Mortal Bones

"That thing... is so disgusting and dirty! I don't want to die in its hands!"

Duan Xiaoyu yelled with her face that was a little distorted from running.

Xu Taiping was speechless.

"boom!"

At this moment, there was another loud noise behind the two people, and then the ground under their feet began to tremble violently. A terrifying wave of spiritual power, wrapped in a thick fishy smell, swept from behind the two people like a tide. .

The two of them could guess it even if they didn't look back.

The wild beast must have emerged from the ground.

"Zheng!"

Seeing this, Xu Taiping had no reservations and flew up with his sword. At the same time, he also extended his hand to the little fish:

"Catch me if you don't want to die!"

"Um!"

Duan Xiaoyu, who was so nervous that he was about to cry, grabbed Xu Taiping's outstretched hand.

Amidst the sound of "咻" piercing the air, a sword light flew out from the mountain forest.

In just a blink of an eye, he had already flown to the top of a mountain on the opposite side.

An angry roar then resounded through the forest where Fengqi Palace was located.

…

"Huang Yepo, fortunately, it's not far from Xingluo Lake."

After burning the incense, Xu Taiping carefully searched the map in front of him in a stone building built with huge stones, and finally confirmed their current location.

Just now he was just focused on escaping, and he didn't care about the direction and distance. He ran with his sword all the way and didn't stop until his true energy was almost exhausted.

"vomit!……"

At this time, a sound of vomiting suddenly sounded in a room next to Shilou.

"Are you OK?"

Xu Taiping raised his head and asked next door.

"No, it's okay, I'm fine, Brother Taiping!"

Duan Xiaoyu's weak voice came from next door.

"It's fine." Xu Taiping nodded.

He had heard of a lot of people who were seasick, but this was the first time he had seen someone as dizzy as Duan Xiaoyu.

"If I remember correctly, this blood moon tide will last for at least three days without any intervention. In other words, within these three days, if it is not necessary, try not to go out."

While he was thinking this, he compared the map and began to check what monsters were nearby.

This map was revised by Sister Lingyue and is more complete than the one given by Jiufu.

"I'm... so unlucky!"

Xu Taiping, who was checking the map, suddenly frowned.

I saw that his finger on the map happened to land on a skull above, and next to the skull, there was a line of small words written in beautiful handwriting -

"Here lies the ancient ferocious beast, the red-scaled leopard. For the practitioners in our world, this red-scaled leopard is a good prey. Its fur and bones can be used as medicine, and the leopard's gall can warm and nourish the soul. But for you, For practitioners in Piantiandi, it can only be regarded as a nightmare, and its strength is at least equivalent to that of Tongxuan realm monks."

"However, unless the blood moon tide comes, the chance of it waking up from the ground is very small, which is why it has never been hunted by monks."

After reading Sister Lingyue's annotations again, Xu Taiping felt his scalp numb.

Now I can only hope that this vicious beast will not wake up.

Even if you wake up, don't come to us.

While he was thinking this, he continued to check, and found that except for the red-scaled leopard that might wake up, there were no particularly powerful beasts in this area.

It can be considered a blessing among misfortunes.

"No matter what, leave this place immediately after three days, find the things along the original route, and then crush the scroll and go out."

He thought to himself as he put away the map.

As for Yuhu Peak, he still doesn't plan to go there this time because the risk is too great.

Because according to Fairy Lingyue, once the blood moon tide begins, more ancient beasts will awaken there. Even if the blood moon tide ends, some ancient beasts may not fall asleep.

In this case, Sansan layman should be able to understand that he failed to cut down the plum tree, right?

Just as Xu Taiping was thinking this, he suddenly felt a heat in his chest.

"Um?"

He felt a little strangely in his chest and clothes, and then found that what was generating heat was actually the token given to him by Jiufu.

This token was sent by Jiufu when he invited him.

Xu Taiping didn't care about its specific function at the time, and just regarded it as an ordinary traffic order.

After taking out the pass, Xu Taiping found a few words on the originally empty back of the pass - "Is Taiping here? Is Taiping still alive?"

"This thing can still be used for communication?"

Xu Taiping said with some surprise.

Although he didn't know who asked him this, he now wanted to know what was happening in the outside world.

"I'm still alive, who are you?"

Xu Taiping held the jade pendant tightly, and then used his spiritual thoughts to leave a line of words on it according to the method of using the jade slip for communication.

"Great! Taiping, you are still alive!"

"Taiping, it's me, I'm Huangque."

Two lines of words appeared from the jade slip.

"It's actually Brother Huangque."

Xu Taiping was also a little surprised.

"Brother Huangque, what exactly happened outside? Why did a blood moon appear in Jade Gourd Peak? A monster became extremely violent. I even saw a wild beast that only appeared in ancient books."

Xu Taiping immediately conveyed briefly what he saw and heard here.

"It's actually true. There's actually a blood moon tidal wave in the Immortal Caldera Cave!"

"An hour ago, we completely cut off contact with the inside, and the image in the bronze mirror showed only a demon eye."

"The Nine Prefectures token in your hand is the only way for us to contact the inside."

A few lines of words soon appeared on the token.

"What happened?"

Xu Taiping asked quickly.

"Yuqing Jushi may not be able to survive."

Just a simple line of words, but Xu Taiping felt his scalp tingling.

"The specific matter is too complicated, and it also involves many secrets that cannot be passed on, so it is inconvenient to explain it to you in detail here."

"Taiping, put these questions aside for now, I have a very important thing for you to do now."

"This matter concerns the life and death of you and the disciples of the Nine Prefectures Sect inside!"
