Chapter 66: Falling Flowers
On this day, in the sea of fog outside the Golden Crow Stone Pillar, a blue-white point of light rushed in, and behind it, an endless whirlwind was roaring and approaching rapidly. The blue-white light spot quickly approached the light shield, which turned out to be a flame shield condensed by the dark fire of the Dark Cultivator.
Deng An was in the shield, looking back at the whirlwind, his face was full of helplessness, he didn't dare to pause in the slightest, and entered the ruins through the light shield. The great whirlwind followed, its edges slamming against the reticle, causing it to flicker.
Deng An couldn't remember how many times he had entered the sea of fog, and he didn't know how many times he had been driven back by a whirlwind. Since he couldn't tell the direction in the sea of fog, he took the most clumsy method, which was to go all the way in a certain direction. Previously, relying on the terrain positioning at the bottom of the valley, he tried three directions in turn, but he didn't come to the end. This time, he chose the side of the Golden Crow Stone Pillar, but his luck was still not good, and he encountered a whirlwind before he could go far.
In this regard, Deng An is accustomed to it, letting the whirlwind impact the light mask, there is not a trace of turmoil in his heart, and he does not waste time, and takes the opportunity to slowly recover his spiritual power.
As the whirlwind receded, Deng An once again condensed a ghostly fire shield and rushed into the sea of fog. Soon, he found a relatively smooth depression. Swept by a huge whirlwind, this type of terrain is the most difficult to change and the most suitable as a reference.
When he walked out for more than ten miles and consumed more than half of his spiritual power, there was still no end to the sea of fog ahead, and Deng An had to prepare to return. Without being 100% sure, he didn't dare to take a risk, after all, there would be a yin wind out of the sea of fog, and if the underworld power was exhausted, I am afraid that he would only have the fate of soul disappearance, and if he stayed in the ruins, at least for now, he didn't have to worry about his life.
When Deng An looked around for the last time, his heart moved, and on the slightly steeper slope not far away, there seemed to be something emitting a faint red light, and he looked closer curiously, first dumbfounded, and then became ecstatic.
There is a naturally formed groove in this slope, which Deng An guesses is due to the topography of the terrain that can avoid the wind force of the cyclone, so that it can be preserved.
Of course, that's not the point of its attention. At the bottom of the groove, there were eight or nine black beads the size of soybeans, although they were pitiful, but all of them were genuine Yin Spirit Beads, and under the arch guard of the Yin Spirit Beads, a flower bloomed alone.
This flower has no stems, Deng An can only see six petals, the color of the petals is dark red, and from time to time emitting a trace of red light, forming a light mask on the periphery of the flower, its effect is similar to that of the light mask outside the ruins, which can stop the erosion of fog.
It's just that at first glance, Deng An recognized it. Ruins, patterns, wooden blocks, he realized in his heart, could it be that the falling god flower that Yin Heirong said was this one.
However, Yin Heirong is dead, and there will never be an answer again.
Deng An popped out a blue-white flame to block the mist out of the groove, and then carefully turned his palm into a blade and cut off the roots of the Falling God Flower. The reason why he didn't cut the grass and eradicate the roots was not for other meditation considerations, but more for himself, because even if he became a condensation stage meditation cultivator, the Falling Divine Flower would still be helpful for improving his cultivation.
After Deng An put the Falling God Flower into his soul body, his big hand waved again, and several Yin Spirit Beads at the root of the Falling God Flower were all put away. Although these Yin Spirit Beads are seriously depleted, the Yin Qi contained in them is still higher than that of Snow Spirit Leaves, and they can be used to replenish the spiritual power at critical moments.
Because of the delay, it was necessary to rush back to the ruins as soon as possible.
With the Falling God Flower, Deng An's next plan needs to be adjusted accordingly, perhaps, advancing in the Yin Wind Valley is a good choice. When he reaches the condensation stage, he will definitely be sure enough to get out of the Yin Wind Valley.
However, as soon as this thought flashed, he became solemn. In the direction he came, there was a loud rumbling noise, and the sound was getting closer.
"Damn whirlwind!" The formation of a whirlwind in the sea of fog has no law to speak of, and it is impossible to prevent it. The location where it appeared this time was not good news for Deng An, and he had to wait until the whirlwind had passed if he wanted to return the way he came.
During this period, Deng An must hide as far as he can, so as not to be sucked in, but in this way, he will inevitably consume a lot of spiritual power. Although he had just picked up a few Yin Spirit Beads and had corpse demon bones as a backing, he still had no bottom in his heart. In desperation, I had to find an obviously oblique position with an underground mark, and quickly floated away.
In another larger ruin, Chen Youzhi was floating in front of a stone house, cultivating while keeping an eye on his surroundings, he had been waiting here for more than a month.
Grimace hasn't come out once since he entered the stone house to recuperate.
Chen Youzhi couldn't help but be a little worried, the reason why he attracted the grimace was for self-preservation, and on the other hand, for the opportunity of the legendary advanced condensation. As with the previous visits, nothing has been found in the ruins. He had to wonder if that line of chance would be in the sea of fog, but Grimace had already explained that he didn't have the strength to cross the sea of fog, so his previous wishful thinking would come to naught.
When Chen Youzhi was thinking wildly, a figure flashed at the entrance of the stone house, and a grimace flew out of it. Seeing this, Chen Youzhi hurriedly stepped forward and gave a salute.
"Your Excellency, have you recovered?"
"Recovery, how easy is it to say!" Grimace heard this, smiled bitterly, and said: "This time it is a new injury and an old injury, and an injury is an injury, and it will not take three or five years, don't think about it." ”
"Your Excellency...... You?"
Grimace didn't answer, but took out a disc. He handed the palm astrolabe to Chen Youzhi, and said with a solemn face: "Just look at it." ”
Chen Youzhi seemed to guess the reason and hurriedly took it. But when he saw the red dot representing Deng An, his face was cloudy, and he muttered, "How is it possible! Then, he looked at the grimace and said hesitantly: "I have a question below, I don't know if to ask?"
Hearing this, the grimace did not show any change in expression on his face, and said lightly: "But it doesn't matter, what is the relationship between you and me, can't this seat believe you?"
Chen Youzhi hesitated for a moment and said, "How did the palm astrolabe lock that kid?"
Grimace was reminded, and his brows couldn't help frowning, and he said, "Indeed, it is not the meditation itself, but the jade talisman it carries. ”
Chen Youzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "With that kid's cultivation, it is impossible to get here alive, could it be that the jade talisman was swallowed into the belly by the demon beast in the sea of fog?" He didn't dare to say his other guess, that is, the jade talisman fell into the hands of the Futu Society.
Grimace obviously skipped this point, and shook his head: "I've never heard that there are demon beasts in the sea of fog, at least when I came here a few times ago, I didn't find it. ”
As early as more than ten days ago, Grimace was worried about the jade talisman falling, and took out the palm astrolabe to determine Deng An's position, what he didn't expect was that the red dot representing the position of the jade talisman was motionless, he once thought that Deng An had died in the sea of fog, and the location of the red dot was the place where his soul disappeared, because the location was not too far, he planned to try to take the jade talisman away after recovering from his injury, but when he took out the palm astrolabe just now, he found that the red dot began to move.
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and asked, "Have you discovered anything in the past few days?"
Chen Youzhi was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly understood, and hurriedly explained: "My subordinates have not found anything these days, except for the whirlwinds that appear from time to time, the sea of fog has always been calm, and no demon beasts have been found. As for the Yin Wind side, there was no Futu Society's meditation cultivation. ”
Grimace was silent for a moment, and sighed, "Let's go! I'll know in a moment, I'll see where it is." With that, he flew to the nearest light shield to the red dot, and with this light shield guarding him, he didn't worry about the meditation of the Futu Society at all. And at this moment, the red dot on the palm astrolabe is a little closer, and the result will soon be seen.
Seeing this, Chen Youzhi hurriedly followed.
It didn't take long for the two ghosts to see a huge whirlwind appear in the sea of fog, but the direction it was moving was not the light mask, but the momentum that swept over the edge of the whirlwind seemed to be able to shake the earth, making them secretly frightened.
Soon, the eyes of the two ghosts were attracted by a blue-white light cluster. The cluster of light was clearly dodging the whirlwind and was rapidly approaching the ruins they were.
Chen Youzhi saw the most unlikely scene, he didn't want to believe it for a long time, and said to himself: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How can he get here?"
Grimace had more insight than Chen Youzhi, and he saw the mystery of the blue-white shield at a glance, and said in a deep voice: "It's nothing impossible, if this guess is right, the light flame shield outside his soul body is condensed by phantom fire." ”
"Phantom Fire?!" Chen Youzhi heard the grimace's words, and repeated in a low voice, before he said with jealousy: "Why? Let this kid be able to condense the Phantom Fire." ”
Grimace frowned and asked, "Is he that Deng An?"
Chen Youzhi gritted his teeth and said, "It's him! It's him who killed Hua Ling." Because of his agitation, his soul body had begun to show signs of instability.
The grimace was not as good as how to comfort it, so he had to shake his head, and then, looking out of the mask with cold eyes, with a little curiosity, looked at Deng An, who was gradually becoming clearer.
When Deng An was dodging the whirlwind, he stumbled upon the sky in front of him to light up, and this slight change attracted his attention, so he adjusted his direction slightly and approached this side. Soon, he discovered the huge light mask, and the yin wind that existed on the opposite side of the light mask.
"Sea of Fog Border!" Almost immediately, Deng An flashed this thought, but he didn't immediately pay attention to the light mask and the ruins in the light mask.
Deng An didn't hesitate and quickly approached the light mask. Due to the spiritual power in his body, it has been difficult to support returning to the original ruins, and in the face of this sudden ruins, there is no doubt that the drowning man has encountered a life-saving straw, and he is naturally desperate to grasp it.
As the distance gradually approached, Deng An saw the outline of this ruin clearly, which was three or four times larger than the one he was in before, and there were relatively more well-preserved stone houses among them, and maybe more valuable clues could be found.
Thinking of this, his heart became more and more hot.
However, when he saw the grimace and Chen You in the light mask, it was no less than being poured a basin of ice water on his head, and he immediately became extremely sober and hurriedly stopped.
