Hunyuan Immortal Sect

Chapter 167 Second Level Spirit Pond
As the demon snake turned and fled, a row of black vines with thorns emerged from the ground. The black vines wrapped around the demon snake's body in circles, and the spikes on them slowly pierced into the demon snake's body.

This is exactly the high-level wood-based magic, Thorn Barb, performed by Zhong Wenyuan.

The demon snake was tied up tightly, and the black vines became tighter and tighter, wrapping its body into a ball.

The demon snake hissed and screamed in pain, and blood continued to flow out of its body.

The magic that Song Xian and Shao Jian had just used had pierced the skin on an area of ​​the demon snake's back, so the barbs on the vine could penetrate into its body.

The barbs on the vine were unable to penetrate the part where the skin was intact.

The snake kept twisting its body, trying to break free from the vines, but the vines became tighter and tighter.

The demon snake raised its head, opened its bloody mouth, and spurted out another stream of black venom from its abdominal cavity, but this time it did not attack Zhong Wenyuan, but shot towards the wooden thorns wrapped around its body.

The black vines were corroding and melting rapidly, visibly to the naked eye. Just as the demon snake was about to break free, Song Xian's fireball had condensed again and shot towards it.

Shao Jian put his hands together, and a crescent-shaped golden scimitar formed in his palms.

The fireball and the golden scimitar hit the injured parts of the demon snake one after another.

The fireball hit the snake, and its body was covered in blood.

When the golden scimitar chopped down, it almost cut its body in two.

The demon snake no longer struggled, but only twisted slightly, and its vitality quickly disappeared.

Song Xian quickly took out the black banner, and a bloody human figure shot out from it and directly drilled into the body of the dying demon snake.

When Zhong Wenyuan saw this scene, his eyes froze and he couldn't help but look back at Song Xian in surprise.

He had seen this scene before. When helping Apples to obtain the treasure, Song Xian used the black banner to suck the flesh and blood of the silver-armored ants guarding the place, but at that time, only a faint blood light shot out from inside, but now it was indeed the outline of a bloody human figure.

Using a magic weapon to absorb the target's flesh and blood is already strange enough. Combining the two situations, the restrictive effect of the magic weapon seems to have changed, which makes him even more surprised.

"Go and help Senior Brother Zixiang and Lu Yuan." Song Xian did not explain. Now was not the time to explain.

At this moment, the entire team was fighting fiercely with the three demon snakes.

While Zhong Wenyuan, Song Xian and Shao Jian were dealing with the demon snake on the left, the others were not idle either.

Wang Huanzheng was helping Lin Zixiang deal with the giant snake in the middle whose spiritual energy was equivalent to that of the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Lu Yuan and Xu Zhen dealt with the giant snake on the left, whose spiritual energy was equivalent to that of the fourth level of Qi Refining.

The big snake in the middle has been trapped by Alan Tam's magic. Golden rings tightly locked the snake's body. This is the high-level magic of the gold system, the Golden Hoop Technique.

The big snake kept struggling and twisting its body. When it found that it could not break free, it also sprayed black venom from its mouth. This seemed to be its only means of long-range attack.

The venom touched the golden hoop and quickly dissolved it.

At this time, Song Xian and Shao Jian had freed their hands and used magic to attack the big snake.

Zhong Wenyuan once again used the thorn barbs to trap the fourth-level Qi Refining snake on the right that was trying to escape.

Several people used their magic to attack. The big snake in the middle was already injured, and it had to withstand this wave of attacks. It could no longer hold on, and fell to the side with its body covered in blood.

At this time, the silhouette inside the black banner had sucked the blood and flesh of the big snake on the left and returned to the banner.

Song Xian summoned it again and pounced on the big snake.

The two of them joined forces with George Lam to kill the evil snake.

On the right, Zhong Wenyuan and others had also finished the battle, and the big snake with the fourth level of spiritual energy training was dying.

"Brother Wenyuan, don't be in a hurry to act. Wait for my magic weapon to suck its flesh and blood dry." Seeing that Zhong Wenyuan's magic was condensed and he was about to launch a final attack on the big snake to take its life, Song Xian hurriedly spoke out to stop him.

The flesh and blood of monsters is a great tonic for Black Banner. Last time, after absorbing several silver-armored ants, the Black Banner's restriction was upgraded to a higher level, becoming a two-layer restriction magic weapon.

This evil snake has become like fish meat stuck on a board. It would be a waste of resources if it were wasted.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Wenyuan stopped the magical attack.

Everyone watched as the black blood shadow of the banner penetrated into the injured part of the snake's body. After a while, the snake's plump body shrank visibly, and gradually only a piece of skin remained.

When several people saw this scene, they were all shocked.

Lin Zixiang also frowned. Like Zhong Wenyuan, he had seen Song Xian use the black flag to suck the blood and flesh of the silver-armored ants when he was helping Apples to obtain the treasure.

Speaking of which, he was the first one to see this black banner. It was when Song Xian and he bought the Foundation Establishment Pill for Zhang Shilin, the elder and leader of Qingyuan Sect, at a stall in the market.

"Master, how come this magical weapon seems much more powerful than last time? I remember it was a streak of blood last time, but this time it's a human figure."

George Lam was not a scheming person. In shock, he just said whatever came to his mind without considering whether it was appropriate to say it in front of so many people.

In his opinion, everyone here was a disciple of the sect, so there was nothing to worry about. As for Shao Jian, he selectively forgot about him.

"Didn't I say it? This magic weapon is a bit weird. It can absorb the target's flesh and blood to strengthen the power of forbidden attacks. Last time I absorbed the flesh and blood of the silver-armored ants, I haven't used this magic weapon since then, so I have stored enough power and turned into a human figure." Song Xian replied generously.

Everyone has witnessed it with their own eyes. If they continue to hide it at this time, it will appear that they are trying to hide something. There are already many kinds of rare treasures in the world of cultivation. Magical weapons can absorb the target's flesh and blood to enhance their own power. Although it is strange and weird, it is not beyond cognition.

However, the fact that magical instruments can be upgraded and the levels of restrictions increased is completely beyond the comprehension of ordinary people in the cultivation world. If this matter were to be made public, it would be shocking.

"So, if it absorbs enough flesh and blood, it can unleash the power of a top-grade magic weapon?" Lin Zixiang still asked curiously.

"That shouldn't be possible, I don't know either, but I think there must be a certain limit. I have verified that although this thing can enhance the power of forbidden attacks by absorbing the blood and flesh of monsters, it needs to be accumulated again after it is used up." Song Xian responded ambiguously.

"The flesh and blood of this monster is worth a lot of spirit stones. It's a pity to feed it to this magic weapon." Lin Zixiang sighed.

He said it unintentionally, but the listener took it seriously. Song Xian couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed after hearing this. Originally, this demon snake might be worth hundreds of spirit stones if it was sold, and everyone could get some. But now his magic weapon had sucked away all its flesh and blood, leaving only a skin and skeleton. Naturally, it was not worth much money.

Since someone brought up the matter, he couldn't remain silent, otherwise it would damage his prestige.

"How about this! We'll discuss the price of this demon snake later, and I'll compensate everyone."

Only then did Lin Zixiang realize that he had said the wrong thing, and his face turned red: "That's not what I meant."

"I was not thoughtful enough in this matter, and that's what I should do. Let's not talk about it anymore. The important thing now is that everyone must hurry up and use the Qi-recovering Pill to restore their spiritual power. There may be demonic snakes in the depths of the cave that have not yet appeared." Song Xian didn't want to dwell on this matter any more, and said seriously.

After hearing this, everyone sat down on the ground, took out the Qi-recovering pills distributed by the sect, and swallowed them.

George Lam also sat down awkwardly.

After draining the flesh and blood from the two snakes, Blood Shadow returned to Black Banner. Song Xian placed the skins and bones of the three snakes into his storage bag, then sat down cross-legged and swallowed a first-grade, mid-grade Qi-restoring Pill.

After a long time, everyone's consumed spiritual power was restored, and they walked towards the depths of the cave again.

As we go down, the road becomes wider and wider, and the spiritual energy becomes richer and richer.

After descending about a hundred feet, I saw a huge pond filled with mist. In the center of the pond swayed a beautiful dark blue lotus. On top of the lotus stood a crystal clear fruit in red, green and blue, like a jewel on a crown.

"The Spirit Pond is indeed a spiritual place." "That is the three-colored spiritual lotus fruit."

George Lam and Shao Jian spoke almost at the same time, their expressions full of surprise.

The so-called spiritual pool refers to a pool of water that possesses spiritual energy, just like spiritual veins and spiritual fields. The only difference is the amount of spiritual energy contained in it.

The spiritual field has spiritual energy in its soil, but the proportion is relatively low, so it can only be used to grow medicinal herbs and cannot be used for people to practice.

The spiritual vein is a flowing spiritual energy vein at the bottom of the mountain, just like groundwater. The spiritual energy in this place is very high, which makes it unsuitable for growing medicinal herbs, but it can be used for people to practice.

As for the spirit pool, the proportion of spiritual energy is between the two, generally higher than the spirit field and lower than the spirit vein.

The area of ​​this spirit pond is about two acres. Judging from the richness of the surrounding spiritual energy, it should be a second-level low-grade spirit pond.

There is only one three-colored spiritual lotus swaying in the spiritual field. This plant is the main medicine for the foundation-building pill and can only be grown in a second-level spiritual pond. Therefore, this medicine is an aquatic plant and cannot be cultivated even in third-level or fourth-level spiritual fields.

Judging from the color, this fruit is close to maturity.

"No wonder the spiritual energy in this cave is much richer than outside. It turns out there is such a spiritual pool. Those three demon snakes should be guarding this three-colored spiritual lotus fruit!" Zhong Wenyuan, who has always been steady, also showed joy at this time.

Monsters are different from cultivators. They have strong bodies and abundant essence and blood, and they eat spiritual medicines and herbs raw.

Because monks are physically weak, they need to spend a lot of effort to harmonize the properties of spiritual medicines and herbs and refine them into pills with milder spiritual power.

Just as everyone was rejoicing, the spirit pond suddenly began to boil like boiling water.

The next moment, two giant green snakes jumped up from under the spirit pool and attacked everyone.

There are two big snakes, one male and one female. The male Biling snake has a noticeable bulge on its head, while the female does not, so the gender can be identified at a glance.

"Be careful."

"spread."

Song Xian and Zhong Wenyuan shouted at the same time. When everyone saw the two big snakes, their faces changed drastically and they all retreated.

This male green spirit snake is about ten feet long, and the spiritual energy around it is close to the great perfection of a cultivator's Qi training.

The spiritual power of the female green spirit snake is almost as high as that of a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Two huge snakes suddenly jumped out of the water and attacked everyone, giving people a very oppressive feeling.

As Lin Zixiang flew backward, the spiritual power in his body rushed into the magic weapon in his hand frantically. The Ruyi Spear shone brightly, and the golden light condensed into a ten-foot-long phantom, stabbing towards the male snake.

At the same time, everyone used magic weapons to attack the big snake.

As the few people scattered and retreated, Song Xian, Zhong Wenyuan, and Shao Jian, who were on the left, all retreated to the left rear.

George Lam, Lu Yuan, Xu Zhen, and Wang Huan retreated to the right rear.

The two giant snakes jumped out of the pond and attacked George Lam and Zhong Wenyuan because they were at the front.

Because the two people separated to the left and right, the two big snakes also chased towards their respective targets, and immediately separated everyone into two battle groups.

The female snake opened its bloody mouth and pounced on Zhong Wenyuan, facing the attacks of the three people's magic weapons, and continuously sprayed three long and thin streams of black venom from its abdominal cavity.

The venom touched the phantom condensed by the three people's magic weapons, immediately making the attacks of the three people's magic weapons stop.

After the big snake spit out venom, it leaned forward and attacked Zhong Wenyuan.

Zhong Wenyuan immediately activated the talisman in his hand, and the spiritual power in his body surged into it. In an instant, the talisman's light condensed into the outline of a golden bell, protecting him inside.

This is a first-grade, top-grade talisman, the Golden Bell Cover.

The big snake swung its tail and hit the outline of the golden bell. There was a sound like metal hitting each other, and the outline of the golden bell shook violently. The big snake took the opportunity to wrap around the golden bell and coiled its body around it.

At this time, the magic weapon attack that Shao Jian had just used had collapsed under the erosion of the venom. He was only using a medium-grade magic weapon with fourteen layers of restrictions, and he did not use much spiritual power, so he could not withstand the venom of the snake at all. It only lasted for less than a few breaths before it was melted, and the venom continued to shoot towards him.

Shao Jian retreated hurriedly, activating the talisman in his hand, and a water curtain outline enveloped him.

Before setting off, Song Xian distributed talismans to everyone, including Shao Jian, who also received two first-grade mid-grade talismans, one of which was a mid-grade water-type defense talisman, and the other was a mid-grade fire-type attack talisman.

Song Xian had just used the Xiaguang Sword to attack, mobilizing fourteen points of spiritual power to release half of the restrictive power of the magic weapon.

The phantom light condensed by the fourteen-level restricted Xiaguang Sword was about seven or eight feet long, and its attack power reached thirty-five points, which was even more powerful than the attack of Zhong Wenyuan's magic weapon. Therefore, it was not corroded by the venom of the giant snake. Instead, after a short stalemate, it directly dispersed the venom like a water column.

Seeing that Zhong Wenyuan was entangled by the big snake and was in danger, he immediately controlled the condensed sword light and slashed towards the big snake.

Although the first-grade, top-grade gold defensive talisman was very powerful, it could not hold out for long in front of the ninth-level Qi Refining Snake, which was known for its physical body. The snake, as if entangling its prey, shrank its body tighter and tighter, and the outline of the golden bell was visibly distorted, as if it would collapse in the next moment.

Once the defense collapsed, there was only one way out, and that was death, because the giant snake had surrounded him and there was no escape.

Zhong Wenyuan looked nervous as he took out a green talisman in his hand. This was a second-level low-grade storm talisman, and also the only second-level low-grade attack talisman in the sect.

.........

Song Xian controlled the Xiaguang Sword and slashed down. The big snake did not dodge or evade, and remained coiled on the outline of the golden bell without moving. Seeing the sword light stabbing down, it raised its head and spewed out another stream of venom.

The sword light had just been corroded by the poison, and its power had been greatly reduced. Now it was attacked by the poison again, and it immediately vibrated violently and was on the verge of collapsing.

At this moment, a shrill and terrifying scream suddenly resounded through the cave.

Song Xian tilted his head and saw that Wang Huan's body had been wrapped up by the male snake. The snake opened its bloody mouth, and four sharp and terrifying fangs had pierced into his neck. The snake's head turned, and Wang Huan's entire head was bitten off and swallowed whole.

Blood gushed out of his broken neck like a fountain, and his entangled fingers were still shaking, as if he was struggling.

The big snake's vertical dark green pupils still looked at the others indifferently.

Everyone was horrified by such a horrific and bloody scene.

"Brother Wang." Only Xu Zhen let out an angry roar.

Song Xian's pupils suddenly shrank, and he felt angry and frightened.

Perhaps it was Xu Zhen's roar that attracted the male snake, and its body released Wang Huan who was wrapped around it and flew towards him at a rapid speed.

Wang Huan's body fell straight down, and blood was all over the ground.

This was the first time that Song Xian witnessed the death of a sect disciple. Although he felt sad for Zhong Yang's death during the attack on Lingyun Mountain, he did not die in front of him after all.

At this moment, seeing the sect's disciples die tragically before his eyes, he was overwhelmed by the sorrow and anger of the same kind.

Song Xian gritted his teeth and immediately took out a first-grade, top-grade attack talisman in his hand. As the talisman glowed, it condensed into a huge fire phoenix and flew towards the big snake.

After the talisman was activated, he poured his spiritual power into the Xiaguang Sword, breaking through the remaining fourteen layers of restrictions, and once again condensed it into a sword phantom of seven or eight feet in size, following closely behind the many ice knives, and slashed towards the big snake.
