Chapter 998: Shi Gang's Secret
The topography of the Bitao Mountains is low all around and high in the middle, especially in the center of the core area of the mountain range, which is composed of eighteen steep huge ice peaks, each ice peak is as high as 10,000 zhang, and from a distance, it seems that a crystal ice sword pierces the sky, straight into the sky, and the momentum is magnificent.
Patches of snow-white clouds surround the halfway point of the ice peak, and from time to time huge birds haunt the clouds and the peaks.
Those huge flying birds are also a kind of spirit beasts, flying extremely fast, and with their wings spread, they can fly hundreds of feet away, and their bodies release a powerful and fierce aura.
They are condescending and open-eyed, and can easily spot everything on the ground.
Fang Bai's training team, when it was still dozens of miles away from the central area of the core area, had already seen the huge ice peaks covered by clouds and mist, and felt the coercion brought by those ice peaks.
"Those eighteen ice peaks are forbidden places in the core area of the Bitao Mountain Range, and they are also forbidden areas for human life. In the nearly 10,000 years since the establishment of our Bitao Martial Academy, no experienced team has dared to climb any ice peak, and at most, it is to turn around the periphery of eighteen ice peaks. ”
Huang Miao raised his hand and pointed to the eighteen ice peaks dozens of miles away and said.
"What a majestic ice peak! Ordinary martial artists, I'm afraid they can't climb it at all, right?"
This is the first time Hou Ziping has seen the legendary eighteen ice peaks, and he is excited and excited, even if he can't climb the ice peaks this time, after he returns to the Bitao Martial Academy, he also has the capital to brag and show off to his fellow disciples.
After all, it is already a matter of pride to be able to walk here and witness the majestic scene of eighteen ice peaks with your own eyes.
Huang Miao said: "It is said that the temperature at the peak of the Eighteen Ice Peaks is extremely low, even if it is a powerful bird, it does not dare to fly from the peak, otherwise it will be frozen in its wings and unable to fly." And human warriors, even if they are strong to the desolate realm, they can't resist the chill on the top of the mountain, and they don't dare to stay at the top of the mountain. A heaven-level realm martial artist like us is estimated to be unbearable standing at the foot of the Eighteen Ice Peaks!"
Liu Liehu listened to Huang Miao's words, as if he felt a chill coming, subconsciously shrank his head, and said: "In this case, let's turn around the ice peak, lest we get too close and be frozen into popsicles!"
"Tiger hunter, don't talk nonsense! If you want to say it, it must be auspicious!"
Liu Qingqing raised her right arm, stretched out a slender jade finger, poked lightly at Liu Liehu's body, and said in a coquettish voice.
"Got it. ”
Liu Liehu scratched his head and smiled.
The five of them were about to move towards the direction of the ice peak, probing around the ice peak at close range to see if it was possible to find any treasures, when suddenly they heard a roar of spirit beasts behind them.
"What's going on?"
Huang Miao and the others were startled, and turned their heads to look in the direction where the roar came from.
Even Fang Bai felt a little surprised, and his brows furrowed slightly.
The five of them walked all the way from the stone forest, although they also encountered some spirit beasts on the way, they all skillfully avoided them under the leadership of Fang Bai, especially within dozens of miles close to the ice peak, there was almost no trace of spirit beast activity on the ground.
Just now, when he saw the Ice Peak, Fang Bai also deliberately released his divine sense and probed the movements within a radius of two thousand meters, but it turned out that there was no spirit beast breath.
But what I never expected was that all of a sudden, the spirit beast that gushed out of nowhere roared and rushed towards this side.
From that roar, it could be judged that the spirit beasts that rushed forward were not only numerous, but also fierce in attack, and their target was also Fang Bai's training team.
The spirit beasts roared like thunder, and their hooves stomped on the ground as they ran, and the ground trembled slightly, indicating that they were rapidly approaching this side.
"Hurry up! You use your skills and head towards the ice peak at full speed! I'll be behind you!"
Fang Bai suddenly shouted, urging Huang Miao and the others.
Huang Miao and the others didn't have time to think about it, and immediately followed what Fang Bai said, ran the True Yuan, used their body techniques, and swept towards the direction of the Ice Peak with all their might.
Fang Bai followed behind the four of them, also flying in the direction of the Ice Peak.
However, in this rugged mountain, the speed of the human warriors could not compare to those spirit beasts that grew here, Huang Miao and the others swept forward for about five miles, but the group of pursuing spirit beasts had already run out of ten miles, quickly closing the distance between them and Fang Bai's five people.
Although Huang Miao and the others didn't look back, they could also feel that those spirit beasts were approaching, and what made them even more frightened was that the number and attack power of those spirit beasts were even stronger than the dozens of antelope horned silver lions besieging them in the stone forest.
"There's no way to hide now, it looks like it's going to be over!"
When they were still a few miles away from the eighteen ice peaks, Huang Miao and the others had even heard the heavy breath of the spirit beast spewing from the mouth and nose behind them.
It was also at this time that Fang Bai's divine sense shrouded him and found that among the group of spirit beasts that were chasing them, there was actually a martial artist sitting on the back of a spirit beast, and a strange howl came out of his mouth.
"It's him, I can't imagine that this guy knows how to tame beasts!"
Fang Bai's divine sense locked onto the martial artist sitting on the back of the spirit beast, his eyes flickering, and his expression revealed a little surprise.
The martial artist was about forty years old, wearing a disciple's uniform in the inner courtyard of the Bitao Martial Academy, with a thin face, gloomy eyes, and a long steel spear in his hand.
At this moment, Shi Gang pointed the steel spear in his hand at the sky, riding on the back of a huge fire cloud leopard, the whistling sound in his mouth was sharp and urgent, and he controlled the hundreds of spirit beasts around him to attack in the direction of Fang Bai and the others.
Those spirit beasts swept like a violent wind, their speed was fast, and the distance between them and Fang Bai and the others was getting closer and closer.
When he was still nearly a kilometer away from Fang Bai and the others, Shi Gang controlled the fire cloud leopard under him and jumped up a low hillside, his eyes were cold and looking at the place where Fang Bai and the others were standing, and his body was filled with a soaring murderous aura.
At this moment, Shi Gang is tall, standing proudly, full of momentum, where does he look like an inner courtyard disciple who only has a heaven-level mid-level cultivation?
"This Shi Gang's true strength is actually heaven-level perfection, comparable to the personal disciple of the Bitao Martial Academy. I hadn't used my sense to probe him before, and he had hidden it. It seems that he has not only cultivated exercises that can conceal his own cultivation, but he is also very clever. It's just that he didn't give birth to a divine sense, so how could he control a spirit beast? Could it be with the help of some kind of spirit weapon?"
Fang Bai thought of this, his heart moved, and his divine sense carefully explored Shi Gang's body, and sure enough, he found a black jade plaque hanging from his chest.
With the strange howl from Shi Gang's mouth, the black jade card hanging on his chest flashed with a faint light, releasing a wisp of divine consciousness that ordinary martial artists could not perceive, and this wisp of divine consciousness spread in all directions, controlling hundreds of spirit beasts.
