Chapter 27 [Out of the clouds]
This tide of beasts came very suddenly, Ge Xian muttered in his heart, but his steps were not slow at all. He used his speed to the extreme, led the fat rat directly to a towering tree, and then stepped directly on the trunk of the tree, his body almost Parallel to the ground, he ran up slowly.
The fat rat on his shoulder also jumped onto the tree trunk, faster than him, and jumped into the clouds with a chirp.
About a quarter of an hour later, Ge Xian stopped, and Fat Rat returned to his shoulder. Both the rats and the rats lowered their heads and looked down.
The area below was partially obscured by clouds and fog, and one could only vaguely see the running and colliding figures of countless ferocious beasts and monsters. They all seemed to be afraid of some terrible existence.
A loud roar came from far away. Ge Xian looked up and saw that the fat rat on his shoulder was already trembling all over and hiding in his chest.
A few miles away, a towering shadow loomed in the clouds. Following this roar, a circle of air waves radiated directly, affecting a range of 100 meters. Under the induction of Ge Xian's spiritual consciousness, all ferocious beasts and monsters affected by the air waves were It kept falling down, covering a large area once it fell, but the plant was fine and seemed not to be harmed.
Ge Xian found that the hearts and meridians of these fallen beasts and monsters had been shattered, and they died instantly.
"This... what kind of terrifying monster is this?" Ge Xian looked at the tall shadow in confusion and asked involuntarily.
The fat rat in his arms squeaked, seeming to convey what he knew about the situation.
Since Ge Xian ate those fruits, the communication with the monsters became smoother. At this time, under the strange telepathy, he roughly understood some of the situation.
It turns out that this terrifying monster is the king of this jungle country. No monster knows its origin, but due to its existence, this jungle is shrouded in fog all year round, and no monster is its opponent, making all monsters feel fear. He is privately called "The Lord of Clouds and Mists" by these monsters.
Ge Xian held the tree trunk and looked into the distance, and found that the Cloud and Mist Lord was actually a big snake, but his length was probably as high as a thousand-foot mountain. With its size and strength alone, it could definitely kill many monsters in an instant.
Moreover, it seems to be good at cloud and mist spells. Although it is not yet known how powerful this spell is, judging from its range, its impact is several miles, and a deafening roar can kill a large area, which is an absolute overlord level.
The monsters and ferocious beasts below finally "calmed down". What surprised Ge Xian was that such a powerful roar had almost no impact on the trees, flowers and grass. It also made Ge Xian, Fat Rat, and other smart monsters Escaped this disaster.
Lord Yunwu left, as if the emperor was inspecting his territory, and he was just passing by.
Ge Xian and Fat Rat got off the big tree and saw an extremely strange scene when they landed on the ground.
It was like suddenly entering a wax museum. There were hundreds of monsters and ferocious beasts, motionless and maintaining the same movements and postures as when they were alive. Some were terrified, some were pushing and pushing, some were showing ferocious expressions, and some were facing danger. Those who are unwilling to give up before death can take various forms.
Ge Xian took out a stone and fired it at the nearest monster. With a bang, the monster's entire body shattered into pieces and turned into a pool of flesh and blood.
He tried a few more, and they were all the same. The Yunwu Tianjun was indeed extraordinary. It killed instantly when it appeared. Ge Xian hoped that he would never encounter it again.
"Squeak..." Fat Rat yelled, lying on a velociraptor-like monster, sniffed it, and called out to Ge Xian.
Ge Xian's ears suddenly pricked up, he came to the monster, found the fat mouse's location, and then asked: "Are you sure this is here?"
"Zhizhi..." Fat Rat nodded, Ge Xian let it go, then took a deep breath, wrapped his hands with spiritual power, penetrated where Fat Rat was, and took it out.
The skin and shell of the monster became very soft after death, and Ge Xian could break it easily. At this moment, his hands only felt dazed, and he tried hard to hold back his breath without vomiting. If it were not for the possible harvest, He wouldn't do that.
Finally, he stopped and found what he wanted, and there was more than one piece. When he stretched out his hands from the monster's body, there were a few more stone-like things on his bloody hands.
When he came to a plant, the wide leaves were full of dew. The fat mouse jumped on it and used his own weight to push down the tips of the leaves to form a water flow. After a while of cleaning, Ge Xian had a few round ones on his hands. bead.
"Spirit stones? They seem to be purer than the ones I got from the fish demon before, and the color is yellower. Could it be that the properties of the spirit stones are also different?" Ge Xian took these spirit stones, or rather the ones in the monster's body. He put away the stone, and when he saw the disappointed fat mouse, he took out another one and threw it to it.
Suddenly, the fat rat happily swallowed it into his mouth, swallowing it without even chewing, making a satisfied sound.
"Is this spiritual stone also useful to you?" Ge Xian asked curiously.
The fat rat barked for a while, to the effect that it could only absorb the spirit stones formed in monsters or animals and plants, and in the eyes of the monsters, they turned them into inner elixirs. By devouring the inner elixirs, they could achieve the purpose of evolving and becoming stronger, so many monsters use The goal is to swallow the inner elixir and hunt other monsters, but the formation rate of this inner elixir is very low, reaching a ratio of nearly one thousandth.
Only then did Ge Xian understand that it turned out that the monster called the spiritual stone formed in the body the inner elixir. However, this thing was also of great use to him. Its quality surpassed that of low-grade ones, and was even better than the original one before. .
So one person and one mouse searched for the inner elixirs in the dead monsters. After searching for them all, they collected a total of about twenty elixirs. The fat mouse mixed four or five elixirs and was already satisfied.
Ge Xian and Fat Rat continued to advance towards the distant mountain peak. At this time, the monster beasts that had originally escaped returned one after another, just in time to avoid them.
Two hours later, Ge Xian and Fat Rat finally arrived at the unknown mountain peak in front of them. This mountain peak was layered on top of each other, like a quilt, spiraling upwards and towering into the clouds. It was unknown where the top was.
Fat Rat told him that these peaks are called "Tongtian Peak" by the monsters. It is said that on some peaks, as long as you insist on climbing up, you can leave here and reach a new world.
Unfortunately, the monsters can't seem to climb to the top, so no monster knows whether the legend is true.
Ge Xian had no other choice but to take a gamble.
With the support of his spiritual power, and the relatively sufficient spiritual stones and inner elixirs in his body, Ge Xian is not afraid of challenges.
For some reason, Fat Rat fell into a deep sleep after taking a few inner elixirs. Ge Xian had no choice but to stuff the "oil bottle" into his pocket, button it up, and start running along the mountain.
The gradient at the beginning was okay, just a little strenuous, but after running for an hour, the gradient unknowingly became very steep, making him feel strenuous, and it was also difficult for his body to straighten his back, and he had to bend down. Sometimes you even have to use your hands and feet.
Huhu...
The wind began to increase and the temperature dropped, coupled with the clouds and humidity, making Ge Xian feel very uncomfortable.
So while climbing, he speeded up the operation of his skills, using the spiritual power flowing through his meridians to create heat and dry the wet clothes. The effect was quite good.
After climbing continuously for nearly twenty hours, Ge Xian felt exhausted. At this time, ordinary breathing was already very difficult. It was predicted that the altitude might reach nearly three thousand meters. It would become more and more uncomfortable as he went up. He had to use both his hands and feet. OK.
At this time, he had to take into account the fact that he would be late and might be discovered by his family, which made him a little anxious.
Fortunately, after these few months of practice, his state of mind has been greatly tempered, and his emotions can still be suppressed.
Sitting cross-legged and entering a meditative posture, as he began to practice and rest, the rich spiritual energy around him began to be quickly absorbed by him, forming a faint fluorescence, which penetrated directly from his Baihui point and was then refined.
Compared to before, since he was promoted to the fourth level, he found that the speed at which he absorbed spiritual energy had increased significantly.
After a few weeks, his energy and energy reached a full level again. At this time, a hidden mantra emerged, causing his eyelids to jump rapidly and his eyeballs to rotate rapidly. Ge Xian fell into a state of unconscious understanding.
Half an hour later, Ge Xian let out a sigh of relief and opened his eyes as if he had come to life.
He stretched out his fingers, bent his middle finger and thumb, and connected them together, similar to the action of popping out a stone.
The spiritual power flows rapidly, reaches the meridians of the arm, then reaches the middle finger, and then pops out.
A crescent blade-like brilliant light shot out, piercing the air and making a powerful whistling sound.
The clouds and mist in front were suddenly torn open by a force, and lasted for several seconds before closing again.
"Awesome!" Ge Xian was surprised. He didn't expect that the first technique he mastered was so powerful.
This is the first attack technique he just learned from the fourth level of Xiaoyao Jue - "Tooth Blade".
Although the specific power is not yet known, Ge Xian can be sure that the power of the technique is definitely much more powerful than the stones he pops out with all his strength, and the specific effect still needs to be tested in actual combat.
Afterwards, he continued to eject the tooth blade, and after some testing, he concluded the following data:
The fang blade should be a single attack with a small range and can usually only attack a single enemy.
In addition, the tooth blade needs to be charged for about 1 to 3 seconds. The longer the time, the more powerful it will be. However, if it exceeds 3 seconds, the spiritual power will be wasted and the power will not continue to increase.
Finally, with the current spiritual power reserves in his body, he can only use it about thirty times at most, and then he will be unable to use it due to lack of spiritual power.
Ge Xian stood up excitedly. Now he finally had an attack method other than stone hidden weapons. Otherwise, he always felt that his attack method was too single. After all, he didn't like close combat.
After resting, Ge Xian continued on the road. He took a moment to take a look at the fat rat in his pocket, and found that it had turned into a white cocoon at some point, a bit like a silkworm wrapping itself in a cocoon.
"Is it because he ate the inner elixir?" Ge Xian guessed. He had heard from Fat Rat before that monster beasts evolve and become stronger by devouring the inner elixirs of other high-level monsters. This should be the case.
Ge Xian didn't bother him and continued on his way with it.
Winding upward, the air became very thin at this time, and the spiritual energy began to decline, far less than on the ground.
Ge Xian had to slow down his speed and increase his rest time. He did not dare to lose too much spiritual power, and sometimes even had to use higher-level spiritual stones obtained from the fish demon.
The biggest change was the temperature. At this time, the surrounding area was covered with frost and white snow. Even though he had spiritual protection, he still felt uncomfortable, especially when the strong wind was mixed with ice slag, which hit the body very painfully.
There was no sunlight, but there was bright light, coming from the mysterious sky above. There were no white clouds or blue sky, just that mysterious light, as if the entire sky was glowing.
The clouds and mist also became heavier, and they were no longer white, but became as if they were stained with ink.
Boom!
Lightning fell from the sky, and soon there was lightning and thunder, and silver snakes danced wildly.
It was not supposed to rain, but it was pouring down at this moment. However, due to the low temperature, the rain quickly turned into icicles and shot down. Ge Xian was shocked. He immediately clung to the mountain, using the terrain to protect himself, and at the same time, his spiritual power enveloped his whole body. .
The icicles were like arrows, pouring densely towards the bottom of the sky, and the mountain seemed to be unable to bear it, making a rumbling sound.
A chill hit him, and Ge Xian looked up and saw that an icicle seemed to have deviated from its original angle, or perhaps by accident, shot directly towards him.
Tooth blade!
With great energy, a shining light blade was ejected from Ge Xian's hand and collided with the oncoming icicle. The light blade suddenly became stronger, cutting off the icicle and falling down.
Ge Xian breathed a sigh of relief, but soon he was horrified to find that two to three icicles were shooting towards him again this time.
"No, this is not an accident, this is an attack against me." Ge Xian finally woke up and immediately turned over and left his original position. Suddenly, icicles pierced his hiding place one after another and turned into ice slag.
The icicle storm in the sky continued, and Ge Xian had to take huge risks to find a new hiding place. He discovered that the enemy against him might come from above the sky, creating this rare ice storm.
His hands kept popping out the tooth blades, smashing the icicles in front of him, but he found that there was no real place to hide.
"Above!" Ge Xian raised his head and saw a shadow in the sky, and it seemed that rain was constantly spraying from there.
So he stopped looking for a place to hide and continued climbing.
He held the spirit stone from the Siren tightly in his hand, absorbing the mana while gritting his teeth and climbing.
The abundant supply of spiritual power allowed him to use his spiritual power to create a protective shield on his skin, but his clothes continued to shatter under the piercing blows of icicles, and finally disappeared. Ge Xian had to transform Ruyi Bao and Fat Rat into of cocoons in hand.
The icicles were getting denser and denser, and even with the consumption of spiritual power, they seemed to be somewhat unstoppable. However, Ge Xian remained unwavering and continued to climb at a faster speed, while maximizing the use of the spiraling mountain topography to avoid countless ice spikes.
Finally, he reached the top of the mountain. At this time, the temperature drop caused by the height suddenly disappeared, and the icicles returned to the shape of rain, as if they had walked out of an enchantment and entered a new one.
The rain poured down, and Ge Xian simply let it wash over him and took a happy bath.
He looked around and found that the sky was not actually that high, but seemed to be climbable.
Ge Xian threw a stone to explore the path. Sure enough, the stone did not fall, but rolled to the other side of the sky.
He jumped directly, and with a snap, it was like stepping on the ceiling, and actually stepped on the sky.
The surroundings are still not white clouds and blue sky, but gray and wet ground with rain.
With the help of his spiritual sense, Ge Xian walked all the way along the horizon.
When he came to the end of the horizon, he came across a door-like place, but there was a restriction. Ge Xian tried to break it open with his spiritual power. There was a click, and the door opened in response, and he walked in.
A familiar feeling came to him, and he found that he was back in the Immortal Cave, but this was not the place he entered at the beginning, but in front of a bridge.
When he looked back, he found that the door had long since disappeared. It seemed that it was the entrance and exit of the barrier just like the first path he entered.
The bridge is about a hundred meters long, with a hint of luster in the darkness. The bridge deck looks like an asphalt road, but it always feels not solid enough.
Ge Xian did not walk up rashly, but meditated on the spot. The green spiritual stone in his hand finally disappeared, turning into the last bit of spiritual power and entering his meridians.
The spiritual power that was about to be exhausted was restored to a level close to being full again, and Ge Xian finally felt at ease.
Looking at his naked body, he shook his head with emotion, and suddenly thought that there seemed to be a piece of clothing in the Ruyi package, which Liu Ying and Chen Churui had given him.
So Ge Xian put the fat rat's cocoon aside, then wrapped his hands with spiritual power, reached into the package and took out the piece of clothing. It grew from small to large. When it was taken out, it was a complete set of clothes.
The style of the clothes is pretty good, they are in the shape of a robe, a little more traditional, but quite wearable.
However, he discovered that this dress was not meant to be worn, or that it was not "worn" in this way.
"Does it need to be refined?" Ge Xian suddenly understood that various items used by monks, including their own weapons, packages, etc., all need to be refined, otherwise they will not be their own and cannot be used.
So he sat cross-legged in front of the robe, and cast a ray of spiritual light onto the robe. Suddenly, the robe emitted a burst of fluorescence, which was blue and produced a repulsive force.
Ge Xian frowned, resisted the repulsive force, increased his spiritual power output, and tried to erase the rebound force, but it was not easy. This seemingly weak force was blocked there.
Time passed little by little, and Ge Xian tried hard to calm down, and slowly pushed the power into the robe like a wrist-wrestle.
Finally, an hour later, as the last bit of rebound power disappeared, the robe suddenly burst into a burst of dazzling green light, then flew directly up and fell towards him.
Ge Xian was caught off guard. When he reacted, he found that the robe was already on him.
