Volume 1 Wind and Rain in the South Chapter 5 Inner Valley
A day later, Xu Yao appeared on a hill, and after passing this hill, he arrived at the junction of the outer valley and the inner valley, which is also the place where the iron snake lives the most.
Xu Yao's plan is to find a place where the iron snake lives, find out the predation rules of the iron snake, and then use the iron hyena, which the iron snake likes to eat, as bait to lure it away from the group, and then try to attract the fire crow.
Clematis and fire crows are natural mortal enemies, the two sides often meet endlessly, of course, the general clemat snake is a civilized demon beast and likes to live in groups after adulthood, is the absolute upper hand, but there are exceptions to everything, a group of adult fire crows encounter a lone cleavage snake The result is of course self-evident.
Even if the clemat snake does not die, it is seriously injured, and then Xu Yao can compete with the clam to make a profit, but there is still a risk, to lead out a wire snake that cannot be too high or too low.
If the level is too high, the spirit may not be fooled, and if it is too low, it will not meet the requirements of the trial at all, it is best to be a wire snake that has just become an adult, and it is also a certain risk to lead out a group of adult fire crows, after all, it can surround the wire snake, and of course it can also surround Xu Yao. But this is already the best plan that Xu Yao has come up with, and it is impossible to take no risk at all.
Xu Yao quickly walked through this hill and began to look for the group of clematics, and slowly half a day passed, Xu Yao stopped and frowned, not to mention the clematica, Xu Yao didn't even find any traces of the recent activities of the telephile snake in the past half a day.
This is very unreasonable, as far as Xu Yao knows, the clemat snake does not have the habit of ordinary snakes hibernating, but it will be less active in winter, but now is the spring when everything is recovering, it stands to reason that it is one of the most active seasons of the clematica, near its settlement, the clemat snake cannot not leave a trace, the only explanation is that there is no cleature snake nearby.
This is also an incredible thing in Xu Yao's heart, as the hegemon of the Outer Valley, the Iron Snake can be said to occupy the position of the peak group of the Outer Valley, and the snake does not like to migrate, and it is impossible for him to take the initiative to leave the long-term settlement.
And there are only hundreds of trial disciples, there is no reason, and there is no ability to kill most of the clematic snakes in the outer valley, so thinking about it, it should be due to some force majeure factor that caused most of the clematic snakes to leave the place where they have lived for a long time, and they must have taken the initiative to leave.
Thinking of this, Xu Yao frowned deeply, the last thing he wanted to see was this kind of situation beyond his control, which reminded him of meeting Xu Wennan Bai Weiyi before, and then meeting high-level monks one after another, that feeling of life and death in the hands of others, Xu Yao slowly clenched his fists and took a deep breath, since he can't hide, then come.
Xu Yao sorted out his thoughts for a while, and felt that he should be the first to figure out what was going on here, if the clemat snake left, such a big move, someone would definitely know, and Xu Yao had a faint intuition that the inexplicable disappearance of the clemat snake this time was probably related to the trial disciple this time.
Xu Yao inexplicably thought of Bai Yijia, who proposed to form a temporary alliance, and the white-haired young man with a sword who was not allowed to enter, with Bai Yijia's cultivation in the middle stage of Qi training, and a child of a family, this trial was not the slightest difficulty at all, Xu Yao had always guessed that it had another purpose for promoting the alliance, and most of the disciples should also see it, but no one had any reaction.
As for the white-haired young man holding the sword, the aura is even stronger and more terrifying, saying that Xu Yao, a disciple of the deacon of the outer gate, believes that this kind of character is different from ordinary disciples, and he should not participate in the trial of the outer gate now. However, now, he can only take one step, look at one step, no matter what, he must find the iron snake, Xu Yao is secretly helpless, this outer door trial is a must for Xu Yao.
Xu Yao didn't want to make any extraneous troubles, but now he had to make contact with other disciples to find out what had happened during his previous stay, causing a large part of the Clematis Clan to disappear into the outer valley.
Fortunately, the trial time is just over half now, no matter what, there should still be many trial disciples staying here, Xu Yao plans to find some trial disciples to find out what is going on.
Xu Yao immediately stopped looking for traces of the iron wire snake and began to pay attention to whether there were any other trial disciples nearby.
Soon Xu Yao found that there were traces of the monk's activities in front of him, and immediately followed the traces to look for them, and soon found a disciple holding a magic sword not far away, and the disciple also instantly found Xu Yao who had nothing to hide, looking at the trial disciple with a wary face on the opposite side, Xu Yao arched his hand unhurriedly.
"In Xia Xu Yao, I just came here to hunt the cleatic snake in order to complete the trial task, but found that there was no clemat snake here, so I came to find the same door to inquire about one or two. The disciple on the other side was obviously relieved after discovering that Xu Yao only had the second layer of qi refining, but he didn't hide anything and began to talk to Xu Yao.
Three hours later, Xu Yao stood on a boulder with an ugly face, looking at the inner valley, the disappearance of the clemat snake was really related to the trial disciples this time, according to the trial disciples he met just now, two days ago, the alliance led by Bai Yijia and other seven fourth-layer Qi refining cultivators began to hunt the clemat snake in this area, and many disciples who did not choose to join forces also followed behind and wanted to pick up the bargain.
But soon something unexpected happened to everyone, when the third attack, the seven Qi refining fourth-layer cultivators caused a riot of the Clematis group, and a large number of Clematis left their settlements and began to hunt down the various trial disciples, and since most of the disciples were relatively concentrated, they met the angry Clement Snake group without realizing it.
However, the mid-stage Qi refining cultivators who were supposed to be the mainstay of the Qi Refining Dynasty all disappeared strangely, and suddenly the rest of the trial disciples were killed and injured, and the Iron Snake did not stay after the rage, nor did they return to their previous settlement, but all poured into the inner valley like a river returning to the sea.
At this time, the disciples of the trials were dumbfounded, except for a few lucky ones, most of the disciples did not get the opportunity to kill the wire snake, this time the wire snake poured into the inner valley, and the difficulty of killing suddenly increased several times, and everyone gritted their teeth and more or less guessed that it should be used by Bai Yijia and others.
Now most of the trial disciples either choose to give up the trial, or choose to enter the inner valley to kill the iron snake, after hesitating, most of the trial disciples still enter the inner valley, and many people can't afford to wait for the next three years.
Xu Yao doesn't have many choices now, but he expects that the promotion trials of the outer gate will be smooth sailing, and now he will be able to successfully complete the task after entering the inner valley Xu Yao is not at all sure at the moment. Xu Yao took a deep breath and walked towards Neigu with a determined look in his eyes.
Xu Yao has never entered the inner valley, but now he doesn't need to find any way, the migration route of the iron snake is too obvious, Xu Yao is moving forward cautiously, the aura of the inner valley is obviously much richer, it is the world of demon beasts above the middle stage of qi refining, Xu Yao basically needs to retreat when he encounters it, and there is even no lack of demon beasts in the late stage of qi refining, so he can't help but be careless.
On the way, he also met other disciples sporadically, but most of them looked like they were in a hurry, and although Xu Yao was puzzled, he didn't go up to talk about himself.
Bai Yijia and the others' plans must be very big, otherwise even if they take the cultivation of the middle stage of Qi cultivation as the realm, it is quite dangerous to rashly break into the inner valley, even the monks in the late stage of Qi training here have the possibility of falling, but all this should have nothing to do with Xu Yao, as a miscellaneous disciple, Xu Yao can't lose this outer door trial, let alone lose, and when he waits for the next trial, he will be expelled because of his bone age, which is obviously unacceptable to Xu Yao.
With Xu Yao's cultivation of the second layer of Qi training, the outer valley is still unable to come and go freely, and the inner valley is even more difficult, and a bad luck is the way to death, but fortunately, due to the opening of the road by the wire snake, this road seems to be a lot smoother, obviously for most demon beasts, it is still a very troublesome thing to face a group of iron wire snakes who are not afraid of death.
