Chapter Twenty-Four: Earth Dragon (The First Addition to the Xianxia Newcomer List)
The clouds were darkening and the sky was darkening.
A day passed, Li Qingshan went through many dangerous places, but only found a few low-year spiritual grasses and two mountain ginseng. Mountain ginseng is an ordinary medicinal material, only a hundred years can be called an elixir, directly swallowed has the effect of strengthening bones and replenishing blood, although Li Qingshan is looking for these strains less than a hundred years, but there are also some years, the monk also has some strong body effect.
The mountains are shrouded in a thick fog, and there is no light to see after dark, and it can be dangerous if you can't find a place to stay before dark.
Seeing that it was about to get dark, Li Qingshan finally found a small cave under a small mountain. The hole was obscured by grass, and he would not have been able to detect it had not been for a gust of wind.
The entrance to this small cave was small enough for one person to pass through, and it was pitch black, and it was impossible to see how deep it was.
Li Qingshan probed in with his divine thoughts, but found nothing within ten zhang.
Li Qingshan lit a thicker dry branch, bent down into the hole, and slowly walked inside.
The entrance to the cave is very small, but the inside is getting wider and wider, Li Qingshan first bowed and walked, slowly bent over, and finally walked straight up.
The walls of the cave were shiny, with water droplets oozing out from time to time, and the cave was damp, and there were occasionally one or two small water stalls on the ground.
Looking at this situation, Li Qingshan knew that it was unlikely that this was a deserted cave, and there might be some big snakes and other demon beasts in it. Snakes become essences, and most of the poisonous gases in their caves are there, but there is no trace of poisonous gas in this cave, and Li Qingshan can't figure out what other monsters' caves look like this.
It was already dark outside at the moment, and he was afraid that he would not be able to find a place to rest in a short time, so Li Qingshan tightened his mind and continued to walk inside.
The cave is very long, up and down, Li Qingshan estimated that he had walked almost a mile away, and he was afraid that he had already crossed the boundary of the mountain bag on the ground, but there was still no end in sight here.
After walking half a mile away, there was an intersection in front of him, Li Qingshan didn't think much about it, and went straight to the hole.
Then he walked for nearly half an hour, and after a few forks in the road, the branches had already burned out, and Li Qingshan had to pick up a stone and cast a melting alchemy to act as a light.
After walking for so long, he must have gotten closer and closer to the old nest of the insect beast, and Li Qingshan became more and more cautious. Several times on the way, Li Qingshan thought about turning back, or digging a small hole on the spot to rest overnight, and leaving early tomorrow morning. But curiosity and the desire for natural treasures made him not stop. The demon beast is a treasure, the flesh and blood can be used as spiritual food, the skin and bones can be used as qi refining materials, and its spiritual essence can be used for alchemy.
A hole vaguely appeared in front of him, and Li Qingshan walked forward quickly and stopped at the entrance of the cave.
There is a cliff below the entrance of the cave, and when you look down, the ground is about five feet high.
Li Qingshan looked around the cave again, there was a larger karst cave outside, about ten zhang high, about six zhang wide, stalagmites hanging, colorful, very peculiar. There was a small stream in the middle, gurgling and flowing, looking like an underground river.
Sure that there was no danger, Li Qingshan jumped from the entrance of the cave.
Choosing a direction, Li Qingshan cautiously probed forward.
The walls of the cave are smooth and nothing grows, and from time to time you can still see the same small cave as when you came, and there are many unknown fish and shrimp in the river, but none of them have spiritual power fluctuations, and they are obviously ordinary things.
I don't know how long I walked, and suddenly there was a wave of aura fluctuations in front of me.
Li Qingshan was shocked in his heart, and stopped to sense, this aura is very strong, if it is a demon beast, it must be extremely powerful.
There was no need for Li Qingshan to think about what was in front of him, that aura had already begun to swim and surging towards him.
Li Qingshan hurriedly took out the vajra cover talisman, slapped it on his body, and then took out the Xuan Bing Blade and the streamer disc, and stood in front of him, and for a while, all the means were exhausted.
A fleshy white maw poked out from behind the stone pillar, a little dazzling in the dark environment, and then its entire body slowly swam out.
This monster, without scales and armor, without eyes and horns, is oily and translucent, and its body is thicker than Li Qingshan's waist, one meter and one section, composed of dozens of sections.
"Earth Dragon!" Li Qingshan snorted secretly.
Dilong Li Qingshan knows that it is similar to ordinary earthworms, perhaps it is the essence of earthworms, and it is a well-known thing in the cultivation world. Several peaks of Xuanling Gate have cultivated this insect, most of them are three finger thick, like such a big earth dragon, Li Qingshan has never heard of it.
Li Qingshan suddenly understood, why there was no poisonous gas at all along the way, the earth dragon fed on miasma carrion, and the poisonous gas here was afraid that it had already been sucked up.
The earth dragon has a mild temperament, likes cold and heat, and has weak supernatural powers, only the ability to devour is extremely domineering, thinking of the record about the earth dragon, Li Qingshan's mind is a little calm.
Sensing the small insect that had broken into its nest in front of him, the earth dragon arched its forebody and opened its huge mouth even wider, swallowing it in one gulp.
Li Qingshan only felt a strong wind rushing in front of him, and he didn't dare to be careless, and frantically injected spiritual energy into the streaming disc, which rotated rapidly, and became bigger than the giant mouth of the earth dragon in an instant.
"Bang!" With a bang, the earth dragon hit its head on the streamer, its head became distorted, and then it was instantly bounced out and hit a stalagmite, and the body of the earth dragon was pierced by the stalagmite, flowing out a white liquid, wafting out a burst of fragrance.
Li Qingshan was not happy either, the streaming disc pressed over and deformed the King Kong cover, and then he was knocked out with the streaming disc and slapped on the cave wall.
Li Qingshan slid down from the cave wall in a daze, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood. Although he used the Vajra Cover Talisman, the power of the earth dragon was beyond his imagination, although he was not injured by the skin, his internal organs were shocked and injured.
It seems that no matter how weak the supernatural power is, the insect beast is terrifying to a certain extent, and this huge force is unbearable.
Li Qingshan came to his senses and saw that the body of the earth dragon was pierced by stalagmites, and without thinking about it, he dragged the Xuan Bing blade and slashed at the head of the earth dragon.
A cold air swept through, and sure enough, the Xuan Bing Blade broke through the skin of the earth dragon very smoothly, and a large stream of white liquid came out, Li Qingshan was overjoyed in his heart, and his mind condensed, and he was about to continue cutting with the Xuan Ice Blade.
As soon as the earth dragon's body moved, it shook open the Xuanbing blade and pulled the head out of the stalagmite, and the piercing holes and knife wounds healed quickly, and it recovered in the blink of an eye.
Li Qingshan couldn't help but sigh at the subtlety of creation, although the body of the earth dragon was so weak, it also had such extraordinary healing ability, it seemed that if it couldn't be cut in two, it wouldn't really hurt it.
Although the Yin and Cold attribute of the Xuan Ice Blade is sharp, it has no effect on the cold-loving earth dragon.
The earth dragon shook his head, opened his mouth and arched his head to continue to swallow towards Li Qingshan.
Li Qingshan put away the Xuanbing Blade, took out the silver thread magic weapon, led the streamer disc on the ground to his side, and stood on tiptoe.
The head of the earth dragon hit the streaming disc again, and a huge force came, and Li Qingshan, who had been prepared for a long time, unloaded the force of the collision after sliding for dozens of meters this time.
Just like last time, the dragon's head was bounced out again, slapping against the cave wall.
Li Qingshan took the opportunity to run forward, and the silver thread shot out like a white light, wrapping around the head of the earth's head, and then the gravitational force retracted.
The dragon's head had fallen, still wriggling on the ground.
The earth dragon seemed to be stimulated, and its body quickly bounced up, whipping towards Li Qingshan.
The earth dragon's movements were so fast that before Li Qingshan could react, he was knocked into the cave wall. The mountain wall shook, the stones fell, and Li Qingshan fell to the ground, vomiting blood incessantly. Li Qingshan's internal organs had been injured just now, and this time he only felt that his stomach was turning over and over, his forehead was sweating, and the pain was so painful that he couldn't even lift up the strength to stand up.
