immortal mansion

Chapter 16 Tranquility

Relying on a bunch of talismans, Mo Chen successfully rushed out of the market.

At this moment, he was very clear-headed, knowing that there must be evil cultivators outside to intercept him, so instead of following the crowd, he turned a corner halfway and chose to flee to the west in the direction of Tranquility.

It's just that he didn't expect him to be so cautious, and he was still overtaken by three monks wearing Zhang's costumes.

To make matters worse, one of the old men with ink hair also practiced a tracking spell. Even if Mo Chen relied on the Wanli Talisman to throw him away from a large distance, the other party could still track him with this spell.

These three people have been hanging behind, and did not attempt to surround and kill Mo Chen.

It looked like he was waiting for someone.

In this regard, it is not that Mo Chen has never tried to solve these three people.

The first is to hide in the dark and ambush, trying to send the old man on the road with a large number of talismans.

However, this person is very experienced and cautious, and he tried five times in a row but ended in failure.

Then Mo Chen tried to ambush the other two, but because of the reminder from the old man who practiced tracking spells, he was almost ambushed by the three of them instead, not to mention wasting a bunch of talismans, and suffered serious injuries.

Up to now, his right hand is still weak.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to Tranquility Ze, unable to get rid of the pursuers behind him, Mo Chen inevitably became anxious.

There are many monsters and beasts in Tranquility Lake, and it is considered a dangerous place for him.

If you can't adjust your state to the best before entering, once you encounter those kinds of monsters that are unique to the water lake, you will easily die in their mouths.

In the past three or four days, he has barely had a drop of water, and he is always in a state of mental tension. In addition to the trauma and blood loss, if it is not for the supplement of Jinxiantao, he may not be able to survive now.

Maintaining this overload state for a long time will seriously deplete the vitality of life. Once it exceeds a certain limit, it will even affect Mo Chen's future cultivation and entry, so the most important thing at the moment is to find a place to recuperate.

During the rapid advance, the surrounding scenery began to change.

Everything I saw on the way slowly began to be stained with a strange purple color. Whether it was soil or vegetation, even the mist floating in the air turned into a purple mist.

When one foot stepped on the muddy ground, there was a disgusting wet and greasy feeling.

This shows that Mo Chen has entered the realm of Tranquil Marsh at this moment.

It's not that he didn't know about this water lake before. He knew that several places must never be visited. Once he entered, he would die, and there was no other possibility.

But there is one place that he can take advantage of.

Although doing so will also encounter danger, it is better than being consumed by the opponent.

Thousand Touch Pool, as the name suggests, is a pool with many tentacles.

Tranquility Marsh looks like a swamp, and there are many land shoals on the surface, but it is actually a huge water swamp. Those so-called land shoals are basically islands floating on the water.

Maybe a certain puddle looks shallow on the surface, but under the thin layer of silt, there is a large pool of water that goes straight to the bottom.

The Tranquility Lake is bottomless, and there are several unique monsters in it, one of which is the spiny tentacles.

This kind of soft-bodied monster, whose strength is only a low-grade one, survived in the water body when it was young, and would rise to the surface when it matured. It usually likes to lurk in the mud of the swamp, and then quietly wait for its prey.

Its tentacles have blade-like spikes at the tips and are hollow inside to suck blood.

Once an ordinary monster falls into a trap, there is absolutely no possibility of survival.

The scary thing is that the echinoderm tentacle is also a herd monster, and usually likes to stay together.

As a last resort, Mo Chen can only take a risk and try now.

With the power of the Wanli Talisman, he quickly arrived at the area where Qianchutan was located.

The purple fog permeating here is even worse, and the sky above can no longer be seen clearly.

It is said to be a pool, but in fact it is a large muddy land.

A flying bird fell for some unknown reason. Before it hit the ground, it was caught by a tentacle that suddenly protruded from the mud, and then the tentacle retracted like an electric shock. What you see is an illusion.

When approaching the periphery of Qianchutan, Mo Chen began to be attacked by spiny tentacles.

At first, those who attacked him were all monsters that had not yet evolved into monsters. Their attack power was relatively weak, and it often took dozens of breaths to break through a layer of golden mask.

But as he continued to go deeper, the strength of the spiny tentacles he encountered became stronger and stronger, and almost all of them were first-order monsters.

The light mask formed by the golden light talisman was slapped by those first-level echinacea tentacles, and almost every breath, a layer of light mask was broken by intensive attacks.

The monk's defensive mask is not metaphysics. Even if the golden mask is shot with a bed crossbow, it can be worn out forcibly, not to mention the echidna tentacles whose strength has reached the level of monsters.

Thanks to Mo Chen's accumulation of a lot of talismans over the past few years, he was able to maintain it until now.

The three Zhang family monks who came after him saw Mo Chen being besieged by Ru Lin's tentacles, and one or two of them felt their scalps tingling, let alone chased them inside.

They don't have so many talismans that can withstand attacks from all directions.

"Second Uncle, what should we do?"

One of the younger ones asked the old man for advice.

Hearing this, the old man shook his head again and again. He couldn't think of any good way to do this, so he could only helplessly say: "What else can I do? The only way now is to wait until the third elder arrives. With his strength in the early stage of foundation establishment, if he wants to Breaking through these spiny tentacles is not a difficult thing to do."

The old man known as the second uncle is very clear about the weight of the three of them.

With the family attaching great importance to that kid, after knowing that they had broken the secret of killing the Chen family, the three elders in the early stage of foundation establishment had already rushed over, and they would definitely arrive within two days without any accidents.

At this moment, Mo Chen didn't know that a foundation-building cultivator was coming outside, and all his attention was focused on dealing with the spiny tentacles.

Facing the increasingly dense tentacle attacks, he had no choice but to resort to the crocodile armor shield to reduce the defensive pressure of the golden mask, so that he would not have time to activate the magic talisman.

"Hurry up, we will arrive at the center of Thousand Touch Lake in no time."

According to the records in the classics, there used to be a monk camp in Qianchutan. The ground there was rocky, and it was said that a certain Jindan monk moved half of the mountain from afar.

Therefore, even if there are spiny tentacle monsters there, the number will be extremely rare.

After all, all monsters are intelligent, and the spiny tentacles are no exception, and they will not foolishly struggle with stones.

Suddenly, the beating frequency of the tentacles dropped sharply.

When Mo Chen discovered this, he was immediately refreshed, and his speed increased a little.

After a few breaths, he landed in a building ruin.

"Phew, I can finally catch my breath!"

At this moment, Mo Chen actually felt lucky to survive the catastrophe.

"No, it's not time to rest yet. The helpers waiting for the three of them will probably arrive soon. The spiny tentacles may not be able to block each other. We should recover quickly."

Thinking of this, Mo Chen first inspected the ruins to make sure that there was really no danger, and then set up a few warning traps before he began to take the refined golden thread peach.

After eating three juicy spirit peaches in a row, the meridians were immediately filled with spiritual energy.

Not daring to delay at all, he immediately began to exercise and refine.

In the process of practicing, the exhaustion accumulated in the past few days was gradually dispelled bit by bit.

Jinxiantao is worthy of the name of its first-order high-grade spiritual fruit. Its efficacy is really comparable to that of elixir in the late stage of Qi refining, and there is no need to worry about the accumulation of erysipelas when taken in large quantities. Not a lot.

Now he has reached the threshold of the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Mo Chen had a hunch that he would break through soon.
