Chapter 148: The Restless Jindan Monk
The entire black domain covers a wide range, with screams of death in some places and silent in others, and death is not everywhere, many monks are mostly on the move, some in the clouds, some under the clouds, and some in hiding.
Above the clouds, it was clear, except in the dark of night, and occasionally there might be a brief pause of the monk, most of the time not even a single shadow of the monk could be seen.
This is actually quite normal, comparing the clouds to the surface of the sea, everyone hides under the surface of the sea, and whoever runs above the surface of the sea is in full view, and many monks will not run above the clouds, but occasionally they will show their heads for a short observation.
Above the sky, ordinary monks dare not set foot in it, but it definitely does not include high-ranking monks, these monks who observe the situation at high altitude are just thinking about whether they can occasionally observe the figures of some high-ranking monks appearing in the distance, so as to judge whether it is time to leave early.
Because most of the time he can't meet monks, Li Qiao is not in a state of stealth all the time, otherwise it would be too wasteful. Most of the time, he appears normally, using his divine sense to check the situation around him, and only when he encounters other monks will he enter a state of temporary invisibility.
According to the initial assumption, if he encountered a monk who he felt could be killed, Li Qiao would do it directly, but because he had witnessed several fights with other monks, and then the monk suddenly attacked, he temporarily gave up this idea.
In the environment of the Black Domain, it is not easy to find other monks, especially the low clouds, and it is normal for a monk to suddenly rush down from it.
If Li Qiao's initial idea was to obtain some resources to make his future cultivation path smoother, but when he found that his stealth means had been upgraded, he thought more about taking this opportunity to accumulate more spiritual evil, so that when he encountered danger in the future, he could face it more calmly.
Although it can be obtained by killing other monks, it is somewhat risky to do it yourself, and it is good for other monks to do it here, and it is good to pick up the cheap directly, of course, if there is an opportunity to easily obtain resources, Li Qiao will not let it go.
After staying in the clouds for a while, Li Qiao ran under the clouds, although it was relatively safer in the clouds, but the area that could be noticed would be much smaller.
At first, Li Qiao still kept moving quickly, but he found that it was easy to meet other monks, so he was forced to turn on invisibility, although what he wanted was the spirit evil, but if the silk cold was not in a full state, this spiritual evil would not appear, so it was not easy to consume too much of the silk cold.
And also found that this spirit evil can only exist under the slightest cold and completely wrapped, Li Qiao tried to control a trace of spiritual evil from the ghost vein, the moment the result came out, it disappeared without a trace, seeing this scene, immediately started the spiritual evil extinguishing line, hoping to suck back this trace of spiritual evil, but found that it was useless at all, the moment the spiritual evil seemed to come out has already dissipated between heaven and earth.
The most important thing is that after Li Qiao found that he increased his movement speed, he found that the probability of other monks fighting did not increase, and the monk fights would end in a short time, if they appeared within Li Qiao's perception range, they could be found that if they were not within the range of perception, if they ran too fast, they were prone to a situation where they had just passed through the area and they couldn't detect it.
In other words, whether or not you can meet other monks to fight depends entirely on luck.
So later, Li Qiao slowed down his movement speed.
Walking in the dark, leisurely feeling the dangerous environment and the crisis that may arise at any time, the mental state is always in a high concentration.
At a certain moment, Li Qiao's steps forward were paused, he should have sensed something, and the next moment he changed the direction of his progress.
A faint voice full of pain came from the front, and as I walked forward, the clearer the voice seemed to become.
While moving forward, Li Qiao was also constantly reducing the range of his divine consciousness, in this black domain, he would only occasionally open his divine sense to check the surrounding environment, most of the time, he only kept the range of one hundred zhang of divine consciousness.
The larger the scope of the divine consciousness, the more tolerant it becomes
It is easy to meet the divine consciousness of other monks, so as to expose himself, maintain a certain range of divine consciousness, and prevent being attacked by other monks in a non-stealth state, and in order to prevent himself from being attacked by other monks who have stealth means, Li Qiao also often turns on the pupil technique to observe the surroundings.
However, it seems that a monk who can become invisible should be good, and he has not seen any other monks who can become invisible. I knew in my heart that this was related to the fact that there were too few monks he had met, and there were many monks in the entire immortal cultivation world, and what he had seen since he cultivated was only a drop in the ocean.
Discovering other monks mainly depends on perception, after all, where there is a fight, there will be some movement.
The further I went, the clearer the moans became, and there was something tempting about the pain, and it was supposed to be a nun who made the sound.
The feeling was getting closer, and the range of divine consciousness was also decreasing with the movement, and when only the scope of the ten zhang divine consciousness was left in the end, Li Qiao entered the state of ghost vein annihilation.
It feels very close, but I don't perceive the other party's divine consciousness, I don't know if it was deliberately put away, or if the injured divine consciousness can't be released.
After moving forward for a distance, a clear picture appeared in front of Li Qiao: a beautiful and bewitching female cultivator was lying on a piece of rubble, her face was pale, her eyes were misty, there was a large wound on her abdomen, and under her body was a pool of blood, and the blood stains on the edge had turned a little dark red.
Judging from the superficial situation, this is a seriously injured female cultivator, under normal circumstances, in the face of such a non-fatal injury, the monk should be able to deal with it, but from the female cultivator's eyes, it seems that she has been hit by some kind of illusion or something, and she has not gotten rid of it, or because the injury is serious, she can't suppress it, which caused such a situation.
There were other monks' corpses around, everything seemed very reasonable, and the most important thing was that there were seven obvious storage bags hanging on top of the nun's injured and bewitching body, any monk would inevitably be a little moved when he saw such a scene, but Li Qiao stood in place.
Although his divine sense was not released, and he didn't find any suspicious traces as far as he could see, when Li Qiao used his pupil technique to look at it again, he saw the fluctuation of the formation on the boulder not far in front of the female cultivator, and it was obvious that this was a bait from someone else.
Faced with this situation, Li Qiao neither chose to take the risk nor chose to leave, but waited in place, and the other party ate meat and drank soup!
Time passed little by little, and before long, there was prey on the bait! The figure of a male cultivator appeared not far away, this newly appeared monk, after discovering this situation, he immediately put his divine sense to the maximum range, it turned out that Li Qiao was not the only one who narrowed the scope of his divine consciousness, some simple methods, as long as the monk was not too stupid, he could think of it.
After making sure that there were no other monks nearby, the monk was at full speed, and immediately went straight to the injured nun, in the process of approaching, the flying sword went first, and the target was directly aimed at the nun's head, looking at its posture, it was to quickly solve the hidden danger, and then leave directly.
Looking at its movement speed and the flying sword that was only a medium-grade magic weapon, Li Qiao knew that this was just a Qi cultivation period cultivator, and at this time, the Qi cultivation cultivator's eyes were particularly bright, and there was also a trace of eagerness on his face.
For him, as long as he killed the seriously injured female cultivator in front of him and snatched all the storage bags on the other party's body, then his venture into the turbulent area this time could end early, as long as he could leave smoothly, it should not be a problem to build a foundation in the future.
Just as the monk was nervous with a glimmer of good thoughts about the future, the sound of an exchange of fire sounded, and a slight change occurred.
It turned out that when the flying sword appeared in the sky above the female cultivator and was about to complete the fatal blow, I don't know whether the female cultivator who was in a daze sensed the crisis, or the defensive magic weapon on her body was always open, and a palm-sized high-grade magic weapon shield appeared, directly blocking the attack of the flying sword, the flying sword kept moving, and the defensive magic weapon also kept moving.
Seeing such a situation, the Qi cultivator was happy and anxious, happy to find that the opponent's defensive magic weapon turned out to be of the highest grade, and anxious to face such a situation It would take a little more time, he just wanted to get something quickly, and then hide above the clouds, which was a little too dangerous for a Qi cultivator like him.
It's not that he didn't want to run underground and hide for a long time,
Wait for everything to calm down before leaving, but he knows how long this troubled place will last, and even if he hides underground, there is half a chance of being discovered, so staying away from here is his final choice, but he has no chance to leave here.
When he appeared not far in front of the female cultivator, and was about to make a move with all his strength, a sword light suddenly appeared behind him, so fast that the qi cultivator didn't have time to react.
"A garbage practice, a waste of my time!"
This was the last voice that the Qi cultivator heard when he died.
The one who appeared at the scene was a male cultivator with a somewhat gloomy face, although Li Qiao was in a state of invisibility and could not use his divine sense to perceive and check the other party's cultivation, but after taking a look at the other party's clothes, he still judged that the other party was a Jindan monk.
Because he learned the techniques of several Jindan monks from his family, although he can't learn them yet, Li Qiao has already kept his cultivation process and closeness in mind, and at this moment he can see that the clothes worn by the other party are the unique 'spirit clothes' of monks above the Jindan period, because the other party is a Jindan stage monk, so it can also be called 'Jindan clothes.'
If he encountered it in other places, Li Qiao might still suspect that the other party would be a Jindan or above cultivator, but in this chaotic place, it must not be a Jindan or above cultivator who still needs to use this kind of fishing method.
After the other party simply disposed of the corpse of the Qi cultivator, he began to continue to hide, and Li Qiao also began to continue to wait after absorbing the slightest coldness not far away, he only hoped that the other party could fish more, otherwise after a long time, he might be a little unable to make ends meet after being in a state of stealth, so he could wait and see.
Li Qiao also noticed that it should be a monk from the Jindan period glanced at him, and he didn't know if he had found anything, but seeing that the other party had no action, Li Qiao, who had the spirit of annihilation, was also very bold and continued to wait for the soup.
After everything returned to its previous state, suddenly the nun's voice became louder, and then gradually weakened.
This is to try to let the monks in the distance find out about the situation here, and this phenomenon also makes Li Qiao find that there is something wrong with this female cultivator, originally he thought that this was just a female cultivator who was injured and concocted, but at this moment, judging from this situation, things are obviously not so simple.
Sure enough, not long after, another monk appeared here, and this time the monk who appeared seemed to be a foundation.
The monk is different from the monk, this Zhuji male cultivator, the first reaction after seeing the female cultivator was not to kill, but his eyes lit up, after coming to the female cultivator, he began to use his means to put some needle-shaped magic weapons into the female cultivator's body, and this time the female cultivator's reaction was different from the last time, and she did not use the magic weapon to defend, and completely let the other party let go.
But when the male cultivator thought that there was no problem and picked up the female cultivator, something happened suddenly. He suddenly fell to the ground weakly, and his whole body gradually withered, and finally the male cultivator's body broke many small holes, and some dark red blood flowed out, but if you look closely, you will find that the dark red blood is moving.
There were often some dense small protrusions on the moving blood, as if countless tiny insects were hidden in it, and finally the blood flowed through the wounds on the nun's body, and the nun's face became more and more eerily ruddy.
This female cultivator is not a monk, it is likely to be some kind of special refining corpse, Li Qiao made a judgment at this moment.
"Is it fun to hide aside?" Just as Li Qiao continued to drink the soup, a gloomy voice suddenly sounded here.
I didn't find any other monks here, so I said to myself? Although he didn't feel anything abnormal, Li Qiao still converted the Ghost Vein Annihilation into the Spirit Evil Annihilation at the first time.
Are you a little too arrogant? Li Qiao thought so.
And when Li Qiao entered the second state of stealth, the fishing Jindan monk was also a little suspicious, he didn't feel that there were other monks around him, but when he killed the qi cultivator, the controlled refining corpse faintly came with some senses, and if he could have this method, it was likely that the monk who was not weaker than him.
But when he made a move just now, it was a good opportunity, but the other party didn't make a move, so he kept quiet, and then secretly released the spirit worm, when the foundation building monk appeared
, and didn't do it personally, but it turned out to be nothing.
It was impossible to leave such a hidden danger by his side, so he made a tentative sound, but the other party did not respond, and the refining corpse suddenly couldn't sense the existence of the other party.
Was it a mistake before refining the corpse? There were still powerful monks nearby, and at this moment, the fishing Jindan monk felt a little uneasy in his heart.
