Chapter fifty-six sudden changes(1/2)
a moment ago.
Yinhui Forest, Deep Pool.
Lu Lingqiu looked at the calm pool in front of him expressionlessly and couldn't help but frown.
Originally, the place where the blue mist demon could condense must be a scene of steaming water mist. But now, the water in the pool is extremely clear, and you can see the bottom at a glance. It doesn't look like there is a blue mist demon swallowing clouds here at all.
The appearance of fog.
Also, the mission location recorded on the jade tablet is "the cave near the deep pool"...
Lu Lingqiu looked at the obvious dark hole not far away, and swept into it with one billionth of his spiritual consciousness.
Well, there is no Blue Mist Demon.
Instead, there was a sleeping mantid inside.
"interesting."
He shook his head and stepped in.
The environment inside the cave is narrow and pitch-black. The earth-rock path extends diagonally downward, and the bottom cannot be seen. It is not difficult to see that this cave has only one entrance, and of course, it is also the exit.
This is the first time Lu Lingqiu has faced an "enemy" since joining Lingyue.
Although to him, this is not an "enemy" in the true sense. But in order to successfully establish his identity and seek clues, he does not find it troublesome at all even if it is such a small "task". It is not a big deal.
Just think of it as going out to play.
So, when he was less than twenty steps away from the bottom of the cave, he released the spiritual pressure that perfectly matched his "Qi Refining Period Great Perfection" cultivation level.
Just hearing a rustling sound coming from inside, the mantid lying on the ground seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly spread its thin wings and stood upright!
The temperature inside the cave suddenly rose rapidly.
After three breaths, Lu Lingqiu walked to the bottom of the cave and looked at the sixth-level monster in front of him with a calm expression - the golden phantom mantis.
This demon is about half a man tall, with arms like knives, one gold and one red. It obviously has the dual attributes of gold and fire in the five elements spiritual root.
And looking at the spiritual pressure it emits, it is not difficult to sense that its spiritual power value far exceeds that of human monks in the final stage of foundation building.
In other words, if any of the disciples who came for this trial were to challenge him in a one-on-one fight, they would definitely be dead.
Lu Lingqiu took out the jade token again and quickly glanced at the content on it.
"Deep Pond Cave...Level 4 Monster...Blue Mist Monster."
The jade sign clearly says it. Yes, it should be the Blue Mist Demon, not the Golden Fantasy Mantis.
He looked up again.
"Squeak——!!!" Before I could think about it, I heard a sharp neigh, and the mantid suddenly disappeared on the spot!
The next second, two sharp blades mixed with blazing fire spiritual power and sharp golden spiritual power appeared from above his head without warning, and slashed downwards with a crossing force!
It was too late, but it was too soon. When these two swords were struck, normal people had no room to react. No matter whether they tried to dodge backwards or to the left or right, they would definitely die.
And Lu Lingqiu——
He casually took a small step forward.
The double-edged sword slashed through his back and fell into the air neatly.
The fire spiritual power and the golden spiritual power fell heavily on the ground, burning the originally moist soil to a sizzling sound.
For a moment, the Golden Fantasy Mantid condensed, flapped its thin wings on its back, and turned around again to look at the prey in front of it in a very humane manner.
It is already a great demon in the spirit-condensing stage, and is about to transform into an elixir, so it certainly possesses quite a lot of intelligence.
Although it was captured by the people of the Demon Slayer Alliance when it was young and sold to the Xiao family at a high price to sign a "beast slave death contract", its cultivation over the years has not been delayed at all, and it has shown great confidence in its own talents.
, still have a certain degree of confidence.
But what was that just now...?
The "sonic super kill" that he was most proud of was actually discovered?
It took another look at the enemy and decided to try again.
"Stab-"
Another golden-red brilliance flashed, and it slashed its double blades towards the enemy's throat!
However, Lu Lingqiu leaned back slightly.
The sharp aura brought by the arc blade passed by his neck, and the mantid's second blow,
Still missed.
Lu Lingqiu walked to the other side of the cave like a stroll, turned around and faced the direction of the cave entrance, seeming to be looking at it.
The Golden Fantasy Mantis was silent for a moment, its two compound eyes narrowed slightly, and each of its compound eyes had thousands of small eyes. At this time, thousands of gazes completely locked onto the male human opposite, and it was about to get serious.
He was silent for just a few breaths.
Suddenly, it raised the sword on its left arm, and thousands of spiritual powers were lost rapidly!
The red fire enveloped the entire bottom of the cave, and the originally sub-zero temperature in the cave instantly climbed to more than 40 degrees.
Immediately afterwards, it raised its right arm again, and the golden spiritual power between the rocks gathered together!
Its thin wings turned from transparent to golden.
Lu Lingqiu could feel that the demon in front of him was gambling.
It regards Lu Lingqiu as a powerful enemy and is using its own dignity——
Bet it all.
"squeak--!!"
This time, it barked lowly in advance, signaling Lu Lingqiu that it was about to start attacking.
Lu Lingqiu nodded.
The next moment, the golden phantom mantis suddenly turned into a golden thread, carrying a thick arc of red fire. With the power of splitting mountains and rocks, it flashed directly above Lu Lingqiu and chopped off the arm knife on his head!
At the same time, Lu Lingqiu moved.
He lightly stretched out his right hand, aimed at the waist of the Golden Fantasy Mantis, whose figure could not be seen clearly, and slapped it.
Time seemed to have stopped for a moment.
Mantid's "Gouyan Golden Wings Slash" did not fail.
It definitely hit Lu Lingqiu's right shoulder.
But this knife seemed to have struck the diamond, and a sharp pain came from it. It saw that its left arm was completely broken.
Not only that, the inside of its body also made a "click" sound as if something was broken.
When the severe pain came, the golden mantis did not scream and tremble. On the contrary, it fell into endless confusion.
Why?
Why are all my abilities like child's play in front of this human being?
But listen,
The enemy whispers in my ears:
"I never hate monsters who respect their enemies.
When you and I met, it was more or less fate.
Cutting off one of your arms today and granting you freedom can be regarded as good cause and effect."
"I have erased the 'Beast Slave Death Contract'. Remember not to kill easily in the future. Leave quickly."
After Lu Lingqiu finished speaking, he walked towards the cave exit without looking back, leaving the mantid standing still in place, as if struck by lightning.
…
By the deep pool, Xiao He stood in front of the cave, staring at the exit without blinking, waiting for Lu Lingqiu to appear.
His spiritual consciousness had long detected that the Golden Fantasy Mantis had failed.
Although the reason for the failure is not clear, it is not difficult to know that Lu Lingqiu's true strength is definitely more than just Qi refining. It may even exceed Foundation building.
Xiao Bai's little bastard is indeed very evil. It seems that he has to take action personally this time.
he thought to himself.
Soon, Lu Lingqiu's figure appeared in front of the cave.
Seeing Xiao He personally waiting at the entrance of the cave, Lu Lingqiu sneered in his heart.
First, the monsters and the blue mist monsters who recognized their masters were exchanged, and then the Yuanying old monster personally waited and waited.
Such an obvious intention can be seen even by a fool.
"That's right, Lu Lingqiu, even the Golden Fantasy Mantis can't do anything to you. I thought I was wrong before." The old man in black robes praised him in a strange way, his eyes seemed to be looking at a dead man.
"Elder Xiao He, I have no enmity or enmity with you. What do you mean?"
To be continued...
