Chapter 156 Conflict
Deep in the fog.
A team is trekking through the fog-shrouded jungle.
They had already crossed the old territory of Eagle Falling Peak, and were ordered to plant a magic stake fifty miles forward, and then go in the opposite direction. The task would not be completed until the stake was connected with the stakes left by another team of elders.
The direction that Xiao Huanxi's team was assigned today was to head towards Ten Thousand Bones Forest, where they would most likely conflict with the other disciples.
The leader was Zhu Jian, the great disciple of the inner sect. He held a compass-shaped magical weapon and held it in front of him to clear the way. He was obviously the most confident.
Kang Shu and Yuan Qing'er each protected the left and right sides. These two inner disciples were also very proud and did not hang out with the outer disciples.
And like Hu Shun, gold, wealth and water surround Xiao Huanxi.
They were only in the early stages of Qi training, so they followed the master closely so that they could easily hug him at any time.
No matter how cruel this master is, he is their only support after leaving Eagle Falling Peak.
They were rather envious of their elder brother Ren Xingyun, because Ren Xingyun was right under Xiao Huanxi's crotch. If anyone said who was the safest, it seemed that Ren Xingyun was definitely the one at the moment.
Even if there are foreign enemies, Xiao Huanxi must be dealt with before he can attack Ren Xingyun.
Lu Ye and Shu Chitu fell at the back, barely able to see Xiao Huanxi and others.
Because the two of them hated Xiao Huanxi last time, they were placed directly in the back. This is actually a dangerous position.
The two of them are in the same boat, so they can only look around with caution.
Lu Ye unfolded the picture of fish and dragon in the sea of consciousness, and found that there were no monks on the left and right, so he tightened on the outside and loosened on the inside, and walked steadily.
On the contrary, Shu Chitu was very frightened. He looked around, as if he was ready to drill into the ground at any time.
"Fifth Junior Brother, don't be too alarmed," Lu Ye whispered, "Master is here, those little ones dare not jump out."
Shu Chitu had an ugly look on his face. Smiling, he looked forward, knowing that the mist in the mountains could not only affect the fluctuations of mana, but even the sound of words could not be transmitted far.
He rubbed his hands and whispered.
"Fourth Senior Brother, it's just because the master is here that I'm afraid..."
Apparently that night a few months ago, he escaped and ran between Xiao Huanxi's legs. He was very frightened. There are still shadows left.
"Senior brother," Shu Chitu said apologetically, "I haven't asked you yet, did the master not do anything to you that night?"
"Senior brother, am I a coward? Stop it, Master said, "Get out." My mind went blank and I left. When I left the cave, I realized that you were still inside. I wanted to knock on the door but I didn't dare, so I could only go back to the cave and retreat every day, practicing the magic there. "
Lu Ye chuckled and shook his head.
"Senior brother, what can happen to me?"
"You have misunderstood the master. The master just wanted to give us a reward, and there was no harm in it."
"The master rewarded you that day. The Earth Technique gave me another jar of body-training oil, and I retreated. Nothing happened..."
"Senior Brother, I have just been in seclusion for two months before I came out. It’s a cave... But I have reached the first level of Qi training, so I am lucky.”
Shu Chitu was surprised at first.
"Congratulations, senior brother..." His expression softened, "Senior brother has made such rapid progress!"
"As long as senior brother was not poisoned that night, I will feel relieved."
>He looked at the people in front of him and saw no reaction. He made sure that his voice would not be heard and quietly said to Lu Ye.
"Fourth Senior Brother, let me tell you a piece of news. You just came out of seclusion but you didn't know it."
"We both escaped, but the Second Senior Brother was miserable. He has been killed by the master. Picked it..."
"Just now, Second Senior Brother looked at us all very fiercely. He must have complained that we went to Master's place at night, but nothing happened, but he was unlucky."
"We have to stay away from Second Senior Brother today, right? If he suddenly pulls his crotch when facing the enemy, maybe we will be tricked to death..."
Lu Ye said, no wonder he was so smart and could sense Hu Shun's faint murderous intention towards him.
And thinking about it carefully, Hu Shun looked haggard, his eyes were red and his ears were red, his skin was scorched, and his figure was much thinner.
It turns out that the root is here.
Forget it, dead Taoist friends are not dead poor Taoists, it’s good that the second senior brother has been picked, at least I will be safe.
As for the safety matters Shu Chitu reminded, it also makes sense.
Out in this vast mountain, without reliable teammates to protect your back, who can trust others with your life?
The sect rules stipulate that disciples are not allowed to fight innocently to death, but outside the mountain gate, it is not difficult to borrow a knife to kill someone, or even kill them yourself, as long as you do it secretly and not be discovered.
Hmph, then Hu Shun is at the second level of Qi training.
Lu Ye, on the other hand, is at the first level of Qi training and cannot match his magic power, but he still has physical training methods.
Maybe it was because his accumulation was too powerful. Even if he used the spiritual spirit repair method, his spiritual consciousness at the fourth level of Qi training was only one-fifth less.
Grandmaster Dacheng’s body has been sucked 3,000 qi and blood, but it can still remain within the scope of Grandmaster Xiaocheng.
If Hu Shun dares to act recklessly today, he is now strong enough to send this person to see the King of Hell. Just don’t get caught.
He and Shu Chitu looked at each other, and both of them showed gloating smiles on their faces.
Who made them disciples of the Demon Sect?
Someone stepped in to fill the gap. It was polite for them not to laugh out loud.
Now the senior brother has not been completely harvested, and he has been replaced by the second senior brother. In recent years, it has been considered safe.
Lu Ye thought more, then should the monthly supplements be given to the senior brother or the second senior brother?
Forget it, let’s stop for a few months and take a look. Hu Shun himself still has Taoist power for a while. In addition, he is on the second level of Qi training, so he should be able to sustain it for a while longer than Ren Xingyun.
Hu Er, you must be a good shield!
In a beautiful mood, Lu Ye even walked much more relaxedly.
The team walked forward for another quarter of an hour.
Zhu Jian suddenly stopped holding the compass. There was a light spot on the compass instrument, which was the place where the pile was to be buried this time.
"Elder," he saluted Xiao Huanxi, "this is where it is..."
Xiao Huanxi nodded.
"Let's get started..."
Kang Shu, Yuan Qing'er and Lu Ye were on guard behind them.
Shu Chitu stepped forward and immediately took out a double-toothed rake according to Zhu Jian's mana mark. The mana was running, and the two rakes shone with yellow light. He swung the rake like rain, and dug a deep pit.
In just a few breaths, he dug down to a depth of ten feet, and even his small body disappeared from the ground.
brush!
He estimated that the distance was enough and jumped out.
The pale-faced Hu Shun took out a long wooden stake from the storage bag. This pile was engraved with complicated patterns and had grooves on the top.
Jin Fugui took a piece of spiritual crystal and placed it in the groove. Shui Miaomiao put his hand on the wooden stake. The three of them worked together to use their magic power silently and instilled the whole body's magic power into it.
There was a light buzz.
The patterns on the magic pile light up in sequence, and finally converge at the spiritual crystal. The spiritual crystal spits out corresponding spiritual energy, forming a perfect closed loop. The entire magic pile is as bright and dark as breathing.
Hu Shun used his magic power to carefully put it into the underground node. Shu Chitu stepped forward and filled back all the sand and soil. When the soil pit completely buried the magic pile, he sprayed it with yellow light. , immediately turned into a flat piece of land, blending in with the surroundings, and there was no difference at all.
This pile was placed, with a spirit gathering array engraved on it, and spiritual crystals for emergency supplementation. It was connected to other buried magic piles by induction, so as to warn against the intrusion of foreign enemies.
Only the formation master and the compass magic weapon can determine where each magic stake node is placed. The information related to the mountain guarding magic circle is the top secret of the sect.
Lu Ye and others are like working as coolies, but there is no complete map and signs.
This place is shrouded in thick fog all year round. The next time they go down the mountain and pass by here, even they can't find where the hidden pile was buried.
“Let’s go to the next place!”
Xiao Huanxi saw that the pile had been buried properly and immediately gave the order.
Ren Xingyun got down on all fours, waving his front and rear limbs alternately, running like a wild animal on the flat ground, his speed was fast and steady, and other disciples hurriedly followed. This walk lasted for several hours.
Everyone went surprisingly smoothly. Most of the magic piles they carried in their storage bags were buried, and they didn't even meet a disciple of Wangulin.
Everyone also took a break in the middle and used elixirs such as Huanqi Dan and Peiyuan Dan to restore their vitality.
Shu Chitu and Luye were at the end of the team.
"Fourth Brother," Shu Chitu said in a low voice with a smile on his thin face, "It seems that our side is quite safe!"
"God bless, let the other three teams Even if we encounter enemies, we will be safe.”
Lu Ye didn't know how to reply.
Shu Chitu immediately changed his tune upon seeing this.
"Let Wang Hu and Zhang Cunyi's team be safe."
"It seems that the only thing I can do is sorry for Elder Tang's group."
The two of them lightly chuckle.
Right now.
A sharp roar came from the sky, but a green light flew directly from the distant mountain peak. The green light was so bright that even Lu Ye and others could see it through the vast sea of fog.
Only the green light shot high in the sky towards the direction of the Eagle Climbing Peak, and the sound of hate passed through like thunder, causing a sensation in the mountains and fields!
"Mo Ruyan, you are so brave!"
On the Eagle Drop Peak, a black light also rose, and Mo Ruyan sneered.
"Old Man of Ten Thousand Bones, am I afraid of you?"
The green light and black light collided fiercely together. It was too far away to see clearly, but the terrifying mana fluctuations were like a huge stone thrown into a pool, causing ripples in all directions. But it dilutes the surrounding fog a bit!
Even Heikong Mountain, which has been shrouded in a sea of fog all year round, is now seeing rays of sunlight shining down.
But it was the aftermath of the magic battle between the two that shook a hole out of the sea of fog!
Everyone’s expressions changed.
No, it was still discovered!
At this moment, on the other side of the mountain in the distance, a pale ray of light hit Eagle Falling Peak like a meteor.
On the mountain peak, layers of foam-like light curtains immediately rose up and expanded, covering the entire mountain top.
It was Xuanmomen's mountain-protecting array that was activated.
A bit of blood-colored light flew up from the mountain peak, but it did not fly out of the bubble range. It only activated the magic power of the magic circle and violently collided with the white light coming from afar.
But Wu Feng's angry voice came.
"Grandma Sanhun, how dare you invade my mountain gate!"
Boom!
This time the earth trembled slightly.
Like an earth dragon turning over, rolling horizontal waves hit.
Even though people were dozens of miles apart, they could feel their feet shaking.
Xiao Huanxi’s expression changed and she screamed.
"Quickly go! Bury the remaining magic piles quickly."
"The Ten Thousand Bones Master of the Ten Thousand Bones Forest and the Three Soul Granny of the Yinhun Sect have taken action!"
< br>“Damn it, haven’t the two families never dealt with each other?”
There was a pink handkerchief in her hand, and a pink light immediately enveloped everyone as they moved forward.
Lu Ye and others looked ugly.
Having been here in Heikoku Mountain for more than a year, they also learned about the origins of the two neighbors.
It turns out that there have been three sects in this mountain for hundreds of years, namely the Ten Thousand Bones Forest, the Shadow Sect and the Ghost Face Sect, all of which have masters of foundation building.
However, the first two are strong, the Ghost Face Sect is weak, and the leader is only in the early stage of foundation building.
Fortunately, the three families are at odds with each other, and neither the Ten Thousand Bones Forest nor the Shadow Sect allows the other to devour the Ghost Face Sect, so that they can maintain a fragile balance for hundreds of years.
A few years ago, two fierce dragons, Mo Ruyan and Wu Feng, came across the river and immediately wiped out the Ghost Face Sect and robbed the Eagle Falling Cliff to use as a dojo.
The two also had a game with the two heads of the two families, Old Man Wan Gu and Granny Three Souls.
Mo Ruyan and Wu Feng teamed up to defeat each other. They just waited for the two masters to escape back to their sects and summoned the second-order mountain guarding formation. They were almost able to withstand the strength of a golden elixir. Mo Ruyan and Wu The wind can't get in.
But if the two masters are allowed to attack, they are no match for them.
Therefore, when Mo Ruyan later established a sect at Eagle Falling Peak, the other two families did not interfere, which was regarded as acquiescence. Although the lower-level disciples inevitably had friction and even died when patrolling, the higher-ups never had any intention of a decisive battle.
It was also because Mo Ruyan took a step too hard today that he offended the two leaders.
They were weaker than Mo Ruyan, but stronger than Wu Feng, so Wu Feng huddled in the mountain gate and used the mountain guarding array to bless himself with magic power, but Mo Ruyan dared to fight alone.
As for Old Man Wan Gu choosing Mo Ruyan to fight, there is nothing he can do. If he loses his temper today, Mo Ruyan will not dare to bury the magic pile under his Wan Gu Peak tomorrow.
Is the old man with ten thousand bones still hanging around in Black Cave Mountain?
You must know that Black Cave Mountain has an extremely wide area, and they only occupy one of its branches. There are also dojos of other demons.
Therefore, even if you know you can't beat him, you still have to fight.
Anyway, the Old Man with Ten Thousand Bones has a bone eagle puppet, but it was refined by killing a second-order demon. It flies very fast. It is the evil eagle that pecked the Yao family's legitimate son to pieces that day.
He couldn't be beaten, but he could still escape, and his life was not in danger.
Let’s not talk about the masters fighting each other on the horizon.
At the foot of the mountain, Xiao Huanxi and others made the escape light travel quickly.
But because the Old Man of Ten Thousand Bones has been dispatched, Ten Thousand Bones Forest must have sent a good hand to hinder them. A fight is just around the corner. Of course, if you complete the task first, you can return to the protection of the mountain guarding circle.
Everyone uses the Escape Light, and the amulet is in their hands, ready to be activated at any time, with eyes and ears listening in all directions.
It's a pity that this vast sea of fog blocks everyone's sight. Even if there is a small joy to activate a bronze lamp, it can only illuminate a few feet in radius.
Lu Ye felt that Xiao Huanxi had illuminated the way forward and pointed out the direction of his home, so it was better to go quietly.
at this time.
An eagle cry appeared above everyone's heads.
Everyone hurriedly looked up, only to see a goshawk circling above them through the fog.
The two wings blew away the thick fog, occasionally revealing the blurry figure of the goshawk. The pair of eagle eyes were as red as gems, which was the most conspicuous.
“Go!”
Zhu Jian frowned, used a magic trick, and a sword light flew out.
The goshawk in the sky flapped its wings and flew away without a trace. Under normal circumstances, as long as Zhu Jian could see its figure, he could command his flying sword to chop it down.
Unfortunately, there was a sea of fog above, and the goshawk disappeared as soon as it flew.
The flying sword circled around in the sky and found nothing, so Zhu Jian could only take the flying sword back angrily.
“Oh no, it’s the Blood-Eyed Eagle!” Shu Chitu lowered his head and said to Lu Ye.
"This kind of eagle is half-intelligent. Although it is not a monster, it is extremely smart, and its pair of blood eyes are naturally suitable for observing through the fog."
"We can't see it, but it can see us. !”
“This eagle is definitely the monk’s spiritual pet. When it sees the monk, it also sees it, and I’m afraid it will come looking for it soon...”
He didn’t finish his words.
A sharp whistle sounded not far away.
Puff puff puff...
An overwhelming number of bone spurs were shot at Lu Ye and his group from a distance.
