Chapter 52: The Mysterious Valley in the Maze
Chu Xiufeng's female disciples thanked Xiao Fan, and they all looked at him with sparkling eyes. Xiao Fan smiled in return, didn't say anything superfluous, just reminded them to be careful, and then left alone.
"Senior Sister, Senior Brother Xiao is really special. When he entered the sect, it was said that he had peerless talent, but later he found out that he had a void martial soul, a low-level martial soul, limited potential, and all veins pushed him out. However, the strength that Senior Brother Xiao showed just now proved that he did have peerless talent, and he didn't expect that the sect master and others would also lose their eyes. ”
"Yes, Senior Brother Xiao is clearly only the cultivation of the Martial Artist Realm, although it was a surprise attack before, but he killed the elite disciples of the Divine Fist Peak Houtian Realm Double Heaven with one sword. Even the elite disciple of the Acquired Realm Triple Heaven was killed by him in a head-to-head battle. That elite disciple's arm bones and shoulder bones just now were shattered into slag, which shows how domineering the power of that punch was!"
Chu Xiufeng's elite disciple said, with a thick look of surprise in his eyes.
"Ahh I heard that the ancestor of Wuwei Peak was able to easily defeat the strong with the strength of the Nine Folds Collapse back then. ”
A female disciple said.
Chu Xiufeng's elite disciple nodded, then shook his head again, and said, "It stands to reason that it shouldn't be possible. The Ninefold Collapse Strength has been inherited from the Wuwei Peak Patriarch, and only one person has barely cultivated to the third level for thousands of years. Uncle Tian is a contemporary peak master, and he can only cultivate this martial art to the second level in the past two hundred years. It can be seen that except for the Wuwei Peak Patriarch, it is difficult for the rest of the people to achieve such martial arts. Senior Brother Xiao has only been in the business for a few months, how can he refine this kind of martial art. ”
"However, if Senior Brother Xiao hadn't exerted the Ninefold Collapse Strength just now, how could he have abolished the elite disciples of the Acquired Realm Triple Heaven with one punch, and still in the case of hard shock, the Iron Arm Divine Fist of the Divine Fist Peak was already fierce and domineering. ”
Several inner disciples expressed their incomprehension.
"yes, it doesn't make sense. This Senior Brother Xiao is really special, and it's a bit mysterious. What kind of person is he?"
Chu Xiufeng's elite disciple muttered, looking at the direction in which Xiao Fan disappeared, and was in a daze for a while. After a long while, she came back to her senses, glanced at each of the inner disciples, and said, "You remember, it was Senior Brother Xiao who saved our lives today, if he hadn't made a move, what would have happened if we fell into the hands of those people, you should know very well in your hearts." Therefore, regarding how Senior Brother Xiao killed the two elite disciples of the Divine Fist Peak, except for the peak master, he was not allowed to divulge half a point to outsiders. ”
"Yes, Senior Sister, we know what to say and what not to say. Senior sister, please rest assured, we will definitely not cause trouble for Senior Brother Xiao. ”
The eight inner disciples said in unison.
"Well, let's go, we can't stay here any longer. If a disciple of any lineage happens to come here and sees the corpse of a disciple of the Divine Fist Peak, we will be in trouble at that time. ”
The elite disciple walked to the corpse of the elite disciple of Shenquan Peak as he spoke, opened their storage rings, and included all the demon beast resources in them into his storage rings, and then quickly left with the corpses of the women and the dead inner disciple.
At this time, Xiao Fan was already far away from there, he chose the direction and ran all the way towards the valley where the wolves lived. Previously, Xiao Fan only took away the tokens of the elite disciples of Shenquan Peak, and did not take away their demon beast resources, and deliberately left them to Chu Xiufeng's disciples.
For Xiao Fan, there was no need for him to collect those demon beast resources at all. As long as there are sect tokens, it is very easy to accumulate demon beast resources. Leaving it to Chu Xiufeng is to let Chu Xiufeng enter the top three.
Of course, the first place Xiao Fan is determined to win, and the second and third he hopes to be Chu Xiufeng and Cihang Peak. For the other three veins, Xiao Fan didn't have a good impression of them, and was even very hostile.
At the time of the third watch, the forest was quiet, only the sound of insects continued. Xiao Fan came to the valley again, and stared at it, it was only about five hundred meters away from the valley.
However, when Xiao Fan walked towards the valley, he noticed an abnormality. After walking for a full quarter of an hour, it still looked like they were about five hundred meters apart.
"Something is wrong, there's something wrong here. ”
Xiao Fan stopped and looked around carefully, but he couldn't see anything wrong, everything here was no different from other places.
"What's the problem? This area is a maze at all. ”
Xiao Fan secretly said in his heart, then closed his eyes, let himself enter a state of emptiness, and soon his heart became one with God, and God and nature merged.
When he opened his eyes, everything was different. He felt like he was standing on a pinnacle looking down on the earth. The surrounding trees are also arranged in different shapes, like wisps of magnified formations.
"Sure enough!"
A smile appeared in Xiao Fan's eyes, and the big trees were arranged in formation, clearly appearing in his eyes. Xiao Fan walked through the gaps in those formations, and soon reached the front of the valley.
Along the way, Xiao Fan saw some decaying bones, which were left by humans. It shows that someone once strayed into this maze and couldn't get out of it in the end. Some of the bones are intact, while others are mutilated, and there are tooth marks on them, which should have been torn alive by the wolves.
Xiao Fan stood at the entrance of the valley and did not enter it immediately. He had doubts in his heart, this place was located in the depths of the forest, and no one walked around all year round, how could there be such an ecstasy array?
The Ecstasy Array is very clever, and it can't see any flaws at all, but it seems to be naturally formed. However, Xiao Fan knew that the Dao was by no means naturally formed, and all the formations were artificially arranged, and it was impossible to form them automatically.
"Fortunately, I was able to enter a state of emptiness and merge with nature while I was in a deep maze, otherwise I would have been trapped here. ”
Xiao Fan muttered to himself softly, looking at the entrance of the valley, there was only a passage about two feet wide. The passage is long and narrow, and the scene in the valley cannot be seen. But in the silence of the night, he could hear the wolves breathing.
Xiao Fan stepped forward and walked cautiously into the valley, and after turning a few corners, a fishy smell came. Through the dim moonlight, he saw bloody and white pictures.
The valley was littered with white skeletons and torn beast corpses, and the big gray wolves were prostrate on the ground, sleeping soundly, and only a few wolves patrolled the valley.
This valley is not small, there are hundreds of meters in circumference, there are caves in all sides of the valley, and there is a waterfall in the innermost part that hits down and splashes in the pool.
Xiao Fan hid behind a large rock and looked at the valley carefully, and saw an unusual place by the waterfall in the innermost part of the valley. There was a three-foot-high stone platform with pattern-like veins on it. Due to the distance, the moonlight is dim and it is difficult to see clearly.
"There's something strange in this valley. ”
Xiao Fan said secretly in his heart. He had a hunch before entering the valley, and it was. Because to enter this valley, you must first pass through the labyrinth. This is enough to make people think that this valley is unusual, and this wolf pack is afraid that it is also different from ordinary wolf packs, otherwise how can they enter and exit at will in the maze?
However, Xiao Fan found that these big bad wolves were not strong, and they were only second-order demon beasts. However, there are a lot of them, and if they attack them in groups, even a few martial cultivators of the acquired realm will not be able to bear it. If you are surrounded by it, there is no way to live.
Before this, Xiao Fan didn't expect the wolves in the valley to be so huge, looking at the gray wolves crawling on the ground, there were at least hundreds, such a huge wolf pack was really a little scary.
"It seems that hunting wolves for resources is not going to work. ”
Xiao Fan cautiously approached the three-foot-high stone platform, intending to take a closer look, and then left here to hunt other demon beasts in the forest.
Finally, Xiao Fan approached the stone platform, which was only a few tens of meters away, and this time he clearly saw what was carved on the stone platform. It was a strand of lines, connected together to form an ancient sigil, also like an ancient script, but it was difficult to discern.
"Is this the ancient altar recorded in ancient books?"
Xiao Fan was shocked, and his gaze fell on the center of the stone platform. There is a flower the size of a basin, carved out of stone. The stone flower was stained with blood and was dark red. Dozens of meters away, Xiao Fan could feel a kind of tragedy, and a sense of sadness inexplicably rose in his heart, and his eyes were involuntarily a little moist.
"What's wrong with me?"
Xiao Fan was shocked, and reached out to touch the corner of his eye, which was a little wet.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, there was a trembling sound from the altar, and the stone flower actually glowed. Immediately afterwards, all the veins on the altar began to wriggle, and the wisps of light flickered, which alarmed all the wolves in the valley.
"Whew!"
The roar of the hundred wolves was deafening, and the whole valley shook with an astonishing sound.
"Boom!"
The sound of running in a cavern shook the ground. Xiao Fan was taken aback, stared at it, and saw a big gray wolf with a body like a cow running out of the cave. Those blood-colored eyes shone with a murderous light.
As soon as this wolf came out, all the gray wolves were prostrate on the ground and howled in a low voice, obviously it was the king of the wolf pack. Judging from the aura of this wolf king, Xiao Fan felt that it was at least a fourth-order demon beast, equivalent to the strength of a martial cultivator's innate realm.
At this time, wisps of light radiated from the cave where the wolf king had left before, which made Xiao Fan stunned for a moment, and then he was happy. There is a flickering light in the wolf king's cave, which is likely to be the demon crystal of the hunted demon beast.
While the wolf king left and the wolves' attention was on the altar, Xiao Fan quietly sneaked over and entered the wolf king's cave.
The wolf king's cave is not guarded by gray wolves, only two wolf cubs waiting to be fed. In the deepest part of the cavern, where the light flickered, fist-sized demon beast crystal nuclei piled up on a pile the size of a table.
