Chapter 195: A Mountain Without Vegetation
Tian Xiaoding flew along the coastline of the eastern part of the Burial Soul Mountain until he reached the middle of the north-south direction of the Burial Soul Mountain, and then stopped to rest.
Then he met an old man named Chu Changtai. Although this old man is already very old, his cultivation has only built three layers of foundation. With his current situation, it is obvious that if he doesn't encounter any great opportunities before his yang longevity is exhausted, if he wants to achieve positive results in this life, it will already be difficult to ascend to the sky.
When Chu Changtai came out of the Soul Burial Mountain, he was seriously injured, but thanks to Xiao Ding's timely rescue, he saved his life.
Hearing that Xiao Ding was going to look for the earth turtle, Chu Changtai said an important piece of information. He said that the turtle lived in the Zhaonu Mausoleum in the central area of the Burial Soul Mountain.
According to legend, there is a fairy buried in this Zhaonu Mausoleum who was degraded to the mortal world by the fairy world. She is already an immortal, and in the absence of external forces, she will not die naturally.
However, she ended up depressed. She already had a certain heart in her heart, and she didn't go to heal when she was sick.
Before she died, she prepared the cemetery for herself in advance and domesticated the turtle to guard her mausoleum.
The old man Chu Changtai just wanted to go to the Zhaonu Mausoleum to find some opportunity, but before he arrived, he met a high-level demon beast, and after a fight, he was seriously injured, but he was lucky enough to escape, and he happened to be met by Xiao Ding.
According to Chu Changtai, he lives all year round on an island called Tamamachi Island, which is not far from here. The reason why he came up with the idea of going to the Tomb of Akinu to find an opportunity was because he secretly overheard the talk of a group of pirates passing by the island of Tamamachi.
The group of pirates is also planning to go to the tomb of Zhao Nu to rob the tomb. They also said that there were many magic weapons and magic weapons used by the female fairy in the tomb of the Zhao Nu during her lifetime, and there may even be some elixirs that can improve her cultivation.
Such a big temptation made Chu Changtai couldn't help but take a risk, and went to the depths of the Soul Burial Mountain alone, planning to go to the tomb of Zhaonu to search around before the pirates robbed the tomb.
As a result, not only did he not even touch the edge of the Zhaonu Mausoleum, but he almost lost his life.
When Xiao Ding heard the news, he was shocked.
He thought to himself: If he hadn't saved this Chu Changtai tonight, wouldn't it be difficult for him to find the Earth Turtle even if he reached the middle of the Soul Burial Mountain?
If no one said anything about the Zhaonu Mausoleum, who would have thought that the earth turtle lived in the underground mausoleum?
Xiao Ding felt that he was both a little bitter and a little lucky.
The bitter thing is that he himself needs to run around, running around in the Soul Burial Mountain, facing all kinds of dangers, to get the five main medicinal materials of the Regeneration Pill; Fortunately, he has now obtained four of the five main medicines, and he is still short of one turtle, and now he knows the specific news.
It seems that if you run it tomorrow morning, you may have a chance to get your hands on the turtle.
Although Chu Changtai repeatedly dissuaded Xiao Ding from going to the Zhaonu Mausoleum, Xiao Ding himself had wandered alone in the Soul Burial Mountain, and he already had a bottom in his heart, but he didn't take Chu Changtai's words to heart.
He filled some of his own fish soup and handed it to Chu Changtai and asked him to eat some fish.
Chu Changtai is not polite, after all, his life was saved by Xiao Ding, and he already owes Xiao Ding a favor, so he is not bad for this bowl of fish soup.
The milky white fish soup is delicious. Because Xiao Ding often sleeps in the wild, he has already mastered a set of his own cooking skills without a teacher.
Practice makes sense, and his cooking skills are all accumulated in the process of practice.
Chu Changtai drank two bowls of fish soup in a row, and also ate a lot of fish meat by the way.
Fortunately, the creatures on Kunxing are very large this day, and even ordinary fish are several times larger than the same species of fish on the earth, so although Xiao Ding only caught one fish, it was enough for the two of them to eat very well.
After dinner, Xiao Ding took out an additional tent, and after it was set up, he let Chu Changtai live.
Chu Changtai is very grateful, calling Xiaoding, and he has also changed from the previous Tian Xiaoyou to Tian Lao's brother.
"Brother Tian, how many years older than you, if you don't mind, you can call me Brother Chu in the future, and you don't have to call me by my predecessors. Brother, you saved my life, if you need my brother's help in the future, just come to me. After Chu Changtai ate and drank enough, he didn't know how to thank Xiaoding.
Xiao Ding was also happy to see this old man, so he also said generously: "Since this is the case, then the little brother will take care of it and call the seniors the elder brother, if the little brother really encounters difficulties in the future, he will naturally go to Brother Chu for help." ”
The two chatted for a while after dinner, and Xiao Ding inquired about some things about the Zhaonu Mausoleum from the mouth of this Chu Changtai. It's a pity that this Chu Changtai actually doesn't know much, he repeats what he says, that is, just a little bit, but he didn't say much to dissuade Xiao Ding.
Xiao Ding didn't refute it face-to-face, but he didn't say it, and he didn't say no. Ambiguously perfunctory to him.
When the two talked about the second watch, Xiao Ding suggested that Chu Changtai was injured and asked him to rest early, which would be conducive to the recovery of the injury.
When Chu Changtai heard this, he felt that it made sense, after all, he was not young and had suffered such serious internal injuries. Although it has been repaired, the blood that has flowed out cannot be replenished in a short period of time. So you still need to rest more.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Xiao Ding stewed fish soup again and ate it for the two.
Then the two said goodbye to each other. Chu Changtai Edgeworth returned to his Mamachi Island and slowly cultivated. Xiao Ding packed up all his belongings and continued to drive Feiyun Suo to the depths of the Burial Soul Mountain to find the earth turtle in the Zhaonu Mausoleum.
This time, as Xiao Ding continued to go deeper, the demon beasts encountered on the road were not as simple as before.
After flying from east to west for four or five days, the fourth- and fifth-order demon beasts encountered on the way gradually increased.
Xiao Ding still follows his previous experience of crossing the Soul Burial Mountain, hiding if he can, running if he can, and trying to avoid confrontation with these demon beasts head-on.
Anyway, after his Feiyun Shuttle was rerefined, his speed was much faster than before, and the flight speed of ordinary demon beasts was difficult to catch.
For those demon beasts that really can't dodge, Xiao Ding either uses the Shadowless Ice Silkworm to sneak attack, or uses a large number of spirit runes to forcibly attack. Anyway, those who can be repelled are repelled, and those who can be killed are killed. If you can't repel and die, then take advantage of the moment of attack to delay time, and then quickly escape.
Xiao Ding knew that he only had the cultivation of the sixth level of Qi cultivation, and he would not be able to fight against those high-level demon beasts. If you fight head-on, then it will definitely be your own side that will suffer in the end.
After continuing to fly forward for eight or nine days, most of the demon beasts he encountered were already sixth- or seventh-order demon beasts.
The sixth-order demon beast is equivalent to the human monk Jindan stage, and the seventh-order demon beast is equivalent to the human monk Yuan Infant stage.
This kind of high-level demon beast before the transformation has not yet been psychic, and its primitive beast nature is still very strong. But some of them have even evolved more than one kind of natal skill, and when fighting, it is difficult to guard.
But Xiao Ding still focuses on avoiding and escaping these demon beasts, and he never provokes these demon beasts head-on.
Despite these high-level demon beasts, almost every one of them was guarding at least one spirit plant.
Moreover, the more high-level demon beasts are, the rarer the spirit plants they guard.
There are many spirit plants that Xiao Ding has never seen, and even so, Xiao Ding does not dare to covet these spirit plants.
After two or three days of moving forward, Xiao Ding could occasionally meet demon beasts or other spirits that had reached the transformation stage on the way.
The level at which a demon beast can transform is a ninth-order, and the same is true for other spirits.
Ninth-order demon beasts or spirits are equivalent to the condensation period of human monks. This is two great realm cultivation levels higher than that of Yuanying Monk, and its strength can be imagined.
Encountering this kind of powerful existence, Xiao Ding didn't even dare to get close.
Fortunately, he had taken the Heavenly Spirit Pill, and his divine consciousness range was much higher than that of other cultivators of the same cultivation. Therefore, he could detect whether there were high-level monsters or spirits on the road ahead as soon as possible at a long distance.
However, a wise man will also make a mistake if he thinks a thousand times. Xiao Ding moved forward cautiously and cautiously.
As a result, on this day, he was accidentally discovered by an eighth-order leopard demon.
The eighth-order demon beast is equivalent to the cultivation of the human void god stage, although it is not yet able to transform into a human form, but its demonic power and demonic skills are very powerful.
As soon as Xiao Ding saw that things were not good, he hurriedly drove Feiyun Suo to turn around and run.
It's a fool to fight such a high-level demon beast!
His secret weapon, the Shadowless Ice Silkworm, is actually not omnipotent.
Xiao Ding once experimented that using the Shadowless Ice Silkworm to attack demon beasts below the fourth order had an obvious effect, and he could freeze the opponent and let him slaughter it.
But when facing fifth- and sixth-order demon beasts, it is difficult for the Shadowless Ice Silkworm to completely freeze the opponent, and most of the time, it can only slow down the opponent's movements.
And when facing demon beasts above the seventh order, his Shadowless Ice Silkworm hardly plays a big role, after all, the level of the Shadowless Ice Silkworm is only two levels, and they can't freeze the monks or demon beasts with higher cultivation.
Therefore, after Xiao Ding saw this eighth-order leopard demon, he immediately drove Feiyun Shuo to run. And the eighth-order leopard demon chased after him closely.
Xiao Ding went in a big circle, and the direction of progress was still aiming due west.
In this way, even if he escapes, he will run away to the destination he wants.
The eighth-order leopard demon chased after Xiao Ding until it reached the edge of its territory, and then it stopped and stopped flying to chase after it.
But Xiao Ding was chased and fled in a hurry, embarrassed.
When he found that the leopard demon chasing after him stopped at some point, his hanging heart was relaxed.
Calculating the time in his heart, it seems that today is exactly half a month from the eastern coast to the Soul Burial Mountain, so where is the mountain that is full of grass and trees mentioned in Chu Changtai's mouth?
