Chapter 46: Wind Canyon
Chapter 46: Wind Canyon
"Yesterday's extended version"
……
Walk through the sparse woods and through the low bushes.
What comes into view is a scenery similar to a desert Gobi.
But Mo Yingge knew that this was definitely not the northwestern desert. Where in the central region of China was there a Gobi Desert?
"Is this the 'Wind Gorge'?"
Mo Yingge stood on the "Gobi Desert" and looked at the bare mountains in front of him.
Gray-black rocks constitute the main body of the mountain, with many huge rocks scattered around. Occasionally, there are a few sturdy wind spirit grasses standing proudly on the surface, bringing a different color to this desolate land.
Without hesitation, Mo Yingge stepped into the canyon.
It is called a canyon, but in fact it is a huge open space between two parallel mountain ranges. It is just called a "canyon" but it is not a narrow area.
The north-south transparent corridor allows the wind to flow in directly and become increasingly intense, forming a world-famous Wind Canyon here!
However, this is only the smallest Wind Canyon. On the other side of Lushan Mountain, close to Poyang Lake, there is an even larger Wind Canyon. It is rumored that soul seeds once appeared there!
It is a natural treasure that is more precious and more powerful than spiritual seeds, and can greatly increase the combat power of a magician.
That is the best place that mages can reach. It is considered a medium-level spiritual place. There are even more terrifying existences above it.
For example, at Alashankou, the most terrifying place in the northwest frontier, it is said that a monarch demon once passed by there but was overturned and became a laughing stock.
There is also the legendary pure land on earth - the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, which is a forbidden area that humans cannot reach.
Having said that, although the Luofeng Mountain Canyon in front of us is far from comparable to those others, it is at least right in front of us, and the degree of danger cannot be compared.
The most common monsters here are general-level monsters, and commander-level monsters are almost invisible; other more famous monsters are nothing.
The scenery changed, and where the strong wind stopped, everything seemed a bit desolate.
"The original mission this time was to drive away the demons that were invading the Wind Gorge, but now the black-feathered crows have inexplicably moved out en masse, causing the mission to become several times more difficult in an instant!"
Mo Yingge silently recalled the situation of this mission. A large group of flying monsters were far more dangerous than ordinary monsters, and it was not ruled out that there were even more dangerous ones.
This is a spiritual land, and humans need to mine the magic stones hidden here. It is the cornerstone of modern magic civilization and it is absolutely impossible to give up. Similarly, demons also favor these rich energy sources, and even their breakthrough in strength cannot be separated from these magic stones.
Therefore, the struggle between humans and demons has been inevitable from the beginning and in fact has never stopped.
It's all for strength and survival, no one will back down!
"Although the Wind Gorge looks desolate, it is actually home to many demons, most of which possess wind-related demonic powers."
Mo Yingge recalled the intelligence he had gathered before. The most famous tribe in the Wind Canyon is the Wind Wolf. Some of these creatures can even make contracts with summoning magicians. Some people have captured wind wolves and trained them to be beasts, and the effect is quite good. They are very receptive to human training, and when they reach adulthood, they generally possess strength close to that of a general. They are widely praised in the market and are in short supply.
Then, under the trend of huge profits, the wind wolf tribe here was captured and almost declared extinct more than ten years ago. Even if there are some remaining wild wolves, they have a very deep hatred for humans and will fight to the death once they meet!
In addition to the wind wolves, there is also a rare wind snake here. It is a small green snake with a pair of wings. It is said that they are extremely small in size and are completely unlike other monsters. The stronger they are, the larger their size. On the contrary, the stronger they are, the smaller their size!
It is said that the servant-level wind snake is less than two or three meters long, and the general-level wind snake is barely one meter long. If you see a wind snake that is less than one meter long, congratulations, you will either become rich immediately or ascend to heaven.
This kind of monster is quite rare. They are commonly found in wind-related spiritual places. It seems that only there can they be attracted. Moreover, they are very powerful. Not only are they as fast as the wind and incredibly flexible, but they are also extremely poisonous. Anyone who touches them will die!
However, few people brought out the wind snake's body, and most people ended up in the snake's stomach.
Then there is the black-feathered crows for this mission. They originally lived on the distant Tiandu Mountain and did not have many disputes with humans. I don't know why they came all the way here recently to snatch the mined magic stone ore.
According to Mr. Peng's guess, the black-feathered crows' condition either means they have a brain disease or something major has happened to their population.
Of course they couldn't be crazy. After all, every time they caused damage to human wizards, they would also suffer heavy losses. So what would it matter even if they got some magic stones?
The most likely scenario is that the black-feathered crows are in urgent need of magic stones!
So under what circumstances would a large amount of magic stones be urgently needed?
It's simple, breakthrough!!
When demons break through, they need magic stones to provide energy. So, it is very likely that there is a creature in the black-feathered crow population that is about to break through to a higher level.
The black-feathered crows live in groups led by generals and their servants. The one who can drive a large number of tribes, or even general-level black-feathered crows, can only be a great demon who is close to being a commander. This kind of existence is generally called an "advanced" demon. If one steps half a foot into a higher class, he can be called a "sub-commander"!
The advanced-stage generals are enough to look down on ordinary general-level monsters, and the sub-commanders are even more powerful than the advanced-stage monsters. They have undergone a fundamental transformation. As for the real commander-level monsters, let's just say that ordinary small cities are not enough for them to kill. The commander-level monsters are enough to massacre cities. As long as they appear near the city, the alarm will be sounded, causing a great reaction from human magicians.
Of course, Anfeng City is an important place for the production of magic stones, and a troop of magic guards is directly stationed there. The Magic Association and the Hunter Alliance are also very powerful here, and they are not really afraid of ordinary commanders.
However, this is still a hidden danger, so after the expulsion mission, there is also a "hidden mission", which is to find out the reason behind the abnormal attack of the Black-Feathered Crow on the Magic Stone Mine. To be simpler and more direct, it is to go to Tiandu Mountain and go deep into the Black-Feathered Crow's nest to investigate the truth!
However, before leaving, Grandpa Peng warned Mo Yingge not to seek death. Tiandu Mountain is the highest point of the Anfeng Mountains. It is a real primeval forest where human footprints are rare. There are not only black-feathered crows but also monsters. The danger level is far higher than the developed Wind Canyon.
In fact, the Wind Canyon developed by humans is only a part of the huge Anfeng Mountains. It was only because of the magic stone mines that it gradually attracted groups of magicians to come "pan for gold" and developed an unknown small town.
A convoy of dark green military trucks slowly drove out of the canyon. They took another road. Mo Yingge saw from afar that a large piece of the cloak on the trucks was torn off, and it was obvious that they had been attacked again.
Who else could it be other than Black Feather Crow? !
Mo Yingge's eyes narrowed. This Black-Feathered Crow was really daring. After several days of continuous attacks, the humans had already reacted. The military's magicians had already sent additional personnel. Even the large trucks were filled with magicians. She saw that there were five people squeezed on one truck, which showed how much the military valued the Black-Feathered Crow.
Mo Yingge quietly quickened her pace. Going deep into Tiandu Mountain to explore was obviously not her primary goal. If anyone was going to go, it would be the professional reconnaissance mages from the military. Although she was also a wind mage and had received some professional training from Zhankong, she was still far inferior to the real professionals.
Asking her to fight is more like asking her to fight.
To be honest, if she hadn't been assigned here by Dean Qiu, she wouldn't have come.
Wouldn’t it be nice to practice it peacefully in academia?
Must fight to the death ╮(︶﹏︶)╭
Put away your wandering thoughts and don't let your guard down in the wild where dangers abound.
After walking for half a day, the midday sun was shining brightly. In the last moments, it still looked back reluctantly, as if it wanted to radiate all its light and heat to the world.
Mo Yingge moved forward along the shady cliff. This was not a place with strong winds, but the wind speed was already level four or five. Fortunately, the fine sand had been blown away long ago, so the road was visible.
Although there was wind, Mo Yingge did not feel comfortable at all, because all the wind was hot air, just like a huge hair dryer blowing hard at you, that feeling was so comfortable!
Mo Yingge felt that her hair was almost burnt yellow, which made her feel very sad.
()
"Hey, I haven't even seen a single demon yet, and my hair is almost singed!"
Mo Yingge sighed.
As a result, I saw a scarlet one-eyed creature in a crevice of the cliff.
“Squeak~Squeak~~”
When the giant-eyed fishy rat saw Mo Yingge, it couldn't help but shrink back. Facing the hot weather at noon, it didn't want to go out, but it was really hungry. The pain in its stomach wall instinctively overcame the wisdom of its brain, making it crawl out of the ground in the scorching heat.
Looking back now, this was undoubtedly an extremely stupid move.
Without thinking, Mo Yingge saw the demon light up the star track directly, and the bright flame burst out from the white and delicate fist, burning a section of the cliff red. The giant-eyed rat was terrified and wanted to retreat, but it was too late.
In the narrow crevice of the cliff, the giant-eyed rat had nowhere to escape and was burned to death by the exploding flames. Finally, it no longer had to endure the pain of hunger.
"Huh, there are giant-eyed fishy rats in this place. This thing really can be found everywhere." Mo Yingge wiped the sweat from her forehead and said with some emotion. Of course, she did not hold back at all when she attacked.
As the level of cultivation increases, the power of magic also increases. At the initial stage, it takes several fire bursts to kill the giant-eyed fishy rat, but now it can be killed almost instantly with just one fire burst!
This is the display of her strength!!!
