Chapter 187: The Devil's Trail (I)
"Smack!"
The staff suddenly froze above the head of the Moyu Clan's young man, and Ji Cheng's hand held the handle of the staff steadily.
"Uh-" The agitated wind blew the young man's thick black hair, revealing a crimson tattoo on the back of his neck.
Seeing that Ji Chengche had repeatedly prevented him from killing the young man of the Moyu Clan, Liu Fengxuan wanted to be angry as soon as his eyebrows raised, and when he saw the strange tattoo on the back of his neck, he couldn't help but whisper: "Black Rock Flower - you are a descendant of the Yunkong Clan?!"
It turns out that the status of the Yunkong clan in the Moyu clan is roughly equivalent to that of the Liufeng clan and the Xueyu clan, with a slight difference in that the former is respected by men, while the latter is headed by women.
If this young man is really a descendant of the Yunkong Clan, then his status in the Moyu Clan must not be low, and he may be a descendant of an important person.
The young man's eyes stared unblinkingly at the staff hovering above his head, as if he hadn't heard what Liu Fengxuan said, and closed his mouth tightly without saying a word.
Liu Fengxuan slowly put away his staff and said, "Since this little scumbag is a descendant of the Yunkong Clan, he must know where the Holy Hidden Peak is. ”
She said this to Ji Chengqing.
Ji Chengche nodded and said, "Little brother, we came from the Floating Island to find two friends, and we have no other intentions. If you're willing to lead the way to the Hidden Peak, that's great. If you don't want to, you can leave at any time. ”
The young man saw that Ji Chengche had saved himself from Liufeng Xuan's staff twice in a row, and his cultivation was so shocking, he couldn't help but have a good feeling in his heart, and his face softened a lot, but he still didn't speak.
Ji Chengche smiled and said, "Whether you believe my words or not, can you help us leave the mountainside first?"
The young man was silent for a moment, nodded his head and walked forward.
This time, he really didn't cheat again, and Ji Chengche and Liu Fengxuan walked out of the stone cave very smoothly.
Coming out of the cave, in front of the stone mountain is an endless wilderness, all kinds of underwater plants are black and swarthy in the field of vision, and from time to time there are schools of overwhelming sea fish swimming by.
Ji Chengche looked at the young man of the Moyu clan and asked, "We are going to find the Sacred Hidden Peak, there will be no danger for you to leave alone, right?"
When Liu Fengxuan heard that Ji Chengche really wanted to let go of this young man, he said hesitantly: "Let him go, do you know where the Holy Hidden Peak is?"
Ji Chengqing was just about to answer, when he heard the young man suddenly speak, "I'll take you there." ”
He stretched out his hand to the southeast and said, "From here, through the Wangye, and over two more mountains, is the Sacred Hidden Peak. It's easy to get lost in the wilderness without someone to lead the way. I can be your guide, but tell me how you got here. ”
Liu Fengxuan heard the meaning of the young man's words, and said disdainfully: "Even if I tell you the path into the mirage, you haven't left here either. However, if you can help me find them, I might consider taking you away. ”
The young man also gave a contemptuous look at him, and shook his head without hesitation: "No need!"
Ji Chengche didn't want the two of them to stiffen again, so he interrupted Liu Fengxuan's words and said, "Okay, let's settle it." ”
At that moment, the three of them went down the stone mountain and headed towards the field.
As soon as he entered the Wangye, Ji Chengche immediately noticed that this place looked very strange, and the flowing sea water in the wilderness was like a raging wild horse galloping and rolling around, cutting the surrounding space into pieces invisibly. People wander in it, such as walking in a labyrinth of fickleness, and the scenery that is very clear one moment will inexplicably collapse and disappear the next moment.
Large schools of all kinds of marine fish seem to have an innate instinct, and they walk through the wilderness, as if no one else is around.
The plants that grow in the wilderness are also diverse, and they are very different from those on land. Colorful coral reefs, slender seaweeds that float densely in the water like ribbons, ancient trees that grow like branches lying in the dark, large clusters of moss that cover the surface of the reef like a velvet carpet, and many sea flowers, seaweeds, wild fruits, and strange rocks that even Ji Cheng and Liu Fengxuan can't name......
But danger is also everywhere, ticks, demon sharks, sea apes - there are countless bloodthirsty and ferocious sea beasts lurking in the darkness, many of which are even stronger than the black-scaled fire Jiao encountered in the belly of the rocky mountain.
Rao is guided by the young man of the Moyu clan, and Ji Chengche and Liu Fengxuan are still inevitably attacked by fierce beasts along the way. Fortunately, with the cultivation of the two of them, there is no danger after all.
Even without the invasion of sea beasts, the three of them still need to be fully prepared at all times to deal with the unpredictable and ferocious vortex, which feels like trekking through swamps and storms, and if you are not careful, you will be wiped out.
Ji Chengche ran the Datong Nine Tricks while moving forward, constantly absorbing the essence of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi that was free in the sea, and Xiao Qiankun Zhong Gang Qi was drumming up the True Yuan rolling, but he didn't feel tired.
But seeing that the young man of the Moyu clan walked in front, although he did not say a word and his speed did not decrease, his breathing gradually became heavy, and his skills were far less agile than at the beginning, but he still refused to stop complaining.
Ji Chengche couldn't help but admire the hardness of this young man, and thought of the old incident of climbing the glacier alone in order to rush to Lin Yin's appointment when he was a child, and a trace of pity rose in his heart.
He beckoned, "I'm a little hungry, so let's rest here for a while." ”
In fact, with Ji Cheng's current cultivation as a meal and drink dew to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, there is no problem in waiting for three or two months without eating or drinking, he said this in order to give the young man a step down.
Liufeng Xuanyan couldn't guess Ji Cheng's thoughts, thought about it and said, "Okay, just rest for a stick of incense." ”
Ji Chengche smiled slightly, poured out a pill from the small porcelain bottle, handed it to the young man of the Moyu clan, and said, "Swallow it." ”
The young man of the Moyu clan stared at Ji Chengqing vigilantly, and did not reach out to take it.
Ji Chengqing knew that he was hostile to him, and he was afraid that the pill would be poisonous, so he deliberately laughed and said, "You guessed right, this is indeed a poison." When you reach the peak of the Holy Hidden Peak, I will give you the antidote. ”
The young man of the Moyu clan gritted his teeth when he heard this, grabbed the pill in Ji Chengqing's hand and swallowed it in one gulp.
The pill melted in the mouth, turning into a thick and fragrant liquid juice down the throat, the young man's lower abdomen suddenly felt a warm and mellow Shutai, the wisps of heat quickly spread throughout the body, the chill and fatigue in the body were swept away, and the spirit of the whole person was also lifted a lot.
He looked at it in amazement, and saw Ji Chengqing's five-fingered halberd Zhang out of thin air, catching a sea fish.
The sea fish was jumping around, Ji Chengche took out the Longyang short sword and skillfully washed and peeled it, and did not look at the young man of the Moyu clan, and ordered: "Go and help chop some firewood." ”
The young man of the Moyu clan hesitated, but still took out the bone knife to chop firewood.
He had neat hands and feet, and in a moment he came back with a large bundle of firewood. The firewood soaked in the sea was unusually damp, and many of the branches were covered with moss.
Ji Chengqing's movements were not slow, and he skewered the fish meat cut into small pieces onto small sticks, and then set up Chai He.
He contemplated for a moment, and a silver-red flame lit up on the tip of his right index finger, and the sound of "woo" ignited Chai He.
The young man of the Moyu clan had long been surprised by Ji Cheng's endless methods, and silently helped him cook the fish on the shelf.
Ji Chengche picked up a skewer of grilled fish and handed it to Liu Fengxuan, and then divided a skewer to the Moyu boy.
The taste of the fish is exceptionally delicious, although no condiments are added, it is still a supreme taste in the mouth, even people like Liu Fengxuan, who are very picky about the delicacies of the mountains and seas and the food, can't help but praise: "Not bad." ”
The young man of the Moyu clan unexpectedly opened his mouth and said, "This is the old gluttonous fish that is a specialty of Wangye. ”
"Old glutton?" Liu Fengxuan had never heard of.
Ji Chengche smiled and explained, "This is most likely the name of the Moyu clan. I once saw a record of the snow fish in an ancient Wu ancient book, and it should be referred to. ”
Liu Fengxuan's eyes showed a hint of appreciation, and said, "You really know a lot. ”
"I just love to read. ”
Ji Chengche said and turned his head and asked the young man of the Moyu clan, "Little brother, what's your name?"
"Cloud Sky Field. Perhaps he felt that the mouth of eating people was short, but this time the young man of the Moyu clan did not resist and said his name.
"Why are you wandering alone in the wilderness?"
"My mother is sick, and the Great Elder said that only Starfish can save her. ”
"Starfish Flower," Liu Fengxuan said movingly, "There are starfish flowers in the mirage?!"
Yun Kongye was obviously still strongly hostile to Liu Fengxuan, so he didn't hear it.
Ji Chengche asked, "What kind of disease does your mother have?"
Yun Kongye replied, "It's nothing, it's just an ordinary Yin Disease." ”
"Yin Disease?" Ji Chengche was stunned, looked at Liu Fengxuan, and saw that her expression seemed to be the first time he had heard of it.
"It's just that I have absorbed too much rot gas from the sea, and it has accumulated into a disease. Seeing that Ji Chengqing was puzzled, Yun Kongye explained: "In the past, when there were starfish flowers, you only needed to take one petal to cure the disease. It's a pity that starfish flowers are becoming fewer and fewer nowadays, and it is difficult to find them. ”
Ji Chengche suddenly realized and comforted: "You will definitely find the starfish flower." ”
Yun Kongye glanced at Ji Chengqing gratefully, and buried his head in eating fish.
He took two bites and suddenly stopped, his eyes lit up, and he looked up and said, "There is movement!"
In fact, there was no need for Yun Kongye to warn them, Ji Chengche and Liufeng Xuan had already noticed that the nearby fish suddenly had an abnormal commotion, and fled out in panic, and strings of turbid water bubbles came out of the cracks in the rocks on the bottom of the sea, like a pot of boiling water.
"It's not good, run!" Yun Kongye's face changed drastically, he dropped the half-eaten grilled fish, stood up and shouted, "The Kuroshio is coming-"
"Boom!"
Before he could finish his words, a deafening roar of terror erupted from the bottom of the sea.
The seabed cracked, and black frenzy erupted from below, forming countless waves of drumming and raging, enough to destroy everything that swept through heaven and earth.
"Be careful!"
Ji Cheng's eyes were quick, his body jumped out and hugged Yunkong Ye tightly, and he suddenly felt the explosion of "bang" behind him being hit by the huge waves, like a dead leaf drifting with the waves to the depths of the black tide...... (83 Chinese Net.)
