Chapter 0009: Road Encounters Crisis
Looking down from the sky, below the thin clouds, there is a blue ocean. Islands of different shapes and sizes are scattered among them, like patterns dotted with blue satin.
Among the many islands, there is one that is more unique, in the shape of a regular five-star. Thick vegetation covers the entire island, leaving it all verdant.
At this moment, the sun has not yet exposed the sea level. But the fiery red light has covered the heavens and the earth, and the whole world is just like a colorful morning light picture.
At the north corner of the five-star island, a white shadow sits on a reef about three feet above the sea, silent, its eyes level, letting the wind blow and the waves roar.
He is the Xia Mo who left the sect and went out.
After about half a cup of tea, Xia Mo slowly got up, frowned slightly, turned to look at the lush forest, and muttered: "It's been half a month, I hope you can give me what I want." ”
As soon as he had finished speaking, he packed his bags and strode towards the forest.
After leaving the Liuyun Sect that day, Xia Mo went straight to the east and reached the coast in one day and one night. Then he bought a fishing boat, went out to sea alone, and continued east.
After he crossed over, he heard many people say that on the islands in the depths of the sea, there are powerful beasts, which are excellent places for martial artists to train, but they are also extremely dangerous places.
In the surrounding cities, martial artists who have reached the eight-star martial arts want to quickly break the mirror, either by taking pills or going to sea to experience and stimulate their potential with difficulties.
After reaching the martial arts realm, it is more difficult to improve cultivation, and the effect of ordinary elixirs is not great, while elixir elixirs are extremely difficult to find, and the only way is to improve through battle.
The powerhouses of the major forces in Tianxie City were all promoted by fighting with fierce beasts. However, the place where they fought was in the Tiger Mountain in the east of the city, not on the island in the sea.
According to legend, some people have gone to sea to practice, but most of them have gone and never returned. Occasionally, those who come back are also dying, and even become invalids.
Only a very small number of people have succeeded in breaking through the mirror, and they have become powerful and powerful in the eyes of everyone, going to big places, entering powerful forces, and soaring into the sky.
This is enough to show that the beasts on the islands in the sea are extremely powerful, and if they go, they will die for a lifetime.
Therefore, many warriors did not dare to go rashly. After all, it's important to be alive.
As a traverser, Xia Mo wants to better protect the people around him and wants to light the sect, so he must improve his cultivation, and he must improve quickly to suppress the powerhouses of the major forces.
Therefore, he had to go out of the sect to train himself, so that his cultivation could be improved.
Tiger Mountain was originally the first choice, but if you go there, you will inevitably encounter people from other forces, so you will be dragged back and unable to go back, and the Liuyun Sect will be in danger of extinction.
Therefore, Xia Mo chose to go to sea, and while improving his cultivation in fighting, he also understood the mystery of the emperor's swordsmanship and Qiankun's mental method at a deeper level.
But what Xia Mo didn't expect was that after three days of sailing in the wind and waves, after arriving on this island, the situation was not as imagined.
In more than ten days, he landed on five islands, each of which ran through it, and some even walked horizontally and vertically several times.
But what about the result? Not to mention the beasts, the bigger animals are hard to see.
Although he was very disappointed, Xia Mo would not give up until the end. So, he landed on this five-star island again today.
This island is the largest of the surrounding islands, and the diameter of the center is still more than 100 miles, excluding the sharp corners that are more than five miles deep into the sea.
If there were no beasts on this island, the trip to sea would have been a failure.
After visiting the scene in person, Xia Mo even had some doubts about the authenticity of those rumors.
After walking less than a mile, Xia Mo had already come to the edge of the dense forest, and further on, there was a large primeval forest, and it was very easy to get lost.
However, this did not stop Xia Mo, and continued to move forward, submerging into the forest.
As we go deeper, the forest becomes denser and denser, and the trees become taller and taller, and some even require several adults to hold hands, reaching to the sky, as if connected with the white clouds in the sky.
The light became darker and darker because of the obscurations of the trees, and the dead branches and leaves on the ground became more and more thick, and every step made a rustling sound.
After walking for about a stick of incense, Xia Mo decided that he had come to the outskirts of the island. But there are still no shadows of large animals, and there are few birds, so it seems extremely empty.
"Am I really going to come for nothing?"
Xia Mo thought so, very unwilling and unbelieving in his heart.
Not to mention that it is on another earthly continent, even on the earth, such a large island, and it has not been destroyed by humans, how can there be no large animals?
The word unscientific kept rolling in Xia Mo's mind.
After walking for about another stick of incense, a mountain range about ten zhang high and unknown geometry appeared in front of Xia Mo's eyes, blocking the way directly.
But this was not the focus of Xia Mo's attention, at this moment, what he was concerned about was the roar of the beast coming from the other side of the mountain, although it was intermittent, but it was very clear to hear.
Swish!
Xia Mo's eyes lit up, his spirit seemed better, and he immediately climbed the mountain with his legs, and it didn't take long to reach the top of the mountain.
At this time, standing on the top of the mountain and looking down, there is still a vast forest that cannot be seen at a glance. It's just that it's not so flat, undulating, and it's a typical mountainous landform.
About two miles below the mountain is a flat land, almost perfectly square, about five miles in length and width. It was from there that the roar of the beast came from, and it seemed that there were quite a few of them.
Xia Mo descended the mountain full of hope, and his hand was on the hilt of his sword, so that he could draw his sword and fight at any time.
After coming to the bottom of the mountain, Xia Mo saw that there were many footprints on the ground, and they were all very large, which must have been left by large beasts.
Not only that, but there are also traces of fights everywhere, which are caused by the fighting of different kinds of fierce beasts after encountering.
At this time, the beast's roar was clearer, one after another, and it could be heard with anger and murderous aura, there must be a battle.
Xia Mo slowly approached the source of the sound, first to see what kind of beast it was, and then make a plan.
But just as he was about to reach the center of the flatland, he couldn't believe what was happening.
About a hundred zhang away, a purple figure was leaping and leaping, avoiding the fierce beasts attacking from all directions.
Although I couldn't see the person's face clearly, I knew at a glance that it was a woman, and it was a young woman.
The woman was also a sword cultivator, and the long sword in her hand was stained with red blood, and it kept flying in all directions with a wave, splashing on countless branches and leaves.
And her long purple dress was also scratched in many places, revealing bloody skin, which made people feel heartache to watch.
At this time, the woman's face and body were covered with blood, and she almost became a bloody person. I don't know if it was her own blood or the blood of beasts.
On the ground, there were already more than a dozen beast corpses, all of which were wild wolves with a body length of more than nine feet and a shoulder height of more than six feet.
But around her, there are more wild wolves besieging and fighting in batches, very organized, and it should be to use attrition tactics to exhaust the woman and kill her.
Looking at the shape of those wild wolves, you can see that they are extremely powerful, and it is difficult for anyone to survive under siege. Unless, the besieged person's cultivation is extremely high.
But Xia Mo could see at a glance that the woman's cultivation was only a seven-star martial artist, not a strong person.
Now she is almost to the point where she runs out of oil and the lamp is dry, and at most she will fall down after a cup of tea and become the food in the mouths of the wolves.
Xia Mo was very strange, why these wild wolves howled not wolf howls, but like howls, like lion roars. But at this time, he was no longer allowed to think too much.
Although he is not a good person, it is impossible for Xia Mo to watch humans being wiped out by wolves. Also, it's nice to have someone to talk to in a place like this.
So, Xia Mo moved.
I saw that his feet were on the ground a little, and his body flew out like arrows off the string, pressing towards the wolves, and the shouting echoed in the mountains at the same time.
"Brute, Hugh hurts!"
