Chapter 48: White Clouds
For months, Hong Jun wandered around in the wilderness, sweeping all the way, hunting dozens of demon beasts.
However, most of the demon beasts in the Great Wilderness are not of high rank, and their strength is not strong, most of the demon beasts that Hong Jun encountered are first-order and second-order, and the third-order is extremely rare, and the fourth-order has only seen one or two, but in front of the blue leech, there is only one and the part that escapes from the wilderness, and the fifth-order demon beasts like the emerald wind lizard, Hong Jun has never encountered it.
In order to find high-level demon beasts, Hong Jun went all the way south to the depths of the Great Wilderness.
The range of activities of the Lieshan clan can only be regarded as the periphery of the Great Wilderness, including Lieshan, has not entered the Great Wilderness for more than 10,000 li, Hong Jun relied on the blue leek lizard, flew straight south, and soon surpassed the Lieshan, roughly estimated to be twenty or thirty thousand miles away.
As expected, the deeper the wilderness, the more high-level demon beasts increased, making him gain a lot.
It's summer in a blink of an eye, on this day, two figures, one brown and one green, chased across the sky, and the figure behind was even larger, covered with turquoise scale armor, with wings spread out for more than five zhang, and the limbs were thick and powerful.
"I don't know what the origin of this demon beast is, its speed is not slower than that of the Blue Leech Wind Lizard, if it hadn't been for a flame slashing knife that injured its lower ribs yesterday, maybe it would have been rid of it a long time ago. Hong Jun kept staring at the fleeing demon beast in front of him, but there was no trace of anxiety on his face.
The appearance of this demon beast is like a brown tiger, with gorgeous patterns, a pair of wide wings on both sides, a pair of eagle claws on its forelimbs, a steel whip-like tail, and a body more than two zhang long, which reminds Hong Jun of a powerful wild beast recorded in a large book of animal skins in the priest's room-the Violent Tiger Vulture.
This Tyrannical Tiger Vulture was accidentally encountered by Hong Jun and was not marked on the map. In fact, Hong Jun had long since stopped looking for demon beasts according to that map, since he left Shaoyan for thousands of miles, most of the records on the map were inaccurate, nine out of ten were wrong, and his current location was long beyond the scope of the map.
At that time, the blue dragon lizard was flying in the sky, Hong Jun didn't pay attention to the situation, maybe he had unintentionally entered its territory, this violent tiger vulture suddenly came out from the bottom, like crazy, desperately attacking, and its strength was extremely strong, it was a fourth-order demon beast, the blue wind lizard was caught off guard, and almost suffered a loss.
Fortunately, Hong Jun reacted in time, and took advantage of a gap to hit it in the ribs with all his strength, hurting it and temporarily repelling.
After that, the blue wind lizard was very powerful, and soon gained the upper hand, beating the tyrant tiger vulture to the desert and fled, but the speed of the tyrant vulture was not slow, and it was extremely dexterous in the air, if it wasn't for its ribs being injured by Hong Jun, which caused the speed to drop, the blue mantis wind lizard really might not be able to catch up with it.
From yesterday to now, the tiger vulture has fled in a panic for a whole day, and the blue leek has caught up with it three times and twice, and launched an attack, but it has dodged with dexterous movements, and then shook off a short distance and continued to escape.
After all, the Tiger Vulture had multiple injuries on its body, especially the wounds under its ribs that prevented it from flying at full strength, and after a while, the distance between it and the Blue Leek Lizard was gradually narrowed again, and the difference was less than a hundred feet.
"It can't be allowed to escape again this time. ”
Hong Jun took a deep breath, clenched the long knife in his hand tightly, and with a thought, he applied a light body trick to himself to prepare for battle. 100 zhang, 80 zhang, 50 zhang, 30 zhang, 20 zhang...... Getting closer and closer, when the distance between the violent tiger vulture in front of him was only ten zhang, Hong Jun shouted violently: "It's now!"
The Blue Leek flapped its wings violently, its speed surged slightly, and in the blink of an eye, it shortened the distance by half to make the Tyrant Tiger Vulture enter its attack range, and with a mouth open, a cold breath erupted forward. At the same time, Hong Jun quickly stood up on the back of the blue leech, used its neck as a path, rushed forward, and stepped on the head with the last foot, and with a strong step, his figure turned into a gust of wind and pounced on the tyrannical tiger vulture after the cold breath of the blue leech.
The tiger vulture in front of him sensed the cold air current, and hurriedly turned to the right, but it was still a little late, and the left half of his body was rubbed a little by the cold breath, and his body suddenly stiffened, almost lost his balance, and his speed involuntarily dropped a few points.
At this moment, Hong Jun seized the opportunity, raised his long knife and jumped on the back of the Violent Tiger Vulture, without thinking about it, holding the knife with both hands and inserting it into its back with all his might.
The Tyrannical Tiger Vulture is known for its strength and speed, but its defense is not prominent, although the skin is thick and the flesh is thick, but Hong Jun has trained the Great Wilderness Burning Body to the third realm, and the strength is not small, and suddenly it bursts out with all its strength, and the long knife is like cutting tofu, and the entire blade is submerged into the body of the Tyrant Vulture, leaving only the handle exposed.
"Roar!"
"Roar ......"
Battered, the tiger vulture roared in pain, fangs and claws, and rolled desperately in the sky. Hong Jun didn't dare to let go, his right hand grabbed the handle of the knife, and stuck to the back of the tyrannical vulture, if it was thrown out, it couldn't borrow its strength in mid-air, and the tyrannical vulture could kill itself as long as it was a flutter, even if the blue cockroach was next to it, it was too late to rescue.
After struggling and rolling for dozens of breaths, the vitality of the tyrannical tiger vulture was beyond imagination, and there was no sign of stopping at all.
The blue leezard circled around it, throwing a mouse bogey, for fear that it would accidentally hurt Hong Jun, and did not dare to attack it, so anxious that it kept yelling.
Hong Jun was secretly frightened, under the repeated struggles of the violent tiger vulture, he grabbed the handle of the knife again, the long knife was thrown out little by little, the wound on the back was elongated, blood was splashed, and the handle of the knife had long been dyed red by blood, slippery, and difficult to grasp.
"It can't go on like this. ”
Hong Jun knew that he couldn't delay, at this critical juncture, his mind was extremely calm, and the true qi mana in the dantian qi sea was all mobilized, and it quickly poured into his left arm, his eyes froze, and he saw the opportunity, and slashed out with a palm in the air.
Shout!
With a roar, the red arc blade was fleeting, and the left wing of the Tyrannical Vulture fell in response, and was cut off by the Flame Chopping Knife, and its body immediately lost its balance and fell straight to the ground from a high altitude.
Hong Jun turned upside down, pulled out a long knife in his right hand, and stepped the back of the tyrannical vulture, the whole person jumped high, and the tyrannical vulture wanted to turn its head and bite Hong Jun, but it lost its ability to fly at the moment, biting into the air, and could only watch the blue leezard fly over from the side to catch Hong Jun, and the cooperation was just right.
"Roar!" the tiger vulture slumped to the edge of a cliff in despair, and its roar came to an abrupt end.
The blue leek lizard soon landed, Hong Jun jumped down and landed, and when he saw the violent tiger vulture that had fallen into a blur of flesh and blood, he couldn't help laughing and said: "This beast's luck is also not good, it actually fell on a whole stone cliff, if it falls into the forest, maybe there is still half a life, let me use the Qinglian treasure to absorb it slowly, and I won't waste that Sancheng aura." ”
As he spoke, Hong Jun quickly took out the Qinglian Treasure Book and the black crystal and placed them on top of the corpse of the Violent Tiger Vulture.
After months of transformation and absorption, the volume of the black crystal has long since returned to the size of a fist, and the aura contained is far greater than before, and the color is becoming deeper and deeper, almost absorbing light. At this time, in Hong Jun's eyes, the black crystal was even brighter than the blue leech, and even he didn't know how much spiritual energy he had absorbed and how much Vulcan Paste could be transformed.
"Do you want to eat it?" asked Hong Jun to the blue leech. According to the custom, after each hunting monster, half of it must be given to the blue leek as food. In the past few months, dozens of demon beasts have been eaten, and the strength of the blue wind lizard is also slowly increasing, and it is obviously stronger than before.
The blue leezard did not answer, but flew up and fell into a bush half a mile away, and when it came back, it bit the wings of a violent tiger vulture in its mouth, which was cut down by Hong Jun with a flame slashing knife just now, and fell there.
Seeing that the blue leek was eating with relish, Hong Jun shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't run far, I want to recover my mana." ”
After speaking, Hong Jun sat down cross-legged on the edge of the cliff, and soon entered into a state of tranquility, visualizing the Vermilion Bird in his mind, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth. A few months later, Hong Jun did not delay his cultivation while hunting demon beasts, with a sufficient supply of Fire God Cream, his cultivation did not retreat but advanced, the dantian qi sea expanded steadily, and the true qi mana it contained was also constantly improving, according to his own estimates, it was not far from the first layer of qi refining.
Otherwise, the flame slashing knife just now wouldn't have been so powerful, easily cutting off the wings of the Tyrannical Vulture.
There was no word all night, when the first ray of sunlight shone on the cliff, Hong Jun's mana had already fully recovered, and he felt that the aura of heaven and earth at this time was particularly lively, and the speed of refining qi had increased slightly.
Hong Jun sat on the edge of the cliff with his eyes closed, there was a looming air flow under his nose, like a small snake dancing, and the aura of heaven and earth entered his body with his nose like a whale swallowing water.
Just when Hong Jun's breathing and breathing, when his perception reached its sharpest, he suddenly noticed that a strange gaze fell on him, he was slightly frightened, and immediately withdrew from the visualization, looked up at the sky, only to see that the sky was clear, and a few floating clouds were floating in the sky, and he did not find any figure. Turning his head and looking around, the aura of the Tyrant Tiger Vulture had been transformed, leaving a pile of rotten meat, the color of the black crystal was getting deeper and deeper, and the blue wind lizard didn't know where it had gone, and it was nowhere to be found.
Hong Jun always felt uneasy, and got up to put away the Qinglian Treasure and the black crystal.
"Huh?"
A sound as thin as a mosquito sounded, almost inaudible, Hong Jun would never think that he had heard it wrong, he raised his head again and looked in the direction where the voice came from, but there was still nothing in front of him, and there was no trace at all.
As soon as his mind moved, Hong Jun used the Spirit Eye Qi Technique, and suddenly a clear image within a radius of a hundred zhang appeared in his mind, and there was still no abnormality.
"Where the hell is it?" Hong Jun was vigilant in his heart, his eyes scanned back and forth in the sky, and soon found that there was something wrong with one of the white clouds in the sky. At first glance, this cloud is no different from other clouds, in fact, its position is far below the normal cloud height, but it is not visible from the ground, if it is not for the faint aura fluctuations it emits, Hong Jun would not have noticed the abnormality.
"Who's up there, come out!" Hong Jun shouted, his eyes locked on the white clouds.
