Chapter 293: Entering the forbidden area by mistake
Seeing her like this, Yi Xifeng knew that her eldest lady was angry, so she didn't say much. The two of them finished their meal quietly and chased in the direction of Medicine Master Miao.
But what puzzled Yi Xifeng was that Youye Valley was located to the southwest of them, while Miao Yaoshi and Ye Jingshu were heading to the northwest.
"Did they go the wrong way?" Zhong Lingxi also realized this problem.
"Do they have other things to do? But what can they do when they first come to this secret realm?" Yi Xifeng pondered for a moment, "Keep a good distance first and continue to follow."
According to Yi Xifeng's soul sensing range, when locking someone's soul, he can sense the other person's existence up to twelve miles away. Yesterday they had been controlling the distance to about six miles, but something was fishy today, so he controlled the distance to ten miles.
It was about noon. As they marched, a foul smell came from the south. When Yi Xifeng looked towards this mountainous area, he found that the mountains here had slowed down, and patches of plains appeared between the mountains. He smelled it carefully and couldn't tell the specific source of the stench. It felt like it came from everywhere in this land.
"The stench gave me a headache." The fair young man complained. Then his eyes lit up and he said to Zhong Lingxi, "Do you think they were sent north by the stench?"
When he looked towards Zhong Lingxi, he saw that the other party was pinching his nose and saying in a buzzing voice: "It stinks so much here. If you want me, I'll go away too."
Yi Xifeng extended his soul to the south and noticed that a large area in the south was mostly grassland. Compared to the way they came, there were fewer tall trees. Seeing this landscape, he suspected that the two Miao pharmacists were also deliberately hiding their figures during the march. They saw that it was not convenient to hide here, so they took a detour. In this case, it makes sense.
Just as he was taking his soul back, he noticed that the land in the south was covered with scattered bones. And when you look closely, they are actually human bones!
His soul continued to extend, and he found a trace similar to an ancient battlefield not far away. The land there was dark red, and the ground was full of worn-out weapons and thick bones. What surprised him even more was that in the middle of the white bones, there were five figures standing there. They searched among the bones like wolves searching for food in the wild.
What are they doing?
Yi Xifeng was wondering when he suddenly felt that he was being targeted. That was not a gaze in the ordinary sense, but a gaze between souls. Among those people, a woman raised her head and looked in the direction of Yi Xifeng. Although she was more than three miles away, Yi Xifeng really felt that she was being seen. And he also discovered that the strength of the other party's soul was also higher than his!
The two looked at each other from a distance, and Yi Xifeng saw a bit of vigilance and a bit of murderous intent in each other's eyes. As soon as the woman waved, the four people around her quickly ran towards Yi Xifeng's direction together with her.
They have secrets. Yi Xifeng realized in an instant, but he broke their secret.
"No!" The fair young man grabbed Zhong Lingxi's wrist and started running. He said urgently, "Someone has discovered us. Run with me."
The two of them ran due north, but due to Zhong Lingxi's speed, the distance between the five opponents and the two of them was gradually getting closer.
"Get on my back!" Yi Xifeng half-crouched on the ground and let Zhong Lingxi lie on his back. But seeing that the other party didn't seem to understand what he meant, he stretched out his arms and put her on his shoulders.
Zhong Lingxi, who was resisted, seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter. She said in a calm voice: "Is the other party very strong?"
Zhong Lingxi's calmness impressed Yi Xifeng. He picked up his speed and ran at full speed. At the same time, he explained to her: "There are five people on the other side. One of them is at least the Great Hero."
"Then just run and I'll help you hold them off."
"What are you going to do?" When he heard what Zhong Lingxi said, Yi Xifeng was worried that she would be impulsive, so he hugged her tighter and said, "Don't do anything stupid."
Zhong Lingxi paused for a moment and replied, "Don't worry."
This sentence "Don't worry" made Yi Xifeng feel warm in his heart. Perhaps Zhong Lingxi always has a temperamental temper in normal times. Sometimes she acts arrogantly and no one can go against her temper, and sometimes she acts foolishly and always acts impulsively. But like this, whenever she encounters a big problem, she will be extremely calm.
Yi Xifeng ran quickly against Zhong Lingxi, passing through jungles and over hills. Zhong Lingxi, who was on his shoulder, raised his fingers together, picked up the stones on the roadside, and hit the five people three miles away. Driven by her inner strength, the stones shot away like arrows leaving the bowstring.
Although the stone itself is not sharp, with the blessing of internal strength, it can break through a three-foot-thick rock wall. However, when such powerful rocks were struck at the five people, they were shattered by the body-protecting energy around them before they even touched their bodies.
Zhong Lingxi saw that the stones he threw did not have much impact on the five people, so he targeted the nearby trees. The rocks under her control turned in the air and knocked down trees. She used the fallen trees to create roadblocks and slow down the five men as much as possible.
In fact, the five people on the opposite side were no faster than Yi Xifeng. Under Zhong Lingxi's interference, they gradually widened the distance. It took another half a day to get out of the sensing range of each other's souls.
"Obviously I just glanced at them, but they are so persistent in pursuing me. It seems that there is a big secret hidden in it."
Yi Xifeng, who was panting from exhaustion, put Zhong Lingxi on the ground and simply sat down. The sweat he shed along the way was like a drizzle of rain. His face was already covered with water, and most of his body was soaked.
Zhong Lingxi took out the fair young man's gourd from the bag, handed it to Yi Xifeng, and said to him: "Drink two sips of water first."
Yi Xifeng was very thirsty, so he took the gourd and drank heavily. He heard Zhong Lingxi continue: "I don't think the skills of those people are like those who are practicing body training."
"How do you say it?" Because he drank too fast, sweat mixed with water poured into his mouth. Yi Xifeng wiped the sweat from his face and drank a few more sips.
"Judging from their methods, their realm should be higher than ours, but their speed is far behind. I can only think of two reasons for this. One is that their realm is actually not high. Those kinds of methods, They just rely on the magic weapons they have; the other is that they may be Qi refining warriors, and their speed is their weakness."
