Chapter 1913 Golden Beetle
After killing the Lightning Marten, Qingyang was free for a while. He did not encounter any danger for several hours, but he did not gain anything. Just when he was about to stop and find a place to rest for a while, a golden beetle suddenly emerged from the ground and attacked him.
This beetle has extremely strong defense. Even the Bitao Divine Wood Sword cannot hurt it easily. It is also very good at earth escape. If it misses a strike, it will quickly escape into the ground. When it finds an opportunity, it will attack again. The only shortcoming is that its attack power is a little weak. Its overall strength is similar to that of the Lightning Marten it encountered before. In the end, Qingyang found an opportunity to kill the golden beetle.
The golden beetle's attack power is poor only relative to Qingyang. Not only is he strong, but he also has a spiritual treasure-level blue lotus armor. Of course, he is not afraid of the attack of the golden beetle. If it is other cultivators, it is hard to say. Although the golden beetle is only the size of a fist, and its front and rear legs are only as thick as chopsticks, if it is scratched and not treated in time, the toxin will soon penetrate into the cultivator's body, anesthetizing the cultivator's meridians and body, making the cultivator lose the ability to resist. Even more powerful is the mouthparts of the golden beetle. Once bitten by it, the golden beetle will instantly drill into the body of the cultivator and quickly eat up the cultivator's internal organs, leaving only a shell. Almost no one can resist it.
This time is slightly different from the last time. After killing the golden beetle, no spiritual light flew out of the beetle. The beetle's body fell to the ground and rolled a few times, and it turned into a fist-sized golden obsidian. Although golden obsidian is not a particularly rare treasure, it is a refining material of the Nascent Soul level after all, and it is a fist-sized piece, so it is worth 100,000 spiritual stones.
Qingyang did not expect that the floating duckweed illusion was so magical that it directly transformed a piece of golden obsidian used for refining into a golden beetle and gave it the combat power of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul. It not only tested the strength of the contestants, but also gave them certain benefits, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
The situation after that is similar to the previous one. Not only can the refining materials be transformed into attacking monsters and spirit insects by the duckweed illusion to attack Qingyang, but some small animals, plants, and even some spirit herbs can also be transformed into monsters and spirit insects, and are endowed with powerful attack power to attack Qingyang. Their strength is basically around the ninth level of the Nascent Soul. As for whether there will be any harvest, it depends entirely on luck. It is possible that you will get a spirit herb at the end of the battle, or you may only get a dead branch.
This duckweed illusion is illusory. When the false is true, the true is false, and when the true is false, the false is true. Sometimes it looks like a high-year spirit herb from a distance, but when you walk up to collect it, it suddenly turns into a green poisonous python and attacks you by surprise.
It's hard to say whether other people can handle it, but for the powerful Qingyang, these are nothing. In the blink of an eye, five or six days have passed. Qingyang has encountered at least nine dangers, but they were all easily resolved by Qingyang. As for the harvest, he got a thousand-year-old spiritual medicine, a fist-sized golden obsidian, and a low-quality spiritual sword magic weapon. All of them are worth 200,000 or 300,000 spiritual stones. This harvest is nothing to Qingyang, but it is also a great fortune for other Yuanying cultivators. Moreover, the Qianying Association lasts for a total of three months. Now only five or six days have passed, and the harvest will definitely be greater in the future.
After killing nine opponents in a row, Qingyang felt that he seemed to have come to the end of the desert. Looking up, there was a barrier not far away. That should be the boundary of the second layer of the floating duckweed illusion. As long as you pass through that barrier, you can enter the second layer of the floating duckweed illusion.
Qingyang had known the rules of the Thousand Infants Association before. At the outermost edge of the Duckweed Illusion, as long as you kill nine Yuanying ninth-level opponents in succession, you can see the second-level barrier, but this second level is not mandatory. If you feel confident, you can pass through the barrier and enter the second level, where you will encounter stronger opponents. If you feel unsure about going to the second level, don't go forward, but stay at the outermost edge to face the challenges of other Yuanying ninth-level opponents. Although the gains will be less, it is safer, at least the dangers are within the controllable range.
Of course, no one would choose this. The Thousand Infants Association is so important. It's hard to touch the threshold of the second level? How can you give up? The treasures on the second level are definitely better than those on the first level, so many people will try to break in even if they know that it will be extremely dangerous after entering.
It's easy to say, but it's not that easy to see the barrier of the second layer of the floating duckweed illusion. Not everyone has the ability to challenge across levels like Qingyang. It takes a lot of effort for others to kill an opponent of the same level, and it's even more difficult to kill nine opponents of the same level. Killing nine opponents in a row is almost as difficult as ascending to heaven. If you fail once, you have to start all over again. That's why the monks from Chongshizhou are ready to stay on the periphery.
Qingyang certainly doesn't have this problem. Without any hesitation, Qingyang walked directly towards the barrier of the second layer. After about a cup of tea, Qingyang came to the barrier. The gray light curtain in front blocked his sight, and his mind couldn't get through. Qingyang tried to throw a stone over, but there was no reaction at all, making it hard to figure out the details.
Qingyang was also very brave. He paused and stepped into the gray light curtain. At this moment, Qingyang's senses and divine thoughts seemed to be blocked and all lost their functions. Fortunately, it was only a moment and he recovered quickly. At this time, Qingyang had left the gray light curtain and reappeared in a valley full of rocks.
The spiritual energy here is much better than before. The grass and trees are lush, the rocks are everywhere, and small insects and small animals shuttle through it from time to time. It must be the second layer of the duckweed illusion. With the experience of the outermost period, Qingyang did not dare to be too careless. Who knows if the grass and trees and insects and animals in the valley are illusions of the duckweed illusion? It seems that there is no threat. If there is a sudden attack, it will be difficult to deal with.
Just as Qingyang was observing the surrounding environment, he found that a jade talisman had appeared in his hand. Qingyang had learned before coming in that this suddenly appearing jade talisman was a life-saving talisman. The opponents that appeared in the floating duckweed illusion were really capable of killing people, and it would be a pity for the elites from various cities and states who participated in the Thousand Infants Conference to die here. Therefore, after entering the second floor, everyone would be given a life-saving talisman. If an accident occurred and they could not cope with it, they would crush the jade talisman in their hands and be teleported to a safe area.
