Chao Huan fainted from the pain. In a daze, he felt a pair of big hands lifting him up from the water, and a burst of spiritual power evaporated the water vapor on his body.
She was hugged and placed on the bed. The man covered her with a quilt and stopped moving.
She vaguely felt the man's gaze on her, but her consciousness didn't last long before she fell into deep darkness.
But the last thing I heard was a sigh.
On the other side, Yan Wuya headed north all the way. With his cultivation, he traveled very quickly and reached the ancient secret realm in just two days.
Ancient secret realms are different from ordinary secret realms. In addition to being full of dangers, more importantly, they are difficult to find. But Zhou Kong has his own methods. The jade slips he gave recorded most of the conditions of this secret realm. Even some large sects are absolutely unable to find them.
There is no such detailed information.
Different from ordinary secret realms, the opening time of the ancient secret realm is uncertain, but since Ji Kongji wants Yan Wuya to come here, it is naturally because it will be opened in the near future.
Yan Wuya waited for a day and a half, and he felt that something strange was happening. The ancient secret realm was opened in different ways. When this secret realm was opened, a purple vortex opened in the air, sucking everything around it into it.
However, Yan Wuya has already set up a barrier nearby. It is difficult for ordinary people and those with low cultivation level to detect the abnormality here. First, it is to prevent innocent people from getting involved. After all, for those people, the ancient secret realm does not represent chance, but
die.
The second is to prevent someone from snatching it. Although it is not uncommon for people to kill people and seize treasures in the world of cultivation, Yan Wuya still chooses to avoid disputes as much as possible.
At this time, as soon as the secret realm door opened, he jumped into it.
Not long after he left, a man came from afar. He stepped on the sword and wrapped his hands around it.
The huge sword under his feet was simple and heavy, with a hidden edge. At a glance, he knew that the person coming was a swordsman with considerable strength.
Noticing something strange here, he was surprised and said: "Oh? There is actually an ancient secret realm opened here."
He stretched out his hand and pinched it a few times, then nodded, "Yes, it is an ancient secret realm. And there are secret treasures in it that will be of great benefit to my disciple. Well, it's time to go explore it."
He flew with his sword, but easily crossed Yan Wuya's barrier.
The barrier set up by Yan Wuya only protects people with low cultivation levels, but those with similar cultivation levels to him can also find the entrance here if they intend to, and even if they are protected, it is of no use.
Besides, there are not many people in the world who have the same level of cultivation as him, but most of them will not suddenly appear in such a place.
Shortly after the sword cultivator left, the entrance was closed and calm returned to the air.
The ancient secret land was extremely vast, but it was filled with a strange red mist and the visibility was not high. Yan Wuya followed the map provided by the sky.
There are dangers in the mist, and from time to time, the roars of monsters are heard, and a vulture hovers in the air, staring closely at the people on the ground.
Yan Wuya once again killed a lizard-tailed wolf that rushed out. He raised his head and saw more vultures in the air.
Yan Wuya ignored it, retracted his sword and continued to move forward along the road. As soon as he left, the circling vultures landed on the body of the lizard-tailed wolf and began to eat.
The location where the solitary lantern magic branch grows is extremely hidden. It is in the deepest part of the ancient secret realm. Unless the people under the end of the daylight accidentally got lost there, probably no one would know that there is such a thing here.
When the subordinate discovered it, Gudeng Huanzhi had not yet reached maturity, and there were suspected to be high-level monsters around it. According to his speculation, the monster had at least a human Mahayana cultivation level.
That subordinate was just practicing emptiness. He prioritized his own life over greed for heavenly materials and earthly treasures, so he chose to report the situation to Zi Kong Jie, and received a reward from Zi Kong Jie. Facts have proved that this subordinate's choice was extremely correct.
of.
Because this monster has already reached the late stage of the Mahayana, and thanks to the influence of the solitary lantern magic branch, it has already broken through to the Mahayana stage, and is just a hair away from overcoming the tribulation.
The monster only needs to wait until the solitary lantern magic branch matures, and with the help of the spiritual power of the solitary lantern magic branch, it can break through all the Mahayana levels in one fell swoop and achieve the level of transcending tribulations in one fell swoop!
Now, it only takes three days for the magic branches to mature.
On the other side, Yan Wuya continued to fight for nearly half an hour. More and more monsters were attracted by the smell of blood, but most of these monsters were average in strength and were easily killed by him.
The corpses piled up at their feet, and the monsters gradually realized that this human being was not easy to bully. Instead of continuing to die one after another, they huddled in the mist and observed Yan Wuya. As soon as he showed any signs of fatigue, they would attack him in groups.
Yan Wuya also discovered this, but he was not worried. It was not impossible to destroy all these monsters with his strength, but it would take time, and even he would lose some strength.
According to the information, the most powerful monster is guarding the Gudeng Magic Branch. If you want to obtain the Gudeng Magic Branch, there will definitely be a fierce battle.
So, after killing a chicken to scare the monkeys and the monsters did not dare to act impulsively, Yan Wuya achieved his goal. He did not attack at will, but mercilessly killed those monsters that would attack him, showing an absolute determination.
strength.
After several times, some of the wise monsters were shocked by his ferocity and did not dare to step forward at will.
Yan Wuya continued to move forward, and he found that for some reason these monsters did not seem to have very good eyesight, and most of them relied on hearing and senses.
The ancient secret realm has existed for a very long time. Although it is not said to have existed since ancient times as its name suggests, it definitely has a history of tens of thousands of years. It can be said that another ecological circle has been formed here, and there is fog everywhere.
In such an environment, these monsters that have always lived here have lost their eyesight.
It is also the degradation of eyesight that makes these monster beasts' hearing and smell extremely sharp. Even if Yan Wuya is hidden in the fog, he will be discovered because of the smell of blood. In addition, he is different from Leng Xiang here.
, which makes him stand out like a beacon in the darkness.
Perhaps these monster beasts will not attack suddenly now, but as more and more monster beasts gather, the monster beasts with an overwhelming numerical advantage will be ready to move again, and then there will be another fierce battle.
Yan Wuya restrained his aura, speeded up, and decided to get the lone lantern and the magic branch before more monsters gathered.
After walking for a day, he had gradually become accustomed to the fog and the smell of blood, but at this moment, the tip of his nose smelled another smell different from that in the secret realm.
This smell is... something suddenly appeared in Yan Wuya's mind.
BBQ.
In fact, Yan Wuya doesn't eat much earthly food. His appetite is not strong in the first place. After practicing, he keeps to himself and rarely comes into contact with ordinary people. He remembers this taste when he first started practicing.
That night party on a snowy night.
"Brother, try my handiwork."
He pulled away from his memories and followed the smell. The smell of barbecue became stronger and stronger. As he got closer, the fog in front of his eyes dissipated.
Sure enough, someone lit a fire here to barbecue, and the firewood made a crackling sound. A large piece of meat was skewered on a smooth wooden stick and roasted on the fire. The person even took the spices he carried and sprinkled it on the barbecue.
The aroma of oil mixed with spices makes people want to swallow their saliva.
A man was sitting next to the fire, rubbing his hands excitedly while watching the barbecue, turning it from time to time, looking very excited.
At this time, Yan Wuya suddenly appeared. The man was obviously stunned, paused, and said, "Want to eat?"
Yan Wuya: "······"
Yan Wuya shook his head and took a look at the man. The man in his thirties looked like an ordinary man at first glance, but Yan Wuya was keenly aware of the calluses on his right hand.
The long sword beside the man also shows his identity as a sword cultivator. The long sword is as simple and unpretentious as a man, but Yan Wuya is a sword cultivator himself, so he naturally understands what a good sword is. The long sword looks ordinary.
, but it has a hidden edge and a sharp edge. If it comes to the moment of unsheathing, the edge will definitely be unstoppable.
In this way, Yan Wuya did not underestimate the other party. After all, the world of cultivation is so big, it is not surprising that there are a few weirdos who like to barbecue in the secret realm.
He nodded slightly, said hello, and was about to turn around and leave.
"Fellow Taoist, please stay." The man shouted first. He patted his butt and stood up, pretending to salute, "This is... um, Xu Xiao, I haven't asked my Taoist friend's name yet."
Yan Wuya didn't want to hide his identity, so he said: "Yan Wuya."
"Yan...Yan Wuya." There was some confusion on the man's face, and he murmured: "Why does this name sound so familiar..."
Yan Wuya didn't explain either. His reputation wasn't obvious, so it wouldn't be surprising if he didn't know him. But if he recognized him right away, it would be a bit strange.
The man didn't hesitate for too long. He looked at Yan Wuya and said, "Fellow Taoist Yan, are you here to look for the lonely lantern magic branch?"
When Yan Wuya saw Xu Xiao, he knew that the other person's goal was almost the same as his own. Xu Xiao's cultivation was on par with him. People with this level of cultivation didn't come here to find much.
It's just that he didn't have the intention to kill people and seize the treasure, so he was ready to leave. Since the purpose was the same, the worst thing was that everyone had to rely on their own abilities. However, Yan Wuya was determined to find the antidote for Chao Huan, and even if he tried his best, he still had to get the lantern magic branch.
At this moment, Xu Xiao pointed out that Yan Wuya stopped and looked back at him.
Xu Xiao smiled and said in a good temper: "I also came here to look for the solitary lantern magic branch. Yesterday I found traces of the solitary lantern magic branch, but after searching, I found that there was a monster beast with a late Mahayana cultivation level around. Then
There is only a thin line between a monster and a monster, but compared to the day when a lonely lantern and a magic branch matures, it can also accomplish the task."
Yan Wuya frowned. The information from the end of the day clearly stated that the demonic beasts only had the Mahayana, which was only in the middle stage. However, he did not expect that it was already the period of transcending the tribulation.
If it is the middle stage of the Mahayana, even if you fight hard, you will not necessarily lose. In the later stage, even with the top combat power of a sword cultivator, you can barely fight. But if the monster breaks through to the tribulation, I am afraid it will be difficult to take away the lonely lantern from its hands.
branch.
Xu Xiao obviously also knew this truth. He called Yan Wuya because he was interested in his cultivation in the middle stage of Mahayana and thought that the two of them could join forces.
Xu Xiao bluntly said that he was in the early stage of Mahayana and it was difficult to fight against the monster alone. If the two of them joined forces, the two top swordsmen would be enough to make up for the gap in cultivation and fight against the monster.
"I must take that lonely lantern and magic branch." Yan Wuya said.
Xu Xiao naturally thought of a solution, "The solitary lantern is of great benefit to my disciple, but he only needs a part of it. If the two of us join hands, the solitary lantern will naturally be divided equally."
Yan Wuya hesitated for a moment. He didn't know how many lanterns and magic branches Chao Huan would need to detoxify, but compared to taking risks and betting, getting half of them safely would be the best result.
He nodded in response: "Then so be it." This chapter has been completed!
