The stones on the backs of turtle monsters will eventually be exhausted. When no more stones appear on their backs, Qiao Bai and Xu Ran were still unscathed.

"Did you see a problem?"

The turtle monsters temporarily ended their attack, and Xu Ran's brows also frowned.

"We have indeed discovered a problem. These turtle monsters seem to only know how to fight in groups!"

Qiao Bai scratched his head. The turtle monster did give him such a feeling, but it was the first time in his life that he had seen this kind of situation. Before, he had only heard about this kind of thing in the outside world when he listened to Gu Zheng's anecdotes about the outside world.

A monster that only knows how to fight in groups.

"I've learned a lot again, let me try to see if it's true!"

Xu Ran frowned and shouted the 'Mountain Knife Technique' towards the turtle monster.

Xu Ran and Qiao Bai actually know quite a lot of immortal skills, but it's not just the 'Crazy Crazy Sword' and 'Raging Sea Frenzy' that were taught to them just two days before the ancient war. It's just that they don't have any of the immortal skills they knew before.

'Crazy Crazy Knife' and 'Raging Sea Tide' are just powerful.

Facing Xu Ran's sword energy, more than twenty turtle monsters stuck out their tongues uniformly and made a sound of "lue lulu lulu".

The turtle monsters stuck out their tongues, not making faces at Xu Ran. While their tongues kept shaking, a colorless barrier appeared in front of them, helping them block the light of Xu Ran's sword.

"Woooooooo..."

The colorless barrier was formed, and the more than twenty turtles no longer made the sound of "luu lulu lue". They started to raise their heads to the sky and scream strangely.

Amidst the weird screams of the turtle monster, the Hanging Mountain trembled, and a huge thing broke away from the mountain.

The thing that broke away from the mountain looked like an extremely rough stone statue. It was ten feet tall and rushed towards Qiao Bai and Xu Ran.

"Leave it to you to deal with the turtle monster, and I'll deal with this big guy!"

Qiao Bai greeted Xu Ran, and his body grew bigger while shaking.

However, with Qiao Bai's current cultivation level, the limit of body growth is eight feet, and he still looks much shorter than the stone statue.

"Peng!"

Qiao Bai's sword energy was hit by the stone statue's fist. While making a loud noise, rocks also fell from the stone statue's fist.

"good!"

Through one blow, Qiao Bai had discovered that the strength of this stone statue should be about the same as him, and it was within the range that he could deal with.

"Falling Leaf Sword Technique!"

Qiao Bai used the immortal skill 'Falling Leaf Sword Technique', and like butterflies flying through fallen leaves, he fought with the huge stone statue.

Xu Ran was not idle either. Precisely because he had also heard Gu Zheng’s anecdotes about me being outside the circle, he knew that these monsters outside the circle who could only attack in groups had a big weakness, that is, they were afraid of close combat.

.

Knowing what the monsters were afraid of, Xu Ran naturally followed them and raised a colorless barrier with a slash at close range. Xu Ran was not worried about his own safety at all, because he understood that he was fighting with Qiao Bai.

The stone statue is actually jointly controlled by the turtle monsters. As long as he breaks through the colorless barrier, the turtle monsters are almost like lambs to be slaughtered.

"Yes, you still remember what I said."

Seeing Qiao Bai and Xu Ran's clear division of labor, Gu Zheng smiled in his heart. If he hadn't discovered that these twenty-odd turtle monsters were the kind of monsters that could only fight in groups, how could he have let Qiao Bai and Xu Ran

Then the two of them went to deal with more than twenty of them.

Although a single turtle monster seems to have the strength of the early stage of returning to the void, this strength is very weak, because they simply cannot fight alone.

Qiao Bai was still fighting with the stone statue, but Xu Ran had already broken the barrier set up by the turtle monster, and chopped off the head of one of the turtle monsters with a single blow.

Earthy-colored blood spurted out from the neck of the turtle monster like a fountain. The other turtle monsters felt the threat of death and immediately fled into the distance like rollers. The stone statues originally controlled by them came immediately.

He suddenly fell to the ground and shattered into rubble.

"Don't chase!"

Seeing that Xu Ran was eager to kill and wanted to chase the escaped turtle monster, Qiao Bai hurriedly called him to stop. This was Xuankong Mountain and there were too many unknowns. He was afraid that Xu Ran would suffer a loss.

Xu Ran stopped and looked at Gu Zheng with questioning eyes.

"No need to chase them. They will turn into rocks on the mountain later and we will still encounter them."

Gu Zheng stood up and walked towards Qiao Bai and Xu Ran, and the turtle monster that Xu Ran killed before gave him another earth attribute inner elixir.

To say that the turtle monster is really strange, they are both earth-type monsters, but they don't know how to escape from the earth. They are just petrified similar to the invisibility technique.

The petrification ability of the turtle monster is also very strong, at least it can hide it from Qiao Bai, who is in the late stage of returning to the void, but they can't hide the abnormality in Xuran's eyes. After all, Xuran has just opened the 'Eye of False Tao'

If you know how, you will be able to see through the true nature of Lingzhu and Xiong San.

"There, there, there..."

Xu Ran's fingers kept pointing at the mountain. Those seemingly normal stones were actually transformed by turtle monsters.

"Peng Peng Peng!"

Explosions sounded one after another, and Qiao Bai and Xu Ran killed the turtle monsters one after another.

In the process of Qiao Bai and Xu Ran killing the turtle monsters, they truly realized what it meant to be a 'big world with all kinds of wonders' and what it meant to be a 'shrinking turtle'. After those turtle monsters were afraid of them, they turned into rocks and didn't even resist.

, more than twenty of them were all easily killed by them.

More than twenty turtle monsters contributed more than twenty earth-attribute inner elixirs to Guzheng.

Gu Zheng also took Qiao Bai and Xu Ran on the road. On the way to the waterfall, they did not encounter phantom attacks, but they encountered another monster interception.

The monsters that intercepted Gu Zheng and the others were one that looked like an elephant, and the other looked like a rhinoceros. Although these two monsters were big, they were not very strong. They were both killed by Qiao Bai and Xu Ran.

Killed.

We finally got close to the waterfall, and when we looked up, we felt like the Milky Way had fallen into the sky.

In the mist, Gu Zheng observed the waterfall with his Taoist eyes, and joy gradually appeared on his face.

"Yes, the waterfall water here is indeed suitable for brewing fairy wine." Gu Zheng said with a smile.

"Very good!"

Qiao Bai and Xu Ran cheered, they missed the taste of fairy fruit wine so much.

"Although the waterfall water is suitable, it cannot be used to brew ambrosia because the water has been polluted."

Gu Zheng pointed to the water curtain cave above, and Qiao Bai and Xu Ran immediately understood that the source of the pollution came from the golden toad monster in the cave.

"You two just wait here while I kill that golden toad monster."

Gu Zheng paused and pointed to the pool below the waterfall: "There are a lot of fish and shrimps and other ingredients here, and the grade is not low. You collect these ingredients, and when the fairy wine is brewed, we will use these ingredients

Make a meal to celebrate!”

Qiao Bai and Xu Ran happily went to collect ingredients, and Gu Zheng also flew into the water curtain cave.

The environment is very humid, there are many pools of water on the ground, and the water drops dripping from time to time on the roof of the cave make a "tick-tick-tick" sound.

There is nothing special around, just stalactites of different shapes. However, the color of these stalactites is all green, and they have all been contaminated by the poison of the Golden Toad Monster.

Gu Zheng was flying among the stalactites, exploring with his spiritual thoughts while flying.

"Huh? Not here?"

When Gu Zheng's spiritual mind explored a pool, he found that the golden toad monster that stayed in the pool during his previous exploration was not there.

However, the Water Curtain Cave is very deep, and the Golden Toad Monster is not here, but may be deeper in the cave.

After flying forward for some distance, Gu Zheng's spiritual thoughts had already explored the bottom of the cave and discovered the existence of the golden toad monster.

Gu Zheng came to kill the golden toad monster. The biggest purpose was not because it polluted the water quality. If it was just a problem of water quality and the water curtain cave was not at the source of the waterfall, he could go to the source of the waterfall to get water. He wanted to kill

The biggest purpose of getting rid of the Golden Toad Monster is because the Golden Toad Monster is a metallic monster. In addition to contributing metallic inner elixirs to it, certain parts of its body are also materials that can be used in weapon refining.

Gu Zheng originally planned to kill the Golden Toad Monster with thunder after discovering it, but at this time he hesitated because the place where the Golden Toad Monster used as its nest was too strange.

Gu Zheng had no doubt that the thing used as a nest by the Golden Toad Monster was originally an ore of an unknown metal. However, because the Golden Toad Monster squatted in it all year round and contained corrosive toxins, this piece was originally an ore.

The thing has been turned into a piece of metal by 'removing the essentials'. Moreover, the shape of the metal is very strange, like a stove!

There are two types of treasures in the world, one is innate and the other is acquired.

Like the Book of Life and Death and the Pen of Qianqiu Reincarnation owned by Gu Zheng, these are innate things, and there is no doubt about their power.

Among the acquired things, like the Tie Immortal Token that Gu Zheng had before, including the immortal-level space artifact that he has not completely obtained now, they are all acquired things created by man, but their power is also mediocre.

doubt.

The reason why Gu Zheng looked at the Golden Toad Monster's nest and hesitated was because the Golden Toad Monster's nest was also an acquired thing.

Acquired things are not only created by humans, they may also be formed by chance. Just like the golden toad monster's nest, its material is extraordinary, and the golden toad monster unintentionally 'fiddles' with it during its growth.

The fluctuations it now emits, belonging to an immortal weapon, are already stronger than the weapon refining furnace used by Gu Zheng today.

Gu Zheng hesitated because this acquired thing, the 'Golden Toad Furnace', was not a perfect thing. If the Golden Toad Monster were allowed to 'fiddle' with it any longer, it might even have the potential to become a top-notch refining furnace. After all, today's

It is already very close to a high-end weapon refining furnace. However, if it wants to change from the current quality to a truly high-end weapon refining furnace, Gu Zheng feels that it will take at least three hundred years to become a top-level weapon refining furnace.

If so, three thousand years may not be enough.

If Gu Zheng takes over the 'Golden Toad Furnace' now, the grade of the furnace will be finalized. But if Gu Zheng doesn't take over, even if he waits three hundred years to come back, God knows he won't be able to enter this immortal formation again. After all,
To be continued...
