Volume 2 Ancient Sword Chapter 38 Labyrinth
Saying that, just as Yue Chen's hand followed the Qinglong Broken Sword and pierced into the center of the flame leopard's eyebrows, a powerful spiritual power wave blocked the momentum of the Qinglong Sword, so that it would not continue to enter deeply. Yue Chen couldn't move for a while, so he stuck it on the head of a demon beast the size of a small mountain, and looked at the giant eyes that would never blink.
The spiritual power wave emitted from the flame leopard's body retreated after a short block. Then the blood in the flame leopard's body began to surge, converging along the thick and powerful blood vessels of the roots and branches to the center of the eyebrows. In an instant, Yue Chen felt a wave of dizziness, and in his mind, he saw that the sword head of the green dragon broken sword in his hand had turned into a dragon head of a green dragon, slowly opening the giant mouth of the sky devouring, and stretching out a greedy blood-devouring dragon tongue.
Suddenly, the blood of the fifth-order flame leopard began to flow into the mouth of the green dragon, and disappeared into the green dragon's broken sword along the dragon's tongue.
Yue Chen's mind, mind, and spiritual sense, were always suffering from purgatory. Gradually, Yue Chen felt that the beast blood he saw in his divine thoughts was not beast blood, but the most powerful and quintessential river of spiritual power between heaven and earth, like the sun and the moon rising, rolling and churning, forever. And the powerful beast flesh and bones of the flame leopard were like the purest spirit mounds and spirit stones in heaven and earth, which were slowly swallowed and melted by the river of spiritual power, merging in it. In the end, all of them were devoured by the greedy green dragon.
The huge fifth-order flame leopard was only left with a beast skin, supported by an invisible force, and still maintained its majestic posture of looking at the heavens and the earth, staying at the top of the mountain.
Yue Chen only felt that it had been a long, long time before the green dragon gradually "disappeared", and there was a deflated sound from the huge animal skin sac, and it quickly fell to the ground. Yue Chen also landed, slowly pulled out his hand to interrupt the sword, and said casually: "The green dragon devours blood, and the frost is solid!"
"Isn't this the second realm of the Qinglong Sword's awakening?" Yue Chen kept asking himself, because he didn't expect that in this endless killing, the Qinglong Sword had already broken through the realm of the first "Qinglong Naling, Zheng Mang Emerges". And under the opportunity, he devoured the flesh and blood of the extremely powerful fifth-order demon beast and used it for his own use, thus causing the second realm to directly reach the Great Perfection.
Fortunately, Yue Chen did not notice this abnormality, which had any effect on himself. It can be regarded as a great blessing in misfortune. Looking at the collapsed animal skin in front of him, Yue Chen immediately thought of the Heavenly Lonely Turtle who blocked the blow of life and death for himself. After a few runs, he came to the Heavenly Lonely Turtle and held it in his hand.
I saw that on the shell of the Heavenly Lonely Turtle, it seemed that seven cracks had been torn open by several powerful forces, and the body of the Heavenly Lonely Turtle trembled, unable to calm down for a long time. Yue Chen let out a long sigh and said, "Thank you, little turtle! I think, we'll be fine!"
At this time, Yue Chen completely recalled the previous scene, and secretly exclaimed: "The Heavenly Lonely Turtle who has just entered the Tongzhi Realm can block the powerful power of the fifth-order demon beast without destroying his body. Without a strong bloodline inheritance, it would be hard to believe. Thanks to the turtle for defusing that blow for himself, otherwise he would ......!"
Looking at the cracks on the turtle shell, Yue Chen suddenly felt that this turtle shell was like an ancient powerful prohibition, which had been guarding this young Heavenly Lonely Turtle. And at this moment, this powerful prohibition has obviously been broken by most of it, and the power of the prohibition is slowly disappearing.
Yue Chen judged by his feelings that the Xuan Turtle should not be in danger of life, as long as he could recover his cultivation safely and steadily, he would definitely be able to recover completely. It's just that after losing the protection of the prohibition, the heavy responsibility of protecting it falls on oneself.
After the slaughter was over, Yue Chen looked at the mountain full of demon beast corpses, and also thought of the people from the Heavenly Wolf Valley, and after a slight groan, he was ready to go and see them. But who knows, just as he turned around, familiar faces also appeared on this mountain.
"Hall Master, is that you, are you still alive?" called out Ben Meng in a deep voice, but he did not dare to take a step forward.
"Senior Brother Ban, I can stand here, of course I am still alive. You organize everyone to clean up these demon beast spirit materials, I want to rest for a while. ”
Another said, "Hall Master, don't lie to us. At this moment, we don't feel your breath as a living being, and we don't look like a living thing. ”
Hearing this, Yue Chen remembered the situation just now, and said, "Illusion?" Then, he shook his head and smiled bitterly a few times, and replied: "It's okay, you pack up these demon beast spirit materials, I will leave this place first, and then come back to join you after recovery." With that, Yue Chen's Imperial Sword headed towards the mountain where the Flame Leopard Leader had been leaving for a long time.
"Everyone must remember that the situation of the hall master that you see today must not be leaked to the outside world. Otherwise, if Ban knows who left the news, I swear to take him as the head. ”
Ban Meng first solemnly warned the people present, Shaoqing, an upright man like him, also let out a sigh of pity, and said, "Now, I think I understand one thing. It must be some tortoise king bastard who has no children and grandchildren, and told the inner disciples about our hall master's battle against Yin Ling. Coupled with the various situations in the Heavenly Wolf Valley in the past few months, this forced the Sect Elder to kill the killer and want to get rid of the hall master as soon as possible. If I get out alive, I must have someone to pieces. ”
Ban Meng suddenly became very scary, and it also made everyone a little overwhelmed. His anger ignited others as well.
One person said: "Senior Brother Ban, now that the hall master is not here, what do you say, we will do it!" After the hall master's purple clothes soaked in blood and blood-stained mountains and rivers, I also figured out that instead of waiting for death, it is better to follow the hall master to break through in a dignified manner. He's damn it!"
The crowd echoed the hues in their hearts and began to face their situation.
"Okay, as you know, the fur and animal bones of this flame leopard are extremely rare spiritual materials, so we sorted them out one by one. What is even more precious is the flesh and blood of this flame leopard, which is an excellent nourishing resource for monks like us. You're welcome, you can eat as much as you want. Perhaps, with the flesh of these thousands of flame leopards, we can also make a breakthrough, so that we can follow the hall master and fight vigorously. ”
"Oops! Speaking of this spiritually powerful beast meat, my heart flutters and flutters. However, I will leave the finest flesh and the purest blood to our master. If it weren't for him, I would have been taken away by the corpse collectors. This kindness is like rebuilding!"
Ban Meng walked over and patted someone on the shoulder, and said, "Good brother, if more than 300 bastards can be like you, how can the hall master be reduced to this point." It's just that the hall master doesn't touch the fishy things of the mortal world. You don't have to worry about that. However, if there is leopard blood to prepare for the hall master, that would not be bad. Perhaps, when the hall master is useful. ”
"Huh?" A surprised voice came out of the crowd, and said, "Senior Brother Ban, could it be that the hall master is really a god descending to earth and does not eat fireworks in the world?"
Among the more than 300 of us, some people have also asked about this, but Senior Brother Yue has always been secretive and has not mentioned a word. However, judging from the situation today, I always feel that the hall master has entered a real illusion, and perhaps it has something to do with it. ”
Someone responded in a deep voice: "Senior Brother Ban's words are true. I feel that too. If this is the case, everyone should keep it a secret even more, and not spoil the affairs of the hall master. ”
Among these people, only Ban Meng knew more about Yue Chen, so he deliberately beat everyone. In fact, he also knew that if these people were really like the more than 300 people, they would not follow Yue Chen here. Because he came to such a dangerous place this time, I am afraid that even some arrogant hermit gentlemen have dispelled the idea of sending secret agents. Therefore, these people in front of them are reliable.
After a while, everyone participated in the operation of sorting out the corpses of the demon beasts. Some people light a fire to barbecue meat, some people lightly peel and cut spiritual materials, and some people carefully sort out spiritual materials. Everyone's division of labor is so harmonious, and the conversation and laughter are more like a family, and the ridicule and scolding are endless.
Three days later.
Yue Chen brought a litter of flame leopard cubs to meet everyone. As soon as Yue Chen appeared, everyone immediately shouted, and Yue Chen at this moment was a real person. The purple shirt he was wearing also turned into a red shirt, which looked a little more powerful.
When I looked up, I saw that everyone had placed the animal skins, animal bones, and the parts of the demon beast's internal organs that could become spiritual materials. There were so many that even Yue Chen was taken aback.
One of them laughed and approached, "Hall Master, you have killed a total of three thousand six hundred flame leopards. Among them, there is only one fifth-order demon beast with only one precious fur left; there are only sixteen fourth-order demon beasts, and half of them are demon pills; third-order demon beasts have reached 880; second-order demon beasts have the largest number of 1,990; and the remaining more than 700 are first-order demon beasts. We all cleaned up all the spiritual materials according to the level of the demon beasts. It's just that the number is a bit large, and it seems that you can't take all of them away. What a pity!"
"I am very impressed that Senior Brother has such a memory ability!
"The hall master is serious! I am a small person, a crippled person, and I dare not call me anything. My surname is Zhuge again, the word Yi!"
"Senior brother is as his name suggests, and his bearing is extraordinary!" Yue Chen said, but he also understood one thing, when a group of people left a person's side, another group of the same genius would definitely appear and replace them. If this matter had been placed before, Yue Chen would never have had such a deep understanding.
"Senior brothers, don't worry, don't talk about these spiritual materials, even if there are a hundred copies like this, I can take them all away. Yue Chen paused for a moment and said, "Everyone is so organized, it's not convenient for us to divide the spiritual materials after we go out." I think so, everyone separates these demon beast spirit materials according to the number of people's heads. When the time comes, we can deal with it quickly. ”
"Oh, hall master, the people we have here, counting your old man, there are a total of eight hundred and eight people, if you divide it like this, you will suffer too much. Not to mention dividing these spiritual materials, even without your consent, I have eaten a lot of beast meat that is extremely full of spiritual power, and I, Sima Liang, am also uneasy, afraid that you will pursue it!"
This person named Sima Liang spoke in a dull voice, like a broken drum that had been beaten. Speaking of words, it is naturally a bit of a joke.
"Senior Brother Sima laughed! If you really don't want to go, you should spend these spiritual resources for me. Because there are too many, I can't spend it alone!" Yue Chen also joked and continued: "Three thousand six hundred flame leopards, everyone can eat more than half of them in three days. It can be seen that the amount of food you have eaten is amazing. It's a blessing to be able to eat, and that's a great thing!"
Under the organization of Ban Meng, everyone quickly reassembled the spirit materials of the demon beasts. One said, "Hall Master, why don't we stay for a few more days and wait until we have eaten all this fatty fresh meat before leaving?"
"No need! Later, I will give Senior Brother Zhuge a wishful bag. I don't think there will be any more good things like this along the way, and it should be enough for everyone to take everything they want to take with them. As he spoke, he handed Zhuge Yi an empty Ruyi bag that had been prepared earlier.
After Zhuge Yi tried to open it a few times, he said, "Hall Master, this seems to be a high-level Ruyi bag, and my Dao Xing can't see all its space!"
"However, the space that Senior Brother sees is enough, isn't it?"
Zhuge Yi's body shook slightly, as if he understood something, and said with a smile: "Hall Master, I know what to do!"
After Yue Chen saw Zhuge Yi leaving, he asked again, "Which senior brother will weave a beast pen or a beast cage or something?"
"Hey, I'll do this again!" As soon as the words fell, a small head with an inverted triangle poked over, and said to him: "Hehe, my name is Liu Huang, and my ancestors all made a living by weaving all kinds of delicate animal cages." What is the purpose of the church?"
Yue Chen laughed "haha" and said, "Great!" As he spoke, he opened a low-level Ruyi bag and said, "Senior Brother Liu, this Ruyi bag of mine is almost unusable." Yesterday, I stumbled upon a litter of leopard cubs. You can't be a human being without compassion, so I decided to take them out of the middle palace realm and find a way to feed them. ”
Liu Huang gestured, left quickly, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he came back with a few bundles of different flowers and plants, and quickly weaved them in his hands. said: "Actually, this is a litter of wolf cubs, not leopard cubs at all. ”
"Hmm, didn't the senior brothers say that this demon beast is called a flame leopard?" Yue Chen was a little confused and asked.
"Hall Master, you have killed so many flame leopards, have you found any abnormalities in it?"
"Yes!" Yue Chen affirmed, "In my opinion, they are indeed demon beasts like wolves, but when they are running fast, they will make people feel a kind of phantom like a cheetah, enveloping the body of this demon beast." ”
Actually, when I was a child, I heard an old man in our village say that there was a demon beast in the Middle Palace Realm called 'Flowing Shadow Ice Wolf'. When Liu Huang said this, he suddenly stopped what he was doing, looked at Yue Chen, and exclaimed: "What old thing said, it seems to be exactly the same as the situation of this demon beast!"
"Huh, won't you?"
After a moment of surprise, Liu Huang quickly calmed down and said, "Hall Master, what color did you say this demon beast was?"
Yue Chen patted his head and said in a lost voice: "That's right! I have killed so many of these demon beasts, but I can't tell the color of this demon beast." It's as if this color can only be felt by human consciousness, but cannot be expressed in words. ”
"That's right! I didn't expect that dead drunk to know about this!"
"Which old-timer is still alive?"
"Maybe! I've been in Shenhu Mountain for sixteen years, and I haven't been home again!" Liu Huang smiled and said, "However, hall master, don't treat him as a junior, he's just a stinky drunk." ”
Yue Chen smiled secretly, and said in his heart: "How can it be so simple for someone who can know so clearly? Which Seventh Master back then was not hidden in the remote suburbs? After I get out, I will definitely find an opportunity to find the old drunk in Liu Huang's mouth." ”
Liu Huang seemed to sense Yue Chen's thoughts, and said, "The hall master really thinks that he is some kind of hidden master in the world, if we can really get out alive, I will personally take you to find him." He is very easy to talk to, as long as good wine is prepared. However, I advise you to be mentally prepared, who is really not a master of the world. Everyone in our village knows where he came from. ”
"Oh, what's his origin?"
"An orphan who was raised by the lonely old hunter in the village! He is younger than my grandfather! I think he can tell this story because of which old hunter! And which old hunter is the one who has lived in our village for generations. His ancestors have always been a single lineage, and in his generation, they were completely cut off. ”
Yue Chen nodded and said, "I see!"
At this time, Ban Meng and the others gathered over, and a large number of demon beast spirit materials and beast meat had disappeared from the mountain, and they were all packed into the Ruyi bag.
Ban Meng said: "Hall Master, next, where are we going?"
"Go ahead!"
Everyone was silent for a while, and Yue Chen just said, "Go forward", who knows where it was going.
"In the past three days, I have inspected the situation in the mountains in this area, and there are no other demon beasts appearing or approaching. At first, I didn't feel anything wrong, but slowly I realized that we were in a labyrinthine mountain. No matter which way I flew, the final thing I could clearly tell was this mountain, and beyond that, it was the same everywhere.
I vaguely feel that this labyrinth is like an invisible beast pen, the demon beasts outside can't get in, and the demon beasts inside shouldn't be able to get out.
yes, I don't know where to go!"
Sima Liang said disapplausively: "That's not right! If it's really a labyrinth, how can the bastards surnamed Lao come and go freely?"
Therefore, at this time, everyone must not retain their wisdom, as long as it is a method that can be thought of, we all need to try it. ”
One person said: "It is useless to say more, but practice brings true knowledge." Let's choose a direction first, take a walk, and then discuss. ”
Afterwards, more than 800 people hurried along the rolling hills in the direction they had set. No one had anything to say, and everyone focused on what they were passing through. Because everyone knows that at this time, it is impossible for Yue Chen to joke with everyone.
After walking for about three hours, Liu Huang was the first to shout, "Dear mother, we are back at the foot of the mountain again!"
