Driven by the oars, the boat moved forward quietly and slowly.
The fish in the Styx were not afraid of the boat and kept approaching it, as if they were playing a game or making trouble.
The River Styx has several bends, and after turning a few bends, I arrived at a secluded place.
Here, I took out the Haotian Tower and the red lacquer coffin from the cloth bag, and awakened the tower spirit and the mysterious senior inside.
"What? Are we there yet?"
Came the mysterious man's voice.
I said, "Yes, senior, we have arrived at the Golden and Silver Bridge in the underworld. I am looking for the place of compassion, but it seems that I need to enter from a dark cave."
"Okay, I got it, I'll be right out."
Then, the patterns on the red lacquered coffin lit up one after another, and with a "creak", the coffin lid moved slightly, and a golden shadow flew out from the bronze coffin inside the red lacquered coffin.
The tower spirit also appeared and said respectfully, "Master."
I nodded without saying anything more.
The mysterious man landed on the roof of the boat and observed the movements around him.
I said, "Senior, it is said that there are terrible creatures hiding near that dark cave. Those creatures feed on the fish in the Styx. They should be guarding that place of compassion to prevent outsiders from entering."
In response to my reminder, the mysterious man said lightly, "It's okay. Those monsters must have absorbed the primordial energy in front of the 'Gate of Immortal Treasure' and transformed into monsters. Although the primordial energy is diffused in the Immortal Treasure, it is very thin after all. Even if those monsters have transformed, they are not that powerful."
"Your cultivation has reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage... Oh, no, it looks like you're about to break through the Nascent Soul Stage and reach the Tribulation Stage. It shouldn't be a problem to deal with those weird creatures."
The boat continued to move forward.
In just seven or eight minutes, a large hole appeared on the right side in front.
The stone wall at the entrance of the cave was covered with moss, and even some thorny trees grew on it. The trees were bright green and looked very prosperous.
At the same time, I also discovered a kind of flower.
The flowers are pure white, without a trace of dirt, giving people a clean and natural feeling.
"Huh? It's actually the 'Tumei Flower'. I didn't expect this flower to grow in a place like this. But it's nothing. It seems to be affected by the Hongmeng Qi."
"Senior, what is the flower of the hibiscus?"
I asked, puzzled.
The mysterious man explained in a deep voice: "The so-called rosy flower is nothing more than a spiritual herb. However, the environment in which this spiritual herb grows is extremely harsh. If it is contaminated by anything, it will turn into ashes. Moreover, the blooming time of the rosy flower is also very limited, and it usually does not last more than three days."
"But it looks like these flowers have lived here for a long time. It seems that the primordial energy has nourished them greatly, causing their properties to change."
"Then, Senior, is this dark cave the entrance to the Land of Compassion?"
Without any hesitation, the mysterious man replied, "It is the entrance, no doubt about it."
He was very sure.
"Let's go and move the boat over." said the mysterious senior.
I nodded and controlled the boat towards the entrance of the cave.
Didn't Meng Po say that there were strange creatures in the dark cave? How come I didn't see any? I was very surprised.
The boat soon approached the shore, and I, the mysterious senior, and Ta Ling went under the boat.
The senior raised his finger and pointed at the Tu Mi flower, and said to me: "Go pick it, the Tu Mi flower is still very beneficial for cultivation. If you can sense the Hong Meng Qi in the flower and transform it into spiritual energy, it will be even more powerful."
I happily went to those flowers of the hibiscus
He came to the front of the woman and took out a piece of cloth from the bag, and was about to pick the flowers of the rose.
But at this moment, the tower spirit stared at the water of the Styx with its spiritual eyes and said, "Master, it's not good. There are a few big creatures coming. I sensed that the cultivation base of those creatures should be around the Nascent Soul stage, which is about the same as your cultivation base."
I didn't pick the rose flower immediately. I stood up quickly and took out the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword from my body.
The mysterious senior smiled and said to me and the tower spirit, "They are very weak, so you can handle them."
A flock of crows flew over my head.
It seems that this mysterious man is using us as a tool, and he himself has no intention of contributing. However, I am still very satisfied that he can tell me about the ancient Bodhi tree.
"Okay, senior, I promise not to waste time."
At this moment, a black shadow under the Styx suddenly crashed into the boat.
"Bang!"
The sound is very dull.
But the boat only shook a few times, and a little water from the Styx fell on it, but it was not damaged. It seems that my previous guess was right, the material used to make this boat is definitely extraordinary, very strong and durable.
The black shadow was about ten square meters in size and was very conspicuous in the grayish-white water of the River Styx.
From my angle, that guy looked like a big squid, with a long black tail.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak!”
A cry came from the monster's mouth, and with a "splash", its body leaped out of the water of the River Styx and attacked us at the edge of the dark cave.
I finally got a clear look at this big guy.
It has a flat body and a sharp mouth. When it opens, there are rows of sharp teeth as thick as fingers in its mouth.
There was dark red sticky liquid flowing out of its mouth, which should be its saliva.
And its long tail is covered with scales.
The scales are slightly larger than a fingernail, but very dense, wrapping the entire tail like a long whip.
Moreover, I sensed that there were three more monsters approaching quickly.
"Ta Ling, you deal with this monster, and I will deal with the next three monsters."
I gave an order.
"Yes, Master."
After receiving the order, the tower spirit released its spiritual energy, activating the Haotian Tower to smash towards the strange creature.
With a loud "bang", the strange black creature collided with the Haotian Tower.
The spiritual pressure released from the Haotian Tower directly fell on the monster.
The monster's head was naturally not as hard as the Haotian Tower, and it was directly hit and injured.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak.”
The monster screamed in pain, and its huge body fell into the River Styx.
At this time, the tower spirit controlled the Haotian Tower and chased after it.
I picked up the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword, controlled the spiritual energy, and flew towards the west of the dark cave.
There are three monsters rushing over there.
When I rushed over there, the three monsters already knew I was coming.
They did not jump out of the water, but opened their mouths and spit out streams of dark red liquid.
That ** is what I call their saliva.
My spiritual energy continued to surge, forming dense spiritual energy beams.
“Puff, puff, puff!”
Those dark red ** were blocked.
But I found that there was a strange smell coming from the dark red **. The smell was fishy and stinky, and it actually penetrated the barrier of spiritual energy and spread towards me.
For a moment, I was caught off guard and inhaled a few puffs of the dark red gas.
Suddenly, I felt dizzy in my head.
Even the golden elixir in the body began to rotate slowly.
.
But I still gritted my teeth and released a stream of golden spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy shot onto the body of a strange creature, directly breaking its skin and flesh.
A handful of bright red blood spread in the River Styx.
But the strange creature was not killed by me. Instead, its body twisted into a small ball, and then it pounced towards me.
At this time, the golden elixir in my lower abdomen had stopped functioning, being restricted by the dark red gas.
The spiritual energy in his body was also being consumed rapidly.
Helplessly, I could only retreat back to the side of the dark cave.
The mysterious man saw that I was in trouble, shook his head and said, "You really underestimated the enemy. Even if you have a very high level of cultivation now, you can't underestimate the enemy. Sometimes, it is very likely that a weak existence can kill you."
"Senior, the lesson is correct."
My face turned red and white, and I felt a little ashamed.
On the other hand, Ta Ling's attack was very ruthless.
The pressure from the Haotian Tower continued to increase, forcing the strange creature that had appeared earlier to sink into the River Styx.
At the same time, the tower spirit vigorously urged the Haotian Tower, and a colorful halo suddenly appeared on the tower.
The circle of light hit the body of the strange creature that was under pressure, just like a sharp knife swinging down.
With a "swish" sound, the body of the strange creature was torn into two pieces by the aperture.
“Pah, pah!”
With just a few plops in the River Styx, the strange creature died.
The tower spirit looked at me, then rushed towards the other three monsters.
Damn it, there was clearly some contempt in the look in Ta Ling’s eyes just now.
Okay, I admit it. It's my fault for embarrassing me.
The mysterious man came to me at this time. He clasped his hands together, and with a flip of his palm, he had already picked a camellia flower.
The mysterious man waved his hand, and a stream of spiritual energy carrying the camellia flower flew towards me.
"Swallow the petals of the Tulip Flower, and you will be able to release the restraints in your body."
What, the flower of the rose has this effect
I quickly stuffed the petals of the camellia flower into my mouth.
Don't say it, the flower of the hibiscus flower entered my mouth, and after chewing it, it tasted very sweet. At the same time, a strange energy began to spread throughout my body.
"brush!"
With a muffled sound, my golden elixir started to spin again, and the strange energy in my body began to quickly expel the dark red gas.
Soon the dark red gas was expelled from my body.
At the same time, a faint luster appeared on the surface of my body.
The luster protected me from the dark red gas.
My body felt comfortable and relaxed. If there was no one around, I would have screamed out loud. Well, that's what I meant.
"Thank you for your care, senior."
I thanked him.
But the mysterious man's eyes were looking into the depths of the dark cave, and he exclaimed: "After so many years, I'm finally back."
I don't quite understand what he means.
But I was still very annoyed when facing those strange creatures. After all, they made me lose face.
Tower Spirit has successfully killed three strange creatures, and only the last one is left.
"Ta Ling, come back first, teach me how to deal with that guy."
I gave an order.
Even though Ta Ling had some contempt for me in his heart, I was his master and controlled him, and he had no way to stop me.
This is what makes me awesome.
The tower spirit flew back and landed next to me.
The spiritual energy in my body surged, I took out the basalt shield from the cloth bag, and rushed towards the strange creature.
