Volume Two, Shuang Shihui, Wu Lianyisheng, Chapter 84
Continuing up the road, Xu Chenglin came out of the peach blossom forest. He noticed that the temperature around him gradually began to get colder, and there were many fewer trees.
The lavender flowers on the tree disappeared, replaced by red leaves.
After slightly adapting to the increased gravity, Xu Chenglin continued to move upward. Within two hours of walking, he did not encounter any obstacles. No! It should be said that all the obstacles along the way were removed one by one.
The reason why it is said to have been destroyed by others is because there are traces of fighting along the way. The holes created by the spell bombardment and the cutting marks on the surrounding trees with sharp weapons all indicate that these are the methods of practitioners.
These quite fresh traces of the fight just confirmed Xu Chenglin's previous thoughts. Someone had already set foot on the mountain peak before him.
With this conclusion, Xu Chenglin slowed down. Someone was there to clear the obstacles for him, so he was in no hurry to move forward.
To be honest, it's not that Xu Chenglin doesn't want to move forward quickly. It's that he knows that the reality is not as easy as imagined.
From the bottom up of the mountain, the gravity is gradually increasing. At this point, the gravity on him is still bearable. But that is because his cultivation level is not low, and he has the body refining technique to strengthen his body.
It can be seen that other people may not be able to cope with it as easily as Xu Chenglin. Regardless of the other dangers encountered on the mountain, the problem of gravity alone is enough to worry everyone. If you continue to go up, the gravity on the mountain will increase.
It's even more unimaginable when you reach the top of the mountain.
After walking upward for about half an hour, Xu Chenglin's consciousness noticed a sudden violent spiritual energy disorder in front of him.
There are only two reasons for spiritual energy disorder in such a place: first, the birth of a treasure causes the surrounding spiritual energy to change; second, someone is launching a spell to cause the surrounding spiritual energy to gather, thus causing spiritual energy disorder.
Narrowing his eyes, the aura on Xu Chenglin's body slowly disappeared, and he used the breathing technique quietly.
Slowly approaching in the direction of the disordered spiritual energy, Xu Chenglin clearly heard the sound of fighting. He concentrated his eyes and was able to underestimate the fighting scene.
There are a total of three practitioners, two men and one woman. They are all dressed like members of the Phantom Sect. The woman is not beautiful in appearance, but she has a heroic spirit. The two men are ordinary in appearance, but the expressions on their faces have their own characteristics.
One had a stern face, while the other had a smile on his face. Their expressions did not change at all even during the battle.
The three of them stood there, and a green python as thick as a human waist was surrounded by three people in the center. The scales of the green python shimmered in the sun, and it was obvious that the scales had amazing defensive capabilities.
Surrounded by three people in the center, the green python's coiled body was constantly turning. The snake in its mouth was hesitating from time to time, obviously it was always ready to attack the three people on the periphery.
The three people on the periphery were also very smart, and their positions were constantly moving. Although the green python was always ready to attack, it could not find any loopholes for the three of them. One python and three people were in a stalemate.
"It seems like they don't need my help. They should be able to solve it themselves."
With this thought in his mind, Xu Chenglin turned his attention to the field again. Just by observing carefully, he discovered something strange.
The bodies of the three people were shining with different auras, and they were obviously using their own defensive methods. Looking at the movements of the three people, Xu Chenglin always felt a sense of disharmony.
After observing for a while, he finally saw some clues. These three people were suppressed by gravity, and their strength was somewhat reduced. On the contrary, the movements of the cyan python were not restricted by gravity at all, and their movements were extremely flexible.
.
There are many green pythons around
The potholes and sword marks caused by the spell were everywhere. However, there were no scars on the green python. It was obvious that the previous attacks by the three people did not cause any substantial damage to it.
Through his spiritual investigation, Xu Chenglin learned that the three monks were all at about the ninth level of forged body, while the green python was only at about the eighth level of forged body.
The gravity on the mountain peak greatly reduced the strength of the three monks. However, the green python's strength was not weakened at all because it had lived on the mountain peak for a long time and adapted to the gravity.
One party is unable to adapt to the environment and its strength is weakened, while the other party is performing normally and has the environment to help. As one goes and the other goes, the situation of the three is not good.
Thinking of this, Xu Chenglin sighed. He didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but he understood the truth that when everyone adds firewood, the flames rise. In the process of climbing to the top of the mountain, he also needs a few companions.
The higher you go up, the stronger the gravity becomes, and the suppression of your strength becomes even more severe. Xu Chenglin is self-aware, and he believes that even he will be greatly suppressed at the top of the mountain. If he encounters any more obstacles, it may be difficult to reach the top of the mountain.
If he has several companions, he may move slower, but they will also share some of the pressure along the way.
Furthermore, these three people are members of the Phantom Spirit Cult. Although Jiuhua Academy did not explicitly state that it was in alliance with the Phantom Spirit Cult, Master Qing Shang’s actions undoubtedly hinted at this.
Having made his decision, Xu Chenglin did not hesitate anymore. Holding the sword in his backhand, he quietly sneaked to the edge of the battlefield.
The stalemate between three people and one python was finally broken on the battlefield. The fiery red orb, light blue flying sword and a small copper hammer kept hitting the green python.
The green python, on the other hand, dodges these attacks with agility. Occasionally, it relies on its defense power to survive without incident. From time to time, the green python will spit out venom to fight back.
The three people used all their attack methods, but the green python's defense was so strong that there was nothing they could do against him. After a long battle, the three of them were a little anxious. The green python seemed to have noticed the anxiety of the three, and showed a sly look in a very humane way.
.
After fighting for a long time, the movement speed of the three people unknowingly slowed down a bit. The green python seized the opportunity and shook its head to spit out a stream of poisonous mist in all directions.
The dark green poisonous mist spread outwards, instantly blocking the sight of the three people. The three people around were shocked and took back their magic weapons to defend themselves. Seeing the surging poison, the three did not dare to stay any longer and hurriedly retreated.
.
Because the incident happened suddenly, the woman among the three retreated slightly slower. The green poisonous mist in front of her surged, and a ferocious head suddenly popped out. The snake spit out its huge mouth and bit the woman violently.
.
"Junior sister, be careful!"
The two men shouted in unison, their stern expressions turned into anxiety, and their eternal smiles turned into despair. The two men were far away from the woman and had no time to rescue her.
The woman knew her situation, but in her panic she forgot how to react. She couldn't help but close her eyes and helplessly waited for death to come. At this moment, countless thoughts and countless emotions passed through her mind.
There was sadness, joy, and most of all all kinds of regret and annoyance that arose in her heart.
"Maybe it would have been better if I had made a decision earlier. Both of them are not bad!"
At this critical moment, three whistling sounds came into her ears. Following the whistling sound, an unpleasant neighing sound came out. Listening to this sound, the woman seemed to be able to feel the pain of the owner of the sound.
"Who is it? Forget it! He is going to die soon anyway."
The woman thought this way, but she felt a little strange that the expected pain did not appear.
"What are you doing standing still? Why don't you get out of the way!"
A loud shout woke the woman up, and at the same time she felt a pair of strong hands embrace her and pull her away.
The woman subconsciously opened her eyes, and what came into her eyes was a face that was usually full of smiles. This face had experienced despair and surprise today.
Now the smile on this face disappeared, replaced by the joy of surviving the disaster. The woman subconsciously looked in the direction of the green python. She saw a young man holding a long sword, constantly volleying towards the green python with wind blades.
.
The stern-faced man looked at the two people's intimacy, and his expression became a little sad. He looked at the two people in a daze, and his heart was full of bitterness.
Xu Chenglin did not dodge or dodge, and quickly drew his wind blade towards the green python. His previous attack hit the green python on the head. Although it did not break its defense, it also caused considerable damage to the green python.
Seeing that a single wind blade was not enough to break through the green python's defense, Xu Chenglin secretly cast a spell. Every three ordinary wind blades automatically combined to form a more powerful wind blade. This fusion attack method was exactly what Xu Chenglin wanted during this trip.
One of the things to rely on.
After returning from the far north ice field, Xu Chenglin used his spiritual consciousness to unlock the seal on the jade box of the poor old man. There was only an exquisite and beautiful jade slip in the jade box, and the jade slip only recorded a spell.
The name of this spell is very common, called Multiple Waves. It can combine multiple spells of the same type to increase the power of spell casting.
Once a spell is used, its power is fixed. The precious thing about multiple waves is that the power of the released spells can be changed. The fly in the ointment is that the power of the fused spells is not doubled. The upper limit of the power of spell fusion is
, only twice that of the original spell. Even so, this power cannot be underestimated.
"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you come over and do it together!"
Seeing that the three of them had not yet reacted, Xu Chenglin couldn't help but shout to them. It wasn't that he couldn't kill the green python alone, he was just waiting for a few people to take action, or in other words, this was a test he gave to a few people.
If several people kill the green python together, it means that the three of them are not bad in nature, at least they will not retaliate. If the three of them turn around and leave or have the idea of taking advantage of others, then Xu Chenglin will not be polite to them.
Trust between practitioners is mostly built by fighting side by side, and Xu Chenglin also wanted to build trust between several people through this battle.
Living up to his hope, the stern man was just stunned for a moment and then recovered. A light blue flying sword flew out instantly with a whistling sound like the waves, and landed directly on the green python.
The cold man integrated all his frustration into his attack. He put all his strength into this attack, and the green python's scale defense was actually cut through by this sword, and dark red blood spurted out.
"Junior sister, rest for now and watch me avenge you!"
A look of anger flashed across the face of the smiling man, and he joined the fight in a flash. A small copper hammer hit the blue python with a huge force.
The heroic woman shook her head, and a red orb appeared in her hand after flipping her wrist. She was a resolute person and would not hide behind others. She knew that her movement was not as fast as that of others, so she did not step forward.
The driving orb hung high above the green python's head, and flames kept falling down. Although it was not enough to break the green python's defense, it tightly restrained the green python.
The green python was restrained by the orb, and its dodge speed couldn't help but slow down. The attacks from the other three people frequently fell on the green python. The green python no longer had the calmness it had before, and it kept neighing.
