Chapter 362: The Flood Swamp (I)
"What are you talking about, Hongxi Swamp?" Zhou Ziru shouted loudly,
As we all know, the Yuanchi, Wudang Mountains and Hongxi Marsh are the three major dangerous places that are called the neutral zone. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoNow that he and Zhan Chen have just struggled desperately out of the abyss, but they have entered such a dangerous situation again, isn't this a trick of fate?
Zhou Ziru carefully began to look around, but he couldn't find any way out, and said uncertainly: "Zhan Chen, maybe this is not the Hongxi Swamp, is there a place where the Hongxi Swamp and the Yuanchi intersect?"
Zhan Chen took out the jade slip containing all the maps of the neutral region from the Qiankun bag, examined it carefully, and after a long while, handed the jade slip to Zhou Ziru and said, "It's better for you to see for yourself." ”
Zhou Ziru took the jade slip and looked at it too, but found that the Hongxi Swamp was vast and bordered by the Yuanchi Pond in more than one place.
I heard Zhan Chen say on the side: "Ziru, since we came from the road to heaven, it is very likely that we are in the location near the center of the Yuanchi in the map!"
Zhou Ziru looked at the map for a while before he called: "The place where the center of the Yuanchi and the Hongxi Swamp meet, isn't that also the center of the Hongxi Swamp?"
"Yes. ”
"So how are we going to get out?"
Zhan Chen looked around, this place was shrouded in a faint layer of mist all the year round, and even the sun in the sky became hazy under this layer of mist, so he said: "I think the best way is to go back the way we came, find the abyssal pond again, and then walk along the abyss pond to get out of the swamp, otherwise in this swamp, the fog will be thick all year round, and we will easily lose our way completely." ”
"What?!Do you want to go back to the vicinity of the Abyss Pond again?I don't want to go!" Zhou Ziru said angrily.
Zhan Chen spread his hands and said helplessly: "However, we can't think of any better way now." ”
"Then I have to go back!" Although Zhou Ziru was unwilling, he had to listen to Zhan Chen.
So the two of them got out of the tree, left there, and began to turn back and look for the deep pool again. Unexpectedly, this time it is going in the opposite direction, but it is getting farther and farther away from the direction of the abyssal pool.
After walking for an hour, Zhan Chen saw that the sky was getting dark, so he said to Zhou Ziru: "Ziru, it seems that we have to find a place to rest first." ”
Zhou Ziru sighed and said, "Okay then." ”
The two of them found a dry land and sat down, lit a fire, put some animal meat on the shelves to roast, and Zhan Chen also took out fine wine to drink with Zhou Ziru.
The wine was half-drunk, but Zhan Chen suddenly felt his spirit beast ring tremble, and he had to put down the wine and meat and release the little demon.
When Zhou Ziru saw the little demon, a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "Zhan Chen, I didn't expect you to have a pet, this is quite unusual, I thought that a person like you who is obsessed with martial arts would definitely not bother to do such a thing." ”
Zhan Chen said with a smile: "Ziru, this is not a pet, but a seventh-order demon beast. ”
"Seventh-order demon beast? no, I think it's like a pet!"
Zhou Ziru's remarks aroused the strong dissatisfaction of the little demon, and it couldn't help but raise its little paws, spit out words, and protested: "I'm not a pet, I'm a dignified seventh-order demon beast!"
Zhou Ziru was very surprised to hear that it could speak human words, and shouted: "You can speak!"
Zhan Chen was also stunned, and couldn't help asking, "Little demon, when will you be able to speak?"
As we all know, only the great demons above the eighth order will make some simple thinking and speak some simple words. But the little demon has just broken through to the seventh order, and he can not only speak, but also answer fluently, which is very strange.
A trace of confusion flashed in the little demon's eyes, shook his head, and said, "I don't know, when will I be able to speak." ”
Zhan Chen looked at her at a loss, fell into deep thought, the past came to his mind one by one, the little demon appeared from the beginning, showing all kinds of magic, constantly breaking through the limitations of the ferret's bloodline, constantly advancing, and also finding high-level elixirs for himself, and now he has learned to speak human words.
"Perhaps, I paid too little attention to the little demon in the past, she is not just a ferret......"
"Master, I'm hungry!" At this time, the little demon pulled his shirt and shook it, his eyes were staggered, and he looked very pitiful.
Zhan Chen came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Okay, I will definitely be full today!" As he spoke, he took out more than a dozen jade boxes from the Qiankun bag, which contained seventh-order and eighth-order elixirs.
The little demon was ecstatic when he looked at these elixirs, but immediately looked at Zhan Chen suspiciously, and said carefully: "Master, why are you so good to the little demon today? Are these really for me?"
Zhou Ziru saw that he was so generous, and also shouted: "Zhan Chen, aren't you crazy! You actually took the seventh or eighth order elixir to feed the demon beasts, don't give it to me, it's really a tyrannical thing!"
"Hehe, I'm happy today! The little demon is all yours, have a good time, there will be tomorrow!"
"Really?!" Many happy little stars suddenly appeared in the little demon's watery eyes.
Zhou Ziru, who was on the side, shook his head, thinking that Zhan Chen's brain was suddenly misplaced.
In fact, Zhan Chen had his own considerations in his heart, just now, he made a major decision, that is, to help the little demon upgrade with all his might, this matter may be an incredible and impossible thing for ordinary Martial Emperor powerhouses. However, now, for Zhan Chen, who has deep pockets, he has the ability to do it!
"Zhan Chen, you are really, why do you spend so much energy cultivating a ferret?" Zhou Ziru really couldn't understand.
Zhan Chen said: "Ziru, the little demon has been with me for a long time, and I have already treated it as a relative, besides, I privately think that the real identity of the little demon is not just a ferret, have you ever seen a ferret that can be promoted to the seventh order?"
Zhou Ziru couldn't answer when he heard him say this, it is true, the ferret is a low-level demon beast, and its potential is already the limit when it reaches the third order, but the "ferret" in front of him has reached the seventh order, but he still has to argue: "However, I think that even if you want to raise a spirit beast, you should choose a spirit beast that matches your identity and can give you great help, at least I can't see what skills this little guy has." ”
At this time, the little demon had already stuffed the elixir into his mouth and swallowed it, and he didn't even need to refine it, it was as simple as eating a snack.
When she heard Zhou Ziru want to evaluate herself like this, she couldn't retort angrily: "The little demon's ability is great, the little demon understands-master, it's not good! It seems that something is going to approach!"
Zhan Chen was halfway through listening to her words, when he suddenly said such a strange sentence, and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?"
"I feel like there's a powerful aura approaching us!"
"Powerful aura?" Suddenly, Zhan Chen reacted, and hurriedly took out the shark hunting sword to alert. But Zhou Ziru didn't believe the little demon's words at all, and still sat underground drinking and eating meat.
After a while, Zhan Chen noticed that the grass behind him trembled, and then he "swished", and a black shadow came out, rushing straight to Zhou Ziru who was sitting on the ground, and Zhou Ziru hurriedly stood up and went to the Qiankun bag to get the sword.
At this moment, Zhan Chen, who had been waiting on the side, attacked, and with a sword slash, he forced the black shadow back.
The two of them looked at it, and it was indeed a swamp arrow snake, this is a seventh-order high-level demon beast, although it is small, less than four meters long, and no bigger than the mouth of the bowl, but it moves quickly, and its speed is better than that of ordinary Martial Emperor Great Perfection powerhouses, and it contains severe poison, which is a kind of demon beast that is quite difficult to deal with.
And this kind of demon beast likes to sneak attack in a hidden way, and many demon beasts of higher grade than it, or powerful warriors, do not notice it for a while, but die in its hands.
This time, fortunately, there was a timely reminder from the little demon, and fortunately there was Zhan Chen's advance vigilance, otherwise Zhou Ziru would probably be bitten by the demon beast, and he would be poisoned at least and die at worst. In the swamp, danger is everywhere!
"Look at the move, the silent killing sword!" Zhan Chen knocked down the swamp arrow snake, and without waiting for its reaction, he added another sword to completely solve it, and then quickly took out the demon pill from its belly, stuffed it into the Qiankun bag, and turned his head to the little demon and asked: "Little demon, you are so powerful! How did you feel the breath of this demon beast?"
Zhou Ziru was also impressed by her, and asked anxiously, "Yes, how did you find that demon beast?"
The little demon glanced at Zhou Ziru proudly and said, "I relied on the smell and feeling, and I discovered the snake as soon as it approached." ”
"Feelings?" Zhan Chen wondered.
"Yes, I smelled a strange smell at first, and then I looked around, and I saw a black thing swimming through the grass over there. The little demon further explained.
Zhan Chen looked at the grass where the swamp arrow snake came from, but unfortunately what he saw was a pile of dense and impermeable weeds, which seemed deeper and deeper against the backdrop of the night, and it was impossible to perceive the situation in the middle of the grass, but the little demon said that he could see it.
From this, he recalled that once, the little demon had also told him that he could perceive the situation outside the cultivation room in a completely closed cultivation room. This is not normal!
"Could it be that the little demon's ability to detect movements in such a hidden place is the legendary divine thought?" Zhan Chen was very unsure in his heart.
It stands to reason that the martial artist's divine consciousness can only be seen internally, and the external release cannot exceed the distance of one meter near the body, unless he becomes an immortal, he can release his divine consciousness for a long time and observe the surrounding things.
But that is an immortal method, even the Martial Saint Great Perfection powerhouse can't do it, and for demon beasts, the same is true, even the ninth-order demon can't extend his divine sense beyond one meter of his body, unless it's a legendary immortal beast.
Is the little demon an immortal beast?" Zhan Chen looked her up and down suspiciously for a while, and immediately denied his ridiculous thoughts: "How is it possible? The little demon is obviously just a seventh-order demon beast, and its magical powers can never be the means of an immortal beast! I think those perception abilities may be a kind of compensation for its lack of means of self-preservation." ”
"However, these methods of the little demon may be of great help to us to survive in this flood swamp!" Zhan Chen seemed to think of something, and his eyes lit up with excitement.
Seeing that his master's expression was a little abnormal, the little demon pulled his clothes with his little paws worriedly, and asked, "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Zhan Chen reacted at this time, and as soon as he reacted, he laughed, which made the little guy at a loss, looked at him innocently, and asked in a low voice: "Master, did the little demon do something wrong again?"
"No, no, you've behaved so well today! I'm going to reward you well!" as he spoke, he took out more than twenty boxes of sixth-order elixirs from the Qiankun bag and handed them to him, saying, "These sixth-order elixirs will be used as snacks for you!"
"Great!" the little demon jumped up happily, as long as it was an elixir, she would not refuse to come, the more the merrier, took those elixirs, and began to feast again.
While she was happy to eat, Zhan Chen said on the side again: "Little demon, listen, I still have an important task to hand over to you tomorrow!"
