Chapter 232【(*^▽^*)】
After a loud bang, a figure landed near the deep pit. It was a middle-aged man with a small beard. His hair was a little messy, and his clothes were torn. He looked a little unkempt.
He stood there, frowning slightly, looking around, as if looking for something.
"Ah... I didn't expect you to be so fast, but I still lost you."
He looked in the direction of Fengwu Country.
"Do you want to go?"
"Or should I forget it?"
"There are Jindan-stage cultivators there, and I'm only in the late stage of foundation building. If I go there, I'll just die."
He was very angry when he thought of this.
"Oh... it's my fault for being careless. I will definitely strengthen the guard in the future. This kind of thing must not happen again..."
After muttering these words, he gave up chasing forward, but did not give up searching. Instead, he searched a large circle around here.
After two hours, he still found nothing. He cursed irritably and summoned his flying sword.
The flying sword drew an arc in the air and came to his side. He flew up, landed lightly on the sword, and left.
After this person left, this place fell into silence. After a while, some small animals appeared, and then gradually returned to its original state.
Just like this, two days passed.
The middle-aged man who left before appeared here again. He was standing at the edge of the deep pit with a gloomy face and stared at the deep pit for a long time.
Then he looked ferocious and shouted, "He really ran away! How is it possible..."
"How is it possible to have such a powerful magical power? How can Fengwu Kingdom have such an excellent disciple! None of them came from Han Gu, but from Shenwu Island..."
"How can this be a poisonous spiritual root? Fengwu Kingdom is really wasting natural resources. If it were me..."
He was furious and cursed incoherently, as if he was extremely angry. After cursing, he shook his sleeves and left again.
After leaving this time, the middle-aged man did not come back, but several days passed quietly here.
At the bottom center of the deep pit, darkness slowly spread.
Qin Jiuzhou brought Ming Yufeng out of it. Ming Yufeng had already woken up, and the two stood up with each other's help.
Qin Jiuzhou had stayed up for several days just in case, and only came out after confirming that there was no danger.
Qin Jiuzhou looked around.
"It's really amazing... This is a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building. It seems that the gap between each small realm in the foundation building period will be very large."
Ming Yufeng, "The top-grade spiritual treasure in his hand is the key to victory."
And he only realized at this time that the magical power Qin Jiuzhou displayed had nothing to do with poison. This was definitely not a poisonous spiritual root.
This dark space...
Ming Yufeng did not say much. He was not the kind of person who was inflexible. Although he did not know why Qin Jiuzhou had been hiding his true spiritual roots, everyone had their own secrets.
And he could not keep it secret forever.
When he had to choose a sect after arriving at Daohan Ancient Continent, he would definitely have to reveal the attributes of his spiritual roots. If he wanted to talk about this, he would talk about it at that time.
Qin Jiuzhou, "You are right, this spiritual treasure is indeed top-grade..."
If it were not for that spiritual treasure, even if he and Ming Yufeng could not win, they would definitely not lose, and could even have the upper hand.
But this cultivator was in the late stage of foundation building and had a top-grade spiritual sword in his hand.
It was really difficult to deal with.
Especially...
Qin Jiuzhou could see that even in the late stage of foundation building, the opponent did not bring out the full power of this precious sword. It seemed that this person's spiritual power was not too strong.
Ming Yufeng recuperated for a while and now looked better. He held two spiritual stones in his hands, which soon turned into waste stones and were crushed and thrown aside.
Qin Jiuzhou took a deep breath, "Let's go. Anyway, we have the things in hand. Let's leave first and talk about other things when we return to the academy. However, this place is not safe. We have to leave first. Now you can only recuperate on the flying boat."
Ming Yufeng nodded, "I'm fine, let's go."
Qin Jiuzhou took out his flying boat. This flying boat was an incomplete top-grade spiritual treasure. Unfortunately, he didn't know how to complete the formation restrictions on it.
If...
they got on the flying boat and left quickly.
Ming Yufeng was seriously injured. Although he could be healed on the flying boat, he still needed a safe place to recover properly.
Qin Jiuzhou himself was not feeling well either. Although he was not seriously injured, he had consumed too much energy from using his magical powers before, so he also needed to rest.
Fortunately, the other party never came back after leaving this time, so the two of them had a chance to catch their breath.
Qin Jiuzhou stood solemnly on the flying boat, which was moving very fast.
But he was still a little worried that someone was chasing him. He didn't know what kind of escape technique that person had practiced, and his speed was very fast. He could actually catch up with their flying boat directly.
After several hours, Qin Jiuzhou confirmed that no one was chasing him, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Ming Yufeng also came over at this time, "Brother Qin, let me do it."
Qin Jiuzhou slowly sat down with his knees crossed, "It's okay, no one is chasing us."
Ming Yufeng was silent for a while before nodding.
Qin Jiuzhou didn't know why, but suddenly thought of Ming Fanxing.
The two of them together were not a match for each other, but if Ming Fanxing was there, the three of them could fight.
However, Ming Fanxing has now officially become an alchemist, and the way to cultivate an alchemist is to refine the elixir, and it will not come out easily if you refine the elixir continuously.
"In the future, we have to become stronger."
Ming Yufeng was stunned for a moment, "Senior Brother Qin?"
Qin Jiuzhou looked at him, "Fanxing has become an alchemist. Although it is not obvious now for a short time, as time goes by, he will definitely be too obsessed with alchemy to practice magic, and lack experience in fighting against others."
"When walking outside... although he has the identity of an alchemy cultivator, most people won't attack him, but you probably know the actual situation and it's not very optimistic."
It's because alchemy cultivators are too rare, especially those who can refine high-grade elixirs. Although they won't be killed if they encounter danger, they are likely to be captured, kept in captivity, and forced to refine elixirs.
Ming Yufeng nodded, "I know, Fanxing... I will never let anything happen to him."
Qin Jiuzhou, "Originally... I was full of confidence, but I didn't expect that this time, with a seemingly unspecial mission, I would be beaten so hard that I couldn't even fight back."
Ming Yufeng didn't know how to answer. If he really wanted to find an excuse, he could find eight or ten of them, such as low realm, weak spiritual treasure, etc.
But in the end, it was because I was not strong enough. If I was strong enough, I could get anything good. How could I be beaten like this?
Qin Jiuzhou's expression suddenly changed. "Do you think..."
Before he finished speaking, he stood up quickly and stared at the back with a vigilant look. "Xiaofeng, can you still fight?"
Ming Yufeng had recovered a little at this time. He frowned and looked back.
"Yes!"
In the distance behind them, they vaguely felt a familiar and dangerous breath. That person was chasing them.
"I never thought that he would come back."
Qin Jiuzhou's eyes were solemn, "What do you think we should do now?"
Ming Yufeng, "In our current situation, we are no match for him head-on."
Qin Jiuzhou, "That's right, we must find a place to hide first, and set up many traps to consume his spiritual power first."
Ming Yufeng thought of something.
"This road is the way we came. If I remember correctly, there should be some Fire Crow monsters living there further ahead. The strongest one is almost at the middle stage of the second stage."
Qin Jiuzhou just remembered at this time, "You are right, we can make use of it a little, but we can't provoke those Fire Crows, and we need to hide after we go there."
Ming Yufeng hesitated for a while before asking, "Brother Qin... can you still use the magical power you got before?"
Qin Jiuzhou, "Yes, I can, but if I use it this time, it can only last for ten hours at most. If it lasts more, even I can't do anything."
Ming Yufeng made a decision, "Go, if he fights with these Fire Crow monsters, it will definitely be our chance."
"If they couldn't fight, they wouldn't be circling around the Fire Crows' territory. After all, once they were targeted by the Fire Crows..."
Qin Jiuzhou, "We've consumed so much energy, and they definitely haven't recovered all their spiritual power. They probably went to find a place to recuperate during the few days they were away."
Ming Yufeng looked forward, "We're almost there, Senior Brother Qin..."
Qin Jiuzhou put away the flying boat, and then took him to the territory occupied by the Fire Crows. The two of them hid carefully.
While they were quietly approaching the territory belonging to the Fire Crows, they also chose a good location where they could hide and make small moves.
The two looked at each other, and then threw a handful of low-level talismans in the direction where the Fire Crows were resting and where the largest number of them were.
As soon as so many talismans were thrown out, Qin Jiuzhou once again displayed his magical power to contain both him and Ming Yufeng.
This small piece of extended darkness swallowed them and disappeared on the spot.
The large number of talismans that had just flown out were all transformed into low-level spells and flew towards the group of fire crows not far away.
These attacks seemed to be numerous and powerful, but in fact the damage caused was very small.
However, some of the trees and other things on the rocks and ground here were severely damaged. The group of fire crows would be extremely angry when they were provoked.
Especially the leader of the second-stage fire crows, who was extremely angry. He kept flying in circles in the sky and kept calling to express his anger.
He even led all the first-stage fire crows to patrol around.
The late-stage foundation-building monk who caught up with him happened to see so many angry fire crows flying around, especially when he found that they were flying towards him, he suddenly felt that something was wrong!
If he had encountered these fire crows in his prime, he could have easily escaped.
