After searching for about half an hour, we finally stopped at the entrance of a cave.
Looking at the dark hole in front of him, Mo Juren looked a little solemn.
The fifth-level monster, the golden-backed monster mantis, is as powerful as a human monk in the pill formation stage. How can he deal with such a powerful being?
I remember that in the original work, Han Li saw this monster for the first time and almost died from it. Fortunately, the spirit insect monster had very low intelligence, so he managed to escape.
After comprehensive consideration, he is indeed not suitable for contact with the other party now.
However, he was extremely coveted for the demon body materials of the golden-backed demon mantis, especially a fifth-level demon blood, which he must obtain. On the contrary, the storage bag left by the pill-forming monk was not very attractive to him.
Of course, this is only a relative term. It records many secret methods of cultivating and driving spiritual insects, all of which are secrets that Yuling Sect does not pass down. No matter what, he will not give up.
But, how to get it?
After pondering for a moment, he suddenly thought of something. There was a flash of light in his hand, and a dark object emerged. It was the top-grade magic weapon 'Spirit-Sealing Magic Clothes' that he had bought at Wanbao Pavilion before.
According to Mrs. Lin, although this robe is only of the highest quality, it is extremely effective in concealing spiritual power and aura. After wearing it, even a monk in the early stages of forming a pill will have difficulty detecting anything without deliberately searching for it.
Of course, he is the seller after all, and it is normal to exaggerate. However, if you think about it, even if there is moisture in it, it is not too outrageous.
Although the golden-backed mantis is a fifth-level monster, its strength is comparable to that of a monk in the pill-forming stage. However, it has many weaknesses, especially in terms of spiritual intelligence, which is extremely low. This is also a characteristic of spiritual insect-like monsters. The spiritual intelligence increases abnormally.
difficult.
In this way, I should be able to rely on this spirit-sealing robe. As long as I am cautious and avoid the other party's induction, the possibility of quietly taking the storage bag away is very high.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated. After putting on his robes neatly, he stepped directly towards the entrance of the cave.
In order to hide his presence as much as possible, Mo Juren did not use any lighting instruments and directly used the extreme eye technique. Suddenly, he could clearly see the situation in the cave.
The so-called cave is actually very small, and the depth of the cave is only seven to eight feet. The cave is even more empty, with nothing else but bones on the ground.
"The monster is not here?"
Seeing this, Mo Juren suddenly felt happy. If it wasn't just right, he would be on guard. He didn't dare to delay, so he quickly searched around.
The cave was not big to begin with, but after just a moment, the target was seen in a corner, a skeleton wearing a gray robe, with an intact storage bag tied around his waist.
This is not a place to stay for a long time. After finding the target, you can directly reach out and take it into your hands without checking, and immediately turn around and leave.
However, as soon as he took a step, his expression suddenly changed drastically, and his whole body instantly became shorter.
His good luck seemed to have run out. At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed across the entrance of the cave, and a mantis-shaped monster flew in at high speed. It even held a giant bison in its mouth, which was obviously just killed.
Prey. The bison was huge and obviously no ordinary beast. Unfortunately, it had no power to resist this beast.
"Golden-backed mantis!" Mo Juren's face turned dark immediately, and he couldn't help cursing in his heart, this damn mantis still has such a habit, why should he take it home after eating it?
Although he complained in his heart, his body did not dare to make too big movements. Judging from the situation just now, the spirit-sealing robe can indeed block the opponent's detection, but he should not be careless. If something goes wrong, it would be too late to cry.
He did not leave immediately. Instead, he stood there quietly observing the other party's every move. As expected of a level five monster, its appetite was truly astonishing. A giant bison was devoured cleanly in the blink of an eye.
After finishing eating, the golden-backed mantis lay down on the spot, its triangular head turned slightly a few times, and then slowly lowered its head, seemingly falling into a deep sleep.
Seeing this scene, Mo Juren immediately seized this hard-won opportunity and quietly approached the cave entrance.
Lady Luck seemed to have thought of him again. Although she was wary during the process, there was no accident after all. Until she walked out of the cave entrance, she was still not discovered by the golden-backed mantis.
…
In mid-air, Mo Juren, who was sitting on Xiao Jin's back, finally let out a long sigh of relief. Today was really a bit risky. If the spirit sealing robe was not powerful enough, he would have to shed his skin even if he didn't die.
Fortunately, there was no danger after all. Moreover, the harvest this time was not bad, including the secret breeding techniques of the Yuling Sect, many spiritual insects, and it also came with a high-quality storage bag.
After a simple tap, a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
This operation was basically completed. Not only was the Corpse Refining Iron Slave recovered, but also a magic weapon, the Green Brilliance Sword, and many secret magic spirit insects were obtained. It was a fruitful harvest.
The only pity is that the Golden-backed Monster Mantis was not destroyed. This thing is too scary, and there is nothing we can do about it for the time being, so we can only put it aside for the time being.
However, he is not in a hurry. The golden-backed mantis cannot escape in a short time anyway. He will just wait until he has enough means to return.
There was a flash of light in his hand, and a green jade slip appeared. He put it on his forehead, and immediately, countless messages came in, and it didn't stop until a moment later.
Mo Juren closed his eyes tightly and slowly sorted out the information in the jade slip. At the same time, he was also thinking about another thing in his mind. Why did this Dan-forming monk from the Yuling Sect appear in Lanzhou and why was he seriously injured?
Dying and having to scramble to find a body to seize?
Who killed him, a monk of the same level or an ancestor at the Nascent Soul stage? His injuries were so serious that the possibility of the latter was extremely high.
What’s even more interesting is that this is Lanzhou, which happens to be the territory of Spirit Beast Mountain. The relationship between Spirit Beast Mountain and Yuling Sect is so complicated. The reason behind this happening has to make people think deeply.
There were too many questions, making him more and more curious. Especially at this time, you must know that the day of the invasion of the devil is not far away. Although the specific time needs to be postponed for a few years, such a big event must be early.
With premeditation, some plans may have already been implemented.
He thought about Mr. Han again. In recent years, the dragon has often disappeared, and even the research on spiritual talismans has stopped. Moreover, the previous few visits have all come to nothing.
"Yu Ling Sect, Spirit Beast Mountain, Demonic Invasion, Han Family..." He recited these names silently over and over again, while his mind was thinking about future plans at a rapid pace.
Although he successfully entered Spirit Beast Mountain, he was sure to be on the side that would eventually win. However, he still did not dare to be careless. What he was guarding against was not the six sects, but the six sects of the demonic path that would rule the country in the future.
Although Zhengdao is not a good person, he still retains a bottom line after all. However, Demonic Dao is just the opposite. The word "demon" explains everything, and the bottom line is completely ignored. Soul extraction, soul refining, blood sacrifice, etc. are bloody.
Things happen everywhere, regardless of whether you should or should not, just whether it is necessary or not, as long as you are happy, as long as it is in your own interests, then you can do things without any scruples.
