The Age of Immortal Cultivation: I Have Mountains and Seas to Accompany Me

Chapter 69: Wild Beasts (I)

The sky is filled with wind and sand.

The usually quiet desert became lively today. A group of angry sand lizards glided in the air as if looking for something. After searching for a long time, they turned in another direction and continued searching. When their figures gradually disappeared... after a while, Ye Muxue's figure appeared where they had just lingered.

"Oh my god, I almost got stuck in it."

Ye Muxue wiped away a non-existent cold sweat and secretly thanked her luck - fortunately, when she broke through the sixth level, she learned a Taoist technique of concealment [Divine Concealment Technique] in order to hide her body's aura. This Taoist technique is most effective when exploring secret realms or when surrounded by enemies. It can hide one's whereabouts and body scent very well and is not easily detected by divine sense. She didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.

She wandered in the desert for a day and a night, dug out more than 200 sand lizard nests and more than 3000 sand lizard eggs. It was estimated that the sand lizard population would be extinct, but she also became the target of the sand lizards... Now she used a little trick to get rid of the group of sand lizards.

She didn't know how big the desert was, so she could only move forward quickly in the original direction because the group of sand lizards would turn back soon.

There is a small hill ahead. When you reach the top of the hill, you will see a basin in front of you. There is a large lake with algae on the shore. On the shore is a large grassland with countless bones scattered around... Most of them have been weathered, and there are also some human skeletons with rusty weapons placed next to them, which makes one's hair stand on end!

But she was immediately attracted by the small grasses with white flowers on the shore - Yuanling grass!

This is the main ingredient for the Yuanqi Pill used in the later stages of Qi Refining. Of course, it is also available in the Qiankunfang medicine garden, but who would complain about having too much?
Ye Muxue quickly rushed to the Yuanling grass and began to pick it... Of course, she was paying attention to the situation around her while picking - she didn't think that those corpses died of natural causes.

Suddenly, the sound of water in the lake was like thunder, and the sound of the waves was thrilling... Ye Muxue turned back in shock, only to see a four-legged monster dozens of meters long, covered with scales, with a huge tail dragging on the ground crawling out of the lake.

"roar~"

Seeing Ye Muxue turn her head to look at it, the monster opened its huge crocodile-like mouth, let out a demonstrative roar, and slapped its tail heavily on the lake surface... Boom! The surging lake water passed over its head and poured down on Ye Muxue's head and face.

It was a bit unexpected, but apart from the cold and dampness, Ye Muxue didn't feel any poison, which made her feel a lot more relaxed. But next she had to face this monster...she really didn't know it.

This is not surprising. Even the Master Tongtian may not really know the origins of all creatures in the world, let alone she is just a small Qi Refiner... Ye Muxue threw out a handful of talismans with all five elements. Immediately, fireballs, water arrows, entanglements, traps and sharp techniques acted on the monster one by one.

The fireball burned a black mark on the scales, the water arrows and sharpness spell did not leave any trace on the scales, and the vines broke as soon as they were struggled against. It was the trap spell that worked a little... One of the monster's legs got stuck in it, and its body suddenly fell forward, and its huge figure immediately became half a head shorter.

"Roar!"

The monster roared and opened its mouth wide, revealing its teeth as sharp as halberd blades, and even its little tongue could be seen... good opportunity!

A red line shot out, and by the time the monster realized it and wanted to close its mouth, it was too late, the fire needle shot into the monster's mouth and pierced diagonally into the monster's brain... For such a huge beast, having a needle stuck in its head would only cause a headache at most, but if that needle emitted a raging fire, even a dragon would not be able to withstand it!
"roar~"

The monster rolled over and screamed, its tail stirring up huge waves in the water. It wanted to return to the water, but its brain was severely damaged and it could not control its movements at all. Its sharp claws scratched the lakeshore until dust flew up, leaving a big pit. The grass on the shore where its body rolled was destroyed and withered, and the rocks were shattered.

hide!

Ye Muxue dodged again and again and put a diamond talisman on herself to avoid being implicated and to prevent ambush... The fire spirit needle was taken back. The monster's head was too burnt to eat roasted brains, so there was no need to add more fire. However, when collecting the fire spirit needle, Ye Muxue found that the monster's skin was really strong. The fire spirit needle came out with great effort. As for its scales... even the fire spirit needle could not pierce it!

This is definitely a prehistoric beast. It can easily defeat a monster like the sand lizard... But compared to humans, it is still a little "naive". If it hadn't exposed its weakness, Ye Muxue might not be able to kill it.

Of course, this corpse cannot be wasted. Although it is not a monster, it is better than a monster and is full of treasures. Ye Muxue stuffed it into Qiankunfang, along with some sand lizard corpses and more than 3000 eggs.

Just now the monster went berserk and its huge tail stirred up the lake water. Many aquatic creatures suffered the disaster and were now floating on the lake. Ye Muxue fished them all out and checked whether they were edible!
……

No. 24 Tongluo Lane, Beijing.

Huo Hongbing stood in front of the gate, staring at it for a long time. Not giving up, he walked forward and picked up the door knocker and knocked heavily three times!
Still no response.

Ye Muxue had been out of contact for more than a month, and every time he knocked on the door there was no response, which caused his plan to fail before it could be carried out.

"Brother Hongbing, go back."

Sun Li watched for a long time and couldn't help herself: "If Ye Muxue comes back, she will definitely go to see her brother and sister-in-law. Uncle Wu will definitely be the first to know. We can only wait slowly."

Huo Hongbing nodded slightly, turned around and got on the jeep on the side of the road, and Sun Li hurriedly followed... The car door slammed shut, and the jeep drove away.

Diagonally opposite is a state-owned dumpling restaurant. Sitting at a table facing the street, Lao Li was looking at the cabbage and pork dumplings in front of him... The aroma was tangy, but he had no appetite at all. He was thinking about how to make up his mind.

Opposite her sat a middle-aged woman wearing a proper cadre uniform and a tweed coat draped over the back of the chair next to her... This was definitely high-end clothing at the time.

The woman saw Huo Hongbing knocking on the door just now. After Huo Hongbing and Sun Li left, the woman retracted her gaze and looked at Lao Li: "Recently, Lao Huo has been complaining that his son often runs away and has a bad influence...Does he always run here?"

Old Li nodded quickly, but then shook his head: "Sister Wei, Hong Bing is heading here, but it's definitely not a bad influence. Besides, Hong Bing is looking for someone here purely for work, not for personal reasons."

"Old Li, that's not what you told me before." Wei Yufen... Huo Hongbing's mother, looked at Old Li with disapproval.

"Sister Wei, I misunderstood..." Old Li was in tears now. He couldn't explain this matter clearly.

"Old Li, don't make that expression. It's easy for people to misunderstand."

Wei Yufen was in a good mood and even joked: "Do you know this... the situation of this family? Keep it confidential? I have the authority to do so, right?"

Lao Li didn't want to say it at first, but... he still followed his heart.

"The head of the household is 18 years old, his name is Ye Muxue, and he is an educated youth who just returned to the city..."

Old Li smacked his lips and said, "That's all we know for now."

Wei Yufen looked at him suspiciously: "When did you take over the work of the Street Office? Does this Ye Muxue have any special abilities?"

"Okay, I won't ask anymore."

Seeing the embarrassed expression on Lao Li's face, Wei Yufen laughed: "I won't ask anymore... You really don't know where this girl went?"

"really do not know."

Old Li paused and said, "She might have gone out to collect herbs."

"What kind of medicine? Is she a doctor? Or is she sick? Is it serious?"

Looking at Lao Li's expression, Wei Yufen confirmed where the problem lay.

...Yu Bin asked the same question again. In front of him, Ye Muhan's face was beaten like a pig's head.

"I said, is there something wrong with you?"

He glared at Yu Bin, "You want to seduce my sister, and then you beat me up. Don't you believe I will ruin this?"

Yu Bin slapped him on the face with his glove: "You're making trouble! It's one thing for me to give you money, but it's another thing for you to cheat me out of my money. Tell me, when will he come back?"

"I really do not know!"

Ye Muhan felt pained and angry: "I don't even know where she lives now, how can I know when she will come back?"

"really do not know?"

“It’s true.”

"Tell me when she gets back. Go away!"

Yu Bin sent Ye Muhan away, and turned around to see a younger brother smiling at him...but that was not funny.

"Laugh at your mother!" Yu Bin was smoking a cigarette from the cigarette box and then threw the cigarette at his younger brother.

"no……"

The younger brother reacted very quickly and caught the cigarette, "Brother Bin, since you want to pursue sister-in-law... Comrade Ye, how about punishing her brother like this... okay?"

"What's the point of chasing him? He's my master!"

Yu Bin took another cigarette and lit it. "Did you see the railing on the Jinshui Bridge that day? Five fingerprints, made by force. This is a warning!"

The younger brother was stunned: "Brother Bin, you said that was made by... Comrade Ye?"

"How can it be false?"

Yu Bin exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "Once we learn this skill, we brothers will be able to walk around the capital with our heads held high."

"We are walking sideways now..."

The younger brother muttered quietly, but Yu Bin glared at him and he swallowed the rest of his words.

……

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

Ye Muxue, who was grilling fish, suddenly sneezed several times in succession. She rubbed her nose and looked up at the sky... She was sure that someone was talking about her, but she was not sure who it was.

The fish in the lake are very big, with the smallest one being about one meter long. It is hard to tell what species they are, but most of them are edible. Although these fish cannot be called monsters, their meat contains some spiritual energy and should taste good.

For example, the fish she was grilling... looked a bit like a sticky fish, round and plump, with a head similar to a snake's head, as thick as an adult's arm and nearly two meters long. After Ye Muxue washed and peeled it, she skewered it on a branch and grilled it.

She carried all the seasonings in her storage bag...salt, cumin, five-spice powder, chili powder, and everything else.

Now the fish is basically cooked, the skin is golden and the meat is snow-white... The most important thing is that the fish has only one big thorn running through the front and back, and no small thorns.

Ye Muxue cut a piece with a knife, and the first thing she ate was the fish skin... She originally thought that the fish skin was tough and difficult to eat even after grilling, but the fact was... it was crispy in the mouth, just like rice crust, and the snow-white fish meat was not only fragrant, but also had an excellent taste. After eating a few pieces of fish, her whole body felt warm.

In a flash, the nearly two-meter-long grilled fish was reduced to pieces of fish bones left on the ground.

Perhaps it was the residual power of the monster that prevented any creature from coming to this area to hunt. There were more than a dozen raptors that looked only as big as fists circling in the sky, but they did not dare to come down. After Ye Muxue finished eating the grilled fish, she picked most of the Yuanling grass along the coast, leaving only some seedlings that had not yet matured.

At this time, the lake had returned to calm. Ye Muxue expanded her spiritual sense and found that the lake was very deep and there were many fish in it. Among them, there was even a fish that was more than two meters long. And this fish seemed to be able to sense Ye Muxue's detection. The fish flicked its tail and swam away.

After a careful search and finding nothing else valuable, Ye Muxue continued her journey of exploring the secret realm.

Wow~

Ye Muxue had just walked out fifty or sixty meters when she heard a loud noise from the lake. She looked back and took a breath... Three or four giant turtles as big as round tables emerged from the lake and slowly crawled towards the shore. The eagle head on their heads showed that they were definitely not vegetarians.

"Shh~ I can't afford to offend you."

Following the principle of less trouble is worse than more, she walked forward silently, pretending not to have seen anyone who didn't provoke her.

"Gah~"

Suddenly, an eagle's cry was heard in the sky. Ye Muxue looked up and saw more than a dozen birds of prey circling and falling, getting closer and closer... Suddenly, the ground shook, and those birds of prey seemed to be frightened by something, and they flapped their wings and flew high.

Oh no! Those were three huge rhinos running towards her... The gray-white beasts roared, with a pair of small but gleaming eyes, rushing towards her with a clear goal.

Tongtianxi!

Ye Muxue took a look at the three big horns lined up in front and behind the tip of its nose. The front one was three feet high and sparkled, which made people feel cold at the sight of it.

hide?
She was not going to hide, as she could not take shortcuts in every battle. Twelve giant hooves were flying, like three heavy trucks rolling towards Ye Muxue. The heavy hooves sounded like war drums, and sand was flying... A sword light suddenly rose, and Ye Muxue summoned the Green Scale Sword. With the activation of her true energy, the sword flickered with light. In a blink of an eye, the light was sparkling, and a sea of ​​swords suddenly covered the three rhinos at the same time.

"Hum~"

Amid the sword light, three roars were heard one after another, blood spurted out, and a rhinoceros rushed out of the sea of ​​swords, turned to the side and fled desperately. One of the big horns on the tip of its nose was broken off at the root... and it actually escaped.

Ye Muxue ignored the fleeing Tongtian Rhino. She put away her flying sword and turned it into a sword light to protect herself. Then she looked at the two Tongtian Rhinos... At this time, the two Tongtian Rhinos were deader than dead. One had its head and body separated, and the other had a small hole on its head.

"Gah~"

Just as she was thinking about how to deal with the two bodies, an eagle cry was heard above her head. When Ye Muxue looked up, she saw a bird of prey swooping down from the sky like a meteor!
