Killing God

Chapter 220 The Second Line

Heiya Ridge has a radius of thousands of miles and occupies a vast area. Most of the places are high mountains, and there are occasional deep lakes and big streams. In addition, there are endless monsters and beasts. It is not easy to walk here. ⊙Acme novels, and most of the disciples who entered the mountain for the trial this time, the vast majority of them are unlikely to have the extremely precious flying magic weapon that monks in the condensing realm can use, so most of the Lingxiaozong who participated in the trial of the Baishan Realm The disciples are all walking and searching among the mountains, under the double temptation and risk of spiritual grass and monsters, they are working hard for that dream in the future.

The same is true for Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu. Their fortunes seem to be pretty good, but they also don't have the kind of treasure that can fly in the air, so in the next few days, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu have always been Trek in the Black Crow Ridge Mountains.

However, perhaps it was because the two of them had reached an agreement and had a common goal, so their walking speed was not slow. The reason was that the two of them almost ignored the possible gains along the way, and did not deliberately search for the soul. Grass, when encountering monsters, they mostly avoid and bypass them, and they are only on their way.

In the final analysis, compared to Tianyun Vermilion Fruit and Iron Wing Black Scorpion, the value of most of the spirit grass monsters in Heiya Ridge is completely incomparable.Don't say that you have both, as long as you get one of them casually, then the harvest in this Hundred Mountains Trial, not to say that it will be the best in the world, but it will be among the most important top five or even the top three. There should be no problem.

The key point is that Tianyun Vermilion Fruit and Iron Wing Black Scorpion are naturally excellent, but an extremely powerful fifth-order monster, with just these two of them, and at most one Xiao Hei, can really defeat the enemy. ever?

It sounds like the gap in strength is so big that it cannot be made up entirely by courage.

So when walking on the road, Shen Shi asked Zhong Qingzhu this question directly. What made Zhong Qingzhu have the confidence to covet a fifth-order monster?

"Under normal circumstances, if I encountered such a powerful fifth-order monster, of course I would have to back away, maybe I wouldn't even be able to escape." Zhong Qingzhu was also very calm, and did not deny that he and that monster The iron-winged black scorpion has a huge gap in strength, but then she continued, "But when I saw that iron-winged black scorpion that day, it seemed that something was wrong with it."

According to Zhong Qingzhu, she came to Baishanjie to explore that day, went deep into the depths of the untouched wild mountains in Heiyaling, encountered many powerful monsters, and accidentally discovered that very hidden cave after a battle , and after careful investigation, found that the situation in this cave was very unusual.

First of all, there are no monsters in this not-so-small and rather deep cave. It seems that all the monsters in the vicinity have subconsciously avoided this cave; There wasn't any spirit grass, not even the lowest and most common first-grade spirit grass. It seemed that all the spirit energy that could grow spirit grass had disappeared around this cave.

With this bit of surprise and curiosity, Zhong Qingzhu sneaked into the cave. After taking several detours and going the wrong way, she finally found a huge underground cave in the depths of the cave. An incomparably precious Tianyun Zhuguo, which is said to have miraculous effects on the cultivation of human monks, grows on the ground there.At the same time, another monster beast of the fifth rank, the iron-winged black scorpion, which was huge and ferocious, stood guard beside this spiritual grass.

"That iron-winged black scorpion doesn't seem to be in a very good condition." Zhong Qingzhu recalled the scene at that time, and said to Shen Shi, "If I remember correctly, at least one of the wings on the back of the iron-winged black scorpion was broken. The other one also had a lot of damage, and many parts of the scorpion armor on its body showed a dark brown color. It looked dirty, and it didn't look like it was contaminated by digging and walking in ordinary times. There are many carapace cracks and cracks around the stain, which looks more like blood stains."

"Are you injured?" Shen Shi frowned and said, but he immediately thought of the iron wolf king spider he saw in the mysterious valley after he found Xiao Hei in the Gaoling Mountains.The Iron Wolf King Spider that condensed the demon core that time was also a very powerful fourth-order monster, but because of Hou Sheng's weird reason, it suffered serious injuries from the beginning, so in the end, Shen Shi can be said to be weak. Sheng Qiang, after cutting off those little spiders, he took Xiao Hei to kill the Iron Wolf King Spider.

If that's the case, dealing with a seriously injured Iron Winged Black Scorpion doesn't seem to be completely hopeless.

Zhong Qingzhu nodded, and said: "I think so too, but I was unprepared that day. With my current strength alone, even if the iron-winged black scorpion is seriously injured, I am invincible. Tianyun vermilion fruit seems to be very important, and I don't want to stay away for half a step, so I escaped with my life by chance."

Shen Shi glanced at her with some concern, then pondered for a moment, and said: "It's strange, why does that iron-winged black scorpion value so much the vermillion fruit of the sky?" After a pause, he said again "I have read in some ancient books before that some high-level monsters have extraordinary intelligence, and they often find and devour some rare high-grade spiritual grasses, absorbing the essence and increasing their power. The mutated monster body has mysterious evolution, and it is said that the most powerful result may even have a slight possibility of directly improving the rank."

"Does the fifth-rank monster advance to the sixth rank..." Zhong Qingzhu was always calm, and she gasped when she heard the words, but then she frowned again, and said to Shen Shi: "In that case, why Didn't the iron-winged black scorpion immediately devour the Vermilion Fruit that day, instead guarding it tightly?"

Shen Shi smiled wryly, spread his hands and said: "I don't know about this, what I said just now is my own guess, whether it is true or not, I have to go over and have a look again." After speaking, his thoughts suddenly moved, and said "However, it may be that the vermilion fruit was not fully ripe that day, and the medicinal properties were not at its peak, so that Iron Winged Black Scorpion could not hold on?"

Zhong Qingzhu was silent for a moment, nodded slowly, and said, "It's quite possible."

Shen Shi moved his body, smiled and said: "Forget it, don't think too much, anyway, go and have a look and you will know. It would be best if it can be done. Our trial and examination school this time is considered to be completed ahead of schedule; even if it is not successful , the monster is sure that Zhu Guo will not pursue, and our danger must not be too great."

Zhong Qingzhu gave a "hmm", nodded and continued walking forward with Shen Shi, but after walking a few steps, Shen Shi suddenly said: "Qingzhu, there is something I want to ask you."

Zhong Qingzhu's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "What?"

Shen Shi said: "You met the Iron Winged Black Scorpion once that day, and you retreated in defeat. You also said that your strength is very different. But why I think you have to pass again this time, could it be..." He turned his head, the gaze in his eyes Bright and bright, he said: "Could it be that you have already thought of some way to deal with that iron-winged black scorpion?"

※※※

Zhong Qingzhu hesitated for a moment, then took a breath, nodded, and said, "It's okay. After I went back that day, I thought about it repeatedly. After thinking about it a few times, I did think of a way."

Shen Shi was refreshed, and hurriedly asked: "What method?"

Zhong Qingzhu said: "Formation."

"Formation?"

Zhong Qingzhu nodded and said: "Yes, that iron-winged black scorpion is not willing to leave the vermilion fruit of the sky easily, so as long as I keep a sufficient distance, I can set up several formations in that cave. But with my way of practice , I haven’t been able to set up a powerful killing formation that can kill a fifth-order monster in one fell swoop, so I thought about using several formations to wear down the monster’s combat power, and try to see if I can grind it to death in the end.”

Having said that, Zhong Qingzhu turned his eyes around, looked at Shen Shi, and said: "Just to be honest, this method is not very sure, whether the power of the formation can exhaust the demonic power of the Iron Winged Black Scorpion, I'm not sure if I can even trap it. The most troublesome thing is that I don't have the ability to attack from a distance, but I can hold a spirit sword in close combat. ...until I saw the five-element technique you used in the fight..."

Shen Shi suddenly realized, and understood Zhong Qingzhu's meaning almost in the blink of an eye, using the power of the formation to trap and trap the Iron Winged Black Scorpion, and then the two of them attacked and consumed from the side together, especially Shen Shi's own Five Elements Technique He can stand in a safe enough place and attack from a distance. Not to mention that his power is not low. He also has several weird witchcraft spells. If you use them together, even if it is a fifth-level monster, as long as it is seriously injured In a bad situation, it is really not impossible to die.

Thinking of this, Shen Shi nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad, I really feel hopeful after you say that."

Zhong Qingzhu smiled slightly, and said softly: "Yeah, I also think it's really good for the two of us to cooperate like this."

Shen Shi raised his eyes and looked forward, and saw that the two of them had come to a high place on a cliff at the moment, and there were still rolling mountains in front of them, and the farthest place where the dark clouds were heavy might be the most dangerous and attractive place.He laughed, kicked casually, and kicked a piece of gravel flying off the cliff and fell to the towering mountain peak. He smiled and said to Zhong Qingzhu: "Hurry up, let's try to get there as soon as possible, otherwise if we are caught by the iron wing If the black scorpion ate the vermilion fruit, it would be too late to regret it."

Zhong Qingzhu smiled sweetly, and walked behind the excited Shen Shi. Xiao Hei ran over and took a look on the edge of the cliff, only to see that there seemed to be a big stream flowing down the valley below, and there was nothing worth noting. After humming twice, he quickly followed after him.

※※※

The stone fell from a high altitude, fell into the stream with a "plop", and splashed Lao Gao with a bang, but it was sprinkled on a woman on the bank who was washing her hands and tidying up her face.

That woman was He Xiaomei, and seeing this sudden appearance, He Xiaomei was caught off guard and backed away with a scream, but her clothes were still splashed a little.She looked a little annoyed, she raised her head and looked at the high cliff, but she saw no one was there, she couldn't help cursing angrily, and said, "Who is so wicked to throw stones so casually?"

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly heard a movement behind her, as if she had been alarmed by something just now, a sound of footsteps came.

He Xiaomei frowned, looking helpless, turned around and looked back, and said at the same time:

"What are you doing? Why have you been following me these days?"
