Volume 2: Evil Chapter 66: The Land of Frustration
After escaping for hundreds of miles, Zhao Hong breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he ruined the opponent's flying magic weapon, if he wanted to fight against those two tall monks, he would definitely not be pleased, and in the end, he would inevitably be hunted down and killed. All the way to the east, he unknowingly entered the realm of the demon race, there are too many unknown things here, even the power of ordinary human monks may not dare to be careless, not to mention that he is just a sorcerer who has just broken through the "reality realm".
At the same time, Zhao Hong was also puzzled about his interception, originally he thought that there must be demon beasts in the demon realm, how could there be human monks? He was sure that the three monks he saw were all human monks, except for the girl who was a little weird, the other two were human monks.
"Old Dragon, do you know what the identities of the three of them are?" Zhao Hong knew that Lao Long was well-informed, so he decided to ask Lao Long for advice.
"Demon cultivator. To Zhao Hong's surprise, the old dragon, who has always been verbose and does not forget to boast, answered concisely and to the point this time.
However, Zhao Hong still asked in surprise, "What is a demon cultivator?"
The old dragon snorted and said angrily, "Young man, have you forgotten something?"
Zhao Hong rubbed his forehead, frowned, and said, "Okay, call you Master Long, it's okay......"
"That's pretty much it...... Young man, the deity was also ...... back then"
"Speak quickly!"
Lao Long's voice was interrupted by Zhao Hong's reprimand, and after being stunned, he began to explain one by one.
Most of the demon realms are wild places, and in this wilderness, those fierce beasts and beasts have their own territory, and they usually do not invade each other. Moreover, the entire demon realm also maintains a delicate balance with the human territory, and there is very little interaction between humans and demons.
This is not difficult to understand, for example, if a demon beast suddenly appears in the city of the human race, the human race must regard it as a great enemy, and get rid of it quickly. The reverse is also true, if a human being ventures into the demon realm, it is also a rather dangerous thing. The hearts of non-my race must be different, and the so-called shemales are not separate, which is mainly the reason.
That being said, it is not uncommon for shemales to have sex and even get married and have children. Especially when the demon beast has cultivated to the point where it can transform into a human form, it is also common to interact with humans. The offspring they give birth to often have a very high probability of becoming demon cultivators.
The so-called demon cultivation is born with a human form, but the mental nature and cultivation characteristics are no different from those of the demon clan, which is more suitable for cultivating the demon clan's exercises. Demon cultivators tend to be very irritable, but there are also some demon cultivators who don't like to fight, and they also trade with human cultivators to exchange cultivation resources. Moreover, demon cultivators often have good cultivation potential, and they can even take various pills to speed up their cultivation like human cultivators. In this way, a few of the offspring born from the intermarriage between human monks and demon cultivators were extremely talented, and their cultivation speed was more than ten times higher than that of ordinary monks.
The wavy-haired girl that Zhao Hong had met before was exactly the kind of descendant of a few demon cultivators with extremely amazing talents.
After Zhao Hong figured out the matter about demon cultivation, he didn't have much interest in delving into it. What he cares more about now is to find the entrance to the Great Wilderness, and of course, it is also urgent to continuously improve his strength along the way.
Now there are two roads in front of him, one is to the east to the East China Sea, one of the entrances to the Great Wilderness that Xin Yu guessed, Hexu Mountain, which is said to be in the East China Sea. To the north, you can go to the field of Zhuolu, which is also one of the entrances to the great wilderness guessed by Xin Yu. After Zhao Hong thought about it for a while, he chose to go north.
As for the reason, on the one hand, the theory of Hexu Mountain is too illusory, even if he arrives in the East China Sea, whether he can find Hexu Mountain or not, and how long it will take, are incalculable;
At this time, Zhao Hong didn't dare to stay any longer, but hurried north while seizing the time to cultivate. His cultivation in the "Witch Codex" can already "go anywhere", and he does not have to stick to his cultivation posture, so there is no conflict between rushing and cultivating.
In the blink of an eye, a month later, Zhao Hong felt that his strength had increased again, and he had reached the peak of the early stage of the "real world". Perhaps, as long as he gets the opportunity, the day when he will break through to the middle stage does not seem to be far away.
More importantly, he has a deeper understanding of the law of "fixation", although he still has no clue about cracking the exorcism spell of the "Four Elephant Mirrors", but he has a certain grasp of the drawing of the "fixation charm" and the practice of the "fixation spell".
......
On this day, the sky near Kongsang Mountain suddenly snowed with goose feathers, and pieces of snowflakes like huge dandelions fell from the sky in gusts of cold hurricanes, enveloping the entire mountain range in it, and in a blink of an eye, only a white expanse was left between the sky and the earth, and there was no other color. Almost instantly, the snow on the ground skyrocketed.
Such a large snowstorm is not common even in the north, and ordinary people are reluctant to go out in this weather. But at this time, a dazzling red rainbow suddenly shot out from Kongsang Mountain, and after a flash, it disappeared from the nearby air without a trace.
Just a few breaths later, Chihong appeared somewhere at the foot of Kongsang Mountain, and as soon as the light flickered, a red-robed young man appeared, who was Zhao Hongqi. After more than a month of intensive retreat, he finally managed to break through to the middle stage of the "reality world".
During this period, Zhao Hong also successfully practiced the "Fixation Mantra" and successfully drew more than a dozen "Fixation Talismans". However, to his regret, the Spiral Turtle Blood he had collected before had been used up, and he was missing the refining materials for the mid-level talismans next.
With his current cultivation, of course, he didn't dare to release the tortoise out again to collect blood. However, for a few fourth-level demon beasts such as the spinning turtle, Zhao Hong also had other plans. He was going to wait for him to comprehend the exorcism spell of the "Four Elephant Mirrors" and then seal them in the "Four Elephant Mirrors".
However, for more than a month, although he tried countless times, he still failed to comprehend the exorcism spell. He always felt as if something was missing, and he was still one step away from enlightenment.
The surroundings are white, the wind is cold, and huge snowflakes are fluttering all over the sky. Zhao Hong was thinking about it, when suddenly his soul sense swept to the three Terran monks chasing and killing a second-level demon beast.
Zhao Hong also thought that there was a problem with his soul sense, in the realm of the demon clan, there would be a human monk chasing and killing the demon beast?!
He checked it again with his soul sense, but soon he realized that he was not mistaken, it was really a few Terran monks chasing and killing a demon beast. The monster beast that ran for its life in front of it was shaped like an ordinary cow but had tiger-like markings, and its cry was like that of a human moaning.
Zhao Hong immediately put away his soul sense, and a dodge had already stopped the second-level demon beast, and with a casual kick, he directly kicked the second-level demon beast demon and fainted. At this moment, the three Terran cultivators who were chasing and killing the demon beast had already arrived, and they saw with their own eyes that Zhao Hong could kick a second-level demon beast with a random kick, and they immediately stopped their figures, and they all became terrified.
Obviously, Zhao Hong's cultivation was much higher than them, and the three Terran monks hurriedly said to Zhao Hong, "I've seen my predecessors. ”
"Senior?" Zhao Hong was stunned for a moment, and then understood that the Terran monks pay attention to "those who attain the first", and it is common for them to call "seniors" when they encounter a cultivator who is higher than themselves. So he nodded, and then asked, "This is the Demon Clan Realm, how can you hunt demon beasts openly?
The three Terran monks immediately understood what Zhao Hong meant, and one of the white-bearded old man monks stood up and replied respectfully, "Senior, maybe you have just arrived in the land of Frustration, right?"
Zhao Hong nodded and replied, "This is the place of frustration?" That's right, I just arrived here, what's wrong?"
The white-bearded monk hurriedly said: "Seniors may not know, although this place is extremely far away from Middle Earth, but this is not the depths of the demon clan's territory, Kongsang Mountain belongs to the edge of the junction of the human and demon races, to the south is the demon clan domain, and to the north is the range of human activities. In front of us is the city of Fuwu, and the three of us are the monks in the city of Fuwu. This is also within the confines of the Land of Frustration. ”
Zhao Hong suddenly understood a little, and it seemed that he had left the demon clan realm. He suddenly remembered a question, the demon cultivator girl and the tall monk before would not chase after the Terran territory to stop him, right? When he thought about it, he was a little glad that he was right to change his route to the north, at least for more than a month, he did not notice the trace of the demon cultivator.
These three Terran monks didn't dare to make any moves before Zhao Hong spoke, and they didn't dare to leave.
Zhao Hong came back to his senses and asked again, "What kind of place is Wu City?
The white-bearded monk had already determined that Zhao Hong was really not familiar with this place at all, and it was estimated that he had only traveled through this place, so he immediately said: "Back to the predecessors, this area is indeed a place where a large number of monks live, because this is a place where humans and demons meet, so many monks have come to hunt demon beasts and obtain cultivation resources. There are three major forces in the city, which we generally call the 'Three Mountains'. ”
"Tell me about it. Zhao Hong immediately asked.
The white-bearded monk couldn't feel Zhao Hong's cultivation realm, but Zhao Hong's cultivation was too high, far beyond his senses. And Zhao Hong was able to have such a high level of cultivation at a young age, presumably from which major sect he came from. So he didn't dare to slack off at all, and said very carefully:
"'Three Mountains' is the collective name of the three major forces here, namely 'Fanghu Mountain', 'Penghu Mountain' and 'Yinghu Mountain', which correspond to the three major immortal cultivation gangs: 'Huoyun Faction', 'Cold Ice Faction' and 'Qingzhu Gang'. The head of the Huoyun Sect is arrogant, and I heard that he is already the peak predecessor of the 'Refining Qi and Transforming God'; Feng Luoyan, the head of the Cold Ice Sect, is also a late cultivator of the 'Refining and Transforming God'; and the Qingzhu Gang has three gang leaders, and I heard that they are all seniors of the 'Refining and Transforming God'. ”
Although Zhao Hong was not very familiar with the division of the Terran cultivation realm, he could guess that these three monks were just the realm of "refining and refining qi" after a slight glance at the three monks. As for the specifics of the early, middle and late stages, he didn't have much interest in knowing. However, their cultivation was so low, but they still hunted demon beasts in this wild place regardless of the danger, which made Zhao Hong very strange.
"Then why don't you go to Middle-earth, but instead cultivate in this kind of place?" Zhao Hong asked suspiciously.
The monk immediately bowed down again and replied, "Senior, in fact, many of us have come from Middle-earth. Because although the land of Middle-earth is suitable for cultivation, the resources are too expensive and scarce, and most of them are monopolized by various sects. And it is difficult for monks with average qualifications like us to find a good sect to join, and even if we enter the sect, it is difficult to get good resources. But here it is different, as long as we work hard, although it is dangerous to go out to find cultivation resources, it will pay off almost every time. ”
Zhao Hong had some understanding, although there were many sects in the land of Middle-earth, there were many monks. If you don't have good qualifications and backgrounds, and you don't get favored by the major immortal cultivation sects, it is really difficult to get good resources. And here, as long as they work hard and accumulate slowly, they will make progress every day, and one day they will be able to cultivate to the extreme.
And the location of this place is also excellent, to the south is countless demon beasts, hunting demon beasts can obtain resources such as demon pills, to the west is the land of Middle Earth, suitable for trading and exchanging resources, to the east is the vast sea, there are more inexhaustible resources. This is the case with the three major forces of the "Three Mountains", so they have been able to gain a foothold for a long time.
"That's good. Zhao Hong subconsciously responded.
"Yes, Senpai. However, the only bad thing is that there are often high-level demon beasts infested, but fortunately, the 'Three Mountains' forces will generally unite in this situation and resist together. The monk chimed in.
Zhao Hong didn't ask again, just pointed to the fainting demon beast and said, "Do you know what kind of demon beast this is?"
"This beast's name is '軨軨' beast, and it is a second-level water attribute demon beast. This beast demon pill has been completed, it can summon floods, and everywhere it goes in wartime is a monstrous wave. Use this beast demon pill to refine the 'Water Spirit Pill' to help water cultivators improve their cultivation. If the seniors don't dislike it, you can take the demon pill away, and the three of us only need to share the body of the demon beast, and I hope the seniors don't blame it. The white-bearded monk complimented.
Although the three of them came for the demon pill of the beast, the beast was obviously subdued by Zhao Hong, and Zhao Hong's cultivation was much higher than the three of them, the three of them were all human spirits who had lived for many years, and they still understood the truth of self-preservation. Although the demon pill is precious, it is obviously not a wise move to offend the predecessors for the sake of a demon pill.
"No, I'll give you this beast...... Zhao Hong didn't care about the demon pill they cherished, and said nonchalantly.
This thing was useless to him in the first place, and besides, the three Terran monks had answered many of his questions honestly just now, and he was willing to do it.
The white-bearded monk was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't believe it, but he quickly said respectfully: "Thank you seniors for your success! Wucheng is less than thirty miles away from here, and if the seniors want to go, the three juniors are willing to lead the way." ”
Zhao Hong politely refused to say, "I understand the kindness, but I am still used to being alone", and then said goodbye to the three of them.
"This senior is so young and rich, he doesn't even seem to take the 'Water Spirit Pill' in his eyes. The white-bearded monk looked at the direction of Zhao Hong's disappearance and sighed.
