Chapter 1937: What I Saw in the Cave
There was a series of "puff" sounds, and hundreds of white, multi-legged insects emerged from the bottom of the pond.
After flying into the air, these insects immediately curled up into balls the size of watermelons and smashed towards Luo Hong.
Before he got close, the magic patterns on his body surface began to flash at high speed, and his aura quickly became violent.
But at this moment, the purple light flying out from Luo Hong's sleeves turned into a giant two-tailed scorpion.
"Roar!"
It didn't seem to use any magical power, but just let out a roar, and the magic power in the bodies of those insects that were on the verge of self-explosion all stagnated.
Then, the giant double-tailed scorpion opened its mouth and sucked all the insects in the air into its mouth.
However, when it was only halfway through sucking, the two-tailed giant scorpion's eyes suddenly lit up, as if with a look of surprise.
The next moment, she changed from inhaling to exhaling, spraying out a large amount of purple mist that enveloped all the insects.
Then, the purple mist rolled, and half of the remaining insects in the air were sealed up, turning into purple balls the size of broad beans.
At this moment, a flash of light appeared on the body of the two-tailed giant scorpion, and it transformed into a little girl with two long purple braids, who was Ah Zi.
"I didn't expect you guys to be quite delicious. You can't eat them all at once."
As she spoke, Ah Zi shook her long braid, and a storage ring with the end of the braid wrapped around it immediately rolled out a ray of light, collecting all the purple balls in the air.
"This kind of poisonous insect is also useful for your cultivation?"
Seeing that A Zi attached so much importance to these poisonous insects, Luo Hong couldn't help but ask.
"Master, eating this kind of insect doesn't make you feel comfortable. It just tastes good. It bursts with juice in one bite and has an excellent taste!"
Ah Zi did not hide her greed at all. She took out a small purple ball, put it into her mouth and started eating it happily.
Luo Hong nodded when he heard this, and no longer paid attention to her. Instead, he moved his gaze to the four walls of the cave.
Apart from the bones embedded in the stone wall, the only thing worth noting on the stone wall is the pieces of flesh membrane of different colors.
These flesh membranes vary in size, some are less than ten feet square, while others cover a hundred feet.
Luo Hong's eyes flashed with inspiration, and he saw that behind these flesh membranes were winding passages filled with poisonous gas, which obviously led to another cave.
"Once the divine consciousness leaves the current cave, it will be greatly suppressed. Even I can only detect the situation of the two nearest caves. It's really amazing!"
After sighing, Luo Hong couldn't help but feel fortunate for his foresight.
In a place like this, if he only relied on Purple Eyes to lead the way, it would be extremely difficult to find an ancient inheritance, let alone explore the plans of Master Zhaogu and others.
"Azi, protect me."
After instructing A Zi, Luo Hong immediately sat down cross-legged in the air, placed his hands on his dantian, and with a thought, the small black ball flew out of his body and landed on his palms.
Although his spiritual consciousness was blocked, with the help of the small black ball, Luo Hong could also sense the direction of the power of the primordial law.
I saw circles of black halos emanating from the surface of the small black ball, which flew out for only a few feet before disappearing into the void.
After just a few breaths, Luo Hong, who was sitting cross-legged in the air, slowly turned his body, and soon stopped facing one direction.
“The perception is so vague. The restrictions of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave should not be able to stop the Primordial Law. It is probably because of the distance.
However, since it can be sensed, it is obvious that the power of the law has also arrived at the Cave of Ten Thousand Poisons.
It's really strange, why did the ancient poison master gather the poison aura of so many people? "
The Cave of Ten Thousand Poisons has existed for who knows how many years. Even now, every time it is opened, no less than tens of thousands of poison cultivators enter. It was even more exaggerated in the past.
When this amount accumulates, it can only be described as an "astronomical figure"!
But Luo Hong really couldn't guess the senior's purpose.
"There are too few clues at the moment. Let's go meet up with the Five Immortal Ancestors and investigate slowly."
With a flash of thought in his mind, Luo Hong put away the little black ball and let A Zi crawl into his sleeve again.
Then, he flipped his hand and took out the purple stone tablet that the Five Immortal Ancestor had given them earlier.
According to him, this card was the product of his personal efforts to control the purple stone bead, and the restrictions in the Ten Thousand Poison Cave could not sever the connection between the two.
When it was activated, a purple smoke suddenly emerged from the stone tablet, circled around twice, and then went straight towards a yellow flesh membrane.
Seeing this, Luo Hong retracted the stone tablet, turned into a beam of light and passed through the yellow flesh membrane.
Behind the flesh membrane was a winding passage filled with yellow poisonous gas. A Zi immediately used purple mist to protect Luo Hong.
It was only a Golden Immortal-level poison, so it was easy for Ah Zi to deal with it.
After all, by refining those three pots of Five Immortals Wine, Ah Zi had already reached the middle stage of Taiyi cultivation.
The poison it possesses is extremely toxic and poses a certain threat even to great monks!
Soon, Luo Hong arrived at the end of the passage.
It was also a yellow membrane, behind which was an unrecorded cave.
According to the results of the divine sense investigation, its area is half the size of the previous Thousand Red Pond, but it has the aura of many Golden Immortal cultivators.
Without concealing his figure, Luo Hong directly passed through the yellow flesh membrane. Then he pushed out with one palm, blasting out a huge black thunder, which shattered a spider web blocking the flesh membrane.
This movement immediately caused a cry of surprise. Luo Hong looked and saw five demon women soaking in a pale yellow hot spring.
Judging from their appearance, they seemed to be practicing before.
Although these five demon women were all extremely charming, Luo Hong only glanced at them. After confirming that they posed no threat, he activated the purple stone tablet again.
Soon, the purple smoke floated towards a piece of flesh membrane on top of Luo Hong's head.
Without hesitation, Luo Hong blasted out another thunder, cleared a path, and then flashed into it.
"Damn it, another hard-hearted guy. I didn't even trick him."
"Oh, what bad luck! We finally found this bone-dissolving pond, but more than a year has passed and only one person has taken the bait!"
"Don't lose heart, Fifth Sister, go and mend the spider web. There's still plenty of time."
As soon as Luo Hong left, the five demon women in the hot spring immediately lost their previous panic expressions, and instead showed disappointed expressions.
It turned out that the poison skills they practiced were quite compatible with this bone-dissolving pool, and they could gain a great advantage in fighting near the pool.
So, they wanted to use this to kill people and steal treasures, but so far, they have gained very little.
The fifth sister pursed her lips when she heard this, and wondered why it was me again. However, she did not dare to disobey openly, and immediately flew out of the Bone Dissolving Pool naked.
But at this moment, the flesh membrane above the five women flashed with light, and Luo Hong, who had left earlier, actually came back!
"Tsk, I thought you were some kind of gentleman!"
The fifth sister was stunned when she saw this, but quickly covered her vital parts with her hands and acted shyly.
"Ah! How can you be so rude, fellow Taoist!"
"Noisy!"
Luo Hong had already noticed the tricks of these five women. After all, they were just practicing, why were they taking off their clothes? It was obvious that their motives were not pure.
But since he was not provoked, he was too lazy to pay attention.
The reason why Luo Hong came back was not because of them.
After scolding, Luo Hong immediately cast a spell to hide his figure.
Just as the five women were puzzled, another beam of light flew out from the flesh membrane above their heads.
Although it was a man, he was dressed very femininely, and it was the flower snake with a changed appearance!
"Oh, that's good. There are five prey here. It saves me a lot of trouble."
Looking at the five witches in the bone-dissolving pool, Huashe's eyes suddenly lit up, but there was no lust in his eyes, only the joy of harvest.
"who are you?!"
The eldest of the five girls immediately realized that something was wrong, and quickly took out her magic treasure and asked in a stern voice.
"Hand over your Nascent Soul obediently, and you will suffer less physical pain."
With a sinister smile, the flower snake had already made its move, and a thousand-foot-tall phantom of a strange beast appeared behind it.
This strange beast has nine heads, all of which look like giant snakes. The color of the scales on each head is different, but they all exude a very strong aura.
"Master Taiyi, run!"
Sensing the breath leaked by the flower snake, the eldest sister's expression immediately became extremely terrified.
The five sisters were just ordinary Golden Immortal cultivators. How could they be a match for a Taiyi cultivator? They could only flee separately!
Looking at the five figures fleeing one after another, the flower snake curled the corner of its mouth, changed the magic gesture in its hand, and five of the heads of the nine-headed beast moved at the same time.
The blue-scaled snake head opened its mouth and spit out a blue lightning, which directly struck the fifth sister, causing her to explode in mid-air and her body turned into ashes.
The red-scaled snake head moved its breath, and a giant lava hand appeared near the eldest sister, grabbing her and not letting go no matter how she screamed.
A gleam of light flashed in the eyes of the yellow-scaled snake head, and the second sister was petrified in the air, and shattered into pieces after falling to the ground.
The green-scaled snake head immediately opened its mouth and spit out a green mist, which wrapped the third sister and made her disappear in it.
The last golden-scaled snake head roared, and its invisible sharp blade swept across the fourth sister, turning her into a bloody mist on the spot.
After easily killing the five women's physical bodies, the five snake heads opened their mouths and sucked at the same time. Suddenly, five Nascent Souls of different colors were shot back and were collected by the flower snake in a gray bone gourd.
Weighing the gourd with satisfaction, the flower snake casually swept through the cave, and seeing nothing unusual, it flew into another piece of flesh membrane.
After a full thirty breaths, Luo Hong finally revealed his figure from his hiding place, which was ten feet behind the flower snake.
"The power of the law of the magical power this person used just now has reached the Taiyi level. What kind of magical power is this? Why does it make me feel familiar?"
It is absolutely impossible for a cultivator in the late Taiyi stage to cultivate five different laws of heaven and earth to the Taiyi realm at the same time, not to mention that the other four snake heads are probably also mastering a law each.
There is no doubt that this was done in some tricky way.
But it is also undeniable that this person's strength is definitely in the top tier among the cultivators of the same level.
After Luo Hong frowned and thought for a moment, the four big words "Nine Tribulations to Destroy the Soul" suddenly appeared in his soul.
"It better not be what I guessed, otherwise this person might have the ability to assassinate a Daluo monk!"
The reason why Luo Hong paid so much attention to the flower snake at this moment was not only because it had revealed a glimpse of its terrifying strength, but also because the other party was one of the three demons around Master Zhaogu.
“Looking at his appearance, he is obviously intending to collect the Nascent Souls of poison cultivators.
This matter must be made known to the Five Immortals Patriarch as soon as possible. He knows the Ten Thousand Poison Cave very well and will surely be able to deduce something from it!"
The reason why Luo Hong returned just now was because when he was about to enter the next cave, his spiritual sense detected that the flower snake was killing people and stealing babies.
Because he was a subordinate of Master Zhaogu, Luo Hong hesitated for a moment and did not choose to confront him head-on, which led to the previous incident.
Afterwards, Luo Hong followed the guidance of the purple stone tablet and passed through eight caves in succession without encountering any major accidents.
Finally, when he arrived at the tenth cave, Luo Hong felt suddenly enlightened by the huge area of the cave. At the same time, he saw the Five Immortals and others who had gathered together.
This grotto exists in records and is a famous large grotto - Red Umbrella Forest.
Although it is called a forest, the cave is actually filled with various huge colorful mushrooms.
Many of them were spewing spores, causing many locations close to the ground to be covered with poisonous barriers.
At this time, the Five Immortals and others were sitting cross-legged on a patch of needle mushrooms that were over a hundred feet high. Luo Hong glanced around and found that he was the last one to arrive.
"Why are you so slow, little friend?"
The Five Immortals Patriarch was not angry, he just asked a routine question.
"Forgive me, ancestor. I met a Taiyi cultivator under the command of Master Zhaogu on the road. I hid for a while and missed the time."
Luo Hong bowed and reported.
"Oh? Did the other party do anything suspicious?"
Originally, the Five Immortals wanted everyone to look for the whereabouts of Master Zhaogu and his entourage after the reunion.
After all, he could rely on his control over some of the restrictions in the Ten Thousand Poison Cave to lock down the approximate areas of the two Daluo masters, Zhaogu Zhenren and Sima Lei.
But he didn't expect that his men had already reaped the rewards before he even started to act.
"Could it be that this boy is my lucky general?"
The Five Immortals Patriarch couldn't help but complain in his heart.
“Report to the ancestor, that person seems to be deliberately hunting down poison cultivators like us and collecting their Nascent Souls.
Just from what I have seen, six of my fellow Taoists have fallen at his hands."
Luo Hong said truthfully.
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the cultivators present changed, because they were all poison cultivators.
"Humph! So they wanted to get in there. No wonder they resorted to trickery to stop the three of us old guys from coming!"
Just as Luo Hong expected, as soon as the Five Immortals learned about the situation, they understood what Master Zhaogu and the others were planning to do.
"Master, what exactly is that place you are talking about?"
Qianye asked curiously.
"In the Ten Thousand Poison Caves, there is a large cave called 'Cliff of Absolute Love', which can melt the Nascent Soul of poison cultivators like us and form an evil object that is not among the five elements.
This evil creature is extremely bloodthirsty. It can combine with all poisonous substances and transform into a poisonous spirit, greatly increasing our strength!
Even though there are many benefits, we poison cultivators are no longer as powerful as we were in ancient times. We certainly cannot leave this place of internal friction unattended any longer.
Therefore, I and the other two old fellows cast a spell to seal the Cliff of Jueqing a long time ago, and erased all related records.
It's really hard for them to set their sights on the Cliff of Unfeeling!"
The Five Immortals Patriarch's face was as cold as ice, with murderous intent in his eyes.
