Chapter 43: The First Battle
The sound of battle on the battlefield gradually subsided, and the entire space where the stargazing battlefield was located was only the faint sound of a few undead creatures moving.
"How big is the stargazing battlefield?" asked Xiyue.
"It is said to be twice the size of Stargazing City, but when you actually come in, it feels quite expansive. Sheffield replied that the two sisters had come in first and had made a cursory investigation.
"Do you want to meet with the people of the Hall of Eternal Life first?" Hua Ye asked again.
"No need, the Hall of Eternal Life has other allies, they will act together, and we will both look for Jingyu at the same time, so we can support each other in the dark when the time comes. Long Qingyao replied.
"Someone should come to us soon, so let's get a good rest and take on the next challenges. Xiyue said, "We need to keep Jingyu for five days, and we still need to survive." "In addition to the monks who have entered the battlefield together, they also have to face all kinds of undead creatures in the battlefield.
Everyone nodded, this place where the crystal jade is hidden is relatively safe, and there is no trace of the activity of undead creatures, but there is no guarantee that those dangerous guys will not appear in the next five days.
The battlefield was completely calm, and Xi Yue and his group of seven people sat cross-legged to breathe, and there was a guardian magic circle around them, built with several kinds of spirit stones, which was shining brightly, hiding several people inside. Although they have the opportunity, it can only be exchanged for temporary peace, and the others will find this place sooner or later. Once someone else comes to them, it means a challenge that comes their way, and before they can do that, they need to adjust themselves to the best they can be.
Especially for Su Chen, Xi Yue, and Long Qingyan, they had no advantage in cultivation, so they could only ensure that they were in the best condition.
The sky of the battlefield was always covered with blood clouds, and a light source from nowhere illuminated this ancient and vicious land, and under the shadow of blood luck, it took on an ominous dark red.
Su Chen stood up and looked around, Xiyue and the others were still meditating, he felt because of an inexplicable throbbing in his heart, and he didn't feel very good. This kind of throbbing came from the two sword souls in his body, and the pair of sword souls full of mysteries transmitted a slight emotion to him, which seemed to be related to this stargazing battlefield.
"Why is this happening?" Su Chen was puzzled, "Could it be that there is something here that caused the reaction of the Twin Sword Souls?" The black and white twin swords were forged from two diametrically opposed forces that originally appeared in his body for no reason, and he hadn't figured out the source of those two powers, so he couldn't know why the Twin Souls had a strange reaction.
Su Chen didn't leave the guardian array, nor did he alarm the others, he was thinking silently.
I don't know how long it has been, he heard the noise from far and near, he came back to his senses, followed the direction from which the sound came, and found two teams of centaurs, not very far from them, it seems that the two teams of centaurs had a dispute, but the two sides did not fight, they should be restrained, after all, they do not want to attract the undead creatures on the battlefield.
The noise woke up several other people, Xiyue was the first to wake up, and when she saw Su Chen standing, she asked him what happened, Su Chen said briefly, and at this time, the others also discovered the two sides one after another. Xiyue frowned and thought about it, and said to everyone: "It seems that we can't continue to stay here, let's hide it for the time being, don't conflict with others." ”
There were still five full days, maybe less than five days, and they had to hold on until the last day, and they also had to keep the existing crystals, so the safest way was to hide if they could.
Su Chen and everyone obeyed Xiyue's arrangement, and the Xuefang sisters and the two eldest young masters of the dragon clan lifted the magic circle, and a group of seven people prepared to flash directly.
However, the argument suddenly stopped, and nine people appeared in front of them, four of them on one side and five on the other.
"I didn't expect there to be people hiding here, what an unexpected bonus. In the foursome, a man sneered and spoke, while looking at the five-person group opposite.
"Do you have crystal jade in your hands?" A cold and glamorous woman in the group of five asked Su Chen and the others, her expression was very arrogant, and she didn't take Su Chen and the seven people in her eyes.
"Nope. Long Qingyan replied indifferently, the opposite side was full of monks from the early stage of the Yuan Infant, and they estimated that they couldn't deal with it, so they could only admit it first. However, how could the dignified Northern Immortal Heavenly Maiden and the Eastern Wilderness Prince tolerate others talking to them in this tone, so although Long Qingyan accosted him, he didn't look at those people.
"Four Yuan Infant Stage, three God Refining Period, just right, I need a few subordinates to do things for me, just you. The cold woman said as a matter of course, they have the advantage of cultivation, so naturally they don't take this little seven-person group of the Eastern Wilderness and the Northern Underworld in their eyes.
"Where did the dog bark and make a noise. Xiyue waved her hand impatiently, "Hurry up and change places, I haven't slept enough." With that, he walked away with his hands behind his back.
Sister Xuefang and Su Chen took her as the head of the horse, so they naturally moved with her, and the same was true for Long Qingyan, and the seven people ignored these people who suddenly appeared, and turned around and left directly.
"Can't you understand people?" the woman's eyes turned cold, a little annoyed. And the people who had a dispute with them before seemed to be smiling, looking hilarious, which made people even more embarrassed.
The cold woman glanced at a man who was traveling with her, and the man understood, and as soon as his body moved, a big knife suddenly appeared in his hand, slashing at Hua Ye who was behind.
The seven-person group who originally wanted to forbear, it was impossible to back down at this time, Hua Ye snorted coldly, turned around and grabbed the knife that slashed at the back of his head, and then said: "Ignore you, do you still think that I am afraid of you, uncle?
In the stunned eyes of the man who sneaked attack, Hua Ye kicked up and kicked the person in the lower abdomen, and the knife was still grabbed by Hua Ye, and the man refused to let go, so he flew directly on the spot, Hua Ye hit him on the back with an inverted elbow, and a sound of bone cracking came out, and the person vomited red in his mouth and fell heavily to the ground, and his backbone had been broken by the great-grandson of the Red Dragon King.
The expressions of the eight people were awe-inspiring, Hua Ye stared at them defiantly, pinched the knife into a twist with his bare hands, and a flame rose in his hand, burning this good-looking treasure knife into scrap iron.
"Come on, uncle, I'm trying to move my muscles!" Hua Ye pointed at the eight people opposite, and stepped on the body of the person on the ground, and the man who just wanted to get up fell down again.
"Crazy guy, die!" On the side of the cold woman, a man with five big and three thick screams burst out, jumped and attacked, and smashed his huge fist directly into Hua Ye's head.
Hua Ye also punched, and the real force of the operation bombarded over, the two fists to fists, there was a bang, Hua Ye did not move, but the hostile person took more than ten steps back, and he could see that his hands were still shaking, he couldn't stretch them out or clench them tightly, his eyes were very frightened, and he asked, "Who are you?"
"Hua Ye!" Hua Ye only reported his name, and did not reveal his origin.
"Okay, I remember you! Come again!" the man grinned, and used his spiritual power to the end of his fingers, and with a crackling sound, his hand returned to its original state, and then he kicked his feet, stepping out of a pit on the ground, and attacked Hua Ye again.
He still attacked with punches, but this time the punches were obviously a little different, and the fists were wrapped in blazing white mangs, and they smashed with a thousand pounds.
"This is the Golden Light Fist of Buddhism, but you don't look like a monk. Hua Ye shot back as he spoke, and he threw out a whip leg sideways, as if the shape of a dragon's tail suddenly appeared, which was the most common "dragon tail swing" in the dragon clan's combat skills.
The fists and legs struck each other, and a violent gust of wind swayed, and the golden light on the fist of the man suspected of being a disciple of Buddhism exploded, splitting into countless beams of light to bombard Hua Ye.
Hua Ye condensed, quickly slapped his palm, and with the strength of the dragon clan's strong body, he managed to dissolve most of the beams, and the other beams could not be avoided, but Hua Ye did not back down and took them all. There is not much difference in the cultivation of the two, and the Golden Light Fist of Buddhism is also extraordinary, Hua Ye is actually not very comfortable, but the natural arrogance of the dragon clan makes him never say a word, and stands proudly on the spot.
However, after the golden light fist, more attacks followed, this man's fist and foot kung fu was very good, and it was suspected that it was related to Buddhism, although Hua Ye was proud, he did not take it lightly. The two of them punched each other, foot to foot, and the fight was "banging", and there was a lot of movement between the flying sand and stones.
The battle between the two affected the poor worm at Hua Ye's feet, and Hua Ye remembered him in the interval between receiving the moves, and kicked him away so as not to interfere with the duel.
"Qiantong, a quick battle!" The cold woman suddenly spoke, she looked behind her, and her expression was a little anxious.
Everyone was shocked, and a chill rose in their hearts, Hua Ye and Qiantong glanced at each other, with the intention of separating the winner from defeat, but also understood that the battle between the two had alarmed the nearby "natives", so they had a tacit understanding and decided to make their last move to decide the superior.
The two separated some distances, only to see Qiantong standing upright, suddenly Bao Xiang*, hands folded, chanting the Buddha's name, a swastika symbol appeared behind him, the golden light was shining, lining him as if the Buddha was alive;
"Oops!" The cold woman's heart sank, and an extraordinarily large figure appeared in the sky in the distance, it was a huge snake bone, and two bewitching red lights in the eye sockets were staring at this side.
"Prajna Seal!"
"The Hidden Dragon Comes Out of the Abyss!"
The two of them moved at the same time, the swastika behind Qian Tong spun and shrunk, turning into his hand, and as he printed it out with one palm, the swastika bloomed with divine light and struck out;
The flames and golden light exploded at the same time, and the two figures flew upside down to their respective camps in the dazzling light, Qing Ji caught Hua Ye who vomited blood, and the cold woman separated two people, one rescued the man with a broken backbone, and the other took the unconscious Qiantong.
The four people who did not participate in the battle had already run away, and after these two parties saved their own people, they also hurriedly ran for their lives, because the undead giant snake had already arrived!
Just when the two sides had just run away, a huge white bone snake tail smashed down! The earth shook violently, the air waves were surging and rolling, swept away, and even lifted a boulder weighing 10,000 catties, Su Chen and the others who fled for their lives were wrapped and rolled up by this air wave, Su Chen grabbed Xiyue with one hand, and Xue Fei with the other, and Xue Fei also reached out and grabbed his sister, and Long Qingyan carried Hua Ye on his back, and Qing Ji hurriedly grabbed Long Qingyan's arm.
However, after the undead giant snake missed, the snake tail swept towards the side of the group of seven, Xue Fei sensed the attack of the snake tail, and shouted to Su Chen: "Protect the heavenly girl!" Then he raised his hand and shook off Su Chen, Xuefang Xuefei was swept in one direction, Su Chen simply hugged Xiyue, and the two were swept in the other direction, but they also happened to avoid this attack of the undead giant snake, and the snake tail smashed on the ground again, and once again set off a monstrous wave of qi, dusty, boulders rolling, mixed with many corpses, blowing away the seven people.
I don't know how long it took, the undead serpent disappeared, and the strange storm gradually subsided, but the earth was unrecognizable.
Su Chen hugged Xiyue in his arms and protected her very well, and with the full operation of the Innate Sword Gang, both of them landed safely, but they didn't know where they were at all.
"They're going to be fine, right?" said Xi Yue hurriedly.
"Xue Fang and Xue Fei should be fine, but I'm worried about Long Qingyan about them. Su Chen frowned.
After landing safely, the two had already walked in a general direction, but no one had encountered, whether they were allies or enemies.
"Alas, what a disaster. Xiyue muttered.
"It's good to get out safely, let's find them quickly. Su Chen smiled.
Xiyue nodded, and the two continued on their way.
The scene in the stargazing battlefield seemed to be eternal, they could not tell the direction or estimate the time, they could only keep moving forward in one direction. This ancient battlefield that was intercepted from the land of Kyushu, under the infection of the corpse evil qi for many years, has long been gone, and there are only bare earth and stones as far as the eye can see, as well as corpses that have appeared at some point and have not rotted so far, and even dark red blood stains that shimmer with a strange faint light.
Along the way, the two of them encountered several sieges by undead creatures, and they still didn't alarm the big guys, Xiyue and Su Chen could always break through in time, but there was no danger.
After escaping again, the two had to choose to hide.
"If we go on like this, we haven't found anyone yet, and we'll have to die of exhaustion first. Xi Yue said, she covered her left arm, there was black blood oozing blue luster between her fingers, in the breakthrough just now, Xi Yue was accidentally injured, and there was a force entangled near the wound, preventing the wound from healing.
Su Chen sighed: "Take a rest here first, and deal with your injuries." ”
Xiyue also sighed, it could only be like this, and Su Chen said to her again: "Let me see." As he spoke, he pointed to Xiyue's left arm. Xi Yue stretched out her left arm, revealing the wound, Su Chen looked at it, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Xi Yue: "It is a very slight corpse poison, and the phoenix blood is enough to dissolve it." ”
"It seems to be getting better, but it's slow. Xiyue pursed her mouth, and the wound was aching, making her left arm unable to exert her strength.
"I'll take care of it for you. As Su Chen spoke, he took off the sachet on Xiyue's waist and took out a black lotus flower, the black jade lotus. He tore off a petal and stuck it on the wound on Xiyue's left arm, and suddenly the black mist steamed and hissed, as if a flame was burning.
"It hurts!" Xiyue couldn't help but withdraw her hand, her eyes were full of tears, she really felt a burning sensation coming from the wound, as if the blood was about to burn.
Su Chen resolutely took her hand and explained gently: "Mo Yulian has a miraculous effect on detoxifying the corpse and dispelling evil qi, you can bear with it." ”
However, Xiyue was really uncomfortable, she had never experienced this feeling of blood and skin burning up, but Su Chen, the bastard, dragged her and didn't let go, and kept pressing the lotus petals on her wounds, which was really hateful! Xiyue couldn't stand the pain, and directly opened her mouth to bite Su Chen's wrist, the force was not light, Su Chen screamed and almost let go.
After half an hour, Xiyue was sweating in pain and fell asleep. But she finally relented, and Mo Yulian's medicinal effect also came into play, and the blood oozing from the wound was no longer black. Su Chenru was pardoned, first placed Xiyue, and then looked at the bitten wrist pitifully, for a moment, he felt that this hand no longer belonged to him......
The sky was still the same color of blood, Su Chen sighed lightly, I don't know what happened to the lost partners now, especially Long Qingyan and Qing Ji, the two of them still have the injured Hua Ye, and it is not easy to think about it.
In a trance, the twin sword souls once again transmitted some kind of emotion of unknown significance, Su Chen was startled, and a chill swelled up, but he looked around again, and still nothing abnormal happened.
"What the hell is going on?" Su Chen was even more confused.
