Chapter 23 [Monster]
Gexian also studied in Cangluo No. 1 Middle School when he was in junior high school. One year during the summer vacation, he ventured in with a few senior classmates. At that time, he just felt that the temperature inside the Immortal Cave was very low and it was very cool in summer, but if you stayed there for a long time, you would feel a little unsettled. , and even felt trembling, so a few people just took the risk and walked away, which lasted only five minutes.
However, today, Ge Xian realized that it was actually not simple, because he saw in his eyes a path that he had not discovered before. His spiritual consciousness could now cover a range of tens of meters. What surprised him was that these first The road we saw for the first time probably extended more than a hundred meters.
"There is indeed something strange here. Mortals can only see one path, but cultivators can see more than one." Ge Xian first eliminated the path he had taken in his memory and walked towards another path.
Just after walking twenty meters on this path, Ge Xian couldn't help but look back and found that there was no way back. He used his spiritual sense to scan it and could barely sense the way he came from.
"It seems that someone here deliberately arranged the formation. Fortunately, my Xiaoyao Jue has been upgraded to the third level, otherwise it would be dangerous." Ge Xian seemed more cautious and did not panic.
Both sides of the path were very desolate at first, just sand and gravel. After walking for about a mile, I heard the sound of running water, and under the moonlight, rivers appeared on both sides.
"Underground river? Impossible..." Ge Xian still remembers the topography of his school very clearly. The entire Cangluo No. 1 Middle School is built on a higher hill. This was originally the second-highest mountain in Cangluo County. At the highest point of Luoshan Mountain, there is no river at all. It can only be said that someone used powerful means to create a small world in this fairy cave.
This unknown environment gave Ge Xian a sense of crisis, causing him to unconsciously reach out and put his hand into the Ruyi package at his waist, and then took out a stone and used it as a hidden weapon.
In the package, he deliberately stored thousands of soybean-sized stone hidden weapons. This was because he found an old stonemason in the ancient street who was good at stone tool processing and made a batch for him. They were all made of granite. With the full strength of his spiritual power, When poured into it, it is comparable to a bullet.
After walking for a while, he realized that he seemed to be being watched by someone, so Ge Xian slowed down and slowly prepared for battle.
The river next to it seemed to be more turbulent, and there were even waves.
Ge Xian's spiritual power quickly injected into the stone along the meridians of his arm, causing the stone to tremble slightly, and the dark power gradually increased.
At the same time, spiritual power was concentrated on his eyes, looking at the waves that were constantly coming. Inside the waves, there was a monster lurking in it. He couldn't see what it was specifically, but it was ready to move.
Ge Xian slowly retreated, making a gesture of running away. The monster suddenly became anxious, wrapped its hair in waves, let out a roar, and jumped towards Ge Xian.
Whoosh!
The sound of breaking through the air was sharp and harsh, like the sound of New Year's fireworks, but instead of the fireworks blooming, it turned into a gray-white light that penetrated the waves and penetrated inside.
Ouch!
The monster let out a scream, and suddenly, the entire wave turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye...
With a snap, a slimy, fishy bipedal monster fell ten meters in front of Ge Xian, with blood gurgling from under it.
It was still twitching and not completely dead. Ge Xian covered his nose and got closer to take a closer look.
This monster retains the characteristics of a fish in its upper body. The entire body is slippery and its back is the same as that of a fish. However, the tail has disappeared, and two human-like feet have grown out under the abdomen. But this foot is actually not very standard. There are only three thick toes, and there is a translucent fleshy membrane connecting them in the middle, which looks a bit like chicken feet.
Let's call him a fish demon. He has a big head and an especially big mouth. It's no wonder that fish have big mouths.
The entire face looks flat, with two eyes distributed on both sides. At this time, one of its eyes is gone, leaving only a bloody hole, which must be a fatal injury. The stone of Yi Gexian should have passed through here just now. Got through.
After convulsing for about a minute, the fish demon became dead and the stench hit his nostrils, so Ge Xian hurriedly stayed away. The dead fish really stunk. No wonder Qin Shihuang used salted fish to cover up his death in the middle of the journey.
The smell finally faded away, and Ge Xian felt that his understanding of the world had changed again. He originally thought that monsters were far away from him, but as he continued to come into contact with various cultivators, all kinds of bizarre things began to appear. will follow.
With the first fish demon, there will naturally be more.
The river seems to be the hiding place of the fish demon. They are like robbers, constantly jumping on the shore to stop Ge Xian.
Facing these fish monsters, the stone in his hand was a sharp weapon. Ge Xian found that he didn't like close combat, and preferred to launch hidden weapons through the fish monsters.
Fish demons are obviously a kind of single-minded monsters. They are brave but also reckless. They will never run away and will fight to the end.
Ge Xian could still maintain the momentum of killing with one hit at first, but as his spiritual power and physical strength were consumed, his mental concentration began to decline, and his accuracy gradually deviated, making it difficult to kill with one hit. Sometimes two or even three bullets were needed. This increases the chance that he will be approached by the fish demon and have to face painful close combat.
Fortunately, his movement skills have improved greatly now, and as long as he faces less than three fish monsters, there won't be any big problems.
With a pop, the strong gray light penetrated the last fish-man's head, hitting the vital point. The big fish-man, who had been hit by three stones from Ge Xian, finally fell unwillingly and screamed before dying. , seemed to be cursing Ge Xian.
"No... If I continue like this, my spiritual power will be exhausted first, and my physical strength will soon be exhausted." Ge Xian held his knees with both hands and panted heavily.
After walking along this river for about a few kilometers, he had already killed nearly a hundred fish monsters. Although the journey went smoothly overall, he was still injured.
The ribs, left thigh, and right calf all had wounds scratched by the sharp bone spurs of the fishmen. The wounds on the ribs were the most serious and seemed to be somewhat inflamed.
The bad thing was that he didn't have any medicine on him. This was where he made a mistake, because he didn't know there would be so many monsters in the Immortal Cave before he came, and he couldn't prepare any medicine suitable for cultivators.
He was temporarily unable to move forward and had to recover from his injuries, as well as his spiritual and physical strength, as well as his mental strength.
Fortunately, the riverside was not monotonous stones and sand at this time, but trees and hills appeared. The area was not large, but it was enough for Ge Xian to find a place to temporarily heal his injuries.
The section of the river where Ge Xian killed the fish demon was safe for the time being, so he retreated a little, found the largest tree in the woods on a hill, and jumped directly to the tree. Sit down and use the leafy branches of the big tree as a temporary habitat.
