Volume 5: The First Song Four Hundred and Fifty: The Thousand Needle Pine Forest (18)
Then, far away from the depths of the forest in the north of the mountain peak, there was a cry of the same baby, Qian Chao could hear it clearly even if he covered his ears with both hands, the baby-like cry was powerless this time, but the sound was loud and ugly, but Qian Chao in pain still heard a little unwillingness and stupidity from it.
Next, I saw that the bird was very proud in a vertical circle in the air and at the same time there was a scream, and then in the stunned eyes of Qian Chao, I saw that the huge number of birds actually plunged straight down from the air into the pine forest below, and there was no sound, it disappeared into the pine forest all of a sudden, just like the osprey that got into the water all of a sudden, but there was not even a splash.
Qian Chao immediately understood what was happening, the place where the bird rushed down was the ravine, it was the ravine that Ah Jiu said had spiritual spring water, seeing this scene, Qian Chao realized what the bird was doing.
It went to drink, and it was the spiritual spring.
It should be like this, these two powerful guys, an arrow, a bird, have been fighting each other in this thousand-needle pine forest for I don't know how long, and they are helpless to take each other, but they are both greedy for this spiritual spring water, so they have reached a delicate balance or a compromise, Qian Chao doesn't know how they distribute this spiritual spring water, maybe it's first-come, first-served, maybe it's these two powerful guys who divide this spiritual spring water, but anyway, because these two guys often visit here, Therefore, no demon beast dares to build a nest here near this peak, and to build a nest here is to find death, it must be so!
When the waiting bird flew out, there was a "click" sound of pine trees folding backwards from the north side of this peak, Qian Chao's discomfort at this time had been slightly relieved, he raised his eyes to look in the direction where the sound came from, and only saw a black and white hard thorn on the top of the forest sea slowly walking towards the peak.
It was the real arrow, together with the bird that entered the ravine, the aura power emitted from their bodies was by no means comparable to that of ordinary demon beasts, and it was very similar to the aura on Ah Jiu's body.
Yesterday, the guy who looked like a black dog had transformed into an arrow, and I have to say that the guy's illusion technique was very clever, and the real arrow that I saw today was no different from what I saw yesterday.
About a cup of tea later, the sound of wings fluttering seemed to come from the ground, and then I saw an emerald green figure break through the forest sea and fly directly into the air, the sound of the chirping bird circled around the mountain peak twice, Qian Chao saw the arrow that was rushing to stop immediately, the black and white hard thorns above the forest sea were erected and pointed into the air, as if to guard against the sneak attack of the bird and seemed to warn the bird not to act rashly.
Sure enough, after two circles in the air, the bird chirped a few more times, and then flew directly towards the south of the thousand-needle pine forest, and soon disappeared.
When the bird flew away, the arrow began to move forward again.
In the whole process, Qian Chao has been performing his own subtle techniques, and has not been discovered, in addition to the brain is still a little dizzy when the arrow crawls over, the pain on Qian Chao's body is basically gone, he mustered up the courage, quietly approached the arrow from the air, and looked down from above, sure enough, this big guy is almost exactly the same as the one he saw yesterday, but the size is larger, and the arrow is next to the deep ravine and climbs straight down with all four paws, presumably there is spiritual spring water below for it to drink.
Jianbi stayed a little longer underneath, but it was about a long time later, and with the sound of stones falling from the deep ravine, the huge Jianbi crawled out from below, and then slowly returned basically the same way.
After Jianyu also left, the place was basically calm again.
……
After this toss, it was already close to evening, and then it was time for Qian Chao to go to the spiritual spring water to take a look, he expected that these two powerful guys would not destroy the spiritual spring, after all, there would be no spiritual spring water to drink after it was destroyed, so even if the spiritual spring water there was drunk, the spiritual spring was still there.
This deep ravine was originally not easy to be found if it was put down from above, covered by trees, but the number of the bird went first, and then there was the arrow, and now the deep crack in the ground can be directly seen from above, with the downward shape of Qian Chao, he found that this ravine stretches out for a long distance, and this ravine is still very wide, only a dozen zhang look, so the bird dares to dive down directly from it.
After entering it, Qian Chao found that this place is like a canyon at the foot of the mountain, almost invisible to the bottom, the stone walls on both sides are almost straight up and down, at the beginning of the entry, there are strange trees on the stone walls on both sides twisted and growing there, continue to go down into the ravine, there is no more, only hard rock formations, but there are extremely deep paw prints left on the rock layers, which are left by the arrows when they climb in and out, the more down, the more dim the light, and Qian Chao also noticed that the further down the surrounding began to get colder, However, the aura is getting more and more intense, and in the process of falling, Qian Chao also found a few conspicuous mineral veins on the stone walls on both sides, which are all good things in his eyes, thanks to the fact that this is the drinking place of two powerful demon beasts, otherwise there will definitely be demon beasts living here, so Qian Chao will have some trouble finding this spiritual spring water.
The bottom of the ravine was scattered with many stones, and it was fairly flat, but because it was deep underground, it was dark, and Qian Chao walked forward for a while before finding a hole.
The entrance of the cave is very large, there are still paw prints left in front of the hole, Qian Chao looked inside the entrance of the cave and found that the cave is not deep, less than two zhang away is a small pool, the rich aura is emitted from here, in this place Qian Chao feels that there is an indescribable use, only the bottom of the pool is still not much spiritual spring water, think about the beginning of the pool should be full, now the spiritual spring water in this pool has been drunk by two powerful demon beasts, there is a hanging stalactite above, Drops of clear, glittering spring water drip from the end of the stalactites into the pool.
Seeing this, Qian Chao understood, Jian Yu and the number of Xiao Bird must know how long it will take for this pool to be filled with spiritual spring water, and then they will come here to drink, Qian Chao didn't know how the two guys distributed this spiritual spring water, looking at the previous Jian Yi crawled in hard, presumably the Xiao Bird did not drink all the spiritual spring water here, it should have left a part for it, which is probably a tacit understanding between these two powerful demon beasts.
When Qian Chao was thinking about this, the sound of falling water reminded him, and he quickly took out the small-mouthed jar that Tang Ping handed over to him and placed it against the dripping spring water, and used this thing to pick up the dripping spiritual spring above.
Do this, Qian Chao walked out of this cave, and searched at the bottom of this ravine, not far from the cave with spiritual spring water, there is a larger cave, it should be a huge monster beast that has lived here, but it can be seen that there seems to be no demon beast here has stayed here, but judging from the traces left inside, Qian Chao thinks that this should be the nest of the arrow before this, and it is next to this spiritual spring water, and then there is the number of the bird, and the two guys are competing for this spiritual spring water, But neither could help the other, so in the end neither of them occupied the place, and when the pool was full, both of them came to drink.
In this cave, Qian Chao also found a vein, there are a lot of good ore for him to excavate, now that it is getting late outside, Qian Chao is going to spend the night here, by the way, the ore here is put into his storage bag.
……
That night, in a hidden hiding place outside the Thousand Needle Pine Forest, Tang Ping, Li Jian and the other four waited boredly.
All they have to do these days is to wait, even if they want to go out to breathe, they have to stick the talisman given by Qian Chao on their bodies to hide their figures, so as not to be seen by someone on their whereabouts, so the four of them have been extremely boring in the past two days.
Everything that should be said has been said, and everything that should be talked about has been talked about, and by midnight, several people were silent and sat cross-legged.
Lu Pingchuan, who was dozing off coldly, suddenly said "um", then turned over and sat up, and said very strangely:
"Eh, what's going on?"
Except for Lu Pingchuan, the other three people also noticed their own abnormality, and the four of them suddenly felt as if they had been bound by several heavy chains, although they walked freely, they always had a feeling of being tightly bound.
This feeling is too familiar to them, a few days ago they all sensed that they were about to break through, and they originally thought that even if they broke through, it would take a while, and it was likely that they would break through when the five of them practiced together in the future, but they didn't expect to have a sense outside this sect.
And it happened when the five people were separated, and Qian Chao walked into the thousand-needle pine forest alone.
In the past, before the cultivation of the five people was actually tied together, the five of them broke through separately, but since that time, the five people have all broken through their cultivation when they practiced together, and since then, the five people thought that all the breakthroughs in the future might happen when the five people got together, but they didn't expect this breakthrough to come so suddenly today, and there was no sign at all before.
李简 says:
"It's going to break through, everyone, Brother Qian is not here, let's breathe separately."
Indeed, Qian Chao is not here, and the "Five Elements Yunling Formation" they used to practice in the past cannot be arranged, and at this time, they can only take care of each other, so after Li Jian finished speaking, the four of them sat cross-legged, Tang Ping took out the spirit wine, Yan Xuan took out the spirit pill, and the four of them closed their eyes and settled down after taking it.
There must be a reason why something like this happens.
In the thousand-needle pine forest where Tang Ping and the four of them didn't know how far, Qian Chao was also closing his eyes.
Qian Chao saw the arrow and the bird today, and found the spiritual spring water, after a toss the sky has been dark, so he spent the night at the bottom of the deep ravine, left and right, and there is spiritual spring water in the cave is extremely strong, after busy with the matter at hand, Qian Chao came to the spiritual spring stone cave to meditate and practice.
Inside this stone cave is the intersection of several underground spiritual veins, in addition to the extremely rare spiritual spring water, it is that the spiritual energy here is extremely abundant and rich, Qian Chao did not expect that his unintentional move could make himself face a breakthrough in cultivation and take a direct step.
Of course, the process of breaking through was not smooth, in the past, whether they practiced together or not, Qian Chao was the one who dragged him forward, and it can be said that the other four people dragged him forward. But now it is not, this time it is Qian Chao who is in front of the four people because of the strong aura in the place where he is located, but after all, his spiritual root qualifications are too inferior, so the process of breaking through can be described as stumbling, several times I saw that they were all monks of the seventh layer of qi refining after stepping over, but Qian Chao was always blocked at the key intersection, if he did not break through, the other four people would not be able to break through, and finally Qian Chao suddenly thought that he should always make some preparations, so he remembered to take the pill and drink the spirit wine, Once again, the bottleneck was finally successful.
In an instant, whether it was Qian Chao or Tang Ping, who was far away from the Thousand Needles Pine Forest, the four of them felt that the heavy iron chains imprisoned on their bodies had been disintegrated, and they were extremely relaxed and comfortable.
Qian Chao raised his hand in front of him and looked at it carefully, realizing that the aura in his body at this time was much deeper than before.
Outside the thousand-needle pine forest, Lu Pingchuan stretched his muscles and bones happily after breaking through, and Tang Ping and Yan Xuan looked at each other in amazement, and now that he had broken through, he didn't know what happened to Qian Boy, Tang Ping set his eyes on the hiding place again.
Seeing this, Li Jian opened his mouth and said:
"Don't worry, Brother Qian must be fine, and we broke through in advance for no reason this time, I think it must be Brother Qian who has some adventure in the Thousand Needles Pine Forest to be like this, which means that Brother Qian must be safe and sound, we just need to wait with peace of mind."
Hearing this, Tang Ping thought of the spiritual spring that Ah Jiu said, the five of them also broke through with the help of the rich spiritual energy next to a spiritual spring water when they broke through the third layer of qi refining, and this time it would probably be the same if it was not bad.
The next day, the four of them were still in their hideouts.
However, on the third day when Qian Chao entered the Thousand Needle Pine Forest, there was an abnormality before noon, and Li Jian suddenly opened his eyes while meditating with his eyes closed, and said:
"Someone's coming."
Someone was indeed coming, and when the four of them came out quietly, they saw a crimson figure flying in the air in the distance.
Tang Ping recognized the person's identity at a glance, and said in surprise:
"Shangguan Hong......"
It was Shangguan Hong, and what surprised Tang Ping even more was that Shangguan Hong's speed did not decrease, and he flew straight into the Thousand Needles Pine Forest.
