After searching for about half an hour, we finally stopped at the entrance of a cave.
Looking at the dark hole in front of him, Mo Juren looked a little solemn.
The fifth-level monster, the golden-backed monster mantis, is as powerful as a human monk in the alchemy stage. How could he deal with such a powerful existence?
I remember that in the original work, Han Li almost died when he saw this monster for the first time. Fortunately, the spiritual insect monsters had extremely low intelligence, so they had a chance to escape.
After comprehensive consideration, he is indeed not suitable for contact with the other party now.
However, he is extremely coveted for the demon body materials of the golden-backed demon mantis, especially a fifth-level demon blood, which he must obtain. On the contrary, the storage bag left by the pill-forming monk was not very attractive to him.
Of course, that's only relatively speaking. There are many secret techniques for cultivating and driving spiritual insects recorded there, all of which are secrets that Yuling Sect does not pass down. No matter what, he will not give up.
But, how to get it?
After pondering for a moment, he suddenly thought of something. With a flash of light in his hand, a dark object emerged. It was the top-grade magic weapon 'Spirit-Sealing Magic Cloak' that he had bought at Wanbao Pavilion before.
According to Mrs. Lin, although this robe is only of the highest quality, it is extremely effective in concealing spiritual power and aura. After putting it on, even a monk in the early stage of forming a pill would be unable to detect anything without deliberately searching for it.
Of course, they are sellers after all, so it is normal to exaggerate. However, it is not too outrageous to think that even if there is moisture in it.
Although the golden-backed monster mantis is a level five monster, its strength is comparable to that of a monk in the pill formation stage. However, it has many weaknesses, especially in terms of spiritual intelligence, which is extremely low. This is also a characteristic of spiritual insect-like monsters. It is extremely difficult to grow spiritually.
In this way, I should be able to rely on this spirit-sealing robe. As long as I am cautious and avoid the other party's induction, the possibility of quietly taking away the storage bag is very high.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated. After putting on his robes neatly, he stepped directly towards the entrance of the cave.
In order to hide his presence as much as possible, Mo Juren did not use any lighting instruments and directly used the extreme eye technique. Suddenly, he could see the situation in the cave clearly.
The so-called cave is actually very small, and the depth of the cave is only seven or eight feet. The cave was even more empty, with nothing but bones on the ground.
"The monster is not here?"
Seeing this, Mo Juren suddenly felt happy. It was not just the right time, it would save him from being on tenterhooks. Not daring to delay, he quickly searched around.
The cave was not big to begin with, and after just a moment, the target was seen in a corner, a skeleton wearing a gray robe, with an intact storage bag tied around his waist.
This is not a place to stay for a long time. After finding the target, he directly reaches out and takes it into his hand without checking, and immediately turns around and leaves.
However, as soon as he took a step, his expression suddenly changed drastically, and his whole body instantly became shorter.
His good luck seemed to have run out. At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed across the entrance of the cave, and a mantis-shaped monster flew in at high speed. It even held a giant bison in its mouth, which it had obviously just killed. prey. The bison was huge and obviously no ordinary beast. Unfortunately, it had no power to resist this beast.
"Golden-backed Mantis!" Mo Juren's face suddenly darkened, and he couldn't help cursing in his heart, this damn mantis still has such a habit, why does he have to take it home after eating it?
Although he complained in his heart, his body did not dare to make any big movements. Judging from the situation just now, the spirit-sealing robe can indeed block the opponent's detection, but one should not be careless. If something goes wrong, it will be too late to cry.
He did not leave immediately, but stood there quietly observing the other party's every move. As expected of a level five monster, its appetite was truly astonishing. A giant bison was devoured cleanly in the blink of an eye.
After finishing eating, the golden-backed mantis lay down on the spot, its triangular head turned slightly a few times, and then slowly lowered its head, seemingly falling into a deep sleep.
Seeing this scene, Mo Juren immediately seized this hard-won opportunity and quietly approached the cave entrance.
Lady Luck seemed to think of him again. Although she was wary during the process, there was no accident after all. Until she walked out of the cave entrance, she was still not discovered by the golden-backed mantis.
…
In mid-air, Mo Juren, who was sitting on Xiaojin's back, finally breathed a long sigh of relief. Today is really a bit risky. If the spirit sealing robe is not powerful enough, if you want to come out, you will have to shed your skin even if you don't die.
Fortunately, there was no danger after all. Moreover, the harvest this time is not bad, the secret breeding technique of Yuling Sect, many spiritual insects, and it also comes with a high-quality storage bag.
After a simple tap, a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
This time the operation was basically completed. Not only did they recover the Corpse Refining Iron Slave, but they also obtained a magic weapon, the Green Brilliant Sword, plus many secret magic spirit insects, etc. It was a fruitful harvest.
The only pity is that the golden-backed mantis was not destroyed. This thing is too scary. There is nothing we can do about it for the time being, so we can only put it aside for the time being.
However, he is not in a hurry. The golden-backed mantis cannot escape in a short period of time anyway. He will just wait until he has enough means to return.
There was a flash of light in his hand, and a green jade slip appeared. Putting it on his forehead, countless messages came in immediately, and it didn't stop until a moment later.
Mo Juren closed his eyes tightly and slowly sorted out the information in the jade slips. At the same time, he was also thinking about another thing in his mind. Why did this Dan-Jie monk from the Yuling Sect appear in Lanzhou? Why was he seriously injured and dying, and had to look for the body in a panic?
Who killed him, the monk of the same level, or the ancestor at the Nascent Soul stage? With his injuries so severe, the possibility of the latter is extremely high.
What’s more interesting is that this is Lanzhou, which happens to be the territory of Spirit Beast Mountain. The relationship between Spirit Beast Mountain and Yuling Sect is such a complicated one. The reason behind this happening has to make people think deeply.
There were too many questions, making him more and more curious. Especially at this time, you must know that the day of invasion by the devil is not far away. Although the specific time needs to be postponed for a few years, such a major event must have been planned in advance, and some plans may have been implemented long ago.
He thought about Mr. Han again. In recent years, the dragon has often disappeared, and even the research on spiritual talismans has stopped. Moreover, the previous few visits were all in vain.
"Yu Ling Sect, Spirit Beast Mountain, Demonic Invasion, Han Family..." He recited these names silently over and over again, while his mind was thinking about future plans at a rapid pace.
Even though he successfully entered Spirit Beast Mountain, he was still on the winning side. However, he still didn't dare to be careless at all. What he was guarding against was not the six sects, but the six demon sects that would rule the country of Yue in the future.
Although Zhengdao is not a good person, he still retains a bottom line after all. However, the magic way is just the opposite. The word "demon" explains everything, and the bottom line is completely ignored. Bloody things such as soul extraction, soul refining, blood sacrifices, etc. are everywhere, regardless of whether it should be done or not, just whether it is necessary or not. , as long as you are happy and as long as it is in your own interests, you can do things without any scruples.
