Volume 5: The First Song Five Hundred and Fifty-Nine: Calm (5)
Shangguan Hong did discover Zhang Yi and Zong Fang in front of him early, and he recognized Lou Qingyao at a glance.
It's time to talk about Shangguan Hong, after all, she and Lou Qingyao have the same purpose, and she will never let go of that Qingluan egg. And compared with Zhang Yi, the difference between what she wants to do is only that the character she is targeting is Tang Ping.
The last time Qian Chao and the five people came out, Shangguan Hong quietly followed the whole process, and naturally followed up with Chaoshigangnei, and when they came out, they were discovered by Zhang Yi, Zong Yan and Lou Qingyao. In fact, with Shangguan Hong's vigilance, she shouldn't have been so careless when she came out of Ranshigang that time, and maybe even found Zhang Yi's three people, the reason why she was discovered by Zhang Yi and others that time was because what she saw and heard in Chaoshigang made Shangguan Hong in a panic mixed with shock and disbelief at the same time.
Before Ranshigang, Shangguan Hong had an experience in the thousand-needle pine forest, and that time she was completely fooled. The first point is that only Qian Chao entered the Thousand Needles Pine Forest at that time, but Shangguan Hong thought that Qian Chao and Tang Ping had all entered; The second is that Qian Chao returned to the Five Spirits Sect after doing things in the Thousand Needle Pine Forest, and Shangguan Hong thought that the five people must still be carefully looking for Qingluan's eggs in the Thousand Needle Pine Forest because he had not found any trace of Qian Chao and Tang Ping and others, so she was reluctant to leave in the Thousand Needle Pine Forest until Ah Jiu, who had obtained the fairy, entered the Thousand Needle Pine Forest to kill the arrow and the bird according to the agreement with Qian Chao, and she didn't see the scene of killing the arrow, but Shangguan Hong was not far away when Ah Jiu killed the bird. The turmoil caused by the fierce fight between the two high-ranking big birds spread to a large area, almost killing Shangguan Hong, who barely escaped back with an injury.
Shangguan Hong didn't know why Ah Jiu was there, but she soon thought that this was Gu Yu Fairy helping her disciple, and asked Ah Jiu to kill the most powerful demon beasts and demon birds in the Thousand Needle Pine Forest, so that Tang Ping could search all over the place.
During the period of recuperation, Shangguan Hong was still worried that Tang Ping would find Qingluan's eggs first, but soon she found that her worries were unnecessary, and then rumors spread in the sect, and she understood that Qian Chao and Tang Ping had gone to the cold pool during that time. Shangguan Hong didn't have any interest in the matter of the cold pool, she waited until the matter of the cold pool completely calmed down, and when Tang Ping and the five of them went out of the sect to find Qingluan's eggs again, she continued to follow out quietly, that time it was the trip of Qian Chao and Tang Ping to the chaotic stone gang.
And it was that trip to Shigang that completely changed Shangguan Hong's attitude towards Qian Chao's five people.
Shangguan Hong's initial attitude towards Qian Chao was very contemptuous and disdainful, in fact, not only Qian Chao, but also Yan Xuan, Li Jian and Lu Pingchuan, she thought that these four people were attached to Tang Ping's side because of Tang Ping's life experience, which made her look down on her. But that was a long time ago, there were too many things that happened later, and little by little she changed her opinion of Tang Ping's four partners, especially in the Shouwo Mountain, although it was not real from a distance, but in the end, the amazing changes that occurred in the Shouwu Mountain were probably caused by Qian Chao, in this process, she began to pay more and more attention to Qian Chao and all the companions around Tang Ping, and even became jealous, until the trip to Ranshigang, she became completely changed her opinion of these five people because of what she saw with her own eyes.
Because she finally met Ah Jiu in the Thousand Needle Pine Forest, Shangguan Hong thought that Tang Ping must have quietly followed and protected Ah Jiu when she entered the chaotic stone gang, which made her rely more on her black Qiu cloak, which was given to Shangguan Hong after Qiu Huagul was punished for a hundred years, and it was an out-and-out treasure, with this black fur, Shangguan Hong could not only avoid the detection of the middle-level demon beasts, but even in front of the high-level demon beasts, as long as she launched the black fur with all her might, she could also retreat safely without any harm.
Of course, this is also what makes Shangguan Hong the most curious, she has a black Qiu amulet, which was given by her master, and there is only one black Qiu, and even her uncle and aunt don't have a fairy, so how did Tang Ping come and go freely in the Thousand Needle Pine Forest and the Chaotic Stone Gang?
It's not just Tang Ping who is important, but also four companions around her who have also entered the forbidden land together, how did they manage not to be discovered by the middle-level demon beasts inside?
Of course, Shangguan Hong wouldn't know that those five people were wearing a small wooden card engraved with the "Hidden Spirit Array", the formation on this wooden card could almost completely block the aura fluctuations emitted by the five of them, if it weren't for the sound of being close to it, it wouldn't have attracted the attention of the middle-level demon beasts in the forbidden land at all, she didn't know this, and it was impossible to see the small wooden card, in her eyes, those five people seemed to have no worries at all and directly broke into the Chaotic Stone Gang.
Here you can comment a little on the difference between Shangguan Hong's black fur and Qian Chao's small wooden card.
When targeting mid-level demon beasts, it should be said that there is no difference in the effect of the two things, whether it is a small wooden card made by Heiqiu or Qian Chao, it can mask its own aura fluctuations, unless it is directly seen, smelled or heard by a mid-level demon beast, otherwise the person who uses it is safe.
However, the black fur has to constantly consume the user's own aura when it plays a role, and the small wooden card made by Qian Chao does not have this burden, as long as it is worn on the body, so from this point of view, it is naturally the small wooden card of Qian Chao that is better.
But there are also high-level demon beasts in the forbidden land, if you face high-level demon beasts, then the small wooden card made by Qian Chao will be difficult to deal with, whether it is Tang Ping or Li Jian, if you only wear that small wooden card, you will definitely be detected by the high-level demon beasts and face danger. And at this time, Shangguan Hong did not have this trouble, even if she was detected by the high-level demon beast, as long as she increased the infusion of aura into the black fur, it would still disappear without a trace under the induction of the high-level demon beast, so in the face of the danger brought by the high-level demon beast, Shangguan Hong was much safer and more secure.
Of course, this comparison does not take into account Qian Chao's "subtle technique", if it is only a comparison of Qian Chao and Shangguan Hong's entry into the forbidden land, then even if Shangguan Hong has a black fur, it cannot be compared to Qian Chao who has a "subtle technique", because at the level of flexibility, Shangguan Hong is a little worse than Qian Chao.
What's more, in the chaotic stone gang at that time, the two high-level demon beasts "tooth snatching" and "provocation" had been killed by Ah Jiu, which Qian Chao and others knew but Shangguan Hong didn't know, that is, in the chaotic stone gang, Qian Chao and the others only needed to use that small wooden card, but Shangguan Hong had met Ah Jiu in the thousand-needle pine forest, so he thought that it was likely that Ah Jiu was also secretly protecting Tang Ping in the chaotic stone gang, and she was more worried that Ah Jiu would even be unfavorable to herself under Tang Ping's instructions, so she didn't dare to break away from Heiqiu's protection. Therefore, during the entire trip to Chaoshigang, Shangguan Hong was tired because he had been constantly consuming aura.
Another point, Shangguan Hong has not found Tang Ping and his party in the Thousand Needle Pine Forest, she thinks that she lost it at the time, so she has been following closely in the chaotic stone gang, and she did not dare to relax for a moment, she did not lose it that time, and it was precisely because she did not lose it that she saw it, so what she saw made her frightened.
Although the five of Qian Chao can't be said to be as comfortable as a leisurely stroll in the chaotic stone gang, they don't know how much easier it is compared to her.
In Shangguan Hong's opinion, those five people seem to have entered either the forbidden land, or any ordinary place outside the sect, which is the most puzzling thing for Shangguan Hong, this is obviously a forbidden place!
Not only that, but the five people were talking and laughing, and they were very relaxed, far away, Shangguan Hong naturally couldn't hear what they were talking about, but even with Heiqiu on her side, she didn't dare to get too close, so she could only follow from a distance.
After a period of time, Shangguan Hong gradually made some discoveries, in her opinion, the most relaxed among the five people was Qian Chao, which is not to say that Qian Chao did nothing in it, but Qian Chao's performance in the forbidden land was the most relaxed, and the other four people were somewhat cautious, but Qian Chao was the most leisurely in the forbidden land;
In addition, the busiest of the five people should be Yan Xuan, and the chaotic stone gang is a forbidden place, and the richness of the aura is incomparable to other places, so there are a lot of spiritual grasses in it, and almost all of them are of high quality, so Shangguan Hong saw Yan Xuan squatting down to pick from time to time, and the speed of the five people was completely slowed down by Yan Xuan, and if there was a place where the spiritual grass was overgrown, Tang Ping would also follow to help;
Later, Shangguan Hong also found that among these five people, it seemed that Qian Chao was the mainstay, although he searched carefully in the chaotic stone gang, but how to go and where to go seemed to listen to Qian Chao, even Tang Ping, who has always been spicy, was obedient and obedient, and this discovery made Shangguan Hong puzzled;
In the chaotic stone gang, in addition to Yan Xuan has been picking spirit grass, Qian Chao also used means to find some similar ore veins, and immediately dug and dug with the big man named Lu Pingchuan, seeing that Qian Chao's expression seemed to be as happy as digging some treasure.
The most idle of the five people may be the sword cultivator named Li Jian, in the whole trip to Ranshigang, no matter when he sees it, Li Jian is standing there quietly, whether Yan Xuan meets the spirit grass or Qian Chao finds the ore vein, he will not help, until once Shangguan Hong because of the consumption of a lot of spiritual energy and there are no demon beasts near her, so he relaxed, after the black Qiu cloak broke the aura, she immediately found that Li Jian turned her face and stared in the direction where she was hiding, and suddenly Shangguan Hong was shocked, Only then did I realize why Li Jian had been like this all the time. It is rumored that this Li Jian has a natural sense of power, and can detect the prying eyes of others far away, no wonder he does nothing in the forbidden land, it turns out that he is acting as a sentry duty, not only Li Jian stared at it at that time, but also under his warning, the rest of the four people also looked in the direction of Shangguan Hong's hiding, which made Shangguan Hong shocked for a while, and hurriedly used the black Qiu cloak again regardless of the loss of his aura, and at the same time urgently changed the place where she was hiding, trying to stay away from the five people.
Of course, this was not the most surprising thing about Shangguan Hong's trip to Ranshigang, what she couldn't believe the most was the performance of those five people after encountering the middle-level demon beasts.
Shangguan Hong had encountered a middle-level demon beast more than once in the Thousand Needle Pine Forest, and had several thrilling experiences, with her current cultivation, she would never dare to confront the middle-level demon beast head-on, but those five people were completely different when facing the sudden middle-level demon beast, they neither dodged nor ran away. It didn't take long to enter the chaotic stone gang, Shangguan Hong saw for the first time how Qian Chao arranged the formation, and I don't know why, a demon beast suddenly came out in front of the five people of Qian Chao, roaring and rushing towards the five of them, and with the rapid change of Qian Chao's technique, a shiny mass of things flew out quickly and then scattered in a clearing and disappeared. During this period, the demon beast brought a large cloud of smoke and dust and rushed over, looking so scary, when Shangguan Hong was worried about the five people, and they were so calm to watch the demon beast rushing straight forward, until the demon beast rushed into the clearing, the whole body suddenly disappeared, but the momentum of rushing over was still there, the huge body suddenly lost its balance, and it rumbled and smashed on the ground rapidly, until it finally stopped, and it could no longer move, and then Li Jian quickly stepped forward and stabbed a sword into the skull from the eye of the demon beast, Immediately let the demon beast die, and then Lu Pingchuan appeared on the stage, happily putting the killed middle-level demon beast into his storage bag.
After seeing this scene for the first time, Shangguan Hong only felt that his chest was beating badly!
Not to mention anything else, if the mid-level demon beast just now was flying towards her, she would definitely immediately launch the Black Qiu Cloak with all her strength, and then immediately flee there, at most, the demon beast would wander around in place twice and roar a few more times after losing her trace. And the five people of Qian Chao were so simply that they didn't even bother to hide when they encountered a middle-level demon beast, so they killed them directly!
Even...... It seems that killing those mid-level demon beasts is one of the things they have to do when they enter the forbidden land!
On the first day of Shangguan Hong's tracking of Qian Chao in Ranshigang, in different locations, different demon beasts, but extremely similar scenes happened many times, even not only the demon beasts running on the ground, even the demon birds in the air Qian Chao and those people can deal with it, in the places where some demon birds inhabit in Ranshigang, Qian Chao will arrange his formation on the mountain walls on both sides of the small canyon, or between adjacent boulders or between big trees, in short, as long as those wings are spread out, at least more than a foot of big birds swoop down like dark clouds and lightning, or when the sharp beak or claw was aimed at the five people to catch it, as long as their wings swept through those formations, they immediately fell to the ground straight or obliquely as if they had lost all their strength, and then Li Jian stepped out again, and the sword light flashed and took its life, and then it was Lu Pingchuan's turn to put it in the storage bag.
is also a Qi refining disciple, is the gap so big?
Shangguan Hong even thought of a point, if Tang Ping and the others really found Qingluan's egg, with the current performance of the five of them, would she still be able to snatch the precious egg?
