Chapter 64: The dragon swims into the sea and the tiger returns to the mountains
Its face was covered by the helmet, but unfathomable darkness overflowed from the gap. The greasy shadow was like a cat's whiskers or an octopus's tentacles, poking out from the inside of the helmet, as if it was looking for something.
But before it could find any valuable information, a shrill whistle sounded in the surrounding air.
"Target has appeared!"
"The monster appears!"
With Xuanming Valley as the center, a large number of red-armored guards patrolling the surrounding areas looked alert and immediately gathered towards the area where the demons appeared.
They were shouting slogans, and the flame patterns composed of small words on their armor were flowing and burning, faintly linking up a huge military formation, and reflecting the surrounding mountains and forests in red.
And in the original Xuanming Village, now in the Chijiawei camp, a ray of Taoist magic lights up, making the area within ten miles as bright as day, illuminating all monsters and monsters.
The mighty red-armored guards and the demonic light forced the demon to give up the investigation and once again hid his figure in the shadows.
As a sub-demon of the great heavenly demon ‘Mortal Fate’, it is proficient in the art of the blood, vitality and vitality series, and could have found the aura of peace immediately.
But Anjing suddenly disappeared for three days, forcing it to lurk around the Xuanming Valley, and was surrounded by Sergeant Dachen who came later to clean up the demon's legacy.
Even if there is a devoured human body as a 'shell' to cover the demonic energy, the Demon Monitoring Array is enough to restrict its movements. Just like now, even if some clues are found, there is no time to follow the clues.
Majin and Sergeant Otatsu continued their hide-and-seek game.
At the same time, everyone's real goal, Anjing, had crossed three mountains and arrived at an unnamed valley two hundred miles away.
The warrior's mobility is so terrifying.
In particular, Anjing was born in the frontier and had experience as a disaster victim. Later in Xuanmingzhuang, he often used mountain walking as an exercise program. He was so strong that he could be called a thousand-mile horse in human form.
"Rest for a while, replenish some water and strength, and then continue running. After running for a day and a night, you can roughly get out of the mountains."
Unlike other worlds, there is no acid rain in Huaixu World, and the river water is very fresh.
An Jing leaned over the side of the valley and took a sip of the clear stream water. Then he took out the smoked and dried pork leg meat, bit it off and chewed it hard, replenishing his energy as quickly as possible.
He had an excellent memory, and he roughly remembered that after the Demon Cult's carriage entered the mountains, it had to walk for about five or six days before arriving at Xuanming Village.
The speed of the carriage was not fast, at least not faster than when he ran with all his strength, especially at night when he needed to rest. If he ran all day and night, he would be able to reach the surrounding mountain villages and towns on the northwest border of Dachen.
As the saying goes, a dragon swims into the sea and a tiger returns to the mountains. As long as he finds the right opportunity to sneak into the city, he will completely escape from the demon sect and regain his freedom!
After replenishing water and energy, Anjing went to the highest mountain in the surrounding area, observed the surrounding terrain, and decided on the next course of action.
Under the bright moon, there is a dense and wild, vast and vast mountain forest. There are huge trees that cannot be surrounded by several people. Ancient trees that are tens or even hundreds of meters high and their branches and leaves can even completely block the moonlight, allowing the inside of the forest to It can remain hidden from the light of day for hundreds of years.
However, even if there is no sunshine, there is no light source in this ancient forest in the northwest.
On those towering giant trees, there are many mushroom vines that emit a faint cold light, which are similar to the fluorescent vines deep in the caves of other worlds. They support many strange flowers, plants and various insects.
Under the dim blue fluorescent light, countless branches and roots are intertwined with each other like roads, forming a strange and complex labyrinth ecology.
In the too primitive mountain forest, it is impossible to judge the north, east, west, and south by the stars and the moon, so Anjing has to go to the top of the mountain to decide the next direction of action. "It's a little off, but it's not a big problem. The general direction is right."
Standing on the top of a giant tree, Anjing even saw an abandoned bird's nest in the middle of the climb. This bird's nest was huge. The eggshell fragments inside were as tall as half a person. The adult bird was at least seven or eight years old. A meter-long giant ferocious beast.
"What a monster, stay away."
This made An Jing wary, and he made up his mind to leave the mountains as quickly as possible.
After correcting the direction, Anjing continued to run quickly.
Along the way, he did encounter some ferocious beasts and birds that could see through his Xuan Bu and Lin Yuan Qi.
But these ferocious beasts are not stupid. Anjing is obviously difficult to deal with, and he is obviously rushing all the way. There is no need to provoke such a powerful enemy for no reason.
Except for the ferocious beasts that followed An Jing around for a period of time when he was in their territory, most of them were just watching.
However, there are also some ferocious beasts that don’t give much face.
For example, there is a ferocious beast that looks like a fusion of a gecko and a chameleon. It usually lurks in a giant tree and attacks passing animals.
It took advantage of An Jing's concentration on the road and spit out a long tongue as fast as a flying sword from the side, intending to swallow An Jing's whole body into its belly.
If it is an ordinary caravan or a mountaineer, if it encounters such a ferocious beast, it will definitely take away several people, and it will be impossible to fight back if there is no one to find it. If there is an accident, the opponent will escape into the dense forest. maze.
The only way to stop is to speed up and leave its territory, or wait until the beast is full.
But Anjing is different.
He has a gun!
Without any prompting from the sword spirit, An Jing, who had already awakened his spiritual roots before the gecko beast came out with its tongue, and whose perception was sharper than that of a normal warrior, noticed something was wrong. He easily sideways to avoid the beast's long tongue, turned around and took out his gun. shoot.
The sound of gunshots was like thunder. The gecko's tongue was agile, but its body was quite sluggish. It was hit by seven or eight bullets on the spot. It let out an extremely sharp whine and retreated. Then it hid in the forest maze and escaped as fast as possible.
Naturally, Anjing didn't have time to chase it down, so he continued on his way.
Perhaps it was precisely because the gecko beast suffered a big loss and screamed to alert the other beasts that during the rest of the journey, Anjing never encountered any other beasts that dared to attack him.
"After awakening my spiritual roots, my perception became extremely sharp."
After avoiding the spider web trap woven by a ferocious spider due to his high perception, An Jing, who had replenished his physical strength for the third time, fell into deep thought while meditating and adjusting his breath: "Although the spiritual root does not come with magical powers, the keen perception and The ability to control internal energy is also improved.”
"Why doesn't anyone in Huaixu Realm continue to 'refining spiritual energy'?"
Sword Spirit, who had been silently observing An Jing's actions all the way, also spoke at this time: "It's really strange. I have always wanted you to try 'qi refining' in Huaixu Realm before, but the time was too tight and I didn't find the opportunity."
He obviously didn't quite understand this, so he gave a suggestion: "Now, we have traveled hundreds of miles, and it will be difficult for either side to catch up... but we have a bit of a margin."
"Indeed, you can try it." An Jing nodded slightly. He found a hidden tree trunk, sat cross-legged and meditated, closing his eyes and concentrating.
