The islands began to sink into a fog again, and the number of visible islands continued to decrease. Liu Qingyan and the others stood aside, seeing that Cheng Ling's face was getting more and more ugly, they didn't dare to disturb, just waited quietly.

After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't think of a reason, so I could only try to enter it again, and maybe I could find clues in the island.

Cheng Ling no longer hesitated, his hands connected the dots, and the eight array flags slowly rose, and finally lined up in the shape of a gossip. He flicked his fingers repeatedly, and one after another array flags were inserted into the formation light mask, and soon formed a gossip pattern.

After the pattern was formed, the formation light mask seemed to have received a strong impact and trembled violently. Soon, in the center of the pattern, a black hole was revealed, which was a newly opened passage. The channel opened this time is wider and more stable than before.

"Enter!"

With a low shout, the crowd slipped into the passage. After the sword hero who was guarding the last disappeared into the passage, Cheng Ling put away the formation flag and also got into it.

After entering the passage, I found that all around were hazy bubbles, and the scenes inside those bubbles were ever-changing, as if there were many spaces. It's a pity that the passage time is limited, otherwise he would really want to stop and meditate.

The speed of several people was very fast, and before the tea time, they all drilled out of the exit of the passage. When I stepped on the ground with my feet on the ground and opened my eyes, I was stunned by what I saw.

It looks like a valley in front of you, surrounded by towering cliffs. In the middle of the cliff, there is a circle of fairy and illusory mist, and it is difficult to see the truth. The aura in the valley is very strong, and it is not at all below the concentration of aura in the cave of the Black Mist Forest.

It makes people feel that between breaths, cultivation is rising. Directly in front of it, there is a lake, about the size of a thousand feet. There is a thick layer of ice on the surface of the lake, and a trace of steaming white gas comes out of the ice surface, making people feel like they are in a fairyland.

Directly opposite the lake, towering giant trees stand tall, and in the gaps of the giant trees, many spiritual plants and spiritual fruits are planted.

"Glazed Snow Lotus, Cold Ice Grass, Snow Lingzhi, Cold Ice Grass, Thousand Leaf Ginseng, Wisteria Flower...... , Oh my God, there are still cold ice pear trees and colorful moon blue, it's really shocking, these spirit plants and spirit fruits are extremely rare, and this time they are really developed. ”

Everyone was completely shocked by the scene in front of them, so many spiritual objects, how much help should they have for cultivation? None of them were calm, and they couldn't wait to rush up to pick them immediately, especially Liu Qingyan, who had the best flower and grass rings, and he could transplant these spiritual objects into it.

But before they could step forward to make a move, they were stopped by Cheng Ling. He looked around cautiously and said, "Don't you think it's too quiet here?

In his mind, he instantly flashed back to the time when he met the Dragon King in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. The scene in front of me is like a fairy, but it is too quiet, and it is certainly not as simple as it seems. Back then, in the Hulu Valley, and even the territory where Yanhu was located, it was calm at first.

Everyone's hearts sank, and they all calmed down. Only Liu Qingyan, staring closely at the glazed snow lotus on the lake and the cold pear tree in the distance, his eyes were full of longing.

These two spiritual plants are very rare, especially the glazed snow lotus, and the conditions for growth are extremely harsh. It must not live in a place that is too cold or too hot, and it must be kept at a constant temperature. Looking at the shape of the snow lotus, there is a layer of ice crystals on the branches and leaves, which is enough for 10,000 years. It is of great help to the soul and cultivation of the monks.

Looking at the Cold Ice Pear Tree again, the fruit it produces has the origin energy of the ice system, which is of great help to the monks of the two spiritual roots of the ice and water system. Not only can it purify the spiritual root, but it can also improve the purity of a single spiritual root, and long-term consumption can raise the single spiritual root to the limit.

If there is such a pear tree in the Wuxiang Sword Sect, you can imagine how great the benefits are. As for the other kinds of spirits

It is of great help to improve cultivation and increase understanding.

But Cheng Ling stood in front of them, not daring to act rashly, she could only suppress the throbbing in her heart, stopped, and asked, "What did you find?"

"Uncle Shi, wait a while, I'll observe first!"

His eyes were like gods, and his eyes flashed with mysterious lines, sweeping from the surrounding cliffs, to the lake, to the forest opposite. In the end, his face gradually became solemn, and he said: "There is a phantom array here, don't act rashly first, and then enter after I crack it." ”

With that, he sat down cross-legged and began to deduce.

Everyone was anxious, but they didn't dare to act rashly, so they could only stand beside them and wait patiently.

After more than an hour, he stood up and played hundreds of hand-to-hand duels with both hands, and gradually, a transparent light mask appeared in front of their eyes. The light shield was so large that it enveloped almost the entire valley.

His hands stopped, and Cheng Ling said: "Okay, the phantom array has appeared, everyone follow me in, be careful, I don't know what's inside?"

Everyone nodded silently, tightened their swords tightly, and waited for him to act.

Cheng Ling took out the Dragon Yin Sword and walked towards the light mask first, as soon as it came into contact, the light mask rippled, and the whole person disappeared into it. The crowd followed, and one by one they entered the mask.

Once inside, they found themselves standing on the ice of the lake. There was a chill from the bottom of the feet, only Liu Qingyan, Gu Youlan, Bai Yiyi and Xiyan were the four people, their faces remained the same, but there was a feeling of comfort.

The dead have two ice systems and two water systems, and such a place is like a fish in water.

On the surface of the lake, everyone gradually saw clearly, and every other distance, there was a hole, revealing the lake below. Looking at the holes, they seemed to be arranged in an orderly manner, and they were a bit of a yes or a no.

Cheng Ling walked forward cautiously, keeping a certain distance from the hole. If you don't understand, it's better to be cautious.

But just as he got to the edge of the first hole, something changed. The ice under his feet trembled, and the water in the hole bubbled up one after another, and it felt like it was boiling, and it seemed like some creature was about to rush out of the lake.

"Watch out for the lake, everyone!"

As soon as the words fell, an aqua-blue monster appeared from the hole they had passed. The monster was more than a foot tall, and its body was made up of water, and the water was still flowing, which looked very strange.

When it saw the crowd, it rushed over, two thick liquid arms open and closed inward. Jian Yinghao and Bai Yiyi were the closest to the water monster, and when they saw its two arms surrounded it, its two big palms together, they were about to slap them inside.

They didn't dare to be easily touched by the water monster, and as soon as the long sword moved, two sword qi shot out, and with two sounds, they cut off half of the two arms that had circled over.

But it didn't take long for the liquid on the monster's body to flow, and the severed arm was quickly restored. Jian Yinghao's face sank, and he moved in front of it, and the long sword slashed continuously. The body of the water monster was constantly slashed by the long sword, and pieces of liquid shot out, and the whole body was slowly getting smaller, and the two arms could no longer surround the two of them.

Bai Yiyi seized the opportunity, and the long sword in his hand drew two circles of light, and the two arms of the water monster were completely separated, and his body was reduced by one circle again. The two found a way, and even more did not relax, cutting off the body of the water monster with a sword.

Soon, the monster was only the size of a baby, but the severed pieces of water did not disappear, but turned into a stream of water and slowly flowed back into the lake.

After nearly a quarter of an hour, the water monster was completely wiped out by the two of them, and its entire body completely turned into water and disappeared into the lake.

Cheng Ling has been observing their battle, and the combat power of the water monster is not strong, any of them can be

to beat. But its vitality is extremely strong, and with the strength of two people, it takes so long to attack it before it can be killed.

He swept the dense holes in front of him, and a bad feeling rose in his heart. If those holes can rush out of the water monster, there are so many of them. It seems that we must not move forward quickly, but can only solve them one by one.

"In these holes in front of us, there are likely to be water monsters popping up, wait a while, let's move forward slowly, don't rush deeper. As long as there are not many water monsters rushing out at once, you should be able to pass through safely. ”

"But it's too slow to kill one by one!"

"No way, this place is very mysterious, we still have to be careful. I don't know how these water monsters are formed, so it's better to be cautious before we find out the details. If it's too slow, everyone can attack together!"

Everyone nodded, and in the case of avoiding a large number of water monster attacks, it was the only way.

They followed Cheng Ling and slowly walked towards the location of the second hole.

Sure enough, just as he was walking parallel to the second hole, another water monster rushed out of the hole. Everyone stepped forward to attack, but only Cheng Ling did not make a move, carefully observing the situation of the battle.

Eight people worked together, and the speed of killing increased exponentially, and the second water monster was killed in less than half a cup of tea.

They continued on their way. After killing more than a dozen water monsters all the way, Jian Yinghao spoke and said, "Brother Cheng, I feel that by killing these water monsters, my comprehension of water swordsmanship in my mind has improved a lot. ”

Bai Yiyi interjected: "Me too, a long time ago, my Xuanwu sword was complete, but after killing these water monsters, I feel that it can be improved, and there are many details of the water system swordsmanship that are becoming clearer." ”

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

“......”

Everyone spoke one by one, only Liu Qingyan, Gu Youlan, and Xiyan did not say a word.

Cheng Ling glanced at them and asked Liu Qingyan, "Uncle Shi, how do you feel?"

Liu Qingyan closed his eyes, quietly realized, and after a while, he opened his eyes and said: "At the beginning, I also felt that my comprehension of water spells had improved a little, but the ones I killed later didn't have that feeling." ”

Cheng Ling turned to Gu Youlan and Xiyan again, and asked, "What about you?"

Gu Youlan shook her head slowly, meaning that she didn't feel anything. Xi Yan said: "I feel similar to the master, but I didn't feel improved until the last water monster." ”

Cheng Ling was silent, thinking hard in his mind, what is the purpose of these water monsters? According to the experience of the year, there are only demon beasts in the island, and there are some disgusting creatures that do not know the unknown, could it be that the water monster is also one of the creatures?

He searched hard, trying to get a clue from the strange things of heaven and earth recorded in the golden pages. After a long time, a familiar pattern came to mind. The depiction depicts a humanoid creature with fluid flowing all over its body, much the same as the water monster.

There are a few lines of small characters next to the pattern, look carefully, and see that it is written: The water spirit, the essence of the five elements of heaven and earth, is born from the place where the source of water is sufficient, and it is the supplement of the source of water in the five elements!

The way of heaven is ruthless, and all things are regarded as dogs! However, the way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more than is lost, and there are things that are mixed, and they are born in nature. Nurture the essence with the origin of the five elements of heaven and earth, light, darkness, space, and time, make up for the deficiencies of the Heavenly Dao, become a chaotic body, and return to the origin!

The meaning of this passage is, to put it bluntly, that the way of heaven is ruthless, and everything in the world is the same. But the way of heaven also gives sentient beings a ray of life, since the birth of heaven and earth, there are some chaotic species, with the five elements, light, darkness, space, time and other origins of the birth.

The purpose is to make up for the various spiritual root attributes that sentient beings lack, and to achieve the body of the origin of chaos. And the water monster in front of him is the water spirit that replenishes the spiritual root of the water system among the five elements!
