Chapter 128: Cave Trial (VIII)
"What do you think, Fellow Daoist Bai?" Nangong Chen looked at Bai Shuangzhi again.
Bai Shuangzhi hesitated a little when she heard this, and then she said, "I think we should take action. We have only walked less than one-third of the Stone Forest Canyon, and we don't know how many shadow pythons are left behind. Although we entered the cave for the Purple Spirit Flower, before entering the third floor, we are still fellow Daoists, and we should not watch our fellow Daoists being hunted by monsters and not help them."
"Fellow Daoists, there are only two of these shadow pythons, which seem to be more than a dozen. The greatest strength of this shadow python is that it can split six of its own shadows, and it can almost be mistaken for the real thing, attacking It seems like they are overwhelming, but in fact, there are only two or four of them that are a real threat to us. "
"The black flames they spray are secondary. As long as you use magic power to protect your whole body, it will be basically fine. The only thing that gives me a headache is the blood-transforming venom sprayed from the other head. No matter how powerful the magic weapon is, once it is sprayed with venom, it will lose its spiritual power. Only fire magic can restrain it. "
The Qi Refining Stage Great Perfection cultivator in Dancao Mountain also heard the discussion of several people. In order to strengthen their confidence, he directly told them the secrets he discovered when fighting with the Shadow Python.
Hearing this, the hesitation on Nangong Chen's face disappeared. He seemed to have made up his mind. He looked at Wu and He and said, "If it was on the third floor of the cave, I would definitely not intervene, but on the first and second floors of the cave, one more person means one more force. You two fellow Taoists also know that the reason why the cave trial is cruel is mainly due to the large number of monsters on the first and second floors."
"In the end, less than half of the cultivators can successfully enter the third floor of the cave, so before entering the cave, we still have to help each other and overcome difficulties together. There are three Dancao If the three disciples from Dancao Mountain join us, the chances of passing the second floor will increase a lot. "
"As long as you and I kill these two shadow pythons together, we are willing to team up with you and work together to enter the third floor of the cave. If you can get the purple spirit flower, if you join our Dancao Mountain in the future, we will take care of you." Although the three were still struggling, one of them was already showing signs of failure. Once that person was defeated and fell, there would be a fatal loophole in the defense of the three, and the fall of the other two would only be a matter of time.
If Xiao Lin was alone, he would naturally not care about that, but it was different when he was with Nangong Chen and the others. He couldn't give everyone a thorny image. Besides, if the three outer disciples of Dancao Mountain could really join their team, it would really help them pass the second floor of the cave smoothly. As for what they said about taking care of one or two in the sect, he ignored it directly. He had no interest in such a big pie that he could see but could not eat.
"Since Fellow Daoist Bai and Fellow Daoist Xiao have agreed to help, what do you two think?" Nangong Chen once again cast his gaze towards the two cultivators Wu and He, his face becoming somewhat gloomy.
Although the cooperation between cultivators is usually based on interests, since they have formed a team, there must always be someone to make the decision. If everyone holds their own opinions, there is no way to cooperate at all. Therefore, the attitudes of Wu and He have made Nangong Chen somewhat dissatisfied.
Wu and He looked at each other after hearing this. The monk surnamed Wu showed an embarrassed look on his face, and then smiled and said, "Although we don't agree with meddling in other people's business, we still follow the lead of Fellow Daoist Nangong. We just need to obey Fellow Daoist Nangong's orders."
After hearing this, Nangong Chen's expression eased. He nodded and said, "In that case, let's take action. Fellow Daoist He and I will attack one of the split-shadow pythons head-on, while Fellow Daoist Bai, Brother Xiao and Fellow Daoist Wu will assist in the attack from the side, and try to kill or severely injure a split-shadow python in the shortest time."
After allocating the attack plan, Nangong Chen raised the mountain-splitting axe in his hand, and the huge axe suddenly emitted a golden spiritual light, wrapping the entire axe body.
At the same time, he began to recite an obscure and lengthy spell. As the sound of the spell disappeared, a light golden spiritual armor appeared on the surface of his body, which was surprisingly a primary magic golden body armor.
Although he was somewhat reluctant, Fellow Daoist He did not refute Nangong Chen again. He gently waved the black dragon-headed cane in his hand, which suddenly grew two feet larger again, and was already four feet long, as thick as an arm.
At the same time, he slapped the storage bag on his waist, and a silver-white shield with a faint green light floated out of it. After growing to more than one foot long, it circled around his body and floated slowly.
Bai Shuangzhi and the monk surnamed Wu also sacrificed defensive magic weapons. Bai Shuangzhi sacrificed a piece of emerald green jade plate with a faint green light, and the monk surnamed Wu sacrificed a triangular copper shield.
As for Xiao Lin, he did not sacrifice the green gold shield. After all, he was already surrounded by the virtual Yuan spirit shield, and this time he was mainly assisting from the side, so there was no need to wrap himself like a turtle shell.
As soon as they sacrificed the magic weapon, Nangong Chen shouted loudly, leaped into the air, and the giant axe in his hand flashed a huge golden axe shadow, slashing towards a split shadow python.
The Shadow Python glanced at Nangong Chen with its triangular eyes, then slightly twisted its huge body and dodged away. Its speed was extremely fast. Nangong Chen's face changed slightly, as if he was surprised by the Shadow Python's quick reaction.
"Boom." The axe shadow directly chopped on a stone forest several feet high, and the rock suddenly broke into pieces and exploded.
At the same time, seven of the dozen split-shadow pythons suddenly locked their eyes on Nangong Chen, and the seven fourteen heads spit out black flames and smelly green venom at Nangong Chen at the same time.
This scared Nangong Chen. The attack of seven split-shadow pythons with fourteen heads was like an overwhelming scene. The momentum alone was enough to scare an ordinary cultivator.
"There are actually only two split-shadow pythons. Each split-shadow python can split into six clones. The attacks of the clones are fake and will not cause any real damage." The outer disciple of Dancao Mountain who had been greatly relieved of the pressure on the side saw Nangong Chen's pale face and hurriedly said loudly.
Nangong Chen naturally knew that this split shadow python was good at splitting and creating phantoms, but he didn't dare to risk his life to verify which one was real and which one was fake. If it was fake, it would be a false alarm at most. If it was real, facing the bone-penetrating black flames and blood-transforming venom that could freeze people into ice sculptures, even with the protection of the golden body armor, he was not sure that he could withstand it.
But facing the black flames and green venom under the large cover, it was impossible to dodge. He could only choose to bear it helplessly, and he was still praying in his heart not to touch the real one.
Bai Shuangzhi's pretty face was solemn beside her. The small bell in her hand floated in the air with a crisp sound of "ding ling ling", and then shot a sound wave from it, attacking the dozen split shadow pythons. This strange bell turned out to be a rare group attack sound wave magic weapon.
Under the vibration of the sound wave, one of the seven split-shadow pythons attacking Nangong Chen paused slightly, and a bit of solemnity appeared in its triangular eyes, but these slight changes were immediately seen by Nangong Chen, and he was overjoyed.
With a slight shake of his body, he dodged the attack of the split-shadow python, but even though he knew that the split-shadow python attacking him was just an illusion, he still didn't dare to do nothing, but blocked the giant axe in front of him.
Sure enough, the large piece of black flames and green venom, although there was no difference between the real thing and the real thing in the five senses, when it fell on Nangong Chen, it melted immediately like ice and snow meeting fire, and directly passed through Nangong Chen's body and disappeared.
"Don't stop the sound waves of Brother Bai." Seeing this, Nangong Chen showed a look of surprise on his face, and raised the giant axe in his hand again, and chopped at the real split-shadow python.
The monk surnamed He was not idle either. The black dragon-headed cane in his hand flew up, and with a large piece of green light, it smashed towards the split-shadow python locked by Nangong Chen.
"Be careful, this split-shadow python can switch between reality and illusion." The outer sect disciple of Dancao Mountain who had reached the great perfection of Qi training shouted when he saw this.
Nangong Chen was slightly startled, but he and the monk surnamed He had already launched their attacks, and it was naturally impossible to retract them. The huge axe shadow and the dragon-headed cane smashed fiercely on the two heads of the split-shadow python.
The four triangular eyes of the split-shadow python actually revealed a cunning light. Immediately afterwards, Nangong Chen and the monk surnamed He were surprised to feel that their attacks seemed to hit the air without any force. The feeling of punching into cotton made the mana in the two people's bodies roll.
At the same time, they instinctively felt the danger, and the seven split-shadow pythons launched an overwhelming attack on the two again.
Xiao Lin on the side did not make a move, but stared at the split-shadow python with burning eyes. The difficulty of the split-shadow python lies in that you cannot distinguish which one is the real one and which one is the phantom. The attack from the phantom is the same as the real one, whether in terms of momentum or the smell of venom. As long as it does not really attack the cultivator, it is impossible to distinguish the real from the fake.
Even if there is a 6/7 chance of dodging the attack every time, if it continues like this, the probability will be greatly reduced. Basically, one out of six or seven attacks will be real. Facing the cold black flames and the blood-transforming venom that can corrode the cultivator's magic weapon, it will be very troublesome once attacked.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin's heart moved slightly, and then the fire in his eyes flashed. Six dark red head-sized fireballs appeared about a foot above his palm. The fireballs exuded a hot breath, making the air around them begin to trance.
"Silent-level primary spell, Fireball?" Bai Shuangzhi exclaimed, and couldn't help but look at Xiao Lin for a second. In her mind, it was incredible that Xiao Lin, who was at the seventh level of Qi Refining, could actually cultivate a primary spell to the silent level.
Although she herself accidentally got a high-level material for refining magic weapons, and sold tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones at once, and used these spirit stones to buy spirit pills for cultivation, she had the current level of cultivation, but she knew very well that even if she had tens of thousands of spirit stones, she could only cultivate one or two primary spells to the silent level at most.
This made her curious about Xiao Lin. She really didn't know how this casual cultivator who was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining could cultivate a primary spell to the silent level.
