With the help of the airship, Zhang Lingfeng and his four companions finally reached the lair of the catfish demon queen.
The nest is deep underground, and it seems that if you go deeper you will reach the magma. The airship can only reach the entrance of the nest and cannot go in at all.
Secondly, sound fluctuations came from the nest, becoming increasingly stronger. Zhang Lingfeng and his companions saw many catfish monster corpses and several valuable airship wreckages around the nest.
There were even many corpses of Dharma-image warriors.
Some of them were gnawed to pieces by the catfish monster, while others were sealed by poisonous mucus and stuck to the ground, dying in extreme pain and misery.
It is obvious that the venom of the catfish monster in the queen mother's nest is more toxic than that of ordinary catfish monsters. Even a Dharma warrior with a physical fitness of more than 100.0 may not be able to ignore it.
"Miss Zhou, you stay here and be careful of the catfish monster's attack. The three of us will go in and take a look. If there is any danger, we will come out immediately. You stay here to support us."
Xuan Yue said.
"Okay, hurry up, it's best not to exceed half an hour, especially Zhou Qiang, understand!"
Zhou Xiaotong reminded.
"understood."
Zhou Qiang was a little impatient, so he walked out of the hatch first and ran into the nest. Zhang Lingfeng and Xuan Yue nodded and rushed in as well.
Along the way, Zhang Lingfeng released mental power fluctuations.
The calls inside the nest become louder and louder as one goes deeper into the nest. At the same time, the structure inside the nest becomes more and more complex, with tunnels everywhere, leading to different places.
"Let's split up."
Zhou Qiang suggested.
"You'd better follow us."
Xuan Yue reminded.
Zhou Qiang is too conceited. This is the Queen Mother's Lair, not the entrance to the abyss, so it is easy to encounter danger.
"We'll meet at the exit in half an hour."
Zhou Qiang didn't want to pay any attention to it. He rushed into one of the tunnels with the loudest noise.
"What a fool."
Xuan Yue was speechless and could only follow Zhang Lingfeng and Zhou Qiang's footsteps. She knew that if they encountered danger, the three of them would stay together to form the strongest attack and defense power to ensure they could get out alive.
She and Zhang Lingfeng both knew their own limitations. They entered the catfish demon queen's lair not to kill the catfish demon queen, because that was a demon king that could only be killed by Ao Dagang and a seventh-level telepath working together. They just came in to help and increase their chances of winning a little bit.
He is not like Zhou Qiang, who is ambitious and eager for quick success.
Zhang Lingfeng was also speechless. It seemed that after he killed the catfish demon king who gave orders in the abyss of Base No. 7, Zhou Qiang had completely started a conflict with him.
He kindly reminded: "Zhou Qiang, I only killed two catfish demon kings. Are you so impulsive? Even if you are in the abyss and can't help, I won't blame you."
"What did you say, Mr. Zhang?"
Zhou Qiang was furious and turned around to glare at Zhang Lingfeng.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Xuan Yue also glared at Zhang Lingfeng and retorted: "Didn't I kill the catfish demon king? I killed two of them."
"you……"
Zhou Qiang was so angry that his hair stood up.
"I advise you not to be impulsive. If you want to make a contribution, just follow us."
Xuan Yue reminded.
Zhou Qiang was like a fool, and she couldn't hold back and wanted to say something back.
"If you think you can't beat us, don't follow us."
Zhang Lingfeng echoed.
Hurriedly ran forward.
"Yes, if you are afraid that you can't win, don't follow."
Xuan Yue provoked.
The two ran forward and began to clear out the catfish demon king's nest.
"Who is afraid of whom!"
Zhou Qiang was furious and followed the two of them all the way, ready to kill the catfish demon king in front of Zhang Lingfeng and Xuan Yue at any time.
"Crench!"
After a while, the screams of the catfish in the nest reached a climax.
Zhang Lingfeng and the other two saw that there were more than a dozen cave entrances in the middle of the nest.
There was a giant cave in the middle, and dense groups of catfish monsters ran out and rushed into three of the caves. At the entrances of the three caves, there were corpses of human warriors, as well as strong human beings fighting. One could even capture the fluctuations of mental power and release them from inside.
"They are in those three caves."
Zhang Lingfeng said hurriedly.
The three of them had imagined that the catfish demon queen's lair must be a hell on earth, but they didn't expect the scene to be so terrible.
"go!"
Xuan Yue took the lead.
She practiced body movement martial arts and her combat power was higher than Zhang Lingfeng's. She quickly rushed towards one of the caves.
Zhou Qiang was not to be outdone and followed closely behind.
Zhang Lingfeng also rushed over. Relying on their strong physical fitness, the three of them stepped on the head of the catfish demon king and rushed through the waves.
The catfish demon kings whose heads were stepped on by them had their brains turned into paste and fell down one after another.
Xuan Yue quickly rushed into one of the caves. She saw Shadow in the cave. As a hidden killing department, they were not only responsible for carrying out various anti-espionage tasks, but also assigned to do things when there were emergencies in the nearby areas and the Seven Star Alliance needed manpower.
Shadow's mission is to assist Ao Dagang and others in killing the catfish demon queen.
The invisibility technique was ineffective in a melee situation. Shadow's breath was weak and he was obviously injured. Blood was flowing from his hands and feet. He had been infected by the catfish monster's venom and was in an unconscious state.
Not all catfish monster slime can be resisted by relying on physical fitness. Shadow has not yet opened the fourth level of Dharmakr. Facing the venom of the catfish monster king, although he can resist it, he cannot be completely immune.
"what!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the cave next door.
It was Wang Dashan’s angry roar.
"headmaster!"
Zhang Lingfeng, who was originally going to enter the same cave with Xuan Yue, turned around and rushed into the cave where Wang Dashan was.
He vaguely remembered that Wang Dashan was seriously injured, with a conspicuous wound on his chest. The injury seemed to be under control, but it had not healed, and the situation was not optimistic.
Zhang Lingfeng was worried that something might happen to him, so he rushed in.
The first and second levels of spear power exploded, and the silver spear seemed to become a meat grinder, leaving the group of catfish monsters blocking the cave with nowhere to hide, and they were all killed by Zhang Lingfeng's spear in one move.
Zhang Lingfeng rushed into the depths of the cave with almost no effort, and immediately saw Wang Dashan, who was trapped in the corner of the cave and fighting a bloody battle.
Wang Dashan, as the principal of the No. 9 Middle School in Outer Ring City, is able to be on good terms with Zhuge Hou and even be on equal footing with Xu Songlin. This is due not only to his social skills but also his terrifying strength.
He is proficient in all eighteen martial arts. Although he has not practiced them to the master level, he has combined the strengths of everyone and can use various moves at will. Ordinary strong men with bone structure are no match for him.
Zhang Lingfeng saw that Wang Dashan’s clothes on his chest had already been stained red with blood, and blood was also flowing from the corners of his mouth. Behind him, there was a door.
It seemed that there was something important inside, or in other words, that door was the entrance to an important passage. He was guarding there to prevent the catfish monster from entering.
Unfortunately, there were too many catfish monsters, and they kept coming one after another, and he was already somewhat overwhelmed.
"headmaster!"
Suddenly a familiar and kind voice was heard.
"Ling Feng?"
Wang Dashan thought he was hallucinating. How could he hear Zhang Lingfeng's voice in the catfish demon queen's lair? How could he be here?
Is it possible that I am going to die?
Will all those familiar people walk before him like in the movie?
"puff!"
But before he could think about it, dense gun shadows appeared in front of him, knocking away the catfish monster kings one by one. Then the gun shadows came to two meters in front of him, and all the catfish monster kings flew out of the cave in the blink of an eye.
A familiar figure appeared in front of him.
If it’s not Zhang Lingfeng, then who is it?
"Principal, are you okay?"
Zhang Lingfeng said with concern.
"Ling Feng, is it really you?"
Wang Dashan leaned against the stone gate, the blade of the big knife in his hand had already twisted and curled. Those catfish demon kings who died in his hands were all killed by his terrifying physical strength and were severely injured by one blow.
"Crench!"
There are a large number of catfish demon kings, one after another.
Without waiting for Zhang Lingfeng to explain.
A group of catfish monster kings rushed over from behind.
"Buzz!"
Zhang Lingfeng released his mental power without even turning his head. Through his consciousness sensing ability, he captured that there were more than thirty catfish demon kings behind him.
The combat power values vary.
As young as forty or fifty, and roughly a hundred.
Although his 1.6 sea of consciousness power could not seriously injure them, it could make them feel like they were electrocuted and slow down a little.
"Whoosh!"
Zhang Lingfeng rushed out.
The power of blood and the wind of the five elements bless his footwork and marksmanship.
A dazzling spear light seemed to be released from the spear, locking onto the more than thirty catfish demon kings at the same time.
More than 30 blood arrows shot out, and the bodies of catfish monsters piled up at the entrance of the cave. Zhang Lingfeng returned to Wang Dashan's side, supported Wang Dashan's arm with one hand, and said, "Principal, we have to leave here as soon as possible?"
"What is your combat power?"
Wang Dashan was in disbelief. Zhang Lingfeng actually killed more than thirty catfish demon kings in the blink of an eye, and all of them were fatal with one shot.
What kind of combat power and marksmanship is that?
"Crench!"
The voice of the catfish demon king came again. Zhang Lingfeng had no time to answer Wang Dashan. He saw dozens of catfish demon kings rushing into the cave and their figures flashed again.
The power of blood and the wind of the five elements are flowing, blessing the gun skills and the body.
The second level of potential energy, which was already as fast as lightning and able to follow like a shadow, was forcibly raised to a higher level with the help of blood power and wind, as if it was the third level of potential energy.
Wang Dashan stared with wide eyes as he saw that nearly forty catfish demon kings were quickly killed by Zhang Lingfeng as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the cave. Some of their bodies blocked the entrance of the cave, while others fell outside the cave and knocked down the catfish demon kings that wanted to crawl in.
"The second level of gun power?"
"you……"
"No, there is also the power of blood. Have you become a blood warrior?"
Wang Dashan said tremblingly.
He felt like he was suffocating and couldn't help coughing.
"Thanks to Mr. Deng's good teaching, I finally succeeded in awakening the power of my bloodline."
Zhang Lingfeng did not hide anything and killed more than a dozen catfish demon kings who wanted to enter the cave.
With the three levels of power, namely the all-weather breathing ability, the all-weather body tempering ability, and the all-weather blood awakening ability, he seemed to have endless strength, his body was full of energy and blood, and his marksmanship was explosive and powerful. It seemed that even if the catfish demon king rushed to him, he could kill him with one shot.
This scene made Wang Dashan excited.
Unable to control himself, he waved his hand and said, "Come on, follow me inside and seal this place off."
He pushed open the stone door, and Zhang Lingfeng discovered that inside the stone door was an underground secret passage.
The catfish demon king can evolve into a human form. A powerful catfish demon king can even transform into a human form, hide the breath of the catfish demon, blend in among humans, and bring huge trouble and losses to humans.
Fifty years ago, this kind of thing happened in Nancheng. An entire class of martial arts students from the genius class were killed in the school by a catfish demon king who transformed into a human form at lightning speed. They were not discovered until two hours later.
Therefore, the lair of the catfish demon queen is not as filthy as imagined. On the contrary, the underground cave where she lives is like a palace. The walls are inlaid with precious things such as gold, silver, and jewelry that were snatched from humans.
The world behind the stone gate looks magnificent.
"boom!"
The stone door was closed, but there was a rock weighing 100,000 kilograms on top of it. It had to be lowered to block the stone door and prevent the catfish demon king from rushing in.
Wang Dashan simply couldn't let it go.
He originally planned to wait until he was exhausted, enter the back of the stone gate, pull out the mechanism, and let the rocks fall on him, completely blocking the stone gate.
Now Zhang Lingfeng is here.
The two of them helped each other, and under the power of the mechanism and the two of them, the rock finally slowly fell down and blocked the stone door. "Principal, the exit is blocked, how can we get out?"
Zhang Lingfeng asked.
"Master Ao can open it, don't worry."
Wang Dashan said.
"How does he open it?"
Zhang Lingfeng felt incredible. How could Ao Dagang break a rock that weighed 100,000 kilograms? He couldn't just blow it up with one punch!
"Use your fists."
Wang Dashan said casually.
"what?"
Zhang Lingfeng looked shocked.
It turned out to be the same as he thought.
"You are extremely talented, unparalleled in the world. When you become a spiritual warrior in the future, you will know how strong Master Ao is."
Wang Dashan coughed and laughed.
It was a surprise for him to see Zhang Lingfeng in the lair of the catfish demon queen, especially when he saw that Zhang Lingfeng had comprehended the second level of spear power and awakened the power of his bloodline, and his combat power had actually reached the bone realm.
With such strength, it is almost a foregone conclusion that he will win first place in the provincial examination and represent Jiangbei Province in the national examination.
Wang Dashan, who had a gloomy face, now smiled like a happy old man.
That’s right, after a great battle, Wang Dashan’s energy and blood were severely depleted, and even his Dharma image seemed to be drying up, and he looked ten years older.
As he walked, his body seemed to float, as if he would fall down at any moment.
"Principal, let me take you out first!"
Zhang Lingfeng could also feel that Wang Dashan's vital functions were severely damaged. His master had no more blood left in his body. He was able to continue talking to him, as if it was only by willpower, or a rare spiritual power.
"Don't worry about me. I'm beyond help."
Wang Dashan said with a smile.
Zhang Lingfeng is a telepath, and now he is also a strong man in the Bone Realm, and has awakened the power of his bloodline. He cannot hide his own condition from him at all.
"How will you know if you don't try?"
Zhang Lingfeng grabbed Wang Dashan's arm, put him behind his back, and rushed forward with him on his back.
We must leave this damn place immediately.
Wang Dashan did not resist, nor did he have the strength to resist. Seeing Zhang Lingfeng comprehend the second level of power of the spear and awaken the power of his bloodline, he seemed to have accomplished everything.
That will, that spiritual strength, is rapidly drying up.
But he lay on Zhang Lingfeng's shoulder with a smile on his face. Zhang Lingfeng felt a hot current on his back. With the help of his consciousness, he realized that it was the wound on Wang Dashan's back. The wound had already split open and the blood had already flowed out. Wang Dashan's vitality was bursting out from his flesh, blood and bones.
The heat that is being released comes from the fourth level of Dharma power of Wang Dashan’s skin, flesh, tendons and bones.
When the power of the fourth level of Dharmakāya was exhausted, it also meant that Wang Dashan had ended his life.
Zhang Lingfeng could feel that Wang Dashan's internal organs showed signs of repair and shattering, and there was even a residual smell of medicinal liquid, which seemed to be the meridian-opening liquid.
Obviously, Wang Dashan had collaborated with Ao Dagang to repel the catfish monster storm in the large radiation zone some time ago, and after making great contributions, he was rewarded with the meridian-opening liquid.
He wanted to use the meridian-opening liquid to awaken the power of his blood, gain strong vitality, and repair his internal organs. Unfortunately, his injuries were too severe, and even if he took the meridian-opening liquid, there was no guarantee that he would be able to awaken the power of his blood.
In the end, Wang Dashan failed.
Knowing that Ao Dagang wanted to clear out the lair of the catfish demon queen, he volunteered, wanting to leave his life here and contribute his last bit of strength to Nancheng.
What surprised him was that he could see Zhang Lingfeng again here, and he was the strongest Zhang Lingfeng ever.
"Whoosh!"
Zhang Lingfeng rushed forward as fast as he could. He wanted to find Ao Dagang. Ao Dagang might have a way to save Wang Dashan, or at least prolong his life.
At this moment, killing the catfish demon queen is no longer important to Zhang Lingfeng. What is important is to keep Wang Dashan alive.
"boom!"
A loud noise came from the front.
"Mr. Deng!"
Zhang Lingfeng saw Lao Deng.
As Xu Songlin's teacher, Old Deng is famous for teaching the blood awakening method and being able to help others become blood warriors.
Zhang Lingfeng's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Old Deng definitely has a better way to prolong Wang Dashan's life than himself.
So he carried Wang Dashan on his back and circulated the power of his blood and the wind of the five elements, infusing them into his feet. It seemed as if his feet were surrounded by cyclones, and he rushed towards Lao Deng like an arrow.
"Mr. Deng, save Principal Wang!"
he shouted.
His combat power value of the Bone Realm and physical fitness of 136.2 made his voice as loud as thunder, which scared Old Deng. Like Wang Dashan, he thought he was hallucinating.
He looked up and found that in a passage, Zhang Lingfeng was rushing out with a figure on his back, waving the spear in his hand, and quickly knocked away the catfish demon kings in front of him.
The shadows of gunfire were dense.
The power is surging.
Like a prehistoric beast, it rushed towards him with overwhelming force. The swarm of catfish demon kings, who were eager to tear him into pieces, were instantly diverted.
But before they could start barking at Zhang Lingfeng.
Zhang Lingfeng shuttled through them at lightning speed. Wherever he passed, blood spurted out and gun shadows sprayed out from Zhang Lingfeng's hands like a rainstorm.
All the catfish demon kings fell down one after another.
"This……"
Old Deng's eyes widened.
He saw that every catfish demon king was killed with one shot.
Zhang Lingfeng's spear skills seemed to have reached a new level. He realized the second level of spear power and followed it.
It’s only the second level of power, why is it so fast?
It seems to be comparable to the third level of power, penetration?
What puzzled him even more was that Zhang Lingfeng's speed was far beyond his physical fitness, as if some kind of power had awakened in his body.
Just as he was feeling incredible and full of doubts, he caught a gust of wind from Zhang Lingfeng's marksmanship, and saw a cyclone pushing him from Zhang Lingfeng's body and even his feet.
In an instant, the wind in this world seemed to resonate with Zhang Lingfeng's body, pouring all its strength into Zhang Lingfeng, making Zhang Lingfeng's speed reach the extreme.
"wind?"
"The power of blood?"
"Five Elements Wind!"
Old Deng felt like he was electrocuted.
Zhang Lingfeng actually awakened the power of his bloodline. Although it was only a primary bloodline, it made him feel suffocated. You have to know how long it has been.
It took less than a month.
He vaguely remembered that when Xu Songlin and Ao Dagang found him, they asked him to help Zhang Lingfeng lay the foundation for awakening his bloodline, and after the provincial examination, help Zhang Lingfeng awaken the power of his bloodline.
As a result, Zhang Lingfeng made jokes in class and even went to the hospital to stay, trying to blackmail him and not taking him seriously at all, which made him so angry that he jumped up and down. If it weren't for Zhuge Hou's repeated persuasion, he would have cut Zhang Lingfeng into pieces.
Although Zhang Lingfeng came to the two-hour class every day later, with that attitude of practice, he didn't believe that Zhang Lingfeng could awaken the power of his bloodline.
He even contacted Xu Songlin and Ao Dagang, telling them that they should select a new person to represent Nancheng. If someone like Zhang Lingfeng represented Nancheng, Nancheng would only become a laughing stock.
As a result, his original intention was only to help Zhang Lingfeng lay the foundation for awakening his bloodline, but he saw that Zhang Lingfeng, without much practice and even resisting practice, awakened the power of his bloodline in less than a month and became a bloodline warrior.
If Old Deng was not an expert in this field, he would not have been able to sense that Zhang Lingfeng's bloodline was steady and powerful. He would have thought it was a superficial power awakened through genes.
"Mr. Deng, please save Principal Wang. He is dying."
Zhang Lingfeng handed Wang Dashan over to Lao Deng, and he protected them and killed the catfish demon kings that rushed over one by one.
He found catfish monsters everywhere.
In this queen's lair, even in the closed cave, there are catfish monsters living inside, but they seem to have been here from the beginning, staying here to block invaders.
Moreover, their combat power values are all over 80, and they have fully evolved hands and arms. They are also very particular about their living environment, and their living habits seem to be similar to those of humans.
Zhang Lingfeng actually saw rows of red wine and even cigarettes.
There is also a stone door behind Lao Deng. He guards here to prevent the catfish monster in the nest from entering and affecting Ao Dagang and others' plans.
When Zhang Lingfeng handed Wang Dashan to him, he was a little stunned, and then he came to his senses when Zhang Lingfeng called him.
He quickly checked Wang Dashan's condition.
In fact, as Xu Songlin's teacher, he and Wang Dashan had met and understood Wang Dashan's physical condition before. He knew that the medicine that he could buy within his current ability or exchange with points could not cure Wang Dashan.
Unless Wang Dashan awakens the power of his blood and repairs his internal organs through his own blood power.
Unfortunately, Wang Dashan failed.
After checking this, he sighed: "There's nothing I can do."
"Aren't you a blood master? Can you use the power of your own blood to save him?"
Zhang Lingfeng said anxiously.
He was also killing the catfish demon king to ensure that Lao Deng's treatment would not be affected in any way.
"No matter how strong the life force of others' blood is, they can't use it. If you absorb it forcibly, it will only backfire."
Old Deng explained.
He knew that Zhang Lingfeng was eager to save people.
"What's the use of blood power then?"
Zhang Lingfeng said angrily.
Most of the catfish monsters in this place had been killed by Lao Deng. Not long after, he finally killed all the catfish monster kings here, and the ground was covered with sticky blood.
"The power of blood can save me."
Old Deng reminded.
"Zhang Lingfeng, what Elder Deng said is right. You must practice well and work hard to transform your bloodline power."
Wang Dashan instructed.
He knew that he could not hold on for much longer. Seeing Zhang Lingfeng so worried about him, he was deeply moved. He hoped that his words could make Zhang Lingfeng change his temper and practice well in the future.
"Well, I promise you, but you can't die."
Zhang Lingfeng held Wang Dashan's hand and said.
"Haha, death is nothing."
Wang Dashan stood up shakily without fear and said, “I never thought that one day I would see you become a master of spearmanship and body tempering, and even reach the level of a warrior at the bone realm, and awaken the power of your bloodline to become a bloodline warrior.
Zhang Lingfeng, ah Zhang Lingfeng, you have given me so many surprises. With you, Nancheng has hope. We no longer have to worry about Nancheng becoming a war zone.
With your strength, you are almost certain to get first place in the provincial exam. If you can open the bone phase, then...hahahaha, even if you don't have the fourth level of Dharma phase, with your bloodline power, I don't believe that anyone can represent Jiangbei Province in the national exam."
Wang Dashan said excitedly.
Seeing that Zhang Lingfeng had such strength, he died without regrets.
"Principal, is it so important to take the national exam?"
Zhang Lingfeng asked.
"Of course it's important!"
Wang Dashan and Lao Deng said in unison.
Old Deng looked embarrassed and motioned for Wang Dashan to continue.
"The provincial exam is just a competition among the 52 cities in Jiangbei Province. South City won first place. Although it can get the attention of the seven major galaxy alliances, South City will receive more training resource subsidies.
But only the national exam is a competition held by the Seven Star Alliance. Although it is only a primary competition, it can be linked to the Seven Star Alliance. As long as you achieve a little bit of results, the training resource subsidies you get will affect the entire South City, and even the entire Jiangbei Province. "
Wang Dashan said with a pious look on his face.
"National exam, primary competition?"
Zhang Lingfeng was confused.
As the name suggests, the national examination is for the geniuses from all the provinces of the Great Xia Kingdom to compete together. I didn’t expect that such a competition would be just a beginner level competition.
But think about the world we live in, which is ruled by the Seven Star System Alliance.
galaxy?
What a distant and infinite existence it is.
If compared in this way, it seems that the national examination is really just a beginner's competition.
(In the new January, my lumbar spine has gotten much better. I hope I can continue to update this month. I don’t ask for much, I just ask you to give me monthly tickets and recommendation tickets. Please support me all the way. Thank you!)
