Luo Jing suddenly stopped and let go of Mu Ge. His expression became extremely solemn and he stared intently at the huge ancient tree in front of him. The ancient tree is like an old man who has experienced vicissitudes of life. It requires ten people to work together to surround it. It is tens of meters high and has lush branches and leaves, covering the sky.
Luo Jing took a deep breath and seemed to be making a difficult decision. He was troubled in his heart.
Qian Jin, Yalan and Hu Di followed closely and came to the ancient tree.
Chen Fan frowned and stared at the huge sky-gazing tree, falling into deep contemplation.
Luo Jing took a deep breath, turned to face everyone, and said with a serious expression: "Although the road to the right of Wangtian Tree is safer, it is also the preferred route for caravans and warriors to pass through the Dreamy Dark Forest. This road is rarely used Monsters are everywhere, and even if we encounter them, they are only low-level monsters, and they are relatively close to the Merchant Alliance, only about ten days away."
He paused, glanced at everyone, and continued: "However, the road to the left of Wangtianshu is completely different. Not only is it a long distance, but it is also rampant with monsters and crazy warriors and mercenaries everywhere. They have been in crisis for a long time. There are no restrictions in any way, and there are no taboos in our behavior. If we choose this path, we must not only be alert to the attacks of monsters at all times, but also be careful of those who act crazy, especially there are two beautiful girls in our team. It’s easier to get their attention.”
Hearing this, Qian Jin and the three of them couldn't help but nodded slightly. Obviously they were also very aware of the seriousness of the situation. Luo Jing's words made them feel a chill. They all knew that in such an environment, they not only had to face natural threats, but also faced dangers from their own kind.
"Tsk! Whoever dares to covet us, I will make him stop all evil thoughts!" Yalan's left hand flashed a cold light in the air, and her beautiful eyes shone with determination.
"Uncle Luo, what do you mean?" Qian Jin asked cautiously.
"In my opinion, we choose the safe route on the right. It will only take one day at most before the people from the 'Ghost Hall' will follow us again, and a fierce battle will inevitably happen." Luo Jing looked solemn, with a look on his face. He said helplessly: "It's unclear whether we will be so lucky next time. What's more, the other party may have reinforcements arriving. If we really meet again, we are afraid that we will face huge dangers..."
"So, what about choosing the path on the left?" Woody asked immediately.
"The left side is a place where monsters are rampant and scheming warriors and mercenaries often hang out. If we choose the left side, we will face attacks from monsters and are more likely to be attacked by warriors who are on the verge of madness due to pressure. However, we are about to The dangers faced by the people of the 'Ghost Hall' will also be encountered.
The 'Ghost Palace' has a bad reputation. Although there may not be many people in the Huorong Empire who dare to openly confront them, there must be a lot of people in that place who are looking for trouble for them. If they accidentally encounter a high-level monster, it is not impossible that the whole army will be annihilated..."
Luo Jing continued his analysis: "As a last resort, we might be able to join forces with those bounty hunters to deal with the Ghost Palace. In this way, we might have a better chance of winning in the dangerous Dream Forest."
Luo Jing said slowly, and after explaining the situation, expressed his opinion: "If we go to the right, we will not be attacked by monsters and other warriors, but we will face the major threat of the 'Ghost Palace'. On the left we will We were attacked by monsters and warriors, but the 'Ghost Hall' might be even worse than us. For us, the left side might have a better chance of escaping."
"Just go to the left!" Mu Ge decisively defined.
"Okay." Luo Jing nodded immediately, looked at Chen Fan for the last time, and said, "Little brother, it's still too late for you to leave now. If you don't leave now... it will be too late if you want to leave again."
"I'll go with you." Chen Fan had already made up his mind. He had a crazy side in his character, otherwise he wouldn't have spent ten years indulging in a death game like extreme sports.
When Luo Jing talked about the crisis on the left, he couldn't help but get excited.
Nodding, Luo Jing waved and said: "Okay, let's go. From now on, everyone will be more cautious!"
…
after an hour.
Yan Dongchen and the Yan family warriors also stopped before looking at the Sky Tree.
"Second uncle, which path will they choose?" Yan Ruyu asked.
""I will chase them from the right. If I don't come back in two hours, you will follow them. If I don't catch them in two hours, they will probably go to the left. "Yan Dongchen thought for a moment, ordered everyone to wait here, and flew away from the left alone.
An hour and a half later, Yan Dongchen returned with a gloomy face, "Not a single ghost was seen, and these people dared to walk from the left. Be careful! The road to the left is full of monsters and madmen, so don't be careless." Remember, don’t make enemies easily with those warriors and mercenaries. Guys who dare to ask for money from monsters are all life-threatening lunatics. Such people are not afraid of death, so don’t provoke them."
Yan Dongchen looked around at everyone with a solemn expression and continued: "We must be careful during this trip and not take it lightly. Remember not to miss important events just for the sake of temporary anger." Everyone nodded, knowing the importance of the task and did not dare to There is no slack at all.
"yes!"
"Let's go!"
…
The three-headed saber-toothed rhinoceros walked slowly and gracefully by the stream. Its silver back shone dazzlingly in the sun, like a silver dragon, beautiful and deadly. There were two sword-like fangs hanging from the corners of its mouth, revealing a breathtaking and ferocious aura. Those brown eyes the size of fists sometimes flashed with a fierce light, making people afraid to look directly. The hard mud on its body has formed a layer of hard natural armor, and its hardness can even exceed the sharpness of an ordinary sword.
It lowered its head from time to time, took a sip of the clear stream water, and then looked around by the stream, its eyes full of desire for prey. By the stream, it felt the crisis of survival and longed for the flesh and blood of its prey. It knows that in this dangerous land, it needs to constantly look for prey to maintain its vitality.
In the trees not far from the three-headed saber-toothed rhinoceros, Luo Jing and a group of warriors carefully watched the huge monster beast. Their faces were full of seriousness and vigilance, fearing that their every move would disturb this terrifying monster. Luo Jing stared at the saber-toothed rhinoceros, his palms already covered with sweat. He knew that if the saber-toothed rhinoceros attacked them, most of them would not be spared.
It wasn't until the three-headed saber-toothed rhino slowly left that Luo Jing breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and said to everyone: "The saber-toothed rhinoceros is a third-level monster, with strength comparable to a warrior in the Qi Condensation Realm. This kind of monster moves quickly and fiercely. Moreover, the fangs at the corners of the mouth are extremely sharp. Once hit by it, it will be difficult for low-level warriors to escape, and they will either die or be disabled!" After hearing Luo Jing's words, everyone nodded, their faces full of awe of the saber-toothed rhinoceros.
Chen Fan's cold eyes kept staring at the saber-toothed rhinoceros that was slowly disappearing, with a hint of eagerness on his face. In his heart, he was full of curiosity and desire to challenge this level three monster.
"The goal of our trip is to protect Xiaodie, not to hunt the monsters here. I hope everyone will keep this in mind and don't create unnecessary problems." Luo Jing seemed to see through Chen Fan's thoughts. Although his tone It's plain, but it reveals an unquestionable majesty.
Chen Fan grinned and nodded to show that he understood. Although his heart was filled with the desire to fight, he also knew that protecting Xiaodie was the most important task in this operation.
…
Night fell unconsciously.
Beside a large tree with lush leaves by the stream, Qian Jin and the other three people spread out, observing the surrounding environment vigilantly in case monsters suddenly appeared.
Chen Fan sat on the damp ground with a solemn expression.
A strong desire to kill lingered in his heart like smoke, making him feel the urge to vent. The essence obtained from the two Pluto envoys had reached the critical moment of purification, and he felt a little irritable.
Luo Jing always stood beside Mu Ge, staring at Chen Fan with a frown, fearing that Chen Fan would do something unusual.
Mu Ge looked indifferent and looked at Chen Fan for a while. Seeing that the expression on Chen Fan's face gradually turned ferocious, he slowly sat down cross-legged, placed the guqin on his slender legs, and started playing.
The sound of the piano sounded, and the irritable thoughts rising in Chen Fan's heart seemed to be resolved by a cool force, and gradually disappeared from the bottom of his heart.
Chen Fan held his breath, concentrated, and practiced Zhou Tian.
An hour later, a warm current surged out of the acupoints all over his body.
This warm current was like small rivers flowing between his flesh and bones, bringing an unusually comfortable feeling. He could clearly feel that wherever this warm current passed, his body was undergoing subtle changes.
His muscles became tighter and his strength seemed to be growing at an incredible rate. His bones also became tougher, as if they could withstand greater pressure. His blood became clearer and flowed faster, bringing more oxygen and nutrients, making his body full of vitality.
He was surprised to find that he could clearly feel every cell, every organ, and even every nerve in his body. This feeling surprised him and made him extremely excited.
He knew that this was the change that had occurred in his body after receiving this strange power.
"boom!"
Chen Fan suddenly jumped up from the ground and quickly looked around, his face full of surprise. His body was undergoing strange changes, and his exposed arms began to turn black and gray, as hard as steel.
He felt dizzy and his brain was buzzing. The scene in front of me became blurry, and time seemed to have frozen. Chen Fan hurriedly mobilized his mind to restore his body from the state of an iron block to the normal color of skin and flesh.
Luo Jing and Mu Ge were hiding behind a tree not far away and whispering, completely unaware of anything unusual on Chen Fan's side. He was secretly glad and couldn't help but laugh to himself.
However, Chen Fan's heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and an indescribable excitement appeared in his mind.
Chen Fan clenched his fists. He could feel the power surging in his body, which was the awakening of his "Iron Martial Spirit". This martial spirit is the symbol of the Chen family and the proof of his identity. He had always thought that he did not have this martial soul. It was not until he broke through to the Qi Gathering realm that this martial soul suddenly awakened, which made him ecstatic.
He knew that this "iron martial spirit" would help him in battle. After the martial soul awakens, his body is as hard as iron, but it does not affect his sensitivity, which will make him more powerful in battle.
However, this is not his only martial spirit. He had long known that there was an "immortal martial spirit" in his body that could restore itself. These two martial spirits complemented each other, and he could not imagine how powerful his body would become if he cultivated them to the extreme.
"I really didn't expect that a martial spirit could awaken after the age of seventeen," Chen Fan pondered, "This is incredible. Could it be related to the blood in the blood pool and the changes in the acupuncture points of the body?"
He vaguely felt that the awakening of the iron mass and the immortal martial spirit in his body seemed to be related to the changes that occurred in the acupuncture points of his body when he soaked in the blood pool.
When Chen Fan thought of this possibility, he was so excited that he could not help but roar loudly to express his inner ecstasy.
Martial spirits are innate and usually appear soon after a warrior is born. At the same time, they will gradually become stronger as the warrior's realm improves. Apart from this, there are almost no other ways for martial souls to grow.
Martial spirit is the most proud talent of a warrior, and it is also a key factor in determining a warrior's strength. Warriors practice painstakingly and seek breakthroughs in order to grow their martial souls. However, the growth of Wuhun is limited after all and will be subject to various restrictions.
In Fengyue Continent, even the legendary god-level alchemists can only barely refine elixirs that are effective against common martial spirits. These elixirs can be said to be the rarest and most precious artifacts on the entire continent, existing only in legends.
However, even those legendary elixirs have very limited effects on enhancing martial spirits. Wuhun is a talent given by God and cannot be easily changed.
But the strange warm current overflowing from the acupuncture points of Chen Fan's body seems to break the common sense of heaven and earth. It seems that it can really catalyze the martial spirit and enhance this innate ability!
