Mortal bone

"That thing... is too disgusting and dirty! I don't want to die by its hands!"

Duan Xiaoyu roared with her distorted face from running.

Xu Taiping was speechless.

"boom!"

At this moment, there was another loud noise from behind the two of them, and then the ground under their feet began to tremble violently. A terrifying fluctuation of spiritual power, wrapped in a strong stench, swept from behind the two of them like a tide .

Even if they didn't look back, they could still guess.

The desolate beast must have come out of the ground.

"Zheng!"

Seeing this, Xu Taiping didn't hold back any more, he directly flew up with Yujian, and at the same time stretched out his hand to that little fish:

"If you don't want to die, grab it!"

"Ok!"

Duan Xiaoyu, who was already so nervous that she was about to cry, grabbed Xu Taiping's extended hand.

Amidst the sound of "咻", a beam of sword light flew out from the forest.

In the blink of an eye, he had already flown to a mountain on the opposite side.

An angry roar then resounded through the forest where Fengqi Temple was located.

……

"Huangyepo, fortunately, it's not too far from Xingluo Lake."

After burning an incense stick, in a stone building built of huge stones, Xu Taiping carefully searched a map in front of him, and finally confirmed their current location.

Just now, he was only concerned about running for his life, and he didn't care about the direction and distance. He fled with the sword all the way until his true energy was almost exhausted, and then he stopped.

"vomit!……"

At this time, in a room next to the stone building, there was a sudden sound of vomiting.

"Are you OK?"

Xu Taiping raised his head and asked the next door.

"No, nothing, I'm fine, Brother Taiping!"

Duan Xiaoyu's weak voice came from the next door.

"It's fine." Xu Taiping nodded.

He has heard of many seasick people, but this is the first time he has seen someone who is as dizzy as Duan Xiaoyu.

"If I remember correctly, this blood moon tide will last for at least three days without human intervention. That is to say, during these three days, if it is not necessary, try not to go out as much as possible."

While thinking this way, he compared the map and began to check what monsters were nearby.

This map was revised by Sister Lingyue, and it is more complete than the one given by Jiufu.

"I... this luck is a bit out of luck!"

Xu Taiping, who was checking the map, suddenly frowned.

I saw that his finger on the map just landed on a skull above, and beside the skull, there was a line of small characters written in elegant handwriting——

"There is an ancient beast, the red-scaled leopard, sleeping here. For practitioners in our world, this red-scaled leopard is a good prey. Its fur and bones can be used as medicine, and the gall of the leopard can even nourish the soul, but for you For cultivators in the whole world, it can only be regarded as a nightmare, and its strength is at least comparable to that of cultivators in the Tongxuan realm."

"However, unless the blood moon tide comes, the chance of it waking up from the ground is very small, which is why it has not been hunted by monks."

After reading Sister Lingyue's label again, Xu Taiping felt his scalp tingling.

Now I can only hope that this ferocious beast will not wake up.

Even if you wake up, don't come towards us.

While thinking this way, he continued to check, and found that apart from the red-scaled leopard that might wake up, there were no particularly powerful beasts in this area.

It is also a blessing among misfortunes.

"In any case, leave this place immediately after three days, find the things according to the original route, and then directly crush the scroll and go out."

As he put away the map, he thought about it in his heart.

As for Jade Gourd Peak, he still doesn't plan to go this time, the risk is too great.

Because according to Fairy Lingyue, once the blood moon tide starts, more ancient beasts will wake up there, even if the blood moon tide ends, some ancient beasts may not fall asleep.

In this case, the plum tree could not be cut down, layman Sansan should be able to understand, right?

Just when Xu Taiping was thinking this way, he suddenly felt a heat in his chest.

"Ok?"

He felt a little strangely in the front of his chest, and found that it was the token given to him by Jiufu that was heating up.

This token was sent by Jiufu when they invited him.

What specific function does Xu Taiping didn't care about at the time, just regarded it as an ordinary pass.

After taking out the pass, Xu Taiping found a few words on the back of the pass, which was originally empty - "Is Taiping here? Is Taiping still alive?"

"Can this thing still be used for communication?"

Xu Taiping was a little surprised.

Although he didn't know who asked him this, but now he wanted to know what happened outside.

"I'm still alive, who are you?"

Xu Taiping held the jade pendant tightly, and then left a line of words on it with his spiritual thoughts according to the method of using the jade slip of communication.

"Great! Taiping, you are still alive!"

"Taiping, it's me, I'm the oriole."

Two consecutive lines of characters emerged from the jade slips.

"It's actually Big Brother Oriole."

Xu Taiping was also a little surprised.

"Brother Huangque, what happened outside? Why did a blood moon appear in Yuhu Peak, and a monster became extremely violent. I even saw a desolate beast that only appeared in ancient books."

Xu Taiping immediately passed on what he had seen and heard here.

"It's actually true, there's actually a blood moon tide in the Immortal Gourd Cave!"

"One hour ago, we completely cut off contact with the inside, and there was only one magic eye in the picture displayed in the bronze mirror."

"Now the token of the Nine Mansions in your hand is the only way we can contact it."

A few lines of words soon appeared on the token.

"In the end what happened?"

Xu Taiping asked quickly.

"Layman Yuqing is probably dying."

It was just a simple line of words, but Xu Taiping only felt his scalp go numb.

"The specific matter is too complicated, and it also involves many secrets that cannot be disclosed, so it is inconvenient to tell you in detail here."

"Taiping, put these questions behind you first, I have a very important thing for you to do now."

"This matter is related to the life and death of you and the disciples of the Nine Palaces!"
