Chapter 577 Encounter (Two Chapters in One)

On the mountainside of the towering mountain, two men and one woman were heading towards the top of the mountain in an orderly manner.

"Click."

The middle-aged man, who was calm and self-confident, walked at the front to clear the way. He waved the giant scythe with a light golden aura in his hand, and easily cut off the thorns and vines blocking the way.

"call……"

Climbing all the way to the top of the mountain consumes a lot of energy, and the breath in the mouth is a little unstable. It is time to stop and take a rest.

The calm middle-aged man turned his head and said to the two apprentices following him, "We are about to reach the top of the mountain. Let's stop and rest before setting off."

"Yes." The young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes nodded, and the three of them sat on the ground in a relatively flat place.

The middle-aged man, who was calm and confident, injected spiritual energy into the silver-white ring on his left ring finger, and a pale golden light flashed across the surface of the ring.

The next second, three kettles and a small paper bag appeared out of thin air.

The two apprentices looked at the magic storage device worn by their master with envy in their eyes.

"Here, drink some water and eat something!" The middle-aged man, who was not angry and proud, handed the things in his hands to the two apprentices.

When the small paper package is opened, there are some exquisitely made pastries, which make people very appetizing just by looking at them.

"Tons, tons, tons..." The young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes took the kettle, opened the lid, and took a swig. The beautiful girl sitting next to him was very reserved, drinking in small sips.

After drinking the water, the two reached out and picked up a piece of exquisite pastry and ate it with relish.

After swallowing the cake in his mouth and taking a sip of water, the young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes said to the master who was looking at the scenery in the distance.

"Master, there will be an auction next month. I heard that there will be an auction of space crystals at that time. If I buy that space crystal, can you help me make a storage spiritual device?"

When the middle-aged man, who was calm and self-confident, heard his apprentice speak, he retracted his gaze from the distance and turned his head to look at the other person, with a smile on his serious expression.

"Of course you can, but the price of space crystals is not cheap.

And if there is really a space crystal auction at the auction, there will definitely be a lot of people competing, and you may not be able to get it. "

"Senior brother, what the master said is true! If there is really a space crystal auction in the auction next month, all the powerful families will definitely compete to bid.

With your little savings, you will definitely not be able to compete with them in the end. "The beautiful girl said with a smile.

"Um..." The young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes raised his hand and scratched his head, a frustrated expression suddenly appeared on his face.

The middle-aged man, who was calm and self-confident, saw that his apprentice was shocked and comforted him, "Actually, it's not suitable for you to have a spiritual storage device now. There is a saying that a man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a treasure.

When your cultivation is stronger, it would be better to consider owning a spiritual weapon for storage. "

The beautiful girl who was nibbling on the delicate pastries opened her red lips and echoed when she heard this.

"I heard someone tell me something before. A kid from a family who was similar to ours in cultivation went on a long trip. On the way, he revealed that he had a magic weapon for storing things. Then he was targeted by some people with evil intentions, and he lost his life.

Although the family of the child of the aristocratic family learned the news afterwards, they found those guys with evil intentions, and made them unable to survive or die, so as to avenge the child of the aristocratic family who died.

But what could be the result? After all, there is no way for dead people to come back to life..."

"Yeah." The young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes listened to what his master and junior sister said, and thought about it seriously. He felt that it was not suitable for him to obtain a storage spiritual weapon at this stage, or he should wait until his cultivation becomes stronger in the future. Later, think about it again.

The middle-aged man who was not angry and proud saw the disappointment on his apprentice's face disappear, and then showed an expression of relief, and then opened his mouth to explain to his apprentice.

"Guan Su, on the last stretch of the road, there is a high probability that we will encounter strange beasts with second-level high-level cultivation or above. If we do encounter them, don't panic. Protect your junior sister first..."

"Yes, master, I will protect my junior sister first and won't let her get hurt." Guan Su assured, patting his chest.

"Senior brother, I can protect myself..." Zhang Xiuqin said.

"Hurry up and break through to the middle of the second stage. Only then can you say such words to make people feel confident..." Guan Su has an upright personality and said straightforwardly to the junior sister who lacked confidence.

"Hmph..." Zhang Xiuqin snorted unconvinced and muttered, "I will try to break through when I get back."

Liu Xianhe watched the two apprentices bickering with a kind smile on his face.

After resting for a while, the three of them packed up their things and set off again.

As time goes by, the sun in the sky sets toward the western horizon.

It's past four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun in the sky will change color soon. At this moment, there is not much time left before the sun sets completely.

The three of them, Liu Xianhe, looked at the top of the mountain just around the corner, with joyful smiles on their faces.

When they arrived at this place, they experienced many dangers on the way. Seeing that they were about to arrive at their destination, they couldn't help but feel more relaxed.

"We're finally reaching the top of the mountain. I'm really tired after this trip!" Zhang Xiuqin raised her right hand, wiped the fine sweat from her smooth forehead with the back of her hand, and then used her thumb to brush her hanging black hair behind her ears.

"If this area hadn't been banned from flying, we would have reached the top of the mountain a long time ago." Guan Su broke some branches blocking the road in front of him, calmed down his somewhat rapid breathing, and said.

"The sun will set soon. We have to speed up a little. You should follow closely." Liu Xianhe turned around and said after listening to the voices of the two apprentices behind him.

As soon as he finished speaking, before his two disciples could respond, something strange happened in the distance.

"call……"

The sound of heavy breathing was very obvious in this quiet environment. Liu Xianhe and the other two people clearly noticed the unusual movement.

"Huh?!!!" The relaxed smile on Liu Xianhe's face disappeared, and he turned his head to look ahead with a serious expression.

"What's the sound?" Guan Su didn't respond. At this time, the junior sister behind him raised her finger and pointed to a leafy forest in front of her and said, "There, that's where the sound came from..."

"Be careful, is there something hiding in that woods?" Liu Xianhe reminded his two apprentices, and then he used his mental power to explore the woods in the distance.

"Roar……"

There was a loud roar from the leafy woods, and a huge creature crawled out of the woods.

This huge creature has a body length of nearly five meters, a huge head, a slender neck, and strong limbs. The surface of the body is covered with brown scales, and its tail swings around like a metal whip, making a whistling wind sound.

Liu Xianhe recognized this strange beast crawling out of the woods at a glance. At the same time, his mental perception also accurately identified the cultivation level of this strange beast. He immediately said loudly to the two apprentices with a solemn expression.

"It's a second-level peak giant lizard, you two hurry down the mountain..."

Guan Su and Zhang Xiuqin turned pale. When they heard what Liu Xianhe said, they immediately turned around and went down the mountain without saying anything.

It was easy to go up the mountain but difficult to go down. The steep terrain made the two people go down the mountain very slowly.

The giant lizard, who was sleeping in the woods, suddenly heard some noises not far away and slowly woke up from his sleep.

Then, it sniffed the air and discovered that a stranger had entered its territory.

So he crawled out of the woods, wanting to see which blind guys dared to trespass into his territory.

"Ho...human?"

The giant lizard did not expect that three humans were intruding into its territory without permission.

It had not tasted the taste of humans for decades and missed it very much. It roared excitedly and a terrifying sound wave enveloped the three people like Liu Xianhe.

Guan Su and Zhang Xiuqin were dazzled by the sound wave and had splitting headaches. They gritted their teeth and speeded down the mountain.

"call out."

Liu Xianhe took out an exquisite crossbow from the storage device and quickly activated it. A golden stream of light shot out, and a whistling sound that cut through the air reached his ears.

"Ding."

The arrow hit the giant lizard and failed to break through the opponent's defense, leaving only a shallow white mark on its brown scales.

"Roar..." The giant lizard looked disdainfully at Liu Xianhe, who was holding a spiritual weapon and a crossbow. He felt that this human's attack could only bring some pain to him and was too weak.

"Hmph." Liu Xianhe saw the look of disdain in the giant lizard's eyes, and just snorted coldly, thinking to himself, "I never thought of breaking through your defense directly."

The arrow that hit the giant lizard fell to the ground and immediately emitted a dazzling golden aura.

Invisible energy fluctuations spread around, covering a large area.

All the vegetation in the area affected by the invisible energy grew rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, they grew to several times their original length.

Some spiked thorns and vines wrapped around the giant lizard's body, trapping it firmly.

Originally, the giant lizard was very disdainful of Liu Xianhe, but now it reacted belatedly. It knew that the other party had just attacked it, and did not intend to hurt itself. It just wanted to trap itself and save the lives of the two escapees. Weak humans buy time.

"Roar..." The giant lizard felt that he was being played and was very angry. He roared and his momentum increased a lot.

"Pah, pah, pah..."

The thorns and vines wrapped around the giant lizard were torn off as he struggled.

"Buzz."

The arrow that fell to the ground was still shining with dazzling golden light, and the invisible power it emitted was still affecting a large area.

The thorns and vines torn apart by the giant lizard regenerated quickly, and then entangled him again.

"Roar..." A roar came from the giant lizard's open bloody mouth.

It was bored by these thorns and vines that were constantly regenerating. It exerted force and rushed to the arrow that was blooming with dazzling golden light. It raised its left foot and stepped on it.

"Click."

The arrows blooming with dazzling light were stepped on by the giant lizard. The affected thorns and vines in Zhou Dynasty lost the influence of invisible energy and no longer continued to regenerate. They fell limply to the ground, without the previous energy. Fierce momentum.

"What a powerful momentum. This giant lizard should be about to break through to the early stage of the third stage."

Liu Xianhe sensed that the spiritual energy fluctuations emitted by the alien beast in front of him were much stronger than his own, and he immediately deduced that the opponent was a second-level peak alien beast that was about to break through.

With the same level of cultivation, most alien beasts are more powerful than human practitioners.

As for this second-level peak beast that was about to break through, if Liu Xianhe didn't use spiritual weapons to fight the opponent, defeat would only be a matter of time.

"call out……"

He activated the spiritual weapon crossbow in his hand and shot out another arrow.

As before, Liu Xianhe did not intend to injure the other party with the spiritual weapon in his hand, just to buy his two apprentices time to escape.

"Ding."

The arrow hit the giant lizard, fell to the ground, and then had the same effect as before, affecting the plants in the surrounding area to trap the giant lizard.

It's a pity that the second-level peak alien beast is not a fool. After knowing Liu Xianhe's intention, he thought of how to deal with it when the opponent fired the arrow.

The arrows blooming with dazzling golden light fell to the ground, exuding invisible power and affecting the plants in a large area around them.

Soon, before the affected thorns and vines came over to entangle the giant lizard, the opponent had already stretched out a foot and stepped on it.

"Click."

The arrows were destroyed and the affected thorns and vines returned to peace.

Liu Xianhe's face became very solemn when he saw that the alien beasts had already found a way to deal with them.

"Roar..." Seeing that the two weak humans who had escaped earlier had disappeared, the giant lizard didn't want the delicious food to slip away, and then mobilized the spiritual energy in its body to launch a ferocious attack on Liu Xianhe.

When Liu Xianhe saw the strange beast rushing towards him, he did not panic. He first put away the spiritual weapon bow and crossbow in his hand, and then took out a piece of jade with carved patterns and wore it around his neck.

"Buzz."

He touched the jade pendant with his fingers, and the spiritual energy gathered at his fingertips was injected into it. The jade pendant immediately moved. It turned out that it was a spiritual weapon.

Green light emanated from the spiritual weapon jade pendant and quickly covered Liu Xianhe's body, as if he was wearing a blue battle suit.

The giant lizard that had already arrived used all four legs to make a fierce leap and flew toward Liu Xianhe. Liu Xianhe, who was wearing a green battle suit, was not afraid of danger.

His reaction speed was very fast. He squatted down, jumped to the side, and narrowly avoided the giant lizard's flying attack.

"boom."

The giant lizard, which weighed several tons, hit the place where Liu Xianhe was standing, creating a shallow pit on the ground.

It turned its head to look at the enemy who had avoided its attack, its eyes glowed with golden light, and then it shot out two beams of light.

"call out."

The golden energy beam appeared so suddenly that Liu Xianhe, who had just landed, had no time to dodge and was hit immediately.

"Boom..."

A loud noise shook the earth and the earth, and a violent explosion occurred where Liu Xianhe, who was attacked by the golden beam, was.

Smoke and dust swept all around, and the shock wave generated by the explosion caused many stones to roll down the mountain. Liu Xianhe's position was obscured by the diffuse dust, making it impossible to see his current condition.
