Chapter Thirty-Nine: Rushing to the Canyon Pass
Brother Ming and Xiang Jinlai were very surprised, and now they didn't have time to think about it, so the two of them followed behind Mu Xiaoxiao and Bian Ze and other monks, and at the same time, they were all on guard and retreated towards Butterfly Pass.
Until they saw the pass tower and did not see the alien race chasing after them, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, a group of monks and two thousand soldiers only felt exhausted after hearing the city gate slowly closed, this late-night raid was not long before and after, but it was not inferior to the two armies against each other, head-on decisive battle.
Bian Ze deployed all the soldiers who did not go out to defend the city to defend the line, and at the same time sent all the spies, but he was still not at ease, and he did not rest, so he watched the castle tower with all his armor in his body.
Brother Ming was seriously injured, so he meditated cross-legged in the room, there was still some left of the bottle of medicine given by Shangguan Qianqian, and he left a few other pills for Xiang Jinlai, Xiang Jinlai was also breathing in the room, and Mu Xiaoxiao brought him the sea stone and let him absorb and refine, otherwise this force deficit could not be replenished. Xiang Jin came to see that Mu Xiaoxiao was holding Xiaobai in his arms, looked at himself worriedly, smiled at her, signaled that it was okay, he could breathe over, and Mu Xiaoxiao looked at his calm look, and he was relieved.
She went to the city tower, and Bian Ze was as worried about the overall situation of the alien race as she was attacking, and Brother Ming and Xiang Jinlai were in this situation, if there were more than 1,000 alien races plus two mid-stage powerhouses in the Three Realms, I was afraid that she would not be able to hold it, so she was even more worried than Bian Ze.
Fortunately, after another two hours, there was still no abnormality, and at this time the sky gradually brightened, and several spies went back and forth several times, but no trace of aliens was found, only the farthest spies have not returned, and they went to the route leading to the canyon pass on the north side.
After a few hours like this, seeing that the time had passed noon, Mu Xiaoxiao and Bian Ze were both at the head of the city tower, and at this time they were also relieved, ready to go to see Xiang Jinlai and Brother Ming, at this time, all the way the spies hurriedly rode to the city gate, shouting to open the city gate, the guard saw that it was a spy, hurriedly opened the city gate, only to see the first person quickly run up the city tower, saw him and the two hurriedly said:
"General Qiyu, the canyon pass is urgent!" the spy said, gasping.
"What's going on?" Bian Ze asked.
"We tracked the traces of those aliens all the way, and when we arrived at the place where the camp last night did not see them, we changed the route to the north, and did not dare to take the big road, but took the small road, ran for about two hundred miles and did not see any aliens, thinking that there were also our spies in other directions, so we planned to continue to the north, but at this moment, a fast horse came quickly from the north, we were worried that it was a foreign race, so we planned to hide, but from a distance we saw the clothing of our Shenglan Kingdom, so he stopped him, knowing that we were the defenders of Butterfly Pass, so he hurriedly said the situation, the Canyon Pass last night the alien army raided, about 1,500 or more, all monks, when he came, the alien race had already attacked a wave, it is also our ** sharp, barely supported it, but the alien race did not withdraw the army, just set up camp twenty miles outside the city, and will organize an attack at any time, he came to ask us for reinforcements, explain the situation to me and let me come back quickly to report, he will return to the canyon pass to resume his life!"
He finished speaking in one breath and began to gasp again, obviously exhausted along the way.
"I see, didn't you ask him if he had met those more than a thousand aliens?"
"Back to the general, asked, he didn't dare to take the main road, walked out of the canyon pass a long way before rushing along the trail adjacent to the main road, but he said that he did not encounter it.
"Okay, you go down and rest, I'm free!" Bian Ze said.
"Yes, General!"
After saying that, he went down the castle tower.
"Presumably, the 1,000 alien races have received the signal of the assembly of the alien army in the canyon pass, and want to organize troops to break through the canyon pass, this pass is quite steep, and it is also heavily guarded, it is more than 500 miles to the west is the Wind and Frost City, and if it is more than 800 miles to the northwest is our holy capital, these two main cities can not afford to lose, so the canyon pass is very important!" Bian Ze said to the curtain Xiaoxiao.
"What if we go to support the Butterfly Pass?" asked Maku.
"The three of us go!"
Brother Ming's voice came from behind him, and Xiang Jinlai also followed.
"How are your injuries?" asked Maku.
"It's fine, but if you want to heal from your internal injuries, you need to breathe slowly. Brother Ming said.
"I'm fine, yesterday was mainly due to the Force deficit, and my internal injuries were much lighter than Brother Ming's, don't worry!" said Xiang Jin.
Mu Xiaoxiao and Bian Ze both saw that they had not recovered, and they were very worried.
"The three major passes of our Shenglan country, the Canyon Pass, the Sword Customs and the Guyang Pass, the defenders are all 30,000, my Wuji Sect ordered all the sects of the Shenglan country to carry out wartime orders, mainly to protect the three major passes, and during the war, there will be two thousand monks to reinforcements in these three passes, and there are more than 7,000 monks in my Shenglan country, the reason why they attach so much importance to these three passes is because they are the main barrier of our Shenglan country, the gateway of the three main cities of Shengjing, Fengshuang City and Guyang City, and it is also the place where monks gather. According to the total strength of the alien race, I am afraid that there will not be less than five thousand in the Holy Race Country, even if the number of foreign monks in the Holy Land Country is not as large as ours, but the overall strength is far superior to us, and they are already stronger among the monks of the same level, not to mention that they also have powerful Force weapons. If more than a thousand alien races and alien races from the Canyon Pass gathered last night, then the Canyon Pass is indeed not optimistic, let's go there immediately!"
"Second Elder, I'll go with you too, right?" Bian Ze said.
"No, although the position of the butterfly pass is not as important as the three major passes, there is no room for error, otherwise the overall situation will still fall into passivity. Besides, the soldiers and monks are tired from the big battle before, so you must stay and take command!"
"Yes!" Bian Ze said no more.
"Jin Lai, I'm really sorry for you this time, I..."
Before Brother Ming finished speaking, he heard Xiang Jinlai interrupt: "How can Brother Ming be so polite, this is an alien invasion, since I have become a monk, I have an unshirkable responsibility, otherwise what's the point of practicing?"
"That's good, Brother Ming, don't be verbose, let's go!" Mu Xiaoxiao said!
"Haha, okay, let's go all the way, kill all the way!" Brother Ming said arrogantly!
With a decision, the three of them stopped staying, packed up, took Xiaobai and started to cultivate and go to the canyon pass.
They also need to find out some situations, so they didn't choose to go inside the pass, or walk along the outside of the pass, while walking with cultivation as an induction, after walking three hundred miles to the north, the three of them stopped, discussed, there was no trace of alien races along the way, I thought it must be to meet with the alien races outside the canyon pass, and then more than four hundred miles to reach the canyon pass, so take a break.
Along the way, they all let go of cultivation and ran, Brother Ming looked at Jin Lai Although he was injured internally, his internal cultivation seemed to have faint signs of a breakthrough, so he asked:
"Jin Lai, your cultivation is different from ours, but I feel that you seem to have improved!"
Mu Xiaoxiao heard Brother Ming say this, and also looked at Xiang Jinlai, she didn't cultivate enough, and she didn't realize it.
"That's true, last night I absorbed the force in the sea stone, I felt that my divine consciousness was a little uncontrollable, and I thought it was because of the injury, but I heard the master and senior brother they all said, after breaking through the peak of the second realm, I entered the third realm, but I thought of the idea of wandering in the starry sky, thinking of this possibility, I fortunately no longer suppressed it, after letting go of the divine sense, I felt that I was wandering in the starry sky, but after a while, the divine consciousness could not go to the depths, I sensed the force of the starry sky, it seems that it is not pure enough, and I still need to go deeper. Xiang Jin said.
"That's right, it should be that your injuries haven't healed, and the Force in your body hasn't fully recovered, right?"
"Exactly, I have absorbed the Force of this sea stone twice, and I feel that the Force contained in it should not be much, and it is also a little dim, and I want to save some use it in case I need it!" said Xiang Jin.
"I see, but if we can break through the realm, it can be regarded as the best use, why don't we find a place, me and Xiaoxiao will protect the Dharma for you, and you will try to break through?" Brother Ming said.
"That's right, Jin Lai, you don't have to feel sorry for the sea stone, presumably the disciples of the Wuji Sect can safely escort those two Force Stones to the Holy Capital, but you can use that pale golden Force Stone to refine and replenish the Force. Mu Xiaoxiao thought that what Brother Ming said was very reasonable, and hurriedly said.
"I don't think it's necessary for the time being, I suddenly realized something during pranayama last night, but there are still some things I haven't figured out, if I can figure it out, I may not have to rely on absorbing sea stones to replenish the Force!" said Xiang Jin.
Brother Ming and Mu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up when they heard him say this, but they still looked at him suspiciously.
"Do you remember the Force Stone in the Bright Moon Sect Cave?" asked Xiang Jinlai.
The two nodded, but didn't know why.
"Why is there a pale golden Force Stone in the middle of several Force Stones?
"So what?" asked Brother Ming.
"I'm wondering, could it be that there were no white Force Stones in the first place, because the pale golden Force Stone has been gathering or summoning the surrounding Force for many years, slowly condensing and merging into the mountain stone and then forming, and then slowly purifying and improving the purity for a long time, so that they are finally a bit like a symbiotic relationship, or attachment, or protection, complementing each other, in short, their overall Force energy is infinitely magnified. Do you think I can do the same in my body?" Xiang Jin looked at them after speaking, as if to verify it.
"......?" Brother Ming fell into deep thought, and was really shocked by Xiang Jinlai's thoughts. The same is true for Mu Xiaoxiao, which is a bit subverting their perception of spiritual practice.
"But let's let it go for now, let's go to the canyon pass first, and when the situation is stabilized, I'll try slowly!"
Brother Ming and Mu Xiaoxiao nodded, and also felt that even if this was feasible, it could not be done overnight.
"Meow, meow, meow!"
Xiaobai suddenly screamed a few times, Xiang Jin knew that it was going to eat, a few people simply took out some dried meat and a few pots of wine brought in the butterfly pass, sat on the ground, ate and drank, Xiaobai storage box originally had a lot to eat, but it didn't eat its own, its eyes only stared at the dried meat of the three of them, the three of them laughed, knowing this guy's careful thinking, they gave it to him, the wine was a bit strong, Xiaobai didn't like it, the three of them drank it separately, but they all drank it in small sips.
After eating, a few people immediately left, still letting go of the cultivation for the wild run, although Brother Ming and Xiang Jinlai still had injuries that had not healed, but they ran calmly, but they were a little tired after a long time, and the two of them had to slow down, and Mu Xiaoxiao was a little apologetic.
Xiang Jinlai's physique has also improved significantly after his cultivation has been refined, from the bones, skin to all parts of the body have been strengthened, as if reborn, this is related to his cultivation, inland monks are only in the three realms can refine the body, and since his enlightenment, he has absorbed the force of the force everywhere in the body to practice, so from the initial cultivation is to refine the body, and the process of cultivation is slowly strengthening the body. In addition, the storage of the Force in various parts of his body has also increased, but he can't absorb the Force in this inland area, if he can make the Force in his body abundant, his strength will definitely go up to a higher level.
Halfway through, Brother Ming and Xiang Jin came to ask Mu Xiaoxiao to stop and meditate and breathe, and the two of them also followed for a while, and then the three of them hurried away, so that after another two hours, they were already approaching the canyon pass.
