When Xuan Yue returned to the entrance of the Basilisk's lair with the Heart Demon Pearl, she found that the original entrance to the cave was missing.
"Master, is this a deception?"
Xuan Yue was sure that she would not remember the wrong place, but if it was a deception, she couldn't see through it.
"This is not a blindfold, it's just a formation!" Gu Zheng said.
Regarding some things about the formation, Gu Zheng also taught Xuan Yue in the jade slips. However, the formation is extensive and profound, and Xuan Yue's own strength is still too low. Even if she can learn some things from the jade slips, she still needs a little more.
Practice is all it takes, not to mention that the knowledge of formations that Gu Zheng imparted to Xuan Yue in the Jade Slips of Transferring Gong was mostly based on formations from the ancient times. The formations they faced now belonged to the world outside the circle.
formation.
"Okay! It turns out to be a formation."
Xuan Yue smiled sheepishly. She had already thought that basilisks were creatures with low intelligence, so she did not forget to think about formations. After all, even spiritual beasts with high intelligence are not
They must have the ability to arrange formations. Spiritual beasts that can arrange formations must at least reach the level of a demon cultivator.
"This can also be regarded as an opportunity to learn. You should observe it yourself first and see if you can find a way to break the formation."
Hearing what Gu Zheng said, Xuan Yue nodded, and then used her spiritual thoughts to investigate.
The formation was not very clever, Xuan Yue quickly detected the outline of the formation, but her current skills in the formation were not enough to break the formation.
Gu Zheng gave Xuan Yue guidance, and Xuan Yue began to shoot a series of magic spells into the air. Soon, the hole that was originally hidden by the formation was revealed amidst the churning mud.
The entrance to the lair was re-revealed, but no basilisk rushed out to die again. Xuan Yue did not rush into it. She used her spiritual mind to explore the situation first.
The entrance of the cave is not big to begin with, and the inside is getting narrower and narrower. This is originally the nest of the basilisk, and it is not specially designed for outsiders, so the basilisk can only crawl through it. If a normal person comes in, it will be fine inside.
He could only crawl forward.
In addition to being relatively narrow, the basilisk's lair has a lot of forks inside, but the number of basilisks is already very few.
Just decompose them directly.
There were really too many side roads. Even if Xuan Yue used her spiritual thoughts to explore, it still took a lot of effort to find the existence of the Snake Queen.
The place where the Snake Queen lives is at the bottom of a fork in the road. The terrain here is relatively open, and the size and height are about the same as a normal house.
As Gu Zheng said beforehand, the snake queen is really similar to the ant queen. It is basically immobile and is simply an egg-laying machine.
Xuan Yue did not attack the Snake Queen with her spiritual thoughts because she did not know whether what Gu Zheng wanted was related to the Snake Queen. If she rashly attacked the Snake Queen with her spiritual thoughts, the body of the Snake Queen would be decomposed by her spiritual thoughts.
That's a bad thing. Moreover, the Snake Queen is also very sensitive to divine thoughts. When Xuan Yue's divine thoughts are still some distance away from the Snake Queen, the Snake Queen has already discovered the existence of Xuan Yue's divine thoughts.
Although it did not attack Xuan Yue's spiritual thoughts, it made an unpleasant cry, which made the two big snake monsters guarding it look very anxious.
Xuan Yue told Gu Zheng about the situation in the basilisk's lair, and Gu Zheng couldn't help but frown.
Xuan Yue does not know the Earth Escape Technique. If she knew the Earth Escape Technique, the incident would be simpler. Now she cannot directly enter it, unless she crawls in. Moreover, the four walls of the Basilisk's lair are very hard.
Even with Xuan Yue's level of cultivation, it would be unrealistic to use demonic magic to open up a passage and run rampant inside.
"Let's do this! You enter the inner magic bead, I will take you in, wait until the snake queen is there, I will release you, and then I will enter the inner magic bead."
Gu Zheng quickly thought of a way. Now that he was in the body of a monster, he could also pass wherever the basilisk could pass.
Putting Xuan Yue into the inner demon bead, Gu Zheng took the inner demon bead and entered the basilisk's lair.
The smell in the basilisk's lair is disgusting, it is a very fishy smell, and the ground is also very wet, making it feel like walking in mud.
After entering the basilisk's lair, Gu Zheng ran wildly under the guidance of Xuan Yue. Since the basilisks on the road had been eliminated by Xuan Yue before, Gu Zheng was able to run smoothly. However, when Gu Zheng approached the snake queen's location
When he reached the bottom of the passage, he realized that the scene was different from what Xuan Yue's divine sense had detected before. A piece of white stuff sealed the passage, like a door, separating Gu Zheng from Snake Queen.
The inside and outside of the door.
Gu Zheng took a closer look and saw that the white misty thing seemed to be some kind of film with sticky liquid on it.
Gu Zheng blew out a gust of demonic wind to test it, and found that the membrane was not a barrier that his current body could break through.
Anyway, the terrain here was already open. Since he couldn't break the film, Gu Zheng released Xuan Yue from the inner demon bead.
After Xuan Yue appeared, she did not rush to attack the membrane. She looked at it carefully first, and then said: "Master, it may take a long time to break this membrane with the wind of palm!"
"Yes, this film has very good toughness!"
Gu Zhengdan smiled, knowing that the barrier of this film would not be a problem for Xuan Yue.
"Since attacks like palm wind are difficult to break, I want to see if the power of extreme cold can't break it either!"
Xuan Yue raised her brows, and the extremely cold power sprayed from her hand like a spray to the barrier in the cave.
The barrier was originally white, but the contact with the extreme cold force made its color whiter, and soon it was covered with frost.
The original barrier had very good toughness, giving people the feeling of being a living creature, but now that it is covered by frost, it seems to be frozen, and it can no longer see the vitality it had before.
.
Xuan Yue used her finger as a pen, and demonic power shot out from her fingertips. She drew a mysterious symbol on the frost-covered barrier, then stretched out her hand and pushed forward, only to hear a "crash" sound, which was originally blocked.
The barrier of the passage was shattered like a mirror.
"Hiss!"
As soon as the barrier was broken, the two big basilisks originally guarding the snake immediately launched an attack on Xuan Yue.
A large stream of black mist surged toward Xuan Yue, and there was a sound similar to a ghost's cry. The originally hard soil on the cave wall was corroded by the touch of the black mist.
The big snake monster is different from the small snake monster. The big snake monster knows some magic, and its strength is almost equivalent to the realm of gods. However, Xuan Yue has seen enough of the magic they know when they were on the enemy's battlefield, and this
Even a big monkey can deal with this level of sorcery, let alone Xuan Yue, whose strength is already equivalent to the middle stage of returning to the void.
Xuan Yue flicked her sleeves and drew a circle in the air. The circle was like a wind tunnel, with cold and violent winds constantly pouring out of it. The black mist disappeared directly under the impact of the violent wind. As for the two spraying out the black mist,
A big snake monster, its body became stiff in the cold wind until it was covered with a layer of frost.
Xuan Yue stretched out her finger, and two big basilisks that turned into frost exploded. She did not move forward in a hurry, but asked Gu Zheng what to do next, because she had clearly seen the snake queen.
"Don't hurt it yet, let me take a closer look!" Gu Zheng said.
"good!"
Xuan Yue responded and used the invisible technique to move forward. Although the snake queen saw her invisible, she felt that the snake queen was unable to distract herself from anything else at this time, because the snake queen was now in the painful time of laying eggs.
It spends almost all its energy on laying eggs. As long as the snake queen doesn't force her out immediately, once she enters the bottom of the house-sized hole where the snake queen is, the snake queen wants to force her to do something again.
But it won't be easy! After all, there are many snake eggs densely packed on the ground at the bottom of the cave. The snake queen should not launch ruthless and indiscriminate attacks when there are snake eggs.
Xuan Yue has entered the bottom of the passage. She has not crushed the snake eggs. She is now walking on the snake eggs. The snake queen is still giving birth in pain, but without the two big snakes to help carry the snake eggs, the snake eggs under her body
Several have been collected.
Gu Zheng's eyes were a bit weak. Snake eggs and snake queens were both things he wanted to observe.
However, it didn't take much time for Gu Zheng. He quickly found a snake egg that was useful to him among hundreds of snake eggs.
After collecting the snake eggs with the Heart Magic Bead, Gu Zheng's eyes were finally able to focus on the Snake Queen. However, at this time, the Snake Queen finally laid the last snake egg this time. It seemed to be weak.
He usually lies on the ground motionless, even his eyes are closed.
The snake queen is really weak, but it is not so weak that it cannot open its eyes, especially when it already knows that a powerful enemy is nearby, so its fatigue is largely disguised.
Using fatigue as a disguise is actually sensing Xuan Yue's location.
Xuan Yue's invisibility technique was taught by Gu Zheng. This invisibility technique is very effective against monsters, but it does not mean that all monsters cannot be seen through. And strange monsters like the Snake Queen, although their own strength is not much
Although they are tall, they often have some wonderful magical powers, so this snake queen, who should not have discovered Xuan Yue in terms of strength, actually discovered Xuan Yue, and swiped its tail towards Xuan Yue.
Although the snake queen is not good at moving, it has two parts that are relatively flexible. One is its tail, which is related to the fact that it often lays eggs, and the other part is the snake's head plus a neck, which is related to its daily need to eat.
It has something to do with it. As for the middle part of its body, it is basically in a state of not moving because it often breeds snake eggs.
Xuan Yue was forced to reveal herself, but without Gu Zheng's instructions, she did not dare to attack the Snake Queen casually, so she dodged first.
The snake's tail swiped several times, and Xuan Yue flashed several times in succession. But what Xuan Yue didn't expect was that the swipe of the snake's tail was not only to slap her, but also to set up a formation. When this
When the formation was successfully arranged, Xuan Yue's eyes suddenly changed into a gray space, without any appearance of a basilisk.
"How is it? After catching the snake, is there anything gained?"
Gu Zheng asked with a smile. He had already seen the motive of the Snake Queen a long time ago, but there were some things that would impress Xuan Yue only after she experienced them personally, so he didn't mention them.
"Master, my disciple is really careless. When he first saw that the entrance to the cave was hidden, he was curious about how there was a formation. But after seeing the snake, he actually forgot about the formation."
Xuan Yue first reviewed it, and then spoke again: "Although my disciple's attainments in formations are not deep, if I could have paid more attention at the time, I could have discovered that it was trying to use the formations to trick me. As long as I had this awareness in advance
, naturally you won’t be trapped by its formation.”
"Then do you know how to break this trap?" Gu Zheng asked again.
"I haven't had time to use my spiritual sense to explore this trapped formation, but I feel that it is similar to a formation taught to me by my master. I think it won't take me long to break it."
Xuan Yue's voice is very confident, and her confidence is not unfounded. For things like formations, if you use your spiritual thoughts to explore them, you will be able to explore them more carefully, but if you understand some formations better, you can do it even without using your spiritual thoughts.
Clues were quickly discovered.
"Don't worry, give me some time!"
Gu Zheng paused. Knowing that Xuan Yue was curious, he said it himself before Xuan Yue asked: "I just observed the basilisk, and the Eye of Tao didn't find anything on it that would be useful in removing green spots."
, but I always have a vague feeling that it does have something we need. This feeling is wonderful. I think if you give me a little more time, I will definitely know what that thing is! You just need it first
Wait quietly for a while for the master to recover. This trapped formation will not make the situation worse. Although the Snake Queen pretended to be weak before, her weakness is indeed there, especially after setting up the fairy formation.
So staying in the trap for a while won’t have any impact.”
"Okay, Master, please feel it. I won't bother you anymore," Xuan Yue said obediently.
Gu Zheng closed his eyes and completely relaxed himself. His mind was just chasing the special feeling that came from having control over the immortal-level space artifact.
Gu Zheng had meditated on this wonderful feeling before, but he had never meditated like this. Once he really paid attention to it like now, he suddenly found that the original wonderful feeling was even more wonderful.
The original wonderful feeling made Gu Zheng feel like he was walking in the fog, and the scenery in front was always so shadowy, but now he felt that everything had become clear and clear, and that special feeling was like a fish
Also waiting for Gu Zheng ahead is Gu Zheng. Once Gu Zheng gets close to a certain range, it will swim farther.
A smile naturally appeared on Gu Zheng's face. This was a confident smile that had not appeared since he entered this space world! If it were outside, Gu Zheng's body would be just a monster, and he would escape with the speed of a fish in his heart.
, let alone he can't catch up, even Xuan Yue can't catch up! However, this is not the outside world, this is Gu Zheng's mental world. The speed Gu Zheng can have here is equivalent to his true strength.
The speed of spiritual thoughts, so Gu Zheng immediately accelerated, and he caught up with that wonderful feeling.
Gu Zheng caught up with the wonderful feeling, and a picture suddenly appeared in his mind. It was the body of the snake queen. His eyes saw the snake queen's body through the snake queen's skin. He saw that the snake queen's gallbladder was
Exuding light, that wonderful feeling originated there!
"Found it!"
Gu Zheng laughed, which shocked Xuan Yue, because Xuan Yue didn't expect that Gu Zheng could be found in such a short time! After all, although what happened to Gu Zheng in the mind world seemed to be in the past
It seems like a long time, but in reality, less than a minute has passed.
"Master, what is that?"
Surprised, but Xuan Yue was still very curious.
"The courage of the snake queen!" Gu Zheng said.
"Okay, then I'll break out of the formation now!"
Xuan Yue was in high spirits. After all, the Snake Queen had tricked her. She couldn't wait to operate on the Snake Queen.
Xuan Yue didn't take too much time to break the formation. She didn't argue at that time, but she was not idle either. She had already used her spiritual thoughts to explore this small formation space, and she had already found the way to break the formation.
method.
The palm wind was struck by Xuan Yue more than ten times in different directions in the void, and then the entire space cracked with a crisp sound.
The Snake Queen was very tired, but she did not rest. She knew that the formation could not trap Xuan Yue for too long, and she also knew that her end had come. But as the Snake Queen of the Basilisk clan, she must leave a legacy for the inheritance.
It only has the blood of the race, so it cherishes the rare time and uses magic to send the snake eggs at the bottom of the tunnel toward the cave wall.
When Xuan Yue broke through the formation and came out, the Snake Queen continued to send eggs into the cave wall. There were originally seven or eight hundred snake eggs at the bottom of the passage, but now only seven or eighty were sent by the Snake Queen.
"Pah, pah, pah!"
The batch of snake eggs that were being sent towards the cave wall by the Snake Queen lost the control of the Snake Queen's magic, and they all fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
The reason why the snake queen gave up sending the snake eggs to the cave wall was naturally to deal with Xuan Yue. Although it knew that it was no match for Xuan Yue, it still had the heart to fight to the death. Therefore, it was in that batch of pills that fell.
When it broke on the ground, the snake queen opened her mouth and swallowed Xuan Yue directly.
Although Xuan Yue could not escape the giant mouth of the snake queen, the snake queen could only hold her in her mouth. It was impossible to swallow her because the power of extreme cold had burst out from Xuan Yue's body.
Her entire body became like a source of ice, and the mouth of the snake queen began to freeze.
Now that they know that the snake eggs are what they need, Xuan Yue will naturally not hold back. With the power of extreme cold being used without reservation, it can be said that in just two breaths, the huge head of the basilisk has been frozen.
After falling heavily to the ground, it turned into ice particles all over the ground. Moreover, because the power of extreme cold was controlled by Xuan Yue, it did not damage the snake gallbladder they wanted to get.
The snake queen was dead, so getting the snake's gallbladder was just a trivial matter. After Xuan Yue opened the snake queen's intestines and disembowelled her, she quickly obtained the snake queen's inner elixir.
The Snake Queen's body is huge, but its inner elixir is not that big, just like an adult's fist. However, the Snake Queen's gallbladder is very strange, and it beats like a heart.
Gu Zheng had already come out of the inner demon bead. Xuan Yue looked at him and asked, "Master, what should I do with those snake eggs?"
"Let them live! We don't have time to delay here. We must find a suitable place for cooking immediately. If we can't cook the snake gallbladder before it stops beating, it will also lose the ability to remove green spots on the beads.
