Chapter 94: Ruyi
Monster cave.
The snake demon and the scorpion demon stared at the scene in the magic mirror in a daze, their eyes popping out of their sockets in shock.
The magic mirror can only see images, not hear sounds.
But it doesn't prevent them from seeing clearly what happened.
The Calabash Brothers who had suppressed them under Calabash Mountain for nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years, causing them to suffer countless hardships and almost lose their souls, have appeared again!
What’s more, there is a new god who !
Isn't this going to cost them their lives?
After a long while, the Scorpion Spirit came back to his senses and said tremblingly, "Madam, let's escape quickly before those gourd kids grow up!"
“No way!” Seeing the Scorpion Demon’s puzzled expression, the Snake Demon explained, “My lord, you know that the Orange Gourd has the power of clairvoyance and super hearing. Where can we escape to? Sooner or later, they will catch up with us!”
"Then what should we do?" The Scorpion Demon looked bitter and paced back and forth.
"It is better to strike first." The snake demon's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he gritted his teeth and said, "We must find a way to get rid of those gourd kids before they grow up! At least, we must get rid of the orange gourd!"
"Then I'll listen to my wife!" The Scorpion Demon gritted his teeth and said viciously, "I'll go and reorganize the troops and dig up the gourd vine tonight!"
The snake demon stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, please be patient. When we escaped from Hulu Mountain, we got four treasures in total. The Ruyi, the Magic Mirror, and the Yin-Yang Sword are with us, and the Treasure Bag is with my sister."
"Now that the Calabash Brothers have reappeared, they have also found a more powerful god to help them. We have also sent someone to invite my sister over to use her treasure bag to deal with that god."
The Scorpion Spirit nodded repeatedly and said, "Madam, what you said makes sense. I will send someone to invite my sister over right away."
The snake demon said, "My king, this matter is of great importance. I'd better go there myself. You gather the troops here, and when I come back, we will go out immediately and pull out the roots of the gourd vine!"
After the snake demon finished speaking, it turned into a gust of evil wind and left the cave. Soon it arrived outside the Green Snake Cave.
"Madam." The toad spirit guarding the gate recognized the snake spirit, and hurriedly opened the door and led the snake spirit inside.
Going down the tunnel, there are not only various mechanisms and traps, but also a monster guarding each level of the tunnel.
Black eats black, spider monster, multi-faceted monster, king of reaching out, beautiful monster, king of steel teeth...
The snake demon looked at her with envy.
Although the Green Snake only got a treasure bag at the beginning, this precious bag has the effect of hiding and refining treasures. These monsters were all refined by Qingshe himself.
After passing through seven layers of tunnels, a green snake that looked like a snake demon with a green tail appeared. It held a brocade bag in both hands and kept spinning and shaking in front of it, muttering: "Change!"
The brocade bag flew into the air, emitting thousands of rays of light.
A palm-sized doll with a bird's head and a human face flew out of the brocade bag, and grew in the wind as if it were inflated.
When it landed, it was already more than ten meters high, huge and ferocious, and the entire body seemed to be made of diamond. Just looking at it gave people a feeling of incomparable solidity.
The green snake nodded with satisfaction: "From now on, you will be called King Kong, responsible for guarding the seventh level."
"Yes, my king." With every step King Kong took, the ground seemed to tremble.
"Sister, this treasure bag is really powerful!" The snake demon walked forward with a smile.
Green Snake was a little surprised: "Sister, why are you free to come to my place today?"
The snake spirit said, "I have something good to tell my sister."
Green Snake asked: "What good news?"
The snake demon took out the Ruyi, chanted a spell silently, and blew gently. A gust of cold wind blew past, and a block of ice formed in front of him.
Images of Calabash Brothers, Li Anran, the old man and the pangolin appeared on the ice.
The green snake was greatly surprised and cried out, "Calabash Brothers?! How is this possible! Why are they here again!"
"Don't panic, sister."
The snake demon soothed him, "We were no match for these seven gourd brothers back then, but things are different now. You and I both have magic weapons from Gourd Mountain, which are extremely powerful. If we can capture these seven gourd brothers and refine them into the Seven Heart Pill, we can live forever and stay young forever."
The green snake calmed down after hearing this: "Sister, how many of these Seven Heart Pills can you make?"
The snake demon said, "I have never refined it before, so how can I know how many I can make? But don't worry, I can promise you that if you can only refine one, it will be yours. How about that?"
The green snake said suspiciously, "Sister is so kind to me, but I feel scared."
The snake spirit said sincerely, "To be honest, if it were just these few tender gourds, I would have enjoyed them all by myself. But this time is different."
Pointing at Li Anran's silhouette in the ice, he said, "This man seems to be a deity from heaven, much more powerful than the Calabash Brothers. I'm really not sure I can handle him, so I'm asking my sister to help me."
The green snake then noticed Li Anran, whose half figure was exposed. Judging from his appearance, he was indeed tall, mighty, dazzling, and extremely similar to the legendary god.
The snake demon said again: "Sister, whether you believe it or not, the Calabash Brothers have appeared. They will not let your brother-in-law and I go. Will they let you go?"
This sentence directly hit the green snake's vital point.
She no longer hesitated and nodded in agreement: "Sister is right, we sisters should deal with these gourd dolls first and then talk about other things."
The snake demon was overjoyed: "Sister, this should be done as soon as possible. We should take action as soon as possible while these gourd babies are still not mature, and eliminate them completely, so as to avoid more trouble at night."
"good."
The Green Snake gathered the men and went to the Snake Demon's cave to join up with the Scorpion Demon's troops first, and then charged towards the Calabash Brothers in a mighty force.
The monsters were gathering their strength, and Li Anran was not idle either.
"This is the Heavenly Thunder Talisman. If you encounter a monster, just throw it away."
"This is a protective jade pendant. If you carry it with you, it will automatically activate when you encounter danger."
"This is the Heavenly Master's robe. When you wear it, ordinary swords and knives will not be able to hurt you."
…
The additional rewards of the Book of Punishment are random.
Some are useful, some are just useless.
For example, this Heavenly Thunder Talisman is less than one percent as powerful as Li Anran’s Purple Sky Divine Thunder.
It is of no use to Li Anran, but it is more than enough to deal with ordinary little monsters.
The key is that you don’t need to consume any mana, just twist the spell and throw it out.
The same is true for the protective jade pendant and the Taoist robe.
The defense they can provide is not even a drop in the bucket for Li Anran, who has practiced the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong.
However, it is also enough to withstand attacks from ordinary weapons.
Li Anran directly cleared out all the goods and threw them all to the old man and Pangolin, arming them to the teeth.
Then, they began to set up formations around.
Ziwei Xingdou Great Array, Fiery Array, Five Thunder Chaos Array, Tiangang Array, Three Talents Array...
Yang Jian only said that there would be a great opportunity on this trip, but he did not say where the opportunity would lie.
Li Anran naturally has to work hard to show his strengths.
He was planning to ask Zhen Yuanzi for some advice on his formation, and his fingers kept drawing, one formation after another, filling every corner of the mountain.
Zhen Yuanzi in the void was indeed stunned and somewhat surprised at Li Anran's talent.
Others are greedy and cannot digest too much, but the prison god in front of him is not only proficient in so many spells, but also in so many formations!
Guanyin noticed the change in Zhen Yuanzi's expression and asked, "Great Immortal Zhen Yuan, what happened to Daoist Fellow Hong Yun? If you need my Lingshan in any way, just ask and I will definitely help you with all my strength."
Zhen Yuanzi shook his head and said, "It's not a bad thing, but a good thing. It's just a little beyond my expectations."
Although Li Anran is just a bonus , the stronger his strength and talent are, the better it will be for Patriarch Hongyun.
But, on the other hand, the stronger and more talented the person who is destined to have the calamity, the more deeply he is entangled in cause and effect, and the heavier the calamity will be.
Zhen Yuanzi was reminded of Jin Chanzi, Sun Wukong and Yang Jian.
The identities of these four people who are destined to have the calamity are very different, but the talents they display are more terrifying than the next!
Zhen Yuanzi had a vague premonition that the scale of this catastrophe would probably not be weaker than the Conferred God Catastrophe, and it might even be worse, affecting all living beings in the three realms.
"I don't know how many lives will be lost this time!"
Zhen Yuanzi sighed in his heart, but he was planning to go to the Jinguan Cave in Qianyuan Mountain in person after the matter with Patriarch Hongyun was settled, to act as a lobbyist for Lingshan.
"This time, the catastrophe will most likely happen between Xuanmen and Lingshan, and will happen to Sun Wukong, Jin Chanzi, Yang Jian, and Li Anran!"
"If Taoist Taiyi can agree to Tathagata's conditions and confine the catastrophe to Xiniu Hezhou, perhaps fewer lives will be lost!"
Boom boom boom——
Bursts of thunder suddenly interrupted Zhen Yuanzi's thoughts.
Look down.
The snake sisters and the scorpion demon had their monsters surround the mountain where Li Anran and the others were, and began to attack upwards.
When the last monster walked into the range of the formation, all the formations were activated at the same time.
In an instant, thunderclouds gathered, winds howled, countless lightning snakes roamed in the clouds, and then turned into thunder as thick as basins and struck down.
Before the bat spirits could react to what was happening, they were chopped into pieces of charcoal.
The other monsters were instantly furious.
They had not received much training in the first place and could not even stand in a row. They were terrified and immediately scattered and ran around.
call!
Gusts of black wind were howling, and cold light could be faintly seen in the wind, which were all weapons such as swords, spears, and halberds.
Wherever he passed, dozens of monsters along with the weapons in their hands were instantly chopped into pieces, without even having time to utter a scream.
boom!
Huge pillars of fire two meters thick burst out from the ground, rotating and moving rapidly within the range of the formation.
In an instant, dozens of monsters were devoured, and the aroma of meat filled the air.
Then, there was golden light, mud, water, ice, arsenopyrite, and hallucinations...
Most of these monsters in Hulu Mountain are little monsters that have not yet transformed, and their strength is only slightly stronger than that of ordinary people.
Those pioneers and leaders, such as the centipede spirit, toad spirit, spider spirit, and crocodile spirit, have reached the stage of refining the spirit and returning to the void, which is similar to Li Anran before he ascended to heaven!
Faced with these formations, there was no power to resist at all.
In just a moment, most of them were killed or injured!
The snake demon and the scorpion demon were also trapped in the black wind formation.
Seeing the little demon being torn into pieces by the black wind, the Scorpion Demon was terrified and shouted loudly: "Madam, save me!"
Li Anran stood on the top of the mountain, looking down at everything. He felt like he was using a cannon to shoot a fly.
If these monsters were just like this, they probably wouldn't even be able to pass through the formation, let alone see the Calabash Brothers!
Before Li Anran finished thinking, he saw the snake demon take out a pure gold Ruyi with a round emerald green jade inlaid in the middle from his arms, and hurriedly chanted: "Ruyi, Ruyi, follow my heart, and show your power quickly!"
Blow out in one breath.
call--
A cold wind whistled towards the black wind in the black wind formation.
Then.
Heifeng was frozen!
That’s right!
It's frozen!
In the ice, one can clearly see the outline of Black Wind and the swords, spears, and halberds in the wind.
Li Anran was also stunned.
He knew that Ruyi was the snake demon's most powerful magic weapon, so it was not surprising that it could withstand the black wind formation.
However, he didn't expect that this method of resistance was so strange that it could actually freeze the wind!
"As you wish, as my wish goes, please show up soon!"
"As you wish, as my wish goes, please show up soon!"
…
The snake demon chanted the spell over and over again, but there was no sign of any magical power emanating from it. It just blew a breath at Ruyi in a normal manner.
This breath turned into a whistling cold wind!
Mud, water, thunder and even fire!
Wherever the cold wind passes, everything is frozen in ice, maintaining the state of the previous moment!
The formation was also broken.
Li Anran was shocked.
Such means are no longer magic, but the use of the power of rules!
This Ruyi is actually an innate spiritual treasure!
On the other side, the green snake was not to be outdone. It took out a treasure bag from its arms and began to save itself.
If the snake demon's Ruyi is simple and crude, then this treasure bag takes adaptability to the extreme!
Facing the golden light, a mirror flew out of it and directly reflected the golden light to another formation filled with poisonous fog, using the force to break the poisonous fog formation.
Facing the water flow, a wooden basin flew out from it. It looked about the same size as an ordinary wooden basin, but its capacity seemed endless. It sucked up all the water flow and then used it to extinguish another fire array.
There are countless examples of this.
The treasures inside it seem endless and can be used for various situations.
But in just a few moments, he broke more than a dozen formations and gathered the remaining little monsters around him.
"Isn't this another innate spiritual treasure?"
Li Anran's eyes twitched, and he finally understood why the Calabash Mountain God asked him to join forces with the Calabash Brothers!
In terms of strength, these two snake demons and scorpion demons may be just ordinary, but when combined with the two innate spiritual treasures, Ruyi and Baibao Jinnang, it is hard to say!
When facing a magic weapon that you don't understand at all, it's not too common to fail miserably!
This is also the reason why the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Orthodox Sect recruited their disciples as cannon fodder during the catastrophe of Conferred Gods!
Fortunately, Li Anran knew how to deal with them.
Especially that Ruyi!
