"Are you thinking about that loud roar during the day?"
Seeing that the other four people were full of worries, and they had no intention of meditating and restoring their aura at all, Xu Qingfan knew that there was no way to go on like this, so he asked bluntly. To read the latest chapters, please lock the biquge.info of Aishang Novels
Hearing Xu Qingfan's words, the other four were slightly stunned, but they no longer thought about it alone. Lu Qingshang was the first to say: "Yes, the loud roar during the day was huge, and Yu Wei alone caused me some internal injuries, if this roar was specifically aimed at me, I am afraid that I would not have the slightest resistance." β
Wang Qingjun's eyes flickered slightly, and he also frowned and said: "I don't know who made this loud roar, the power is so strong, it stands to reason that in addition to our disciples of various factions, there are only all kinds of demon beasts on this Huandao, could it be that colorful deer?"
Xu Qingfan shook his head after hearing Wang Qingjun's speculation, and said softly: "It shouldn't be from the colorful deer, not to mention that this roar is obviously the voice of a human being, and although I don't know about the monster beast of the colorful deer, it is evolved from the seven-colored deer, and the roar of the seven-colored deer is definitely not so terrifying." Besides, the Colorful Deer is just close to the strength of the ground-level demon beast, if it can let out such a terrifying roar, then the average earth-level demon beast is not its opponent. β
Jin Qinghan frowned and asked, "Then Senior Brother Xu, you mean that this loud roar was made on behalf of the disciples from other sects who came to participate in the newcomer competition?"
Xu Qingfan hadn't spoken yet, but Feng Qingtian, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Impossible." The aura fluctuation in this roar is vague, obviously not a kind of Taoism, but the aura is concentrated in the throat, and it comes from a mouthful of dantian qi, which is a simple roar. And the newcomer competition can only be participated in by disciples below the knot stage, but to be able to make such a mighty roar, at least the cultivation of the knot stage must be done. β
Hearing Feng Qingtian so unceremoniously denied his guess. Jin Qinghan glanced at Feng Qingtian lightly. But he didn't say anything.
"Could it be that there is a certain senior living in seclusion on the island?" Lu Qingshang thought of another possibility.
"No, it won't. Xu Qingfan shook his head and said: "Several seniors in the Ascetic Valley have repeatedly explored the environment of this Huandao before, and if there are seniors living in seclusion here, it is impossible for them not to know." β
As Xu Qingfan's voice fell, everyone fell silent for a while. When all possibilities were overturned, everyone's hearts were full of doubts and concerns.
Because it is unknown. So terrible. People are always wary of unknown dangers.
After a long time, Lu Qingshang smiled bitterly and said, "This roar is as powerful as the Howling Heavenly Beast, but it is sent by humans, which is really strange." β
Hearing what Lu Qingshang said inadvertently, Xu Qingfan's heart moved slightly, as if he had caught something.
"Howling Beast". One of the most powerful demon beasts among the human-level high-level demon beasts, one point stronger than the blue-eyed cloud kicking beast. Although it is petite and has very weak hand-to-hand combat ability, it is good at using its roar to defeat the enemy, and the roar of its petite body simply has the power to change the color of heaven and earth.
Seeing Xu Qingfan's body shake slightly, he closed his eyes and pondered. Jin Qinghan and the others knew that Xu Qingfan must have thought of something, and they didn't ask. Afraid of interrupting his train of thought, he just looked at Xu Qingfan silently, waiting for him to explain.
After making an appointment for a cup of tea, Xu Qingfan opened his eyes and glanced at the four people around him, and asked slowly, "Do you know the origin of the name of the Heavenly Beast?"
Lu Qingshang smiled and said, "I don't know." But Senior Brother Xu, you must know if you ask so. I've heard a long time ago, Senior Brother Xu, that you're well-read. So don't beat around the bush now, just talk to me and others about what you think. That makes you feel so knowledgeable, doesn't it?"
Although Lu Qingshang is a teenager. But the dense crow's feet at the corners of his eyes when he laughed revealed his true age. In fact, Lu Qingshang is the eldest of the five, and it has only been sixty years since he entered Jiuhuamen. Although he is the oldest of the people, his personality is the most free and easy among the five, and he always looks bohemian, which also makes the atmosphere between the five people more harmonious.
Hearing Lu Qingshang's words, Xu Qingfan laughed at himself, in the past, Yue Qingru was answering the doubts in his heart like this, first throwing out the questions, and then answering. And Xu Qingfan has been with Yue Qingru for many years, and he unknowingly contracted this habit.
But Xu Qingfan knew that Lu Qing's character was like this, and although he made fun of it, he didn't have any malicious intent, so he didn't care, but slowly explained: "Before the Howling Heaven Beast was discovered by humans, the name Howling Heaven had already existed. It was a branch of the Shura tribe, called the Howling Celestial Clan, which was like a human child and also used its roar to defeat the enemy. Later, the Howling Heaven Clan and the Shura Clan were sealed by the cultivators at that time, and they gradually disappeared from the memory of mankind. β
Tens of thousands of years ago, human beings were only the most inconspicuous of the many races in the vast land of Shenzhou. In addition to humans, there were many other races at that time, which were powerful and had a long history. Because of his aggressive nature and easy to kill, he was collectively called the "Shura Clan" by humans, but in the end, he was sealed by humans one after another.
Xu Qingfan paused and continued: "Later, as the scope of human beings' activities in the vast land of Shenzhou became larger and larger, many demon beasts that had never been heard of before were discovered, and the Howling Heavenly Beast was discovered at that time. Because it is as thin as the Howling Celestial Clan, and is good at suppressing enemies with its roar, it is named the Howling Beast. β
Hearing Xu Qingfan's story, Feng Qingtian frowned and asked, "What do you mean by saying that there are people from the Howling Heaven Clan on this island?" Even if there were still remnants of the Celestial Clan here, they had already been discovered by the monks of the Ascetic Valley who had come to explore before. β
Xu Qingfan shook his head slightly, and asked softly, "Have you noticed the person who represented the Eight Desolation Hall to participate in this newcomer competition?"
"You mean that person who looks like a child?" Jin Qinghan asked suddenly. In fact, the five members of the Jiuhua Sect had been silently looking at the opponents of other sects since they came to Zhan Tai, but the child-like person in the Eight Desolation Hall was undoubtedly the most impressive to everyone. Because the power exuded by his body was the strongest among the thousands of disciples on Zhan Tai, three points stronger than Zhi Feng Qingtian.
"Do you suspect that the child-like person is the sin of the Howling Heaven Clan?" Feng Qingtian asked with a frown.
Xu Qingfan nodded silently, and then said, "It's just a suspicion, after all, the Howling Heaven Clan hasn't appeared in the vast land of Shenzhou for tens of thousands of years." But the image of that person is indeed too similar to the image of the Howling Heavenly Clan described in ancient books. β
Heard Xu Qingfan's words. The other four people of Jiuhuamen fell silent again. If the Shura clan appeared in this newcomer competition, it would be a big deal, but all of this was just Xu Qingfan's speculation, and it was impossible to be accurate at all. What's more, this is not something that a disciple like them who has not yet stepped into the Dan stage can manage. β
Seeing that everyone was silent, Xu Qingfan knew the scruples in their hearts. So he stopped talking about the topic and said, "It's not too early, let's hurry up and meditate to restore the aura, and tomorrow we will continue to catch the seven-colored deer." Let's hope that tomorrow there won't be another roar. β
Originally, Xu Qingfan and the others had already captured five seven-colored deer in half a day, but since that loud roar appeared on Huandao. All the seven-colored deer on the island seemed to be in a great panic, or constantly running around on the plains on the island, or hiding somewhere and shivering, which brought great trouble to the capture of Xu Qingfan and others, so since the loud roar appeared, Xu Qingfan and the others spent the same amount of time but only caught two. Otherwise, Xu Qingfan and the others have completed their tasks by now and returned to Zhantai.
After hearing Xu Qingfan's words, everyone nodded silently. But Wang Qingjun said: "There are many green dragon pythons in Huandao at night, and it is not safe for everyone to close their minds and meditate. Let me keep vigil, I didn't consume much aura today anyway. β
During this day's capture, Xu Qingfan and LΓΌ Qingshang were in charge of imprisoning, while Jin Qinghan and Feng Qingtian were in charge of attacking, and Wang Qingjun was only responsible for preventing accidents. It is indeed the least aura consumption among all people.
Xu Qingfan just wanted to agree. But suddenly the words of Zhang Hualing and Bai Qingfu sounded before, so he said: "I'll keep vigil with you." Tomorrow, Senior Brother Jin will rotate, we must not only prevent the Green Dragon Python now, but also be careful that there are other sects of immortal cultivators sneak attack and snatch the seven-colored deer we captured, you must know that this situation has happened in previous newcomer competitions, so it is still safe for two people to keep vigil Hearing Xu Qingfan's words, everyone nodded silently, Wang Qingjun originally wanted to say something, but seeing that everyone did not object, he followed the silence. just looked at Xu Qingfan's eyes flickering slightly, as if he guessed Xu Qingfan's true thoughts.
Not long after Feng Qingtian and the others calmed down and meditated, a drizzle suddenly fell in the sky of Huandao, and with the sea breeze on Huandao, the oblique wind and drizzle in front of them added a sense of coldness and melancholy to Huandao.
Before everyone meditated, Lu Qingshang laid out another defensive formation around everyone in order to alleviate Xu Qingfan and Wang Qingjun's vigil work, and also to increase the garrison. Under the barrier of the defensive formation, although it was drizzling, it did not have any impact on everyone.
Looking at the dark night outside the protective array, if it weren't for the constant sound of waves in his ears, Xu Qingfan seemed to have returned to the Southern Wilderness, and the night scene there was also so dim.
It is said that the sound of the waves, although monotonous, helps to calm the mind. But at this time, Xu Qingfan listened to the sound of the waves, but he felt a little irritable in his heart. The inexplicable words spoken by Zhang Hualing and Bai Qingfu, the terrifying roar on the island during the day, and the provocation of Deng Tiantong all indicate that this newcomer competition will not be peaceful, and there is even something hidden.
But what will happen, Xu Qingfan has no way of knowing. Although Xu Qingfan is not a person with a strong desire to control, the feeling of being out of control still makes him feel a little uneasy and impatient in his heart.
But the impatience and uneasiness in Xu Qingfan's heart are not only because of these, after his observation during the day, he found that the five people of Jiuhua Mountain are also full of contradictions, although they are calm now, but they don't know when they will erupt.
Although Lu Qingshang is free and easy by nature, he is obviously still unhappy that Jin Qinghan seriously injured him in the Jiuhuamen Inner Competition ten years ago, so in this whole day, Lu Qingshang has never taken the initiative to say a word to Jin Qinghan.
And Jin Qinghan and Feng Qingtian are even more contradictory, and when they catch the seven-colored deer during the day, the two seem to be competing. Always consciously or unconsciously competing to see who can solve the opponent first. So much so that later, those seven-colored deer were all dead. And when discussing the source of the roar just now, the two are even more confrontational, as long as one of them speaks, the other will definitely refute.
As for Wang Qingjun, he is the person Xu Qingfan can't see through the most, he never shows off, and he never complains about Xu Qingfan's assignment. But perhaps because of the influence of what Zhang Hualing said before, there is something hidden in the ordinariness of Wang Qingjun, who is the general decision of Xu Qingfan. And Xu Qingfan found that not only himself, but also Feng Qingtian had been silently paying attention to Wang Qingjun, as if he had discovered something.
Thinking of this, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but look at the other side of the defensive array. There, Feng Qingtian and the other three were meditating silently with their eyes closed and their knees crossed. And Wang Qingjun, like Xu Qingfan, was standing on the edge of the protective array, quietly looking at the night scene in the rain outside the array. Feeling Xu Qingfan's gaze, Wang Qingjun also turned his head and smiled at Xu Qingfan, even if he was greeting, but he didn't have the slightest intention to speak.
Looking at Wang Qingjun's smile, Xu Qingfan suddenly remembered Bai Qingfu, the smiles of these two people were so similar. It's all smiles, although realistic, but without a hint of laughter. There is a feeling of laughing for the sake of laughing. The difference is only. Bai Qing's blessed smile is much more skilled than Wang Qingjun's.
Suddenly, Xu Qingfan had a ridiculous idea, he suddenly felt that Bai Qingfu and Wang Qingjun were wearing a human skin mask, but as soon as this idea appeared, Xu Qingfan denied it, and what kind of human skin mask could deceive the immortal cultivator's "Heavenly Eye Technique"?
He shook his head slightly. Get rid of the wild thoughts in your head. Xu Qingfan began to observe the night scene in the rain intently, after all, Huandao was dangerous. Vigil is important.
The night always seems to be accompanied by conspiracy, as if it is because the conspirators feel that the night is in harmony with their dark psychology, or they feel that the night can better hide their own conspiracy, so they will only have a sense of security when they hide in the dark.
Somewhere on the island, a figure was standing quietly in the drizzle, waiting for something.
I don't know how long later, another figure appeared not far from the original figure, and compared to the original figure, this figure was larger.
"You're late. β
"They're just starting to close their minds and meditate, and I can't get out. β
"How far have you accomplished?" asked the original voice after a moment of silence before speaking again.
"Xu Qingfan and Feng Qingtian seem to have always had scruples about me, and they have been secretly watching me, so that I can't act. Hmph, it's not that your acting skills were too bad. β
"This identity was originally used to attract the attention of Jiuhuamen. But with your strength and heart, will you have a chance to make a move? I think you're soft-hearted, right?
"What do you mean by that?"
After being silent for a long time again, the original voice sounded again: "It doesn't matter, anyway, it's the same whether your task is completed or not, and it will naturally have a better effect if it is completed, and it will not affect the overall situation if it is not completed." β
"Do you have any news from that loud roar during the day?"
"I don't know here, but no matter who made the roar, it won't affect the overall situation. β
"And when are you going to do it?"
"I think it's already started. Another voice said faintly.
Although Huandao has entered the night, the Zhan platform on the top of Wuling Mountain is still bright, the green grass is secluded, and the birds and rabbits are walking, as if there is no darkness at all in this holy place of cultivating immortals.
On the Zhan platform, there were about four or five thousand disciples of various factions standing, bustling with people. Most of them were disciples who had come to watch the newcomer competition under the guidance of their elders, and they were all excited and discussing with each other what they had seen during the day. But there are some who are depressed, they are all disciples who came to participate in this newcomer competition on behalf of their respective sects, but they didn't expect to return in less than a day, losing face.
On the jade platform where the heads and elders of the various sects were located in the south of Zhan Tai, the heads and elders of the various factions sat on it, but no one said a word, all of them looked at the expressions of the disciples of their sect quietly through the mirror imagery, and the expressions of the disciples were happy or worried.
Finally, Zeng Lianxian, the head of the Five Elements Sect, broke the silence and said with a smile: "Hey, I'm afraid my sect will lose face this time." β
Up to now, the results of the Five Elements Sect are the worst of the six holy lands, and they are even worse than the ** sect. Therefore, although Zeng Lianxian's expression at this time was smiling, it was a little reluctant.
Zhang Hualingan said with a smile: "It's only been a day, and the current results don't say anything." Sect Master Zeng didn't need to be in a hurry. β
Zeng Lianxian sighed: "Naturally, Zhang's head is not in a hurry, your disciple is so good, he has captured seven seven-colored deer in just one day. β
Zhang Hualing smiled slightly after hearing Zeng Lianxian's words, but he couldn't see whether he was happy or worried in his heart, but he just said meaningfully: "Where can my Jiuhua Gate compare to the Eight Desolation Palace, the five teachers and nephews of the Eight Desolation Hall have already overfulfilled the task." Especially the desolate evil master and nephew, the roar is infinitely powerful, and it is no worse than the Howling Heavenly Clan 10,000 years ago. β
Hearing Zhang Hualing's words, the eyes of the main hall master of the Eight Desolations Hall flashed, and he just wanted to say something, but his face suddenly changed greatly, and he looked towards the sky above Zhan Tai, where was the mirror image of Huandao transformed by the "mirror image".
Not only the barbarian sky, but also the heads and elders of the various factions on the jade platform, including some disciples with higher cultivation levels under the stage, all suddenly looked up at the mirror image of the Huandao transformed by the mirror technique in the sky.
I saw that on the mirror technique in the sky, strange aura fluctuations suddenly began to appear, and under the influence of this aura fluctuation, the originally clear mirror image was like a stone hitting the water, and then, this wave became more and more intense. After about dozens of breaths, the mirror image of the island transformed by the mirror image technique shattered in front of everyone's eyes.
Seeing this kind of abnormal change in front of them, the faces of everyone on Zhan Tai changed greatly.
