Chapter 472: Deep Into the Secret Realm
"You can go back!"
As Zi Ling said, she raised her immature hands, overlapping and drawing circles in the air, and performed a complicated formula.
Before the goat-headed giant beast could say anything, a huge purple vortex appeared behind it again, sucking the giant beast into it.
"Aren't you Zi Ling?"
Shi Mu looked at Zi Ling's small figure, and asked slowly.
"Hehe, Ziling is my younger sister, and I'm Zihe. Fellow Daoist Shi took care of my younger sister along the way. As for these people's Qingshan orders, how about you and me equally?" Hearing this, Ziling turned around leisurely, facing Shi Mu With a chuckle, the voice is still crisp, but the tone is obviously not like that of an eight or nine-year-old child.
"Since your Excellency is so polite, I will be disrespectful." Shi Mu was startled when he heard this, but he accepted it calmly without any excuses.
After a while, he lightly tapped the last green mountain token on his own green mountain token, and as circles of blue lights lit up, the demon core in the token was transferred into the stone animal token.
"Fellow Taoist Zihe, what are your plans for the next step?" Shi Mu asked Ziling after putting away the Qingshan order.
The other party obviously has one body and two souls, but it is not easy for him to ask about Zi Ling.
"I can see that Fellow Daoist Shi still retains a lot of strength in today's battle, but it is still not easy to become a disciple of Qinglan. After all, the number of geniuses participating in this trial is far beyond his imagination Yes. As for me, since I woke up earlier than scheduled, I naturally have some important things to deal with first, so you and I will part ways here." Zi Ling pondered for a while, and said.
After all, this woman ignored Shi Mu's reaction, waved one hand, and sacrificed the colorful flying satin, which turned into a colorful glow and flew towards the depths of the secret realm.
Shi Mu watched Zi Ling's smaller figure disappear in front of him, he couldn't help touching his nose, and gave a wry smile.
Although he had seen that Ziling was not simple, he hadn't expected that its true strength could be so powerful. Just based on the words of the celestial pet, it might be enough to run across most of the ten directions.
No matter what, I'd better leave this place first.
Thinking so, Shi Mu simply flew into the small valley in front of him, found a relatively secluded place, sat down cross-legged, and prepared to rest and recover for a while.
He held a mid-grade spirit stone in one hand, took out the Qingshan Token in the other hand, and closed his eyes to investigate.
Speaking of which, this was the first time he had investigated the Qingshan Order.
With the intrusion of spiritual consciousness, Qingshan made the surface light up in circles of circular light, which fluctuated slightly, and disappeared after a while.
Shi Mu opened his eyes, his complexion gradually became dignified.
According to the demon core he obtained, his total points are now 36,300 points, and among the more than 30,000 people who participated in the trial, he ranks 3021st, which is barely enough The top tenth place is just far away from being selected as one of the 108 winners.
In addition, in just a few days, more than 23,000 people have either fallen or given up, and all of them withdrew from this trial.
Although he had some understanding of the cruelty of this trial, he still couldn't help being surprised when he learned of the result.
It can be seen from this that if I don't hunt and kill more high-level monsters in the next twenty days, I am afraid it will be difficult to stand out from the remaining 10,000 people.
Thinking of this, he stood up, threw the gray spirit stone aside, and after debating the direction, he walked towards the inside of the secret realm.
...
After half a day.
Shi Mu was walking all the way to the distance, when suddenly, Cai Er's voice came from his ear:
"Stone, we are almost out of this lost grassland!"
Immediately afterwards, the golden light in front of Shi Mu's eyes quickly zoomed in, and he saw an emerald green "high wall" appearing at the end of a vast prairie, stretching for thousands of miles.
This is the picture that Cai'er sent back through visual sharing. Shi Mu estimated that it was about one or two hundred miles away from the forest.
Because that forest has been separated from the outer ten-square world area, and is closer to the center of the secret realm, and the monsters inside are more ferocious, so the number of people entering has been much smaller than that of the outer area, and most of them are people from big families or powerful forces. There is very little information about it.
At present, Shi Mu only knows that it is called "Manggu Forest".
According to Cai'er's instructions, Shi Mu determined the direction and hurried towards Manggu Forest.
However, when passing through a thicket of reeds more than two feet high, suddenly a figure sprang out of it silently, attacking Shi Mu with sharp claws.
But it is a strange monster that is about Zhang Xu tall, looks like a mouse, but can walk upright.
Its body is covered with solid brown scales, and its front claws are separated, like five daggers, very sharp.
"Tu Yuanshen!" Seeing this, Shi Mu exclaimed secretly, this is an earth-level monster, and it is the seventh one he has encountered in half a day.
While thinking about it, his footsteps stopped, his body fell down just right, and he rolled on the spot.
"Shua!"
Five cold lights flashed past, and a piece of reed grass behind him broke into several knots.
Shi Mu turned over and stood up. He had already held the Meteorite Black Saber in his hand. With a flip of his wrist, the black saber suddenly stabbed upwards, and a black light blade shot out.
"Zheng!"
There was a crisp sound of metal collisions, and the Tuyuan cat was sent flying backwards by a huge force, and Shi Mu also took the opportunity to distance himself from it.
"Aw..."
The Tu Yuanjin let out an angry roar, and there was already a white mark under his neck. Although he didn't suffer any real damage, it was obviously uncomfortable.
"Hula"!
I saw the khaki halo on his body light up, his eyes instantly turned blood red, and with the sound of "click", his figure grew several times.
And on its two front paws, diamond-shaped scales turned up layer by layer, standing up like barbs. From a distance, it looks like two thick mace-toothed giant clubs.
That Tu Yuanxuan waved his arms, and threw it at Shi Mu.
Shi Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, his aura suddenly surged, and the red ape figure emerged from behind him, and two fiery fists smashed towards the arms of Tu Yuanjin.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the arms of Tu Yuanjin seemed to have been hammered by Wanjun, the bones were broken inch by inch, all the flesh and blood exploded, and the scales attached to them flew out like flying knives.
Shi Mu put away the amulet, raised his saber, walked to the dying Tu Yuanxuan, and slashed down with his saber.
...
In the evening of the second day, the sky gradually darkened.
Shi Mu didn't intend to stop, and kept walking through the grassland.
At the end of the day, he buried his head on the road while beheading the monsters. The monsters he met along the way were not many, but their strength became stronger and stronger, so that his speed was much slower than he originally estimated.
"Shitou, there is an open space ten miles ahead from your current position. That place is a bit strange. Pay attention when you get there." At this moment, Cai'er's voice suddenly came.
"Oh, what's unusual?" Shi Mu asked.
"I can't tell. There is no grass growing there, and only some dirt bags can be seen. I didn't see any monsters, but there are many bones of monsters around. But after passing through this open space, there is Manggu behind. It's the forest." Cai'er replied.
"Okay, Cai'er, go to the forest and wait for me first, I'll be there later." Shi Mu said after a little thought.
After a while, Shi Mu came to the open space.
The scene in front of me was as Cai'er said, there was no grass growing on the ground, only eight or nine huge oval-shaped soil bags stood there, and more than a dozen bones of high-level monsters were scattered beside it, which looked like a cemetery.
Among the more than ten white bones around the earth bag, some were dry and broken, and some still had some bright red color on them. It looked like they had just died not long ago, but their flesh and blood had been eaten clean by some monster.
Shi Mu took a look, raised his eyebrows, and walked in with a black knife in his hand.
...
A moment later, there was a rumbling sound in the air above this area!
A scarlet fire cloud 20 to 30 feet in size emerged in midair, within the fire cloud there was the sound of rushing thunder, and the crimson light kept flickering.
The open space below was suddenly occupied by densely packed dark green ants, and there was only an open space several feet in the middle where dozens of ant corpses were piled up.
Shi Mu was standing in this open space, with red flames billowing all over his body, his eyes slowly sweeping around.
When he was about to pass through this open space just now, the surrounding soil suddenly surged, and then hundreds of green ants and monsters about the size of a foot rushed out densely, surrounding him tightly.
This kind of ant monster has thick and long limbs, two thick and long tentacles like soft whips, half hanging in front of the forehead, mouthparts like saws, and giant eyes like lamps, all of them are greedily staring at Shi Mu, ready to rush to kill He seemed to tear it apart, but he was a little afraid of the red flames billowing around Shi Mu's body.
"fall!"
Shi Mu sneered, and raised his hand suddenly. Behind his head, a round of silver crescent moon phantom glowed brilliantly, and a ray of silver light burst out and merged into the fire cloud in midair.
The crimson fire cloud immediately boiled violently like boiling, and the crimson light inside it kept flashing, and crimson fireballs the size of a millstone flew out of the red cloud, bombarding down like meteors falling crazily.
Rumble!
The sky was filled with fire and rain, covering the sky and flooding the area in an instant, and thunderous roars surged out, constantly spreading in the four fields.
Everywhere those fireballs fell, several green ants were crushed to pieces, and they sank together with the ground.
But in a short while, the area around Shi Mu turned into a deep pit, only the place where he was standing was not bombarded, standing like a lone peak in the center.
Shi Mu looked at the wreckage of hundreds of green ant beasts in the deep pit, especially the few ground-level corpses in the pit, couldn't help showing a smile, and jumped down on his toes. (To be continued.)
