"Continue to go south, and shake off the tail completely first."
Zong Shou said while looking at the sky. Above here, there are hòuhòu clouds. However, if a spiritual master uses the method, he can still push away the sea of clouds at a specific time and use the stars above to determine the direction.
After a rough identification, Zong Shou went to the southwest corner and pointed casually: "In that direction, just keep driving! The whole army is not allowed to use the Red Swift Bird talisman or the like to convey messages. By the way, let others know Load up all the Yuan Mie Nu."
Everyone around him looked unsurprised. This is the outskirts of Hailingyuan, and after the fleet behind them catches up, they will definitely search everywhere. This area is indeed not a suitable place for hunting spirit beasts.
Although this Hailingyuan, no force has been able to clear it out all year round. The deeper you go, the more likely you are to encounter a herd of beasts, even seventh-level beasts.
However, the sect guarding Qiantian Mountain City has almost a year's income and bought eight hundred yuan to destroy the crossbow and three hundred three-armed spiritual crossbows. Among the fleet, there are also top sixth-level experts like Zhu Junhou, Gu Liekong, and Ling Fakong who are far beyond their peers. In times of crisis, secret techniques can be used at any time to reach the seventh level of combat power with the help of an army, so there is no need to worry about it.
Even Master Jingtao did not refute. I don't know if he has his own plan to escape, or if he trusts in the combat power of Qiantian Mountain and Xuanshan City.
Judging from his expression, he seemed to be slightly surprised that Zong Shou actually had a full eight hundred yuan to destroy the crossbow.
And just after Jingtao left the morning banquet and went back to his room to meditate. Zong Shou waved at Gu Liekong again, calling him in front of him.
"Can the ancient governor leave some clues for those guys behind? It would be better to be more precise and let them catch up in five days?"
Gu Liekong raised his eyebrows and looked at Zong Shou in disbelief.
It took nearly ten thousand fire and thunder arrows to finally stop the fleet of the three cities of Taoyun Lieyan in the Demon Sail Cave. It's time to break away quickly, find another hiding place, and hunt the spirit beasts. Zong Shou asked him to leave clues again, and the four thousand cloud ships behind him caught up.
Unless he watched Zong Shou grow up. Knowing that the person in front of him is indeed the real city lord of Qiantian Mountain City.
He almost thought that his new Demon King had been betrayed by others. He wants to sell them to those bastards in Taoyun and Lieyan Yunxia Cities.
With his eyes flashing, Gu Liekong regained his composure after a long time: "I don't know what your Majesty means, but you have your orders, and I dare not disobey you! I lead the ship division, I just need to do a little bit of manipulation." Do it. Five days, sixty hours, no more, no less!"
Zong Shou tilted his head slightly, and then made a hidden gesture toward several Lingyun Sect disciples in the distance.
Gu Liekong immediately understood and said: "I will never let Master Jingtao know about it!"
Zong Shou then smiled with satisfaction. He liked such ministers, who were much more obedient and smarter than Ren Bo and others.
After that, Zong Shou simply stopped going back to his dormitory and stayed on the deck all the time. You can also sit and meditate here, there is no difference.
Just two days later, another majestic mountain appeared in the distance. Hidden in the thick black fog, far outside the range of the spiritual master's lighting magic.
Only someone like him, who specially uses spiritual methods to enhance his eyesight, can barely see an outline.
But just this vague shadow made Zong Shou clenched his fists fiercely. This place has finally arrived!
Stand up from the deck of this ship, the throne specially designed for him. Zong Shou strode to the bow of the ship and looked over as hard as he could.
Same! It was indeed exactly the same as when he came here in his previous life, but it was much safer here than it would be ten thousand years later.
It has not experienced the period when the spiritual tide broke out, so this place is far less densely populated with seventh-order spirit beasts than it was in later generations.
Below the cloud ship, there are at most five or six levels of beasts and evil spirits. There is nothing you can do about this cloud ship floating three hundred feet in the sky.
Only some birds and flying demons can pose some threat to the fleet.
But often before they even get close, they are shot at by countless crossbows and killed on the spot. It was a smooth journey all the way.
Gu Liekong also noticed the giant mountains in the distance, and also walked to Zong Shou's side. He frowned and said: "Your Majesty, I think this mountain range is majestic. I'm afraid it will be difficult to cross, so it's better to go around it."
Zong Shou shook his head and did not answer. He carefully determined the direction again, and after a moment, he pointed towards the direction of thirty degrees to the southwest and said: "Go that way!"
Gu Liekong was helpless and thought that it would be okay to delay for a moment anyway. The mountain in front of me doesn't look out of the ordinary. Then an order was issued, causing the entire fleet, more than a thousand cloud ships, to turn around.
But just when the entire fleet was about twenty miles ahead. From all directions here, there were bursts of roars of beasts, as well as the sharp screams of evil spirits.
One after another, one wave is better than the other. The further in, the louder the roar becomes.
A moment later, not only the entire fleet, but also thousands of cloud ships were in a commotion. Even Jingtao, who was practicing in his room, was disturbed again and returned to the deck. Filling his eyes with spiritual power, he looked around. There were howling sounds from all directions, front and back, left and right. Even more faintly visible, countless giant beasts were hidden in the thick fog, and they seemed to be faintly surrounded by these beasts and evil spirits.
"Is this a beast tide?"
After confirming, Jingtao suddenly took a breath of cold air and turned extremely pale. Unable to maintain his previous indifference, he angrily asked Zong Shou: "Please give me an explanation, Lord Zong!"
With just a cursory glance, he had already discovered nearly 10,000 sixth-level beasts, and there were even more who were below the fifth level. A beast tide of this size would definitely not lack seventh-level beasts. Under a heavy siege, even if they brought the secret treasure this time, they might not be able to escape easily this time.
If it were not for the presence of the 800 Yuan Mie Nu, the fleet would not be in danger for the time being, and he would immediately lead these many Lingyun disciples and fly away.
"Master, please be patient and don't be impatient!"
Zong Shou looked back and motioned for Gu Liekong to continue. Then he frowned and thought carefully about his words: "I don't know, have you ever heard of the Beast Tomb?"
"Beast Tomb?"
Jingtao murmured, with a thoughtful look in his eyes: "I've heard of it before, the place where the bones of high-level spirit beasts are buried! Rumor has it that under the sea of clouds, those spirit beasts that produce spiritual intelligence don't want the corpse beast crystal to be buried for other beasts. They do not want to be deprived of vitality and blood by evil and charming things. Therefore, before death, they will deliberately choose some special areas to die. Over time, the so-called beast tombs are all extremely dangerous places. Not only many spirit beasts will be attracted by the beast crystals buried inside, but even those evil creatures will linger around."
"The real person is indeed well-informed! There is such a beast tomb in front of you."
The entire deck was silent. Immediately, countless doubtful eyes came to look at him one after another. Zong Shou felt helpless for a while, he knew this would be the case. This matter is so shocking that no matter how close people are to him, they will definitely seek out the source.
Originally, the place he chose was not here. It is another place where a large number of spirit beasts can be hunted. It is estimated that in just one month, the profit can reach millions of fourth-level beast crystals.
It was only because of Yue Guanyun and the others that they finally changed their minds.
Naturally, at this moment, an explanation is needed to clear up everyone's doubts.
After hesitating for a moment, Zong Shou finally gave a wry smile and said: "If an elder told me that there are countless beast corpses here, I don't know if you believe it or not?" He was not lying. He did learn from an elder in this place. , learned. But this man, who has been dead for seven thousand years, recorded this place in a book. This beast tomb had long been emptied by people at that time.
After saying this, everyone around him had different expressions. The first thing that came to mind for Master Jingtao was Zong Weiran, who was said to have reached the realm of heaven a few years ago and even traveled alone into the sea of clouds. However, when Zhao Yanran and Xuanyuan Yiren knew that Zong Shou had become a disciple of Cangsheng Dao, the figure that flashed in their minds was Wei Xu.
As for Hu Zhongyuan and others, they are confused. However, everyone knew that Zong Shou could not deliberately put himself to death.
Jingtao hesitated slightly and looked around again. After careful observation this time, it was indeed different from the ordinary beast tide.
There are a lot of evil things nearby, not just under the beasts, but they are fighting and killing each other. And these evil spirits do not seem to be driven by high-level evil spirits. They are just instinctively wary of their fleet.
I couldn't help but believe it 70% of the time. This situation was indeed similar to the rumored beast tomb.
Then he just listened to Zong Shou, and said in a strange tone: "If you really don't believe it, you can rush back first, Zong Shou will never stop you."
Jingtao's eyes immediately shrank again. He looked at Zong Shou carefully again, and there was a slight sneer on his face, which was almost undetectable.
With the help of Lingyun Sect's power, Yue Guanyun Xiongba and the other three people were afraid to take action. Then he used fire and thunder arrows in the Demon Sail Cave to shake off all the four thousand cloud ships behind him.
He has learned a lot about this prince's methods. Sure enough, as rumored, although he is unable to practice, he is extremely intelligent and has top-notch power and strategy.
But this person let them leave at this time, and I don’t know what his intention was
Are you trying to burn bridges and try to swallow these beast crystals for yourself? Something was wrong. If he had such intention, then he should not have told him that there was a beast tomb here.
With only a slight hesitation, Jingtao shook his head and said: "Since our Lingyun Sect has accepted the deposit from the city lord, we have no reason not to do our best. How can we abandon the city lord at this time? Whether it is a beast tomb or not, go in and take a look. It’s okay.”
Zong Shou smiled and laughed secretly in his heart. There was nothing unusual on the surface, and all the cloud ships were ordered to move forward.
Sure enough, after about a few miles, you can vaguely see the ground three hundred feet below. Hundreds of bones of spirit beasts are scattered around. There are also countless Yin Qi permeating everywhere.
