The young man in green shirt is Yang Zhen.
He was not in the faint spirit beast bag, but had been hiding in the bluestone space.
After several years of Liu Rou adjusting the five elements, the fire domain of the bluestone space can now allow him, an outsider, to stay for about a quarter of an hour.
This is why Youyou took the risk and ran out to lure Qin Mingyue away. Otherwise, this woman would not be able to find Yang Zhen and would definitely search back and forth at the scene. When the time comes, he will have to show up, and Xiao Qingshi will also be exposed.
Of course, it's not like he hasn't considered hiding in the spirit beast bag and letting Youyou take him to escape directly.
But this move is very risky. Youyou was not completely sure that she could escape Qin Mingyue's pursuit. On the other hand, she was a spiritual grass. Even if she was caught, Qin Mingyue would not kill her after knowing her role.
"Above Heaven"
The worst-case scenario is to be imprisoned and used as an elixir, providing one or two feather leaves on the body from time to time.
If this is the case, in the future, through Zixue, the sect can also come forward to negotiate with the other party and find a way to redeem Xiao Heicao. It will never be possible for the other party to catch them all in one fell swoop.
Furthermore, hiding in the spirit beast bag is not conducive to the recovery of Yang Zhen's injuries. Due to the severe trauma, the wound on his chest that was as big as a bowl had not yet healed, and a large area of blood-red granulation was growing, which looked very scary.
However, after Yiyi's full treatment, most of the injuries have healed, plus the last three traces of chaotic energy released. At this time, the boy was fine except for some weakness due to blood loss.
He and Youyou agreed on a meeting place, which was Qilin Mountain ten days later.
In addition, he also left a sound transmission stone and some paper kites to the girl. If we lose contact in Panxi Mountain, we can still keep in touch after leaving the small world.
With Youyou's ability, she can protect herself in Panshan Mountain, so after much thought, it is the best choice to let her distract the powerful enemy.
Of course, if the heaven-level earth spirit bead can be completely integrated with the bluestone space, he can stay in the earth domain of the space for a long enough time until Qin Mingyue has to leave. However, in order to save Zhao Yue'er, the Earth Lingzhu must remain intact.
…
At this time, the question Yang Zhen faced was, which direction should she go?
First, exclude the west, which is the direction Youyou escaped not long ago. Go straight in this direction and after taking a large arc, you will reach the swamp area in the southwest.
There, the little black grass will be as comfortable as a fish in water.
The remaining ones are the south and east, one leads directly to the central palace, and the other goes to the snowy area in the northeast.
Going south, a journey of 1,900 miles, running at full speed, it might only take five or six hours to reach the central palace and rescue Yue'er.
This idea is undoubtedly very attractive.
However, Qin Mingyue, who was at the peak of the Zifu, even if his speed was greatly reduced due to the air restriction, it would only take two hours for him to get there.
If he were the other party, after chasing Youyou for an hour, he would probably give up wisely.
Then retreat to the entrance of the palace, use that place as a dot, and search outside for an hour.
Of course it would be best if you can bump into Yang Zhen. If not, you can return in time and wait for the rabbit at the entrance of the underground palace.
As long as she stayed there, Yang Zhen would have to confront her sooner or later.
Therefore, he cannot go directly south now, otherwise he may be searched for traces. At that time, there was no little black grass to distract the enemy. Even if he still had some means, he would still be in a dangerous situation and his life or death could not be known.
After hesitation, Yang Zhen decided to go east and detour from the northeast.
Then find a way to find Zixue near the palace, one person will be short-term, and two people will be long-term, and then we will discuss a countermeasure.
He had already suffered the loss of impatience in the morning. At this time, he had to calm down.
Of course, there is a loophole in his doing this, which is that it may cause Zixue to bump into Qin Mingyue in advance. Without knowing it, he was killed by the other party by surprise.
However, Zixue is the biological sister of the ancestor of Yuanying after all, and Qin Mingyue has no old grudges with her. Even if she falls into the hands of this woman, her life will not be in danger.
Qin Mingyue is not a madman.
Moreover, the greater possibility is that Zixue's process of seizing the treasure may not be as smooth as her own, and she may still lag behind.
…
The plan was decided, Yang Zhen moved her legs and prepared to go.
Before leaving, he did not forget to return to the place where Qin Mingyue tortured him, and put away the storage rings, purple gold rods and other items left on the spot.
The situation was urgent and neither party had time to collect these things.
Then, he started running quickly, first running south for dozens of miles, then turning east, speeding faster and faster.
At his level, the traces left on the sand when running were so small that they were almost invisible. Even if there is a trace of mark, it will soon disappear without a trace as the sand dunes flow.
Even if Qin Mingyue returns here, it will be difficult to determine his direction through the footprints. Even if you make a judgment, you may be misled by him.
Speaking of which, this must be thanked for the restricted air space in Panxi Mountain. Otherwise, if the woman flew high in the sky and could see a thousand miles away, he would really have to hide underground.
Despite this, Yang Zhen was cautious all the way, and her consciousness continued to spread outward to sense whether anyone was prying.
It was noon at this time. After more than an hour, he had run more than 400 miles, but he still did not escape the scope of this sea of sand.
The sun was scorching, and there was no one in the field of vision. Only the rolling sand dunes stretched to the distant sky, like a dead world.
Suddenly, countless rustling and buzzing sounds sounded underfoot. The ground buried in yellow sand suddenly filled the sky with boiling water, and there was a lot of noise.
A two-headed golden-tailed scorpion that was more than four feet long emerged from the sand pit.
This is a very common monster in the sand sea. It has a single head at the first level, and a double head at the second level and above. This one should be in the middle of the second level.
The sand scorpion has a hard shell all over its body, and its hardness is comparable to that of a second-level high-grade defensive weapon. Not only is it difficult to break with a sword, but it is also difficult to damage it with ordinary spells.
What's even more terrifying is its tail hook, which contains highly toxic fire-attribute toxins that cannot be removed by clothing.
This demon also has a bad temper and is extremely aggressive.
This sand scorpion poses more of a threat to Yang Zhen than a monk in the late stages of foundation building.
In addition, Yiyi was awakened by Qingyan in advance, and the absorbed soul element had not yet been fully integrated. He was forced to use the strongest lightning strike, which consumed a lot of soul. At this time, he was still relatively weak and unable to function.
Yang Zhen couldn't help but cheer up, took out the purple gold stick, faced the Sand Scorpion, and prepared for it.
However, this monster, which was only thirty feet away and could approach with just one sprint, ignored him at all. Instead, it opened its eight sharp thighs and swaggered away towards the south.
Yang Zhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this is the best.
Immediately, he was horrified to discover that more and more monsters were emerging from the ground——
Maned lion sand lizards, moire rattlesnakes, yellow sac rabbits, black-necked gerbils, etc. are all kinds of monsters unique to this desert. First-order, second-order, and even ungraceful ones are springing up like mushrooms after a rain. , got out of the sand hole one after another, and then set foot on the road heading south.
As for human Yang Zhen, as long as they don't block the way, they don't pay attention at all.
Yang Zhen was stunned.
After arriving, looking around, there were moving monsters everywhere, some in groups, and some walking alone, as if the entire sea of sand was moving, which was spectacular.
The targets are all in the south.
Yang Zhen finally felt something was wrong.
south? Could it be the central palace?
What happened there?
…
At about the same moment, the girl in black came to the swamp.
Behind him, Qin Mingyue was still chasing after her.
Without hesitation, the little black grass escaped into the quagmire ahead and disappeared.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Qin Mingyue arrived here.
Facing the swamp, which was filled with ponds, mud, weeds, lakes, etc., she finally felt a little powerless.
She planned to give up and go to the central palace to block the door.
Just as he turned to leave, he saw countless bubbles rising out of the water, and monsters appeared one after another——
Black-bellied scaly snake, ghost-faced raccoon dog, long chariot rat, iron jerboa, iron-backed silver wolf...
In just a few breaths, there were no less than hundreds of monsters within the field of vision, walking in groups and meandering.
Target, northeast.
Qin Mingyue stood stunned on the spot.
Is this a beast tide?
