Chapter 149 Terrifying Deep Mountains

"Ouch..."

The wolf pack has appeared!
Their voices are extremely penetrating; they are no ordinary wild beasts!

This is a group of demonic beasts, probably numbering in the hundreds!

The direction he was in was the place where he killed the giant tiger.

Danger is not far from Li Yunjing!
Hundreds of demonic beasts gathered together, all of the same race, with strict discipline, formed a powerful fighting force.

Li Yunjing also had to be careful when facing this team-oriented monster race.

"Forget it! Let those beasts have that giant, striped tiger!"

After thinking it over, Li Yunjing realized that going back to fight the wolf pack would be a losing proposition, so he had no choice but to reluctantly give up his prey.

He didn't even bother to rest and quickly traversed the mountains.

The air here is thick with the stench of blood, which could easily attract monsters. Li Yunjing must find another place to stay.

His figure kept moving, and half an hour later, Li Yunjing arrived at the cave where he had once raided the cultivator.

Upon arriving, Li Yunjing first surveyed the surrounding area to confirm that there was nothing unusual before proceeding to the vicinity of the cave entrance.

Li Yunjing stood at the door, scanning the area inside with his divine sense. Within a range of eleven miles, there was no sign of any living creatures.

Of course, Li Yunjing was not completely at ease. Sometimes, even divine sense is not omnipotent!

For cultivators, there are more or less techniques, secret arts, or treasures that can resist divine sense.

Under normal circumstances, Li Yunjing's divine sense can scan everything within an eleven-mile radius. However, in reality, it is greatly reduced when encountering demons or cultivators.

If you encounter a powerful person, it might be completely useless.

However, for the time being, Li Yunjing can be somewhat relieved.

He waited for a while to make sure there was no movement inside before entering the cave.

This time, for safety reasons, Li Yunjing wore both the "Azure Sea Listening to the Waves Sword" and the "Azure Moon Taoist Robe".

As for the other top-grade magical artifacts, they were all put into use as well.

Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would be astonished by the treasures Li Yunjing possessed.

Li Yunjing could guarantee that, in terms of the value of his attire, neither of the two Foundation Establishment Realm managers in "Youlan Market" could match his wealth.

Once deep in the mountains, he wouldn't encounter anyone, so he naturally wasn't afraid of revealing his whereabouts.

Safety is more important than anything else here!

Only a set of top-grade magical artifacts and spiritual weapons could give Li Yunjing a sense of security.

That night, Li Yunjing set up an "improved spirit-gathering array" beside himself. He did not use the function of absorbing spiritual energy, but instead activated the function of concealing aura.

In this desolate wilderness, inside a pitch-black cave, Li Yunjing dared not cultivate, nor dared to disturb the spiritual energy, lest he attract the attention of some demonic beasts.

I sat quietly cross-legged all night, rested my mind, and felt that time had almost passed and it should be dawn outside.

Li Yunjing then emerged from the cave and continued onward, following the map's directions.

The journey was fraught with danger.

Li Yunjing had only walked three miles when he discovered that demonic beasts were blocking his way; several patrolling wolf demons had appeared ahead.

Li Yunjing moved swiftly, his sword flashing. In just two breaths, all five mid-tier first-level wolf demons were killed, leaving behind a pile of corpses.

"Shh! Shh! Shh!"

After a dozen or so sword strikes, the wolf demons were completely dismembered. Li Yunjing now possessed the skill of Bao Ding dissecting an ox; his speed and precision were simply superb.

These five demon wolves are full of treasures, worth hundreds of spirit stones. They can be used to refine magical artifacts, draw talismans, and set up formations. Their entire bodies are valuable items, and they shouldn't be wasted.

"Get out of here quickly! I don't know what happened, why are there so many monsters? Did that bastard Cong Rujin lie to me?"

The thought flashed through Li Yunjing's mind.

He continued deeper into the mountains, and along the way, Li Yunjing discovered many strange things. Monsters appeared everywhere, and there were even human footprints left behind.

Along the way, Li Yunjing had already seen dozens of monster corpses from various races.

Among the corpses of these monsters were even two human corpses. These two people were in a terrible state, their bodies mutilated and severed by the monsters.

Only a few features reveal that these two people are male.

As for the others, there was no way to identify them.

However, two storage bags were unexpectedly found near the two bodies, which was a pleasant surprise.

Li Yunjing used the "Breaking Qi Spear" to lift it up, and after confirming that there was no danger, he used his magic to open it and scanned it, but there wasn't much of value in it.

Inside their storage bags, besides some ordinary pills, were a few second-rate magical artifacts and a few second-rate cultivation manuals, as well as some spiritual herbs and the corpses of demonic beasts.

Clearly, these two people entered the "Youlan Mountains" to collect mountain delicacies, but were surrounded and killed by monsters.

"Ugh!"

With a sigh, Li Yunjing frowned, but his steps remained firm as he continued towards the depths of the mountains.

The edge of the "Youlan Mountains" is already extremely dangerous.

That "Thunderstone Mine" must be at least 300 miles deeper!

Once we get there, it will naturally be even more dangerous!
The road ahead was difficult, and Li Yunjing began to feel tense.

Li Yunjing was already somewhat prepared. As he ventured deeper into the world, he would encounter more and more of the three types of demonic beasts he had just encountered.

Even demonic beasts equivalent to the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Realm will definitely appear.

What Li Yunjing is worried about now is not these first-tier Qi Refining stage demonic beasts, but those powerful second-tier demonic beasts!
This is the real problem.

Within the "Youlan Mountains," it's not a one-on-one battle; he might encounter a large number of demonic beasts attacking him. If a second-tier demonic beast appears, it will be extremely dangerous.

Despite his heavy heart and the difficult road ahead, Li Yunjing remained steadfast and continued to move forward!

In the blink of an eye, it got dark, and another day had passed.

That night, Li Yunjing dared not rest.

Under the moonlight, he continued to venture deeper into the "Youlan Mountains," and the maps he had purchased from the "Youlan Market" were no longer of much use.

This has exceeded the limits of those independent cultivators; they have never ventured this deep into the "Youlan Mountains."

At night, some monsters also attacked Li Yunjing. Some terrifying "vampire bats" were so numerous that they blotted out the sky, chasing Li Yunjing and making him run around everywhere.

Finally, he saw a small river, dove into the water, and escaped disaster.

In the darkness, the "Orchid Mountains" are even more terrifying than during the day!
When Li Yunjing ventured deep into the area within a hundred miles of the "Youlan Mountains," he encountered many different groups of demonic beasts.

Compared to the enormous packs of wolves, tigers, and leopards, some centipedes, poisonous bees, and giant ants are even more terrifying.

These things appear in quantities of hundreds or thousands, countless in total.

Li Yunjing encountered this situation several times, but he managed to deal with it only by a narrow margin. He dared not linger and repeatedly turned back, changing his route.

These dangers were too terrifying; upon seeing the demon horde, Li Yunjing never considered stopping the battle.

Fortunately, Li Yunjing was proficient in the Five Elements in his cultivation and had thunder magic as his trump card. He had no weaknesses, which allowed him to escape and avoid danger time and time again.

After only three days in the "Youlan Mountains", Li Yunjing's spirits were already somewhat low.

During the three days that Li Yunjing spent deep inside the "Youlan Mountains", he had almost no time to rest.

He had been restoring his energy and spirit through meditation, and fortunately, he had many pills on him, especially the "antidote pills," which provided him with tremendous help.

This is the only way to maintain a high standard.

"Boom!"

When Li Yunjing had traveled 280 li, a dark cloud drifted in from the sky, accompanied by rolling thunder.

"Great! It's finally going to rain!"

Li Yunjing looked up at the sky and was overjoyed.

It's true that when heaven closes all doors, the appearance of dark clouds and lightning at this moment is like a blessing from heaven!
"Splash!" Not long after, as the silver snakes flashed, a torrential downpour began from the dark clouds.

Heavenly thunder is extremely powerful and yang, deterring evil spirits and possessing boundless power.

In such a natural environment, all the monsters hid away and dared not come out.

"Boom!"

In the sky, silver snakes danced wildly, and huge bolts of lightning struck down one after another near the mountains.

Li Yunjing noticed that the place described on Cong Rujin's map, about twenty miles away, seemed to attract the most lightning power.

According to Li Yunjing's observation, at least five bolts of lightning struck that valley!
"Good! It seems Cong Rujin didn't lie to me!"

Li Yunjing wiped the rain off his face in the rain and said happily.

At this point, he no longer cared about his disheveled appearance.

Every bit of magical power was incredibly precious, so Li Yunjing was naturally reluctant to use it just to keep the rainwater out of his body.

Anyway, he was protected by the "Azure Moon Daoist Robe," and only his head got a little wet from the rain. What was such a small matter?
The rain was heavy and wouldn't stop anytime soon, so Li Yunjing wasn't in a hurry to continue his journey.

He sat cross-legged on a large rock and activated the "Five Thunder Orthodox Method." Instantly, a thunderous magnetic field condensed around his body.

"Boom!"

In the void, rolling thunder roared, as if sensing the unusual situation below. Nine silver serpents streaked across the sky and slashed down at Li Yunjing!

"comfortable!"

A bolt of heavenly lightning struck his body, and Li Yunjing felt incredibly comfortable.

Those wisps of electricity coursed through his body, while the powerful lightning energy was stored in his upper, middle, and lower dantian.

At this moment, even amidst the sea of ​​lightning, Li Yunjing was no longer afraid of being ambushed by demonic beasts.

He quickly entered a meditative state, achieving a state of oneness with heaven and earth, resonating and merging with the rolling thunder power above the nine heavens, guiding the thunder from the sky to strike down towards him!

"Boom!"

Nine bolts of lightning struck in succession, restoring Li Yunjing to his peak condition. His body was now filled with lightning power, preventing him from absorbing any more.

The power he currently possesses is enough to unleash dozens of "Five Elements Divine Thunders" in succession!
At this moment, there was an abundance of thunderous power, and Li Yunjing began to use it to temper his body.

Countless electric currents flowed into his muscles, bones, internal organs, blood, acupoints, and meridians, stimulating the potential within Li Yunjing's body through the workings of nature.

Cultivating in the midst of thunderstorms is the best training ground for cultivators with lightning spiritual roots, and also the greatest opportunity for lightning cultivators!

"Boom!"

Li Yunjing's physique is being transformed by the heavenly thunder, turning into the "Heavenly Thunder Physique".

His every move carries the power of lightning.

Every punch and kick he throws contains the power of thunder; if a cultivator were to be struck by it, it would be like being struck by lightning!
This transformation lasted for an hour. Li Yunjing only ended his cultivation session when he felt the rain subside from its peak.

Li Yunjing got up and continued forward!

Within the dark clouds, silver snakes streaked across the void, and all demons had to retreat under the overwhelming might of Heaven!
This is Li Yunjing's best opportunity. He must seize this god-given chance to enter "Thunder Valley"!
Before long, braving the wind and rain, Li Yunjing arrived at a river marked on the map!
Once you swim across this river, you can reach the Thunder Valley.

At this moment, bolts of lightning were flashing continuously on the opposite bank of the river.

"right here!"

With a "plop," Li Yunjing plunged into the river.

His aura changed instantly; his entire body was now filled with water-based magic, merging with the river water. Like a swimming fish, he darted through the water at a speed no less than that on land.

The violent storms made the river extremely unstable, with turbulent undercurrents everywhere.

Before long, a group of beautiful, palm-sized, silver river fish swam towards Li Yunjing.

"Oh no! This thing doesn't seem to be a good one!"

Li Yunjing was startled. He saw a group of fish in the distance open their mouths, revealing sharp teeth.

Li Yunjing could tell at a glance that this was no ordinary fish.

It's a piranha with demonic powers!
"Gui Water Divine Thunder!"

How could Li Yunjing dare to let the fish get close to him and bite him?

With a flick of his wrist, he condensed five fist-sized "Gui Water Divine Thunder" orbs into his hand, which emitted a "zzzz" sound.

As soon as Li Yunjing activated his magic power, bolts of "Gui Water Divine Thunder" flew out, heading towards the group of silver piranhas.

"Boom boom boom..."

Five loud bangs followed, and after the thunder subsided, the river water, which was now teeming with countless piranhas, was already stained a deep red.

The strong smell of blood made Li Yunjing frown.

Having resolved these troubles, Li Yunjing, still in the water, continued to use the "Five Thunder Orthodox Method" to guide the power of thunder from the sky, striking the river water.

Originally, there were many ferocious monsters in the river.

But at that moment, two bolts of lightning struck the river, electrocuting countless aquatic creatures. This terrified the intelligent beasts, who scattered in all directions, no longer daring to approach Li Yunjing.

With the help of the heavenly thunder, Li Yunjing's situation became safe.

Watching the flashes of lightning and the blue arcs of electricity shimmering in the water, Li Yunjing felt that these were the most beautiful flowers in the world!
"Whoosh whoosh..."

With only three miles to go before reaching the other side, suddenly, countless water arrows shot towards Li Yunjing!

Meanwhile, the raindrops in the void were decreasing, the sky was gradually clearing, and it seemed that the thunderstorm was about to pass.

At this critical moment, a demonic beast seized the opportunity to attack Li Yunjing!
"Huh? It's a giant tortoise?"

Li Yunjing was startled and couldn't help but exclaim, "This turtle is too big!"

This giant tortoise was entirely black, with a snake-like head and a pair of scarlet eyes that flashed with a cold light as it stared fiercely at Li Yunjing.

The giant tortoise was incredibly fast; it paddled along its limbs from ten miles away in the waterway and arrived in the blink of an eye!

The giant tortoise opened its mouth wide, revealing sharp teeth, and kept spitting out water arrows at Li Yunjing!
This tortoise is a full ten zhang in size, like a large ship. Especially its shell, which has regular and clear patterns with mysterious designs.

This thing is definitely not an easy opponent!

"It's actually a second-tier demonic beast!"

Li Yunjing was shocked by the giant tortoise's defensive capabilities; this thing seemed quite difficult to deal with!

"Fight to the death! If you don't let me land on the other side, then you are my enemy, you who are blocking my way! Kill them all!"

Faced with this incredibly defensive giant tortoise, Li Yunjing's eyes turned red. He unleashed his Five Elements magic, forming a five-colored light shield to protect himself. As for the "Diamond Talisman" and "Stone Armor Talisman," they had already been activated, enveloping him on the outermost layer.

And in his hand, the "Azure Sea Listening to the Waves Sword" splits apart with a single stroke, and the river water cleaves!

Li Yunjing drew his sword and slashed directly at the enemy!
Since we've run into a tough opponent, let's fight our way through!
He had already reached the outer edge of "Thunder Valley". At this point, no one could stop him!
Let alone second-tier demonic beasts, we'll kill even Foundation Establishment experts!

At this moment, Li Yunjing's combat power soared in his frenzy, his blood and qi were boiling, and his spirit and energy reached their peak!
Seemingly sensing its master's determination, the "Azure Sea Listening to the Waves Sword" emitted a buzzing sound and vibrated slightly.

The sharp, emerald-green sword light pulsed continuously, reaching a length of ten zhang, and fell directly towards the giant tortoise's shell!
"Roar……"

Seeing that Li Yunjing, a mere ant, was actually attacking it, the giant tortoise roared angrily, its eyes filled with murderous intent!
The enormous body moved swiftly, stirring up the river water, and crashed into Li Yunjing.

A powerful aura of demonic energy and a foul stench emanated from the river, creating enormous whirlpools. On the surface, a fierce storm raged, howling winds and the cries of ghosts and gods echoed.

Such power would terrify an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator to death without even a fight.

In the face of a second-tier demonic beast, an ordinary Qi Refining Realm cultivator has no choice but to run away.

Li Yunjing, however, was different. As a prodigy of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and with the best-grade spiritual weapon bestowed upon him by Elder Han, he was very bold and vowed to compete with second-tier demonic beasts!

"when……"

The giant tortoise shell collided with the "Azure Sea Listening to the Waves Sword," producing a tremendous sound that completely drowned out the roaring river currents and the sound of the storm on the river surface!

Li Yunjing was thrown backwards while still in the river.

His right arm began to tremble uncontrollably, and he felt a metallic taste in his throat as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
