Chapter 195 Eliminating hidden dangers (4500 words, please subscribe)

Half an hour later, in the snake cave, next to the 35-acre spiritual field.

Yang Changxing, who had left the snake cave and returned to the snake cave several days ago, saw Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong, who had been busy in the spiritual field for nearly a month, finally finished their work and were walking out of the spiritual field. His expression was slightly moved and he made a suggestion.

"Fellow Daoist Ling, Pengyun, the spiritual field here has been opened up and the spiritual seeds have been planted. It's time to talk about the snake demon that escaped from us a month ago."

"Not long ago, I left this snake cave and returned to my Yang clan mountain. I sensed the breath of the escaped snake demon several times. It is likely that the snake demon wanted to take back the inner pill in my hand, but because of its greatly reduced strength, it did not dare to fight me head-on."

"Although I am confident that I can defeat the snake demon with no inner pill and greatly reduced strength."

"But I am not sure that I can kill it alone."

"In order to avoid alerting the enemy, I did not attack the snake demon at that time."

"I told you this this time because I plan to bring you two and your Ling clan's fairy crane king in the early stage of foundation building to lure and kill the snake demon."

Ling Yunhong, who was a little pale due to excessive consumption of spiritual power in the development of the spiritual field, agreed when he heard it.

"I agree with this. This place was originally the lair of the snake demon. If the snake is not eliminated, it will be more dangerous for Pengyun to stay here in the future."

"I agree too." Ling Pengyun also said at this time.

"You two have consumed too much energy in developing the spiritual field. You are not in the best condition. Pengyun has not yet sacrificed the second-level inferior green steel mother and child sword that I gave you not long ago. His strength is insufficient."

"Rest for three days. After three days, Pengyun sacrificed the green steel mother and child sword and lured the snake demon to death." Yang Changxing saw that Ling Yunhong and Ling Pengyun had consumed too much spiritual power in developing the spiritual field. He frowned and said.

The green steel mother and child sword is a set of magic tools, with a grade of up to the second-level inferior, divided into two flying swords, the son and the mother.

The spiritual power consumed by a set of magic tools is not much more than that consumed by a single magic tool. On the contrary, because there are more magic tools in a set, the power is several times stronger than that of a single magic tool.

Ling Yunhong and Ling Pengyun, who had consumed too much spiritual energy in developing the spiritual field, naturally agreed to Yang Changxing's proposal to lure and kill the escaped foundation-building perfect snake demon three days later.

If they were in their current state, luring and killing the foundation-building perfect snake demon would be no different from committing suicide.

Afterwards, Ling Pengyun and the others did not chat too much with Yang Changxing. They found a relatively flat place beside the 35-acre spiritual field and sat down cross-legged, absorbing the spiritual energy here into the dantian to make up for the spiritual energy consumed in developing the spiritual field these days.

As for Yang Changxing, he was not idle either. He walked to the other side of the snake cave, sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes and adjusted his breath, preparing for the battle in the near future.

Three days later, at noon.

Yang Changxing was injured and his breath was extremely low. He walked out of the entrance of the snake cave as if he had fought a battle.

As soon as he left the snake cave, he blessed a wind control technique on his body, identified a direction, and rushed out.

At the same time

Half a mile away, deep underground.

A month ago, the rock-scaled demon python that had completed its foundation building and escaped from Yang Changxing and others used the earth escape technique to walk deep underground as if on flat ground, closely following Yang Changxing who was running on the ground.

During the pursuit, the snake saw that Yang Changxing's breath was getting weaker and weaker, and there were many injuries on his body, as if he was seriously injured, and his heart was extremely complicated.

It could feel that the inner elixir that had been nurtured for hundreds of years was still on Yang Changxing.

This inner elixir was something it had nurtured for hundreds of years. If it was really lost, its cultivation would be 30% of the time when it was not victorious, which was a small thing, and its cultivation would be difficult to improve.

It now has a perfect foundation building, and it is just one step away from the golden elixir realm.

In the past, it still had a chance to impact the golden elixir realm.

But now, the inner elixir is lost, and its cultivation will not improve at all.

It is precisely because of this situation that this snake demon did not leave this place, but has been wandering around the snake cave occupied by Yang Changxing, waiting for the opportunity to snatch back the inner elixir.

In the eyes of this snake, Yang Changxing, who has a cultivation level of up to the ninth level of foundation building, was seriously injured for some reason today, which is an opportunity for it.

However, it is a little afraid that Yang Changxing was seriously injured, which is a fake.

Since it entered the foundation building, its spiritual intelligence has been awakened. With its current cultivation level, its spiritual intelligence is not weaker than that of a child in his teens. With hundreds of years of life experience, it also knows what the "strategy" is.

After considering for hundreds of breaths, the snake demon used the earth escape technique to chase the seriously injured Yang Changxing for several miles, and then made up his mind.

The inner elixir has been in the hands of cultivators for a long time, and it will be refined into elixir. If it does not act at this good opportunity today, I am afraid that its inner elixir will also turn into elixir in a few days.

Its eyes flashed red, and it looked fierce, mobilizing more spiritual power to perform the earth escape technique.

In an instant, its crawling speed deep underground increased by several times.

After a few breaths, it caught up with Yang Changxing who was rushing on the ground in front of it.

However, it did not leave the deep underground directly, but cast a spell to transform into ground spikes to attack Yang Changxing who was seriously injured during the attack.

Ground.

Yang Changxing, who was rushing, saw several ground spikes suddenly appearing on the ground and immediately responded.

He tapped the ground lightly, jumped up, and at the same time slapped the storage bag on his waist to summon a green bronze bell.

As soon as the bronze bell was taken out, it propped up a green light curtain, protecting Yang Changxing inside and resisting the several huge ground spikes that suddenly emerged from the ground.

Under the bombardment of the several ground spikes, the green light curtain shook greatly.

Relying on the magic weapon, Yang Changxing, who supported the light curtain, also had a weaker aura, which had fallen to the middle stage of foundation building. His face became paler, like thin paper.

The rock-scaled snake monster, who relied on the earth escape technique and was deep underground, was very happy to see this scene, and quickly cast several earth-related spells again, bombarding the green light curtain that protected Yang Changxing.

Not long after, the green light curtain began to show small cracks.

Deep underground, the rock-scaled snake monster with a perfect foundation saw this scene, and his eyes were full of heat.

It relied on the earth escape technique to move to the ground below Yang Changxing.

Then it swung its body vigorously, opened its huge mouth, and suddenly jumped out of the ground from deep underground, intending to bite the cracked light curtain protecting Yang Changxing and swallow Yang Changxing alive.

But when the snake jumped out from the ground, the seriously injured Yang Changxing changed his weak breath, and the powerful pressure of the ninth level of foundation building was directly revealed, and the paleness of his face disappeared.

The cracked light curtain also recovered in an instant, and the spiritual light was more shining.

Although the bite force of the rock scale snake monster with a good physique was tens of thousands of pounds, the green light curtain was supported by a second-level top-grade magic weapon, and the defense was not weak, barely resisting the bite of the snake monster.

Seeing this situation, the rock scale snake monster felt bad and quickly let go, wanting to use the earth escape technique to escape.

But Yang Changxing didn't give it a chance. He waved his hand and took out a blue talisman from his storage bag and hit the ground under him.

As soon as the talisman fell on the ground, a flash of spiritual light flashed, and an extremely cold breath surged out of it.

In just a moment, a thick layer of ice formed on the surrounding land of a hundred feet.

This thick layer of ice was not soil, and it was extremely solid. The earth escape technique that the rock-scaled snake monster had tried and tested in the past suddenly became ineffective.

The earth escape technique can only be performed when it touches the soil.

This situation made the rock-scaled snake monster panic in its heart, and there was a look of fear in its eyes.

A month ago, the power of the Guixu Flame that Yang Changxing used was still vivid in its mind.

If it fought head-on with Yang Changxing, it would have no chance of winning.

In order to save its life, the snake kept crawling to the land outside the ice layer that spread a hundred feet, trying to escape by contacting the land and performing the earth escape technique.

Seeing this, Yang Changxing whispered jokingly.

"With the help of this second-level medium-quality ice seal talisman, I wonder where you can escape this time."

Before he finished speaking, he opened his mouth and summoned his life-defining magic weapon, the Guixu Fire Furnace.

He injected several spiritual powers into it, summoned a large piece of fire from it, and trapped the rock-scaled snake monster that kept swinging its body to climb out of the ice.

Although the rock-scaled snake monster's inner strength was greatly reduced, its own physical strength was not affected.

After this snake added an earth armor technique to countless scales on its body, it could barely block the large piece of fire that swept in with those scales with extremely strong defensive power.

But this was not a solution. Although it blocked the fire, it was also blocked by the fire.

In order to break the crisis in front of it, the rock-scaled snake monster could only consume the few spiritual powers in its body due to the loss of the inner elixir, forcibly support the body-protecting Yuan Gang, and transform into a body-protecting light curtain to block the surrounding fire.

As soon as the light curtain was propped up, it swung its tail violently and rushed out of the flames.

This move was indeed useful. Even without the support of the inner elixir, the protective light curtain had extremely strong defense in a short period of time, and it was very easy to block the surrounding flames.

But just as the snake demon was about to crawl away from the ice layer that stretched for hundreds of feet, a crane cry sounded in the sky.

The cry came from the sky, and it was the Ling family's guardian spirit beast, the Immortal Crane King. Behind it were two monks, Ling Yunhong and Ling Pengyun.

As soon as the crane and the two monks arrived, they launched their respective attacks.

The Immortal Crane King spread its wings and summoned hundreds of feather arrows.

Ling Yunhong threw out eighteen Qingling swords and formed a sword formation.

Ling Pengyun threw out the long and short Qinggang mother-and-child flying swords that had just been sacrificed.

In an instant, hundreds of feather arrows, sword formations, and blue steel mother-and-child flying swords fell from the sky, blocking the path of the rock-scaled snake monster and bombarding the light curtain it held up, causing the light curtain to shake continuously. The flickering spiritual light of the light curtain also dimmed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a hundred breaths, the rock-scaled snake monster, whose inner elixir was used as spiritual power, had exhausted its spiritual power and could no longer maintain the protective light curtain.

Once the protective light curtain was broken, large pieces of flames, hundreds of feather arrows, the Earthly Evil Sword Formation, and blue steel mother-and-child flying swords all bombarded the body of the rock-scaled snake monster.

Although there was a layer of solid scales on the body of the rock-scaled snake monster that had been blessed with the Rock Armor Technique, the defensive power of the scales was weaker than the protective light curtain.

The protective light curtain was broken, so how could the solid scales on the snake monster's body be spared?

In just over ten breaths, the scales on the rock-scaled snake monster were all broken by the attack, and its body was riddled with holes from the arrows and flying swords.

This snake was dead.

Seeing this, Ling Pengyun and others all showed a touch of joy on their faces.

Once this snake died, there would be no more hidden dangers for the Ling and Yang families to jointly occupy the second-level intermediate spiritual vein of the snake cave and plant spiritual plants.

Yang Changxing, the strongest person present, whose cultivation reached the ninth level of foundation building, looked at the corpse of the rock-scale snake monster with perfect foundation building lying flat on the ice, with many holes and few solid scales left on its body, and a trace of pity appeared between his eyebrows.

"Except for the inner elixir, the only valuable thing on this snake is its hard scales. If those scales with good defensive power can be left, they can be used as some second-level medium and high-quality inner armor magic tools made of snake scales as the main material."

"What a pity."

Of course, he also understood that if the scales on the snake were not broken just now, it would be difficult to kill the snake in a short time.

Turning back, Yang Changxing transformed a sword light with his spiritual power, waved his hand and cut the huge snake corpse of five feet long into two pieces.

One piece was four feet long, and the other was only ten feet long.

Then, he raised his head and looked at the sky dozens of feet high, and Ling Yunhong, who was riding the fairy crane king, asked.

"Fellow Daoist Ling, Pengyun, you two contributed less this time, but I wasted a second-level medium-grade ice seal talisman worth at least 400 spirit stones on the market. I will take more of this snake body to make up for the loss. Do you have any objections?"

"No." Ling Yunhong saw that the ice layer that stretched for hundreds of feet had a miraculous effect in killing the snake monster. Moreover, Yang Changxing had contributed the most in killing the snake monster just now. He didn't want to conflict with Yang Changxing, who was at the ninth level of foundation building, because of the snake body that was not worth much, so he nodded and replied.

"I have no objection either." Ling Pengyun, who was riding on the Fairy Crane King with Ling Yunhong, saw the reply from his family leader, and he followed suit.

Yang Changxing, who was standing on the ice layer, was quite satisfied when he saw Ling Yunhong and Ling Pengyun's answers, and waved his hand to put the four-foot-long snake body into the storage bag.

Ling Yunhong, who was riding on the Fairy Crane King, also followed behind and put away the remaining small section of the snake body that was one foot long.

After finishing the task, the three of them quickly left the place and returned to the snake cave under the cliff that stretched for several miles away.

Ling Yunhong and Yang Changxing rested in the snake cave for a day, recovered the spiritual power consumed by the daytime battle with the snake monster, and then left the snake cave together and returned to their respective families.

At the time of parting, Ling Yunhong, as an elder, also told Ling Pengyun, who would be stationed here in the future, to pay attention to safety. Once the place was discovered by the monster beast, if the attacking monster beast was strong, he had to retreat immediately and take his life as the most important.

At the same time, he also told Ling Pengyun that every three years, he and Yang Changxing would come here together to harvest the mature spiritual plants in the 35 acres of spiritual fields in the snake cave.

Ling Pengyun and the fairy crane king in the early stage of foundation building stayed in the snake cave in the territory of Jiaomang Lake together, stationed in the snake cave, and took care of the growth of the spiritual plants in the snake cave.

Ling Yunhong left the Ling family's guardian spirit beast, the Immortal Crane King, behind to prevent the place from being discovered by monsters, and to help Ling Pengyun escape when the attacking monsters were too powerful.

Everything returned to peace, and Ling Pengyun, who was stationed in the snake cave, also replanned his future training arrangements.

Start from the early morning.

First absorb a breath of the power of the early sun for half an hour.

Water the thirty-five acres of spirit plants in the rock-scale snake cave with spiritual rain for half an hour.

Comprehend the earthly evil sword formation for half an hour.

Comprehend the sword art of the word "Rong" for half an hour

Comprehend the method of Ling Xiao's melting weapon for half an hour.

Comprehend the various spiritual patterns of the weapon refining for half an hour

Comprehend the life spell "Blue Sea Sky Sword" attached to the technique for one hour.

Comprehend Ling Xiao's ripening technique for one hour.

Use spiritual power to warm the thorny vines of the life spirit plant for one hour.

The rest of the time, except for absorbing the power of the moonlight at night, was used to refine the spirit-gathering pill for cultivation.

The fairy crane king in the snake cave, in addition to looking for food, crawled in the snake cave all day long, absorbing the rich spiritual energy contained in the snake cave for cultivation.

As for the spirit beasts that Ling Pengyun did not bring here and stayed in Lingxiao Mountain, Fengyingpeng, two pine flower spirit chickens, three earthworms, and fruit flower bee colonies, they were all handed over to Ling Yunhong who returned to the clan mountain to take care of.

Before coming here, Ling Pengyun simply went to kill the foundation-building perfect monster with Yang Changxing, and did not know that Yang Changxing was planning the spirit vein, so he did not bring the spirit beast.
