Beishan Dashi Valley, Nei Valley
Ming Zishan led everyone to move forward. There were occasional snakes and scorpions attacking along the way, but under Qiye's full vigilance, they were discovered and eliminated in time.
In this way, the journey was uneventful.
After walking for a long time, I didn't encounter any ferocious beasts. Everyone's nervous hearts finally calmed down a little.
Along the way, Qiye relied on the detection of soul spider silk and discovered several second-grade elixirs. Although they were only relatively young herbs, they were enough to make Wang Xiu, Zhang Li and others jealous.
After collecting the elixir, he generously gave it to the three senior sisters.
These days, the three senior sisters never left their side, protecting and taking care of them all the way, which made Qiye feel very sad.
After all, I couldn't accept others' kindness with peace of mind, so I simply gave them the elixir I collected as a token of my gratitude.
As for the elixir sent by Qiye, Yan Wan and the other three declined it for a while, but finally couldn't stand Qiye's insistence on sending it to them, so they had to accept it gratefully.
"Ah Qi, senior sister really likes you more and more."
Shang Qian covered her mouth and smiled, saying metaphorically
Now, they really like this little junior brother who is young, but has keen senses, is a little shy in silence, and treats others sincerely. The more they see him, the more they like him. They gather around him and want to grab him and kiss him.
"Ahem..."
Hearing this, Ming Zishan, who was walking in front of the team, saw that Ah Qi was so popular with the senior sisters, and couldn't help but cough lightly in embarrassment, signaling to restrain himself.
Wang Xiu and Zhang Li in the team had bloodshot eyes and envy, and they gritted their teeth.
"Okay, okay... Senior sister, stop making trouble."
Qiye's shy cheeks turned red during the playful pushing. After finally breaking free from the crowd of three people, she calmed down and returned to her usual calm demeanor...
It's really strange to say that he, who has always had little contact with others, somehow feels that having someone to accompany him and care about him is not a bad thing, and his heart will feel warm and fulfilling.
…
After traveling for a day, the group rested briefly in a cave for one night.
Ming Zishan took out a map and compared it. According to the map, everyone had entered the inner valley. At this rate, it would take at least ten days to enter the deep valley.
However, the deep valley is dangerous and unpredictable and is not within the scope of the trial.
This trial is mainly about searching for the elixir in the inner valley.
As for the other monks who entered the valley, they headed towards the deep valley.
Therefore, there are much less disputes in the inner valley than in the deep valley.
The next day, they entered a dense forest.
There are vines everywhere in the forest, and the branches are intertwined, and the branches and vines are connected between the trees.
There was a mess everywhere, and Ming Zishan had to wield his long sword to cut a passage in the forest.
Seven nights also quietly scattered spider silk, floating everywhere in the forest.
The birds in the forest are silent and eerily quiet, and you can still feel the chill of the cold mist drifting through.
"Everyone, be careful, there is something weird in this forest..."
Ming Zishan, who was walking in front and had deep experience in the world of martial arts, reminded him seriously.
"Ah Qi, come behind me."
Yan Wan holds a scale whip and protects Qiye.
Seeing this situation, Gao Yi and Shang Qian also drew their swords to protect their left and right sides.
He saw three senior sisters who were in the "First Level of Early War Level" standing in front of him, like a high wall to resist the dangers outside.
Qiye was quite moved in his heart. He was not a hypocritical person. Besides, his superficial strength was at a very low level and he really needed protection. His true strength should not be exposed at will.
Therefore, he stood behind the three senior sisters without hesitation, with a slightly uneasy expression on his usually calm and calm face.
In fact, he had sensed that there was no danger within two to three hundred meters around him. He was just afraid that others would notice that he was too calm and would become suspicious, so he had to pretend to be nervous.
The other two, Wang Xiu and Wang Xiu, saw Ah Qi hiding behind the woman who was timid and afraid of death. They snorted coldly and glanced at her hatefully. Then they took out their weapons and guarded the team behind them.
After walking like this for a while, Qiye suddenly stopped and asked:
"Did you hear anything... a rustling sound?"
"what sound?"
After hearing what Qiye said, Mingzishan immediately paused in alarm.
Ever since he learned that Qiye had extremely sharp senses, he had attached great importance to this young outer disciple.
Ming Zishan stopped waving the sword in his hand and listened carefully, but the surroundings were still silent.
"There is no strange sound here. Could it be that Junior Brother Ah Qi is timid and afraid of death, and is suspicious of ghosts?"
Wang Xiu had been holding back a resentment in his heart along the way, and now he finally took the opportunity to express it.
"Senior Brother Wang and Junior Brother Ah Qi are also thinking about everyone's safety. What you said is a bit of a faux pas..."
Yan Wan corrected him dissatisfiedly.
In her eyes, Qiye was no longer just an outside disciple who was just a helper.
Yan Wan had a vague feeling in her heart that perhaps during this trial, their group needed to rely on Ah Qi's keen senses to detect danger in advance.
"..."
Wang Xiu didn't expect that he would arouse dissatisfaction from the junior sisters just after he made a sarcastic comment, so he had to shut up in frustration and turn his head aside.
It's not that he doesn't want to refute, it's just that due to Yan Wan's status in the heart of the Dantang elders, it's hard for him to antagonize her.
Qiye, on the other hand, ignored other people's comments, gently closed his eyes, concentrated and calmed down, stretched out the soul spider thread to the maximum extent, and carefully felt the slight vibration transmitted back by the fingertip spider thread...
Seeing this, the three senior sisters knew that Qiye was sensing the surroundings with five senses that were different from ordinary people, so they restrained their voices and carefully guarded their left and right.
After just ten breaths, Qiye's eyes opened brightly, and he pointed his finger to one side and said:
"Over there, I felt the sound of the grass shaking, as if there was something..."
Just now, with his eyes closed, he had extended the soul spider thread to a maximum length of 1,000 meters. The spider silk clung to the grass and slid deep into the forest.
Feel the slight sway of the grass being stirred, the rustling...
When the spider silk went deep into the grass, Qiye spied a python swimming slowly towards this side under the cover of the grass. It was like a predator pulling in a sneak attack without the prey noticing. distance……
Considering that the distance was too far, Qiye could only vaguely say that there was something there even though the detection was clear. Otherwise, he would not be able to explain such a long distance when his spiritual consciousness was blocked.
"Over there..."
Ming Zishan looked at the right front of Qiye's finger
Although the white fog is confusing, it is no different from the surroundings.
But with his trust in Qiye's ability, he gripped the sword tightly and decided to go and find out.
Under such hazy and unfavorable conditions in the dense forest, any monsters lurking around are the greatest threat to everyone and should be eliminated in time.
"Everyone, follow me closely and keep a visible distance..."
Ming Zishan said while touching Qiye's finger.
The disciples kept a visible distance of four to five meters from the elders, which was both safe and to prevent them from getting lost.
"rustle……"
After walking two or three hundred meters, suddenly there was a violent rustling sound in the grass ahead.
As if a sneak attack had been discovered, a blurry shadow in the grass struck quickly.
"Everyone, stay back!"
Ming Zishan's eyes widened and he shouted loudly.
Sure enough, there is a monster ambushing you.
I saw the low grass being pushed aside by unknown objects, naked bodies heading straight towards him.
Ming Zishan didn't dare to be careless and directly made a big move.
"Martial skills, knife stabbing!"
With a vigorous swing, the sharp sword carried the thorns of spiritual power and shot deep into the grass.
"Ding ding ding..."
The thorns hit the unknown object in the grass, and sparks appeared.
"Hiss!"
As if angered by the attack, the unknown object hiding in the grass and rushing towards it at high speed suddenly raised its head and let out a menacing hiss.
"It's a green grass python! Everyone, be careful!"
After seeing the monster's appearance clearly, Ming Zishan said in surprise.
I saw that this grass python was ten meters long and had a waist as thick as a bucket.
The snake scales all over the body are as green as leaves and are lined up in rows. The neck is raised to a height of more than four meters. The cold and sharp eyes are revealing the green snake letter. A pair of penetrating eyes are looking down at everyone.
Hearing Ming Zishan pronounce the name of the monster, Qiye quickly searched for relevant information in his mind:
Green-leaf grass python, a third-level monster.
The grass python at its full strength is equivalent to a late-stage battle ax level expert. Even a newborn snake has the strength of the first level.
Green-leaf grass pythons like to live in cold and humid places and are good at sneak attacks. Because they have leaf-like snake scales all over their bodies, they are almost perfectly camouflaged in the canopy...
Although this green-leaf grass python is not highly venomous, it is still a powerful type of demonic snake.
In this world, there is a saying:
The demon snake turns into a python in a hundred years, a dragon in a thousand years, and a dragon in ten thousand years!
Although no one has actually seen a snake finally transform into a dragon, any demonic snake that has practiced for hundreds of years will become huge in size.
The green-leaf grass python in front of him is more than ten meters long, which shows that it must have been cultivated for more than a hundred years.
"Looking at its scales, this python should not have been trained for more than two hundred years. Its strength is almost the seventh level of late battle ax level..."
Ming Zishan glanced behind the python and made a quick judgment in his mind.
However, even if he judged the strength of this grass python, he did not dare to take it lightly.
Note: Monsters of the same level are powerful enough to crush human spiritual cultivators of the same level.
Even if he is currently an 'early level one fighting spirit', his strength will be greatly reduced in this unfavorable environment with narrow terrain and unclear vision.
What's more, behind him, there are Dantong disciples who came out for trials. He has to pay attention to their safety during the battle and cannot completely let go...
Many unfavorable factors are intertwined, which greatly affects the performance of Mingzishan's strength.
What's more, the opponent he was fighting was the green-leaf grass python in the forest, which was good at hiding and disguised for sneak attacks. All these disadvantageous situations made Ming Zishan look serious and solemn.
"Stay back and be careful!"
There is no time to say more, just a few simple instructions.
Ming Zishan held a sharp sword in his hand and looked directly at the green-leaf grass python without any contempt.
Except for Qiye, who was a little calmer, the other disciples stood there with their heads buzzing and did not listen to the elder's instructions clearly.
A monster beast equivalent to the seventh level of the late Battle Ax level
Oh my God, how could we let them meet?
Are you really going to die here today?
Wang Xiu and Zhang Li were even more regretful. They should not have had the courage to come here in the first place. Now it is too late to go back.
Everyone's face was pale and their eyes were frightened.
Even Yan Wan gritted her teeth tightly, not daring to show any emotion.
"No, don't eat me..."
Behind Qiye, Zhang Li was frightened and shouted in a broken voice. Then he twitched his steps, left the crowd and fled outside.
"return!"
Ming Zishan shouted angrily, knowing that he couldn't run away at all.
But at this time, the green-leaf grass python opened its huge mouth, turned away from him, swung its powerful tail, and swept the strong wind towards the fleeing disciple.
