Volume 5: Chu Ming 464: Shangguan Hong's Journey to the Forbidden Land (End)
Heading south from Jianyu's lair, Shangguan Hong's mood was still a little excited, after all, after a few days of suffering in this thousand-needle pine forest, he could finally find Tang Ping's five people.
She flew high, this place was far away from the place where Tang Ping was, and she could get rid of the entanglement of most of the middle-level demon beasts and demon birds in the Thousand Needle Pine Forest, and flew all the way to the south, this time she showed her speed completely unreservedly, and after a tea time in the air, the peak in front of her was the peak in the middle of the Thousand Needle Pine Forest, and then after crossing it, she saw a tall peak outline under the moonlight in the distance, which was where the nest of the bird was located.
The nest of the arrow is in a depression, and the nest of the bird is on the highest peak in the thousand-needle pine forest.
After crossing the peak in the middle, he flew south for another distance, because he was worried that his tracks would be discovered by Tang Ping's others, after all, the sword cultivator named Li Jian was rumored to have amazing sensing power, and he could detect danger from a long distance, so Shangguan Hong gradually slowed down and lowered his altitude, and the closer she got to the highest mountain, the more careful she became.
At the same time, the closer he got to the place where the bird nested, the more Shangguan Hong felt that tonight was unusual.
In front of her, she could already see the outline of the mountain peak, but as Shangguan Hong flew closer and closer, she found that the moonlight around her was getting darker and darker, tonight was the night of the full moon, at this time to the middle of the sky, the moonlight was shining brightly, at least when she rushed all the way from the nest of the arrow, she never paid attention to it, but after crossing the mountain peak in the middle, the more south, it seemed that the moonlight was getting darker and darker, which Shangguan Hong inadvertently realized.
After noticing the abnormality, Shangguan Hong restrained his body in the air.
Looking back, the pine forest in the north was silent under the moonlight, but compared to her north and south, there was indeed a difference between light and dark, so she was convinced of the unusual moonlight, and then looked up, it was also a silver plate like the moon in the sky, why did such a thing happen? Shangguan Hong observed and compared back and forth, still the more to the north, the lower the forest sea seemed to be brighter, and the more south, the more dim the forest sea became, especially near the peak where the bird nested, just like the arrow nest seen before, it was also a dark and dreary piece, and the peak where the bird nested was like a lonely lightless island in the black ocean, and the moonlight seemed to be quietly swallowed up by something hidden in the peak. Originally, there was an incomparably powerful existence there, and at this time, this scene in Shangguan Hong's eyes made her feel that the mountain peak was both weird and terrifying.
Shangguan Hong suddenly found that she was almost at the boundary between light and darkness at this time.
Further south, she enters even darker territory.
Turning north, she was back in the moonlight.
Tonight, she has heard three distant birdsong, judging from the sound, the one who made that kind of chirp must be the horn bird, the rest of the demon birds do not have such a powerful ability, and judging from the direction, the sound is also from the south of the thousand needle pine forest all the way to her ears, the south is where the nest of the horn bird is, so she is more sure that the sharp chirp is made by the horn bird.
Shangguan Hong suspected that Qian Chao had alarmed the bird when arranging the formation, so it chirped like this, but what was going on in this gloom in front of him?
Is it caused by the formation of the money tide or is it something else?
Is it a means of the Snapbird?
In short, the good ones shouldn't have this kind of situation.
And the most realistic question is, what should she do next?
Is it to turn around and avoid possible dangers?
Or do you want to keep going forward and see what is going on, maybe there will be a chance to get rid of those five people in one fell swoop, so that she can feel happy in her heart?
Shangguan Hong is a fierce woman, but also a ruthless person, she believes that the more dangerous it is, the more chance there will be, so after she has determined that it should be Qian Chao arranging the formation, Shangguan Hong gritted her teeth and continued to launch her body and fly forward.
When heading south, how could Shangguan Hong know that this was a wrong decision!
……
There are only two mountains in the Thousand Needle Pine Forest, one is in the middle and there is a spiritual spring below it, but this mountain has no name on the map. The highest mountain where the bird nests has a name, called Ji Peak, and the nest of the bird is not on the top of this Ji Peak, but in the middle of the mountain.
Of course, the vision that Shangguan Hong saw was not caused by Qian Chao's arrangement of the formation, because Qian Chao was in the sect at this time, and there was an unexpected and very important guest at his residence at this time, who was talking.
This vision was caused by Ah Jiu.
Ah Jiu followed what Qian Chao said, and after getting the two small wooden cards worn with animal tendons from Qian Chao's hands, she waited patiently by the side of Gu Hou Fairy for a few days, and when the time was about the same, she could no longer hold back her temperament, and quietly flew out of the Five Spirits Sect and went straight to the Thousand Needles Pine Forest.
However, Ah Jiu could not have as confidence in Qian Chao's methods as Tang Ping, so she had to be cautious when working with Qian Chao for the first time. Secondly, tonight she has to deal with the number of birds and arrows, these two guys Ah Jiu has always coveted and has been unable to hand, the reason mentioned earlier, the strength of these two guys is on par with her, if it is a forced life and death fight, Ah Jiu is confident that she can win, but after that, she will inevitably get a body injured back, and the gains outweigh the losses. Even though Qian Chao said that he had already arranged a formation to trap both the arrow and the bird, and they were all weakened by the formation, it was Ah Jiu who really attacked these two guys, not Qian Chao.
What if Qian Chao's formation is not as powerful as he said?
What if the two small wooden cards given by Qian Chao can't offset the influence of the formation he arranged?
All of this made Ah Jiu hesitate before making a move, so she first started to be tempted.
Ah Jiu's first chosen target was the Snapbird, in her opinion, compared to the arrow, the Snapbird was actually easier to deal with, well, if Ah Jiu had chosen the arrow at the beginning, then maybe Shangguan Hong at this time would have been scared to flee the Thousand Needle Pine Forest.
In the process of temptation, the Snapbird naturally discovered Ah Jiu, because they had fought several times before today, all of which were tentative, and the winner was not distinguished, and the Snapbird naturally recognized Ah Jiu, the enemy.
Although Ah Jiu is the same as the strength of the Haoxiao Bird, Ah Jiu is a spirit bird, and he has always followed the Guhou Fairy and has a master. However, the number of Xiaoniao is different, it has been in the wild and is called a demon bird. Although there is only one word difference between the spirit bird and the demon bird, there is still a big difference between Ah Jiu and Hao Xiaoniao.
The biggest difference is that Ah Jiu is now considered to be intelligent, can turn into a human form, can speak human words, and can make careful calculations for himself, so to speak, Ah Jiu is now a legendary goblin in the world.
This is not the case with the Horn Bird, although Ah Jiu is very jealous of it, but the Horn Bird is confused at this time, his mind is cloudy and unknown, and he is still just a fierce demon bird born with powerful means, and all his reactions and actions are instinctive.
One more thing to say here, in the cultivation world, demon beasts and monsters without masters can also open their own spiritual wisdom, but then they need to be able to survive a long time without dying before they have a chance to get to this point, and if they do it a little, that kind of monster beasts and monsters are far more powerful than the current number of birds, such monsters and monsters are the monk's nightmare, of course, it is also possible to become friends with the monk, but this kind of situation is rare, even if there is, it is just a legend recorded in the legend of Zhiwei.
In the face of Ah Jiu's temptation, there is very little that the bird can do.
Because it is now affected by two formations at the same time, one is that the spiritual veins gathered by Ji Peak have become an unbreakable cage under the influence of Qian Chao's formation, and the bird has tried many times, but it has never been able to escape from it; The other is Qian Chao's enhanced version of the Lock Spirit Array, which has been in this formation for these days, and the number Xiaoniao is already very weak at this time.
In the face of Ah Jiu's temptation, the bird certainly sensed that the crisis was coming, but it could only barely let out a threatening chirp, trying to scare Ah Jiu away.
The chirping of the bird was sent out three times, all of which were made by Ah Jiu when he approached it when he was tempted, and these three chirps were transmitted far away, and were heard by Shangguan Hong, who was also in the thousand-needle pine forest, especially the last one, at that time, Shangguan Hong had already guessed that the reason why Jian Yu was not lured by her saliva incense was probably because its nest was arranged by Qian Chao in a formation, and then after hearing the third chirp of the Xiao Bird, she thought that Qian Chao was arranging a formation at the Xiao Bird at that time, so she abandoned the arrow and rushed all the way south.
Ah Jiu's temptation was naturally three times, the first time she found that the bird was indeed unable to fly out of its nest to fight her in the face of her own provocation, and its chirping also seemed weak.
The second time Ah Jiu confirmed that the number Xiaoniao was indeed a lot weaker, but he was barely maintaining a strong momentum in the middle, which made Ah Jiu feel a lot more at ease.
However, in the first two temptations, Ah Jiu did not dare to fly into the range of Qian Chao's formation, but if she wanted to succeed, she had to do so, so after plucking up her courage in the air, Ah Jiu finally made a heart, and directly spread her huge wings and pounced into the formation of the trapped bird......
Then she flew out of it safely, Ah Jiu noticed that the bird was about to chase in the face of such a provocation from him, but it fell back like a heavy crash against a transparent wall, and could only make a scream that sounded extremely sharp but not powerful, and the most important thing was that Ah Jiu finally confirmed that the two small wooden cards skewered with animal tendons given by Qian Chao were really useful!
That circle of animal tendons now hangs on the neck of one of Ah Jiu's nine heads.
Money boy, it's really a good means!
Ah Jiu secretly said in his heart, since the result of the temptation has come out, then it is time to really do it!
And at this time, it was the time for Shangguan Hong to face the vision of Ji Feng and make up his mind to go and see what was going on.
……
Suddenly, chaos appeared in front of Shangguan Hong.
It's chaos, not smoke or clouds, the silver plate-like moon in the night sky is always hanging high, but the mountain peak where Shangguan Hong's eyes are nesting is shrouded by that chaos, as if the whole world where the mountain peak is located suddenly has its own color, covering the mountain peak in it, this change made Shangguan Hong suddenly vigilant, she didn't know that this was Ah Jiu's accumulated power and was ready to give the bird a fatal blow, she thought that this was Qian Chao This is Qian Chao's formation will be completed, and her heart is even more anxious about this.
However, she always felt that she had to avoid the eyes and ears of Tang Ping's people, especially Li Jian, so after seeing the inexplicable chaos in Ji Feng, she made a detour, preparing to approach from the side, so as not to be discovered.
This move saved Shangguan Hong's life.
Shangguan Hong's original flight direction was to fly straight from the peak in the middle of the Thousand Needle Pine Forest to Ji Peak, and then when she was still far away from Ji Peak, she began to make a big bend, just after Shangguan Hong was far away from the connection between Ji Peak and the middle peak, suddenly she found that there was a faint electric light in the chaos shrouded in Ji Peak.
Then she heard a cry like a baby's night cry coming from the chaos, it sounded like the sound of countless children letting go of their throats at the same time and crying loudly, the sound was very loud and heartbreaking, and it was terrifying in the night!
Shangguan Hong's body was immediately stagnant, she had not heard this strange and terrifying cry before, but she had heard it mentioned, it was her master, Qiu Huayu had said that her uncle and aunt had won the fairy's spirit bird Ah Jiu, and the song of the nine-headed Gu bird with the blood of the ancient true spirit was as ugly as the cry of many children together......
Shangguan Hong could only think of this, because what happened later made her unable to think about it at all!
Countless sharp edges instantly shrouded in the chaos of Ji Peak cut apart, vanished, and at the same time, in the south of the Thousand Needle Pine Forest in the south of the Ji Peak this vast space in an instant fierce turmoil, between heaven and earth is like countless sharp tenacious and infinitely long silk threads from the nest of the bird to all directions horizontally and vertically, up and down and densely whistling and unstoppable cutting, and due north is the most serious, where a large area of forest trees in this moment of turmoil cut sawdust, branches broken, The section was so smooth that when the big trees fell, they slowly slipped from the section, but they couldn't wait for the big trees to slip, and then the wind suddenly rose, roaring suddenly, and under the moonlight, countless pine trees that had long been mutilated were uprooted and mixed with the huge waves of mud and sand that rose to the sky, rolling towards the back, and then an extremely sharp and piercing sound covered half of the thousand-needle pine forest behind the wind and waves.
At that time, the last sound of the Snapbird!
After the turmoil, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, the moonlight is bright, the outline of the peak is very clear under the moonlight, and halfway up the mountainside of the peak, a pair of huge wings are slowly closing and finally disappearing in the dark outline of the peak.
Fortunately, Shangguan Hong was far away, fortunately Shangguan Hong was far away from the main direction of the sharp chirp, but even so, Shangguan Hong at this time was already lying on the ground weakly, and in the storm just now, she was like a leaf in the wind, first rolling along the power of this huge wave and then falling weakly, and finally stopped after rolling out on the ground after not knowing how far to roll out. At this time, Shangguan Hong was facing the sky on her back, her hair was messy, her eyes were white, her face was like gold paper, there was blood oozing out of her two ear holes, and then the corners of her eyes and nostrils.
Fortunately, the black cloak was still wrapped around her body, and it was not lost.
In this way, Shangguan Hong lay in extreme pain for an unknown amount of time, and then saw a pair of huge black wings flying diagonally towards the north.
At this time, Shangguan Hong realized that things were far from being as simple as she thought, at this time, it was no longer important that Tang Ping was not in the Thousand Needle Pine Forest, and the most important thing for her now was that she had to leave here immediately, she was seriously injured and in a forbidden place, if it took a little longer, maybe she would never have a chance to go back!
Tang Ping, I'll remember this account for you!
