Chapter 222 Tail Line

The Black Crow Ridge is thousands of miles in circumference, covering a large area, most of the places are lofty mountains, and there are occasional deep lakes and streams in the meantime, coupled with the endless emergence of demon beasts, it is not easy to travel here. And among the most of the trial disciples who entered the mountain this time, the vast majority of them would not have an extremely precious flying magic weapon that could be used by Ning Yuan Realm cultivators, so most of the Ling Xiao Sect disciples who participated in the trial of the Hundred Mountains Realm were walking among the mountains and looking for it, and under the double temptation and risk of spirit grass and demon beasts, they worked hard for that dream in the future.

Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu are almost the same, their net worth seems to be okay, but they also don't have the kind of treasures that can travel in the sky, so in the next few days, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu have been trekking through mountains and rivers in the Black Crow Ridge Mountain Range.

But maybe it's because the two of them have reached an agreement and have a common goal, so the speed at which they walk is not slow, the reason is that the two of them almost ignore the possible gains along the way, and they don't deliberately look for spirit grass, and when they encounter demon beasts, they mostly avoid bypassing, and they are just in a hurry.

In the final analysis, compared to the Tianqi Zhu Guo and the Iron Winged Black Scorpion, the value of most of the spirit grass demon beasts in the Black Crow Ridge is completely incomparable. Don't say that you can get both, as long as you get one of them casually, then the harvest in this Hundred Mountains Realm trial, not to mention the direct outstanding, but entering the top five or even the top three of the most important should be no problem.

The key is that Tianyu Zhu Guo and the Iron Wing Black Scorpion are naturally excellent, but an extremely powerful fifth-order demon beast, with just these two people, at most plus a little black, can they really fight?

It sounds like the gap in strength is so big that it can't be bridged by courage alone.

So when he was traveling on the road, Shen Shi asked Zhong Qingzhu this question bluntly, what made Zhong Qingzhu actually have the confidence to covet a fifth-order demon beast?

"Under normal circumstances, if I encounter this kind of fifth-order demon beast with extremely powerful combat power, of course, I can only retreat, and maybe I can't even escape. Zhong Qingzhu was also very calm, and did not shy away from the huge difference in strength between herself and the iron-winged black scorpion, but then she continued, "But when I saw that iron-winged black scorpion that day, it seemed that something was not quite right with it. ”

According to Zhong Qingzhu, that day she came to the Baishan Realm to explore, deep into the depths of the inaccessible wild mountain range of Black Crow Ridge, encountered a lot of powerful demon beasts, and accidentally discovered the very hidden cave after a battle, and after careful investigation, she found that the situation in this cave was very unusual.

First of all, there are no demon beasts in this cave that is not small and quite deep, it seems that all the demon beasts in this vicinity have subconsciously avoided this cave; secondly, there is not a single spirit grass that can be found in the area of at least a hundred zhang around this cave, not even the lowest and most ordinary first-grade spirit grass, it seems that all the spiritual energy that can be used to grow in the spirit grass has disappeared near this cave.

With this surprise and curiosity, Zhong Qingzhu sneaked into the cave, and after taking a few detours and wrong paths, she finally found a very large underground cave in the depths of this cave, and the precious Tianqi Zhuguo, which is said to have a miraculous effect on the cultivation of human monks, grows on the ground there. At the same time, another fifth-order demon beast with a huge body and a hideous appearance, the iron-winged black scorpion, was guarding this spirit grass inch by inch.

"That iron-winged black scorpion doesn't look like it's doing very well. Zhong Qingzhu recalled the scene at that time and said to Shen Shi, "If I remember correctly, at least one of the wings on the back of the Iron Wing Black Scorpion was broken, and the other one was also quite damaged, and there were many places on the scorpion armor on the body showing a dark brown color, which looked dirty, not like it was stained by digging through the soil on weekdays, but with a lot of carapace cracks around those stains, it looked more like a mass of blood." ”

"Are you hurt?" Shen Shi frowned and said, but in his heart he immediately thought of the Iron Wolf King Spider he saw in the mysterious valley after he found Xiao Hei in the Gaoling Mountain Range. The Iron Wolf King Spider that condensed the Demon Pill that time was also a very powerful fourth-order demon beast, but because of the strange reason of Hou Sheng, he was injured a lot from the beginning, so in the end, Shen Shi could be said to be weak over strong, after cutting off those little spiders, he took Xiao Hei to kill the Iron Wolf King Spider.

If that's the case, it doesn't seem entirely hopeless to deal with a badly injured iron-winged black scorpion.

Zhong Qingzhu nodded and said, "I think so too, but I was unprepared that day, with this strength at the moment, even if the iron-winged black scorpion is seriously injured, it is not my match, thanks to the demon beast seems to value Tianqi Zhuguo very much, and I don't want to stay away for half a step, which is why I escaped with my life." ”

Shen Shi glanced at her with a little concern, then pondered for a moment, and said, "It's strange, why does that iron-winged black scorpion value Tianyu Zhuguo so much?" After a pause, he said again, "I have also seen in some ancient books before, saying that there are some high-level demon beasts that have extraordinary spiritual intelligence, and they often specially seek to devour some rare high-grade spiritual grasses, absorb the essence of them and then enhance the demonic power of the Dao, and it is also possible that the mutated demon body has mystical evolution, and the most powerful result of the legend can even have a slight possibility of directly upgrading the grade." ”

"Is the fifth-grade demon beast promoted to the sixth-rank......" Rao is Zhong Qingzhu had always been calm, and she also gasped when she heard this, but then she frowned and said to Shen Shi: "In that case, why didn't the Iron Winged Black Scorpion immediately swallow the Heavenly Flame Fruit that day, but guarded it tightly?"

Shen Shi smiled bitterly, spread his hands and said: "I don't know this, what I said just now is also my own guess, whether this is the case or not, I still have to go over and take a look." After speaking, his mind suddenly moved, and he said, "But maybe it was that the Zhu Zhu Fruit was not fully ripe that day, and the medicinal properties were not the highest, so the iron-winged black scorpion couldn't hold on?"

Zhong Qingzhu was silent for a moment, slowly bowed his head, and said, "This is very possible. ”

Shen Shi moved his body and said with a smile: "Forget it, don't think about it, anyway, just go and take a look." If we can succeed, then it is naturally the best, even if our trial and examination school this time is completed ahead of schedule, even if it fails, the demon beast will not chase after Zhu Guo, and our danger must not be too great. ”

Zhong Qingzhu said "um", nodded and continued to walk forward with Shen Shi, but after walking a few steps, suddenly Shen Shi spoke: "Qingzhu, there is something I want to ask you." ”

Zhong Qingzhu's heart jumped suddenly, and he said, "What?"

Shen Shi said: "You met the iron-winged black scorpion once that day, and you retreated in defeat, and you yourself said that the difference in strength was huge. But why do I see you going over again this time, could it be ......" He turned his head, his eyes were bright, and said, "Could it be that you have already thought of some way to deal with that iron-winged black scorpion?"

※※※

Zhong Qingzhu hesitated for a moment, then took a breath, nodded, and said, "It's okay." After I went back that day, I thought about it repeatedly, and after thinking about it a few times, I did think of a way. ”

Shen Shi's spirits perked up, and he hurriedly asked, "What method?"

Zhong Qingzhu said: "Formation." ”

"Formation?"

Zhong Qingzhu bowed his head and said, "Yes, that iron-winged black scorpion refuses to leave Tianyu Zhuguo, so as long as I keep a sufficient distance, I can set up a few formations in that cave." However, with my Dao practice, I still can't arrange a powerful killing array that can kill a fifth-order demon beast in one fell swoop, so I thought about using several formations to consume the demon beast's combat power together, and try to see if I can grind it to death in the end. ”

Speaking of this, Zhong Qingzhu's gaze turned to Shen Shi, and said: "It's just that if you really want to talk about it, this method is not very certain, whether the power of the formation can exhaust the demonic power of the Iron Winged Black Scorpion, or even whether it can trap it, I can't say, the most troublesome thing is that I don't have the ability to attack from a distance, and I can hold the spirit sword in close combat, so it's too dangerous, and if you're not careful, your life will be in danger." Until I saw the Five Elements Technique you used in the Fighting Method before......"

Shen Shi suddenly realized, almost in the blink of an eye, he understood what Zhong Qingzhu meant, and used the power of the formation to entangle and trap the iron-winged black scorpion, and then the two of them attacked and consumed together, especially Shen Shi's own Five Elements Spell can stand in a safe enough place to attack from a distance, not to mention that the power is not low, he also has several weird witchcraft spells, if they are used together, even if it is a fifth-order demon beast, as long as it is seriously injured and in poor condition, it is really not impossible to die.

Thinking of this, Shen Shi nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I really feel a little hopeful when you say this." ”

Zhong Qingzhu smiled slightly and said softly: "Yes, I also think it's really good that the two of us cooperate like this." ”

Shen Shi raised his eyes and looked forward, only to see that the two of them had walked to a high mountain cliff at this moment, and there were rolling mountains in front of them, and the farthest place of dark clouds was perhaps the most dangerous and attractive. He laughed, kicked with his foot, kicked off a piece of gravel at his feet and flew off the cliff, falling down the towering peak, and said to Zhong Qingzhu with a smile: "Hurry up and go, let's try to get there as soon as possible, otherwise if the iron-winged black scorpion eats Zhu Guo, it will be too late to regret it." ”

Zhong Qingzhu smiled and walked behind Shen Shi, who was rushing forward, Xiao Hei ran over and took a look at the edge of the cliff, only to see that there seemed to be a big stream flowing down the valley below, and there was nothing worth noting, so he snorted twice, and chased after him in a hurry.

※※※

The stone fell from a high altitude, and fell into the stream with a "poof", splashing the old high water with a bang, but it was sprinkled on a woman who was washing her hands and tidying up her face on the shore.

The woman was He Xiaomei, seeing that this time it was sudden, He Xiaomei was caught off guard, and retreated with a scream, but the clothes on her body were still a little splashed. She looked a little annoyed, raised her head and looked at the side of the cliff on the high mountain, but saw that there was no half of a figure, and she couldn't help but curse indignantly, and said, "Who is so immoral that they can throw stones so casually?"

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly heard a movement behind her, as if she had been alarmed by something just now, and a sound of footsteps came.

He Xiaomei frowned, looking a little helpless, turned around and looked back, and said at the same time:

"What the hell are you doing, why have you been following me all these days?"
