Chapter 30 Chapter 30 The Stone Tower
In front of you is the endless green grassland, the continuous green hills looming on the horizon like a dragon, the mountain wind is blowing powerfully, and the tall wormwood undulates like green wheat waves.I took a deep breath, the smell of grass filled my nostrils, Huaxin seemed to be quite satisfied with the environment here, and the strong vitality drove my heart to beat vigorously.
After the initial novelty, I suddenly thought, where should I go to find the Tripod God?If I can't find the tripod god, where do I have to go to get the spirit tripod?I am in this boundless grassland, the surrounding environment is almost the same, I am walking aimlessly.
Two days later, my firm belief began to waver.There is no sun, no moon, no stars here, so naturally there is no day and night, only endless grass and never-ending wind.
In the past two days, I will find a place to rest when I am tired, and find a comfortable place to sleep for a while when I am sleepy.I am not used to the absence of day and night, but fortunately, I have Xiaohu to calculate the time, so I can know exactly the passage of time.I was bored walking through the grassland.At the beginning, when I was resting, I was still worried that one or two ferocious predators would be ambushing in the thick grass, but I didn’t see anything in the past two days, not even a single grasshopper.
I sighed, grabbed the wine gourd and took a sip of wine, and sat down on a dry grass. I even hoped that a lion would suddenly jump out of the grass now. I was really confused by the never-changing scenery in front of me. Some aesthetic fatigue.
"Where should I go to find the Cauldron God?" I have already learned to talk to myself.
Before I finished speaking, suddenly a tall black figure came out of the grass, and I jumped up in fright.But when I saw clearly that it was not a beast but a person, I immediately became overjoyed. "Hi, hello." I greeted proactively.
"Hello." With joy in his eyes, he responded quickly.
I stretched out my hand and said, "My name is Lan Hu. I have been here for two days and have not found Tripod God, let alone a single person. I am really glad to see you today."
"So you are the little suzerain, little suzerain, and I am Gundam." The tall man standing in front of me had a solid figure and strong limbs, but he had a shy expression on his face.
I said happily, "Are you also a Huaxin Sect disciple?"
Gao Da scratched his head in embarrassment, and said in a muffled voice: "I used to be a disciple of Huaxin Sect. Later, the high priest, who is my current master, said that my physique is suitable for practicing alchemy. After the suzerain agreed, the high priest accepted I am an apprentice. But I have always respected the suzerain, in fact, I like planting flowers and plants very much." The shy burly man was explaining his apprenticeship.
But the most urgent task is to get out of this labyrinth-like grassland and find the tripod god as soon as possible.Although there are still five days left, it is better to find Tripod God as soon as possible to be on the safe side.
After he finished explaining, I said, "Gundam, do you know how to find the Cauldron God?"
He looked at me in surprise and said, "Why do we need the Cauldron God?" I said in amazement, "Didn't the Cauldron God give us the spirit cauldron? If we don't find the Cauldron God, where can we get the spirit cauldron?"
After listening to me, he smiled honestly and said: "Little suzerain, you must have never come in before. We don't need to find the tripod god, as long as we can find the divine beasts guarding the gate of the god, and after getting their approval, we can get the protection they guard." Lingding, this is a very simple matter."
It turned out that I misunderstood myself, but there seems to be no guardian animal here, and I haven't even seen an ordinary rabbit in these two days.But Gundam looks quite experienced, he seems to know.I asked him, "This is my first time entering here. I have never seen a beast, and I don't know where it is. Can you take me there?"
Gao Da readily agreed: "Of course." I looked at him with joy.But after he looked around, he said to me in a nonchalant manner: "Little Sect Master, I don't know where the divine beast is."
The corner of my mouth twitched and said, "Is this your first time coming in too?"
Gao Da said embarrassingly: "The little suzerain is right. But my brother came in before, and he told me that after entering the gate of God and coming out through a tunnel, you will see a nine-story stone tower standing on the grassland. Right in the stone pagoda, it only takes one to two days to walk under the stone pagoda."
Although I already know that there is no stone tower here from countless times of looking around, but Gao Da said it sincerely, and it really doesn't look like a lie.I frowned and looked around. There was nothing but grass.I said: "Are you sure there will be a stone tower here?"
Gao Da looked around blankly, scratched his head and said, "My brother probably wouldn't lie to me, but I have walked hundreds of miles in two days since I came here, but I didn't find the stone pagoda. It's really strange."
I was immediately disappointed. It seemed that I had no choice but to continue groping in the grassland. Fortunately, it was much better to be with someone than to be alone.Glancing at him, I said, "Let's look for it again."
Gao Da opened his mouth and smiled honestly, with a look of optimism.
In this way, the two of us walked on this grassland for another two days, and today is the fifth day.
In the morning, the sky was still pale.After a while, the sky gradually began to turn red. This is the first time we have seen the sky change in a few days.Gundam and I stopped, suddenly Gaoda pointed to the distance and said excitedly: "Look, little suzerain, the stone pagoda is over there."
"Ah, did you see the stone tower?" I excitedly looked in the direction that Gundam pointed, and sure enough, there was a dome-shaped stone tower not far away, about four miles away. This was probably Gundam's brother. The so-called guard tower where the beast lives.
We both ran towards the stone tower excitedly.It took more than four days just to find the stone pagoda. Now that we were excited to see the stone pagoda, we immediately started to fly across the grassland.
I summoned a well-recovered dog-wolf combination, and the abundant physical strength quickly spread throughout my body, and I flew across the grassland with one leap.Gundam threw off his two long legs and also quickly galloped beside me.
On the way to the stone tower, Gundam and I met three more people, so we walked together.After chatting for a while, I found out that these three people had the same experience as me and Gundam. They had been walking in the grassland in a daze for the past four days, and they didn't see the stone tower until just now.
The sky was covered with a pink sunset-like light curtain, and the temperature in the air began to rise gradually.I haven't been to the prairie, and I don't know if there will be such a strange change like the prairie here, but I always feel that the red glow is a bit weird.
However, the stone pagoda was in front of them, and everyone rushed excitedly, and few people paid attention to the changes of the weather.It was the first time I entered Shenmen, and I didn't know whether the weather was normal, so I stopped thinking about the weather and rushed to the stone pagoda with a few people.
We were all very fast, and it didn't take long for a stone tower standing tens of meters high to appear clearly in front of us.The first floor of the stone tower covers an area of about five or six hundred square meters. The body of the tower is made of huge white stones the size of a millstone. The whole tower looks majestic and solemn.
Gao Da excitedly said to me: "Little suzerain, this is here. We just need to go in and refine the alchemy, and if we attract the Rabbit King of any floor, we will get a few turns of the spirit tripod."
I thought to myself that this method is also simple, and the possibility of cheating is also ruled out.Although I am currently practicing Huaxin Technique, Uncle Bei said that it is no problem to refine the first-rank and second-rank panacea.I suddenly thought about the time issue again, and said: "There are still more than two days left. I have enough time to refine the first-revolution pill, but I am afraid that I don't have enough time to refine the third-revolution pill."
Gao Da said: "Little suzerain, the time for refining any pill here is one day, and the time for refining high-level pills will be automatically concentrated. What kind of medicinal materials you want, just tell the rabbit here, and they can provide you. But here Refined pills cannot be taken out.”
I nodded.Due to time constraints, several people blessed each other and went separately.The more you refine the high transfer pill, the less you can guarantee one success. Now there are only two more days left, and you can only refine it twice at most, so everyone hastily left.
Only I stayed on the first floor, and everyone else went to the upper floor of the stone tower.
In the middle hall of the first floor stands a rabbit-shaped sculpture wearing a crown, about two meters high, as if carved from jade, with a warm body and delicate texture.There are several small rooms next to the hall, one of which is a medicinal herb room, and the others are alchemy rooms, enough for more than 20 people to make alchemy together.
I didn't dare to read more, because I was running out of time, and I had to make pills twice.
I walked into the herb room with a few steps, and there were more than a dozen medicine shelves standing horizontally in the room, and each medicine shelf was filled with various herbs.I took a few steps, and looking around, the medicine rack was beyond sight, and the length greatly exceeded the scope of the tower.But considering that this is the world of the Tripod God, there must be something mysterious about the space of this tower.
There are so many medicinal materials, if I want to find the medicinal materials I need, I don't know how long it will take.When I was wandering, I suddenly felt that something was caught on the bottom of my trousers. I looked down and saw a snow-white rabbit with two bright red eyes looking at me.
Thinking of Gao Da's words, I knelt down and looked at the little white rabbit and said, "I need a hundred kinds of pollen, ten kinds of berry juice, two sticks of Shizhi, a piece of century-old ginseng, and some Yaowang jujube."
This is the medicinal material of "Hua Feng Dan".The little white rabbit turned around and ran into the depths of the medicine rack. I waited for a while, and a dozen rabbits came one after another, with the medicinal materials I needed in their mouths.
I packed all the herbs in the medicine basket on the side, and walked into an alchemy room.The next day is for alchemy, and I am too familiar with the refining of Yizhuan Dan. I carefully prepared pollen and berry juice, and after 24 hours, Yizhuan "Huafeng Pill" was successfully released.
More than 100 pieces of "Huafeng Dan" came out of the oven smoothly, with a lingering fragrance, crystal clear and slightly waxy yellow, and looked very good.I took out more than one hundred pills and walked back to the hall. Attracted by the fragrance of the pills, twenty or thirty little rabbits jumped out of each room one after another and surrounded me.
I searched for the King Rabbit in the group of rabbits, and suddenly a rabbit whose body was nearly twice the size of the other rabbits came out from the group of rabbits, making way for the group of rabbits, this must be the King Rabbit.But what surprised me was that when I was about to hand over the "Flower Bee Pill" to it, suddenly a black little rabbit carved in pink and jade appeared behind the big rabbit.
I couldn't help laughing, I didn't expect the Rabbit King to have a follower with him.The little black rabbit, which was crystal clear like jade, bowed profusely, and squatted in front of me, looking up at me innocently with two small ruby-like eyes.
I squatted down and put the "Flower Bee Pill" in my hand.The little black rabbit moved closer and moved its nose a few times. I felt a heat in my palm, and two grains of "Flower Bee Pill" were drawn into my mouth, and my mouth wriggled slightly.Looking at its satin-like fur, I really like it in my heart, and I stretch out my hand to stroke it.Suddenly a dark light flashed, the little black rabbit turned into nothingness, and a small tripod slowly floated in front of me.
The body of the tripod is no more than the size of a palm, and its pink-gold metal texture constantly emits a soft luster.There are countless patterns carved on the body of the tripod, some are like fire, some are like clouds, some are like wind, and some are like flowers. Various patterns blend with each other to depict countless groups of rabbits. The little rabbit stands among them like a king.
A name suddenly appeared in my mind - "Black Rabbit Wang Ding", this is its name.I muttered a few words out of my mouth, "Black Rabbit Wang Ding" fell into my hand from the air, I looked at it stupidly, and said in my heart: "This is my tripod."
After waking up after a while, I distributed the remaining "Flower Bee Pill" to all the little rabbits to eat.Gao Da said that the pills refined here cannot be taken out, so it is better to distribute them to these greedy little rabbits.I also ate one to replenish my strength, and the hall was filled with fragrance for a while.
After taking "Huafeng Dan", I began to meditate to recover my energy.Four hours later, I entered the herb room again. This time, there were many cute little rabbits around my feet.
This time I refined "Vital Energy Pill", which is an upgraded version of Golden Pill, which can greatly restore people's physical strength and enhance the energy of ordinary people.For people with advanced cultivation, "Yuanqi Pill" is of little use, and can be taken during meditation to speed up the recovery of physical strength.
I announced the name of the medicinal herb, and the little rabbits scattered and jumped into the medicine rack.
I waited aside with the medicine basket, and soon the little rabbits ran back with herbs in their mouths, and obediently threw the herbs into the medicine basket.
I did the same, and after 24 hours, the "Vital Qi Pill" was successfully refined.In the expectant eyes of many little rabbits, I came to the hall with the "Vitality Pill".
But to my surprise, the rabbit king that appeared this time was not the little black rabbit before, but a snow-white rabbit king mixed with golden fluff, also small and exquisite.In the end, it turned into a small tripod as delicate as silverware, but the patterns on the tripod body were not much different. A platinum rabbit king totem stood on the front of the tripod as a symbol.
The remaining time is not enough to refine the alchemy again, but the seven days are not over, and I can't return to my own world from here, so I turned around in the tower out of boredom.Afraid of disturbing the people who were still making alchemy on the upper floors, I walked around the first floor of the tower.
I didn't pay attention when I first came in, but now I realize that there are not only stone pillars, stone tables, and stone chairs in the hall, but exquisite images are carved on the ceiling and walls of the hall, with simple patterns and vivid characters.Looking at all the wall sculptures together, it seems to be a complete story.
After I read all the murals with great interest, I realized why there were two completely different Rabbit Kings before.The appearance of the Rabbit King is related to the alchemy.
The Rabbit King sculpture in the middle of the hall is the center of the entire stone pagoda, and every Rabbit King, that is, a spirit tripod, is born from here.According to the attributes of the pills, different rabbit kings and tripods have different attributes, but the difference between the first turn of the spirit tripod is not very big.
I suddenly found a diary-like thing on the wall of the herb room, and walked over curiously, it turned out to be the herbal formula of many elixirs.I gladly recorded nearly ten pages of formulas of dozens of pills in Xiaohu's database, and at the same time, I also wrote down the formulas of the two first-turn pills I refined in the diary for future study by those who come in.
After recording all the elixir formulas on the first floor of the stone pagoda, I guessed that the second, third, and fourth floors would also have many elixir formulas left by the pioneers who had come in like this floor.It would be a pity if we only stayed here, no matter how miraculous the pills are, they must serve mankind, so I decided to use the remaining time to record more recipes for the pills.
I lifted my legs and walked to the second floor.Just halfway up the spiral stone staircase, there was a shrill cry from outside the stone tower, and a fiery red figure quickly flashed past the window of the stone tower.
Just when I was thinking for two seconds, the stone tower suddenly shook violently, and it lasted for several seconds before the fluctuation spread to the distance.I stopped hesitantly, and the screams outside the window gradually became more intense.After a while, another huge fluctuation came from the ground, as if the ground was trembling, and the stone tower shook violently again.
The situation was not right, it seemed that something dangerous was about to happen, and I immediately became alert.It would be an exaggeration to say that this is a sign that the seven days will be over and we will be transported back to the original world.
I heard footsteps coming from the upper floors, and suddenly a red shadow rushed towards me through the windows of the stone tower like lightning.I quickly dodged to the side, the red shadow flitted across my chest, and the fiery vigor set my clothes on fire like a flame.
I turned my head to look at the red shadow, and a few more red shadows passed through the other windows of the tower like lightning, and the shrill screams like crows were rippling in the air, making one's hair stand on end.
A scorching smell soon came from the lobby on the first floor, and I was taken aback. I was about to jump down the stairs to the lobby on the first floor to see what was going on, when a fiery red bird suddenly stopped on the window and looked at me with its head tilted.
I also looked at it in amazement.Its fiery red feathers are long and soft, undulating in the wind like flames jumping up and down, its eyes are very curious, like a child, its claws are very powerful, and it is holding on to the window tightly. It doesn't look vicious.
I thought to myself that the few red shadows just now were probably all this kind of bird.We looked at each other for only a few seconds, when its eyes suddenly shot a fierce light, kicked its claws, and its body flew towards me like an arrow.
Seeing it showing such a fierce posture, how could I think it was benevolent, so I quickly backed away, and in the blink of an eye, I felt a burning pain in my shoulder.
What a powerful fire bird, I am amazed in my heart, this bird that suddenly appeared has a strong flame power, just now it grabbed my shoulder with a violent blow, and the clothes where it touched immediately turned to ashes, At the same time, a pair of scratch marks were left on the shoulder, the flesh was torn, and the flames were constantly destroying the tissues under the flesh.Fortunately, Xiaohu responded immediately the moment I was injured, mobilizing the dark energy around me to extinguish the flames and repair the injured parts.
I stared angrily at the firebird that was attacking me again, and immediately adjusted my state to dodge to avoid its attack.I stretched out my hand to grab it, and condensed a lightsaber powered by Huaxin. I jumped up and rushed to the back of the fire bird like flying, and the sword glow flashed down.
Unexpectedly, the Firebird was very flexible. It sensed the danger behind it, let out a shrill cry, and immediately turned to avoid my attack.More than a dozen flaming feathers fell on the stone ladder, and as soon as they touched the stone ladder, they turned into flames and burned.
Looking at this weird scene, I quickly mobilized the information in Xiaohu's database to search in my mind.The final result surprised me very much. The fire bird has 90% similarity with the statue enshrined in the temple of Huaxin Sect.The beast enshrined by the Huaxin Sect is the guardian of the Cauldron God, but why did it appear here, and even attack me actively, is it to train the disciples who came here?But no one had ever told me this would happen before.
Firebird's attack is very vicious. If it is accidentally caught in an important part, the consequences will be very serious. Such an extremely dangerous incident will not be notified in advance. Could something have happened?
A series of conjectures were soon interrupted by Firebird's attack.The firebird screamed "quack" and rushed towards me again, with its beak closed tightly and flames jumping all over its body, it seemed that it wanted to pass through my chest.
When it was one meter away from my chest, death also fell on its head.You must know that since I have the beast Falcon, especially after being able to fuse with it, I have a deep understanding of the flight trajectory of birds.
So after watching the Firebird fly a few times, and with the help of Xiaohu's precise deduction, I grasped the flight trajectory of the Firebird almost immediately, and the lightsaber suddenly crossed from an angle.The Firebird tried its best to dodge but could no longer dodge the sword, and the lightsaber cut through its body in an instant.
"Bang!" A muffled sound, like setting off fireworks, immediately burst into flames in the air.
At this moment, there were also shouts from the tower, and I immediately guessed that there were also firebirds intruding on the upper floors.I didn't pay attention to the battle situation on the upper floors of the tower. After killing the firebird, I swept to the hall on the first floor like a whirlwind. The tragic scene made me burn with anger.
