Chapter 22: The Black Robe Man Appears
The few people did not separate after that. After resting for a while, they set off again.
There are many stone monsters in the gold area, which makes Zhong Ling'er feel very strange. Bai Luochen explains to them that there are many kinds of creatures in the world. In addition to humans, they can be divided into four categories: demons, ghosts and monsters.
Animals and plants that absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth and awaken their spiritual intelligence can transform into human form through cultivation. These are collectively called demons. Of course, demons are divided into innate demons and acquired demons, but innate demons were born in ancient times and are rare nowadays.
There is no need to talk about demons. They were born from evil energy and are inherently extremely evil. In ancient times, there was a war between immortals and demons. Thousands of years ago, there was a dispute between humans and demons. Later, a powerful person separated humans and demons. Now all demons are sealed in the Demon Abyss. There are a few who survive in the world of immortal cultivation, but they are either hiding and dare not come out, or they are suppressed.
Ghosts are the souls of humans and demons after death, and most of them exist in the underworld, where ghosts can also practice cultivation. There are also people in the human world who use their souls to practice cultivation, and those are called evil practitioners.
Monsters are like these stones. They have absorbed the essence of heaven and earth and have certain magical powers and abilities to move. However, their magical powers are low and their intelligence is not yet developed. They only act on instinct.
Zhong Ling'er was curious, "What are the spirit beasts on the Beast God Peak? Are they domesticated monsters?"
Bai Luochen laughed, "It's very difficult to tame monsters. I've never heard of it. Spirit beasts are born from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. They are close to humans by nature, which is different from monsters."
Ye Qinglan approached Zhong Ling'er and lowered her voice, saying, "In fact, in addition to demon beasts and spiritual beasts, there are also auspicious beasts. They can also combine with humans to give their offspring magical bloodlines!"
After saying that, she winked at Zhong Ling'er. Zhong Ling'er was puzzled. Ye Qinglan laughed and said, "You will know later."
Ouyang Ruochen's cold voice came, "Enough of talking, let's do it, clear these monsters before dark, we will rest here tonight."
Zhong Ling'er touched her stomach and found that the pain was no longer there, so she rushed out with her sword in hand. The fight just now had stimulated her. She wanted to become stronger, to crush everything, and never suffer from her stomach again.
The stone monster was not difficult to kill. After killing the monster, Zhong Ling'er tried to move the stone monster's body into the round bead. Seeing the stone decomposed into ash, Zhong Ling'er was happy. This was a golden area. The stone should contain gold elements, which were rarely seen in common objects. She had not collected many of them. Since there were some here, she must take them all away, take them away!
Seeing that his junior sister was collecting stones while fighting, Bai Luochen sighed, resigned himself to his fate and took out a larger storage ring, putting all the stones and the stone monster corpses on the ground into it.
My earlier actions may have hurt little junior sister's feelings, so I need to comfort her.
Ouyang Ruochen looked around. There were some ores nearby that were good materials for refining weapons. The sect was in urgent need of them recently, so he had to bring some back.
It was already late at night when they finished clearing out the monsters. After a tiring day and receiving an apology gift from her second senior brother, Zhong Ling'er fell asleep peacefully.
The caring second brother is back, and with the eldest brother around, I feel full of security!
As she slept, spiritual energy surged around Zhong Ling'er, and it seemed as if a whirlwind of spiritual energy was blowing around her. Ouyang Ruochen and Bai Luochen watched as their junior sister smacked her lips twice in her sleep, and then she advanced to the second level of foundation building.
"Junior sister's painting style is indeed unique."
Bai Luochen remembered what Gu Yanze said.
Ouyang Ruochen nodded, his understanding once again refreshed by his junior sister.
When the sun rose, they only had one earth-attribute area left to explore, so they headed there again.
They met quite a few people on the way, but most of them avoided them after seeing Ouyang Ruochen, and no one dared to snatch things from them, so the process went quite smoothly.
However, as the number of people decreased, Zhong Ling'er began to feel vaguely uneasy.
This is an area with earth attributes. A faint earthy smell keeps coming into your nose. There are no trees or other obstructions except for some low grass around. You can see the end at a glance. Even monsters can hardly be seen. What danger could there be?
Zhong Ling'er approached Bai Luochen and reached out to grab his sleeve.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Bai Luochen asked gently, and when he saw his junior sister shaking her head, he gave Ouyang Ruochen a look.
Ouyang Ruochen walked forward, stood between heaven and earth, and sent out his spiritual sense to sense carefully. Suddenly, five beams of light rose from the ground, and a powerful impact spread in all directions.
The beam of light just trapped Ouyang Ruochen in the center, like a prison cell trapping him inside.
No, that was not a cell, but a big hand. Five beams of light were rotating, rising upwards and then shrinking. The shape of the palm was clearly visible, and a vortex appeared in the middle of the palm, swallowing up the surrounding spiritual energy and rolling Ouyang Ruochen closer to the center of the vortex.
Ouyang Ruochen slashed out several sword energies, but he couldn't cut off the five fingers. He kept resisting to stay away from the vortex, but his palm became smaller and smaller, and he had nowhere to escape.
This hand made Zhong Ling'er feel familiar. Didn't the fifth elder of the Lingjian Sect have a magical weapon called the Qiankun Five Prison Hands? It was said that it could use the power of heaven and earth to trap a person in one of the hours, and no matter how high the person was, he could not escape.
And since it is a magical instrument, there must be someone operating it. Where would that person be?
Bai Luochen did not rush forward to rescue people, but instead put up a protective shield to protect the four young disciples. He then sent out his spiritual sense to search for the enemy's location.
A ray of light shot out, and almost at the same time, Bai Luochen flew over and blocked the sword of a black-robed and masked man, knocking him back five or six steps. He then swung out a palm to block the hand that was about to break the protective shield, and the spiritual energy collided, knocking the other black-robed and masked man away.
Zhong Ling'er took the opportunity to rush out of the protective shield, ran to the bottom of the palm, and stabbed the sword into the ground. As the sword fell, another masked man in a black robe flew out from the ground and raised his palm to hit Zhong Ling'er.
Zhong Ling'er threw out more than a dozen talismans in succession. A second-grade talisman gathered together and exploded with power comparable to a third-grade talisman, creating a ten-meter-deep pit on the ground.
The masked man in black robe was in a trance for a moment, and the light of his palm in the sky dimmed a little. Zhong Ling'er saw that it was useful, so she threw out another talisman and immediately disappeared on the spot.
A row of earth spikes appeared where Zhong Ling'er had just stood. Seeing that Zhong Ling'er had avoided them, the man drew out his sword and began to perform mysterious sword techniques.
As the sword spun, whirlpools appeared in the air one after another, carrying a chilling murderous intent, trapping Zhong Ling'er inside.
Zhong Ling'er sensed carefully. These whirlpools seemed to be irregular, but were actually positioned very cleverly, blocking the space around her and making it impossible for her to move forward or backward.
And this vortex was like a rotating gear, carrying endless murderous intent, and it would strangle her and cut her into pieces as soon as it got close.
This is the sword technique of the Lingjian Sect, but why would the people of the Lingjian Sect attack the eldest and second senior brothers?
