Strange mountains and rivers

Chen Huaisheng was both relieved and not surprised to be promoted to the ninth level of Qi Refining so smoothly.

It actually took Tong Tong only a short time to be promoted to the eighth level of Qi Refining, just over a year, but she practiced very hard, and she was also talented, so she felt very good in the mountains for more than a year, and Chen Huaisheng never spared any support for her with spiritual treasures, and even prepared some for her.

Because of this, Tong Tong also felt that her cultivation progress was facing a breakthrough, so she took the initiative to accompany Chen Huaisheng on a trip, in fact, she was looking for a suitable opportunity to break through, and today's battle finally made her dream come true.

Ling Fan, Xu Beihuai, Tuoba Hong and others also gained a lot.

This kind of repeated fighting at the critical moment of life and death for two days and one night can gain countless special feelings and insights, and present and experience the root bone meridians and marrow reactions in one's own body one by one, especially the potential reaction stimulated by the imminent death, which is difficult to obtain in ordinary practice and experience.

Although Ling Fan and Xu Beihuai failed to achieve success in one go, as long as they continue this journey, the possibility of breaking through and advancing to the seventh level of Qi Refining will become greater and greater. They are even more determined that they can achieve the goal of advancing to the seventh level of Qi Refining before the end of this trip.

If the gains of Tong Tong, Ling Fan and Xu Beihuai are obvious, then the gains of Tuoba Hong and the other two are more psychological. The psychological feeling brought by this direct fight with the second-level monster is unprecedented. Every attack of the Ice Scale Blood Python may kill the three people on the spot, and no matter what magic they use to attack the Ice Scale Blood Python, it is useless, but they still have to resolutely stand in front of the Ice Scale Blood Python and not retreat until they collapse or are injured.

Chen Huaisheng provided them with life protection, but the feeling of life and death in a moment still made them truly realize the cruelty of practice, and also made them grow up afterwards.

Even Chen Huaisheng could feel the transformation of Tuoba Hong and his men after this battle. They became more resilient and brave, as if they had matured overnight.

The frequency of monsters appearing around Hengtian Mountain was quite high before the monster tide, and it was even more rampant during the monster tide. However, after the monster tide receded, it returned to its original state. However, there were also some changes. The range of the first and second level monsters has expanded. It is no longer limited to the foothills, but has expanded to the periphery for at least nearly a hundred miles.

This also means that the risk of being harassed by first and second level monsters in the surrounding areas has greatly increased.

This may not have a big impact on the sects and families, but it is fatal to the mortals and ordinary casual cultivators living in this area.

Even if it is just the red-tailed strange wolf or the mountain wolf, the black thunder leopard and other monsters that appear frequently, it means that the villages and towns within this range are no longer safe.

And the casual cultivators or clan cultivators who act as umbrellas for these mortals have to face this threat directly.

But the first-level monsters are a great threat to ordinary Dao seeds and the initial stage of Qi Refining, and the second-level monsters can directly hunt cultivators below the foundation building stage. The cultivators and Dao seeds at the Qi Refining level are often the main protectors in these rural areas, but now they have become the prey.

After leaving Changhe Village, Chen Huaisheng fell into deep thought.

Changhe Village is a most ordinary mountain village near Zhaigu Road on the southern foot of Hengtian Mountain, gathering more than 7,000 people. It is somewhat similar to Yuanbao Village, Chen Huaisheng’s hometown, but slightly larger.

The village is also dominated by several big families. There are a total of five cultivators in the initial stage of Qi Refining and an old cultivator of the fourth level of Qi Refining. Most of them are over 80 years old. The old cultivator is even 110 years old. There are also more than 30 Dao seeds.

But two months ago, there were still seven cultivators in Changhe Village, but in these two months, two cultivators were attacked by strange wolves, one was swallowed on the spot, and the other was seriously injured and later died.

As if noticing the worry on Chen Huaisheng's face, Tong Tong, who was in great spirits, tilted his head slightly: "Huaisheng, you seem to be worried?"

"Well, I wonder if you noticed some of the situations we heard in Changhe Village and Qiuhua Village at the last stop?" Chen Huaisheng nodded slightly.

"Is it about the expansion of the activity range of the first and second level monsters? It has expanded far outside from the original activity near the foothills. Although the monster tide has basically retreated this year, it is now the spring season, but the monsters can still run to Changhe Village, which is indeed a bit rare."

Tong Tong's words did not hit Chen Huaisheng's worries.

The expansion of the range of monsters is a major trend, but the flood of monster tides has temporarily covered up this sign. As the monster tide recedes, everyone is in a period of relaxation after high tension, so they don't care too much about the first and second level monsters becoming active and expanding their activity range.

After all, the rampage of the third-level monsters in those years has made people somewhat numb. Now that the third- and fourth-level monsters have disappeared, only the first- and second-level monsters, which are much less harmful, are left. Everyone subconsciously doesn't think it's a big deal.

However, many people selectively ignore that in rural areas, non-urban areas such as Changhe Village and Qiuhua Village are simply unable to resist the attacks of second-level monsters or even first-level monsters. The expansion of the activity range of these first- and second-level monsters has brought disasters to many places.

But this is not the most important thing. Chen Huaisheng is more concerned about some changes mentioned by many cultivators and Dao seeds in Changhe Village and Qiuhua Village, that is, the changes in the targets of the monsters' attacks and the changes after the attacks.

"It's not just this. If this is just this, I don't worry so much." Chen Huaisheng shook his head: "The big deal is that the disciples of the Zongmen family in various places need to be more serious and responsible, and to take the responsibility of defending one place. There are some villages that are too close to the mountains to consider evacuation, or arrange more higher -level monks to take turns to stay, but I am more worried about it. "

"What?" Tong Tong was interested.

"The way of monster attacks has changed, almost all of them are specifically targeted at monks and Taoism, but they did not choose to choose mortals, but now they have become more targeted, and after the attack The body, Changhezhai is the most obvious. The monk who refined Qi died three days after serious injuries, but those weird wolves have been hovering outside the cottage. In the end, they found an opportunity to rush in to swallow the corpse. , Even at the expense of the price of injury, ... "

Chen Huaisheng looked at Tong Tong, who walked alongside him: "What does this mean?"

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

Tong Tong's face changed slightly, and his footsteps slow down: "Brother means that these monsters seem to be particularly interested in the monk's body? Well, maybe the body of devouring the monk may make them special benefits?"

"Well, I found this situation when the monsters are tide, but it is not obvious. After the monster and the beast tide, this situation is a bit conspicuous. It seems that there is nothing to swallow the monk's deeds. The key is that this sign is very shuddering. "

Chen Huaisheng's frowned deeply: "I suspect that these monsters have devoured the body of the monks, and they must have great benefits for themselves. For example, evolution will become more fierce, stronger, stronger, and threatened. This is one of them. This is one of them. The other point seems that the changes of monsters and beasts are not taught by each other, but because of the overall changes brought by the monster and animal tide, which makes them automatically have this trend, which is too dangerous! "

Tong Tong also realized the crisis here, pouting his mouth: "If the monsters have attacked the monks, they swallowed the body of the monsters and benefited themselves, and they may even include letting their spiritual spiritual. Wisdom also grows, that is, a potential trend is to constantly attack human monks, and then eat them, be stronger, and then attack, ..., this is terrible! The local monsters have this spiritual understanding. Isn't it necessary to be in chaos in the world, which is more horrible than the monster and the monster tide. After all, everyone knows that the monster and the beasts know for so many years, but this trend is that all monsters have found it. A shortcut of self -strong survival! "" "" "" "" ""

"Yeah, this is what I am most worried about." Chen Huaisheng breathed a sigh of relief: "If this is the case in all parts of the world, the monks will become the best furnace of self -growth in the eyes of monsters, Now we are only seeing the first and second -order monsters. Will the third and fourth -order monsters also have this trend of change? It's obvious, but after the monster tide retreats, this trend has been highlighted. "

"Then what should we do? Didn't they find this situation in each of the Zongmen and the family?" Tong Tong was a little anxious: "Just here, a scattered sand, but what about Da Zhao? Is it impossible for Daoda Palace to notice it? "" "" "" "" "" "" "

Chen Huaisheng took a deep breath: "The Tao Palace cannot be aware of it, but the question is how they discovered it, how can they deal with it? Because this can make each family give up their disputes and work together to deal with the monsters? All live in the ban on the destiny, and when it has not developed so that everyone has the pain of cutting skin, who will find themselves uncomfortable? The monsters are mainly monsters, and they have not yet developed to be amazing. "

"What should we do that brother?" Tong Tong tone was a little rapid. "We all found this, and the remaining pulse of Dahuai Mountain was not too far away from Hengtian Mountain. Wei Huai Dao is here, what should we always do? "
