"Bang!" With a bang, a battle for survival broke out in the thick fog.

The reason for this is that one of the two sides of the battle is a young man in a green shirt who is holding a sword and constantly splitting out golden sword energy, and the other is a long-legged monster bird with golden feathers and wings that are as bright as real gold.

The battle lasted for a long time, and there were countless big rocks and trees that were cut on the way, and both sides were torn apart by sharp energy, and the blood flowed, and they couldn't help but face up to the strength of the opponent.

The boy did not pursue, but looked at the strange bird and nodded slightly, and also took a step back to signal, the strange bird let out a long roar, waved its blade-like wings and took a few steps back, and suddenly turned around and disappeared into the mist.

It wasn't until he couldn't hear the chirping of the strange bird that the boy exhaled lightly.

"The Split Python Crane has cultivated like this, and it can be regarded as a long insight. Ling Qingyun said this, and was also glad that the opponent took the initiative to retreat, although he had the confidence to kill the opponent in a real battle, but it was bound to consume a lot, and in this fog that could encounter danger at any time, every bit of physical strength and true qi was the guarantee of life.

"Brother Qingyun rest, put the medicine on first. Jin Xuanxuan held the mashed herbs and applied them directly to Ling Qingyun's wound, her movements were very light and attentive.

"It's okay to be injured, it's good to rest for a while, it's just that this sword ......" Ling Qingyun caressed the sword, his fingertips touched the crack a little painfully, this Qingfeng was built by the senior Niu Lei, it can be described as the best in the dark iron weapon, he has a deep affection since he first entered the stone spirit realm, this sword has been born and died with him, there have been many cracks, and it is not uncommon for the fracture to be broken, but fortunately it has been repaired.

But in the depths of this dense forest, it is really difficult for him to repair the rift without a forger and no materials, so he can only carefully use some maintenance skills and reorganize and activate the runes on the sword, which will be on the way for the time being, but if there are a few more battles of this level, this sword must be broken.

"It's really not good, my sword can still be used, but the quality is not as good as Brother Qingyun's. Jin Xuanxuan said.

"Then you won't be able to protect yourself. Ling Qingyun frowned: "It's not that time yet...... We have to see if we can find materials such as dark iron, and if it doesn't work, we can use animal bones and iron ......sandalwood."

Of course, a sword repaired like that is bound to have a big flaw and cannot fully exert the power of his swordsmanship and true qi, but what is there to find fault with at this time?

"In short, Brother Qingyun has something that needs me, and I will do whatever I want. Jin Xuanxuan pursed her red lips, and her soft voice revealed amazing firmness.

"So do I, let's go, find a place to rest. Ling Qingyun took the girl's palm and continued to move forward in the fog with vigilance.

Originally, Ling Qingyun was planning to find a safe place with Jin Xuanxuan, survive the fog period, and collide like a fly without a head when the direction was not determined, but when they found a safe area, they were attacked by demon beasts in two consecutive days, and the same was true when they changed places, and even the attacking demon beasts became stronger and stronger, Ling Qingyun only pulled Jin Xuanxuan on the road helplessly.

"According to a legend in Senzhou, the fog is a punishment from the god of nature, and whoever falls into the fog will have to endure the test of life and death. Ling Qingyun recalled and pondered: "Therefore, wanting to hide somewhere and spend it safely will only anger nature and cause greater disasters......

"Could it be that there is really a punishment from nature or gods?" Ling Qingyun didn't believe it very much, he knew that gods were real, there were gods such as mountain gods, river gods, and desert gods who were sacrificed by people, and sometimes manifested miracles, but he knew that kind of gods were just special beings who were achieved by absorbing the power of faith, and the strength depended on faith, and if he wanted to create a fog of such a scale frequently, he was only afraid that he had the strength of the ethereal realm, and there was no such powerful god in the world.

He prefers that the fog is a natural phenomenon, in line with the laws of heaven and earth, not controlled by a certain consciousness, and there is no natural test or punishment, so that the continuous attacks need to be explained.

"Maybe it's because staying in a certain area for a long time has caused the smell to accumulate, and the demon beast is regarded as the lord of the territory, so that he frequently challenges and wants to replace it?

After walking for half an hour, Ling Qingyun and Jin Xuanxuan finally found a suitable place to stay, and after checking to make sure that there was no danger, they took out the animal meat, animal teeth, leaves, herbs, stones and other things collected on the road for processing, preparing food, mending clothes, grinding medicines, polishing hidden weapons, everything was technical work, and the results of the training of each field of training came in handy completely.

"Already...... It should be the seventh day......" Jin Xuanxuan, who was sewing clothes, suddenly muttered, looking up a little confused: it was a gray sky with lush foliage, even shrouded in dense fog, and the sun, moon and stars could not be seen, this kind of environment not only confused the sense of space, but also confused the sense of time.

"yes, it's the seventh day. Ling Qingyun replied with some heaviness, and then neither of them spoke.

Seven days is not a long time, it is fleeting for cultivation, and it is too short to enjoy the scenery of Senzhou and taste the food, but the seven days in the fog are undoubtedly torment, these seven days they trek in the forest full of unknowns, and they will suffer at least three attacks every day, they have eaten poisonous fruits by mistake, encountered miasma, fell into the swamp, and fought to the death with unheard of demon beasts......

After all, Ling Qingyun was the first day of Nanming, and he couldn't help the strong enemies who could make other Shi Lu Realm die ten times, but every battle was a physical and mental drain, and sometimes he was poisoned, seriously injured, and consumed too much but he didn't dare to use the pill, so he could only use his luck to resolve it in a dangerous situation, because every pill meant a little hope of survival.

They could be sure that they had entered the mysterious Araki Forest, or they would not have encountered so many poisonous insects, beasts, and dangers, but what was even more unbearable was that they had not encountered any other humans in the past seven days—corpses at most.

At this time, Ling Qingyun would be glad that he was walking with Jin Xuanxuan, otherwise he could only bear this loneliness, but now they can get along with each other and cheer each other on, but even if the two of them go together, this kind of life is still unbearable, you must know that the fog lasts for a month at the shortest......

"It's not uncommon to grind for a month or even months in the deep mountains, but this fog ......" Ling Qingyun sighed secretly, if he hadn't been there in person, he couldn't imagine that the fog without direct lethality could force people to this point, just in terms of the danger of the battle, these days were not as good as the experience of Mingyue Island, but in Mingyue Island, he still knew the direction, as long as he kept walking to the periphery of the island, he could finally get out of trouble, but in this fog, he didn't know the south, south, west, northwest, and the depth of the forest, so he could only escape from his original station day after day, beware of surprise attacks from the fog at any time, and sigh for the bones of his fellow clan.

He questioned himself a little, when did he become so mentally fragile, and he couldn't even face this little dilemma?

"You're not vulnerable!" a voice in his heart was serious and firm: "The fog itself is anomalous, it is hallucinating, it alludes to fear and madness, countless monks died tragically that day, and you have always been calm, and you have not fallen into the illusion so far. ”

This was the voice of the moon spirit, and Ling Qingyun reluctantly sent back a thought: "What if what I see so far is a dream?"

Yue Ling was slightly silent: "I can't verify it, I can't deny it, but even if everything is an illusion, you should persist in living in the illusion." ”

"You're right. Ling Qingyun responded, and was a little afraid, he was actually denying himself, denying reality, and sprouting the will to live and die? In fact, there was only a trace of that thought, but it seemed to be exaggerated and expanded by some influence......

"What the hell are you......" Ling Qingyun suddenly muttered to herself, startling Jin Xuanxuan.

"Brother Qingyun?"

"Nothing, I wondered where this fog came from, why the Araki Forest had this phenomenon, and what its significance. Ling Qingyun said, and then smiled self-deprecatingly: "It's a demon, now the most important thing is to save your life, why do you want to do so much?"

"I can't even think about it. Jin Xuanxuan sighed lightly, and the more she thought about it, the more persistent and obsessed she was with this thing, and if she continued, it would even become a nightmare, which was crazy.

"My mood fluctuates so much, I am so irritable that this fog has become a magic barrier. Ling Qingyun couldn't help but think, "Why should I regard the fog as an enemy?"

"No, cultivation and heaven fighting, heaven and fog can be enemies, and there are thousands of differences in tactics and ways to win. Ling Qingyun frowned, he seemed to be stuck in a dead loop, fighting with his opponent in his imagination and all failed, wanting to vent this fierce emotion!

Stop! He roared in his heart, and then he shook his whole body and broke out in a cold sweat.

“...... Brother Qingyun?" Jin Xuanxuan saw Ling Qingyun's face turn blue and white for a while, and there seemed to be thunder and fire shining in her eyes, so she was very worried.

"It doesn't matter, I'm relieved. Ling Qingyun gasped for breath, with palpitations on his face: "This fog is really terrifying, trying to lure me into a frenzy with my pride, the danger is better than the record, comparable to a legend." ”

"Some of the legends may be true, but we need to be more vigilant, the fog is deeper than we think. Speaking of this, Ling Qingyun realized that he had lost his words.

"It doesn't matter. As if reading Ling Qingyun's thoughts, Jin Xuanxuan shook her head lightly with a smile: "Brother Qingyun's telling me about these things has made me feel a lot more at ease, if I have been kept in the dark, it will be pitiful." ”

"That's how it should be. Ling Qingyun nodded, a little surprised to find that Jin Xuanxuan seemed to have stepped out of the shadows, showing a smile, and was regaining her confidence and demeanor.

In the fog and confusion, this kind of self-confidence was more precious than the elixir, Ling Qingyun couldn't help but chuckle, and his heart was much more steady.

Not long after, a beast's roar came from not far away, and at the same time there was a shout, strange but intimate, this is the shout of a human being!

"Someone!" Ling Qingyun and Jin Xuanxuan glanced at each other, and suddenly cheered up!
