Chapter 341: The Battle Half a Year Ago
When Li Xuanyu was brought back from the Hengduan Mountain Range by Li Xuangang, he was seriously injured, so much so that when he had just returned to Taiqiu Mountain, he had to close the cave mansion and recuperate his injuries inside.
It wasn't until today, half a year later, that after spending a huge amount of pill resources, I was able to recover a rough idea, and I didn't need to continue the retreat for recuperation.
Recalling the moment of life and death in that underground space, Rao Yili Xuangang's always resolute temperament couldn't help but have some heart palpitations.
Indeed, as he said to Li Changji, at that time, on the edge of that underground dark river, if it weren't for the combat sensitivity he had cultivated over the years, and the luck of being favored by fate, then the life of the twelfth brother might have really been left there.
......
Now, although the Li family of Taiqiu Mountain has become a family with Jindan period monks sitting in the formation, it can also be regarded as the second most powerful cultivation force in the entire Tianhe region.
But Li Xuangang, who has personally been in charge of the family for several years, knows that his family's background is still insufficient, and there is still a lot of gap compared with the old Jindan family, Qingyuanshan Wang family.
If Li Xuanyu really fell in that underground space half a year ago, it would undoubtedly be a serious loss for their family.
Putting aside the other bloodline bonds, Li Xuanyu's cultivation during the foundation building period alone, coupled with the identity of the second-order lower grade talisman master, was important enough for the entire Taiqiu Mountain.
If it is lost, I don't know when the family will be able to cultivate a clansman like Li Xuanyu again.
Besides, I took him out by myself, and if I didn't bring him back, what ......
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel some feelings in my heart, but Li Xuangang didn't show it in front of my eighth uncle Li Changji.
He calmed down a little in his heart, and then followed the breeze and continued to tell the specific situation at that time:
"After the twelfth brother and I confirmed that the ore contained in that vein was black crystal, we prepared to return to the previous place with the few raw ores in our hands. I'm going to collect the ones that have matured and come back to the Nether Flowers. ”
"But just as we turned around and had just taken a few steps back, there was a movement in the dark river beside us. ”
"And this movement reacted very quickly, even though Xuan Yu and I have always been vigilant, we are still surrounded by dozens of demon beasts that suddenly burst out of the dark river. ”
Li Changji, who was also standing on the edge of the sea of clouds, also withdrew his gaze from the bottom of the mountain, and then looked up and looked at the extreme distance beyond Taiqiu Mountain.
In his ears, Li Xuangang's narration continued, but he actually knew what happened later, and he had already understood it half a year ago.
In that underground space, Li Xuangang and Li Xuanyu encountered a demon beast that lived in the underground dark river, which was a creature that was half fish and half snake.
Its body is like a snake, but there are gills on both sides of the head, and on top of the slender body, there are multiple pairs of fins.
And in addition to these external features, the most irritating thing is that these strange monsters also have sharp teeth, and from a poison sac in their mouths, they can also spray a highly poisonous and corrosive black slime.
According to Li Xuangang's previous description, Li Changji learned that most of the half-fish, half-snake creatures who surrounded them were in the second-order middle grade and the second order upper grade.
At the beginning, although Li Xuangang and Li Xuanyu were troubled by the black slime that splashed around, they were both monks in the foundation building period after all, and Li Xuangang even had the cultivation in the late stage of foundation building.
Therefore, after the initial period of surprise, they gradually adapted to that way of fighting, and gradually mastered the situation of the battle, killing some of them by various means.
But just as they were about to completely eliminate those half-fish and half-snake demon beasts in one go, three monsters of the same type with an even larger body suddenly appeared from the Dark River.
One head is a third-order upper grade, and two ends are a third-order lower grade!
Without hesitation, an even more intense battle unfolded in that subterranean space.
The fight lasted for several hours, shattering the rock walls on both sides of the river, revealing the original black crystal ore hidden inside.
And Li Xuangang and Li Xuanyu, who participated in the battle, were both slightly injured, and the pale green blood belonging to those strange monsters was even more splattered on the ground.
Flying stones are everywhere, and the breath is disordered.
The light of all kinds of spells and talismans continued to light up in the depths of the earth.
In the end, with Li Xuangang's powerful physique cultivation and Li Xuanyu's endless talisman attacks, the two of them still strangled most of the demon beasts.
Towards the end of the battle, there were only a few dozen demon beasts left in front of them, among which there was the third-order upper grade, and one third-order lower grade, as for the others, they were all second-order cultivators.
And they all have some injuries on their bodies.
After another confrontation, the two sides temporarily separated and began to confront each other.
And the demon beast with the highest cultivation as the leader looked at the same kind on the left and right, and then turned his head to stare at Li Xuangang, who was becoming more and more brave on the opposite side.
Seeing that the situation was wrong, he realized that the strength of the human monk in front of him was too profound, so he had the idea of retreating.
According to Li Xuangang's description of the time, it was the third-order high-grade demon beast that made a false move after the battle started again, driving another third-order low-grade fellow to lure him away from the battlefield slightly.
and used the rest of the second-order kind to entangle Li Xuanyu.
But it simply turned its head, trying to escape into the dark river.
At that time, Li Xuangang, who had performed the Qingling Transformation Demon Skill, saw this scene not far away, and instinctively felt that something was wrong, he hurriedly used the black sharp spear to force away the body of the third-order lower-grade demon beast, and then flew towards the dark river.
But he was still a little slower, it turned out that when the third-order high-grade demon beast was about to escape, Li Xuanyu, who was closest to it, discovered its "intention".
Since the latter was very aware of the significance of those Nether Flowers and the Black Quartz Mine in this underground space to his family, the family would definitely send someone to take over in the later stage.
If such a third-order high-grade demon beast escaped today, it would undoubtedly be a very dangerous potential threat to the clansmen sent here by the later family.
Therefore, the moment he saw that demon beast wanted to escape, Li Xuanyu thought clearly about the pros and cons in his heart.
He decisively activated a second-order high-grade attack talisman, and used this to get rid of the surrounding second-order demon beasts, and before those second-order demon beasts had time to react, he used a retreat technique, and his body went straight towards the third-order high-grade demon beast.
Li Xuanyu thought at that time that he only needed to hold the other party for a while, and when the Ninth Brother killed another third-order demon beast and freed his hand, he could completely leave it here and cut off all its vitality.
Although Li Xuanyu has only entered the foundation building realm not long ago, as a second-order talisman master, his strength is not weak, although compared to the third-order high-grade demon beasts, there is still a big gap, but according to the situation that the other party wanted to escape immediately, there is still no problem for him to go up and entangle for a while, at most, there is only a little more injury on his body.
A new talisman lit up in Li Xuanyu's hand, and his attack weapon was already hanging in front of him.
Almost in the blink of an eye, his attack had arrived, and he had successfully entangled with the third-order high-grade demon beast.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred, and I saw that the demon beast moved its body quickly, dodging Li Xuanyu's first wave of attacks, and then quickly twisted and ran towards the body of the dark river, but it turned its head and attacked directly towards Li Xuanyu.
Li Xuangang, who was still in a hurry at the time, immediately understood when he saw this.
That third-order high-grade demon beast actually cheated, it didn't think about escaping at all before, but wanted to sacrifice another third-order low-grade fellow in exchange for a chance to kill Li Xuanyu.
"Xuanyu, be careful!"
Li Xuangang's reminder was obviously too late, in the face of the charged blow of the cunning demon beast, Li Xuanyu couldn't react, and at the moment when the other party hit with his mouth open, he was even sluggish for two or three breaths.
It wasn't until the reminder of the ninth brother Li Xuangang exploded in his ears that he regained consciousness and held the magic weapon in his hand in front of him to block it.
But whether it was Li Xuangang, who had not yet arrived, or Li Xuanyu himself, they all knew that this move was meaningless.
They all knew the combat strength of that third-order high-grade demon beast, and under such a powerful blow, Li Xuanyu would definitely die!
......
There was a hint of cunning in his eyes, although this demon beast was a little surprised that Li Xuangang had gotten rid of his third-order kind in the first place, but it still succeeded.
It was sure that it would kill the person in front of it before the terrifying human monk arrived, and it would be able to dive into the dark river again and successfully escape.
The third-order low-grade demon beast behind him was still pursuing, and Li Xuangang knew that if he couldn't make the most correct choice at this moment, the twelfth brother would definitely fall here.
Therefore, he made a move that the third-order high-grade demon beast did not expect.
I saw that Li Xuangang suddenly stopped his figure, and then urged the Qingling Demon Skill to the extreme, until the whole person was covered by a layer of pale cyan scale armor, and the flesh and blood power that erupted from his body was comparable to some third-order demon beasts with strong bodies at that moment.
Raising the black evil spear in his hand, ignoring the attack of the third-order inferior demon beast behind him, Li Xuangang used all the strength of his body to throw the black evil spear.
So the next moment, just as the huge mouth of the blood basin was about to bite off Li Xuanyu's waist, a black streamer with countless roaring sounds pierced the air.
The black spear crossed the distance between the two almost instantly, directly piercing the body of the third-order high-grade demon beast in the air, and the powerful force attached to the spear body even "hit" the latter's huge body a little offset.
When the Black Demon Spear pierced through the flesh and nailed to the rock wall on the other side, the attack of the third-order high-grade demon beast finally failed.
But Li Xuanyu, who had escaped from death, didn't have time to rejoice, and then the demon beast with a sideways body squirted out a black slime from its mouth.
And this time, there was no new black spear to stop it, and this sharp arrow formed by black slime with a terrifying aura struck Li Xuanyu's right abdomen firmly.
The next moment, when Li Xuangang arrived carrying the third-order low-grade demon beast that was biting his shoulder, Li Xuanyu, who had been hit hard, had already fallen from the sky.
The body smashed down on the edge of the dark river, and a human-shaped pit appeared in the soft riverbed formed by white fine sand in an instant.
Because the black slime was highly poisonous, Li Xuanyu quickly lost consciousness after landing on the ground.
In the short time that he closed his eyes, he only saw a cloud of cyan light and shadow, and followed the third-order demon beast that wanted to escape again into the dark river.
What happened after that, Li Xuanyu didn't know.
By the time he regained consciousness again, he was already lying on top of the Moqing Flying Boat, not far from the family's Taiqiu Mountain.
.......
.......
At the top of Taiqiu Mountain, Li Changji and Li Xuangang sat down on both sides of the stone table again.
The latter spoke:
"That third-order high-grade demon beast was killed by me, but the remaining third-order low-grade and some other second-order ones were not kept, according to my guess, they should still be in the depths of that dark river. ”
In that moment, fortunately, Xuan Yu decisively activated the attack magic weapon in his hand, and with the help of the qi wave that erupted from the magic weapon, he moved his body sideways a little, avoiding the vital point, otherwise I am afraid that he would not be able to hold on and return to the family. ”
Li Changji nodded, knowing that although Li Xuangang was thrilling enough, the situation at that time must have been even worse than what he said.
And the latter always talked about Li Xuanyu's encounter, but he didn't mention the battle in the dark river at the end, just a word.
But Li Changji knew that he had to carry the damage of a third-order low-grade demon beast, and then fight another third-order high-grade demon beast in the dim dark river, and successfully killed it.
To complete the final result, Li Xuangang must not be as unharmed as he did not mention himself, and he must still have suffered some injuries.
Moreover, in order to save Li Xuanyu's life, the process of this fight and killing had to be very short, and it had to be completed before those second-order demon beasts launched an attack on the unconscious Li Xuanyu again.
Presumably, that time was extremely difficult for Li Xuangang, and he must have paid some price!
But since the latter didn't want to say it, Li Changji didn't ask, just continued to nod, and then opened his mouth to ask about Li Xuanyu's specific situation now.
"The twelfth brother is no longer in serious trouble, and there is no big problem with the next task to be performed, not to mention that the fourth uncle has already been released. ”
took over the family's affairs again, and all matters have been handled by Li Xuangang.
Therefore, in the next short period of time, Li Changji does not have to worry too much.
Taking advantage of the still bright daylight at noon, he asked Li Xuangang about the last arrangement he had made before giving up his identity as the head elder of the family.
"Regarding the matter of that underground space, what are your plans, Xuan Gang?"
