Chapter 276 A Ray of Hope

"You came here with this iron lion?"

Listening to Chu Ning's obviously unkind words, Shi Feng's majesty formed by being in the upper position for a long time was completely restrained at this moment.

"This...senior's surname is Chu?"

Shi Feng bowed his hands towards Chu Ning and saluted, actually treating himself as a junior.

"Senior Chu, I did come with this railway...Iron Lion, but I just got to know him.

He wanted to ask me for a favor and promised to kill the iron rock beast here together.

Only then did they come together. "

After hearing this, Chu Ning nodded slightly and asked again:

"You want that iron rock beast? I have already killed it!"

Hearing that the Iron Rock Beast was also killed by Chu Ning, Shi Feng's expression changed slightly.

This iron rock beast has extremely strong defense. Even if he and the iron lion were combined, it would not be that easy to kill him.

But at this moment, Chu Ning said it in an understatement.

Thinking of the way the Iron Lion was unable to fight back when Chu Ning punched him three times just now, Shi Feng immediately put away the expression on his face.

"Junior did have some thoughts about this rock-armored beast before.

But since the senior has taken a liking to this monster, the junior will not be so ignorant. "

Chu Ning was originally planning to exchange the rock-armored beast with the stone peak to see if he could get some of the things left behind by the monks thousands of years ago.

At this moment, there is no rush to tell the condition.

Instead, he asked directly towards Shi Feng:

"What favor did Iron Lion ask you for just now? Does he also want to see the items left behind by the monks outside the island thousands of years ago?"

When Shi Feng heard that Chu Ning had guessed correctly, he looked at Xie Xianhai and knew that Chu Ning already knew the general situation.

He immediately told the truth:

"That's right, senior has a sharp gaze.

The place where the monk lived before was indeed within the scope of my boulder tribe, and there were indeed many things left in it.

If seniors are interested, you can check it out in our Boulder tribe. "

Chu Ning couldn't help but be surprised by Shi Feng's cooperation, and could only sigh in her heart.

"In this world, strength is indeed the most respected!"

Since the other party was so determined, Chu Ning would naturally not refuse, even if he dragged the iron rock beast out from behind the stone.

When the three people from the Boulder Tribe saw Chu Ning dragging the corpse of the Iron Rock Beast, their eyes couldn't help but flicker.

At this moment, Chu Ning said to Shi Feng:

"I'll first go to the place where the monks live to see. If this iron rock beast is of no use to me, I will give it to your tribe."

Hearing Chu Ning's words, Shi Feng was overjoyed.

Immediately, the group of people descended from the Hundred Beasts Mountain.

On the way, we encountered some more monsters, and several of them were masters in their respective tribes.

Chu Ning killed these monsters one after another without taking any action.

On the way, Chu Ning sensed a third-level monster, so he took the initiative to kill it and gave it to Xie Xianhai.

It can be regarded as thanking the other person for their hospitality.

Then Chu Ning went to the Donglin tribe to pick up Shi Xuerong.

After all, Shi Xuerong came from a large sect like Guiyuan Sect and had broader knowledge than Chu Ning.

Chu Ning still doesn’t know what the monk left behind thousands of years ago.

Asking Master Xuerong to join us, one more person will naturally bring more strength.

After leaving the gate of the Donglin tribe, Chu Ning glanced at Shi Feng waiting at the foot of the mountain from a distance.

Turning his head towards Xie Xianhai who was sending him out, he smiled lightly and said:

"Xie Patriarch, I will go to the Boulder Tribe first to see what the monk left behind.

I will definitely come back to chat with you later. "

I don’t know if it’s a preconceived idea, but compared to Shi Feng, Chu Ning still feels that Xie Xianhai is more comfortable to get along with.

Upon hearing this, Xie Xianhai suddenly beamed with joy.

"Senior will come back? Then junior is waiting for Senior Chu in the village!"

However, since Shi Feng regarded himself as a junior in front of Chu Ning, Xie Xianhai no longer relied on his elders and followed the senior in calling Chu Ning.

Chu Ning chuckled at this time and said:

"Of course I will come back. The clan leader taught me the Shadow Step, but I haven't returned the favor yet."

After saying that, Chu Ning took Shi Xuerong and walked down the mountain amidst Xie Xianhai's respectful farewell.

Xie Xianhai's actions naturally aroused the curiosity of Shi Xuerong and the rest of the Donglin tribe.

They all asked about this trip.

The Donglin tribe members secretly smacked their tongues when they heard about Chu Ning's strength.

Especially Xie Yong's eyes were vaguely shining.

When Shi Xuerong, who was walking down the mountain with Chu Ning, heard that Chu Ning actually killed the iron lion, her beautiful eyes suddenly widened.

"That's a late-stage Jindan monk!"

After hearing this, Chu Ning said with emotion:

"Yes, that's a late-stage Golden Core cultivator. If he weren't on this Soulless Island, it would be really difficult to kill him."

When saying this, Chu Ning's eyes flickered slightly.

He had used the Ice Soul Pearl to kill Ao Langtian before.

Iron Lion's strength was stronger than Ao Langtian's. If he were in a place with sufficient spiritual energy, he really wasn't sure he could kill his opponent.

As the iron lion was killed, the golden elixir monk who died in his hands had already come to the two of them.

At the same time, two monks who might have known about the golden spirit seed planted on him were also killed.

No one else should know about this, which would save him a lot of trouble.

If the golden spirit is planted in the hands of a late-stage golden elixir monk, then of course it will be.

If people knew that the golden spirit seed was actually in the body of a monk in the early stage of the golden elixir like him, I am afraid that those Nascent Soul monks might not be able to bear it.

Fortunately, I no longer have such worries.

The only thing to do is to see if we can get out from here.

Arriving at the foot of the stone, Chu Ning introduced Shi Feng and Shi Xuerong to each other.

Then he followed the former to the Boulder Tribe.

The Boulder Tribe is nearly three hundred miles away from the Donglin Tribe. If Chu Ning and the others go as fast as they do, they will naturally arrive very quickly.

But now that Shi Xuerong is added, it will inevitably be a little slower.

Fortunately, Shi Xuerong has also been tempered by the golden elixir after all, and is not an ordinary weak woman.

After walking for about a day, the group arrived at the Boulder Tribe.

The people of the Boulder Tribe were surprised when Shi Feng went out with Iron Lion, but when he turned around, he brought back two people from the island.

Moreover, Chu Ning was still a senior, and he was immediately surprised.

The stone peak did not disturb anyone too much. After entering the boulder tribe's station, they led Chu Ning directly to a separate stone cave.

“This is where the senior Qi Lihua who came to our Wuling Island thousands of years ago lived.

After our Megalithic Tribe occupied this place, we have been taking good care of it.

Except for the clan leader and some senior officials, no one else is allowed to enter.

Moreover, I lost interest in many of them after delving into them for a while. I rarely visit them, but the contents are relatively intact. "

With that said, the number one man on Wuling Island pushed open the stone door of the cave and walked in first.

Chu Ning and Shi Xuerong walked in.

It was soon discovered that the structure of this so-called stone cave was very similar to that of outside cultivators' caves.

The two couldn't help but look at each other.

Then his eyes fell on the extremely conspicuous lines of writing on the wall of the cave.

"My name is Qi Lihua, and I am a monk in the early stage of Yuanying in Taixu Pavilion in Beichuan Kingdom."

As soon as they saw the first paragraph of text on the wall, the two of them couldn't help but scream.

"This person turns out to be a Nascent Soul cultivator!"

This made Chu Ning's face look a little heavier.

The other party is the Nascent Soul cultivator, but he has been trapped here for hundreds of years.

Leaving this island is definitely not easy.

Without saying anything, Chu Ning continued to look down.

What was later recorded was some of the adaptation process of the Nascent Soul monk named Qi Lihua when he first came here.

Places such as Beast Crystal and Hundred Beast Mountain were also mentioned.

Chu and Ning were not very interested in this, so they looked faster.

"In the third year since I came to Wuling Island, I finally gained the trust of the Mengding tribe, the first tribe on Wuling Island, and they supported me in starting to truly search for a way to leave the island."

At this time, Qi Lihua's words were full of longing and hope, and what was recorded thereafter was the process of the Nascent Soul monk constantly searching for ways to leave the island.

The further he looked back, the more solemn Chu Ning's face became, because the other party tried many methods.

One of the records caught Chu Ning’s attention in particular.

"For several months, I asked the clan leader to kill several fourth-level monsters, hoping to use the skins of these monsters to make ships into the boundless sea.

However, it is useless. Whether it is made of ordinary trees or monster skins, the raft will sink as soon as it enters the boundless sea.

It is impossible for life to appear in the boundless sea. "

Although Chu Ning had read some records in the classics before, it was impossible for anything to float on this boundless sea.

But it wasn't really certain until this moment.

Afterwards, the monk kept trying.

Then Chu Ning saw a line of big characters.

"Ten years! In ten years, I traveled to every place on Wuling Island except the forbidden area of ​​Beast Mountain, and tried countless methods.

However, without any channels, my life span is less than a hundred years!

Perhaps, I can only die of old age on this Soulless Island, or... go break into the forbidden area of ​​Beast Mountain! "

Chu Ning and Shi Xuerong looked at each other, and they both felt the slightly desperate mood of the other person from the words of the former Yuanying senior monk.

"Is it possible that we also have to die alone here?"

Shi Xuerong murmured to himself at this moment.

Chu Ning did not answer the other party's words, but continued to look back.

"The forbidden land of Beast Mountain is not something I can enter without my magic power. The hurricane on it is similar to the power of space above the space crack.

Even Nascent Soul cultivators dare not touch this power of space easily, otherwise they will surely die.

After a space storm forms every six months or so, it may be my only chance..."

Chu Ning read the contents recorded here very carefully.

According to the other party's records, those monsters were actually swept out by the power of space.

At the same time, this kind of space power will also bring some monsters into the forbidden area of ​​Beast Mountain.

That's why higher-level monsters continue to appear in the forbidden area of ​​Beast Mountain.

And after several years of observation, this Yuanying monk also discovered some patterns.

After the space storm in the Beast Mountain Forbidden Land passes, the space power will be much weaker for about three days.

So, he prepared to break into the forbidden area of ​​​​the Beast Mountain.

But when the Yuanying monk found an opportunity to enter the forbidden area of ​​​​the Beast Mountain and was only less than a hundred feet away, he discovered that the power of the space was not something that his body could resist.

As a result, the Nascent Soul cultivator had to withdraw from the forbidden area of ​​Beast Mountain.

But after all, he was once a Yuanying monk and had extensive knowledge, so he came to a conclusion.

"If you have physical strength comparable to the Golden Core level, can you resist the power of space within three days?"

After seeing the inference of the Nascent Soul cultivator, Chu Ning's eyes suddenly became brighter.

He has the physical strength of the golden elixir level.

Immediately, he couldn't wait to continue looking back.

After leaving the forbidden area, this Nascent Soul monk began to try to refine his body.

It's just that his lifespan was too short. After spending more than twenty years, he found that even if his lifespan was exhausted, he still couldn't practice body refining to a level comparable to that of a golden elixir monk.

So, he once again chose to abandon this plan.

Instead, I chose to study other methods.

However, when Chu Ning continued to look down, she couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Use the beast crystal to restore mana!"

"What?"

Xuerong, the important master who was still reading the text in front of him, heard Chu Ning's words and immediately exclaimed.

The next moment, the two of them read this paragraph of text carefully at the same time.

"Ninety-five years after entering Wuling Island, after more than ninety years of research on beast crystals and weapons here, combined with what I learned during my lifetime in refining weapons, I finally developed a magical weapon that converts beast crystals into mana.

With the help of beast crystals from level three monsters and above, this magic weapon can subtly induce and restore the body's mana. This discovery made me ecstatic.

Even with my level of mana cultivation, I can only activate mana comparable to the third level of Qi Refining, and it only lasts for a few breaths.

But I seem to see a glimmer of hope. "

In the following text, he has been recording the process of researching and improving this magical instrument.

Until a text appears at the end.

"Five years! In five years, I only managed to reach the fourth level of Qi Refining by inducing my magic power, and then I could no longer advance further.

The time cannot exceed ten breaths. Such a short time and low mana cannot help me leave this place.

I'm going to die of old age here! "

After this sentence, there is no written record.

But he didn’t know whether this Yuanying monk had given up completely or whether his life span had reached its end.

After Chu Ning and Chu Ning finished reading, there was a faint light in their eyes.

Great harvest!

Just from the words carved on the wall by this Nascent Soul monk, the two of them gained a lot.

At this moment, Chu Ning quickly turned to look at Shi Feng, who had been standing not far away.

"Chief Shi, this senior left something behind during his lifetime. I wonder if he left it behind?"

Shi Feng seemed not surprised that Chu Ning and others asked this question, and immediately led Chu Ning and the others into a stone room.

Chu Ning and Shi Xuerong immediately walked in excitedly.

There was only one stone table in this stone room, but the several things placed on it gave both Chu Ning and Chu Ning a strong sense of familiarity.

I saw a storage bag placed on it, and beside it, there were various magic weapons, and even some jade bottles, jade boxes and the like.

Although the magic weapon of a Nascent Soul cultivator is still very attractive to Chu Ning and his two people under normal circumstances.

But at this moment, the two of them started looking for the magic weapon that this person said could be used to convert beast crystals to induce mana.

Both of them had a certain foundation in weapon refining, and they quickly found something that could be worn in their hands like an iron glove from a pile of magic weapons.

And on it, there is indeed something that is obviously inlaid with animal crystals.

On the side, there is even a small stone tablet with instructions for use recorded on it.

Immediately, Chu Ning inserted an earth-yellow beast crystal that he had obtained from the Hundred Beasts Mountain into it.

What just made Chu Ning's expression change slightly.

When Chu Ning put this iron glove into his hand and tried to activate the magic power, there was no reaction.

"Brother Chu, what's wrong? Is it useless?"

Seeing Chu Ning's expression, Shi Xuerong immediately asked nervously.

Chu Ning shook his head and frowned slightly.

Then he thought about it and asked Shi Feng:

"Chief Shi, do you have any other beast crystals here? Can you lend them to me?"

Shi Feng did not refuse, and immediately took out a few beast crystals and handed them to Chu Ning.

Chu Ning embedded fire and wood attribute beast crystals into it and tried again, but there was also no reaction.

At this moment, Shi Xuegong looked at the magic weapons and several pills on the side and said:

"Brother Chu, looking at the objects used by this senior, it seems to be more in line with the use of metallic skills and spells.

Could it be that the magical weapon he studied is only suitable for metal-based techniques? "

"Huh?" Chu Ning's heart moved when he heard this reminder from Master Xuerong.

"Master, you seem to have a metallic technique? But we don't seem to have metallic beast crystals here."

When Shi Xuerong heard this, he chuckled and said:

"Who said no? You forgot the necklace I gave you before."

Chu Ning also remembered at this time that the necklace was inlaid with various animal crystals, which seemed to be metallic.

He immediately took out the necklace from his arms.

Shi Xuerong took out a golden beast crystal and embedded it in the glove.

At the same time, he put on the glove in his hand with some curiosity.

Chu Ning was also looking at the other party expectantly at this moment.

The next moment, Shi Xuerong raised his hand slightly, and a light golden light immediately appeared on his fingertips.

"Mana!"

Seeing the metallic magic power in Shi Xuerong's hand, Chu Ning's eyes brightened.

At this moment, Shi Xuerong quickly patted the storage bag on his waist.

Suddenly, there was a bunch of things on the table.

But when she finished this scene, the mana on her fingertips disappeared instantly.

At the same time, the golden beast crystal embedded on it also turned into powder.

The time was indeed very short, but at this moment, it was enough for Chu Ning and Shi Xuerong to breathe a sigh of relief.

Chu Ning looked at the dazzling array of things on the table and took a spiritual stone first.

Then he shook his head and put the spiritual stone down.

He could feel the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone, but it was just like the mana in his body was imprisoned and could not be used.

The spiritual energy on the spiritual stone could not be activated.

"Although these spiritual stones cannot be used for the time being, there are still things in our storage bag that can be used.

If we can open the storage bag, we will have more hope.

As for what we may need, maybe we can only wait for me to go to the forbidden land of the beast mountain!"

Chu Ning pinched the spiritual stone in his hand and looked outside the stone cave.

In any case, they have seen some dawn at this moment.

Qi Lihua was saying that he had a physical strength comparable to that of a Jindan cultivator, which meant that he could resist the weakened spatial force.

Then he would naturally give it a try!
