Chapter 1785 Woodworm(1/2)
‘Huhu...’
A cold wind blew through the wilderness.
First, there was a silver-white sword light passing by from high in the sky, and soon there was another green light.
As the two escaping lights flew past, the vegetation on both sides swayed, and a figure flashed past on each side.
Qin and Sang, the four of them, were led by the sword-wielding master, keeping a certain distance from each other to avoid sudden surprises and being caught off guard.
In fact, they had only been in Nie Yuan for three days. Normally, they would not encounter god-level ferocious beasts. This move was just out of habitual caution.
Powerful ferocious beasts basically only wander in the depths of the Netherfield, rarely appear on the edge of the Netherfield, and it is even rarer to break into Gu Sanji.
If a god-level ferocious beast appears nearby, someone as powerful as a Taoist disciple will suffer a severe headache.
Although Nakamoji, Shiroishiji and Gusanji are connected, there are still large areas of borders with the Niehai Sea and Niehara, and they are often attacked by ferocious beasts.
As far as Qin Sang knows, the mountain gods and river gods under the rule of Daoting are only in the transformation stage.
Unless the Taoist court sends all the immortal officials of fourth grade and above to guard the border, there will never be peace in the territory.
'boom!'
Qin Sang pressed one palm on the forehead of an ape demon, and the ape demon fell to the ground in silence.
His figure floated past without pause, his eyes like lightning, patrolling the area.
Along the way, although there were many ferocious beasts, he had few chances to take action.
The ferocious beast is not completely irrational, but as time goes by as his cultivation improves, he is gradually invaded by the old energy of the six heavens until he is lost.
Low-level ferocious beasts are just a little more ferocious than monster beasts, more cruel and bloodthirsty, not much different.
Even real ferocious beasts still have the instinct to seek good fortune and avoid evil. When they sensed the aura emitted by Qin Sang and the others, they turned into birds and beasts and dispersed.
When a monk enters the Nie Yuan, it is also impossible for him to get lost in it in a short period of time.
Even if you stay in the depths of Nie Yuan for more than ten years, you will not lose your mind.
But once the limit of the altar is exceeded, it is extremely difficult to get rid of the six-day old energy in the root of the soul. This change is subtle, and the monks may not feel the slightest difference for the time being, which does not hinder their practice, but it has become a hidden danger.
If you follow the path and deepen, you will eventually explode and regret it.
Therefore, when monks enter Nie Yuan, they must make plans in advance or prepare enough elixirs.
At first, the four of them communicated through voice messages from time to time, but then it was a boring rush.
After traveling for more than a month, the four of them went deeper into the Niyuan, and the surrounding scenery became more and more wild.
"There is a mountain ahead. Further ahead, there may be ferocious beasts with similar cultivation levels as ours. It's quite quiet nearby. Let's adjust our breathing here for a while."
The master holding the sword came over and suddenly accelerated, everyone followed, and soon they arrived in front of the mountain.
Seeing the scene on the top of the mountain, Qin Sang's eyes flashed with surprise, but the sword-wielding master and the others jumped down to the top of the mountain as if they were not surprised, and each found a stone and sat down cross-legged.
Qin Sang arrived last and landed on a black stone next to everyone.
The black stone under him was square and sharp-edged. Qin Sang spread his consciousness and found that there were many such black stones nearby, but most of them were seriously damaged and scattered on the surrounding hillsides.
These black stones cannot occur naturally and are obviously man-made.
Observing the traces on the top of the mountain, Qin Sang made a new discovery, "Here... seems to be the remains of a Taoist temple..."
This made Qin Sang quite surprised. This place was not near Gushanzhi. The four god-transforming monks walked for a month. Although they did not try their best to travel due to various concerns.
The Yuanying monks would definitely not dare to stay here for a long time. Who would build a Taoist temple in such a place?
Moreover, Qin Sang noticed that the ruins here were very old. It was an ancient temple. Traces showed that it was occupied by ferocious beasts after it was abandoned. For some reason, this lair is now abandoned again.
"Could it be that there were monks in Nie Yuan before?"
Qin Sang's thoughts flashed, and he even suspected that this place, like Gu Sanji, was originally the sphere of influence of the Taoist sect.
With this kind of speculation, Qin Sang could not help but have more associations.
Since there is a Taoist temple, it means that this place was once suitable for monks to practice. Why did it become an evil place?
At this time, the master holding the sword turned his eyes and said: "Fellow Taoist Qingfeng, please pay attention to steady your mind later."
"Thank you fellow Taoist for reminding me, I know how powerful I am."
Qin Sang slightly cupped his hands, put away his distracting thoughts, and sat down cross-legged.
With the Jade Buddha under his protection, he didn't have to worry. He still had to put on a show and go into the depths of the Nie Yuan to occasionally take a spiritual elixir.
After adjusting their breath, everyone continued on their way.
Unexpectedly, not long after they left the mountain, they encountered their first god-level ferocious beast!
'Roar!'
The roar came from the front, perhaps because it was too far away, so it seemed a bit dull.
But the powerful power contained in the roar made the four people feel alarmed and stopped immediately.
It's night time.
The moon is like water.
All they could see was that the mountains and fields in the north were dark, and there seemed to be large dark clouds in the sky. The wind was surging, and they were slowly pressing towards their direction.
Master Youhuang flicked his jade fingers, and a green light flew out from his fingertips, turning into a talisman in mid-air and disappearing into an ancient tree on the ground.
The ancient tree withered instantly, and then a phantom-looking wooden man jumped out from the dead tree. Others could hardly feel the wooden man's aura, or it could be said that the wooden man's aura blended into the forest.
The wooden man bowed to Master Youhuang, burrowed into the ground, and disappeared.
Qin Sang noticed Master Youhuang's movements and couldn't help but take a second look.
When they encountered ferocious beasts before, they were basically taken care of by him and Master Guyun. Master Youhuang rarely had the chance to take action.
At this time, she was casting a magical talisman, but the altar was not revealed.
"This talisman is one of the true talismans of Master Youhuang. He is best at detecting it. The result will be available later..."
Explanation of voice transmission by a real person holding a sword.
Only the divine talisman that carries the talisman is called the true talisman of destiny. Master Youhuang has received the third-level talisman, so there are three true talismans of destiny.
Qin Sang pondered for a moment and asked the questions in his heart.
In the eyes of the other party, he is a casual cultivator who made a lucky breakthrough, and it is normal for him to be short-sighted.
The sword-holding master explained: "You will know after you receive the third-level talisman. When you reach the Dongxuan Dharma position, the urn altar will gradually become stable. As long as it is a spell that you have already mastered, you do not need to summon the urn altar again even if you cast the true talisman of your life.
But if you don’t understand the talisman thoroughly, you must call out the altar and use the power of the altar. Of course, this is only for the Golden Seal Altar..."
Hearing this, Qin Sang nodded secretly. No wonder the sword-wielding master was not seen summoning the altar before.
One of the advantages of the Golden Seal Altar compared to the Soldiers and Horses Altar is that there is no need to arrange troops in advance, and the curse can be issued as soon as you recite it.
"However," the master holding the sword suddenly changed his tone, "it is said that if the altar of soldiers and horses is cultivated to the depths, it can also save the step of summoning soldiers and horses, directly communicate with the soldiers and horses in the altar, and form an formation instantly."
Master Guyun sneered and said: "I have never seen such a master. Who knows whether it is true or false."
As he spoke, a green shadow jumped out of the ground and fell into the palm of Master Youhuang's hand.
Master Youhuang showed joy on his face, "It's a wooden dragon! Its aura is only higher than ours, and there are no other demon lord-level ferocious beasts nearby."
"Wooden dragon? Fellow Taoist, do you want to take the demon elixir of this dragon to make an altar?"
The master holding the sword guessed the intention of the master Youhuang.
What Master Youhuang practices is the wooden walking dharma basket.
To build a third-level urn, the required spiritual objects are either rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the world, or the blood essence, bones and demon elixir of the demon lord.
How can the Demon Lord of Guifang Kingdom be so easy to kill?
The right ferocious beast can be found but not found. No wonder Master Youhuang is delighted.
"In the middle stage of the Dongxuan Dharma Stage, what do you two think?" Master Zhijian looked at Qin Sang and Master Guyun.
Master Guyun moved his neck and burst out with strong fighting spirit, his attitude was self-evident.
Qin Sang also nodded in agreement.
The four of them are all in the early stages of becoming gods. There should be no danger in hunting a ferocious beast that is comparable to a thunder turtle.
"Thank you three Taoist friends for making this happen," Master Youhuang smiled and bowed.
They immediately flew towards the ferocious beast and were discussing their plan when they suddenly noticed the aura of the monks below.
The master holding the sword said in a deep voice, "Send these people away first."
They came here for the Demon Lord and did not want to reveal their identity prematurely.
…
Inside a cave.
The three Taoist priests were busy, with anxious looks on their faces.
One person called out the urn altar and continued to hit the magic talismans towards the entrance of the cave, gradually forming a dark wall of light at the entrance of the cave.
To be continued...
