Chapter 202: Take a break before taking risks
As the long night came to an end, the sky gradually became clearer. As the sun slowly rose, the sea beasts slowly crawled back into the sea. Qingshi remembers that sea beasts such as seals and walruses on the earth like to bask in the sun, but the sea beasts here seem to like to bask in the stars and are afraid of the sun.
Qing Duan, Chen and the others sat cross-legged in front of the rising sun to practice their Qi, and within two hours they were all fully recovered. The three of them stood up and stretched their muscles one after another. They were once again in an environment containing spiritual energy, and everyone felt refreshed.
Chen Tianye sighed and said, "We encountered many ferocious spiritual beasts this day and night."
"Yes," Qingshi said, "and almost all of them are rare birds and monsters that have never been heard of or seen before."
"Well! Let me do the math," Duan Wutian said with his fingers pointed, "The black strange bird, the strange fish in the sea, the flame dragon, the viper python, the ghost bat, the magic wolf... and the later big bird and What’s the name of the sea beast?”
"Golden-billed Bird and Hai Lingbiao!" Chen Tianye replied, then shook his head and sighed again, "Looking back at the dangers I experienced this day and night, it's really..."
"What is it really?" Duan Wutian asked with eyes wide open, "It's too scary?"
"It's so exciting!" Chen Tianye raised his arms toward the sky and shouted loudly, "It's so damn exciting!"
Qingshi and Duan Wutian both laughed.
"By the way Amano," Qingshi said, "I wanted to ask you yesterday, how did you know so many monsters?"
"Same question!" Duan Wutian said anxiously.
"When I was a child, my favorite book at home was about overseas spiritual beasts," Chen Tianye said. "The book is called "The Strange Beasts of the Vast Sea", and I don't know where it came from. Most of the things mentioned in the book are They are spiritual beasts that do not exist in our mainland. I remember there are 169 species in total, all of which are spiritual beasts of level five or above. I particularly liked this book, so I actually wrote down all the spiritual beasts introduced in these books. Long Later, I always thought that most of these spiritual beasts were imagined by the author. Unexpectedly, decades later, I saw several of them in one day. This is really... "
"It's so exciting, so damn good!" The three of them laughed in unison.
For most of the next day, Qingshi and Duan Chen discussed the plan to go to the mysterious area under the main peak, and then relied on the rocks to set up a five-level defensive array with a set of Xuan-level array sticks, and asked Xiang An to A concealment formation was set up outside the defensive formation. Finally Qingshi entered the egg house and went to study something else.
Chen Tianye and Duan Wutian have been staying in the formation, paying attention to the situation outside according to Qingshi's instructions. The meaning of Qingshi is to find out the rules of the presence of spiritual beasts here during the day and night, and to use this place as an emergency evacuation base.
The next day the weather started to get terrible. The wind was howling, the snow waves were rolling into the sky, and sometimes it was raining heavily. The rain was so heavy that even the formations could not completely block the formation. Chen Tianye had no choice but to take out a small airship with a shed and place it on the sand among the rocks. Chen and Duan went there. Living in a small boat, fortunately, I got used to it after staying in the airship pod for more than a month.
Qingshi comes out from time to time to watch the storm and gather people to have a drink.
The bad weather continued. During the breaks between storms, Qingshi and others occasionally walked out of the magic circle to explore along the coast. In such weather, they did not encounter any particularly vicious spiritual beasts.
Duan and Chen spent most of their time practicing in the formation. As monks, it was common for them to retreat for a month or two, so they didn't feel bored at all. Qingshi, on the other hand, spends more time in the egg house doing his scientific research. As for Xiaopang, he doesn't like water, so he stays in the egg house and Xiang An is not allowed to go out.
The strong wind seemed to never end. Every day, many fish were thrown up by the huge waves more than ten feet high and dozens of feet away, and fell to death outside the pile of rocks.
In such weather, sea animals still occasionally climb up the coast to move around, and some unnamed seabirds often fly over the violent sea, seemingly playing with the huge waves. The fragility and tenacity of life are vividly reflected in the face of the violent nature.
The Qi airship was gone, so Qingshi naturally had to think of other ways. Taking advantage of the stormy weather in the past few days, he completed several other flying tools and exploration items. The space in the egg house was not small, but it could be tested and improved.
In the morning of this day, Qingshi completed the last preparation and took Xiang An out of the egg house and into the small boat where Duan and Chen were sheltered from the wind and rain. At that time, the weather was still bad. Chen Tianye and Duan Wutian had finished practicing the exercises for the day and were drinking and bragging in the boat.
"Hey, Lao Xiang is out too!" Chen Tianye said with a smile, "I heard that the egg house is several hundred feet wide, and it is sunny and sunny every day. If you don't stay inside and enjoy yourself, why are you running out?"
"That's right!" Duan Wutian said, "It's stormy outside, and we can only squeeze into this small space. How can you be as comfortable as you in the egg house? Go back quickly."
"You two are so stingy!" Xiang An said dissatisfied, "Qingshi has forgiven me, but you are still so stubborn. We are now considered brothers of life and death who have fought side by side, right?"
"You only shot a few birds," Duan Wutian said. "Later, when we killed the viper python and the ghost bat, you hid in the egg house and refused to come out."
"That's why Qingshi didn't let me come out!" Xiang An said aggrievedly, "I've always wanted to come out and fight together."
"Okay, okay!" Qingshi said, "Xiang An is right, I didn't let him come out. We will take risks together in the future, so don't worry about the past." As a leader, Qingshi naturally has to Pay attention to team unity.
In fact, Duan and Chen didn't have any major conflicts with Xiang An, they just didn't like him. After hearing what Qingshi said, they stopped trying to support him. Of course, it was only temporary.
"Brother Qi and Amano, please get ready. Wear armor, boots, and everything else," Qingshi said. "It's time for us to go exploring there." He pointed towards the main peak of the northwest mountain range.
"Go now?" Chen Tianye asked curiously, "Wait until the storm stops?"
"Why wait for the storm to stop?" Qingshi asked.
"Then why have we been waiting here for so many days?" Chen Tianye said.
"We are not staying here to wait for the weather to improve," Qingshi explained, "but because I want to prepare for the expedition and continue the voyage. We will go naturally when we are ready."
"That's it!" Chen Tianye said, "But it's stormy now, how can we get there?"
"Fly away!" Qingshi said with a smile, "The storm is just right! You don't want to go out, and I guess those monsters like ghost bats, gold-billed birds, etc. won't want to go out either."
"Yes!" Duan Wutian's eyes lit up and he patted his bald head.
"Yeah! It makes sense." Chen Tianye also understood, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."
After the four people emerged from the Xuan Formation, they immediately activated their flying armor and flew into the forest. Although there were huge waves on the sea, there was not much wind in the forest, and the heavy rain was filtered by the canopy and became much smaller.
The four of them flew through the forest more than two feet above the ground, not too fast. Qingshi and Xiang An were in front, and Chen Tianye and Duan Wutian were behind. Although it is daytime, the sky is very dark, and the forest is naturally even darker. Coupled with the violent storm, it is difficult to identify the direction. High-level monks generally identify the direction accurately, but in some special environments, it is not possible. For example, in such a dark and stormy forest.
From time to time, Qingshi took out a small disk to look at, and then corrected the direction. This was another invention of his - the pointing needle. It uses array techniques and aura fields to lock the direction. Aim at a target and lock it. Then no matter how you turn, the small needle on the disc will always point to the locked target.
The vast forest is thousands of miles in diameter, and even flying it took a full hour to reach the place where we turned after discovering the danger that day. From here to the mysterious place under the main peak, there is still about half the distance.
Qingshi raised his hand to ask everyone to stop, and then felt the dangerous atmosphere he felt that day. Yes, the direction has not changed.
Qingshi raised his right hand and took out an object from the storage container, which was suspended in the air. It was a spherical cage as tall as a person, made of black iron and fine steel. The cage is woven with eighteen warp threads and six weft threads. Each warp thread and weft thread is a three-inch thick hollow black iron stainless steel round tube. A circular driving spiritual device is installed on the top and bottom of the cage. The steel pipe is engraved with array patterns, and is inlaid with two array plates and a total of twelve dragon balls.
"Get in!"
Qingshi said as he got into the cage from the gap between the two steel pillars. Inside the cage, a round wooden board was installed at the bottom to facilitate standing, and his hands could grasp the steel pipe to maintain balance.
Xiang An had already seen this artifact and did not hesitate to get into the cage. Although Chen Tianye and Duan Wutian were curious, they also got in one after another. The cage was not big, and after Duan Wutian got in last, the four of them were almost squeezed together. Duan Wutian was a tall man, so he had to hunched his head and chest slightly after entering.
"Qingshi, can't you make this bird cage bigger?" Duan Wutian said dissatisfied.
"Let's make do with it, Brother Qi," Qingshi said with a smile. "It will affect your flight and reduce your defense. You stand in the middle, and the middle is higher."
Duan Wutian then pushed Xiang An against the wall of the cage and stood in the middle of the cage so that he could straighten his neck and back.
Xiang An dared not say anything in anger, but only glared at Duan Wutian. Duan Wutian pretended not to see it, but he was feeling proud in his heart.
When Qingshi saw everyone coming in, he lowered his head and fiddled with it for a while. The cage was gradually wrapped by a layer of energy wall film. At this time, the cage was no longer visible from the outside, but the rain hitting the cage wall outlined the A transparent spherical outline, but it is difficult to see in the dim and rainy forest.
Qingshi launched the spherical airship and began to fly forward, carefully avoiding tree trunks and vines, and shuttled through the forest quickly and silently. These two driving spiritual weapons were dismantled by Qingshi from an airship and used dragon balls as spiritual sources to drive them. As expected, the effect was very good, and it was not difficult to carry four people.
Two quarters of an hour later, the spherical airship moved forward for more than ten miles. Qingshi suddenly slowed down and hovered under a big tree. Xiang An asked quietly: "What's wrong?"
"Wolf!" Qingshi replied softly.
Sure enough, about twenty feet in front, a soaked bone-spiked demon wolf squatted blankly next to a big stone, and there was a dark cave under the stone. Obviously, this wolf was on guard near the wolf's den.
"Go around," Xiang An said.
"No," Chen Tianye leaned over and whispered, "There are some over there too." As he spoke, he pursed his lips to the right.
Qingshi looked to the right, and sure enough, a pair of shining wolf eyes could be vaguely seen dozens of feet away.
"Isn't there just one?" Duan Wutian said, "Kill it!"
His voice was thick, but even though it was lowered, it was louder. The dull wolf seemed to hear it. It pricked up its ears, stood up, and looked up here.
"Can I suffocate you to death if I don't speak?" Chen Tianye quickly covered Duan Wutian's mouth and cursed in a low voice, "Didn't you see such a big hole? There are dozens or hundreds of animals in there, and There are other wolf dens over there.”
"I'm still not fully prepared," Qingshi whispered. "I should have caught a few rabbits and other living animals to divert its attention."
"There are living creatures," Xiang An said. "There are some in the egg house. Fatty has some pets. You can ask Fatty to get two of them."
"Are there any living things in the egg house?" Qingshi asked curiously, "Why didn't I notice? Besides, Fatty used his blood and essence to get you and me in. Is he willing to waste his blood and blood on his pets?"
"Pets are not humans," Xiang An said. "You can bring them in just by spitting or peeing on them."
"Really?" Qingshi was delighted and said quickly, "What kind of pets does he have?"
"There were originally a lot of rabbits, deer, lambs, etc.," Xiang An said. "He got them all on Zhuolang Island. But..."
"But what?" Qingshi asked.
"But all these sheep, deer, etc. have been eaten by him now." Xiang An said.
"Damn! This foodie!" Qingshi scolded, "Then what is left now?"
"It seems that there are only fish," Xiang An said, "and by the way, there are turtles."
"Turtle?" Qingshi was a little crazy.
"What's the use of a turtle?" Chen Tianye said angrily, "Have you ever seen a wolf eating a turtle?"
Xiang An shrugged and said, "Just pretend I didn't say anything."
"Wait a minute," Qingshi remembered something and said, "I saw a big bear on the beach that day, caught a turtle, broke it into pieces and ate it. Maybe the beasts on the island would catch turtles and other sea beasts to eat. "
"That's a turtle, not a tortoise!" Chen Tianye said, "Besides, this place is hundreds of miles away from the sea. Can a turtle crawl here?"
"Hehe!" Qingshi rolled his eyes and smiled, "Look at that wolf's stupid look. It probably can't tell the difference between a tortoise and a tortoise, and it can't think of that much."
"That's right," Xiang An also laughed, "If it wasn't stupid, would it be sent out to stand guard in this weather?"
"Little Fatty!" Qingshi contacted Little Fatty, "Bring out two of your turtles."
"You can come in and catch it yourself," Xiaopang responded. "I don't want to get Maomao wet in the pool. Besides, I'm still sleeping."
"Lao Xiang, go in and catch them." Qingshi ordered, and then said to Fatty: "Thank you, Fatty. I'll get you some big turtles later."
"No, turtles and turtles don't taste good!"
Xiang An disappeared but came back after half a stick of incense. He really caught a big turtle in his hand.
...
With a pop, a big turtle fell into a pile of grass under the tree.
The stupid wolf had already crouched down, but now he stood up and looked alertly towards the grass. The turtle slowly crawled out and headed towards a small pool next to it.
The wolf's neck shook, and a bone spur shot out, accurately hitting the turtle's back, but was bounced away with a bang. The turtle was startled, but instead of retracting its limbs and head into its shell, it accelerated towards the pool. The stupid wolf was furious, rushed over and pressed the turtle's back shell, opened his mouth to bite, but the turtle's head and feet were retracted into the shell, making it unable to bite.
The silly wolf fought against the turtle, but he did not notice that a few feet above his head in the air, a round transparent sphere quietly crossed the warning line and flew deep into the dense forest.
