Chapter 791 Deserted Island Cave, Black Tree Demon (asking for monthly votes)
Two quarters of an hour later, on the lake surface on the west side of the deserted island of "Taiyue Lake", the huge body of the demon king was surrounded by fish and low-level demon beasts that came smelling the smell of blood.
It's just that after these fish and water monsters came to this area, they never dared to get too close to compete for the delicious food in front of them.
After all, the "Eight-Legged Demon King" in front of them was an extremely powerful Golden Core Demon King during his lifetime. Even though he was dead, there was still a strong pressure left on the body, which made some of them not dare to approach, so they could only It kept circling under the surrounding water.
However, although most monsters are still a little afraid of the fallen monster king in front of them, there will always be bold ones who dare to come forward.
A fish demon who was only in the middle stage of Qi refining, after sneaking under the body of the "Eight-Legged Demon King" and turning around a few times, suddenly jumped out of the water and opened its mouth to attack one of the demon king's long legs.
Just when the fish demon was about to approach the demon king's corpse, a green sword light suddenly fell from the sky and stabbed directly at the anxious demon beast, leaving a big hole in its body in just an instant.
Immediately afterwards, a stream of blood spurted out from the air and fell directly on the lake below, dyeing the surrounding area blood red.
When the corpse of the fish monster fell into the water with a hint of unwillingness in its eyes, other monster fishes that smelled the smell immediately swarmed in and quickly devoured it.
After the green sword light killed the fish demon, it quickly returned to the sky and stopped next to a purple-clothed woman standing in mid-air with a flying sword.
The woman in purple killed the fish demon with one sword, immediately frightening the other nearby demon beasts, so that they could only watch from a distance and did not dare to approach the demon king's corpse at will.
Seeing this scene, Li Xiuning, who was dressed in purple, also showed a look of satisfaction on his face. He continued to patrol the water below with his flying sword in the sky.
On the corpse of the "Eight-Legged Demon King" below, Song Qingming, holding a flying sword, was busy attentively, sorting and collecting all the useful materials on the demon king.
While the two were busy in the lake, a ray of light suddenly flew from the sky far east of the desert island and quickly approached Song Qingming and the others.
"Senior Song, someone seems to be coming over there!"
Seeing this scene from a distance, Li Xiuning, who didn't know whether the other party was a friend or an enemy, immediately became nervous and spoke loudly to remind Song Qingming below.
A moment later, a green light flashed across Song Qingming's figure and he was already in the air.
Seeing that the escape light getting closer and closer in the distance was obviously familiar, Song Qingming slowly showed a smile on his face, and threw the pair of eyes that had just been cut off from the monster in his hand to Li Xiuning who was standing aside.
"It doesn't matter! It should be Qing Yu who's here. I've worked hard on you just now!"
"Thank you, senior, for your generous gift!"
After receiving the demon beast materials from Song Qingming, Li Xiuning suddenly felt a hint of joy in his heart, and put the demon king's eyes into his storage bag with a look of joy.
Although there are not many demon beast materials, it is still something belonging to the demon king. You can easily exchange it for two or three hundred spirit stones in the market.
Li Xiuning didn't do much in the battle just now. He just helped Song Qingming drive away the low-level monsters from behind. He was very happy to get these rewards.
While the two were talking, the cyan light quickly came over the desert island.
Not long after, Song Qingyu, who was wearing a green shirt and smiling, walked over to the two of them.
"Hey! I didn't expect that Seventh Brother would be so lucky to capture a Golden Core Demon King here. It seems that we are not destined to return empty-handed today."
"Regardless of whether we have gained something or not, we can't be too happy too early. There is a demon king in this place, so it is not a safe place. We should hurry up and search for the divine thunder of heaven and earth, and go back as soon as possible!"
Seeing that Song Qingyu had arrived, Song Qingming took a look at some of the monster materials still below, and decided not to waste too much time here, and first went to look for the "Heaven and Earth Divine Thunder" that Li Xiuning said.
Not only were there demon kings around this desert island, there were even shadows of demon cultivators, which made Song Qingming feel a little uneasy and didn't want to stay here too long.
After saying hello to Song Qingyu, Song Qingming took Li Xiuning back to the "Phantom Boat", and then under her guidance, the three of them quickly turned into light and disappeared.
A moment later, under a cliff in the middle of the desert island, a sudden flash of inspiration appeared and several more figures appeared.
After glancing down below, Li Xiuning quickly found a dark cave in the grass in the middle of the cliff. He turned to Song Qingming and cupped his hands and said:
"Senior, this is it. This cave is quite large and has many branching roads. The white light is in the deepest part of the cave. It is estimated to be five to six hundred feet away!"
"Yeah! Just find a place."
Seeing that Li Xiuning had determined the location of the cave, Song Qingming's face showed a hint of satisfaction.
After glancing around the cave, Song Qingming first cast a spell to release a few "Golden Fantasy Butterflies" to guard the door, then nodded to the two people beside him and walked into the cave first.
When Li Xiuning and Song Qingyu saw this, they immediately followed one after another, and the three of them soon walked into the dark cave.
As soon as he walked into the cave entrance, Song Qingming felt the cool breeze blowing out of it. From this alone, he could tell that what Li Xiuning said was true. The cave looked inconspicuous from the outside, but the space inside was definitely not small.
Taking out the luminous pearl to illuminate the surroundings, the three of them walked lightly for about a hundred feet. At this time, Song Qingming, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.
"Senior, what's wrong?"
"There seems to be something flying out in front, and there are quite a few of them. Let's wait and see what happens here!"
As soon as Song Qingming finished speaking, he immediately put away the luminous pearl in his hand.
Then there was a flash of inspiration on his body, and the magic weapon "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" flew out immediately, transforming into a relatively dim spiritual light shield, protecting the three of them together.
Li Xiuning almost lost his life in this cave before. Here
Hearing Song Qingming say something flew out, Li Xiuning's face suddenly became a little nervous. She didn't dare to say anything and could only look carefully into the depths of the cave ahead.
Although Song Qingyu, who was standing aside, had a very calm face without any worry, the three natal flying swords in her body had also been summoned by spells at this time, and they were quietly surrounding Song Qingyu.
Not long after the three of them hid aside, a very noisy "squeaking" sound came from the depths of the cave, which penetrated into the ears of several people, making Song Qingming and the others feel a little uncomfortable in their hearts.
"Be careful! The ones coming are ice-blooded bats. As long as we don't make any noise, they shouldn't notice us."
As soon as Song Qingming finished speaking, a large number of black birds appeared in front of them and flew out of the cave. Then a large number of "ice-blooded bats" flew in groups to the side of Song Qingming and others and above their heads.
These "ice-blooded bats" are just relatively ordinary low-level monsters. Most of them are still in the Qi refining stage, and only a few of the larger ones have advanced to the foundation-building stage.
"Ice-Blooded Bats" generally only know some low-level spells, spit out ice arrows to attack enemies, and are not a powerful character among monsters. They do not pose much of a threat to Jindan monks like Song Qingming.
However, there were hundreds or even thousands of "ice-blooded bats" in front of him, which was really too much, and it was quite troublesome to deal with them. Song Qingming didn't want to waste time on these monsters, so he chose to avoid them directly.
After waiting for a long time, after the last "ice-blooded bat" flew out of the cave, the somewhat uncomfortable sound gradually disappeared, and Song Qingming and the other three stood up.
"Hey! When I came here last time, I didn't encounter these ice-blooded bats. They must have come here later."
Seeing the "Ice-Blooded Bats" flying past in groups just now, Li Xiuning's face suddenly became a little more confused, and she spoke with lingering fear.
Although these "ice-blooded bats" are nothing in front of golden elixir monks like Song Qingming and Song Qingyu, they are definitely not something that middle-stage foundation-building monks like Li Xiuning can deal with at will.
When Li Xiuning, who was already seriously injured, was hiding from the Demon King in this cave, if he had encountered the situation just now, he would probably not be able to escape easily.
With her strength, once discovered by these bloodthirsty "ice-blood bats", the fate can be imagined, and there will be no chance of escaping from this deserted island.
Hearing the doubts in Li Xiuning's mouth, Song Qingming also knew what she was thinking. He nodded with a smile and said: "There is no shortage of coincidences in the world. Maybe this is your fate!"
"Senior said, if God hadn't destined me to die, I wouldn't have met you in the end!"
Hearing this, Song Qingming nodded slightly and said no more. He took out the Night Pearl again and continued to carefully explore the depths of the cave.
The "Ice-Blooded Bat" that suddenly appeared just now has proven that there are many dangers hidden in this cave. Song Qingming and the others did not dare to be careless at this moment, so they deliberately slowed down their pace for this reason.
The three of them passed through several forked roads, and after walking forward for several hundred feet, a huge cave suddenly appeared in front of them, and then a scent of medicine came from a distance, directly entering the noses of Song Qingming and others. among.
When they got here, Li Xiuning hurriedly stepped forward and said:
"Senior, this is it! It was where I saw the white light and where I was attacked by the tree demon."
"Well! You stay here first, let's go in and take a look!"
After glancing at the dark cave ahead, Song Qingming nodded slightly and asked Li Xiuning to stay where he was waiting, while he and Song Qingyu walked forward slowly.
Li Xiuning, who was standing at the entrance of the cave, saw the darkness ahead. Except for the little bits of light emitted by some elixirs, he saw no other light and couldn't help but feel worried on his face.
It has been at least seven or eight years since Li Xiuning first came here.
After such a long time, even the nearby demon king had been replaced. Li Xiuning was a little unsure whether the "Heaven and Earth Divine Thunder" he had seen with his own eyes was still here.
This time I came to hunt for treasure. If I could help Song Qingming successfully find the "Godly Thunder of Heaven and Earth" he wanted, then Li Xiuning, who had made great achievements, would definitely leave a good impression in the eyes of several Jindan ancestors of the Song family.
As long as they can get into the eyes of the ancestors of the Song family, their lives will definitely be easier in the Song family and even in the entire northeast of the Wei Kingdom in the future.
But if Song Qingming and his two people came here in vain, they would find nothing.
Although Song Qingming had promised not to blame him for this, in the future it would be difficult for him to ask for help if he had any problems.
While Li Xiuning was staring straight ahead, Song Qingming and Song Qingyu had already arrived at the location of the elixir deep in the cave.
After a brief glance, I saw that the scene in front of me was similar to what Li Xiuning said at the beginning. The entire depth of the cave was densely covered with various elixirs.
These spiritual medicines have various qualities, some of which Song Qingming has never seen before. However, the age of the medicines is generally not high. They are basically first- and second-level spiritual medicines, and there are no high-level spiritual medicines above the third level.
The spiritual energy in the depths of the cave is much richer than that outside. It must be at least at the level of the second-level upper grade to be able to cultivate so many spiritual medicines.
"I really can't believe that so many spiritual medicines can grow in this inconspicuous cave. It seems that no one has been here for a long time.
Seventh brother, it is a bit of a waste to leave these spiritual medicines here. Since we are here, don't be polite."
Seeing the many spiritual medicines in front of her, Song Qingyu's face suddenly showed a trace of joy. With a wave of her hand, she put all the spiritual medicines closest to her into the storage magic tool on her waist.
Seeing this, Song Qingming also smiled slightly, patted her waist lightly, and summoned the "Golden Wind" hidden in the spiritual beast bag, and directed it to come forward to help collect the spiritual medicines.
He himself stood in the middle, carefully staring at the medicinal field in front, searching for the white lightning that Li Xiuning mentioned.
Just as Song Qingyu and "Golden Wind" were harvesting the spiritual medicine field in front of them as fast as the wind, suddenly a very slight "hissing" sound came from the depths of the medicinal field in front.
A moment later, "Golden Wind", who was picking spiritual medicine in front, was suddenly entangled by something under his feet, and then the whole person was pulled into the depths of the medicinal field by a strong force.
At the same time, Song Qingyu, who was not far from "Golden Wind" in the depths, also discovered the abnormality of the ground in front, and immediately flew into the air with a tiptoe.
As soon as Song Qingyu was away from the ground, three or four black vines under her feet also jumped into the air and rolled directly to her position.
Seeing this, Song Qingyu's face suddenly turned cold, and then she raised her right hand lightly, and her life-long flying sword "Xuanming Jinguang Sword" had already shot out several sword lights, directly cutting those black vines into several pieces.
What surprised Song Qingyu was that after the black vines were cut off, a bunch of red liquid actually flowed out of them, like the blood of a living person, which looked a bit creepy.
After the black vines were cut off by Song Qingyu, they suddenly shrank back as if they knew that the person coming was powerful, and disappeared after a while.
At this time, "Golden Wind", who had been pulled to the depths of the medicine field not far away, also struggled to tear off the black vines under his feet under Song Qingming's command, and flew back to Song Qingming's side.
It took only a moment from the sneak attack of "Golden Wind" and Song Qingyu to the two of them getting rid of the predicament, and the originally noisy spiritual medicine field instantly returned to peace.
Standing not far away and seeing this scene, Song Qingming also showed a few smiles on his face at this moment, and took the initiative to walk towards the depths of the spiritual medicine field.
"Seventh brother, that guy should be hiding under the medicinal field. We have to think of a way to force him out first!"
"Don't worry, no matter where he hides, his roots must be at the spiritual eye of this spiritual vein. As long as the spiritual eye is found, he will naturally show up."
Unlike living creatures like monsters, after the spirit wood becomes a spirit, it is still difficult for the main body to get rid of the spiritual energy supply of the earth vein, and there is no way to move too far.
Some high-level spirit woods need to protect and hide their main bodies even if they have cultivated to the Nascent Soul Transformation Realm. Otherwise, once the main body is found by someone with ulterior motives and the spiritual energy supply is cut off, their cultivation will be quickly lost and they can only be controlled by others.
Although Song Qingming didn't see the specific cultivation of the tree demon just now, judging from the spiritual energy of the earth vein here, he can still infer that the cultivation of the tree demon in front of him should be at most the Golden Core Realm.
So he didn't have too many worries in his heart now, and he stepped forward to take the initiative to try to find it out first.
Although this tree demon's fighting ability is not very strong, its hiding and escaping skills are still very powerful. When it encounters danger, it will escape deep underground.
If its body cannot be found, no matter how powerful Song Qingming and his companions are, they will not be able to do anything to it for a while.
After walking around the depths of the spiritual medicine field, Song Qingming suddenly flew into the air, and then cast a spell to throw a few formation flags into the spiritual medicine field, and soon a small "gathering spirit formation" was set up in the spiritual medicine field.
Then Song Qingming cast a spell to activate the "gathering spirit formation" in front of him, and began to gather the spiritual energy around the spiritual medicine field. Soon, the location of the spiritual eye of the ground vein was locked by the flow rate of the spiritual energy.
"That's it, Qingyu, try it down. As long as you find the spiritual eye, you don't have to worry about that guy not coming out!"
As soon as Song Qingming finished speaking, Song Qingyu, who was in the air, moved his magic power in his hand, and the five "Xuanming Jinguang Swords" beside him had merged into one, transforming into a giant flying sword more than ten feet high.
"Sword cuts in all directions!"
Then, under the command of Song Qingyu, the "Xuanming Golden Light Sword" quickly fell to the ground pointed by Song Qingming with a powerful momentum.
The next moment, a loud "boom" sounded from the ground below, and rocks flew all around, raising a huge cloud of dust.
Li Xiuning, who was standing near the cave entrance in the distance, had just stabilized his body when he saw the aftermath coming with smoke and dust in front of him, and hurriedly cast a spell to release a shield in front of him.
After the smoke and dust dissipated, a large pit of four or five feet deep appeared on the ground.
Feeling that the spiritual energy in the deep pit in front of him was getting stronger and stronger, Song Qingming once again looked for Song Qingyu in the air and nodded slightly, and the latter cast a spell again to control the "Xuanming Golden Light Sword" beside him to fall down.
After using the natal flying sword to cut down three or four times in a row, the deep hole was already more than ten feet deep, and soon a large group of golden spiritual light appeared in front of Song Qingming and the others.
"Haha! I finally found you."
Seeing a small piece of black spiritual wood covered under the golden light ball, Song Qingming immediately guessed that it should be the body of the demon tree just now, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Just when Song Qingming wanted to approach the golden light ball, dozens of black vines suddenly emerged from the ground and blocked Song Qingming.
Not long after, a black tree with vines over ten feet high appeared quickly from the ground, with a trace of white lightning, and began to attack Song Qingming and Song Qingyu who was still in the air.
"This is! High-level divine thunder, it is indeed on you."
Seeing a ball of white lightning at the trunk of the black tree, it was the high-level divine thunder of heaven and earth that was the biggest purpose of his trip, and Song Qingming was immediately very happy.
This trip was finally not in vain!
The white lightning in front of him was much more powerful than the low-level divine thunder that Song Qingming had found before, at least it was a high-level divine thunder that could only be cultivated by Jindan cultivators.
As long as he can absorb and refine this level of divine thunder, the "Heaven Devouring Thunder Control Art" that Song Qingming is practicing in his body will definitely be greatly improved, and he may have the opportunity to directly enter the middle stage of the Golden Core.
The only thing that makes Song Qingming a little strange is that the tree demon in front of him is obviously practicing wood-attributed magical skills, and he doesn't know why it can breed such a high-level heaven and earth divine thunder.
Although he still has some doubts in his heart, seeing that the high-level heaven and earth divine thunder that he has been thinking about is right in front of him, Song Qingming has no time to think about these.
After casting the spell to release his life magic weapon "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror", Song Qingming and Song Qingyu, who are still in the air, launched an attack on the black tree demon.
The lifespan of spiritual wood in the world of cultivation is much longer than that of human cultivators or monsters. As long as there is sufficient spiritual energy supply, some high-level spiritual wood can even grow and survive for tens of thousands of years.
Since the spiritual wood has a long life span, of course its cultivation speed is much slower than that of human cultivators. Although the black tree demon in front of him has lived for at least a thousand years, his cultivation is only at the peak of the early Jindan stage.
Moreover, compared with humans and monsters, the black tree demon, which is a plant spirit, has slightly inferior magical powers.
Facing the siege of Song Qingming and Song Qingyu, two late Jindan combat forces, the black tree demon is simply unable to resist, but in order to protect its body from harm, it has no choice but to retreat and escape.
Even the black vines wrapped with white lightning could not resist the sharp sword light controlled by Song Qingyu. Before long, she cut off most of them, and the ground was already bloody.
Song Qingming controlled the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" to shoot out Xuanyang flames to continuously burn the opponent's body hidden in the spiritual eye, which also made it difficult for the wounds on the black tree demon to heal quickly, and the breath became weaker and weaker.
In less than half a minute, the black tree demon was dying under the siege of the two people from the Song family, and completely lost the ability to resist and fell to the ground.
"Hey! Brother Qi, why is there a corpse of a cultivator here?"
After knocking down the tree demon, Song Qingyu was about to go forward to check the heaven and earth thunder above the tree trunk, when he suddenly saw a figure next to the white light. He walked over and found that it was a dried corpse.
Hearing what Song Qingyu said, Song Qingming immediately followed and glanced at the corpse of the cultivator who had been entangled on the tree trunk by black vines for who knows how many years, and his face also showed some doubts.
"This corpse has not completely rotted yet. Could it be that this person was a Jindan cultivator when he was alive?" (End of this chapter)
