Longevity begins with alchemy

Chapter 171 Continuing to Fall
Su Yi saw that the fire-eating flying ants were eating happily, and his master couldn't help but feel very good.

He knew that during the process of growth and evolution, the fire-eating flying ants needed to ingest various spiritual objects from heaven and earth to supplement their nutrition, and the most important thing was to ingest various substances rich in fire aura.

In the cave here, there is sufficient fire spirit energy. Those flying insects often live here for many months, and their bodies are already filled with fire spirit energy, which is a great supplement for the fire-eating flying ants.

So while Su Yi was falling, he kept collecting the corpses of flying insects and putting them into the spirit beast bag. He didn't stop putting them in until the little guys' bellies were full.

These little things are like newborn puppies, they don’t know when they are hungry or full, so when feeding, more is not always better, but a certain amount must be controlled.

Su Yi then put the flying insect corpses into a free storage bag and kept them for later feeding to the fire-eating flying ants.

After descending step by step like this for about an hour, those swarms of flying insects no longer appeared around.

However, Su Yi did not remove the Lihuo Nine Directions Flag Array that protected him, because he guessed that this place might be the territory of another species, so the flying insects disappeared.

Sure enough, soon one after another strange snakes appeared and began to attack the barrier of the magic circle. Su Yi used his clairvoyance to check carefully and found out what kind of strange snake it was, and it was true that it was a "tongue".

It turned out that at this time, there were countless gecko-like creatures lying on the rock wall of the cave. However, the color of their skin was almost exactly the same as the color of the surrounding rock walls, so it was difficult to see clearly.

These "gecko" monsters have long, forked tongues at the tips. Su Yi estimates that they hunt flying insects for a living, so those flying insects don't dare to come down anymore.

Such a strange landform actually has a food chain, which makes Su Yi a little surprised. Sure enough, one side of the water and soil supports one side of creatures. No matter how bad the environment is, there are still creatures to survive.

These gecko monsters obviously considered themselves their masters here, so they did not welcome the two intruders Su Yi and Hu Meier, and kept extending their long tongues covered with mucus to attack them.

Su Yi was okay, but Hu Mei'er was extremely disgusted by those sticky and slippery long tongues, so she actually took out a magic weapon like a treasure mirror and covered her whole body to prevent those long tongues from getting close to her.

It's just that this place has the effect of suppressing cultivation. Hu Mei'er gave up her body and controlled the magic weapon, which was really a trade-off. She could only narrow the aperture of the mirror as much as possible to save as much mana as possible.

Otherwise, it would be terrible if all the mana in the body would be consumed before reaching the bottom of the cave.

Of course, Su Yi didn't make fun of Hu Mei'er's leisure. Even when he got here, he remained tense because those gecko beasts not only had long strange tongues that could attack enemies, but they were also able to fly.

In other words, it's not really flying. It's more appropriate to describe it as gliding.

Those gecko monsters have two film-like tissues between their two front legs and the chest and abdomen. When the gecko monsters straighten their two front legs, the two film-like tissues will open, and then they Then jump down from a high place and glide a certain distance.

I don't know if it's because the intelligence of these gecko monsters is too low, but they don't have the slightest fear of Hu Meier, a high-level monster. It stands to reason that monsters instinctively fear existences higher than themselves. Why doesn't the iron law work here?

Of course, if they were outside, either Su Yi or Hu Mei'er could kill these low-level gecko beasts with just a raise of their hands.

It's just that their cultivation is suppressed here, and they can't show their full strength, and these gecko monsters have lived here for many years and have already adapted to the constraints here, so they can be so arrogant.

They kept jumping down from high places, then gliding for a certain distance in the air, and finally stuck to Su Yi's Lihuo Jiufang Banner Array and Hu Meier's Mirror Mask like a dog's skin plaster.

Although both Su Yi's magic circle and Hu Mei'er's light shield have the function of killing gecko monsters, the number of these monsters is so large that they can be killed endlessly, which is really annoying.The most important thing is that these gecko monsters are very ugly, and with saliva flowing from their mouths, they are clinging to the space of the magic circle and the light shield. It really fulfills the sentence, toads crawling on the feet, and the diaphragms of people.

Fortunately, the territory of these gecko monsters is not that big. After about half an hour, those gecko monsters became increasingly rare.

In the end, even the undead gecko monster covering the space of the magic circle no longer pestered the two of them. Instead, it jumped down on its own initiative, and then returned to the rock wall to climb up.

Before the two of Su Yi were lucky enough to get rid of those disgusting gecko monsters, they heard a clear bird song at the same time.

At first, Su Yi thought he heard it wrong, but soon the sound of birdsong spread.

Immediately afterwards, Su Yi saw countless black giant birds pouring out from below, just like fountains or tides.

At first glance, those giant birds looked like large bats, with wings and no feathers, and their bodies were densely covered with raised bones and tendons.

It seemed that the eyesight of those giant birds was similar to that of bats, because Su Yi noticed that the eyes of those giant birds had huge, thick eyelids hanging down, and the eyelids of those giant birds were all dead, which meant that those giant birds had no eyesight. The bird's eyes cannot be opened.

Perhaps those giant birds have lived in this dark environment for a long time, and the role of hearing seems to be greater, so their useless vision gradually deteriorates.

This place is like a small world, where all kinds of creatures form a complete food chain, but the food chain here is downward.

The further down, the higher the level of the creature and the stronger its combat effectiveness.

At this time, Su Yi and Hu Meier were being attacked by those giant birds.

Their attack method is very simple, that is, they use their huge bodies as weapons and use the power generated by their extremely fast flight to hit their protective weapons.

The skulls of those giant birds were not only very wide, but also bulged high, like huge obtuse angles or battering rams. With this, the giant birds kept hitting the two of them.

Fortunately for Su Yi, the Nine Directions Flags of Lihuo array he set up was a way to use force. In addition, the fire aura here was dense and could continuously charge the array of Nine Directions Flags of Lihuo, so he didn't feel it. No matter how hard he tried, he resisted the attacks of those giant birds.

Hu Mei'er over there is different. Her precious mirror magic weapon relies entirely on her own magic power. It's obviously very energy-consuming to just defend without attacking.

Hu Meier obviously also realized that if this continues, it may not be able to maintain the territory passing through these giant birds.

In addition, her temper was getting worse at this time, so she simply stopped using the treasured mirror to protect herself. Instead, she put away the treasured mirror, then opened her three huge fox tails and started a head-on fight with those giant birds and monsters.

Su Yi ignored Hu Meier's side and never thought of opening the magic circle to let Hu Meier enter.

Because since they went down to the cave, there has been a vague hostility between the two.

To put it bluntly, both of them came down with a mission, so as long as they took care of themselves, there was no need to worry about anything else.
