Chapter 230 The Gap
"I don't know how much Fire Saliva Immortal Wine is left in Junior Brother's hands?" the sword-browed young man asked suddenly.
When the others heard the words, they also looked over.
A glass of fairy wine can last for half a day. There are six people here, and they will have to stay in the Black Ice Mountain Range for nearly a month. This bottle alone may not be enough.
"Don't worry, there are still a few jars, enough to survive this trial." Sun Ke said with a chuckle.
The others immediately looked relieved.
"Senior Brother Sun's help this time, I will always remember it, if you need help with anything in the future, feel free to ask." Another tall young man said solemnly.
"Yes, Senior Brother Sun is generous, I will thank you here!" The others nodded.
"You and I are from the same school, and it is only natural to help each other. You are too serious." Sun Ke replied calmly, but he was overjoyed.
He joined Candle Dragon Dao for a short period of time, and he was about to sell some favors to make some connections in the sect. Although he consumed some immortal wine, it was worth it.
At the same time, in the mid-air thousands of miles away, a gleam of joy flashed across Han Li's face, and then he muttered again.
Beside him, Su Tongxiao had disappeared without a trace.
Sun Ke and the others didn't delay much, and continued to move forward. They didn't fly out for a long time, but they ushered in the real first battle after entering the mountain range.
This is a group of snow foxes, the strength of which is equivalent to that of the Nascent Soul Stage to the Transformation Stage. There are forty or fifty of them, rushing out from the mountains on both sides and turning into a huge torrent, howling in unison , the momentum is extremely astonishing.
The six people including Bai Suyuan were already quite strong, plus the previous running-in and warming up with immortal wine, there was a tacit understanding between them, and they immediately formed a battle formation in the shortest time.
Bai Suyuan, the young man with sword eyebrows, and Sun Ke, the three highest-cultivated people stood at the front.
A crescent moon flying sword, a purple gold stick, and four flying knives flew out almost at the same time.
With a flash of the Crescent Moon Flying Sword, it transformed into a hundred-foot-long silver sword rainbow, and chopped it off head on.
The long purple stick shone brightly, hundreds of shadows of purple sticks emerged, making piercing whistling sounds, and struck down fiercely.
The surface of the four cyan flying knives radiated a cyan aura, which suddenly swelled dozens of times, turning into four giant cyan knives tens of feet long, and slashed down.
The torrent formed by dozens of snow foxes was immediately bounced off like a wave hitting a rock.
The first dozen or so Snow Foxes at the Transformation Stage were attacked and killed by the three of them, and their corpses were also blown apart.
But this pause determined their fate.
The other three people standing behind Bai Suyuan and the other three waved their hands at this moment.
Rays of magic weapon light rained down, covering these snow fox monsters.
Rumble!
All kinds of rays of light intertwined, making a muffled thunderous explosion.
After a while, the light of the magic weapon disappeared, and dozens of snow foxes had turned into mutilated corpses all over the place. The blood stained a large area of the ground nearby, emitting a strong bloody smell.
In the distance, Han Li nodded slightly.
These people's adaptability is not bad, especially Bai Suyuan and Sun Ke. After all, they have experienced some life and death in the outside world and know the cruelty of the world of cultivating immortals. Compared with those juniors who were born and raised in the sect, they are different after all.
As the master of the Northern Cold Immortal Territory, Candle Dragon Dao has established a cultivation environment unimaginable by the outside world. It has all kinds of resources and treasures, enabling these disciples of the direct lineage to improve quickly, but the disadvantages have also emerged.
For the growth of these core disciples, the senior leaders of the sect have spent great efforts.
It's just that even immortals seem to be unavoidable...
Bai Suyuan and the others didn't stay long, and immediately moved on after a little rest.
At this moment, the other two people were also attacked by monsters.
On the way to the Snow Camel Ridge, Qi Huanyu and the others encountered a group of icy and snowy birds with heads shaped like vultures, but with huge mouths, which continuously spewed out white ice arrows.
The total number of these fierce birds is more than one hundred, and about half of them have the power of transforming gods.
A series of white ice arrows fell with a breath of extreme cold, and from time to time there were fierce birds swooping down.
Although there are many Qi Huanyu and others, and they all have good magic weapons in their hands, most of them have not experienced many life and death fights.
The cold and ferocious killing intent of the fierce birds, and the stormy attack caught them off guard, and they seemed a little confused under the shock of the momentum.
Everyone stood in a circle, and the rays of various defensive magic weapons were connected together to form a hemispherical shield to resist waves of falling attacks.
"Don't panic, it's just some monsters in the transformation stage! Everyone obeys my instructions, half of them continue to support the protective shield, and the other half fight back!" Qi Huanyu's face was slightly pale, and he shouted in a deep voice.
The rest of the people were headed by him. Now that he yelled loudly, the others felt certain and immediately started to act according to his instructions.
Bright beams of magic weapon flew out, hitting the white ominous bird in the sky above, and began to counterattack.
Although everyone's attacks seemed a little weak because of the suppressed aura, the gap in cultivation was there after all.
The mid-air birds of prey began to be shot down.
After a quarter of an hour, the battle finally ended.
Most of the white vicious birds were killed, and the rest escaped.
Qi Huanyu and the others were not injured. Looking at the mutilated corpses around them and the bloody smell in the air, although they were still pale, their hearts gradually settled down.
"It's a shame that a group of demonic beasts in the transformation stage scare you like this! You've also seen that as long as you fight calmly, these monsters are nothing to be afraid of!" Qi Huanyu shouted encouragingly.
The others nodded upon hearing this.
Qi Huanyu was about to say something more, when an experienced person next to him stepped forward and reminded: "Young Master Qi, the smell of blood is too strong here, it's better to leave as soon as possible."
Qi Huanyu was startled, but immediately understood, and led the crowd to move on.
In mid-air, there was a fluctuation, and a blurry figure emerged, it was Su Tongxiao.
He shook his head, and disappeared from the spot in a flash.
The situation on the road in the White Fox Valley was similar, and Tang Chuan and the others didn't have much experience in bloody fights. Facing the sudden surge of ferocious monsters, they were in a panic.
However, with their strength and good magic weapons in their hands, they still resisted the attack of those monsters, calmly fought and defeated them without any casualties.
The three-way disciples continued to move forward.
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight days passed, and these people gradually penetrated into the depths of the Xuanbing Mountains along three routes.
As the strength of the monsters encountered along the way gradually became stronger, monsters with the strength of the refining period began to appear gradually.
After several fights before, although Qi Huanyu and others' actual combat ability has improved a lot compared to before, they still seem a little cramped when facing monsters of the same level.
On the way to Snow Camel Ridge, Qi Huanyu and others were stopped by a group of monsters, but there were more than a dozen huge snow and ice praying mantises.
The whole body of these praying mantises is snow-white, covered with patterns of frost, their mouths are divided into four petals, and their eyes are huge and protruding. .
Every ice and snow mantis has the cultivation level of the early stage of refining the void, and it is extremely fast, turning into more than a dozen snow-white phantoms, attacking Qi Huanyu and others madly.
Qi Huanyu and the others formed a circle as before, and the magic weapons on their bodies joined together to form a colorful hemispherical light curtain to protect everyone.
It's just that these ice and snow praying mantises are far from being comparable to the previous fierce birds. With their two front paws waving, they pull out a series of bright blade lights, and slash on the spherical light curtain with a terrifying scream.
These bright sword lights were so powerful that they made the light curtain tremble.
Qi Huanyu and the others didn't care about counterattack at all, and desperately poured their mana into their magic weapons to maintain the spherical light curtain.
The ice-snow mantis' eyes were cold, but its mouth let out a bloodthirsty hiss. It waved its two front paws as if it were tireless, and the sword lights rained down from all directions, becoming more and more dense.
The spherical light curtain is not a whole, but it is composed of all magic weapons. Some places with weak power begin to dim, faintly shattering.
"Young Master Qi, what should we do? These ice and snow praying mantises are monsters in the Void Refinement Stage, and there are so many of them, we can't be opponents!" A tall and thin boy looked at Qi Huanyu with horror on his face.
This person is a direct descendant of a true immortal elder in Zhulongdao. He has been practicing in the sect since he was a child. With various elixirs, he broke through to the refining stage smoothly. He has never been outside a few times, let alone Said to fight.
During the past few days, although he has made some progress, the cold eyes and overwhelming killing intent of these ice and snow mantises still make him tremble from the bottom of his heart.
The situation of the others is similar to that of the tall and thin boy, and an idea can't help but emerge in his mind.
Are they going to die here?
Thinking of this, they became even more flustered.
There was a bang!
A light curtain transformed by a white silk magic weapon was cut into pieces by the blade light, and a gap was suddenly exposed in the spherical light curtain.
A bright blade of light flew in, and a bloody gleam suddenly appeared, and a scream sounded.
A person near the gap was sent flying, with a cut on his arm. Fortunately, this person was wearing a magic weapon of high-grade battle armor, so he was not seriously injured.
Qi Huanyu's brows were filled with purple light, and he waved his arm.
A purple magic weapon in the shape of a round wheel flew out, transforming into a purple vortex, filling the gap.
"Don't worry everyone, this trial mission is under the covert protection of the true immortal cultivators, who will help us rule out unexpected situations. These ice and snow mantises should have exceeded the scope of the trial, and I believe someone will take action soon." Qi Huanyu said loudly.
Hearing this, the others were overjoyed.
"I've heard this matter mentioned before, and I was dubious at first, but since Young Master Qi said so, it must be true."
"I see."
"We only have ten people, but there are nearly twenty of these ice and snow praying mantises. It must have exceeded the scope of the trial. Why didn't that person make a move?"
High in the sky, Su Tongxiao's body turned into a fuzzy phantom, the corner of his mouth twitched, he shook his head and sighed, pointing his fingers.
Chi Chi Chi!
Waves of invisible sword energy shot out out of thin air, like a torrent, piercing through most of the ice and snow mantis.
The bodies of these ice and snow praying mantises exploded silently, turning into a pile of powder, which drifted away with the wind.
All this happened in a blink of an eye, and Su Tongxiao's figure disappeared again in a flash.
Qi Huanyu and the others quickly noticed that the amount of knife light falling outside had been reduced by half, leaving only a few of the dozen or so ice and snow praying mantises.
"Hey! Why are there so many praying mantises missing all of a sudden?" One person asked suspiciously.
"Why did you leave? You were killed by someone. Sure enough, someone is secretly protecting us!" Another person immediately retorted.
Qi Huanyu felt relieved, and with a smile on his face, he looked at the few ice and snow praying mantises left outside, and shouted:
"These beasts actually attacked us and killed them all!"
The people nearby agreed in unison, and rays of light from magic weapons rolled towards these ice and snow praying mantises.
After a few breaths, the remaining ice and snow mantises were all killed except for two that escaped.
The two forelimbs of these ice and snow mantises were full of spiritual power, they were excellent materials for refining weapons, and they were very valuable. Even the people present were quite envious, and they were immediately cut off by several people and put them away.
"Go!" Qi Huanyu took the lead and continued to fly forward.
Knowing that someone was secretly protecting him, he was determined and accelerated his progress.
