Chapter 604: Agency conspiracy, gray shadow attack (Chapter 1)
After hearing Song Qingming's reminder, Xia Mo, who was concentrating on controlling the Qinglong phantom, nodded slightly, immediately left the place, and exchanged positions with Song Qingming, who was already prepared.
Soon, the blue dragon phantom that was attacking the formation was instantly replaced by the mighty white tiger controlled by Song Qingming.
This white tiger had just absorbed the spiritual power of the formation, and it was also extremely fierce. As soon as it raised its huge tiger claws, it rushed into the formation and continued to attack and tear the formation, without giving the opponent time to restore the formation runes.
After Xia Mo retreated, he immediately handed the already very weak Azure Dragon Shadow back to He Mengxin, and then took over the control of the Suzaku Shadow from her.
He Mengxin and Song Qingyu immediately began to extract the spiritual energy from the magic circle around them, and added it to the already dim aura of the Qinglong phantom.
When the aura of the White Tiger Beast controlled by Song Qingming was about to dim, Xia Mo immediately brought the Suzaku Beast to make up for it and continued to attack the runes on one side of the formation.
This is also the most powerful part of the "Four Elephant Formation Breaking Method". As long as four alchemy monks can be gathered together, they can use the four image beast phantoms all the time to attack the runes above the formation in turn.
After breaking a gap and destroying one or two formation eyes inside, the power of the formation can be quickly weakened, and then the large formation in front of you can be easily broken.
Xia Mo had just taken Song Qingming's hand and was about to attack the formation when several white lights suddenly appeared around the formation in front of them, and then four light blades quickly shot out towards the two of them.
"Be careful, the big formation inside started to attack us again." After seeing the white light blade appearing, Song Qingming shouted quickly and stopped immediately.
Then, while using his natal magic weapon "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" to protect himself and Xia Mo, he cast a spell to activate the Sancai Magic Formation flag that they just held in their hands, ready to use it from He Mengxin and Song Qingyu at any time. Mana is used to deal with the enemy.
The four light blades had just flown not far in front of Song Qingming. Before they touched his magic weapon, hundreds of colorful petals suddenly flew out from both sides of him. They stepped forward and easily blocked these light blades in mid-air. middle.
Seeing this scene, Song Qingming was suddenly a little surprised, opened his mouth slightly, turned around and looked behind him.
"This little attack can't hurt me. Fellow Daoist Song, you don't have to worry about me. Just take care of the two of them!" Xia Mo, who was still casting spells to control the Four Elephant Formation to attack the main formation, said to Song Qingming with a nonchalant expression. .
After hearing this, Song Qingming glanced at the flower basket magic weapon wrapped around Xia Mo's waist, and immediately realized that it was her who had just made the move, and couldn't help but show some admiration in her heart.
Although the opponent was a late-stage Jindan cultivator, Xia Mo's strength was indeed beyond Song Qingming's expectations by controlling the four-elephant beast's phantom attack formation and being able to block those light blade attacks so easily at the same time.
Seeing that the other party was really powerful with magical powers, Song Qingming also felt that he had been a little too preoccupied just now. He responded with an awkward smile to Xia Mo, and then immediately flew to Song Qingyu and Song Qingyu.
She had just withdrawn, and not long after, several more white lights lit up in the formation, heading straight for Xia Mo, but it was still the same as before, basically before she even got close to the opponent, she was struck by the flower basket magic weapon surrounding her. Blocked.
After two consecutive attacks, the third attack of the formation suddenly became a lot stronger. Not only Xia Mo's side, but also Song Qingming and the other three people not far away were also affected.
Fortunately, Song Qingming was also prepared in advance, and kept the Sancai Formation Flag tightly in his hands at all times, just to deal with this unexpected situation at will.
The three light blades coming towards these people looked fierce, but under the power of the three talents formation, He Mengxin and Song Qingyu were assisting to enhance their magic power.
Song Qingming, whose magic power suddenly became much stronger, used the magic weapon "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" to block the attacks of these formations without much effort.
After these three attacks, Song Qingming quickly changed positions with Xia Mo again.
But this time, although Song Qingming was cautious and kept staring at the surroundings, until he retreated, nothing happened to the formation.
In this way, with the cooperation of the four people, they constantly controlled the four elephant beasts to attack the formation, and the spiritual energy recovery wheel replaced them. Soon, the flowing runes on the formation became thinner and thinner.
Although the following people suffered several more attacks from the formation, because they had made some preparations in advance and under the protection of the Sancai Array, they were able to block all the attacks without any danger.
After about half an hour, the runes on one side of the formation were finally cleaned up by Song Qingming and Xia Mo.
After a loud "Bang!", the Qinglong phantom controlled by Xia Mo finally forced through the weak point of the formation and entered the formation.
Then there were several more violent noises. After several formation eyes inside were destroyed by Xia Mo, the power of the third-level high-grade formation in front of them finally began to gradually weaken.
As the power of the formation weakened, a very pure spiritual energy inside suddenly rushed towards the face, making everyone feel refreshed.
When Song Qingming and others on the side saw this, they were also very happy, and they all came towards Xia Mo with happy faces.
"Haha! Senior Sister Xia, it looks like it's done. It's hard to believe that we spent so much effort this time. Finally, the hard work pays off."
Xia Mo, who was on the side, heard what He Mengxin said and didn't say much. He just nodded slightly, his beautiful eyes still staring at the formation in front of him.
Seeing that Xia Mo didn't answer her, He Mengxin didn't ask any more questions. The two of them were close friends from the same school for many years. Naturally, He Mengxin already knew the other person's personality and wouldn't have any thoughts because of this.
After about half a stick of incense, he saw that the white mask in front of him had gradually dissipated. He Mengxin, who was a little anxious, took two steps forward to take a look, and then slowly felt relieved.
Seeing that the formation that had blocked them for a long time was finally broken, He Mengxin turned around happily and asked Xia Mo in front of her: "Sister Xia, this formation has no power anymore, can we Go in first?"
Hearing what He Mengxin said, Xia Mo was about to reply when she suddenly felt something was wrong in front of her. Her face changed slightly and she ducked to He Mengxin's side.
Seeing that something seemed wrong on Xia Mo's face, He Mengxin quickly asked softly: "Senior Sister Xia, is there anything wrong?"
As soon as He Mengxin finished speaking, before Xia Mo could reply, there were suddenly several whizzing sounds in the air from ahead.
"careful!"
Xia Mo frowned slightly and reminded a few people softly. Then a flash of inspiration appeared in her hand, and a white jade ruler magic weapon appeared immediately. With her quick casting operation, it quickly turned into a white shield to protect her body. In front of him, He Mengxin was also covered in it.
Song Qingming on the side also felt something was wrong when he heard this. He immediately picked up Song Qingyu who didn't know what was going on next to him and leaned towards Xia Mo and the other two.
As soon as the two of them made a move, a shower of silver arrows flew in front of them. Judging from the strength of the posture, it was indeed quite impressive.
Song Qingming, who had no time to get close to Xia Mo, immediately put up a protective light shield in front of him, and then used the magic weapon "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" in his body to block the two of them.
Song Qingming, who was hiding behind the magic weapon, suddenly felt as if there were more than a dozen silver arrows outside, and they quickly hit the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror".
Each of these silver arrow rains was almost as close to an ordinary strike as a golden elixir monk, and it was like continuous raindrops. Song Qingming, who was hiding in the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror", immediately felt a lot of pressure.
Seeing this, Song Qingming didn't dare to be too big, and quickly used the "invisible jade light" in his body to cover the magic weapon in front of him, strengthening the defensive ability of the magic weapon.
Faced with such a sharp attack, Song Qingming did not dare to put away the magic weapons in front of the two of them in order to worry about Song Qingyu beside him. He could only bite the bullet and hit it hard, unable to move at all.
Song Qingming didn't know how long he could withstand the silver rain of arrows. He wanted to go over to join Xia Mo and the two of them, but was afraid that he wouldn't be able to take care of Song Qingyu who was beside him. He was in a dilemma for a while.
"Fellow Daoist Song, come here quickly!"
He Mengxin also saw Song Qingming and Song Qingming in front of them. The situation was not good. He took out a cyan jade magic weapon and flew to Song Qingming and Song Qingming to help them share some of the pressure.
Song Qingming, who felt that the pressure on his body had been relieved a lot, did not hesitate when he saw this. With Song Qingyu's feet, he moved quickly, changed his position and came a few feet away.
Before the silver arrows rained down from the surrounding area, Song Qingming's figure changed again, and soon together with Song Qingyu, they entered the light shield formed by Xia Mo's manipulation of the magic weapon.
Song Qingming, who was out of danger, was slightly relieved. Fortunately, He Mengxin had helped out just now, and he had already made some progress in the Jiugong Meteor Escape Technique. Otherwise, it would not have been so simple to get out of trouble. .
After Song Qingming and the others carefully hid in the light shield, they immediately used their magic powers to inject their magic power into the white light shield in front of Xia Mo to help him fight against the rain of silver arrows that were constantly attacking from the front.
Although the arrow rain continued to attack seemingly endlessly, the white jade ruler magic weapon in Xia Mo's hand and the white shield held up by it were still as stable as a mountain, and was not even half a step back from this ferocious attack.
The silver arrow rain that attacked everyone should be a trap intentionally set by the cave owner to prevent others from forcibly breaking the formation. Once the third-level high-grade formation outside is completely destroyed, this mechanism message will be triggered.
If the person who breaks the formation is not highly cultivated, he will be easily attacked if he accidentally steps forward and approaches the formation.
If it weren't for the advanced cultivation of Xia Mo who was traveling with him this time, and the excellent defensive magic weapons on his body, it would have been difficult for Song Qingming and the others to escape from this level of attack. Otherwise, someone would be injured, or someone would be injured. I left my life here.
After a while, as the silver arrow rain in front stopped attacking, Xia Mo slowly put away the jade ruler magic weapon in front of him.
Although the white jade ruler magic weapon that Xia Mo had sacrificed just now was very powerful in blocking attacks and protecting everyone, at this moment there were a few cracks on the jade ruler and it suffered a lot of damage.
This white jade ruler is a rare third-level mid-level defensive magic weapon. It has been damaged. It is estimated that at least several thousand spiritual stones will be needed to repair it. When Song Qingming and others saw this scene, they felt a little bit a little bit in their hearts. regret.
However, Xia Mo, who was holding the jade ruler magic weapon, did not show much heartache on his face. He just glanced at the cracks on the magic weapon and put it directly into the storage magic weapon on his waist.
"Okay! Nothing should happen next. Let's go there first."
After Xia Mo glanced at the large formation that had been broken in front of him, he uttered a faint sentence, and then took the lead and walked forward.
After several people passed through the formation, they walked forward another four to five feet and entered a huge stone cave that was obviously artificially dug.
As soon as they entered the cave, the eyes of Song Qingming and others were attracted by the white jade pearls inlaid on the surrounding stone pillars.
He Mengxin waved her hand and took a pearl from the stone pillar on her right. After holding it in her hand and looking at it, she said with a look of surprise:
"Using the second-grade middle-grade moon white beads as a beacon, it seems that the owner of this cave is really rich and must be a senior Nascent Soul. When I had the chance to enter this place, I really found a big fortune. Opportunity.”
After Song Qingming glanced around, he nodded and agreed: "This cave is so completely preserved that it doesn't look like it was abandoned. It seems that this senior most likely died outside or died in the cave." ”
The length and width of this cave are more than ten feet. Although a lot of dust has fallen over thousands of years, it is fully equipped with tables, chairs, benches, and daily necessities.
The richness of the spiritual energy in the cave is almost close to the third-level high-grade spiritual vein, which is similar to that of Guiyunfang of Weiguo, and barely meets the training needs of an early Yuanying monk.
After a few people glanced around the cave, they soon discovered a dozen or so refined magical weapons and magic weapons in a corner of the cave, as well as a pile of various weapon refining materials, and some items related to them. Books and techniques related to weapon refining.
Judging from the situation at the scene, these magic weapons and magic weapons seem to have been refined by the owner of the cave himself, and they are available in individual sets. But what is a bit strange is that although these magic weapons and magic weapons vary in size and type, almost all of them are Flying sword type.
Apart from these, the remaining things in the cave, apart from some bamboo slips and manuscripts of low value, were almost nothing valuable that could be useful to everyone.
This also made the few people who entered the cave look slightly disappointed.
Although two third-level low-grade flying sword magic weapons were found, as well as a dozen second-level or higher magic weapons, there were only these few things, which was a bit shabby for a Nascent Soul monk's cave.
Since he is a late-stage Jindan monk who has been practicing for hundreds of years, it is unlikely that he only has such a few useful spiritual objects.
Moreover, after several people searched around, they did not find the body of the owner of the cave, and they did not see any of the things he needed for daily practice or weapon refining, which was indeed a bit strange.
"Let's look around carefully. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be only this little thing. The owner of the cave is so good at calculations. The real spiritual objects should be hidden by him."
After Xia Mo finished speaking, he took the initiative to walk deeper into the cave and began to examine the surrounding mountain walls in detail, hoping to find some clues.
Song Qingming and the other three also nodded and walked in one direction, carefully searching every corner of the cave.
It didn't take long for Song Qingyu to discover something was wrong under a square stone table located in the southeast corner of the cave, and he quickly called Song Qingming beside him to come over and help.
Song Qingming placed one hand on top of the stone table, and after using his spiritual sense to penetrate into the stone table, he quickly discovered a difference below. The rather special spiritual power fluctuations in the cave should be something hidden under the stone table.
Seeing this, Song Qingming used his magic power and summoned his magic weapon to protect him. Then he put his hands on top of the stone table and used his magic power to push the stone table beside him.
After a sound of friction between stones and the ground, the stone table was slowly pushed aside. Before Song Qingming lowered his head to see clearly what was going on below, a gray aura quickly flew out from under the stone table and stood aside. Song Qingyu left.
"Be careful, there are high-level monsters!"
Feeling the pressure that seemed to be stronger than his own from the gray aura, Song Qingming felt anxious and immediately controlled the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" magic weapon beside him and flew over to protect Song Qingyu.
Song Qingyu was in a weak state because the medicine in his body had just dissipated, and he was unable to activate the defensive magic weapon on his body. He could only throw a second-level middle-grade defensive talisman in front of him.
This gray spiritual light hit the golden spiritual talisman thrown by Song Qingyu as soon as it reached mid-air, forming a protective shield.
However, within a moment, a big hole was torn open in the shield, and the gray light passed directly through the shield and continued to pounce towards Song Qingyu.
Just when this gray spiritual light was about to touch Song Qingyu, it had already reached the nearby "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" and quickly shot out a purple light, suddenly fixing the gray shadow in mid-air.
Although it was only for a moment that the opponent broke free from the restraints, it also bought Song Qingyu some time, allowing her to quickly step back a dozen steps to avoid the next attack of the gray shadow.
At this moment, Song Qingming had also used the "Nine Palaces Meteor Escape Technique" and came to Song Qingyu's side, using his magic weapon to protect him behind him.
The gray shadow, seeing that Song Qingming's cultivation was not low and seemed a little difficult to deal with, ignored him and Song Qingyu and directly turned around and ran towards the exit of the cave.
"Qingyu, are you okay?"
Hearing the anxious concern in Song Qingming's tone, Song Qingyu quickly nodded and replied with a serious look: "Brother Qi, I'm fine. This monster didn't hurt me."
Seeing that Song Qingyu was fine, Song Qingming immediately turned around and started to follow the gray shadow that had just appeared, only to find that the monster had been blocked at the entrance of the cave by Xia Mo, who had arrived at some point.
At this moment, Song Qingming saw clearly that the gray shadow was a gray mouse about two feet in size. Its cultivation level was higher than that of Song Qingming. It had reached the middle stage of the Golden Core. However, the aura on its body was still a little unstable. It seemed that it was Just recently advanced.
"Fellow Daoist Song, Qingyu, are you okay?"
Just when Song Qingming was about to go over to help, He Mengxin, who noticed the movement here, also flew over a step later and asked with concern.
Song Qingming hurriedly responded: "I didn't expect there was a high-level demon king hidden here. I was a little careless just now and almost hit its path, but fellow Daoist He, don't worry, we two are fine!
Let's hurry over and help Daoist Xia, lest this demon king escapes later and it will be difficult to catch it! "
Hearing what Song Qingming said, He Mengxin nodded quickly, and the two flew to Xia Mo's side to join the battle.
This gray rat demon king is not good at fighting. He has just advanced to the middle stage of the golden elixir. If he fights alone, he may not be able to defeat the current Song Qingming.
Faced with the siege of Xia Mo, Song Qingming, and He Mengxin, they were quickly defeated and died in Xia Mo's hands in less than a stick of incense.
After He Mengxin stepped forward to check the body of the Squirrel Demon King, she saw that the monster was not very big, so she packed it in a cloth bag and put it in the storage magic weapon on her body, preparing to find it again after leaving here. Time to process the monster material on this monster king.
After installing the corpse of the monster, He Mengxin stood up thoughtfully and said:
"It seems that this demon king has just advanced. It seems that the colorful glow seen by the guy who discovered this place before should be the sound it made when it advanced."
Hearing what He Mengxin said, Song Qingming also nodded and agreed with her guess.
Whether it is a golden elixir monk or a demon king, some strange phenomena in the world will indeed occur when their cultivation reaches a certain level.
However, the visions of heaven and earth produced by this are basically different for everyone. When breaking through the small realm of the Golden Core stage, there may just be an ordinary spiritual light nearby, but if it is far away or blocked by a formation, It's not very noticeable.
When you break through from the early stage of the Golden Core to the middle stage of the Golden Core, the scale of the heaven and earth phenomena that will occur will be much larger. Generally, if you don't deliberately cover it up with formations, it will be easily discovered by people even if they are a little far away.
Moreover, as each person or monster practices different techniques, the situation will also change when the heaven and earth phenomena appear. Some are black clouds rolling in, while others are like colorful rays of light.
"This demon king has been hiding here. It is indeed a bit strange. It doesn't look like it came in from the outside. It should be a spiritual beast of the owner of the cave. It has been left here before he could take it away.
I don’t know how this demon has cultivated over the years, but it has successfully broken through to the middle stage of the golden elixir. "
Hearing Song Qingming say this, the three people standing on the spot looked at the location where the Demon King had just appeared, and soon came to a covered hole under the stone table.
