Chapter 174 Golden Retriever
Jiang Hao stared blankly at the situation in his meridians, his heart was shocked and frightened.
The originally bright and bright moon ice beads became black and thunderous. Although they were still emitting wisps of white light, the feeling of being weak was as if they had lost half of their life.
In the meridian stream under the bright moon ice beads, the stream water is still abundant, but the surging momentum is much smaller, slowly flowing, with an unprecedented joy.
The situation was obvious, and the meridians and cultivation were severely damaged. His current strength, let alone Shui Linglong, may not even be able to reach the middle grade of Shui Qinglie, and it is probably the same as Shui Qinglie Lower grade.
This is consistent with the cultivation level shown after the Xuezang Technique was activated. Moreover, perhaps it is precisely because of the Xuezang Technique that Jiang Hao was unable to discover the decline of his true cultivation level at the first time.
Jiang Hao's heart couldn't help but sink, and he felt a little panic.
Originally, he came to participate in this Demon Realm trial based on the ardent expectations of the teachers in the academy. As for the generous rewards rumored before, he basically looked down on it. So he planned to act low-key after coming in and fool it.
However, after the official read the official document and learned that those who entered the third grade could be exempted from Linglong, Jiang Hao ignited his ambition and strengthened a strong desire in his heart: he must enter the third grade and avoid Linglong! To ensure that he entered the third grade, he must have the strength and confidence to win the championship.
Of course, he has strength. It is very certain to release Shui Linglong's cultivation level and crush a group of Shui Lingli cultivators. Moreover, you only need to quietly let go of some critical moments a few times, and you can rush forward without knowing it.
But now, Shui Linglong's cultivation level is gone, and only Shui Qinglie's lower-level cultivation level is left. With such strength, how can he enter the third grade? How can he win the championship?
Also, how did this huge cultivation damage cause?
Jiang Hao immediately thought of his soul leaving his body when he heard the news of the queer and fainting later, and his heart suddenly became like a mirror.
It turned out that even though he escaped the blatant blockade in front of the Jiaofang Gate, he did not escape the sneaky plot behind others. He was finally plotted and suffered extremely heavy injuries.
No wonder Elder Yu said many inexplicable words before entering the scroll. He must have known it as if he had seen the fire.
"Jiang Hao, Jiang Hao!" A domineering voice came, and then the prince supported his waist with one hand and walked over with a grin. Behind him were a few monks who also grinned, and they looked like they were terrifying.
A trace of doubt flashed through Jiang Hao's mind: No, how did he get together with his acquaintances? Is there something wrong with it? If that's the case, this trial would be too unfair.
A dog-legged shouted loudly: "Bold Jiang Hao, Your Highness, Prince Dongping, are you so negligent!"
Jiang Hao frowned, bowed his hand randomly, then turned around, activated his full cultivation, and used Jinghong Stepping Technique, which did not need to be leapfrogged in the air, and went to the road with all his might. In a blink of an eye, he bypassed a slope and disappeared without a trace.
While running, Jiang Hao remembered what Mr. Shen once said.
"I have a piece of advice for you in this Demon Realm Trial. The farther away from the royal family, the better... Your scheming is too bad and it is difficult to deal with them."
Sure enough, I couldn't be guarded against, and when I was most happy, I fell into someone else's plot and lost my strength.
So, who is the mastermind?
Jiang Hao felt that it was difficult to guess who made the move, but what can be guessed is that the mastermind behind the scenes is likely to be related to two people. One is that the seventh prince Bing Qian has emerged, which is the backhand he had arranged long ago.
Second, the Prince of King Dongping who participated in the trial was probably trying to be the leader, so he was cleaning up competitors that threatened him.
This is a serious royal grandson, and he is the prince of King Dongping. If he really wins the championship, it will be the glory of the royal family.
Such people cannot be provoked or taken care of. The best way is to avoid them far away. Everyone can rely on their own abilities and work hard.
Jiang Hao ran while observing the situation around.
At this moment, the time in the small world of the Demon Realm is similar to that in the outside world, and it is also in the evening and the dusk is faint.
There are undulating slopes around, covered with green grass, and not far away is the towering mountain of black beads. This should be what Xue Yu envoy calls the Mingling Mountain. The mountain does not look very high, probably similar to the Yueshan that Jiang Hao had seen before, but the radius is extremely wide, and there are endless peaks on both sides of the sight.
Jiang Hao couldn't help but recall the scroll. Indeed, the mountain peaks above the scroll were like this. They were lying across the scroll and could only climb the mountains honestly, without any shortcuts.
Jiang Hao ran hard and climbed to the foot of the mountain in a blink of an eye. Without any hesitation, he immediately began to climb.
He didn't want to cross the mountains overnight, but he needed to find a safe hiding place before it was completely dark so that he could refine the spirit crystals and make up for the damage in his cultivation to the greatest extent.
Even though his cultivation level was damaged, Jiang Hao still did not give up on the idea of winning the championship. On the contrary, he ignited endless fighting spirit.
Even if I only have the lower level of Shui Qinglie now, so what?
Master, I am a person who can refine spiritual crystals. The speed of replenishing my strength is beyond your imagination!
Don't try to trap me.
What's more, I have magical artifacts like the dazzling cone, sharp blades like the Nirvana Sword, and treasures like the beads. With such a strong and solid support, as long as I give it a try, there is still great hope of winning the championship.
In addition to the inherent dangers in the small world, there are also some bastard tricks.
Thoughts were turbulent, Jiang Hao's hands and feet did not pause at all. He climbed the relatively soothing rocks at the foot of the mountain, moving up quickly.
The dusk became even deeper, the trees on the mountain gradually increased, and the scenery in sight became dimmer.
Jiang Hao still did not pause. He was on guard all over, his eyes tried hard to capture everything in the mountains and forests, and climbed up quickly.
Finally, before it was completely dark, Jiang Hao found a huge protruding rock, and under the rock, there was a shallow cave that could barely beneath it.
Although it is not ideal, it can only be here. If you continue to climb, if you encounter a powerful beast, you will have to get involved and delay the refining of the spirit crystal in vain. This is very unbeautiful.
Jiang Hao sat cross-legged in the cave, took out the jade snail, stimulated the barrier, then thought for a moment, decisively took a clear pill, then took out two spiritual crystals, held one in each of his left and right hands, activated the spirit gathering technique, and began to refine it.
This is the first time Jiang Hao has taken it since he has refined the Qinglie Pill.
In fact, the elixir of Qinglie Pill is too rare. The cold water sprouts and Lingdong fruits are only available in Lingyun Mountain. Therefore, Jiang Hao is more willing to take the silver-patterned cloud mist pill that is easily obtained by the elixir.
Now things are urgent, and it doesn’t matter whether it is rare or not. Effect is the most important thing.
When the elixir entered the mouth, the medicinal power quickly spread in the meridians, and then began to extract the spiritual energy from the spiritual crystal of Jiang Hao's palm.
With his comprehensive and detailed understanding of the meridians, Jiang Hao immediately felt the difference between Qinglie Pill and Silver-patterned Cloud Mist Pill.
The Silver-patterned Cloud Mist Pill draws spiritual energy very quickly, while the Qinglie Pill is even better, and the speed of extracting spiritual energy is faster.
Moreover, the spiritual power drawn by the Qinglie Pill is quite thick. If the silver-patterned Cloud Mist Pill draws a dense silk thread, then the Qinglie Pill draws a lot of it like a thick rope.
The consequence of this is that after such a large amount of rapid spiritual energy poured into the meridians, Jiang Hao immediately felt a swelling and pain all over his body.
However, Jiang Hao's meridians have undergone various temperings, and this swelling and pain is nothing at all, it just made him frown.
Soon, as the spiritual energy wandered through the meridians, the swelling and pain also wandered around the whole body, and then it became more and more gentle until it was completely unsatisfied.
Jiang Hao felt much more relaxed. He divided a wisp of soul to pay attention to the movements around him, and then continued to activate the meridians. The spiritual energy extracted from the spirit crystal quickly refined into fog, condensed into water droplets, dripping into the meridian stream, making a dense ding-dong sound, ethereal and distant, like a fairy music.
An hour passed quietly, and two hours passed slowly...
When the sky was lightly bright, a hint of alert suddenly flashed through Jiang Hao's heart. He immediately stopped practicing and opened his eyes and saw that about two or three feet away from him, there was a huge ferocious beast!
The beast is golden all over, with a body of more than one meter long. Its head and face are as fierce as lions and tigers, but its body is as handsome as a horse. The long golden mane on its back is neatly draped on both sides of its body, as bright as silk. Short legs are covered with golden scales on its legs. On top of its four feet the size of a sea bowl, short golden retrievers stand, like upright sharp thorns. Between the toes, black hooks are faintly visible, shining with a cold light similar to steel. After the body, a thick tail hangs down obliquely, shaking twice from time to time, like a steel whip.
Jiang Hao was shocked and frowned. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the ferocious beast coldly, and quickly thought about it in his heart.
He recognized the ferocious beast.
According to the records of birds and beasts, this is a golden-haired beast. Its flesh, fur, organs, bones, and even the scales and claws on its four legs are all very rare pill materials.
However, Jiang Hao must not have the intention to collect alchemy materials now. He is thinking about other records in the classics.
This beast is cruel and violent, running like flying, with extraordinary combat power. It is easy to kill and difficult to subdue. The other monks, either fighting or fleeing, rely on their ability.
In other words, with Jiang Hao's current low-level strength, it is very likely that he cannot beat it or escape it.
There is no way, I can only use those reliances.
Jiang Hao stared at the golden-haired beast with his eyes tightly, first quietly removed the jade snail barrier, then took out the dazzling cone from the storage ring and held it in the palm of his left hand.
He then clearly saw that the golden beast's eyes were stagnant, as if he was a little surprised.
Hey, do you monster actually know how powerful the dazzling cone is?
He calmly took out the Nirvana Sword, held it in his right hand, and injected spiritual power at the same time, which stimulated it to three feet long and waved it a few times.
On the other side, the golden-haired beast suddenly raised its head and roared lowly. The sound penetrated the clouds and cracked silk, shaking the mountains and forests. Jiang Hao's ears roared, and his soul was actually a little excited.
