Chapter 451: Demon Cave (2)
Thousands of people who had already gathered flew up. Song Shi looked at his token. A 'Geng' appeared on it, which meant that he was in the 'Geng' team.
Following the direction of the token, he quickly found a team. The team leader was a chubby monk in a yellow kasaya. He was sitting cross-legged with prayer beads in his hand and resting with his eyes closed.
The other teammates waited quietly. Song Shi sized up from the side and felt an aura similar to the Acalanātha Body. It should be because they were all cultivators of Buddhist cultivation techniques.
He lowered his head and looked at the token. The leader of this team was the Mystic Light Saint. He was at the Void Refinement Realm and was on the same level as the Vajra Saint.
Suddenly, the fiery red ship entered the void, and Song Shi could no longer feel any Spiritual Qi.
The Mystic Light Saint opened his eyes and smiled, "We're patrolling some of the demon caves in the northern battlefield. These are the spirit stones provided in advance. Take them yourself and pay attention to the consumption and recovery of your Dharma Power."
He explained the situation and raised his hand to distribute the bags of spirit stones. After Song Shi received them, he realized that there were three hundred of them. If he used them normally, it would be enough for them to last for half a year.
Song Shi was in need of this thing. He sat at the side and began to cultivate. He was not afraid of the risks he was about to face.
The Mystic Light Saint saw his situation and smiled gently. "He's quite carefree."
"Is this kid the one that the Vajra Saint brought back? Why is he here?"
The Heaven Patrolling Guards of the same level looked over in astonishment.
"That's him. As for why he came to the more dangerous special mission, I'm not sure."
Song Shi's unique background also attracted the attention of True Saints and was the topic of discussion by many Heaven Patrolling Guards.
For a new Heaven Patrolling Guard to choose such a dangerous special mission on his first patrol, the other cultivators could not help but feel strange or even suspicious of him.
After Zhang Yili found out about Song Shi's background, he waited for Song Shi to stop cultivating and took the initiative to say, "Brother Song, you're really awesome. Everyone here came because they had no choice, but you chose to participate as soon as you joined."
"So be it. I don't believe I'll encounter danger on my first try."
Song Shi did not care. No matter how dangerous patrolling the demon cave was, it would only kill him at worst. What was there to be afraid of?
"I hope so."
Zhang Yili was speechless. This kid was so naive. When the time came, he would understand how dangerous it was.
The fiery red ship's light became more and more obvious as it gradually entered the dark void. It was like a lamp moving forward in the night.
A deathly and cold aura surged over and the entire ship fell silent again. It seemed a little oppressive.
Song Shi looked into the distance. After the light emitted by the ship spread for thousands of meters, it was drowned by a circle of darkness.
The further it went, the dimmer the light became. Song Shi felt bored as he watched and continued to close his eyes to cultivate.
Half an hour later, the Great Saint Hellfire's voice sounded, "We're here. Start patrolling according to the plan. If you discover the demons, capture them alive first. If you really can't capture them alive, kill them."
Song Shi opened his eyes. In the depths of the dark void, there were purple-black holes floating. They were deep and seemingly endless. They were more than ten thousand feet wide, and there were hundreds of them.
How was this a hole? It was even larger than a sinkhole. The interior space must be very vast. No wonder so many people were here to patrol. The demons could definitely hide inside and scheme against them.
"Let's go."
The Mystic Light Saint stood up and swung the prayer beads in his hand. They lit up and floated under his feet, turning into a flying Dharma treasure.
He pressed his palms together and stepped on the prayer beads and Dharma treasures. His entire body looked dignified, and a circle of pure white Buddhist light appeared behind his head, making him look like a bright Buddha.
"Amitabha, let's go. Let's finish exploring the first demon cave as soon as possible."
The Mystic Light Saint flew towards one of the demon caves. The hundred Heaven Patrolling Guards in Song Shi's team moved. Amidst the colorful Dharma treasure light, everyone used their various methods to fly up and follow behind, constantly approaching a purple-black demon cave.
Song Shi did not have any Dharma treasures, so he used his Dharma Power to fly. This was rather taxing. Zhang Yili was surprised. "Brother Song, don't you have any Dharma treasures?"
"Yes I do, but they're not flying Dharma treasures."
Song Shi patted the Immortal Binding Rope at his waist.
"Just one?"
Zhang Yili was stunned. "You don't even have defensive Dharma treasures?"
"…"
Song Shi really did not have any.
He shook his head. "My Dharma treasures are too powerful and high-level. I'm afraid I'll scare you all if I take it out."
"Haha, this person is quite interesting."
"I don't think he has any Dharma treasures. After all, he just ascended. What Dharma treasures can he have?"
"Wasn't he swallowed by the Demon Refinement Path? His Dharma treasures were probably destroyed."
The surrounding people could not help but tease him, making the originally oppressive atmosphere a little more relaxed.
Song Shi retorted, "Don't sprout nonsense. I just have no need to use one."
As he spoke, his Void Divine Body emitted light, and his entire body moved forward in the void like a fish.
This time, with Dharma Power, his Void Divine Body could unleash its power. Even without using Dharma treasures, he could still walk like it was flat ground.
Everyone was surprised. They did not expect him to have such a method.
"Quiet."
The Mystic Light Saint berated. He stared at the black hole in the distance and was sensing the situation inside.
Song Shi shut up and started drawing his lottery.
He felt that he had to acquire some Dharma treasures from the system. Otherwise, he would look too shabby.
Now that he was extremely poor, he could only obtain Dharma treasures through the lottery.
"Ding… congratulations on drawing one hundred supreme-grade spirit stones."
Song Shi saw that the item he had drawn was still useful even though it was not a Dharma treasure.
"Continue drawing. I only need one Dharma treasure."
He obtained a stalk of spiritual medicine for the second draw.
Before the third draw, something abnormal happened.
"Be careful. There are spatial blades in the demon cave."
The Mystic Light Saint reminded loudly. At the same time, the void in front of him twisted and a layer of light appeared, blocking the grayish-black blade-like things.
Song Shi was envious. This thing was very dangerous. It was a special attack condensed from the power of the void. It should be able to kill him easily.
But it wasn't good to court death in front of so many people, he couldn't be bothered to explain why he could keep reviving.
"This is troublesome. There are actually spatial blades. They are definitely left behind by the demons on purpose."
Zhang Yili said emotionally, "We hit the jackpot. The moment we arrived, we encountered a demon cave with demons."
Song Shi did not say anything. He watched seriously as the Mystic Light Saint mobilized the space to block the spatial blades in front of him with a raise of his hand and sensed the mysteries of the Void Refinement True Saint.
As the name suggested, the Void Refinement Realm was the level of refining the void. One could use the power of space and their strength would far exceed that of Soul Transformation cultivators.
He raised his hand and clenched it. He activated the methods in the Void Sutra and distorted the void. He could also easily use the power of the void to defend or attack, but he could not compare to Mystic Light Saint.
"The further you go, the more you have to comprehend the power of Heaven and Earth if you want to break through. It's not easy to accumulate strength to break through."
Song Shi thought to himself as he seriously observed how the Mystic Light Saint dealt with the spatial attacks from all directions.
The other Heaven Patrolling Guards could only hide at the back, not daring to rashly touch it. At the same time, they were vigilant of their surroundings to avoid being ambushed.
"Ah!"
A cultivator suddenly screamed. Half of his body was cut off by something and completely disappeared, leaving only blood spewing.
The surrounding cultivators' expressions turned cold as they hurriedly stopped and activated their defensive methods to the maximum.
"It's a spatial crack. Slow down. The spatial power here is very strong. It's very difficult for my body to block it."
After Mystic Light reminded them, their bodies lit up brightly, illuminating the surroundings. Then, everyone was shocked to discover that their surroundings were filled with spiderweb-like lines.
There were many of these lines, and one of them cut off half of a cultivator's body.
Everyone was shocked. They had not realized that there were so many spatial cracks here.
These cracks were extremely thin and could cut through their bodies like the sharpest weapons. Moreover, they were very difficult to detect.
"Saint, did this happen naturally, or did the demons do it on purpose?" Zhang Yili asked nervously.
"I can't tell, but with so many spatial cracks, this place is very safe for the Demon Race which is familiar with this place." Mystic Light Saint said meaningfully.
All the cultivators shivered. This was not only the most dangerous place for the cultivators, but also the safest place for the demons who were familiar with it.
"Be careful not to be swallowed by the spatial rift. The spatial changes in this spatial rift are very violent. It's very difficult to escape after being swallowed. You don't even know where you've been thrown."
As soon as he reminded them, a crack suddenly expanded and swallowed an unlucky fellow.
As space twisted, the latter disappeared as soon as he entered, as if he had fallen into the endless void.
The other members broke out in cold sweat and quickly dodged, but Song Shi was rather envious.
If it were him, he would be able to leave right away. When he returned, he would say that he had been thrown not far away.
Song Shi looked on regretfully and hurriedly used the methods from the Void Sutra to probe the surroundings. When he sensed the fluctuations in the crack beside him, his eyes lit up and he deliberately walked closer.
