Chapter 536: Standing Out from the Crowd
Cao Kaiwen's brows furrowed, obviously a little dissatisfied. Su Yunqing's attitude was very unhappy with him. However, he didn't say much. The main thing is that Xia Xingxiao's level is indeed very low, only a mere sixth level. It is not in Cao Kaiwen's eyes at all. If Xia Xingxiao was an eleventh or twelfth level master, I believe Cao Kaiwen would not be so calm. What can a level 6 helper do?
Explore the ancient tombs, and by the end, there is sure to be a battle between the dragons and the tigers. Whoever has the strongest strength can get the most treasures. Therefore, whether it is the Su family or the Cao family, they are secretly asking for help behind their backs. At the same time, we also pay great attention to the helpers invited by the other party to avoid uncontrollable accidents. Cao Kaiwen's vigilance against Xia Xingxiao is out of this mentality. Now, this vigilance has been lifted.
Su Yunqing took Xia Xingxiao and continued to walk into the tomb. Along the way, there were disciples of the Su family or the Cao family on duty, so as not to let the people behind them go the wrong way. This ancient tomb is like a huge labyrinth, and explorers will go the wrong way if they are not careful. Even Su Yunqing is no exception. And the consequences of going the wrong way, even a fool knows. To be able to pick up the remains of a half-star-and-a-half corpse is God's favor.
According to the report of the disciples of the Su family, the periphery of the tomb has been opened by the people of the Su family and the Cao family. Now, Su Qiujin and Cao Huifeng are both taking their respective elites, trying to cross the last protection of the ancient tomb and enter the core area of the ancient tomb. But they seem to be having a bit of a hard time.
At the moment, to be precise, the explorers. They were all blocked outside a large pond in front of them, and there was no way to continue for the time being.
The water inside the pond is poisonous.
The fog around the pond is equally poisonous.
This poison is not an ordinary poison, it is a very special poison.
Not only can it infringe on a cultivator's body, but it can also eat away at a cultivator's true qi.
No matter how clever a cultivator is, once he enters the range of the poisonous mist. will be consumed a lot of true qi.
A cultivator's method of dealing with the poisonous mist is generally to use his own true qi to form a powerful protective shield. Keep the poisonous mist from getting close to your body. However, if the True Qi is consumed, it will naturally not be able to maintain the operation of the protective cover. When the time comes. If the poisonous mist strikes, the cultivator will die a very ugly death.
However, this is not the worst of all. The worst thing is that if a cultivator's true qi is invaded by poison, it will turn into poisonous true qi, which will infect the cultivator's whole body. These poisonous true qi are very difficult to remove. Therefore, even if a cultivator was lucky enough to be able to get out of the poisonous mist, it didn't mean that he would be fine. In the following days, the cultivators were detoxified. I don't know how much it will cost.
Therefore, in the Starry Sky World, cultivators generally don't want to mess with these poisonous true qi. Unless it is a last resort, or it has enough antidote pills. Otherwise. More than nine out of nine are the result of more than worth the loss. But in the ancient tombs, there are many such poisonous fogs. No matter which direction you go from, it is impossible to completely bypass these poisonous fogs.
When Xia Xingxiao and the others came to the pond in front, they found that they were next to the pond. A lot of people have gathered. This so-called pond is actually so large that you can't see the edge at all. All Xia Xingxiao could see was a thick white mist. For ordinary people, this is definitely an existence bigger than Dongting Lake. However, cultivators have a high vision and know how to fly, and it is not very outrageous to call Dongting Lake a pond.
Through the thick white fog, Xia Xingxiao could vaguely see that something was swimming on the churning water from time to time. Obviously, inside the pond, there are poisonous snakes and the like. Moreover, the number of poisonous snakes should be very large. If you are bitten by them, the end can be tragic. ...,
The cultivators who can come here are all good at flying, and no one needs to wade through the water. These poisonous snakes will not have a direct battle with cultivators for the time being. However, once a cultivator's true qi is exhausted and he is unable to maintain an extraordinary state, or if there is an accident and he falls into the water, then there will be a good show.
There are so many poisonous snakes, lurking in the water, spit out clumps of poisonous mist from time to time, which is an important reason why the poisonous fog is permeated around the pond. If you want to clear the poisonous mist, you must first clean up all the poisonous snakes in the water. Obviously, this is an almost impossible task. Who knows how many poisonous snakes are hidden in the pond? Besides, are there any other poisonous insects besides poisonous snakes?
From the analysis of the current situation, the toxins contained in the poisonous fog are not only poisonous snakes. Therefore, it is certain that there must be other poisonous insects hidden in the pond. It's a pity that until now, explorers have not found any poisonous insects other than poisonous snakes. You can't even find it, let alone destroy it.
In fact, even if a thirteenth-level big man makes a move, he may not be able to remove so many poisonous insects in the pond at once. After all, even if he is a thirteenth-level big man, his true qi is limited, and it is impossible to squander it indefinitely. And the sources of these poisonous fogs are endless. In the end, most of the results were for thirteenth-level cultivators to return in vain.
"Cao Huifeng, your Cao family is just Er'er!"
Suddenly, a high-pitched female voice came, her tone full of contempt.
Xia Xingxiao followed the voice and looked over, and saw a sword-wielding girl in red clothes, standing out from the crowd.
Her body is quite slender, estimated to be about 1.8 meters. Her body is still a little plump, and her skeleton is very large, giving people a very tall and strong feeling, like a girl playing volleyball. There are obvious differences from ordinary gentle and slender girls. This kind of woman, Xia Xingxiao generally calls her a big Yanma. It's a pity that Su Qiujin's elegant name is actually matched with a Yanma.
In Su Qiujin's hand, he held a slender light-containing sword, which was one of the five three-diamond black enchanted weapons that Xia Xingxiao took the lead in forging. After these enchanted weapons were sent to the front line, Su Qiujin, as the leader of the expedition, naturally chose the most handy one unceremoniously.
Due to the inlaid agate with fire attribute damage, the surface of this lightsaber is obviously glowing with a layer of fiery red light, like a layer of constantly beating flames. This layer of fiery red light was just right against Su Qiujin's red suit, revealing a strong and explosive taste.
That's what makes enchanted weapons special. Regardless of how it actually works, the look is absolutely gorgeous. Many cultivators get one or two one-star enchanted gems purely for the sake of looking good. Fire damage is fiery red, freezing damage is azure, lightning damage is purple-gray, and toxin damage is turquoise. Outsiders can judge the attached attribute damage of a weapon based on its color.
Xia Xingxiao looked around again, and sure enough, he saw four other fire attribute damage weapons. They should all be in the hands of the elite disciples of the Su family. Except for these five enchanted weapons, Xia Xingxiao never saw any other enchanted weapons. It seems that the Su family was indeed a little weak before, and they didn't even have an enchanted weapon, so they dared to break into this ancient tomb, which was really fatal.
On the opposite side of the Su family's expedition was the Cao family's expedition team. At the front of the Cao family's team, there was a young man in a blue shirt, with a slender figure, a handsome face, and deep eyes, which was very eye-catching. He is Cao Huifeng, a genius boy of the Cao family. He was the one who was sarcastically ridiculed by Su Qiujin. Compared with Su Qiujin's tough appearance, this Cao Huifeng looks a little delicate, as if she is Jia Baoyu dressed as a man. ...,
Xia Xingxiao tilted her head to look at Cao Huifeng, and then at Su Qiujin, feeling that the two of them were really a bit husband and wife. Su Qiujin is strong, Cao Huifeng is weak, so if you match it like this, there will be no too strong fight. The outside world is rumoring that they are married, and it seems that there is still some truth.
Cao Huifeng said slowly: "Yes, our Cao family has failed, you guys can go!"
The tone of his speech is very feminine, giving people a feeling of a cold day, as if he is frozen to the bone marrow. Compared with Su Qiujin's domineering tone, he is more like a little lady who has been bullied. However, Xia Xingxiao did not doubt his strength at all. He was very sure that Cao Huifeng's strength was stronger than Su Qiujin.
This can be seen from the number of enchanted weapons of the Cao family. In the hands of the Cao family, there are at least eight enchanted weapons. In Cao Huifeng's hand, there was a fiery red Yanling knife. The other enchanted weapons are also scimitars. Although three of them are relatively low-level weapons of the two-diamond powder. However, if it is used against the Shade, as long as it is an enchanted weapon, the effect will be better than that of an unenchanted weapon.
It can be seen that on the issue of exploring the ancient tombs, the Cao family should have completely taken the initiative. If the Su family hadn't met the "Mei Gongzi" and his party, they were afraid that they would have become a subsidiary of the Cao family in the entire process of exploration. It's no wonder that the people of the Cao family are so arrogant. They do have arrogant strength!
Cao Huifeng admitted the failure of the Cao family so bluntly, and Su Qiujin was a little uncomfortable. According to the rules, if the Cao family's team fails, it is the turn of the Su family to organize the team. However, Su Qiujin obviously hesitated. Just now, the Cao family's team failed to attack, and all the elite disciples who went up fell into the pond with no bones left and disappeared without a trace, leaving a deep impression on her.
Although he despised Cao Huifeng and felt like he was earning a breath for the Su family, in fact, Su Qiujin had no confidence. She knew very well that the strength of the Su family's team was inferior to that of the Cao family. With the strength of the Cao family's team, they can't rush over, and even if the Su family's team goes up, it will be sent to death. rq
