One-foot-long pickled black pepper shrimps, jade-fat bamboo shoots as thin as cicada wings, golden and oily green roe deer meat, crispy Poria nine-treasure pancake, and a pot of bubbling black-bone chicken with phoenix tail The soup, served on the table, is full of color, aroma and aroma, and even the air is filled with an alluring fragrance.
"Eat." Chen Xi took a sip of wine and smiled at Mu Kui.
"No, it doesn't matter if I don't eat." Mu Kui said quickly, looking embarrassed. It was his first time to cook, but he mistook salt for cooking fat. It felt so embarrassing.
"Have a taste. Although we cultivators have long been able to abstain from food, eating some delicacies is also a kind of enjoyment." Chen Xi handed over a pair of chopsticks and could not refuse.
"Thank you, Master." Mu Kui couldn't refuse, picked up the bowls and chopsticks, and started to eat. He only tasted a bite of bamboo shoots as white as snow, and suddenly felt a wonderful and indescribable comfort in his mouth and stomach. I couldn't help but pick up another piece and eat it. Then he got out of hand and started gobbling it up, no longer restrained at all.
"Ouch!" Bai Kui raised his head from the plate and glared dissatisfied at Mukui, who was competing for food with him. Seeing that this guy was faster than him, he quickly buried his head in the plate again and started swallowing.
Chen Xi smiled slightly, then stood up and returned to the cabin to start practicing meditation. There was only a year and a half left before the Stars Conference. He must seize the time to practice and strive to reach the golden elixir realm within this time, otherwise he might not even be qualified to participate in the Stars Conference.
Half a month passed in a flash.
On this day, Chen Xi woke up from meditating and vaguely felt that there was a strange wind surging in the Xuanmen Gate in the center of the great lake in his dantian. It was as thin as a hair. Not noticeable.
"It's almost here. The Wind and Fire Catastrophe is brewing. Maybe it won't be long before the opportunity comes for me to advance to the Golden Core Realm!" A smile appeared on Chen Xi's lips. He stood up, stretched his muscles and bones, and arrived. bow.
"In the distance, there should be Wandu Mountain. Wandu Mountain stretches for tens of thousands of miles. Behind it is Luoxia River, the boundary river between Southern Xinjiang and the Central Plains..." Chen Xi took out a jade slip map and looked down from a high position. , and looked at it against the map.
After a long time, he put away the map and told Mukui: "When we reach the Ten Thousand Poison Mountains, we will cross over from the ground."
Mu Kui solemnly accepted the order. During the half month that Chen Xi was practicing in seclusion, he had been guarding the surroundings and flying in the sky. It was also full of dangers, and various natural and man-made disasters were possible. If you choose to travel by land, although it takes a bit longer, it is still much safer in comparison.
The Ten Thousand Poison Mountains stretch for thousands of miles, and are filled with a thick layer of poisonous mist and miasma all year round. All kinds of poisonous insects are entrenched in it, among which the five most powerful poisons are snakes, scorpions, spiders, centipedes, and toads. The following monks who entered it were all attacked by various poisons and died of poisonous poisons. Even monks in the Golden Core Realm need to bring some antidote holy medicine before they dare to set foot in the Ten Thousand Poisons Mountains.
Three hours later, Chen Xi put away the treasure ship, flew to the ground, and took Mukui towards the Ten Thousand Poison Mountains.
Uh-huh!
With the light of the sword, a thousand-legged centipede burst out from the crack in the rock and was cut into two pieces. The body was as thick as a bucket, and its thousands of claws were dark and glowing with a blue luster. Its blood flowed on the ground, and the vegetation Suddenly withered and lifeless, the soil on the ground was dyed as black as ink by the poison, exuding wisps of stench.
"Ten Thousand Poisons Mountain deserves to be called Ten Thousand Poisons. Along the way, we have encountered at least hundreds of poisons, and all of them are not weaker than Huang Ting Realm monks, and they are poisonous. Most monks really don't dare to Step into it.”
Chen Xi put away his sword and became wary in his heart. The reason why he chose to cross the Ten Thousand Poison Mountains was to hone his martial arts skills. The poisons here are dangerous and deceitful, and their strength is not weak. For him, there is no doubt that It is a natural martial arts training ground, and he will not miss it.
Lifting his steps, Chen Xi walked towards the depths of the mountain range.
Mu Kui followed him step by step, looking at Chen Xi's back, he was filled with admiration. Originally, he thought that his cultivation level was one step ahead of Chen Xi's, and he could help Chen Xi more, but as he saw what Chen Xi was doing After displaying his terrifying strength, he finally realized that even if he had advanced to the golden elixir realm, he was still far from Chen Xi's opponent.
"No, I have to seize the time to improve my cultivation. Once my cultivation is left far behind by my master, I'm afraid I will become a burden again..." Mu Kui clenched his fists secretly, and his fighting spirit was high.
In a canyon.
This canyon is not big, but it is very different from the surrounding lush peaks. There is no grass growing, and there are bare gravels everywhere. Only in the center of the canyon, there is a small pond about ten feet in size. In the pond blooms a dark tree. The flowers, leaves and branches of the ink lotus are extremely dark, with traces of blood-colored mist lingering all over the body, making it look extremely coquettish.
At this time, a group of people gathered around the pond, or were trapped there, because opposite them, there was a colorful spider the size of a millstone.
What is shocking is that this colorful spider has an extremely beautiful face, but its body is bloated, colorful, and full of disgusting tumors. Its eight big feet are as sharp as knives. With its cold luster, when viewed from a distance, this colorful spider looks extremely weird and evil, making people feel numb.
And around its huge body, there is a layer of poisonous mist that is like smoke, and the beauty is full of extreme danger.
"Miss, leave quickly before it's too late!"
"This colorful Bixia spider has at least a thousand years of Taoism. It is only one step away from transforming into a human form. However, its strength is comparable to that of a Golden Core monk. We are far from a match. Miss, you'd better leave quickly!"
"Let's go! Let's stop it!"
This group of people was obviously headed by the woman in the green skirt in the center. Faced with terrifying poisons such as the Colorful Bixia Spider, the dozen or so men with strong bodies and powerful temperaments were all anxious at the moment and talking in a hurry.
"If I don't leave, we will die together. How can I abandon you and ignore you?" The woman in the green skirt is also extremely beautiful, but her delicate face is already pale. She shook her head firmly and said: "Not to mention this time It was me who asked to come to Ten Thousand Poison Mountains to look for the Black Jade Blood Lotus, and I can’t leave.”
Hearing this, a tall middle-aged man next to him frowned and said anxiously: "Miss, if you don't leave, how can we face the enemy with peace of mind? You can't help if you stay here, so we should leave quickly!"
"Yes, miss, you take that black jade blood lotus and leave quickly. With it, you can exchange it for ambergris from Tianbao Tower and save the life of the young patriarch of the Feng family. That's it..."
"Stop talking!" the woman in the green skirt gritted her teeth and interrupted: "It's better to die here than to leave you and run away. Now... I only have you relatives left."
"Miss!" The tall middle-aged man's face was full of pain. He had watched the girl grow up since she was a child. He had a deep relationship, like a father and daughter. How could he bear to watch her die
Whoosh!
At this moment, the Colorful Bixia Spider launched an attack. Its eight big feet flew like blades falling from the sky. It crushed the body of a guard in an instant, then opened its mouth and spit out a ball of spider silk, wrapping up the broken corpse. Flesh and blood were swallowed into the belly.
"Lao Jiu!" Seeing his old brother being killed and eaten instantly, the tall middle-aged man roared with his eyes about to burst, and the giant ax in his hand raised a ball of light and slashed out.
when! when!
The power of the giant ax struck the poisonous creature's back, but it was like striking an extremely hard metal. A series of sparks were thrown, but it did not hurt it at all. Instead, it took advantage of this opportunity to snatch away three more guards. life.
"Huh? There is a battle happening there. The powerful Seven-Colored Blue Cloud Spider is at least equivalent to the power of a mid-Jindan monk!" A figure appeared thousands of feet away in the canyon, and he saw this scene instantly.
This person was naturally Chen Xi. He traveled through the Ten Thousand Poison Mountains for three full days and encountered many powerful poisons along the way, but this was the first time he saw such a powerful spider poison.
"Jie! Jie!" At this time, the colorful green flame spider let out a sharp scream, and its eight sharp blade-like long legs flew again, with a faint hint of swordsmanship, raging fiercely, and splashing like waves. Wherever it passed, the void air current was torn into strips, making a sharp sonic boom sound.
In just the blink of an eye, three guards were disemboweled again and became the delicacies of this poisonous creature.
"Old Six! Old Seven! Old Eleven!" The tall middle-aged man roared angrily, as if he was crazy. However, what frightened him even more was that the poisonous thing actually went towards the young lady.
No longer caring about his own safety, he swung the giant ax and stood in front of the girl in the green skirt, intending to cut off the long-legged blade that was coming towards her.
boom!
To his despair, his giant ax was cut off by the poisonous creature's long legs, leaving a bloody scar on his chest and flying backwards.
"Uncle Luo!" The girl in the green skirt exclaimed, with a look of determination on her snow-white face, and she held her sword to kill the Colorful Bixia Spider.
"Jie! Jie!"
However, her strength was not even half that of the tall middle-aged man. In the eyes of that poisonous creature, she was not threatening at all. Instead, she was like a delicious meal brought to her lips. She couldn't help but let out a sharp and proud neigh, and waved a wave. Only long legs, sweeping out.
brush!
Seeing that the girl in the green skirt was about to be cut in half, a dazzling cold light suddenly appeared. It seemed like a stream of light appeared out of thin air, with unparalleled sharpness, directly piercing the delicate cheeks of the Colorful Bixia Spider.
Click! Click!
The terrifying sword energy penetrated the sword body and rushed through the poisonous object, immediately cutting its extremely hard body into countless pieces and falling to the ground.
The girl in the green skirt escaped death and quickly retreated, looking at the colorful Bixia Spider that had turned into pieces on the ground in horror, as if she couldn't believe that she was alive.
"Miss, are you okay?" The tall, middle-aged man was lying on the ground, covering his wound with his hand, but he couldn't stop the blood from flowing across it. The blood turned purple-black. It was obvious that the blow just now had poisoned him.
Biqun shook her head blankly, woke up immediately, ran to the tall middle-aged man, and said excitedly: "Uncle Luo, that poisonous thing is dead, dead."
"Miss, it was that senior who saved us. Go and thank that senior." The tall middle-aged man's lips were purple, but he forced himself to stand up and looked into the distance.
The girl in the green skirt was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyes and saw a tall and thin young man walking towards her. He had a handsome appearance and a distinguished temperament. He was definitely not the "senior" that he had expected, but more like a senior. I'm almost the same age.
"Thank you, senior, for saving your life." The girl in the green skirt bowed and said. Although she was surprised by Chen Xi's youth, she also knew that there were too many young and strong people in this world, and some were not even weaker than some older generation monks.
"It's just a little effort." With his clothes fluttering, Chen Xi arrived in front of the pond in an instant. He glanced around and found that only the girl and the tall middle-aged man were still alive.
"Senior, what did you say? If it weren't for you, I and the young lady would have died on the spot." The tall, middle-aged man gritted his teeth and stood up, panting and cupping his hands.
"You've been poisoned. You'd better lie down and do your exercises to heal your injuries. Otherwise, your life will be in danger. I have a Qingqing treasure pill here for detoxification. Just take it." Chen Xi shook his head and handed a pill to the tall and middle-aged man. Medicine, after doing all this, he glanced inadvertently and immediately saw a lotus flower as black as ink blooming in the pond in front of him, bathed in a trace of blood mist, looking extremely coquettish.
