Chapter 173 The Vicious Beast Taotie, Swallowing the Sky and the Earth, the Water Virtue Star Sign, the Power of Huangquan
Although the three Golden Core monks from the Black Lotus Sect have been eliminated, this does not mean that Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye's mission has been completed.
Because their real purpose here is not to deal with Chou Niu and others, but to prevent the ferocious beast Taotie from breaking the seal.
Just looking at the soaring red light in the sealed land, Lu Chen really didn't know how to solve it for a while.
After all, although he knows a lot of things, he has never dabbled in formations.
Fortunately, the Three-Legged Golden Crow came up with a solution at this time.
"Brother Lu, Sister Mu, there are four statues of four elephants in this sealed place, and these four statues are the formation eyes of the sealed place."
"Although I don't know what those three demons did, I think the problem must be with the four-image statue."
"As long as we can find a way to repair these four statues, we can seal Taotie again."
"Judging from the current situation, part of Taotie's body should have broken out of the seal."
"So in addition to repairing the formation, we also need to deal with these Taotie clones that escaped."
"Otherwise, even if we repair the Four Elephants statue, we won't be able to completely seal it."
Hearing this, Lu Chen asked: "Then how do we repair these four elephant statues?"
The Three-Legged Golden Crow replied: "Just leave this to Di Ting. Its nine qi can imitate the power of fate of other mountain and sea beasts, including the Four Symbols."
"It's just that today's Diting can only imitate the power of fate of one mountain and sea beast at a time, and with the help of you outsiders, the power of fate of the Four Symbols is now among the highest in the world of mountains and seas."
"So it takes a while for Listening to prepare before you can imitate it."
"So during this period, we still need to protect Listening and not let it be affected."
Lu Chen was silent for a moment and then said, "Tell me about your plan."
The three-legged Golden Crow nodded and said seriously: "In my inherited memory, there are some memories of fighting Taotie."
"As far as I know, Taotie's destiny is to swallow heaven and earth, which means it can swallow all the energy in the world, so ordinary magic and magical powers are no threat to it."
"Unless your magical power prevents it from swallowing it all in a short period of time, or you have the physique to crush it, it will be very difficult to defeat it."
"The blood that is soaring into the sky right now is the result of Taotie's ferocious energy. From this, it can also be seen from the side that it should have devoured a lot of the spiritual power of the mountains and seas at this time, and its strength has been restored to a certain extent."
"Sister Mu and I will look for the escaped gluttonous souls and find a way to kill them, and we must be quick."
"Because those Taotie clones that have escaped can transform directly into Taotie's true form as long as they swallow enough energy, so they must not be given enough time."
"In addition, Taotie's body will not be willing to be sealed, so he will definitely try his best to resist. Therefore, staying in this sealed place is actually more dangerous."
"I didn't mean to leave dangerous matters to Brother Lu, but only you and Diting have the ability to repair the four elephant seals in a short time."
"so……"
"It's okay, just do as you say."
Lu Chen stood up and took the initiative to take on the most dangerous part of the seal this time.
Seeing this scene, Mu Xiaoye on the side said a little worriedly: "Xiao Lu, why don't we wait for other people from Shan Hai Division to come over? After all, I believe Shan Hai Division has definitely noticed the situation here."
Lu Chen knew that Mu Xiaoye said this not out of fear, but because he was worried about his own safety.
In response, Lu Chen said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will never do anything I'm not sure about. If there is really danger, I won't show off."
Hearing this, Mu Xiaoye stopped talking.
After all, she didn't really care what the consequences would be if Taotie broke the seal.
She only cares about Lu Chen's safety.
She doesn't care about justice or injustice, she only cares about the people she cares about.
In fact, Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye had similar ideas.
But the thing is just like what Lu Chen said, he never does anything he's not sure about.
With the talisman of the divine transformation stage, he was sure to escape unscathed if the situation got out of control.
Therefore, in order to give Mu Xiaoye some reassurance, Lu Chen asked the three-legged Golden Crow: "Golden Crow, Taotie who escaped from the seal, do you have the strength to deal with the monks in the transformation stage?"
"ah?!"
The three-legged golden crow was stunned.
After a moment, it seemed to have guessed something, and replied seriously: "The stage of transformation into gods is already the state where the body can be transformed into Tao. Taotie in its heyday is naturally not afraid, but now it has been sealed for a long time, and its strength has dropped to the bottom. "
"In addition, the entire mountain and sea world is actually built on the remains of Tai Sui. All the mountain and sea beasts living here will be suppressed by Tai Sui's power, and Taotie is no exception."
"So even if Taotie's body breaks out of the seal, it can only reach the strength of the Golden Core stage at most."
"If a monk in the transformation stage takes action, it will definitely not be able to withstand it."
"Brother Lu, you...have a method comparable to that of the God Transformation Stage?"
Lu Chen did not answer this question directly, but responded with silence.
But silence is sometimes an answer.
And knowing this, the Three-Legged Golden Crow's face instantly became relaxed.
"Then it seems that things are simple this time, Sister Mu, let's act quickly?"
Mu Xiaoye glanced at the three-legged golden crow, and then glanced at Lu Chen, who had a calm expression.
She nodded seriously, indicating that she would follow the plan of the Three-Legged Golden Crow.
But before leaving, Mu Xiaoye still said seriously: "Xiao Lu, if there is danger, leave as soon as possible."
"Even if the sky falls, there will be tall people holding it up. It's not our turn yet."
"Do not worry."
After hearing this, Mu Xiaoye finally stopped hesitating.
With the three-legged Golden Crow, he chased in a direction outside the valley.
Because just when she was fighting Wei Yang.
She noticed some monsters with goat bodies and human faces, eyes under their armpits, and tiger teeth and human claws rushing out of the valley.
It's just that because she was focused on Weiyang at the time, she didn't have the energy to care about these guys.
There is no doubt that those monsters should be the clones released by Taotie.
Right now, she and the Three-Legged Golden Crow must deal with these guys as soon as possible before they devour other spiritual beasts and regain their strength.
Otherwise, it will not be easy to deal with these guys if we let them run around in the mountains and seas.
However, the number of these guys who just ran out was not large, only dozens.
And their strength is also very average, most of them are only in the Qi training period.
As long as she and the three-legged Golden Crow are fast enough, they should be able to deal with them quickly.
But this requires them to race against time.
After understanding this, Mu Xiaoye immediately let the three-legged golden crow lead him and chased after the Taotie clones who escaped.
At the same time, Lu Chen also entered the Taotie Sealed Land.
Different from the area where he fought with Chou Niu, Wu Ma and others before, they were only on the periphery of the sealed valley at that time.
This time, he entered directly into the hinterland of the Sealed Land.
And just after Lu Chen walked into the core of this sealed place, what he saw was the corpses of a large number of Taotie clones.
As well as a large number of gluttonous clones lying on these corpses, constantly devouring other corpses of the same kind.
Seeing this, Lu Chen suddenly understood that Chou Niu and others had been staying here.
In addition to preventing others from destroying their plans, they are also limiting Taotie's strength.
After all, they want to release Taotie.
But we don't dare to really let Taotie go out unscrupulously. We must limit its strength to a certain level so that it can be easily controlled.
Thinking about it carefully, in the eyes of a ferocious beast like Taotie, all righteous and evil ways are the same, they are just its food.
It doesn't care who released it, it will eat whatever it sees!
So Chou Niu and others wanted to ensure that the situation would not get out of control.
They must strictly control the number of Taotie clones in the valley.
As for the large number of Taotie clone corpses currently piled up in the valley, it was probably the work of Ugly Niu and the others.
However, the appearance of Lu Chen and others undoubtedly broke this balance.
This also prevents the Taotie clones that appear later from being killed immediately.
As a result, many new Taotie clones ran out, and some even rushed out of the valley.
Seeing Lu Chen's appearance, these gluttonous clones all rushed forward as if they had seen some delicious food.
[Name: Taotie (Clone)]
[Cultivation: Qi training period ~ foundation building period]
[Fate: Swallow the sky and eat the earth]
[Description: Gouwu Mountain has many jade on the top and copper on the bottom. There is a beast, its shape is like a sheep's body and a human face, its eyes are under the armpits, it has tiger teeth and human claws, and its voice is like that of a baby. It is called gluttonous, and it is a cannibal."
Lu Chen snorted coldly as he saw dozens of Taotie ranging from Qi training stage to foundation building stage rushing towards him.
The next second, a huge ink dragon appeared behind Lu Chen.
"Roar!"
With the roar of Molong, it swept directly towards those gluttons.
And faced with the strange ink mist surrounding Mo Long.
Not only did these gluttonous clones have no effect, they actually started eating them in big gulps.
With the entrance of these ink mist, some Taotie clones in the Qi training period actually began to grow stronger.
The rapid improvement in strength even surprised Lu Chen.
But at this level, it still cannot pose a threat to Lu Chen's Molong.
Molong rushed into the group of Taotie, and every attack could take away the lives of a large number of Taotie clones.
Not long after, the originally dense group of gluttons turned into corpses on the ground.
But Molong didn't stop there, but looked somewhere.
In the valley, there were four huge statues of four elephants.
Lu Chen had seen a similar scene in Luocheng No. 1 Middle School.
At this time, among the four statues, the statue that symbolized Xuanwu was not only full of cracks, but also had the most gluttonous clones lying on it constantly eating.
Fortunately, this Xuanwu statue seems to have some countermeasures.
Constantly absorbing the spiritual power of the ground to maintain the emerald green barrier around it.
It's just that Taotie seems to be born to be the nemesis of other living beings.
The Xuanwu statue's protective barrier is not a problem at all for these greedy gluttons.
It only takes a few bites to create a gap.
Then he bit off a piece from the Xuanwu statue.
Although the situation of the other three four-image statues is better than that of the Xuanwu statue.
But the good ones are also very limited.
Because their statue bodies have also been cannibalized to varying degrees.
If no one intervenes, it will only be a matter of time before they are eaten up by the Taotie clones.
In addition, the most turbulent place in the entire sealed land is the formation area in the center.
At the center of the Four Elephants statue, a crack leading directly to the underground prison appeared in front of Lu Chen.
The crack was not big, only about ten meters wide.
And the sealing power kept emerging, trying to fill the crack.
It was just the clones of Taotie that kept running out of the hole in the crack, which stopped the sealing process.
From a glimpse of the leopard, although it was only the clones of Taotie that came out at the moment.
But Lu Chen could already imagine what would happen if the real Taotie ran out of the sealed place.
They were like locusts, eating whatever they saw.
Once these guys were allowed to come back to the world, it would undoubtedly be a huge disaster for the whole world.
They are worthy of the famous four evils, and their reputation is well-deserved.
"Listen, it's time to work."
After Lu Chen gave a sentence, he took a step and walked towards the direction of the Xuanwu statue.
The next second, a huge lotus covered the surroundings of the sealed place.
Sword Domain... Haoran Qinglian!
Almost at the same time when Lu Chen's sword domain was displayed, a large number of Taotie clones rushed out from the crack and rushed towards Lu Chen fearlessly.
In response, Lu Chen didn't even do anything, countless lotus sword energy fell from the sky and passed through the bodies of these Taotie.
Swish, swish, swish...
With the sword energy passing through, the sealed place at the moment seemed to have turned into a huge meat grinder.
A large number of Taotie clones fell every minute and every second.
Not only that, the spiritual power of these Taotie after they fell would also be fed back to Lu Chen's sword domain to make up for Lu Chen's consumption.
Although the Taotie clones fell like wheat one by one, they seemed to be vulnerable.
But the expression on Lu Chen's face did not become relaxed at all.
Because he could feel that there seemed to be a certain existence in the crack that was constantly plundering the surrounding spiritual power in a whale-like manner.
Even Lu Chen, who had the immortal lotus embryo, could not completely stop this.
He could only suppress it with the power of the sword domain and reduce the speed at which it absorbed the spiritual power of heaven and earth.
There is no doubt that the one who devoured the spiritual power of heaven and earth was the Taotie itself.
Perhaps it sensed Lu Chen's trouble.
A roar came from the underground prison of the crack.
Crack, crack...
Soon, a heart-pounding chewing sound came from the underground prison under the crack.
It seemed that something was constantly gnawing.
Soon, a pair of huge claws stretched out from the crack.
And after the claws touched the sealing power around the crack, they immediately made a sizzling sound like frying.
Soon, Lu Chen saw a huge monster barely opening the crack and revealing half of its body.
As soon as this monster appeared, a terrifying pressure spread throughout the scene.
Even Lu Chen, who had experienced many battles, felt a terrifying sense of oppression from this monster at this time.
Because this monster is the real body of Taotie.
Seeing this, Lu Chen knew that he had to take real action.
Because the real body of Taotie is not those clones that can be easily dealt with.
It is a real ancient beast.
And Taotie and those who walk in the mountains and seas are not restricted by any oath of heaven, and can only fight with the same cultivation as them.
At this time, the real body of Taotie has reached the perfection of the foundation building period.
As long as a period of time passes, it will be able to reach the golden elixir stage.
If it really reaches the golden elixir stage, Lu Chen is not completely sure that he can defeat it.
Unless he uses the precious talisman of the transformation stage.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen said to Di Ting beside him with a serious face: "I will try my best to buy you time, you fix the formation as soon as possible."
"Understood!"
Di Ting also knew the seriousness of the matter at this time, so he immediately rushed towards the nearest four-elephant statue.
Seeing this scene, Taotie opened his mouth immediately.
The next second, a terrifying blood-red energy ball gathered in its mouth.
And shot towards Di Ting.
But before this terrifying blood-red energy ball hit Di Ting, Lu Chen had already stood in front of Di Ting.
Then, a huge blue star appeared behind Lu Chen.
Five virtues star... Water!
The special feature of the water virtue star is that it can give Lu Chen a terrifying spiritual power recovery speed.
But this is just an ordinary star.
You must know that before Lu Chen built his foundation, he made all the five elements undergo a qualitative change.
Therefore, his star power actually has a qualitative change form.
And the water virtue star corresponds to the original "Forget River Curse".
That is... the power of Huangquan.
Accompanied by a breath of death released from Lu Chen.
The huge water virtue star immediately turned into a yellowish earth color.
Not only that, the flesh and blood on the star's face began to fall off continuously, and soon turned into a half-body skeleton.
Facing the blood-red energy ball released by Taotie, the white-bone star directly raised his hand.
The next second, a stream of Yellow Spring water rushed up to the sky and directly swallowed up the blood-red energy ball of Taotie without causing any movement.
It was as if nothing had happened.
Taotie seemed a little surprised about this, his eyes were full of astonishment, and he didn't understand what happened.
Lu Chen stood under the Water Virtue Star·Yellow Spring and explained calmly: "Yellow Spring, which can accommodate thousands of souls, can naturally accommodate your greed... right?"
