The spirit-scarred clam is a very strange monster.
They are naturally weak in combat ability, but their spiritual intelligence is easy to activate, and they often rely on powerful monsters.
The important thing is that their demon consciousness is more condensed than that of ordinary demon beasts. Even if it does not reach the second level, they can leave the body and are good at sensing the traces of spiritual energy flow.
In Yunhe's view, the "Lingshen Clam" and the nest of "Blue Water Snails" he bred are completely opposite monsters.
He knew this kind of monster because he had seen it in the classics in the Evergreen Sect's library after joining the Evergreen Sect.
Such monsters are rare in the world of immortality, but they are not unavailable, but they are mostly in the hands of some sects or families.
Because these forces can use the spirit-scarred clam to do something.
Find the spiritual vein!
Following the traces of spiritual energy to locate the spiritual veins is the greatest role of this monster in the world of immortality.
In addition, the spirit-marked clam can also be equated with the treasure-seeking rat to a certain extent. By sensing the traces of spiritual energy, some valuable spiritual plants, materials, and treasures can be found.
But even if the spirit-scarred clam is born with stronger spiritual intelligence and more condensed demon consciousness, it is impossible to condense the demon consciousness in the middle of the first level and achieve separation from the body, right?
As if sensing the strength gap between himself and Yun He, the spirit-marked clam trembled for a moment before slowly opening the clam shell.
A mass of pink and tender stuff underneath was exposed. At first glance, it seemed to be just clam meat, but as it squirmed, it slowly turned into the appearance of a small human.
At least, four or five of them resemble people.
If I had to say it, it might be more like ginseng fruit.
It blinked at Yun He with a pair of pitiful eyes, and there was a sense of intimacy and flattery in its demon consciousness.
Seeing its appearance, Yun He suddenly felt funny.
For some reason, Yun He couldn't help but feel good feelings in his heart when he saw it. Although with his will and cultivation, he would not be swayed by the vague good feelings, but he also realized that the spirit-marked clam had a certain affection for it. his role.
Since the spirit-scarred clam's spiritual intelligence has been opened up well and can even be condensed into demonic consciousness, it can at least serve as a "mouthpiece" for him.
Like black fish, loach, etc., because you have been with him for a long time, even if you are not very intelligent, you can understand his meaning from his every move.
But when facing other monsters, without the separated monster consciousness, it is almost impossible to communicate. When they meet, they fight. Many things that Yunhe wants to ask and understand cannot be obtained.
Moreover, he doesn't know much about the situation here, and he should be able to learn more or less from the spirit-scarred clam.
'Follow me from now on? '
At Yun He's signal, the spirit-scarred clam carefully brought its demonic consciousness, which could leave the body but was not strong at all, into contact with Yunhe's demonic consciousness and understood what he meant.
'......well. '
The thought of returning made Yunhe's eyes light up.
really.
Before the demon consciousness can leave the body, the demon beasts communicate more by instinct.
But once the demon consciousness can leave the body, many things will become much easier.
But what surprised him was that the voice that sounded in his mind actually sounded like a girl's.
'Or a female clam? '
boom!
But because the demonic consciousness had not yet been withdrawn, the spirit-scarred clam closed its shell shyly.
Yun He didn't take it seriously. He scratched his chin. After getting used to it, he learned to distinguish the thoughts in his mind from the information transmitted by the demon consciousness, so as not to cause the demon consciousness to transmit whatever he thought. What.
Tuk Tuk.
The paw tapped the clam shell lightly.
'Ask me if they are willing to surrender. '
Smart people like to be friends with smart people, and this group of blue water crocodiles are very good. They know how to understand current affairs and their appetite.
Moreover, the crocodile is also an amphibious creature, which makes it easier for him to have subordinates to use when he reaches the shore.
After receiving the meaning conveyed by the spirit-scarred clam, the group of blue-water crocodiles who did not dare to come forward looked at each other, glanced at the leader who was still being pinned to the ground by Yun He, and swallowed their saliva. .
Then, each blue water crocodile landed on the river bed obediently and lowered its head.
...
After a while.
Yun He took the spirit-scarred clam and escaped into the earth again.
As for the group of blue water crocodiles, he temporarily left them where they were and planned to take them back when he returned.
Although the spiritual energy here is stronger, the terrain and environment are more complex, and there is no land he likes, so it is not suitable for its current life.
Once you have the strength, you may be able to occupy this place.
During this period, he tried to ask the spirit-scarred clam. Even if its demonic consciousness could leave the body, based on the degree of concentration and intensity of its demonic consciousness, it should not be able to discover him who had used the "Turtle Breath Body Refining Technique".
Later, I learned from Linghen Clam's somewhat stumbling explanation.
It turns out that the spirit-scarred clam did not find him, but the traces of demonic power left in the soil when he performed the "Escape Technique" made the spirit-scarred clam aware of it.
Finding traces of spiritual energy, spiritual power, and demonic power is the strength of the spirit-scarred clam.
With the help of the spirit-scarred clam, Yun He's progress should have been much faster, but in reality, instead of being faster, it was even slower.
The spirit-scarred clam's separated demon consciousness could help him avoid some troublesome monsters as much as possible, but he also found a lot of valuable things.
Special gold and iron ores contained in the soil, spiritual plants guarded by some less powerful monsters, etc.
Although the speed was slow, Yunhe was immersed in the joy of "harvest".
A spirit-scarred clam would at least double or triple his income from this exploration trip!
but.
After going some distance deeper again, the spirit-scarred clam showed an extremely obvious emotion of fear.
'What's wrong? '
Later, after a while of Linghen Clam's "difficult" explanation, Yun He understood the general idea.
Not far ahead, there is a second-level monster!
'No wonder there are fewer monsters around, and most of them are not strong. '
However, the demonic consciousness of the spirit-scarred clam did not scan the other party, otherwise Yunhe and the others would probably be hunted down by now.
What the spirit-scarred clam felt was the traces of action left by an extremely powerful demonic power.
Yun He scratched his chin in confusion.
He didn't know why, but he felt... his chin was particularly itchy today.
He pondered for a long time.
'Tell me all the traces of the demonic power, and be careful not to be sensed. '
The demonic consciousness of a second-level monster can leave the body, but it is impossible to keep the demonic consciousness separated from the body all the time. This is a huge consumption.
In fact, second-level monsters are still instinctively accustomed to sensing changes in their surroundings through breath, beast intuition, and other methods.
Such habits may not be broken even if they reach a higher level.
So as long as you don't sweep the second-level monster, the other party won't notice it.
The spirit-scarred clam was very scared, but still followed Yun He's instructions and carefully told him all the traces of demonic power bit by bit.
Yunhe "drawn" these traces into a picture in his mind.
This is the activity trajectory of the second-level monster.
What is the most difficult thing for a person to change?
It's a habit.
And monsters also have their own habits.
Except for necessary hunting, the monotonous life of monsters is doomed to a single life pattern.
Comparison based on the traces of demonic power described by the spirit-scarred clam.
Places with heavier marks mean that the other party will stay longer, while places with lighter marks may just swim past.
Finding the location with the lightest traces of demon power is the place where they are least likely to be spotted when passing through.
As for going to have a face-to-face encounter with this second-level monster?
Yun He didn't think that the monk body killed a second-order red-backed arrow-winged falcon through many coincidences, and the monster body could kill the second-order monster beast.
Of course, if we really encounter someone, we should have no problem escaping by taking advantage of the "Earth Escape Technique".
This is why he dared to try.
that's all.
With the help of the spirit-scarred clam's demonic consciousness, his plan, and a little bit of luck, with the spirit-scarred clam trembling, he passed through the territory occupied by this second-level monster from the bottom of the river bed without any danger.
'hiss--'
After making sure it was safe, Yun He suddenly grabbed his chin twice.
It's getting itchy!
Even Yun He didn't notice it, maybe because he used too much force, the skin on his chin was broken.
But there was no blood.
Under the broken cortex, a layer of black appeared faintly.
Boom! Boom!
At the same time, he felt that his eardrums were swelling, as if his heart was beating beside his ears.
Linghen Clam suddenly felt excited.
It felt traces of spiritual energy stagnation!
And, it's not far away.
'Are there any monsters? '
Yun He suppressed his strange feeling and asked.
'No, I didn't feel it...'
Although the spirit-marked clam said it didn't exist, Yun He still tensed up and concentrated completely.
At times like this, you need to be more careful.
Slowed down and approached slowly.
"Squeezing" through a stone wall made of unknown stones.
His vision suddenly widened.
They actually entered a cave space under the river bed, but this space was also filled with water.
'What a rich aura! '
As soon as you enter, what you see is a broken and simple foundation stone.
'Array? ! '
Yun He was quite surprised.
This is the world of monsters and beasts, and he doesn't know if there are people here. Anyway, he has never seen any trace of human activities, let alone human monks.
But here, I actually saw the formation!
You must know that human monks are not as strong as monsters, and their lifespan is not as long as monsters. A very important part of the reason why they can compete with monsters is that human monks are better at cultivating immortals and various arts, which can help increase the speed of cultivation and the intensity of fighting. .
It's not that monsters don't know how to use formations, it's just that... with the special characteristics of monsters, how many levels do they need to be able to access the formations?
Third level? Or... the fourth level?
It's a pity that he doesn't understand the formation method, and he can't tell what level of formation this originally was based on the rotten formation base alone.
'The foundation of this formation has been decaying for who knows how many years, and the formation has long since failed. '
Boom! Boom! .....
The heartbeat coming from the eardrums became more and more obvious, and Yun He pulled his chin twice.
Look up.
It is a huge stone pillar rising from the ground.
It's just that this stone pillar presents a strange and deep black color.
In the middle of it, there are several spiritual stones condensed!
Yun He's eyes lit up.
'go! '
A flash of silver light flew out of the storage bag.
With a "crash", this unusual-looking stone pillar was split open easily.
A faint halo of light drifted away.
What appeared before his eyes was a bead the size of a thumb, surrounded by a rich aura.
As the beads rotate, the spiritual energy in the cave also rotates.
'This is.....'
Looking at the bead, Yun He was really surprised.
'Lingzhuzhu? ! '
Boom!
Suddenly, that heartbeat sound came again.
Buzz——
Immediately afterwards, he saw a wisp of dark red liquid floating from under the broken stone pillar.
Surrounded by the "Ling Gathering Pearl".
It was beating as if it were alive.
The frequency of its beating matched perfectly with the sound of Yun He's beating heart!
And every time it beats, a very small part of it faintly escapes into the water.
The most important thing is that when the water flow mixed with this unknown liquid passed by, both Yunhe and Linghen Clam felt refreshed, their thinking became active, and their thoughts became clearer.
Yun He reacted.
His eyes suddenly lit up.
'Is this the source that allows the monsters active in this area to activate their intelligence faster? '
what?
boom! ! !
Before he could figure it out, there was a sudden loud roar in the cave.
