Chapter Twenty-Eight: Life and Death
Qiao Yuan stood on the top of the tree and looked in the direction where the roar came, and there were two big red lanterns hanging in the air in the distance, but he took a closer look, where was the big red lantern, it was clearly a pair of red eyes.
Those eyes were blood-red, extremely conspicuous in the dark mountain forest, like two fireballs hanging in the air, blinking from time to time, the fiery red light flickered, and it looked extraordinarily calm.
But all this shocked Qiao Yuan at most, and it wouldn't make him shocked.
What shocked him was that he saw the blood-red eyes staring in his direction, as if he were staring at him.
And as time went by, the fiery red eyes got bigger and bigger, which showed that it was coming in the direction of Qiao Yuan.
Qiao Yuan thought of this and his scalp tingled, although he didn't know if this fiery red demon beast was coming at him, but if it was discovered, if he didn't sacrifice the rune treasure, he would definitely be unable to resist.
Qiao Yuan was convinced of this, and never had any luck mentality, from the roar just now, he had heard the roar just now, and the roar he heard after cutting the python during the day, was issued by the same demon beast, and the spiritual power fluctuations that came out of it were extremely powerful.
Qiao Yuan compared the spiritual power fluctuations he felt on Xiao Qingyun's body, and immediately estimated that the spiritual power fluctuations of this unknown demon beast were at least dozens of times stronger than Xiao Qingyun.
Although he didn't know Xiao Qingyun's cultivation, with Xiao Qingyun's demonic qualifications and cultivation for more than half a year, coupled with Xiao Qingxuan's words and looks that day, as well as his own understanding of the cultivation level in the book, it could be roughly deduced that Xiao Qingyun should have reached the foundation building period.
As for what stage it was in the foundation building period, he didn't know, but at least it was also the early stage of foundation building, and Qiao Yuan deduced that this unknown demon beast was at least the cultivation of the middle stage of foundation building.
In fact, Qiao Yuan still underestimated Xiao Qingyun's cultivation, and even more underestimated the cultivation of this red-eyed demon beast. Xiao Qingyun's qualifications were against the sky, and after cultivating in the Dust Tree Realm with extremely strong aura for nine months, his cultivation had already reached the middle stage of foundation building before he left the Dust Tree Realm, and the cultivation of this red-eyed demon beast had even reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Building.
However, whether it is the middle stage of foundation building or the Great Perfection of foundation building, there is no difference to Qiao Yuan, this kind of cultivation is not as simple as pinching an ant to death for this third-level Qi refining cultivator, it is not much worse.
Therefore, Qiao Yuan didn't want to stay and observe what this demon beast was, but directly hugged Bai Yue tightly, put away the pots and pans and other miscellaneous items on the ground, and immediately fled into the distance.
In the dark mountain forest, Qiao Yuan kept shuttling among the trees, he didn't use the technique of Ruo Fengxing, after all, this technique could not last long, if it was not at a critical moment, it would be even more dangerous.
And he didn't know if using spiritual power would make the red-eyed demon beast notice him, and the best way was not to use the slightest spiritual power.
After running wildly for a long time, Qiao Yuan suddenly heard a very angry and furious roar behind him, at this time he had run more than fifty miles, but this roar came clearly into his ears, and faintly made his eardrums tingle.
The roar was even more terrifying than the two that preceded him, and he was stepping on a tree branch, which almost made him fall off the branch on his feet.
Qiao Yuan didn't understand why this red-eyed demon beast was so angry and irritable, but he didn't have time to think about it, wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued to run forward, looking behind him as he ran, this glance suddenly made his heart tremble, and he had a faint bad feeling in his heart.
He looked back and saw that the two fiery red eyes had turned around and were chasing after him, and they were not slow, as if they were turning in the direction of the place where he had just rested.
This incident made Qiao Yuan feel miserable in his heart, he really couldn't understand how this red-eyed demon beast could chase after him, he was not a stupid person, he naturally knew that this matter would not be so coincidental, and he just suffered from an unwarranted disaster.
Combined with the angry roar of the red-eyed demon beast just now and the reversal of the direction towards him, he immediately knew that it must be this red-eyed demon beast that was eyeing him, so he chased after him.
"It's really unlucky, there must be a reason why this red-eyed demon beast is chasing after it so closely, what is it for......?
After another time of incense after such a chase, the red-eyed demon beast behind him was still chasing after him, with bursts of roaring sound in the rear, and from time to time there was a roar of rage.
Qiao Yuan's face was extremely ugly, and he galloped while thinking about where he had provoked this red-eyed demon beast.
The scene from entering the Henglin Mountain Range to the present flashed in his mind, and suddenly his eyes froze, he glanced at Bai Yue, who was trembling in his arms, and then at his storage bag, as if he knew some key points.
Qiao Yuan suddenly gritted his teeth, stopped, took out the black bear's corpse from the storage bag, took out the axe and cut off the bear's head, and then directly threw it on an extremely conspicuous boulder.
When he had done that, he gathered up the black bear's headless carcass and galloped away in the other direction.
Qiao Yuan had just thought carefully about what had happened when he entered the Henglin Mountain Range, and guessed that there should only be four reasons why the red-eyed demon beast was chasing him, the black bear, the moon wolf, the green python, or the five-leaf plant that didn't know how to use like a wild vegetable.
Naturally, he wouldn't leave the five-leaf clover plant, let alone Bai Yue, so he dropped the black bear's head to test the reaction of the red-eyed demon beast.
If the red-eyed demon beast didn't pay attention to the bear head, he would use the corpse of the green python to test it again, if it was still useless, Qiao Yuan could basically judge that the red-eyed demon beast was coming for the white moon.
After all, Qiao Yuan has never taken it out in other places except for the first discovery of the five-leaf plant, and it should not be known to others that the five-leaf leaf plant is on him, so except for the black bear and the python, it is likely that it is because of Bai Yue.
Qiao Yuan galloped a pillar of incense, and saw that the big eyes that were as red as two lanterns stopped at the place where the black bear's head was dropped just now, but the red-eyed demon beast didn't stay long, so it changed direction and chased after him again.
Qiao Yuan's face was even more ugly, he still had a little luck in his heart before, but now he was sure that this red-eyed demon beast was for him.
Looking at the fiery red eyes that were getting closer and closer behind him, Qiao Yuan immediately stopped, took out most of the large python corpse in the storage bag, slashed it with a knife, threw it on the ground, and then changed direction and galloped away.
Qiao Yuan galloped for less than a pillar of incense this time when he heard an extremely angry roar from behind him.
This roar was more violent than all the previous roars, and the sound was so loud that Qiao Yuan couldn't help but cover his ears, and there was also a spiritual power fluctuation among them, because the distance was too close, it directly made Qiao Yuan's mind buzz and roar, as if a giant hammer hit his head, making him stumble and almost fall to the ground.
Bai Yue let out a wail directly in Qiao Yuan's arms, a trace of pale silver blood flowed from his white ears, and his eyes were closed, and he actually lost consciousness.
"White Moon...... White Moon ...... Don't force me, provoke me, the master sacrificed the talisman treasure to make you dumb. ”
Qiao Yuan heard Bai Yue's wail, and when he saw it, his eyes immediately turned red, with an extremely angry expression, he didn't care about his headache, and called its name while caressing its head, but after calling twice, he found that he was unconscious at all, so Qiao Yuan covered Bai Yue's ears in his clothes, looked at the big red eyes behind him, and said sharply.
After Qiao Yuan finished speaking, he didn't stop to really fight this red-eyed demon beast, after all, it hadn't reached that point at this time.
He had already guessed in his heart that the red-eyed demon beast was coming for the green python, but he didn't continue to throw the green python's body out, angering the red-eyed demon beast and doing him no good.
Qiao Yuan remembered where he was on the map while running, hoping that he could get rid of the red-eyed demon beast behind him through some terrain, if he couldn't get rid of it, according to the speed of this beast, Qiao Yuan would be caught up sooner or later.
After another stick of incense, he had fled from one mountain to another, but the blood-red eyes behind him still did not disappear.
According to Qiao Yuan's calculations, the red-eyed demon beast was only thirty miles away from him, and this was still the way he picked some extremely difficult paths, which caused a lot of trouble for the red-eyed demon beast, after all, he could know that the red-eyed demon beast was extremely large by looking at both eyes, and it was quite inconvenient to move in the mountains and forests.
Qiao Yuan didn't know his location on the map when he arrived at this mountain, because he changed direction from time to time, he had deviated from the safe route for hundreds of miles, but Qiao Yuan didn't care about these at this time, after all, with this red-eyed demon beast following, the current safe route was no longer safe.
"Over this mountain, there is a great river to the northwest, and there is a big river right there, and there it is there to shake off the red-eyed beast. ”
Qiao Yuan knew his position, and immediately thought of a way, the two wind cyclones behind him condensed and formed, and under the rapid rotation, his speed immediately skyrocketed, and it didn't take long for him to reach the halfway point of the mountain.
But as soon as Qiao Yuan's wind cyclone appeared, the red-eyed demon beast behind him seemed to notice the spiritual power fluctuations on his body, and immediately accelerated to chase after him.
It turned out that the red-eyed demon beast had always relied on the aura left by Qiao Yuan all the way to track it, and he didn't know its specific location, but now he felt that there was an aura fluctuation in front of him, and he immediately locked Qiao Yuan's position, and his speed was also raised.
Qiao Yuan saw that the speed of the red-eyed demon beast had also accelerated, and its speed was also one point faster than his own, and he couldn't help but cry out in his heart, wondering if this red-eyed demon beast was playing with himself.
He didn't care, the four wind cyclones were directly open, and even the fifth wind cyclone had a hint of rudiment, he wanted to raise the speed to the limit and reach the big river quickly, so that he could get rid of the red-eyed demon beast behind him.
Time passed slowly, and the five wind cyclones behind Qiao Yuan rotated rapidly, pushing him like a gust of wind, rolling up the fallen leaves on the ground and scattering when he ran over, and some small demon beasts on the road were already frightened to avoid Qiao Yuan when they saw Qiao Yuan at this speed.
However, the red-eyed demon beast behind him still chased after him, roaring incessantly, as if he had lost patience.
