After rescuing Xiao Qimei, Zhou Yang's face turned a little pale. He did not answer, but took out a few pills and swallowed them, then handed the little girl to Qi Sihai, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone had flown a long distance and was already exhausted, and he was no exception.
When the accident just happened, he was not far away from Qi Sihai's flying sword. Even so, it would be impossible for an ordinary cultivator to save Xiao Qimei, because it would take less than a few breaths of effort to fall from more than ten feet in the air. It is difficult to take action in such a short period of time.
However, Zhou Yang was not an ordinary cultivator after all. At the critical moment, he gave up the flying sword and mobilized his magic power to use extremely fast movements. Only then was he able to grab Qi Mei's ankle. The little girl's head was about to fall into the water by just a hair.
After calming down for a while, Zhou Yang said: "Chief Qi, there is no need to be polite. By the way, what happened?"
"Oh, I blame my negligence. I heard You Chi talk about sleeping beasts before, so she fell in love with sleeping beasts." Qi Sihai sighed.
"Is there really a sleeping beast?" Zhou Yang was surprised.
"Xiaomei discovered an extremely fast black monster. The monster rushed forward, but the ant beast in the water immediately avoided and fell over. I didn't react at the time, but I saw the clues after a moment. , those ant beasts did not avoid it, but were instantly hypnotized, that is, they fell asleep."
"Slept over?"
"Yes, that's why I believe it is a sleeping beast! As long as we don't look at each other or it doesn't launch a targeted attack, we are not in danger, but that monster's senses are very sensitive, and it should have sensed Mei'er. She raised her head and looked over, I didn't hold her back, so I said goodbye."
Qi Sihai's eyes were full of love, and he glanced apologetically at Qi Mei in his arms.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look down, but at the same time they remembered the horror of the sleeping beast, and hurriedly looked back.
"That thing has disappeared long ago." Qi Sihai shook his head.
"oh."
"Everyone is tired. Let's find a giant tree to rest." Zhou Yang said.
He was always thinking about the sleeping beast. If he could get such a spiritual beast, wouldn't it be a great help.
However, that kind of spiritual beast is hard to come by. Unless there is a disaster in the rainforest, Jue Ji would not be able to see it.
The group of people fled like this for seven days and nights, until the white spots in the water gradually disappeared.
They didn't know how many miles they had run in the rainforest, and they were always on tenterhooks, fearing that as soon as they landed on a tree, they would be bitten by water ant beasts and fall down.
In the end, they were all a little numb, and there was only one thought left in their minds, and that was to run.
Everyone has long lost their sense of direction. They don't know where they are, nor where they are, nor where they are.
At this time, they all sat down and were sick. Whenever they saw water, they would subconsciously rise into the air to check if there were any white spots emerging.
Sometimes when the sun shines on the water, they will be frightened. To describe it as a frightened bird is not an exaggeration.
"Okay, we seem to have reached the edge of the jungle!" Qi Jiang said, standing on the flying sword with his face covered in sweat and his hair disheveled.
Everyone looked forward after hearing this.
They were walking through a swath of giant trees. Although it wasn't too dark, they never saw the light of day. At this time, they discovered that a large area of sunlight penetrated into the jungle in front of them. It was possible that they had actually reached the edge of the forest.
Not only that, there were also far fewer ant beasts in the water below.
As the river became extremely narrow, there were more grasses on both sides. The few white bugs in the water seemed to have no interest in the little beasts beside the grass.
Zhou Yang followed at the end of the team. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but feel moved, so he flew his flying sword downwards.
When he was still two feet away from the water, he suddenly waved his hand, and a burst of mana flowed into the water.
The mana turned into a big blurry hand, which picked up pieces of white bugs and put them into several large elixir bottles that had been prepared.
The water ant beast is not big, with a white body, about four inches long, one eye with a beard, and a large mouth that takes up more than half of the body. The two rows of sharp fangs in the mouth are very scary.
When Zhou Yang picked it up, the water ant beasts were obviously frightened. They opened their mouths and bit the bare hand, but in the end they bit nothing and were put into the elixir bottle.
Although the elixir bottle was not small, it still seemed a bit crowded. These insect beasts kept squirming and struggling in the bottle, and soon started biting each other.
Zhou Yang ignored this, quickly capped the bottle and left with the team.
"Great, we're finally out of the jungle!" About half an hour later, You Qing's surprised shout suddenly came from the front.
"It's out, it's finally out!" Qi Sihai, who was following behind, softened and his flying sword fell straight down.
Fortunately, he reacted in time and hurriedly stabilized his body.
There are no giant trees, no rivers, and the sun is shining on everyone, making them feel very comfortable.
The group of people was so tired that after landing, they staggered around regardless of their appearance, and no one wanted to get up.
Xi Danjin fell directly to the ground and fell asleep.
One day later.
"Chief Qi, are you out of any wine?" Zhou Yang gnawed on a piece of dried meat and said.
"No, didn't I give you the last bag?" Qi Sihai wiped the sand from his face and said.
"Sir, drink some water." You Qing handed over a leather bag.
"Don't drink!" Zhou Yang said angrily.
I have stopped drinking for a long time, and I don’t usually feel like the more I eat meat, the more I want to drink.
You Qing felt bored and started eating meat by himself.
Even when they are eating meat, they have to turn their backs to the wind, otherwise they will accidentally eat a mouth full of sand.
"You Chi, can you roughly judge the direction?" Zhou Yang asked after finishing the barbecue.
"I remember that after leaving the rainforest, there are mountains, but in front of me is a desert. I have never been to this place, so I can't determine the direction." You Chi shook his head.
Their destination should be the thunder field deep in the rainforest, but in their panic, they ended up in this barren desert, which was enough to make them depressed.
At this time, they had completely lost the joy of just leaving the jungle, because as far as the eye could see, there were endless hills and deserts, with sparse vegetation like islands in the sea.
Water is even more scarce, and they don't have much in stock. If they go deep into this desert and cannot find a water source for a long time, they will die of thirst.
Except for Qi Mei, these people are all cultivators in the early stage of Tianyuan. There is no problem at all if they don't eat for a few months, but they can't stand it if they don't drink water for several months. Besides, there is also a little Qi Mei who is a cultivator of Kaiyuan. .
It would be fine if there were people with water-type physiques among them, or people who knew water-type Taoism, but there was no one among them.
Qi Sihai, Qi Jiang, and Qi He all have the character for water in their names, but they are all of a landlubber type.
At this time, retreating to the rainforest was no longer an option, so they had no choice but to move forward.
"How big is this secret realm?" Zhou Yang wanted to ask this question a long time ago.
"This..." You Chi couldn't answer, and neither could Qi Sihai. Anyway, they hadn't reached the end of the secret place.
"Gather all the water together. We won't need it in the short term. Drink it closely with Xiao Qimei and then hit the road." After dark, Zhou Yang ordered.
The sun in the desert was too harsh, so they had no choice but to travel early or late.
"Yes." Everyone stood up silently, handed all the water they brought with them to Qi Mei for safekeeping, and then started on the road again.
One day, two days, three days... They walked against the wind and sand for a full month, but they didn't find even a drop of water.
Qi Mei doesn't have much water left on her body, and she can last for three days at most. This is something she can save by saving time and energy.
If water cannot be found within three to five days, Qi Mei's body will be overwhelmed.
During this month, they also discovered some seabuckthorn and wild cactus. There was still some water in the roots of seabuckthorn, and there was also water in the leaves of wild cactus. These things were collected by Zhou Yang into the treasure box for emergencies.
The spiritual energy in the desert is very thin. I don't know whether it has been evaporated or for other reasons. In short, it cannot help practice while resting.
You can’t practice it well, but you can still memorize some formulas and read some things.
Zhou Yang used this month to memorize the key points of alchemy and consolidate the second form of Golden Light Finger and Splitting Light Sword Technique. He also started practicing the secret techniques in Zhou Tianyuanjian.
There are not many secret techniques contained in Zhou Tian Yuanjian, and there are even fewer powerful attack secret techniques, and the training conditions for these secret techniques are very harsh.
The Wuji Yin Yang Finger must reach the late stage of Tianyuan before it can be practiced, and it only records a brief introduction of the secret technique, without any specific techniques at all.
However, Zhou Yangxiu has golden fingers and has a certain fingering foundation. If he has the technique, he should be able to master it quickly.
The lowest requirement for the invisible magical power of virtual fire also requires reaching the third level of Tianyuan cultivation, and you also need to have a high understanding of fire. However, if you have a fire-type constitution and your understanding of fire reaches a certain level, some conditions can be relaxed.
This magical power has recorded detailed techniques.
This gave Zhou Yang some understanding. Presumably, the secret technique of Wuji Yin Yang Finger is very powerful. The reason why there is no detailed record is probably because he is worried that practitioners who have not reached the late stage of Tianyuan will not be able to resist the temptation and practice without permission. In that case, it is easy to go crazy.
The requirement for virtual fire to be invisible is not high, it only needs to reach the third level of Tianyuan. The lowest requirement for practicing Zhou Tianyuanjian is the early stage of Tianyuan, so there are detailed records of this secret technique.
If this is the case, when breaking through to the late stage of Tianyuan, the mental formula of Wuji Yin Yang Finger should appear automatically.
Of course, this is just his guess.
The so-called invisible fire, also known as the dark fire technique, is a magical secret technique formed by deducing the mysterious changes of the flame technique and after countless attempts to figure it out.
As the name suggests, this technique can turn flames into nothingness and attack the enemy with virtual fire.
The invisible form of virtual fire is the highest state of this technique, and it cannot be detected by the naked eye or spiritual consciousness.
Although this magical power is small, it is practical, but it is extremely difficult to cultivate it to the point where virtual fire becomes invisible.
This technique is divided into three levels. The first stage is to turn fire into silk, the second stage is to turn silk into emptiness, and the third stage is to turn emptiness into invisible fire.
