Chapter 17 Poor man

After walking only a short distance, Lu Chen stopped again.

When he saw the scene in the distance, his face changed sharply, and then he turned and stepped onto the high cliff in the distance, hiding himself behind the boulder, and then he looked at the beasts rushing below. If the sound of muffled thunder echoes, all kinds of demon beasts roar and shake the sky, flying away like a desperate flight, and there are also all kinds of strange birds and birds flying in the sky.

The place where Lu Chen was located was not extremely hidden, and many demon beasts had discovered his whereabouts. The demon beast only cared about fleeing for his life, and even if he found it, no demon beast came up to him.

After gradually calming down, Lu Chen walked out from behind the boulder with a puzzled face, looking into the depths, a little unclear.

"What happened to make such a large number of demon beasts rush to escape for their lives, and there is even an existence comparable to a golden-winged kite..."

He was unclear and a little frightened.

Beings like golden-winged kites are fleeing for their lives, perhaps because of the ominous things that the elders have said. Only Lu Chen didn't know what the so-called unknown was, so he could only speculate a few points, but after all, he had never seen it, and he didn't know what to do.

Such an abnormal situation makes people feel unkind.

"So far, it's only been more than 20 miles, and the place I've passed is too small compared to the entire ancient ruins... I've only got these things now, and if I don't go deeper, I won't have the opportunity to come back to the ruins in the future..."

Lu Chen's heart was entangled and undecided.

He wanted to continue to look for opportunities, after all, there were too few treasures on the periphery, and the most he saw now was a snake and a withered vine, and he had not been able to capture it as he wished. The other things obtained, but generally, are not much stronger than the white magnolia flower, even if it is difficult to break through the Imperial Yuan Realm, it cannot be compared to Chen Daocai's Four Imperial Realm.

After only hesitating for a moment, Lu Chen decided to come down and continue to go deeper, but he was more cautious than before.

It's weird, but he doesn't want to give up. The trip to the ancient ruins, for the disciple conference, there is only one chance, if you gain little like this, and Chen Daocai will open up the gap, and it will be even more difficult to catch up in the future. His natural talent can't be compared, only the Dao is slightly better, and the other party has the method of the origin inheritance of the two instruments, and he can evolve the world's Dao law in his hands.

And in Lu Chen's hands, there are only secret methods and knife techniques. The steel knife has been abolished, the broken knife cannot be taken out at will, and the secret method is unparalleled and harmful. There are gains and losses, blessings and misfortunes, and it will also greatly restrict Lu Chen's combat power.

Strength, cultivation for... Lu Chen was unwilling, so he became more and more adventurous.

He traveled another twenty miles, but he did not see anything unusual, and he also harvested several elixir plants. The night is getting thicker, there is a white mist rising in the ancient ruins, and it is only within a radius of two hundred meters as far as the eye can see, and then it falls into a fog, which cannot be seen clearly and cannot be distinguished.

In this way, Lu Chen no longer took risks, and found a stable place to stuff the elixir and strange grass he obtained into his mouth, and used the cultivation method to refine it. The blood in his body rose like a furnace, burning the temperature around him a little. After staying overnight, the blood qi in Lu Chen's body has become more vigorous, and the life abyss has also opened up a lot more, and several elixir strange herbs have been exhausted, leaving no trace behind.

"After eating so much, I don't know how much medicinal power will remain, and it won't take long to break through the Yuyuan Realm. ”

Lu Chen exhaled a breath of turbid air and woke up from his cultivation, his eyes bright.

It has been fifty miles deep into the ancient ruins, and another fifty miles, and it will reach the end of the periphery. The inner perimeter is ominous, and it cannot be entered, but the scope here is huge, and there are many places to be found, and many monsters were frightened and fled far away yesterday, so there is a lot less trouble.

Lu Chen didn't see anything wrong, and he was even more presumptuous, attracting the vigorous blood and qi in his body, and his speed increased a few points, and he walked through all the places that could be found nearby.

After another five days, Lu Chen had already come to the edge of the inner enclosure, and he didn't dare to really go deep into it, so he stopped here. In the past five days, there have been more than ten elixir strange herbs in his hands, and many of them have been swallowed into his abdomen, and his blood qi has become more and more vigorous.

"It's starting to fog again..."

He glanced around, frowned slightly, and then looked back into the depths of the inner perimeter.

Looking at it here, the depths of the ancient ruins are a mixture, there are ancient trees towering everywhere, wild grasses growing wildly in the ruins and ravines, and there are many unspeakable gloom intertwined in them, which inexplicably brings people a little palpitation and depression.

The temperature is getting cooler, the sun is setting, and the twilight here is a little thicker.

"Well, stay here for the time being, and leave tomorrow to look elsewhere. ”

Lu Chen shuddered, stepped back a few more points, found a ravine to hide, and then directly swallowed the elixir strange grass in his hand into his stomach.

Ordinary people do not dare to use it so directly, because the elixir is so powerful that it is difficult for ordinary people to dissolve in the flesh, and most of them refine the elixir and then take it. If it is not for profound cultivation, reckless consumption will only collapse because the physical body cannot bear it, and it will hurt your life. However, Lu Chen has a strange cultivation method, and if he uses this refining, not only will he not be unbearable, but he will refine and improve his blood qi and condense his blood essence.

The cultivators in the world are difficult to measure, and only Lu Chen can swallow the elixir and strange grass in this realm.

"I don't know who created this cultivation method, and it has such an unfathomable power that can dissolve all the medicinal power. ”

Lu Chen sighed and swallowed another elixir at will.

The blood qi in his body was like fire, the cultivation method was working, the medicinal power was dissolved, and the blood qi immediately gushed out. In the abyss of life, the vitality comes out, the essence and blood in the body are vigorous, and the blood and qi are paved with shackles in the long river, and the blood sea waterfall is turned into a waterfall in the middle of this. Anger is intertwined with blood, brilliance, mysterious, unpredictable, there is a rumbling sound coming out, the sea of blood flows, entrenched in the abyss of life.

Lu Chen was slightly shocked in his heart, and hurriedly held his breath to calm down, and then immersed himself in cultivation.

The roaring sound shook in all directions, and his blood and qi rose like fire, and in just a moment, he was able to reach it and achieve the realm of Yuyuan, which was as easy as a matter of course.

The broken knife trembled slightly, and the blood-colored brilliance flashed. The cultivation method in Lu Chen's mind is also a little clearer, which shows the wonder of the cultivation of the Yuyuan Realm, which is to cultivate the sea of blood rising, full of shackles, and to break through, you need to be able to have blood like a sea, and the shackles of the limbs can be penetrated between the churns.

The human body has shackles, breaking and entering a new realm

"I want to practice like this, but I don't know how much flesh and blood I need to be covered with shackles. ”

Lu Chen's breakthrough was successful, and he was happy in his heart, and he felt that the residual medicinal power in his body was also dissolved together, and when he didn't have any scruples, he stuffed all the remaining elixir strange herbs into his mouth, and the blood and qi in his body were a little stronger, and the momentum of forming a river was faintly visible.

This breakthrough has reached the middle of the night, and the moon is frosty and dewy, and it is difficult to see.

Faintly, there seemed to be a whimpering sound, like a ghost crying, and like a wolf howling.

Lu Chen's heart was relaxed, and when he suddenly heard this, his hair immediately exploded.

This place is not the periphery, but it is also not the inner perimeter, it is the place where the inner and outer perimeters are separated. The voice came ethereally, as far as it was near, and the sorrow and wounds in it could be easily distinguished. Or maybe it was the previous breakthrough of the abnormal attraction, and the whimpering sound suddenly got closer, and immediately a strong wind struck, blowing over the ravine, flying sand all over the sky.

Lu Chen's scalp was numb, he didn't dare to move, and hid himself a little deeper.

The strange whimpering sound seemed to come with the wind, and it kept getting closer, only to get closer in an instant, and it was ringing in my ears.

Lu Chen panicked in his heart, almost screaming, but he could only quickly cover it, not daring to make a sound, nor daring to look back. His face was pale, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead, for fear that when he turned back, he would see something ominous staring at him, and he would be taken away when he turned back.

It was only a moment before the whimpering in my ears stopped, and silence returned.

But there seems to be something strange here, that is, the white fog of the ancient ruins has dispersed, and the full moon hangs high on the head, casting a frost-white glow.

Lu Chen covered his mouth, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his heartbeat was a little faster.

In the moonlight, he clearly saw a tall body casting a mottled shadow on the stone wall in front of him, imprinted on it. The appearance of this person is not clear, but he is clearly lying on the ravine and looking down at himself, without the slightest sound or breath, and he does not know whether it is a living person or a dead person, or a piece of ominous things.

He was frightened and uneasy, and he didn't see any movement for a long time, so he could only muster up the courage to look back.

His neck seemed to be a little stiff, and it was extremely difficult to turn back. It was only a long time since he had completely turned around, and an old face full of filth and scars appeared in front of him. He was staring at a pair of bloodshot eyes, close to Lu Chen. The two of them were not more than an inch apart, and they could even feel the heat and fishy smell of each other's breathing.

Lu Chen's body tightened, and he couldn't control his scream, and he couldn't care about it, so he turned over and took out the broken knife and slashed through a bloody flower.

With a single bang, the old man's two fingers easily caught the broken knife, and no breath was revealed. The broken knife is simple and unpretentious, and the blood light on it is constricted, and there is not the slightest breath revealed, just like a mortal thing.

Lu Chen's pupils immediately shrank, and he wanted to withdraw the knife, but it was difficult to shake it no matter what. The knife seemed to grow between the old man's fingers, and it seemed to be clamped by steel tongs, even if he used the blood qi in his body and used all his strength, he couldn't pull out the knife a single point.

However, the old man ignored him, and set his eyes on the broken knife, with a little remembrance and sadness on his face. His bloodshot eyes showed a sparkle of water, and with a sudden sigh, he let go of his fingers at will, and let Lu Chen withdraw the knife.

"You... Who the hell are you?!"

Lu Chen stumbled and fell into the ravine, and when he looked up again, the old man looked down at him again.

The man was crouched on the edge of the ravine, dressed in tattered black linen, with half-broken chains and pitch-black shackles on his wrists and ankles, and his hair was dry and greasy, and his face was covered with stains and scars. Some of the wounds had not yet healed, and the tattered flesh had turned out pus and blood.

"You... Is it dead or alive?"

Lu Chen swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his heart became more and more frightened.

"The dead are also alive. ”

He waited a long time before he spoke, his voice was hoarse, and a mysterious aura shrouded him when he raised his hand, detaining Lu Chen, and then taking it out of the ravine, putting it aside, and letting him go.

The old man's eyes were deep, he looked up and down for a long time, and suddenly laughed, as if mocking, but also like grief, and his voice was as terrifying as a ghost.

"I fell asleep for a while, but after all, I waited for you. They have never let you go..."

"What?"

Lu Chen frowned, not knowing why.

The old man didn't say much, and turned out a blood-stained bandage from the tattered linen clothes on his chest, and then threw it in front of Lu Chen.

"Bring it on. ”

He only said yes.

Lu Chen was terrified in his heart, he didn't know what the identity of this old man was, whether it was good or evil, and he didn't know what this blood-stained bandage was, so he hesitated in place and didn't dare to take risks.

But the old man didn't seem to have much patience, and raised his hand to detain Lu Chen, and then wrapped the blood-mist-covered bandage around his hands. Suddenly, an inexplicable pressure enveloped his body, and the blood and qi all over his body were difficult to churn, as if he was carrying a mountain on his back. Lu Chen's face showed panic, and when the detention on his body disappeared, he slammed into the ground. Only then did he suddenly see the old man raise his hand and point at the center of his eyebrows, and then there was a flash of brilliance, and there was naturally more inexplicable information in his mind.

"Life on the chessboard, even in the next life, you can't jump out, you can't get the real fruit! Poor man, poor man, hahahaha!"

The corners of the old man's mouth grinned intimidatingly, and then turned into laughter, pathetic and vicissitudes, as if crazy.

Lu Chen looked up again, but saw a teardrop just falling, smashing on the ground in front of him and splashing, but the old man had completely disappeared. The laughter gradually faded away, and suddenly it turned around, like crying and laughing, leading the wind from all directions, sweeping two hundred miles, and the sky was dark!
