It was obvious to all of them that Xia Shiqing was proficient in medical skills. In this situation, she was the only one they could think of.
Ling Ning sent Xia Shiqing the news that the little girl was safe and asked for her opinion. After a while, Xia Shiqing wrote back and said that although the situation sounded very pessimistic, she was willing to give it a try and would arrive within two or three days.
The three of them discussed it and decided to wait until Xia Shiqing arrived. Now they would go back to Ping An Village before making plans.
This time the three of them put on cloaks, pretended to be businessmen, and went back to the village to investigate in a low-key manner. They came to the most crowded market and wandered around the market. Since many nearby fishing villages were destroyed, many merchants went to Ping An Village to make purchases. This made the market more lively than before, and the fishermen were working hard. The merchants were busy bargaining with each other while shouting about the freshly caught aquatic products.
The three of them walked around for a while, and Qian Meier suddenly pointed to the front and said, "Look, it's that mother-in-law!"
Lingxi said: "Huh, is this the monster? I really want to rush up and kill her right now!
Ling Ning said: "We might as well go over and have a look."
When I came closer, I saw the old woman selling a basket of fresh fish. Although these fish had been out of the water for a while, they looked very fresh, not inferior to those just caught, but the price marked was higher than other fish. It was much higher, and many merchants stopped in front of her to try to bargain, but she just shook her head.
Qian Meier said: "Mother-in-law, can you make this fish cheaper?"
The mother-in-law shook her head.
Lingxi said: "Your fish seems to be no different except that it is fresher. Why is it so expensive?"
The mother-in-law still shook her head.
Ling Ning saw that her expression was dull, as if she was wearing a mask on her face, with no expression at all. It seemed that nothing in the world could shock her slightly.
He suddenly noticed that Wang Laosan, the drunkard that day, was also selling fish, and he immediately called out to the two women: "Don't worry about this mother-in-law for now. Before Shi Qing comes, we'd better not alert the snake and come with me."
He took the two girls to Wang Laosan's stall, and Wang Laosan was shouting loudly at this moment.
"Brother, do you still remember me?" Ling Ning took off his cloak and asked.
Wang Laosan stared at him in confusion, obviously forgetting what happened that night.
Ling Ning leaned forward and whispered: "I want all your fish, but you only need to tell me about Li Er, how about that?"
Wang Laosan's expression changed, he shook his head and said, "I don't know what you are talking about."
Ling Ning said: "Are you hiding something?"
But Wang Laosan just shook his head, "If you don't want to buy it, don't disturb my business and go away!"
Ling Ning was still about to speak, but suddenly she heard Ergou from the village shouting: "Hurry...someone, hurry up! There are corpses floating on the beach! So...many! Come on, hurry up!"
Seeing that Wang Laosan and the mother-in-law made no progress, the three of them had no choice but to follow the crowd of spectators and walk towards the beach.
Many villagers had gathered around the beach, but they all stayed away and looked away. There were seven or eight corpses floating on the sea, and three or four of them had washed up on the beach. The degree of damage to these corpses was quite high, and most of them were "shattered" and "bloody and bloody." They were obviously torn into pieces by monster beasts, which also showed the ferocity of the monster beasts.
Lingxi sent a message to the two of them: "Many of these people followed Huo Jingyu to hunt monsters. Unexpectedly, they all died tragically."
Qian Meier said: "It seems that their trip is not going well. I hope they can escape."
At this time, Ergou hurried over again, shouting as he ran: "The village chief asked if there are any monks! Huo Daxia and the others need help! Is there any monk who knows medical skills?"
The three of them quickly stopped Ergou. Ergou couldn't explain clearly after talking for a long time, so he could only drag the three of them towards the inn in the village.
When they arrived at the inn, they discovered that it was Huo Jingyu and the other three who had escaped. The situation was not optimistic.
Wen Hao had a broken arm, and his face was ugly. The wound was hastily bandaged with clothes and was still oozing blood. Wen Xi looked sluggish, and there was no time to bandage the many wounds on her body. She looked at the unconscious Huo Jingyu anxiously.
Huo Jingyu's face was pale, and he was lying on the bed shaking all over. He kept mumbling to himself, but he couldn't hear clearly what he was saying.
Wen Hao was overjoyed when he saw the three people here. He quickly stood up to greet him but almost fell down, "Three fellow Taoists! I didn't expect you are here too! It's great! Junior Brother Jing Yu urgently needs someone to help him with his kung fu, please...please... Bit...cough cough cough!"
Before he could finish his sentence, he coughed violently and almost fell down. Fortunately, Wen Xi held him up.
Qian and Ling helped the brother and sister aside and bandaged their wounds to stop the bleeding and heal them.
Ling Ning used his pupil technique to observe Huo Jingyu's body and found that the real energy in his body was almost dry. No wonder he was unconscious! If it had been half an hour later, I might have died!
He held the opponent's chest and slowly injected his true energy. The true energy in his body was like the Yangtze River, easily filling the "small pool" in Huo Jingyu's body. Huo Jingyu's true energy was replenished, and he calmed down and fell into a deep sleep.
The brother and sister Wen Hao and Wen Xi on the side took some more pills with the help of the two women, and their faces finally became less ugly. After all, Wenxi was still a girl, and she could no longer hold on and fell into a deep sleep. Wen Hao was still trying to support her.
Wen Hao said: "Thank you so much! Junior Brother Jing Yu... he... is he okay?"
Ling Ning said: "It's nothing. He just consumed a lot of energy. I injected some real energy into him and he should be fine."
Wen Hao said: "Thank you very much!"
Lingxi said: "What happened to you? Why are you in such a mess? Are only the three of you left alive?"
Wen Hao sighed: "A group of us touched the location of the monster and were quietly setting up formations to kill it... Unexpectedly, we were noticed by the monster. We were killed in a miserable state. There were only three of us. Barely escaped back..."
Lingxi asked doubtfully: "Don't you have immortal weapons?"
Wen Hao said with difficulty: "That immortal weapon requires a lot of true energy to control. We originally had enough numbers, but those casual cultivators actually got into a mess when they faced the enemy... and the formation of gathering spiritual energy was too late to be completed, so we were defeated by that The monster was killed by surprise! Even...hey!"
Lingxi said: "What? Brother Hao, why are you hesitating? Is there something that you can't say clearly?"
Wen Hao's face changed several times, but he finally said: "Hey! The immortal weapon was lost by us! It was left on that mountain! I...I think this is a violation of the sect rules, and I can only die to apologize!"
Ling Ning said: "You can go back and get it after you are healed. Brother Wen, don't worry."
Wen Hao said anxiously: "No! That immortal weapon was just recast and has not been refined yet. If it is found by other monks, it will be a failure! We can only apologize with death!"
Qian Meier said: "Why do you have to worry? Not everyone can refine immortal weapons easily, right?"
Immortal tools of this level often have their own intelligence and the ability to protect themselves. Not just anyone can refine them. To be its master, one must have strength.
Wen Hao shook his head and said dejectedly: "To be honest, this fairy weapon was given to it by the elder of Junior Brother Jing Yu. It is a 'first-order fairy weapon' that has just had its spiritual intelligence wiped out. It is not yet complete." The casting is completed. The Valley Master heard that there is a very rare ancient monster living near the mortal continent, so he sent us to hunt and kill it in order to complete the final 'casting soul' of the immortal weapon. This is also the test that the Valley Master has given us! Now the immortal beast is The weapon is like a newborn 'baby', which can be easily refined by anyone. Once the immortal weapon is refined, not only will its grade drop significantly, but in all likelihood, it will never be found again. I'll wait... …Hey…I won’t be able to see the Valley Master again!”
Qianmeier sighed: "I really don't understand why you dare to challenge such a ferocious beast without being fully prepared."
Wen Hao said: "We were too impatient... We misjudged the ore before and lost a piece of 'marrow'. Junior Brother Jing Yu was eager to make up for it... and we were fully prepared this time. The formation was almost It was about to be completed, but who knew it started to rain heavily! A few casual cultivators foolishly ran to a cave to take shelter from the rain, not knowing that it was where the monsters lived... The next thing you know, we were killed and caught off guard. If we hadn't used all the true energy in our bodies to forcefully use part of the power of the immortal weapon, I'm afraid the three of us wouldn't have been able to escape."
Ling Ning said: "With the current situation of the three of you, it is impossible to go back to get the immortal weapon. It is better to take good care of yourself and wait until the injury is healed before going back."
Wen Hao said: "It has always been the case in the Sword Forging Valley that where the sword is, the person is there, and if the sword dies, the person dies! I boldly implore the three of you to help us get back the fairy weapon from the habitat of the monster! The three of us are very grateful!"
Qian Meier said: "This will cost our lives. We don't have the guts to challenge that fifth-level monster."
Lingxi, a businessman at heart, "smells" a business opportunity, "If I help you get it back, what reward can you give me?"
Wen Hao smiled bitterly and said: "It would be easier if it were anyone else, but as the deputy master of Lingbao Pavilion, Miss, what treasures have you not seen? I'm afraid I can't afford the price, and besides, we haven't repaid you for your life-saving kindness yet... "
Lingxi snorted and said, "That's true. You can't use fairy weapons as rewards, right?"
Wen Hao said: "Of course it can't be done. Hey, forget it, we can only leave it to fate."
Ling Ning suddenly said: "How about I find it for you?"
Wen Hao's eyes lit up, "Fellow Taoist, are you serious?"
Ling Ning said: "This is natural. You can't trust me, can you?"
Wen Hao shook his head, "Of course not. Even if this fairy weapon is taken away by Your Excellency, it is better than being lost for no reason... If the elders in the valley ask about it in the future, we will have an answer."
What he meant by this was to imply that if Ling Ning took it for himself, he would definitely ask the elders in the valley to come forward to get it back. It would be better to know the whereabouts of the immortal artifact than to lose it for no reason.
Ling Ning naturally understood what he meant, and he had no intention of keeping it for himself. He just wanted to sell a favor to Sword Forging Valley. After all, the piece of "marrow" in his hand might really need them to be smelted.
"So I'll take a trip."
Wen Hao was overjoyed when he heard what he said, "What kind of reward do you want, my friend? We still have more than two million spiritual stones, and we can give them to you!"
Qian Meier said anxiously: "Xiao Ning, you are crazy! That is a fifth-level monster. Aren't you kidding with your own life?"
Ling Ning said: "Don't worry, Mei'er. I'll come back as soon as I go. You should know what I'm capable of."
Qian Meier said: "No, I want to go with you no matter what!"
Ling Ning shook his head and said, "I'd better go alone. There are so many people that it will inevitably attract the attention of monsters. Mei'er, believe me, nothing will happen!"
After his persuasion, Qian Meier gave up the idea of going together. Although Lingxi was worried about him, she couldn't help him and could only wish him good luck.
Wen Hao said: "I finally tried my best to launch the fairy weapon and hit the monster, and then I escaped with my life. I think the fairy weapon should still be in the largest cave in Beihao Mountain. I have a spiritual talisman here that can conceal the aura. I also ask fellow Taoist to bring it with me, but unfortunately this is the only one left, the effect can last for an hour... There are also two million spirit stones here, please take them with me, fellow Taoist..."
Ling Ning said: "I will accept the spiritual talisman, but not the spiritual stone. You only need to promise me one thing, and I will naturally bring the immortal weapon back to you."
"What's the matter?"
"Brother, please swear with your Taoist heart. If I can find the immortal weapon, brother will owe me a favor. If I need it in the future, please help me with all my strength."
Wen Hao thought for a while and said, "Okay, but you can only have one chance, and you can't violate the sect rules."
Ling Ning said happily: "Of course."
Wen Hao raised his remaining right arm and swore: "I swear with my Taoist heart, if this...Ling..."
"Ling Ning."
"... This fellow Taoist Lingning can retrieve our lost immortal weapon and hand it over to me. If fellow Taoist Lingning has any needs in the future, I am willing to do my best to help if it does not violate the sect rules! If If you regret it, you will be punished by heaven and earth!"
…
The sky was already dark, Ling Ning sneaked into Beihao Mountain quietly. Wen Hao's magic talisman really worked. He only felt that his breath gradually blended with the surrounding environment. Unfortunately, the effect only lasted for an hour. He could only find the magic talisman as soon as possible. Traces of the immortal weapon.
Before coming, he had extracted the spiritual energy of the immortal weapon from Huo Jingyu and used "Eye Technique·Butterfly Transformation" to track him. The white butterfly flew into a large cave. There were obvious signs of a fight outside the cave. There were still large amounts of blood, burn marks and even broken limbs on the ground... Ling Ning frowned and used the "Ghost Step" to tighten. Follow Hua Die and sneak into the cave.
The entrance of the cave is dozens of feet high, and the inside is even wider. There are dots of light in the darkness, which are the lights of some fluorescent creatures. Although he had the blessing of the pupil technique, under the influence of so many light spots, his vision was somewhat confused. He could only try to see his feet clearly and follow Hua Die to explore carefully.
After walking about a hundred meters, a fishy wind blew, and the rotten smell made people sick. Then a large number of withered bones, rotten flesh and broken weapons appeared on the ground. It was obvious that there was a nest of monsters further ahead. He bit the bullet and walked another hundred meters, when suddenly there was a heart-rending scream and the roar of a monster in the sky!
"Ah! Don't come here! No! Ah!"
"Roar!"
Ling Ning was startled, and followed the sound to a corner. He poked his head out and saw a huge monster in the darkness, with its big claws like a tiger holding down a man. The man was in agony. His head was about to fall off in one bite!
The aura of this giant beast is that of the fifth-level monster!
The big guy in front of me is similar to what the villagers described. He is about six to seven meters tall and three to four meters wide. If the wings are fully opened, it should be six or seven meters. It has a chicken head and a sharp beak, a beak like a long hook, tiger-like sharp claws and tough-as-iron feathers covering its whole body, exuding violent spiritual power that is terrifying.
There are probably as many as a thousand corpses piled up in the lair, and most of them have turned into withered bones. Judging from their clothes, they are all fishermen captured by the monsters from the coastal villages.
The butterfly flew slowly towards the monster, lingering around it. Fortunately, the monster's back was turned to him and it was enjoying its "big meal" so it didn't attract attention. Ling Ning was wondering why the butterfly was surrounding the demonic beast, when she suddenly noticed a glimmer of light at the back of the demonic beast's neck. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the light emitted by the gem on the sword's hilt!
Ling Ning suddenly realized that the fairy weapon had been thrown by them and inserted into the back of the monster's neck, and was hidden by the thick feathers. But if you want to get the fairy weapon, you have to get close to the monster, and drawing the sword will definitely cause a strong reaction from the monster!
Ling Ning felt entangled in her heart, wondering whether she should leave first. But seeing the ferocious look of the monster also aroused the blood in his heart, "What does a fifth-level monster mean? With my current strength, I may not lose to it! Besides, I quietly touched it from the back and pulled it out. If I grab the sword and run away, I can't defeat it, so why can't I escape from it?"
As the saying goes, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Ling Ning had never seen the strength of monsters, so naturally he was not afraid. He made up his mind and quietly touched the back of the monster. Then he looked at the hilt of the sword, jumped on the monster's back, and pulled out the sword with both hands!
"Ouch!"
The monster roared and its body began to shake violently!
Ling Ning gritted her teeth and kicked the monster's back with both legs, but the sword was stuck in the bone and couldn't be pulled out!
The monster was in pain and began to struggle desperately. Its huge body kept bumping into the cave, trying to throw Ling Ning off its back. Ling Ning grabbed the hilt of the sword tightly. He knew that if he fell down at this time, he would be trampled into mud by the monster immediately!
Under the constant impact of the monster beast, the stalactites in the cave began to fall, falling on the monster's huge body, making the monster even more angry. After a long roar, the monster began to run wildly! The violent jolt caused Ling Ning to grab the hilt of the sword with all her strength to prevent herself from falling. She had no time to care about anything else.
I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly there was a violent impact, followed by a loud roar in my ears, and the monster actually rose into the sky!
"Ouch!"
Ling Ning grabbed the hilt of the sword tightly, blood couldn't help flowing from the monster's wound, and the monster became even more violent! At one moment it went straight up to nine thousand meters into the sky, at another it dived a hundred meters under the water with a "bang", and then rushed out of the sea and slid on the water. The speed was so fast that the splashing water stung Ling Ning's skin like steel needles! He couldn't even open his eyes!
The strong air flow and the resistance brought by the sea water alternated with each other, making Ling Ning suffer a lot, but he gritted his teeth and refused to let go!
The monster roared suddenly and flew him towards Ping'an Village, as if it wanted to vent its anger in the village.
Qian and Ling were worried about Ling Ning when suddenly a monster roared loudly outside. They were both startled and quickly went out to investigate!
I saw a huge shadow appearing in the sky above Ping An Village. It was spinning desperately in the air, as if it wanted to throw something down!
The villagers also heard the unusual noise and hurried out to watch the excitement. When they saw the huge shadow in the thick fog, they knelt down and kowtowed, shouting for help from the Goddess of the Sea!
Qianmei'er's eyes were sharp and she exclaimed: "Oh my God! Xiao Ning! It's Xiao Ning behind that monster!"
Lingxi looked carefully and saw that the figure was Ling Ning, "Yes, it's really Mr. Ling! What...what should we do!"
Before they could think of a solution, the monster opened its mouth and a huge fireball roared towards Ping An Village!
Qian and Ling quickly worked together to use the water attribute magic!
"Water Gathering·Water Polo Technique!"
"boom!"
The water ball and the fire ball collided and exploded instantly, and the hot water splash fell like rain!
But the demonic beast was overwhelmed with rage. It roared again, and then spewed out five fireballs in one breath! These five fireballs are powerful enough to burn half a village to the ground!
Qian and Ling were not proficient in water-based spells, so they could only perform hand seals and resist with the "water ball technique". However, they could only deal with three fireballs. They saw that the last two would fall on the villagers' houses no matter what. On the way, the two women could only shout loudly to ask the villagers to leave!
But at the critical moment, the village chief Li Youfu raised his arms and shouted: "Don't move! Follow me and kneel down and kowtow! The Goddess of the Sea will save our village!"
Both women were dumbfounded, secretly thinking that the village chief was really out of his mind!
Just when the last two big fireballs were about to hit the house, "Bang! Bang!" Two water cannonballs suddenly flew over, knocking the two fireballs into the sea!
The next moment, a huge figure nearly ten meters high and six or seven meters wide appeared in the air. This thing had a fish body and bird wings, and sounded like a mandarin duck! There is actually a small golden horn on the forehead!
"Ouch!"
As if it had seen an enemy, the monster rushed towards the strange fish with a fish body and bird wings! The bodies of the two giant beasts suddenly collided together!
"boom!"
After the loud noise, the two ferocious beasts retreated regardless of their top or bottom!
At this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds, there was lightning and thunder, and heavy rain poured down!
"Empress of Poseidon!"
"The Poseidon is so powerful!"
"Long live the Poseidon Queen!"
The shouts of the villagers, accompanied by rolling thunder, seemed to cheer for this battle!
The two giant beasts began to collide for the second time!
"boom!"
They retreated indiscriminately again!
Qian and Ling let the rain fall on their faces. They both looked at the sky nervously, worried about Ling Ning!
And after Ling Ning was hit by the monster twice, she found that the hilt of the sword finally loosened up!
He roared angrily and poured real energy into the sword like crazy! The fairy weapon emits a dazzling light and then the sword light reaches the sky!
"Aaahhhh!"
The monster screamed and blood spurted out from the back of its neck!
And the strange fish also saw the opportunity and crashed into the monster again!
"boom!"
"Ouch!"
The monster beast let out a shrill scream, and then fell into the sea with a "bang", splashing water hundreds of meters high!
And Ling Ning also left the monster's back with this blow. He held the fairy weapon tightly and fell into the sea!
"Plop!"
This blow consumed more than half of the real energy in his body, and falling into the sea from a height of 100 meters made him dizzy and unable to distinguish things for a while. At this moment, something seemed to drag him up and out of the sea!
The last thing he saw seemed to be a middle-aged woman with bird-like wings on her back!
"Is she really the Poseidon?"
A final thought came to his mind and he fell unconscious.
