Chapter 124: Cloud Mountains
Danxia Mountain is more than 5,000 miles away from the Cloud Mountain Range, which can be said to be out of reach in the eyes of ordinary people, but for the five Ye Tian people who have flying mounts, it is only a journey of two or three days. If it weren't for the fear that the mount would consume too much, or if it would be attacked by others halfway, the time to reach the Cloud Mountain Range would have been shortened by at least about 30%.
When the dusk of the next day came, a majestic mountain range had already appeared in Ye Tian's sight, and there was no need to ask others, Ye Tian also knew that it was the Cloud Mountain Range that had arrived.
The Cloud Mountains are one of the most mysterious mountains in the center of the Southern Regions. It winds for tens of thousands of miles, and the entire mountain range is shrouded in thick clouds and mist all year round, and the clouds and mist of the cloud and mist mountains have never diminished a point whether the weather is clear or rainy.
Not only that, the clouds and mist of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range also have the function of isolating the six senses, as long as you enter it, the six senses of the human body, such as eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, will be greatly reduced, and even the thoughts of the innate martial artists will be deeply affected, and the detection range is beyond the three zhang.
Moreover, there are still a large number of demon beasts living in the Cloud Mist Mountains, there are countless acquired demon beasts, countless innate demon beasts, and even the demon beasts of the Human Yuan Realm are not a few. However, legend has it that the Cloud Mist Mountain Range has an Earth Yuan Realm demon beast, but those rumors are not recognized by most people.
Half an hour after Ye Tian saw the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, the other four people also saw the Cloud Mist Mountain Range from afar, they didn't have the anti-heaven vision of Ye Tian's "Earth Pupil Technique", and their visibility was nearly half smaller than Ye Tian's.
When they arrived at the edge of the Cloud Mountains, the five of them ordered their respective mounts to fall, and no one dared to fly directly into the clouds and mist of the Cloud Mountains, and no one knew if there were powerful demon beasts hidden in the rolling clouds.
The five of them discussed it for a while and decided to leave the flying mount outside the Cloud Mountains, and the flying demon beasts that couldn't fly were also a burden to follow them. Fortunately, the mounts of the five people are all innate demon beasts, although they cannot be compared with the wild innate demon beasts, but they are not unable to survive in the wild, as long as they do not encounter other powerful innate flying demon beasts, or martial artists above the human yuan realm, their mounts will not be in any danger.
Ye Tian didn't include the Gray-headed Eagle in the Infinite World, rather than risking being discovered by the other four people, it was better to let it move freely in the outside world for a while, so as to restore the Gray-headed Eagle's spirituality and accumulate some strength for entering the Ten Thousand Clans Tower.
Due to the dangers of the Cloud Mountains, it is one of the areas rarely set foot by human warriors in the vicinity. The martial artists who dared to enter the Cloud Mist Mountain Range were either cultivators who were eager to break through, or greedy people who wanted to get rich overnight, and even some genius disciples in the Southern Regions Dan Alliance would not easily choose the Cloud Mist Mountain Range as the place for their training.
The five of them walked along the periphery of the clouds and mist for a while, and came to a mountain pass filled with clouds and mist, Sha Daoru took out a map like a trick, compared it with the surrounding mountains, and nodded: "Well, it should be here." ”
After speaking, he looked up at the other four people, put away the map unhurriedly, and then said with a smile: "This is part of the map of the Cloud Mountain Range, which I bought at a great price in the sect, it should be of some use, so I will guide you the way, what do you think?"
When the other four heard this, they first looked at each other for a moment, and then quickly nodded yes, and no one objected to Sha Daoru's suggestion. However, Ye Tian vaguely sensed that the eyes of the other three people flickered imperceptibly, and it seemed that his vigilance against Sha Daoru had deepened a little.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Sha Daoru took the lead in entering the cloud-shrouded area, and the other four hesitated for a moment, and then they all entered the cloudy mountain range.
As soon as he entered the clouds, Ye Tian felt that his six senses suddenly seemed to be blocked, and his vision could only see two or three hundred meters away, which was also because he had the "Earth Pupil Technique", his hearing dropped even more, and he couldn't hear the movements ten meters away. From the stunned expressions on the faces of the rest of the people, it could be seen that their six senses seemed to be more affected than themselves.
Once a martial artist enters the innate realm, the role of the five senses such as eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body will be greatly reduced, and as long as they use their minds to probe, they will be able to perceive everything within a certain range of their body. Although it is not as clear as hearing and seeing, it is not easy to be blinded by the blinding method, so ordinary innate realm martial artists will replace the function of their eyes with their minds.
However, the clouds and mist of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range had the function of isolating thoughts, so it was easy for a martial artist of the Innate Realm to set foot within the range of the clouds and mist. As soon as Ye Tian entered the clouds and mist, he immediately felt the serious impact on his thoughts, and his thoughts, which were almost equivalent to those of a human yuan realm martial artist, could only stretch within a hundred meters of his body, and the consumption of his thoughts also increased exponentially.
With this discovery, Ye Tian was not surprised, in such an environment, his soul was strong and he undoubtedly had a greater advantage, if there was no martial artist from the Human Yuan Realm to make a move, even if a martial artist from the late stage of the Innate Realm came, it would be difficult to kill Ye Tian.
If you can't beat it, Ye Tian will escape into the clouds and mist, and the range of the general innate martial artist's mind sense is not beyond Ye Tian, as long as you are careful not to enter the area that the enemy's mind can perceive, you will definitely not be discovered by the enemy.
After Ye Tian and the five of them entered the Cloud Mountain Range, they formed a sagittal queue of one, two, two, two, with Sha Daoru taking the lead in leading the way, the curly-haired Haibin and the charming woman Ren Juanjuan in the middle, and the cold queen Yan and Ye Tian behind, groping their way along a sheep intestine path and moving slowly.
As the five of them continued to deepen, Ye Tian found that the influence of his six senses was getting bigger and bigger, and the range of his mind sensing was gradually narrowing, and when his thoughts were going out, his spiritual consumption also increased rapidly.
"How did the clouds and mist form here? How could they be so weird? Even my thoughts were almost useless!" the charming woman Ren Juanjuan seemed to lose her breath at first, and raised the question in her heart to Sha Daoru, who was leading the way.
Without waiting for Sha Daoru to answer, the curly-haired Haibin beside Ren Juanjuan preemptively replied: "Legend has it that the history of this Cloud Mist Mountain Range is longer than that of Danxia Mountain, and it is said that it is the location of an ancient powerful cave, and the clouds and mist here are all transformed by the formation that guarded the cave at the beginning. With the passage of time, the formation lost its original function, and only these simple abilities remained today. ”
Ye Tian was born in a remote place in Nanban Prefecture, and it was even more distant from the Cloud Mist Mountains, this was the first time he had heard of this legend of the Cloud Mist Mountains, and his eyes couldn't help but light up slightly, and he looked at the clouds and mist around him thoughtfully.
Obviously, Ren Juanjuan is also unaware of the legend of the Cloud Mountains, and her account of the seaside seems to be full of novelty. Curious and baby-like, she asks questions like an innocent girl.
Haibin saw that he finally had the opportunity to perform in front of beautiful women, so he naturally wouldn't miss it easily, as long as everything he knew, he told Ren Juanjuan everything clearly, and there seemed to be no reservations. Although he later felt that he seemed to have said a little too much, but when he saw Ren Juanjuan's adoring eyes, the trace of worry in his heart became gone.
Ye Tian smiled secretly in his heart, this curly-haired Haibin had cultivated to the eighth level of the Innate Realm at a young age, so naturally he would not be a fool, but he was still coaxed by Ren Juanjuan, which showed that his EQ was definitely pitiful.
Sha Daoru in front didn't seem to notice the conversation between the two behind him at all, and was still engrossed in his task of leading the way. With a sharp knife in his hand, he cut a passage through some of the bushes and vines that were blocking the way, so that the few people behind him could pass through smoothly.
At this moment, Ye Tian's pupils contracted slightly, and just on the way the five of them were about to pass, an innate demon beast covered with pimples was lurking aside, it was motionless, waiting for an opportunity to wait, and the five people entered its ambush range. However, the other four didn't notice this pimple demon beast at all, and the area covered by their minds was really limited.
According to everyone's reactions, Ye Tian roughly judged the range of the other four people's thoughts, among them, the strongest Sha Daoru was no more than ten meters, and the weakest Wang Yan was only five or six meters. And Ye Tian's range of thoughts here was about 100 meters away, more than ten times that of the other four.
The distance from which the pimple demon beast in front of him was preparing to ambush a few people was very ingenious, and it was exactly about ten meters away from the advance passage of the five people, which means that whether to ambush or not was completely in the hands of the pimple demon beast, as long as he felt the strength of a few people, he would quietly retreat, and he would definitely not fight hard with the five people.
Ye Tian didn't know how this pimple demon beast knew that several people would take that route, and he didn't know if its mind had surpassed the other four, but Ye Tian didn't want this demon beast to hurt his team, no matter how deep the scheming of several people was, reducing one person would affect the survivability of his team, and Ye Tian's danger in the Cloud Mountain Range would increase accordingly.
Time does not allow Ye Tian to think too much, and on the premise of not revealing his strong mind, Ye Tian cannot easily kill this pimple demon beast. So, Ye Tian condensed his thoughts into bundles and turned them into an invisible needle and stabbed towards the pimple demon beast.
Ye Tian didn't use all his strength in this blow, he didn't know how far this demon beast's mind had reached, if he shot with all his might without knowing the opponent, once the pimple demon beast's mind far surpassed his own, he would suffer a serious mental backlash, at least his soul would be injured, or at worst he would become an idiot, and even his soul would collapse and die.
However, Ye Tian didn't expect that his tentative attack was greatly unexpected, and the pimple demon beast not only did not launch a counterattack, but also did not even use his mind to resist. He let out a terrible scream, and fled in panic into the depths of the clouds.
