Unsurpassed Spirits

Chapter 139 Bone-eating fish
Everyone fell into silence. Luo Qingli thought for a while and said: "Maybe the formation restrictions here are too sophisticated and far exceed my current ability. Or maybe here..."

"This is a special place." Before Luo Qingli finished speaking, Shi Mo continued.

Xiao Muxue sneered and said: "Nonsense! You don't need to tell me how special this place is. Anyone with eyes can see it!"

Shi Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, a bit of sarcasm flashed in his eyes. There was no need to waste words with a woman with long hair and short knowledge.

Xiao Yi calmed down and looked at Luo Qingli, "Fellow Daoist Pei, since there are no traces of the formation around, what should we do now? We can't just stay here and do nothing, right?"

Luo Qingli looked around, except that the pumice stone under his feet was still emitting a gleaming light, illuminating the surrounding area several feet square. Beyond that, there was still the vast depth of the sky.

Just like an oil lamp in the dark night, they are at the position of the wick. The area around the wick is bright, but the places where the light cannot reach are completely unknown to them. Even if she gathers her consciousness into a ray and heads towards I probed in one direction and reached the limit without any gain.

To be honest, Luo Qingli didn't have any good ideas at the moment.

She was silent for a moment and said: "No matter how special the place is, if you can come in, there must be a way to get out. Since the pumice here can move, it means that this place is not static. It's just how to control this change. We still have to worry about it for the time being. I don’t know… My opinion is to stay the same in the face of changes.”

"This..." Xiao Yi frowned and looked at each other with Xiao Muxue, obviously hesitant.

None of them could guess what would appear in the unknown land. The more so, the more fearful and fearful they became.

It was as if there was a knife hanging over their heads now, and it might fall off at any time. As Luo Qingli said, if they didn't do anything and just passively accepted the attack, their uneasiness would undoubtedly be slowly eliminated. expand.

Luo Qingli continued: "It just so happens that we were all injured before and our spiritual power was also depleted. We can use this time to recover first, so that we can better deal with what happens next."

Xiao Yi breathed out softly and nodded solemnly.

As things stand now, that's all it can do.

Xiao Yi walked aside, took the elixir and began to heal his injuries and regulate his breathing.

Xiao Yi had no opinion, and Xiao Muxue also agreed. Xie Fangwu, who had broken a leg, had no other choice. As for Shi Mo, his eyes fell on Luo Qingli vaguely, and he didn't know that he was thinking about it. What.

Seeing this, Luo Qingli raised his eyebrows and asked, "Fellow Taoist Shi, do you have a better idea?"

"No." Shi Mo replied simply.

The arrangement of the female cultivator surnamed Pei was very reasonable and exactly what he wanted. If he were asked to come up with a charter at this time, it would probably be the same.

I heard the female cultivator surnamed Xiao say before that this Pei Yao is from the Jade Toad Sect, one of the three sects in Nanzhao, and he is probably an elite disciple...

Shi Mo stopped thinking and sat down cross-legged. He needed time to recover his spiritual power.

Shi Mo ordered the foundation-building puppets to stay by his side. Although it seemed that everyone was on a united front for the time being, they were not on the same page after all, and there was still grudge between them, so he had to be careful.

Everyone had different thoughts. They were on guard against others and unexpected situations. After three days of constant vigilance, Luo Qingli's condition had basically recovered.

In the past three days, nothing strange had happened. Everything around him was incredibly calm, but the feeling of being spied on still lingered, and even got stronger.

After all, Xiao Yi was also a monk in the late stage of foundation building. His injuries were not serious and he recovered after three days. Xiao Muxue and Shi Mo's faces also improved a lot. Only Xie Fangwu lost a lot of blood because one of his legs was cut off. , even if the bleeding was stopped in time, she was still confused these days, sometimes awake and sometimes confused, Xiao Muxue always stayed by her side, whispering comfort.

"Thank you, junior sister, don't be afraid. When we get out, I will take you back to the sect immediately. Master and uncles are well-informed. There must be a way to recover your legs. Even if they cannot be recovered, as long as you reach the Nascent Soul stage, you will be able to recover." You can reshape your body and you will be fine..."

Xiao Muxue didn't care whether Xie Fangwu could hear it or not, and kept mumbling. Xiao Yi looked over and hesitated, but didn't say anything.

Xie Fangwu originally had nothing to do with this matter, but got involved with them out of friendship. This had something to do with Xiao Muxue, so it was normal for the younger sister to feel guilty.

This kind of thing can only be made up for after we go out.

Time passed quickly, and they stayed in this place for another full month. The physical fitness of the monks was already extraordinary. All the major and minor injuries on their bodies had been healed. Even Xie Fangwu's broken leg had basically grown. Well, apart from the difficulty in moving, there is nothing serious.

But they are still trapped on this pumice stone.

Although it is said that one should be content with what one has come, one or two days does not matter. As time goes by, people will inevitably have some strange mood swings, especially in a place where the sky and the earth are not working.

The first person who couldn't stand it was Xie Fangwu.

There are many female cultivators in the Qiu Shui Sect, and the sect has a standard when recruiting disciples. Those who are ugly will not be accepted. If any female cultivator from the Qiu Shui Sect is selected, their appearance will be above the average level of female cultivators in mainland China.

Even if Xie Fangwu is not the only one in the sect, she has never lacked the popularity of male cultivators. But now, even if she is trapped here for no reason, she also has a broken leg and has become a useless cripple...

Xiao Muxue said it nicely. After going out, she asked the elders to find a way for her, but what if there was no way?Then wouldn’t her life be useless?

She is just a three-spirited person. It is extremely difficult to cultivate to the point where the Nascent Soul can reshape the physical body. Even if she can cultivate to that point, will she have to drag this crippled body with her until then?

The more Xie Fangwu thought about it, the sadder she became. Finally one day she couldn't control her emotions and broke down crying.

"I want to get out of this damn place! I don't want to stay here!"

Xie Fangwu grabbed Xiao Muxue's shoulders and shook her hard. While shaking her, she made a fuss: "Why should I go to Xiao's house with you? Why should I help you catch the thief? If these had not happened, my legs would not Duan, I won't be here now, it's all your fault, it's all your fault..."

Xiao Muxue pursed her lips and said in a difficult voice: "Thank you, junior sister, I will make it up to you after I go out..."

Her face was haggard and tired, and her expression was melancholy, which added a bit of melancholy. Xie Fangwu was even more angry, "Compensate? How do you want to compensate? What compensation do you want? Will you also break a leg to accompany me? The one that is broken is mine. The legs are not yours, you are just standing and talking without back pain! And it is not certain whether we can go out! This is all because of you!"

Xiao Muxue had nothing to say, but Xiao Yi couldn't listen anymore. He took a few steps forward and pulled Xiao Muxue behind him, and angrily said: "Thank you, fellow Taoist, we are very grateful that you are willing to help, and we also express our sincere condolences about your leg." It’s a pity, but it’s meaningless to say this here, and please understand that the initiator of all this happening is not our Xiao family, so even if you want to vent, don’t find the wrong person!”

Xie Fangwu was stunned and looked in Shi Mo's direction.

Shi Mo raised the corners of his lips in a half-smile, his angular facial contours appeared cold and mean, and there always seemed to be an evil spirit lingering between his brows.

Xie Fangwu's heart trembled, and he looked away angrily.Shi Mo was in the late stage of foundation building, and there was a puppet in the foundation stage next to her. Even if she wanted to blame others, she didn't have the courage, so she could only deceive herself and put the blame on Xiao Muxue. And when she saw Xiao Muxue who was intact and still charming, Xie Fangwu couldn't help but feel unbalanced.

Xiao Muxue stood behind Xiao Yi, her head lowered and silent.

Luo Qingli pursed her red lips slightly and flicked her fingertips. As an outsider, she couldn't say much about the rights and wrongs here, but in this situation, internal strife was extremely undesirable.

However, Shi Mo seemed to have discovered something interesting. He folded his arms and watched the excitement with interest, completely unaware that he was the root of all evil.

Xie Fangwu made a fuss for a while, but couldn't go on anymore. He silently wiped his tears and cried.

Xiao Yi was too lazy to pay attention to her. He turned around and looked at the crowd and said, "It's been a month and there's still no movement. Do we have to keep waiting?"

If they continue to wait, it's not that they don't have the patience, but the longer they wait, the more anxious they will become. If things go on like this, their mood will become unstable. For people like Xie Fangwu, it is obvious that there is a problem with their mood and they are in trouble.

Luo Qingli frowned and thought, she had indeed been thinking about this issue these days.

They are desperate for change. Since nothing around them has changed, they can only break the current deadlock artificially.

This place is forbidden to air, so there is no need to consider places further away. Luo Qingli studied the pumice stone under his feet for several days, but could not find any specific clues. So the only thing left was the corpse-forming spring under the pumice stone.

Luo Qingli cast his gaze downwards, and Shi Mo was also looking at the Corpse Spring.

When Xiao Yi saw the two of them acting in unison, his heart suddenly thumped, "It's not what I thought, is it?"

Shi Mo hummed softly: "Is there any other way out?"

"This is the Corpse Transformation Spring!" Xiao Yi shook his head repeatedly, "And there's no guarantee that the way out is in the Corpse Transformation Spring."

"When the mortal body comes into contact with the Corpse Transformation Spring, it will definitely rot into a pool of pus, but the defensive magic weapon can withstand it for a while." Luo Qingli said solemnly: "There is indeed no guarantee that the exit will be in the Corpse Transformation Spring, but Likewise, we cannot be sure that there is no way out of the spring."

This was a gamble. If the gamble won, they might be able to leave safely. If the gamble failed, it wouldn't be a dead end. If it didn't work out, they could just go back to the pumice stone.

Xiao Yi was silent for a while, thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

You only have one life, and you have to treat it carefully.

In the end, Xiao Yi agreed to the idea. Xiao Muxue had no objections. Xie Fangwu was a little reluctant, but compared to staying alone on the pumice stone, of course she chose to be with everyone and still have a companion.

The group prepared for two days, discussed countermeasures, and adjusted their condition to the best.

Xiao Muxue took out a piece of white silk and hung it on the edge of the pumice stone so that they could climb back again if they could not find the exit.

Then the group of people sacrificed their defensive weapons one by one and jumped into the zombie spring.

Luo Qingli wrapped herself tightly with Yunhe White Lopa. The spring water eroded the Lopa little by little. The white Lopa's aura shone brightly, but it completely blocked the corpse spring. She swung her sword and opened the sword energy barrier. .

After reaching the foundation building stage, the power of swordsmanship has improved, and with the understanding of sword power, Luo Qingli's sword energy barrier has become even more indestructible.

The rest of the people also used their own magic weapons to make sure that not a drop of corpse-transforming spring water leaked in.

It was difficult to see anything in the gray corpse spring, and it was impossible to tell the direction in it. Each person held a luminous pearl in his hand for illumination, making it easier to identify each other in the spring water.

Xiao Yi could clearly sense the pressure that the defensive magic weapon had to endure in the Corpse Transformation Spring. If this continued, even if he was in the late stage of foundation building, he wouldn't be able to hold on for too long.

He suggested: "Several fellow Taoists, why don't we get together in one place, share a defensive weapon, and then switch to another person when the spiritual power is exhausted, and take turns to replace it, so that we can last longer."

Xiao Muxue and Xie Fangwu both agreed, and Luo Qingli had no objection. Shi Mo hesitated but had no objection.

This is indeed the least labor-intensive solution.

The defensive weapon used by Xiao Yi was a bronze bell. He played a few finger spells. The bronze bell instantly grew larger, covering the five people in it. The wall of the bronze bell was translucent at the moment, and everything around it also became smaller. Can see clearly.

Xiao Muxue asked: "Where should we go?"

Spring water like this usually has a spring eye, and the location of the spring eye will undoubtedly be a breakthrough. Although the corpse spring is very calm, it is not stagnant water, and there is also a weak undercurrent surging in the spring water.

Luo Qingli felt it carefully, pointed in one direction and said, "There is water flow there."

Xiao Yi followed the direction she pointed with his consciousness, and apparently discovered it. He activated the bronze bell and headed in the direction she pointed.

Shi Mo secretly glanced at Luo Qingli and found that the five senses and six senses of this female cultivator were actually much stronger than those of monks of the same level. Even compared to the monks in the later stages of foundation building, she was not far behind.

In the current small team, except for him and Xiao Yi, who was in the late stage of foundation building, the rest were all female cultivators. One of the two from the Qiu Shui Sect was already half disabled, and the other was emotional and simple-minded, and had nothing to say.

But this fellow Taoist Pei needs to pay attention to something.

Shi Mo secretly had a thought.

A group of people wandered in the corpse-turning spring. Two hours later, Xiao Yi retreated. Shi Mo took over the defense work, while Xiao Yi took the Qi Restoration Pill to restore his spiritual power.

After most of the day, the fluctuations in the surrounding spring water became obvious, indicating that they were close to the spring, but at this time something unusual appeared.

Luo Qingli discovered that there were signs of life in the spring water. At first, it was just a slight fluctuation, but then the movement became louder and louder. Black shadows quickly passed through the water, which seemed to be some kind of fish.

Xiao Yi probed carefully, and his expression suddenly changed: "Bone-eating fish! How could there be bone-eating fish in the Corpse Spring!"
