Two days later, deep in a dense forest filled with thick blood-colored fog, from the hollow of a tall and straight tree, a young monk with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, a decent face, but not handsome, suddenly walked out.
This person is Ning Tao, who has transformed all his true energy into liquid. At this time, Ning Tao feels that he can break through the hazy boundaries in his body at any time.
It's just that the outside world seems to have a hazy gauze covering itself, preventing it from breaking through.
Ning Tao knew that this was a rule restriction, so he didn't think much about it. He took out the jade map slip given to him by his master and the positioning disk issued by his master, and studied his location in detail.
The function of this positioning disk is similar to the combination of a compass and an armillary sphere. It can determine the approximate position of one's own position through the stars in the sky.
After knowing his position, Ning Tao launched his flying boat and flew towards the center, but the direction of flight was slightly off.
Most of the day passed quickly, and Ning Tao, who had flown hundreds of miles, came to a place with rolling hills covered with yellow sand.
The hills covered with yellow sand for miles around are like huge scars in the continuous mountain forest, making this place unique.
Originally, according to the speed of the airship, this distance would take at most one or two hours, but because some birds and monsters came to harass him from time to time, Ning Tao had to stop and deal with these monsters.
The flesh and blood demon souls of these monsters were fed to the Blood Soul Banner, and their bones, feathers and other items were also dismantled by Ning Tao, and sorted into several storage bags that were several tens of feet in size that had been prepared.
Even before he came in, Ning Tao knew that the task assigned by his master was difficult to complete, and according to what his master said, this task did not have to be completed, he just wanted to do his best.
The location instructed by Master is not far from the location of the Leading Stone Palace, so Ning Tao planned to arrange his own affairs first, get more spiritual materials and elixirs, and then stay for a few weeks to concentrate on completing the matters assigned by Master. .
When Ning Tao came here, he concealed the fluctuations of his true energy to the extreme, and climbed up to the top of a hill on the edge of the continuous yellow sand hills.
Then he took out the blood soul flag from the storage bag, inserted a pole flag around it, and then inserted the main flag in the center. He sat cross-legged and fired a series of spells in his hand, and saw a bunch of black clouds of blood coming from ten Three flags spurted out, and within a short time, the entire top of the hill was shrouded in blood-black clouds.
At this moment, a few huge khaki scorpions, the size of calves, noticed something strange, emerged from the yellow sand on the hill, held up their huge pincers, held up the stingers on their tails, and roared towards the mountain peak. Come.
Just as he entered the blood-red thick fog, he was torn into pieces by a group of ghosts. All his flesh and blood were gone, leaving only a broken body of earth-yellow bone armor, two pairs of huge pincers and a tail spine on his back lying quietly on the ground, telling the story of their past. Pass here.
Ning Tao held a few khaki-colored souls about the size of his thumb that were trapped in the blood mist in his hand. He thought to himself that the demon souls of ordinary monsters were indeed not as powerful as the souls of ordinary mortals.
No wonder so many evil cultivators always like to find mortals to refine magic weapons, which is easy and powerful. However, due to the secret realm, there are countless monsters in it. Besides, if you want to increase the power of the Blood Soul Banner, you need more than just mortal souls. Regarding the method of sacrificial refining, as a disciple of the sect, there is no need to draw attention to such trivial matters and get into trouble.
After thinking about it, Ning Tao casually threw the souls of these earth scorpions to one of the ghosts.
As for why Ning Tao made this arrangement, it was because according to the Blood Soul Banner Jade Slips, before a ghost reaches the Fierce Ghost Realm, depending on the soul it swallows, it will produce different magical powers and characteristics when it advances to the Fierce Ghost Realm.
So before entering the secret realm, Ning Tao carefully studied the entire map of the Ancient Demon Sect Secret Realm and marked out the monster species with different attributes. This kind of earth element scorpion is a rare species in the Ancient Demon Sect Secret Realm. Yes, a huge population of earth attribute monsters.
This yellow sand hill that stretches for dozens of miles is where this group of demon scorpions live, and the role of this group of demon scorpions is not just that. The earth element scorpions will also collect some earth element spiritual materials and place them in their lairs. Therefore, Ning Tao was ready to start a killing spree here.
I saw Ning Tao squeezing the spell in his hand, and dozens of fireballs scattered in all directions, flying towards the hills covered with yellow sand. The fireballs landed, and the flames burst out in all directions, awakening the earth scorpions hiding in their nests.
The disturbed Earth Elemental Scorpion climbed out of its nest and attacked towards the top of the mountain.
Ning Tao in the formation kept activating the Qinghong Sword, and the sword light flashed, and he saw that the earth element scorpions in the late stage of Qi training were lifeless, with only their bodies twitching unconsciously.
Then thirteen ghosts swarmed up, and the soul belonged to a one-horned ghost with a slightly earthy color, and all its flesh and blood was divided up by the other ghosts.
As the number of Earth Elemental Scorpions became less and less, Ning Tao felt more and more relaxed inside the formation. However, at this time, there was a sudden restlessness among the Earth Elemental Scorpions outside, and he saw only one Earth Elemental Scorpion that was as big as an adult ox. , came to the front of the scorpion group.
It was the leader of this group of earth scorpions, whose khaki carapace was as bright as a crystal. The leader of the earth scorpions neighed, moved his eight legs, and led the remaining hundreds of giant scorpions into the blood mist. among.
Ning Tao saw this scene without any panic in his eyes. With a wave of the Dharma flag in his hand, the One-horned Ghost King led all the ghosts and faced the giant scorpion who was leading the charge to stop it from moving forward. The giant scorpions that found the enemy fought fiercely around the ghosts. However, the monster giant scorpions, which could only attack physically, had no way to deal with the ghosts. Ning Tao, who was hiding in the blood mist, used one finger of magic to wrap around his wrist. The golden rope turned into a golden light and flew towards the place where the two sides were fighting.
Feeling that an attack was approaching, the leader of the Tu Yuan Scorpion waved his giant scorpion in an attempt to resist the attack. The golden rope was like a spiritual snake, swimming along the giant scorpion towards the giant scorpion leader. In a moment, the entire scorpion was tied up and moved. No.
Immediately afterwards, a blue-red flame flashed, and a blue-red flying sword shot out from the head. The giant scorpion that was still struggling instantly lost its life, leaving only its body twitching unconsciously.
Seeing this, all the ghosts swarmed up and in a moment they devoured all the flesh and blood of the giant scorpion leader, and the demon soul also entered the mouth of an earth-yellow ghost.
Seeing this situation, the remaining giant scorpions fled one after another, but they kept circling within the blood mist of the Blood Evil Formation. The green-red flying swords kept harvesting the lives of the fleeing giant scorpions. After a while, All the giant scorpions were killed, and only a few earth element scorpions escaped with their lives.
Wait until all the ghosts have devoured the flesh, flesh, and souls of all the earth scorpions.
Feeling that there was not much mana left in his body, Ning Tao silently sat cross-legged in the Blood Evil Formation to recover his mana. When his mana was restored, Qi Qi Ba Ba pinched his spell and put all the debris on the ground around him into his storage bag. .
Then he activated the restriction of the Blood Soul Banner, and saw that the blood-black mist that had just been covering a radius of tens of feet gradually shrank, and along with it a group of ghosts, returned to the banner in the blink of an eye.
Ning Tao made a move in his hand, and all thirteen Blood Soul Flags returned to his hand. After completing all the movements, he used his flying sword to fly down the hill.
Arriving at the entrance of a cave that was several feet in size, Ning Tao, holding a blood soul flag, swept in with his spiritual thoughts and soon had a basic understanding of the internal structure. The One-Horned Ghost King explored the path and walked straight inside.
We came to a huge grotto with a radius of several hundred feet. The bottom of the stone wall was densely covered with caves several meters wide. Occasionally, a Earth Scorpion crawled out of it.
Soon a giant scorpion discovered Ning Tao's figure. When the giant scorpion noticed the invading enemy, it neighed and called for its companions to come and fight the enemy.
After a while, dozens of giant scorpions, large and small, crawled out from each hole. The leader of them looked similar to the previous giant scorpion leader, but was slightly smaller in stature.
Seeing this, Ning Tao took out all the Blood Soul Flags and pressed the magic weapon. In an instant, more than ten ghosts roared out with billowing blood mist, drowning all the dozens of giant scorpions in front of him.
After completing these actions, Ning Tao went straight to the largest cave and stepped inside.
After walking diagonally downward for tens of meters, a stone room with a diameter of about ten meters came into view.
In the center of the cave is a nest made of medium-grade earth-attribute spiritual stones and mid-grade spiritual stones without attributes. On top of it lie three or four egg-shaped things wrapped in earth-yellow soft membranes.
Ning Tao took the photo and explored it in his hand. He sensed the faint breath of life inside and knew that it should be the egg of the Earth Scorpion. He raised his hand and put it into the spirit beast bag.
After that, he put all the spirit stones on the ground into the storage bag, and after a rough inventory, he found that there were one or two hundred earth attribute spirit stones and ordinary middle-grade spirit stones. Ning Tao couldn't help but feel a little happy.
Then he checked carefully and found that there was nothing, and then he was about to leave. Just as he was about to leave, he stopped again. With one hand, he took a handful and spread it with the soil under the spirit stone. He put it in his hand and rubbed it. Then put it to the tip of your nose and sniff lightly.
After a moment, his originally calm face turned into ecstasy. He quickly took out an empty storage bag and put all the loess underneath into the bag.
Ning Tao was carrying a storage bag containing loess, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
As far as Ning Tao knows, this kind of spiritual soil is called Xitu. It is a rare second-level spiritual material that can cultivate spiritual plants and elixirs. It is worth thousands of spiritual stones per kilogram.
Some dying elixir plants can be revived by sprinkling some soil mixed with spirit stone powder at the roots and filling them with spiritual water. When planting some precious third-level and fourth-level elixirs, they will also be revived. Use this.
Ning Tao, who almost missed the treasure, carefully explored the cave and made sure that nothing was missing, then stood up and left.
When they arrived at the grotto, they saw that the battle in the blood mist was coming to an end. Ning Tao ended the ongoing battle with a few swords, urging the ghosts to shrink their bodies, enter each scorpion cave, and remove the spiritual materials and spiritual stones. , animal eggs and the like are taken out.
