Volume 1 Asking the Present Chapter 39 [Chance and Danger]
When he opened his eyes again, Jiang Ning was alone beside a vast lake, the water of the lake was crystal clear, and unknown swimming fish could be seen playing in the water, with brilliant markings emitting a faint light, making the whole lake seem to be glowing even in the daytime.
"The entire Tianyang Secret Realm seems to be a deserted world. Jiang Ning was surprised.
What I saw in my eyes was really shocking, the other side of the lake was desolate, what should have been a magnificent palace and palace, but now there is rubble everywhere, only the ruins of the broken walls remain, revealing a vicissitudes and ancient atmosphere.
The aura here is about the same as that of the outside world, and it is not as far beyond the outside world as they say. With doubts, Jiang Ning walked into the ruins, stepped on the rubble, and made a "click, click" sound, there were two huge stone statues falling in front of him, one holding a spear in one hand was already half a section left, and the other left hand was gone, and the right hand was raised high above the head, the two stone statues were cracked, and the upper body exposed on the ruins was estimated to be more than forty meters high.
Jiang Ning jumped a few times, and then stood in the palm of the stone statue with his right hand raised high, which was the highest point around, just enough to observe the surrounding situation. After entering the secret realm, as Shi Ziming said, people are scattered in different directions, and the most important thing now is to ensure their own safety.
"There seems to be an upside-down mountain in the lake. ”
Standing on the shore before, I couldn't see that there was a dark shadow in the center of the lake, like an inverted triangular peak, all under the lake, and there was something shining below the bottom of the lake.
The long sword in his hand was unsheathed, Jiang Ning stepped on it, preparing to go there to see what was going on, maybe it was a chance.
Near the lake, the closer you get to the center, the more intense the aura becomes, and you can feel wisps of aura evaporating from the lake.
Wrong!
Jiang Ning hovered in the air and slowly descended to the surface of the water, and found that the aura here was so strong that it was almost turning into water, but most of them were floating on the water surface of this realm, and they all converged towards the depths of the bottom of the lake.
Just as Jiang Ning was about to reach out and touch the lake, he suddenly rose into the air with his sword.
Whoa!
A huge black shadow flipped over, broke through the water, splashed in all directions, and what caught my eye was a six-meter-long brownish-black strange fish with red eyes, fins covered with barbs, and covered in scales, some like the scales of pangolins.
The blood basin's mouth opened, revealing two rows of sharp teeth up and down, and it bit at the location where Jiang Ning was before, and the speed was very amazing. Fortunately, Jiang Ning noticed the subtle changes in the water waves on the lake at that time, and took the sword into the air in time.
The strange fish bit into the air and plunged back into the water, and the lake instantly calmed down again. Jiang Ning looked down at the lake, the place where he was at this time was still some distance from the center, and the lake was no longer cyan but blue, bottomless.
When he arrived at the center of the lake, Jiang Ning's imperial sword hovered about fifteen meters from the surface of the lake, the distance from the previous strange fish jumping out of the water was about ten meters, and there was indeed no big mountain under the water.
"Such strong aura fluctuations have been sucked into the bottom of this mountain. ”
There was a faint white light flickering under the dark blue water, Jiang Ning didn't think about going down to the bottom to find out, his current cultivation went down, it was estimated that he would probably not be able to come up, just the feeling that the previous strange fish brought him was very dangerous, and there was no guarantee that there would be an even more terrifying existence in it.
In the distance, a young man was galloping on the lake with a flying sword, and a series of huge splashes flew towards Jiang Ning's side.
"Haha, there are so many spiritual energy, the lake here can be compared to the average spiritual spring, I don't want to go out if I can. ”
The young man enjoyed the baptism of the lake, but the next moment, he couldn't laugh. A strange fish opened its mouth from under his feet and was about to leap out of the water, expecting to swallow the young man in one gulp.
The young man did not know whether it was luck or whether he reacted quickly and narrowly avoided danger. Just as he was about to ascend to the heights, a monster fish of even greater size leaped out of the water, its mouth full of sharp teeth and a cold metallic sheen, and even though the young man had already had the strength to rise, he was bitten off half of his body.
"Ahh
A terrible scream rang out, and at the last moment, the young man used the spirit rune, and a beam of light emerged from the spirit rune, wrapping the rest of his upper body out of the secret realm. There is only a piece of bright red left, which is mixed with some viscera and the like, even if you get out of the secret realm, you will definitely not be able to live.
Jiang Ning witnessed this tragic scene, and he didn't have time to remind the young man in the distance, he didn't hesitate to fly high and stay away from here.
Beneath the surface of the lake, the figure of a behemoth flashed away.
When you get out of the lake and the ruined realm, you enter a world full of greenery, with ancient trees towering to the sky, old vines entangled, and a rich aura paving the surface, which is many times higher than the outside world, which can be called a holy place for cultivation.
Jiang Ning tried to retreat, but his aura instantly decreased, as if there was an invisible barrier to isolate it.
"What a strange place. ”
The Tianyang Secret Realm is only opened once in a hundred years, and it is full of spiritual energy, and a hundred years is enough to give birth to a lot of elixirs, spiritual fruits and other treasures, and there may even be a medicine king who condenses a large amount of life essence.
Regarding the types and effects of elixirs, Jiang Ning also worked hard in the Lingyin Sect. When he was in the town before, Jiang Ning had already known a lot of herbs, and at this time, there were many of them, but these herbs were of no use to the monk. Entering the Tianyang Secret Realm to pick a useless herb is simply a waste of time and space, only a fool will do it, so it is better to collect some lake water before, Jiang Ning is only interested in elixirs now.
Ever since he arrived at the realm, the golden spiritual sea in Jiang Ning's natal qi mansion has been turning, and he has been cultivating all the time.
Walking slowly in it, I encountered some demon beasts in the Enlightenment Realm and some ordinary beasts, all of which quickly fled after sensing Jiang Ning's breath. The Tianyang Secret Realm is indeed like a special small world, with its own ecosystem, and many lives are bred in it, some of which Jiang Ning has never seen or heard of in the outside world.
Along the way, he has found several elixirs that have been counted, which are indispensable auxiliaries for refining one or two grade pills, all of which he has put into the Sumeru ring, and can be resold to the sect when he turns around, and in Jiang Ning's eyes, these are all spirit stones.
"There is actually a requiem ginseng, which is an elixir that can be taken directly. ”
Jiang Ning saw the treasure, carefully picked it out of a stone cliff gap, requiem ginseng, the stem is in the shape of a cylinder, the whole is red and somewhat transparent, there are a few leaves on the stem, and there is a bright red bud on the top. It is a good thing to calm the mind and calm the soul, for high-level monks to break the mirror, it can play a role in reducing the danger of the invasion of demons, and it also has a strong detoxification effect, and the value of those who need it will not be less than a sea viewing artifact.
Jiang Ning couldn't help grinning and made a fortune.
"Bang"
Suddenly, a nearby tree broke off from the middle, and then someone kicked Jiang Ning like a huge arrow, making a sneering sound that broke through the air.
Jiang Ning didn't turn around, the long sword in his hand came out of its sheath on its own, blocking a few steps behind him, and the big tree was split straight from the middle, turning into two halves and slashing on both sides of Jiang Ning's side.
A figure, glowing all over, with a compelling breath, had already been handed to Jiang Ning's eyes, and the runes on the palm were intertwined.
The previous big tree was just a temptation and a trick, and this was a killer move.
Jiang Ning directly punched out, the golden fist and the opponent's palm together, the person who came flew out directly, and the footsteps landed quickly and jumped up quickly, disappearing into the dense forest.
I don't want to provoke anyone for no reason, but I'm not afraid of things. ”
A blue-white rainbow chased straight in the direction of the person's escape, and Jiang Ning used the dragon path body technique to directly resist the wind and follow closely.
In the dense forest, the young man who failed to sneak attack was like a mandrill, jumping between the branches, hearing the strange noise behind him, and when he looked back, he was almost not frightened.
The young man only hated the lack of two legs, and he didn't want to use the spirit rune to get out of the secret realm like this.
The flying sword had already caught up with him in a few breaths, and without giving the young man the slightest chance to react, he accelerated and pinned him to a tree that he had reflexively expected to block the flying sword.
Jiang Ning floated to the ground and looked at the young man who was stabbed from the shoulder by the flying sword.
"This brother, if you have something to say, don't do it, I know it's wrong, I'm sorry, I can compensate you with spirit stones and elixirs. ”
The young man grinned in pain, and his right hand was already holding the teleportation rune, as long as Jiang Ning didn't kill him, he wouldn't use it, after all, this was the first day to enter the Tianyang Secret Realm, and if he went out like this, wouldn't it be a loss.
Jiang Ning sneered, is this a matter of compensation or not? It's like a person who is about to use a knife to commit murder, and he didn't stab the other party with a knife, but he found that he turned around and held a machete in his hand, and immediately threw the knife in his hand, as if nothing had happened, apologized, and the compensation was over.
This is not right, at least Jiang Ning thinks it is very wrong.
"You use the spirit rune to get out of the secret realm. ”
The young man was unwilling, and seeing that Jiang Ning didn't do it directly, he said in a tone with a sense of discussion: "Little brother, give me a chance, I am willing to take out a thousand spirit stones and five elixirs as compensation." ”
The flying sword slowly left the young man's shoulder, and the young man fell to the ground along the trunk of the tree, and before he could realize the mood of turning the corner, the flying sword came again! This time it stabbed him directly in the heart.
"You..."
He used the spirit rune to escape from the secret realm very decisively, the lesser of the two evils, more important than the chance creation or life in the secret realm, and he was extremely resentful in his heart, what kind of person is this, he is so unreasonable.
The flying sword hovered an inch in front of where the young man had disappeared, and then swept back into Jiang Ning's hand.
"Have you seen enough of hiding on the fork of the tree in front of you?"
After Jiang Ning finished saying this, he looked at a giant tree, there was silence in the dense forest, only the fallen leaves disappeared with the wind.
A moment later, a thick sword qi slashed towards Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning instinctively raised his sword and swung out a sword qi, after passing through the preaching of Li Zicheng's predecessors in the back mountain of the sect, he could already do it. The sword qi and the sword qi collided together, Jiang Ning's first dissipated, and that sword qi still had the strength to slash over.
Unexpectedly, the other party's shot was to slash out the sword qi, Jiang Ning vaguely felt that this was not an ordinary sword qi, but had "meaning" in it, this person was very strong!
