Chapter 176: First Entry into the Soul Ridge

Because they had purchased many relevant records about the Soul Ridge before, coupled with the various classics that Yu Chen had seen in the Qianyuan Sect, the two of them had some understanding of the general environment in the Soul Ridge, so after climbing over a mountain, they saw that the vegetation in front of them suddenly became very dense, and when they looked at the entire land from a distance, regardless of the mountains and valleys, they knew that they had finally entered the realm of the Soul Ridge.

Standing on the top of a big tree, Li Qingyu stretched out his right hand and grabbed it with five fingers, and easily grabbed a clear water ball out of thin air. Yu Chen, who saw this scene, was slightly stunned, then looked at her with a happy face and asked, "Have you broken the ban in your body?" "Otherwise, how can you condense moisture from the air so easily?

As soon as Li Qingyu's right hand was released, the water balloon fell immediately without support, and then split into several petals in mid-air, and finally fell into the woods and disappeared.

"It's so easy, I've tried it for so long, let alone cracking, I can't even drill a little loophole."

Looking at Li Qingyu's bitter face, Yu Chen naturally knew that she would not lie in this matter, so he asked again: "What was ...... just now?" ”

"Don't you notice that there is a lot of moisture in the air here, even if it is several times higher than the dense vegetation of Xingchenyuan, and between breaths, it feels like your lungs are drinking water. It's a great environment for me, and since it's so isolated and uninhabited, I might be able to find someone of my own kind here. ”

"Oh?" Hearing her say this, Yu Chen took a deep breath, and sure enough, he felt a thick moisture enter his lungs, and looked intently into the woods below, and found that there seemed to be crisscrossing streams under the canopy, and it seemed that the source of the moisture was these streams. "Then we can stay here a little longer, and maybe we can really find your kindred here."

Noncommittal to Yu Chen's statement, Li Qingyu shrugged and said, "Let's talk about this, although the environment seems to be more suitable for the growth of the spirit of plants and trees, who knows if there will be other dangers here." Even without humans, not all living beings are no longer a threat to the spirits of plants and trees. ”

Knowing that he was not qualified to discuss this aspect, Yu Chen simply changed the topic: "We are still on the edge of the Soul Ridge now, if we want to really completely escape Wei Li's pursuit, we should go deeper, but I have seen in many records before that there are many naturally formed spirit arrays inside the Soul Ridge, including phantom arrays and killing arrays, if we rush forward, we are likely to be trapped in it, otherwise we will go step by step?" ”

Thinking of Wei Li, Li Qingyu had a headache. Obviously, I really want to go back to my master, but why is it like this now? Not only did he have to think hard about how to avoid him, but he also ran to this ghost place that is said to be a spiritual Jedi, and if he dies here in an accident, it will really be worth the loss.

"Well, we originally came in for safety, if it was folded here, it really couldn't be drawn, be careful, step by step is the way it should be."

"Then let's go down first, it's too obvious up there. If they encounter flying spirit beasts, they will be used as live targets. ”

"Okay."

The two of them immediately lifted their breath and jumped downward, avoiding the clutter of branches falling to the ground.

But as soon as his feet touched the ground, the two of them changed color at the same time, and Li Qingyu reacted the fastest. Reaching out his hand, a spirit vine rolled up a branch above, and then jumped up with the help of his strength and stepped on a horizontal trunk. Although Yu Chen's reaction was a step slower, after all, his cultivation and experience were there, and as soon as he reacted, he took out the Chang Gung umbrella and opened it, and a stream of air flew up with him. However, he didn't fly high, just enough to stand on the nearest branch to the ground.

The two of them stood still and looked at their shoes in unison, and then each used some means to remove the dirt from the uppers. Look at each other again.

"No wonder this place is said to be able to save one's life only by spiritual cultivation, this is the only way to hide such a swamp on the periphery, I don't know what kind of harsh environment it should be in the Soul Ridge."

"It's my fault." Li Qingyu lightly jumped to Yu Chen's side, stretched out his hand and pressed on the trunk of the tree next to him, "I was blinded by the sight I saw, and I forgot to communicate with these trees in advance, if I communicated in advance, there would be no such thing." ”

Under the feet of the two of them, the swamp that almost made them walk just now has been restored to its original appearance, and it looks like ordinary land at a rough glance, but if you look closely, you will find that the soil below is very wet, and if a slightly heavier object falls into it, it will quickly sink, if it weren't for the fact that both of them are spiritual, maybe they would have lost their lives just now.

"You're not wrong, it's just a lack of experience, eat a trench and grow wise, you can pay attention to it in the future, but this can give us a wake-up call, the spirit array or something is secondary, first of all, the environment here is enough to 'eat people', if you don't deal with it carefully, you may not have the chance to see those natural spirit arrays."

A few minutes later, Li Qingyu roughly understood the situation in the vicinity, stretched out his hand and pointed to a big gray stone not far away and said, "Do you see that stone, that is the closest edge of this swamp according to us, let's go over first." ”

"You're restricted, or I'll take you, right?"

"Not yet, the woods are my advantageous place, even if my cultivation is limited, I have a natural ability bonus, so that I don't even lose my ability to move, if I need to, I will inform you in advance."

"Okay."

……

Dense forests and low mountains, the terrain on the periphery of the Soul Ridge is not too complicated, but coupled with the unique natural environment, the inexperienced two are often in a hurry, occasionally a small snake sprang out from the side or a poisonous insect falling from it will startle them, and even absinthe had to run out of Yu Chen's cuffs and coil around his neck to help guard the surroundings.

Because there is a canopy covering, so the night in the woods comes exceptionally early, almost at the same time as the sun goes down, there is no light source in the woods, and you can't see your five fingers, you don't have to hope to find a natural cave for spending the night in such a place, but fortunately, there is Li Qingyu, an open hanging artifact, plus there are all kinds of plants around, a big "bird's nest" solves all the problems.

Looking at this huge but exquisite "bird's nest" hanging between several large trees, Yu Chen expressed his admiration for Li Qingyu's craftsmanship, and then got into it before it was completely dark. Because they were afraid that poisonous insects and poisonous snakes would come in in the middle of the night, although the two of them were not afraid of ordinary insects, but it was a trouble after all, so Li Qingyu sealed the entire bird's nest to death, leaving no gaps at all, and then both of them entered a state of breathing to reduce the consumption of air, although the space was closed, but the volume of the "bird's nest" was large enough, and there was no problem at all to hold on until dawn.

In this way, the two spent their first night in the Soul Ridge.

After resting enough, both the two of them recovered to their best physical and mental state, and opened the bird's nest early the next morning to get back on the road, but who knew that as soon as they opened the exit, the two were stunned by the scene in front of them.

Although the woods are still the same woods, the thick and viscous fog in front of them makes the two of them unable to see even a foot in front of them, and they feel that their entire lungs are soaked in water when they take a breath, which makes people uncomfortable.

Yu Chen, who couldn't bear it, cleared the space within a radius of a few zhang with a wave of spiritual power, which made him feel better.

"It's too wet!" If it's like this all day, it's not suitable for human life at all. Yu Chen sighed.

As a spirit of plants and trees, his feelings for the environment are more delicate than that of humans, Li Qingyu stretched out his hand and scratched in the mist, knowing that this scene would not last long, so he explained to him: "There will be a rain later, and the fog will fade after the heavy rain." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the two of them heard the sound of a drizzling rain not far away, and soon a downpour began from the west and east, but in a quarter of an hour the whole forest became clear, and there was no thicker fog than before.

Looking at the stream below that appeared because of the heavy rain, Yu Chen sighed: "With such a strange weather, it's no wonder that we are swamps everywhere along the way, and the entire Soul Ridge is like being blistered in water, which is more suitable for the survival of water system spirituality than Boyang Mansion." ”

Li Qingyu disagreed: "The Soul Ridge is so big, we are still on the periphery now, maybe it won't be like this further inside?" ”

"That's right." Yu Chen was not stubborn, put away the Chang Geng umbrella that he had just used as an umbrella, shook off the small water droplets on it and put it into the storage ring, "The rain has stopped, let's continue to move forward." ”

"Well, but I always feel that there may be danger in the future, and I feel a little mysterious in my heart, so it's better for us to be careful."

"Understood."

Although she was prepared, Li Qingyu's sense of danger did not disappear, but became more and more obvious as she walked forward, but no matter how she asked and observed through the plants next to her, there was no way to find out what specific danger was ahead, so she could only be more vigilant.

Under her influence, Yu Chen also paid attention to the movements in all directions with a hundred thousand points of caution, although he did not hold a Chang Geng umbrella in his hand, he carried a short sword of good quality, which did not affect his actions and could be taken just in case.

Just an hour after the two of them set off from the place where they were staying overnight, a strong wind suddenly blew in the woods, which had only a light breeze, and blew the huge trees in this area with a loud noise, and a lot of cyan leaves fell, and with this gust of wind, a salty smell blew from not far away, making the two of them change their faces at the same time.

It's the smell of blood!

And judging from the taste, the source of the smell is not close to here, but there is still such a strong smell when the wind blows here, and there must be more than a little bit of blood there.

Feeling a little frightened by this smell, Li Qingyu frowned and looked at Yu Chen: "We...... Would you like to go over and have a look? I have a bad feeling. ”

Yu Chen pondered for a while before replying: "Go and take a look, if it's really dangerous, just get out as soon as possible." ”

“…… All right. ”-
