Chapter 34 Exploration

The night in the wilderness is extraordinarily long and cold, and when you occasionally look up at the night sky, you will find that there is not a single star in the sky, and of course there is no moonlight, except for the continuous black and oppressive clouds, there is nothing else, giving people a very oppressive feeling.

Shen Shi and Xiao Hei rested quietly on the edge of the canyon, Xiao Hei did look a little sleepy, and finally followed Shen Shi back to the resting place, and immediately lay down on the ground and fell asleep, snoring loudly. In comparison, Shen Shi, who had just experienced the scene under the canyon, couldn't sleep for some reason.

He looked up and looked overhead, and saw that darkness seemed to fill every corner of the world, and a cold wind with a chill whistled across the wasteland, as if a desperate man was crying out in pain. For no reason, Shen Shi suddenly thought of the last scene under the canyon, when the haunting ghost who had seized Nangong's red body howled at him like crazy, that word suddenly seemed extremely clear at this time, and even a little cold.

"What's the difference between what you're doing and a real demon?"

The woman's terrible and crazy screams seemed to suddenly echo in Shen Shi's ears, and the strange thing was that although Shen Shi was indifferent at that time, when it came to this calm silence, when he thought of that scene inexplicably, his body suddenly shook, as if he felt a chill.

In the dark, Shen Shi was silent for a long, long time, and then slowly raised the palm of his right hand and stretched it out to his eyes. Because it was too dark, even if it was close, he could only see some vague outlines on the palm, which didn't seem to be anything unusual, like everyone else, it was just a normal and ordinary palm.

The night wind blew, and Shen Shi suddenly smelled a bloody smell.

He was startled at first, and opened his eyes to look around cautiously, but then he realized that the bloody aura emanated from the palm of his hand.

A smell of blood.

In the darkness, the corners of Shen Shi's eyes twitched slightly. He looked at his hand silently, as if he suddenly didn't quite recognize the palm of his hand, he kept staring like this, in the blurred dark outline, there seemed to be some faint shadows on the palm, he couldn't see what it was, maybe it was just a real shadow, or maybe it was the blood stains left over from the blood on the palm before, so there was that smell of blood.

Who knows?

I don't know how long it was, but in the dark, Shen Shi suddenly called softly: "Xiao Hei." ”

The little black pig who had been leaning at his feet and sleeping soundly did not react, and his mouth made a sweet and long breathing sound: "Whew...... Whew......"

Shen Shi didn't mean to wake it up, the world is big, in this desolate and vast world, in this boundless darkness, it seems that only Xiao Hei is his only partner.

He just looked at his palm quietly, was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice, "Xiao Hei, did I really look like a demon just now?"

The little black pig on the ground let out a few muffled grunts, rolled over, and continued to fall asleep, as if he didn't care about anything else in this world except sleeping.

Shen Shi didn't care about it, and after looking at his blurred palm thoughtfully for a while, he gently lowered his arm, and after a while, he suddenly heard him in the depths of the darkness, talking to himself with a slight doubt, and said in a low voice:

"Why have I been so murderous lately......"

※※※

The night was a bit of a rough night, but when the first glimmers of the morning shimmered from the distant sky, the night was over.

As the light of day dawned and the sun began to rise, the temperature in the dragon wilderness began to rise slowly, and the cold of last night seemed to be dispelled in a blink of an eye, and it was a hot, dry, and dusty day.

Shen Shi, who had not slept all night, looked no different from usual, this tiring work was nothing to the monk, he squinted at the newborn rising sun, and then stood up and stretched, his face looked very calm, no different from his previous self.

Then, he turned his head to look at the little black pig who was still sleeping, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, kicked Xiao Hei's head with his foot, scolded with a smile, and said, "Okay, get up, we still have to hurry." ”

Xiao Hei rolled over on the ground, then got up with a yawn, first his body shook violently, and suddenly he looked more energetic. Shen Shi glanced at it, and for some reason felt that after a night, this guy seemed to have grown up a little, but maybe it was an illusion.

The sky was bright, and the edge of the canyon in front of him was clearly visible, but after Shen Shi pondered for a while, he directly took out the Snow Falling Sword, then picked up Xiao Hei, and flew directly with the sword, but he directly crossed the canyon from the air.

In the following journey, Shen Shi changed his caution on the road when he came, and began to frequently use the Snow Falling Sword to fly, but of course he also had some control in the process of using the Imperial Sword Technique, generally after the spiritual power in his body was consumed by three to four percent, he would land on the ground and walk, or continue to hurry after recovering his spiritual power through pranayama.

Despite the stop-and-go, Shen Shi and Xiao Hei still traveled much faster, and after about half a day, Shen Shi saw that a deep canyon had appeared on the huge flat wilderness in front of him.

And this time, he directly flew to the height of this canyon with the Snow Falling Sword and looked down, but before he could take a closer look at the situation in this canyon, he first discovered that in the wilderness behind this canyon, there was a depression not far away, which looked like a big pit or another smaller valley.

Shen Shi's curiosity rose, and he simply didn't fall behind, and directly drove the Snow Dumping Sword to fly high in front of him, and as his field of vision widened, Shen Shi was soon surprised to find that on the huge wilderness in front of him, there were actually a large number of deep valley gaps, crisscrossing this flat wilderness. At first glance, it felt like there was a huge beast from ancient times, constantly picking and grabbing in this dragon wilderness, and from this there were many canyon craters like scarred paw prints.

Looking at these numerous canyon abysses under his feet, Shen Shi gasped, and it was only at this time that he understood what the iron monkey of the Blood Fang tribe told him that day, the wilderness terrain behind the swamp seemed to be very complex and changeable.

Shaking his head in mid-air, Shen Shi drove the Snow Falling Sword and fell, and began to slowly inspect these huge and incomparably complex canyon potholes.

Compared to these huge canyons, Shen Shi himself was of course like an ant, but because of this, the advantages of the Snow Falling Sword in his hand were once again revealed. If you can't fly in the air, just walking, it would be an unimaginable trouble to walk through and even cross the canyons on these wildernesses, but now for Shen Shi, things have become much simpler, even if he encounters any extremely difficult terrain, he didn't say a word and flew directly with the sword, and naturally flew over.

The degree of difficulty in this is really a world of difference, and at this time, Shen Shi couldn't help but feel more and more grateful in his heart for the reminder that Zhong Qingzhu gave him that day in the Yunxiao Hall of the Lingxiao Sect. Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little worried in his heart, thinking that this time the Secret Realm of Wentian seemed to be stranger and more dangerous than before, and he didn't know what happened to his friends now?

※※※

As he flew and explored in these numerous canyons, Shen Shi gradually discovered unexpectedly that the so-called complex terrain here actually had another meaning.

Because in these criss-crossing canyons and deep pits, not all of them are the same environment, on the contrary, it is even a little strange that in these huge canyons, Shen Shi saw all kinds of strange terrain appearances. There are desolate and dry canyons like the wasteland on the road, but there are also valleys with abundant water and dense forests, and sometimes these diametrically opposed terrain are not far apart, and even the two adjacent canyons will have a fundamentally different appearance.

The canyon here is desolate and desolate, but the canyon next to it is full of life, some canyons are full of insects, and some canyons are rich in water and grass, and they are mild. Shen Shi was also at a loss for a while, at a glance, he saw that this huge canyon land stretched for an unknown distance, and after thinking about it in the air for a while, he sighed and began to continue flying forward.

Originally, the destination of his visit was to hear from the iron monkey that there is a canyon here that actually produces gems similar to spirit crystals, which sounds very much like a spiritual vein, or can find such a place, just picking up gems can make a lot of money, so he naturally wants to come and see.

Just looking at the scene in front of him, among these thousands of canyons, I don't know where to find the Spirit Crystal Canyon, but the iron monkey said that it was the largest canyon that day, but Shen Shi is now very suspicious of the strength of those warriors of the Blood Fang Clan, I am afraid that he may not be able to fly, so whether he can clearly judge the terrain of such many complex canyons here, which canyon is the largest and deepest, is really problematic.

Since the guidance is unreliable, it can only be relied on by yourself. Shen Shi took Xiao Hei and began to explore the strange canyon terrain on this dragon wilderness, and there was no trick in between, so he could only look at the past one by one.

But one good thing is that after all, Shen Shi has the Snow Falling Sword, and some canyons that look like desolate and barren land, Shen Shi will directly leap away, and where there are many birds, beasts, water and grass, he will pay attention to explore.

Not to mention, after searching here for a few days, although the number of searches is not too much because most of the canyons are huge, Shen Shi really has some gains, finds some rare spirit stones and spiritual mines in the outside world, and with the help of Xiao Hei, he found a lot of spiritual grass in a canyon with lush vitality and abundant water and grass. One of the most exciting things is that there is actually a high-grade spirit grass with a grade of up to five grades-Jade Lotus.

Of course, this thing is absolutely priceless, Shen Shi and Xiao Hei are overjoyed, but Xiao Hei's skin black still can't resist the master's black hand after all, when Xiao Hei pounced over and planned to take two bites, Shen Shi had already taken the first step into the Ruyi bag, and then laughed, and stuffed a spirit crystal into Xiao Hei's mouth, and said:

"Good, eat Lingjing, this thing tastes better. ”

Xiao Hei was of course very annoyed, but the spirit crystal stuffed into his mouth still looked very much in line with his heart, and he refused to spit it out, so he had to pass it so vaguely. In the following days, Shen Shi and Xiao Hei continued to explore these canyons, and in the process, Shen Shi did not encounter any other disciples of the Four Righteous Sects who descended to the Secret Realm of Wentian. Maybe the gathering of the four people before was really just a coincidence, Shen Shi gradually forgot about it, but occasionally Shen Shi would suddenly think in his heart:

It is said that the time to enter the Wentian Secret Realm is one month, and this time is not short, but after entering here, with the vastness of this secret realm, it seems that this time is not enough. In the past month, he was not even sure that he would be able to explore the many canyons, let alone explore the wilderness further beyond the canyons.

If only I could stay in the secret realm for a little longer...... Shen Shi thought so with regret in his heart.
