Chapter 12: Demon Realm [Second Update]
Crane Dance Town, located in the northernmost part of the territory of the Fire Emblem Battle Faction, is named after the legend that there was a phoenix-crowned crane with a five-grade cultivation.
Shangyang City is closest to the Northern Demon Realm, and this Crane Dance Town is the place where it must pass.
At this time, the sun was rising, and the surrounding flat town of Tsurumai was cold, and there were only a few groups of people passing through the streets, most of them sleepy, they were the monks in charge of the vigil, and it was now the time for the morning shift.
"I've been unstable lately, and hearing that sound in the middle of the night gives me goosebumps..."
"Whether the big array is stable or not has its own people to worry about, let's just do a good errand to solve the problem of food and clothing for the family, no matter how much it is!"
"But I heard that there seems to be a red-eyed pig demon approaching! That's a fierce demon at the peak of the third grade, and when people go out, they are afraid that there will be death and no life..."
"Don't talk too much! The Shang family has been wiped out, and the world has not been peaceful recently... Duty, don't meddle in your business!"
......
Yi Qian, who was passing by with the sword in mid-air, vaguely heard the conversation between the two monks below, frowned and stopped.
He hadn't heard of any red-eyed pig demons, but what the words "three-grade peak" meant, Yi Qian was clear.
That's the strength equivalent to the tenth layer of the monk's golden pill!
Don't look at Wei Lao Dao who killed Shang Kui of the tenth layer of Jindan, he said it lightly, Yi Qian didn't think that he could escape in front of a guy who was comparable to Shang Kui's cultivation, not long ago when he was hunting in the Demon Realm, he saw with his own eyes a Jindan cultivator in Shangyang City whose realm was far inferior to Shang Kui, easily killing a team of foreign predators in the peeping period and seizing their animal materials, if it weren't for Yi Qian's quick opportunity and hiding in a deep crypt, I am afraid that he would also be killed and wiped out...
"Xiao Wu, do you know the red-eyed pig demon?"
A slit was exposed on the front of the leather jacket, Xiao Wu poked his head out, and said blankly: "I don't know, but I don't know if I hear the name..."
Yi Qian hesitated for a moment, he didn't change his plan because of this, he needed to find the "Lijin Sword Technique"! With the sword technique to complement him, his cultivation at the first level could also fight if he encountered an enemy at the fourth or fifth level!
What's more, some of the things in "The Mantra of the Beast" also need to be confirmed...
The heart of the young man, impulse defeated reason, Yi Qian's divine sense led forward, and the Lijin sword lit up again, carrying him forward quickly.
In Crane Dance Town, there is a middle-aged man in a beige coat, forty years old, old-fashioned, with long and narrow eyes, he looked at Yi Qian's distant back, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes!
On the shoulders of this middle-aged man, a small eagle with bronze feathers stood with its eyes closed, and at this time it seemed to be aware, and a pair of eagle eyes suddenly opened!
"It's a pity that it's a cold flying sword, it's a pity to be driven by such a junior!"
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned into a streamer and chased in the direction Yi Qian left...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
In a moment, a layer of pale red light curtain in the distance was visible, and Yi Qian sighed in his heart, this sword technique is extremely fast, but it saves a lot of effort when used to hurry...
As soon as he was distracted, the light curtain was dramatically enlarged in front of him! Xiao Wu suddenly let out a mouse-like scream in his arms, Yi Qian's consciousness shrank sharply, and the Lijin Sword suddenly stopped!
The qi and blood in his body surged, Yi Qian's face turned red, and it took a while to ease up, wipe the cold sweat, and the sword descended.
"If you don't die in a great disaster, you will have a blessing... If you don't die, there will be a blessing in the future..."Xiao Wu had words in his mouth, obviously frightened.
"Xiao Yi, have you gotten a glimpse of it?"
There were five people standing in front of the light curtain below, and one of the gray-robed old men looked at Yi Qian, who fell from the sky, with a surprised expression: "I remember that you were still in the eighth layer in the first half of the month, and you broke through so quickly?"
"It's okay, I used more spirit stones..."Yi Qian put away the Lijin sword, grinned, and handed over five first-grade spirit stones as customs clearance fees.
"It's still good to be young~" The gray-robed old man took the spirit stone with a smile, and gestured to the four young cultivators in the same outfit behind him, the four of them nodded, turned around and sat down cross-legged facing the light curtain, and the four of them pinched the magic trick at the same time, and shot a red light towards the light curtain, and shouted in unison: "Open!"
Ripples suddenly appeared on the pale red light curtain, and in the blink of an eye, a small hole opened, just enough for one person to pass.
"In recent days, the edge of this demon realm has not been peaceful, Xiao Yi went into the forest to hunt, but you have to be careful. The gray-robed old man patted Yi Qian's shoulder and signaled that he could pass Guò.
"Thank you Elder Zeng for reminding you!" Yi Qian hugged his fists and stepped through the gap in the light curtain, the little crow in his arms was still in shock, and the young cultivator closest to the gap glanced at it with some confusion, and then his face was shocked!
Talking ear mouse?!
After Yi Qian passed through, the four of them withdrew the magic trick, and the gap on the light curtain quickly returned to its original state, and there was no longer any gap.
The young man who heard Xiao Wu hurriedly went to talk to the other three, but was ridiculed for having something wrong with his ears...
That old man's attention was not here, the hand he patted Yi Qian's shoulder was still frozen in mid-air, his expression was a little stunned, his palm was flipped in front of his eyes, and there was an extremely subtle flash of fire in the palm of his hand...
"This..."Zeng Lao's face changed continuously, and a flash of joy suddenly appeared in his eyes!
Is Xiao Yi the heir of that senior...
Suddenly, his expression moved slightly, Zeng Lao immediately clenched the palm behind him, looked into the distance, and a beige streamer flew in!
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
In the morning, in the forest on the edge of the northern demon realm, Yi Qian's figure kept walking through.
On the way, some deer and birds were so frightened that they fled in all directions, they were just ordinary beasts, even lions and tigers, they were as fragile as paper paste in front of cultivators, and Yi Qian didn't need to hide his body at all.
"If you don't die in a great disaster, you will have a blessing... If you don't die in a great disaster, you will have a blessing... How do I feel like someone is following us..."
The little black crow in his arms clasped his paws together, chattering tirelessly, Yi Qian poked its little head, and sneered: "How can anyone follow, are you overly nervous! It's really cowardly~ Isn't it almost crashed into the big array?
Xiao Wu was not happy when he heard this, and pouted: "The courage of a human being is not as good as that of a mouse!
Yi Qian was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but look back, at this time he had run for nearly a hundred miles, and more parts of the pale red light curtain could be seen in the distance, as if a huge transparent red bowl was upside down on the ground, but the shape of this "bowl" was not very regular.
The pale red light curtain was the [Glazed Clear Fire Array] of the Fire Pattern Battle Sect, completely covering its territory of tens of thousands of miles, in order to block the invasion of monsters and spirits in the demon realm.
The reason why the "Yunfeng Six Factions" have a high prestige is not only because of their powerful power, but also because the six factions all have their own unique formations and magical powers to protect the territory, and the rest of the thousands of small sects and Xiuzhen families can only survive if they become vassals of the "Yunfeng Six Factions", and as for ordinary people, they have no choice.
Over the years, most people have been accustomed to this kind of life, living under the protection of the great array and secret arts, while spitting on the lowliness of monsters and monsters, but on the other hand, they are afraid of disasters.
Even Yi Qian didn't think deeply about this problem, as if it was normal for people to live in the array, at this time, listening to Xiao Wu's words, a thought couldn't help but appear in his heart...
Are humans really nobler than beasts?
Monsters and monsters occupy a broader world, and people can only huddle in the formation to survive, like beasts in captivity, and survive for a long time...
In this way, including those great supernatural monks, aren't they all living a life that is inferior to that of beasts?
Seeing that Yi Qian was silent, Xiao Wu looked up, and no longer had broken thoughts, and retracted into his leather jacket, in the demon realm, the ear mouse is the food of many demon beasts and monsters, and it doesn't dare to show up for too long.
Yi Qian restrained his feelings, took out the map and glanced at it, and hurried away silently.
There are still one hundred and eighty miles away from the place where the "Lijin Sword Technique" was sealed!
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
The winter forest is deserted, like a wild beast in hibernation, quiet, but it can make people feel a dangerous atmosphere.
The bare trees are empty, and there are few monsters in the forest, but if you think they're all hibernating, you're wrong.
Yi Qian's face was cautious, he didn't dare to run at full speed, he bowed his body and walked slowly, at this time he had entered the edge of the demon realm, and the thing he inhabited was no longer an ordinary beast, but a demon beast spirit with considerable intelligence!
Yi Qian, hunting a first-class demon beast is good, if you meet two, you have to hibernate and fight for a long time to win, meet three, then only escape, Wei Lao Dao only taught him some very basic Taoist skills, there are all kinds of types, but the power is very weak, not to mention that Yi Qian has never had a magic weapon, every hunt needs to be cautious, otherwise it is the result of a small life...
"Wow!"
Suddenly, a black shadow rushed out from the grass not far away, and came straight to Yi Qian's chest!
"Little mosquito monkey, annoying!"
Yi Qian snorted coldly, his body rolled over and dodged it, and when he raised his hand, the Lijin sword flashed out, and the black shadow let out a scream, and it was cut in half and thrown to the ground.
It was a small gray and black monkey, only about a foot long, and in particular, it had a sharp mouthpart under its nose, and there were still some blood stains on it, which was slightly fishy.
[Mosquito Monkey], a monkey demon, piercing the prey with its mouthparts to suck blood is its only means of attack, often entangled with its speed, very annoying, almost every time Yi Qian comes to the demon realm, it will be encountered, and it is already familiar with it.
Of course, the most annoying thing for Yi Qian was that the mosquito monkey did not have anything of value on its body, its beast pill was only the size of a fingertip, worthless, and even the mouthpart it was most proud of was useless, and it was not as hard as mortal iron...
"As a demon beast, you don't even have anything of value in your body, where is your dignity!"
Yi Qian glanced at the dead mosquito monkey on the ground with disdain, and was about to put away the Lijin sword and continue to move forward, when his expression suddenly moved, and he shrank back and retreated into a low bush.
After a while, a rumbling sound faintly came, Yi Qian's eyebrows raised, and a behemoth appeared in his field of vision!
