After walking for three days, Ning Tianchen and his party entered a mangrove forest.
The trees, trunks and leaves here are all red, and even the soil on the ground is light red.
Huang Mengyu looked at the route map prepared in advance and explained: "Everyone, there is a special spirit beast in this forest called the Winged Spider."
According to his description, the Winged Spider is essentially a spider-like soul beast, but unlike all other types of spiders, the Winged Spider cannot spin silk and has a certain ability to fly.
There is a wing membrane on the inside of each spider leg, which allows them to glide through the sky for a long time when fully opened.
However, in this mangrove, the winged spiders are not very old. As long as they do not jump onto the tree trunks and are discovered by them, and pass through close to the ground, they will not encounter any danger.
The lone wolf objected to his decision, "It's too dangerous, why not go around it?"
Winged spiders are soul beasts that live in groups. When a winged spider in the group discovered their traces, everyone was greeted by an attack by a large number of winged spiders.
Huang Mengyu flipped through the map carefully, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not. There are powerful spirit beasts near the mangroves. Not only will you have to walk far to get around here, but you will also encounter uncontrollable risks."
The profession of being a leader is inherited from the family.
After the father retires, he will hand over all the maps in his hands to his son and pass them on from generation to generation.
For example, most of the routes recorded on the map have never been traveled by the guide. They only know that this road is on the map.
Huang Mengyu is no exception.
When two guides have a dispute, to ensure safety, only one person's idea can be adopted.
Before entering the forest, it had been arranged that Huang Mengyu would lead the way for the first half of the journey.
Although Lone Wolf raised objections, seeing that the other party insisted on doing so, he did not insist on his opinion.
In the mangroves, most of the trees are as thick as ten people's arms, and there are even taller trees.
This is definitely a giant forest.
Walking under the tree, the gum secreted from the trunk is constantly dripping.
It falls on the body, especially the hair, and is difficult to clean.
This is the realm of soul beasts, and Ning Tianchen and others cannot use soul power barriers, so they can only put their coats on their heads to avoid being covered in glue all over their bodies.
"This road is really difficult." Chen Huayu complained.
The roots of the big tree were extremely developed, and they were literally walking on the roots at the moment.
"When we come back, I will take you on another path." Lone Wolf reminded, and everyone's mood eased a little.
Not long after, everyone rested under a big tree to replenish their strength.
When Ning Tianchen raised his head, he noticed a winged spider above their heads.
The winged spider pointed its butt towards them and did not notice their whereabouts.
At the same time, Ning Rongrong also raised her head, and Ning Tianchen quickly covered her mouth to avoid making any noise.
Then use the sound to form a line to inform others of the situation above your head.
Huang Mengyu was nervous for a while and quickly made a gesture to leave.
Lone Wolf frowned.
Since we want to pass through this mangrove forest, why not choose to go around it from the outside instead of crossing it from the inside?
Now was not the time to argue, they had to leave quickly.
Suddenly, someone stepped on a dead branch, and the sound attracted the spider's attention.
On the tree trunk, the winged spider turned its body, and a few eyes searched for something in the woods.
It was only a matter of time before he was discovered.
Not caring much, Ning Tianchen shouted: "Xiao Ao, flying mushroom sausage!"
As he spoke, his right hand was compared to a sword finger, and a sword energy shot out from the fingertips, piercing the body of this winged spider.
The flying mushroom sausage is made and distributed to everyone.
After taking it, a pair of wings appeared behind everyone.
With the improvement of strength, the duration and speed of flying mushroom sausage have far exceeded the original.
Ning Rongrong then provided the enhanced soul skill, "Nine treasures are famous, and the second is speed."
Everyone soared into the sky, flew over the forest, and then flew out of the mangrove forest.
Winged spiders can glide through the air, but they do not have the ability to fly themselves. You can avoid them by flying high enough.
Huang Mengyu patted his chest and said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, I can fly, otherwise I would be in trouble."
There are also flying spirit beasts in the sky above the forest, and they cannot fly too far unscrupulously.
Lone Wolf lowered his hood and looked at Ning Tianchen and the others.
He could see that the configuration of these eight people was quite reasonable, and their tactical prowess exceeded that of any soul hunting team on the mainland.
He couldn't help but wonder about the origins of Ning Tianchen and others.
……
After escaping from the mangrove forest, everyone took a temporary rest in a safe place.
Huang Mengyu compared the map in his hand to determine his current location and plan the next route.
Hiroshi Aoi looked a little unhappy, "Why didn't we go around the mangrove just now?"
Huang Mengyu quickly explained, "There are a lot of swamps outside the mangroves, which are more dangerous."
While flying in the air, they also saw the swamp. But the mangroves were not surrounded by swamps, so they could plan a more flexible route instead of just like that.
Fighting in the forest can easily attract the attention of other spirit beasts.
If there is a group of soul beasts nearby, you will find that just after some soul beasts have been eliminated, other soul beasts are chasing after them. It is simply endless.
Huang Mengyu knew it was his mistake and quickly assured everyone that there would be no more problems in the future.
While resting, Ning Tianchen noticed Lone Wolf's movements.
He seems to be the same as Zhang Heng in not wanting to communicate with outsiders.
Suddenly, Chen Huayu laughed loudly, "I have broken through level 70."
Everyone was attracted by his voice.
Lone Wolf also looked over with curiosity.
Judging from Chen Huayu's performance, it is obvious that he does not look like a wealthy person, and he must not be very old.
To be able to break through level 70 at this age, the other party must have extraordinary origins.
Ning Tianchen said: "While we are on our way, let's see if there are any suitable soul rings."
With Chen Huayu's strength, it is most suitable for the seventh soul ring to absorb a soul ring that is about 50,000 years old.
While speaking, Ning Tianchen looked at Zhu Zhuqing and Oscar.
The two of them were not far from level 70 and happened to be in the forest. After breaking through, they hunted the soul rings on the spot.
……
Douluo Continent, inside the Qibao Glazed Sect.
Ning Tianchen and others have been away for a year, and no news has been received yet. Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Fengzhi, the envoy sent by the Xingluo Empire is scheduled to enter the palace tonight, you have to go there." Gu Rong reminded.
As the emperor's master, Ning Fengzhi assisted Xue Qinghe in his rise to power.
If there had been no war, now would have been a good time for the Qibao Glazed Sect to develop and expand, but now it has all been delayed!
He would give the Star Luo Empire a good look, and that would be the devil.
To this day, the war on the border still shows no signs of stopping.
Ever since the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect's powerful Soul Douluo took action on the battlefield, all the assets of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect in the Star Luo Empire have been frozen, and they were even included in the sanctions list by the Star Luo royal family.
Fortunately, they had the foresight to let the Hong family realize their property in advance, otherwise they would not know how much money they would lose.
Ning Fengzhi said in a deep voice: "I will enter the palace in the evening."
"Uncle Gu, is there any news from Tianjian Sect?"
Gu Rong smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Ning Tianchen and Ning Rongrong did send a letter back before setting off, but they only said that they were about to go to sea, not where they were going.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
The disciples of the Intelligence Department of Tianjian Sect are still guarding Hanhai City, and no news has been received.
Chen Xin was not worried, "Sect Master, as long as Tian Chen is here, Rongrong's safety will not be a problem. This is their experience, and it is probably not easy to leave before the end of the experience."
"We don't have to worry. If they come back, we will get the news as soon as possible."
At first, Ning Fengzhi was very worried.
He guessed that after Ning Tianchen left, Tianjian Sect would fall apart or even change hands. But as time went by, under the governance of Dugu Bo and the elders, the Tianjian Sect became prosperous.
Moreover, the two major sects still maintained high-frequency contact, and Ning Fengzhi felt relieved.
After a pause, Gu Rong added: "Fengzhi, I also found out something important."
"The Wuhun Palace has recently been in close contact with several major kingdoms and principalities. In recent days, several major principalities and kingdoms have deployed heavy troops in border areas."
"Once the gun goes off, I'm afraid there will be another war on the border."
"I speculate that this is most likely the arrangement of Wuhun Palace. Since the war between the two empires, they seem to have been too low-key. It is not ruled out that they also want to get a share of the pie."
Since Xue Qinghe came to power, the Tiandou royal family's control over several major principalities and kingdoms has weakened a lot. With Ning Fengzhi's intervention, these grand dukes and kings did not turn against the royal family.
Now, as soon as these people came into contact with Wuhun Palace, they began to station troops on the border, clearly intending to expand the war.
Ning Fengzhi finally understood why the Star Luo Empire sent envoys to Tiandou City when there was no winner on the battlefield!
"The entire border is at war, and the war will inevitably escalate to a full-scale continental war. At that time, who among Tiandou and Xingluo can get the support of Wuhun Palace will determine the outcome of the war."
Ning Fengzhi punched the armrest of the seat with an extremely ugly face, "Wuhundian is waiting for a price. No matter which side wins, they will get the maximum benefit."
The most important thing is that the Tiandou Empire cannot say that they cannot influence the decisions of several major kingdoms and principalities.
Otherwise, once the Star Luo Empire finds out about it, these kingdoms and principalities will rebel, and the Tiandou Empire will be besieged on all sides, and will be close to being destroyed.
Chen Xin analyzed: "The Star Luo Empire sent envoys to prove that they are not ready for a full-scale war. The actions of several major kingdoms and principalities may also become our bargaining chip."
"We can use 'total war' as a threat to force the Star Luo Empire to come to the negotiation table and end the border war. But the prerequisite is that we can convince these kingdoms and principalities to withdraw their troops."
Ning Fengzhi could also think of this, but the problem was that these grand dukes and kings did not listen to Xue Qinghe's orders!
……
Ning Tianchen, who was far away on the Sun and Moon Continent, was unaware of the situation on the Douluo Continent.
In a few days, they helped Zhang Heng successfully obtain the sixth soul ring.
With the experience in the mangrove, Huang Mengyu did not have any problems in the subsequent route arrangement.
It is worth mentioning that Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing also broke through level 70 during this process.
The seventh soul ring is the most important soul ring for a soul master, and Osko decided to absorb a god-given soul ring.
After all, the Sausage Spirit is very special, and few food-type spirit masters have reached the Seventh Environment Realm. Oscar was also confused about the choice of the seventh soul ring.
The god-given soul ring will only provide him with the seventh soul ring that is most suitable for him, saving him the trouble of looking for it again.
In addition, Zhu Zhuqing also decided to absorb the god-given soul ring.
She is a dark type martial spirit. There are very few dark type soul beasts with high age and are difficult to find. It is most suitable to absorb the god-given spirit ring.
As for Chen Huayu, attack-type soul beasts like Meng Tianying are also very good to him.
According to Huang Mengyu, among these rogue sky eagles, there are soul beasts that are more than 40,000 years old. He can help him hunt down a suitable one when the time comes.
The Rogue Sky Eagle is a flying spirit beast. Their tribe lives in a valley in the forest.
Arriving at the valley, Hiroshi Aoi was a little worried, "Are you sure that when we fight the rogue Sky Eagle, we won't cause attacks from other spirit beasts?"
Huang Mengyu assured: "Dear guest, the Rogue Sky Eagle is a very aggressive spirit beast. How can there be other groups of spirit beasts near them? Even if there are, they are only three or two big cats and kittens."
Aoi Hiroshi nodded heavily, faced Ning Tianchen, cupped his hands and said, "Please, I will give you a generous gift from the Aoi family when I get back."
When he helped Zhang Heng hunt for the soul ring, Feng Xiaotian did it alone.
But Rogue Sky Eagle is different. This is a group of soul beasts, and it would be unavoidable to deal with it alone.
Ning Tianchen took over the conversation and arranged: "Xiaotian and I will be the main attackers. Yudie and Caidian will protect Mr. Huang and Rongrong. Zhuqing and Fatty will scout the surroundings to ensure that no other soul beasts will come to cause trouble. Xiao Ao will be there at any time." Provide sausages and join the battlefield if possible. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Heng and Aoi Hiro.
"We follow the arrangement." The two said in unison.
Ning Tianchen nodded, "Master Cang, please support us at any time. I will throw out the soul beast that suits you. Remember to last the last hit."
"Zhang Heng, please go and replace Fatty. Let Fatty and Cang Family Master stay together. They both need soul rings."
The two took orders.
As for the lone wolf, Ning Tianchen's arrangement for him is very simple, "You can protect yourself, and I won't send anyone to protect you. If you want to help, you can do it at any time, but don't do it a disservice."
The lone wolf pressed his hood and responded: "I will watch your back for you."
……
Entering the canyon, everyone followed Ning Tianchen's arrangements and maintained their formation.
This canyon is huge, and there are eagles circling overhead from time to time.
Ning Tianchen stepped on the Seven Killing Sword, while Feng Xiaotian activated his flying soul skill. The two of them approached the rogue Sky Eagle at the same time.
The few rogue sky eagles hovering in the sky only have a few thousand years of cultivation and are not the targets they are looking for.
Only by attacking these guys and attracting the attention of the Rogue Sky Eagles can we attract more senior Rogue Sky Eagles.
Ning Tianchen casually slashed out a sword energy, and a rogue sky eagle was seriously injured and fell to the ground with a long hiss.
The huge movement quickly attracted the attention of the rogue eagles.
On the cliffs of the valley, eagles spread their wings and roared towards the two of them.
The number is so huge that it covers the sky!
Of course, Ning Tianchen and Feng Xiaotian's goal is not to kill these rogue Sky Eagles.
Eight soul rings, black, black, red, and red, shone under his feet. The powerful pressure emanating from the soul rings immediately drove back soul beasts that were less than ten thousand years old.
Among this group of rogue sky eagles, there are only about thirty of them that are over ten thousand years old.
But faced with such pressure, ordinary ten thousand year soul beasts can only keep their bodies from falling and cannot fight at all. (End of chapter)
