Chapter 455: The Desolate Northern Territory
After Yao Qing sensed the giant python's location, she immediately rushed forward.
"Uh-huh!"
The long sword drew dazzling trajectories in the air.
The giant python seemed to feel Yao Qing's magical power, and its huge body twisted flexibly in the water, avoiding Yao Qing's attack.
The two sides started a fierce battle in the river valley...
But this was in a river valley, and Yao Qing couldn't use her power at all.
But the giant python is different, this is simply his paradise.
Therefore, even if Yao Qing's swordsmanship is extremely sharp and other fluctuating cultivators help, he will not be able to defeat the giant python in a short time.
In this way, the two sides fought inextricably.
After dozens of rounds, the battle turned into a tie.
The giant python seemed to be aware of Yao Qing's difficulty. Suddenly it turned around and its huge body disappeared into the dark river and disappeared without a trace.
Yao Qing stood on the bank of the river, knowing that the giant python had not left.
It's just waiting for an opportunity to strike again.
Yao Qing looked around and saw overturned sheepskin rafts floating on the river, but the mountain people had disappeared.
She was helpless. If it continued like this, everyone would be dragged to death.
Even he and other Fluctuating Light cultivators might not be able to see the light of day again.
Therefore, we must find a way to lure out the giant python.
Gu Sheng came to Yao Qing's side and whispered: "Yao Qing, we can't wait passively like this. I have an idea, maybe we can lure out the giant python."
Yao Qing turned to look at Gu Sheng and asked with hope in her eyes: "What can we do?"
Gu Sheng continued: "Set up a barrier and have one person lead the mountain people away quickly. If the giant python appears, resist it immediately. After everyone leaves, the remaining people will retreat."
"this……"
Yao Qing knew that the only people left behind were cultivators from the Holy Land of Light.
In this case, it is very likely that you will die here.
"Whoosh!"
There was a sound of water, and several mountain people were pulled back into the underground river, and there was no movement.
Yao Qing was helpless. If he didn't make a decision, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Okay, Gu Sheng, Xiaolong, Gu Sheng, you two will lead the team. The exit of the underground river is twenty miles ahead. The other Yaoguang disciples stay with me!"
Yao Qing ordered.
"I?"
Suddenly, a young cultivator flashed out.
Gu Sheng saw that he was about the same age as him, but his cultivation was still in the early stage of Shenqiao realm.
If he stays like this, it will only add to the burden.
"Well, that's an order!"
Yao Qing nodded.
"All right."
Xiaolong responded, and together with Gu Sheng, he led hundreds of mountain people to prepare for action.
Yao Qing and other cultivators from the Shaking Light Holy Land on the side simultaneously mobilized their divine power and set up a barrier in the dark river.
"Let's go quickly!"
Yao Qing ordered.
Immediately afterwards, Xiaolong and Gu Sheng drove ahead with the remaining hundreds of mountain residents.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, the barrier that had just been set up was violently impacted.
The water of the underground river violently slapped the shore due to its powerful rolling force.
“Let’s work together!”
Yao Qing shouted.
In this way, the remaining dozen cultivators from the Shaking Light Holy Land worked together to withstand the pressure of the barrier, allowing Gu Sheng and Xiaolong to lead the remaining mountain people forward.
I don't know how long it took, but Gu Sheng suddenly saw a light in his eyes.
"Look! The exit is ahead!"
Gu Shengda shouted.
At the same time, other mountain people also cheered.
In this way, Gu Sheng and Xiaolong led everyone to leave the Dark River and successfully arrived in the Northern Territory.
But after arriving here, Gu Sheng felt that the situation here was completely different from that in the Southern Territory.
Gu Sheng stood on the plains of the Northern Territory and looked around.
All I saw was desolation and lifelessness.
The scene here is in sharp contrast to the blooming flowers in the southern region.
There are no vibrant flowers, plants and trees, only cold, lifeless stones.
They are like abandoned chess pieces scattered across this vast land.
"Isn't this... this place too desolate?"
Gu Sheng couldn't help but sigh.
At this moment, Yao Qing and other Yaoguang cultivators also walked out of the dark river.
Their clothes were still stained with moisture from the underground river, and their faces looked a little solemn.
"Sister Yao Qing, are you here?"
Xiaolong saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
Yao Qing nodded slightly, "How are you doing?"
"We're okay, it's been a smooth ride."
Xiaolong replied.
At this time, Gu Sheng noticed that Yao Qing's face was a little ugly, so he stepped forward and asked, "Did something happen?"
"well……"
Yao Qing sighed, "Several fellow disciples will remain in the underground river forever."
Hearing this, Gu Sheng nodded slightly: "It would be great if we could enter the Northern Territory through the Territory Gate. The underground river is really dangerous."
"There is no way, there are too many people, so this is the only way."
Yao Qing shrugged helplessly.
After seeing that Yao Qing's mood had calmed down a little, Gu Sheng pointed forward and asked, "Yao Qing, why is this in the Northern Territory? It feels completely different from the Southern Territory, as if I have arrived on Mars."
"Huh? Mars? What Mars?"
Yao Qing was confused.
Only then did Gu Sheng realize that he had revealed his knowledge of the previous world again.
"No...nothing, it just feels like it's too desolate here."
Yao Qing nodded, "The Northern Territory is a wild land and a land of mineral resources. It is not as prosperous as the Southern Territory, but it contains rich resources. It is precisely because of this that the Northern Territory is also a place where many powerful people compete. "
After hearing this, Gu Sheng felt a little disappointed.
He originally thought that the Northern Territory would be an uncultivated fertile land, but he did not expect it to be such a desolate place.
Yao Qing saw Gu Sheng's disappointment, and she encouraged: "Gu Sheng, don't be discouraged. Although the Northern Territory is desolate, its resources are very important to our Yaoguang Holy Land."
"What resources, mineral resources?"
Gu Sheng asked.
"That's right. A mine as big as a fist can lift you to nearly a level."
Yao Qing nodded and said.
Gu Sheng didn't say much after hearing Yao Qing's words.
After all, this was the place I had been clamoring to come to before.
Now that it's really here, it's too late to regret it.
Besides, the Ji family in the southern region was still looking for him everywhere, so it would be more appropriate to hide here first.
Afterwards, Yao Qing led everyone towards their destination.
They passed through the ice fields and several barren mountains in the Northern Territory, and finally came to the Taichu ancient mine.
There is a mysterious atmosphere in the air here, as if every stone is telling an ancient legend.
When they arrived at the Taichu Ancient Mine, they saw the previous elder Qingyi and several other elders from the Yaoguang Holy Land already waiting here.
Their figures look particularly solemn at the entrance to the ancient mine.
Elder Qingyi showed a happy smile when he saw Yao Qing and Gu Sheng leading everyone to arrive safely.
After smiling, he suddenly realized that the number of people had decreased, and he quickly asked: "Yao Qing, the number of disciples is wrong, and the number of mountain people has also decreased. What happened?"
"Elder, we encountered a giant python in the underground river, so..."
Yao Qing explained speechlessly.
"Python?"
Elder Qingyi frowned slightly, then stepped forward and said to Yao Qing: "Yao Qing, thank you for your hard work. Your ability to lead everyone here safely under the threat of the giant python is enough to prove your strength."
Yao Qing replied respectfully: "The elder has given me the award. This is the result of everyone's joint efforts, especially Xiao Sheng and Xiao Long."
Elder Qingyi looked at Gu Sheng and Xiaolong: "Well, I'm optimistic about you two too."
"Qiang Qiang Qiang!"
Suddenly, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and gusts of dark wind blew from a distance.
A lot of dust was flying, as if there was a sandstorm.
"Elder...this...why is the wind so strong?"
Yao Qing squinted her eyes and exclaimed in surprise.
Her hair and clothes were blown by the wind and almost flew away.
Elder Qingyi frowned and stared at the dark clouds in the sky.
"The wind is so weird, it doesn't look like a natural phenomenon, it looks more like someone did it on purpose."
Elder Qingyi spoke loudly, and his voice was almost blown away by the wind.
As soon as he finished speaking, the wind suddenly stopped.
The dust gradually settled, and everyone's vision gradually became clearer.
They were surprised to see dozens of strong men riding wild beasts standing in the sky.
These strong men all have strong muscles and fierce eyes. They are not good people at first glance.
The strong man at the head was wearing chainmail and holding a Fangtian painted halberd. He looked shocking.
His appearance suddenly surprised the mountain people.
They exchanged glances with each other, obviously frightened by this sudden scene.
Elder Qingyi was also a little surprised, but quickly calmed down.
After all, he is at the level of an elder. If he gets nervous when encountering such a thing, it would be a huge embarrassment to the Holy Land of Shaking Light.
"Elder, who do you think that guy is?"
Yao Qing asked, pointing to the strong man in the sky.
Elder Tsing Yi's eyes were fixed on the strong man at the head, and then he said slowly: "The guy at the head is Jiang Yi from the Jiang family. He is one of the thirteen major bandits in the Northern Territory. He is known for his ferocity and cunning."
The battle flags are billowing and shocking.
Jiang Yi rode his beast and looked down at the elder Tsing Yi and his group.
"Old man in Qingyi, why do you people from the Holy Land of Light come to my territory?"
His voice was like thunder, making people's eardrums hurt.
"snort!"
The elder in Qingyi snorted coldly and said in an equally loud voice: "Jiang Yi, this is the territory of the Holy Land of Light. It does not belong to thieves like you. You retreat quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
"Hahaha……"
Jiang Yi laughed loudly, with contempt in his eyes: "Old man Qingyi, do you think you are still the powerful elder in the Northern Territory back then? Now you are just an old fox, and you still want to teach me a lesson?"
Elder Qingyi's face darkened, knowing that it was useless to reason with people like Jiang Yi, who only valued strength.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "In that case, let's see the real chapter."
The two did not agree with each other and immediately started fighting.
The elder in green swayed and rushed towards Jiang Yi.
He didn't know when a long sword appeared in his hand. The sword's light flashed and pointed directly at Jiang Yi's heart.
Jiang Yi didn't show any weakness, and the Fang Tian painted halberd in his hand danced vigorously.
"Ding ding ding!"
The long sword collided with Fang Tian's painted halberd, making bursts of crisp metal collision sounds.
As the two men's divine power surged, the surrounding air was distorted by their power.
At the same time, other Yaoguang practitioners and Jiang Yi's men also started a fierce battle.
Yao Qing waved her long sword, and divine power flowed through the sword.
Gu Sheng, who had been sealed off from the wheel, stood aside and watched the fun with other mountain people.
In this way, the competition lasted for half an hour.
"Iori is so powerful!"
Suddenly, Jiang Yi roared angrily.
At that moment, Jiang Yi's body suddenly glowed with light.
At the same time, his body seemed to have turned into a wild bull dozens of feet tall, and he came directly towards Elder Qingyi.
Elder Qingyi's expression changed slightly, and he recognized that what Jiang Yi was using was the legendary Iori Barbaric Strength.
It is an extremely domineering martial skill. It is said that if you practice it to the extreme, you can summon the power of eight wild beasts.
That power can be said to be indestructible and indestructible.
"Everyone, be careful, this Yagami's strength is no small matter!"
Elder Qingyi reminded everyone loudly.
At the same time, his body quickly retreated, trying to avoid Jiang Yi's attack.
"Moo!"
Jiang Yi transformed into a wild bull and rushed towards him.
"Boom boom boom!"
The ground shook with every step the bull took.
It was extremely fast and rushed in front of Elder Qingyi almost instantly.
Elder Qingyi knew that if he resisted this blow, his sea of suffering might be directly shattered, so he could only barely dodge.
"boom!"
There was a loud bang.
Jiang Yi's giant bull horn directly hit the place where the Qingyi elder had just stood.
A hole several feet deep was directly knocked out of the ground there.
The dust is flying and makes people shudder.
"Elder!"
Yao Qing exclaimed.
He wanted to step forward to help, but Elder Qingyi waved his hand to stop him.
"Don't come here. This Yagami is too overbearing. You are no match for him."
Elder Qingyi shouted loudly.
In this way, after several rounds, although Elder Qingyi relied on his rich combat experience and superb body skills to avoid Jiang Yi's attacks, it was obviously a bit difficult.
Jiang Yi saw the incompetence of Elder Qingyi and began to feel proud.
"Elder! Today is your death day!"
Jiang Yi's incarnation as a bull comes back again.
He was going to use the brute force of Yagami to kill the elder in green in one fell swoop.
"Suffer death!"
Jiang Yi shouted loudly, and his body glowed brightly again.
The phantom of the barbarian bull became more solid, as if it was really going to crush the elder in green into powder.
"Buzz..."
At this critical moment, suddenly, a horn sound came from a distance.
The voice was very low, with an indescribable majesty.
Jiang Yi's body shook violently, and he immediately withdrew his Iori force.
Following that, the phantom of the barbarian cow also dissipated.
"If you don't blow it in the morning, you won't blow it in the evening, but now you blow it!"
Jiang Yi's eyes showed unwillingness, and then ordered his subordinates: "Withdraw!"
After receiving Jiang Yi's order, his fighting men immediately stopped what they were doing and retreated to the side.
"Elder Qingyi, I will let you go this time. We will meet again next time!"
After speaking, Jiang Yi roared away with his men.
"call……"
Elder Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. (End of chapter)
