Chapter 152: The Core
Killing the giant python, for Zhao Lingtai, but it was easy for him to do it, he didn't pay attention to this hunting team and continued to move forward. Passing through the canyon, along the way, you can see stone carvings everywhere, most of them are mottled and covered by vines, and many of them show signs of damage, broken hands and feet, and are basically incomplete.
As he deepened, Zhao Lingtai knew that he was about to approach the core area of the ruins of the Holy City, and there were already many ruins of the city walls on the road, some of which were left, and some of which were still stretched into a piece, all of which were made of huge stones, each stone was square and weighing several tons.
The stone is extremely durable, can withstand wind and frost, and has not changed for thousands of years, so the building with stone as the main body has the most inheritance, and it can still maintain its original appearance for thousands of years.
As Zhao Lingtai walked, he tasted all kinds of ruins.
Approaching the core of the ruins, it is deserted and barren, overgrown with weeds and trees, turning a huge place into a deserted garden.
There is a reason why ordinary monks do not enter here. Because in this area, monsters are infested, extremely dangerous, they are strong, they are quite close to monsters, and it can even be said that they have become demons.
Zhao Lingtai has been all the way, whether it is the tiger demon he saw outside, or the giant python, they are quite fierce, with some spiritual intelligence, almost demons, but after all, they are not demons, they are so bad. If you really want to compare, it's much worse. It's like a quasi-human immortal and a real human immortal, the gap is there, insurmountable.
In the face of the demon beasts outside, many hunting detachments can still afford it, as long as they are fully prepared, they can take it; but when they reach the core area, it will be very difficult to face those who have really become demons, and if they are not careful, they will change from hunters to prey, and die.
Zhao Lingtai experienced two rounds of attacks.
The first was a strange little beast, three-legged, winged, and good at camouflage, which took the form of a boulder and hid in a wall. When Zhao Lingtai went to look at the stone wall, this thing suddenly burst out and bit Zhao Lingtai's neck.
Because the distance was too close, and the speed of the other party's movements was as fast as lightning, Zhao Lingtai almost got hit, but fortunately, the Teng Snake Sword Protector appeared in time, and a sword stabbed it through the heart, and there was turquoise blood splashing out, and the fishy smell was strong, splashing on the stone wall, and it corroded the solid wall with a deep trace.
Its blood is poisonous!
Although Zhao Lingtai is an immortal, he does not dare to say that his body is indestructible and poisonous. Even in the human world, there are many things that can pose a threat to his life. Some of them may not be conspicuous at all, but rather ordinary.
For example, this little beast that can't be named.
If he is bitten by it and attacks his heart with poison, Zhao Lingtai doubts himself very much, and he will die with a whimper.
Another time, it was a strange tree that attacked him, with branches like vines, like long tentacles, and suddenly swept in, binding Zhao Lingtai by the waist, almost strangling him out of breath.
Seeing this, the demon body was so anxious that he screamed.
In the end, it was Zhao Lingtai who summoned the Teng Snake Sword and launched a ruthless attack, cutting the tree from head to toe, and finally only the bare tree pole was left, and then he could get out.
Eventually, the puppy ran to the bottom of the tree and raised his leg to sprinkle a large bubble of urine on the roots of the tree.
The urine was yellow and sizzling, and the roots of the tree were so corroded that they began to rot, and within a few days, the strange tree would rot from its roots until it was completely dead.
The risks encountered, in Zhao Lingtai's expectations, he acted more cautiously, and was no longer as unscrupulous as he was outside. The demon body has been wandering around, which is equivalent to a scout sentinel, and can find the danger at the first time.
The existence of the demon body itself is extremely special, but it is not an immortal body, if it encounters a strong existence that cannot be resisted, it will also be fatally injured, and even directly obliterated.
Zhao Lingtai once thought about what would happen if one day, the demon body was killed?
The answer is, he doesn't know.
All in all, it won't be a good thing. Therefore, Zhao Lingtai has always maintained a sense of proportion in the use of the demon body.
In fact, so far, he has not encountered an existence that can pose a threat to the demon body.
Under the same circumstances, the strength and endurance of the demon body are far greater than Zhao Lingtai itself, so it is very appropriate to let the demon body go out to do some dirty work, as well as dangerous work.
Taking a step back, when encountering some extreme situations, it is much better to sacrifice the demon body than to fall yourself.
With a demon body, Zhao Lingtai is equivalent to having two lives.
Zhao Lingtai's exploration of the ruins of the Holy City, in fact, there is no specific location and goal, he is here to search for clues to the "Corpse Sutra", the problem is that in such a large place, there is no exact information, and there is no purpose at all. Because the follow-up of "The Book of Corpses" is likely to have been brought to the fairy world by the great demons of ancient times.
Or, within the demon clan, there may only be the first half of the "Corpse Cutting Sutra", and there is no follow-up.
All of these are possibilities
Before coming, Zhao Lingtai only learned about the ruins of the holy city from people's mouths, or from some book records, and stayed in the show, which was not intuitive and in-depth.
Now that he is in it, he has finally had a more objective understanding of all kinds of experiences and experiences, and for him, it is indeed a cultivation place that can improve his strength.
In the human world, human immortals already belong to the top cultivators, and it is quite difficult to go further, lacking both a cultivator with comparable strength and a suitable cultivation environment, so most of the time is in retreat and understanding, and he has been in a single state for a long time, groping forward by himself alone.
Cultivating alone is not conducive to growth.
No matter what you do, you always need the reference of your peers, encouragement or denigration, and you also need the guidance and guidance of a master.
The "master" mentioned here belongs to a general reference, and the so-called threesome must have my teacher!
If you are completely alone, practicing and practicing, you can't even know what kind of strength you are, how can you improve?
The environment is just as important as the partner.
Ordinary cultivators, whose strength is at the middle and lower levels, have a lot of places where they can conduct trials, fighting ordinary beasts, exploring deep valleys, and so on, there are many directions to choose from.
But when it comes to the realm of human immortals, this problem is not easy to handle.
Let Zhao Lingtai go to Fushan and other locations to test? What are you refining? As soon as he stopped there, the beasts could not avoid it, and it retreated like a tide, leaving only loneliness. As for the cultivators who dared to challenge him, they were also rare and rare.
Perhaps, this is the loneliness after standing on a high place.
In Zhao Lingtai's mind, in the world, there are not many places worth visiting, but he didn't expect that the ruins of this holy city would become an unexpected joy.
After about a cup of tea, in Zhao Lingtai's sight, the outline of a big city appeared, huge and solemn, even though it collapsed and damaged in many places, but the erected city wall still showed the world the glory and prosperity of the year.
The real ruins of the Holy City have arrived!
