Chapter 126: Both Wounded
Chapter 126: Both Wounded
However, after searching, they could not find any trace of the evil cultivator. In fact, even without the evil cultivator in charge, the various methods he used were still working.
Although Tong Bingfeng had the upper hand thanks to the Water-Suppressing Spirit Tower and the Lightning-Attracting Talisman, he was still unable to end the battle smoothly and escape this undeserved disaster for the time being.
Under the capture of the second level of the tower, the skulls offered by the evil cultivator were almost gone. The entire spirit tower was shaking violently. Dense and pure Yin energy surrounded the entire spirit tower, nourishing it deeply. The remaining waste that could not be consumed was extracted into the third level.
The arrows, which were originally just empty shells, now possessed considerable power, with fragments of skull scattered in different locations, effectively increasing the overall lethality of the arrows.
"Fellow Daoist, are you ready to offer your body and soul for me to enjoy?"
Suddenly, a voice that appeared in Tong Bingfeng's ear brought him unprecedented shock and fright.
A stream of red blood had appeared beneath his feet without him noticing. The blood flowed upwards, forming a red outer layer that attempted to envelop the cultivator.
"They're all rather bizarre methods."
Although Tong Bingfeng was frightened, his hands moved swiftly. The third level of the Water Suppressing Spirit Tower opened its central door, and a yin energy arrow transformed into a stream of light and crashed into it.
The cultivator immediately retreated rapidly, trying to create a relatively safe distance as much as possible.
The water-controlling fork and the crystal gourd, two magical artifacts, were also recalled immediately and shot out from two different directions, left and right.
The one that reacted the fastest was undoubtedly the Yin Qi arrow from the third level of the Water-Suppressing Spirit Pagoda. With a flash of white light, a fist-sized hole formed on its red outer skin.
Furthermore, there is a layer of white bone fragments attached to the inner ring of the wound, which can effectively prevent the wound above the red skin from healing itself.
At this moment, the red-skinned creature had already reached Tong Bingfeng's front and leaped up to completely cover his abdomen. The red blood skin quickly eroded into the cultivator's abdominal flesh, attempting to completely merge with the cultivator and kill him with this unprecedented and bizarre method.
Under such circumstances, ordinary methods would be completely ineffective. If the magical artifact were to fall on it, Tong Bingfeng would undoubtedly suffer more injuries.
However, time was limited, and in such a life-or-death situation, there was no room for hesitation.
"You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub; you can't get a tiger cub without entering the tiger's den."
Tong Bingfeng took out another lightning-attracting talisman from his storage bag, and with a little magic power, successfully summoned it, and a bolt of lightning appeared once again.
This time, however, the target of the attack was not the enemy. Instead, under the deliberate guidance of the cultivator, a lightning net was formed and attached to its abdomen.
"It hurts so much! It hurts so much!"
The lightning struck her abdomen, and the pain was unimaginable. In just a moment, the aroma of roasted meat wafted from Tong Bingfeng's entire abdomen, indicating that it was already cooked.
Fortunately, under the restraint of the lightning, the red blood skin that was originally firmly fusing into the depths of the abdomen reappeared, and under the erosion of the lightning, it suffered more than 80% damage.
The entire blood skin was constantly boiling, and a face that looked seven or eight parts similar to the evil cultivator was moving back and forth on the blood skin under the erosion of the lightning power, with a pained expression.
"Since that's the case, let's perish together."
With his final moments of madness, the evil cultivator unleashed a barrage of crazed gazes, causing the remaining essence in his damaged skin to boil instantly.
"If you wish to perish together with me, I'm afraid you are powerless to do so today, fellow Daoist."
Tong Bingfeng forcibly endured the excruciating pain emanating from his entire abdomen. The azure pillar of light reappeared on the second level of the Water Suppression Tower, firmly suppressing the blood skin just as it was about to explode, and forcibly capturing it back into the tower.
At this moment, the power from the lightning-summoning talisman had also been almost completely exhausted. Not only was Tong Bingfeng's abdomen basically roasted, but his internal organs had also suffered collateral damage, with varying degrees of injury.
"This battle was a real loss-making deal. A large number of lightning-attracting talismans were used up, and my injuries are even more troublesome. The lightning wounds will take a long time to heal."
"I wonder if this evil cultivator has any valuable spiritual artifacts in his collection. If so, it might be possible to replenish our resources to some extent. This icy land beyond the law is more dangerous than expected. If we encounter this evil cultivator again in the future, we should try our best to avoid him."
After refining two first-grade high-quality healing pills, Tong Bingfeng endured the excruciating pain and walked step by step toward the location of the giant tree, the lair of the evil cultivators.
Although the battle is over, the spoils have not yet been looted. In addition, if there is a stable supply of spiritual energy here, it could serve as a temporary resting place after some modifications.
After all, although the methods of evil cultivators are strange, they still need a sufficient supply of spiritual energy for daily cultivation.
As they drew closer, a thick, pungent smell of blood quickly spread from the location of the giant tree, and various ruins and broken bones were scattered everywhere along the way.
Tong Bingfeng has experienced many battles along the way, and has fought and killed evil cultivators of different cultivation levels on several occasions.
Even so, the bloody and cruel scene was still shocking. He truly understood the meaning of the lawless land. These evil cultivators who hunted cultivators for cultivation resources could not possibly appear in the Ice Domain, which was guarded by a Foundation Establishment stage family.
"These evil cultivators truly deserve to be killed by everyone. If we let them run rampant, wouldn't even more cultivators suffer? This action can be considered acting on behalf of Heaven."
Tong Bingfeng surveyed the surroundings and couldn't help but sigh, gaining a deeper understanding of evil cultivators.
Half an hour later, Tong Bingfeng left the area where the giant tree was growing again.
Although Tong Bingfeng reaped considerable rewards during the entire search for spoils, he completely overturned his original plan.
Although there is a relatively abundant supply of spiritual energy on the icy land where this giant tree grows, it is impossible to effectively clean it up in a short period of time due to the rampage of evil cultivators.
Even the giant tree itself, with its accumulated flesh and bones, has undergone mutations from the inside out, making this environment completely unsuitable for normal cultivators.
If one remains here for an extended period, the cultivator's mental state will inevitably suffer some degree of negative impact.
Of course, Tong Bingfeng also found a simple map in the evil cultivators' lair that specifically recorded the lawless ice domain. The areas marked on it naturally included three trading points of different sizes.
As for other suitable spoils, there weren't many. There were no spiritual flowers or fruits at all. They only found four pieces of first-grade high-quality spiritual materials and one piece of blood-red, unidentified spiritual material, which were randomly piled up in a corner.
