"Well."
Yunhe woke up from trance after taking a healing pill.
After feeling the condition of the body carefully, the spiritual consciousness showed a helpless smile.
Seriously injured, more seriously injured than ever before.
But fortunately, the red-backed arrow-winged falcon's demonic power has not entered his body, so it is only a matter of time before he recovers.
'Fortunately the defense was well done. '
The first time he used the "Black Scorpion Shield" in actual combat, he was surprised by its strong defensive power. He secretly admired the skill of the old man surnamed Ran in refining weapons.
No wonder when the other party handed over the "Black Scorpion Shield" to him, he was so proud that he even claimed that in terms of defensive power alone, the "Black Scorpion Shield" was comparable to top magic weapons.
'Don't deceive me. '
However, the fact that the "Black Scorpion Shield" can exert such an effect is also related to the state of the Red-backed Arrow-winged Falcon.
The red-backed arrow-winged falcon was already injured, but it was also hit by Ma Shaoyuan's "Fu Bao", coupled with the "miscarriage" and the advantage of the underground...
The combination of many factors led to Yunhe's second-level victory.
Otherwise, even if he has the "Black Scorpion Shield" and picks up Ma Shaoyuan's "talisman treasure", he may not be able to withstand the second blow against the red-backed arrow-winged falcon in full strength, and he will not be able to exert the effect of the "talisman treasure". .
The gap between the Qi refining period and the foundation building period is evident.
"Good 'talisman'."
Yun He couldn't put it down, playing with the talisman in his hand and sighing.
Compared with when Ma Shaoyuan just took it out, the lines of the small sword on the talisman paper were obviously much blurred at this moment.
'I don't know how many more times it can be used...'
In his mind, he recalled the information Qian Dajiang explained to him about the talisman.
Although the talisman is powerful, it also has many limitations in its use.
For example, the total amount of power contained in a talisman is fixed. The more spiritual power injected into it each time it is used, the stronger the power it will inspire.
But at the same time, the more times it is used, the more power is consumed, and the faster the talisman wears out.
When the power of the magic weapon sealed in it is completely exhausted, the talisman becomes just a piece of talisman paper.
Secondly, although the talisman was born out of a magic weapon, after all, under the guise of talisman paper, only a fraction of its power can be retained.
Finally, the use of the talisman requires a lot of spiritual power. With the quality of the spiritual power of the Qi Refining Monk, it will take a long time to activate the talisman.
In an ever-changing battle, the time it takes to activate a talisman is enough for the opponent to kill the user several times, so the timing must be controlled well.
But no matter what, it cannot erase the preciousness of the talisman, nor can it cover up the power of the talisman after it is activated.
"Only for this 'talisman', I won't lose this time... Well, let's just lose a little in the future. I really don't want to experience such a danger again."
He stood up unsteadily on his knees.
Take two steps.
The body slowly adapted to the current state.
Thanks to the three years of diligent physical training in Hongye City, he was no match for the second-level monsters, but his body was comparable to those in the middle stage of physical training, which was one of the reasons why he was able to withstand those rounds of attacks.
Drawing out the Green Scale Sword, he prepared to dismantle the Red-backed Arrow-winged Falcon.
"Move quickly, maybe there will be a green monster with a stupid head that is not afraid of the breath of the second-level monster and will come over."
Although this possibility is not high.
After a while, Yunhe stuffed the Red-backed Arrow-winged Falcon into several storage bags.
After making sure it is completely safe, then slowly dissect it.
'Fortunately, there are many storage bags, otherwise it might not be possible to carry them away. '
After processing.
Yunhe once again used the "earth escape technique" to return to the ground.
The moonlight shines down, covering the mountains and forests with a layer of silver.
Taking a deep breath, the cool mountain breeze at night entered his lungs, making him feel refreshed.
'By the way, there's also Ma Shaoyuan's storage bag! '
However, what disappointed Yunhe was that he failed to find Ma Shaoyuan's storage bag.
"Maybe he was burned by demonic fire..."
In fact, the storage bag itself does not have any special defensive capabilities. Facing the terrifying demon fire of the second-level monster, it is inevitable that it will be destroyed.
"pity."
He made a ball of fire and threw it on Ma Shaoyuan's body.
Ma Shaoyuan had a special status. Maybe the Ma family would send someone to investigate in the future, and they might as well burn the body to prevent others from seeing signs that the body had been rummaged through.
After doing this, he looked at the blood-stained monster egg on the other side.
If this monster egg is still active, its value would be exaggerated.
Many beast-controlling monks like to cultivate spiritual beasts from eggs, because only in this way can they establish a stronger relationship and minimize the possibility of betrayal by the monsters.
If the eggs of second-level monsters like the Red-backed Arrow-winged Falcon are cultivated properly, they may not be able to cultivate a second-level monster in the future.
You must know that the lifespan of a monster is much longer than that of a monk. This kind of monster that has reached the second level can be passed down as a family inheritance. It is enough to protect a foundation-building family for hundreds of years, and there is no need to worry about the family being unable to renew the foundation-building monk. And declined.
But the value of a dead egg without activity is greatly reduced.
"But it has some value."
Comforting myself, I put the egg into the storage bag.
I checked the surroundings again, erasing as many traces of myself as possible, and checking to see if there was anything I missed.
After doing this, he dragged his exhausted and seriously injured body and slowly left here.
...
"Fellow Daoist Ma, will that vicious beast come back again? We should leave as soon as possible..."
Yun He, who was hiding in a sheltered place and adjusting his breath, suddenly heard the sound coming from him.
"No! I must confirm whether Shao Yuan is still alive, otherwise I won't be able to explain to my ancestors when I go back."
Ma Boyuan's somewhat weak voice also followed.
"But that ferocious beast hasn't appeared for such a long time. It must have either left or found a place to recuperate. As long as I move faster, I shouldn't encounter it again."
This voice was clearly that of the fat Taoist priest Qian Dajiang.
Yun He gently pushed aside the dense branches and leaves in front of him and followed the sound.
Sure enough, I saw five monks, led by Ma Ma Boyuan, and four other mid-stage Qi training monks including Qian Dajiang.
Ma Boyuan's condition was not very good, his face turned pale and his steps were a little sloppy.
The other four monks also looked very embarrassed.
The whisk in Qian Dajiang's hand was burned until all that was left was a stick. He didn't know why he still held it persistently.
After thinking for a while, Yunhe decided to go out.
There are several reasons.
First, he only knew the general direction of Qingshan City, but he didn't know how to get there.
Although the straight-line distance between Hongye City and Qingshan City is five to six hundred miles, traveling between the two places is not a straight line.
You must know that the two big cities are separated by mountains and forests full of monsters. There are many places where powerful monsters are entrenched. It is very dangerous to rashly enter the territory of one or even a group of powerful monsters.
So the distance that seems short is actually more than doubled because of the need to avoid and take detours!
In addition, encountering obstacles and interference from monsters from time to time, it will take more time. This is also the reason why the treasure ship travels slowly.
Second point.
With multiple monks traveling together, they can be cared for more or less along the way, and with five or six people, the target is not too big.
To put it bluntly, even if he did encounter an extremely dangerous monster like the red-backed arrow-winged falcon, Yun He felt that with his ability to escape, it would be safer if other monks shared the monster's attention.
As for Fu Bao, the more he comes into direct contact with Ma Boyuan, the less likely he is to arouse suspicion. Instead, if his identity is discovered when he arrives at Qingshan City secretly, he will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Besides, no matter how precious the talisman is, it must be useful.
At a time of life and death, who cares whether a talisman is a talisman or not?
"who?!"
Sure enough, after Yun He released a wave of spiritual power, Ma Boyuan noticed it with great vigilance.
"Fellow Daoist Ma, I'm here." Yun He walked out with a sad face.
"Yunhe!"
Before Ma Boyuan could say anything, he saw Yun He and Qian Dajiang running up with excitement on his face, shaking his two hundred kilograms of meat.
"Where have you gone? I've been looking for you for a long time but I still can't find you!"
Yun He twitched his lips and patted Qian Dajiang's shoulder.
"Well, it's a long story..."
Seeing that they were familiar monks, Ma Boyuan and others felt relieved.
Then Yun He briefly told how he was chased by a red-backed arrow-winged falcon and finally escaped from death.
The words are mixed with truth and falsehood, so they are more convincing.
He still chose to show others his cultivation level at the sixth level of Qi Refining.
This can reduce a lot of unnecessary suspicions, such as whether there is a purpose for deliberately concealing the cultivation level, or whether it is possible that someone with advanced Qi refining cultivation level may have taken advantage of the talisman to pick up the talisman, etc.
In the middle stage of Qi training, people feel much more at ease.
However, Ma Boyuan still thinks highly of Yun He.
"My fellow Daoist Yun escaped from death, he is truly blessed."
He had faced the second-level red-backed arrow-winged falcon and knew its danger. Yun He was able to escape with his mid-stage Qi training. It was not just luck, but his centrality and ability must have been strong.
"Luck, it's just luck." Yun He looked modest.
Anyway, no matter what, if you put everything down to the word "luck", others can't say anything.
"In that case, fellow Taoist Yun, how about we come together?"
"Very good."
Yunhe took advantage of the situation and responded.
Afterwards, everyone followed Ma Boyuan to the place where Ma Shaoyuan and the Red-backed Arrow-winged Falcon collided.
The mess on the ground and the horrific traces of battle made everyone stunned and frightened.
However, Ma Boyuan searched for a while, but could not find Ma Shaoyuan's body or the talisman, and he seemed a little disappointed.
Due to repeated requests from everyone to leave quickly, he had no choice but to give up.
An iron leaf boat was brought out and everyone carefully left this place.
only.
Yunhe, who was silently observing from the side, always felt...
'Ma Boyuan's disappointment and helplessness are real, but there doesn't seem to be too much sadness? '
...
It wasn't until the Golden Crow rose to the east, dozens of miles away from the place where the treasure ship crashed, that Ma Boyuan found a relatively secluded and safe place to lower the iron leaf boat.
Last night's experience left the cultivators in a very poor state both mentally and physically. It was too dangerous to travel like this and they needed to adjust.
But while resting, Yun He's spiritual power became extremely active, attracting everyone's attention.
Is this a breakthrough?
Yun He also showed excitement and joy at the right time, bowed to everyone and said:
"Please help me take care of you."
After saying that, he used the "earth escape technique" and disappeared into the earth.
Immediately afterwards, the underground spiritual power fluctuated continuously.
This was also a scene that Yun He felt he had to perform after careful consideration.
The remaining journey to Qingshan City is not short, and there is no chance that we will be attacked by monsters on the way.
If he takes action then, his cultivation may be exposed.
Hiding his later cultivation will inevitably arouse Ma Boyuan's suspicion.
It would be better to use the pretense that after experiencing life and death dangers, the state of mind was touched and brought about a breakthrough in cultivation.
After all, a monk cultivates his mind more than he cultivates his body.
The reason why Ma Shaoyuan insisted on beheading the second-level red-backed arrow-winged falcon was not just to get rid of the hesitation and anxiety in his heart.
After Wang Jinglan experienced the journey to the monsters in the mountains and forests, his change in mood also brought improvement in his cultivation.
Even the fat Taoist priest Qian Dajiang was ordered to leave the mortal world for the purpose of cultivating his mind.
It seems that such changes in mood lead to breakthroughs in cultivation are not uncommon in the world of immortality. In addition to being surprised, everyone is more envious.
But they still helped Yun He protect the Fa very seriously.
Now they are in a vast mountain forest where monsters are rampant. They are "real grasshoppers on the same boat." Having one more late-stage monk in the team will definitely bring more advantages than disadvantages.
And Yunhe's "breakthrough" was also quite smooth.
