291. Sand Scorpion
Returning from the depths of Yunling, Ye Ning was in a very bad mood.
The teleportation array that the Hao Nan brothers and sisters arrived here is actually a teleportation array that has been handed down from ancient times, and it is also surrounded by mountains, a secluded valley, where it is not a secret realm, it is a person who can enter and leave at will, but it is located in the depths of the Yunling Mountains, and few people will go anywhere.
From the usage records of the teleportation array, Ye Ning easily found that there were many people who entered and exited through this place, both in and out, and the farthest record could be pushed back hundreds of years ago, although the frequency of the use of the teleportation array was not high, but the number of entries and exits recorded on it had also reached more than 100 times, and in the past half a month alone, there have been four times to enter and one to leave.
Ye Ning did not directly dismantle the teleportation array like Evergreen Valley, but just left after noting down the location.
With something on his mind, he was not very interested in the trip to Taiji Palace, especially if he had already learned from Li Yaxin's mouth that Taiji Palace was planning to explore the Immortal Palace of the Heavenly Master in the near future, and joined forces with Chunyang Palace and Taiqing Gate, whether there were other sects involved, I don't know for the time being.
Therefore, after a little calculation, Ye Ning prepared a generous gift and handed it to Li Yaxin as a congratulatory gift to congratulate the founding of the Taiji Palace, and he himself found an excuse not to go to the Taiji Palace, but returned directly to the secret realm, he planned to find out where the core of the secret realm was in the shortest possible time.
Without meeting Cao Na and the others to say hello, Ye Ning went deep into the depths of the secret realm and began to look for the formation hub.
If this secret realm is really a big array as Li Yaxin said, there will naturally be a formation hub, or find the eye of the formation.
As for what to do after finding the formation hub. Ye Ning hadn't thought about it yet, and now he wasn't allowed to have extra time to ponder.
The first few times I explored the secret realm, I was limited by the realm of cultivation, so I could only choose one direction, and then continue to go deeper. Even if it is flying in the sky, it is a short flight, and it rarely lasts for several hours, on the one hand, in order not to miss the details, and on the other hand, to avoid being attacked by the monsters in the air.
Ye Ning had already encountered aerial demon beasts in the secret realm more than once. It was not an ordinary toughness, so that in the next few explorations, Ye Ning not only did not dare to go into the air, but also did not dare to easily break into the too large forest on the ground, where not only the monsters in the air were terrifying, but the monsters on the land could not be underestimated.
But since his double cultivation. There was no longer a chance to delve into the secret realm, and now that the cultivation had reached the peak of the Jindan stage, not only was it easy for the sword to fly, but the coverage of the divine sense had already exceeded the range of thousands of miles, not a few hundred meters that could be compared to the original. Therefore, when I revisited the secret realm, I had a lot less scruples, and I didn't even bother to choose the direction, and went directly thousands of miles.
The divine consciousness spreads out, and the scenes within a radius of thousands of miles form a complete three-dimensional painting in the mind. Never as blind as it used to be.
Ye Ning soon noticed the abnormality, and almost didn't think about it, and when he boarded the sword, he flew into the air. Overlooking the secret realm, the sight that caught his eyes surprised him, within the coverage of his divine sense, there were two winding and undulating mountain ranges, stretching into the depths of the secret realm at an angle.
The direction in which you entered. It is located in the open area between the two mountain ranges, and the deeper you go to the secret realm. The smaller the angle between the two mountain ranges, the more likely they were to eventually converge, and beyond the two mountain ranges, it was beyond the scope of his divine sense.
In other words, his position is exactly in the middle of the two mountain ranges, about a thousand miles away from the mountains on the left and right.
Ye Ning smiled bitterly, no longer hesitated at the moment, and threw himself into the depths of the secret realm along the valley between the two mountain ranges. …,
In just a few minutes of revealing his figure in the air, several golden shadows pounced in the distance, and countless black dots appeared in the air one after another in the distance, rushing towards Ye Ning overwhelmingly, without even looking, Ye Ning already knew that the golden shadow that appeared in the lead was the golden eagle he had encountered a few times before, and a young eagle almost killed him at the beginning, and at this time it was already in the depths of the secret realm, so he naturally didn't want to provoke.
Xingyao's speed was far from being comparable to those aerial demon beasts, and in a few breaths, Ye Ning had already gone thousands of miles deeper, although he continued to encounter aerial demon beasts, he didn't have time to intercept him.
Divine consciousness has always observed the mountains on both sides, and sure enough, as he goes deeper, the angle between the two mountain ranges becomes smaller and smaller, and gradually, his divine consciousness has crossed these two mountain ranges and covered them in his divine consciousness, but beyond these two mountain ranges, it is similar to the situation where he is currently located, there is almost no big difference, as if there is no end.
After going deeper for more than half an hour, Ye Ning's expression revealed a hint of joy, and his divine consciousness had already detected the other two mountain ranges, that is to say, in the shroud of divine consciousness, there had been four mountain ranges and three valleys at the angle, the four mountain ranges were very similar in shape, but the scenery of the three valleys was different, the flowers on the left were like flowers, the river valley on the right was vertical and horizontal, and the valley where Ye Ning was located had completely become a desert, and there was no end in sight.
If it weren't for his divine sense, and the coverage area was more than 2,000 miles in diameter, Ye Ning would be at a loss if he was in the desert.
Judging from the situation observed by the divine sense, these four mountain ranges and three valleys will eventually converge in the depths, what Ye Ning has to do now is to rush to the depths of the secret realm, to the intersection of the mountains and the valley to have a look, he has a slight guess in his heart, perhaps, the core hub of the secret realm is at the intersection of the valley.
After a few hours, the surprise in Ye Ning's eyes became stronger and stronger, and he noticed that these mountains were actually similar to the valleys, and the deeper they went to the secret realm, the narrower the span of the mountain ranges, from the width of hundreds of miles at the beginning to the span of only tens of miles now, and the mountains were not as rugged as they were at the beginning, but became lower and gentle, which was quite anticlimactic.
But these mountain ranges do point to the deepest part of the secret realm, in Ye Ning's divine sense, the fifth mountain range has appeared, and then the sixth mountain range and the fifth valley have appeared, he is more and more surprised in his heart, by this time, he has already been seventy or eighty percent sure, I believe Li Yaxin's speculation, this place has indeed been arranged into a large array, but fortunately, this large array seems to have something wrong and has not been activated.
When he finally arrived at the end of the valley, Ye Ning was shocked by the scene in front of him, this is a sea of sand thousands of miles long, the naked eye can't see the end at all, although only the tails of six mountain ranges appear in his divine sense, but from the perspective of the distribution of these six mountain ranges, there should be three mountain ranges, forming a pattern of nine veins and eight valleys.
When he arrived at the edge of the sand sea, the six mountain ranges were already difficult to detect, if he hadn't already had such a pattern in his heart, Ye Ning would only regard the remaining veins that stretched into the sand sea as endless sand dunes, and he would not connect these winding sand dunes with those large mountain ranges that stretched for tens of millions of miles, he had a strong premonition that this sand sea was the real source of the secret realm.
Feeling out a formation disk, Ye Ning found a slightly flat place at the edge of the sand sea, opened the array disk, and then sat cross-legged in the formation to recover the consumption of the road along the way, the aura of the sand sea is very thin, almost the same as the secular world, so Ye Ning can only rely on the pill to restore the true yuan.
It was the first time he had flown for so long, and it was much harder than the time he had tracked down the Nether Aura. …,
When tracking the Netherworld Qi, because of the continuous replenishment of the Yin and Yang Wheel, and the flight also relied on the Yin and Yang Wheel, Ye Ning's own consumption was not large, but this time the Edgeworth's flight was all supported by his own True Yuan, although he was not exhausted at this time, but no one knew what kind of accidents he would encounter after going deep into the Sand Sea, so Ye Ning first restored his spirit to the best condition out of caution.
Even in the depths of this absolutely safe secret realm, Ye Ning never gave up the slightest caution, he still took out the formation plate and laid out the formation, not only supporting himself in all directions, but also activating the concealment function to completely hide the formation.
In his previous life, when he was in the source pluto, I don't know how many things he had heard of capsizing in the gutter, with his cautious and cautious nature, he was still attacked in the Phantom Star Divine Array, let alone someone who intended to be lucky? Therefore, Ye Ning's cautious temperament has never changed.
From morning to night, Ye Ning spent most of his time just by hurrying, and not long after he entered the formation to meditate, the sky was completely dark.
In the sea of sand under the night, the wind gradually rose, and the boundless yellow sand was swept up by the wind, which infected the already dull night into a gray-brown color, and the dust and smoke were billowing out, almost to the extent that you could not see your fingers.
When Ye Ning woke up from the meditation, he happened to observe the situation in the sea of sand, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice, if he hadn't opened the array in advance and hid in the defensive array, he was afraid that he would be blind at this time.
In such a situation, it was naturally not suitable to continue to investigate deeply, Ye Ning simply waited for dawn in the array, but when he inadvertently dispersed his divine sense, he was startled by what he suddenly saw.
In the boundless wind and sand, countless strange-shaped scorpions walk like the wind, walking and playing in the yellow sand, these scorpions are very close to the color of the yellow sand, almost one body, the big ones are more than four meters long, and the small ones are six or seven inches long, which looks extremely terrifying.
When Ye Ning found these sand scorpions, there happened to be a scorpion of a foot length shaking his head and slamming into the defensive array where Ye Ning was hiding, and the defensive array that had been hidden shook for a while, emitting a milky white halo, and shot out the scorpion that hit it, but the halo of the formation also weakened a little, and the sand scorpions attracted by the halo jumped over seven or eight of them, Ye Ning couldn't help but change his face, and he couldn't help but cry bitterly in his heart.
