In just over an hour, Gao Yuan arrived at the junction of the 'grey desert' and the wild forest.
It was just after Chen hour, that is, it was not yet eight o'clock in the morning, and the sun had just risen.
In addition, the weather was a bit cloudy today, and the thick dark clouds blocked most of the sunlight, making the sky and the earth look very dark.
But Gao Yuan did not stay in this borderland for long. He activated the wind spell, maintaining a height of more than one meter above the ground, and was swept into the "grey desert" shrouded in gray mist like a whirlwind.
Along the way, his spiritual consciousness naturally let go, covering an area of about one kilometer around him, not far or near.
In the outer area of the Gray Desert, those 'Shadow Demons' hidden in a mysterious shadow were naturally unable to hide under his spiritual perception.
But these low-level monsters, whether it was the rare 'source of mutation' income after killing them or the cheap primary crystallized magic core, could not arouse his interest at all.
Therefore, even when some 'shadow demons' sensed his aura and jumped out of the shadows looking for death, Gao Yuan did not stop at all.
Before these shadow demons jumped out of the shadows and landed, his body had already swayed several hundred meters away, leaving only those more or less 'shadow demons' staring in place.
…
Gao Yuan's traveling speed on the outskirts of the Gray Desert was no slower than in the wild forest.
In just over half an hour, he had crossed Qingliang City's oasis base camp in the Gray Desert and gradually approached the area where the Succubus was.
And the surrounding environment became darker and darker as he continued to go deeper.
At the same time, under the perception of his spiritual consciousness, the surrounding mysterious area where "succubi" appeared was obviously different from when he passed by it before he entered the Hunyuan Realm.
Through the powerful perception of 'spiritual consciousness', he could clearly 'see' that there was a mysterious thread-like energy like a spider web hidden in the surrounding environment.
These mysterious filamentous energies are not very densely distributed, and the distance between them is basically more than thirty meters.
Whenever he passes near these mysterious filamentous energies, the latter will spontaneously twine in his direction like living creatures.
Without causing any physical sensation to him, it gently 'rested' on his body.
And as he moves forward, these mysterious filamentous energies 'attaching' to him will continue to extend.
Even though he was thousands of meters away, these filaments of energy were not broken.
On the contrary, as he moved forward, these longer and longer energy threads disturbed more energy threads along the way.
These energy threads, which were also shocked, followed the path all the way, and finally all of them quietly 'hitched' themselves on Gao Yuan's body.
"Could it be that...these energy threads are the direct cause of the generation of succubi?"
Gao Yuan's heart suddenly moved, and he said to himself with a thoughtful look on his face.
At this time, he had completely stopped, and with the help of his spiritual consciousness, he was quietly 'looking' at these energy threads, which were silently 'draped' on his body.
"There are a total of twelve energy threads. If I let go of the blind spot of perception now, will twelve 'succubi' appear immediately at the same time?"
As soon as he thought about it, he suddenly wanted to find out.
He did it as soon as he thought of it, and immediately absorbed his consciousness.
In the direction behind him, he slowly opened up a fan-shaped blind zone with an opening of about 30 degrees.
Almost instantly, through his consciousness still covering other directions, he 'saw' the originally messy energy threads 'draped' in all directions around his body.
Suddenly, like living creatures, they spontaneously swarmed away in the direction of the opening blind spot behind him.
At the same time, he suddenly felt a large amount of familiar and unusually cold aura coming from the direction behind him.
Gao Yuan's heart moved, and he suddenly turned around and looked behind him.
Wherever you look, you can see strange figures with pale bodies appearing out of nowhere.
These pale figures, each wearing a strange and vague evil smile, stood quietly facing his direction.
Astonishingly, it was the ‘succubus’ that he had long been familiar with and couldn’t be more familiar with!
"ah!"
"ah!"
…
Seeing Gao Yuan turning around, these 'succubi' had the same reaction, and at the same time they let out a shrill and unusual scream.
A series of inexplicable chills penetrated the soul, followed by the spread of these shrill screams, and all moved towards the high distance.
But there was a layer of faint light and shadow that tightly wrapped around him.
It was the 'Tian Jue Gang Jin' that was instantly activated in the 'Condensing Abyss Style' when Gao Yuan's thoughts were turning!
No matter how these 'succubus' screamed, they were still unable to penetrate this layer of seemingly faint distorted light and shadow and have the slightest impact on the high and far body beneath it.
"One, two, three...eleven, twelve!"
"As expected, the twelve energy threads led to twelve 'succubi'!"
"From this point of view, these mysterious energy threads are indeed the source of the emergence of the 'succubus'."
"No wonder, in areas where succubi appear, blind spots for perception must be opened every once in a while to release the hidden succubi in time."
"Otherwise, once the number of energy crystal filaments wrapped around the body increases, and as these crystal filaments are stretched longer and longer, the growth rate of the number of other energy crystal filaments attracted by them will inevitably increase.
quick."
"Once it is delayed for too long and accumulated to the end, it is inevitable that there will be the amazing feat that Shi Jun mentioned at the beginning, where hundreds of 'succubi' are released at once!"
While his mind was spinning, Gao Yuan's hands continued to move.
He was seen standing there with a calm face, and a rich blood-colored halo lingered on each of his arms.
The ‘Tianshaking Fist’ and ‘Nirvana Finger’ were shot out one after another under his urging.
And these 'succubi' who rushed towards him after the screaming attack were over, were not his enemies at all.
Under his attacks of poking or smashing, each of them collapsed at the touch and turned into countless limb fragments of different shapes, flying back in the opposite direction.
Eventually, it turned into a series of system prompts that refreshed the screen, providing him with varying amounts of 'sources of mutation'.
After satisfying his curiosity for a little while, Gao Yuan did not stay here anymore.
I saw him activating the Wind Curse and continuing to gallop in the predetermined direction.
…
After a long journey all morning.
Nearing noon, Gao Yuan finally crossed the equipotential line of the 'Qingliang City Garrison Gray Desert No. 6 Forward Camp' and gradually approached the destination of his trip.
At this time, although the monsters that appeared nearby were still 'succubi', the surrounding environment was much more eerie than before.
Not only are the energy threads representing the source of the 'succubus' becoming more and more dense.
Even the 'Succubus' appears every time, and its strength is getting stronger and stronger.
Any one that is released will have the ability to compete with the late Kaiyuan realm.
At the same time, a mysterious energy aura gradually appeared in the chaotic demonic energy rolling around.
The latter was quietly mixed in with the chaotic demonic energy around it, sending out waves of strange fluctuations from time to time.
Under its influence, the spiritual consciousness that has been going all the way since entering the "grey desert" today has been slightly disturbed.
And as the distance into the Gray Desert continues to increase, the density of this mysterious energy aura continues to increase.
And the interference to Gaoyuan's spiritual consciousness is getting bigger and bigger.
Later, through the perception of his spiritual consciousness, he even faintly felt a vague and increasing suppressive force from the surrounding environment.
"Now that this so-called 'Forbidden God's Power' has appeared, I shouldn't be far from the target area of this trip!"
Upon thinking of this, he subconsciously narrowed the area covered by his consciousness and slowed down his movement speed.
And his attention became highly concentrated.
…
They marched forward for more than two hundred miles.
In the surrounding chaotic demonic energy, the mysterious aura of the 'Forbidden God's Power' has become increasingly intense.
Through the perception of his spiritual consciousness, Gao Yuan could even 'see' strange energy bodies that looked like living creatures from the chaotic demonic energy rolling around him.
The strange fluctuations emitted by the latter will not only exert a strong suppressive effect on the spiritual consciousness he releases.
Whenever his consciousness accidentally comes into contact with these more and more energy bodies, he will feel a clear and abnormal devouring force from his body, which will forcibly swallow up part of his consciousness energy.
This greatly increased the consumption rate of his spiritual consciousness, so much so that even if he took the top-quality 'Shen Yun Pill', it would be difficult to counteract this exaggerated consumption rate.
In addition, the surrounding environment has become darker and darker.
The sunlight projected from high in the sky is blocked by the extremely thick and chaotic demonic energy, and very little light can be projected to the ground.
The range of daily visibility has also been greatly reduced, and has been gradually suppressed to an area less than ten meters in diameter.
In view of this, Gao Yuan simply stopped insisting on letting his spiritual consciousness cover his surroundings.
Instead, Tanshou summoned eight "spherical combat puppets" that he had specially modified for this trip to the "grey desert".
The latter is actually not much changed from the regular version he used before.
The main thing is that each of them is replaced with a super-powerful moonstone the size of a basketball at the top.
I saw these eight 'spherical battle puppets', guided by the threads of Gaoyuan's spiritual consciousness, each maintaining a distance of seven or eight meters from him, evenly distributed in all directions around his body.
The huge moonstone placed on the top, coupled with the corresponding spotlight cover, each projects a blazing moon-white light, spreading in all directions.
Although it still cannot break through the chaotic demonic energy that is blocked around it, the light of these moonstones superimposed on each other can illuminate everything within a radius of twenty or thirty meters.
In the process, Gao Yuan moved forward in the established direction.
At this time, he was gradually approaching. He spent 10,000 merit points to obtain the outer boundary of the "Blue Zone" marked on the "Grey Desert North No. 16" map obtained from the Exile Alliance.
"According to the intelligence data, if you go south for about ten miles from here, you will reach the boundary of the 'yellow zone'. At that time, you will gradually begin to encounter 'weird demons'!"
Gao Yuan stopped, looked at the chaotic demonic energy rolling in the distance, and said softly.
At this time, he was standing on the top of a small mountain peak with a height of less than 200 meters.
The latter has a sinister and strange appearance. From a distance, it looks like the head of a huge bird, which is very recognizable.
It is for this reason that it is regarded as a natural landmark.
It is also marked on the "Grey Desert North No. 16" map in Gao Yuan's hand, and it is located at the outer boundary of this map.
And since Gao Yuan is here, it naturally means that he is very close to the destination of his trip!
…
Regardless of the consumption, he released his spiritual consciousness. Gao Yuan instantly 'saw' the energy threads representing the 'succubus' hidden around a group of strange energy bodies.
He walked forward skillfully, lured them out one by one, and then killed them all.
Then he returned to the top of this bare hill, took out an armchair from the storage space, and leaned in comfortably.
At the same time, I took advantage of this short period of peace to relieve the physical and mental fatigue caused by rushing all the way.
While following the checklist listed before departure, I checked my various preparations one by one.
Make sure you don't miss anything after you set out for a while.
…
An hour flies by in a blink of an eye.
During this period, Gao Yuan would release his spiritual consciousness every once in a while to check whether there were any new 'succubi' wandering around.
Until, with the help of his own spiritual consciousness, he 'saw' several energy threads growing out of the depths of the void in a nearby area not far away, like sprouts.
He just stood up refreshed and ready to set off to hunt the 'Weird Demon'.
…
According to the established preparation procedures, Gao Yuan methodically chanted curses and kneaded formulas, and activated various secret techniques one after another.
The strongest versions of the spells such as the 'Protective Paper' and the 'Golden Light Spell' each brought intense vibrations in the surrounding void, and were cast by him one after another.
Then came various defensive talismans, which he activated one by one and attached them all to his body.
And around his waist was a double-layered 'combat belt' that he made himself.
This kind of 'battle belt', which is carefully sewn with soft leather from the belly of a second-level monster beast, has only one advantage, and that is that it has a lot of pockets. The upper and lower layers add up to almost twenty pockets.
There are various second-level talismans and third-level 'jade talismans' with different functions, as well as various elixirs poured from medicine bottles such as 'Yun Shen Dan' and 'Di Fu Dan'.
He put them in the pockets of his 'combat belt' in categories according to his own usage habits, so that he could easily take the elixirs and so on immediately.
Compared with directly using a storage bag with a huge space, this kind of 'combat belt' is not very beautiful and even looks a bit cumbersome.
But in actual combat, it can save him the time of entering the storage space and looking for the corresponding items when picking up items!
…
After going through a series of preparation steps and checking everything in detail.
Gao Yuan reached out and touched the storage bag hidden in his cuffs, and ten more 'humanoid combat puppets' of different shapes appeared in front of him.
Together with the eight 'spherical battle puppets' that served as street lamps, they followed his figure and slowly walked deeper into the 'grey desert'.
…
"Bang!"
A "Finger of Nirvana" wrapped in a rich deep purple halo was shot out casually, and the last of the eight "Succubus" was exploded in the air.
Gao Yuan's gaze just touched the fragments that the latter had transformed into, and then quickly moved away.
At this time, as he moved forward, the surrounding terrain also slowed down further.
According to the map of the 'Grey Desert North No. 16' area, he was already at the junction of the blue and yellow areas.
In other words, there is a possibility that he will encounter a 'devil' at any time now.
Therefore, Gao Yuan did not dare to relax at this time.
Although he knew that his spiritual consciousness could not detect the hidden 'demon', he still released it regardless of consumption.
I just hope that the moment the 'Weird Demon' appears, we can immediately sense the slight disturbance it causes to the surrounding environment when it appears.
At the same time, his spirit is also highly concentrated.
His eyes were like radar, periodically moving towards the area illuminated by the 'spherical battle puppet', rapidly scanning back and forth, not missing any suspicious traces.
…
We walked some distance further.
At the moment Gao Yuan's eyes glanced towards his right.
He suddenly felt something in his heart and looked sharply in the direction behind him.
In the direction behind him, a strange-looking creature caught his eye.
It has a body that is very similar to humans. Whether it is the overall proportion of limbs and trunk, or the outline of the muscles around the body, they are very similar to normal humans.
Only the weird bluish-purple keratinous skin and the evil lines all over his body revealed his unusual identity.
The monster's body was surrounded by an unusually thin layer of translucent light and shadow.
At a glance, it is very similar to the 'gang qi' passively generated by monks in the Hunyuan Realm.
Under its cover, the monster's humanoid body also became hazy.
I saw this humanoid monster that was completely naked and covered with strange horny skin. All the muscles in its body were contracted and tense, giving it a sneaky look.
And at some point, he had quietly touched a position less than three meters behind Gao Yuan.
"Devil!"
Gao Yuan saw this and his pupils suddenly shrank.
Without even thinking about it, the 'Ning Yuan Style Tian Jue Gang Jin' instantly enveloped his whole body under his guidance.
At the same time, this 'weird demon' seemed to already know that Gao Yuan had discovered him.
Immediately he stopped sneaking around, and his slightly arched body dived down again as if gathering momentum, and then rushed towards Gaoyuan like lightning.
"Ho~!"
He didn't even see it open its mouth, but heard a low roar like ventriloquism, which caused a series of exciting vibrations, heading high and far away like a tsunami.
Affected by it, the 'Ning Yuan Style Tian Jue Gang Jin' that had not seen the slightest change even after encountering continuous bombardments from the low-grade talisman 'Qing Lan Chi' suddenly began to vibrate with the naked eye.
But it quickly stabilized with the cooperation of the 'soul-suppressing seal' and 'protective shield' suspended above Gao Yuan's head.
"Boom!"
It was accompanied by a dull explosion like a drum.
I saw only the muscles of this ‘weird demon’ and its claws covered with rugged horniness.
Heavily and Gao Yuan's right fist, which was wrapped from the outside to the inside, was wrapped with the 'Golden Light Curse' glove, 'Ning Yuan Style Tian Jue Gang Jin', and 'Protective Blood Light', and collided with each other in the air.
In an instant, Gao Yuan's body, under the influence of a huge counter-shock force, involuntarily took four or five steps back.
Just as he stabilized his body with a clever force, his eyes subconsciously looked at his right fist.
I saw that the layer of golden gloves formed by the 'golden light curse' had already exploded directly from the close blows from both sides.
Although the 'Ning Yuan Style Tian Jue Gang Jin' and 'Protective Blood Light' did not collapse due to this, they had a huge concussive force. Taking advantage of the momentary contact between the two, they directly acted on his right fist.
above.
Even with his strong physical strength that he had been practicing so far, he was unable to be immune to this concussive force.
The entire right fist and the small half of the arm behind it also felt a deep pain, and there was a slight itching feeling.
When he thought of this, Gao Yuan was secretly shocked in his heart.
He was shocked that the attack ability of the 'Weird Demon' was even more powerful than he expected!
