1 Chapter Forty

At the front of Yinfeng Valley, dim clouds and mists enveloped the entire sky.

There was a gust of wind.

In a deserted Gobi, in the corner of a boulder, watching Zhang Qingyuan's figure gradually disappear into the distance, two big men hiding in a remote corner had ugly expressions on their faces.

"Was that an inner disciple of Yunshui Sect just now?"

"It should be right. I saw his sect token. Damn it, why did this guy appear at this juncture? Could it be that the wind leaked it?!"

One of the big men with a square face punched the rock beside him, and a piece of the hard rock cracked.

"Impossible, the people we recruited may have other intentions, but they absolutely dare not tell Yunshuizong!"

Another man who was a little thinner and taller thought for a moment, and spoke authentically.

"Then why did that kid from the inner sect appear here? Although this ghostly place produces some rare spiritual materials, even monks from the outer sect of the Yunshui Sect are not common. This joint?"

"Perhaps... this is a coincidence?"

The tall and thin man hesitated.

The big man with a square face shook his head when he heard the words.

"If it's really a coincidence, that's fine. I'm afraid they are coming towards our sect. Not long ago, the same sect from Luoshui just sent a message. Let's be careful. They seem to be being targeted. Recently, There are quite a few scoundrels of the Yunshui Sect near the Loose Cultivation Alliance they support, and they seem to be investigating something."

"Then it will be troublesome. Will the thing that the sect over there ordered to seize the Jiang family be exposed in advance?"

"I don't know. It's because of that that I worry that this time it might not be a coincidence, but something discovered by those guys from Yunshuizong."

The big man with the square face shook his head, and then his face turned grim.

"I don't care if it's exposed or not, just follow him. If you really come to investigate, then you won't stop doing anything, just kill that kid, and then pretend to be attacked by a ghost to delay the time!"

"Row!"

The tall and thin man also nodded solemnly.

"Anyway, it's just a mere cultivator at the eighth level of spiritual energy. With our strength, we can easily capture that little devil. Maybe we can use this to get some information about the inner sect of Yunshui Sect."

Both of them are full of self-confidence. It is expected that a mere eighth level of spiritual energy will be easily captured with their strength.

Even the thin and tall man thought about what method he should use to pry the kid's mouth open after he captured that kid.

They looked at each other, nodded to each other, and then disappeared in place like a ghost in a gust of wind.

……

Zhang Qingyuan had no way of knowing what happened behind him.

Entering the Valley of the Shadow Wind, it is almost like stepping into another world. The whole world is turbulent, with dry weeds stretching endlessly, and there are strange trees with gray dry bark growing in the forest in the distance. From a distance, it looks like a A devil with teeth and claws, ferocious and strange.

Zhang Qingyuan pondered, and scratched the ground casually.

The dry soil does not see any moisture.

Suddenly,

Swish!

The soil exploded, and a black, fist-sized monster suddenly kicked the soil away, and stabbed towards Zhang Qingyuan as swiftly as black lightning!

"what?!"

Originally, I just wanted to see the environment of Yinfeng Valley, but suddenly such a thing appeared!

Zhang Qingyuan's expression changed slightly.

However, his eyes were calm, and when the black lightning came in front of him, the long sword with sheath in his hand came first, splitting the air suddenly, knocking down the thing the size of a fist in an instant, and nailing it to the ground.

Although it was not out of its sheath, the scabbard with the silver shadow was obviously a low-grade magic weapon made by Lin Yan and Zhang Qingyuan, and its power could not be much worse.

The scabbard directly penetrated the thing's body, penetrated its body, and nailed it to the ground.

It's a scorpion!

Seeing the continuous struggle of the monster nailed to the ground by the scabbard, Zhang Qingyuan frowned slightly, because the soil and sand around him had been corroded by the venom.

Terrible!

After a while, Zhang Qingyuan took the silver shadow back into his hand until the scorpion stopped struggling.

Danger!

For the first time, Zhang Qingyuan felt the ubiquitous danger and malice in this Yinfeng Valley.

"In a dangerous place, you must be more careful."

Pulling himself together, Zhang Qingyuan began to slowly explore the Yinfeng Valley step by step.

twists and turns,

Not only the trees are like evil spirits with claws and claws, but even the vines that spread and climb on the cliffs are like devils that devour life.

Along the way, Zhang Qingyuan was cautious.

But still suffered a lot of attacks.

There are poisonous snakes that meander and hide on the branches like a dead branch, there are mutated poisonous scorpions that hide under the sand and shoot out suddenly, and there are ferocious man-eating plants among the gods.

And that's just the periphery.

When Zhang Qingyuan went deeper, he saw some translucent ghosts floating in the air with the dark wind in between, and when he saw the living creatures, they swarmed over.

There are also bone monsters formed of white bones. Under the wind blowing year after year, their bodies are as hard as steel. The breath of any living creature may attract them.

"trouble!"

A cold light of the sword reflected in the sky, and the head of the animal bone monster with the seventh level of spiritual origin pierced through and nailed to the ground, and the strong black monster energy escaped.

It was seen that the body of the white bone demon turned into a pile of bones and collapsed to the ground, and at the same time, the white bones became rotten visibly to the naked eye.

It is as if it has been weathered for thousands of years and gradually corrupted.

Zhang Qingyuan seemed to turn a blind eye to this scene.

Along the way, he had killed many bone monsters, and even killed many ghosts floating in mid-air.

"If you're cultivating the skills of ghosts, this place is a rare treasure."

Looking at the incomparably thick Yin Qi in the surrounding air, Zhang Qingyuan thought to himself as if he had entered the darkness.

The monks who practice the ghost way can greatly enhance the strength of the ghost way monks, whether they use this yin energy to raise corpses, or directly capture the ghosts wandering in mid-air or refine them into puppets.

While thinking about it, Zhang Qingyuan took care of the bone monster with the seventh level of spiritual energy, walked towards the place where it was guarding and wandering, and searched carefully around.

Along the way, after killing those ghosts and monsters who dared to attack him, Zhang Qingyuan was able to find some natural treasures nearby.

Although they are all ordinary goods, this proves one thing.

Around the spiritual objects, there must be monsters guarding them.

This made Zhang Qingyuan's search task much easier this time.

Not long after, among the gray and black weeds, Zhang Qingyuan saw the ghost grass growing in a corner, all the vegetation around the soil was dead, exuding black mist, floating leisurely like a dream!

"Hundred-year-old human-level ghost grass!"

Zhang Qingyuan's eyes lit up, and he hurried forward to confirm that it was correct.

Carefully picked the Ghost Grass.

The first mission goal is achieved!

And this also means,

He has already stepped into the core area of ​​Yinfeng Valley!

Chapter 141

"That is……"

In a valley, the wind howled, Zhang Qingyuan stood on the barren hill, looking not far away, feeling depressed.

In the valley gathered in the distance, there are ghosts and bone demons patrolling and wandering around, and at the center of these wandering monsters, there are terrible bones piled up into barren hills, and a tall and terrifying figure exuding jet-black demonic aura, the dragon Sitting on the hill of bones like a tiger, it seems to be sleeping.

From the looks of it, the figure on the top of the bone hill should be the leader of the ghostly bone monsters around.

"The leader's strength is about the early stage of the Ninth Level of Lingyuan, and there is no major problem in dealing with it, but the miscellaneous soldiers around are a bit troublesome, and they must be cleaned up first..."

Zhang Qingyuan pondered in his heart.

The yin demon and bone demon here were born from the yin wind. At first, they were ignorant and devoid of wisdom, and could only follow their instincts to wander.

If you want to improve your own strength, you must either rely on the ubiquitous Yin wind between the heavens and the earth to wash away and slowly improve over time, or swallow the Yin-type spiritual energy that escapes from the heavenly materials and earthly treasures that grow here, so as to speed up your improvement.

Therefore, in the places guarded by demons, you can basically find the unique natural treasures of Yinfeng Valley.

Along the way, Zhang Qingyuan has used this method to wipe out many demon dens, and found many spiritual objects that belonged exclusively to this Yinfeng Valley. Among them, five copies of the century-old human-level ghost grass have been found, and there are other miscellaneous ones. Spirit ore.

The task is already half done.

It's a pity that the harvest of cleaning up these monsters is nothing more than that.

Whether it is a ghost or a white bone demon, after killing, the demon energy escapes and dies, and none of them fall at all, and some are just the spiritual objects guarded by the other party.

You must know that in other areas outside the world, such as the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the slaughtered monsters not only can be forged with various materials such as teeth and fur, but also the meat of the monsters can be sold and eaten, and those monsters are guarded, which has high applicability Treasures of Heaven and Earth.

In comparison, the monsters in Yinfeng Valley are extremely poor.

If it weren't for the special geographical environment that led to the production of more Yin-type spiritual materials and spirit mines, which played an irreplaceable role in some aspects, I am afraid that there are not many monks in this Yinfeng Valley who are willing to come to chew on this poor and hard bone .

The same is true for Zhang Qingyuan.

If he hadn't accepted the task of Ghost Grass, he wouldn't have been able to come to this ghostly place after going out for training.

"Then, as before, let's lure the monsters and clean them up."

Not long after, Zhang Qingyuan made a decision in his mind.

The miscellaneous soldiers around the leader of the bone monster are mostly in the middle and low ranks of Lingyuan, and there are also a few guards on the Bone Mountain. .

Although Zhang Qingyuan is not afraid of these miscellaneous soldiers.

But once the opponents rush up and beat him up, Zhang Qingyuan is no more than eight-level perfection, but he is no match for four hands with two fists.

Therefore, to deal with these hordes of monsters, the only way to deal with the monster leader is to lure out the surrounding monsters first, and then deal with the leader of the monsters.

Zhang Qingyuan has been extremely proficient in this since the journey.

……

A few bones and skeleton monsters were wandering blindly, when a rustling sound came from not far away, attracting their attention.

Behind a boulder not far away, a few weeds were stirring.

At the same time, there is a slight breath of life coming.

The bone demon with low intelligence didn't think about what it was, but just followed the instinct of life, step by step, and walked slowly towards the source of the sound like a machine.

The large force that is gradually moving away.

And the many ghosts and bone monsters wandering on the Bone Barren Mountain behind him didn't pay any attention to the few bone monsters who were attracted away.

Several low-level bone demons gradually moved away until they bypassed a valley passage, walked out of the valley, and turned around a huge boulder.

At this time, it was out of sight of the Bone Barren Mountain.

Right now,

Suddenly.

A figure suddenly jumped down from the boulder beside him!

Swish!

A silver light descended from the sky, silently, but as fast as thunder, with an irresistible and terrifying force, it instantly pierced through the head of one of the bone demons like tofu.

The black evil spirit dissipated from the bone demon's body, and then it turned into a skeleton and fell to the ground with a clatter. It was astonishingly dead.
