Now that they decided to join forces, the two temporarily formed an alliance.
Xu Xiao was a familiar person. He asked Yan Wuya to sit by the fire and enthusiastically promoted his barbecue to him.
"It's interesting to say that I was attacked by many monsters when I came here. I was very hungry from the fights. I thought about roasting meat to replenish my strength, but I was also worried that monsters would take advantage of this to attack me. I didn't expect that the fire would rise up.
, those monster beasts don’t even dare to come close.”
Yan Wuya naturally felt that the number of monsters here was relatively small. He thought they were killed by Xu Xiao, but he did not expect this to be the reason.
It's probably because the eyesight of the monsters here has deteriorated and they are subconsciously afraid of bright things. This is also a surprise. At least the two of them can reduce unnecessary consumption before the battle with the monsters.
Yan Wuya was silent, but Xu Xiao spoke freely. He said that he thought that there was a treasure in this secret realm that would be of great benefit to his disciples, so he came to explore it, hoping to find some benefits for his disciples.
After Yan Wuya heard this, he had a good impression of Xu Xiao.
Most of the masters and disciples in the world of cultivation have a normal relationship, especially those in some sects. They only accept disciples to teach them and do not care about the opportunities of the disciples. Some of them are directly left to teach independent disciples under their sects, and they themselves become the boss.
.
There are only a few people like Xu Xiao who just come here because they think that something beneficial to their disciples is here.
"Your disciple must be very good." That's why you should be so careful.
As a swordsman with a high level of cultivation, Yan Wuya knew what kind of disciple would win his favor. The most important thing for a swordsman is not their qualifications, but their character.
To cultivate immortality, you must first cultivate your heart and practice your sword. What you practice is the integration of your heart and sword.
Xu Xiao naturally understood, laughed twice, and began to talk about his disciples.
"Although I haven't practiced swordplay since I was a child, my temperament at this age is far beyond ordinary people. No matter how hard or tired I am when practicing swordsmanship, I don't slack off or play around. His senior brother always likes to tease him, and he is not surprised at all." After saying this, Xu Xiao sighed.
, "I thought I would never have a disciple in my life, but I didn't expect that I would be able to meet him again. I am lucky to have this disciple."
For a great master to sigh like this, this disciple must be extremely outstanding.
Yan Wuya has no intention of accepting disciples. He knows that he is special and does not want to delay others. If his disciples die because of him or are full of revenge, it will not be a good thing for him.
But at this moment, hearing the complacency in the other person's words, he couldn't help but have an idea.
But when he thought of that childish face in his memories, he finally gave up on this decision.
There is no such thing as day and night in the secret realm. After entering for a day or two, it was always filled with red mist. Or maybe the fog in mid-air was too thick and the sunlight could not penetrate, so there was no obvious change between day and night.
Xu Xiao and Yan Wuya estimated the time and found that there were still twelve hours before Gudeng Huanzhi matured. Xu Xiao decided to investigate the situation of the monster first.
"As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will be victorious in any battle. It is also convenient for us to plan well if we first find out the enemy's situation." Xu Xiao said.
Yan Wuya had no objection and nodded in agreement.
The two agreed that Xu Xiao would go to investigate and Yan Wuya would monitor the surrounding situation for him.
The environment where the Solitary Lantern Magic Branch is located is different from the surroundings. The place where it grows is surrounded by hundreds of meters of green grass. Other than that, there are yellow sand and dead trees. Between a clear spring, the Solitary Lantern Magic Branch has bloomed.
It blooms eight flowers, and when the ninth one blooms, it is mature.
There was no trace of the monster's blood on the green grass, but there were traces of the powerful monster. Xu Xiao speculated that the monster should be a reptile like a snake, and judging from its size, it must be extremely huge.
Although it is difficult for other monsters to approach because of the guard of this monster, the solitary lamp magic branch is about to mature, and the powerful spiritual energy it emits makes many monsters look at it with eager eyes. The figure of the monster can be seen from time to time in the mist, but because of the fear of the guarding
The monster did not dare to approach easily and could only let out an unwilling howl.
Yan Wuya stayed in a secret place to guard against the monsters in the outer circle. Xu Xiao also started to take action, and saw lotus growing at his feet, and his figure was ethereal and invisible.
What surprised Yan Wuya was that he seemed to be in a very strange situation. He was standing there, but you would subconsciously ignore him. Even though Yan Wuya kept staring at him, even if he glanced away, he would
Lost trace of each other.
But Xu Xiao didn't leave, he was still there, and he wasn't moving very fast, but you couldn't feel him.
Yan Wuya was shocked, he immediately recognized this strange technique.
Legend has it that an immortal passed down a technique when he ascended. Practitioners can hide their aura through special techniques and body movements. Those who are proficient in it can disappear into thin air in front of others. But the most powerful thing about this technique is
This is not the case, but for those who have achieved great success, they can even avoid divine punishment.
Cultivators attach great importance to oaths, especially oaths sworn to Heaven. If they are violated, they will be punished by Heaven. Heaven will rain down thunder, and very few people can survive the thunder unscathed.
Even if you don't make the oath or break it, the higher your cultivation level, you will encounter thunder every time you advance.
This skill can deceive the way of heaven and avoid thunder.
This technique is called "Hide the Heaven and Cross the Sea"
However, this technique is now only in the hands of the people in Ahanyuan, and non-orthodox bloodline cannot practice it.
Then the problem comes.
Who is this Xu Xiao? And where did he practice this method?
Yan Wuya quickly suppressed what he was thinking. No matter what, he and Xu Xiao were still allies. The top priority should be to find Lone Lantern Magic Branch.
Here, Xu Xiao hides his figure and moves towards the depths of the traces.
He walked very comfortably, strolling in the monster's territory as if it were his own backyard, but in fact it was just like that on the surface. In fact, he was a little surprised in his heart. Based on what he discovered along the way, this monster was even bigger than he imagined.
grow.
However, no matter what he felt in his heart, he still acted unhurriedly. This was not because he was doing this on purpose, but if he wanted to perfectly activate "Crossing the Sea", he must cultivate his moral character, hide his joy and anger, and turn himself into a tree or a stone.
Like that.
As he went deeper and deeper, Xu Xiao could already see part of the monster's body.
This monster coiled its body around the lone lantern magic branch. Its body was huge, but even so, it could not completely cover the area of the lone lantern magic branch. The only gap exposed was where the two people came from just now.
The demonic beast is indeed in the shape of a snake. It is different from ordinary snakes. It is blood red and can actually blend into the red mist, making people unable to find its body for a while. Where Xu Xiao is located is its tail.
The scales on its body were glowing with cold light. Looking at the material, it was probably not inferior to the sword at all.
The red snake should be sleeping at this moment. It was motionless, but Xu Xiao did not act rashly. After all, although he could get close to the red snake by relying on "Hiding the Sky", snakes are naturally good at sensing the environment, and if they make a slight mistake, they will wake it up.
Xu Xiao had seen enough, so he turned around and went back. After walking for a while, he saw Yan Wuya.
The two looked at each other and left together.
By the campfire, Xu Xiao explained in detail what he saw.
"The snake has scales all over its body to protect it. An ordinary sword will definitely not be able to hurt it, but since we are both sword cultivators, we should be able to fight it."
"Having said that, if you can attack it at its weak point, you will definitely be able to seriously injure it. But I have seen it, and the scales on the seven inches of this snake are particularly thick. If it is a weak point, you may have to find another place."
The two discussed it and decided to adapt to circumstances when the time came.
Snakes don't have many weaknesses, especially this kind of monster, which is mostly in the eyes or inside the body. Although the monster has a high level of cultivation, it is still easy to deal with it as long as you find the weakness.
After discussing the countermeasures, the two of them meditated, rested, and prepared wholeheartedly.
The lone lantern's magic branches mature for a quarter of an hour.
The two of them opened their eyes at the same time, both with serious expressions.
Not far away, wisps of rays of light had risen, lighting up almost half of the sky. The monsters couldn't suppress their restlessness, and their roars became louder and louder. This was a sign that the lantern magic branch was about to mature.
At this time, there was an earthquake, and the sound of the red snake sliding on the ground could be clearly heard. It was like a small mountain. Its huge body was hidden in the thick red mist. The two raised their heads and saw a pair of bright moons in the sky.
No, those are not the bright moon, but the two eyes of the red snake. Unlike other demon beasts, its eyesight is different from the transformation. Its eyes are bright, and it even seems to be able to see everything on the ground through the red mist. With a sweep of its tail,
The monsters that were about to move were shot away.
It noticed the two men holding swords on the ground. It had developed spiritual wisdom and immediately understood that these two human sword cultivators were very powerful. It let out a howl, which was not a snake at all. The huge roar was like
To knock people out.
But those who are here at this moment are two of the top people in the world of cultivation. Their expressions remain unchanged, and they rush straight away with a kick of their feet, aiming for the red snake-like eyes of the moon!
The red snake found that the howling was ineffective, so it got angry and threw out its tail, trying to repel the two people. Yan Wuya's long sword blocked the giant tail, and the long swords collided, making a sound like striking iron.
The scales of this red snake were indeed extremely stiff, and it was extremely powerful. Yan Wuya's eyes were cold, and he suddenly exerted force in his hand and swung his sword to drive away the giant tail.
The giant tail landed on the ground with a loud noise. The red snake was provoked again and screamed angrily, attacking Qiyan Wuya even more fiercely.
Yan Wuya held a long sword in his hand and fought hundreds of rounds with the big snake in the blink of an eye. Although the big snake had no skills, it was extremely powerful. If it was strong, it would be Yan Wuya who suffered the loss.
But he is not alone.
Here, Yan Wuya fights against the red snake alone. On the other side, Xu Xiao uses "Crossing the Sea" to quietly approach the lonely lantern magic branch.
The red snake who was attracted by Yan Wuya did not notice his presence. At this time, the lone lantern magic branch was about to mature. Xu Xiao held his breath, waiting for the lone lantern magic branch to mature, and then immediately picked it off.
This was the plan of the two of them. Previously, Xu Xiao used "Hide the Sky" without being discovered by the Red Snake, so the two of them came up with this idea. Yan Wuya, who was more powerful, went to attract the Red Snake, and Xu Xiao went to pick it.
So far, the plan was quite lucky, but just when Xu Xiao reached out to pick it, a burst of bright light suddenly burst out from the lone lantern magic branch. Even though Xu Xiao immediately reacted to avoid it, he was dazzled by the light.
The red snake also realized that it had been deceived. It howled and became even more angry. It kept twisting its body, almost trying to pull all creatures away. This chapter has been completed!
