"Comparable to a true-level monster?" Bai Shuangzhi exclaimed, and the expressions of Xiao Lin and the other two people also changed slightly.
True-level monsters are absolutely fatal to cultivators like them in the Qi Refining Stage. Now Xiao Lin encounters a mortal-level Dzogchen monster. Even if he cannot win, he has a 70-80% chance of returning with his whole body. Grasp.
But when encountering a true-level monster, the probability is at least reduced by half. It would be good to have a 20-30% certainty of escaping unscathed. Compared with the mortal-level Dzogchen monster, the true-level monster is not a level difference. But it has crossed a big realm.
Just like the gap between cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage and those in the Foundation Establishment Stage, if cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage are just mortals on the road to immortality, then those in the Foundation Establishment Stage are the real immortal cultivators, regardless of their strength. Or in terms of life level, they are already very different from ordinary people.
Even if Xiao Lin has practiced two basic spells to great perfection, and encounters a cultivator in the foundation-building stage, it will basically be a life-or-death situation.
Now Xiao Lin began to understand why the cave maps sold in Xueling Immortal City were very secretive about the Stone Forest Canyon. This was because most of the cultivators who had seen the Shadow Python had already fallen, even the few with strong combat power. If they were lucky enough to escape from the mouth of the Shadow Python, they would probably not publicize it. And the cave map they drew must be different from those from the mainland, and they all need to be purchased at a high price.
It seems that Nangong Chen got such a map and learned about the existence of the Shadow Python.
"When we enter the stone forest canyon later, we must be extremely careful. Once we encounter a monster attack, no matter it is a shadow python or not, don't fight. Pass through the stone forest canyon as quickly as possible. Once we fight with a monster, if the movement attracts the monster, Shadow Python, that's very dangerous." Nangong Chen looked at several people and said with a solemn expression.
Among these people, Nangong Chen was already the leader. Naturally, they had no doubts about Nangong Chen's proposal and nodded in agreement.
Then the five people began to enter the Stone Forest Canyon.
The Stone Forest Canyon looks a bit gloomy because there are thousands of feet of peaks on both sides, and the canyon is densely covered with stone forests ranging from several feet to dozens of feet high. However, the five of them are cultivators and can already see the night as day, so that's okay. There is nothing uncomfortable about it.
Xiao Lin couldn't help but look up at the sky. He didn't know who built this cave. It seemed to be an independent space. There was no sun or moon in the sky, but it was always emitting a faint white light, making the entire The first floor of the cave is like a paradise.
If it weren't for the monsters and beasts everywhere, it would be an excellent place to hide from the world. However, Xiao Lin and others did not have this leisurely elegance at this moment. They walked towards the depths of the Stone Forest Canyon with wary faces.
The ax on Nangong Chen's shoulder was also held in his hand. Bai Shuangzhi's pretty face on the side was also full of solemnity. She was holding a small bell in her hand, exuding a faint burning breath, which made Xiao Lin pay more attention. A few glances.
Xiao Lin's Seven-Blade Slash was also held in his hand. At the same time, there were six looming emerald green spiritual shields around him, spinning around him. After completion, he was able to control the size and number of spiritual shields. However, Xiao Lin did not intend to reveal his strength from the beginning, so he only used the power of silent level spells.
The tall monk Wu Changqing is holding a palm-sized silver mirror in his hand. The silver light is shining, but there is indeed a cyan cold light flashing from the mirror surface. The monks' magic weapons are divided according to their functions. In fact, they are mainly divided into two types. The first is like the seven-edged sword in Xiao Lin's hand.
Mainly relying on the sharpness of the Seven-Edge Slash itself and its ability to amplify the sword's energy to attack the enemy, but there are also many magic weapons that have some special functions. For example, some magic weapons can amplify the power of their own spells and attack the enemy through spells. But there are also some magic weapons that have special abilities.
In the Tianlu Mountains, most of the refining materials required for the magical weapons used by cultivators in the major fairy cities are obtained from monsters. Therefore, they will carry some special abilities of the monsters, and thus produce some special abilities. of magic weapon.
The small bell held by Bai Shuangzhi should be a sonic attack weapon, and the silver mirror held by the tall monk surnamed Wu is probably a magic weapon that can amplify the power of his own spells, and there are even There are many magical weapons that carry toxins to attack, and there are also a few that seal some thunder and earth fire to attack the enemy.
However, the price of magic weapons with special abilities is generally much more expensive than ordinary attack magic weapons, and the quantity is also extremely rare. Generally, it is unlikely for middle- and low-level cultivators in the Qi Refining Period to own it. Only Only those who are in the later stage of Qi refining or even the Dzogchen cultivators can possess it.
Of course, this is not to say that middle and low-level cultivators cannot afford it, but this type of magic weapon is rarely sold in major magic weapon shops. Most of the special magic weapons in the hands of late Qi refining or Dzogchen monks are They are all customized after hunting some special monsters to obtain materials, and a small number of them are purchased from major auction houses.
Therefore, Xiao Lin is extremely cautious about cultivators who are in the late stage of Qi refining and above, because once they break up, God knows what kind of weird magic weapon the other party will take out from the storage bag. If he happens to be able to restrain himself, it will be troublesome. Big.
As for the short monk surnamed He, he held a black two-foot-long dragon-headed crutch in his hand. Nangong Chen and Bai Shuangzhi did not use the wind control technique, but directly poured mana into their legs, step by step. Walking towards the stone forest canyon, each step directly took about ten feet.
Xiao Lin naturally did the same, following closely behind a few people, and at the same time his spiritual consciousness was emitted, and he paid careful attention to his surroundings.
After going dozens of miles deep, the five of them were not attacked by monsters, so their tense nerves relaxed a little. However, soon, they saw several bloody bones that seemed to be corroded by acid, which made the few This is shocking. Needless to say, these people are monks who died after being attacked by monsters.
And looking at the remaining flesh and blood on the bones, it was obvious that he had died not long ago. This made the slightly relaxed nerves of several people tense up again, and the pretty face of Bai Shuangzhi beside Xiao Lin also turned a little pale.
"Ah~" A shrill scream suddenly sounded in the stone forest canyon, and because there were thousands of feet of peaks on both sides of the canyon, the scream kept echoing in the canyon, and gradually disappeared after a long time.
The faces of several people changed. That scream was not one of Xiao Lin's people, and the source of the sound should be several hundred feet in front of them.
Nangong Chen and Xiao Lin glanced at each other and saw solemn looks in each other's eyes. However, none of them had any intention of giving up halfway. Those who have been able to reach this point are all people who are very determined to the Tao. Others Even if it was just a scream, even if the Shadow Python was really close at hand, they would never back down.
Nangong Chen's hand holding the giant ax turned white, and the remaining people followed closely, continuing to walk deeper into the stone forest canyon.
After another cup of tea, Xiao Lin suddenly heard the sound of fighting coming from the front, and along with the sound of fighting, there were also exclamations. This made Xiao Lin and others look at each other involuntarily and began to speed up. The speed of forward movement.
Soon, the five people saw three monks fighting with more than a dozen huge pythons, and next to them, there was another person lying upside down, his entire face turned pitch black, and there were also full of pythons. There were pustules on the face, some of which had burst, revealing yellow blood.
Seeing the dozens of huge pythons, Xiao Lin and others changed their colors. Each of the dozen huge pythons was seven to eight feet long, as thick as two people hugging each other. Moreover, this huge python didn't have any scales on its body. The whole body is covered with dark wrinkled skin.
Moreover, this huge python actually has two ferocious heads. One head spits out a large black flame, and the mouth of the other head spits out green venom. When more than a dozen huge pythons attack together, the momentum is extremely terrifying.
The three people below are all wearing light blue robes. They all look to be around thirty years old. Two are at the ninth level of Qi refining, and one is at the Great Perfection stage of Qi refining. However, the three of them are in a state of embarrassment at the moment. Each of them is wielding a magic weapon and working hard. He was fending off the attacks of more than a dozen giant pythons, and was surrounded by dangers. It was obvious that he wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
When the Dzogchen monk among the three in the Qi Refining Stage saw the five Xiao Lins turning out from behind the stone forest, a look of joy suddenly appeared on his face: "Fellow Taoists, these two shadow pythons have been attacking us for a long time. Please help us kill them together, otherwise once the three of us are defeated, you will not be able to pass through the Stone Forest Canyon."
Hearing this, Nangong Chen showed hesitation on his face, but Bai Shuangzhi had no expression on his face, just staring coldly at the dozen shadow pythons.
"I think we should go around from the side. There is no need to get involved." The slender monk named Wu said from the side.
"Yes, the combat power of this shadow python is comparable to that of a true-level monster. Even if we go up, there is still a risk of falling. Besides, we don't know these people, so there is no need to take this risk." The short monk surnamed He Also echoed from the side.
Hearing this, Nangong Chen showed hesitation on his face, and he couldn't help but cast his eyes on Xiao Lin and Bai Shuangzhi.
"Since we have formed a team, it is natural that Brother Nangong will follow his lead in everything, and Xiao Lin should obey." Xiao Lin naturally understood why Nangong Chen was hesitant. The three monks could tell by looking at their clothes that they were outer disciples of Dancao Mountain. If he had few If people really refuse to save themselves, once those three people get out of trouble, they will definitely become enemies in the future. They have offended the outer disciples of the five major sects before they have even joined the five major sects. This is really not a good sign.
Xiao Lin asked Nangong Chen to make up his mind, not because he really wanted to save the three people, but because these dozen shadow pythons almost occupied the path ahead. Although the stone forest canyon was several miles wide, it was still in front of a few people. , but it is very narrow. Apparently these shadow pythons are also waiting here, hunting the passing monks for food.
If the five of us want to go around, I'm afraid it depends on whether the shadow python agrees. Based on Xiao Lin's understanding of the monster's habits, if the five of us want to go around, it will probably not work.
