Chapter 68 Ice Fire Lake, Spider Scorpion Contest

Meridian Valley is a valley surrounded by mountains, with strange rocks in the valley, no tall trees, mostly low bushes.

This is where the two land veins of ice and fire meet. The valley is divided into two parts. The temperature difference is special. One side is as hot as noon, and the other side is as cool as midnight, so it is named Meridian Valley.

There are many karst caves extending in all directions in the valley, deep underground, and in these karst caves, there are many monsters who like to live in caves.

Demon spiders, red-tailed scorpions, red snakes, iron-toothed mice and so on.

Zhang Shan came down from the mountains beside the valley and walked carefully into the valley.

Under Ling Yuwei's guidance, he finally came to the entrance of a karst cave in the middle of the valley.

"This is the cave of the Ice Fire Demon Spider. From here to a thousand feet underground, there is a lake, and in the lake there is a twin flower, but there is a spider queen of a ninth-level spirit beast occupying there." Ling Yuwei whispered Said.

"Senior sister, are you sure it's just a ninth-level spirit beast? Isn't it the demon king?" Zhang Shan asked, looking at the entrance of the cave.

"There will be no demon king in Ziwu Valley. As long as it is a monster that has been promoted to the queen of the demon king, it must be transferred to the depths of the forest, and it cannot live thousands of miles away." Ling Yuwei said affirmatively.

"Why is this?" Zhang Shan was puzzled.

"It is said that 5000 years ago, the patriarch of the sect signed a contract with the demon king in the Linhai. Within ten thousand miles of Mitian Linhai, there can be no demon kings. However, after the spirit beasts are promoted to the demon kings, they must go to the depths of the forest. migrate."

Zhang Shan was surprised: "We humans actually signed a contract with monsters?"

"Well, according to the records of the Zongmen, I asked that Tianzong has hunted monsters and collected medicine villages in the Mitian Forest since the establishment of the sect, and the monsters continued to attack the disciples of the Zongmen. Five thousand years ago, there was an incident between humans and monsters In a great battle, the demon masters in the depths of the forest also joined in the battle."

"At that time, the patriarch of the sect, Huai Changfeng, had already cultivated to the realm of Supreme Martial Venerable. He fought against the Yao Zun for three days and three nights. The surrounding area of ​​Mitian Linhai was full of barbarians. There were countless deaths and injuries of monsters. I asked the disciples of Tian Zongmen also died heavy."

"In the end, with both sides hurting, Patriarch Huai signed a contract with the Yao Zun. The Mitian Linhai will enter thousands of miles, and no monster clan above the Monster King Realm is allowed to exist. Correspondingly, human warriors cannot hunt and kill monsters here."

"So that's it. If you put it this way, within ten thousand miles of the forest, it has become a buffer place for humans and monsters?" Zhang Shan suddenly said.

"To be precise, it is a buffer place for the high-level combat power of the two clans, but it is a place for the low-level combat power to hunt and kill each other." Ling Yuwei nodded.

Zhang Shan regained his energy and began to walk into the entrance of the cave: "I hope that the twin flower has not been eaten by the spider queen."

"Probably not. Calculating the time, that twin flower will take another year to mature. It is not worth the loss to eat it now. If it is eaten after it is fully mature, it may be promoted to become the demon king."

"But for me, one of its petals can heal my injuries now."

Ling Yuwei paused for a while and said: "Are you really going to deal with it for me? The ninth-level spirit beast is equivalent to a martial artist in the Xuanwu realm. You can't even take a single move from it. There is actually no need for you to do this."

"Anyway, let's go and have a look first. Maybe there is some way to lure it away. If we can't compete with it, we can find a way to outsmart it. We can't just watch you die and do nothing."

Zhang Shan said, and then laughed again: "However, if it really can't be done, I won't force it. At worst, I will help you avenge you after you die."

Ling Yuwei snorted, and lightly tapped his shoulder on the back: "I know you're not that kind."

"What, you are the one who advised me not to die for you, and now you blame me for refusing to sacrifice for you, neither left nor right, what exactly do you want me to do?" Zhang Shan said angrily.

Ling Yuwei held back her smile, and put her head on his shoulder: "Actually, what I thought at the time was that there was a twin flower, and there might be a second one, so I didn't plan to provoke the spider queen, but just wanted to go there to find a second flower." Fan, try your luck."

Zhang Shan was moved in his heart and said: "Maybe there is, maybe it is, even if the years are not enough, it should be effective to some extent, the idea of ​​saving life first and then attacking the spider queen is fine."

Thinking of this, he lifted his spirits, and the speed under his feet involuntarily accelerated a little.

The terrain of the cave has been extending downwards, and from time to time, some first- and second-order spirit beasts are encountered.

For this kind of low-level monster spider, Zhang Shan basically wiped out with one sword. The monster crystals of these things are extremely small, and they are worth a bit in the secular world, but they are basically worthless in Wentianzong.

There are many side roads under the cave, but Ling Yuwei recorded all the routes in a jade slip. Under her guidance, Zhang Shan did not hesitate to get lost along the way.

"It's a little strange. We have gone five hundred feet deep now, and we haven't encountered a fourth-order demon spider. Could it be that the most team has swept it recently?" Ling Yuwei asked suspiciously at this time.

"It's not just right, it saves us trouble." Zhang Shan laughed.

After walking for a while, a thought suddenly came from the spirit of the stele: "I sense the vibration of vitality below, as if there is a battle, right at the destination we are going to."

"Is it a battle between monsters or are there warriors below?" Zhang Shan's heart skipped a beat.

"The geomagnetism of this cave is chaotic. My consciousness has been severely weakened. At present, I can't really feel whether it is a human or a monster. I'm afraid I have to get closer." Bei Ling pondered.

"Is that so? Could it be that someone knew about the twin flowers and came to snatch them?"

Zhang Shan thought of a possibility, and the speed under his feet became faster.

After walking for a while, the stele spirit said again: "It's two spirit beasts fighting, one should be the spider queen of the ice fire demon spider, and the other is a ninth-level red-tailed scorpion. Be careful when the host approaches. .”

As Zhang Shan got closer and closer to the destination, the booming sound came from there, and there was a faint light in front of the tunnel.

He touched it carefully, finally reached the entrance of the tunnel, and slowly looked out with his head.

Outside is a huge karst cave like a square, surrounded by large and small caves connected to it, and the cave where Zhang Shan is located is one of them.

Amidst the booming sound, the two spirit beasts were fighting desperately.

They are all up to ten feet long, one is a jade-colored giant spider, the other is a black giant scorpion, their bodies are dripping with blood, covered with wounds of all sizes.

In the two places of the cave, large and small spider corpses and scorpion corpses died all over the place.

Ling Yuwei, who was on her back, breathed slightly shortly at this time, and whispered: "The twin flowers are in the middle of that small lake."

Zhang Shan turned his attention away from the two spirit beasts in the fight, and looked towards the middle of the cave.

There was a small lake with a diameter of about [-] feet. Red molten oars emerged from one side of the small lake, and the light in the cave came from this.

On the other side of the lake, there is a little bit of cold air. It is a spectacle that two scenes, one cold and one hot, appear in the same lake.

In the middle of the lake, a strange flower with red and white petals resembling a lotus is floating on the water.
