Chapter 24: Encountering the Enemy
After about a stick of incense, the three of them landed on a small spiritual vein thirty miles east of Hanjiabao.
Scattered spirit tools can still be seen in the ore vein, not far away is the collapsed house, there are still faint dark red blood stains on the ground, and a paw print with a length can be seen at the entrance of the mine, which is more than three feet deep into the rock formation.
Yuan Qing patrolled around the veins and came back and said: "What the head of the family said is good, look at the traces on the ground, when there is more than one demon beast, the guard disciple has not even been able to release the magic weapon, I think it will be killed with one blow." ”
Feng Xifeng turned around and said to the two of them after coming back: "Looking at the claw marks on the ground, it seems to be a snake demon or a wolf demon, if my expectation is good, it should be going north." ”
Han Xin nodded at this time and said, "The summons sent by the little sister earlier also said that she wanted to explore the north. ”
As he spoke, he took out a number of small blue and red beads and handed them to the two of them, "This is a thunder fire bead, it is a mortal firearm, it can explode after it is popped out in just three breaths, and then the fire will soar into the sky, although the power is limited, but the sound is like thunder, and it has been heard within a radius of ten miles." The three of us then split up and searched north, and if we found them, we would use them as news. ”
Yuan Qing and Feng Xifeng took the beads and walked north to the sky, and Han Xin also released the spirit boat and flew low in the middle of the two of them.
Along the way, Yuan Qing's consciousness was greatly opened, covering a radius of one mile, although it was not as clear as the palm of the palm within the range of a hundred zhang, but it could be immediately detected if there was a slight disturbance.
It didn't take long for a long howl to be heard, and Yuan Qing and Feng Xifeng hurriedly turned around and rushed towards the howling. When he arrived, he saw Han Xin standing in front of a lush pine tree, with a small cyan sword printed on the trunk, the tip of the sword facing due north.
Han Xin didn't look at the two, looked at the north and said: "This is my family crest, the little sister must be aware of it, and the demon beast must be in the north." ”
After speaking, take the lead and go. Yuan Qing and Feng Xifeng didn't say anything, but just urged with mana and followed closely.
After flying out for more than ten miles, the three of them accelerated abruptly, and finally stopped above a large clearing, under their feet was a mess, within a radius of one mile were all broken branches and broken trees, and the ground was full of claw marks and ravines that were a little deep, and there were huge craters scattered in them, in which the traces of ice and fire were intertwined and fused. Not far from the pit, there were several demon wolf corpses scattered, some of which were split in two by sharp weapons, and some were charred black, all of them were about the size of a zhang, with sharp teeth and claws.
The three of them didn't speak, Yuan Qing and Feng Xifeng went to check the demon wolf corpse, while Han Xin stood in place, his consciousness widened, and swept the area inch by inch.
Suddenly, his expression moved, and then the imperial weapon landed on the west side of the clearing near the edge, stretched out his hand, and the dark red magic weapon fragments floated up dottedly.
Yuan Qing and Feng Xifeng saw Han Xin's abnormal movements, and rushed over one after another, Han Xin said slowly in a deep voice: "This is a fragment of the fire ring, and it is the high-grade magic weapon I gave my little sister when she built the foundation. After speaking, he looked at the two of them and asked, "What clues can the two junior brothers find?"
Yuan Qing just shook his head, Feng Xifeng said lightly: "I have explored several demon wolf corpses, all of them are green and white, they should belong to the same family; ”
Han Xin's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, Yuan Qing was calm on the surface, but he secretly admired Feng Xifeng in his heart.
Leaning less, Han Xin said: "I will wait for the split action, no matter what the result is, we need to return here in an hour." After saying that, he released the spirit boat and galloped all the way in the northwest direction.
Feng Xifeng looked at Yuan Qing at this time, and actually took the initiative to say: "Senior brother might as well search to the south, maybe this Senior Sister Han fled back without being defeated and found a hidden place to hide, but it is still unknown." ”
Although Yuan Qing felt a little strange, he didn't think much about it, and Edgeworth headed south.
After Yuan Qing left, Feng Xifeng took out a transmission note and whispered a few words, seeing that the talisman turned into fire and disappeared into the sky, then he released the magic weapon and flew to the northeast.
In just a moment, deep in the hills near Hanjiabao, a white figure grabbed it with a void hand, and a firelight turned into a talisman in the palm of his hand.
After a few breaths, the flames dissipated, and then with an order, the three black shadows bowed slightly and broke through the air. Soon after, the white figure summoned a crane with white feathers and a red top, and the crane followed leisurely.
Han Xin flew out for dozens of miles all the way, swept his consciousness along the way, and finally found nothing, silently calculated the time, sighed lightly, and set off to return.
Halfway through the journey, he suddenly heard several rumbling noises coming from the east one after another, and he couldn't help but look pale, and hurriedly urged the magic weapon to go east.
After a while, I saw Feng Xifeng rushing all the way in a white spirit boat, his hair was messy, his expression was nervous, and his clothes were also torn in several places.
Followed by several blue-winged and golden-eyed birds, a huge green snake meandered underground, seven or eight zhang long, extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was about to catch up with Feng Xifeng.
Feng Xifeng had no choice but to throw out a few purple and black beads, after a burst of explosion, although the green snake was blocked, but after the smoke and dust, it was unscathed, and the fierce light in the red vertical pupils was even worse, and the snake's body was stretched, and it caught up in a few stretches.
Seeing this, Han Xin first waved his big sleeves, and seven or eight golden rays were as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he skipped the green snake and flew in front of the big bird behind.
After a few screams, the big bird turned into a pile of flesh and blood in the golden light without any resistance, and fell into the forest.
Then, Jin Mang circled and rushed towards the green snake below.
Feng Xifeng stopped beside Han Xin, turned his hand and took out a narrow black blade, clenched it with both hands, and then the aura on his body was together, and the black blade made a burst of humming, and then slashed towards the green snake, and a ten-zhang blade shadow came out of his hand, with the momentum of cutting it in two.
Then a huge snake head bounced up from the ground, and bit the blade shadow with a snap of its fingers, and after a piercing sound of porcelain breaking, the blade shadow turned into fragments, and the wind blew and dissipated into nothingness.
Han Xin's face became more and more solemn, and after retracting the flying knife, he turned over and took out a large pen, the tip of the pen was golden and shining, such as dipped in gold powder, and the pen was empty, and he wrote slowly one stroke at a time, it has not yet been completed, but its structure should be a "mountain" word.
Feng Xifeng's eyes flashed fiercely, stretched out his left hand, and slowly sharpened the blade, the black blade was like drinking alcohol, and the whole body emitted a bright red light, and then like a fierce beast awakening, an astonishing evil aura came out of Feng Xifeng's body, only to see that his face was pale, his eyes were blood-red, and he was staring at the green snake with bloodthirsty color.
Seeing the vision of these two people, the green snake quickly coiled up the snake array, and with a hiss, water arrows floated in the air, and the number of them was so large that it covered a void; then, the mouth of the snake was wide open, and a dark purple droplet gradually elongated into a spike, and as soon as the droplet appeared, the grass and trees in the surrounding ten zhang were withered, showing a purple and black color.
After Han Xin's last pen was written, the word "mountain" was golden and bright, rising in the air, and turned into a phantom of a small mountain of ten zhang in size, and smashed down to the green snake with the momentum of Mount Tai in a flash, and his hand did not stop, and then the void slashed, and a golden light divine rope immediately appeared under the green snake, and in the blink of an eye, it was tightly bound in place.
At the same time, Feng Xifeng licked his lips, held the black blade above his head with both hands, the red light on his body skyrocketed, and the black and red bright light on the black blade was dazzling, and with all his strength, he saw a black and red light blade slashing down towards the green snake with a monstrous aura.
Not to be outdone, the green snake roared, and the water arrows were overwhelmingly trying to shoot forward, and the purple spikes in its mouth were silently stabbing at Feng Xifeng;
A series of roaring and popping sounds followed.
Han Xin's big sleeves brushed by, and suddenly a fresh breeze rose, smoke and dust dispersed, and a white scale shield slowly circled around his body.
On the side, Feng Xifeng's face was pale, his expression was sluggish, his hands were holding the black blade across his chest, the black blade was full of green smoke, and there was a water blue round shield floating in front of him, on which a round hole with the thickness of a thumb was clearly visible, and the edge of the hole was dark purple, making a sizzling sound from time to time.
The two looked down, only to see a giant cyan shell was divided into two, and below it was a ten-zhang pit, in which a ten-zhang green snake coiled into a snake array, motionless, with dull eyes, like a dead thing.
Feng Xifeng put away the magic weapon and was about to say something, when suddenly a thick green shadow slapped on him with a blur.
Feng Xifeng only had time to release the aura of protecting his body, and after a miserable scream, he smashed to the ground like a cannonball, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and the spirit boat he was riding was also reduced to pieces under this whip.
"The snake ......," Han Xin muttered as he turned to look at the giant snake in front of him and the deep hole looming under its body.
With a light sigh, Han Xin put away all the magic weapons and fell to the ground.
The green snake didn't know what it meant, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and then he rushed straight to Han Xin.
As Han Xin took out a three-color magic sword, the green snake shivered from head to end, and the instinctive fear of death made it stop its figure, and then it circled and formed a snake formation, more than ten zhang away from Han Xin, the snake Xin swallowed and looked at him vigilantly.
Han Xin didn't make a move immediately after taking out the magic sword, and one person and one snake were in a stalemate.
But it was said that on the other side, Yuan Qing flew south for only more than ten miles before he saw a messy place, and after careful investigation, he found a serpentine trace.
After following the snake trail for several miles, in front of a small cave, it was found that the entrance of the cave was stained with blood and had not yet dried up, and several blue snake scales could be seen, and the roots were bloody.
Yuan Qing immediately raised his sword, and his divine sense poured out, sweeping across a radius of three miles. Although he could only have a general understanding of the surrounding environment, when he swept somewhere in the south, a strong aura fluctuation came into his mind, and then the sword light was sheng, and he rushed straight over.
The distance of three miles was instantaneous, and I saw a beautiful female cultivator looking at the green snake outside Sanzhang with a cold expression, her hair was scattered, the corners of her mouth were bloody, she was dressed in red, but it was damaged in many places, and she was holding a fiery red feather fan in her right hand, the fire was faint, and her eyes were full of cold color.
The green snake is five zhang in size, although there are many scorch marks on its body, but the snake's neck is high, the snake is non-stop, and the vertical pupils are full of greed and eagerness.
When Yuan Qing arrived, the two looked at the same time, and the female cultivator saw that she was dressed in a robe, and her expression was relaxed; the green snake quickly lowered its snake head, making a low hissing sound, and at the same time, its body coiled into a snake formation, looking like a great enemy.
Yuan Qing fell in front of the female cultivator, holding the sword behind him in his right hand, and said in a gentle tone: "In Xia Yuanqing, he is a disciple of Xuanyuan, entrusted by Senior Brother Han, to investigate the attack on the spiritual vein, dare to ask, but Senior Sister Han is in person?"
The female cultivator bowed slightly and said, "Concubine Han Hongrui, thank you for your help, but for now, let's send this monster away first." ”
Yuan Qing smiled slightly: "That's nature." Then he turned and looked at the green snake.
I saw a flash of sword light in his eyes, and the water-breaking sword was sent out flatly, as if it had lost its body, and a misty mist instantly enveloped the whole body of the green snake.
The green snake suddenly felt that the shadow of death was hanging over his heart, and there were bursts of cold from beginning to end, the snake formation became tighter, and the scales all over his body were full of blue light, and in the blink of an eye, they merged to form a huge cyan light mask.
A gust of wind blew, the Broken Water Sword regained its shape, and the green snake was like a sand sculpture, its flesh and bones turned into a little dust, and it disappeared with the wind, as if it had never existed.
Han Hongrui was already stunned, and secretly thought: It would be easy to kill a second-level snake demon in his heyday, but under such a sword, it would be impossible to kill all the gods and gods. This junior disciple spirit can't suppress the early stage of foundation building, but the killing power is so strong that even the monks in the late stage of foundation building are just like that.
Yuan Qing himself was also taken aback, he didn't expect that the power of the sword with all his strength was so great, and he didn't even leave any demon beast materials, which was a waste of a lot of merit spirit stones, and it seemed that he would have to control it a little in the future.
While the two were thinking, three black shadows fell from the sky, and after carefully looking at the two of them for a few moments, they laughed fiercely, released a magic weapon, and attacked Yuan Qing directly.
Under a giant tree not far away, a sturdy figure wearing a moon-white thorn gold robe silently paid attention to all this, but the upward arc of the corners of his mouth could not be hidden.
