Chapter 399: Men and Women in the Void Swamp
When Ding Huan woke up, he found Wen Zhixi practicing, and a faint sense of crisis came over him. Ding Huan found that his immortal essence was almost gone, and his divine consciousness could only extend about ten feet.
Ding Huan's intuition told him that someone was coming.
He put away the iron pot immediately, then looked at the low-grade fairy vein beside him, thinking that Wen Zhixi was too careless.
How can there be such a method of implanting immortal spiritual veins for cultivation?
He worked hard to carve a few teleportation array patterns and took away the immortal veins around him.
After taking away the immortal spirit vein and the iron pot, Ding Huan felt his eyes go dark. He could only barely shout: "Zhi Xi..."
His voice was really too soft and Wen Zhixi didn't notice it.
Ding Huan stopped practicing, and Wen Zhixi's understanding of the great Dao of heaven and earth suddenly became blurred.
After Ding Huan took away her immortal spirit vein, she could no longer absorb immortal spirit energy and only then did she open her eyes.
When she found that Ding Huan had woken up, she was overjoyed and asked, "Brother Ding, are you awake?"
"Be careful of the people coming..." Ding Huan just said these few words and then fainted again.
Is anyone coming?
Wen Zhixi's spiritual sense swept out and he discovered a man and a woman walking towards him from a distance.
The man was bald, pale, and had narrowed eyes. The woman was not bad looking, but there was a sinister look between her brows.
Both of them looked a little listless. Holding attacking magic weapons in their hands, they approached the place where she was practicing with a vigilant look on their faces.
Wen Zhixi was amazed that someone could actually walk to this place safely. This was extraordinary.
No wonder Ding Huan took away the immortal vein. Looking at the looks of these two people, they seemed to have bad intentions.
What puzzled her was that the trapping arrays set up by Ding Huan were not activated. Then she understood what was going on.
The immortal spiritual source needed for the killing array set up by Ding Huan was the inferior immortal spiritual vein. Ding Huan took away the immortal spiritual vein, so the killing array naturally could not be activated.
She simply walked out of the cave where she was practicing: "Two Taoist friends."
Among these two people, the man is in the middle stage of Xuanxian, and the woman should be in the late stage of Jinxian. Wen Zhixi doesn't care.
After the mottled Dao rhyme in her body was stripped away by Ding Huan, her strength increased sharply. Recently, she has been practicing with Ding Huan, and her cultivation has returned to the middle stage of Xuanxian.
"My fellow Taoist, did you kill Lord Xianze?" The man's eyes widened when he saw that the person who came out was actually a beautiful woman.
"Who are you?" Wen Zhixi felt that his guess seemed to be wrong. It didn't seem like these two people had just walked here.
The female cultivator quickly said, "Senior sister, my name is Fu Shuangping, and this is my senior brother Ku Tingyi.
We have been in the Billion Void Swamp for hundreds of years. When we walked into the swamp before, we were captured and imprisoned by Lord Xianze.
Not long ago, the restrictions that imprisoned our cave collapsed automatically, and we were able to escape."
Wen Zhixi suddenly understood that it was because she and Ding Huan killed the Xianze beast and drew away the immortal spirit vein. The forbidden formation that imprisoned the two people lost the control of the Xianze beast's mind and the immortal spirit source, and then collapsed.
This means that she and Ding Huan saved these two people.
Just as Wen Zhixi was about to speak, Ding Huan woke up again.
Seeing Ding Huan waking up, Wen Zhixi hurried forward to support Ding Huan.
Fu Shuangping and Ku Tingyi, who were standing outside, could also see the situation in the stone house clearly. Ding Huan was weak and seemed to be dying.
"Zhi Xi, is the senior who killed the Xianze man-beast still here?" Ding Huan struggled to say one sentence, and could not continue.
At this time, it was good enough for Ding Huan to stay awake.
Although Ding Huan's voice was very low, Ku Tingyi and Fu Shuangping outside heard it clearly. They realized that someone had killed the Xianze orcs, which allowed them to survive.
Fu Shuangping and Ku Tingyi breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that it was not Wen Zhixi who killed the Xianze beast.
"Senior sister, do you need our help?" Fu Shuangping asked again.
Wen Zhixi came out again and said calmly, "Thank you, fellow Taoists. My brother and I don't need your help. Please come in."
Ku Tingyi's gaze fell on Wen Zhixi's face, and he was amazed in his heart, how could there be such a beautiful woman?
Not to mention in the Billion Void Swamp, even in the Immortal Land, he couldn't miss such a woman.
He took a breath and saluted: "Junior sister, why don't we go together. This Billion Void Swamp is not simple. It is very dangerous if you walk here alone."
Wen Zhixi was about to refuse without hesitation, but then she heard Ding Huan say, "Zhixi, why don't you just go with them?"
Wen Zhixi was stunned. What did Ding Huan mean by this?
She was not afraid of these two people. Ding Huan herself was poisoned by the horrible poison of the Void Poison Wood Arrow. It would be obviously very dangerous to follow them.
Wen Zhixi immediately thought that since he met Ding Huan, Ding Huan has been very cautious in doing things and would not come up with any bad ideas.
Before, Ding Huan intentionally said that the Xianze man-beast was killed by a strong man, probably because he was worried that the other party would not take them with him.
Thinking of this, she also smiled and said: "Okay, since the two Taoist friends have invited us, my brother and I will follow you and wait for a moment."
Wen Zhixi walked into the stone house, looked at Ding Huan and said, "Brother Ding, let me carry you."
Ding Huan smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry to bother you for a moment."
It wasn't that he had to follow this man and woman. It was because he had just calculated that this man and woman were very likely to have the route to pass through the Billion Void Swamp.
If they missed these two people, even if he and Wen Zhixi could get out of the Billion Void Swamp, it would take them many years.
Lying on Wen Zhixi's back, a faint fragrance wafted in. Even though Ding Huan's immortal essence was imprisoned and his sea of consciousness was still being corroded, he still found it difficult to control himself.
Feeling Ding Huan's body temperature rising, Wen Zhixi's face turned slightly red, and then returned to normal.
He had experienced a lot with Ding Huan, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about. He then carried Ding Huan on his back and walked out of the cave.
"Where did the senior who killed the Xianze man-beast go?" Ku Tingyi couldn't help but ask.
Without waiting for Wen Zhixi to answer, Ding Huan sighed, "That Lord Xianze is extremely cunning. When he saw that he was no match for that senior, he took away a huge rock here and fled.
That senior naturally would not let him go, and he also followed. Zhixi and I have been waiting here, but after waiting for half a year, we still haven’t seen that senior come back. I guess he won’t come back.”
"Did the senior take anything else?" Ku Tingyi asked quickly.
Wen Zhixi replied: "There is another immortal vein here, which the senior also drew away."
Upon hearing that his immortal spirit vein had indeed been drained away, Ku Tingyi didn't even bother to hide the disappointment in his eyes.
Ding Huan said in time: "Before leaving, the senior gave us hundreds of thousands of immortal crystals and told us to practice well."
He couldn't let these two people go away quietly, so he had to let them miss him a little.
If Wen Zhixi hadn't said that the immortal vein had been drawn away, Ding Huan would definitely have said that the immortal vein was in his body.
Sure enough, when he heard Ding Huan say that they had hundreds of thousands of fairy crystals, Ku Tingyi's eyes lit up again.
"Senior Brother, I still don't know how you and this senior sister address each other." Fu Shuangping looked at Ding Huan with watery eyes and a coquettish tone.
Without waiting for Ding Huan to speak, Wen Zhixi smiled and said, "My name is Wen Zhixi, and this is Brother Ding Huan."
"Are you also from Qiji Continent?" Fu Shuangping continued to ask with a smile.
Wen Zhixi shook his head: "No, we are from the Fifth Immortal Realm."
Ding Huan's eyes narrowed slightly. He had heard of the Qiji Road that Fu Shuangping mentioned.
The Qiji Continent is not a fairyland, but an ordinary continent for cultivation.
In his previous life, when he was trying to survive in Changyi Continent, he heard people talk about a real continent for cultivating immortals, where heaven and earth had abundant vitality and perfect natural rules.
Anyway, it is a very suitable place for cultivation.
But ordinary people should not even think about going to the Qiji Continent, it is as unrealistic as a dream.
At that time, they were all legends, and no one took it seriously. In fact, he didn't take it seriously. Unexpectedly, this continent actually existed.
"Fellow Daoist Fu, is the Qiji Continent far from here?" Ding Huan asked.
Just as Fu Shuangping was about to speak, a black mass appeared in the sight of several people.
"It's a first-level fairy demon ant, run away quickly..." Ku Tingyi's face also changed.
In this swamp, the demon ants are one of the most terrifying things.
The demon ants that are lower than the first level of fairy demon insects are better because they can't fly.
Once one's cultivation reaches the first-level fairy demon ant level, wings will grow.
The winged fairy ants flew extremely quickly over the swamp.
They can avoid spatial dislocations through perception and surround the monks in the shortest time possible.
Once the cultivators inside are surrounded by endless immortal demon ants, they are basically doomed.
You can imagine how terrifying it would be if so many immortal demon ants swarmed over.
Not to mention sucking blood, everything on the body will be devoured completely, and it is the most disgusting way to die.
"Zhi Xi, just follow these two people." Ding Huan said.
Wen Zhixi knew that Ding Huan was going to follow these two people, and he deliberately revealed that he had good stuff on him. He must have had a purpose.
Without Ding Huan's reminder, she followed Ku Tingyi and Fu Shuangping closely.
It has to be said that these two people are extremely experienced here. After turning around for a while, they quickly left behind a group of fairy demon ants.
"Friend Wen has great agility." Ku Tingyi couldn't help but praise Wen Zhixi when he saw how he could escape with them so easily while carrying Ding Huan on his back.
As he spoke, he was thinking about how to get Wen Zhixi's escape technique.
Wen Zhixi smiled slightly: "Friends Ku and Fu are also good at body movement. I had to use all my strength to barely follow you. I was almost surrounded by the fairy monster ants."
Ku Tingyi couldn't tell whether Wen Zhixi was mocking them, but when he was running away just now, he was indeed trying to lure Wen Zhixi into the group of fairy demon ants.
However, Wen Zhixi followed them too closely, so he was unable to succeed.
"Friend Wen, according to our experience, after the Immortal Demon Ants are dispatched, a swamp tide will appear. This is very dangerous. We must turn around again and flee in the direction those Immortal Demon Ants went." Ku Tingyi's face turned serious.
Wen Zhixi was stunned. Did they want them to go back and chase the Fairy Demon Ants? They had just escaped from the Fairy Demon Ants, and now they were being sent back?
