Chapter 70: How to Go Home

Due to being in the depths of Dongyun Mountain, Tian Jihong did not think in the direction of human monks at the beginning, but the current footprints fully show that there must have been other monks in this place before him. This is also a good explanation for what is happening in front of him: most of the owners of this place were killed by humans and collected as trophies, and his body was not dragged away, indicating that the other party must have a space treasure to contain the body of this fierce beast, and the bloodstains of beasts all over the place show that the monk's strength is also extremely terrifying, not to mention that he did not suffer any damage after a battle, and he did not even leave many traces of his foot here, it is obvious that his body is very good.

Judging from the bloodstains that Tian Jihong had pursued all the way before, this fierce beast should have escaped to the depths of the cave after being injured first, and then something else happened, and it was killed by its opponent when it hurriedly turned around and rushed back to this place. Thinking of this, Tian Jihong immediately understood the reason why he couldn't find the exit, the human monks were probably worried that the blood stains here would attract the covetousness of other spirit beasts in the outside world, so they casually brought stones to seal the entrance of the cave to prevent the smell of blood from spreading.

This suddenly increased Tianjihong's confidence, and since the exit must exist, it was only a matter of time before he found it himself. After surveying the entire circle of stone walls, Tian Jihong locked on three suspicious locations, which seemed to him to be deliberately covered by the outer barriers, all of which could be the exits of this passage. After investigating one by one, Tian Jihong finally used his fist to tear a gap between the rocks covering the entrance of the cave with his fist, and saw the bright sunlight again.

After wandering in the cave where the light of day had been seen for nearly two hours, Tian Jihong, who had seen the light of day, had almost broken his eyes by the light, and for a while he had to raise his hand to cover his eyes. When his vision gradually recovered, Tian Jihong could vaguely see the environment around him. At this time, he was standing at the top of a slope halfway up the mountain, still a short distance from the foot of the mountain farther away. About fifty meters below it is a lush valley, which, as far as the valley leads, extends to the right in the direction of the vast basin that I had seen at high altitude.

The mountain range above the cave exit behind him didn't look too high, and it was clear that Tianjihong had come here from a mountain peak farther away along the ridgeline. Tian Jihong tried to distinguish the location when he came, but at this moment he was already in the deep mountains, nearly ten miles away from the place where he entered the cave at noon. What's more, the area where he is now seems to be the back of the eastern peak, and now he can see the coastline on the east side dozens of miles away when he looks out through the ridgeline; Therefore, he could only roughly judge that the higher place behind the mountain in front of him was the mountain stream he had set foot on when he came.

After vaguely determining the direction, Tian Jihong stared at the peaking mountain in front of him, and no one who looked ahead at it more than ten miles away could not imagine that there was a terrifying existence sleeping at the bottom of this mountain peak that was enough to make the martial world tremble. Until now, Tian Jihong still has palpitations when he recalls the scene of just escaping death, if he really angered such a terrible monster just now, not to mention that his life is difficult to protect, if he can't find those top sect forces in the martial arts world to make a move, I'm afraid that this entire Dongsheng region will face the danger of being swept away.

Although the depths of this mountain range are full of dangers, one good thing is that the spiritual energy in this area is extremely abundant, which is comparable to the spirit gathering magic arrays specially arranged in many sects. A few hours ago, Tian Jihong was on the top of a cliff thousands of meters away, and he could feel the dense spiritual energy between the basins slowly rising from the bottom to the top like steam, and the flow of spiritual power in his body was also accelerating; And now that you're in the core area, that feeling becomes even stronger.

At this time, he could perceive that the cultivation method in his body was actually operating on its own without his control, and at the same time, the efficiency of his spiritual energy absorption was even beyond the rate of spiritual power transformation between his muscles and veins, and the abundant spiritual energy was constantly wandering around his body, sweeping away the fatigue after a series of previous experiences. If it weren't for the fact that Tian Jihong didn't have a suitable elixir at hand to assist his cultivation, he almost felt that he could immediately break through to the next realm.

It's a pity that without the guidance of the master, Tian Jihong still suppressed the idea of breaking through on the spot. In terms of cultivation, he still has an unusually cautious attitude without any experience; Now his physical strength has recovered to the peak, but the area he is in is still not something he can take lightly, and how to find a way home is the first thing he has to consider.

At present, the direction of his left hand leads to the sea in the distance, and although there is no obstacle on the way, in the absence of boats, it is difficult for Tianjihong to bypass the right end and reach the peak in the sea even if he reaches the shore. Before climbing the mountain, Tian Jihong had seen that there were steep and dangerous peaks that stretched for dozens of miles near the coast in the east, and it was obviously a fool's dream to cross this area along the coastline and go home.

It is indeed a good choice to return along the original road of the front mountain, and it is also the closest road to home. However, one of the biggest problems is that if you go back the way you came, you will have to face the cliff where you have to climb all the way from the bottom of the mountain stream to descend when you arrived.

Without the help of ropes, it is impossible for Tianjihong to climb nearly a thousand meters between the cliffs, and even if he can do it, it will take at least a few days. And if you choose to travel between the mountains on the left, you will inevitably have to pass through the area where the underground existence is hidden, and as soon as he thinks of his previous experience, Tian Jihong immediately dismissed this idea from his mind, and instead of risking the horror of the existence again, he should climb the cliff with his bare hands.

In this case, the only option left is to slowly explore the basin area along the valley on the right-hand side, and then turn around to the vicinity of the peak and find a new path to cross the mountain near the base of the mountain. Tian Jihong didn't know anything about the mysterious core on the right, but for now it was really the only way he could detour the way back; What's more, Tian Jihong had noticed that the footprints found in the cave also extended to the right side of the valley at his feet, and he himself knew nothing about the environment, so it might be safer to follow the human footprints.

In fact, Tian Jihong did not fail to take into account the risks, because he was in the deep mountains, and he had heard Master mention that there were often outlaws in this mountain range, and he also knew that if he blindly followed the footprints to chase down, it would be a blessing or a curse, and he would not necessarily say that if he was not careful, he would have to give his life here.

But he also understood that the basin on the right side that seemed to be like a fairyland, was actually tantamount to a tiger's den in Longtan for a little monk like himself who had just set foot in the cultivation for less than a day. You must know that in the deep mountains, spirit beasts often inhabit in groups, this has long been a well-known common sense in the martial arts world, once they encounter a battle in the basin, they will never attack themselves like before. And if an entire group of people is provoked in this deep mountain, not to mention a little monk like Tianjihong, it is a whole caravan, and it will be difficult to escape the annihilation of the entire army in the face of the simultaneous attack from dozens of powerful spirit beasts.

In addition, his own strength at the beginning of the martial arts was already at the bottom of the monks and spirit beasts, and the spirit beasts in the basin were not as easy to deal with as the Dongyun wolf that he had contacted on the periphery. Now think about the strength of the Dongyun wolf, they can only barely make a living in the barren mountain stream, and they have not been killed by more powerful spirit beasts In addition to being in a remote location, I am afraid that it is also the existence of the underground that has a deterrent effect on other powerful creatures, and the Dongyun wolf of Zhiqu has erased the traces of his activities at the platform at the entrance of the cave every time, so that he can settle down among the cliffs.

And the other spirit beasts in the basin will not have such luck, the races that can survive tenaciously in the core area of this Dongyun Mountain all have their own advantages, and their strength is definitely extraordinary. Therefore, rather than facing the various threats in the jungle alone, Tian Jihong is still more willing to bet on finding the same kind of body. Even if he had bad intentions when he found the other party, at least as a human being, he could still communicate with him, and a poor monk like him couldn't get anything for himself even if he was poor. And if you are lucky enough to meet the help of a well-wisher, you may be able to take this opportunity to get out of the current predicament immediately, and even find other opportunities in the valley.

After making up his mind, Tian Jihong did not linger too long, and followed the footprints towards the valley below the slope. To his surprise, when he went down to the entrance of the valley forest, the traces on the ground suddenly became messy, and after some careful identification, Tian Jihong noticed that there were suddenly more footprints of two other people here, it looked like a group of three people had stopped here for a long time, but only one of them had reached the hillside to deal with the spirit beast in the cave.

The increase in the number of footprints is a good thing for Tian Jihong, although he still can't determine the origin of the other party, but at least the traces he traces are more convenient to identify. Looking at the current footprints are very clear, it means that this group of people will not leave this place for too long, with these three people in front of them to open the way for themselves, thinking that the spirit beasts on the road ahead should be cleaned up, it is relatively safe.
