Chapter 147: Apprentice vs. Immortal (24)
The butterflies surrounded the flying insects and clinged tightly to their bodies. Each flying insect was covered with butterflies. Scarlet spots of light flickered under the warm white light, and all the covered flying insects were motionless in the air.
It covers the entire cave entrance in front, and at first glance it is shocking yet magnificent and breathtakingly beautiful.
Yu Ying was so shocked that his jaw dropped and he stood there staring blankly.
Xu Jinxiao curled the corners of his mouth, his fox eyes were smiling, and the scene in front of him was reflected in his eyes.
The next moment,
"Bang"
"Bang"
…
Several muffled sounds erupted from the air, and each pure white butterfly wing was splashed with bright red liquid from the automatic explosion of the flying insects. It quickly disappeared and melted, turning into white light spots that dissipated in the air.
The liquid dripping onto the ground hissed, corroding a large area of the stone and gradually disappearing.
Yu Ying finally came to his senses, turned around and looked at Xu Jinxiao with admiration, clasped his hands together and said devoutly, "Big Brother, can you give me a few of these talismans?"
Xu Jinxiao laughed and said, "It's just an ordinary spirit gathering talisman, with some slight modifications to it."
"Oh? Is it possible?"
Yu Ying asked curiously, interest written all over his face.
"Well, let me teach you how to draw."
Xu Jinxiao patted his shoulder and continued walking forward.
"Okay, okay, Senior Brother, you must teach me when you get out!"
Yu Ying's eyes lit up and he quickly followed Xu Jinxiao.
Soon after passing through the winding caves, they arrived in front of a deep pool. A white lotus was blooming on the inky black water.
The petals are as smooth and delicate as if embroidered with silver thread, and are made even more delicate and smooth by the emerald green lotus leaves.
The two were amazed when they saw it, and Yu Ying's eyes turned into stars in an instant.
"Big Brother, this lotus is so beautiful that it doesn't seem to be from this world. Do you know what it's called? I've never seen it before."
Xu Jinxiao shook his head, he didn’t know either.
However, the treasures that appear in the white paper should be very good, and it will definitely be worth it to take them.
Yu Ying was attracted unconsciously and came to the side of the pool, staring at it with fixed eyes.
Xu Jinxiao frowned, grabbed the back of his collar and pulled him back.
Yu Ying then realized that he was only one step away from falling into the pool, and he broke out in a cold sweat in an instant.
Looking at the pool of water below them, it seemed as if there were a pair of eyes staring at them from beneath the dark abyss of water, making their hair stand on end and shudder.
Yu Ying was frightened, perhaps because of the kick Xu Jinxiao had given him earlier. He immediately jumped behind Xu Jinxiao as a conditioned reflex and grabbed hold of his sleeve tightly.
"Big Brother, this, this, this is too terrifying! Also, I vaguely sensed a very powerful and terrifying aura."
Seeing Yu Ying so frightened, Xu Jinxiao smiled and patted his arm soothingly, "Don't be afraid, Junior Brother. Senior Brother will protect you."
"Big Brother, you are so kind."
Yu Ying was deeply moved and could not hide his sincere eyes.
Xu Jinxiao took out five blue stone beads, placed four around the pool of water, and held the last one in his hand. Suddenly, blue spiritual power surged out of his palm, and several stone beads dissipated in an instant.
Xu Jinxiao took a look and confirmed that there was no problem. Then he drew the magic sword from his waist, and the sword energy swept out, releasing the murderous intent as if no one was around.
The thing under the water was suddenly enraged, and its huge body quietly surged.
Just as Xu Jinxiao was about to chop the rhizome under the lotus with a sword, a brown, sticky shadow suddenly shot out from the water surface. It was so fast that its shape could not be seen clearly, and it attacked directly towards Xu Jinxiao's heart.
Xu Jinxiao was not panicked at all. Instead, he curled the corners of his mouth and said, "Here it comes."
The blade turned and slashed towards the tentacle, and a pair of blue fox eyes on the blue hilt lit up blue light.
A dull sound was heard in this area, and Xu Jinxiao could see clearly that the black shadow was actually a pair of thick brown tentacles covered with transparent mucus and strange black lines on them. The suction cups underneath were bright red like blood and were slowly wriggling.
The silver sword in Xu Jinxiao's hand pressed against the tentacle, pressing the tentacle down slightly.
Xu Jinxiao calmly sent out a stream of spiritual power with his palm, hitting the suction cup of the tentacle. The tentacle immediately contracted, and Xu Jinxiao took the opportunity to retreat.
The tentacles retracted into the water, ripples spread out layer by layer, and soon silence returned.
Yu Ying stood at the back with a familiar look of shock on his face, acting as a member of Xu Jinxiao's atmosphere group.
"Big Brother, it looked like a tentacle just now."
"Um."
Xu Jinxiao nodded, "It is the guardian monster of this lotus, and its strength is comparable to that of a late Jindan."
"Big Brother, what should we do?"
Yu Ying couldn't help but frown, his eyes falling on the lotus, "Let's think of a way. We can't just leave such a good spiritual plant unused, right?"
Xu Jinxiao glanced at him, and the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up evilly, "I have a way."
Yu Ying's heart skipped a beat as he looked at his smile. Sure enough, the next moment he heard Xu Jinxiao say:
"I just want to ask you, Junior Brother, to seduce me first."
Yu Ying's eyes rolled around cautiously. He had just entered the Golden Elixir stage and died accidentally. He hoped that his senior brother would be more accurate.
"How?"
"It's simple. You just need to lead it out of the water."
Xu Jinxiao patted his shoulder to show encouragement.
Yu Ying hesitated for a moment, but still took a step forward, "Okay! I'm going there, Senior Brother, you have to keep an eye on me."
"Um."
Xu Jinxiao responded lazily, holding a blue talisman in his hand behind his back.
Yu Ying came to the edge of the pond and didn't want to attack Lianhua. After all, the monster would attack quickly once attacked, and it was just a tentacle monster. If the senior brother didn't keep an eye on it, he would probably be stabbed into a sieve on the spot.
He couldn't help but shudder. This high-level secret realm was extraordinary and full of dangers.
If he drew out the magic sword, controlled it to thrust into the water, and attacked the monster in the water, it probably wouldn't come out.
After thinking about it, he decided to pretend that he was attracted at first, and stood by the pool, motionless.
He is such a big human cultivator, I don’t believe the monsters won’t be tempted. After all, devouring a cultivator increases strength much more than devouring an ordinary person.
The underwater monster did become restless soon after, as it had not eaten a monk for a long time.
Its brown eyes were filled with greed and hunger as it quietly extended a tentacle and approached the young man on the shore.
When it reaches the surface of the water, it lunges upwards, ready to catch its prey off guard and drag it into the water.
The sudden change almost frightened Yu Ying to death on the spot, and he could only pick up the magic sword and endure it.
Xu Jinxiao flashed to his side and pushed him away, then quickly stuck the blue talisman in his hand onto the tentacle.
A large amount of blue spiritual power quickly burst out of the talisman, carrying an icy air. Its tentacles instantly climbed up the ice crystals, and were then covered with a thick layer of ice. It was frozen in place and unable to move at all.
