Chapter 83: Fireflies Have Light (21) (Accumulate 1000 Collections and Updates)
Eight thousand miles of clouds and moons, and 200,000 miles of road is chasing clouds and catching the moon.
There are fifty-six star hours in a day, and there are no sixteen star hours when the rest time of man and beast is combined.
The group climbed over the rolling mountains, crossed the hundred-zhang wide river, shuttled through the barren hills and deserts within a radius of thousands of miles, and also trekked the wetlands in fear.
Although there is no sea in the Four Elephant Realm, there is an endless lake, and you can also experience what it means to ride the wind and waves while sitting on a simple bamboo raft or wooden boat made by yourself.
In this way, there are no more "landlubbers" who can't swim.
There are more than 200 people in the group, and more than 100 of them are fledgling rookies, and some of them naturally can't stand it.
But when they are injured, the instructors will take care of one or two, but they will never pay attention to the team that has fallen behind.
And a person stays in this desolate and dangerous land, and knows the result with his toes.
It turned out that from the time everyone took that step, the selection of the survival of the fittest had already begun.
In fact, everything that has been experienced now has always been carried out under the limits of what the Qi Refining (Blood Moving) Sixfold Realm cultivators can bear.
All you need is a little harder, more courage and perseverance, and you can surpass this limit and surpass yourself.
Changsheng was also constantly breaking through herself, so she soon discovered the meaning of walking these 200,000 miles.
Because the human race never gives up, it can earn a way out of this reckless land.
Even if the strength is low, you must have the determination to move forward bravely and not give up easily.
In the world of the four elephants, there is no need for cowards.
Therefore, along the way, the momentum of the rookies is getting stronger and stronger day by day, just like the weapon that has finally opened, showing its edge.
However, Changsheng was observing people like Bai Slaughter Tiger, Yun Junyue, and Xuan Sang who had already participated in the hunting season several times.
As they got closer and closer to the Demon Realm Forest, their temperament became more and more calm day by day, with a sense of heaviness and silence.
If you don't understand, you have to ask, so Changsheng asked the White Killing Tiger.
And Bai Jihu looked at her with some surprise and some complexity: "No wonder my great-grandmother agreed to my aunt and grandmother to come with us, we misjudged you in the past." β
"I shouldn't have told my aunt and grandma, but now that you've noticed it, it's okay to talk about it.
Along the way, the teachers are constantly instilling in everyone the idea that everything they are experiencing now is just an appetizer, and the big meal is to come.
So the rookies are now eager to go to the Demon Domain Forest in the next second, so that they can show their talents, right?
Hehe, we were so naΓ―ve at the beginning.
There are also a lot of fierce beasts on the territory of the human race, and the levels are all at the Yellow Rank, which is just right for Qi refining/Blood Realm trials, why do you want to go to the Demon Domain Forest to take a practical class?"
Changsheng's heart sank.
The White Slaughter Tiger looked up at the four "moons" in the sky, and his deep voice seemed to suppress a sense of grief and determination.
"Because the hunting season is not only the hunting season for humans, but also the hunting season for fierce beasts and the hunting season for demons.
Not only do the rookies of our human race have to take practical lessons, but the cubs of the fierce beasts and demon clans also have to learn how to catch food. β
The Demon Domain Forest is a huge powder keg, if the human race will only keep taking, and the fierce beasts and demon races can only keep losing, this powder keg will blow up the entire Four Elephant Realm sooner or later.
Under the nest, how many eggs are gone?
"When you arrive in Southern Xinjiang, you will know that the Terran hunting team cannot exceed ten people at most, even if the army, except for the beast tide period, it has always been a team of ten people. β
If they want the fierce beasts and the demon clan to stay in the demon domain forest "in peace", the human race can only accept this cruel fact after considering the pros and cons.
The essence of the hunting season is actually the same as the "100-year gambling contract".
So, when you know that you are not only a hunter but also a prey, hunting becomes less important.
Because only the one who survives to the end of the hunting season is the winner.
......
After more than 40 days of driving, when I finally saw two peaks as high as a thousand zhang Cheng V-shaped straight into the sky, even the teaching of the Xuandu Academy, the expression on his face was solemn.
Because through the V-shaped valley between these two mountains, the end is the southern frontier of the Xuanwu Dynasty adjacent to the Demon Domain Forest.
When the original owner left southern Xinjiang, it was his uncle who flew directly to Xuandu without stopping all the way with a large team of guards to control the flying magic weapon.
The original owner had no impression of what was in front of her, but she had read a lot of books at the Xuandu Academy, and the teachers of geography had also taught her.
Therefore, Changsheng learned from the memory of the original owner that the two peaks in front of him were originally one.
But in the chaos of the three clans 60,000 years ago, a duel between a peak powerhouse of the human race and the power of the demon race affected this mountain.
The demon clan died tragically, and the mountain was also split in half by a sword of the human powerhouse.
Later, people named both of these two mountains, the name on the left is "Demon Slaying", and the right is called "Evil Slayer".
The V-shaped valley between the two mountains of slaying demons and slaying evil is less than ten miles long, and only separated by this less than ten miles of road, the scene on the southern side of Xinjiang is very different from the hinterland of the Xuanwu Dynasty.
The former green mountains, streams and lakes have been replaced by scorched earth, black rocky beaches and hideous cracks in the ground.
The rookies who came to southern Xinjiang for the first time looked incredulous, as if they were in heaven one second and fall into hell the next.
The sudden thinning of spiritual power in the air made everyone, especially Dao Xiu, feel as if it was a little difficult to breathe.
And Changsheng looked at everything in front of him, thinking that the end of the world would be like this.
If you have to describe it in words, it is only eight words - the mountains and rivers are broken and devastated.
But in fact, if you think about it carefully, in the war between the three clans 60,000 years ago and 10,000 years ago, even the core of the Four Elephant Realms was broken, causing the Four Elephant Realms to directly fall from the Middle Thousand Realms to the Small Thousand Realms.
Nature will always tell us in a way that makes living beings repent of their mistakes, and what it means to "take the blame on ourselves".
......
The southern frontier of the Xuanwu Dynasty was no more than 20,000 li wide from north to south, but it stretched for 3 million li from east to west.
In this narrow strip, there are a total of eighty-one large cities, forming three other Terran defense lines in addition to the Four Elephant Life Array, isolating the Demon Forest from the hinterland of the Xuanwu Dynasty.
Among them, Licheng, located in the extreme east of southern Xinjiang, is outside the Four Elephants Birth Array, the first line of defense of the human race, and it is also the destination of Changsheng and his party.
And there is also the birthplace of the original owner Yun Qishu, and the happiest memories of her short life are there.
But at this time, Changsheng didn't have the heart to think about "going home" and "facing his relatives".
Because compared with the previous road of nearly 180,000 miles, the "short" 20,000 miles in southern Xinjiang is more difficult.
First of all, the spiritual power has become thinner, which has a greater impact on Dao cultivation, if you don't use spirit stones or spiritual pills, the time for Dao cultivators to recover their cultivation is obviously several times more.
Secondly, southern Xinjiang sits on the most important battlefield of the three ethnic groups, and there are traces left by powerful and powerful people everywhere.
And most of these traces contain the Dao intent that the great powers have comprehended, even if tens of thousands of years have passed, some powerful Dao marks have not been erased by time.
For example, the two peaks of slaying demons and slaughtering evil spirits seen before, there are sword cultivators here all the year round to worship and comprehend.
But not to mention the low-level cultivators of the sect, even the teachings of the Zhuji/Gravel Realm, and even the Jindan Zhenren, did not dare to look at it at will to comprehend, for fear that the ability was not enough to hurt the soul.
And some of the traces left by demons and fierce beasts are especially unfriendly to the human race, and they may be pitted by accident.
The closer you get to the Demon Domain Forest, the more powerful Dao marks you encounter, and even spatial cracks appear.
Therefore, this journey is really cautious.
Even the streamer sensed the danger of this place and woke up from the Divine Channel.
Fortunately, along the way, the teachers are all familiar, and Changsheng has a few white slaughter tigers around him to take care of him, which can be regarded as a thrill.
When they saw the walls of Licheng, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Licheng is located in the extreme east of southern Xinjiang, corresponding to the Dousu of the Xuanwu Seven Residences.
Dousu is the head of the northern basalt snake, composed of six stars, and the shape is also like a bucket, so it is called Dousu.
On the outskirts of Licheng, the Xuanwu Guard Fighting Camp, which is only a hundred miles away from the Four Elephants Shengsheng Array, is one of the seven barracks on the first line of defense of the northern human race.
A group of more than 200 people from the Xuandu Cultivation Academy did not directly enter Licheng, but came here to report first under the leadership of Jiaoxi.
Only then did Changsheng learn that the "practical class" organized by the cultivation academy was actually coordinated by the army.
......
There were more than 300 cities in the Xuanwu Dynasty that had the ability to set up cultivation schools, and these schools would also organize students to participate in practical classes during the hunting season.
And these cultivators who are between the sixth~ninth level of breaking through the Qi Refining (Moving Blood Realm) and are under the age of thirty are all called academy monks when they participate in the hunting season.
Naturally, the monks of the other cities also rushed to the southern Xinjiang in batches, just like the Xuandu Academy.
When Changsheng and his party arrived at the Dousu camp, there were already more than a hundred teams assigned here, and the number of people in each team was about two hundred.
After that, there were many more teams assigned here.
However, according to the previous number of people, this hunting season, there will be nearly 200,000 monks from the academy who will come to report on the camp.
In addition to the Dousu Camp, there are six similar camps on the first line of defense of the Alien Terrans in the Four Elephants Life Array, and the number of students assigned is about the same as that of the Dousu Camp.
One million and four hundred thousand academy cultivators, which sounds like a lot, but this number is scattered to the periphery of the demon domain forest, and I am afraid that even two miles alone will not be able to do it.
The population of the entire Xuanwu Dynasty is only one billion, and these 1.4 million scholars are the best among the younger generation of the Xuanwu Dynasty, and they all have the potential to grow into the mainstay of the Xuanwu Dynasty in the future.
It can be said that they are the future of the Xuanwu Dynasty.
Although the high-level of the three clans acquiesced to "life and death", no one wanted their side to suffer heavy losses, and all ethnic groups naturally "crossed the sea with eight immortals and showed their magical powers".
On the Terran side, the "practical classes" of the academy monks have always cooperated with the army.
In order to improve the survival chances of rookies hunting for the first time, there will be experienced veterans as guides and instructors to lead everyone into the Demon Forest.
Of course, what you can live depends on your understanding. And whether they can get out of the demon domain forest alive depends on their respective means, and no one can guarantee it.
However, in view of the rule that high-ranking ranks cannot meddle in battles between low-ranking ranks, the so-called experienced "veterans" are only reflected in age and experience, and their cultivation can only be below the foundation/gravel realm.
......
After entering the Dousu camp, the instructors left the team directly and did not know where to go.
The Changsheng group was taken to a clearing by a soldier dressed in khaki leather armor, and then ...... Nobody cares.
And apparently, they are not a special case.
Because in this open space, there are people at a glance, and there are almost more than 10,000 people densely packed, and it looks like the monks of the academy who arrived today.
The arrival of Changsheng and his party did not attract the attention of others, because in the middle of the clearing, there were many people who were having a good time.
But the outermost dozen or so soldiers who didn't know whether they were standing guard or watching, not only did not stop them, but they even watched with great interest...... If you don't look at the sneer on the corner of their mouth.
Standing in a corner, Changsheng secretly stabbed the White Killing Tiger.
"What is this for?
Bai Yunqiao and Xuan Zheng, who were also rookies beside her, also pricked up their ears.
Bai Jihu glanced at the three of them helplessly, especially Changsheng, "Aunt Changsheng, this is also a part of the practical class, it stands to reason that I can't tell you." β
Changsheng couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Don't tell your aunt and grandma, I'm really annoying now." β
It stands to reason that she should rest now, let her eat well, take a good shower, and sleep well.
But the people and things here in the special Four Elephant Realm have been breaking the "convention" in her cognition.
Xuan Sang smiled and said in a low voice: "Killing the tiger's eldest grandson, do you have a hole in your brain?
Even my squad assignment isn't random, don't tell me you don't feel it.
Now that you are talking to the main master, I think you are looking for a cut!"
Bai Slaughter Tiger's body stiffened, and then he was really going to cry stupidly, why can't he talk brainily.
"Aunt Changsheng, I was wrong. β
Although Aunt Changsheng has been staying in Xuandu, she is a real "princess" of Licheng, and she does not mix with water.
Although there are also many Jindan/Split Land Realm monks in this Dousu camp, the real controllers are their own fathers and brothers.
Even these relatives of theirs have a safe arrangement in secret, let alone the righteous lord in front of them.
"It's also a dismount, but it's more about the rookies' hearts.
Although it is said that all the academy monks will be dispersed, and the veterans who have at least ten years of military experience will be randomly teamed up, and the standard configuration is that five academy monks and five veterans will form a team.
But there are a lot of random ways to do this.
For example, these thorns who don't know how to restrain now, eighty percent of the veterans randomly assigned are soldiers, how arrogant they are now, how honest they will be in the future, and this world will teach them to be good individuals. β
There is also a tacit understanding that it is impossible for people born in royal families or some genius children to really be randomly assigned.
As soon as Changsheng heard Bai Slaughter Tiger's words, he understood, "teach students according to their aptitude", she understood.
Fortunately, it didn't take too long, and after almost half a star, this batch of more than 10,000 people was "randomly" assigned.
The rookies only felt relieved, after all, there are really a lot of teenagers in the second stage of middle school, and there are a lot of small frictions in just this half star.
But the old students who have participated in the practical class a few times are very surprised one day, this time the end is a little light, you must know that in the past, at least you have to stand until dark.
Bai Slaughter Tiger, Yun Junyue, and Xuan Sang listened to the whispers around them, and at the same time turned their heads to glance at Changsheng.
In addition to a kind of "I know you don't know, but I don't tell you" tsundere psychology in my heart, I also want to hug my thighs.
Changsheng didn't know that this time the "dismounting" ended so easily because someone was afraid of tiring her.
She didn't see the "star eyes" of the three White Slaughter Tigers, and she was comforting Xuan Zheng at this time.
After all, this "random" assignment, there were six people in their line, except for Xuan Zheng, the other five people were actually "randomly" together.
Changsheng controlled the corners of his mouth that he wanted to twitch a little, looking at the degree of "randomness", it was definitely not something that the original owner's father or a steady big brother would do, this is too obvious.
According to the memory of the original owner, it is speculated that those who will do this kind of thing also have this right, and eighty percent are the original owner's eldest nephew, Yun Junyan.
Sure enough, the elders who were supposed to join the other five veterans in the team, the veterans didn't see it, but they liked to mention a beautiful man-Yun Junyan.
Yun Junyan, 215 years old, physical cultivation, cultivation of the "Four Elephants Creation Technique", cultivation is the same as his father Yun Qitai, both are in the Split Earth Realm.
However, Yun Qitai is the fifth level of the Split Earth Realm, and Yun Junyan, who is fifty years older than his father, is the seventh level of the Split Earth Realm.
This phenomenon of Lao Tzu being inferior to his son or even his grandson in cultivation is very normal in the cultivation world.
After all, everyone's qualifications, understandings, and opportunities are different, and it is not new for latecomers to prevail in the cultivation world.
However, such a cultivation at such an age also means that Yun Junyan is a true genius.
Even more powerful than his grandfather Yun Gu'an, he is expected to advance to the Mountain Realm at the age of three hundred, reaching the highest level that the creatures of the Four Elephant Realm can reach today.
And this eldest nephew, who is almost 200 years older than the original owner, is also the family member who is more impressive in the memory of the original owner, in addition to his father and two elder brothers.
First, since the original owner was six years old, except for his father who had only been to Xuandu once and his second brother who disappeared as soon as he ran away, the eldest brother and eldest nephew took turns to come to see her at least every year.
The second is that her eldest nephew's appearance is really high.
Yun and Xuan's families are not ugly, but the appearance of the original owner and Yun Junyan is the best among them.
If you say that the appearance score is 100 out of 100, both of them can get a full score on their appearance.
It's just that before Changsheng came, the original owner only played eighty, while Yun Junyan could fight one hundred and twenty, and the main difference was in the temperament of this body.
The eldest nephew Yun Junyan, it is not an exaggeration to say that "a gentleman is like a jade and the world is unparalleled".
The third is that the second brother of the original owner complained to his sister.
"Little sister, I found that you and Jun Yan must have talked, and you two are almost the same as the shells you put on yourself.
It's just that you can't compare to our eldest nephew, that guy has real black sesame stuffing inside, and you're white sesame hard filled with black sesame seeds. β
That's what it is.
So on the surface, the eldest nephew who looks like a gentleman is like a jade, but in fact he is a big-bellied black?
Although Yun Qi'an seemed cynical and unreliable, the original owner had always believed in what he said, but this time he was a little disagreeable.
Jun Yan's eldest nephew is so many gentle people, how can he be pretending to be like her?
But the original owner heard her mother say that her second brother was brought up by Jun Yan's eldest nephew.
said that it was the uncle and the eldest nephew, but in Yun Qi'an's heart, I was afraid that Yun Junyan's eldest nephew was more like his father, and it was naturally impossible for him to speak ill of Junyan.
That Yun Junyan is this person......
Yun Qishu herself is a different person, but she doesn't necessarily like people like herself.
Just look at Bai Jihu and Xuan Sang, who have a good relationship with her, you can see that they are really straightforward and free people.
So the original owner, who originally felt very good about Yun Junyan's eldest nephew, because of her second brother's complaint at this time, the favorability instantly dropped from friendly to average.
And who is Yun Junyan, that is not only the seed player that Yun Gu'an focuses on cultivating, but also the most valued child of the entire Yun family, no better than the future head of the Yun family.
The original owner's little thought was in front of him, just like the transparent.
Yun Junyan is not Yun Gu'an who "won't hurt if you don't see it", and the original owner is young, and in three or two sentences, the troublemaker Yun Qi'an was tricked out.
However, as for the follow-up, the original owner doesn't know, because Yun Qi'an ran away and went to the Xiaguang Realm.
Changsheng remembered these things in the memory of the original owner, and then looked at the super beautiful man in front of her, she subconsciously tensed her nerves.
Damn, these memories of the original owner are too deep, I don't go out of my way to look at them, I can't remember them at all, and they only broke out when it came to things, which is really powerless to complain.
Changsheng previously thought that the relatives on Licheng's side would be very easy to "solve", hehe, it's really naΓ―ve, this face is so swollen.
After the other four talked to Yun Junyan, they were taken to join the veterans, and now only Changsheng and Yun Junyan were left in the room.
But it's all on this one, even if it's from the heart, I won't be in a hurry.
Changsheng's fingers secretly picked at the palm of his hand, revealing a smile, "Jun Yan, I haven't seen you for a long time, everything is okay at home?"
The last time we met was two years ago, the so-called eighteen changes in the female college, two years, there are changes to be normal.
However, Yun Junyan left a lot of shadows on the original owner, so it is normal to be nervous.
And Changsheng is really a little nervous, so he doesn't have to pretend.
Yun Junyan looked at the little aunt in front of him coldly, looking at the changes that were really not small.
Listening to the teaching of the leader, before leaving Xuandu, the lord lost his temper.
I just don't know if I have the confidence to cultivate for promotion or if I am really pressed hard, but the words I said can be described as sworn and righteous.
Yun Junyan casually glanced at Changsheng's subconsciously clenched hand, and there was no wave in his heart, but he said softly on his face: "Everything is fine at home, grandfather, father and my mother have been looking forward to my aunt's return, and now I finally get my wish."
Auntie, let's go home and talk about it, everyone in the family is waiting. β
After speaking, Yun Junyan got up and led Changsheng to the back of the living room.
"This is our family's yard in the camp, I wonder if my aunt still remembers?"
The Immortal God moved, and quickly looked through the memories of the original owner.
"I remember when I was a child, I followed my mother and ...... Father has been here. Are we going to take that short-distance teleportation array in the secret room of the study back to the palace?"
Yun Gu'an was too busy with military affairs, and in order to accompany his wife, who was not in good health after giving birth to his second son, Yun Gu'an, who was already a fifth-order array Daoist at that time, arranged a short-distance teleportation array in the military camp to facilitate travel between the palace and the military camp.
The domineering president who throws hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn to smile for Bo Hongyan is a scum in front of such Yun Gu'an.
However, any teleportation array, even if it is only a short-distance teleportation array with a directional teleportation and a distance of only one hundred and ten miles, as long as it involves spatial attributes, it cannot be built by one hundred and eighty thousand spirit stones.
In addition to the two cross-border teleportation arrays in the Four Elephant Realm, there are naturally intraboundary teleportation arrays.
In Xuandu, there is a teleportation array that leads directly to Southern Xinjiang and even the other three dynasties.
There is no requirement for cultivation to take the teleportation array in the realm, but even members of the royal family, except in an emergency, would rather stay on their legs than sit in this teleportation array that can reach the destination in the blink of an eye.
Because it's too expensive to sit on.
......
The short-distance teleportation array arranged by Yun Gu'an is a small teleportation array, and it can only teleport up to three people at a time.
Because it was a directional teleportation array, there was no need to adjust the coordinates, and after the two of them stood up, Yun Junyan took out five medium-grade spirit stones and embedded them in the hollows on the teleportation array one by one.
This was the first time Changsheng had ridden the spatial teleportation array, and he was both curious and a little nervous.
Then she saw that as Yun Junyan embedded the spirit stones one by one, the formation patterns on the teleportation array also began to light up one by one.
After the last spirit stone was embedded, the entire teleportation array began to operate.
Then Changsheng "saw" an unforgettable scene, only to see that with the operation of the teleportation array, a tunnel-like passage gradually took shape.
However, this scene is not seen with the naked eye, but directly appears in the immortal divine consciousness.
Changsheng subconsciously knew that this was the space-time channel constructed by the teleportation array.
Before she could react, the teleportation array flashed with blue light, and the teleportation began.
The back was thrown into the space-time passage by a gentle force, and there was a strong suction in front of the passage, and Changsheng, who accidentally didn't stand firm, rolled out and went out.
And Yun Junyan didn't expect that there would be distractions and would not stabilize his body when he rode the traditional array, and when he saw this, he couldn't maintain the perennial expression on his face for the first time.
