Chapter Ninety-Two: Heaven
When an inner monk wanted to propose to the little junior sister to go down to explore the path first, the little junior sister didn't think about it and shouted, "Follow me." And he jumped. The monk who followed closely behind her hurriedly followed her, pointing at the place where the cliff ladder was borrowed, and leaping down. After Wang first saw the way down the cliff, he jumped down with the team.
When the little sister jumped about halfway through, she stepped on a dead stump, which may have been loosened due to its age, and could not stand the force, and fell down.
The little junior sister's figure suddenly fell sharply, but she was not in a hurry, and a lower grade spirit weapon sword that had already been prepared in her hand was inserted into the cliff wall under her feet like lightning, revealing the hilt and the small half of the sword body, and re-erecting a cliff ladder.
At the moment when the little junior sister stumbled and fell sharply just now, the two green-capped vultures that had been hovering, thinking that there was an opportunity, pounced on the little junior sister. Prepare to knock her into the air in one bite, and if you hit her, you can knock her to the ground from a high altitude. But the little junior sister quickly put a little on the hilt of the sword that had just been inserted, and swung two fireballs with both hands to blast towards the vulture.
The two vultures quickly dodged, but turned slightly slowly, and were still struck by the flames of a wing tail. The vultures were screaming as they were burned, and they flapped their wings vigorously to shake off the flames. But no matter how much they shivered, the fireball burned more and more, burning along the tail of the wings and then to the whole body. The two vultures fluttered in the air a few times, screamed a few times and then fell silent, turning into two fireballs and falling.
After the little sister sent out the fireball, she ignored the two vultures and still jumped down on her own. The Inner Monk, who followed closely above her, wanted to help the vultures when they attacked. But seeing that she stabilized her figure and shot out with a slight fall, while hitting the vulture, her body still jumped down, as if nothing had happened, and she couldn't help but secretly admire.
When the little sister was about to reach the bottom of the cliff, she saw that there was a tree blocking the cliff ladder, and a golden sword swirled downward, and then swept her sleeves, and then cut off all the branches and bird nests that grew on the cliff wall, and swept them away, revealing a piece of grass with a radius of more than ten zhang.
Everyone quickly followed down to the ground under the cliff, concentrated on the grass, and felt that the aura in this forest was really strong, and it was not inferior to Hua Tianfeng.
At this time, the little junior sister had already seen the nearby terrain clearly, and used her divine sense to investigate the movements within a radius of ten miles. The neighborhood is full of dense forests, countless towering trees, and clumps of weeds and wildflowers among the large trees. From time to time, there were a few roars of beasts and birds, and the sound of chirping insects.
Except for a few third-level demon beasts hidden in the cave, and a few young birds in the demon bird nest on the top of the nearby tree, no major threat was found. Seeing that the monks of this sect had arrived, the little junior sister said to everyone, "You guys go forward in groups, I'll go first." No matter what everyone said, the little junior sister jumped into the forest and disappeared without a trace.
Seeing this, the monks of Huatian Sect formed groups of three or five, according to what had been discussed before, and scattered into the bushes, each choosing a different direction to move forward. Wang Xian also arched his hand to Sun Lei and the others, and said, "Take care, fellow Daoist, I'm leaving." So he went out into the forest alone.
Sun Lei looked at his departing back with puzzled eyes, thinking, the little junior sister has the cultivation of the tenth layer at the end of the qi refining stage, everyone knows that this Wang Xian also dares to go treasure hunting alone like the little junior sister, is it really fearless?
After Wang Xian got out of everyone's sight, he rode on Chi Xia Peng's back. Chixia Peng flapped its wings and soared into the air, passing through the gap in the top of the tree, grazing over the woods more than ten feet high, flying from south to north.
Wang Xian thought about it, if he relied on himself to move forward on the ground in the forest, he could only say that he would stay overnight, and if he hurried with all his might, he would have to rest at night. Moreover, it is easy to alarm a lot of cave monsters when traveling at night, it is easy to get lost, and it is easy to be ambushed by others, so it is generally not possible to rush at night. And Bai said that he was moving forward at full speed, and he could travel about 300 miles in one day, which was faster than the speed of a horse.
In this north-south longitudinal zone that is about 1,000 miles long and about 300 miles wide, the divine consciousness that he cultivated at the end of his qi refining period can only cover a radius of about fifteen miles. In this way, if the consciousness were to sweep all over the ground, it would take about fifty days.
This is not counting the time of the battle between the spirit grass and the demon beast, and the time of searching for the underground tunnel. This is also the reason why many monks form teams to clear a single area, because there is not enough time to walk alone.
However, flying on a spirit bird has an advantage, the fourth-level spirit bird can travel thousands of miles and fly at night. However, the spirit bird's divine consciousness must always be released with all its strength, and if it is explored within a radius of thirty miles, the loss will be greater.
Once you encounter a demon bird attack during the day or night, you must flee while fighting and fall to the ground as soon as possible. As long as it reaches the ground and relies on the trees to block, the demon birds generally will not attack on the ground in the woods, so as not to chase and escape inconveniently. In this way, it is necessary to fly close to the treetops, and even if it is easy to encounter the nest of demon birds, it is easy to hide in the forest.
The first thing Wang took was to ride Peng and fly. In the trial ground, Chixia Peng can exert the mana of his fourth-level spirit beast, flying at the limit speed, and can travel 1,600 miles. In this way, in about six days, the ground part can be searched. It will take another three or four days to search the northwest area underground, and return with all his strength on the last day, so that there will be time to search the three districts in ten days, which is three times more than others.
There are three districts underground, the reason why Wang Xian chose to search the northwest area is to avoid the southern area close to the formation gate, most of the monks set out from the southern area, and rushed to the northwest or northeast region while searching.
Soon, two days passed. For the past two days, Wang Xian has been flying on Chi Xia Peng's back. In the past, when he was in a hurry, Wang Xian rarely let it fly at the limit speed. But this time the situation was special, Wang first prepared an excess of fire spirit stones and fire spirit food for it, and also used the power chapter in the beast control recipe to replenish its mana from time to time.
During the flight, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, Wang Xian performed the Hidden Spirit Trick and used his divine sense to control Chixia Peng's divine sense. Chi Xia Peng sent out a divine sense to investigate, and when he encountered spiritual power fluctuations, he would reflect the movement into Wang Xian's divine consciousness.
Sometimes, a monk who was in a hurry felt a divine sense sweeping in the sky, and saw a fourth-level spirit bird flying, or heard the sound of Chixia Peng spreading its wings not far above the top of the tree, so he didn't go to investigate carefully, just thinking that it was a common demon bird passing by in the sinkhole.
On the contrary, many third- and fourth-level demon birds in the air, either with their eyes or with their noses, detected the breath of human beings, and pounced on Wang Xian from time to time, wanting to capture him for a good meal. There were even a few times, and the demon birds attacked together with the strength of the birds.
At one time, there were seven or eight fourth-level demon birds and white-billed crows, volleying and besieging them, Wang Xian was also unceremonious, and a handful of golden needle talismans and lightning were scattered, one for each person, and they were attacked head-on. Many rooks have had their wings cut off, their feet stabbed, or their chests pierced. For a moment, there was a wail in the air, and the downed crow feathers flew all over the sky.
Another time, Wang Xian woke up hundreds of third-level demon birds, red-feathered hummingbirds, in the nest on the top of the tree in front of him, and they were all over the sky with red shadows. Wang Xian couldn't fight many birds, so he didn't dare to fight hard, so he hurriedly found a gap above the top of the tree and fell to the ground to dodge. But these hummingbirds are small in size and extremely fast, and they quickly chase through the forest.
Wang Xian saw that Chi Xia Peng was inconvenient to fly in the forest, and he couldn't fly these hummingbirds, so he had to temporarily collect Chi Xia Peng and use the light shield to resist. When the hummingbirds were almost all around the mask and pecked at the mask, Wang first threw out an ice pick talisman.
I saw that the ice picks and frost covered the body more than a dozen feet around, covering most of the hummingbirds. As the hummingbirds flapped their wings and flapped the icicles, the frost soon fell mercilessly over them.
Suddenly, a large flock of hummingbirds and sky bird feathers were frozen into ice birds and ice feathers, and they fell to the ground and fell into ice slag. The few other hummingbirds that had escaped the icicle technique were so frightened that they no longer dared to fight, and fled in all directions. Wang Xian did not delay, and immediately drove Chixiapeng to continue on the road.
