Chapter 7 Iron Mouth Pig
The huge iron-mouthed pig in front of him lost its direction because of the formation. It angrily bumped around in the formation, knocking down some smaller trees in the forest.
The fog formation outside Lingyuan Mountain, which has been opened for many years, is a mid-level concealment formation. It is mainly used to trap those intruders in a short period of time and give the monks guarding this place time to react.
Another set of defensive formations requires the monks to use spirit stones to assist in driving, and it will only be activated when encountering those high-level monsters.
Because the consumption of spirit stones to operate the formation is too high, the defensive formation will not be activated unless it is absolutely necessary. Song Qingming has been in Lingyuan Mountain for half a year, and he only saw his ninth uncle Song Changxin activate it once when dealing with a high-level three-eyed monster wolf that strayed into the mountain. In the end, although he successfully drove away the monster wolf, he also consumed a full five spirit stones. Both uncle and nephew felt a little painful afterwards.
This iron-mouthed pig is a mid-level monster, three times the size of an ordinary wild boar. It is as hard as iron and has amazing defense. Except for being afraid of fire, it has no obvious weaknesses. However, compared with other mid-level monsters, the iron-mouthed pig has a slightly weaker attack ability. It only has a pair of sharp iron teeth on its mouth, which poses a greater threat to the enemy.
Song Qingming thought calmly for a while, and did not rush to notify Song Changxin who was in retreat. He first used a spiritual light technique to carefully observe the monster to see if he could drive it away with the formation.
The spiritual light technique is a spell that can enhance the eyesight of cultivators. After Song Qingming used it, although there was fog shrouding a hundred feet away, he could see it clearly in his eyes.
"Hey, this guy seems to be injured." Song Qingming, who was blessed by the spiritual light technique, saw that there were many scars on the iron-mouthed pig, which seemed to have fought with other monsters not long ago. This really gave him some unexpected surprises.
I have been in Lingyuan Mountain for so long. Because the main task of the garrison here is to protect the family mortals and the black iron veins in the rear, every time I encounter the harassment of monsters, I basically drive them away. In the past six months, Song Qingming has only killed a low-level civet cat that went too deep.
I have always wanted to have a chance to prove the results of my recent cultivation. The injured iron-mouthed pig in front of me is a genuine mid-level monster, which makes him feel a little itchy.
After thinking for a while, Song Qingming still didn't want to miss this rare opportunity. With his cultivation in the middle stage of Qi Refining, plus he also brought a set of formations with him, even if he couldn't kill the iron-mouthed pig as he wished, he still had the confidence to drive him away.
Song Qingming got up and quietly touched a flat ground not far away, waved his hand to drop a few formation flags, and patiently hid not far away and stared at the movements of the iron-mouthed pig.
Half an hour later, the Iron Mouth Pig's reckless charge finally reached the edge of the fog. Just when it was about to break out of the fog, a huge fireball hit it from the front, hitting the Iron Mouth Pig's huge pig head.
Then Song Qingming, who had been hiding nearby, shouted and jumped out from the front of the Iron Mouth Pig to block its way forward.
The Iron Mouth Pig, whose face had just been burned black by the fireball, saw Song Qingming, and his eyes gradually turned red. He stared closely at the culprit human cultivator in front of him, then bent his body back to accumulate strength, raised his steel teeth in his mouth and rushed towards the position where Song Qingming was standing.
Seeing this, Song Qingming quickly used an earth wall technique to block in front of him, then stood up and jumped onto a big tree to avoid the angry attack of the Iron Mouth Pig.
With a loud rumble, a cloud of dust was raised. The earth wall only slightly slowed down the attack speed of the iron-mouthed pig, and was shattered by it. However, Song Qingming in front of it had disappeared in front of it at this time. The iron-mouthed pig turned around and continued to look for Song Qingming.
Song Qingming, who was hiding in the tree, jumped into the air and touched the storage bag on his waist. A black iron sword instantly appeared in his hand. He held the sword with both hands and chopped it towards the top of the iron-mouthed pig in front of him, just on the hard steel teeth of the iron-mouthed pig.
With a loud "bang", Song Qingming staggered and was shaken back several steps, and his hands felt numb. The iron-mouthed pig was also dizzy. Just after recovering from the injury, a large amount of blood flowed out again.
"This guy is really thick-skinned. If he hadn't been injured, I really couldn't do anything to him in a head-on fight."
Seeing this, Song Qingming stopped pestering and raised his legs to run back. Seeing that the monk who annoyed it wanted to escape, the iron-mouthed pig also chased forward angrily.
Song Qingming looked back at the Iron Mouth Pig that was chasing him quickly, and quickly took out a speed talisman and stuck it on his feet, speeding up to distance himself. He ran a few hundred steps and rushed into an open area. Song Qingming stopped and looked at the four formation flags that had been set up around him. He took a breath and turned to face the Iron Mouth Pig that was running fast.
As soon as the Iron Mouth Pig entered the formation, Song Qingming immediately used two earth wall techniques to clamp it in the wall. When it just broke free from the earth wall, Song Qingming had successfully activated the formation that had just been set up.
The five formation flags on the ground emitted a burst of yellow glare, and the ground shook violently in an instant. The ground several feet below the Iron Mouth Pig quickly sank to form a huge pit several feet in size, which was the Earth Marsh Formation.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the iron-mouthed pig quickly knocked open the earth wall in front of it and wanted to jump up from the ground, but the mud under it had become as soft as a swamp, so it could not find a leverage point at once, and half of its body was stuck in the mud. Soon, green vines quickly grew on the walls of the four corners of the giant pit, entangled towards the iron-mouthed pig in the formation, and instantly imprisoned it.
The iron-mouthed pig in trouble kept shaking its body hard to get rid of the things wrapped around it, but those green vines were very tough. With the continuous injection of Song Qingming's spiritual power, they continued to grow from all around the formation. It only broke a few vines, and more vines entangled it. Not only did it not break free, but it became tighter and tighter.
This iron-mouthed pig was already injured, and it made a big fuss in the mist formation. It already had little physical strength left. Now it is estimated that it can't even exert half of its strength before the injury. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the ground formation activated by it alone to trap it so easily.
As time passed, the movements of the iron-mouthed pig trapped in the formation became quieter and quieter. It was already seriously injured, and its violent struggle exhausted all its physical strength. It slowly lowered its fierce head unwillingly, and the air in its mouth could only go out but not in, with a dying look.
Seeing this, Song Qingming slowly put away the spiritual power in his hand, and once again summoned the black iron sword, jumped high, and cut off the huge head of the iron-mouthed pig with one sword.
Looking at the huge corpse of the iron-mouthed pig, Song Qingming showed a satisfied smile. Although this battle was a bit thrilling, it was also quite rewarding.
The pair of steel teeth on the mouth of the iron-mouthed pig are good materials for refining weapons, and the hard pig skin can also be used to make robes. After collecting the valuable materials, Song Qingming called the young mortals in the village to carry the remaining pork of the iron-mouthed pig back to the village together.
The flesh and blood of monsters are a great tonic for both cultivators and mortals. Song Qingming put part of the pork into his storage bag and distributed the rest to the villagers, which was enough for them to eat for a long time.
The mortals in Lingyuan Mountain rarely eat monsters, so they are very grateful for Song Qingming's generosity and respect the young immortal master in front of them even more.
After finally getting some valuable monster materials, Song Qingming also began to plan to return to Funiu Mountain to exchange for a mid-level magic weapon at the family's gold storage building. Now that he has collected enough spirit stones in advance, with a mid-level magic weapon in hand, Song Qingming's combat effectiveness when fighting against the enemy can be greatly improved.
An ordinary mid-level magic weapon requires about 20 spirit stones. The pair of steel teeth of the iron-mouthed pig can be exchanged for about 7 or 8 spirit stones in the market. With these materials and some spirit stones, it should be no problem to exchange for a mid-level flying sword.
