The flickering candlelight in the quiet room stretched the figures of Lin Feng and Su Wan, casting them onto the cold stone wall.The air was filled with the lingering smell of bloody rust and an intangible heaviness.The echo of Su Wan's words' never give up 'seems to linger between the beams.
Tomorrow at the hour of Yin, at the back door of Bai Cao Xuan. "Lin Feng's voice broke the silence, hoarse but unquestionable," Bring what you think is necessary, light and simple
Yes, senior! "Su Wan's eyes flashed with a hint of excitement, then turned firm, bowed deeply, and silently retreated.She knew that from this moment on, her fate would be tightly tied to the mysterious and unpredictable predecessor before her, as well as the legendary Valley of Tears.
Lin Feng did not rest immediately.He sat down cross legged again, placing the commander and dark red fragments in front of his knees.In the sea of consciousness, the map of the Valley of Tears, composed of dark gold patterns, clearly emerges - a chain high platform surrounded by nine winding blood rivers, emitting a palpitating sense of oppression.The area indicated on the map is located in the true hinterland of the Wanmiao Mountains, a thousand miles away from Heishi Town. The danger is incomparable to the periphery.
The Nine Li Blood Lock... Blood Sacrifice Formation... "Lin Feng's fingertips brushed against the icy blade patterns of the fragments, feeling the towering resentment and military spirit contained within.The Zhen Yuan of the Nine Yuan Prison Scripture flows slowly within his body, silently suppressing the restlessness brought by the fragments and keeping his mind absolutely calm.The key to breaking the formation may lie with Su Wan.Her bloodline is a key, or perhaps a guiding light.
The next day, the sky was still dark.
The backyard of Baicaoxuan was shrouded in a gray morning mist.Zhang, the shopkeeper, had already been waiting here, his face still carrying the same fear as yesterday, but there was a hint of respect and concern in his eyes.
Senior, Miss Su. "Zhang, the shopkeeper, handed over two inconspicuous gray packages." This was prepared according to your instructions. One is compressed military rations, water purification pills, deworming powder, and some basic detoxification pills. The other... "He lowered his voice and took out a leather scroll with a special material and slightly cool tentacles." It is a partial map of the deep area of the Wanmiao Mountains hidden by Baicaoxuan. Although the specific location of the Bloodshed Valley is not marked, several known dangers and safe supply points are marked, hoping to be helpful. And... this
He took out another jade box that was palm sized, pitch black, and engraved with complex runes.This is the 'Hidden Trace Jade Talisman', which can temporarily mask the aura and body shape after activation. It has a good blocking effect on the exploration of divine consciousness below the base period, but can only be used three times. I found it in the market and hope it can help senior avoid unnecessary trouble
Lin Feng took the jade box and map, nodded slightly, and said, "Thank you for your help." Zhang, the shopkeeper,'s gesture was a timely help.The Hidden Jade Talisman may be able to save lives in times of crisis.
Su Wan was also ready, dressed in a deep blue suit that was easy to move, with her long hair tied up and a thin sword hanging from her waist.Her face remained pale, but her gaze was sharp. The dark red birthmark on her collarbone was faintly visible under her collar, emitting a faint burning sensation.She was carrying a smaller package with only a few items for changing laundry and a small amount of medication inside.
Let's go. "Lin Feng didn't say much and put the package into a storage bag (a low-level storage bag provided by Manager Zhang), stepping into the hazy morning mist first.Su Wan followed closely behind, and Zhang, the shopkeeper, stood at the door, bowing deeply until their figures disappeared at the end of the misty street.
The west gate of Heishi Town slowly opened in the dim morning light.The gatekeeper yawned and didn't pay much attention to the two "herb gatherers" who left town early.Lin Feng and Su Wan left the city smoothly without any investigation.
However, shortly after their figures disappeared from the path leading to the Wanmiao Mountains, two ghostly figures quietly appeared on a roof near the city gate.A person with a cold aura, dressed in a gray robe, and sharp eyes like an eagle;The other person has a strong physique, carrying a wide bladed giant sword, with a heavy and heavy aura, reaching the threshold of the early stage of foundation construction!
The aura is correct, it's the target. And there's the little girl who defected from the Su family. "The gray robed man's voice was hoarse, and a compass shaped artifact in his hand flickered slightly, pointing towards the direction where Lin Feng and the other person left.
The strong man with a sword on his back spoke in a muffled voice, with a hint of disdain: "Su Ying and Su Yan are two useless people who couldn't even take a refining period and even lost their lives. Young Master Su Chen is also making a big deal out of a molehill, and even asked us to take action. Hurry up and make a quick decision, take the things back and restore our lives
The two of them exchanged a glance, their bodies swaying like two arrows from the string, silently chasing after Lin Feng and his companions along their path, far exceeding the speed of the Qi Refining cultivator!
...
In the depths of the Wanmiao Mountains, the environment is vastly different from its surroundings.
The towering ancient trees cover the sky and the sun, and the thick vines intertwine like giant pythons.The air is no longer filled with the fresh scent of plants and trees, but with a colorful and viscous miasma - * * bone wasting miasma * *!This miasma not only contains highly toxic substances that can corrode spiritual power shields, but also erodes divine souls, causing hallucinations and confusion.The sunlight struggled to penetrate the thick miasma layer and tree canopy, casting a mottled and constantly twisting light and shadow on the ground, adding a touch of strangeness.
The ground is covered with thick decaying leaves, soft and silent to step on, but I don't know how many deadly poisonous insects, snakes, and ants are hidden underneath.The air is filled with various strange roars, low growls, and buzzing sounds of high-speed wing vibrations, which are chilling.
The surface of Lin Feng's body is covered with an extremely faint dark golden halo, which is a thin shield formed by the highly condensed Zhenzhen Yuan. The power of returning to the countryside is contained within it, silently decomposing and annihilating the nearby bone wasting miasma, like a moving micro purification field.He walked steadily, taking each step precisely on the relatively stable ground, avoiding areas that were clearly soft and may have hidden traps.
Su Wan followed closely behind Lin Feng, her face even paler.The pressure brought by the bone wasting miasma far exceeded her imagination, and the hidden wounds in her body seemed to be faintly stirred in this environment, with piercing pain like needles.She could only fully utilize her family's traditional martial arts, with a layer of pale blue spiritual power protecting her entire body, struggling to resist the erosion of miasma. Her forehead was already oozing fine cold sweat.She looked at Lin Feng's clear and seemingly unaffected figure in the miasma ahead, and her awe deepened.
Suddenly, Lin Feng paused in his footsteps and raised his hand to signal.
Su Wan immediately held her breath and focused, following Lin Feng's gaze.A seemingly calm decaying leaf ground ahead, slightly raised.In the next moment, countless fist sized, pitch black, and ferocious mouthparts of poisonous beetles surged out like a fountain!Their wings vibrated at high speed, emitting a dense buzzing sound that made their scalp tingle. Like a black tide, it swept towards the two of them like a blanket!
It's the 'Spirit Devouring Black Beetle'! They can devour spiritual power! "Su Wan exclaimed in surprise, instinctively gripping the hilt of her sword tightly around her waist.This swarm of insects is extremely difficult to deal with. Once entangled, the spiritual power shield of the cultivator during the Qi refining period will be quickly gnawed away, followed by flesh and blood!
Lin Feng's eyes were cold, and the Zhen Yuan seed of the Dantian prison spun rapidly.
**Prison suppression!**
Boom!
A heavy and intangible force field spreads instantly like a mountain!The group of black beetles rushing forward felt like they had hit an invisible wall, falling to the ground with a crackling sound, their shells shattered, and their juices flowed freely.However, the number of insect colonies is too large, and they are not afraid of death. The subsequent wave of insects still rushes in crazily, and even begins to gnaw on the invisible barrier of pressure!
Senior! "Su Wan exclaimed in surprise. She saw that several insects that had escaped the net had already penetrated the edge of the pressure and rushed straight towards Lin Feng's face!
Lin Fengfeng snorted, about to urge the force of returning to the village to completely clear the field, a sudden change occurred!
Hum -!
Under Su Wan's collarbone, the dark red birthmark suddenly became scorching hot!A faint, indescribable wave with an ancient and barbaric aura emanated uncontrollably from her!
This fluctuation is extremely weak, but carries a kind of pressure from the depths of the bloodline, from the upper echelons!
A miracle has happened!
Those crazy spirit devouring black beetles, in the moment they touched this faint wave, felt like they had encountered their natural enemies and nemesis!The momentum of the charge abruptly came to an end, and the dense buzzing sound turned into a terrifying hiss!The entire swarm of insects fell into chaos, bumping and even biting each other like headless flies!In just a few breaths, the despairing black insect tide turned around and hastily crawled back under the decaying leaves, disappearing without a trace!
Quiet down!A deathly silence!
Only a few insect corpses remaining on the ground and a faint fishy smell in the air prove the danger just now.
Lin Feng withdrew the imminent burst of true energy, his gaze like electricity, and instantly locked onto Su Wan.Her face turned even paler, and her body trembled slightly. It was obvious that the sudden blood flow had consumed a lot earlier. The red light of the birthmark on her collarbone was slowly fading away, but the burning sensation was still evident.
Previously... senior... I... "Su Wan herself was also confused, completely unaware of what she had done.
Your bloodline, "Lin Feng's voice carried a hint of inquiry," has a suppressive effect on the poisonous insects here. "This effect far exceeded his expectations.The Jiuli tribe, a barbaric tribe rumored to be associated with ancient beasts and poisonous substances... Su Wan's bloodline power is indeed uniquely connected to the environment deep in this million miasma!
Upon hearing this, Su Wan's eyes were initially bewildered, but then burst into incredible surprise!This is the first time she has truly felt the power that is considered a 'curse' within her, and how it can exert such a magical effect!
Can I... can I help? "Her voice carried a hint of trembling excitement.
Save it, critical moment. "Lin Feng didn't say much and continued to move forward.But the value evaluation of Su Wan in my heart has already increased.This bloodline, deep in the Wanmiao Mountains, may be more useful than many treasures.
The two continued to delve deeper.With Lin Feng's keen perception of the crisis, the restraint of miasma in the "Nine Yuan Town Prison Sutra", and the map guidance provided by Manager Zhang, they avoided several known dangers (such as the cannibalistic flower valley that can devour spiritual power and the fluorescent swamp filled with hallucinogenic spores).Su Wan also tried to adapt to the environment and actively sensed the sleeping power inside her body. Although she could no longer actively trigger the deterrent of birthmarks, she found that she seemed to have an instinctive aversion to the scent of certain poisonous plants.
However, the calm did not last long.
While crossing through a "Thousand Stone Forest" shrouded in thick colored miasma and rugged rocks, Lin Feng suddenly stopped and his eyes became sharp as a knife in an instant!
Come out, "his cold voice pierced through the thick miasma.
Hmph! You're quite alert! "A hoarse voice sounded with a hint of humor.
Two figures, like ghosts tearing apart miasma, one left and one right, blocked the front and back roads of Lin Feng and Su Wan!It's the gray robed cultivator and the sword carrying strong man who came after us!
The gray robed cultivator held a compass and stared at Lin Feng with a sinister expression in his eyes. "Young man, hand over the fragments obtained at the auction, as well as all the valuable things on your body. You should renounce your cultivation and perhaps save your dog's life." He glanced at Su Wan with a hint of lust, "As for this little beauty, Young Master Su Chen specifically asked to bring it back 'intact'
The strong man with a sword on his back was even more direct, and the spiritual pressure during the early stages of building the foundation exploded without reservation!The heavy pressure rolled over like substance, causing the surrounding colorful miasma to surge and retreat!With a sinister smile, he pulled out the wide bladed giant sword from behind, its body shimmering with a thick, earth yellow spiritual light. It was obvious that he was practicing a soil based technique, and his strength was astonishing. "What nonsense are you talking to him about! Crush it directly! The fragments will come naturally
The terrifying pressure of building a foundation descended, and Su Wan let out a muffled groan. His face turned pale like paper, and his blood and qi churned inside. The hidden injury that had just been suppressed seemed to have exploded again, and even breathing became difficult!She bit her lip tightly, trying not to fall down, her eyes filled with despair - building a foundation!This is definitely not something that can be countered during the refining period!
Lin Feng's gaze was extremely solemn.Foundation building cultivator!Su Chen, for the sake of this fragment, could he really hire a master of this level!And it's just two people at once!
Without any hesitation, he instantly stuffed the "Hidden Jade Talisman" given by Manager Zhang into Su Wan's hand and whispered, "Activate! Hide
At the same time, the Zhenyuan seed in his dantian is spinning wildly at an unprecedented speed!The power of returning to the village has been fully mobilized!
**Prison control, pressure, full open!**
Boom!
A terrifying pressure several times stronger than before, with a cold silence and absolute will to suppress, erupted like an invisible tsunami centered on Lin Feng!Although the level of this pressure is not as high as the spiritual pressure of building foundations, the erosive characteristics of its "prison control" will and the power to return to the countryside make the spiritual pressure of gray robed cultivators and sword carrying strong men one of the stagnation!
Huh?! "The gray robed cultivator's face changed slightly, and the compass pointer in his hand spun wildly.
There was also a hint of surprise in the eyes of the sword wielding strong man, but it immediately turned into a stronger killing intent: "It's a bit tricky! But the mantis arm is like a carriage, death
His giant sword was raised high, and his earth yellow spiritual power converged like mountains!
It's you who died! "Lin Feng's eyes gleamed with a cold light, waiting for the moment when the other party was distracted by pressure!
He stomped suddenly under his feet!
**Zhen Prison · Ta Yuan!**
Boom!The ground is cracked!Lin Feng's figure did not charge towards anyone, but shot like a shell towards a rugged stone pillar that was over ten feet high and needed several people to embrace it to the side!At the same time, his right hand formed a claw with five fingers, and the power of returning to the village mixed with the true essence of the prison, condensed to the extreme at the tip of the claw, and fiercely clawed at the foundation of the stone pillar!
**Zhen Prison · Shattered Yue!**
Click!Boom boom!
The huge stone pillar, which had been eroded by miasma and was no longer stable internally, shattered and collapsed instantly under the terrifying claw of Lin Feng, which contained the power of returning to the ruins!The massive stone pillar lost its support, emitting a series of teeth wrenching moans of fracture, carrying the momentum of ten thousand tons, and smashing its head towards the sword wielding strong man blocking the way!Smoke, dust, and gravel mixed with colorful miasma instantly spread out!
Damn it! "The strong man with the sword on his back was both shocked and angry. He didn't expect Lin Feng to be so cunning and ruthless, using his environment as a leverage!He had to give up the attack, the giant sword turned sideways, and the thick earth yellow spiritual light surged, transforming into a giant shield shadow and facing the collapsed Optimus Prime stone pillar with all his strength!
Boom!!!
The deafening sound of impact echoed in the Thousand Stone Forest!The rubble is shooting like a rainstorm!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Wan gritted her teeth and activated the Hidden Jade Talisman. A faint gray halo enveloped her whole body, and her breath instantly became weak and blurry. She resisted the pain and pain caused by the pressure of building the foundation and quickly hid behind the shadow of a huge rock.
And Lin Feng, in the moment when the stone pillar collapsed and smoke filled the air, his figure disappeared like a ghost in the original place!His target is the gray robed cultivator who holds a compass, has a relatively gentle aura, and poses a greater threat!
The gray robed cultivator was drawn mostly to the collapsed stone pillars and the pervasive smoke, while also being distracted by Su Wan, who was using a compass to locate his whereabouts.When a chilling killing intent instantly enveloped him, he was horrified and startled!
Be careful! "The roar of the sword wielding strong man came from the smoke and dust.
It's too late!
Lin Feng's figure condensed from the shadows and appeared beside the gray robed cultivator!His left hand spread its five fingers wide open, facing the gray robed cultivator with a sudden virtual grip!
**Prison in Town, the Grip of Returning to the Countryside!**
Hmph!
A condensed dark golden giant hand phantom, carrying the terrifying will to drag all things down, ignored distance, and instantly appeared on the top of the gray robed cultivator's head, fiercely grabbing it!
The souls of gray robed cultivators are all in danger!He let out a strange cry, his gray robe shining brightly, and layers of ghostly shields appeared instantly. At the same time, his body quickly retreated, trying to break free from the giant hand lock!
However, the grip of returning to the village locks in the divine soul!The ghost shadow shield was torn apart and annihilated layer by layer like paper paste in front of the returning power contained in the Dark Gold Giant Hand!
Puff!
The sound of bone and flesh cracking that makes teeth ache resounds!The dark golden giant hand fiercely closed!
Ah! "The gray robed cultivator only had time to let out a short, mournful scream, and his entire upper body was squeezed into a blurry mist of blood under the terrifying force of the Returning to the Ruins!His lower body collapsed weakly to the ground, and blood instantly stained the broken stones on the ground red.
a blow!Instantly kill the gray robed cultivator who has perfected Qi refining!
Old ghost! "The strong man with the back sword, who had just shaken the collapsed stone pillar and dispersed the smoke and dust, was about to crack his eyes and eyes!He never expected that just by meeting, his companion would be instantly killed by this seemingly only Qi refining guy!The opponent's ruthlessness, decisiveness, and bizarre domineering tactics completely exceeded his expectations!
I will shatter your body into pieces! "The sword wielding strong man was completely furious, and his spiritual power to build the base period erupted without reservation!He abandoned the defensive posture of the giant sword and held it in both hands. The earth yellow spiritual power poured into the sword body like a volcanic eruption. The entire giant sword bloomed with a piercing yellow light, carrying the terrifying power of cutting through the mountains and splitting the ground, and fiercely slashed towards Lin Feng, who had just landed and had a slightly unstable breath!
**Slash the ground!**
Before the blade arrived, the heavy sword pressure had already cracked the ground inch by inch!The raging wind tore apart the miasma around!This is the furious all-out strike of the foundation building cultivator!
Lin Feng's pupils are shrinking!Hard resistance, building a foundation with all your might?With his current cultivation level, even with the protection of Zhenyuan in prison, it is definitely unlucky!
At this critical moment!
Uh...! "Su Wan, hiding behind the giant rock, suddenly let out a painful groan!The birthmark on her collarbone became scorching hot like a red hot iron under the violent pressure and killing intent of the sword wielding warrior!A much clearer and more violent stream of thoughts, mixed with the aura of war and a certain sorrowful call, suddenly rushed into her mind!
At the same time, this idea was like an invisible cone, piercing through space and fiercely piercing into the sea of consciousness of the sword wielding strong man who was preparing to launch a fatal blow!
Soldiers... Lord... Cry blood... Lock... Open... "The intermittent roar, filled with the sounds of metal and iron and endless resentment, exploded in the mind of the sword wielding strong man!
What the hell is that?! "The strong man with the sword on his back stiffened suddenly!The giant sword that was struck showed an instant delay!This sudden spiritual shock, although not enough to severely damage his soul that built the foundation, caused a fatal flaw in his perfectly condensed sword power!
opportunity!
Lin Feng's eyes are shining brightly!He is waiting for this variable!The prison within the body is burning recklessly!The power of returning to the countryside is crazily concentrated on the right foot!
**Town Prison, Treading Yuan, Returning to the Countryside!**
Boom!
Under Lin Feng's feet, a deep pit silently collapsed from the ground!He transformed into a dark golden stream of light, narrowly brushing against the edge of the terrifying giant sword!At the same time, the right foot, which had gathered all the strength of the body, kicked fiercely like a battle axe at the waist and rib of the sword carrying strong man, which was exposed due to the delay of the sword's momentum!
**The prison is collapsing!**
Click!
The palpitating sound of bone fractures echoed clearly!The thick layer of earth yellow spiritual power armor on the body of the strong man with a sword on his back shattered like fragile eggshells under the terrifying kick that contained the power to annihilate the ruins!The violent power poured into his body without reservation!
Puff! "The strong man with the sword on his back had his eyes bulging, and a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs sprayed out wildly!The massive body was like being hit by a siege hammer, flying off the ground and crashing fiercely into a huge stone pillar behind it!
Boom!
The stone pillar shook violently, and the crushed stones fell down with a rustling sound.The strong man with a sword on his back was embedded in the depression of the stone pillar, his chest collapsed, his ribs shattered, and his breath instantly collapsed to the extreme. His eyes were filled with shock, pain, and disbelief!
He is a proud foundation builder, but surprisingly... he was defeated in the hands of an Qi refining period?!Still so disastrous!
Lin Feng fell to the ground, his breath also churned, and his face turned slightly pale.That kick just now almost took away nearly half of his prison guard.Without any pause, he walked towards the heavily injured and dying swordbacked man with a cold gaze.
You... what kind of monster are you? "Blood gushed out of Zhuang Han's mouth as he carried his sword, his eyes unfocused.
Lin Feng didn't answer, and a strand of condensed Zhenyuan from his fingertips pierced through his forehead like the sharpest thorn of death.
Pooh!
Foundation building cultivator, fall!
Within the thousand stone forest, there is a dead silence.Only the silent flow of colorful miasma and the intense smell of blood that cannot be dissolved.
Su Wan stumbled out from behind the boulder, his face pale as paper, and his body trembling.The sudden burst of blood and mental impact just now had a great burden on her, and the birthmark on her collarbone was still scorching hot, with a burning sensation deep into her bones.
Lin Feng quickly cleaned up the battlefield, putting away the compass and storage bag of the gray robed cultivator, as well as the giant sword and storage bag of the sword carrying strong man.He walked up to Su Wan and handed her a pill to replenish her qi and blood: "Hold on
Su Wan took the pill and felt its power dissipate. She took a breath and pointed to the deeper miasma ahead, her voice weak but with a strange sensation: "Senior... over there... I feel... something is calling out... very sad... very angry... like... like a chain lamenting... and the scent of fragments... very similar
Lin Feng looked in the direction she pointed, his gaze as if piercing through a heavy miasma.He sensed that the commander's command and fragments in his arms were also trembling clearly at this moment.
Let's go. "Lin Feng held onto Su Wan's arm, supporting her. The two of them stopped and quickly left this bloody battlefield, heading towards the direction that Su Wan sensed, and advancing deeper and more dangerous into the heart of the ten thousand miasma.
After walking for about half an hour, passing through a thorny forest filled with light purple poisonous mist, my eyes suddenly opened up, and I was instantly enveloped by a deeper chill.
That is the edge of a huge, collapsing basin.Above the basin, a thick, ink like black miasma shrouded the air, rolling and surging, faintly forming nine huge, twisted vortices!The center of the vortex seems to be connected to the Nine Underworld, emitting suffocating evil and deathly silence.
At the edge of the basin, an ancient stone monument, half buried in soil and covered in moss, stands diagonally.The stone tablet is made of non gold and non stone materials, presenting a dull bronze color. It is engraved with several giant ancient seal scripts that are incomplete but emit endless blood evil energy:
**Nine... Li... Blood... Lock... Anyone who enters without permission... Sacrifice**
A cold and piercing thought, filled with resentment and warning, permeated from the stone tablet!
Lin Feng and Su Wan stood in front of the stone tablet, gazing down at the terrifying basin shrouded in a dark vortex below, feeling the strong resonance of the military master's orders, fragments, and Su Wan's bloodline.
Crying Blood Valley, it's here!
And at this moment, the terrifying veil of the Nine Li Blood Lock Formation has also lifted a fierce corner!
