Ji Qingzhuo has been holding the magic-seeking wheel in his hand. After flying north for so long, the rotation speed of the magic-seeking wheel is still constant. This means that there are no demons near Xuanyunzong. It seems that the only way to go is to go further , There is no place for the shelter of the sect.
After leaving Xuanyunzong, Ji Qingzhuo realized how big the outside world is. She flew with her umbrella, and it seemed that she couldn't fly out of the snowfield. She turned her head and took a look at Shen Rongyu. Her hair was rolled up by the wind and snow and brushed against her cheeks. On this vast snow field, it seemed that only she and him were left.
Sensing Ji Qingzhuo's gaze, Shen Rongyu flew to Ji Qingzhuo's side with the Burial Snow Sword, and asked in a warm voice, "Zhuozhuo, what's wrong?"
Ji Qingzhuo shook her head. There was nothing wrong with her. She said softly, "It's nothing, Senior Brother Xiaoyu. I just think the world is so big, and it seems that I can't finish it."
"Naturally, there is no end to the journey. Apart from the places where there are humans, there are boundless places to be explored." Shen Rongyu replied, "We left Xuanyunzong, but we are only a thousand miles away. If we fly for a while, we will be able to sense the evil spirits." out of breath."
After finishing speaking, he controlled the Burial Snow Sword and flew to the front. The Snow Burial Sword under his feet was as white as a mirror, reflecting the vast snow, and it seemed to be integrated with the snow field.
Ji Qingzhuo flew forward for a while, and the magic-seeking wheel held in one hand had already responded. It quickly turned many times in place, much faster than before, and then wandered back and forth in the northwest, but there was only one The approximate range indicates the direction of progress.
She thought it was a little fun, so she followed the instructions of the magic wheel and flew to the northwest direction. She was very fast in controlling the umbrella, and riding the wind, she flew more and more fun until her magic power bottomed out.
Shen Rongyu had already flown to her side at this time, he held Ji Qingzhuo's wrist with one hand, spiritual energy poured into her meridians along the place where their skins touched, Ji Qingzhuo felt the power in his whole body instantly fill up.
"Is the clockwork loose again?" He turned his head and asked Ji Qingzhuo with a smile.
Ji Qingzhuo's cheeks were slightly red, even though she was used to such words, she still felt a little embarrassed.
She took a peek at Shen Rongyu, snow fell on the black hair on his forehead, and the snow particles reflected crystal light in the sunlight.
After thinking about it, she turned the umbrella in his hand to block the wind and snow for him. Shen Rongyu felt that the oncoming wind and snow was getting less and less. Forward profile.
The instructions on the magic-seeking wheel became clearer and clearer. They left the snowfield until they came to a dense forest. The trees here were all hardy coniferous species. The falling snow piled up on the fluffy green branches. With a flick, the snowflakes that condensed into thin ice fell quickly.
At this time, the instructions of the magic-seeking wheel were very clear. It lay quietly in Ji Qingzhuo's hands, and the pointer kept rotating evenly and at a high speed, indicating that the demon of unknown species was nearby.
It is not the first time for Ji Qingzhuo to face the demons spawned by the ghost energy of the earth veins. She has seen everything from the ferocious mandrill to the weird man-faced spiders, so she is not very afraid of the unknown demons this time. Just taking this seriously.
If Shen Rongyu wanted to hide his aura, it was easy, so he quietly followed Ji Qingzhuo, not interfering with her tracking down the demon, nor did he reveal his aura to scare the demon away.
Holding an umbrella, Ji Qingzhuo spun around on the spot. She didn't find any demons here, but—she didn't know that when she and Shen Rongyu entered this forest, they were already being targeted by the demons lurking in the dark .
She listened carefully to the sounds in the forest. Compared to her eyesight, her hearing was much better. At this moment, she seemed to hear rustling sounds in the forest, as if something was approaching.
Ji Qingzhuo turned his head sharply, and the rustling sound came from Shen Rongyu's direction. Shen Rongyu found a bluestone to sit and rest, and he watched Ji Qingzhuo's movements with fixed eyes.
However, Ji Qingzhuo saw a swimming snake approaching behind him. It was pure white and as clear as ice crystals, but the snake directly wrapped itself around Shen Rongyu's body.
"Brother Xiaoyu." Ji Qingzhuo called him, and Shen Rongyu sat still. He had already sensed that the snake was approaching. Under the bluestone behind him, there was a faint red blood spring surging. As long as the snake dared to get closer One step, and he will start.
However, when he faced Ji Qingzhuo, he still had such a pure and harmless appearance, as if he was staying there, waiting for Ji Qingzhuo's protection.
Ji Qingzhuo did indeed protect him. She used the fire-igniting formula beside Shen Rongyu. The edge of the flame was controlled very well. She didn't touch Shen Rongyu, but drove the white snake back. Up and down, Ji Qingzhuo provoked an opponent who was not easy to deal with.
The snake-shaped demon turned and rushed towards Ji Qingzhuo. She controlled the umbrella and retreated, but the speed of the snake tail was even faster. under deep snow.
However, Ji Qingzhuo's figure turned sideways strangely, directly avoiding the attack of the snake-shaped demon. It seemed that she had predicted its attack direction before the demon attacked.
— This is naturally the result of calculations, Ji Qingzhuo looked at the angle at which the snake's tail was raised, calculated its landing point, and avoided it in advance.
Shen Rongyu watched her movements, but still didn't make a move. Ji Qingzhuo's calculation ability is far beyond ordinary people.
But her... body is too weak...
Shen Rongyu saw that when she was avoiding the attack of the snake-shaped demon, because her body was tilted to the left, the movement range was a little wider, so she dodged her waist directly.
Ji Qingzhuo directly supported his waist, because of cramps, severe pain came, the outside world is indeed not as beautiful as in Xuanyunzong.
At this time, the snake-shaped demon entangled itself again, and it opened its mouth towards Ji Qingzhuo. Inside the huge grinning mouth... turned out to be a bottomless snow cave. It will be covered with ice and snow and freeze to death alive.
Ji Qingzhuo moved the umbrella forward to block the demon's attack. She didn't know how to transform the demon, so she could only turn her head and look at Shen Rongyu: "Senior Brother Xiaoyu, how can I...transform it?"
Shen Rongyu's current cultivation base is around Yuanying, and for demons below Yuanying, he can directly forcibly strip away the negative energy and the ghost energy of the earth veins, so he instructed Ji Qingzhuo: "Close your eyes and activate your Umbrella... uh... Umbrella, release energy at it."
When mentioning the name of this umbrella, Shen Rongyu stammered.
"Okay." Ji Qingzhuo didn't know why he had to close his eyes, but it was all right.
So she closed her eyes, listened to the sound to identify the position, and relied on calculations to continuously avoid the attack of the snake-shaped demon and determine its position.
Looking for an opportunity, she raised her umbrella towards the snake-shaped demon—she knew that this umbrella had the ability to attack, and the most basic attack was to release energy from the surface of the umbrella, and radiate energy in the fan-shaped direction ahead. She didn't know which one of the Five Elements Spirit Qi it was, because she had never used it before.
There is a reason why Shen Rongyu asked her to close her eyes, because the attack energy released by the umbrella is not in the five elements, but an extremely evil red airflow. This airflow is not released by relying on Shen Rongyu's own power. Its source of power is Ji Qingzhuo. Therefore, every red air flow is weak, but it is also enough to tightly entangle the snake-shaped demon.
Just how powerful is this umbrella? Ji Qingzhuo, who controls him, is only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, yet he can cross a huge realm and directly subdue a demon with a Golden Core cultivation—Shen Rongyu did not make a move, but this umbrella The umbrella transformed and utilized the mana released by Ji Qingzhuo to the extreme.
Such a magic weapon endowed the master of the magic weapon with the most unstoppable power the moment he bowed his head to his master.
When Ji Qingzhuo closed her eyes, in the darkness, she did not completely lose her vision, relying on the sound to distinguish the position and direction of the opponent, just like her instinct, when she heard the snake-shaped demon fall to the ground When the dull sound came, she knew that she had subdued the demon.
And the red air flow peeled off the scales of the snake-shaped demon, forcefully peeling something off its body. The snake tried to writhe and struggle on the ground, but the red air flow held on firmly. It, let it not move, because its struggling sound will be heard by Ji Qingzhuo, and when she hears this desperate struggling sound, she will not be able to bear it.
As the negative energy was stripped away from the snake-shaped demons, the ground under their feet was trembling constantly, and the originally green trees were gradually withering, and the camouflage belonging to this forest was shed.
The snake-shaped demon suddenly shimmered, and Shen Rongyu called Ji Qingzhuo: "Zhuo Zhuo, open your eyes."
Ji Qingzhuo opened her eyes, and she saw a phantom rising above the body of the white snake, and the picture reflected in the phantom showed an event that once happened here.
"The name of this demon is '伥'. Like the mandrill, it is a huge species. Some people die here, and the resentment born from it will attach to this place, attracting other humans and spirit beasts to come here, and let them do the same. The white snake is just the appearance of the demon's actions, the next time it is lured, it may become a rabbit, a tiger...or even a human being." Shen Rongyu introduced this kind of demon.
"Zhuozhuo, when you come to this forest, the magic-seeking wheel will start to rotate rapidly and uniformly, because this entire forest is the incarnation of you." Shen Rongyu stepped forward, his feet stepped on the snow , leaving a string of steady footprints.
Ji Qingzhuo responded, and she stared at the image transformed by the drawn negative energy, which was the blown dead leaves in the forest, and there was an unstoppable call.
"A Bao? A Bao—" A pair of rough palms brushed away the dead leaves, and a middle-aged man with a vicissitudes of life walked into the forest, looking for something anxiously.
His clothes were worn out, cotton wool was exposed from the cotton robe wrapped around his body, and the stitches were re-opened where he had been mended, and no one seemed to mend it for him.
"A Bao!" He continued to call, and walked into the forest in a daze. The cotton shoes on his feet were also torn, exposing his blue toes from the cold.
Ji Qingzhuo turned her head away, she couldn't bear to look at it, she sighed softly.
But the middle-aged man's increasingly anxious and desperate cry drew her attention back. He came to the depths of the snowy forest. Under the tree, he was in the shape of a child. In the snow, he had already lost his breath, and he still maintained his appearance before death, because his body was frozen stiff by the extreme cold weather.
He was lying on the tree trunk, covering his eyes. This action was obviously playing a game of peek-a-boo, which is quite popular among children. His clothes were as shabby as his father's.
"A Bao—" The middle-aged man knelt down, holding the child's frozen body, his crying gradually weakened, because the scene faded.
Ji Qingzhuo's eyes widened. Looking at the picture in front of her, she only stretched out her hand and flicked it forward, and the picture dissipated and turned into flying snow. This bit of resentment also dissipated in the world, instead of dying as a demon .
"If killed by a righteous monk, this scene will be buried forever, and no one will know." Shen Rongyu said to Ji Qingzhuo.
Ji Qingzhuo froze in place, she didn't slow down, she just felt that her head was empty, her perception had always been dull, but such a simple picture was enough to make her unable to recover for a long time.
Shen Rongyu called her: "Zhuozhuo, let's go, the magic wheel has turned again."
Ji Qingzhuo looked down, and the demon-seeking wheel in her hand pointed in a general direction again. Here, there will be new demons waiting for her.
She followed Shen Rongyu's pace, and as soon as she walked out of the snowy forest where she was once a slave, the villagers outside the forest looked at them in shock.
"You—how did you get out of this man-eating forest?" The villager looked at them and asked in shock.
