The accident came suddenly.
Even if Lu Zhong wanted to take action, it would be too late to rescue him.
After a burst of shrill screams, half of the monks fell into the belly of the worm, and were twisted by those sharp teeth, probably turning them into lake-shaped mince.
"Peng!"
Suddenly, a pillar of dust exploded in front of Lu Zhong.
But it was a huge insect head, exuding a second-level aura. It emerged from the sand, making a sharp and harsh insect sound, and opened its mouth to bite him.
"How brave!" Lu Zhong smiled coldly.
Take a few steps back to avoid the incoming insect head.
Immediately, a fiery red flying sword slipped out of his sleeve.
Slash forward at will.
The sandworm that rushed out was broken into two parts, and the fracture was like lava. Even though it had extremely strong vitality, it would die in a few seconds if it was corroded by the fire poison attached to the sword.
At this time, there was a sound of breaking through the air.
Without looking back, Lu Zhong jumped into the air with a slight jump, easily dodging the giant insect tail that was coming towards him. When he was floating in mid-air, he found that he was being stared at by the third-order large sandworm, which was swaying and submerged into the sand. The ground, however, did not retreat. In Tianluo Mitong's field of vision, the big sandworm had already arrived under him.
No matter what it wants to do, Lu Zhong will not make it happen.
Raise your hand, it's a thunder gun.
The thunder gun sank into the ground, and suddenly there was a loud roar of thunder, and the sand within ten feet was thrown into the air, and a large number of thunder snakes broke out.
The big sandworm screamed in fear and swayed again, trying to retreat deeper into the ground.
Seeing this scene in mid-air, Lu Zhong didn't know the meaning of beating a drowned dog, so he directly used the human-faced dragon flag. When he fought with Yin Qiao yesterday, the "fire-eating magical power" of this flag was fully charged, which was just right for him. It must be enough to deal with such a large monster.
He raised his hand and offered a human-faced dragon flag.
In the shocked eyes of the surviving monks, the flag rose in the wind and soon turned into a giant dragon shadow. The head first tilted back and then spat downwards.
Accompanied by the extension of a burning line of fire.
The pillar of fire fell from the sky and accurately hit the big sandworm that wanted to shrink into the ground.
"Ouch!"
The big sandworm wailed like a piece of silk, and kept spraying out green juice from its body, as if it wanted to extinguish the flames, but the sound soon weakened, and by the time the flames completely dissipated, it was like a charred corpse. The insect corpses exuded a fishy meaty smell.
"It's really weak..."
Lu Zhong landed next to the huge corpse, his eyes wandered up and down, his face suddenly showed joy, and he dug out a steaming inner elixir from the corpse.
"The third-level insect pill was not in vain."
As for insect meat.
He thought about it and decided to forget it.
It doesn't matter if you don't know. Now that you've seen it swallow a person with your own eyes, the corpse in its belly may not even be digested. If you eat such insect meat again, no matter how delicious it tastes, it will be hard to swallow.
But some materials can be collected.
After a while, Lu Zhong picked up seven or eight.
Just as he was about to leave, a voice suddenly stopped him. It was a gray-faced young man whose cultivation was only at the sixth level of Qi Refining. He was pitifully weak.
"Senior, wait... you left behind the most important thing!"
Hearing this, Lu Zhong stopped.
Seeing the senior look at him after hearing the news, the young man immediately bowed and said: "Senior, you don't know something. The most valuable item on this big sandworm is not its third-level insect pill, nor is it the strip on its back. Muscles, but... it’s the insect sacs on its tail!”
"Oh?" Lu Zhong became interested and asked, "Tell me about it."
"Yes, senior!" The young man saluted again, and then began to explain: "Junior would venture to guess that the goal of senior this time must be to hunt this dragon, right? Please forgive me for speaking bluntly, if this insect sac does not lead to the crystal rock Jiao, senior, you most likely made this trip in vain."
After some understanding, Lu Zhong knew it.
The level of cunning of the crystal rock dragon was even higher than he had expected.
It is not that no one has found this dragon before, but they all failed, but it is because the crystal rock dragon has the ability to "seek good luck and avoid evil", and even awakened this magical power.
Therefore, monks who have the strength to hunt this dragon often miss it.
"There is such an inside story..." Lu Zhong thought to himself.
It is estimated that without this young man's warning, he would really have made the trip in vain.
Even using the gray fog space will not help.
After all, crystal rock dragons have the ability to seek good fortune and avoid evil.
"The insect cyst is extremely tempting to the crystal rock dragon, and can make it devour it regardless of the danger to its life. My father guessed that he paid attention to its promotion, otherwise he cannot explain the abnormal behavior of this dragon." The young man said this and looked towards The real person in front of me is too young to be true.
There was a look of hesitation on his face.
When Lu Zhong saw it, he guessed what he was talking about and said with a smile: "If you have something to say, it doesn't hurt to say it."
"To be honest, senior, this junior is Fang Yu, the young master of the Fang family in Heishazhou. This time he went out to hunt insects, and most of his uncles died. If there is no more input subsidies, the Fang family will definitely fall into decline from now on." The young man said, He took out a token from his body with the seal of the Tiandao Sect on it, which could prove his identity.
Lu Zhong took a look and found that there was no difference.
"so?"
"So junior, please be brave and ask senior to allow me and the other six to follow you!" Fang Yu knelt on the ground and said. Hearing this, other monks in the distance also knelt down one after another. He then said, "Senior must have heard of the term 'White Immortal Crystal' before." As long as you can bring this junior to the crystal rock dragon's lair, the junior and others can work together to cast spells and condense this kind of spiritual material from the crystal pillars all over the crystal rock dragon's lair!"
White Immortal Crystal?
Lu Zhong recalled it carefully and found that he seemed to have never heard of it.
Suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred.
"Is it the Earth Spirit Crystal?"
He remembered that it was mentioned in the classics that there was a spiritual object produced in the crystal rock dragon, called "Earth Spirit Crystal". It was rare and hard to find and could only be obtained by chance. Magic weapons that prohibit multiples can also have significant effects.
The more I think about it, the more likely it is.
He glanced at Fang Yu calmly. The latter looked anxious and uneasy, which was in line with the behavior of a monk in the Qi refining period when facing the Jindan master.
I don't think there is any lie.
"This Fang Yu is really courageous, and he is not afraid that I will kill them to silence them later..." Lu Zhong thought of this and already made a decision in his heart. The initiative was in his hands. It was expected that these six Qi Refining monks would also turn around. If there is no big wave, there is a huge difference between risks and returns. Is there any reason not to give it a try?
After discussing the distribution of benefits.
Lu Zhong agreed.
The cyst of the big sandworm is waiting to be taken.
He swept the six people with him with a sweep of his sleeves, and then turned into a rainbow light and soared into the sky.
…
Death sand sea.
This place is located to the north of the True Spirit Realm and to the west of the Heavenly Sword Realm. It is a vast and huge desert. It has been in this state since ancient times, so it is often regarded as a forbidden land for living beings by outsiders.
But in fact, there are many living things in the sand sea.
Sandworm is one of them.
At this moment, Lu Zhong had landed on a sand dune and waved his sleeves to release the six members of the Fang family. He then began to determine his current location.
Since there are no indicators in the sand sea, even the sand dunes are constantly moving. Therefore, conventional positioning methods are difficult to use here. Fortunately, there are still stars in the sky.
He turned to the stars in the sky and began to observe the stars to determine his direction.
Some calculations.
"It seems like this is it." Lu Zhongmo said.
Immediately he sat cross-legged on the ground, and without caring about the people of the Fang family, he took a Qi-restoring elixir and began to restore his mana and adjust his Qi state in order to prepare for the battle later.
On the other side, the six members of the Fang family were also sensible.
They walked away first, and then gathered together to eat the dried meat in silence.
Since the crystal rock dragon's lair is deep underground, the six of them need to wait for Lu Zhong to deal with the crystal rock dragon before they can start extracting the earth spirit crystal. Before that, the few people just needed to hide quietly and not cause any trouble.
In the sand sea at night, dripping water turns into ice.
However, to the monks, this is nothing.
After Lu Zhong recovered his mana and saw that there was still some time before dawn, he began to relive the scene, hoping to find the area where the crystal rock dragon was active so that he could quickly attract it with the insect cyst. Otherwise, searching using conventional methods will take more than one or two days.
Soon, he made a discovery.
After searching all the way, I even found the crystal rock dragon.
But as Fang Yu said before, this dragon does have the ability to "seek good luck and avoid evil." As soon as it saw Lu Zhong approaching, it cautiously dived into the sea of sand, not even giving it a chance to fight.
Tracking and finding its nest is naturally out of the question.
"It seems that we can only place hope on the insect cyst." Lu Zhong thought.
Returning to the sand dune, he informed a few people of his discovery and asked them to find a place to hide in advance to avoid being affected in the subsequent battle.
You know, although the battle between Jiedan is not as devastating as Yuanying, it is still easy to level a city. If you don't avoid the fighting range in advance, the end result will probably be death.
Several people nodded after hearing this.
…
The sky is getting slightly brighter.
Lu Zhong took out the insect cyst, cut it open according to the method given by Fang Yu, and mixed it with the spirit stone powder. The combination of the two immediately produced a strange aroma, which smelled like orchid and musk, but with a hint of fishy sweetness. , I don’t know why the crystal rock dragon likes this thing.
No time to think too much.
The crystal rock dragon has arrived!
As the sand dunes surged, a slender white dragon with transparent crystals all over its body rushed out of the sand sea. It was only more than thirty feet long, and was slightly inferior to the poisonous dragon.
However, his strength is still higher than that of a water dragon.
Lu Zhong's expression condensed and he did not dare to be careless at all.
Seeing the crystal rock dragon overflowing, light began to flash from its mouth. Guessing what it was about to spit out, he waved his hand to summon four dragon spirit flags, and then waved his hand to reveal a thunder gun.
But the next moment, the crystal rock dragon opened its huge mouth.
In an instant, a massive amount of crystallized spears spewed out from its mouth, and they were as dense as raindrops, shooting toward Lu Zhong like a pour.
Rest, rest, rest!
The sound of breaking through the air continued.
The thunder gun was hit by the dense crystal gun and turned into a thunder ball in mid-air.
Then the crystal rock dragon's head turned, and the crystallization gun continued to shoot, the sound was several times louder than before, and the number of crystallization guns spurted from the mouth increased sharply, with the intention of shooting Lu Zhong into a sieve.
The crystallized gun is so powerful that it will explode when it falls on the sand, splashing up sand pillars tens of feet high.
Seeing this scene, Lu Zhong was secretly frightened.
He did not expect that as soon as the crystal rock dragon came up, it would seem to have an sworn hatred against him and use such a lethal method.
Fortunately, Lu Zhong is not afraid!
He used Tianluo Mi Tong to make a series of evasive moves.
Coupled with the assistance of the Jiaoling Banner, the intention of calling the Crystal Rock Jiao completely failed.
Not to mention being injured, not even the corners of his clothes were touched.
"It's my turn!" Lu Zhong shouted lowly and used all kinds of methods.
Magic weapons, spiritual sword techniques, and thunder techniques.
The same thing counts.
One person and one dragon fought fiercely, and every time the aftermath of the attack hit the ground, it would make the ground tremble. The power made the six members of the Fang family who were ten miles away feel frightened.
At this moment, a crystallized gun shot.
Several people saw this and quickly evaded, so they were not hit directly.
When the smoke and dust dissipated, it was discovered that there was a deep pit of about ten feet in place. Everyone suddenly had a new understanding of the strength of the Danjie stage.
On the other side, Lu Zhong activated the Jiao Ling Flag, withstood the dense barrage, formed a messy trajectory in the air, and forcibly rushed in front of the Crystal Rock Jiao.
After some testing and fighting, he discovered that while this dragon was good at spells, it was not good at close combat. This was obviously an opportunity. Instead of continuing to fight with the crystal rock dragon, it is better to use your melee advantage to quickly solve it.
A lightning strike that had been brewing for a long time came out.
At the moment when the crystal rock dragon dodged, Lu Zhong mobilized all his magic power, poured it all into the Red Crow Sword, and slashed at it with a red sword.
Puff.
The scales of the crystal rock dragon are more fragile than imagined.
This sword directly cut through nearly half of the dragon's body. The blood, which contained strong demonic aura, boiled and poured out like a flame. Lu Zhong was covered with a bang, and if it wasn't blocked by the body-protecting aura, I'm afraid that my skin will also be corroded until it becomes red and hot.
Immediately afterwards, he took a claw attack.
Lu Zhong resisted the surge of blood and gave Jingyan Jiao a few more swords one after another.
Outstanding effect!
The crystal rock dragon was seriously injured and could no longer fly into the air. It struggled and twisted in the air for a while, and its huge body finally hit the ground, shaking the sandy ground.
When you see it swaying its head and tail, it will burrow underground.
How could Lu Zhong get what he wanted?
Another fierce attack followed.
finally.
The dragon could no longer hold up, and its huge head was unable to hang down. It struggled several times to get into the ground. As a result, it was too injured due to excessive blood loss and could not even perform these movements. In the end, it lay down in the sand pit, only to pass. After three or two breaths, there was no movement at all.
"call!"
Lu Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the crystal rock dragon that was still twitching, he cautiously tested it. After confirming that it was really dead, he used the Red Crow Sword to get its pill and soul.
Seal carefully and put away.
At this time, the Fang family finally flew over.
Lu Zhong slowly turned around and turned his attention to several people.
"I wish you success in killing the dragon!" Several people congratulated.
"Yes." Lu Zhong responded and then said: "Since the crystal rock dragon has been eliminated, according to the previous agreement, should you abide by the agreement and condense spiritual materials for me... As for the location of the crystal rock dragon's lair, as I expected That's right, it should be twenty miles away from here, at three quarters of the Yin hour."
What he said was based on the movement trajectory of the basic crystal rock dragon.
Roughly equivalent to the center point position.
When the crystal rock dragon appeared just now, it came from the direction of Yinshi Sanji.
