Chapter 368 Top Grade Earth Dragon Vein, Purple Stone Egg
Half a month later, on the lower floor of the Shixian Cave, Zhang Lie stood in a huge gap between the mountain walls. The slender five-color sword flower circled up and down around his body, killing all the ghosts and ghosts that rushed around him. They were all smashed into pieces and turned into wisps of black air.

On the near side of the stone wall in front of him, there is a vermilion strange substance that looks like liquid and solid. This is the Dragon Vein of the Spirit Mine.

Although it is not easy to find the fifth-tier mid-level Earth Dragon Vein Spirit Mine, in the lower level of the Corpse Immortal Cave with a suitable environment, as long as you search long enough and far enough, you can always find it. The large area in front of Zhang Lie is enough. Most of the mission requirements have been completed.

With the tactic in hand, a beam of sword light shot out from the sword beside him, just like cutting, cutting off all the vermilion-covered rocks, and then Zhang Lie covered it with the aura of the Qiankun bag and collected it.

He is only responsible for collecting, as for the later refining is not his job.

As time went by, Bu Luan, Jin Jiu, Xiao Muyun, and Zhang Lie became more and more eager, so the original team separated again, but each other's actions must be within the range of the companion's spiritual sense. It can also be regarded as the greatest degree of security.

bang.

With the cutting of Feijian, the mountain wall in front of him collapsed in a chain, flying sand and rocks all of a sudden. In order to pursue efficiency, Zhang Lie's choice was inevitably a bit violent mining, and it was inevitable to cause such a mountain collapse. Since the scale is not too large, Zhang Lie's body protection magic power expands, and at the same time, he retreats.

But at this moment, between the collapsing rocks, suddenly there was a long strip of shadow, which rushed towards Taoist's body like lightning.

On the bowl in Zhang Lie's left hand, the five-light bracelet burst out in response, and five-color brilliance swirled around it first. This fourth-level top-grade magic weapon has both offensive and defensive capabilities, and it can deal with most situations under normal circumstances.

But that long strip of shadow, with a powerful penetrating force, tore apart the five-color brilliance of Zhang Lie's body in an instant, biting at him.

Seeing this, Zhang Lie frowned slightly. With his dantian as the center, the platinum and gold qi suddenly spread, and the fifth-order top-grade magic weapon, the Rijing Wheel, was driven by the innate stellar energy. It is inferior to the alchemy power of most alchemy monks, and the nissei wheel is a treasure passed down from generation to generation in the Xuanbing Island lineage.

Clang.

With Zhang Lie as the center, the platinum two qi suddenly turned into a circle of golden sand like a sun disk, blocking the extremely fast and penetrating shadow.

And it wasn't until this moment that Zhang Lie could see clearly that it was a strange rock snake with a body made of rock and dark red snake eyes.

"Stone snake?"

With a whisper, a sharp sword suddenly appeared in Zhang Lie's hand, and he snapped the one in front of him with a quick swing. Even if it was cut off, the stone snake was still twisting after falling to the ground, biting its head, Absolutely fierce.

At the same time, Zhang Lie flew high and fully unfolded his divine consciousness. Amidst the surrounding smoke, dust, and mist, a large number of rock-bodied red-eyed stone snakes woke up in all directions, and they almost surrounded him at this moment. .

"Stone snake is a kind of snake spirit and demon soul that can be cultivated and advanced by itself. There are one to seven levels. According to the records in the ancient books, there are nine-level stone snakes in the legend of the upper world. However, due to the difficulty of advancing, in the Xuanhuang World It is not easy to see a third-order stone snake, and even if there is no fifth-order stone snake in front of you, I am afraid it is not far behind."

Zhang Lie stared intently at the giant snake that slowly emerged from the dust in front of him, and all the information he knew about this strange monster flashed through his mind.

The monks in the Xuanhuang Great World have not figured out until now whether the stone snake is one or a group. It is said that it is one. Stone snakes above the third level often appear in the form of snakes. It is said that it is a group. As long as you find it Kill that snake spirit demon soul, and all the stone snakes will be wiped out.

Zhang Lie had already got the Earth Dragon Vein Spirit Mine he wanted, and there were no rare spiritual objects on the Stone Snake. He didn't want to waste mana needlessly in the Corpse Immortal Cave, so he controlled the flying sword and retreated.

"hiss!"

However, Zhang Lie wanted to leave, but the opponent in front of him refused to allow him.

Accompanied by the roar of the leader of the stone snake, the tide of rock snakes in all directions covered the sky like a layered sea tide. During this process, the intensity of the evil spirit around the stone snake continued to rise. At this moment, Zhang Lie was completely sure that the This stone snake is already an evil creature of the fifth-order Golden Core Realm.

Just when Zhang Lie was planning to use his sword skills fully and break through regardless of consumption.

A huge wave of spiritual thoughts suddenly rushed into Zhang Lie's sea of ​​consciousness. Zhang Liexiu's heart sword technique is not afraid of this kind of spiritual attack.

But it was precisely because of the skill of cultivating the heart sword that Zhang Lie sensed that there was no killing intent in the consciousness of the giant stone snake below.

"What do you mean? What is this?"

The golden ball around Zhang Lie slowly rotated, and he stood in the void holding his sword. However, he looked to the left and right, but no stone snake attacked. I feel chills in my heart.

But objectively, apart from the first stone snake, the other stone snakes did not attack.

"hiss!"

At this moment, the giant stone snake directly in front of the bottom spit out the snake letter and made a sound, and then slowly backed away.

When it was halfway back, it poked its head out, stared at Zhang Lie for a moment, and then backed away.

Seeing this, Zhang Lie thought for a while and then retracted his sword. He even withdrew the innate qi and the sun essence wheel, and followed the giant stone snake into the cave. Although Zhang Lie also knew that the stone snake was good at earth escape, this Entering the opponent's territory in this situation is very dangerous.

But Zhang Lie chose to believe in his own judgment:
"The innate intelligence of snake-like monsters is not very high, and it is unlikely that they can play this kind of trick to invite you into the urn. If this is the case, it should be asking me."

Even if the snake-type monsters have cultivated to a very high level and opened up their spiritual wisdom, they will mostly act in a straight-forward style.

Following the giant stone snake, he walked extremely deep into the cave that appeared with the collapse of the mountain wall, and finally came to a rather open underground space.

On the central stone platform in the underground space, there is an equally huge but slightly smaller stone snake. Some stone snakes touched it intimately, and after a while, it turned around and stared at Zhang Lie with its dark red snake pupils, and then looked at the slightly smaller stone snake, where the scarlet ground dragon veins crystallized.

"hiss!"

"What, the earth dragon veins turned out to be a disease of the stone snake? The quality of this earth dragon vein is many times better than those outside."

At this moment, looking at the two giant stone snakes in front of him, and the companion spirit mine on the slightly smaller stone snake, Zhang Lie fully understood what they meant.

He flew up and slowly approached the two fifth-order stone snakes.

"You mean, let me cut off these dragon veins for it?"

While talking, Zhang Lie made a chopping gesture with his hand. This time the giant stone snake didn't make a sound, but watched Zhang Lie and nodded slowly.

It can actually understand human language.

"Then I need to hurt it, and I'm not sure I'll be able to cure it."

Following Zhang Lie's words, the red light in the eyes of the giant stone snake in front of him turned sharp, only to be lightly touched by the slightly smaller stone snake beside it.

The next moment, the body of the giant stone snake entangled up, tightly coiled his wife, and roared at Zhang Lie at the same time.

Zhang Lie is not threatened by it. He reached out and touched the blood crystal on the stone snake. At this moment, he had already figured out the cause and effect: this stone snake of the golden core level did not dare to provoke those who came and went. Corpse Immortal Cave Mansion, a powerful monk of Jindan and Nascent Soul series.

Fearing that someone would turn his back on him, he would capture him.

But the spread of blood crystals on his wife's body has become more and more serious. At this time, he accidentally met himself who could cut through the body of a fifth-level stone snake, and his mana was not too strong.In other words, it doesn't have much choice.

Zhang Lie stepped forward to touch it with the palm of his hand, spreading it into the scanning of the spiritual consciousness, and then he did not make a move until he closed his eyes and adjusted for nearly an hour. With Zhang Lie's body as the center, three phantoms suddenly appeared, but this The three phantoms merged into one again suddenly, and in the next moment, an incomparably condensed sword light was cut out from Zhang Lie's palm.

This sword light, which seems to be thinner than a hair, cut into the body of a slightly smaller stone snake with a posture that penetrated the world without thickness and seemed to have room for maneuver. The snake is a monster of a very strong body, not to mention that the opponent's realm is higher than the actual cultivation realm of the Taoist, so even if it has been prepared for a long time to use the method of refining the sword into silk, the cutting process will not be too difficult. Not easy.

And the slightly smaller stone snake was extremely painful when the flying sword entered its body, hissing and screaming, but it was firmly suppressed by the giant stone snake, making it difficult to struggle.

Fortunately, before the sword was drawn, Zhang Lie had already investigated it very clearly and knew it well, so Jian Guang walked around without any hesitation.

boom.

After a while, large pieces of blood-colored dragon veins fell off and were put into his Qiankun bag by Zhang Lie's sleeves.

After cutting off all the dragon veins, Zhang Lie observed at the same time. Although the slightly smaller stone snake was weak, its spiritual consciousness did not completely weaken after the shock, that is to say, it did not die.

So for this kind of monster, this level of treatment is tantamount to success.

"The entrusted matter has been completed, and in this case, I will leave."

The quality of the earth dragon veins contained in the Qiankun bag is unprecedented. Zhang Lie intends to refine and collect this part of the earth dragon veins privately, and does not plan to use them to deliver the mission of the Moon God Society.In this way, the refining and storage work is of course completed as early as possible.

"hiss!"

Just when Zhang Lie was about to leave, the stone snake in front of him suddenly neighed, but it was not the giant stone snake that slowly climbed down from his wife, but the slightly smaller stone snake.

After neighing, it adjusted slightly, and then slowly spit out a stone egg with some dark purple patterns from its mouth, and held it in front of Zhang Lie.

"Mine? Thanks then."

Zhang Lie was taken aback for a moment, then reached out to take the stone egg.

It's just that it's not the spirit beast snake egg that I imagined in my mind just now. This purple stone egg is completely dead and lifeless. For a while, Zhang Lie didn't know what it was for.

But at this moment, seeing that Zhang Lie had already taken the stone eggs, the group of stone snakes around the cave seemed to be diving into the water, and quickly disappeared into the stone wall, and the same was true for the two giant stone snakes, they kissed each other intimately. Touched lightly, then turned around and burrowed into the rocks, and soon disappeared.

In Stone Snake's view, those high-grade dragon veins are diseases, and they are not considered rewards if they are avoided.

The purple stone egg was the reward for Zhang Lie's attack this time, but they didn't explain what the purpose of this thing was. It was completely dead, and it was clearly a dead egg.

Zhang Lie held the stone egg in his hand, stood there for a long time, finally put away the stone egg and shook his head, never thought that he would have such an adventure in this corpse fairy cave.

At this moment, there was a ray of light coming from the direction behind Zhang Lie. When the light stopped, the figure of Kunxiu Buluan appeared. The lady in plain robe looked around. It is just like the light, hiding and sneaking, they devour minerals, and can perfectly integrate with the area where they live for a long time. Therefore, even though Bu Luan is not a young child who has just entered the world of cultivating immortals, he can't see any useful information. I could only ask:
"Fellow Daoist Shi, why did you suddenly leave the sensing range of your spiritual sense so far away, what happened here?"

Although Bu Luan and Zhang Lie are in a group, although they are separated, they are still connected with each other in order to support each other.

"Before, I found some ground dragon veins nearby, but they were guarded by some stone snakes. I fought with them, and I came here after fighting and walking."

Suddenly, his expression changed, and he looked behind Bu Luan intently. At the same time, Bu Luan also turned around in his heart, and saw a flash of light in the distance, and soon a green light flew towards him.

Buluan knew that this was a letter from Feijian, and with a flick of his sleeve, a cloud of green light flew out, wrapping it in green light, and pulled it off.

The green light shrank in the rays of the sun, and it turned out to be a small green sword with a red jade slip attached to it.

Bu Luan took the jade slip from the sword, lowered his head and immersed his consciousness in the jade slip.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, Jin Jiu has found a large-scale land dragon vein. This is really good news!"

As he spoke, Bu Luan threw the red jade slips to Zhang Lie, and Zhang Lie quickly invested in his consciousness and read the information inside.

"Well, with these earth dragon veins and the spiritual mines we found before, it is enough for us to deliver the mission, let's go."

The corpse fairy cave is not a good place to stay for a long time, Zhang Lie thinks so, even Bu Luan who is full of hatred thinks the same way.

Although the four of them searched separately, each of them had talismans that could be used to determine the location.

Zhang Lie and Bu Luan each took out the array disks they carried with them, and after making measurements, they compared their positions, and then they all turned into light and flew towards the measured directions.

The spiritual consciousness of the monks in the purple mansion is already quite far away, and the distance between the two can be widened. In this way, the distance between Xiao Muyun, Jin Jiu, Zhang Lie, and Bu Luan is of course very far, so that they can be more efficient. Find the treasured spiritual objects you need.

Therefore, as the two of them turned into two rays of light and left this place, they flew towards the marked direction.

After turning around seven or eight passages and the mountainside in a row, and flying for more than a hundred miles, the two of them suddenly saw a large open space in front of them, and there were piles of abandoned ore everywhere.

However, this ancient mine is not the key point. The key point is that there is a stone pillar erected in the center. On the rough and rough top, a corpse that has been drained of blood is tightly bound there by iron chains.

"Kim Nine!?"

At this moment, Jin Jiu's life was cut off, his head was hanging down and he couldn't see his face clearly, but his abdomen was cut open with a sharp knife, and his internal organs were placed around in a strange way, forming a faintly terrifying formation.

The situation in front of him was weird and terrifying, not to mention Bu Luan who is a woman, even Zhang Lie felt a wave of surprise when he was caught off guard.

"How is it possible that Jin Jiu died here? We just calculated his location. How long did it take to fly here?"

Although she was afraid, Bu Luan was not an ordinary woman. She gritted her teeth and flew over to find some clues.

However, a palm behind him suddenly pressed on his shoulder.

This gave Bu Luan a shock, if he hadn't realized who was behind him in time, he would have almost shot.

"Be careful, he didn't die in an ordinary way. Instead, he was cast into a blood sacrifice by someone using evil magic from the devil world!" Zhang Lie kept scanning the left and right, and said coldly at the same time.

"Blood sacrifice, what is that?"

"I also read from a classic book that all kinds of cultivation resources in the ancient demon world are extremely scarce, and the competition is fierce and cruel. The ancient demons of the demon world use each other as spiritual objects and perform various cruel blood sacrifice methods, often with all kinds of incredible It can even summon the possessive blessing of the power of the Demon Ancestor, but I have only seen this kind of thing in books, and this is the first time I have seen such an example."

Zhang Lie has successively studied the orthodox inheritance of the two large sects of Jinhong Valley and Danyang Palace, and also obtained the ancient magic scriptures and the lifelong orthodox inheritance of the old man Youjue. His vision and experience are extremely strong.

Bu Luan also came from a big family, and later went to the sect to study, but he was far from being able to compare with Zhang Lie in terms of vision and experience.

"Then let's go next"

"go!"

Before Bu Luan could finish his words, Zhang Lie spoke decisively.

According to the content recorded in the old man Youjue's bamboo book, the ancient demons who can cross the two worlds are usually not weak in cultivation. The competition in the ancient demon world is cruel, and the skills they cultivate are even more strange.Even if the cultivation level is comparable to that of a human monk, he will definitely die against an ancient demon of the same level.

Among the worlds of the Nine Realms attached to the Xuanhuang Great World, the Ancient Demon Realm and the Zhongtian Realm are the most powerful. It is said that the decline of the Ancient Sword Cultivator has something to do with these two realms.

After finishing his sentence, Zhang Lie ignored Bu Luan at all, and turned into a ray of light and flew to the distance. Bloody enmity, she has never thought about switching to magic arts, but the magic way is not so easy to switch to, there is not enough relationship, there is not enough benefit, ordinary monks want to switch to the magic way, and those who are ruined by those magic way monks can be found everywhere yes.

There are good people in the magic way, but there are really not many, and there are even fewer who can cultivate to the top.

The two lights, one in front and the other in the back, flew towards the middle of the corpse fairy cave, and then they encountered a stone pillar and a man bound by iron chains to let blood on the stone pillar.

Xiao Muyun, this sleek and sophisticated cultivator at the top of the Purple Mansion also died here. Just like Jin Jiu, he was disemboweled and his internal organs were taken out and placed around. It looked like the formation of a cultivator, but Zhang Lie knew clearly in his heart that it was neither. This was the blood sacrifice formation of the ancient demon.

Any Taoism in this world, at its elementary and middle stages, is learned from the world and used for the world. This is true of Taoism, and so is magic.

After this period of escape, Zhang Lie has quickly calculated in his mind. Looking at the blood sacrifice altar in front of him, Zhang Lie slightly frowned and took out the array plate to start calculations. At the same time, he said to Bu Luan beside him:
"I don't care if you recite the scriptures and chant mantras, or use some Taoism to block emotions, temporarily suppress your fear emotions, and the demons are all over the place. The more you fear them, the stronger they will be."

At this moment, Xiao Muyun's body suddenly spread and cracked with blood lines, and the next moment, the body shattered like glass.

A large number of golden vicious insects flew out amidst the blood-colored atmosphere and rushed towards Zhang Lie and Bu Luan.

Although he couldn't recognize what kind of vicious insect it was, Zhang Lie certainly wouldn't underestimate the fact that a cultivator at the top of the Zifu was used as a blood sacrifice material.

"rise."

Zhang Lie let out a low shout, and made a formula with one hand in front of his forehead. Suddenly, cold light glared from all over his body, and then 49 sword lights of five colors flew out, enveloping him and Bu Luan in an instant. .

Originally Zhang Lie's Five Elements Sword Formation used five flying swords to conjure nine phantom swords each, showing fifty flying swords. With some advanced comprehension, the Flying Sword Fifty will be reduced by one, leaving a trace of inadequacy, and the mystery and power of the Five Elements Sword Formation will be greatly improved.

Therefore, even though those golden insects were extremely ferocious, they were all thrown out after touching the sword array around Zhang Lie, making it difficult to attack.

However, despite this, Zhang Lie's tense spirit did not relax in the slightest. He searched all around with his own consciousness, and even sacrificed the Taiyin bone flag to display the supernatural powers for the purpose of destroying the law, but still found nothing.

"The only ones who can restrain their aura to such an extent are Golden Core cultivators, Golden Core ancient demons? Then it may be difficult to escape today without paying some price."

At this time, Buluan on the side was also using various methods to attack the golden insects outside the sword formation, but no matter how hard she tried, she would at most beat those evil insects to the ground and fall to the ground, and it would not be long before It flew up again, and it was difficult to really complete the kill.
