Chapter 255: Mysterious Attacker
In the past few days, Zhu Yi and the others have been getting closer and closer to the Ice Ling Snow Field, and everyone has also encountered a lot of cultivators in the process of hurrying, and they have learned more about Yizhongtian.
At present, no one can say that they fully understand the One Heavy Heaven, and they may not even know how big the One Heavy Heaven is, whether it is round or square. However, when there are more people encountered, everyone can use the information they know to exchange with each other, and it is easy to get a general idea of Ichijutian.
No one knows how big the First Heavy Heaven is for the time being, but Zhu Yi can roughly know that his Yanwang Mountain is located in the eastern boundary of the First Heavy Heaven, and the Bing Ling Xue principle is in the northern boundary. In the central area of Ichijuten, there is a large basin, and on the west side of the basin is a plain, and further west is a plateau.
As for the south, according to everyone's information so far, it is a huge swamp, and there are all kinds of poisonous insects and beasts in it, and no one wants to go to the south at all.
Those cultivators who fell into the southern swamp and failed to get out in time had already died in it. In addition to poisonous insects and beasts, the miasma that was full of poison and could penetrate the body-protecting aura was also the culprit that killed these cultivators.
Therefore, when they knew that the Ice Ling Grass had appeared in the Ice Ling Snow Field in the north, the vast majority of cultivators were also relieved. Although the icy and snowy environment of the Ice Ridge Snow Field is relatively harsh, it is much better than the swampy areas in the south.
"Brother Zhu, there are still less than a thousand miles to go, and you can reach the Bingling Snow Field. When the time comes, how about everyone join forces, get that ice grass in their hands, and then compete for the first place to enter the Second Heaven?"
A beautiful young man with bright teeth and bright eyes rested against a big tree, surrounded by five or six companions, and opposite them, sitting cross-legged were Zhu Yi and the others.
This young man's name is Mingyu, and he was met by Zhu Yi and others in this forest, when both sides were surrounded by a group of poisonous flame tigers, and the two sides joined forces to escape from the pursuit of the group of poisonous flame tigers.
Mingyu and several others are all from the Dragon Teng Continent, and the cultivators there are cultivating very strangely, and they can actually turn into spirit beasts. According to Mingyu, they will go through a process called beastification since they were young, that is, absorb the spirit core of the spirit beast, and then fuse with it to carry out beastization, and if they can succeed, they can officially start cultivating.
The advantage of their cultivation method is that as long as the fusion is successful, their strength will be able to directly soar to the level of a fourth-level spirit beast, which is equivalent to the level of a Cailing Emissary. But the flaw is also very obvious, that is, it is very limited by the level of the spirit beast fused, generally speaking, when cultivating to the level of the spirit beast itself, there is no way to move forward, unless you can make a breakthrough evolution of the spirit core in your body, it is possible to go further.
However, I have to admit that this cultivation method has also brought them a lot of benefits, such as this young man named Mingyu, the fused spirit beast is the fastest of the flying spirit beasts, the Splitting Wind Double-Headed Vulture, although he is only the strength of the eighth level of the Berserker, but he can already rely on the Splitting Wind Double-Headed Vulture to the natural control of the wind aura, and soar freely in the sky.
And according to him, he can get faster if he spreads his wings.
Under the realm of the Martial Saint, if you can master the skills of flying, it can be said that you have a great advantage. Even if others can temporarily use the aura in their bodies to temporarily volley into the void, their flexibility and continuity are greatly reduced, if Mingyu encounters a powerful enemy, he only needs to fly to at least ensure his own safety.
Of course, in the face of spirit beasts, this trick may not work. These spirit beasts that survive in the nature of the cultivation world, after the survival of the fittest, even some spirit beasts on land can fight and kill the flying spirit beasts in the sky.
"Brother Mingyu, let's wait until I see Bingling Grass, it's not necessarily too early to talk about joining forces now. Zhu Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, although this Mingyu looked very sunny on the surface and had a bit of Tang Lianyue's taste, but I don't know why, Zhu Yi always felt that the other party gave him a very uncomfortable feeling.
It's like a poisonous snake staring at him all the time, at this time Mingyu proposed to join forces to find the ice grass, but Zhu Yi politely refused, he didn't want to cooperate with such a person.
It was a helpless move to deal with the Poisonous Flame Tiger before, in that case, if everyone didn't join forces, even if Zhu Yi could deal with so many Poisonous Flame Tigers, I am afraid he would have to pay a lot of price.
And it's still a thousand miles away from the ice and snow fields, and no one knows who else will meet in the middle and what will happen. This kind of thing is an alliance, Zhu Yi will not do it at least now.
Hearing Zhu Yi's rejection, a light flashed in Mingyu's eyes, but he pretended to be casual and said, "Since that's the case, let's talk about it then." ”
This forest is very large, and Zhu Yi and the others didn't go out for a few days, but they encountered a lot of spirit beasts. Fortunately, the strength of these spirit beasts is not too strong, and they can handle it by themselves and others.
However, along the way, strange cultivators appeared more and more frequently, and everyone was separated by a certain distance, and there was no conflict for the time being. I'm afraid that everyone is holding on to the ice and snow field to vent, at least until the ice grass is discovered, there is no need to do anything with anyone.
A few days later, a scream erupted from a place not far in front of Zhu Yi and the others, making everyone a little creepy.
"What's going on?" Zhu Yi looked at Mingyu, these people from the Dragon Teng Continent have the ability to transform into beasts, and the six senses are much stronger than ordinary people, and many voices are not heard by themselves, but Mingyu and the others can hear them clearly.
"It doesn't seem that I have encountered a spirit beast, could it be that there is a conflict between cultivators?" a young man named Lingxi frowned, he fused the spirit core of a six-eared macaque, and his hearing was excellent, he could hear sounds far away and be able to isolate the details in them.
"Then we need to be careful, that direction seems to be the direction we want to go in the same direction. ”
The closer they got to the Ice Snowfield, the clearer the direction became, and Zhu Yi and the others knew that as long as they traveled a few hundred miles to the northwest, they would be able to see the Ice Snowfield, and the weather here would become colder and colder. And the scream just now also came from the northwest direction.
"Hmm. Everyone be careful. Mingyu also said to his own people.
Originally, Zhu Yi and the others were on the march at this time, and the place where the incident occurred was not far from them, and soon they saw scenes of disgusting tragedy.
"Vomit...... How could this be?" Feng Wan and Frost Ling both frowned, hiding their figures behind Zhu Yi. The two of them have seen the wind and the Lang, but in the face of everything in front of them, they still feel a little unacceptable.
It was a team of cultivators of more than ten people, and it should have come together temporarily with Zhu Yi and the others. But now these people were charred, and they couldn't see their faces at all.
What's even more disgusting is that I don't know if the killer intentionally or why, although the skin of these people is burned, the corpses remain intact, and the intact corpses and the burnt skin form a strong contrast, making it impossible to look directly.
"Strange, there's no sign of a fight here. Lin Yong's voice suddenly sounded, he circled around, and then returned to Zhu Yi's side and said softly.
"There are no traces of a fight?" Zhu Yi also frowned, these people have been made like this, how can there be no traces of a fight? It is impossible to say that these guys all burned themselves to death by playing with fire, right?
If it was an ordinary flame, even if these cultivators were put on their bodies, at most they would be burned, and it would be impossible to be burned to death at all. As long as luck protects the body aura, an ordinary flame placed on the body is at most just for warmth.
"There really wasn't any sign of a fight, just a few marks left by the rolling, which should have been someone trying to extinguish the flames on their body. Some of Mingyu's group were proficient in tracking, and after carefully investigating, they also agreed with Lin Yong's statement.
"That's weird. "None of the people present figured out what was going on.
"Unless someone's strength is so strong that these people have no way to fight back, they have already been killed, and this person has to be a powerful fire cultivator. Zhu Yi groaned for a while and said softly. But immediately he denied his inference, because if he wanted to kill so many people in an instant, he was afraid that the strength of the martial saint would not be able to do it.
And how could a Martial Saint or a Martial Immortal appear in this world?
Zhu Yidu was even guessing whether it would be light or dark, but he vaguely felt that he had guessed the wrong direction. Just like darkness, although they are two completely different schools of thought from light, the other party's self-esteem is extremely heavy, and I'm afraid they don't bother to do this kind of thing at all.
"I can't guess, everyone cheers up, and if you meet a stranger, you have to be careful. Maybe someone took advantage of them to let down their guard and then did it. Mingyu said to his own people, and glanced at Zhu Yi at the same time.
"Mingyu is right, from now on, don't talk to any strangers. Zhu Yi also nodded, looked at Feng Wan and the others, especially the three brothers of the Zou family, and said.
"We know. Although the three brothers of the Zou family are usually stupid, they have an amazing talent in combat intuition, and when they heard Zhu Yi say this, they immediately nodded.
On the next journey, Zhu Yi and the others were even more frightened, because they found at least three or four such tragedies. It was all cultivators who were burned to charcoal, but no trace was found, as if these cultivators were burning themselves and waiting for death. But the marks of struggle on the ground proved that this was impossible.
But after a few more days, Zhu Yi and others found new victims, this time these people were not burned to death, but the whole person was torn apart, and there was no trace of a fight at the scene as before. But this time, Lin Yong and Lingxi found a clue, that is, the victim's split limbs seemed to have traces of being fiercely held by the palm.
"It's not the same as before. Zhu Yi frowned, the way these people died was completely different from the previous batches of people, it looked like two kinds of people did it.
