Chapter 1229 Black Water Demonic Snake
It turns out that the Nine-Son Ghost Lotus usually grows underwater and is difficult to be found. Only when it is about to mature will it release black energy that reaches the sky, attracting others to pick it, so as to prevent the pearl from becoming dull. The Nine-Son Ghost Lotus was planted by the ancestor himself back then, so he naturally knew when it would mature. It is estimated that the date when his group entered the ruins was also calculated in advance.
Although picking the Nine-Son Ghost Lotus underwater is a bit troublesome, it is not a big deal to the Golden elixir monks present. Seeing that the task is about to be completed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Ghost Eagle Master said: "In that case, what are we waiting for? Hurry up and find the Nine-Son Ghost Lotus, wait for him to mature, refine the Lingming Heshou Pill, and send the pill back to the Ghost Valley. Our mission will be completed."
When Master Guiying said this, the others were about to step forward, but Master Guihe suddenly stopped them and said: "Everyone, wait a minute, things are not that simple."
Not that simple? What does it mean? Everyone turned their heads in unison, and seeing everyone looking at him, Master Guihe explained: "How could we get such a treasure as the Nine-Son Ghost Lotus so easily? When our ancestor discovered the Nine-Son Ghost Lotus six hundred years ago, There were two monsters living in the black water pool. The ancestor wounded the stronger one, and the two monsters escaped into the lake in the middle. It was too difficult to find them, so we let them go. "
The water surface of this black pool is only a few dozen miles long, and it is attracted by the Nine-Son Ghost Lotus. It is relatively easy to find a monster. The water surface of the lake in the middle is thousands of miles long, and we don’t know how deep it is below. How easy is it to search for a monster inside? Even for a Golden Core cultivator, it is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack. No wonder Lord Hun Li gave up back then.
Ghost Eagle Master said: "In six hundred years, our ancestor has grown from a late-stage Jindan monk to a late-stage Nascent Soul monk. How can the monsters that were able to escape from his old man's hands now have the strength of the Nascent Soul realm, right? How can we be rivals?"
Master Guihe said: "It's not that serious. The ancestors searched the ruins for a long time, but could not find any existence beyond the late stage of the Golden Core. Moreover, the violent aura in the ruins could not survive the existence of the late stage of the Golden Core. This Don’t worry at all. Besides, it’s so difficult for us normal monks outside to break through to the Nascent Soul realm. How could there be a chance to break through to the Nascent Soul realm in such a small place in the ruins? If not, why would the ancestors not come here for six hundred years? "
This is true. They tried their best outside to find a chance to break through the Nascent Soul. How could there be a monster in this small ruin that could easily break through? The ancestor discovered this ruins a long time ago and came in to explore it. There is probably nothing very good in it. Otherwise, the ancestor would have tried his best in the past six hundred years to come in again to find out.
Six hundred years have passed, and my ancestors have reached the end of their lifespan and need to consider using Lingmingheshoudan to extend their lifespan. How can the Warcraft survive until now? It is estimated that even if there are Warcraft inside, they are the descendants of the original Warcraft, and their strength will not be too high.
Speaking of this, Master Guihe paused for a moment, and then said: "Master and I discussed how to handle this matter before coming here. Now there is still a lot of time before the maturity time of the Nine Sons Ghost Lotus calculated by our ancestors. We During this period, we can first move around in the periphery, understand the surrounding environment, and at the same time find the hiding place of the monster in the black water pool. If the strength of the monster is not high, we will directly kill the monster and wait for the Nine Sons Ghost Lotus to mature. If the strength of the monster is If it is too powerful, we will find a way to lure him elsewhere or temporarily trap him, at least not to affect the alchemy. "
This is probably the best way we can think of at the moment. Naturally, everyone has no objections. Then a group of people settled in this place. At the same time, Master Guihe also made a simple division of labor for everyone. Master Guixia and Qingyang. There is no need to do anything, just adjust your mentality so that there will be no mistakes in the future alchemy. The other four people will take turns to go out and inquire about the surrounding situation.
Taking into account the situation here, Lord Youmu also prepared a treasure for everyone in advance that has a certain effect in concealing the whereabouts. It looks like a piece of treasure armor and can be worn directly on the body. Even when walking, it will be very useful to the monks. Its whereabouts have a certain concealment effect. As long as you are careful when approaching the Nine Sons Ghost Lotus, you should be able to avoid the detection of nearby monsters.
For a period of time after that, everyone lived on a reef outside the Blackwater Pool. Unexpectedly, monsters suddenly appeared and discovered their whereabouts. Master Guihe also set up a concealment formation on the reef. Everyone usually crowded in the formation. Meditate and rest in the midst of the Dharma.
Except for Qingyang and Guixia Zhenren, the other four people took turns to put on the armor with concealment effect and went out to investigate the situation. Things seemed to go more smoothly than expected. In the blink of an eye, less than half a month passed, and each of the four people I went out several times and nothing happened.
Of course, they also thoroughly explored the nearby situation. The entire Blackwater Pool is about fifty or sixty miles in radius, with hundreds of rocks scattered around it. There is no danger above the water.
As for the Nine-Son Ghost Lotus, they also found it. It grows under the water in the middle of the Blackwater Pond. You need to dive dozens of feet to see it. The Nine-Son Ghost Lotus has already formed lotus pods, but it is not yet mature. According to Guihe According to Zhenmao's calculation, it will take more than two months. It seems that Zhenjun Youmu was also worried about missing the deadline and let them enter the ruins so long in advance.
Finding the Nine-Child Ghost Lotus means half of the mission is done. The rest is to wait for it to mature and refine the elixir. However, what worries everyone is that there is indeed a magic beast in the black water pool. Because he is worried about being discovered by the magic beast, Master Guihe only observes from a distance wearing a hidden armor and can only understand some general situations.
The magic beast is said to be called the Black Water Demon Snake. It is ten feet long and is a ninth-level peak magic beast. It is only one step away from breaking through the tenth level. It usually rests near the Nine-Child Ghost Lotus and will not easily leave. According to Master Hunli's inference, this Black Water Demon Snake is probably the most powerful magic beast in the ruins. No wonder this area is calm and peaceful. Qingyang and his team have not encountered any danger since entering the oasis. It turns out that there is a ninth-level peak Black Water Demon Snake sitting here, and other magic beasts dare not come here.
The ninth-order peak demon beast is actually similar to Master Guihe's ninth-level perfect cultivation of the Golden Core, but the Black Water Demon Snake is hiding at the bottom of the Black Water Pond. He has lived here all his life and has all the advantages of the terrain. It is almost impossible for Master Guihe to defeat the Black Water Demon Snake.
