Chapter 541: On the Road Alone
readx;? The middle-aged man let out a long sigh, looked at Chen Lingxiang with soft eyes, and said, "Fortunately, God has eyes! I didn't expect that after five thousand years, I unexpectedly met the descendants of the Chen Ling family. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
After listening to the middle-aged man's words, Chen Lingxiang's expression had already become sluggish, and the shock brought to him by what the middle-aged man said was too great, causing a very big impact on his soul, which made him a little difficult to accept for a while.
He never thought that the Chen Ling family would have such a glorious and tragic story.
And Zhao Jingfeng, who was standing on the side, was also stunned by the words of the middle-aged man, and what shocked him even more was the strength of the middle-aged man, it was a high-ranking martial venerable! And it was still a martial venerable five thousand years ago, a supreme existence that was enough for him to look up to.
The middle-aged man slowly came to Chen Lingxiang's side, and looked at Chen Lingxiang's eyes as if an elder was looking at the junior, but it was as if he was looking at his descendants, full of love and care, in short, it was very complicated.
"Kid, you should have come to participate in the fiftieth annual martial arts competition!" the middle-aged man said to Chen Lingxiang, his voice soft.
Chen Lingxiang nodded blankly, and now he still hasn't recovered from that shocking heart.
"Are your parents still there?" the middle-aged man continued.
"My parents have always lived in a mountain village, but my grandfather went up the mountain to hunt when I was young and fell off a cliff and died. Chen Lingxiang replied.
The middle-aged man sighed lightly, his expression was sad, and said: "After the end of the martial arts competition, I will accompany you on a trip! Go and bring your family over, I will take care of them on behalf of my old friend, I must not watch my old friend's descendants live such a hard life, I, as a brother, am sorry for him, I owe him too much." ”
"Thank you senior!" Chen Lingxiang was overjoyed, with the care of a middle-aged man, it was difficult for his family to think of a happy and peaceful life, after all, this was a martial artist five thousand years ago, and it was also a master of the temple who was admired by at least the strong men of the martial sect, such a strong man, many people would not be able to see the style in their lifetime.
The sadness between the middle-aged man's expression slowly faded, and he said with a smile: "Child, I am a close friend of life and death with your ancestors, and you don't need to call me senior, if you don't dislike it, just call me Uncle Chen!"
"Yes, Uncle Chen!" Chen Lingxiang shouted respectfully.
The smile on the middle-aged man's face became a little thicker, and he said: "Child, your current strength is still too weak, you can stay here for the time being! I will do my best to help you improve your strength without destroying your foundation, whether the former glory of the Chen Ling family can be reproduced in the world depends on you, don't let your ancestors down." ”
Next, Chen Lingxiang stayed in the temple, Zhao Jingfeng refused Chen Lingxiang's retention, and left the temple, and then the old man who picked up Zhao Jingfeng and the two sent Zhao Jingfeng down again, and finally returned to the valley shrouded in poisonous smoke through the teleportation array.
Zhao Jingfeng discerned the direction, and then walked towards the outside of the valley, but when he came to the edge of the area, he stopped again, hesitated slightly, returned to the valley, and began to set up a tent in a quiet place, he temporarily changed his attention, and planned to cultivate here for a period of time.
The air in the valley is very good, the environment is very beautiful, it is very quiet here, except for some colorful butterflies dancing in the flowers, there is no other life, and outside the valley, a layer of faint pink poisonous smoke covers the sky and the sun is shrouded around, as far as the eye can see, the sky is a layer of dark red, the poisonous smoke does not disperse, slowly drifting, but it does not enter the valley, as if something around the valley is blocking it.
The toxicity of the poisonous smoke is very strong, almost no one among the contestants has the ability to cross here, and there is also a teleportation array leading to the temple, thinking that the master of the temple has also done something here, so Zhao Jingfeng is very relieved, and he is not afraid that he will be disturbed on the way to cultivation, and directly enters the deep cultivation state.
And in Zhao Jingfeng's dantian, the Tianlong Zuma instrument spirit wrapped in a thumb-sized multicolored stone slowly rotated, and a stream of strange aura emanated from the colorful stone, and finally integrated into the Tianlong Zuma instrument spirit, and after absorbing the aura flowing out of the colorful stone, the Tianlong Zuma instrument spirit is also slowly growing, but this degree is very slow, if you are not careful, it is difficult to feel at all.
There is no time in the mountains, in the blink of an eye, Zhao Jingfeng has been in the valley for ten months, during these ten months, Zhao Jingfeng sometimes cultivates in the tent, sometimes practices swords in the flowers, although the strength has not been greatly improved, but the use of his own spiritual power is more handy, and the combat effectiveness is definitely a few points stronger than before.
Now there are only two months left before the end of the knockout round, Zhao Jingfeng originally wanted to practice here while waiting for Chen Lingxiang to come out, but now the remaining time does not allow him to continue to wait, and for the rest of the time, he must go out to collect the participation tokens.
Zhao Jingfeng came to the teleportation array, stared at the Xuanao array carved on the ground for a while, and finally sighed lightly, put away the tent and left the valley without any thoughts.
As for the formation diagram of the teleportation array, Zhao Jingfeng has never watched it since the first day of viewing, this array diagram is extremely mysterious, although it is just a complex pattern, but it contains incomprehensible mysteries of heaven and earth, as if every line that constitutes the formation diagram is pulling the rules of heaven and earth, mysterious and mysterious, it is not at all something that Zhao Jingfeng can understand.
After leaving the elegant small valley, Zhao Jingfeng was in the thick poisonous smoke again, and then walked outside with the feeling he had come.
The bare mountains are shrouded in poisonous smoke all year round, so that there are few plants here, and even if there are, they are highly poisonous poisonous flowers and poisonous plants, which are rare.
After Zhao Jingfeng walked in the mountains for an hour, suddenly, a "rustling" sound came into Zhao Jingfeng's ears, and the sound was dense and connected.
Hearing the sound, Zhao Jingfeng suddenly stopped moving forward, and looked in the direction where the sound came from with a serious face, due to the obstruction of poisonous smoke, Zhao Jingfeng could only see a distance of 100 meters at most.
Soon, a large black shadow appeared in Zhao Jingfeng's sight on the ground, and the black shadow came like a tide, and everywhere he passed, he was covered by the black torrent.
When Zhao Jingfeng saw the body of those black shadows clearly, his face changed suddenly, only to see that those black shadows turned out to be black beetles the size of a thumb, and in mid-air, there were many black beetles the size of a fist with a pair of wings flying quickly.
"It turned out to be a Soul Slaying Beetle. Zhao was startled, and then without a moment's hesitation, he immediately ran outside as fast as he could.
Soul Killing Beetles are very famous in Soul Treasure Star, they are a strange race, not desolate demons, if they are individually, they are indeed not threatening, but this kind of Soul Killing Beetles are all living in groups, and there are tens of thousands or even hundreds of millions of them when they are dispatched, even if the top powerhouses of the Martial Sect class are wrapped in Soul Killing Beetles, there is absolutely no room for survival, let alone Zhao Jingfeng, who only has the strength of the Martial Emperor.
The Soul Killing Beetle itself has a very strong toxin, and it is immune to most of the world's poisons, only a few kinds of poisons can pose a threat to the Soul Killing Beetle, its shell is very thick, it can be compared to steel, it is difficult for people who are not strong to kill it at all, and the Soul Killing Beetle can devour the spiritual power of any spiritual root, and the talisman formed by the spiritual power is like an ornament to them.
Zhao Jingfeng has read a lot of records about the Soul Killing Beetle from some ancient Taoist books, but without exception, the best way to deal with the Soul Killing Beetle recorded in all the ancient Taoist books is to flee, flee from them far away. Because the toxin of the Soul Killing Beetle has a very strong anesthetic effect, once bitten, the toxin will quickly spread to the whole body, making people feel weak, and they don't even have the strength to escape.
Once bitten by a Soul Slaying Beetle, the chances of survival are almost zero, unless there is a miracle life.
Zhao Feng fled towards the outside of the mountain range like a frightening wind, and he was not sure how to deal with tens of millions of soul killing beetles.
In the rear, the Soul Killing Beetle also sensed Zhao Jingfeng's whereabouts, and chased after him, the sound of "rustling" that crawled quickly on the ground was endless, and it was terrifying to listen to, and in the sky, some fist-sized Soul Killing Beetles with wings had already crawled on the ground, one step ahead of the same kind of people crawling on the ground, and the flight speed was even a few points faster than Zhao Jingfeng.
Zhao frightened his demeanor to the extreme, running and jumping fast in the uneven mountains, although he had the strength of the Martial Emperor, the degree was several times that of before, but in the steep mountain road, he couldn't completely swing the degree, how to outrun the soul killing beetle flying in the air.
After a while, Zhao Jingfeng was caught up by some soul-killing beetles, and in desperation, Zhao Jingfeng had to sacrifice the Yanxi sword, and as a sword shadow flashed, countless swords were stabbed out behind him in an instant.
Only a series of "ding-ding-ding" sounds could be heard, and a large number of soul-killing beetles fell from the sky, their entire bodies cut in two, and black liquid flowed out.
With such a delay, Zhao Jingfeng was soon wrapped in more Soul Killing Beetles, and a large group of Soul Killing Beetle instigators surged towards Zhao Jingfeng one after another, fearless of death.
Zhao Jingfeng's Yan Xi Sword had already swung impenetrable, and he laid a heavy sword net in front of him, blocking the approach of the Soul Slayer Beetle, and at the same time breaking through.
Despite this, there were still some soul killing beetles that broke through the sword net laid by Zhao Jingfeng, flew on his body, opened their big mouths and bit down fiercely, under the sharp teeth of the soul killing beetles, Zhao Jingfeng's powerful body that was enough to resist the martial artist's attack with the Natal Soul Treasure was as fragile as tofu and vulnerable.
Zhao Jingfeng didn't pay attention to the soul killing beetle that bit him, and broke through to the outside with all his might, if he continued to be trapped here, when more soul killing beetles caught up in the back, then he would be at the end of his rope.
After many efforts, Zhao Jingfeng finally escaped from the encirclement of the Soul Killing Beetle, and then fled towards the outside of the valley with all his strength without losing a single inch, and at the same time reached out and grabbed a few Soul Killing Beetles that were biting his body, and with a force of his arm, he directly pinched the fist-sized Soul Killing Beetle to pieces, and the black liquid stained Zhao Jingfeng's entire palm.
As soon as the toxin belonging to the Soul Killing Beetle entered Zhao Jingfeng's body, it was washed clean by the blood in Zhao Jingfeng's body, leaving no trace behind.
Although the poison of the Soul Slayer Beetle was terrifying, it could not hurt the Poison King immune body cultivated by the Yin Yang Gold and Silver Snake.
Behind, the Soul Slaying Beetle flying in the air instigated its wings and was still in hot pursuit.
Suddenly, the mountain stone beside Zhao Jingfeng split, revealing a large hole one person high, a giant python with a thickness of one meter and a pale red body flew out of the giant cave like lightning, opened its bloody mouth and bit Zhao Jingfeng.
Zhao Jingfeng's spirit has been highly concentrated, and he saw his body swaying slightly, narrowly avoiding the attack of the giant python, and then directly punched the giant python's head.
The violent concussion from the head made the python's mind feel drowsy, and before the python could wake up, it was wrapped in a group of soul-killing beetles chasing after him, and then the sharp teeth bit all over the python's body.
......A hiss came from the mouth of the giant python, and then the whole body of the giant python began to churn violently, smashing the nearby rocks one after another, and a large number of stone chips flew all over the sky.
The huge body of the giant python contained a lot of soul killing beetles, and the dense soul killing beetles had covered the entire body of the giant python, and soon, the giant python with a one-meter thick body was gnawed by the soul killing beetles to the bones of the corpse, and even the blood was not left, and it disappeared cleanly.
And Zhao Jingfeng had disappeared without a trace, and successfully escaped from the sensing range of the soul killing beetle.
Outside the mountain range shrouded in pink poisonous smoke, a crowd of about twenty people was gathering here, pointing at the bare mountain range in front of them, and talking non-stop.
"I said there must be a treasure in here, otherwise how could there be such an unusual place. Someone said.
"How can there be a treasure in a place where this bird doesn't die! And these pink smoke are highly poisonous, which of us has the ability to enter it?"
"Poisonous smoke doesn't appear here for no reason, it's destined to be extraordinary, and there must be some secret. ”
"Will there be seniors living in seclusion here! I've heard that some powerful seniors will always put some powerful desolate demons around or arrange some things to block people from entering in order to prevent them from being disturbed during cultivation, and I think most of them are ...... here."
