Chapter 169: Entering Again
Shi Xiao dispersed his spiritual consciousness, and a huge magic circle emerged in the small courtyard behind.
Then he formed seals with his hands, and the seals composed of spiritual energy flew out and merged into the magic circle. The lines on the magic circle gradually became more complicated, and then a white light flashed past.
Master Wu looked shocked. Through his perception of the formation, he discovered that the range of this formation had expanded to a radius of more than tens of meters.
"It's amazing, it can be expanded to such a scope." Master Wu said in surprise.
After hearing this, Shi Xiao smiled calmly: "Your method still has some flaws, and the layout of the formation also has its own limitations."
"When faced with a familiar formation, you can try to change its pattern arrangement. You don't need to stick to the rules."
After hearing this, a look of surprise flashed in Master Wu's eyes. The head brother of the Shenyin Sect also told him the same thing. However, he was confident in the strength of his formation, so he didn't take it to heart at the time.
"Okay, Mr. Shi. I am relieved by your teaching, but I want to ask you something. If there is a chance in the future, I would like to invite you to our Shenyin Sect." Master Wu asked in a low voice.
Shi Xiao smiled lightly after hearing this. He could tell that Master Wu wanted to recruit him.
"That's not necessary, I am already a member of the super sect." After saying this, Shi Xiao took out his elder token and then input a spiritual energy into it.
Suddenly, the words "Honorary Elder" appeared on the token, and there was a looming Tai Chi diagram behind it.
"This, this is the token of the Supreme Elder of Daoxu Palace." Master Wu was greatly shocked.
He also heard a little bit about the honorary elders of Daoxu Palace. Only those who are powerful and have connections with Daoxu Palace can be awarded tokens.
"Yes, I have joined Daoxu Palace." Shi Xiao replied calmly.
Master Wu was shocked when he heard Shi Xiao's exact answer. He didn't expect that Shi Xiao would be recognized by Daoxu Palace at such a young age.
It seems that the previous guess was correct, Shi Xiao's identity is indeed not simple.
"That's a pity, but if something happens to you, our Shenyin Sect will also provide help, hahaha." Master Wu said cheerfully.
At this time, they were welcoming Mr. Ma and leading people back to the small courtyard.
"Mr. Shi, the other party's traces disappeared when they reached the Kunlun South Ridge. It seems that the other party was very careful not to give us any chance." Mr. Ma said with a bitter smile.
"Okay, I will also set up a search formation around the village later. This should be able to effectively prevent enemies from infiltrating." Shi Xiao said calmly.
Everyone looked better after hearing Shi Xiao's arrangement. They were protected by two formation masters, Shi Xiao and Master Wu. Their security was greatly enhanced, but this also showed that this treasure hunt was not simple.
After Shi Xiao arranged everything, he returned to the hut to practice, but he always felt in his heart that meeting a strong man like Lei Yan was just the beginning.
"Hmph, does luck still come with crises?" Shi Xiao sighed while sitting on the bed.
This couldn't help but remind him that when adventuring in the Wonderland, opportunities and dangers go hand in hand. Especially this time, the clay doll almost killed Shi Xiao.
"I need to figure out the Tai Chi diagram as soon as possible. If I master this power, it will definitely help me." Shi Xiao thought to himself.
However, he quickly entered a deep training mode and needed to repair his injuries as soon as possible.
Time passed quickly and it was daytime in a blink of an eye.
Shi Xiao jumped off the bed in a flash, and then exhaled a breath of turbid air from his mouth. Shi Xiao felt that his meridians and Dantian felt much better.
"Huh, luckily I had the protection of Tai Chi Tu at that time, otherwise I would have been severely injured." Shi Xiao breathed out secretly.
He opened the door. At this time, Liu Jin and Qin Lao were discussing the matter of going into the mountain again.
Mr. Qin and others saw Shi Xiao coming out and immediately greeted him: "Mr. Shi, are your injuries better?"
"Fortunately, when will we go to Kunlun Nanling today?" Shi Xiao asked calmly.
Mr. Qin looked at the map in his hand, and then replied: "Mr. Shi, we are going deep into the Kunlun South Ridge from another direction today."
"It will take two or three days to bring enough food this time, but I'm afraid of your injury..."
Although Mr. Qin did not face Shi Xiao's battle yesterday, the aftermath of the battle surprised him. Later he heard that Mr. Shi was injured, and he judged from Shi Xiao's pale face that Shi Xiao was seriously injured.
So this time when he went deep into the Kunlun South Ridge, his original intention was to let Shi Xiao take a good rest.
"It's okay, but I can't take action easily next. I'll probably trouble you and Ma Lao." Shi Xiao said calmly.
"Okay, Mr. Ma is also a top master. He is enough." Mr. Qin said with a smile.
After a while, other people also got up. After eating breakfast, everyone was ready to set off to the Kunlun South Ridge, but after the last action, everyone looked solemn.
According to Mr. Qin's map, everyone chose to enter the Kunlun South Ridge from another direction. If they did not find the treasures of heaven and earth this time, they would return the same way.
Shi Xiao radiated his spiritual consciousness, and he felt that the spiritual energy around him was a little stronger.
"This area seems to have become a little different." Shi Xiao thought to himself.
Since the last appearance of a lucky object like a clay doll, the concentration of spiritual energy here has become higher and higher, and there is a different kind of atmosphere in the air.
The clay doll is now being kept by Mr. Qin, but this lucky thing is destined to fall into the hands of the Chinese Martial Arts Association.
The crowd marched forward under the leadership of Liu Jin, Song Meng and others, while Shi Xiao and Li Chaoyuan walked slowly at the back. Shi Xiao looked at the surrounding scenery as he walked, and it was still a beautiful scene covered with snow.
But just after everyone walked two or three kilometers forward, Liu Jin in front suddenly saw something abnormal ahead.
Shi Xiao also noticed the trace of blood in the air at this time. He had super vision and could see traces of battle ahead at a glance.
Shi Xiao reached the front of the team in a flash. He got down and looked at the ground in front of him.
I saw that the area hundreds of meters ahead was devastated, with the ground mixed with white snow, mud and scattered branches. The surrounding giant trees were also full of deep scratches, which should be traces left by Gang Qi or sword Qi.
At this time, Master Wu, Ma Xianjue, Mr. Qin and others also gathered around. Everyone couldn't help but look shocked when they saw the surrounding environment. There must have been a battle here before.
At this time, Shi Xiao picked up a few items from the ground and placed them in front of everyone.
"These are kunai shurikens that should be used by the warriors of Fuso Island. I didn't expect to meet these people here." Liu Jin said with some surprise.
After hearing this, Mr. Ma and Wu Tianzhu looked at each other and said nothing to each other.
"Hmph, it seems that not only the warriors of the Huaxia Kingdom have received the news. These Fusang people also want to get involved." Master Wu said in a cold tone.
Due to what happened decades ago between the Huaxia Kingdom and the Fuso Island Kingdom, the relationship between the warriors from both sides is very tense until now.
"We don't need to be polite when meeting these Fusang warriors. Just follow the previous rules." Liu Jin said calmly.
"The previous rules?" Shi Xiao looked confused.
Li Chaoyuan seemed to see through Shi Xiao's doubts, and then explained to Shi Xiao in a low voice. It turns out that when foreign warriors conflict with Chinese warriors, the general national level will not intervene.
As long as there is no big commotion, it will be resolved between the warriors, and even if a few people die, the higher-ups will still recognize it.
But this is often beneficial to the warriors of the Huaxia Kingdom. After all, they have local advantages. Those foreign warriors cannot compete with the warriors of the local sects or aristocratic families.
Everyone investigated the surrounding environment and found that this battle should have happened not long ago.
"Let's continue on our way, but everyone must be careful." Liu Jin reminded everyone from the front.
Then everyone continued to move forward, and they also found signs of fighting along the way. It seemed that there were many warriors on both sides, but the strange thing was that no corpses were seen on either side.
Just after everyone had marched forward for another two or three miles, a figure suddenly emerged from the dense forest ahead.
This figure is clearly a woman. Her clothes are now in tatters and her face is stained with some blood and dirt.
She staggered, the sword in her hand was broken into two parts, and there were scratches on her body.
"Save it, just me."
When the woman saw a hint of hope in the eyes of Shi Xiao and others, she couldn't help but move a little faster.
Liu Jin in front was shocked. This woman looked to be only in her twenties. Judging from the aura on her body, she should only have half a level of cultivation.
Naturally, Liu Jin and Song Meng would not ignore death, so they rushed forward and rushed over.
But before the two of them rushed forward a few meters, a large silver-gray wolfdog suddenly appeared from behind the girl.
This wolfdog is five to six meters tall, and the hair on its body reflects the cold light like steel needles. Just its huge front paws are enough to beat a person into a pulp.
Moreover, the aura of this silver-gray wolfdog actually reached the level of a martial arts master, and there was an extremely cold aura exuding from his body.
It was so fast that it rushed behind the woman in almost the blink of an eye, and struck the girl hard on the back with its sharp and huge right claw.
If this succeeds, the girl will definitely turn into a pile of meat.
"Asshole, it's too late?!" Liu Jin secretly cried out in his heart. It was too late to rescue him at such a close distance.
But at this moment, Liu Jin only felt a black shadow flash before his eyes.
Shi Xiao's figure suddenly appeared in front of the girl, and he saw silvery white aura emerging from his whole body, which was the state of mobilizing Yin energy.
He used the characteristics of yin energy and his body skills to rush to the girl at the critical moment.
Shi Xiao didn't show any signs of panic when facing this huge silver-white wolfdog. He suddenly slapped forward.
Instantly, a huge silver-white palm print burst out from in front of Shi Xiao. This huge silver-white palm print was three or four meters high, and instantly hit the silver-gray wolfdog like a meteor.
With just one move, the huge wolf dog flew more than ten meters, and its huge body broke several giant trees before stopping.
The wolf fur on the wolf dog's body was scattered a lot, like steel needles scattered on the snow.
It couldn't help but let out a roar of pain, and then immediately stood up and looked at Shi Xiao in front of it with vigilance.
A trace of fear flashed in the silver-gray wolfhound's eyes. Although Shi Xiao's figure was very thin in its eyes, the aura emanating from his body made it very afraid.
Shi Xiao stretched out his left hand to help the woman up, and then brought her back to the team in a flash.
At this time, bursts of flute sounds suddenly came from not far away.
When the huge silver-gray wolf dog heard the sound of the flute, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and then he retreated back in a flash.
When the injured woman saw that Shi Xiao and others had saved her, her face showed the joy of surviving the disaster. However, a trace of sadness and despair flashed in her eyes.
Just when Liu Jin, Song Meng and others were about to step forward to ask the woman what happened, the woman's body went limp and she passed out.
Shi Xiao ducked in front of the woman and put his hand on her right wrist to explore.
