When Li Xuanyu was brought back from the Hengduan Mountains by Li Xuangang, he was seriously injured. As soon as he returned to Taiqiu Mountain, he had to close the cave to recuperate from his injuries.
It was not until today, half a year later, that after spending a huge amount of elixir resources, I finally regained a sense that I no longer need to continue to retreat for recuperation.
Recalling the moment of life and death in that underground space, even with Li Xuangang's always resolute temperament, he can't help but feel a little nervous.
Indeed, as he said to Li Changji, on the edge of the underground river at that time, if he had not developed the combat sensitivity over the years and had a little bit of luck favored by fate, the life of his twelfth brother might have been lost.
I was really left there.
...
Nowadays, although the Li family in Taiqiu Mountain has become a family with golden elixir stage monks, it is also considered to be the second most powerful cultivating force in the entire Tianhe region.
However, Li Xuangang, who has personally been in charge of the family for several years, knows that his family's foundation is still insufficient, and there is still a lot of gaps compared with the established Jindan family, the Qingyuanshan Wang family.
If Li Xuanyu really died in that underground space half a year ago, it would undoubtedly be a serious loss to their family.
Putting aside other blood ties, Li Xuanyu's cultivation in the foundation-building period alone, coupled with his identity as a second-level low-grade Talisman Master, is important enough to the entire Taiqiu Mountain.
If there is a loss, I don’t know when the family will be able to cultivate a clan member like Li Xuanyu again.
Besides, he was the one who took him out, and if he failed to bring him back, then...
Thinking of these, Li Xuangang could not help but feel some emotions in his heart, but Li Xuangang did not show it in front of his eighth uncle Li Changji.
He calmed down a little in his heart, and then followed the breeze and continued to tell the specific situation at that time:
"After my twelfth brother and I confirmed that the ore contained in the vein was black crystal, we prepared to return to the previous place with the few raw ores in our hands. We planned to collect those mature Nether Flowers.
.”
"But just when we turned around and walked back a few steps, there was movement in the underground river beside us."
"And this movement reacted very quickly. Even though Xuan Yu and I were always vigilant, we were still surrounded by dozens of monsters that suddenly emerged from the underground river."
Li Changji, who was also standing on the edge of the sea of clouds, also withdrew his gaze from the bottom of the mountain, then raised his head and looked towards the far distance outside Taiqiu Mountain.
In his ears, Li Xuangang's narration continued, but he actually knew what happened next and had already understood it half a year ago.
In that underground space, Li Xuangang and Li Xuanyu encountered a monster that lived in underground rivers. It was a creature that was half fish and half snake.
Its body is like a snake, but there are gills on both sides of its head, and there are multiple pairs of fins on its long body.
And in addition to these external characteristics, the most annoying thing is that these strange monsters also have sharp teeth, and from a poisonous sac in their mouths, they can also spray out a highly toxic and corrosive black mucus
.
According to Li Xuangang's previous description, Li Changji learned that most of the half-fish, half-snake creatures surrounding them were in the second-level mid-level and second-level high-level cultivation levels.
At first, although Li Xuangang and Li Xuanyu were troubled by the black mucus splashing out, they were both Foundation Establishment monks after all, and Li Xuangang had the cultivation of the later Foundation Establishment stage.
Therefore, after being caught off guard at the beginning, they gradually adapted to that fighting style, gradually took control of the battle situation, and killed some by various means.
But when they were preparing to go all out to completely eliminate those half-fish, half-snake monsters, three more larger monsters of the same type suddenly appeared from the dark river.
One head is of the third level of high quality, and two heads of the third level of the low quality!
Without hesitation, a more intense battle began in that underground space.
The fight lasted for several hours, and the rock walls on both sides of the underground river were broken into pieces, directly exposing the black crystal ore hidden in it.
Both Li Xuangang and Li Xuanyu who participated in the battle were slightly injured, and the light green blood belonging to those weird monsters was splashed all over the floor.
Flying rocks are flying everywhere, and the breath is disordered.
The light of various spells and talismans kept lighting up deep underground.
In the end, relying on Li Xuangang's powerful physical cultivation and Li Xuanyu's endless talisman attacks, the two of them were able to strangle most of the monsters.
When the battle came to an end, there were only a few dozen monster beasts left in front of them. Among them were the third-level high-grade beast and the third-level low-grade beast. As for the others, they were all second-level cultivation.
.
And they all have some injuries more or less on their bodies.
After another confrontation, the two sides temporarily separated and began to confront each other.
As the leader, the demonic beast with the highest cultivation level looked at the others of its kind on the left and right, and then turned to stare at Li Xuangang, who was getting more and more courageous as he fought on the opposite side.
Seeing that the situation was wrong, he realized that the human monks in front of him were too powerful, so he decided to retreat.
According to Li Xuangang's description of the time, it was the third-level high-grade monster that started fighting again, and with a feint, it drove the other third-order low-grade monster to lure him away from the battlefield slightly.
And entangled Li Xuanyu with the rest of the second-order ones.
But it simply turned its head and tried to escape into the dark river.
At that time, Li Xuangang, who had used the Qingling Demon Transformation Technique, saw this scene not far away, and instinctively felt that something was wrong. He quickly used the black evil-pointed spear to force away the body of the third-level low-grade monster, and then flew towards the underground river to violently attack it.
Shoot away.
But he was still a little slower. It turned out that when the third-level high-grade monster was about to escape, Li Xuanyu, who was closest to it, discovered its "intention".
Since the latter is very aware of the significance of the Nether Flowers in this underground space and the black crystal mine to his family, the family will definitely send tribesmen to take over in the future.
If such a high-level third-level monster was allowed to escape today, it would undoubtedly be a very dangerous potential threat to the clan members sent here by the following families.
Therefore, the moment he saw the monster beast trying to escape, Li Xuanyu thought clearly about the pros and cons in his mind.
He decisively activated a second-order high-grade attack talisman, and used this to get rid of the surrounding second-order monsters. Before those second-order monsters had time to react, he used his escape technique and rushed straight towards the three-level monster.
Go away with the high-grade monsters.
Li Xuanyu thought at that time that he only needed to hold the opponent for a moment, and when Ninth Brother killed another third-level monster and had his hands free, he could completely keep it here and cut off all its chances of survival.
Although Li Xuanyu has only entered the foundation building realm not long ago, as a second-level talisman master, his strength is not weak. Although he is still far behind the third-level high-grade monsters, there is still a big gap.
Judging from the fact that the other party wanted to escape immediately, there would be no problem if he went up and struggled for a while. At most, he would only have a few more injuries on his body.
A new talisman lit up in Li Xuanyu's hand, and his offensive magic weapon was already hanging in the air in front of him.
Almost in the blink of an eye, his attack had arrived and successfully entangled with the third-level high-grade monster.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred. The monster moved its body quickly, dodged Li Xuanyu's first wave of attacks, and then quickly twisted its body towards Anhe, but turned its head and directly
Attacking Li Xuanyu.
Li Xuangang, who was still in a state of emergency at the time, understood immediately when he saw this.
The third-level high-grade monster turned out to be deceiving. It had never thought about escaping before, but wanted to sacrifice another third-level low-grade monster of the same kind in exchange for a chance to kill Li Xuanyu.
"Xuan Yu, be careful!"
Li Xuangang's reminder was obviously too late. Facing the cunning monster's charged attack, Li Xuanyu could no longer react. The moment the opponent attacked with his mouth wide open, he even froze for two seconds.
Three breaths.
It wasn't until Ninth Brother Li Xuangang's reminder rang in his ears that he regained consciousness and held the magic weapon in his hand in front of him to block it.
But both Li Xuangang and Li Xuanyu himself knew that this move was meaningless.
They all knew the fighting strength of that third-level high-grade monster. Under such a powerful blow, Li Xuanyu would definitely die!
...
There was a hint of cunning in the eyes of a successful conspiracy. Although the monster was a little surprised by Li Xuangang's move to get rid of his third-level counterpart in the first place, it still succeeded.
It was sure to kill the person in front of it before the terrifyingly powerful human monk arrived, and was able to sneak into the underground river again and successfully escape.
The third-level low-grade monster behind him was still chasing him. Li Xuangang knew that if he couldn't make the most correct choice at this moment, his twelfth brother would definitely perish here.
Therefore, he made a move that was unexpected by the third-level high-grade monster.
I saw Li Xuangang suddenly stopped, and then activated the Qing Ling Demon Transformation Art to the extreme, until the whole person was covered by a layer of light blue scales, and the power of flesh and blood erupted from his body.
At that moment, it was comparable to some powerful third-level monsters.
Li Xuangang raised the black evil-pointed spear in his hand and ignored the attack from the third-level low-grade monster behind him. Li Xuangang used all his strength to throw the black evil-pointed spear.
So the next moment, just when the huge bloody mouth was about to bite Li Xuanyu's waist in half, a black stream of light with countless explosive sounds pierced the air.
The black evil pointed spear crossed the distance between the two almost instantly, directly piercing the body of the third-level high-grade monster in the air. The powerful force attached to the spear even "collapsed" the latter's huge body.
has shifted slightly.
When the black evil-pointed spear penetrated the flesh and blood and was nailed to the rock wall on the other side, the attack of the third-level high-grade monster finally failed.
But Li Xuanyu, who had narrowly escaped death, didn't have time to rejoice. Next, the demonic beast with its body turned sideways sprayed out a stream of black mucus from its mouth.
But this time, there was no new black evil spear to stop him. This sharp arrow made of black mucus with a terrifying aura hit Li Xuanyu's right abdomen firmly.
The next moment, when Li Xuangang arrived carrying the third-level low-grade monster that bit his shoulder, Li Xuanyu, who had been severely injured, had already fallen from the air.
The body fell down on the edge of the dark river, and a human-shaped pit instantly appeared in the soft river bed formed by white fine sand.
Because the black mucus was highly toxic, Li Xuanyu lost consciousness soon after landing.
In the brief moment before he closed his eyes, he only saw a ball of cyan light and shadow, following the third-level monster that wanted to escape again and dived into the dark river.
Li Xuanyu didn't know what happened next.
When he regained consciousness again, he was already lying on the Mo Qing flying boat, not far from his family's Taiqiu Mountain.
.......
.......
At the top of Taiqiu Mountain, Li Changji and Li Xuangang sat down on both sides of the stone table again.
The latter spoke:
"I killed the third-order high-grade monster, but the remaining third-order low-grade monster and some other second-order monsters were not kept. According to my speculation, they should still be deep in the underground river.
"
"In that brief moment, fortunately, Xuan Yu decisively activated the attacking magic weapon in his hand. With the help of the air wave erupted from the magic weapon, he moved his body sideways a little, avoiding the vital point. Otherwise, he might not have been able to hold on.
Back to the family."
Li Changji nodded, knowing that although what Li Xuangang said was thrilling enough, the situation at that time was definitely worse than what he said.
Moreover, the latter always talked about Li Xuanyu's experience, but did not mention the last battle in the dark river at all, and just covered it up with one word.
But Li Changji knew that he had to bear the damage of a third-level low-grade monster, then fight another third-order high-grade monster in the dark dark river, and successfully kill it.
To achieve this final result, Li Xuangang must not be as healthy as he himself did not mention, and must still have suffered some injuries.
Moreover, in order to save Li Xuanyu's life, this fighting and killing process must be very short and must be completed before those second-level monsters attack the unconscious Li Xuanyu again.
It must have been extremely difficult for Li Xuangang at that time, and he must have paid some price!
But since the latter didn't want to say anything, Li Changji didn't ask. He just nodded and asked about Li Xuanyu's current situation.
"The twelfth brother is fine now. I don't think there is any big problem with the tasks to be carried out next. What's more, the fourth uncle has been released from isolation."
He took over the family affairs again, and all matters have been properly handled by Li Xuangang.
Therefore, Li Changji does not have to worry too much in the next short period of time.
Taking advantage of the still bright sunlight at noon, he asked about the last arrangement Li Xuangang made before giving up his identity as the family leader.
"Concerning that underground space, Xuan Gang, what are your plans?"
