Chapter 003: The Rough Chick Who Ran Away From Home
Thundercloud Town, Cloud Mountain.
This is the extreme west of Yuezhou, one of the nine major states of the Xuanyuan Continent, with poor mountains and bad waters, and fierce beasts rampant, and it is the closest place to the Moyuan Mountain Range in the entire Yuezhou.
In fact, Yunwu Mountain should be regarded as the outermost subsidiary mountain range of the Demon Yuan Mountain Range, and if you walk three thousand miles towards the Cloud Misty Mountain, you can reach the outermost part of the Demon Yuan Mountain Range.
In the Demon Abyss Mountain Range, there are countless extremely powerful Xuan Beast races, among which any strong Xuan Beast is enough to slaughter hundreds of thousands of human races in the entire Thundercloud Town, and even, according to the legend, there are powerful desolate beasts and divine beasts that can be comparable to the strongest human beings, and can destroy mountains and reclaim the sea with a single move.
Fortunately, the number of human beings far exceeds that of the divine beasts, which makes the divine beasts and mysterious beasts of the Demon Yuan Mountain Range have some scruples, and they dare not leave the Demon Yuan Mountain Range casually, let alone slaughter the human race casually.
As a subsidiary mountain range of the Demon Yuan Mountain Range, there are also a large number of low-level mysterious beasts in the Yunwu Mountain, and at the same time, there are a large number of heavenly and earthly treasures in the Yunwu Mountain, and it is precisely because of this that the thundercloud town closest to the Yunwu Mountain has gathered tens of thousands of medicine pickers and hunters, risking their lives to enter the Yunwu Mountain to hunt the mysterious beasts and collect the heavenly materials and earth treasures, so as to obtain rich rewards.
As one of the three major families in Thundercloud Town, the Shen family slowly grew up by purchasing and selling the skins and furs of the mysterious beasts and various medicinal materials.
In order to control more trade shares and dig more benefits, there are often frictions and bloody conflicts between the three major families, and it is precisely because of this that the irreconcilable contradictions between the Shen family and the Jin family have been caused, and the tragedy of the entire Shen family being wiped out will eventually occur.
Early in the morning, before the first rays of sunlight could be sprinkled, a small door behind the Shen family's compound opened quietly, and a young man wearing coarse linen clothes, messy hair, and a layer of light pot ash on his face rushed out, looked around carefully, and made sure that no one was paying attention, so he quickly flashed out, turned around, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
This young man is none other than Shen Li!
A few days ago, after Shen Li took the top-level injury medicine brought by his father Shen Lie, the injury healed quickly, and even the broken ribs were all recovered, and the only thing that was difficult to recover was the meridian that was broken by Shen Hao.
The meridians are all broken, this kind of heavy injury, if it is changed before, even Shen Lie, who is the head of the Shen family, has no way to do it, so he can only slowly recuperate. Shen Li in his previous life completely lost the opportunity to cultivate because of this.
And now Shen Li, that is a strong man who has cultivated to the peak of the Guiyuan Realm in his previous life, and Shen Li does not pay attention to this injury at all.
For Shen Li, the most important thing at the moment is to hurry up and refine the medicinal materials of the Cleansing Pill of the Pulp and Tendon Pill, carve out the divine pattern for himself, and regain the talent of cultivation!
Otherwise, even if the meridians were completely restored, what could they do? Wouldn't they continue to be a waste that didn't have a condensed divine pattern and couldn't cultivate? Couldn't they just wait to see the tragedy of the Shen family being wiped out again?
Soon, Shen Li, who was dressed up in disguise, mixed in the crowd out of the city, left Leiyun Town smoothly, and rushed towards Yunwu Mountain dozens of miles outside the town.
Yunwu Mountain has a radius of 3,000 miles, the ancient trees are towering to the sky, and they are surrounded by clouds and mist all year round, so it is named Yunwu Mountain.
On the periphery of the Cloud Mist Mountain, there are some ordinary beasts, and if you want to hunt the real Mystery Beasts, you must go at least five hundred miles deep into the Cloud Mist Mountain.
According to Shen Li's memories in his previous life, the most powerful Xuan Beast in Cloud Mountain was a Xuan Beast Devouring Sun Python that had reached the peak of the fourth order, which was equivalent to the strength of the peak of the Human Soul Breaking Realm, even if it was an ordinary two or three Xuan Realm powerhouses, they might not be able to kill this Heaven Devouring Sun Python.
It can be said that once you encounter this sky-swallowing sun python, it is almost a certain death!
However, Shen Li was not worried, because Shen Li knew that now was the time for the Swallowing Heaven and Sun Python to hide from the heat, and unless someone who didn't have long eyes annoyed it, it would definitely not appear.
As for some other Xuan Beasts below the third order, although Shen Li didn't have the strength to kill them, Shen Li was confident that he would be able to avoid them smoothly before encountering them.
Soon, groups of hunters and herb pickers were moving towards the depths of Yunwu Mountain, Shen Li did not follow them into the mountain, but circled around the periphery for more than ten miles, collecting some very cheap medicinal materials from time to time.
In the eyes of outsiders, Shen Li is just an ordinary herb picker who has no strength and is timid, and no one pays attention to Shen Li at all.
After going around for a few hours, he was sure that no one was paying attention to him, and soon, Shen Li relied on the memory of his previous life, coupled with his keen perception, and smoothly bypassed the powerful Xuan Beasts in the Cloud Mist Mountain and rushed towards the depths of the Cloud Mist Mountain.
Seeing that after a few more hills, he was about to come to the hidden valley that Shen Li had accidentally discovered when he was fleeing in his previous life, when suddenly, there was a sound of fighting and cursing in the forest not far away.
"You stinky things, even you dare to bully me!" A coquettish reprimand came, followed by the sound of a fight.
Shen Li was stunned for a moment, quietly climbed a towering tree not far away, and then looked towards the place where the fight was fighting.
I saw a young girl wearing a delicate purple shirt and a high ponytail, who looked to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, wielding a cold and shining sword, fighting a wild boar-like beast more than three meters long and covered with sharp spikes.
At first glance, the girl was the daughter of a large family, her skin was very fair and delicate, like the most delicate and smooth porcelain, exuding a dense light, and she had not done any rough work at first glance.
Although the girl was not wearing any valuable jewelry, the Xuantie Sword that exuded an awe-inspiring cold aura alone was worth thousands or even tens of thousands of taels of silver, and ordinary people might not be able to afford it if they didn't eat or drink for decades.
It can be seen that this girl's identity is definitely not ordinary!
And the wild boar that the girl killed, Shen Li could see at a glance that it was a sword-piercing porcupine that had reached the peak of the first-order Xuan Beast and was only one step away from breaking through to the second-order Xuan Beast!
The peak of the first-order Xuan Beast is equivalent to a martial artist at the peak of the human quenching realm, and even, because of the natural physique of the Xuan Beast, the Xuan Beast of the same rank is generally stronger than the human martial artist.
But looking at the way the girl wielded the sword and stabbed the porcupine, although she cursed endlessly, her movements were like flowing water, not chaotic at all, obviously she still had spare strength, from this point of view, this girl's strength is definitely not lower than the peak of the quenching realm!
A girl who is only fourteen or fifteen years old can reach the peak of the Quenching Body Realm with her strength, which is definitely a first-class genius in the entire Thundercloud Town, and even in Qishan County!
Presumably, it should be the children of a big family who came to Cloud Mountain to train. This kind of situation where the children of the big family go to the depths of the forest to hunt fierce beasts happens almost every month, and even the Shen family will send the children of the family to come to Yunwu Mountain from time to time to practice.
Shen Li was already surprised by this.
It's just that the place where this girl fought with the sword-thorn porcupine was the only way for Shen Li to go to the mysterious valley, so Shen Li had to wait patiently for the girl to completely kill the sword-stabbing porcupine before she appeared and left here.
After about a stick of incense, the sword in the girl's hand suddenly became cold, and the girl's speed also increased a lot, only to see a bright sword light flashing, and the sword stabbing porcupine, which had obviously reached the peak of the first-order Xuan Beast and was only one step away from breaking through to the second-order Xuan Beast, was suddenly pierced in the throat by a sword.
"Roar......" the sword-stabbing porcupine howled in despair, and blood gushed out of its body like a fountain.
After just a few breaths, the sword-piercing porcupine, which was more than three meters long and weighed a thousand catties, fell to the ground with a bang, motionless.
"Hmph, stinky thing, who told you to mess with me?" The girl saw the sword-piercing porcupine lying motionless on the ground, so she took the sword, snorted coldly at the corpse of the sword-piercing porcupine, and then left without looking back.
"Well, this ......" Shen Li, who was hiding on the side, was stunned for a moment.
The sword stabbing porcupine that can almost break through to the second-order mysterious beast at the peak of the first order, it is full of treasures! The meat of the sword stabbing porcupine is sold for 10 taels of silver a pound in a restaurant, and even if it is the skin of the sword stabbing porcupine, it is worth hundreds of taels of silver.
Among them, the most valuable are the three longest and hardest sword thorns on the top of the porcupine's head, which are harder and sharper than ordinary iron swords, each of which can be sold for thousands of taels of silver!
But the girl didn't even look at it, as if she didn't care, and just left.
The local tyrants are really so capricious!
waited until the girl had left a full stick of incense and was sure that she would not come back, Shen Li slipped down from the tree and walked to the sword-piercing porcupine, but Shen Li was not too greedy, just cut off the three most valuable sword thorns of the sword-piercing porcupine, and then left quickly.
After experiencing this small twist and turn, Shen Li didn't stop anymore and quickly rushed towards the valley in his memory in his previous life.
After an hour of cautious and circuitous trekking, Shen Li finally arrived in front of the valley that he had discovered by chance in his previous life before dark.
That valley is actually a place hidden in the belly of the mountain with a radius of only a few hundred meters, and when you look down from the top of the mountain, you can only see lush flowers and trees, and you can't see anything abnormal at all, even if you walk in front of it, it is difficult to find the clues!
Only when the moon is at its fullest on the fifteenth day of each month, when the flowers and trees on the mountainside stretch their branches to absorb the moonlight, a gap only a few meters wide will be revealed, and those medicinal materials in the mountainside can also take the opportunity to absorb the moonlight and thrive.
Back then, in order to avoid the pursuit of the Jin family, Shen Li once inadvertently fell into that hidden valley from the top of the mountain, and fell directly into the stream in the valley from a height of hundreds of meters, so he was lucky to leave a life.
However, this time, Shen Li didn't need to risk jumping from the crack that was only a few meters wide, because in his previous life, when Shen Li left that valley, he stumbled upon another hidden passage.
The small valley hidden in the belly of the mountain, in fact, there is another hidden passage, that is a small mountain stream only more than half a meter wide on the mountainside, along the cramped mountain stream that can only bend over and walk, go in for dozens of meters, you will see a bottomless black hole, from this black hole to slide down, you can go all the way to the mysterious valley.
The hidden entrance to the mountain stream was covered with lush weeds, and it was impossible for ordinary people to find it, that is, when Shen Li in his previous life walked out of the valley, he was able to find it.
"Whew! I finally found it!" Shen Li let out a sigh of relief, looking at the seemingly ordinary rocks not far away, but in fact they were extremely clear and special in Shen Li's memory, and a look of hope and nervousness appeared on his face.
I have been reborn in this life, I don't know if there will still be Yin Yang and Glory withered grass in the valley in the memory of my previous life? In this life, can Shen Li change his fate?
All the answers, all the hopes, are in the valley behind the mouth of the mountain stream.
Shen Li forcibly suppressed the tension in his heart, strode forward, brushed aside the weeds, and walked in firmly and calmly.
