Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 98 Level Monster, Monster Hunting

Nie Zhaonan didn't dare to delay, as his bait would be eaten if he waited any longer. He immediately shook his sleeves and two Gengjin Divine Thunder swords shot out from his sleeves, instantly turning into two golden sword lights and flying towards the two monsters.

The two monsters didn't take the small pocket sword in front of them seriously. In their eyes, the attack of the human in front of them was just a tickle in front of their huge bodies.

The octopus monster extended one of its tentacle and waved it at the incoming golden sword light, then paid no more attention to it.

Instead, it fixed its eyes on the colorful grass in front of it, eager to swallow this magical herb into its stomach.

When the Thousand-Eyed Demon saw the flying sword coming, all of its eyes suddenly emitted a green light, which gathered into a huge beam of light and pointed in front of the flying sword.

Upon seeing this, Nie Zhaonan chuckled. It was full of flaws. After all, the intelligence of the monster that had not yet transformed was limited. It could only attack based on its combat instinct and had no wisdom at all.

The magic formula in his hands changed, controlling the two Gengjin Divine Thunder Swords that were shooting straight at him. He suddenly changed direction and flew into the air, avoiding the brutal attacks of the two monsters while circling in the air to accumulate power.

He chopped down fiercely at the octopus's tentacles and the green light column, and two golden sword lights burst out from the Gengjin Divine Thunder Sword.

At the same time, Nie Zhaonan activated the "Thunder Spirit Sword Technique" in his hand, and two flying swords immediately fell from the sky and pierced straight towards the heads of the two monsters.

As soon as the sword light came into contact with the attacking side of the monster, the golden sword light broke the thick tentacles into two sections like a rotten wood. Dark and smelly blood flowed continuously at the broken ends, and the Thousand-Eyed Monster's magical attack was also broken by one blow.

The next moment, before the two monsters could react, two "pop, pop" sounds were heard, accompanied by dazzling golden arcs of electricity, and two flying swords pierced straight through the heads of the two monsters and inserted into the ground behind them.

There were two fist-sized holes on the two heads with several cracks, which were also charred black by the Gengjin Divine Thunder emitted by the Gengjin Divine Thunder Sword. There was also an unpleasant burnt smell in the air.

Before the two monsters could even utter a roar of pain, their huge bodies fell straight to the ground, lifeless.

The power of the Gengjin Divine Thunder is naturally more than that. If it is fully activated, the entire monster will probably become charcoal, and only the monster pill will be left.

Nie Zhaonan learned the lesson from his previous fight with two Jindan cultivators, in which he used the Gengjin Divine Thunder Sword to damage the opponents' magic weapons too badly, resulting in a significant reduction in his own gains.

In this battle, he deliberately controlled the Gengjin Divine Thunder Sword, releasing only a trace of electric arc to kill the monsters, thus preserving the refining materials on the Thousand-Eyed Monster and the Octopus Monster intact.

Looking at the current situation of the two monsters, it’s just right.

Nie Zhaonan immediately took out a palm-sized white jade bottle from his storage bag and threw it into the air. The jade bottle then quietly floated in the air not far from the two monsters.

At the same time, he changed the magic gestures in his hands, chanted a spell in a low voice, and performed the soul-pulling technique. Then a ray of light appeared, pointed at the jade bottle, and shouted softly: "Go."

More than ten thin white threads shot out from the mouth of the bottle and extended towards the heads of the two monsters. These threads seemed to be illusory and penetrated deep into the heads without any hindrance.

Another sound of "Hurry!" was heard, and the white thread slowly retracted into the jade bottle. When the thread was stretched into straight lines, the souls of the two monsters were dragged out of their bodies and tied up tightly.

Even if the demon soul struggled with the remaining instinct, trying to break free from the control of the white thread, it was of no avail and was obediently absorbed into the jade bottle.

Nie Zhaonan smiled slightly when he saw this. This was a special magic weapon he made from some soul-nourishing materials called the 'Soul-Catching Bottle', which was specifically used to imprison demon souls.

The demon souls of these high-level demon beasts are indispensable materials for refining puppets. If the demon souls are not injected during the puppet refining process, the puppet will be soulless and cannot be controlled by the mind.

He controlled the two Gengjin Divine Thunder Swords to separate the refining materials from the two monsters one by one and put them into the cave.

Then, he cut open the abdomens of the two monsters, and two egg-sized monster pills appeared in front of Nie Zhaonan, one red and one green, very pleasing to the eye.

Nie Zhaonan waved at the flying sword and the demon pill, and the flying sword automatically flew back into his sleeve. The two round demon pills were held by a big hand and examined carefully.

"Yes, the demonic power in it has not been lost at all and it is preserved perfectly." Nie Zhaonan nodded with satisfaction, but he was not too excited.

With his current cultivation level at the initial stage of forming a pill, he needs to refine a pill with sixth-level demon pill as the main ingredient to increase his magic power.

The two level five demon pills in front of him can only be used to refine foundation-building pills and pills that increase the magic power of foundation-building cultivators.

However, having this gain is better than nothing. After all, it can be sold to earn spirit stones, right?
With one hand he touched the storage bag at his waist, and two small white jade boxes suddenly appeared in his palm. Nie Zhaonan put the two level five demon pills into the boxes one by one, performed a simple sealing technique, sealed the jade boxes to prevent the demon power of the demon pills from leaking out, and then he put them into the attic in the cave.

Looking at the flesh and blood of the monster in front of him, Nie Zhaonan waved his hand, and a large group of black silver gold-eating insects appeared out of thin air.

The gold-eating bug had just been summoned out of the spirit beast pen by Nie Zhaonan. When it smelled the strong smell of blood in the air, it immediately made a sharp "buzzing" sound and flew around the corpse non-stop.

After receiving Nie Zhaonan's order, they immediately rushed towards the two shapeless corpses on the ground and wrapped them tightly, as if they were wearing a suit of silver armor.

Thousands of gold-eating bugs devoured the ground, and in less than a moment, the ground became empty.

After putting the gold-eating bug into the spirit beast pen, Nie Zhaonan quickly returned to his previous hiding place, patiently waiting for the next monster to be lured by the colorful grass.

From the beginning of the battle to the end of the battlefield cleaning, the period seemed very long, but in fact, it was only less than a quarter of an hour. In the next three days, strong waves of fighting were heard from time to time on the island, but most of them only lasted for a moment, and the longest one lasted only half an incense stick of time, and the island fell into peace again.

Nie Zhaonan summoned the gold-eating worm again. After it devoured the corpse of the monster, he fed the colorful grass, which was still emitting a strange smell, to the gold-eating worm before putting it away.

"The surrounding level 5 monsters have been almost all attracted, and level 5 monsters are not very useful to me. I should switch to a more aged neon grass to lure more level 6 and 7 monsters."

During this period of time, Nie Zhaonan has killed more than ten level five monsters and has a general understanding of the attraction of the colorful grass to monsters.

This four hundred year old neon grass is most attractive to level five monsters, and also has a slight effect on level six monsters. In recent days, it has also attracted a rare level six monster - the Glazed Beast.

The monster's entire body was pale white and crystal clear. Its body, which was over ten feet in size, emitted countless milky white filaments that desperately cut through the golden sword lights that swarmed around it. It looked extremely ferocious, but it did not hold out for long and was eventually killed by Nie Zhaonan.

Nie Zhaonan immediately took out a plant of colorful grass with five leaves spread out from the cave, placed it in the center of the island, and continued his monster hunting career!

Sure enough, in the next few days, several level six monsters were lured here one after another, and on one occasion, three level six monsters attacked at the same time.

In order to prevent the three monsters from escaping, Nie Zhaonan activated the Inverted Five Elements Formation for the first time to be on the safe side, covering most of the island.

While trapping the monster, the strange smell emitted by the colorful grass was also isolated in the formation to avoid attracting more monsters.

However, it did not take Nie Zhaonan much effort to kill the three monsters. More than ten Gengjin Divine Thunder swords flashed and danced within the formation, constantly besieging the three monsters. Accompanied by golden sword energy and golden arcs, the three monsters finally fell in a pool of blood and became Nie Zhaonan's trophies.

Perhaps because the gap between the sixth-level monster and the seventh-level monster is too big, the five-hundred-year-old neon grass did not attract the seventh-level monster.

Another half day passed and seeing that there was no sign of the sixth-level monster, Nie Zhaonan fed the rainbow grass to the gold-eating insects again, then took out a six-hundred-year-old rainbow grass and waited patiently on the island.

Sure enough, just as Nie Zhaonan expected, more than half an hour after taking out the six-leafed colorful grass from the cave, a breath of monster stronger than before appeared in Nie Zhaonan's spiritual sense.

It turned out to be a blood-red "cockatoo" monster. This kind of monster is not considered a weakling in the strength ranking of level seven monsters.

Nie Zhaonan suddenly became very interested. The previous level 5 or 6 monsters could not last a few moves under him. They quickly showed signs of decline and were then killed by the extremely sharp Gengjin Divine Thunder Sword, which did not give Nie Zhaonan any satisfaction at all.

The seventh-level monster 'Cockatrice Snake' in front of him is a good opponent. It is a good opportunity for him to practice some of his magic skills in the Jindan stage and accumulate fighting experience.

After the 'Cockapoo' stepped into the coverage of the Inverted Five Elements Formation, Nie Zhaonan immediately activated the formation again, temporarily trapping the 'Cockapoo' and blocking the special smell of the colorful grass.

Immediately afterwards, Nie Zhaonan's lips opened slightly, and a series of golden Gengjin Divine Thunder swords flew out of his mouth. The last main sword that flew out was more than ten times larger than the small sword and fell steadily into Nie Zhaonan's hands.

Nie Zhaonan held the sword in one hand, while the other seventy-two Gengjin Divine Thunder swords were flying and circling in the air beside him, with an extremely powerful momentum. Under the shining sunset, Nie Zhaonan's back standing in the air looked like a living sword immortal.

On the island, Nie Zhaonan's fight with the 'Demon Crown Snake' lasted for an hour and a half.

During this period, the entire island shook slightly, and the waves hitting the coastal reefs were broken into foam and scattered high into the air.

From time to time, fierce explosions could be heard from within the formation, flames shot out, debris flew everywhere, and golden sword lights flashed non-stop. Along with the roars of the Demon Crown Snake, the man and the beast were completely engaged in a fierce battle.
Until in mid-air, the seventy-three Gengjin Divine Thunder Swords gathered together with the main sword as the center, forming a giant golden sword several feet in size, with the tip of the sword pointing straight downwards, falling like a meteor, disappearing in a flash, and the fighting on the island finally subsided.

After extracting the demon soul from the demon crown snake, collecting the weapon-refining materials and demon pills on its body, and releasing the gold-eating bugs to devour the remaining flesh and blood, Nie Zhaonan closed the inverted five elements formation and waited for the next prey to arrive.

In the next few days, after killing three more level seven monsters, Nie Zhaonan put away the formation tools of the inverted five elements formation set up on the island, turned into a white flying rainbow, and shot towards the sea in the north.

The sea breeze still blew over the island, but this island was no longer as peaceful and ordinary as before. There were traces of fighting everywhere on the ground, and holes of various sizes covered the entire central area. There was no intact place anymore. The thick smell of blood in the air, and no one knew how long it would take for it to completely disappear.

After leaving, Nie Zhaonan naturally went to find another island suitable for hunting monsters. He also set up a large formation and continued to kill monsters, extract souls, and obtain elixirs.
Nie Zhaonan spent six years in this exciting, boring, dangerous, but extremely rewarding life of hunting monsters.

During this period, he had killed over two thousand monsters of all levels. The largest number of them were of course level five monsters. The total number of level six and level seven monsters was no more than four hundred. Level seven monsters were even rarer, with only more than seventy of them. This made Nie Zhaonan quite helpless. More than four hundred inner elixirs could not meet his needs for practicing in the Jindan stage, so he had to continue hunting monsters.

On this day, Nie Zhaonan was suspended in the air outside a giant island, more than ten miles away. From a distance, the island seemed not much smaller than Tianxing City.

There are several extremely rare mountains on the island, which are nearly ten thousand feet high and reach straight into the sky. Moreover, these mountains are extremely steep and smooth all over. From a distance, there is no grass on them, and they are bare, as if they are several stone pillars towering into the sky.

Almost starting from the middle of the mountain, the upper half of the mountain is hidden in the clouds and is completely blocked by white clouds, but a general outline can still be seen.

These were just some of the points that Nie Zhaonan was concerned about. What concerned him the most was that there was not even a single vegetation on this giant island, not a single trace of green to represent vitality. The island was filled with monotonous gray and white, and there was not even the slightest fluctuation of spiritual energy.

"I hope this is the island!" Nie Zhaonan turned into a white light and quickly approached the huge island in front of him. He spoke lightly, his tone full of expectation.

During these six years, he has discovered several islands that were similar to the one before him, but he left disappointed each time. He did not find the 'Bi Ling Island' that he was looking for, which was rich in spirit stones.
