Xu Ran couldn't kill the ant monsters as fast as Qiao Bai. Qiao Bai had already controlled the fire dragon to kill fifteen ant monsters. Xu Ran had just used the double snake scissors to eliminate two.
Xu Ran also knows the 'Fire Dragon Technique', but in this case, his 'Fire Dragon Technique' is useless because he can't see where the ant monster is.
There are three ways to control the Five Elements Transformation Dragon. The most brilliant one is the Transformation Dragon that can fight independently. The other two are: one is to give the Transformation Dragon an order before using it. This command is very simple and can only be
Let it be used to deal with a certain enemy! This kind of five-element dragon transformation exists for a relatively short time and can do very few things. The other kind of dragon transformation is like Qiao Bai's current method.
The dragon continues to be controlled, and the dragon's existence time becomes longer. You can hit wherever you point!
However, what Qiao Bai could do in the clouds and mist was obviously impossible. He couldn't see where the ant monster was, so naturally he couldn't control the fire dragon to attack the ant monster. After all, between his spiritual mind and his body,
Before the tail between them was cut off, big movements like controlling the fire dragon would not be possible at the same time with spiritual thoughts.
Using the double snake scissors to deal with the ant monster is slow, but it does not have the disadvantages of transforming into a dragon, because the fairy weapon itself can lock the qi machine. As long as Qiao Bai sets the detected qi machine as the attack target of the double snake shears.
That’s it.
It's not that Xuran can't use Dragon Transformation. After detecting the ant monster, he can immediately launch the fire dragon to crash there. Anyway, the ant monster is very slow, and the fire dragon will definitely hit it accurately. However, the cost of doing so is too high.
Anyway, with Qiao Bai as the main force, it would be better to save some immortal power and the power of the true fire.
"It kills so slowly, I really want to try using my spiritual mind!"
If you want to take a different approach with your sword, since flames can restrain the ant monster, spiritual thoughts should be able to do the same.
"You'd better take it easy! This is a void!"
Qiao Bai quickly stopped Xu Ran. When they were walking in the void, neither of them had launched a spiritual attack. The reason was the disadvantage of spiritual attacks. Once the separated spiritual thoughts were damaged, the main body would lose consciousness.
.This is an illusory formation where you cannot take the wrong step. Once you lose your mind, you cannot use your magical power to control your body. What will happen if you fall from high altitude? It is undoubtedly as dangerous as taking the wrong step.
Although there are not many things that can restrain spiritual thoughts, the monsters here are all from the outside world. Qiao Bai doesn't want Xu Ran to gamble.
"Okay, then you will have to suffer even more."
Although it was just a complaint, he actually didn't dare to bet.
After a moment, Qiao Bai's serious voice sounded: "Do you feel that these ant monsters have changed?"
"indeed!"
Xu Ran has also become serious. In the process of killing the ant monsters, they discovered an incredible thing, that is, as the number of ant monsters decreases, their overall strength has been improved!
Nowadays, the five remaining ant monsters have not only become much faster, but their strength has also been re-evaluated by Qiao Bai to be in the middle stage of returning to the virtual state.
"Whoosh!"
The ant monsters couldn't make a sound, but the spikes in their hands could. When the black spikes stabbed at Qiao Bai and Xu Ran, they made a roaring sound.
Although the strength of the ant monsters has been improved, Qiao Bai and Xu Ran did not pay much attention to them, but the sharp thorns they stabbed surprised Qiao Bai and Xu Ran again. Because along with the ant monster thorns
The coming spikes and the pressure of the energy of heaven and earth actually acted on Qiao Bai and Xu Ran!
Because Qiao Bai was in the late stage of recovery, he could ignore this pressure, but under the influence of this pressure, his movements could not help but become sluggish, and he was about to be stabbed in the chest by a sharp thorn.
"court death!"
Xu Ran sneered, and he mobilized the energy of heaven and earth to resist, and his side of his body instantly returned to normal, and the spikes passed through the shield of his immortal power.
"Peng!"
Xu Ran didn't use a knife. He attached the True Fire to his palm and smashed the head of the ant monster with one palm. The remaining True Fire spread to the rest of the ant monster's body like a prairie fire.
The ant monster can mobilize the energy of heaven and earth to suppress Xu Ran, because it is now equivalent to a cultivator in the middle stage of returning to the void. Xu Ran can mobilize the energy of the world and the earth to suppress the ant monster, because he is a true cultivator in the middle stage of returning to the void.
"You can actually mobilize the energy of heaven and earth to suppress? This is really incredible!"
Xu Ran once again mobilized the energy of heaven and earth to suppress the two ant monsters attacking him at the same time.
The ant monster's body couldn't help but slow down, and Xu Ran, who seized the opportunity, immediately slashed at one of the ant monsters.
The sword energy scattered the ant monster's body, and the other ant monster had broken free from the oppression of the energy of heaven and earth, and stabbed Xuran with the sharp thorns in its hands.
Looking at the spikes piercing from a distance, Xu Ran thought that the ant monster was also launching a long-distance attack similar to the sword energy, but he never thought that the spikes actually grew longer during the ant monster's stabbing, and the speed was faster than the knife.
Very angry.
"Qiang!"
The sound of gold and iron was heard, and Qiao Bai used his knife to cut open the lengthened spikes.
"You are really weird. If the spikes that you stabbed before can do this, then I won't be hit? Did you become stronger again because of the death of that ant monster?"
Xuran gritted his teeth at the ant monster, and the ant monster raised the shortened spikes in his hand again.
However, this time, the ant monster's spikes failed to pierce out, and it was cut off by Xu Ran's double snake scissors.
"call!"
As soon as the double snake shears cut off the ant monster, the flames thrown by Qiao Bai fell on the ant monster, causing it to burst into flames.
At this point, all the ant monsters have been eliminated.
"Do you think it's weird?" Gu Zheng said.
"Master, they are indeed very strange. Monsters like them have never been encountered in my previous experience," Qiao Bai said.
"The world outside the circle is very big, and there are many monsters. Some monsters have methods that you can't even understand! However, this encounter with the ant monster can be regarded as teaching you a lesson! It feels like the closer you get to the center, the more powerful you are.
There must be more monsters using similar weird methods!" Gu Zheng said.
“It’s quite exciting.”
Xu Ran chuckled: "But these guys are all poor people. They don't even have inner elixirs in their bodies. I don't know if their bodies can be used as materials for refining weapons!"
"Even if they can be used as weapon refining materials, don't take their corpses into the clouds, otherwise unexpected variables will be triggered. They are part of the illusion array."
After hearing what Gu Zheng said, Xu Ran also gave up his plan to collect some ant monster skeletons.
Instead of moving forward, Gu Zheng and the others waited until the rolling sea of clouds flew away.
The sea of clouds had passed by. When Qiao Bai looked back, there was no shadow of the sea of clouds. The darkness before was really like an illusion.
There is no sea of clouds behind you, but you can already see a hanging mountain hidden in the clouds and mist in front of you.
"Let's go, there will be a final wave of attacks when we are approaching Xuankong Mountain. Then you can tell the truth by yourself!"
Gu Zheng took steps again. Qiao Bai and Xu Ran looked at each other. They had already guessed that Gu Zheng would let them distinguish between true and false sooner or later, so it was not a surprise.
As the saying goes, "If you look up the mountain, you'll run to death." The same applies to approaching Xuankong Mountain. After walking for a long time, Qiao Bai and Xu Ran felt that they were really not far from Xuankong Mountain now.
Gu Zheng stopped and said nothing. Qiao Bai and Xu Ran understood that the last wave of attacks was coming.
The clouds and mist surged, and more than fifty monsters appeared. There were two types of these fifty monsters. One was a humanoid skeleton, the size of an adult, and the other was wrapped in flames.
A flying bird with wings spread up to two feet long.
Because they had long thought of such a day, Qiao Bai and Xu Ran immediately launched the oppression of heaven and earth energy on more than fifty monsters.
Using the energy of heaven and earth to suppress so many monsters at the same time, Qiao Bai and Xu Ran did not expect to suppress them until they could move. They just wanted to use this method to determine which monster was real and which monster was fake! After all,
, Real monsters will react somewhat under the pressure of the energy of heaven and earth, while fake monsters will naturally not be affected in any way because they are illusions.
Through testing, Qiao Bai and Gu Zheng have understood that most of the more than fifty monsters are fake, and only twenty monsters are real. Among the real monsters are flaming birds and humanoid skeletons. Are they really real?
True and false, false and true. Moreover, through this test, Qiao Bai and Xu Ran also discovered that the real monster's strength is not very high, and it should be equivalent to the early stage of returning to the virtual world.
After confirming the authenticity of the monsters, Qiao Bai immediately used the 'Ice Dragon Technique', and Xu Ran used the double snake scissors.
The ice dragon passed through the running phantom monster and knocked a flame bird away. The ice breath was also released when it came into contact with the flame bird's body. The flames on the flame bird's body were immediately extinguished, and the body fell downwards.
.
"Kacha!"
Qiao Bai's double snake scissors cut off a humanoid skeleton. Originally, he thought that the humanoid skeleton would be like the ant monster he encountered before, and the bones could be reorganized. But the reality was that the humanoid skeleton's bones also fell from high altitude.
Already.
Monsters are easy to deal with. It seems that this wave of real and fake attacks is so easy.
However, a flame bird that was supposed to be an illusion sprayed flames at Qiao Bai at close range. From the flames, Qiao Bai felt the destructive power of the late stage of returning to the void!
"Go away!"
The frightened Qiao Bai pushed out a palm and hit the flame bird in the abdomen.
The Flame Bird was knocked away. Although the ice energy carried by the palm caused it a lot of damage, it did not kill it. The Flame Bird, which did not get too close, opened its mouth and sprayed out towards Qiao Bai.
A fireball.
The fireball flew towards Qiao Bai like a meteor, and in the process turned into a flaming octopus.
"The Raging Sea Tide!"
Qiao Bai roared his filial piety, and as the true water in his body vibrated, huge waves emerged out of thin air and hit all the monsters rushing towards him and Xu Ran.
The large-scale attack hit all the monsters. Among them, the real ones were shot away. There were two monsters that were not moved by the big waves and flew towards Qiao Bai. The other one flew towards Xu Ran.
The one flying towards Qiao Bai was still the flame bird, but not the one just now. Qiao Bai was fully prepared to deal with it, but it was actually an illusion.
The monster flying towards Xu Ran was a humanoid skeleton. After seeing Qiao Bai being attacked by the flame bird that was supposed to be an illusion, Xuran didn't care whether the humanoid skeleton was real or not. He raised his hand and slashed it out with a knife.
The sword energy passed through the body of the humanoid skeleton as if passing through the air. Just as Xu Ran was about to smile at Qiao Bai, a feeling of danger suddenly appeared in his heart.
The humanoid skeleton punched Xu Ran, and the punch turned into a phantom skull with its mouth constantly opening and closing.
Xu Ran drew out a sword to greet him, and the blade cut the phantom skull in half, but a huge force was also transmitted into his body along Xu Ran's long sword.
"It's over, late stage of returning to void!"
Xu Ran was shocked. He knew that he was about to take the wrong step. The huge force acting on his body would make him retreat at least seven or eight steps.
However, Xu Ran's body did not retreat. A colorless barrier appeared behind him at some point. The colorless barrier prevented him from taking the wrong step.
Xu Ran knew that this was Gu Zheng who came to help, but he didn't even have time to say a word of gratitude because the fatal humanoid skeleton punched him again.
It was still the phantom skull with its mouth constantly opening and closing, but this time it was hit by a sword light.
The phantom of the skull was split open by the sword light. The sword light seemed slow, but it was inevitable for the humanoid skull to avoid it, because it was Xu Ran's 'Crazy Crazy Sword'.
It was like the crisp sound of a kitchen knife cutting a carrot. The sword light passed across the body of the humanoid skeleton. The humanoid skull shattered into white bones with a crash. The remaining force of the sword light killed a flame behind the humanoid skeleton.
bird.
"puff!"
After launching the 'Crazy Crazy Sword', the backlash was inevitable.
However, even if Xu Ran suffered a backlash at this time, it would have no effect. There were only four monsters left in the original few, and Qiao Bai, who was fighting with them, had the upper hand.
"gentlemen……"
Xu Ran was very embarrassed and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Be careful next time."
Gu Zheng didn't say much.
"stop!"
With a scream, a flame bird was chopped down by Qiao Bai's sword.
Gu Zheng waved his hand and took a picture of the flame bird that had just been killed by Qiao Bai.
The flame bird photographed in front of Gu Zheng was the one that turned from virtual to real, just like the humanoid skeleton that Xu Ran killed with the 'Crazy Crazy Knife'. The bones had also been included in the storage bracelet by Gu Zheng.
"are you OK?"
Having eliminated the remaining monsters, Qiao Bai cast a concerned look at Xu Ran.
"not too good."
Xu Ran smiled bitterly. He was indeed not well. The backlash from the 'Crazy Crazy Knife' was still there, but in this phantom formation, he couldn't adjust his breath, otherwise he would fall from a high altitude, and the pain from the backlash was still there.
His body was churning endlessly.
"Let's go, we'll do the breath adjustment again when we get to Hanging Mountain."
Gu Zheng took another step, with Qiao Bai and Xu Ran following behind.
After walking for a while, the three finally climbed onto Hanging Mountain.
Gu Zheng released his spiritual thoughts to explore Xuankong Mountain, but he sat cross-legged and adjusted his breathing. The previous battle was still echoing in Qiao Bai's heart.
"It's impossible to guard against it! If the sixth sense hadn't generated a premonition in time, the punch from the humanoid skeleton would have fallen on me."
The pain had been suppressed by Xu Ran, and he smiled bitterly at Qiao Bai.
"It's so weird. This kind of transformation between reality and reality is hard to guard against!"
Qiao Bai frowned, thinking that if he and Xu Ran were exchanged at that time, his experience would not be better than Xu Ran.
"It's just a simple switch between virtual and real."
Gu Zheng, who had already explored Xuankong Mountain, said: "They can only switch between virtuality and reality once. The powerful virtuality and reality can be switched many times. When you attack it, it becomes virtual, and when it attacks you, it becomes virtual again.
It has become real!”
Qiao Bai knew Gu Zheng relatively well. Gu Zheng would answer the question after exploring the Hanging Mountain, which made him ask: "Master, is there a monster on this Hanging Mountain that can switch between reality and reality, and can there be many monsters?"
The kind that switches first?”
Looking at Qiao Bai, Gu Zheng smiled slightly: "Yes, there is indeed such a monster, so you should be more careful during this experience."
"Master, what did you do with the corpses of those two monsters just now? Aren't they part of the illusion array?" Qiao Bai asked curiously.
"Of course they are not part of the phantom formation, otherwise how could I take away their bones."
Gu Zheng placed the bones of the flame bird and the humanoid skeleton on the ground: "You two don't rush to practice this time. After the backlash injuries are healed, I will give you two days to study these two skeletons.
It will be helpful for you to see through the switch between reality and reality.”
"Okay, you can study it now and make changes to your opponents first."
When Gu Zheng climbed the mountain, Qiao Bai released the golden fire.
"You also study these two skeletons!" Qiao Bai ordered Jin Huo.
So, one man and one beast stared at the two piles of bones on the ground, and started looking through them from time to time.
An hour later, Xuankong Mountain shook. After Gu Zheng, who had changed his formation, came back, he immediately devoted himself to refining the metallic inner elixir.
The next day, Xu Ran's backlash injuries recovered.
"How is your research going?" Xu Ran asked Qiao Bai.
"We haven't come up with any results. I don't know what Master asked us to study." Qiao Bai shrugged.
"Sir, he said that studying these two skeletons will be helpful for us to see through the switch between reality and reality."
Xu Ran murmured, and he fiddled with the two skeletons on the ground with his hands.
After a while, Xu Ran closed his eyes and seriously recalled what these two guys looked like when they were alive.
"Did you find anything special when you were fighting with the Flame Bird?" Xu Ran asked, opening his eyes again.
"It must be gone. If it is, there won't be such a headache."
Qiao Bai understood that the discovery Xu Ran asked about was related to the switching between reality and reality.
"Did you find anything when you were fighting with human skeletons?" Qiao Bai asked.
"No." Xu Ran shook his head.
"What should we do now? Jin Huo and I have been watching this for a whole day, and today is our last day." Qiao Bai said worriedly.
"There is a method you can try, but if it doesn't work, we will completely lose the research object."
Xu Ran's words made Qiao Bai's eyes light up, and he asked hurriedly: "Are you talking about cooking?"
Qiao Bai knew that Su Ran had the 'eye of false Taoism' and that he could see things that he could not see. Since he had not researched anything in a day, then maybe the method really had something to do with cooking.
"That's right!" Xu Ran nodded.
"Then what ingredients are you going to cook with?" Qiao Bai asked again.
"They don't match anything. The special substances contained in them can be catalyzed by roasting one and boiling the other. The smell produced by that time, I think, may be the key to seeing through the switch between reality and reality!" Xu Ran said.
"odor."
Qiao Bai murmured, and then his eyes lit up: "I think your analysis is very reasonable. If you want to see through false switching, there are no more than three ways, see with your eyes, smell with your nose, and feel. You should deal with them now!
