Chapter Eighty-Six: The Sea of Thorns
It was a plain full of waist-deep crimson thorns, whose branches were so slender that they were a fraction of the thickness of a little finger, so they swayed gently in the breeze.
However, these slender crimson thorns were long and hard and easy to break, and Xie Changsheng, who fell into them, was not only stabbed with many wounds, but also didn't know how many such thorns were broken in his flesh and skin.
I don't know if it's because of the magic circle, this plain covered with waist-deep crimson thorns looks endless, completely like a crimson ocean, and only in the places that are extremely far away and seem to take days to reach can there be a few tall cyan temples.
The sun is dazzling, and there is a temperature on the body, which is very real.
Although Fang had just fallen in the dark rain and fog, and he couldn't see the surrounding scene clearly, Xie Changsheng was sure that he had indeed fallen from a great height, and then rushed down a certain slide or cave to this place.
It didn't last long.
So this plain should be somewhere in the Sky Ridge, maybe an empty valley at the foot of a mountain, but in his intuition, I am afraid it is more likely that it is in the mountains of the Sky Ridge.
In the records of many cultivation classics, when many powerful sects in ancient times chose the mountain gate, they first lived in the spiritual veins, and over time, they carved the mountains they lived in like jade, arranged the formations according to the trend of the mountains and rivers, or carved the mountains into the air, or dug out huge underground palaces or plains underground.
These places are either for the accumulation of spiritual energy, or for the cultivation of trials, or for cultivation, or as various kinds of warehouses, many sects have undergone great changes, and after their demise, these places can occasionally survive to future generations, and they have become what later generations of practitioners call relics and secret treasures.
Such a place was naturally shocking enough for all the cultivators in Changling today, but what made Xie Changyun so angry at this time was that there was a stream meandering through the thorny field beside him, less than a foot away from the place where he fell.
It is also better to fall from above, in the middle of this stream, than in the thorny bushes.
However, the arranger just let him fall straight into the thorn bushes.
"It's so bad, it's the same as seeing a person who is extremely thirsty, and if he doesn't give him water to drink, he still has to put the water in front of him, and then tie his hands and feet and don't give him a drink, it's too poisonous!"
Looking at the stream flowing quietly in front of him, overgrown with gentle aquatic plants, Xie Changsheng kept cursing in his heart for the person who arranged this sword meeting, but finally couldn't endure the pain caused by the countless fine thorns piercing into the flesh and blood, and his face was a little distorted and began to pull out the thorns.
As long as the thorn is pulled out, the pain will disappear quickly, forgotten, if you don't pull it out, this pain will continue, especially when it touches that place, it will cause more intense pain in the heart, and after a long time, the flesh and blood left by the fine thorn may even be red, swollen and suppurated.
The so-called thorn in the eye, the thorn in the flesh must be removed, because of this.
However, falling from the air in this thorn bush, Xie Changsheng didn't know how many fine thorns were pierced in the flesh and blood of his body, how could he pull it out for a while?
Finally, after a stick of incense, Xie Changsheng chose to give up, and let out an angry roar again, "Do you know that this really hurts! Come up with such an idea, why don't you try it yourself!"
Xie Changsheng's angry roar echoed far away in the crimson sea of thorns, without bringing any echo.
Obviously, Ding Ning, Zhang Yi and the others should have entered this crimson sea of thorns at this time, but they seemed to have been completely swallowed up, and there was no trace of them.
Without any hints, where to go next?
According to all normal thinking, there should be an answer in those cyan temples in the distance, or directly through the exit of this test.
However, what if those cyan temples are just suspicious formations, and everything cannot be inferred according to common sense?
It is not an easy task to travel in this sea of thorns.
After roaring angrily, Xie Changsheng quieted down with a dark face, and he silently and carefully inspected the thorn bushes around him, there was no unusual sign in these thorn bushes, and because the crimson thorns of this plain covered everything, even if there was a road in the distance, it was impossible to see it at all.
Even the stream in front of him, after meandering in his sight for a while, was hidden in this crimson sea of thorns.
Xie Changsheng has never been a person who lacks courage, he only took a short time to make a decision.
He walked towards the stream ahead.
"It's really ignorant. ”
When his feet stepped into the cool water, Jing Liuli made such an evaluation.
Her glass-like eyes were visibly unhappy.
As the arranger of this grand event, at this moment, she and the blue-robed man with sword intent flowing all over her body were on a cliff behind Xie Changsheng.
The cliff goes all the way up, and the top of the mountain pierces into the dazzling light endlessly, as if it dissolves into the sun.
There was a narrow crack beneath her, and the sound of water vapor inside roared, and the water vapor and air currents gushed out, and then it was shattered by several layers of soft force, blowing upwards, and evenly diffusing the vast crimson field.
The mountain cliff she was on was completely blocked by the magic circle, Xie Changsheng couldn't perceive this mountain cliff and her existence at all, and even if he knew, it was absolutely impossible to break through the power of this magic circle.
However, Xie Changsheng's angry roars, she heard them very clearly.
"Walking in a stream is naturally easier than walking in a thorn bush, but since you fall into a thorn bush from the beginning, you should naturally understand that this layout is not easy for you, as long as you are smarter, you will definitely feel that there is danger in this stream. What's more, there are so many fine thorns on the body, and the wound is soaked in water without treatment, which is more likely to flow pus and rot. ”
She didn't have any judgment on Xie Changsheng before this, but after saying a word that was really ignorant, she couldn't help but say these words again.
Listening to her words, the young man in the green robe smiled slightly, and said: "He didn't know that this sea of thorns had been a test that every disciple of the Minshan Sword Sect had to go through, so naturally he couldn't help but have such complaints, the man in Guanzhong had a straightforward temperament, and that's what he said, but after Senior Brother Qing asked for this sea of thorns, this sea of thorns has been sealed for ten years, and now here, what did Senior Brother Qing toss out of it?"
Jing Liuli didn't answer directly, but said, "You will naturally see it later." ”
The young man in the green robe smiled bitterly and said, "Is it okay to just throw them in here without any hints?"
Jing Liuli turned his head to look at him and said, "If all they need to think about is survival, they don't need to think about anything else at all, and it doesn't matter if there is a hint or not." ”
The young man in the green robe was stunned and said, "Don't really kill people." ”
Jing Liuli's face turned cold, and said: "If you are really too stupid, you want to find death, but no one can stop you." ”
......
There was also a stream in front of Ding Ning with a very gentle current.
The place where he had fallen was only a foot from the stream, and he had many thin spines on his body that were longer and harder than the thorns of a cactus.
It's just that compared to Xie Changsheng's anger, his state of mind is extremely peaceful.
This physical pain was nothing compared to some of the physical and mental pain he had experienced.
Unlike Xie Changsheng and the others, although he had never entered the Minshan Sword Sect, he knew a lot about the Minshan Sword Sect, and according to the speed of falling in the dark and the approximate time, the crimson plain where he was now should be located in the depths of the belly of the Sky Ridge.
So this should be the legendary breeding farm of the Minshan Sword Sect Qingyao Yin.
Because this generation of the sect master of the Minshan Sword Sect and some people in the Bashan Sword Field swore not to get along, the Minshan Sword Sect no longer contributed in the final conquest of the Great Qin Dynasty and the Han, Zhao, and Wei dynasties, and closed the mountain gate for many years, and even did not get involved in the most chaotic and bloody three years of Changling, so many of the best and most powerful Minshan Sword Sect practitioners were able to quietly practice in the Minshan Sword Sect and become more powerful, and the Minshan Sword Sect finally became the strongest sect with the sword in the world side by side with the Lingxu Sword Sect.
But in this sword-wielding sect, there are also some powerful outliers.
For example, it may be the strongest poison-using grandmaster in the world.
And this green yao is also one of them.
What he does best is just farming.
But he is not raising ordinary birds and beasts.
Legend has it that he can breed many strange insects and beasts, and make them form a unique food chain.
At the top of this food chain, something that is extremely useful to the practitioner will be formed, whether it is a fierce beast that can be controlled by the practitioner, or a monster that can produce treasures that are extremely useful to the practitioner.
The treasures produced by these fierce beasts or monsters are as terrifying as gods and demons for ordinary cultivators, so even in the Minshan Sword Sect, Qing Yao Yin also has a nickname, called God and Demon Breeder.
The Minshan Sword Sect had opened up several breeding farms for him.
The largest of these farms was a certain plain deep in the belly of the Motianling Mountain, which used to be the place where the disciples of the Minshan Sword Sect were tested, that is, the crimson plain in which he now realized.
According to the exact information that Ding Ning had gotten, this place had been sealed for many years.
So what kind of unique world has this farm become?
