百炼成仙第四卷七星岛第五百五十七章阴阳怪风
"Po."
pū 。”
噗。”
A soft sound echoed as Lin Xuan casually released a fireball, turning the approaching small beast into ashes.
yī shēng qīng xiǎng 。 lín xuān suí shǒu fàng chū yī kē huǒ qiú 。 jiāng pū miàn ér lái de yī zhī xiǎo shòu huà wèi huī le 。
一声轻响。林轩随手放出一颗火球。将扑面而来的一只小兽化为灰了。
He had delved deep into the ice mountain. Initially, he thought this place was peculiar but unlikely to harbor any life due to its harsh environment. Even Lin Xuan himself had to activate his Nine Heavens Spirit Shield because of two conflicting winds: one extremely cold, almost freezing water; and another unbearably hot, leaving scorched marks on rocks.
rú jīn tā yǐ shēn rù dào le bīng shān zhī zhōng 。 yuán běn yǐ wéi zhè ge de fāng suī rán yǒu xiē qí tè 。 dàn bù kě néng yǒu shēng wù cún zài 。 bì jìng huán jìng tài è liè le 。 biàn shì lín xuān zì jǐ 。 yě bù de bù jiāng jiǔ tiān líng dùn kāi qǐ 。 yīn wèi kōng qì mí màn zhe liǎng gǔ fēng 。
如今他已深入到了冰山之中。原本以为这个的方虽然有些奇特。但不可能有生物存在。毕竟环境太恶劣了。便是林轩自己。也不的不将九天灵盾开启。因为空气弥漫着两股风。
The cold and heat alternated, merging into a strange equilibrium within the same space. Although Lin Xuan was well-traveled, he had never encountered such a phenomenon before.
yī gǔ jí lěng 。 jī hū néng shuǐ chéng bīng 。
一股极冷。几乎能水成冰。
However, this did not bring him any relief. Instead, it frustrated him greatly. This阴阳怪风 (yin-yang weird wind) was formidable; lower-grade cultivators might easily perish here. While Lin Xuan wasn't afraid, his mana was rapidly depleting due to the harsh conditions and the presence of several creatures.
yī gǔ què yòu tài rè 。 suǒ guò zhī chù 。 biàn shì yán shí yě huì liú xià jiāo zhuó 。
一股却又太热。所过之处。便是岩石也会留下焦灼。
Among them were some ordinary beasts that lacked any trace of demonic aura. In other words, they were just common animals. But underestimating them would surely lead to a heavy price. These creatures had sharp teeth and claws, and their bloodthirsty nature was extreme.
lěng rè jiāo tì 。 yīn yáng róng 。 què yòu tóng shí cún zài yú yí gè kōng jiān zhī zhōng 。 lín xuān yě suàn jiàn duō shí guǎng 。 dàn zhè zhǒng qí miào de shì qíng què yě hái shì dì yī cì yù dào 。
冷热交替。阴阳融。却又同时存在于一个空间之中。林轩也算见多识广。但这种奇妙的事情却也还是第一次遇到。
Lin Xuan once encountered something the size of his fist, resembling a bat. Some low-grade spells proved ineffective; it took summoning the beast's soul and unleashing countless demonic souls to finally defeat such an odd small creature.
dàn tā kě yì diǎn bù gǎn dào qìng xìng 。 fǎn ér qì mèn de jǐn 。 zhè zhǒng yīn yáng guài fēng 。 wēi lì zhe shí bù xiǎo 。 ruò shì děng jí shāo dī diǎn de xiū shì 。 hěn yǒu kě néng zàng shēn yú cǐ 。 lín xuān suī rán bìng bù wèi jù 。 dàn yě gǎn dào fǎ lì kuài sù de liú shì 。
但他可一点不感到庆幸。反而气闷的紧。这种阴阳怪风。威力着实不小。若是等级稍低点的修士。很有可能葬身于此。林轩虽然并不畏惧。但也感到法力快速的流逝。
Such encounters were endless. Now, two huge strange birds appeared in his line of sight.
yóu qí bù kě de shì 。 zài zhè zhǒng huán jìng è liè de de fāng 。 jū rán hái yǒu bù shǎo shēng wù cún zài 。 ruò shì huǒ shǔ xìng huò zhě bīng shǔ xìng de yāo shòu yě bà le 。
尤其不可的是。在这种环境恶劣的的方。居然还有不少生物存在。若是火属性或者冰属性的妖兽也罢了。
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow. He had no mood for lingering over this weird wind. The constant mana consumption was draining, even though he replenished with crystal stones, it still wasn't enough.
piān piān zhè xiē guài wù shēn shàng yì diǎn yāo qì yě wú 。 huàn jù huà shuō 。 men bù guò shì pǔ tōng de dòng wù 。
偏偏这些怪物身上一点妖气也无。换句话说。们不过是普通的动物。
Exploring the ice mountain was necessary, but dawdling would be detrimental to him.
dàn ruò yīn cǐ jiù diào yǐ qīng xīn kěn dìng chī dà 。 zhè xiē shēng huó yú de jiā huo suī rán méi yǒu yāo qì 。 dàn yí gè gè yá jiān zhǎo lì 。 shì xuè hào dòu yǐ jí 。
但若因此就掉以轻心肯定吃大。这些生活于的家伙虽然没有妖气。但一个个牙尖爪利。嗜血好斗以极。
With a wave of his sleeve, the Drifting Cloud Snowfall Sword emerged. Two streaks of blue light separated from its blade.
lín xuān céng jīng yù jiàn yī quán tou dà xiǎo 。 xiàng biān fú lèi de dōng xī 。 yī xiē dī jiē de fǎ shù jìng rán méi yǒu xiào guǒ 。 zuì hòu hái yuè ér jiāng shòu hún jì chū 。 wàn qiān yāo hún yī yōng ér shàng 。 cái jiāng zhè zhǒng gǔ guài de xiǎo shòu jiě jué le 。
林轩曾经遇见一拳头大小。像蝙蝠类的东西。一些低阶的法术竟然没有效果。最后还月儿将兽魂祭出。万千妖魂一拥而上。才将这种古怪的小兽解决了。
"Go."
xiàng zhè zhǒng zāo yù kě shuō céng chū bù qióng 。 cǐ shí yòu liǎng zhǐ jù dà de guài niǎo 。 chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn zhōng 。
像这种遭遇可说层出不穷。此时又两只巨大的怪鸟。出现在了视线中。
Lin Xuan pointed and two beams of light shot out like a rainbow, slicing through the sky.
lín xuān méi shāo yī tiāo 。 tā kě méi yǒu xīn qíng zài zhè ér màn màn jiū chán nà yīn yáng guài fēng bù tíng de ràng fǎ lì xiāo hào suī rán lín xuān wò jīng shí bǔ chōng 。 jiù shì rù bù fū chū 。
林轩眉梢一挑。他可没有心情在这儿慢慢纠缠那阴阳怪风不停的让法力消耗虽然林轩握晶石补充。旧是入不敷出。
"Gah."
bīng shān yào tàn suǒ 。 dàn mó cèng xiǎn rán duì zì jǐ méi yǒu hǎo chù 。
冰山要探索。但磨蹭显然对自己没有好处。
The strange birds emitted a hoarse cry, flapping their wings wildly to dodge the attack.
lín xuān xiù páo yī fú 。 piāo yún luò xuě jiàn yóu ér chū 。 jiàn shēn qīng chàn liǎng dào lán sè de jiàn guāng cóng shàng miàn fēn lí chū lái 。
林轩袖袍一拂。飘云落雪剑游而出。剑身轻颤两道蓝色的剑光从上面分离出来。
Lin Xuan was taken aback. At three-stage demon beasts, such speed was normal. But these were ordinary birds.
“ qù 。”
“去。”
His eyes narrowed as a faint smile played on his lips, though his expression remained icy cold.
lín xuān yì diǎn zhǐ liǎng dào guāng shì ruò jīng hóng 。_, yǔ huá guò tiān kōng de chà bu duō 。
林轩一点指两道光势若惊虹。_,与划过天空的差不多。
Seeing the birds approaching, Lin Xuan didn't panic. He summoned a large ball of pitch-black demonic energy in his palm.
“ gā 。”
“嘎。”
As the strange birds neared, he raised his right hand and the demonic energy surged and expanded, transforming into a thick double-headed python.
guài niǎo fā chū yī shēng shā yǎ ér nán tīng de míng jiào 。 chì bǎng kuáng shàn shēn tǐ wēi cè 。 jū rán duǒ le kāi lái 。
怪鸟发出一声沙哑而难听的鸣叫。翅膀狂扇身体微侧。居然躲了开来。
The strange birds' cries abruptly stopped as they were bitten by the giant snake's neck. The creatures transformed into skeletons due to the strong corrosive effect of the demonic energy.
lín xuān yǒu xiē è rán 。 ruò shì sān jiē yāo shòu yǒu yàng de sù dù hái suàn zhèng cháng 。 kě liǎng zhǐ pǔ tōng de guài niǎo 。
林轩有些愕然。若是三阶妖兽有样的速度还算正常。可两只普通的怪鸟。
Lin Xuan remained calm but his eyes showed a hint of joy. Although he had mastered Yin-Yang Techniques, previously he would have struggled to perform such feats with two different types of spiritual energies seamlessly.
tā yǎn jīng yī mī 。 zuǐ jiǎo lù chū ruò yǒu ruò wú de xiào yì 。 rán ér biǎo qíng què bīng hán wú bǐ 。
他眼睛一眯。嘴角露出若有若无的笑意。然而表情却冰寒无比。
This was all thanks to Fairy Peacock. Had it not been for her kiss-induced encounter, he wouldn't have advanced to Pill后期 (Pill Later Stage) and undergone a golden core transformation, allowing him to perfectly convert both types of spiritual energy.
jiàn duì fāng xiàng zì jǐ pū lái 。 lín xuān yì diǎn yě huāng luàn shēn chū yòu yī dà tuán qī rú mò de mó qì zài zhǎng xīn zhōng yǒng xiàn le qǐ lái 。
见对方像自己扑来。林轩一点也慌乱伸出右一大团漆如墨的魔气在掌心中涌现了起来。
However, Lin Xuan's momentary elation quickly faded as he regained his sharpness. He looked at the two dead birds and suddenly had an idea.
yǎn jiàn guài niǎo yǐ jǐn zài zhǐ chǐ 。 lín xuān yòu shǒu wēi yáng mó qì měng fān yǒng péng zhàng 。 huàn huà wèi le yī tóu shuǐ tǒng cū xì de shuāng tóu guài mǎng 。
眼见怪鸟已尽在咫尺。林轩右手微扬魔气猛翻涌膨胀。幻化为了一头水桶粗细的双头怪蟒。
He waved his hand, beckoning the bird carcasses closer.
guài niǎo de jiào shēng gā rán ér zhǐ 。 bèi jù mǎng yī kǒu yǎo zhù le jǐng xiàng 。 cǐ mó qì huàn huà chū lái de shēng wù 。 jù yǒu qiáng liè de fǔ shí xiào guǒ 。 bù xiāo yī shí sān kè 。 liǎng zhǐ guài niǎo jiù huà wèi gǔ jià le 。
怪鸟的叫声嘎然而止。被巨蟒一口咬住了颈项。此魔气幻化出来的生物。具有强烈的腐蚀效果。不消一时三刻。两只怪鸟就化为骨架了。
"Po."
lín xuān biǎo qíng dàn rán 。 bù guò yǎn móu shēn chù hái shì liú lù chū yī sī xīn xǐ 。 zì jǐ suī rán shēn fù yīn yáng jué 。 dàn ruò shì yǐ qián 。, shī zhǎn liǎng zhǒng tóng shǔ xìng de gōng fǎ 。 nǎ néng zhè yàng jǔ zhòng ruò qīng 。 sī háo méi yǒu yì diǎn chí zhì de gǎn jué ？
林轩表情淡然。不过眼眸深处还是流露出一丝欣喜。自己虽然身负阴阳诀。但若是以前。,施展两种同属性的功法。哪能这样举重若轻。丝毫没有一点迟滞的感觉？
Two small red beads broke through their skulls and flew into Lin Xuan's palm, guided by some unseen force.
shuō qǐ lái 。 zhè duō kuī le kǒng què xiān zi 。 ruò bú shì nà yī wěn ** de qí yù 。 zì jǐ nǎ néng jìn jiē dān hòu qī 。 bìng qiě ràng jīn dān fā shēng biàn yì 。 cóng ér kě yǐ wán měi zhuǎn huà liǎng zhǒng líng lì 。
说起来。这多亏了孔雀仙子。若不是那一吻**的奇遇。自己哪能进阶丹后期。并且让金丹发生变异。从而可以完美转化两种灵力。
The beads were fire-red, about the size of a thumb, emitting faint glows. Lin Xuan released his spirit perception to scan them.
bù guò lín xuān xīn zhōng de nǐ yě jǐn jǐn shì yī shùn ér yǐ 。 hěn kuài tā jiù huī fù le jīng míng 。 tái qǐ tóu lái 。 sǎo le liǎng zhǐ bèi de guài niǎo yī yǎn 。
不过林轩心中的旎也仅仅是一瞬而已。很快他就恢复了精明。抬起头来。扫了两只被的怪鸟一眼。
His expression turned puzzled. These weren't demon cores, but they seemed not ordinary either.
tū rán 。 tā xīn zhōng yī dòng 。 zhe guài niǎo de shī gǔ zhāo le zhāo shǒu 。
突然。他心中一动。着怪鸟的尸骨招了招手。
Lin Xuan felt curious.
“ pū 。”
“噗。”
But this wasn't the right time for research. He casually tossed them into his storage bracelet.
liǎng kē zhū zi pò lú ér chū 。 bèi shén me qiān yǐn zhe 。 fēi rù le lín xuān de zhǎng xīn zhī zhōng 。
两颗珠子破颅而出。被什么牵引着。飞入了林轩的掌心之中。
A green glow enveloped him as the Nine-Spirit Shield became even more solid. Lin Xuan's figure slowly descended; the colder and hotter winds grew stronger as he approached the ice mountain's bottom.
huǒ hóng sè 。 yuē yǒu mǔ zhǐ xiǎo 。 sàn fà zhe dàn dàn de yíng guāng 。 lín xuān fàng chū shén shí 。 jiāng liǎng kē zhū zi lǒng zhào 。
火红色。约有拇指小。散发着淡淡的荧光。林轩放出神识。将两颗珠子笼罩。
Despite the dangers, he had no intention of giving up. With a wave of his hand, the Drifting Cloud Snowfall Sword whirled around him.
rán ér tā de biǎo qíng què biàn mí huò qǐ lái 。 xiǎn rán 。 zhè bìng fēi yāo dān 。 dàn sì hū yě bú shì shén me pǔ tōng de shì wù 。
然而他的表情却变迷惑起来。显然。这并非妖丹。但似乎也不是什么普通的事物。
Bloodlight occasionally flickered, but the fierce beasts could only pose some hindrance. Finally, Lin Xuan carved a bloody path to the ice mountain's core.
lín xuān gǎn dào yǒu xiē qí guài le 。
林轩感到有些奇怪了。
"This," Lin Xuan clearly recognized the scene before him. Even with his composure, he couldn't hide his surprise.
dàn zhè ér 。 kě bú shì yán de hǎo de diǎn 。 lín xuān suí shǒu jiāng men rēng rù le chǔ wù dài 。
但这儿。可不是研的好的点。林轩随手将们扔入了储物袋。
At first glance, this appeared to be an enormous lava hall, irregularly oval-shaped. The smoke and fog obscured the view of the volcano's mouth.
hún shēn qīng guāng yī shǎn 。 jiǔ líng dùn biàn de yuè fā de níng hòu le qǐ lái 。 lín xuān de shēn xíng huǎn huǎn xià jiàng 。 yuè jiē jìn bīng shān de dǐ 。 nà liǎng gǔ lěng rè guài fēng jiù chuī de yuè měng 。
浑身青光一闪。九灵盾变的越发的凝厚了起来。林轩的身形缓缓下降。越接近冰山的底。那两股冷热怪风就吹的越猛。
The most prominent feature was a fiery pool occupying about ninety percent of the floor area. Boiling steam rose from the molten rock, bubbling continuously.
bù guò yǐ jīng dào le zhè lǐ 。 zì rán méi yǒu bàn tú ér fèi de dào lǐ 。 lín xuān yì diǎn zhǐ 。 piāo yún luò xuě jiàn pán xuán bù zhǐ 。
不过已经到了这里。自然没有半途而废的道理。林轩一点指。飘云落雪剑盘旋不止。
High temperatures were his first impression, even with the Nine Heavens Spirit Shield, he felt a burning sensation.
bù shí yǒu xuè guāng yǒng dòng 。 nà xiē guài shòu suī rán xiōng měng 。 dàn yě jǐn jǐn néng gěi lín xuān zào chéng yī xiē zǔ ài yǔ má fán bà le 。 zuì zhōng tā shā kāi yī tiáo xuè lù 。 lái dào le bīng shān dǐ bù 。
不时有血光涌动。那些怪兽虽然凶猛。但也仅仅能给林轩造成一些阻碍与麻烦罢了。最终他杀开一条血路。来到了冰山底部。
However, despite such extreme conditions, the surrounding ice walls remained unmelting. It was truly bizarre.
“ zhè shì 。” lín xuān | qīng chǔ yǎn qián de jǐng wù 。 yǐ tā de chéng fǔ 。 yě bù yóu de lù chū le jīng yà de biǎo qíng 。
“这是。”林轩|清楚眼前的景物。以他的城府。也不由的露出了惊讶的表情。
Apart from these anomalies, cold and heat, ice and fire, seemed to be the only special aspects here.
chū yī kàn 。 zhè jìng xiàng shì yī jiān kuān guǎng yǐ jí de róng yán dà tīng 。 chéng bù guī zé de tuǒ yuán xíng 。 tái qǐ tóu 。 yóu yú yān wù liáo rào 。 jīng kàn bù qīng chǔ huǒ shān kǒu 。
初一看。这竟像是一间宽广以极的熔岩大厅。呈不规则的椭圆形。抬起头。由于烟雾缭绕。经看不清楚火山口。
"Master, this ice volcano doesn't seem to have much," Yue'er said with disappointment. After all her efforts, she felt somewhat dejected without any results.
zài zhè dà tīng zhī zhōng 。 zuì wèi xǐng mù dì shì yí gè huǒ chí 。 zhàn le dǐ bù yuē bǎi fēn zhī jiǔ shí de miàn jī 。 huǒ chí lǐ miàn 。 rè qì yīn yūn 。 bù mǎn gāo wēn de yán jiāng 。 hái bù tíng de wǎng wài mào zhe qì pào 。
在这大厅之中。最为醒目的是一个火池。占了底部约百分之九十的面积。火池里面。热气氤氲。布满高温的岩浆。还不停的往外冒着气泡。
But Lin Xuan remained silent, closing his eyes as he released his spirit perception, scanning the area.
gāo wēn 。 zhè shì de dì yī gǎn jué 。 jí shǐ yǒu jiǔ tiān líng dùn hù tǐ 。 tā yě yǒu yī zhǒng zhuó rè de gǎn jué 。
高温。这是的第一感觉。即使有九天灵盾护体。他也有一种灼热的感觉。
After a moment,
kě zài zhè yàng de huán jìng lǐ 。 sì zhōu de bīng bì què sī háo méi yǒu yì diǎn róng huà de jì xiàng 。 shí zài shì yǒu xiē guǐ yì 。
可在这样的环境里。四周的冰壁却丝毫没有一点融化的迹象。实在是有些诡异。
Lin Xuan's eyebrows raised as he looked at the scene, his face showing a hint of amusement.
bù guò chú le zhè xiē 。 lěng yǔ rè 。 bīng yǔ huǒ 。 cǐ chù jiù méi yǒu shén me tè yì le 。
不过除了这些。冷与热。冰与火。此处就没有什么特异了。
"Master, what did you find?"
“ shào yé 。 zhè bīng huǒ shān hǎo xiàng yě méi yǒu shén me 。” yuè ér yǒu shī wàng de kāi kǒu 。 fèi le zhè me dà de lì qì 。 què yī wú suǒ huò 。 zhe shí ràng xiǎo yā tou yǒu xiē yù mèn 。
“少爷。这冰火山好像也没有什么。”月儿有失望的开口。费了这么大的力气。却一无所获。着实让小丫头有些郁闷。
Seeing her master's expression, Yue'er felt excited. But Lin Xuan still didn't pay attention to her and extended his right hand, flicking his fingers.
rán ér lín xuān què méi yǒu kāi kǒu 。 bì shàng shuāng móu 。 jiāng shén shí fàng chū 。 lái huí sǎo miáo 。
然而林轩却没有开口。闭上双眸。将神识放出。来回扫描。
A thick red beam shot out, flying several dozen feet before vanishing mysteriously.
piàn kè hòu 。
片刻后。
"Array formation?"
lín xuān méi shāo yī tiāo 。 yǎn jīng 。 liǎn shàng chū jǐ fēn wán wèi de biǎo qíng 。
林轩眉梢一挑。眼睛。脸上出几分玩味的表情。
"Not wrong. This array is no trivial matter; it has a layer of illusion covering it."
“ shào yé 。 nǐ fā xiàn le shén me ？”
“少爷。你发现了什么？”
Lin Xuan muttered, expressing relief. If not for the past three years of studying璇心 (Xuanxin), he might never have discovered this.
yuè ér jiàn zhǔ rén zhè fān biǎo qíng 。 dùn shí yǒu xiē xīng fèn 。 rán ér lín xuān yī jiù méi yǒu shí jiān lǐ tā 。 shēn chū yòu shǒu 。 qū zhǐ yī dàn 。
月儿见主人这番表情。顿时有些兴奋。然而林轩依旧没有时间理她。伸出右手。屈指一弹。
Yue'er blushed. While her array formation talent was no less than her master's and even exceeded his in many ways, she found nothing after a quick scan.
yī dào mǔ zhǐ cū xì de hóng fēi shè chū lái 。
一道拇指粗细的红飞射出来。
Realizing it,
sōu de fēi le yǒu shù shí zhàng yuǎn 。 què mò míng qí miào de xiāo shī bú jiàn 。
嗖的飞了有数十丈远。却莫名其妙的消失不见。
"Let's go down to see."
“ zhèn fǎ ？”
“阵法？”
Such places often contained array formations, potentially leading to unexpected fortune. Lin Xuan had no reason to miss such an opportunity. But as he prepared to descend, he sensed something and stopped mid-flight.
"Po."
A soft sound echoed as Lin Xuan casually released a fireball, turning the approaching small beast into ashes.
He had delved deep into the ice mountain. Initially, he thought this place was peculiar but unlikely to harbor any life due to its harsh environment.
