Chapter 16: The Legend of the Burial Sword Pool
"Miss Su is here. Li Gaoyuan shouted.
When Li Mo came out, Su Yan smiled and said, "Senior Brother Mo, I'm here to bring you good news." ”
"What's the good news?" asked Li Mo.
Raising his fingers, Su Yan smiled and said: "Our Su family is going to hold a Dou Dan Conference and invite all the young Dan masters in the county to participate, and the prize for the first place is 'Liuli Xuanhuo'." ”
"Glass Xuanhuo...... Li Mo's eyes lit up slightly.
The black charcoal Xuanhuo is very ordinary, only suitable for laying the foundation, and this glazed Xuanhuo can be regarded as the best grade of the Xuanhuo, and if you use it to devour the black charcoal Xuanhuo, you can make your own Dan Dao great.
He said, "Thank you Miss Yan for telling me, I will participate in this Dou Dan Conference." ”
"Hey, if Senior Brother Mo participates, he will definitely be able to win the first place. Su Yanwan said.
Li Mo smiled faintly and said, "I'm not worried about the Dou Dan Conference, it's just that my family has gone this way, and I feel that this stone elephant heavy sword is no longer easy." ”
The stone elephant heavy sword is 300 catties, which was obtained at the beginning of the Rock Realm during the entrance ceremony.
Now that his cultivation has reached the middle stage of the Iron Bone Realm, his strength has increased by more than ten times, and the stone elephant heavy sword has reached the time of elimination.
Su Tie said with a smile: "Brother Mo's divine power is amazing, three hundred catties of heavy weapons are too light, and if you calculate it from cultivation, it will be at least eight hundred catties." I don't know which store sells 800 pounds of heavy equipment?"
"Yes, there must be, but Li Mo, this kid is very picky, maybe he can't find a suitable one when he walks around the whole city. Li Gaoyuan shrugged.
"That's right, the stone elephant sword made by Brother Mo was made by the martial artist in the courtyard, and it was not of the same level as the one in the blacksmith shop. Now to find high-quality third-class weapons, I am afraid that you can only obtain them in the Treasure Pavilion. Cycad said.
"Treasure Pavilion......
Li Mo frowned slightly, even if he was capable now, if he wanted to get together the honor points of entering the Treasure Pavilion in exchange for weapons, it would take several months, which was too long.
"Burial Sword Pool!" Su Yan said suddenly.
"Burial Sword Pool?" all three of them looked over.
Su Yan said: "Hundreds of years ago, there was a master caster in the county, who was famous in Zhenzhou City. But this person is so withdrawn, hidden in the mountains, I heard that the last thing he forged was a thousand-pound heavy sword. And before he died, he threw all his sword weapons into the pool, which was called the Burial Sword Pool. ”
"Where is the Burial Sword Pool?" Li Mo immediately became interested.
Su Yan replied: "According to rumors, it is in the depths of the Jiuqu Cave. ”
"Hearing Miss Su say this, I remembered hearing this rumor. This Jiuqu Cave is one of the eight dangerous places in the county town, the hole is a hundred miles deep, twists and turns are difficult to walk, for hundreds of years because of the legend of the burial sword pool, there are not a few explorers, but either missing, or they are in vain, no one has ever found a clue. Cycad said.
Li Mo said with great interest: "Then let's go and explore this Jiuqu Cave." ”
"Okay, if we find it, then all the things left by this master will be ours!" Li Gaoyuan said excitedly.
"I'm going with me too!" Su Yan said happily.
Li Mo nodded, and said, "It's best to bring the musk rabbit with you, this little thing may be able to play a role." ”
So, early in the morning of the second day, a group of four people rushed to Jiuqu Cave.
It wasn't until the afternoon that the four of them arrived at their destination.
Located in the depths of the valley, the Jiuqu Cave is like the mouth of a wild beast, exuding a yin and evil atmosphere, and on the Baizhang stone wall where it is located, the surrounding large stone paths are full of vines and weeds.
The cycads took the lead and walked into the cave.
The light reflected by the fire fold kept moving the scene inside the cave forward.
The vines also stretched inward along the cave, like poisonous snakes, which made people palpitate.
Li Mo and Su Yan were in parallel, and Li Gaoyuan was behind.
It was only a hundred feet deep into the cave when suddenly there was a loud vibration in front of me, and then thousands of bats passed from above, black and pressed like clouds.
When the bats flew by, the four of them continued on their way.
It didn't take long for several forks to appear, each of which was extremely deep and filled with various symbols, apparently left by the pathfinders of the past.
"Just the first one. Li Mo made a decisive decision, pulled out the flying knife and made a mark on the wall.
So the four of them entered the first fork, and after walking for a long time, the fork in front of them appeared again, and Li Mo took the leftmost one.
Forks in the road keep appearing, and the terrain is constantly decreasing.
I don't know how long it took to walk, but the four of them finally reached the end.
The cold stone wall blocked the way, and the cycad checked it, shook his head and said, "A dead end." ”
"No wonder everyone knows that the Burial Sword Pool is here, but only the four of us are turning here, I'm afraid there are hundreds of thousands of forks in the road, if you look for it like this, you won't be able to find it for a year. Li Gaoyuan sighed.
Li Mo said, "Didn't you find a noteworthy thing?"
"What's the matter?" all three wondered.
Li Mo said lightly: "There are no brute beasts here. ”
"That's right, except for the bats at the entrance, it's been a long walk to say the least, and it's not surprising to encounter any brute beasts in this kind of cave, but there is not one. Li Gaoyuan slapped his palm.
Li Mo said: "There are many possibilities in such a situation, but, you see, the little rabbit is shaking. ”
"Shivering? I thought it was afraid of the cold. Su Yan was surprised.
Li Mo said with a smile: "When the musk rabbit is afraid, the musk fragrance on its body will be released in large quantities, and you can distinguish it by smelling it carefully." ”
After mentioning this, the three of them found that sure enough, the smell of the musk rabbit was much stronger than before.
"What does Senior Brother Namo mean is that it is afraid of something?" Su Yan suddenly realized.
Li Mo bowed his head slightly and said, "Exactly, if my inference is correct, there is a powerful brute beast in the depths of this Jiuqu Cave, which is enough to make the surrounding third-class brute beasts fearful. In all likelihood, this is the reason why so many explorers have disappeared. It's not that they didn't find the location of the burial sword pool, but they didn't come back. ”
"No matter how powerful it is, since we're here, we won't leave empty-handed. Li Gaoyuan shouted with his fists raised.
"The little rabbit is afraid, which means that the brute is nearby, let's take another fork in the road to see. Su Tieti yì said.
So, the four of them returned, groping their way through the forks.
Because it was determined that only one brute beast existed, the movements of the four of them were much faster.
When he came to another long passage, suddenly the little rabbit's ears stood up, and his whole body trembled.
"Senior Brother Mo......" Su Yan snorted in a low voice.
Li Mo bowed slightly, signaling everyone to be careful.
At the end of the passage, there is a stone hall.
On one side of the stone hall, a small underground stream passes, and beside it grows a large clump of grass and trees, bearing green fruits the size of pigeon's eggs.
"Qingling Fruit!" Li Gaoyuan said happily.
"Wait, that's not the green spirit fruit that boosts cultivation, it's the green and red poisonous fruit. Li Mo said in a deep voice.
"Green and red poisonous fruit?" Li Gaoyuan was stunned.
Li Mo said: "There is only a slight difference between this thing and the Qingling Fruit, the food is highly poisonous, if you think it is the Qingling Fruit and take it directly, you will soon be poisoned." ”
"In this way, I am afraid that many people's disappearance is also related to this green and red poisonous fruit. Cycad said.
Walking down the stone hall to the depths, you can see a lot of bones along the way.
In such a gloomy place, there were corpses and bones everywhere, and the wind was gusting, and from time to time there was a ghostly roar.
Rao is Li Gaoyuan and both of them held their breath, not to mention Su Yan, holding the musk rabbit tightly with one hand and pulling the corner of Li Mo's clothes with the other.
Only Li Mo looked calm and walked forward.
Soon, another huge stone hall appeared in front of me.
In the stone hall, there are a large number of vines and poisonous fruits, and there are many corpses and bones on the ground, and various weapons are scattered.
Just as the four of them went deep into the stone hall, a drop of white liquid suddenly dripped from the front and fell to the ground, making a sizzling sound when it landed, and the ground seemed to be scorched.
The four of them hurriedly looked up, and suddenly saw a huge web on the top of the stone hall, and there was a giant human spider in the middle.
The human spider's feet are ten zhang long, its upper body is like a giant, its head is like a giant, its head is full of sharp horns, its skin is covered with thick black scale armor, and its lower body is like a spider, and it has eight legs, and its tip is like a claw.
"The Black Armor Human Spider is still at the boss level!"
Li Mo said in a deep voice, and the heavy sword was in hand.
Li Gaoyuan and the three of them were also taken aback, the black-armored human spider was definitely a terrifying existence standing on the top of the third-class brute beasts, and had the terrifying ability to prey on the power of tigers and lions.
It is rumored that anyone who is targeted by the black armor spider will never be able to escape.
"I'll take the lead attack, Gao Yuan and Cycads will assist. Once we go to war, Miss Yan, you will run out of the hall!" Li Mo said.
"Good. Su Yan nodded nervously.
"This thing is good at onslaught, so be careful to dodge its attacks, and don't get caught in the cobwebs it spews. When Li Mo spoke, he put his arrow on his bow.
"Whoa—"
The feathered arrow turned into a rainbow of light and shot straight at the black-armored human spider.
At the same time, the cycad's arrows also came out of the string.
"Plop-pounce-pounce-"
The tip of the black-armored spider's tail moved, and two clouds of white light shot out, sending two sharp arrows flying out and sticking firmly to the stone wall in the distance.
"Whoa-whoa-whoa-"
Li Mo and the others shot sharp arrows in a row, but they were all shocked by the cobwebs.
In just a moment, the black-armored human spider had landed in the hall, waving its scythe-like arm and rushing towards Li Mo.
"Xuanbajin, Blooddevouring Sword!"
Li Mo let out a deep sigh and swung his sword to meet him.
"Bang-"
With a muffled sound, Li Mo was directly shocked and flew out and landed five or six feet away.
"It's so strong, it's not the same level as the five warrior-level mountain bandits at all!"
Li Mo clammed his lower teeth hard, and pressed down the blood that gushed into his throat.
"Thunder Trick Tiger Thorn!"
"Vajra Body, Dust Sword!"
Li Gaoyuan and the two of them suddenly attacked left and right, causing the attack of the black-armored human spider to be stunned, and the knife arm swept away, which was fierce and amazing.
The three of them besieged the black-armored human spider, and they were in danger for a while.
Su Yan looked even more atmospheric outside, and he didn't dare to come out.
Li Mo fought the brute beast with a sword, and Dacheng's blood-devouring sword erupted with triple and even quadruple gravity, but every time it hit, it was shocked and flew out.
Finally, he found an opportunity to get close to the black armor spider.
"Bone Breaker!"
He let out a deep sigh, and the strength of the True Yuan activated, and a heavy fist slammed into the chest of the black-armored human spider.
The brute beast was clearly shocked, and Li Mo roared, and stabbed a sword into its chest.
The black-armored human spider staggered to the ground, and several people breathed a sigh of relief.
