Chapter Ninety-Seven: Relaxing Cultivation in the Mountains
There isn't much snow in the Fantasy Realm. But the temperature is still much better than that of the White Plains Continent. The light was much darker than in the mortal realm. And this provides convenience for stealth.
Xun Huan, under the protection of the Hidden Shadow Crown, is going deep into the hinterland of the Snow River step by step. This snow river is not very bitter, the radius is only three thousand miles, and the possibility of a powerful spirit beast appearing in it is very small. Since a third-level spirit beast had already appeared among them, the possibility of a second third-level spirit beast being able to exist was almost none. And the fourth-level spirit beast, that is, the demon cultivator in the monk's mouth, there is no need to worry.
Within this snowy river, there is a spirit beast called the snowy river armor. This Snow River Armor Beast is currently known to be the highest level two, and this Snow River Armor Beast has no means of attacking. However, the thick armor behind it is an excellent defense material, and this snow-river armor lives in cold environments all year round, and its back armor is also resistant to fire.
Xun Huan's goal on this trip is this Snow River Armor Beast, if he can get a few pieces of scale armor of this Snow River Armor Beast, then the Snow Flame Forest and his party will be a little more sure.
It's just that Xun Huan hasn't seen this snow river armor beast. At that time, I will have to rely on my intuition.
After traveling about 500 miles, Xun Huan will slow down. According to the map markings, the haunting place of the Snow River Armor is around here. Xun Huan also lowered the height of the retreat to about ten miles. Then he exerted his spiritual sense to the extreme, for fear of missing the trace of the Snow River Armor Beast.
After searching like this for half an hour, Xun Huan still found no trace of the Snow River Armor Beast. While muttering in his heart, he also fell to the ground to look for traces of the Snow River Armor Beast.
According to Xun Huan's thoughts, this Snow River Armor Beast is known for its defense, so its back armor must have special characteristics. From this point of searching, it must be correct. But so far, not only the Snow River Armor Beast, but even the other spirit beasts Xun Huan has not found one.
If it was just the Snow River Armor Beast that had lost its trace, Xun Huan would not be surprised. But there wasn't a single spirit animal, which was a bit strange.
After walking another ten miles, Xun Huan vaguely noticed a trace of fishy sweetness in the air. This taste is very familiar to Xun Huan, who has experienced the beast tide in the Valley of Hundred Beasts. That's the smell of blood.
Xun Huan first held the magic sword he had just refined in his hand to prevent sudden danger. In this illusory realm where the light is not clear, the blue light of the magic sword in Xun Huan's hand is still used by Xun Huan as lighting.
It didn't take long for Xun Huan to find a pool of blood in front of him. The mixture of sticky blood and black earth and stone was chilling to look at.
Although Xun Huan has already stepped into cultivation, he is still a child's heart after all. In fact, Xun Huan is only eleven or twelve years old, and when he feels the danger, he has already retreated. It's just that if you retreat now, then the Snow Flame Forest itself will not be able to go anymore.
Thinking of this, Xun Huan was unwilling in his heart. He took the Shadow Crown to the extreme, hiding his own spiritual breath. Even with his spiritual sense, Xun Huan didn't dare to use it recklessly, for fear of being detected by powerful beasts or monks.
Xun Huan didn't see the enemy and was in a timid mood, just imagine, if he met the enemy, what chance did Xun Huan have of winning?
With apprehension, Xun Huan walked forward for several miles and finally found the creature. Maybe this can't be said to be a living thing anymore.
The limbs of a small finch were scattered on the ground, and Xun Huan could only recognize it by relying on the white feathers and mutilated limbs all over the ground.
Half a mile further, a snow fox was cut off by the waist, and the two corpses were several feet apart. Xun Huan didn't feel a wave of nausea in his heart, although there was no food in his stomach, he was still churning. For Xun Huan, who has never experienced such a bloody scene, this kind of visual impact is too beyond his ability to bear.
After thinking about it again, Xun Huan decided to move on.
"In the near future, I will face the Demon Beasts and Demon Cultivators of the Demon Realm, and their methods are much more cruel than those of the Mortal Realm. If I can't even bear this bloody scene today, then what else can I rely on to defeat Demon Cultivation in the future?" Every time he thought of this, Xun Huan would have infinite pride in his heart, and he would have the mentality of seeing death as home.
After a few more zhang, the number of spirit beasts gradually increased. The spirit beasts that were placed on the ground, some Xun Huan knew, some couldn't even name them, and there were even several types of spirit beasts that had never heard of them.
No one paid attention to the usable things such as the skins and beast pills of these spirit beasts, and Xun Huan couldn't bear it when he saw that these materials were abandoned. Sweep away the available materials on the ground with a saving mentality.
Because the range that can be detected by the naked eye is really narrow, Xun Huan had to risk being discovered and release his spiritual sense again. But it was only a small-scale exploration, but Xun Huan's spiritual sense did not dare to go beyond a radius of one mile.
The information fed back by the spiritual sense made Xun Huan gasp. About a mile ahead, it was simply a mass grave of spirit beasts, and all of this could not be seen because it was blocked by the tall grass and trees of the people born in this illusory realm.
Xun Huanqiang resisted the discomfort in his heart and paced towards the mass grave. Although Xun Huan used the formation to take the lives of many spirit beasts in the Valley of Hundred Beasts, he was still chilled when he saw the scene in front of him.
Most of the internal organs of these corpses were scattered outside, as if the murderer was looking for something to kill these spirit beasts, and what he was looking for might be in the belly of these spirit beasts?
Such a scene, even if he was greedy for money like Xun Huan, he would no longer bear to take off the animal skins on these spirit beasts. Xun Huan laboriously piled all the spirit beasts scattered nearby, and set the corpses of these spirit beasts on fire with the True Xuan Fire.
At this point, Xun Huan no longer planned to look for any Snow River Armor Beast. This massacre happened, and even if there were still surviving armored beasts in this snowy river, I am afraid that they would be hidden deeply. If you continue to look for it, you will find nothing, so it is better to leave here, find a quiet place to cultivate quietly, and go to the center of this illusory realm after a year to see if you can find some opportunities.
Just after Xun Huan left, the corpse of the spirit beast that was burning in the fire, the eyes that had turned white flashed a trace of green light, and this green light flashed away. As the corpses of these spirit beasts burned to ashes, the green light was no longer noticed.
Xun Huan, who was bent on leaving, naturally did not pay attention to these dead spirit beasts, and naturally did not find any visions on the spirit beasts.
After leaving the Snow River, Xun Huan suddenly felt that he was at a loss. This illusory realm is so big that he has nowhere to go. Most of the places marked on the map are strange places, and these places are naturally full of strange beasts.
If you encounter a strange beast with a history, even if the level is not high, its difficulty will not be low. So Xun Huan didn't plan to get involved. And without the scale armor of the Snow River Armor Beast, the danger factor of the Snow Flame Forest and his party will only increase greatly. After thinking about it again, Xun Huan still decided not to go. It's not that your life can't be discarded, but before you save Mou Le, you can't throw it away.
Xun Huan was unwilling to risk his own life, and this place where the aura of the phantom realm was thin was not much worse than the mortal realm. Although it cannot be compared with the place where the great sect is located, it is enough for the current Xun Huan.
Xun Huan chose a place not far from the center of the Illusory Realm, where the aura was not very abundant.
Half a year later, a young man outside the center of the Illusory Realm brandished a half-human-high sword in his hand. At first, it looked very funny, but if you look closely, you can find that there is a mystery in the swordsmanship wielded by the young man. A purple dragon wolf beast jumped to the side with great interest, as if cheering for the boy.
This young man is naturally Xun Huan who is hiding in the mountains and forests and practicing alone, since stepping into the practice, Xun Huan feels that the most comfortable time is the most in this half year. In the past six months, Xun Huan has practiced hard, and the use of all kinds of spells has long been free. So much so that in his spare time, Xun Huan actually found a set of swordsmanship from the Xuan Cheng left by his master to practice.
The purple-haired dragon wolf's cultivation is not slower than Xun Huan's, if the purple-haired dragon wolf is allowed to practice alone, he doesn't know what year and month he will be able to achieve today's achievements.
In the past six months, Xun Huan has stuffed the beast pills and other materials in his collection to the purple-haired dragon wolf like jelly beans. And the purple-haired dragon wolf beast is nourished by these beast pills, and it seems that it is not far from being upgraded. If the purple-haired dragon wolf was promoted to a second-level spirit beast, it would be comparable to a sixth- or seventh-level spiritual cultivation. At that time, Xun Huan will be compared to the purple-haired dragon wolf. And it is not a good thing for the Lord to be weak and serve the strong.
There are still three months before the date agreed with Lu Sanfei, and it will be difficult for Xun Huan to go further in cultivation within these three months. And in order not to be too weak when getting along with Lu Sanfei and Liu Shiding, Xun Huan has been trying to find ways to improve his strength.
The realm could not be improved quickly, so Xun Huan focused on the cultivation of spiritual consciousness in the past half a year. The growth of spiritual consciousness can only be improved with the ascension of the realm, which is the common knowledge of the immortal cultivation world. But Xun Huan has a method of spiritual cultivation. It's just that despite this supreme method, the difficulty of spiritual cultivation is unabated. Although it can only increase slightly with each practice, it is a lot of improvement over time.
At this time, Xun Huan's spiritual sense was comparable to a sixth- or seventh-level spiritual cultivation, and the range of spiritual consciousness could reach as far as one hundred and fifty miles. Xun Huan's spiritual sense has increased, how can he not show it at any time. Although no one appreciates it, it can bring you a sense of pride.
But at this time, Xun Huan, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, put away the magic sword, and put away the purple-haired dragon wolf beast.
The spirit stone reported that three monks appeared due south.
