Chapter Twenty-Six: The Battle of Lapis Lazuli and Demon Beasts

The northern part of Huangshi Ridge marked in the jade slip is actually a considerable area, and it is really not easy to find traces of some kind of demon beast activity.

Fortunately, Tang Mian had enough patience, and the recovery pill in the storage bag could also ensure that he would conduct a long search in Huangshiling.

There is no Jiazi in the mountains, and in the blink of an eye, Tang Mian has been in the northern area of Huangshiling for six days, these days he is searching for clues of the golden scale ring snake during the day, and at night he hides in the shade of a secluded tree with the breathing technique to settle down, condensing mana.

Although he hadn't seen any trace of the Golden Scaled Snake in the past few days, Tang Mian had finally found some traces suspected to have been left by this demon beast, which also made him always hope for obtaining scales.

Under the shade of the tree, Tang Mian held a dark yellow stone in one hand, he looked at it with interest, obviously this was not an ordinary ore.

"Lapis lazuli?!"

Tang Mian recalled the various ore materials recorded in the book, and finally judged the type of this stone, and couldn't help but grow his mouth and show an expression of disbelief.

"If the origin of Yellowstone Ridge is because of this stone, then it is terrible. ”

As far as Tang Mian knew, the magic weapons used by the monks were roughly divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower, and the top refiners could even refine the best magic weapons comparable to magic weapons using top-grade materials.

Artifacts made from common materials such as Immersion Iron are generally low-grade artifacts, and the users are almost all low-level Qi Refining Stage cultivators, while artifacts made of materials such as Immersion Iron Essence are likely to create medium-grade artifacts that can be used by high-level Qi Refining Stage and Foundation Building Stage cultivators.

Lapis gold, like Shen Iron, is the main material for refining magic weapons, and is usually used to refine medium-grade magic weapons, but in the case of good auxiliary materials, it is not impossible to refine high-grade magic weapons.

If lapis gold is added to the Shen Iron Essence as an auxiliary material, it can also increase the quality of the magic weapon, so that the monk's mana can flow more smoothly in the magic weapon.

Obviously, this is a terrible ore, but I don't know if Huangshiling really has a large amount of lapis lazuli, in that case, this place will be like Cangmang Mountain, and it will become a battleground for soldiers.

Maybe this is a huge fortune, but it doesn't have much to do with Tang Mian, even if his storage bag is full of lapis lazuli, he can't refine the lapis lazuli needed for a magic weapon, and this kind of thing still needs the power of the sect to do this kind of thing.

Throwing the stone on the grass, Tang Mian patted the grass clippings on the hem of his clothes, and began to look for the golden scale krait again.

In the past few days, he has found more than one large snake demon beast left traces, and it should be the golden-scaled ring snake that left it.

"It is rumored that the Golden Scaly Snake likes to devour metal ores, which is in line with the appearance of lapis lazuli here. ”

With such a discovery, Tang Mian was overjoyed and also raised his heart to his throat, always vigilant for the sudden appearance of the golden scale snake, but he didn't know the other party's cultivation at all.

As the search area shrank a little, Tang Mian made more discoveries, he stood in front of a piece of grass, bent down to take a closer look at the four huge paw prints left on the ground, which obviously came from some kind of powerful four-legged demon beast.

"How can there be two demon beasts in the same area?! "

Just when Tang Mian was taken aback, two sky-shaking beast roars came from the dense forest in the distance!

When Tang Mian heard this, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he flew onto the canopy, and then hurried towards the direction where the beast's roar came out.

As he went, he withdrew all his consciousness and maintained the breathing technique, for fear of making a slight movement.

After a few breaths, Tang Mian landed lightly on the grass from the treetops, walked cautiously for a while, picked up a leaf with his hand, and looked forward through the gap.

What came into view was a huge clearing, many towering trees were broken at the waist, the grass was turned out of one big pit after another, and at both ends of the clearing were two major demon beasts still facing each other!

The demon beast close to Tang Mian's side was burning with dark blue flames all over its body at this time, a thick and long tail flicked wantonly, and everywhere its claws went, it was a scorched earth. Tang Mian looked at the size of this beast's paw print, and it was the four-legged giant beast that he had just guessed!

On the opposite side of this demon beast is a snake-shaped demon beast, with golden scales all over its body, flashing with a metallic cold glow, a hideous snake head comparable to the size of a house with a bloody mouth open, and a purple-black snake letter between the two slender fangs.

"The Golden Scaly Snake!"

Tang Mian's eyes widened, and a hint of joy flashed in them, it took so many days to finally find it!

"Hey, this seems to be a second-order Blue Flame Beast, but it's an opponent. ”

The Blue Flame Beast is also considered to be an upstream race among the second-order demon beasts, and this beast is extremely fast and extremely flexible. When fighting, the whole body is often wrapped in innate blue flames, and the power of this special flame is almost comparable to the Dan fire of a Jindan stage monk.

The coercion of the two second-order demon beasts was unleashed unscrupulously, Tang Mian could easily sense their strength, if it wasn't for the fact that he had taken the Blazing Flame Fruit to raise his body to the strength of the foundation building stage physical cultivation, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to withstand their coercion.

"The aura is so strong, I'm afraid it's close to the middle stage of foundation building, right?! If they fight to defeat both, maybe I can still have some chances. ”

Tang Mian smiled bitterly, he didn't have the slightest confidence that he would be able to face either of these two demon beasts head-on.

However, this was expected, in Tang Mian's original plan, if the strength of the Golden Scale Snake was too strong, he would choose to start from its lair. As far as he knew, the Krait shed a layer of skin every three to five years.

While Tang Mian was pondering how to pick up the leak, the two demon beasts finally ended their long confrontation and began to attack!

The figure of the golden scale ring snake was the first to move, and the dense and heavy snake scales scraped out traces on the ground, and the thick snake body ejected out like a bowstring. The head of the house-sized snake opened its bloody mouth and bit down at the Blue Flame Beast below.

The latter naturally did not sit still, his four legs bent slightly, the entire beast body jumped into the air, and the same opened its mouth, and a pillar of blue fire the thickness of a water tank gushed out from the bottomless throat, which was extremely spectacular!

The sudden movements of the two demon beasts brought gusts of wind in the forest, and in order to avoid being accidentally injured by the snake tail and Lan Yan, Tang Mian had to carefully retreat to a farther place.

"The battles of the second-order demon beasts are so spectacular, what kind of scene should Jin Dan and Yuan Ying be?"

Tang Mian retreated, looking at the fierce battle between the two beasts, and his heart was quite turbulent.
