Volume III, Chapter 97
After cleaning the battlefield, everyone was back on the road.
Chen Fan asked Gao Qiang, Ma Shan and others to follow Yu Ruoxi and them first, he would follow after dealing with the corpses of the Blood Tiger and the Berserk Demon Bear, Shui Er, Shui Shan and Shui Si followed Gao Qiang and them together, Shui Wu, Shui Liu, and Shui Qi stayed to help, originally Shui Yiyi also had to follow, but Chen Hong didn't want to leave, no matter what he said, he had to stay and follow Chen Fan, Chen Fan had no choice but to agree, and Shui Yiyi was close to protect Chen Hong, so he naturally stayed.
Yu Ruoxi originally wanted Chen Fan to go with him, but seeing that Chen Fan was determined to stay alone, and seeing that there were four innate masters accompanying him, it should be fine, so he had to leave first.
After Yu Ruoxi and the others left, Chen Fan immediately put the corpses of the Blood Tiger and the Berserk Demon Bear into the storage pool, and then slowly followed Yu Ruoxi and the others. With the induction with Shui'er and others, Chen Fan was not afraid that he would follow at all.
The gorge is north-south, and the inside is the north, Yu Ruoxi's destination this time is a valley about fifty miles northwest of the gorge, which Uncle Ming accidentally discovered when he came here to adventure before, because there are many herbs in the valley, but Uncle Ming didn't understand it very well, he only remembered the location at that time, and didn't pick the herbs away, this time when the head of the family needed herbs to save his life, he remembered that he seemed to have seen this herb in this valley, so he led the team over.
Chen Fan was not in a hurry to meet Yu Ruoxi, he just followed from a distance, he was thinking about what he should do in the future.
The inside of the Thick Gorge Forest is more dangerous than imagined, and the periphery is better, and the middle part has already begun to appear Level 3 Ancient Beasts, if two come at the same time, then even if it is yourself, you can only escape. But there are not many herbs on the periphery. The purpose of coming in is to find enough medicinal herbs for alchemy as soon as possible, and if you go back to the periphery, it will be difficult to achieve your goal.
After thinking about it, Chen Fan still didn't make up his mind, if he was the only one, he would have already made up his mind to stay here. There is no danger, where is the big harvest, but there are still Chen Hong and others, so they have to think carefully.
And just as Yu Ruoxi and the others were heading towards the valley, I don't know if it was a coincidence or if everyone's destination was the same, the other two teams also headed in the direction of the valley, and the meeting of the three "males" had already entered the countdown.
"Whew!"
A bolt of finger shot out, blasting the head of a viper hanging from a tree. Fell to the ground weakly.
Chen Fan was a little bored, he originally wanted to see if he could meet two more ancient beasts in the middle, but unfortunately, he couldn't even see the shadow, so he had to practice the external use of the "Divine Qi" boringly, and sent out his fingers to hit the surrounding poisonous snakes, spiders, and poisonous insects. Unexpectedly, the quasi-head is actually not bad, and it can basically hit. It seems to be very talented in this area.
Killing up, Chen Fan's hands flicked again and again. In the sound of "snort", countless fingers shot out to the left, front, and right, poisonous snakes, spiders, butterflies, poisonous insects, and branches...... As long as Chen Fan saw it, he was shot down to the ground.
The power emitted by using the "Divine Qi" at the peak of the day after tomorrow was quite good within one zhang, and the branches of the thick arm were pierced. Those poisonous snakes, spiders and the like are even more shattered.
It's a pity that the physical power can only be exerted in close contact, and it can't be superimposed on the "Divine Qi", otherwise the power will explode.
Now Chen Fan's physical strength and the power of the "Divine Qi" have reached the peak realm of the day after tomorrow, and he can emit any kind of power alone. It can reach more than 2,000 kilograms of striking power, if these two forces can be perfectly superimposed, the attack power will be able to reach more than 5,000 kilograms of striking power, and the power is close to the innate first-level realm, but unfortunately, now he has newly obtained the right to use the "Divine Qi", and he can't use it proficiently, and the two can only reach more than 3,000 kilograms of striking power, just reaching the level of the Great Perfection of the day after tomorrow.
With the improvement of Chen Fan's level and the increasing proficiency in the use of "Divine Qi", the power of Chen Fan's melee attack will become stronger and stronger, and the challenge of skipping will no longer be a dream, not to mention that the leapfrog challenge is one level higher, even if it is a leapfrog challenge of two or three levels, it will not be a problem, because he is the "Divine Qi" and the physical strength is improved at the same time, unlike others who only specialize in one kind of cultivation, just like a person who cultivates both internal and external skills at the same time, and he only needs to cultivate the "Divine Qi" , the physical strength will naturally be improved, and it will take less time than others.
Chen Hong quietly followed behind Chen Fan, surrounded by Shui Yiyi, who had been following her, and Shui Wu and the other three girls were on guard in the left, right, and back directions.
Looking at Chen Fan's back, Chen Hong's face showed a gentle smile, as long as she looked at Chen Fan quietly, she would feel very calm and comfortable in her heart, but as soon as she left Chen Fan, she would feel panicked and uncomfortable.
After venting for a while, Chen Fan finally stopped.
Turning his head, Chen Fan smiled at Chen Hong and said, "Honghong, are you tired? ”
From the gorge to here, it has been more than 30 miles in a straight line, and the speed of the road is relatively fast, although Chen Hong has martial arts in her body, she is not very tired, but after all, she is a girl, her physique is not very good, and she has been slightly shorter and shorter in her breathing, and her face has become red and fluttering due to strenuous exercise, which is not pitiful.
However, she shook her head and said, "I'm not tired. ”
Looking at Chen Hongjiao's panting appearance, Chen Fan gently pinched her nose and said with a smile: "Okay, don't you tell the truth with me? With that, Chen Fan turned around and squatted down in front of Chen Hong.
For Chen Hong, Chen Fan has always been a little worried, especially after last night's incident, he is even more worried, although today she looks okay and very happy, but Chen Fan pays more attention to her situation, he doesn't want her to be unhappy.
Seeing Chen Fan squatting in front of him, Chen Hong walked over happily without hesitation, and lay on Chen Fan's back, with a smile on his face.
Feeling that Chen Hong was already lying on his back, Chen Fan hugged Chen Hong with both hands, stood up, and said loudly: "Okay, let's go." Then he ran in the direction of the high strength and others who had been obtained from telepathy, and before that. Shui Yiyi had already rushed in front of him, taking the lead in exploring the way, while Shui Wu and the other three girls continued to follow Chen Fan according to the position just now, and together with Shui Yiyi, they escorted Chen Fan in all directions.
One man and four women are moving forward very fast, in the blink of an eye. disappeared into the vast sea of forests.
It is not that the further you go inside, the denser the trees become, but in some parts of the forest, the trees become a little sparse, which also gives the shrubs and herbs a chance to survive. They can absorb enough sunlight to thrive.
Since it is inaccessible and gives those herbs enough time to grow, these herbs are very old and very effective. Herbs that are 100 years old are not uncommon, and there are many herbs that are more than 500 years old, and even more than 1,000 years old can be found.
There is a valley rich in medicinal herbs, which is full of all kinds of medicinal herbs, such as the highly poisonous butterfly dream, the hallucinogenic fairy finger that smells it, and the thousand-year-old He Shou Wu that can make people's gray hair turn black and rejuvenate when eaten...... The whole nine yards!
If an experienced herb were to see it, he would faint with joy, because there was so much variety and age here. Take some out casually, and you can refine a very effective elixir. But unfortunately, there is no way for the medicine man to enter here, and the people who can come here will not be a medicine man, and they will not understand the value of these herbs, and will only treat them as weeds.
About two miles southeast of the nameless valley, a group of people was approaching the valley. The leader of the team was none other than a goatee and a chubby-faced old man.
With a gentle wave of his hand, a poisonous snake flew down from the air, and the goatee said to the fat-faced old man: "Senior Brother Ding, why did you say that we haven't found any strange beasts after walking for so long, there should be a lot of strange beasts here." ”
"I don't know. But judging from the passage that we just passed through that was violently knocked out by the beast, there should have been some changes here, I looked at the traces left behind, the footprints in it included the tenth-level fierce beast Giant Bear, the Ironback Ape and the Wind Wolf, and most importantly, there were also the footprints of the Blood Tiger and the Berserk Demon Bear. The fat-faced old man had a solemn expression on his face, and his tone was very serious.
"What, the Blood Tiger and the Raging Demon Bear?" exclaimed, Goatee.
"Not bad!" replied the fat-faced old man in the affirmative.
Goatee began to panic a little in his heart, although he was very dissatisfied with the fat-faced old man in his heart, and he was very jealous of him relying on some relatives with the head of the family, but he had to be convinced by his ability to distinguish the footprints of fierce beasts, which was also the reason why the fat-faced old man was able to be the person in charge of this mission.
Now that the fat-faced old man actually said that there was a blood tiger and a berserk demon bear here at the same time, the goatee had to be surprised.
The Blood Tiger doesn't matter, with the current strength of their team, they can definitely win, but if they face the Berserk Demon Bear, it is very dangerous, it is a third-level ancient beast, even if there is only one one, the entire team will not have much chance of winning, not to mention that the Berserk Demon Bear also has a large group of fierce beasts, plus the Blood Tiger, these forces together, it is definitely not something that they and others can compete with, and if they are not careful, the team will be wiped out.
I've been here before, but I've never met a third-level ancient beast, and the highest is only a second-level, but this time I met a third-level one, and my luck is really bad.
Goatee secretly complained in his heart, and said to the fat-faced old man, "Senior Brother Ding, what should we do now? If we encounter a berserk demon bear, we will be very dangerous." ”
Brushing aside a branch in front of him, the fat-faced old man said in a deep voice: "Now we can only improvise, see that we have taken one step at a time, and the task has not been completed, we can't go back here." ”
Feeling the unquestionable and categorical tone of the fat-faced old man's words, although the goatee did not agree with his approach in his heart, he could only smile dryly and close his mouth and continue to walk forward.
Suddenly, there was a scream from the front, a terrible cry far away, startling a group of birds nearby, and then there was a loud shout, and the sound of vigorous whistling also sounded.
The goatee and the fat-faced old man were startled, and looked at each other, something was wrong! The two of them immediately flew up and rushed in the direction from which the screams came.
Since the whole team of people added up to more than forty people, they marched forward in a row, the two goatees walked in the middle and back positions, and another middle-aged strong man of the first level walked in front, and the two were separated by about ten zhang, and the screams came from the front of the team.
Wait until the goatee and the chubby-faced old man come to the front of the line. I only saw a solemn look on the middle-aged strong man's face, with a trace of panic in his eyes, and on the ground, there was a bloody corpse lying there, and a big hole was opened in the chest of the corpse, and blood was gushing out of this hole. And the heart that was supposed to be in this position has disappeared.
The fat-faced old man asked the middle-aged strong man in a deep voice, "What happened?"
"Tell Uncle Shi, when we were exploring the path just now, a black shadow suddenly flashed next to us, and it dug out the heart of one of our children like lightning, and then flashed again, and disappeared with the heart, and I slapped it in the direction of its escape, but I couldn't cause any damage to it at all. It was so fast that from what had just happened, it was likely to be an Ancient Beast. The middle-aged man bowed and replied respectfully.
"Ancient Beasts, are you sure?" the fat-faced old man hurriedly asked. I walked for a long time and didn't meet a strange beast, and I was still talking about it just now, but I didn't think it would be long before the strange beast appeared.
"I'm not 100% sure, but judging by the speed and power of that black shadow. There should be a ninety percent chance of being a strange beast, Uncle Shi, you see. This dead disciple's martial arts have reached the realm of the Great Perfection of the Day After Tomorrow, and he has always been a protective body when exploring the path, beware of accidents, but under that black shadow, he was actually killed without the ability to resist, and the true qi of the body protection was like a paper tie. It didn't work as well as it should, and I can't think of any other beast that could do it other than a strange beast. The middle-aged strong man said his opinion, and in his words he was almost completely sure that the black shadow just now was a strange beast.
After listening to the judgment of the middle-aged strong man, the goatee and the fat-faced old man were both surprised and delighted.
Shockingly, a new beast has appeared. And I don't know what the strength is, but judging from the fact that it was able to retreat under the hands of a middle-aged strong man just now, and it can completely disappear in a short period of time, this strange beast is not simple, it is likely to be a second-level, or even third-level ancient beast, and it will also sneak attack, not the kind of strange beast that has been encountered before with a large group of fierce beasts attacking head-on, which will make himself and others more dangerous. Happily, the mission goal has appeared, and I finally have a chance to complete the mission.
Looking at the corpse, the goatee whispered to the fat-faced old man with a solemn face, "Senior Brother Ding, what now?"
Although Goatee usually looks down on the fat-faced old man, he can't wait for him to die early and return to heaven, stop pretending to be a good person in front of him, and be a prestige, but this time he sincerely asks for advice, at this critical juncture, only when everyone unites can he save his life and complete the task, and other things will be talked about later.
"Tell the team to gather together, work in groups of three, get closer to each other, and move slowly. The fat-faced old man thought for a while, and then gave the order.
After receiving the order, the team immediately gathered up, and the team members combined with each other, and soon there were three talent formations one by one.
The middle-aged strong man flew up, jumped on the big tree next to him, and searched down for traces of strange beasts, but unfortunately some of the weeds in the forest grew taller than people, and they were dense, and they couldn't see anything at all when they looked down from above, even if there were ten or eight strange beasts hidden in the grass, they didn't want to find out.
The fat-faced old man also asked someone to cut down some branches with the thickness of his arm's arms to make a long wooden stick, and there was one for each three-talent array, and then used the method of "beating the grass and startling the snake", one person held the wooden stick to the front, left and right sides to beat violently, hoping to attract or alarm the beast, and the other two were responsible for guarding, ready to deal with the accident at any time, as for the fat-faced old man and the goatee, they stood in the middle of the crowd, observing the movements around them, and once they found that the beast appeared, they immediately rushed to kill.
This method is actually to use those team members as bait, lure out the strange beasts, and then kill them by the fat-faced old man and the goatee, as long as the strange beasts appear, the sacrifice of those disciples is inevitable, it just depends on the number of sacrifices, as for which one is sacrificed, it depends on their luck.
The pace of the procession was slow, and it took two quarters of an hour to travel a short mile.
Although everyone tried to slap, they did not notice any movement, as if the strange beast had long since left, and there was no trace of it.
After two quarters of an hour of preoccupation on guard, everyone's spirits were a little tired, even the fat-faced old man and goatee felt a little depressed, and all they saw in front of them were the blue-green weeds of tall people, and above their heads, middle-aged strong men were moving back and forth between the trees. Carefully observe the situation on the ground. Unfortunately, nothing was found.
"Watch out on the left!" the middle-aged strong man standing on the tree and looking down suddenly shouted, and a gray shadow suddenly appeared around the group of people on the left at the same time.
The three people in that group were shocked when they heard the scream, and their true qi immediately lifted up, and their whole body strength surged, and the true qi of the body protection was raised to an unprecedented level, even the weeds around them. The energetic air that was released was forced out in all directions.
The gray shadow flickered, and it was already close to one of the team members. This team member's body protection true qi seems to be false, and it has no effect on the gray shadow, and the front paw of the gray shadow is easily fleshed in the left chest, and in a miserable scream, the heart is gouged out.
Gray Shadow threw his heart into his mouth, bit it a few times, and swallowed it, and at the same time. It flickered, and its other front paw was already reaching for the other member.
The team member's right fist blasted out, trying to blast away the outstretched claws, and the power of the peak of the day after tomorrow was like a flash flood, and in an instant, it collided directly with the front paws of the gray shadow. As soon as he made contact, the team's face changed drastically, because he found that he had been proud of the acquired peak skills. In front of this beast's claw, it was immediately scattered. And an extremely powerful force came, and the right fist immediately exploded into a rain of blood.
A scream just came out of the team's mouth, and the chest was already fleshed by the front paws of the gray shadow, and then it was pumped back, and the heart was pulled out of the body. The screams of the team members suddenly stopped, and their eyes widened. The body slammed backwards to the ground.
Gray Shadow attacked the third team member again, this team member was the person in his group who was holding a wooden stick to beat the weeds, seeing Gray Shadow flying out to kill, the wooden stick in his hand had already been thrown away, and he pulled out the long sword in his waist and waved. The same power of the peak of the day after tomorrow was injected into the stainless steel long sword, the sword body trembled slightly, a buzzing sound sounded, the tip of the sword was uncertain, and the sword qi on it was ready to attack, piercing the gray shadow.
With a wave of the gray shadow's front paws, the long sword had already flicked away, and with another swing, it swung out towards the team members, and after the sharp roar, several deep claw marks appeared on the front chest of the team members, and the chests were cut off by the sharp claws, and the blood gushed out like a fountain, and even the internal organs were exposed. A life was lost under the claws of the gray shadow.
Seeing that another group of team members was killed, the fat-faced old man was furious, shouted, his feet were on the ground, bursting out of the deep pit, and his body rushed up like lightning and flint, and the "Burning Sun Jue" was carried with all his strength, his palms were raised, and a faint red energy like a flame rising appeared around his palms, and he exploded towards the gray shadow.
The gray shadow flashed, reappeared, and had already avoided the attacking palm force and came to the left of the fat-faced old man.
The furious power emanated from the palms of the fat-faced old man, and the scorching heat caused the temperature around him to rise sharply, and it was as hot as if he had entered an oven within a radius of one zhang.
Where the palm force passed, the blue-green weeds first withered yellow, then turned black, and then were shaken into debris and flying ash, and finally, the palm force slammed into the ground, bursting out of a deep pit about one meter wide and two feet deep, and the soil and grass flew in all directions.
Feeling the power of the fat-faced old man, the gray shadow stopped, and finally revealed its true colors.
I saw a giant wolf with gray hair appear in front of everyone, there were three clear red marks on its forehead, each mark was about ten centimeters long, the three marks were separated at the top, and the ends of the bottom intersected at one point at the same time, a pair of blood-red eyes were formidable, the mouth was closed one by one, and the corners of the mouth were slowly dripping with blood.
The gray wolf hunched over, his lips curled, revealing his white and bloody teeth, and his eyes glared at the fat-faced old man, as if he wanted to eat him.
The goatee and the middle-aged strong man were stunned for a moment, and after they came to their senses, they were overjoyed, yes, the strength of the blood wolf after pregnancy has dropped by at least half, and the three of them should be able to suppress it, if you work harder, it is not impossible to capture it alive.
If you can capture it alive, it is really very lucky, you know, adult beasts cannot be tamed, whether it is by means of Huairou or force, it is not possible, they would rather die than submit to humans. The only way to gain the approval of the beast is to start raising it when it is born, to live with it, and gradually, the beast will accept the person who lives with it.
This method has been proven to be correct, once someone inadvertently saved a newborn beast, and took it back to raise, the beast did not hurt this person, but slowly accepted this person, and became this person's combat partner when he became an adult, but he has never heard of someone who can directly tame an adult beast, and there are many people who have tried, but without exception, they have failed, and some people have been torn to pieces by the crazy beast.
Therefore, taming an adult alien beast has become a joke, and no one will try it anymore.
Although everyone wants to find a baby beast to raise, unfortunately, the chances of this are very small. On the one hand, it is difficult to find, and on the other hand, even if it is found, it is impossible to grab it, and if the adult beast finds that it can no longer protect the hatchlings of the alien beast, it will even kill it with his own hands, and it will definitely not give humans a chance to capture them.
But today, they have such an opportunity, as long as they can capture this blood wolf alive, they can not only get a third-level inner pill (give birth to a small blood wolf and then kill the wolf to take the pill), but also get a small blood wolf, if they can raise an adult, it is equivalent to adding a congenital third-level master.
The most important thing is that it is a very face-saving and show-off thing to get such a pet and combat partner, and if their head can get this little blood wolf, he will definitely be overjoyed and appreciate them.
Thinking of this, Goatee no longer hesitated, his figure flashed, and he came to the side of the blood wolf, intercepting the blood wolf's back path. Although he was scolded by the fat-faced old man just now, it was insignificant compared to being able to catch a pregnant blood wolf alive, and there was no time to get angry, because the blood wolf could escape at any time.
Seeing someone coming behind him, the blood wolf moved on all fours, bounced up from the ground, and swept sideways.
Seeing that the blood wolf wanted to escape, the fat-faced old man who had been paying attention to it also flashed and flew to the blood wolf. When the person was in mid-air, his right hand stretched out, his fingers flexed into claws, and the faint fiery red energy like flames flowed and rose between his fingers, and then he grabbed it forward in the air.
The claw power containing strong power came to the front of the blood wolf in an instant, and if the blood wolf did not stop the momentum of its advance and still moved forward, the result would be a direct hit by the claw force.
With no choice, the blood wolf could only slam its front paws to the ground, using the force of this rebound to stop the momentum of its advance, and then turned around to think of another direction to rush.
When the claws slammed into the ground in front of the blood wolf, forming dirt and broken grass flying in all directions, the fat-faced old man had already come to the front of the blood wolf.
Seeing that the blood wolf wanted to run away again, the fat-faced old man shouted, flew up, and intercepted the blood wolf.
"The sun is rising!"
In the Scorching Sun Sect, only the masters of the innate realm can practice and use the first form of the peerless "Burning Sun Palm Technique" has been used in the hands of the fat-faced old man, and under the imperial hair of the "Burning Sun Technique", the power is even more amazing. (To be continued......)
