Fairy Tree

After a pause, the young man with the giant ax on his shoulder continued: "Another reason is that once you enter the second floor of the cave, the number of monsters will increase greatly, and there are even many places where you have no choice but to kill them. Most of the monsters in the second floor are high-level mortal monsters, and they come in groups. Even if they can be killed by one person, they are probably in danger, and the risk of their death is extremely high. "

"That's why we formed a team together and relied on our strength to get through the second floor. As soon as we reach the third floor of the cave, our team will be disbanded. After all, everyone's goal is for the Purple Spirit Flower. Once the Purple Spirit Flower is discovered, Traces, even the best friends will fight to the death when faced with the opportunity of the great road. Instead of doing this, it is better for everyone to rely on their own abilities to see if they are favored by God. "

After hearing this, Xiao Lin's expression softened. What the young man carrying the giant ax said did make sense. The first floor of the cave was okay, but the number of monsters on the second floor of the cave even exceeded that of Wanli Snowfield. It was even rumored that there were more monsters in this cave. There are still a small number of true-level monsters on the second and third floors. Once a monk encounters a true-level monster, the probability of his death is almost 90%. Even if he encounters a true-level monster, it is unpredictable.

Moreover, the young man also said that when they reached the third floor of the cave, the team naturally disbanded, and everyone looked for the Purple Spirit Flower according to their own abilities. They might even become mortal enemies on the third floor because of the Purple Spirit Flower. This was very frank, but in fact indeed so.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lin nodded slightly and said, "In that case, I agree to join." After figuring out the joints, Xiao Lin readily agreed to the young man's invitation.

The young man carrying the giant ax on his shoulder smiled when he heard this: "That's great. Since we are all teammates, we still need to get to know each other. Although everyone went their separate ways as soon as they entered the third floor of the cave, but after entering the third floor Before, everyone was never allowed to be suspicious of each other or even plot against each other, otherwise the rest of the group would attack in groups. This is an ugly thing that must be said first. "

Naturally, several people nodded in agreement, and Xiao Lin exchanged names with them. After introducing each other, Xiao Lin knew that the young man carrying the giant ax on his shoulder was named Nangong Chen, and the two monks, one tall and one short, Their names are Wu Changqing and He Musong respectively, and the innocent girl is called Bai Shuangzhi. The four of them are casual cultivators, and they are natives of Xueling Fairy City.

This made Xiao Lin have a higher opinion of Nangong Chen and Bai Shuangzhi. As a casual cultivator, it is not easy to reach the perfection of Qi refining stage. Moreover, Xiao Lin admired Bai Shuangzhi even more. She seems to be a little younger than herself, but she is already at the level of Dzogchen. It seems that this girl must have had some luck, otherwise it is absolutely impossible for her to reach the Dzogchen stage of Qi Refining at the age of eighteen or nineteen.

You must know that the casual cultivators who come to this cave to participate in the trial will not have the qualifications above the Imperial Spirit Root. If you have the qualifications of the Imperial Spirit Root, you do not need to participate in the cave trial at all. Even if you have such qualifications and talents The five major sects are also rushing to collect them.

To be able to practice to the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage before the age of twenty with qualifications below the Imperial Spiritual Root, in addition to practicing hard, it also requires some opportunities. If you also have the True Spiritual Root, then even if you are limited by My own cultivation time is relatively short, but with the help of the spiritual elixir supply in the Spirit Wood Space, even if I cannot practice to the perfection of the Qi Refining Stage, it is still relatively easy to reach the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refining.

It's a pity that the road to cultivation is not a matter of luck, and there is no if. Even if you have such an amazing opportunity as the Spirit Wood Space, if you can't join the five major sects and can't get higher-level spiritual elixirs, Xiao Lin It’s not too far to go on the path of cultivation.

Soon, the five people left Feimang Forest and entered Qingxi Grassland. Due to the wide sight line, Qingxi Grassland was not suitable for ambush and hiding. Therefore, the group of people had a smooth journey and did not encounter the robbers on the bad road. , and the five of them are together, and among them there are two cultivators who have reached the Great Perfection in the Qi Refining Stage. Unless there is a short-circuit in the brain, they probably will not have the idea of ​​robbing them.

Every few miles on the Qingxi grassland, there will be a group of monster beasts, but a few people chose to go far away and did not want to provoke the monster beasts. After all, for them, they must enter the third floor of the cave as soon as possible. Looking for the Purple Spirit Flower is the fundamental thing.

Several people flew by and chatted along the way, which made Xiao Lin have a good impression of Nangong Chen and Bai Shuangzhi. Wu Changqing and He Musong were like two boring gourds. They would never say anything unless Xiao Lin talked to them. , even when facing Nangong Chen and Bai Shuangzhi.

Nangong Chen was just the opposite. He had a cheerful personality and was straightforward. Xiao Lin didn't say much along the way, but Nangong Chen never stopped talking. He even talked about his own origin and the monsters he hunted during the trials in the Tianlu Mountains. They also told Xiao Lin and others about the powerful enemies they encountered.

Although Bai Shuangzhi didn't say much, she listened quietly beside the two of them and only occasionally responded with a few words. I wonder if it was because Bai Shuangzhi, like his sister, both had the word "zhi" in their names. The year-old girls are still somewhat close to each other.

In less than half a day, the three of them became like good friends for many years, talking and laughing along the way. Xiao Lin also let go of most of his vigilance. It can be said that Xiao Lin was the only one who could still talk to him on his path of cultivation. The only brothers and sisters who are less wary of each other are probably Luo Shou and Luo Shuang. In Xiao Lin's opinion, Luo Shou has a straightforward personality and is a decent person, but he is somewhat similar to Nangong Chen.

However, compared to Luo Shuang, Bai Shuangzhi is much more easy-going, elegant and generous, and speaks in a controlled manner. He seems to be eighteen or nineteen years old, but he is already an experienced cultivator. In Xiao Lin's opinion, Luo Shuang is I am still a child with a mostly good-natured nature, and I am relatively shy.

One day later, Xiao Lin and Nangong Chen turned out to be brothers. Even Bai Shuangzhi called Xiao Lin Brother Xiao, which made him feel a lot. His sister Xiao Zhi is probably about the same age as Bai Shuangzhi now, and she should have already died. Get married.

But soon, Xiao Lin put this melancholy away. Now that he has embarked on the road of cultivation, there is absolutely no reason to look back.

Originally, Xiao Lin was at the seventh level of Qi refining and called himself brothers and sisters to Nangong Chen and Bai Shuangzhi, two Dzogchen cultivators in the Qi refining stage. He felt somewhat inferior. Bai Shuangzhi's words about "Brother Xiao" made him very embarrassed. But in After more than half a day, I began to feel calm. After all, although the world of cultivation is based on cultivation, it is for people who are at a higher level or who are not familiar with it. Under the same level, it is Most of them call each other by their age.

After flying for a few more hours, they finally crossed the Qingxi Grassland, which surprised Xiao Lin. He didn't expect that crossing the Qingxi Grassland would be so smooth. Not only were they not attacked by monsters along the way, but also I haven't met any cultivators with bad intentions.

"This Qingxi grassland is the safest place in this cave. The main reason is that although this grassland covers a wide area, it has a wide field of vision and cannot ambush. Even monsters do not like this environment very much, so I believe In comparison, it is the safest place, but we have to be extremely vigilant next time," Nangong Chen said with a smile, seemingly seeing the slight surprise on Xiao Lin's face.

"Brother Nangong is talking about the Stone Forest Canyon?" The Stone Forest Canyon is also recorded in the cave map that Xiao Lin purchased, but the record on the map is rather vague. It just says that it is extremely dangerous, but the specific dangers are unknown. Now listening to Nangong Chen, it seems that he knows something.

"This stone forest canyon is right between two thousand-foot peaks. It is only a few miles wide, and it is the only way to the second floor of the cave. If you want to go around it, in this cave where you cannot control weapons, you need to It will take at least five or six more days, so most monks will choose to pass through this stone forest canyon," Nangong Chen explained from the side.

"Brother Nangong, does he know what dangers there are in this stone forest canyon?"

"Every time the cave opens, many comrades have fallen into this stone forest canyon. Even most of the cave maps sold in Xueling Fairy City are vague about the stone forest canyon. This is not to deliberately hide anything. But few people can be sure what kind of monster is hidden in this stone forest canyon, and even in the Tianlu Mountains, such monsters do not exist. "

"Brother Nangong, does he know?" Bai Shuangzhi, who was listening quietly on the side, glanced at Nangong Chen with his big eyes and said.

"Actually, I'm not sure. I only know that the monster in this stone forest canyon should be a monster that is proficient in dark attributes. There are dark attribute monsters in our Tianlu Mountains. As far as I know, there is only Black Bat Island. The Demon Fang Black Bat, and then the Shadow Python in this stone forest canyon.”

"Shadow Python?" Xiao Lin and Bai Shuangzhi were slightly startled at the same time. Although they had studied the monsters in the Tianlu Mountains in detail, this was the first time they heard the word "Shadow Python".

"In the final analysis, the name of this shadow python is just the name given by the senior monks who entered this stone forest canyon. I also accidentally bought a map depicting the first floor of the cave from a down-to-earth cultivator family, and then I learned about this The name of the monster.

Moreover, there were three seniors of the down-and-out family who entered the cave at that time. Two of them died in this stone forest canyon. It was the desperate protection of these two people that allowed the remaining person to escape from the stone forest canyon, thus drawing the That map. "

"That's it." Xiao Lin nodded. This shadow python seemed to be something to be reckoned with, but then he was a little confused. Is this shadow python still a true-level monster? Otherwise, with so many cultivators in the Qi Refining Period, even if it is really a true-level monster, it may not be impossible to win with more people.

"What is so scary about this shadow python that makes cultivators so afraid?" Bai Shuangzhi asked.

"In this stone forest canyon, there are not many shadow pythons. As long as you don't encounter one, you have a good chance of passing through the stone forest canyon safely. But if you encounter it, you will be unlucky. Although this shadow python It's just an ordinary-level Dzogchen monster, but its strength is comparable to that of a true-level monster. The cultivators it encounters will most likely lose their lives."
