564 Repair the stone tower to prepare for the beast tide, and dive underground to find the secret palace
But he will never be the thief he used to be again. It's just a matter of thinking about it. What's more, these homeless people who poured into the city in order to avoid the tide of beasts may not have a lot of blood spirit stones on their bodies.
At this time, the population of Kapok City will explode. Because Kapok City is the only shelter for many nearby demons and humans in the midst of the beast tide. Kapok City did not prevent these races from entering the city. The popularity of the convergence is even more attractive to the beast tide, which will bring a higher production of blood spirit stones.
This time the beast tide seems to have come a little later. There is a lot of news that flocks of red-haired baboons have appeared on the Silver Dragon Mountains. But now, more than ten days have passed, and they have not yet gathered into a real swarm.
But that's not to say that this year's beast tide won't come. The time of the beast tide was originally quite uncertain, and the blood refining tribe all came early, so it was normal for them to wait for dozens of days or even a month.
The preparations for the Blood Refining Tribe are already in place. This side of the bamboo bridge is a huge open space with a radius of half a mile, which is the blood refining area of the Cangjiao tribe.
It's like a massive slaughterhouse, filled with hundreds of shiny boards. Each board is slightly sloping, and at the end is a dirty barrel with a strong smell of blood.
In the cluster of boards, there are three huge bronze tripods, each one of which is one zhang high. These three tripods were not transported whole, but could be disassembled into many pieces and placed in their baggage, and only assembled here.
Once the tide starts, dead red-haired baboons are constantly transported from this bamboo bridge. The blood refiner must race against time to peel the skin and remove the bones here, remove the internal organs, and only the blood and flesh are left, and put them in the bucket, and someone is responsible for putting the flesh and blood in the bucket into the bronze tripod.
Dingxia has prepared a large amount of firewood. Spare firewood piles up nearby. When the fire burns, they put some pure crystals into these boiled flesh and blood, and the flesh essence will continue to crystallize. The three big tripods took turns to work, and one pot after another of the blood spirit stones was boiled out in this way.
The Blood Spirit Stone is the foundation of the Demon Realm's blood cultivation cultivation. With the Blood Spirit Stone, they didn't need to devour the flesh and blood of other beasts like beasts in order to improve their realm. Moreover, the Blood Spirit Stone is a concentration of flesh and blood essence, which looks elegant and clean, will not bring in impurities or corruption, and can be stored for a long time.
This kind of beast tide occurs about once every three to five years. In Kapok City alone, the amount of blood spirit stones produced at one time is as high as tens of thousands of catties, which is equivalent to the income of the Jade Palace for ten years. Thinking of this, Gou Zhu's eyes were a little hot. With such a large amount of blood spirit stones concentrated here, I wonder if I can have a chance to make a big profit?
But with such an important amount of money, it is naturally impossible for Kinobe to let it go. Every time at this time, the Muye Department would send an elder to personally supervise here to prevent an accident with this great wealth, and this elder was called the Blood Refining Elder, with a golden pill cultivation. Now it must be in Kapok City.
At that time, this Jindan Elder will hold on here with many masters urging magic weapons, and I am afraid that anyone who fights the idea of these blood spirit stones will have to think about it.
Looking at the bamboo bridge, he could see a white tower as high as ivory, about ten zhang high, in the dense woods about a hundred paces away from the moat.
At the top of the tower was a terrifyingly shaped skull with a single horn, which pointed sharply into the sky like a black spear, invisibly affecting the power of heaven and earth.
The body of the tower is covered with dense and countless formations, as if outlining the world and depicting all things. Gou Zhu just glanced up from a distance, and he felt dizzy.
It's just that the stone tower looks very old, and the tower is covered with scars and mutilations that have accumulated for I don't know how many years, and in some places the stones are broken and the holes are exposed, and the formation pattern is also interrupted. Now there are scaffolds erected on all sides, and the tower is being repaired.
This tower is called the Thorn Sky Tower, and it is one of the pillar protection towers that make up the Kapok City Protective Array. Attracting and killing furious beasts in the midst of the beast tide also relies on this tower. It's just that the beast tide is approaching, and several protective towers around the city defense have been repaired, but this place has not been completely completed.
A notice in front of the bamboo bridge attracted Gou Xu's attention: "The City Lord's Mansion recruits a formation master who can repair the Piercing Sky Tower's formation, as long as he can sign the contract, he will immediately pay a reward of one thousand taels of blood spirit stones in advance, and there will be a heavy reward after the beast tide!"
......
In all the records of the human world and the demon world, no one can say what the end of the southern underworld is. This is not because the sea of fire in the south is really boundless, but because the further south it goes, the hotter it gets, and the higher the temperature of the sea of fire.
At first the sea of fire was red, but gradually it turned golden. If you continue south, it will turn a terrifying white. It is said that the powerful monks of ancient times went the farthest into the southern underworld, and saw the sea surface turn from white to blue, the temperature was extremely high, and everything disappeared in an instant.
The place where Lian Ling's Lingfan Wind Boat went was actually not going deep into the Southern Hell, but it was just a dragonfly within thousands of miles from the edge.
Relying on the icy aura that erupted from the three hundred Xuanyin Pills, the blue shield around the wind boat condensed a lot again, shining like a blue crystal in the flames. The sea of fire in their eyes was dyed with a faint layer of blue.
Huang Lu reversed the two eye eyes and forcibly pressed the bow down. The Xuanyin Protective Barrier touched the hot golden lava, like a black dark mark suddenly appeared in the bright golden water, and the lava quickly condensed into black stones. But these huge stones that had just solidified then collided with the Pure Yang Enchantment.
The Xuanyin Barrier cools lava, but it doesn't have the power to block foreign objects. Therefore, there is a second layer in the protective formation of the wind boat, which is the Pure Yang Enchantment.
Although the array wall formed by the Pure Yang Enchantment is strong, it will soften and lose under high temperatures. Fortunately, the high temperature of the outside world has been cooled by the Xuanyin Enchantment.
After the pure yang qi hit the solidified stone, it made a loud rumbling sound, and the newly solidified rock directly cracked, and the bright lava poured out of the crack in the rock again, but immediately solidified again.
In this cycle, the wind boat continues to sink like an ice-breaking ship, and the solidified rock continues to sink downward, forming a hemisphere with a diameter twice as long as the length of the ship.
The boat continued to dive, and at last they were surrounded by rocks, and the golden light was obscured by the solidified rocks, and the surroundings became dark.
Although Huang Lu was personally controlling the ship, she was also shocked by the never-before-seen scene. Heaven and earth seemed to condense into a large black ball of rock, and they were suspended in the center of this large ball. But the black ball is not all black.
The ship seemed to be moving in a strange cavern underground. The Pure Yang Barrier around the hull of the ship constantly squeezed the hard rock apart and shattered, and the cracks emitted a bright golden glow of lava, illuminating the inner walls of the rock, which were as fragile as eggshells and concave and convex as meteorites
As the ship descended, the stone walls above it melted like wax, engulfing it in bright lava and then freezing again. The rocks and lava above them followed them like worms, to the bottomless abyss of the Southern Underworld.
In this stagnant lava, the ship travels extremely slowly. It took them an hour to sink to a thousand feet deep.
"Could it be that Tree Clan Elder can live in this lava for more than a year?" asked Huang Lu dumbfoundedly. She knew that the blood-seeking disc in Lian Ling's hand was used to find the Tree Clan elder who had originally been in contact.
She was sure that the three hundred Xuanyin Pills that were put in by the Nineteenth would last for about two hours at most in this sea of fire.
Lian Ling must have brought enough pills, but the entire income of the Jade Palace in a year was only more than 100,000 pieces when converted into Xuanyin Pills. If you add the consumption of Pure Yang Pill, even if you bring it all, you won't be able to last here for a month!
If the elixir was exhausted, it would be absolutely impossible for them to get out of here alive. Even Lian Ling is not possible.
"A year? joke, that's impossible. Even if it is the real body of the old man, I can't stay in this place for a year. The only thing that can stay here is the strange creatures of the Southern Underworld. But most of those creatures can't leave the South Underworld. Oh, except for that guy. ”
At this time, Kill was no longer lying lazily, standing in the bow of the boat, the white hair was draped on his forehead, and he suddenly thought of something.
"Could it be that you are so lucky that you can actually find the Vermilion Bird Palace? Needless to say, it must be Qin Zunyang! Only he has this kind of chicken thief ability, and he can calculate the location of the Vermilion Bird Palace. The thaumaturgy of 'stealing the sky and counting the day' not only does not consume one's own longevity, but also counts others to death!"
Lian Ling originally looked at the compass in his hand carefully. When she said that she was killed, she remembered the legend of Qin Zunyang, and couldn't help laughing, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and a beautiful smile appeared on her face.
