Chapter 174 Harvest
Dense black insects flew out of the gourd and blocked the swarm of insects surrounding from behind in a moment. Even the beetle that Wang Zangxiao used as his trump card was unable to break through the swarm of insects.
The poisonous insects of the female cultivator in Shancheng were different from those of Wang Zangxiao. Although their number was not as large, their toxicity was more fierce. The collision instantly tore apart Wang Zangxiao's swarm of poisonous insects. Chen Luo controlled the gourd and surrounded them from the opposite direction.
Wang Zangxiao, who was chasing, changed his expression and quickly took out a black stone and controlled the insect swarm to resist.
Buzz!
The power of the gourd and the power of the black stone collided, sweeping away the surrounding rubble and hitting the cave to arouse the power of the formation. This was the area covered by the Black Stone City formation. The monks from the post station who had led them before were now hiding under the formation and trembling, not daring to raise their heads.
"Something's wrong."
Wang Zangxiao frowned slightly.
According to his estimation, Chen Luo should not have much spiritual power left. However, after the fight, he found that the situation was very different from what he had guessed. After releasing his magical powers twice, the opponent still had the energy left to control the insect.
The most important thing is that this person is very skilled in the art of controlling insects. At first glance, it is obvious that he is a person who specializes in the art of controlling insects.
How is this possible?
When Chen Luo and Lin Feng were fighting before, although he didn't see it all, he also saw the part where he fought with Lin Feng later. This person was clearly a magic cultivator who was also practicing physical cultivation. Practicing both magic and physical cultivation should have exhausted all his energy. Why did he still have the energy to learn other methods?
Could it be that the art of controlling insects is his real trump card? !
The insects fought each other, and the black beetle was trapped. Although these insects were no match for it in a one-on-one fight, it was still easy to trap it.
After realizing the predicament, Wang Zangxiao reached into the storage bag and scooped out two silver centipedes with wings. They penetrated the swarm of insects in an instant like lightning and hit Chen Luo's chest hard.
The silver centipede's pincers were like blades, trying to bite through the skin and injure the internal organs.
The swarm of insects, which were originally evenly matched, changed direction again after Chen Luo was attacked and began to fall into a disadvantage.
"That's all. You dare to provoke me with such little tricks."
His spiritual sense spread out, and Wang Zangxiao, who was controlling two silver centipedes and a black beetle, stood in the middle, confident of victory.
The robe lit up again, and Chen Luo, who had blocked the attack this time, was blown away. His body hit the wall behind him hard, and his eyes turned black.
Too much spiritual energy was consumed in dealing with Lin Feng. Now the spiritual energy left in his body was only one-tenth of the normal foundation-building energy. If he had not used the external brain to streamline his magical powers before, his spiritual energy would have been exhausted by now, and he would have been lying on the ground unable to move.
"Two more special bugs."
Chen Luo had no knowledge about poisonous insects, and he only relied on the instincts of the mountain city woman when she was alive to control these poisonous insects. He was not clear about the trump card in Wang Zangxiao's hand, but he felt that the Gu cultivators, a not-so-conspicuous group, were also very difficult to deal with.
The poisonous insects are at work again.
Wang Zangxiao didn't give him any time to rest. The surrounding insect swarms pressed forward again. The black beetle and two silver centipedes shuttled among the insect swarms. The number of poisonous insects raised by the mountain city woman was too small to stop these three strange insects.
"Use the Yin Lei spell."
The foundation-building brain in the mind that is proficient in thunder magic gave a suggestion.
'Take the Soul-Building Pill, practice the exercises, and restore your Qi, blood, and spiritual power.'
An idea popped into the brain of the tiger demon that had been picked up in the sect. In terms of digestion and recovery, demon cultivators have innate advantages that human cultivators do not have.
Without saying a word, Chen Luo took out three soul-building pills and threw them into his mouth. At the same time, the power in his hands began to change. The spiritual power gathered in his palms and began to transform into the Yin Lei curse.
He also mastered this magical power during his five-year retreat.
"Even pills can't save you."
Wang Zangxiao was not afraid of Chen Luo taking the pill. It takes time to digest the pill. Now that both parties were in a state of fighting, he would not give the other party a chance to sit down and digest the pill.
Eating the pill means that the opponent's spiritual power is about to be exhausted.
This made him more confident, and the swarm of insects became more and more violent, sweeping over like a wave. The poisonous insects that the woman from the mountain city had raised for decades had almost been consumed by now.
Chen Luo's figure flickered, and with the help of the tiger demon's brain, he digested part of the power of the elixir and made up for some of the spiritual power consumed. After avoiding the harassment of the insect swarm, he raised his hands, and a group of twisted black lightning appeared on his palms. The violent arcs twisted and scattered, and all the poisonous insects around him were electrocuted and fell to the ground, even the special black beetle was no exception.
Chen Luo pressed his hands together, and a circle of lightning arcs exploded in all directions with him as the center. The dense lightning snakes cleared the area in all directions without any blind spots. Even the two fastest silver centipedes could not avoid it because there was no way to avoid it.
Wang Zangxiao, who was standing at the back, was also hit by this force. He stood there with his whole body numb and smoke coming out of his head.
"Yin Lei Curse!"
Chen Luo pulled with both hands, and two lightning snakes coiled around his hands, converging into a black lightning that wrapped both of his arms. The power of the Yin Thunder penetrated through his palms and injured himself.
The Yin Lei Curse is an extremely sinister magical power. It is not as righteous as the Yang Lei. The rolling lightning arcs emit bursts of evil spirits that are specifically designed to hurt people's souls.
"Thunder is coming!"
A bolt of lightning flew out of his hand, emitting a faint purple light in the air.
boom!!
With a loud bang, Wang Zangxiao, who had just escaped from the paralyzing effect of Yin Lei, was struck on the forehead by the lightning before he could dodge. The twisted electric arc went down along his head and burned the upper half of his body. Even his foundation-building body could not withstand it.
"ah!!"
With a scream, Wang Zangxiao rolled out in a panic.
The black stone in his hand that controlled the insect flew out. His soul was scattered under the thunder, and large parts of his body were burnt black. The evil spirit around him was like a life-threatening curse, corroding his body.
"Thunder magic?! Why do you also know thunder magic!!"
Wang Zangxiao was almost going crazy, he had no idea what Chen Luo was majoring in. All his previous experience in fighting was of no use to Chen Luo. Every time he adapted to one type, the opponent would immediately change to another, as if he was fighting dozens or hundreds of people alone.
The experience of various different styles of fighting is combined in one person.
"It's Yin Lei."
Chen Luo was panting, his hands were also emitting white smoke, and his condition was almost exhausted. Killing four people of the same level at once, and two of them were in the middle stage of foundation building, this kind of record was enough to make a sensation in Black Stone City, making him an "untouchable" existence among the casual cultivators.
Wang Zangxiao wailed and rolled over, unable to move due to the erosion of the Yin thunder. At that moment, Chen Luo walked over and slashed him with a knife.
The head is separated.
The screams stopped abruptly, and Chen Luo quickly picked up the black stone and the gourd of the mountain city female cultivator, and took back all the remaining poisonous insects. The three special insects still wanted to resist, but under Chen Luo's control, they were forced back.
Only after doing all this did Chen Luo finally feel relieved.
"The middle stage of foundation building. There is such a huge gap between just one realm."
This time it was too dangerous, all the spiritual power in his body was exhausted, and the strength of the mid-stage foundation building cultivator was far greater than that of the early stage foundation building. In Chen Luo's hands, Wu Tiande and Yue Qingping, who were at the same level of the early stage foundation building, were like trash, and he dealt with them like cutting melons and vegetables without causing him any trouble.
All the spiritual power was consumed by Lin Feng and Wang Zangxiao.
Through this battle, he also had a clear understanding of his own strength. Now he should be invincible in the early stage of foundation building, and one of the strongest in the middle stage of foundation building.
He looked at the bodies of the four foundation builders around him and calculated the time. He didn't have time to dig a pit and fill it with soil. Yue Qingping must be in big trouble, otherwise Wang Zangxiao wouldn't have thought of snatching her storage bag. Now that he was dragged in, it was not safe to stay, so he simply rolled up his sleeves and put all the bodies of the four people into the corpse bag, then turned around and flew down the mountain.
I can't go to Black Rock City for the time being, so I have to change my plan and find a place to hide away first.
Wait until the trouble is over and then find a way to come back.
Anyway, he is hiding his appearance, so when the time comes, he can change his identity and become a hero again!
With his spiritual power exhausted, Chen Luo couldn't fly with his sword, so he could only learn from the cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm and fly down the mountain. Fortunately, the elixir in his body was quickly digested, and with the help of the tiger monster's brain, he was recovering at an extremely fast speed.
After sliding down the mountain for a cup of tea, the temperature around him rose sharply, and the effect of the Spirit Building Pill was also digested during this period of time.
With the support of spiritual power, Chen Luo stopped sliding and spread his sleeves.
A magic sword flew out from his sleeve, and then turned into a stream of light, flying away with the sword.
It was a long time after he left that the carriages from the inner city of Black Stone City slowly arrived. When the monks at the post station saw the situation in the cave, they immediately realized that something had happened.
"Five major foundation-building states fought in chaos. All the guests in the Qi-refining state died. The murderer escaped on a flying sword."
After hearing the news, the group of people immediately quieted down.
This matter was beyond their management scope and could only be reported to the inner city. The big shots' affairs should be handled by the big shots, and they were just workers, earning two or three hundred spirit stones a month, so there was no need to risk their lives.
Three days later.
Chen Luo woke up from his retreat in a deserted valley full of green poisonous miasma. In the cave, the body of a two-meter-tall grizzly bear was lying on the side. This cave originally belonged to the grizzly bear. After Chen Luo came down, he killed it and occupied this place.
"call!"
After three days, the consumed spiritual energy was finally almost recovered.
With a wave of his hand, the four foundation-building corpses that he had collected in the corpse bag appeared in the cave. The qualifications of these four corpses were very ordinary, and it would not be of much use to refine them. It might take more than ten years to refine a black-haired zombie in the late stage of Qi training.
This low-level zombie was worthless to Chen Luo, and the cost was not proportional to the gain. The only benefit was that he collected the brains of four more foundation-building cultivators. Now the number of foundation-building cultivators under his control has reached thirty-nine.
Taking out the storage bag of the physical cultivator Wu Tiande, Chen Luo took a quick look and found that there were a lot of spirit stones, some elixirs and body-refining liquids stored in it. They were not poor but not rich either. He checked Lin Feng's storage bag again and found an evil cultivation skill called "Soul Refining Method" in it. This skill was the main skill of Lin Feng.
In order to refine the Soul Banner, this guy betrayed his master and ancestors and refined him. This kind of character means that he will never trust anyone and will always carry any good things with him.
Lin Feng was also very poor, even poorer than Wu Tiande. There were only 2,000 spirit stones in his storage bag, and the rest were all evil spirit beads. In order to refine the soul flag, he invested all his family assets into it, and he was extremely poor.
After packing up Lin Feng's storage bag, Chen Luo checked Wang Zangxiao's storage bag. The storage bag of this Gu cultivator was full of things that insects eat, many of which Chen Luo didn't recognize. Gu cultivation such as insect control was not popular in the Seven Kingdoms, and the corresponding inheritance was also rare.
"The art of raising insects? The Secret Book of Strange Insects."
In the pile of insect feed, Chen Luo found two bone tablets emitting black light. After reading them with his hands, he showed a slightly surprised expression.
The art of raising insects is the practice of the Gu cultivator Wang Zangxiao. The Secret Book of Strange Insects is an ancient book he collected, which talks about many methods of breeding special Gu insects. When he fought with Chen Luo before, the silver centipede and black beetle he controlled were all cultivated by him using the methods in the Secret Book of Strange Insects.
“This wave is considered a big profit.”
A smile appeared on Chen Luo's face.
High risk, high reward. These scattered cultivators are all lone wolves, carrying their belongings with them. As long as you can kill them, you can get everything from them. However, this kind of people are also very difficult to deal with. If Chen Luo was not "outstanding in qualifications", he would definitely be killed by Wang Zangxiao this time.
After packing up the storage bags of three people, Chen Luo set his eyes on the last storage bag.
This is Yue Qingping’s storage bag. Wang Zangxiao came here just to snatch this thing.
"Let me see what's in there."
Chen Luo stretched out his hand and wiped the surface of the storage bag, and the restriction on it was immediately unlocked. Chen Luo had never encountered the trouble of unlocking the storage bag restriction, because he always asked the "person himself" to open it, and the process was extremely safe.
What caught his eyes was still a large number of spirit stones. Among the four people, Yue Qingping was the richest. The spirit stones inside made the already wealthy Chen Luo even more confident. In the future, he would not have to ask the price when buying things in the market.
In addition to the spirit stones, there are also many spirit materials, talismans, and a large number of miscellaneous items.
"Um?"
Chen Luo's eyes flashed, and he immediately noticed a black bone tablet inside.
"Another technique?"
He stretched out his hand and pinched it, and the bone tablet flashed. Strangely, the contents inside the bone tablet did not appear this time, but instead, light golden threads emerged on it.
Ban!
This bone tablet was sealed with a special method, so the contents inside could not be seen. Chen Luo played with it curiously and found four small black characters on the surface of the bone tablet.
The secret of black stone!
"The most powerful secret technique of the foundation-building period, it's mine!"
The moment Chen Luo saw these four words, Wang Zangxiao's brain, which had just been collected in the external brain, popped out involuntarily.
