Chapter 620: Thousands of Miles of Red Land
With Ye Piaoling appearing, Xiao Mian was not worried about Gui Hai.
Gui Hai seemed to be careless and even reckless at times, but only Xiao Mian, who had had deep contact with Gui Hai, knew what it meant to be rough but meticulous.
Although Gui Hai seemed to be crazy just now, he realized that Xiao Mian was not seriously injured after he landed. After that, Xiao Mian flashed into the courtyard, which made Gui Hai feel relieved. Just like Xiao Mian understood him, Gui Hai also understood Xiao Mian.
Xiao Mian was not a person who was not afraid of death!
Besides, it had been some time since the old man Tan blew up his golden elixir. Not to mention the power of the old man Tan's self-detonation of the golden elixir, the true essence fluctuations that broke out between Xiao Mian and the other two were enough to attract many interested people in Xianyang City, so that the situation would not be corrupted.
After all, Qi Jingyuan and others were cultivators of the third realm, and they had no strong support in Xianyang City.
Big things became small, small things became nothing, and the matter was finally left unresolved.
Of course, before that, Xiao Mian had to do his best to find the Huo brothers and sisters.
Passing by the escape exit, Xiao Mian casually wiped away the black cloth he had released before. At the moment when Xiao Mian's figure disappeared in the passage, Xiao Mian was so cruel that he ordered the black cloth to completely crush the space array of the escape passage and make it invalid.
In this way, if this teleportation array is a short-distance teleportation array, it would be fine. If the teleportation distance is very long, then whether Xiao Mian can return to Xianyang City is another matter.
After entering the teleportation array, with the guidance of the black cloth, Xiao Mian naturally has no worries.
However, Du Yuan, who entered the teleportation array first, looked quite unfriendly.
Because he was ambushed by Xiao Mian and his arm was cut off, Du Yuan was in a bad mood. For a Jindan top-level cultivator like him, even if his arm was cut off, as long as it was handled in time, it would not affect his own combat power, but that would take a process! For example, Niu Shi, whose arm was cut off by Qi Jingyuan before, has missed the trip to Zulongju next year.
In other words, Du Yuan has also been eliminated in advance!
That's not all. Du Yuan, who was born in the Yanji Sect of Jizhou Realm, really looked down on the so-called first secret realm of Qin County. What really worried Du Yuan was the great heavenly tribulation.
As long as an elite cultivator like Du Yuan did not die in the middle of the journey, he could almost successfully survive the great heavenly tribulation and achieve the Nascent Soul Patriarch. Although the injury of the broken arm today would not have any impact on Du Yuan in normal times, when the great heavenly tribulation comes tomorrow, the heavenly tribulation will reshape the cultivator's body to a certain extent, and the injury of the broken arm will affect the degree of reconstruction.
Fortunately, Du Yuan is also an outstanding disciple of the Yanji Sect. He knows that the most important thing today is to find the two children and then find the secret treasure of the Nine-Fingered Thief.
Besides, with the combined efforts of Qi Jingyuan and Zhong Liyin, Du Yuan does not believe that Xiao Wuming still has a chance to survive-even if he is really a cultivator from Tiandu City!
Therefore, Du Yuan, who walked out of the teleportation array, began to look for the whereabouts of the Huo brothers and sisters.
However, Xiao Mian intervened, and the black cloth had partially modified the entrance and exit of the teleportation array, so that although Du Yuan and the Huo brothers and sisters entered the teleportation array one after another, the exit of the teleportation array was quite different, so that they lost the two.
Suddenly flying into the sky, Du Yuan looked around and saw that the teleportation array led directly to the outside of Xianyang City. On the flat wasteland, where was the trace of the Huo brothers and sisters?
With a dark hum, Du Yuan took out a fiery red gourd from his arms.
Pulling open the gourd cover, Du Yuan held the gourd high, and the next moment, the fiery red gourd spewed blazing flames into the sky, and the flames continued to differentiate and turned into tens of millions of fire crows.
The Ten Thousand Crows Gourd, a mid-level fire attribute magic weapon, is Du Yuan's favorite.
With a wave of his hand, thousands of fire crows scattered and disappeared.
Du Yuan, sitting cross-legged in the void, closed his eyes and concentrated.
But soon, Du Yuan, who was originally confident, changed his face-within a hundred miles, there was no trace of the pair of children!
Before the battle with Old Man Tan, Du Yuan had secretly observed the two children. The girl had just started practicing, and the boy was only at the Qi training stage.
How could these two little kids escape a hundred miles in a moment?
Could it be because of the exit of the teleportation array?
With this in mind, Du Yuan still expanded the search range of the Fire Crow.
But until he expanded the search range to a thousand miles, he still couldn't find the trace of the Huo brothers and sisters, which made Du Yuan realize that things might be a little bad.
Looking at the distant Xianyang City, Du Yuan's heart moved.
No!
Even if there is some deviation in the entrance and exit of the teleportation array, this teleportation array itself is a short-distance teleportation array, and the deviation range should never exceed a thousand miles!
Could it be...
With a thought in his mind, Du Yuan took out another piece of talisman paper from his arms.
The talisman paper was as red as blood, with flowing flames and elegant fire. It was obviously a fire attribute talisman with excellent appearance and great power!
The seventh-level talisman—the Thousand Miles of Red Earth Talisman!
Du Yuan gritted his teeth and was reluctant to use this talisman.
But Du Yuan was also a decisive person. He took a deep breath and activated this Thousand Miles of Red Earth Talisman.
In an instant, a ray of fire was injected into the Thousand Miles of Red Earth Talisman, and the whole talisman was lit up. Then the fiery red color of the talisman gradually faded, and finally turned into pale paper ash.
Correspondingly, with Du Yuan as the center, waves of huge flames spread out continuously, like a raging fire, surging in all directions...
The Thousand Miles of Red Earth Talisman—Thousand Miles of Red Earth!
It turned out that Du Yuan suspected that the Huo brothers and sisters did not escape, but hid near the exit of the teleportation array. However, because he could not accurately lock the exit of the teleportation array, Du Yuan actually activated the Red Land Thousand Mile Talisman.
Under the Red Land Thousand Mile Talisman, a thousand miles of red land, not a blade of grass left!
Soon, Du Yuan discovered something unusual.
Just ten miles away from Du Yuan, the flames passed by, and the originally flat ground suddenly fluctuated, shaped like a bubble, constantly expanding and contracting.
With a flash, Du Yuan came to the mutation site.
Seeing the constantly expanding and contracting bubble, and the two children struggling to support under the bubble, Du Yuan smiled sinisterly...
The seventh-level talisman must be returned from you two little bastards!
With a wave of his hand, all the flames within a hundred feet of the bubble were extinguished. At the same time, thousands of fire crows returned, and Du Yuan landed lightly beside the bubble.
Without even looking at the pale brother and sister in the bubble, Du Yuan pointed out.
As soon as he pointed, the bubble shattered, revealing the Huo family brothers and sisters.
"Be sensible and hand over the secret treasure of old man Tan!" As he spoke, Du Yuan pointed at Huo Feng'er who was hiding behind Huo Long'er, and a fire crow flew from Du Yuan's fingertips and turned into a flame cage to trap Huo Feng'er in it. Seeing that Huo Long'er's face was pale, but he didn't cry or make a fuss, Du Yuan smiled slightly: "I'll count to three. If you still don't want to hand over what I want, I will burn your sister to death first!"
Du Yuan had to cut the Gordian knot quickly. This place was not far from Xianyang City. In order to force the Huo family brothers and sisters out, Du Yuan even used the Red Land Thousand Miles Talisman.
Over time, it is inevitable that someone will come to the door.
By then, it will be eleven fingers - complications!
"If I hand over the old man's secret collection, will you let my brother and sister go?" Without waiting for Du Yuan to respond, Huo Long'er shouted: "I want you to swear a heart demon blood oath!"
"Heart demon blood oath? You kid, you don't know what's good for you..."
"If you don't agree, let's break up!"
"...Okay! As long as you are willing to hand over the old man Tan's secret collection to me, I, Du Yuan, will swear a heart demon blood oath: I will never embarrass you and your sister! How about it?"
"..."
Seeing Du Yuan swearing a heart demon blood oath so happily, Huo Long'er knew it was not right, but he knew that he was no longer qualified to negotiate with Du Yuan.
In desperation, Huo Long'er pulled out a necklace from his neck.
At the top of the necklace was a star-shaped pendant...
Without even looking at the pendant, Huo Long'er tore it off with his backhand and threw it to Du Yuan. After Du Yuan caught it, he used his mind to explore and found that it was a storage magic weapon.
Where did the storage magic weapon come from on a small Qi training period cultivator?
I think this star-moon pendant is the secret treasure of the Nine-fingered Thief...
Thinking about this, Du Yuan smiled lightly and snapped his fingers.
The next moment, a fire crow appeared out of thin air.
"This is my spiritual beast - the sixth-level fire bird Red Flame Crow. It's not that I want to kill you and your sister, but it's because my Red Flame Crow is hungry and wants to find some blood food!"
"The net of heaven is vast and nothing can escape it!"
"Hmph! We cultivators go against the will of heaven, so why should we be afraid of that mere inner demon?"
Having said this, Du Yuan no longer wanted to talk to Huo Long'er, and wanted to let the Red Flame Crow devour the Huo family brothers and sisters with a casual wave of his hand, so that he could retire after success.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a black shadow passed quietly.
When the black shadow overlapped with Du Yuan's figure, Du Yuan shuddered for no reason, and his sixth-level fire bird Red Flame Crow kept quacking.
Du Yuan knew something was wrong and wanted to dodge, but suddenly felt a strong attraction coming from the ground. As his true essence swelled, Du Yuan's body was burning with raging fire, and then the fire rushed down and bounced Du Yuan's body into the sky.
Turning into a fiery meteor, Du Yuan disappeared on the spot.
As for the red flame crow, it didn't care about killing Huo Long'er, and hovered over Du Yuan's head, with a pair of blood-like pupils spinning around, guarding the surroundings.
However, Du Yuan carefully investigated and found nothing wrong.
But at this time, Du Yuan looked down and saw that after he flew high into the sky, there was still a black shadow of about a foot on the ground...
As Du Yuan watched more and more vigilantly, the black shadow gradually squirmed, and then it actually arched up from the ground, like a ball of black water, twisting and turning.
In a moment, the black shadow solidified into a human shape.
Looking up at Du Yuan, who looked ugly, Xiao Mian's face was not very good either.
Unexpectedly, despite his deliberate ambush, he was unable to ambush and kill the Yanji Sect disciple. This was somewhat beyond Xiao Mian's expectations. After all, Xiao Mian was not at his peak at the moment. If he could save a little more energy to kill Du Yuan by a sneak attack, who would be willing to fight to the death?
Now it seems that there is still work to do...
