Chapter 292 A Slight Move Shocked Everyone
Chu Ning and the others naturally didn't know what was happening around the island.
Several people flew quickly towards the Zhonghai area.
Fortunately, although the island where the golden and silver birds practiced was in the outer sea, it was not very far from the Zhonghai area.
So it didn't take long for the five people to fly into the Zhonghai area.
This made everyone feel a little relieved.
Compared with the outer sea, although the spiritual energy here is mixed, there are many monsters.
However, monsters above level eight cannot enter for some reason, and even level seven monsters are almost non-existent.
Several people are in the middle stage of the golden elixir, and monsters of lower levels can bring them less threat. .
"How about we take a rest on the island where we gathered before?"
At this time, Chang Lingshan suggested.
Just now, they were accidentally injured by the thunder triggered by the formation, and they had no time to recuperate, so they continued to consume mana to rush on the road.
His usually smiling face was pale and ugly at this moment.
Most of the other people were the same, so they all agreed.
Although Chu Ning was not injured, there was no need to adjust his breath at this moment.
But he would not raise any objections at this time.
The four of them immediately flew to the island where they had met Kong Yipeng before.
When Kong Yipeng left before, he did not remove the array equipment, so the array was still there at this moment.
After flying into the island, Chang Lingshan led everyone to the place where Kong Yipeng had set up the array before.
Then he took out a jade tablet from the storage bag and said:
"Originally, Fellow Daoist Kong also thought that he might consume more mana after driving the array this time, so he intended to rest here when he returned to Bingdao Fairy City.
He also gave Chang a jade tablet for driving the array in advance. Fellow Daoists, how about we adjust our breath and heal our injuries in the array?"
The few people had no objection, and Chu Ning followed after hearing it.
To be honest, although the array they had just set up did not kill the golden and silver bird, it attracted the thunder tribulation of the golden and silver bird's transformation.
But Chu Ning still recognized its power.
There was still some curiosity about the formation set up by Kong Yipeng.
So, Chang Lingshan took the jade token to break the restriction, and everyone followed into the formation.
Perhaps because it was only used for temporary meditation and cultivation, the range covered by the formation was not too wide.
It was only about twenty feet away.
But it was quite messy inside, with various stones piled up.
And there were obvious traces of writing and painting on the ground and then being destroyed.
"Kong Yipeng seems to have deduced the formation here before."
Chu Ning muttered to himself. From these things, it can be seen that Kong Yipeng may have stayed here for some time before.
No wonder when the Ice Island Fairy City summoned the monks, Chang Lingshan was entrusted with the whole process.
After entering the formation, several people found a place to sit cross-legged.
And Chang Lingshan seemed to have a deep friendship with Kong Yipeng. Seeing these things, his expression was actually a little gloomy.
People also sighed and said:
"Friend Kong Dao is a genius. He has cultivated to the late Jindan stage by using formations. He has turned danger into safety along the way.
This time, he wants to kill the golden and silver bird, or he wants to try again to see if he can get a chance to break through to the Yuanying stage.
Who knows..."
Speaking of this, Chang Lingshan sighed lightly.
"The way is unpredictable. As cultivators, no one knows which will come first, the opportunity or the accident."
Hearing Chang Lingshan's words, everyone was silent.
Everyone present has cultivated to the middle stage of Jindan, and who has not experienced the brink of life and death.
Not to mention the distant past, just now, he almost lost his life.
Chang Lingshan sighed, but it was only for a short while, and then he returned to normal.
"Fellow Daoists, this time Chang invited you to take the risk on behalf of Brother Kong, although there were some unexpected events in the end.
But all of you have done your best, and the rewards promised to you before must not be reduced."
As he spoke, Chang Lingshan took out several things from his storage bag, which were the rewards that Kong Yipeng had shown to everyone before.
Chang Lingshan raised his hand, and several things flew into the hands of several people.
What Chu Ning was holding was the piece of golden marigold.
Seeing Chang Lingshan's actions, everyone's faces looked better.
Although there were twists and turns, the benefits were still obtained after all.
As for the high probability of Kong Yipeng's death, everyone just sighed and sighed.
Except for Chang Lingshan, everyone present did not have a deep friendship with the other party.
Immediately, everyone put away the benefits and began to swallow the pills to regulate their breathing.
Chu Ning put the golden marigold into the storage bag and smiled slightly.
Before, under the thunder tribulation, the tail feathers of the golden and silver bird fell off, and he collected them.
Now he got the golden marigold, and the purpose of this trip has been achieved.
In addition, on the island, he also collected a few spiritual plants with the energy of Gengjin, which was a big harvest.
Others need to adjust their breath and heal their injuries, but Chu Ning naturally doesn't need to. He just practiced the Five Elements Chaos Art for a while, and he has recovered all the magic power he had used to drive the formation and fly.
At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little confused in his heart.
"When I was practicing the Five Elements Chaos Art just now, I seemed to vaguely feel that there was a precipitation of energy in my body.
But this energy seems to have no effect on the practice of the Five Elements Chaos Art. Could it be..."
At this time, Chu Ning thought that after being struck by lightning before, he seemed to vaguely feel the feeling of tempering his body.
Chu Ning immediately practiced the Nine Evolutions Body Refining Art.
It would be best if the Nine-evolution Body Refining Art is practiced with movements.
But at this moment, in front of many people, he could only circulate his mana.
As the mana of the Nine-evolution Body Refining Art circulated, Chu Ning immediately felt that the energy deposited in various parts of his body began to be absorbed and refined.
Faintly, Chu Ning could also feel that this energy seemed similar to the power of thunder.
"This thunder power can actually temper the body? However, this energy is not much, and I don't know what effect it has."
Chu Ning couldn't help but feel surprised.
After practicing the Nine-evolution Body Refining Art with all his strength, it took some time for Chu Ning to finally refine all the thunder power deposited in his body.
So he checked his practice proficiency.
[Five Elements Chaos Art (Heavenly Grade, Middle Grade), Second Level (3328/100000)]
[Nine Evolutions Body Refining Art, Second Volume, Second Level (23797/90000)]
[Spirit Refining Art, Fourth Level (57225/64000)]
Just by taking a look, Chu Ning was immediately extremely surprised.
"Just that trace of thunder power just now, after refining it myself, the proficiency of the Nine Evolutions Body Refining Art has actually increased by 15 points!
Tsk tsk, if I come a few more times, with the help of this thunder power, the practice of the Nine Evolutions Body Refining Art may really improve rapidly."
Recently, Chu Ning's speed of practicing the Nine Evolutions Body Refining Art has begun to slow down to a certain extent.
The reason is that the spiritual fruits and spiritual medicines he brought from the Wuling Island have been used up after more than ten years, even if he used them sparingly.
The remaining 20%, Chu Ning is going to save for later use.
As for the mutated spiritual fruit purple source fruit planted in the spiritual medicine courtyard before, Chu Ning planted a lot of them with a try-and-see attitude.
However, even the first batch planted has not yet fully matured.
Moreover, Chu Ning is not sure whether those spiritual fruits have the effect of tempering the body like these spiritual fruits containing the power of the origin.
Tempering the body with the power of thunder has opened up a new world for Chu Ning.
"If possible, setting up a thunder attribute formation and tempering the body with the power of thunder seems to be a good choice."
Chu Ning thought thoughtfully.
Unfortunately, he does not have such a formation in his hand now.
Kong Yipeng seems to have it in his hand, but the other party has also fallen in the thunder tribulation.
Thinking of this, Chu Ning opened his eyes and looked.
He found that the other four were still practicing with their eyes closed, and he couldn't help but frowned slightly.
Although everyone has left the outer sea area and came to the middle sea.
And those big monsters in the outer sea are restricted and generally do not enter the middle sea area.
But after all, he and his companions had made some big noises in the outer sea, and they had stayed there for too long, so Chu Ning always felt uneasy.
If possible, it would be best to return to Iceland Fairy City and hide for this period of time.
Thinking of this, Chu Ning said:
"Fellow Daoists, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Why don't we return to Fairy City or the inner sea first?"
Hearing Chu Ning's words, the few people who were meditating and recuperating opened their eyes.
Several people looked at Chu Ning, and they were a little surprised that Chu Ning had finished healing so quickly.
After looking at each other, the only middle-aged female cultivator among the four, Wu Rongfeng, said:
"Fellow Daoist Chu's worries are not unreasonable. Our injuries cannot be fully recovered in one or two days.
It is better to return to Iceland Fairy City first and then slowly recuperate."
Although this woman is not outstanding in appearance and does not talk much, her voice is somewhat pleasant.
Hearing this, Chu Ning could not help but look at her more.
If the few people didn't leave, Chu Ning was even ready to leave alone.
Some people took the lead, and some people agreed.
The rest of the people didn't care.
Everyone stood up and prepared to leave.
At this moment, Chu Ning suddenly raised his head and looked outside the island, frowning slightly.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, what's wrong?"
Perhaps because of the conversation just now, Wu Rongfeng's attention was still on Chu Ning.
Seeing Chu Ning's behavior, he asked with some surprise.
Chu Ning had already used his spiritual sense to sense the range of nearly 30 miles at this moment, so he sighed and said:
"There are many monsters coming from all directions, I'm afraid it's not so easy for us to leave."
"Many monsters?"
Hearing Chu Ning's words, everyone's faces showed a hint of surprise.
Their spiritual senses were completely released at this moment, but they did not sense the existence of monsters.
Among the four people, Chang Lingshan had the highest cultivation level, and he had entered the middle stage of the golden elixir the longest.
At this moment, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he was about to ask Chu Ning if he was wrong.
The next moment, his face changed slightly.
Because at this moment, he had sensed a monster within his spiritual sense.
Then, from another direction, another monster entered his spiritual sense.
Those monsters were very fast, and Chang Lingshan had no time to speak after sensing it.
The others also sensed it one after another.
Even Wu Rongfeng, who had the weakest spiritual sense among the few people, quickly sensed the existence of the monster.
Immediately, there was a trace of shock in the eyes of several people.
They were shocked at why there were so many monsters suddenly, and they were also shocked that Chu Ning's spiritual sense was so powerful.
Chu Ning had obviously entered the middle stage of the golden elixir not long ago, but among the five of them, he was the first to discover the existence of the monster beast.
But everyone's thoughts were not on this at this moment, because they found that there were too many monsters coming at this time.
There are four fifth-level monsters and three sixth-level monsters that are sensed now.
"What's going on? Why do so many monsters suddenly appear?"
There was a hint of anxiety on Wu Rongfeng's face at this moment.
The faces of Chang Lingshan and others also didn't look good.
Several people were still injured at the moment, and suddenly faced so many monsters, their heads felt heavy just thinking about it.
Chang Lingshan immediately said in a deep voice:
"It's probably related to what we did in the outer sea. It seems that what we did before angered the big demon in the outer sea.
Although they could not directly enter the Zhonghai area, they used some secret method to drive these fifth- and sixth-order monsters to besiege them. "
Chang Lingshan's ideas coincided with Chu Ning's.
The other people also seemed to think that this matter was very possible. As for how those monsters found themselves and others, no one would ask.
Everyone knows that monsters that reach a certain level have some special magical powers.
Then Han Shihong immediately asked:
"Fellow Daoist Chang, does this formation have any attack effect? There are so many monsters. If we can use the formation to attack, we will have a certain ability to protect ourselves."
Chu Ning did not ask this question, but began to mobilize his magic power to prepare to kill the demon.
Based on his knowledge of the formation, he can naturally see that this formation does have certain concealment and defense effects.
But the power of counterattack is not enough.
If he had enough time, he could analyze the source of the formation and make some modifications, but now it was too late.
Sure enough, Chang Lingshan sighed and shook his head.
"Fellow Taoists, prepare to fight side by side and see if you can carve out a bloody path."
Feeling that the monster was less than 500 feet away from the island, everyone's faces suddenly became serious.
Chu Ning's eyes were clear at this moment, and she slowly said:
"Guys, I think we should go out to kill the monsters. If those monsters are troublesome, this formation can help us resist."
As soon as Chu Ning said this, everyone hesitated.
According to their thinking, they naturally hope to use the formation defense to consume the mana of the monsters before going out to kill the monsters.
Seeing this, Chu Ning sighed softly and said:
"If we don't go out to kill the demon quickly, we will only be more passive later.
I have already sensed that three more sixth-level monsters are coming.
And it seems that there are monsters coming from other places in this direction. "
After hearing Chu Ning's words, the expressions of the four people suddenly changed.
If it were just these few monsters, everyone could still give it a try.
If another monster comes...
At this moment, Chu Ning didn't care to talk too much to a few people, and said decisively:
"Fellow Taoists, I have some skills in dealing with these monsters.
You try to contain some monsters as much as possible, and leave the rest to me.
I'll kill the flying metallic monster first! "
While speaking, Chu Ning had already dodged and flew out of the formation.
He directly faced the sixth-order purple-gold bat that was the first to fly at this moment.
Golden Armored Shadow Fist!
Condensing a trace of Gengjin Qi into his fist, Chu Ning blasted out several fist shadows one after another!
Immediately, powerful fist shadows blasted towards the purple-gold bat.
This bat just turned sideways.
Void finger!
At this moment, beside the purple-gold bat, the space suddenly fluctuated!
An invisible space formed by the power of space suddenly appeared.
The unaware Zijin Bat's body was directly penetrated by this finger.
Suddenly, purple-black animal blood surged out!
The sixth-level monster raised its head in shock and looked at the monk in front of it who seemed to be of the same level as it.
But what fell into its gaze was a flash of green light.
Five Elements Spirit Sword Wood Spirit Sword!
It had already been injured by the Void Finger, but now under the heavy blow from Chu Ning's natal magic weapon, the sixth-level monster could no longer support itself and fell directly from the air.
However, Chu Ning obviously did not intend to let it go.
As his body flashed, he appeared in front of the sixth-level monster that had just killed him.
Chu Ning grabbed it with his empty hand, and wisps of Gengjin Qi were immediately sucked into his hand and turned into a ball of pale golden air, which disappeared in his hand in the blink of an eye.
After absorbing a lot of Gengjin Qi, Chu Ning has become extremely proficient and no longer needs to coordinate with spells like before.
Because Chu Ning's speed was so fast, it only took a few breaths from the moment he shot to killing him.
At this time, the remaining few people had just flown out of the formation.
The four of them couldn't help but widen their eyes when they saw Chu Ning killing a sixth-level monster in just a few rounds.
"Fellow Daoist Chu...has he really just advanced to the middle stage of Golden Core?"
Wu Rongfeng murmured at this moment.
Chang Lingshan and Han Shihong looked at each other and saw horror in each other's eyes.
Relatively speaking, the two of them had more contact with Chu Ning, especially Chang Lingshan who lived next door.
I know that more than a year ago, Chu Ning was still an early-stage Jindan cultivator.
The promotion to the middle stage of Jindan was only a recent event.
But looking at Chu Ning's method of killing the sixth-level monsters at this moment, he didn't look like a monk who had just advanced to the middle stage of the Golden Core.
"Fellow Taoists, fight quickly!"
And at this moment, Chu Ning's voice came.
Seeing that Chu Ning had once again faced a sixth-level monster, several people also drove their magic weapons to face the rest of the monsters.
At this moment, Chu Ning was facing two sixth-level monsters.
While flying in the air, Chu Ning waved his Golden Armor Divine Shadow Fist.
He attacked a huge sixth-level monster, the Red-tailed Crow, which looked like a crow but had a red tail.
At the same time, he opened his mouth and sprayed out the green wood spirit sword, which had just been taken back, and attacked another one-eyed Jiaoyu spirit.
When the two sixth-level monsters saw that Chu Ning was attacking them at the same time, they all roared in shock.
The sixth-level Red-tailed Crow's red tail trembled, and it opened its mouth and sprayed a black and red flame, attacking Chu Ning.
And the one-eyed Jiaoyu spirit emitted a white light from its one eye, hitting Chu Ning.
Facing the attacks of two sixth-level monsters, Chu Ning was not panicked at all.
He used the Divine Wind Escape and disappeared in a flash.
When he appeared again, he was above the red-tailed crow.
At the same time, a layer of rock armor protection magic shield suddenly appeared outside his body.
He let the white light attack from the one-eyed dragon fish spirit fall on him.
Chu Ning controlled the Earth Spirit Rock Armor magic armor to rotate rapidly to resist the attack on it.
And in his hand, there was already a red magic sword. He pointed his hand and the sword slashed down from top to bottom!
The red-tailed crow, whose defensive magic power was completely broken by Chu Ning's Golden Armor Divine Shadow Fist's continuous attack, was still trying to dodge the extremely sharp Fire Spirit Sword.
But it was too late. The red light flashed and disappeared, and directly pierced through its neck!
