Chapter 144: Star Mountain Range
When the mist in the morning light enveloped the mountains, Yan Nuo woke up from the meditation. He had been busy on the road for several days, but he felt tired, so he had to sit here for a night. The spiritual energy in this wilderness is thin, and there are no monsters to guard against. Yan Nuo simply set a few small restrictions.
Along the way, Yan Nuo fled south, and the more he walked south, he felt the more spiritual energy became stronger, and Yan Nuo's mood became a little complicated. I thought that on this trip, you might be able to see Senior Brother Yuori and He Ji, Xiaoning and Cheng Mo, and then your eyes turned bloody, and you might even meet the Yue brothers.
He took out the jade slips containing the ruins of ancient cultivation, identified the direction, and Yan Nuo turned into a stunning rainbow and flew into the distance.
I think I am almost at the junction of Lingzhou and Huangzhou. Along the way, Yan Nuo saw many monks in Huangzhou who were in a hurry. It seemed that they wanted to get a share of the ancient ruins.
After falling off the light, Yan Nuo carefully looked at the endless blue-black mountains ahead. It was tens of thousands of miles away. You could vaguely hear the roar of monsters from afar. You could feel that the spiritual energy here was close to the Lingzhou realm. I think this mountain range is the Tianxing Mountains where ancient cultivation ruins were rumored to be discovered.
Along the way, I saw many monks coming from Huangzhou, showing vigilance between them. Yan Nuo thought about the prey of the weak in the world of cultivation, and it was normal for everyone to be vigilant.
After traveling for another half a day, the mountains became much quieter. Yan Nuo's face became solemn. The roar of monsters came from afar, which made Yan Nuo understand in his heart that this place had already penetrated into the Tianxing Mountains. According to the information found that there were many third-level monsters in the Tianxing Mountains, which were far beyond what he could compete with. There were also groups of low-level monsters. If they accidentally provoked them, even the masters of the Dan-Jingdan stage would retreat.
Yan Nuo walked carefully in the jungle. Fortunately, Yan Nuo had a strong soul sensation and could feel the aura of those powerful monsters from afar. Yan Nuo would try his best to restrain his breath and bypass them. If he really encountered them head-on, Yan Nuo would only have the right to escape.
Not everyone has such good luck as Yan Nuo. There was a sound of fighting in the distance. Yan Nuo couldn't help but frown slightly. He heard that the sound was more than one person. Yan Nuo wanted to turn around and bypass this place, but found that those people seemed to be escaping in the direction of their escape.
Sure enough, three men and two women flew towards them from a distance, and chased after them with a group of black birds behind them.
In a blink of an eye, the few people arrived in front of Yan Nuo and looked at the faces of panic. Their cultivation level was only in the early stage of foundation building. Looking behind them, hundreds of black iron-mouthed rooks were flapping their wings behind them.
The first-level demon bird, the iron-mouthed rook, is a herd demon bird. Its mouth is hard and has the following spiritual weapons. It is often used to refine hidden weapons. When it is bitten, it is difficult to resist the body protection light of the monks in the early stage of foundation building.
Seeing this, Yan Nuo fled to another place, and the already crazy group of iron-mouthed rooks separated dozens of them and chased them.
He cursed in his heart that damn it. Yan Nuo escaped while protecting his shield in front of him, and at the same time sacrificed the Tianqi Blade and a pair of Feiyun Cymbals to the sky. Then several wailing cries came, and the few iron-mouthed rooks closest to Yan Nuo were knocked down by Yan Nuo's spiritual weapon.
The remaining Iron-mouthed Rook was even more fierce and rushed towards Xiang Yannuo.
Yan Nuo glanced behind him with his spiritual sense, and more than fifty iron-mouthed rooks were rushing towards him. He smiled slightly, stopped and stood in the air, and immediately controlled the spiritual weapon to rush towards the iron-mouthed rooks.
Then the spiritual thought moved, and a red insect cloud flew out of the spirit beast bag and rushed towards the group of iron-mouthed rooks.
In the face of the cup of tea, there was only a chaotic bird feather left on the ground, and there was not even a bone of the iron-mouthed rook on the ground. More than fifty iron-mouthed rooks were gnawed by the soul-devouring ants. Yan Nuo waved his hand and brought the soul-devouring ants into the spirit insect bag.
Seeing this, the three men and two women in the distance also sacrificed their spiritual weapons. The five formed a formation to fight with the iron-mouthed rooks that were chasing each other. At this time, Yan Nuo discovered that there was an extremely ferocious Crow King among the group of iron-mouthed rooks, who had advanced to the second-level monster. Under the leadership of the Crow King, the Iron-mouthed Rooks' offensive was extremely fierce, and the five people struggled to resist.
Although he was unwilling to meddle in other people's business, he could not see the human monks die at the mouth of the demon bird. Yan Nuo sacrificed his spiritual weapon to slash him.
In the effort of half an incense stick, hundreds of iron-mouthed rooks were slaughtered by six people. Some of the five and some of them had slightly slight colours, but they were fine. They could apply some elixirs.
One of the five people, the leader, came to Yannuo and bowed: "Thank you for your kind help!"
After all, the strength Yan Nuo showed just now was there. Although it was only the fourth level of foundation building cultivation, its combat experience was obviously one level higher than that of the five people.
"The five are monks in the Wilderness Island?" Yan Nuo gave a bow.
"There is Fang Zicheng of the Lingyu Sect in Huangzhou. These four are junior brothers and junior sisters in Huangzhou!" The leading monk among the five nodded: "Fellow Daoist thinks he is also a monk in Huangzhou. Don't you know the name of Youzun?"
Yan Nuo nodded: "Yan Nuo is going down Zizhu Cliff!"
"Can you be Elder Zizhu Ya Yan Nuoyan, who is in Hongfeng Valley, who is skilled in overwhelming the first alchemy master in Huangzhou?" Fang Zicheng looked shocked and asked in a hurry.
"It's just below!" Yan Nuo smiled bitterly. Unexpectedly, in a battle of alchemy skills in Hongfeng Valley, he was actually famous in Huangzhou.
When Fang Zicheng heard Yan Nuo admit it in person, he felt a little happy. Being able to meet Yan Nuo is of great benefit to him and the Lingyu Sect, not to mention that Yan Nuo's strength is obviously higher than him. This time, there was also a powerful helper in the treasure hunting of Tianxing Mountains.
The four people next to him looked at Yan Nuo, a hint of suspicion flashed. Although Yan Nuo's appearance has changed drastically, he still looks like a young man. After all, it was not seen with his own eyes. Several people were still somewhat suspicious about Yan Nuo's strong overwhelming the first alchemist in Huangzhou.
Then Fang Zicheng introduced his junior brothers and sisters to Yan Nuo one by one, and the two sides made a noise for a while.
"I don't know that Brother Yan went deep into the Tianxing Mountains this time, but came for the ancient relic?" Fang Zicheng smiled and tried to closer to Yan Nuo.
Since Fang Zicheng intends to bring his relationship closer to him, Yan Nuo also goes with the flow: "I think Brother Fang is here for this purpose!"
Fang Zicheng nodded: "There are many monsters in the Tianxing Mountain Range, so it is better for Brother Yan and I to walk together next door. There is also a way to take care of each other. What's more, the eight sects of Lingzhou have already joined forces, and the monks and those casual cultivators in our Huangzhou will inevitably be bullied!"
"Okay! Just follow Brother Fang's words!" Yan Nuo nodded.
Yan Nuo, a Lingyu Gate, has also heard of the Lingyu Gate in Huangzhou. It is closer to Lingzhou in Huangzhou, and it is not as close to the north of Huangzhou as Zizhu Cliff, so it is relatively closed to the news about this ancient ruins earlier.
While the six people were chatting and laughing, they escaped into the depths of the Tianxing Mountains. Along the way, Yan Nuo's powerful soul power avoided many monsters, but there were exceptions. Four second-level monster insects, wolf spiders, formed good spiders and stood there quietly. While the six people walked, the wolf spiders were covered with spiders. The spiders were extremely sticky and had some spider poison. Although they could not pose a fatal threat to Yan Nuo and his group, they also brought great trouble.
The shell of this wolf spider is comparable to a low-grade spiritual weapon. Even if the spider silk pulled out from the tail is cut off with the spiritual weapon, it takes some effort. After a lot of trouble, the four wolf spiders were killed, but some poisonous gas was also stained with. It was not until Yan Nuo took out several pills from his body and took them to several people, so it did not cause any greater trouble.
This time, the trap of the wolf spider made the six people more cautious. Fortunately, they never encountered such a wolf spider again.
Yan Nuo and his party passed through the ruins and dense forests, and saw rolling peaks.
Several people rose up in the air and looked down from the sky. There were 108 peaks in total, including thirty-six main peaks in Tiangang and 72 secondary peaks in Earthly Demons. However, most of them became ragged and covered by weeds and trees. It seemed that they were destroyed by huge forces.
Only the mountain in the middle is relatively well preserved, but because it has been covered by vegetation due to its age, you can still see the edges and corners of some ancient buildings made of huge stones.
"I think that's the ruins of ancient cultivators! It seems to be a little inconsistent with the legend?" Yan Nuo looked at the mountains with some confusion. Although his eyes were dull, he seemed to have a hint of disappointment.
"Yes! Brother Yan!"
Fang Zicheng, who stood beside Yannuo, nodded: "There are several legends about this ancient cultivation ruin. The most recognized statement seems to be that when the demons invaded, as we see today, most of the mountains here were destroyed by the demons. After the elders of this sect finally sent their potential disciples out of the sect, they sealed all the treasures in the sect and waited for the future comeback. Unexpectedly, the battle with the demons lasted for hundreds of years. Most of the disciples died in battle or disappeared, and the ruins were annihilated."
Yan Nuo nodded, released his soul power and responded for a while, and found a trace of abnormality. He could feel that there was still some vague fluctuations on the main peak. It can be seen that this ban is quite good and has not lost its effect after tens of thousands of years.
After looking into the distance, Fang Zicheng said, "Brother Yan! Let's go there, the monks from Huangzhou are all there, and everyone gathers together to take care of him, let alone the eight major sects in Lingzhou who have always looked down on us Huangzhou monks!"
Yan Nuo turned his eyes to a broken mountain. Sure enough, he saw many monks from the wild continent. Although he was not familiar with each other and the people of cultivation could not forget them, some of them had seen them in the Red Maple Valley. He didn't expect that so many people had arrived here in advance. I think this ancient cultivation ruin is indeed quite attractive.
The six people landed on the mountain, and Fang Zicheng greeted some familiar monks, but Yan Nuo looked at the nearby environment, sat alone, waiting for the opening of the ancient cultivation ruins.
This place has been rarely visited for tens of thousands of years, and a large number of monsters have long been reproduced here. The monks gathered together to prevent monsters from attacking.
