Chapter 18: The Might of the Demon Beast (3)
At noon the next day, three young men were discussing something in front of a charred pit in the hilly area of the Hundred Beasts Mountain. They were the three Liu Yiwen who set off at noon yesterday and arrived at the foot of the Hundred Beasts Mountain until evening. The first time he came here for two days, this time it was naturally much faster to have Qi Xiong.
Qi Xiong rubbed a mass of mud the size of a fingernail and said in a deep voice: "Brother Linghu, you see that this pit has just appeared, and it should have been left by someone fighting here." ”
The Linghu man in his mouth is a senior brother of Feiyu Peak, with a single name and the word "Hua". This person was condensed a year earlier than him, and the two had a close personal relationship. Ling Huhua looks ordinary, just a wooden hairpin on the top of his head, wearing a blue horse coat, gray cloth tight trousers, and a pair of black cotton shoes. It looks like a footman. The only thing that impressed was the deep light in those eyes.
Ling Huhua nodded and analyzed: "Not bad! Judging from the traces left, the number of people in this group is at least four or more. ”
Liu Yiwen looked around and found nothing, surrounded by a reddish-brown earth, dotted with clumps of tall shrubs. There was a slight mist floating in the air, and the vision was not particularly clear. He tried to remember the last time he came, and he probably knew that this was the hill where the fire spiders lived. Then he said solemnly, "After passing through this hill, we will walk some distance and we will reach a place called White Deer Mountain, where we were looking for the Five Flame Grass last time. ”
Ling Huhua looked around and pointed to a ramp on the right: "If the purpose of their trip is Bailu Mountain, it should be going this way." We searched in this direction, leaving some traces along the way. ”
So the three of them carefully searched for the depths along some traces, accompanied by two masters of the condensation stage, and when they encountered some low-level demon beasts, they casually sent them away. This made Liu Yiwen sigh at the power of the condensate realm, and the caution he had when he first came here was completely useless at this time.
After a little more than an hour, the scenery in front of me changed abruptly, and a large green woodland appeared in front of me. There are even more awe-inspiring peaks not far away, but the view here is obstructed, making it even more difficult to search.
Ling Huhua had been at the front of the three, and at this time he stopped and looked at a mountain peak in the distance and was silent. Liu Yiwen looked at this peak with a sense of déjà vu.
"Brother Linghu, what's wrong?" Qi Xiong asked.
Ling Huhua frowned slightly, and said slowly: "The grass and trees here are abundant, and the vision is extremely poor, if you search like this, it will be difficult to gain anything." ”
Qi Xiong nodded and said, "What Brother Linghu said is extremely true, but I know that there is a better way to do this." ”
Liu Yiwen also agreed with Qi Xiong's thoughts in his heart, but he was not familiar with Ling Huhua, and it was difficult for him to express his opinions because of his low realm. Although he was anxious, he also understood that most of this matter depended on the strength of these two people.
Then Ling Huhua took out a two-foot-square map from his arms, which was somewhat similar to the one from Senior Brother Sun Huo last time, but it looked more detailed. There are signs on the mountains, rivers and rivers, and there are red dots in some places, but the center is mostly blank, obviously some unknown places, and there are some notes written on it in small characters, and most of them are the names of some monsters that need to be paid attention to.
I saw him point to a place on the map and say, "Look, where we are now is near this White Deer Mountain." This is past the fringe area, and the danger is heightened. This dense forest area is not small, and it may not be appropriate to enter so rashly to search for people. ”
At this point, he paused and looked at Qi Xiong, who frowned and muttered. Then he smiled slightly and continued, "Why don't you two help me protect the Fa, and I'll use my divine sense to investigate." It's only a few miles away, but it's better than searching like this. ”
Liu Yiwen perked up and thought: It must be much more efficient to be able to search with divine sense. Divine consciousness is a kind of consciousness that can only be cultivated in the Mud Pill Palace during the condensation period and transcends the five senses. After it is released, it can replace the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and hands to perceive the range of its envelope, and the distance at which it can be released depends on the strength of the cultivation and the divine consciousness. Generally speaking, the initial stage of condensate can only be released for a few miles, and the Jindan stage can cover a distance of more than ten miles, and the distance of the higher realm is even farther.
Qi Xiong was stunned for a moment, and said, "I didn't expect Brother Linghu to cultivate his divine sense so quickly, it really makes the little brother embarrassed." ”
Ling Huhua shook his head and said, "It's just a month ago, and I don't know if it can come in handy." ”
He found a hidden place to sit cross-legged, and Liu Yiwen and Liu Yiwen stood on either side of him on guard.
Ling Huhua's fingers pinched out a strange trick like a wheel, and then he actually closed his eyes and sat up quietly. After a stick of incense, he frowned slightly and opened his eyes. He got up and pointed in a certain direction and said, "There seems to be movement over there, I can't tell it too recognizantly." Let's go!"
Liu Yiwen was secretly happy in his heart, and the three of them hurriedly hurried towards the place he was pointing.
After half a meal, a faint sound of fighting was heard from the front. As the distance got closer, the sound of the fight became clearer and clearer, and the intersecting strength was mixed with the low roar of the beast.
Qi Xiong held the sword in his hand and said solemnly: "Open the shield and pay attention to safety!" Liu Yiwen was stunned in his heart, and pulled out the Zhengang sword.
The three of them slowly approached the place where the fight was fighting, and after crossing a slope overgrown with weeds, Ling Hu Hua came to a halt.
Liu Yiwen leaned forward suspiciously and looked forward, and the scene in front of him made him stay where he was. I saw a fox-like and non-fox-like demon beast on a rock the size of a zhang, with a fiery red body that kept spitting fireballs and wind blades attacking all around. And the spells that attacked it were all easily avoided by him, and his movements were very flexible. The grass and trees within a radius of more than ten zhang have long been scorched and dilapidated. Among the five people besieged, Liu Yiwen did not find anyone he knew.
The five of them seemed to have noticed that someone was coming, and as soon as the attack in their hands slowed down, one of them, a man of about thirty years old, said loudly to them: "Is it a fellow Daoist of the Imperial Sword Mountain Villa in front? Zuo Weicheng in the Lower Qingfeng Hall is catching this fire civet beast with a few fellow disciples. If a few Taoist friends can help one or two, there will be spirit coins to thank them afterwards!"
Among the three men and two women, in addition to this person, there was also a woman in the early stage of condensation, and the other three only had a late stage of qi refining cultivation. And the fire beaver beast, which was just the size of an ordinary tiger, did not appear to be overwhelmed by the siege of these five people. It bounced from side to side, striking back a few times from time to time, and a shrill hissing sound from its mouth was particularly clear in the silence of the primeval forest.
Qi Xiong and Ling Huhua looked at each other and responded, "Fellow Daoists of Qingfeng Palace, it's really unfortunate. The three of us were anxious to find a few of our fellow students, who would be in danger if we were late. I hope you all Haihan!"
Zuo Weicheng's face was a little solemn at first, and then he said with relief: "Since this is the case, I won't delay a few people!"
Then Ling Huhua smiled and asked, "I wonder how many people from my sect have met on the way here?"
