What did you say? Zhou Ziru of Hongxi Marsh shouted loudly,
As we all know, the Yuanchi Wudang Mountains and the Flood Swamp are the three most dangerous places known as the neutral zone. Now that he and Zhan Chen had just struggled desperately to get out from under the Yuanchi, they entered such a dangerous situation again. Isn't this fate?
Teasing?
Zhou Ziru began to look around carefully, but could not find any way out. He said uncertainly: Zhan Chen, maybe this is not the flood swamp. Does the flood swamp and Yuanchi intersect?
Zhan Chen took out the jade slip containing all the maps of the neutral areas from the Qiankun bag and examined it carefully. After a while, he handed the jade slip to Zhou Ziru and said: You should take a look at it yourself.
Zhou Ziru took the jade slip and looked at it, only to find that the flood swamp was vast and bordered the Yuanchi in more than one place.
I also heard Zhan Chen say from one side: Ziru, since we came from the Road to Heaven, we are most likely at the location near the center of Yuanchi on the map.
Zhou Ziru studied the map for a while before calling out: The place where the center of Yuanchi and Flood Swamp meet, isn't that also the center of Flood Swamp?
Yes.
So how do we get out?
Zhan Chen looked around. He saw that this place was shrouded in a layer of light mist all year round. Even the sun in the sky became hazy against the backdrop of this layer of mist, so he said: I think it’s best.
The best way is to go back the same way, find the Abyss Pond, and then walk along the Abyss Pond to get out of the swamp. Otherwise, in this swamp, there is heavy fog all year round, and we can easily lose our way completely.
Why do you want to go back to the Yuanchi area again? I don't want to go there, Zhou Ziru said in anger.
Zhan Chen spread his hands and said helplessly: But we can't think of any better way now.
He had no choice but to go back. Although Zhou Ziru was unwilling to do so, he had no choice but to listen to Zhan Chen.
So the two of them got down from the tree, left there, and started to turn back and look for Yuanchi again. Unexpectedly, they went in the opposite direction, getting further and further away from Yuanchi.
After walking for an hour, Zhan Chen saw the sky getting dark and said to Zhou Ziru: Ziru, it seems we have to find a place to rest first.
Zhou Ziru sighed and said: Okay then.
The two found a dry land to sit down, lit a fire, and put some animal meat on the rack to roast. Zhan Chen also took out some fine wine to drink with Zhou Ziru.
When he was half drunk, Zhan Chen suddenly felt his spirit beast ring trembling, so he had to put down the wine and meat and let the little demon out.
When Zhou Ziru saw the little demon, a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and he smiled and said: Zhan Chen, I didn't expect you to have a pet. This is quite strange. I thought that someone like you who is obsessed with martial arts would not bother.
to do this kind of thing.
Zhan Chen smiled and said: Ziru, this is not a pet, but a seventh-level monster.
A seventh-level monster can't do it. I think it looks like a pet.
Zhou Ziru's remarks aroused strong dissatisfaction from the little demon. It couldn't help but raise its little paws, uttered human words, and protested: I am not a pet, I am a majestic seventh-level monster.
Zhou Ziru was very surprised when he heard that it could speak human language, and shouted: "You can speak"
Zhan Chen was also shocked and couldn't help but ask: Xiaoyao, when did you become able to speak?
As we all know, only big demons of the eighth level and above can do some simple thinking and speak some simple vocabulary. But the little demon has just broken through to the seventh level. Not only can he speak, but he can also answer questions fluently, which is very strange.
A trace of confusion flashed in Xiao Yao's eyes, he shook his head and said: I don't understand when I was able to speak.
Zhan Chen looked at her bewildered look and fell into deep thought. The past events came to mind one after another. From the beginning, the little demon showed all kinds of magic, constantly breaking through the limitations of the ferret's bloodline, and constantly advancing.
He was able to find high-level elixirs for himself, and now he even learned to speak human language.
Perhaps, I paid too little attention to the little demon in the past. She is much more than just a ferret.
Master, I'm hungry. At this moment, the little demon pulled his clothes and shook it. His eyes were helpless and he looked pitiful.
Only then did Zhan Chen come back to his senses and said with a smile: "Okay, I will definitely take care of myself today." He then took out more than a dozen jade boxes from the Qiankun bag, which contained seventh- and eighth-level elixirs.
The little demon was ecstatic when he saw these elixirs, but immediately looked at Zhan Chen with doubts, and said carefully: Master, why are you so nice to the little demon today? Are these really all for me?
Zhou Ziru saw that he was so generous and shouted: Zhan Chen, are you crazy? You feed the monsters with seventh- and eighth-level elixirs. Don't give them to me. It's such a waste of natural resources.
Haha, I'm happy that these are all yours now, little demon. Eat them to your heart's content and there will be more tomorrow.
Is it true? Many happy little stars suddenly appeared in the little demon's watery eyes.
Zhou Ziru on the side shook his head, thinking that some nerve in Zhan Chen's brain was suddenly misaligned.
In fact, Zhan Chen had his own considerations in mind. Just now, he made a major decision, that is, to help the little demon upgrade with all his strength. This matter may be unbelievable and impossible for ordinary Martial Emperor experts.
Things that can be done. But now, for the wealthy Zhan Chen, he has the ability to do it
Zhan Chen, you really can't understand why you spend so much energy raising a ferret.
Zhan Chen said: Ziru, the little demon has been with me for a long time. I already treat it as a relative. Besides, I secretly think that the true identity of the little demon is not just a ferret. Have you ever seen someone who can rise to the level of a ferret?
A seventh-level ferret?
When Zhou Ziru heard what he said, he couldn't answer. It was true that ferrets were low-level monsters, and their potential reached the limit at level three. However, the ferret in front of him reached level seven, but he
I also want to defend myself: However, I think that even if you want to raise a spiritual beast, you should choose a spiritual beast that matches your status and can give you great help. At least I can't see what this little guy has any abilities.
At this time, the little demon had already stuffed the elixirs into his mouth and swallowed them. He didn't even need to refine them, it was as simple as eating snacks.
When she heard that Zhou Ziru was going to comment on herself like this, she was angry and retorted: Xiaoyao is very capable. Xiaoyao understands his master, so he seems to be approaching with something he wants.
Zhan Chen was halfway through her words when he suddenly said such a strange sentence and asked: What do you mean?
I seem to feel that there is a strong breath approaching us.
Zhan Chen suddenly reacted to the powerful aura and hurriedly took out his shark-hunting sword to warn him. But Zhou Ziru didn't believe what the little demon said at all, and still sat on the ground drinking and eating meat.
After a while, Zhan Chen noticed a tremor in the grass behind him, and then with a swish, a black shadow came out and rushed towards Zhou Ziru who was sitting on the ground. Then Zhou Ziru hurriedly stood up and went to the Qiankun bag to get the sword.
.
At this moment, Zhan Chen, who had been waiting on the side for a long time, struck out and forced the black shadow back with a slash of his sword.
The two of them took a closer look and saw that it was indeed a swamp arrow snake. This is a seventh-level high-level monster. Although it is small in stature, less than four meters long and no bigger than the mouth of a bowl, it moves quickly and is faster than ordinary snakes.
Emperor Wu's Dzogchen is a powerful and extremely poisonous monster that is quite difficult to deal with.
Moreover, this kind of monster likes to make stealth attacks. Many monsters with higher grades than it, or powerful warriors, died in its hands if they were not aware of it for a moment.
This time, thanks to the little demon's timely reminder and Zhan Chen's early warning, otherwise Zhou Ziru would have been bitten by the monster, which could range from poisoning to death. In the swamp, dangers are everywhere.
Looking at the move, after Ji Killing Sword Zhan Chen knocked down the Marsh Arrow Snake, he didn't wait for its reaction, added another sword, and completely eliminated it. Then he quickly took out the demon pill from its belly, stuffed it into the Qiankun Bag, and turned it around.
He turned to the little demon and asked: "Little demon, you are so awesome. How did you feel the breath of this monster?"
Zhou Ziru also looked at her with admiration and asked anxiously: Yes, how did you discover that monster?
The little demon glanced at Zhou Ziru proudly and said: I relied on smell and feeling. I spotted the snake as soon as it approached.
Zhan Chen felt puzzled.
Yes, I smelled a strange smell first, then looked around, and found a black thing swimming over from the grass over there. The little demon further explained.
Zhan Chen looked at the patch of grass where the Swamp Arrow Snake had come, but unfortunately what he saw was a pile of dense and airtight weeds. Against the backdrop of the night, it looked darker and darker. It was extremely difficult to be aware of the situation in the middle of the grass.
It's impossible, but the little demon said he could see it.
From this, he recalled that the little demon once told him that he could sense the situation outside the practice room in a completely closed practice room. This is not normal.
Could it be that the little demon's ability to detect movement in such a secret place is the legendary divine mind? Zhan Chen was very unsure.
Logically speaking, a warrior's spiritual consciousness can only be seen inwardly, and cannot be extended beyond a distance of one meter from the body. Only by becoming a Taoist immortal can one have the ability to extend his spiritual consciousness far away and observe his surroundings, no matter how many obstacles there are.
, even the situation underground can be seen clearly and in detail.
But that is a method of the Immortal Family. Even the powerful Martial Saint Dzogchen cannot do it. The same is true for monsters. Even the ninth-level monster cannot extend his consciousness to one meter beyond his body.
Other places, unless it is a legendary fairy beast.
Is the little demon a fairy beast? Zhan Chen looked her up and down suspiciously for a while, and immediately denied his ridiculous idea: How is that possible? The little demon is obviously just a seventh-level monster, and its magical powers are absolutely impossible.
Regarding the methods of the fairy beast, I think those abilities of perception may be a kind of compensation for its lack of self-protection methods.
However, these tricks of the little demon may be of great help to our survival in this flood swamp. Zhan Chen seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up with excitement.
Seeing that his master looked a little abnormal, the little demon worriedly pulled his clothes with his little paws and asked: Master, what's wrong with you?
Only then did Zhan Chen react. As soon as he reacted, he burst into laughter. This made the little guy bewildered. He looked at him innocently and asked in a low voice: Master, has the little demon done something wrong again?
No, no, you did a great job today and I want to reward you. As he said that, he took out more than twenty boxes of sixth-level elixirs from the Qiankun bag and handed them to it, saying: These sixth-level elixirs will be given to you as a pawn.
Snacks
It was so good that the little demon jumped up with joy. As long as it was a magical medicine, she would accept it. The more the merrier, she took the magical medicine and started to feast on it again.
While she was happily eating, Zhan Chen said from the side: Listen, little demon, I have an important task for you tomorrow.
