Chapter 561 Gaining Benefits
Seeing this scene, everyone who had looked relaxed just now suddenly felt nervous, and they all used their own defense methods to resist the rapid lightning.
Fortunately, although there were a lot more lightnings, the power of each lightning was about the same as before, and there was not much change. Everyone relied on the defensive magic weapons in their hands and various magic weapons to control the lightning, and they were able to quickly block the attack of the lightning. .
"This place should be a cloud thunder formation. Once someone breaks into the formation, the thunder will not stop. We have to break through quickly!"
After seeing sparks lighting up the surrounding stone pillars, the well-informed Zhao Menglian quickly reminded everyone and took the lead in flying forward, trying to quickly pass through the stone pillars in front of him.
However, she had just flown more than ten feet away when the lightning from the sky fell quickly and focused directly on her, forcing her down from the sky.
Seeing this scene, Song Qingming and others who were planning to follow immediately stopped themselves.
"It seems that in this cloud and thunder formation, people are not allowed to fly at will, and they can only walk through it step by step!" After falling from the sky, Zhao Mengli also saw some clues and immediately explained to everyone.
Seeing this, everyone could only use their strongest coping methods and move forward step by step.
Just after walking more than ten feet away, hundreds of thunder lights fell in the sky again. Although these thunder lights were not very powerful, the number was obviously increasing each time they fell, which also made everyone feel more and more pressure. .
After walking forward for some distance, as more and more lightning flashed in the sky, Zhang Tieyang, who was weaker and did not have any special means to deal with such lightning, was the first to be unable to hold on.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, I'm sorry, I really can't go any further."
Seeing the bitter look on Zhang Tieyang's face, Zhao Menglian could only nod at him and said: "If Fellow Daoist Zhang doesn't want to go in, then wait for us outside first!"
Seeing that the thunder in the black clouds above was about to fall again, Zhang Tieyang slightly arched his hands towards everyone with a look of helplessness, then immediately turned around and retreated back the way he came.
Although Zhang Tieyang also knew that the "Cloud Thunder Formation" in this place was so powerful and there was a high probability that some good things could be found in it, he did not have enough confidence to move forward due to his lack of strength.
At this point, there is still no end in sight for the sea of clouds ahead. If you continue to go forward, you will most likely be trapped once your lightning protection magic weapon is damaged or your own magic power is exhausted in advance. Died in this formation.
Being able to cultivate to the realm of golden elixir, Zhang Tieyang is naturally not a person who knows how to advance and retreat. No matter how many good things there may be in it, once he loses his life here, there will be nothing left.
After Zhang Tieyang took the initiative to withdraw, everyone continued to walk forward for a certain distance. Qingluo Zhenren, who was relying on a second-level lightning-controlling magic weapon, saw that the magic weapon in his hand was almost damaged, so he had no choice but to withdraw from the team.
Not long after, Jin Ziyuan and Yun Xinhe also chose to stop their progress due to insufficient mana. Only Zhao Mengli and Song Qingming were left in the formation to continue to persevere.
Zhao Menglian did not use any magic weapon to restrain lightning. She could persist until now mainly by relying on her own ice-attribute skills with strong defense power, as well as her own magic weapon "Xuanbing Chiling".
Song Qingming has been carrying a golden bead on his head. This bead is very magical. Every time the lightning from the sky falls, it can be directly absorbed by the bead without a trace. This also makes Song Qingming's current state , seems to be even more relaxed than Zhao Mengli.
After walking forward for some distance, Zhao Mengli, who was walking in front, suddenly saw a motionless figure lying on the ground, and couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
The two of them took a closer look and discovered that it was the corpse of a monk who was trapped in the "Thunder Cloud Formation" and had died a long time ago. This corpse still had some dry skin and flesh on it, which was worse than the white bones outside. It seems that he died much later. He should be the monk who broke in just after the "Tower of Babel" was opened last time.
"All the magic weapons on this person have been damaged. I don't know if there is anything good in this storage bag!"
After stepping forward to pick up a severely damaged magic weapon held in the corpse's hand, Zhao Menglian quickly discovered that there was a storage bag on the man's waist, and a hint of joy suddenly appeared on his face. color.
"Although hundreds of years have passed, things like spirit stones can never be damaged. No matter what, I still have to congratulate Senior Sister Zhao."
"Junior Brother Song, don't worry. Since I found this thing with you, I can't break the rules. I will share it with you after opening it." After Zhao Menglian put away the storage bag, he smiled and said Song Qingming explained.
"Haha! I'll thank Senior Sister Zhao first."
After Song Qingming bowed his hands towards Zhao Mengli, he was about to go forward, but Zhao Mengli looked around and then said: "Junior Brother Song, I don't know how long it will take to reach the end of this cloud and thunder array. I have the magic power in my body." There isn't much left, and I don't plan to go any further.
If junior brother can still hold on, then you can continue to move forward and try again. If it really doesn't work, don't force yourself too much. After all, even the golden elixir monks can be trapped here, so it's definitely not that easy to get through. "
After seeing the corpse of the golden elixir monk in front of her, the confidence on Zhao Mengli's face obviously disappeared a bit. Even if she could reach this point with her cultivation, there was still no end in sight for the "Cloud Thunder Formation" ahead. Song Qingming didn't look too surprised when he heard that she didn't plan to move forward.
"Thank you, Senior Sister Zhao, for your concern. I will try to walk a little further. If it doesn't work, I will have to go back. Please rest assured, Senior Sister, I have a sense of discretion in my heart."
After giving Song Qingming a few words of advice, Zhao Menglian threw out a spiritual light and rolled up the corpse on the ground, then turned around and retreated back the way he came.
After Zhao Menglian left, hundreds of lightning strikes came down from above Song Qingming's head, but without exception, they were all absorbed by the golden ball above his head.
The golden ball on Song Qingming's head is called the "Thunder Gathering Pearl". It is a very rare magic weapon in the world of immortality that can restrain thunder and lightning. It is made of the golden elixir in the body of the thunder-attribute demon king.
When Song Qingming followed Huo Feng into the secret realm of Taiyue Lake, he saw the power of this magic weapon with his own eyes and always thought about it.
Later, by chance, Song Qingming found an opportunity to exchange some spiritual objects for this treasure from the Fire Phoenix. Unexpectedly, entering the Babel Tower this time, it finally had the opportunity to be put to great use.
No matter how much thunder and lightning fell from above, almost all of it was swallowed up by this "Thunder Gathering Bead". It was thanks to this magic weapon that Song Qingming got here easily.
Seeing that there was no damage to the "Thunder Gathering Bead", the aura on it became stronger after being tempered by the thunder light. Song Qingming also completely let go of his worries.
No matter how far ahead there is, with this magic weapon to restrain lightning, even if you can't find anything good, you will definitely not encounter any big problems if you return the same way.
After glancing at the black clouds in the sky expressionlessly, Song Qingming raised his feet and continued walking forward.
After walking forward for several dozen feet, another corpse that had turned into bones appeared in front of him. After checking the corpse and finding nothing useful, Song Qingming continued walking forward without any further delay. .
As he went deeper and deeper into the formation, Song Qingming encountered several more similar-looking bones. Unfortunately, apart from picking up a few seriously damaged magic weapons and magic weapons on the ground, Song Qingming didn't find anything on them.
After walking for more than a mile, Song Qingming finally passed through the dark clouds and came to an open space among many stone pillars.
Seeing that there were no black clouds in the sky that could release thunder at any time, Song Qingming finally breathed a sigh of relief and carefully put away the "Thunder Gathering Bead" above his head.
In this clearing, in addition to the rocks and weeds, there were two spiritual trees full of fruits near the middle. Song Qingming stepped forward to take a closer look and found that many of these spiritual fruits were already ripe.
Seeing this scene, Song Qingming's face was filled with joy, and he summoned the golden wind to come forward and pick all the ripe spiritual fruits on the tree.
These two spiritual fruit trees are located in this "Cloud Thunder Formation". They are both quite old. One of them is an older spiritual fruit tree that has reached the third-level mid-grade. There are also many spiritual fruits that have reached the third-level quality. class.
This time, Song Qingming got a total of four third-level spiritual fruits and a dozen second-level spiritual fruits of different qualities. These things together were enough to be exchanged for tens of thousands of spiritual stones, and Song Qingming was very satisfied with this.
After counting the spiritual fruits that Jin Feng brought back, Song Qingming carefully packed them in boxes and put them into his storage bag with a satisfied look on his face.
Song Qingming would naturally not mess with the mature spiritual fruit without it. Since he had benefited from it, he always wanted to leave some opportunities for future generations.
After all, this "Tower of Babel" secret realm is only opened once in three hundred years. By the time it is opened next time, these immature fruits on the tree will almost be ripe!
If things are done too much in a place like this, it will definitely harm the merits of heaven. Song Qingming may also encounter more setbacks and hardships in his future practice.
After collecting these things, Song Qingming returned to the "Cloud Thunder Formation" and brought the skeletons of the monks he had just met who had been lying dead for hundreds of thousands of years into the middle plain, and let Jin Feng dig them up at will. A pit buried these people here one by one.
For these people to be able to come so close to the middle position, they must all be monks at the Golden elixir stage or above. However, they may not have thought that they were powerful Jin elixir ancestors during their lives, but after their death they were just ordinary people. It can be desolate to die in the wilderness here. (End of chapter)
