Volume 4: The Eventful Years Chapter 183: Mystery [Medium]
Even if one could sense that there were flying snakes lurking in the crevices on both sides, it was not clear which snake would attack, and perhaps a flying snake would suddenly emerge from a place where they were not even aware of it.
Baoyu thought to himself that it made sense that Ji Ying had only summoned the monks of the Four Realms before. Although the monks of the Three Realms have mastered the method of imperial objects, they can control the magic weapon in the air to slash down the flying snake. But in the absence of sufficient prediction, it is probably impossible to continuously block such a fast attack at such a close distance. When in distress, it is still necessary to use the magic power of the imperial weapon and various spells.
Because it's not a one-on-one hand-to-hand fight. Instead, in the face of cold-blooded animals that came out of nowhere, the other party didn't have much intelligence, and he only reacted to attack with instinct, and he usually looked at the cultivation gap that might not be too big, but it became obvious at this moment.
Several monks in the back were almost hit by the flying snake, but fortunately, Baoyu was vigilant, and the whip shadow turned backwards and pulled down the flying snake, which also shocked everyone into a cold sweat. Including Uncle Dao and Baoyu, there were nine monks above the Four Realms, six in the first team and three in the second team.
This was specially arranged by Uncle Dao, because the first team to explore the path was bound to encounter more attacks, and they were the first to alarm the flying snake, and they were also under the greatest pressure, and after the flying snake that had been shot out in front was cut down, it was natural that they could no longer attack the people behind. Baoyu felt that if it was just a group of monks from the four realms or more, it might be easier to break through in formation, at least without having to be distracted and take care of those companions who might not be able to stop the flying snake.
Seeing that everyone has walked through the middle of the canyon, if this is the case all the way, it will not be difficult to pass, and only a few people may be accidentally injured, and then they will have to face the poisonous fog and mastiff.
When Baoyu was just thinking this, he suddenly heard Uncle Dao in front of him shouting again: "Danger!
Listening to Uncle Dao's tone, he is commanding the army to fight. No one was injured when he spoke, but as soon as he finished speaking, someone had been pounced on by the flying snake, and although the snake was cut off in time, the person had already been bitten.
There was a strange blue-gray mist floating faintly in the valley ahead, and as soon as they entered the range of this mist, they heard the sound of swishing incessantly, and the flying snakes seemed to be stimulated by something, and they rushed out and shot at the group of intruders. Not only that, but some flying snakes with strange scales with a strange luster can even spew out imperceptible mists when they open their snake snouts in the air.
This mist is poisonous, and if you accidentally inhale it, you will be dizzy and paralyzed all over your body. Could it be that the miasma in front of this valley is formed by gathering in this way? It was only a few steps before a flying snake occasionally sprang out, only the danger was strange and sudden, but at this moment, when one step was taken, several flying snakes might come out of the cold left and right.
The trajectory of the monks' magic weapons in the air was not impregnable, and finally a flying snake broke through the defense line, and several people were bitten one after another. The poison of the flying snake is very strong, although it can use mana to temporarily stop its spread, but it is difficult to continue to use the power of the imperial weapon or the imperial object, and the cultivation of these people is still not enough.
No wonder Uncle Dao wants to divide everyone into two teams, just to prevent this from happening. It was impossible for him to continue to rush through the canyon with those wounded, and it was unknown what was going on in front of them, but it was certain that they would die if they left the wounded in place, and it would be difficult for them to retreat with their poisonous wounds under the continuous attacks of the flying snakes.
A monk shouted from behind, "Aren't we going forward?" Everyone wanted to take the risk and rush over, but Uncle Dao ordered the people behind him to cover the evacuation of the wounded, which was tantamount to giving up this opportunity. However, as soon as the words fell, this person also let out an exclamation, and when he spoke, he was distracted, and he was also bitten by a flying snake.
Baoyu had already led the crowd to pick up a few stumbling and injured people in front of him to the team, and in the blink of an eye, someone had already been bitten by more than a flying snake. Flying snakes do not hang on after biting people, but quickly release their mouths and bounce away, waiting for the enemy's poisonous hair to fall, which is their natural habit. The faint blue-gray mist seemed to have been disturbed by something, and had drifted around Baoyu and the others.
Baoyu hurriedly shouted: "Hold off, retreat, cover the wounded!"
This battle was similar to a marching battle, and the party was still evenly matched, but the opponent's offensive suddenly became stronger, the defense line was breached, and there was immediately a feeling of defeat. Everyone hurriedly turned around and ran back, and Baoyu shouted again: "Don't run around, the formation can't be messed up, otherwise you will die here!"
The flying snakes shot from both sides of Baoyu's team suddenly increased, and there were often several at the same time that suddenly burst out from different directions, biting several people in the blink of an eye. Although it will take a while for the onset of toxicity to occur, it is impossible to fall to the ground immediately, but if you run around in a panic, the formation is chaotic and encounters more flying snake attacks, some people are afraid that they will really not be able to go back.
Even if they are monks with supernatural powers, they may not have experienced the harsh battle array rushing and killing scenes, most of them just usually practice secret methods, and have not really seen life and death killing, and many monks have never killed anyone in their lives, just like the vast majority of other ordinary people in the world. Fortunately, this team was led by Baoyu, who had experienced the scene of a battle to the death in Baixi Village, and knew that he must not break down at this time.
He led the group back with a long whip, pulling down dozens of flying snakes along the way, and also picked up a monk who was already weak under his feet, and finally rushed out of the valley mouth to safety. Counting the number of people, the first team led by Uncle Dao had a total of six people and continued to rush into the canyon, including Xiao Miao and those few Cool Breeze Top disciples.
Four members of the first team were bitten by flying snakes, including two Four Realm monks, and they were all rescued by Baoyu. The team led by Baoyu was even more miserable, seven out of ten people were poisoned. Out of the danger zone, some people begin to urgently heal their wounds, or draw knives to cut flesh, or cut open wounds and bloodlet dressing, or sit still on the ground and concentrate on the exercise to force out the poison in the body.
There are two people who don't know whether they were bitten by poisonous snakes in too many places, poisonous attacks or psychological effects, and they fell to the ground and fell unconscious. In fact, monks above the second realm can perceive all kinds of subtle changes in the body, and can use an invisible inner force to heal their injuries and restore their body to health.
But it also depends on the situation, if the injury is too serious, I can't do anything, especially when the toxicity enters the body. Baoyu snorted: "Don't move, tell me where the injury is." ”
Two of them were unconscious and unable to answer, so Baoyu walked over to check on their bodies. Snakes are often bitten in exposed areas of clothing, such as arms, ankles, and even cheeks. The wound was very inconspicuous, just two small red dots.
And the two red spots they were bitten were already swollen in a circle, not only red but also black and purple, and it was obvious that the toxicity had begun to spread. When he just withdrew from the canyon, he had to control the magic weapon to resist the attack of the flying snakes along the way, and some people were close to losing their strength in panic, and the poison of course attacked faster.
Baoyu slapped an unconscious monk and three snake-bitten wounds. Seeing that he waved his arm very hard, but there was no sound, and when the palm of his hand left, dark blood quickly gushed out of the wound. Then he ran to the second man and did the same.
There was a monk of the Four Realms who was using his mana to force out the toxin-stained blood in his body, and he was stunned when he saw Baoyu's movements, he spent half a day of effort, but he was not as good as Baoyu in the face. The people who were still awake also realized what Baoyu was doing, and they raised their arms and legs to show the place where they were bitten by the poisonous snake, and even the woman couldn't care about being ashamed. One of the friars lifted her legs so high that her feet were raised above her head, and she turned her injured calf towards Baoyu.
Baoyu closed his eyes slightly, as if he was concentrating on some kind of magical secret method, and walked over and slapped the wounds of those people in turn. His movements were not fast, each palm seemed to use a lot of force but did not make a sound, and the longer the interval between them, it was obvious that the energy consumption was extremely high, and some people almost couldn't wait.
Baoyu first treated the monks who were the most injured and had already suffered a poisonous attack, and after a meal, he let him pat everyone's wounds. Streams of dark blood with a fishy smell poured out as if they were being pulled by some force. It doesn't stop until the color gradually turns red.
When Baoyu was treated, he also told everyone to let go of the form and god, let his mana invade the veins around him, and there must be no trace of luck to resist, in this case, of course, everyone obediently obeyed the order. These people were at least temporarily out of danger of life, but just a few slaps from Baoyu could not completely remove the residual poison in their bodies, and everyone felt dizzy and afraid.
Those who were still able to perform the exercises then treated themselves, while the uninjured took care of those who had fallen unconscious.
Baoyu didn't speak again, he seemed to be too tired to speak, and sat upright on the ground to cultivate his spirit. And Xiao Tian has always been by his side. Everyone was stunned at this time, they had never seen a method of pulling out poisonous wounds, it was simply a miraculous skill. Not to mention them, even Baoyu himself has never seen them before!
Baoyu just wanted to force the poison in these people's bodies out of his blood, so he naturally used this technique that he had never used before, because he had never encountered such a situation before. He used the magic of the five-colored divine lotus in the form god, let the other party let go of the form god, and the mana invaded the form and the hundred veins as if it were in his own body, and then tried his best to force out the dirty blood that condensed the venom.
Two uninjured monks from the Four Realms. Standing outside the valley mouth and looking in, his expression was a little unwilling and a little frightened, Fang Cai's terrible experience was too unforgettable. If it weren't for the fact that he had already experienced the test of the demons and broken through the four realms, that kind of scene would have nightmares from time to time. Even if there are already four realms of cultivation. But this experience does not necessarily become a new kind of inner demon and test, entangled in the mind. Causing distress to others, or making people feel more.
They also had some regrets that they couldn't join the first team. He missed the opportunity to rush through the canyon with the masters, but withdrew with the second team. But after thinking about it, it was fortunate that Mr. Li Lu led the way with a whip. and command everyone to keep the formation undispersed, otherwise they may not be able to retreat in that situation.
Breaking through the cultivation of the four realms and obtaining the teacher's Dharma transmission weapon can represent the sect to walk out of the mountain, and the teacher told them to travel and practice in the layman, and they must go through the wind and rain and all kinds of sinister tests in the world before they can finally become a great weapon. And most of these young monks are very self-assured, and often regard those so-called adventures as only capital for praise.
But danger is danger, not who claims to have to go through many hardships and dangers to achieve success, can really succeed, more often than not, fall halfway. When you really understand this, you will understand that if you have a body of cultivation, you should not go to find trouble, let alone be in danger needlessly, because in the vast majority of cases it is not worth it.
Often, the higher they cultivate, the more they know how to cherish themselves, because they have already taken that step, and if it is not very necessary, they will not take risks or work hard like ordinary people.
At this moment, Baoyu had opened his eyes and exhaled lightly, his breath seemed to be still carrying blue-gray mist, and there was also an imperceptible light mist floating around his body. When Fang was expelling poison for everyone, his divine energy cut into the form and spirit that others let go, as if he was exercising in his own body, and Baoyu was also attacked by the poison of the flying snake, and he had been expelled at this moment.
If it weren't for the fact that there were five-colored divine lotus in the form gods, if it weren't for the fact that he happened to comprehend the secret method of the supernatural power similar to the form swallowing technique in retreat not long ago, it would be difficult for him to do this, after all, there are only four realms of cultivation at present.
Baoyu stood up and led Xiaotian to the entrance of the canyon again. It took him about a meal to detoxify everyone, and it took about a little time to sit and breathe, and it seemed to have recovered. The two monks were shocked and said, "Mr. Li Lu, do you still want to go in?"
Baoyu nodded and said: "The delay is not long, we have only walked halfway in the canyon, the road ahead should be more difficult, and the first team cannot walk fast." I still have time to catch up with them, and maybe I can still take the help. ”
One of them hesitated and said, "Mr. Li Lu, can you bring me over?"
Baoyu shook his head: "Knowing that it is dangerous and difficult to overcome, why should you force yourself? After all, cultivation is not enough, go back and continue to cultivate." Today, everyone is here to take the elixir for the king, and many people are injured, if the medicine is successful, the king will thank everyone, not just the person who took the elixir himself. ”
The man was embarrassed and said, "This is called helping, but it's actually a bit of a mess." I have not achieved an inch of success, and I still have to trouble Mr. Li Lu to cover and rescue, how can I be embarrassed to ask for the king's reward again? I just regret that I can't see the scene there with my own eyes. ...... In this case, I won't drag you through the level, I wish you good luck, and I will pick up the elixir with Uncle Dao's predecessors and come back. ”
Baoyu and Xiao Tian rushed into the valley again, this time his speed was fast, his body was like an arrow and barely stopped, and when he passed through the place he had just walked, he was hardly attacked by the flying snake again, and disappeared into the shadows and mist in the distance in the blink of an eye. Just now, everyone had already gone back and forth, killing many flying snakes along the way. Besides, no matter how keen the flying snake's sense is, it takes time to detect that someone has broken into the territory and catapults out, but Baoyu just didn't let them react.
It is impossible to give full play to this speed advantage when everyone walks in formation and keeps the formation unchaotic, but it is more convenient for Baoyu to take Xiao Tian who is following closely by his side, and the situation of this road has been understood, and there is no need to stop again. As he crossed the middle of the canyon and entered the place where a faint and strange mist was drifting, he slowed down slightly, because the situation ahead was unknown, and neither his eyes nor his divine sense could detect the distance very far.
At this time, he began to be attacked, and the flying snakes that ejected from the shadows of the mist, almost all of them were species with an eerie sheen on their scales, and they could open their mouths to spew out poisonous mist, which was made of tiny droplets of venom atomized in the air. Baoyu had actually used the spiritual protection of the five-colored divine lotus in his rapid march, and naturally there was a breath that could dispel poison, and ordinary flying snakes would subconsciously avoid him.
Baoyu unleashed his long whip, and as soon as the flying snakes pounced, he was pulled down, and he couldn't get close at all, and passed through the long canyon as fast as he could. The ravine widened, and the front should be almost to the mouth of the valley on the other side, but it was shrouded in blue-gray clouds, and it was impossible to see the situation at the other end. This is a miasma that is so thick that it can barely be dissolved, but it is strangely only condensed here.
Although the faint strange mist is toxic, it is okay as long as it is closed and not inhaled, but this diffuse poisonous mist cannot be touched, otherwise its toxicity will stick to the skin and invade the remains, either by exercising power to drive away, or you must carry some kind of special spiritual effect to repel poison.
Baoyu didn't care about this, there was a faint light around him, it was the manifestation of the magic of the five-colored divine lotus, which could naturally make the miasma inviolable, but he didn't sacrifice the artifact directly, even in this poisonous mist, he was very cautious. There is no such artifact as the Five-Colored Divine Lotus in the Little Heavenly Shape God, but this dog also grew up eating the Five-Colored Divine Lotus, and he is not afraid of these poisonous fogs.
Flying snakes still attack from time to time in the poisonous mist, and although there are not many of them, they are even more difficult to prevent. Because the people who haunt here are particularly powerful mutated flying snakes, this poisonous mist has the effect of blocking divine consciousness, and the sound made by the flying snakes is very slight, and the attacks encountered are much more dangerous than those of Fang Cai. Baoyu did not blindly rush forward, but concentrated in the poisonous mist and moved forward steadily, urging the magic weapon to sweep away the flying snake from time to time.
He couldn't help but be a little secretly worried, those people led by Uncle Dao should be able to pass through the canyon safely, but they may not be able to completely prevent it in this poisonous fog, and someone will be injured if they are not careful. Uncle Dao's cultivation should be able to protect Xiao Miao, but others may not be able to say.
Walking here, Baoyu finally understood why Ji Ying's uncle, the master of the Five Realms and Six Transformations, was poisoned and retreated in vain, and he may have almost lost his life, right? Because the situation he encountered was different from today, he broke in alone, and he didn't know the details of this place in advance, and all the attacks were only aimed at him, and it was very likely that he was bitten by a flying snake in this poisonous fog.
