Chapter 272: Reaching the other shore and visiting the ancient abyss again! (2-in-1)
Buzz!
A sharp sword energy swept forward at this time, hitting the head of the gluttonous beast and blasting it to the edge of the abyss.
The sword energy was quite powerful, but it was still not enough to penetrate the head of the gluttonous beast instantly and kill the opponent on the spot.
When Su Qingqing saw this, her face tightened.
The toughness of the fog beast that crawled out of the abyss greatly exceeded that of ordinary fog beasts outside the area. Even with his cultivation at the sixth level of Qi refining, it was actually so difficult to kill.
Song Ping'an on the side also reacted quickly. He came over with a knife and slashed at the back and neck of the gluttonous beast.
The long knife was deeply embedded in his bones, and he had the body of a dragon. After years of development, although his strength was not as strong as Song Changming's, it was already beyond that of ordinary warriors.
Ordinary fog beasts, he would chop them into pieces with one knife, but now facing this abyss gluttonous beast, he could only break through the defense with difficulty and could not kill it with one knife.
I wanted to draw the knife, but I couldn't pull it out for a while.
The moment he paused on the spot, the gluttonous beast roared and waved its long arm to grab Song Pingan.
The long tailbone awl behind him suddenly pierced him.
As long as Song Ping'an is hit, Song Ping'an will be in danger.
"Changming!" Li Jinyu looked worried, but Song Changming was not too impatient.
Su Qingqing and Song Ping'an were able to deal with the dangers along the way, but he would usually not take action.
For him, a gluttonous beast can be destroyed with a raise of his hands, but for the two of them, it is a training opportunity, and he will not intervene early.
He is only responsible for giving the two of them the bottom line, allowing them to fight and hone their skills without any worries.
At the critical moment, Su Qingqing's pupils instantly changed into pink eyes.
The pupil technique was activated, causing the gluttonous beast to freeze in place for a moment.
Dahuang pounced and latched onto the tailbone, while Dabai bit the long arm of the gluttonous beast, seeming to bite it off.
At this time, Song Ping'an roared, pulled out the long sword and poured the inner energy into the blade. The power exploded completely, and he slashed down along the break in the neck again.
This time, he finally broke the extremely hard skull and cut off the head of the gluttonous beast.
Song Pingan breathed a long sigh of relief, and Su Qingqing not far away was also sweating on her forehead.
This gluttonous beast posed a considerable threat to them. Without Song Changming, they would not have dared to fight with such confidence.
"Not bad." Song Changming nodded to the two of them.
The innate Qi in the martial arts veins in the body then activated, covering the whole body.
At the same time, five rays of innate aura were released, covering the three of them, Li Jinyu and the two Gouzi.
The next moment, four people and two dogs took off into the air and flew straight into the abyss.
"Woof!"
The two dogs were dripping with body fluids, and they had originally planned to feast on the gluttonous beast. It was difficult to eat such high-intensity precious flesh and blood on ordinary days.
As a result, before the two brothers could say anything, the next moment, four people and two dogs took off into the air and flew straight into the abyss.
"It's just a gluttonous beast. Don't think about it. Come with me to the Ancient Yuan Kingdom to catch monsters to eat." Sensing the resentful looks in the two dogs' eyes, Song Changming laughed.
With a thought in mind, they controlled the strong wind, and the group of people accelerated in mid-air in vain, rising continuously, as if they were trying to resist the heavy black clouds in the sky, and then headed towards the other shore.
The hurricane in the sky had no effect on the people shrouded in the innate Qi. Even the gravity of the magnetic field was resisted by the innate Qi.
"This is the innate Qi!"
Li Jinyu looked at the high-level energy forms surrounding him with great interest.
After all, in his hometown of Dalai, there was only one innate person who had made a breakthrough, Song Changming.
Therefore, if you want to see and study this innate Qi, you can only do this, and there is no one else.
Song Pingan and Su Qingqing also looked curious.
Su Qingqing may have seen an innate person when she was a child, but she was still young at that time and didn't understand many things. Even if she had seen it, she wouldn't have been able to understand it.
Originally, the three of them were quite frightened by the bottomless abyss below, but under Song Changming's innate aura, they seemed to feel much more at ease.
Just like that, the four of them flew over the abyss, heading towards the energy barrier in the center.
Buzz!
The moment they broke in, several people clearly felt that their flight speed stagnated, as if they were suddenly stuck in a quagmire, and all kinds of resistance appeared in front of them.
"What a terrible energy blowout!" Su Qingqing said with lingering fear as she looked down at the rising energy pulses.
If it were not for the protection of the innate Qi, I am afraid that she would have been in danger at this moment.
And the deeper you go, the stronger this energy torrent becomes.
Until the end, Song Changming had to be a little more serious and increase the output of innate Qi.
I saw that several people were covered in purple-gold flames.
Purple gold lotus fires with clear textures and exquisite mysteries emerge one after another. This is the embodiment of the true meaning of Song Changming's first-grade Xiantian Zhengyang Jue.
Against this increasingly intense energy torrent, the two high-level energies continued to collide and consume.
In the ears of several people, there was a constant roar.
At the last stage of the journey, it seemed that the forward speed was slowing down. Song Changming suddenly pulled out his Qiushui knife and slashed forward.
Buzz!
A purple-gold sword energy that was extremely condensed and as if it were real substance instantly penetrated the terrifying energy barrier and cut a gap in it!
It's like cutting off the water in a backward waterfall.
Everyone felt that the squeezing feeling from the torrent of energy stopped at this moment. Everyone's body lightened up, and they jumped out along the gap.
All of a sudden, my ears were clear and the rumbling sound of energy disappeared.
Looking back, they saw that the energy barrier visible to the naked eye was behind them.
They rushed out, and the other shore was approaching before their eyes!
“It’s not easy,” Li Jinyu smacked his tongue.
"If it weren't for you Chang Ming, if I wanted to come here in this life, my chances would be slim."
However, in fact, he had chosen Song Changming a long time ago, not Song Changming who invited him.
Apparently at that time, he had already discovered that the only person in the world who could take him to the Ancient Yuan Kingdom was Song Changming.
Today's opportunity can be said to have been earned by himself.
Su Qingqing and Song Pingan looked curiously at the purple-gold lotus fire floating around them.
Song Changming did not often reveal his powerful innate energy, so as the people closest to Song Changming, they rarely saw the legendary innate energy.
Not to mention this manifested purple-gold lotus fire.
In the eyes of a warrior with advanced cultivation, this lotus fire is as colorful as a treasure, magnificent and fascinating.
The two dogs, Dahuang and Dabai, were not very interested in the lotus fire. Instead, they stared closely at the darkness in the abyss below, revealing a bit of fear from time to time.
Song Changming also noticed this and remembered what he had seen before, the huge black shadow at the bottom of the abyss.
Perhaps the two dogs were also keenly aware of the terrifying presence below that frightened them.
However, there was no thunder to illuminate the abyss today, so the huge black shadow was not visible.
The last few kilometers are here in a blink of an eye.
Everyone stepped on the ground, still in a daze.
In this way, they arrived at the border of Guyuan Kingdom.
The whole process of crossing the abyss is not long, or it can be described as short.
Now that the most difficult hurdle is over, all that's left is to hurry up.
"Let's go." Song Changming walked forward, saying as he walked: "If we don't hurry up, there may be a group of local friends to see us off later."
"Huh?" Li Jinyu was stunned for a moment.
The next moment, all I could hear was movement from the abyss behind me. It was rustling, and it became more and more violent, making people feel inexplicably creepy.
"Let's go!" Song Pingan and Su Qingqing both changed their expressions, and Song Pingan threw Li Jinyu forward.
Dahuang jumped up and caught Li Jinyu in the air in a tacit understanding. The three of them and the two dogs ran forward.
Immediately afterwards, gluttonous beasts swarmed in and crawled out of the abyss.
Obviously, these are the old friends that Song Changming mentioned.
In fact, for Song Changming, they are indeed old friends. Almost every time he comes back to the abyss, he will bump into a group of them.
Previously, Su Qingqing and Song Ping'an teamed up to kill an ordinary gluttonous beast, but now the group of dozens of gluttonous beasts on the other side are all stronger elite monsters.
In this regard, they can only choose to run away.
"You are really not late at all." Song Changming did not panic. Seeing these ferocious monsters getting closer and closer, he raised his hand and slashed with a knife.
In the past, when faced with this group of elite gluttonous beasts, the sword he slashed with his inner energy was not powerful enough to destroy them. Now, he used his innate energy to strike out with this sword again.
This time, the purple gold fire burned through and destroyed the group of gluttonous beasts.
The sword energy dissipated, and the dry and cracked bones in front of him were shocking.
There are still some gluttonous beasts in the abyss that have not yet emerged, but they have escaped disaster.
Looking at the tragedy in front of them, they finally did not dare to poke their heads out and retracted silently.
Facing Song Changming now, they were really afraid.
One day later, several people walked and flew, successfully leaving the foggy land and entering the red earth continent.
"Brother Jinyu, now we have entered the border of Guyuan Kingdom. Do you have a sudden inspiration and get a glimpse of some unusual secrets?"
Song Changming saw that Li Jinyu was holding a turtle shell of unknown origin and a small measuring ruler in his hand, seeming to be deducing something while walking, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
After a moment, Li Jinyu shook his head.
"I don't know why this Ancient Yuan Kingdom is covered by dark clouds, but there seems to be something weird."
In the end, he just said that the secret was hard to find.
"It won't be solved for a while, let me think about it." Li Jinyu seemed to feel that he was a little worried about his face, and couldn't help laughing.
Song Changming originally wanted the other party to help him calculate some intelligence information, but it seemed that he could only give up temporarily.
The group of people continued to move forward in the established direction.
The location where the four-eyed Taoist captured the dragon was roughly northeast of the Red Earth Continent.
That is also closer to the thirty-six caves in southern Xinjiang.
So this time, Song Changming went straight in the northwest direction, away from the possible range of activities of the four-eyed old man.
Now that he has entered the Xiantian realm, his physical training has also improved tremendously, but even so, he wants revenge, but he is still not completely sure that he can win against the inconspicuous four-eyed Taoist.
If he wanted to be stable, he still had to continue to strengthen his personal combat power. At the same time, the most important thing was to find out the intelligence information of the four-eyed veteran, and then take action after fully understanding the plan.
At that time, what he wants is to kill him with one blow, so that there is no possibility of the opponent coming back!
"This place is really desolate. Is this really the Ancient Yuan Kingdom?" Song Ping'an looked at the dark red soil and rock sand under his feet and said with some confusion.
It is said that Guyuan Kingdom is full of spiritual energy and is full of treasures for cultivation
"This place is quite special. Only when you cross this place can you truly arrive at Guyuan Kingdom." Song Changming explained.
As he spoke, he rubbed Dabai's head.
Dabai understood, leaned down slightly, and let Song Changming sit on him.
"This red earth continent is very vast, so we have to hurry up. Brother Jinyu and Ping An will ride together, while Qingqing and I will ride together."
Song Changming said, letting the two dogs act as mounts for the time being.
They have extremely strong endurance and are as big as a small elephant. They can carry two people on their backs for three days and three nights without any problem.
"Yes." Song Changming looked down and saw a pair of white arms tightly wrapped around his waist.
Su Qingqing sat in the back, her head resting on Song Changming's back, and her whole body was pressed against him.
"Qingqing, step back."
"Sir, Dabai is shaking a lot, so you need to hold on tighter." Su Qingqing explained in a low voice.
"Then there's no need to pull it so tightly." Song Changming said helplessly.
"Oh" Su Qingqing moved back slightly by half an inch.
Song Changming was too lazy to say anything more and signaled Dabai to set off, not wanting to waste time on this trivial matter.
He was completely unaware of the faint blush on Su Qingqing's face behind her.
Dabai exerted force on all four legs and flew away like an arrow from a string.
Dahuang on the other side was carrying Li Jinyu and Song Ping'an and followed closely.
In less than two days, they arrived at the border of the Red Earth Continent.
There were no unexpected situations along the way. Apart from their group, no other living beings could be seen staying in this red earth continent.
However, near the border, traces of some ferocious beasts can be seen, and there are also many shadows of raptors and swallows in the sky.
The appearance of these birds and beasts also proved that they were heading in the right direction, and that they were about to leave this red restricted area of life.
The result was as expected. Soon, everyone saw the appearance of a plain from a distance.
That touch of vibrant green made everyone feel happy.
After all, the same dark red color of the Red Earth Continent will make anyone bored after seeing it too much.
Dabai stuck out his tongue and trotted into the green plain, followed closely by Dahuang.
The moment the two dogs led the four people into the plain, all four people felt the extremely rich energy of heaven and earth.
The strands represent vitality and contain the spiritual energy that nurtures life. They seem to be falling from the sky and growing from the ground, constantly gathering and dispersing.
When I'm in it, I feel relaxed and happy, and all the organs and cells in my body are jumping for joy.
"No, it is indeed the Kingdom of Ancient Yuan."
Song Pingan was finally convinced that the rumors were true.
Behind Song Changming, Su Qingqing took a deep breath, closed her eyes and fell into recollection.
She is a native of Gu Yuan Kingdom and was born here. Although she has been away for more than twenty years, her body does not need to adapt to anything when she returns to this place.
"Let's find a tribal village to settle down first, and then discuss other plans." Song Changming suggested.
The Guyuan Kingdom in front of them was unfamiliar to everyone, including Su Qingqing, who was still too young at that time.
In those few years, she basically only lived within her family, never leaving the front door, so her understanding of the entire Guyuan Kingdom was limited.
In this case, they still need to explore everything about Guyuan Kingdom on their own, and only after they have a better understanding can they make subsequent plans.
"What Chang Ming said is that we need to find a human settlement first. Although this place is rich in aura, it is a wild place after all. I vaguely feel that I cannot stay for a long time and it is best not to spend the night outside." Li Jinyu nodded and suggested.
Although his divination and sky-viewing skills are somewhat malfunctioning, some intuitions similar to the sixth sense can still serve as a warning.
When danger approaches, he has a brief, prophetic reaction.
So, the two dogs carried the four people and continued forward, looking for traces of people.
Half a day later, accompanied by a loud bird song, a pure golden roc flew slowly over 10,000 meters high in the sky.
It was like a manned passenger plane. It didn't stop, it only appeared for a moment, and then disappeared again among the clouds and mist.
Only the four people on the two dogs' backs were left looking at each other.
"It's not coming for us." Song Pingan watched the roc disappear, and then he took a breath and spoke.
"Changming, that big bird just now?" Li Jinyu looked at Song Changming.
Song Changming nodded and said firmly: "Well, that must be a beast above the innate level!"
"Sure enough." Several people were shocked.
They all knew that what Song Changming said with such certainty was basically correct.
Formidable monsters above the innate level cannot be seen in Dalai or in the foggy areas outside the territory!
If Song Changming was not protecting the team, they would not be able to resist the roc bird flying down and trying to attack them.
Fortunately, this powerful beast left on its own and did not attack them.
While several people were rejoicing, Song Changming frowned slightly.
Not long after the roc disappeared, the ground trembled, and then a giant rat as big as a hill suddenly emerged from the ground, causing the entire land to collapse.
Fortunately, the two dogs reacted quickly and took the person back one step ahead of time.
The rat's body was covered by a dark green rock-like protective layer. If you didn't look carefully, you would have thought that the rat was carrying a small mountain bag on its back.
It seemed to have just woken up from a deep sleep. It regarded the passing Song Changming and others as prey that could be devoured, and launched an attack without hesitation.
"Seeking death!" Song Changming snorted coldly and decisively slashed forward with a knife.
The 10,000-kilogram heavy weapon and Qiu Shui's long knife came through the air, carrying the extremely powerful purple gold fire, and slashed at the rat's body.
In an instant, the dark green rock layer on the rat's body began to explode and fall off.
The rat also squeaked, but was knocked back by the terrifying force of Song Changming's knife, staggering around.
"Could this be the mountain rat recorded in the Monster Chronicles?!" Li Jinyu suddenly thought that the physical signs of the rat in front of him were consistent with a certain part of the content in the ancient book, and he couldn't help but exhale at this moment.
Rumor has it that this rat has the ability to move mountains and reclaim seas. It often lives in barbaric places. It is a very rare and powerful rat species.
If it transforms into a demon, it is a terrifying existence that can 100% turn into a great demon!
