After defrauding Wang Xiuyuan of a sum of Yuanjing, Wen Qiao and Ning Yuzhou quickly left him behind and continued to practice in the mountains.
Now they have been in Cangwu Mountain for nearly two months.
After nearly two months of experience, the twenty hidden scale guards have undergone earth-shaking changes. Their cultivation bases have broken through to the Yuanwu realm, and their aura has become more sturdy. They can even resist the Yuanmai realm. The cultivator strikes.
Wen Qiao's cultivation base has also been promoted to the peak of the Yuanming Realm, and there are faint signs of breaking through again.
Worried that her cultivation would grow too fast and her mood would be unstable, Ning Yuzhou asked her to temporarily suppress her cultivation and concentrate for a while.
Wen Qiao was very obedient, she didn't force a breakthrough, and everything went according to fate.
In contrast, Ning Yuzhou still hasn't changed much, he is still at the Yuanyu realm, he has crossed a small realm, and now he is in the middle of the Yuanyu realm. Compared with a group of Yuanwu realm's hidden scale guards, he is still a Weak slag.
Ning Yuzhou didn't care, and continued to practice and refine alchemy step by step, without any signs of impatience.
On this day, Wen Qiao brought Wen Tutu and a little monkey to a cliff.
Standing on the edge of the cliff, looking down, she could see a spirit tree growing from a crack in the mountain. The whole cliff was shining brightly, but this spirit tree was particularly eye-catching. There was a bird's nest on the branch of the spirit tree. , the owner of the bird's nest is not here at this time.
"Is it here?" Wen Qiao asked.
The little spirit monkey climbed onto her shoulders, looked down, and chirped at her.
After getting an affirmative answer, Wen Qiao glanced down again, and said, "This golden-winged flame eagle often snatches your spirit fruit and even captures the little spirit monkey, so you want me to kill it?"
The little monkey chirped a few times and looked at her with watery eyes.
Wen Qiao groaned, "Okay, let's beat him up instead of killing him."
After making an appointment with the little monkey, Wen Qiao threw out the golden python whip. The stone golden long whip was wrapped around a raised rock on the edge of the cliff. She pulled the long whip and jumped down the cliff.
Little Spirit Monkey and Wen Tutu grabbed her shoulders to avoid being blown away by the wind.
Wen Qiao leaped down lightly, her slender body was like a feather, leaping in mid-air, calmly.
The golden long whip quickly became longer, Wen Qiao grabbed the long whip, and slid steadily along the cliff, and finally came to the spiritual tree on the cliff. Seeing that he was about to arrive, Wen Qiao jumped again, stepping on a slender branch of the spirit tree, which was bent into a string, Wen Qiao jumped forward with the strength of the rebound, and the person had landed steadily below in the bird's nest.
The bird's nest was very large, and a few hard golden feathers fell from it, which obviously belonged to the golden-winged flame sculpture.
Wen Qiao came to look for the Golden-winged Flame Eagle this time because it was also entrusted by the monkeys. It is said that the Golden-winged Flame Eagle often went to snatch their spiritual fruits, and occasionally even took away the little monkey as food when food was scarce. hateful. But such things happen often, monsters generally have their own territory, and unless they have to, they rarely cross the boundary to hunt. The monkeys know the ability of the Golden Winged Flame Eagle, and they don't want Wen Qiao to really kill it.
Secondly, Wen Qiao also wanted to find someone who could fight. After hearing about this Golden Winged Flame Eagle, she decided to come and fight with it.
The Golden Winged Flame Eagle was not there, so Wen Qiao walked around the spirit tree, and soon finished inspecting the environment around the bird's nest.
This spiritual tree growing between the cliffs is extraordinarily lush, with luxuriant branches and leaves, and there are bright red spiritual fruits hanging among the green leaves. Although it is not a high-grade spiritual fruit tree, it has a strong fruit fragrance and abundant spiritual energy, which is very attractive .
The little spirit monkey couldn't wait to pick a few spirit fruits, handed one to Wen Qiao and Wen Tutu, and stuffed one into his mouth while holding one.
Wen Qiao took the spirit fruit, and one person, one rabbit and one monkey tasted the taste of the spirit fruit first, and they all thought it was quite good.
After eating the spirit fruit, Wen Qiao found a place to hide around the spirit tree, took away her own breath, assimilated with the spirit tree, and waited for the hunting golden-winged flame sculpture to come back.
Wen Qiao waited for about two hours, and finally saw the golden-winged flame eagle that had returned from hunting.
A black shadow appeared in the sky, and a long cry came from afar, and it was known that the golden-winged flame eagle had returned.
Hearing the cry of the natural enemy, the hair of the little monkey blew up, and it didn't care to eat any more spiritual fruit, so it quickly hid behind Wen Qiao.
Wen Tutu was calm, took out a panacea from his cheek pouch, licked it calmly, and looked at the golden-winged flame eagle flying back to its nest while licking.
This golden-winged flame carving is a fifth-order monster, and its body feathers are golden maroon. Looking from a distance, it seems to have a metallic luster flowing. Its mouth, toes, and claws are pure gold. When its wings are opened, it is more than ten feet long. , casting a huge shadow in the sky, flying extremely fast, he is the overlord of the sky in this area.
The golden-winged flame sculpture landed on the spirit tree, and when its wings closed, a gust of wind blew up, and the leaves clustered together.
Wen Qiao, who was hiding aside, was almost blown away by the strong wind, and quickly grabbed the trunk of the spirit tree beside her, staring at the golden-winged flame eagle quietly.
The Golden-winged Flame Eagle didn't realize that there was an intruder hiding near its lair. It had just finished eating and drinking, and was lazily combing its feathers with its mouth, feeling very comfortable.
Wen Qiao quietly approached the Golden Winged Flame Eagle.
When it was still a few feet away from the Golden Winged Flame Eagle, the Golden Winged Flame Eagle still didn't notice the intruder, and carefully combed its feathers. Wen Qiao saw the timing right, rushed towards it, hung her whole body on the Golden-winged Flame Eagle's back, raised her white and tender fist, and punched the Golden-winged Flame Eagle's back hard.
"噍—"
A shrill cry sounded, and the golden-winged flame eagle was smashed by the soft and domineering fist, so that the whole eagle fell to the nest. It struggled violently, spreading its wings, trying to throw away the sneak attacking guy from behind.
However, at this time, not only was a powerful human being hung on its back, strangling its neck tightly, and beating it with punches, there was also a little rabbit squatting on its head, lighting up Its rabbit paws began to cut the bird feathers.
Hair shaving or something is Wentutu's favorite.
It's obviously a rabbit, so it should like digging holes, but it has many habits that don't match rabbits.
The little monkey hid aside and shivered. After shaking for a while, he found that the Golden-winged Flame Eagle was being held down and beaten by Wen Qiao and Wen Tutu together. No matter how much he shook them, he couldn't get rid of them. The whole monkey was surprised and stared round The big watery eyes looked at one person and one rabbit abused the eagle.
Feathers flew across, and the beautiful golden-winged flame eagle soon turned into a bald eagle.
The shrill cry lasted for a while before it stopped. The Golden Winged Flame Eagle spread its wings and lay down in the bird's nest, looking unlovable, and at the same time expressed its surrender to Wen Qiao.
Let it be what it should be.
At this moment, the mood of the Golden Winged Flame Eagle was in sync with that of the white-bellied tarantula who was beaten by Wen Qiao back then.
Wen Qiao jumped down from behind it, picked up the blood-stained feathers, and picked out the beautiful ones.
These feathers are good refining materials and can be given to her husband.
The little spirit monkey jumped out and happily helped her pick up the feathers that had fallen from the golden-winged flame eagle.
After finishing all this, Wen Qiao went to pick some mature spiritual fruits from the spiritual tree, then threw out the golden python whip, clung to the stones between the cliffs, and quickly jumped up, leaving the lair of the golden-winged flame carving.
Back on the cliff, Wen Qiao wrapped the stone golden python's whip back around her waist, stroked the messy clothes on her body, and left the cliff, preparing to go back to the valley.
On the way back, when Wen Qiao passed a stalagmite forest, she suddenly saw a woman in pink running out of the stalagmite forest in embarrassment. There seemed to be something shaking among the stalagmites behind her, and she shuttled among the stalagmites.
Seeing Wen Qiao, the woman in pink was overjoyed, and immediately threw the thing in her hand at Wen Qiao, and shouted: "This fellow Taoist, please help me."
Wen Qiao threw out the golden python whip without hesitation, threw back the thing thrown by the woman in pink, and quickly backed away.
The thing hit the woman in pink directly on the face, the juice splashed everywhere, and a piece of stone-like liquid quickly condensed on her face, forming a strong contrast with the surrounding white and tender skin, which was quite strange.
"Chirp." The little monkey called out.
Wen Qiao's expression moved slightly, and she suddenly realized that what the woman in pink threw was stalagmite milk, an excellent alchemy material. However, this stalagmite milk is very rare. It takes ten years to condense one drop, and only one hundred years. Moreover, there are a group of stalagmite rats guarding the stalagmite milk. There are thousands of them every time they appear, and it is very scary to provoke them.
Sure enough, Wen Qiao soon saw the group of stalagmite rats chasing after her.
The woman in pink glared at Wen Qiao resentfully, and ran towards her with the thought that if you refused to help, it would be bad luck for you.
Wen Qiao didn't pay attention to her, turned around and ran, and with the help of the spirit monkey, he took a small path and shook off the woman in pink behind him in a few strokes.
When the woman in pink found out that she had escaped, she was so angry that her eyes were tearing apart, but the stalagmite rats behind her became violent when they smelled the stalagmite milk on her body, and they chased after her even more.
A stalagmite jumped up from the bodies of its companions, and threw itself on the back of the woman in pink, tore her clothes abruptly, and gnawed off a piece of flesh from her shoulder.
"ah-"
The woman in pink screamed.
She was sweating coldly from the pain, and almost fell to the ground, but she didn't dare to stop. When she stopped, tens of thousands of stalagmite rats rushed over, and each of them grabbed a piece of meat, which was enough to bite her to death.
The woman in pink quickly stuffed the elixir into her mouth, activated the talisman, and threw it behind her.
The magic talisman exploded, killing many stalagmite rats, but more stalagmite rats rushed towards them one by one because of the bloody smell stimulated by the death of their companions.
After a while, the back of the woman in pink was dripping with blood, and an unknown number of pieces of flesh had been taken from her mouth, revealing a bone-deep injury.
Fortunately, when the woman in pink was about to lose her hold on, several male cultivators appeared.
The male cultivators quickly stepped forward to encircle and suppress the group of stalagmite rats. After a while, they finally wiped out all the frenzied stalagmite rats. The corpses were spread all over the floor, and the smell of blood pervaded the surrounding area.
A male cultivator helped the injured woman in pink, "Junior Sister Mu!"
The woman in pink looked at the man who was holding her with tears in her eyes, and cried out aggrievedly: "Brother, I hurt so much..."
Mu Ziming looked at the junior sister who was breathing weakly in her arms, and quickly fed her a few healing elixirs, and found that there was a layer of stalagmite emulsion on her face, and frowned, "How did this happen? Junior sister, where is the stalagmite milk? "
After taking the elixir, Mu Shan's complexion improved a lot, and she said angrily, "Brother, it's all that little bitch..."
According to the plan for picking stalagmite milk this time, they will lure the group of stalagmite milk away, let Mu Shan secretly take them away, and then meet outside the stalagmite forest. The plan was good, but when Mu Shan ran away, another group of stalagmite rats came chasing her. They finally got rid of the stalagmite rats and found Mu Shan, but they didn't expect the stalagmite milk to be smashed.
According to Mu Shan's plan, the stalagmite rat was chasing after her, and she escaped in a panic. When she saw a female cultivator passing by outside the stalagmite forest, she wanted to bring disaster to the east. Then she found her senior brother and went to snatch the stalagmite milk back together.
As for whether the nun will be killed by the stalagmite rat, what does it matter to her
After listening to Mu Shan's narration, Mu Ziming narrowed his shrewd eyes slightly.
Mu Shan said angrily: "Brother, you must find that little bitch and avenge me."
Mu Ziming's face was a bit ugly, wasting all his efforts, and missing stalagmite milk, no one was in a good mood, but he still comforted him: "It's natural, then the female cultivator should also come to Cangwu Mountain to experience, if you encounter Seeing her, I will avenge my junior sister."
—
When Wen Qiao returned to the spirit monkey's territory, he saw Ning Yuzhou sitting under the spirit monkey tree making alchemy.
Seeing her come back, he showed a soft smile, and quickly collected the pill, but the fragrance of the pill was trapped in the restraint, and did not disperse.
"Auntie is back, is there any injury?"
"No, it's pretty good."
As Wen Qiao spoke, she sat beside him, took a sip of the spirit wine sent by the little spirit monkey, and narrowed her eyes in enjoyment.
Then, she told him in detail how to ambush the Golden Winged Flame Eagle, how to tell Wen Tutu how to beat him up, and by the way, she mentioned the woman in pink she met when passing by the stalagmite forest, and what she did. thing.
"She obviously wants to bring disaster to the east, but I'm not as good as she wants." When she said this, Wen Qiao had a pretty face coldly.
Although she is simple and has little experience in getting along with people, she has learned many dark and unfair things in the cultivation world under Ning Yuzhou's precepts and deeds these days, so when she met the woman in pink, she became vigilant and didn't worry about it. Let her succeed.
Ning Yuzhou narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a while, and said, "We've been here for a long time, it's time to leave."
"Leave?"
Wen Qiao thought about it, but didn't object.
After deciding to leave Cangwu Mountain, Wen Qiao said goodbye to the spirit monkey and the white-bellied tarantula. They were leaving, and they didn't have to look for spirit grass in the future.
Hearing this news, the spirit monkeys chirped and were very sad.
The white-bellied tarantula moved its long legs, and resolutely decided to grab another high-level spirit grass and exchange it for more green spirit pills.
Compared with the white-bellied tarantula's careful planning, the spirit monkeys are much more innocent, and knowing that they don't know when they will see each other again, they gave all the spirit wine they brewed to Wen Qiao, and the old monkey king jumped up and down as he watched. Chirping and cursing non-stop, but not daring to stop, when Wen Qiao distributed the elixir, he secretly gave Wen Qiao the Shuiyun fruit that he was reluctant to eat.
After accepting the spirit wine from the spirit monkeys and the Ganoderma lucidum that the white-bellied tarantula snatched back, Wen Qiao gave them Bilingual Pill in exchange for the value of the spirit grass, and finally said goodbye to the group of monsters.
Then, they left the small valley and went to Cangwu Mountain.
As the saying goes, going up a mountain is easy and going down a mountain is hard.
In Cangwu Mountain, the difficulty of going down the mountain refers to the monsters encountered along the way. When passing by their territory, it's okay if they don't encounter them head-on.
For Wen Qiao, if he dares to block the way, he should face up and see who can beat him!
Without any action from the hidden scale guards, Wen Qiao beat up the monsters blocking the way and quickly gave way, not daring to stop them again.
They went down the mountain smoothly.
