Chapter 13: The Yellow Finch Eating a Praying Mantis
After returning to the Shengxian Era, Xiang Hong began to meditate and cultivate. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but he soon discovered that according to the current speed of spiritual power absorption, it would take a very long time to reach the sixth order of condensation.
"No wonder Master said let me practice for 'a few years' before I enter the Seven Star Sect." Xiang Hong couldn't help but be a little depressed, "At this rate, it will take half a year to reach the fourth order of condensation, one year to the fifth order, and two years to the sixth order, wouldn't it take a total of three and a half years!" ”
He turned his head to look at the XL8000 floating beside him, and asked, "Eight thousand, aren't you an immortal cultivation assistance system, is there any way to speed up your cultivation, except for the electric shock." ”
XL8000 hovered in the air and let out a voice: "Your body has been fully activated through the electric shock transformation of the previous stage, and the electric shock can no longer increase your cultivation speed. At present, you can consider finding an environment with more abundant aura to cultivate and increase the speed of leveling. ”
Xiang Hong nodded, and said to himself: "In the environment full of spiritual energy, it seems that I still have to ask the master." ”
The next day, when Xiang Hong asked his teacher Jiang Chang about a suitable place for cultivation nearby, Jiang Chang nodded and said, "I was about to tell you that the aura here in the town is thin, which is not conducive to your impact on higher-level cultivation. Forty miles west of this place, there is a Lianyun Mountain, and there is a very secret valley in the mountain, which I visited once in my early years, and that valley is full of spiritual energy, and it is a good place for cultivation. ”
"That disciple will go to Lianyun Mountain tomorrow to find that valley." Xiang Hong hugged his fist at the master and thanked him.
Jiang Chang pondered for a moment and continued: "There are many fierce beasts in Lianyun Mountain, and you don't have any exercises at the moment, so it is inevitably a little dangerous. I have a set of Flame Fist here, you can take it back and practice it. When encountering monsters, you can also have more self-preservation. After speaking, he took out a book of exercises from his arms and handed it to Xiang Hong.
Xiang Hong took the exercises, respectfully thanked the teacher Jiang Chang, and then went back to the house to pack up his things and prepare to go.
"Xiang Hong, are you leaving again?" Jiang Ying'er didn't know where she heard the news, so she hurriedly ran to Xiang Hong's house and asked him.
Xiang Hong nodded and said, "I'm going to go out to cultivate, and I'll come back after reaching the sixth order of Qi Condensation, it won't take long." ”
"Liar!" Jiang Ying'er looked unhappy, pouted and said, "My father has cultivated all his life, but he has not been able to reach the sixth order of condensing qi, who knows how long it will take you to go." If you go for ten or eight years, then ...... Then who will accompany me to the grocery shopping! ”
Xiang Hong smiled and said to Jiang Ying'er: "Don't worry, I will come back in half a year at most." ”
After packing up his things and bidding farewell to the teacher, Xiang Hong and XL8000 left Qingshan Town and headed due west, and in the evening of the next day, they arrived at the foot of Lianyun Mountain.
Lianyun Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, the mountains are densely wooded, there are many wild beasts, and there are often fierce beasts infested. The local people rarely enter Lianyun Mountain, and only occasionally some people will enter the dense forests to find some spiritual materials, or hunt some demon beasts in exchange for spirit crystals.
After entering Lianyun Mountain, Xiang Hong felt a little like a fish in water, and the environment here was somewhat similar to the dense forests around the Anpoca, which gave him a sense of intimacy.
According to the hints given by Master Jiang Chang, Xiang Hong quickly found the valley in the depths of Lianyun Mountain, and thanks to the assistance of XL8000 along the way, he did not encounter any additional trouble.
However, on the outskirts of the valley, Xiang Hong accidentally found a skeleton, this skeleton was exposed in the dense forest, the flesh and blood on the corpse had been eaten by wild beasts, and only a pile of white bones remained.
Xiang Hong squatted down to take a closer look at the skeleton, judging from the color of the bone, it should have died not long ago. The deceased's sternum had a neat fracture, which was supposed to have been severed by a sharp blade.
"It's the scar left by the sword, this person was not killed by the demon beast, but died at the hands of other monks." Xiang Hong looked around, but he couldn't find this person's package and weapon, it should have been taken away, which confirmed his conjecture.
"In this deep mountain and old forest, is there still someone who can't rob it?" Xiang Hong looked at the quiet valley mouth not far away, and a faint uneasiness rose in his heart.
After thinking about it for a moment, Xiang Hong whispered, "Let's wait for a while, and then we will go into the valley to find out after dark." ”
Xiang Hong waited in place until the night was dark and the forest was dark, then he set off and quietly touched the mouth of the valley, he entered the valley next to the mountain wall, and after walking a distance, a bright light appeared in front of him.
Xiang Hong walked closer and found that it was a bonfire, and there were seven or eight people sitting around the bonfire, all of whom were wearing swords and weapons, and they were talking loudly there.
"Boss, the business has been good recently, the guy he killed the day before yesterday has a lot of valuable things on him, and when he goes back to the city, he can exchange a lot of spirit crystals."
One of the most burly men on the side of the fire nodded, and said: "We are here to wait for the rabbits, these scattered people will be sent to the door by themselves, and we will be sent spiritual materials and spiritual weapons, at this rate, we will be able to gather enough spirit crystals in less than a year, and go back to the sect to change the quota of an inner disciple!" ”
A few people on the side coaxed: "Boss, you will become an inner disciple in the future, but you have to cover a few of us!" ”
The big man laughed and said, "That's natural, you will follow me when the time comes, and I will never treat you badly!" ”
Just as the gang was laughing wildly, suddenly a pitch-black metal ball fell from the sky and fell to the edge of the campfire with a thud. A sharp-eyed man was stunned for a moment, looked at the black ball, and asked, "Which of you threw this, what is it?" ”
Before the others could speak, a huge infrasound wave burst out from the black ball, sweeping from all sides, these people only felt dizzy in their brains, and suddenly their bodies stiffened, and their seven orifices bled out, and they fell to the ground and died one after another!
Xiang Hong hid behind the rocks in the distance, watching these seven or eight people all fall to the ground, and nodded slightly, it seems that the infrasonic grenade has a very good effect on low-level monks.
He stepped out from behind the stones, shook his head, and said, "Everyone else is cultivating hard, but you people are going to follow the crooked path, and I have no choice but to do the right thing for the heavens." ”
At this moment, the burliest man struggled to sit up from the ground, looked at Xiang Hong with bloodshot red eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "Who are you?" ”
Xiang Hong was slightly stunned, this person was not killed by an infrasonic grenade at such a close distance, it seems that his cultivation should be stronger than others.
"My name is Yellow Sparrow, and I specialize in eating you praying mantises." Xiang Hong walked up to the big man, who was barely sitting there, his brain center and nerves all over his body had been destroyed by infrasound, and he was completely unable to move, just fish and meat to be slaughtered.
A hint of fear flashed in the big man's eyes, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Don't kill me, I am a disciple of Jiuxuantang, and there are many spiritual materials and spiritual weapons in the cave over there, all of them are for you, surround my life!" ”
Xiang Hong raised the pulse pistol and aimed it at the big man and pulled the trigger, and with a slight explosion, a bright blood splash splashed on the big man's head, and he turned over and fell to the ground with a pop, completely dead.
"Since you are a disciple of the sect, you can't leave a living mouth." Xiang Hong looked at the dead corpse on the ground and shook his head.
He searched these people's bodies, but didn't find anything useful, these people's swords are all ordinary spiritual weapons, not much stronger than ordinary weapons, and Xiang Hong is used to using daggers, these long knives and long swords are quite difficult to pick up.
It was only on the leader's body that he found a storage bag, which was a monk's unique piece of equipment, with a spatial function, and although it looked small on the outside, it could hold a lot of things.
Xiang Hong opened the storage bag and examined it, there were a large number of spirit crystals inside, there were thousands of them, and they should have been robbed from Sanxiu. In addition, there are more than a dozen bottles of pills, and a pitch-black wooden token, which is engraved with the word "Xuan", the big man said that he is a disciple of Jiuxuantang, and this token is most likely the token of Jiuxuantang.
Xiang Hong received the storage bag on his body, and then piled these people together, found some firewood, and burned them all directly.
