C121 Deep Valley (1/2)
Not long after leaving the Lingyun City, Qin Shaojie bid farewell to Wen Ya. Then he went back into the Taihang Mountains alone.
Qin Shaojie was not unfamiliar with Taihang Mountains. Back then, before he had become a spirit opener, he had already traversed the Taihang Mountains and entered the Holy Flame Academy. Now, Qin Shaojie was a practitioner of Peak of Genuine Force.
Although he was still unable to contend against the magical beasts in the depths of Taihang Mountains, his strength had at least improved a lot compared to before.
Last time, he had been very cautious when entering the mountain. Other than the ferocious beasts, there was almost no other threat. However, this time, it was different. Cultivators could be seen shuttling back and forth between the mountains from time to time.
Presumably, this situation had something to do with the Assembly Token that Wen Ya was talking about. With the distance from here to Holy Flame Academy, if the assembly order were to spread out, perhaps there would be some in the Taihang Mountains.
Seeing that, Qin Shaojie picked a quiet path and walked towards the depths of the Tai Qing Mountain Range.
Right now, he had extremely good control of his own Qi, and every step he took was extremely light, even if he was not too far away from Qin Shaojie, it would be difficult to notice his existence.
As they went deeper and deeper, Qin Shaojie became increasingly cautious as well. The deeper they went, the more likely they were to encounter any Demon Beasts. Magical beasts were different from wild beasts. They absorbed the essence of the world and had the strength to fight against cultivators.
The beast Qin Shaojie killed in the blink of an eye, but not the beast. Not only was its defensive ability extremely strong, it also had intelligence, and most importantly, it was able to borrow the Profound Spirit Qi of heaven and earth. Forget about Genuine Force, even if Three Spiritual Realms s and Earthly Yuan Stage expert s were facing those strong magical beasts, they would still have to temporarily avoid danger.
Fortunately, Qin Shaojie was experienced enough to avoid any places where magical beasts might appear. Deep into the night, he found a quiet canyon.
The canyon was very close to the depths of the Taihang Mountains, so it was almost impossible for beasts to appear in this kind of place. All of them were demonic beasts, but once they were discovered, it would be very troublesome, so even Qin Shaojie had to be cautious.
The sound of water gurgling could be heard within the canyon. Under the cover of the moonlight, the low sound of a beast could be heard from time to time, making this place feel even more comfortable. Qin Shaojie carefully examined his surroundings. Within a radius of several tens of kilometers, there were at least three second grade spirit beasts. These second grade spirit beasts were comparable to the Peak of Genuine Force of humans;
But to become a magical beast, they all had their own territory, so they wouldn't casually step into the domain of other magical beasts. The gorge in front of him was in the domain of three magical beasts.
As long as he didn't cause too much of a commotion, it wouldn't attract the attention of the magical beasts.
The most important thing was that this place was a natural protective barrier. If anyone or any magical beast tried to enter this valley, it was very likely that they would alert these magical beasts.
After his gaze swept across the canyon, Qin Shaojie finally locked onto a huge rock in the middle of the canyon information.
The enormous boulder had already become incomparably smooth after being soaked in the water for years. With a leap, Qin Shaojie jumped onto the boulder with an area of several tens of meters.
With the aid of the moonlight, even though it was night here, one could still see very clearly.
”Let's do it here.”
Qin Shaojie was clearly very satisfied with this place, and he immediately said with a deep voice. After he touched the spatial ring on his finger, a gentle light flashed and a coffin appeared in front of Qin Shaojie.
This coffin was one of the unexpected treasures that Qin Shaojie had obtained from the Exquisite Auction.
When the coffin appeared, Qin Shaojie also felt a sense of camaraderie. This was the first time Qin Shaojie placed the coffin on the Taihang Mountains after he planted his own aura on it.
With a thought, the coffin lid directly opened, and Black Scorpion Man's corpse once again appeared in front of Qin Shaojie.
As his gaze continued to size up Black Scorpion Man, Qin Shaojie was also quite careful. Even though the aura being emitted by that soul was currently weaker than before, Qin Shaojie was still able to clearly sense it.
If he wanted to know what was going on with this soul fluctuation, perhaps he would have to wait until he truly controlled this coffin before he could confirm it.
Qin Shaojie took a deep breath, and used his profound energy to carefully move the Black Scorpion Man's corpse out. During this entire process, Qin Shaojie held his breath, afraid that he would accidentally awaken that soul strand of hers.
To be able to suppress the soul of a Black Scorpion Man, Qin Shaojie did not think that he was an ordinary person.
It had to be said that although this Black Scorpion Man was only a corpse, it was still heavy enough to weigh a thousand kilograms. If Qin Shaojie had not broken through to the Peak of Genuine Force, it would not be an easy task to pull it out.
