Chapter 50: Monsters in the Mountains
Because of the great distance, the iron hook only managed to lock onto one branch.
Just as they secured the branch, the three of them plummeted downwards, and gravity snapped the branch in two.
The three of them fell to the ground together.
Fortunately, they were only a hundred meters from the ground at that point, and the three of them only felt pain in their backs after falling, but they were not seriously injured.
"It hurts!" Tang Yifan cried out inwardly, and then fainted from the intense pain.
These past few days, he's been traveling through interstellar space in constant fear and anxiety, his nerves on edge, on the verge of collapse.
"Have we finally landed safely?" Qin Zhixue murmured.
They landed in a small ravine between two cliffs, and she felt pain in her bones and was weak and powerless.
Seeing that the surroundings were dark, he did not move rashly, fearing that it would worsen his injuries.
However, she was also on guard. After looking around, she discovered that her Azure Water Sword was scattered three zhang away.
A green gemstone is inlaid on the hilt of the Azure Water Sword.
Now, the mountain stream shimmers with a green light.
Yang Jiuli felt a sharp pain after falling to the ground, as if his bones were about to crack with the slightest movement, indicating that he had injured his foot.
He straightened his body and sat cross-legged.
"Thank goodness, it's just a minor injury!" Yang Jiuli murmured to himself as he assessed his condition.
"Falling down just now must have alerted quite a few mountain beasts. I need to recover my strength first!" Yang Jiuli thought to himself.
With a sudden thought, he sank into his sea of consciousness.
He looked inward at the Three Lives Stone.
The prototype of the "Past Life Talisman". (51/100)
Three Soul Arrows.
Two "Pure Yang Blazing Flame Talismans".
Mental Strength: Level 9 (32/100)
He had just exhausted all of the "Taiyin Qi Talisman".
However, the three 'Soul Arrows' and two 'Pure Yang Blazing Flame Talismans' are enough to deal with ordinary mountain beasts.
"Let's test the density of spiritual energy here first!" Yang Jiuli thought to himself.
With a thought, he activated the "Azure Emperor's Longevity Technique," gathering a wisp of azure wood energy and guiding it into his brow and sea of consciousness.
The energy of the green wood was absorbed by the Three Lives Stone.
"Spiritual energy concentration level: 0.9"
Soon, the Three Lives Stone measured the data.
"A spiritual vein that's not even at the first level..." Yang Jiuli murmured as he looked at the data.
Although the data is low, it is still within reason.
Even in the world of cultivation, first-order spiritual veins are not everywhere.
In many places, the spiritual veins do not reach the rank of immortality.
Every place with a first-order spiritual vein has been occupied by cultivation families.
"The spiritual veins here are already close to the first level, so there should be a few small cultivation families here!" Yang Jiuli murmured.
Having a family of cultivators would allow him to better understand which region of Tianyun Star he had arrived in and what forces were at play there.
In this way, he could better plan his path of cultivation for the next few decades.
"The spiritual energy here is thin; there shouldn't be any powerful demons in the mountains. I should cultivate first..."
With a thought, Yang Jiuli began to circulate the "Azure Emperor's Longevity Technique" to condense the Azure Wood Qi.
The wisps of green wood energy were drawn into the Three Lives Stone, purified, and then injected into the spiritual root to condense into green wood magic power.
Then, use the power of the Green Wood to circulate through the meridians and circulate throughout the body.
In this way, the power of the green wood not only nourishes the meridians, but also becomes more compatible with the body through continuous circulation.
……
An hour later, there was a strange movement in the mountains.
A giant tiger with white spots, about the size of a bison, cautiously approached the mountain stream.
The giant white-spotted tiger's breath emitted a fishy smell, which woke up the unconscious Tang Yifan.
The giant tiger with white spots had eyes that shone brightly, like a large lantern in the darkness.
When Tang Yifan woke up, he immediately saw the gleaming tiger eyes three zhang away.
As the giant tiger breathed, it exuded a malevolent aura, which terrified Tang Yifan, causing his body to tremble.
He moved slightly, only to find that his legs and feet were sweating profusely from the pain.
But she had to bite her lip to stay awake and not make a sound, clearly afraid that the white tiger would discover her.
At the same time, his right hand moved slightly, and his five fingers tried to move.
After confirming that his fingers could move, he aimed the hidden dart at the White Tiger, ready to strike at any moment.
Beside her, Qin Zhixue was also awakened by the murderous aura emanating from the white tiger.
"What a huge serpent!" She turned her head and was startled to see the white tiger, which was as strong as a wild bull.
call!
Just then, the white tiger leaped and pounced on Tang Yifan.
However, at that moment, Yang Jiuli suddenly opened his eyes, and his powerful spiritual energy transformed into a soul tide that surged forth.
The giant white-spotted tiger, which had just pounced out, paused in mid-air and then plummeted back down.
Its legs were trembling, and then it turned its head and leaped three zhang away, leaving the ravine.
A breath later, the white-spotted giant tiger appeared on the cliff next to it.
"He's actually a great cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining!" Its eyes blazed as it looked down at the mountain stream below, locking onto Yang Jiuli below, and thought to itself.
Felines have excellent night vision.
This demonic tiger was even worse.
He took in everything in the mountain stream.
The white-spotted giant tiger could naturally tell that Yang Jiuli and the others were injured.
But upon recalling the terrifying pressure on his soul just now, the white-spotted giant tiger's fierce light faded, and he immediately turned and retreated.
In a few breaths, it disappeared a hundred feet away.
Just now, it was Yang Jiuli who used a soul technique, using "Soul Tide" to intimidate the white-spotted giant tiger.
However, he did not use the "Soul Arrow".
Condensing a 'Soul Arrow' requires a significant expenditure of spiritual energy.
Yang Jiuli was still unaware of his situation and did not want to waste a 'Soul Arrow'.
The "Soul Arrow" has now become his trump card, and it cannot be used lightly; it is enough to scare away the white-spotted giant tiger.
It was also because the white-spotted giant tiger did not truly see through Yang Jiuli's true strength.
They were simply stunned by that powerful soul technique.
Otherwise, Yang Jiuli would have to put in some effort to deal with it.
In the mountain stream, the malevolent aura left behind by the white-spotted giant tiger gradually weakened.
"Ninth Brother, was it you who made the move just now?" After holding his breath for a few moments and making sure the white-spotted giant tiger was far away, Tang Yifan dragged his injured body against a rock. His gaze shifted as he looked at Yang Jiuli, who was about ten feet away, and asked somewhat weakly.
As the giant white-spotted tiger pounced, Tang Yifan had already pulled the trigger of the hidden arrow in his sleeve.
Unfortunately, the hidden arrow got stuck when he fell from the sky!
He did not fire his hidden weapon.
The moment he discovered the clip of his hidden blade, he was terrified and thought to himself, "I'm doomed."
At the crucial moment, the white-spotted giant tiger retreated.
It was also accompanied by an inexplicable aura.
Yang Jiuli's "Soul Tide" was silent and stealthy, yet those around him could feel their hearts pounding.
Tang Yifan had experienced this before at Piaoxue Mountain Villa.
Tang Yifan could now guess that it was Yang Jiuli who had saved his life.
Of course, even if his hidden arrow had been successfully launched, it wouldn't necessarily have been able to harm the white-spotted giant tiger.
Qi-refining level demonic beasts have thick hides and sharp senses, making them not so easy to harm.
"Yes, there are monsters in the mountains, so you'd better be on your guard!" Yang Jiuli replied, then said.
Despite the pain, Qin Zhixue moved her body and grabbed the fallen Biyue Sword, leaning against a tree trunk.
Holding the sword, she finally breathed a slight sigh of relief, and then looked at Yang Jiuli beside her.
