Boom! Between the mountains, the miasma surged like an ocean, and thunderous roars exploded, dispersing the miasma in the sky.

In the hazy red miasma, one can see spirit ships charging forward, with green, purple and gold protective shields flashing on their hulls.

Waves of energy blasted out from the spirit ship, hitting the ugly, rotten bone eagles covered in spikes.

But there were too many rotten bone eagles. They hid in the thick miasma, waiting for an opportunity to spit out mouthfuls of black mucus towards the spirit ship.

These mucus are highly corrosive and will emit black smoke when they fall on the protective light shield of the spirit ship.

On the spirit ship, sect disciples such as Bishui and Youhuang launched attacks together to prevent the demon eagle from approaching.

This battle lasted for most of the day until a Foundation Establishment cultivator took action and killed three second-order rotten bone demon eagles. Only then did the group of eagles disappear in the thick miasma.

Black smoke billowed from the spirit ships, and the stench of decay spread throughout the hulls.

It’s also because the three Bishui sects have been too active these days. In order to hunt down the independent cultivators who rushed into the wilderness, the three sects mobilized eleven spirit ships to patrol the mountains and fields.

With the support of powerful combat force, the three sects united to break out of the previously initially developed area and went deep into the wilderness to hunt down the fleeing cultivators.

Such a large-scale movement attracted the attention of the Rotten Bone Eagle.

This battle was a lose-lose situation. Several spirit ships were severely corroded and needed to return to the sect for major repairs.

The remaining spirit ship defense formations were also affected.

This does not include the injured foundation-building and Qi-cultivating cultivators.

The cultivators from the three sects who were attacked by the demonic eagle also restrained their boastful thoughts and instead sent their disciples to form teams to search deep into the forest for the wandering cultivators who had entered the mountains.

Even though no one believed that a casual cultivator could escape from the wilderness, they still had to follow the orders of the sect's Jindan Patriarch.

…

Shen Lian was not aware of this battle.

He had already run two thousand miles out of Qianyun Mountain.

Moreover, the distance is still increasing.

The wilderness is full of mountains and is shrouded in miasma. Unlike the endless plains, once you dive into the mountains, it is difficult to notice the spirit ship passing overhead.

The Bishui Sect has no regard for immortal virtues and uses artillery fire to deal with Qi training. Even if he has the Bailing Poison, it is of no use.

Zhuji stood on the spirit ship and looked down from a high place. He pulled out the cork of the bottle and poured the spirit poison into his own mouth.

It’s quite good, we produce and sell by ourselves, no waste at all.

If you can't afford to offend, why not just run away?

No matter how great your opportunity is, I'm running away first! It's true that he is an ant in front of the Green Water Sect. If the opportunity is really great, then the Green Water Sect is also an ant in the eyes of other cultivators.

Let the flying sword fly for a while longer.

Outside the area initially developed by the Bishui Sect, the environment became even worse. There were swamps and dangerous places hidden in the mountains and forests, which Shen Lian needed to explore bit by bit.

More importantly, you must be careful about the existence of second-level monsters.

Before long, the number of black-horned demon ants exploring the way had been reduced by one third.

As for how he died, Shen Lian was not sure. He might have been fed to a monster, or he might have fallen into a quagmire, or he might have died instantly.

For this reason, he could only cultivate the black-horned demon ants as he walked.

He walked and stopped, and went in circles, and more than half a year had passed. In the end, he couldn't even calculate how many miles he had walked.

I have taken too many detours. I take a detour when I encounter danger or feel uneasy.

In short, take a detour.

Anyway, there are still mountains on the other side of the mountain.

…

Safe cave.

This is a desolate cave deep underground.

It was so dry that there were not even mice or inspiration.

Shen Lian likes this place very much. He feels safe and secure and has lived here for more than a month.

From the first time he discovered the natural underground cave, he no longer opened up caves on his own. Instead, he specifically let the black-horned demon ants find such caves to live in places with sparse spiritual energy.

The surroundings were covered with small holes, and black-horned demon ants were drilling in and out.

Now, the number of black-horned demon ants has not only recovered, but is now close to seven hundred.

Among them, twelve are at the second level of Qi training, and fifty-three are at the first level of Qi training.

Inside the cave.

Shen Lian had a circle of mind-clearing talismans pasted on his head, and his eyes were as red as a rabbit's. As he continued to practice the secret method of refining blood and generating souls, his bloodthirsty urge became more and more intense.

The first-grade, superior-quality Heart-Clearing Talisman showed signs of being unable to be suppressed.

Dahei was lying on the side shivering, with his two tentacles drooping on the ground, not daring to come up and ask for a touch.

Half an hour later, the blood red in Shen Lian's eyes finally dissipated.

He grabbed Dahei and tossed it back and forth in his hands a few times.

"You useless piece of shit. You've eaten several Yellow Bud Pills in such a long time, but you still haven't advanced to the middle stage of the first stage."

“Hiss—”

Shen Lian ignored Dahei's protests, grabbed five yellow bud pills from the storage bag, and stuffed the pills directly into Dahei's mouth.

Then, he pinched his mouth and shook its head vigorously.

"If you don't get promoted, your more than one hundred wives will be given to other black-horned demon ants."

The higher the strength of the monster, the higher its intelligence will be. Faced with the complex wilderness environment, Dahei's intelligence will naturally be as high as possible.

But this guy is too disappointing. The other black-horned demon ants caught up with him and have already improved their strength to the same level as Dahei.

If it weren’t for...she exploded and died due to the Shen’s feeding method, she would have inherited Dahei’s more than one hundred wives.

Speaking of which, Dahei is also blessed.

Even though he didn't advance to the middle stage of the first stage, under Shen Lian's rough training, he survived death despite being torn apart many times.

Unlike the other two of its kind with similar strength, it was torn apart in one go.

Click——

A hissing scream was heard, and the big black demon's body collapsed again as expected, with the medicinal power and demonic energy bubbling out of its body.

This attracted the other black-horned demon ants to come out and get closer to look at the big black one that was rolling around.

"A bunch of rubbish, hurry up and eat the monster meat."

Looking at this group of idiots, Shen Lian was furious.

The black-horned demon ant is quite well behaved, but its brain is too small and its blood vessels are not very good.

Under the pressure of Shen Lian's spiritual power, the black-horned demon ants scattered.

At this moment, the evil spirit on the cracked big black body was restrained again, and the stagnant breath began to rise.

Shen Lian nodded, finally all his efforts were not in vain.

After Dahei was stuffed with five Huangya Pills at once, he was lucky enough not to explode and die again. He was promoted to the middle stage of the first level, comparable to the fourth level of Qi training for humans.

“Hiss—”

In response to Shen Lian's rough care, Dahei, whose intelligence had improved a little after his promotion, expressed a little protest.

As a result, he was beaten up by Shen Lian.

Getting beaten makes the monster grow.

After learning from his mistakes, Dahei beat up the black-horned demon ants under his command and returned to Shen Lian to beg for help.

Although the brain is small, it can still distinguish when it is full at each meal, except that sometimes it is a little cracked when full.

After Dahei was promoted to the middle stage of Qi training, he could better command the black-horned demon ant colony. As usual, Shen Lian rewarded him with a few spirit stones and stuffed them into his mouth.

Certainly, not as rude as before.

It’s because Dahei’s strength was not good in the past. Without strength, he could only enjoy the cramming-style training.

"Go ahead."

Dahei, who received the reward from Shen Lian, left the cave with his black-horned demon ants and began to explore the wilderness environment ahead.

Shen Lian himself hid in a cave to practice.

Although he had been migrating in the wilderness for the past year and the environment was not stable, which affected his spiritual enlightenment and perception points, he did not fall behind in his cultivation.

On the contrary, because he encountered some spiritual herbs in the wilderness, combined with spiritual stones and elixirs, his realm has reached the eighth level of Qi training.

It just so happened that he had a barrier-breaking pill in his hand, and Shen Lian planned to break through the eighth level of Qi training here before continuing on his journey.
