Chapter 272 Opportunities and Dangers

In the dark underground palace.

There was a red-gold fluorescent light flickering beneath the black stone, and the fluorescent light was as crystal clear as flowing liquid.

Shen Ping's heart was in turmoil.

He never imagined that the stone contained liquid power of a strange beast!

It's incredible.

After all, the power of strange beasts is the energy that seizes the fortune of heaven and earth, and it has all kinds of magical powers. It can not only enhance the power of magic, but also quickly refine ancient spiritual treasures that are beyond one's own ability.

However, it is extremely difficult to obtain this kind of power. Apart from a strand that can be obtained when condensing the beast-patterned golden elixir, no matter how much essence of the beast's blood is absorbed, not even a strand can be condensed.

Originally, Shen Ping had been worried about how to obtain the power of the strange beast after it was exhausted. But now, he had effortlessly obtained the crystal condensed by the power of the strange beast in the strange beast gate! Phew.

suck.

I took a dozen deep breaths in succession.

He returned to the narrow cave where he had been before, and then calmly placed his palms on the crystal surface under the stone. As he practiced his skills and activated the power of the strange beast in his dantian, strands of the strange beast power in the stone immediately flowed along the meridians into his dantian.

Sensing the powerful red-gold light.

Shen Ping showed excitement.

If all the ordinary golden elixir mana in the dantian is transformed into the power of the strange beast, then his strength will skyrocket. At that time, even if he does not rely on talismans, magic weapons, formations and other means, he may be able to kill the Yuanying strongman! But it only takes a few breaths.

The energy of the strange beast in the stone is exhausted.

In total, only ten strands were absorbed. Compared with the huge ordinary golden elixir magic power, these ten strands of the power of the strange beast were insignificant, but their power was far beyond the ordinary golden elixir magic power. Therefore, the excitement on Shen Ping's face did not diminish at all, and his eyes revealed a dazzling brilliance.

“Since it is a stone containing the power of a strange beast, it is called a strange stone… It is worthy of being the Strange Beast Gate that holds the secret of immortality. It is indeed magical. If I can find a large number of strange stones, I may be able to use the magic power of strange beasts to condense an infant!”

Shen Ping couldn't help thinking in his heart.

Before.

It was difficult for him to condense the second strand of magic power from the strange beast, so he never thought of relying on the magic power from the strange beast to break through to the subsequent realms. He only used it as a special magic power as a trump card.

But now that he has discovered that the strange stone can increase the magic power of strange beasts, he naturally wants to transform all the magic power in his body. By then, he will most likely become the strongest golden elixir!

No matter whether it is a beast-patterned golden elixir or an ordinary golden elixir of one to nine patterns, magic power is the foundation that makes a cultivator powerful.

Shen Ping previously had only a wisp of magic power from a strange beast, so even though he had formed a beast-patterned golden elixir, it was only stronger than other golden elixirs. Facing a Nascent Soul cultivator, he could only rely on talismans, magic weapons, magical powers and other means. So in the final analysis, he was only second strongest among those of the same level, and that was still compared with other ordinary golden elixirs.

However, the appearance of the strange stone made it possible for him to make the leap to success.

"calm!"

"Don't be careless!"

Although he was excited, he had not lost his mind. Strange stones could be found at will in the Gate of Strange Beasts, which showed that there must be greater opportunities and treasures, and the dangers that came with it must be extremely terrifying.

Shen Ping has not forgotten the words that the great immortal reminded him when he bestowed upon him the method of "Beast Taming Scripture".

Think of this.

He stood up again carefully.

However, when he was about to go out to explore the environment and search for strange stones, the cave he was in collapsed with a loud bang, and then a burst of flames descended from above the cave.

Swish! Almost instantly.

The Six Jia Shield Talisman on his body was activated, but facing this flame, the Six Jia Shield Talisman, which was strong enough to withstand the Divine Transformation Monk, shattered directly at one stroke.

Shen Ping's pupils suddenly contracted.

Without even thinking, he urged the magical power of the strange beast to be poured into the shield given by his master, and at the same time rushed out of the cave at the fastest speed in his life.

Boom! The flames spread to the shield, and the surface of the shield, which was at the level of a spiritual ancient treasure, cracked at a speed visible to the naked eye. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and escaped from the cave. Otherwise, if he waited another breath or two, the shield would have shattered like the Liujia Shield Talisman.

Wow.

The moment you leave the cave.

The entire cave turned into molten lava under the cover of flames.

The magma spread in all directions, but the speed was not fast.

"Is this the danger inside the Strange Beast Gate..."

Shen Ping watched this scene.

His face was full of lingering fear.

If he had been a little slower just now, he would have been merged into the molten lava and died on the spot.

The most important thing.

The shield of the ancient spiritual treasure given by the master could only slightly resist this kind of danger. If it happened again, he didn't know whether the purple jade spiritual clothes on his body could block it! Thinking of this.

His face looked slightly gloomy.

The excitement in my heart about searching for strange stones was mostly dissipated as if a bucket of cold water was poured on me.

Originally, Shen Ping thought that he had a shield, purple jade spiritual clothes, a Liujia shield spiritual talisman, and a prepared fifth-level formation plate, which would be enough to save his life even if facing a powerful Jindan cultivator. However, when he entered the Gate of Strange Beasts, he found that these life-saving methods were too weak.

He is timid and cautious by nature.

Now that I don't have enough to protect my life, the desire to leave becomes stronger and stronger.

We only have one life.

He never takes risks.

"How do we get out of here?"

Shen Ping walked on the dark rocky ground, looking around vigilantly while thinking.

He didn't dare to stay in one place anymore.

Who knows if the flame will suddenly appear again.

About tea time later.

He suddenly felt a pain in his foot and looked down quickly. He saw another strange stone. He hurriedly mobilized the power of the strange beast to collect it, but he did not feel the excitement he had before.

Judging from these two situations.

Strange stones should be quite common here.

The more so.

The more it shows how precious the opportunities and treasures within the Gate of Strange Beasts are.

Just as terrible would be the danger.

Even the flame you just encountered was probably only a low risk.

Boom! Just as Shen Ping put away the strange stone, a strong wave of magic suddenly surged from three feet to his left. When he reacted, the Liujia Shield Talisman on his body was activated again.

Bang! The huge golden hammer smashed heavily on the Liujia Shield Talisman, stirring up its layers of halos, and waves of mana swept in all directions.

At the same time as the halo spread.

Shen Ping saw clearly a burly figure not far to the left.

"Liujia Shield Talisman... You are such a poor fellow. It seems you are from a weak tribe. If you are smart, hand over the strange stone on you!"

Listening to the common language of the demon race.

Shen Ping pretended not to understand and asked, "What strange stone?"

"snort."

The burly figure didn't say any more nonsense and just used his method again.

BANG!!

The golden hammer is dazzling.

It transformed into several hammer shadows that attacked Shen Ping from all directions in an instant, and there was even a faint shocking roar of beasts among them.

The Liujia Shield Talisman was about to break.

Shen Ping's expression changed slightly. He heard the familiar roar of the beast and realized something. So he no longer hesitated and directly took out the beast symbol in the spirit ring, and it was a complete beast-shaped symbol.

The sea of ​​talisman light!

Ten complete animal-shaped symbols are burning.

When the Liujia Shield Talisman shattered and the golden hammer phantom hit him, a terrifying beam of light suddenly burst out above his head.

The burly figure immediately sensed the palpitations and hurriedly took out his defensive magic weapon. Unfortunately, under the fusion and explosion of the terrifying power of the beast talisman, all resistance was in vain.

The beam of light shines.

Everything within a hundred-meter radius was annihilated.

Looking at the huge hole in front of me.

Shen Ping breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately the magical power of talismans did not disappoint him.

However, if the ten complete beast talisman diagrams were used in the Jiuzhou Tower in the Five Continents and Four Seas, the power would be enough to kill the strange eagle, but here it can only cause destruction within a hundred meters. It is obvious that the rock environment here is of extraordinary material.

But soon his eyes lit up slightly.

There were several treasures flashing where the puppet figure was.

He hurriedly activated the magical power of the strange beast to quickly collect it, and left the place without checking.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Being able to encounter cultivators from other races obviously means that there must be other creatures who have entered the Gate of Strange Beasts. Shen Ping does not think that he is the only special one who can produce beast-patterned golden elixirs. There are so many creatures in all races that even if beast-patterned golden elixirs are rare, many will be born.

And judging from the words of the master and that great immortal, the beast-patterned golden elixirs born in other races seem to be of higher quality than those of humans.

Therefore, it is necessary to be cautious in this unknown gate of strange beasts.

Despite his magical powers of talismans and puppets, he did not dare to be careless at all.

Half an hour later.

Shen Ping came to a pond, which was actually not far from the cave where he was. Mainly because it was dark, he didn't dare to move fast. If he encountered any formation or trap, it would be too late to regret.

The surface of the pool glowed with a faint dark purple fluorescence, and visibility was higher than other places. Although his spiritual sense was still greatly suppressed, he could see the scenery within a range of seven or eight meters with his eyesight, and this range was enough for him to have enough reaction time when facing an accident.

Throw out more than a dozen battle flags.

And covered the formation plate again.

After setting up a simple defensive formation.

He then sat cross-legged on a stone and checked the gains from killing the alien beast-patterned Jindan cultivator. There were three treasures in total, and the one that could remain intact under the explosive power of the fusion of ten complete beast-pattern images must be extraordinary.

As his spiritual consciousness penetrated the treasure, Shen Ping quickly erased the remaining traces of his spiritual consciousness on the treasure.

A few breaths passed.

He then knew the information about these three treasures.

They are beast spirit treasures, powerful magic weapons born in the Gate of Strange Beasts. Compared with ancient psychic treasures, better real psychic treasures, and imitation immortal artifacts, they are not very strong, but each one has special attribute effects.

In addition.

It also has an advantage, that is, as long as one possesses a beast-patterned golden elixir and breeds a creature that condenses the power of a strange beast, one can refine it and use it without any restrictions on cultivation.

The purple jade spiritual clothes that Shen Ping is wearing have various requirements. Even a Jindan like him can only barely activate the first level of spiritual clothes. Its defensive ability can at most resist Yuanying cultivators. This is because he has the power of strange beasts to refine.

If it were any other ordinary golden elixir, it would be difficult to even activate the first level.

After all, the more powerful the magic weapon, the higher the requirements for the cultivator's realm and strength.

But the beast spirit treasures are different.

Its only condition is the power of strange beasts.

The more magical beast power a living being possesses, the longer it will take to activate the beast spirit treasure.

Of course.

There are also different levels of beast spirit treasures.

The sky blue umbrella, light green whip, and golden hammer obtained by this burly creature are merely low-level beast spirit treasures.

But even so.

The special powers they possess are in some ways stronger than ancient spiritual treasures.

Shen Ping carefully explored the various uses of the three beast spirit treasures.

If the sky blue umbrella is activated, it can directly condense blue armor on the surface of the body. This armor not only has amazing defense, but also can greatly enhance the strength of the body in a short time. Simply put, with this small umbrella, ordinary human cultivators can burst out with the demon body of the same level of demon cultivators.

The light blue whip is mainly used to restrain the enemy. Once trapped by the whip, twelve chains will immediately form a space cage. At the same time, the chains have barbs that can pierce into the enemy's skin and flesh to absorb magic power and blood.

Finally, there is the golden hammer, which is used to attack the enemy. After being activated, it can be transformed into up to thirty hammer shadows. The more hammer shadows there are, the stronger the cumulative attack power will be. If it reaches thirty, the true power of the golden hammer can be condensed.

The three beast spirit treasures can easily kill cultivators in the late stage of Spirit Transformation at the very least. Even a powerful cultivator in the Void Refinement stage will be injured if he doesn't have a good magic weapon to resist.

However, any one of them requires sufficient power from strange beasts to support it.

The reason why the burly figure who attacked Shen Ping earlier did not destroy the Liujia Shield Talisman immediately was because the power of his strange beast was not enough to unleash the power of the golden hammer, so he only activated it a few times.

"The Gate of Strange Beasts is truly miraculous. It can actually give birth to such a powerful magic weapon, and it is only of a low level. If it were of a high level, or even a top level, how powerful would it be!"

Shen Ping couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, the magic weapons refined by cultivators also have special effects, but most of them are relatively ordinary. Although the ancient spiritual treasures are powerful, the requirements for cultivators are too high, and some even require the practice of specific exercises to activate them.

But the beast spirit treasure has only one request.

“If we were outside, relying on the beast spirit treasure, as long as the magic power of the strange beast was sufficient, I’m afraid we wouldn’t be afraid of the transformation into a spirit and practicing emptiness!”

His eyes sparkled with excitement.

After all, with his current level of cultivation, it is difficult for him to make full use of the ancient spiritual treasure. If he faces a deity in the Black Evil Valley, he can only use the Talisman Beast Diagram.

The more you consume the beast talisman, the less it will cost.

Now that he has the beast spirit treasure, his trump card skills have undoubtedly been greatly enhanced.

The only thing to consider is the power of the strange beast.

Therefore, the strange stone is the key.

“No wonder that alien creature asked me to hand over all the strange stones. It seems that it is not too easy to obtain strange stones in the Gate of Strange Beasts. In other words, no one can have too much!”

Shen Ping seemed to understand something.

To put it bluntly, strange stones are similar to spirit stones and are the hard currency of this strange beast gate.

Tsk tsk.

While deep in thought.

A whirlpool suddenly appeared on the surface of the pool.

Shen Ping, who was alert to his surroundings, noticed this and ran away madly without thinking.

whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

He just ran away.

A number of strange dark purple fish jumped out of the pond. These strange fish were as fast as lightning and rushed behind Shen Ping in an instant.

When his spiritual sense swept over the strange fish, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and felt a surge of palpitations.

"Oracle bone aura!"

As the mind moves.

Shen Ping's body was immediately filled with light patterns like those of oracle bones, and in the blink of an eye, these light patterns formed a spiritual light like that of a tortoise shell.

Bang, bang, bang! The strange fish instantly crashed into the surface of the spiritual light, splashing layers of ripples, and at the same time the spiritual light began to corrode.

This scene made him gasp.

The strange fish could actually corrode his magical powers.

It's so scary.

Thunder and Water Escape Technique! Not daring to delay any longer, he activated his magical power once again.

His figure suddenly flashed out as fast as lightning.

Even if he encountered a formation or other dangers, Shen Ping had to avoid the attacks of strange fish. He didn't know how long his oracle bone spiritual light could last.
