Chapter 268: The Last Effort
Heavy rain poured down on the mountains, electric snakes danced wildly in the dark clouds, and thunder rumbled.
Liu Xiaolou sat under the canopy, the sound of drums and flutes was majestic and passionate in the thunder, and the soul of the leopard was swaying in the wind and rain.
This spirit leopard's talent is the power of thunder and lightning, in the year-long exploration, Liu Xiaolou has found that it is the right time to cultivate the spirit leopard during a thunderstorm, whenever the thunder comes and the lightning shines, a little thunder and lightning power will be absorbed by the soul shadow, transformed and retained.
Another three months have passed, and this spirit leopard soul shadow has grown to more than six feet long and more than two feet tall, although it is very different from the "real form", it can be recognized as a phantom at a glance, but it is already extremely realistic, not only the hair is visible, but even the faint blue light in the eyes has also appeared, it looks like the spirit leopard has been reborn.
Until now, this spirit leopard soul shadow has also initially possessed a little fighting strength, don't look at it as a soul shadow, it also has a strong wind when it pounces on people, fangs and claws can also hurt people, the leopard's tail sweeps, can sweep off a three-finger-thick tree trunk, and there are thunder and lightning ringing on the leopard's tail from time to time, touching the skin, with the effect of numbness.
When Liu Xiaolou had just come down to Oolong Mountain, with his strength in the second layer of qi refining, he really had to fight with this Spirit Leopard Soul Shadow.
A soul shadow has the power of fighting methods, which is very mysterious to say, and I have to sigh that some Dao methods in the Badong cultivation world do have merit, and they are one of the well-deserved avenues.
Let the spirit leopard soul shadow help each other, it is definitely not yet hot, this is a long-term cultivation process, but the soul shadow has already taken shape, but it is time to escape.
He came to the edge of the canopy range, patiently waiting for the opportunity, and at the same time took out another magic weapon in the Qiankun bag, the Hidden Jade Jue, and put it on his body. This piece of jade jue was seized from the second son of Lu Yuanlang in Tianmu Mountain, Lu Yuanlang's younger brother, who used this piece of concealed jade jue to avoid the divine sense patrol of the Qingyu Sect at that time, but when he tried to escape last year, he did not avoid the detection of the tree demon. This time he still wore it, hoping that it would be good to have at least a little effect, even if it was to confuse the Dryad's divine sense?
A thunderclap shook the mountains, and the long electric snake extended from the southwest to the northeast, cutting through the sky. Liu Xiaolou, who had been preparing for a long time, saw the opportunity, and the sharp drum and flute sounded, and the spirit leopard soul shadow conjured out of the flute and rushed madly outside.
At the same time, Liu Xiaolou Zhenyuan circulated, tiptoed a little, and rushed outward.
The cultivation of the tenth layer of Qi refining has gone up a big step compared to the eighth layer, at least two percent faster!
The earth shook, and several vines broke through the ground and rolled towards the spirit leopard soul shadow, entangled the soul shadow's limbs and tail. The shadow of the soul burst into lightning, burning sparks on the vines, struggling. It's a pity that the strength of this spirit leopard soul shadow is too weak, and it didn't cause any trauma on the vines, and in the blink of an eye, it was entangled and dragged back.
Liu Xiaolou didn't plan to rely on the soul shadow and the tree demon fighting method, what he wanted was the soul shadow to attract the attention of the tree demon and fight for a chance for himself, for this reason, he could give up this soul shadow that had been refined for a year!
The body jumped out quickly, and at this moment, he was extremely eager for the free world in front of him.
The two ankles suddenly tightened, and a strong surge came, dragging Liu Xiaolou back. Liu Xiaolou was in a hurry, the three Xuan swords made a move, and the three sword rays quickly turned into sword flowers, rolling towards the vines that were entwined with him.
The advantage of cultivating is that the sword rays are also stronger, and the three soft sword rays quickly rotated and twisted over, and finally twisted a vine. This was the first time he had broken the tough vines, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, but the joy didn't last two breaths, more vines were entangled, and he tried to block it with a glass shield, but there were too many vines wrapped up, and he was firmly tied up with the glass shield, and dragged back.
In a hurry, Liu Xiaolou sacrificed the array plate, which was a helpless move of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, but who knew that it would have an effect.
The vines that bound him suddenly became chaotic, some loosened, fluttering around in confusion, looking clueless, while others were tied more tightly, as if they did not realize that they had bound him, and the more they strangled him, the more they strangled him, and the more he strangled him, so that his tongue sprang out.
More vines burst out of the ground, enclosing the formation's area of effect, weaving a tight fence one after another, trapping him in the fence.
If you want to be again, you will be killed
Strangled to death, Liu Xiaolou had to withdraw the array, and as soon as the formation was scattered, the vines immediately found Liu Xiaolou and circled him countless times, like a silkworm chrysalis, dragged back and hung under the tree.
It was hung like this for seven days, and at a certain moment, the "silkworm chrysalis" suddenly loosened, and the vines shrank back, and Liu Xiaolou rushed down and fell to the mud, and after a while, his mind gradually sobered up.
Thinking about this escape, he probably understood a few things:
First, the spirit leopard soul shadow is effective, and the dryad will also judge the soul shadow as a living creature and separate vines to block it;
Second, the formation is effective, and the Dryad's IQ is obviously higher than that of the Spirit Leopard, so it will be confused by the formation;
Third, although the dryad punished himself severely, he still did not have the idea of killing himself or eating himself;
Fourth, this time it was undoubtedly determined that the dryad not only relied on his divine sense to detect movements, but also had "eyes", and could also rely on "eyes" to judge the movements of his prey, so the Hidden Jade Jue did not play the slightest role;
Fifth, the idea of escaping by himself is still effective, at least the distance of escaping - the distance in the air is far greater than before, and the biggest difficulty is how to deal with the large number of vines, if he can refine ten soul shadows, will he have a chance?
How difficult it is to refine just one soul shadow, how easy is it to refine ten? It takes ten years?
Not to mention the question of how long it takes, where to take the soul from, this question is extremely head-scratching. Not all living beings can use it to ingest souls, not spirit beasts and spirit insects, and the ingested souls cannot be refined.
Liu Xiaolou carefully pondered the way out, but he couldn't think of anything, so he could only circle around these two acres and three points, walking around, walking around
In the next three months, he was still trapped here, without spirit stones, his cultivation progress had almost stagnated, and he could only rely on the berries and fat insects occasionally thrown by the dryad to replenish a trace of spiritual power, but if he wanted to refine the ten layers with this, it was completely impossible without thirty or fifty years, and as for building the foundation, he didn't dare to think about it.
He still insisted on refining the Spirit Leopard Soul Shadow once in the morning and in the evening, although he didn't see much effect, but it had become the only way to pass the time of boredom.
Although it is a hundred thousand mountains in the south, and the four seasons are not distinct, as the weather is no longer so hot, especially in the morning and evening, he can still judge that the second winter he is trapped in here is coming.
He didn't know how many times he kowtowed to the tree demon, how many times he bowed down religiously, and it had reached the point where the five bodies were thrown to the ground, but the tree demon didn't mean to let him go at all, but the spirit fruits and spirit insects that he fed had increased a little, so that he had more or less a little bit of progress in cultivation, even so, after three months, this spiritual power gain didn't even open up an acupuncture point.
Until one afternoon, he was sitting under a tree in a daze, when his ears suddenly moved, as if he heard the sound of someone talking.
At first he thought it was his hallucination, but soon, the voice was getting closer, and two people came out of the opposite woods.
One man and one woman!
Liu Xiaolou couldn't suppress his emotions, and suddenly burst into tears!
