Chapter 173: There Are Really Road Crazies in the World
"Senior, we have discussed it! If you give us six thousand high-level spiritual stones, this stone will be yours!" Bian Ji held the meteorite, stared into the woman's eyes, and said cautiously.
"Oh, okay, sure." The woman nodded. Surprisingly, she didn't make a counter-offer, which made Bian Ji, who was already ready to bargain, feel a little disappointed.
"Senior, don't you want to haggle over the price?" Bian Ji shook the stone in his hand and carefully confirmed.
"No need." The woman shook her head and put two fingers between her eyebrows. After a moment, the light flashed slightly on the spot between her eyebrows, and there was already a storage ring in her hand.
The woman threw the storage ring to Bian Ji, waiting for him to check the spirit stone inside. But Bian Ji was already trembling with fright at the way the woman took out the storage ring - when she took out the object from the center of her eyebrows, the woman turned out to be Lianxu
Seniors!
It is true that people cannot be judged by appearance, and sea water cannot be measured... Seniors in the Void Refining Stage can actually get lost...
Bian Ji took a quick look at the spiritual stones in the storage ring. Six thousand high-level spiritual stones were neatly stacked in one place. They were more than the three of them had earned after two or three years of hard work!
This is the easiest and most generous amount of spiritual stones they have ever earned in their lives.
"Thank you, senior! This is yours, please keep it!" Bian Ji held the storage ring tightly in his hand, and held the meteorite respectfully in his other hand and handed it to the woman.
"Thank you!" The woman waved from the air and took the meteorite into her hand out of thin air. After looking up and down for a few times, the meteorite actually seemed to melt under the gaze of Bian Ji and others.
Little by little, it "melted" into the woman's palm and disappeared without a trace.
After absorbing the meteorite, a satisfied smile appeared on the woman's face. She smiled sweetly at the three of them, nodded and thanked her. She was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly she turned back with a slight frown.
Come here.
Seeing that the woman's expression seemed a little unhappy, Bian Ji hurriedly bowed his hands and said, "I wonder if you have any other instructions, senior?"
The woman looked at Leng Jie and Gao Mo, who were standing next to Bian Ji with indifferent faces, frowned and said, "I just smiled at you and said hello, but what do you mean? I'll tell you the first thing.
From the beginning of the conversation, you two have been expressionless all the time. It's fine if you don't say a word. I have already spoken to thank you and say goodbye, but you still don't say a word? Will you die if you say one more word? "
Bian Ji hurriedly waved his hands to smooth things over and said: "Senior, don't blame me, senior, don't blame me. These two brothers are a bit aloof. They have too many things on their minds, so they often only say a limited number of words and easily ignore others. Absolutely not.
I intentionally neglected my seniors, but yes, they are indeed used to this, and are used to it... Please forgive me, seniors! Forgive me!"
The woman looked at Leng Jie and Gao Mo, and saw that the two men's eyes were blurred, as if they were far away from home. Although the anger in her heart had been diluted a lot, she still couldn't help complaining: "It's really rude! Even if
You really have a lot of things to do every day, how long does it take to say hello to others? It’s really convincing..."
After saying that, the woman snorted coldly, not wanting to argue with these two people anymore, she turned around and turned into a ray of light, flying straight to the northeast...

A few hours ago.
"What's going on?! How come I can't sense Qu Siqiu?!" Qu Wuming suddenly stopped hiding and looked toward the horizon in confusion.
When he sensed that the sword spirit Xiao Yuan was teleported to a far away place along with the woman in white, he could still communicate with Qu Siqiu in the sea of consciousness. Qu Wuming sensed that the distance between them was relatively close.
, then he told Qu Siqiu to go to the location of the woman in white and take care of her.
But when he also left Snowy City in Northern Xinjiang, he discovered that Qu Siqiu, whom he could still contact not long ago... actually lost contact.
Qu Siqiu's demon clone seeds are all normal, which means that Qu Siqiu is not in any danger for his life.
But he still couldn't make contact with him in his spiritual consciousness.
There can only be one explanation - the distance between Qu Wuming and Qu Siqiu is too far.
Or they are separated by different spaces and it is difficult to communicate across the space barrier.
Or, the distance is simply too far, exceeding the distance limit of spiritual communication between the main body and the clone.
"Boss, could it be that Qu Siqiu... ran away?"
Although Qu Wuming didn't want to admit this fact, he still sighed after a moment and said: "There is a possibility..."
Qu Wushe: "What...what should I do?"
"We have to go find her first..." Qu Wuming sighed, "Xiao Yuan and the others seem to have teleported again, and now I can't sense it either. I won't lose all my clones and my immortal sword as soon as I set off.
Isn’t it? If that’s the case, it would be too unlucky!”
Saying that, Qu Wuming didn't waste any more time, and after a brief identification of the direction, he turned into a ray of light and flew towards the direction where Qu Siqiu was last sensed.
the next day.
"Boss, I finally found you!" Qu Siqiu had tears in his eyes and flew to Qu Wuming's side with an aggrieved look on his face. He threw all his previous reserve to the sky, threw himself into Qu Wuming's arms and wiped away his tears, "I
Flying, flying, I can't sense you, I thought I was going to get lost, but I was scared to death, wuwuwu..."
Qu Wuming had been holding back a lot of anger and wanted to vent it. Seeing that Qu Siqiu was already aggrieved and bursting into tears, he didn't have the nerve to criticize her, so he could only pat Qu Siqiu's back to comfort him:
"It's okay, it's okay, haven't I found it? Just found it, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"
"Well, well..." Qu Siqiu was still sobbing, "Boss, why do you think I got lost while walking? I was obviously going in the direction you instructed!"
When Qu Wuming heard this question, he felt speechless in his heart.
Yes, how can you get lost just walking?
Qu Siqiu seems to be a very understanding person, why doesn't he know the way?
Not to mention the distance, obviously in the past two hours, the two people's sense of connection has become stronger and stronger. They might have met in half an hour if they flew in a straight line, but Qu Siqiu gradually turned around when flying in a straight line.
bend……
Qu Wuming patted Qu Siqiu's back to comfort her, and at the same time took advantage of his body to quietly check Qu Siqiu's previous memories.
After a while, Qu Wuming felt speechless in his heart to an extent that was difficult to add.
After some inspection, Qu Wuming discovered that the reason why Qu Siqiu got lost so easily was that she was too curious. Sometimes she would stop at any time when she saw some plants and animals she had never seen before while flying by.
Come down and observe for a while before continuing on your way.
On the other hand, he is a simple road idiot.
Once you stop, soon everything in all directions will look brand new. You don’t even know how to distinguish the southeast from the northwest, so when you continue to move forward, the direction is sometimes based on the fog...
"Is there really such a creature as Lu Chi?!" Qu Wuming helplessly put his hand on his forehead.
"It seems that I can only keep her by my side from now on..." Qu Wuming finally comforted Qu Siqiu and let her return to the Zi Mansion space to practice. Then he calmed down and started on his way again.
The route that had been planned long ago had to be re-planned because of the detour in search of Qu Siqiu.
Fortunately, Qu Wuming was very familiar with the area near the Snow Mountain and Baichuan Plain, and he quickly decided on a new route.
"Now that we have deviated from the safe route from Snowy City in Northern Xinjiang to Benniu Plains and then to Huangfengling Ridge, we can go northwest from Baichuan Plains and only need to pass through Huan Yanze to enter the territory of the Fox Clan."
In Qu Wuming's mind, the general map of the Northland had already been unfolded. He already knew where to go and where to avoid as much as possible in advance. "I hope the Beast Tide Fox Clan did not suffer any big losses this time, otherwise even if they enter
If we enter the Fox Clan territory, I'm afraid we have to cross the border quietly. I don't know what happened to that little girl Su Lian'er."
Qu Wuming was thinking as he took out a shuttle and jumped in.
Baichuan Plain is still an area with relatively frequent human activities, and there have always been few big demons. Qu Wuming no longer hides his traces, but in order to speed up and save some mana, he chooses to drive the shuttle and continue forward.
Three days later, the dense woods of Baichuan Plain gradually became a distant scenery.
What appeared in front of Qu Wuming was an endless, smoky swamp.
Here is one of the most famous dangerous places in the North, the Phantom Smoke.
The size of Huanyanze is not inferior to that of the Baichuan Plain with its verdant mountains, and even its area is even larger.
Moreover, unlike Mokawahara where there are very few monsters, especially big monsters, Phantom Smoke is a place with many monsters. There are probably not even a thousand but eight hundred types of monsters living in Phantom Smoke.
, among which there are many very powerful monsters.
If it were normal, Qu Wuming would rather take a detour than cross the phantom smoke.
However, this time we had to take the risk and travel through it.
After all, due to the beast tide, we have been delayed in the snowy city of Northern Xinjiang for too long. This time we searched for Qu Siqiu and took a lot of detours. If we continue to take detours leisurely, once there is another
If something happened to delay it and miss the opening day of the Underworld, it would be more than worth the gain.
Qu Wuming stopped the shuttle at the edge of the phantom smoke, looked at the vast swamp ahead, took a deep breath, put the shuttle away, and turned into a stream of light and flew in.
The last time I entered Huanyanze, I came here hundreds of years ago to collect medicinal herbs. However, after going a hundred miles deep, I experienced several fights. After finding the medicinal materials, I hurriedly retreated out the same way.
But this time, it was to cross the entire phantom smoke.
The goal Qu Wuming set for himself was three days.
Within three days, he crossed the Huanyanze in a straight line and entered the territory of the Fox Clan.
As for riding the silver eagle puppet given by Han Tian to cross the phantom smoke from high altitude, Qu Wuming had ruled it out as an option very early on.
Otherwise, there are more than one kind of great bird monsters living in the phantom smoke. If you fly over their territory from high altitude, you will violate their taboo, and you will most likely be attacked by a group.
In addition, now that Yuan Cha Sword is no longer in his hand, Qu Wuming is still prepared to keep a low profile as much as possible, even if it is through bribery, as long as he can get through Huan Yanze safely...
