The Forsaken Wilderness is located in the extreme north of the earth. It is a vast and vast primeval forest. Its vast territory is comparable to several star-catching plains.
There is no human habitation here, there are numerous historical sites, and its species are numerous and all-encompassing.
There are many rare treasures and elixirs that have never been found in ancient times. Strange flowers that choose people to eat and exotic herbs that seal one's throat at the sight of blood grow happily.
There are also weird people who drink blood, violent beasts and natural selection. It is even said that even elegant and agile elves and beautiful monsters are thriving here.
In today's world, cultivation is becoming popular, and the wilderness has never been lonely since it became a treasure trove for cultivators.
People come and go, creating a smoky atmosphere everywhere. The creatures in the peripheral areas are disturbed and have to migrate to the center of the ancient land.
Perhaps, these creatures were bullied so badly by the cultivators that they finally joined forces to fight against them.
No one remembers how many reckless ghosts died in it. They only know that from then on, cultivators basically traveled together and only collected herbs at the edge of the forest. After many years, their relationship became somewhat harmonious.

Yan Ci slept happily.
The wide and long passage with flowing nebulae is filled with rare and rare treasures.
Wow! It's so bright and shiny that it's almost dazzling.
He kissed this one and hugged that one, rolling on the floor with joy. When can we finish moving so many treasures?
Its daybreak! But at the happiest moment, he opened his sleepy eyes, feeling full of loss in his heart.
Why! He scratched his chicken coop-like hair and stretched out of habit...
Suddenly, he was in the air and plummeted. In the panic, he had already forgotten all about flying and escaping techniques.
"Bah!" There was a sound.
Yan Ci landed on his butt and was smashed to pieces. It took him a long time to come back to his senses.
After a closer look, it turned out that the place where he had been sleeping soundly just now was just a big tree branch.
Han Bing sat on another tree branch, holding her stomach and laughing so hard that she almost choked. She said with great effort: "Master Yan... the way he got up... is really strange!"
Her smile was really exaggerated, and Yan Ci was feeling sulky, but couldn't help but laugh.
Han Bing's laughter gradually faded, and he floated in front of Yan Ci. He smiled and said, "What are you dreaming about? Holding a tree trunk and making love to each other."
Yan Ci blushed with embarrassment and changed the subject: "Thank you, senior sister, for saving my life!"
Han Bing shook his head and smiled: "Don't show your wrong feelings, it's all Qingluan's fault."
Yan Ci asked curiously: "Hey, how do you say this?"
Han Bing explained: "Those two people carefully covered their tracks on the road. I don't have the ability to continue tracking them."
She wrinkled her nose and continued to smile: "You must have the strange smell of a young unicorn. Qingluan has been with it day and night and has long been familiar with it, so he came all the way to find it."
Yan Ci burst into tears when he heard this, thinking that he would never call Qingluan a flat-haired beast again in the future.
The blue luan bird was perching on an ancient sycamore tree, still looking arrogant, but he didn't know Yan Ci's little thoughts.
Yan Ci spent half a day and finally expelled a trace of the spirit that the powerful man had put into his body. He stood up and looked around, wondering: "The dignified Fanghu Fairy Mountain has actually become Jiuying's magic weapon. Where are we going now?" Already?"
Han Bing walked a few steps and said casually: "The space crack is extremely unstable. Even Qingluan can't control his heart. It is very likely that we have traveled to the wilderness."
Yan Ci said in shock: "How is that possible!"
Han Bing held a towering ancient tree in his hand and said, "Star tree! It's a unique plant in the wilderness!"
This wood has a strange appearance, is extremely hard in texture, and is difficult to damage with axes and knives. It is undoubtedly the star wood recorded in the "Grand View of Herbal Appraisal".
Yan Ci was stunned for a while and then became very happy and said happily: "My dear, this is really a treasure trove for cultivators! You should have a good time shopping around."
All the elixirs he had worked hard to accumulate were plundered by a capable man. Now that he has entered the treasure mountain, he must not return empty-handed.
The breeze blew gently, and there was a rustling sound in the forest. The sunlight was refracted through the shades of the trees, showing a strange and bizarre scene.
Han Bing found a hiding place and sat cross-legged. His body slowly released a slight wave, and his spiritual thoughts spread briskly and secretly to the surrounding areas.
When it was time to drink tea, she opened her eyes and shook her head: "There are few strange animals and flowers in the forest, and they must be in the fringe areas. However, most of the ancient landscapes are similar, and it is difficult to distinguish them carefully."
With the strength of the monks in the fusion stage, it is the limit for their spiritual thoughts to leave the body thousands of meters away.
Yan Ci's cultivation was not as good as Han Bing's, so he just stood by to protect the Dharma with a vigilant expression. Hearing the words, he said: "If you explore all the way south, you will always be closer to the Star Reaching Plain."
Han Bing said: "If this place is north of the center, wouldn't it be more dangerous?"
Yan Ci said: "If it is south of the center, there is no need to worry too much."
Han Bing teased: "The chance of treasure hunting may not be high."
Yan Ci smiled and said: "A small life is more precious, I still understand this truth." After saying that, he walked away, and Han Bing followed closely with a pursed smile.
In this desolate and fertile land, cultivators flocked to it, but no one had ever dared to use the escape technique to fly majestically in the air.
Just because there are many ferocious birds and beasts here, you can still avoid them by hiding in the forest, but they become the target of public criticism at high altitudes. Even the Yingying monks who are extremely skilled in Taoism do not dare to do this kind of behavior of digging their own graves. .
In order to cover their tracks, Yan Ci and Han Bing tried not to damage the low-hanging branches and messy vines, and only used small maneuvering skills to shuttle through the forest.
Suddenly, I came to a mountain, where strange grasses were in full bloom and the aura was swaying.
Yan Ci's eyes shone brightly as he ran and climbed the mountains to dig for the inexhaustible elixir. His heart felt as if he had been thrown into a sugar bowl, it was so sweet that it made him sick!
After walking happily for a few more miles, they sensed a rustling sound from the front. They made a gesture and huddled in the tree nest to watch.
Soon, the sounds in the forest became louder and louder, and two neat and orderly rows of monsters rushed out.
The three sections of the monster's head, chest and abdomen are like watermelons on skewers. It is dressed in black and shiny armor, with two furry tentacles on its head, and six slender and strong legs that make a sound when they hit the ground.
Ant! Yan Ci was dumbfounded.
The wilderness is really extraordinary, even ants can be so fat!
Two rows of ants marched in unison, chewing up the overgrown weeds and vines wherever they passed.
Black evil ants! Yan Ci took a breath of cold air. He had read the description of the black evil ant in "The Record of Mountains and Seas". This is a kind of violent but sincere and united monster. More than ten black evil ants in battle can kill a person. In the later period of Xuanzhao, the monks were overwhelmed.
The most troublesome thing is that the black evil ants are willing to sacrifice themselves in order to defeat the enemy. When they swarm forward, they like to explode their bodies to attack each other. Their body fluids contain extremely poisonous substances, and even cultivators cannot tolerate them calmly.
Yan Cihanbing held her breath and did not dare to move. The ants were already far away.
Suddenly, the forest became quiet, with only the rustling of the wind. The leader of the black evil ants raised their tentacles to explore...
Yan Ci cursed: "Damn the wind!"
Han Bing said: "Let's go quickly, there is a river over there..."
The two of them no longer hesitated, and shot into the distance like an arrow from a string.
When the leader of the black evil ants noticed someone, he flew into a rage and shouted orders repeatedly. After receiving the order, the ants divided into two groups to pursue them.
When he saw a mountain full of black melons rolling around, the speed was no slower than the two people's escape. Yan Ci turned his head and looked at it and secretly complained, his mind changed with the situation, the pheasant emperor's wings suddenly appeared behind him, and he suddenly flapped a few times to escape faster. .
The ants were gradually approaching with long strides, and their long legs exploded behind Yan Ci with one flick.
"Bang bang bang" green smoke filled the air, the stench was pungent, body fluids were sprinkled on the green leaves of the wisteria, and there was a corrosive sound.
Ahead was a rushing river. Yan Ci and Han Bing raised their bodies to cross the water in the air. Several black ants fell into the water before they could catch up, and they screamed unwillingly.
Yan Ci was relieved when he saw this, but he saw the ant colony rushing to the river bank, their legs and feet connected with each other, and they started to build a long bridge in the sky.
Yan Ci let out a long sigh of impatience, and swung out several sword energy to chop at random.
The long bridge collapsed and was rebuilt, and it collapsed again after it was built. This black evil ant actually moved forward bravely and was not discouraged.
Suddenly they saw a mountain branch breaking and a tree swaying in the distance, and the shrill screams of alien beasts could be heard faintly. Yan Ci and the two were worried that this torment would awaken other alien beasts, so they simply set off a spiritual fire on the river bank and continued to escape.
He fled far away, completely throwing away the black evil ants, and landed on a hill with rugged rocks. Several sparse bushes of vegetation drooped under the scorching sun.
Sweat rolled down from his nose, Yan Ci shook his clothes and complained: "This hot sun makes people dizzy."
Perhaps because of the hot weather, Han Bing's face had a strange blush.
She was standing under the shade of a tree enjoying the cool air and said, "The days are long here and the nights are short. I'm afraid it will take a few more hours before it gets dark. You might as well rest here for a while."
Yan Ci licked his lips and said, "Very good, very good. If it continues like this, it will make me extremely hot." He moved his body and squatted in the shade, breathing heavily.
Han Bing blinked, tilted his head and said, "Although I forgot to ask, looking at you, it seems that Luo Yinzhu is still there."
Yan Ci grinned and said, "Don't worry, it's very safe!"
Han Bing breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously: "Could it be that the fairy beads have been completely refined?"
Yan Ci smiled bitterly and said: "It has only been refined a little bit, and that bead likes to play hide and seek." He immediately told Luo Yin Bead about absorbing mana.
Han Bing found it even more strange and asked: "Since Luo Yin Zhu is out of control, even if it is inhaled into the abdomen, it is still a foreign object and cannot escape the spiritual detection of the monk Huaying."
Yan Ci said: "That's the strange thing. Thief Zhu'er will take the initiative to hide his traces, not to mention others. Sometimes even I don't notice it. Several times I thought I lost it."
Han Bing was stunned for a long time, and finally nodded and said: "The things from the Immortal Family are indeed extraordinary."
Yan Ci said: "Do you want to take a look?"
Han Bing said: "Are you willing to do it?"
Yan Ci smiled and said, "Just look, I won't be able to grow wings and fly." After that, he took two steps to grab Han Bing's hand.
Han Bing slapped the back of his hand and scolded: "What a shame!"
Yan Ci said sarcastically: "There is a cave inside Luoyin Pearl, so I can take you in."
Han Bing was stunned when he heard this, held Yan Ci's sleeves, and said with a sweet smile: "Please, Master Yan."
Yan Ci gave a bitter smile, looked inside his body with his spiritual thoughts, and probed towards Luo Yinzhu. Their figures were slightly hazy, and then disappeared without a trace.
The scorching sun is still scorching, the vegetation is lingering, and only the noisy cicadas are chirping tirelessly.
