Chapter 416 Underground Wormway



Jiang Li saw a very interesting term in the identification technique.

Source Blood Ancient Leech, this strange black worm, must be a big problem.

“Go!”

Behind him, Gu Heizhuohou shouted and grabbed Jian Mo, who had not reacted yet. He mobilized his spiritual energy and jumped on the black stalagmites to escape quickly, rushing towards the center of the island.

Jiang Li was a little surprised that this guy would take his adopted sister with him when he was running for his life and would even take the initiative to remind others.

But Jiang Li had no intention of escaping with him.

A spiritual light burst out from his right hand and turned into a wooden sword in his hand. With a casual horizontal slash, he instantly beheaded the corpse of the ancient black bull that was rushing towards him in a strange posture.

"Twenty times the spiritual energy consumption? That's really scary."

The energy consumed in simply transforming a wooden sword is enough to create a twenty-meter-tall wooden man in the outside world.

If an ordinary golden elixir came here, it would probably be drained dry after three times.

Hmm? But the bull whose head was chopped off did not fall to the ground.

A group of black tentacles composed of hundreds of source blood ancient leeches burst out from his neck and grabbed his head flying in the air.

He pulled his head back and put it back on his neck. After moving it around, it was just like before.

At this time, more and more black worms emerged from under the rocky ground.

Including the brother and sister, as well as all the other pirates, had all lost their breath and stopped struggling.

Then more and more ancient leeches of source blood drilled into their bodies, allowing them to stand up again.

Bang! Bang! Bang! After being controlled by the black insect, it seemed that their physical potential was stimulated to the limit, causing the muscles of these mortals to swell rapidly, their arms swelled to the thickness of thighs, and then they pounced towards Jiang Li together.

"It's really interesting. It can exert such power without using Reiki."

A blue-black sword light flashed, and all the controlled corpses were chopped into more than twenty pieces.

But just like before, such attacks still couldn't kill them.

Under the pull of the black worm, the broken body stuck together again and continued to pounce on Jiang Li.

In this situation where spiritual energy is lost at any time, it is indeed quite troublesome to face such an opponent who is not easy to kill.

No wonder Gu Heizhuhou avoided them and fled without a fight.

"But bugs are bugs."

Jiang Li slapped the ground and, with the amount of spiritual energy that was enough to unleash the Nine Netherworld Tree Realm, summoned a field of vines that were only as thick as chopsticks and tied up all of these guys.

"Whatever you are, you don't like this."

Jiang Li's aura changed, and the power of Nine Nether Shura was transformed into bloody chaotic energy.

A ball of blood-red light hit one of the controlled corpses.

The corpse, which was still struggling, suddenly stopped.

Then the next moment, as if running for his life, a large number of ancient leeches of source blood gushed out from his body, trying to drill back into the ground to escape.

But how could Jiang Li let them go?

Take out a crystal clear bottle.

He placed his right hand on the bottom of the bottle, and immediately a suction force emerged from the mouth of the bottle, sucking in all the escaping black worms.

Without a parasitic body, these worms are very weak and cannot break through the constraints of the crystal bottle.

You can only climb and squirm inside uselessly.

Then Jiang Li used the same trick again and forced out all the ancient leeches of source blood from the remaining corpses one by one.

Soon, only broken limbs and debris were left on the ground.

"Sure enough, the purpose of these worms' existence is to absorb the blood of the descendants of the dragon head of Hualong Island."

Jiang Li looked at the twenty or so crystal bottles placed on the ground.

Three of the worms in the crystal bottles were emitting a faint red light.

The worms in these three crystal bottles were forced out from Gu Hei Daniu and the twins.

Moreover, these red source blood ancient leeches appear to be more active than other black worms.

They looked like they wanted to go back somewhere.

It just so happens that Jiang Li is free now and can give them a ride.

He rummaged through the coffin and found a compass, which was the equipment given to him by the sect when he was learning rune formations.

It’s a pity that Jiang Li doesn’t need to measure to find the earth veins, he can just use his eyes.

He has never used this compass once.

He reached out and pulled out the pointer on it, then picked out a glowing ancient leech of source blood from the bottle and placed it on the compass.

The worm twisted a few times and immediately crawled in one direction, but when it was blocked by the edge of the compass and found that it could not move forward, it began to crawl randomly on the compass without any pattern.

Is it lost? No, after careful observation, he found that the worm was trying to burrow into the ground.

After thinking about it, Jiang Li stomped on the ground, and a big hole immediately appeared on the hard rock ground.

There was air convection in the broken hole, and there was a tunnel hidden in the rock layer under his feet.

There are also a large number of such worms lurking in the tunnels.

Jiang Li directly brought out three large wine jars that were as tall as a person, pointed the mouth of the jar at the hole in the ground, and followed the same method. After sucking up all the worms inside three times in a row, he jumped in.

After entering the underground worm tunnel, the red source blood ancient leeches that were originally crawling everywhere immediately became much quieter, and climbed in only one direction on the compass.

"Is it in this direction?"

Jiang Li was a skilled and courageous man. Following the guidance of the worm, he walked quickly along the underground tunnel.

In diagnostics, the habit of this worm is "splitting feeding".

That is, the mother splits off from the offspring, which go out to hunt and then return to feed the mother.

Therefore, this worm has a strong anti-nest characteristic, but it should also be similar to insects such as ants, which rely on recognizing a certain special pheromone.

It is impossible to accurately specify the direction on the surface, and the only way to return to the nest is to go back to the underground tunnel.

Jiang Li really wanted to see what would happen after these ancient leeches absorbed the blood and returned. That might be the purpose of the Dragon Head Gu Heitianchou of Hualong Island.

Move forward while capturing the source blood ancient leech.

Jiang Li soon discovered that these underground tunnels were not entirely made by worms.

The main part should be a man-made relic. In some wider sections of the road, you can clearly see regular traces of artificial excavation.

However, due to the long-term gnawing of these worms, the ruins have been destroyed beyond recognition.

The more intricate wormholes also turn the underground into a complex and disordered underground maze.

It would take a lot of time to fully explore such a complex underground maze.

But the cultivators cannot stay in this space for long. I believe that even the dragon head of Hualong Island cannot visit every corner of this relic.

Following the guidance of the ancient leech with red source blood, after walking for a long time, Jiang Li saw a stone wall that had been weathered by time but was still intact.

On it, there is an ancient text engraved.

Jiang Li could not hide the joy on his face. He had seen these words before in the secret realm of Chaoge of King Zhou of Shang.

This place is related to the Human Emperor, and it is most likely the Xuanyuan Tomb!

As Jiang Li touched the ancient words on the wall, a force in his body was automatically mobilized.

This feeling was very strange, and he knew somehow what he should do.

It was stained with blood containing the energy of the Human Emperor and pure dragon blood.

Suddenly the words carved into the stone wall seemed to come alive.

Those words were clearly carved on stone, but they were able to move one by one and automatically climb onto Jiang Li's skin.

There was an entire wall of words covering Jiang Li's entire body. If the words hadn't disappeared afterwards, Jiang Li would have been too embarrassed to face anyone.

After the large amount of ancient characters disappeared from the skin, they directly flowed into Jiang Li's sea of ​​consciousness.

He immediately sat down cross-legged and sorted out the information, which even now made him feel heavy.

"Qi Condensation Technique"

Those texts record such a method.

Its function is also very simple, which is to make the energy in the body become condensed and gathered without dispersing.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Increasing power is secondary. The most important thing is to use it to resist the loss of spiritual energy caused by the sudden drop in spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

From those words, Jiang Li could feel the efforts and struggles of those ancient mighty powers before the coming of the Dharma Ending Age.

This Qi Condensation Technique should be the one that was urgently created by the Human Emperor back then, and then passed on to human cultivators so that they can live as long as possible.

Exhale slowly.

At this time, the large amount of text on the wall in front of him had disappeared, and instead a door and another sentence appeared in front of him.

"The Qi Condensation Technique is complete, you can proceed."

Jiang Li smiled and gave while testing.

Compared with other deceptive ruins full of traps and calculations, the inheritance place of the Human Emperor is still as considerate as ever.

This is the responsibility and care of the emperor of the human race towards future generations.

Jiang Li appreciated the care of his ancestors.

He closed his eyes again and silently tried to practice this Qi Condensation Method.

Isn't this kind of environment where spiritual energy is constantly being lost the perfect environment for practicing Qi Condensation Technique?

. . . .

On the ground, Gu Heizhuohou, who had quickly covered most of the distance by consuming his spiritual energy, finally couldn't hold on any longer. His feet went soft and he fell to the ground with Jian Mo.

The closer you are to the center of the island, the faster the spiritual energy dissipates.

Now the last spirit stone in his hand has turned into powder, and he just flew and jumped and ran so far.

He could feel that his Nascent Soul had become wrinkled and began to shrink.

The consequences of the Nascent Soul being shattered are much more serious than the Void Pill dispersing, and it basically means death.

"You have a good subordinate who is willing to block those bugs for us."

He smiled bitterly and shook his head, then looked back and found that Jiang Li had not caught up with him, so he made up a reason in his mind.

I couldn't help but look at this cheap sister with some surprise.

It is hard to imagine how a "Nascent Soul cultivator" could do this for a mortal.

"Mr. Li Jiang is not my subordinate, he is my benefactor!"

Hearing Gu Hei's deep and profound words, Jian Mo could not help but her eyes turned red, and two lines of tears flowed from them.

From childhood to adulthood, apart from her mother, Jiang Li was the only one who recognized her and treated her best.

At the beginning, he rescued "Mr. Li Jiang" from the sea, and used black pearls to heal his wounds, which moved this powerful monk.

And "Mr. Li Jiang" risked his life to rescue them on the boat despite being seriously injured.

In order to help her and her mother, he not only came to the dangerous Hualong Island even though his injuries were still not healed, but now he is also using his body to protect her from danger.

They had only known each other for a few days, but she felt that they were already close friends who had risked their lives for each other several times.

Mr. Li Jiang's kindness completely captured her homeless heart.

For the rest of her life, Jian Mo would not hesitate at all to become his slave, let alone pledge her body to him.

"Don't just stand there, he may not be dead yet. If you can pass the trial in time and become the young master of Hualong Island, you can bring people to rescue him."

"Now, do as I say and use these thorns to seal the acupuncture points all over my body!"

When Jian Mo's eyes were blurred with tears, Gu Heizhuohou found a thorn nearby.

After pulling off the long thorns on it, he gave it to this cheap sister.

"Mr. Li Jiang! You must wait for me! I will definitely come back to save you!"

Wiping away her tears, Jian Mo, who had been strong and capable since childhood, grabbed the thorns, aimed them at the position that Zhuo Hou told her, and stabbed them fiercely into the body of the young master in distress.

"Hiss! You missed the target!"

Gu Hei Zhuo Hou:(*) After some unprofessional thorn sealing, Gu Hei Zhuo Hou, with the support of Jian Mo, continued to walk towards the center of the island.

The closer to the center of the island, the faster the spiritual energy will be lost. As time goes by, Young Master Zhuohou will soon lose all his strength and be on the verge of death.

He knew very clearly that he could not reach the Dragon Pond by his own strength.

Gu Hei Zhu Hou would choose to bring along a mortal like Jian Mo. Only a mortal who is not affected here can possibly take him to the end.

. . . .

One hour, two hours, three hours.

In an underground tunnel, a strong wind was blowing.

Because somewhere in the tunnel, there was a figure sitting cross-legged on the ground. He was like an inexhaustible spring of spiritual energy, spewing out large amounts of spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy surged out so quickly that one could even see a ball of spiritual energy flame on his body that was at least ten feet high.

As Jiang Li formed seals with his hands, the aura on his body sometimes spiraled, sometimes contracted, and sometimes burst out more exaggeratedly.

An ordinary cultivator would have died countless times if he had sprayed spiritual energy like this, but Jiang Li's expression did not change at all from beginning to end.

After a total of one hundred and eight seals, Jiang Li's Dragon Ball Golden Pill suddenly shook, emitting a force that caused the spiritual energy around him to begin to gather and solidify.

The spiritual energy around Jiang Li also began to shrink and slowly returned into his body.

[The Qi Condensation Technique was performed successfully, and the condensed Qi gathered and acted on oneself. 】

[Condensed Qi: Condenses the spiritual energy, resists 80% of the scattered spiritual effects, increases the power of the spiritual energy by 30%, and lasts for 3 seconds] (-+)

Jiang Li's face lit up with joy, it worked!

It took him three hours of trying before he successfully performed the Qi Condensation Technique for the first time.

Although this time the Qi concentration can only last for three seconds and is extremely unstable, it will immediately return to its original form if the concentration is distracted or moved. It is far from being successfully practiced.

But for him, it was enough.

Press the plus button once, then hold it for five seconds.

This state of [solid aggregate] was solidified in his body.

I stood up and felt it. Sure enough, although the spiritual energy in my body was still being lost, the speed had slowed down a lot, now only about 20% of the original amount.

It is impossible to completely stop the dissipation of spiritual energy. If it were possible, the immortals and Buddhas of ancient times would not have disappeared without a trace.

After completing the Qi Condensation Technique, Jiang Li stood up and pushed forward. The stone door made a heavy friction sound, revealing the passage behind it.
