The mountains are high and the forests are dense, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, and the roar of monsters can be heard from time to time. In the dense forest, Long Chen is riding on the back of Xiaoxue, his face is very ugly.
"Old bastard, old calf, old scumbag"
Long Chen kept cursing Tufang in his mouth. He was miserable this time. When he took out the map that Tufang gave him, he almost fainted.
On the one-foot-square map, Long Chen saw the location of the Xuantian Dao Sect at a glance, but after searching three times, he saw a place the size of a mosquito's leg in the corner, marked with the Fengming Empire.
Long Chen was dumbfounded at the time, and found an empire next door, silently measured the distance between the two, and then compared the distance between Xuantian Daozong.
He was shocked to find that there was a distance of more than 200,000 miles from Xuantian Courtyard, and this was a straight-line distance.
There are several mountain ranges marked on the middle map, where there will be high-level magical beasts, that is to say, as long as Long Chen doesn't want to feed them, he needs to detour.
Long Chen was so angry that he cursed. The old man, Tufang, looked serious, but he was actually a dummy. Letting him, a blood-blooded kid, go through such a long distance, isn't this courting death
What Long Chen didn't know was that Xuantian Courtyard had strict rules, and the selection of disciples was extremely strict.
Originally, Long Chen had no spiritual roots, so he was not qualified to participate in the assessment. Tu Fang had already made an exception.
In order to be able to give an explanation to the other courtyard, letting Long Chen pass through the wasteland of more than 200,000 miles alone is also the price for him to get the quota, and others will not say that he is favoritism.
Long Chen did the math, and now he has to travel at least 8,000 miles a day to reach Xuantian Courtyard within a month.
If you just sprint on a flat road, at the current speed of Xiaoxue, it is nothing, but in this wilderness with high mountains and dense forests, the road is not easy to walk, and it is necessary to guard against the attack of monsters.
After only seven days, Long Chen experienced several battles, and there were many monsters blocking the road along the way, all of which were killed by Long Chen.
In seven days, he traveled more than 30,000 miles, and the speed was far from what he expected. This made Long Chen angry and angry, but there was nothing he could do.
"Crackling"
The raging fire kept ringing, and in the wilderness, the flames were more than ten feet high, illuminating the surrounding space.
Beside the fire, a giant snake with a length of more than ten meters was skinned and placed on a tree trunk.
Long Chen and Xiaoxue lay on the tree trunk and ate desperately. Long Chen didn't eat much, but eating more food seemed to ease the depression in his heart, so he let go of his stomach.
Xiaoxue also started to eat frantically. It was much faster than Long Chen. Long Chen only ate a dozen pounds, and the rest of the meat entered Xiaoxue's stomach.
It was a very dangerous move to start a fire in the wild and eat barbecue, which would attract fierce monsters.
But Long Chen can't take care of that much anymore. He is pressed for time and needs to use all the time to hurry, hurry during the day and practice at night.
As a beast, Xiaoxue has a powerful physical body. Even if he runs for several days and nights, it will be fine, and he does not need to practice cultivation, as long as he has meat to eat.
Anyway, there are those blind monsters everywhere on the road, just choose one for dinner. After eating, Long Chen began to practice, and Xiaoxue also had a full stomach, and started to sleep beside Long Chen.
Xiaoxue eats very full every day. To Long Chen's surprise, Xiaoxue's body grows a circle every day.
Now Xiaoxue is 1.5 feet long, and the height is basically the same as Long Chen, and it looks more powerful and majestic.
And every day, Xiaoxue's strength and speed are also increasing, which makes Long Chen surprised and excited at the same time.
Xiaoxue itself is a third-order monster, and it is still in the growth period, and it is getting stronger every day. At the current speed, it may be a little too late.
But with the growth of Xiaoxue, the speed is getting faster and faster, and it should be no problem to arrive at Xuantian Courtyard within a month.
At the same time of excitement, Long Chen was also full of gratitude to Meng Qi, and sent Xiaoxue, but it was a huge help to him.
With Xiaoxue guarding, with its sensitive sense of smell, any monsters should not think about approaching silently, and Long Chen can practice with confidence.
Long Chen slowly closed his eyes, and in just a few breaths, Long Chen's mind entered a state of emptiness. At this time, he could enter into meditation, and achieve the goal of forgetting both things.
The Baizhang Divine Ring appeared behind him, like a huge vortex, greedily sucking the spiritual energy of the world and pouring it into Long Chen's body.
After the aura entered Fengfuxing, Fengfuxing slowly turned, and the aura of that day was compressed by Fengfuxing, became more pure, slowly merged into Long Chen's body, and finally stretched into the blood.
When the spiritual energy entered the blood, the blood that was flowing slowly began to flow rapidly, like a mountain torrent, and even made a roaring sound.
With the infiltration of spiritual energy, the impurities in the blood were continuously forced out of the body, turning into mucus like sweat, with a smell.
This is coagulation, condensing the blood essence, forcing impurities out of the body, making the blood more pure, and nourishing the body with such blood, it will make the body more powerful as if it were reborn.
"boom"
There was a roar in Long Chen's body, and the blood vessels in the body became thinner. A smile appeared on Long Chen's face, spit out the turbid air in his chest, and opened his eyes.
At this time, Dongfang was already white with fish belly. He wiped the jade pendant in his arms, and there was a hint of warmth in his heart.
This is the only thing left to him by his parents. This piece of jade is very miraculous. It can quickly eliminate distracting thoughts and enter a state of meditation, which doubles the efficiency of cultivation.
It was almost impossible to feel the flow of time, as if the sky was bright just after closing his eyes, but Long Chen felt the change in his body.
"call"
A fist was thrown, the space oscillated, the fist wind whistled, and it approached the big tree ten feet away.
"boom"
The big tree as thick as a bucket folded in response.
"The power of the physical body is stronger again. You can have such a terrifying effect without combat skills. The blood coagulation realm is really incredible." Long Chen clenched his fist tightly, and his heart was hot.
Now that the blood in his body has been purified four times, the power of his body has skyrocketed, to the point where even he himself is shocked.
However, the coagulation realm is different from other qi gathering realms. After condensing blood once, it is necessary to let the body continue to make blood, fill the original refining blood, and restore the blood vessels to the original level before the next coagulation.
Usually this takes about half a month, but I don't have this concern about Long Chen. I don't know if it is the effect of the Nine Stars Hegemony Art. When he first coagulated, it only took a few hours, and the blood was full. .
The second time, it took one day, the third time it took two days, and now it's the fourth time, Long Chen estimates that it may take four days to enter the next coagulation.
But no matter what, the current Long Chen is already a powerhouse of the fourth level of blood coagulation.
"Ow"
Suddenly Xiaoxue called out, and Long Chen hurriedly put away his smile and said, "Okay, let's go right away"
It turned out that Xiaoxue saw Long Chen smirking all the time, and even started to urge him to hurry, Xiaoxue kicked his hind legs, like a white streamer, and rushed straight ahead.
"Haha, Xiaoxue, your speed is one step faster than yesterday." Long Chen exclaimed excitedly, Xiaoxue's speed has increased again, and in the future, you don't have to rush your way.
"Ow"
"What, you said that as long as you have enough meat, you can continue to improve? Well, let's try today, can we kill a Tier 3 monster and give you a tooth sacrifice?" Long Chen laughed.
Continue to move forward, the dense forest in front of you disappears, and a desert appears, with thousands of miles of yellow sand, endless and full of desolation.
Long Chen hurriedly opened the map and nodded, his route was not wrong, this desert was the only way for him.
After looking at the map carefully, I found a grass stalk as a scale, and measured the distance of this desert, I couldn't help but gasp.
"Xiaoxue, this desert is 35,000 to 37,000 miles away, and there is a certain distance. It's a desert, not a drop of water. We can't run fast on the sand. It may take four or five days, you Can you hold it?" Long Chen was a little worried.
In the desert, the sand is too soft, the speed of the snow will be reduced a lot, and the consumption will be more huge, which is not good for them.
"Ow"
"No, no, it should be no problem, absolutely no, it must be foolproof. We don't do anything we are not sure about."
Xiaoxue said that it should be possible, but Long Chen didn't dare to take the risk. Normally, he didn't eat or drink for three or five days, but it was nothing, but he ran wild in the desert for three or five days, and was still exposed to the sun, and there was no water to replenish. Dangerous, even the body of a beast can't stand it.
Long Chen thought for a while and returned to the jungle. He wanted to chop down a few big trees, dig out the hearts of the big trees, and make a few buckets.
However, Long Chen was very lucky. He actually saw a bamboo forest. He didn't know what species it was. It was extremely tall, some people had waists as thick, and each section was more than three feet long. This was a ready-made bucket.
Long Chen cut more than 40 knots in one breath, found a clear pond nearby, filled the bamboo with water, and put it into the space ring.
Fortunately, the space in the space ring is stationary, so don't worry about bumps on the road and spill them.
After preparing these, Long Chen felt a lot more at ease. With water, even if they didn't eat, they could last a long time.
Running towards the front, sure enough, the vegetation on the desert is getting less and less, and finally there is no grass, a piece of yellow sand.
The terrifying heat wave hit, and it was basically the same as the real flame temperature. In the face of such a heat wave, Dan Xiu, who was dealing with flames, could basically ignore it.
"Xiaoxue, are you okay?" Long Chen asked.
Xiaoxue didn't answer, shouted, and galloped away into the depths of the desert.
As expected by Long Chen, the speed of Xiaoxue in the desert was greatly restricted, only about 70% to 80% in the forest.
In addition, the soft sand made Xiaoxue consume more physical strength. Until it was dark, he only ran for more than 5,000 miles. This also includes the distance of part of the desert ground. Tomorrow will be all desert, absolutely not Go further than today.
The desert at night, cold to the bone, dripping into ice, is completely different from the daytime. What makes Long Chen most helpless is that in the desert, the spiritual energy he can absorb is very small.
"Ow"
In the middle of the night, Xiaoxue roared suddenly, awakening Long Chen. (To be continued)
