Chapter 454: Water Pond

In the dark and humid environment, water droplets fell from the roof of the cave from time to time, making a "tick-tick-tick" sound.

The smell in the air is terrible. After all, there are many bats living here, and the ground is almost covered with bat droppings, which also gives rise to many insects and reptiles.

Gu Zheng and Miaomiao were still approaching the source of the previous energy fluctuations in the world. They put their magical power outside their bodies to form a cyclone-like protection. All the snakes, insects, rats, and ants had already fled before they approached.

"Qi Ling, what kind of place is this Tianluo Cave in normal times?" Gu Zheng thought to himself.

"You mean those little things on the ground and those bats on the roof of the cave, right?" Qi Ling asked back.

There are too many bats in Tianluo Cave, and the ones Miao Miao killed before are just a drop in the bucket in Tianluo Cave. The bats hanging on the ceiling of the cave now look no different from ordinary bats. Their ingredients are garbage and there is nothing poisonous in their bodies.

"Yes, these things have been living in Tianluo Cave, and you once said that evil spirits will attack all living things, how did they survive? Moreover, they themselves can't see any traces of being demonized! "Gu Zheng said.

"Although the evil energy in Tianluo Cave is of the same origin as the evil energy in the Blood Tide Restricted Area, you have seen some of their differences in nature. According to my guess, this Tianluo Patriarch should have the ability to control evil energy. You can Treat these evil spirits as They have been 'domesticated', or they have accepted certain instructions and lived under certain rules, so there are these normal creatures in the cave, and the existence of these things is naturally not within their attack range. It's inside." Qi Ling said.

"If Master Tianluo really had such a method, in his era, I'm afraid he would have been a very difficult person without the need for a top-notch immortal weapon like the Nine-Colored Fantasy Sound Conch. It's a pity that it's too old. , There is no way to understand the affairs of Patriarch Tianluo," Gu Zheng said with emotion.

"It's so disgusting!"

Meow's irritable voice sounded, and with a wave of his hand, a group of bugs escaping in the distance immediately stopped forever as they had been a moment ago. Although there was a cyclone outside the body, these bugs could not touch Meow Meow, but this still could not make her feel disgusted.

"Huh?"

Originally, he wanted to touch Miaomiao's hair as a comfort, but Gu Zheng's eyes were attracted by a pool in the corner.

The terrain where Gu Zheng and the others are now is considered a small end of many caves. The space here is very large and there are relatively few stalactites. In a place like Tianluo Cave, it can be considered very open.

The pool was about the size of a room. After Gu Zheng got closer, his eyes fell on a footprint on the edge of the pool.

"What kind of footprints are these? They look so weird!"

Meow Meow also came to the pool and his eyes fell on the footprints.

The shape of the footprints is somewhat like a human foot, but there are no toes, and there are no traces of shoes.

"Looking at the size of the footprints, the thing that left the mark should be quite big." Gu Zheng said.

Head Mu once told Gu Zheng that there were several kinds of monsters in Tianluo Cave that could attack people, but none of them had such special footprints.

"In the area that has been explored in Tianluo Cave, this is the center of Tianluo Cave. There is still a long way to go from the depths we want to go! This unknown thing has already appeared in the central area. Monster, I don’t know what I will encounter if I continue walking, I want to try the beast spirit food cultivation." Gu Zheng thought.

"Okay, give it a try if you want. If there are still people who control something to attack, it will be a good time to see whether the beast spirit food cultivator is more powerful or the control is stronger. In addition, controlling a spirit beast is not What a bad thing, the immortal formation in Tianluo Cave is definitely more difficult to deal with, and we may need some cannon fodder at the critical moment," Qi Ling said.

In the past, when cooking food in dangerous places, Gu Zheng had to worry about whether he would attract something, but now this worry no longer exists.

After casting a few spells and placing restrictions around the area, Gu Zheng took out the kitchen utensils and ingredients from the ancient space, and soon a pot of beast spiritual food was ready.

Back in the Ruins of Shu, Gu Zheng relied on a pot of beast spiritual food to cultivate, so that many spiritual beasts gathered together to besiege the Xuanyin Demon Spider, and finally obtained the heavenly materials and earthly treasures guarded by the Xuanyin Demon Spider.

"The original pot of beast spiritual food cultivation used ordinary quality meat, and the food cultivation level was low-grade. The current pot of beast spiritual food cultivation still uses ordinary quality meat, but the level of food cultivation has reached Medium grade! The original pot of beast spiritual food cultivator could only seduce high-level spiritual beasts, but now the pot of beast spiritual food cultivator, even if it is a spirit demon cultivator, as long as it dares to eat it, it must be controlled by you. !”

Qi Ling exchanged words with Gu Zheng for a while, and then said in a loud voice: "Miaomiao, do you want to have a taste of this delicious food?"

Miao Miao, who was secretly swallowing his saliva, immediately became alert when he heard the malicious voice of the weapon spirit.

"No, the animal spirit food cultivation that Mr. made is different from the one I have eaten. This kind of food is harmful to the body!" Meow said.

"It's okay. You are already a demon cultivator at the level of an earth demon. This kind of beast spirit food cultivation will not have any impact on you." The weapon spirit continued to smile evilly.

"I'd better not give it up!" Meow Meow whispered.

"Hmm."

Feeling that Miaomiao had been amused enough, the weapon spirit smiled smugly: "To be honest, it's okay for you to eat this level of beast spirit food, but if it's a top-grade beast spirit food, let alone a demon cultivator at the level of Earth Demon, even a demon cultivator at the level of Mysterious Demon or Heavenly Demon, it's delicious and hard to digest!"

"Is it really that amazing?" Miaomiao said with wide eyes.

"It's true, but the main ingredients of top-grade beast spirit food are rare, and I don't have any reserves here." Gu Zheng smiled.

"Isn't the main ingredient these fine meats?" Miaomiao asked curiously.

"No, the main ingredients of low-grade and medium-grade beast spirit food are all 'Rosemary', while the main ingredients of top-grade beast spirit food are something else." Gu Zheng smiled slightly.

As he spoke, Gu Zheng had already packed the beast spirit food, and was about to continue on his journey with Miaomiao, when he frowned slightly.

Gu Zheng's brows just frowned, and Miaomiao's brows also frowned, because they both discovered a divine thought.

The divine thought just swept past, coming and going quickly. Gu Zheng and Miao Miao did not take any measures when they discovered the divine thought, so their appearance and the situation around them were already known by the owner of the divine thought.

"I didn't use the divine thought to detect you, but you actually used the divine thought to detect me."

Gu Zheng sneered in his heart. He could easily swallow or decompose the divine thought just now, but he didn't do that. This is the same reason why he didn't use the divine thought to detect.

In Gu Zheng's existing speculation, there are two immortal cultivators in Tianluo Cave. No matter how strong these two immortal cultivators are, whether they know their existence or not, he doesn't want to expose his strength and alert the enemy. Anyway, he has his goal. Even if he needs to use the divine thought to detect, now is not the time. What's more, as an immortal cultivator, even if he doesn't use the divine thought to detect, he can feel things within a large range.

"Sir, if it weren't for the look in your eyes just now, I wouldn't let go of that divine thought easily." Miao Miao raised his little fist.

"I know, let's continue on our way!" Gu Zheng smiled slightly.

At the same time.

Somewhere in Tianluo Cave, the old man in black robe retracted his divine thoughts, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It turned out to be you two, good, very good! You actually killed my red slave, and now you come to this Tianluo Cave to snatch my treasure, you will never be redeemed!" The old man in black robe gnashed his teeth.

This old man in black robe was Gongsun Changsheng, the previous master of the angry man!

When Miaomiao used immortal power to catch fish, there was a "grudge" in the fish school. Gongsun Changsheng sensed the approximate cultivation of Miaomiao through the "grudge", so he warned the angry man to be careful when going to Wufeng Island, as there might be immortal cultivators on the island.

Afterwards, Miaomiao devoured the immortal essence in the "grudge", and when the eye pattern on the belly of the "grudge" narrowed before it died, Gongsun Changsheng also saw the appearance of Gu Zheng and Miaomiao through those eyes.

But what Gongsun Changsheng didn't know was that the angry man was not dead, but had already recognized Gu Zheng as his master.

The injured finger gestures changed repeatedly, and the mysterious light pattern appeared on Gongsun Changsheng's face again.

"Awoo!"

"Woohoo!"

The strange cry came from the depths of Tianluo Cave, and Lu Qi, who was on his way, frowned.

"It's endless, right? It's okay to make the bats mutate before, but after scanning it with your divine sense just now, what kind of tricks are you going to do now? I want to see how capable you are!"

Anger appeared in Lu Qi's eyes, and he rushed out with a shake of his body, and the direction he was heading was exactly where Gongsun Changsheng was.

The roar filled the Tianluo Cave, and a huge monster rushed out of each of the four caves in front of Gu Zheng and Miao Miao.

One of them was the Xuanyin Demon Spider that Gu Zheng had seen in Shuxu. As for the other three, one looked like a huge bat. Although there were wing membranes between its limbs, it crawled out. Among the other two, one was a humanoid monster with stalactites all over its body, and the last one looked like a huge humanoid corpse, with many parts of its body showing white bones. The footprints by the pool were left by it.

The Xuanyin Demon Spider, the giant bat, and the stalactite monster came out first, but when they saw the humanoid corpse coming out, they obviously paused, revealing their instinctive fear of the humanoid corpse.

However, these monsters did not act according to instinct. They were controlled by Gongsun Changsheng, so after a momentary pause, they still rushed towards Gu Zheng and Miao Miao.

"These four things, including the Xuanyin Demon Spider, are no longer simple spirit beasts. They are all mutations after being demonized by evil spirits. Moreover, although they look ferocious, the spiritual light in each of their eyes is not weak. The spiritual intelligence they possess should be much higher than that of ordinary spirit beasts."

The voice of the weapon spirit sounded in Gu Zheng's mind.

"Sir, these guys are so weird. Can the beast spirit food that only works on spirit beasts work on them?" Meow Meow asked.

"The black Yin demon spider, the giant bat, and the stalactite monster should all be able to work on them. After all, even if they mutate, they are still spirit beasts. But the beast spirit food will probably not have any effect on the human corpse, after all, it is not a spirit beast. However, you can give it a try. I also want to know how the human corpse will react after eating the beast spirit food."

Gu Zheng paused, then pointed at the four guys rushing over: "Meow Meow, show off your love!"

"Okay!"

Miao Miao responded happily, raised his hand and threw the beast spirit food Xiu cooked by Gu Zheng towards the four monsters.

The pieces of meat that Miaomiao threw were directed at the mouths of the monsters. Among them, the stalactite monster, which was roaring with its mouth open, swallowed the pieces of meat directly.

"Whoosh!"

As soon as the Xuanyin Demon Spider raised its sharp claws, the piece of meat was stabbed by it, and the wonderful smell of meat immediately made it forget to move forward.

The huge bat's forelimbs blocked it, and the piece of meat that originally flew towards its mouth hit the wing membrane and flew straight towards Meow Meow.

As for the pieces of flesh that flew toward the humanoid rotten corpse, they were instantly turned into a pool of pus by the layer of green mist that filled its surface before even getting close to the humanoid rotten corpse.

Miao Miao waved his hand again, and the piece of meat that originally flew back flew back again. This time, the huge bat did not use its forelimbs to block it. After the piece of meat was bounced back, it stopped moving forward, and its nose kept twitching. , chasing the scent of meat filling the air.

"Whoosh!"

The scarlet tongue popped out, and the lost piece of meat was swallowed by the giant bat.

"thump!"

The first stalactite monster that swallowed a piece of meat fell on the way to Gu Zheng and Miao Miao.

Miao Miao waved his hand for the third time, and a violent wind came out. The green mist on the surface of the humanoid corpse was blown away, and the pieces of meat entered its mouth.

At the same time, the Xuanyin Demonic Spider also swallowed the piece of meat, and the huge bat that swallowed the piece of meat first fell to the ground.

The humanoid carrion that had eaten the pieces of flesh became slower, but still rushed towards Gu Zheng and them.

"Sir, although this humanoid rotting corpse has no reaction, the overall effect of the beast spirit food cultivator is pretty good! These guys who seem to have good intelligence are almost unable to resist its temptation!"

"Yes." Gu Zheng smiled slightly: "Meow, let's get rid of the humanoid corpse!"

There is Gu Zheng's blood in the beast spirit food cultivation, so Gu Zheng can feel that although the humanoid rotting corpse has swallowed his beast spirit food cultivation, the beast spirit food cultivation has not had much impact on it, so he wants to control it It is simply impossible.

"Whoosh!"

He took out Tang Mo and danced a sword flower, and Gu Zheng put Tang Mo into the ancient space.

"It's such a pity that Tang Mo didn't react at all to these things." Gu Zheng smiled bitterly.

"Including the Xuanyin Demon Spider, even if these things have evil energy in their bodies, they are not pure. After all, they are the products of evil spirits. It is not strange that Tang Mo has no reaction to them." Ling laughed.

"By the way, the weapon spirit, I feel that the opponent's control strength is much weaker against these high-level monsters." Gu Zheng said.

"Yes, for the control of these spiritual beasts, the opponent's control strength is obviously much weaker than the previous bats that can self-destruct. If the opponent's control strength can be stronger, even if the beast spirit food cultivation and food cultivation are very tempting, It won't be so easy," Qi Ling said.

Gu Zheng chatted with Qi Ling, while Miao Miao quickly got rid of the humanoid carrion.

Among the four monsters, the stalactite monster, the giant bat and the Xuanyin demon spider are more powerful than most of the fifth-level late cultivators, but after eating the beast spirit food cultivator, even a small piece of meat is now He was lying on the ground motionless.

As for the humanoid rotting corpse, apart from being unable to regulate the energy of heaven and earth, its strength is already very close to that of an immortal cultivator in the early stage of Qi transformation! Unfortunately, the opponent it encountered was Miao Miao, and before it had time to use many of its methods, it was burned into a pile of ashes by Miao Miao's demonic fire.

Gu Zheng thought, and the three monsters that seemed to be dead suddenly jumped up.

"Find the source of your orders and launch an attack!"

Gu Zheng conveyed his intention to the three monsters, and the three monsters immediately rushed into the same cave. Gu Zheng followed behind leisurely with Miaomiao.

The middle-grade beast spiritual food cultivator is much stronger than the low-grade beast. In the current situation, Gu Zheng can completely control it from a distance.

"I wonder what the expression on that person's face will be when he sees these monsters? After all, these things were originally under his command!" A sneer appeared on the corner of Gu Zheng's mouth.

He didn't leave a single monster by his side. Gu Zheng also had his own plans. Anyway, there were a lot of strange screams coming from the depths of Tianluo Cave. I would definitely encounter a few more monsters along the way. I'll leave him alone when the time comes. It’s not too late for the next one.

Gu Zheng was still approaching his destination, and near his destination, Lu Qi and Gongsun Changsheng were already standing together.

The figures of the two were like the wind, moving so fast that people couldn't see clearly. The crazy energy of the world swept back and forth, and rocks fell from the top of the cave from time to time.

"Enough!"

Gongsun Changsheng roared and wanted to get rid of Lu Qi's entanglement, but this was obviously not something that could be done in a short time. Lu Qi still pestered him endlessly.

"Enough? Not enough! Where are we now? The immortal weapon is useless, and the energy of heaven and earth is not fully mobilized. How can it be possible?" Lu Qi sneered, and the attack in his hand did not stop at all.

"What? Do you still want to use immortal weapons, or control the energy of heaven and earth to your heart's content? Do you think this place can support us and let us let go of the fighting?"

Gongsun Changsheng was a little helpless. If Lu Qi's strength wasn't slightly better than his, he really wouldn't talk nonsense with Lu Qi.

"First you control the bats to harass, then you scan with your spiritual mind, and then you let those monsters come out and make people look embarrassed. Aren't you quite capable? Why are you not so rampant?" Lu Qi said with a smile.

"Don't think I'm afraid of you. If you push me, I'll let you know how powerful I really am!"

Gongsun Changsheng roared, and the palm wind he pushed out collided with Lu Qi's palm wind again in the air, producing an explosion-like sound. He also floated back a distance and shouted to Lu Qi who was rushing again: "If you want to fight with each other, let the fisherman benefit!"

Lu Qi originally just wanted to teach Gongsun Changsheng a lesson, and now he stopped chasing after him after hearing what he said.

"Gongsun Changsheng, what do you mean by this? Are there other immortal cultivators in Tianluo Cave besides you and me?"

Apart from immortal cultivators, Lu Qi couldn't think of anyone else who could take on the role of fisherman.
