Chapter 64: Ambush
Falling Rock Mountain is located in the edge of the Qingwu Mountains, close to the side of Lingnan Mountain, according to legend, a long time ago, this place is still a waterhole, providing water for some nearby beasts and human cultivators, suddenly one day, after a thunderstorm, a boulder fell from the sky and smashed on the waterhole, Falling Rock Mountain got its name, and also attracted some high-level monks to investigate, but found that this is just an ordinary stone and then left one after another, this mountain is as high as a hundred zhang, far less than the height of Lingnan Mountain thousands of zhang, can only be said to be a small mountain, or a stone hill, standing on the top of the mountain can see the mountain at a glance, the peak of a stone pavilion stands。
"Senior Brother Fang, you see that there seems to be a Taoist friend over there" A young man with a round face and thick eyebrows pointed to the front and said to the side, and next to him sat an elegant young man, holding a white paper fan, plus a white Taoist robe, which looked a little fairy-like, and there were four monks sitting on the round table of the entire stone pavilion, two men and two women, wearing Taoist robes with a uniform blue background and white edges.
Fang Nan shook his fan, looked in the direction pointed by his junior brother, and sure enough, he saw a monk rushing here, and he sighed lightly, and saw the monk's figure flashing, walking in a zigzag, which seemed to be slow, but in fact it was very fast, and he was a little surprised by his footwork.
The person who came was the Yuan Lou who had run for a day, the distance on the way was gradually shortened, helpless, had to call out the deity, fortunately in the beast bag to check Pu Yang Rui's storage bag, found a wind charm, immediately took out and pasted on his body, this was barely caught up, but the distance is still getting closer and closer, about to go out of the Qingwu Mountains, only to recall the deity, so as not to cause trouble, I also saw the four people in the stone pavilion from a distance, so far away the divine sense can not detect the other party's cultivation, in line with the idea that more is better than less, Yuan Lou changed direction slightly, ready to bypass the falling stone mountain, this mountain he also knows, not big, it will not take much time to bypass, If the shadow leopard in the rear dares to rush straight, maybe those monks can still help themselves block it.
"Fellow Daoist, can you come up and talk about it" Fang Nan shouted below, his voice was full of magnetism, very good, gentle with a hint of non-refusal.
Yuan Lou, who was close to the foot of the mountain, stopped, looking at Fang Nan at the top of the mountain, frowned, he didn't want to hit the other party to invite him, he was about to leave the Qingwu Mountains, and when the shadow leopard chased after him, he would have scruples, maybe he would let himself go, and it was undoubtedly stupid to stay at this time.
"My senior brother called you, didn't you hear" Kou Ping, who had a round face and thick eyebrows, got up and shouted at the Yuanlou under the mountain, seeing that he was hesitating at the foot of the mountain and was a little angry, no monk had seen his own clothes and did not give face.
Yuan Lou's eyes rolled, thought about countermeasures, and then walked towards the mountain, and in a moment, he had climbed to the top of the mountain, came to the stone pavilion, and also knew the cultivation of the four people, one was at the peak of aura, two late stage, and one mid-stage monk, and hugged his fist at him, "I have seen two senior brothers and two senior sisters."
As soon as Kou Ping saw that Yuanlou hadn't even arrived in the middle of the period, the contempt in his eyes was even stronger, and he would climb the relationship when he came up, who is your senior brother, Fang Nan was also a little disappointed, his cultivation is so low, what good footwork can he learn, most of the good footwork is to be cultivated, and the two beautiful female cultivators even ignored it, so they didn't exist.
However, Fang Nan still smiled slightly, "Daoist friends left the Qingwu Mountains in such a hurry, I don't know what happened."
Hearing this, Yuan Lou was afraid and said, "I was originally a casual cultivator, and I went to Lingnan Mountain with my companions to hunt some vampire bats, but I didn't expect to meet a shadow leopard, my companion was killed, and I escaped by luck."
"Shadow Leopard?" Fang Nan was stunned, it was the royal family of the Qingwu Mountains, he didn't expect an early monk to escape, he couldn't help but look at it again, and Kou Ping on the side was also surprised, but he was still a little suspicious.
"Since you met the shadow leopard, why haven't you been injured?" Fang Nan looked at Yuan Lou's black robe, although it was a little dusty, it was quite neat, and he was a little puzzled.
Yuan Lou looked left and right, a little hesitant, he didn't expect to encounter this situation, otherwise he would have dressed up directly, half a ring, and after Kou Ping on the side showed an impatient look, he said, "I'...... When I saw the Shadow Leopard, I ran away."
"Phew" Kou Ping spit out directly without hesitation, if it was contempt just now, now it is disgusted, and it is really shameful to abandon his companions and run away.
The two female cultivators also glanced at him, snorted coldly, and continued to chat in a low voice.
For the dislike of a few people, Yuan Lou didn't care at all, these four people were gorgeously dressed, and there was an arrogance between their eyebrows, they were obviously monks of the strong sect, and the two female cultivators were even more pampered, and they pointed directly at the Qingwu Mountains while talking and laughing, looking relaxed, and completely regarded it as a back garden, seeing that Fang Nan's eyes looking at him also changed, he hurriedly said in a panic, "Don't talk about this, that shadow leopard is still chasing me, it is estimated that there is still a cup of tea, let's run quickly."
When Kou Ping heard this, he shouted, "Do you think we are like you, you know that it is useless to escape."
"Still chasing, I don't know what kind of cultivation that shadow leopard is?" Fang Nan asked.
"It's a demon beast that has already given birth to Neidan, but it hasn't officially entered the spirit base period yet," he replied after thinking about it, ignoring Kou Ping's sarcasm.
"What" Fang Nan was startled, grabbed Yuan Lou's shoulders with both hands, and was a little excited, "What you said is true?"
Yuan Lou was also confused, and he didn't understand why he was so excited, "It's true."
"Haha" Fang Nan laughed, this time he came out for the demon beast's inner dan, he needed the demon pill to build his own foundation, unfortunately, the demon pill in the sect was out of stock, and the high-level ones were not used, so he ran out to try his luck, I heard that the demon beasts in the Lingnan Mountain area were frequently active, but I didn't expect to meet this kind of good thing just when I arrived, or the royal family, the quality of the inner pill must surpass that of ordinary demon beasts, and the foundation building is more certain, thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh a few more times, sighed secretly that my luck was good, and turned around and commanded, " Prepare, prepare, kill this shadow leopard and try not to destroy the demon pill."
"Yes" Kou Ping next to him responded, and was also happy for his senior brother, patted the storage bag, and flew out of a compass, the middle of the compass was painted with a cage made of rattan, and after flying out, it rotated in the air, and disappeared into the ground under his feet in a flash, and the rocky ground under his feet was glowing with a rich green light, and in a few breaths, the green light disappeared, and the ground returned to normal.
The two female cultivators also stopped talking and stood up, one of the plump female cultivators took out a jade box, and after opening it, there were dense steel needles inside, reaching out a little, countless steel needles flew up and disappeared into the ground, after doing this, several people took out a spirit talisman and slapped it on their bodies, and their bodies became a little blurred until they disappeared.
"Fellow Daoist, don't be afraid, as long as you introduce the Shadow Leopard into the Stone Pavilion, we will naturally deal with it" Fang Nan comforted, for fear that it would ruin his own good deeds, and after speaking, he also slapped the spirit rune on his body and disappeared.
This is using himself as bait, Yuan Lou said secretly in his heart, but it is good to be able to solve this trouble, looking around, there is no one, a trace of spiritual power runs on his eyes, and his bright eyes have become a little deep, looking around, although there is still no one, but Yuan Lou still saw a trace of spiritual power fluctuations in the air next to a pillar, which is imperceptible, that is the fluctuation of the spirit rune itself, and the people inside cannot use mana, unless it is a spirit rune refined by himself, it will collide with the spiritual power of the spirit rune, thus losing the stealth effect, and it is determined that there is a person there, if it is observed with divine sense, it can also be detected in small fluctuations。
Just when Yuanlou looked around, a black shadow pierced out and rushed here, the speed was so fast, pulling out a black belt, and a few breaths arrived at the foot of the mountain, without stopping, directly climbing the mountain.
"Why don't you run away," Shadow Leopard said coldly.
Yuan Lou's lips rose slightly, "I'm choosing a place for you, the scenery here is good, just bury you", the voice is incomprehensible, like a murmur, in the world of cultivating immortals, there are very few human races who can speak beast language.
The shadow leopard's face was furious, and he instantly rushed towards the Yuan Tower, and when he was about to enter the stone pavilion, he suddenly stopped, his blood-colored eyes scanned the surroundings, and the demon beast's innate super perception made it feel a trace of danger.
"What, scared?" the corners of Yuan Lou's mouth rose, and he looked proud.
Ignoring it, the shadow leopard took a step back, his eyes flashed with dazzling blood and swept around, his gaze was certain, turning into a black shadow towards the pillar on the side, blinking an eye, the sharp front paws swept, "when" sparks flew around, a figure held a large knife and slashed on the leopard's claws, and the ensuing power made it fly in the air, and then the shadow leopard did not choose to pursue, but the front paws were sweeping, the thick pavilion pillar was cut off, and countless gravel splashed.
After cutting off a pillar, it was obvious that the stone pavilion shook, and the top of the pavilion above also fell downward, and the shadow leopard kept going, bypassing the pavilion, and turned an arc towards another stone pillar.
"Not good" Yuan Lou stared, this is to force himself out, each stone pillar has a zhang in width, the top of the pavilion above the support is tens of thousands of catties, if the consequences of the collapse are unimaginable, just when he wanted to summon a magic weapon to block, Fang Nan in the corner couldn't stay, seeing Kou Ping was knocked away, he knew that the shadow leopard was not fooled, and seeing that it destroyed the stone pillar, he hurriedly beckoned, and a ruler magic weapon flew out and hit the shadow leopard.
The shadow leopard, which was about to shatter the stone pillar with its claws, turned around and slapped when it saw the ruler coming, and at the time of the collision, the ruler shook, and a cloud of white mist flew out of it, accompanied by crystal snowflakes, a terrifying cold force surged, wrapping the shadow leopard, and the clicking sound continued.
In a few breaths, the white mist receded, leaving only the shadow leopard frozen into an ice sculpture. Fang Nan smiled, took the white jade ruler, and said to Kou Ping, "Senior brother, are you okay?"
"It's okay, I didn't expect this leopard's strength to be so great", got up and patted his body, Kou Ping looked at the frozen shadow leopard and said.
In the air on the side, there were a few flickerings, and two women appeared, the plump woman smiled, looking at Fang Nan's eyes with brilliance, "It's still senior brother who is powerful, and the Inner Dan Demon Beast can't block Senior Brother's blow."
"Hehe, it's too light on the enemy" Fang Nan said modestly, very happy in his heart.
Just as a few people were talking, a black spot flew in the sky, getting bigger and bigger, a huge bat appeared, glanced at everyone, and saw the frozen shadow leopard by the pillar at a glance.
"Ah" Kou Ping and the others covered their ears in some pain, and hurriedly held up the body protection spirit shield, the noise in their ears was much smaller, but it was still there.
With a crisp click, the ice sculpture cracked, and the sound wave hit, not penetrating the ice, but colliding with the ice sculpture, shaking its surface inch by inch.
