Chapter 25 Roadblock

Xu Yang and the other two agreed to compete with the monkey leader. The bone-faced monkeys sent out three of their strongest players, and the bone-faced monkey leader was the first to appear.

After Zhu Liuqing and Xu Yang fully communicated, the speed of the three players on their side was Zhu Liuqing first, Pan Tao second, and Xu Yang last. According to Zhu Liuqing's idea, Xu Yang was the first to compete with the bone-faced monkey leader.

A bone-faced monkey held a stone in his hand and threw it lightly above his head. When the stone landed, the bone-faced monkey leader and Xu Yang almost shot towards the boulder at the same time.

Xu Yang used the Nether Fire Art to condense his magic power at the bottom of his feet, and his initial speed seemed to be almost the same as that of the bone-faced monkey leader.

The boulder on the opposite side of the mountain seemed not far away, and the place where it passed was full of various strange rocks and tall trees. Xu Yang's speed gradually slowed down. This monkey leader is worthy of being the king of this group of bone-faced monkeys, and his speed is amazing. The rocks and trees along the way became the springboard for the monkey leader. His figure had already blended into the surrounding environment, and in the blink of an eye, he was ahead of Xu Yang by a lot.

After running for a distance, Xu Yang saw that the gap between him and the monkey leader was getting bigger and bigger. Instead of speeding up, Xu Yang slowed down, and then carefully observed the obstacles on the route, recording them one by one in his mind.

The monkey leader arrived at the target rock early.

When Xu Yang arrived late, he bared his teeth at Xu Yang, as if to declare his victory. Xu Yang spread his hands helplessly and said, "The monkey king is really brave, and I am convinced of my defeat."

The monkey leader won the first match easily.

After returning to the starting point, Xu Yang carefully described the situation of the route to Zhu Liuqing and Pan Tao.

Zhu Liuqing seemed to have a plan in mind after hearing it, and took out a pair of small red brocade boots from the storage bag and put them on her feet.

"My father gave me this wind boot. Wearing it can increase my speed by more than 30%. It only takes a little more mana. Leave the second round to me." After saying that, he smiled confidently.

"Just be careful, Junior Sister Zhu. It doesn't matter if you lose."

"Brother Xu, don't worry. I'll take care of it." Zhu Liuqing raised her eyebrows, full of confidence.

In the second game, the bone-faced monkey sent a strong male monkey with a strand of silver hair on the top of its head. After the silver-haired monkey came out, he patted his strong chest with his fist, looking very domineering.

The second game.

Zhu Liuqing pinched his fingers with one hand, and his mana condensed on the wind boots on the soles of his feet. The boots faintly emitted circles of light red light.

The race began, and both sides spared no effort. The silver-haired monkey was amazingly fast, and he easily crossed a forest with his long arms stretched out. Zhu Liuqing activated the wind boots, and his figure shuttled between trees and rocks like a flying saucer into a flower, and his speed was not worse than that of the silver-haired monkey.

A man and a monkey, running side by side, arrived at the target rock not far away at the same time. At this time, the silver-haired monkey let out a loud roar, and a bunch of silver hair on its head stood up. A huge spiritual pressure burst out from its body, and its speed suddenly increased significantly. It suddenly jumped out and was more than ten feet ahead of Zhu Liuqing, and it was about to reach the target boulder first.

Seeing this, Zhu Liuqing used the family secret technique, injected magic power into the wind boots under his feet, and tapped a protruding boulder with his toes. With the help of the rebound force, the whole person flew out like a swallow carrying mud, and caught up with the silver-haired monkey in the blink of an eye, and arrived at the target boulder one breath ahead of the silver-haired monkey. Zhu Liuqing won this round by a narrow margin.

"Thank you." Zhu Liuqing said to the silver-haired monkey with a fist.

The silver-haired monkey made a low humming sound, as if unwilling, and returned to the forest with a dejected look.

Seeing that his most proud subordinate had lost the game, the monkey head, who was originally very proud, bared his teeth and roared at the silver-haired monkey.

The two sides were temporarily tied at 1:1 in the first two games, and the most crucial third game began. The bone-faced monkey sent out a one-eyed monkey. This monkey was as tall as a seven or eight-year-old child, with a scar clearly visible on his left eye, and he looked like a tough guy.

Xu Yang's side naturally sent out "Pantao". Compared with the tall and domineering one-eyed monkey, the furry and petite "Pantao" seemed to be outnumbered.

"Squeak-squeak"

"Woo-woo"

"Pantao" and the one-eyed monkey were talking about something. When the command was issued, the weasel and the monkey jumped out like arrows.

Since "Pantao" swallowed the eggs of the Hades Bone King Cobra, his realm has greatly increased, and his speed is three points faster than before.

This one-eyed monkey is indeed the third strongest among the bone-faced monkeys. It is agile and has strong explosive power. It can jump several feet away in a few jumps.

According to the route provided by Xu Yang, "Peaches" shuttled freely in the forest like a koi entering the water, and the impact of terrain obstacles was reduced to a minimum.

The fight between the weasel and the monkey was inextricable. Twenty feet, fifteen feet, ten feet, getting closer and closer to the target boulder.

At this moment, the one-eyed monkey took out a blue flame fruit from somewhere, bit it and swallowed it. Abundant spiritual power was instantly injected into the one-eyed monkey's body. The one-eyed monkey exuded a faint green spiritual light all over his body. His agile body drew a green rainbow in the air and flew straight to the target boulder.

In a flash of lightning, "Peaches" naturally did not hold back. The two black gemstone-like little eyes were wide open, and circles of green arcs "crackled" around his body. The powerful pressure burst out from his body and swept out a gust of wind. From a distance, the "Peaches" looked like a bolt of blue lightning streaking through the air.

The next moment, the "Peaches" appeared at the target boulder, a full two feet ahead of the one-eyed monkey.

"Pantao, well done!" Seeing that Pantao reached the target first, Zhu Liuqing shouted excitedly. Xu Yang waved his clenched fist in the air, his excitement was beyond words.

The monkey leader, who thought he would win, looked dazed, and couldn't believe that he lost the speed competition that his team was best at.

Monkeys are monkeys after all, and they haven't seen the story of Tian Ji's horse racing.

Three rounds and two wins. Xu Yang's team won the final victory.

According to the agreement of the game, the bone-faced monkey team took out 20 Qingyan fruits as a bet and gave them to Xu Yang's team, and allowed Xu Yang and his team to pass through the Qingyan Fruit Forest.

Xu Yang and his team collected the Qingyan fruits, and Zhu Liuqing took out two and gave them to "Pantao" as a reward. The two said goodbye to the bone-faced monkey group and passed through the Qingyan Fruit Forest.

...

After leaving the Qingyan Fruit Forest, a huge canyon appeared in front of them. The towering peaks on both sides guarded the entrance to the canyon like two giants. The canyon was full of strange rocks, and occasionally there was a strong wind blowing through, making a hissing sound.

Lin Zhu Liuqing unfolded the map, pointed with his finger, and said: "Only after passing through this canyon can we truly enter the outer hinterland of the Ghost Howling Land, and we are not far from the next target in our plan."

"The terrain of this canyon is steep, and it is not easy to avoid risks. Is there no other passage to enter the outer hinterland of the Ghost Howling Land except this canyon?"

"Not really, it's just that this canyon is the nearest way. After all, this is only the outer hinterland of the Ghost Howling Land, and there shouldn't be too powerful spirit beasts. And other routes are not very flat."

The two entered the nameless canyon.

The gusts of wind in the valley made the clothes of the two people rustle.

Because the terrain in the canyon was bumpy and uneven, it took half an incense stick for the two to walk a short distance.

"Ah----"

At this moment, a thunderous tiger roar shook the entire canyon.

The next moment, a huge flame tiger appeared on the road ahead of the two. The huge spiritual pressure threw the scattered stones under the feet of the flame tiger to all directions.

"Zhu Junior Sister, be careful. The spiritual pressure of this flame tiger is very similar to the one that fought with the bone-faced monkey before. I'm afraid it's the same one." As she spoke, she had already grasped the fire cone in her hand.

Zhu Liuqing raised her jade hand, and a silver scimitar appeared in her palm.

"It's really the same one before. I can vaguely see the wound on the neck." Zhu Liuqing said.

"It's really a roadblock." Xu Yang said with a bitter smile.

"Can you and I win against this flame tiger together?" Zhu Liuqing said in a low voice.

"The spiritual pressure released by this flame tiger is equivalent to that of a cultivator in the first level of the Void Realm. If it is not injured, we are probably only 50% sure of winning. Now, we should be 70% sure."

The two were about to take action, and at this moment, there was another shocking tiger roar.

Behind the rock on the other side of the flame tiger, another flame tiger slightly smaller than this flame tiger flashed out. The two tigers formed a horn and blocked in front of Xu Yang and the others.

"Two tigers! The other one actually has a spiritual pressure equivalent to that of the Void Realm." Xu Yang said in surprise.

"The terrain here is favorable for the Flame Tiger, but not for you and me to dodge. In the current situation, if we force it, you and I will probably suffer, so it's better not to act rashly." Zhu Liuqing said anxiously.

What is puzzling is that the two tigers on the opposite side did not rush to attack the two, and the two did not dare to act rashly, and the two sides were strangely deadlocked.

The dangerous canyon, the two people holding weapons, and the two tigers occupying the terrain, the picture seems to be still.

"Squeak-squeak", the "Peach" squatting on Xu Yang's shoulder made a harsh cry, breaking the frozen picture.

Hearing the message sent by the peach, Xu Yang nodded slightly.

Xu Yang turned his head and said to Zhu Liuqing beside him: "Junior Sister Zhu, the new tiger on the opposite side is a tigress. Judging from its full breasts, it seems to be in the lactation period. These two tigers did not act rashly because they were worried that their cubs would be threatened."

When Zhu Liuqing heard Xu Yang talking about the tigress's full breasts, her pretty face blushed.

Xu Yang felt that his words just now were inappropriate and smiled awkwardly.

Then he muttered a few words to Pan Tao.

"Pan Tao" jumped off Xu Yang's shoulder and came all the way to the front of the flame tiger. The flame tiger seemed to have no hostility towards this little weasel. The two sides exchanged "squeak-squeak" and "ao-ao".

Not long after, "Pan Tao" returned to Xu Yang. Reported the information just now to Xu Yang one by one.

"I see." Xu Yang smiled after hearing it.

"Junior Sister Zhu, we only need to pay a few Qingyan fruits to pass through here."

"Oh, really?"

"All the little spirit beasts born in the Ghost Howl Land are not very adaptable to the large amount of evil spirits in the void of the Ghost Howl Land. They need to eat some spirit fruits or spirit herbs that can reduce the harm of the evil spirits in the void of the Ghost Howl Land, and they will adapt when they grow up. Qingyan fruit is one of these spirit fruits. This female tiger has just given birth to a cub, so she needs Qingyan fruit."

"That's great."

...

An hour later, Xu Yang and the others had safely passed through the nameless canyon and came to the outer hinterland of the Ghost Howl Land.

At this time, Xu Yang had an extra flame tiger skin in his hand. After Xu Yang and the others gave some Qingyan fruits to the flame tiger, the flame tiger gave Xu Yang a flame tiger skin in exchange. It is unknown whether it was a relic of the tiger's ancestors or a trophy of defeating other tigers.

The flame tiger skin can accelerate the gathering of fire attribute spiritual power. It can be made into a cushion for practicing martial arts, which is a good auxiliary tool for practicing fire attribute martial arts. Xu Yang happened to be practicing fire attribute martial arts. Calculating that the two of them still have seven or eight Qingyan fruits left, this flame tiger skin is also a big gain for Xu Yang.
