"I asked you to be more flexible with your hands and feet. I'm almost dying of thirst."
In midsummer, the scorching sun hangs high in the sky. Even if it is blocked by thick leaves, the heat is still unbearable. Feng Yu and his party are sitting under the shade of a roadside tree to rest.
It has been half a month since Linglong agreed to help Qiu Shangxian search for the Tomb of All Saints. The weather is getting hotter day by day. We can walk to this point according to the road map given by the man in black that Qiu Shangxian took out.
, I haven’t seen the Tomb of All Saints. I encountered many powerful phantom beasts, and even the ninth-level phantom beast Winged Wind Snake appeared. Of course, these phantom beasts were killed in less than two rounds under Linglong’s hands. The phantom beasts were killed.
The beast carcass is naturally cheaper for Feng Yu.
Qingluan has become much calmer since he was chased back by Qiu Shangxian. After seeing that the phantom beasts that were difficult to kill with the combined strength of their mercenary group were like fragile clay figures under the hands of Linglong and Fengyu, they could be broken into pieces with just a pinch.
Qingluan did not dare to resist again. No, Linglong ordered Qingluan to go to the mountain stream to fetch water again.
"Miss, your water."
Qingluan's face was ugly, but she didn't dare to get angry at Linglong. Just like a child who doesn't want to fight with an adult, no matter how rough your arm is, it can twist someone's thigh. People need to be self-aware.
It has to be said that Qingluan's endurance is increasing day by day under Linglong's pressure, which can be regarded as a benefit brought to her by Linglong. After all, in this world, if you don't have the strength, you have to keep your tail between your legs, otherwise you won't even have the chance to be a human being.
All will be lost.
"Good boy, go aside and rest." Linglong took the kettle, took a sip herself, and handed it to Feng Yu, completely ignoring Qingluan's stinging gaze.
"Yes, thank you very much, miss." Qingluan cursed Linglong countless times in his heart, but if the curse was effective, why would everyone be cultivating immortals? So Linglong is still alive and well, and Qingluan still has to endure Linglong's bullying.
"Qiu Shangxian, have you taken us around enough? We have been traveling around these hundreds of miles of land in the past half month. If you still don't want to say anything, then our cooperation will end here.
"
Linglong doesn't feel bored when she's with Feng Yu. She used to be in seclusion for several months, but now she can flirt with her beloved while traveling around. If she's really bored, she can even bully her.
Qiu Qingluan, a wild girl, lived a happy life.
But in the past half month, Qiu Shangxian still refused to tell the truth and always led them in circles. Linglong's patience also had a bottom line, and today she finally couldn't help but explode.
"Miss Linglong, I don't understand what you mean. How could I dare to deceive you?" Qiu Shangxian pretended to be surprised, making uninformed people think that he had been wronged.
Linglong was too lazy to talk nonsense to him. She opened her right hand and the vortex of vitality in her palm drew Qiu Shangxian to her. Linglong pinched his neck.
"To say or not to say." Being treated as a fool by others is the most unbearable thing for a smart person like Linglong.
Linglong's tone was so cold. Qiu Shangxian could hear the murderous intention in Linglong's words. He had no doubt that this beautiful girl who had just been chatting and laughing with him could understand the relationship between him and Qingluan without hesitation.
life.
"I said, I said."
Linglong's strength was well controlled, not only allowing Qiu Shangxian to speak, but also controlling his breathing, causing him to slowly fall into a state of suffocation. This was a hundred times more painful than killing Qiu Shangxian all at once.
"Tell me, I have been waiting for you for half a month, and my patience is running out. I hope you can explain to me in the fastest, shortest and most complete way what you are hiding. If I find out that there is even a little bit of lies,
You should be able to imagine how serious the consequences will be." Linglong was worried that Qiu Shangxian was still taking chances, so she reminded him in advance.
"Yes, in fact, the map routes are all real. It's just that the group of men in black said that there were guards of phantom beasts deployed around the Tomb of All Saints. Of course, these guards didn't know what they were guarding was huge.
A treasure. The reason why we have to go around is to paralyze the scouts among the phantom beasts and make them think that we just accidentally approached the Tomb of the Saints."
"Is it that simple?" Linglong didn't believe that only one person was willing.
"And they asked us to make a detailed map of the Phantom Beast divisions for them." Qiu Shangxian quickly added, he was afraid that Linglong would think that he had something to hide.
"No wonder, I saw you secretly recording something, so that's what it is."
At this moment, Fengyu and Linglong began to communicate through spiritual communication.
"Linglong, why do you think those people want the fantasy beast division map? And I have never figured it out. The strength of those people is far greater than that of the Qiu family brothers and sisters. Why don't they do it themselves? That would be fast and accurate."
"Little fool, you still think too much about the problem. The reason why fantasy beasts rarely attack humans who enter the fantasy beast forest is because the six sects of cultivating immortals have an alliance with the king of fantasy beasts, so they have been fighting for thousands of years.
No major bloodshed occurred. But didn’t we guess that the group of men in black were members of the Demonic Sect of the Lost City of Satan? The phantom beasts are very sensitive to human scent. Once the phantom beasts accidentally discover that they are not monks from the Monro Continent,
, naturally not protected by the covenant, they are likely to be besieged by fantasy beasts. Even if they have high cultivation and can escape, their whereabouts will inevitably be leaked, and the plan to find the Tomb of the Saints will definitely fail. And I have a feeling
I have a hunch that the Demon Sect’s conspiracy must be related to the Phantom Beast Forest.”
"Then what should we do? Stop them. Unfortunately, our strength is too far behind our opponent. Otherwise, we could give it a try."
"We don't have to do anything. With our current strength, intervening in matters at that level is simply seeking death. Waiting and waiting is sometimes the best way. Maybe then we can still make some fooling around and get some benefits.
Even if it doesn't work, seeing battles between peerless masters will be helpful for us to understand the way of heaven."
Feng Yu acquiesced to Ling Long's proposal.
"Okay, seeing as you haven't deceived me again, I won't argue with you this time. I've gone around enough. Now we can go straight to the topic."
"Of course, of course." Seeing that Linglong no longer pursued the matter, Qiu Shangxian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Little people sometimes live such a miserable life, but they don't want to die, so they can only survive in the narrow cracks of the big people.
Three days later, Feng Yu and the others came to a place called No Man's Ridge. This ridge was thousands of feet high and full of cliffs. Vultures were circling around. There was not even a trace of life on this mountain.
It's creepy.
"This is the 'No Man's Ridge'. There is no life in the No Man's Ridge. Living people stop and dead ghosts pass by."
"Linglong, along the way, the monks are basically invisible. Are we already close to the interior of the Phantom Beast Forest?"
"Yes, the dividing line between the inside and outside of the fantasy beast is called the 'Three Ridges', which are No Man Ridge, Duan Tian Ridge, and Dead Spirit Ridge. The one in the direction of our Tianfeng Dynasty is No Man Ridge. Generally speaking, we know that
Cultivators below Tian Ying Ming will die if they cross the No Man's Ridge. The inside and outside of the Phantom Beast Forest are two completely different worlds. It is said that the vitality inside is several times richer than the outside world, and it becomes even richer the deeper you go.
Yes, the number of high-level fantasy beasts has also increased exponentially. The ninth-level fantasy beasts that are hard to see outside are numerous inside. Even with our strength, if we are not careful, we will suffer big losses." Linglong said along the way.
Her relaxed expression completely froze the moment she saw No Man's Ridge. Mo Xin warned her many times that she must not step into the interior of the Fantasy Beast Forest until she advanced to Heaven.
"We have come this far. There is no reason to give up without going in and giving it a try. Be careful." Feng Yu said this for the Qiu family brothers and sisters to hear, and to encourage herself.
"Feng Yu is right. After entering, you must not leave within three feet of us, otherwise we cannot guarantee your safety."
Qiu Shangxian nodded. He knew that Feng Yu and Linglong had done all their benevolence and justice. The rest was up to God. Even the usually crazy Qingluan became silent. The interior of the Fantasy Beast Forest was originally a place for these low-level monks.
An insurmountable chasm.
Now that they had decided, the four of them started climbing the uninhabited ridge. Fengyu and Linglong protected Shangxian and Qingluan in the middle. From this moment on, their heads were tied to their belts, and they couldn't help but be careful.
At sunset, the four of them climbed halfway up the mountain. Shangxian and Qingluan began to breathe quickly. Fengyu had to decide to find a flat place to rest for the night. The thousand-foot peak was extremely steep, and the Qiu family brothers and sisters
As two burdens, Fengyu and Linglong were as fast as a tortoise.
It's not that Feng Yu has never thought about flying over. Linglong is a master of vitality liquid and can naturally fly. After Feng Yu was reborn, his body became very light. Although he couldn't fly in the sky all the time, he could still do it with a step of 100 meters. If
Grab Shangxian and Qingluan, and you'll be able to cross the No Man's Ridge in no time.
However, this suggestion was rejected by Linglong. When arriving in No Man's Ridge, dangers will appear anytime and anywhere. Although flying that consumes a lot of vitality can shorten the time, the risk is too great. It is not in a hurry anyway, and it is not worth the gain.
Feng Yu also felt that it made sense after hearing this. Anyway, even if he was eating and sleeping now, the vitality in his body was moving by itself. How could the Ant Emperor's inner elixir only have that little effect? The inner elixir melted by the yellow airflow was scattered in Feng Yu's body.
There are various meridians in his body, and Feng Yu wants to completely refine them, which cannot be accomplished overnight, not to mention that there is a terrifying reserve of fire attribute vitality liquid in his Dantian Qi sea. Now Feng Yu is a mobile treasure house of elixirs.
When Qiu Shangxian was preparing to light a fire to cook, a sharp shouting sound reached the ears of the four people.
"He Fang Xiaoxiao dares to break into the inner forest of my fantasy beast forest. Are you going to risk your life or have you forgotten the covenant we made back then?"
A phantom beast with a human face and a bird's body was floating in mid-air, with a spear of unknown material in its hand pointing directly at Feng Yu and the four of them.
