The sun soon set over the mountain, leaving only a hazy blue-gray color between the sky and the earth.
Two black shadows walked through the mountains and forests at extremely fast speeds. The strong wind brought down the fallen leaves like knives, drifting and embedded in the mud.
Another piece fell on the young man's shoulder.
Ji Ning followed Ye Yu silently. The distance between the two was always a hundred meters. Logically speaking, he would have a chance to escape at any time. The latter should not have a chance to react. In fact, he had done that before. of.
However, a practitioner is a practitioner.
As the genius of the Xuntian Mansion who is in the advanced level of Qi Condensation, his tracking methods are naturally not weak, and the spiritual energy he can use is not comparable to him. It is no exaggeration to say that he is now unable to fly without wings.
"The harpy's lair is ahead. Be careful later and don't get hurt."
Ahead, Ye Yu stopped and gave instructions to Ji Ning in a solemn voice.
That hawk demon is a third-stage lord-level demon.
Corresponds to the third realm among practitioners, the elixir formation stage.
Although she was very confident about taking down the injured demon, it didn't mean that she would be blindly arrogant. At least before the battle, she would definitely make arrangements for Ji Ning, the loser.
"This place... doesn't look that simple. Is there anyone of the same kind?"
Ji Ning looked solemnly as he looked at the mountain peak in front of him.
This is a broken peak. From a distance, it looks like a withered willow that has gradually become dilapidated after being burned by fire. It stands abruptly among the plains. There are many strange holes on it. When the cold mountain wind blows, Over time, it will make a permeating hissing sound.
Ye Yu held the sword in his hand and said nothing, his ponytail swaying in the cold wind as he slowly walked into the terrifying mountain.
Ji Ning watched the beautiful figure slowly disappear from his sight, gritted his teeth, and followed him ruthlessly.
After traveling together along the way, he probably also figured out the girl's temperament.
Although the other party also came into the mountain to chase him, he didn't know anything about what he did. In other words, he only knew that he killed someone, but he didn't know who he killed.
This young monk from Xiantian Mansion was simple-minded and kind-hearted, but he was also a powerful swordsman, so he deceived him to the point of regret after just a few words, and he risked his life to help him regain the Blood Ganoderma.
There is no doubt that Ye Yu is a good person.
Therefore, Ji Ning could not just watch the other person die, even if the latter was much higher in cultivation than him.
"It's such a heavy demon, it's worthy of being the lair of a third-stage demon."
Ji Ning was walking in the mist-shrouded mountains, with his body half-bowed and looking around cautiously. He could smell a strong smell of blood in the air, which was the smell of the blood Ganoderma lucidum that had been snatched away before. He seemed not far away.
Pushing through thick fog one after another, following the smell of blood and footprints, he soon arrived halfway up the mountain.
The mountainside is rugged, and white bones of different shapes are scattered everywhere. Some have been weathered for several years, and some look like they have just died. They are piled up randomly, and it is impossible to tell what kind of creatures left them.
Ji Ning looked around and found that there were similar piles of bones everywhere. What was even more horrifying was that he suddenly discovered that any stone on the ground he stepped on seemed to be filled with dead bones.
Is this a mountain made of corpses?
Before Ji Ning had time to think about it, a gust of dark wind blew towards him. The wind was mixed with mist with dust particles, so he had to cover his eyes with his hands and waited until the wind calmed down a little before putting his hands down.
The footprints on the ground are gone.
The smell of blood in the air also disappeared.
A chill ran down Ji Ning's spine, and dense goose bumps appeared on his forearms.
He suddenly realized a very critical problem, that is, he had lost Ye Yu without realizing it.
He is lost.
"There shouldn't be any danger..."
Ji Ning leaned against a willow tree warily, holding a small dagger in his hand, but then he felt that his back seemed wet, as if something sticky was sticking to it, soft and Elastic and glides like waves.
Tongue.
Ji Ning's eyes widened suddenly, he took out the knife from his sleeve and slashed towards the back, just in time to collide with the claws of the giant-tongued monster.
The tiger's mouth cracked open due to the huge force. Ji Ning's body trembled, and he took seven or eight steps back, and finally staggered to stop on the edge of the cliff.
He looked at the monster in front of him with a shocked expression. Its body was as slender as a willow, its claws were as many as willow branches, and its eyes were like dense green leaves. The whole body was blinking, and its tongue fell from the top hole, covered with It was covered with thick moss and exuded a hot and humid cold air.
Ji Ning looked at it and his whole body felt numb.
People are always afraid when facing unknown things.
What's more, this thing is really disgusting. Not only does it look weird, but it is also extremely powerful. His strength is not small. Ordinary warriors who have opened several orifices may not be his opponent, but this monster just casually The shot cracked his tiger's mouth, and he took seven or eight steps back before he could stop.
This is a demon.
Ji Ning stared at him, with spiritual energy gathering in the palm of his hand, and then he rushed towards the monster, his body lowered, and the knife in his hand cut a long, blood-red mark on the disgusting tongue.
The blood beads swayed like threads. Ji Ning rolled to distance himself, then jumped to the side, jumped over the pile of dead bones, and ran towards the top of the mountain desperately.
Just kidding, he is not a practitioner.
Only after the bones are fixed can the spiritual energy in the body be able to support a long-term battle. Now he can only withstand a few moves from the monster, which is considered good.
If you don’t run now, when will you wait?
The monster was in pain and let out a hoarse cry. His eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the fog, and they easily locked onto Ji Ning's position, and then chased after him at extremely fast speeds.
There were countless dead bones along the way, and Ji Ning almost tripped over several times. His physical strength was rapidly depleted, but he could not get rid of the strange tree behind him.
Whether it was an illusion or not, Ji Ning seemed to see that in the hazy fog, there seemed to be many monsters like that tree. With his arrival, the branches and leaves were shaking and waking up.
"What the hell is this horse riding place?"
Ji Ning couldn't help but start cursing in his heart. He shouldn't have come to this weird mountain in the first place. Now it's better. He lost the thigh of the Xuntian Mansion and he had to fold it here.
His physical strength would soon be exhausted. As for the consequences, he simply could not imagine it.
"It's over!"
Before he knew it, Ji Ning had climbed to the top of the mountain.
The surrounding thick fog blocked all light, making it almost impossible to see even the fingers of one's hands, causing Ji Ning to almost fall off the cliff.
And just when he took two steps back, preparing to find a way down the mountain.
In the mist, countless tree shadows came from all directions.
They swayed the branches, wagging their tongues, licking the skeletal heads on the ground, slowly approaching him.
Ji Ning looked ugly, looking at the cliff behind him, knowing that there was no way out.
The only solution now seems to be to forcefully open the mind.
But even if he steps into the bone setting realm, will he definitely be able to fight his way out of this mountain of monsters?
Are there no stronger monsters behind these monsters?
There was no time to think.
"Boom!" With a loud noise, Ji Ning gritted his back teeth and tried his best to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body, preparing to forcefully open the acupoints to save his life.
However, the next moment!
"Wake up!"
A familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears!
Boom!
There was a roar in Ji Ning's mind, his face turned pale, and the process of opening his acupoints was interrupted by a burst of cold sword energy.
In the surrounding darkness, the trees with strange postures withered at the same time, and their shadows fell piece by piece like the walls of a mud house.
Ji Ning looked slightly startled, looking at the scene in front of him, somewhat confused.
call out!
A small light green sword suddenly flew in front of him and cut off a tree demon that had become an elf.
Ji Ning regained consciousness completely, was startled, and took two steps back.
"what's on your mind!"
The girl's tone was anxious, she gritted her teeth and held Ji Ning in front of her.
"I told you to wait outside, why did you come up on your own!"
"I...I'm just worried about your safety."
"If you come up here, you will only drag me down!"
Ye Yu's expression was solemn, completely losing his initial composure.
Too many people have died in this mountain, and the yin energy is extremely heavy, and it happens to be a very yin time at this moment.
"Something incredible is about to be born here. It's many times more rare than the blood lingzhi elixir."
Ji Ning looked puzzled and asked:
"That's not right. If you didn't say you had been here before, isn't this the lair of the harpy?"
"That stupid eagle is dead!"
Ye Yu's face was pale, and a trace of fear appeared on his beautiful face.
She had fallen into a fantasy just now, but the group of tree demons could not stop her at all. The sword in her hand was like thunder, cutting off one after another. Finally, she came to the eagle's nest, only to find that the place was full of big demons. corpses piled up in mountains.
"The group of big demons surrounded a dark pool, with a blood-red Ganoderma growing in the center."
"That Blood Ganoderma is not an ordinary elixir. It is clearly a medicinal essence that absorbs the blood and Yin spirit of heaven and earth! It's just that it transforms into an ordinary elixir and flaunts it outside. The purpose is to attract monsters. The beasts fight over each other, and eventually they are all lured here to be killed and sacrificed!”
"Can a small elixir be able to do this?"
Ji Ning couldn't help but feel frightened as he listened.
Ordinary monsters need to practice for hundreds or even thousands of years before they can open their spiritual wisdom. If a medicinal herb wants to do this, how long will it take and how much essence of heaven and earth will it absorb.
Thousands of years?
"That's not an ordinary elixir. I guess it grew from the bones of a certain king-level monster... Damn it, why haven't you come down the mountain after walking for so long!"
The mountain road in front of us was twisting and turning. Apart from the fog and willow trees, it was just bones. Nothing else could be seen at all.
Ji Ning looked to the side at the dead tree with knife marks on its trunk, and a faint bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"There's no need to run away, it seems we've been targeted by it."
