Chapter 28 Entering the Scarlet Forbidden Land for the First Time
(Thanks for the reward of 1500 points for "Bones Under the Pile of Books"! Thanks to my brother for the support of the three monthly tickets! Thanks to the support of the other two brothers' monthly tickets! It’s so cold, my hands are cold, but my heart is warm!)
Flying in the forbidden area is not only dangerous.
On the one hand, flying in the air can easily become a living target in the eyes of others, attracting the focus of fire from other monks who entered the forbidden area. On the other hand, it may also cause the siege of those birds and beasts in the forbidden area, and this possibility is very high.
In addition, there are space cracks left by the wind attribute restriction in the sky of the forbidden area.
Not to mention that the Qi refining stage is untouchable, the alchemy stage and even the Nascent Soul stage are also untouchable.
Furthermore, the flight of the imperial weapon will consume mana; although it is not much, it is also quite a lot.
During the Qi refining period, mana is quite limited.
If the flyer's cultivation is only at the eleventh or second level of Qi refining, and the flight of the imperial weapon consumes some mana, then the remaining mana may only support him to start a fight between the same level. However, it is difficult to have spare energy to deal with other changes.
To sum up the above points, flying in the forbidden area has become one of the taboos.
But that's flying in the air.
Flying in the air is in mid-air, and it is the act of exposing oneself.
But Wang Li is flying close to the ground here.
Flying close to the ground is close to the ground, more like sprinting on the ground, it is an act of hiding oneself.
In order to be proficient in such a technique, Wang Li was scratched by the grass and trees many times, and knocked over by the rocks that suddenly blocked the road in front of him! But he always believed that his hard work would pay off.
As for mana consumption, it can only be said that there are middle-grade spirit stones in the back pocket, which can afford it.
Consumption and recovery are almost equal.
Flying with a sword while holding a spirit stone to restore mana is also a compulsory course.
He is not the kind of fool who only knows how to practice penance with his head covered.
In addition, he deliberately removed Huang Fenggu's clothing and changed into a variety of camouflage uniforms specially prepared to suit different environments, making it difficult for the naked eye to catch his figure.
This belongs to previous life experience.
The so-called camouflage uniform is a clothing with irregular protective color patterns composed of green, yellow, tea, black and other colors for camouflage. Its reflected light waves are roughly the same as the light waves reflected by the surrounding scenery, which can greatly confuse the naked eye reconnaissance of other immortal cultivators and monsters, making it difficult for the opponents to catch the target.
Wang Li prepared three items here.
There are four colors of "green, brown, black, and gray", which are mostly used for jungle camouflage in summer; there are also desert camouflages with yellowish colors, which are mostly used for winter training and desert combat; there are also green, brown, and black spots. Plateau desert camouflage.
Plus his own breath suppression and invisibility skills, as well as the intentionally controlled sound of Yujian flying.
Regardless of the spiritual consciousness of the cultivator or the naked eye, among the same level, except for the guys in the Spirit Beast Mountain who can rely on spirit beasts, it is difficult for the disciples of the other six sects to detect his existence from a distance of thirty feet away. .
For example, the current sand dune area:
If he chooses to run on the ground, not to mention exhausting his physical strength, but because of the movement of running, it is easy to cause some unnecessary troubles.
But if the third pet is released, the sharp-eyed skylark will stare at the sky, and the timid mouse in his arms will sense the sand and soil, and then fly quickly close to the ground. It can not only ensure sufficient physical strength and maintain the speed of travel, but also buy time and keep oneself safe.
Of course, it doesn't mean that any place is suitable for flying close to the ground.
Such as complex and varied lush woodland.
The forest is not suitable for flying close to the ground, but more suitable for dexterous climbing with hands and feet.
So, the skylark flew slowly in front, the chameleon was scouting from the side, and the cowardly mouse sat in the center to sense the danger, and at the same time, he honestly spread his mind to travel through the forest.
In this way, the place that should be fast will be fast, and the place that should be stable will be stable.
And even if he encounters some spiritual herbs that look good in quality and are not too old, as long as they can be found by the outside world, they are not rare for him, so he has no intention of stopping to pick them.
When encountering mid- and low-level monsters, he would ignore those who did not take the initiative to attack him.
Those who are hostile to him will bless Suzaku ring with fire and throw them at him, killing him first; anyway, not much mana will be wasted, and the wasted mana will be recovered immediately by taking pills and middle-grade spirit stones.
What if you run into a high-level monster?
Well, good luck: Although there are first-level or even top-level monsters in the outer area, they are very few, and they usually guard the place where the elixir is produced. As for these places, Wang Li usually takes the initiative to avoid them.
Therefore, so far, he has not encountered any monsters of the upper and top ranks.
Of course, considering the many dangers in the forbidden area, in order to maintain the best condition at all times and deal with unexpected battles, he always has a pill wrapped in specially treated paper in his mouth! At any time, you can bite through the paper and squeeze out the elixir to swallow and absorb.
He also specially practiced this little skill!
In this way, a few hours passed quickly.
Just when he was about to arrive at the landmark location of "Five Finger Lakes", his previous good luck seemed to be exhausted, and he finally bumped into the first group of immortal cultivators who killed people and seized treasures.
In the open space ahead, four figures were divided into two parties, entangled with each other endlessly.
Judging by the clothes, the two parties belonged to Qingxumen and Huadaowu respectively.
Right now, the cultivation of the two Taoist priests of Qingxu Sect is obviously worse. One has just entered the twelfth level of Qi Refining, and the other has only been on the twelfth level of Qi Refining for a few years, and his magic power is relatively weak. As for the two big men in Huadaowu, the one who is blind in one eye has the twelfth level of Qi Refining; the other is tall and strong and has vaguely reached the level of the thirteenth level, and his mana is much stronger than the previous two Taoist priests. .
If the two people from the Qingxu Sect hadn't been restrained by higher-quality magical artifacts and protected by mid-level and high-level talismans, they would have already done it for the two of Huadaowu.
"No, that Taoist priest has a problem!"
Through the light curtain formed by several layers of talismans, I haven't felt the abnormal fluctuation of mana before; but I was reminded by the cowardly mouse in my arms, and then I saw the older Taoist priest sitting cross-legged on the ground, clasped hands There are strands of golden light radiating from between the fingers.
Pass by, not to be missed.
He took a fancy to the object exuding golden brilliance.
In addition, in order to help Old Ancestor Chen win the gambling fight, he should try to keep the two of Qingxu Sect as much as possible out of love and propriety.
Time back to a quarter of an hour ago.
"Two fellow Taoists of Qingxu Sect, I think you should give up. My senior brother and I are bound to get these two fire dragon plants. If you two continue to stalk like this, then don't blame my senior brother and I Seriously."
While the one-eyed man in Huadaowu was speaking, he remotely controlled a short shuttle with a bright blue light, and attacked a mighty long sword held by the opposite side; After getting a layer of deep brilliance, he turned to prop up a shield of spiritual light, as if he was going to kill him.
The appearance of the long sword is the most extraordinary, and it belongs to the ranks of top-level magic weapons;
Both the short shuttle and the broad knife are slightly inferior, but they should also have the power of a high-level magic weapon.
"Give up? You have a good idea. The three-eyed fire wolf guarding the spirit grass was killed by my brothers with great difficulty. The two dragon grasses should belong to my two brothers; you two are fine, you didn't do anything. , I’m going to take our spoils as soon as I come here, just go dreaming.”
After spending a lot of energy, we just worked together to kill this first-level upper-rank monster beast three-eyed fire wolf on the ground. The Taoist priests of the Qingxu Sect must not be willing to work in vain.
"Third brother, that's enough."
The older Taoist scolded in a low voice, in fact, he wanted to hide the unfavorable information that he had consumed a lot: "You two, those who see it have a share. How about the two dragon grasses, one for each of us?"
While speaking, he slowly restrained the offensive of the three-point magic weapon long sword, full of sincerity.
"Two spirit grasses, one on each side?"
It is impossible to say that the two of Huadaowu are not tempted.
It was like picking up a spiritual herb for nothing, and they didn't have to fight with the other side.
However, the young Taoist didn't understand the elder brother's difficulties at all: "Brother, the loss of our mana just now is nothing at all; and you have the talisman given by your father in your hand, which made us anxious, so give it to these two people." Just kill them all! Why do you want to give up the spiritual grass you got?"
'idiot! '
The older Taoist cursed secretly.
Not only did he expose his status information, but he also revealed his hole cards. Why did the family arrange for such an oil bottle to come in?
It's not because of timidity that he backed down so much, it was clearly to preserve his strength, and he was ready to deal with the old Yin coin who was probably groping in the corner and trying to be the oriole.
Why have trials in the forbidden area been extremely bloody?
Competing for spirit herbs is just one of them, killing people to seize treasures is the second, and there is another category called hunting for pleasure! Especially the third kind of ruthless character who only enjoys hunting other monks for fun, and likes to do the business of the squirrel most. And almost every faction has one or two.
Although they try their best to control the movement, this place is not too far from the southwest entrance of the central area, at most ten miles, and it is quite normal for powerful people to perceive mana fluctuations. In this case, God knows how many orioles are squatting around. Once the two of us fight to the death with the two on the opposite side, even if we sacrifice the talisman to win, we will definitely not be able to win.
There is no need to put yourself in a dangerous situation because of a peripheral spiritual grass.
Then go to the central area to get a few more plants.
"Hmph, are you trying to trick my seniors into picking something and then attacking it suddenly? It's a good plan, but we're not stupid."
The tall, strong and well-cultivated man of Huadaowu grinned.
"Is that so?"
Oops, I seem to have ruined my brother's plan?
The younger Taoist priests were secretly annoyed.
"Brother, do they have talisman treasures? Did I hear correctly?"
"You heard me right, so let's not let these two go."
"But that's a talisman, I'm afraid the two of us won't be able to stop it."
"Don't worry, it takes time to activate, just kill them before they are activated. Moreover, a lot of mana is needed to activate the talisman, and he can't move himself. He will be a living target by then."
The above is the secret technique of sound transmission of the two people in Huadaowu, which is not known to outsiders.
But the older Taoist priest is not stupid. Through the subtle changes in the eyes of the two, he already guessed the two's thoughts, so he wanted to vomit blood depressedly. The gaze towards his third younger brother gradually lost the slightest emotion.
After that, the war started.
In the beginning, the two sides fought evenly, especially the Taoist priests of the Qingxu Sect. Relying on the sharpness of the top-level magic weapon long sword, one weapon dragged three upper-level magic weapons on the opposite side, and they did not lose the wind at all.
But with the passage of time, the situation began to become more delicate.
The battle gradually fell into a stalemate of a war of attrition.
When Wang Li arrived, it was at the moment when the elder Taoist of the Qingxu sect was trying to break the deadlock.
This one was also decisive, not hesitating the consumption of mana, and found an opportunity to use the other two high-level magic weapons to force the two people on the opposite side to use their respective defensive methods. At this moment, a low-level and high-level dungeon talisman suddenly fell, trapping the Huadaowu two who were trying their best to defend:
"Your defense is not enough, I'll give you two more points!"
After that, he signaled his third younger brother to throw out three middle-level Vajra Talismans, protecting the two of them tightly with multiple layers of defense.
This is to guard against the dark hunter.
By the way, let the younger brother inside the three-layer vajra cover continue to control the two high-level magic weapons, try to restrain the magic weapons of the two trapped people on the opposite side as much as possible, while he sat cross-legged on the ground, urging the talisman bestowed by the family.
After this talisman was infused with enormous mana from a Taoist priest, what it reflected was a golden mace of mana, a rare model of a magic weapon, but its power moved even Wang Li.
not good!
The two of Huadaowu's hairs stood on end.
"Fellow Daoist, if we have something to say, let's talk about it. Peace is the most important thing in everything. I don't think you are willing to be taken advantage of by others, right?"
Meaningful.
But the old Taoist seemed to be unmoved at all, as if he had eaten a weight. After a fierce look flashed from the corner of his eyes, he directly urged the golden mace talisman to strike at the two of them.
"die!"
I have to say that the ingenious use of high-level defensive talismans combined with powerful talisman treasures is really shameless.
Trapped in the cage formed by the defensive talisman, unable to get out, and unable to break through this bastard shell, the two unlucky Huadaowu could only watch the Taoist priest make moves, and even insisted on the power of the talisman.
If it is hit by a talisman, ten lives are not enough.
The moment the Dungeon Talisman was taken away, the golden mace fell directly on the heads of the two people in Huadaowu.
"It's about this time."
There are many people who respond to Wang Li's call.
No, in the grass with a span of thirty feet from the battlefield, a strong fluctuation of mana erupted instantly, and the three radiances struck the three-layer vajra shield with great momentum, intending to break through the shield and kill people. In the forest next to the battlefield, there was also a cold light shooting towards the two Taoist priests, the purpose was self-evident.
Those who launched a sneak attack all killed the two people in Huadaowu with the golden mace talisman, and then they dealt with the old Taoist priest holding the talisman, killing two birds with one stone.
As for the three-layer vajra cover of the elementary and intermediate levels, they are confident that they can break through it in one fell swoop.
Wang Li was very patient and didn't make a move.
He is not in a hurry, the oriole is not so easy to be. Instead of taking the lead now, it is better to wait for some orioles to reveal their cards first; when these orioles are in a stalemate, it will not be too late for him to make a move.
What's more, he vaguely felt that it was not that simple for the Taoist priest of the Qingxu sect to use the talisman, because before entering the blood forbidden trial, he had written down this person in the small book.
Among the seven sects, this person is one of the eight young men who do not hide the heartbeat of Aunt Yuezong Nishang.
Wang Li's intuition told him that this guy still has a back hand.
Sure enough, the next moment, the two who made the move regretted their recklessness, and also regretted their carelessness.
Because outside the three-layer mid-level diamond cover, a layer of earth-attributed dungeon light curtain was abruptly added.
It turned out that after the old Taoist took back the dungeon talisman that trapped the two of them in Huadaowu, he used this high-level talisman, which was expensive but still had most of its power left, to trap the two of them in the dungeon .
In other words, the tortoise shell is no longer a three-layer diamond cover, but a dungeon light curtain + three layers of diamond light curtains of different sizes.
At the same time, the younger Taoist also used his two high-level magic weapons in time to stop another sneak attack.
"You guys are trying to be fishermen?"
With his right hand touching the storage bag at his waist, and between the five fingers of his left hand, there is a radiant dungeon talisman and an unused talisman, and the elderly Taoist priest who controls the golden mace talisman with most of his mind, glances coldly at the grass with jungle direction.
After reaping the lives of the two people in Huadaowu, the direction of the golden mace changed, and it went straight to the person in the forest who urged the top-level magic weapon to attack him.
"Fellow Daoist, stop, I'm also confused for a moment."
Realize that something is wrong and quickly admit your mistake, that's right.
"snort."
But the Taoist is already red-eyed.
Furthermore, instead of taking advantage of the power of the talisman to kill the potential enemies who covet the treasure in his hands as much as possible, do you have to wait for the talisman to fall silent before being fished by the opponent?
Earlier, he had used up a lot of mana when he collided with the magic weapons of Huadaowu two people; afterward, he had consumed a huge amount of mana in order to activate the talisman.
Keeping these two, without the deterrence of the talisman treasures, he will definitely have no good fruit to eat with less than four layers of mana in his body.
For the Qi refining period, Fu Bao's load is still a bit heavy. Otherwise, how can we say that the foundation building stage can perfectly display the power of talisman treasures, and the Qi refining stage can only display one out of ten?
"hum"
The Taoist priests did not give them a retreat, and the sneak attackers could only find ways to parry or escape.
But no matter how fast he ran, how could he outrun Fu Bao.
So brazenly sacrificed two high-level magic weapons.
One is a small shield, and the other is a silver ring.
However, the gap was too big, the silver ring was put on the golden mace, and within two breaths, it exploded into debris. The little shield bloomed in the wind, blocked the golden mace for a moment, but was turned into a mace of the little sun and smashed to pieces.
However, this person was dexterous, and with the help of trees and rocks, he avoided more than a dozen rounds of the golden mace, which shocked and anxious the elders of the Qingxu sect.
This is what he did not expect.
In general, only poor people will intensify their efforts to practice lightness kung fu and agility.
This is also the tragedy of the poor.
Without spirit stones and background, the only way to achieve the purpose of improving strength and life-saving ability is through this method. But this person was able to take out a top-level magic weapon, obviously not poor.
"Third brother."
"Understood, brother."
Suddenly, the monk who was fleeing to the distance and was about to get out of the range of the golden mace, the ground under his feet suddenly collapsed into a pit. This sudden change made it impossible for him to react in time, and he stepped on the ground immediately. Spraining his ankle was not fatal, the problem was that the delay made the golden mace fall right on his body.
"Oh why, why me?"
Before dying, this person roared unwillingly.
"Because you are fatter than the one who ran away!"
Wang Li, who stared at a small top-grade silver sword that had lost its mana supply and fell to the ground, nestled in the bushes six or seven feet away, answered with help from the bottom of his heart.
At this moment, the elder Taoist yelled again:
"How long are you going to hide? Don't you have to be caught by Lin and his brother?"
