Vol 3 Chapter 28: Cut off

Chapter 28 Severe Hand
The wind blows through the wilderness with dust. Although it is not as suffocatingly hot as the southern desert, it is not very comfortable. After leaving the Bloodfang camp, Shen Shi walked on this wasteland for half an hour, and completely left the lonely and strange demon clan camp behind him, and could no longer see it.
Looking around, the giant dragon wilderness was bleak, and it seemed to be covered with a layer of gray color everywhere, and the words of the sky and the sky probably said this. In addition to the large and small rocks scattered on the ground everywhere, there are also those withered yellow weeds stubbornly rooting in this barren land. Shenshi has hardly seen anything else, not even a taller tree. .
Walking in such a vast wilderness, it is easy to feel the smallness of oneself and the vastness of the world, and of course it is easy to lose direction. But fortunately, today seems to be a fairly good weather in the Dragon Wilderness, and the sun is clearly visible. With this guidance, Shen Shi has been correcting his occasionally wrong footsteps and walked eastward.
I didn't see any animals or beasts along the way. I don't know if this wilderness is so desolate that even monsters don't want to live here. Recalling that when I met the iron monkey and the mountain wolf at the beginning of yesterday, they went to the oasis in the desert to collect food. Shen Shi could roughly imagine that the life of the bleeding tooth tribe was not easy.
It's just that if the living environment is so bad, this monster tribe is still guarding the Dragon Wilderness. Is it really because of that illusory legend? Thinking of this, Shen Shi couldn't help but curl his lips, thinking that with the current strength of the Bloodfang tribe, even if there is that ancient monster, if one day gets out of trouble, this tribe will not be able to deal with it.
Thinking like this in his mind, Shen Shi glanced around again, and confirmed that there was no one nearby on this desolate and withered wasteland. He simply took out the Snow Snow Sword from his wishful bag, and then called the little black pig, and directly took the charge. The sword flew to the east.
Once the Yujian flew, both the vision and the speed were increased by more than ten times. It moved forward like a gale in the wind, and soon I saw the far ahead from high in the sky. Somewhere on the ground appeared. With a touch of green and water, Shen Shi couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this flying magic weapon is indeed a powerful booster for adventure travel, and it is really easy to use. Although limited to the realm of Dao Xing, he could not fly for a long time, but only a quarter or two of flying time was enough.
Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of the sword word she whispered softly when she passed Zhong Qingzhu on the Jinhong Mountain on Jinhong Mountain that day. For a while, he was silent in his heart, but he didn't know her and several other friends. What's going on now? Did you safely enter the Wentian secret realm, or where did you land, and did you get any chance?
The Qingxue Sword was not an ordinary product. It carried Shen Shi and Xiao Hei at extremely fast speeds. It didn't take long to get close to the rare green in the wasteland ahead, and Shen Shi fell directly on the periphery. First, it saves spiritual energy, and second, it is also cautious. The dangers in this Wentian Secret Realm are perilous and unpredictable. Even if this greenery seems to be alive, it is more dangerous than the desolation of other places on the wasteland. some.
The first thing that caught his eye was a few jagged dwarf trees growing crookedly, and at the same time there was wind blowing in front of them, which actually gave a hint of moisture. Shen Shi's spirit was lifted. There will be water vapor in this wilderness. Presumably, the front is the marshland that Iron Monkey said is rare in the dragon wilderness.
After taking a closer look at the surroundings, Shen Shi stepped forward. As he moved forward, the surrounding environment began to change significantly, the air began to become moist and mild, the trees and weeds were increasing, and it was obvious that they started A little more green, but Shen Shi still didn't see any beasts along the way.
Xiao Hei also seemed to be a bit more lively. He brought a bit of curiosity and sniffed nearby, so he walked forward about fifty or sixty meters away. When the surrounding vegetation had become lush, Shen Shi saw the front appear. A piece of water.
Boping is lying quietly behind the plants and trees in front of the mirror-like water surface, and occasionally a light breeze will cause a little ripple. On the edge of and in the middle of the water, you can see many unknown plants and plants with half rhizomes growing in the water. Soak in water. When he got here, Shen Shi also began to hear the sound of low and low sounds coming from the surroundings, which seemed to be similar to the usual insect sounds, coming faintly in the dense water and grass.
Shen Shi turned his head and looked at it, and saw that this area of ​​water does not look small. In terms of area alone, it should be much larger than the few oases in the desert ahead. It is strange to think about it, in such a large desolate area. It is really strange that there is such a moist swamp in the dragon wilderness of China. But the heaven and the earth are natural fortune and mysterious, and even strange things will happen.
Shen Shi watched by the water for a while, but did not immediately walk to the depths of the swamp. Instead, after a moment of indulgence, he stepped back for a while, rested and recovered for a while, and then raised the Qixue Sword again. But it flew directly to the sky, flying over this swamp.
Such a place with aquatic plants is rare in the wilderness, if there are monsters on the left and right nearby, I am afraid that they will definitely come here. In other words, this place is actually a very dangerous place. Including the Iron Monkey, it was actually mentioned before that although the Bloodfang tribe often sent people here to collect water, they had already had a fixed time and place to come here for thousands of years, and it was relatively safe at that time. As for the dangers in the swamp, Iron Monkey also emphatically talked about several things to Shen Shi.
Flying in the air, Shen Shi hugged Xiao Hei and looked at the swamp below. He saw that the water was originally calm, but when the Snow Sword flew through the air, there was a large piece of silt somewhere under the water. The ordinary huge underwater mud suddenly shook, and it looked like there was a strange monster that was several times larger than the oasis crocodile monster. He raised his head and stretched out of the water to face the one that escaped high in the sky. The prey roared.
The water surface of the swamp trembled violently, and the momentum was so great that the pupils of the Shen Shi high in the sky shrank slightly. If this is to save spiritual energy or if you don’t have the flying magic weapon of the Snow Sword, you can venture through the swamp. , I'm afraid that this huge monster beast alone is enough to threaten his life.
On the next flight, in this vast swamp, Shen Shi saw several similar monsters one after another, and even saw a giant beast rushing out of the water in the depths of the swamp. After exiting, he killed the big deer who had come from nowhere to drink by the water, and then dragged it into the swamp water in a pool of blood. The whole killing process was and fierce, and time-consuming but extremely short, which made people palpitate.
No wonder Iron Monkey said that no one from the Bloodfang tribe has crossed this swamp for many years. If the strength is a little bit weaker, nine out of ten people will become the belly Chinese food of this unknown behemoth, and listen to Iron Monkey. Meaning, in this swamp, there are several extremely dangerous things that bloodfang ancestors have encountered in the past, including a bug that can instantly absorb blood, and a very strange body that can stand upright, like a wolf. Monster beast, there is even a big tree that looks harmless but can eat people.
※※※
However, with the help of the magic weapon spirit sword Qingxuejian, Shen Shi easily avoided all of the dangers. He didn't dare to stop in the middle of this swamp, so he mobilized his spiritual power and flew directly over the entire swamp, and then landed after more than a hundred feet over that piece of water.
After landing, Shen Shi let out a sigh of relief, put the Qixue sword away, and then realized that the situation in his body seemed to be better than originally expected. With a move in his heart, his inner vision checked himself and found that the imperial sword was flying fast. Coming over, the loss of spiritual power seems to be less than before, or that is, since my spiritual power has entered the Yuanshimen period, has it entered a little bit?
Shen Shi obviously felt that the spiritual power in his dantian was a little thicker than before. You must know that before this, he had not dared to fly with the sword too much, because he was afraid that his spiritual power would be consumed too much and that he would be troublesome in danger. But at this moment, he had a faint feeling, as if he was about to touch the high-level threshold of the Ning Yuan realm. It's just that this thought made him a little surprised. After all, it didn't take long for him to break through to the intermediate stage of the Ning Yuan realm. It stands to reason that the speed of cultivation should not be so fast.
After thinking about it, he couldn't help but think of this trip to Yuanshimen. Except for the secret method of Yin-Yang curse that he secretly practiced, which may have a bonus effect on Taoism, the rest is probably this time in Yuanshimen. Because I touched that piece of Wuzhen Rock...well, well, I don't know if it was that big rock, and then I went to Dazhufeng and accidentally found another fragment of the Ancient Slaughter Sword. Perhaps at that time, did it boost your spiritual power?
Shen Shi thought for a while, and shook his head silently. He was also bottomless about the matter, because these days Slaughter the Ancient Sword had been lying quietly in the corner of his wishful bag. There was nothing unusual about it. Taoism has been promoted, but there is no obvious sign.
So in the end he settled up and continued to move forward. After this swamp, the front is a desolate and withered wilderness, but perhaps because of the influence of this patch of water, in the wilderness after the swamp, the vegetation is more or less prosperous, and some withered and thin trees began to be abundant in the wilderness. When I got up, the wild grass also appeared in piles, and Chen Shi even saw a hare or two jumping through the grass in this wilderness.
A fox with withered yellow fur occasionally ran out in the middle, poking his head out in a thicket of wild grass, and looking curiously at the two unexpected guests, Shen Shi and Xiao Hei, who suddenly appeared. Shen Shi was fine, and walked forward. , On the contrary, Xiao Hei glared at that side, then suddenly groaned, grinning fiercely, and startled the little fox, and jumped back with a swish.
Shen Shi glanced at Xiao Hei, a bit funny, just wanted to tell him not to be troublesome, but only saw the little black pig jump out, rushing into the wild grass, looking like he was facing the fox. Some dissatisfaction, we have to teach it a lesson.
Shen Shi was angry and funny, shook his head and called out, "Xiao Hei, don't chase, come back."
It's just that there was a shaking in the grass, but Xiao Hei was not seen. Shen Shi sighed, turned and walked over, and said at the same time: "It's just a fox, what are you doing so excited, people didn't provoke you... "
Before he finished his words, Shen Shi suddenly shook his body, his face suddenly sank, and stood still. In front of him, deep in the wild grass, Xiao Hei ran back all the way, but in his mouth, there was something in his mouth.
It was a hand that had been chopped off in half, and the blood had dried up, but judging from the wound and the flesh and blood of the broken hand, this hand must have been chopped off and left behind in the past few days.
