Chapter Eighty-Five: Heading to the Demon Wind Mountains
In the early morning, the morning glow appeared in the east, and the vast forest was filled with a light veil of mist.
When Xu Ning woke up, he still held the jade pendant in his hand, so he hung it back around his neck. Pushed open the stone door and walked out.
A thin young man in white was sitting cross-legged on the rooftop, closing his eyes and concentrating, concentrating on meditation and cultivation, it was none other than Chen Jin, the master of Fengyun Hall.
Xu Ning was inconvenient to disturb, so he walked to the front edge of the suspended rooftop alone, looking at the vast wild land under his feet, but he felt refreshed as if he was soaking in a potion made of elixir.
Countless morning birds surround the forest sky, so it's not lively.
There were also wisps of refreshing fragrance of flowers and fruits, which led Xu Ning to look everywhere for the source of this smell, and found that there were several strange flowers and plants growing above the cliff overhead, and the red petals were extremely large, and this fragrance was obviously emanating from these flowers.
"The name of this mountain is Juling Peak, which has the meaning of gathering the aura of heaven and earth." Chen Jing said lightly.
Xu Ning followed the prestige and saw that his originally pale face was faintly covered with a layer of red light, and he took a long breath and opened his eyes and stood up.
"We have lived here for a long time, and we have been impregnated with the treasure of this heaven and earth intentionally or unintentionally, which is of great benefit to the cultivation of the martial vein." Chen Jin continued, "The martial cultivators who have invested in Rashomon have already surpassed ordinary people in the world, and we worship Rashomon just to get the high-grade spirit runes of the top-grade cheats, and another point is the aura gathered on Tongtian Peak. ”
Xu Ning nodded yes.
Chen Jin finally said: "And this Gathering Spirit Peak, which is located in a wild land, is the most suitable for cultivation. ”
The two of them returned from the high platform to the cavern below, the council chamber.
Xu Ning found that the red crystals in the small cave in the stone wall had become much darker, presumably because the light in the cave had become stronger during the day.
Breakfast was the cooked meat of the demon beast and some wild fruits, Chen Jin was also amazed to see the large amount of food Xu Ning, he could absorb the essence and blood contained in the flesh and blood of the demon beast every day, which was of great help to the cultivation of the martial vein. Especially in the cultivation of body refining exercises, the effect is more direct.
After eating, the two of them walked through the long tunnel and came to the outside of the entrance, where the winged eagle was still sleeping peacefully on one side.
Chen Jin pointed to the distance and said to Xu Ning: "Dongzhou is in this direction, which is the route we took from Tongtian Peak to here yesterday. ”
Xu Ning looked at him and pointed to another place: "Today we are going to inspect the Demon Suppression Mountain in the west, and by the way, we will obtain some high-grade demon beast magic crystals to use to improve our cultivation." ”
Inspecting the Demon Mountain? What is this task? Xu Ning was puzzled.
Chen Jin asked with a smile: "You only know that the demon beasts on this wild continent will often harm the survival of human beings when the beast tide is raging, but you have never heard of the mutant beasts of the Demon Wind Mountain Range, right?" ”
"Mutants?" Xu Ning shook his head and didn't know.
"This wild continent is full of demonic spirits and evil things, and the west side of the Demon Suppression Mountain is the most powerful. High-grade demon beasts grow there to absorb demonic energy, not only have they improved their demonic power, but their spirituality has also become more human. The ruddy complexion on Chen Jin's original face disappeared again, and he regained his usual paleness.
It took a lot of effort for Chen Jin to give Xu Ning a general understanding of the world he was in now.
Originally, this wild continent was bounded by the Demon Wind Mountain Range, and was divided into east and west. The eastern continent borders the eastern continent, and due to the influence of popularity, this demonic aura will not be too strong.
But the west side is different, and it is said that no one has ever reached the end. Because the demonic evil qi that breeds and gathers there is really terrifying, no matter how powerful a martial cultivator is, as long as he enters the hinterland of the west, he will not be able to escape death.
I don't know when, in order to prevent those evil qi from spreading to the continent where human beings live, the powerful martial cultivators of the ancient times united to use powerful spells to erect a demon suppression tower that could suppress demonic monsters in the demonic wind mountain range.
It is not known how many years it has been since the Demon Suppression Tower stood in the Demon Wind Mountain Range, in short, it was a thousand years ago.
The martial cultivators of the Soul Continent have experienced countless bloody battles for thousands of years. But there is one sect that has always been the guardian of the Demon Suppression Tower, and this is the Rashomon of Tongtian Peak.
Since the day of the establishment of the mountain, Rashomon has always existed only to protect the tower, far away from the troubles of the world.
It's just that later, I can't completely stay out of the world, and I am slowly disturbed by the world.
But this matter of protecting the tower has never dared to be completely unloaded, and the Fengyun Hall is specially set up here by Rashomon to protect the tower.
Besides, this is still an excellent place to cultivate martial arts.
Xu Ning listened to what Chen Jin said, and understood a lot in his heart, but he just thought to himself: "Since the demonic qi here is so powerful, the two of them are inevitably too weak. ”
He wanted to express his doubts, but then he changed his mind: "Senior Brother Chen Jin has been here for more than a year, isn't it okay, it seems that there are more or less legends in these words." ”
So he didn't ask any more, as Chen Jin went to the cave to get a large package of dry food, and walked out of the cave door without any further delay, the huge skywing horned eagle beast was long gone, and it was not clear where it flew to forage for food.
Xu Ning had also been to the Barbarian Mansion before, and the scenery along the way was no different.
The mountains stretch endlessly, the high mountains reach into the sky, and the sky is lush and green, and the canopy of the trees is like a huge canopy covering the sky overhead.
The two of them traveled all the way to the west, carrying the method of moving quickly. When he crawled to the edge of a cliff out of a high mountain, Chen Jin motioned to stop and rest.
They were all running wildly continuously, and in less than half a day, they had already walked hundreds of miles, and their bodies gradually felt tired.
Chen Jin secretly exclaimed surprise in his heart: Xu Ning and his martial arts cultivation were obviously much worse, but this body technique was extremely exquisite, and he didn't fall behind at all.
He took the water bag from Xu Ning's hand, took a sip and said, "After this Wangtian Cliff, you have to be careful, the demon beasts here are quite terrifying, and you can't compare to those you encounter in Tongtian Peak." ”
He took out a black pill from his body and asked Xu Ning to swallow: "The following itinerary will make you feel stuffy and blocked in your chest, this pill can help you purify your heart and detoxify, and greatly reduce the loss of qi in your body." ”
Xu Ning thanked him and took it immediately, feeling slightly bitter. From this cliff, there is a high mountain in the distance vaguely presented in the black mist, presumably the Demon Wind Mountain Range.
After a short rest, the two flew down and continued to find their way.
The vegetation gradually became scarcer, and the original lush and vivid greenery gradually became much deeper, and the long grass and leaves beside the mountain road were generally charred and yellow.
The more I walked forward, the thicker the fog became, the more intense the dirt brought by the air, and my chest really began to sink down.
The Gang Qi in Liu Ning's body began to operate, dispersing the turbid qi.
"Moo!"
A cry like that of a bison came from somewhere ahead.
Liu Ning was very curious that there would be bison in such a strange place.
"This is the seventh-grade demon beast on the Heavenly Demon List, the Red Eye Cow." Chen Jin said to him.
"Seven-pin Akame Beef?"
"Yes, don't underestimate that it's just a seventh-grade demon beast, after being impregnated by demonic qi here, the destructive power of these demon beasts has been greatly enhanced." Chen Jin reminded, "But this beast is not too violent, it does not feed on meat, as long as it is not provoked, it will not take the initiative to attack us." ”
He didn't go far before Liu Ning saw a few strong long-horned demon beasts standing under a dead tree with crooked necks, just as Chen Jin said, when these cows stared at them, their eyes were blood-red, and they didn't attack them, and their posture was clearly a deterrent defense.
He no longer paid attention to it and continued to follow Chen Jin.
When I walked to a deep pool, I saw that the water in the pool was dirty and black, and there were some fallen leaves and white foam floating on it. The strong stench and turbidity aggravated a lot, and Xu Ning slightly felt that there were some sinister creatures hidden in the surrounding bushes and those long grasses with blackened leaves.
Chen Jin also became vigilant and took out his long sword: "Be careful, there are many evil spirits and evil spirits gathered here." ”
Liu Ning was puzzled and asked, "What is the evil spirit and resentful soul?" ”
Chen Jin still had a solemn face, and said in a deep voice: "I only read it from the books and classics in the door, the five continents are recorded in it, and there is a record of this place about the wild land, this big pond is called 'Blood Pool', you can see that the water here is black, but inside is extremely scarlet and stinky blood." Be careful. ”
The first time Liu Ning heard about these strange and terrifying things, he couldn't help but feel a chill behind him.
The two of them bypassed this place, slowed down their pace, and after rounding a small mountain pass, the Demon Wind Mountain was close in front of them.
Between the mountains and mountains of the Demon Wind Mountain, there were streams of black miasma, which sometimes drifted everywhere and sometimes formed puffs of black smoke, like countless black snakes passing around.
"Demon Suppression Peak is in the middle of this Demon Wind Mountain Range." Chen Jin looked at the sky, it was already noon at this time, he was a little worried, "The road to the Demon Mountain is rugged and dangerous, let's rest here today and wait for tomorrow morning before entering the mountain." ”
The demonic qi of the Demon Wind Mountain is still relatively weak during the day, and once it reaches the night, the demonic qi will suddenly become much stronger, not to mention what danger is encountered at night, even if the two of them are martial arts masters with unique skills, they will still be greatly discounted, after all, this person and the demon beasts that are dormant at night are not comparable to the familiarity of the environment.
The two of them were looking for a place to stay near this small valley, and Chen Jin was already quite familiar with Yiqiē here, and found a relatively clean sand and gravel flat land, and prepared to spend the night here.
Liu Ning was just about to take off the dry food and water bag he was carrying, when he heard a fierce demon beast screaming, and the extremely violent momentum could be seen that the ability of this demon beast was very terrifying.
Suddenly, I felt a strong aura on the top of my head pressing down.
The two of them had quickly avoided it, and as soon as their feet landed, they heard a series of loud bursting noises of "boom, boom, boom", and looked back to see that the big bluestone that was sitting had turned into powder, and a blue-green thing appeared in the dust.
"Thundercloud Lizard!" Chen Jin's face was grim, and he could know the damaging power of this demon beast from his brow.
Xu Ning turned on the qi in his body, his eyes widened, looking at this thundercloud lizard, only to see that from its turquoise body, there was a white electric light "stinging" sound from time to time, Xu Ning was surprised: "This demon beast has a very high IQ, and it actually understands the sneak attack just now." ”
The turquoise monster shook its head and looked up at the two prey ten feet away.
The body of the Thundercloud Lizard was similar to the red-eyed cow just now, and it was not big compared to some of the giant monsters that Liu Ning had seen before. It's just that the white fireworks that flash from its body from time to time reveal an unusual and terrifying ability,
Both of them spread their postures, waiting for the opportunity to move, and each of them separated from one left and one right to prepare for the enemy.
"Thorn Thorn Thorn"
The current on the thundercloud lizard was obviously strong, its long beak was closed, and a scarlet slender tongue kept spitting out and inhaling.
"This is a monster beast that is good at long-range attacks, no matter which of the two of us is attacked first, the other one must seize this opportunity to fly up and give this beast a head-on blow." Chen Jinti said, the long sword in his hand shining in the sunlight.
