Chapter Twenty-Seven: Trapped
Where am I?
Luo Hou looked around.
Silent and dark underground grottoes, surrounded by caves that lead to nowhere, glowing moss from the stone walls bring a faint illumination.
Filthy spiritual power filled the air, mixed with a dark and incomprehensible aura.
The Golden Silkworm Gu's spell didn't hurt him, it just took him to a weird place.
Clairvoyance.
Luo Hou looked up and tried to cast his gaze on the ground, only to find that his vision was blocked by a mysterious layer of magic above after passing over the thick rock formation.
That mana barrier is very powerful, and with his spiritual power cultivation, clairvoyance can't penetrate it, and it is estimated that he can't get through it physically.
I remember that Tian Ming said that he would seal me into the Ten Thousand Poison Cave...... It seems that the barrier is the so-called seal, and I was locked up in this place by him.
Luo Hou had heard Shi Qing talk about this place in the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, he could only enter but not exit, and it was extremely dangerous, with many automated, uncontrollable powerful spirit Gus, ordinary people would definitely die when they came in.
And Shi Qing's father was once thrown here because of some things......
It seems that Tian Ming is trying to trap me.
Luo Hou looked at the surrounding dense, large and small caves with clairvoyance, and the intricate grotto structure was suddenly revealed under his sight.
There are so many spirit Gu here?
The spirit Gu hidden in the cave with different breaths was as conspicuous in his eyes as a light in the dark, and the spiritual power was very strong, there were many of them, and the variety was far richer than what he had seen in Ishida Village above.
Luo Hou understood after a little thought.
This grotto is probably at least a hundred years old, and at that time, the Gu Clan had only recently declined, and the number of Gu Masters and Spirit Gu in the village should be much higher than it is now.
Even though it is declining more and more, after several generations of accumulation, the spiritual power and various magic characteristics stored in various forms in this Ten Thousand Poison Cave have reached an astonishing scale.
In this place, all the spirit Gu are uncontrolled, devouring each other like wild beasts, and if ordinary people come here, I'm afraid they won't live for a moment or three.
But for Luo Hou, this is simply a free canteen.
Coiling Mantra.
More than a dozen slender threads of red spiritual power penetrated deep into a cave on the left, tying out a thick centipede with a writhing arm.
This centipede has enough spiritual power of the sixth turn of the green rank, has a terrifying blood-devouring spell, and can beat a group of Gu masters outside, but to Luo Hou, it is no different from a live prawn.
Ignoring the centipede's constant mana attacks, Luo Hou also used the Blood Devouring Spell, instantly sucking it into a dried corpse, and swallowing it directly into his body along with all the spiritual power.
Delicious and comfortable.
After eating the centipede skin, it was thrown to the ground, and immediately many small poisonous insects gathered to devour it.
These ordinary poisonous insects devoured the remains of the Spirit Gu, and there was the possibility of further transformation, they continued to absorb the spiritual power in the cave, and new Spirit Gu would soon appear.
The entire ecosystem of the Ten Thousand Poison Caves is like this, constantly circulating, self-evolving, and all kinds of mana are mixed and accumulated at will, I don't know what monsters will be born?
After devouring a six-turn spirit Gu, Luo Hou finally relieved some of his hunger after being promoted.
But at the same time, he also discovered one thing, that is, he could only recover the loss by devouring the Qing-rank Spirit Gu now, but it was difficult to directly increase his spiritual power.
Compared with the red rank, there has been a qualitative change in spiritual power, and he cannot be backward compatible, so he must devour the spirit Gu of the same level in order to continue to improve.
However, the root of the curse power of the Spirit Gu is in the genetic characteristics of the flesh, and he can still transform and replicate.
Well?
Luo Hou suddenly found that at the moment when he was distracted, the centipede skin that was still at his feet just now disappeared, leaving only a bunch of small poisonous insects running around in a daze.
What the heck?
Without any sound or fluctuation of spiritual power, right under his nose, what took the remains of the centipede?
Something interesting.
Knowing that he had encountered a spirit Gu with strange abilities, Luo Hou became interested in it.
He directly opened his clairvoyance to carefully search the surroundings, and finally found a wriggling black shadow in the dark cave more than ten meters away.
That shadow could not be seen with the naked eye, nor could he perceive any breath, and Luo Hou might not be able to detect the abnormality even if he passed there.
Such a superb concealment spell can be called cheating, but there is nothing to hide under the clairvoyance of the same cheating level.
He manipulated dozens of silk threads to pierce into the shadows, and directly tied up the spirit Gu inside.
This is a black spider that is only the size of a palm, with very high spiritual power, and it has enough green rank eight turns, but it has no attack power compared to the spirit Gu of the same level, presumably it has survived until now by relying on its concealment ability to snatch and eat the remains.
Blot directly and transform. Luo Hou copied that unique curse and tried to cast it.
In the tiny and almost imperceptible fluctuations of mana, his massive body slowly sank as if swallowed by a swamp, disappearing into the shadows beneath him.
After a few breaths, another shadow in the distance suddenly stretched out a few tentacles, and Luo Hou appeared silently.
Shadow spells, which can create a different dimension to hide in the darkness or shadows, can hide the body and aura to the greatest extent.
It can also move in the shadows by constantly creating space, but the speed is very slow, and there is no defense, the space can be easily interfered with by external forces, and too much movement will also leak breath, and it is also very spiritually consuming.
Even so, for the existence of the same spiritual power, it is almost impossible to detect without spiritual eyes, and it can also be used as earth escape and wall piercing techniques.
Frontal combat is a bit of a trick, and it's a trick of lurking and escaping.
Then, Luo Hou used the shadow spell to pass through the rock formation, floating vertically as if swimming in water, and came to the top of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave in the blink of an eye.
This is a huge cavity with a diameter and height of more than twenty meters, the ground is full of human bones and the remains of poisonous insects, and there is a closed copper gate embedded in the top stone wall, which is supposed to be a portal for the Gu clan to put all kinds of things.
Luo Hou thought for a moment, stretched out his tentacles upward, and launched the snake binding spell.
Several snake-shaped terrifying forces almost turned out, like a giant python pounced on food, and rushed towards the copper gate.
However, the powerful sealing spell was activated, forming an invisible wall of copper in the air, and violently slammed into the snake spell.
"Boom!"
After a loud muffled sound, the seal froze, and the serpentine mana dissipated into nothingness.
Next, Luo Hou tried to use the other six curses in turn, but none of them could break through the powerful sealing power, and it had nothing to do with the type of curse, it was purely not enough.
Tsk, sure enough, in the face of absolute strength, all the fancy tricks are useless.
Luo Hou sighed in his heart, he suspected that even if the Golden Silkworm Gu King came in, he would not be able to get out.
At this moment, a violent aura suddenly appeared in the distance, and quickly approached here.
Red Order Spirit Gu?
Luo Hou had an alarm bell in his heart, and he made every effort to strengthen the spiritual barrier on the surface of his body.
The next moment, the barrier collided with the opponent's mana.
"Poof~"
It wasn't completely blocked, and a trace of mana broke through the barrier and seeped through.
Luo Hou raised a tentacle and watched as the flesh at the end quickly dehydrated, carbonized, and finally dripped to the ground like mud.
The curse of strong corrosion? The flesh lost in this way cannot be recovered.
Luo Hou stared at the cave in front of him, and an emerald green scorpion the size of a basin crawled out, with three red spirit patterns on its tail.
It seems that he has to survive in this poison cave first.
