Shangguan Hong had indeed spotted Zhang Yi and Zong Xi in front of him early, and even recognized Lou Qingyao at a glance.
Now it’s time to talk about Shangguan Hong. After all, she and Lou Qingyao have the same purpose, and she will never let go of the Qingluan egg. And compared with Zhang Yi, the only difference between what she wants to do is that the character she is targeting is Tang Ping.
The last time Qian Chao and five others came out, Shangguan Hong followed them quietly, and naturally followed them into Luan Shi Gang. When they came out, they were discovered by Zhang Yi, Zong Yi and Lou Qingyao. In fact, with Shangguanhong's vigilance, she shouldn't have been so careless when she came out of Rock Hill that time. She might even have discovered Zhang Yi and the three others. The reason why she was discovered by Zhang Yi and others that time was because What he saw and heard in Rock Rock put Shangguan Hong in a panic that was mixed with shock and disbelief at the same time.
Shangguan Hong had another experience in the Thousand Needles Pine Forest before Luan Shi Gang, and she was completely fooled that time. The first point is that only Qian Chao entered the Thousand Needles Pine Forest at that time, but Shangguan Hong thought that Qian Chao and Tang Ping had all entered; the second point was that Qian Chao returned to the Five Spirits Sect after finishing his work in the Thousand Needles Pine Forest, and Since Shangguan Hong had never found any trace of Qian Chao, Tang Ping and others, she thought that the five people must still be inside carefully looking for the eggs of Qingluan, so she stayed in the Thousand Needles Pine Forest and refused to leave until Gu Huo Fairy According to the agreement with Qian Chao, Ah Jiu entered the Thousand Needles Pine Forest to kill the Arrow Pig and the Xiaoxiao Bird. She did not see the scene of killing the Arrow Pig, but Shangguan Hong was not there when Ah Jiu killed the Xiaoniao. In the distance, the turmoil caused by the fierce fight between two high-level birds spread to a large area and almost killed Shangguan Hong. She was a member of the Wuling Sect who barely escaped with an injury.
Shangguan Hong didn't know why Ajiu appeared there, but she soon thought that it was Fairy Guhuo who was helping her disciples, and asked Ajiu to kill the most powerful monsters and birds in the Thousand Needles Pine Forest. In this way, Tang Ping Only then can we search there.
During the time when Shangguan Hong was recuperating, she was still worried that Tang Ping would find the Qingluan egg first, but she soon realized that her worries were unnecessary. After that, rumors spread in the clan, and she understood that Qian Chao and Tang Ping were there. I went to Cold Pool for a while. Shangguan Hong had no interest in the matter of Hanchichi. She waited until the matter of Hanchichi completely calmed down. When Tang Ping and the other two went out to search for the Green Luan Egg again, she continued to follow them quietly. That time It was Qian Chao and Tang Ping's trip to Shigang.
And it was that trip to Shigang that completely changed Shangguanhong's attitude towards Qian Chao and the five people.
Shangguan Hong's initial attitude towards Qian Chao was very contemptuous and disdainful. In fact, it was not just Qian Chao, but also Yanxuan, Li Jian and Lu Pingchuan. She believed that these four people were flattering and clinging to Tang Ping because of Tang Ping's life experience. Around her, this was very distasteful to her. But that was a long time ago, and too many things happened later, which gradually changed her view of Tang Ping's four companions, especially in Shouwo Mountain. Although it was difficult to see clearly from a distance, But in the end, the astonishing changes that occurred in Shouwo Mountain were probably caused by Qian Chao. In the process, she began to pay more and more attention to Qian Chao and all the companions around Tang Ping, and even feared her, until she was in chaos. During her trip to Ishioka, she completely changed her view of these five people because of what she saw with her own eyes.
Because she finally met Ah Jiu in the Thousand Needles Pine Forest, Shangguanhong believed that Ah Jiu would follow Tang Ping quietly to protect her when she entered the rocky hill. This made her rely more on her black fur cloak, which was made of Qiu Hua. What He gave to Shangguan Hong after he was sentenced to a hundred years of imprisonment was an out-and-out treasure. With this black fur, Shangguan Hong could not only avoid the detection of mid-level monsters, but also avoid detection by high-level monsters. In front of her, as long as she activates the black fur with all her strength, she can retreat safely without any harm.
Of course, this is what makes Shangguan Hong most curious. She has a black fur protection, which was given to her by her master. There is only one black fur, not even her master uncle Huo Xianzi. So how did Tang Ping get it? How about being able to come and go freely within the Thousand Needle Pine Forest and the Rock Hill?
The important thing is not only Tang Ping, but four of her companions also entered the forbidden area. How did they avoid being discovered by the mid-level monsters inside?
Of course Shangguan Hong would not know that those five people were all wearing a small wooden sign with the "Hidden Spirit Formation" engraved on it. The formation on this wooden sign could almost completely block the fluctuations of spiritual energy emitted by the five of them. If it hadn't been for the close distance and the noise it made, it wouldn't have attracted the attention of the mid-level monsters in the forbidden area. She didn't know this, and it was even less likely that she had seen the small wooden sign. In her eyes, those five people seemed to have no interest at all. Without this layer of worry, he just broke into the rocky hill.
Here we can briefly comment on the difference between Shangguan Hong’s black fur and Qian Chao’s small wooden sign.
When targeting mid-level monsters, it should be said that there is no difference in the effect of the two things. Whether it is a black fur or a small wooden sign made by Qian Chao, they can cover their own spiritual energy fluctuations, unless they are directly seen or smelled by mid-level monsters. See or hear it, otherwise everyone who uses it is safe.
However, the black fur must constantly consume the user's own spiritual energy when it is functioning. However, the small wooden plaque made by Qian Chao does not have this burden. It only needs to be worn on the body. Therefore, from this perspective, it is naturally Qian Chao's small wooden plaque. Cards are better.
But there are still high-level monsters in the forbidden area. If you face high-level monsters, the small wooden sign made by Qian Chao will be difficult to deal with. Whether it is Tang Ping or Li Jian, if you only wear that small wooden sign, you will definitely be beaten. High-level monsters are aware of it and are in danger. At this time, Shangguan Hong didn't have this trouble. Even if she was noticed by a high-level monster, as long as she instilled more spiritual energy into Heiqiu, she would still be able to disappear without a trace under the induction of the high-level monster. Therefore, When facing the dangers brought by high-level monsters, Shangguan Hong is much safer and more secure.
Of course, this comparison does not take Qian Chao's "Youwei Technique" into account. If we only compare Qian Chao and Shangguan Hong when they enter the forbidden area, then even if Shangguan Hong has Heiqiu, he cannot compare with "Youwei". "Skill" is close to Qian Chao, because in terms of flexibility, Shangguanhong is worse than Qian Chao.
What's more, in the Rock Hill at that time, the two high-level monsters "Tooth Duo" and "Chaoshu" had been killed by Ah Jiu. Qian Chao and others knew this, but Shangguan Hong didn't know it. It was enough for Qian Chao and others to use the small wooden sign in Rock Hill, but Shangguanhong had met Ah Jiu in the Thousand Needles Pine Forest, so he thought that it was possible that Ah Jiu was also secretly protecting Tang in Rock Hill. Ping, she was even more worried that Ajiu would even harm her under Tang Ping's instruction, so she didn't dare to leave the protection of Hei Qiu. Therefore, Shangguan Hong was exhausted because of the constant consumption of spiritual energy during the entire trip to Rock Ping.
Another point is that Shangguan Hong never found Tang Ping and his party in the Thousand Needles Pine Forest. She thought that she had lost track of them at that time, so she followed closely in the rocky hill and did not dare to let up for a moment. That time she It was true that she was not following him, and precisely because she was not following him, what she saw frightened her.
Although Qian Chao and the other five people couldn't be said to be as comfortable as strolling in the rocky hills, they were much more relaxed than she was.
The five people walked around in the forbidden area, looking left and right to search. In Shangguanhong's view, the five people seemed to have entered either the forbidden area, or an ordinary place outside the sect. This was what Shangguanhong found most disturbing. I don’t understand, this is obviously a forbidden area!
Not only that, the five people were talking and laughing, acting very relaxedly. Shangguanhong was far away, so Shangguan Hong could not hear what they were talking about, but even with Heiqiu around, she did not dare to get too close. I can only follow from a distance.
After a period of time, Shangguan Hong gradually made some discoveries. In her opinion, Qian Chao was the easiest among the five people. This is not to say that Qian Chao did nothing among them, but that Qian Chao was in the forbidden area. The performance is the most relaxed, the other four are more or less cautious, but Qian Chao is the most leisurely in the forbidden area;
In addition, the busiest among the five people is probably Yanxuan. Rock Hill is a forbidden area, and the richness of spiritual energy is unmatched by other places. Therefore, there are many spiritual herbs here and almost all of them are of high quality. Therefore, Shangguan Hong would see Yan Xuan squatting down to pick from time to time. The movement of the five people was completely slowed down by Yan Xuan, and if there were dense grasses somewhere, Tang Ping would also help;
Later, Shangguan Hong also discovered that among the five people, Qian Chao seemed to be the main one. Although he searched carefully in the rocky hills, Qian Chao seemed to follow Qian Chao's instructions on how to go and where he went. Even the spicy soup Ping was obedient, and this discovery puzzled Shangguanhong again;
In Luanshi Gang, in addition to Yanxuan who has been picking spiritual grass, Qian Chao also used methods to find some mineral veins, and immediately started digging with the big man named Lu Pingchuan to see Qian Chao's expression He seemed as happy as if he had found some treasure.
The most leisurely among the five people is probably the sword cultivator named Li Jian. During the entire trip to Luanshi Gang, Li Jian stood there quietly no matter when he saw him, whether it was Yanxuan meeting Lingcao. Qian Chao still found the mineral vein, but he would not help until one time Shangguanhong relaxed because she had consumed a lot of spiritual energy and there were no monsters near her. After the black fur cloak lost her spiritual energy, she immediately discovered Li Jian Shangguan Hong turned his face and stared in the direction where she was hiding. Shangguan Hong was suddenly startled, and then he realized why Li Jian had been acting like this. According to rumors, this Li Jian has a natural telepathic power and can detect the prying eyes of others from a long distance away. No wonder he did nothing in the forbidden area. It turns out that he was acting as a sentinel. Not only was Li Jian watching at that time, came over, and under his warning, the other four people also looked in the direction where Shangguan Hong was hiding. Shangguan Hong was shocked for a moment, and he quickly used the black fur cloak again regardless of the loss of his own spiritual energy. She urgently changed her hiding place to stay as far away from the five people as possible.
Of course, this was not what surprised Shangguan Hong the most during the trip to Rock Hill. What surprised her the most was the behavior of the five people after they encountered the mid-level monster.
Shangguan Hong had encountered mid-level monsters more than once in the Thousand Needles Pine Forest, and had several thrilling experiences. With her current cultivation level, she would never dare to confront a mid-level monster head-on, but those five people It was completely different when facing the sudden mid-level monsters. They neither evaded nor ran away. Not long after entering Rock Hill, Shangguan Hong saw for the first time from a distance how Qian Chao arranged the formation. For some unknown reason, a monster suddenly came out in front of Qian Chao and the five of them, roaring at the five of them. He rushed forward, and with a few quick changes of Qian Chao's hand techniques, a shiny group of things flew out quickly and scattered in an open space before disappearing. During this period, the monster beast brought up a huge cloud of smoke and rushed over fiercely. It looked scary. While Shangguan Hong was worried about the five people, they just watched the monster beast rushing towards them calmly. , until the monster beast rushed into the open space, all its strength suddenly disappeared, but the momentum of the rush was still there. The huge body suddenly lost its balance and rolled and smashed rapidly on the ground until it finally stopped and could no longer move. Then Li Jian would quickly step forward and pierce the monster's skull with a sword from its eye, killing the monster immediately. Then Lu Pingchuan would appear and happily kill the killed middle-level monster. The monster is packed into his storage bag.
When Shangguan Hong saw this scene for the first time, he felt his chest beating so hard!
Apart from anything else, if the mid-level monster had swooped towards her just now, she would have immediately activated the black fur cloak with all her strength, and then fled from there immediately. At most, the monster would have lost track of her in the original place. It just wandered around twice and roared a few times. But Qian Chao and those five people were so straightforward. They didn't even bother to hide when they encountered a mid-level monster, they just killed it!
It even... seems like killing those mid-level monsters is one of the things they have to do when they enter the forbidden area!
On the first day when Shangguan Hong followed Qian Chao in Rock Hill, very similar scenes happened many times in different places with different monsters, not only the monsters running on the ground, but also the monsters in the air. People like Qian Chao can also deal with the monster birds. In the places where some monster birds live in Rock Hill, Qian Chao arranged his formations either on the mountain walls on both sides of the small canyon, or on the adjacent walls. Between the neighboring boulders or between the big trees, in short, as long as those big birds with wings spread at least more than ten feet swooped in like dark clouds and lightning, either with their sharp beaks or sharp claws aimed at the five people, they wanted to catch them. At that time, as long as their wings passed through those formations, they would immediately fall straight or diagonally to the ground as if they had lost all their strength. Then Li Jian stepped out again, and took the sword with a flash of light. It took its life, and then it was Lu Pingchuan's turn to happily put it away in the storage bag.
We are both Qi Refining disciples, is the difference so big?
Shangguan Hong even thought about it. If Tang Ping and others really found the egg of Qingluan, with the current performance of the five of them, could she still snatch the precious egg?
