Chapter 39: The White Mist on the Waterhole
Before the Tian Yuan Dynasty ordered the banning of all martial arts sects in the dynasty, there was a transcendent martial arts sect in Xichuan Province, and this martial arts sect was the Shadow Sword Sect.
Although the Shadow Sword Sect is not as good as the super-first-class sects of the Tianyuan Dynasty such as the Liangyi Divine Sect and the Tianlong Temple, it is also a prestigious ancient sect on the Middle-earth Continent, and the most powerful Shadowless Sword Sect is a secret coveted by tens of millions of warriors.
According to the Black Dragon Chronicle, when the Shadow Knife Gate was destroyed, although many treasures were taken away by the Tian Yuan Dynasty, there were still a lot of cheats and treasures that fell into the Black Dragon Mountain Range. And the location of that treasure is near Xiqing Town.
When Zhou Yun came to Xiqing Town, he had already felt that there were many adventurous martial artists here, except for those fixed adventurous martial artist groups based in Xiqing Town, the others were probably some people who tried to get the treasure of the Shadow Sword Gate.
According to legend, the treasure of the Shadow Knife Gate is huge, not only with all kinds of powerful sword scripture cheats, but also with a large number of divine weapons, finished pills and prescriptions.
According to the records of the Black Dragon Chronicle, there are always some warriors who can get some unexpected gains in this area, and as the years go by, there are more and more adventurous warriors who want to get some benefits here.
Feeling the chaos outside, Zhou Yun thought silently, "Although I now have the cheats for practicing bones and tendons, but they are all boxing, and there is no strong sword cheats, it is still not possible to use weapons on the battlefield, this secret treasure of the Shadow Knife Gate, I should also go to see it, maybe if I am lucky, I can get one or two good cheats." ”
Thinking of this, Zhou Yun didn't have the heart to continue eating, hurriedly packed up his things, and bought some dry food and fresh water from the inn Xiaoer to bring with him, and Zhou Yun went out of the inn directly.
At this moment, Xiqing Town is completely different from when Zhou Yun first came, and all the people are like ants who have learned that the rain is coming, and they are all moving. Not only some adventurer teams, but even some aborigines in Xiqing Town had already grabbed their weapons and rushed towards the direction of the Black Dragon Mountain Range.
From a distance, in the depths of the Black Dragon Mountain Range at the far end, a thick white mist had risen up at some point, looking extremely mysterious.
The white mist was extremely wide, and the height of the rise was very high, it seemed that it was not far away from a distance, but Zhou Yun knew that the area where the white mist was located was probably already deep into the middle of the Black Dragon Mountain Range.
"It seems that this treasure is not easy to take, such a deep place, if you really go in, not to mention some of the mechanisms that protect the treasure, just those terrifying beasts are definitely not easy to deal with. Looking at the area where the mist was located, Zhou Yun thought for a moment, and thought silently in his heart.
In the middle of the Black Dragon Mountain Range, some third-level or even fourth-level fierce beasts have already appeared. This is equivalent to the cultivation of tendons among human warriors, and even the cultivation of blood exchange. In addition, the combat power of the fierce beast is already stronger than that of humans, with the current strength of Zhou Yun, when he encounters a fierce beast of that level, I am afraid that he will be killed in one face.
"You must not approach rashly, it is better to go over and have a look first, if you have the opportunity, you can find one or two treasures, if you don't have the opportunity, you can't force your way in. After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yun already had a plan in his heart.
Following at the end of the flow of people, Zhou Yun slowly walked in the direction of the mist.
There were many warriors who followed the mist to the Black Dragon Mountain Range, some in groups of three or five, some in teams of more than a dozen people, and of course, there was no shortage of single warriors like Zhou Yun. Along the way, all the people hardly talked to each other, and all of them looked guarded, always on guard against the people around them.
Mixed in the crowd, Zhou Yun also slowly approached the Black Dragon Mountain Range in a low-key manner, at this time Zhou Yun was not in a hurry to part with the others, after all, there are many martial arts squads here, and these martial arts squads are afraid of each other, and no one will openly make a move.
But if Zhou Yun broke away from the flow of people by himself, he would probably be followed by some ill-intentioned warrior squads, and only when he entered the dense forest under the Black Dragon Mountain Range could he find an opportunity to quietly break away from the large army.
Following the large army into the dense forest under the Black Dragon Mountain Range, Zhou Yun immediately found an opportunity to separate himself from the rest of the martial arts team.
When entering the dense forest, it is best to act alone, otherwise even if you encounter any treasures, Zhou Yun will not be able to take advantage of the robbery.
After more than ten days of cultivation in that mysterious small space, plus the cultivation of the Crazy Bear Fist, Zhou Yun's cultivation is now close to the middle stage of bone training, and this kind of cultivation is already a master above the middle level in the general adventurous martial arts team.
With this cultivation, Zhou Yun dared to enter the Black Dragon Mountain Range to hunt for treasure, without this cultivation, it would not be so easy to come to this place, let alone hunt for treasure, and save his little life.
Walking in the dense forest without hurrying, three hours passed, and Zhou Yun also arrived at the center of the dense forest at the foot of the Black Dragon Mountain Range, this area is not the real Black Dragon Mountain Range, only the forest area along the Black Dragon Mountain Range, but this area has begun to be infested with first-level fierce beasts in the realm of skin training.
Quickly climbing a big tree, Zhou Yun looked at the Black Dragon Mountain Range from afar.
The location of the Black Dragon Mountain Range at the far end of the mountain still looks far away, and in this position, compared to the city, it is only a little closer.
His brows furrowed slightly, and Zhou Yun thought in his heart, "Sure enough, as I thought, the foggy place is at least five or six days away from here, the Black Dragon Mountain Range is not so easy to climb, thinking of the location of the middle of the mountain, if you don't meet a high-level fierce beast, it's okay, once a fierce beast in the realm of refining dirt and exchanging blood appears, I'm afraid that dozens of martial artists who practice muscles and bones will have to explain where they are." ”
"It's better to find a place to practice nearby, this treasure is really not so easy to take. Thinking about it a little, Zhou Yun has already made a decision in his heart, now that the mist has just risen, and now the people who come are all adventurous martial artist teams that happen to be in Xiqing Town, although there are some masters in these teams, but in the end it is still not enough to see.
Zhou Yun believes that at this time, I am afraid that the news of the vision in Xiqing Town has spread like snowflakes, and I am afraid that in the future, there will be countless strong martial arts teams coming one after another.
First find a secret place here to practice, and after working hard to cultivate the Crazy Bear Fist, let the cultivation reach the middle stage of the bone training, and then study the pneumatic steps obtained from the Qingliu Gongzi to enhance the actual combat ability, and wait until seven days later, after following the large army into the mountain, it should be much safer at that time.
Having already made plans, Zhou Yun immediately wanted to get down from the tree and find a safe place. At this time, a white mist at the far end suddenly attracted Zhou Yun's attention.
"Hmm, why is there a white mist in this place? Could it be a scattered treasure hiding place?" The address where the white mist was located was not far from Zhou Yun, only three or four hundred meters, and the location was far away from the road when many martial artists entered the mountain.
The white mist was exactly the same color as the mist on the middle of the mountain, and seeing the mist, Zhou Yun's heart immediately floated with a trace of joy.
"Anyway, let's go over and see what I'm saying. ”
Just do it, Zhou Yun looked at it again and confirmed the direction, and then quickly came down from the big tree and began to approach the mist.
After quietly walking forward for about a cup of tea, Zhou Yun finally saw the mist.
It was a small waterhole about five meters in circumference, and behind the waterhole were several large rocks, and the mist was floating from the pool.
"This waterhole...... Something strange. After a glance from a distance, Zhou Yun immediately fell to a slight unusual place, the position of several stones around the waterhole gave Zhou Yun an indescribable strange feeling, and the trees around the waterhole were also extremely dense and difficult to pass.
If you want to get close to the waterhole, you have to find a way through the dense bush.
"It seems that we can only climb to a high place to see, whether there is a road or not, you can know it from mid-air. Realizing that this misty waterhole was probably also a treasure hiding place in the Shadow Knife Gate, Zhou Yun already had to go, and after thinking about it a little, Zhou Yun had already thought of a way.
Looking around, Zhou Yun immediately found a thick tree with a height of more than 20 meters, put the three-forged steel knife in his hand on his back, Zhou Yun spit into the palm of his hand, and turned to climb the big tree quickly.
It was only after climbing to seventeen or eighteen meters, close to the top of the big tree, that Zhou Yun looked back, and under this position, everything around the waterhole below had clearly entered Zhou Yun's line of sight.
"Well, the road ahead is impassable, it's all thorny bushes, and only a passage at the back can get close to the edge of the pool. After looking condescendingly for a moment, Zhou Yun immediately found a way to approach the mist-covered waterhole.
With the path in mind, Zhou Yun retreated from the big tree and began to follow the path he was optimistic about to the back of the waterhole, and then followed a narrow and difficult path to the waterhole.
The area of this waterhole was slightly larger than Zhou Yun expected, and from a distance, it was only a five-meter radius, but up close, it was twice as large. A thick white mist floated above the waterhole, and the perimeter of the waterhole was full of dense thorns, and the waterhole had only one entrance, just in front of Zhou Yun.
Walking over slowly, Zhou Yun carefully squatted down after confirming that there were no qi and blood fluctuations around him, carefully observing the waterhole in front of him.
The water in the pool is very clear, but for some reason, I try to see the bottom of the pool, but I can't do it.
"Is it just an ordinary pool? But why can't you see the bottom of the pool with such clear water?" Standing on the edge of the pool, Zhou Yun observed silently, and there was a different kind of vigilance in his heart.
Although this waterhole looked calm, it gave Zhou Yun a very dangerous feeling, as if there was something terrifying in it.
After cultivating Tiger Fist for a long time, coupled with the fact that his cultivation is getting higher and higher, Zhou Yun's body already has a keen sense of sensitivity, and when some potential dangers are approaching, Zhou Yun can always catch them quickly.
And this waterhole in front of him gave Zhou Yun a sense of danger.
The fog here is exactly the same color as the fog in the middle of the Black Dragon Mountain Range, and it should be a scattered treasure spot in the Shadow Knife Gate. But there is not a single special mark around, and if there is a treasure, where will it be hidden?
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yun stretched out his hand slightly, and a silver ingot of ten taels was immediately taken out of the ring and came to Zhou Yun's hand.
Silently feeling the weight of the silver ingot, Zhou Yun directly threw the silver in his hand into the waterhole in front of him.
Concentrate on following the path of the silver ingot's descent, and suddenly, a slight impact sound was heard, and the silver ingot also stopped sinking.
"There's something down there!" Seeing the trajectory of the silver ingot's whereabouts, Zhou Yun's eyes immediately lit up.
