Chapter 436: It’s Hard to Explore the Ruins, It’s Hard to Go to the Sky
It is difficult to explore the ruins, but it is difficult to climb to the sky!
For Fang Xing, the two months from Shengxian Terrace to the depths of Guixu were just a matter of drinking, sleeping, playing cards and scolding, but for Fengtian, Yushou, Moon Worshiping, and Alliance From the perspective of the Five Parts, it can be called a disaster, a painful memory that no one wants to recall afterwards, a journey that may lead to death at any time and make it difficult to reach the sky.
In two months, the most powerful team to explore the ruins in the history of Guixu was reduced to only about a hundred people. Almost half of them died in various dangers, but among these monks who lost their lives, Not only the weaker monks, but also four late-stage Golden Core monks and ten middle-stage Golden Core monks died, and many of them died in mysterious circumstances.
On the third day of the journey, a member of the Fengtian clan was dragged away by a vicious python in the forest when he was fetching water. His body was completely missing.
On the seventh day of the journey, a rift in the void appeared from the sky. Two members of the Baiyue clan who were flying in the air collided head-on and were torn apart by the rift. There was no room for death, even Granny Yao who was close at hand. There was no time to save him.
On the twenty-first day of the journey, the cultivators who were following a safe route encountered a group of ferocious beasts that were alarmed by the aura of the newly promoted seventh-level ferocious beasts and were running frantically for their lives. The two met head-on. Although the cultivators hurriedly evaded, they The road is narrow and dangerous, and the high altitude is full of turbulent voids. No one dares to fly up to the sky. They can only seize a limited safe position on the ground. How can they accommodate so many people?
For a moment, everyone was on their backs. When the group of ferocious beasts passed by, they reorganized their team and suddenly discovered that thirty-six people had been killed at one time.
On the thirtieth day of the journey, the cultivators flew over a dark narrow valley that was more than a hundred feet wide. They flew in batches. The first three people were fine, but when the fourth group was flying across, they somehow suddenly triggered There was some kind of restriction under the narrow valley, and in an instant, dozens of black lightning struck the sky. A group of monks flying from the sky were struck by lightning, and they turned into charred bones and fell.
Only this time, another twenty-seven monks were lost.
...
...
Dead people, non-stop dead people, the initial excitement of the cultivators has dissipated, leaving only fear.
There are too many dangers in Guixu. Usually, the cultivators hide outside Guixu, which is enough to survive cautiously in the forest full of ferocious beasts. But now, going inside Guixu is tantamount to challenging Guixu. Dangerous. Although their group had Magu to guide them, the path pointed by Magu had only one generally safe direction due to the passage of time. On this road, the path changed, spiritual veins wandered, and even vicious beasts Any migration may become a variable on the way to explore the ruins, bringing unexpected dangers.
There were casualties in all cases, but the journey had to continue, and so did the deaths.
This seems to be the price of entering the depths of Guixu.
The only one in a special situation is naturally the people on Fang Xing's side. Because he controls Magu, the red dragon where he is is firmly protected by the cultivators in the middle of the crowd, so it is difficult to encounter danger, or even if Even when he was in danger, several Jindan Mahayana cultivators did not dare to put him in danger. Even the nine Jindan servants around him took advantage of it, and no one was harmed.
Fortunately, there were only a few people around Fang Xing, so it wasn't too scary.
Just as they were about to enter the depths of Guixu, another problem was posed in front of the monks. A seemingly endless black marsh appeared on their planned path. This black marsh was in Magu's path. It didn't exist in the description, and this kind of swamp was the easiest place to breed demons. No one from any clan dared to move rashly, so they had to stop their trip and turn around to ask Magu.
At this time, Magu was sitting cross-legged on Chilong's back and looking in the mirror. One end of the fairy rope was tied to her ankle and the other to Fang Xing's arm. At this time, her new skin had grown and was delicate. She is fair and clear, can be broken by blows, and the facial features are in perfect proportion. She looks like a delicate beauty. Unfortunately, it is like a painting that has not been completed. From a faint look, there are always some flaws.
Hate Tianning received the report from an outsider, but instead of looking for Magu directly, he came to find Fang Xing who was sleeping on the faucet. After shaking for a few times, he woke up and told him the matter. He came to Magu in a daze, stretched out and said, "Those old guys said that there was a black marsh lake ahead that didn't exist on the route. What's going on?"
Magu was startled for a moment, then pulled a gauze scarf over her face and said, "Take me out and have a look!"
Fang Xing had no choice but to grab her arm and lift her up.
At this time, Magu had mostly recovered from her injuries, but she still had no power to bind a chicken, and was no different from a mortal.
But she was also tricked by Fang Xing. When she took the third Huaxian Pill, she found that her bones were weak and her meridians were weak. She once asked Fang Xing, and Fang Xing answered very simply: "Hua Xing" The Immortal Pill needs to shape the muscles and bones. Before it is completed, the bones have not been set and the meridians have not returned to their positions. Naturally, they will not be able to move their spiritual power and use their magical powers, so just stay well!"
Only then did Magu understand that the Hua Xian Pills that the brat had given her could help her look like a fairy, but at the same time it was also a poison that restrained her. Now, unless she stopped taking the Hua Xian Pills, she would Otherwise, you won’t be able to use your spiritual power.
In this regard, she accepted her fate and regarded it as the price she had to pay.
Fang Xing picked up Magu, flew out of the palace, and flew forward. The Red Dragon and the Nine Servants of the Golden Pill naturally followed behind him. Wherever he passed, all the cultivators made way for him, and soon he was When they reached the front of the team, they saw a huge black swamp in front of them, with almost no edges visible. Hundreds of feet above, there were black snakes swimming in the air, which looked particularly terrifying.
The black snake in the sky, appearing and disappearing from time to time, is the unique void crack in Guixu, but it is the most dangerous thing in Guixu. It is not only terrifying in power, but also looming. Sometimes the sky is originally clear. , this kind of crack will suddenly appear. Among the monks, at least six people have died under this kind of void crack, so that no one dares to soar into the sky now.
"Fairy Ma, according to what you said before, we should reach the Three Realms Mountain soon. By then, we will have truly entered the depths of Guixu and can look towards the Dao Palace. However, why did something strange suddenly appear on the road? Black Marsh Pond? According to your previous description, this place should be a plain. Could it be that we took the wrong path?"
Seeing Magu and Fang Xing rushing forward, the purple-spotted old cultivator cupped his hands and asked in a deep voice.
Magu didn't answer, but looked at the surrounding mountains, and asked someone to detect the direction of the surrounding spiritual veins. After some thought, she raised her head and said attentively: "Judging from the surrounding terrain and the direction of the spiritual veins, , our road is correct, in fact, it is not that strange to see such strange swamps. The terrain and mountains that I remember in my mind are from many years ago. It is natural that the terrain has changed over the past few decades. Guixu The celestial phenomena inside are weird. An earthquake or a waterfall may form such a black swamp. I don’t know if there is any danger in it. It’s better to test it. If there is no danger, just fly over it with clouds. Otherwise, We have to take a detour. As far as I know, if we take a detour, it will take at least ten days to get to Sanjie Mountain. You should think about it!"
Several old cultivators listened and were silent. After a long while, Granny Bai Yueshi Yao said in a deep voice: "I have spent two months waiting on the road. Including the first ten days, it has already taken seventy days." It’s almost 30 days, and seven red lights have risen in the sky. There are only twenty days left before the launch day in September. Although the ruins of the Taoist Palace are not far away, ten days cannot be spent..."
Several other people had the same idea as her, and nodded to each other, not intending to take a detour. After some discussion, they ordered people to capture the living low-level ferocious beasts, but they captured them on the road to explore the way. Yes, the purple-spotted old cultivator and Granny Yao each used their spiritual power to pick up a few of them, and cast them into the black swamp from a distance. They saw the ferocious beasts struggling to sink in, but no other dangers appeared.
Such tests were conducted three times. After three times, it was almost certain that there were no other dangerous dangers in the Black Swamp Pond. Several Jindan Mahayana cultivators used their magic eyes to pry around, but found no signs of demons and beasts living inside. In addition, the black swamp seemed to have been formed not long ago, and the possibility of a ferocious beast surviving was low, so they discussed it in a low voice and prepared to fly directly.
"Hey, why don't we take a detour?"
While several senior cultivators were testing it in various ways, Fang Xingyi squatted by the pool and looked in for a long time, then spoke in deep thought.
"Haha, did Master Xing discover something?"
The smiling old man Luo Musang, the leader of the Xiao clan alliance, glanced at Fang Xing and said with a smile.
Now they also know that Fang Xing has become the leader of the Hentian clan, and they have begun to change their names and call him the "Lord of the Xing clan", but there is no respect in their words. After all, the Hentian clan has declined and is about to be destroyed, and Fang Xing also relied on kidnapping Magu and the red dragon beside him to get into the core of this ruins expedition with an embarrassing identity, so naturally he didn't get much respect.
The deeper one goes into Gui Ruins, the less valuable Magu is in Fang Xing's hands, and the less fearful the cultivators have towards him.
Although there is no explanation, everyone knows that when Magu loses all the value of guiding the way before reaching the gate of the Four Evils, it is the time for the cultivators to show their claws to Fang Xing. The aura of the Suzaku is looming, although it is also It showed that it was deep in the ruins, but the cultivators really didn't have much thought to capture it. Instead, they all used the red dragon as a sacrifice.
"It's nothing, I just feel a little unsure about such a big black swamp..."
Fang Xing smiled and stood up without further explanation.
Mother-in-law Yao of the Baiyue clan laughed heartily and said: "Little devil, please relax, we have lived for nearly a thousand years, how can we not know how to act with caution? Naturally, we will take more precautions, and we will not let your life be lost here. I can't bear to let you go, mother-in-law, in the black swamp!" Her dim old eyes looked very kind and charitable when she said this, but it made people feel quite uncomfortable.
After hearing this, Fang Xing had no choice but to say helplessly: "That's fine, I have no objection!"
