"Sorry, fellow Taoists, the little girl couldn't help herself."
Soon, Mu Yunyan completed the worship, cleaned up the paper money and ashes, and returned to the team.
"It doesn't matter, let's continue on our way."
We are all grasshoppers on a rope now. As long as we don't go too far, we still have to endure it.
They are all hundreds of years old and have long passed the self-centered age. They all maintain a considerable degree of restraint.
If you just pay homage, it is still within the acceptable range.
As Mu Yunyan entered the envelope of "Qinghunsha", it didn't take long for the five of them to continue their journey.
…
As the stars move, the stars and the moon gradually fade away, a ray of morning light cuts through the darkness, and the dawn has arrived.
After half a day of driving and maintaining a speed of about two thousand miles, Liu Yu and his party arrived at the first difficulty - Tianying Ridge.
After a quick exchange of spiritual consciousness, the five people stopped at the same time, and their spiritual consciousness explored forward.
With a thought in Liu Yu's mind, powerful spiritual consciousness with a range of eighty miles spread out from the center of her eyebrows and swept forward.
Dozens of miles ahead, a majestic Lingshan Mountain is the most eye-catching sight.
The height of this mountain is nearly 2,000 feet, and its spiritual veins are as high as the third-level high-grade. It is covered with lush forests of ancient trees and wild vegetation.
However, what Liu Yu is most concerned about is obviously not Lingshan itself, but the Han Tianying clan living in it.
His consciousness swept over him, and he instantly locked onto the location of its lair.
It was a steep cliff with rugged rocks and extremely steep hills.
It is located in the middle and upper level of the third-level Lingshan Mountain, and there are several spiritual energy nodes at the same time. It is the location with the richest spiritual energy in the entire Lingshan Mountain.
It is about 1,500 feet from the horizon.
In the observation with spiritual consciousness, there are eagle nests on the cliff, which are densely packed and occupy most of the space on the cliff.
These eagle nests have an overall oval shape and are made of dried spiritual grass and spiritual wood, exuding rich spiritual energy.
If an ordinary monk saw such a waste of natural resources, they would definitely shout about such a waste of natural resources!
"Tweet"
In some eagle nests, there are monster eggs and newly hatched chicks that are emitting their tender first calls.
They can't fly yet, so they have no advantage against ordinary monsters. They don't even have feathers, and their aura is extremely weak.
Even though you have the blood of a spirit demon, if you are not careful, you will still become food for other monsters.
Therefore, in order to protect the safety of the young eagles and prevent the premature death rate of newborns in the group from being too high, the eagle parents will take care of the young eagles until they have full feathers and are ready to fly.
"Tweet"
In the cliffs, the calls of young eagles kept coming and going, full of joyful emotions.
Some young eagles have opened their eyes and are looking at the world curiously.
The feathers on their thin wings are sparse and not as black and shiny as adult Han Tianying.
Anyway, it's a dull gray color and looks a bit ugly.
Perhaps because they were hungry or too bored, some young eagles flapped their wings and started playing with their brothers and sisters.
As the young eagle was restless, pieces of fragile feathers flew out of the nest, fell from high in the sky, and landed in the woods at the foot of Lingshan Mountain.
"Tweet"
But maybe the children were too naughty and woke up the sleeping adult Han Tianying.
The broad wings fell down, shrouding the noisy young eagles in shadow, and easily suppressed the "naughty children".
The hawk's cry that came up and down on the cliffs finally subsided a little.
"Ugh~!"
Around Lingshan Mountain, adult cold sky eagles ranging from several feet to several feet are circling and flying, emitting loud eagle calls from time to time, forming a beautiful scenery.
Among them, some are only at the first level, and some have reached the second level.
Some people have had enough rest and want to move their muscles and bones, or they want to exercise to facilitate digestion after eating.
Some are just adults, more lively and active, and are practicing their housekeeping skills. They can't stop flying.
"Ugh~!"
From time to time in the distant sky, there was an eagle call, echoing the sounds around Lingshan.
Soon after the sound falls, the Han Tianying will appear and return to its nest after returning from hunting.
This Lingshan Mountain is undoubtedly a beautiful home, a perfect hunting ground, and a happy harbor for the Han Tianying clan.
But for human monks, it is a dangerous place. Once discovered, there will be no bones left!!
Everything was seen by Liu Yu.
"The Han Tianying clan in Tianying Ridge, including those who have not returned from hunting, is estimated to be about two thousand."
"Among them, there are as many as three to four hundred that have reached the second level."
After a rough calculation, Liu Yu came to the conclusion and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
This scale is already comparable to that of the sect's foundation-building disciples.
"As expected of the spirit demon bloodline, the chance of advancing to the second level is much easier than that of ordinary monsters."
Liu Yu was secretly shocked.
If he was targeted by three to four hundred second-level cold sky eagles, even he would have no choice but to run away in confusion.
Not to mention, there are still third-level demon cultivators in their tribe, and the number is unknown.
However, judging from the number of second-level Han Tianying, including the bonus of the spirit demon bloodline, the number must be more than five, or even far beyond.
After all, once you become a third-level demon cultivator, you will have advanced wisdom and will no longer be a low-level demon beast acting on instinct.
Out of the instinct to strengthen the clan, it may help those of the same clan who are on the verge of promotion, thereby increasing their chances of promotion again.
Han Tianying is a demon bird that maintains the habit of living in groups!
The "demon consciousness" of third-level monsters is no longer weaker than the spiritual consciousness of immortal cultivators. Some monsters with keen spiritual senses are very sensitive to spiritual consciousness scanning.
Therefore, to be cautious, Liu Yu did not directly observe the third-order Han Tianying with his spiritual consciousness.
Just based on the size of the group, it is estimated that the number of third-level Sky Eagles will reach that level.
That's a power that five people can't match!
"After crossing Tianying Ridge, we still need to consider this matter in the long term and not rush it."
Liu Yu said with a solemn expression.
He put his hands behind his back and stared in the direction of the cliff. His eyes seemed to travel through space and directly see the scene of the cliff.
"What fellow Taoist Qingyang said is true."
At this time, Mu Yuyan also observed the situation clearly, her eyebrows slightly furrowed and her expression serious.
Zhuo Mengzhen, Gao Jianhan, and Canglou also had a general understanding of the strength of the Han Tianying clan, and they nodded slightly without any objection.
After reaching an agreement, the five people fell down at the same time and fell into a tall forest.
With the cover of the "Qinghunsha" magic weapon, the low-level monsters were unaware of these people.
After landing, several people fell into silence, as if they were thinking about something, weighing the pros and cons in their minds.
"Everyone, now that we have reached this point, there is no need to hide and tuck in."
"In Liu's opinion, we should exchange information about Tianying Ridge from our respective sects."
"Otherwise, there is no need to continue this mission, why not just go home!"
After a few breaths of silence, Liu Yu took the lead to break the silence and said in a deep voice.
Without waiting for others to speak, he continued:
"About Tianying Ridge, the information collected by our sect is"
He spoke unhurriedly, telling all the information collected by Yuanyang Sect about the Han Tianying clan and Tianying Ridge.
As long as they don't give up on their mission, they will exchange information about their respective sects sooner or later. They are still hesitating at this time, but it's just the constraints of their previous concepts.
In order not to waste time, Liu Yu chose to speak out first to break the deadlock and make a good start.
If the first cooperation is not successful, or is not clean enough, it will undoubtedly cast a layer of haze on the rest of the journey.
He didn't want to see such a situation.
When you stay in a place full of monsters, every minute means more danger.
If conditions permit, Liu Yu still hopes to leave as soon as possible.
"Fellow Taoist Qingyang's words make sense. At this time, we should let go of our past prejudices and not have too many reservations."
"About the Han Tianying Clan and Tianying Ridge, our sect"
The old Taoist Canglou then spoke and told the situation of the Qingxu Sect.
Liu Yu heard that the information from the Qingxu Sect was almost the same as that from the Yuanyang Sect, but the details were different.
After all, Tianying Ridge is located on the outer edge of the Hengduan Mountains. It is not difficult for the Five Sects to explore here, as they have a relatively detailed understanding of the place.
"About Tianying Ridge, our sect."
"This sect."
"My sect."
As Liu Yu and Canglou Lao Dao chose to be honest with each other, Zhuo Mengzhen, Gao Jianhan, and Mu Yunyan also spoke one after another, telling all the information they knew.
After some exchanges, the five people combined the information held by each sect and gained a clear understanding of all aspects of the Han Tianying Clan and Tianying Ridge.
Including Han Tianying's weaknesses and some habits.
"Looking at it this way, it would be better for us to stay put."
"Han Tianying's eyes are sharp, especially those who have reached the third level. Their eagle pupils can see through illusions and deceptions."
"Even with the "Qinghun Sha", there is a high chance that we will be discovered."
"The Cold Sky Eagle maintains certain habits of eagles. It generally likes to hunt during the day, but its activity level is greatly reduced at night, and it usually returns to the eagle's nest to rest."
"In Liu's opinion, it would be better for me to wait until night before continuing on our way."
After thinking for a while, Liu Yu said calmly.
The Cold Sky Eagle is a flying monster. It not only has excellent vision during the day, but also has an extremely wide field of vision, so the risk of traveling during the day is greater.
His eagle eyes are even more useful than his divine sense in finding targets.
But once at night, its line of sight will be greatly affected, and the possibility of being discovered will be greatly reduced.
If you use the "Qinghun Yarn" then, it will be relatively safe as long as you drive close to the Tianying Ridge border.
After the words fell, the four people nodded one after another.
"Yes, this is a great plan!"
Zhuo Mengzhen and Gao Jianhan thought about it and based on Han Tianying's habits, they felt that Liu Yu's plan was very feasible.
Maybe they have similar thoughts in their hearts.
As for detouring away from Tianying Ridge and entering the areas of other demon cultivators, Liu Yu and the others have no such idea for the time being.
Regarding the information on Tianying Ridge, the five sects have collected the most complete information. There have been successful cases in the past, and people have traveled through Tianying Ridge without anyone noticing.
Since there are successful cases before, there is no need to look far away.
Since the alliance has formulated this route, it naturally believes that this route is the safest and has the most complete information collection.
If you choose an unfamiliar route rashly, the risk will increase exponentially.
Once the route in front changes, the connection with the route behind will be another problem.
It will be another trouble to solve it when the time comes.
Therefore, Liu Yu would not think of making a rash change unless absolutely necessary.
After formulating a plan, the five people reached a consensus and discussed various details, as well as solutions to some unexpected situations.
Afterwards, he silently observed Tianying Ridge with his spiritual consciousness and waited in place.
As soon as the night gets dark, we start "smuggling".
In the forest, the roars of various monsters and the chirping of insects came one after another, forming a symphony.
Wait patiently as time passes.
As time went by, one after another the winter eagles returned from hunting and returned to their nests one after another.
On the cliff of Lingshan Mountain, a cold eagle stayed in its nest, its cold and ruthless eagle eyes silently staring in all directions.
Only when he lowers his head to look at the young eagle and the monster egg, the coldness and ruthlessness in the eagle's eyes will be somewhat relieved.
…
While waiting, time seemed extremely slow.
Living in the Hengduan Mountains where danger can be encountered at any time, even if Liu Yu is as calm as Liu Yu, his heart will be filled with waves from time to time.
Fortunately, no accident occurred. When the time finally came, he let out a breath of turbid air, and the uneasiness in his heart dissipated a lot.
"it's time."
Estimating the time, Liu Yu suddenly spoke, and his spiritual consciousness transmitted messages to the four "teammates".
"It's already midnight. It's time for me to set off."
Canglou Lao Dao nodded and felt that the right time had come.
Among the team, Liu Yu was more active and expressed more opinions.
As for the other three, they talk less and generally rarely express opinions.
Especially Gao Jianhan, who rarely takes the initiative to ask questions.
After a spiritual exchange, the five people all decided to set off and took action immediately.
Zhuo Mengzhen mobilized Qinghunsha to cover the team, and all five of them used light-body spells such as "Wind Control" to bless themselves and speed up their journey.
Under Han Tianying's nose, if he is still flying in the air, he is undoubtedly a living target and will be easily discovered by the third-level demon cultivator among them.
The "Green Soul Veil" magic weapon is not omnipotent. It can only cover the breath, spiritual pressure and body. It is powerless against the wind and noise generated during flight.
Under such circumstances, Liu Yu and others naturally had no choice but to walk and keep a low profile when they should.
However, the five of them are all golden elixir monks, and their bodies have been cleansed by spiritual energy. Even if they are not monks who specialize in body training, they are not comparable to ordinary people.
About five hours is enough time to cross Tianying Ridge.
"tread"
The dead branches were stepped on, making extremely subtle noises, and the five people quickly walked through the dense forest.
Thanks to the strength of the physical body, even without flying in the air, the speed is almost the same as that of a monk in the Qi refining stage who controls a magic weapon.
"squeak?!"
Under an ancient tree, a squirrel raised its head warily and looked in the direction in which the people were leaving.
It clearly heard movement just now, but when it looked carefully, there was nothing.
How strange!
With a squirrel's simple little brain, it's natural that he can't figure out why.
However, for safety reasons, it still hugged a pine cone and quickly moved to another place.
It was an unusual situation. It was likely that a jungle predator was approaching and had already set itself as a target.
This is the lesson learned from the blood and tears of our ancestors, an instinct engraved in our blood, so the little squirrel is very careful.
In the forest, the chirping of insects is still coming and going, as if it will never stop.
Taking advantage of the thick darkness of night, Liu Yu and the other five people marched quickly along the border of Tianying Ridge.
Take advantage of the darkness!
In less than half an hour, we arrived at the central area and were about to pass Tianying Ridge and leave the most dangerous area.
As long as we go more than ten miles and have the cover of the "Qinghunsha" magic weapon, the risk factor will plummet.
At this distance, with the eyesight of the Jindan monk, he could barely see the situation on the cliff without using his spiritual consciousness.
That was a first-order and second-order cold sky eagle.
Deeper into the cliff, there are still a dozen or so auras of a higher level of essence.
Third level Sky Eagle!
This thought crossed Liu Yu's mind and he couldn't help but hold his breath.
Even with the protection of magic weapons, they did not consciously try their best to restrain their own aura and spiritual pressure. The same was true for the other four people.
Time passed by, and the five people walked carefully through the forest, and were about to cross the central area.
Suddenly, all the insects in the forest disappeared.
Everything is quiet!
The next moment, a third level of spiritual pressure instantly enveloped a forest, just enough to include the five people.
"No, it's a third-order Sky Eagle!"
"Could it be that they were discovered?!"
Liu Yu was startled, this thought flashed across her mind, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.
However, he hadn't figured out the situation yet, so he didn't act rashly for the time being.
Seeing that Zhuo Meng really thought he had been discovered, he looked a little panicked and opened his mouth to sacrifice his magic weapon.
In desperation, Liu Yu put one hand on the woman's shoulder and made a shushing gesture with the other hand, indicating to the woman to wait.
The sudden arrival of the third level of spiritual pressure does not mean that a few people were discovered. Maybe the Han Tianying had been practicing for too long and suddenly became hungry and had to go out to look for food?
After thinking about it, based on his understanding of Han Tianying, he didn't think there was anything wrong with his plan, so he decided to take a look first.
