Chapter 54: The Misty Jungle
After Shi Yi learned the dragon flying attack, he was in a good mood and did not feel sleepy, so he took advantage of the night to continue to march towards the depths of the Purgatory Volcano.
The sky brightened again, and Shi Yi and his party stood in an open space, looking solemnly ahead.
The scene presented not far ahead, anyone who sees it for the first time will be dumbfounded. From the place where Shi Yi stood, about ten zhang away, an obvious dividing line was from bottom to top, dividing this piece of heaven and earth into two halves.
The half close to Shi Yi was unremarkable, while the other half, the turbid and sallow mist churned up and down, blocking most of the sight, and it was impossible to see the situation on the other side of the dividing line. I could only vaguely see that the lush trees had also reached the dividing line, and the trees on the other side of the dividing line were all bare, posing in various strange poses in the mist.
"What's going on?" Shi Yi muttered to himself, trying to recall the description of the Purgatory Volcano in the classics collected by the Heavenly Wind Academy, but he couldn't think of any book that described the scene in front of him.
The big head was simple, he picked up a stone, picked up his arm, and threw it towards the demarcation line, which he easily crossed, and his flight trajectory was not disturbed in the slightest, and the sound of the stone falling and jumping up could be heard.
This dividing line is not an enchantment! The two looked at each other, discussed for a while, and decided, go in and have a look! They came to Purgatory Volcano in the hope of being tempered, and if they encountered a situation that was not accurate, they would run away, which was really unreasonable.
The two of them each took out their spiritual weapons and stepped cautiously into the mist, their sights quickly weakened, and the two of them froze for a while before continuing to walk forward.
The mist was churning up and down around the two of them, and Shi Yi felt the hot pain of his exposed skin, so he had to use his spiritual power to form a faint spiritual film throughout his body, completely isolating the mist, and then he felt better.
Looking at the big head again, he looked indifferent, without a trace of discomfort, and seemed to be extremely adapted to the environment here.
After walking for hundreds of meters, all I could see was bare trees except for the fog in the sky. Shi Yi said to Datou, "Datou, it seems that this fog is not a good type, you see that in this area, there is no life." ”
The big head nodded thoughtfully, and just as he was about to say something, his face changed suddenly, and the long axe in his hand slashed towards the right rear, and the axe smashed into the ground.
"Tsk!" A scream of pain suddenly came from underground!
The big head looked grim, and with a wave of his big hand, the long axe was lifted from the ground, and on the top of the axe, there was a strange creature hanging from the axe, whose back was cut by the axe blade, and green blood dripped down the axe handle, already dead.
Shi Yi recognized it at a glance, this is a turbid fire scorpion, which generally gathers in hot places, such as deserts, volcanoes, etc., and likes to hide underground, quietly waiting for the prey to come to the door and attack suddenly.
Adult turbidity fire scorpions also build the strength of the first level, but they often live together in groups, relying on numbers to win, and it is also extremely difficult, it seems that this place is so desolate, and it has something to do with them.
"Let's all be careful, don't be targeted by this thing," he admonished, and the group continued to walk deeper into the fog...
While resting, Shi Yi looked curiously at the big head and Xiao Huang who were sitting on the ground gnawing on the jerky, "Don't you think the fog covers your body is uncomfortable?" A man and a dog, while gnawing on the jerky, shook their heads, and took a few deep breaths to prove it.
The big head spit out a large piece of dried meat, and gestured at Shi Yi for a while, "My demonic power seems to be able to refine the mist here, and when the mist reaches me, the demonic power in my body runs much faster." ”
Shi Yi's heart moved, isn't it because one of them is a demon clan and the other is a monster? What about me, can I try to refine?
Withdraw the spiritual power attached to the body, the mist immediately invades the body from the pores, and the spiritual power in the body feels the intruder, and automatically gushes out from various acupuncture points, wrapping the invading mist, and after a while, the mist turns into a trace of tiny spiritual power.
Shi Yi's eyes lit up, and joy floated on his face.
In the stunned eyes of Datou and Xiao Huang, Shi Yi took off all the clothes on his body, leaving only a pair of obscene pants, so that his body was fully exposed to the mist, and all parts of his body were absorbing and refining the mist, trickling into rivers and seas, and the spiritual power in his body was slowly growing at a speed that Shi Yi had never expected.
In the next few days, Shi Yi and his party continued to explore in this fog, except for occasionally killing a few turbid fire scorpions that wanted to sneak attack, they did not achieve anything else. Although he can constantly refine the mist here and strengthen himself, but gnawing on the dried meat for several days in a row has made Datou and Xiao Huang feel helpless, and they strongly asked to withdraw from this area, and Shi Yi had to agree under repeated harassment.
At this time, they found a serious problem, they got lost ...
In this area, the trees are all bare, and the sight is also due to the turbid fog, so you can't see very far at all, and everywhere looks the same, sometimes it's obviously going in one direction, and after walking for a long time, you find that you're back in the same place...
The two of them sat around and discussed how to get out of this area, of course, it was mainly Shi Yi who put forward the idea, and the other two just nodded.
As he was talking, Shi Yi suddenly raised his eyebrows, and the big head beside him had already put the long axe across his chest, staring at a mist.
A moment later, the mist churned, and a person ran out of it! Shi Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, and after seeing the man hurrying a few steps in his direction, he collapsed on the ground and stopped moving.
Shaking his head helplessly, Shi Yi stepped forward, and the person who was paralyzed was a man, with many wounds all over his body, large and small, as if he had been injured by the claws of some monster, and some were still bleeding. But there was no fatal injury, only because of the loss of strength, he fell into a coma.
injected a trace of spiritual power into him, and the unconscious man gradually opened his eyes, looking at the bald boy in front of him, his eyes lit up at first, and after seeing the young man's slightly immature face, he dimmed in disappointment.
Shi Yi took out a few bottles of gold sore medicine from the Qiankun bag, took out a few large pieces of jerky, put them beside the man, got up and greeted the big head, ready to leave.
When the man saw this young man, he was about to leave without saying a word, and hurriedly shouted, "Little, little brother, please stay, our team has been ambushed, and please ask the little brother to help go outside to find some rescuers"
As he spoke, he took out a scroll from his bosom and held it in the air, "This is a scroll for communication, as long as you get out of this misty jungle and ignite it, our partners left outside will be able to sense it!"
Shi Yi waved his hand lightly and continued to walk forward, not to mention that the other party's origin was unknown, that is, in this purgatory volcano, life and death are fate, and he didn't want to get involved in any disputes.
The man was anxious and shouted, "Little brother, we are from the Lin family of Sword Immortal City, if you help us this time, we will be grateful in the future!"
Shi Yi's footsteps suddenly stopped, and the Lin family? He remembered that Lin Zhentian was a member of the Lin family in the Sword Immortal City in the secret cave in Xuanwu Mountain, speaking of which, if it weren't for his demon suppression, he and the big-headed brothers would have died under the claws of the sharp-clawed lynx!
When he was in Sword Immortal City, Shi Yi also wanted to go to the Lin family and repay this kindness, but for various reasons, he had not been able to do so, but at this time, he did not expect to meet the people of the Lin family here.
Seeing that Shi Yi was no longer leaving, the man was overjoyed, and continued, "Little brother, what ambushed us was a group of turbid fire scorpions, as well as a few blood wolf demons with the strength of the first level! Please help inform the people outside and come in to help!"
Shi Yi turned around and walked to the man, squatted down, and poured some spiritual power into the man, "If you can't do it, you can get up and lead the way." ”
The man was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?" Shi Yi frowned slightly, "Of course, I'm going to save your young master and young lady."
"Little brother, there are six blood wolf demons over there! Only the young master and the young lady in our team are both at the beginning level of harmony, and with the help of the young lady's flame enchantment, they can support it for a while. ”
"Little brother, let's go out and move the rescuers!"
Shi Yi asked rhetorically, "How many people are there outside, can you deal with these six blood wolf demons?"
When he asked like this, the man's expression darkened, and he muttered, "As long as we can keep the young master and young lady out of danger, it will be worth our death."
Shi Yi sneered, "To tell you the truth, we have lost our way, and we want to go out to report the news, but I am afraid that your young master and young lady will die long ago." Since I let you lead the way, I am completely sure, and if you delay any longer, if you can't catch up with the rescue, you can't complain about me. ”
Hearing this, the man looked at Shi Yi and his party suspiciously, gritted his teeth, "Okay! I'll take you there!"
