Chapter 215: Super Long Tunnel
There is a small five-element maze formation outside to protect him. He can't find Lin Changqing and can only contact Lin Changqing through the contract.
Lin Changqing cast a spell, created a hole in the magic circle, and let the ball of fur in. Unexpectedly, as soon as it came in, it jumped up and down, extremely excited.
Through the contract, it told Lin Changqing that it had found a lot of spiritual objects, but there were several powerful monsters there. It was very scared and didn't dare to get close, so it asked Lin Changqing to go and take a look.
Lin Changqing was speechless. It was late at night and the activities of monsters outside were becoming more frequent. It was pitch dark and it was not suitable for going out.
I could only tell it to go back after daybreak, as the thing was there and couldn't escape. I also described to it what kind of monster it was.
The ball of fur was presented to Lin Changqing. It had a long body and many scales on it. Lin Changqing's first reaction was that it was a snake monster.
This speculation is well-founded. The fur ball is a rodent. Its natural enemies are not only birds of prey, but also snakes. That's why the fur ball dares to approach.
Since it was suspected to be a snake demon, Lin Changqing would not go there at night. It would be safer to wait until daybreak to take a look.
After making up his mind, he threw the ball of fur into the spirit beast bracelet to avoid being disturbed by the noise and having no time to rest.
Early the next morning, Lin Changqing completed his training.
He summoned back the group of amethyst scorpions that had been guarding Lin Changqing last night and put them into the spirit beast bracelet.
By the way, I gave them a lot of chopped monster meat and a portion of ice crystals for them to chew slowly.
Of course, the food on the second day of the Chinese New Year also consists of monster meat, with an added soul-nourishing pill. The first day of the Chinese New Year is with Zhao Liyu and the others, so it has to find a way to solve the problem itself.
After feeding the spirit pet, he put away the maze formation, scanned it with his spiritual sense, and after confirming that nothing was missed, he released the fur ball.
I threw a soul-nourishing pill to it, and then let it lead the way to the place where it discovered the spiritual object yesterday.
Maoqiu swallowed the pill whole and finished it in just a few bites. Then, he squeaked twice at Lin Changqing.
Then he started to lead the way. When he saw the direction, Lin Changqing couldn't help but frowned.
Lin Changqing was about to leave the outskirts of Qingyun Mountains and return to Tongshan Village in Nanhe County. He was about to head west, but Maoqiu was actually taking him southeast.
This means that the time for leaving Qingyun Mountains and meeting up with Zhao Liyu will be delayed again.
But after thinking about it, he still followed over. He wanted to see what kind of spiritual object Maoqiu had found for him.
If Maoqiu dares to use any random things to trick him, he will be in trouble.
Unexpectedly, this walk would take more than an hour, and finally we stopped at the bottom of a small valley.
Looking at the small hole in front of him, it was only as high as Lin Changqing's thigh at most. If he wanted to go in, he had to crawl in.
Lin Changqing has already explored it with his spiritual sense. A hundred feet diagonally downward, the cave is almost the same.
Now he was hesitating whether or not to go down and take a look, because the current limit of his spiritual sense was only a hundred feet.
He had no way of estimating how far the tunnel went down. If he encountered danger in this kind of terrain, he would be in a very passive position.
The worst thing is this place is full of rocks, and earth-walking magic cannot be used here.
There was no other way but to call Maoqiu back and ask it how long the tunnel was. Based on the information it conveyed, Lin Changqing guessed that it was at least three or four miles long.
This really made his scalp tingle, and in the end he had no choice but to release thirty-six purple crystal scorpions to fight in the front, and then he followed behind. And he used his spiritual sense to the full, fearing a surprise attack, and passed through the several-mile long, winding tunnel with trepidation.
Going down to about the middle, a fork began to appear. Lin Changqing quickly marked the direction he came from to avoid getting lost.
After following the ball of fur all the way to the bottom, we saw a different scene.
The space below was obviously much wider. At least Lin Changqing could stand up straight. It was really awkward to always lie down.
This place is quite similar to the red copper cave that I saw at that time, and the corridor inside.
However, the walls of the cave were covered with claw marks that were nearly a foot long, which made Lin Changqing have a different guess from last night.
Continuing to follow the fur ball, they advanced another two or three miles. Finally, it stopped and looked at Lin Changqing. It pointed its little paws at the open road ahead and was very smart not to make any sound.
Lin Changqing nodded at it, then put it into the spirit beast bracelet. Judging from its performance, there must be monsters in the vast road, so it would be safer to put it in the spirit beast bracelet first, in case it is affected by the battle later.
The spiritual sense probed inside little by little, and finally saw five bright yellow pangolins, no, they should be called ground armor beasts, two big and three small, obviously a family.
The two big ones are about 12 or 13 feet long. Judging from the spiritual pressure they emit, they are now at the peak of the late first stage. The small one is one-third of their parents' length, and has the cultivation level of the initial first stage.
All five of them are covered with bright yellow hard scales, except for their mouths and abdomens, which are covered with a layer of fine light yellow scales. They do not look as defensive as the hard scales on their bodies.
Overall it looks pretty and majestic, with strong and powerful limbs and claws. Two large ground armored beasts are now scraping the loess crystals on the cave wall. Yes, it is loess crystals.
Lin Changqing had bought this in Red Leaf Fortress. This was a first-grade, mid-quality spirit crystal, worth fifty spirit stones.
The two big ground beetles had dug up a large pile of Huang Shijing, which had already accumulated into a pile and was being eaten by the three small ground beetles.
Lin Changqing really liked it more and more the more he looked at it. This was an Earth Armor Beast, a spirit beast of the gold, earth and blue elements, a natural miner, and its claws could dig into the rocks like mud.
They are the experts in earth escape techniques. The earth escape techniques of the Spirit-seeking Rats are far inferior to theirs. Moreover, their combat capability is also strong. They can use ground spike techniques, earth wall techniques, thick earth shields, and so on. In addition, they are covered in thick armor, making them very difficult to deal with.
But now the five earth beasts are all in this open passage, surrounded by rocks. They can't run away, at least the three small earth beasts certainly can't run away.
However, Lin Changqing was interested in the two big ones, and the three small ground armor beasts were just incidental.
If you want to capture them alive, you must use the Amethyst Scorpion. There is a corresponding Amethyst Scorpion for each Earth Armor Beast.
Because having too many of them would be useless. When their bodies are hurt, they will immediately curl up into a ball and wrap themselves in thick scales, so you only have one chance to attack.
After all five amethyst scorpions arrived at the appropriate position, Lin Changqing had an idea and the five amethyst scorpions attacked at the same time.
Then five shrill screams like a baby crying rang out almost at the same time. The sound sounded very special and made people feel creepy.
The five ground armor beasts curled up into five balls, with all their scales standing up, but you could still see they were trembling.
Before long, the three small ground armor beasts were no longer able to maintain their curled-up state and unconsciously relaxed.
Lin Changqing hurried over to check and found that the three little ones were all alive. He felt relieved and after thinking about it, he decided to put the three little guys into the spirit beast bracelet.
Lin Changqing didn't dare to get close to the two big ones. They were about 12 or 13 feet long, and the ground armor beasts were also powerful monsters. Lin Changqing couldn't withstand a collision.
