Two days later, Li Xuangang and his party of four had approached the edge of the family's area of responsibility. They searched the dense forest, but did not encounter any monsters.
At this time, the night has been drawn away. Because there is a faint moonlight, the light does not appear dim.
Just when Li Xuantian decided to take Li Xuangang and three others back as planned and returned to the Lingshan stronghold.
Instead, they discovered a huge cave and huge fluctuations of spiritual energy emanating from the cave.
After feeling this level of spiritual energy fluctuations, Li Xuangang and the other four people immediately stopped. Then immediately, they activated the first-level high-grade breath-containing talisman given to them by their seventh uncle Li Changzhi, suppressing their own breath to
limit.
Li Xuangang quickly glanced in the direction of the cave, and then whispered to Li Xuantian, Li Xuankun and Li Xuanyu who were around him:
"This level of spiritual energy fluctuation has exceeded the scope of the Qi refining stage. It is very likely that there is a third-level monster inside."
Hearing this, Li Xuantian also nodded and said:
"Xuan Gang and I have the same opinion. Judging from the aura coming out of it, this is very similar to the third-order colorful tiger we encountered in Lingshan before. Although the aura inside is not as violent as the colorful tiger, it must have been
It’s not something we can handle.”
Then, the four of them carefully and quickly retreated some distance to ensure safety.
They didn't stop until they felt they were far enough away from the cave.
In order to make his prediction more accurate, Li Xuantian led the other three people to climb to a surrounding high ground.
From this high ground, you can just see the entrance of the cave.
When they reached the top of the highland, the four of them found a place to hide their figures, and then carefully observed the entrance of the cave with a trace of nervousness on their faces.
As the fluctuations of the spiritual energy inside became larger and larger, Li Xuangang's brows began to wrinkle and his expression became serious. He seemed to have thought of something.
After Li Xuangang thought for a moment, he said softly:
"I think the spiritual energy fluctuations in the cave are a bit weird. Well...it doesn't seem to be as pure as the aura emitted by the third-order monsters we have seen."
Hearing what Li Xuangang said, Li Xuankun and Li Xuanyu were both a little confused. They didn't notice anything strange, but they knew that the ninth brother Li Xuangang would not make a mistake, so they subconsciously turned to look at the second brother Li Xuantian, wanting to learn from him.
Get some answers.
Similarly, after this moment of observation, Li Xuantian also began to feel that the fluctuations of spiritual energy inside were somewhat unusual.
Moreover, Li Xuantian has a more powerful spiritual consciousness than Li Xuangang, so he can perceive more things than him.
Li Xuantian took Li Xuangang's words, and then combined with the breath he felt, he said:
"Xuan Gang's perception is correct. I suspect that there is not only one third-order monster in this cave. Because in the spiritual energy fluctuations coming from the cave entrance, in addition to sensing the aura belonging to the third-order monster, I also noticed a
...the aura of a monk."
After saying this, Li Xuantian thought about it for a moment before continuing:
"Besides... well... I also felt another kind of breath. This kind of breath was very unstable, but very peaceful. I seemed to have sensed this kind of breath there.
I just couldn’t remember it at the moment.”
After hearing Li Xuantian describe what he sensed, Li Xuangang immediately identified the strangeness in these spiritual energy fluctuations.
In addition, he also had some guesses about the unstable yet peaceful aura that Li Xuantian mentioned.
Li Xuangang silently estimated in his mind how likely his guess was, and he felt that his guess was close to ten.
So after hesitating for a moment, Li Xuangang still expressed his thoughts.
"If I perceive it correctly, the last breath that the second brother mentioned should belong to a spiritual plant that has just advanced, because only spiritual plants that have just advanced can have this kind of unstable but peaceful breath.
, judging from the fluctuations of spiritual energy it emits, I guess it is a spiritual plant that has just entered the third level, but I don’t know the specific type yet.”
After hearing Li Xuangang's words, Li Xuantian also reacted and said:
"Hearing Xuangang's reminder, I also remembered where I had sensed this familiar aura. This aura is very similar to the green plum tree on the top of Taiqiu Mountain, but its aura is not as strong as the green plum tree.
Intense."
After saying this, Li Xuantian glanced at Li Xuangang, and then said:
"In this case, it seems that Xuan Gang's inference is correct."
The four people who came to a general conclusion still knew nothing about the situation inside the cave, but at least they had some idea.
After Li Xuantian and Li Xuangang's analysis, Li Xuanyu's worries were relieved a lot.
At first, when he was assigned to a team with his second brother Li Xuantian and ninth brother Li Xuangang, he was a little worried because there were no seniors with clear names in the team. But from this period of time, it seemed that his worries were somewhat unnecessary.
No matter in terms of combat power or the way they handle situations, the second brother Li Xuantian and the ninth brother Li Xuangang are the best among the Qi refining monks I have ever seen.
In addition, when Li Xuanyu was in Taiqiu Mountain, he knew that Ninth Brother Li Xuangang was quite talented in spiritual plants, but he did not expect that he could actually tell that there was a spiritual plant that had just entered the third level just by the breath of a spiritual energy fluctuation.
Although Li Xuanyu did not feel this aura, judging from the comments of second brother Li Xuantian, ninth brother Li Xuangang's guess was probably true.
...
The four of them waited here for about a cup of tea, and then they discovered that the fluctuations of spiritual energy coming from the cave began to become more and more intense, and even tended to gradually spread towards the entrance of the cave.
Feeling this trend, Li Xuantian reminded:
"Pay attention to suppressing the breath."
The other three people also followed the instructions, although the high ground they were in was already some distance away from the cave. Logically speaking, they would not be sensed by the third-level monsters inside, but there was nothing wrong with being careful.
After the four of them suppressed their breath a lot, a figure suddenly flew out of the cave.
Before Li Xuangang and the others could react, another long black shadow followed the figure out.
The four of them felt huge waves in their hearts. It turned out that this was a battle between a foundation-building monk and a third-level monster.
The four of them also recognized this third-level monster, which was a black python equivalent to the early stage of foundation building. In their sight, this black python was more than ten feet long.
Next, on a flat ground in the cave, the third-order black python stopped the foundation-building monk, and then another battle broke out between them.
And it was obvious that the foundation-building monk was at a disadvantage.
However, the four of them, Li Xuangang, had no intention of helping. They just watched the development of the situation quietly, and were considering how to handle this matter in order to bring the greatest benefit to the family.
The reason why the four of them did this was that, on the one hand, the four of them had only reached the Qi Refining Stage and were not qualified to participate in a battle of this level. On the other hand, even if the four of them had the ability to participate, they would probably still choose to sit back and watch.
.
This is the norm in the world of cultivation. As long as they are not relatives or members of the same sect, most monks do not have the urge to draw swords to help each other. Even from the first step they enter the world of cultivation, the teachers in the sect and the elders in the family will
Consciously cultivate this concept in them.
The two parties involved in the fight were already a big step ahead of Li Xuangang and the other four, and a casual blow could kill them. Therefore, it stands to reason that they should run as far as they can without being discovered.
But this kind of battle at the foundation-building level is rare for the four Lis in the Qi refining stage.
Whether it is to deal with this incident better in the future, or to understand the fighting methods between foundation-building realms, they must continue to watch.
The former reason is to provide the family with more detailed information for future actions. The latter reason is to gain some experience in dealing with foundation-building monsters.
Of course, apart from these two reasons, the four of them stayed here to observe the battle situation.
There is another most important reason, that is, the four of them believe that they are in a safe environment and will not be affected by this battle. If they had sensed any danger, they would have fled as usual.
...
As time went by, the battle was getting closer and closer to the end, and the four of them, Li Xuangang, were more careful to cover their auras.
Because after the foundation-building monk and the third-level black forest python decide the winner, the remaining party will have no interference, and their perception ability will definitely improve to a higher level, and they may be able to sense their existence.
However, since the four people still dare to stay here, they are not without support. Their support is the breath gathering talisman given to them by their seventh uncle Li Changzhi. As long as this talisman is still effective, the probability of them being discovered is low.
At the end of the line of sight of the four people, the foundation-building monk was suspended in mid-air, holding a sword-shaped magic weapon emitting fiery red aura in his hand.
But his condition was not very good. There were some injuries on his body at this time, and he could no longer cast spells accurately.
Among the injuries he suffered, a penetrating wound to his back was the most serious.
This was because he had just entered the cave and was temporarily distracted by the third-level spiritual plant inside. He was accidentally attacked by the lurking Black Forest Python without paying attention.
It was precisely because of this that he was constantly suppressed by this Black Forest Python of the same level in subsequent battles.
At this point, he already knew that he had a low chance of getting the third-level spiritual plant again, so he began to want to escape from the meaningless battle with this black forest python.
But the third-level Black Forest Python that was confronting him didn't think so. While speeding up its offensive, it consciously blocked the retreat of the human Foundation-Building Monk.
Gradually, the foundation-building monk also came to know the plan of this black forest python, but he had no better way.
Seriously injured, he could only deal with the endless attacks of this black forest python, unable to break through the opponent's defense line.
And whenever he was about to fly into the air, this black forest python could always accurately condense a water arrow from its mouth, launch an attack, and block his flight.
When he felt that the spiritual power in his body was getting less and less, this foundation-building monk knew that he could not continue to consume it like this. He must find a way to get rid of the entanglement of this black forest python, otherwise it is very likely that he would be killed today.
The day when death disappears.
Afterwards, he seemed to be cruel and took out a shining silver talisman from his storage bag.
But the Black Forest Python also noticed his move and sensed the huge energy contained in the silver talisman, so it didn't give him time to activate the talisman.
The two sides were in a stalemate for a while. The foundation-building monk was avoiding the Black Forest Python's attack while struggling to find an opportunity to use the talisman.
