Chapter 128: Cave Trial (VIII)
"What do you think, Fellow Daoist Bai?" Nangong Chen looked at Bai Shuangzhi again.
When Bai Shuangzhi heard this, there was a slight hesitation on his face, and then he said: "I think we should take action. We have only walked less than a third of the Stone Forest Canyon. We don't know how many shadow pythons are behind us. Know that although everyone entered the cave for the purpose of the Purple Spirit Flower, before entering the third level, we are all still on the same path, and we should not watch our comrades being hunted by monsters and do nothing to save them."
"Fellow Taoists, there seem to be more than a dozen shadow pythons, but in fact there are only two. The most powerful thing about this shadow python is that it can separate six shadows of itself, and it can almost confuse the fake with the real one. The attack seems to be overwhelming, but in fact it is There are only two and four heads that really pose a threat to us.”
"The bone-piercing black flames they spray are second to none. As long as you use magic to protect your whole body, it's basically fine. The only thing that gives the three of me a headache is the blood-transforming venom sprayed from their other heads, no matter how powerful the magic weapon is. , as long as you are sprayed with venom, you will lose your spirituality, and only fire spells can restrain it. "
The Dzogchen monk in Dancao Mountain who was in the Qi Refining Stage also heard the discussion of several people. In order to strengthen their confidence, he directly told several people the secret he discovered while fighting the Shadow Python.
Hearing this, the hesitation on Nangong Chen's face disappeared. He seemed to have made up his mind. He looked at Wu and He and said, "If we were on the third floor of the cave, I would definitely not interfere in other people's business." Yes, but on the first and second floors of this cave, one more person means more power. The two fellow Taoists also know that the reason why the underground trials are cruel is mainly caused by the large number of monsters on the first and second floors. "
"In the end, less than half of the monks were able to successfully enter the third floor of the catacombs, so before entering the catacombs, we still have to help each other and overcome the difficulties together. With three Dancao Mountain disciples joining us, the probability of passing the second floor will increase a lot. ”
"As long as you and the three of you kill these two split shadow pythons together, the three of me are willing to form a team with you. We will work together to enter the third floor of the cave. If you can get the Purple Spirit Flower, you will join me in the future. Dancao Mountain, the three of us will also take care of one or two." Although the three people are still struggling to support themselves, one of them has already shown signs of failure. Once that person fails and falls, there will be a fatal flaw in the defense of the three. , the death of the other two is just a matter of time.
If Xiao Lin were alone, he would naturally not mind his own business, but it was different when he was with Nangong Chen and others. He couldn't give everyone a thorny image, and besides, these three Dancao Mountain outer disciples really Being able to join their team will indeed help them pass the second floor of the cave smoothly. As for what they said about taking care of one or two in the sect, he directly ignored it. This kind of pie can be seen but cannot be eaten. He didn't have the slightest interest.
"Since Fellow Daoist Bai and Fellow Daoist Xiao have both agreed to help, what do you two think?" Nangong Chen once again turned his attention to the two monks Wu and He, his expression already gloomy.
Although cooperation between cultivators usually involves interests, since they form a team, one person must make the decision. If everyone sticks to their own minds, there will be no way to cooperate. Therefore, the relationship between Wu and He Nangong Chen's attitude already made Nangong Chen a little dissatisfied.
When Wu and He heard this, they glanced at each other. The monk surnamed Wu showed an embarrassed look on his face, and then said with a smile: "Although we don't agree to meddle in other people's business, we still treat fellow Taoist Nangong as the leader. Just follow the instructions of fellow Taoist Nangong.”
After hearing this, Nangong Chen's expression softened. He nodded and said, "That's it, let's take action. After a while, fellow Daoist He and I will attack one of the shadow pythons head-on. Fellow Daoist Bai, Brother Xiao and Fellow Daoist Wu Then assist the attack from the side and try to kill or severely damage a split shadow python in the shortest time."
After assigning the attack plan, Nangong Chen raised the mountain ax in his hand, and the huge ax suddenly emitted a golden aura, wrapping the entire ax body.
At the same time, he began to recite an obscure and long spell. As the sound of the spell disappeared, a pair of pale golden spiritual armor appeared on the surface of his body. It was a primary magic golden body armor.
Although the fellow Taoist surnamed He was a little reluctant, he did not refute Nangong Chen again. He waved the black dragon-headed crutch in his hand gently, and suddenly he grew two feet larger again. He was already four feet long and his arms were as thick as his arms.
At the same time, he patted the bag on his waist, and a silver-white shield with a faint green light floated out from it. It grew to more than a foot long and then circled around his body, floating slowly.
Bai Shuangzhi and the monk named Wu also sacrificed their defensive weapons. Bai Shuangzhi sacrificed an emerald jade tablet with a faint green light, while the monk surnamed Wu sacrificed a triangular copper shield.
As for Xiao Lin, he did not use the green gold shield. After all, he was already surrounded by the Void Spirit Shield, and this time he was mainly assisting from the side, and there was no need to wrap himself up like a turtle shell.
As soon as they sacrificed the magic weapon, Nangong Chen shouted loudly, leaped into the air, and the giant ax in his hand flashed a huge golden ax shadow, and slashed towards a split shadow python.
The shadow python took a triangular look at Nangong Chen, twisted its huge body slightly, and dodged away. The speed was extremely fast. Nangong Chen's face also changed slightly, as if he was surprised by the shadow python. Quick response.
"Boom." The shadow of the ax struck directly on a stone forest several feet high. The rock suddenly split into pieces and exploded.
At the same time, seven of the dozen or so split shadow pythons suddenly locked their sights on Nangong Chen, and the seven fourteen heads spit out pitch black flames and smelly green venom at Nangong Chen at the same time.
This shocked Nangong Chen. The attack of seven shadow pythons with fourteen heads was as overwhelming as the sky. The momentum alone was enough to frighten an ordinary cultivator.
"There are actually only two shadow pythons. Each shadow python can be divided into six clones. The attack of the clones is false and will not cause any real harm." The Qi Refining Stage Dzogchen Master on the side was greatly relieved. The outer disciples of Dancao Mountain saw Nangong Chen's pale face and hurriedly spoke loudly.
Nangong Chen naturally knew that this shadow python was good at creating phantoms, but he did not dare to risk his own life to verify which one was true and which one was false. The false ones were fine, at most they were just a false alarm. If they were true, , facing the bone-piercing black flames and blood-transforming venom that can freeze people into ice sculptures, even if he is protected by a golden armor, he is not sure that he can withstand it.
But facing the black flames and green venom shield under this large cover, it was impossible to dodge. He had no choice but to bear it, and he was still praying in his heart not to encounter the real one.
Bai Shuangzhi's pretty face was solemn next to her. The small bell in her hand floated into the air with a crisp sound of "ding bell bell", and then shot out a sound wave from it, attacking the dozens of shadow pythons. This strange bell actually It is a rare group attack sonic weapon.
Under the vibration of the sound wave, one of the seven shadow pythons attacking Nangong Chen froze slightly, and his triangular eyes showed a bit of solemnity, but these slight changes were immediately noticed by Nangong Chen, and he was overjoyed.
With a slight sway of his body, he dodged the attack of the shadow python. However, even though he knew that the shadow python attacking him was just an illusion, he still didn't dare to do nothing. Instead, he held the giant ax in his hand. Blocked in front of me.
Sure enough, the large black flames and green venom, although there was no difference in the perception of the five senses from the real ones, when they fell on Nangong Chen, they melted immediately like ice and snow meeting fire, and passed directly through Nangong Chen's body. Disappear.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, don't stop the sound wave." Upon seeing this, Nangong Chen's face showed a look of surprise, and he raised the giant ax in his hand high again and slashed at the real shadow python.
The monk surnamed He on the side was not idle either. He took off the black dragon-head crutch in his hand, and with a large green glow, he smashed towards the shadow python locked by Nangong Chen.
"Be careful, this shadow python can switch between reality and reality." The Dancao Mountain outer sect disciple with Qi Refining Dzogchen next to him shouted when he saw this.
Nangong Chen was slightly startled, but he and the monk surnamed He had already launched their attacks, and it was impossible to take them back. The huge ax shadow and the dragon-headed cane hit the two heads of the split shadow python hard respectively. .
The four triangular eyes of the shadow python actually revealed a cunning light. Immediately afterwards, Nangong Chen and the monk surnamed He were surprised to feel that their attacks seemed to hit the air, without any force, like a punch. The feeling of being hit in the cotton made the mana surge inside the two of them.
At the same time, they instinctively felt the danger, and the seven shadow pythons once again launched an overwhelming attack on the two of them.
Xiao Lin on the side did not take action, but stared at the shadow python with burning eyes. This shadow python is difficult to deal with because you can't tell which one is the real body and which one is the phantom. Regardless of whether the attack from the phantom is The momentum and the smell of the venom are all the same as the real thing. As long as it doesn't really attack the monk, you can't tell the real thing from the fake one.
Even if there is a six-seventh chance of evading the attack every time, if it continues like this, the probability will be greatly reduced. Basically, one of the six or seven attacks will happen. Senhan's black flames and the blood-transforming venom that can corrode cultivators' magic weapons will be very troublesome once they are attacked.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin's heart moved slightly, and then the fire flickered in his eyes. Six dark red fireballs about the size of a head appeared a few feet above the palm of his hand. The fireballs exuded a hot breath, making the air around them also. Started to feel dazed.
"The silent-level primary spell Fire Ball Technique?" Bai Shuangzhi exclaimed on the side and couldn't help but look at Xiao Lin one more time. In her heart, Xiao Lin, with his seventh-level cultivation of Qi Refining, could actually master a primary magic spell. It is a bit incredible to practice magic to the silent level.
Although she accidentally obtained a piece of high-level material for refining magic weapons and sold tens of thousands of low-grade spiritual stones at once. She used these spiritual stones to buy spiritual elixirs for cultivation and achieved her current level of cultivation, but she was very It is clear that even if he holds tens of thousands of spiritual stones, he can only practice one or two basic spells to the silent level at most.
This made her a little curious about Xiao Lin. She really didn't know how this casual cultivator who was only at the seventh level of Qi refining could practice basic spells to the silent level.
