Chapter 183 - Moonhowl Heavenly WolfAfter the incident where Xiang Yun had broken through to Six Cloud martial pract.i.tioner, the two people inside the cave began to cultivate once more.
Xiang Yun was a new martial pract.i.tioner with six spiritual roots. Although he had been a little embarra.s.sed by Luo He"s question just now, he still could not contain the joy of breaking through.
At this moment, Xiang Yun felt his entire body br.i.m.m.i.n.g with energy, his mind was in high spirits, he wanted nothing more than to jump up, spread out his fists and legs, and cultivate his sword art!But he couldn"t open the tree hole to begin with. Also, if there was any movement, he might be discovered by the powerful cloud beasts outside. That was why he had to restrain his urge and continue to cultivate to solidify his cultivation.
As for Luo He on the opposite side, although she sat down cross-legged, she did not immediately enter a state of cultivation. Instead, she suddenly opened her eyes and glanced at Xiang Yun. She actually felt slightly guilty.
Originally, he had planned to bring Xiang Yun back to the clan and have the family nurture him with all their might. However, now that he knew the number of spiritual roots within Xiang Yun"s body, he knew that this was definitely impossible.To Xiang Yun, this was not originally a matter of gain or loss, but for some unknown reason, Luo He felt somewhat guilty. This kind of mental state was something that Luo He, who had her sights set on the Ascendant path, would absolutely not allow.
"Looks like I"ll have to compensate him with something along the way." Luo He muttered to herself as she closed her eyes once more!
In the dead of night, no one spoke.The next morning. Perhaps it was because the energy contained within the Cloud Beast meat yesterday was too abundant, but Xiang Yun did not feel any hunger at all.
There was no need for the two of them to eat. Xiang Yun carried his luggage, Luo He tied up the sword box on her back and kept back the square inch of land at the entrance to the cave. The two of them set off once more.
This time, the two of them still chose a south-east path and chose a wooded area to travel to.
In this forest, the less weeds there were, the easier it was for the flat land to be exposed to the clouds, so they had no choice but to choose a more difficult path.On the way, Xiang Yun was leading the way with his Dragon Travelling Sword. As for the directions, the rest, the speed, and departure, all of them belonged to Luo He behind him. The latter said that the path the two of them were walking on right now was the safest route mentioned in the map.
Xiang Yun hadn"t believed it at all, but along the way, according to Luo He"s instructions, the two of them had not encountered a single Cloud Beast.Xiang Yun would never have believed that there were so few Cloud Beasts in the Silvermoon Forest. If they had gathered on the mountain that day, there would have been thousands upon thousands of them. The sheer number would have been terrifying.
The two of them had already left for two days. The sun was about to set on the second day, but the two of them were still safe and sound. Nothing unexpected had happened.
After walking for nearly a hundred kilometers, Xiang Yun had yet to even see the shadow of a Cloud Beast. This caused him to be rather surprised.
Could it be that Luo He"s map was real? But even if the map was real, wouldn"t these Cloud Beasts just walk around by themselves and stay in their lair? This doesn"t make sense, does it?"It can"t be that the high-level cloud beasts in the depths of the Silvermoon Forest are dozing off during the day, or they are hibernating at the same time, right?"
Xiang Yun was muttering to himself when he suddenly felt something dripping onto his shoulder. Subconsciously, he touched it and immediately felt something sticky on his hand.
"This …" He retracted his hand and saw that it was a sticky pile of bird droppings.
"Plop plop plop!"
A flopping sound rang out from above Xiang Yun"s head. He abruptly raised his head and saw a black crow the size of a palm flitting past his head. It even turned its head to look at him with its bright black eyes in contempt!
"Holy sh * t!"Xiang Yun jumped up in anger, drew out his Wandering Dragon Sword and waved it at the crow in the sky. He almost used his sword as an arrow and threw it into the sky, cutting the crow in half!
"It"s you dead bird again! How dare you s.h.i.t on my head!"
Xiang Yun cursed in a low, exasperated tone, but the crow just flapped its wings and flew away.
Xiang Yun did not dare to make too much noise. He could only forcefully suppress his urge to chop down that crow and stew it before continuing on his way.
"Brother Wei, have you seen this crow before?" Luo He had already walked over from behind as she casually inquired.
"I think I saw it once before. Whether it was the same one or not, I don"t know. The crows under the heavens are all black, and they all look the same." Xiang Yun said angrily as he cleaned the filth from his shoulders.Luo He couldn"t help but smile, "It"s getting late, let"s go find a place to rest."
Xiang Yun immediately nodded in agreement. The sky had already turned dark, and night was about to fall. It was time to find a place to rest.
This time, both of them were clearly unlucky. After walking for another ten miles, they finally found a low cave at the foot of a hill. It was about the height of a man.
The mouth of the cave was very narrow, forming a triangular shape. The interior of the cave was pitch black, and one could vaguely see the narrow s.p.a.ce inside.The duo arrived at the entrance of the cave. Just as they were about to enter, Luo He, who was standing behind Xiang Yun, suddenly froze in place!
He glanced sideways at the forest behind him and turned to Xiang Yun, saying, "Brother Wei, you go in first. I want to go out and relieve myself."
Xiang Yun turned to look at Luo He and looked at the pitch black sky before saying with some worry, "Brother Luo He, it"s a little dangerous for you to go alone. How about I accompany you?"Luo He"s face turned slightly red when she heard this. The latter hurriedly waved his hand, "It"s alright, I won"t go far. I"ll be back very soon."
Xiang Yun knew that this Luo He brother was shameless, so he did not force him. He first entered the cave, intending to clear all the junk within it before starting a bonfire and expelling the cold energy within.
However, after Luo He turned around and walked into the darkness, his originally slow and cautious steps suddenly turned into a shadow in the darkness, shooting towards the direction they came from!In the blink of an eye, Luo He appeared in the middle of a dense forest more than ten miles away. Staring at the lush forest before him, Luo He coldly laughed.
"What, you have the guts to follow me but not to show yourself? The Beast King Mountain bloodline, ever since the old Beast Emperor was killed by the Supreme Elder of the Immortal Sword Sect, it has truly declined. One by one, they have actually become cowardly rats?"
At this moment, a thunderous shout came from afar!
"Humph, d.a.m.n girl, what big words you have there. My Beast King Mountain lineage was one of the top forces of the Tianxuan Continent ten thousand years ago. How could a silly girl like you dare to talk about it!"In the next moment, with the whistling of the wind and the flying sand and rocks, a silhouette suddenly appeared like a ghost twenty steps away from Luo He.
It was a tall and thin man wearing beast skins. His face was fierce, his outline rough, and his resolution was firm. There was a sinister scar on his face from the corner of his eyes, like a wriggling centipede.
The man had eye-catching silver shoulder-length hair, which gave him a mysterious and dangerous aura.
"Hehe, so it"s actually the seventh brother of the Beast King Mountain, the Wolf King." Luo He stared at the man in front of her, as her lips curled up in a smile as she spoke.
"Hmph, if you know that your grandfather the Wolf King has arrived and still haven"t handed over that thing, don"t tell me that you want to wait for your grandfather the Wolf King to eat your girl"s tender skin and body before you pull it out?"
The man looked at Luo He with a crazed look on his face. He opened his mouth and revealed two sharp fangs that were completely different from humans. His eyes were filled with a threatening light.
"Haha …" Faced with the threat of the Wolf King, Luo He had a face full of mockery.
You actually dare to threaten me? Do you really think that the Beast King Mountain is still one of the four great forbidden grounds of the past? Your cultivation is one hundred and eighty thousand miles weaker than the previous generation of Wolf King.
"Aooo!" Upon hearing Luo He"s words, the man was fl.u.s.tered and exasperated. With a fierce glint in his eyes, a wolf howled from his mouth. The scene was strange and terrifying.
"d.a.m.ned girl, you"ve been hit by my second brother"s" Divine Beast Devilish Seal ". Your cultivation is already no longer strong, yet you still dare to be so arrogant. Today, I will tear you into pieces, and chew your bones into pieces!"
"Then why don"t you give it a try!"
Luo He sneered, then extended her right hand towards the man. She used her finger to lightly hook him, as if she was teasing a childish child. Her expression was extremely disdainful."Aooo!"
The man howled at the sky, and in the next moment, he had already pounced towards Luo He. The instant his body soared into the air, a dazzling silvery light appeared on the surface of his body.
Under the silver light, the latter"s figure suddenly changed. From its human form, it had transformed into a ma.s.sive silver wolf that was as thick as a stone pillar with black stripes on its back as it shimmered with silver light!The silver wolf"s head was huge, and on its ferocious face was a scar that could be seen from the corner of its mouth. On its forehead was a half-moon, emitting a faint glow!
The silver wolf G.o.d was ferocious. His body released surging waves of energy that reached the heavens!
"So he"s actually a Howling Moon Heavenly Wolf. Interesting!"Facing the silver wolf that was dashing over, Luo He however, had an indifferent expression on his face.
The latter quickly formed a golden seal in front of his body. He did not use the golden seal to attack the silver wolf, but suddenly used the seal in his hand to slap his forehead!
As the golden imprint pierced into his forehead, Luo He"s body trembled slightly. Above her head, a purple inscription appeared, hovering three inches above Luo He"s head. The purple inscription trembled slightly, as though it was forcefully lifted up by an invisible force.
The moment this purple inscription rose, the faint aura that was originally similar to that of the Seven Cloud Martial Disciples instantly erupted from Luo He"s body like the Yellow River, soaring into the heavens!
In that instant, the eyes of the Wolf King in the sky fiercely fluctuated for a moment, then it immediately revealed a trace of deep fear!Xiang Yun, who was inside the cave, did not know that an earth-shattering battle was happening in the distance. After packing the cave, he skillfully set up a bonfire, took out a piece of Cloud Beast meat, and placed it on the grill.
He then dripped the wood spirit fat Luo He had given him onto the surface of the barbecue and threw a fire crystal into the fire. He turned his head to look at the tightly sealed entrance to the cave.
"Brother Luo He went to relieve himself. Why hasn"t he returned after so long? Nothing will happen to him, right?"However, when he thought of the countless treasures that appeared on Luo He"s body, Xiang Yun thought, "Even if there"s some sort of danger, the Luo He brothers probably have a way to deal with it."
Without wasting any time, Xiang Yun decided to cultivate in meditation, waiting for Luo He to return.
