Chapter 720: Returning Home (Part I)
The wind is blowing, and this is a common thing in Leno.
Forgotten Wild, as the name suggests, is "Forgotten Wild". But in fact, it is like a haunting nightmare, haunting the hearts of countless immortal souls of the Great Wilderness.
The sky was gray, lifeless and heavy as lead stones hanging deep on the earth. As far as the eye could see, there was not a single cloud in sight, and the gray mist was whined and whined by the violent ghostly wind, like a roaring beast. Behind the mist, clusters of colorful glow loomed, and the eyes of a pair of birds and beasts peeked in the darkness.
The boundless swamp stretched out beneath the void, with no end in sight.
All sorts of unknown weeds grow wildly in the swamps, often more than a person tall, and the wind blows like a colorful tide. The grass roots are deep in the black muddy water, bubbling and rippling everywhere. If you look closely, it is easy to find that in the turbid water, there will be a touch of strange faintness from time to time.
Occasionally, you will see a few lone trees towering into the sky, like a lonely giant watching the sky. There are usually large patches of gray-green moss under the trees, which release deadly methane gas all day long.
Diao Xiaosi finally found a piece of dry land the size of a palm under a tung tree, and then washed and peeled a silver-kissed crocodile that he had just hunted.
Elle sat on her knees by the bonfire, took a skewer of leg meat that Diao Xiaosi had grilled, and elegantly put it to her lips and took a bite of it. The tender fragrance mixed with the essence of Haoyang Divine Fire filled the mouth with fragrance, quickly dispelling the residual cold qi in the body. And the meat of the silver-nosed crocodile is just right, which is a rare delicacy. And it also has the effect of dissolving toxic mist corrosion.
The Great Swamp of Forgotten Wilderness is full of dangers and terrible murderous opportunities everywhere. Even a group of small insects swimming in the dirty and smelly pool water are likely to gnaw a scattered immortal to the point of not even a scrap in an instant.
So here, you must be on guard at all times and not be careless in the slightest, even when you are resting.
In this way, it is self-evident that the consumption of mental energy and skill, not to mention the need to be distracted to resist the ubiquitous and pervasive poisonous fog and methane gas.
"Chu Wei is away from that bastard, kill Lao Tzu!" After eating half of the silver-kissed crocodile leg meat, Diao Xiaosi finally recovered some of his spirit, and cursed viciously, but there was always a little helplessness and depression in his tone.
That day in the Deep Snow Immortal City, he joined forces with Chu Weili, Dongfang Qiming, and Yu Piao, and the four lights were combined to successfully refine the sea. Thinking that Shen Zhongxue, the city lord of Shenxue Immortal City, was secretly making a big move, almost losing his life, Diao Xiaosi had a grudge to take revenge, and he did not hesitate to loot the treasure house of the City Lord's Mansion.
But when he returned happily, he was surprised to find that those guys were all gone, and when he grabbed the mountain master and asked, he found out that it was Chu Wei who rushed to save his wife without saying hello.
Dongfang Qiming said that he was going to find Luo Shuihan to drink, so he patted his ass and followed.
Yu Piao suddenly felt that it was not interesting to stay here alone, so he planned to go home and report to his father verbally.
In the blink of an eye, Diao Xiaosi found that there were only two left, Ya Lauder and Shan Ye, with a fluffy puppy that could breathe fire and bite people.
How can that be? These three bastards still owe me a meal!
Diao Xiaosi couldn't help but be furious, and immediately left the mountain paste in Shenxue Immortal City to wait for Cheng Shenzhu, and he followed Ya Lauder to catch up, and vowed not to give up if he didn't take back the food money.
But after two days on the road, Diao Xiaosi began to regret it.
From the Deep Snow Immortal City to Lethe Wild, you have to cross most of the Nine Shadows, and there is a teleportation circle on the way that can be carried, but many places can only rely on the sword to fly, but it will inevitably become an unusually eye-catching moving target.
Whether it is the goblins, mountain monsters, fierce birds and beasts, or those extremely vicious goblin bandits, and even many scattered immortals who seem to be righteous and awe-inspiring, they will suddenly burst out to intercept them anytime and anywhere, not to mention the unpredictable storms and ice currents without warning, and the rain is raging......
Along the way, Diao Xiaosi endured all the difficulties of ninety-nine eighty-one, and finally arrived in Liye without danger.
Who knew that after entering the Forgotten Wilderness, he realized that compared to the little bitterness he tasted on the road, the bad luck was about to begin.
Fortunately, the little fourth master is not a vegetarian, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and there is Elleder from the side to help, and he has gone deep into the forgotten field for tens of thousands of miles, and the sword blade is pointed directly at the wind forest volcano.
Just three days ago, his merits successfully broke through the realm of the sun and the moon and his relatives and promoted him to a spirit immortal.
At this moment, Diao Xiaosi finally had a little confidence.
Now the yin and yang in his body are combined, water and fire are fused, and the Tao is full of immortal yuan and has reached a higher level. Above the spiritual sea, a sense of the sun turns into a red sun, a yin rhyme condenses into a silver moon, and there are faint stars around to generate thunder and lightning, as if it is the initial prototype of the universe.
Diao Xiaosi once heard Cheng Shenstick boast that the supreme realm of scattered immortals is to create their own heaven and earth in the body, and then master the secret meaning of the thirteen nothingness, until lawlessness transcends all things.
Diao Xiaosi doesn't expect to become an immortal and a Buddha, and he has never had that kind of great ambition, but his ability is high, and he can kill it casually when he encounters a guy who doesn't like his eyes, which is undoubtedly a very refreshing feeling.
On the way to Lethe Ye, he kept hearing all kinds of gossip.
For a while, some people said that the Lonely Marquis and the Lonely Marquis died violently one after another, and for a while, it was rumored that Fang Zhengrong, the master of the Zodiac Gate, announced his retirement, and soon after, even the news of the sudden disappearance of Lin Shouma, the overlord of the Yuanhai Sea, was also reported.
For a while, all kinds of rumors and rumors were rampant, but soon some people were surprised to realize that although these rumored characters had different origins and identities, they all participated in the Battle of Forgotten!
Unsurprisingly, even greater panic spread like a plague in the Nine Shadows, and the survivors of the Battle of Forgotten Wilderness were all in danger, hiding or seeking refuge with relatives and friends, lest rumors of a violent death or disappearance one day fall on them.
Diao Xiaosi knew that this must be a good thing done by his mother. Her simplicity and rudeness combined with the conspiracy of Shanglong Cangli are definitely the nightmare of all the Great Wilderness Overlords.
However, this is no longer relevant to him, and what he wants to do most now is to go home early after finishing his work.
This should be the last thing to be done before he leaves the Void Wilderness.
"Xiaoya, you are very smart, help my brother think about it, why did the remnants of Forgotten Ye take Qi Hongyuan away through Huang Qingyan's hands?"
The leg meat of a silver-beaked crocodile fell into his stomach, and Diao Xiaosi felt much more comfortable. It's a pity that there is no wine, otherwise it would be wonderful.
"I'm a stupid girl, how can I be smarter than my brother?" Elle smiled like a hundred flowers, elegant but not arrogant, gorgeous but not ostentatious.
She paused, her eyes flashing with a touching brilliance and continued: "I'm a little strange, if Huang Qingyan just wants to take away Qi Hongyuan, why did he slaughter the Ming Dao Sect completely? In other words, Qi Hongyun must have some kind of unknown secret on his body that is valued by the remnants of Forgotten Ye, but he is unwilling to leak it to the outside world, so he can only let Huang Qingyan kill the killer. ”
"Makes sense, keep talking. ”
"The next thing is very simple, to infer that Qi Hongyuan is still alive, as long as she finds her mystery, it will naturally be revealed. Of course, rescuing Qi Hongyuan is by no means an easy task. But since my brother went out in person, he could be caught. ”
Diao Xiaosi laughed and said, "Xiaoya, when did you learn to pour ** soup to people?"
Ya Lauder smiled and said nothing, Diao Xiaosi cut a piece of roasted brown meat with a knife and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it with relish for a long time, and then said: "I saw my mother in Molushan, but she refused to go home with me." ”
Ellender's eyebrows twitched slightly, and her clear eyes stared at Diao Xiaosi without stubble.
Sometimes, silence is the best audience.
"These days, I've been thinking about what to do next. Everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't be forced, even if she is my mother. ”
Diao Xiaosi looked at the ashes of the gradually extinguished bonfire and said, "Since she likes to stay in the Void Wilderness, then I'll go back alone." Anyway, without her, Lao Tzu has been living a very moist life for more than 20 years, why do you have to stick a hot face to a cold ass?"
Elleder slowly held Diao Xiaosi's hand, looked at him and said, "If you stay, I will stay." If you want to go, I will go. ”
Diao Xiaosi couldn't help but clasp Ya Lauder's ivory-carved fingers, and said, "Okay, when Qi Hongyuan is rescued, let's grab Cheng Shenzhu and go to the Banbianmen Inn, and then go home happily together!"
Elle let him hold her jade hand and smiled, "Does my brother know that the Half Gate Inn actually refers to the Scrolls of Babel?"
"What?!" Diao Xiaosi was taken aback, staring at Elleder's pretty face in amazement, until he believed that she wasn't joking.
After a long time, he calmed down and relaxed, and asked Elleder, "This is what Cheng Shenzhu told you?"
Ya Lauder bowed slightly, but was quite surprised by Diao Xiaosi's reaction.
Based on her understanding of Diao Xiaosi, she originally thought that this guy would most likely be furious and scolding, but she didn't know that he would be so calm-hearted.
"Niang Xipi, Lao Tzu has long had a premonition, and there is no truth that comes out of the mouth of that bastard. ”
Diao Xiaosi noticed the surprise in Ya Lauder's expression, and said hatefully: "If there really is a half-gate inn, for thousands of years, how can those Great Wilderness Golden Immortal Nine Shadow Overlords fight to the death for a Tongtian Ancient Scroll?
He slammed his fist on the ground and said, "Okay, let's go and find the old ghost when we go back!"
As he spoke, Diao Xiaosi's heart was really depressed to the extreme, knowing that this was another pit dug by Cheng Shenstick, but in order to return to the world, he had to jump. What's even more annoying is that the dragon is moving forward with no head or tail, and God knows where he is hiding.
Moreover, he is one of the top ten masters of the Nine Shadows, and if he wants to get the Tongtian Ancient Scroll from his hands, he will undoubtedly ascend to the sky.
When I was annoyed, I suddenly heard Elleder say slowly: "Brother, don't worry, I'll help you!"
