Chapter 373: Arriving in the Snow Field, Assassin
The northern part of the spirit world flies with snow and wind all year round, and even demon beasts are strong enough to survive in that environment.
Therefore, most of the people who traveled through the snow to the north of the spirit world were caravans from some large chambers of commerce, as well as explorers who needed to go north to hunt monsters or find treasures.
As for those first-class or top-notch cultivators, most of them are fighting with more powerful demon beasts, in order to temper themselves and improve their cultivation realm.
Cao Chuan's purpose of traveling through the snow to the north of the spirit realm was like this.
Because the northern part of the spirit world snows all year round, the local temperature is extremely low, so low that the hot air just exhaled from the mouth will condense into ice crystals in an instant, and staying for a second or two in the snowy day is enough to freeze an ordinary person into an ice sculpture.
But it is precisely because of this cruel environment that the monks need to use their spiritual power to resist the surging cold after entering it, which makes the monks unable to exert their full strength in this environment.
The monks in the northern part of the Spirit Realm, even if they were the strongest of the Supreme Realm's Sevenfold Perfection, could only exert the strength of the Supreme Realm's Sixth Heaven or so.
This is also the real reason why Cao Chuan came here to seek a breakthrough.
He wants to fight to the death against powerful demon beasts that can live here when there are external forces to limit his strength.
It's just that in this environment, the road ahead is not so easy to walk, not to mention that there are monstrous killing opportunities from the monsters hidden in the covered snowstorm.
Then.
Cao Chuan's 1,000 divine consciousness clones, which were different from ordinary people, played a role again.
With a portion of his strength set aside to keep himself from being attacked by the wind and snow, Wen Jinghao, who had the power of a divine soul that surpassed that of an ordinary monk, could not be distracted to observe the surroundings that seemed to be too quiet.
However, Cao Chuan can use his extremely large number of divine consciousness clones to constantly observe the surroundings, and see all the changes around him, but his own strength has not been affected in any way.
That's why.
Not long after the group walked into the snowy sky and officially set foot in the northern part of the spirit world.
Cao Chuan, whose divine soul power far surpassed that of ordinary monks, suddenly noticed that there was a faint smell of blood in such a white expanse, and bursts of wheezing and cries for help echoing from all directions.
At the same time, I began to feel the ground trembling slightly, as if some monsters that were not too heavy were passing by.
But as soon as he thought of the smell of blood in the air just now, and the cries for help sensed by his own divine consciousness clone.
Cao Chuan immediately thought that there should be a monk who broke into the snowy sky in a certain direction around him, and was being chased and killed by the demon beasts living here.
And not one or two, but a group of demon beasts to hunt and kill.
It's just that he didn't plan to chase after him to help.
Because this is originally a world of the jungle, the rule of survival in such a world is to make yourself stronger.
The weak being bullied by the strong is the most common thing in the spiritual world.
What's more, Cao Chuan only sensed that this incident had happened, but he didn't sense what kind of cultivation realm the group of demon beasts who were chasing people were, which was undoubtedly a trouble that could not be easily provoked by the group of people in the Triple Heaven of the Dao Cutting Realm.
Even if Qingyun is now in his arms, and his strength has reached the Supreme Realm Sevenfold Consummation, but in the north of the Spirit Realm, Qingyun, who has inherited the bloodline power of the Qingqiu Empress, can only honestly divide part of his strength to protect himself, and in the end, he can only exert the Supreme Realm Sixth Heaven, or even lower.
But according to ancient records.
There are not only a large number of Supreme Realm demon beasts in the north of the spirit world, but it is rumored that there are many powerful demon beasts whose strength has reached the half-step fairy realm in the depths of the north.
In order to ensure his own safety, Cao Chuan does not plan to pay attention to anything until he has found a place where he can be sure of complete safety.
Even if someone was really being chased by the demon beast, he didn't plan to pay attention to it.
In this dangerous environment, it is natural to ensure your own safety first and do what you can.
Obviously.
In a place like this, where there are snowstorms everywhere, it is beyond your power to turn your head and help others.
Therefore, the group still walked on their own, until they passed through the snowstorm in front of them, walked to a mountain cliff in a rare tranquility, and saw a huge snowfield like a whole piece of white jade in front of them.
Behind him, there was a snowstorm still covered by wind and snow.
Rubbing his somewhat sore eyes that were stimulated by the white in front of him, and then looking up, he could see that not only a large number of elixir spirit grasses were growing on the snow field in front of him, but also groups of demon beasts were wandering around on this silent snow field.
This scene looks similar to the rest of the spirit world, and the monsters on the snow field are all not interfering with each other, enjoying this land that is usually inhabited by uninhabited monks.
But just when Cao Chuan was about to take Wen Jinghao, Xiaoxi, and Qingyun, two foxes, down the mountain to take a look at the snowfield in front of him.
Suddenly, a piercing scream came from behind everyone.
Then I saw a figure that was still bleeding outwards flew upside down, hitting the ground and raising a puff of dust.
When the dust cleared, you could see that the figure that had just flown upside down had died in blood.
And the bones of the whole body were broken and crushed.
But what made Cao Chuan feel strange was that this figure looked dirty, and the bones all over his body had been broken, but the appearance of his body was complete, and the only thing that might be missing was a storage bag that could be used to store heavenly treasures, spirit stones and elixirs.
"Do you mean..."
When he saw the very conspicuous belt around the deceased's waist used to hang the storage bag, Cao Chuan felt that this matter might not be so simple, so he immediately turned his head and said to Wen Jinghao: "This person should not have been killed by the demon beast hiding in the blizzard, but was assassinated to death by other monks. ”
"Was he assassinated by someone else?" Wen Jing asked.
"That's right."
Cao Chuan nodded and then squatted down and pointed at every wound on the deceased's body with his finger, and then explained: "You see that most of the wounds on this person's body are extremely smooth, and the wounds are not deep, if this person is attacked by demon beasts, then these wounds cannot be so regular, not to mention that we all know that most demon beasts use sharp teeth to tear their prey, but this person's body is actually unscathed except for the wounds." ”
"You say that the demon beasts that grow in this environment are the demon beasts that survive in the snow, how can they let go of their prey?"
"So I don't think it's the demon beast that killed this person, it's the Terran monk."
"So what do we do next?" Wen Jinghao asked.
Cao Chuan shook his head and said, "I will pass on what happened here from Shigong's token to the Refiner Association through sound transmission, I don't think we need to care about the future affairs." ”
"After all, this is already a realm that is not controlled by the Terran forces, and no one can help us in the event of a conflict with other people, so if we can not cause trouble, it is best not to cause trouble, so as not to make ourselves unhappy in this kind of place where birds don't."
"Let's go."
got up and patted the falling snow on his body, Cao Chuan immediately took Wen Jinghao and Xiaoxi, and Qingyun and the two foxes ready to walk down the mountain and go to the snowfield in front of them to have a look.
Wen Jinghao felt a little flustered, so she followed Cao Chuan closely.
Xiao Fox and Qingyun were very curious about the unfamiliar environment in front of them, and the two pairs of fox eyes kept observing the surroundings.
Soon, the group walked down the not very high cliff and began to walk on the flat ground heading to the snowfield.
Although it is a snowy field, the snow on the ground is not that thick.
Cao Chuan and his party passed through here smoothly without much effort, and walked to the closest place to those demon beasts on the snow field.
But just when Cao Chuan and the others were going to take a look at the snow field along the edge, and then decide whether to continue deeper into the snow field.
Suddenly.
There was an icy aura that came from behind everyone's backs.
The cold aura was also mixed with an extremely strong murderous aura.
This murderous aura is actually very obscure, and if you don't pay attention, you won't have a chance to dodge.
But the person or demon beast who released this killing intent obviously underestimated Cao Chuan's divine soul power.
When this killing intent just appeared, Cao Chuan had already noticed it, and immediately reacted, pulling Wen Jing to the side to dodge.
Then I saw a short knife whistling past, and then it sank into the heart of a lone demon beast not far ahead.
The monster roared and died for a short time.
Obviously, there is still poison on the daggle, and it is highly poisonous.
Cao Chuan, who dodged this move, immediately squinted his eyes slightly and looked in the direction where the short knife was flying.
Then he shouted loudly into the space in front of him, where nothing existed, "Since Your Excellency has already done something to us, why do you continue to hide, and I think. That corpse in the snowy sky just now is actually your handiwork, right? ”
"Hahahaha!"
"That's right! That guy was indeed killed by me! ”
"It's a pity that the knife just now didn't kill you."
The voice fell.
I saw a ragged, but tall figure, and a slender man with a little lean in it, wearing a ghost mask, came out of the shadows.
It's as if he had been in the dark all along.
"No wonder I didn't notice you before, it seems that this is an extremely special method of concealment that Your Excellency has cultivated."
Although he knew that the person in front of him must be a bad comer, Cao Chuan did not rush to make a move with the other party, but said with an indifferent expression: "It seems that the monk who was killed in the snowy sky before was assassinated to death by you in this way. ”
"It's a pity that the trick you just made has been dodged by me, you should also know that as an assassin, even if you miss the shot, even if you expose yourself, at this time, as an assassin, your best choice as an assassin should be to run for your life, right?"
After speaking, Cao Chuan pulled out the Sky Cutting Sword and held it in his hand.
The momentum of the whole body began to climb steadily, and after a while, the stranger on the opposite side was enveloped.
Killing intent could erupt at any moment.
But the stranger, who was shrouded in murderous intent, was not worried about this, but suddenly burst out laughing.
I only heard him laugh arrogantly: "Little brother, I admit that it is indeed very surprising that you can find me, but you don't really think that you can defeat me with your own Dao Cutting Realm Triple Cultivation Realm, right?" ”
"Didn't you notice what kind of cultivation realm I was when you discovered me?"
"Come on! Let me have a good fight with you little guy who is so ambitious today! ”
As soon as the words fell, a black aura with extremely murderous intent immediately emerged from the stranger's body.
At this time, the black gas gradually enveloped the heads of everyone.
As the stranger unleashed his aura of spiritual power.
Only then did Cao Chuan realize that the murderer he was facing was actually the cultivation realm of the Supreme Realm Five Heavens.
At this time, Cao Chuan's heart is really bottomless.
But it was also at this time.
Qingyun, who was held in his arms and then ran to his shoulder, suddenly jumped off the ground, and then directly turned into a human form and stopped in front of Cao Chuan and Wen Jinghao.
At the same time, the strength of the Sevenfold Perfection of the Supreme Realm was also revealed at this time.
The stranger saw a fox much stronger than himself suddenly appear in front of him, and his face immediately turned dark.
Cao Chuan, who was protected by Qingyun, touched the back of his head in embarrassment.
In fact, he also forgot that Qingyun, who he had been holding since he had intersected with his yin and yang, was actually an eight-tailed phantom fox that had inherited the bloodline power of the Empress Qingqiu, and even forgot that if Qingyun could evolve one more tail, he could become a nine-tailed fairy fox like the Empress Qingqiu, and even achieve a half-step fairyland or even a fairyland.
Now that I have come to my senses, I no longer worry about the danger I will be in the future.
After all, in such a place, not only Qingyun needs to allocate some of his strength to resist the erosion of the cold, but also the strangers on the other side.
What's more, what is circulating in Qingyun's body is the bloodline power of the Qingqiu Empress, and its true strength has always been far beyond the ordinary eight-tailed phantom fox, which cannot be measured by the ordinary realm of the sevenfold perfection of the supreme realm.
The truth is just as Cao Chuan thought.
Qingyun chose to take the initiative, and with the strong strength of his Supreme Realm Sevenfold Perfection, he always suppressed the stranger wearing the ghost mask on the opposite side.
It wasn't until the stranger's head was hit and the blood flowed, and the swollen head was no longer visible, and he was out of breath when he finally stopped.
At this time, the stranger was already dying, and after a while, he completely lost his breath.
But Qingyun, who was lying in Cao Chuan's arms after turning back into his own body, opened his mouth and said: "Childe, this guy has a lot of things on his body, but after seeing those things, I suspect that this guy is not alone. ”
"I think there must be other people like him hiding in the shadows in other parts of this snowfield."
