Chapter 57: Divide the dirt together
The four corpses were neatly placed outside the cave, and they were the four monks who had died in battle. According to the practice of the Otherworldly Conquest, most of the monks who died in battle in the Otherworld were buried in the Otherworld, or burned into ashes and brought back. The opening of the light gate consumes a lot of energy at all times, and the transportation of characters between the two realms requires the consumption of spirit stones, and no sect will consume precious spirit stones for the corpses of dead monks. These four monks belong to the Wuzhou Chamber of Commerce, and whether they are buried or burned must be decided by the Chamber of Commerce.
"Boss. Feng Ping pulled Zhang Xu to no one's place and handed Zhang Xu the storage bag full of snake eggs, which belonged to the four fallen monks.
The snake eggs in the lair of the Demon Snake King were privately divided by several people, and now these four people have died in battle, and their snake eggs are ownerless. Although it is not benevolent to take it directly, if it is discovered by the Chamber of Commerce, it will definitely be necessary to track down whether there are other snake eggs. After all, the snake eggs of the Demon Snake King are natural treasures that can directly increase spiritual power, and each snake egg can save the monk months or even half a year of cultivation time. Isn't the otherworldly conquest for these heavenly treasures?
The heavenly and earthly treasures in hand are naturally unwilling to hand them over, and they are all fought to the death. In order to prevent the Chamber of Commerce from discovering the traces, the snake eggs could only be retrieved from a few dead people.
"Few, I'm sorry, I'll give my brother a few more paper money to burn, and bless you to be reincarnated as soon as possible!" Zhang Xu solemnly bowed to several corpses.
Back in the cave, the princess Ji Xian'er was gone, and only Lu Shanhe pulled the little Lori to teach in Beibei.
"What about the snake spirit princess?" Zhang Xu asked casually.
"You said Sister Xian'er, she said to go around. Lin Xili said casually.
"Master Lu, there will be so many opportunities for your disciples in the future, don't you care about this moment?" Zhang Xu said with a smile.
Lu Shanhe snorted coldly and shook his hand.
"Oh, three per person, put it away!" Zhang Xu quietly distributed the snake eggs to Lin Xi and Xiong Xian.
In this way, the four people of the Iron Sword Sect each got six snake eggs, and their strength would increase greatly after eating them.
"Brother in charge. Little Lori's eyes narrowed with laughter, as smart as she naturally knew the origin of the snake egg.
"Elder Xiong, Elder Feng, Ah Xi, don't stay here, take advantage of the fact that the army of the Chamber of Commerce has not come, everyone go around and find more treasures! This snake mountain is the lair of the Demon Snake King, and I don't know how many heavenly and earthly treasures there are, and when the army of the Chamber of Commerce comes, it will not belong to us!" Zhang Xu commanded.
Xiong Xian and Feng Ping both smiled and nodded, and each went out of the cave. Hunting in the other world, all the treasures of heaven and earth are ownerless, who finds who, of course, when returning to the Yellow Realm, the seizure needs to be handed over to the Chamber of Commerce according to the custom.
"Brother in charge, where are we going?" Lin Xi looked at Zhang Xu quietly.
Zhang Xu thought about it carefully and said, "When I go to the bottom of the cave, I always feel that we missed something?"
The Demon Snake King was cut off his wings last time, and he was so seriously injured that he could easily recover, this snake mountain must have something to recover, this cave is where the spiritual veins are, if there is that thing, it must be in the cave, and the most likely place is the space at the bottom of the cave.
"That snake spirit princess is a dignified emperor, why did she appear here alone, there must be something that attracted her. Now she's suddenly gone, and we'll have to follow along. Zhang Xu analyzed.
Lin Xi thought for a while: "Well, Sister Xian'er seems to have gone to the depths of the cave, I thought it was convenient for her to go." ”
The two of them did not have such a lighting existence as the moon butterfly, so they could only raise the torch and go inside, and they walked all the way without saying more, and soon arrived in the underground space, and sure enough, they saw Ji Xian'er, standing alone, looking at the pool of lava and the flames in a daze.
"Sister Xian'er, you are here!" Lin Xi smiled happily and went up to grab Ji Xian'er's arm.
"Why are you here too?" Ji Xian'er gently pinched Lin Xi's face and asked with a smile.
Lin Xi's eyes rolled: "You disappeared just now, and the head brother was worried about your safety, so he came with me to look for it." ”
"Hmph!" Ji Xian'er just glanced at Zhang Xu coldly, and her gaze returned to Xiao Lori again.
Zhang Xu didn't go up in an interesting way, but looked around and searched, and then sure enough, he found something, but it was a snake skin that had fallen off, and when he came in last time, everyone was shocked by the lava fire, but he just took a cursory look around the space, but he didn't notice this thing.
"That's the snake skin that the Demon Snake King has faded, the texture is flexible and extremely strong, and you can use it as a material to refine the high-grade spirit armor!" Looking at Zhang Xu who came with the snake skin, Ji Xian'er said lightly.
"Haha, good thing, I didn't expect this thing Your Royal Highness Princess to look down on, and you're welcome. Zhang Xu was overjoyed, rubbed it and put the snake skin into the storage bag, and there was no intention of giving it to Ji Xian'er at all.
Ji Xian'er was so hung that she couldn't look at it, but she didn't notice it either, her mind was in the lava pool. The snake skin of this demon snake king is more than ten zhang long, and it can refine at least ten pairs of high-grade spirit armor, and this snakeskin armor is far softer than ordinary spirit armor and is extremely comfortable to wear, and the price is one percent higher than the same high-grade spirit armor, but it is an extremely huge wealth!
This bastard is not only shameless but also greedy for money, and Ji Xian'er's perception of Zhang Xu has dropped again.
However, with her identity, she will not say anything to Zhang Xu to meet in half.
Glaring at Zhang Xu fiercely, Ji Xian'er put her gaze back on the middle of the lava pool.
Zhang Xu took a few steps forward, stood beside Ji Xian'er, and followed to look at the middle of the lava pool. Glancing at Zhang Xu with the rest of her eyes, Ji Xian'er moved to the side and distanced herself from Zhang Xu.
Karmic Fire Red Lotus, looking at the few green leaves in the lava pool, Zhang Xu suddenly remembered what the Sword Spirit Fire Phoenix had said to him, Karma Fire Red Lotus, a fourth-order spiritual grass, can greatly change the physique of a monk, even if a mortal eats it, he can become a genius of cultivation. And the karmic fire red lotus also contains great spiritual power, no wonder the demon snake king can quickly grow wings, and his strength is better than before.
But this red lotus is gone, it must have been eaten by the Demon Snake King, and there are only a few lotus leaves left, what is Ji Xian'er doing when she looks at it?
Just as Zhang Xu opened his mouth to ask, Ji Xian'er took a few steps forward.
"Sister Xian'er, it's too hot in front or don't go, right?" Lin Xi hurriedly shouted, the high temperature of the lava made the temperature of the entire space like an oven, even if it was more than twenty zhang away from the lava pool, everyone's sweat still couldn't stop flowing, little Lori Lin Xi's face was roasted red, and he couldn't help but shout when he saw that Ji Xian'er was going forward.
Ji Xian'er turned around and smiled lightly: "It's okay." ”
Graceful posture, beautiful face, Ji Xian'er looked back and smiled, the whole space lost color, Zhang Xu felt as if a deer crashed into his heart, obediently, this snake spirit princess is really beautiful!
As if feeling Zhang Xu's gaze, the smile on Ji Xian'er's face disappeared and became as cold as frost. She turned around and took a few more steps towards the lava pool, finally stopping.
Then she saw a red light shoot out of her hand, turning into a train and shooting towards the lava pool, and then a roll quickly flew back, Ji Xian'er frowned.
Zhang Xu's eyes were sharp, and he saw that a small flame ignited at the end of the match that Hongling turned into, but it was extinguished by Ji Xian'er's spell.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, this can't be done, the temperature of this lava pool is too high, and it is not easy to uproot that karmic fire red lotus. Zhang Xu said with a smile, he found out Ji Xian'er's intentions.
No wonder this little lady came to this snake mountain alone, and quietly dived into this underground by herself, it turned out that it was for the sake of this karmic fire red lotus, and it was the idea of pulling out the roots of the red lotus. Think about it, although the karmic fire red lotus was eaten by the demon snake king, the roots are still there, if it can be pulled out, maybe it can be transplanted to the same lava environment, and the lotus flower can grow again after twenty years. And there may be some special use for its roots.
Ji Xian'er silently looked at the few lotus leaves in the lava pool in a daze, ignoring Zhang Xu's words.
"Brother Boss, do you have any good ideas?" Lin Xi hurriedly asked.
"Is there a way? Zhang Xu said with a smile.
Ji Xian'er finally turned around and looked at Zhang Xu with eyes like autumn water.
Zhang Xu closed his mouth with a smile, and the smile on his face made Ji Xian'er want to punch him.
"If you can help me get the lotus root, our festival will be written off. Ji Xian'er opened her mouth lightly and said softly.
"Haha, since the princess said so, we will be friends in the future, and it is nothing to stick a knife in the ribs for a friend. Zhang Xu said with a smile. Reaching out and taking out the iron sword from his arms, he silently summoned the fire phoenix.
In the iron sword, Huo Feng covered his ears with both hands and lay motionless on the ground.
There was no way, Zhang Xu could only use the blade of the sword to pull on the palm of his hand, dripping blood on the iron sword.
With a soft "hum", a phantom shadow floated out from the iron sword, gradually condensing, revealing the appearance of the fire phoenix in a hurry.
"Little bastard, I told you not to use your dirty blood to stain the old lady's sleeping place!" Huo Feng scolded.
"Sister Huofeng, you said that the Karma Fire Red Lotus before, do you think that?" Zhang Xu said with a smile.
Huo Feng looked at the lava pool, and then pouted: "It's the karmic fire red lotus, but the lotus flowers are gone!"
Zhang Xu smiled: "The lotus flower doesn't have but the roots are there, if you can dig out the roots, is there some use?"
"Of course the root is useful, and its lotus root is also a fourth-order elixir, which has the effect of breaking the weight and reviving the dead, but its lotus root is deep in the lava, how can it be dug at such a high temperature?"
Zhang Xu said as a matter of course: "Exactly, Sister Huofeng, you are a phoenix, the phoenix should not be afraid of this lava, right?"
Huo Feng's eyes rolled: "Of course the old lady is not afraid of this mere lava, even the three flavors of true fire can't withstand the old lady!" But the old lady is in the form of a machine spirit, and her body can't be too far away from the iron sword, boy, if you want me to help you go to the karmic fire red lotus lotus, you yourself also have to run to the red lotus, as long as you have the ability to not be afraid of the high temperature, the old lady will help you!"
Zhang Xu smiled: "This sister Huofeng doesn't bother. ”
Ji Xian'er looked at Zhang Xu without blinking, and saw that he first slashed his palm with an iron sword, and then muttered to himself in the air, secretly saying in his heart that this bastard was nervous. She didn't know that Zhang Xu was talking to Huofeng. The form of the Fire Phoenix Woman was inherently void, and no one other than the owner of the iron sword could see or hear her voice at all. Of course, except when she turns into a phoenix entity, but with Zhang Xu's current strength, she can't turn into a phoenix form.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, you use your red lings to bind my iron sword, and then send the iron sword to the sky above the karmic fire red lotus, and then you don't care, you will naturally dig out the red lotus root. After communicating with Huofeng, Zhang Xu said to Ji Xian'er with a smile.
Ji Xian'er looked at Zhang Xu quietly, and didn't say much, stretched out her hand, summoned Hongling again, and rolled towards the iron sword in Zhang Xu's hand, and then Zhang Xu felt that the iron sword in his hand was light, and the iron sword had been swept away by Hongling, and flew towards the lava pool.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, that iron sword is the treasure of my Iron Sword Sect, don't drop it in the lava pool!" Zhang Xu hurriedly reminded.
Ji Xian'er didn't pay attention to him, and when he cast the spell, Hongling had already flown to the sky above the lotus leaves of the lava pool with an iron sword, and then saw that the lotus leaves suddenly rose, and he was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly retracted the Hongling, and the lotus leaves flew back with Hongling, and the root of the lotus leaf was clearly a lotus root with roots.
Ji Xian'er was shocked, only then did she know that this iron sword was a spirit weapon, and there was a tool spirit that she couldn't even see! But she didn't move, and threw the iron sword back at Zhang Xu.
"You took the skin of the demon snake king, and I took the root of the red lotus, this matter will end here, don't make any more noise. Ji Xian'er said lightly at Zhang Xu.
"That's natural, Your Royal Highness Princess, does this count as a mess of us together?" Zhang Xu said with a smile.
The harvest is huge, and the trip to Snake Mountain to Tiejianmen has gained a lot. Not to mention the other harvests that Xiong Xian and Feng Ping found on the mountain, just more than 20 snake eggs and this snake skin that is more than ten zhang long is a great harvest!
However, Zhang Xu was not satisfied, and after getting out of the underground space, he took the little Lori Lin Xi and began to wander around the mountains, and he found a lot of spiritual grass. And when the army of the Chamber of Commerce did not arrive, Zhang Xu and the others secretly ate a few snake eggs, and then returned to the snake nest spirit land to cultivate and refine, and everyone's strength has improved a lot. After eating the six snake eggs, Zhang Xu and Xiao Lori's cultivation has reached the consummation of the initial stage of foundation building, and it will not take long to enter the middle level of foundation building.
Feng Ping's cultivation has been improved from the initial level of foundation building to the middle level of foundation building, and his strength has increased a lot. As for Elder Xiong Xian, he was already at the peak of foundation building, and he couldn't improve much after eating snake eggs, so he simply didn't eat them, and was ready to leave the snake eggs to Zhu Kun.
A day later, the army of the Chamber of Commerce finally drove to Snake Mountain! Zhao Wuji, a seriously injured Jindan mid-level monk, also returned to the team.
The injured Li Pingbo sat on the chariot and was carried by the four monks, looking at the occupied Snake Mountain, his face showing excitement. After many difficulties, this hunt in the beast spirit realm was finally declared a success!
