〇 43 moths
The combat power of the Black Wind Rat is negligible, but it is a first-class good thing to use to explore the path, and it is very likely that someone will pay attention to such a weak gadget.
As the little thing continued to explore, a zigzag underground passage appeared in Xu Wen's mind.
After a little comparison, he found that although the cave often zigzags, it was extending eastward as a whole, pointing directly in the direction of the inner city.
This is also consistent with Xu Wen's conjecture, if it is said that the place where Qingfeng City's aura is the strongest, it is naturally a non-inner city modulus.
There was no danger all the way, and Xu Wen also followed the Black Wind Rat to explore inside.
The deeper into the tunnel, the stronger the concentration of the spiritual energy, and soon it reached a level that was enough for the cultivation of the fourth layer of qi refining.
This concentration of aura was enough for Xu Wen to break through smoothly, but the tunnel still hadn't reached the end.
After climbing forward for another three or four hundred feet, the Black Wind Rat's vision suddenly expanded a lot, and he actually came to an underground cave, which should be the end of this tunnel.
With a joy in his heart, he was about to drive the Black Wind Rat to explore the cave well, when several small golden and red rays of light suddenly flew out of the corner and swooped down on the Black Wind Rat directly.
Each one is the size of a thumb, with a thin head and horns, and a thin oval eye and waist, like a bumblebee, but more streamlined than a bumblebee.
"Moth spirit bee!"
Shocked, Xu Wen immediately ordered the Black Wind Rat to turn around.
The flesh puppets summoned by the Enma Creation Statue are very special, and both the flesh and the body are not made of the material of the statue itself, as if they were summoned from a special place.
The natural death of the summoned will not have any effect on the statue, but if it is an unnatural death, the statue will take some damage.
Therefore, although Xu Wen didn't care about the Black Wind Rat, he didn't want it to die here inexplicably.
The Black Wind Rat quickly turned around, but the flying moth was much faster than it, and in the blink of an eye, it flew on top of the Black Wind Rat, and the shining poisonous needle flashed and pierced the top of the Black Wind Rat's head.
The Black Wind Rat is a flesh and blood puppet, and the head is not the key point, but under the attack of the toxin, the internal talisman is still greatly affected, and its movements are a little uncoordinated.
Staggering around in the pile of rocks, occasionally crashing into the protruding rocks, slowing down all of a sudden.
The other dozen or so moths immediately pounced on them and stabbed at the Black Wind Rat.
"Damn it!"
Xu Wen immediately cut off contact with the Black Wind Rat, but he still felt as if the sharp poisonous needle was stabbing at his body.
What a fierce little thing!
With a scolding scolding, he pulled out the Xuantie Sword, and Xu Wen cautiously walked forward.
Reiki gives birth to all things and is the source of the evolution of all living beings.
It is impossible for the aura here to give birth to high-level spirit insects, although the moth spirit bee is fierce, it is only an insect in the early stage of qi refining, and Xu Wen will not be afraid of them.
The closer you get to the cave, the wider the passage becomes, and the passage here is large enough for one to walk upright.
Walking dozens of feet, there was a bright light in front of him, and Xu Wen suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
Without thinking, he turned around suddenly, raised his hand and slashed into the air.
Mana gushed out, aura gathered, and small grass grew out of thin air, forming an impermeable small cage, and the menacing moth couldn't dodge and crashed into it.
The sharp poisonous needles flashed, and several grasses turned into mana collapsed in an instant, but more grass rushed towards it, and soon trapped the moth.
The next moment, the "buzzing" sound of flapping wings was loud, and more than a dozen moths emerged in unison, rushing towards Xu Wen.
The fingers flew, several fireballs flew out, the winged insects were the most afraid of flames, and the moths suddenly fled in panic, and the originally strict formation was suddenly scattered.
However, Xu Qian had other ideas about these moths, and did not want to burn them to charcoal, and the fireball was very slow, grazing them and flying into the depths of the cave.
But there were a few particularly ferocious moths that had already pounced on him, and he had no choice but to snap his fingers and shoot out several wooden thorns in a row, blasting them one by one.
It's a pity, it's a pity!
While screaming in his heart, Xu Wen cast spells again and again, and one after another of the grass came up out of thin air, grabbing all the remaining moths.
Walking further ten or so zhang, the surroundings were suddenly empty, and an underground cave with a height of five or six zhang and an area of fifty or sixty suddenly appeared.
In the middle of the cave was a one-foot-long stalagmite, and the moment Xu Wen came in, there was a thick aura rushing out from the stalagmite, and the aura of the cave suddenly rose a level.
"Spiritual Cave!"
Although he had already guessed, the moment he saw this scene, Xu Wen couldn't help but exclaim.
Spiritual energy is generated by spiritual veins, which are divided into first-order spiritual veins, second-order spiritual veins, etc., according to the amount of spiritual energy generated, and are also known as spiritual acupuncture points and spiritual springs......
The spiritual acupuncture points correspond to the qi refining period, and they cannot produce spiritual qi all the time, and only erupt at a certain time.
The spiritual spring is endless, like the spring water all the time, so it is called the spiritual spring, not that there is really a spring.
In the future, the aura has been very strong, not only can provide cultivation, but also affect the surrounding environment, this kind of place is no longer an ordinary place, but is called a spiritual land, a spiritual realm, and even a dojo, a cave blessed land, and so on.
Qingfeng City was built on the second-order spiritual vein, but what Xu Wen and other ordinary monks could enjoy was to use the formation to gather and distribute the spiritual energy, and different plots had strict restrictions on the spiritual energy.
And an exclusive spiritual vein, even the lowest-level spiritual acupoint, is enough for cultivation during the Qi refining period.
However, now this spirit cave can't be counted as his, there is a fist-sized mud nest at the top of the stalagmite, and a giant moth that is twice the size of an ordinary moth is lying on it, staring at Xu Wen with fierce eyes.
This is the source of this nest of moths, the queen of moths, who may have come here when they burrowed into the ground to find a host, and then settled here.
Fortunately, the moth spirit bee only lays one egg per litter, and the lifespan is limited, if it is a bee, wasp or the like, it is estimated that it can hatch thousands of offspring.
Looking at the Queen of the Moth, Xu Wen suddenly raised his hand, and the cold mountain disappeared in a flash, and the Xuantie Sword instantly cut the Moth Nest into several pieces, and the larvae inside were also shocked into powder.
At the same time, an ear-piercing scream suddenly sounded from the empty underground cave, and in the strange scream, the Queen of Moths was like a sharp arrow that swam, constantly pounced around Xu Wen.
Although it was only a mid-first-order spirit worm, its speed was definitely above that of many late-stage spirit worms, and its iron-like wings vibrated violently, emitting a terrifying scream.
A series of clanging sounds sounded, and in just an instant, the Xuantie Sword was struck dozens of times.
Being hit like this, the average insect would have been shattered a long time ago, but his body was as hard as steel, and there was nothing to do.
With a flick of his fingers, a series of spells flew out, wooden thorns, winding spells, and small fireballs, but they were all dodged by it at an extremely fast speed.
