Chapter 167 Chapter 164: Forging ahead and ambush
It’s night,
In the wilderness, a bonfire was lit, and the flames licked the wood, making a crackling sound.
Chu Zhou sat cross-legged, his eyes still closed, his breathing weak, like bones and dead wood, and he could hardly see much life.
At this moment, the cultivation level of the Immortal Realm has shown its ability. Those who eat Qi can live as long as gods. The cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment Realm can really go without food for a long time.
The reason is to live without grain!
Beside the bonfire, Fan Tiehu and Wei Fangjie were busy, spinning a long sword on the fire, letting the flames roast a fat and groomed hare.
From time to time, grease dripped, and flames flashed with sparks.
Fan Tiehu opened the bag of salt and spices he brought, twisted a little, and spread them carefully, trying to spread them evenly.
The scent overflowed, and the seductive Yi Huai almost drooled. Although he still didn't speak, he kept urging with his eyes.
They didn't have Chu Zhou's ability to eat grains. Naturally, they needed to eat after walking for a day. Even though this hare was fat, it wasn't enough to share.
Only Xu Cheng took out a handwritten book and was reading it by the light of the fire.
"Basic Alchemy" needs to be studied by Qing Jing Lao Dao, so he brought the first volume of "Basic Talisman and Seal Script" and was reading it with great interest.
You have to admit that although Xu Cheng is not the fastest among his brothers, he is the one who loves to learn the most and has the most research spirit.
In Chu Zhou's opinion, if it takes ten years, Xu Cheng, the second senior brother, will definitely not be as good as the others. But if the time is extended to a hundred years, there is no doubt that he will be able to accumulate a lot.
The moon is crescent in the sky and the stars are shining brightly.
Cicadas are chirping all around, the wind is blowing in the mountains and fields, and bonfires are burning, and the smell of meat is overflowing. It is a harmonious scene.
But at a certain moment, time seemed to freeze.
Wei Fangjie stopped turning the grill in his hand, Fan Tiehu's hand spreading spices paused in the air, Xu Cheng looked away from the book, and Yi Huai raised his head.
Their eyes were all looking in one direction, their eyes burning and bright.
If one had to promote the power of Xuan Zhen Guan's secret martial arts, the most outstanding thing was not the strong body tempered, but the extremely sharp perception.
After cultivating to a certain level, you can really strip off certain senses and simply replace them with other senses. Actions will be unimpeded, and fighting will also be unimpeded.
And those here are all the best in this way.
So, far away, they spotted the enemy.
Xu Cheng looked around, put down the book in his hand, and was about to stand up, but a pair of big hands pushed him back again.
Yi Huai's eyes turned around on the hare several times, and finally stood up angrily. A gust of wind blew by, and he had disappeared.
In the distance, in the darkness, the people in black who were sneaking here also stopped. They all felt a chill on their backs and a strong sense of crisis.
"You shouldn't have come!"
A voice sounded faintly, and the people in black almost jumped up, venting their inner strength wantonly and attacking the surroundings.
It's no use, it's really no use!
One hand formed a dragon claw shape. There was no fluctuation of internal force or true energy, but it was wrapped in a strong wind, sometimes appearing and sometimes disappearing in mid-air, suddenly in the east, and suddenly in the west.
The speed was unbelievable, and every time it appeared, it would bring a handful of blood and spread it all over the night sky, followed by howls of misery.
Towards the end, the screams became less and less until they disappeared, leaving only the strong smell of blood that carried away in the night wind, and the chirping of cicadas that became louder and louder.
Beside the bonfire, Yi Huai appeared again, unchanged from his previous position. Only the bright red stain on his hands indicated the killing that had just occurred.
However, as soon as he lowered his head, his good mood completely disappeared.
Because the roasted hare had already been eaten. Wei Fangjie gnawed one leg, Fan Tiehu also gnawed one leg, and even Xu Cheng ate the meat slowly.
All that's left is the bones!
Meat, gone? !
Yi Huai's eyes widened, and the emotions he showed were all accusations and curses. If he could speak, the curses would definitely be very dirty.
Seeing that he was about to run away, Wei Fangjie hurriedly comforted him. He took out a prepared pheasant and put it on the fire to roast. Fan Tiehu started to sprinkle salt and spices again.
As for Chu Zhou, he was still sitting cross-legged, as if he was unconscious and as stable as before.
……
Another day,
Between two mountain peaks.
Chu Zhou still closed his eyes and walked barefoot on the mountain path, while the four of Yi and Huai were guarding the four sides.
I don’t know when, but figures in black appeared on the top of the mountain. Like ants, they carried and carried the boulders to the top of the mountain.
Until a certain moment, the people below seemed to have reached their position, and the leader shouted loudly.
As a result, huge boulders rolled down one after another. Along the way, trees were broken and rock walls collapsed, accompanied by a "rumbling" sound that echoed among the mountains.
This kind of movement naturally disturbed Xu Cheng and the four people below, but seeing that Chu Zhou didn't stop, they didn't stop either.
Then, a long roar came out, and the four of them all showed their hegemonic forms. Each of them had a powerful body several feet tall, and they were shrouded in the brilliance of mana.
Xu Cheng belongs to the wood, and is as green as new. When he steps, his strength is like climbing vines, wrapping the fallen stones layer by layer.
Yi Huai was like fire, blazing like flames. He sprinted, punched out with both fists, and dropped large rocks, all of which were smashed into pieces.
Fan Tiehu was as sharp as gold, and the sword energy he threw out was like a rainbow, and the rocks he touched were broken into two halves.
However, Wei Jin Fangjie's soil was as thick as a mountain, and the water splashed by a silver gun dance could not penetrate it. It also brought up the thickness of the mountains and rocks, and all the big rocks that came into contact were peeled off.
Four people, four styles, already showing their differences. Although the men in black took advantage of the location and brought in large rocks in a steady stream, the effect was almost nil.
But Chu Zhou, who was protected by four people, still moved forward, as stable as before.
The men in black could only watch, watching them disappear on the mountain road and into the distance.
However, just as they were frustrated, a figure had already blocked their way down the mountain, grinning at them.
The laughter made them feel chilled and frightened in their hearts.
……
Another place,
In the forest, dozens of people lit fires, burning out bursts of green mist. A strong wind blew through them and swarmed in one direction.
Wherever he passed, green mist filled the air, the grass on the ground was withered and yellow, the trees were decaying, various small beasts and wolves were running around, and even some beetles and earthworms were desperately burrowing into the soil.
From this we can see how terrifying the poison of the green mist is!
In the direction filled with green mist, five people were walking one step at a time.
They had already discovered the changes here, but they did not expect that Wanxiangzhai would even use such large-scale poisoning tactics.
However, Chu Zhou's steps did not stop and his direction did not change, so they could only move forward.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
However, this does not mean that they have nothing to do.
Xu Cheng walked to the front of the crowd, gathered a little magic power on his fingertips, and kept making gestures.
After failing twice in a row, I was sweating on my forehead before I succeeded. I saw a strong wind on the ground, and actually blew the green mist back.
——Spell, summoning wind!
Naturally, Chu Zhou would not only teach the methods of immortal cultivation, but not the magic methods. However, they did not have the support of the voice of the great avenue, so it was not easy to learn, and it was impossible to dabble too much.
Basically, it's just a matter of choosing what interests you to learn and practice, and it's something that happens after practicing martial arts.
Xu Cheng is the only one who knows this 'Wind Summoning Technique', so he is not familiar with it yet.
Unexpectedly, it actually had an effect at this moment, and it was a big effect.
Upwind, the people in black who were still watching the show saw a strong wind blowing strangely. The diffuse green mist was about to reach its peak, but it suddenly stopped and blew back again.
It was a real hectic situation, with the armor removed, many people died, and others escaped.
As for Chu Zhou, the frequency of his steps did not change from beginning to end.
Only on that expressionless face, there seemed to be a faint arc at the corners of the mouth.
……
Another place.
Empty land.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Give them all to me!"
A short, fat man in black yelled angrily in mid-air, and the long sword in his hand struck out one after another like a real sword light, attacking like a storm.
But Yi Huai's sword was also like a violent storm, not giving in at all, and even the strength around him was like an undercurrent whirlpool, shattering the sword energy that was approaching him.
Although the sword energy was like a fish that slipped through the net, leaving blood marks on his body, his strong body was able to withstand the sword energy.
And Yi Huai himself was clinging to the short, fat man in black like a gangrene attached to his bones.
Although he couldn't beat him, he just wouldn't let it go.
He even risked his life from time to time, but the result was that even as a half-step master, he couldn't defeat him in a short period of time.
On the ground, hundreds of men in black rushed forward, but Fan Tiehu and Wei Fangjie stood in front of them like an iron wall.
No matter how windy or rainy he was, he remained unmoved.
There were hundreds of masters, and there were a lot of innate warriors. Every one of them was really angry, and their anger was free of charge, but they still retreated step by step.
Not to mention, there was Xu Cheng guarding Chu Zhou from behind and did not take any action.
To be honest, the men in black are like the tide, and they are the big ships cutting through the waves. They only move forward with one mind, no matter how strong the wind and waves are, they still never stop.
……
Wanxiangzhai.
In the luxurious room belonging to the master of Wanxiang Zhai, the old man with long eyebrows stood there for what seemed like a long, long time.
In front of him, on the desk, information came one after another.
Visible to the naked eye, as the number of papers increased and the actions failed one after another, the gloom on his face deepened almost at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Later, I even felt a little hesitant and a little anxious.
At a certain moment, he suddenly asked: "Do you think my choice was wrong?"
On the side, at some point, a middle-aged man in purple silk appeared. He glanced at the information on the desk and couldn't help but frown slightly.
However, in the face of the Wanxiang Zhai Master's doubts, he smiled: "Our choice is certainly correct, and it will not be wrong. It's just that their ideas have been led astray!"
The owner of Wanxiang Restaurant immediately became interested and asked: "Oh, what do you mean?"
I almost thought I couldn’t catch up, huh...
