Zhong Pengfei's eyes narrowed and he said: "It's the footprints of a giant monster! With such big footprints, this monster's grade will definitely not be low. We have to change the direction and go up the mountain from the other side.
Zhou Yang was also surprised. What kind of giant monster came up the mountain in this icy and snowy world?
The two of them no longer hesitated and turned to another hillside. The green wolf had already disappeared. In this case, even if the green wolf was still there, he could not ride because the mountain road was too difficult to walk.
Black Tiger Mountain is more than three thousand feet high. There are cliffs, giant trees and strange rocks everywhere. They are all wrapped in silver at this time, and there is no way to go up the mountain.
And now they have no choice but to go up the mountain. If we take a detour, it will be several times farther, and we don’t know when we will reach Hot Spring Peak.
Where there is no road, the two of them can only use their magic and spiritual power to jump across. After several hours of this, the two of them have consumed a lot of their magic and spiritual power. The sun is about to set, and they have to climb to the top of the mountain quickly to find a safe place. shelter.
"Uncle, how are you?" Zhou Yang looked at Zhong Pengfei's empty sleeve, feeling filled with guilt.
"It doesn't matter, the injury is mostly healed, don't worry." Zhong Pengfei smiled.
Zhou Yang also smiled.
"Be careful!" As soon as Zhong Pengfei finished speaking, a spiritual light shot into the sky, and a shadow appeared above the two of them, passing quickly with a scream.
"It's the Black Blue Eagle, a level four high-level flying monster that's extremely difficult to deal with!" Zhong Pengfei looked at the sky with a solemn expression.
Zhou Yang also looked towards the sky. The huge black canopy eagle's wings spread out to be five or six feet long, its claws are extremely thick and sharp, but its body is very flexible.
Zhong Pengfei's aura did not hit this beast. At this time, the black cang eagle circled, dived downwards fiercely, and shot towards Zhou Yang like an arrow. It also shows that Zhou Yang is the weakest of the two.
Zhou Yang was angered, and a ray of light snake greeted the roaring black eagle like lightning. The black eagle paused for a moment, then stopped suddenly at an extremely fast speed. Its left wing quickly retracted, and the light snake passed by its wings.
The left wing of the black eagle unfolded again, but just as it extended, another silver aura swept over, and its target was still its left wing.
At this time, the left wing of the black eagle had just unfolded, and there was no time to retract it again. The silver aura hit the root of the left wing of the black eagle and passed through with a pop. The Black Eagle screamed and fled in panic, its left wing still trembling, blood dripping on the snow, looking extremely warm and eye-catching.
"This beast is very difficult to deal with. It's really difficult for me to deal with it alone." Zhong Pengfei raised his fingers and looked up.
Flying monsters have innate advantages. Like this black blue eagle, they can sometimes use this advantage to kill monsters of a higher level than themselves, and the same goes for cultivators. Fighting against it gave even Tianyuan cultivators a headache.
However, the master and apprentice worked together tacitly and injured the black eagle in just two blows.
"Thanks to a single monster, we would be in dire straits if they lived in groups."
"Haha, haven't you ever encountered a wolf-headed bird? How did it feel?" Zhong Pengfei teased.
"Don't mention it, I was almost eaten and there was no scraps left." Zhou Yang was still frightened when he thought of the scene of being chased before.
"Haha, let's go."
The two continued walking up the hillside.
Zhou Yang felt that his spiritual power was running smoothly and abundantly. At this time, he was walking as fast as flying, and there was no sense of spiritual emptiness after striking the luminous snake. He knew that it was because of the replenishment of that energy.
He fired another spiritual light forward, and the consumed spiritual energy was immediately replenished.
"Hey, this is a good method, it can effectively resolve that energy!" Zhou Yang was delighted and fired several auras in succession.
Zhong Pengfei frowned, and then shouted: "Don't use spiritual light again!"
However, his words were already too late. Zhou Yang shot out three spiritual lights again, which actually shattered a huge boulder.
But the next moment, he faintly felt that the meridians throughout his body were bulging, and his spiritual power began to operate on its own. Not good, it’s a sign of breakthrough!
How could he make a breakthrough in this state of his body at this time and at this place!
Zhou Yang secretly cursed himself for getting carried away and committing a taboo. He hurriedly sat down on the ground and used the Xuan Gang Jue to suppress the energy with his spiritual power.
Zhong Pengfei looked around cautiously, holding the long sword in his hand to prevent any monsters from disturbing Zhou Yang.
Less than half an hour later, Zhou Yang exhaled a long breath of turbid air. His meridians had calmed down and his spiritual power had stabilized. The energy was forced back to his dantian, but the breakthrough process was forcibly suppressed.
"You, you!" After a long time, seeing Zhou Yang's expression gradually improving, Zhong Pengfei pointed at Zhou Yang, angrily saying that he refused to argue.
Since his body is fine, now is not the time to make a breakthrough. When breaking through a realm, it is best to find a quiet place to meditate and execute the exercises, concentrate on breaking through the realm, and avoid being disturbed by others.
But there is no room for him to make a calm breakthrough here. A high-level monster may appear at any time, which is extremely dangerous.
Moreover, Zhou Yang simply cannot break through so early. Not to mention his physical condition, he has gone from the peak of Tianyuan to the sixth level of the Lingtai in more than a year. Basically, it is a step up in a few months. Breakthroughs are made one after another. It is really too fast and it is easy to stay. Hidden illness.
Zhou Yang stabilized his condition and stood up again, with a slight fever on his face.
"People are trying their best to break through the realm, but you still think it's too fast to enter the realm, so you want to suppress the matter. If this is seen by others, it will become a legend in the cultivation world." Zhong Pengfei teased.
"Uncle Master was joking. In the past, this disciple would have been really happy. But with my current attitude, my state of mind is a little unstable, and my spiritual consciousness doesn't seem to be strong enough. How can I make another breakthrough? This disciple knows that I am wrong. .”
"Yes. Spiritual power must be used on the blade. When it comes to life and death, you have to use it even if there is a danger of exploding your body. Damn it, when the matter is finished, you can adjust your body to the best before you can make a breakthrough." Zhong Pengfei nodded.
"The doctor said it well. It may not be a good thing to enter the realm too quickly. It doesn't matter if you take it slow. The effect will be better when things are done, and it will also be good for your future growth. However, the relationship between the improvement of cultivation and the injury of consciousness is different. It’s not big, it should still have some relief effect.”
"Is there any relief effect?" Zhou Yang also became interested after hearing this.
"I really can't remember it without this matter. I saw a record in the sect's classics in the past. It said that improving one's cultivation can assist in the treatment of injuries to the consciousness. Although it cannot cure, it can alleviate it, at least it can Reduce pain.”
"Oh, there is such a saying!" Zhou Yang said in surprise.
"You currently have no better way to heal the wounds of your spiritual consciousness. You might as well try this method. Of course, you have to wait until your body meets the conditions. It is best to wait until I return to the clan and read the classic in detail. , in order to verify this matter.”
"Okay, I'll listen to my uncle." Zhou Yang readily agreed without hesitation. As long as the wounds of the consciousness can be healed, matters of the state of mind can only be put aside for the time being.
He also thought about the two breakthroughs after his spiritual consciousness was injured. Needless to say, the second time was forced and there was no understanding at all. But for the first time, it seemed that it really didn't cause any damage to the consciousness, nor did it produce that strong tingling sensation. Maybe it really had an effect.
At this time, the hillside became steeper, and the two had no choice but to climb.
After finally reaching the top of the mountain, the peak was covered with white everywhere. Some small trees were overwhelmed, their branches were broken, and snowflakes fell. A few snow rats were scurrying around, not too afraid of the cultivators.
It was already dark at this time, but there was no cave at the top of the mountain. Fortunately, the place was not big. There was nothing but huge rocks and trees, and the monsters would not come up.
Zhou Yang found some dead branches and other things to ignite the fire, peeled off the skin of the little beast, took out a few headless gray carp, removed the fish scales, put them on the stone and started grilling.
When the aroma was wafting around, the two started eating and drinking wine and fish.
Not to mention, the meat of the gray carp is delicious. When grilled, it is fragrant and melts in your mouth. It is even more delicious than stewed animal meat.
After eating, he thought about it carefully. He didn't know whether it was due to preconceptions or whether it really had an effect. Zhou Yang felt that his consciousness was refreshing and very comfortable.
That night, Zhou Yang didn't think about anything else and concentrated on comprehending the Wanli Chasing Wind Technique. While running the magic formula, he observed the direction of spiritual power in the meridians, and gained a lot in one night.
However, when cultivators spend the night in the wild in winter, they need to use their spiritual power to resist the cold. In addition, Zhou Yang has comprehended the Ten Thousand Miles Chasing Wind Art, so he has to use his spiritual power. But Zhou Yang was more careful and did not use it explosively, but guided it slowly, so that the energy did not become frenzied.
At this time, Zhou Yang woke up from his meditation, and couldn't help but burst into laughter. His uncle turned into a snowman, sitting cross-legged under the big tree with his eyes closed, but his breath was long and distant, so his injuries should be almost healed.
Zhou Yang couldn't help but sigh at the wonder of the Qi-Building Pill. It was thanks to the success of refining it before entering the mountain, otherwise the injuries of his uncle and himself would not have healed so quickly.
The snow had stopped at this time. He shook his body, stood up, and took a deep breath of the aura of the mountain. He felt extremely refreshed. If he wasn't afraid of the monsters in the mountains, he would have wanted to shout loudly into the distance.
"Let's go." More than half an hour later, Zhong Pengfei was standing behind him.
"good."
There is a proverb among mortals, it is easier to go up a mountain than to go down. But for cultivators, it is not difficult to go down the mountain. When they encounter big rocks blocking the road or rugged terrain, they jump up, cross over directly, and fall in front.
Tianyuan masters can even fly directly with their weapons, and can easily pass over mountains as long as they are not too high. Because Zhou Yang is following him, Zhong Pengfei is naturally unable to fly with his sword, and he also has to save mana, and with the threat of flying beasts, he is also suitable for flying.
It took less time to go down the mountain than to go up the mountain, and there were really not many monsters in the snow. On the way, I only saw the body of a level 5 primary pangolin leopard. It seemed that it had not been dead for a long time, and the body was buried by the snow that fell last night. Look, only four leopard hooves are exposed at this time.
The materials on the fifth-level primary monster were worth a lot of spirit stones, especially the bones and demon pills. Zhou Yang naturally wouldn't let it go and pulled the body out of the snow.
This monster is huge, with yellowish-brown fur and stripes. If it is made into a leather robe, it will have a very good thermal insulation effect. But for cultivators, it is useless.
This pangolin was covered in wounds, and it had obviously gone through a fierce fight with other monsters. This reminded Zhou Yang of the footprints of those giant monsters yesterday.
