Chapter 373: Life hangs by a thread
half year later.
?Inside the secret passage.
??The top-level Beast Spirit Treasure Hunyuan Gun in Shen Ping's hand bloomed with layers of blood-colored light. A large number of special bugs like fireflies turned into pieces like moths flying into the flame when they encountered the blood-colored light.
?Take away the dazzling beast blood crystal.
Yin Ting couldn't help but smile and said, "This is the fifteenth one. There are indeed more beast blood essences in the middle area than in the dark area. In just half a year, we have obtained ten. If we continue at this rate, maybe in the remaining time You can harvest hundreds of them.”
?Her cold beautiful eyes were full of expectation.
The effect of beast blood essence is much stronger than that of beast blood heavenly liquid. If there are hundreds of them, it will be easy to comprehend the scale armor level. However, the strongest among all the beast spirit geniuses today is only at the scale armor level.
?“I’d like to lend you some good words.”
?“Let’s keep working hard.”
Shen Ping put away the Hunyuan Gun and continued to move forward with Yin Ting. Although the number of bugs near the beast blood crystal in the middle area had increased a lot and the defense capabilities had been strengthened, during the past six months while he and Yin Ting were searching, By the way, he has mastered the first blood light of the Hunyuan Gun. With this powerful form, even more bugs are not a problem.
?Twenty pieces.
?Twenty-five.
Forty... In the past three years since arriving in the palace cave world, the two of them have obtained forty pieces of beast blood essence. This harvest is more than the combined total of the genius teams of the Demon Clan, Yan Clan, etc. This is because of the two of them. Due to the limited detection range, if the Eye of the Sea Beast could cover the entire cave, Shen Ping would obtain more beast blood essence.
?…
?Medium area.
The team of geniuses of the Spirit Clan only obtained four beast blood essences in three years, and also lost more than ten geniuses. This is already a big loss for the Spirit Clan. There is no way, there are too many bugs in the middle area. The power of the third form of the high-level beast spirit treasure cannot be killed immediately. Even if more than ten people in the team attack collectively, it is difficult to kill them all, so losses are inevitable.
?However, the geniuses of the spirit race are quite satisfied with being able to get four, especially the strong ones. This means that they can also get the essence of beast blood, instead of just giving one to Linghao.
?“Be careful!”
“When you encounter animal blood essence again, you must not be careless at all…”
“Look at the front, there are animal blood essences, three pills, exactly three pills!”
?An Eldar team that lost two ordinary geniuses. After entering a secret passage that day, all the team members became excited. They did not expect to see three of them!
“Wait a minute, the number of bugs around the three beast blood essences may be even greater. With the strength of our team, they might all die here, so we should inform Linghao and the others immediately!”
"This... these are three. If Linghao is notified, even if we get it in the end, we won't have a share!"
"Yes, the essence of animal blood is a rare thing in the world. Compared with Linghao, we are only in the level of understanding. If we can have the essence of animal blood, we may not be able to reach his level, and we can even worship the emperor as our teacher!"
?Hear the last sentence.
The temporary captain of the team was moved. He gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, let's give it a try, but we have agreed in advance that if there is any danger, Linghao must be notified immediately!"
So the thirteen geniuses prepared as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They deployed all means such as fairy formations, puppets, defensive beast spirit treasures, etc. Although these things could not cause harm to the bugs, they could delay them for some time, and as long as there were more With a few breaths, they can activate the power of the third form of the advanced beast spirit treasure to kill all the bugs that come towards them.
"go!"
The Spirit Race is not good at immortal skills, and they don’t have much research on puppets. However, they all have fairy puppets, but they are just rough compared to the human race, and they have little help in combat.
?With the movement of three beast blood essences.
??The surface of the nearby secret tunnel suddenly shone brightly, covering an area of ??dozens of feet.
?These thirteen geniuses suddenly turned pale.
You must know that all detection methods such as spiritual consciousness and mana are useless in the secret passage. Even if the fairy puppet encounters an insect, it will be instantly devoured and no residue will be left. Only by killing it can the beast blood essence be taken away. This requires They went to pick it up at close range, and like the one they encountered before, the insect's light range was only a few feet away. They guessed that there would be more bugs with three, but they didn't expect there to be so many.
?“Escape!”
?Without any hesitation.
??The thirteen geniuses fled as fast as they could in their lives, and at the same time, they immediately sent a message to Linghao, the strongest genius of the Spirit Clan.
They reacted very quickly, but the narrow and winding path affected their speed, but the bug was not affected at all. He quickly caught up with the three people behind him. The three people struggled and turned into blood.
?However, their deaths bought some time for the rest.
?Escape from death.
?The remaining ten geniuses returned to the main passage and looked at the secret passage in front of them with lingering fear. These insects were really terrifying.
“Let’s wait for Linghao to come over.”
?The temporary captain said helplessly.
?…
The moment Linghao of the Spirit Clan took away the three beast blood crystals, the maps of all the beast spirit geniuses changed. There were five more secret passages on the lower-ranked maps, and ten more secret passages on the top 100 maps. There are twenty more secret passages in the top ten, all of which are located in the branch areas of the main passage.
Yin Ting noticed the map changes and quickly reminded Shen Ping.
?After reading the map.
?These branch roads are a bit far away from where the two of them are. They need to walk five or six branches during this period, and it will take more than half a year to reach them.
?To go or not to go.
??The two had differences for the first time.
Shen Ping planned to go. Since there were changes, it meant that there must be animal blood essence in these new secret passages, but Yin Ting did not want to go, because in her opinion, there was no need to waste time. Anyway, they were exploring the vicinity along the main passage. You can also get a lot of animal blood essence from the secret passage.
??More importantly, Yin Ting deduced that the geniuses of other tribes are likely to explore the Chadao area, so they will have a chance of encountering them.
“Don’t worry, I have mastered the first layer of blood light. Even if I encounter the top ten most powerful geniuses, I can still save my life if I can’t defeat them. Besides, if I encounter them, just avoid them in advance.”
?See what Shen Ping said.
Yin Ting had no choice but to agree to go to the Chadao area.
The two people immediately changed direction and followed the markings on the map to follow a forked road on the left. During this period, Shen Ping used the Eyes of the Sea Beast to explore nearby secret passages from time to time. Unfortunately, they found nothing. After walking for seven months, the two finally arrived. New dark passage area.
?Just arrived here.
??? Before Shen Ping could activate the strange beast talent to check, Yin Ting sensed a strange fluctuation.
“It’s the essence of animal blood!”
“I didn’t expect that the essence of animal blood in this area could be clearly sensed.”
?Both of them were surprised.
Previously, the search for beast blood essence relied on Shen Ping's talent. Without the Eyes of the Sea Beast, they would have to explore every secret passage like other talented teams. Not only was the efficiency low, but it was also easy to waste time.
?But here, the fluctuation of the beast blood essence is very strong.
?Shen Ping hurriedly opened his talent.
As expected, there was a large amount of energy aura from insects in a dark passage ahead, covering an area of ??several hundred feet, which frightened him greatly.
?“Hundreds of feet?”
Yin Ting frowned, "Are you sure?"
"Hard to say."
?“Let’s test it first.”
The two of them came to the secret passage and walked in a zigzag manner for five or six days when they saw the essence of animal blood suspended in front of them. “Four!”
“There are so many of them, no wonder the range of nearby insects exceeds a hundred feet!”
?The two of them were surprised and happy.
Shen Ping hurriedly said: "You retreat to the secret passage first."
With so many bugs, it would be troublesome if the power of the first form of the top beast spirit treasure did not kill the bugs.
?He didn’t want anything to happen to Yin Ting.
Yin Ting looked hesitant, but she also knew that staying here would only get in the way. After repeatedly reminding Shen Ping to be careful, she retreated to the entrance of the passage.
????????????????????????????????????
?When the animal blood crystals are shaking.
The cave wall flickered, and over a million strange bugs were densely packed and overwhelmingly swept towards Shen Ping. The strange beast puppets were immediately devoured, leaving nothing behind.
??????????????????????????? simultaneously.
The blood lines on the tip of the Hunyuan Gun suddenly burst out with **** light as the strange beast's mana was poured into it. Immediately, the surface of the Hunyuan Gun was filled with blood lines, and the blood light instantly pierced the space in front of the eyes like a sword light, hole in the hole. The jade collapsed and a large number of insects were wiped out.
??As for the power of this form, the blood light is just a kind of brilliance that bursts out when activated. Its real power is still in the gun body, but the blood light alone can kill the bugs, and there is no need for Shen Ping to use the spear again.
?See all the insects annihilated.
Shen Ping breathed a sigh of relief. After easily taking away the beast blood essence, he returned to the entrance of the passage.
“The journey for more than half a year was finally worth it.”
??If you were in the main passage, with the previous efficiency, you could get more than ten beast blood essences in most half a year. However, judging from the four pills connected together, the number of beast blood essences in this branch area is probably quite a lot.
The two of them did not dare to delay and continued walking towards the next secret passage.
on the way.
?The rich beast blood essence was constantly surging, but there was no secret passage nearby. However, Shen Ping could see the scent of insects in the distance with his talent.
"These secret passages should belong to other Tianjiao maps. If we go there, we have to take two detours."
There are many passages in the cave, and the map for Shen Ping and Yin Ting is only a small area. If they had not relied on the talent of strange beasts, they would have missed a lot of beast blood essence in the middle area.
Yin Ting said, "The two roads are not too far away and can be reached in seven or eight days. What you need to worry about is that if you rush there, you might run into the geniuses of other clans."
Shen Ping nodded. There are no other geniuses in his line of sight now, but it is not necessarily the case if he rushes over. Moreover, the cave environment is special, and the range of his magical beast talent will be affected. If he sees other geniuses, then other geniuses will be affected. Basically, his position can be sensed through spiritual consciousness.
“You wait here, my escape speed is fast, I should be able to take away the beast blood essence before other geniuses go.”
?After saying this, he activated strengthening and teleportation.
?It takes seven or eight days to walk around the side road, but it only takes half a day for him to teleport.
?There are three beast blood essences in this secret passage.
?Until he returned, no other genius entered the secret passage.
?…
?A few days later.
??One of the teams of the Demon Race's Prodigies came to this secret passage.
??There are still fluctuations in the magic power of strange beasts in the secret passage, and the cave wall has also been damaged a lot.
?“Damn it, a prodigy from another race got there first!”
"At the main passage, other teams of our clan have met once. We didn't expect that we met in the branch area. Who is it that can be so efficient?"
"Don't waste time, continue to the next secret passage. The beast blood essence in this branch area can be sensed, and the competition will be fierce."
Next, not only the Demon Clan, Yan Clan, Yao Clan, but also the Jie Clan and other Tianjiao Clan's secret passages marked on the map were visited by Shen Ping. This made them very angry, because judging from the destruction traces of the secret passages, there were all the secret passages inside. There are more than three.
“It must be the Spirit Clan. Their Ling Hao ranks very high, and the map is more detailed than ours. There may be other shortcuts leading here.”
“The hateful Realm Clan and Stone Clan, they are the only ones ranked higher than our Spirit Clan.”
“These powerful groups originally occupied a lot of the first 10,000 people, but now they even want to **** the essence of animal blood, and they can’t even let anyone live!”
??All races were suddenly suspicious of each other. Even the four races, Monster Race, Demon Race, Flame Race, and Spirit Race, had rifts with each other. After all, the essence of beast blood was extremely valuable.
The instigator, Shen Ping, was very excited. He really came to the right crossroads area. In just half a year, he had obtained more than a hundred pieces of animal blood essence. Counting the previous ones, there were already more than 140 pieces.
“Such an amount of beast blood essence will definitely allow Fellow Daoist Shen to understand the level of scale armor!”
Yin Ting was also very happy.
Shen Ping smiled and said, "It's not enough. It's not enough for me to enter the scale armor level alone."
Yin Ting was moved in her heart. This was the essence of animal blood. Let alone a Taoist couple, even clansmen with blood ties would have conflicts, but Shen Ping kept thinking of her.
“We’ve almost explored this branch area, let’s go back to the main passage.”
?In the recent past.
? He ??and Yin Ting encountered many teams of geniuses from various races, and they were becoming more and more frequent. Even if they avoided them in advance, sometimes it was too late. And since the harvest this time was not small, there was no point in staying here to explore.
Yin Ting nodded.
?The two of them did not stop, but returned directly along a branch passage towards the main passage.
However, just as they left the edge of the branch area, the cave wall of the branch suddenly shone, and the range was more than a thousand feet!
??Chichi~
?Almost instantly.
??The insects in the passage were overwhelming and spreading towards the position of the two people.
Shen Ping reacted very quickly, directly urging the top beast spirit treasure to display blood light, and at the same time took out hundreds of strange beast puppets to block the surroundings. At this moment, even half a breath delay would be of great help to the two of them.
Yin Ting also activated the higher beast spirit treasure.
?A period of time.
?The passage was filled with blood and long whips.
?The strange beast puppets were destroyed one by one, but the insects were still densely packed.
?“Quick, hide in the palace.”
Seeing this, Shen Ping took out a palace-like beast spirit treasure and asked Yin Ting to hide in it.
Yin Ting did not dare to hesitate at all and quickly entered the palace.
?The defense of palace animal spirit treasures is extremely strong, even insects need two breaths to completely engulf the palace.
?The Hunyuan Gun in Shen Ping's hand waved, and bursts of silver-white gun shadows mixed with blood completely enveloped it, forming a blood gun field, killing all the insects that flew over.
?After five breaths.
?The blood and gun shadow disappeared.
?His face showed a look of relief. The moment just now was too dangerous. If anything went wrong, he and Yin Ting would both perish here.
Yin Ting came out with fear in her eyes, "There is no animal blood essence in this passage, so why are there so many bugs?!"
