Chapter 12: The Chaos Ancient Beast Appears
The Yuan family's Baicao Garden, like the Lin family's Luoxia Iron Mine, is located in the Luoxia Mountains southeast of Yuling City.
Coming out of the city gate, she used the volley technique to run as fast as she could to the southeast.
It was a full hour before she reached the entrance to the Luoxia Mountains. As far as the eye can see, there is a vast forest sea ahead, and the mist wafting above the forest sea makes it look like you are in a fairyland.
Yuan Junyao plunged into the forest and jumped across the forest like a projectile. For about half an hour, her nose had already smelled a faint fragrance.
This is the fragrance of a large number of medicinal herbs.
Sure enough, in her sight, there was a hundred herb gardens enclosed by wire fences.
"Who is coming! Please stop! This is the territory of the Yuan family, and the intruders are killed! "The entrance to the wire fence was guarded by ten guards at the same time, and since she didn't hide herself, they discovered it at the first time.
"Miss Yuan, Yuan Junyao!" In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, she directly reported her identity.
"Who is the person in charge of the Baicao Garden, take me to see him quickly!" As she spoke, she had already walked over to the guards.
"It's really the eldest lady" Among the guards, one of them recognized Yuan Junyao.
"I have long heard that the eldest lady who has been missing for three years is back, but I didn't expect it to be true" The guard who recognized Yuan Junyao said excitedly on his face. Once upon a time, she was the pride of the entire Yuan family, and she was the woman that countless people wanted to pursue, and this guard was one of the people who pursued Yuan Junyao.
"Miss, my name is Huang Wu, I led a horse for Miss once three years ago, I wonder if Miss still has an impression of me?" The guard who recognized Yuan Junyao asked excitedly, but before Yun Qingyan could answer, he immediately said, "Miss, my subordinates will take you to the leader of Yuan Hao!" ”
"It turned out to be Huang Wu, of course I remember. Three years ago, my eldest brother and I returned from hunting, and when we returned to the family, it was you who led the horse! She didn't think about it and blurted out.
"Yes, yes, I didn't expect the eldest lady to remember me!" Huang Wu, who was in his thirties, was even more agitated on his face.
"When was Won-ho sent here?" Yuan Junyao asked seemingly casually, he had some impression of Yuan Hao, Yuan Hao was not surnamed Yuan, but because he had made a lot of contributions to the Yuan family, he was given the surname 'Yuan'. In terms of generation, Yuan Hao, who is in his forties, can also be regarded as Yuan Junyao's uncle.
"Miss Hui, after the leader of Yuanhao reached the seventh order of Yuanying a year ago, he was sent to garrison Baicao Garden." Huang Wu said truthfully.
"Oh?" Yuan Junyao had doubts in his heart, Yuan Hao's talent was mediocre, and under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to be promoted to the seventh order of Yuan Ying in this life.
A moment later, Huang Wu took Yuan Junyao and came to the outside of a simple building.
"Are you Yuan Junyao?" At this moment, a middle-aged man in his forties with big eyes walked out.
"Hmm!" She nodded slightly, and her divine sense swept over the middle-aged man in front of her.
"It's actually the eighth order of Yuanying, but it's a cultivation that has been piled up with drugs." With a divine sense, she spied into Yuan Hao's bottom thoroughly.
"Great, I didn't expect the eldest lady to really come back! Not long ago, when the clansmen who replenished supplies came here, I heard them say that the eldest lady who had been missing for three years had returned, and I wanted to return to the family to visit at that time, but the responsibility of guarding the Baicao Garden was too great, and I really couldn't spare time to go back. The middle-aged man Yuan Hao sighed and said, looking very regretful.
"It's okay, Uncle Yuanhao doesn't have time, didn't I come to see Uncle Yuanhao." She spoke.
"Uncle Yuanhao, has there been anything unusual in Baicao Garden recently?" She then asked again, seemingly casually, but her divine sense paid attention to Wonho's expression.
"Anomalous? No, I've been stationed in Baicao Garden until now, and Baicao Garden has always been normal. Yuan Hao's face remained unchanged. However, although he hid it well, the imperceptible panic that flashed in his eyes was still captured by her.
"Leader Yuanhao, haven't there been medicinal herbs lost all the time recently? Moreover, many of the lost places have animal footprints. Huang Wu, who was standing behind Yuan Junyao, suddenly said.
"Lost herbs? Animal footprints? Yuan Junyao's expression moved, and then he turned around, "Huang Wu, you tell me the specifics." ”
"Yes, eldest miss" Huang Wu was about to explain, but was suddenly interrupted by Yuan Hao.
"Huang Wu, you step back first, and I will explain to the eldest lady in person. Yuan Hao directly dismissed Huang Wu.
"Miss, that's right, not long ago, a wild beast climbed over the wire fence and entered the Baicao Garden to steal medicinal herbs. The Baicao Garden covers an area of millions of square meters, and this beast is relatively petite, so we can't catch any trace of this beast for a while and a half. Yuan Hao looked at Yuan Junyao and said, at the end, he added: "Because the lost medicinal materials are all very ordinary medicinal materials, so when the eldest lady asked if there was anything abnormal just now, I didn't say anything." ”
"Take me to see what the footprints look like." She thought for a moment and said.
"Yes," Yuan Hao hesitated for a moment before replying.
The herb garden is divided into many areas, some of which are planted with ordinary herbs, and some are planted with precious medicinal herbs.
In the general area, different medicinal herbs are planted in a special area. The same is true in the noble area, but in the precious area, the same medicinal herbs are divided into different years.
Take Ganoderma lucidum as an example, a region below 10 years, an area between 10 and 20 years, and another area between 20 and 50 years.
As for herbs that are more than 100 years old, because of their scarcity, even different varieties of medicinal herbs are planted in the same area.
Yuan Hao took Yuan Junyao and walked to the central area of Baicao Garden.
In the area on the edge of the Hundred Herb Garden, ordinary medicinal herbs are planted, and the closer to the center, the more precious the elixir is planted.
When she came to the ginseng planting belt in the precious area, she suddenly stopped, and she found a small row of footprints.
The footprints were small, a few points smaller than a baby's fist, and judging by the footprints, the 'animal' was small in size, but not lightweight, and had only one toe.
"This seems to be left by some kind of spirit beast," Yuan Jun Yao muttered, and thousands of spirit beasts flashed through his mind in an instant.
However, none of them meet the characteristics of small size, heavy weight, and one toe.
"Miss, what kind of footprints do you think these are left by animals?" Yuan Hao asked suddenly.
"Animals? No surprise, this should be the footprints left by the spirit beast. As she spoke, she continued to walk towards the central area of the Hundred Herb Garden.
Spirit animals resemble animals in appearance, but unlike animals, spirit animals have extremely high intelligence, and they are not even a few points worse than humans. Moreover, spirit beasts, like humans, can cultivate, and after cultivating to the innate soul, they can turn into human form.
In the fairy world, spirit beasts that can transform are called demon clans.
Among the nine immortal emperors in the immortal world, there are three immortal emperors who are demon clans.
"Strange, why didn't my consciousness feel any trace of it" As she got closer and closer to the center, she smelled a strange smell in the air, apparently the smell was emitted by the spirit beast. It's just that what makes her puzzled is that her divine sense can't catch the existence of the other party.
Her divine consciousness is the divine consciousness of the Immortal Emperor, unless she is also a strong Immortal Emperor, otherwise there is no character in the world who can escape her divine consciousness perception.
"Miss, it's almost lunchtime, why don't we go back to eat first, and then come back to investigate in the afternoon." Yuan Hao, who was walking behind her, said suddenly.
"No, I'm not hungry yet." She said without looking back.
"Miss, you're not hungry, but I'll be hungry!" Yuan Hao's cold and aggravated tone.
"If you're hungry, go back yourself." Yuan Junyao still didn't reply, as if he didn't hear the change in Yuan Hao's tone.
"Miss, why are you so bothered" Yuan Hao sighed, a faint murderous aura emanated from him, "I don't know if the eldest lady has ever heard a sentence, the husband is not guilty of his crimes, such a noble thing as a spirit beast, not everyone is qualified to have it, why should the eldest lady persevere." ”
"Oh? What does Uncle Yuanhao mean by this? She turned, her eyes slightly cold.
"I don't mean anything else, I just want to persuade the eldest lady to leave Baicao Garden, there are some things that the eldest lady is not qualified to touch!" Yuan Hao looked at the woman in front of him and said with a gloomy face.
"Are you threatening me?" The coldness in Yuan Junyao's eyes was even heavier.
"Huh, threat? If the eldest lady wants to think so, it is not impossible! When Yuan Hao spoke, he was already walking towards her, "Okay, my patience is limited, if the eldest lady is unwilling to leave by herself, then I have to personally invite you to leave!" ”
"Baicao Garden is the territory of my Yuan family, you Yuan Hao put it bluntly, but it is just a dog raised by the Yuan family, are you sure you want to use the word 'please' to let me leave here?" Her eyes had narrowed by this time.
was compared to a dog by this woman, Yuan Hao not only did not get angry, but laughed loudly: "Hahaha, what about the dog, today, my dog, is about to devour the master!" ”
Yuan Hao's voice fell, and he slammed out, at this time, he was less than three meters away from Yuan Junyao.
only heard a loud sound, Yuan Hao's attack was almost attached to her, and this only took less than a hundredth of a second.
But in such a short time, Yuan Junyao's body tilted, and he dodged Yuan Hao's attack, and the next moment, Yuan Junyao grabbed Yuan Hao's back with his backhand.
Bang –
Yuan Hao reacted extremely quickly, suddenly turned around, and slammed his palm into the palm that Yuan Junyao had grabbed. With the help of the shock force of this palm, the body flew backwards for dozens of meters.
"I guess the eldest lady must be surprised now, right? Even Yuan Dong of the seventh order of Yuanying is not your opponent, but now he can't even take my dog. Yuan Hao, who fell in the middle of the medicine bush, looked at Yuan Jun Yao with a playful expression.
"The cultivation of the eighth order of the Yuan Infant is also worthy of my surprise? And do you really think I can't take you? Disdain flashed in her eyes, and then, a slamming palm slammed into Yuan Hao.
She really disdains Yuan Hao, even the Great Elder of the Ninth Order of Yuan Ying is not her opponent, what is Yuan Hao.
"Hahaha, don't die with a hard mouth, the Lin family sent someone to tell me yesterday that the eldest lady is almost also a cultivation of the seventh order of the Yuan Infant, but the combat power is higher than the ordinary seventh order of the Yuan Infant! And I, but I'm a real Yuan Infant Eighth Order! Yuan Hao sneered, and also punched her.
Rumble!
When the two fists collided, there was a loud and piercing sound, followed by a shockwave that swept around.
Looking at Yuan Hao again, he had already been bombarded in his chest by Yuan Junyao's mountain palm, and he fell directly into a coma.
"Are you really just the seventh order of the Yuan Infant?" Yuan Junyao muttered in a low voice.
Suddenly, Yuan Junyao's face changed, but it was too late, a cold killing machine came from her back, and just as she was dodging, an attack had already landed on the unconscious Yuan Hao, directly ending Yuan Hao's life.
"Meow!" With a sound similar to a cat's meow, a young spirit beast, as if teleporting, appeared out of thin air ten meters away from Yuan Junyao.
This spirit beast has an orange body, clean fluff, and a petite body, only a few points larger than the palm of an adult's hand, and looks like a kitten that has just been weaned, exuding a holy aura on its body.
But unlike cats, it has only one toe on all four legs, and strangely, it seems to be heavy, giving it a heavy feeling when standing on the ground.
Its two eyes were full of spirituality, but at this time, there was a strong hatred in the agile eyes.
"It turned out to be you....." Yuan Junyao, who was not shocked when the sky fell, changed her face greatly at this time, and her face was full of shock and shock.
"No wonder I can't sense it, it's you!" She suddenly realized, and at the same time, as if she was facing a great enemy, her eyes were firmly fixed on the spirit beast in front of her.
"Meow meow" It seems to want to speak, but it can't speak, and can only scream like a burst of anger.
"Humph! This is a shame, don't forget, in the space passage, you attacked me first! Yuan Junyao snorted coldly, and he could understand the other party's 'barking'.
The spirit beast in front of her was none other than the Chaos Ancient Beast she encountered in the space passage on her way back to the Feather Spirit Continent from the Immortal Realm!
The Chaos Ancient Beast has another name, the Spirit of Chaos!
It was born out of chaos and was the first life in the universe.
In the fairy world, the spirit of chaos has been extinct in the ancient period, but despite this, there are countless legends about the spirit of chaos in the fairy world.
Like the gluttonous beasts, the Chaos Spirits evolve by devouring. But gluttonous beasts can only devour living beings, while chaos spirits can devour all matter in the world.
As small as the invisible air, the power of the five elements, and the power of the law are so large that even the heavens and the earth, the sun, the moon and the stars can be devoured!
"Meow meow" The Spirit of Chaos roared as it flew towards Yuan Jun Yao.
It was so fast that even she could barely see its movements.
In front of it, Yuan Junyao didn't dare to have any support, so he immediately performed a volley technique and jumped to a height of more than twenty meters.
Shout!
In the mouth of the spirit of chaos, he suddenly spit out a stone and shot it towards Yuan Junyao in the air. Yuan Hao was shot through his brain with a stone and died.
"Collapse Mountain Palm!"
The stone broke through the air, and she didn't have time to dodge at all, so she could only carry it with her heavy palm.
With a bang, the stones shattered, and the skin of her palm was cracked, overflowing with blood like flowers.
She didn't care about the pain now, and when she blocked the stone with her palm, there was a shock, and she used this shock force to keep her body at a height of more than twenty meters, and then moved to the sky behind her.
In the face of the Chaos Ancient Beast, there was only one thought in her mind, and that was to escape-
In that spatial passage, the reason why she was able to barely defeat the Chaos Ancient Beast was completely dependent on the Qingling Arrow.
And now, let alone the Qingling Arrow, she doesn't even have a weapon in her hand.
The volley technique was performed by Yuan Junyao to the extreme, and her jade feet stepped on the sky, as if she was walking on the ground, and like a dragonfly dotting water.
"Meow!" The Chaos Ancient Beast looked a little amused in its spiritual eyes, and then, it sprayed several stones into the air in a row.
Yuan Junyao only felt that the hairs on her body stood up, and she hurriedly flipped a heel fight in mid-air, and the stones that burst out of her body passed by.
But also because of the somersault, her body could only fall from the air to the ground.
Yuan Junyao's face was extremely unsightly, in the sky, she still had a little possibility of escaping, but when she got to the ground, she was afraid that she would be kneaded by the Chaos Ancient Beast.
The battle of the space passage was an earth-shattering battle.
A man and a beast hit the extraterritorial starry sky from the space channel, and then hit back from the extraterritorial starry sky to the space channel, and the stars that were destroyed by the battle alone reached a terrifying number of thousands.
As a result, it was a lose-lose situation.
Yuan Junyao exhausted his cultivation, and even the Qingling Arrow and the storage ring were missing.
The Spirit of Chaos was not much better, it was also exhausted of its cultivation, and she was beaten back to its prototype, which is what it is now.
You must know that the Chaos Ancient Beast in its heyday, with a single body, was the size of a mountain, and it could turn its hands into clouds, cover its hands into rain, and even sneze casually, it could form a raging hurricane.
Yuan Junyao also thought that the Chaos Ancient Beast that was beaten back to its original form by her would be lost in the spatial passage, but she didn't expect to come to the Feather Spirit Continent like her.
Moreover, the speed at which the Chaos Ancient Beast recovered was significantly higher than her.
From the contact just now, she deduced the realm of the Chaos Spirit, the eighth order of the Yuan Infant...
Compared to her now, she is only one order lower!
If she changed the object, not to mention that the other party was the eighth order of the Yuan Infant, the ninth order of the Yuan Infant, or even the third order of the Star Moon Realm, she would not frown.
But the spirit of chaos could only think of fleeing in her heart!
After all, the Spirit of Chaos is an existence of the same level as her, and her speed and combat effectiveness are not below her.
Like her, the Chaos Ancient Beast can improve its strength by burning essence blood, the only difference is that Yuan Junyao is a burning Immortal Emperor essence blood, and the Chaos Ancient Beast is burning Chaos essence blood.
"Chaos Ancient Beast, are you iron-hearted, must you die to the death?" She took a deep breath and looked solemnly at the Chaos Ancient Beast that exuded a holy aura.
Hatred appeared in the eyes of the Chaos Spirit, and then, with its slender forefoot, it made a throat-cutting motion, "Meow Meow"
"Hehe, indeed, if you can devour me, you can at least directly recover into an innate being, and even your talent will be more than twice as strong as before, but you have neglected one point!" Yuan Junyao paused, his eyes narrowed, "As an Immortal Emperor, how can I not have the means to save my life?" ”
