In the deep area of Lingming Demon Valley are several huge black peaks, which are covered with dense forests. The thickest yellow demon aura in the entire Demon Valley is shrouded in the sky all year round. Even the trees in the forest are stained by the demon aura and turn slightly yellow. , and it was very quiet among the several peaks, as if there were no living creatures!
One day, at the foot of a mountain in the westernmost part of the deep area, a man and a woman were walking over, it was Lu Kun and Shen Mengyao.
Lu Kun's clothes were somewhat damaged at this time, and there were a lot of blood stains. There was still a lot of dust on his face, and his eyes were vaguely red. Shen Mengyao beside him was extremely tired, and her hair was messy, although she didn't seem to be hurt in any way. , but the mana in his body is extremely sparse.
It had been four days since they crossed the river. Without Xiao Jin's guidance, and without the deterrence of the vicious badger beasts and red fire demon bees, they encountered a large number of demonic beasts almost every day.
In the afternoon of the first day, we encountered a herd of green-horned black bulls. There were hundreds of mid-level demon bulls and nearly ten upper-level demon bulls. They rushed towards them on the grassland with the momentum of a hundred bulls. It was too scary, and finally they relied on Lu Kun's body-control flying technique to escape into the forest to get rid of these monster cows.
But who knew that early the next morning, he would encounter a group of steel-backed pigs in the forest again. They were the kind of demon pigs with steel spines on their backs that Lu Kun encountered in the Luyang Mountains. There were nearly twenty of these demon pigs. , there are six in the upper class, and the others are in the middle class.
After Lu Kun and Shen Mengyao killed three high-level demon pigs with thunderous means, the other wild boars began to take turns to activate the steel thorns. Fortunately, Shen Mengyao's defensive magic weapon, the Soul-Restraining Umbrella, was quite magical and could withstand the steel thorns. , they finally killed these demon pigs.
In the next few days, the two of them also encountered various groups of monsters and beasts, and survived without any danger. The most dangerous situation occurred one day ago.
They encountered seven or eight high-level demonic beasts and petrified lizards. Before encountering them, Lu Kun and Shen Mengyao had killed many demonic beasts. The fire attribute spiritual power in Lu Kun's body had been completely used up. Shen Mengyao His mana has also bottomed out.
Being attacked by seven or eight high-level monsters, even if Lu Kun was physically strong and had no magic power or fire spirit power in his body, he could not withstand it. However, Shen Mengyao had no magic power and was not as good as ordinary warriors. They did not fight for long. He was hit by the petrification technique of these basilisks.
Lu Kun protected Shen Mengyao under him at the critical moment. The petrification technique only covered Lu Kun and the ground, wrapping them into a rock embedded in the ground. As long as they were in this rock for a long time, they would be petrified. , and then the basilisk will eat the petrified corpse as food.
Lu Kun couldn't last long inside the rock, let alone Shen Mengyao, whose body was more fragile, so he had to attract the demon energy into his body again, use demon fire to break the rock, and use double sticks without hesitation of demon power. Kill all the basilisks.
This time using demonic energy, Lu Kun consciously stayed awake and tried to use the magical power of the hidden spirit root to hide his spiritual consciousness. The result was very effective. Although the bloodthirsty intention still appeared in the end, it did not make Lu Kun lose his mind.
After killing these basilisks, they came to the western edge of the deep area. There was already the aura of the top-level monsters here, so it was relatively safe.
Lu Kun searched for a while and found a stone cave. At this moment, he still had some demonic energy left in his body and had some ability to protect himself, so he asked Shen Mengyao to recover first and said: "Fairy Shen, it should be safer here. , you should restore your mana first!"
Shen Mengyao's face was pale and her eyes were a little dull. After hearing Lu Kun's words, she slowly walked into the cave. At this time, she still had a little mana left in her body, which was reserved for activating the isolation circle. After the formation, Shen Mengyao took out a blue spiritual stone and eagerly absorbed the spiritual energy in it.
She stayed in the cave for a whole day and night, and finally came out with a rosy complexion. In the previous battles, she was protected by Lu Kun and did not receive major injuries, but various minor injuries had been accumulated in her body. Taking advantage of the fact that it was relatively safe here, I took a few healing pills and took good care of myself. My cultivation also improved and I reached the top of the twelfth floor.
Seeing that Shen Mengyao had finally returned to her best condition, Lu Kun felt relieved and said, "The fairy has finally recovered. I have to ask the fairy to reward me with a fire-attribute spirit stone. Now I have no mana and no storage bag." Unable to open it!"
Shen Mengyao nodded, looking at the exhausted Lu Kun, feeling a little distressed, she took out a spiritual stone and a bottle of elixir, and said softly: "Lu Kun, please take this bottle of healing elixir. , you must be seriously injured too!"
Lu Kun fought using body training techniques, and the injuries he suffered were all on his physical body. He did not need the healing pills of ordinary immortal cultivators. However, after seeing Shen Mengyao's concerned expression, he still accepted it and turned around and walked into the stone. In the cave.
Shen Mengyao looked at Lu Kun's figure outside the cave, dumbfounded. In the past three days, it could be said that she and Lu Kun had depended on each other for life and death. Especially the last time they encountered the petrified lizard, Lu Kun completely sacrificed his life to save her.
In so many battles, Shen Mengyao found that Lu Kun had never released other spells except the fireball spell, which was a complete waste of the talent of the alien spirit root. You must know that some spells are very effective against groups of monsters.
She also found that Lu Kun's strength was somewhat lower than in the past few days. Shen Mengyao asked vaguely, and Lu Kun did not hide anything and told the situation about his hidden spiritual roots.
Shen Mengyao was shocked when she heard that Lu Kun's Hidden Spiritual Root appeared only once every five days. She could not imagine how Lu Kun had reached the advanced stage of Qi refining, and kept muttering about monsters.
You must know that his cultivation time is only one-sixth of that of normal immortal cultivators!
After Shen Mengyao was surprised, she looked a little melancholy these days, worried about whether Lu Kun could break through the foundation!
Although Lu Kun has reached the late stage of Qi refining, it is extremely difficult to build a foundation. Normal spiritual root building requires a month of seclusion. With the characteristics of Lu Kun's hidden spiritual roots, it will take half a year of seclusion. Moreover, he has spent half a year in seclusion. My practice is intermittent, and there is no way to break through the bottleneck in one go.
Besides, it would take a normal monk a month to absorb all the medicinal power of a foundation-building pill, but Lu Kun could only absorb one-sixth of it.
If the remaining medicinal power remains in the body for too long, it will cause damage to the body. However, Lu Kun's body seems to be very powerful. These injuries to ordinary immortal cultivators should not hurt him. Based on the medicinal power, Lu Kun must be at least six One Foundation Building Pill is equivalent to the amount that an ordinary monk can absorb.
Since he absorbs the power of the medicine intermittently and cannot break through it in one breath, then the Foundation Establishment Pill will have to wait for a long time!
After Shen Mengyao thought about this, she secretly made a decision in her heart.
…
At the other end of the deep area, that is, under the northernmost mountain peak, there is a handsome young man of about twenty-five years old, sitting cross-legged behind a big rock with his eyes closed and he has been sitting cross-legged for an unknown amount of time.
Suddenly, not far from him, a yellow light flashed, and a wretched figure appeared.
These two people are Du Yuanshan and Pan Shu.
Du Yuanshan opened his eyes after Pan Shu appeared and said, "Are you encountering trouble on the road? Otherwise, with your Earth Escape Technique, you should have arrived two days ago!"
Pan Shu showed a helpless look and said, "I met a few people from the Yueyang Sect on the road and was almost surrounded by them!"
When Du Yuanshan heard that the Yueyang Sect members looked nervous, he asked: "Then, they probably don't know that our destination is deep inside!"
Pan Shu continued: "Fortunately, I was more cautious and escaped without being surrounded by them. But what happens next..."
"What happens next?"
Pan Shu showed fear and murmured: "Then a top-level badger beast appeared! I took advantage of them to fight with the badger beast and ran away quickly. Just in case, I took a long detour. That’s why I arrived so late.”
When Du Yuanshan heard about the "top-level badger beast", he was shocked, but then he showed a bit of joy and said: "When encountering such a ferocious beast, the Yueyang Sect will definitely be in trouble. It seems that the current competition The only opponents are Shen Mengyao and the others!"
Pan Shu said: "They have nothing to fear. By the way, why haven't you seen the Fu brothers?"
Only then did Pan Shu realize that the Fu brothers were nowhere to be seen, so he changed the topic.
When Du Yuanshan heard Pan Shu mention the Fu brothers, he felt a little irritated for no reason, and said, "Wait for them for two more days! If they don't come yet, it means there is a lot of danger!"
…
At the foot of the western peak in the deep area, Lu Kun and Shen Mengyao were standing outside the cave, looking into the cave with surprise on their faces. There was a gray figure in the cave practicing cross-legged!
Shen Mengyao said nervously: "Xiao Jin seems to have eaten the gallbladder of a black-horned snake before he fell asleep. Now that he has absorbed so much demonic energy, is there any danger?"
Lu Kun watched Xiao Jin perform the Vajra Technique and felt the strong demonic energy in the cave. He also looked a little worried and said: "Xiaojin's talent is unique. He can absorb so much demonic energy. It won't be a big problem. I'm afraid it will." Attract other monsters to come over!"
Shen Mengyao felt the demonic energy equivalent to the upper level and said: "I set up a formation at the entrance of the cave just in case, but Xiao Jin's talent is too amazing. He hasn't reached the peak of the intermediate level some time ago, and now he has to Breakthrough!"
Lu Kun's understanding of the Vajra Art practiced by Xiao Jin can be said to be better than that of Xiao Jin himself. In fact, most of the demon energy is used to temper the body, and only a small part will be truly transformed into demon spirit power. He shook his head and said: " No, Xiao Jin should reach the peak of the intermediate level at most this time!"
As soon as Lu Kun finished saying this, the demonic aura began to decrease. Shen Mengyao also felt the change and did not continue to arrange the formation.
After a cup of tea, the demonic aura in the cave dissipated, and a gray figure quickly sprang out and jumped on Lu Kun, grinning with a happy expression on his face. Lu Kun felt carefully and found that Xiao Jin's strength had greatly improved. The sixth level of Diamond Art has been completed, but the demon spirit power in the body is still a little short of the peak of the intermediate level.
Presumably, after entering the seventh level of Diamond Art, you will be able to reach the peak intermediate level. After completing the seventh level, you should be able to advance to become a first-level upper-level monster.
