Chapter 10 Escape
In Lingyuan Mountain, Song Changxin was pacing softly in the small building holding the messenger talisman he received early in the morning.
"The patriarch sent a message that Qing Ming came down the mountain early in the morning. This boy has not returned even after it is almost dark. Could it be that he has sneaked back to Mujiao Town again."
——
I don’t know how long I have been running to the west. At this moment, Song Qingming was a little exhausted. Seeing that there seemed to be no one behind me, Song Qingming found a big stone to hide behind, and meditated to restore his spiritual energy.
Unexpectedly, not long after he sat down, a ray of red light flew straight towards his head. Song Qingming quickly sidestepped and used the Fierce Sun Sword in his hand to release a ray of fire towards the enemy, but he did not want to be caught by the cyan shield erected by the opponent. .
Looking at the black-clothed robber not far away, Song Qingming really had a headache. This guy had been chasing him for several hours. From afternoon to dusk, every time Song Qingming thought he had gotten rid of the other person. At that time, it didn't take long for him to appear behind him again. Every time the black-clothed robber caught up with him, he was not in a hurry to keep him, as if he was deliberately toying with him slowly.
Song Qingming suffered a lot of injuries all over his body at this time, and there was not much spiritual power left in his body. Although there was only one robber in black chasing him, Song Qingming also understood that he was poor in both cultivation and fighting ability. There are too many people here.
A few times he was caught up in a fight, and without exception he was completely suppressed by the opponent. His own cultivation level was far inferior to this person's, and it could be said that he had no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation.
After Song Qingming ran north for a while, the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. The old man just said that running separately would increase the chances of the two of them escaping successfully, but what he pointed out to him was obviously a dead end.
To the north is an uninhabited direction, and further ahead is the Yunwu Mountain where monsters are infested. There is no chance of seeking help if you run here, and you will definitely be overtaken. At this time, Song Qingming felt as if he had entered the Yunwu Mountain.
And if he ran to the main road to the south, it would greatly increase the chance of survival. He didn't think much about it for a while, but he still followed the old man's advice. The old guy planned to let him Help attract the opponent to divide his troops, so as to increase his chances of successfully escaping.
After another hard fight, the exhausted Song Qingming fled to the edge of a cliff. In front of him was a bottomless cliff, and behind him were the robbers in black chasing him. In his current state, if he jumped off this unknown cliff rashly, he would probably die faster.
Looking at the slowly approaching danger behind him, just when Song Qingming was a little desperate, the corner of his eyes turned to a place covered by vines not far away from the cliff, revealing a dark hole. , like a cave abandoned by a large bird. Now that he was desperate, he didn't think much and jumped along the steep cliff to hide in the cave.
"Boy, you have been running for so long and you can't run anymore. Do you think I can't find you by hiding here? Don't worry, I will give you a good time."
Only a moment after Song Qingming entered the cave, the arrogant voice of the black-clothed robber came into the cave.
The name of this black-clad robber is Zhu Wu. He was originally an ordinary cultivator in Wuling County. Since he was chased by his enemies and fled into Yingchao Ridge more than ten years ago, he simply joined this entrenched group. The notorious loose cultivator organization in the northeastern part of Weiguo was engaged in this murderous and swindling business.
After tasting the sweetness of hunting other casual cultivators to easily obtain spiritual stones, Zhu Wu has been out of control since then. The cultivation resources gained from this life-saving activity have also given him five spiritual roots. The qualifications have been successfully cultivated to the peak of the fifth level of Qi refining.
Zhu Wu slowly walked into the cave. He released a small lighting fireball with his left hand, and carefully opened a five-element shield with his right hand to protect his whole body. The cave was not big, and he could only walk more than a dozen After a few steps, we have reached the end of the cave.
Zhu Wu looked around and felt a little strange. He had turned around several times and still couldn't see where the prey was hiding.
"Is this kid hiding there?" Just when Zhu Wu was about to look up at the top of the cave, a cyan black iron sword struck his head with an angry shout. It was Song Qingming who was hiding on the top of the cave.
Faced with Song Qingming's full blow with a sword in both hands, Zhu Wu did not dare to be careless. He quickly took out an iron shield magic weapon and put it on his head. After the two magic weapons clashed, there was a loud noise and sparks flying everywhere. , until a burst of dust fell on the mountain walls on both sides, the two of them took a few steps back to stabilize their bodies.
Zhu Wu still firmly guarded the entrance of the cave, looking at Song Qingming inside the cave with a contemptuous sneer.
"This is a good burial place. It is quiet and remote. It is not easy for the Jin people to find it."
Faced with Zhu Wu's verbal provocation, Song Qingming did not answer, but just released his hands. The spiritual power wrapped around the black iron in his hand, and the black iron sword roared softly, pierced through the air and stabbed Zhu Wu quickly,
Huh, this kid is starting to get sick and seek medical treatment. With his current level of cultivation, he can use his spiritual power to control the magic weapon. Isn't this giving his own magic weapon to his opponent?
Seeing the Black Iron Sword flying in front of him, Zhu Wu took a few steps back and easily stopped it with the flying sword in his hand. Just when he was about to put Song Qingming's Black Iron Sword in his bag, he suddenly discovered There was a burst of earthy yellow light under his feet.
"This? Damn, where did the dungeon talisman come from?" Zhu Wu turned to look at Song Qingming with some annoyance. He saw Song Qingming placing his hands on the ground, and the spiritual power in his body instantly activated the dungeon buried under his feet. symbol.
The Dungeon Talisman is a medium-grade defensive talisman. It can use spiritual power to instantly wrap nearby clods of soil and trap the target for a moment. Zhu Wu was quickly wrapped into a ball by the surrounding clods of soil.
At this moment, Song Qingming, who had been waiting for a long time, exhausted his remaining spiritual power, pushed the huge ball out of the hole with both hands, and kicked it down the hundred-foot cliff outside the cave.
Seeing the huge earth ball slowly disappearing from his eyes, Song Qingming slumped down at the entrance of the cave and let out a long sigh of relief.
This spiritual talisman was originally given to Song Changxin because he was afraid that the two of them would encounter monsters when they went to Funiu Mountain. Unexpectedly, it was used when he came back alone. Song Qingming had fought several times before but failed. Opportunity to use to escape. It wasn't until I saw this cave that I had an idea and used my only trump card to create this trap.
After about a stick of incense, a somewhat embarrassed figure turned over from the bottom of the cliff and jumped into the cave. At this time, the cave was already empty. The collapsed mountain soil after the battle has even blocked half of the cave entrance.
This man is Zhu Wu, who was attacked by Song Qingming and fell off the cliff before. But at this moment, he no longer has the confidence and arrogance he had before. The black robe on his body is also damaged a lot, and there is a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth. , the furious eyes were full of ferocious color.
"You are really careless. This damn boy, when I catch you, your life will be worse than death."
Zhu Wu jumped onto the cliff, and after releasing a spiritual induction, he said a few words With harsh words, he quickly chased towards the depths of Yunwu Mountain
Not long after Zhu Wu left, there was a sound of earth cracking in the originally silent cave on the edge of the cliff, and a thin figure slowly broke out of the earth from the deepest mound in the cave. Song Qingming pretended to escape deep into Yunwu Mountain not long ago.
Song Qingming knew that he was covered in injuries and had very little spiritual energy left in his body. The dungeon talisman would certainly not be able to trap the opponent for long. If he ran away in this state, there was a high probability that he would still be caught up by the opponent. .
In the past, the opponent had always been able to accurately grasp the direction of his escape. He must have unique tracking skills. Now that he is in this state, he has no trump card. Once he catches up with him again, it will really be a chopping block. of fish.
Faced with such a crisis situation, Song Qingming, who had calmed down, decided to gamble his luck. He first ran towards Yunwu Mountain for several hills, deliberately leaving some traces of escape along the way.
Then he returned halfway to the cave where he was originally hiding, lurking in a pile of soil that collapsed after a fierce battle between the two. Fortunately, he was lucky this time, and he deceived Zhu Wu who was anxiously chasing after him.
After removing the clods of soil on his body, Song Qingming carefully walked out of the cave entrance. After confirming that there was no danger nearby, he quickly left the way he came.
In the early morning one day later, Song Qingming, who had escaped, appeared outside Lingyuan Mountain. Looking at the extremely familiar mountain-protecting formation in front of him, his heart that had been hanging for the past two days finally calmed down. Although he suffered huge losses this time, losing the Black Iron Sword that had been with him for almost ten years, and even using the dungeon talisman given to him by his uncle Jiu, fortunately, he finally returned safely.
Going through the formation, I found a path to go back to my small bamboo house and take care of my injuries first. He really didn't want the mortals of the family, who relied on the protection of their immortal masters, to see him in such a mess.
As he got closer and closer to his house, he unexpectedly spotted a tall figure standing in the yard outside his house.
"Uncle Jiu, I."
Seeing that Song Qingming's body was covered with scars, Song Changxin raised his hand to interrupt Song Qingming's words and told him to go back to the house to heal his wounds.
Half an hour later, under Song Changxin's careful care, Song Qingming took a few blood-restoring pills, and his face turned rosy. The wounds on his body were all fine after Song Changxin's careful treatment.
The trauma caused by the magic weapon on his body is not serious, and he will recover quickly. However, the flipping method overdrafted the spiritual power in the body and somewhat damaged his vitality. It will take at least a month or two to recover patiently. .
After careful inspection and confirmation that Song Qingming had no other serious injuries, Song Changxin finally felt relieved after having been worried for the past two days.
While Song Qingming was recovering from his injuries, he slowly told Song Changxin word for word about the life and death crisis he encountered yesterday.
“These gangsters in Yingchao Ridge are becoming more and more lawless. They actually dare to come to our Qinghe County to kill people and buy goods. It seems that monks have occasionally disappeared for no reason in the past year or two. Most of them have something to do with them. I want to hurry up and get rid of this. Notify the clan leader of the news.
Fortunately, you stayed calm this time and came back safely. There is danger everywhere in the world of immortality. Machine, you must grow up quickly so that you can have more ability to survive."
After listening to Song Changxin's teachings, Song Qingming nodded thoughtfully. After all, he was still in such a mess this time. The price was too low. If I had had the advanced level of Qi refining at that time, it would have been the other party who should have escaped, and there would not have been this crisis.
The path of cultivating immortality is inherently about the weak and the strong. The weaker you are, the more dangers there will be.
