After thinking about the reason, Li Qingfeng decided to drill through the hole and find out.
As for the trick he had just suffered, Li Qingfeng didn't care much - there were just a few possibilities, the most likely one was some kind of soul attack from the living monster, and he himself was just affected by the stone slab. Only under the influence can you fall into the trap unknowingly. However, the soul attack that allows him to break free by instinct is probably not very powerful, and the strength of the monster beast that launches this soul attack can also be seen.
As for why he couldn't feel the presence of monsters, Li Qingfeng thought it was probably due to the influence of the stone slab. And that monster or something has been here for such a long time, and it is entirely possible to learn how to use stone slabs.
Li Qingfeng landed on the ground and walked slowly towards the entrance of the cave.
The first half of this cave is a pool, and the back half is a wet stone cave. The stone slab is buried deep in the rocks, hanging diagonally from top to bottom like a huge stone wall, almost blocking the entire cave, leaving only a cave about half a person high in the lower right corner that can be passed through.
Li Qingfeng walked to the stone cave, and the warning signs in his heart gradually became stronger, but it only made him hesitate for a moment. If you don't advance in the journey of cultivating immortality, you will retreat. Not to mention the possible threats in the future. He has important treasures in front of him. He also has the means to save his life. If he didn't even dare to go in and take a look, he would have been in vain as a pill-forming monk in his previous life.
Without stopping, Li Qingfeng held the edge of the cave with one hand, bent down and crawled through.
The moment he got through, there was a warning sign in his heart, and a strong and extremely strong demonic energy mixed with pure spiritual energy surged toward him, irritating him so much that he couldn't help but cough a few times.
Li Qing raised his head and saw something moving in the darkness. Purple light flashed in Li Qing's eyes, and he saw a pair of dark yellow vertical pupils larger than an adult's hand opened, staring straight at him.
In those eyes, Li Qingfeng saw violence, anger, vigilance, but most of all, a kind of desire.
Li Qingfeng has seen this look, it is the desire of a hungry person when he sees delicious food.
It was a giant python, entrenched in this cave like a hill.
Without a moment's hesitation, Li Qingfeng's face tightened, his eyebrows raised, his slightly long eyes widened with purple light, and his consciousness comparable to that of a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage spurted out and swept straight towards the giant python.
This is the first time since his rebirth that he has fully mobilized his spiritual consciousness. Without him, the aura emanating from this giant python has reached the stage of refining Qi and entering the blood, which is equivalent to the foundation-building stage of human beings.
In ancient times, human monks divided the level of cultivation into five stages according to their own methods of cultivating immortals: Qi training, foundation building, elixir formation, Yuanying, and Shen transformation. The meaning of Dan, broken Dan becomes a baby and broken baby transforms into a god. The history of the demon clan is much longer than that of humans, so they naturally have their own way of dividing realms. They are divided into five stages: bone forging, blood refining, spirit opening, shape casting and spirit transformation. The meanings are: external forging of bones and muscles, internal refining of demon blood, beginning of spiritual wisdom, casting of infants to form and breaking of infants to form gods, which are in harmony with human beings. The realms correspond one to one.
Among them, only the name and meaning of the last stage are the same as those of human beings. The reason is for no other reason than that the path to immortality is different but leads to the same destination. At this stage, whether human or demon, their purpose is no longer in the mortal world, but to transform into gods and ascend to the same level as heaven and earth.
After the monsters have been trained to the spirit-opening stage and their spiritual wisdom has begun to develop, they can be called monsters. The demons can transform into human form during the casting stage. Therefore, in the world of immortal cultivation, the demons who have cultivated to the casting stage are collectively called the transformed demons, also known as demon cultivators.
Since the cultivation systems of humans and monsters are different, in the world of immortal cultivation, many human monks still regard monsters as beasts that drink blood from their flesh and blood. Therefore, they only use first-order, second-order, third-order and fourth-order to refer to monsters in different realms.
What Li Qingfeng didn't expect was that the monsters entrenched here had reached the blood refining stage.
Facing Li Qingfeng's spiritual attack, the giant python shrank its dark yellow vertical pupils, raised its head and let out a hiss. The huge fleshy crown on top of its head shook slightly, and it sprayed out a stream of light blue mist, protecting it around it. It looked at Li Qingfeng again, and its tongue, which was as thick as an adult's hand, swallowed and spit out, turning into an ice blade and attacking Li Qingfeng.
Li Qingfeng moved his body to the right, but the speed of the ice blade was too fast. He had no time to avoid it, so he had to use the water shield, and the spiritual power poured in crazily. The water elemental shield shook in the air, and the water light on it flourished. The next moment, it collided directly with the ice blade spit out by the giant python, making a harsh squeaking sound. After a moment, the ice blade broke open, and a dark blue icy air emerged, filling Li Qingfeng's left arm along the water element shield.
The whole person took a few steps back. Li Qingfeng's back hit the stone wall. His entire left arm, including the water shield, was covered with a layer of ice crystals. Some blood flowed from his palm, but it was frozen instantly.
As if it smelled a little bit of blood when Li Qingfeng was injured, the giant python with the strange crown flashed a fierce light in its eyes. Li Qingfeng's face turned pale, and he increased the intensity without hesitation, and his spiritual consciousness poured out through Ziyun's Demonic Eyes. His eyes were bloodshot, and the bottom of his nose was slightly moist. When he reached out and touched it, it was scarlet and dazzling.
His body could hardly withstand this level of spiritual consciousness.
The strange-crowned python's soul was stabbed by him, and a trace of vigilance and fear appeared in its dark yellow vertical pupils. It twisted its head around its body in a defensive posture, but revealed something on its back.
Li Qingfeng stared at the giant python, and threw a few pills into his mouth without any delay, but his eyes were a bit surprised. Although the ice blade released by the giant python hurt him just now, it didn't contain much ice-cold energy. Even though his left arm was almost completely frozen, it was just the surface, and the inside was not disturbed much by the cold air.
This level is not like the attack of a demonic beast in the blood refining stage.
At this moment, the giant python moved, and Li Qingfeng's eyes were attracted by its movements. He felt that the giant python's movements were frighteningly slow. It didn't look like a powerful and fierce monster in the blood refining stage. Instead, it looked... unusually weak?
Looking down the python's head, Li Qingfeng's eyes flashed and he saw...a sword hilt?
The hilt of the sword was inserted into the back of the giant python, completely submerged.
There was a hint of understanding in Li Qingfeng's eyes. It seemed that his previous speculation was correct.
There was once a monk who fought with the giant python here. Although he was unfortunately defeated and died, he still caused great harm to the giant python, and even pierced the body of the giant python with his own sword. Li Qingfeng guessed that it was the sword that prevented the giant python from recovering from its injuries until today, which was why it was so weak.
Looking at it this way, maybe this is not the place where they fought each other. And it is very likely that the giant python found a healing place based on the instinct of the monster.
Where there are monster beasts' lairs, there is a high probability that there are spiritual veins. After all, monsters also need spiritual energy to practice and heal their wounds. Based on the concentration of spiritual energy here, Li Qingfeng judged that there must be spiritual veins here, and at least second-level spiritual veins!
