"Huh......" Zhou Yue leaned on a towering tree and breathed a sigh of relief.

His good fortune had long since come to an end after passing through the blizzard area, and along the way, he and the bell were almost killed in one step, and there were more Shattered Realm monks in the way than he could have imagined.

The Shattered Annihilation Realm is the cultivation level that is most prone to bottlenecks, because many people have not condensed enough stable Dan Patterns when they are at the peak of the Jindan Realm, so when they step into the Shattered Annihilation Realm, they have embarked on a fork in the road from the very beginning - a road of no return that will never reach the Yuan Infant Realm.

This phenomenon is especially obvious in the case of scattered cultivators, about forty percent of the scattered cultivators are doomed to be unable to condense the Yuan Infant the moment they break through the Shattered Annihilation Realm, unless they are willing to overturn and start over, and rewind their cultivation to the Jindan Realm and cultivate again.

Because of this, coupled with the fact that the lifespan is longer than that of the Jindan Realm, the monks of the Shattered Annihilation Realm are almost equal to the total number of monks in the Jindan Realm, which is also the only level that violates the law of 'the higher the level, the fewer the number of people'.

Of course, these monks who have been stuck in the Shattered Annihilation Realm all their lives are of course unwilling to just wait for the longevity to run out, and the more courageous monks will directly re-condense the Dan on the spot, risking the risk of dispersing their entire cultivation to return to the Jindan Realm to cultivate again, while some timid monks will naturally choose to find another way.

It's just that the way they find another way often hinders other cultivators who are cultivating normally.

For example, falling into a flying thief is a common fate for Shattered Realm cultivators, they have no hope of breaking through, and they always can't catch up with the adventure, so they have to try to obtain cultivation resources by blocking the road and cutting the path, hoping that one day a miracle will appear.

Since the news of Ice Tree Heart spread in the Settlement Fang, the number of flying thieves in ambush in the area of the Black Fierce Mountain Range has increased day by day, and at this time it has almost reached the point of three steps and one sentry.

Zhou Yue can encounter a wave of flying thieves every time he flies, although most of the flying thieves will be frightened away by the dragon aura on his body, but there are always a few blind guys. He had to challenge the authority of the dragon monks.

By the time Zhou Yue crossed the second small dangerous place, it had been three full days since he arrived in the Wuqi Mountain Range, and during these three days, Zhou Yue had been flying and fighting almost continuously, and even if he was injured, he had only repaired it a little with fog and rain, and at this time his body was already covered with all kinds of fine scars, which looked a little stronger.

In front of you is a third small danger. It's a special kind of illusion that looks like a normal safe area on weekdays, but once a monk steps into it, he will be bewitched by illusions, and it has been hundreds of years since the first monk recorded the properties of this place, and in those hundreds of years, no one has been able to figure out what exactly is casting illusions.

Zhou Yue thought in his heart, the situation in this dangerous place in front of him was special, and it sounded like a phantom array arranged by a human monk.

Generally speaking, the difference between illusions and illusions is in range, and illusions can affect a large area. Illusions, on the other hand, can only affect one or two monks.

Naturally formed is generally an illusion, because the formation of a special environment is related to the local spiritual veins, and generally speaking, there should be a large range, not a single spell.

The illusion has no direction, as long as the monk steps into the range of the illusion, it will produce an illusion, so it is easy to detect, while the illusion is only cast on a certain target, and the power is concentrated. But it's hard to hit the target, if it's a naturally occurring illusion. If you miss a single step, you won't fall into the illusion.

However, according to the description on the map, the dangerous place in front of him turned out to be the type that waited for the monk to enter, and then used illusions to attack. Although it is no different from the illusion in terms of effect, it is just a fantasy with relatively concentrated power, but in essence, this mode of waiting for the monk to enter and then casting a spell is very much like a counterattack by some living being.

Zhou Yue's heart moved. In this case, the most reasonable explanation is that there is a very powerful Shattered Destruction Realm Heavenly Material Earth Treasure here, and that Heavenly Material Earth Treasure will use illusions to attack past monks.

Of course, this situation is more than ninety percent similar to the phantom array arranged by human monks, in order to save true qi and reduce the load of operation. Usually the mode of waiting for the monk to enter and then automatically casting illusions on the monks who entered, after all, these formations are not supported by spiritual veins, and it is too wasteful to arrange them into illusion formations that can be operated at any time, and only a very small number of illusion arrays arranged for special purposes have the ability to support illusions.

"Alone?"

Just as Zhou Yue was staring at the empty space in front of him and pondering, a horse-faced monk with slender limbs came up, and the horse-faced monk did not hide his breath, and he stopped at a position ten zhang away from Zhou Yue, and bowed very measuredly.

Zhou Yue couldn't help but nodded, most of the monks who came over along the way were flying thieves, most of them were discovered by Zhou Yue on the way to hide, and a few of them with flexible minds would approach Zhou Yue for various reasons before carrying out a sneak attack, and the horse-faced monk in front of him was the most normal person Zhou Yue had seen along the way.

"In the Lower Northland Ape Clan, Hong Cong!" the horse-faced monk performed a standard Great Wilderness etiquette and said with a smile: "This fellow Daoist of the Dragon Clan, it's not an easy thing to come here on your own, right?"

Zhou Yue smiled and nodded, he looked the horse-faced monk up and down, and saw that the latter was a monk of the first layer of the Shattered Destruction Realm like him, and immediately said softly: "It seems that Daoist friends have also been tossed by some troublesome Cutting Path strongmen. ”

"Isn't it?" the horse-faced monk Hong Cong scratched his sideburns vigorously, and said depressedly: "I haven't rested on this way, and this is the first time I've seen a monk who didn't rush up below." ”

Zhou Yue couldn't help but smile and said, "So you're going to find a companion?"

"Yes!"

This monk of the Northland Ape Clan was simply, Zhou Yue's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "I heard that the Northland Ape Clan has sent a team to take the Ice Tree Heart, and Daoist friends didn't come with them?"

"Huh, Ice Tree Heart?" The horse-faced monk Hong Cong was stunned when he heard this, and then suddenly realized: "I said that where did so many monks from the Shattered Destruction Realm come from this Black Fierce Mountain Range, it turned out to be Ice Tree Heart!"

Zhou Yue raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh?

Hong Cong scratched his hair vigorously and said in distress: "I have been cultivating here a few months ago, so naturally I don't know the news of the existence of Ice Tree Heart. It's never been so troublesome to make a detour all the way from the east, and who knew that I was just going to continue to advance into the interior of the Wuyan Mountains to catch up with this kind of thing. ”

Zhou Yue had already believed seven or eight points in his heart when he heard this, and there was no doubt that the horse-faced monk in front of him exuded an aura of the ape clan, and the station of the Northland ape clan was indeed located in the east of the Wuyan Mountain Range.

The environment of the Great Wilderness Northland is more water-oriented, so most of the big clans who chose this place as their station have the bloodline of water-attribute demons, and the fact that these clans can be named 'Northland' shows that they control more than one area in the northern part of the Great Wilderness.

Of course, this does not mean that these clans in the north are much stronger than those big clans in the south, like the Yan clan in the north, although they are stronger than the Baixi Water tribe, they are also very limited.

Among the clans named after the Northland, the most famous are naturally the Northland Yan Clan, the Northland Turtle Clan, and the Northland Ape Clan. These three clans are all powerful clans, and it is certain that there are powerful Void Realm masters in their stations, while some other clans are not sure if there are Void Realm cultivators.

"The ape clan also sent a monk who came to take the heart of the ice tree?" Hong Cong saw that Zhou Yue was silent for a long time, and immediately scratched his chin vigorously, and said eagerly: "Daoist friends, do you have any news about the monk sent by the Northland Ape Clan this time?"

"It's not clear what the apes are doing. Zhou Yue shook his head, and then said: "This place is close to the Gulin area, if you ask the Yan clan what the reaction is, maybe I can answer some, the ape clan is too far away from here, and you don't know if you ask me." ”

"Forget it, that fellow Daoist, do you want to act with Zaixia?" Hong Cong generously showed a smile at Zhou Yue, and said bluntly: "The heart of the ice tree is in the world, and thousands of shatters are gathered, how can you not go to find out about such a grand occasion?"

Zhou Yue smiled lightly, this monk of the ape clan was indeed as written on the map, anxious but thoughtful, bold but cautious, he nodded, and said with a smile: "It is indeed too difficult to cross the Wuyang Mountain Range alone, so according to what Daoyou said, let's go to the hinterland of the Wuyang Mountain Range together." ”

The two glanced at each other, and together they rose into the air and stepped into the dangerous place in front of them.

......

......

"Poof!"

In the dim stone room, Qingxun sat cross-legged, he wiped the blood left in the corners of his mouth, and looked at his dantian with a gloomy face, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this moment, there was a crisp knock on the door outside the stone room, and the youth training opened the closed stone door and said lightly: "How?

The thick-eyebrow woman came in and said uncertainly, "I heard that there is an ice tree heart in the Wuyang Mountain Range recently, and I am going to go and explore it...... Maybe the person the senior is looking for will also go. ”

"Shattered Annihilation Realm...... Qingxun frowned, and muttered: "It's indeed possible, it's just that, let's go with you." ”

The thick-eyebrow woman quietly glanced at the dantian of the youth training, and hesitated: "Senior, your Yuan Ying ......"

"It doesn't matter, no matter how weak the Yuanying Monk is, it can't be shaken by just a few shatters. The youth training chief sighed, shook his head helplessly, and said: "Compared to the injuries on my body, I am more worried about not finding that kid......"

"Or, by the time I found him, the one in him was mostly recovered. Qingxun shook his head again, as if to shake his ominous speculation out of his mind, he turned his gaze back to the thick-eyebrow woman in front of him, and asked, "When are you leaving?"

"Now. (To be continued.) )
