Volume 7: The Strongest Four Realms Chapter 18 Mountain Ghost
Lu Qingshan, who had originally wanted to retreat because of the appearance of these strange green vines, now fell into deep thought again.
Although the green vine no longer appeared, he knew very well that the strange existence here did not disappear, but was just lurking temporarily.
But he has come this far, how could he be willing to give up if he didn't go all the way?
To retreat when faced with difficulties is the choice of most people, but not Lu Qingshan.
His habit is to face challenges head-on.
It was this kind of character that made him a top player in his previous life.
Lu Qingshan didn't stop and headed cautiously into the depths of the canyon.
The rest of the journey was smoother than expected.
Although the power of thunder was steadily increasing, there were no more sudden riots. The green vine that he had to be careful to deal with also completely disappeared.
After a long time, Lu Qingshan stopped, his eyes flashed with brilliance, and he stared straight ahead.
There, a huge ball of lightning was condensed, and it was actually a field of thunder.
And in the thunder domain, there is a small tree about the height of a palm, rooted in the lightning, with arcs of lightning swirling around it, emitting endless thunder and rich vitality.
The trunk of the small tree is as winding as a dragon and very vigorous.
On the top of the curved trunk, there hung a deep purple fruit, crystal clear, surrounded by a rosy glow, indescribably magical, and at this moment it looked like it was about to fall.
Thunder fruit!
He really found the thunder fruit that would bring about the bloody disaster in Mogao.
In sixteen years, the thunder fruit will be ripe.
At this time, the Thunder Fruit was already in sight.
But there is a layer of lightning in between.
In the thunder domain, the lightning was so strong that it was far beyond the lightning strikes that Lu Qingshan had encountered before.
Lu Qingshan thought about it, and a small jade bottle appeared in his hand.
He tilted the jade bottle, and all the brown-yellow pills the size of longan rolled into his palm.
The fourth-grade elixir, Blood Rock Pill.
Lu Qingshan swallowed the five pills in his palm, and a strong energy quickly flowed through his body along his meridians.
Crack, crack, crack.
His body trembled slightly.
The energy of the elixir gushed out from all the pores on his body and instantly solidified into a layer of brown solid, like a layer of rock skin or a stratum corneum, protecting him tightly inside.
The energy in the Blood Rock Pill is constantly being consumed, and under normal circumstances it can last about half an hour.
However, if he wanted to resist this thunder bombardment, the rate of energy consumption would double, and he also didn't know how long it would last.
"Hurry up."
With the protection of the Blood Rock Pill, Lu Qingshan stared at the Thunder Fruit not far away. He gritted his teeth, and with a flash of his body, he rushed directly into the area of lightning that was like a sea of thunder.
At this moment, his dark eyes were filled with shining lightning.
Sizzle!
When Lu Qingshan broke in, the rolling thunder rushed towards him mercilessly, as if it was ready to blow the invader into pieces.
The lightning snake danced wildly and tumbled violently. As the electric arcs moved, the surrounding space showed some signs of distortion.
In just a moment, one of the lightning-proof devices he used to protect himself exploded under the fierce thunder.
Lu Qingshan didn't have time to feel sorry.
Because the power of this thunder has not yet stopped.
Boom boom boom!
Three more sounds of magic weapons exploding were heard in succession, and the fragments of the magic weapons were turned into fine powder in the thunder in a short time.
The ferocious lightning snake finally stopped before the Aoki spiritual light emitted by the Aoki Pearl.
Lu Qingshan looked at the thunder that was just staying on the surface of his body with a serious face, and his expression changed slightly.
But it has come to this point, and it is impossible for him to give up.
His body trembled slightly under the pressure of thunder, but the speed of his feet remained unchanged.
Qingmuzhu's Qingmu spiritual light blocked most of the power of thunder for him.
However, the thunder that was all-pervasive still managed to penetrate the Qingmu spiritual light and blast towards him.
Fortunately, Lu Qingshan still has one last layer of protection.
Blood rock formed by blood rock dan.
There were tiny electric lights flickering on the surface of Lu Qingshan's body, but they could not penetrate.
Even so, after two layers of filtering, Lu Qingshan still felt a slight numbness from the thunder.
The power of thunder can be imagined.
He was very fast, and he was not far from the Thunder Fruit Tree.
After three breaths, the Thunder Fruit was already within reach.
The Thunder Fruit is not yet ripe at this time. If it is picked prematurely, its spirituality will be lost by 30% to 40%.
But Lu Qingshan couldn't care less.
It will take another sixteen years for the Thunder Fruit to mature, and he can't wait that long.
He is not Master Han, and he does not have the Heavenly Bottle, so he cannot ripen the Thunder Fruit. Therefore, he can only waste 30% to 40% of the spirituality of the Thunder Fruit.
No matter what, what you get is yours. If you can't get it, what's the point of having more?
Looking at the raw thunder fruit shining with crystal purple light, Lu Qingshan gritted his teeth and picked it!
He stretched out his hand and grabbed the shaky dark purple spiritual fruit.
boom!
Endless power of thunder erupted from the thunder fruit.
The Thunder Fruit, as its name suggests, can produce infinite thunder.
That terrifying power shattered the Qingmuzhu that had taken countless attacks for him in just a moment.
The blood rock produced by the Blood Rock Pill was also undergoing a tremendous test.
Sizzle.
There was a sound like hot oil in a hot pan.
Thunder covered his entire body, causing the layer of blood rock to melt rapidly.
While it was melting, the rich energy of the Blood Rock Pill continued to surge out, repairing the melted blood rock, and the two suddenly fell into a stalemate.
But the thunder seems to be infinite, while the energy of the Blood Rock Pill is limited.
Lu Qingshan moved very quickly and with a little effort, he picked the raw thunder fruits and placed them in the jade box that had been prepared long ago to maintain the medicinal properties of the spiritual fruits. He then put the jade box into the storage ring and rushed out of the thunder domain without looking back.
Wow!
The thunder fruit tree seemed to have sensed Lu Qingshan's actions.
Suddenly, the thunder in the thunder domain rolled violently, and instantly fell into an even more violent state. The thunder gathered like a long river of lightning, rushing towards .
As the thunder domain rioted, the Blood Rock, which had been struggling to resist the bombardment of thunder, finally revealed a flaw.
The blood rock's repair speed could not keep up with the thunder's destruction speed, and it became riddled with holes. The thunder poured in through the cracks and bombarded Lu Qingshan's last layer of spiritual power barrier.
From the Dantian, powerful spiritual power surged out to resist the thunder attack.
The spiritual power cultivated by the Taoist techniques is of extremely high quality and can protect him for a while.
However, the paralyzing power attached to the thunder penetrated the spiritual barrier and acted directly on his body, causing his steps to stagger slightly.
"It's so terrifying." Lu Qingshan gritted his teeth and endured the feeling of numbness, and finally escaped from the thunder zone.
The paralyzing force slowly dissipated, and Lu Qingshan felt a little nervous. "If I hadn't been well prepared, I might have been caught in the process of picking the Thunder Fruit."
This time, he prepared six lightning-proof magic weapons, including the Qingmu Bead of medium-grade earth-grade weapon quality.
In addition, there was a bottle of fourth-grade Blood Rock Pill. In the end, he was able to escape only by relying on his own powerful spiritual power. It was indeed extremely dangerous.
Not to mention, he was attacked by the strange green vines on the way. If it weren't for his strong strength, he might not have seen the Thunder Fruit, let alone picked it.
"Fortunately, the result is good." Lu Qingshan murmured.
Although they were still in the Thunder God Pond, compared with the Thunder Domain where the Thunder Fruit Trees grew, the power of the thunder outside seemed insignificant.
The remaining medicinal power of the Blood Rock Pill was more than enough for him to escape.
The Thunder Fruit is obtained. This magical thing, even if it is immature, has amazing medicinal effects.
Once taken, not only will your cultivation be greatly improved and your life span be extended, but most importantly, you will be able to comprehend the true meaning of immortality through it.
Moreover, he had picked the Thunder Fruit early, so the Mogao blood disaster was naturally nipped in the bud.
Lu Qingshan felt extremely satisfied that he could not only gain benefits but also save so many fellow human beings.
Let’s get out of here first.
Lu Qingshan made up his mind.
Just at this moment.
Suddenly, the entire Leigong Pond was filled with rumbling thunder, and a dark mass gathered out like a dark cloud, forming a huge face.
The facial features of this face were not clear. Thunder echoed and lightning flashed all around, but the eyes were as sharp as lightning, staring at Lu Qingshan.
"You picked my fruit and you want to leave like this?"
The sound was like thunder, like the roar of heaven, exploding in all directions.
Lu Qingshan's heart trembled, but he was not too surprised. He looked at the face woven by lightning with cold eyes, "Are you the mastermind behind the attack on me earlier? Why don't you dare to reveal your true identity until now?"
"True identity?" The face snorted coldly, "Haven't you seen it before?"
"I've seen it before..." Lu Qingshan was stunned for a moment, then he thought about the words of the owner of the face, and suddenly reacted in a flash.
He turned his head, his pupils slightly shrank, and looked at the thunder fruit tree swaying in the thunder area.
"Your true form is this Thunder Fruit Tree?!"
"You are not stupid," the face sneered, "You picked the fruit I nurtured without my consent. Aren't you going to say something?"
Lu Qingshan looked a little ugly, with a sense of crisis in his heart, "What do you want?"
"Since you have already taken it from me, it will be useless to give it back to me, so I will just regard it as a gift to you." The facial features were blurred and the specific expression could not be seen, but the voice was very vicious. "As compensation, I will just take something from you!"
boom!
The moment the face and the voice fell, murderous intent flashed in Lu Qingshan's eyes. He raised his right hand slightly, and the Dragon Bird and Peach Blossom shot out.
He already sensed the malice in it.
It’s better to strike first!
The peach blossoms shot towards the face woven by thunder, while the dragon bird rushed towards the thunder fruit tree in the thunder domain.
"You were very decisive," the face sneered, "but it's a pity that they are just trifles."
The face made of thunder did not dodge or resist, allowing the peach blossom to pass through his face, breaking it and turning it into arcs of lightning that spread out.
However, the more powerful Dragon Bird was blocked by the thunder storm after entering the Thunder Domain and could not move forward.
“Dragon Breath!”
Lu Qingshan's heart moved, and the dragon breath of the dragon bird magical power burst out.
The whole place was filled with red light.
The dragon pattern on the dragon bird shone, flames burst out, and it directly transformed into a flaming dragon and pounced towards the palm- thunder fruit tree.
The dragon bird is buzzing.
The Thunder Fruit Tree was careless for a moment and did not expect that the Dragon Bird could burst out with such terrifying power, which actually allowed the Dragon Bird to break through the thunder barrier and directly hit his body.
In the flames, the palm-high thunder fruit tree was surrounded by layer of rays of light, flowing with brilliant light, confronting the dragon bird.
clang!
Finally, the dragon bird exhausted its strength and circled back.
The luster on the thunder fruit tree also dimmed a lot, and it was obviously not feeling well.
Lu Qingshan's face changed and his body fell backwards.
Even though Longque used all his magical powers, he was unable to do anything to the Thunder Fruit Tree, which showed that its strength was far beyond his imagination.
Now that the Thunder Fruit is already in hand, why not just run away as soon as possible? Why bother to continue wasting time with him?
"I want you to die!" The thunder danced, and that face appeared again, letting out a shrill roar.
The moment the words fell, hundreds of green vines shot out from under the thunder fruit tree.
Lu Qingshan didn't understand at this time that the green vine that attacked him before was actually the root of the thunder fruit tree!
Hundreds of green vines came over and covered the sky.
whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The noise was terrifying.
"Get up!" Lu Qingshan shouted in a low voice, and the dragon bird flew out and blocked in front of him.
A phoenix cry suddenly sounded.
Dragon Bird: Phoenix cry!
The raging flames formed the shadow of a phoenix and headed towards the green vine.
Chi Chi Chi——
Those green vines did not dodge at all, but instead rushed towards the phoenix soul shadow that was the incarnation of the dragon bird with great momentum.
The blazing red flames rolled violently, and at the moment of close combat, wisps of flames lingered on each green vine, burning continuously.
But the green vine seemed to have infinite vitality, and even such high temperature could not completely burn it into nothingness.
Covered in flames, the green vine passed through the dragon bird and rushed to Lu Qingshan like a rocket.
Puff puff puff!
The green vine did not attack Lu Qingshan, but instead inserted itself around Lu Qingshan, like a green cage, trapping Lu Qingshan inside.
Before Lu Qingshan could react, a whirlpool suddenly formed among the green vines.
In the center of the vortex is a black hexagonal crystal core, flashing a faint black light.
An infinite suction force came from it, like a black hole, trying to swallow him.
Lu Qingshan looked at the black hexagonal crystal core at the center of the vortex, feeling the current abnormality, and blurted out a term, "Mountain Ghost?!"
“You actually recognized me?” A sinister voice came from the black six-sided crystal core, “As expected of someone who has built a flawless foundation, you have a broad vision. It’s not a loss to use my last incarnation ability on you…”
Lu Qingshan felt a sudden chill in his heart.
He had only seen the word mountain ghost by chance in the game information in his previous life, and he had some residual impression of it.
This is a demon clan with supreme power.
Each member of the mountain ghost tribe is a magic mountain. Not only do they have infinite vitality, but they also possess the terrifying power of a human mountain. They once caused huge disasters to the human race.
In addition, the demons also possess the most terrifying ability. They can plunder and fuse the "fundamentals" of other races to create clones. This ability is even more terrifying than their human strength.
Among the demons, there are not many that have the ability to camouflage and transform, but there are some.
The problem is that the camouflage ability of other demons is really just a camouflage. If you can't see through it, it's only because your ability is not enough. It can't change the fact that he is still a demon in essence.
However, the mountain ghost clan's ability to clone themselves is based on the "foundation" obtained through plundering, which can be used to reshape their bodies. It is a true reconstruction.
Of course, the mountain ghosts can only use this ability to clone themselves twice in their lifetime.
But even with this limitation, this ability is still terrifying.
As for why the demons had such terrifying powers, Lu Qingshan didn't take it too seriously at the time.
The reason is very simple. According to the game information, this demon tribe has been exterminated.
The mountain ghost clan, whose true form is a demon mountain, is infertile.
They were born in the abyss, in a place called Demon Valley.
There are countless magic mountains in the Demon Valley.
Once the Demon Mountain gains intelligence, it will produce a pronucleus, which is the black hexagonal crystal core that Lu Qingshan just saw.
Once you possess the prokaryote, you become a mountain ghost.
However, the probability of the Demon Mountain giving birth to spirits is extremely low, so the number of mountain ghosts has always been very small.
In the past, the Mountain Ghosts followed the Demons to invade the human race. After becoming enlightened, Daozu Xia led the human monks to sound the clarion call for a counterattack.
A demon tribe as special as the Mountain Ghost Tribe was naturally a thorn in the eyes of the human race. They were given special treatment and no one was able to escape.
When Xia Daozu charged into the abyss, he also completely destroyed the birthplace of the mountain ghost clan - the Demon Valley.
Really eradicate the roots of the problem.
Therefore, according to the game information, the Mountain Ghost Clan should have been exterminated and no longer exist.
Who would have thought that in the depths of the Mogao Desert, the last mountain ghost in the world actually existed, and that he would encounter him.
Lu Qingshan was extremely shocked.
