Chapter 988 Halfway Through the Journey
Shui Bing's words made Zhong Ren hesitate for a moment.
At this time, Wei Qian suddenly interrupted, "Shui Bing, if you don't give a reasonable explanation, even if you go back home, I will not allow the 'real Ye Bing' you call to board the ship."
Shui Bing said, "You can rest assured that I have no ill intentions. The real situation is that the 'Shui Bing' who contacted you and others through the Bipolar Gate token in the past twenty years was not me, but someone else." Because of some reasons, it is not convenient for her to board the ship in Qianchang Wasteland, and I happen to want to take the Cangyu flying boat, so I will take her name and go with you until we get deep into the Corruption Mountains. Get her on board."
"Then what's your name?" Wei Qian asked.
Shui Bing said, "My real name is Xiao Yu, and I am Shui Bing's good friend."
"Xiao Xun?" Wei Qian looked thoughtful, and then he seemed to remember something, his eyes widened slightly, "Are you Xiao Xun, known as the 'Poisonous Queen'?"
Xiao Yu said, "Fellow Taoist Wei Qian is well-informed, and he actually knows about an unknown person like me."
Wei Qian said, "Your Excellency is not a nobody. Your name is well-known in Qingye City, and everyone knows it. More than a hundred years ago, you were in a small market not far outside Qingye City. , refining poison, poison refining failed As a result, a large amount of poisonous gas leaked out, and tens of thousands of low-level monks in the city died tragically, turning into a puddle of yellow water. After that, the city became a desperate place, and its land was polluted, and the remains are still there. Extremely toxic.”
Xiao Xun smiled slightly, as if he heard some kind of praise.
"It's just some old things about Meng Lang. Why do you need to mention it again, fellow Taoist?"
Wei Qian said, "Since you are not Shui Bing, then who is Shui Bing? The name 'Shui Bing' should be a pseudonym, right? What is her true identity?"
Xiao Yu said, "Fellow Taoist should ask her this question in person. She should be arriving soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Qian and Zhong Ren looked ahead with alert expressions.
They sensed that someone was speeding towards them in front of them.
Soon, a figure broke through the layers of mist and appeared ten feet away in front of the flying boat.
The visitor was dressed in white, with a bamboo hat on his head. A layer of light gauze hung from the edge of the bamboo hat, covering the visitor's face and blocking the prying eyes of everyone.
"Why do you need to hide your head and show your tail? If you don't identify yourself, we won't dare to let you board the ship easily." Wei Qian said.
On the Cangyu flying boat, the formation shield has already been activated. Although it is far inferior to the defense of the "Xuan Kun Ming Formation", it is not something that a monk in the transformation stage can break through at will.
Although Wei Qian and others could not clearly perceive the cultivation level of the incoming person, they could roughly judge from the opponent's speed and aura that the opponent was a monk in the transformation stage.
Hearing this, the visitor raised his hand and lifted the hat on his head.
In an instant, a peerless face was revealed.
"Are you Ye Bing?" Wei Qian said in an uncertain tone.
"Fellow Taoist, have you seen me?" Ye Bing asked in confusion. She did not remember meeting Wei Qian.
Wei Qian said, "I have never met fellow Taoist. However, I have seen the Ye family's reward for you."
Ye Bing said, "Since fellow Taoist Wei Qian knows that I am being rewarded by the three major families, I must also know that I have no place in Qianchang Wasteland, and I can only have a chance of survival by going to Qicang Territory. Therefore, I will never do anything to you." If you are at any disadvantage, I will do my best to work with you to fight against the dangers of the Corruption Mountains."
Wei Qian did not answer immediately, but turned to look at Zhongren and asked for his opinion.
Zhong Ren was silent for a moment, and finally took out the control array plate of the flying boat, opened a hole in the array shield, and allowed Ye Bing to board the ship.
Ye Bing got on the spaceship and bowed to Zhong Ren, Wei Qian, Song Wen and others one by one.
"Thank you all."
With that said, she turned over her hand and took out a thousand high-grade spiritual stones and handed them to Zhongren.
"Every fellow Taoist has paid for the ship, and I am no exception. Fellow Taoist Zhongren, please keep these thousand high-grade spiritual stones, and use them to activate the "Xuan Kun Ming Formation" and the flying boat to explode at high speed."
Seeing the pieces of spiritual stones floating in the air, Zhongren's face suddenly burst into a kind smile.
"Then I will be disrespectful."
After Jongin put away the spirit stone, the spaceship continued to move forward.
With the route map provided by the Bipolar Sect, and the four god-transformation stage monks on the flying boat with their consciousness fully activated, they were always vigilant in all directions, so the trip was quite smooth, and all dangerous places were avoided one by one.
As for some low-level monsters and swarms of poisonous insects, and even a few fifth-level monsters they encountered by chance, they were all easily dealt with by Ye Bing and the others without causing any interference to the trip.
However, as the miasma continues to penetrate deeper into the core of the Fu Mi Ridge, the miasma becomes denser and interferes with spiritual consciousness more and more intensely, causing everyone's perception range to shrink again and again.
Even Ye Bing, who has the highest level of cultivation, has a range of perception only a few hundred feet away.
The perception distance is so close, but we still have to keep going deeper and deeper. It can be said that there are many dangers. At any time, we may accidentally enter the territory of poisonous insects or encounter powerful monsters that are out to hunt.
Everyone had to be more cautious, and the speed of the flying boat also decreased again and again.
In addition, the extremely rich miasma has a significant corrosive effect on the spacecraft shield.
Mottled marks continue to appear on the surface of the shield, as if being gnawed silently by countless tiny invisible poisonous insects.
The eighty-one grooves on the edge of the deck are all placed with high-grade spiritual stones. The pure spiritual energy is continuously extracted and injected into the shield through the formation patterns, constantly repairing the traces of corrosion.
Zhong Ren waved his hand, and eighty-one high-quality spirit stones flew out, replacing the spirit stones in the grooves that had little spiritual energy left.
"We have been in the territory of Fuzang Ridge for half a month. According to the route provided by the Bipolar Gate, we have already walked a small part of the way. It only takes another half a month, and we should be able to pass through the most dangerous core area of Fuzang Ridge." Zhong Ren said.
No one responded to Zhong Ren's words.
It's too early to say this now.
"Chi——"
Suddenly, a long cry came from the sky in the distance.
"Not good! It's a flying monster, lower the altitude of the spacecraft quickly." Wei Qian shouted.
In fact, there was no need for Wei Qian to remind him. Zhong Ren had already pinched the magic formula with his hand and entered the control array of the flying boat in front of him.
In an instant, the head of the flying boat suddenly sank down.
The entire flying boat was like a hawk swooping down rapidly, and in the blink of an eye it rushed into the rolling mountains, shuttling along the winding mountain terrain.
At this moment.
The miasma in the sky suddenly surged violently, and a terrifying aura enveloped it.
Everyone looked up and saw a huge bird breaking through the miasma and swooping down on the flying boat.
The bird's wings were several miles wide, and every flap brought a gust of wind, stirring the miasma like boiling water.
"Oh no, it's a sixth-level purple pigeon!" Zhong Ren's eyes flashed with a trace of panic.
