Chapter Eighty-Three: Go Deeper
After the first good harvest, the enthusiasm of the team was fully mobilized.
In the following time, Lin Quan and the other six people went deeper for more than fifty miles in one breath. Along the way, he also killed some middle-level demon beasts and two high-level demon beasts again, and he was lucky enough to pick a few spirit grasses that were old enough, but he didn't encounter a high-level demon beast with high value like the gold-loving rat.
This is not to say that there are few middle and high-level demon beasts in the inner mountainous area, but because it is late, the red breeze does not dare to go too deep. In the middle of the night, it is always the most dangerous time in the entire mountain range, and all kinds of monsters will leave the cave to hunt. For this reason, Red Whisk decided to explore its surroundings for a while, and then planned to find a safer place to spend the night, and then continue exploring the next day when it was dark.
After having truly seen the ferocity of the demon beast, everyone had no opinion on such a proposal.
..................
Five days later, in an inconspicuous small cave in the mountains of Qianyun Mountain.
Lin Quan slowly opened his eyes. At this time, the sky outside had already brightened, and after a while, the Li brothers, who consumed the most every day, also stood up one after another. At a glance, I saw that Hongfu and the other three were already sitting around the fire not far away and talking happily, and there was a large iron pot hanging above the fire, and the tempting fragrance continued to waft from it, causing Lin Quan and the Li brothers to move their index fingers.
"Come on, Brother Jin and the two Li brothers, you can also sit down and eat some of this rare phantom leopard meat. After seeing Lin Quan and the three of them wake up, Zhou Fatzi's loud voice rang out.
"Thank you all kinds of Taoist friends. ”
Lin Quan, who had long been aroused by the strong smell of meat, immediately stepped forward unceremoniously and sat down by the fire, and after thanking them, they hurriedly scooped up a large piece of fragrant leopard meat from the cauldron and feasted on it. Everyone understood that this kind of soup stewed from the flesh and bones of the first-order high-level demon beast Phantom Leopard was a rare good thing. Needless to say, the taste is delicious, and the most rare thing is that the meat of this demon beast is particularly rich in spiritual power, which is a great tonic for Qi Condensation Stage monks. If it weren't for the fact that this meat was extremely difficult to preserve, everyone would be reluctant to eat it directly.
After looking at Lin Quan and the Li brothers' ugly appearance, Hongfu and Wang Qingyun also smiled and nodded. continued to start chatting one after another, and taking advantage of this rare free time, others also kept expressing their opinions and opinions, and the atmosphere of the whole team was harmonious. After these five days of getting along, Lin Quan and the Li brothers were unanimously recognized by the three Qi Condensation Ninth Layer Cultivators with their outstanding performance.
The two Lee brothers relied on excellent defense, of course. Every time, they relied on the sturdiness of high-level defensive magic weapons and stood on the front line with Zhou Fatzi to block almost all the attacks for the entire team, and for this reason, they consumed the most spiritual power and looked the most embarrassed every time they fought. But in the same way, they also gained the most benefits and combat insights.
As for Lin Quan's words, although he has not revealed any special means so far, his grasp of the battle situation is quite good. As a talisman maker, he can not spare the consumption of talismans every time, and the runes of various attributes can always appear in the place where they should appear in a timely and accurate manner, and they can always have an excellent effect like the finishing touch. Not only that, when he camped on the first night in the inner mountainous area, Lin Quan even showed his attainments in the formation technique a little, relying on a simple maze and concealment formation to easily defend the entrance of the cave, laying a solid foundation for the safety of the entire team.
As a result, what should have been the most dangerous night of the day has become the safest and most comfortable time for the whole team to rest. You no longer have to worry about being suddenly attacked by monsters or poisonous insects in your sleep. For this reason, Zhou Fatzi had to emphasize every time that Lin Quan, the formation mage, came at his best invitation, so as to show his talent for Bole.
However, Lin Quan was not proud of this, he had already secretly weakened the power of the formation when he revealed the formation technique, and deliberately revealed some obvious flaws. And afterwards, he also said all the advantages and disadvantages of these two small formations very frankly. This kind of on-the-road performance also made all the members of the team feel more at ease.
"How is it, have you gained any insights through these days of fighting?" After Lin Quan and the others had eaten all the remaining meat in the pot, Zhou Fatzi asked with a smile.
"Hmm...... This method of finding a breakthrough through the bottleneck by hunting demon beasts is indeed very useful to the younger brother. After a few days, the younger brother felt that his spiritual power was becoming more and more condensed, and he was becoming more and more familiar with the control of spiritual consciousness and spiritual power. I think that as long as I go through a few more battles, I will definitely have a chance to break through the current bottleneck. Lin Quan first expressed his feelings.
"Yes, in the past few days, our brother has also felt that the bottleneck that has plagued us for a long time has loosened. The eldest brother of the Li brothers also picked up.
"In that case, let's go a little deeper. It's just that the danger of doing so is also very great, and according to our past experience, if we go deeper, there is a high chance that we will encounter top-level demon beasts, so now we might as well vote on this. Red Whisk thought about it for a moment, and suddenly had a bolder idea.
Zhou Fatzi was suddenly stunned after hearing this, he looked at Lin Quan and the Li brothers and said with a little hesitation: "Sister Hong, isn't this too hasty? Brother Jin, they have only just adapted to it for five days." If we really encounter a top-level demon beast, we ...... it?"
"This ...... Jin Daoyou, what do you think?" After listening to Zhou Fatzi's words, the Li brothers, who were still a little moved, moved their lips but did not immediately express their position, but turned their heads to look at Lin Quan.
Feeling that everyone's eyes were all looking at him, Lin Quan did not continue to be silent. After thinking for a while, he replied simply: "In the next personal opinion, I don't have any objection to exploring further, as for the top demon beasts mentioned by Brother Zhou, I think as long as we can work together, even if we encounter one, we are not without the strength to fight." ”
"Okay! Kim Daoyou really has the guts. Hongfu nodded, and then looked at Wang Qingyun: "Qingyun, what do you think?"
Naturally, the little sister fully agreed with Sister Hong's proposal. As a ninth-layer cultivator, Wang Qingyun naturally did not have the slightest fear, and after a pause, she added: "Of course, the reason why the concubine agrees to this proposal is actually a certain selfishness, after all, I originally came to Qianyun Mountain for the top demon beasts. I think you should also know that in more than two years, it will be the day of the five-year "big opening of the mountain gate" of our four major sects of the Great Zheng State. Sister Hong and I are so anxious to break through the ten-layer bottleneck as soon as possible, also in order to further increase some chips to enter the gate faction. Casual cultivators like us only have the opportunity to go further on the path of cultivation after entering the Great Gate Sect. So I won't force you to make this proposal, Kim Daoyou, two Li Daoyou, you can think about it carefully. If one person disagrees, I'll abandon the plan. After all, once you encounter a top-level demon beast, the three of you are the most dangerous. ”
After listening to Wang Qingyun's straightforward words, everyone except Lin Quan, who lacked the common sense of cultivating immortals, was silent. Especially the Li brothers lowered their heads and silently calculated something.
After thinking carefully for a while, Lin Quan, who thought that his strength was not inferior to that of their ninth-layer cultivators, said first: "I have thought about it again in Xia, for the sake of the path of immortality, I will not be afraid of any difficulties!"
"Okay! What Fairy Qingyun and Jin Daoyou said is extremely true. It is not easy for us to come this far in our casual cultivation, and who doesn't want to take another step into the condensation period? Our brothers also decided to fight hard, and although it is very safe if we have been timid, we will have absolutely no hope of standing out in the "Great Opening of the Mountain Gate" and entering the four major sects in two years. At this time, the Li brothers made up their minds, and a fiery light flashed in their eyes.
"Well, now that Brother Jin and Brother Li have expressed their positions, I, Fat Zhou, will naturally not admit it. My generation of monks is acting against the sky, I'm afraid that it's really not very good, so let's go and meet the top demon beasts for a while. ”
Indeed, apart from those who knew that their qualifications were very inferior, who wouldn't want to live forever? At least in this team, except for Lin Quan, the other five people who could cultivate to the eighth and ninth levels of Qi Condensation at this age as casual cultivators were all extremely qualified. No one wants to give up the hope of immortality.
"Well, then let's move on from today onwards. However, I am also aware of everyone's concerns, and we will limit ourselves to three days, and after three days, regardless of whether there is a harvest or not, we will return immediately. In the end, it was the captain of the Red Whisk who made up his mind.
