Chapter 14 Earthquakes

The Lanshi Mountains at dawn are the most tranquil moments in the entire Lanshi Mountains. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xia Yun was lying in a pit of fallen leaves, covered with a blanket under him, his eyes slightly closed, and he made an even breathing sound, looking like he was asleep.

"Whew...... "......Xia Yun didn't fall asleep, but was constantly running the fighting qi in his body, adjusting his breathing according to the pranayama method in "Void Weather", and also making the effect of the bottle of medicine he poured down before play faster.

In terms of exerting the effect of alchemy potions, recovering fatigue, etc., the effect of Dou Qi is obviously much better than mana.

Xia Yun opened his eyes and secretly looked at the sunset rain beside him.

Although Xia Yun feels that Xiyu has no malice and is trustworthy, he has to guard against people, and it is necessary to pay a little attention to Xiyu.

The girl in a black dress leaned against a tree, her head bowed, her hair with a hint of blue light scattered like a tassel, and it looked a little terrifying in the glimmer of dawn.

"Huh?" Xiyu's silver-gray eyes noticed Xia Yun's small movements, and he didn't say anything, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

There is nothing to do, and there is a wisp of fresh morning breeze wafting in the woods, which is quiet and calming.

Xia Yun was lying on the ground, his body was swirling, and his body's senses were in the best state.

"Knock...... Click......"

"What sound?" Xia Yun was startled, and there was a noisy and chaotic sound on the ground, the sound was very subtle, accompanied by the slightest vibration, which he clearly felt.

The sound was chaotic, with all sorts of strange sounds and no pattern to follow.

"Did you hear anything?" Xia Yun felt a little uneasy and even stood up.

"You're a little wary." Xiyu's eyes lifted, as calm as ever, and said casually, "There is an earthquake." ”

"Earthquake?!" Xia Yun was stunned for a moment, "Isn't it very dangerous?" ”

"Sort of." Xiyu reached out and stroked her hair, tying her long hair back to her head, "Earthquakes often occur in the Lanshi Mountains, and it can be regarded as the norm. ”

"Then why are you still stunned?" Xia Yun frowned, "Go to a safe place." ”

Least...... Don't stand in a daze, right?

Xiyu glanced at Xia Yun and said, "Safety? It's actually pretty safe here. There's nowhere to run if you want to run. There are frequent earthquakes in the Lanshi Mountains, and the scale is not large, so be careful of trees and gravel or something, I suggest that you move around now and wait for a hurry. ”

The evening rain has just fallen.

"Boom!"

A loud bang sounded like thunder, and the ground shook suddenly.

"Be careful, keep an eye on your surroundings." The sound of the evening rain sounded, and several pale blue light curtains surrounded her, protecting them.

Xia Yun pursed his lips, he didn't prepare the magic scroll of the defense system, the attributeless mana in his body drove the alchemy props okay, but it didn't work if he released the magic, but he also had his own way.

Xia Yun took out a blue and purple bracelet from the space ring, and didn't bring it, but directly held it in his hand, injecting magic power, Xia Yun's surrounding elements surged, and several invisible wind shields rose out of thin air, and there was a layer of fighting defense behind the wind shield.

Rumble......

The sky is falling apart.

Xia Yun didn't expect that the so-called "small scale" earthquake of Xiyu was so terrifying, and the strong vibration caused the surface to crack one after another, and under this vibration, Xia Yun suddenly lost his sense of direction, and only felt that there were chaotic things flying towards him from all directions in the dense jungle depths, and Xia Yun could only try to dodge.

In this woods that cover the sky and the sun, it is easy to lose your way, and there are similar trees on all sides, and it is even more difficult to find the direction when the mountains are shaken down.

Xia Yun glanced around, the shadows of the surrounding trees shook chaotically, as if countless ghosts were about to pounce, and between the shadows of the trees, there were gravel and rotten wood rolling out from time to time, many of these gravel and rotten wood were shaken down from the top of the mountain, even if there were many stumbles, but the impact was still terrible when it fell to this place.

"What about the sunset?" Xia Yun glanced at it.

The girl in black who had been quietly on the side disappeared at some point, as if she had never appeared.

"Whew!"

A stone the size of a skull fell from mid-air towards Xia Yun, and it was flying fast.

"Ahh Xia Yun noticed this stone, a little caught off guard, this stone should have fallen from the top of the mountain, and it fell to Xia Yun's position but fell more than half a mountain, even if the road was blocked by something, but the speed was still fast.

Xia Yun can't dodge, and it's not easy to dodge, it's already rare to stand firm in this kind of shaky situation, and it may happen more bad things to dodge in this unstable situation.

"Brush!"

A knife appeared in Xia Yun's hand, the back of the knife was heavy, the blade was not long, and it was more suitable for parrying when it turned sideways.

Xia Yun held the knife in both hands and blocked the stone from the side.

"Bang!" The stone slammed into the knife surface, and Xia Yun suddenly exerted a force, pushing the stone towards the other side.

"Hiss......"

Gasping for air, Xia Yun frowned slightly, and there was a slight clicking sound on the shoulder of his left hand.

"Sure enough, I'm still not used to this kind of thing." Xia Yun muttered, the fighting qi in his body swirled, and a few slight sounds sounded in his left shoulder, and then there was no movement, "Fortunately, it was just a little misaligned, and it shouldn't hurt the bones." ”

There are many kinds of alchemy weapons in Xia Yun's space ring, which are all made by Xia Yun in his usual practice, but Xia Yun is best at "stabbing swords", and other long swords and the like are also barely strong, but the use of war knives is not very good, and the reason why Xia Yun chose war knives is simply because it is the most convenient to use war knives to block in the situation just now.

Even so, Xia Yun was still injured by the strong impact of the stone.

"Can't be distracted." Xia Yun said to himself, "Let's get through this time now, the duration of the earthquake won't be too long, and I'll go to find Xiyu later." ”

Xia Yun stood firm, carefully paying attention to the surroundings, and from time to time split the splashed debris, some of which were too late to block, Xia Yun also had a wind shield and a fighting spirit shield around him to defend, as long as he was not hit by a particularly large stone, it was still no big deal.

Xia Yun was in this small clearing, carefully watching his surroundings.

The tremors have gradually weakened, and it seems that the earthquake is nearing its end.

Xia Yun looked around, the big trees around him were still standing upright, and it was obvious that the earthquake of this magnitude was not enough to shake them, only some branches and leaves were dropped.

The big trees in the Lanshi Mountain Range, each with an incomparably developed root system, are fiercely rooted in the mountain, not to mention this kind of frequent earthquake, even if it is bigger, it is difficult to shake these big trees.

In the shadow of this wood, a pair of dark golden cold pupils stared coldly at Xia Yun in the clearing.

The eyes in the pupils were erect, exuding a cold light.

If you get closer, you can see that this is a cat-like creature with a slender and streamlined body that is more than a meter long, squatting on the branches of a large tree, and the dark figure perfectly blends into the dark and dense leaves, making it difficult to spot.

The black cat-like creature held on to the branches of the tree, and the earthquake was nothing to it.

The shaking gradually slowed down, Xia Yun also breathed a sigh of relief, just in the few minutes of this earthquake, he had been in a state of high concentration, even so, he was hit by a lot of rubble, the wind shield around him had already been shattered, and the fighting qi shield was also flickering and flickering, a little overwhelmed.

"Eighty percent of the fighting energy is consumed, but the mana is not consumed." Xia Yun gasped, feeling the situation in his body.

The consumption of vindictive energy is very serious.

Blocking, standing firm on the ground, and defending against the Douqi Shield all require Douqi, which is much more useful than mana. And the way to consume mana is the alchemy prop that Xia Yun just used, one triggers a third-level magic wind shield, and there is not much consumption, and the other is to bless the knife in his hand.

And Xia Yun's knife is just a very ordinary alchemy prop, and the alchemy pattern depicted on it is also poor, and the blessing effect of mana is average, just to make this knife more convenient to block, and the mana consumed is also very small.

Xia Yun casually put the knife in his hand into the space ring, took a few deep breaths, and prepared to explore the surroundings.

This earthquake came and went quickly, the scale was not large, but it did not change any surrounding landforms, Xia Yun quickly found the direction described on the map, and prepared to continue towards the destination.

"If Yuyu finds out that he doesn't find me, he probably will go over there on his own." Xia Yun thought.

In the shadows of the woods behind Xia Yun, the pitch-black cat-shaped demonic beast suddenly moved.

"Whoosh!"

The speed was fast, like a ghost, and it rushed towards Xia Yun.

The cat-shaped beast was surrounded by pitch-black energy, making it faster and its shadows more blurred, even dragging a string of afterimages in mid-air.

"Huh? What is it? ”

How sensitive is Xia Yun's sense of energy? When he didn't even start cultivating, he could sense the energy fluctuations hidden in various alchemy materials, and at the moment when this cat-shaped demonic beast moved, Xia Yun sensed an abnormality.

"Brush!" A stabbing sword appeared in Xia Yun's hand in an instant, the magic power was surging, and the stabbing sword suddenly glowed with green light, and the speed rose sharply, slashing towards the black shadow.

This stabbing sword is the most skillful one used by Xia Yun, and it is also one of the best alchemy weapons he has made, and the power of this slash is really not small.

The black shadow that attacked bent in mid-air, and its sharp claws poked out, and it immediately jumped away with the force of Xia Yun's bayonet sword.

"Meow!" The black shadow let out a cat-like but extremely sharp roar, and the piercing sound made Xia Yun's brows furrow.

The black shadow landed steadily on a piece of rubble, and the dark golden eyes radiated a dazzling light.

"...... this?" Xia Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the demonic beast in front of him.

It is more than a meter long, and its fur is black and soft, and it looks very elegant just by squatting there.

"Ghost cats?" A smile appeared on Xia Yun's face.

Ghost cat, dark attribute, mostly lonely, generally a fourth-level magical beast, good at speed, sneak attack, and cunning by nature.

"It's really fast, and it's very cunning." Xia Yun said softly.

Xia Yun guessed that the ghost cat must have been watching him very early just now, and he didn't do anything, but just after the earthquake ended, he suddenly attacked when he almost put away his weapon when he was fighting energy, and the timing was quite accurate.

If an ordinary fourth-level warrior is attacked by such a sneak attack, even if he has time to react and take out his weapon, he will probably be injured by breaking through the Douqi Shield.

It's a pity that Xia Yun is not only a fourth-level warrior, but also a fifth-level magician.

Although the non-attribute mana power could not support him to release magic, the power that erupted through the transformation of the magic pattern on the alchemy weapon was not weak at all, and the previous knife itself was too weak to exert any powerful effect, but this stabbing sword was much better, and it could fully withstand Xia Yun's mana infusion explosion.

Through this stabbing sword, Xia Yun's attack power is no less than that of a fifth-level warrior, but if he fights a real fifth-level warrior, I am afraid he will still be at a disadvantage.

"Ghost cat......" Xia Yun licked his lips, his eyes shining, "Good luck." ”

The ghost cat's frontal combat ability is not strong, and it is good at sneak attacks and speed, but other aspects are mediocre.

The ghost cat sneak attack failed, so it wasn't much of a threat.

However, the ghost cat is a very valuable magical beast.

The attribute of the ghost cat is a relatively rare "darkness", the energy of the magic crystal nucleus bred in the body is restrained and cold, it is a good alchemy material, and the fur of the ghost cat is very beautiful and soft, light and luxurious, and the defense is also good, and the clothes made of the fur of the ghost cat are loved by many noble women and ladies, and the price in the market is definitely not low.

However, the number of ghost cats is very small, and they are solitary magical beasts, so it is not easy to encounter them.

"Whoosh!" Xia Yun's body moved, and he rushed directly towards the ghost cat, and the stabbing sword slashed towards the ghost cat.

The blade of the sword is prismatic, and the sides are also extremely sharp, and the power of the slash is also very impressive.

The ghost cat's reaction was also very fast, and the moment Xia Yun moved, his body twisted, and he quickly rushed towards the dense forest.

"That's it?" Xia Yun was stunned for a moment, and even chased after him.

The ghost cat was fast, and it was in a familiar place like the jungle.

Xia Yun was in hot pursuit, but the speed was still obviously much slower than that of the ghost cat, even if it was blessed with acceleration alchemy props.

The ghost cat can easily escape with the help of various terrains, but Xia Yun is relatively uncomfortable, and many places have to be bypassed, and it is not bad if he is not thrown off by the ghost cat for the first time.

Xia Yun reluctantly followed the ghost cat, watching the shadow of the ghost cat get farther and farther away and blurred.

"I can't help it." Xia Yun frowned.
