Chapter 286: The Scaly Clan
The two got along well regardless of their previous suspicions, and things went a lot smoother.
Not long ago, he killed Cangxuan Mansion Jun here, although the means were devastating, and he was not even given the opportunity to ask for help from the outside world, but in line with the principle of prudence, Zhang Qian still did not have any carelessness, and used the poisonous gas of the lungs to incinerate the body of Cangxuan Mansion Jun and the blood remaining in the air, which allowed Chi Lian Zi to enter the Linglong Liuhe Pagoda, and transferred it like elsewhere, and there was no need for Zhang Qian to ask more on the way, Chi Lian Zi carefully told Zhang Qian about his experiences over the years, the focus was naturally on the last six months, Zhang Qian listened carefully for a while, and also knew the reason why he and the Minotaur would be mixed together, it turned out to be just a coincidence。
However, after half a year of life and death, the minotaur general already trusts this red trainer very much.
Knowing that the odds of forcibly breaking through the level were extremely low, in the face of the pursuit of Xiaowei Mountain, even if there was a wisp of the demon sage's primordial spirit to provide him with combat power, it would be difficult to survive this crisis unharmed, so he handed over the responsibility of breaking the seal to Chi Lianzi, and led the Ziyang Dao Lord and others to the direction of Xirong, which can be described as well-intentioned, and he didn't even want his life, and he didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup this minotaur would be poured into by the nine-tailed sky fox.
"In other words, do you know where the Great Cave Heavenly Ruins of Qingcheng Mountain are now?" Zhang Qian listened to his statement, and his emotions were suddenly mobilized.
Chi Lianzi nodded and said, "Now I not only know where the Great Cave Heaven Ruins of Qingcheng Mountain are, but also know how to break the seal. ”
"I didn't expect the Minotaur to hand over such an important matter directly to you. Zhang Qian was quite surprised, although he knew from the beginning that Chi Lianzi might be shouldering a very important task, otherwise the minotaur would not be in danger to contain the firepower for him, but the limit of his imagination was that Chi Lianzi contacted the rescuers at most, but he didn't expect that this minotaur would be desperate and put all the hole cards on Chi Lianzi alone, which was convenient for himself. That is, he met the needs of the plan, and he could calmly help the Great Sage of the Demon Clan get out of trouble and release a big trouble to Heavenly Court, and he didn't need to fight with Yangshan Xiaodong in the dark, and the risk was greatly reduced.
It's just that when Chi Lianzi talks about these things, his brows are always furrowed, as if the minotaur pushed this matter to him, causing him a huge amount of pressure.
"What, you don't want to do this?" Zhang Qian also saw through his thoughts.
Now the master and apprentice have nothing to shy away from. Chi Lianzi directly revealed the worries in his heart, and said: "Although the bull-headed ghost general led away the Ziyang Dao Lord and others for me, but Nanban is also a place of great evil, and there must be many risks in this place, although once this matter is successful, the reward promised by the Great Sage of the Demon Clan is also unusually rich, but it is not worth risking his life for this, but if he betrays his promise, this Great Sage of the Demon Clan will be angry." It's definitely not something I can bear, so I'm going to go to this southern barbarian land, but I have already planned to go and retreat. Just do a perfunctory thing, and then return to the cave of Xiaowei Mountain, presumably the demon clan great sage will not be entangled. ”
"I'm afraid your idea won't work now?" Zhang Qian smiled, I'm afraid Chi Lianzi still doesn't know Xiao Weishan's current position and situation. Tell him about the secret alliance between the sect and the demon clan.
Chi Lianzi was still a little unconvinced when he heard this, and wondered: "Although my Demon Sect is in a difficult situation, it is still in balance with the Dao Sect. Will it anger the Heavenly Court with the demon clan? This is simply a way to cut yourself off. ”
Before he reached a desperate situation, he began to break the cauldron and sink the boat, it did look a little stupid, Chi Lianzi couldn't believe that he was also cleaning up, Zhang Qian told him about the two years of Daomen's suppression of the earth's gods, although this matter was not directly related to the Demon Sect, but Chi Lianzi was not stupid, and immediately sensed the intention of the heavenly court from this matter, the earthly gods are vassals of the heavenly court, and the human Daomen jointly manage the human world, which can be said to be the right-hand man, just because the right and the heavenly court are somewhat derailed, they were ruthlessly eradicated, and the Demon Sect and the Daomen, Heaven does not want to see each other, and is often regarded as a thorn in the flesh, can they continue to let it go? It is only a matter of time before the two sides go to war in the end.
If this is the case, it is really possible that the alliance between the Demon Sect and Xiaowei Mountain is real.
In other words, if he is perfunctory about this, it will not be related to the demon clan's plan, and it will also be related to the life and death of the Demon Sect, and there will be no place for him to return to Xiaowei Mountain.
"This, what should I do?" Chi Lianzi looked sad.
"Naturally, I will do a good job of completing the things entrusted to you by the Minotaur, I will go with you in the land of the Southern Barbarians, even if there is a risk, I will share it with you, what do you have to worry about?" Zhang Qian gave him a reassurance.
"Why would you take such a risk?" Listening to Zhang Qian's words for a long time before, Chi Lianzi also knew Zhang Qian's position, he seemed to be a speculator, not belonging to any of the forces, he lurked inside Xiaowei Mountain, including saving himself completely out of personal will, not the arrangement of the sect, nor for the sake of the interests of the sect, not only did he not obey the orders of the high-level of Xiaoweishan, but there seemed to be some contradictions with the high-level, and he needed to come forward to resolve them, that is to say, the life and death of Xiaoweishan did not have too direct interests with him, and he naturally had nothing to do with the demon clan, so he couldn't figure out why Zhang Qian was so keen on this matter,
Although Zhang Qian didn't hide much from Chi Lianzi, he didn't tell him that he was a humanitarian, so these behaviors looked a little strange.
"I've only been in Xiaowei Mountain for two years, and the sect treats me meanly, if it weren't for my hard life, now I'm only afraid that the bones will not exist, to be honest, I don't have much of a good impression of this sect, let alone a so-called sense of belonging, but there are eggs under the nest? The destruction of Xiaowei Mountain is definitely not a good thing for me, not to mention that I am now the peak master of Flame Hell Peak, and I am also a member of Xiao Wei Mountain, not for the overall interests of the sect, but also for the sake of my Flame Hell Peak, so my intention does not conflict with the sect, and the things that this minotaur will entrust must be completed. Zhang Qian and Chi Lianzi carefully talked about their thoughts, and Chi Lianzi was also a lot more settled when he heard this.
Zhang Qian has no sense of belonging to Xiaoweishan, but he does. He has been in the Xiaowei Mountains for more than 200 years.
He has always been a little worried in his heart, if Zhang Qian breaks with the sect one day, how should he choose, but now when he hears him say this, the worries in his heart are gradually subsided.
"And not to mention other reasons, just from my personal standpoint, I am also willing to do this, this nine-tailed heavenly fox's body is sealed in the Qingcheng Mountain Great Cave Heaven, right? Qingcheng Mountain Great Cave Heaven is one of the top ten sects before the Great Tribulation. Its scale is no worse than today's Luofu Mountain Sanqing Palace, although it was destroyed in the catastrophe, but how many treasures are left behind? If you are fortunate enough to be able to divide one or two, this benefit is naturally indescribable, it is not an exaggeration to say that it can benefit future generations, but Qingcheng Mountain Dadongtian fell apart in the war thousands of years ago, I don't know where it drifted to, the only one who knows the clue is the Chengtian who participated in the war to imitate the Earth Immortal King, but unfortunately this immortal king has defected from the heavens thousands of years ago, and is missing. This clue is completely broken, and in addition, there is only the nine-tailed heavenly fox whose body was sealed by the Earth Immortal King in the Great Cave Heaven Ruins of Qingcheng Mountain after Chengtian imitated it, and only through the clues provided by her can this ruin be found, so I am also happy to do this matter. Zhang Qian smiled, there is a lot of adventurous spirit of dying birds for money.
These words also gradually persuaded Chi Lianzi, saying that he was willing to cooperate with Zhang Qian to complete this matter, not to mention that he had no right to make his own decisions now.
With something to do, Zhang Qian naturally would not continue to wander around the 100,000 mountains. Although it is very likely that he will meet Yang Jiye, compared with the things in front of him, it is not important.
Once this matter is successful, finding out the location of the Great Cave Heaven Ruins in Qingcheng Mountain is secondary. The most important demon clan sage Nine-Tailed Sky Fox got out of trouble, and his plan was put on the final link and began to be launched, and he played a vital role in this matter. The Demon Clan and the Demon Sect will accept their own favors, and they have created an extremely good environment for the implementation of the plan, and they are also in a good mood. Immediately set off to the south, with all the information provided to him by Yangshan Xiaodongtian, Zhang Qian easily avoided the dangers encountered on the way to Nanban, and the Ziyang Daoist and the others were led to Xirong by the bull-headed ghost general, and the road was also calm and calm, without encountering any obstacles.
After more than 50,000 miles of travel, Zhang sneaked for about ten days before the mountains gradually disappeared and were replaced by an endless wasteland.
Low hills, sparse shrubs, dense swamps, haze miasma floating everywhere, except for the rising ground gas in the mire blowing up the silt like a tumor-like bubble, and then bursting a subtle sound, the whole wasteland is a dead silence where everything is withering, Zhang Qian flew over this wasteland for three days in a row, almost walked tens of thousands of miles, but the scenery in front of him has not changed, dull and maintains an eternal environment, enough to make any person with a firm mind have a sense of loss that can never get out, and finally gradually confirmed, thus falling into despair, and once you lose hope, what awaits you is death。
Although he did not encounter any fierce beast attacks along the way, he did not encounter the so-called wild tribes.
But the psychological pressure caused to Zhang Qian is even greater than the tide-like fierce beast group in the 100,000 mountains, and the danger here is invisible, but it is everywhere.
The wasteland under your feet is like a bowl of solidified oil soup, the upper layer is solidified, and under that layer of barren black soil, there is an ocean-like mire, there is no place to settle at all, once you fall into it, even the gods are difficult to get out, and the fact that a corpse the size of a hill is buried in the depths of this silt is enough to show what kind of danger this peaceful wasteland hides in the background, which means that you must keep walking, and there is no place to stop and breathe.
The realm is not deep, the foundation is not thick, breaking into this desperate wasteland, even if you are lucky, you don't encounter any bad luck, and you can drag yourself to death.
And the poisonous miasma in the air is also thicker than the 100,000 mountains, and the more toxic the poisonous miasma, the lighter the color, some even reach the point of colorless and tasteless, if it is not for Zhang Qian's leakless spirit body can be compared to the isolation from the outside world, I am afraid that it has been poisoned by these poisonous miasma hundreds of times, of course, be careful, at any time with your divine sense to explore the surrounding environment, it is not impossible to avoid, but this poisonous miasma is so ferocious that you can hunt living creatures by yourself, Zhang Qian doesn't know if these miasma are all cultivated into refinement, he encountered a colorful miasma not long ago, very beautiful, like Yunxia, he naturally understands that the more beautiful things in this wasteland, the more deadly。
Dozens of miles away, he was far away, but these miasma was like an enraged swarm of wild bees, rushing towards him frantically.
Zhang Qian's frightened cold hair stood on end, in this kind of dangerous place, the first point of saving his life is not to cause branches, he naturally didn't want to get entangled with this miasma, and he accelerated his speed all the way and fled wildly, but this miasma followed him like a maggot attached to the bone, no matter how his speed increased. It is also difficult to shake off, and the body is naturally eroded by the miasma, and the breathless armor has been soaked in the five-colored poisonous miasma for two or three hours, and it has already developed a thick layer of mold, and the machine spirit is lifeless, as if it is seriously ill, and the formation is naturally not working well, and the flight speed is getting slower and slower, and it looks like it is about to fall into trouble, thanks to Chi Lianzi's reminder.
He had traveled in the land of the Southern Barbarians. The "Heavenly Demon White Bone Sutra" was obtained at that time.
It turns out that this five-colored Zhang Qian is not spiritual, but the texture is too light, hundreds of times lighter than the air, and can only stay in the place where the air is thin at high altitude. It was caused by the air flow brought by Zhang Qian's flight, as long as he descended to a certain altitude and didn't fly too fast, there would be no problem. Zhang Qian followed this method, and really got rid of the multicolored smoke miasma like a maggot attached to the bone, but the problem he faced was even more severe.
You can't fly too high, you can't fly too fast. It's a living target for the beasts that lie dormant in the mire.
Zhang Qian flew hard for a day, and he encountered more than a dozen attacks, large and small, all of which were poisons in the mire.
The strength is not very strong. Food is poor, and it is destined that this area cannot give birth to terrifying species, but these poisons are called a yin and tricky, and the shells of some poisonous insects can even isolate their own breath, so that the divine sense can not detect it, and suddenly jump out of the quagmire to sneak attack, it is simply unguardable, fortunately, the seal on Zhang Qian's several acupuncture points has been broken, and now sight, hearing, smell, taste, The touch is extremely keen, not to mention the strong defensive ability of the Breathless Armor, which is not something that these poisonous insects can attack, but it is not a mortal threat, but it is tireless, not to mention the speed of the journey, and it is constantly being disrupted.
Zhang Qian also thoroughly saw the vastness and danger of Nanban, without accurate guidance, to find the ruins of Qingcheng Dadongtian in this land, it is really no different from looking for a needle in the sea.
Although the territory of Qingcheng Dadongtian is 100,000 miles, it has its own realm, and there is only one portal to communicate with the world, this portal may only be the size of a square inch, and it is also hidden by the forbidden formation.
"In this half month, you have been driving 150,000 miles day and night, and you are about to get out of the Bone Swamp, and then go south for 200,000 miles, you will reach the Boundless Sea, go out to sea for 90,000 miles, pass through the Long Silent Sea Plain, and then turn over the Broken Boat Ridge, you will arrive at the Fallen Star Trench, these days you haven't met those powerful ancient beasts in this bone swamp, they are just some ancient alien species, and I haven't encountered a wild alien race, which can be regarded as good luck. If it weren't for the fact that this 'dragon' was hunted down by a group of wild monks, I was afraid that I would have to confess back then. Chi Lianzi and Zhang Qian chatted without a match, Zhang Qian is not a person who talks a lot, but in this swamp of bones, if no one speaks, I am afraid that I can make people desperate to death.
These days, I also know the location of the ruins of Qingcheng Dadongtian from Chi Lianzi's mouth, and even the things of the year are clear.
When the Great Cave of Qingcheng Mountain was cracked by the Demon Clan's Great Sage Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox and Chengtian imitated the Earth Immortal King, separated from the leylines, and drifted here with the void turbulence, and finally fell into the Fallen Star Trench, this boundless sea is extremely dangerous, and the power of nature is so terrifying that the Yuan Shen and the Earth Immortals have to retreat, and the Fallen Star Trench will erupt into a magnetic storm every once in a while, and even the stars in the universe can be sucked into it。
"There are still hundreds of thousands of miles to go, and the danger is even worse, I am afraid that I will not be able to reach the Falling Star Trench in less than a month. Zhang Qian only felt that the time was extremely urgent, and rested on this meadow for less than a quarter of an hour, and immediately prepared to set off to continue his journey, when he suddenly heard the sound of muddy water rolling in his ears, Zhang Qian had long been accustomed to it, and in the past half a month, he had not been attacked by poison in the mire.
I was about to solve this problem easily, but suddenly I felt that something was wrong, and the voice seemed to come from more than one place.
Zhang Qian's heart suddenly had a burst of doubts, this bone wasteland is unusually barren, can not provide enough food, these poisons have no way to survive intensively, so the attacks are scattered, rarely encountered large-scale siege, why this time there is an abnormality, but also immediately cautious, look into the distance, along the barren grass from the look, only to see in the mire, a black image is a snake like writhing body, did not sink into the mud that devours everything, take a closer look, it actually presents a humanoid silhouette, but it is very different from normal people, not to mention the black scales growing all over the body, the backThere are fin-like things on the elbows.
It is these different body structures that make these people swim fast like snakes on the quagmire, extremely fast, and extremely flexible, and they can run dozens of feet away with a twist of their bodies.
Zhang Qian immediately transmitted the scene he had seen to Chi Lianzi through his divine sense.
Chi Lianzi, who was chattering with Zhang Qianxu about the heroic past of the year, suddenly closed his mouth and spit out three words nervously: "There are scales!" (to be continued......
