The Ordinary Man's Guide to Fast Travel

Chapter 419 Entering the Cultivation World 10

After Chao Yao discovered the traces of the Nine Yang Divine Tree, she became more careful and followed these clues to explore further.

The surroundings became increasingly bizarre as she got closer.

In the originally dim woods, dots of fluorescent light began to appear, as if inspired by some mysterious force.

Suddenly, a strong airflow came from the front, blowing Chao Yao's hair into mess.

She calmed herself down and used her magic sword to clear away the fog in front of her. She saw a huge tree hole in front of her. The tree hole was filled with a rich green light, and vitality emanated from it continuously.

Just as Chao Yao was about to approach the tree hole to check, he heard a low roar coming from the tree hole.

"This voice sounds like Aoki Kui."

Xiao Shitou reacted instantly. He pulled Chao Yao to the side and just left the position. Before Chao Yao had the chance to ask what Qingmu Kui was, he saw a beast that looked like a Qilin, but was more robust and huge than a Qilin, rushing out like a moving hill.

It has a pair of long, sharp horns on its head, with mysterious green lines lingering on the horns, as if they contain powerful power.

His eyes were like burning fireballs, with blood-red light emitting from them, full of ferocity and majesty.

Its body is covered with a layer of thick and hard scales, each scale looks like it is made of bronze, sparkling with a cold metallic luster.

These scales are tightly connected, forming an indestructible armor that can resist most attacks.

Qingmu Kui's limbs are thick and powerful, with clear muscle lines, and his claws are sharp like hooks, which can easily tear the enemy apart.

Its tail is long and thick, with sharp barbs at the end. It is powerful when swung, enough to destroy all obstacles around it.

There are also some strange green vines growing on its body. These vines seem to be integrated with it, swaying gently with its movements, exuding a mysterious atmosphere, as if indicating the close connection between it and the forest.

"This...this...looks like this, can you beat him?"

To be honest, Chao Yao was a little scared.

She clearly felt that Qing Mu Kui in front of her had a much higher level of cultivation than her.

Up to now, she is in the initial stage of Spirit Transformation, but Qing Mu Kui in front of her is actually in the Mahayana stage, and the difference in strength is huge.

Qingmu Kui was extremely angry after Chao Yao and Xiao Shitou broke into its territory.

It raised its head and let out a long howl, the sound of which caused the surrounding leaves to fall, as if it was declaring its sovereignty to the two uninvited guests.

The green vines on his body danced wildly, emitting a dangerous aura.

Qing Mu Kui stared at Chao Yao and Xiao Shitou with his eyes burning with anger, and hot breath kept coming out of his mouth.

It pushed the ground with all its limbs, and deep cracks appeared in the ground instantly. Then it pounced towards the two men with the force of thunder, vowing to tear them into pieces.

When approaching Chao Yao and the others, Qingmu Kui suddenly stopped and shouted loudly: "You ignorant human monks, how dare you trespass into my territory! Leave now, or you will never come back!" Its voice was like thunder, echoing throughout the forest.

Chao Yao was almost unable to breathe due to the strong aura, but she still managed to speak: "Senior Qing Mu Kui, we are only looking for the Nine Suns Divine Tree, and we have no intention of offending you."

Qing Mu Kui snorted coldly: "Do you think you can covet the Nine Suns Divine Tree? This is a sacred object belonging to this forest, you cannot get your hands on it! Leave quickly, and I will spare your lives!"

"Senior, calm down. We will leave now."

Chao Yao also realized that he couldn't beat or scold Qing Mu Kui, so he had to calm down and find a solution first.

Xiao Shitou also nodded quickly, agreeing with Chao Yao's words.

The two men slowly retreated until their figures disappeared from Qingmu Kui's sight.

However, they did not actually leave the Fantasy Forest, but hid in a secluded place not far from Qingmu Kui's territory.

Chaoyao and Xiao Shitou carefully observed the movements around them, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that Qingmu Kui did not catch up.

"I've seen it in the sect's library. There should be a lot of Nine Yang Divine Trees in the Fantasy Forest, because the Nine Yang Divine Tree is actually a species of tree!"

Chao Yao was lying on the branch of a towering tree, looking at the twinkling sunlight with a frown.

She actually couldn't figure it out. Although this thing was very precious, it shouldn't be guarded by a Mahayana demon beast like Qingmu Kui, right?

If Qingmu Kui had the chance to ascend to heaven, he would become a fairy beast in the future.

After a while, Chao Yao sat up suddenly, his eyes revealing a firm determination: "Little Stone, I decided to stay and look for a chance to get the Nine Suns Divine Tree."

Little Stone was startled and said quickly: "Sister Chaoyao, Qing Mu Kui is so powerful, how can we be its opponent?"

"It is precisely because of its power that the Nine Suns Divine Tree is so precious. We have come here after going through so much hardship, and I am unwilling to give up so easily. Besides, creating a space by yourself is an indispensable thing. Without the Nine Suns Divine Tree, the space will not have vitality."

"Sister, do you want to create your own space?"

Xiao Shitou looked at Chao Yao and asked seriously.

"Of course!"

Chao Yao sat up and said slowly: "I want my own space, it belongs only to me. So far, I have collected the Void Spirit Stone and the Millennium Mysterious Ice Essence, and I still lack the Nine Sun Divine Tree, the Spiritual Crystal and the Deep Sea Shark Pearl."

"elder sister……"

Xiao Shitou tentatively took Chao Yao's hand, and when he found that she did not resist, he quietly attached a layer of white halo to her fingertips.

“Your goals will be achieved.”

After hearing what Xiao Shitou said, Chaoyao couldn't help laughing. She looked at Xiao Shitou with a smile in her eyes: "Xiao Shitou, I'll lend you my good words."

However, that smile clearly contained a hint of casualness, as if he didn't take the words seriously.

She patted Little Stone's shoulder gently and said, "But the road ahead is difficult. It's not something you can achieve just by saying so."

Little Stone looked at Chao Yao with a serious and determined look: "Sister, I sincerely feel so."

Chao Yao was still smiling, and that smile looked particularly bright in the mottled light and shadow: "Okay, okay, I know you are doing this for my own good, and I appreciate it."

After that, she lay back on the branch, looked up at the sky, and murmured to herself: "But how can I get this Nine Suns Divine Tree..."

"Forget it. I don't want to think about it anymore. The Illusion Forest has enough spiritual energy. It's not impossible for us to stay here for a few days. Maybe my cultivation will increase a little."

Chao Yao closed his eyes and began to practice his internal skills, absorbing the rich spiritual energy around him with all his strength.

Little Stone stood by and protected her quietly.

As time slowly passed, a faint light gradually appeared on Chao Yao's body, and her breath gradually became steady and deep.

After an unknown amount of time, Chao Yao slowly opened his eyes, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "I didn't expect the spiritual power of this Fantasy Forest to be so pure. My cultivation has actually improved."

When Little Stone heard this, a happy smile appeared on his face: "Sister, this is good news. Maybe we will have a better chance of getting the Nine Sun Divine Tree."

Chao Yao nodded, but his expression was still solemn: "Although my cultivation has improved, it is still far behind Qing Mu Kui."

As he was speaking, a low roar suddenly came from the distance.

Chaoyao and Xiao Shitou looked at each other, their hearts tensed: "Could it be that Qing Mukui discovered us?"

The two of them cautiously approached the direction where the sound came from, only to see Qing Mu Kui fighting fiercely with the Shadow Python.

The body of the shadow python was as winding as a mountain range, stretching endlessly. The thick and long snake body was covered with strange black stripes, and each stripe flashed a dark light, as if it contained endless evil power.

Its eyes were like bottomless black holes, emitting a terrifying murderous light. Just one glance at them would make people feel as if they were being swallowed by the endless darkness.

The huge snake's mouth opened, its fangs were as sharp as swords, and the black venom it sprayed out was like a dense rain of arrows, carrying a deadly toxicity. Wherever it went, the grass and trees withered instantly and turned into a charred black. Even the land was corroded with a sizzling sound and emitting wisps of black smoke.

Where Qing Mu Kui and the Shadow Demon Python were, there were flying sand and rocks and howling winds.

The originally peaceful Fantasy Forest was now turned upside down by their fierce battle.

The surrounding trees shook violently under the impact of their powerful force, and branches and leaves fell one after another, like a green rainstorm.

The thick tree trunk could not bear the weight and fell to the ground with a crackling sound, raising a cloud of dust.

On the ground, dust was flying, forming patches of turbid mist, blocking part of the vision.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and gunpowder, making it difficult for people to breathe and almost nauseating.

Qing Mu Kui's eyes opened wide with anger burning in them. He kicked the ground hard with his strong and powerful limbs and rushed towards the Shadow Python with his huge body like a cannonball. His speed was so fast that it caused a gust of wind and sent sand and stones flying everywhere.

Its sharp claws swept through the air, bringing up a sharp wind sound, and grabbed the body of the Shadow Python fiercely. This grab contained a tremendous force, as if it was going to tear the heaven and earth apart.

The Shadow Python reacted extremely quickly, twisting its body as flexibly as lightning and narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.

At the same time, it opened its bloody mouth and spewed out a black poisonous mist. The poisonous mist quickly spread, and the air made a sizzling corrosive sound wherever it passed.

Qing Mu Kui's figure flashed, and he dodged the poisonous fog like a ghost. The green vines on his body instantly stretched out like countless whips, and with the sound of breaking wind, he lashed towards the Shadow Python fiercely.

The Shadow Python, being whipped, let out a sharp and piercing scream, making people's eardrums buzz.

Its thick tail swept across with force, colliding violently with the vines, producing dazzling sparks that illuminated the dim battlefield.

At this time, Qingmu Kui took advantage of the situation and jumped high, like a mountain rising from the ground, and his sharp long horns pierced the vital point of the Shadow Demon Python.

There was a mysterious green light lingering on the long horn, which contained powerful power.

Realizing the danger, the Shadow Python quickly twisted its body and used its iron-hard scales to block the attack. The scales collided with its long horns, making a sound of metal clashing that echoed throughout the valley.

At the same time, it opened its mouth and spewed out another stream of venom, which gushed out like a torrent.

Qing Mu Kui rolled sideways with agility and grace to avoid the venom.

Then it pounced on the Shadow Python again, leaving deep marks on its body with its claws like a storm. Blood gushed out from the wounds, staining the ground red.

The Shadow Python raised its head and howled in pain, its voice filled with pain and anger.

Its huge body rolled and twisted wildly, trying to entangle Qingmu Kui.

That huge body was like a giant python wrapping around its prey, with the force of a mountain pressing down on one's head.

For a moment, it was evenly matched between the two. The surrounding trees were broken one after another by the aftermath of their fight. The earth also trembled, and bottomless cracks appeared, as if the land was about to collapse and shatter in their fierce battle.

Chao Yao and Xiao Shitou were watching from the sidelines with fear in their hearts, but they kept their eyes fixed on the battle situation, looking for an opportunity to exploit.

"Sister, that snake probably can't beat Qing Mu Kui."

Xiao Shitou and Chaoyao hid in a tree hole of a big tree, quietly looking outside through the hole.

Chao Yao frowned and lowered his voice to say to Xiao Shitou: "These two guys are fighting so fiercely, let's find a chance to hide in Qing Mu Kui's cave. I felt it before, the Nine Yang Divine Wood Forest must be in Qing Mu Kui's cave."

Little Stone looked nervous, but he didn't dare to look away from the battlefield. "Sister, I'm small, and they may not be able to find me if I run over. Otherwise, I'll find a chance to run to the cave and dig a Nine Yang Divine Tree for you."

How can this be!

Chao Yao hurriedly shook his head and said seriously: "No, absolutely not, this is too dangerous. The situation in the cave is unclear. What if there are other unknown dangers in it? How can you deal with it alone? We must act together and take care of each other."

Little Stone bit his lip and looked at Chao Yao firmly, his eyes full of stubbornness: "Sister, this opportunity is rare. If we wait until they finish fighting and Qing Mu Kui recovers, we will have no chance. I am agile and can handle it even if there is danger."

Chao Yao frowned and pondered for a moment, his eyes fixed on the battlefield, and said, "Then let's observe and see how they fight. When they are exhausted and both sides are injured, we will seize the opportunity and rush over as quickly as possible."

Xiao Shitou nodded, and the two of them held their breath and continued to stare at the fierce battlefield.

At this time, the battle between Qing Mu Kui and the Shadow Python was nearing its end. Both sides were seriously injured and their movements became slow.

Many of Qing Mu Kui's scales fell off, and the green vines were broken in many places, with blood constantly oozing out;

The Shadow Python's body was covered with deep scratches, its black venom had been completely consumed, and it was gasping for breath.

Chao Yao fixed his eyes and whispered, "Now, Little Stone, follow me closely!"

After that, she took a deep breath, circulated her spiritual power, and rushed towards Qing Mu Kui's cave like an arrow. Little Stone followed closely behind her without hesitation.

Along the way, sand and stones were flying all over the sky, and branches were whipping them in the strong wind, leaving tiny wounds.

But they didn't care about all these. They had only one firm thought in their minds, which was to reach the cave as soon as possible.

Chao Yao waved the spirit sword, splitting the branches and stones blocking the way ahead, while Xiao Shitou nimbly dodged the falling debris.

Their figures rushed through the chaos like two streaks of lightning.

Finally, before Qingmu Kui and Shadow Python could react, they successfully rushed into the cave.
