Ask the Mirror Chapter 170: High altitude
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Asking Mirror!
The roar of the ghost beast has already brought with it the psychedelic power that makes the demonic beast tremble, but Yu Ci is still as before, inexplicably not affected at all, but the shock wave penetrates the eardrum, making it very uncomfortable.
At the same time, the message that Zhu Lao said was also transmitted in a very strange way. Yu Ci felt a slight touch in his soul. Thinking of Zhu Lao's words, he thought about it and absorbed the external force. After a moment of inspection, it was found that there was a eloquent message inside, written purely with spiritual thoughts and bundled into a ball.
The old man's attainments in the way of the soul are truly unfathomable as he can still bundle his spiritual thoughts and deliver them accurately even though he is separated by a mountain peak!
Yu Ci was amazed, but he really didn't have time to study the information inside. The situation in front of him took up most of his energy.
Now, he is on the back of a ghost beast!
There is a saying in the world that "riding a tiger is difficult to get off". Yu Ci felt that riding a ghost beast would be a hundred times worse than that.
It’s not that Yu Ci didn’t know the danger on the ghost beast’s back, nor did he want to stay away. However, when he flew up a few feet and tried to exert his strength again, his body was filled with emptiness. He was already exhausted, and the ghost beast’s figure The surge surged, breaking through the rock on which he was standing, and directly pushing him up.
"There are signs of losing strength...it's too big!"
This is the result of Yu Ci using the "Xiguang Escape Technique" to force Earth Escape. The Five Elements Escape Technique is easy to learn but difficult to master, especially Earth Escape is the master of it all. Probably because the earth is rich and virtuous, the Qi of the five elements are all reflected in the earth. To travel through it, the other four escape techniques are bound to be involved. Because of this, earth escape is the most difficult to learn, the most labor-intensive, and Learning deeply is also the most dangerous.
When ordinary upper-level spiritual cultivators learn the Five Elements Escape Technique, they often start with Water Escape or Wood Escape, then practice Fire Escape, Metal Escape, etc., and finally practice Earth Escape, in a step-by-step manner to minimize the risk.
Even so, monks in the realm of spiritual communication have profound attainments in earth escape. It is already very impressive to travel underground for more than ten miles in one breath. No matter how far the distance is, the energy will be weak and the strength will be weak. If you accidentally encounter the Five Elements The Qi changes, and it is impossible to say that the escape technique will be broken, and he will be suffocated alive in the soil. It is said that the true power of Earth Escape can only be revealed after it has been condensed into a returning elixir.
Yu Ci is still far away from the realm of Huandan, and his attainments in the Five Elements Escape Technique are also very rudimentary. He only relies on the "Xiguang Escape Technique" to be able to walk through the earth and rocks without hindrance, not to mention that he has to suppress his inner body. Fu organs accumulate evil spirits, and therefore, this process is particularly labor-intensive. In less than a mile, he was almost drained and ended up in this situation.
"Jump now... you are seeking death!"
As soon as the idea came up, Yu Ci rejected it. He has seen the speed of ghost beasts before. In the past, they could escape into the rock formations for temporary shelter. But now, the ghost beasts somehow managed to create such a strange flame form, walking through the earth and rocks, and their speed was obviously faster than him. The earth escape triggered by "Escape Technique" is still smooth. In this case, jumping down will really cost you your life!
Now, on the back of the ghost beast, there are hairs as long as needles, and the fire smoke burns the body, but at least one thing is that the long tail of the ghost beast has been cut off by some powerful enemy. Without the long tail, the ghost beast The beast's powerful "tail segment" that can cut off the head of the Huandan Demon is difficult to use on him.
The ghost beast's huge body jumped up before the thought came to an end.
With a booming sound, the ghost beast hit the cliff hard, and its spine was almost completely embedded in the cliff. However, Yu Ci used an acrobatic movement, grabbing the long hair on the side of the ghost beast's neck, and hanging his whole body in the air to avoid it. It started to hit, and at the moment when the ghost beast separated from the cliff, it circled back to the big guy's back.
Yu Ci stopped at a slightly flat area behind the shoulder and neck of the ghost beast. His expression was not very good. It was not difficult to perform the action just now, but how can the fur of a ghost beast be so easy to grasp? At this time, his palms were burned to pieces by the flames, and he relied on perseverance to endure it.
After failing in one blow, the ghost beast became even more agitated. It was about to use another method, but for some reason, it raised its head and looked at the sky. The next moment, it jumped up suddenly, its limbs bounced, and fire smoke billowed under its feet. It seemed that there was a foothold in the void. In just a few leaps, he reached a height of a hundred feet, reaching the top of the Jue Valley. He was still rising, and his speed was getting faster and faster.
The ghost beast... is flying!
Of course Yu Ci knew that ghost beasts could fly, but it was always shocking to see such a huge creature flying through the air. The ghost beast climbed so fast that Yu Ci had to lower herself down to resist the sudden wind pressure.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt that the situation was wrong. No matter how safe the ghost beast was, he himself could not fly. If he really reached a thousand feet in the sky, his situation would be awkward. In contrast, even if he is chased by ghosts and beasts on the ground, he can always think of other ways!
So Yu Ci did not hesitate to draw the magic talisman, hoping to use this talisman's ability to travel through the void in a short time to get back on the ground.
In a blink of an eye, Yu Ci glanced down and saw that he was already some distance away from the top of the valley, but the ghost beast was still climbing. Yu Ci cursed secretly, and was about to let go and jump down when a scream suddenly erupted in the air. Before he understood what was going on, a huge shock came along with the roar of a ghostly beast.
The shock force passed through his body in an instant. Yu Ci grunted, and the hand that was about to let go suddenly closed inward, tightly gripping the ghost beast's fur, and refused to let go even if the fire and smoke were billowing above it.
Strong winds in the sky brought a clear message: Monster! And he's an extremely powerful guy.
The speed of both parties was too fast. Yu Ci was bumping on the back of the ghost beast again, and her vision was blurred. She could only feel the ghost beast flying like lightning, tossing and turning in the air, and colliding with another gray figure that was roughly similar to a human shape several times. At the tenth mark, a series of booming sounds sounded in the atmosphere, as heavy as thunder, and they joined together. There was also a strong wind howling, scraping the face like a knife.
Thanks to Yu Ci's quick reaction, he stayed on the ghost beast's back, otherwise the overflowing turbulence would have been enough to kill him. Unlike now, the ghost beast is surrounded by fire and smoke. While protecting itself, it is also protecting him unconsciously... Of course, if the ghost beast reacts, the consequences will not be good.
At this time, the ghost beast showed its power and knocked the gray shadow several miles away with one claw. The gray shadow was obviously injured and was not willing to fight, so he turned around and ran away. Only then did Yu Ci see clearly. It was a monster that was black and gray in color. It looked similar to a human, but there were barbs running down the back of its spine, which was very eye-catching.
The ghost beast roared and chased it for dozens of miles. Just as it was about to catch up, the clouds in the sky split and two more flying demons rushed out to tangle with it. These two monsters were obviously much weaker. The furious ghost beast hit them hard twice in succession, and they were shattered into pieces and fell straight down. But then, the black and gray monster in front disappeared without a trace.
"Roar!"
The ghost beast looked up to the sky and roared, the surging sound waves swept across, and even the dark clouds above its head were torn apart. It contains the power to attack the soul. As soon as the sound wave reaches it, chaos suddenly arises in the clouds. Seven or eight strange figures cannot be hidden. They either pounce down or escape. It is very lively.
Yu Ci noticed something was wrong. Why did this ghost beast mean to be surrounded and killed?
The ghost beast exerted its strength, splashing with blood, and scattered several demons that fell down. Then it soared into the air, breaking through the low-altitude clouds in a blink of an eye, and was thousands of feet high in the sky, continuing to climb. There were still demons below who were ready to move, but those who overestimated their abilities and caught up were all torn to pieces by the demonic beasts, and they temporarily stopped.
Have those demons who broke through the boundary targeted it again? Yu Ci had previously wondered why a ghostly beast suddenly fell from the sky, but now it seemed that it might have been knocked down by some powerful demon.
Yu Ci had this idea in his mind, and when he looked at the ghost beast, he saw the clues.
He ignored the emergency situation before, but looking at it now, he saw that the ghost beast was actually in a very embarrassed state. In addition to the broken half of its tail, the big guy's fur was also bald on the left side and missing a patch on the right side, with spots and numerous wounds of various sizes spread all over the body, either healed or cracked, which were obviously accumulated over a long period of time.
But the most eye-catching thing is the wound the size of a bowl on its left shoulder. The skin and flesh inside were rotting, and pus flowed, no matter how deep it penetrated. Yu Ci remembered that this was the severe injury caused by Ye Bin's Chuanyun sword. Now it seemed that the injury was more serious because it had not been treated for a long time.
Probably since the opening of the Two Worlds Tunnel, the ghost beasts have been spending their time in killing, and they have not had a chance to breathe.
Yu Ci chuckled, not knowing whether to gloat or admire.
Those monsters are also strange. They all seem to target ghost beasts and will not stop fighting. Even under the sky-rift valley, they were frightened by the shocking illusion of the ghost beasts. It only took a moment before they swarmed up again, scaring the ghost beasts away. Now that the two realms are closed, the number of demons has dropped sharply, but the situation remains unchanged, which is really weird.
While he was thinking, he suddenly felt something was wrong. The wind was howling outside him, the chill was soaking his body, and the ghost beast was still rising. Taking the low-altitude clouds below as a reference, is it possible that it has already flown ten miles above the ground, nearly two thousand feet?
Yu Ci's complexion changed slightly.
The area from ten miles to about thirty miles above sea level is the legendary "Gangfeng Belt". Not only is the air thin and icy cold, but the Nine Heavenly Gang Wind blows hard all year round, penetrating people's muscles and bones and penetrating every hole. Except for those high-altitude birds, which are born with the instinct to protect themselves from cold and wind, ordinary monks, as long as their cultivation level has not reached the realm of returning elixirs and the Qi of their whole body is not harmonious, they will not be able to block the invasion of the strong wind, and they will be invaded by the strong force unknowingly. , damaging the roots.
Yu Ci was carried by a ghost beast and flew here. No matter how courageous he was, he would still complain in his heart. And he didn't know if the ghost beasts were going to fly upward - the strong wind brought them upward to the sky known as "Blue Fall". It is a place where Buxu and even the Tribulation cultivators who have surpassed Buxu monks can come and go freely. Yu Ci does not know the details inside. He only knows that according to rumors, the cultivation level has not reached the Buxu realm, not to mention whether they can fly. If you go up, even if you fly up, you will turn into ashes in a moment. There is no chance!
Perhaps he had some luck after all. After the ghost beast broke through the height of about twenty miles, it stopped climbing. It even forgot about Yu Ci on its back and only looked in one direction. It was flying unsteadily, and only then did it become clear that its injuries were serious.
Yu Ci was distracted at first to identify the direction, but later, the strong wind roared, almost knocking him off the ghost beast, and the wisps of strong power contained in the sky and the earth were heard in the wind. It makes a sound, intending to penetrate through the barrier protecting the body and the true evil.
