Chapter 33: Old Demon Mountain
That night, Shen Yun ran across the Baishui River in one go.
When I came to the Old Demon Ridge, it was already early in the morning, but the sky was still pitch black.
Passing by the karst cave where he had lived before, Shen Yun paused slightly, did not stop, and ran directly to the north.
At noon, the sky began to darken, and from time to time flashes of electric light, accompanied by bursts of thunder.
Shen Yun raised his eyebrows slightly, looked up at the sky, and turned his eyes forward.
He had just crossed a few peaks, and in front of him were a large area of relatively gentle, low mountains, which were different from most of the bare hills of Old Demon Ridge, where many shrubs grew lushly.
Identifying the direction, he ran down one of the mountains.
"Boom" There was a thunderous explosion, and dark clouds were in the sky.
When I came to the pond at the bottom of the mountain, the torrential rain poured down, and the pond stirred up countless pearl-like blisters in the sound of "bang-bang-bang".
wiped a handful of rain from his face, followed the mountain stream where the water was kicking, and walked upward. Halfway up the mountain, you can see that the entrance to the mountain stream is a black cave more than one person high.
Shen Yun's eyes showed a hint of joy, and the destination had arrived.
This is occasionally found during an expedition, this place is about 300 miles away from the Baishui River, the aura is very abundant, and the strength of the demon beasts encountered occasionally is not strong, enough to protect itself.
The entrance faces south, huddled in a large thicket, and burrows into the cave, which is a long and narrow passage that is more than one person high, and the mountain stream flows through the center of the passage, and the light faintly shines through the depths of the cave.
The sound of the rain outside gradually faded away, and only the gurgling mountain spring could be heard flowing out of the belly of the mountain.
Walking inside, it gradually warmed up, about 100 steps, and suddenly opened up.
There is a huge karst cave that spans more than 10 zhang in length, and the stream flows from the far left side of the cave, and the source of the mountain stream is a bubbling spring.
There is also a clear pond about one zhang deep near the spring, the water of the pond is clear, and the fish swim leisurely.
On the right side of the cave, there is a huge stone platform with a length and width of seven or eight zhang, uneven and uneven.
Climbing onto the platform, Shen Yun looked happy and muttered to himself: "You don't have to worry about drinking water and bathing in the future." ”
Satisfied, change out of your soaked clothes and sit down for a nap.
When I first discovered this cave, I was very satisfied at first sight and stayed for one night.
Now that you are planning to stay for a long time, you naturally need to take care of it, and it is best to go to the back of the cave and dig a hidden retreat into the bushes, and then arrange some traps and so on.
His eyes turned to the boulder on the side of the platform, nodded softly and smiled: "This stone can be made into a big stone bed, buy some quilts, and sleep comfortably in winter." ”
After thinking about it for a while, he sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.
Time passed slowly, and after a few hours, Shen Yun opened his eyes with a happy face.
As expected, it was not bad, and the cultivation that had not advanced an inch has finally improved a little.
Shen Yun let out a long breath and unfolded the internal vision technique. The so-called internal vision technique is not an illegal technique, but it is actually to use the divine sense to probe one's own body.
In the dantian, there was nothingness, and there was darkness all around, but in the middle position, there was a True Yuan Force sphere the size of a wild egg, slowly rotating, constantly emitting bursts of pale red luster.
This mana orb was originally the size of a grain of rice, but as it gradually ascended, it continued to grow.
But since it touched the bottleneck of the Spiritual Silence Realm, the mana ball stopped getting bigger, but after cultivating every day, the mana inside was as light as pink smoke, and the color was gradually darkening, becoming more condensed day by day.
Last month, the cultivation stagnated, and until today, the mana has become more refined after a long time.
Shen Yun understood that one day the concentration of mana in the sphere would reach a critical point, and perhaps one day, when the time came, he would be able to break through.
Spiritual Silence!
The Spirit Silence Realm can fly with the sword, Shen Yun has always felt that only then can it be a bit of a fairy wind bone, of course, the most important thing is safety, the sword flight is not only fast, but also can completely ignore the demon beasts on the ground.
After the Spiritual Silence Realm, you can go deep into the Old Demon Ridge to explore the medicine.
Turning his head sideways, the wind and rain outside had long since stopped, and only the clear spring was bubbling.
"It's time for the officer. Shen Yun smiled slightly and stood up.
......
Time flies, and two months have passed.
On the morning of this day, Shen Yun, who was wearing a shabby gray robe, looked helpless, shuttling through the rocks, searching for spiritual plants.
Now, only by taking the spirit grass can the mana be slightly improved.
The bottleneck can be touched every day, but it is like a mountain across it, and I don't know how to break through it.
From time to time, some roe deer and deer slipped around.
In this area, there are not many demon beasts, and they encounter them a few times occasionally, and they are probably full of food, and they are directly ignored when they meet Shen Yun.
"Huh. Suddenly, Shen Yun sighed softly, stood still, his eyes shot a light of surprise, and looked at the cliff not far away.
In the morning mist, several shrubs in the muddy ground in front of him were lush and green, and a small tree about one person tall in the bushes, with more than a dozen blue-red fruits hanging among the crystal green leaves, looked extraordinary and stood out from the crowd.
"Chixiao Fruit?" Shen Yun rubbed his eyes in disbelief, before he remembered to cast the Spirit Eye Technique and take a look, sure enough, these more than ten fruits were full of spiritual power.
This is the first time I've seen a spirit fruit, this is a good thing, there are no impurities, and it can be swallowed continuously.
With a happy face, he stepped forward quickly, muttering, "This is the ...... This is the case. ”
"Roar!"
Behind a huge rock beside him, a rhinoceros-like beast stepped out, and even the fog was stirred up by a wave, and the warning seemed to let out a low roar.
Shen Yun was taken aback and took a few steps back.
This is a blue water rhinoceros, taller than a giant elephant, with a body of aqua blue thick skin bumps, and the sharp horns of the snout, which are more than a foot long, are as white as jade, shooting out a cold light, and the yellowed eyes unabashedly reveal cold hostility.
There is an introduction to the blue water rhinoceros in the demon beast atlas, and the adult strength is roughly close to the spiritual realm.
Shen Yun pursed his lips, and his eyes shot a look of determination.
With a hand, with a "bang", the Qiushui Sword burst out with a cloud of sword light and appeared in the palm of the hand.
If it was an ordinary spirit grass, maybe he would give up, but more than ten spirit fruits might be an opportunity for him to break through, so how could he let it go.
The blue water rhinoceros stared at Shen Yun vigilantly, his hooves moved slightly, and his head shook: "Roar!"
The red light on Shen Yun's body flashed, revealing a pale red shield, and he burst into a shout, holding a long sword, and in the rolling fog, a gust of wind rushed straight towards the demon beast.
When hunting, he always fights with a sword in close combat, which consumes the least mana, and for monks, it is very dangerous to have no mana, so if he can fight the enemy without a sword, he will try to avoid it.
The blue water rhinoceros stared at Shen Yun and let out an earth-shattering roar.
Its thick hind hooves kicked the ground a few times, and in the flying of sand and gravel, it lowered its head and aimed its white sharp horns at the enemy, and it rumbled like a small mountain.
Under the trampling of the four hooves, the ground trembled, and the pebbles were shaken and rolled endlessly.
In an instant, bright sharp horns appeared in front of him, and even the foul smell from the demon rhino's mouth sprayed onto Shen Yun's face.
Shen Yun frowned, his shoulders moved slightly, his figure flickered, slid past the blue water rhino, and waved his hand. If it is a beast, with such a stroke, the belly will bloom.
The blue water rhinoceros was obviously not comparable to a beast, it seemed to have a bulky body, but it was agile, and its huge body avoided to one side like a mountain of meat, and the sword suddenly fell into the air.
With a rumbling sound, the bulky bodies staggered.
Shen Yun wanted to bypass the blue water rhinoceros and stab another sword, but suddenly with a "whew", a thick whip shadow pressed over, so he hurriedly flashed.
"Smack!"
The giant whip swung out a round whip shadow, hitting Shen Yun's pale red spiritual power shield, and the light immediately flashed.
Shen Yun took a few steps back, widening the distance, and only then did he see clearly what kind of whip it was, it was clearly the tail of the demon beast.
Secretly smacking his tongue, this was the first time he had fought against a demon beast, and the strength of the other party was really good.
Burst into a shout again, and kill with a sword.
The two sides came and went, the fog was rolling, the sand was flying, and after more than ten rounds, the Qiushui Sword failed to make a contribution, and the spiritual shield was repeatedly hit by the "giant whip".
Shen Yun pulled away again, stared at the demon beast, said something in his mouth, waved his hand, and shouted: "Go!"
A soft groan of "buzz".
The Qiushui Sword rose into the sky and flew into the mist, and suddenly the sword light flashed, and a long rainbow flew like a sky, shooting at the blue water rhino.
"If you can't get it for a cup of tea, retreat first. Shen Yun snorted lightly, pinching the magic trick in his hand, and the mana was like an invisible silk thread, connected to the Qiushui Sword, and it was continuously injected.
"Roar!" Seeing the Qiushui Sword flying, the blue water rhino's eyes showed a trace of fear for the first time, and he turned his head to look at the spirit fruit again, as if he was reluctant.
In an instant, the sword flickered, approaching the demon beast.
I saw that the blue water rhinoceros shook its head, and with a "bang", the hard giant horn hit the flying sword, and the Qiushui sword deflected and flew out.
Its head lowered again, its four hooves moved, and with a roar of rage, it rushed straight at Shen Yun.
With the sound of "dong dong" like a drum, Shen Yun ran to the side, and in an instant, the whole person hid behind a boulder.
pointed at the flying sword with one hand again, and the Qiushui sword suddenly spun around.
With a "whoosh", the sword qi cut through countless weeds, lifted a cloud of smoke, and shot at the hind legs of the demon beast like a high-speed rotating arrow, and the forward air flow brought a stream of smoke-like grass blade debris rolling in.
A smell of broken grass permeated, mixed with the slightest fragrance of spirit fruits.
The blue water rhino burned in rage, turned around, and roared in an attempt to get closer to Shen Yun.
At this time, the Qiushui Sword was close at hand, and the blue water rhinoceros had no choice but to avoid it to one side first.
"Sting!" Suddenly, the thick cowhide on the buttocks of the demon beast, under the sharp magic weapon, suddenly cut out a wound more than a foot long, blood burst out, and the flesh and blood flipped over.
It turned out that Shen Yun estimated that the demon beast would avoid to the left, so before the other party dodged, he controlled the flying sword to deflect to the left, and sure enough, it hit. Of course, if the monster dodges to the right, it can only look for another opportunity.
"Howl!" the blue water rhino let out a terrible scream, ignoring the Chixiao Fruit, and rushed wildly.
"Want to escape?" Shen Yun pointed at the flying sword with one hand and pursued it closely.
After only chasing out a few dozen feet, he gave up.
First, although this blue water rhinoceros is not agile enough to fight, it is extremely fast to run in a straight line, and second, there is no need to waste mana, in case you encounter another demon beast, the gains outweigh the losses.
Approaching the fruit trees, a light fresh fruit fragrance suddenly refreshes people's hearts.
Shen Yun looked happy and rubbed his hands, not knowing what to do for a while.
I thought about transplanting this thing to plant near the cave, but thinking that the spirit fruit tree is not a mortal thing after all, who knows what the requirements for planting are?
After thinking about it, I picked it all in one go, regardless of whether it was ripe or not, and then floated away.
