Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 52: Tiger Roaring Valley (4)
After a short rest, Tang Jie took Yiyi and left the mountain spring.
They continued to move forward, and as they were walking, they suddenly heard the sound of fighting in front of them.
Following the sound, Tang Jie saw five students fighting around a golden-haired giant ape. The giant ape was nearly three meters long, and its long and thick arms were waving constantly. From time to time, it would let out angry roars, and from time to time, it would swing a stick and set off a howling wind.
Although this guy is big, his movements are extremely flexible. He jumps around in the crowd, constantly dodging magic attacks. Occasionally, he seems to be unaware of one or two hits on him, but his attacks are fierce. Incomparably, the rock will often crack with one blow.
When Tang Jie came here, the two sides were standing busy.
It can be seen that the strength of this giant ape is obviously much stronger than the wolf that Tang Jie dealt with before, but what it faced was the cooperation of five students, and the strength of these five people was obviously good, and the cooperation was considered appropriate. Therefore, we still fell behind.
Tang Jie did not come forward, but stood at a distance and shouted loudly: "Tang Jie, a student from the 1822 class, do you need help?"
The rules of Xiyue Academy are that no matter whether it is Tiger Roaring Valley or other trial locations, if you encounter a fight with students from this academy, unless the situation is critical at the time, you should not intervene easily, but you must first report your grade and name to avoid cause misunderstanding.
If you don’t report your identity, even if you say you are helping, you may have ulterior motives, and you may be doing bad things in the name of helping.
This is also a rule formed by the entire Qixia world after thousands of years of cultivation and development. Even if you report a false identity, you must at least report it first. It is like pointing a gun at someone, whether it works or not. Doing this first will make people feel much more comfortable.
If the other party needs help, a reward amount is usually given immediately to avoid disputes over contributions later.
As for killing people and grabbing monsters... at least in the Tiger Roaring Valley under the academy, anyone who dares to do this is seeking death.
"No need for the moment!" One of the leading students shouted.
Obviously, there is no intention of adding another person to share the benefits. Although this giant ape is powerful, it is just a low-grade monster. With five to one, they can safely eat it.
Tang Jie looked at the giant ape and said: "You'd better be careful. This giant ape may be the golden mandrill released some time ago. A total of two were released at that time, one male and one female, so it can't be defeated. They may ask for help, but if we can't find a quick solution, you will be in a lot of trouble."
The leading student was stunned: "Are you sure?"
"I'm not sure. But I know that there are six kinds of demon monkeys in Huxiao Valley, most of which live in groups. If it is not a golden mandrill, the consequences may be more troublesome... Anyway, if it were me, I would never encounter a monkey. Beaten."
"Let you join and give you 15%!" The student had already shouted: "We have been fighting this monkey for a long time, this condition is not too much!"
Tang Jie was about to speak when he saw the golden-haired giant ape suddenly roaring loudly, the sound shaking all directions.
Hearing this roar, everyone’s expression changed at the same time.
Tang Jie has retreated: "It's calling for reinforcements, you'd better leave as soon as possible!"
"No, we are about to win!" Some people are still reluctant to give up.
"If you don't want to be kicked out of the valley right now, run away. Give up when it's time to give up!"
After saying this, Tang Jie turned around and ran away. At the same time, a roar came from the forest in the distance, like a sudden storm, blowing through the forest and startling countless birds.
A huge golden figure was already heading here at high speed, and it looked even bigger than the one they were fighting now.
"No, let's go!" The leading student also put away his sword and ran away.
Five students ran at the same time, but the giant ape in the battle was unwilling to give up. It kept chasing behind. One student ran a little slower and was slapped in the back by the giant ape. He vomited blood and flew away. Seeing that he could no longer run away, he could only reluctantly activate the jade sign to teleport out of the valley.
Seeing this scene, Tang Jie ran wildly without looking back.
Fortunately, he didn't take action before. The two giant apes ignored him and went straight after the other four students.
Running all the way, he finally got out of the fighting area. Only then did Tang Jie stop and hold on to a tree to catch his breath.
Probably frightened by the two giant apes, Yiyi also patted his chest and said, "Brother, this place is so scary!"
They have only been here for half a day and have already fled twice. They said they were here to hunt monsters, but they looked more like they came here to be tortured by monsters.
"Silly girl." Looking at Yiyi like that, Tang Jie scratched her nose and said with a smile: "If the monster is so easy to deal with, it won't be worth it. This Tiger Roaring Valley is pretty good, at least for us There is information about them that can be checked, and there is a teleportation jade token that can save your life. When you go to a truly dangerous place in the future, these benefits will no longer exist. Okay, let's continue exploring and see what else is nearby."
As he spoke, Tang Jie was about to move forward, but found that his hand was stuck to the tree and could not be pulled back.
Looking up in shock, Tang Jie saw a strange human face appearing on the tree. The two bark eyes suddenly moved and looked at Tang Jie.
"It's a tree spirit!" Tang Jie shouted.
He pulled his arm hard and pulled it back from the tree trunk with a hiss. The palm of his hand was a **** mess.
At the same time, the face on the tree suddenly showed an angry expression, its mouth opened wide, and it roared silently. The branches on the trunk turned into millions of tree whips and whipped Tang Jie hard.
The phaseless golden body is activated, and the condensed water shield is activated.
Bah bang bang!
A large lashing light suddenly flashed out from Tang Jie's body. Under the endless whipping of the tree whip, the condensation cover instantly shattered. The terrifying force knocked Tang Jie away directly, and his back was even more bloody.
The moment Tang Jie landed, a thick tree root broke out of the ground and rolled towards Tang Jie, trying to pull him back to the tree. At the same time, the tree spirit opened its mouth wide, revealing a mouth full of fangs.
Seeing that he could no longer dodge, Tang Jie had an extra sword in his hand.
Blue Light Sword!
The sword light suddenly rises!
Swipe, and cut the tree root in two with just one sword stroke.
This chop was so fierce that even the face of the old tree showed a trace of pain.
At the same time, Tang Jie had taken out two signs.
Puppet card!
Beast refining card!
A puppet and a refined beast have rushed out at the same time, blocking the incoming tree whips.
With this block, Tang Jie finally got out of the attack range of the big tree, and at the same time he took out a spirit-reviving pill and drank it.
Being forced to use the Green Light Sword just now, all his spiritual energy was drained.
After taking the medicine, Tang Jie pointed at the tree angrily: "Thirty yuan, I will remember you!"
The price of a bottle of Spiritual Recovery Pill is about 300 Spiritual Money. There are ten pills in each bottle, so one pill is 300 Spiritual Money.
This old tree's sneak attack directly increased Tang Jie's cost by thirty spiritual coins. How could he not be angry?
The old tree's reaction was very simple. He directly pulled out the roots deep in the ground and turned them into seven or eight thick tree legs. They stood upright and chased after Tang Jie. The pace was not too fast, but the steps were fast. huge.
"Run!" Tang Jie turned around and ran.
Although this tree spirit is just a low-grade spirit, it is actually one of the most powerful and difficult to deal with among all the low-grade fairies and ghosts. Not only has super vitality, but also great strength, just the vine whip and tree roots. It can scare away most students, and even a group of people will find it difficult to get it. Even the bear demon that scared Tang Jie before is no match for it.
Its only weakness is probably that it is slightly slow and cannot be beaten, but it can always outrun it. Because of this, what the dryad loves to do most is to disguise itself as an ordinary tree and attack its target sneakily.
"Disgusting!" Yiyi shouted angrily: "They are all sperm, why are you bullying us!"
"Not every spirit is as cute as you." Tang Jie said helplessly.
In fact, elves and demons are the same, most of them are vicious creatures. If not, why would they devour blood? During the long-term blood-devouring process, the spirit of the spirit gradually grows longer and more murderous. In some aspects, it is even more ferocious than the monster.
Like Yiyi, it is because she has been with Tang Jie for a long time and has been nourished by spiritual blood, so that she can maintain her spirituality. If she lives in the wild for a long time, eating hair, drinking blood, and killing creatures every day, then the innocent and cute little loli may eventually turn into a vicious and vicious femme fatale, and even her intelligence will decrease.
Wisdom is the combination of intelligence and social experience. It can only truly grow in long-term social life. Even if the monsters enter the enlightenment stage, it only means that they have potential in this area, but wisdom itself will not Created out of nothing. The same goes for spirits. Even if they are born psychic, if they are not cultivated, they will gradually return to chaos.
For this reason, it is not uncommon to see monsters that are enlightened, spirits that are psychic, that drink blood from their hair, and are as stupid as pigs.
After running for a while, but seeing that he could not catch up, the old tree stopped chasing and returned to the original place to wait for the next prey.
When Tang Jie saw that the other party was not pursuing him, he actually stopped and turned around and walked towards the old tree.
Although the old tree was a spirit, his intelligence was obviously average. After giving up the pursuit, he simply ignored Tang Jie.
So Tang Jie stood outside the attack range of the old tree and kept observing the old tree.
Yiyi looked nervous and asked: "You don't want to deal with it, do you?"
In terms of strength, this old tree is much stronger than the golden-haired giant ape and brown bear.
"Well, there isn't much time left. If we don't get anything good, we will lose money today." Tang Jie said calmly.
"But it can't be beaten."
"Yiyi, the biggest difference between humans and goblins and ghosts is not that our fists are harder than theirs, but that our brains are better than theirs. This tree spirit is very powerful, but its biggest weakness is that it is too slow. ”
"Oh, I understand, you want to hit it while running and use the vitality needle to beat it to death!" Yiyi jumped up and shouted.
"It's useless." Tang Jie shook his head and replied: "The trauma range of the Vitality Needle is too small and is not suitable for dealing with these huge and tough guys. Not to mention that the Vitality Needle is not suitable, even cracking the jade finger will not work. To use this kind of spell to kill the tree spirit, all my spiritual energy may not be enough. Moreover, this guy is rooted in the ground and can continuously absorb water from the soil to restore itself. Even ordinary fire spells have little effect on it. ."
"What should we do?" Yiyi was dumbfounded.
Tang Jie smiled and said: "Of course I used a more powerful technique to kill him by force."
"But you don't have a more powerful technique at all." Yiyi pouted.
Tang Jie replied proudly: "I don't have any magic skills, but I have formations!"
The path of the formation lies in nature, relying on nature, taking the formation patterns as the path, and focusing on power!
For the same spell, the power reflected by the formation must be greater than that released by the cultivator.
Due to the time required to set up, under normal circumstances, it is difficult for the formation to work in real-time battles. However, facing this mature old tree, Tang Jie did not have so many scruples. At this moment, he directly took out the materials and set up the formation on the spot. .
What he deployed was the Earth Fire Evil Formation, which is a formation directly recorded in Xu Muyang’s true interpretation of the formation. The Dacheng Formation can generate Earth Fire, and a large flame rises from the ground to destroy an entire area. , extremely powerful.
What Tang Jiebu said was naturally not that terrifying. What he was interested in was that the formation of flames was generated from the ground, which was perfect for dealing with the tree spirit.
Dryants are not like monsters. Due to their living habits, if the life is not within its attack range, they will generally not take the initiative to attack. Especially low-level tree spirits like it do not even have the ability to distinguish the actions of its opponents. lack.
So at this moment, Tang Jie was setting up a formation not far from it, but it didn't react at all. Tang Jie actually set up the formation easily.
The next thing is much simpler.
After the formation was set up, Tang Jie shot out a vitality needle, hitting the old branch in the middle. An angry look appeared on the giant old tree's face, and suddenly it jumped up from the ground and rushed towards Tang Jie.
Standing motionless on the spot, Tang Jie looked at the old tree coldly, watching it rush into the formation area, and then said coldly: "Welcome to the death trap!"
With a snap of his fingers, a large column of fierce flames suddenly rose from the flat ground, surrounding the tree spirit from all directions.
"Brush!"
This time it finally let out a loud scream, but it was like a roaring forest tide.
The vine whip flapped wildly in the flames, and its roots pierced deep into the ground, trying to extinguish the flames on its body.
It’s just that in this earthly fire evil formation, the flames are transformed from spiritual energy. Unless the surrounding spiritual energy is consumed, or the formation is terminated, it will continue to grow, and it cannot be extinguished.
The tree spirit knew something was wrong, so he turned around and ran outside the formation, trying to escape the death trap.
Seeing that it was about to run away, Tang Jie shouted: "Block it, don't let it run away!"
The puppet and the refining beast rushed at the tree spirit at the same time, firmly resisting the tree spirit.
Jufan formations usually have forbidden doors to prevent the target from escaping. However, Tang Jie's formation was so simple that there was no such thing as a forbidden gate. Of the eight gates in the formation, he actually only set up three of them and made them work. Door, die, open, close.
The open door is the central door, the death door is the killing door, and the rest door is the rotation door. He cannot save these three doors.
As for the Dumen, which controls changes, the Shengmen, which focuses on guarding and defense, the Injury Gate, which focuses on sealing and capturing, the Jingmen, which focuses on the chaos of the gods, and the Jingmen, which focuses on concealment and disguise, they all only meet basic needs, and their functions are completely different. Counting on it.
No way, another flaw of the formation is the cost. Tang Jie cannot afford the complete Earth Fire Evil Formation, and even the existing three doors can only be equipped with the lowest configuration.
So the tree spirit wanted to escape, and the only thing Tang Jie could do was to stop it with himself.
The burning vine whip danced wildly, but Tang Jie rushed forward despite the flames, grabbed a tree leg and refused to let go.
This tree spirit was so powerful that he couldn't hold it back even with his own strength. After all, the puppet's strength was no less than his, and both sides exerted their strength together, which was enough to stop the tree spirit from escaping.
The flaming whip struck him, tearing his clothes and burning the cloth. The sparks falling on him were crackling and jumping, but Tang Jie held on to the tree spirit as if he was completely unaware.
The earthly evil fire is really fierce. Once it entangles the tree spirit, it will burn the entire tree like a tarsal flame, burning the life of the tree spirit rapidly. The tree spirit emits a sound from time to time Screaming silently, a giant face changed into an expression of pain. It was obvious that the flames had done great harm to it.
If it could escape, it could recover itself by drawing water from the ground with tree roots. But in this formation, even the ground was covered in flames, and it only took a moment to burn it down to charcoal.
Perhaps knowing that something bad was about to happen to it, it yelled loudly, the flames on the tree suddenly dimmed, and the tree whips suddenly retracted, pulling Tang Jie closer to itself.
"No!" Tang Jie's expression changed drastically. He knew that this guy had no chance of escaping and wanted to drag them to death together, so he immediately withdrew his hand.
It's just that the tree spirit's counterattack before death was really impressive. The tree's legs coiled into a huge tentacle, and it suddenly rolled towards Tang Jie, forcefully pulling him into the fire.
Seeing that Tang Jie could no longer dodge, the old tree spirit showed a satisfied cruelty on his face.
Tang Jie shook his head: "You are wrong!"
He pressed his hand lightly on the ground.
The flame disappears!
Bump!
Tang Jie has landed on the ground, landing right in front of the tree spirit, face to face with the old face on the tree trunk.
He smiled: "I set up the formation, and I'm responsible for switching it on and off."
"Whoosh!"
The tree spirit let out an angry scream again, opened its mouth wide, and a green light shot towards Tang Jie. It was a tree species.
This tree species is the essence of the tree spirit, and it is also its last trump card. Once it attacks the target, it can grow in the target's body, absorb its life and restore itself.
At this moment, it has no choice.
However, just as the tree species flew out, Tang Jie pointed at the tree species: "This is what I want!"
A bit of golden light flew out of Tang Jie's fingertips~IndoMTL.com~ and was piercing the tree species.
It is the small golden needle formed from the "Bing" formula.
The tree seed that condensed the essence of the tree spirit was originally indestructible. Even the high-level students of Lingtai would be severely damaged when faced with this attack. However, when hit by this golden light, it penetrated with one blow, and the golden needle turned into a golden glow. Light flies across the sky.
"Ah!" The tree spirit let out a third scream, a shrill roar like a human being.
All the branches of this old tree drooped down at the same time, and it withered and decayed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and eventually turned into a dead old tree, leaving only an unwilling human face on the trunk.
"Phew! Finally killed." Tang Jie also wiped the sweat from his forehead.
This tree spirit was indeed the most difficult type among the lower-level spirits. Tang Jie had to use almost all methods to kill it. The cost of setting up the formation to kill it alone cost hundreds of dollars.
So after a battle, the consumption cost is huge, and this time he entered, the cumulative cost he paid has been as high as 330 yuan, and this does not include the fact that the puppet is rent-free this time.
If the tree spirit escaped in this battle, then I would be at a loss to my grandma's family. Finally, I did not let myself down in this battle. The benefits that this tree spirit can provide are much more valuable than that of the wolf.
At this moment, a scream suddenly sounded from behind, it was Yiyi.
Tang Jie thought something had happened to Yiyi and turned around in shock, only to see her covering her eyes and pointing at Tang Jie's lower body: "So ugly! So ugly!"
Tang Jie looked down and saw that he was almost naked after being burned by the flames. He was so ashamed that he hurriedly pulled the wolf skin around him.
Looking at Yiyi jumping around, Tang Jie wanted to explain a few words, but suddenly remembered something and his expression changed drastically: "Damn it, where did I throw it?"
Rush out and look for that golden needle all over the world...
