Chapter 267: The Third Encounter
In less than half a day, Zhang Yifan passed through the deep valley of the miaoya crocodile and came to a three-way intersection.
One is to pass directly through Wanliu Reef, so that he can reach Hanchuan in less than half a day. One is to take a detour along the trail around Manliu Reef, which will take at least a day to get to Hancheon.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Yifan did not choose to take the risk, preferring to spend some more time to reach Hanchuan safely.
Although he is not afraid of encountering the dark whirlpool current, one of the three evils, he will definitely delay more time after encountering this disaster.
After the deep valley of the toothed crocodile, there were almost no monks here, Zhang Yifan no longer had scruples, sacrificed the heavenly flying boat, and hurried with all his might.
There weren't many demon beasts along the way, and any demon beast that stopped in front of Zhang Yifan was killed by him with several arrows.
The speed of the Tiangong flying boat was very fast, and it took less than a day for Zhang Yifan to come to the entrance of Hanchuan.
The area of the Hanchuan Danger Land is very large, and it is the farthest known place for monks to explore the secret realm.
However, there are still many areas in Hanchuan that have not been detected, and the entrance to the extinct volcano danger that Zhang Yifan is going to is on the edge of an unknown area in Hanchuan.
He didn't have a detailed map of the unknown area of Hanchuan in his hand, only some general directions and terrain descriptions, which he could use to determine the location of the entrance to the perilous volcano.
Because of the seldom of people, there are many precious treasures hidden in the cold river.
But the reason why people rarely visit is because the environment of Hanchuan is harsh, very cold, and the monks will freeze to death if they don't stay here for a day, and they can't explore treasures in Hanchuan without special cold protection methods.
Of course, the most important thing is that there is a group of Han Jiao living in the cold river, which is the most powerful demon beast of the same level in the secret realm, far from being comparable to other demon beasts.
Moreover, it is rumored that there is a seventh-level Han Jiao demon beast in the cold river, this kind of cultivated Han Jiao is a more terrifying existence than the Gu Eagle, if Zhang Yifan encounters it, there is basically no chance to escape, unless he uses the Demon Suppression Technique, maybe there is a glimmer of life.
Therefore, Hanchuan is one of the most dangerous areas in the known secret realm.
After Zhang Yifan entered Hanchuan, he found that this area was indeed very cold, which made him a little uncomfortable when he was about to cultivate the third refining of the "Xuanhan Six Refinings".
Fortunately, this discomfort was bearable for the time being, and he began to restrain his breath, took out the Five Elements Trace Umbrella, and cautiously walked towards the location area of Hanchuan.
The treasures in Hanchuan are not few, and in just half a day, Zhang Yifan found a variety of water and ice attribute spirit material ores, which are not low. However, there seemed to be signs of Han Jiao swimming near each treasure, and there were more than one.
Zhang Yifan didn't have to get these treasures, so he didn't plan to pick them, so as not to startle the snake.
It's not that he can't deal with Han Jiao, but he is worried about attracting that seventh-level Han Jiao.
The nine East China Sea Jiaolong elites he killed when he was in Miyun Danger were much more powerful than ordinary Han Jiao, although he was able to kill the nine East China Sea Elite Jiaolong with the help of the three mysterious Northern Han Kingdom cultivators at that time.
But now his strength is much higher than his strength back then, so even if he is against three or four Han Jiao, he is not a problem, not to mention that there is Xiao Hei Xiaozi to help.
Zhang Yifan now just wants to rush to the dangerous place of the extinct volcano quickly, and he can avoid the demon beasts he encounters on the road, and if he can't avoid them, he will use his escape technique to get rid of them.
Although the speed of the Han Jiao in the water is very fast, and the speed of the sixth-level Han Jiao has reached a hundred zhang per breath, Zhang Yifan's escape technique is even faster, and he can still do it in a short period of time when he throws off the Han Jiao.
With the strength of Zhang Yifan's divine sense, this kind of unavoidable situation rarely occurs, only once. But it was this time that he deviated from his original direction and had to pass through another uncharted area.
Unknown areas often meant hiding unpredictable dangers, and he explored more carefully, constricting his aura to the extreme, while his divine consciousness was operating to the maximum.
There were some dangers encountered along the way, and even Zhang Yifan had to use thunder methods to destroy a sixth-level cold Jiao, and also explored some more precious cold attribute spiritual elixirs.
By this time he had gone deep into the depths of this unknown area, but it would not be long before he reached another unknown area that he needed to explore.
"Huh, why is she here? Why is it fighting every time she meets, this is the third time? Zhang Yifan was a little speechless.
He used his divine sense to detect that more than twenty miles away from him, a woman in red and another monk were fighting, and the two of them were fighting fiercely, and the nearby fight was a mess, obviously they had been fighting for a while.
The woman in red was Wu Huan'er, who had formed a friendship with him in Miyun Palace, and the other monk Zhang Yifan also knew her, and it was Fang Ce who had separated a few days ago.
Zhang Yifan has a good impression of these two people. Although he had not been in contact with Fang Ce for a long time, he admired this person's openness and decisiveness, so he planned to come forward to persuade him, it was too dangerous to fight here.
Zhang Yifan no longer hesitated, and quickly flew towards the place where the two of them were fighting.
He didn't need to hide his tracks, so when he flew close to the two, the two of them realized almost at the same time, and they had a very tacit understanding to retreat and stop, and they were on guard, no one wanted to be profited from.
When Zhang Yifan appeared, Wu Huan'er looked stunned, looking at him with some doubts, obviously not recognizing him yet.
"It turned out to be Li Daoyou, why are you here?" Fang Ce said coldly.
"Fang Daoyou is really powerful, he is indeed down. Zhang Yifan was a little surprised that Fang Ce could recognize him.
"You are cultivating the best body refining technique unique to the Northern Cold Country, the Xuanhan Six Refinings, I have already sensed this special Xuanhan aura, and in my eyes, your disguise has no effect. Why are you here? I said that whoever wants to do bad things to me, I will kill them. Fang Ce explained a few words, and then still asked.
Zhang Yifan knew that with the other party's character, if it weren't for the fact that he had been a teammate for a few days and his strength was extraordinary, it was estimated that he would have suppressed and driven away a long time ago.
"Fang Daoyou, rest assured, my purpose is not in Hanchuan, I am only here to persuade you. It's so dangerous here, aren't the two of you afraid of attracting that seventh-level cold Jiao by fighting like this?"
"This fellow Daoist, there is no seventh-level Hanjiao here, don't worry. And I didn't start the fight first, this guy didn't want to attack me when he saw me here, I was just forced to fight. Wu Huan'er saw that the two knew each other, and her heart sank, but she said quietly.
"Even if there is no seventh-level Hanjiao, it is indeed very dangerous here, it is better for the two of them to talk about their respective purposes, be open and honest, maybe there is a possibility of cooperation. If it doesn't take long, I'm willing to help. Zhang Yifan pondered for a moment and spoke.
This Li Daoyou spoke cheerfully. I am looking for an elixir called the Cold Marrow Flower, which has been found to be in the cave fifty miles ahead, but there are three Han Jiao guards who are already at the peak of the sixth level, and if the Daoist friends are willing to help, they are willing to pay the corresponding price. ”
"I didn't expect that there was a cold marrow flower here, Wu Huan'er's luck is too good, this is the best water attribute spirit flower, it is rumored that it can enhance the monk's comprehension of water attribute spiritual power and improve a little cultivation qualification. Zhang Yifan knew something about this kind of spirit flower, and sighed in his heart that Wu Huan'er had a lot of opportunities.
"This person obviously knows about the cold marrow flower, but there is no greed in his eyes, which is okay. But why do I always feel a little familiar with him?..." Wu Huan'er has been secretly observing Zhang Yifan's reaction after hearing about the spirit flower, and the results of the observation made her secretly relieved.
Before Zhang Yifan could say anything, Fang Ce spoke first: "It turns out that you need those two cold marrow flowers, if you only need these two elixirs, it's not like we can't cooperate." When the time comes, the cold marrow flower will belong to you, and all the thousand-year-old cold dew in the cold pool will belong to me. ”
"Li Daoyou, if you have any requests, just ask, I need your assistance in that place to help me block the attacks of those three sixth-level Han Jiao. Fang Ce turned his head and said to Zhang Yifan.
Zhang Yifan didn't expect that Fang Ce was actually seeking a thousand-year-old cold dew, and he had some of this kind of spiritual object, but there were not many of them.
Therefore, he also has a demand for the thousand-year-old cold dew, this spiritual object is very precious, and it is even more difficult to find in the Chu State, and it is impossible to find. If he used the thousand-year-old cold dew to cultivate the third and fourth refinements of the "Xuanhan Six Refinings", it should have a very good effect, and the progress was very fast.
This kind of spiritual object can also be used in the cultivation of the fifth refining of the "Xuanhan Six Refinings", and the effect is also very good.
At the same time, the thousand-year-old cold dew is also a spiritual material for refining some cold attribute magic weapons or elixirs, and it is also the best thing for cultivating water or ice attribute exercises.
However, a gentleman does not take the favor of others, since Fang Ce knew that he was willing to tell this information about the "Xuanhan Six Refinings" he cultivated, he obviously trusted himself, and Zhang Yifan also rested his mind about the thousand-year-old cold dew here.
"Hehe, since everyone has different purposes, this is the best. The reward is those three Han Jiao. ”
Zhang Yifan's words made the two of them feel relieved.
Soon the three began to discuss the follow-up actions, and after the previous cooperation, Zhang Yifan knew the two better, and soon came up with a feasible plan.
The cave was not far from here, the cave was not deep, but it was very large, like a large hall with a radius of nearly 100 zhang. In the center of the main hall, there is a cold pool of more than 50 zhang in size, and there is a piece of ice floe of the size of a zhang in the middle of the cold pool, and there are two crystal clear flowers growing on it, which is the cold pith flower.
The hall is surrounded by sharp inverted icicles, and three Han Jiao, whose breaths are extremely powerful, are frolicking in the cold pool, looking leisurely.
At this time, Zhang Yifan and the three of them secretly sneaked into the cave with the help of the Five Elements Trace Umbrella, but they didn't dare to get too close, so as not to be noticed by Han Jiao.
The only thing they were worried about now was that the three cold Jiao would devour the two cold pith flowers, so they didn't dare to rush directly to it.
According to Zhang Yifan's previous plan, Wu Huan'er and Fang Ce needed to attract the attention of the three dragons, and then Zhang Yifan quickly went to the central area with a thunderbolt to pick the two cold marrow flowers.
In this process, the three of them must not hesitate at all, otherwise it is very likely that their efforts will be wasted. Among them, Zhang Yifan was under the greatest pressure, and he needed to withstand the attack of at least ten breaths of rage, because picking the cold marrow flower was very complicated, and it would take a long time, otherwise it would be easy to lose the medicinal properties of the elixir.
During the period when Zhang Yifan was picking the elixir, the two needed to block Han Jiao's interference with Zhang Yifan as soon as possible.
After standing in his position, Zhang Yifan held his breath and waited for the three Han Jiao to be in a relatively distant position.
"Do it!" Zhang Yifan immediately cast the Flying Shadow, and at the same time sacrificed two three-forged silver silk ropes to wrap around the two cold Jiao, he was ready to immediately cast the Yin Thunder Escape Technique when he was within a hundred zhang of the center.
