Chapter 160 Difficult Traveling and Divergent Roads
In the cave, after Yu Lie took out the flesh and blood of the lizard and looked at it, She Shuangbai also took out his own half of the flesh and blood.
Two big lumps of flesh and blood were placed in front of him. Yu Lie looked left and right, always feeling that the place where this piece of flesh and blood was divided into two seemed a little weird.
"Could this thing be..." Yu Lie muttered secretly in his heart.
However, although this mass of flesh and blood was columnar, it was bloody from top to bottom and had no skin, making Yu Lie unsure of its exact location.
He thought to himself: "It is better to do less than to do more. The quality of this Terror Lizard's flesh and blood is extraordinary. Even if it is not that suitable for me, it is enough to allow me to enter the eighth level. Even if the location it comes from is unworthy,
Could it be that we can still refuse?"
Yu Lie glanced at She Shuangbai, who was also looking at the flesh and blood next to him, and wisely chose to shut up: "If I say it out, it will only make She Shuangbai more unhappy and embarrassed."
The other party is a woman disguised as a man, so there should be a lot of taboos. It would be better for him to say less and do less.
Yu Lie remained silent, while She Shuangbai looked at the flesh and blood of the lizard, but her eyes became brighter and brighter, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.
However, She Shuangbai finally bowed to Yu Lie and shouted gratefully:
"Not only can I successfully escape this time, it is all thanks to Brother Yu. I also have to thank my fellow Taoist for being so generous. He cherishes his flesh and blood so much that he is willing to give half of it to me! With the help of this sixth-grade terror lizard's flesh and blood, I am here."
Blackwater Town is the right place!"
Seeing that She Shuangbai spoke so sincerely, Yu Lie felt satisfied in his heart.
Although he had no choice but to share the flesh in order to avoid disputes and let the other party attract attention for him. But when faced with the flesh and blood of a sixth-grade creature, let alone a Taoist boy, even a Taoist disciple, few people can be as decisive as him. Often,
It's normal to blow a dog's brain out.
So She Shuangbai bowed, and Yu Lie accepted it calmly.
With both the kindness of "saving lives" and the feeling of "gifting treasures", She Shuangbai's attitude towards Yu Lie was completely different from before, and she seemed to regard Yu Lie as a true friend.
Facing such a female Taoist with great strength and extraordinary background, although Yu Lie had no wrong thoughts, he was still happy to associate with her. Maybe he would have to find her to help him in order to achieve great success in cultivating Taoism in the future.
After all, he is just from a small family in Qian County. Even if he logs into the eighth level and becomes a Taoist disciple, his family will not be able to help him, and he will most likely have to work for a living.
The more Taoist friends there are, the easier the journey will undoubtedly be in the future.
In the cave, the relationship between the two of us became more and more harmonious. You were called "Brother Yu" and I was called "Brother She."
………………
After resting well for a day or two in the temporary cave, the remaining two people left the cave and headed northeast.
Although they already have the flesh and blood of the sixth-grade dinosaur lizard in their hands, and the two of them already have the main materials for promotion, whether it is She Shuangbai of Dragon Vein or Yu Lie of Pi Dao, if they want a more stable transformation, they need to work hard.
Adjust your status and prepare yourself.
The best one is for two people to enter a special spiritual quiet room in a Taoist town or city, fast for a while, and then make a breakthrough.
The most important thing when breaking through the ninth level into the eighth level is to breathe in spiritual energy and condense the true energy.
The spiritual energy quiet room is either opened on a spiritual vein. There is continuous spiritual energy flowing out of the quiet room, or at least there is a spirit gathering formation, etc., which allows the Taoist to arrange the spiritual stones on his own to create an environment rich in spiritual energy.
, completely different from the official quiet rooms in Blackwater Town.
With an aura-rich environment, Taoists can benefit greatly whether they are in the process of breakthrough or in the care stage after breakthrough.
Therefore, the purpose of the remaining two people is to go to a place with a spiritual quiet room.
Among them, the ordinary Taoist town has a small local population and few Taoist disciples. The spiritual quiet room is generally not open to the public. Even if it is open to the public, it is inconvenient for the two of them to rent it as outsiders. It is easy to attract attention and the gain outweighs the loss.
The most suitable place for two people is undoubtedly Dao County above Dao Town.
There is a large population in Daojun, and although the status of the upper-level Taoist boy is not low, it is really not conspicuous, and there are frequent trade exchanges in the county. The two of them blended in and rented the spiritual quiet room without being conspicuous.
At the end of the Heihe River Basin, within thousands of miles, there is only one Daojun—Qianjun!
This county is the hub of local transportation, the only way to reach the higher level Daocheng Prefecture, and it is also where Yu Lie's family lives. It is the next destination for the two of them.
However, Qian County is also a gathering place for those ghosts and gods who support Blackwater Town. They have to think carefully about how they should enter Qian County.
After all, the two of them had no road guide and fled Blackwater Town privately. They were considered "escape boys" in official terms. Once discovered, the risk was not small. First of all, the flesh and blood of the sixth-grade Terror Lizard in their hands would be taken away.
On the contrary, if the two of them were in the wild, they would have broken through to the eighth level. With the help of the fake dragon energy pot given in advance by the Master of Black Water Temple, they could also condense the Tao pot on their own.
At that time, you can enter Qianjun in a big way. You only need to go to the Taoist Temple in Qianjun to register, confirm your identity, and add annotations to your own Taoist temple.
Even if they were discovered by the ghosts and gods in Qian County, as serious eighth-level Taoist disciples, the two of them were qualified to protect the benefits in their hands.
But even so, after they were promoted to Taoist disciples, they still had to go to Qianjun, either to return home, or to pass through Qianjun before they could leave this place and go to other places.
Unfortunately, although the two men had good ideas and clear goals, they discovered a thorny problem after only two or three days of marching in the mountains.
That is, along the way, there were really many jackals, tigers, and leopards, and ferocious beasts and spirits were rampant.
Although they are the best among the Taoist boys in Blackwater, they are all at the peak of the ninth rank, and they are only one or two steps away from being promoted to Taoist disciples.
But falling into such desolate mountains and ridges, the march was trembling with fear, and it was quite difficult.
After walking hard for two days and three nights, they had to find a temporary cave to hide their presence.
This is because when they were crossing the mountains at night, they were not discovered by the ghosts and gods of Qian County, but they were spotted by a wolf spirit that was looking for food at night.
Originally, although this kind of spirit wolf monster was ranked in the seventh rank, it was a monster in the mountains and wilds, and most of them relied on brute force to dominate. The remaining two people had some tricks, so they would not be frightened by the other party to the point of drilling holes.
Even when Yu Lie took the food to enter the Tao and officially started practicing, he ate a nearly seventh-grade wolf demon.
But who knew that this wolf demon was different from the one Yu Lie met last time. It was not fighting alone, but a wolf king. There were three ferocious beast-level female wolves in his "harem".
This spirit led the tribe and ran rampant among the five mountains. Even when the large and small lizards that emerged from the secret realm of the lizards came, they were eaten and driven away by this wolf monster.
It was when the other party was hunting a seventh-grade dinosaur lizard that the two of them boldly picked peaches, hoping to steal the flesh and blood of the seventh-grade dinosaur lizard. They were targeted by the other party, and failed to pick the peaches. Instead, they were chased and killed.
.
In an inconspicuous underground cave.
She Shuangbai walked around the cave with a pretty face and a sullen look on her face. Her hair was messy and she was a little anxious. It was obvious that she had just suffered a small loss.
"This evil beast! How dare you look down on you and me. Brother Yu, did you see it? It was patrolling outside, just like a cat with a mouse. It was aloof and wanted to play with you and me."
She Shuangbai kept yelling in the cave, obviously hating her very much:
"It's just a monster. When the Taoist disciple of the alchemy room was making elixirs, he needed to consume a seventh-level spirit monster every day. If it weren't for its overwhelming power, you and I would have to save our resources and we would have torn it apart today!"
Yu Lie sat cross-legged and looked at the other person with a strange look in his eyes, but did not take what the other person said too seriously.
The decision to "pick peaches" this time was made by She Shuangbai, and Yu Lie just had to stand aside.
Yu Lie didn't agree at first, but when the other party said that the flesh and blood of the seventh-grade lizard was also rare, and the two of them did have some skills, and the mountain monster's method was simple, it was just stealing something, Yu Lie agreed.
.
In the end, they ended up in this situation. They fled and went directly into the hole.
After cursing, She Shuangbai finally stopped, and she sat cross-legged in the hole, adjusting her breath vigorously to regain her strength.
Seeing the other party's appearance, Yu Lie couldn't help but look at the other party again.
He didn't have any intention of comforting the other person, or finding the other person's angry appearance endearing, but he was wondering in his heart:
"How powerful and domineering was this guy before? Has he never been chased by a monster?"
Although Taoists are tyrannical beings who can eat all things, they are still just ninth-level Taoist boys. The fact that ninth-level Taoists dare to snatch food from the mouths of seventh-level monsters speaks volumes.
Even if you are chased and run away, it is normal, and it is even something that makes Yu Lie feel honored.
Yu Lie cursed wildly, then suppressed his thoughts and focused on recovering his strength. Being chased by the wolf demon, although he did not suffer as much as She Shuangbai did, the consumption was not small.
Yu Lie also vaguely realized that the next journey for him and She Shuangbai might be completely unexpected and very difficult.
He secretly thought: "It seems that the elixirs and spells should be used sparingly."
As expected, the two of them hid in a cave for three days, emerged again, and rushed towards Qianjun.
They hadn't walked for two days when they met another seventh-grade monster.
This monster is even more difficult to deal with than the wolf monster last time. It not only has a powerful monster body, but also has the ability to be a ghost. One tiger can make a crowd. It can also speak human words to trap and kill its prey.
If the two of them hadn't been really rich in means and had prepared various spells in advance for the sake of experience, including ones that could break illusions and exorcise ghosts, they might have been deceived by this monster and suffered even greater hardships.
Finally, the two of them hid in a huge tree hole again.
She Shuangbai cursed again:
"It's just a weird cat. It's not even qualified to ride for me. How dare you bully me!"
The rest of them sat cross-legged and said nothing.
After hiding for two days, the two set off again.
As a result, the next day we encountered a swarm of murderous bees. Although this creature was no longer a seventh-grade spirit, it could only be considered an eighth-grade monster.
But for some reason, a black bear monster threw the honeycomb in front of them after eating it, and then ran away with its butt stuck out.
So the remaining two were chased by a swarm of killer bees all over the sky, and they hid in a puddle to escape.
After landing, She Shuangbai's eyes turned red and she cursed again:
"How dare you harm me, the shameless black bear! How dare you sting me, the bee!"
Yu Lie sat next to the other party, grinning hoarsely and touching the red envelope that was stung on his body.
He didn't feel any pain, after all, he was particularly resistant to poisons, and he was a little happy that his body was invulnerable to all poisons. It had probably been refined. However, it was not convenient for him to be alone.
the fourth time.
The two of them watched six directions and listened to the movements in all directions. Yu Lie also released the black myna in the piggy bag as a sentinel.
Unexpectedly, a red golden eagle flew above their heads and wanted to pick off their heads and suck them, catching the two of them off guard again.
As for the myna released by Yu Lie, it was already caught in the claws of the golden eagle and squeezed half to death.
The two finally couldn't help it this time, and fought with the golden eagle. Fire pills and paper talismans flew together, and their trump cards were revealed.
In the end, they still failed to capture and kill the opponent. They only picked up the half-dead myna and let the golden eagle fly away crookedly.
This time, She Shuangbai's voice became lowered and she just cursed secretly: "Damn flat-haired beast, how dare you bully me!"
The two of them now realized for themselves why the three towns in Heihe were built around the Heihe River. It was not for the convenience of water, but for the purpose of having river channels available.
Although there are many ferocious beasts and spirits in the Black River, Taoists can travel in large boats and rely on boats to compete with the ferocious beasts and spirits in the water, and they can also carry large amounts of goods.
Similar to what they are doing now, there may have never been a Taoist boy traveling through the Heihe River Basin on foot since the establishment of the three towns.
Yu Lie also sighed:
"It's no wonder that the town is very lax about Taoist boys going out, and doesn't care whether they escape accidentally. As long as the town controls the ferry and the boats, even if a high-ranking Taoist boy wants to escape and cross the entire Heihe River Basin, life or death will be unpredictable.
"
He touched the black myna whose head was almost crushed by the golden eagle, and there was a worried look in his eyes.
The next day, continue on the road.
The two found a river, gathered their breath, and moved on a raft.
As a result, the raft was accidentally bitten by a ferocious beast in the river. If Yu Lie hadn't transformed into a black snake fish and escaped in vain with She Shuang on his back, the two of them would probably have seen blood in the water.
Once again, the two of them encountered a herd of elephants on the road and avoided them.
Once again, the two of them encountered a canyon. It was not very wide, but because the talisman in the air was exhausted and the bottom was dangerous, they had to take a long detour.
…
More than a month has passed, and the remaining two people have only just made their way to Qian County. Most of the provisions they have prepared for training have been consumed.
After being chased by a monster again, She Shuangbai had completely gotten used to it, but she still kept saying:
"You're just a monster, how dare you bully me..."
Yu Lie sat cross-legged next to her as usual, and he began to guess that the two of them might have to try to transform in the wild.
Otherwise, if this continues and a few more mistakes occur, someone may be seriously injured or even killed in the mouth of an animal.
And if the breakthrough is successful, it will be much easier whether it is to continue crossing the Heihe River Basin or to return to the three Blackwater towns and wait for the ships to come and go.
Before Yu Lie could say anything, the female voice beside her suddenly took out something on her own.
The female Taoist stared at half of the sixth-grade lizard's flesh and blood, her eyes were bloodshot and beating fiercely, she couldn't wait any longer...
