Chapter 104: In danger of catastrophe
On the west horizon, the red half-wind sunset was about to fall. The cool evening breeze gently blew the desolate fields.
Suddenly, the shadow of a meditator was mysteriously revealed on the empty grass. The figure was hazy at first, as faint as smoke, and after a few breaths, it became completely clear.
There was a silence in his ears! Bian Yao suddenly opened his eyes, turned his head vigilantly and looked around, without notice any movement or danger around him. He let out a sigh of relief.
The grassland is surprisingly peaceful. The breeze blowing on the face and the drowsy color under the sky after sunset seem to be telling something quietly. Everything looks beautiful and peaceful.
Bian Yao slapped the ground with his palms and suddenly stood up. He first looked around, then turned to stare towards the northwest, which was the direction where the group of people had escaped.
Without thinking too much, the team will definitely be gone! According to the speed of their running, they cannot escape from the locust ants' siege area. If nothing unexpected happens, the others should have become the objects in the belly of the locust ants.
Before we could go deep into the Ranyuan, the team had collapsed! Of course, encountering the "locust tide" can only be considered an extremely unlucky accident. Every year, there will inevitably be some teams traveling through Ranyuan. Unfortunately, all the members were eliminated in the beast tide or insect tide, which could not be avoided! Since you have the courage to enter Ranyuan, you must be mentally prepared to withstand various accidents.
The fiery sunset has completely disappeared, leaving only the sunset in the sky brightly in the west.
Bian Yao stood there blankly for a moment of thinking, dispelling the idea of returning to Jade City to find a team again. Not only did he waste a lot of time, even if he found another team, he might not be able to arrive in Shu County safely.
He decided to take a little risk first and walk alone for the time being. Anyway, he has the special ability to "invisible". As long as he is always cautious, he should not encounter danger in a short period of time.
Generally speaking, there will be at least five or six teams every day, starting from Jade City and entering the chaotic place. If you are lucky, in less than a few days, Bian Yao should be able to meet other teams or dream cultivators who have been separated by accidents.
Although deep in his heart, he also had the impulse to pass through Ranyuan alone, he would not really do that because he knew his strength very well. Bian Yao has always been a cautious person, which is related to his childhood experience, coupled with the teachings of Ye Zizi later. Especially in dangerous and unfamiliar environments, he would never make decisions blindly.
After some careful consideration, Bian Yao turned around and ran towards the southwest. First of all, he wanted to make sure that he would not encounter the "locust tide" returning, so he should stay as far away as possible from the route it moved.
Half an hour later, the sky was completely dark and the twinkling stars began to embellish the night.
Bian Yao stopped running and listened for a while. There was no sound except the sound of wind and grass blowing, and there was no sound of autumn insects. It seemed that being swept by the "locust tide" would be completely quiet for a while in a short period of time.
After sitting down on the grass casually, after eating two spiritual fruits, Bian Yao lay down with his head in his hands, staring at the stars in the night sky with wide eyes, and couldn't help but start to think randomly. He was still scared of what happened during the day.
For those sword maniacs who insist on walking alone, the possibility and probability of death are also very high. However, the choice of wandering alone is not only because of their conceited nature, strong strength and survival experience, there is another most important reason: that is, to overcome various unexpected dangers through experience and experience, so as to seek opportunities or factors that can help break through the bottleneck of cultivation.
There is no doubt that for Bian Yao, walking alone was a temporary decision he made under his own necessity, not his original intention and wish. He neither had the speed and combat power of the sword maniac, nor some special abilities that Meng Maniac would have in the later stage. Now he does not have the basic conditions to break into the original state alone. If he keeps walking alone like this, it can only be said that he is seeking death!
Since he was walking alone, there was no need to worry about revealing his own secrets. That night, in order to avoid unexpected dangers, Bian Yao hid his body after entering the dream.
The air is slightly cool in the morning, and the scent on the grassland is refreshing and pleasant.
It was dark and the stars above my head had not yet disappeared. Bian Yao stood up and continued to rush towards the southwest, walking alone in the scattered place, so he naturally had to be more careful and harder than before.
Running all the way, it is better to travel in the grassland area. If you encounter wet lands with ponds, it will be troublesome, and the annoying dry sand and wild woodlands will be much more difficult and dangerous. In general, so far, what Bian Yao has walked through is considered a good section of the road.
As noon approached, Bian Yao stopped and sat on the grass for a short rest and adjustment.
A moment later, when he stood up, he accidentally found a small figure behind him and was running towards him.
Bian Yao looked at the figure that was constantly approaching, and he was naturally very happy. He did not expect to meet other teams or people who were alone in a short period of time. No matter what, being in a dangerous place is better than being alone in a companionship.
He stood there motionlessly, waiting quietly. Not long after, the figure rushed to the front and stopped one meter away.
The person who came was a middle-aged man wearing a slightly broken pale yellow dress with many small holes on it. There were also several small wounds on his ears and face, as if he had been bitten by something. The man's face showed a few traces of fatigue, and he looked a little embarrassed.
Bian Yao stared at the man and looked at him for a few seconds. From the direction he came, he guessed and judged that the other party was most likely attacked by locust ants. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised! Although he could not know the other party's specific cultivation level, he could feel that the man in yellow should be a dream man, so he took a gaze.
"My friend, have you encountered a tide of locusts?" Bian Yao thought for a while and asked the man in yellow.
"That's right, I originally took a team of early dreams to Shu County. I didn't expect that I encountered a tide of locust ant yesterday afternoon. Fortunately, I was on the edge of the insect tide attack area, and I was the only one in the entire team to escape! Are you alone, or...?" The man in yellow gasped for a few breaths, then looked up at Bian Yao, and asked with confusion.
"I am the same as you. Fortunately, I was on the edge of the locust tide attack route at that time, so I could save my life. However, the whole team ran away, so I could only walk alone for the time being." Bian Yao looked at the man and smiled slightly, answering half-true and half-falsely.
"Just get separated? Or are the others eaten by locusts?" the man asked with a smile, but the wounds on his face made his smile look a little scary.
After hearing this, Bian Yao felt a brief moment of stagnation, and then smiled and said, "When I encountered such a situation, I was just focused on escaping, so I didn't pay attention to other people's situations, but I should be more than the only one who escaped."
"Following the direction and route my friend is going to Shu County. Since that's the case, it's better for us to walk together and look for teams or people who are alone on the way." The man in yellow stared at Bian Yao and looked carefully for a few more times, and suddenly spoke and suggested.
"Sorry! I have something else to do, so it's not convenient to walk with others at the moment." Bian Yao's face was gloomy and he hurriedly found an excuse to reject the man's proposal.
From the reply from the man in yellow just now, it can be initially determined that the other party is a mid-stage dream maniac. In this way, he has to cheer up and deal with it carefully. If the other party is also a late-stage dream maniac, or an early-stage dream maniac, perhaps he will choose to walk with him without hesitation.
Although the man in yellow in front of him looked quite friendly, this may be because the other party did not know his true strength and regarded himself as a dream cultivator at the same level. Once he walked with him, his true realm would easily be exposed. If the other party became malicious after learning that he only had the late stage of the Dream Walker, he would definitely not be his opponent! He might be worried about his life!
When the proposal of his colleague was rejected, the man in yellow showed a little surprise on his face, but he didn't say anything more. He just smiled and then meditated on the spot to rest.
Seeing this, Bian Yao said goodbye to the man, turned around and ran southwest at a very fast speed.
After walking and sleeping at night, I spent two days safely.
On the third day, Bian Yao entered a wetland covered with ponds. He had to slow down his speed and observe carefully around and nearby to prevent ferocious beasts from hiding in some deep water ponds.
In the evening, Bian Yao decided to stop rushing ahead of time. He bent down and washed his face in a clear pond, and then began to look for relatively dry areas. After half a stick of incense, he sat cross-legged on a slightly wet grass and took out a few spiritual fruits from the space bag to eat.
The sunset in autumn is very beautiful, and the clouds in the sky are like bright silk, brilliant.
Sitting on the side of the road, putting his right arm on his knee, quietly watching the sunset while waiting for the twilight to come.
Suddenly, a warning flashed in his heart, and he quickly shook his face and looked in a certain direction behind him, and his pupils suddenly shrank. Not far away, a figure was approaching him quietly. Judging from his appearance, it was the man in yellow that he had seen two days ago.
In an instant, Bian Yao felt something was wrong! He didn't speak, but just stood up slowly, stared at the man in yellow walking towards him, and a cold sweat broke out from behind.
The man in yellow stopped at a distance of less than two feet away from the edge, let out a few strange laughs with a ferocious face, and said, "Steal the calligraphy of the practice of the exercises on you!"
"What kind of calligraphy is used to practice martial arts? Why do you follow me?" Bian Yao felt a little confused, and then anger surged in his eyes, as if he felt very hatred of the man's behavior!
"I felt strange at first. You are very young and your realm is definitely not much higher. But you can not only escape from the locust tide, but also dare to walk alone after losing the team, which means you must have some support! I can see that you lied to me. It turned out that I wanted to follow you out of curiosity. In the past three days, from your speed and some actions, you should be a late-stage dream walker, at most you only have the strength of the early stage of Dream Crazy. It would be fine if you only have these, but I never expected that you could hide your body when you stay at night!" When the man in yellow said this, he couldn't help but laugh, looking very excited and excited!
After hearing the man's words, Bian Yao couldn't help but grit his teeth, and at the same time he secretly blamed himself. No matter how cautious he was, it still aroused the other party's suspicion and failed to notice being followed by him. The key was that he had inadvertently exposed his secret!
"Hurry hand over the skill that can hide your body! You can choose to hand over it with it on your own, or I can take it with you. You should understand the difference!" The man in yellow smiled and said the threatening words while walking a few more steps forward.
The sunset in the sky gradually dissipates, and the faint twilight begins to come to the earth.
Bian Yao clenched his fists and stood like a wooden man. He felt extremely nervous! This was a crisis that had never happened before. No one would suddenly appear to help. If you want to survive, you can only rely on yourself! He knew very well that it was inevitable to do something, because he could not give up the so-called "hiding body technique" at all! And the man in yellow would not believe his words at all!
"That set of exercises was passed down to me by someone else's verbs. It's very complicated. I don't store the book that records that set of exercises." Bian Yao said angrily with his eyes and hummed. He forced himself to calm down, wanting to delay time as much as possible. When the sky darkens, he may be able to rely on the cover of the night and use the geographical environment to escape.
"Don't delay the time! There are many people who die at my hands. If you have any tricks and ideas, it's best to put them away as soon as possible!" The man in yellow might have guessed his thoughts and laughed coldly: "Give you ten breaths to think about it! Throw the space bag first, otherwise don't blame me for doing it!"
"Okay!" Bian Yao paused and said, "You go back a little, I'll give you the space bag first! If you don't believe it, you can check whether there is what you want in it yourself."
A gust of evening wind blew, and the tense atmosphere became stronger.
Because of the lack of experience in the past, unfortunately, he was stared at by a person with bad intentions. In the vast and boundless chaos, the young Bian Yao was in a desperate situation of helplessness!
(ps: The cold is almost gone, and I am in a mental state and I am writing, muhaha...)
