Chapter 72: Entering the Mountains for the First Time (The Third Watch Has Arrived, Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)

Mountains are crisscrossed by mountains throughout the Southern Regions, and the 100,000 Great Mountains, as the largest mountain range, occupy the southernmost vast area of the Southern Regions. Not only that, but there are also many remnants of the 100,000 Mountains that penetrate deep into the northern states, and the Empty Styx Mountain is one of them.

The Void Styx Mountain is shrouded in a thick miasma all year round, and it is extremely poisonous, even if it is a master of the Transformation Realm, he does not dare to enter it easily.

This also makes it rarely interfered with by the human race, and there are a lot of spiritual grass and spirit fruits hidden.

There are only a few days of the year when strong winds blow away the miasma, and this is the best opportunity for the Terrans to explore.

But after all, there is the remnant vein of the 100,000 mountains, although the demon clan is blocked by the defense of the front line, and it is rarely infested. But there are still a large number of poisonous insects and beasts that have not yet opened their spiritual intelligence, and that is also the most primitive state of the demon race. They are all instinctive, extremely fierce and brutal, and their strength is comparable to the true demons, big demons and even demon spirits of the demon clan.

A Qi Control Realm martial artist like Huo Xiu went to the Empty Styx Mountain alone, which was basically a life of nine deaths, but fortunately, he got a map from Mu Lao, which marked a fairly safe route, which also added a lot of confidence to him.

However, as soon as he entered the Empty Immortal Mountain, Huo Xiu was given a dismount here.

In the middle of the mountain pass indicated on the map, dozens of apes more than one zhang tall have used this place as their territory, and the leader is as high as three zhang.

These are ordinary beasts that have not opened their spiritual intelligence, but they are also very difficult to deal with, Huo Xiu asked himself, if he wants to kill them, he has to spend a lot of true qi.

But in order to hurry, he was quite tired, and he had to go deep into the depths of the Empty Immortal Mountain, Huo Xiu wanted to have spare strength to deal with the crisis that might arise at any time.

Huo Xiu also thought of using the ability of Yan Luo Bu to rush straight towards the cliffs on both sides. However, firstly, the cliff is too steep, the soil and rocks are unstable, and it is easy to step on the air, and secondly, the journey is too long, and the consumption of true qi is too great.

Therefore, you can only find a way to get around, but you can't force your way through.

In desperation, Huo Xiu had no choice but to climb up the nearby hill, wanting to check if there was a shortcut nearby that could bypass the mountain pass.

At this moment, Huo Xiu suddenly found that several figures quietly appeared outside the mountain pass.

The number of people was not large, about ten people, but they were disciplined and neatly formed, as if they were a small group.

Walking in the front are two middle-aged men, one tall and one short. They walked vigorously, and they seemed to be not low in cultivation.

At the back, there are five or six big men, although their cultivation is not as good as the two middle-aged men at the front, but they are better than the crowd, so that people dare not peep at all.

In the middle of the group were three fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys, one of whom was in sturdy form, the other two much shorter, and were therefore protected from danger.

On closer inspection, these more than a dozen people were actually dressed in uniform clothes, and a big chronicle was embroidered on their backs.

"Ji family!?"

Huo Xiumeng came to his senses, no wonder he was very familiar with those teenagers. It turned out to be Ji Wuji and his two younger brothers, Ji Chong and Ji Xuan. As for the middle-aged man in front of them, he should be their elders, and behind them are the family members and nurses raised by the Ji family.

"Why did the people of the Ji family appear here, could it be for the spirit grass and spirit fruit in the Empty Styx Mountain, or was there another purpose?"

Huo Xiu couldn't help but be a little puzzled, but thinking that the Ji family had always regarded itself as a big family, it was not surprising that he came in a group.

Although there are few demon clans in this Empty Underworld Mountain, there are a large number of fierce beasts hidden, and their combat power is not weaker than that of true demons and big demons.

The Ji family came in a group, and they also brought a few juniors who were dragging their feet, most of them to train them and improve their actual combat ability.

As for whether he is still looking for the spirit grass spirit fruit by the way, it is unknown. After all, the peaks of the Empty Styx Mountain are endless and inaccessible, and without guidance, it is easy to get lost, let alone find a specific target.

Huo Xiu calculated the time, two days had passed since the miasma dissipated, and he still had five days to pick the Ice Spirit Fruit and leave the Empty Styx Mountain, which was quite plenty of time.

Huo Xiu decided to follow behind the Ji family first, find out their true purpose, and then make other plans.

Huo Xiu and the Ji family have a lot of contradictions, if they can bring them trouble, Huo Xiu is also quite happy to see it.

Just as Huo Xiu was thinking about his next step, Ji Wuji and the others had already met the ape that occupied the mountain pass, and the two sides immediately fought together.

As Huo Xiu expected, the more than ten people of the Ji family divided the ape group, and the two middle-aged men stopped most of the apes, and the rest were in groups of two or three people to deal with one ape. And Ji Wuer was the most brave, and rushed to the ape king who was more than three feet tall alone.

Huo Xiu could see that with the strength of those two middle-aged men, he could destroy this group of apes in an instant. But they didn't do it, obviously to train these juniors of the Ji family.

After all, even ordinary beasts that didn't have their minds turned on couldn't deal with it, let alone those cunning demon clans.

Ji Wuji's combat power was really not low, and I saw that his whole body was wrapped in earthy yellow true qi, and he was fighting with the ape king.

Although the size was far apart, Ji Wuji relied on his vigorous posture to dodge the powerful attacks of the Ape King again and again.

Moreover, Ji Wuer also launched counterattacks from time to time, flying and jumping, and his fists came out frequently, directly attacking the chest and abdomen of the ape king.

The ape king had a brute force, but he had nowhere to use it, so he had to keep roaring.

In contrast, Ji Chong and Ji Xuan were much inferior, they were both under the escort of two or three big men before they dared to face an ordinary ape. Rao is like this, and he is still in danger, and he was almost hit several times.

Just as the two sides were in a fight, Ji Wuji shrank violently, dodged the grinding disc-sized fist of the Ape King, and then soared into the air and punched the opponent in the face.

"Rock Crush Fist!"

The Ape King watched the tiny human pounce on him, his fist bubbling with a layer of earthy yellow light, and he couldn't help but be horrified, and hurriedly raised his left hand to protect his face.

Boom!

Ji Wuji's rock shattering fist directly pierced the left palm of the Ape King. Not only that, but the residual strength of the fist was so great that it even pushed the fleshy palm and slammed it directly into the ape king's face. The force of the impact opened the door in front of the beast, causing the beast to cry out in pain.

When the dozen or so apes around heard this, they immediately looked over and found that their leader had been seriously injured, and they all gave up on the opponent in front of them and rushed towards Ji Wuji desperately.

For a moment, the scene became extremely chaotic.
