Chapter 177: Driving the Tiger and Devouring the Wolf
The disciples of the Yuntian Sect who participated in the trials in the past, while the trials, would also record the terrain they had passed through in detail in the jade slips. Although some of these disciples encountered rare elixirs, they were unable to kill the demon beasts that guarded the elixir due to their lack of strength, and they could only choose to give up in the end.
Although it is impossible to obtain these rare elixirs, because of the discovery of rare elixirs in Yuntian Sect, there are corresponding rewards, so that these disciples will mark the locations of these rare elixirs in the jade slips.
Xu Qing had already obtained the jade slip from Liu Wuxian, so the contribution of the disciples of the Yuntian Sect ended up cheapening him, a traitor of the Yuntian Sect, which was really impermanent.
According to the annotations on the map, Xu Qing began his path of sweeping elixirs.
"There should be a Vermilion Bird grass in front of it, and it is very old, I hope it is not rushed. Xu Qingxin withdrew from the jade slip and looked at the corner in front of him, his eyes shining slightly.
Xu Qing searched for the elixir according to the mark in the jade slip, but after searching for several places in a row, in the end, he was either the first to get there, or the year could not meet Xu Qing's expectations, which made him a little frustrated.
Vermilion Bird Grass, the plant is fiery red, and the leaves are quite similar to the Vermilion Bird that spreads its wings and flies, hence the name. Vermilion Bird, with phoenix blood, even among the holy beasts, the strength is quite strong, and the green dragon, white tiger, and Xuanwu are called the four spirits, guarding the four lands.
In addition to the similarity of the leaves to the rosefinch, the Vermilion Bird Grass also has its magic. The phoenix is known as the immortal bird, but Nirvana is reborn, and Suzaku also has some Nirvana ability because of its phoenix blood. Vermilion Bird Grass, which can be named after Vermilion Bird, is more important because it has an extraordinary effect in healing injuries, and at the same time healing from injuries, it can help people sublimate their flesh and blood to the fullest, and transform into immortals.
Shedding the mortal womb and achieving the immortal body, of course, this is just an exaggeration. I'm afraid that even immortal medicine can't do it, where in this world can there be a good thing that can be achieved overnight, but this is enough to show that Vermilion Bird Grass is extraordinary.
Xu Qing gathered all his breath, and then walked forward cautiously, not making a sound.
Walking around the corner, a few feet away, a stone room was already in sight.
Xu Qing didn't immediately rush into the stone chamber impulsively, because since the disciples of the Yuntian Sect couldn't obtain the Vermilion Bird Grass, there would definitely be demon beasts guarding it.
Although his spiritual sense was greatly limited in Longyan Mountain, Xu Qing entered the late stage of foundation building. Spiritual consciousness soared again. Just using his spiritual sense to probe the stone chamber a few feet away was no longer a problem for him.
Although the demon beast is ** strong, before the transformation, it is not good at the use of the power of the soul, so Xu Qing is not worried that the demon beast guarding the Vermilion Bird Grass will detect his exploration.
The spiritual sense extended to the stone chamber little by little, and the first thing that appeared in Xu Qing's heart was a skeleton, a white bone forest, a skeleton of a human being, and the skeleton of an unknown demon beast. The snow-white color has almost become the only color in the stone room, and it looks extraordinarily human.
"It seems that the demon beast inside is not easy to deal with, and it is by no means a good master. Xu Qing felt his scalp tingle a little, and then his spiritual sense extended to the depths of the stone chamber again.
A fiery red plant appeared in Xu Qing's heart. It was about three feet tall and looked like a burning flame, fiery and unrestrained. There are a total of 9981 leaves on the plant, and each leaf resembles a winged bird. You can break through the sky at any time.
"It's really Vermilion Bird Grass, but why can't I find the figure of the demon beast, did I just leave?" Xu Qing was pleasantly surprised. It's just that he is very puzzled in his heart, he has already explored the stone room, but he has not found the figure of the demon beast guarding the Vermilion Bird Grass.
Xu Qing did not give up, and continued to search carefully in the stone room, but still did not find the figure of the demon beast.
"Hmm, is it so?" When Xu Qing was about to withdraw his spiritual sense, he found an anomaly in the skeleton.
Because of his instinctive dislike for the skeleton, Xu Qing always avoided these white bones intentionally or unintentionally when he was exploring, but when he was about to return his spiritual sense, he unexpectedly found a little white spider silk on the skeleton. White spider silk is as thin as a human hair, and it is difficult to spot them without careful attention.
Xu Qing immediately dispersed his spiritual sense to the top of the stone chamber, because when he explored before, he habitually thought that the demon beast must be below, so he didn't explore the top of the stone chamber at all. But when Xu Qing radiated his spiritual sense upwards, his scalp was numb again.
At the top of the stone chamber, a very hideous spider hovered on it, it was snow-white and as large as a calf. The top of the stone chamber was almost densely covered with spider silk, and there was no room in sight.
However, it was obviously entrenched on the top of the stone room, but Xu Qing couldn't detect a trace of breath at all, as if it was just a dead corpse. But is it really just a dead corpse without the breath of life? Xu Qingming could sense that its abdomen was rising and falling slightly.
"What a clever technique of breathing. Xu Qing couldn't help but secretly praise, the white spider's breath-gathering ability was almost mysterious, even if Xu Qing deliberately investigated, he still couldn't sense any of its breath.
Xu Qing couldn't help but hesitate, although he sensed the breath of the white spider, he could know from the white bones below that its strength would definitely not be weak. According to Xu Qing's speculation, the white spider has at least the strength equivalent to the late stage of foundation building, and even the foundation building is possible.
Facing the mutated Red Flame Wolf in the late stage of foundation building, Xu Qing was not afraid, because it had just reached the late stage of the second order, and its accumulation was not deep, and it was limited by its own conditions, so it could only choose melee combat. However, the white spider is different, its body is not as strong as the red flame wolf, but it can spit poisonous silk, if it is entangled in poisonous silk, not only will its movements be restrained, but even its mind will probably become unclear because of the poison contained in the poisonous silk.
With Xu Qing's current ability, there is no good way to deal with the poisonous silk sprayed by the white spider. But if Xu Qing was asked to give up Vermilion Bird Grass like this, he was a little unwilling.
"It seems that we have to think of another measure, and we can't do it brutally, otherwise we may have to explain it here today. Xu Qing thought about countermeasures in his heart, but there were still no absolutely safe measures, and the risks were very high.
He finally decided to give up, he was not sure that he would be able to kill the white spider, the risk was too great, although the Vermilion Bird Grass was good, it was not worth his risk, he didn't want to become a new white bone in the stone chamber.
He took out the jade slip and then looked for other rare elixirs nearby.
"There are a lot of sun fruits, it seems that the demon beast entrenched there should be flamingos. ”
Flamingo. Sex likes volcanoes, its shape is like a phoenix, its song is sharp, and there must be a sun tree where it is entrenched. The sun tree bears fruit for a hundred years, its fruit does not fall for a hundred years, absorbs the aura of heaven and earth day and night, and after a hundred years, it can have extraordinary effects, and it dissolves when it hits the soil, disappearing without a trace.
"The Vermilion Bird Grass is still there. Then the Blazing Sun Fruit should also be there, after all, the two places are not far apart. ”
Although Xu Qing didn't know what the specific role of the Burning Sun Fruit was, the Burning Sun Fruit was undoubtedly a precious anomaly, and it stands to reason that the disciples of the Yuntian Sect would first take away these extremely rare elixir treasures during the trial, but they seemed to be delayed by more important matters.
"If you lead that flamingo here, wouldn't it be a double win if you let the flamingo and the white spider fight each other?" Xu Qing's eyes couldn't help but light up, he didn't want to miss the Vermilion Bird Grass and the Burning Sun Fruit, and it seemed that only this method could achieve his goal.
Xu Qing no longer hesitated. Begin to think carefully about the details of the plan, only a thorough plan can help him achieve his expectations completely without worrying about his life.
Soon, a feasible plan came into existence in Xu Qing's mind. He gently dug a small pit under his feet, and then summoned the jade pagoda out. After Xu Qing put the jade pagoda into the small pit, he then filled the small pit with gravel so that it could not be seen in the slightest.
After doing all this. Xu Qing rushed to the location of the flamingo.
Xu Qing hurried forward, and in just half a pillar of incense, he rushed to his destination.
For white spiders. Xu Qing was very jealous, but it was entirely because the white spider could spit poisonous silk, and once it was entangled in poisonous silk, the end would be absolutely miserable. And the flamingo, he wasn't so afraid. Even if he can't get the upper hand, won't he be able to escape?
Therefore, Xu Qing did not hesitate too much, and rushed directly to the entrance of the huge underground palace where the flamingo was.
When Xu Qing saw the situation in the underground palace, he was stunned again. Not far from the entrance of the underground palace, a small emerald green tree less than a zhang high swayed gently, and its branches were full of crystal fruits.
The fruits are of different sizes, all of them are red, the big ones are like fists, the small ones are like cherries, and there are nearly a hundred. The larger the fruit, the brighter the color of the fruit, as big as a fist, red as blood, as if the slightest touch will cause red juice to drip down.
A fiery red firebird hovers around the fruit tree, up and down, and occasionally screams excitedly. It was elegantly formed, surrounded by flames, like a spirit dancing in the fire.
When Xu Qing arrived, he saw a fist-sized crystal fruit falling from the branch, and the firebird seemed to become more excited, rushing directly towards the fruit, and the flames around him became more vigorous.
"It's a hundred-year-old sun fruit, and I'm worried that there's no good way to anger the flamingo completely. Xu Qing looked at the fallen crystal-like fruit, his eyes flashing with joy.
His right palm was immediately raised, and the true yuan moved to the palm, and then the suction between the palms suddenly increased, and the trajectory of the fruit that was originally falling changed abruptly, like a meteor towards Xu Qing's palm.
The flamingo fluttered into the air, furious, and the flames around it surged, like the scorching sun across the heavens and the earth, it screamed, and immediately pounced towards Xu Qing, as if to tear it to pieces.
After the Burning Sun Fruit arrived, Xu Qing immediately sent the Streamer Shuttle to shuttle rapidly between the magma passages, its speed was as fast as a meteor, and after he left the Streamer Shuttle, he left a silver trail behind him, which never dissipated for a long time.
After a hundred years of waiting, only for the present day, but in the end, the bamboo basket was empty, how could the flamingo calm the anger in its heart? Its body was like electricity, and its wings were lightly spread, and it had already crossed a distance of several zhang and pursued Xu Qing.
The passage loops and turns, and although the flamingo is extremely fast, the narrow and winding passage greatly limits its speed, making it difficult for it to move at full speed. But despite this, it still quickly caught up with Xu Qing, and the difference between the front and back was only a few zhang.
The flames around the flamingo were fluttering, its wings danced lightly, and the blazing flames appeared out of thin air under its wings, and then headed towards Xu Qing **** in front of him.
The flames were like a rain of meteors, and there was almost no room to dodge, and they were bound to burn Xu Qing to ashes.
Although Xu Qing could immediately stop to resist the fire rain without being injured, it was obvious that if he really stopped, he would definitely be caught up and entangled by the flamingos, and then the original plan would only come to naught.
Therefore, Xu Qing did not stay for half a moment, he used all his strength to run the true element in his body, and his speed instantly increased again. His body tried to avoid the meteor shower-like flames, and at the same time, the protective light curtain leaked out from his body, blocking the flames that emitted high temperatures.
Despite Xu Qing's best efforts to dodge, Xu Qing was still hit by several blazing flames. The flames hit the light curtain of the protective body, and the light curtain trembled for a while, but after all, it resisted the first round of attack without danger.
The huge impact force generated by the flames hitting the light curtain instead became the driving force for Xu Qing to move forward, and his speed increased again, and in a short period of time, he was even faster than the speed of the flamingo.
Xu Qing flew rapidly in front of him, although the flames were blocked by the protective light curtain, Xu Qing was also floating in qi and blood, and his face was a little pale. The more dangerous the situation, the calmer Xu Qing became, he calmed his restless qi and blood, and then rushed towards the destination at full speed.
Finally, after Xu Qing paid the price of being hit by flames several times in a row, the corner of the Jade Pagoda was finally in sight. He had never felt that time was so difficult, a breath of time, but as long and distant as a century.
When he arrived at the corner where the Jade Tower was located, Xu Qing suddenly felt like a world away, although the threat of the flamingo to Xu Qing was not fatal. But the feeling of racing against time to achieve the goal made his mind in a state of extreme tension all the time, and when the goal was finally achieved, that sense of accomplishment spontaneously arose.
Xu Qing turned the corner, and then immediately recited the mantra silently, and after the mantra was recited, the person had already appeared on the second layer of the Jade Tower. (To be continued.) )
