Chapter 265: Skull Mountains

Tianqi got the Huang Xuangen by chance, and now, refining the Qingling Pill and the Stygian Yin Pill is only one main medicinal material - blood thistle!

The blood thistle is shaped like thistle, the form is slightly smaller, but the whole body is blood red, it must be cultivated with the flesh and blood, bones, and anger of various magical beasts, and it generally grows in the burial grave or the ancient battlefield, although the blood thistle grows in such a cold and harsh environment, but it is like a lotus, out of the mud and not stained, turning the evil qi into aura, with a lot of vitality, it can give birth to muscles and bones, protect the meridians, it is a healing holy object, and it is also a rare medicinal material for alchemy.

Of course, because the environment in which blood thistle grows is relatively special, it is difficult to find blood thistle.

However, Tianqi is not worried about not being able to find blood thistle, he has seen the flavor of blood thistle in a medicine book, and the book mentioned that there is a skull mountain range in the Tianling Continent that is rich in blood thistle, and this skull mountain range is just in the North Demon Beast Mountain Range, and it just so happens that Tianqi has to pass through the Skull Mountain Range when he travels north.

The Skull Mountain Range stretches for thousands of miles, it is a dangerous place in the Northern Demon Beast Mountain Range, the entire mountain range lives up to its name, almost all of them are piled up with skeletons, there are bones everywhere, there is anger everywhere, black smoke miasma, eerie and terrifying, even the masters of the Xuanling Realm dare not rush into it.

This Skull Mountain Range doesn't know how long it has existed, rumors about it are endless, some people say that there was an earth-shattering battle here, a war between ghosts and gods, a big battle between humans and monsters on the Heavenly Spirit Continent, and finally humans narrowly won, these bones are left back then.

Some people also say that there is an ancient demonic beast that has entered the demon here, it is extremely fierce, although it is suppressed, but it is eating the past creatures every day, and these bones are left by the devoured creatures, such as the accumulation of months, becoming this skeleton mountain range.

There are also people who say that the Heavenly Evil Sword, one of the three major artifacts of the Heavenly Spirit Continent, was born here, when the Heavenly Evil Ancestor forged the Heavenly Evil Sword, killed 100,000 demonic beasts, and turned them into a melting pot with their essence and blood, after decades, and finally cast the Heavenly Evil Sword, and these bones were left by the 100,000 demonic beasts, and because of the influence of the dark power of the Heavenly Evil Sword, it was gloomy all year round, and this gloomy aura would erode the creatures that strayed into this place, and once the creatures who strayed into this place could not resist this gloomy aura, they would fall here, and the bones here increased year by year, and the gloomy aura became stronger and stronger。

Some people even say that there have been unclean things here, and the bones here are piled up like mountains, stretching for thousands of miles.

There are countless rumors, but there is no evidence, and no one dares to really go deep into the Skull Mountains to find out, because the bloody history tells the world that all the creatures that go deep into the core area of the Skull Mountains have no return.

Tianqi didn't care about how weird the Skull Mountains were, anyway, Tianqi only planned to pick a blood thistle at the edge of the Skull Mountains, and then took a detour.

After Tianqi and Qin Yu and the other five people separated, they flew for about two months, and finally arrived at the edge of the Skull Mountains.

"Click"

Tianqi slowly descended, stepped on the sole of his foot and turned into skull.

"These skeletons look a little old, and they're all weathered."

"Looks like there are a lot of new ones", Xiao Ye jumped down from Tianqi's back and looked at the dead body of a roe deer in the distance, the smell was stinking, and there were many buzzing flies flying around on it.

Tianqi followed the terrain and looked inside, only to see that in the depths of the mountains inside, the clouds and mist were kind, the vines were continuous, covering the sky and the sun, and between the faint cracks, the white bones were piled up, and the bones were full of fire, whether it was trees or land, all of them were gray and white, monotonous and terrible.

You don't have to be in it, just look at it twice, you feel cold behind you, and you are afraid to look at it again.

Tianqi shuddered, and hurriedly turned around and said, "Let's look around for blood thistles."

Xiao Ye glanced contemptuously at the depths of the Skull Mountains, and smiled at Tianqi, "What's the matter?

"Ahem, we're here to do business, don't talk about uselessness", Tianqi glared at Xiao Ye, coughed twice, and seemed to be a little weak-hearted.

"Haha, Tianqi, you have a weak heart", Xiao Ye couldn't help but laugh when she saw Tianqi pretending to be serious.

"Nonsense", Tianqi didn't want to be misunderstood for his timidity, and explained: "Is there a magma field here? Is there a gloomy bridge here? If I was even afraid of this, I would have died in the mausoleum of the Holy Ancestor of the Beast Clan."

Xiao Ye thought about it, and also felt that what Tianqi said was reasonable, the land of magma, a sea of fire, can't go up to the world and doesn't touch the ground, it's much more terrifying than here, the bridge on the other side, it's dark, the wind is gusting, a chain bridge, you can't see the other side, and there is a bottomless abyss below, it's much more terrifying and gloomy than here, these two places Tianqi has broken through, how can Tianqi climb here, so Xiao Ye put away his smile.

Tianqi continued to explain: "I just think it's a little weird here, I just used my divine sense to look inside, but I didn't expect that my divine sense was actually swallowed, and there was a burst of cold qi, this kind of cold qi can actually penetrate deep into my body, fortunately, I picked up the "Thunder God Jue" in time and quenched it."

Xiao Ye also used his divine sense to look inside, and indeed as Tianqi said, the divine sense has gone and there is no return, and there is also a cold breath attacking, but this cold air has not yet reached the range of Xiao Ye, and it was purified by Xiao Ye's soul power.

"Hey, it seems that there are all kinds of sounds inside", Xiaoya frowned, "There are human voices, there are the voices of beasts, and there are also the voices of some monsters".

Tianqi listened carefully, there are really various sounds in it, although the sound is small, but as long as you listen carefully, you can hear it.

"It's really strange, there are only skeletons in it, how can some people speak?"

Xiao Ye thought about it for a while, and said with understanding: "This should be a place of resentful spirits."

"The Land of Resentful Spirits?" After Xiao Ye's reminder, Tianqi seemed to think of something.

If there are more people dying in a place of spiritual veins, the anger increases, and the grievances of the deceased before death are squeezed by the anger and remain in the body of the deceased.

The resentful spirits are generally not very strong, and these resentful spirits will slowly and automatically dissipate between the heavens and the earth, but occasionally some resentful spirits can survive for a long time, the older the resentful spirits, the stronger the strength, this Skull Mountain Range does not know how many years, there are powerful resentful spirits in it.

The voice that Tianqi and Xiaoye heard should be from the resentful spirit, this is their grievance before death, and naturally there are words before death.

However, these are all speculations, and there are still many doubts, and the actual situation is not necessarily the case.

"If it is really the land of resentful spirits, this place stretches for thousands of miles, and I am afraid that there are an army of resentful spirits in it, so it is better to provoke less", Tianqi said seriously.

"Well, but since this place is so gloomy, it is a place of extreme yin, but you see that the leylines here are not broken, it is the so-called harmony of yin and yang, so there must be a place of extreme yang nearby, Tianqi, you look at the map, if you can find this place of extreme yang, let's go there and walk for a while, maybe it will be good for your spiritual cultivation", Xiao Ye hurriedly said.

Tianqi thought that Xiao Ye's analysis was reasonable, and spread out the map to take a look, and sure enough, he found that on the back of the Skull Mountains, there was a Flame Mountain Range, which was the land of the extreme sun.

"Look, the main peak of the Flame Mountain Range is the Flame Mountain," Tianqi pointed to the map.

"Tianqi, your main attribute is the fire attribute, and the land of the Flame Mountain Range is suitable for your spiritual cultivation, so we might as well take this opportunity to take a trip." Xiao Ye Jian yì Road.

Tianqi also felt that what Xiao Ye said was reasonable, and now that he was concentrating on cultivating the "Thunder God Formula" and "Fengxing Jue", he had snubbed his fire attribute, which was not good.

After the two of them made up their minds, they searched for blood thistles around the Skull Mountains, but did not go deep inside.

In such an extremely yin place, blood thistle is not rare, and in about a stick of incense, Xiao Ye found a blood thistle, and it was a large blood thistle that was some years old.

However, just as Tianqi was about to leave, a mutation occurred, and in the depths of the Skull Mountains, suddenly, a pitch-black demonic aura soared, becoming bigger and bigger, until it reached a hundred zhang, rushing towards Tianqi and Xiaoye.

I saw that the place where the black demonic qi passed, the grass and green trees on the ground, were all deprived of vitality and died, and some beasts that couldn't dodge were immediately turned into dead corpses, and their vitality was robbed.

Tianqi and Xiaoye's faces changed greatly, this demonic qi was erratic, and it could actually suck away the vitality of the surrounding creatures, it was terrifying.

Especially Xiao Ye, when he saw this thing, his face became very hideous, and he hugged his head with both hands, as if his head was abnormally painful.

"Xiao Ye, what's wrong with you?" Tianqi hurriedly picked up Xiao Ye, kept flying away, and kept comforting her, but fortunately, the demonic energy didn't chase long before it retreated, which scared Tianqi into a cold sweat.

But at this time, Xiao Ye in Tianqi's arms had already fainted with a headache.

Such an accident made Tianqi's heart completely confused, and he didn't know what to do, so he could only find a safe place, landed, took out the purple gold sword, restored it to the purple gold dragon tripod, and placed Xiao Ye in the purple gold dragon tripod.

Tianqi had never seen Xiao Ye so panicked, and he was very worried in his heart, and he kept by Xiao Ye's side.

About half an hour later, Xiao Ye seemed to wake up from a nightmare, cold sweat kept breaking out on her forehead, if it wasn't for Tianqi to help her wipe it, she would definitely become a 'soup chicken'.

"Xiao Ye, you finally woke up, scared me to death?" Tianqi saw Xiao Ye wake up, and his hanging heart also fell.

"I remember", Xiao Ye took a few breaths, looked around a little nervously, didn't care about Tianqi at all, and kept muttering to himself.

"What do you remember?" Tianqi hugged Xiao Ye tightly and said with concern.

Xiao Ye seemed to be awakened by Tianqi's action, staring at Tianqi with some helplessness, and exhaled deeply, as if he was relieved to see Tianqi.

Then Xiao Ye stretched out his arm, wrapped his arms around Tianqi's neck, and hugged Tianqi tightly.

"Okay, okay, it's okay, I'm here", Tianqi gently patted Xiaoye's back, and kept comforting her.

"Tianqi, I remember", Xiao Ye said with some sobs: "When the Holy Ancestor crusaded against the undead, the Holy Ancestor originally had the upper hand, but suddenly a demonic qi came out of the undead and devoured the Holy Ancestor, but fortunately, all of a sudden, the sky descended divine thunder and repelled the demonic energy, and the Holy Ancestor was able to come out, but Rao is so, the Holy Ancestor's vitality was devoured, and the combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, and finally it was defeated."

"What! In a moment, the vitality of the dignified generation of demon emperors was devoured! It's terrifying", Tianqi was terrified when he heard it, and he was so frightened that this demonic qi was too terrifying, but fortunately he escaped today.

"It's good that the demonic qi didn't chase after me today", Tianqi couldn't help but gasp and said.

"No, the group of demonic qi we saw today is not very powerful, not the one that the Holy Ancestor encountered back then", Xiao Ye sobbed.

"Don't worry, whether it's or not, when I become strong in the future, I will definitely destroy all these unclean things and avenge the Holy Ancestor", Tianqi swore a promise.

Tianqi gently pushed Xiaoye away, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes for her, and comforted her: "Okay, don't think about the past."

Although Tianqi is not very good at comforting people, but he has a sincere face, Xiaoye looked at Tianqi's sincere eyes, couldn't help but hang tears, hummed lightly, nodded, and lay quietly in Tianqi's arms, and the two stopped talking.
