Chapter 159 - Mystic Gigantic Beasts
Xiang Yun was shocked to discover that he was actually moving along with the huge rock beneath him. He looked down and was shocked to discover that what he was standing on was not a huge rock, but a gigantic cloud beast with a lizard"s back!
The latter was completely covered in white snow, and its exact shape could not be seen. However, it was over a hundred feet tall, and its body was even wider than the government roads from Qin Feng City to Silver City.
The latter had not revealed any aura fluctuations previously, but at this moment, Xiang Yun could feel that this enormous cloud beast"s aura was as vast as the abyss. It was actually even stronger than the Snow Dragon Sect"s Sect Master, Zheng Heshan.The place where Xiang Yun currently stood, just happened to be his back!
"Hiss!"He suddenly discovered that he was actually on the back of an unfathomable Cloud Beast. Xiang Yun felt all the hair on his body stand up, his entire body turning cold. The chill in his heart was even colder than the bone-chilling snow around him!
Xiang Yun"s sudden aura fluctuation seemed to have been detected by this enormous beast. The latter suddenly stopped and raised its enormous head. It was actually looking back!
This caused Xiang Yun to be frightened to the core. The latter endured the pain and hurriedly lay back down into the crevice he had fallen into. At the same time, he activated his Turtle Aura Technique, covering his entire body"s aura!
"Roar!"
The beast"s low roar caused Xiang Yun"s eardrums to vibrate in pain as he felt his head grow dizzy. However, he forced it back until the beast"s doubts were dispelled and he began to move on.
Only then did Xiang Yun stealthily lift himself up and look around him, wanting to find an opportunity to escape. However, when he looked down, he discovered that this enormous beast was flying at top speed!
The latter sat on its large and smooth back, not feeling anything at all. However, as he lowered his head to look at the trees and the wind whistling past his ears, he realized just how fast this enormous beast"s speed was!It was as if Xiang Yun had never thought of jumping off a giant beast!
However, he was severely injured. Not to mention jumping, it was extremely difficult for him to even support his body. If he were to flip over from this height, perhaps he would faint and never wake up again.
Furthermore, if he made a ruckus and was discovered by this giant beast, it would be unfair for him to act like he was having a heart attack!
Exhausted, his eyelids felt heavy as if they had been filled with lead, and his entire body was in unbearable pain. All of his internal organs were filled with needle-like pain!
On one hand, it could recover his spiritual force. On the other hand, it had a very strong healing effect, and it could also help him forget about the pain. This way, he might even be able to recover from his injuries the moment he woke up!
At this moment …
Xiang Yun laid quietly on the back of the gigantic beast. Under the channeling of the Turtle Rest Technique, the Art of Creation began to circulate quietly.
From within the golden spirit root, a clear stream spread outwards, entering deep into the skin of the muscles and bones and nourishing every cell as it began to heal Xiang Yun"s injuries.
Time pa.s.sed by just like this, one minute and one second at a time. By the time Xiang Yun had slowly woken up from his Turtle Resting Technique, the moon had already begun shining brightly and everything was quiet and peaceful.The only sounds that came to his ears were the whistling of the wind, the m.u.f.fled sound of the giant beast"s footsteps, and its heavy breathing.
This time, Xiang Yun was clearly in a better mental state than before. At the very least, he no longer felt a splitting headache, a drowsy state, and a much clearer mind.
Immediately afterwards, Xiang Yun began to inspect his body. The results of this inspection caused Xiang Yun to be extremely surprised.
Originally, he had thought that with the healing effects of the Turtle Resting Art and the Art of Creation, he would be able to quickly recover from his previous serious injuries.But today, after half a day of using the Turtle Aura Technique, his condition had only improved a little. However, the pain in his internal organs had lessened slightly, and his injuries were still severe!
"What"s going on?"
Xiang Yun was extremely puzzled. He had personally witnessed the profound mysteries of the Turtle Resting Technique and the Art of Creation, but why was it unable to do anything to him now?
Xiang Yun immediately began circulating the Art of Creation once more. At the same time, he inspected his meridians and internal organs, sensing the flow of all of the cloud energy, and the process of repairing his body.He wanted to find out the reason why he recovered so slowly!
After continuously circulating for several cycles, Xiang Yun was still unable to sense anything amiss, all the way to the fourth cycle.When a clear stream flowed into one of the residences, Xiang Yun suddenly sensed that there seemed to be an additional formless energy inside.
It mixed with his own blood and drew out a sliver of his cloud energy. The sliver of energy mixed with his own blood and entered his injured internal organs.
Every time the energy within Xiang Yun"s body began repairing itself, that energy would stir and disrupt the process of recovery, ultimately exhausting both his cloud energy and energy.
"What the h.e.l.l is this thing!"
Xiang Yun was shocked. He did not understand why such a strange energy would appear within his body!
"Don"t tell me it"s Zheng Heshan"s doing!"
Xiang Yun suddenly recalled that the attack he had received from Zheng Heshan earlier had most likely come from Zheng Heshan!
Xiang Yun"s guess was right as well. Zheng Heshan"s Blood Cloud Palm was the source of this mysterious power.The latter name of the palm strike was "Blood Fury Palm". It could condense a fiendish blood energy that could destroy the internal organs, flesh, and even bones of the person who struck it!
Normally, those who were struck by this palm would have their flesh, blood, and bones disintegrated in less than three days.
Usually, the body would start melting from the inside all the way to the moment the skin and flesh started to fester. Eventually, the thick water would flow out and the body would turn into a pool of blood.Once Xiang Yun was struck by Zheng Heshan"s palm, Zheng Heshan felt completely at ease, because this palm strike was something that only Profound Cloud Realm experts would be able to use to force Xue Sha out.
Otherwise, even if a peak Huang Yun martial artist were to be hit, they could only wait for death on the spot.However, he did not expect that Xiang Yun, who possessed a miraculous martial art like the Art of Creation, would be able to rely on his tyrannical recovery ability to confront the destructive power of this blood fiend energy.
In this process of repair and destruction, the one in pain was Xiang Yun himself.He had originally thought that his injuries would quickly recover. However, because of the existence of the blood fiend energy, the recovery time was incomparably long!
This also meant that the pain on Xiang Yun"s body would have to persist for a long period of time, causing him to feel so much pain that he wished he were dead, yet he could not find a way to do anything about it.
The only way to alleviate the pain was to use the Turtle Aura Technique and fall into a deep slumber, quietly waiting for his injuries to improve!
Just like this, two days pa.s.sed in this manner. When Xiang Yun opened his eyes, he first felt a familiar pain, as though he was being a.s.saulted by surging tidewater.Fortunately, he had gotten used to it in the past few days. Even though the pain had attacked him, he was still able to endure it.
He opened his eyes to look at the sky, and through the constantly moving tip of the dense forest, he could see the bright moon in the pitch-black sky, and the stars that filled the sky.He then turned his head to look at the giant beast below him, still rushing forward tirelessly. Xiang Yun had no idea where this giant fellow was headed to.
Lying on the back of this gigantic beast, Xiang Yun felt a little regretful that this Silvermoon Forest was actually so huge.He had been on the back of the beast for three days and three nights. The beast was moving at such a terrifying speed, yet it was still in the vicinity of the forest.
Xiang Yun"s injuries had yet to recover much, so he could only rest on the body of this enormous beast.
Xiang Yun spent most of his time recovering from his injuries. When he grew hungry, he would take out some of the rations in his luggage and chew them. When he was thirsty, it would be even simpler. He would just grab a handful of snow and stuff it into his mouth.
Traveling through this extremely dangerous Silvermoon Forest, Xiang Yun could be said to be in countless dangers. However, he had no right to make any sort of decision. He could only allow the giant beast below him to charge forward and heal his injuries with great difficulty.
However, it was not as if this giant beast was completely without benefits. At the very least, due to the presence of this powerful giant beast below him, there were no Cloud Beasts that dared to provoke him. Xiang Yun, on the other hand, could quietly heal his injuries.
What Xiang Yun did not know was that at this moment, he was already far away from the borders of the Silvermoon Forest, heading deeper into the Music Forest.
When Xiang Yun looked at the sky and felt that his breathing had nearly reached its limit, he intended to once again enter the hibernation state of Turtle Resting Technique. However, at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly resounded within his mind!
"It"s time for the lottery draw for the Dragon Boat Festival. The Golden Soldier System is open for the lottery draw. Host can start the lottery draw at any time."
"Ah!" Hearing the system announcement, Xiang Yun was momentarily stunned, his heart overjoyed."d.a.m.n it, how could I have forgotten that today is the fifth day of the fifth month"s Dragon Boat Festival!"
It had been more than twenty days since the seventh day of April. Xiang Yun had been holding on to his fingers, waiting for the lottery draw for the seventh day of the fifth month. However, he had forgotten that the fifth day of the fifth month was the traditional Chinese Dragon Boat Festival!At this moment, Xiang Yun simply wanted to teleport back to more than two thousand years ago. Hugging Qu Yuan, he ruthlessly kissed him on the cheek, saying, "Thanks, Old Qu!"
Immediately, Xiang Yun began circulating his Turtle-Breath Technique, entering into a deep slumber. Then, he focused his consciousness into his mind and entered into the Golden Escort Knight system.
It was still a familiar disk, but the contents of the Lottery had undergone a great change.Among them, the martial arts techniques were: One-Line Lightning Sword, Swift Wind Swift Sword, Swift Dragon Lightning Sword.
Inner force cultivation methods were: The inner strength and outer strength of a child"s skills, the great courage of the external strength, the Flame Art, and the inner strength of the Spirit Sun Sect.
Weapons: Soaring Sky Sword, Refined Iron Rod, Chain Locking,
Special items were: Minor Teleportation Pills, Hundred Meters Mosquitoes, and Cloud Shadow Stone.
The orders were: Sect Master"s cave, Disciplinary Hall, Peach Blossom Array,
The two types of silver are: silverware 1000 taels of silver, silverware 10,000 taels of silver, cloud crystal, and so on.After Xiang Yun finished looking at the entire lottery disc, he could not help but become excited. He did not know if it was because of the holiday lottery, but the items on the disk were actually of a higher grade than before.
Take three types of inner force skills for example, the "Art of the Child"s Art" and the "Art of the Spirit Sun Sect" are both secret inner force skills of the Emei Sect.
As for the "Flame Art", it was a novel written by Jin Yong, t.i.tled "Heroic Voyager". The master of the White Whale Island didn"t know the secrets of the clay doll he obtained and gave it to Shi Potian before his death.
As for inner force skills, Xiang Yun did not have to think about it for the time being. His gaze was still focused, as usual, on the martial arts secret arts column.
Seeing the appearance of the three sword techniques, Xiang Yun could not help but be wild with joy!
There was no need to say anything else about the electric sword. Xiang Yun had been looking forward to but had not been able to obtain it. As for the Swift Dragon Lightning Sword, Xiang Yun knew that it was a secret sword art of the Kunlun Sect.
However, these two sword techniques were not what Xiang Yun wanted the most. The martial art that Xiang Yun wanted to obtain was undoubtedly the < swift="" gale="" sword=""> sword art!
