Early the next morning, there was a curling mist outside the cave, and in Ding Zhengyi's eyes, they kept rising and turning, like a veil like a painting, and with the gentle blowing of the mountain breeze, they were hazy and drifting around like smoke and dust.

Faced with this situation, Ding Zhengyi first felt pleasing to the eye, and his suffocation in the cave for a night was washed away, but then he couldn't help frowning slightly, such an environment was obviously not suitable for traveling.

The vision inside the mist was inevitably affected, and the Qi cultivators did not have the aid of external divine sense, so as long as they were trapped in it, it was difficult to make reasonable judgments.

It's just that the route is difficult to discern, and Ding Zhengyi can barely accept it.

In this way, at most, it is just going in the wrong direction, wasting a little time and energy, and it is generally harmless, and it can accumulate some similar experience for their future actions.

But if you are unlucky, a few people happen to encounter a powerful demon beast or a monk with ill intentions in the mist, then the result is extremely worrying.

In the case that Mo Yuying had no way to warn in advance, even if it was Ding Zhengyi, he was not completely sure that he would be able to retreat with his whole body, let alone the other few people in the team, they would inevitably suffer some unacceptable injuries.

Therefore, it is obviously not the right choice to rush regardless of it.

The cautious Ding Zhengyi certainly wouldn't act recklessly, and after observing the situation outside the cave, he explained that everyone had finished breakfast, and after a simple tidying up, he continued to meditate and cultivate.

In addition to the fact that it was indeed inconvenient to walk at this time, Ding Zhengyi also had the idea of letting a few people maintain the progress of Qi training.

After all, there is a conventional concept in the cultivation world, that is, if you want to do your job, you must first sharpen your tools, otherwise even if they run in well, or even reach the level of extraordinary performance, but if the cultivation is not enough, the strength will be greatly reduced after all, and all this is just a waste of effort.

As several people in the cave sat cross-legged on the ground, each holding a lower grade spirit stone and began to practice qi, Mo Yuying also held a few pieces of demon beast meat in his mouth, standing at the entrance of the cave and eating at the signal of Ding Zhengyi, while playing the role of vigilance, the surroundings gradually fell silent.

It wasn't until the bright sunlight poured into the cave, the morning mist outside completely dissipated, and Ding Zhengyi finished today's morning class, that he informed the other four people to pack up and prepare to move on.

The road back is getting harder and harder, full of inaccessible wilderness and mountain forests, not to mention sheltered by wild grasses and shrubs, and they often come across a canyon as soon as they walk up a mountain ridge, and as soon as they cross a stream, they come across a large river.

Therefore, in a full five days, a few people with a face full of wind and frost were able to cross the eight mountains, and the straight-line distance from the destination was still more than 400 miles.

The two ownerless spirit veins that passed along the road were empty, obviously swept away by the scattered cultivators who often passed by, and Ding Zhengyi led them straight through, wasting time there at all.

Moreover, after all, the realm they had walked through was at the outermost edge of the wilderness, and even though they had spent a lot of energy on guard, there were still very few demon beasts they had actually encountered, and they had barely been delayed for long.

Except for the black-haired demon pig on the first day, they only encountered the demon beast twice after that, namely a fire golden rooster and a spotted demon leopard.

That fire brocade rooster had no value for exercising for several people, so it was killed casually by Ding Zhengyi, and at this time it had been packed up and stored in his storage bag.

As an intermediate demon beast, the spotted demon leopard has an extremely keen insight into crises, and its dodging movements are also faster, and its explosive power is not the same as that of the black-haired demon pig.

Therefore, the hunting process of several people was very difficult, and it seemed a little constrained in terms of cooperation, Ding Zhengyi continued to point out from the perspective of a bystander, but when he was distracted, a sudden outbreak of the spotted demon leopard caught him off guard.

The spotted leopard's outburst came suddenly, but fortunately it was just running away at the time, and if it fought to the death at that time, it might bring unbearable casualties to the team.

This unexpected change completely refreshed Ding Zhengyi's cognition of demon beasts, and made his contemptuous attitude towards low-level demon beasts also converge a lot, and at the same time, it also indirectly prompted several people who had not encountered a crisis for several days in a row, so that a few people who were a little careless became cautious.

On the sixth day of the journey, a team of five was trekking through a valley.

There are weeds more than a man tall everywhere, and there are many jagged boulders around the mountain walls, which greatly restricts their vision.

At the same time, there are many small mud ponds scattered around, and in the churning of bubbles, the silt overflows, and everywhere looks muddy.

Walking around, I saw that it was not far from the location of the valley, but with the experience of the previous car, even though the Ink Feather Eagle had been hovering overhead, several people still maintained a high level of vigilance.

At this moment, a demonic aura suddenly appeared out of thin air from the front, and the piercing eagle cry warning also sounded, Ding Zhengyi didn't even have time to react too much, he just subconsciously stimulated the talisman jade pendant, and then raised his hand to protect his fragile face.

Before he could adjust his body, a gray shadow rushed towards him with lightning speed, and then Ding Zhengyi heard a muffled sound of "poof" in his ears, and he felt as if he had been hit by a huge hammer.

With the oozing grinding sound, and a slightly painful roar.

This powerful impact directly knocked Ding Zhengyi back several steps, and only then did he finally come back to his senses, and when he looked at it, he was a third-level demon crocodile covered in mud.

was suddenly attacked, Ding Zhengyi looked embarrassed at this time, his coat was already in tatters, and at the same time, there were also a few mottled marks on the iron armor lined inside, and the qi and blood in his body were surging non-stop, and a strange red and white color faintly appeared on his face.

Before Ding Zhengyi could control his injury, the demon crocodile made a slight adjustment, and then immediately flicked its tail and pounced.

However, with the buffer of this effort, Ding Zhengping at the back of the team also woke up from the shock, he saw that Ding Zhengyi's situation was not right, and hurriedly flew up with a shield magic weapon to meet him.

With a loud "bang", Ding Zhengping was knocked away several feet with a shield, and the demon crocodile only paused for a moment, and it didn't seem to be affected much, and at this moment there was a momentum of eager to pounce.

"Everyone pay attention to their surroundings and try to stay away from this demon crocodile, you are no match for it. ”

Taking advantage of Ding Zhengping's resistance, Ding Zhengyi quickly suppressed the injury, he stopped a few people who came closer, and at the same time, the armor-piercing cone in his hand also flashed.

Seeing the demon crocodile pounce again, Ding Zhengyi immediately turned sideways to dodge, this time he was fully prepared, at this time, his powerful physical reaction speed even exceeded the judgment of his thinking, and he barely escaped this extremely sharp attack.

"This turned out to be a dragon-scale crocodile, its flesh is strong, its defense is super high, and it is also proficient in several natural spells, and it has almost no obvious weaknesses. ”

Seeing that Ding Zhengyi had avoided the attack incredibly, Ding Zhengfeng, who was standing in the distance, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time he opened his mouth and reminded loudly.

At this time, under Ding Zhengfeng's reminder, he noticed that after the demon crocodile was pounced several times, the thick mud on its body had been thrown off by it, and a half-foot-sized golden scale on his forehead was also revealed.

This small scale, combined with Ding Zhengfeng's reminder, made Ding Zhengyi realize that the third-level demon crocodile in front of him was a dragon crocodile with high potential and strong strength.

Ding Zhengyi didn't know anything about the characteristics and value of the dragon scale crocodile, but in his limited memory, one thing was very clear, that is, it was extremely difficult, and it was difficult for ordinary qi cultivators to escape under its attack.

didn't have time to think about it, at this moment, the dragon scale crocodile flew in again, but Ding Zhengyi, who had calmed down, was no longer panicked, and in the dodge of the electric flint, he used all his strength to activate the armor-piercing cone and rushed towards the throat of the demon crocodile.
