Chapter 412: Forest Battle Dawn (Part II)
The dead gray-black mountain range, stretching for thousands of miles, has even been replaced by most of the miasma nowadays, making it impossible to imagine that this is a place where people live.
But in the depths of this mountain range, a bright red permeated the dead gray, and a piece of light was born out of the darkness. This bizarre reddish-brown stone is called ochre, as if it were a natural nemesis of the miasma of the Death Mountains.
As long as there is ochre, there is no miasma, and it is full of life.
The Ochre Academy was also established as a barrier, guarding and monitoring the demons' every move within this wall. It is also because of this belief in inheritance that the students of the Ochre Academy do not live as nourished and comfortable as the students of other academies, but hovering on the edge of life and death to train, and from time to time face the oppression of the demons.
Especially the disciples of the Inner Court, each of them will become the backbone of the Ochre Academy! Or even the next core figure of the Academy. They have the best cultivation resources, and they will also face the most terrifying and dangerous training.
For example, the forest growing at the junction where the ochre gradually decreases is the battlefield where the disciples of the inner court often cultivate. The spectacular area of the ancient forest gradually decreases from vibrant green to gray black, and this sense of alternation between life and death is both strange and wonderful.
This forest is called the Rashon Forest by the students of the Ochre Academy, green represents life, gray represents death, and crossing the Rashomon general boundary is the alternation of life and death!
There are a large number of demonic beasts in the black forest, probably due to the influence of miasma, the demonic beasts of the Death Mountain Range are far more violent and ferocious than those in other places, and there are many people living in groups, no one wants to mess with a demonic beast.
Without a special escort, the academy does not allow students to leave the Ochre Realm.
However, Mu Shi, who had just arrived, didn't know all this, and she wandered around the forest looking for the other two inner courtyard disciples before she unknowingly came to the boundary of Rashomon.
Looking at this well-defined world, Mu Shi even showed a hint of interest, the so-called art masters are bold, and it is Mu Shi who is said to be Mu Shi.
Scratching the chin of Shen Tan who was sleeping in his arms, he successfully woke him up with an unhappy face, Mu Shi smiled and said, "Look, isn't it interesting?" ”
Shen Tan followed Mu Shi's realization and looked at the forest that was gradually turning gray in front of him, wrinkled his pink nose in a daze, and said sullenly, "I advise you not to go over, the smell there is very annoying." ”
"Oh?" Mu Shi raised his eyebrows slightly, which made Shen Tan very annoying, except for the dark element, there was only demonic qi left, and it seemed that there were many demonic beasts in the forest on the other side.
Mu Shi thought for a while, and found that he didn't have the need to go over, so he shrugged his shoulders and hugged Shen Tan and walked back.
He hadn't taken a few steps before Mu Shi paused and looked up at the other side of the distance, where several powerful breaths flew over, even from such a distance, Mu Shi could feel it.
"Is it already noon?" Mu Shi muttered to himself, looked up at the sun, and found that it was indeed hanging brightly in the middle of the sky, releasing his own light without reservation. Mu Shi was shocked to realize that he had walked for so long unknowingly.
"Oh no, before we find them, we have to face the capture of the five Venerables." Mu Shi said a little sadly.
Shen Tan rolled his eyes and said indifferently, "I don't see that you don't show much fear. Mu Shi lowered his head to look at the sky, bent his eyes, and said in a gentle tone, "With you to protect me, of course I'm not afraid~"
The hair on Shen Tan's body exploded from beginning to end, and after jumping down from Mu Shi's arms and standing firm, he shook his head violently and shook his whole body, "Don't talk to me in this tone, I'm numb." ”
"Do you have to scare you to be happy?" Mu Shi said helplessly, "Sometimes I want to be a gentle master." ”
Shen Tan was inexplicably silent for a while, the white light on his body flickered, and he turned into a small teenager, and said with a cold little face, "Say it now." ”
"Hmm......." Mu Shi found that he was really speechless in front of the humanoid Shen Tan. I shrugged my shoulders and smiled, "Okay, let's keep it that way, it's fine." ”
Shen Tan glanced at Mu Shi and said coldly, "There is an aura coming this way, but it doesn't seem to be aimed at us." ”
"Oh?" Mu Shi was interested, "Could it be that there are other people around here." ”
"Maybe." Shen Tan said coldly, he is not interested in others, in fact, his world is simple, eating, sleeping, cultivating and improving, protecting himself and protecting Mu Shi, in other words, from the moment he recognized Mu Shi, Shen Tan's world revolved around Mu Shi.
Perhaps because he felt that his answer was too perfunctory, Shen Tan thought about it and added, "It's very likely that it's the person you're looking for." ”
"So, aren't they in trouble." Mu Shi smiled, a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes.
"What do you want to do?" Shen Tan took a step back vigilantly, the feline's keen instincts making him instinctively feel that he was going to suffer.
"I didn't think about anything, I want to go and see, you won't watch me get caught." Mu Shi said with a smile.
"You don't count if you send it yourself." Shen Tan emphasized, "And they won't put your life in danger." ”
"Okay, I'll hide my body and act when I see the opportunity." Mu Shi thought about it as if it was a bit risky, so he took a compromise solution.
"Whatever you ......" Shen Tan was a little tired, waved his hand and said, "I'll go back to the contract space to sleep first, you really can't stand it and call me again." Without waiting for Mu Shi to say something, he turned into a white light and drilled back into the contract space.
"They are about ten miles to the south." Shen Tan's faint voice echoed in Mu Shi's heart, making Mu Shi's heart warm, no matter how much he grows, he is still that hard-mouthed and soft-hearted arrogant kitten.
However, Shen Tan has been with him for all these years, and he has never left to help him at critical moments, and he really has time to check for Shen Tan why his body has always grown slowly when he has evolved to maturity.
Mu Shi pondered Shen Tan's physical problems while using the Dark Concealment Technique to hide his body and breath. This is the depths of the Death Mountain Range, and it is the edge of ochre, the dark element is much more active than in the academy, Mu Shi already has the power of eternal darkness, and he is even more at home in the environment where the dark element is rich.
Even the Fazun would have a hard time discovering his existence, unless it was an alchemist of the Fazun level.
But Mu Shi thought that he shouldn't be so unlucky.
After shuttling five or six miles at a low altitude in the forest, Mu Shi had already felt the fierce energy fluctuations in front of him, presumably a fight had already started.
Mu Shi couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart, and quickened the pace of hurrying. Because even if Dean Qu Chuan didn't say it, Mu Shi knew that if one of the four inner courtyard disciples couldn't get out of the forest, it would also be a declaration of her failure.
After all, he wants to prove to the inner court that he can become a new partner, and if he can't even protect his partner, how can he prove it?
As Mu Shi accelerated his pursuit, he soon saw the flickering fire of a wooden forest, and the tall trees were affected and ignited in pieces, spreading to all sides.
Once it spreads, the whole forest doesn't know how much it will survive.
Mu Shi's eyes flickered, if this fire was left alone, then the situation here would be exposed sooner or later, and the other four mentors would also rush over when they heard the news, then it would be worth the loss.
Mu Shi's eyes rolled, and he knocked on Shen Tan again, who had just entered the contract space, with a weak face. Shen Tan did not appear directly, but sent out a consciousness exchange in the contract space, and the dissatisfaction was almost bursting out, "What's the matter?!" Calculate that the time is not yet up! ”
Mu Shi said softly and flatteringly, "Their fight has ignited the forest, I'm afraid that the fire will get bigger and attract other mentors to come over, my water element is not as fast as your ice element, so I can only trouble you." ”
Shen Tan was silent for a while before he said quietly, "Add another Frozen Emperor Grass." ”
Mu Shi felt the flesh in his heart twitch, gritted his teeth and nodded fiercely, "Okay!" Deal! ”
The white light flashed, and Shen Tan, who was in the form of a little boy, reappeared in front of Mu Shi, glanced at the fire, and said lightly, "You have to think about it, once I use ice qi to extinguish the fire, it will inevitably attract the attention of this martial artist." ”
Mu Shi made a sure gesture, "Don't worry, leave it to me over there, you just put out the fire." ”
Shen Tan nodded, and said no more, the pupils of a blue eye suddenly dilated, and the ice-blue airflow replaced the white one he dominated, dyeing it all over like a small figure carved by ice crystals.
Shen Tan glanced at Mu Shi, opened his mouth, and the cold air that came out immediately caused the water vapor in the air to condense into water droplets, "Then I'll go, be careful yourself." ”
Mu Shi nodded, "Thank you for your hard work." ”
Shen Tan snorted lightly, turned around and rushed towards the fiercest part of the fire, and the cold air flow swept out, striking the spreading fire with precision.
Seeing this, Mu Shi quietly touched towards the two figures in the center of the fire.
In the middle of the raging forest, two men looked at each other, one in a moon-white shirt with a handsome face, and a pair of big eyes that seemed to be able to speak. Although his appearance was as tender as water, he was indeed surrounded by a pure fire attribute serpentine contract beast, his beautiful and slender body tightly protecting his master, and his obsidian-like eyes were firmly fixed on the not far ahead.
There, there stood a tall figure surrounded by an earthy yellow halo, two meters tall, with well-developed muscles like a mountain all over the body, making people tremble to watch.
This is an Earth Elemental Martial Venerable, even if he is restricted from using the Elemental Giant Body, with his own strength, he will still directly crush the students.
The inner court disciples will be able to hold up for a round.
The mentor looked approvingly at the inner courtyard disciple in front of him, and his voice echoed like a muffled thunder on a sunny day, "In less than five years, you will definitely be able to surpass me." ”
The inner court disciple of the fire magician smiled slightly, even if he was at an absolute disadvantage in the face of such a powerful mentor alone, he still maintained absolute calm, "Thank you Mentor Zhao for your praise, but this time, I'm afraid the disciple will be the first to be kicked out." ”
"Hahaha, who let you be left alone and just happened to be caught by me. We also have rewards, but don't blame the mentor for being ruthless! The Earth Elemental Martial Venerable laughed heartily, and the young man immediately seized the gap, stomped his foot, and ran towards the flame-filled forest.
At the same time, the contract beast surrounding his body immediately pounced towards Mentor Wuzun, trying to buy a little more time for his master.
"Haha, the little guy is very bad, and he really refuses to be honest!" The tutor was taken aback. The hand was as fast as lightning and grabbed the spirit snake that was as red as a work of art, and pressed it precisely at a distance of seven inches.
"Squeak-" The spirit snake immediately screamed in pain, causing the fleeing moon-white youth to pause at his feet, and the expression on his face hesitated.
