"Why?" Seeing that the two people were talking more and more magically, Lu Yunyou, who had just learned about the spirit stone core, quickly asked.
"Because the spirit crystal is the best realm-breaking pill in the world. It can be taken by anyone regardless of their level of cultivation. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth contained in the crystal core is very pure and will not have any negative impact on the body of a martial artist." Jun Wucheng was the one who replied. .
"Then have you ever seen the spirit crystal?" I had heard of Breaking the Realm Dan, but this was the first time I heard about the spirit crystal, and Lu Yunyou was really curious.
"Of course I haven't seen it before. That kind of thing can even help high-level martial arts practitioners improve their realm. How can low-level martial arts cultivators like us be able to see it?" Jun Wucheng shook his head and replied directly.
"Can spiritual crystals also turn seventh-level martial arts cultivators into eighth-level martial arts cultivators?" Looking at the entire Chaos Ridge, there is generally only one eighth-level martial arts cultivator in a city, and only slightly larger cities may have two eighth-level martial arts cultivators. Martial arts cultivators, a small city like Wuyang City did not even have an eighth-level martial arts cultivator. Think about it, it was precisely because they did not have an eighth-level martial arts cultivator that the Lu family ended up being surrounded and suppressed by the other three major forces. Lu Yunyou had no idea about this. The answer to the question is very curious.
If the Lu family had an eighth-level martial arts cultivator in charge, then the Lu family would definitely be able to secure its position as the largest family in Wuyang City, and there would be no danger of genocide.
Facing Lu Yunyou's inquiry, Jun Wucheng, who was in high spirits, suddenly fell silent. Although the spiritual crystal is a rare treasure in the world, it is not a rare existence. It is okay to help martial cultivators enter the seventh level, but It was absolutely impossible to help Wu Xiu enter the ranks of saints, so he could only shake his head at Lu Yunyou.
After getting the answer, Lu Yunyou didn't find it strange. It sounds like the spirit stone crystal core is rare, but its effect is limited. However, it should be no problem to help the martial arts cultivator improve to a small level. Because of this, he can think of the mine. The people on the other side of the field will definitely fight to death over the spirit stone core.
Unfortunately, with the strength of the three of them, even if the spiritual crystal appeared in front of them, they were completely unqualified to participate in the fight.
"Let's keep running." After resting for a while, Jun Wucheng, who had recovered some of his strength, urged the two of them to start because he was worried about being caught up. Now they wanted to go farther away from the mine.
Regardless of direction, the three of them kept running deeper into the forest. The further they went, the more they felt something was wrong, because the road conditions around them were completely different from when they came, and the forest was too quiet to feel any life. The farther they went, the higher the terrain became. , recalling the way they came, the three of them suddenly felt something bad, and then slowed down their pace one after another, and then observed the surrounding situation while walking.
It was getting late, but the three of them were completely unable to determine where they were. They only remembered that when a fork in the road appeared, they seemed to have chosen a different direction from the route they came from.
"We seem to be running in the wrong direction," the three of them, hungry and worried that they were going the wrong way, stopped immediately.
"Should we keep going forward or turn back?" Seeing that it was getting late, it was not an option for them to keep going forward. For the sake of safety, Jun Wucheng asked them directly what they meant.
"Let's rest in the forest tonight, and let's find something to eat first." After confirming that they were heading south, towards the Shigu Mountains, Ling Yun had no intention of continuing to move forward.
"We didn't even encounter a ferocious beast just now, where are we going to find food?" Being in the wilderness, the only thing Lu Yunyou could think of was hunting ferocious beasts, but along the way, he really didn't see one.
"Yeah, this forest is so desolate and secluded, it really doesn't seem like there's anything to eat," Jun Wucheng then nodded in agreement.
"If I had known this, I should have grabbed some food before running!" Thinking about the current situation, Jun Wucheng sighed again.
"We should have been running south before, are we going to continue going south now?"
…
You said something to each other, and although they had gotten rid of the threat behind them, the three of them were not very optimistic about the current situation, especially when they were hungry.
"How about we look around in the forest to see if there are any wild fruits we can eat?" This was how he solved the food problem before meeting Ling Yun and the others. Thinking of this, Lu Yunyou suddenly made a suggestion full of hope.
"Autumn has passed. Where can I get the fruits for you to eat? I think you should eat the leaves." He rolled his eyes at Lu Yunyou angrily, and then because he spoke too hard, Jun Wucheng suddenly felt a pain in his abdomen. After calculating, They haven't eaten for almost a day.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Lu Yunyou couldn't help but feel embarrassed for a while as he gained new insights. Then he also remembered that Ling Yun had told him before that it was difficult to find wild fruits and vegetables to eat in winter.
"How about we search separately? We'll meet here in a quarter of an hour." Seeing that the two of them were confused, Ling Yun had no choice but to suggest this in order to find food as soon as possible.
"It's a good idea, but this place is too remote. It's so secluded that it makes people's hair stand on end. Moreover, our current physical condition is not good. I think it's best not to spread out." I had already thought of this idea and looked around again. Jun Wucheng directly rejected the proposal.
"Brother Jun is right, we'd better not separate." In the wilderness, if you encounter a vicious beast, you won't be able to deal with it alone. Moreover, the woods around them are so quiet, and there is an aura of danger everywhere. Even if they have to Even though he was hungry, Lu Yunyou still felt that it was best for them to stay together.
"If we really can't find anything to eat, let's find a safe place to rest for the night and then look around tomorrow morning." By now, Jun Wucheng had already made plans not to eat tonight.
"What Brother Jun said makes sense, why don't we just rest where we are for the night?" After walking and running all day, Lu Yunyou was very tired now. If the problem of starvation was ignored, he fully agreed with Jun Wucheng's proposal.
"No," when both of them looked at him, Ling Yun denied it: "The night is too long and we haven't eaten for a day. If we feel hungry in the middle of the night, we really have to eat leaves. Now, I think we should try our best to look around in the forest before it gets dark, and if it doesn’t work, we can rest.”
"Besides, we have to guard against ferocious beasts at night. We have to ensure that our physical condition is not too bad." After a day of tossing, Ling Yun is naturally very tired. Ling Yun doesn't want to stop and rest directly, but solving the food problem is more important to them. Now they are already in On the edge of the Ancient Mountains, there is a possibility of encountering ferocious beasts at any time. If you don't have the strength to deal with the ferocious beasts, that will be a big problem.
Seeing that what Ling Yun said made sense, both Lu Yunyou and Lu Yunyou, who had originally planned to stop and rest, overturned their original thoughts. They could indeed endure it for a while, but they might not be able to survive the whole night, let alone fend off the ferocious beasts. Attack, given their current physical condition, it is really not appropriate to stop and rest directly.
After discussing, the three set off again, walking side by side. In order to maximize the search area, the three deliberately kept a little distance apart and walked forward.
The forest was always extremely quiet, without the sound of any ferocious beasts. The further they walked, the more weeds in the forest became, and the pace of the three of them became slower. From a distance apart, the three of them could only determine their approximate positions, because The sky was getting darker and darker. After continuing to search for a while, the three of them no longer had much hope of finding food. However, the feeling of hunger still prompted them to move forward. Even after nightfall, the three of them still did not give up.
The moonlight was like water, and the three people who had gained nothing were so hungry that they were dizzy and staggered when they walked, looking like they might fall down at any time.
Most of the forest was dark, with only the moonlight shining through the area where things could be vaguely seen. Worried about being hungry and unable to deal with the ferocious beasts, the three of them continued walking forward with the idea of never giving up until they found food.
In the opinion of the three of them, it might be difficult to encounter ferocious beasts at the edge of the mountains, so they went deeper, but in fact the environment in the forest was no longer suitable for them to continue searching.
"Do you think those trees in front of you look a little weird?" Another half an hour later, Lu Yunyou was so tired that his legs and feet ached. He no longer wanted to take another step forward, but the strange scene in front of him still cheered him up and repeatedly confirmed his After he got it right, he pointed out his findings to the other two people.
Following what Lu Yunyou pointed out, Jun Wucheng and Ling Yun looked forward one after another, and saw some strange-looking trees one after another, which were different from the trees they saw when they came.
Driven by strong curiosity, the three of them cautiously moved closer. From a few meters away, the scene in front of them became more realistic.
The main trunks of those trees are straight, but the branches wrapped around the trunks are mostly curved and spiral around the trunks very regularly, making the whole tree look very strange.
