The Liuyun Mountain Range is the second largest mountain range in Xihe Prefecture after the Lingyun Mountain Range. The intensity of spiritual energy is much worse than the former. However, the mountain is rich in elixirs and various rare plants, no less than the Lingyun Mountains. It is a medicine mountain that is famous far and near.
The most important thing is that although there are many large and small sects around this mountain range, there is no particularly strong sect, so it is a land without one.
There are many more warriors who come in and out of this place than in the Lingyun Mountains. Most of them are hired by major forces to protect the herb collectors who enter the mountain and prevent them from being injured by the ferocious spiritual beasts in the mountain.
On a solitary peak in the core of Liuyun Mountain Range, a woman in white clothes carrying a basket of medicine on her back was quickly climbing up the treacherous cliff.
Beside the woman in white, a young swordsman in blue robe slowly floated beside her, protecting her. Who was that swordsman if it wasn't Xiao Chen
Xiao Chen looked at the girl in white who was struggling to climb up, shook his head, and said calmly: "Miss Sun, why bother? Just tell me what the medicine you are looking for looks like, and I will pick it off for you."
This woman is the daughter of the owner of a mountain village near the Liuyun Mountains who is famous for refining medicine. Her name is Sun Qian, and she is also the person who issued Xiao Chen's mission.
If you help the other party successfully pick a spiritual medicine, you can get a thousand merit points. Xiao Chen doesn't want to waste time, so he just wants to complete the task quickly.
Sun Qian's delicate face was covered with sweat. After hearing Xiao Chen's words, she wiped the sweat and said with a smile: "Master Ye, it's not that I have to insist on it, but it's very troublesome to pick and step on this elixir. Pull out all the roots without any damage.”
"Otherwise, the spiritual energy will leak out, and the elixir will soon wither, and its efficacy will be completely gone. People who do not have a certain amount of experience in collecting herbs will not understand the specific methods at all."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly. Since he said this, he could only let the other party do it. He spread his consciousness and began to detect the surrounding situation.
He can also make medicine himself, and he knows that what Sun Qian said is a bit exaggerated. As long as the damage is well preserved, the efficacy of any elixir will not be consumed so quickly.
But she didn't bother to pay attention to it. Her request wasn't too exaggerated. She could just adapt to the situation when the time came.
The cliff where the two of them are located is very famous in the entire Liuyun Mountains. It has a very interesting name, called "Be Crazy First", also known as Immortal Medicine Peak.
Immortal Medicine Peak is located at the core of the Liuyun Mountain Range. It is where the spiritual energy of the entire mountain range gathers. There are top-quality elixirs that can be easily picked up everywhere on the mountain peak.
At the foot of the mountain are elixirs that are about fifty years old. When you reach the mountainside, they are all elixirs that are a hundred years old. Going up the mountain are all elixirs that are more than a hundred years old.
If you can climb to the top, you may even be lucky enough to find elixirs that are more than a thousand years old. It can be said to be a real elixir peak.
The reason why there is another name "Go Crazy First" is passed down from the herb collectors. Only crazy people will risk their lives to climb this mountain peak.
Because it is too dangerous, there are all kinds of ferocious flying spirit beasts around. These spirit beasts consume the best elixirs all year round, and their cultivation strength is much stronger than ordinary spirit beasts.
And it's because in the high altitude, even the top-level martial masters who have not learned the flying martial arts dare not climb to the mountainside. At most, they can pick some elixirs at the foot of the mountain and leave immediately.
As for the peak above 4,000 meters, there was once a top-grade Martial King who relied on his strength to fly up. However, he did not last for half a minute before he was brutally killed by the guardian spirit beast of the holy medicine on the top of the mountain.
Xiao Chen also knew his own strength very clearly. This mission only required climbing to a hundred meters above the mountainside, which was within his endurance range.
As he goes up, he has no choice but to give up on this mission, without the cultivation of King Wu. He was simply seeking death. He had only gone up five hundred meters when he encountered several ferocious sixth-level spiritual beasts.
In the induction of spiritual consciousness, several black spots flew over quickly from the northwest. Xiao Chen exchanged the Soul Sword Bow from the Qiankun Ring and said lightly: "Miss Sun, be careful, another spiritual beast is flying here."
Sun Qian's face changed slightly when she heard this, and she quickly stopped climbing. She slowly moved towards a raised rock that was convenient for borrowing strength.
The black spots in the distance are getting closer and closer, but they are four sixth-level intermediate flying spirit beasts, Fire Cloud Vultures, three meters long, with their wings spread a full twenty meters apart.
The wings all over the body are as bright as fire, and the entire body looks like a burning flame in the air. The nine erected wings on the tail are like sharp swords, straight and tough, with a wisp of flame wrapped around the end.
Although this kind of flying spirit beast is only at the sixth-level intermediate level, it is more difficult to deal with in the air than the ordinary sixth-level peak spirit beast. If you are not careful, you will suffer a big loss.
call out!
Xiao Chen drew the string of his bow and took a Yuan Guang arrow. His consciousness locked on a Fire Cloud Vulture and immediately let go. The arrow was like a meteor chasing the moon, piercing the air and making a harsh friction sound.
With a whoosh, it pierced through the body of a Fire Vulture, leaving a huge bloody hole. With a wail, the huge body of the Fire Cloud Vulture fell to the ground.
Tsk!
Continuously moving his hand, Xiao Chen shot another arrow. The stronger the Soul Sword Bow, the more powerful it would be. When Xiao Chen used it every few months, the power would be greatly increased.
The other Fire Cloud Vulture that was targeted moved around in the air, but still did not get rid of the fate of death. It shot a bloody hole with a bang.
"Ms. Sun, be careful. I'll be back as soon as I go."
The remaining two ends were less than 500 meters away from Xiao Chen. If the distance was too close, the effect of the Soul Sword Bow would be weak. Xiao Chen put on the Moon Shadow Sword and rushed out to lure the Fire Cloud Vulture away.
Sun Qian said worriedly: "Young Master Ye, be careful."
Whoosh!
A Fire Cloud Vulture quickly flashed over Xiao Chen's head, and two sharp claws that could easily split rocks fiercely grabbed Xiao Chen's head.
If Xiao Chen is caught, no matter how hard his body is, his head will immediately blossom.
Seeing the huge body of Huo Yunjiu covering Xiao Chen's figure all of a sudden, Sun Qian turned pale with fright and exclaimed.
Bang bang!
Out of nowhere, two explosions sounded. The first explosion caused the Fire Cloud Vulture's claws, which were as hard as cold iron, to be cut off in unison, and it quickly fell from the sky.
With the second explosion, a ray of knife tip penetrated the Fire Cloud Vulture's body, and then Xiao Chen's body completely penetrated the Fire Cloud Vulture's body.
Sun Qian's pale face looked at Xiao Chen who was safe and sound, and she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was scared to death."
If Xiao Chen died under the claws of the Fire Cloud Vulture, with her level of cultivation as a great martial artist, it is conceivable that the result would be that she would follow in Xiao Chen's footsteps.
The last remaining Fire Cloud Vulture kept circling around Xiao Chen, its tail leaving circles of flames in the air. Finally, these flames formed a huge fire whirlwind and wrapped Xiao Chen inside.
break!
Xiao Chen swung his sword, and the sharp sword energy blasted the fire whirlwind, opening a hole and shooting it quickly from the raging fire.
Whoosh whoosh!
The moment it came out, the eight flame-wrapped wings on the Fire Cloud Vulture's tail flew over like sharp arrows.
The flame wings, while flying in the air, kept absorbing the fire-attribute spiritual energy in the air. When they approached Xiao Chen, they formed a flame spear more than twenty meters long.
Xiao Chen was in the air, using the technique of gravity, and could only use about 70% of his strength, so he did not dare to fight against these flame spears.
Nine transformations of the dragon!
With a soft drink, his body swayed in the air and split into nine parts, avoiding the flying flames. The spear continued unabated and hit the ground, exploding eight huge pits.
The breeze cuts, only the breeze but no sword!
Nine breezes blew out of thin air from all directions, each one in the breeze.
There was a figure of Xiao Chen hidden in them all. In an instant, Xiao Chen's murderous intent was gone, and only the gentle breeze blew over the body of the Fire Cloud Eagle.
Huo Yunjiu, who had never encountered such a situation before, couldn't sense Xiao Chen's murderous aura for a while, and couldn't help but become confused.
boom!
At the moment when it was confused, the nine figures of Xiao Chen suddenly overlapped together. On the body of Huo Yunjiu, nine blades of sword energy rushed away, and it was cut into nine petals in an instant.
Xiao Chen sheathed his sword, returned to Sun Qian's side, and said calmly: "It will be more dangerous if you go up further, just tell me what elixir you need, and I will take you there."
Sun Qian looked embarrassed and hesitant, but looking at Xiao Chen's determined eyes, she finally lowered her head and whispered: "What I want is the 500-year-old Nine-Colored Cloud Fruit. I want to step on the whole plant." Come down."
The five-hundred-year-old nine-color flowing cloud fruit is worth a lot of money. If you sell it, you can easily get more than five hundred intermediate spirit stones.
This mission seemed to be lost. Xiao Chen shook his head helplessly. After a moment, his spiritual consciousness spread out and found the location of the Nine-Color Flowing Cloud Fruit.
Sure enough, the Nine-Colored Flowing Cloud Fruit was only a hundred meters away from the mountainside, but a full kilometer away. No wonder the woman refused to take her up there.
I was worried that I would turn around and leave immediately after knowing the true situation, so I had to bite the bullet and crawl by myself. When I got to the place, I would not be able to leave her alone.
Xiao Chen withdrew his consciousness, smiled helplessly, and hugged Sun Qian, who was bowing her head, in the midst of the other party's exclamations.
He used the Qinglong Soaring Cloud Technique, then turned on his wind boots. His speed suddenly reached the speed of sound, and he quickly climbed up the cliff.
After blinking a dozen times, he arrived at the location of the Nine-Color Flowing Cloud Fruit. He placed Sun Qian, who had not yet recovered, on a raised rock and said: "We're here, hurry up, and there will be a spirit soon." The beast is coming."
Sun Qian looked at the Nine-Color Flowing Cloud Fruit in front of her, and then she came back to her senses. She quickly took out a medicine hoe from the medicine basket and began to dig carefully.
call out!
Suddenly there was an invisible fluctuation in the air. Xiao Chen frowned slightly and looked into the distance.
At the end of the line of sight, I saw a fire-lucky vulture that was twenty meters long, with wings spread up to a hundred meters wide, and more than twenty wings attached to its tail.
Damn it, it's actually an adult Fire Vulture. It has lived for at least five hundred years. I am definitely no match for him in the air.
Xiao Chen quickly analyzed in his mind that few spiritual beasts can live to adulthood, but once they reach adulthood, their strength will undergo a qualitative change.
"Miss Sun, how much longer do you need?" Xiao Chen asked aloud.
Sun Qian was concentrating on using the medicinal hoe to dig up the small tree where Liuyunguo grew. When she heard Xiao Chen's question, she replied: "Two minutes, just two minutes will be enough."
Xiao Chen looked calm and said: "Don't lie to me, I will pick you up in two minutes."
After finishing speaking, he jumped in the air towards the adult Fire Cloud Vulture, flew over quickly, and led it in another direction. Xiao Chen only had to hold it for two minutes without asking to kill it.
Hearing the call from behind and sensing Xiao Chen leaving, Sun Qian's head immediately grew big, and her two pretty eyes were tightly together.
He said with a grimace: "I'm serious, it obviously takes at least three minutes, please hurry up."
The movements of his hands began to become faster. After digging out the rhizome, he immediately carefully cleaned the hundreds of long and small tentacles on the rhizome.
None of these tentacles could be broken, or it would be difficult for her to achieve her goal. The sound of explosions came from behind, making her even more nervous, and her speed became a little faster again.
Two minutes later, Xiao Chen rushed back in a dusty state. His robe had been burned to no avail, and his hair was disheveled.
A trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and there was a fiery red wing on his chest. Xiao Chen pulled out the wing.
Sun Qian heard the cry again, and her forehead was covered with sweat. The movement of her hands reached the limit. She finally cleaned out all the last few tentacles, and then quickly put them back into the medicine basket and closed it.
Xiao Chen didn't give her a chance to speak, he hugged her directly and quickly fell to the ground two thousand meters high.
boom!
As soon as the two people left, the huge claws of the adult Fire Luck Vulture grabbed it with a bang. Two large holes with a diameter of ten meters were immediately opened on the mountain peak, and countless dust flew up.
Seeing that the entire Nine-Color Flowing Cloud Fruit had been dug away, the adult Fire Luck Vulture was completely angry. It swooped towards Xiao Chen and Xiao Chen with a sharp cry, and its speed exceeded the speed of sound in an instant.
Falling directly from a high altitude, Sun Qian's face turned pale in Xiao Chen's arms. She was so frightened that she did not dare to make a sound. She held Xiao Chen's waist tightly with her hands.
Using the Dragon and Tiger Body Shaping Technique, Xiao Chen restrained his strength and suddenly increased his weight to ten thousand kilograms, and his falling speed suddenly increased dozens of times.
When he was about to land, he quickly dispersed his energy and sent out a stream of air toward the ground, and his body immediately slid forward.
Purple Thunder True Fire, shoot!
Xiao Chen turned around, and the blazing purple fire in his right eye quickly condensed and formed into a purple arrow, which hit the chasing Fire Vulture like lightning.
boom! The explosion produced a huge air wave, blowing the adult Fire Vulture's huge body upside down and flying far away, instantly closing the distance between it and Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen completed a series of actions in a flash of lightning, without any pause, and consumed less than 30% of his energy.
Coupled with the previous injuries, this journey can be said to be extremely thrilling. If you hesitate for a moment, you will die under the claws of the vulture.
