When they first entered the secret realm, all the monks entered the periphery of the secret realm.
The closer you get to the center of the secret realm, the more precious elixirs there are and the more dangerous they are.
There are very few second-order monsters on the outside, but closer to the middle area, the number of second-order monsters will increase.
There will even be second-level mid-level monsters.
In order to harvest more and better elixirs, monks from various sects and affiliated families approached the central area of the secret realm without hesitation.
Because there were many second-level monsters, the five major sects slowly entered the middle area after gathering enough manpower, being cautious all the way and not daring to escape alone.
Ximen Changqing is an exception. He has been pretending to be a casual cultivator and heading towards the central area of the secret realm alone.
He has an animal skin map in his hand, which can help him avoid the territory of powerful monsters.
When encountering a precious elixir protected by a powerful monster, he will make his own choice based on whether the elixir is needed.
If it is a very important elixir, even if the guardian is a second-order monster, he will not be afraid. Although his strength is weaker than that of a second-order monster, he still has the strength to build a foundation in half a step.
The Forbidden God's cloud and mist technique is enough to blind the perception of second-level monsters, and low-grade spiritual weapons can break through the defense of second-order monsters. If that doesn't work, there are still talismans available.
The blazing sword talisman gifted by the eldest brother was useless even once. Later, the Pingshan seal talisman was unexpectedly seized.
It also failed once, giving him six opportunities to use the talisman.
The second-level monsters in the secret realm are absolutely unable to defend against the attacks of the talisman. After all, the talisman possesses some of the power of the magic weapon and is a simplified version of the magic weapon.
The last main medicine of the Foundation Establishment Pill is distributed in the middle area of the secret realm. This elixir is a purple monkey flower that has matured for five hundred years and grows in a dark cave.
In the secret realm, there are tens of thousands of dark caves, and there may be something inside every cave. It is really troublesome to search for each cave. There are even scary monsters in some caves.
Of course, there are also some caves. During the last exploration, I discovered immature seedlings and marked them. You can just follow the marks to find them.
On Ximen Changqing's animal skin map, there is only the approximate distribution range of the purple monkey flower, and there is no specific label. Tens of thousands of caves are distributed within a radius of thousands of miles.
He could only search one by one, and risk encountering second-level monsters. It was worth taking some risks for the last main medicine.
"I searched twelve caves and found some common elixirs. The purple monkey flower is really hard to find."
Ximen Changqing walked out of the cave and wiped the blood on his body. There were no second-order monsters in these caves. They were all vulnerable first-order monsters.
"Searching through caves is really scary."
He thought for a moment and suddenly came up with a new idea, which might save some time.
Generally, the more valuable the elixir is, the more powerful the monster it protects. Purple Monkey Flower is a 500-year-old elixir, and the monster it protects should be at the second level.
If there are no second-level monsters in the cave, there is no need to explore.
According to this idea, the search is much more efficient. First provoke outside the cave. If the first-order monster rushes out of the cave, just give up.
"The second-order low-grade crypt spider must have something good."
Ximen Changqing smiled and decided to take down the crypt spider first. According to its bloodline, this should be a medium-sized monster and not very strong.
The cave spider's eyes were red, and the way it looked over showed a trace of disdain and madness. In its view, first-order humans were not worth mentioning.
It sprayed out a large amount of spider silk from its tail and attacked Ximen Changqing directly. It was going to tie up the human boy first, and then slowly suck it up and enjoy it.
Ximen Changqing was very familiar with the attack methods of crypt spiders and had long been on guard against them.
The list of strange insects in the world lists the detailed information of all the monster insects, including the attack methods and strength of these monster insects.
Ximen Changqing, who had escaped the attack, broke out of the ground directly at the entrance of the cave, preparing to go in first to see what was there. If there was no Purple Monkey Flower, wouldn't it be a waste of time.
"Hiss..."
The crypt spider was furious. It didn't expect that a mere first-level human boy could actually dodge its attack.
Entering its cave more boldly is a serious provocation to it, how can it be tolerated.
It jumped to block the entrance of the hole, and sprayed sticky spider silk from its tail to seal the entrance.
By the time it sealed the entrance, Ximen Changqing had entered the depths of the cave and discovered a mature purple monkey flower and a dozen immature seedlings.
However, he didn't have time to pick at this time. The burrowing spider was behind him. He had to deal with this beast before he could pick the purple monkey flowers with peace of mind.
The Forbidden God's cloud and mist technique was instantly released, leaving the entire cave in mist. At the same time, low-grade spiritual weapons were also sacrificed to attack the second-order cave spiders.
This crypt spider mainly relies on spiritual consciousness and vision, and its hearing and sensing abilities are relatively weak.
Facing the Forbidden God's cloud and mist in the cave, it looked very irritable, and the spider silk from its tail was sprayed everywhere, trying to wrap Ximen Changqing.
He has long understood the attack method of this beast. Naturally, he will not be hit by the spider silk. The Forbidden God Cloud Mist Technique will not restrict the caster himself.
He could clearly understand the situation of the crypt spiders, just like watching a play.
This beast's carapace is relatively thick, and its strength is not weaker than low-grade spiritual weapons. However, Ximen Changqing's spiritual power is not strong enough. Every attack can only damage it, but cannot kill it.
"This beast must be left alone for a moment."
Ximen Changqing took a deep breath and used the Wood Vine Technique to tie up the underground spider.
At the moment when the beast was still, a low-grade spiritual weapon was thrust into its mouth.
Suddenly, a foul-smelling black-green liquid sputtered out and sprayed all over the floor. It looked particularly disgusting.
"hiss……"
The crypt spider was not dead, but was seriously injured. It spit out the inferior spiritual weapon and roared angrily.
But its consciousness and eyesight were useless, and it could only randomly spray out spider silk from its tail, attack everywhere in the cave, and weave a chaotic web.
The cave space is not large, and each spider silk is the eye of the cave spider. As long as there is movement from a certain spider silk, it can determine the location of the enemy.
When Ximen Changqing touched a piece of spider silk, the cave spider rushed over immediately. Fortunately, he dodged in time.
If the spiders were allowed to weave the entire space in the cave with webs, his situation would be really bad.
Fortunately, this beast has been seriously injured, and the attack method is relatively simple, so it is easy to break this move.
He used a low-grade magic weapon to touch the spider silk elsewhere and attract the crypt spider.
Then, Ximen Changqing used another low-grade spiritual weapon, the Xuanyin Flying Sword, to stab the tail of the burrowing spider, piercing it from the part where the spider silk was sprayed, and bursting the burrowing spider's chrysanthemum.
"Hiss..."
The crypt spider was stabbed in the tail and let out a miserable scream.
