Chapter 157: First Entry into Kunlun South Ridge
The icy cold wind blew on everyone's faces, and their skin felt as if they had been pricked by needles.
Master Wu walked at the front of everyone with a compass in his hand, and Liu Jin, Zhao Xiaoqian and others followed behind. Shi Xiao walked unhurriedly with Li Chaoyuan at the end.
It's almost afternoon, and there are still a few snowflakes scattered in the sky.
At present, the position of everyone is not the depths of Kunlun Nanling, but only the outermost dense forest. There are traces of paths taken by previous people, and there are traces of human activity around.
As the crowd walked inside, the atmosphere became more and more silent.
There was only the whistling sound of the wind and snow and the breathing of everyone, except for a few sporadic bird calls.
At this moment, Master Wu, who was walking in the front, stopped.
"Well, look at the clearing ahead." Master Wu exclaimed, pointing his finger to the clearing not far ahead. I saw that there were seven or eight huge trees in front of me, all of which were overturned, and there were a lot of scratches and deep pits around them.
Liu Jin hurriedly stepped forward to investigate, and his face became a little difficult to look at.
"Elder Qin, there are traces of the battle here. And it should be a battle between martial arts masters. Liu Jin said with a solemn face.
The battle of this magnitude was very fierce, and although there were traces of cover-up around it, the other side seemed to be in a hurry. Many traces were not processed, and Liu Jin knew the mystery after a closer investigation.
At this time, Shi Xiao and others also came around. There are traces of battles in the surrounding area for tens of meters, but this is especially noticeable here.
"This hasn't gone deep into Kunlun Nanling, since there is a battle at the grandmaster level." Shi Xiao thought secretly. The other people's faces are also a little not good,
Liu Jin and Song Meng squatted down to observe carefully, and the traces of this battle extended from inside.
"Elder Qin, do we want to move on." Liu Jin asked in a low voice.
Qin Lao's face was a little ugly, he didn't want to go out to explore the way and encounter this kind of thing. But it was still early in the morning, and after thinking for a while, Qin Lao decided to move on.
But everyone's hearts have been vigilant, which means that there may be warriors from other forces here.
Li Chaoyuan was a little nervous, he had never experienced a life-and-death struggle, but he turned his head to look at Shi Xiao on the side and couldn't help but feel at ease.
At this time, Shi Xiao's expression did not change, and he still looked at the surrounding scene indifferently. It's just that Li Chaoyuan didn't know that Shi Xiao had already entered the spiritual sense and spread out.
The surrounding range of hundreds of meters is shrouded by Shi Xiao's spiritual sense, as long as there is wind and grass to move Shi Xiao, you can know.
The crowd walked forward for another two or three hundred meters, and the density of the giant trees around them increased a lot. And there are still some footprints of wild beasts around, which have been completely out of the realm of human beings here.
At this moment, a deafening whistling sound resounded in the mountains and forests.
"Well, there's a tiger around here?!" Li Chaoyuan was surprised.
Shi Xiao's gaze had already fallen on everyone's left side, and his divine sense had detected that there was a huge tiger staring at everyone in the distance.
Liu Jin and the others were shocked, they didn't expect to encounter tigers blocking the way here.
"Where, everyone be careful." Shi Xiao said lightly, and at the same time looked at the left side of everyone.
Liu Jin, Song Meng, and Master Qin Lao Wu instantly looked at Shi Xiao, they hadn't found any trace of the tiger yet, how did Shi Xiao find it.
Before everyone could ask, there was a noisy noise around them.
I saw that two tigers, one large and one small, had appeared at a distance of more than ten meters on the left side of the crowd, and it seemed that it should be a team of mother and son.
"Looks like we've broken into their territory, and it's a bit of a coincidence." Liu Jin smiled indifferently, these people are all martial arts masters, and the two tigers pose little threat to them.
Wu Xiuxiu obviously watched the tiger up close for the first time, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"Alright, let's get out of here as soon as possible. A few hundred meters further on, let's go back to Qin Lao. Liu Jin turned his head and asked.
"Well, I guess it's getting dark once you go back and forth." Qin Lao nodded in response.
However, the two tigers clearly did not want to let everyone go. Maybe it's because of the scarcity of food in Kunlun Nanling, and Shi Xiao and others are rare ingredients for them.
The two fierce tigers crawled towards everyone in a hunting posture, and the muscle lines on their bodies were very obvious.
"What a nuisance, they even want to attack us." Liu Jin frowned, and then shot at Song Meng and Song Meng to deal with the tiger.
If they hadn't been killed, the tigers might have attacked them.
At this time, Wu Xiuxiu next to him stopped the two.
"Hey, can you not hurt them. These two tigers are so powerful and domineering, and the patterns on their bodies are also very good-looking. Wu Xiuxiu said in a low voice.
Liu Jin and Song Meng couldn't help but show bitterness when they heard it, this is a tiger, and it is not an ordinary animal. Leaving it unchecked is likely to hurt them.
At this time, Shi Xiao next to him suddenly made a move.
With a wave of his right hand, an aura suddenly floated away, and then the two tigers were sent more than ten meters away. When these two tigers saw such a method, they were immediately frightened and fled in a hurry.
Wu Xiuxiu's eyes showed a look of surprise, she didn't expect it to be Shi Xiao's shot.
"You, you're also a martial arts master? How is this possible?! Wu Xiuxiu couldn't help but show surprise on her face, Shi Xiao looked a few years older than her, but the means just now could only be done by a martial arts master.
The condensation of the form of the Gang Qi is released, and this power is already extraordinarily powerful.
"Why, isn't it like?" Shi Xiao said indifferently.
At this time, Liu Jin, the four people who didn't know Shi Xiao's identity, Master Wu and the others all showed surprise. Unexpectedly, the young man they looked down on at first turned out to be a martial arts master.
Such a young martial arts master is only possible for the closed disciples of the major super sects.
Wu Xiuxiu couldn't help but look Shi Xiao up and down carefully, she didn't feel any condensed aura from him. She has also seen a lot of martial arts masters, and the aura of these grandmasters is obviously different from ordinary people.
The qi contained in the body and its own momentum are different from ordinary people, and they can be felt no matter how hidden they are. After all, on a biological level, the two are very different.
As for Shi Xiao's breath, one is that his cultivation is different from that of a monk and a martial artist in the foundation building period. The second is that the realm of individual cultivation is different, and he has already reached the realm of returning to the basics.
Just when Wu Xiuxiu wanted to step forward to continue probing, Master Wu next to her stopped her.
"I didn't expect Shi Xiaoyou to hide it deeply, and he could reach the realm of a martial arts master at such a young age. Presumably, there will be great achievements in the future, I don't know what school you are learning from? Master Wu said respectfully.
The original contempt and disgust for Shi Xiao disappeared, but there was a look of respect in his eyes.
Although Master Wu is very good-looking, but this person is also very familiar with human feelings, Shi Xiao not only showed the method of Void Transformation Array before, but now he has shown the identity of the Martial Arts Grandmaster.
As long as you are not a person with a bad brain, you can perceive Shi Xiao's identity is definitely not simple.
"There is no sect and no sect, and then it is just a loose cultivator." Shi Xiao said indifferently.
Master Wu smiled slightly: "That can show that Shi Xiaoyou's talent is high, and he can actually rank among the realm of martial arts masters by himself." ”
"If you don't dislike it, you can come to my Shenyin Gate as a guest in the future to have a good chat."
Master Wu's mind immediately changed, it would be a pity if such a talent was not brought over. Maybe after a few years, his cultivation may surpass him.
He is a very realistic and unpretentious person, the previous Shi Xiao was dispensable to him, and Master Wu naturally didn't bother to take care of him.
But what Shi Xiao has revealed now, even if the head of the Shenyin Sect comes, he will be tempted.
"I'll visit you when I have a chance in the future, so let's explore inside first." Shi Xiao said indifferently.
Master Wu looked embarrassed when he heard this, he almost forgot the purpose of his coming. But his eyes couldn't help but look at Shi Xiao.
Wu Xiuxiu was still looking at Shi Xiao with a shocked face at the moment, she never expected Shi Xiao's talent to be so powerful.
This kind of genius is generally the personal disciple of those who are in charge of the elders, but there are only a handful of people who can reach Shi Xiao's realm. In this comparison, he is the weakest in the team.
Liu Jin and Song Meng, Zhong Ling and Chen Yihan also glanced at each other. The eyes of several people couldn't help but show shock, and now it seems that Shi Xiaozu can be called a young man.
is so young and has more strength than Zhong Ling and Chen Yihan, although the talent of the two women cannot be compared with Shi Xiao. But in the secular world, it is already very powerful, and it is very likely to become a martial arts master in the future.
But like Shi Xiao and Haoyue, this huge gap makes people unable to react for a while.
"Cut, what's so great about the Divine Hidden Gate. Mr. Shi is an honorary elder of the Daoxu Palace. Li Chaoyuan muttered quietly.
This Master Wu used to look at the two of them unpleasantly, but now it is like a Sichuan opera that has changed his face.
This couldn't help but make Li Chaoyuan very contemptuous, and Mr. Shenyin Men Shi didn't hesitate to go. At that time, when the two of them went to the Daoxu Palace, the palace master of the Daoxu Palace, Ling Xiaozhen, came to greet him in person.
Shi Xiao ignored everyone's surprised gazes and continued to march forward.
It's just that the attitude of the people around him has changed, and everyone has admired Shi Xiao unconsciously.
But now it is still necessary for everyone to continue to explore the way, so they don't care about asking Qin Lao about Shi Xiao's identity first. Master Wu stabilized his mind and continued to march forward, the wind and snow around him were still very strong.
This time, the group marched a few hundred meters, and the snow around them was enough to cover their ankles.
There are also some man-made traces along the way, and people must have been here before. Because this is one of the important roads into Kunlun Nanling, otherwise you can only climb over the cliff.
"Phew, let's get here first. Further on, it's the real Kunlun Nanling, and we don't have enough equipment to move forward. Liu Jin reminded.
Master Wu couldn't help but look at Elder Qin when he heard this, and Elder Qin nodded when he saw it.
Liu Jin had also participated in the search for rare medicinal materials in the dense forests and mountains before, and he was knowledgeable in this regard. This is also the reason why Qin Lao called him over.
When everyone was about to return, a voice suddenly interrupted them.
