Chapter 258: Sudden Danger
Although I had a general understanding of the situation of the Lost Fire Cave from Zheng Boxi, after all, the time was long and the location was different, so it was still equivalent to a black eye.
However, although this canyon is deep and twisty, there are no forks in the road, and it is always a good idea to follow it all the way.
At this time, a group of Nine Rank cultivators of the Ling Tian Sword Sect had already gathered together, looking at the brown mountain range in front of them, and with a wave of their hands, they rushed in.
This place is not far from where their sect is located in the first place, if there is any sect in this Northern Divine Prefecture that is most familiar with the Lost Fire Cave, Ling Tian Sword Sect said that no one dares to call it the first.
For so many years, the situation of the first three layers Ling Tian Sword Sect had already figured out, although there were also dangers, but for the Nine Turns Cultivator, it was not a big threat, but for those who were not familiar with it, it was a crisis step by step, according to Wuye's estimate, under the advantages of one or the other, at most the second layer could catch up.
Xiang Yang rode the ripples all the way, the red mist became thicker and thicker, and suddenly, there was a 'buzzing' sound in his ears, and when he looked into it, he found that there were living creatures in the red mist hundreds of zhang ahead.
It was a group of fingertip-sized insects, with pointed heads and fat bellies, and two pairs of short fiery red compound wings, which came together, tumbling up and down, bringing up the red mist, stirring up thick tornadoes, covering the entire canyon tightly, and buzzing in their own direction.
His eyes narrowed, this place is called a desperate and dangerous place, but he has not encountered a trace of danger after going deep for dozens of miles, it will not be so unworthy of the name, is there something wrong with these little insects?
He was a little unsure, those little insects did have a trace of vitality fluctuations on their bodies, but they were already faint to the point of nothingness, thousands of them gathered together, and the vitality fluctuations emitted were not as good as a low-level spell.
The speed of those tornadoes was not fast, but the ripples were opposite to it, and they still quickly came into contact with each other, and at the bow of the boat, a light curtain flashed, and the ripples pierced directly.
The buzzing sound was overwhelming, and the dense red worms were directly squeezed by the shield and air, making a crackling sound.
It can be seen with the naked eye, the small insects are very fragile, and they have been directly squeezed to death in an instant, and then they are blown away by the strong wind carried by the boat, and there is not one in ten that can get close to the shield.
But soon, he sensed that something was wrong, a array disk at the bow of the boat was shining, and the top-grade vitality stones on it were rapidly consuming.
Xiang Yang's complexion changed slightly, this is a purely defensive array, even in the face of the attack of the Nine Rotation Stage Cultivators, the consumption should not be so fast, could it be that these little insects are more powerful than the Nine Rotation Monks?
The spiritual sense swept over, he frowned, and approached the small insects in the shield, and the vitality fluctuations on each body were dozens or even hundreds of times stronger than before, but the size did not increase, but the round belly was glowing.
These insects can absorb vitality for their own use?
He squinted his eyes and quickly flipped through his memory, and finally found that there was no record of this insect even in the records of the strange things of the mountains and seas that Green Sprout gave him.
This is just the first layer of the Lost Fire Cave, although this insect is weird, but it is not terrifying, why hasn't it been spread? Or is this something unique to Northern Shenzhou, and the sect of Green Sprouts is too far away, so there is no record?
Xiang Yang was very curious, and with a little finger, the shield on the bow of the boat flashed, and in an instant, hundreds of small insects were swept in.
With a wave of his sleeves, he gathered them together and put them into the Qiankun Ding clone, and then added a few top-grade vitality stones to the array plate, and he took out one, spread it in the palm of his hand, and looked at it carefully.
The insect tried hard to flap its short wings, but where could it fly, it felt that it couldn't run away, its pointed head arched down, and a short spike stretched out from the cavity in front of it, as if it wanted to dig a hole in Xiang Yang's palm...
A moment later, a small flame appeared in Xiang Yang's palm, and the insect chirped a few times, first the two pairs of wings ignited, and then the entire body slowly turned into ashes.
The surprise in his eyes was even stronger, this is the true fire of samadhi, even if it is a stone, turning into rock water is an instant, this little insect even resisted for a moment...
He looked behind him, there was a red mist everywhere, and he didn't know where those Ling Tian Sword Sect monks had chased, for the time being, he couldn't figure out the strangeness of this insect, so he simply put the light mask back and forth a few times, at least ten thousand small insects were involved, and then he continued to move forward with satisfaction.
It wasn't long before he discovered something else odd.
According to the speed of ripples, these times, in fact, should have rushed through this swarm of insects, but why is it that so far, there are still dense insect shadows outside the shield, and the crackling and squeezing sound is much less?
He hurriedly probed his spiritual sense outward, this canyon was a little long, but it was only a few hundred zhang wide, and it was easy to come to an end, and then he was stunned.
As soon as there was a comparison of the gorge wall, I found that the speed of the ripples had slowed down a lot at some point, and if compared with Fang Cai, it was like a turtle crawling.
What's going on??
Xiang Yang looked at the insects around him, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly realized.
No matter what Yunzhou is, it relies on the Yuan Qi Stone to activate the formation, and then uses the formation to attract the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth, and then uses the mutual growth and restraint in the five elements to generate energy to move forward.
For example, when the fire energy meets the water energy and repels each other, the two energy will also consume each other and release energy.
And Yunzhou relies on this energy to act.
Now, this insect has absorbed all the vitality it has induced, and Yunzhou naturally has no motivation to continue to move forward...
Yunzhou can't do it, then other flying magic weapons naturally can't either, the most important thing is that this insect seems to be able to absorb even the vitality in the monk's body, which is a bit terrifying.
If it were another monk, it is estimated that he would be blind when he encountered this situation, and without vitality, the monk would be a toothless tiger, and he could bite to death if he rushed a few vicious dogs casually.
But Xiang Yang is different, he is not a pure immortal cultivator in the first place, if you really want to compare, his current situation is a bit like the kind of barbarian described by Chu Xuan, and his physical combat power and power far exceed the realm of immortal cultivation.
Directly put away the cloud boat, his whole body fell straight down like a weighing stone, without the barrier of the shield, those insects were immediately attracted by the vitality fluctuations emitted by his body, and flew towards his body.
