Except for the salty sea breeze blowing gently from the mountain, there was silence nearby. This made the few people on the hill feel more at ease and boldly entered into meditation with their eyes closed.
Time passed very quickly. After an hour, several people had recovered most of their mana, and their complexions looked much more normal.
The middle-aged monk opened his eyes, looked at the situation of several men and women, and then ordered without hesitation:
"Let's go, we can't stay here any longer! Those things are probably coming soon." After saying this, he took the lead and stood up.
Although the men and women in the Qi refining stage were a little reluctant to give up, they did not hesitate to end their meditation. They took out their magic weapons and looked like they were about to fly into the sky together.
But at this moment, the sky above the island suddenly started to scream loudly, and then part of the thick milky fog began to boil.
"Not good!" The middle-aged monk's expression suddenly changed.
The other men and women even said "swish" and looked extremely pale.
From the thick fog in the sky, a dozen huge gray strange birds flew out.
These strange birds are about ten feet tall, with red fleshy crests on their heads, sharp beaks and sharp claws. They emit a faint blue light all over their bodies, giving them a ferocious and ugly look.
As soon as they appeared, they did not immediately rush to the bottom of the island. Instead, they quickly circled in the air and dispersed, blocking the escape route of the monks. They seemed to be very good at cooperating.
When the middle-aged monk saw this scene, his heart sank to the bottom.
"Let's go to the woods quickly. When we have the chance, we can split up and escape!" He also had some experience in dealing with birds and monsters, so he immediately called on the others to quickly escape into the nearby woods. The other men and women were helpless.
Naturally, I didn't have any objections and followed him.
The strange birds in Tianshan also let out a noisy scream at this time, and slowly surrounded them from high to low, centered on a few people.
Seeing these monster birds behaving like this, the men and women looked more and more panicked, and their escape speed became faster and faster. In the blink of an eye, they reached the sky above the woods, and suddenly fell downwards.
An unexpected scene appeared at this moment!
As soon as the five people flew close to the forest, a low altitude of three feet, suddenly a green glow flashed, and their eyes lit up. After a while of dizziness, they suddenly noticed that the scenery in front of them had changed drastically.
The original woods disappeared, and what appeared in front of them was another extremely unfamiliar mountain range, and an astonishing aura rushed towards them.
"This is an illusion formation!" The most beautiful one among the three female cultivators, who was wearing blue brocade clothes, shouted in surprise.
"Is there any other comrades here?" the sturdy young man said in surprise.
"Maybe! Anyway, this is a chance for us to survive. I hope this illusory formation can hide those eagle and kite beasts!" The middle-aged man was also surprised and murmured in a low voice.
After hearing this, other people couldn't help but look up at the illusion formation.
At this time, the evil birds circling in the sky suddenly lost their target, and there was a commotion. However, after screaming at each other a few times, they continued to press downwards without changing their direction.
"No! It seems that the eagle and kite beasts are not affected by these illusions. Hurry up and get closer to the mountain range. There is a forbidden atmosphere there. Maybe there are other fellow Taoists there." The middle-aged monk said solemnly, Tu Guangyi
Dodge and fly forward.
After the other men and women looked at each other, they chased after each other with equally nervous expressions.
But as soon as the few people flew a short distance away, their way was blocked by a white light curtain that suddenly appeared.
Seeing this scene, the middle-aged monk was not surprised but became happy.
He immediately stretched out his hand, and a transmission note appeared in his hand.
Then he muttered something in his mouth, raised his hand, and the talisman turned into a ray of fire, and flew into the light curtain and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Others looked at this scene in horror, not daring to say another word.
After a while, the dozen strange birds finally flew into the illusory formation. After discovering their target, they swooped towards these people from all directions without any ceremony, waving their wings, causing a faint glare.
of blue light.
The middle-aged monk's face darkened. He glanced at the white light curtain behind him, gritted his teeth and gave a few instructions in a low voice.
The other men and women looked equally ugly, but they still raised their hands to emit various lights, sacrificed their magical weapons, and prepared to take on this battle head-on.
Seeing these eagles and kites flying above a few people, and when they were about to engage in hand-to-hand combat, something unexpected happened again.
From the white light curtain, hundreds of light beams of various colors suddenly flew out. Although they were only as thick as a thumb, they were extremely sharp and pierced through countless holes for the eagles and kites flying at low altitude.
Suddenly, the sound of "Plop" sounded one after another!
These monster beasts didn't even make a scream, and fell to the ground with their lives lost.
"This is……"
Several people, including the middle-aged monk, were immediately overjoyed and couldn't help but turn around and take a look at the situation on the screen.
As a result, they were shocked at first, and then stunned.
Only a dozen tall giant apes appeared in the light curtain.
Upon taking a quick look, these people thought that some kind of monster had appeared, and naturally their hearts froze.
But then they noticed something strange, and after taking a closer look, they discovered that these giant apes were black and shiny, and they were actually just machine puppets. And each of these giant ape puppets raised their hands, and the light beam just now should have come from
From their hands.
Only then did these people become really happy.
Then, these giant apes lowered their arms silently, and then a ray of light suddenly appeared, and these puppets disappeared.
Just when they were in shock and doubt, the white light curtain in front of them flashed violently for several times, and actually opened a passage about ten feet wide on its own.
Seeing this scene, they even looked at each other!
"I'm currently in retreat. If I can't get up to greet you, I'll just take a rest in the formation for a while and then leave on your own!" A man's voice came out calmly from inside. But the meaning of the words sounded.
, the formation master seemed to have no intention of meeting them.
"Thank you, senior, for your life-saving grace. Since these demonic birds have been destroyed, I can rest here for a while and don't dare to disturb senior's Qing Cultivation any more!" Although the middle-aged monk felt that the other party had no ill intentions, how could he dare to ignore the other party without knowing it?
Entering this formation without knowing the details, I had no choice but to risk the possibility of making the other party unhappy and say it bravely.
"Hehe, you look very cautious! But in that case, what happened to you? How could you be chased by a group of second-level monsters like this?" The man chuckled, not caring at all. But what happened next?
His words seemed to bring a hint of curiosity.
The middle-aged monk looked relieved and quickly replied respectfully:
"We are disciples of the Qingling Sect. This time we went out to sea to collect some elixirs. As a result, we were accidentally targeted by these eagle and kite beasts. In the end, we were chased by them along the way. If a senior hadn't come to the rescue, we would have been killed.
This junior and others are really in trouble."
After the middle-aged man said these words of thanks, the man didn't say anything. He just said "hmm" and then fell silent. This made these monks feel a little uneasy again.
The middle-aged monk was also uneasy, but he did not dare to leave this place, so he motioned to others to be calm!
"These are the only people from your Qingling Sect? Why are there no elders from the sect to lead the team? Don't you know that going to sea with your cultivation level is just asking for death! Even if you are not a monk in the Core Formation Stage, there are many sects in the Foundation Establishment Stage
A few of them will not end up being chased by level two monsters." After a moment of silence, the man's indifferent words came from the formation again.
After hearing the man's question this time, the middle-aged monk was startled at first, but after hesitating for a while, he smiled bitterly.
"Senior! Our Qingling Sect is just a small sect. Although there was an elder at the Pill Formation Stage in the past, he had already fallen in the beast wave more than twenty years ago. There are not many Foundation Establishment Stage monks in the sect.
One." The middle-aged monk said hesitantly.
When he said these words, the middle-aged man was also worried that the other party wanted to find out the details of their sect and then have bad intentions towards them.
But then I thought that this person's cultivation was amazing. If he wanted to kill them, he could just use those puppets, and there would be no need to go to such trouble. And if he was secretive and deceived, once he angered the other party, this would
That's what you're looking for.
Such a middle-aged monk was so talented that he took the risk to tell the true story of the sect honestly.
He didn't believe that with his broken sect, there was anything that could be pried into.
"Beast tide! What year did this happen? Is it related to monsters?" The man's voice contained a hint of surprise.
But the middle-aged monk was even more shocked when he heard this question! The other young men and women also showed astonishment.
"Senior, don't you know about the beast tide? It seems that senior has been cultivating here for many years and doesn't know the situation outside at all, right?" The middle-aged monk murmured after taking a long breath.
"From your tone, it's very bad outside!" The man seemed to be interested. Although his voice was still cold, there was still a hint of curiosity in his words.
The middle-aged monk was a little speechless.
The situation outside can only be described as terrible!
It seems that the other party is really an old monster who has been in seclusion for I don’t know how many years. Otherwise, how could he not even know about the major events that happened more than 20 years ago?
But this way, he felt more at ease.
Given the opponent's cultivation status, he would generally disdain to harm juniors like them.
Is there something in them that the other party would like?
Thinking of this, the middle-aged monk looked more respectful and replied:
"Senior! The beast tide happened more than 20 years ago. At that time, I was still a monk in the Qi Refining Stage. Although I have not seen it with my own eyes, I have heard from the elders in the sect. It is said that tens of thousands of people in the abyss at that time were
The monsters surged out one day without any warning. Then they rushed into Qiyuan in one breath.
On the island, Black Rock City was surrounded and attacked non-stop. Although the island was protected by several large formations, thousands of monks and a group of seniors at the Nascent Soul stage, it was still breached by the monsters after a few days. Except for the extreme
A small number of monks were able to take advantage of the chaos and escape, but all the remaining human monks died on the spot."
As the middle-aged monk spoke, his face became sad for a while.
"There was such a thing! What happened next? Did the monster return to the abyss?" The man's voice showed a hint of shock, but then he returned to a calm tone.
"If we return to the abyss, things will be easier to handle. After the abyss monsters reduced Blackstone City to ruins, they actually began to divide into several groups. Under the leadership of some high-level monsters, they began to sweep other human villages and towns. Although they had already been
Most of the people in these villages and towns got the news as soon as possible
They gave up their residence and hid everywhere. However, many monks and mortals were still murdered. As a result, within half a year, there was no longer any village or town where humans gathered in all the sea areas near Qiyuan Island, and they were all completely destroyed.
.This is not the end, even though these monster beasts
Although most of them returned to the abyss, there were still some high-level monsters with high intelligence, which began to search for hiding humans and hunted and devoured them one by one. It was said that not long after, all the mortals in the outer sea were dead and injured, and even more human monks
Most of them were damaged. Those who survived could only stay far away from Qiyuan Island.
In the nearby sea area, we will find some remote islands to settle down and hide in Tibet. Now Qiyuan Island has become a gathering place for high-level monsters. As soon as there is news about our human monks, they will go out again to wipe out us and others.
Monk." The middle-aged monk's expression began to look sad.
At this time, the mysterious man's voice was not heard for a while. He seemed to be shocked by the news and looked like he was trying to digest the news.
"Hehe! It's so funny. In other words, we monks in the outer star sea are just like the monsters back then, and have become characters that everyone wants to kill." The man sneered and finally spoke again. It was just a sarcastic tone in his words.
These monks were surprised for a while.
However, the man seemed unwilling to say anything more, and then asked several questions:
"There are several Nascent Soul stage old monsters on Qiyuan Island. They can't all die in the beast tide. Why don't they come out to take charge of the overall situation now? And since Qiyuan Island has undergone such a huge change, isn't there no reaction from the Inner Star Sea?
, haven’t reinforcements been sent? Or has this place been completely abandoned by those guys from the Inner Star Sea?”
Each of these questions is more pointed than the last, and each is more to the point than the last. Some of the middle-aged monks know, but some are unable to answer.
So after thinking for a moment, he carefully replied:
"During the beast wave, I heard that two seniors in the Nascent Soul stage died, but most of the seniors still escaped. Although there has been no news about these seniors since then, according to some rumors, these seniors are planning
What a big move, so that we can return to Qiyuan Island in one fell swoop. But I don’t know the specific content. And I don’t know.
As for the Inner Star Sea, there has been no news since the beast tide occurred. No one knows whether they know the details here. As for the reinforcements, they have never been seen. Maybe it is like what the seniors said, this place has been invaded by the Inner Stars.
The Xinghai side has given up." When he said the last sentence, a gloomy look appeared on the middle-aged monk's face.
It seems that the monks who survived the beast tide have unknowingly resented those on the other side of the Inner Star Sea.
The man's voice was silent for a while, and after a moment he asked leisurely:
"Since it's so dangerous, why don't you juniors stay well in your residence and run out so rashly, do you want to commit suicide?" After hearing the man's words, the middle-aged monk showed a frown on his face, but he didn't wait for him to explain.
The girl in yellow shirt, who had been standing behind him obediently, suddenly rushed out with a burst of uncertainty.
"Senior, my father's meridians were disordered due to improper cultivation of Qigong, and he is now paralyzed. Senior has great supernatural powers, so there must be a way to save my father! If senior can save my father, I am willing to do everything for senior.
, come and repay the great kindness of my predecessor!" The girl's pretty face was full of pleading, and her big black and white eyes were full of tears, and she looked like she was about to shed tears.
Several other men and women were shocked when they heard this, and couldn't help but look at each other. Only the middle-aged monk heard this, and his heart moved, but he couldn't help but reprimanded:
"Xing'er, what nonsense are you talking about? Senior brother has been bedridden for many years and cannot be cured by human power. This time I went out to find some elixirs and went back, which only slightly alleviated the pain of senior brother. Even if my senior has magical powers and knows everything, there is no way he can be cured.
"Yes." Although the middle-aged monk said it mercilessly, there was a faint strange look on his face.
"The true energy is reversed, and the meridians are disordered. It seems that he is another guy who wants to overthrow his talent. He must have not reached the level of cultivation, but he wants to forcibly practice a higher level of skills, which is why he has such symptoms." After the man sneered, he lazily
said.
This expert accurately judged the cause of the symptoms without witnessing it with his own eyes. This made the middle-aged monk even flash a hint of joy on his face!
"Senior, your eyes are really sharp. My senior brother is indeed in this disaster because of his eagerness to cultivate. I wonder if senior knows if there is any secret method that can save me?" The middle-aged monk first complimented the other person, and then asked with great concern. Look.
Come on, he seems to have a good relationship with this senior brother.
"Of course these symptoms are nothing, but why should I tell you! Do you think that I will save you for no reason?" The man seemed to have read the other person's thoughts and sneered unceremoniously.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged monk was startled at first, and then his face turned red and white. After moving his lips a few times, no words came out of his mouth.
But the girl in yellow shirt heard a glimmer of hope in it.
A blush rose on her cheeks. After gritting her teeth, she knelt down in front of the light curtain with a "pop" sound.
Then this delicate girl said with determination:
"The junior Gongsun Xing swears here that as long as the senior can cure my father, the little girl is willing to be a slave to the senior for the rest of her life without any second thoughts. If the senior is still not at ease, the junior can let the senior cast the restraining technique first.
Then go and save my father." After saying these words, the girl leaned towards the direction of the light screen, kowtowed three times, and then knelt there without moving, with a look of determination on her face.
Despite her young age, the girl in yellow shirt has a very strong temper.
"Silly girl, what stupid thing are you doing? What kind of person is the senior, how could he fall in love with you, an ugly girl?" Seeing this scene, the middle-aged monk couldn't help but said in shock and anger.
Other men and women also woke up and spoke out to dissuade him.
But the girl in yellow shirt just ignored her and knelt there, as if she would never get up unless the other party agreed.
"Uncle, please stop talking. I was born an unknown person, and my mother died because of my difficult childbirth. My father also wanted to cleanse my marrow from the Yi Ching, so he forcibly practiced the sixth level of Qingling Xuan Gong, which made me bedridden all day long.
Ending. Now is the time for me to enter the filial piety. As long as my father can be cured, I am willing to serve this senior for the rest of my life without any complaints." The girl shook her head with a pale face and said in a calm voice.
"Girl! Are you threatening me? If I don't take action, will you never be able to kneel down?" The man sneered, his voice cold in vain.
"I don't dare. I have no intention of threatening you. Senior just saved our lives, and Gongsun Xing is already grateful! But since my father became bedridden, he has called many senior colleagues to come for treatment, but no one has come to save our lives."
The art of rejuvenation. Now Myolie listens to the tone of her senior,
It seems that curing this disease is just a little effort for the seniors, so the juniors are asking for help so hard. The juniors have no other intention, I just hope that the seniors can fulfill the filial piety of the juniors!" After saying these words, the girl was already half crying and choked with sobs.
He leaned down again and kowtowed.
There was a moment of silence in the direction of the light curtain!
