When Yan Li entered the mountain, it was already dawn. There were a lot of people from the Judicial Department, and there were traces left by them everywhere, so it was not difficult to track them. But when he reached the river and the old forest, he was also in trouble because there were traces on both sides. He had to compromise and went deeper into the old forest near the river.
This primitive old forest looked as if no one had ever set foot in it. The ancient trees were so tall that their tops could not be seen, and they were dense and clustered. The thick vines wrapped around the trees and rocks like spider webs, and some of them were thicker than thighs even though they were withered. There were unknown flowers and grasses everywhere, and some of them were brightly colored, and he felt dizzy when he got close to them. The soil was buried by dead branches and leaves, and he did not know how many feet deep it was. Sometimes, a centipede as thick as an arm would jump out and stand in the distance. Its legs and mouthparts moved together as if it was demonstrating.
This forest was strange!
Yan Li's intuition told him that this place was very unusual. Not to mention other things, just the arm-thick centipede alone was almost a spirit. He had never seen or heard of such a thing before.
In front of him lay a spider the size of a human head, which had been cut in half. Shaking off the unknown blue-green liquid on his refined steel sword, Yan Li wiped the sweat on his face and looked around.
At this point, there were no more traces to follow. There were none from the Judicial Department, and even less from Tang Sang Hua.
His eyes inadvertently swept over a place, and he suddenly narrowed his eyes.
Gone!
The spider's body was gone!
Could it be that some natural enemy of the spider had eaten it in front of Yan Li's eyes? But what kind of natural enemy could hide from its senses?
Squatting down, the unknown liquid on the sword was still very fresh, which proved that it was not an illusion.
Suddenly, he was stunned. Not only the liquid, there was also a sand-like silver particle. He picked it up and pinched it between his fingers. It was a little hard, and he did not know what it was.
Yan Li thought for a while, and then threw it away. He could not be sure that it fell from the spider, and even if it did, it could have been eaten by mistake.
Putting the refined steel sword back into the sword case, he continued to walk forward. The scabbard was made of thick leather and was divided into two layers. There were more than ten sword pouches filled with fine steel swords. There was not only the sword sheath on his back, there was also a heavy bag and Xuan Jun, which weighed a hundred kilograms. Therefore, he was carrying a weight of more than a hundred kilograms.
If he didn't have any vitality, he would be exhausted to death. Of course, a cultivator's body was very different from an ordinary person's after years of tempering.
Although the forest was old, it wasn't very big. It didn't take long for them to reach the top.
Just as he was thinking about where to go next, a strange howl came from above his head. Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw a furry creature pouncing toward him.
Although it came without warning, its attack was full of flaws.
Yan Li unsheathed his sword and slashed. Blood splattered everywhere. The thing left behind a hand and fled into the forest in a panic. With a quick glance, he saw that it had a human-like face with green skin and long hands and feet. It looked like a monkey, but it was not a monkey.
Let's call it the Greenface Beast for now.
Yan Li looked at the Green Faced Beast's hand. It was also human-like, but it was very thick and the blood was bright red. No wonder the villagers said that there were savages here. It was the Green Faced Beast.
He continued forward and soon came to a valley overgrown with weeds. The weeds were almost taller than him and it was very difficult to walk.
Suddenly, he stopped because a faint smell of blood entered his nose. He squinted his eyes and looked around. He was startled. He saw that the old vines on the cliff in front of him were stained with blood. They extended all the way down and were blocked by the weeds. He couldn't see clearly.
He took out his sword and slowly approached. When his vision cleared, he saw a cave covered by weeds in front of him. The weeds in front of the cave were obviously trampled by something and there were many traces of blood.
Could it be the Green Faced Beast?
Yan Li couldn't be bothered to argue with it and was about to leave. But at this moment, a voice came from the cave. Listening carefully, it seemed to be the sound of a woman crying.
He slowly walked closer and heard the voice clearly. The corner of his mouth slowly rose, "Looks like I made it in time."
But before he could get any closer, the crying stopped.
He walked over and stood at the entrance of the cave. He wanted to shout, but then he thought that since she was here, the pursuers must be nearby. Shouting could easily attract them, so he prepared to enter the cave.
Who would have thought that a cold shout would come from inside the cave, and a sharp fragrant wind would rush out first.
"Stop!" Yan Li knew that she was like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bow. He hurriedly took a few steps back to let her see him clearly. "It's me."
Tang Sanghua was about to leave the cave and fight to the death with the pursuers, but when she heard the familiar voice, she slowed down. When she saw who it was, she still couldn't believe her eyes. When she looked closer, she suddenly felt a warm flow from the top of her head to her whole body. This heat caused her body to soften.
"She still has the strength to cry, it seems …"
Yan Li suddenly stopped talking. The woman in front of him, other than her face, was completely soaked in blood. It was as if she had been fished out of a pool of blood. The most shocking thing was the three sharp arrows that pierced through her lower abdomen.
"Did the corpse come back to life?"
He took two steps and held Tang Sanghua, who had collapsed, "You suffered such a serious injury, but you didn't die. Are you a human? Don't tell me you have the blood of the Desolate in your body! "
His words were cold, but his actions were not. He hurriedly carried her into the cave and found a flat place to put her down. After carefully examining the wound, he found that there was a mysterious force on it that prevented the bleeding.
"It's the Nine Turns Heart Protection Pill …" Tang Sanghua seemed to have something to rely on and exposed her weakness.
Yan Li had never heard of this pill. He said, "Heart protection? It seems to only delay death. How much longer? "
"Half an hour …"
"You're lucky, I brought medicine and clean gauze."
He took off his sword, took out the things in the bag, and began to treat her wound. Gradually, he found that the effect of the pill was incredible. When he pulled out the arrow, the wound didn't bleed.
He went to find some water nearby, treated the wound, applied hemostatic medicine, and wrapped it with clean gauze.
In the end, they managed to treat all the wounds before the effects of the drug wore off. Tang Sanhua's life could be considered to have been saved.
As for Tang Sanhua, she had already fallen into a deep sleep.
However, she only slept for less than an hour before she was woken up by the pain. The wound was treated, and there was no sign of bleeding, but the pain was still unavoidable.
"Yan Li, I really didn't expect you to come!" However, compared to the excitement, the pain was nothing.
"I came …"
"Really!" Tang Sanghua didn't give Yan Li a chance to speak at all. She was almost incoherent, "But I actually imagined that you would come to save me. It turns out that this is the feeling of fantasy coming true. Yan Li, thank you, thank you for saving me … But what should I do? They are still here, and the pursuers are still here. I didn't kill them all, and I will implicate you. Run, run …"
"Calm down." Yan Li gently pressed Tang Sanghua's lips.
Tang Sanghua's pretty face blushed, and her eyes were a little evasive, "How can I calm down?"
Yan Li said, "Tell me about the situation after you escaped from Yongling. I'm very interested to know that you can survive until now under the pursuit of the Judicial Department. Let's take it as a story. "
"Of course I'm very powerful." Tang Sanghua was proud, and she told the story from the beginning. At the end, she said, "Humph, if it wasn't for the Black Wind Monster, I would have killed the old man!"
"If it wasn't for the Black Wind Monster, you would be dead now." Yan Li said thoughtfully, "But, what is the Black Wind Monster you mentioned? Did you see what it looked like? "
"Meteorite Beast."
"What?"
"Meteorite Beast, a monster polluted by star power." Tang Sanghua said.
"Star power? Isn't that very pure energy? "Yan Li raised his eyebrows.
Tang Sanghua shook her head, "Knowing too much is not good for you now."
Yan Li said, "Knowing too little can also be bad!"
Tang Sanghua said in a sweet voice, "Yan Li, trust me. I won't hurt you. There are some things that you don't know now."
"Now you're pretending to be mysterious." Yan Li sneered, "Just now, you looked like you were going to kill someone. You don't have the demeanor of a master."
Tang Sanghua was helpless, but she didn't want to disappoint him, "You saved my life, and I'm very grateful. Let me tell you something. There is a monster called the Meteorite Beast in this world. Take the Black Wind for example, it's actually a 'dragon.' It has star power crystals, and the crystals allow it to use supernatural powers. If you encounter it, don't hesitate, run immediately. "
"You said so much, but I only know that it's dangerous."
"You said that the star power is a very pure energy. Theoretically, it's correct. We cultivators can more or less sense the Sea of Stars in the process of cultivation. Especially those above the third level, they can communicate with the Sea of Stars. However, the Star Power is actually a very complicated structure. Even those who are stronger than the Cultivation State may not be able to understand its mysteries. If you want to explain it clearly, it will involve a lot of aspects. Do you think it's time for tea? "
Yan Li thought about it and said, "One last question."
"Go ahead."
"I just killed a spider. It was as big as a human head, but in the blink of an eye, its body disappeared." Yan Li stared at Tang Sanghua, "There was a small thing left, as hard as a rock. What was it?"
"That was the star power crystal." Tang Sanghua paused, then said, "After the Meteorite Beast dies, the star power crystal will leave its body. Depending on the amount and composition of the star power, it will become different treasures. The small thing you mentioned, if I'm not wrong, should be a Sky Black Stone.
"Sky Black Stone?" Yan Li was shocked, "Isn't it extracted from meteorites?"
"We agreed on one last question." Tang Sanghua grinned, "You can't go back on your words."
"Then let's go. I'll send you out." Yan Li shrugged.
Tang Sanghua was stunned, and felt touched. He said shyly, "You, do you like …"
