Chapter 14: Barren Mountain
Between the barren mountain neighbors, there is a faint mist, a rugged path crosses from the outside of this high mountain, this is the only way to enter this mountain, although it is rugged, but it is much easier than climbing over the top of the mountain, the Qingmai mountains, and therefore become the natural barrier of the Xiao family, the Xiao family, which is famous for its formation and spirit possession, has also laid layers of spirit arrays in this Qingmai mountains for thousands of years to create an indestructible defense, while looking up and marveling at the formation patterns looming in the air in the line of sight, Chu Jianmo was marching forward。
It has been a month since he was separated from Situ Yuxin, and Chu Jianmo also embarked on his training journey with Jian Yao, because he and Yuxin agreed to meet in Tianshan after a year, so he also chose a route that kept approaching Tianshan, and he went around and around along the way, basically in a state of hurry, and did not encounter anything, Jian Mo really didn't know when the spiritual domain was so quiet, could it be that the Xiao family did a good job in managing the territory?
As the descendants of Qingyun Pavilion who commanded the entire Spirit Clan in ancient times, although their bloodline has long since declined, and even the only descendant of the Spirit Emperor Xiao Qingyun has long been missing, even if it is a fallen family, its heritage is still there, and it also has the strength to compete with other families.
"After passing through this mountain range, you should be able to enter the territory of the Xiao family, ah, it's so boring along the way. Looking at the entrance of the mountain range not far away, Chu Jianmo finally let out a long sigh and began to vent his boredom along the way, no wonder he would be like this, except for the scattered spirit beasts along the way, he had never even seen a living person, even if it was snow dumping, he would inevitably feel bored.
"It's strange, I remember that there used to be a village at the entrance of the mountain range, and now it's all gone?" Xue Tianci looked around all the way, and the surrounding environment still hadn't changed much, but according to his memory, it was still inhabited here before.
"I said, eldest brother, how many years ago did you last come here?" Xue Qianci's cultivation and seniority are much higher than Chu Jianmo's, but coupled with the fact that the two are like-minded and informal, Chu Jianmo is also commensurate with Xue Qianci's brothers.
"Last time? a hundred years ago. ”
"That's not surprising. Chu Jianmo said that this is not a strange thing at all, okay.
"Huh?"
"What the young master means is that your lifespan is extremely long, and this hundred years may be very short, but for ordinary spirit clans, one hundred years is enough to replace a generation, so the changes here are not surprising. It was still Chu Jianyao who explained the meaning of Xia Jianmo to Xue Qianci, although Xue Tianci was very smart, but the sensory limitations brought about by this congenital race still needed to be explained, and this situation was no surprise to Jian Yao along the way.
"I said, big brother, then you should know some secrets of the ancient period, or tell us some. Suddenly, Jian Mo found that he seemed to miss the days when Nangong Ling Yin followed the team, although it was not very reliable to say that she was confused every day, but at least she would not be bored when she was in a hurry like now, Jian Mo even felt that the stories told by Ling Yin in this month would definitely not be the same.
"In ancient times, none of us in the White Wolf Clan had experienced the existence of that era, well, the earliest ancestors of the White Wolf Clan also appeared in the era after the other six races that were fighting for hegemony at that time inexplicably disappeared. Xue Qian Ci waved her hand at this, indicating that she also didn't know anything about it, "But I'm very interested in those races that suddenly disappeared at the end of the ancient period, and when I asked Yu Xinbei in the future, she seems to know everything in this regard." ”
"Ancient races... Thinking about the scene of the scuffle between the eight most powerful races in the whole world, it is really longing, alas, it is really hard to imagine that such a weak dragon race now, in the past, would be the most powerful race in the whole world. ”
Thinking of the Genesis period when the heroes were in turmoil, and then thinking of the current situation of the dragon clan who could only huddle in a corner of the demon domain and rely on the protection of the demon emperor to avoid being wiped out, Chu Jianmo couldn't help but sigh.
"After the blood disaster of the dragon clan back then, the dragon kings with the power of rules have fallen, without the power of rules, coupled with the curse of the evil eyes and demon pupils, it is not surprising that the dragon clan has the current situation. As a person in the Demon Domain, Xue Tianci is very familiar with the current situation of the Dragon Clan, although he also has a close relationship with the current Dragon Clan Patriarch, but he has nothing to do to help the current situation that the entire Dragon Clan cannot change.
When it came to the power of the rules, Chu Jianmo subconsciously clenched the broken sword on his back, this long sword that Yu Xin desperately snatched, but she didn't know what it was for, she just left it to herself to explore, but to be honest, anyone who saw this broken sword body would never have thought that this would be the dragon king who dominated the world back then.
"Uh... Did you hear any movement?" said that the atmosphere was good as the three of them walked, but as they spoke, Xue Tanci's expression suddenly changed, and he felt an anomaly in the distance, and this anomaly came from this mountain range.
"Oh, I didn't hear you... Hmm, wait, it seems that there are a lot of people..."The impetuous aura fluctuations in the air have been forced so close, if Chu Jianmo can't feel it at this time, then his cultivation in the God Refining Realm is also blind.
"There should be a mount in the footsteps, but with such a flustered rhythm, could it be that he is being chased by something?" Chu Jianmo just wanted to step forward to find out, but he was pulled by Xue Tianci from behind, and the other party stopped him with a look.
"Let's see. ”
"Okay. ”
Perhaps he also felt a little wrong, so that he who had always liked to take the lead decided to observe first, but fortunately there were mountains around, trees and rocks everywhere, and the three of them quickly turned to a rock above, and looked at the things that were getting closer and closer in front of them.
The smoke and dust are raging, all the way to the periphery of the Qingmai mountains, but this smoke is shrinking with the advance of the distance at a speed visible to the naked eye, accompanied by the sound of fighting that has been heard in the ears, when a blue-maned fierce horse led by it rushed out of the smoke and dust, the two horses behind it fell to the ground at the same time, without even struggling, directly by a pair of thick claws from the central abdomen, after grabbing a large piece of meat, it was actually running while eating at the same time, like the ancient legend of the gluttonous beast as cruel and evil.
It was a two-meter-tall humanoid monster, with a pair of claws that were so thick that they were disproportionate to its body, its whole body was covered with scales, but it was not reflected in the sunlight, the golden eyes full of black spots were staring at the person who was still fleeing in front of it, and its flexible pace made it speed to catch up with the blue-maned horse, and it was only a matter of time to catch up in terms of speed, and its appearance was similar to the alien blood elf that Jian Mo saw in the forest enchantment, but if the alien blood elf could still be called distorted beauty, then the thing in front of him was completely ugly。
"Being able to control the horses at the exit of the Demon Domain, it seems that the identities of these two girls are not so ordinary. ”
Xue Tianci's dark red eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the two people who were still running away on the blue-maned fierce horse, and couldn't help but feel interested.
Any horse in these three domains is owned by the demon domain, and the creatures brought by the demon emperor are also widely exported and traded by the demon domain because of its excellent performance.
Just as Xue was thinking about it, the monster with no spiritual power fluctuations had already caught up with the galloping blue-maned horse, ignoring the screams of the two people on horseback, and grabbed the woman in the white dress who was driving the horse behind the horse, and raised her head to the sky with a roar, but with the slight force of her right paw, he tore her right arm down and stuffed it into her mouth and chewed it.
Even though she was hit hard, the woman in the white dress seemed extremely calm at the moment, she actually kicked the scabbard tied to the left side of the saddle with her left foot, grabbed the long sword with her left hand and directly swept the monster's neck with her backhand, and then kicked the monster off the horse with a sideways kick.
"Sister Wen, you are injured!" The girl who was protected by the woman in the white dress felt the blood dripping from above, she asked in panic about her safety, but at this moment, the woman in the white dress had no extra energy to comfort her, the terrifying monster attacked again, it killed all the guards accompanying this time, even in the late stage of the God Refining Realm, she had no strength to fight back, and the most terrifying thing was that she couldn't feel the other party's spiritual power fluctuations at all, which meant that the other party was at least above the God Refining Realm!
But what made her wonder was that the other party's behavior was completely like a beast without wisdom, and there was no more skill to use, but this was already a great luck in misfortune for her, otherwise she would never have survived to this point, but now, I'm afraid she has also reached the limit.
"Roar!"
With a wild roar, sure enough, the monster would not give up, and pounced again, this time, how should she take it...
"Whew!"
A wind of white mist that was faster than the wind of death behind swept the two of them directly towards the monster behind them, and rushed the monster down from mid-air with an unstoppable momentum, and the silver blade swept out of the white mist, heading straight for the monster's neck.
However, this sudden attack seemed slow under the monster's reaction, and in mid-air, it twisted its body at a strange angle, making Xue Tianci's deadly sword miss, but its reaction was limited after all, and it was still kicked away by Xue Tianci, who showed its true body, and rolled on the ground ten meters away before stopping.
"Howl!"
However, the other party seemed to be completely enraged by Xue Tanci's attack, and under an even more terrifying roar, the flesh behind the monster was actually under a disgusting wriggling, a pair of gray flesh wings stretched out together with the blood that spurted out, and jumped into the sky with a quick step on the ground, directly skimming the defending and attacking Xue Tanci, and went straight to the two people who were still riding horses and galloping behind them.
"Sword Desert, stop it!" The monster did not prioritize attacking itself that had already attacked him, but chose to continue pursuing its original target without hesitation, which was not like a decision made by an unintelligent creature.
As soon as Xue Tian's words fell, the monster that was already about to chase the horses opened its bloody mouth again, ready to give a fatal blow to the two people in front of him, and at this moment, dozens of sword gangs appeared in front of the monster with the momentum of the encirclement, but the monster was actually impartial and did not hide, and went straight into the sword formation with the most direct momentum, and was actually ready to fight the sword formation with his body?!
Although this move was beyond the expectations of Chu Jianmo in the rear, the other party was so stupid and took an almost suicidal way to break through his own attack, which was undoubtedly extremely beneficial to himself.
"Boom!"
The impact of the sword array and the opponent's claws produced a great turbulence, but the result really surprised Jian Mo, all his sword gangs were deflected by the other party, and the opponent's claws were actually filled with pale cyan compressed wind gang, taking advantage of the perception deviation when he cast the spell, he broke his attack with one blow, and then his wings shook violently and quickly contracted and surrounded, and he was actually going to continue to pursue forward.
"Sword formation, turn!"
The scattered sword gang quickly adjusted its position under the control of Jian Mo, and inserted it into the back of the monster from behind at a faster speed, but the monster continued to sprint forward regardless of its injuries, and when the pair of terrifying claws were about to reach the back of the woman in the white dress, Chu Jianmo pinched the "Imperial Sword Technique" Sword tricks, those sword gangs that penetrate into the monster's body blur the flesh and blood of the body destruction with a barb, the ordinary spirit beast is so seriously injured, even if it doesn't retreat, it will at least be wary of the people who attack it, but it seems that as long as the sword desert does not block its way, it will still chase forward regardless of it, what a terrifying obsession...
The blood that was floating in the air accompanied the high-speed movement of the monster and drew a fishy trajectory that irritated the nasal cavity, and the sword desert that withdrew his sword formation was too late to stop the monster from attacking the two girls, and at this moment, the snow in the rear had already teleported in.
Xue Dumping, which appeared in time, grabbed the monster's shoulders directly from behind with both hands in the high-speed movement, and controlled the monster's sharp claws to a centimeter before touching the body of the woman in white.
But a terrible thing was beyond Xue Tianci and Chu Jianmo's expectations, the monster was actually under an angry roar, suddenly exerted its strength and forcibly struggled forward again, not expecting that this monster still had the strength to struggle Xue Tianci's hand slipped off the other party's wings for a while, and the other party actually let his own flesh wings continue to be torn apart, fiercely stabbed its claws into the heart of the woman in the white dress, and then the right arm drove the woman's broken body to slam out, smashing it into the tree next to it, under the ultra-high-speed travel speed, the body of the woman who was thrown out was directly distorted and deformed, and shattered, This young woman, who was still graceful a few moments ago, has now become an unrecognizable and mutilated corpse under the fierce pursuit of this monster.
"Bell!"
The little girl who was originally protected by the woman in the white dress was already holding the long sword to block the claws stretched out by the monster, and the long sword that was originally the woman in the white dress had already been delivered to the little girl at some point, but the little girl's cultivation was obviously not as clever as the woman in the white dress, although the claw of the monster was blocked, but the body shape had no effect, and the soles of her feet stepped on the horse's back, and she didn't continue to attack like just now, but stretched out her right arm, grabbed the little girl with her clothes, and then stepped on the horse's back to prepare to leave here。
But Xue Tianci, who had already tried his hand once, would not give it a chance again, he flashed directly in front of the other party, and kicked the opponent's head with a volley barb, and the ugly and twisted head was like a ball that was hit in a high-speed movement, and the right half of the kick kicked by Xue Tianci exploded directly, but even so it still did not let go of its claws that grabbed the little girl, and still held her firmly in his hand in the process of flying upside down.
