Chapter 269: Hornet's Nest
At the same time, Zhang Fan also discovered a very obvious phenomenon: with the improvement of his own strength, the frequency and density of those forces that obviously intended to provoke him also decreased significantly. This is especially true as your stealth ability is further improved. In the case of the improvement of his cultivation strength, Zhang Fan also slightly increased his regular marching speed in a concealed state by about thirty percent. However, the flight is closer to the treetops of the woods, rather than the clouds. In this way, it is to avoid the attention of those demon beasts who are good at perception and speed in some airspace to the greatest extent. And the demon beasts in the jungle are roughly perceived by Zhang Fan, although they often have good frontal combat effectiveness, but they are far behind themselves in terms of speed at the same level.
After improving the safety conditions in many ways, Zhang Fan did not encounter much trouble for thousands of years in this long and barbaric land dominated by the giant wood forest. After calculating the cumulative distance he has traveled in this wild land, there are hundreds of billions of kilometers. Zhang Fan also began to have more and more bad premonitions: if he couldn't improve his strength to the maximum extent in this barbaric realm, it would not be impossible to delay far more than 10,000 years. It must be known that the distance of tens of billions of kilometers, or even one or two hundred billion kilometers, is not to mention in the immortal realm, even on the boundless continent, there is nothing unusual. If a monk whose cultivation is converted into athletic ability and is suppressed in the foundation building realm can still only move forward at the speed of an ordinary martial arts master, it may be possible to delay half a yuan.
Therefore, when Zhang Fan once again encountered a strong enemy whose estimated strength was at the peak level of the middle of the third layer of Taiyi Jade Immortal, and this strong enemy seemed to have a trace of greed for himself, Zhang Fan finally did not choose to flee, but decided to sacrifice the super intelligence combination that he had not sacrificed in the last war to join forces with himself to fight the enemy, even if he consumed half of the attack talisman and even external energy means accumulated in the past thousand years or so, he had to gain something to make up for the time he had delayed.
This time, the opponent Zhang Fan encountered was a Taiyi Jade Immortal level transformation tree demon. Zhang Fan roughly speculated from some previous cultivation experiences in the Boundless Continent: Because the power of this plant-type demon beast is relatively weak, for its own repurification and even processing, I am afraid that the preciousness is second only to encountering elixirs at the level of 10,000 years or 20,000 or 30,000 years.
"Hehe, it's really in vain that you have lived to this level of cultivation in vain, and you have no experience at all. Didn't you feel my warning to you before?" "Reaching the middle stage of the third layer of Taiyi Jade Immortal's cultivation strength level of living beings seems to be like breaking through a certain threshold, no longer the kind of lower-level cultivator who has difficulty surviving, but approaching the level of some kind of small leader, and the confidence in the thoughts and words of strange creatures has also begun to become much more sufficient.
Zhang Fan said like a fugitive slave who didn't have much experience and had just arrived: "I think... I don't think the plant-based demon beasts in this world should be so aggressive, right? And the cultivation strength should be weaker? And it seems that plant-based demon beasts like you are not good at speed, even if the cultivation on the surface is stronger than mine, I can easily dodge. Why do you want to run ahead of time? Besides, isn't it good that our well water doesn't interfere with river water? I don't make a move against you, why do you want to attack me... ”
In this case, it would look so ridiculous to any monk or creature who has grown up outside, but because there is such a concept as a fugitive slave in this fairy world. Some of the celestial servants who were specially bred did not have much experience, but it was not contrary to common sense. No matter how deep the barbaric realm is, the shape-shifting demon beasts that have cultivated to the strength of the third layer of Taiyi Jade Immortal are even some relatively lonely and unheard of species, and they know a lot about this.
Therefore, the shapeshifting dryad laughed and said, "Hehe, you are really right. Most of the plant-tired demon beasts, at least in our area, are completely different from other demon beasts that have a great prejudice against the human race. We don't deal with those groups. I know what is the main dilemma you are facing now, because you don't know the way, so you can only move slowly and cautiously, right? If so, maybe even if it takes tens of thousands of years or even half a yuanhui, you won't be able to get out of this giant wood forest. In this way, I have a more detailed treasure book, which records the general location map of our wilderness and the danger, which can help you read the difficulties in detail... ”
There is no doubt that I have to say that the gift of this Taiyi Jade Immortal's mid-level mid-peak realm transformation tree demon is still very tempting. What Zhang Fan needs most now is, of course, to know some news and information about the immortal realm. Although he also learned a lot of things from the Qiankun Shield Spirit of the Boundless Continent. However, before parting, the spirit in the Qiankun shield also warned Zhang Fan. The immortal realm connected to the boundless continent is an immortal realm of extraordinary significance. The competition between the forces of all parties is fierce and the speed of change of the pattern is relatively large, and the same is true in the barbarian world. The information that worked well before the Yuan Hui may now be outdated. Therefore, Zhang Fan was not misled in this regard.
Although Zhang Fan is very eager to get the news in these aspects, but the heart of the warning omen is undoubtedly aware of the other party's bad intentions, in this case, of course, he can at least let himself win this Taiyi Jade Immortal three-grade level tree demon before he can say anything else...
At this moment, when the shape-shifting dryad unconsciously approached the distance that Zhang Fan seemed to be within a mile, he suddenly became difficult, and his hands suddenly moved forward and slammed out the magic weapon that seemed to be a book towards Zhang Fan's location.
However, after a thousand years of long-distance cultivation in the past, although Zhang Fan's combat effectiveness pattern in terms of his own hard indicators such as offensive and defensive maneuvers has not fundamentally changed, the ability of puppet techniques and even illusions to increase is much faster than his own cultivation speed, at least in a relatively short period of time, in front of opponents who are not much different from his superficial cultivation, he has been able to achieve the level of fakeness.
In this way, when the fierce attack of the tree demon bombarded the puppet body shell created by Zhang Fan, the violent explosion also exploded for the first time. Although the space of this immortal realm is completely different from the Boundless Continent. But the huge explosion was also like a hydrogen bomb with a yield of several million tons in an instant, completely ionizing everything within a radius of about one and a half miles.
Under this kind of blow, he usually basically has the ability to kill the monks of the third level or so of Taiyi Jade Immortal in seconds. However, the protective power of this Dryad is obviously much stronger than that of other creatures of the same level, plus there are some other apprentices of the second layer of Taiyi Jade Immortal who are ambushed within the scope of the explosion, and there are also hundred-scale Dryads of the early level of Taiyi Jade Immortal who have dispersed their energy. So I wasn't hit hard by the explosion.
But what the dryad didn't expect was that the continuous attacks in a very short period of time crossed a distance of several miles without intervals, and exploded one after another. At least ten hydrogen bombs equivalent to one million tons of hydrogen bombs, the opponent's movement ability was greatly reduced, but the Dryad, which was known for its defensive power, quickly suffered heavy losses under the continuous attacks.
It's just that what Zhang Fan didn't expect was that the blows of this specification didn't really eliminate the opponent, it seems that although the information perception ability of the tree demon at the level of Taiyi Jade Immortal is not very strong, the ability in terms of defense is probably strong even compared to himself.
Fortunately, after a long march and war before, Zhang Fan's accumulated family foundation is quite sufficient, and when the eleven shuttle blasting attacks have no effect, he directly sacrificed the Supreme Sacred Fire Altar, and directly shrouded the tree demon at the level of Taiyi Jade Immortal, who had been hit hard, in the altar. It was only then that a violent moan sounded. The powerful enemy didn't even have time to beg for mercy or warning, and gradually fell silent.
This battle went smoothly for Zhang Fan, or exceeded expectations. After all, without using the means of pressing the super intelligent combat body at the bottom of the box, he used a surprise attack to destroy a Taiyi Jade Immortal third-layer mid-level peak demon beast that was slightly stronger than his own cultivation strength, as well as four other Taiyi Jade Immortal second-layer cultivators and even a total of 100 Taiyi Jade Immortal threshold level Tree Demons were all wiped out in this continuous attack.
At this time, Zhang Fan also had a better understanding of his comprehensive combat ability at this time, and conservatively speaking: at this time, his strength was not a monk in the middle of the third layer of Taiyi Jade Immortal in the ordinary sense, but he could compete with the strong ones in it.
Subsequently, Zhang Fan did not fall in love with the war, after all, before he really had a sufficient position of strength, the more appropriate principle was still "people don't offend me, I don't offend people" instead of taking the initiative to provoke for some purposes, so after collecting these trophies, he continued to embark on the old routine of carefully purifying these materials and preparing for war, while cautiously continuing to rush in a concealed state.
However, what made Zhang Fan miscalculate: this time his "legitimate defense" was like stabbing a hornet's nest, but just a few days later, hundreds of Taiyi Jade Immortal level tree demon powerhouses, including countless Golden Immortal Realm Tree Demon powerhouses, were alarmed, and gathered together, and launched a dragnet sweep in the nearby area at any cost. Zhang Fan also quickly felt the huge pressure. For this reason, they had to stay at a certain position in the sky at the height of the clouds to disguise themselves as clouds and create corresponding phantom arrays, and they could only stop for a while while in a hurry, and they did not dare to move too fast.
After all these years of avoiding danger in the barbaric realm, Zhang Fan's experience in this area is much richer than before. Often, in the case of such a high-level alarm, proper concealment in place is often more effective than the escape of the exposed target. In the face of a strong enemy, concealment is a more effective means of survival than speed.
In this way, Zhang Fan finally avoided many rounds of "dragnet inspection" and "dragnet search" under the condition of trying his best to perfect the concealed phantom array.
However, unlike in the past, although the intensity of such searches has decreased slightly, from many times a day to once a few days, and finally once a month, it is clear that the hornet's nest that he poked before has obviously had a long-term effect. This is not something that can be easily ended.
In this case, Zhang Fan's choice can only be to carefully refine the materials obtained before in the storage bag space. Fortunately, in the early stage of hundreds of Taiyi Jade Immortals, four Taiyi Jade Immortals in the second layer, and one Taiyi Jade Immortal in the third layer, the demon beast materials that are more suitable for refining are quite a large number of resources, under Zhang Fan's high standards of excellence, purification, processing and even utilization, it took about a thousand years to completely transform these demon beast materials into their own protective power and even various energy that can be used. After his own energy and protection became unprecedentedly strengthened, the space spell and even the space shuttle ability began to be fundamentally different, and these benefits directly increased Zhang Fan's combat effectiveness by hundreds of times, from the theoretical level of the middle threshold of the third layer of Taiyi Jade Immortal to the level of about the peak of the fourth layer of Taiyi Jade Immortal;
At this time, Zhang Fan again and again isolated a lot of spiritual blood purifiers that had broken through and upgraded for more than nine thousand years, and then spent another hundred years or so to raise his cultivation to the level of the peak of the fifth layer of Taiyi Jade Immortal, and once again raised it to a whole level.
In this case, Zhang Fancai finally had some confidence to get out of the storage space.
"Compared to the past, I am obviously able to deal with a lot of dangers that I often encounter, right? Moreover, after cultivating in the storage space for thousands of years again, more than a hundred years of time outside should have passed," Zhang Fan couldn't help but think.
In this barbaric demon beast area, the change of the power pattern seems to be faster than he imagined before, this is Zhang Fan's general perception before, and it is also a lot of experience along the way.
However, this time, Zhang Fan obviously miscalculated to a large extent: this demon beast like the tree demon is very different from ordinary demon beasts such as the Ferry Sparrow, and it is not a small sect that often fights infighting, but a large sect with a wide range in this area. At the beginning, Zhang Fan was still moving at a relatively slow speed of 100 tens of kilometers per hour, and there was nothing when he was moving forward. But when Zhang Fan sped up a little bit after about a month, and started a flight with a speed of about a month, the heart of the alarm began to warn him again. This time, the potential threat is far away, but the threat to oneself may be much greater than before. As a last resort, Zhang Fan could only choose to first desperately shuttle and flee to open the distance between him and the minions in front of him, and clean up the eyeliner around him to the greatest extent, and then start a hidden and slow escape, and chose a suitable place to hide.
Even so, the increasingly heavy pressure in the heart of the warning made Zhang Fan feel that this time he might have stabbed enough hornet's nest to cause his own existential crisis. Without some risky approach, this level may be difficult to get through...
