Chapter 1436 Kirin Thunderwood
At this time, the iron-eating beast in the deep pit had already climbed up, but did not attack immediately. Instead, it looked at Qingyang above with mixed emotions. Qingyang's five-element sword formation just now really scared him. If it weren't for his strong defense, he would have been dead for a long time. The iron-eating beast couldn't understand why the power of Qingyang's five-element sword formation was different from before, and how could the lightning that was originally beneficial to him cause him such serious damage.
The iron-eating beast secretly looked at the spiritual roots of heaven and earth behind him, and then looked at Qingyang above, as if making a difficult decision. In this situation, not only could he not protect the spiritual roots of heaven and earth behind him, but he was afraid that he would not even be able to save his life. What should he do now?
Finally, the iron-eating beast made up his mind, and suddenly exuded an unprecedented momentum. At the same time, his two eyes turned red, and he rushed directly from the bottom of the thunder pool to Qingyang above, and his speed was even faster than the last time. It seemed that he was going to fight Qingyang to the death.
Although Qingyang was dealing with the lightning attack in the thunder pool, he was also paying attention to the iron-eating beast at the bottom of the pit. Seeing that the iron-eating beast was attacking him again, Qingyang quickly removed the lightning in front of him, and then drove his life magic weapon to form a five-element sword formation to block himself.
This time, the sword formation did not contain the energy of lightning. First, it was because doing so would damage the magic weapon, and Qingyang was unwilling to continue to take this risk. Second, the iron-eating beast had been seriously injured and its body defense was greatly reduced. Even a simple five-element sword formation could hurt the iron-eating beast. In this situation, Qingyang was not in a hurry. He could grind the iron-eating beast to death slowly.
Seeing that the two sides were about to collide, suddenly, the iron-eating beast made a sharp turn in the air, and then its body suddenly accelerated and ran directly to the other side of the cave. The speed was so fast that it almost exceeded the scope of ordinary Yuanying cultivators. Even Qingyang could only see a residual image.
As an old monk who has practiced for more than a hundred years, Qingyang was prepared for the Iron-Eating Beast's move and even made some preparations. However, he did not expect that the Iron-Eating Beast could still burst out at such a speed when its body was injured, and he was caught off guard.
In desperation, he quickly pushed out the Five Elements Sword Formation, wanting to keep the Iron-Eating Beast, but unfortunately he was still a step too late. At this time, the Iron-Eating Beast had turned again in the air and ran towards the direction of the cave entrance. The speed of the Iron-Eating Beast was too fast. In the end, the Five Elements Sword Formation only touched the tail of the Iron-Eating Beast and did not cause much damage to it. At this time, it was impossible for Qingyang to chase the Iron-Eating Beast because the other party had disappeared in the cave.
Looking at the direction where the iron-eating beast disappeared, Qingyang felt a little disappointed. He didn't expect that after all his efforts, he still let the iron-eating beast run away. If Qingyang chased it now, he might catch up with the iron-eating beast, because the iron-eating beast was seriously injured and lacked potential. Although he was bursting out at a fast speed now, in fact, this effect could not last long. After the iron-eating beast was exhausted, it would be easy to take him down.
However, Qingyang thought about it and decided to forget it. Compared with the heaven and earth spiritual roots in the thunder pool, the iron-eating beast was nothing. The good stuff was right in front of him. If he gave up the heaven and earth spiritual roots that were within his reach because of chasing the iron-eating beast, he would be really crazy.
The corpse of the ninth-level peak iron-eating beast was worth 100,000 Nether Stones at most, while the heaven and earth spiritual roots in the thunder pool were priceless treasures that could not be measured by Nether Stones at all. If someone really needed it, let alone a mere 100,000 Nether Stones, even if he offered a price of one million, there would be people who would grab it.
As for taming the iron-eating beast and raising it, Qingyang had never considered it. On the one hand, it was because the financial resources required to raise a magic beast were too great. Qingyang already had the Iron-armed Spirit Monkey and the Alcoholic Bee Colony, and could not afford more consumption. On the other hand, there was a big difference between magic beasts and demon beasts.
Demon beasts were more intelligent, closer to cultivators, and more likely to accept the various rules of cultivators. At the same time, they were also honest and rough, which was unique to demon beasts. Once they recognized their masters, they would hardly betray them. However, the magic beasts were not intelligent, and acted completely on instinct. They only had animal nature without humanity, and could not distinguish between morality and grace. They were almost impossible to tame, so it was almost impossible to tame them. Therefore, the first reaction of cultivators when they encountered magic beasts was to kill them and sell materials, and they never thought about taming them.
If the iron-eating beast ran away, it would mean losing the 100,000 dark stones in hand. Compared with the spiritual roots of heaven and earth in the thunder pool, this loss was nothing at all. Although the iron-eating beast's nest had not been discovered for countless years, there was always a chance of something happening. What if someone suddenly got there first after he left? Moreover, the iron-eating beast is the landlord here. If he tries to get rid of me and sneaks back through the small path to destroy the spiritual root of heaven and earth, I will be in tears.
So after confirming that the iron-eating beast had escaped, Qingyang walked directly into the thunder pool without hesitation. The deeper he went into the thunder pool, the higher the frequency of lightning appeared, and the more difficult it was for Qingyang to deal with it. Fortunately, the power of lightning has not increased, and it will not exceed the limit of Qingyang's response. Moreover, Qingyang has been dealing with it for such a long time, and he has a certain understanding of the lightning in the thunder pool. The means of dealing with it are becoming more and more skilled, and there have been no mistakes.
After another cup of tea, Qingyang finally entered the bottom of the thunder pool and came to the spiritual root of heaven and earth. At such a close distance, Qingyang saw it more clearly.
In front of me was a spiritual tree as thick as an arm, about three feet high, with a bare trunk without branches or leaves. However, the surface of the entire spiritual tree was covered with blue scales, which faintly glowed. At first glance, I thought it was a leg of a real spirit unicorn. The spiritual tree also contained terrifying thunder attribute energy, which could not be ignored. Since I didn't know the name of this spiritual root of heaven and earth, I might as well call it the unicorn thunder wood.
I looked at the unicorn thunder wood for a while and couldn't let it go. I didn't expect to get such a good thing in this trip to the God Infant Garden. Even if I couldn't get the God Pregnant Fruit in the second half, with these treasures, plus the previous dragon horn root, I might be able to impress the Long Eyebrow Ghost King in exchange for his long eyebrows. Of course, these two treasures are more useful to Qingyang. If I can keep them for myself, I will try my best to keep them for myself. It seems that I still have to work hard in the second half to get the God Pregnant Fruit.
Thinking of this, Qingyang took two steps forward and prepared to dig out the Qilin Thunder Wood. This treasure was too important to him. It would be more troublesome if he waited too long. It would be better to get it in his hands as soon as possible.
