The temperature on the mountain peak is slightly lower than that at the bottom of the mountain. The peak is filled with fog and the visibility has dropped a lot. Some heat-resistant trees and flowers are vaguely visible, sparsely distributed in the corners.
The terrain here is quite open, covering several miles in radius.
"That's the hot spring!" Sima Linger shouted and ran forward.
Under the mist in the open area of the mountain peak, there is a small lake of several acres in size. The lake is white and it is the hot spring at the top of the mountain and the source of all the mist.
"This is simply Tianchi!" Zhou Yang couldn't help but admire as he approached. He had lived in Tuyan City since he was a child. The Daqing Mountain there did not have such wonderful scenery, and he felt relaxed and happy for a while.
"I want to take a bath in the hot spring, you all go away." Sima Ling'er said to everyone with a serious face.
"Miss, please wait a moment. I'll go check it out first." After saying that, Captain Pu walked straight towards the hot spring.
Not long after, Pu Zheng returned and said, "Miss, it's all right."
Sima Linger nodded, opened her arms and ran towards the hot spring.
"I'll wait fifty feet away." Pu Zheng ordered.
"yes"
Zhou Yang was also on guard a little further away, but the scene of Ling'er being drunk that day suddenly appeared in his mind. At this time, he thought of her appearance in the hot spring, which must have made people's blood boil even more than it did then.
He felt that his saliva was about to drool, and he subconsciously wiped it with his sleeve before trying hard to erase the scene from his mind.
Shaking his head, he glanced around the peak, looking for rock grass and colorless ores. Both materials should be common in the mountains.
But after a moment, Zhou Yang was disappointed. There was no shadow of the grass in the rock at the top of the mountain.
However, he saw some colorless ore, distributed under the black rocks, there were seven or eight pieces, small, colorless and transparent. Zhou Yang carefully pried it off with his long sword and put it in his arms.
This colorless mineral is used in very small amounts in Huang Ling Dan, and just one piece is enough to refine hundreds of Huang Ling Dan.
After taking the ore, Zhou Yang still looked around without giving up, but still couldn't see any grass in the rock.
There are exposed black rocks all around. There are some wild grass growing in the rock cracks, but the color is red, while the grass in the rock is yellow-green. Although these weeds are similar in shape to rock grass, they are obviously not.
"Although it is not the grass in the rock, it also grows in rocks. It should be of the same origin as the grass in the rock. It may be of some use." After Zhou Yang thought to himself, he picked some and put them in his arms.
This red weed mainly grows on the sunny side, and the color becomes darker as you go downwards. Zhou Yang turned to the south slope and looked down from the peak. On the protruding black rocks halfway up the mountain, there were actually fiery red weeds growing, which were much darker than those on the top of the peak.
With the idea of better than nothing, Zhou Yang picked some red weeds on the downhill slope. Now we have bell red, yellow rock grass, mountain boar blood and colorless ore. Everything is ready, all we need is rock grass.
After gathering weeds, Zhou Yang leaned on a black rock and thought about something.
The rock was actually warm and comfortable, and he fell asleep after a while.
Everyone was on alert around them, but Sima Ling'er in the hot spring was already humming a ditty comfortably. Zhou Yang, who was drowsy after listening to it, felt refreshed and felt numb in his heart. He couldn't help but think of the picture of a beautiful woman taking a bath.
Not long after, the sound of the flute came from the hot spring. The sound of the flute was melodious and melodious. It was very different from the song of missing my mother that day. Everyone who listened was intoxicated.
"Who?" Suddenly, Captain Pu's stern voice came from not far away.
Zhou Yang suddenly jumped up and quickly stood up and drew out his long sword. Sima Ling'er in the hot spring was also alarmed. She hurriedly put on her clothes and left the hot spring, running towards Captain Pu and the others.
"Haha, Captain Pu, don't make a fuss. Let's take a dip in the hot springs to relieve our fatigue." A strange voice came from halfway up the mountain.
Zhou Yang looked down and saw a group of blue-armored guards heading straight towards the mountain peak. There seemed to be more than 20 people in total. The leader was a fair-skinned young man, twenty-four or five years old, of medium build, holding a folding fan, looking towards the peak with a smile.
It feels weird to hold a fan during this season.
"Mr. Ling, my lady is up there, please come back another day!" Pu Zheng said with a solemn expression.
"Hehe, Captain Pu, this hot spring does not belong to your Xuanfu Sect. If you don't let me go, I will leave!" Mr. Ling chuckled.
"Men and women are not close to each other. My young lady is here. It's not convenient for the young master!" Captain Pu said in a serious tone.
"Of course when you use the hot spring, it's on a first-come, first-served basis. Miss Ling'er can take a bath first, but you have to do it quickly!" Mr. Ling said jokingly.
"Master Ling, please be more respectful. It's better not to harm the harmony between you and I." Captain Pu said coldly.
"Hmph! If I take a bath in the hot spring, it will hurt the harmony between the two factions. What a joke. I think you are the ones making trouble unreasonably." Ling Yunzi's face suddenly turned cold and he said sternly.
"Ling Fantong, you are not a slave, but why are you so mean! If we don't come, you won't come either. Why are you always following us? Do you want to be our slave too?" I don't know when Sima Ling'er stood up. Looking down at Mr. Ling on the mountain peak.
"Hey, Miss Ling'er has finished washing so quickly! I'm not in a hurry, you can continue, continue. Of course, if you don't mind, we can still go together!" Mr. Ling looked at Sima Ling'er with a squinting look. He smiled lewdly.
"Presumptuous! Ling Chengtong, you have gone too far!" Captain Pu said angrily,
"Ling Fantong, get out of here and go back and wash it off with your mother!" Sima Ling'er was also annoyed, and the little girl was even more unforgiving.
"Stinky girl, you are so shameless. Your elder is gone and you still dare to be so arrogant. Today I will teach you a lesson for your father!" Ling Chengtong had never been scolded like this before. He couldn't help but be furious. With a wave of his hand, several green-armored guards came to him. They all rushed upward.
"They came well prepared, and their numbers are overwhelming. Today we have no choice but to risk our lives and protect the young lady to the death!" Pu Zheng ordered through gritted teeth.
"Protect Miss!" All the guards showed off their weapons and magic weapons.
Zhou Yang also stood in front of Sima Ling'er with a long sword in his hand, and he was also very angry. He secretly thought to himself that Ling Fantong actually dared to tease Ling'er in front of her. She was the daughter of the Xuanfu Sect Master. It was really embarrassing.
"No, just now Captain Pu mentioned the relationship between the two sects. One sect is the Xuanfu Sect, but what about the other sect? Is it someone from the Three Saints Sect? That should be the case. The leader of the Three Saints is named Ling Jialie. Isn't this Ling Fantong the son of Ling Jialie? "Zhou Yang's mind was spinning, and he couldn't help but shudder after thinking about it.
Judging from the situation, Ling Fantong came here deliberately to cause trouble, and he will definitely not be nice today!
At this time, several Qingjia guards were about to rush to the mountain peak.
"Ling Chengtong, do you really want to do this?" Pu Zheng squeezed out a few words through his teeth.
"Everyone who knows the truth, get out of here!" Ling Chengtong said disdainfully.
"Fire Spirit Talisman!" Pu Zheng said no more and ordered decisively. Now that we've broken up, what are we waiting for?
After hearing the words, all the guards no longer hesitated, and they all fired the intermediate fire talismans. For a moment, the fire shot into the sky, and there were continuous explosions. Countless flames trapped the first four green armor guards who rushed forward.
Those people used their magic shields to resist, and the fire crackled on the surface of the magic shield.
However, two more waves of fire talismans were fired, and the shield could no longer withstand it and exploded into pieces. Two green-armored guards were hit by the fire and rolled down the hillside screaming.
"Sharp Blade Talisman!" Before the other three people could retreat, several more Sharp Blade Talismans were quickly fired. The shield in the hands of the green-armored guards had exploded, and there was no time to use other shields. Countless sharp blades hit their bodies instantly. After screaming, the three corpses fell down the mountain.
Zhou Yang was secretly shocked. Captain Pu commanded well and all the guards cooperated tacitly. They severely damaged the powerful enemy as soon as the battle started.
"Damn it, don't use the magic talisman if you can!" Ling Chengtong shouted angrily, and then waved his hand.
The second batch of six Qingjia guards, one holding a shield and the other holding a sword, rushed up again, including one person from the seventh level of the Lingtai and five from the sixth level of the Lingtai.
Because the hillside is not very wide, not many people can be used each time.
"Ice Talisman!" The guards did not use the Fire Talisman this time, because the first wave of Green Armor Guards suffered the loss of the Fire Talisman, and the second wave must have used fire-proof magic shields.
One after another, the icicles stabbed towards the blue-armored guard below. The icicles hit the shield, making another crackling sound. The first wave of icicles exploded, and the second wave of icicles arrived.
After several consecutive impacts, the shield was frozen into an ice sculpture and then exploded.
The green armor guards hurriedly sacrificed the magic shield again, and the third and fourth waves of icicles rushed down one after another. The magic shield once again froze into ice sculptures and then exploded. Then two waves of sharp blade talismans attacked, and the second batch of people dropped three more. After finding the body, he fled.
"You're damn worthy of being from the Xuanfu Sect, but as many spiritual talismans as you have, they will all be used up at some point!" Ling Chengtong's face was a little distorted, and while he was shouting, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he waved his hand heavily.
The third wave of impact begins.
This time there are only four Qingjia Guards, but they are all cultivators of the eighth level of Lingtai!
These four people did not use magic shields. Three of them each hold a square magic weapon. On the surface of the magic weapon are the patterns of three flying sacred beasts: Kunpeng, Suzaku, and Phoenix.
Seeing this, Pu Zheng couldn't help but change his expression. He didn't expect Ling Chengtong to actually use the Three Sacred Magical Artifacts!
The three of them quickly approached the top of the peak and injected spiritual power into it frantically, intending to instantly activate the three holy magic weapons.
Zhou Yang found that after injecting spiritual power into the three of them, their faces immediately became pale and bloodless, and their bodies seemed to have lost weight, which showed how much spiritual power was consumed by the three holy magic weapons.
How could Pu Zheng wait for them to finish casting the spell before quickly issuing an attack order.
In an instant, several rays of light shot out from the mountain peak, covering the three of them like lightning.
However, the green-armored guard following the three of them had already prepared, and before the brilliance of the magic weapon came, he had already launched a huge magic shield. This object was several times larger than the magic shield offered before, and it actually covered all four people, blocking the rays of light rushing down the mountain.
Like the three people before him, the Qingjiawei who used his magic shield turned pale instantly and his spiritual power was greatly reduced.
After blocking the attack, the man quickly put away his shield, turned around and walked away.
At the same time, the Three Holy Magical Instruments have been fired.
