Chapter 953: Barren Mountain
Walking in the thick spiritual mist, Ye Xuedie's face gradually softened, she had never felt such a terrible anger and bloody smell in a person, which made her feel more afraid than the difference in strength.
She looked at Qu Feng and said, "That person had obviously already started just now, why did he suddenly stop again?"
Qu Feng smiled: "I broke his limited spiritual technique, and almost hit his soul hard, and gave him such a lesson, if he didn't know how to stop, he would be a little overwhelmed." ”
Ye Xuedie's face showed a look of surprise, and said, "So you have already fought just now?"
"It's not about fighting, it's a kind of mutual temptation. Qu Feng said with a smile: "But in the near future, if he still guards Hori City, I am afraid this battle will not be avoided." ”
Ye Xuedie looked at the playful smile on the corner of Qu Feng's mouth, and couldn't help but be a little worried.
"Okay, let's talk about it later, the most important thing now is to find a safe and secluded place, and I should make some breakthroughs. ”
The thick mist filled the surroundings, and the air was not only not damp, but also extremely refreshing and comfortable, and the two walked in the spiritual mist for a long time, walking from the south side of Huoli City to the east side, except for meeting a few spirit masters at the level of Spirit Venerable on the way, they did not find anything.
At this time, what appeared in front of the two of them was a vast mountain range, which went around from east to north, enveloping both sides of Hori City, and from time to time there were bursts of roaring sounds from the mountains, which made people feel a little creepy.
Qu Feng's gaze swept around, his brows furrowed slightly, and said: "This place also belongs to the sphere of influence of the Spirit Master Guild, and the spiritual energy is even more abundant than other positions, but no one cultivates here."
Ye Xuedie hugged Xiao Hei's hands and couldn't help but tighten, and said, "I always feel that this place seems a little weird. ”
Qu Feng nodded, his eyes lit up, and said, "There is someone in front, maybe you can know something from him, let's go." ”
The two of them walked in the direction that Qu Feng perceived, and after a short time, a slightly rickety figure appeared in the sight of the two, it was an old man, who was squatting on the ground at this time picking a bright red fruit the size of a thumb, although his appearance was ordinary, but he had the cultivation of a ground-level soul master.
Qu Feng and Ye Xuedie glanced at each other, then stepped forward and said, "Hello, old uncle, there are some things I want to ask you about. ”
The old man heard the words behind him, his face immediately changed violently, his legs squatting on the ground kicked suddenly, his body jumped out like a spring, and shot straight out two feet away, I don't know when, a sharp knife appeared in his hand, even if the surrounding fog was filled, it still couldn't cover the cold light on the tip of the knife!
The old man's swift movements were not proportional to his age at all, he quickly turned around, and the hand holding the sharp knife tightened at the same time, and the spiritual power of the soul master level spread out from his body, as if as long as he wanted, the tip of the sharp knife could pierce the enemy's throat in the next moment!
"What people!"
A strong shout came from the old man's mouth, and it was only then that his gaze fell on the two people in front of him.
Not only Ye Xuedie, but even the music style was a little confused by the old man's somewhat exaggerated reaction, and after coming back to his senses, he hurriedly said: "Old uncle, we have no malice, don't be afraid." ”
The old man looked Qu Feng and Ye Xuedie up and down, his solemn face gradually relaxed, and said: "It turned out to be a human being, I thought I met a guy in the barren mountain, and I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat." ”
"The guy in the barren mountain?" Qu Feng raised the corner of his eyes slightly, and his eyes swept over the vast mountain range through the thick mist again, and said, "It turns out that this mountain range is called the barren mountain."
"Hey, young man, I advise you to get out of here with this little girl, the place where we are standing now is only a peripheral area, and it is safer, if you go inside, you will encounter something that is not good. ”
Qu Feng said: "Old uncle, isn't this the sphere of influence of the Spirit Master Guild, since the spiritual energy of this barren mountain is so sufficient, why is there no spirit master cultivating here?
The old man smiled and said: "As soon as I look at you, this young man knows that there is no preparation, let me tell you, the periphery of Hori City is divided into two areas, one is the west of the city and the south of the city, this area is the sphere of influence of the Spirit Master Union, cultivating on both sides, as long as you don't encounter crazy spirit beasts, generally speaking, there will be no danger."
The other area is the east and north of the city of Hori, which are dominated by continuous mountains, known as the Barren Mountain Range, and the reason why there are no human beings is because this mountain range belongs to spirit beasts. ”
"A spirit animal?"
The old man continued: "After years of development and mutual adaptation, a large part of the spirit beasts in this vicinity can coexist with humans, but some are always partial, not all.
Some powerful and arrogant spirit beasts refuse to get along with humans, and they are unwilling to leave this place, so there is an independent area of Barren Mountain, although the spirit master union is strong, but it can't kill all the spirit beasts in this area, so it acquiesces to the existence of this area. ”
Qu Feng's eyes narrowed half-narrowed, and he said, "In other words, the people living in the barren mountain are all powerful spirit beasts?"
"Mostly, yes. The old man said: "I am a resident of Hori City, but I have only dared to move around the periphery of this area for so many years, and I have never encountered humans and spirit beasts, so I was scared by the two of you just now."
Although the aura of the barren mountain is rich, it is not something that humans can enjoy, and many people have entered it, but most of them cannot come back. ”
Ye Xuedie's pretty face showed a slight hint of nervousness, and said, "Old uncle, what kind of strength does the spirit beast in that barren mountain have, even the spirit master union can't help it?"
"Strength?hehe, the Spirit Master Guild is the place with the largest number of Holy Spirit powerhouses, you say, what strength should the spirit beast have in the barren mountains in the same area as the Spirit Master Guild?"
"Sixth Order?"
"What do you say?" the old man laughed, squatted down and picked two bright red fruits, put them in the bamboo basket, and said: "It's getting dark, I should go home, you two little dolls should leave quickly, otherwise there is really an accident, even if those adults in the union come, they will not be able to save you." ”
After speaking, the old man put on the bamboo basket on his back and walked towards the south.
"Xiao Feng, let's go quickly, if we really provoke those sixth-order spirit beasts, it will be troublesome. ”
Qu Feng looked at the figure of the old man who gradually disappeared into the mist, an excited smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Don't go, I have chosen the place to cultivate, this is it."
