Demon Sword Mantis Lair.
For ordinary immortal cultivators, it is naturally a difficult existence to deal with. After all, there are dozens of monster beasts that are comparable to those in the late stages of Qi training. Even foundation-building cultivators have to think twice before coming here.
But as far as the Zhao family is concerned.
This monster nest is what they must destroy.
Just think about what method to use.
Think about it.
After further discussion among the cultivators, if we try to break through forcefully, there will inevitably be casualties. It happens to be getting late today, so we simply stay here temporarily and wait until tomorrow to invite the Great Elder Zhao Deguang.
...
The next day.
I sent a transmission note to the Great Elder.
Not long after, he came alone.
What happens next is much simpler.
In order to prevent accidents, the Great Elder first lured the demon sword mantis out of the valley like Mu Yangqiu, and then set fire to kill it.
Repeat this three times.
The number of Demon Sword Mantis was reduced by nearly half.
The remaining demon sword mantises also became cautious, hugging themselves into a ball and not leaving the valley.
Zhao Yongqi simply left some of his men to guard the entrance to the valley, while the rest of the monks, including himself, entered the valley under the leadership of the great elder.
Although the naked eye cannot see through the fog.
However, the spiritual consciousness of the foundation-building monks can penetrate the white mist, but the coverage area is much smaller than normal.
Monsters are very territorial.
So when Zhao Yongqi and other monks stepped into the valley without concealment, the demon sword mantis inside was immediately triggered, and immediately rushed forward to attack the monks one after another.
But they were prepared.
"defense!"
The ring-shaped defensive shields attached to the twelve-ring Qi training spectrum are layered on top of each other, merging with each other to form a huge ring-shaped defensive shield that covers all cultivators.
now.
The twelve-ring qi training technique is still the most practiced technique among the Zhao family's immortal cultivators.
At the same time, various monks watched and helped each other.
They used defensive and offensive magic weapons one after another.
Coupled with the fact that there was a great elder nearby to check for leaks and fill in the gaps, there was no threat from a sneak attack by the Demon Sword Mantis.
On the contrary, it was the Demon Sword Mantis.
One after another died under the magic weapon.
"careful."
Suddenly, the great elder shouted loudly.
Zhao Yongqi was suddenly startled. As the Great Elder's voice came, he suddenly felt the danger coming from nowhere.
Because he was inside the defense circle of the monks.
So he just held the magic weapon in his hand and did not directly use it. However, when he felt the danger, the magic power surged in his palm, and he immediately wanted to use the seventh-grade defensive magic weapon in his hand.
but.
It's still a step too late.
Ripples suddenly appeared in the void above Zhao Yongqi's head.
Immediately afterwards.
A smaller demon sword mantis appeared. It was different from the ordinary demon sword mantis. This demon sword mantis had three pairs of transparent wings on its back. Its appearance was pure jasper, as if it was made of emerald.
Especially its pair of compound eyes.
Shining with agility that is completely different from ordinary monsters.
It's too late, it's fast.
Just when the great elder shouted to be careful, the demon sword mantis appeared. The three groups of wings behind it vibrated rapidly, showing countless afterimages, driving the demon sword mantis towards Zhao Yongqi as fast as lightning.
It's in the eye of the beholder.
Only a green light could be seen suddenly appearing in the void, and then the green light burst out with a sharp energy, rushing towards Zhao Yongqi's position.
Even though Zhao Yongqi had already prepared for battle.
But he didn't expect that the demon sword mantis was so fast, almost three times as fast as the ordinary demon sword mantis. It seemed to know that he was the leader of the group, and it rushed towards him regardless of him after he appeared.
Such a close distance.
There was no time to sacrifice the magical weapon in his hand.
Good thing.
When the Demon Sword Mantis was approaching quickly, a brocade bag that had been hanging around his waist suddenly emitted a faint blue aura.
The blue aura seemed to sense Zhao Yongqi's urgent mood.
It quickly spread and enveloped his entire body.
Form a light blue defensive shield.
"Kan Shuizhu!"
Zhao Yongqi was overjoyed. Kan Shui Bead had the effect of automatically protecting the Lord, so he had long been accustomed to carrying it with him all year round.
It’s a long story.
In fact, it was the moment I saw the light blue aura.
Zhao Yongqi understood clearly in his heart, and at the same time, he bit the tip of his tongue and spurted out a mouthful of tongue essence blood that contained a lot of mana. In an instant, the light blue defensive shield aura flourished, and the blue aura suddenly condensed a lot.
Just as he spurted semen and blood from the tip of his tongue.
The attack of Demon Sword Mantis is approaching.
Its huge serrated forelimbs struck the light blue defensive cover.
In an instant, slight cracks appeared in the defensive cover, but after Zhao Yongqi's blood essence was blessed, the defensive cover was comparable to a seventh-grade magic weapon in a short period of time.
Even if it is shaky.
It cannot be broken immediately.
at the same time.
The attack weapon offered by the Great Elder also arrived near the Demon Sword Mantis, but the Demon Sword Mantis actually erupted with emerald-like fluorescence, forming layers of green light mist that enveloped it.
All of a sudden.
The great elder did not break the seemingly ordinary layer of light mist.
now.
Zhao Yongqi was very close to Demon Sword Mantis.
He could clearly see all the details on Demon Sword Mantis.
Shivering fuzz.
Weird but smart compound eyes.
Full of emerald color.
There are also sickle-like forelimbs and transparent wings that are always trembling.
Zhao Yongqi's mind turned quickly.
Even in this critical moment.
He even slightly discerned that the pair of compound eyes of Demon Sword Mantis seemed to have a kind of anthropomorphic panic.
There are many thoughts in my mind.
But Zhao Yongqi kept moving his hands.
He no longer continued to use other defensive weapons, but tapped the storage bag with his palm, and three seeds the size of broad beans appeared in his hand.
He had a thought in his mind.
A seed immediately fell on the land at the edge of the defensive barrier.
After the seed fell, the ground beneath it rolled over on its own, completely burying the seed in an instant.
Less than a breath of time.
Amazing wood spiritual energy condenses where the seeds are.
Subsequently.
I saw a purple thorn sprouting from the ground.
The redbud thorn appeared outside the defensive shield. It was just a single plant at first, but with its rapid growth, it split into two and then four in an instant...
In the blink of an eye.
Outside the light blue defensive shield, a huge group of red thorns unexpectedly appeared.
The redbud thorns just appeared.
As if possessing intelligence, it spread its fangs and claws to surround the Demon Sword Mantis. At the same time, there were many branches wrapped around the light blue defensive shield, adding another layer of defense to the surface of the defensive shield.
The Demon Sword Mantis saw the red thorns clinging to it.
Immediately, he waved his sickle-like forelimbs, and the sharp blade of wind that looked like a knife condensed out, immediately cutting off the red thorns that were close to it.
But what frightens Demon Sword Mantis is.
The chopped redbud thorns fell to the ground and took root and grew again. Suddenly the number of redbud thorns increased several times.
Some redbud thorns even landed on Demon Sword Mantis and burrowed into its body like worms, seeming to take root in it and survive. Moreover, the purple liquid secreted by the redbud thorns would also corrode the spiritual light on its body.
It makes a sound like water and fire meeting.
Emerges from redbud thorn seeds.
Just five or six breaths of time.
The overwhelming red thorns quickly covered a three-foot radius with Zhao Yongqi as the center, and were still rapidly expanding the area.
This time.
Demon Sword Mantis seems to know that something cannot be done.
Three pairs of transparent wings trembled rapidly, and the body quickly rose up, and it was about to escape from this place.
But how could the Great Elder make it happen?
I saw the great elder sacrificing a handkerchief-looking magic weapon.
The handkerchief flies into the sky and grows in the wind.
At the moment when Demon Sword Mantis was about to escape, the handkerchief appeared over Demon Sword Mantis and suddenly wrapped it up.
The great elder was still worried.
Another golden rope was thrown out, and the opponent was tied up layer by layer again.
It’s a long story.
In fact, from the time this demon sword mantis appeared, to its confrontation with Zhao Yongqi, and finally to being captured alive by the great elder, it only took about ten breaths.
The monks around him just reacted and helped.
The battle is over.
"I didn't expect the clan leader's wood magic to be so powerful."
"I'm afraid even the talented disciples of the Thousand Layers Alliance are not as good as the clan leader."
"This demon sword mantis is probably their leader. Although it has not yet advanced to the fourth-level demon beast, it seems to be only a hair away from the fourth-level demon beast. The clan leader can face it face to face and not fall behind. In refining Qi I’m afraid there are few enemies in the early realm.”
"..."
The cultivators didn't have time to help.
Feeling ashamed.
But the words he said were not all compliments. Naizhen was truly surprised by Zhao Yongqi's combat power.
after all.
All these years.
It seems that no one has seen Zhao Yongqi take action.
...
"Everyone Liao Zan!"
Zhao Yongqi was also reflecting in his heart.
These years of smooth sailing have turned out to be a bit careless. There must be a leader in the monster's lair. This is common sense in southern Xinjiang.
Of course he knows it too.
However, this time he was led by the great elder, and the Demon Sword Mantis he met before did not feel much danger. He was under the protection of the monks, so he did not take the leader of the Demon Sword Mantis seriously.
But he didn't expect that the leader of Demon Sword Mantis was so powerful.
Especially its intelligence, it can actually identify him as an important person.
And its escape speed should not be underestimated. If it weren't for the water droplets automatically protecting it, Zhao Yongqi would have been seriously injured today even if he didn't die.
This is also because.
Zhao Yongqi's fighting skills are relatively inexperienced.
Instead, he took this opportunity to experiment with the actual effect of the "Rapid Growth Technique".
It would be good if used for defense.
But if it is used for offense, it is somewhat weak.
Zhao Yongqi silently reflected and concluded, and at the same time, he also took out the seventh-grade defensive magic weapon that he had prepared long ago. The purple thorns around him had no power to support them, and it didn't take long for them to completely wither and wither.
The leader of Demon Sword Mantis was captured alive.
Everything went smoothly after that, and there were no more surprises.
And it seems that because no leader exists.
The other demon sword mantises also lacked the will to fear death and fled to death. It didn't take long for them to disappear in the valley.
Zhao Yongqi and other monks thoroughly investigated the valley.
After confirming that there were no other monsters, I felt a little relieved.
They quickly found the mine.
There were fifty or sixty entrances in total, but without exception they were all destroyed.
There are still many remaining stone houses and wooden houses in the valley, which may have been where miners lived at that time.
...
After making sure there is no danger in the valley.
The Great Elder didn't stay long, he had to go to the mortal world to take charge to avoid accidents there.
the following few days.
The Zhao family monks first set up layers of barrier formations at the entrance of the valley to ensure that no outsiders could sneak into the valley.
Then.
Carry out a blanket inspection in the valley.
The valley is irregularly circular, with a diameter of about a mile, which can be said to be large or small.
In addition to a large number of stone houses.
Zhao Yongqi also found the source of the fog in the valley, which was condensed from a strange herb called cold mist flower.
Cold fog flowers.
Likes shade and coolness,
It is a common exotic herb in southern Xinjiang. It has no medicinal value yet, but the flowers release a lot of mist, so it is somewhat unique.
This mist has the effect of weakly isolating spiritual consciousness.
The fog can cover the entire valley, so you can imagine how many cold fog flowers there are in the valley.
A rough estimate.
There are at least 50,000 plants.
The mist condensed by the Cold Mist Flower has no effect on the Demon Sword Mantis. Instead, it can increase the Demon Sword Mantis' concealment. This may be the reason why the Demon Sword Mantis settled here.
Think about it for a long time.
Zhao Yongqi still decided not to eradicate Leng Wuhua.
From now on, this valley must be under the control of the Zhao family. The large amount of fog condensed by Lengwuhua is not a bad thing for the defenders.
in addition.
This valley is named - Silver Mine Valley!
Except for the cold mist flowers.
More than forty monster eggs were also found deep in the Silver Mine Valley. Needless to say, the monster eggs that appeared here were naturally the monster eggs of the Demon Sword Mantis.
Monster eggs are all white with blue inside.
Only the two monster eggs in the middle are completely jasper in color, which is really beautiful.
It's just like......
The color of the Demon Sword Mantis leader is like that.
Zhao Yongqi put away all the monster eggs.
These monster eggs are the biggest harvest of this trip. They are several times stronger than the corpses of the monster sword mantis. The monster eggs here are all of the same race, so they have high cultivation value. Zhao Yongqi has no plans to reward them for the time being.
Except for those two special ones, which are suspected to be the bloodline of the leader of Demon Sword Mantis.
The rest are ordinary monster eggs.
He plans to ask someone to create a demon control card and use it to control them, so that whoever controls the demon card can control the corresponding monster.
Thus.
He can place these demon sword mantises in the Silver Mine Valley again.
Whoever is on duty here.
They can all be manipulated through demon control cards.
This group of demonic sword mantises can also become demonic beasts belonging to the Zhao family, rather than belonging to any single monk.
certainly.
The prerequisite is to hatch them out.
And consume a lot of resources to make them grow.
...
It took nearly ten days.
Finally, the Silver Mine Valley was completely reorganized, and many monks could safely start digging mines.
The digging speed of the cultivator.
Naturally, it cannot be compared to ordinary people.
It only took one day to dig out all the mine entrances and pass through the earth and stone structures inside.
Determine which ones are blocked recently.
Which ones have been blocked for many years?
Next.
Then continue to dig out the mines that have been blocked recently.
Inside the mine.
In the front are monks who use magic weapons, using sharp magic tools to cut mountains and quarry rocks, while in the back are monks who are good at earth magic.
Consolidate a lot of excavated earth and rocks.
Either attached to the surface of the mine to reinforce the cave, or turned into stone pillars to support the mine.
And Taniguchi guards the monks in Silver Mine Valley.
We are also slowly clearing away the monsters near the Silver Mine Valley, laying the foundation for safety when the subsequent large forces arrive.
Zhao Yongqi is two points and one line.
When he's not out cleaning monsters, he's checking the progress in the mine.
A flash.
Another few days passed.
