chapter161The moment the tide of demon beasts dived out of the water, Su Ziyi's expression was still a little abrupt.Crawling out of the lake and wiping his wet face, he sat down on the ground without paying attention to any image and gasped for breath, and continued to think about the stone seat in his heart.If this stone seat is the same as in the mysterious valley, will the stone seat reappear next month when the moon is full?
Although it was only a suspicion, Su Ziyi was already half sure in his heart.At the same time, he also realized that at this time and a half, I am afraid that there will be no demon beasts close here, so he might as well leave here and go to other places to explore, consolidate his cultivation, and wait until next month before the full moon to come here to explore and verify what he thinks.Therefore, after changing his clothes and filling his stomach, Su Ziyi turned around and went into the forest.The place where the lake is located is already a little deep into the inner layer of the Meteoric Immortal Forest, and there will definitely be many dangers that he can't solve if he continues to go inside.So after thinking about it for a while, Su Ziyi decided to go back, after all, he hadn't seen anyone from the family come to the lake in the past two days, so they must have already left this area.It was only when he was just out of the lake that he was dissuaded by what he saw.Because of the red line, there is no blood around the lake.But here, less than two feet in front of him, traces of blood reappeared, not blood, but blood that had dried up to the point of being somewhat blackened, and it mixed with the branches and shrubs that had fallen to the ground to create a new battlefield.If it was just a trace of a demon beast battle, Su Ziyi would not be too surprised.But the battlefield in front of you is just too big!
The trees on Su Ziyi's left and right sides of nearly ten zhang have been damaged to varying degrees, each tree is sticky with bloodstains, and the thinner trees even fall directly to the ground, making the entire forest look bare, and the various secrets in the forest are directly swept into the sunlight at a glance.Smelling the still thick smell of blood, Su Ziyi frowned.He looked ahead, only to find that everywhere he looked, everything was tossed as if it were here.This is not just a battlefield where demon beasts fight, this is simply the ruins left by the crossing of the demon beast group!
Retreating to the lake, Su Ziyi looked in other directions, only to find that the forests in other places were intact, only this one leading to the outer layer of the Meteorite Forest was devastated.In this way, could it be that the demon beasts that gathered on the edge of the lake that day did not go directly back to their lair, but flocked to the outer layer from this direction together?
This thought instantly made Su Ziyi's heart stagnate.He no longer stopped thinking in place, but turned and ran in the direction of the outer woods.He had never read about such an abnormal situation of demon beasts in any classics, and he didn't know where these demon beasts that were rushing towards the outer layer of the Fallen Immortal Forest would end up, and whether they would enter the town.Will it hurt the people in the town?
Will Bian Qing and Su Yulang, who stayed at home and waited for him to go back, be threatened?
These questions filled his mind and made him anxious.As soon as he stepped into the battlefield left by the demon beasts, Su Ziyi found more demon beast remains, and also saw several complete demon beast skeletons, the flesh on their bodies was gnawed by other demon beasts, and only some inedible parts fell to the ground, attracting a lot of mosquitoes and flies to buzz around them.Looking at all this, Su Ziyi became more and more worried.Different from the low-level existences of the first and second order, when the demon beasts reach the fourth or fifth order, they have extremely their own territorial significance, and almost all of them are like lone rangers.Therefore, they often do not act in groups, and even if they accidentally meet, they will deter first, and neither side will fight until they retreat.And now, everything I saw in front of me was no longer a matter of two demon beasts, but a group of demon beasts.They are completely ignorant of race, unflinching, and attack each other like crazy.Even if other members of the same kind paid the price with their lives, they did not flinch at all, and still gathered together and continued to run in the direction of the outer periphery of the Falling Immortal Forest.Therefore, there is definitely something strange about this group of demon beasts.The battlefield under his feet was not interrupted or forked, so Su Ziyi could track their footprints without too much effort, and he also saw more fresh blood and demon beast wreckage.He ran all the way to the junction between the inner layer and the middle layer of the Fallen Immortal Forest.It was only at this time that he breathed a sigh of relief.There is no other reason, it is precisely because the battlefield of the demon beasts immediately turned around after extending to the junction of the inner layer and the middle layer, and shot towards the inner forest again.It can be seen that the demon beasts will not leave the inner layer, step into the middle layer or even the outer layer, and will not harass the people in Qixia Town.After letting go of the things he was worried about, Su Ziyi also found that a thin layer of cold sweat had appeared on his body.He looked around, and after a few rounds of searching, he found that there were no other animals here except for some small animals that were not very threatening, and it was much better than the lake.He also used his divine sense to search for traces of cultivators, and only found one or two extinguished bonfires, and judging from the traces of extinguishment, it was at least a day or two later.However, Su Ziyi didn't find any cultivators' stumps or relics, indicating that they left before the demon beasts arrived.Did you leave in a hurry, or did you have a plan?
This question swirled in Su Ziyi's mind, making him think more deeply about what he encountered this time.He didn't continue to follow the traces of the demon beasts, nor did he change directions to find other demon beasts to practice, but plunged headlong into the middle layer full of miasma, because he had already guessed it through.Judging from what he had observed along the way, I was afraid that this large area of third-order demon beasts had been scared away by the terrifying aura of that group of demon beasts, and he was looking for it in vain.The same is true for the middle layer.Until he ran all the way to the junction of the middle layer and the outer layer, his divine sense did not detect any trace of the demon beasts, but as soon as he emerged from the miasma, he felt several demon beasts in front of him, and these demon beasts had always inhabited the middle layer before.Looks like they've all made it to the outer layers.In addition to the demon beasts, Su Ziyi also rediscovered the traces of the cultivators.After a few crossings, Su Ziyi jumped onto the tree, and used the trunk of the tree to head in the direction of the nearest demon beast.There was also a reason why he would choose that direction, because he once again found traces of the Xiang family, and he also saw an old acquaintance inside-Xiang Nanyu, the master of Xiang Mansion in Shuiyun Town.Xiang Nanyu is besieging a pair of black cats with other children of the Xiang family, one male and one female, among them, the female black cat also has a big belly that is about to hang to the ground, and it is obvious that there is already a little black cat inside.Such prey is extremely valuable in their eyes, because when the demon beast is giving birth to offspring, most of the aura in its body is gathered on the embryo, which makes the value of the embryo instantly increase several times.So even if Xiang Nanyu could barely single out two black crooks alone, he still commanded the people next to him to go together.One is to avoid accidents, and the other is to train the descendants of the family, so as not to have the strength to cultivate and fight.Seeing that the two black cats were about to be unable to hold on, Xiang Nanyu felt that a cultivator's aura stronger than him was approaching them at this time.He instantly became serious, and with a wave of the sword in his hand, he finished off the female black car, which was already the end of the strong crossbow, and then let the others besiege the male black car, and he looked in that direction by himself.He was a little worried that it was someone from another family or the government, but when his divine sense swept over, this worry was instantly put down, and a look of happiness and pain appeared on his face.He really didn't expect that he would meet Su Ziyi again here, even if Xiang Zuo had already told himself.Su Ziyi's speed was very fast, and when the others just finished the battle, he appeared in Xiang Nanyu's sight.When he found that Xiang Nanyu was looking in his direction, he immediately jumped down from the tree without twisting and landed in front of Xiang Nanyu, arching his hand towards Xiang Nanyu with a smile on his face: "Long time no see, Master Xiang." ”"Long time no see, Brother Su."
When the divine sense touched the other party, Xiang Nanyu found that he couldn't see through the other party's cultivation at all, and his face suddenly smiled bitterly: "However, Brother Su, your cultivation progress is rapid, I'm afraid I can't afford you anymore." ”"What a thing."
When he came into contact with Xiang Nanyu, he was still at the seventh layer of qi refining, so the other party looked like this now, and he also guessed it.But even so, Su Ziyi didn't hold the shelf, but said quite sincerely: "At the beginning in Luoshan Village, Xiangfu gave us too much help to our family, and kindness has always kept me and my husband in mind, how can I erase it from my heart because of this little thing now?"
”He deliberately made a slight face: "That's too bad for the fundamentals of being a human being." ”Hearing Su Ziyi say this, Xiang Nanyu felt a little better.Although he suffered a great crime at the hands of that senior, he couldn't resist or retaliate at all, because the difference in strength between them was too great.On the contrary, it is now that Su Ziyi's style makes him appreciate the other party even more, obviously he has such a good backer behind him, but he doesn't show off his face, and his down-to-earth cultivation and management is really a person worth befriending.Immediately, his smile towards Su Ziyi became much more real: "Then it would be a bit hypocritical for me to shirk it again, but the name of Master Xiang is too rusty, if Brother Su doesn't mind, you might as well call me big brother." ”He smiled heartily, looking similar to when Su Ziyi first saw him."
Brother Xiang."
Su Ziyi changed his words from the goodness, anyway, if the relationship with Xiangfu is here, their family's life in Qixia Town will be much better, so why bother with a title.Xiang Nanyu was quite concerned, after seeing Su Ziyi change his words without any embarrassment, he was relieved in his heart, and he said with some concern: "I heard Xiang Zuo say that you came to Qixia Town before, but I haven't been able to touch you because of time, it's a pity, I don't know if you are doing well here?"
”This is a bit false, but Su Ziyi didn't care, and only said, "It's okay." ”After that, he singled out one or two things that could be said.Next to him, the other Xiang family disciples couldn't help but show curious looks on their faces as soon as Su Ziyi appeared.They don't have the same high cultivation as Xiang Nanyu, but at a glance, they can find that the momentum of this young man who is about the same age as them is much stronger than them, and listening to the meaning of Xiang Nanyu's words, I am afraid that this young man surnamed Su is stronger than him.But how is this possible?
The eighth layer of Qi refining in Xiangnanyu is already the best among the young people of the entire Xiangfu Mansion, but now a young man who came out of nowhere can actually be more powerful than him?
Suspiciously, they stared at Su Ziyi with sparkling eyes, as if they wanted to disassemble Su Ziyi's whole person with their eyes and understand where he came from.It's just that even if their eyes turn into substance, they can't come to any conclusions, they can only see that the clothes worn by this young man are not luxurious, and the long sword tied to his waist is only a mortal iron, not a spiritual weapon, which really does not look like what a child of a family should have.So, is it a casual practice?
As soon as the idea came into their minds, they all rejected it.Because this idea is more devastating and cruel than the others, and they don't want to take it!
Su Ziyi didn't care about the sight of this group of people, and he didn't even have the mood to glance over and take a look.He was talking to Xiang Nanyu about the situation of the demon beasts that appeared nearby: "As soon as I arrived here, I found no less than five traces of second-order demon beasts, which is really much more than the last time I came. ”He looked as if he had really come from the outermost layer."
It's always going to be like this for a while."
Xiang Nanyu was not too suspicious of Su Ziyi's reason for saying this, although the number of people who knew about this kind of thing was limited, but if he was willing to inquire, he could still inquire: "There will be a beast tide in the inner layer of the Falling Immortal Forest every ten years, and a large number of high-level demon beasts will gather together and wander freely in the inner layer, forcing other low-level demon beasts to retreat, and those second-order demon beasts in the middle layer are even more unbearable and escape. ”"How can such a thing happen?
I've had a lot of experience. ”Su Ziyi looked surprised."
During the beast tide period, those demon beasts are irrational, and they kill what they encounter."
Xiang Nanyu sighed: "I once heard people say that the source of the beast tide started from a lake, but I don't know what the specific situation looks like, after all, so many high-level demon beasts converge together, and people who don't have the strength above the golden pill are afraid that their mood will not be calm." ”"Indeed."
Su Ziyi smacked his lips and said in response, but only he knew what the true emotions in his heart were like, but no matter what, he was smiling on his face.
