Chapter 35: Clever Breakthrough

All this, with his powerful divine sense, Su Aotian knew it clearly.

After entering the forest that day, Su Aotian released his divine sense from time to time and explored everywhere. This dense forest is vast, I don't know where it extends, and with the strength of Su Aotian's divine sense, there is still no end to it. He felt that there was some powerful aura in the depths of the dense forest, which was by no means something he could compete with, it should be some high-level fierce beasts, so he didn't dare to go inside, so he kept a certain distance from those breaths and moved forward, thinking that if these fierce beasts were in the center of the dense forest, then I just had to circle around them, and then walk straight out, I would definitely be able to leave this forest. Some foundation building monks came one after another outside, and then searched separately after entering the forest, Su Aotian also sensed it, so he tried to avoid them and lurked cautiously. Later, I felt two greater coercions, far more than those previous foundation building monks, and I couldn't help but be a little shocked: "This coercion, could it be that the Jiedan monk is also here? He didn't expect that the owner of Lingcui Villa was also outside the dense forest.

Just like that, he was cautious, and he didn't dare to make any movement, but fortunately, he was practicing the wood system exercises, and he was like a fish in water in this dense forest, which was extremely convenient for him to hide, and it would not be easy to be discovered for a while. But he moved very slowly, and in a few days several groups of monks had already rushed in front of him, and some monks were farther to his left and right, and the large army was also chasing closer and closer, and slowly he was surrounded.

After a few more days, he could feel that the people in front of him, to the left and right, had slowed down and begun to expand the search area, while the people behind him had begun to speed up, and he could not help but wonder if the monk in charge of the search might have also thought that he had already caught up with him, and began to slowly close the net, and when they were closed, he could not fly.

Thinking of this, the idea is certain, and we must take the lead to break the encirclement.

So he stopped moving forward, condensed his senses, and probed the situation around him. After careful investigation, there were a group of monks in the distance of five hundred zhang in the left front, there were a total of eight people, and the highest cultivation was the three monks of the ninth stage of qi refining, and the rest of them were all in the seventh or eighth stage. This is the weakest team in the neighborhood, and the other teams all have Tsukiji monks in charge.

With the help of the cover of the trees, Su Aotian sneaked and slowly approached this group of monks.

It took him an hour to lurk fifty feet behind the monks.

After stabilizing his mood, Su Aotian took out a piece of talisman paper from the storage bag and held it in his hand. In the past few days, Su Aotian has carefully read Zhao Yuhao's talisman on the way to escape.

This is thanks to the benefits of soul splitting. One soul is in a hurry, one soul can cultivate, and when tired, you can alternately rest. Su Aotian is now very proficient in the transformation of the two souls, and the two souls are one, what one soul learns, the other soul will immediately master.

This talisman mainly records in detail the method of refining the talisman and how to use it. For refining, there is not much time to learn now, and the focus of Su Aotian's learning is the use of talismans.

The use of this talisman is actually not difficult, it is nothing more than the use of aura. But there is one thing, and that is the compatibility of Reiki. In short, it is what kind of aura is suitable for what kind of talisman. Like the Water Spirit Root Monk, using the water attribute talisman, it is easy to master, and there is no obstacle to catch it, if you want to use the fire attribute talisman, it will take a lot of effort. Because of the different attributes, it is easy to cause spiritual restraint, which makes the talisman difficult to control, and the timing of the seal ablation is not just right, either causing the talisman to detonate in advance and injuring itself, or, canceling out part of the power of the talisman, causing the effect of the talisman to be greatly reduced. Moreover, in the use of talismans, there is also a big taboo, that is, do not use high-level talismans if the aura is insufficient, which is like a child playing with fire, and the slightest carelessness will lead to fire. Generally speaking, the power of the talisman is higher than one's own cultivation, so the upper limit of the use of the talisman is one level higher than oneself, for example, the monk of the ninth stage of qi refining can barely use the talisman at the beginning of foundation building, and the power released by this talisman may cause some damage to oneself, but it will never cause death;

There are a lot of other aspects of the talisman, but Su Aotian has no time to take care of it now. At this time, what Su Aotian was holding in his hand was a fire attribute talisman with a power equivalent to a blow from a foundation building monk—the Flame Burst Talisman.

The use of talismans still requires a lot of practice before practice makes perfect and can be applied freely. Su Aotian had no time, and no extra talismans to practice. The method he was going to use the talisman was very simple, that is, it was directly detonated.

For the solidity of his body, Su Aotian is already full of confidence now. In the valley outside the Dark Moon Forest, he resisted the two blows of the foundation building period monk without dying, and he knew in his heart that this was not his limit. Detonating this talisman now may cause damage to yourself, but it will never be fatal.

Preparing to stop, Su Aotian no longer hesitated, and quickly rushed towards the monk team.

As soon as he rushed out, he was sensed by the monks.

In the past few days, in the process of searching for Su Aotian, because the target was too big, almost every monk team had been attacked by fierce beasts, but Su Aotian deliberately lurked and did not attract the attention of fierce beasts. The attacks of the fierce beasts were always like Su Aotian's, and they directly charged, so the first reaction of these monks was to encounter the fierce beasts again.

The monk instinctively prepared for the defense, the monks on the periphery hurriedly released their shields, and the monk in the middle prepared to launch a second wave of attacks.

Unexpectedly, this time the fierce beast attack was fierce, the shield did not play any role, and a humanoid fierce beast had already rushed into the encirclement.

Without waiting for a monk to react, there was a "boom", a popping sound came to mind, accompanied by the pungent smell of fireworks and the scorching heat.

Before the five monks below the ninth stage of qi refining could react, they had already returned to the underworld, and the three monks of the ninth stage of qi refining, one dead and two injured, were all lying on the ground.

Su Aotian's whole body was scorched black, as if he had just escaped from the furnace, and his whole body was full of cracks, some were still bleeding, and some had been scorched. His ears roared and his eyes flashed with stars, but he was the only one in the room still standing.

Enduring the severe pain and discomfort in his body, Su Aotian took out two palms in a row, killed the two living monks, and searched for it, only finding a storage bag, the remaining storage bag had been shattered by the Flame Explosion Charm, and the items inside instantly turned into powder because of the shattering of the space.

Seeing that there was nothing else to gain, Su Aotian endured his injuries and fled quickly towards the right rear.

In the blink of an eye, he had left the battlefield just now at a distance of about 900 zhang, at this time he stopped, jumped violently, jumped onto the branch of a big tree about two zhang high from the ground, and then tapped the branch with his toes, and went up again, the moment the upward momentum stopped slightly, he pressed a branch with his right palm, and his body continued to rise. After doing this four or five times, he had climbed ten feet above the ground. Only then did he stop, and carefully cast a magical power that was entwined with everything. When he casts his powers, he emits very little aura, allowing the branches to grow a little more, which will surround him, and then stop. Because the wood vitality in the woods was extremely strong, the branches that grew out lost the infusion of spiritual energy, and did not shrink immediately, and they would not show him for a moment.

Hold your breath and concentrate, not long after hiding, the sound of a rope was heard in the distance, and the monks continued to sweep towards the place where they had just fought. A group of monks almost swept under the tree where he was hiding, and did not notice anyone hiding in the tree. In a few moments, no less than fifty monks had gathered there. After arguing for a while, the crowd centered on the battlefield just now, spread out along the left front in a fan, and quickly searched out.

Su Aotian waited for a cup of tea, quickly got down from the tree, and returned to the battlefield where he had attacked the group of monks just now. Anyway, he chose a big tree and hid himself in the same way as before. This time, after waiting for another meal, there was a sound of ropes on all sides, and people returned one after another.

After a while, the people were almost there, and a monk asked in a deep voice, "Have you found anything?" The man who spoke before said, "This thief is so cunning that he must have decided that we would pursue him, so he did the opposite and fled to the rear." This little thief's cultivation is not high, and his walking speed is definitely not faster than mine, and he must not have run far around here now. We are still searching back in a fan shape, no need to be fast, so as not to miss anything. You wait for a few people to go back and report it, and say that we have found the trace of the thief, and let the Taoist friends behind you also search carefully, so that this thief will not escape. The monks agreed loudly, and the group went their separate ways.

Su Aotian quietly waited for the monks to leave for a meal, and then fell from the tree, just now he had already detected that there were no monks around the tree, and there was no need to hide his tracks too much at this moment, and quickly walked towards the left front.

This sound has left the search team far behind. He hurried for two days, but no monk had come to him. So I stopped to identify the direction, and remembered that I was breaking through to the left front, and before that I had made a big circle around the center of the dense forest, I should have gone around to the other side of the woods, so if I want to get out now, I just need to turn to the right.

Now turn to the right and walk. After walking for a long time, he felt that a monk appeared in the distance behind him, and quickly chased after him. Then he felt a large number of monks approaching him quickly, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "Could it be that I have been discovered?" I heard the noise behind me getting louder and louder, and it seemed that someone was hurrying at high speed, and it didn't look like a careful search at all, and I was puzzled. I thought to myself: "If I run as hard as I can, it seems that I am not as fast as the people behind me, but I will expose my whereabouts." Looking at their appearance, they don't mean to stay, it doesn't look like they are searching for people, and they can only gamble for the sake of today. So he released his divine sense to probe the location of the people behind him, and at the same time sneaked around, carefully keeping his distance from them.

After a while, a group of monks swept by about a hundred feet from the left, and without stopping, they went straight ahead. I vaguely heard someone shouting: "Hurry up, don't stop!" Immediately afterward, several more groups of monks rushed to the front. Su Aotian couldn't help but think: "Could it be that something happened ahead?" This action became more and more cautious and continued to move forward.

After a short time, there were no traces of people behind it. Su Aotian was at a loss for a while, but he couldn't stop still, no matter what happened in front of him, he couldn't sit still here, if something big happened, he could just fish in troubled waters, maybe he would have a chance to get out. Thinking of this, I still quickened my pace and continued to move forward.

After another half a day, I suddenly heard another movement from behind, and this time there were quite a few monks approaching again, but the speed was a little slower than the previous group. The range between these people is widened, and they shuttle back and forth from time to time, as if they are searching, but most of the time they pass by like dragonflies and water, and they do not search carefully. He didn't dare to be careless, and while keeping a close eye on their whereabouts, he cautiously moved towards the weak point where the personnel crossed. The gang searched and searched, and their conversation was much more real, and suddenly they heard a sentence: "Don't be careless, although our main task is not to search, but if we can find that thief, wouldn't it be better?"

I heard another voice say, "I heard that the senior of Gongliang was reprimanded by the owner." Another person arrived: "Who told him to make meritorious service, and even asked everyone to search back, so that this little thief took the opportunity to slip away." A voice continued: "The owner of the village is clever, it is expected that this little thief will definitely go outside the Dark Moon Forest, so he asked Senior Zhao to rush forward and search back from the side of the Dark Moon Forest. Another person arrived: "Why didn't the owner of the village and the five elders of the Heavenly Jianzong come to search in person?" A voice sneered: "What is the identity of the owner of the village and the five elders, personally searching for a thief in the Qi refining period, how can there be face when you say it?" Moreover, there are still some powerful fierce beasts in the depths of this Dark Moon Forest, and the aura of the Monk Ji Dan will definitely alarm them, in case these fierce beasts come out, there will be chaos in the Dark Moon Forest, and this little thief may take the opportunity to escape. ”

After listening to it for a long time, Su Aotian realized that he had come full circle, and it turned out that he had run to the Dark Moon Forest!

He didn't know that this Dark Moon Forest stretched for hundreds of miles, covering an extremely vast area, covering almost the entire place to the west of Yuanwu City, and almost all of them had to pass through this Dark Moon Forest when starting or returning from the west of the city.

Hearing the enemy's deployment, he couldn't help but secretly complain: "The owner of this Lingcui Villa is also capable, and if he finds a loophole, he will immediately make up for it, if his deployment is completed, won't he fall into the encirclement of the other party again!"

It is absolutely impossible to turn back, and his only hope is to take advantage of the other party's encirclement before it is formed, highlight the Dark Moon Forest, and then immediately flee away, in order to have a glimmer of life!

The plan in my heart has been decided, let's not hurry to go first, the monks behind the situation will not catch up for a while, it is better to rest for a while, and wait for this wave of monks to go away before acting.

After waiting for a while, the whereabouts of these monks could not be felt, and there was silence in all directions, Su Aotian sat cross-legged and thought about how to get out.

In the past few days, Su Aotian has been on the road, during which he has experienced a fierce battle, although it was short, but the consumption of spiritual energy is extremely large, and it has not been replenished, and now it is close to exhaustion.

At this time, looking at the deployment of the other party, I caught up with the several waves of monks who went forward, and there must be foundation building monks among them, and if you have to fight hard, I am afraid that it will not be as easy as before. In his current state, there is almost no chance of winning. Then continue to sneak and move forward slowly, only afraid that they will fall into the encirclement of the other party, for the sake of today, the only way is to take risks, while the encirclement has not yet formed, forcibly break through. But now that the aura is almost depleted, it needs to be replenished as soon as possible.

After thinking about it, I decided to practice for half a day first and replenish my aura. The wood in this forest is full of vitality, maybe the cultivation will get twice the result with half the effort. Just as he was about to enter the Dingxing Gong, his mind suddenly moved, and he remembered something, and hurriedly took it out of the storage bag, which was the stone full of wood aura that he got from Zhao Yuhao's hand.

Su Aotian didn't know about this thing, but only guessed that it might be something for monks to cultivate, and at this time, the dead horse was regarded as a live horse doctor, so let's try it. At this time, concentrating, the hundred grass divine wood decided to operate, trying to absorb the aura in this stone, and after a try, sure enough, the wood aura rolled in, pouring into the liver along the meridians, and then poured into the dantian, the number was so large, the speed was so fast, I don't know how many times faster than the usual cultivation!

It turns out that absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth into the body still needs to be condensed in the body to form aura, and it often takes more than a dozen or dozens of filaments to condense into a trace of aura. At this time, all the aura that enters the body is aura, and there is no need to condense it, not to mention, it is purer than the aura condensed by yourself!

After verifying that this stone could indeed be used for cultivation, Su Aotian was overjoyed in his heart, concentrated all his strength, and began to operate the exercises with all his concentration, and the spiritual energy continued to pour into his body, as if it was endless. With a thought in his mind, he let go of the two tiny meridians, and the three meridians absorbed the aura of the stone together, and the stone could still be supplied.

With such concentration on cultivation, I unconsciously passed a day's work. I was cultivating to the point where I forgot about everything, when suddenly my divine consciousness sensed that there was a monk's breath in the distance, and I was shocked, so I withdrew from cultivation.

After checking the results of his cultivation first, Su Aotian couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, it turned out that only this day's cultivation had broken through to the fifth stage of qi refining!

He was already on the verge of breaking through, the aura was almost exhausted in the past few days, the so-called old power was exhausted, and the new power was born, it was originally a great time to cultivate, and the aura absorbed from this stone was extremely pure, and the number was also extremely large, and this time it was a matter of course, and he successfully broke through.
