Chapter 1938: What I Saw in the Cave
With a "puff" sound, hundreds of white multi-legged insects emerged from the bottom of the pool.
After flying into the air, these insects immediately curled up into balls the size of watermelons and smashed towards Luo Hong.
Before they got close, the magic patterns on their bodies flashed at high speed, and their breath quickly became violent.
But at this moment, the purple light that flew out of Luo Hong's sleeves turned into a giant scorpion with two tails.
"Roar!"
It didn't see it use any magical powers, just a roar, and the magic power in the bodies of those insects that were on the verge of self-explosion all stagnated.
Then, the giant scorpion opened its mouth and sucked, and all the insects in the air flew into her mouth.
However, only halfway through the suction, the giant scorpion's eyes suddenly lit up, as if there was a look of surprise.
The next moment, she changed from sucking to spitting, spraying a large amount of purple mist, wrapping up all the insects.
Then, the purple mist rolled, and half of the remaining insects in the air were sealed up and turned into purple balls the size of broad beans.
At this time, the two-tailed giant scorpion flashed with spiritual light, and turned into a little girl with two long purple braids, it was A Zi.
"I didn't expect you to be so delicious, but you can't eat them all at once."
As she said that, A Zi shook her long braids, and a storage ring with the braid tail on it immediately rolled out a ray of light, and collected all the purple balls in the air.
"This kind of poisonous insect is also useful for your cultivation?"
Seeing that A Zi attached so much importance to these poisonous insects, Luo Hong couldn't help asking.
"My master, this kind of insect doesn't feel comfortable when eaten, it's just delicious, bursting with juice, and has an excellent taste!"
A Zi did not hide her greed. After saying that, she turned her palm to take out a purple ball, threw it into her mouth and ate it happily.
Luo Hong nodded when he heard it, no longer paying attention to her, but moving his eyes to sweep the four walls of the cave.
Apart from the skeletons embedded in the stone wall, the only thing worth noting on the stone wall is the pieces of flesh membranes of different colors.
These flesh membranes vary in size, some are less than ten feet square, and some cover a hundred feet.
Luo Hong's eyes flashed with inspiration, and he saw that behind these flesh membranes were winding passages filled with poisonous gas, which obviously led to other caves.
"After the spiritual consciousness leaves the current cave, it will be greatly suppressed. Even I can only explore the situation of the two nearest caves. It's really amazing!"
After sighing, Luo Hong couldn't help but feel fortunate for his foresight.
In such a place, if he only relied on the purple eyes to guide the way, it would be extremely difficult to find an ancient inheritance. It would be impossible to explore the plot of Zhaogu Zhenren and others.
"Azi, protect me."
After telling Azi, Luo Hong immediately sat cross-legged in the air, with his hands on his dantian. With a thought, the little black ball flew out of his body and flew onto his palms.
Although his consciousness was blocked, Luo Hong could sense the position of the power of the Primordial Law with the help of the small black ball.
Circles of black light emanated from the surface of the small black ball, and they disappeared into the void after flying a few feet.
After just a few breaths, Luo Hong, who was sitting cross-legged in the air, slowly turned his body, and soon stopped facing one direction.
"The sense is so vague. The restrictions of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave should not be able to stop the Primordial Law. It is probably because of the distance.
However, since it can be sensed, it is obvious that the power of the law has also come to the Ten Thousand Poison Cave.
It is really strange. Why did the ancient poison master gather the poison aura of so many people?"
The Ten Thousand Poison Cave has existed for many years. Even now, every time it is opened, there are no less than tens of thousands of poison cultivators entering. In the past, it was even more exaggerated.
This accumulation can only be described as "astronomical figures"!
But Luo Hong really couldn't guess the purpose of that senior.
"There are too few clues at the moment. Let's go meet up with the Five Immortals and investigate slowly."
With a flash of thought in his mind, Luo Hong put away the small black ball and let A Zi get back into his sleeve.
Then, he flipped his palm and took out the purple stone tablet that the Five Immortals had given them before.
According to him, this tablet was the product of his personal defense of the purple stone bead, and the restrictions in the Ten Thousand Poison Cave could not cut off the connection between the two.
After activating it, a purple smoke suddenly emerged from the stone tablet, circling around twice, and then went straight to a yellow flesh membrane.
Seeing this, Luo Hong took back the stone tablet, turned into a beam of light and passed through the yellow flesh membrane.
Behind the flesh membrane was a winding passage full of yellow poisonous gas. A Zi immediately used purple mist to protect Luo Hong.
It was only a Golden Immortal-level poison, and A Zi was able to deal with it easily.
After all, relying on refining the three pots of Five Immortals Wine, A Zi had already reached the middle stage of Taiyi cultivation.
The poison is so strong that it poses a certain threat even to Daluo cultivators!
Not long after, Luo Hong came to the end of the passage.
It was also a yellow flesh membrane, and behind it was a cave that had never been recorded.
According to the results of the divine sense exploration, its area was half the size of the previous Qianhong Pool, but there were many breaths of Golden Immortal cultivators.
Without hiding his figure, Luo Hong directly passed through the yellow flesh membrane, and then pushed out with a palm, blasting out a big black sky thunder, smashing a spider web behind the flesh membrane.
This movement immediately caused a cry of surprise, and Luo Hong looked over and saw five demon women soaking in a light yellow hot spring.
Judging from their appearance, they seemed to be practicing before.
Although the five demon women were all very charming, Luo Hong only glanced at them and confirmed that they were not a threat, then he activated the purple stone tablet again.
Soon, the purple smoke floated towards a piece of flesh membrane above Luo Hong's head.
Without hesitation, Luo Hong blasted out another thunder, opened up a path, and then dodged into it.
"Damn, another heartless guy, I didn't even trick him."
"Oh, my luck is so bad. We finally found this bone-melting pool, but more than a year has passed, and only one person has taken the bait!"
"Don't be discouraged, Fifth Sister, go and mend the spider web, there is still a long time."
As soon as Luo Hong left, the five demon women in the hot spring immediately lost their previous panic, and instead showed disappointed expressions.
It turned out that the poison skills they practiced were quite compatible with this bone-melting pool, and they could take advantage of fighting near the pool.
So, they wanted to use this to kill people and steal treasures, but so far, they have gained very little.
The fifth sister pursed her lips when she heard this, wondering why it was me again, but she didn't dare to disobey openly, and flew out of the bone-melting pool without a single piece of clothing.
But at this moment, the flesh membrane above the five women flashed with a spiritual light, and Luo Hong, who had left earlier, actually came back!
"Tsk, I thought he was a gentleman!"
The fifth sister was stunned when she saw this, but soon covered her vital parts with her hands and acted shy.
"Ah! How can you be so rude, fellow Taoist!"
"Noisy!"
Luo Hong had already noticed the tricks of these five women. After all, they were just practicing, so why did they take off their clothes? It was obviously not for pure purposes.
But since they didn't provoke him, he didn't bother to pay attention.
Luo Hong's return at the moment was not because of them.
After a scolding, Luo Hong immediately cast a spell to hide his figure.
Just as the five women were confused, another escape light flew out from the flesh membrane above their heads.
Although he was a man, he was dressed very femininely, and it was the flower snake with a changed appearance!
"Oh, that's right, there are five prey here, which saves me a lot of trouble."
Looking at the five witches in the bone-melting pool, Huashe's eyes suddenly lit up, but there was no lust in his eyes, only the joy of harvest.
"Who are you?!"
The eldest sister among the five women immediately realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly sacrificed the magic treasure and asked sternly.
"Hand over your Yuanying obediently, and you can suffer less physical pain."
With a sinister smile, Huashe had already made a move, and a thousand-foot-tall phantom of a strange beast appeared behind him.
This strange beast has nine heads, all of which look like giant snakes. The color of the scales on each head is different, but they all exude a very strong breath.
"Taiyi monk, run!"
Sensing the breath leaked by Huashe, the eldest sister's expression immediately became extremely terrified.
The five sisters are just ordinary Jinxian monks. How can they be the opponent of a Taiyi monk? At this moment, they can only run for their lives separately!
Looking at the five figures that fled one after another, the flower snake curled its lips, changed the spell in its hand, and five of the nine-headed beast's heads moved at the same time.
The blue-scaled snake head opened its mouth and spit out a blue lightning, which directly struck the fifth sister and made her explode in the air, and her body turned to ashes.
The red-scaled snake head moved its nose, and a giant lava hand appeared near the eldest sister, grabbing her, and not letting go no matter how she screamed.
The yellow-scaled snake head's eyes flashed, and the second sister was petrified in the air, and fell to pieces after falling to the ground.
The green-scaled snake head opened its mouth and spit out a green mist, which wrapped the third sister and made her melt in it.
The last golden-scaled snake head roared, and the invisible sharp blade swept across the fourth sister, turning her into a blood mist on the spot.
After easily killing the five women's bodies, the five snake heads opened their mouths and sucked at the same time, and suddenly five Yuanyings of different colors were shot back and collected by the flower snake with a gray bone gourd.
After weighing the gourd with satisfaction, the flower snake casually swept through the cave, and seeing nothing unusual, it flew into another flesh membrane.
After a full thirty breaths, Luo Hong revealed his figure from his hiding place, which was ten feet behind the flower snake.
"The power of the law of the magical power this person used just now has reached the Taiyi level. What kind of magical power is this, and why does it make me feel familiar?"
It is absolutely impossible for a cultivator in the late Taiyi period to cultivate five different laws of heaven and earth to the Taiyi realm at the same time, not to mention that the other four snake heads are estimated to have mastered a law each.
There is no doubt that this is definitely done in some tricky way.
But it is also undeniable that this person's strength among cultivators of the same level is definitely in the first echelon.
After Luo Hong frowned and thought for a while, the four characters "Nine Tribulations to Destroy Souls" suddenly appeared in his soul.
"It's better not to be what I guessed, otherwise this person might have the strength to assassinate a Daluo cultivator!"
The reason why Luo Hong was so concerned about the flower snake at this moment was not only because it showed a corner of its terrifying strength, but also because the other party was one of the three demons around Master Zhaogu.
"Looking at his appearance, it is obvious that he is intentionally collecting the Yuanying of poison cultivators.
This matter must be made known to the Five Immortals Ancestor as soon as possible. He knows the Ten Thousand Poison Cave very well and will definitely be able to infer something from it!"
The reason why Luo Hong went back just now was because when he was about to enter the next cave, his consciousness detected that the flower snake was killing people and taking babies.
Because it was Master Zhaogu's subordinate, Luo Hong hesitated for a moment and did not choose to confront it head-on, which led to the previous incident.
Later, Luo Hong relied on the guidance of the purple stone sign and passed through eight grottoes in a row without encountering any major accidents.
Finally, when he came to the tenth grotto, Luo Hong felt suddenly enlightened by the huge area of the grotto, and saw the ancestors of the Five Immortals and others who had gathered together.
This grotto exists in records and is the famous large grotto - Red Umbrella Forest.
Although it is said to be a forest, the cave is actually filled with all kinds of huge colorful mushrooms.
Many of them are spitting out spores, causing many locations close to the ground to be shrouded in poisonous barriers.
At this time, the Five Immortal Ancestors and others were sitting cross-legged on a patch of needle mushrooms that were more than a hundred feet high. Luo Hong glanced around and found that he was the last one to arrive.
"Why are you so slow, little friend?"
The ancestor of the Five Immortals was not angry, but just asked a routine question.
"Forgive me, ancestor, but I met a Taiyi monk from Zhaogu Zhenren on the road. He hid for a while and missed the time."
Luo Hong cupped his hands and reported.
"Oh? Did the other party do anything suspicious?"
Originally, the Five Immortal Ancestors wanted to let everyone search for traces of Zhao Gu Zhenren and his party after the meeting.
After all, he could rely on his control over part of the restrictions in Ten Thousand Poison Cave to lock down the general area of the two great figures Zhao Gu Zhenren and Sima Lei.
But he didn't expect that before he started taking action, his men had already reaped the rewards.
"Could it be that this son is my lucky general?"
The ancestor of the Five Immortals couldn't help but sneered.
"Ancestor, that person seems to be deliberately hunting down poison cultivators like us and collecting their Nascent Souls.
From what the junior has seen alone, six of his comrades have fallen into his hands. "
Luo Hong said truthfully.
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the monks present changed. They were all poisonous cultivators.
"Hmph! It turns out they want to get in there. No wonder they have to use tricks to prevent us three old guys from coming!"
As Luo Hong expected, as soon as the Five Immortal Ancestors learned of the situation, they understood what Zhao Gu Zhenren and the others were planning to do.
"Master, what exactly is the place you are talking about?"
Qianye asked curiously.
“There is a large cave in the Ten Thousand Poison Cave called ‘Jueqing Cliff’, which can melt the Nascent Soul of our Poison Cultivators into an evil thing that is not among the Five Elements.
This evil thing is extremely murderous and can be combined with all poisons to turn into poisonous spirits, greatly increasing our strength!
But although there are many benefits, our poisonous cultivators are no longer as powerful as they were in ancient times. Of course, we can no longer leave this place of internal strife unchecked.
Therefore, I and the other two old guys cast spells to seal Jueqing Cliff a long time ago and erased all relevant records.
It's really hard for them to be able to put their ideas on Jueqing Cliff! "
The ancestor of the Five Immortals had a face as cold as ice and murderous intent rolling in his eyes.
