178 Chapter 178 Fire, Water, and Earth Vein (2/2)
Martial ancestors of 6 earth meridians have roughly 450 thousand kilograms of strength. But the moment they reached 7 meridians, xuanwu ancestor realm, it explosively increases to 1.5 million kilograms! More than 3 times than previously.
Ruo Shui looked really weak now but she just needed to use some strength, strangling slightly. Zong Shou would most probably die.
Looking around, Zong Shou shook his head. Out of these 2 people and 1 beast, only Zong Yuan could be of some help. Chuxue and Little Zhi would only burden them if they were brought along.
Zong Shou sent his Ying soul out of his body with a slight thought. That demon eye silver beast that had turned into a soul also rose up into the air. He transformed into a lightning Phoenix and flew north.
Not long after they arrived at the northwest point of this mountain range. This place was a really short mountain peak but it was really steep, both sides were cliffs. Hundreds of white apes were laid out all over the mountains.
Zong Shou was worrying. Why did this spiritual vein choose to hide in that white ape cave of all places? Why did it stay there and not move?
This place was obviously the base of the ape group, and the white apes that came in and out of here were much stronger. Their eyes shone more brightly too.
Looking around, Zong Shou shook his head, totally losing hope. There were no dead corners and no chance to avoid these bunch of beasts.
Just as he wanted to give up, he had an idea and thought about an item. Flapping his lightning wings, Zong Shou's soul once again flew up. However, this time he flew towards the lake where they said, wrapping up the few wine bottles within the carriage.
”That stupid brat, she actually drank 4 bottles of the wine. No wonder her body cultivation is far better than I expected. Why didn't I realize that she was such a drinker before!”
Flying near that hole, Zong Shou first split up and hid the 6 bottles of celestial brew and placed it a hundred miles out at a place where beasts found it tough to reach, in small caves or high cliffs. Then, he then opened up all the bottles.
After, he returned back near that short mountain to wait. As expected in a short few moments those white apes started to get anxious and swarm outwards. Even within the mountain cave on the left high cliff had ten over white ape running out. One of them was the biggest with golden tattoos on its chest.
Zong Shou smiled when he saw that, feeling some regret.
”I didn't even have a taste of this celestial brew, these beasts are so lucky. Who knows what the skill of that Miss Zhenru that Lei Dong misses so much. Unfortunately...”
A talisman flew out from the depths of his soul. After it touched the flat ground, a light wind blew into that cave.
Zong Shou waited quietly to confirm that there wasn't any huge enemy within. He didn't waste any more time and flew it.
The moment he entered, there were 3 slightly older white apes who stood up. First, their eyes revealed wariness, then as they looked at the smoke, they charged about without bother in the cave. They didn't have any hesitation as they roared, charging at him.
Zong Shou didn't care, that lightning tooth sword stabbing out from his soul, drawing several exquisite arcs and beheading those 3 grade 4 white apes on the spot.
”Seems like that ape king is about to advance and he has mostly mutated. It seems really intelligent, even when being attracted by the wine it arranged subordinates to defend the cave. It seems like I need to be a little faster...”
With his soul floating, he found where the vein was at. Zong Shou used the spirit absorbing pagoda and started to absorb it.
Within these 20 days, not only did he familiarise with that three mystery spirit reflecting technique, but he also became really good at this spirit vein absorbing technique.
He was using all his strength to use the spell, not bothering about soul power. In just a short moment, the vein was absorbed into the pagoda.
Zong Shou instantly felt joy and knew that he had succeeded in a large part of his initial xiantian cultivation. Once he merged with it, with a spiritual source in his body providing spiritual energy, his meridians would grow, and his strength would increase greatly.
At that moment those white apes showed no signs of coming back. Zong Shou has an idea and walked towards the depths of the cave.
”... any place where beasts gather would have many spiritual items. Although these white apes were group beasts, they may have some good stuff...”
Zong Shou used his soul to sense it and those apes were still tens of miles out searching like headless flies. He didn't worry anymore and flew deeper into the cave.
After, he saw a wide space. This was the deepest part of the mountain cave. No one knew if it was natural or was it done by the white apes. It was really huge and spacious. It spread thousands of feet. However, it was really messy, with fruits shells and beast bones all about.
Even with Zong Shou using his soul as a body, he could sense a really bad stench. However, after he took a glance at this area, he smiled. His eyes fixed on the east of this stone hall.
