"What would happen if the number of silver corpses here was the same as the number of ghosts in the previous place, or even there were golden corpses?" Ancestor Jin Kai looked at the silver corpses with a serious expression and asked in a deep voice.
The Yuanying ancestors who initially looked down on the silver corpse all became serious.
Not to mention the golden corpses, even if the number of silver corpses reached a large extent, the speed alone plus the ability to devour spiritual energy would make these Nascent Soul ancestors very uncomfortable.
Not to mention the Golden Corpse. The dignified Nascent Soul Ancestor couldn't even block the Silver Corpse's sudden attack in the first time, and was bitten on the body. If the Golden Corpse bit him like this, let alone them, even the Jin Kai Ancestor would not dare to say that he would be fine.
The golden corpse's melee combat ability is extremely terrifying. The golden corpse cultivated in this cave may have other special abilities.
"The best way right now is to have one person lead the way, and the others will use their strongest defense on him!" Patriarch Jin Kai glanced at all the Nascent Soul ancestors and put forward his own opinion.
"Let me clear the way!" Patriarch Lou Song of the Disha Sect said with a smile without waiting for other Nascent Soul ancestors to discuss it.
It's not that he is a hero, but this is indeed the place most suitable for him.
According to the previous analysis, this cave has more than two spaces at present. He has tried his best and no danger will come to him again in the future.
"Fellow Daoist Lou, be careful!" Patriarch Lu nodded and said.
"Wait for me to strengthen my defense, and don't hold back. Give me more defense!" Patriarch Lou laughed.
Yellow light kept flashing on his body. The 'Earthly Demonic Art' itself was an earth-attributed art, and it was best at defense.
Without considering attacking, he put all his strength into the defensive secret method of 'Earthly Demonic Art'.
In this environment, it is impossible for him to keep his Nascent Soul out of his body and maintain the form of a Dharmakāya. Such consumption cannot be sustained by long-term exploration, so all his defenses are placed on his body.
Soon his body was wrapped in thick ochre-colored earth-based spiritual power, inside which was a regular pattern composed of the power of the earth, forming a heavy armor on his body.
He nodded to the other Yuanying ancestors, and the other Yuanying ancestors also bestowed their respective defensive secrets on him.
The defensive light on his body became thicker and thicker, and the light of various colors turned him into a colorful ball.
He smiled, patted his defenses, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Let's go!" said Patriarch Lou, waving his hand.
He took big strides forward, and the Yuanying ancestors behind him paid attention to his footsteps, one by one stepping on his footprints.
This time, after walking only a few meters, a silver corpse emerged from the ground and bit Ancestor Lou.
But this time it was unable to touch his body, but was blocked by the secret defense method on the outermost part of his body.
A sword light flew by, and the silver corpse was beheaded by the sword light. This was the Sword Ancestor taking action.
It doesn't take anything for Ancestor Jian to kill this kind of silver corpse, and he doesn't need to keep anything.
"There's something strange about this silver corpse. It has swallowed up some spiritual power with this bite!" Patriarch Lou felt the condition of his body and said in a deep voice.
Although there is no threat, the Silver Corpse's ability is still too weird. The Silver Corpse normally attacks in close combat with its claws, and biting is rarely used in combat.
But the two consecutive silver corpses both used biting as a method, and all of them devoured spiritual energy.
Patriarch Lou spoke as he walked forward. As he walked forward, more and more silver corpses emerged from the ground. At first, only one silver corpse appeared every few meters, but later on, there would be several silver corpses appearing with every step.
Not to mention Patriarch Lou, even the Nascent Soul ancestors following behind him were all scared to death. Every silver corpse required at least one corpse to be transformed. If the entire space was like this, how many corpses would be needed!
Although the Yuanying ancestors have long transcended the mundane world and are accustomed to life and death, they have not yet reached the point of completely disregarding life.
Patriarch Lou was feeling the situation outside his body. Although the silver corpse would devour some spiritual power every time it appeared, the defensive secret techniques outside his body were all imposed by other Nascent Soul ancestors. Only when the spiritual power of the defensive secret techniques outside was exhausted would his spiritual power be consumed.
So his condition was fine, and he was not as nervous about the danger here as before.
Just as he was thinking about it, a silver corpse with a hint of light gold emerged from the ground. It did not attack immediately, but instead let out a scream.
The scream was not loud, but the reaction was huge.
Within a radius of one hundred meters around Ancestor Lou's body, the ground began to surge, and densely packed silver corpses emerged from the ground, attacking Ancestor Lou and the various Nascent Soul ancestors.
"Kill that pale golden corpse quickly!" Patriarch Lou reminded loudly.
It's not that he didn't want to take action, but he had been overwhelmed by countless silver corpses. In such a severely suppressed environment, he couldn't lock onto the light golden silver corpse.
The Nascent Soul ancestors at the back suffered relatively fewer attacks, and they coordinated their actions, so they were able to free up their hands.
Ancestor Jian pointed his hand, and his natal flying sword shot out, shooting towards the light golden silver corpse.
But something unexpected happened. The light golden silver corpse did not pounce on him, but burrowed into the ground again.
The natal flying sword slashed the ground, but did not cause any damage to the ground.
"Why is my spiritual power being consumed so quickly?" Elder Lou's frightened voice came again.
Originally, with the silver corpse's devouring speed, even if a silver corpse could get close to it, the amount of spiritual power it could devour was relatively limited.
However, he was shocked to discover that the spiritual power of the outermost layer of his body's defensive secret technique had been completely devoured by the silver corpse, and the earth-type spiritual power in his body was also decreasing at an extremely fast rate.
A golden light fell on Ancestor Lou, and the support of Ancestor Jin Kai arrived.
"Set up the formation, and you should also return to the formation!" said Patriarch Jin Kai in a deep voice.
All the Nascent Soul ancestors were killing the Silver Corpse, but they all faced the same problem. No matter how weak the Silver Corpse was, as long as it drilled out from the ground, it would always bite the approaching Nascent Soul Ancestor first.
If the silver corpse is not killed in time, it will continue to devour spiritual power.
Fortunately, these were all silver corpses, and they were all Nascent Soul ancestors. After they mobilized the Nascent Soul Dharma Image and cast large-scale spells, they finally cleared out the silver corpses that had drilled out of this area, and no silver corpses appeared under the ground anymore.
The light golden silver corpse never appeared again, and all those that died were ordinary silver corpses.
Although the battle did not last very long, all the Nascent Soul cultivators looked unhappy as they found that their spiritual energy was greatly depleted.
"When this silver corpse is alone, it can only absorb very little spiritual power. But once there are a large number of them, its swallowing ability will increase by more than a hundred times!" Ancestor Jin Kai was still better, but he also consumed one-fifth of his spiritual power. He said in a deep voice.
Of this one-fifth of spiritual power, only a small half was consumed in launching attacks, and the largest consumption came from the devouring of the silver corpse.
"Yes, when I was surrounded by the silver corpses, most of my spiritual power was devoured as soon as I called upon it!" said Patriarch Lou with some fear.
Patriarch Lou was at the front and received the most attacks. He bore most of the attacks from all the silver corpses.
Before his secret attack was completed, most of his spiritual power was devoured by the silver corpse, causing his secret attack to dissipate before it could be completed.
Of course, he did not use the Nascent Soul to leave the body and stimulate the Nascent Soul's Dharma image to attack with all his strength.
But in the situation at that time, his body was surrounded by a group of silver corpses, and he had the support of the Nascent Soul ancestors in the back. He would not risk using the Nascent Soul Dharma Image in the midst of heavy siege.
If these silver corpses could devour the energy of the Nascent Soul Dharma Image, then he would be in big trouble.
"It's really troublesome. When we were performing the Dharma, a lot of our spirit and spiritual power were consumed!" Patriarch Lu nodded.
They, a group of Nascent Soul ancestors, were fighting against a group of silver corpses. It seemed that they had won the battle, but the spiritual power they consumed was several times the amount needed to kill the silver corpses, especially the loss of spirit, which was devoured after they activated the Nascent Soul Dharma Image.
"This place has been cleaned up, there are not many silver corpses left. Let's rest here first!" Ancestor Jin Kai took out a jade bottle, poured out a elixir and said.
Even he had to take elixirs to recover, not to mention the other Nascent Soul ancestors.
In fact, the one who suffered the least loss this time was Patriarch Lou. He lost mostly spiritual power and did not consume any spirit. The other cultivators who displayed the Nascent Soul Dharma Image had some of their spirits devoured.
They rested for an hour this time, not because they didn't want to rest more, but because they were in this environment and they still needed to pay attention to the attacks of the silver corpses at all times.
The light golden silver corpse was obviously intelligent and was hiding somewhere observing them.
"Everyone, use whatever means you have. Having more targets can disperse the silver corpse's attack as much as possible!" Patriarch Jin Kai looked at the Nascent Soul ancestors and said.
He waved his hand, and a completely black steel puppet appeared in front of him.
"This is my Black Armor Puppet. Although its combat capability is limited, its defense is still good!" he introduced.
After the Black Armor Puppet landed on the ground, the runes on its body flashed and an energy shield wrapped around its body.
The black armor puppet, which looked extremely heavy, moved silently and stood beside ancestor Jin Kai.
The Yuanying ancestors did not dare to underestimate this Black Armor Puppet. Not to mention that the materials used to make the Black Armor Puppet were obviously fourth-grade refining materials, the aura exuded by the Black Armor Puppet alone surpassed that of most of their cultivators.
Especially the Yuanying ancestors of the Northern Shu Continent, when they saw the fourth-grade Xuanjia puppet, envy flashed in their eyes.
Think about yourself, and then look at the fourth-grade black armor puppet. You have been searching for hundreds of years for the materials to refine a fourth-grade magic weapon. Then look at Patriarch Jin Kai's fourth-grade black armor puppet. The fourth-grade materials needed for this body are enough to make multiple fourth-grade magic weapons.
This is the gap. In any case, no sect in the Northern Shu Continent can afford to be so generous, and they really can't afford such consumption.
However, the poor have their own ways. With a wave of his hand, Ancestor Lu showed a golden corpse.
It is hard to say whether the Golden Corpse is stronger or the Fourth-grade Black Armor Puppet is stronger. However, the Fourth-grade Black Armor Puppet can be made with only fourth-grade materials, but the cultivation of the Golden Corpse takes too long, and the chance of failure is too high.
An existence like Patriarch Jin Kai would not waste hundreds of years cultivating and refining the corpse again and again just to increase the combat power of the golden corpse.
He only needs to use fourth-grade materials to make a puppet, and he can have combat power similar to that of a golden corpse.
The extra time, if used for cultivation, would allow him to improve his strength faster.
Patriarch Lu looked at Patriarch Lan Weiyan of the Yin Yang Sect, and the other Nascent Soul ancestors who knew something about Patriarch Lan also looked at her.
"Got it. I'll summon him right away!" Ancestor Lan said, giving a glare to several Nascent Soul ancestors.
She waved her hand lightly, and an ugly monk appeared in front of her.
The aura of this ugly monk was extremely strange, vaguely similar to the yin and yang of Old Ancestor Lan's aura, but without the vitality of a living person.
This is the Yang Puppet of the Yin Yang Sect, and the Taoist companion of Patriarch Lan.
The Taoist partners of the Yin-Yang Sect have a relationship of mutual benefit. They use each other's Yin and Yang energy to practice. When the infant is formed, the one who takes priority can plunder the energy of the other, thereby increasing the chance of forming a infant.
And after becoming an infant, you can rely on the practice of the "Yin Yang Harmony Sutra" to refine the opponent into a special puppet.
Because the yin and yang have been in harmony during the cultivation period, the puppet finally formed is more closely connected than puppets refined by other methods.
But Ancestor Lan seldom summoned the Yang Puppet. When she summoned the Yang Puppet, she was reminded of her ugly Taoist partner.
Patriarch Jin Kai looked at the golden corpse and the yang puppet and nodded with satisfaction. Among the eight early Nascent Soul cultivators, it was already quite good to be able to produce a golden corpse and a puppet.
"Let's go!" he said, waving his hand.
His fourth-grade black armor puppet took the lead, and Ancestor Lou fell to second place. On the left and right of Ancestor Lou were the golden corpse and the yang puppet, which greatly guaranteed Ancestor Lou's safety.
Among the many Yuanying ancestors behind, there is one Yuanying ancestor who maintains the Yuanying Dharma form and is ready to launch the strongest attack at any time.
The Nascent Soul Patriarch who maintains the Nascent Soul Dharma Image comes in rotation. With the blessing of the Nascent Soul Dharma Image, the attack power of the Nascent Soul Patriarch will be greatly enhanced. At least when he finds the light golden silver corpse, he can kill it in the first place.
All the silver corpses within a range of 100 meters were killed, and only when they walked out of the range did more silver corpses emerge from the ground.
The fourth-grade black armor puppet in the front became the first target of attack, which left Patriarch Lou with nothing to do for a while.
The fourth-grade black armor puppet had extremely strong defense, but facing this unreasonable silver corpse, its spiritual power was also constantly devoured, and the light on its body became dim after a period of time.
Ancestor Jin Kai tapped his fingers lightly, and a faint connection line appeared between him and the fourth-grade black armor puppet. It was an energy transfer connection, and they could share spiritual power with each other. He transferred the spiritual power in his body to the fourth-grade black armor puppet, and the rune light on the fourth-grade black armor puppet became brighter again.
