Time goes back to a while ago.
Time and space suddenly changed. Looking at the unfamiliar environment in front of him, Mo Juren was a little confused.
Teleportation array?
At this time, he had realized that there was actually a teleportation array arranged on the high platform in the cave. He didn't know why it was triggered by him, and he was then teleported to a strange place.
Moreover, this teleportation array is still one-way, and there is no corresponding array here.
The surrounding light was very dim, and you could vaguely see that this was an extremely vast cave, with a length and width of more than two hundred feet, and a height of more than a hundred feet.
A huge circular platform was built in the central area of the cave, on which stood a deer-shaped statue that was more than ten feet tall and emitted gleaming white light. Around the statue, there is a full circle of bronze oil lamps about half a foot high. The lights have not been extinguished and are still burning at this moment.
There is a faint smell of lamp oil floating in the air. Not only is it not unpleasant, but it has a refreshing fragrance.
Mo Juren looked slightly surprised, then waved his arms, and the moonstones hit the roof of the cave one by one, illuminating the entire cave in an instant.
At this time, he could see everything in the cave completely.
This is not an ordinary natural cave, but has a lot of traces of artificial carvings. Both the cave roof and the surrounding stone walls are covered with strange pictures. It can be concluded that they are extremely old.
"White deer?" Mo Juren's heart moved slightly. All white is the characteristic of the ice deer clan. If your guess is correct, this place must be related to the Ice Deer clan.
However, this arrangement was obviously similar to an altar, and he couldn't help but have many associations in his mind. The person enshrined on the high platform must be the ancestor of the Ice Deer clan, right?
These are just guesses. He is not sure, and he is too lazy to delve into it. At this time, he can't care about it. Another more important matter must be dealt with immediately.
Turning his head and looking not far away, there, the huge red golden ape was sitting upright, obviously everyone was teleported here like him. The other party had already woken up and was looking at him with a pair of huge eyes in horror.
"You're scared!" Mo Juren was a little surprised. He knew the true strength of this ape. If he was fighting alone, even he might not be his opponent.
Suddenly it occurred to me that the other party had been severely injured before, and he probably hadn't recovered yet. Otherwise, with the violent character of the ape, it would never be possible to show a fearful expression.
Thinking of this, his face suddenly showed a look that was half-smiling, and the green light flashed, and the green sword appeared again, spinning around him.
"Ho ho..." The red golden ape seemed to have guessed something, and the panic in his eyes became more intense. He roared a few times, with a hint of intimidation.
It is really scared, because the girl had specifically warned her before leaving that she should not take violent actions for at least seven days, especially not to mobilize the demon power in her body. Otherwise, the injuries caused by the previous overdraft potential will be aggravated again, and it will be extremely difficult to recover again. difficult.
However, if you don’t mobilize the demon power in your body, what should you do now? This human monk obviously has bad intentions towards it. If he doesn't resist, he will definitely die if he doesn't?
What's worse is that in its current situation, it doesn't have much strength. Even if it resists, it will probably end in death.
After thinking about it, it was all a dead end, and the giant ape couldn't help but feel a little desperate.
"Do you want to die or live?" Suddenly, as if something suddenly occurred to him, Mo Juren suddenly asked.
"?" Upon hearing this, the giant ape's originally somewhat desperate heart suddenly felt ripples, and there was doubt in his huge eyes?
"If you want to die, I can help you now. If you want to live, it's easy. You just need to hand over 30% of your soul and become my guardian spirit beast from now on."
This was a thought that suddenly came to Mo Juren's mind. All he needed was the demon blood with extremely high potential in the opponent's body. As for the sixth-level metallic demon soul, he could hunt down the other one in the northern sea without any impact. .
But by doing this, you can harvest a guardian spirit beast with extremely strong combat power. It can be said that you kill two birds with one stone.
"Roar..." After hearing that this was such a way to survive, the giant ape suddenly roared.
As a monster with extremely high intelligence, it naturally understands the consequences of doing so. Handing over 30% of the soul means completely handing your life into the hands of the other party. From then on, life and death can be taken by the other party in a single thought.
"I don't want to!" Seeing the other party's reaction, Mo Juren's expression suddenly became stern. The green sword suspended in mid-air suddenly expanded to several feet in length, and he shouted coldly,
"If you don't want to, then go die."
Before he finished speaking, the giant sword appeared above the opponent's head like lightning, and then it slashed downwards without mercy.
"Roar..." The giant ape was completely frightened. How could this human being be so violent? He would take its life if he disagreed.
It is actually a little shaken. After all, the current situation is indeed not good. It cannot resist the opponent at all. It is not impossible to be a spiritual beast. It is just that the conditions can be more tolerant, such as not handing over the soul, or less .
Who would have thought that the opponent would just slash with his sword. In desperation, it didn't care about anything else. It immediately held its head in its palms and bent over, letting out a roar of surrender.
"Buzz..." The giant sword dropped halfway and stopped instantly when it was only a few inches away from the giant ape's head. The cold sword wind passed by, making the giant ape's scalp feel numb.
"Have you figured it out?"
"Ho ho..." The giant ape's huge head nodded, obviously not wanting to lose his life in such frustration.
"In that case, hand over your soul." Mo Juren ordered directly, still looking cold.
The giant ape had no choice but to open its mouth and spit out a golden ball of light, vaguely looking like a mini ape the size of a palm.
The next moment, a look of pain appeared on the face of the giant ape. The golden light ball trembled slightly and split into two. The larger part went directly back to the mouth and nose, while the smaller part hesitated for a moment, and then It turned into a golden ball of light and slowly flew forward.
Mo Juren did not hesitate, his hands were filled with golden light, and he directly took the ball of light into his palm. At this time, he did not have any special treasures such as the Forbidden God Card, so he only planned to put away this soul temporarily and wait until he returned to Tianxing City to deal with it in the future.
As the other palm flipped, a black jade bottle emerged. He muttered something to the mouth of the bottle. Suddenly, a few wisps of black air spurted out, and in a blink of an eye, the golden ball was wrapped around it and pulled straight into it.
Seeing this, Mo Juren couldn't help but feel a hint of joy in his eyes, and immediately closed the bottle. Just in case, an intermediate sealing talisman was affixed and then put away.
The giant ape in the distance naturally saw this scene, and a strange color flashed in his eyes. The other party actually just put away its soul and did nothing else.
Doesn't this mean that as long as one's strength recovers a little, then...
It's a pity that it really doesn't understand the cunningness of human monks, especially with a being like Mo Juren, how can it give it the slightest chance of making a comeback?
"Let go of your consciousness, I will plant a restraint on controlling the gods."
"Roar..." Hope was shattered instantly, and the giant ape couldn't help but roar loudly. After handing over the soul, he still needs to plant a restraint on controlling the gods again. This is simply too much bullying.
"Why, you don't want to?" Mo Juren narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a flash of light in his hand, and the black jade bottle appeared again. Fumbling for the jade bottle, he said with a half-smile,
"Or are you pretending to surrender before, and will you backfire on me when you regain your strength in the future?"
"Woo..." The giant ape was extremely aggrieved, with a hint of whimpering in his voice. Taking advantage of the weakest moment to press forward like this is too bullying. Faced with such a ruthless master, it couldn't help but despair about its future.
"Sister Caiwei, where are you and why haven't you come back?"
I screamed in my heart, but there was nothing I could do. With all my soul handed over, it was no longer possible to resist, so I had to obediently let go of my consciousness and let the other party do what he did.
After a while, the God Controlling Restriction was planted, and Mo Juren felt relieved. Naturally, such a high-level monster that has been subdued halfway cannot have any feelings, and its loyalty is even negative. Therefore, no amount of caution is too much. Even if a prohibition on controlling the gods is planted, it is only a temporary measure. Only refining the soul into a life card is the safest way.
"You don't need to be sad. I'm just doing this just in case. I don't mean to torture you. On the contrary, the most important thing I lack is resources. Follow me and I won't treat you badly in the future." When it comes to controlling beasts, one cannot blindly suppress them. The only way to do this is to be tolerant and gentle. It was true that he was a little cruel just now, so a little comfort at this time would have an excellent effect.
While speaking, his sleeves and robes suddenly flicked, and there was a flash of golden light, but a large amount of hardware and spiritual materials emerged, forming a small mountain on the ground.
These were originally gifts he planned to bring back to Xiao Jin, but they came in handy now.
Sure enough, after hearing these words and the sudden appearance of 'delicious food' on the ground, most of the despair in the red golden ape's eyes dissipated, replaced by unconcealable greed.
"This is a gift from the master, enjoy it slowly." This look made Mo Juren think of Xiao Jin and couldn't help but laugh. It seems that he is another guy with the attributes of a foodie.
After saying that, he ignored the other party who couldn't help but start eating, and turned to look into the cave carefully.
I was in too much of a hurry and didn't take a closer look. At this moment, I suddenly discovered that the cave seemed to be closed and there was no exit.
Mo Juren frowned slightly, then completely released his consciousness and started detecting again in the cave.
Unfortunately, after a while, he still found nothing after detecting it no less than ten times. What surprised him even more was that his consciousness only penetrated a few feet into the stone wall, but seemed to encounter some kind of invisible barrier and could no longer move forward. Not only that, the spiritual consciousness that penetrated was directly bounced back.
"Restricted!" Mo Juren's complexion changed slightly, and he suddenly had some bad premonition in his heart. After thinking about it, a yellow light flashed around his body, and he instantly escaped underground.
"?" The red golden ape who was feasting was startled for a moment. Where is the person? Why is he gone? However, it is too lazy to think too much. Its freedom is gone, so why should it care about so much? He threw a fist-sized piece of golden ore into his mouth again and chewed it with great enjoyment.
Unlike the 'comfortable' Red Gold Ape, Mo Juren's face was a little gloomy at this time. He had just dived into the ground about three feet deep, but he could no longer continue. The invisible barrier appeared again, completely blocking his way. .
What's going on? You can't get out yet?
He tried to use the Green Sword to open a way, but to his surprise, the barrier was extremely strong, and the sword's blade did not leave even the slightest trace on it.
Somewhat unwillingly, he began to change direction. He searched everywhere on the ground, the surrounding walls, and the ceiling of the cave, but the results were no different.
The barrier was not only powerful, but also a little strange. It seemed to be completely integrated without any gaps, but it completely blocked the entire cave.
What is this, a special formation? Or a separate space?
However, nothing could change the fact that he was really trapped now.
At this time, Mo Juren couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart. You must know that he broke into the cave while the great demon in the transformation stage left, and accidentally teleported here, which was not safe.
I guess it won't be long before the big demon will return. When the red golden ape disappears, he will naturally understand what's going on. When the other party also enters the cave here, wouldn't he be doomed?
Turning to look at the red golden ape next to him who was enjoying the 'big meal' with a contented expression, Mo Juren couldn't help but feel something in his heart, and then asked:
"You are familiar with the owner of this place. Do you know where this place is? Is there a way out?"
Upon hearing the inquiry, the Red Gold Ape shook his head without thinking, as if he had no idea at all. However, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and suddenly he roared a few words in a low voice, and kept gesticulating with his huge arms.
"You mean, only the great demon in the transformation stage, the owner of this place, knows where this is. He can go out after he arrives?" Mo Juren roughly guessed what the other party wanted to express, but in his heart But he was even more speechless. Aren't you talking nonsense? As the lord of this place, the other party naturally knows the situation here. This is not the key at all, but that you cannot meet the other party, otherwise, your life will be at risk.
How to do this? Can't we just wait here to die?
He looked at the high platform in the center of the cave, and his heart suddenly moved. Although I scanned it several times with my spiritual sense just now, I didn't find anything. I wonder if there is anything missing? After all, in the entire cave, there is only this high platform with dozens of bronze oil lamps and statues that are special. Maybe there will be a turn for the better.
Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate, and immediately he flashed and flew straight to the high platform.
It was very calm and smooth, and I didn't encounter any restrictions during the process. The stone countertop beneath your feet is as bright as a mirror, and is not as intricately carved with spiritual patterns as the previous one.
This couldn't help but make him a little disappointed. He thought it was similar to the teleportation array, but unfortunately it didn't look like it. However, when he focused his attention on a certain bronze oil lamp, he couldn't help but be startled. The appearance of the oil lamp was actually engraved with spiritual patterns all over its body. Because it was so small and hidden, I didn't even notice it just now.
Such a discovery immediately made him feel joyful, and he immediately let go of his spiritual consciousness to observe. Sure enough, all thirty-six bronze oil lamps were in a similar situation.
The oil lamp is engraved with spiritual patterns. It can't be just for decoration, right? Maybe it's some kind of formation.
Mo Juren secretly guessed in his heart and began to check carefully.
Unfortunately, he only had a superficial understanding of the art of formations, and was far from being proficient. After looking at it for a long time, he didn't see anything.
"The Jue of Extreme Chaos"
He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He had many ancient formation inheritances left by the Ice Soul Fairy. He even had a copy of Xin Ruyin's formation experience. However, he had been busy running around, except for those involving the ancient teleportation formation. I have spent a certain amount of energy researching some of them, but I have basically never looked at others.
After thinking about it, he raised his hand and shot a stream of spiritual power towards one of the copper lamps. As a result, the spiritual power seemed to be absorbed and disappeared directly into the copper lamp. But the flame on the copper lamp remained motionless, without any change.
"Absorb mana?" Mo Juren's eyes lit up, and then he pointed with one hand, and the powerful mana directly turned into a beam of light, and continued to input into the copper lamp.
At this time, he just felt that the bronze oil lamp was unusual. It was like a bottomless pit, devouring his magic power crazily. It was not until a full quarter of an hour passed that the copper lamp finally changed. The originally dull appearance suddenly became brighter, and auras of light flowed between the complicated lines.
However, the strange thing is that the flames on the copper lamp are still burning quietly as before, without any change.
