Lead clouds cover the sky, leaving no gaps.
Only when the strong wind roars can the thick clouds be blown away, and then the dim light falls down, coating the earth with a layer of decadent dusk. Together with the roars of unknown beasts, people can truly feel the environment of the world. of mutations.
After a while, it started to fog.
Lu Zhong had to slow down his flying speed to avoid accidentally hitting something.
The benefits of practicing Tianluo Mysterious Childhood Technique are reflected.
With this technique, he can easily see the scenery thousands of feet away and better detect potential threats. If it were other monks, it would be difficult to move forward on the ground, not to mention flying.
And Lu Zhong also found out.
The emergence of the dry tide may be a catastrophe for the human race, causing tens of thousands of people in the Southern Barbarians to die at the hands of evil spirits every day for one reason or another.
Sometimes even monks are not immune.
But for monsters and other creatures, evil spirits seem to be just a missing part of their daily lives, and they will not have much impact when they return.
"Perhaps this is the normal cycle of this world..." Lu Zhong finally understood.
After the human race received the immortal inheritance, they relied on the cultivation of the immortal inheritance to obtain powerful military force, and then they forcibly eliminated the evil spirits that were harmful to themselves from this cycle for millions of years.
Is it really?
He felt that if he wanted to know the correct answer, he might have to go to the original missionary place of the immortal.
Recall the scene there.
Maybe we can find out the truth.
After all, it's not something he can do now to stop thinking about it.
As we continued flying, the sky became darker.
Lu Zhong casually struck a thunderbolt from his palm, killing a half-man, half-animal evil spirit blocking the way, and continued on his way in the darkness. With the magic of Tianluo, there was no difference between day and night to him.
Suddenly I felt a warning sign!
"Hush, rest, rest!" A series of voices broke through the air.
Lu Zhong moved his body slightly, drawing an exaggerated arc, easily dodging the swarms of spikes shooting at him. At the same time, he shot out swarms of golden needles with a shake of his hand. However, it was the "Golden Jade Mother Needle", the magic weapon he had obtained earlier, that instantly transformed. A rain of light filled the sky, covering the place where the spikes came from.
He was not idle after that, as starlight gathered on his body.
astrology;
Flying star air entrainment technique.
As for the Emerging Star Seal on the dragon pattern robe, it was turned on early in the morning in order to reduce the mana consumption during flight.
At the same time, light rain fell to the ground.
The sound of "puff" kept coming.
The transformed golden needle sank into the ground, covering hundreds of feet of ground, and soon forced out the sneak attack. It was a mountain-like monster covered with thorns. It looked slightly similar to an ordinary hedgehog, but it had a long thorn. Horned cow head.
When screaming, "Moo!"
Lu Zhong didn't care about this third-level "bull-headed badger". It was strangely weak, and his attention was entirely focused on the bull's head at the moment.
The white mist filled the place, and a skinny figure stood standing in the mud. With the help of Tianluo Mi Tong, he could see clearly. His face was completely made of moss, silt, and branches. He was wearing a tattered robe, and he looked like he had just been there. It was unearthed not long ago and exudes unabashed and strong malice.
"Is this also evil?"
Lu Zhong was slightly surprised and raised his hand to send it a "Thunder Swamp".
Since he received the tribulation thunder, there have been several mysterious lines on the Jiamu Lei Seal. The effect is that the power of the thunder method is inexplicably enhanced, and it has a hint of tribulation thunder.
The evil spirit probably didn't expect that the prey he was eyeing could actually use thunder. It didn't even have time to scream, and was blown to pieces by the thunder marsh, and the "cow-headed badger" also suffered.
Half of the head was smashed into pieces, and the huge body fell to the ground.
After a while, two good muscles were taken out.
Lu Zhong checked it and made sure that there was no evil power inside, and then accepted it with confidence, preparing to eat it after entering the Western Region.
Then he took out the ox-headed badger demon pill.
"Deflated?"
He speculated that it might be because the bull badger was controlled by evil spirits.
If a monk is possessed, the sea of qi will also be exhausted, or the essence will be sucked dry. After all, evil spirits must eat something if they want to maintain their existence.
Looking at the scenery on the ground, Lu Zhong quickly arrived near the Poisonous Insect Valley.
Compared with last time, the territory of the green-spotted ghost insect has not increased but decreased, and the number of individuals has also dropped significantly. Judging from the destroyed poisonous marsh and insect shell fragments, it should have been a conflict with some monster.
This is normal. After all, every expansion of the insect swarm means the reduction of the living space of other monsters. Territory issues are basically a life-and-death conflict. In the past, the expansion of the insect swarm was very smooth, so that the territory could be expanded from the original Poisonous Insect Valley.
But this time, the green-spotted ghost bug seems to have encountered a tough problem.
Following the traces of the fight on the ground, Lu Zhong discovered that the monster was heading straight for the Poisonous Insect Valley, probably with the intention of even getting rid of the pot.
As he got closer and closer to the Poisonous Insect Valley, unprocessed insect corpses began to appear in the poisonous swamp, and the number was increasing rapidly, and soon it became a carpet of insect corpses.
"Could it be that the insect swarm was really wiped out?" He couldn't help but think of this.
Only approach Poisonous Insect Valley when you are sure it is safe.
Most of the insect nests that originally stood there were destroyed by fire and water. Now only two are still standing. There are cracks everywhere on them. A large number of green-spotted ghost insects are coming in and out, and the nest walls are being repaired.
From this point of view, it is obvious that the final result is a tragic victory for the swarm.
The corpse of the invading monster fell to the bottom of the Poisonous Insect Valley.
Lu Zhong went down carefully and found that it hit the top of the underground palace without any bias.
Not the Yantooth beast as expected.
It was a huge demonic beast covered in tree scale-like black armor and more than thirty feet long. It looked a bit like an elongated armadillo, with three ferocious snake heads growing on its slender neck.
Judging from the poisonous blood flowing out of its mouth, this monster must have been poisoned to death.
"Can't you recognize it? It's a rare alien monster?" Lu Zhong used the incarnation of the sect to sneak into Changchun Valley, but he read through all the classics that the sect opened to low-level disciples, including There are classic books on monster identification, but I still can't figure out the origin of this monster.
At this moment, he let out a light sigh.
I saw something that looked like a placenta and an umbilical cord.
Is this a trace of production?
When Lu Zhong thought of this possibility, his heart suddenly moved.
Scene review.
A filled earth hole was soon found.
"Not stupid."
Continuing to track, he came to the palace where the teleportation array was located. He was not surprised by this. After all, the ashes of the Yantooth Beast had been scattered here, and the green-spotted ghost insects would instinctively avoid this place, so they were not interested in the newborn cubs. It is definitely the safest refuge.
"Hey!" A weird, threatening cry sounded from a corner of the underground palace.
What could be clearly seen was a cub that looked similar to the monster beast outside, but only had a snake head and was white and reddish in color. It sounded like a strong-willed beast but was cowering in the corner in fear.
Ignoring it, Lu Zhong nervously looked at the teleportation array. Seeing that there was no teleportation array without any damage, he breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help looking at the cub in anger.
"If you bite me, I'll eat stew today!"
After threatening him fiercely, he began to think about how to deal with this little thing.
Raising a spiritual animal?
This is the only way to deal with it.
This little thing looks fierce, so it is a good choice to suppress the mountain gate. And judging from the fact that its biological mother almost destroyed the green-spotted ghost insect swarm, its strength will not be bad when it grows up.
The Bihai Clan has a huge business, so it’s not something they can’t afford to support.
keep!
No time for enlightenment.
It was a direct beating.
Faced with life and death, the cub chose to surrender.
After taking out another spirit beast contract and signing it according to the procedure, Lu Zhong added another spirit beast and temporarily put it in the empty spirit beast bag to avoid being crushed to death during the teleportation.
Give it a name by the way.
Since the birth mother looked like Jiu Ying and could only call "Ying Ying", she simply named her "Jiu Ying".
After completing preparations, he activated the teleportation array with the movement order.
There was a flash of spiritual light, and the whole person disappeared.
…
The Western Region is becoming increasingly depressing.
The sky is an unchanging dark red, and the ground is covered with decayed matter. It is also a bloody red. There is not a trace of life, and not a single living creature can be seen.
To be honest, Lu Zhong really hoped that evil spirits would appear at this moment.
It's a pity that in this hellish place like the Western Territory, the corrosion of the scarlet aura is extremely terrifying. Without the protection of Yang Fire, even the evil spirits may not be able to survive.
Since there are no landmarks for reference, he can only rely on direction and forward speed to calculate his current location and how far it is to reach the Shanshan Zhou.
Passing through Yanhufang City on the way.
But the place was already empty of people, and it didn't look like it was destroyed by external forces. Combined with the smoked lake where there weren't many fish, and the high concentration of scarlet aura in the ruins.
Bidige
Lu Zhong quickly concluded that the monks here should have migrated away.
Moreover, the migration is still planned.
Along the route, you can see many temporary supply stations.
Considering that business was more important, he did not go looking for the migrating monks. Instead, he found a place in the ruins. After setting up the formation restraint, he began to eliminate the erosion of the scarlet aura.
After finishing, let Jiu Ying out to breathe.
Seeing it "hissing" and sucking in the Ziyouji Fire with a satisfied look, Lu Zhong couldn't help but become more curious about its origins.
He took out a blood energy pill and fed it, and the little guy swallowed it in one gulp accurately.
"Hiccup~"
It burped, and wisps of blood flames spurted out from its nostrils.
After eating and feeding, the cub immediately became very close to Lu Zhong and began to lean in and rub against him. From time to time, it would raise its head and look at him curiously, its dark eyes full of puzzlement and confusion.
After feeding another blood energy pill, Lu Zhong didn't care about it anymore, but took the pill to refine his energy.
As long as there is time, daily homework cannot be left behind.
At dawn, Lu Zhong returned to the ground.
Keep on your way.
Traveling in the lonely and uninhabited Western Region is really a kind of torture for the soul.
Fortunately, his state of mind had only changed once not long ago, so there was no problem for a while. He concentrated on his way and collected two more double-tailed spiral crystals.
When the corruption is almost accumulated, Lu Zhong will dig a hole underground to rest.
Going back and forth in this way, we soon arrived at the place where the mountain-shaking boat was.
It had not been seen for a long time, and the rotten matter had completely covered it. Lu Zhong also searched for a while before he found the boat buried in the rotten matter.
I have to praise the shipbuilding skills of the Middle-earth once again. In the Western Territory where the scarlet corruption is so serious, the Shanshan Ship can still remain intact. Only the surface armor plate has corrosion marks. The important parts are still as smooth as new and as built. That's when it's done.
He took the familiar route to the energy cabin, put the prepared high-grade spiritual stones into the slot, then turned around and entered the cardinal room, where he also installed the Soul Wind Crystal, and Shanshanzhou suddenly "revived" again.
"Success or failure is up to you!" Lu Zhong looked at the token in his hand with a slightly solemn gaze. He inserted it into a groove of the floating cardinal and immediately saw a bright light erupting.
The bright light goes away just as quickly as it comes.
Accompanied by a low "buzzing" sound, the boat regained its power.
Then the hull of the ship trembled, and he pulled himself out of the rotten object, quickly adjusted his posture, and then floated quietly in mid-air.
"OK, successful?" Lu Zhong was overjoyed.
Immediately, he flicked his sleeves and released a figure, but it was Yin Li, his fighting incarnation.
"Leave it to me." Yin Li nodded to Lu Zhong. He had already studied the maintenance manual carefully when he was in Nanman. Later, he got the operation manual compiled by Qi Yun and basically mastered the essentials of controlling the Shanshan Zhou.
Since there is no weapon spirit to assist, the mountain-shaking boat is entirely controlled by the monk's spiritual consciousness.
To do this, you only need to sit at the main console, and then insert your spiritual consciousness into the control panel in front of you. This panel is entirely made of silver essence and functions as the center of the formation.
With this, all restrictions and magic circles on the ship can be controlled.
Then, according to the combination of different formation restrictions, the effect of controlling the flight and advancement of the mountain-shaking boat and firing can be achieved.
"First, self-inspect the damage of the entire ship." Yin Li issued an order.
In about half a quarter of an hour, the self-test results came out.
Not optimistic.
The violent removal of Yunlong's secret lock caused huge damage to Shanshanzhou.
The main and secondary defense arrays, which can withstand the attack of the True Lord Nascent Soul, have exceeded the level 4 protective sect formation, as well as the Hunyuan Cannon and other parts. They have been seriously damaged and require time and effort to repair.
For some damage locations, Yin Li concluded that they were caused by man-made damage.
Lu Zhong had already expected this.
Judging from the results, it can still fly now. Thanks to the scumbags of Zhenyangzong for their "mercy", multiple sets of spare floating circuits were designed on the Shanshan boat. Now they are all intact, and there is also a spare one. The protective array prevents the ship from being exposed to the harsh environment outside.
Yin Li activated the magic circle.
"Zi la!"
A pale yellow oval shield appeared, making bursts of crackling sounds from time to time, but it was caused by the erosion of scarlet spiritual energy, which would lead to the rapid consumption of spiritual energy.
Handing the incarnation a bag of spirit stones, Lu Zhong confessed: "Fly towards Ningyunfang in the West Extreme Sword Territory. I want to find out what happened there. Remember to calculate the remaining amount of spirit stones and save a certain amount of spirit stones for the return trip. Yu Yu, I don’t want to abandon the ship when the time comes and fly back with only my physical body.”
Yin Li nodded, and then concentrated on controlling the mountain-shaking boat.
The behemoth, more than 600 feet long, began to emit a long trail of spiritual light, and its speed soon increased to more than 3,000 miles per hour, which was only slightly slower than the propagation of sound.
This is the speed limit of the backup array.
Taking up the billowing clouds, the rocking boat flew towards its destination quickly.
