Chapter 775 Xiao Hei's Merit
"Brother Xiao is well-informed and knows about the Fiery Flame Bead. In this case, there is no need for Ruohan to explain it more."
This Fiery Flame Bead is not a very rare thing. It is a magic weapon refined by a cultivator. This Fiery Flame Bead has only one function, which is to contain the power of fire in advance. At the critical moment, it can be detonated with a thought, thus turning into a sea of fire.
Moreover, once the Fiery Flame Bead is detonated, the power of the fire it triggers is enough to flatten a small city, but it is also quite consuming to fill the Fiery Flame Bead with fire, and in the process of filling it, you must be extremely careful and not be careless.
Otherwise, once it explodes, the caster will also be deeply harmed.
When Shui Ruohan took out the Fiery Flame Bead, Xiao Lin understood her intention, which was to let him inject the flames of the Six Explosion Flame Techniques into it in advance to attract a large number of soul-eating ghosts in the Ghost Valley.
At the moment they gathered, the Fiery Flame Bead was detonated to kill all the soul-eating ghosts in one fell swoop.
There are certain risks in doing this. The timing is very important. If there is a slight miscalculation, you may even lose yourself.
However, apart from this, the only thing left is to return to the canyon and choose a new passage. However, in Xiao Lin's opinion, the other passages may not be safer than the passage chosen by the two.
Rather than doing this, it is better to go all out and take some risks.
Taking the Fiery Flame Orb from Shui Ruohan, Xiao Lin found a clean open space, sat down cross-legged, and uttered an obscure formula. The Fiery Flame Orb also began to float up and flashed to the air several feet away in front of Xiao Lin, emitting white spiritual light and turning into a light circle several feet in size.
Xiao Lin pointed with one hand, and two lavender fireballs suddenly appeared in front of him. The fireballs rotated rapidly and soon grew to a size of several feet, and then turned into two streams of light, shooting towards the Fiery Flame Orb.
It was very strange. The six-way blasting fireball shot into the light circle and immediately shrank rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it merged into the light circle and disappeared without a trace.
Xiao Lin took a deep breath, mobilized the magic power in his dantian again, and continued to perform the six-way blasting fire.
Since Xiao Lin practiced the illusionary art of the dark space taught to her by the Fairy Yeyue, she would practice two intermediate spells through this small spiritual art every day when she was meditating and resting. Now the six-way blasting fire is very close to perfection.
Xiao Lin believed that if he was given ten or twenty years, he would be able to practice this intermediate spell to perfection, and then the six-way blasting fire would also usher in earth-shaking changes.
Two days passed quickly.
The blazing fire bead in front of Xiao Lin had already turned blood red, and a burning flame was surrounding the surface, and a burst of amazing scorching breath spread out.
As Xiao Lin breathed a sigh of relief and opened his eyes, Shui Ruohan smiled on her pretty face.
Xiao Lin waved his sleeves, and the Fiery Flame Orb flew to his palm, where he collected it.
"With this Fiery Flame Orb filled with flame power, I can injure Brother Xiao's thousands of flame spirit insects. I think the Soul Devouring Ghost will not be able to fight back at all."
Xiao Lin was very cautious. This Soul Devouring Ghost was a monster from the Netherworld. Although it was only a monster of the lowest level, it was good at attacking the souls of cultivators and basically ignored all attacks from magic weapons.
For such a monster, it would be very troublesome if it got close to them.
After making preparations, the two continued to fly forward and disappeared in the vast swamp in the blink of an eye.
After flying for several hours, a dark river several feet wide appeared in front of the two, and Xiao Lin always had a very strange feeling when he saw the river.
The river surface was not rippled at all, just like dead water.
Shui Ruohan also showed a puzzled look on her pretty face.
"Why is there a river here?"
"Is there no record of this river in the map you got?" Xiao Lin was slightly stunned when he heard this and asked.
Shui Ruohan shook his head: "It's really strange. According to the record in the map, after passing the swamp, you should enter the Ghost Valley. After passing the Ghost Valley and passing through a mountain range, you can reach Xiaoming Palace, but there has never been a record of such a river from beginning to end."
The two came to the river a few feet away and did not dare to get too close.
This river water always gave Xiao Lin a strange feeling. He even thought of the legendary Huangquan in Xiaosenluo Realm, but the river water in front of him was pitch black, and there was no similarity with the legendary Huangquan.
After a while, Xiao Lin's mind moved, and dozens of red light spots flew out of the beast ring on his waist. They were dozens of true-level soul-eating fire poisons.
Driven by Xiao Lin's divine thoughts, these dozens of soul-eating fire poisons flew towards the table.
Just after flying out for more than ten feet, it suddenly seemed to be pulled by some force and fell towards the river. Although the dozen soul-devouring fire insects struggled desperately, they still could not escape the suction force. In an instant, they were pulled into the river and disappeared without a trace.
Xiao Lin and Shui Ruohan looked at each other, and saw horror in each other's eyes.
"Is this the legendary weak water?" After a moment, Xiao Lin's eyes lit up and he spoke.
Weak water is a kind of water in the legend. Weak water is condensed through sacrifice, and the three thousand weak waters, Tianyi divine water, and Taiyi nectar are collectively known as the three great divine waters.
In the mortal world, these three sacred waters cannot be refined through secret techniques. Even the Tianyi Divine Water in Yushui Palace is naturally formed in a cave in the sect, and it takes decades to refine it. A drop of it can be said to be extremely precious.
As for Weak Water Sanqian and Taiyi Nectar, it is rumored that they are things from the upper world and do not exist in the mortal world at all.
Although the weak water in front of them is not as abnormal as weak water three thousand, the convergence of the entire river also makes the two people unable to do anything. The characteristic of weak water is that goose feathers do not float, no matter what it is, if it flies over weak water, it will Pulled by suction, it sank into the weak water.
Even immortal cultivators will never be treated favorably once they are dragged into the weak water. Moreover, according to legend, the souls of all creatures dragged into the weak water will be imprisoned in the weak water forever, and they will neither live nor die. But it will always be dark, and there will be no escape until the weak water dries up.
So neither Xiao Lin nor Shui Ruohan dared to try it easily.
"Brother Xiao, where are you looking?" After looking around, Shui Ruohan suddenly pointed to the distance where Ruoshui extended and exclaimed.
Xiao Lin followed Shui Ruohan's finger and saw a group of dark clouds dozens of miles away, lying above Weishui. Thunder light flashed inside, but there was no sound of thunder.
"Let's go over and take a look." After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Lin took the lead and flew away towards where the dark clouds were.
The two of them soon came to the dark clouds. What surprised them was that there was a bridge under the thunderclouds, spanning the weak water river, connecting the two banks.
"I didn't expect there to be a bridge here?"
The two of them had a sense of darkness and light.
"However, the thunderlights emitted by the thunderclouds were extremely dense, and they all fell on the bridge. When we passed the bridge, we were probably going to be bombarded by countless thunderlights."
"It seems that it is better to withstand a lightning strike than to fly to the weak water river. With our level of cultivation, it is almost impossible to keep the flying escape to the weak water river intact. Since there is a bridge in front of us, I guess it is not a trap set intentionally. That’s it.”
After some discussion, the two of them sacrificed their magic weapons one after another. Xiao Lin not only sacrificed all the nine-sided Purple Thunder Star Shield, but also sacrificed the Five Yuan Purple Barrier, turning it into a ball of Purple Sky Barrier. Blocking the two people's heads.
Shui Ruohan also offered a shield magic weapon, and spit out a green orb, which enveloped himself in a misty green light.
After doing all this, the two of them flew towards the bridge.
Less than a fifth of the way out, the dark clouds above the two of them suddenly rolled up and fell one after another as lightning flashed.
I saw the Purple Sky Barrier emitted by the Five Yuan Purple Barrier, turning into a five-color light shield that resisted the falling thunder.
"Brother Xiao's spiritual treasure should be a high-level spiritual treasure. It is capable of both offense and defense. Brother Xiao is really rich."
Hearing this, Xiao Lin was speechless for a while. Now being bombarded by endless lightning, this girl still had time to discuss his net worth.
Xiao Lin did not answer, but moved the magic formula with his right hand, and kept pouring pure magic power into the Five Yuan Purple Barrier.
Soon the two came to the center of the bridge, and only then did they discover that there was a light gray barrier in the center of the bridge, dividing the entire bridge into two.
Outside of the deep dark clouds, the two of them didn't notice it before.
At this time, the star ring in Shui Ruohan's hand flashed, and a flying sword flashing with a green cold light shot out, shooting straight towards the light gray barrier.
The flying sword hit the barrier and penetrated it without any hindrance.
This scene stunned both Xiao Lin and Shui Ruohan.
But before the two of them could take the next step, the flying sword that originally shot into the light gray barrier suddenly flew out of the barrier and returned to Shui Ruohan's side again in an instant.
"Restricted?"
Xiao Lin felt a little strange, but Shui Ruohan understood that the gray barrier in front of her was actually an extremely mysterious restriction, and what she had just shot was just an ordinary spiritual weapon.
Mainly she wanted to verify the function of this light gray barrier, but after the magic weapon was shot into it, she found that the flying sword was actually disconnected from her spiritual mind. Not only that, it also suddenly turned around. Of course, it then turned around. Turning back with the flying sword, her mind regained control of the flying sword.
"Miss Shui, did you not control the return of the magic weapon just now?" Xiao Lin suddenly thought of something and asked.
Seeing Shui Ruohan nodding, Xiao Lin showed a somewhat solemn expression on his face.
"Brother Xiao, do you know the origin and efficacy of this barrier?"
"Xiao is just guessing. This light gray barrier is probably the legendary space restriction."
"Space restriction?" Shui Ruohan's pretty face also changed.
In the Tiangu Continent, many immortal cultivators like to set up some restrictions and formations in the caves where they practice to avoid being disturbed and to protect themselves.
Most of these restrictions are placed through some secret techniques and with the help of the power of the five elements. They have the ability to defend and attack. They borrow nothing more than the principle of the five elements.
However, there is also a kind of restriction spread in the world of immortality, which uses the rules of heaven and earth to set up extremely powerful restrictions. This type of restriction is also called an immortal restriction.
Immortal Forbidden is a method that can only be mastered by powerful people in the upper world who have a certain understanding of the rules of heaven and earth. Xiao Lin has only seen it in the classics given by Jiang Yingxue before his reincarnation.
And it only gave a rough introduction, because this Immortal Forbidden City is not something that immortal cultivators in the mortal world can understand thoroughly.
In the mortal world, only the Divine Transformation cultivators can comprehend some of the power of space, so if the gray barrier in front of them is really a space restriction, then Xiao Lin and Shui Ruohan will almost be unable to break it.
The two of them are in a very awkward situation at the moment. They can't pass in front of them, and endless lightning falls above their heads. Although the Purple Sky Barrier has amazing defense, if it continues like this, Xiao Lin's mana will always be consumed.
Shui Ruohan is also at a loss. Although she was born in the Yushui Palace and grew up with a spoon in her mouth, she has a lot of knowledge about various restrictions, but she has no idea about this space force.
Xiao Lin slapped the beast ring on his waist, and several true-level soul-devouring fire insects flew out of it and flew towards the light gray barrier.
Soon these soul-devouring fire insects sank into the barrier, but soon, these soul-devouring fire insects flew out of the barrier again.
Xiao Lin immediately understood that this space restriction seemed to only prevent people from entering the other side, but it had no killing power.
This also made the two feel a little relieved.
"Woo woo~~" The beast ring on Xiao Lin's waist suddenly flashed with black light, and the spirit pet Xiao Hei flew out by himself.
Xiao Lin was helpless about this, but after seeing Xiao Hei, Xiao Lin's eyes lit up. Driven by his mind, Xiao Hei ran to the light gray barrier.
He first sniffed with his nose, and then bit the barrier fiercely.
A scene that stunned Shui Ruohan appeared. The light black barrier was actually bitten off directly, and the bitten place did not recover. A ball of black light flashed on the surface, preventing it from repairing.
After swallowing a bite, Xiao Hei licked his mouth, showing a satisfied look, and then began to swallow it in big mouthfuls.
In a moment, Xiao Hei actually swallowed a two-foot-sized hole in the black barrier, and the other side of the bridge was revealed on the opposite side. Obviously, the gray barrier was bitten through by Xiao Hei.
"Brother Xiao, what exactly is your...spiritual pet?" Shui Ruohan pointed at Xiao Hei and stuttered.
"It's called Xiao Hei, and it's my pet. I happened to see it in the forest during a trial. I felt sorry for it, so I adopted it." Xiao Lin didn't tell the truth, but just casually said a few perfunctory words.
"Just found it in the forest?" Shui Ruohan couldn't help rolling her eyes when she heard it. She naturally didn't believe that Xiao Hei was picked up by Xiao Lin. Xiao Hei looked like a local dog, inconspicuous, but Shui Ruohan knew that it was definitely a great guy.
Otherwise, a local dog could bite through the space restriction like chewing a carrot, and no one would believe it if she told others.
