Chapter 142: The Great Test of the Inner Gate: Escape
Nangong Quan's idea came out and directly provoked Xiaohong, the beast tide is something that all low-level monks don't want to encounter, for them, they will definitely die if they fall into the beast tide, the crazy spirit beast can be called a monster, and the skill has increased greatly to kill the monk, so far there are not a few monks who have died from the claws and fangs of the beast tide.
This is just the beast tide of low-level spirit beasts, and whether some beast tide Jindan stage monks can save their lives is a question. However, Nangong Quan proposed to enter the beast tide and use it to cover the retreat, escaping from the other contestants who were hiding in the dark and waiting for an opportunity. It makes sense to use the beast tide to retreat, and there shouldn't be a few monks who want to continue tracking at this time, and even if they want to, they will be exposed.
But the biggest problem is how not to be harmed by the beast tide. Nangong Quan took out some soil: "These are the spiritual soil of the Spirit Beast Peak, which was left by the two-headed wolf predecessors." β
"Two-headed wolf senior, why haven't I heard you say it?" Qin Feng asked. "The two-headed wolf predecessor once guarded Xiao Hei, and it is also the guardian spirit beast of Hengshan, and now it should return to Shushan, I heard that it is still the town spirit beast of Shushan, and it should be retreated with the master. The strength of this senior is unfathomable, these spiritual soils are infected with its breath, and we should not be attacked by the beast tide when we apply it to the body, because the number of spirit beasts in Shushan is the most powerful, even if the beast tide makes the spirit beast lose its mind, the most heartfelt awe should not disappear. β
The others nodded in agreement, indicating that it made sense. Xiaohong protested: "I don't want to apply this, don't think I don't know, it's mud soaked in its urine, they don't know, don't think they can hide it from me." What's more, it has been away from Shushan for more than two hundred years, who knows that the spirit beasts still don't respect it in their hearts, or you can try this one?"
Nangong Quan was a little embarrassed, although Xiaohong was against him, what she said was not unreasonable, these kinds of Xiaolu's remaining soil, I don't know if it can resist the invasion of the beast tide. Without saying a word, Aotian grabbed a handful of dirt and wiped it on his face, then took his sword and fell straight down.
During the fall, his beautiful silver-white hair floated straight up because of inertia, and he did not have a trace of fear in the face of the black and oppressive beast tide below, and his confident smile hung on the corner of his mouth. He was born in the dragon clan, and his physical strength was not comparable to these ordinary spirit beasts. Even if this dirt didn't work, the Spirit Beast Gate would attack him in groups, and he would have the confidence to retreat with his whole body.
Nangong Quan and the others waited in the air for a moment, and then saw the Aotian stepping sword slowly rising and signaling safety. Nangong Quan breathed a sigh of relief, this is also one of the topics of this trial, how to deal with emergencies such as beast tides. When the time comes, you will encounter all kinds of things when you go out of the sect, and as a disciple of Shushan, if you can't deal with it, you will laugh and be generous.
The exchange of points for the jade card will cause a lot of hatred points, so everyone redivides it, or according to the strength, so that even if any group is targeted, as long as it is not eliminated, everyone can support a part.
Everyone told each other a few words, touched a handful of dirt and left, Su Xue secretly glanced at Nangong Quan a few more times before leaving, and even threw a threatening look at Ai Ning'er without concealment, but Ai Ning'er ignored it as if she didn't see it.
When everyone left, Nangong Quan breathed a sigh of relief, but many questions came to his mind at this time, the first was Ai Ning'er's purpose of approaching them, and the second was Aotian's two decision-making mistakes, it stands to reason that he would not make such a mistake, the exchange of points for jade cards will cause a lot of coveting, and it will be calculated to catch up with the beast tide when ambushing others but being ambushed by others. But the world is impermanent, no one can say that they can 100% predict what will happen next, and Qin Feng resigned from the "Wind and Snow Day" boss because of this, which looks completely like he deliberately resigned, and everyone recommended him to sit in this position, as well as Su Xue's threatening words that did not change his face, this is not at all like what a foundation building monk dares to say, and there is a hint of madness hidden in his words.
So many things happened in a short period of time that Nangong Quan couldn't keep up, his ability to accept was a little weak, and this short half-day incident made him a little unable to see through other people, Ming Ming and Ming got along for nearly ten years, but if you think about it carefully, he doesn't understand them, and he doesn't understand their thoughts.
But after thinking about it, although everyone comes from different backgrounds and has different ideas, they always support each other and fight with each other, and walk the road of cultivating immortals together. But then I thought about it, they were completely walking with their own oil bottles, and now the gap is getting bigger and bigger, and I don't know how long they can take themselves.
Nangong Quan thought about these questions while thinking about it, although he didn't understand it very well, but he didn't have too much depression in his heart. Ai Ning'er followed behind him and said coldly: "I'm about to enter the beast tide, you and I will share a sword." β
Nangong Quan was shocked, he didn't expect Ai Ning'er to take the initiative to talk to him, and then he remembered the embarrassing scene of sharing a sword with Su Xue, and his face turned a little red: "No need, my spiritual power is enough to support my sword to survive the beast tide." Ai Ning'er wanted to speak and stopped, her face was still cold, like ice.
Just got out of the forest Nangong Quan felt in danger, the smell of spirit beasts mixed with the smell of blood was a little pungent, and the roar in the sky was deafening and made Nangong's whole head bigger, as Nangong Quan and Ai Ning'er entered, the beast tide gradually deviated from them to form a gap, obviously afraid of their breath, but occasionally there were spirit beasts that were carried away by the beast nature and rushed into them, there were all kinds of spirit insects in the air with teeth and claws, screaming strangely, buzzing noisy people with headaches, manic beast tides, each spirit beast was manic, only killing was bent on killing, and even the spirit rabbit would bite when it saw peopleγ
But the purpose of Nangong Quan and Ai Ning'er is to transfer the location, generally speaking, not many people will move during this beast tide, and the beast tide usually lasts for two hours. They must flee from those who are secretly targeting them within these two hours.
Two hours passed quickly, Nangong Quan and Ai Ning'er spun around in the forest like headless flies, he didn't know how far his imperial sword flew, but only about half of Nangong Quan's spiritual power was left for more than an hour, and just as he was crumbling, Ai Ning'er held his arm: "Don't force it." β
Nangong Quan's face was a little pale, but his spiritual power was limited, so he stepped on Ai Ning'er's crystal sword, and the moment he stepped on it, he regretted it, the feeling of spiritual power stagnation suppressed Nangong Quan, there was originally King Ming's method of breaking the prison to make Nangong Quan's ability to absorb spiritual power increase, but I don't know what method Ai Ning'er used to make herself so unbearable.
Nangong Quan endured the cold, but the hand that grabbed Ai Ning'er's shoulder still couldn't help trembling, Ai Ning'er didn't fly fast under the cover of the beast tide, she seemed to feel Nangong Quan's strangeness, and the corners of her mouth hooked: "Are you still so afraid of the cold?" Nangong Quan was so frozen that his head was not bright: "Ah? What did you just say? I didn't hear clearly." Waiting for his silence, he didn't have the heart to ask any more, concentrating on the operation of the fire palm's exercises, and the fire spiritual power in the dantian warmed the "frozen" body like a small fire point.
Ai Ning'er slowed down very carelessly, at this time the beast tide was almost over, and many spirit beasts had regained their senses, thinking that the top of the black pressure could also be gradually clarified, but unexpectedly, the sky was full of dark clouds, and it seemed that it was going to rain. Nangong thought to himself, let's go down, wash this forest with the corpses of spirit beasts, wash away these smells, wash away these residual blood.
In a moment, the beast tide ended, and the herd of spirit beasts gradually disappeared, Ai Ning'er came down to find a secluded mountain wall and carved out a space where the two of them could rest. Nangong Quan immediately stayed away from Ai Ning'er and meditated to recover his spiritual power. Ai Ning'er didn't say anything, took a few spirit stones, and absorbed the spiritual power in them.
The sound of the rain outside pulled Nangong Quan's thoughts back to reality, and when he turned his head and saw Ai Ning'er still meditating with his eyes closed, Nangong Quan didn't bother, he quietly looked at this hidden woman, with a standard goose egg face, slender eyelashes, delicate facial features, proud figure, convex and backward, she is the goddess in the heart of every otaku, and what is even more infuriating is that the big man of one meter eight is a head taller than Nangong Quan, if you want to talk about appearance, she is definitely above Su Xue, with a cold temperament, and a standard cold mountain beauty.
Nangong Quan shook his head suddenly, no, senior sister is the most beautiful, no one in this world can compare with senior sister. Ai Ning'er seemed to notice Nangong Quan's abnormal movements: "See what I'm doing, and the spiritual power has recovered?"
Nangong Quan shifted his gaze: "No." The two returned to silence.
After a while, Nangong Quan gritted his teeth: "I want to talk to you well." Ai Ning'er paused: "Hmm." β
Nangong Quan: "I have some questions. β
Ai Ning'er cherished words like gold: "Say." β
Nangong Quan: "At that time, you should have found the gap between you and me when you tried to cultivate immortals, but why didn't you show mercy to your subordinates? Even if your subordinates were merciful, it was enough to defeat me." β
"Immortal cultivators, strength is respected, the winner is the king, and the loser is the villain, and it is natural to use all your strength in the competition. β
Nangong Quan gritted his teeth: "Then it won't kill me." Ai Ning'er: "This world is so cruel, what can you do if I want to kill you." β
Nangong Quan was surprised: "Why do you want to kill me? Ai Ning'er paused for a moment: "Because you are like him." β
Nangong Quan was surprised again: "Who? You hate him so much? As soon as you meet, you want to put people to death? Is it a negative man?"
Ai Ning'er opened her eyes, and there was a smile on her cold face, no wonder there were so many people around you, and then the smile disappeared: "Heaven and earth are unkind, using all things as dogs, and immortal cultivators are doing things that are against the sky, but the road is long and obstructive, and how many people have died on the road of cultivating immortals due to natural disasters and man-made disasters." He is no exception. β
Nangong didn't dare to answer, it seemed that he in Ai Ning'er's mouth had a very heavy meaning to her, otherwise she would not have said such a rebellious thing. Although Nangong Quan didn't have a master to teach him the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, he had read so many books, all of which said that the way of heaven nourishes the world and nourishes all things, conforms to the way of heaven, achieves the Great Dao, and protects all sentient beings. Although he said that his cultivation was to protect his family, he would also do things in the future to protect all living beings. The North Ice Plain is also a righteous path, how could any disciple say such a thing? Nangong was completely puzzled.
Ai Ning'er paused for a long time, and her thoughts were pulled into the distance......
