Chapter 121 Cave Trial (I)

"The entrance to the cave has been opened. You can go in." Shangguan Jinluan's voice sounded like thunder in the sky, and then shook the valley.

After this avalanche, many cultivators who were originally buried in the snow also revealed their figures. Xiao Lin roughly estimated that there were at least tens of thousands of Qi Refining cultivators gathered in this valley. Although he had prepared a little before coming, Xiao Lin's face became solemn when he saw so many people participating in the cave trial.

Many Qi Refining cultivators, some of them had solemn expressions on their faces like Xiao Lin, while others were excited, as if the opportunity in front of them was within their reach. Some were worried, and even had hesitation in their eyes, as if they were considering whether to enter.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Lin used the Wind Control Technique and flew towards the dark light circle on the mountain peak. Before him, countless cultivators who were close to the light circle had already stepped into it. Almost in the blink of an eye, there were more than a hundred cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage who entered it.

Xiao Lin did not want to fall behind, so he followed dozens of people and climbed halfway up the mountain. He plunged into the light circle without thinking.

His eyes went dark, and Xiao Lin felt dizzy. He was shocked and hurriedly concentrated and calmed down, but before he could do anything, his eyes lit up. When he saw everything clearly, he couldn't help but exclaimed.

Xiao Lin was surprised to find himself in a primeval forest. The trees here were so big that several people could hug them, and the ground was covered with vines. These vines were entwined with the towering ancient trees, almost wrapping them up completely. Such scenery was not hard to see in the Tianlu Mountains. What surprised Xiao Lin was that the spiritual energy here was very rich. In comparison, even the Xueling Fairy City built on a medium-sized spiritual vein was far inferior.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Lin felt refreshed. He was sure that practicing here would not be slower than practicing with a low-grade spiritual stone. I am afraid that practicing here for one day would be enough to equal three or five days outside.

This surprised him inexplicably. His cultivation level was just a little short of reaching the peak of the seventh level of Qi Refining. If he could concentrate on practicing here, with the help of the Shuiling Pill in the storage bag, he would have a good chance of reaching the eighth level of Qi Refining.

However, Xiao Lin suppressed this thought as soon as it came up. He knew that now was not the time to practice meditation. Not far from him, many figures had appeared. Looking around, it was unknown how big this primitive forest was, but there were quite a few Qi Refining cultivators coming in, so it was still a high probability that he would run into someone. Moreover, in this cave, even a former friend could become a fierce enemy.

With a thought, nine shields gleaming with crystal green light condensed around Xiao Lin, looming around him. In this cave, he could not be careless at all, so Xiao Lin sacrificed the Void Spirit Shield at the beginning. After doing all this, he did not rush to leave, but flew to the trunk of a big tree and quietly observed the movements around him.

Before entering, Xiao Lin knew that he couldn't control weapons in this cave, and the reason why he couldn't control weapons here seemed to be different from that in Wanli Snowfield. In Xiao Lin's opinion, this cave should have been banned from flying. Once the control weapon left the ground for more than 20 feet, he would feel a huge pressure coming down from the sky, directly knocking the cultivator to the ground.

Xiao Lin was not interested in trying it out. He stood on the branch of the towering ancient tree, looking far away, looking for the direction. At this time, several cultivators were gathered together not far away to discuss something. Xiao Lin glanced at them, but there was no reaction. There were at least three waves of people within a hundred feet around him. I think they would not attack him rashly as soon as they entered the cave without actual conflicts of interest.

However, Xiao Lin did not relax his vigilance because of this. The Seven Blades Slash was already in his hand. As long as someone had bad intentions towards him, he would definitely take the initiative and fight back.

The three cultivators on Xiao Lin's left gathered together to discuss. One of them leaped into the air and leaped towards an ancient tree. He was so fast that he flew to the top of the tree in a short while. Then he looked around, as if he was looking for the direction like himself.

This cave has three floors. The first floor has the lowest risk factor. There are many maps of the first floor for sale in Xueling Fairy City. When strolling in Xueling Fairy City, Xiao Lin bought at least ten jade slips recording the maps of the first floor and studied them carefully.

There are no purple spirit flowers on the first floor of this cave, so no one wants to stay on this floor. They all want to enter the next floor in the shortest time. The second floor is different. Purple spirit flowers may grow in several extremely dangerous places. The three people obviously don't intend to entangle on this floor. One of them stands on the treetop and observes the direction.

Suddenly, a huge black shadow flashed by from the side and flew through the air. The monk standing on the treetop had already raised a shield that was flashing with a hazy yellow light before jumping onto the treetop. Xiao Lin could tell at a glance that the shield was a mid-level magic weapon.

When the black shadow flew through the air, the monk reacted very quickly. With one hand, the yellow shield blocked him. However, he obviously underestimated the power of the black shadow. The violent collision made a "clang" sound of metal. Then the monk screamed and fell down from the air. He landed heavily on the ground and spit out blood before fainting.

Xiao Lin was shocked. Not only him, but also the monk's two companions were shocked. Their faces showed horror. The monk who fainted was covered with broken pieces of magic tools. The intermediate magic tool was actually broken by the black shadow.

"It's... it's a great perfection level monster." Although there were dozens of feet between them, the exclamation of the fellow cultivator still fell into Xiao Lin's ears. When the black shadow flew by just now, Xiao Lin only had a quick glance and didn't see the whole appearance of the monster, but he could generally see that it was a monster similar to a giant eagle, with a body length of three or four feet, and the wingspan was probably about five feet.

In particular, the pair of eagle claws that grabbed the shield of the fainted cultivator actually emitted a blazing silver light. Just a glance, Xiao Lin knew that the pair of giant claws was definitely not inferior to a high-level magic weapon.

Xiao Lin was quite surprised to see a mortal-level great perfection monster on the first floor. He originally wanted to jump onto the treetop to check the direction, but his cautious nature made him choose the branches. Although standing on the branches, the vision in the distance was quite obstructed, but this towering ancient tree was one of the taller ones that Xiao Lin was looking for, and he could barely distinguish the direction.

After the attack, no one around chose to jump onto the treetops to check the direction. Instead, like Xiao Lin, they all found an old tree that was tall enough, hid between the branches, and then looked into the distance to identify the direction.

After half an hour, Xiao Lin retracted his gaze, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. According to the map of the first floor, his current location should be Feimang Forest. Feimang Forest is relatively less dangerous and is located in the middle and north of the first floor. Now Xiao Lin finally understood that the dark vortex was indeed random when it teleported many cultivators into the cave. However, there is one thing Xiao Lin can be sure of, that is, although the teleportation is random, the location will only be on the first floor of this cave.

Some cultivators with good luck, if they are directly randomly transported to the entrance of the second floor, can basically enter the second floor without any danger. Of course, there are naturally bad luck with good luck. The first floor of this cave is inhabited by countless monsters. Once they are teleported into the monster's lair, even if they are cultivators who have reached the great perfection of the Qi Refining Stage, the probability of survival is really not high.

The surrounding waves of cultivators had obviously observed the direction of the second floor entrance, and they all jumped up and flew towards the depths of Feimang Forest.

Xiao Lin did not move. Although the Feimang Forest was relatively less dangerous, it did not mean that it was really safe. Moreover, the cultivator who drew the map of the first floor only drew the route he walked. Although he could pass through the Feimang Forest safely, it did not mean that there was no danger. After all, if he encountered danger, he would probably die and could not go out to draw a map.

Those waves of cultivators obviously entered the cave in the form of a team. This method was very common. Xiao Lin even planned to use this method at the beginning, but after careful consideration, he gave up this idea and planned to enter the cave alone, and move alone in the cave without traveling with others.

As for the reason, it is not difficult to guess. You should know that the purpose of the Qi Refining cultivators participating in this cave trial is to pick a purple spirit flower. Before the purple spirit flower is discovered, there is naturally no conflict between the cultivators in the team. In addition to guarding against the evil hands of malicious people, they can also unite to fight against monsters or cultivators with bad intentions, and the chance of survival will naturally increase greatly.

Once the purple spirit flower is discovered, this team will appear to be more vulnerable. The teammates who previously fought against the strong enemy may become mortal enemies in an instant. It is not certain when a magic weapon will fly from their side and kill them.

For this kind of fearful trial method, Xiao Lin believes that he has no interest in it. Instead, he would rather take more risks and act alone. Of course, many Qi Refining cultivators who entered this cave trial, except for those who formed a team, basically have the same idea as Xiao Lin.

After sensing that several groups of people around him had left, Xiao Lin jumped down from the ancient tree, holding the Seven Blades in his hand. Nine faint emerald green shields were floating around him. Xiao Lin used the wind control technique to follow those groups of people and flew towards the depths of the Feimang Forest.
