Chapter 167 The Secret Realm of the Void Heaven and the Giant Xiwu Demon
Luo Hong originally just didn't want to miss the Xutian Temple, which only opened once every three hundred years. He wanted to come and experience it, and by the way, he got two ancient treasures to go back and study. He was very interested in the Five Elements Ring.
However, the demon's rampage disrupted Luo Hong's plan, forcing him to take the risk to find the place to seal the demon in the Xutian Temple.
But Yuan Yao was different. She had a clear purpose when she first entered the Xutian Palace. She came here just for the Soul Nourishing Tree.
Each floor of the giant tower in the Xutian Inner Temple is like a maze, and every time you pass a crossroads in the maze, a stone door will appear.
There are restrictions on the stone door, which can only be opened by using the residual map of Xutian.
Immortal cultivators can reach a treasure room after entering the stone door. The soul-nourishing wood needed by Yuan Yao is in such a treasure room.
However, the stone door of the Xutian Inner Palace does not indicate what treasures are contained in the connected treasure rooms.
Therefore, if Yuan Yao could successfully find the Soul-nurturing Wood, he must have mastered some secrets of the Xutian Inner Temple.
Luo Hong believed that the secrets held by Yuan Yao might be helpful to him, and this was the main reason why he was willing to protect Yuan Yao into the inner palace.
Otherwise, in this situation where he is unable to protect himself, he would be crazy to bring a drag bottle.
After a flash of white light, Luo Hong and Yuan Yao both appeared in the secret realm of Xutian.
Looking around, there are lakes and woods nearby, and mountains and grasslands in the distance. Looking up, except that there is no sun, the sky is the same blue sky and white clouds as the outside world. It is difficult to imagine that you are just in a palace.
There is abundant spiritual energy in the secret realm, and there are hundreds of external spiritual pressures at the entrance alone.
"Miss Yuan, I'm going to go to the pavilion in the middle of the lake to recover my mana. You can go search for the elixir first. We'll meet at the entrance of the Ice and Fire Road."
Luo Hong picked a nearby place with the strongest aura and said to Yuan Yao who was next to him and was still shocked by the ancient magical power of sealing the sky and splitting the earth.
"Ah, Brother Luo, do you want to give up the opportunity to search for the elixir?"
Yuan Yao was very puzzled. Although her main purpose of entering the Xutian Palace was to obtain the soul-nurturing wood, if there was no conflict, if she had the opportunity to obtain the precious elixir that was more than a thousand years old, she would never let it go.
"The lava road is not easy to walk on. Mana is the top priority. I came out of the Ghost Resentment Land late, and I have a reason to go to the inner temple, so I can only reluctantly give up."
Luo Hong shook his head slightly. There was often only a thin line between confidence and arrogance. He didn't want to take unnecessary risks just because of a few uncritical elixirs.
"this......"
Yuan Yao frowned and hesitated for a moment.
On the one hand, she was reluctant to part with the elixir in the secret realm, but on the other hand, she didn't want to lose points in Luo Hong's heart, lest something go wrong in the future.
"Haha, Miss Yuan, don't worry, you can just go find the medicine on your own. There are rules in the Star Palace, so as long as you don't provoke those Yuanying old monsters, you won't be in danger."
Luo Hong chuckled, then ignored Yuan Yao and flew straight to the Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake.
After Yuan Yao stood there and pondered for a while, he suddenly looked around and made sure that no one was around, then he furtively took out an animal skin scroll.
After lifting the restriction above, Yuan Yao unfolded it and looked at it, looking at the mountains, rivers and grasslands in the distance from time to time, as if comparing it with the map.
After a while, Yuan Yao's eyes locked on a spot on the scroll, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Brother Luo, wait for me, I will protect you."
After Yuan Yao put away the scroll, he didn't hesitate at all and followed him with a flattering look on his face.
"Miss Yuan, I'll excuse you."
Luo Hong didn't want to know Yuan Yao's decision-making process. It was her freedom to take medicine or not.
On the surface, Luo Hong asked Yuan Yao to protect him, but secretly he had already given the order to protect the blood puppet flying ants.
While Luo Hong was meditating attentively, Yuan Yao's beautiful eyes moved slightly, her right hand brushed her waist, and a furry little beast with a flat mouth appeared in her palm.
With a "plop", Yuan Yao threw the flat-mouthed beast into the lake, took out a soul tablet, closed his eyes and started chanting a curse.
Since he had been using the yellow-winged bird to spy on intelligence since he was a child, Yuan Yao was well aware of its convenience. Considering the environment of the Chaotic Star Sea, he chose a water-borne monster with strong hiding ability and refined it into a being similar to the yellow-winged bird.
.
The water is murky, but under the flat-mouthed monster's innate spiritual eyes, everything is clearly visible.
As she continued to explore, Yuan Yao discovered a dilapidated palace under the water. As soon as she showed joy on her face, she heard Luo Hong say angrily:
"Miss Yuan, you are such a great protector."
It turned out that after half a day of meditation, Luo Hong had recovered his magic power. When he opened his eyes, he saw Yuan Yao holding the Katamari tablet between his fingers, sitting cross-legged and giggling with his eyes closed, which made him laugh bitterly.
"Ah! Brother Luo, are you okay? Hehe, I'm sorry."
Yuan Yao childishly stuck out half of her tongue, like a little girl caught stealing candy by her elders. It seemed that she still regarded Luo Hong as an uncle in her heart.
Seeing such a gorgeous beauty showing such an expression, Luo Hong couldn't help but be stunned, then shook her head and said with a smile:
"Forget it, Miss Yuan, did you find what you were looking for?"
"I'm not looking for anything on purpose? It's just... I'm just bored of waiting, so I'm just taking a chance."
Yuan Yao dodged his eyes, paused for a moment and lied.
Haha, Yuan Yao, Yuan Yao, your level of making up lies is far worse than that of Old Demon Han.
Luo Hong secretly found it funny, but she didn't want to expose Yuan Yao. After all, the more secrets she knew about Xutian Palace, the more beneficial it would be for him.
"Okay, then Miss Yuan has encountered an opportunity?"
Hearing that Luo Hong didn't mean to blame her, Yuan Yao breathed a sigh of relief, clapped her hands together, and pretended to be surprised:
"We really encountered it! Brother Luo, look, does this place look like a treasure trove?"
After taking the soul card handed over by Yuan Yao and casting a spell, Luo Hong saw an underwater palace, and he also keenly observed traces of formations around the palace.
"It's a bit like, Miss Yuan thinks there is some secret in it. If it's too troublesome, it's better not to get involved. We don't have much time.
Although you can fly away at will in the secret realm, it still takes a while to reach the entrance of the Ice and Fire Road."
The implication of Luo Hong's words was to tell Yuan Yao to stop playing riddles and the steps will be set up for you. Please tell me if you have any secrets to this underwater palace.
Yuan Yao's face froze. She realized that Luo Hong had seen something, but since he didn't expose her, she was happy to pretend to be stupid.
"I heard that some precious elixirs have harsh conditions for growing. Could this underwater palace be specially built to cultivate such water-based elixirs? After all, the aura of this lake is much richer than other places around it.
However, such an important place should be guarded by monsters, so we’d better be careful.”
"So, it is very likely that there is a spiritual medicine garden down there, and it is indeed worth exploring."
Luo Hong nodded slightly, stretched out his hand to call out the water flag, and then flew up.
This surprised Yuan Yao, who was about to discuss with Luo Hong how to kill the guardian monster, but she didn't say anything and just flew to follow.
It is common for treasured elixirs to be guarded by monsters and beasts. The longevity fruits that Man Beard is eyeing are protected by mandrills comparable to those of early Yuanying monks.
However, since Yuan Yao dares to take advantage of this place, the monsters guarding this place must not be too powerful.
Through the soul card, Luo Hong scanned the circle around the underwater palace and found no trace of the monster. He thought that the monster either used the underwater palace as a nest to live in, or was hiding in the mud.
With Luo Hong's spiritual awareness, it was not difficult to find this monster, but he had to go into the water to search for it, and he had an easier way, which was to imitate Nezha who was making trouble in the sea.
Luo Hong flew to the top of the underwater palace and started to chant the spell. The water flag turned bigger and bigger. When it grew to about ten feet long, Luo Hong's magic technique changed and he saw the water flag falling straight down.
The breath fell into the lake a hundred feet deep.
Luo Hong suddenly raised his magic power, and the water flag immediately spread out in a circle, and the surrounding lake water became agitated and began to rotate around it at high speed.
After a while, a huge whirlpool appeared on the lake.
Almost at the same time as the vortex formed, a dull roar came from the bottom of the lake.
I saw a huge black shadow about twenty feet long emerging from the sand and rushing directly towards the water flag in the center of the whirlpool.
Luo Hong controlled the water flag to fly out of the lake, and the black shadow followed him out.
This monster is huge and looks like a turtle, but its legs and head are covered with thick scales. Its back is covered with ferocious spikes, and its tail is divided into two long green snakes with scarlet eyes. It looks very strange.
of evil.
"Brother Luo, be careful. This monster is called Xiwu. It is an ancient alien species. It is good at using water magic and its defense is amazing!"
As soon as Yuan Yao finished speaking, the Xiwu giant demon opened its mouth and sprayed out numerous white light balls, which were the Yuangang mines that Luo Hong had often used before.
With a movement of his mind, Luo Hong propped up the aphotic shield, wrapping him and Yuan Yao in it. This kind of attack based on quantity was naturally impossible to break through the aphotic shield.
An unknown number of Yuangang mines exploded on the surface of the matte shield, but apart from some dazzling effects, they had no real effect.
This shocked Yuan Yao, who was about to sacrifice his magic weapon for protection!
Such a strong defensive ability, this is by no means an ordinary protective spirit shield, it is not a magical power, or some ancient treasure is exerting its power.
Uncle Luo, so awesome!
Luo Hong raised his right palm and was about to sacrifice the Sea-Suppressing Pearl to smash the turtle shell of the Xiwu Giant Demon to pieces, but he suddenly felt that this was too wasteful. After all, this guy is an ancient alien species with strong Qi and blood.
It just so happened that Luo Hong also wanted to test whether the greatly increased number of blood puppet flying ants could deal with this monster beast, which was comparable to a monk in the late stage of pill formation.
As soon as he thought of it, Luo Hong changed the magic formula in his hand. The demon floating next to him opened his mouth and buzzed out hundreds of blood puppet flying ants.
Yuan Yao couldn't help but take half a step back when she saw this. She thought the demon was a corpse refiner like Feitouman, but she didn't expect it to spray out so many flying ants, which was so weird.
"Brother Luo, is it not safe to rely solely on spiritual insects? In addition to being proficient in water magic, Xiwu also has several unique magical powers."
Yuan Yao saw that Luo Hong had stopped moving after sending out spirit insects, and couldn't help but remind her that her thoughts were the same as those of most immortal cultivators. The individual strength of spirit insect-like spirit beasts was far inferior to that of ordinary spirit beasts, and they usually won by numbers. This time
One hundred is not too many.
"No problem, let them try."
Although Luo Hong claims that the Blood Puppet Flying Ant is immortal, he himself knows that this is not the case and there must be something to restrain it.
Han Laomo's evil-fighting divine thunder makes the blood puppet flying ants a little afraid, but because it is a real magic secret method, it does not collapse at the first touch like the human world's magic power.
It is better to try it out when the danger is controllable than to suddenly discover the opponent's method of restraining the Blood Puppet Flying Ant at a critical moment, causing it to suffer a lot of losses.
Facing the flying blood puppet flying ants, the Xiwu giant demon shrank its neck, and then spit out a huge Yuangang mine.
There was a loud "bang", and the number of blood puppet flying ants did not decrease. After coming out of the land of ghost resentment, the blood puppet flying ants are no longer as easy to be destroyed as before.
The blood puppet flying ants that rushed at the forefront also recovered in an instant, and their rebirth speed was obviously much faster than before.
Seeing that his attack was ineffective, the giant demon Xiwu became even more furious. He opened his mouth and spewed out the cold energy accumulated in his body for thousands of years.
As soon as the surging extremely cold air enveloped the flying ant colony, thick frost condensed on the body surface of the blood puppet flying ants, and eventually they were sealed into ice crystals, and they fell from the sky one after another.
Cold attack seems to be the weakness of the Blood Puppet Flying Ant.
Yuan Yao couldn't help but become worried when she saw this. She glanced at Luo Hong's expression and saw that his face was still calm, and she couldn't help but feel strange.
Could these flying ants be able to escape on their own?
That’s exactly what happened!
I saw that the blood-puppet flying ants had only fallen a few feet, and the ice crystals that sealed them had melted away. They quickly fluttered their wings and pounced towards the Xiwu Giant Demon again.
The body of the blood puppet flying ants is made of blood marrow crystals that have the magical ability to swallow blood. This is also the reason why spells cannot have obvious effects on them. Ice can only trap them for a while.
Seeing that even the trump card that he could not use easily could not deal with these little bugs, Xiwu giant demon obviously panicked and resorted to a method that was not commonly used.
The two giant snakes at the tail hissed, and each shot two blood-red beams of light from their eyes towards the flying ants.
When the blood puppet flying ants were illuminated by this beam of light, they immediately became more violent. The forbidden gods that Luo Hong had placed on them that were originally hidden lit up, but other than that there were no special effects.
The giant Xiwu monster was completely panicked. In the past, as long as the red light emitted from its snake tails hit other monsters, those monsters would immediately become dizzy and lose their ability to resist.
Every time this magical power is used, its vitality will be depleted, which is his most powerful trump card!
However, this time it seemed to have the opposite effect.
On Luo Hong's side, when the red light emitted by the Xiwu Giant Demon hit the flying ant colony, he suddenly felt his soul twitching slightly, as if a moth had flown across the fire.
This is the first time that an enemy has used a spiritual attack against the blood puppet flying ants. It is also the first time that Luo Hong knows that the forbidden divine technique he has applied to the blood puppet flying ants will direct most of the power of the spiritual attack to the blood puppet flying ants.
he.
So, Luo Hong immediately realized something:
When dealing with an enemy whose consciousness is stronger than yours, you must never use the Blood Puppet Flying Ant!
At this time, the blood-puppet flying ants have already approached the Xiwu giant demon and are devouring its protective spirit shield. As long as this last line of defense is broken, the Xiwu giant demon will be the meat on the felt board of the flying ants.
Feeling the crisis of life and death, the Xiwu giant demon raised its huge head and stared at the two Luo Hong under the lightless shield with fierce eyes.
In his simple thinking, if the flying ants cannot be killed, then the master of the flying ants must be killed.
This human monk must be much weaker than his flying ants, otherwise he would release the flying ant queen without attacking!
The giant Xiwu demon roared, and a rich red light emitted from the eyes of the two snake tails. However, it did not immediately shoot out the red light beam just now, but instead accumulated strength.
After a while, an ethereal two-headed snake condensed out of the back of the Xiwu Giant Demon, which had become obviously a little weak.
