For a moment, within the stone cave, sword energy was everywhere.
A dense cloud of sharp-billed insects came like a tide, but before they could get close to Xu Ning, they were already smashed into pieces by the sword energy.
Hundreds of sharp-billed bugs were completely wiped out by Xu Ning in just a dozen breaths.
Seeing a piece of fluorescent gravel on the ground, Xu Ning also picked up all of them one by one, and then absorbed the energy in them.
"There are close to 350 units of energy!"
Xu Ning also gained a lot from absorbing all the fluorescent gravel in the sharp-billed worm's body.
"This has just entered the secret realm, and there is such a harvest. If we continue to explore, there will probably be more resources."
Xu Ning continued to explore.
However, while exploring, Xu Ning was also more cautious.
Although the more than 300 sharp-billed bugs just now were only middle-level mortal realms, they were extremely numerous.
This kind of number also poses some threats to the weaker Void Realm martial artists.
Xu Ning didn't know if there would be a higher level of danger in the future.
"This stone cave tunnel is full of roots, and I don't know where the exit is... "
When entering the secret realm for the first time, Xu Ning didn't know the whole picture.
Where the treasure is, where the danger lurks, none of these are known.
Boom, boom, boom...
Xu Ning walked along the widest stone tunnel, and as he walked, he heard regular muffled noises.
"What is this movement..."
Following the voice, Xu Ning proceeded carefully.
Soon, at the end of a spacious tunnel, Xu Ning saw a dense darkness.
In a stone cave, the sharp-billed worms I encountered before were all over the entire stone wall.
At this time, the insects that were buzzing before were all silent now.
In the deepest part of the cave, a dark green meat ball hung on the wall, trembling.
Every time it trembles, it makes a thumping sound.
"What is this..."
Seeing the sharp-billed bugs all over the wall, Xu Ning had a deep impulse to kill them all with his sword.
According to preliminary estimates, there must be more than 2,000 of these sharp-billed bugs.
However, although those sharp-mouthed bugs made Xu Ning feel greedy, the trembling dark green flesh gave Xu Ning a sense of crisis, but this sense of crisis was not very strong.
Stab.
At this time, a gap was suddenly cut open on the dark green meat dumpling.
A dark green scimitar hand protruded from it, and soon a triangular head appeared.
"Giant praying mantis? Is this also a monster?"
Xu Ning clenched his swords tightly.
Although the mantid monster has not completely crawled out of it, Xu Ning has already felt its tyrannical and terrifying aura.
Xu Ning even felt that he had been locked by the mantid monster.
Once it climbs out, it may attack itself.
Seeing this, Xu Ning didn't hesitate, and stepped forward with his sword, ready to kill the mantis monster in advance.
But before Xu Ning got close, on the wall next to him, the originally quiet sharp-billed bugs suddenly started to erupt, rushing to Xu Ning in an instant, enveloping Xu Ning.
Xu Ning was not flustered, his true energy burst out to protect his body, those sharp-mouthed bugs couldn't touch Xu Ning at all.
Yueshui sword cuts; Yinghuo sword annihilates!
Xu Ning swung his sword with both hands, and slashed at the sharp-billed bugs around him.
Hush!
Layers of sharp-billed bugs were wiped out by Xu Ning.
When Xu Ning went down with his sword, dozens of sharp-billed insects died.
"Being attacked by so many mid-level bugs in the Mortal Realm, if you don't have the protection of true energy, even a martial artist in the Void Realm of the Casting Body Realm will die directly!"
The sharp insects kept falling under Xu Ning's sword light, spreading a thick layer on the ground.
Soon, a large group of sharp-billed worms was directly killed by Xu Ning.
But this also delayed Xu Ning's time.
Crash.
At this time, I saw the giant praying mantis coming out of the meat ball, but it didn't attack Xu Ning immediately, but devoured the meat ball completely.
This scene is a bit like a newborn animal, devouring eggshells or eggshells to absorb nutrients.
"Is this a newborn monster?"
Xu Ning didn't think it was that simple.
On the mantid monster's shell, Xu Ning could see that there were scars that could not be repaired.
This shows that this mantid monster has experienced battles before.
So Xu Ning speculates that the skin of the swallowed meat dumpling is like a place where it recuperates and sleeps.
Swish!
The mantid monster looked at Xu Ning who was slashing at the sharp-billed bug, and a faint green light appeared in the compound eyes.
Afterwards, it waved its sickle directly, stared at its legs, and slammed into Xu Ning with a great impact.
Seeing this, Xu Ning's true energy surged violently, and directly bounced off the sharp-billed bugs that were still around him, and then slashed at the hand sickle of the mantid monster with both swords.
After the sound of clashing weapons, Xu Ning found that there was only a tiny gap on the sickle of the mantid monster.
"It's so hard!"
If the opponent is replaced by another qualitative transformation realm martial artist, Xu Ning's two swords will definitely break through the defense directly.
Whoosh whoosh!
Xu Ning dodged the scythe this time, and directly slashed at the back of the monster mantis.
At this time, in Xu Ning's body, the four groups of attribute air currents are constantly changing, cutting, annihilating, corroding, penetrating, and several types of damage of different nature hit the mantid monster.
Puff puff puff.
On the body of the mantid monster, dozens of wounds were opened, and green blood flowed out of it.
"Sure enough, the exoskeleton on it is far less hard than its hand sickle!"
Seeing this, Xu Ning constantly broke his body with his flexible figure.
The mantid monster's injuries became more and more serious, and the attacks became more and more violent.
Finally, when he realized that he was no match for this human, the mantid monster directly passed Xu Ning and fled to the other end of the tunnel.
Xu Ning didn't give it a chance at all, and then chased after it.
Swinging the two swords, sword shadows filled the sky, and the body of the mantid monster was completely shattered.
"solved."
Xu Ning looked at the corpse of the mantid monster, and said in his heart: "This mantid monster should be a mid-level virtual world, and it should be able to master attribute abilities, but just now, it didn't show any ability in this area. …”
"However, although it doesn't have attribute energy, its body is stronger than its peers. If its two scythes are cut and taken out, they should be able to be made into high-quality double knives that even martial artists in the Void Realm want to have."
Xu Ning swung his sword, and slashed several times at the mantid monster, tearing its body apart completely.
"That is… "
Xu Ning found a piece of fluorescent stone in the body of the mantid monster that was exactly the same as those of the sharp-billed bugs before.
However, this fluorescent stone is the size of several fists.
Xu Ning felt a tinge of anticipation in an instant, he immediately put away the two swords, and took out the fluorescent stone from them with his hands.
—
Found 3000 units of energy, is it absorbed
whether
—
3000 units!
At this time, the corners of Xu Ning's mouth were already raised.
"Yes!"
Without hesitation, Xu Ning directly absorbed the 3000 units of energy.
The fluorescent stone he held in both hands turned into a handful of powder quicksand and slipped from Xu Ning's hand the moment the energy was absorbed.
It wasn't over yet, Xu Ning turned around again, and walked towards the corpses of sharp-billed bugs all over the ground behind him.
Although the sharp-billed bugs that hadn't been killed before scattered and fled after killing the mantid monster just now, there were more than a thousand bug corpses left on the ground.
Xu Ning didn't bother, after crushing the ground bug corpses, he packed up all the fluorescent rubble.
After working for a quarter of an hour, another 1,500 units were absorbed by Xu Ning.
At this time, Xu Ning's remaining energy has reached more than 5300 units.
"Is this the secret realm... It's full of dangers, but it's also full of opportunities!"
Now that Xu Ning has gathered enough 5000 units of energy, he can already break through to the fifth level of the Void Realm.
Once breaking through to the metamorphic state, Xu Ning can directly use the free aura to condense the real water and fire.
Xu Ning directly called up the martial arts panel.
—
Name: Xu Ning
Martial Arts:
Cold and Flame Dual Source Code (Fourth Layer of Void Realm: Qualitative Change Realm)+
Sword of Yueshui (five floors)+
Yinghuo sword (five layers) +
Tidal Fist (five floors) +
Flame breath and bone meridian (five layers)+
Available energy: 5280 units
—
"Improve the Code of Cold and Flame Dual Sources."
The 5,000 units of energy were consumed in an instant, and Xu Ning's strength was directly upgraded from the four-level metamorphic realm of the virtual realm to the five-tier metamorphic realm of the virtual realm.
Xu Ning held his hands empty, and with a thought, a ball of water and a ball of fire suddenly floated above his palm.
"Transformation Realm can directly condense martial arts attributes!"
After the martial arts attributes are condensed, when using nature means, the power will increase sharply again.
Wow.
Xu Ning put away the water and fire balls in his hands, then turned his sword fingers into his hands, and slashed at the stone wall around him.
I saw Xu Ning's fingertips, first the true energy was stimulated, and then a water line attached to the true energy.
bass!
Waterline drawn.
On the stone wall, a huge cutting sword mark appeared in an instant. Although it was just a casual blow, the sword mark was deep and wide, and its terrifying power could be seen.
Even a Void Realm martial artist belonging to the Yuan Realm cannot resist this random sword finger.
If he forcefully followed with a sword finger, he might be torn apart directly.
"The four streams of air in the body are now more solidified, and even tend to liquefy..."
Xu Ning also noticed the changes in his body.
When I first came to the secret realm and raised the four secret skills to the fifth floor, the air currents representing the four attributes had already condensed and become thicker again, and now in the middle of the four air streams, water droplets with attribute properties had condensed.
The shape of water droplets is similar to the shape of four groups of air currents.
"However, although the metamorphic environment has been promoted, it is still impossible to realize the transformation of properties between different types of attributes."
Xu Ning reckons that this level can only be reached when one is promoted to the sixth level of the Void Realm.
After feeling the increase in strength, Xu Ning was about to walk out of the cave.
Before leaving, Xu Ning looked back.
In just a short while, the bodies of the mantid monster and those sharp-billed bugs showed signs of corruption.
"There is something weird in this secret realm..."
At this time, Xu Ning already suspected that the mantid monster and sharp-billed bug might not be monsters themselves.
Their appearance like this may be related to the fluorescent stone in their bodies.
Xu Ning speculates that the fluorescent stone is not produced from their bodies, but after absorbing the fluorescent stone to a certain extent through eating and other means, with the help of the special function of the fluorescent stone, evolution is achieved.
"Keep going around and see if you can find other swarms or traces of glowstones..."
Xu Ning walked out of the cave.
Time passed by every minute and every second.
Xu Ning continued to grope in the stone tunnel for several hours, but found nothing else.
It seems that apart from the bugs before, there are no other creatures in this stone cave tunnel.
At this time, Xu Ning was already a little irritable.
Not only did he not find other swarms and resources, but he also seemed to be unable to find a way out.
"This terrain is really complicated, I won't be trapped here..."
A trace of worry rose in Xu Ning's heart.
However, after walking for a while by feeling, Xu Ning heard the sound of air passing through the entrance of the cave.
"It's the exit!"
Xu Ning quickened his pace.
Since there is nothing to gain in the stone cave tunnel, then go out and see for yourself.
Sure enough, after walking a few hundred meters, Xu Ning came to the end of a tunnel.
On the oblique top of the tunnel, there is a passage leading directly to the outside.
"Beyond the cave, it's like night..."
Xu Ning looked along the exit.
It was pitch black outside the cave, and there were no stars, so it must not be the same sky as the outside world.
With the limit of Xu Ning's eyesight, he could only see a cloud of gray.
"Let's go out and talk."
Xu Ning jumped up, climbed up the passage, then bent his body, and got out of the stone tunnel.
"This is… "
Coming out of the stone tunnel, in front of Xu Ning was a wilderness shrouded in darkness.
On the wilderness, there are gravel and dead trees, and white bones are everywhere.
Some of them are human bones and some are animal bones.
In addition, there are dried blood stains on the ground, sprinkled all over the ground.
As soon as he approached, a bloody and oppressive feeling came over his face.
"What is this place… "
Even Xu Ning, who had experienced many battles, felt very uncomfortable in this scene.
He didn't even want to set foot on this land in the wilderness.
"This place looks like a battlefield left by humans and monsters."
Xu Ning remembered that in the history of Jifeng Prefecture, there had been a terrifying beast tide.
That beast horde had a great impact on Jifeng Prefecture.
"Could it be that this secret realm is somehow related to the monster battlefield at that time?"
Xu Ning guessed in his heart.
The chilling wilderness in front of him was endless, and Xu Ning didn't know where there was such a large space under the pool.
Xu Ning even wondered if he was transported to another time and space since he passed through the barrier barrier.
With a heavy guard in his heart, Xu Ning set foot on this chilling wilderness.
"On this battlefield, although years have passed, some animal bones are still clean and smooth. Taking out such animal bones is also a resource that can be exchanged for a price."
Walking in the wilderness, Xu Ning looked around: "Just carrying those animal bones will affect the movement, which is very inconvenient."
Stepping into the wilderness, Xu Ning can aim at a position and move forward in a straight line.
While walking, Xu Ning's ears suddenly moved.
"there's noise!"
Xu Ning immediately looked to the front right and took a closer look.
I saw two figures, one chasing and the other fleeing, galloping across the wilderness.
"It should be a disciple of Yuelan Sect!"
Xu Ning didn't think much, and rushed over directly.
He was getting closer and closer to the two of them.
Soon, Xu Ning saw their identities clearly.
"Bao Ruyuan, Xie Wenyue?"
At this time, Bao Ruyuan raised his sword and was frantically chasing and killing Xie Wenyue.
