Changyang

Countless giant red stones located on this vast land have been eroded by the wind, and over time they have formed a maze-like cliff forest.

It was still dark before Chang Yang and the two jumped down. After passing through the formation, it was daylight when they landed.

Apparently they have arrived at the boundary cliff, an area where the gaps between the four realms are intertwined.

The two of them had never crossed the boundary cliff before. Ping Qingyun looked around curiously. When he followed Chang Yang through a long and narrow red stone forest, he reached out to touch the red stone beside him and found that it could be crushed with a little force. He just twisted it with his fingertips. turned into red powder.

"Chang Yang, I don't think there are any monsters here." After walking for a long time, Ping Qingyun's vigilance relaxed for the most part, and his mouth felt dry. He tried to use the water gathering technique, "There is no grass growing in this place, and it is difficult to even gather water."

Not only the water, but also the spiritual energy is extremely thin, and even if you want to control the sword, you have to completely expend your spiritual energy.

Chang Yang raised his head and looked at the giant red stone forest around him: "I'll go up and have a look."

"Be careful." Ping Qingyun warned, "these red stones are not strong."

Changyang raised her breath and jumped up, lightly stepping on the red stone cliff, and quickly climbed up. After reaching the top of a red stone cliff, she did not stop, leaped forward, and continued to run towards the highest red stone nearby.

After a moment, she stood at the highest point and looked around.

The endless red stone flakes stand densely together, like a maze. At a cursory glance, there is nothing.

Changyang turned around and looked back. Underground, Ping Qingyun was raising his head and waving. She turned to look in the distance, and saw the towering red stone.

She held her sword and flew down: "There are only red stones everywhere nearby."

Ping Qingyun asked: "Can we go out?"

"It will be difficult to get out within a few days." Chang Yang thought of the red stone flakes in the distance, "It's too vast here."

Ping Qingyun wiped his sweat and said, "It's really dry and hot here, and there's very little spiritual energy."

The points for the upper five levels were mainly calculated by obtaining demon pills. The goal of the two of them was to find the demon beasts, but after walking for almost a day, they still saw no trace of the demon beasts.

Ping Qingyun's Taoist robe was wet and dry, dry and wet again, and he was almost exhausted. He glanced at Chang Yang who was not tired next to him, and he doubted whether he was in the late stage of Jindan.

After walking for a day, he was now tired and thirsty.

"Have a rest." Chang Yang noticed his gaze and finally found a red rock with leeward direction and stopped.

Ping Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the gravel ground that was still warm from the sun. But at night, the temperature began to drop again, and the hot wind turned into cold wind.

"It's a bit like the yellow desert when we entered the Star Boundary." Ping Qingyun suddenly smiled, "Without you, I might not even be able to touch the door to the Star Boundary."

"It's a ship that can't board the spirit world." Chang Yang ruthlessly exposed his original strength, and then took out a bag of water from the storage bag and handed it to Ping Qingyun, "I don't bring much water, so save it and drink it. "

She was used to keeping some water and Bigu Pills on her body, but the low-end storage bag had limited space, so she could only pick out important things, and she came in a hurry, so there wasn't much water.

"You actually brought water!" Ping Qingyun received it in surprise, opened the water bag, took a sip, moistened his throat, and returned it to Chang Yang.

"No, it's yours." Changyang didn't answer, "I still have it."

The two sat on the ground. Ping Qingyun moved his fingertips and raised a spiritual shield to cover them, blocking the cold air outside.

"Monsters will appear at any time, so don't waste your spiritual energy." Chang Yang reminded.

"Just for a while, warm up first." Ping Qingyun smiled.

After a while, he removed the spirit shield.

At this time, a gust of night wind blew, and the sand and rocks on the ground rustled.

Ping Qingyun looked at the red rock not far behind Changyang, and suddenly noticed something white. He couldn't help but stand up: "What is that?"

Changyang looked back, and sure enough he saw a small piece of white stuff.

"Go over and have a look." Ping Qingyun walked forward, using his spiritual power with one hand to hold up the spiritual shield at any time.

Chang Yang followed closely with his sword raised.

When the two of them got closer, they discovered that it was a complete set of animal bones, with no trace of fur or animal flesh around it.

Ping Qingyun hesitated: "A weathered monster?"

This set of animal bones looks too fresh, not like a long-dead and weathered monster.

Chang Yang walked around the animal bones and found no fatal injuries on the bones.

Here Ping Qingyun has reached out to touch the beast's bones: "It's very smooth. It probably hasn't experienced much sandstorms. This monster probably died not long ago."

But why did the complete animal bones fall off shortly after death?

Ping Qingyun touched the animal bones and suddenly felt his hands were a little sticky. He let out a sigh and raised his hands to look at his fingers in the moonlight: "What is this?"

Changyang frowned and looked, and she smelled a very light and very sweet scent.

"It's so sweet." Ping Qingyun also sniffed his fingers and was suddenly surprised, "It seems like honey?"

Everything is weird.

The two of them looked at each other, feeling an inexplicable sense of crisis and becoming vigilant.

"Wash your hands clean with water." Chang Yang reminded.

Ping Qingyun didn't care about the water, and quickly poured the water into his hands and quickly scrubbed them clean.

He smelled it carefully and made sure that the sweet smell was gone, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Changyang released his spiritual consciousness and tried to detect the surrounding situation, but found no abnormalities.

"Chang Yang, let's go." Ping Qingyun was interrupted and had no intention of resting, "At least there are monsters in this stone forest."

……

Late at night, under the moonlight, several people walked out of the nearby red rock cliff, and one person put away his magical weapon.

"Successful."

"It's not in vain that I wasted so much effort and broke two protective weapons to get a little colorless honey."

"Do you still want to follow?"

"Follow, don't let them use the Life Pearl."

"Our clothes..."

"Change, this is the Yi Rong Dan, eat it."...

In the silence of the night, Chang Yang could only hear the strange whining sound of the wind passing through the cave, and the footsteps of Ping Qingyun behind him.

A gust of wind blew, and red rocks and sand fell down, hitting her shoulders.

Chang Yang looked sideways at the red sand on his shoulder, looking in the direction just now, squinting slightly, and saw a half-knuckle-sized flaming red ant pushing out of the broken sand on the high red rock wall.

The fire-red ants almost blended in with the color of the red stone. She might not have been able to notice it if the two whiskers on her head hadn't trembled.

"Hiss!" Ping Qingyun suddenly took a breath and shook his hand violently, "Something bites me!"

Changyang turned to look at him: "What?"

Ping Qingyun stretched out his hand and saw that a small piece of meat was missing from his index finger, and blood was flowing out. Almost instantly, he felt something was wrong: "My spiritual power is losing... Changyang, be careful!"

His eyes widened, and regardless of his injured fingers, he pulled Chang Yang over and held up the spirit shield with his other hand.

Chang Yang looked back and saw that the red stone cliff from before was shattered into powder and fell towards them with a crash.

No, rather a mountain of fire-red ants fell towards the two of them.

These red ants landed on the spiritual shield held up by Ping Qingyun and clung to it, opening and closing their mouthparts.

It is almost visible to the naked eye that this spiritual shield has become lighter.

Ping Qingyun can only output spiritual power and instill it into the spiritual shield.

"They are devouring the spirit shield." Chang Yang almost instantly remembered the brand-new animal bones, "I count to three, you take the spirit shield."

Ping Qingyun agreed without hesitation: "Okay."

"one two Three!"

When Changyang counted to three, Ping Qingyun instantly closed the spirit shield.

Without the spirit shield, the red ants suddenly fell on them, but Chang Yang had already swung his sword and knocked them away with a strong sword energy.

"go!"

Changyang grabbed Ping Qingyun and ran in the other direction.

"There's one here too!" Ping Qingyun's sharp eyes immediately discovered that the new red rock collapsed and countless red ants came over.

Without looking back, Chang Yang slashed wildly with his sword and pushed them away with his sword energy.

Seeing this, Ping Qingyun could only wait for the right moment to use the spirit shield to protect the two of them and prevent the red ants from falling on them.

But red ants can eat the spiritual shield, but within one stick of incense, half of his spiritual power will be lost.

"It would be great if these red ants also had demon pills." Ping Qingyun said happily, "With so many, our points will definitely increase a lot."

During the break, Chang Yang turned to look at him and found that Ping Qingyun's face was flushed. He frowned and said, "You are not in the right state."

Ping Qingyun shook his head: "I'm fine, just a little dizzy."

Chang Yang frowned and glanced at his bitten index finger: "Those red ants are poisonous."

The red ants that fell from the inside of the red stone landed on the ground, and they came in dense numbers like a tidal wave. They chased after the two men and were able to swallow everything.

Ping Qingyun took a step slower, and in almost the blink of an eye, the toes of his shoes were eaten by red ants, leaving only five toes exposed.

He shrank back his feet in shock, and even his groggy mind became a little clearer.

Changyang smashed the surrounding red stones with a sword, causing them to collapse behind him, but the red ants were still chasing them as if they were walking on flat ground.

There was a problem with the previous animal bones.

After this thought flashed through Changyang's mind, he looked at Ping Qingyun's hand again, which was caused by the sweet and sticky colorless substance.

I've washed it with water, but the smell still can't be removed?

"Senior, do you know the origin of these red ants?" Chang Yang asked Changhua in Lingtaizhong.

Changhua said: "The soul-devouring red ants are weak individually, but they often move out in swarms. Wherever they go, there are no living creatures."

Chang Yang frowned: "Is their saliva on the animal bones?"

Changhua thought for a while and tried to pull out a bit from the incomplete memory: "It's not like saliva, but it seems like the queen ants produce a kind of colorless honey. This stuff is a material for refining weapons."

Red ants kept coming from all directions. Seeing that he was surrounded by them, Chang Yang subconsciously glanced at the storage bag on his waist. There was a life bead in it. He only had to crush it to get out.

"Can you still persist?" Chang Yang asked.

Ping Qingyun had forced all the ant poison in his meridians to his fingers. Through the bite wound, dark red blood flowed out in a trickle: "Yes."

"Okay." Chang Yang turned around, moved his wrist slightly, and slashed out of the deep ravine with his sword, trying to block the running red ants.

But those soul-eating red ants were smarter than expected. They stuck together tightly and built an ant bridge. The other red ants quickly stepped on the bridge to chase after them.

"boom!"

A stream of spiritual fire spurted out, burning the line of red ants that were about to catch up with Changyang Heping Qingyun.

Chang Yang turned around in surprise and saw a young monk wearing Beidou Pavilion's star robe.

The other party asked them: "Fellow Taoist, are you okay?"

Another streak of spiritual fire burned the spirit-eating red ants running towards him, and the dry air was suddenly filled with the smell of burnt meat.

"Let's go west." Beidou Pavilion monk shouted to the two of them with a burst of spiritual fire that temporarily suppressed the incoming red ants.

"Nascent Soul Realm." Ping Qingyun could feel that the other party's strength was higher than his own, and he was slightly happy in his heart, "He is also a monk of Beidou Pavilion."

Soon, the two's escape turned into three's escape.

The new Beidou Pavilion monk was an alchemist and possessed spiritual fire, which actually bought them a lot of time.

"Do you know us?" Chang Yang asked the other party while running.

The Beidou Pavilion alchemy monk laughed: "Who doesn't know you? Don't die. You still owe a lot of points."
