Chapter 26: Luolong Gorge
After walking for about an hour, the mountains on both sides are densely forested, the deep stream on the side of the road flows, the eyes pass through the leaves overhead, and the mountainside in the distance is verdant and green, rising up to the sky.
Occasionally, a feathered eagle with wings ten meters wide rises from the dense forest, makes a roaring demonstration, circles in a burst, and rushes down into the valley.
Then I saw the griffin rising from the forest and crashing into the feathered eagle hovering in the air. The two air kings rolled and pounced in the sky, their feathers flying, and their long roars pierced the sky.
The people who walked were both frightened and amazed, and as they continued to walk, the voices in the procession gradually quieted down, and the initial excitement had subsided, some of them felt hot and tired, while others saw the surrounding jungle and were wary and afraid.
Fang Lele was carried on Fang Mo's back, Li Yanhuan walked beside him, constantly fanning himself, occasionally wiping the sweat on his face, Li Miaomiao's face was pink, and occasionally muttered: Why hasn't it arrived yet.
Yun Xuan's heart was calm, he was not panting, and his face was not red. He was used to walking mountain roads, and his physical fitness had improved from the first layer of the condensation vein to the fourth layer of the condensation vein last night, and this hour's journey was only a warm-up for him.
When they came down the slope to a grassy clearing, the deacon called for everyone to stop.
"Not far ahead is Luolong Gorge, and it is also the place where the fourth level of screening is selected this time, killing spirit beasts and obtaining circled fangs, whoever obtains more circled fangs, the higher the rank, the higher the ranking, and the top ten will be qualified to enter Yuxuanzong. ”
"How could it be Luolong Gorge, I heard that there are sixth-order spirit beasts in it, and most of us are concentrated in the second or third layers of the condensation vein!"
"If you're unlucky enough to bump into a high-level spirit beast, you'll be hit by one. ”
.......
"The road of cultivation is extremely dangerous, and if you don't have the determination to fight to the death, you will become ashes if you compete in the world. If you want to give up now, you can stand up and stay in the world as a mortal, maybe you can live a peaceful life. "I heard the voices of the crowd, and the voice of the deacon came.
No one came forward.
"Good!" the deacon praised, as if he saw the scene of his youth being brave and diligent, and did not flinch: "It is extremely dangerous to fight with spirit beasts, if you are not sure, you should avoid it." At 5 p.m., you must return, and if you exceed the time, you will not be ranked. At the same time, I will tell you a good news, the number one who ranks first will be rewarded with Pei Yuan Dan. ”
"Pei Yuan Dan, wow, it's Pei Yuan Dan. ”
"If I had a Pei Yuan Pill, I would be able to raise the Condensation Realm to a higher level. ”
The crowd was excited.
The deacon waved his hand, and someone next to him carried out a sundial, which pointed to ten o'clock in the morning.
Twenty-five teenagers were aroused to forge ahead, and each team jumped into the dense forest of Luolong Gorge.
Yun Xuan, Fang Mo and Li Miaomiao had been walking together for more than an hour, and on the way, they encountered three first-order green wolves, each of them packed up one, obtained a circled wolf tooth, and now lit a fire in a small clearing with clear water in a stream.
Yun Xuan was forking a piece of cleaned wolf meat with a tree, slowly flipping it over the top of the flames, and bursts of meat aroma came from the flames rising.
Fang Mo stood around and watched, saying that he wanted to look at the wind. This dark-faced guy is always on the lookout.
Li Miaomiao sat on the side, holding Yun Xuan's iron rod, beating the soil on the ground, her nose fluttering, greedily inhaling the aroma of meat from the air, looking at the brown and dripping wolf meat in Yun Xuan's hand, and said, "It's been roasted for so long, it's time to cook." ”
"Don't worry, the barbecue should be roasted slowly, it will burn if it is roasted too quickly. It's a pity that there is no salt, and if there is salt, it will be fragrant. Yun Xuan said.
"Yun Xuan, raw salt, then. Fang Mo took out a small bamboo tube from his waist and threw it over.
Yun Xuan took the bamboo tube, opened the stopper and saw that it was the salt of the white flowers, and he was overjoyed, and poured some on the wolf meat, and the fragrance was even stronger.
"How can you have salt?" Yun Xuan asked.
"Lele and I came all the way from Yanguo, we have no fixed place, almost everything we eat is cooked by ourselves at any time, and salt is a must-have thing to carry with us. ”
Fang Mo said calmly, his tough face revealing vicissitudes.
The three of them were silent for a while, Yun Xuan didn't know what the two brothers and sisters had experienced, and there must have been a lot of bitter memories.
"Something is approaching. Fang Mo suddenly let out a voice and walked to the side.
Yun Xuan put aside the wolf meat on the branch, stood up, and grabbed the iron rod that Miao Miao handed over.
The three of them were all facing the same direction, and at this time, Yun Xuan also heard a voice, the voice was very soft, but it was getting closer and closer.
It was close, very close, but all of a sudden there was no movement.
"Be careful, they're already behind us. Yun Xuan turned around and looked to the rear, he heard movement from the side, and finally the sound stopped in the rear.
The three of them were back to back, and Li Miaomiao had already grabbed the whip in her hand.
"Proud~~"
A two-meter-long black shadow jumped out of the bushes and pounced on Li Miaomiao. Li Miaomiao's long whip in her hand flung towards the black shadow, and a whistling wind blew in the air.
The black shadow still pounced on Miaomiao, obviously not afraid of Miaomiao's whip.
Yun Xuan was in a hurry, "Get out", a wrong step, and the iron rod hit the head of the black shadow. Fang Mo rose into the air, his fist struck, and red light burst out, smashing into the black shadow's abdomen.
The black shadow was very agile and fast, and with a twist, he dodged to the side, his front paws just jumped to the ground three meters away from the side, and then pounced forward, his body tightened, and his hind feet landed on the ground, and he reversed and pounced on Yun Xuan.
As soon as Yun Xuan withdrew the iron rod, before he could raise the smashing momentum, he saw that the black shadow had already pounced on his side, so he had to turn around, look at the claw shadow, and push forward with both hands clenched the iron rod.
Although this push was urgent, with his physique in the middle of the fourth layer of the condensation vein, and the vitality comparable to the middle of the fifth layer of the condensation vein, he pushed forward with both hands, and he also had about forty jun of strength, just enough to block the attacking claws, only to feel a huge force in front of him, and Yun Xuan was pushed back five steps back.
The black shadow was also pushed away, bounced back five meters, and stood in place.
Li Miaomiao just swept towards the black shadow, just as the black shadow flipped back and hit the air.
At this time, Yun Xuan saw clearly the black shadow in front of him, it was a black wind leopard, this black wind leopard was two meters long, obviously not yet an adult, the adult black wind leopard was five meters long, it was an eighth-order spirit beast in the mortal realm, its body was as agile as the wind, and it could fight with the blue spotted tiger without falling behind.
The Black Wind Leopard stood in place, letting out a low hissing sound, a pair of ghostly black eyes looked at the prey in front of him, from the two pounces just now, it had already felt the powerful resistance of the prey, and it was not so easy to succeed.
A group of proud men killed spirit beasts in the canyon, wanting to pull out their circled fangs, but they also became the prey of spirit beast attacks, and it just so happened that they also wanted to have a full meal. When it's time to return, I don't know how many of them can go back intact, and maybe some people will never be able to get out of this Luolong Gorge again.
Seeing the Black Wind Leopard standing in place, Fang Mo and Li Miaomiao retreated towards Yun Xuan, who was approaching them. Li Miaomiao's face was slightly pale, and she looked at the Black Wind Leopard intently, Yun Xuan caught up and stood in front of Miaomiao's side with Fang Mo.
The black wind leopard paused in place for a moment, and suddenly ran to one side, it didn't want to rush head-on, and in the four circles of the three of them, the eyes of the three of them left only a phantom of leaping like a wind.
"Back to back. Yun Xuan shouted urgently.
As soon as the three of them stood up, the black shadow rushed towards the gap between Li Miaomiao and Fang Mo, obviously in its eyes, Fang Mo, who had no weapons, and Li Miaomiao, who only held a whip, were better bullied.
Li Miaomiao's whip smashed into the head of the black shadow, and the black wind leopard turned its head to the side, and the figure was slightly off, but the target was still the petite Li Miaomiao.
"How dare a brute. Fang Mo, who had not relaxed on the side, had already had his red vitality in his fist, and when Li Miaomiao's whip hit the panther neck, his fists smashed out and hit the claws that were close to Li Miaomiao's black shadow neck.
"Boom"
Fang Mo took four steps back.
The Black Wind Leopard flipped to the side like a hill, fell to the ground six meters away, flipped up, as if it was fine, shook its body, there was a red whip mark on the side of its neck, and the black hair on it had been taken off.
"Wow~~"
It pounced again.
Yun Xuan had already turned around and jumped towards the black panther who was rushing over, his figure jumped higher than the black panther, and the iron rod smashed down.
The panther lowered its front body, and its back body was just about to dodge.
"Bump"
"Wow~~"
The Black Wind Leopard let out a wail and fell to the ground to the side, and it was its back that was swept by Yun Xuan's iron rod.
Yun Xuan bounced to the other side and landed.
The Black Wind Leopard struggled on the ground for a moment, stood up, turned his head to look at Yun Xuan, hissed with caution in his mouth, looked at Fang Mo again, and suddenly turned around and ran towards the forest, one of which did not touch the ground with its hind feet, and it looked like it was fleeing with an injury.
Fang Mo glanced at Yun Xuan, he didn't understand how the Black Wind Leopard ran away after being hit by Yun Xuan's stick.
Li Miaomiao next to her asked, "Shall we chase?" Her face was still pale now, and the black panther's claws were about to pounce in front of her just now.
Fang Mo shook his head: "This Black Wind Leopard should have a fifth-order and agile body, it looks like it has been injured a little, but we may not be able to catch up in the dense forest, and there are other dangers in the canyon." ”
Fang Mo was able to survive a large number of dangers, and his judgment of the situation was quite accurate, and he was not a person who would only rush with courage.
Yun Xuan nodded: "Eat something first, and we'll chase after you finish eating." ”
A voice sounded in the forest again, it came from behind them, and the three of them became alert, the black wind leopard just ran away, and ran back from behind?
"Who? Li Miaomiao shouted.
"Who are you?", a woman's voice came, the sound continued to approach, and a tall white figure appeared as she pushed aside the trees.
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, it was Wu Ningshuang.
Wu Ningshuang approached, looked at the three of them, and said, "I heard the sound of the fight just now, it turned out to be the three of you." ”
"Judging by the vigilant look on your face, you should be in danger. The ground is so messy, and there are claw marks, obviously it is a fight with some spirit beast. ”
"It's none of your business. What about your teammates, what are you hiding? Tell them to come out. Li Miaomiao said.
Wu Ningshuang smiled slightly, with a proud look on her face, and said, "Teammate, I don't need teammates." There are too many people, the spirit beasts are scared away, how many circles of fangs do you have in your hands?"
The trio did not answer.
"It seems that there aren't many of you, three of you together, even if you meet a spirit beast, it's just luck. After speaking, she moved her nose: "What fragrance?".
Following the scent, she saw the charred yellow flesh on the ground: "I'm just a little hungry, share a little with me." ”
"Why do you want to give it to you?" Li Miaomiao was dissatisfied when she looked at Wu Ningshuang's proud appearance.
"Let's share some of her, they are all from Fallen Leaf City together, and they may meet in Yuxuanzong in the future. Yun Xuan said.
"Hmph. Li Miaomiao turned her head.
Fang Mo didn't say anything.
Wu Ningshuang looked at Yun Xuan with some surprise, she just asked casually, if the other party didn't give it to her, it would be expected, after all, she hadn't had a relationship with a few people before, so she didn't expect this guy in blue to agree so happily.
Yun Xuan tore four parts from the piece of meat and gave it to Wu Ningshuang.
Wu Ningshuang took the piece of meat, looked at Yun Xuan, and said, "I won't take your things for nothing, this third-order circled fangs should be exchanged for this food." ”
Yun Xuan was also not polite, took the circled fangs, saw Wu Ningshuang turn around and walk in the direction where the Black Wind Leopard fled, and said, "Wu Ningshuang, there was just a fifth-order Black Wind Leopard that fled over there, it is safer to change directions." ”
Wu Ningshuang paused, looked back at Yun Xuan, and continued to move forward.
Yun Xuan no longer spoke, he had already reminded him, the other party still moved forward, with their friendship, he would not be a good person.
Yun Xuan stuffed the circled fangs into Miao Miao's hand and said, "Miao Miao, you have these third-order beast teeth, presumably Fang Mo agrees too." ”
Yun Xuan looked at Fang Mo with a smile.
Fang Mo snorted.
Li Miaomiao avoided her hand and said, "I don't want that woman's things." ”
Yun Xuan smiled and said, "This is our food in exchange, and it's already ours." You take it first. ”
Li Miaomiao listened to what Yun Xuan said and took it.
The three of them divided the pieces of meat, quickly finished eating, and decided to search for another hour, and if they hadn't encountered many spirit beasts, they would separate at that time.
An hour has passed, and the three of them have only encountered two third-order spirit beasts and one second-order spirit beast, if they want to enter the top ten according to this amount of harvest, they are not sure.
It seems that they still have to separate, Yun Xuan thought.
Suddenly, there was a faint sound of quarrel in front of him, and Yun Xuan listened attentively.
A female voice said, "I killed this spirit beast." ”
"What did you kill, it was obviously us who worked hard to kill this spirit beast, and it ran here to die with blood. A male voice came.
