Chapter 29
A month later, in a dense forest somewhere outside the Wanling Mountain Range.

I saw a figure moving back and forth in the forest, the figure flashed from time to time, paused from time to time, following the movement, the figure seemed to blend into the surrounding towering trees, and when it reappeared, it had already passed through another ancient tree come out.

"Yes, this wooden shield technique is really mysterious."

When the figure walked out of an ancient tree again, it seemed to be talking to itself.

This person was Dongfang Mo who left the sect a month ago and came to the edge of the Wanling Mountain Range.

He walked alone all the way, and Xingwu and Xingwu walked for several months because they were not familiar with the surroundings.

Now, with the help of the wood escape technique that has just touched the threshold, as well as his own first-level cultivation base, within a month or so, he has come to the city where he met Xingwu, and even stepped into this city a few days ago. The edge of the Wanling Mountains.

Along the way, he naturally encountered some blind beasts, and he just took this opportunity to try out his pricking technique, the vine armor and the power of the fire ion. In front of the law, it is as simple as chopping melons and vegetables.

Thinking about it, except for spirit beasts, ordinary wild beasts would no longer pose any threat to him.

That's why he was able to walk all the way without fear, and walked to the outskirts of the Wanling Mountain Range.

"It should be in this direction!"

When Dongfang Mo climbed over a mountain range again, his figure paused, and he merged into an ancient tree tens of feet high. When he reappeared, he was already standing on the lush branches of the ancient tree.

At this moment, I look into the distance, carefully trying to find the direction where I came all the way.

But looking into the vast forest, he could only vaguely discern that he came from the southwest direction that day, and now he could only follow the approximate direction.

In this way, several days passed, and on this day, when he came to a rushing river, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"found it!"

The last time he walked along a big river for nearly a hundred miles, it couldn't have been such a coincidence, there were two big rivers.

Then as long as you follow the river upstream, you will definitely find the lake and the cliff that fell into the lake.

So the wind blows from the soles of the feet, and if there are jagged cliffs, they can use the mystery of the wood escape technique to walk past them, just like walking on flat ground.

Last time, it took two or three days to walk a hundred miles, but now it took only three hours to see a huge lake in the distance. On the edge of the lake, there was indeed a cliff nearly a hundred feet high.

Dongfang Mo was overjoyed and galloped forward.

But just when his figure was about to approach the lake, he suddenly paused, then turned his gaze to a big tree surrounded by one person, thought for a while, touched the storage bag at his waist, pulled out the fire ions, and He swung his sword at the big tree.

Not long after, a rough boat was chiseled out with fire ions.

Dongfang Mo's magic power moved, kicked the boat into the lake, then jumped up, stood on the boat, and rowed down the cliff.

When he came to the bottom of the cliff, he looked at the thousands of caves around him, but he didn't feel anxious at all. Instead, he began to search slowly. After nearly two hours of effort, he finally found one that was completely untouched. It stopped at the eye-catching hole.

Looking at the still clear mark on the edge of the cave, Dongfang Mo pressed his inner excitement, looked around, and then quickly entered the cave.

After walking along the cave for less than ten feet, it was already pitch black. Dongfang Mo took out the night pearl that he had prepared earlier and continued to move forward.

In the quiet cave, there was the sound of rushing water from time to time, other than that, I could only hear my own breathing.

After walking for several miles, Dongfang Mo couldn't help frowning.

"Could it be wrong?"

With such a long distance, it should be close to the lotus platform where the old monk sat cross-legged, but there is nothing here, nothing.

Just when he was wondering if he had gone the wrong way, he suddenly saw a big corner in front of him.

Seeing this, he was relieved. Last time he had some impression of the corner here, it should be not far ahead.

So he kept moving his hands, and walked forward for nearly a cup of tea, only then did he see that the waterway in front of him suddenly widened. When he drove the wooden boat to this place, he found that the narrow dark river had suddenly opened up.

"what?"

If he remembered correctly, this place should be the position of the lotus platform where the old monk sat cross-legged that day, but now the beam of light above his head has disappeared, and the lotus platform has disappeared, let alone the old monk and the little elephant. up.

Just when he was wondering, with the light of the night pearl, he saw a huge shadow not far ahead.

Seeing this, Dongfang Mo was suddenly vigilant, shook the fire ion in his hand, and walked slowly towards the huge shadow.

When he approached a few feet, he showed a look of astonishment.

"This is……"

I saw that the huge shadow was not some kind of living animal or beast. With the faint light emitted by the night pearl, Dongfang Mo could see that it was thousands of white bones.

Some of the dead bones looked like the skeletons of wild animals, and some were obviously human skulls. They were densely piled up together, forming bone mountains several feet high. Therefore, the huge shadow he had just seen was this pile. A pile of bones.

Dongfang Mo couldn't help wondering under the horror in his heart. If he guessed correctly, the position of the bone was the lotus platform where the old monk sat cross-legged, but now the fragrant lotus is gone, and it has become this eerie place. pile of bones.

He has always been cautious, but now the environment he is in is closed and dark. If he doesn't understand the situation of the pile of bones, he can't feel at ease here.

So with a swipe of his hand, he walked towards the pile of dry bones, jumped up, and stepped on the dry bones a little unsteadily.

"Kick-kick!"

Immediately, he trampled on many rotten bones, and the sound echoed in the spacious river, which seemed particularly strange.

Dongfang Mo held the night pearl in his left hand and the fire ions in his right hand. Following the continuous cracking sound from his feet, he walked towards the depths of the bones.

The more he walked forward, the more he was sure that this place was the lotus platform where the old monk was, because the size of the bone pile was exactly the same as the lotus pond back then.

It was only tens of feet away, and they came to the end of the pile of bones. Looking around carefully, there was nothing strange except for the thick bones.

"Could it be the dead bones wrapped in those ice floes?"

Dongfang Mo secretly guessed that in this dark river that day, there were countless ice floes, large and small, floating there, and there were many corpses of wild animals in the ice floes.But besides this bone mountain, there is no shadow of floating ice here now. If so, it would make sense.

Seeing this, he couldn't help shaking his head, so he turned around and went back, and finally rowed the canoe down the depths of the dark river.

Not long after, he felt that the water flow under the wooden boat gradually changed direction, and Dongfang Mo was overjoyed. If he expected it well, bypassing this detour would be the purpose of his trip.

"Wow hoo hoo!"

When he was rowing the canoe around the bend of the dark river, he suddenly felt his eyes brighten, and a faint white light hit his face.

Dongfang Mo opened his mouth wide, looking at the glowing silver-white objects inlaid on the stone wall of the dark river, and the aura that almost turned into substance at the tip of his nose. Although he had expected it in his heart, he could not help but feel the The scull still fell into the water with a "plop".

"Get rich!!!"

His eyes were fixed on the front, like a monk who hadn't eaten meat for a long time, smelling the fragrance of wine and meat.

"It's mine, it's all mine."

He didn't have the intention to pick up the oar, so he used the fire ions in his hand to plan and stir it for a while, shouting towards the spirit stones embedded in the stone wall.

"Gollum!"

He kept swallowing his saliva, and every time he buckled a spirit stone, he would put it in the storage bag without hesitation, and his expression was as mad as if possessed by a demon. Who can experience this feeling.

It wasn't until he was finally exhausted and out of breath like a dead dog that he lay down on the canoe and remained motionless.

Looking at the thousands of spirit stones in the storage bag, Dongfang Mo couldn't help grinning, no matter how tiring this kind of work is, he can accept it.

And when he completely recovered from this crazy joy, it was already several days later.

At this time, Dongfang Mo was already sitting cross-legged among the piles of dead bones, and a large area around him had been vacated, filled with crystal-clear spirit stones. Looking closely, it was no less than a thousand yuan.

Bursts of milky white aura surrounded him. Even if he didn't intentionally absorb it, he could still feel the fullness of the aura penetrated into his body. Under the envelopment of this full aura, his cultivation speed was more than ten times faster than before. , can be called horror.

Therefore, in one go, in less than ten days, he opened up several spiritual veins all over his body and reached the second level of Qi training.

But at this time, he stopped and began to slowly consolidate his cultivation, and turned to practice the pricking technique and the vine armor.

Immersed in such tireless cultivation, nearly two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

……

On this day, Dongfang Mo slowly opened his eyes from the meditation, breathed out a mouthful of turbid air, and felt refreshed. After careful internal inspection, he still reached the third level of Qi training without knowing it.

During this period, he found that it seemed that the third level of advanced qi training was much more difficult than the second level of advanced qi training. It took him nearly two months to finally break through the shackles of the third level of qi training.

Dongfang Mo guessed that, compared to the fourth or even fifth level of advanced Qi training later, the corresponding difficulty would also increase exponentially.

But feeling that the spiritual power in his body was more than ten times full, he felt that everything was worth it.

As he waved his hand, his spiritual power shot out, turning into a light blue thorn that was hard to see with the naked eye, and it sank into the surrounding stone walls in the blink of an eye, piercing through to a depth of nearly ten feet. The thorn transformed from spiritual power This dissipated.

Not only that, the mana in his body moved again, forming several layers of quaint rattan armor around him, and the rattan armor changed from light to thick, and spread to the whole body, wrapping himself into a rattan cocoon in the blink of an eye .

Feeling the solid armor-like vine cocoons around him, Dongfang Mo nodded secretly, showing a satisfied expression, and at the same time with his spiritual power absorbed, the vine armor-wrapped cocoons dissipated again.

There was a burst of excitement in his heart. In this situation where he didn't need to consider the exhaustion of the spiritual energy in his body, but needed to meditate to restore the spiritual energy. Dacheng realm is slowly climbing.

"This speed, I don't know how it compares to Nangong Niangpi!" Dongfang Mo thought in his heart.

But just when he was secretly happy, his expression suddenly changed, his right hand took advantage of the opportunity to grab the fire ion placed aside, and slashed down behind him with a sword.

"call!"

A dazzling sword light instantly illuminated the entire dark river.

Under the fiery red sword light, the surrounding white bones glowed with cold light, making it even more strange and terrifying.

"Crack!"

The pair of white bones behind him were chopped into a pile of debris in the blink of an eye under the sword light of the fire ion.

"Who!!"

Dongfang Mo's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly looked behind him.
