One hundred and seventy-eight chapters
At the moment when the iron-backed wolf jumped towards Ning Yuan two zhang away, Ning Yuan stabbed the spear out without the slightest hesitation.
After the spear was stabbed, two iron-backed wolves sprang out from both sides again, taking advantage of Ning Yuan's old move to bite Ning Yuan's neck and thighs.
"One head is luring the enemy, and the two are flanked." Ning Yuan understood the predatory strategy used by these ironback wolves at a glance out of the corner of his eye.
"It's a pity that the sneak attack didn't work for me." Ning Yuan's mind flashed through the endless sneak attack routines in the earth puppet labyrinth, and he whispered to himself. The man followed the gun and rushed forward, throwing behind the two iron-backed wolves that were attacking from the side.
After the spear pierced into the lower abdomen of the iron-backed wolf who could not turn in the air, Ning Yuan's figure turned the tail of the gun in front, and the body of the spear rotated, and the tail of the spear struck towards the iron-backed wolf who attacked first.
After forcing the forward ironback wolf back, he grabbed the body of the spear close to the head of the spear and smashed the spear into the other attacking ironback wolf.
Just after Ning Yuan forced the two iron-backed wolves to retreat, several more iron-backed wolves rushed up behind him. Ning Yuan's figure turned to the side and retreated. He turned the spear upside down while retreating, and then pierced an iron-backed wolf with a strong shock, and then threw the wolf corpse in the direction of the other two iron-backed wolves that were scurrying up at the same time, and when the two iron-backed wolves dodged, they threw another shot at the iron-backed wolf on the side, smashing the iron-backed wolf to the ground.
Taking a light breath, the muscles of his arm swelled slightly, his feet moved, and he rushed forward in broken steps, and a shot pierced through the wide open mouth of an iron-backed wolf, and vigorously smashed the two iron-backed wolves on the side who intended to sneak attack.
Ning Yuan actually wanted to kill these dozen iron-backed wolves without difficulty, and with all his strength, none of these iron-backed wolves with only the initial strength of the fierce level could make a single move in his hands. But there's no need to do that.
Ning Yuan hoped that he could more accurately grasp the strengthened physical condition through these iron-backed wolves.
Although the number of deaths of the iron-backed wolves was slowly increasing, perhaps because there was not a single pain, these iron-backed wolves did not retreat.
By the time the head wolf watching from a distance realized that something was wrong, Ning Yuan was already familiar with his body and didn't plan to continue playing.
"Big mountain", Ning Yuan forced the several iron-backed wolves concentrated in front of him to retreat, and a faint majesty suddenly floated on his body, and the spear danced with a spear flower, and a faint oppressive aura shrouded in the range of the spear flower, and then several iron-backed wolves that were suppressed on the spot suddenly burst open.
This scene completely frightened the surrounding ironback wolves and the head wolves in the rear.
Hearing the wolf howl, all the ironback wolves immediately turned around and fled into the distance.
Ning Yuan put away his gun and looked at the wolf head that had exploded, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.
The "Great Mountain" under full force can shatter the enamel defense layer of the earthen puppet gatekeeper with the power of suppression alone, and it is naturally not a problem to explode the wolf heads of several iron-backed wolves.
However, what caught Ning Yuan's attention was that the "Great Mountain Potential" he used this time was extremely natural and smooth, and it could be said that just by moving his thoughts, his body and mental will naturally fit into the state required by the "Great Mountain Potential".
"Is this the true effect of the exercise runes?" Ning Yuan thought silently in his heart.
After having the rune, the rune can be activated by the movement, and after the rune is activated, the body and spirit will automatically meet the conditions for the rune to be activated. It can be said that it is really the instinct that forms the exercise moves through the runes.
"However, the first use did not contain the power. Maybe it will take a lot of practice to really send and receive freely. ”
Half an hour later, Ning Yuan finally arrived at the location of the sparkling waves he had seen at first. It was indeed not out of Ning Yuan's expectation that it was a vast lake.
Looking along the shore of the lake in the direction of the Ten Thousand Mountains in the distance, Ning Yuan saw the dark gorge that Fan Xiu remembered that connected to the sea.
The scattered mountains form a triangular canyon over the rivers where the lakes and the sea flow.
Ning Yuan walked along the shore of the lake towards the entrance to the canyon that Fan Xiu called Longwei Gorge. According to a memory that Fan Xiu packed up that did not belong to him, there was the last gift given to him by the Qin Alliance.
"Dragon Prisoner Jedi" is not calm to say, perhaps because not many people have visited it in the past 10,000 years, and it has become a paradise for monsters.
But I don't know for what reason, at least the demon beasts that Ning Yuan has seen so far are basically fierce-level demon beasts. And it's basically the early stage of the fierce level, that is, the level of the cultivator level.
"It stands to reason that there has been no cultivator infestation for 10,000 years, and the demon beasts here are everywhere, and the strength is terrifying, but it seems that it is inferior to the periphery of the dragon's blood forest."
Ning Yuan muttered to himself in confusion.
Indeed, as far as Ning Yuan saw at the beginning, although the periphery of Longsen was also dominated by fierce-level demon beasts, in addition to a large number of primary demon beasts, mid-level demon beasts were by no means uncommon. Moreover, the density and scale of the distribution of demon beasts are also much higher than here. Although there must have been a reason why the beast tide was approaching at that time.
Ning Yuan frowned and killed a manic rhinoceros bull and looked around.
In less than an hour, Ning Yuan had already encountered no less than six waves of demon beast attacks. It was normal to be attacked by demon beasts, as Ning Yuan passed their territory along the lake. But what is not normal is the number of these demon beasts.
Not too much, but too little.
According to Ning Yuan's common sense based on the memory of the boundary line, whether it is a rhinoceros cow, an ironback wolf, a velvet rabbit or a glacier-tongued deer, it is not a community of only a dozen or so.
Not to mention the rhinoceros cow and the iron-backed wolf, the velvet rabbit is famous for its ability to give birth, and a litter of 100 is considered a few. But here, there are only a dozen or twenty of these little guys who have just stepped into the demon beast level.
It's the same with the glossa. In the outside world, the ice-tongued deer can survive in an environment with many predators in a herd of at least 100 heads. Otherwise, with their superb meat quality and nutrition, they would have been exterminated by various natural enemies, demon beasts and monks. But there were only less than five ice-tongued deer that Ning Yuan saw here, which means that it happened to be a family of four. With the fertility of the icetongue deer, this is almost impossible.
After an hour's journey, Ning Yuan admitted that this place could indeed be called a paradise for demon beasts, because there were really many types of demon beasts. But the strange thing is that the strength of the demon beasts here is generally low, and the population is obviously small. Not only that, but the strongest individual strength demon beast population that Ning Yuan has encountered so far is only a rhinoceros cow with rough skin and thick flesh and good defensive power, and the strongest group strength is the first to encounter those iron-backed wolves who are born to cooperate with hunting, and there are no other demon beasts with strong individual strength or monsters that are better at group combat than iron-backed wolves.
"That's not right!" Ning Yuan affirmed in his heart.
Realizing that the situation was different, Ning Yuan unconsciously began to speed up his pace, wanting to find out the details of the situation here as soon as possible.
Ning Yuan had a hunch that the answer he wanted was likely to be in the last gift mentioned in that memory that did not belong to Fan Xiu.
Two hours later, when the sky turned dark, Ning Yuan finally trekked to the "Longwei Gorge" section.
The location where Ning Yuan appeared in the "Dragon Prisoner Jedi", if it is marked according to the map, it is probably in the northeast corner of the "Dragon Prisoner Jedi", near the edge.
"Longman Lake", that is, the opposite shore of this vast lake that Ning Yuan saw, is part of the "Dragon Tail" section of the Fulong Mountains. In terms of the area of the Fulong Mountains, it is about the distance of one or two "dragon scales". The "Longwei" mountain range on the opposite side overlapped with part of the eastern half of the "Dragon Body" mountain range on the right hand, forming the "Longwei Gorge" that Ning Yuan sees now, a dark gorge that connects the underground water veins of the "Dragon Prisoner Jedi" with the sea through the "Longwan Lake".
"This seems to be a natural deep-water port, huh?!" Ning Yuan looked at the huge dark gorge and the equally vast lake and sighed, "As long as the connection between the dark gorge and the open sea is not too narrow, it is a natural way in and out. ”
From Fan Xiu's memory, Ning Yuan can clearly know that the water depth of "Longwei Gorge" is definitely more than 20 zhang, at least Fan Xiu has not reached the bottom when he dived to 20 zhang at the beginning. And the water depth of 20 zhang is enough for the average large ship to draft.
With the width and depth of the water, it can be said that it is a good natural waterway, and there is no reason why it should not be discovered by ships sailing in the open sea. Even if those regular ships can't find it, there's no reason why the pirates and bandits who burrow everywhere can't find it. Unless the exit of the "Dragon Tail Gorge" is hidden beneath the surface of the water and is very hidden.
Ning Yuan shook his head and shook off some of the thoughts that arose after seeing the "Longwei Gorge", and turned his head to grope along the edge of the extremely oppressive Wanren Mountain Wall towards the south, while repeatedly checking the memories that did not belong to Fan Xiu in his mind.
After walking south along the Ten Thousand Cliffs for about ten miles, Ning Yuan saw the huge runes carved on the cliffs.
It is a semi-permanent rune carved by the unique method of the "Rune Array Master", and it can maintain its operation for a long time by absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth. And this long-term concept is usually "10,000 years". In other words, it will take at least six thousand years or so, and the effectiveness of this huge rune is still relatively good, and it will slowly begin to weaken until it is completely invalid.
Standing in front of the huge rune, Ning Yuan activated the Nine Refinements according to the method explained in his memory, and his hands urged the internal qi to start sealing.
After a complicated seal, Ning Yuan pointed the index finger of his right hand, which had concentrated his spiritual power, at a certain point at the bottom of the rune near his height.
When he pointed his finger on the rune, Ning Yuan's internal qi and spiritual power were absorbed by the rune, and after the feeling of absorption disappeared, Ning Yuan slowly retreated, only to see that the originally dim brilliance on the rune began to flow and become brighter. Then in Ning Yuan's eyes, a void entrance suddenly appeared on the cliff.
Ning Yuan's brows moved slightly. The cliff didn't change, except that a pitch-black and illusory entrance appeared on the cliff.
After stopping and thinking for a while, Ning Yuan did not find a clue to this method. However, it is no wonder that although there is some common sense in the memory of the realm line that has been absorbed by Ning Yuan, including some common sense and secrets about the Nino Continent obtained from people like Scar and Fan Xiu, who are either real or possessed, but there are too many knowledge and experiences that he has not understood and come into contact with in this world. With his current knowledge of this world, I'm afraid it's not even a small one.
However, even if he didn't know the details of this illusory portal, Ning Yuan didn't hesitate for long, after all, no matter how he thought about Fan Xiu's memory information, it was impossible to harm himself.
After entering the pitch-black portal, Ning Yuan didn't feel teleported, after thinking about it, Ning Yuan took a few steps forward again, and then Ning Yuan felt as if he had passed through a thin film, and his eyes suddenly brightened slightly.
Ning Yuan closed his eyes for a while, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a stone cave. Above the stone cave, there are several Chang Ming stones to provide a light source, and below, that is, in the center of the stone cave, is a small stone platform, on which a jade box is placed.
However, the first thing that attracted Ning Yuan in the stone cave was not the stone platform and jade box, but the totem pole-like devices running in the four corners of the stone cave.
After taking a closer look, Ning Yuan found that there were several words engraved in the middle of each "totem pole", the two sides of the cave entrance were "absolute" and "drive", and the two inside were the words "town" and "shift".
Walking in front of the word "totem pole", Ning Yuan carefully perceived it and found that this "totem pole" was indeed running non-stop. Every quarter of an hour, an inexplicable wave spreads from the "totem pole" towards the space outside the entrance.
Ning Yuan spent half an hour carefully probing the state of the four "totem poles", and then faintly had some guesses. Only then did he walk to the stone platform and open the jade box on it.
Sure enough, inside the jade box was a crystal slip containing information.
After reading the information in the crystal slip with his spiritual power, Ning Yuan found that it was a letter left for him or for the heir of the Qin Alliance's inheritance.
"I don't know who you are? Don't know where you're from? But since you can come here and open the void door to enter this secret room, it means that you have been recognized by us. You are entitled to inherit everything we have left behind. Included in this treasure land that everyone in the world wants to grab. ”
"The four corners of this secret room are placed formation pillars with the outer runes as coordinate points, left and right, and all areas within a radius of five thousand miles in front of them. These four formation pillars were refined by me and my sister together, and the purpose was to take a safe area in the treasure land of demon beasts everywhere. ”
"You don't need to understand the specific functions and refining methods of the four formation pillars, you just need to know that the area within the formation is a relatively safe area. Within the scope of the formation, the demon beasts whose basic level is above the middle of the fierce level will be expelled, and all the demon beasts whose advanced strength has reached the level equivalent to the level of a cultivator will also be expelled, and the population of all demon beasts will be suppressed at an extremely low level. ”
"Next, I'll tell you some information about the area within the formation, including some information that we have calculated that will be helpful for building a city."
"Longman Lake and Longwei Gorge are natural deep-water ports and waterways, and I think you can see that if you can be recognized, you can also see it. You must wonder why it hasn't been discovered by the ships and pirates and bandits who travel to and from the open sea every day, right? In fact, our sister and I found out through field investigation and historical review that Longwan Lake, Longwei Gorge, and Half Moon Bay are indeed a natural path for the Dragon Prisoner Jedi to connect with the outside world. However, the entrances to Longwan Lake and Longwei Gorge were formed after the 'Dragon Sealing Disaster'. 6,000 years ago, there was no Longman Lake and Longwei Gorge. Xiaomei guessed that these two terrains were the upheaval that occurred after the earth dragon turned over. In other words, this natural path did not exist 6,000 years ago. ”
"As for why this place has not been discovered since it was formed? There are two reasons for this. One is that all the forces have placed their search for their way into this place on land, that is, the overland route across the mountains of the Fulong Mountains. The second reason is that the unique topography of Half Moon Bay hides this natural path. And the estuary of the underground water veins here is just below the surface of the cliff outside. ”
