Chapter 264

Ning Yuan hurried as he thought back to the hidden path that Fan Xiu had found.

Fan Xiu had been going upriver for five or six hundred miles before he found a place where he could barely leave the water, and then he advanced along the narrow canyon mountain road for thousands of miles before he found the terrain that could barely unfold the Dunjia Gate.

However, after walking such a long way, Fan Xiu inexplicably aroused the curiosity to explore further. And this exploration revealed a secret that all super-powerful forces want to know.

Fan Xiu, who completely walked out of the canyon and river, was on the land of the "Dragon Prisoner Jedi" next to a huge lake formed by the impact of underground water flow.

Why was it confirmed that this is the "Dragon Prisoner Jedi"? The reason is actually quite simple. The place where Fan Xiu suffered at that time was about a thousand miles away from the mountains on the east coast of the Fulong Mountains, that is, near the Half Moon Bay where the tail of the dragon and the body of the dragon formed an angle in the Fulong Mountains.

After Fan Xiu went ashore, he looked back at the canyon and saw the unique cliffs of the Fulong Mountains. The canyon officially crosses the dragon's tail and the cliff of the dragon's body to form a capped dark gorge.

After knowing where he was, Fan Xiu was surprised and left a target for Dunjia Gate not far from the shore.

After returning to the main city of the Qin Alliance, Fan Xiu truthfully reported all the situation to the alliance leader Qin Ying when he returned to the mission.

After Qin Ying found out, he immediately informed several of his closest people to discuss, that is, his younger brother Qin Zheng, his sisters Qin Qiao and Qin He, as well as his and Qin Zheng's Taoist companions Qi Muxue and Chu Zhaoxiang.

After a long time of secret discussion, it was decided that Qin Qiao, who was the best at puppetry, and Qin He, who was the most knowledgeable, would go through the target left by Fan Xiu to confirm the matter first, and then make plans.

Why did you choose these two to find out? Because Qin Qiao, as a puppet grandmaster, can use a variety of unique portable puppets to deal with various complex situations, while Qin He, who is rich in miscellaneous knowledge, can collect the information of the "Dragon Prisoner Jedi" in detail.

After the two returned, several people once again discussed secretly for a long time, and finally decided to seal the secret, except for the three who had actually been to the "Dragon Prisoner Jedi", the others completely erased the memory of this incident to avoid accidents.

As the discoverer of the path of the "Dragon Prisoner Jedi", Fan Xiu was present for both secret discussions. After learning of the alliance leader's decision, Fan Xiu had the audacity to ask Qin Ying why he let him keep his memory, and it stands to reason that he was the one who should be erased the most.

At that time, Qin Ying just said to him: "This secret originally belonged to you." ”

Yes, because the discoverer of this secret was Fan Xiu, and this secret originally belonged to him, so Qin Ying did not let him erase his memory.

However, even if the height at that time was not enough, Fan Xiu also knew what the consequences would be if this matter was spread. So at that time, he made an oath of rules, and without the permission of Qin Qiao and Qin He, he would never reveal half a sentence to anyone.

Since then, Fan Xiu really hasn't revealed a word about the "Dragon Prisoner Jedi" to anyone. This incident was slowly blocked in the depths of his memory.

Until the beginning of that war, he was captured in Xiuyuan City under the design of the Tiezhi City coalition forces. But even if the coalition forces in Tiezhi City forced him to slaughter the city, Fan Xiu gritted his teeth and did not tell the secret.

"So how did the hell this secret come out?" Ning Yuan muttered to himself suspiciously.

I'm afraid this is a deeper secret.

At least no matter how Qin Qiao and Qin He took the initiative to leak this secret, the others had completely erased the relevant memories, and everyone knew that the consequence of this secret leakage was the collapse of the Qin Alliance, so whether it was in theory or in practice, this secret should not be leaked.

Puzzled, Ning Yuan gave up thinking for the time being, and looked up at the wolf's head exposed in front of him.

Wolf. And more than one. What's more, these wolves are monsters.

Ning Yuan took out the three-edged cold iron gun from the storage wrench, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a self-deprecating arc.

"Speaking of which, my first death in this world was due to the Blue Wind Wolf."

The wolf demon beast in front of him was not a forest wolf like the Qingfeng wolf, but an iron-backed wolf of the steppe wolf genus.

Unlike the Windwind Wolf, which values dexterity, the Ironback Wolf's biggest features are its straight-line attack speed and impact, as well as its strong defense.

Just like now, in the short time between Ning Yuan taking out the spear and striding forward, the distance of a hundred zhang was completely lost in the ironback wolf's surprise attack without warning.

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.
