Chapter 37: The Valley of the Hundred Demons
"Zhiyao, your combat strength?" As he walked forward, Jun Ziqian looked at Mo Zhiyao and asked, "It's only been half a year since you were kidnapped by that three-hearted Xuanhu, how can there be such a big improvement?"
"It was only when the two of us joined forces to fight against the blue-eyed winged lizard that I gathered my energy. After getting the condensation of Yuehua, he condensed three human patterns and was promoted to the Spirit Transformation Realm, I thought I could surpass you, but I didn't expect it to be worse and farther away from you. The astonishment in Jun Ziqian's eyes was still strong until this moment.
"That red-tailed scorpion demon just now, even if I can kill it, I will have to pay some price. But you're so easy?"
Turning his head and glancing at Jun Ziqian, Mo Zhiyao said, "I have spent four full months in the Black Lotus Mountain Range, fighting with demon beasts every day. How many times are you on the line of life and death, you are just cultivating behind closed doors, what is the use of just raising the realm?"
Mo Zhiyao's words made Jun Ziqian silent, but he suddenly realized in his heart. Greenhouse delicate flowers and wild tough grass, the vitality is far away after all.
"Uncle Shi!" Jun Ziqian took a few steps behind, walked side by side with Yu Yao, a look of determination flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Can you count me as one of the introductory trials this time?"
Yu Yao naturally heard the conversation between the two clearly, and when she heard Jun Ziqian speak like this, her eyes flashed with relief.
"After all, this is a distant experience, and if you participate, it will not be fair to others. I understand your thoughts, and when you pass the trial, I will arrange for you to do the same. Yu Yao shook her head and rejected Jun Ziqian's proposal. "The place of cultivation is everywhere, as long as you put your mind to it, you don't have to stick to the form and the venue. ”
"A hundred miles away from Sunset City, there is a wild place, which is full of monsters and beasts, and there are uncivilized and ferocious barbarians. If you do, we'll stay for another month when we get to Sunset City, and you can go there and practice. Yu Yao thought for a moment and spoke.
"Well, but it's up to Uncle Shi's arrangement. Jun Ziqian nodded and agreed to Yu Yao's proposal.
Jun Ziqian seems to be gentle on the surface, but he is extremely proud in his bones, although he and Mo Zhiyao are close friends and love like brothers, they will never be willing to fall behind Mo Zhiyao because of this.
He grew up in the North Garden of the Tianjiao League since he was a child, and he was able to enter because of a special relationship. At that time, it was just foster care, not a disciple of the North Garden of the Tianjiao League.
In that kind of environment full of demons, Jun Ziqian also suffered a lot. After more than ten years of hard work, the hardships and outsiders, coupled with their own talents, they succeeded in condensing the foundation of the Nine Patterns a few years ago. After that, he passed several trials before he really became a disciple of the North Garden of the Tianjiao League.
If he is as proud as he is, how can he be willing to be left behind?
"Uncle Shi, I want to participate in that time too. Meng Zhuxi, who was accompanying Yu Yao, also interjected. She is different from Jun Ziqian and Mo Zhiyao. When he was ten years old, he successfully condensed the nine patterns, which shocked Yuancheng at that time, and his father Mengyang was ecstatic, and he was regarded as a pearl in his palm. After that, he was taken away by the people of the North Garden of the Tianjiao League who heard the news, but because he was too young, it was not until a few years ago that he and Jun Ziqian went through the introductory trial together and successfully entered the North Garden of the Tianjiao League.
As Yuancheng Tianjiao, Meng Zhuxi is also arrogant, and naturally he is not willing to be left behind. Hearing that Yu Yao arranged for Senior Brother Junziqian to practice and sharpen, he hurriedly raised his mouth.
"Well, when the time comes, the three of you will go together, and you may have a good look for each other. Seeing that these two people were aroused by Mo Zhiyao, Yu Yao was also very happy in her heart, and of course the door was opened.
After all, the Black Lotus branch can't be compared with the main line, and the banner is only a thousand miles. Demon beasts like the red-tailed scorpion demon were already among the highest cultivators, and Mo Zhiyao and his party of four people passed through smoothly in more than ten days.
Out of the Black Lotus Branch, the four of them turned south, walked for another five days, and came to the place where Mo Zhiyao was going to conduct the second introductory trial, the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.
When the four of them arrived at the mouth of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, it was already late at night.
The empty mountains are lonely, the cold moon is like a hook, and the stars are dotted, dotting the night sky. The night breeze is deep and cold, blowing towards you, bringing a rich and suffocating fishy smell.
It's miles away from the mouth of the valley, and the unpleasant smell fills the air and makes people sick. After all, Meng Zhuxi is a girl, she is clean by nature, and at first glance, she frowned and covered her face with her jade hands. The thought of traveling through this valley with a distance of three thousand miles in a straight line, not to mention the hundred demon beasts in it, the smell alone made her feel so uncomfortable that she died.
"Far away, let me explain first. Yu Yao stood up and said to Mo Zhiyao, who turned his head: "After entering the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, you will be attacked by the demon beasts at any time, you have to protect the safety of the three of us." ”
"Unless I encounter a great demon that you absolutely cannot defeat, I will not attack. Of course, you have three chances to speak, but if you are in a desperate situation, even if you don't speak, I will do it, but you must speak once. ”
"Every day, I will give you an hour of rest, which is this time of the day. In this hour, it is up to me to resist the tide of demon beasts, and you can rest assured to recover your strength. The rest of the time, you're going to have to deal with it on your own, you know?"
Mo Zhiyao nodded, indicating that he understood. Yu Yao's arrangement is also reasonable, otherwise, with a distance of three thousand miles, fighting all the time, with Mo Zhiyao's current cultivation power, he would not be able to do it at all.
But even so, it was an extremely severe test for Mo Zhiyao. Traveling three thousand miles, protecting the three people behind him, there is only one hour of rest every day, and the requirements for heart and cultivation are extremely high. The mind is a little poor, but I am afraid that I will not be able to persevere at all, and it is really not easy to enter the North Garden of the Tianjiao League, no wonder seventy percent will be eliminated.
"Alright, get ready, we're going to go into the valley. Yu Yao looked as usual and said lightly.
Not only Mo Zhiyao, who was undergoing the trial, but even Junzi Qian and Meng Zhuxi were a little nervous, and they each calmed down, and Mo Zhiyao took the first step and walked in front of everyone.
When they were still a few miles away from the valley mouth, there were already sparse demon beasts wandering around, and when they saw the four of them, they all roared, and their eyes were filled with excitement and bloodthirsty light, and they pounced.
"Let's go!" Mo Zhiyao roared, his body arched, like a cheetah full of strength, and rushed towards those demon beasts who didn't know whether they were alive or dead.
Yu Yao and the three of them hurriedly followed, following closely behind.
"Pong!Pong!Pong!. The thunderous sound sounded at the same time as the terrible screams of the demon beast. Mo Zhiyao was like a wisp of black smoke, killing all the demon beasts that dared to approach. And all of them are killed with one punch, leaving no room for error.
In a few breaths, the four of them all rushed into the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.
"Roar!" a beast roar resounded through the sky, and under the transmission of the night wind, it spread far away, and even reverberated in the valley with shocking echoes.
As far as the eye could see, all kinds of hideous demon beasts of different shapes and shapes were surging like a tide, surrounding the four of them. The roar with a very different voice makes people feel terrified.
Mo Zhiyao completely let go of his breath, his eyes were like blood, and a dazzling red glow appeared in the night, and the rich murderous aura around his body instantly dispersed, and at the same time, he exerted the phantom body method to the limit, revolving around the three of Jun Ziqian, and blocking the attacking demon beasts from the three of them.
The strong wind passed, and all the demon beasts that were hit by Mo Zhiyao, without exception, were all splashed with blood and thrown away, and when they landed, they had become a cold corpse, trampled under the feet of the demon beasts that followed, and instantly turned into minced meat.
Mo Zhiyao did not turn in circles on the spot, but kept moving forward at the same time, and the three of them were also extremely cooperative to follow Mo Zhiyao's speed.
The three of them are very close to each other, and it is also convenient for Mo to protect them.
"Roar!" A deafening beast roar sounded, and a python-tailed fire ape, which was so large that it was three or four times the size of an ordinary person, rushed to the front of several people. A pair of huge arms that were so thick that ordinary people wrapped their arms raised them, interlocked their fingers, and smashed down towards Mo Zhiyao's head, and at the same time, the python tail behind him attacked Mo Zhiyao's waist and abdomen from a tricky angle. The python's mouth is wide open, the snake is spitting, the sharp teeth reflect the moonlight, and the cold light is shining.
"Look for death!" Mo Zhiyao was not afraid at all, his right fist rose into the sky, and slammed into the fists of the python-tailed fire ape, and at the same time, his left leg was like a whip, aiming at the python's tail that was devouring wildly.
"Bang!" In the surprised eyes of Jun Ziqian and the others, Mo Zhiyao smashed the python-tailed fire ape's double-fist attack with one punch, and at the same time whipped his leg on the head of the python's tail.
Sharp and low screams sounded at the same time, the fire ape was screaming in pain, and the python head on the tail was cut off by Mo Zhiyao in the terrible scream! Mo Zhiyao's body followed up, and a punch slammed into the fire ape's abdomen, and there were three muffled sounds in succession, and the blood in the fire ape's mouth gushed like a spring, and the mountain-like body fell backwards, crushing several smaller demon beasts.
Mo Zhiyao acted like the wind, and after a blow, he didn't stop, and then rushed to the other side, kicking the three demon wolves that pounced on Meng Zhuxi. In this chaotic situation, as long as you lie down, don't think about getting up again, you can only be reduced to pulp.
With the power of one leg, Mo Zhiyao rushed to Yu Yao's body, and his body fell, landing on the back of a six-legged scythe, his palms flexed into claws, cut into his neck, and his arms exerted force, twisting his head hard.
The rabbit fell and fell, and Mo Zhiyao tossed and turned on the side of the three people, bringing up the afterimage of the Dao, and the speed was so fast that it was dazzling. There was unconcealed horror in the eyes of the three of them, and the speed and combat power shown by Mo Zhiyao far exceeded their expectations.
"Senior Brother Ziqian, is Zhiyao really only fourteen years old?" Meng Zhuxi asked Xiang Junqian with shocked eyes.
"Well, not only that, but it was only at the age of twelve that he succeeded in condensing the first human pattern. It was only two years since he actually started practicing. Compared to him, we are nothing at all, and we are the real demons at a distance. Jun Ziqian made no secret of his admiration and appreciation for Mo Zhiyao.
"It's only been two years!" Not only Meng Zhuxi, but even Yu Yao was shocked. Yu Yao didn't ask Jun Ziqian about Mo Zhiyao in detail before, only because Mo Zhiyao had reached the entry conditions of the Nine Patterns Foundation and had Jun Ziqian's recommendation, he would make an appointment to meet Mo Zhiyao.
"Ziqian, Zhiyao has only been cultivating for two years, and he is now a cultivator of the Spirit Transformation Realm!" Yu Yao looked at Jun Ziqian and said with a solemn face.
