Chapter 143 Seven-color orchid?
"very good."
Bai Mo nodded. The thing was made by someone else, and the name was not bad. He looked at the phantom armor on his body.
The entire armor is not heavy, and is bright silver in color with smooth and graceful lines. There is a dragon-like pattern on the left shoulder armor, and a protruding tooth on the right.
Overall, it was gorgeous and beautiful, yet majestic and domineering. Bai Mo turned his head and looked at Leng Qing who was silent on the side.
"How is it? Does it look good?"
"It's okay, pretty handsome."
"Hehe~"
Maybe the elderly have a poor appetite and can't eat dog food, Huo Tuo said:
"This armor is enough for you to use until you reach the super level. If you can obtain other illusionary snake bones of the same quality, I can even expand it into an illusionary suit for you."
Bai Mo continued to feel the functions of the armor and ignored Huo Tuo. The old guy was making big promises again.
He found that Huo Tuo did not waste any of the power of the strange bone. The mental power that was equivalent to the power of space turned into mental armor to protect his own mind.
Even though he put away the Illusion Armor, the powerful mental guarding ability of this strange bone still existed, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Apart from his own spiritual guardian wind, Bai Mo rarely saw such a passive spiritual guardian defense ability.
Huo Tuo also saw the surprise in Bai Mo's eyes, and he smiled triumphantly.
"You feel it, right? As long as the soul connection between you and the Void Armor remains, it will always protect your mind. From now on, no one can affect your mind unless you let go of your defense or become a super-class mind master."
Bai Mo nodded and praised like a child, "Master Huo Tuo is really amazing, I like him very much."
Huo Tuo nodded in satisfaction, but felt vaguely that Bai Mo's tone was not right. However, the young man left in a hurry with his girlfriend, and he had no chance to ask.
Lingling acted quickly. After just one day, she had sorted out the data on the mud monster and the information on the monsters in the Qianzhou cave.
Due to the special geology of Qianzhou, more than half of the place is rich in soil elements, and there are also complex and dense caves underground that are interconnected.
The dark cave is crisscrossed with water veins, connecting most of Qianzhou underground, forming a demon ecosystem that is very different from the surface.
Because the underground world is hidden from the sun, few mages will take the initiative to enter and explore it, so it is hard to tell what the entire underground world looks like.
It is still unknown to the world, and the mysterious veil has given this cave a mythical color.
It is said that a long time ago, an ordinary person accidentally fell into a cave along the river, and when he came out, he had become a forbidden spell wizard.
When this rumor first came out, it inspired many capable mages to explore the underground world of Qianzhou, but most of them gained nothing, and some even never returned.
Considering that the creatures in the cave had no intention of heading to the surface, the authorities gradually stopped people from meaninglessly chasing rumors.
At this time, the City of Silence was just a fortress city. It had not become the later Capital of Elements. There was no direct transportation route, and one did not have to go to the City of Silence to reach the Dark Cave.
Therefore, Bai Mo and Ling Ling took a plane and landed in Zhucheng. Zhucheng, also known as Zhuyang, is the largest human settlement in Qianzhou, named because it is located south of Zhushan in the north.
Dark caves are not uncommon in Qianzhou, but these things must not be allowed to exist in the city.
But there is a huge group of caves underground near this city. This is the most explored by hunters and the most mentioned in the information Lingling has found.
Mud monsters are widely distributed in the caves, and they may be hiding in every dark crack in the ground.
Aside from crawling over and devouring their target, they have no other offensive capabilities.
Bai Mo took Lingling out of Zhuyang West and walked forward. Not long after, Bai Mo found a large crack leading to the underground.
The crack is nearly fifty meters wide, like a ground window, bringing the light from the sky into the darkness underground and revealing a part of the underground world.
Looking at the high-tech translucent eye mask on Lingling's head, she handed one to Bai Mo. Bai Mo took it and asked:
"Can this thing really help us see clearly in the dark cave?"
"No, I can only make out the outline, but I have prepared a crystal ball for illumination."
"Okay, let's go down then."
Bai Mo pulled Lingling up, a breeze surrounded his body, and he quickly flew up and fell towards the dark cave.
The near-surface area of the cave has already been explored many times. Although it is not very noticeable in the entire huge underground world, it is enough for Bai Mo and Lingling to walk for a long time.
Where there is a lot of human activity, the traces of demons tend to decrease accordingly. Bai Mo did not find any living creatures in this area, but he did find several teams of wizard hunters like them.
As he continued to go deeper, more and more strange things were transmitted back to Bai Mo's mind through sound waves. In the place without light, these underground monsters looked very random.
For example, there was a nest of spiders blocking their way.
The crystal ball in Lingling's hand attracted their attention from a distance, and the gentle light illuminated their rough appearance.
All you see are eyes. This is clearly a world where eyes are not needed, but the millstone-sized shells of the lime-colored spiders are densely packed with dark eyes, one next to another, one pair stacked on top of another.
Sashasasa! Sashasasasa! Sashasasasa! Sashasasasa! Sashasasasa!
They crawled over in huge numbers, and the sound of their dense spider legs sliding on the surface of the rock ground and rock walls was endless. The densely packed black eyes illuminated by the light and reflected a strange glow filled the up, down, left and right in front.
At first glance, it seemed as if the entire cave was covered with eyes.
It makes one's scalp tingle and one's whole body gets goose bumps involuntarily. One may even have a strange illusion that these things are crawling on one's body!
"It's a compound-eyed ground spider! Their eyes can cause hallucinations, be careful."
The moment Lingling saw these things, she turned her head and said to Bai Mo.
"It's even more disgusting than I thought."
Bai Mo complained and flicked his hand. Several silk threads condensed out of thin air. As Bai Mo fiddled with them, it was as if he had pulled out a supreme divine weapon. There was a sound of metal sliding, which gradually grew louder and louder, and then covered the entire cave, completely suppressing the sounds of those compound-eyed spiders.
“Clang~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!”
Lines of sound swept through like ripples along with the huge sound waves. The compound-eyed spiders that were hit by the sound waves seemed to have suffered a powerful impact and cutting, and all shattered.
The sound waves continued, and lines of sound condensed, and large numbers of compound-eyed spiders died.
There were broken limbs all over the ground and blood flowing everywhere. In just a few seconds, the compound-eyed spiders that had been blocking the two people's way were all turned into pieces, covering the entire ground.
Bai Mo continued to move forward with Lingling. The ground waves easily pushed away all the filth along the way, without a single drop of it staining the two of them.
The mud monster is hiding very deep. At least Bai Mo's current sonic detection has discovered some other monsters, but he has not found them yet.
Although these elemental creatures are weak, they have no natural enemies. Except for human wizards, other demons would not be bored enough to attack them.
"Strange, why can't I find it?"
Bai Mo stopped with Lingling. They had advanced eight thousand meters and their detection range had been refreshed. There were many monsters reflected by the sound waves, but there were no mud monsters.
"The mud monsters are only interested in things rich in magic energy, which may not be found in this area. When they are not moving, they are actually not much different from ordinary land. They have no heartbeat or breathing, so it is difficult for your sound magic to detect them."
Lingling reminded.
"Perhaps we should find a place that is rich in elements and may produce natural treasures, such as spiritual seeds. Such a place should attract mud monsters. I brought an element detector."
After saying that, she turned her head and looked around. Through the light shining in the crystal ball, she could clearly see the environment of the underground cave. The rock surface was not dry, but rather moist, with some weeds growing irregularly.
"The element detector will attract demons, and it is not convenient to protect the detector in this cave."
The survey needle of the element surveyor is the main instrument for surveying the distribution of surrounding elements, and is usually buried within a hundred meters around the main component.
If it were on the ground, it would not be difficult for Bai Mo to protect it in this way, but there are many obstacles in the underground caves here, and some places are not even connected and require detours, so Bai Mo does not intend to do so.
"We don't need to know the distribution of all elements. This is Qianzhou, which is underground and rich in earth elements. We only need to know where there are more earth elements."
As Bai Mo spoke, a huge moon-white star map appeared on the ground in front of him. The summoning array began to glow with dots of light, opening the portal to the contract space and calling out the Divine Dust Tiger.
"Daju has a keen sense of the earth element, so it's perfect for it to take us to a place with a strong earth element."
“Meow!”
The big orange cat barked, and understanding Bai Mo's meaning, it led the way towards an ordinary cave.
In the dark cave, they are the only light holding the crystal ball, so they are often discovered when they are still hundreds of meters away from the monsters.
Of course, it was Bai Mo who made them discover it. These monsters could not escape the detection of his sound system, even if there were creatures as immovable as mountains as the mud monsters.
As soon as it senses the two people and makes any movement, Bai Mo will still sense it.
The space inside the cave is extremely irregular. Some roads are so narrow that the Divine Dust Tiger needs to control the rock and soil to expand them, while some places are so wide that they can serve as a sports field.
Some demons like to block the road, while others stay quietly in a corner of a wide area.
The desire for human flesh and blood is engraved in the genes of demons. Even though some demons have never seen humans, it does not prevent them from attacking Bai Mo and Ling Ling according to their instinct after discovering them.
After walking another two kilometers, Bai Mo soon felt a river wriggling and flowing on the land.
They were crawling on the ground in pieces, without any edges or corners, and they kept flowing in one direction, as if something was attracting them.
"Found it!" Bai Mo said happily. He picked up the big orange cat and put it on his shoulder to let it lie down. He then pulled Lingling along and turned into a wind shadow and quickly walked in that direction.
Lingling also reacted quickly and immediately put away the lighting crystal ball in her hand.
The feedback of the sound waves would not let Bai Mo go the wrong way, nor would it cause him to hit the wall. His speed was very fast, and the demons passing by along the way often had no time to react before his presence was visible.
As the distance got closer, Bai Mo also understood the movement direction of those mud monsters. These things have a strong sense of energy.
Bai Mo was also very curious about what could attract them, so through detection, he found that they were all running towards a huge, irregular oval cave, and there were no mud monsters or rock monsters evolved from mud monsters in that cave.
Bai Mo did not get close to these mud monsters, but turned around and went to the huge cave. He did not sense any monsters in the cave, but he did not rule out the possibility of them.
But we'll know once he passes by.
Bai Mo's speed was much faster than those mud monsters. When he arrived there through another cave, the nearest mud monster was still several hundred meters away from this huge oval cave.
Standing at the entrance and ready for defense, at Bai Mo's signal, Lingling took out the crystal ball of light, and suddenly a light of moderate strength lit up, just enough to illuminate the entire cave.
The cave is very large, and at first glance it seems to be the size of a stadium. On the top of the cave, which is several dozen meters high, thick gray-white stalagmites grow. From time to time, a drop of water falls, forming a thin but vast puddle of water on the irregular rock ground below, which also reflects the gray-white light.
On the raised areas where the water paths meet, yellow flowers bloom, without any trace of demons or humans.
The light from the crystal ball fell softly on this space, making the scene clear.
It looks a bit strange and dreamy.
"Is that the Seven-Colored Orchid?"
Bai Mo did not take Lingling in, but stood at the entrance of this magical cave, looking at the yellow flowers blooming on the raised land between the large puddles of water.
He remembered the seven-color orchid flowers that Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu had planted when they participated in a college activity at the Qing campus a few days ago.
A short-lived plant whose flowers have the same color as an element found in abundance in the soil.
"No, the seven-color orchid only has four petals, but these flowers have seven petals. They are somewhat related to the seven-color orchid, but they are not the seven-color orchid. Bai Mo, we are wrong, you are just lucky!"
Lingling first denied Bai Mo's guess, and then continued with excitement.
Bai Mo didn't quite understand, "What do you mean? These aren't seven-color orchids, so what are they?"
"Hehe, you don't know this, right?!" Lingling smiled softly, and then began to explain for him:
"This is a Diyuan flower. Diyuan flower can be said to be an evolution of the Seven-Colored Orchid. If a flower like the Seven-Colored Orchid grows in an element-rich place, its life span will be extended. Every time it is extended by one stage, it will have an extra petal."
"For example, an elemental land that can give birth to spirit seed fragments can breed five-petal seven-color orchids, and their lifespans will be extended by seventy days. A place that can give birth to spirit seeds can breed six-petal seven-color orchids, and the lifespan of six-petal seven-color orchids can reach seven years."
"Then the seven-petal seven-color orchid is the elemental land where soul seeds can be born?"
