Chapter 102: The Trajectory of the Wind
In the red leaf forest surrounded by a circle, Qin Yong came here again.
Last time, it was because of the Water Yuan fruit that he came with Cai Fei Yun and Xu Donglin. This time, Qin Yong came alone. There was no one else to take care of him, which made it more dangerous, but for Qin Yong, it was an opportunity to let loose and cause some trouble in the Red Leaf Forest.
Carrying the Wind Cloud Sword, Qin Yong walked through the forest, feeling quite like a knight-errant. He couldn't help but smile to himself in satisfaction. At this moment, Qin Yong was still relatively relaxed, having tossed aside the annoying matters from the Task Hall. The tasks he had seen didn't hold much appeal for him either. For a martial artist who had only reached the 9th level of the Cai Qi Wu Jing realm, even the outer circle's inner regions were considered quite dangerous, let alone the middle circle. If someone saw Qin Yong here, they would definitely think he was crazy.
"The Xuan beast's territorial awareness is very strong, unless it goes further in, otherwise it can only be found." Qin Yong thought to himself.
Inside the circle, it is the place where the Xuan beast inhabits. In the outer area, the Xuan beast has almost allocated each territory, and as you move inwards, not only will you encounter stronger Xuan beasts, but also increase your chances of encountering them. Even Qin Yong doesn't want to take too much risk at this time. He can barely cope with one Xuan beast, but if there are two or more, he can only escape. Not to mention that escaping would be a waste of time, it's also uncertain whether he could escape or not, the Xuan beasts aren't easy to deal with after all.
"From here, the smell of blood is getting stronger, it seems that we are already very close to the Xuan Beast. Next, we need to be more careful." Qin Yong slowed down his pace, drew out Fengyun Sword and held it in his hand, proceeding cautiously.
As he walked through the forest, Qin Yong felt a sense of oppression, and the smell of blood in his nose grew heavier. His expression suddenly became serious. The mysterious beast ahead was probably not an ordinary low-level mysterious beast, and it had even surpassed the category of low-level mysterious beasts. Otherwise, Qin Yong would not have had such a strong feeling.
At this time, the best thing to do is to leave and not get any closer to avoid being discovered by the mysterious beast. However, Qin Yong did not want to give up like that, so he had no choice but to tread lightly and approach quietly, using the weeds, branches, and leaves in the forest as cover. Finally, Qin Yong saw the appearance of the mysterious beast, which made him gasp for breath and his expression turned somewhat unsightly.
What Qin Yong saw was a gigantic python, as thick as a person's waist, coiled up and looking at least over 10 meters long. Its yellowish-white teeth had a faint eerie glow, and it seemed to still have a hint of green color. This giant python was not only enormous but also venomous.
Most monsters are evolved from flying birds and wild beasts, but snakes are either huge with great strength or small with deadly venom. However, this python really scared Qin Yong. Its massive body, its mouth that was at least half a meter in diameter when open, its bite force was absolutely stunning, and it was also highly toxic, making it extremely terrifying.
It can be seen that this python is absolutely not an ordinary low-level Xuan beast, and it doesn't even feel like a mid-level Xuan beast, but in terms of actual strength, it might be even more terrifying than a mid-level Xuan beast. At the very least, Qin Yu's wariness towards this python far surpasses his wariness towards the Bloodthirsty Wild Ox.
What made Qin Yong's face turn ugly was not the terror of the python, but the several incomplete corpses beside it. It looked like seven or eight people had died here, and none of the bodies were complete, apparently the python had only eaten a part of them.
Finding fault is not a good habit. Qin Yong's face turned iron-green. If he couldn't see these corpses, Qin Yong wouldn't have any feelings, but seeing this scene, Qin Yong felt suffocated and uncomfortable in his heart. To be honest, as a human being, Qin Yong was not used to such scenes, especially since there were several female corpses among them. Some of the ones that hadn't died thoroughly had their internal organs and intestines on the outside, with only half of their bodies left, still twitching. Qin Yong suddenly felt his stomach churning, as if he was about to vomit.
This was Qin Yong's first time seeing a demonic beast eating a person, and although it had already finished eating, the remaining scene still made Qin Yong feel nauseous and angry. It is said that when snakes eat, they swallow their prey whole, but this python did not.
Can't let this python go, Qin Yong had a breath of air stuck in his chest, perhaps this was the true world of martial arts, being killed by other martial artists or dying at the mouth of a demon beast. Later on, Qin Yong would also adapt to it. But at this moment, no matter what, he couldn't calmly watch, even if he had personally killed other martial artists and demon beasts.
Let's go!
Qin Yong suddenly made a decision, and in an instant, he struck out with both his Void Step and Wind Cloud Swordsmanship simultaneously.
This was Qin Yong's subconscious action, the first time he simultaneously used two air operation talismans. Although permanent air operation talismans and restrictive air operation talismans have their differences, they also share some commonalities. With successive uses of the Virtual Tour Step, Qin Yong felt a series of mysterious sensations, his heart feeling somewhat itchy and discordant.
The LV1 pattern of Phantom Step, in fact, was just the first step of Phantom Step. Qin Yong used it repeatedly, although he cleverly connected them together, but after all, they were only the first step. This was the first discordant feeling, and with the continuous consumption of Innate Sword Qi, Qin Yong felt even more uncomfortable.
At this time, Qin Yong seemed to have a feeling that the step was not taken out like that, and it would be better to tread on it. In the running step method, the wind should not be an obstacle, but a help. He is not running against the wind at this time, but he is also affected by it. If he can grasp the direction of the wind, he will not only be able to run with the wind, but also use the wind force to reach a faster speed.
Gusts of wind blew past, intangible and elusive, free and nimble, descending from the sky and rising from the earth, present everywhere between heaven and earth. This was the realm of the wind. Qin Yong seemed to have gained some insight, but he didn't know where to start to grasp this realization.
His innate sword energy halved, Qin Yong arrived before the python. The python seemed to have not sensed Qin Yong's arrival, or perhaps it had, but was unable to react in time. The Wind Cloud Sword stabbed out, its power having been building up for a long time. With one stab, it seemed as if even the air currents were being stirred up.
Qin Yong's eyebrows jumped, and his heartbeat seemed to slow down all at once. Everything he saw became slow. It wasn't that the things around him were slowing down, but rather Qin Yong's thoughts had sped up. A mysterious state, with air currents surging forward in front of the sword body, forming irregular lines - this was the trajectory of the wind.
Every line was in a hurry to reveal the mystery, as if Qin Yong had taken the sword intent grass and saw those sword auras in the sword intent space. Qin Yong wanted to reach out and grab them, but soon realized that this was not the sword intent space, and he could see these trajectories only because of the sudden emergence of a mysterious state. At this time, the only thing he could do was to observe these trajectories carefully, and perhaps gain insight into the realm of wind, if he reached out to grab them, it would not only destroy the current mysterious state but also impossible to grasp anything.
