Chapter 548: Into the Valley
After a month of flying, Tianchen and his party finally came to the edge of the Ancient Demon Forbidden Land, an isolated island in the sea.
What is presented in front of everyone is an ordinary world.
The sea and sky are clear, the waves are calm, and everyone released their divine sense to scan the sky for a long time, but they found nothing, which made Tianchen and the others a little suspicious.
The woman in yellow saw the doubts of Tianchen and the others, and said with relief: "The four Daoist friends are not in a hurry, it is an immortal formation set up here, although there are leaks, how can mortal monks like us easily break through it." At present, it will take a day, wait for the formation to turn around, and expose the flaws, it is the time for us to sneak in, and I also ask you to take a break. ”
The four of Tianchen had different expressions, but they didn't say anything, just nodded slightly and didn't ask any questions.
The woman in yellow continued: "As far as I know, this nine-eyed cold cockroach is located in a cold pool close to the inner circle in the Black Spirit Valley, the last time our Qigu Gate secretly sent someone to sneak into the treasure hunt, because there was no harvest in the periphery, so they approached the inner layer to see if they could have another chance, who knew that they accidentally saw a nine-eyed cold cockroach hanging in the air, opening its mouth to swallow the essence of heaven and earth. It's a pity that this group of Qigumen is understaffed, and after some thought, they decided to give up. ”
"Because once it is shot, with the cultivation of everyone at that time, it will not be able to form a rapid suppression of the cold cockroach, and this beast has already been psychic, and when it sees that the signs are wrong, it will return to the cold pool. The cold pool is cold and biting, usually the monk sneaks into it, and still needs to consume a lot of mana to fight against the cold in the pool water, and when fighting the law, he will inevitably shrink his hands and feet, and his strength will be halved; The most terrible thing is that if this beast comes up with some kind of turtle shrinking method, then we really can't do anything about it. The Nine-Eyed Cold Cockroach is a half-step true spirit, with an extremely long lifespan, and tens of thousands of years old! If it shrinks into the Cold Pond for hundreds of years or thousands of years, God knows how many Shangqing old monsters it will have to survive to death!"
"However, after that contact, we still have some gains after many days of observation, knowing some of the life rules of this nine-eyed cold mantle, in the middle of every month, there must be three days to fly out of the cold pool, grab the essence of heaven and earth, and cultivate the spirit body. According to calculations, the next time the cold mantis come out of the pool, about five days later, we will spend the early magic circle area, and there will be about three days of free time, during this time you can move freely in the vicinity, treasure hunting, our Qigu Gate will not be arbitrarily restrained, and the treasures obtained will not ask for half a point, but be sure to go to the gathering place before the fifth day, and set up an ambush for the nine-eyed cold mantis together. ”
After listening to the explanation of the woman in yellow, everyone nodded, and the woman in yellow saw that everyone had no opinion, so she wanted to fly away.
But Tianchen felt that something was wrong, the woman in yellow seemed to have forgotten an important matter, and when Tianchen opened her mouth to ask, the silent female cultivator of Mingyue Palace preemptively asked.
"Fairy Xiao, wait a minute, I don't know anything again, please explain. ”
When the woman in yellow heard this, her willow waist twisted, she approached the woman in white with a smile, stretched out her hands, and threw herself at the woman in white, saying, "If my sister has anything to ask, my sister will tell you." ”
The woman in white frowned slightly, her figure flashed slightly, and she avoided the woman in yellow, and said: "Fairy Xiao said about the specific situation in the Black Spirit Valley and the Nine-Eyed Cold Cockroach, but he said a word about this immortal formation, which is incomprehensible. I would like to ask, if the submission fails, and our personnel are scattered, how do we leave?"
The woman in yellow threw herself into the air, sighed heavily, looked at the woman in white with a sad look, and said, "Alas, I got along in January, and my sister is still so cold to me, it's really sad." Okay, let's get down to business, I think the other three Daoists also want to know about this question. Well, in fact, there is nothing to say, this question is very simple, the answer is just four words, return the same way! According to our experience of infiltrating the ancient demon forbidden land many times, the immortal formation is very large and redundant, to cover millions of square circles, the auxiliary magic circle required is innumerable, so in order to stabilize the magic circle, the operation of the formation is very, very slow. For example, once the passage in front of us is opened, it will take about two months to close, and it will not take more than ten days for us to go from diving to hunting the cold cockroach, so please rest assured that you have enough time to calmly explore the treasure and exit calmly. ”
"I see, thank you Fairy Xiao for your doubts. The woman in white was relieved and hugged her fists in thanks.
At noon the next day, on the sea surface a hundred zhang away from the island, a swarthy crack suddenly appeared without warning, about the size of a zhang, and the fierce aura that could emanate from it was shocking, like an ancient desolate beast, slowly opening its bloody mouth to heaven and earth.
At the same time, the surrounding scenery has changed greatly, the original sea surface is like a dream bubble, washed clean by this evil qi, revealing the original barren land, black evil qi gushes out, half of the sky is gray and black, and the atmosphere is extremely depressing.
Tianchen and the others sensed such changes and were all shocked on the spot.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the formation loophole has appeared, without further ado, Lone Light, you go to explore the path first. ”
"Yes!"
The woman in yellow gave an order with a smile, and the middle-aged monk with an elegant face behind her, hearing the order, flew towards the black rift, followed by the woman in yellow and another male cultivator of Qigumen.
Tianchen and the others did not hesitate, and also followed.
In just two breaths, a group of seven people disappeared into the black crack and disappeared.
The chasm was dark and deep, and Tianchen felt as if he had entered some underground passage, and except for the bright light that came from behind him, it was pitch black all around.
It didn't take long for the light behind him to fade.
In the darkness, there will be occasional prohibition fluctuations, and these prohibitions will gather the huge energy in the formation, like thick gray tentacles, connecting the sky and the earth, forming a huge aura storm, sweeping along the invisible trajectory.
Under the deliberate avoidance of the lone light, everyone was just swept by the corner of the storm, and there was no danger, but the aura of the protective body was still blown erratically, almost dissipating.
Not only that, but the suppression of the divine consciousness here is also extremely strong.
Taking Tianchen as an example, his divine consciousness was fully open, and he could scan two thousand miles forward, and the front and back together were four thousand miles of heaven and earth! But here, his divine sense was greatly suppressed, and the search range was only about two miles!
This is not bad, if it is placed on the obscurity of Qigumen, with his mid-term cultivation, the search range is already less than 100 zhang.
This distance is already dangerous, and in the monk's fighting method like wind and thunder, he is close to a blind man.
Under the leadership of Lone Light, everyone trembled, and finally there was no danger, and half a day later, a bright light finally appeared in front of them.
Everyone was overjoyed, but when they got closer, they unexpectedly found that there were two white lights floating at the exit, and they seemed to sense Tianchen and his party, and they seemed to fly and leaned in.
Gu Guang's face changed greatly, and he immediately took out a mirror compass, threw it into the air, and hit it with three magic decisions.
With a few "whoosh" sounds, the compass flew up into the sky, turned down, and emitted a black light from the mirror, enveloping Tianchen and the others in it, drowning in darkness.
Almost at the same time, the woman in yellow waved her hand, and everyone stopped moving, and the sleeve of the woman's robe flicked, and she silently threw something to the left, and it was covered by black light.
As the two white lights got closer and closer, outside the black light mask, their body silhouettes were reflected, one person and one snake, both of which were three zhang in size, which was very weird.
"Fellow Daoists, don't panic, and don't release your divine sense to investigate. This is the immortal array spirit, because the magic array has been operating on its own for thousands of years, it has spiritual wisdom, half-step psychic, and these array spirits are the products of grabbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Don't look at the fragility of the array spirit, because the spirit is opened, the relationship between the array spirit and the formation is extremely close. If they find out, the entire Immortal Family Formation can easily lock us in, and even if we exhaust all our mana, we won't be able to compete with the millions of miles of heaven and earth aura, so we can only wait for death!"
Just when Tianchen was about to release his divine thoughts to investigate, the eager voice of the woman in yellow sounded in his ears, and his face changed greatly, and he immediately stopped this thought.
Two clouds of white light flew up and down around Tianchen and the others, but due to the protection of the black light mask, they could only vaguely feel that something was wrong here, but they couldn't specifically detect anything.
At this moment, in the area on the left that was not known how deep, several powerful mana fluctuations suddenly erupted, and two clouds of white light were disturbed, and they immediately flew to investigate.
With this gap, Lone Light carefully controlled the mirror compass to move forward, and Tianchen and the others were under the traction of this treasure, and it took another half an hour to successfully pass through the passage and enter the Black Spirit Valley.
The situation of the Black Spirit Valley is completely different from the outside world, in Tianchen's words, that is, the grass is dense and the forests are dense, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and it is full of vitality.
It's just that the plants, trees, flowers and birds here are completely different from the outside world, and the whole body exudes a fierce aura, and they are obviously monsters!
Since they entered the Black Spirit Valley, according to the prior agreement, everyone had three to four days to explore the treasure on their own, so the woman in yellow briefly explained the meeting place, and several people didn't say anything, and they all fled together and flew away into the distance.
Tianchen chose a direction alone, went out to try his luck, and saw if he could meet the blood-drinking demon toad.
The rest of the people, the twin brothers of Tiantan Mountain in one direction, and the three of Qigumen in one direction.
Obviously, everyone came here for an additional purpose, only the female cultivator of the Bright Moon Palace who didn't want to participate in this matter originally wanted to be involved, she was fine at the moment, hesitated slightly, and also found a direction where no one was going and flew away.
According to the classics, the Blood Drinking Demon Toad is on the periphery of the Black Spirit Valley, with a low level, and after the cultivation is completed, the supernatural power is only comparable to that of a late stage of the Spirit Infant Cultivator.
However, this beast is very difficult, because it has a natural supernatural power, once it sees that something is wrong, it can decompose the body, turn into blood and escape into the ground, even if there are many people who encircle and suppress, one accidentally hits the grass and startles the snake, and there is no way to drink the demon toad with blood.
However, Tianchen had prepared in advance, and now his five thunder methods are slightly successful, and he can be cut off by a power grid to prevent the demon toad from escaping away, and he alone is enough to deal with it. In addition, there are two divine thunders complementing each other, as long as they are encountered, Tianchen will be able to gain something.
