Chapter 18: The Battle of Longjiang (2)
Lu Mingzi recited the mantra in his mouth, and the peachwood sword in his hand struck the sky, and a whirlwind with a height of several feet roared out. Everywhere he passed, the scenery immediately became clear, and his face was slightly happy, but it sank suddenly.
After just a few breaths, the miasma converged again, and the vision was blocked again. The rest of the men also tried their best to dispel the fog, but in vain.
I don't know how these miasma is formed, it is inexhaustible, so difficult!
However, several people had already been mentally prepared, and they were not impatient at all, and they were still carefully searching every inch of land in front of them. The terrain is not high, but the terrain is complex: sometimes sparse woodland, sometimes rugged hills, and low-lying areas are mostly rancid mud pools.
The forest they were searching for was a mix of tall trees, some dwarf shrubs, countless weeds and wildflowers, and most often a vegetation called wild thistle.
The grass is a little tall, with only one main stem, and more than two inches of ovoid leaves stretched out on it. They can be found everywhere in the region, whether on land, on the edge of pools, or even on the mud.
More than an hour later, Yufeng suddenly stopped, and her lips gently opened a few times to the sides. After a while, the other five people leaned over.
Several people were happy, and Shen Zhaodong smiled and said, "Senior sister, what have you discovered?" The other four people all had a look of concern in their eyes.
Yufeng pointed to a slope more than ten zhang in front of him and said, "Look!"
Although everyone had excellent eyesight, they were limited by the miasma of fog, and they looked closely, and sure enough, they faintly saw a fist-sized five-petal spirit flower on the rock wall, which was staying there quietly, exuding a dim spiritual light.
Xue Rui'an frowned slightly, and said, "It turned out to be a marrow washing flower!"
Yufeng said indifferently: "Since you meet it, you can't let it go!" After that, her eyes flowed, and she turned to the other people to cast inquiring eyes.
The man surnamed Ji nodded and said, "Of course! The value of the marrow washing flower is not low, even for you and me, it is still a good material for alchemy and medicine." ”
The rest of the people nodded their heads in agreement.
Lu Mingzi's face was solemn, and he said calmly: "Be careful, pay attention to whether there are demon beasts nearby!" After that, the magic trick in his mouth rose again, the spiritual light on the peach wood sword flickered, and two whirlwinds of a height of several feet came out left and right, and the surrounding fog swept away, and the sight of the marrow washing flower suddenly became clear.
But for a moment, there was a low, squeaky sound from the place. Two half-foot-long scorpion-like demon beasts burst out from behind the slope with red light, squeaking at a few people.
They had three fluffy red manes on their foreheads, and the huge claws were also hairy, and the tail spines like bamboo knots were upside down on their foreheads, shining with a turquoise glow, which at first glance was a strange poison.
Xiao Chengfu's face was slightly condensed, and he said in a deep voice: "Red-maned scorpion!"
Several people have been looking for heavenly materials and earth treasures many times, and naturally understand that there are often demon beasts guarding near the spiritual objects of heaven and earth. Seeing that this red-maned scorpion is about the height of a person, its fur color is bright red, and its hard shell has a faint purple color, and it is already a sixth-level demon beast, and it has the strength to compete with them.
However, in terms of quantity, it is naturally not afraid of just two sixth-level demon beasts, but it also takes a lot of effort.
Shen Zhaodong said loudly: "Fellow Daoists, be careful, don't be stung by this demon! My Brother Xiao and Brother Lu made a move, and several Daoists swept the formation on the side!" Seeing that there were only two demon beasts, he no longer hesitated, and took the initiative to invite Ying to fight.
Several people have joined forces many times together, and they cooperate tacitly. The three of them stepped out of the crowd, and each of them was about to step forward with his ritual weapon.
Suddenly, three slender gray shadows rushed to the face, but it was the two demon scorpions that took the lead in attacking!
Ding!
With two soft sounds, two swarthy scorpion-tailed thorns fell to the ground with a ghostly glow. Naturally, he was opened by Shen and Lu. The other shot to the trunk of the tree in the distance, and the root of the tail thorn was still trembling slightly, but it was Xiao Chengfu who avoided the blow with his strange technique.
Xue, Ji, and Yufeng looked relaxed and patrolled the surroundings.
Lu Mingzi's left hand sword finger swiped on the peach wood sword, a wisp of purple light flashed, the sword body was full of light, and the peach wood sword seemed to have life, spitting out a purple lingering sword light. Where the sword blade pointed, a faint coercion came to his face.
Not to be outdone, the two scorpions hissed and competed against each other, then bowed and opened their mouths and rushed forward!
Plop, pounce, plop! The turquoise venom spurted out one after another, and it slammed into the three of them, and a foul smell came to them. Lu Mingzi's figure was sluggish, the peachwood sword was spinning, and a purple light curtain was blocking in front of him, and Shen and Xiao each used defensive methods.
The venom hit the light curtain with a sizzling explosion, and wisps of green silk emerged. The venom that slipped to the ground is even more eroded and stone-eroded, and it is domineering!
Yufeng's face changed slightly from a distance, and she secretly clenched her fists, but she didn't make any other moves. The other two were unfazed, and their faces were unusual.
Suddenly blocked by the two scorpions, Lu Mingzi's face was implied with evil energy, the purple qi of the peachwood sword soared, and a half-zhang long light blade pressed straight down, and there was a momentum of killing the two demons on the spot.
Shen and Xiao's movements were not slow, and the golden sword light and a cloud of gray light and shadow came from both sides.
The red light around the two demons was bright, and the four pairs of feet moved in unison, turning into an afterimage and rushing out. Purple light, golden light, and gray light all struck the place where the two demons had just stood.
In a moment, there was a loud bang, rocks flew, and the dust broke through the fog.
The red-maned scorpion was visibly enraged, and its low, piercing groature roared rapidly. After a while, there was a buzzing buzz, one after another. Looking at the miasma of fog ten zhang away, a black cloud with a diameter of dozens of zhang suddenly appeared! The black pressure was so oppressive that even the miasma could not hide its figure.
Yufeng, who was standing in the distance, was taken aback, no longer standing, and rushed forward, running towards the black clouds. However, she was still half a step behind Ji and Xue.
Fang didn't see it clearly until he got closer. This black cloud is a dense array of winged flying scorpions, all with red eyes, chelerae opening and closing rapidly, irritable!
Such a large group, I am afraid that there are as many as tens of thousands! Suddenly facing this reptile of the people, the two female cultivators frowned, and their chests were faintly uncomfortable. Especially Yufeng, she couldn't hold it back, the short blade in her hand was full of light, her pretty face was solemn, and there was a hidden anger.
But before she could make a move, the man surnamed Ji had already attacked. I saw him put his hands together in front of his chest, pinched a magic seal, and recited it twice in his mouth, dozens of ice cubes more than half a foot long took shape in an instant, and the temperature around him dropped sharply, and even the surging fog miasma was slightly condensed.
He spat out lightly: "Go!" Ice Ridge carried the cold wind towards the scorpion scorpion!
The demon scorpion below let out a strange roar, and the scorpion group began to vibrate its wings in unison as if it had received an order, and a circle of sound ripples visible to the naked eye spread around.
The ice cube that was originally like electricity suddenly froze and froze in mid-air!
