Chapter 74: Foggy Mountain Valley
"So that's it!" Li Muran smiled faintly and said nothing more.
The two men of the Sword Spirit Sect bowed to him and slowly retreated until they retreated more than a hundred feet away before turning around and leaving.
After the two left, Li Muran walked to where they were, stretched out his finger and shot a magic trick, and suddenly many talismans flashed around him.
He had already set up a talisman array here. If the two of them wanted to be unfavorable to him, Li Muran would immediately inspire the talisman array and blow them to pieces. However, the two of them seemed to have no intention of dealing with Li Muran from beginning to end, so Li Muran let them go and saved dozens of talismans himself.
After collecting the spirit skin essence of Liuguang Beast, Li Muran speeded up and traveled through the monster forest.
After leaving the forest, Li Muran sacrificed the talisman paper crane to fly low, and at the same time took out the two-star vital energy talisman to continue to replenish vital energy for the sword transformation talisman.
Along the way, Li Muran met a senior sister of the same school. After rejecting the invitation from his fellow travelers, he soon met a senior brother of Damingsi who flew from the opposite side. The two looked at each other for a moment and "passed by each other" and watched each other vigilantly. During this process, they said nothing.
Later, he met several late-stage disciples of Qi and Meridians, but basically they went their own way in peace and stability.
Because Li Muran also has a late stage of Qi and Meridian cultivation, this saves him a lot of trouble.
But if a disciple in the middle stage of Qi and Meridian encounters other monks in the Four Sacred Valley, he may be inflamed. There is only one reason - others think that you are not strong enough and can easily kill and seize treasures!
Therefore, in the valley, those disciples who are alone and have weak strength always hide and hunt for treasures, for fear of meeting other monks; some simply hide in secret places and never leave until the ban on the Four Sacred Valley is opened again and leave here.
Those monks with certain strength can only search for treasures in the valley. However, when they meet other monks with equal strength, they will be more vigilant, but they will not take action easily, and they will often leave tacitly in the end.
When he first entered the valley, Li Muran had a mid-stage Qi and meridian cultivation, so he did not dare to easily sacrifice the talisman paper crane to avoid attracting the attention of other monks. Now he is a late-stage Qi and meridian disciple, and others dare not easily cause trouble for him.
Two days later, Li Muran successfully arrived at Wuluan Valley. On the topographic map, Wuluan Valley is a dark area marked as very dangerous, and most disciples will bypass this place far away; in other words, only Li Muran, Fang Jianqiu, and the Four Heroes of Danxin Sect who knew that there were secret treasures hidden in the valley would venture into this place.
Standing on the peak outside the Wuluan Valley and looking down, there was a thick fog in front of you, all white, and you couldn't see the scenery in the valley clearly. It was a very dangerous move to fly on a talisman paper crane in this environment with limited vision. If you encounter a sneak attack and the talisman paper crane is destroyed, the disciples riding may be smashed to pieces.
Li Muran took out a pink translucent pill the size of a cherry, put it in his mouth, and then slowly walked into the valley.
The thick fog in the valley that never dissipates all year round is actually a kind of miasma, and it contains toxicity. If you inhale too much, it will make people dizzy and even gradually become coma. The Dan Pill contained in Li Muran is called Baiqing Pill, which is a kind of antidote to miasma. Since he had known that the Drunken God Fruit was in the Wuluan Valley, he naturally came prepared.
It is dusk now, and the sky is already dark. After Li Muran walked into the miasma, he felt that the surroundings were white. At most, he could only see within ten feet of clearly. The scenery twenty feet away became extremely blurred, and no matter how far away, he could not see anything.
After Li Muran carefully walked out for more than ten miles, the sky was dark and he could not see anything in the miasma. He had to take out the night pearl and illuminate the surroundings within ten feet.
At the same time, he also summoned the spirit beast Xiaobai. After all, Xiaoyue Wolf is a monster with night habits. He still has excellent vision at night and has a sharp sense of smell, which can help Li Muran discover danger in advance.
However, illuminating a night pearl in this dark miasma valley seemed to have become a very eye-catching target. In the darkness, there were already many threats that had noticed Li Muran's every move.
An hour later, Li Muran leaned against a towering cliff, holding a magic shield in his hand, and a thick golden light shield was covered with his body. He frowned and stared at the pairs of eyes that were emitting a faint green light ten feet away in front of him.
These are fire mongooses, a group of second-level monsters that appear day and night, and they like to hunt pythons as food.
Fire Eater is born not afraid of all kinds of snake venom and has strong anti-venom ability. The venom of miasma in this valley has no effect on them at all. And because they devour snake gallbladders for many years, their eyes become terrifying and have excellent vision at night. Coupled with their keen sense of smell and agile body, they become the overlords in this foggy valley!
If you encounter this group of mongooses in other places, Li Muran will not be worried at all; but it will be very difficult in this harsh foggy valley.
After Li Muran encountered a fire mongoose, he did not take action immediately. Instead, he first opened a bloody path and retreated to the rock wall with his back against the rock wall to avoid being attacked from both sides.
More than twenty fire mongooses slowly surrounded Li Muran in a fan shape. They had "experienced" Li Muran's Three Flames technique just now, so they did not dare to rush to attack.
The spirit beast Xiaobai stood in front of Li Muran, with a pair of silver pupils staring at the enemy in front of him coldly, gasping for a low breath, and his hind legs were ready to go, and his front paws were gently tearing them on the ground, as if he was ready to enter the mongolia group at any time.
Li Muran stretched out his finger and bounced, and a firelight emerged from his fingertips, shot into the mongolia group, turning into three flames and bursting, and suddenly the fire and rocks splashed everywhere. However, those mongolia could dodge them flexibly, and were almost unaffected by this Three Flames.
These fire mongooses are not big in size but can hunt python monsters that are much bigger than themselves. One of the reasons is that their extremely agile skills are.
"Fight quickly? I'm not afraid!" Li Muran smiled slightly, secretly circulated the magic power of the Dantian, scattered in the meridians of the limbs, and a faint glow appeared on his body, like a blurred moon halo.
After using the Moon Eclipse Technique, Li Muran took out a talisman sword and shouted to the spirit beast Xiaobai: "Kill!"
As he said that, he held a sword in one hand and a magic shield in the other. Under the cover of a thick layer of vajra cover, his body flashed and rushed into the mongolia group against the rock wall.
With the blessing of the Moon Eclipse Technique, Li Muran's movement speed was already extremely fast. He was wearing water-piercing fire boots under his feet. Walking among the rocks was like sliding on the ice, adding a little more agility.
"Crack!" A fire mongolia was pierced by Li Muran, who suddenly appeared in front of him.
The fire-eating mongoose leather armor is quite strong. Li Muran is not a monk who has practiced swords for many years, and this talisman sword is not known for its sharpness, so it can only slightly pierce a little fur, and the wound is very shallow.
However, the moment the Talisman Sword pierced the skin of the Fire Eater, a fire light surged out from the tip of the Talisman Sword, rushed into the body of the Fire Eater, and exploded with a bang!
Although this fire light was just a flame explosion talisman inspired by the talisman sword, it immediately exploded the fire mond into blood and died on the spot because it exploded in the wound!
The rest of the food and fire mongoose were shocked and dodged one after another. Some rushed towards Li Muran from the side, while others spewed out balls of flames and launched magic attacks.
At this time, Xiaobai also rushed into the mongoose group. Although it was just a first-level monster in its breath, with its sharp claws and teeth, these mongooses were not its opponent! After Xiaobai pounced with a mongoose, the other party was not even enough to spew a flame attack, and Xiaobai's throat was torn through with one claw and died!
Li Muran always moved against the rock wall to ensure that there were no monsters behind him. Suddenly, two mongooses rushed towards him from the side, and were about to scratch his protective light shield, Li Muran suddenly turned around, shook his wrist, and three sharp arrows shot out, shooting the two mongooses on the spot.
Immediately, Li Muran waved his shield and blocked all the flames spit out by the mongoose.
Li Muran and Xiaobai went in and out and fought continuously. In a moment, seven or eight mongooses died under Xiaobai's claws or under Li Muran's sword.
Although the talisman sword in Li Muran's hand was not sharp enough, it could not cut out extremely sharp sword lights, as long as the fire mongoose was injured by it, a spell would attack it and explode it to death.
These fire mongooses wanted to siege Li Muran, but Li Muran was extremely flexible and rushed around, not giving monsters a chance to siege them. At the same time, his magic shield also had a good defense, enough to easily resist the flame attacks emitted by the monsters.
"Aowu!" Xiaobai bit off the throat of a mongoose, and then he suddenly roared to the sky with a long roar. His silver-white fur was stained with bright red demon blood everywhere, making him look particularly ferocious.
At this time, Li Muran also used the flying knife hidden on his body and killed several mongooses in one breath. The group of more than 20 mongooses was only half left in a moment.
The rest of the food and fire mongoose were shocked and they whimpered a few times and fled into the thick fog.
"The Moon Eclipse Technique is indeed very useful!" Li Muran thought to himself that if he encountered such a group of fire mongooses during the day, it would be very difficult to kill them without setting up a talisman array in advance. Either he had to sacrifice the sword-transforming talisman again, or it would cost a lot of talismans.
"The "Stealing Sutra" is indeed not wrong. For the fighting of the Qi and Mechanism monks, flexible body movement is a very favorable factor. Especially for such close combat, even if you have a piece of magic, it is often difficult to use it."
Li Muran took back the short arrows and flew out one by one, and then continued to slowly move forward in the foggy valley. Along the way, he heard many roars of wolf howling beasts coming from a distance.
"This Wuluan Valley is indeed full of dangers. It may take a lot of effort for those people to enter here to find the Drunken God Fruit!"
