Chapter 91 Asking for help
Yuan Ming played with the fiery red spirit stone and shook his head regretfully.
Because of the difference in spiritual power contained within the spirit stone, it can be roughly divided into five categories: gold, wood, water, fire and earth. This spirit stone is obviously a fire-attributed spirit stone. The Nine Yuan Jue he practiced is a wood-attributed martial art, and it cannot assist in the cultivation by absorbing the spiritual power therein.
Yuan Ming put the spirit stone back into the black bag, took out the book, and opened it with great enthusiasm.
Since this book is hidden in a black pouch, it must be an ordinary classic.
The pages of these books are not paper, but a soft white silk that can last longer than paper pages.
He opened the first page and four big words came into view: the black wood note.
"Heimu? This name is so familiar... Could it be the Black Wood Master of Huoliantang mentioned by Chen Wan?" Yuan Ming suddenly remembered what Chen Wan said to him, paused to flip through the book, continued to search on the corpse, and soon found a nameplate from his chest with the two small words "Heimu".
"It's true that Master Hei Wood." Yuan Ming's eyes were delighted.
Since Heimu is known as one of the best genius weapon refiners in Biluo Cave for a hundred years, the notes he left behind are definitely of great value.
But I didn't expect that such a legendary weapon refining master would fall here in an unknown way.
He was about to continue to open the black wooden note, and Huo Yan'er, who was playing in the house, suddenly rushed over and jumped onto Yuan Ming's shoulder, squeaking anxiously, full of fear.
Yuan Ming frowned and immediately put away the black wooden note. A green light flashed in his palm. A blue fish sword appeared, and his eyes were sharply scanned around.
However, as time passed little by little, no abnormality appeared around.
Yuan Ming did not dare to relax and walked outside with slight hands and feet.
Along the way, Huo Yan'er's spiritual sense has been fulfilled many times. He is really keen. He can sense the breath of Fire Jade Chopin through the two stone walls, and it must not be ignored.
Just as he barely walked to the door of the stone chamber, Huo Yan'er suddenly screamed again. Almost at the same time, a yellow shadow jumped out of the rock under his feet, and a long claw grabbed his calf like lightning.
Yuan Ming did not expect the enemy to emerge from the ground and hurriedly dodged to the side. The Qingyu Sword counterattacked reflexively and slashed at Huang Ying's chest.
Huang Ying's body technique was extremely strange. She avoided the slash of the Qingyu Sword with a slight sway. Her body hit the stone wall next to her, melting in without any obstacles, and disappeared without a trace.
Yuan Ming staggered, and a long hole was cut on his right leg, and a lot of blood was oozing out.
Although he tried his best to avoid it, he was still rubbed by Huang Ying's claws. Fortunately, the wound was not deep and did not affect his actions.
"It can easily penetrate the stone wall... Could that thing just now be a demon?" he said in his heart.
He has seen records of the Earthly Demon in the classics. He has the ability to drill into the ground and can travel freely in the land of earth and rocks. It can be said to be able to attack or defend, and it is particularly difficult to deal with in today's environment.
It is said that only in the depths of the 100,000 mountains can there be demons on earth. How can there be such an area in Qianlu Lake?
Yuan Ming ran outside without caring about dealing with his injuries.
Huo Yan'er squatted on his shoulder and looked around uneasy.
"Yes, why did you forget to use its power!" Yuan Ming suddenly had an idea and pinched the wooden sting technique with his hands.
At this moment, Huo Yan'er screamed again and looked back.
Yuan Ming's right hand was immediately pointed out backwards, which was consistent with the direction Huo Yan'er looked.
A yellow light appeared on the wall behind the left, and half of the yellow figure appeared on the body.
At this moment, the green light of the stone wall under it flashed by, and a sharp wooden thorn emerged out of thin air, stabbing into the lower abdomen of the yellow shadow monster.
This yellow shadow monster belongs to earth, wood overcomes earth, and the wood sting technique easily breaks its body defense and tear a large wound.
The demon screamed in pain, and most of the yellow light on his body dissipated, revealing his true body.
This is a monster with a big head and a thin body. Its whole body is yellow, with unusually smooth skin. The four claws are thin and long, and it shows a bit of funnyness in its ugly state.
"It's indeed a demon in the earth!" Yuan Ming whispered and pointed it out again.
Two wooden thorns emerged and crossed to the body of the demon.
The demon Dixing shrank, avoided the pursuit of two wooden thorns, sank into the stone wall and disappeared.
Yuan Ming's face was cold, without the excitement of succeeding with one blow, and continued to run out.
According to classics, the Earth-Sporting Monster is extremely revenge. Although the Wood Spike Technique just now hurts it, it may not hurt the vital points. This monster may still be wandering nearby and must leave immediately.
On the next journey, the Earth-Sporting Demon did not attack again. Yuan Ming soon came outside, his face slightly relaxed.
The Earth-Sporting Demon can escape and pass through the ground. The more closed the environment, the more beneficial it is to it. Now that he comes to an open place outside, the attack range of this demon is greatly reduced, so naturally it is not so dangerous.
Huo Yan'er crawled into Yuan Ming's arms, raised his head and whispered a few times, his body trembled, and his expression was filled with fear.
"Look, you little guy, is so scared. But that's true. First, there was a four-eyed golden ape, then a black giant crow. Now there is another demon in the ground. It's really better to leave early!" Yuan Ming gently stroked the fluff on Huo Yan'er's head, and he also felt relieved in his heart.
Although this island surrounded by thick fog is full of dangers, it also highlights its mystery. Especially the appearance of the black wood corpse makes it more urge to find out. Unfortunately, his strength is still too weak, so I can only wait until I have the chance in the future.
He returned along the Yinhan Stream and soon returned to the previous Black Pine Forest.
Yuan Ming hesitated for a moment and did not intend to return as the same way.
Following the previous path, he may encounter the black giant crow and the four-eyed golden ape again. He doesn't want to have any unnecessary entanglement with these two guys. If he can, he can avoid it.
Yuan Ming carefully recalled the situation after entering the island and barely judged that this black pine forest should also be on the edge of the island, along the opposite direction of the cold stream, and should be able to reach the edge of the island.
He followed his own judgment and the black pine forest gradually became sparse, and the sound of flowing water came, and he soon came to the lakeside.
Yuan Ming's face relaxed, and he immediately removed the hair-covering technique. He found a dry place to sit down. While using the Nine Yuan Art to restore his magic power, he considered a way to escape.
He still has a rope on his body, so it is not difficult to create another wooden raft. The trouble is the black water monster that can emit lightning attacks. He always feels that the water monster is still wandering near the island, waiting for him.
At this moment, Yuan Ming suddenly opened his eyes and looked at a pine tree next to him.
But there was nothing there.
"No, I just felt something there..." Yuan Ming murmured to himself, suddenly thinking of a possibility.
"Silver Cat, is it you?" he stood up and spoke.
There was silence nearby, without any response.
"I know you are nearby, can you show up and meet?" Yuan Ming cleared his throat and said in a sincere tone.
Although for some reason, the silver cat always followed him elusively, and should be here now. This cat has extraordinary supernatural powers. If it can help him, it will be much easier to leave here.
Except for the water flow and the sound of wind, there is still no other movement.
Yuan Ming smiled bitterly, knowing that this was a response that Silver Cat was unwilling to help, so he did not continue to call, sat down again, and continued to use the Nine Yuan Jue to restore his magic power.
After a while, he stood up and sacrificed the bluefish sword, cut off several black pine trees, cut branches and tied ropes, and quickly created a new wooden raft.
Instead of putting the wood into the water, Yuan Ming put it in a black storage bag, then sacrificed the incense burner and soared to the sky as high as possible, and then flew to the distance with all his strength.
The wind roared in his ears, and the white mist was also marked, and he quickly flew for seven or eight miles away.
When he arrived here, Yuan Ming's face turned pale and slowly fell downwards, stopping several feet above the lake.
He took out the wooden raft from the black storage bag, gently put it into the lake water, then floated down, breathing slightly in his mouth.
After flying so far, Yuan Ming's body had very little magic power left and his body was extremely weak. He wanted to fall down and sleep, but now was not the time to rest.
He barely cheered up his spirits, took out a strut, carefully supported the wooden raft, and drove quickly forward.
This is the way Yuan Mingsi thought about and escaped. He first flew to the farthest possible place with an incense burner, and then escaped with a wooden raft.
If this method had not worked before, the storage bag given to him by the Master of Sandong could not contain a wooden raft at all. After he got the storage bag of Master Heimu, he had this escape strategy.
This method has a very risky approach. If it is discovered by the black water monster, he will have almost no power to resist, but he has no other way and can only take one risk.
Yuan Ming quickly supported the wooden raft, his heart was up and down, and he was always paying attention to the movements around him.
Time passed little by little, and the black water monster never appeared. His tense heartstrings gradually relaxed and continued to move forward for more than ten miles. He confirmed that the black water monster would not appear. Then he stopped the wooden raft and sat cross-legged to restore his magic power.
As soon as his magic power was restored, Yuan Ming immediately put the wooden raft into the storage bag and continued to flee into the air with the incense burner.
Most of the day, it was already dark.
On the shore of Qianlu Lake, a wooden raft drove quickly and slowly shored.
"It's considered out." Yuan Ming ran ashore and breathed a sigh of relief.
This trip to search for the clear water stone was originally an easy task, but unexpectedly, so many troubles emerged.
Yuan Ming shook his head and left quickly.
There was a round black thing dozens of feet away from Yuan Ming's lake water, as big as a millstone, smooth and with two huge green eyes, it looked like the head of a creature in the water. Several black tentacles appeared in the surrounding lake water, strolling hard and quickly shored.
If Yuan Ming were here, he would definitely be able to recognize at a glance that this thing was the black water monster who had chased him before.
However, there was no fierce light in the black water monster's eyes, and it felt like it was manipulated by someone's mind.
On the black head, a small silver figure was squatting, but it was a silver cat.
The black water monster swam to the shore quickly. The silver cat jumped lightly and landed silently on the shore. His alien-colored pupils shone brightly in the night, looking in the direction where Yuan Ming left.
The black water monster's body trembled, and the misty look in his eyes suddenly disappeared. He glanced at the silver cat in horror, and immediately got into the water and disappeared.
