Chapter 121 Cave Trial (1)
"The entrance to the cave has been opened, you can go in." Above the void, Shangguan Jinluan's voice fell from the sky like rolling thunder, and then vibrated in the valley.
After this avalanche, many monks who had been buried in the snow also revealed their figures. Xiao Lin roughly estimated that there were at least tens of thousands of Qi Refining Stage cultivators gathered in the valley. Although in the coming Before, I had made some preparations in my heart, but when I saw so many people participating in the cave trial, Xiao Lin's face became serious.
Among the faces of many cultivators in the Qi Refining Period, some are full of solemnity like Xiao Lin, some are full of excitement, as if the opportunity in front of them is within easy reach, and some are full of worries, and even their eyes are full of worry. He looked hesitant, as if he was considering whether to enter it.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Lin launched his wind control technique and flew towards the dark circle of light on the mountain peak. Before him, countless cultivators who were closer to the circle of light had already stepped into it, almost In the blink of an eye, there were hundreds of cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage who entered it.
Xiao Lin didn't want to be left behind. He followed dozens of people, and after climbing halfway up the mountain, he plunged into the circle of light without even thinking about it.
His eyes went dark, and Xiao Lin felt a sense of dizziness. He was taken aback and hurriedly calmed down, but before he had time to do so, his eyes lit up. When he saw everything in front of him clearly, he couldn't help but marvel. .
Xiao Lin was surprised to find that he was in a primitive forest. The trees here were often hugged by several people, and the ground was covered with vines. These vines were actually entangled with those towering ancient trees, almost completely covering them. It seems that this kind of scenery is not difficult to see in the Tianlu Mountains. What surprised Xiao Lin was that the spiritual energy here was very rich. In comparison, even the Snow Ridge built on a medium-sized spiritual vein Fairy City is far inferior.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Lin suddenly felt refreshed. He was sure that practicing here would not be slower than practicing with a low-grade spirit stone. I am afraid that one day of practicing here would be enough to be worth three or five days outside. .
This surprised him inexplicably. His cultivation level was just a little short of reaching the peak of the seventh level of Qi Refining. If he could concentrate on practicing here and use the water spirit pill in his storage bag, he would be able to reach the eighth level of Qi Refining. There is hope.
However, as soon as this idea came up, Xiao Lin suppressed it. He understood that now was not the time to meditate. Not far away from him, many figures had appeared. Looking around, this whole area I don’t know how big the virgin forest is, but there are a lot of Qi Refining Stage monks coming in, so encountering people is still a high probability event, and in this cave, even former friends may become vicious. enemy.
With a thought, Xiao Lin's whole body condensed nine shields shining with crystal green light, looming around him. In this cave, there can be no carelessness, so Xiao Lin started to After sacrificing the Void Spirit Shield, he did not rush on his way, but flew to the trunk of a big tree and quietly observed the surrounding movements.
Before entering, Xiao Lin knew that it was impossible to control weapons in this cave, and the reason why it was impossible to control weapons here seemed to be different from the Wanli Snowfield. In Xiao Lin's opinion, this cave should have been invaded by someone. Forbidden air restriction, once the imperial weapon is more than twenty feet above the ground, you will feel a huge pressure falling from the sky, directly hitting the monk to the ground.
Xiao Lin was not interested in experimenting. He stood on the branches of the towering ancient tree, looking into the distance and looking for directions. At this time, several monks were gathering together not far away to discuss something. Xiao Lin He glanced at those people, but there was no reaction. There were at least three waves of people within a hundred feet around him. When he entered the cave, they would not attack him rashly without any actual conflict of interest. .
However, Xiao Lin did not relax his vigilance because of this. The Seven Blade Slash was already in his hands. As long as someone had ill intentions towards him, he would definitely strike first and retaliate in kind.
The three cultivators on Xiao Lin's left gathered together to discuss it. One of them jumped into the air and jumped towards an ancient tree. He was very fast and flew to the top of the tree in a moment. Go up, and then look around, seeming to be looking for directions just like myself.
There are three floors in this crypt, of which the first floor has the lowest risk factor, and there are many first-floor maps for sale in Xueling Fairy City. When wandering around in Xueling Fairy City, Xiao Lin bought at least ten pieces to record the first-floor maps. I also studied the jade slips carefully.
There are no Purple Spirit Flowers on the first level of this cave, so no one wants to stay on this level. They all want to enter the next level in the shortest time. The second level is different. In several extremely dangerous places , there may be purple spirit flowers growing there. The three people obviously did not intend to get entangled on this level. One of them was standing on the treetops and observing the direction.
Suddenly, a huge black shadow flashed from the side and flew through the air. The monk standing on the treetop had already raised a shield with a dim yellow light before jumping up to the treetop. Xiao Lin could tell at a glance. It turned out that the shield was a mid-level magic weapon.
When the black shadow flew through the air, the monk reacted very quickly. With one hand and one finger, the yellow shield was blocked in front of him. However, he obviously underestimated the power of the black shadow. The violent collision emitted There was a "clang" sound of metal, and the monk screamed immediately, and his body fell down from the air and landed heavily on the ground. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he passed out directly.
Xiao Lin was taken aback. Not only him, but the monk's two companions were also taken aback, with a look of horror on their faces. The side of the fainted monk was also covered with broken magic weapons. The fragments of the mid-level magic weapon were directly destroyed by the black shadow.
"It's... it's a Dzogchen-level monster." Even though they were dozens of feet away, the exclamation of the fellow monk still fell into Xiao Lin's ears. Just when the black shadow flew past, Although Xiao Lin only took a quick glance and did not see the full picture of the monster, he could generally tell that it was a monster similar to a giant eagle, with a body length of three to four feet, and its wings spread out to about five feet.
In particular, the pair of eagle claws that grabbed the shield of the fainted monk actually emitted a burning silver light. Just a glance told Xiao Lin that those giant claws were definitely not inferior to a high-level magic weapon.
The mortal level Dzogchen monster appeared on the first floor, which quite surprised Xiao Lin. He had originally planned to jump up to the treetop to check the direction, but his cautious nature still made him choose the branch, even though he was standing on the branch. , the line of sight in the distance is quite obstructed, but this towering ancient tree is one of the taller trees that Xiao Lin is looking for, so he can barely distinguish the direction.
After experiencing the attack, no one around them chose to jump up to the treetops to check their direction. Instead, like Xiao Lin, they all found an ancient tree that was tall enough, hid among the branches, and then looked into the distance to identify the direction.
After half an hour, Xiao Lin withdrew his gaze, with a thoughtful expression on his face. According to the map on the first floor, his current location should be Feimang Forest. The danger in Feimang Forest is relatively low, and he is on the first floor. To the north of the center, now Xiao Lin finally understood that the dark vortex was indeed random when it teleported many cultivators into the cave. However, one thing Xiao Lin could be sure of was that although the teleportation was random, the positions were all the same. It will only be on the first floor of this cave.
Some cultivators who are lucky can basically enter the second floor directly without any danger if they randomly arrive at the entrance of the second floor. Of course, there are those who are lucky and there are those who are not lucky. The first floor of this cave is where they live. There are countless monsters, and once they are teleported into the monster's lair, even the Dzogchen cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage have a low chance of survival.
The surrounding waves of cultivators had obviously observed the direction of the entrance to the second floor and jumped up one after another, flying towards the depths of the Feimang Forest.
Xiao Lin did not move. Although the risk factor of Fei Manglin was relatively low in comparison, it did not mean that it was really safe. Moreover, the cultivator who drew the first-level map only mapped the route he walked. Although he Being able to walk through the Feimang Forest without incident does not mean that there is really no danger. After all, those who encounter danger may have died and cannot go out to draw maps.
Those waves of cultivators obviously entered the cave in teams. This method is very common. Even Xiao Lin planned to use this method at the beginning, but after careful consideration, he gave up the idea. , but planned to enter the cave alone, and move alone in the cave without going with others.
As for the reason, it is not difficult to guess. You must know that the purpose of cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage participating in this cave trial is to pick a Purple Spirit Flower. Before the Purple Spirit Flower was discovered, there was naturally no relationship between the cultivators in the team. In any conflict, in addition to guarding against the evil hands of evil-minded people, when encountering monsters or cultivators with malicious intentions, they can also unite to fight against the enemy, which naturally greatly increases the chance of survival.
Once the Purple Spirit Flower is discovered, this kind of team becomes more fragile. Teammates who previously fought together against powerful enemies may become deadly enemies in an instant. At any time, a magic weapon will fly from the side and kill them. kill.
Xiao Lin admitted that he had no interest in this kind of frightening trial method, but would rather take more risks and act alone. Of course, among the many cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage who entered the cave for trials, apart from those who formed a team, Basically they have the same thoughts as Xiao Lin.
After sensing that several waves of people around him had left, Xiao Lin jumped down from the ancient tree, holding the Seven-Blade Slash tightly in his hand. There were nine looming green shields floating around him. Xiao Lin used the wind control technique to follow them. Several waves of people flew behind them towards the depths of Feimang Forest.
