Chapter 25 Distress
Several people not far away were surprised when they saw the white mist in the magic circle suddenly subsided. They were relieved when they saw that the person walking out was Song Qingming.
The middle-aged Confucian scholar who had agreed with Song Qingming to wait here yesterday stepped forward, cupped his hands and said:
"When I first came here, I didn't see fellow Taoist from far away. I thought you had left here alone. I didn't expect that fellow Taoist was hiding in this formation. Don't be offended if my little sister doesn't understand the formation and offends fellow Taoist."
When the woman in green saw the fog dissipate, she realized that she had just fallen into the magic circle arranged by Song Qingming. When she heard that the middle-aged scholar was so polite to Song Qingming, when she thought that this man had caused her such embarrassment, a few words of complaint suddenly came out of her mouth. :
"This person set up some kind of formation at this intersection, causing me to be trapped for no reason. I thought I fell into some kind of restriction trap, but now it's my fault."
"Sorry. Sorry"
Seeing that the woman was a little angry, Song Qingming smiled and did not explain. He lowered his head sincerely and apologized for a while, which finally coaxed the woman to calm down.
"My little sister has had a naughty temper since she was a child. I would like to ask fellow Taoist to be more considerate of her. Seeing that fellow Taoist arranges the formations so exquisitely, she is a formation master?" Seeing that Song Qingming had some skills in formations, the middle-aged Confucian scholar continued to ask.
"I am indeed a low-level formation mage, but I am still a beginner. All I have learned are superficial formations, which made several fellow Taoists laugh." After Song Qingming finished speaking, he bowed his hand modestly.
"I see that your level of formation is really shallow. If you untie it later, I will dismantle your broken formation."
The woman in green seemed to be a little reluctant, causing everyone present to burst into laughter.
"I'm Shi Chun, this is my junior sister Yuniang. I don't know how to call you fellow Taoist yet."
"Song San"
Next, the other people came forward to introduce each other, and Song Qingming gradually became familiar with everyone.
The weather has reached late autumn, and fallen leaves are falling everywhere in the Fuyun Mountains.
Song Qingming followed this group of monks and walked east for one day, then turned southeast and walked for two more days. Along the way, they met several groups of monks on their way. They were getting closer and closer to Guiyunfang in the south of Fuyun Mountains. .
After getting Liu Tianlong's storage bag, Song Qingming also changed his original mind and decided not to rush back to Qinghe County. I just happened to follow this group of casual cultivators to Guiyuanfang, and I happened to be able to handle some magic weapons, elixirs and other items along the way.
Guiyunfang is the largest city in the northern part of Weiguo, and it is also the gathering place for many casual cultivators of Weiguo. After asking a few people, it turns out that no less than 10,000 casual cultivators enter the Fuyun Mountains in Guiyunfang every year. In a place like this where hundreds of monks come in and out every day, a strange monk in the Qi Refining Stage sells some low-level magic weapons and spiritual objects. It is difficult for others to find out. It is perfect for him now.
Along the way, Song Qingming gradually became familiar with these people. The middle-aged Confucian scholar who led the team was named Shi Chun. Although his cultivation was not high, he had rich experience in hunting monsters. He was also the backbone of these people and often organized some comrades. Loose cultivators entered the Fuyun Mountains to hunt monsters.
The name of the woman in green is Qin Yuniang. She and Shi Chun are brothers and sisters. They both became apprentices to an experienced casual cultivator by chance and then embarked on the path of cultivating immortals. However, after their master accepted Qin Yuniang as his apprentice, She passed away within a few years. The person who guided Qin Yuniang's cultivation these years was her senior brother Shi Chun.
The burly man with the highest cultivation level is named Zhang Tieshan. He was originally a monk from Zheng Guo's foundation-building family. He was considered a monk from a big family. He broke through to the late stage of Qi-refining at the age of thirty. He had a bright future and was expected to build a foundation. man of.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Tieshan's family was wiped out more than ten years ago for participating in a fight between two major sects in the Zheng Kingdom. Only less than a dozen of the hundreds of monks in the family survived. Zhang Tieshan happened to be traveling abroad at the time and fled immediately after getting the news. After arriving in Weiguo, he became a casual cultivator and lost the cultivation resources provided by his family. For more than ten years, his cultivation could only remain at the same level.
A few years ago, Zhang Tieshan lived in Guiyunfang and met the brothers and sisters Shi Chun, a casual cultivator. The three of them became close friends, and they always looked after each other and often went into the Fuyun Mountains together to hunt monsters.
The other two are casual cultivators who have been wandering around the Fuyun Mountains all year round. One is named Wu Tianmu, who is at the fifth level of Qi refining, and the other is named Zhang Baiyun. He always has a wine gourd hanging around his waist. He is also the oldest among them, already seven years old. He is more than ten years old and has reached the sixth level of Qi refining.
Among the group of people, Shi Chun brother and sister were more talkative, chatting non-stop with Song Qingming along the way. Zhang Tieshan seemed a bit taciturn, probably because he had experienced changes in his family. Wu Tianmu didn't talk much and only occasionally urged everyone to walk faster. It seems that he wants to return to Guiyunfang early and get rid of the monster materials he got.
Zhang Baishan, an old drunkard, kept drinking all the way. He always talked to himself in a strange way, often pretending to be enigmatic, and his drunken words made everyone burst into laughter.
In the afternoon, when everyone was passing by a forest, Zhang Tieshan, who had been silent, suddenly shouted to everyone: "Be careful, everyone, there seems to be some monster following us."
When Song Qingming heard this, he was very surprised at first. He himself didn't notice anything. Then he thought about it. In the late stage of Qi refining, monks generally have the ability to release their spiritual consciousness. It is very reasonable for Zhang Tieshan to be able to detect the movement of monsters farther away. .
Sure enough, not long after, a high-level gray demon wolf led seven or eight middle- and low-level demon wolves and surrounded the crowd. Seeing this, everyone quickly used their magic weapons and formed a circle skillfully.
"This is the wind wolf beast. It can use wind blade spells. Don't be afraid. There are not many of these wind wolf beasts. We can stop them. Tieshan will hold off the high-level one first, and leave the rest to us. . This demon wolf's movement is extremely fast. Don't be attacked alone if you are close together. Attacking with fire and earth spells will get twice the result with half the effort."
Shi Chun was worthy of being a person who had been around the Fuyun Mountains for many years. He instantly recognized the origin of the monster and told everyone how to deal with it, so that everyone who was a little panicked quickly gained the confidence to fight.
First, Zhang Tieshan shouted loudly and used a giant sword to block the leading high-level demon wolf. One man and one beast soon fought together.
Then Song Qingming and Wu Tianmu took the lead, each releasing an earth wall technique to block the rest of the middle and low-level demon wolves in front of everyone. The several earth walls they created also greatly slowed down the attack speed of this group of wind wolves.
Among the remaining eight wind wolves, only three are mid-level, and the remaining five are low-level. Wu Tianmu, Zhang Baishan, and Song Qingming each chose a mid-level wind wolf, and the remaining five are low-level. Feng Lang was handed over to the Shi Chun brothers and sisters, and everyone faced off against the monsters. The battlefield was suddenly divided into five groups.
The most powerful among this group of monsters was the high-level wind wolf beast that Zhang Tieshan faced. Its cultivation had almost reached the peak of its Qi refining stage. Everyone present was fighting alone, but no one was sure of defeating this monster beast.
The high-level wind wolf beast's magical power is more powerful than Zhang Tieshan's, and it already has the upper hand. The few wind blades released from time to time also make Zhang Tieshan a little confused, but it is not easy for the demon wolf to defeat him in a short time. Although Zhang Tieshan is a little bit confused at this time It's embarrassing, but it can still be done by holding back this high-level demon wolf.
The mid-level wind wolves Wu Tianmu and Zhang Baishan faced were not bad at all. Although neither of them had any secrets at the beginning of the battle and each used their special skills, these two demon wolves were not easy to deal with. On the battlefield For the time being, the balance of power can only be maintained.
Only the mid-level wind wolf beast Song Qingming faced was slightly weaker. It seemed that it had not been long since he broke through to the mid-level. Song Qingming's cultivation and mana were much higher than that of it. As long as he fought steadily, it was only a matter of time before he could defeat the opponent.
Shi Chun, the brother and sister, also had a slight upper hand. As soon as several wind wolves started to attack, the brother and sister jointly killed one of them. Then they formed a group and couldn't do anything to them. Instead, they were killed by two The people cooperated perfectly and retreated continuously.
Compared to Song Qingming, Shi Chun and his team have greater advantages and are more hopeful of opening up the situation quickly.
In this life-and-death battle, there is not much difference in strength between the two sides. It is to see whether Zhang Tieshan can block the high-level wind wolf beast, and wait for Song Qingming or Shi Chun brother and sister to deal with their opponents first and break the deadlock in this battle.
