Chapter 229 I Failed to Protect Everyone!

The sun was blazing and there was no cloud in the sky.

Chen Ping and Xia He walked quickly together.

"How is this horse?" Xiahe asked.

"Magical horse!" Chen Ping replied with two simple words, which was enough to show his appreciation for the horse under his crotch.

There are no more than ten such "six-legged" horses on the entire Yanchi Island, and the Xia family has six. According to legend, the fastest horse in the world is an eight-legged horse, which was once the mount of the seven main gods. Later, the main gods After leaving, the eight-legged horse wandered on the mainland and was found by the six God-chosen heroes. However, at that time, the horse degenerated and became a "six-legged horse" with four legs and two wings.

This is the first time Chen Ping has seen this kind of magical horse. Its speed is dozens of times faster than any heavy motorcycle. Putting aside the teleportation array, jumper, and spaceship, this is definitely the fastest in Chen Ping's knowledge. "Transportation".

The body of the six-legged divine horse is strong and slender, its muscles are looming under the smooth fur, and every ups and down seems to contain endless power.

The color of the horse's fur seemed to be dyed by the purest starlight, a deep and shining silver white, with a slight blue light shining at the tips of its fur, like the brightest star in the night sky resting on its body.

The most unique thing is its back, from where a pair of huge and gorgeous wings extend.

The feathers on the wings are clearly defined, and each one seems to be carved from the most exquisite crystal.

When the wings are spread out, they are wide enough to cover a small patch of sky, and the soft feathers flutter gently with the breeze.

The two-day trip was instantly shortened to half a day.

White clouds began to gather in the sky where there were no clouds before.

The sky seems to be lowered in the Valley of the Clouds, and large tracts of clouds as white as snow seem to be pulled by invisible hands, flowing slowly over the valley.

The clouds and mist are lingering, and the entire Cloud Valley seems to be lightly covered by a layer of gauze, looming, giving people a mysterious feeling.

The terrain of Cloud Valley is undulating, with an open valley in the middle, surrounded by rolling hills with rugged rocks.

There is a crystal clear stream flowing in the valley, with gurgling water. The source of the stream is a small waterfall pouring down from the mountain wall.

In the valley, there are tall and straight trees growing, with thick trunks, silver lines on the bark, lush branches and leaves, light blue leaves, and a faint electric light flashing on the edge of each leaf.

When the breeze blows, the blades rub against each other and make a slight buzzing sound.

The fruits are crystal clear blue beads.

"This is the Lingyun Tree, a tree unique to the Valley of the Clouds. The Lingyun Fruit produced on it contains very pure star power. However, the people on Yanchi Island like swordsmanship and cannot master it. The power of the stars!"

"Of course, the mages from the outside world covet this Lingyun Fruit, but while this fruit contains the power of stars, it is also highly poisonous."

"Every year, some mages who are not afraid of death come to steal Lingyun Fruit, consume it, and then die suddenly!"

Under those Lingyun trees, there are piles of white bones, constantly waking up all those who are close, but people die for wealth and birds die for food. For the mages of the Star Continent, the power of the stars is their "wealth"!

Chen Ping slowed down and walked to a Lingyun tree. With a wave of one hand, he took down a lot of Lingyun fruits.

"Brother Chen! No!" Xiahe quickly stopped him.

However, Chen Ping didn't try it. He just took a lot of Lingyun Fruit and received it in the space stone.

Even if you can't extract the power of the stars from this kind of fruit, if you use it as a "poison" to poison others, there will definitely be unexpected results!

Along the way, Chen Ping collected a lot of Lingyun Fruit until he saw the stream in the valley.

There are many weeds growing on both sides of the creek.

Their leaves are small and numerous, with golden veins on the leaves that glow faintly at night.

"This is star leaf grass. They like humid environments and cluster together like bright green stars!"

"And this grass has miraculous healing power. An injured creature only needs to chew a few pieces of star leaf grass, and the wound will heal quickly!"

As Xia He spoke, he got off his horse, picked a few star leaves, stuffed them into his mouth, and chewed them quickly.

Although the elixir prepared by Chen Ping can speed up the recovery of Xia He's injuries, it will take at least ten days and a half to heal, and may even leave scars.

After Xiahe ate a few grass leaves, she uncovered the bandaged wound, mashed some of the grass leaves, and applied it to the wound. After just a few seconds, the wound miraculously healed.

"This is the place with the most abundant star power in the entire Yanchi Island. The plants growing here also have magical abilities!"

"Then why don't you pick more of this grass and take it with you?" Chen Ping asked.

"After the star leaf grass is picked, it will lose its effect within a few minutes and turn into a very ordinary weed!"

Chen Ping nodded, and the two continued walking for a few more minutes, arriving at the entrance of a cave.

"Your friend is inside!" Xiahe pointed to the entrance of the cave.

Outside the cave entrance, there were four women wearing bright red armor, holding long swords and guarding carefully.

Chen Ping walked into the cave. Four female guards from the Xia family were taking care of Xiaobai and Su Qianqian. Their injuries were completely healed under the influence of star leaf grass, but their physical exhaustion was a bit serious, especially for Xiaobai. , there is no elemental power here, and the elemental power she consumes cannot be replenished at all.

"Brother Dong!" Seeing Chen Ping, Su Qianqian recovered more than half and stood up quickly.

"How are you?" Chen Ping asked with concern.

"I'm sorry, Brother Dong... I didn't protect everyone!" Su Xixi felt very guilty at this time. She even hoped that she was the one missing at this time. After all, when she separated from Chen Ping, she had vowed to take good care of Alia, Xiaobai and Xuena.

But when they met again, Xiaobai was injured, and Alia and Xuena were missing, and their lives and deaths were unknown!

"If I encounter a level 5 demon, even if I am, I may not be able to escape unscathed. You have tried your best!" Chen Ping patted Su Xixi's shoulder.

Su Xixi, who was already extremely self-blaming, heard Chen Ping's comfort, and her crystal tears could no longer be held back, like a dam bursting, and it was out of control.

"I'm really useless!"

"They must still be alive, and I will definitely find them back!" Chen Ping said firmly.

"Brother Dong, I'll go with you!"

"You haven't fully recovered yet, it's safe here for the time being, you and Xiaobai will stay here for the time being!"

Su Xixi nodded with tears in her eyes when she heard this. She knew that in her current condition, she would only be a burden if she went.

Previously, after integrating the power of the stars, she thought that her strength had greatly increased and she would definitely become Chen Ping's greatest help. However, the opponents they encountered were also stronger, and her improvement was not enough!

After seeing Su Xixi and Xiaobai safe with his own eyes, Chen Ping walked out of the cave with confidence.

"Master, the fog is too thick, and I can't see clearly at all!"

Xiao Hei flew out a few minutes in advance to find the whereabouts of Xue Na and Alia, but all vision was blocked by the fog. In this vast valley, searching for the whereabouts of two people is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Chen Ping, who had just been reborn, was always indifferent to the people around him. When encountering danger, Chen Ping's first reaction was to protect himself, and as for other life and death, they were secondary.

After all, he was full of passion at the beginning, but what he got in return was two betrayals.

But now, the cold blood seems to be boiling again. The people in the team can help him less and less, but after experiencing so many life and death together, Chen Ping has regarded these people as real relatives in his subconscious mind, or maybe he has not discovered it yet.

Looking around, Chen Ping felt a rare anxiety in his heart.

"Master, I can sense the devil's energy, maybe I can find your friend!"

As Chen Ping was thinking, the voice of the nine-tailed fox appeared in his mind.

"How are you recovering?"

"Master, please show mercy, Xiaojiu's injury is not serious and he has recovered!" The nine-tailed fox responded.

"Okay!"

In order to avoid trouble, Chen Ping first sent Xia He away: "The valley is too big, let's search separately. Tomorrow morning, whether we find clues or not, we will return here to meet up!"

"Okay, be careful!" Xia He nodded and separated from Chen Ping.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Chen Ping took out the scroll and the nine-tailed fox walked out of it.

"Xiao Jiu, meet the master!"

"In the future, there is no need to be so polite!"

"Yes! Master!" The nine-tailed fox nodded, looked around, and then showed its true form. Nine fiery red tails fluttered in the wind, separating a ray of red flame.

"This direction!"

One man and one demon followed the red flame closely.

"According to Xia He, after the Life Hammer War, the demons retreated to a corner at the southern end of the continent and set up a barrier, no longer interacting with the outside world. Why did you come to Yanchi Island?" Chen Ping asked while on the road.

"Reporting to the Lord, our demon clan was created by the God of Space, one of the seven main gods. When the Fate Hammer War broke out, the God of Space had already left the Star Continent, and the star fragment he left behind fell into the hands of the Fire Clan. Later, the Fire Clan perished, and the whereabouts of the star fragment became unknown!"

"Our demon clan does not want to have any contact with the outside world, but we must find the star fragments belonging to the demon clan!"

"It's just that over the years, the information we can get is very limited. Until five years ago, we learned that Yan Chi, the chosen one, came here with star fragments!"

"Yan Chi has the star fragments of the God of Fire. He obtained the star fragments of the Fire Clan and is also the chosen one. I guess he should also know the whereabouts of our demon clan star fragments, so he wants to come to investigate!"

"But so far, there has been no trace of Yan Chi, and in order to maintain my human appearance, I have no choice..."

The nine-tailed fox was briefly explaining, and suddenly paused.

"Master, there are demons ahead!"

After a few flashes, Chen Ping heard the sound of fierce fighting.

In the distance, brilliant magic fell crazily, and seven or eight level five demons were struggling to resist.

"Alia!"

Chen Ping's eyes widened. The one fighting against the demons was Alia, who was wearing a robe and waving a staff. Her face was a little pale, and behind her was the seriously injured Xue Na.

"Star power? That person can actually convert star power into magic power!"

The nine-tailed fox saw Alia releasing magic, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Swish!"

Chen Ping directly took out the Red Flame Sword.

"Master, there are only a few demons, you don't need to do it yourself!"

Before Chen Ping took action, the nine-tailed fox turned into a ball of flames and rushed over directly.
