Chapter 259: The Bells in the Mountain of Shenzhao
"roar!"
In the woods covered with red cypresses, a leopard roar sounded.
The powerful energy burst out from the forest, causing the red cedar trees to shake violently, and an air current containing wind blades was stirred up between the trunk and branches.
"rustle."
Lin Ke performed a one-step technique, crossing three feet diagonally upward.
An invisible shadow sprinted past where he stood just now, forming a powerful explosive force that broke the red cedar trees, causing fallen leaves to fly.
On the ground, huge foot-long footprints appeared.
You can hear the roar and see the footprints, but with the naked eye, you can't see the figure of the Earth Beast.
Unknowing warriors passing by thought that Lin Ke was fighting with the air.
"The Stealth Leopard is a fourth-grade high-level earth elemental beast. Its strength is comparable to that of a warrior from the 15th Heaven. If you add its stealth ability and speed, it is enough to compete with the warriors at the early stage of the 16th Heaven. However, when you meet me
, consider it bad luck for you."
Lin Ke's soul sensed that the invisible leopard was attacking again.
Turning slightly sideways, he took a step back, accurately avoiding the invisible leopard's attack. At the same time, more than 2,700 Taoist artifact brands appeared on the bronze glove on his right hand.
The power of wind, flames, and thunder and lightning burst out from the glove at the same time, wrapping Lin Ke's arm.
"Bang."
He punched out and hit the vulnerable spot on the invisible leopard's neck.
The neck bones were broken in response.
The invisible leopard flew out diagonally and fell heavily to the ground. The skin on its neck was torn and bloody, and it was dying.
Lin Ke walked over and used the psychic method to pull out a leopard soul from its head and put it into the soul bag.
Including it, in the past four days, Lin Ke had hunted twenty-one fourth-grade earth beasts.
Taking off the bronze gloves, Lin Ke pressed his palm on the wound on the invisible leopard's neck. The vitality circulated in the blood, forming a sucking force.
The spiritual blood purchased on the market requires the blood of earth beasts to be collected first, and then refined through special secret methods, and various precious medicines are added. With the help of this technique, Lin Ke can directly extract the spiritual blood and absorb it into the body.
"Chichi."
In addition to the spiritual blood, the invisible leopard's vitality also poured into Lin Ke's palm and entered his bloodline.
However, all that vitality was absorbed by the flame bird.
After absorbing all the invisible leopard's blood and vitality, Lin Ke sat cross-legged to refine and absorb it.
Three hours later, the twenty-sixth body refining brand appeared on Lin Ke's body.
Physical strength has improved a lot.
"Only the last body-refining brand is left to complete the third stage of training. At that time, with only the physical strength, I will be able to fight against the strong men from the 16th level of the "Great Martial Scripture". If I add,
With the power of the sun and moon Yaoguang Qi and the body-refining battle beast, what level will my combat power reach?"
Lin Ke was looking forward to it in his heart.
However, condensing the twenty-seventh body refining brand is obviously not that easy. According to Lin Ke's speculation, it is necessary to absorb the spiritual blood of at least ten more fourth-grade earth element beasts before it can be successful.
It is worth mentioning that during the fight with Chu Yun, Lin Ke's blood was absorbed by the bronze gloves and actually inspired the third-layer weapon brand in the gloves.
The third layer of weapon imprints has a total of 2,300, all of which have thunder and lightning attributes.
In other words, the grade of the bronze gloves has reached the four-star elemental level.
It was precisely with the power of the bronze gloves that Lin Ke's combat power was greatly increased, and he was able to kill the invisible leopard with one punch.
The strange thing is that the bronze gloves have no weapon spirit.
Lin Ke discussed this matter with the Flame Bird. According to his guess, the bronze gauntlet is very likely, and there are also fourth and fifth layers of weapon imprints, which are extraordinary elements.
Continuing on the road, on the same day, Lin Ke entered the area where Shenzhao Mountain is located.
The temperature is rising steadily.
Daylight hours are getting longer and longer.
The vegetation on the ground gradually disappeared and was replaced by reddish-yellow rocks and sand. The heat wave that hit the face made people feel like they were in boiling water. Ordinary humans could not enter Shenzhao Mountain at all.
Shenzhao Mountain is one of the most terrifying dangers in Baijie Star. It is illuminated by the sun all year round and there is no night.
"I wonder if Shenzhao Mountain will also turn into darkness when the season of death arrives?"
Lin Ke jumped off the golden-spotted four-eyed leopard, touched its head, and said: "I know that you are full of fear of the front. Let's go. Leave here and you will be free again!"
The eyes of the golden-spotted four-eyed leopard showed a look of surprise and confusion. Finally, it turned into a golden light and rushed away from Shenzhao Mountain.
After reaching more than ten miles away, the golden-spotted four-eyed leopard stopped, stood on a boulder, roared in the direction of Lin Ke, and then disappeared among the sand and rocks.
Lin Ke still had some feelings for this mount.
Therefore, we did not kill it, draw its soul, refine its blood, or swallow its breath.
Standing in the shadow under a stalagmite that was dozens of feet high, Lin Ke released his soul and could not detect Xie Zihan's aura. He took out the original mirror and found that he had not received any message from Xie Zihan.
"Xie Crazy Granny wasn't killed by a master from the Ghost Palace, was she?"
Lin Ke sent a message to her, and then, he performed the One-Step Technique, took one step, and climbed ten feet into the air. Then, like stepping on a ladder, he took the second step, the third step...
Finally, it rose into the air and landed on the top of the stalagmite.
The so-called "stalagmites" are rocks that have been weathered and formed into the shape of bamboo shoots. They are very common in the area where Shenzhao Mountain is located.
The stalagmite at the foot of Lin Ke is very huge, like a small mountain peak.
Standing on the top of the stalagmite and looking around, you can see places hundreds of miles away.
In the distance, the majestic Shenzhao Mountain has dozens of huge peaks, each one towering to the sky.
Under the irradiation of the sun, various colors are emitted. Some peaks are inlaid with gold edges, some peaks are as dark as blood, and some peaks are red-purple, as if they contain mysterious metal substances.
There are also some mountain peaks that are shrouded in red fire mist, and only a majestic shadow can be seen faintly.
"I wonder if Feng Wenli and Xue Tao have entered Shenzhao Mountain?"
Back then, in order to collect Thousand Foot Flowers and save Xu Dayu's master, Lin Ke had entered Shenzhao Mountain and knew how dangerous it was. Even with Feng Wenli and Xue Tao's cultivation, if they were unlucky, they might fall.
"Forget it, with my current strength, even if I face Xue Tao alone, I will lose more than I win, so I'd better not rush forward."
Lin Ke gave up the idea of ambushing Feng Wenli and Xue Tao, and sat cross-legged on the top of the stalagmite, practicing while waiting for Xie Zihan.
Just wait for her for three days.
Sure enough, three days later, Xie Zihan had not arrived yet, which could only mean that she had died in the hands of the masters of the Ghost Palace. Lin Ke did not need to wait any longer and could make other plans.
The sun's rays here are far better than anywhere else.
The exercise route of the thirteenth level of the Blood Sea Scroll continuously absorbs the sunlight and transforms it into particles of sun essence light, which tempers the mixed vitality in the body.
Half an hour later, a layer of red-gold flame appeared on Lin Ke's body.
Another half hour passed, and Lin Ke was completely enveloped in flames, as if his whole body was on fire.
"The environment in Shenzhao Mountain is indeed special. The speed at which I can absorb Japanese essence is almost ten times that of other places."
"Practice for an hour is comparable to practicing for a day elsewhere."
"At this speed, it only takes twenty hours for me to completely refine the vitality in my body to the most pure state. However, all I have absorbed is the sun essence, but there is no moon essence. I don't know if it will
Will it have any adverse effects?"
Lin Ke knew very well the importance of balance.
A lonely yin cannot give birth to a lonely yang, and a lonely yang cannot grow.
Maintaining this state of cultivation, Lin carved on the top of the stalagmite and practiced for twenty hours, completely refining the mixed energy in his body.
Because he had absorbed too much Japanese essence, Lin Ke's skin had a faint red-golden sheen.
"call"
Take a deep breath.
The red-gold flames floating around the body were withdrawn from the body.
Lin Ke opened his eyes and smiled: "The thickness of the vitality actually increased by sixty feet."
Recently, he absorbed the spiritual blood of twenty-one fourth-grade earth element beasts. The vitality contained in the spiritual blood has been stored in the bloodline. As the day essence is tempered, that vitality is continuously released, which naturally makes Lin Ke's
The cultivation level increased again.
I took out the original mirror again, but still didn't receive any message from Xie Zihan.
"Is something really going to happen to her?"
After thinking about it, Lin Ke shook his head again. With Xie Zihan's cultivation and mind, even if a real person wanted to kill her, it would probably not be easy.
"Forget it, I'd better go find the fourth-grade earth beast first and condense the twenty-seventh body refining brand."
Just as Lin Ke stood up, his eyes suddenly shrank, and he saw that the fire mist covering Shenzhao Mountain was churning violently, forming a thrilling and terrifying scene.
The next moment...
"Buzz!"
A sound wave hit Lin Ke, almost knocking him off the stalagmite.
A loud and earth-shaking bell rang in his ears.
Just like the celestial bell in an ancient temple being struck, the sound is transmitted thousands of miles away.
"What's going on? Where did the bell come from?"
Lin Ke looked towards Shenzhao Mountain, and the next moment, he was startled again.
I saw earth beasts rushing out one after another as if fleeing from Shenzhao Mountain.
There is a giant blue python that is a hundred meters long, with a flower crown on its head, and a body thicker than a water tank. Each scale is as huge as a palm. It is actually a top-level fourth-level earth element beast, with strength comparable to the 16th level.
Warrior.
A black bull with a single horn rushed at the front. Its body was more than ten times larger than an elephant. As it ran for its life, it knocked down a stalagmite.
…
As far as the eye can see, there are hundreds or even thousands of earth elemental beasts, almost all of which are fourth-grade earth elemental beasts.
"Did all the Earth Beasts in Shenzhao Mountain escape? What happened? Is it related to the sound of the bell just now?"
Just as I was thinking of this, the second bell sounded from Shenzhao Mountain.
"Buzz!"
The power contained in the sound waves became even more terrifying.
The sound traveled two thousand miles away. The stalagmites at Lin Ke's feet shook violently, and even the area where Shenzhao Mountain was located was shaken by it.
No wonder those earth elemental beasts wanted to escape. It would be strange if they stayed in Shenzhao Mountain and were not injured or killed by such a terrifying sound wave.
