This seems too outrageous.
The giant insect egg beast attacked again, but this time Ning Wan directly unleashed an extremely brilliant sword and directly collided with the giant insect egg beast.
Her sword was very powerful, killing a large number of insect eggs on the giant beast's body. However, in a flash, the eggs in the pit were replenished.
"Ning Wan, we have to deal with the other insect eggs first!" Zhou Qing shouted.
Ning Wan could see this without him reminding her.
What he really meant was that he wanted to tell Ning Wan that in order to deal with this giant insect egg beast, these insect eggs would have to be abandoned. They could not be taken away and had to be destroyed on the spot.
Otherwise, Zhou Qing suspected that even if he could kill this giant insect egg beast instantly, it would still be able to regenerate in endless insect eggs.
According to the current situation, the behemoth may not be killed until these insect eggs are eliminated.
If you ignore the remaining insect eggs and fight the behemoth to the death, even if you win in the end, you won't get the eggs.
Ning Wan responded immediately, "I understand. I'll hold this monster back while you deal with the remaining eggs."
Very good, very sensible, not greedy, and knows what is more important.
When it comes to dealing with insect eggs, Zhou Qing is a professional.
He threw a handful of yang fire into the big pit, and the insect eggs immediately turned into the best fuel. With a whoosh, the flames shot up into the sky.
There were continuous crisp sounds and the stench filled the air.
The fire was so fierce that yang fire also appeared on the body of the insect egg monster, which greatly affected its existence.
Because this giant beast was not a normal creature to begin with, and now the Yang Fire was using endless insect eggs as fuel, and with Ning Wan's continuous attacks, the giant beast actually fell down.
It wanted to reorganize, but there was yang fire everywhere and the eggs were constantly being burned. After it reorganized, it immediately fell down again without any support.
Ning Wan came to Zhou Qing and stared at the vast sea of fire in front of her, with a strange light flashing in her eyes.
"Peerless Taoist magic, indeed extraordinary."
If a normal warrior monk faced this insect pit, he would definitely be in a very difficult situation.
But at this moment, under the underground fire, the terrifying insect pits have become commonplace.
"This monster was just restrained by me." Zhou Qing shook his head and was not proud of it.
The existence form and basis of the insect egg monster destined it to be difficult to resist the yang fire.
Ning Wan didn't say anything, thinking that Zhou Qing was really modest.
She also increasingly felt that inviting Zhou Qing to go along was a wise decision.
Even if it was a peerless genius from other sects, it would be impossible for them to perform better than Zhou Qing when facing the worm pit.
Thick smoke billowed until all the insect eggs were burned and nothing remained.
At this time, Zhou Qing's expression changed and he said, "There is something at the bottom of the pit."
He separated the yang fire, and a passage leading directly to the bottom of the pit appeared in front of the two.
There is a bowl there.
This is what Zhou Qing had just sensed through the Yang Fire, and even the Yang Fire could not burn it in a short time.
A flame enveloped the bowl and carried it upward.
"What is this?"
This bowl looks like the size of a palm when it is opened. It doesn't look very good, as if it was made of yellow mud by someone. There are various insect patterns engraved on the bowl.
Ning Wan observed it for a while and said, "This should be a magical tool used to control and raise insects."
"That has something to do with the insect pit here."
Zhou Qing handed the yellow clay bowl to Ning Wan and motioned her to keep it.
Ning Wan was not polite. Everything had been decided in advance regarding how to distribute it.
However, after the previous journey, Ning Wan had some new ideas in her mind.
After returning to Zhongtian City, I will give Zhou Qing a reward.
A strange fire from heaven and earth with a holy god around was already not unfair to Zhou Qing.
But Zhou Qing's performance along the way was so good that Ning Wan felt that it was a very good thing to get closer to such a genius.
However, the things in the tomb still have to be distributed according to the rules set previously.
It’s not that she was reluctant to do so, but mainly because this was her mission. She had to take some things back and hand them over to the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce, only then would her mission be completed.
No matter what, Ning Wan couldn't do this task carelessly.
Zhou Qing didn't know what Ning Wan was thinking, and he didn't really care about the extra compensation.
As long as you can successfully obtain the ghost corpse fire, it will be enough.
"There are two doors this time, which one should we enter?" Zhou Qing asked.
"The one on the right."
There was still a handprint next to the door. After pressing it, the stone door opened with a bang, and there was a passage behind it.
"There are corpse puppets."
Another corpse puppet walked out from behind the door. This time it was not wrapped in a layer of stone skin, and a fierce aura spread.
"Marrow Cleansing Corpse..."
Before Ning Wan could finish her words, the corpse puppet had already flashed in front of them and punched down with a terrifying force.
Zhou Qing's body was covered with heavenly light, protecting him. The Taibai sword was also covered with a layer of red light, which was the Shangyang true power he cultivated.
With the existence of the placement bar, there will definitely be no problem in getting started with this true blood martial art.
"boom!"
The air wave exploded with a loud roar.
Zhou Qing was knocked out.
He does not use his soul to leave his body to fight the enemy, but mainly relies on martial arts, supplemented by Taoist magic. If he fights head-on, he is no match for the one in the Marrow Washing Realm.
Fortunately, Ning Wan was there to share a lot of the pressure, so he didn't suffer any injuries.
With Ning Wan's background, she is undoubtedly the peerless genius of the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce. She is also in the Bone Refining Realm, so is very strong.
Whether in terms of strength or realm, Bai Ruoyue is not as good as Ning Wan, the gap is huge.
But in terms of martial arts prowess alone, Zhou Qing is no match for her.
There is nothing to be embarrassed about admitting this, since he has not yet broken through to the Bone Refining Stage.
He had cultivated to this level in less than seven months, which was already incredible.
There is only one step between the limit of the internal organs and the initial stage of bone refining, but for people who are also peerless geniuses, the gap is huge.
"Zhou Qing, be careful, I'll take the lead!"
"good."
Zhou Qing had a way to deal with a corpse puppet at the Marrow Cleansing Realm by himself, and under the siege of the two of them, it would be even less likely for him to cause any waves.
Needless to say, it was soon put into Ning Wan's space bag and became a trophy.
"After fighting with puppets twice, I found that this kind of puppet has too many limitations."
Zhou Qing shook his head and said, "Unless it is a special puppet, otherwise it is difficult for this thing to be a match for practitioners like us at the same level."
What kind of special puppet could make Zhou Qing feel difficult to deal with at the same level?
Either the refining materials are special and very strong and difficult to destroy, or there are other special means.
Or simply a spirit puppet.
The body of a puppet is generally harder than that of flesh and blood. If it is a spirit puppet, it will be very powerful.
Ning Wan said: "The mainstream puppets today are indeed a bit rigid, but this is also the reason why all the major forces are interested in low-cost and popular spirit puppets."
"Unfortunately, no one has successfully cracked how the Tianming Sect's spirit puppets are manufactured on a large scale."
Although Zhou Qing had come into contact with spirit puppets, he didn't know how this thing was produced on a large scale.
If we follow Zhou Qing's method of cultivating the Yibao Miao Tree to cultivate spirit puppets, it would be too troublesome and costly, and it cannot be considered popular.
Therefore, there must be some mystery behind the Tianming Sect's crafting of spirit puppets.
First, create a spirit puppet, and then cultivate it using the method of awakening the spirit and nourishing the spirit.
As they were talking, the two of them stepped into the door on the right.
This time the passage behind the door was very bright, and the light from the stone lamp made it as bright as day.
Unlike the previous passage, there are murals on the walls on both sides of this passage.
Zhou Qing compared them and found that the contents of the murals on the left and right were actually the same. Looking forward, the entire passage was filled with the same murals, so he sighed.
“There are so many murals.”
The first mural showed a person walking into a mountain range. The person only had a back view and it was obvious that he was a man. The mountain range...
Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)
"It seems to be the Earth Corpse Mountain Range?" Zhou Qing said.
Ning Wan studied it for a while and nodded, "It looks like it, but the Earth Corpse Mountain Range on the mural is not shrouded in corpse qi."
“Maybe it’s not drawn.”
The second painting shows a man and a beast confronting each other in the air.
The man still only had a back view, but he was obviously the man in the first mural.
The beast was a creature with wings on its back, and the rest of its body was exactly the same as a dragon.
This is a branch of the dragon clan.
The third mural shows the pterosaur being killed by the man with the back view.
In the fourth mural, the man with his back to the camera is facing another beast, a golden roc. Paint is used on the mural to highlight the roc.
Zhou Qing and his companion walked forward carefully while looking at the murals.
The following content is about the man with the back facing away fighting with various enemies, including monsters and beasts, as well as human opponents.
But in the end, the man with the back view won.
Zhou Qing suddenly said, "Something is wrong."
"There aren't that many normal creatures in the Earth Corpse Mountain Range."
This place is filled with a strong smell of corpses, and normal creatures cannot survive there.
The monsters and beasts killed by the people in the murals do not have any characteristics of corpses.
Ning Wan said: "I'm not sure, maybe the murals are not detailed enough."
As the man in the back killed more enemies, he was no longer alone and had followers supporting him.
Those followers were all portrayed with frontal images, except for the man in the core figure of the mural, who only had a back view and never showed his face.
"Strange." Zhou Qing whispered.
Ning Wan asked, "What did you find?"
"Why do you think the protagonist of this mural always has his back to others?" Zhou Qing said.
"Maybe the person who left the mural did it on purpose." Ning Wan thought for a moment and said:
"This tomb is most likely the tomb of the owner of this silhouette. These murals were probably carved by his followers."
Zhou Qing didn't say anything else. In fact, if it wasn't the wrong place, he really wanted to say it.
Who would turn their backs on all living beings? But now we are in someone else's grave, so we should not say this, so as not to disturb the dead.
This passage is surprisingly quiet.
Zhou Qing and his companions had not encountered any danger since they came in. It seemed that this was a place specially designed to house these murals.
Later on, battles rarely appeared in the murals. The man with the back was sitting cross-legged on a mountain practicing, and most of the time it was his followers who handled various matters.
The mural shows a simple depiction of several of the followers.
For example, in one picture, there are always insects around him.
There is another person who, whenever he appears, is accompanied by a puppet.
It is obvious that the dangers that Zhou Qing and his companions encountered before must have been caused by these followers.
It has to be said that some of the methods are quite magical, so it can be seen that the strength of those followers should be quite strong.
"The mountain he has been staying on seems to be the mountain where we entered the tomb?"
"Yes, very similar, I think."
The content of the mural entered a calm period, but after Zhou Qing and the other person moved their gazes again, the content of the mural underwent a very abrupt change.
In the previous mural, the man with the back view was still practicing on the mountain, but in this mural, he was no longer there. What appeared in the center of the mural was a coffin, and his followers were kneeling next to it.
Zhou Qing was stunned for a moment, "Uh, did he have an accident?"
The two stopped in front of the mural and observed it carefully.
There is probably no one else except the man with the back who can make a group of followers kneel down.
"It feels a bit abrupt." Ning Wan also said so.
The previous mural was still fine, but when the scene changed, the person was gone.
Going further down, there is a mural of many followers digging enthusiastically on the ground, and the next one shows the prototype of a building.
Obviously, this is building a cemetery for the man with his back to the camera.
The structure of the cemetery was not depicted in detail, it just expressed an image, so Zhou Qing and his team could not learn any relevant information from the murals, and thus gain any advantage in subsequent explorations.
Then there is a scene where several followers who had done more work before carry the coffin and send the man with the back to the cemetery.
And this passage is almost coming to an end, but no danger has appeared.
In the mural, after the man with the back view was buried, his followers had a party, and then there was a scene where each of the followers left the mountains in the painting.
In the penultimate mural, there is no living creature, only a mountain range.
Most of them are exactly the same as the mountain that the man with the back view entered in the first mural. The only difference is that this mountain is now shrouded in fog.
The source of the fog is this tomb.
Zhou Qing and the other man looked at each other and understood the meaning of the mural.
"The mountain that the tomb owner first entered was indeed the Earth Corpse Mountain Range, but it was probably not called that name at the time." Zhou Qing said: "The reason why the Earth Corpse Mountain Range has become what it is now is probably because after the tomb owner died, his tomb affected this area, turning it into a treasure land of corpses."
Ning Wan nodded, somewhat surprised, "The tomb after death has affected a mountain range. The strength of this tomb owner must be very strong."
Zhou Qing also thought so. Although the changes in the Earth Corpse Mountain Range did not rule out the possibility that those followers had engraved some formation in the tomb.
But if the tomb owner is weak, the formation will be useless.
There was only the last mural left. As soon as Zhou Qing and the other man laid their eyes on it, their pupils suddenly shrank and their hearts were shocked.
"how so?"
Ning Wan talked to herself, her voice full of disbelief.
The content of the last mural is divided into two halves, left and right. On the right side is an open coffin, which is empty inside.
On the left, a figure was leaving the Dishi Mountains.
That back figure is the man with the back figure!
The most important thing is that the last mural is different from the previous ones.
The mural in front is integrated with the wall and looks natural.
And the last one was engraved later.
Who is it?
