The deeper into the mountains, the thicker the morning fog.
Starting from Luoxia City Market, it goes deep into the Xiling Mountains for thousands of miles, where the fog is dark and the clouds are thick.
A small swamp appears very abruptly among the overlapping mountains.
On the hill near the edge of the swamp, there is an old mulberry forest. A few drops of dew dot the tender mulberry leaves, welcoming the arrival of the rising sun.
Suddenly.
A wave of spiritual energy spread out from the depths of the swamp, stirring up the fog shrouding the depths of the swamp, causing it to churn endlessly.
The wind and waves also shook off the dew on the mulberry leaves.
The gaze shifted towards the swamp.
A figure dressed in black, wrapped in tight clothes, was fighting with a crocodile monster covered with spikes.
Not only did the man not have a single finger exposed, he even had a hat on his head.
His physique was very strong, and he fought hand-to-hand with the monster, and he was evenly matched, without being at a disadvantage at all.
The crocodile is not an ordinary monster. It is more than five meters long, and the fangs in its mouth are almost longer than an adult's calf. It looks very fierce.
Every roll caused mud and water in the swamp to splash.
The purple miasma came out of his mouth and sprayed onto the vegetation growing around the swamp, instantly turning them into a pool of black water.
If an ordinary monk were to inhale it or have his body touched, it would be quite troublesome.
However, the mist had no effect on the man in black.
He charged headfirst into the miasma and threw a punch into the air, carrying with it a bone-chilling cold air.
Bang! The crocodile's huge body fell down with a sound as the fist hit its body, and it slammed into the mud, splashing mud all over the sky.
The sight moved towards the place where the fist hit, and it was covered with crystal white frost.
"Roar!" The crocodile felt pain and let out an angry roar. It struggled to climb out of the mud and pounced on the man in black again.
The edge of the battle area between the man and the beast.
Kong Ju stood with his legs in the mud, watching the battle coldly.
Seeing the monster stand up again, he gave a fair evaluation.
"The monster's physique is indeed terrifying. Even with such a powerful punch, it still didn't cause fatal damage to this Yanglun Eight Realm Poison Takimiguru."
After saying that, Kong Ju looked at the man in black again and gave him a higher evaluation.
"The strength of the puppet is even more terrifying. This powerful puppet is probably not inferior to the ordinary eighth level of Yanglun physical cultivation. It is also affected by my frost and snow essence. Every punch is cold."
"The physical body and the cold breath are combined into one, the effect is one plus one is greater than two."
The man in black was none other than Xiling, the puppet that Kong Ju had just refined.
Although his physical strength was still far behind that of Yuan Xiao, whose body had been tempered by the evil spirit of the dragon.
However, compared with ordinary physical cultivators, it is not inferior at all.
Coupled with the influence of Kong Ju's frost and snow essence, it is really not easy for an ordinary cultivator at the eighth level of Yanglun to defeat his puppet.
In addition, the puppets cannot feel pain, so once they start fighting, they will fight to the death.
It can definitely shock the opponent in battle.
"It's a pity that the blood of the monster used is only from the seventh level of Yanglun. If it is replaced with the blood of the monster from the ninth level of Yanglun, I'm afraid the strength of this puppet can be improved a lot." While watching the battle, Kong Ju lamented the imperfections of this puppet making.
But even so, it's already very good.
Able to fight against the Yanglun Eighth Realm Demon Beast at close range, this puppet can definitely become his excellent fighter.
After watching the battle for a long time and seeing that the city could not be conquered, Kong Ju could no longer stand idly by.
"It's hard to tell who will win for now. If you keep fighting like this, don't break my puppet."
Muttering to himself, Kong Ju took out the silver bow from his Qiankun bag while Lian Kui and the poisonous Takimura crocodile were fighting fiercely.
He seized the opportunity and shot an arrow at the softest area of the mist crocodile's abdomen.
Swoosh! The arrow drew a brilliant trajectory in the air.
With a long ice-blue arc, it instantly arrived in front of the poisonous Takimiguru crocodile.
Archery star chasing!
Boom! The star-chasing arrow hit the poisoned Takimiguru's abdomen, and a roar like beating a drum broke out.
Although the body of the poisonous Takimizoke crocodile was strong, its abdomen was its naturally vulnerable part after all. In the end, it could not resist Kong Ju's star-chasing arrow and was pierced directly through the abdomen by the arrow.
The terrifying cold force exploded at the wound, instantly freezing the poisonous Takimizor crocodile's internal organs.
"Woo!" The poisonous Takimizole crocodile let out a shrill scream and tried to turn around and run away in pain.
Lian Kui didn't give it any chance to escape. He grabbed the poisonous Takimizor crocodile's tail, swung its nearly five-meter-long body up, and slammed it into the mud.
Poof! Blood with ice chips kept gushing out of the mouth of the poisonous Takimiguru.
Under the crazy attack of the puppet refining master, his eyes gradually lost their vitality and finally became completely dispersed.
"Stop!" Kong Ju's spiritual consciousness moved, and he gave the order to stop the attack.
Lian Kui silently put down the poisonous Takimizor crocodile's tail and stepped aside.
The reason why Kong Ju asked Lian Kui to stop was naturally to take its blood. If he continued to swing it like that, all the blood of the monster would be wasted.
However, it is impossible to collect all the blood from such a large poisonous Takimiguru crocodile.
Kong Ju stepped forward and, following the incantation from the Divine Practice Puppet to extract the essence of the monster's blood, he cast a seal on the wound in the poisonous Takimizor crocodile's abdomen that he had shot through.
That is the blood essence of the monster, and also the essence of the monster.
After storing the monster's blood essence in a jar, Kong Ju asked Lian Kui to peel off the most valuable crocodile skin of the Poison Takimatsu Crocodile. That crocodile skin could be used to refine medium-level magical weapons and was very valuable.
After doing all this, Kong Ju did not leave immediately, but walked slowly into the depths of the swamp with his hands behind his back and the puppet.
In fact, this is not the only way to reach the destination, he deliberately chose to take a detour.
One is to test the actual combat ability of the puppet master and see how strong he is.
The second reason was that he noticed that there was a magical medicine called Blue Crystal Grass in the swamp, which was one of the materials for refining the Small Breakthrough Pill.
Kong Ju has collected most of the other spiritual herbs needed to refine the Small Broken Mirror Pill during this period of time, except for this Blue Crystal Grass.
The reason why the Small Broken Mirror Pill is so precious is largely due to the rarity of the Blue Crystal Grass.
Anyway, the Lingcaotang of the Cangwu Sect doesn’t have Lanjing Grass for sale.
The yield of blue crystal grass is not high. In such a swamp, there are only three plants growing next to the nest of the poisonous Takimatsu crocodile.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
The shape of the leaves of blue crystal grass is somewhat similar to the veins of rice leaves during the seedling stage.
But if you observe carefully, you will find blue crystal fluorescence in the veins of blue crystal grass, which is the symbol of blue crystal grass.
"Three stalks of blue crystal grass can be used to refine three furnaces of small broken mirror pills." After storing the blue crystal grass in a jade box specially used to hold elixirs, Kong Ju left with satisfaction.
He still had to rush to the depths of Xiling, and this detour was entirely for these three blue crystal grasses.
As he walked, Kong Ju glanced at the puppet cultivator following behind him.
He deliberately put the black clothes and hat on the puppet.
In this way, it is difficult for others to see his identity as a puppet cultivator. At most, they will classify him as a cultivator with a lonely personality.
Kong Ju also thought about putting away the puppet refining machine.
But after careful consideration, he decided to use him as an open card.
Its puppet body has excellent defensive capabilities, and when necessary, it can also help itself block magical weapons and Taoist spells.
Compared to hiding it, putting it in the open will obviously make Kong Jue's future actions more convenient.
Kong Ju seemed to have thought of something interesting, and said to Lian Kui with a smile: "From now on, you will be my big brother."
"Yes!" A low response came from Liankui's mouth under the bamboo hat.
Of course, the voice of Lian Kui was also made under the control of Kong Ju's spiritual consciousness.
Its original body is already dead, so how could it possibly respond to Kong Ju?
"It's a pity that my current Jinming Spirit Refining Technique can only barely control one low-level puppet. If I could have a few more, we could form a troupe." Kong Ju thought happily.
As Kong Ju leaves the swamp, we return to the main route.
Along the way, more traces of human activities can be clearly seen.
That's why Kong Ju didn't lose track of those people.
With so many cultivators rushing towards one place and unable to take off into the air like the powerful cultivators, they would inevitably leave traces on the ground.
After walking for another day, Kong Ju finally arrived at his destination at 4 p.m. on the third day.
Standing on the towering peaks.
Kong Ju was standing beside the puppet master.
His eyes widened slightly as he looked at the giant tiankeng on the ground in front of him, which seemed to be the entrance to the underworld and appeared very abruptly in his field of vision.
Whoosh! Strong winds gushed out from the tiankeng, blowing Kong Qi's clothes into a flutter.
The scope of the tiankeng is jaw-droppingly huge, roughly estimated to be twenty miles in radius, several times larger than the city of Luoxia.
Looking down along the sinkhole, all you can see is a deep black, with no bottom in sight.
It is like a huge mouth of the abyss, waiting for its prey to enter.
The area around the tiankeng was already filled with monks, who were scattered around the tiankeng as the center.
The monks were wary of each other, and if they occasionally communicated, they would retreat after just a few words, as they all had a strong sense of vigilance.
Fights broke out among the monks from time to time, and the onlookers would cheer them on.
This place should obviously be a sparsely populated place, but now it is even more lively than the market in Luoxia City.
"Could this tiankeng be the entrance to the Xihuang small blessed land?" After standing on the top of the mountain and looking around, Kong Ju took out a parchment scroll from his Qiankun bag and repeatedly compared the location of the tiankeng in front of him with the map.
It was a surprising discovery that the geographical locations of the two areas were indeed highly overlapping.
This made Kong Ju's expression even weirder.
"This sinkhole doesn't look like the entrance to a blessed land, and how do we get in? Jump down?"
His sight was fixed on the bottomless sinkhole.
The further down you go, the darker it gets, and there are strong gusts of wind that can make even the cultivators lose their balance.
Even the geniuses on the Hidden Dragon List would not dare to rashly go down the tiankeng.
No wonder those monks gathered around the tiankeng and dared not move a step rashly.
"Maybe there will be other opportunities. Let's go and take a look first." Standing there and pondering for a while, Kong Ju led the puppet refining team towards the tiankeng.
Sorry for the late update!!!
