Chapter 772: No Arrogance
After a moment, a reminder sounded in my ear: "You have gained some insights from observing the blessed land of the Red Dust Reflection Cave, and obtained the Sun and Moon Space in the Pot."
As soon as the voice fell, Xu Nuo realized that he could use his thoughts to open up a completely new spatial domain.
He recalled the personal systems or storage spaces that the protagonists in time-travel novels often possessed, but what he had obtained was the inheritance of the Gu God - a system centered on spiritual practice.
Here, there are only various magical skills and magical instruments and treasures, and there is no private storage space in the traditional sense.
Although the supplies we carry are not much at present, it will undoubtedly be very inconvenient if we go deep into the tomb to obtain a large amount of treasures and resources in the future and lack the corresponding space.
However, the sun and moon space in the pot that we have obtained now has a very special meaning.
It is different from ordinary container spaces of the mustard seed type that originated from Buddhism. It not only has a huge capacity and a self-contained cosmic system, but also has unique space-time characteristics: under normal circumstances, time in this space can be stopped, and when necessary, it can be adjusted arbitrarily according to the owner's wishes - it can both speed up or slow down the speed of external synchronous flow.
This skill is truly top-notch! Xu Nuo immediately realized its precious value.
Originally, I thought that if I wanted to obtain truly powerful spatial power, I would have to wait until I entered Kunlun to find the remains of the first generation Ghost Mother and extract its core components. However, I never expected that within this Bottle Mountain, which is shaped like a huge medicine container and contains the "world" in its belly, I, who have "astonishing comprehension", would directly obtain this supreme gift.
I was delighted but also felt a little surprised and lucky.
However, for now, the space is still an empty scene. Although it can serve as a basis for storing various items, everything such as mountains and hills, the sun, stars and even building structures still needs to be constructed and shaped by itself.
However, these are not urgent.
Next, Xu Nuo quickly sent some of the elixirs and other necessities he had with him into the newly opened space, leaving only the Panwang Bowl and the Po Yue Sword with him.
Then he led Chen Yulou and others into the palace area to continue exploring. As they went deeper, they could see all kinds of exquisite corridors and eternal lamps all around.
They emit a soft light that lasts for a thousand years, illuminating the entire building complex and adding a touch of mystery and ancient charm.
Not to mention anything else, just these eight-treasure colored glaze cups can be directly exchanged for precious treasures worth a lot of cash.
Although Xu Nuo didn't care about these things, the Xiangling warriors were very excited.
It’s not because the Eight Treasures Colored Glaze Cups are so expensive, but because the number is so astonishing, there are at least tens of thousands of them.
The larger the quantity, the higher the total value.
The Xiangling strongmen were jubilant, but Xu Nuo frowned.
Just now, Xu Nuo used the Queting Divine Eyes skill to scan the entire Pingshan hinterland and found that it was filled with strong demonic energy.
There seemed to be a cold and poisonous aura flowing in the dark corners of the palaces, pavilions, and towers, as well as between the cracks in the rocks.
The flower spirits in the team deal with medicinal herbs on a daily basis, have extremely sharp senses, and are very spiritual.
She soon realized that something seemed wrong with her surroundings.
In addition, she was young and inexperienced. When she saw the scene in front of her, she couldn't help but feel scared. She immediately shrank to Xu Nuo's side, grabbed his clothes and asked:
"Brother Xu, this place looks like a place for practicing Taoism and refining elixirs, not a palace of the dead... and the evil spirit here is so strong, it feels so dangerous!"
Xu Nuo nodded and said, "It is indeed very dangerous."
He comforted her again, "But you don't have to be afraid as long as you stay by my side." After hearing this, Hua Ling immediately relaxed, and like a follower, she stuck close to Xu Nuo and refused to let go.
On the other side, Hong Girl also saw Xu Nuo and Hua Ling.
The previous second she was still majestic, holding a flying knife and looking around vigilantly, and the next second she said tenderly that she was a little scared, and then stood next to Xu Nuo.
Chen Yulou and Queqiao Shao, who were in the distance, looked at Xu Nuo surrounded by two beauties and couldn't help but sigh: "Poor brother Xu..."
"What a pity! Brother Xu is so blessed with so many people. He is the role model for our generation!"
"Forget it, forget it. Who can have such ability as him?" Having said that, the two of them still shook their heads and smiled.
At this time, Xu Nuo had vaguely heard some small noises coming from the shadows of the surrounding palaces.
The sounds were as cold and dense as leaves blown by the wind.
Looking closely, one could see black things flowing on the beams and walls of the palace in the distance. They looked like black streams, but in fact they were swarms of giant poisonous insects.
One-foot-long centipedes, palm-sized spiders, colorful geckos, hideous venomous scorpions, and so on - not only were they bigger and more ferocious than those seen in the Pingshan Feng Temple before, but their numbers were also far greater than before.
This place is actually the nest of countless poisonous insects!
With the help of the medicinal energy and vitality deep in Pingshan Mountain, these insects have grown fat, strong and ferocious.
At this time, Chen Yulou and others were also frightened and gathered together and took out their weapons.
However, everyone knows that even a twenty-shot rapid-fire gun would be difficult to deal with a tidal-like sea of poisonous insects.
At this moment, Xu Nuo suddenly raised his shoulders.
The Chongming Gu on its shoulder transformed into its original form and instantly rose to the top of a nearby palace, spreading its gorgeous wings. Its tail feathers and crown emitted golden light like the rising sun, and its body expanded to half the height of a person.
It opened its eyes, its two bright eyeballs flashing with golden light, and it raised its long neck and let out a clear and sharp cry towards the surging swarm of insects.
The sound was piercing and reached the sky.
With this sharp cry, the entire palace seemed to tremble slightly, and the poisonous insects that were attacking in an overwhelming manner paused and their speed suddenly slowed down.
Chongming Gu inherits the bloodline of the Phoenix and has the ability to suppress poisonous insects, so the deterrent effect is significant.
The poisonous insect was suppressed in an instant, and its arrogance was completely gone.
Xu Nuo immediately shouted loudly, asking Chen Yulou, Queqiao Shao and others to enter the hall where the Chongming Gu was located first, while he himself stayed where he was.
How could Xu Nuo easily waste so many poisonous insect resources? After everyone from Xiling entered the hall one after another, he took down the Panwang bowl and began to chant the insect-attracting spell.
This golden-patterned toad Gu, with the blood of the golden toad, can be regarded as an excellent spiritual object for attracting wealth and treasure.
As the spell echoed, the poisonous insects in the surrounding area that had been stunned and still due to the Chongming Gu immediately became agitated.
Like several dark rivers, the poisonous insects surged towards where Xu Nuo was.
In just a moment, Xu Nuo saw a large number of huge poisonous insects crawling into Panwang Bowl. These huge poisonous insects immediately turned into black mist after touching the bowl.
Gradually, the black mist gathered in Panwang Bowl began to rotate at an alarming speed, and Xu Nuo, who witnessed all this, couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling.
After all, the number of poisonous insects contained in Panwang Bowl is terrifying. Every second, countless poisonous insects rush into it and turn into poisonous black gas.
You should know that the poisonous insects in this bottle are much more toxic than those in ordinary areas. This is all because they absorb the essence of many medicinal herbs in this mountain.
As time passed, when Xu Nuo felt that the number of poisonous insects around him seemed to have decreased, suddenly an unusual sound was heard, which made him immediately alert - that familiar feeling was just like when he faced the six-winged centipede before, which made Xu Nuo feel a chill in his heart.
According to Xu Nuo's memory, there should be only a fully formed six-winged centipede or other evil creature inside Pingshan.
But is it possible that there is more than one six-winged centipede in this space and time?
Obviously, the evil aura in the reflection of the red dust in Pingshan was much stronger than in his memory. The poisonous insects here were not only exaggerated in scale, but also abnormally huge in size.
The evil power and medicinal power in the belly of this mountain are far beyond the scope of the original world.
Based on this situation, it is not impossible that several demon insects of the same level as the six-winged centipede were bred inside Pingshan.
Sure enough, Xu Nuo soon discovered several monsters crawling out from the depths of the hall.
Two giant centipedes came into view. Their appearance was clearly that of the six-winged centipede. They were both over ten feet long and had a pair of wings on their backs that were similar to dragonfly wings. It was obvious that they had cultivated for about a hundred years.
The other one was even more peculiar, it turned out to be a toad of astonishing size.
The moment he saw the toad, Xu Nuo was shocked beyond words.
He had caught many poisonous insects, but toads were extremely rare.
According to common sense, although the toad is one of the five poisonous animals, its toxicity is actually relatively weak, and its real deterrent comes more from the disgusting appearance.
Although the bumps on toads are indeed poisonous, there are few fatal cases, and when they are used to make poisonous insects, the purpose is mostly to torture people.
For example, a person who is poisoned by the toad poison will have toad-like bumps all over his body, pus flowing everywhere, and tadpoles the size of peanuts vomited from his mouth. The process is extremely painful but it is not immediately fatal.
Because of this, Xu Nuo had never deliberately practiced this kind of witchcraft in the past. After all, he always felt that it had some "bad taste".
I never expected that a golden toad as big as a basin would appear before my eyes! The evil aura it exuded even surpassed the two giant winged centipedes next to it, and it was obviously not an ordinary creature.
Such a prototype of a top-grade poisonous Gu must not be missed! Thinking of this, Xu Nuo immediately raised his hand and waved it, and then the Chongming Gu flew out and went straight to the three demon insects.
The Chongming Gu naturally has a strong suppressive effect on poisonous insects.
The previous phoenix cry had already rendered most of the poisonous insects immobile.
However, there are still three poisonous insects that have already cultivated themselves into fully-cultivated ones, and they dare to continue approaching boldly, which naturally arouses Chongming Gu's rage.
Xu Nuo just raised his finger slightly, and in an instant, the Chongming Gu flew down from the top of the hall and landed directly on a giant centipede.
This Chongming Gu is one meter tall, with a wingspan of nearly ten feet, and a long tail, and looks like the legendary phoenix.
When it landed on the centipede's back, its iron claws quickly grabbed the centipede's pair of wings and tore them apart with great force.
In an instant, the centipede's sturdy wings were completely torn apart, causing it to fall from the pillar of the hall to the ground.
Although the centipede was in great pain from the suppression of the Chongming Gu's nature, it was still struggling and fighting back desperately as it was a matter of life and death.
