The mortal self is the spiritual root of heaven

Chapter 60 Monk Remains
After killing the spiders in the valley and collecting the elixir, the two men repaired for a while and continued on their way.

In this way, the two of them walked for another half a day and finally walked out of the dark forest.

In addition to dense forests, what comes into view are mountains rising one after another.

The mountain was very steep and the two of them had to climb up.Because there are steep rock walls in many places.

The trees here are no longer as tall as the dense forest.

"The trees here are almost the same as where I landed before," said middle-aged Jinyi.

The two of them didn't dare to fly away because a group of big birds would pass by in the sky from time to time.As few as tens, as many as hundreds.And they are all first-level monsters, and there are quite a few second-level monsters.

Once it flies into the air and is surrounded by these birds, its fate is at stake.It's not that they can't be beaten, but after you kill this group, there will be the next group, and the more you kill, the more you will get.

The two of them climbed the mountains one after another fearfully.

Then I found a cave and planned to go in and repair it.

The middle-aged man in Jinyi took up the spiritual shield and walked in front holding the moonstone. Zhou Xun walked behind, with the Xuanming Shield spinning around him.

Both of them were very energetic and did not dare to be careless at all.Because I heard from Jinyi middle-aged man that the caves in this secret realm are often hiding places for monsters.

No one knew when a monster would come out from somewhere and attack them.

"Sometimes this cave is also a good place for treasure hunting!" The middle-aged Jinyi said with a smile in order to relieve the tense atmosphere.

"How do you say this?" Zhou Xun asked.

"Last time, your grandfather and I discovered the remains of a monk in a cave and gained a lot of benefits." Jinyi middle-aged man explained.

Zhou Xun nodded.

There are many monsters in this secret realm, but the risks outside are relatively high.Therefore, many monks habitually go into caves to repair their problems, and sometimes they are killed by monsters in the caves.

Also, after the monsters outside killed the monks who ventured into the secret realm, they brought their bodies back to the cave for preservation, so they also brought their storage bags with them.

In addition, very few people know about this secret place.Even fewer people go out to explore the caves.

As time goes by, the chances of monks' remains appearing in caves become higher and higher.

Wanting to understand this, Zhou Xun also smiled and said:
"I wonder if there are any remains of monks in the cave we entered?"

Suddenly, a gust of fishy wind came.

I saw a blue-gray, sickle-like sharp claw extending from the cave wall, hitting the spiritual shield of the middle-aged man in Jinyi hard, knocking him over several times.

The two of them were shocked, and they didn't know when this monster sneaked into them.

You must know that as soon as they entered the cave, the two of them were fully focused and their consciousness was fully opened.

Even so, I still couldn't catch the signs of this monster before it took action.

Especially the middle-aged man in Jin Yi had an ugly look on his face, because the spiritual shield had been shattered by that blow.

If that blow had been more powerful, he would have hated it on the spot.

So the two of them quickly took out a defensive talisman and stuck it on their bodies to inspire.

Colorful light masks lit up on both of them, with as many as five or six layers.

The sneak attack monster lost its trace after one blow.As the saying goes, the enemy is not scary, the scary thing is the enemy hiding in the dark.People can wait for work and sneak attacks while you are relaxed.

"Master Chen, have you seen clearly what kind of monster it is?" Zhou Xun asked with a solemn expression.

"I didn't see his specific appearance clearly. I only saw a blue-gray sharp claw, sickle-shaped, with some barbs on it. When I came back to my senses, he was gone."

"However, judging from the blow it just made, it is at best an ordinary level four monster. The trouble is that it has hidden magical powers, making it difficult to detect in advance."

The middle-aged man in Jinyi recalled the details of the monster attacking him just now, and replied in detail.

"If it doesn't work, let's quit and continue on our way," Zhou Xun suggested. "Okay, let's look further ahead. There is a cave not far ahead. Once we get there, we won't be afraid of his sneak attack."

Next, the two of them arrived at the cave without any danger.

The cave is very large, dozens of feet in diameter.

Zhou found a raised stone platform and sat down, and began to look around carefully.When I just scanned the northeast corner, my eyes narrowed.I saw a pile of high bones piled up there.

Among them was half a broken human skull.

At this time, the middle-aged man Jinyi also discovered the human head. The two looked at each other, feeling sad that the rabbit had died and the fox had died.

"There really are monks' remains!"

The two men picked up their shields, carefully walked to the pile of bones, and opened them. Sure enough, they found two storage bags among the pile of rags.

The bones of the previous monks were carefully collected and buried with a pile of rubble.

Open the storage bag and pour out all the contents.

After counting, there are more than [-] spiritual stones and seven top-level magic weapons.

There are more than ten talismans, and I think they were used in the secret place.

There were five bottles of elixirs. When I opened them, I saw that they were all no longer needed. All their spiritual power had been lost.

There are still more than a dozen jade boxes, but the two of them don't give any hope. After all, even the elixirs have lost their spiritual power due to time, let alone the elixirs that were just picked.When I opened it, sure enough, there were only dead branches and leaves like dead grass.

There are also several jade slips, most of which contain common exercises.The two of them made a copy and divided it among themselves.However, the contents of one jade slip made the two of them overjoyed.

Engraved there is a partial map of this secret place.

The dense forest that the two of them had experienced before and the high mountain where they were now were all depicted on the map. The two of them continued to look down.Suddenly a fishy wind came.

"It's that monster again!"

The two of them ducked to the side and escaped the attack.Then he turned around and saw clearly what this monster looked like.

It turned out to be a mole cricket, only the size of a calf, but it was actually a peak level four monster.

The middle-aged man in Jinyi took out a cyan round mirror and played the magic formula. The round mirror emitted several cyan rays of light and shone on the monster.This monster's speed immediately slowed down.

"Quick, do it!"

At this time, Zhou Xun had also raised the Red Xuan Sword, and saw a flash of red light, and the head of the mole cricket beast fell to the ground, no longer breathing.

I packed up the materials on it and divided the contents of the two storage bags.The two continued to study the map.

"Follow the direction of the cursor and continue moving forward. There will be a grand canyon. The only way to pass through it is to fly over it," Jinyi middle-aged man analyzed.

"Flying from here is definitely looking for death! You don't need to think about it to know that there are countless big birds hiding on both sides of the canyon." Zhou Xun sneered at this.

Then they had to go around from both sides, and the two looked at each other.He opened his mouth and said:

"Choose a lake"

"Choose the swamp"

"I have been to the secret realm once before. Listen to me and choose the swamp," the middle-aged Jinyi said firmly.

"Okay, it's up to you," Zhou Xun agreed.

wetlands.

Two figures were running away frantically, and one of them was yelling at the middle-aged man next to him.

Behind them, there was a level five crocodile beast chasing after them.
