Chapter Thirty-Three: The Controlled Puppet Ice Method
From the space bags of the two of them, Lu Chengfeng found an elixir worth about a few thousand gold coins, and the crystal cards of the two of them also had almost 20,000 gold on them.
Shen Lin's weapon was well maintained and did not over-engage Lu Chengfeng's lightsaber, so it still had a certain value. As long as you find a way to make a move, it will not be a problem to exchange a few thousand gold coins. It's a pity that the Korean sword and leather armor are not good. Especially the dark snake-patterned leather armor, the most valuable magical equipment on the body, was cut by Lu Chengfeng's lightsaber, and it seemed to be completely useless.
This made Lu Chengfeng feel a little sorry.
In the end, on the apprentice who disguised himself as a mage, Lu Chengfeng found another two or three thousand gold. This kind of harvest is much more than the hard work of taking on mercenary tasks. No wonder some people say that the gold belt of murder and arson, this money speed, it is really easy to tempt those greedy people to go down the evil path!
After checking it one last time and finding that there was no problem, Lu Chengfeng quietly left here.
In Kaiyang City, most of the people in the Blood Knife Team were still staring at the results, and Lu Chengfeng had no idea of going back for the time being. After hesitating for a moment, Lu Chengfeng decided to continue looking for the Demon Soul Demon Vine.
Because he had been fair with the mercenary union, Lu Chengfeng confirmed that the task that the other party used to deceive him was indeed a matter of fact. In other words, in the place where the Korean side planned to go before, there was indeed the existence of a demon soul demon vine. Although Lu Chengfeng can't use it, he can sell it after he gets it. The huge income is enough for him to buy himself a good armor.
Demon Soul Demon Vine likes to be cold and gloomy, and must survive in places where elemental energy is strong, and it is very harsh on the surrounding environment, and it is only available in the depths of the Endless Forest. Lu Chengfeng's current position is at least a day's journey away from the Demon Soul Demon Vine. If you encounter other powerful demonic beasts along the way, you may not be able to arrive even if you have a whole day.
Fortunately, Lu Chengfeng's luck is good. Not only did he not encounter the Minotaur tribe, but even the other demonic beasts did not harass him much. At noon on the second day, Lu Chengfeng successfully arrived at the Tianquan Mountain Range, which was located in the middle of the Endless Forest. Due to the special geographical conditions and abundant frost magic, this mountain range with an altitude of less than 2,000 meters can have perennial snow on the top of the mountain.
The Demon Soul Demon Vine is located in the frost pine forest above the snow line of the Tianquan Mountain Range.
After climbing Tianquan Mountain with some hard work, Lu Chengfeng raised his vigilance at the position where the ordinary trees around him were gradually withering and snow was about to appear. Although the Demon Soul Demon Vine is a good thing for a mage whose spiritual power is lower than his own, it doesn't mean that there are no other means of attack. Moreover, there is plenty of magic here, so it is easy to attract some frost-type magical beasts.
That's true.
As Lu Chengfeng stepped into the snow line, a fourth-order ice leopard launched a surprise attack on him from behind the rocks where he was hiding. With its white hair, it blends in with its environment when it is hidden behind snow-covered rocks. And the natural cunning of the leopard clan allows it to converge its breath almost perfectly. If Lu Chengfeng didn't have a quasi-ninth-order consciousness, he wouldn't have been able to discover it no matter what.
Having already mastered the power of frost, the ice leopard shrouded itself in a semi-transparent frost shield the moment it launched its surprise attack. This layer of frost shield not only effectively increases defense, but also causes enemies that attack it to be affected by frost and briefly reduce their attack speed. And the ice leopard will take advantage of this opportunity to launch a counterattack against the enemy.
Ice leopards have used this method to catch their prey more than once.
For ordinary mercenaries, this frost shield is very annoying. However, for Lu Chengfeng, the real danger was the silent surprise attack of the ice leopard. As long as you find out that this guy exists, it won't be a problem to deal with it. Lu Chengfeng can use sword skills like the Earth Crack Wave Sword to kill it from afar, or directly use the falling thunder of the Blue Shadow Thunder Light Sword to bombard it from afar!
Because of his deep understanding of the opponent's ability, this battle was not effortless. After just over a minute, Lu Chengfeng seized the opportunity and hit the other party hard in one fell swoop.
This can only be regarded as a warm-up battle.
Due to the deleted and modified Tianfeng Dou Qi itself is the Dou Qi of 72 Dou Qi, and the self-recovery speed is extremely fast, coupled with the ancient memory effect of the Song of Spiritual Energy, Lu Chengfeng does not need to deliberately recover his Dou Qi after the fight. He only slowed down slightly, and before he could meet the next target, his fighting spirit was already full.
That's why everyone wants a top-notch Dou Qi Gong book!
As the chill intensified and the magic of the ice and snow intensified, the snow on the summit ground and pine forests became thicker and thicker. At the beginning, Lu Chengfeng could still see the strange ice moss on the ground under his feet. Later, I couldn't even see the creaking moss when I stepped on it, and I was able to drown the ankle-high ice. Such a harsh environment seriously affected the speed of the swordsman, and became a big problem in running and footwork.
"Come on~"
At this time, a soft voice suddenly sounded in Lu Chengfeng's mind. It seems to be calling him, but there is a wonderful and strange melody that makes people can't help but relax to the point of drowsiness. The spiritual power attached to it also makes people involuntarily give up resistance.
"What is this?"
Lu Chengfeng's consciousness was confused for a moment, and then he immediately sobered up, expelling that malicious spiritual power.
It seemed that he found that his spiritual power was not working, and the wonderful summoning sound seemed to be getting louder and louder. But Lu Chengfeng, who had already strengthened his vigilance, was no longer affected in any way. He had a firm sword heart, and before he was reborn, he had also seen a terrifying spiritual storm from an extraterritorial saint-rank mage, how could he be shaken by such a small means?
However, although this spiritual power failed to affect him, it made Lu Chengfeng realize that he was close to the Demon Soul Demon Vine.
He clenched the azure lightsaber in his hand and cautiously followed the source of his spiritual power. However, what frightened him was that as the distance approached, the spiritual power that raged in his mind became more and more terrifying. In the end, it was like the Qiantang tide of the Tang River Empire, surging wave after wave, constantly impacting his spiritual platform, and it was as if hundreds of people were shouting loudly in his ears.
How could this level of spiritual impact be mastered by a fourth-order demon soul demon vine?
Lu Chengfeng's face changed a little, if it weren't for the fact that he had a quasi-ninth-order soul here, and he was a swordsman profession, he was born with low spiritual power, and he didn't respond to the spiritual resonance of the demon soul demon vine, I am afraid that he would have been controlled by the other party. According to this level, the other party's Yin Dividing is something that can only be done by a demon soul demon vine of at least the fifth order!
The information is wrong.
What surprised Lu Chengfeng even more was that as he advanced against the spiritual storm and approached two hundred meters from the main body of the Demon Soul Demon Vine, he saw four people in different clothes, standing around the Demon Soul Demon Vine. Their eyes were blank, their bodies did not move, and they seemed to have been controlled by the demon vine, firmly protecting the demon vine. And the main body of the demon vine, which was four or five meters high, was surging with magic power up and down, and the silver vines with blood red were also swaying up and down, and the split yin was a sign of the beginning of the promotion.
The bifurcated center of the branch, the two persimmon-sized, unripe red fruits, are the best proof!
Could it be?
Lu Chengfeng was really a little shocked, this Demon Soul Demon Vine was not a fourth-order at all, but a fifth-order, or the kind that was about to be promoted again. Although this promotion process is much slower than that of the real Warcraft, and it cannot be completed in three or two days, it still surprises Lu Chengfeng.
For the Demon Soul Demon Vine, the fifth-order and sixth-order are completely different existences.
Before the sixth order, the Demon Soul Demon Vine was classified into the category of magic plants. Although it has a certain amount of combat power, it has limited ability because the rhizome cannot move, and mainly relies on spiritual resonance to control the enemy, followed by vine tentacle attacks. But after reaching the sixth order, its rhizomes can be pulled out of the ground, and the vines will also evolve the effect of sucking blood, and its combat effectiveness will be greatly increased. At that time, relying on even more terrifying mind control, the demon soul demon vine will really be a monster that everyone fears.
At that time, no one would be able to kill it unless it was a true seventh-order master!
Of course, in addition to its strong combat power, the sixth-order Demon Soul Demon Vine also means that its value is even higher. The fourth-order demon soul demon vine is already a precious magic material for ordinary mages. can evolve to the sixth order, and it will be at least 100,000 gold coins at the auction, and it is still priceless.
If you want to say that you are not moved by such a demon soul demon vine, it must be fake. However, Lu Chengfeng stared at the demon vine that was stretching in the ice and snow, but he had great concerns in his heart.
Since the combat power is not strong, if it is an ordinary fifth-order demon soul demon vine, it is possible for Lu Chengfeng to cross the level and kill it. However, the Demon Soul Demon Vine in front of him was already about to advance to the sixth order. Moreover, the four controlled guards around him made Lu Chengfeng hesitate to make any moves.
He couldn't defeat just one demon soul vine, let alone four puppets?
However, just when Lu Chengfeng was groaning from afar, the demon soul demon vine seemed to be unable to control him all the time, and finally became angry. Under the fluctuation of its spiritual power, a puppet mage who was facing the side of the landing Chengfeng took mechanical steps and walked towards Lu Chengfeng.
The moment he saw the puppet's appearance and dress, Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but be stunned.
The woman's face was still veiled, she was dressed in an ice-blue gold-rimmed magic robe, a crescent-shaped cryolite staff in her hand, and a blue winged mage head ring on her head. Although she couldn't see her appearance clearly, just this gorgeous magic equipment made Lu Chengfeng recognize that she was the fourth-order peak ice technique he met near the city gate when he returned to Kaiyang that day!
Even she was controlled?
