Chapter 72 Black Region Great PlainsOriginally, the distance between the Jia Ma Empire and the Black Horn Region was extremely vast, and it was necessary to pass through several small countries before reaching the edge of the Black Horn Region. If Xiao Yun had not brought a large number of Qi-restoring pills with him to support him, even with his Dou Wang-level powerful Dou Qi, he would have used it up long ago.
Above the clouds, the green fire wings vibrated violently, and Xiao Yun was like a green meteor, quickly crossing the sky with a strong sound of breaking wind.
I have to say that there are many benefits to having Yao Lao following you.
For example, now, Xiao Yun was flying in the sky, and Yao Lao's soul was attached to him, holding a delicate map to show him the direction. Otherwise, in this Black Region Plain, facing the endless and monotonous black grassland, Xiao Yun would have lost his way long ago.
"We are lucky this time. When I passed by here before, I would encounter that damn black storm eight out of ten times. In the black storm, you can't see your hand in front of you. It's pitch black all around, and it also carries strong wind pressure. If you encounter a large black storm, even a Douhuang strongman will not go against the wind."
Yao Lao's old voice sounded in Xiao Yun's heart, popularizing knowledge about the Black Domain Plain.
Xiao Yun nodded and was about to say something when he suddenly discovered that at the end of his sight, the originally clear sky had become extremely dark and was rapidly approaching him.
"Um, Yao Lao, is that the black storm you mentioned?"
Xiao Yun looked a little unhappy and asked, pointing his finger forward.
"... Damn it, that's a large black storm! Go down quickly, or you will be blown away by it!" Upon hearing this, Yao Lao looked up and hurriedly urged Xiao Yun to take shelter.
Xiao Yun nodded sincerely, his wings trembled slightly, and he smashed into the ground like a meteorite, creating a large pit in the ground. He then summoned his fighting spirit, dug a hole in the pit, and quickly hid inside.
Less than a minute after Xiao Yun finished all this, a black gale swept down from the dark sky, bringing with it strong wind pressure, covering everything.
The body curled up in the pit, the fighting spirit surging around it, forming a barrier to block the entrance of the pit. Hearing the muffled sound of heavy objects being carried by the strong wind hitting the barrier, Xiao Yun's face showed a look of relief. Fortunately, he hid underground. If he was on the ground, he would probably be blown up like those heavy objects.
In the darkness, there was no concept of time. Xiao Yun didn't know how long it had been before the sound of the wind outside gradually weakened. Then, the outside world became brighter.
After retracting his fighting spirit, Xiao Yun climbed out of the pit and stood steadily on the ground. Although there was still some strong wind, it could not affect him anymore.
"The power of the black storm is so terrifying. In the face of such a natural disaster, even a Dou Wang can only hide in a panic." Xiao Yun couldn't help but sigh as he watched the black storm gradually go away. Suddenly, he stretched out his arm, and his Dou Qi surged out, stopping a figure in mid-air.
He caught the figure again, which turned out to be an unlucky man who was swept up by the black storm. Xiao Yun stretched out his palm and slapped him twice on the face, which directly woke the unlucky man up.
The man opened his eyes in confusion and saw the gloomy sky at first. He moved his gaze downward and saw a handsome young man looking at him with a smile.
"Thank you for your help, sir." The man stood up and bowed respectfully towards Xiao Yun. He knew that he was able to survive the black storm because of the help from the young man in front of him.
"Haha, it's okay, it's just a piece of cake." Xiao Yun waved his hand and asked, "How did you get swept away by this black storm?"
"My name is Zhao Xing, and I'm a businessman traveling on the Black Domain Plain. Originally, I wanted to go to the Rift Valley to sell some goods, but I didn't expect to encounter this black storm, and all the people and goods were blown away." Zhao Xing said respectfully, and when he said the latter part, a trace of pain appeared on his face.
Xiao Yun patted the man's shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't be sad, it's good that he's okay. Why did you go to that valley to sell goods instead of going to the city?"
Hearing this, Zhao Xing quickly said, "Sir, you have just arrived in the Black Horn Region, right? The reason why I went to the Rift Valley is because I heard that there is a relic there that is about to be opened. Most of the masters of the Black Horn Region are waiting there. Although I am not very powerful, I also want to join in the fun and sell some goods by the way."
"Do you know which senior left that relic?"
"I don't know, but I heard from others that the owner of the ruins was most likely a Dou Zong master. This news has spread throughout the Black Horn Region."
Xiao Yun nodded. He thought he could go and see the ruins left by the Dou Zong master. Maybe he could find some treasures.
So, he took out the map from the ring and asked Zhao Xing to point out the direction of the Rift Valley. Then he left a second-grade elixir as a reward for his information. Then, the blue fire wings emerged, and Xiao Yun flew rapidly towards the direction of the Rift Valley.
……
After a long journey of one day and one night, Xiao Yun, who had taken a Wind-Speed Pill, finally arrived at the area where the ruins were located. Although this Rift Valley was called this name, it was not a valley, but a vast and boundless mountain range. Xiao Yun flew in the air, and his soul power surged out. He sensed that there were constant battles below, and there were even a few that were as powerful as his.
"It seems that this relic has attracted almost all the masters in the Black Horn Region."
As they continued to go deeper into the mountains, Xiao Yun retracted his fighting spirit wings and no longer flew ostentatiously in the sky. Instead, he traveled honestly through the mountains and forests.
With his powerful soul power, Xiao Yun was extremely sensitive to other people's auras. He would often avoid them in advance when they were still quite a distance away, thus avoiding many unnecessary troubles and battles...
After walking like this for about a few hours, the sky gradually darkened, and Xiao Yun finally walked out of the forest and came to a huge mountain.
The mountain peaks towered into the clouds, and lush green dotted the mountain. Looking up, even though he was far away, Xiao Yun could see a huge stone gate in the center of the mountain.
"Is this the ruins? Fortunately, we are not too late. It seems that the stone door will not be opened for the time being." Looking at the stone door, Xiao Yun let out a light breath, and hurriedly arrived before the ruins opened.
"You should recover first. There are so many powerful people gathered here. I'm afraid the ruins will be opened in a few days." Yao Lao's voice also sounded in his heart at this time.
"Yeah." Xiao Yun nodded slightly, turned his head and looked around. He did not go to the foot of the mountain where the crowd gathered, but found a hidden place in the forest behind him.
Soul power surged out, and after checking that there was no other breath, he sat cross-legged, took out a recovery pill and put it in his mouth, closed his eyes slightly, formed seals with his hands, and sank his mind into his body.
As Xiao Yun entered the state of cultivation, the energy of the surrounding heaven and earth was absorbed into his body, and along with the medicinal power of the Qi Recovery Pill, it was refined and transformed into pure Dou Qi to fill every part of his body.
At the same time, Yao Lao also quietly laid down a layer of soul realm to completely conceal Xiao Yun's breath.
As he practiced quietly like this, time passed slowly and the originally dim sky gradually became brighter.
"call!"
Xiao Yun exhaled a breath of foul air, which was transformed from impurities in the energy of heaven and earth. Then, his tightly closed eyes trembled slightly, and then slowly opened, and green flames flowed in them, with a different and strange color.
The face that was originally tired due to the long journey became energetic again after a night of adjustment.
"Thank you, Yao Lao, for protecting me." Xiao Yun stood up and felt that he was protected by a barrier. He immediately expressed his gratitude.
"Haha, little guy, it's no use talking. Just get stronger as soon as possible and help me resurrect." Yao Lao's voice, with a hint of teasing, sounded in his heart.
"Don't worry, I will resurrect you." Nodding, Xiao Yun then said: "Then let's go and see when the ruins will be opened." After that, he started walking towards the foot of the mountain where there were crowds of people.
A moment later, Xiao Yun appeared in the camp at the foot of the mountain. This camp was formed by many forces. After all, there were still some ferocious monsters in this mountain range. If they attacked the camp fearlessly, it would definitely be damaged if only a single force resisted. Now that the ruins were about to be opened, everyone wanted to maintain their peak condition to take risks, so this temporary camp appeared.
Xiao Yun's appearance attracted some people's attention. Soon, a fierce-looking man came forward and blocked Xiao Yun's way.
"You little brat, who told you to come in directly?" The big man grinned, holding a big knife in his right hand, and slashed at Xiao Yun fiercely. The people around were watching with gloating. In their eyes, Xiao Yun was only fourteen or fifteen years old, with the strength of a fighter at most, and he dared to come here alone. He deserved to die.
Gently stretching out two fingers, Xiao Yun clamped the big man's long knife. He raised his head, his eyes full of indifference, and kicked out with his right leg like lightning, kicking him out directly.
"Oh!"
The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground was heard. The big man lay on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his eyeballs bulged out, and the next moment, he turned his head and died completely. Xiao Yun's kick not only kicked him away, but also destroyed all his organs. If he could see inside his body, he would be horrified to find that all his organs were burned to ashes.
"He's a ruthless character. Fatty Chen has the cultivation level of a three-star fighter, but he was killed with one blow..." The people around him quickly withdrew their gazes, not daring to look at Xiao Yun again. The big man just now was not much different in strength from them. If Xiao Yun could kick the big man to death with one kick, then naturally he could also kick them to death with one kick.
Relying on his ferocity just now, Xiao Yun successfully entered the camp. Looking at the extremely lively scene in the camp, he immediately understood why the previous merchants wanted to come here to sell goods.
