Chapter 265: Vine Ghost (Pray for Wuhan, Pray for Hometown)
After resting for a day, the five of them continued on their way, and then they had to cross two dangerous terrains to reach the deep valley of the crocodile.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this dangerous place in front of you is the deep grassland, all kinds of aquatic plants are all over it, and there are some strange but powerful water demons in it, and the most powerful is a demon beast called the vine ghost."
"The vine ghost is a strange monster beast with a wood attribute that grows in the water, and its body is dark cyan and shaped like a vine. This demon is called Fuji Oni because it acts like a ghost, drifting in the water, and it is difficult to find a trace. ”
"Although the vine ghost is a sixth-level demon beast, its own strength is not strong, and it also has obvious shortcomings - the soul is fragile. But the reason why Teng Ghost is the most difficult and powerful demon beast in the deep grassland is because it can control the aquatic plants within a hundred feet of its body to carry out various attacks and entanglements. ”
"When the monk encounters the Teng ghost, it seems to be in the endless water and grass, and in the end, many monks are hanged alive by the water and grass. Fuji Oni is very difficult to deal with, and is good at the art of wood escape, and is very flexible in both attacking and escaping, so it is difficult to catch it. ”
"The best way to encounter this demon here is to use a powerful attack to deter it at the beginning, and then retreat, otherwise once you are entangled by them, it will not only be difficult to move an inch in the deep grassland, but also worry about your life. ”
The people of Qingling Dao introduced in detail some information and existing dangers in the deep grassland dangerous land.
"I heard that the corpse of this vine ghost is a very rare excellent spiritual material for making a top-level magic weapon with a wood attribute, it is not as strong as a gold and earth attribute spiritual material, and it is even tougher, and it also comes with a certain ghost stealth effect, whether it is to make a wooden whip magic weapon or a shield magic weapon, etc. If I'm not mistaken, the green wood whip in the Dao Chief's hand is made from the corpse of a vine ghost as the main spiritual material. Zhang Yifan said to Qingling Daoren with a smile.
"I didn't expect Li Daoyou to know so much about refining, and it seems that he is also involved in it. The green wood whip of the poor road is indeed made of the corpse of the vine ghost as the main material. What's the matter, Li Daoyou wants to hunt this demon beast?"
"Well, that's one of the main purposes of entering this secret realm. If I encounter this demon beast, I hope you can help me hunt this beast, I have a way to deal with this beast, and I will compensate you with some spirit stones when the time comes. Zhang Yifan said in a sincere tone.
There is no opinion on this, as long as it is not too radical and risky.
Hunting vine ghosts is indeed what Zhang Yifan needs, and although the three-forged silver silk rope on his body is already a top-level magic weapon after his refinement, it will not play a great role in him now, so he is ready to refine a inheritance-level trapping enemy magic weapon by himself.
Combined with the comprehension in the flame silk flag, the Five Elements Trace Umbrella, and the one hundred and twenty-eight words of Heavenly Craftsmanship Supreme Mantra that he got from Wu Man, Zhang Yifan comprehended a magic weapon that was comparable to seventeen kinds of Heavenly Crafting magic weapons, which was completely created by himself.
Zhang Yifan is ready to enter this magic weapon into the Tiangong Secret Classic, this magic weapon is also fully in line with the conditions for entry in terms of power and refining techniques and efficacy, Zhang Yifan named it Tiangong Thousand Silk Banners.
The Tiangong Thousand Silk Banner uses five kinds of five elements attributes as the main spiritual materials, combined with the three dual-attribute treasures that Zhang Yifan obtained from Miyun Palace before to refine, and the corpse of the vine ghost is the main spiritual material of the wood attribute.
Every kind of spiritual material required by the Heavenly Thousand Silk Banner has reached the level of a magic weapon spiritual material, so although it is only a magic weapon level, Zhang Yifan has a hunch that this magic weapon will not be worse than an ordinary magic weapon, and the number of trapped enemies is definitely beyond imagination.
The Heavenly Thousand Silk Banners were one of Zhang Yifan's goals before advancing to the Jindan Stage, and it was also one of his confidence in fighting the Jindan Stage monks or demon beasts.
The refining method of this kind of magic weapon was only comprehended by him not long ago, and some places were not mature, and the success rate was definitely very low, so the more major spiritual materials involved, the better.
......
When everyone was ready, they entered the deep grassland.
The black and cyan aquatic plants wander at the bottom of the water, densely packed, and look a little terrifying. The number of demon beasts in the deep grassland is very small, and the demon beasts that appear here are all some demon beasts above the fourth level, and their individual strength is relatively strong, but with the cooperation of the five people, they have become demon beast spirit materials.
Along the way, Zhang Yifan turned on his divine sense and carefully probed the whereabouts of Teng Ghost.
Zhang Yifan has some understanding of the habits of the vine ghosts, and knows that the places where the vine ghosts have stayed will produce some strange landform features, and he can search relatively easily with his strong divine sense.
The speed of the crowd is not fast, because the road in the deep grassland is very tortuous, and it is easy to entangle a lot of water and grass if the speed is too fast, and at the same time, the guard against danger will be greatly weakened.
This had been verified by the water wolf when he was in danger, and his speed was so fast that he didn't notice any movement underground, otherwise he could have avoided the wolf's lair area in advance and wouldn't have fallen into the siege of the wolves.
The vine ghost was not found for a while, but with his powerful divine sense, Zhang Yifan discovered some potential dangers in the deep grassland in advance. However, he didn't hint at most of the dangers, and with the strength of the current five-person team, these dangers were naturally not too dangerous.
For some places that may be extremely dangerous, Zhang Yifan used the excuse of discovering some clues and led everyone to avoid in advance, but he would not be seen anything.
In the middle of the march, Zhang Yifan finally found a trace of a rattan ghost, and his spirit couldn't help but be shocked.
Zhang Yifan immediately searched for the place detected by his divine sense, and the other four immediately followed.
The place that Zhang Yifan detected was a long and narrow valley, only two or three zhang wide, which was not suitable for everyone to enter.
"Wait a moment, and then go down and investigate, and I'll call for help if you need it. Zhang Yifan said to the four of them.
"Hehe, with Li Daoyou's strength, there is naturally nothing to worry about, but that vine ghost is indeed a bit difficult, and this terrain is particularly conducive to it, Li Daoyou is still careful. Qingling Daoist kindly reminded.
Zhang Yifan nodded to indicate that he understood, and then sacrificed a peerless Xuanbi and a fiery golden spear and entered the valley.
According to his previous divine exploration, he found that the valley here was deep, more than twenty miles. Judging from some subtle traces, Zhang Yifan speculated that there were definitely more than one or two vine ghosts here.
Zhang Yifan, who was here alone, began to open the Flame Purple Eye, which was the means by which he had the confidence to search for Ghost Teng. The vine ghost is hidden very deeply, and it may not be able to be found quickly with his divine sense, and the deep valley has a great suppression of the exploration of the divine sense, and Zhang Yifan's divine sense can only be detected less than thirty miles away now.
With his fiery and purple-eyed supernatural powers, Zhang Yifan soon found the three vine ghosts hidden in a dense aquatic plant at the end of the valley.
He quickly rushed to the place where the vine ghost was hiding, took out a set of array flags from the storage bag to interfere with the detection and cover the tracks, and activated the arrangement around him, he didn't want his true supernatural powers to be exposed.
This set of array flags was purchased by him when he participated in the Miyun Dangerous Land Trial before, and it has been used until now, the effect is good, and it can even cover the detection of some Jindan monks at a long distance, and it is enough to use it here.
Zhang Yifan took out the Five Elements Trace Umbrella and began to slowly approach the three-headed vine ghost, at this time, the three-headed vine ghost had not yet discovered him, and his fiery eyes had already seen their location clearly.
When approaching the three-headed vine ghosts, Zhang Yifan's divine sense clearly sensed their state, and he did not have any vigilance at all.
The four wonderful lotuses in Zhang Yifan's mind spun rapidly, emitting a dazzling white light, filling his entire sea of consciousness, and then his mouth was like a bell, it was the newly comprehended Shock Mystic Technique.
Boom!
The three-headed Teng ghost suddenly froze in place and did not move, and three golden rays of light flew out, and the three-headed Teng ghost died immediately. Zhang Yifan killed these three demon beasts that would be very difficult to deal with head-on in an instant, without much effort.
Zhang Yifan couldn't help but sigh, when he grasped the enemy's weakness and had targeted means, it was indeed very easy to deal with it, whether it was for demon beasts or monks.
Of course, the prerequisite is that there are effective means of targeting the enemy's weaknesses and the ability to detect the enemy's weaknesses.
The three-headed Tenggui corpse was put into the storage bag, and then the array flag was put away, and Zhang Yifan returned satisfied.
Seeing that Zhang Yifan came back with less than a stick of incense, with a smile on his face, everyone was a little surprised.
"How is it, Li Daoyou, have you gained anything?" asked Qingling Daoren.
"Let you wait for a long time, and you have already obtained the Teng Ghost Spirit Material. Zhang Yifan did not say the specific number of Teng ghosts.
Only then did the four of them believe that Zhang Yifan's previous words really had a way to deal with vine ghosts.
"Congratulations, let's move on. ”
The five of them continued on the road, and on the way, Zhang Yifan encountered several rattan ghosts, most of which he dealt with alone, and only once was dealt with by the five of them.
Zhang Yifan was extremely easy to deal with by himself, but he encountered a lot of setbacks with the five of them, and he realized that the vine ghost was so terrifying.
Endless aquatic plants frantically besieged the five people, and the aquatic plants were scattered and quickly regrew. A lot of sharp arrows formed by aquatic plants continued to attack the five people.
And Zhang Yifan found that he couldn't find the vine ghost who kept changing positions at all, and he couldn't show the shock mystery technique now, so he could only find a way to deal with the vine ghost little by little.
In the end, Chang Nian used a secret technique to make the vine ghost stiffen for a short time, and Fang Ce seized the opportunity to kill him with a knife.
This made Zhang Yifan a little embarrassed, and the eyes of everyone looking at him were also full of doubts, as if they were doubting whether he had really killed the vine ghost before.
Zhang Yifan didn't explain, he collected the body of the vine ghost, and promised to give Chang Nian and Fang Ce 2,000 spirit stones, and Qingling Daoren and Lady Yin 1,000 spirit stones.
In this way, when the five of them went out of the deep grassland, Zhang Yifan almost hunted all the vine ghosts along the way, and collected a total of nearly twenty vine ghosts, which was enough for him to refine three or four times.
The five of them rested for half a day and continued on their way.
At this time, they were almost five hundred miles away from the entrance of the secret realm, and they only needed to pass through one more dangerous place to reach the deep valley of the miaofang crocodile.
This dangerous place is called the Sword Mountain Range, and there are two main types of fish demons living in it, the Blade Fish Demon and the Saber-toothed Fish Demon, which is also the origin of the name of the Sword Mountain Range.
These two fish demons are ferocious and aggressive by nature, although they are not very numerous in the Sword Mountain Range, but when they see the monk, they are not dead, showing the strength of a few shots, which is very difficult.
Ordinary monks and monks are reluctant to deal with them, because their corpses have no value, and they are basically just flesh and blood that can be harvested.
The corpse of a sixth-level saber-toothed fish demon was only worth less than five hundred spirit stones. The main thing is that its saber teeth can be used to make consumable magic weapons such as arrows, and the power is powerful, which is more valuable.
The Sword Mountain Range is already a deep area in the secret realm, and there is a certain chance of three evils here, so the five of them are very cautious.
The bare Sword Mountains are littered with sword marks, and only the bones piled up at the foot of the mountain testify to the danger of this place.
The Sword Mountain Range is winding, although it is only more than 200 miles in radius, but the road that can travel is twisted and turned, and the actual distance is 500 miles away. It's almost impossible to completely avoid the attacks of demon beasts along the way.
Not long after entering the dangerous place, everyone encountered a three-headed bladed fish demon.
Adult blade fish demon is generally a fifth-level demon beast, one zhang long, with prominent eyes, as bright as a yellow light, and a pale silver body, and both sides of the body are as sharp as a blade, as fast as thunder, and when attacking, it looks like a silver flying sword.
The blade fish demon also has a sixth-level one, the difference is that the body is pale gold, and of course the strength is stronger.
Among the three-headed bladed fish demons that the five people encountered, two were silver and one was gold. Seeing the five people, the bladed fish demon did not hesitate at all, and attacked directly.
Although the attack of the Blade Fish Demon was strong, it failed to break through Chang Nian and Zhang Yifan's defensive magic weapons, and after being entangled by Qingling Dao and Lady Yin, he was killed by Fang Ce.
The whole process was relatively easy, and the only thing that caused them some trouble was the sixth-level blade fish demon.
The speed of the blade fish demon that reached level six reached a very astonishing level, although it could not break through the defense of Zhang Yifan and the others for a while, but the Qingmu whip of the Qingling Daoist could not control it, and almost all the rattans that approached him were shattered by it with one blow.
In the end, relying on a strange mirror magic weapon from Lady Silver, the speed of the blade fish demon was slowed down, and it could only move in a small range, and was slashed by Fang Ce's Xianyue.
Zhang Yifan was a little interested in Mrs. Yin's magic weapon, and knew the name of this magic weapon from the other party's mouth - Ning Jing Mirror.
This mirror artifact will release a cyan dark light, and the enemy's body will be reduced and their movements will be stiff, and they can only move within the range of the condensing glass.
This is somewhat similar to a strange treasure called a fixed mirror that Zhang Yifan learned from classical books, but the fixed mirror is a magic weapon, and this condensing mirror is just a magic weapon, so it should be an imitation of the fixed mirror.
However, according to Madame Silver, there are many restrictions on using this magic weapon, not only does it consume a lot of spells, but it also has no effect after the target exceeds five.
There is another hidden shortcoming, Madam Yin did not say, but Zhang Yifan can roughly deduce from his understanding of this kind of body method restriction magic weapon that once the target's physical strength exceeds a certain range, it should not be able to restrict the target, or the effect is much weaker.
However, with the Gaze Mirror, everyone's actions in the Sword Mountain Range were much smoother.
After the five of them eliminated the bladed fish demon, they continued to hurry, and they didn't go far and encountered the five-headed saber-toothed fish demon again.
The saber-toothed fish demon has a long and narrow body, teeth like a sword, and is more ferocious and aggressive than the bladed fish demon, and its strength is also stronger.
In order to obtain the spiritual material of the saber-toothed fish demon, Zhang Yifan's main attack this time, with the restriction of Mrs. Yin's condensing mirror, the threat of the saber-toothed fish demon was greatly reduced, and it was easily eliminated, for which Zhang Yifan paid Mrs. Silver some compensation.
(Now the epidemic touches people's hearts every day, praying for peace.) )
