At an altitude of 10,000 meters, three dragon boats were separated by a few hundred meters, running side by side, like three giant dragons of different colors, shooting towards the due north.
Chen Hao stood on the side of the head of the Lingxiao Dragon Boat, looking at the scenery on the ground with his hands behind his back.
If you were an ordinary person, you would be unable to see anything clearly at such a high altitude in the sky, and the dragon boat was traveling so fast, but for monks, there would be no problem.
"What is Elder Chen looking at?"
Yu Houshui's voice sounded from the side.
Although Chen Hao cheated and defeated the Lingxiao sect, which made him very depressed, but if he lost, he would lose. Moreover, Chen Hao's identity was the elder Keqing of the Dengli sect, and naturally he, as the leader, could not neglect it.
Chen Haodao: "Enjoy the scenery."
landscape?
Yu Houshui glanced at the ground, feeling a little strange.
At this time, the dragon boat had flown tens of thousands of miles away, and everywhere it passed was desolate, with no scenery to speak of.
What he didn't know was that Chen Hao had never left the Dengli Mountains after coming to the world of cultivation. Although he had Tian Chenzi's experience in the world of cultivation in his memory, it was Tian Chenzi's memory after all, not his personal experience.
Seeing it with my own eyes now, even though everything I see is desolate, it feels quite fresh.
Moreover, the desolation of the world of cultivation is not that it is nothing, but that it is complex and changeable, filled with mountains, rivers, hills, plains, basins, deserts, forests, etc., and the structure is complex, continuous, majestic, magnificent, and dangerous, and is more dangerous than the earth.
The natural scenery above is much more impressive.
For example, there are mountain peaks tens of thousands of meters high, rivers as wide as the ocean for thousands of miles, and forests of giant trees that never end as far as the eye can see... Such terrains abound, and even when viewed from a high altitude, they feel very spectacular.
If people on earth came to the world of cultivation, they would definitely be greatly shocked.
The so-called desolation refers to sparsely populated areas.
The dragon boat flew tens of thousands of miles, which was farther than the Earth's circle around the equator, but Chen Hao could only see a few scattered primitive villages, not even any larger towns.
"Master Yu, are there very few people from the southern border?"
Chen Hao asked.
Yu Houshui glanced at him in surprise: "Why does Elder Chen ask that?"
Chen Hao stretched out his hand and pointed downward: "I see that the dragon boat has been flying for a long time, but there are very few people."
Yu Houshui was even more surprised: "Isn't this normal?
Elder Chen doesn’t know?”
Chen Haodao: "I don't know. I have never been out of the Dengli Mountains. I don't know what it's like outside."
Seeing that his expression didn't look fake, Yu Houshui explained: "There are a lot of people from the southern border, but most places don't have spiritual mountains, water, or land to attract monks to station themselves, so naturally there are no people."
Chen Hao said: "What about mortals?
Mortals don’t need to practice, life is different wherever they are.”
Yu Houshui laughed dumbly: "Elder Chen is joking. Mortals have no power and can only survive by relying on monks. Without monks, there would be no mortals."
Chen Haodao: "But flying here, I also saw some small mortal villages, although they are very few in number."
Yu Houshui shook his head and said: "It won't last long. The power of mortals is too weak. Any natural disaster, such as a heavy rain, a fire, or even an attack by a monster, will lead to extinction.
Those small primitive villages may be in a relatively stable low-risk environment and can survive temporarily, but they cannot develop and grow and may face the situation I mentioned at any time."
Chen Hao nodded, agreeing in his heart.
Indeed, although the natural environment of the world of cultivation far exceeds that of the earth and looks majestic, the dangers are also very great.
An ordinary heavy rain will form a flash flood flowing down from a mountain tens of thousands of meters high, which is as big as an ocean. It can easily submerge a whole country, not to mention a village.
An ordinary wildfire is very likely to turn into a super disaster thousands of miles away.
In comparison, the strength of mortals is not much different from that of ants on the earth. Faced with such dangerous natural disasters, they cannot even escape.
Not to mention there are also man-made threats such as demons, ghosts and evil cultivators.
Without the protection of monks, the fate of mortals would be very miserable.
"Fortunately, Xue Qing, Xiyue and the others were already monks when they traveled through the world of cultivation. Even if they are only in the Qi refining period, they can still protect themselves in the endless desolation."
Chen Hao thought to himself, suddenly feeling a little melancholy.
The world of cultivation is so vast, and I don’t know what year or month he will be able to get together with his nine daughters, and his family will be happy and happy.
Buzz buzz... Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly, there was a violent roar like a helicopter coming from the front.
Listening to the sound, it seems that it is not a helicopter, but a group of helicopters.
Chen Hao and Yu Houshui turned around and saw a group of dark clouds appearing in front of the dragon boat, approaching the dragon boat at an extremely fast speed.
Although they were far apart, Chen Hao and Yu Houshui were so skilled that they could tell at a glance that the dark cloud was not a real dark cloud, but a very dense group of black flying insects.
The black flying insects are huge, each two to three meters long and more than one meter wide, far larger than an adult human. Some flying insects are even as high as four or five meters.
They are very much like an enlarged version of a wasp, but they are all black, with their mouthparts open, and you can clearly see the sharp, serrated fangs inside. The poisonous needles at the tail are nearly two meters long, as black as a steel drill, and the tip of the needle is shining.
The faint blue light shows strong danger and extraordinaryness.
Such terrifying big flying insects, not to mention a large swarm like dark clouds, even just one can scare ordinary people into fainting.
"Blue fire poisonous bee?"
Yu Houshui showed surprise: "We have just flown so far, and we should not encounter such a group of monster insects."
He said, looking down: "There is no forest on the ground."
"Brother, head, we suddenly encountered a blue fire poisonous bee. It's too late to escape now. What should we do?"
A middle-aged man with a square face came over and asked for instructions.
He is Yu Houshui's junior brother, his name is Wu Yuanzhou, and his cultivation is at the early stage of Yuan Ying.
Yu Houshui said: "I will discuss this with Master Lei and Master Wan."
After saying that, he reached out his consciousness and communicated with Lei Tieyin and Wan Hongfei in the other two dragon boats.
Soon, the three of them finished their discussion.
Yu Houshui ordered: "Speed up the dragon boat by 20%, open the restriction shield, and let the foundation-building disciples intercept and kill the blue fire poisonous bees, while the golden elixir disciples are responsible for plundering the formation."
"Yes, senior brother."
Wu Yuanzhou responded, turned around and gave the order.
Chen Hao saw a demon for the first time since he entered the world of cultivation. He couldn't help but asked with great interest: "Fellow Taoist Yu, how effective is this blue fire poisonous bee?"
Yu Houshui said: "Have you never seen Daoyou Chen before?"
Chen Hao said: "No."
There are many kinds of insect monsters in Tianchenzi's memory, but there are no blue fire poisonous bees.
Chen Hao is not surprised either.
There are at least tens of millions of species of bugs on the earth, not to mention the world of cultivation, where there are so many demons and monsters that even Mahayana monks have never seen before.
