Chapter 578: The Unknown Person
The wild sand is raging, the cold wind is like a knife, and there are undercurrents of quicksand that can swallow everything.
This is not a desert, it is clearly the gate of hell!
Such a dangerous and harsh place is beyond the reach of ordinary people, and no one has ever dared to go deep into it.
But at this time, in this terrible storm, a human figure was vaguely visible.
No, it’s not just one. If you look closely, there are at least dozens of them!
However, these figures have the same appearance, and they dissipate after staying for only a few breaths. It turns out that they are just some vague afterimages.
But as the leader continued to fly away like lightning, the afterimages behind him became more solid and lasted longer. At the same time, after a long period of practice, these afterimages were swallowed up by the quicksand as soon as they appeared. The miserable situation has now gradually become able to stay where it is.
This is the result of Ye Chunyang's two months of hard work.
A qualitative change and an obvious improvement.
Of course, this is inseparable from Pixiu's ability to sense wind direction and danger.
There was a soft "whoosh" sound, and Ye Chunyang looked back at the figure that was almost exactly the same as his original body and then quickly dispersed. His somewhat satisfied look quickly turned into disappointment.
"Not enough, the speed is still not fast enough!"
Ye Chunyang took a deep breath, feeling disappointed and increasingly feeling the need to practice harder.
Shadowless Escape has extremely strict requirements on speed. The more realistic the afterimage left behind after escaping, the faster the speed, and the escape method is close to perfection. However, the afterimage left behind still cannot last for long. The proof is different from the accomplishment. There is still some distance to go before the Gate Escape Technique.
What Ye Chunyang lacked most was patience and time. When he saw that the escape method had not yet reached his expectations, he recited the formula silently and started practicing again.
As he practiced for a long time, Ye Chunyang became more and more aware of the subtlety of this escape method. Even though he has not yet reached the level of Dacheng, the speed of the movement method is much faster than the escape methods he has practiced in the past. However, in terms of current results, at the same time, There are very few people who can surpass him in this level.
But Ye Chunyang knew what kind of opponents he would face in the future. With the strength of Wutianmen's pill-forming masters, his own escape speed was insignificant in front of them, and he was still a little short of a chance to escape with it.
What's more, behind Wutianmen, there is Wuchuanzi who is in the late stage of pill formation. This person makes Ye Chunyang feel the biggest crisis, so no matter how difficult it is, he must cultivate this method to perfection.
Crisis and pressure can often give people the greatest motivation. Over the years, Ye Chunyang has experienced too many crises and struggled to survive in countless adversities. His will has long been tempered to be extremely tenacious. Although the quicksand here is dangerous, it is not enough to let him down. He is afraid.
…
Day after day, time is like quicksand, and another three months have passed in a blink of an eye.
It was late at night, in a sand dune not far from here, there was a faint light flickering under the dark night. If you look closely, you can see two old men and an old woman.
These three people were dressed in strange costumes. They were wearing bones and teeth of various beasts, and black cloth bags were tied around their waists. Their heads were not the attire of ordinary monks, but were tied into a strange shape of birds and beasts, which looked very unusual.
But their moral practice is not shallow, and they are all in the late stage of magic.
Not long after flying away, the three of them stopped to explore, all showing solemn expressions.
After a while, the old woman took out a square black jade stone that looked like an inkstone and was constantly moving it. Every time she moved it, the light on it changed, but it never settled down.
The old woman frowned deeply when she saw this, with a gloomy look on her face.
"Two Taoist friends, I'm afraid we have really lost our way. My Lingfang Inkstone has always been an excellent treasure for finding the way, but now I can't sense any way out. Moreover, there are intensive storms nearby. If it goes on for a long time, it will be like this. Even my late-stage cultivation cannot withstand the consumption.”
The old woman felt the jade for a while, and said to the two old men beside her with an ugly expression.
One of the two old men had a strange face, with a ring of white bones and teeth hanging around his neck, while the other had dark skin and deep-set eyes, giving people a vague feeling of gloom.
Hearing what the old woman said, both of them's expressions darkened.
"Where exactly is this sea of sand? It's so vast and boundless. I've been waiting here for several months and still can't find the exit. It's really not good to go on like this." The old man with the bone ring on his face smiled bitterly.
He knew very well what kind of magical power the old woman's Lingfang Inkstone had. Even this treasure could not identify the direction in this sea of sand. The next situation might be unpredictable.
What worries them even more is that after walking for a long time, all the elixirs and spiritual stones they brought have been exhausted. If they can't get out of here, there is only a dead end waiting for them.
"If I had known this, I shouldn't have hastily set up the ancient teleportation array according to the formation diagram of unknown origin. Now that I have come to this inexplicable place, there must be an error in the teleportation. Now even if I am not trapped to death, my true energy will be It’s hard to support.”
The swarthy old man snorted, his expression particularly ugly.
As soon as these words came out, the old woman and the old man Bone Ya frowned at the same time, with different colors in their eyes, but they both fell silent for a moment.
After a long time, the old man Bone Ya sighed and said: "Fellow Daoist Feng, you don't know the situation at that time. The man who chased us was a man of great virtue and was bent on taking our lives. When he had no choice but to set up the formation according to the formation diagram, Is there any other way? I made this suggestion based on the fact that the distance covered by the ancient teleportation array is far greater than that of ordinary teleportation arrays. As for why I came here, I couldn't predict it. "
The dark old man was speechless for a long time, and finally he could only remain silent.
"Okay, it's useless to talk about it now. We still need to find a way to leave here as soon as possible. But judging from the situation at this time, this place should not be the Tianxing Sea. There is no desert in our Tianxing Sea."
After observing carefully, I stopped the argument between the two.
When the two of them heard this, their expressions became solemn.
The old man with bones and teeth looked around and said with a thoughtful expression: "What Taoist Friend Mei said makes sense. There are three mountains and four seas in the Chaos Demon Territory. In addition to our Tianxing Sea, there are also Lian Yun Sea, Ming Cang Sea and the West Sea. The three mountains are the sky." Chongshan, Suyang Mountain and Yuanxi Mountain, judging from the topography, this place should be one of the three mountains, but I don’t know which mountain it is.”
The swarthy old man opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he looked hesitant. He hesitated for a long time and could not say a word.
The old woman surnamed Mei saw a strange look on the dark old man's face, and a dark light flashed in her eyes.
But she didn't say anything more. Instead, she changed the subject and said: "Now we have no materials to deploy the ancient teleportation array. No matter where it is in the Chaos Demon Realm, we need to find an exit as soon as possible, otherwise there is only a dead end waiting for us. "
"What Fellow Daoist Mei said is absolutely true. The top priority at this time is to find an exit as soon as possible. We must not stay here any longer. As long as we can get out of this desert, we will have a chance to return to the Sea of Stars."
The old man with bones and teeth nodded in agreement.
The swarthy old man had no objections to this, and he didn't want to die here inexplicably.
But just as he was thinking of this, the dark old man looked somewhere inadvertently, his expression suddenly condensed, and he asked doubtfully: "Hey, what is that?"
The old woman surnamed Mei and the old man Guya were surprised when they heard the sound, and went as expected.
I saw a ray of golden light moving back and forth in the wind and sand, and there were bursts of quicksand in the strong wind, which were constantly sinking into the ground. However, this golden light seemed to have no hindrance in it, and any storm that came could be avoided in advance.
The three of them were slightly surprised. In confusion, they used their magic power to bless their eyes and used their magic to look at the quicksand sea. Only then did they realize that the golden light was actually a small beast that had always looked like a unicorn. Even though the quicksand was raging, the beast was still not surprised at all. Fearful look.
"This strange beast is..."
The three people couldn't hide their shock, but after looking at each other, they all seemed to see something, and there was a faint joy in their eyes.
"If I'm not mistaken, this beast should be Pixiu!"
The old man Bone Ya took a deep breath. This man was known for his extensive knowledge and knowledge. Through the appearance and characteristics of the little beast, he could tell what the beast was at a glance.
Even though they had already guessed something, the old woman surnamed Mei and the dark-skinned old man couldn't help but be surprised when they heard this.
"It is said that Pixiu has the gift of foreseeing dangers and seeking good fortune and avoiding them. He is also born with spiritual eyes and can discern the direction in any confusion. I never thought that such a beast really exists in the world!"
The old woman surnamed Mei was greatly surprised. Although she was not well versed in spiritual beasts, she had heard rumors about Pixiu, but this beast had long since disappeared and was not available today. It was unexpected that it would appear here.
"That's right." The old man Gu Ya pointed at the sea of quicksand in front of him and said, "Two fellow Taoists, let's see that this sea of Liusha is very wide and strong winds gather and never disperse. However, this beast can easily avoid it. If it weren't for Pixiu in the world, What kind of spiritual beast can achieve such magical powers?"
The old woman surnamed Mei and the dark-skinned old man nodded, deeply agreeing with what the old man said.
The old man Bone Ya glanced at the Pixiu again, suddenly laughed, and said: "I didn't expect that we were so lucky that we met Pixiu here. This beast can identify the direction in the sea of sand. All we need to do is capture it and let it lead the way." , we will definitely get out of this desert."
When the two heard this, they both had smiles on their faces.
But the old woman seemed to suddenly think of something. She frowned and said in confusion: "There is no one in the desert but a brave animal appears. Could it be a spiritual beast tamed by others? Will there be any trouble if we capture it?"
Hearing this reminder, the swarthy old man and the bone-toothed old man immediately became cautious. While the old woman was speaking, she also quietly released her spiritual perception. However, they were surprised to find that there was no sound in this place and there was no ghost.
"It seems that fellow Taoist Mei is overly worried. The environment here is dangerous. I am afraid that only people like us who were accidentally teleported will appear here. How can other people dare to go deep into it? Besides, although this Pixiu has extraordinary magical powers, it has no physical appearance and aura. It seems that it is still in its infancy. Even if it is a spiritual beast with an owner, how high can its owner's cultivation be?"
The old man Bone Ya also secretly explored the place, and was relieved when he found that no one was there.
"Fellow Daoist Wu's words make sense. Even if his master's cultivation is at a high level, with the three of us joining forces, as long as he is not a monk in the middle stage of pill formation or above, there is nothing he can do to us."
After hearing this analysis, the old woman surnamed Mei and the dark-skinned old man breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. Immediately, with joyful expressions on their faces, they began to cast spells and drive their bodies closer to the sea of quicksand.
