Immortal Formula

   Chapter 472 Ancient Monster Beast

   As soon as she finished speaking, an extremely shrill whistling sound came from the valley, and it cut through the night sky at once. The harsh sound seemed to pierce everyone's heart. Lan Xiang was startled, she looked up into the air, and seemed to sense an extremely powerful aura slowly waking up. At this moment, Gu Yan suddenly raised the Zhu Yanjing mirror and looked at a dark corner, "Look!"

  Lan Xiang turned her head and looked over. The Zhu Yan mirror was glowing with green brilliance. Although it was dim, it was able to illuminate it clearly. She saw it clearly, and suddenly took a breath, "Oh my God!"

There is a huge pit that looks incomparably wide. It stretches to endless depths under the mountain wall. It is almost impossible to see the edge at a glance. Under the big pit, there are countless bones buried. There are countless skeletons of different sizes, and it can be seen that those skeletons were all extremely powerful monsters before they were alive.

Lan Xiang was so surprised that she was almost speechless. She had been walking in Cangwu for so many years and had seen a lot of strange things, but she had never seen so many monster skeletons gathered together. He pointed his finger in amazement and said, "There are at least tens of thousands of them here, right?"

Gu Yan is much quieter than Lan Xiang, she counted silently in her heart, and said, "This pit is at least a few miles in radius, and tens of thousands should still be underestimated. It seems that the missing monsters we mentioned at the beginning, They were all buried here."

  Lan Xiang replied from his surprise at this time, "Danxia Mountain is also a blessed land of immortal mountains, not the kind of poor mountains and bad waters overseas. How can there be so many monsters growing?"

  Gu Yan said categorically: "These monsters must not be born in the country, but someone brought them from outside!"

  Lan Xiang said in surprise: "How much effort will it take to bring so many monsters here?"

Gu Yan shook his head and said, "It's not particularly troublesome. Most of these monsters are in the third or fourth order. Although they are ferocious, a cultivator can easily deal with them. The Tianji Mountains between the southeast and the Central Plains stretch for hundreds of thousands of people. There are hundreds of millions of monsters inside, and it’s not difficult to catch some from there and bring them here, but in such a small place as Danxia Mountain, what is the purpose of bringing these monsters here?”

She is from a loose cultivator. Although Lan Xiang is an elder of a faction, she is not a big faction. She has a clear understanding of economic accounts. If the Yuan Dan of these monsters is sold, it will at least be a huge sum of money. The money is enough for a sect like Bixiazong for a hundred years. With such a big effort and handwriting, it is definitely a great force. With those people of the Danyang sect, it is absolutely impossible to do it. . In Yunze country, there are such generous people, apart from the royal family, then only the Qin and Yuan families are left.

   The two looked at each other, and they both felt that they seemed to be inadvertently caught in a great secret, and they were already trapped in it and could not escape. Gu Yan thinks about it now. Back then, the Danyang faction wanted to capture the Danxia sect, probably because they wanted to capture it as a place for the eye, but when Bi Zhenzhen escaped back, they would not pursue it, so as not to scare the snakes. It took a lot of time to build three mountain peaks in the distance using the technique of forming shapes according to the location, and at the same time, the weak sect of Danxia Sect was left there, probably for the convenience of concealing people's eyes and ears. Otherwise, the disappearance of a small sect for no reason will always arouse suspicion. Anyway, Bi Zhenzhen was also injured. At the tasting conference at the end of the year, the Danxia Sect will be silently removed, and then the Danyang faction can quietly annex the Danxia Sect and incorporate the entire Danxia Mountain into its own. under domination. And the secrets in this valley will probably no longer be known to outsiders.

It's just that Gu Yan still has a question that he doesn't understand, why the Danyang faction has become so eager to do things in the past few years, and at all costs, even the danger of damaging the Danxia Mountains, they must gather the spiritual energy here to arrange such a place. Formation, is it true that the Danyang faction, which has been slowly plotting for hundreds of years, has suddenly become urgent only in the past few years?

With that shrill whistle, it seemed that the whole earth was trembling for it, and the countless trees planted around kept shaking, and some of the bones in the big pit actually flew up on their own. Fly into the sky.

Gu Yan said in a low voice, "This is the way to drive away tigers and swallow dragons! These people put the bones of monsters here because the earth's veins have nourished the corpse's energy. After years of storage, these bones have begun to transform into monsters on their own. Qi is the most powerful food for nourishing monsters!"

She looked around and pointed at the nine towering trees around her, "That's the technique of Nine Dragons Chaining Orbs, which tightly locks the earth veins here, so that the spiritual energy cannot be leaked out, and it can't be circled here. , Living water changes to stagnant water, and spiritual qi turns into dead qi, which is used to nourish tens of thousands of bones.

In her heart, she was really surprised. Different from the magic method she saw in the underground palace, the arrangement of the formation here, although scary to say, is a real Taoist technique. Only people who know very well can make such an arrangement. Whether it is the use of the surrounding terrain, the understanding of the spiritual veins, and the control of the formation method, the level of this person is better than that of Gu Yan. Gu Yan has been in Cangwu for a long time, and this is the first time I have seen such a person. talent. Sure enough, as soon as they arrive in the Central Plains, they hide the dragon and crouch the tiger!

  Lan Xiang suddenly pulled Gu Yan with his hand and exclaimed, "Look!"

The place where they were standing was not too far from the big pit where the bones were buried. It happened to be standing in the middle of the nine giant trees. At this time, from the ground, I didn’t know when, a thick layer of white had emerged. Qi floated up from the ground, only a few inches above the ground, and rolled up against the ground. Wherever it went, the grass spreading on the ground all withered and turned brown. This white air came from all directions, and surrounded the two people in the center in a blink of an eye. At the same time, there were shrill whistles all around, and all around the river valley, fires lit up into the sky, Lan Xiang whispered, "It seems that our whereabouts have been discovered!"

Gu Yan was still quite calm at this time, she whispered: "It shouldn't be! This dead energy should be when the Taiyin is at its peak every time, and you have to let go of the Nine Dragons Lock Pearl and let the yin out. Go halfway, otherwise the yin will be too strong and it will easily devour the spiritual vein itself. But we have to find a place to hide immediately!"

   Lan Xiang had no research on the way of fighting, so he naturally obeyed Gu Yan's orders. Sure enough, after those firelights rose to the sky, it seemed that there was no more movement around, but there were a few fire pillars hanging high in the air, like a signal, indicating the arrival of the time.

But the dead aura had quickly spread to the earth, and was about to surround them, Gu Yan whispered: "The position we are standing is right in the center of the Nine Dragons Lock Pearl, the dead aura will eventually gather here, and then Let's go first!" She waved her hand, raised the vermilion mirror, the twelve beast heads roared lowly, exhaling thick green energy, and the surrounding sky suddenly became dark.

The brilliance on the Zhu Yan mirror is constantly changing, the dark clouds and green trees in the sky, and scenes flash across the mirror surface quickly, the mirror surface is smooth as water, and Gu Yan's five fingers are like a clever butterfly, constantly on the mirror surface. The spells were drawn, and the position of the aura around them was also changing.

Gu Yan's forehead was slightly soaked with cold sweat, and she didn't have time to wipe it off. Lan Xiang raised her head, only to see the five flag gates floating in the air that had been following them, and they were also changing with Gu Yan's movements. At this time, the dead aura in the outside world is also changing drastically. Lan Xiang has a feeling in his heart that these two completely different auras are exchanging each other like a lock that has been folded in half. trying to find a way to fit together.

Suddenly Gu Yan stopped his hand and let out a long sigh of relief. All the spiritual energy around him was gathered up by the Zhu Yanjing mirror at the same time. The formation of the five flag gates quickly narrowed inward. disappeared. When he reappeared, Lan Xiang only felt that his feet had already stepped on the top of a giant tree. Now they are several dozen meters above the ground, observing the situation here.

Gu Yan took a long breath and shook off the tired look on his face, "The people who set up the formation are really bold! Nine Dragons Lock Pearl, he actually left the exit in the position of the dead door, two dead bodies collided, he I'm not afraid that it will devour myself because of this!" Gu Yan used the method of dying to survive, and finally escaped from the door of death and reincarnation, but it also made her break out in a cold sweat. She has entered countless formations in her life, and the ancient formation map has experienced more than once. In comparison, the technique of this formation person can really be said to be the best among them.

Lan Xiang gave her a hand and said, "You can see it again!" She pointed to the air with her hand, and Gu Yan looked up. She had not been able to observe the situation above her head just now. Can not help but surprised.

The two raised their heads and looked up. At this time, a thick layer of fog was permeating the air. Behind the fog, there seemed to be an incomparably huge monster hidden. Under the cover of the endless fog, only the The faint figure, its body is dozens of feet long, extending on both ends, and one can't see the edge at all. On the huge and slender body, it seems that there are countless tentacles growing, squirming endlessly, behind the clouds, there is a The big mouth of the blood basin opened, and the bones in the big pit were sucked into the mouth by the big mouth of the blood basin.

  Lan Xiang exclaimed, "These corpses were originally fed to this monster!"

   After about half an hour, the castration of those corpses flying into the air began to slowly stop. The giant beast seemed to be full of food and drink, and its body began to fall, slowly falling into the valley. And looking at the big pit on the ground, it has gone to a shallow layer.

The white bones piled up in the big pit are only more than half of the pit, Lan Xiang said with lingering fear: "No wonder this pit is not full, it seems that the upper half has been fed for the past few years. That monster's belly!"

  Gu Yan was also shocked by this great discovery. She traveled all over the world, and experienced so many places. She even saw the bone of a dragon, but such a huge and ferocious monster was still something she had never seen before. She frowned and said: "These monsters should have been plundered from the Tianji Mountains and used to serve the giant beast as a meal. When we first entered the valley, the fog poisonous insects we saw should be It is used to bite the corpse of the monster, devouring all the flesh and blood on the corpse, leaving only the bones and the Yuan Dan contained in the monster's body. Every midnight, when the spirit of Taiyin is at its peak, this giant beast They came out and devoured them. But what did those monsters that I saw at the beginning do?"

What they saw when they first entered the mouth of the valley, the strange insects that covered the low bushes, were thrown to death at night, leaving white insect eggs, which regenerated into adults at dawn, and the cycle repeated every day. Repeat this life. It must have something to do with this giant beast.

  Lan Xiang had a worried look on his face, "It doesn't matter, but if we are here again, should we continue?" What Lan Xiang raised was a very realistic question. Gu Yan and her are only passers-by in Danxia Mountain. They only came to help because they had a personal friendship with Bi Zhenzhen. They came here to find the monster that caused her injury and see if there was a way to heal her, but neither of them did not. Because of this, he will be enmity with the Danyang faction. After all, the two of them are the worth of the elders of the Bixia sect. Once they are revealed, it will most likely lead to a confrontation between the two sects. This is something they cannot ignore as the elders of the Bixia sect.

And the complexity of this river valley is far beyond their expectations. Here, they have encountered unknown monsters, countless fog poisonous insects, endless bones of monsters, and a huge monster. And the monsters of unknown origin, coupled with these esoteric formations, the mysterious figure behind them is really not something that can be shaken by their two cultivators. Therefore, Lan Xiang had some ideas to leave. This is not because of being greedy and afraid of things, but because of the consideration of a sect elder.

Gu Yan has always been alone, so she doesn't care much about these things. She has provoked a lot of enemies since the beginning of her cultivation, and she has come to this day safely. Still more stable. But what Gu Yan is thinking about now is what secrets are hidden in this valley?

Obviously, the person who set up the formation used the method of shaping the shape according to the locality to create a "locked dragon and hidden hill", and then set up a formation of "nine dragon lock beads" here, in order to gather all the spiritual energy of the earth here. Coming here, then, it is mostly used to nourish this monster. Those unknown monsters, although they don't know their purpose, are inseparable from this monster.

Seeing that Lan Xiang had already started to retreat, Gu Yan smiled bitterly: "If you want to get out now, I'm afraid it's too late, since this is the situation of Suolong Yinqiu, then at night when the yin energy is at its peak, we can't get out of here. Get out, otherwise the nine dragon beads here will lock us firmly here, trap us both with the essence of the yin, until the turn of the second time, and then the yin will trap us, The two dead qi collide with each other, and we will be trapped in the ground forever until we are eroded by these dead qi and turned into bones."

  Lan Xiang stuck out his tongue, "It's so powerful!" She heard the meaning of Gu Yan's words and said, "Then, is it only after dawn that we can get out of here?"

Gu Yan said: "Yes, at noon, when the yang qi is at its peak, I have a way to break the yin qi here, let the Nine Dragons Lock Pearls fail, and then I can get out. It's just..." Her face With a playful look on his face, "Come to this river valley, are you really going to go home empty-handed?"

Lan Xiang couldn't help laughing, Gu Yan's expression made her feel a little bit concerned. Speaking of which, she was more lively than Gu Yan, but as an elder of a faction, she had to think more about things, but From the bottom of her heart, when she was young, she was also a character who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic. Now that she knows that it will take at least six hours to get out, she no longer mentions the matter of leaving. stand up.

  Rao's temperament was flying high, but she was still taken aback by Gu Yan's thoughts. According to Gu Yan's thoughts, she was going to explore that valley!

  According to Bi Zhenzhen, the valley where the giant beast was hiding was where she was once attacked. A few years ago, there should not be that big pit here, and there were not so many arrangements in the valley. These things were built in just three years. Although Gu Yan couldn't immediately break the surrounding Nine Dragons Lock Beads, but she quietly went to the valley to explore without disturbing the Danyang Sect disciples here, she was still somewhat confident.

  Lan Xiang thought about it for a while, but still couldn't help being seduced by Gu Yan's thoughts. She also wanted to know what kind of monster the giant beast hidden in the deep valley was. She whispered: "Taniguchi is locked by clouds and mist all the year round. It is probably not ordinary mist. Are you sure?"

Gu Yan also replied in a low voice: "That should be the breath of this monster, the yin qi that has accumulated over the years, combined with the terrain here, has evolved into dead qi, which is a natural barrier at the mouth of the valley, and ordinary people can't get through it. Yes, but I also have a way." She raised her head and looked at the stars in the sky, "There is still one stick of incense, and the star position of Tianxuan will fall here, then the yin will be weakened to a small extent. , we'll take this opportunity to go in!"

The time for a stick of incense passed in a blink of an eye, and the two were ready. Lan Xiang took the two magical weapons for body protection in his hands, and prepared to release them in a while if something went wrong. Gu Yan also held the Zhuyan Mirror in his hand. , and then both of them got on Gu Yan's Jinyun Plate. At this time, she had already restrained the precious light of Jinyun Plate. Looking at it from a distance, it was just a gray cloud of green air, and then quietly floated to Taniguchi. above.

When they got to the top, they could see the terrain below more clearly. The valley was a long and narrow gourd-shaped area. The entrance of the valley was very small, but the terrain below was extremely deep. Not the following situation. As soon as the clouds and mists approached Taniguchi, I felt a strong fishy smell coming from my nostrils. Gu Yan patted the little Jiang standing on the shoulder, "Break it!"

Little Jiang hummed twice without saying a word. He stood on Gu Yan's shoulder and shook his head. Purple-gold electric light shot out from his two purple pupils, like the scorching sun melting snow, without even a sound. The cloud and mist were silently broken open, Gu Yan pulled Lan Xiang's hand, and the two quickly submerged into the cloud layer, and then the layer of cloud and mist closed silently again. It's like no one has ever entered.

The clouds are several feet thick, but fortunately, Xiao Jiang's purple eyes and golden pupils are even more powerful after the promotion. The purple light shoots forward, no matter how thick the clouds are, they pass through. The two quickly passed through the clouds and saw the bottom. Case.

   On the ground, there are thick layers of fallen leaves, and under the fallen leaves is a piece of white fine sand, and it is not clear how thick the sand is. Gu Yan whispered: "It's the corpses of those monsters!"

Lan Xiang also saw these scenes, she couldn't help frowning, the fine sand accumulated at least several feet thick, those monster insects die every day by hundreds of millions, the accumulation of corpses is almost like a sea of ​​smoke, just thinking of being in the same place with the corpses of countless insects , she unconsciously felt a wave of discomfort on her body.

Looking at the surrounding terrain, Lan Xiang said strangely: "There seems to be no other secret way here, where did that monster go?" Surrounded by incomparably hard mountain walls, straight cliffs standing like knives. All around, the ground is thick with fallen leaves and insect corpses. You can't even see a cave, and naturally there won't be any secret passages.

  Gu Yan has the same feeling as Lan Xiang. Although she can ruthlessly kill no matter how vicious she is facing, it still feels a little strange to be in the same place with so many unknown monster corpses. She shook her head, discarding this weird feeling, and said, "The monster should be hiding deep in the ground, but there is no passage here..." She pondered, "Could it be that this monster knows the five escape methods? ?"

Lan Xiang said in surprise: "How is it possible! Although there are spirit beasts that are proficient in the five elements, but this monster is so huge, how can it be so psychic?" Generally speaking, The larger the size of a monster, the stronger its body will be, but in the same way, as the body is tyrannical, its intelligence will also be lower. It will take thousands of years for them to become wise. Unlike those small beasts the size of cats and dogs, they are born with psychic powers.

Gu Yan pondered and said: "It's not impossible, it's related to the bloodline of the spirit beast. If this spirit beast has the bloodline of the ancient spirit species..." She said this, and suddenly hit her forehead, "I remembered, What is that monster!"
