Chapter 500 On the Road

As the largest underground forest in the Northern Wilderness, the Wraith Cemetery contains ghosts, raptors and beasts, as well as many unique underground creatures. It has an ecological circle that can continue to circulate and even balance.After years of self-adjustment, the circle itself has become very stable, and because of this, the circle itself has a strong countermeasure against "outsiders".

The deeper one goes into it, the more intense one's feelings become.

In the shadows of the forest, wandering ghosts will blend in the rich yin environment, looking for targets and devouring people's yang energy; groups of ground wolves will hide in the soil, and when the target passes by, they will violently hurt people ; There are also higher-level demon heads, who have acquired spirituality after thousands of years of practice, and they are divided into regions and regions to control one side.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that such an environment is in danger every step of the way.

In addition, when people set foot in the area with a depth of about [-] li, it is already a big trouble to start a fire. Ordinary fires cannot be ignited at all.Under such circumstances, eating a cooked meal is really quite a luxury.

However, there are always exceptions.

In a corner of the forest, behind the shadows of trees, there is a fire flickering, and the rich aroma lingers here.If someone passed by, their eyeballs would protrude: there was actually a bonfire burning here, and it seemed that it was not affected by the strong Yin Qi at all!

As for those around the campfire, is it a barbecue?

Ghost Xiu obviously doesn't need to eat, but Kou Chu is doing the work of the chef. While turning the half-cooked ghost wolf on the shelf, while adjusting the intensity of the flame, he is so busy that the grease gradually seeps out and falls into the flame below. Among them, the flame is silver-white, which is the talisman fire gathered by the Taiyi Yandu Spark Talisman.

Originally, Kou Chu was quite terrified, but it was a kind of blasphemy to use the mana bestowed on it by the Shangxian to barbecue, but the Shangxian himself didn't care, and even asked for it himself, so he had no choice but to go hunting in person. , put up the airs and work hard.

However, seeing that the barbecue was ready, Shangxian went out but hadn't returned yet. In desperation, it could only shrink its firepower. It has to be said that after half a month of experience, it controlled the talisman fire bestowed by Shangxian more and more. It is becoming more and more handy, a ball of fire, the birth and death of nature, scattered and gathering, almost became its instinct, even the gods were amazed when they saw it.

Frankly, this gives it an unrivaled sense of satisfaction.

It turned its eyes away, beside the bonfire, Miss Qing did not follow Shangxian, but looked at the stone tablet that was acquired not long ago and was about to disintegrate at any time through the light of the fire, as if there was some great secret contained in it.Even further away, the "living Bodhisattva" who had given him the "Explanation of the Law of Impermanence" crossed his knees and lowered his eyes, as if he was in a trance or in a daze.

Perhaps sensing its gaze, You Rui raised her head, glanced at it coldly, did not speak, and lowered her face again.

Kou Chu didn't care too much, the nun has been like this for the past two days, and it's not bad now.

Of course You Rui was very annoyed, she felt that she was being tricked.

In her hands, she originally had the best route to Black Moon Lake. According to her plan, half a month would be more than enough time to get there.But now half a month has passed, and she has only walked one-fifth of the distance after calculating the distance, and the progress can be called horrific.

In fact, the speed of the group is not slow. In the perilous forest, they can advance more than [-] miles a day. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are rushing forward, but the problem is that these few days are completely circling in the underground forest!

Lu Dun didn't follow her wishes at all, she protested twice, but the other side ignored them all.This made her understand that the other party's next entrustment to her was actually... a drop in the road!

You Rui was really annoyed, but it was absolutely impossible to turn against Lu Dun.To this day, she still remembers how Lu Dun arranged her to go out of the city.

The group of people seemed to be strolling through the streets and alleys a few times, and then swaggered out of the city. The huge tentacles of Sanjiafang could only be mobilized in vain behind his buttocks. It felt like there was a bird that knew everything. Eyes, criticize the falsehood, take the overall situation, always avoid the danger before it touches it, with a posture of foresight.

This alone is enough for You Rui to have a new assessment of her strength.

To be honest, walking with this kind of person is very stressful for her, but at this stage, she still has to be with Lu Dun—the situation forces her to do so.

No one knows what's going on better than her.

No matter what she does or what Wang An and Zuo Gui do, they all involve a question that is a hundred times more important than the conflict, that is: Has the attitude of the top management of Sanjiafang changed towards her?

You Rui in Sanjiafang is a typical example of how a wife depends on her husband, at least in the eyes of Wang An, Zuo Gui and others, that's why they immediately changed their attitudes after the news of Xia Shuanghe's death came.But You Rui herself still has a certain amount of confidence that she can maintain her original status, although this confidence is relatively limited.

The Northern Wilderness is a very realistic place where strength dominates everything.

Buxu cultivation level and above must be the leader, and those below the Dan-returning realm are minions. As for the Dan-returning realm, a considerable number of people are stuck below the line of the Dan-returning middle-level, which is the overall lack. The suitable alchemy formula cannot be further improved on the basis of Cardinal Ding Ding.Of course, this kind of people can earn a certain status, but they can't make people look at it differently, but once they break through this line, their status will skyrocket immediately, especially the upper rank of Huan Dan. In a sense, they are already the backbone of the Northern Wilderness.

For example, Xia Shuanghe, who has a high-level cultivation of Huandan and a person with special skills, his identity can be said to be He Sanye's confidant, but he is more detached. Many times he can even discuss and argue with He Sanye. Accepted, this is already among the top ranks, and can sit on an equal footing with all the big bosses.

In terms of cultivation, You Rui and Xia Shuanghe are incomparable. This is her most intuitive impression and her biggest weakness. She is worried that she will be abandoned before she proves her worth.In the past few days, she regretted it more than once. For the sake of safety and decency, she borrowed Xia Shuanghe's momentum too often, which greatly lowered the evaluation of her. Therefore, she must show her value as soon as possible.

At this point, Lu Dun is actually a very good bargaining chip... It's just that she can't control this "chip".

Yu Ci didn't know how entangled his temporary "customer" was, he was busy now.

"found it."

Kneeling halfway on the ground, and scraping away the damp soil, Yu Ci found out the target from countless fine soil particles.Those are tiny particles that are no bigger than dust, the kind that can fly to the sky with just a sneeze, if you put them in the palm of your hand, if it wasn't for Yu Ci's spiritual sense to lock them in, they might be confused in the blink of an eye. In the dirt, no longer discernible.

"Why is it like this again?" Yu Ci was quite dissatisfied, the small particles were actually fragments of the magic weapon of the same origin as the metal moth in his hand, but it was too small.Such a volume has almost no research value and can only be preserved temporarily.

He sighed, took out a sealed metal box from the space of Yunloushu, and put the grains in. There were already seventeen or eight grains in the box, with different sizes, but the largest one was fine sand.This is what he has achieved in half a month.

In fact, there is still a small part, which seems to be structurally compatible with the metal moth, and it melts in as soon as it is discovered, making it one.So after placing it, Yu Ci took out the metal moth and wrapped it around the bottom of the box. Those fine particles were trembling slightly, echoing with the metal moth, but they didn't attach it in the end.

Today, on the left "wing" of the metal moth, there is a defect the size of a grain of rice that has been repaired. This is the biggest change in half a month.

Yu Ci is like playing a game of treasure hunting and jigsaw puzzles. He uses the light spots of the picture left in his heart to confirm the location of the magic weapon fragments, find out and see if they fit the metal moths, and as the location goes deeper, More picture light spots entered the sensing range and appeared one by one.

During this period of time, Yu Ci found more than 20 debris particles, but in the void in his heart, the number of those light spots of the picture did not decrease but increased. It has already exceeded [-], spread across thousands of miles, and there are gradually increasing trend.

"It would be great if they could fly here automatically..."

"Don't be greedy!" Shadow Ghost explained the essence of his thoughts, "During this period of time, your progress in chasing the Curse of Resurrecting the Soul and Fixing Stars has more than tripled that of the previous two years. Talisman, then find... two thousand grains?"

This number is a bit conservative, but since it is using external force, there is nothing to say, the effect will decrease if you take too much 'medicine', who knows what will happen to this thing?

"What are these fragments?"

Yu Ci's practice in this life is all self-cultivation and hard work, and he rarely takes foreign substances such as pills. The only exception is the Xuanzhen Congealing Void Pill secretly given to him by the old Taoist Yu Zhou, so he is still not very used to it. You have to get to the bottom of it to be comfortable.

Shadow Ghost had already said that he didn't know, so he naturally ignored him, but soon, this guy laughed again: "You believer, you are begging you to go back to eat barbecue."

Yu Ci had sensed it a long time ago, but of course he wasn't as boring as Shadow Ghost, he was more interested in Kou Chu's ability to control Taiyi Yandu Spark Talisman.

"During this period of time, it has made rapid progress." Yu Ci even felt that his own ability to 'manipulate' rune fires had fallen behind ghost cultivators. At least, he would never be able to control rune fires and roast meat. of.

"Ten powers cannot control one skill, but ten skills are no match for one letter."

I don't know how many times Shadow Ghost has said it, but Yu Ci is deeply convinced.Therefore, he deliberately took back all the other "gifted" talismans, leaving only this Taiyi Yandu Spark Talisman, and gave Shadow Ghost more opportunities to practice almost non-stop. Although ghosts are getting more intense, Yu Ci also has a deeper understanding of the mechanism of their operation.

In the void in the heart, Kou Chu's projection occupies a small place alone, and in its brain palace, the divine star shines brightly.
