Chapter Twenty-Four: Swaggering Mountain, Swaying the Earth

Immortal Sect outside the sky, 100,000 mountains, swagger mountain.

It is not like the mountains outside the sky, the peaks stretch, and the only peak of this mountain.

"Ancient Chronicle" records that Zhaoyao Mountain is not in the south, but is located in the East China Sea, and there are cultivators in the Immortal Sect outside the sky who use this mountain to prove immortality, so the mountain comes out of the North Sea, flutters thousands of miles, and descends here.

Zhaoyao Mountain has a secret place of trial called Fuyao, which is rumored to be not a thing in the south, but originated in the East China Sea.

At this moment, Jiao Xu was staggering in the Fuyao Secret Land, the endless desert as far as the eye could see, he had been walking for eight days, not that he didn't want to fly the flying sword in a dashing manner, but that there was an incomparably powerful pressure in the air here, making it almost impossible for the sword to fly.

There is a teleportation array in Tianwai Mountain, and when the mission information in the token is triggered at the bottom of the mountain, they are directly teleported to Zhaoyao Mountain.

Then, the senior brother of Zhaoyao Mountain sent them here, and together with the monks of Zhaoyao Mountain, most of these monks were in the middle of Qi cultivation, and some of them had a strong aura, giving Jiao Xu a faint danger.

These people exist in the late stage of Qi training, after all, the foundation is not allowed to appear in the Fuyao Ground, and this matter is absolute, as if it is a rule.

However, after entering Fuyao, everyone was separated, Jiao Xu didn't see Liu Zimo and the others, didn't see the Zhaoyao Mountain monks who came in together, and didn't see a living thing.

How could a secret place originating from the East China Sea be a vast desert? He had doubts about the rumors he heard inside the Qi Cultivation Peak.

Moreover, the senior brother who had gone through the trial here revealed that there was no desert here, and everything made Jiao Xu's doubts deeper and deeper.

On the first day, the freshness of the first trial made him energetic and steadfast with firm steps and went straight ahead, even though there was a long yellow sand all around.

On the third day, he began to slack, the scorching sun, the vast desert was endless, the confidence of the first trial was long gone, and he didn't know if he was spinning or not, and whether the front was still ahead.

On the fourth day, Jiao Xu walked mechanically, and at this moment his face was pale and his eyes were blank. Some miss Xiao Ke's terrifying sense of direction, if he can do the same, maybe he can get out.

Day 5 & 6...... Until the eighth day, in the whole world, he was the only living thing, and the loneliness made his eyes more and more blank, and loneliness was like a big mouth that would swallow him at any time.

His lips were chapped at the moment, and the huge amount of evaporation in the desert had depleted the water in the storage bag for a month three days ago, and he still didn't see the end.

It's no wonder that this Secret Trials is different from the others, you don't need to find a certain herb, you don't need to complete a certain act, you just need to survive in the secret place for a month.

Not to mention a month, Jiao Xu doubts whether he can get by Today, compared to Jiao Yuqing, who has completed two trials, and Meow, who has completed one trial, he is still too weak.

The wind and sand in his ears were still whistling, hitting his face like a knife, making Jiao Xu's already withered face crack.

There was no lifeless silence around him, and although his steps never stopped, his body trembled violently, showing the extreme fear in his heart, the loneliness of being alone, the howling wind and sand, making him seem to hallucinate, and one figure after another flashed before his eyes.

His father's disappointment when he heard that he had given up his studies, his mother's nagging of cold and warmth, his sister's domineering and direct maintenance, and Qingying with a long sword in his hand......

Everything made his caution more and more trance-like, and he didn't even know if his steps had stopped at this moment. Until...... In front of his eyes, a lake appeared, the sparkling green, in the sun, exuding a seductive light.

Jiao Xu was numb, he knew that everything was just an illusion. The lake drew closer and closer to him until it appeared at his feet. He looked down, the wind rippled across the lake, and he saw his own reflection and a head.

The head was huge, with a hideous face, pouring blood, and its pitch-black fangs were exposed in the water, and the lake water flowed through it, and it gave birth to black lines. Suddenly, the fist-sized eyes of the skull blinked, and the bloody mouth suddenly opened, and with a bang, it broke through the water, just like Jiao Xu swallowed.

The body of the skull appeared on the surface of the water, the body covered with scales, and the tail several feet long, and between the flicks, there was a storm. This thing turned out to be a giant crocodile.

Jiao Xu's eyes flashed, as if there was vitality in an instant, this lake is real, the reflection is real, and this giant crocodile is also real.

The long knife appeared in his hand in an instant, Jiao Xu's whole person soared up, his body exceeded his head, and he stepped down on the face of the giant crocodile, his whole body spiritual power surged, and the tips of his toes broke through the void, and there was a cracking sound.

Syllable...... With one foot, a huge roar shook all directions, the blood mouth of the giant crocodile was forced to close, and the whole body was pressed back into the water by Jiao Xu, he stood on the face of the giant crocodile, half of his white hair flew in the wind, and with a wave of the long knife, he slashed at its neck.

With a thud, the aura rolled, the long knife was sharp, and the head of the giant crocodile was cut off entirely.

It was his first kill, and it was a perfect success, although ...... The strength of the giant crocodile is very different from him, and he only cultivates about three layers of qi.

The violent roar resounded in all directions, like a storm, causing waves on the surrounding lake.

The blood flowed out, and in an instant it changed the color of the lake, but it was not blood red, but purple.

Jiao Xu's heart was shocked, and he lost his voice: "Ancient demon!"

"Ancient demons, said to be demons are not demons, not intellectual, not psychic, brutal and murderous, and their blood is purple. ”

Within a year of practicing Qi Peak, Jiao Xu stayed in the Library Pavilion for two months, and he was involved in some secrets in the cultivation world, among them, the existence of ancient demons was only occasionally mentioned in books.

It is rumored that the ancient demons are not active in the present and ancient times, and it is rare to see such existence in the modern and ancient worlds except for some special regions. However, Fuyao Land is a special area.

He looked at the purple lake, frowned, threw the giant crocodile's corpse out of the lake, took out a white pill from the storage bag, and put it in the water.

The purple blood in the water seemed to be summoned by some kind of summoning and converged towards the white pill.

This Dan Pei Qingyi refining, can be used to filter foreign bodies in the water, it is said that they drank poisonous water last time, so this time not only brought enough water for a month, Pei Qingyi also refined a lot of such pills.

In a few moments, all the foreign objects in the lake disappeared, and the entire water surface was extremely clear, even beyond before.

Jiao Xu was overjoyed, his whole head was stretched into the lake water, and he swallowed it in a big gulp, and the lake water flowed into Jiao Xu's stomach along his throat, and he suddenly felt a chill rise from his stomach and spread throughout his body.

He raised his head and let the lake water flow down his face, looking at the still scorching sun, although everything was the same, but there were ancient demons and lakes here, and hope was always there.

Jiao Xu took out the storage bag and entered the aura, and suddenly the water in the entire lake poured towards the storage bag, which was full of water for hundreds of days, until the lake with a radius of dozens of zhang, the water surface dropped by more than an inch, and he did not stop.

He glanced at the crystal clear surface of the lake, turned around and left, staying here for twenty-two days, maybe completing the trial without a hitch, and then teleporting out.

However, the first secret trial must not be spent so plainly. He can't be blessed by his sister for the rest of his life, he wants to become stronger, as strong as the giant python by the Luo River.

Before leaving, he cut open the center of the giant crocodile's eyebrows and took out a drop of purple blood, everything on the ancient demon's body had no special use except for being hard. Only his eyebrows and blood are the treasure of Dandao, and Jiao Xu doesn't know what kind of effect it is.

Bringing it back and handing it over to Pei Qingyi will definitely play a big role.

Jiao Xu took steps, bypassed the lake, and headed forward. The existence of the lake proves that he is at least not lost. At this moment, he suddenly remembered the poignant roar of the giant crocodile before he died, could it be some kind of signal to summon his companions?

However, until he was far from the lake, he was not attacked again, nor did he encounter any living creatures.

Despite this, with enough water, a fully stocked Bigu Dan, and an ancient demon that proved that there were living creatures in this place, his mood was cheerful.

The wind and sand are still there, the sun is still blazing, and he is looking forward to encountering the next ancient demon. It's just the strength of the ancient demon, don't be too strong.

His expectations were not in vain, and in just half an hour, he was attacked by the ancient demon. The strength of the ancient demon is still not strong, and the appearance of the fourth layer of qi cultivation is easy to kill in seconds.

Next...... As if it was really the roar of the giant crocodile, he was like a magnet, constantly attracting the attacks of the ancient demons.

Most of these ancient demons were at the fourth or fifth level of Qi cultivation, Jiao Xu could easily deal with them, his green shirt had been dyed purple, and there were purple stains on his long half-white hair, and a wave of blood began to spread on him.

This bloodshed attracted more ancient demons to attack him.

Until there was an ancient demon in the late stage of Qi training, this kind of existence was completely beyond the scope of Jiao Xu's confrontation, Jiao Xu had to flee quickly, and when he encountered the existence of the middle stage of Qi training, he couldn't waste time to kill, so that there were more and more ancient demons behind Jiao Xu, and finally reached hundreds of them.

With the accumulation of quantity, he even had to let go of the idea of stopping and desperately trying with the ancient demon in the late stage of Qi training, and he could only flee forward without his life.

The speed of the ancient demons in the late stage of qi training far exceeded that of other ancient demons, making him flee while using a flying sword to block the approaching ancient demons in the late stage of qi training.

Swallowing handfuls of pills one after another, he was not stingy, and Jiao Xu, who was funded by Jiao Yuqing and did not lack pills, faintly felt the heartache of losing the spirit stone like Yu Meow. After all, he swallowed not only the elixir, but also a handful of spirit stones.

Jiao Xu wanted to cry without tears, although there were dozens of drops of Gu Demon Eyebrows in his storage bag, but although this thing was said to be a treasure of the Dan Dao, Jiao Xu didn't know what the value was. However, the lost pill will never come back, thinking of this, there is a trace of colic in his heart, and this colic, as more pills are swallowed, but there is no Gu Demon Eyebrow's hard work, more and more intense.

It's not that the secret place of trials is full of treasures, even the last time they meowed, although they almost fell there, they still returned with a full load and picked up a lot of good things.

And now, Jiao Xu didn't feel that the dozens of drops of Gu Demon Eyebrows in the storage bag could compensate him for the loss of hundreds of pills.

The ancient demon in the late stage of qi cultivation was approaching again, and the aura on Jiao Xu's body was once again exhausted at this moment, and as a last resort, in the heartache, he swallowed a handful of pills again, clicked and chewed.

The pill went down to his stomach, and instantly turned into a trace of aura, moisturizing Jiao Xu's body.

The flying sword roared, rolling up a storm and slashing towards the ancient demon.
