In the cave, Wu Ming sat with his eyes closed, his face as pale as paper, and his pale golden robes were looming between his breaths. Apex 23S.

If you observe carefully, it is not difficult to find that fine lines can be seen everywhere on the Gang Yi. They are not runes like Sanskrit sutras in the past, but cracks!
As the technique works, the cracks gradually close, but centered on the thigh root, the cracks spread to the abdomen and knees. No matter how hard you try, there seems to be a strange power that prevents the recovery of Gang Yi!
"Ahem, what a terrifying fox-man saint. The power left in my body alone makes me helpless. This level of strength has exceeded that of the known genius warriors. Perhaps only Zhao Shuhang, Lan Xinhui, and Shenxiu
How can we compare!"
Wu Ming suddenly coughed up a mouthful of black blood. Although his expression was gloomy, the sparkle in his eyes did not diminish.
There were quite a few Tianjiao warriors that he had come into contact with. Except for the three who had not been exposed, all the others could sense some subtle details to Wu Ming.
But even Gu Jinglong couldn't do this method back then!
Fortunately, although this matter is difficult, Wu Ming cannot solve it, and the lotus lantern is still there!
Even if the two women are asleep, as long as their souls release their thoughts, this lamp will definitely emit great power and help them, and this time is no exception.
But Wu Ming could feel that the power emitted by the lotus lantern was much weaker than before, so he would not use it easily unless necessary.
After a full day, Wu Ming took a deep breath and walked out of the cave.
Although his complexion is still poor, his aura is as stable as before, and the flash of light in his eyes is even more intimidating!
Not only that, with the help of this healing session, he was able to double focus and carefully sort out what he had gained in the storm of will, and his martial arts improved to a higher level.
This is not an enhancement of cultivation, but martial arts cultivation, which is equivalent to an improvement on the spiritual level, and is far more important than a breakthrough in cultivation!
"Although I was seriously injured once, it also made me understand how powerful China's most outstanding geniuses are!"
Wu Ming took out the hyacinth and lit it. The white smoke curled up, which was several times clearer than before. It no longer wavered and pointed straight into the distance. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "It depends on the situation. It's not that far away!"
Then he took out several maps and looked at them one by one. While determining the direction, he also recalled various information about the surrounding environment.
The top of the mountain is no better than the bottom of the mountain. There are many dangerous things in the artistic conception. With his current strength, he may not be afraid of the first and second realms. Even if the third realm can barely compete with one or two, the existence of the fourth realm exceeds the limit.
The ones they are worried about are not only dangerous creatures, but also monsters and barbarian princes. Even human warriors have to guard against them.
He remembered that Xuanlei Sect, Pili Sect and others were here, as well as elite warriors sent by several other major forces!
Moreover, one of the Whistling Swifts was lost, one of the life-saving talismans was also consumed, and the strength has not yet returned to its peak.
After confirming the location, Wu Ming put on all the treasures neatly. Without the divine arm crossbow, he carried a top-quality magic bow. He could never be as casual as before.
Not just any treasure can be used by low-level warriors like a mysterious weapon like the Divine Arm Crossbow. In addition to the rigid requirements for the purity of the true energy, there are also special runes and refining materials.
For Wu Ming, without the divine arm crossbow, although his arm would not be broken, it would greatly weaken his combat power.
After all, this treasure can be pulled with pure power, but the magic bow requires internal energy to activate its maximum power.
As for the Eight Ox Crossbow, although it is powerful, it is not only huge in size, but also consumes a lot of energy. Even Wu Ming today, with all his strength, may not be able to fire more than three arrows in a row, and it is even more difficult to activate it with internal force.
Only one arrow!
…
"It's actually in the thorn cliff!"
Five days later, Wu Ming stood in front of a towering cliff, frowning.
As the name suggests, this is a cliff covered with thorns, measuring no more than a thousand miles in length and width, making it the smallest dangerous land in Youxia Ridge.
But precisely because of this, there are thorns everywhere inside, making it difficult to move even an inch, and the most common thorn bushes inside are enough to pierce the true energy shield of a warrior of the realm.
No warrior is willing to enter it if it is not necessary, and no one is willing to maintain the Qi shield at all times. It consumes too much.
Moreover, you also have to face the dangers that appear at any time, and the danger is doubled!
"It may be a difficulty for others, but it's nothing to me! Just what is this girl doing here? Although there are many elixirs and treasures produced in the thorn forest, there is only one thorn fruit that can be regarded as the top elixir, but for The artistic conception warrior is completely useless!"
As far as he knew, Shen Xiaolan was already a third-level mind warrior, a state where she could manifest her body with her mind. However, the thorn fruit was an elixir that laid the foundation of a warrior, opened up her meridians, and tempered her muscles and bones. It was completely useless to this woman.
Tsk!
Stepping into the thorn bush, the clothes instantly turned into strips of cloth. Even the brocade clothes woven by spiritual objects left faint white marks and a layer of rough edges.
At random, a thorn branch comparable to gold and iron was scratched on the back of the hand, and several red marks flashed along with a slight burning sting.
"Not only is it extremely penetrating, it's also toxic. With that girl's strength..."
Wu Ming frowned. This was still on the outside. If it were deeper, the thorn bush would be more lethal.
Based on his understanding of the artistic conception warriors, even if Shen Xiaolan is a talented warrior, she may not be able to maintain her peak condition in a place like this for a long time.
Hiss!
Just as he was meditating, an undetectable hissing sound came into his ears, and an iron-gray stream of light that perfectly blended with the thorn bushes shot towards his ankles like electricity.
"snort!"
Wu Ming gave him a cold look and stamped his feet without hesitation.
During the crackling sound, a venomous snake with an iron-gray triangular head about a foot long was trampled on the sole of the foot, and the snake's tail as thick as a chopstick was whipped off the instep like an iron whip.
"The Iron Wire Snake is a second-level primary evil creature, comparable to a first-level spirit warrior!"
It seems that it is easy to control such existences, but in fact, the power of the wire snake is not great. Only its fangs are extremely piercing and poisonous, enough to poison any living being below the artistic conception, so it is classified as a second-level primary threat!
This snake is also a unique beast in Thorn Cliff!
When a creature enters this place and is consumed by the thorn bushes, or even scratches the protective infuriating shield or consumes self-defense treasures, it is the time for the wire snake to attack!
Crushing the iron head casually, Wu Mingyang pondered for a moment, but did not draw out his sword to open the way, but looked at the thorns scratching and moved forward inward.
It is not difficult to cut a road, but his whereabouts are completely exposed. Without Yu Yan patrolling behind him, how could Wu Ming dare to expose his back!
Fortunately, although the thorn bushes are dense, there are still places to rest. The cliffs are full of rugged rocks and huge cliff protrusions.
Although the wire snake likes to hang around, Wu Ming is not afraid of this snake as long as he is careful. And it just so happens that the detoxifying pill Jia Zhengjing prepared for him contains a magic pill that can detoxify snake venom.
Moreover, it is aimed at more advanced silver-threaded snakes and even golden-threaded snakes!
Affected by the thorn bush, Wu Ming's speed was only one-fifth of his previous speed, and there were endless wire snake attacks, making his speed extremely slow.
Fortunately, a Swift was mobilized, and the field of view was excellent. Although it was far less wide than the previous search, it was still within a radius of dozens of miles.
"Huh? It's the mark she left!"
At noon the next day, Wu Ming discovered an unusual place through Yuyan. After a quick sense, he searched carefully and found a symbol engraved on the bottom of a turned over stone.
"This girl is not alone!"
The symbols are very simple and have been agreed upon before. What is unusual is that there are several stones placed seemingly randomly around the stones.
It can be seen from the damp marks on the bottom that it must have been turned over, and these stones represent other people!
"Three people!"
Wu Ming frowned slightly.
This time, more than half of the human warriors who entered Youxia Ridge were elite, far more than before. This place was deep in the mountains and was full of dangers.
He is willing to accompany a woman to venture into such a dangerous place which is considered useless to a Yi Jing warrior. If there is no purpose, even if Wu Ming is killed, he will not believe it.
Unless Shen Xiaolan's charm is like that of the fox-man saint Li Li, which is enough to charm any artistic conception warrior, but it is obviously impossible.
Sensing something was wrong, Wu Ming did not dare to delay and accelerated forward.
With the mark secretly made by this woman, there is no need to take detours, making it easier to find.
But just half a day later, Wu Ming suddenly stopped, his eyes narrowed like needlepoints, and he looked towards the cliff in the distance.
Deep in the invisible thorn bush, there is a figure as tall as a hill, walking freely through it, breaking every thorn in its path, and even the copper wire snakes and even silver wire snakes that appear from time to time are caught by it at will. , stuffed into the bloody mouth, and swallowed alive.
"Xiongmanbagulu!"
Although it was just a glimpse of Yu Yan, Wu Ming still recognized it at a glance. This behemoth was exactly the one who made the fourth son of the Xiong Emperor wet his pants with just one glance!
Even though I made all kinds of predictions before entering this place, I never expected that I would encounter such a beast here!
"Kill him? No...kill him..."
For a moment, Wu Ming looked uncertain.
According to what General Shiman said, Bagulu is at least the pinnacle of barbarian princes, but after more than a month in Youxia Ridge, he may not have failed to break through, that is, he is a great demon prince.
With his Barbarian Emperor bloodline and his own talent, even if he doesn't have a breakthrough, he is still much better than the ordinary Great Demon Marquis.
Unless they are geniuses of the same level, even innately strong people may not be able to defeat such existences!
And the only thing Wu Ming can rely on is the Eight Ox Crossbow!
Among the monsters and barbarians, the bear barbarians are second only to the tiger barbarians. They are a naturally powerful tribe of monster barbarians. Their strength, attack, and defense are all top-notch. Even if their speed is slightly lacking, their explosive power is top-notch and they have almost no weaknesses. !
"What's he doing in Briar Cliff?"
Judging from the direction, he was not chasing Shen Xiaolan and his party, so Wu Ming finally gave up the idea of taking a risk.
After witnessing the power of the fox-man saint Li Li and the tiger-man Chi Xiu, Wu Ming did not believe that these beasts had no special means.
"Hey, who the rat dares to spy on me?"
Just when Wu Ming borrowed the swift to explore, a thunderous roar came from the cliff dozens of miles away, startling countless birds, and echoing endlessly!
"Great Demon Lord!"
Wu Ming's heart skipped a beat, and he took a deep look at where Bagulu was. With deep doubts, he turned back to Yuyan and walked along the mark.
Fortunately, although the wolf noticed that Swift was peeping, Swift was so fast that he did not catch up.
After a day and night of tracking, as they approached the top of the thorn cliff, they finally saw Shen Xiaolan and his party!
