Chapter 99 Giant Bee
Chapter 99 Giant Bee
After Chen Yuan left, the only sound left on the banks of the Chisha River was the whistling wind. The turbid red water flowed quietly into the distance. Occasionally, a ferocious figure swam quietly in the river.
Half an hour later, a figure came running from the south. It was He Xin who had been following Chen Yuan's trail.
Under the guidance of the spirit fox, he knew Chen Yuan's whereabouts clearly.
But before entering the Red Plain, he went to several places with dense spiritual medicines recorded in the Lingyun Sect's map and collected some hundred-year-old spiritual herbs, which delayed him for some time, so he only caught up now.
He entered the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain mainly to collect spiritual herbs in exchange for foundation-building pills. Killing Chen Yuan was just a matter of convenience, and he would never confuse the priorities.
He Xin came to the river, took out two magical instruments, drove the flying boat, and flew across the Chisha River.
When the flying boat came to the surface of the river, a ferocious python head poked out from the river, staring at the congratulatory letter in the air, and continuously spitting out scarlet snake tongue.
He Xin was alert and extremely cautious, but the giant python just watched coldly and did not attack He Xin.
It was not until the flying boat flew over the Chisha River and landed on the opposite bank that the python's head slowly retracted into the river and the river surface returned to calm.
He Xin's guard was slightly reduced and he put the magic weapon away again.
There are many monsters in the Chisha River, but as long as you don't provoke them, they will generally not actively attack cultivators.
After crossing the river, the fox spirit's pink nose kept twitching, guiding He Xin to the place where Chen Yuan was fighting with the crab monster and the disciples of Guiyuan Sect.
He Xin looked down at the two pieces of gravel that had been burned black, as well as the few remaining crab monster shells, and laughed happily:
"God help me too!"
Chen Yuan actually provoked the monster in the Chisha River. After a fight, his magic power must have been greatly depleted, so he must stop to recover his magic power.
He Xin stroked the fox's fur twice and said with a smile:
"Where has this person gone? Point it out quickly!"
The fox was very intelligent and could understand human speech. It immediately raised its left front paw and pointed to the north-east direction.
He Xin stepped forward, used the skill of light body, and chased after him quickly.
……
In a mountain valley, there is a gurgling stream and lush flowers and trees.
Suddenly, a figure emerged from the water and walked towards the shore step by step. It was Chen Yuan.
The standard robes of the Lingyun Sect have the effect of warding off water, fire, wind and sand. Although he walked out of the water, his body was still dry without a single water stain.
He fought two consecutive battles with the crab monster and the disciples of Guiyuan Sect, and consumed most of his magic power. Although he had the strength to fight again, the secret realm was full of dangers. If he encountered a few more monsters and disciples of his sect, his situation would be worrying.
So he left the Red Plain without stopping, found a valley, hid in a stream, and took a soul-restoring pill. In less than half a quarter of an hour, all the magic power in his body was restored.
Although doing so would waste some of the medicinal power of the Rejuvenating Pill, it would save a lot of time.
Chen Yuan came to the shore, took out the storage bag of the Guiyuan Sect disciple, probed his spiritual sense into it, took out eight hundred-year-old spiritual herbs and seven or eight talismans, and put them into his own storage bag.
This person should have the same idea as Chen Yuan, wanting to avoid the disciples of various sects and deliberately walking through the red plains where spiritual energy was exhausted, with little gain.
The jade ruler and jade bowl are two magical instruments, one is a top-grade magical instrument and the other is a top-grade magical instrument. Chen Yuan has no time to refine them, so they can only be left for later, but these talismans can come in handy.
After hastily sorting out the spoils, Chen Yuan looked up at the sun, identified the direction, and headed east.
Although the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain was sealed by ancient immortal cultivators with great magical powers, it could not conceal the evolution of celestial phenomena; the sun, moon, and stars can all be seen.
This place is called Lianli Mountain. In ancient times, it was a place where monsters were raised. After thousands of years, it has restored its original appearance with undulating hills and dense forests.
In this area, there are several places where three hundred year old spiritual herbs grow, and there are many monsters.
Chen Yuan avoided these places and followed a crooked route, spreading his spiritual sense, slowing down his pace and moving forward carefully.
That is to say, only with the strange map in hand and by comparing it with the map of Lingyun Sect, was he able to find such a route.
However, even though he was extremely careful, there were many monsters in this place, and he still encountered several level one monsters along the way.
When these monsters saw Chen Yuan, they immediately went crazy and pounced on him, but he quickly killed them with thundering means.
The spiritual energy in the outer ring of the Dongxu Mountain Secret Realm is not strong enough, and there are no second-level monsters. As long as these first-level monsters do not live in groups, they cannot last more than a few rounds against Chen Yuan.
A day later, Chen Yuan finally walked out of Lianli Mountain. There were some more monster materials in his storage bag, as well as a few hundred-year-old spiritual herbs he picked up.
While he was on the road, he saw his disciples fighting monsters several times, but he ignored them and just left quietly.
His spiritual awareness was amazing and covered a wide range. He could see others but others could not see him, thus he was able to avoid many unnecessary fights.
After walking out of Lianli Mountain, there is a dark mountain five hundred feet high. The mountain is covered with a kind of strange ancient tree with gray-black leaves.
On both sides of the mountain, there are cliffs thousands of feet high and thousands of feet wide, filled with strange yellow miasma.
According to the records on the map of Lingyun Sect, this mountain is called Heimu Mountain, and it is the only way to continue moving forward after passing Lianli Mountain.
The miasma that permeates the cliffs on both sides is extremely poisonous. If a Qi-refining cultivator inhales it, he will die instantly from the poison. It is a dead end.
There is a kind of giant black bee as big as a fist on the Black Wood Mountain. Although it is only a lower-level monster, it swarms in tens of thousands and is extremely poisonous. Only a few hundred of them can sting a cultivator of the tenth level of Qi Refining to death.
Fortunately, the giant black bees feed on the nectar that flows from the strange ancient trees and will not actively provoke the monks. As long as you do not actively provoke the bee colony, you can pass through the mountain safely.
But other disciples can do so, but Chen Yuan cannot.
The black giant bee is also a monster. After seeing him, it will most likely go crazy.
When the time comes, Chen Yuan will be besieged by tens of thousands of black giant bees, and he will definitely die.
However, since he dared to choose this path, he was naturally not unprepared.
Chen Yuan came to the edge of the cliff, stopped outside the yellow miasma, and spread out his spiritual sense to explore under the cliff.
The miasma had no harm to something as intangible as spiritual consciousness. Chen Yuan's spiritual consciousness extended forty feet below the cliff and he saw several spiritual herbs where the miasma turned dark yellow.
This magical herb is pitch black in color, with serrated leaves and a black flower on the top that looks like a human face, which looks very strange.
Chen Yuan was delighted. He touched his storage bag, took out the Qingyun Sword and threw it into the miasma.
As soon as the Qingyun Sword entered the miasma, the spiritual light around it immediately dimmed.
The surrounding miasma flowed slowly, corroding the blade of the Qingyun Sword.
Chen Yuan's face turned slightly pale, and he made some hand gestures, controlling the Qingyun Sword to fly down the cliff.
The Qingyun Sword flew down for forty feet, its light became dimmer, rust began to appear on the sword body, and Chen Yuan's face became paler.
But he continued to inject magic power into the Qingyun Sword, controlling the sword, and very carefully cut off the three black spiritual herbs growing on the cliff, and flew back.
When the Qingyun Sword flew out of the yellow miasma, the sword was already covered with rust.
Chen Yuan caught the three black spiritual herbs, and the Qingyun Sword suddenly trembled, the spiritual light completely dissipated, and broke into several pieces.
Chen Yuan sighed lightly and put the broken Qingyun Sword into his storage bag.
Then he looked at the three strange black spiritual herbs, hesitated for a moment, picked up one, put it in his mouth, chewed it twice, and swallowed it.
As the spiritual herbs entered his stomach, a chilling feeling arose, causing Chen Yuan to shiver.
But after a while, this feeling of coldness turned into a cool feeling, which was very comfortable. Chen Yuan was determined in his heart, and he didn't dare to delay any more. He stepped forward and headed straight for Black Wood Mountain.
According to the records on the strange map, as long as the monks take this black spiritual herb, the giant bees will recognize them as their own kind and will never attack them.
However, this spiritual herb grows in a deep yellow miasma, forty feet below the cliff, and is beyond the reach of the spiritual consciousness of Qi-refining cultivators. Therefore, it has not been discovered by disciples of various sects for tens of thousands of years.
However, Chen Yuan would not blindly believe what the map said. When he entered the Black Wood Mountain, he took out the Dingguang Realm and the Chixiao Sword and was extremely vigilant.
If the black spiritual herb is unable to suppress the giant bee's madness, he will immediately return the same way and never take any risks.
……
There was silence in Blackwood Mountain. Apart from the rustling of leaves in the breeze, there was no other sound.
Chen Yuan walked into the mountains for a quarter of an hour and did not encounter a single living creature.
This is the territory of the black giant bee, and no other living creatures survive here.
Suddenly, a buzzing sound came into Chen Yuan's ears. His heart tightened, and he slowed down and followed the sound.
I saw a giant black bee flying from a distance, lying on a strange ancient tree, sucking nectar.
This bee is the size of a fist and looks no different from an ordinary bee, but its stinger is exceptionally thick and ferocious.
Chen Yuan spread out his spiritual sense and found that there was only this giant bee within a radius of fifty feet. He felt relieved and moved closer.
He walked all the way to the black giant bee. The giant bee stopped sucking nectar and turned to look at Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan immediately raised his hand and made a gesture. The tip of the Chixiao Sword trembled slightly, and he was eager to try.
But the giant bee just glanced at Chen Yuan with its compound eyes, then turned around and continued to suck nectar. It also flapped its transparent wings towards Chen Yuan twice, as if saying hello.
Chen Yuan felt relieved and walked straight to the ancient tree, only one foot away from the giant black bee.
The black giant bee remained indifferent and ignored Chen Yuan.
Seeing this, Chen Yuan was completely relieved. He stepped forward and walked into the mountain at full speed.
When disciples from various sects passed through Black Wood Mountain, they were very cautious and did not dare to get too close to the black giant bees, otherwise they would be attacked by the giant bees.
But Chen Yuan only has three black spiritual herbs, and he must get out of Black Wood Mountain before the medicinal power is exhausted, so he can only move at full speed.
When the medicinal power of the first black spiritual herb was about to run out, he had only climbed halfway up the mountain. He took the second black spiritual herb and his steps became faster.
When they reached the top of the mountain, only one third of the medicinal power of the second black spiritual herb remained.
At this time, Chen Yuan's spiritual sense discovered that a huge black beehive appeared on the top of the ancient tree in front of him, with hundreds of black giant bees lying on it, seemingly resting.
He hesitated for a moment, and instead of taking a detour, he ran straight forward.
The medicinal power of the black spiritual herb is almost gone and cannot be wasted at all.
When Chen Yuan passed under the beehive, he attracted the attention of hundreds of black giant bees. In an instant, thousands of compound eyes looked over at him.
Chen Yuan tightly grasped the Chixiao Sword in his hand, his expression extremely solemn, but his pace did not slow down at all.
Buzz!
Several giant black bees left the hive and flew towards him.
Chen Yuan's heart tightened and he almost threw the Chixiao Sword away.
But these giant black bees did not attack him. Instead, they flew in circles in the air, as if expressing something.
Chen Yuan's mind raced, and he quickened his pace, moving forward.
When he was a hundred feet away from the hive, the giant black bees flew back to the hive and continued to rest.
Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that these black giant bees mistook him for a giant bee from another hive. They drew circles to drive him away, but they had no ill intentions.
After this incident, Chen Yuan was no longer afraid of the beehive. He went straight ahead, passing two more beehives along the way. When the medicinal power of the three black spiritual herbs was completely exhausted, he left the Black Wood Mountain.
After this mountain, the road is smooth. In another half a day, you will reach the mountains that separate the inner and outer rings of the secret realm.
However, this is also the place with the densest concentration of spiritual herbs in the outer ring, including many three hundred and five hundred year old spiritual herbs. It is a place where disciples from various sects focus on plundering.
Chen Yuan was not in a hurry to travel, but found a secret cave, took a soul-restoring pill, and meditated to regulate his breathing.
He controlled the Qingyun Sword and entered the miasma, where he needed to resist the corrosion of the miasma, which consumed a small amount of his magic power.
Given Chen Yuan's cautious character, he naturally wanted to fully restore his magic power before continuing on his journey.
A quarter of an hour later, Chen Yuan opened his eyes, his magic power was restored, he walked out of the cave and continued to move forward.
Unlike the time when he charged recklessly in the Black Wood Mountain, this time he spread out his spiritual sense, holding the Fixed Light Mirror in one hand and the Scarlet Sky Sword in the other, ready to meet the enemy at any time.
A quarter of an hour later, Chen Yuan encountered a high-level leopard monster.
When the monster saw Chen Yuan, its eyes turned red and it pounced on him immediately.
Chen Yuan did not dare to hold back. He used the Chixiao Sword, the Purple Bee Needle and the Dingguang Mirror at the same time and killed him on the spot in no time.
Then he quickly packed up the monster materials, picked up a three-hundred-year-old spiritual herb that the leopard monster was guarding, and continued to move forward.
Along the way, he encountered many monsters and beasts, and after killing them, he harvested a lot of monster materials.
But he deliberately avoided several places where spiritual herbs grew, and did not meet any disciples of his sect.
After walking and stopping for a few hours, Chen Yuan could already see the circular mountain range separating the inner and outer rings from afar.
At this moment, the sounds of metal clashing faintly reached Chen Yuan's ears, followed by several shouts and curses.
He paused, slowed down, and walked slowly forward.
Chen Yuan was behind a small hill at this time. The surrounding terrain was flat and there was no place to hide.
He planned to observe the situation first and then make plans.
Chen Yuan came to the top of a hill several meters high, hid himself behind a rock, and looked into the distance.
At the foot of the hill, five Zi Yang Sect disciples dressed in purple robes were besieging a cultivator.
This cultivator controlled two flying swords, defending himself from attacks left and right. Although he was surrounded by five people, he did not lose the upper hand.
Chen Yuan looked carefully and saw that the man was wearing a white shirt and had a stern expression. He was none other than Ren You, the disciple of Tiangang Sword Sect that Mo Jingchun had mentioned.
As for the two flying swords, one is the flying sword itself, and the other is a sword shadow condensed from spiritual light, which is the famous light-splitting and shadow-transforming technique of sword cultivators!
