Volume II: Chapter 245: Crisis
The battle broke out in the treetops in an instant, and Ye Lin's palm was covered with a layer of terrifying Lin armor, heading towards Feng Zhi's shoulder.
"Huh...... Young people are impulsive in the end. The old man's body disappeared strangely, his voice was extremely desolate and ethereal, and he said: "You can not be discovered by the demon clan, you can be regarded as having some skills, if not, how about we join forces?"
"Join forces?" Ye Lin sneered, pushed Feng Zhi aside, and shouted in a deep voice: "The person who hides his head and tail is also worthy of talking to me about this?"
After a while, Feng Zhi's eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief.
On a leaf in front of him, the old man was lying on it leisurely, smiling at him, "Even if the old man didn't deliberately hide it, he shouldn't be discovered so easily." ”
The old man's body grew in the wind, looked at Feng Zhi carefully, and was surprised: "It's weird, with such a physique, some people are willing to use it to die." ”
"What do you mean by this?" Feng Zhi frowned and asked, he and his senior brother and master had always lived on a remote island, and they had never known what kind of mysterious physique they had.
The old man glanced at Ye Lin with his spare eyes, and then smiled lightly: "Don't be so careful, there are not many human races that can survive in this place, and each of you is extremely rare, even if you don't cooperate with the old man, I won't do anything superfluous." ”
Ye Lin's expression moved slightly, and he asked: "There are ancient books in the Demon Cave, which record that the sect has a terrifying purgatory, and there are many opponents with unimaginable strength guarding it. ”
Saying that, Ye Lin quietly took a few steps back and said, "Senior, do you know where this place is?"
"Aren't you in it?" the old man stretched out his hand and tightened his shirt, and said: "But the magic cave's handwriting this time really shocked the old man a little, you can see that kind of top-secret thing, it must be of a very high status, why do you want to come in and take risks?"
Without waiting for Ye Lin to answer, the old man said to himself: "Yes, eight hundred years have passed, and it is the harvest season again. ”
He frowned from time to time, and looked at Ye Lin carefully for a while before shaking his head and said, "Impossible, a junior like you has almost no chance of success if you do that kind of thing." ”
The old man pondered for a long time, but in the end he couldn't understand it, raised his head and looked at Ye Lin fixedly, and asked, "You can come in with a master this time." ”
Ye Lin's face changed slightly, and he glanced at Feng Zhi, who was interested in temporarily sealing his spiritual sense.
"Sure enough, I came with a heavy responsibility. The old man's heart jumped, and there was a bit of awe in his eyes when he looked at the young man in front of him.
"The master once passed on a will to me, which can only be opened at the moment of life and death. Ye Lin's mind turned extremely fast, and he said this with a solemn expression, giving people a feeling of being extremely reliable.
In fact, he Ye Lin was just an outcast, and he was thrown here by the high-level of the Demon Cave to die.
"Stop...... The rest of the stuff is not something I can listen to. The old man's face was not a little light, he stopped Ye Lin's movements, glanced at him with a complicated expression, and said, "I see your breath floating, it seems to be breaking through the edge, but what can an old man do." ”
Ye Lin smiled brightly and tore off his shirt, revealing the dense scales on his skin.
"This is ......." The old man was like a lightning strike, and after his eyes lost concentration for a short time, he said in horror: "After so many years, has the demon cave really done that?"
"What's the matter?" Ye Lin asked, he was a human-dragon half-blood, but judging from the words of the old man in front of him, it seemed that many years ago, the Demon Cave was plotting something.
You know, according to the old man's previous words, it is not difficult to surmise that he has lived for at least 800 years, and it is even very likely that he is an old monster whose lifespan has crossed the 1,000-yuan mark.
On the path of cultivation, even those who are gifted and unimpeded all the way, after reaching a certain lifespan, will inevitably attract inexplicable disasters and will not be able to live peacefully.
The old man shook his head and asked Ye Lin what he needed, and after learning that they were just some demon beasts with a trace of dragon blood, his body suddenly disappeared in front of the two.
In the next three days, Feng Zhi was busy again, even several times busier than before.
This mysterious old man, with his supernatural body, was able to hide almost all the demon beasts, and spared no effort to help Ye Lin break through.
I'm afraid that the existence who ordered Ye Lin to be put into the Demon Sealing Platform didn't expect that the identity of the Demon Cave disciple would actually become Ye Lin's help.
On a wasteland deep in the forbidden land, the ground was flowing with bright red blood, blackening the soil, and the giant calf walking in the posture of a teenager put down the corpse of a demon beast, frowned, and looked into the distance of the extreme north.
"How can there be fluctuations in blood marks there?" the giant creature rubbed his eyebrows, he had been asleep for a long time, and he couldn't remember many things, and at this moment he was looking back at when he had been to the Northern Regions.
Except for Tan Lao, the four major town beasts, no matter how close they are, will not easily set foot in each other's territory, let alone leave their own unique mark there.
What worries the boy the most is that the timing of the fluctuation is too subtle, causing him to lose his soul for a short time, as if someone has robbed him of his mind.
An old figure appeared in his mind, and the young man's heart was bored, and the soles of his feet stepped down heavily, and the place where he stood was cracked.
"My lord, why are you so angry, but the blood and food here are not to your taste?" an old man came out of the ground, holding a cane made of unknown material in his hand, and bowed.
The white-bearded old man was a little uneasy at the moment, when the giant calf was asleep, he handed over the actual control of the territory to him, and only gave him the special order to nourish blood food, and now that there is a problem, the old man is naturally panicked.
His body is not a demon beast, but a spirit bred from the bloody earth, but because he is haunted by the resentment of this place, he is almost stereotyped, and there will be no progress in this life, only under the giant calf.
The young man was a little dazed, looked at the old man in front of him, and said lightly: "The taste is not bad, but the strength is a little worse, let the major races hand over some descendants with pure blood in the future and graze here." ”
Although the giant was in a bad mood, he didn't treat the old man well, and even spoke in a gentle tone compared to usual, which surprised him.
The old man respectfully said yes, and then melted into the earth, it is difficult for outsiders to imagine that in this territory, he has the ability that no giant kin has, and can come anywhere with a single thought.
At this moment, the old man went to all the tribes to preach the news, and deliberately changed the wording of the 'holy decree' by one or two, and personally named the people who had been unabashed with his mouth, which made the patriarchs of all the tribes turn green.
Without time to take care of the old man's actions, the giant dragon flew into the sky and hurried to the place where the blood mark fluctuated, always with a little uneasiness in his heart.
In the bronze palace, Ape Shi looked at Chen Sheng's alchemy, his face gradually darkened, and said, "Teacher, do you really think he can succeed?"
The old man who occupied Lin Ku's body smiled and replied, "What difference can or can't I make, I've arrived at this step of the field, can't I gamble yet?"
Ape Shi's expression was gloomy, and he blamed himself in his heart, after the death of his body, he could clearly feel the weakness of the old man, but he couldn't set off to find the elixir that nourished the soul, and he didn't even dare to show any abnormalities, so he could only be the head of the ape clan conscientiously.
"It's all because of Xue Mei's slut!" Ape Stone gritted his teeth, and his face was a little distorted.
The old man frowned, turned around, his gaze turned into the most powerful divine sword, piercing the deepest part of the ape stone's heart, and said, "Do you really think that Xue Mei can do it with a few people?"
Ape Shi's heart shook slightly, and he said in a trembling voice: "The teacher is saying...... There are even more terrifying people in the shadows?"
Nodding, the old man said lightly: "Don't say that you have to be careful all these years, even the old man has to be cautious, otherwise you don't have to consume that blood essence on the way to the demon land." ”
Ape Shi held the dust-thin spar in his hand, and said ashamedly: "It's the disciple who is useless, and he doesn't even have this ability after practicing for many years." ”
"It doesn't matter, if I fail to be reborn this time, I will leave the inheritance to you, and the remaining things in my soul are enough to cultivate to an extremely high level. The old man's tone was pathetic, as if he didn't have much hope for what was to come.
For the teacher's almost last words, Ape Stone chose to be silent, clutching the object in his arms, he did not want and would not let things fall to that point, it was really an emergency, he did not hesitate to sacrifice something cherished, but also let the teacher live.
Suddenly, there was a loud "boom" in his ears, and following the sound, both of them changed color, and the Danding in front of Chen Sheng had already exploded, and metal fragments flew out, and many rushed towards Chen Sheng.
"Save people!" The old man drank lightly, ignoring his own consumption, and stepped in front of Chen Sheng, wanting to impact the fragments of Danding at the moment.
saw Chen Sheng's eyes bright, and he was holding a Qiankun bag on his chest, which was the liquid medicine he rescued at a critical moment.
"There are seniors. Chen Sheng said lightly, slowly put the medicinal liquid one by one, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and then took out the ancient bronze tripod, which is very compatible with this place.
The old man persuaded softly, "Why don't you breathe for a while first, and recover from your injuries." ”
With such a close Danding explosion, there is absolutely no possibility for the person refining the medicine to retreat with his whole body, not to mention that the consumption of the divine consciousness level in it will definitely be more serious than the physical injury.
Chen Sheng smiled and shook his head, his eyes were bright and bright, this time the failure of refining the pill made Chen Sheng see a glimmer of opportunity, maybe it would help the refining of the pill.
The old man who instantly sensed that Chen Sheng had fallen into some kind of mysterious realm, and while retreating, he couldn't help but sigh lightly, if he met Chen Sheng in the morning before the ape stone, maybe he might really be impressed by his talent and make an exception to accept him as a disciple.
As soon as this kind of thought was generated, it was like a demon in the heart deeply rooted and grew rapidly, and the old man retreated to the ape's side and praised it from the bottom of his heart: "There is a special artistic conception in this son, and if you feel it deeply, it will be of great benefit." ”
Ape Shi nodded, he also noticed Chen Sheng's extraordinary, but he was a little worried: "Brother Chen is almost out of oil now, can he really hold on until the pill is refined?"
"It's okay, even if you can't practice, you have the patience to wait for the teacher. ”
Hearing this, Ape Shi turned his head in some surprise, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, and when his gaze turned back to Chen Sheng, Ape Shi's eyes became ancient and calm.
This time, the refining of the pill was exceptionally smooth, and the fusion of all the medicinal power was almost completed in an instant, and they came straight to the final stage of receiving the medicine, and both of them could clearly see that in the bronze tripod, a golden pill was slowly formed.
The smell of medicine was fragrant, forcing back a lot of the sticky smell of blood here.
There was a strange brilliance in the ape's eyes, and he looked at the golden pill with great anticipation.
At this moment, the old man's face changed, and he muttered to himself, "Shouldn't he find this place?"
"Who?" Ape Stone went into cardiac arrest for a moment, not thinking that there would be a complication at such a time.
The old man smiled and projected what he had seen in front of the apestone.
Outside the Demon Land, the giant dragon stood there, his face wandering, as if he was considering whether to venture in, the space in front of him seemed to be calm, but in fact, it gave him a very heavy sense of threat.
Now they are all half-step gods, and their strength is almost the pinnacle of the entire forbidden land, but only under that adult, they have this feeling, which shows the extraordinary and weird nature of this place.
"That old ghost appeared without roots and no source, did it come out of here?" the giant creature said to himself, after killing the old man back then, several of them had visited all the demon beasts of the same generation, and they didn't know where such a terrifying person came from, only that it was in the Northern Regions.
Ape Shi stared at the figure in the mirror, his eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll stop him!"
"If you go, won't you tell the teacher to hide here?" the old man teased, jokingly, "Maybe that kid will suffer some hardships and leave by himself." ”
Naturally, Ape Stone would not place this kind of hope, and the stone knife appeared in his hand, and he wanted to go to the outside of the Bronze Hall to guard, at least to delay the teacher's rebirth.
The old man didn't stop him, but he said with a smile: "This palace of ancient gods and demons, without the permission of the master, even the god transformation monk can't break in, if you want to go and see the door, just go." ”
After speaking, he looked at his disciple narrowly, full of playfulness.
"Teacher, you ......" Ape Stone's mouth grew and he couldn't speak.
After the two were silent for a long time, the old man said lightly: "Okay, put away your careful thoughts, don't think about it anymore, you have missed many opportunities." ”
The old man looked up and sighed, laughing at himself: "If in the end, I can't come back to life, then I deserve this kid's bad luck." ”
Ape Shi's heart froze, how could the teacher's words become more and more like his last words.
It can be said that the only thing that can affect the old man's mood is the Dan furnace that emits the fragrance of medicine, and Chen Sheng, who is already sitting in front of the Ding, the former is related to his own life, and the latter is a young man who can make him treat him differently.
At this moment, in his sight, Chen Sheng is no longer an old man, but a peerless young man, but fifteen or sixteen years old, the calm and calm between his eyebrows is moving.
To be able to cultivate to the realm of transforming gods, the old man knows that the mind is more important than talent, and after reaching a certain stage, whether it is a human race or a demon beast, he will come into contact with a mysterious realm, touching the avenue of heaven and earth.
At that time, the difference that the latter can bring will not be too big, and it may sometimes be overtaken by people whose talents are far inferior to their own, just because of his lack of mind.
The pill in the furnace was completely formed, the corners of Chen Sheng's mouth pulled a trace of arc, the palm seal knot changed suddenly, and the flame in the furnace became extremely vigorous, and its firepower was so strong that it felt as if the pill was about to be refined into ashes.
Ape Shi's expression changed drastically, and he was about to rush forward to stop it, but was suppressed by the old man with great strength, but the old man did not open his mouth to explain, and he was not only why Chen Sheng was like this, but out of a pure trust.
The ape struggled and roared, his eyes splitting as he watched the flames rise from the furnace.
"It's a good time!" Chen Sheng's eyes shot out a divine light, and he drank lightly: "My guess is really good, this kind of underworld is really evil, and he wants to covet the magic medicine." ”
As the flames scorched, a terrifying face appeared on the surface of the elixir, and an extremely poignant whisper came out of his mouth, Chen Sheng knew that this was the curse of the resentful soul, and he was dying.
Biting the tip of his tongue, Chen Sheng squirted a mouthful of essence blood into the Dan furnace, and the shot was ruthless, as soon as the flame touched the blood, it was as if it had received a great help, turning into a Dao rune and imprinting it on the pill.
"What a clever handwriting. Rao is old man couldn't help but sigh, he had seen a lot of human races, and he had also obtained many fragments of ancient books, which recorded a lot of talisman techniques, and the old man couldn't see through the fur after studying for many years.
Looking at Chen Sheng's divine light, the old man's expression changed from a light sigh to horror, with the power of his divine sense, he couldn't see clearly, and he couldn't keep up with the trend of the runes.
In the end, the old man gave up completely and quietly waited for the battle in the Dan furnace to end.
There was blood dripping from the corners of Chen Sheng's mouth, the failure of alchemy before was not a problem with his technique, but was secretly calculated by something hidden in the shadows, and the medicinal power of refining made a wedding dress for people, if it wasn't for Chen Sheng's timely reaction and the removal of the pill, the momentum of that explosion would be absolutely terrifying.
However, this action also made the secret existence angry, unable to rob the full medicinal power, this time entering the Dan Furnace and refining itself into the Dan Medicine.
"Break!" Chen Sheng drank lightly, and the bronze tripod in front of him turned into powder, leaving only a cloud-patterned elixir.
Holding it in his hand, Chen Sheng turned around and said a little weakly: "The quality of this pill is not perfect, if the seniors are willing to wait, I will rest for a while." ”
Before he finished speaking, the old man had already stepped forward with a laugh, took the elixir, and said: "Your kid is not lightly injured, playing with such an old monster, the mind is extremely draining, it is already excellent to be able to do this level, and if you are forced to refine the medicine, isn't the old man killing people?"
Chen Sheng was silent, keenly aware of the strangeness of the master and apprentice, he sighed, said the method of taking the pill, and sat cross-legged on the side.
This alchemy is almost the most dangerous one since Chen Sheng went to sea, this bronze palace is simply the magic land of the devil's land, raising a demon above the god.
Fortunately, it was only the power of the divine soul, coupled with the elixir that the demon coveted Chen Sheng, that he was imprisoned and refined with a secret rune, and the last bit of spiritual light was sealed in the pill, so Chen Sheng said that the quality of the refined elixir was not good.
Chen Sheng felt that the old man saw some clues, and his heart couldn't help but be clouded, and it was hard to imagine what kind of fire would collide between the two.
However, at this moment, Chen Sheng had no time to take care of these at all, so he had to sink into his mind, as the old man said, his body was extremely chaotic, especially the sea of divine consciousness was turbulent, and it was extremely uncalm.
Playing against the divine consciousness of the existence above the gods, Chen Sheng took advantage of the divine pattern to win a small victory, and the result was that the elixir was polluted, although it did not affect the medicinal power, it was difficult for ordinary people to bear it.
Lin Ku was released to freedom by the old man, and left some insights, let him follow Chen Sheng to take care of him, the old man wrapped his body alone and went to the depths of the palace, and he didn't even follow the ape stone.
Ape Stone stared at the water mirror left by the old man, and the giant dragon in it finally moved, pinching a trace of blood light from his fingertips, breaking into the realm of the demon land.
Compared with the difficulty of Chen Sheng and his entourage, the young man can be said to be taking a leisurely walk, and when he reaches his realm, ordinary foreign objects dare not approach at all, and the existence that shot at Chen Sheng and the others before is hiding dozens of zhang away, trembling.
Ape Shi's heart sank, the last thing he wanted was to come, and now the teacher got the elixir, and he was about to be reborn, but at this juncture, there was a great enemy of life and death.
Soon the ape stone noticed something unusual, and the route taken by the giant calf seemed to be different from the one they had taken, pointing to another place.
"Who is doing things in the dark?" the young man frowned, he also sensed that something was wrong, the blood light on his fingertips was annihilated, he silently sensed it, found a position, and made a bold move.
The substantial space in front of him instantly cracked into countless textures, and under the attack of the giant dragon, it became fragments, falling all over the ground, and his fingers touched the wall in front of him, and the young man found that he could not penetrate it with his divine sense.
You must know that the reason why Jindan and Zhuji are like the difference between heaven and earth is because the spiritual consciousness is transformed into divine consciousness, and it can have many unimaginable powers, but now it is suppressed here, and it is impossible to reach too far.
Moreover, the surrounding space seems to have a tendency to converge towards the middle, and the broken place is also healing.
The giant sneered, revealing its body to stretch the entire space open, and then used the gap as a breakthrough point to go in the direction of the distant call.
Ape Shi's expression changed slightly, because from the direction, the young man's target was the Bronze Palace, Ape Shi frowned and said to himself: "Could it be that there is something here that attracts him?"
As soon as he blurted out the words, Ape Shi suddenly realized, rushed out, looked at the quiet corridor in front of him, and fell into deep thought, although he knew that it might be the giant beasts attracted by those bloodthirsty beasts, but he couldn't deal with it for a while.
This desperate sense of powerlessness once again completely engulfed the apestone.
Lin Ku cautiously approached and said, "Maybe Senior Chen will have a way." ”
Ape Shi's eyes flickered, obviously a little moved, with Chen Sheng's mysterious rune technique, he might not be able to destroy the bloodthirsty beasts, but it was still possible to lay out the formation to hide his breath.
After walking a few steps, Ape Shi stopped again, shook his head and said, "No, Brother Chen has just experienced a big battle, and the consumption must be extremely great, so it is too dangerous to let him make a move at this moment." ”
When the two returned to the water mirror, they both breathed a sigh of relief, the magic land was worthy of being a forbidden place of life, and Rao was a great power like a giant dragon, and they couldn't rush too far at once, and they were blocked by mysterious power.
Looking at it intently, a figure wrapped in black mist, holding a black sword, pointed at the heart of the giant dragon.
"Is that you?" said the giant creature as it shrunk into a human form, frowning, "I know this is your territory, but there's a blood mark there, and I need to take it back." ”
His cultivation method is similar to that of mortal blood cultivation, the power comes from the surging blood qi in the body, and letting the blood mark after the sacrifice is lost outside, it is undoubtedly self-destructive strength, and it is just that he has not noticed it before, but now that he has found it, he must take it back no matter what.
The black mist was silent, but just removed the blade of the sword and continued to point at the heart of the giant dragon.
