Chapter 599: Yinfeng Gorge
For a long time, human monks and monster beasts have formed a delicate balance here. High-level monks do not go to Tujiao Mountain, and high-level monster beasts do not leave Yinfeng Gorge. Tujiao Mountain is a strategic buffer zone for both sides. High-level monsters live in the mountains, and low-level monks can also go into the mountains to experience.
It is precisely because of the buffering of the vast Tujiao Mountain that the high-level monsters in Yinfeng Gorge will not become extinct. Otherwise, how can it be possible to raise many high-level monsters in the small place of Yinfeng Gorge? How can the power of monsters be replenished?
However, the size of Yinfeng Gorge is only relative to the entire Tujiao Mountain or the Jiuzhou Continent. In fact, the entire Yinfeng Gorge has a radius of two to three thousand miles, which is also a very wide place.
The whole team was in chaos and could not move any faster at all. Many of the foundation-building monks who had just broken through were not very strong and would have to stop and rest after flying with their swords for a few hours. Therefore, everyone rushed during the day and rested at night. One day was only a thousand. miles of distance.
But no one is in a hurry, Yinfeng Gorge is there and there is no way to escape. This time the seven immortal sects are fully prepared and will definitely uproot the entire Yinfeng Gorge. It is better to be cautious.
The high-level monsters in Yinfeng Gorge may have really gotten the news and gathered all the monsters in Tujiao Mountain. Four or five days passed in a row. Occasionally, they encountered a few monsters that had not yet entered the level. After meeting so many monks, they were so frightened that they ran away. They hardly encountered any high-level monsters along the way. The unqualified monsters were of little value and no one was too lazy to take action.
Seeing that Yinfeng Gorge was not far away, the journey went smoothly without even a trace of twists and turns. But everyone knows very well that the more this happens, the more it means that the monsters in Yinfeng Gorge are well prepared, and there may be a fierce battle by then.
The depths of Tujiao Mountain are completely different from the outer areas. The mountains are steep and the roads are difficult to walk. Many places are difficult for ordinary people, let alone Qi Refining monks, to pass. That is to say, their group all have the cultivation level of Foundation Establishment or above. You can fly with your sword in the air, so you won't get stuck on the road.
On the sixth day, everyone climbed over a towering mountain and finally arrived at their destination, which was the Yinfeng Gorge deep in Tujiao Mountain. Surrounded by high mountains, there is a grand canyon in the middle. The terrain in front of you is as if a piece of the earth has suddenly sunk in. The radius is unknown for how many miles. Anyway, with Qingyang's ability, it is impossible to see the boundary.
The canyon is unfathomable, and there are layers of fog blocking it. Standing on a high mountain and looking down, everything in front of you is like a boundless sea of fog. I used a trace of spiritual thought to carefully explore it, but it was blown away soon, and I had no idea what was underneath.
Not only have the foundation-building monks never been to Yinfeng Gorge, but even the masters of the late Jindan period are not familiar with it. Even if the monks left information when they attacked Yinfeng Gorge, thousands of years have passed, and that information has long been out of date. Yes, it may not be useful.
Everyone stood at the entrance of the canyon for a long time. Finally, the leader of the Yin Yang Sect, Gin Xu Zhenren, said: "Now that we are here, there is no reason to look back. Even if it is a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, we have to break into it. I, the Yin Yang Sect, will take the lead in a while, and everyone will enter the Yin Feng together." Xia, we will discuss the specific actions after we go in and see the situation.”
After saying that, Ginsu Zhenren swayed and floated from the mountain towards the mist. The disciples of the Yin Yang Sect followed, and they all disappeared into the mist one by one. After all the disciples of the Yin Yang Sect had entered, the other sect leaders did not delay and took their disciples into the Yin Feng Gorge one by one.
The fog in the canyon seems to be naturally formed, and it does not have a particularly great impact on the monks' spiritual thoughts. It is just mixed with some dark wind, which not only disperses the spiritual thoughts, but also gives a faint tingling sensation on the body. The person's whole body seems to be numb.
Qingyang did not dare to neglect, and quickly held up the true energy shield, followed closely behind the other disciples, and quickly flew downwards. After flying down for hundreds of feet, the surrounding fog gradually became thinner. Even without the use of spiritual thoughts, he can clearly see the surrounding area for several miles.
However, the dark wind below became more and more powerful, blowing on Qingyang's body. The outer real essence shield seemed to be corroded by something, and began to gradually weaken and become thinner. Qingyang had to continue to drive the real essence in his body. , to prevent the true essence shield from being broken and losing protection.
Qingyang felt it carefully. The evil wind outside seemed to be the nemesis of the monks. If it was not protected by the infuriating shield, the skin would be red and swollen by the evil wind in a short time. No matter how long it took, it would gradually corrode and fester, even threatening to the safety of the monk's life.
But if a true energy shield is used, under the constant erosion of the dark wind, the true energy support shield needs to be continuously replenished, and the true energy in the body will continue to be consumed, and the extent is no less than a small-scale battle, that is, Only their foundation-building monks could barely support it. If they sent Qi-refining monks, they probably wouldn't have enough Qi in their bodies to consume these evil winds.
No wonder the Seven Immortal Sects only organized Foundation Establishment monks and Golden Core monks to come in. It would be useless if their cultivation level was too low. This sinister wind alone can take up half of my energy. If I encounter a monster, wouldn't I be at an inherent disadvantage? I remembered that I had bought a lot of defensive talismans before setting off this time, so I found a high-quality talisman and slapped it on my body. Only then did I feel that the consumption of real energy had slowed down a lot.
Like Qingyang, other foundation-building monks also used their own special skills to deal with the erosion of the evil wind. Some use talismans, some use special elixirs, and some use protective instruments. Of course, there are also some monks who are cash-strapped or poorly prepared, or who feel that their body-training techniques are effective, so they can only I resisted with my body.
As for those Jindan cultivators, this problem does not exist. They have deep true essence, and the little true essence consumed by resisting the Yinfeng is nothing to them.
Yinyang Sect came down first and had sent people to observe the surroundings. After seeing that the people from other sects had all come down, Yinyang Sect's head, Yinxu Zhenren, said to the other heads: "The situation is a bit bad. The monsters in the entire Tujiao Mountain have retreated. Now we have killed our way into Yinfeng Gorge, but the monsters are not looking for us to fight. What should we do next?"
Crimson Eye Zhenren of Duanling Pavilion said: "What else can we do? These monsters must know about our actions this time and have all gathered in their nests. We just need to kill them all the way."
Qiyun Zhenren seemed to disagree with his opinion and said: "Since the monsters know our actions, they must be fully prepared. Maybe they have set traps in their nests waiting for us to jump. If we force our way in, what if we fall into the trap and suffer heavy losses?"
