Chapter 648: Mist Beast
Qiao Yuan was not surprised by his invitation, as early as Blood Hongzi, he had learned that almost all the monks who entered the Forbidden Source Land would be looking for some powerful partners.
It's just that now the monks who have the courage and strength to enter the core place have basically entered, and even if he wants to find a partner, he can't find anyone, so he is ready to break in alone.
Now that someone took the initiative to come to the door, Qiao Yuan naturally had no reason to refuse.
Although their cultivation level is a little lower, it is better to be three Jindan stage monks than to face the danger alone.
Moreover, Xuehongzi has been healing for the past few years, and he doesn't know much about the things in the core place, and he also needs to know some news from these three people.
Thinking of this, Qiao Yuan's smile on his face was even bigger, and he replied with a fist.
"So good, under the surname Qiao, I don't know what to call the three?"
"In Xia Wei Xingwen, this is Shen Ming, the junior brother in Xia, and Fang Yan, the junior sister. ”
The man who seemed to be quite scheming, but he didn't mean to hide his name, and directly introduced the three of them, but he didn't report his home, of course, there was no need.
The handsome young man Shen Ming saw that Qiao Yuan was wearing the cultivation of Jindan Great Perfection, so he seemed to have the intention of making friends, took two steps forward, and gave a salute with a smile on his face.
As for the woman, she blinked her eyes wide, as if she suddenly thought of something, raised her green jade fingers, pointed at Qiao Yuan and asked.
"The surname is Qiao, Jindan Great Perfection Monk, could it be that you are the first person in the Yuan Infant Stage who defeated the sword madness and left the river, Qiao Yuan?"
Qiao Yuan didn't change his appearance, so naturally he didn't mean to hide his identity, and nodded.
"It's really you, but it looks ordinary, and there's no ......"
Fang Yan's apricot eyes widened, and she looked at Qiao Yuan carefully, with a hint of disappointment on her face, and muttered softly.
Although it was muttering, the people present were all Jindan period monks, and how could they not hear it.
Wei Xingwen's face changed slightly, and before she could finish her words, he sharply interrupted her muttering.
"Senior sister, what nonsense are you talking about, hurry up and apologize to Qiao Daoyou. ”
Fang Yan suddenly looked very aggrieved, twisting and pinching, showing extreme reluctance.
Wei Xingwen knew that his junior sister was spoiled by the elders in the sect, and she spoke a little unscrupulously, so she must not be willing to apologize at this moment, so she stepped forward and spoke apologetically.
"Senior Sister Fang is young and doesn't know how to be polite, and I hope that Qiao Daoyou will not take it to heart. ”
"Daoyou's words are serious. ”
Qiao Yuan naturally didn't care about such a trivial matter, but he didn't have a good impression of the woman.
Such a headless and brainless Miss Jiao really doesn't know what to do when she comes to such a dangerous place, and she will definitely harm others and herself when the time comes.
After labeling her as a brainless lady, Qiao Yuan was not interested in talking more to her, so after a few perfunctory words, the four of them continued to fly towards the core place.
When they flew over the five mountains again, they saw a white fog in front of them, completely covering the road ahead, and they could not see clearly at all.
"Qiao Daoyou stopped, through this fog, we entered the core place, but this fog is not very simple, there will be occasional fog beasts in it, once encountered, it is quite tricky, so we still stay here for a while, and turn the state to the best. ”
Shen Ming was a warm-hearted person, and when he saw that Qiao Yuan was taking the lead, he seemed to be about to rush into the fog, so he couldn't help but remind.
Qiao Yuan had already noticed that the fog in front of him was a little weird, not only was the visibility of the naked eye less than three feet, but even the divine sense penetrated into it like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no reaction at all.
Naturally, he didn't rush into the fog without thinking, but just wanted to get closer and observe.
Naturally, the other three didn't know about his thoughts, Fang Yan couldn't help but roll her eyes, and began to mumble in her heart.
"What else do you say about the first person in the Yuan Infant Period, I don't even know this bit of common sense, I don't think he can even compare to Senior Brother Zhang. ”
I don't know what the reason is, Fang Yan always felt that he was a little unpleasant, but Qiao Yuan and Shen Ming had a good conversation over there.
"Shen Daoyou, you meditate first to recover, I am here to protect the Dharma for you. ”
After Qiao Yuan finished smiling, he landed less than a hundred feet in front of the fog and observed it carefully.
I still remember that before entering this place, the forbidden source was also covered by a thick fog, and no one dared to enter it rashly, so I could only wait quietly for the fog to disperse on its own.
Although the fog outside the forbidden source land was not comparable to the fog here, Qiao Yuan caught a trace of formation fluctuations nearby.
This fluctuation of the formation was quite similar to the ancient formation he had felt when he entered the Forbidden Source Land, but there were also obvious differences.
For example, when he entered the Forbidden Source Land and came into contact with the huge ancient formation, he would have a clear feeling of palpitations, as if he was walking on the chains between thousands of cliffs, and he could fall into the abyss of no return at any time.
And here, he didn't feel much, and the fluctuation of the formation was too weak, as if it had lost its effectiveness, and there was no threat in the slightest.
Cang Tai had said before that he had a bad premonition before entering the Forbidden Source Land, and he himself had a feeling that someone seemed to be manipulating the ancient formation.
Looking at the vast fog in front of him, Qiao Yuan suddenly felt that the feeling was not groundless, but that the danger was hidden too deeply, he couldn't see it, he couldn't touch it.
Two hours later, the three of them got up and walked slowly to Qiao Yuan's side, and Wei Xingwen spoke first.
"Qiao Daoyou, you are here for the first time, so when entering this mist, you must be careful, if you encounter a fog beast, don't attack, just dodge and defend. ”
"Oh, why is that?"
It was the first time Qiao Yuan had heard of the Mist Beast, and a trace of doubt and curiosity couldn't help but flash in his eyes.
Wei Xingwen had heard Qiao Yuan say that he had been trapped in a certain formation for five years and knew nothing about the outside world, so it was not surprising that he had this question.
"It's normal for Qiao Daoyou to be suspicious, the same is true when I first heard about the fog beast, this fog beast is not a demon beast, but a collection of resentment, they are not conscious, but they are almost immortal, once attacked, they will split into two or more fog beasts. ”
When Qiao Yuan heard the words "Resentment Collective", his expression moved, and he immediately remembered the two resentment beasts he had encountered in Yunyan Gorge.
Could it be that this fog beast is a resentment beast?
No, Wei Xingwen said that the fog beast was unconscious, and the two resentful beasts he met not only had spiritual intelligence, but also were extremely cunning and scheming, and used a trick to kill people with a knife, which almost caused Qiao Yuan, Jiang Feng and others to conflict with Xiang Tian and his party.
Thinking of this, Qiao Yuan denied this speculation, but he vaguely felt that there should be some kind of relationship between the two.
After clarifying some basic matters to be paid attention to, they walked together towards the fog, and since the visibility in the fog was less than three feet, the four of them were almost shoulder to shoulder in order to take care of each other.
Stepping into the fog, Qiao Yuan suddenly felt that his whole person seemed to have fallen into a quagmire, and his strength and speed could not be fully exerted here.
But except for this discomfort, everything else is okay, and Qiao Yuan didn't perceive any crisis.
The four of them walked forward without saying a word, their eyes kept sweeping back and forth around, except for Qiao Yuan, the other three were obviously a little nervous.
After walking like this for nearly half an hour, they did not encounter the so-called fog beast, Wei Xingwen and Shen Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension in their hearts was also relieved by half.
They all know that there are a lot of fog beasts in this fog, and it is normal to run into one or two, if they can't touch them, they will be lucky.
At that moment, Shen Ming showed a relaxed smile on his face, turned his head to look at Qiao Yuan, and said.
"Brother Qiao, according to our speed, if we have half a stick of incense, we should be able to get out of this fog. ”
Qiao Yuan also showed a smile and nodded.
But at this moment, the smile on his face was closed, and his expression suddenly became solemn, and he looked at the three of them.
"It's not right, be careful. ”
Although this fog has the effect of limiting the divine sense, Qiao Yuan's divine sense far surpasses that of the monks of the same level, how can the three of them compare.
Shen Ming in the late stage of Jindan could only probe his divine sense five zhang here, but he could detect the situation outside a hundred zhang.
At this moment, he noticed that there was a group of monsters that looked like ghosts outside Baizhang, slowly approaching here.
"Could it be that a fog beast has appeared?"
Shen Ming's smile stiffened, and he hurriedly asked.
"There is a group of ghost-like monsters approaching this side a hundred zhang away, they should be what you call fog beasts. ”
Qiao Yuan nodded and replied with a solemn expression, but when these words fell on the ears of the three people, they were slightly stunned, and then the three of them had different expressions.
Fang Yan's eyes showed obvious disbelief, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a trace of arc, as if she was laughing at Qiao Yuan's nonsense.
"Hmph, here our divine consciousness can't be dispersed outside the body, he actually said that there are fog beasts outside a hundred zhang, it's really ridiculous. ”
She naturally didn't dare to say such ridiculous words in front of Qiao Yuan, after all, the gap between the two people's cultivation was there.
Wei Xingwen hesitated for a moment, put away the shock and disbelief on his face, looked at Qiao Yuan and asked.
"I asked rudely, how did Qiao Daoyou know that there was a fog beast outside the hundred zhang, you must know that our divine consciousness is limited to five zhang around here. ”
"Your question is really rude, I have already said that there are fog beasts outside a hundred zhang, as for whether you believe it or not, it has nothing to do with me. ”
Qiao Yuan's brows furrowed slightly, his face showed a hint of displeasure, and after speaking, he flicked his sleeves and strode forward.
"You ......"
They didn't expect Qiao Yuan to say this, and they were stunned on the spot, until Qiao Yuan brushed his sleeves away, Fang Yan raised his eyebrows, pointed at him and shouted.
However, before she could speak, she saw seven or eight gray ghosts rushing out of the left and rear at the same time, which frightened Fang Yan's delicate body and hid beside Shen Ming and Wei Xingwen with a pale face.
"Oh no, the fog beast is here!"
Wei Xingwen and Shen Ming reacted at the same time, and their expressions suddenly became solemn and nervous.
It was only at this moment that they realized that what Qiao Yuan said earlier was indeed true, and the ridiculous danger was coming, and they were still exploring how he detected the fog beast a hundred feet away, and it was no wonder that Qiao Yuan would walk away.
