When he first killed the Tranquil Lake Goddess, he was unfamiliar with the place and his eyes were filled with confusion, not knowing what kind of danger and trouble he would encounter. But now, it was different. Yang Qing's guidance had helped him clear the fog and straighten out his train of thought. With confidence, he was no longer afraid.
Charcoal had always been fearless, especially with Miao Yi's connivance. It was practically reasonable for him to rebel. His blood immediately rushed to his head. He didn't care if it was a mountain of blades, a sea of fire, or a bottomless abyss. He spread his legs and dashed forward like a wisp of smoke.
As the man and steed approached, they realized that this grassland was very different from normal grasslands. From afar, it looked black, but in reality, it was a visual effect of overlapping gray. It wasn't the dense growth of normal grasslands either. There was a gap the width of an arm in the middle, and the clusters were as tall as a person. The leaves were long and serrated, and the evil aura that drifted past would easily linger around them. The forest behind them was the same. The canopy seemed to have the ability to filter out evil aura.
To the man and steed charging forward, even though the grass was as tall as a person, it was still a little lacking compared to Charcoal's height. Naturally, it couldn't block Miao Yi's line of sight as he sat on top of Charcoal. The man and steed charged forward at high speed. Their speed didn't decrease, and they charged forward like a gust of wind.
Unexpectedly, something strange happened. As soon as they moved, the grassland rippled, as though it was being blown by the wind. The branches and leaves swayed like waves. To be more precise, it was as though they were stirring like tentacles. They stretched out, and the branches and leaves whooshed over, wrapping around Charcoal's limbs.
However, Charcoal's momentum was too ferocious. The strange grasses that were entangling him were either torn apart or uprooted from the ground. It seemed like they couldn't stop Charcoal at all, but there were just too many strange grasses on the plains. Charcoal quickly dragged a huge pile behind him, as though he was dragging a small mountain.
Charcoal's body was also wrapped by quite a few, causing his body to become bloated. As Charcoal ran, he opened his mouth and bit randomly, a little manic. The small mountain behind him was also constantly being dragged by the tentacles around him, causing the small mountain to grow bigger and bigger.
And Miao Yi couldn't stand the disturbance. The strange grass that stretched out like tentacles wouldn't let him go. The Inversed-Scales Spear was useless in this situation. He had no choice but to draw his sword and quickly slash around, chopping off the 'tentacles' that wrapped around him. However, he didn't seem to panic at all.
Even if Charcoal's strength could push mountains, it still couldn't withstand this. Sometimes, tenacity was the best way to deal with brute force. After a while, Charcoal's speed slowed down, becoming slower and slower. Gradually, they were unable to run anymore, and the strange creatures around them were still extending their tentacles towards them. Finally, they were forced to a stop.
Right at this moment, a buzzing sound came from Miao Yi's hand, and a ferocious flame ignited and exploded. Miao Yi held a piece of Red Blaze Resin that was used to refine artifacts, and with a flip of his palm, the fireball fell onto Charcoal's abdomen. In a flash, he and Charcoal were both enveloped in the raging flames; the temperature was ferocious.
A series of hissing sounds rang out. The strange grass tentacles that were entangling them instantly loosened in panic, fled, retracted, and emitted smoke.
In an instant, the bindings on their bodies disappeared, and they were clean.
With a flip of his hand, Miao Yi held another piece of Red Blaze Resin between his two fingers. It was instantly ignited by the open flame he was sitting on. With a wave of his hand, he tossed it over his shoulder, and it landed on the hill of grass that Charcoal was dragging behind him. In a split second, thick smoke billowed out from the flames.
The enormous grass hill that had been entangled was restless like a living creature, and some hurriedly retracted their tentacles. Some that had been uprooted were actually quickly crawling away. The scene was bustling, and it was an eye-opener for Miao Yi and Charcoal.
Xiu! With a sound, Miao Yi flicked out another piece of Red Blaze Resin. As it passed through the burning open flame, it was already ignited, and once again landed on the ground in front of them, burning. That wasn't the end. Miao Yi flicked out piece after piece of Red Blaze Resin, as though he was flicking out fireballs, flying ahead.
"Still not leaving? Do you really want to become Charcoal? " The sword in Miao Yi's hand tapped twice on Charcoal's body, whose eyes were filled with excitement, and who wished for the world to be plunged into chaos.
Charcoal immediately broke into a mad dash, his momentum rising again. He dashed along the path of burning flames, as though he was running on a fire dragon. Sitting on Charcoal's back, Miao Yi flicked out Red Blaze Resin unceasingly. Fireballs flew ahead to pave the path, clearing away the obstacles in front of Charcoal. The strange grass in front of him was actually uprooted, and the grass roots were like legs, pushing against the grass as they ran to the sides, avoiding the raging flames.
After the last piece of Red Blaze Resin was tossed out, Miao Yi flipped his hand and fished out the Transcendence Bow. A Meteor Arrow fused with a Resentful Spirit Bead was nocked on the bowstring. With an explosive bang, a streak of light suddenly shot straight towards the forest behind the grasslands.
This arrow was not only to probe the dangers of the forest ahead, but also to test the effects of the Meteor Arrow fused with a Spirit Bead. At the same time, it was also to open up a path.
Bang! The large tree in front of Charcoal was pierced by the Meteor Arrow. How could such a large tree possibly withstand the Meteor Arrow? The Meteor Arrow flew in a straight line, piercing through over a hundred large trees in front of it before losing its momentum. With a 'thud', it stabbed into a tree behind it, and then jumped out on its own, tumbling back in the air.
Every tree that was struck by the arrow seemed to have come to life. Their branches and leaves swayed like limbs, and the wounds inflicted by the arrow rapidly changed color, as though a drop of ink had fallen into clear water and dyed the area. These large trees, including their roots, crawled out of the ground one after another, crashing into the surroundings.
The last piece of Red Blaze Resin was nearing the edge of the forest. The raging flames also forced the trees at the edge of the forest to pull out their roots in a panic, using them as their feet, and quickly flee. It was clear that the raging flames were indeed their bane.
The large trees blocking the path ahead all ran away. The Meteor Arrow flipped over, and Miao Yi nocked the bowstring again. With a bang, another arrow was shot in a straight line. Encountering an area with dense trees and weeds, he flicked another piece of burning Red Blaze Resin out to clear the obstacles, opening up a path for Charcoal ahead of time.
Charcoal was excited. He loved the feeling of killing gods and buddhas blocking his way. He loved the feeling of seeing everything in front of him collapse, as if no one could stop his charge. This was the coolness of being a mount.
Miao Yi could be said to be merciless, as though he wasn't afraid of stirring up trouble. He would blast away anything that stood in his way, regardless of whose territory it was.
Yang Qing's so-called three stratagems of high, medium, and low had already been tossed to the back of his mind. Yang Qing had repeatedly urged him to be careful, but no matter how careful he was, he had already thrown them aside.
He had already made up his mind. Since he had already decided to go to the dragon's lair and phoenix's nest, and since he knew that he would encounter trouble sooner or later on the long road ahead, and since he already had a countermeasure, then there was nothing to be afraid of. If he met any small fry blocking his way, he wouldn't be polite either. He would just kill them straight away!
It would be even better if he could go to the dragon's lair and phoenix's nest alone. If he really couldn't do it, then he would think about it after he was stopped. In short, before he was stopped, there was no need to keep a low profile.
Of course, he didn't have to take the initiative to look for trouble.
After charging out of the vast forest, he would sometimes go up and down hills, and sometimes pass through valleys. Occasionally, he would come across strange mountain forests. Under the circumstances where he could see around them, he wouldn't go straight through them. If he could, he would. In short, he wouldn't change the direction of his destination.
However, after causing such a huge ruckus in the Secluded Forest Stronghold, the Secluded Forest Stronghold wasn't a bunch of dead people. After charging out of the forest for more than two hours, he was finally stopped.
A number of people flew over from the sky, trailing Miao Yi as he sped down below. Miao Yi only raised his head to look at them, then ignored them and continued to let Charcoal go forward.
When he charged out of the continuous mountain range, he appeared in a relatively flat wilderness. In front of him, there were over a hundred people gathered in the wilderness, glaring at him like a tiger watching its prey.
The number of people flying in the sky also quickly overtook him, landing in front of the crowd. The person in the lead pointed his spear at him and shouted angrily, "Who dares to come to the Secluded Forest Stronghold and behave atrociously? Hurry up and stop and surrender."
As he ran, Charcoal turned his head back to look. Miao Yi didn't make a sound, but instead waved his hand and took out the Inversed-Scales Spear. With the spear in his hand, he assumed a charging stance.
Charcoal immediately understood what he meant. He looked straight ahead, and not only did he not stop, he even sped up and charged towards the crowd. His four limbs moved as fast as a phantom, and his eyes revealed a fanatical look.
Seeing that the other party had no intention of stopping, the person in the lead pointed his spear at him and shouted, "Stop!"
Swish! Miao Yi charged forward on his steed. His momentum was too fierce, and the person hurriedly dodged to the side. At the same time, he thrust his spear towards Miao Yi's waist.
Miao Yi turned his body sideways and shot out his spear with the speed of a thunderbolt. His attack came first, and the sharp spearhead emitted a hazy, murderous aura. It struck the person's heart, and immediately sent him flying. Soon after, the spear struck out like a dragon. With Charcoal's head, he forcefully opened up a path, while Miao Yi fired his spear to the left and right. Those who were about to leap into the air and escape were also cut down by his spear.
Single-Handedly, Miao Yi was cleaving through the waves, and in a single breath, he killed his way through the obstructing formation. In an instant, more than ten people fell to the ground. There was no one who could exchange more than two blows with Miao Yi. The foundation that Lao Bai had laid down for him all those years ago was not to be trifled with. It was precisely for the sake of dealing with a situation like today. Killing this group of people was as easy as pie. In fact, Miao Yi was increasingly aware of the importance of the foundation that Lao Bai had made him suffer all those years ago. If it weren't for the incomparably dangerous tempering, Miao Yi believed that he might not have been able to reach this point today. He had tasted what it meant by 'the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold'. It was truly a lifelong benefit to him.
Such a ferocious charge caused the remaining people to tremble in fear, and they hurriedly ran away to avoid it.
Amidst the sounds of galloping, Charcoal directly charged out from the flying and screaming crowd. He didn't change his direction, and like a wisp of smoke, he charged into the mountains in the distance. With his spear in hand, Miao Yi didn't even turn his head around. One man and one steed didn't have the slightest intention of stopping. Just like that, he swaggered off. How delightful!
The remaining group of people were either hovering in the air or standing motionless on the ground. They all had a look of lingering fear on their faces as they watched the steed leave into the distance. Unexpectedly, not a single one of them dared to give chase.
At this moment, the remaining people were mostly rejoicing. Rejoicing that they weren't the ones standing in front of that steed. Otherwise, they would be the ones rolling on the ground right now.
One of them came back to his senses and shouted, "Quickly report to the Fort Master!"
