Chapter 73 The trial begins
Xiao Lin landed on an island about forty or fifty miles in diameter.
This island can only be considered medium among the dozens of islands, and its location is relatively remote. The entire island looks like a volcano, standing in the center of the island. The volcano is also the highest place on the entire island. The volcano is the center, and the height gradually decreases. However, this volcano has obviously not erupted for many years. The towering ancient trees on the island are often more than a hundred years old.
Xiao Lin landed in front of an open space on the island. He would not foolishly use his weapon to look for the two-legged water anaconda. The two-footed water anaconda is a gregarious monster. If he rashly breaks into its lair, no matter how powerful he is, he will still be ferocious. A lot of luck but little luck.
Mortal-level monsters, as long as they enter a high-level, have the ability to control the air for a short time. In the past, if a monk was targeted by an anaconda with two feet, he might be attacked by a number that suddenly jumped out when passing by a certain mountain forest. A two-legged anaconda attacked, and not many monks survived the sudden attack.
Although there are a lot of late-stage Qi Refining monks who come to hunt the two-legged water anaconda every year, there are also not a few who die from the two-legged water anaconda.
With Xiao Lin's cautious personality, he would not be so reckless. As soon as he arrived on the island, he controlled the Seven Blades and slashed down. He released his spiritual consciousness, covering the surrounding area of 20 to 30 feet, and then used Liuyun. The lightness technique of light body swept towards the mountain forest.
Seven or eight miles into the forest, Xiao Lin suddenly stopped. He stared at a small valley in front of him, with a thoughtful expression on his face. Then, a long and obscure spell sounded, A faint green light appeared around Xiao Lin. Following the sound of the spell, three and a half feet of crystal spiritual shields were condensed around him, appearing and disappearing intermittently.
This is the primary spell that Xiao Lin has practiced, the Void Spirit Shield. Compared to his primary Dzogchen Shining Shield, the Void Spirit Shield is more condensed, and its defensive power is also significantly higher than his Dzogchen-level Shining Shield. promote.
After activating the Xu Yuan Spirit Shield, Xiao Lin's face showed a look of satisfaction, and then he swept towards the small valley.
As soon as he arrived at the mouth of the valley, Xiao Lin's face became a little solemn. It turned out that there were three two-legged water anacondas lying dozens of feet in front of him. Each of these three two-legged water anacondas was nearly five feet long and ferocious. His head was lying on a white stone, and the two thick calves under his ribs were also facing the sky. He was lying on all fours, basking in the sun with his belly up, looking comfortable.
There was a look of hesitation on Xiao Lin's face. This two-legged water anaconda is an out-and-out mortal-level high-level monster, and it is proficient in water spells. The key is that this kind of monster lives in groups. Usually a group of two-legged water anacondas are in three groups. Above, there can even be dozens of them.
It can be said that the three two-legged water anacondas in front of him are already the smallest group. Xiao Lin did not move, but climbed up a big tree and sat between the branches. Through the dense branches and leaves, he began to observe the two-footed water anacondas. .
From the introduction given to him by Lan Cai'er at [Ancient Artifact Building], he knew that this pair of anacondas were proficient in the water spell [Spring]. Like his water arrow technique, they both belonged to the category of water spells, but their power was extremely powerful. A perfect level basic spell.
Xiao Lin knew very well what the basic spells of the Dzogchen level meant. Once the three seemingly lazy anacondas in front of him became angry, the water arrows would basically be in an uninterrupted state, and more importantly, the monsters Usually they have rough skin and thick flesh. This characteristic is not obvious in low-level monsters. The higher-level monsters have more obvious body tyranny. Some true-level monsters can even withstand some monsters by relying on their powerful bodies. Magic weapon attack.
But the only thing that gives Xiao Lin some comfort is that these high-level mortal monsters have a strong sense of territory. Usually, there will not be a second group within a few miles of a group of two-legged anacondas, otherwise They will also fight each other, and the final result will most likely be that one group succumbs to the other, or they are killed. Therefore, once they take action, Xiao Lin does not have to worry about more two-legged anacondas. Joining in, this is completely different from the low-level water dart frogs.
Three days passed quickly, and Xiao Lin was surprised to find that, except for climbing into a cave not far away to rest at night, these three two-legged anacondas spent almost all the time basking in the sun during the day, and their black scales were exposed in the sun. It shone with a faint black light, especially the three palm-sized scales under its neck, which were extraordinarily dark and shone with a metallic luster. Basically, this kind of monsters would have such scales on their necks, monks We call such scales reverse scales.
It is a material unique to snake monsters. It is rumored that as the snake monsters improve their cultivation, if they can reach the emperor level one day, they can evolve into dragons. The awakened part of the ancient bloodline will not only be extremely powerful physically, but also carry a whole body. Magical powers will also undergo earth-shaking changes.
However, in the Tianlu Mountains, such things will definitely not be allowed to happen. Even if there are a few snake monsters that can reach the emperor level, there are many high-level cultivators at the level of Jindan ancestors in the five major sects. They will definitely not allow such a heaven-defying existence at their doorsteps. Moreover, the emperor-level monsters will also threaten the low-level disciples in the five major sects. Moreover, the emperor-level monsters are full of treasures, and even have materials for refining good magic weapons. The Jindan ancestors of the five major sects will naturally not let them go. Therefore, in the entire Tianlu Mountains, there should be quite a few true-level monsters, but emperor-level monsters are definitely rare. Even if there are really any, most of them can only hide and find a way to escape from the Tianlu Mountains to continue to survive. As for the higher-level emperor-level monsters, there will never be any.
Xiao Lin knew that even if he continued to observe, he would not be able to observe anything. These two-legged anacondas did not have any special habits. The probability of them being alone was very small. Moreover, he knew very well that these snake-like monsters could usually survive for more than half a year after eating once. Moreover, after becoming monsters, they were like human cultivators. Most of them absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to support themselves. It was normal for them not to eat for several years.
Xiao Lin naturally had no idea when these three two-legged anacondas had eaten last. It was not a wise move to wait like this. Moreover, the cave trial had only been opened for more than a year, and he did not have much time to waste.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin slapped the storage bag on his waist, and a small cyan-gold shield shot out from it, surrounding him. Faint golden spots flickered in the misty green light. Xiao Lin didn't have much confidence facing three high-level mortal monsters at once. Although his main purpose was to improve his proficiency in the Void Spirit Shield, Thunder Technique and Fireball Technique, he was not sure whether the Void Spirit Shield he had just learned could withstand the attacks of three two-legged anacondas, so to be on the safe side, he also sacrificed the cyan-gold shield.
