Chapter 604: Scheming, Gray Shadow Attacks (Combined Chapter)

After hearing Song Qingming's reminder, Xia Mo, who was concentrating on controlling the Azure Dragon Shadow, nodded slightly, and immediately flashed away from the original place, and exchanged positions with Song Qingming who had already prepared.

Soon, the Azure Dragon Shadow that was attacking the formation was instantly replaced by the mighty white tiger controlled by Song Qingming.

The white tiger had just absorbed the spiritual power of the formation, and was also extremely fierce. It raised its huge tiger claws and pounced into the formation, continuing to attack and tear the formation, not giving the opponent time to restore the formation runes.

After Xia Mo retreated, she immediately returned the already very weak Azure Dragon Shadow to He Mengxin, and then took over the control of the Vermillion Bird Shadow from her.

He Mengxin and Song Qingyu immediately began to draw the spiritual energy from the formation beside them and replenish it in the Azure Dragon Shadow whose spiritual light was already very dim.

When the spiritual light of the white tiger beast controlled by Song Qingming was about to dim, Xia Mo immediately took the Vermillion Bird beast to continue attacking the runes on one side of the formation.

This is also the powerful part of the "Four Symbols Breaking Formation Method". As long as four Jindan cultivators can be gathered, the four-elephant beast phantoms can be used non-stop to attack the runes above the formation in turn.

After breaking a gap and destroying one or two formation eyes inside, the power of this formation can be quickly weakened, and then the formation in front of us can be easily broken.

Xia Mo just took over Song Qingming's hand and was about to attack the formation when several white lights suddenly appeared around the formation in front of the two people, and then four light blades quickly shot out towards the position where the two were.

"Be careful, the formation inside has started to attack us again." After seeing the white light blade appear, Song Qingming shouted hurriedly and stopped immediately.

Then, he used his life magic weapon "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" to protect himself and Xia Mo, and cast a spell to activate the Three Talents Magic Array flag that he had just held in his hands, ready to borrow magic power from He Mengxin and Song Qingyu to fight the enemy at any time.

The four light blades had just flown to a distance in front of Song Qingming, and before they touched his life magic weapon, hundreds of colorful petals suddenly flew out from both sides of him, and easily stopped the light blades in mid-air.

Seeing this scene, Song Qingming was suddenly a little surprised, opened his mouth slightly, and turned to look behind him.

"This attack can't hurt me, Brother Song, don't worry about me, just take care of the two of them!" Xia Mo, who was still casting a spell to control the Four Symbols Array to attack the formation, said to Song Qingming with a calm face.

After hearing this, Song Qingming took a look at the flower basket magic weapon around Xia Mo's waist, and immediately realized that it was she who had just made the move, and he couldn't help but show some admiration in his heart.

Although the opponent was a late Jindan cultivator, Xia Mo's strength was indeed beyond Song Qingming's expectations, as she could control the phantoms of the four beasts to attack the formation and block the light blade attacks so easily at the same time.

Seeing that the opponent's magical power was indeed powerful, Song Qingming also felt that he was indeed a little too suspicious just now. He smiled awkwardly at Xia Mo and responded, and then immediately flew to Song Qingyu and the others.

Just after retreating, not long after, several white lights lit up in the formation again, heading straight for Xia Mo, but just like before, basically before getting close to the opponent, they were blocked by the flower basket magic weapon around her.

After two consecutive attacks, the third attack of the formation suddenly became a little stronger, not only Xia Mo's side, but also Song Qingming and the other two not far away were affected.

Fortunately, Song Qingming had been prepared long ago, and he always held the Three Talents Formation Flag tightly in his hand, just to deal with this emergency at will.

The three light blades coming towards the few people seemed fierce, but under the power of the Three Talents Formation, He Mengxin and Song Qingyu assisted and helped to enhance the magic power.

Song Qingming, whose magic power suddenly became much stronger, used the magic weapon "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" and also blocked the attacks of these formations without much effort.

After these three attacks, Song Qingming and Xia Mo quickly switched positions again.

However, this time, although Song Qingming was cautious and kept staring at the surroundings, until he retreated, there was no change in the formation.

In this way, the four people cooperated, constantly controlling the four elephants to attack the formation, and the recovery of the spiritual power wheel to replace it, and soon the flowing runes on the formation became thinner and thinner.

Although the people behind suffered several attacks from the formation, they were well prepared and protected by the Three Talents Formation, so they managed to block all the attacks without any danger.

After about half an hour, the runes on one side of the formation were finally cleared by Song Qingming and Xia Mo.

After a loud "bang!", the Azure Dragon phantom controlled by Xia Mo finally forced its way through the weak part of the formation and entered the formation.

Then there were several more violent noises. After Xia Mo destroyed several formation eyes, the power of the third-level upper-grade formation in front of them finally began to gradually weaken.

As the power of the formation weakened, a very pure aura suddenly rushed over, making everyone feel refreshed.

Seeing this, Song Qingming and the others beside him were also delighted, and all of them approached Xia Mo with a happy look on their faces.

"Haha! Senior Sister Xia, it seems that it has been done. It's hard for us to spend so much effort this time. Finally, our efforts have paid off."

Xia Mo, who was standing by, heard what He Mengxin said, but didn't say much. She just nodded slightly, and her beautiful eyes were still staring at the formation in front of her.

Seeing that Xia Mo didn't answer her, He Mengxin didn't ask any more questions. The two of them were friends from the same school who had known each other for many years. He Mengxin naturally knew each other's character a long time ago and would not have any thoughts about it.

After about half an incense stick of time, seeing that the white light shield in front of her had gradually dissipated, He Mengxin, who was a little anxious, took the initiative to take two steps forward to take a look, and then slowly put her mind at ease.

Seeing that the formation that had blocked them for a long time was finally broken, He Mengxin turned around happily and asked Xia Mo in front of her: "Senior Sister Xia, this formation has no power anymore, can we go in first?"

Hearing He Mengxin's words, Xia Mo was about to answer her when she suddenly felt that something was wrong in front of her. Her face changed slightly and she came to He Mengxin's side in a flash.

Seeing that Xia Mo's face seemed to be a little wrong, He Mengxin hurriedly asked softly: "Senior Sister Xia, is there anything wrong?"

As soon as He Mengxin finished speaking, before Xia Mo could answer, there were suddenly several whizzing sounds of breaking through the air in front of her.

"Be careful!"

Xia Mo frowned slightly and reminded a few people softly. Then, a white jade ruler magic weapon appeared in her hand. Under her fast casting operation, it quickly turned into a white shield to protect her, and He Mengxin was also covered in it.

Song Qingming, who was standing by, also felt something was wrong when he heard this. He immediately pulled up Song Qingyu, who didn't know what happened, and moved towards Xia Mo and the others.

As soon as the two of them made a move, a rain of silver arrows flew over from the front, which looked quite powerful.

Song Qingming, who had no time to get close to Xia Mo, immediately put up a protective light shield in front of him, and then used the magic weapon "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" in his body to block the two of them.

Song Qingming, who was hiding behind the magic weapon, instantly felt that there seemed to be more than a dozen silver arrows outside, which quickly hit the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror".

Each of these silver arrows was almost as powerful as an ordinary attack of a Jindan cultivator, and it was like raindrops, which made Song Qingming, who was hiding in the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror", feel a lot of pressure immediately.

Seeing this, Song Qingming did not dare to be arrogant. He quickly used the "invisible jade light" in his body and covered the life magic weapon in front of him, strengthening the magic weapon's defense ability.

Faced with such a sharp attack, Song Qingming did not dare to put away the magic weapon in front of the two people for the sake of Song Qingyu beside him. He could only bite the bullet and resist, and could not move his body at all.

Song Qingming did not know how long he could withstand this silver rain of arrows. He wanted to go over and meet up with Xia Mo and the others, but he was afraid that he could not take care of Song Qingyu beside him. For a while, he was in a dilemma.

"Fellow Daoist Song, come quickly!"

He Mengxin also saw Song Qingming and the others in front of him. The situation was not good. He took out a green jade magic weapon and flew in front of Song Qingming and the others to help them share some of the pressure.

Feeling that the pressure on his body was relieved a lot, Song Qingming did not hesitate to see the situation. He took Song Qingyu's feet and moved the light under his feet. He moved his body quickly with a flash and changed his position to a few feet away.

Before the surrounding silver arrow rain attacked, Song Qingming changed his body again, and soon, together with Song Qingyu, he entered the light shield formed by Xia Mo's magic weapon.

Song Qingming, who got rid of the danger, was also slightly relieved. Fortunately, He Mengxin helped him just now, and he had made some progress in the Nine Palace Meteor Escape Technique he practiced. Otherwise, it would not be so easy to escape just now.

After Song Qingming and the other two carefully hid in the light shield, they immediately used their magic power to inject it into Xia Mo's white light shield in front of them to help her fight against the silver arrow rain that kept attacking from the front.

Although the arrow rain seemed to be endless and continued to attack, the white shield supported by the white jade ruler magic weapon in Xia Mo's hand was still as stable as Mount Tai, and was not pushed back by this fierce attack.

The silver arrow rain that attacked everyone should be a trap set up by the owner of the cave to prevent others from forcibly breaking the formation. Once the third-level upper-grade formation outside was completely destroyed, this mechanism message would be triggered.

If the person who breaks the formation has a low level of cultivation, once he approaches the formation without paying attention, he will be easily hit.

If it weren't for Xia Mo's high level of cultivation and the excellent defensive magic weapon on his body, it would be difficult for Song Qingming and the other two to escape from this level of attack. If they were not careful, someone would be injured or even die.

After a while, as the silver arrow rain in front stopped attacking, Xia Mo slowly put away the jade ruler magic weapon in front of him.

The white jade ruler magic weapon that Xia Mo had just sacrificed was powerful enough to block the attack and protect everyone, but at this moment, there were several cracks on the jade ruler, and it had suffered considerable damage.

This white jade ruler was a rare third-level medium-grade defensive magic weapon. It was damaged this time, and it would take at least several thousand spirit stones to repair it. Seeing this scene, Song Qingming and the others felt a little sorry.

However, Xia Mo, who held the jade ruler magic weapon, did not show much heartache on her face. She just glanced at the cracks on the magic weapon and put it directly into the storage magic weapon on her waist.

"Okay! There shouldn't be anything next, let's go first."

After Xia Mo glanced at the formation that had been broken in front of him, he uttered a few words lightly, and then took the lead and walked forward.

After passing through the formation, the few people walked forward another four or five feet and stepped into a huge stone cave that was obviously artificially excavated.

As soon as they entered the cave, Song Qingming and his companions were attracted by the white jade pearls inlaid on the stone pillars around them.

He Mengxin waved her hand and took a pearl from the stone pillar on her right. After taking it in her hand and looking at it, she said with surprise:

"Using the second-level middle-grade white moon pearl as a bright lamp, it seems that the owner of this cave is really wealthy. He must be a Yuanying senior. We have found a great opportunity to enter here this time."

Song Qingming glanced around and nodded in agreement: "This cave is so well preserved that it doesn't look like it has been abandoned. It seems that this senior is very likely to have died outside or passed away in the cave."

The length and width of this stone cave are more than ten feet. Although it has been covered with dust for thousands of years, it is fully equipped with tables, chairs, benches, and daily necessities.

The richness of the spiritual energy in the stone cave is almost close to the third-level upper-grade spiritual vein, which is similar to the Weiguo Guiyunfang, and barely meets the needs of a Yuanying early stage cultivator.

After a few people scanned the stone cave, they soon found more than a dozen already refined magic tools and magic treasures in a corner of the stone cave, as well as a pile of various refining materials and some books and exercises related to refining.

Judging from the situation on the scene, these magic tools and magic tools seemed to be refined by the owner of the cave himself, and there were separate sets, but it was a little strange that although these magic tools and magic treasures were of different sizes and types, they were almost all flying swords.

In addition to these, the remaining things in the stone cave, except for some low-value bamboo slips and handwritten notes, almost had no valuable things useful to everyone.

This also made the faces of the few people who entered the stone cave slightly disappointed.

Although they found two third-level low-grade flying sword magic weapons and more than a dozen second-level magic weapons, these were the only things they had. For a Nascent Soul cultivator's cave, it was a bit shabby.

Since it was a cave of a late Jindan cultivator who had practiced for hundreds of years, it was unlikely that there were only these useful spiritual objects.

Moreover, after searching for a while, they did not find the corpse of the cave owner. They did not even find any of the things he needed for daily practice or refining, which was indeed a bit strange.

"Everyone, look around carefully. Logically, there shouldn't be only these things. The cave owner is so good at calculating, and the real spiritual objects should be hidden by him."

After Xia Mo finished speaking, he took the initiative to walk deeper into the stone cave and began to examine the surrounding mountain walls in detail, trying to find some clues from them.

Song Qingming and the other two also nodded, each walked in a direction, and carefully searched every corner of the stone cave.

Soon, Song Qingyu found that something seemed wrong under a square stone table in the southeast corner of the stone cave, and quickly called Song Qingming to help.

Song Qingming put one hand on the stone table, and after using his spiritual sense to probe into the stone table, he soon found that there was a special spiritual power fluctuation below that was different from the cave. It should be something hidden under the stone table.

Seeing this, Song Qingming's magic power moved, and he first summoned his life magic weapon to protect him. Then he put his hands on the stone table and used his magic power to push the stone table beside him.

After a sound of friction between the stone and the ground, the stone table was slowly pushed aside. Before Song Qingming looked down to see the situation below, a gray spiritual light quickly flew out from under the stone table and rushed straight to Song Qingyu who was standing beside him.

"Be careful, there is a high-level monster!"

Feeling the pressure emanating from the gray spiritual light, which seemed to be stronger than his own, Song Qingming was anxious and immediately controlled the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" magic weapon beside him and flew over to protect Song Qingyu.

Song Qingyu was a little weak at this time because the medicinal power in his body had just dissipated not long ago. He was unable to activate the defensive magic weapon on his body and could only throw out a second-level medium-grade defensive talisman to block in front of him.

This gray spiritual light hit the golden talisman thrown by Song Qingyu as soon as it reached mid-air, forming a protective shield.

But in a moment, this protective shield was torn open with a big hole, and the gray spiritual light directly passed through the protective shield and continued to pounce on Song Qingyu.

Just when the gray spiritual light was about to touch Song Qingyu, the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" that had already arrived nearby quickly shot out a purple light, and suddenly fixed the gray shadow in mid-air.

Although it was only a moment before the other party broke free from the restraints, this also bought Song Qingyu some time, allowing her to quickly step back a dozen steps to avoid the next attack of the gray shadow.

At this moment, Song Qingming had also performed the "Nine Palaces Meteor Escape Method" and flashed to Song Qingyu's side, using magic weapons to protect him behind him.

The gray shadow saw that Song Qingming's cultivation was not low and seemed a little difficult to deal with, so he didn't care about him and Song Qingyu, and turned around and ran towards the exit of the stone cave.

"Qingyu, are you okay!"

Hearing the anxious concern in Song Qingming's tone, Song Qingyu hurriedly nodded and replied with a serious face: "Seventh Brother, I'm fine, the monster didn't hurt me."

Seeing that Song Qingyu was fine, Song Qingming immediately turned around and began to track the gray shadow that had just appeared, but found that the monster had been blocked at the entrance of the stone cave by Xia Mo who had arrived at some point.

At this moment, Song Qingming saw clearly that the gray shadow was a gray mouse about two feet in size. Its cultivation was higher than Song Qingming's, and it had reached the middle stage of the Golden Core. However, its aura was still a little unstable, as if it had just advanced not long ago.

"Fellow Daoist Song, Qingyu, are you okay!"

Just when Song Qingming was about to go over to help, He Mengxin, who had discovered the movement here, had already flown over a step later and asked with concern.

Song Qingming quickly responded, "I didn't expect there was a high-level demon king hiding here. I was a little careless just now and almost fell into its trap. But don't worry, Fellow Daoist He, we are fine!

Let's go and help Fellow Daoist Xia quickly, otherwise the demon king will run away and it will be difficult to catch it!"

Hearing what Song Qingming said, He Mengxin also nodded quickly, and the two flew to Xia Mo to join the battle.

This gray rat demon king is not good at fighting, and he has just advanced to the middle stage of the golden elixir. If he fights alone, he may not be able to beat Song Qingming now.

Facing the siege of Xia Mo, Song Qingming, and He Mengxin, he quickly retreated step by step. In less than an incense stick of time, he died in Xia Mo's hands.

He Mengxin went forward to check the body of the gray rat demon king. Seeing that the demon beast was not big, she directly put it in a cloth bag and put it into the storage magic tool on her body. She planned to find time to deal with the demon beast materials on the demon king after leaving here.

After packing the demon beast corpse, He Mengxin stood up and said thoughtfully:

"It seems that this demon king has just advanced not long ago. It seems that the colorful rays of light seen by the guy who discovered this place before should be the movement when it advanced."

Hearing what He Mengxin said, Song Qingming also nodded and agreed with her guess.

Whether it is a Jindan cultivator or a demon king, when the cultivation level breaks through the realm, some strange phenomena of heaven and earth will indeed occur.

However, the strange phenomena of heaven and earth produced by each person are basically different. When breaking through the small realm of the Jindan period, there may be only an ordinary spiritual light nearby. If it is far away or blocked by a formation, it will not attract much attention.

When breaking through from the early stage of Jindan to the middle stage of Jindan, the scale of the strange phenomena in the world will be much larger. Generally, if it is not covered by formations, it will be easily discovered even if it is a little far away.

Moreover, as each person or monster has a different cultivation method, the situation will also change when the strange phenomena in the world appear. Some are rolling black clouds, and some are shining with colorful clouds.

"This monster king has been hiding in here, which is indeed a bit strange. It doesn't look like it came in from outside. It should be a spirit beast of the owner of the cave, and it has been left here without being taken away.

I don't know how this monster has cultivated over the years, and it has successfully broken through to the middle stage of Jindan."

Hearing Song Qingming say this, the three people standing in place looked at the place where the monster king just appeared, and soon came to a hole covered under the stone table.
