Chapter 131: The Changes in the Cave Trial (Part 2)
After passing through the Stone Forest Canyon, Xiao Lin and the others suddenly saw a bright future.
A huge lake appeared in front of them. Looking over, they could not see the edge of it. In the very distant horizon, they could vaguely see a mountain that towered into the clouds.
The mountain only showed a corner of the horizon, and above the mountain, there was a faint blue glow that kept flickering.
"This is Fengbo Lake. After passing this Fengbo Lake, you will reach Scorpion Tail Mountain. The entrance to the second floor of the cave is on the top of the Scorpion Tail Mountain." Looking at the towering mountain on the horizon, Nangong Chen said slowly.
Several people also showed joy on their faces. The first floor of the cave will soon be passed. As long as they pass the second floor of the cave and enter the third floor, they will have the opportunity to pick the purple spirit flower. This naturally gave everyone infinite hope.
"It is not an easy thing to cross this Fengbo Lake." Wen Lu looked at the sparkling lake and said lightly.
"Fengbo Lake covers an area of 200 miles. There are many monsters living in the lake. It is not easy to fly over. Fortunately, there is a small rock reef every few to ten miles. Many of them are exposed above the water and can be used as stepping stones for a short rest." Nangong Chen said with a solemn face.
Xiao Lin looked at the calm lake in the distance and thought to himself that for a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, walking on water is not a difficult task, but if you encounter monsters during the journey, it is more dangerous in this cave with a no-fly ban. After all, it is not easy to maintain stability on the water while mobilizing mana.
At this time, Xiao Lin saw Nangong Chen slowly took out a mini boat with a faint green light from the storage bag. If it were not for the spiritual light on it, Xiao Lin would have thought it was a toy for secular children.
After taking out the boat, Nangong Chen slightly closed his eyes in the surprised eyes of everyone, and then muttered something. After a cup of tea, he gently threw the boat in his hand, and the boat quickly grew larger in the air. When it landed on the lake, it had turned into a wooden boat that was two meters long, and the surface of the wooden boat was covered with a layer of light green spiritual light shield.
"Flying magic weapon?" Seeing the boat, not only Xiao Lin, Bai Shuangzhi, Wu and He were surprised, but also Wen Lu, the outer disciple of Dancao Mountain, was surprised.
"This flying magic weapon is originally useless. In terms of speed, it is not as fast as the general flying sword flying magic weapon. In this cave, there is a no-fly ban, so this cloud light boat magic weapon can help us cross this Fengbo Lake." Nangong Chen smiled slightly and said softly.
"It seems that Brother Nangong has really put in a lot of effort for this cave trial." Wen Lu looked at Nangong Chen meaningfully and smiled.
"Brother Wen, you are too kind. We casual cultivators are not as good as the disciples of the sect. We have big families and big businesses, and we don't have to worry about our future. In comparison, we, the rootless duckweed, naturally have to think more."
"Let's go quickly. Look, many people have already walked ahead of us." Bai Shuangzhi glanced at the two of them and chuckled. She was also radiant. She stretched out her slender jade finger and pointed at the lake in the distance.
On the lake, there are indeed many cultivators who have begun to move towards the Scorpion Tail Mountain. There are also many ways to cross the lake. Some of them got a tree stump from somewhere, stepped on it, and poured the mana in their bodies into the stump to drive forward. Some stepped on a huge leaf, and the leaves sparkled. Some simply performed the wind control technique and stepped on the lake as if it were flat ground.
But there are also many cultivators who have boat-shaped magic tools similar to the one Nangong Chen took out, which are transformed into various wooden boats and driven forward.
Looking around, as far as they can see, there are at least hundreds of cultivators crossing Fengbo Lake, which is quite spectacular for a while. Although the purpose of the Qi Refining cultivators who come to this cave is different, most of them come for the Purple Spirit Flower, and naturally regard entering the third floor of the cave as their primary task. This makes Xiao Lin imagine the cruelty of the third floor of the cave. He can even see the scene of the third floor of the cave flowing like a river of blood.
"Fellow Daoist Bai is right. Although even if you enter the third floor of the cave in advance, you may not be able to find the Purple Spirit Flower first, and even if you find it, you may not be able to keep it, but it is always good to be one step ahead. Let's not delay, let's set off." After Nangong Chen said, he jumped up and jumped onto the deck of the boat by the lake. The moment he jumped onto the boat, the green light cover automatically opened a gap to let him enter, which was quite spiritual.
Xiao Lin and his companions naturally stopped delaying and jumped onto the deck. Wen Lu hesitated for a moment, then called out to the two people behind him, jumped up, and landed on the boat.
After getting on the boat, they each found a place to sit cross-legged. Since the boat was very small, there was no cabin or other interior room, so they naturally did not have the elegance of boating on the lake. During this rest time, they naturally chose to meditate to adjust their own magic power and spirit to the best state.
Nangong Chen stood at the bow, with his hands behind his back. The stern of the boat immediately raised a wave of spray, and then the boat was like an arrow from a bow, heading towards the direction of Scorpion Tail Mountain.
Xiao Lin found a remote corner, sat cross-legged, took a pill of Da Hui Yuan Dan, and quietly adjusted his breath. The mana consumed in the fight with the Fenying Python began to slowly recover.
"Ah~"
After driving for half an hour, suddenly, a shrill scream came from a distance. Everyone's face changed, and they stood up and looked into the distance.
Seeing the scene in the distance, several people turned pale. It turned out that a large group of monsters appeared a few miles ahead of their boat. Those monsters looked like fish, but they were covered with scales.
The tail was forked like two long rope darts. What was even more peculiar was that the head of this strange fish actually looked four or five points like a human, and on top of its head, there was a cluster of red hair the size of a palm.
What they saw was a dense mass of red spots, and the fish suddenly opened its mouth when it jumped up, which took up half of its face.
From a distance, it looked as if the face had been split in half by a knife, but the sawtooth fangs flashing with cold white light made all the cultivators who saw it feel cold in their hearts.
Xiao Lin and his companions saw a cultivator who was stepping on a leaf about a foot long, and was attacked by dozens of strange fish. He was dragged into the water before he could react, and then a shrill scream came out, shaking the lake.
Where he was standing originally, there was only a leaf with thousands of holes and light red blood coming out of the lake.
"Strange Face Needle Li?" Wen Lu couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw the strange fish, and Nangong Chen's face changed drastically after a little thought.
"Is it really the Weird Face Needle Li? Didn't they say that this monster has been extinct in Fengbo Lake? How come there are still so many of them?" Nangong Chen said with a pale face.
Wen Lu also had a gloomy look on his face. He stared at the large red light in the distance and said in a deep voice: "In the previous openings of the cave, no one had encountered this Weird Face Needle Li, so some people thought that this monster had been extinct. Now it seems that this monster is not only not extinct, but also surprisingly large in number. We are afraid that we are in danger."
Hearing this, Xiao Lin's heart sank. Wen Lu was an outer disciple of Dancao Mountain, and his cultivation had already entered the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage. He was probably a powerful figure among the outer disciples of Dancao Mountain. He said that he and his people were in danger, and he was afraid that the Weird Face Needle Li monster was really difficult to deal with.
After Wen Lu said the name of the monster, Bai Shuangzhi's pretty face turned pale and her eyes showed deep fear, as if she already knew the name of the monster. As for Wu and He, they were just like her, with blank faces, obviously not knowing anything about this strange-faced needle.
"Fellow Daoist Nangong, how powerful is this strange-faced needle? Judging from your expressions, it seems that you are quite afraid of this monster." The cultivator surnamed Wu couldn't help but raise the question first.
Hearing this, Nangong Chen glanced at the monk surnamed Wu, and then said with a heavy heart: "It is rumored that this strange-faced needle-li is a hybrid of the strange-faced fish in Fengbo Lake and the black poisonous flying scorpion in Scorpion Tail Mountain. However, this monster beast has inherited all the characteristics of these two monster beasts except that it did not inherit the ability of the black poisonous flying scorpion to fly."
After a pause, Nangong Chen continued: "This strange-faced needle-li, not only has an extremely hard scale armor, but also has a mouthful of serrated teeth, and it can bite anything. Even ordinary mid-level magic weapons cannot withstand a few bites from it. These are nothing. The most powerful thing is the tuft of red hair on its head and the two tail needles on its tail. The two tail needles contain It is highly toxic. Although it is less toxic than the black poisonous flying scorpion, even if a cultivator in the foundation-building stage is penetrated by it, his soul will be corroded within a few moments. It is extremely powerful. "
"But the most troublesome thing is the tuft of red hair on its head. In fact, it is not accurate to say that it is hair. It is more appropriate to say that it is a needle. The red hair is hundreds of wind-red needles with wind attributes. Once it is shot out, it is simply overwhelming, like a thousand arrows. Moreover, the poison on it is the same as the poison on the tail needle. It is specially used to corrode the human soul. The average cultivator has almost no time to save himself. "Wen Lu on the side took over Nangong Chen's words and explained.
After listening to the explanation of the two, Xiao Lin, Wu, and He all changed color. Just listening to the explanation of the two about this monster made the three of them feel numb. This monster has almost reached the level of "perfection".
Moreover, in Xiao Lin's opinion, this monster was obviously a social monster, and its level was at least high-level mortal. For cultivators like them who were eager to cross Fengbo Lake and enter the second level of the cave, it was simply an insurmountable gap.
