Chapter 13 Going out for a trip and doing a lot of wild things
Chapter 13: Going out for a wild trip and learning a lot
"Bandits, they rob if you don't give."
Xiao Yu stared at the several six-level demon elements in Hu Tao'er's hand and replied to her. But these words were a bit thought-provoking. They seemed like questions and statements, which made Hu Tao'er choke at once.
There, I was speechless for a moment.
"But... everyone has their own secrets. If you don't tell me, I won't ask. I have to take risks on this trip. Maybe I will be hung up and beaten by the master when I come back! So, I want three
Ten six-level demon essence isn’t too much, it’s not even worth half a seven-level demon essence!”
Xiao Yu fiddled with the foam in her nails and muttered carelessly.
Hu Tao'er opposite was silent for a while, and then she showed an expression that looked like she had been cut. She was making weird noises and stomping her feet in place, very crazy.
Saying that, Hu Tao'er quickly put away the demon element in her hand, and at this moment, Xiao Yu raised her eyebrows, and there was a flash of certainty in her heart about some speculations.
The two agreed to go to Blind Mountain immediately after nightfall. After eating and drinking, Xiao Yu also returned to his tree house.
After putting on clean clothes, Xiao Yu sat cross-legged on the futon and began to meditate.
The fatigue all over her body was relieved after replenishing her physical strength. She quickly fell into concentration and entered her own consciousness. A concrete version of herself immediately appeared in the spiritual sea.
This night's tossing has consumed most of the spiritual energy floating in the spiritual sea, and it has almost bottomed out. Spiritual energy is also constantly seeping out from the life essence, rapidly filling the emptiness of the spiritual sea.
Xiao Yu once again stood in front of his fate.
After successfully advancing to the middle stage of Yuancheng last time, she had an illusion that when she left the spiritual sea, she seemed to have a brief auditory hallucination: her life force beat like a heart!
The huge sphere of life source is still suspended in the gray spiritual sea, but at this time, the life source has a very obvious boundary, like a rolling mass of blood-red magma, covered by a golden-red metal body.
She didn't know what their life source was like in other people's spiritual seas, but at this moment Xiao Yu stood in front of the life source, like a small ant, being looked down upon by this life source that was like a huge planet.
From between the gaps in the surface patterns, the source spirit is like countless trapped beasts, sometimes impacting towards the surface of the sphere. Each impact causes the patterns around the impact point to emit a brief metallic luster, which shines like neon towards the sphere.
Golden red spread out all around, then quickly shrank.
The pattern is like a mysterious totem from ancient times. It makes people feel weird but at the same time there are no specific rules to follow, just like a random scribbling on it.
The metal objects that can make up these patterns are each one foot thick, and are all golden and red. They are attached to the surface of the life source sphere like flat chains, and are intertwined with no head or tail.
At the edges of these gold-red chains, each one is about a foot wide in black, but the area currently occupied by this black part is too small, and it is not enough to make the surface of the sphere show too much black.
Presumably, after these gold-red chains turn completely black, it will be not far from the late Yuancheng period. Xiao Yu is very much looking forward to the changes that will happen next.
She gently approached the life star in front of her and stretched out her hand to one of the golden and red chains. She was surprised to find that the touch of this golden and red chain was so real!
When you are not close, it is like the severe cold of winter, but when you touch it, it is like the warm sunshine of spring. This life element seems to have life, like a cold monarch. It looks cold when viewed from a distance. Only those who are really close can appreciate its warmth.
At the moment of contact, there seemed to be a faint consciousness coming from it. That consciousness seemed like an emotion that had been suppressed for too long, and also like a proud fighting spirit from a distant era. In that short moment, it was like Xiao Yu.
There was a wonderful resonance in my heart!
After a night of Wu Yuguo's tossing and ensuring that there was no abnormality in his life source and spirit sea, Xiao Yu withdrew from consciousness, and then focused his senses on his right hand.
In Xiao Liu's memory, she and Ji Xing learned swordsmanship for ten years, and her sword was hidden in the only broken world she created on her right hand. This broken world could just accommodate a long sword.
sword.
Xiao Yu stretched out her right hand in front of her body, concentrating all her energy and feeling the beating spiritual power on her fingertips. As the summoning intention emerged, the spiritual power on her fingertips suddenly rolled, forming a small vortex, and a black hole the size of a bowl followed.
The vortex slowly appeared.
A snow-white long sword slowly floated out from the black hole. Xiao Yu suddenly grabbed the hilt and pulled out the remaining sword body!
This sword is so simple that it lacks any decoration. In addition to the whole body and hilt, which is completely white, it also feels a little cold to the touch. If you didn't hold it with a real metallic feeling in your hand, you would mistakenly think it was made of ice and snow.
This sword was accidentally obtained by Jiexing from the ice and snow when he was traveling in the north ten years ago. It was also near where he found this sword that he picked up Xiaoliu, so it was logical that this sword was given to Xiaoliu as a personal
thing.
This sword is called...Jian by Xiao Liu, because she hasn't thought of a name yet.
Holding the sword in his hand, Xiao Yu mobilized his spiritual power and injected it into the sword. With the injection of spiritual power, the sword body emitted a crystal-white light, shining like a bright moon shining on the white snow.
Xiao Yu felt the power of the sword. She had also seen the Blue Moon Sword from Jiexing. In comparison, compared to the power of the Blue Moon Sword that shook the world, the power of this sword was like the power of a firefly.
Can't compare with this one.
It seemed that... it was not forged in pursuit of power, but in another direction. Because at this moment Xiao Yu held the sword in his hand, and he actually felt a sense of connectedness.
As if the two swords were one, when Xiao Yu's spiritual power filled the sword body, the sword body suddenly felt a slight beating feeling, which hit Xiao Yu's heartstrings every time, as if urging Xiao Yu to do something.
something.
The memory flashed again, and Xiao Yu held the sword upright in front of him, with the sword facing down and gently touching the ground.
What was in her mind was the landscape screen in Jiexing Hut, which happened to be as white as the sword in her hand. At this moment, Xiao Yu's consciousness was wrapped in silver that she had described countless times.
Her mood instantly became high, and her thoughts arose. The spiritual power began to slowly release from her body to the surroundings through the sword body. Xiao Yu's red spiritual power particles in her consciousness continued to penetrate into the surrounding air until they filled the entire tree.
Room.
The next moment, as the scene in Xiao Yu's consciousness became clearer and clearer, white ripples spread from the sword body, and a strong dye began to wash away in all directions.
Wherever the white passed, with her as the center, the simple scene in the tree house began to change rapidly. From the inside out, it turned into a miniature winter snow scene in more than ten breaths!
The only difference is that Jixing's hut is an interface made of magic. Xiao Yu relied on Jixing's spell to cast a spell to change the interface.
Xiao Yu's tree house is a real space, so Xiao Yu's spell can only cover the interior surface of the house like a layer of gauze, and cannot change the essence of the place.
If she wanted to change the essence, or even open up a Taoist altar space in this tree house like Jiexing, I'm afraid she would need to continue to study hard in the future.
Although the fruitlessness caused her to almost explode to death last night, compared to the torture, the benefits it brought her afterward were more considerable.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Hu Tao'er helped her indirectly. Thinking of this, Xiao Yu's resentment towards Hu Tao'er was no longer so heavy.
Xiao Yu picked up the sword in his hand, waved his arm, and swung it towards the scene in front of him. As the white sword shadow passed through it, the snowy scene in the tree house instantly disappeared, as if waking up from a dream, the tree house returned to its original appearance in the blink of an eye, leaving only
Scattered snowflakes and ice dust in the air.
The spell was successfully activated again. Xiao Yu was satisfied with the sword in his hand and waved it freely in his hand. He waved the sword boredly, his wrist was more than flexible, and he chopped down the ice crystals that were still floating in the air.
And just as the largest ice crystal floated to the door not far away, Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, the spiritual power in his hand trembled violently, poured into the sword body, and stabbed towards the ice crystal fiercely.
Coincidentally, Hu Tao'er just pushed the door open and entered.
A cold sword energy suddenly rushed out in front of her eyes and rushed toward her very quickly. Although it was only a small wisp, the sword energy contained Xiao Yu's full spiritual power and was extremely fast, moving straight towards her with the force of lightning.
Running Fox Taoer faces the door.
However, Hu Taoer's reaction was also extremely alert, and she quickly stepped back and tried to avoid it. But she did not expect that the power of the sword was so powerful. Although she escaped most of the sword's power, she was still hit by the remaining power.
In the middle, it was blown away.
Hu Tao'er threw her head up and down, dumbfounded, and fell there, not knowing whether she was dead or alive.
After a long time, a cough came from outside the tree house, and the fox was still alive.
"You...are you trying to kill me, killing people and stealing money..."
Clutching her chest in pain, Hu Taoer struggled to get up from the ground, looking at Xiao Yu with a painful face, her eyes were red. If she hadn't dodged the sword quickly, she would have been killed!
Xiao Yu stood up from the futon, held a sword and walked out of the tree house. She walked towards Hu Tao'er step by step. She didn't stop until she came to her.
"Fifteen steps... too lethal!"
Xiao Yu looked surprised, looked at the snow-white sword in his hand, and sighed repeatedly.
And she noticed that Hu Taoer beside her had rolled up her sleeves, so she waved her hand, and the sword returned to the black hole. In the blink of an eye, her face changed, an apology appeared on her face, she stretched out her right hand again, and touched it.
It had already rushed to the forehead of Hu Taoer, who was half a head shorter than her.
"Don't be angry. I really didn't know you were at the door, let alone testing the sword with you. It's getting dark, and if we really fight, we won't be able to go today!"
Hu Tao'er was so angry that her fangs were exposed, her sleeves had been rolled up, and she was about to give it a try when she was stopped by Xiao Yu's hand.
But she also felt that what Xiao Yu said made sense. The other party had been recovering her spiritual power in the tree house all afternoon. She was originally here to urge her to leave, but she almost sacrificed her sword without thinking.
But if her anger was not vented, she would feel uncomfortable, so she punched Xiao Yu's hand aside, pouted, stared, and put her hands into fists by her sides.
Somehow, Xiao Yu thought Hu Taoer looked very cute like a child!
"Okay... why don't you hang a bell next time, and I'll know when you come in again."
Xiao Yu comforted her and stretched out her hand towards Hu Taoer's head, trying to smooth her hair like an old tree. Moreover, she had wanted to do this for a long time.
But Hu Taoer still ignored her, as if she was trying to digest her emotions and avoid exploding. After all, we still had to do big things together tonight.
Seeing Hu Tao'er like this, Xiao Yu curled her lips, raised her eyebrows, and took a few steps back. She glanced at the cliff to the north. After confirming that nothing was wrong, she stretched out her right hand in front of the two of them, and spread her fingers.
, a black hole half a man's height appeared in front of the two of them.
Black holes are smaller and harder to detect.
As soon as the black hole appeared, Hu Taoer's eyes lit up instantly! The anger just now disappeared, and her face was filled with uncontrollable excitement. And Xiao Yu took advantage of the situation and spread his hands towards the black hole, making a "please" gesture.
Hu Tao'er was so excited that she ran over and was about to dive in. But as soon as she raised her left foot, she saw Xiao Yu's evil smile. This smile scared her and she quickly retracted her foot.
"you go first!"
As she said that, Hu Taoer moved back a little to make room for Xiao Yu, for fear that the other party would trick her. Xiao Yu, on the other hand, pretended to be helpless and stepped in first.
"We should be somewhere south of the center of Blind Mountain. Is that okay?"
Xiao Yu was half in the black hole, turned around and stuck out his little head and asked.
“A bit off the beaten track, but safe.”
Hu Tao'er said, and then she got in with peace of mind.
At the same time, behind the northern cliff, Ji Xing was sitting alone in the Taoist altar. In front of him was a small virtual mirror, which reflected the scene in front of Xiao Yu's tree house.
The area around the futon he was sitting on was just like in Xiao Yu's tree house. The air was filled with floating ice dust and snowflakes. This was formed by the spiritual power left over from Xiao Yu's spell cast when he was in retreat here last night.
In the virtual mirror, he saw Xiao Yu and Hu Taoer sneaking into the black hole of the boundary gate, and then the black hole quickly shrank into a black spot, and finally disappeared under the night.
"Well... going out is indeed a lot more wild than before. Let's see what you are going to do this time..."
Ji Xing whispered to himself.
The virtual mirror flickered, and in an instant it was reflected in the dense forest deep in Blind Mountain.
As expected, the soul will never return. In the depths of the dense forest, even though the moon was high in the sky, there was almost no light coming through the forest.
In the dark forest, a black hole quietly opened. Xiao Yu and Hu Taoer fell from the black hole and landed on a very tall tree. The branches were lush, the trunk was strong, and it grew straight into the sky.
At this time, they landed on a thick branch branched from the main trunk, looking around in the dark night, sometimes looking down, holding their breath, paying attention to every breath around them.
This other world was still too strange and bizarre for Xiao Yu. When she looked to the west, even though her senses were turned on, she found that there were few lights in this other world after nightfall.
Only the few countries where the human race is located have a few scattered lights. It doesn’t take much to know that places where people have fun at midnight naturally have to be brightly lit.
In the Huoli Kingdom to the northwest of the soul, there was an extremely bright light. Through his senses, Xiao Yu saw the familiar four-cornered tall building.
She stared there for a while, sighed, and then gently fell from the tree together with Hu Taoer. Their figures blended into the dark night, and they could not be spotted unless they looked carefully.
After two years of absence, Hu Taoer finally stepped on the soft soil again.
"Shh..."
As soon as the two landed, Hu Taoer reminded Xiao Yu to be silent.
The place where they landed at this time was exactly south of the center of the Blind Mountain and north of the gray barrier, which was near the territory of the Great Demon King.
"Let's go north first to pick up something, and then come back to give the Great Demon King a gift."
Hu Tao'er whispered in Xiao Yu's ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear. Then, she jumped up towards a tree in the north, turned around and waved to Xiao Yu, gesturing for her to follow.
.
And Xiao Yu also stepped forward, jumped up, and came to her side.
"Go get what?"
Xiao Yu asked softly.
Hu Taoer smiled mysteriously at Xiao Yu.
"baby!"
With that said, he started to lead Xiao Yu towards the north.
"We try to stay in the tree and don't fall to the ground. There are too many strange things on the ground, and they might crawl up our laps at some point. Eh...it makes me sick just thinking about it!"
As they walked, Hu Taoer kept talking. Xiao Yu's legs felt uncomfortable when he heard these words, and he looked at the dark land under the tree from time to time.
At this time, Xiao Yu had opened all her senses and maximized her vision. Somehow, although she knew that Xiaoliu had been here before, just now, when her feet landed on the land where the soul had not returned, there was an indescribable feeling.
of discomfort.
The kind of fear that penetrates from the heart is like being forced into a huge tomb. It is blinding, chest tight and suffocating, which makes people not want to stay for a moment.
It was already late at night, and from time to time there were sounds of wild beasts fighting in the soul, and strange whimpering occasionally came from behind. If I hadn't known that this was a human race, I would have thought that I was in a ghost forest.
Speaking of this, this place is also a strange place. The woodland stretches for hundreds of miles. Most of the outer areas are places where humans hunt and survive, while the middle part within a radius of a hundred miles is inhabited by many strange beasts and monsters.
Today, Xiao Yu and Hu Tao'er are located slightly south of this central part. But they are heading to the central territory where their souls have never returned, crossing this place and heading north. And there, Hu Tao'er told Xiao Yu that there was a nine-story
He is a great demon who has cultivated himself to the ninth level a few years ago.
This big demon is the target of Xiao Yu and the others this time.
A third-level demon clan and a human cultivator in the middle stage of Yuancheng were like two phantoms, shuttling through the invisible center, trying their best to hide their auras.
Tonight, none of them want to be food.
The forest was so dense that light from the outside could hardly shine in, and their figures were well concealed.
The two of them were moving very fast, and the trees under their feet were tall and strong. No matter how hard they stepped on them, they would only be slightly shaken, and then calm down the next moment.
Among them, some trees also exude bursts of strange energy. This energy is not like ordinary spiritual power, nor is it demonic power. It is more like a strange energy that has been growing in the dark for too long, with a cold feeling.
A few dozen miles away, in the blink of an eye, Hu Taoer's footsteps stopped under a towering tree. Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yu also came to Hu Taoer's side.
This tree grows wildly towards the sky. It is unusually tall and towers dozens of feet into the sky. Its branches and leaves are like giant umbrellas, covering the sky and the earth. The trunk is so thick that ten adults may not be able to surround it. What is even more terrifying is that the tree is constantly emitting odors.
Intense demonic power.
This demonic power showed a dark color in Xiao Yu's sense consciousness, overflowing from the trunk of the giant tree like thick ink and spreading to all directions. Xiao Yu felt a chill when he was in it.
She always felt that the tree was staring at her.
Around this demonic tree, there was no living thing in a large area, and even the thin trees that originally grew in the same place died there as if their nutrients had been sucked dry.
Hu Tao'er told Xiao Yu that the tree was called the Moonwood Demon, and it had been standing for thousands of years. It was a spiritual tree, and had it not been for the weak spiritual power of the human race, it would have grown into an adult.
On the ground around the Moon Wood Demon, there were many long and thin things piled up randomly, and Hu Taoer's purpose of coming here was just these things.
Hu Taoer walked towards the demon tree, stared at the tree for a while, and then started to pick up things on the ground. When Xiao Yu saw this, he quickly ran over.
"What are these?"
Xiao Yu asked in a low voice, but Hu Tao'er didn't seem to hear it. As he said that, Xiao Yu also picked up one. Only when he held it in his hand did he realize that these things that were longer than a person's height turned out to be black thorns.
!
The black thorn was extremely cold in the hand, and it had a strong and strange aura. Xiao Yu had never seen it before. However, although the black thorn was very thick and long, the end was so sharp that it could stab someone with just a slight push.
wear.
But what is extremely incompatible with the appearance of this black thorn is that this black thorn is actually very light, holding it in your hand like a twig, without any burden.
Hu Tao'er had already picked up a lot of them, and walked towards Xiao Yu holding the pile of black thorns in her arms. She stared at the one in Xiao Yu's hand, showing disgust.
"The one in your hand is too soft and useless. Throw it away. These are enough."
After finishing speaking, Hu Tao'er hugged the pile of thick and long black thorns, found an open space, and neatly piled the black thorns together, forming a triangle when viewed from the side.
After finishing, she squatted down and put her hands on it. A weak demonic power flowed towards the pile of black thorns in her hands. And her spell seemed to have strange power. The pile of black thorns quickly dissolved and solidified under her spell, and actually synthesized.
Got one!
In the senses, the black thorn is extremely thick and the end is extremely sharp. Although there is not much light here, there is still a cold light flickering.
Xiao Yu unconsciously guessed, could this be the weapon used to kill the ninth-level demon?
