Chapter 623 Local Map
Foundation-building monks can fly with swords, and monsters of the fourth, fifth, and sixth levels are not bad either. Not to mention the flying monsters, the wind wolf and the gray-bearded rat can also use their strength to jump into the air and glide in the sky for a short time, so It is difficult to escape the pursuit of monsters by relying on this.
However, the Wind-Resisting Gourd has a high level and a fast flying speed, which is not without any advantages. When Qingyang drives the Wind-Resisting Gourd, there are only a few monsters that can catch up with him. After a quarter of an hour, the other monsters are far away. Left behind, only the fifth-level gray-whiskered rat was chasing after him.
At this time, you can see the difference between a specialized flying spiritual weapon and a flying sword. A flying spiritual weapon has a single function, is fast, and consumes less real energy, while controlling a flying sword is slow and consumes a lot of real energy over a long period of time. There are also a lot of them that simply don’t last.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. Qingyang was extremely relaxed sitting on the wind gourd, and it seemed that flying for another day or two would not be a problem. And the fifth-level gray-bearded rat has begun to lose its physical strength. This extreme speed consumes too much energy. All other companions in sight have disappeared. Even if it catches up with the monk in front of him, he may not be able to defeat the gray-bearded rat. The rat finally gave up.
Qingyang drove the wind-controlling gourd and flew forward for dozens of miles. After confirming that no monsters were chasing him, he breathed a sigh of relief and slowly lowered his speed and landed on the ground.
Based on Qingyang's current speed of controlling the wind gourd, he could fly almost two hundred miles in half an hour. At that time, he was just trying to escape for his life without choosing a path. Qingyang didn't know where he was, let alone where the monster's lair was, or even the monk's stronghold. There is only an approximate direction.
But the better thing is that he is finally out of danger, and his life is not in danger for the time being. With so many monsters chasing him at the same time, there should not be many monsters chasing the three farmers in the field. If the three of them are lucky enough, maybe There will be survivors.
Qingyang found a place to rest for a while, cleaned the blood on his body, and began to think about his next move. Normally, at this point, it would be okay to turn around and go back, but I didn't get any information, so it would be difficult to communicate after I returned.
Now that I am alone, it doesn't matter if I go back early or later. Although the monk's stronghold is safe, my freedom is restricted and it is inconvenient to do anything. Why not just wander around, maybe you will find other things, such as the spiritual grass that some monsters missed, etc. You are just alone, so be careful not to run into those golden elixir monsters head-on.
At this time, Qingyang suddenly remembered that when he was in Tujiao City, Boss Hu from the Jinli Gang gave him a jade slip as a thank you for saving his life, which seemed to contain some news about Yinfeng Gorge.
According to Qingyang's guess, the ancient monk that Boss Hu met should be one of the monks who invaded Yinfeng Gorge thousands of years ago. The contents in the jade slips should have been recorded by him. Although he escaped from Yinfeng Gorge in the end, he was He died accidentally in Tujiao Mountain and was later discovered by Boss Hu.
It's just that the jade slip is too old, and the contents inside are in dilapidated condition. Most of the things inside have been damaged. It can only be pieced together into a partial map of Yinfeng Gorge, and Qingyang's current location seems to be exactly the same as a certain place on the map. There are some similarities.
Thinking of this, Qingyang quickly took out the jade slip, rearranged the contents inside, and then walked around again, comparing the terrain features with obvious features one by one, and found that his judgment was correct. Yes, the map shows this place.
I didn't expect that what Boss Hu gave me was real. But thousands of years have passed and things have changed. The authenticity of this map must have been greatly reduced, right?
Looking at several key locations marked on the map, Qingyang couldn't help but become curious. What exactly were these places used for? There were no written notes on the map. Is it the lair of monsters? Or a treasure trove? Or is it a dangerous place in Yinfeng Gorge that needs attention?
Qingyang couldn't help but hesitate, should he go and take a look? This Yinfeng Gorge is extremely dangerous. Not to mention encountering a golden elixir stage monster, even a sixth-order monster is not something you can deal with. If you accidentally bump into the hands of a golden elixir stage monster, you may lose your life. Not guaranteed.
But it's rare for me to come here, and I happen to have a map of this place in my hand. Wouldn't it be a pity to miss it? What if there is some valuable treasure here? It's not like he doesn't have any means to save his life. If there is really any danger, death is not certain.
Now that the monks are deep into the Yinfeng Gorge, the monster beasts are making a noise. Most of the monster beasts should have been gathered by the senior officials of the Yinfeng Gorge. As long as they are careful, their whereabouts should not be easily leaked. If it really doesn't work, just hide from a distance and take a closer look. If there is a chance, you can decide whether to take the risk. What's more, I have my own mission to find out the news. If I don't do anything, it will be difficult for me to do business after I go back.
In the end, curiosity prevailed. Qingyang remembered the map deeply in his mind, destroyed the jade slip and headed towards a more conspicuous location on the map. To be conspicuous, it is actually the closest place to him. According to the scale of the map, it is only a few dozen miles away. It can be reached quickly and it shouldn't waste too much time.
Qingyang traveled quickly and arrived at the place shown on the map in just half an hour. There were no twists and turns along the way. Occasionally he encountered one or two monsters, both of which were low-level monsters that had not yet entered the rank. Qingyang solved it easily and it didn't waste much time at all.
According to the instructions on the map, Qingyang found a small hill. Behind two big trees on the side of the hill, he found a huge cave entrance. The location marked on the map is here. As for what is inside the cave entrance, whether it is dangerous or safe, he has no idea.
Qingyang did not dare to take risks, but hid outside and secretly observed. He waited quietly for three or four hours, and finally confirmed that there were two fifth-level spotted green snakes guarding the cave entrance. However, the monsters were not guarding very strictly. Every once in a while, they would come out and patrol around the hill. At this time, there was enough time to take the opportunity to sneak into the cave.
This seems to be a relatively important place for monsters, otherwise they would not specially send two fifth-level spotted green snakes to guard it. Maybe this is the monster's nest, or even a trap. If you rush in rashly, you may be surrounded by monsters if you are not careful, but you have come here, it seems a pity not to go in and see what's going on.
After thinking for a long time, Qingyang felt that he was still capable of escaping. The monster's defense was not very tight. He had finally ventured here, and he would be unwilling not to go in and take a look.
