Chapter 25 Roadblock
Xu Yang and the two agreed to compete with the monkey leader. The bone-faced monkey sent out three of its strongest players, and the leader of the bone-faced monkey took the first place.
After Zhu Liuqing and Xu Yang fully communicated, the racing strength of the three players on their side was that Zhu Liuqing was first, Pantao was second, and Xu Yang was at the bottom. According to Zhu Liuqing's idea, Xu Yang was the first to appear and compete with the bone-faced monkey leader.
A bone-faced monkey held a stone in his hand and threw it lightly above his head. The moment the stone hit the ground, the bone-faced monkey leader and Xu Yang shot towards the boulder almost simultaneously.
Xu Yang used the Dark Fire Technique to condense the magic power on the soles of his feet. The speed at the beginning seemed to be almost the same as that of the bone-faced monkey leader.
The boulder on the opposite side of the mountain seems not far away, and the path along the way is filled with all kinds of strange rocks and tall trees. Xu Yang's speed gradually slowed down. This monkey leader is worthy of being the king of this group of bone-faced monkeys, and his speed is breathtaking. The rocks and trees passing by have become a springboard for the monkey leader. His lightning-fast figure has integrated with the surrounding environment, and he is much ahead of Xu Yang in the blink of an eye.
After running a short distance, Xu Yang saw that the gap between himself and the monkey leader was getting wider and wider. Xu Yang not only did not speed up, but actually slowed down. Then he carefully observed the obstacles on the route and recorded them one by one in his mind.
The monkey leader arrived at the target rock early.
When Xu Yang arrived late, he bared his teeth at Xu Yang, seeming to declare his victory. Xu Yang spread his hands helplessly and said: "The Monkey King is really brave, I am convinced that I lost."
The monkey leader easily won the first match.
After returning to the starting point, Xu Yang described the route in detail to Zhu Liuqing and Pantao.
After hearing this, Zhu Liuqing seemed to have a plan in mind. She took out a pair of small red brocade boots from her storage bag and put them on her feet.
"These wind-walking boots were given to me by my father. After wearing them, I can increase my speed by more than 30%. It only costs a little more mana. Leave this second game to me." After speaking, he smiled confidently.
"Junior sister, just be careful. Even if you lose, it doesn't matter."
"Senior Brother Xu, don't worry, I'll take care of it." Zhu Liuqing raised her eyebrows, full of confidence.
In the second game, the bone-faced monkey sent a strong male monkey with a strand of silver hair on its head that was particularly conspicuous. After the silver-haired monkey appeared, he patted his strong chest with his fist, looking very domineering.
Game 2.
Zhu Liuqing made a secret with one hand, and her magic power was concentrated on the wind boots on the soles of her feet, and the boots glowed with faint circles of light red light.
The racing begins, with neither side sparing any effort. The silver-haired monkey was incredibly fast, easily crossing a forest with its long arms stretched out. Zhu Liuqing activated her wind boots, and she shuttled between trees and rocks like a flying saucer flying into flowers. Her speed was no worse than that of a silver-haired monkey.
One person and one monkey, walking abreast, arrived not far from the target rock at the same time. At this time, the silver-haired monkey let out a loud roar, and a bunch of silver hairs on the top of its head stood up. Huge spiritual pressure exploded from the whole body, and its speed suddenly increased significantly. He suddenly jumped out and was about ten feet ahead of Zhu Liuqing. He was about to reach the target boulder ahead of him.
Seeing this, Zhu Liuqing used her family's secret technique, pouring all her magic power into the wind boots under her feet. She pressed her toes hard on a protruding boulder, and with the help of the rebound force, she flew out like a swallow holding mud, chasing after him in the blink of an eye. We boarded the silver-haired monkey and reached the target boulder one breath ahead of the silver-haired monkey. I wish Liu Qing a narrow victory in this round.
"Promise." Zhu Liuqing cupped her fist at the silver-haired monkey and said.
The silver-haired monkey made a low whine, as if unwilling to do so, and returned to the forest dejectedly.
Seeing that his most proud subordinate actually lost the game, the originally proud monkey grinned at the silver-haired monkey and roared several times.
The first two games were temporarily tied at one to one, and the most critical third game began. The bone-faced monkey sent a one-eyed monkey. This monkey is as tall as a seven or eight-year-old child. A scar is clearly visible on its left eye. It looks like a ruthless character.
Xu Yang naturally appeared as "Peach". Compared with the tall and domineering one-eyed monkey, the petite "Pan Tao", who is covered in fur, looks weak and weak.
"Squeak-squeak"
"Woo-woo"
"Peach" and the one-eyed monkey didn't know what they were talking about. When the command was given, a ferret and a monkey jumped out like arrows from a string.
Since "Pan Tao" swallowed the eggs of the Hades Bone King Snake, her level has greatly increased, and her speed is three points faster than before.
This one-eyed monkey is indeed the third strongest among the bone-faced monkeys. It moves quickly and has strong explosive power. It can travel several feet away with just a few jumps.
According to the route conditions provided by Xu Yang, the "Peach" shuttled freely through the forest like a koi carp entering the water, and the impact of terrain obstacles was minimized.
The fight between a ferret and a monkey is inextricable. Twenty feet, fifteen feet, ten feet, getting closer and closer to the target boulder.
At this moment, the one-eyed monkey took out a flaming fruit from nowhere, bit it into pieces and swallowed it. Abundant spiritual power was instantly injected into the one-eyed monkey's body. The one-eyed monkey's body emitted a faint cyan spiritual light, and its agile body drew a blue rainbow in the air, flying straight towards the target boulder.
In the flash of lightning, the "flat peach" will naturally not be retained. Two black gem-like small eyes widened, circles of cyan arcs crackled around the body, and powerful coercion erupted from the whole body, sweeping out a gust of wind. Looking from a distance, the "Peach" looks like a cyan lightning flashing across the sky.
The next moment, "Peach" appeared at the target boulder, two feet ahead of the one-eyed monkey.
"Pantao, you did a great job!" Zhu Liuqing shouted excitedly when she saw Pantao reaching the target first. Xu Yang waved his clenched fist in the air, his excitement palpable.
The monkey leader, who originally thought he would win, had a dull look on his face. He couldn't believe that his side had lost the racing competition that they were best at.
After all, monkeys are monkeys. I have never seen the story of Tian Ji’s horse racing.
Best of three. Xu Yang's side achieved the final victory.
According to the agreement of the competition, the bone-faced monkey side gave Xu Yang's twenty flaming fruits as a bet, and allowed Xu Yang and his party to pass through the flaming fruit forest.
Xu Yang and the others collected the flaming fruits, and Zhu Liuqing took out two and gave them to "Pan Peach" as a reward. The two bid farewell to the group of bone-faced monkeys and passed through the orchard.
…
After leaving the Qingyan Fruit Forest, a huge canyon appeared in front of us. The towering peaks on both sides guard the entrance of the canyon like two giants. There are rugged rocks in the canyon, and occasionally strong winds blow by, making a hissing sound.
Lin Zhu and Liu Qing unfolded the map, pointed with their fingers, and said: "Through this canyon, you can truly enter the outer hinterland of the Ghost Roaring Land, not far from the next target in our plan."
"The terrain of this canyon is steep, and it is difficult to avoid risks. Is there no other way to enter the outer hinterland of the Ghost Roaring Land except this canyon?"
"No, it's just that this canyon is the nearest road. After all, this is just outside the outer hinterland of the Ghostly Roaring Land, so there shouldn't be too powerful spiritual beasts. And the other routes are not very flat either."
The two entered the nameless canyon.
The strong wind blowing in the valley made the clothes of the two people rustle.
Due to the rugged terrain in the canyon, it took half a stick of incense for the two of them to walk a short distance away.
"Ouch----"
At this moment, a thunderous roar made the entire canyon tremble.
The next moment, a huge flame tiger appeared on the road ahead of the two of them. The huge spiritual pressure quickly threw the stones scattered under the Flame Tiger's feet around.
"Junior sister, be careful. The spiritual pressure of this flame tiger is very similar to the one that fought with the bone-faced monkey before. I'm afraid it's the same one." As he spoke, the fire cone was already in his hand.
Zhu Liu Qingyu raised her hand, and a silver scimitar appeared in her palm.
"It's really the one from before. There seems to be a faint wound on the neck." Zhu Liuqing said.
"We really encountered a roadblock." Xu Yang said with a wry smile.
"You and I can definitely win if we work together to deal with this flame tiger." Zhu Liuqing said in a low voice.
"The spiritual pressure released by this flame tiger is equivalent to that of a monk on the first level of the Void Realm. If it is not injured, we are only 50% sure of winning. With the current situation, we should be 70% sure."
The two were about to take action when there was another shocking roar.
Another flame tiger slightly smaller than this one flashed out from behind the rock on the other side of the flame tiger. The two tigers stood in front of Xu Yang and the two of them.
"Two tigers! The other one actually has spiritual pressure equivalent to the Void Realm." Xu Yang said in surprise.
"The terrain here is conducive to the Flame Tiger, but not conducive to you and me dodging. The current situation, if forced, you and I will probably suffer, so it's better not to act rashly." Zhu Liuqing said eagerly.
What's puzzling is that the two tigers on the opposite side are not eager to attack the two of them, and the two of them don't dare to act rashly. The two sides are in a strange stalemate.
In the dangerous canyon, the two men holding weapons, and the two tigers occupying the terrain, the scene seems to have stopped.
"Squeak-squeak", "Pan Tao" squatting on Xu Yang's shoulder made a harsh cry, breaking the frozen scene.
Hearing Pantao's message, Xu Yang nodded slightly.
Xu Yang turned to Zhu Liuqing beside him and said, "Junior sister Zhu, the new tiger that appeared opposite is a tigress. Judging from its full breasts, it seems to be lactating. I'm afraid these two tigers didn't act rashly because they were worried about them. The cubs are threatened."
Hearing Xu Yang talk about the tigress's plump breasts, Zhu Liuqing couldn't help but blush.
Xu Yang felt that what he just said was inappropriate and smiled awkwardly.
Then he muttered something to Pantao.
"Pan Tao" jumped off Xu Yang's shoulder and came all the way to the Flame Tiger. The flame tiger didn't seem to be hostile to the little weasel. The two sides exchanged words of "squeak-squeak" and "ouch-ouch".
Not long after, "Peach" returned to Xu Yang. Report the information just now to Xu Yang one by one.
"That's it." Xu Yang smiled after hearing this.
"Junior sister, we only need to pay a few flaming fruits to pass here."
"Oh, is it so?"
"All the little spirit beasts born in the Ghostly Roaring Land are not very adaptable to the large amount of evil energy in the void here in the Ghostly Roaring Land. They need to eat some spiritual fruits or spiritual grasses that can slow down the harm of the evil energy in the void in the Ghostly Roaring Land. When they grow up, The older she is, the more she will get used to it. The Qingyan Fruit is one of these spiritual fruits. This female tiger has just given birth to a cub, so she needs the Qingyan Fruit."
"That's great."
…
An hour later, Xu Yang and the two had safely passed through the Nameless Canyon and arrived at the outer hinterland of the Ghost Roaring Land.
At this time, Xu Yang had a flame tiger skin in his hand. After Xu Yang and the two gave some flame fruits to Flame Tiger, Flame Tiger gave Xu Yang a flame tiger skin in exchange. It is not known whether it was a legacy of the tiger's ancestors or a trophy from defeating other tigers.
The flaming tiger skin can accelerate the gathering of fire-attribute spiritual power and can be used as a cushion for practice. It is a good auxiliary magic weapon for practicing fire-attribute skills. Xu Yang happened to be practicing fire-attribute skills. Calculating that the two of them had seven or eight Flame Fruits left, this Flame Tiger Skin was also a big gain for Xu Yang.
