When you walk out of the pass, you can immediately see the trees that cover the sky. They are tall and lush, growing almost close to the light curtain. The vines hang down in long lengths, swaying left and right in the strong wind.
The trees are obviously very dense, but there is a howling wind. You can't even tell where the wind is coming from. You can only feel that there are headwinds in front, back, left and right.
The leaves in the dense forest rustled, revealing the broken cement underneath, vaguely shaped like a bridge.
There used to be a bridge here?
"We are at the West Pass of Jiang City and head northwest quickly. It takes about one day to walk to Autumn Cloud Lake. We only have one night to pick Cloud Wave Snow Lotus. We will turn back immediately at dawn and return here after dark tomorrow."
Luo Bawen reiterated the guide posted in the group. It is difficult to identify the direction in Wasteland Zone, so you need to strictly follow the route. "This route is not very dangerous and is relatively easy to walk, so don't worry." Fat Auntie said with a smile, "I come here to collect Cloud Wave Snow Lotus every one or two years. I don't sell it for money, just to grind and refine the medicine myself, which can be used for beauty."
"I also want to give it to the alchemist." Dong Mengyao said, "It's too expensive to buy it in the market, so why not pick it yourself?"
"Although it's easy to walk, you still have to be vigilant." Luo Bawen's expression was extremely serious. "Anything can happen in Wasteland Zone, and we can't relax along the way. Let's keep a few meters apart, and I'll open the way in front. Two little brothers, you two, watch out on the left and right. Sister Yu, you look behind you, Miss Dong, you are in the middle to provide support, and if there is any sound, you will help as soon as possible."
As soon as he entered Wasteland Zone, his whole state was different, and his tone was much harsher.
It can be seen that as his name suggests, he really wants stability.
But Yue Wen knows that this is a good habit, and he honestly obeys the other party's arrangements and is optimistic about his own direction. Although he really wants to meet the monsters early and earn some Demon Suppressing Coin, he also knows that he cannot be anxious and must move forward steadily.
The so-called "fast march" means that they maintain the fast walking pace of the Gang Realm practitioners, not fast running or flying.
Changing the environment too quickly is a taboo in Wasteland Zone. If you rush in without exploring the surrounding environment, you are very likely to fall into the trap of evil spirits. Yes, Wasteland Zone is not an ordinary forest, and evil spirits are not ordinary beasts. Many evil spirits will make traps to hunt humans..." It is said that here There was a river in front of it. Later, the spiritual energy revived and the earth swelled, so the bridge was buried. But the river water did not disappear, because the river also swelled and turned into a more turbulent river flowing north. If we cross Vermilion Bird Peak, we can see the river." Fat Auntie explained the surrounding environment to everyone.
"There usually won't be too strong evil spirits in a place so close to the light curtain, because powerful evil spirits will seize the territory deep in Wasteland Zone. Only those weak evil spirits will be squeezed here."
Hearing what she said, Yue Wen also thought of humans.
The same is true in urban areas today. The richest and most powerful group of people occupy the most central positions, while the poor are squeezed to the outskirts of the city near Wasteland Zone. There is no essential difference between them and these evil spirits.
It's just that the methods are more civilized.
"Although I also like to be a tour guide when I go out with young people Wasteland Zone, but let's not talk about it for now and let them concentrate." Luo Bawen held a compass-shaped method in his hand. Qi, who was walking at the front of the team, suddenly warned, "There are evil spirits nearby." "Ho ho, I got it." Fat Auntie smiled and said, "I just like them and always want to say a few more words."
This is not a lie, she really likes these young people in the team.
The one named Yue Wen is handsome and has a good personality, and is very polite to others; the girl named Dong Mengyao is as beautiful as a flower and has a sweet smile; the one named Xiao is also a human being...
The pointer of the compass in Luo Bawen's hand was pointing in the direction. At this time, the center suddenly turned red, which should mean that there was an evil spirit approaching in a certain area. Yue Wen glanced at the Spirit Seeking Needle in his hand, which was shaking back and forth on the left and right sides.
This shows that there is more than one evil spirit hidden deep in the dense forest. When there are multiple evil spirits in the same area, Spirit Seeking Needle will lose its accurate direction. He holds Flying Sword in the palm of his hand, with a strong energy all over his body, ready to fight at any time.
Although this state consumes a lot of energy and energy, this is his first time Wasteland Zone, so it is better to be more alert than to be lax.
He still had one Blood Qi Biscuit and two Big White Rabbit Ate Tiger Subduing Pill, so he did not prepare any more pills for this Wasteland Zone trip. It was only a two-day and one-night trip, which should be enough.
"The evil spirits in Wasteland Zone will not necessarily attack humans." Fat Auntie said, "Evil spirits are smart. Sometimes they can judge that these humans are very strong and have no desire to occupy their own territory, so they will not take the initiative to attack. This is why you must form a team when you come to Wasteland Zone. Once there are more people, you can dissuade many evil spirits without fighting."
"Yes." Luo Bawen said, "Sister Yu is right, but we still have to be prepared to be attacked at any time. Don't think that these evil spirits are friendly, as long as you show a hint of weakness, they will immediately show their fangs!"
The old man also has mood guidance, so the newcomer's attention is focused on being alert to the surroundings.
Yue Wen has more thoughts in his mind, not only how to guard against evil spirits' attacks, but also how to attack evil spirits. It doesn't make much sense to him to go to Autumn Cloud Lake in such a calm way. At most, he can pick one Cloud Wave Snow Lotus and sell it back for money.
Suddenly, the pointer of Spirit Seeking Needle stopped, facing a position on the left front.
It means that one of the evil spirits on both sides has receded, but this one is still nearby, even closer! It was accurately captured by Spirit Seeking Needle. "There is an evil spirit."
Yue Wen shouted, and Flying Sword took action instantly, turning into a sharp stream of light, dragging the long tail of the sword energy, shooting a distance of two hundred meters, cutting off countless branches, and finally hit the target.
A cloud of blood mist burst out in a scoff!
Everyone looked around in shock, only to realize that there was a monster lying on the tree. It looked like a lizard, its skin turned into the color of tree bark, its limbs were claw-shaped, and its blood was hot.
"It's Illusion Lizard Beast." Luo Bawen recognized its origin. "It's a kind of monster that is very good at hiding itself. It's not very strong, but it's good at sneak attacks and can't be defended. Unfortunately, its flesh and bones are not valuable. The only valuable thing is its skin, which was penetrated."
"It's okay." Yue Wen smiled and said to everyone, "As long as it can help everyone reduce the risk."
Spirit Seeking Needle is temporarily motionless, indicating that there should be no evil spirits nearby for the time being.
However, we are not completely sure that if it is an evil spirit with a higher level of cultivation and can hide its own aura, it can hide it from Spirit Seeking Needle. After all, this is a magic weapon purchased from Big Dragon in the early stage. Although the effect is easy to use, the grade is not that high.
"Xiaoyue is so keen, then I can feel a little more at ease." Luo Bawen also smiled.
It was not difficult for everyone present to guess that Yue Wen had some kind of magic weapon that could detect the location of evil spirits, but at this time they all tacitly agreed not to ask.
In Wasteland Zone, if your teammates don't tell you, don't pry about the opponent's treasures or magic weapons... it's too sensitive.
According to the rules that evil spirits have their own territories, the monsters in this area have been cleared away. At least there will be no more within a certain distance. Luo Bawen also accelerated the pace of leading the team.
After walking out for another half an hour, Yue Wen and Spirit Seeking Needle began to rotate again. As he adjusted his wrist, the pointer began to tilt toward the ground. Is the evil spirit underground?
Yue Wen looked Spiritual Sense down, and soon saw something was wrong. Under a tree vine a few hundred meters away, there seemed to be a clump of weeds, and a section of whitish color was exposed at the roots of the grass.
And that's exactly where Spirit Seeking Needle is heading.
So Yue Wen took action again, "There is something evil!"
Phew
The sharp sword light broke through the air in one second and plunged far into the ground!
Poof.
A sword penetrated the top, and blood burst out from the weeds! It gushes out like a fountain.
"Oh..." A white bamboo-like monster with six long claws crawled out from the bottom of the grass roots.
It crawled out screaming and seemed to want to attack everyone, but before it could run a few steps, it fell to the ground.
"What is this?" Yue Wen said coldly, "It's watching us."
"This..." Luo Bawen looked from a distance, "It's Grass Head Mantis Demon. This monster looks like a mantis. It will burrow into the ground, leaving only a weed-like head outside. When people pass by, it will suddenly come out with all six claws, hacking people to death and devouring their internal organs."
Dong Mengyao looked at Yue Wen with some curiosity, "I seem to have remembered it, have you participated in Wangyou Media's live broadcast before, and you are called Ruthless Brother on the Internet?"
"Hi." Yue Wen quickly smiled and waved, "I did go there for a few days, but the nickname was just spread by netizens."
Well...
Several people looked at him and thought to themselves at the same time, it seemed that this was not a rumor.
Luo Bawen and Fat Auntie looked at him with slightly strange expressions.
Generally, young people who have just released Wasteland Zone are always a little afraid of the evil spirits here. Not only is this kid not afraid at all, but he also dares to go around looking for evil spirits to kill. Is this really the first time Wasteland Zone appears?
Dong Mengyao is also looking at Yue Wen with interest.
She is also a well-known social butterfly in the Jiang City casual cultivator circle. She has just broken through the Gang Realm recently, and is not familiar with the circle of the third level. After getting acquainted with Xiao Chubai, the other party said that he had Wasteland Zone experience and could take her with him, so she came along.
But when I came here, I found that the performance of Xiao Chubai seemed to be completely inferior to that of Yue Wen...
Xiao Chubai watched Yue Wen kill two evil spirits in a row, and felt a little impatient in his heart.
He was indeed interested in hooking up with Dong Mengyao, so he wanted to get close to her in the name of taking her to Wasteland Zone. This was just the beginning of the journey, and the relationship between the two parties was not that close yet.
It's the time when he needs to rely on his performance to win the favor of beauties.
Yue Wen's fierce killing of monsters over there completely overshadowed him.
In fact, Xiao Chubai has indeed entered Wasteland Zone several times before. In the past experience, in the initial section of the road outside Wasteland Zone, the evil spirits are not strong and the aggressiveness is also very weak, so there are usually few fights.
He originally wanted to paddle a little and wait until the evil spirits hit him in the middle of the journey before using his strength.
But why is this Yue Wen looking for evil spirits to kill at this time?
How did he find it?
And even if you know where the evil spirit is, it is so far away, do you still need to take action?
It has come out to spy on you. With so many practitioners of yours passing through their territory, is it too much for them to look up at you?
Xiao Chubai feels wronged for this evil spirit.
This Yue Wen is just for the limelight!
He couldn't help but worry a little, maybe this kid also had a crush on Dong Mengyao, so he was so eager to show off.
The problem is, Dong Mengyao she has no experience!
She didn't know that it was normal not to take action at this time. She didn't really think that this kid was better than herself, right?
Based on his understanding of Dong Mengyao, this woman has a strong attribute of admiration. So Xiao Chubai secretly decided in his heart that he needed to use his strength in advance. Whenever he saw evil spirits later, he would kill them even if it was not necessary.
Show your strength!
After walking for a while, the evil spirit in the dense forest became stronger and bolder.
Xiao Chubai After searching for a long time, Spiritual Sense finally noticed a pair of cold animal eyes in the forest ahead, staring at them. "There is something evil!"
He also shouted and took out four Golden Sabers. The handles of Golden Saber are ring-shaped and can be buckled together. They rotate like a golden wheel! Xiao Chubai has just turned a dazzling knife flower here.
A stream of light passed by over there, and with a bang, the big tree and a Spotted Giant Leopard behind the tree were pierced, and exploded into a ball of blood mist. With a hiss, Flying Sword returned to Yue Wen's palm, and he said coldly, "This beast's eyes are cold, it must have murderous intent..."
Xiao Chubai stood there blankly, expressionless, shouting silently in his heart, ah! What are you doing! I'm doing a cool kung fu here, what are you doing!
How come Xie Sui was snatched away in just one second?
I'm obviously in charge here!
Before he could finish shouting, Yue Wen suddenly struck back with another sword. Sword Control Art combined with Xun Sword True Art, the sword was as sharp as lightning and as fast as lightning. It was his strongest attack method, and he used it again and again without hesitation.
bang
A few hundred meters away in the opposite direction, a strange snake with a huge one eye hanging on a tree was pierced and exploded by a sword.
"You still dare to watch the excitement?" Yue Wen snorted coldly, "You must have evil intentions!"
These two swords, both positive and negative, sent shivers down the spines of several teammates.
So cruel...
So scary.
"That..." Luo Bawen said, "Xiaoyue, in order to make you be careful, what I said may have been a bit too harsh. In fact, Wasteland Zone's peripheral evil spirits, who are not strong enough, are facing us. Practitioners in this kind of team rarely attack on their own initiative. They usually only attack lone or injured practitioners. Although we have to be careful, there is no need to waste too much cultivation here. If you kill so fiercely, it is easy for the Gang Qi to be exhausted during the rest of the journey."
"Thank you, senior, for reminding me. I will pay attention." Yue Wen turned around and faced his teammates who were looking at each other with a warm smile like the spring breeze. "Everyone, there should be no evil spirits here. Let's move on."
"No, there's more!" His expression suddenly turned cold again, even a bit ferocious, "Do you think it will be okay if you hide underground? You want to escape!" Suddenly a dirt bag bulged from the ground in the distance and flew further away. Yue Wen transformed into a sword light and chased after it. After chasing it for several hundred meters, a Thunder Tiger Shocks Heaven Fist hit the ground.
With a bang, a big-headed Nightmare Object that was sneaking underground exploded out.
If it could speak human language, it would definitely shout, "I'm just passing by!"
It was actually an evil spirit nearby. It sensed the aura of death here and wanted to see if there were any fresh ghosts to devour. When I saw a group of Human Race practitioners here, I wanted to turn around and leave.
I never thought that this man would chase me and kill him!
Panic, fear and regret were written all over the big head.
Yue Wen turned over his hand and grabbed the hilt of the sword, with piercing eyes and a sharp voice, "Nightmare Object just go to reincarnation honestly!"
sneer
This sword severely split the Nightmare Object in half.
Then he took away his magical power and rushed back.
Facing the teammates in front of him, he smiled gently again, "Sorry for delaying everyone's journey. There are a lot of evil spirits nearby. This Nightmare Object just passed by from a distance. I suspect it has the intention to attack."
"Ho ho." Luo Bawen smiled, "It's okay, it's okay, keep going."
He discovered that Yue Wen's attitude has a lot to do with the other person's race.
This person's habit seems to be to be extremely vicious towards evil spirits. He won't even get close to him, and he will kill him even if he looks at him from afar... It's also a crime to pass by from a few hundred meters away!
Cruel and terrible.
But he is also polite to humans, and he is an extremely gentle young man who looks gentle and kind.
Although he himself felt that what he was going to say next was very strange coming from a human mouth, especially since he had killed many evil spirits in Wasteland Zone over the years, Luo Bawen still couldn't help but ask:
"Xiao Yue, are you... discriminatory against Xie Sui?
