During half a year of seclusion, Shang Xia not only slightly improved his personal combat power, but also completed further improvements to the Five Elements Realm exercises, which further lowered the threshold for him to refine the essence of Yuan Gang, and also allowed him to create his own The fifth-level martial arts "Five Elements Seal Technique" has found the direct path to the magical power of martial arts.
Originally, everything seemed to be going smoothly for Shang Xia, but he never expected that Yu Duhe from the Department of World Affairs would come to his door in a hurry as soon as he came out of seclusion.
Hearing that there was a problem in Shiya Mountain, Shang Xia did not delay any longer, but set off directly to the depths of the Qianye Mountains.
The mutated swifts in Shiya Mountain are extremely important to Tongyou College. Not only does Tongyou College specially station warriors near Shiya Mountain to protect them, but many of the mutated swifts in Shiya Mountain also carry the college’s tokens and can enter and exit directly. Tongyou City and inside and outside the college.
However, these mutated swifts that often visit Tongyou City do not include Thunderbird himself.
For some unknown reason, Thunderbird has always been reluctant to enter Tongyou City. If he wants to see Shang Xia on weekdays, he would rather wait outside the city.
This time, he was notified directly through Yu Duhe, which shows that the matter must be extremely urgent.
However, Yu Duhe really does have some skills. He had always wanted to communicate with the mutant swift community but failed. The previous episode just brought him to meet the Thunderbird and asked him to assist the mutant swift community in finding and monitoring Feng Ye. The traces of the child actually allowed him to successfully establish a relationship with Thunderbird.
When Shang Xia rushed to the outskirts of the Qianba Mountains, the thunderbird that had been waiting here suddenly turned into a silver light and came towards them.
When one person and one bird met, they were immediately bathed in three rounds of five-element thunder light. Shang Xia then asked: "What happened to call me so urgently?"
The thunderbird suddenly let out a short and urgent cry, and at the same time flapped its wings, indicating that it could not wait.
Shang Xia said thoughtfully: "You mean Yan Ni'er, Yan Lei, their mother and son, how many are there?"
The thunderbird immediately fluttered its wings and circled rapidly around Shang Xia.
"Let's go and have a look!"
Shang Xia immediately took off into the sky, with the Thunderbird taking the lead, and one person and one bird quickly fled deep into the Qianye Mountains.
However, Shang Xia soon realized that the path guided by the thunderbird was not heading to Shiya Mountain, but flying farther and farther in the southwest until it crossed the Qianba Mountains, and soon the north-south vertical direction appeared in the field of vision. of the Taihang Mountains.
The Thunderbird's flying speed is extremely fast. Without activating its spiritual evil origin, its speed is no less than that of Shang Xia's full flight. Once the spiritual evil origin is activated and the lightning appears all over its body, even Shang Xia will be unable to catch up.
After a journey of thousands of miles, it didn't take long for one person and one bird to cross the Taihang Mountains diagonally again.
It was only then that Shang Xia suddenly realized Thunderbird's destination.
"Are you going to the place where I fought Feng Yezi before?"
Shang Xia asked in surprise.
The response given by the thunderbird was a high-pitched cry, and at the same time, the speed of flying forward accelerated by three points again, so Shang Xia had to instigate the original Gang Qi to fill the escape light again.
"In addition to space travel, perhaps we should also consider some more practical means of escape."
Such an idea appeared in Shang Xia's mind for no reason.
Shang Xia relied on the Five Elements Origin to open a void portal for space shuttle. Although the anti-interference ability of this method was greatly improved, the safety was greatly guaranteed, and at the same time, the specific positioning of space shuttle became more and more accurate.
But after all, this method has a very high entry barrier, and it is more suitable for Shang Xia itself, and it does not have wide applicability.
"However, if you want to create a new escape technique, you don't have to focus on the speed and distance of escape. Doing so will inevitably fall into the trap of the predecessors. You might as well add context to the escape method, so that it may be more difficult for people to detect."
Shang Xia had already begun to secretly think about where to start.
"To put it bluntly, the art of flying has only two purposes, one is to hurry, and the other is to escape, but the emphasis can be different. If it is just to escape, even if you fly fast enough, you can prevent anyone from getting on top. , but if you hide it secretly enough, you can also avoid being discovered by anyone."
Shang Xia divided his mind into two things. While chasing the Thunderbird in front of him, he was murmuring to himself about new escape methods.
"Perhaps we should look for ideas in the origin of the Five Elements! The origin of the Five Elements does not simply refer to the Five Elements Yuangang. The scope of the Five Elements Tao is extremely broad, including almost all things. If it is only limited to the five elements in the Yuangang of Heaven and Earth, That’s your own narrow-mindedness.”
Shang Xia suddenly thought of the living corpses he encountered when he first entered the two realms of war. Although that method was more like digging holes and traveling underground, it was not considered a superficial method. What about his earth escape technique?
For a moment, an idea flashed in Shang Xia's mind, as if he had caught something.
At this moment, the thunderbird in front suddenly let out a high-pitched cry, which also interrupted Shang Xia's thoughts. When he raised his head and looked into the distance, he saw a dark and windy land covering hundreds of miles. land.
That was the core area where he and Feng Yezi finally fought.
It's just that at this time, there are many fourth-level warriors inside and outside this area who are observing, sensing, and realizing something. Most of the outermost ones are warriors who have just advanced to the fourth level, and the deeper the warrior cultivators go into this area, The higher the level of convenience.
Many of these people were warriors from Youzhou and even Tongyou Academy. Shang Xia found many familiar faces among them, and even noticed that warriors from the Five Mountains Alliance were also here.
After scanning these people with his divine sense, Shang Xia's eyes were quickly attracted by the figures that shuttled back and forth from time to time in the depths of this windy and dark place. He soon discovered that most of these figures were mutant swifts, and some There are a few other mutated birds, but all of these mutated birds are at level three or above.
Shang Xia soon knew what these mutated birds were doing.
This area was formed due to the battle between Shang Xia and Feng Yezi. Under the gathering wind and cloud, a large amount of wind and cloud energy was accumulated, and the remaining five elements' origins were integrated into it, evolving various strange thunder lights.
These mutated birds, including mutated swifts, fly from all directions, either chasing the aura of wind and clouds, or chasing the light of thunder and lightning, all in order to follow the instinct of improving their own life level.
However, what makes Shang Xia feel a little puzzled is that more than half a year has passed since his battle with Feng Yezi, but this windy and dark land does not seem to be weakening at all, but is showing signs of expansion.
The confrontation between the fifth-level ancestors, although it caused some kind of long-term phenomenon of heaven and earth to exist for a long time because it directly triggered the origin of the world, but generally speaking, it still followed the law of gradually calming down and dying out as time goes by.
But now this stormy and gloomy land is doing the opposite. How can it not greatly increase Shang Xia's interest?
Shang Xia directly covered his whereabouts and quickly escaped into the core area of the sky without anyone noticing.
In the core area of this sky area, even fourth-level warriors dare not set foot in it easily, but now there are several third-level mutant swifts and a small thunderbird circling here.
The moment Shang Xia's figure appeared, several mutant swifts were immediately frightened by his energy. They fluttered their wings and fled away. Only three mutant swifts and a small thunderbird were left behind. They were not surprised but overjoyed, and quickly It flew around and circled around him.
These mutated swifts are exactly Yan Nier, who first followed Shang Xia, and her hatched children. The other little thunderbird is her and the thunderbird's child, and was named "Yan Lei" by Shang Xia. .
When Shang Xia saw these mutant swifts, he already understood the purpose of Thunderbird calling him here. Yan Nier, Yan Lei, and several other mutant swifts have now reached the end of the third-level exotic birds. , they found this place at the same time, hoping to use the wind, cloud, thunder and lightning in the sky to condense the source of evil, and use this to advance to the fourth-level exotic bird.
However, the advancement of beasts is more cruel than that of warriors. Once the advancement fails, there is often only one way to die. The advancement of mutant swifts requires more thunder and lightning, and even if they are not careful, their bodies will be wiped out.
Thunderbird came to Shang Xia because he wanted to use his power to help Yan Nier, Little Thunderbird, and several other mutated swifts attack the fourth-order exotic birds.
"You are in good hands!"
Shang Xia smiled helplessly, but he was also curious about the advancement process of these birds. Whether he could help or not still depended on the timing.
Following several high-pitched cries of thunderbirds, several mutant swifts that had been frightened away by Shang Xia's arrival also returned one after another, and then continued to hover in the dark clouds that flashed with thunder and lightning from time to time, absorbing the clouds. Overflowing lightning electricity.
What Shang Xia can do now is to maintain the stability of the thunder and lightning in this cloud layer to ensure that these exotic birds will not fail due to lack of energy during the advancement process.
But even so, not long after several mutated swifts began to attack the fourth level, one swift caused a thunderbolt in the air because of excessive devouring of thunder and lightning energy. Shang Xia tried his best to save it, but the thunder and lightning energy in that swift's body The power was already out of balance, and it exploded into a piece of flesh and blood flying feathers in the air.
Upon seeing this, the thunderbird immediately let out a cry, then fluttered its wings and fled deeper into the clouds.
Shang Xia seemed to have discovered something at this time, and suddenly looked surprised.
In just a moment, the thunderbird was seen bursting out from the dark clouds with various colors of lightning wrapped around its body. However, Shang Xia's eyes were caught by the thunderbird holding a sparkling crystal in its beak.
"Sure enough, it's Lei Yuan Jing?!"
Shang Xia couldn't help but whisper, and saw Thunderbird throw the crystal in his mouth to Yan Nier in the air.
Yan Nier swallowed the Thunder Source Crystal into her belly in one gulp, and an electric light suddenly appeared from her body, moving along the gaps between the feathers, but at the same time, it also attracted more thunder crystals in the dark clouds. The gas and electricity are attached.
Yan Nier suddenly let out a shrill scream, and every feather on her body almost exploded at this moment, as if the next moment would be torn apart by the lightning that kept traveling inside and outside her body.
At this time, Shang Xia, who already had some experience, quickly used the Five Elements Yuan Gang to absorb the excessive thunder and lightning power in the dark clouds to avoid causing the lightning to strike down again because Yan Nier had condensed too much thunder energy and light.
But even so, with Yan Nier gliding in mid-air as the center, a layer of fine electric light appeared and gradually condensed into a network.
At this moment, Yan Nier herself became like a source of thunder in the dark clouds, even reflecting the continuous rolling and rising of the surrounding dark clouds.
"Thunder Sha, this is the success of condensing Thunder Sha. Yan Nier has now stepped into the threshold of the fourth-level exotic bird.
Shang Xia suddenly felt a little funny when he looked at Yan Nier who looked like a bald chicken in mid-air with most of her feathers destroyed.
If it had been any other bird, with more than half of its feathers lost, it would have lost the strength to fly.
But now Yan Nier looks more and more agile. Not to mention that her feathers are just missing, she can still fly in the sky even if she is missing half of her wings.
After Yan Ni'er, the little thunderbird Yan Lei quickly absorbed a sufficient amount of thunder and lightning energy from the surrounding clouds, and successfully condensed it into a wisp of thunder in his body. He stepped into the fourth level very smoothly. He didn't even have to With the help of Lei Yuanjing, everything seemed to fall into place.
There are also two mutant swifts hatched by Yan Ni'er. They are still far away from reaching the fourth level. At this time, they have retreated far away and are hovering at low altitude dozens of miles away.
Except for the mutated swift that failed to advance at the beginning and had no body left, there were three other mutated swifts that reached the end of the third level and tried to attack the fourth level, but even then the Thunderbird once again grabbed two thunderbolts from the thunder clouds. The source crystal came out, and Shang Xia controlled the power of thunder and lightning in the clouds, but only one finally crossed the fourth level threshold.
But even so, this time, a total of six third-level birds that had reached the end of the road were led here by Thunderbird to attack the fourth-level bottleneck. In the end, three successfully advanced, but this has extraordinary implications for the growth of the entire mutant swift population. significance.
Three mutant birds in a row successfully advanced to the fourth level. In addition, the thunderbird, a strange bird that was almost at the end of the fourth level, four fourth-level strange birds shuttled and chased among the thunderclouds, letting out high-pitched sounds wantonly. The screams showed their own joy, but they didn't know how many scattered warriors who were cultivating in this area were frightened.
About half an hour later, after the three newly promoted fourth-level exotic birds finally finished venting their anger, under the urging of the thunderbirds, they returned towards the Shiya Mountain in the Qianba Mountains with the mutated swifts wandering around the periphery of the sky. , but it itself and Shang Xia still stay here.
As the second thunderbird in the mutant swift community, Yan Lei originally planned to stay after being successfully promoted to the fourth level, but unexpectedly, he was slapped in the air by the thunderbird, and then he obediently accompanied Yan Nier and Another fourth-level mutant swift that successfully advanced left.
After there were only dark clouds and wandering thunder and lightning around, the thunderbird finally landed on Shang Xia's shoulder again, tilted its head and pointed its wings towards the deepest part of the thunderous clouds.
That was the direction from which Thunderbird had found the Thunder Source Crystal.
