The Fourth Calamity: My Sect Has Countless Prodigies

Chapter 110 Exploring the Outer Range of the Mountains

"What's up with this newbie? Doesn't he even recognize me?"

Jiang Qingxue's unusual expression made even the sword immortal secretly suspicious.

He had never seen such a shy player before. Generally speaking, even beginners would become familiar with the game after a period of time.

Seeing that the other party did not respond for a long time, the sword immortal felt a little sad.

I wonder if this new player will post on the forum. If not, then his reputation for saving new players will be ruined.

The sword immortal sighed. Seeing that the woman lying on the ground still did not respond, he did not disturb her any further and walked into the depths of the dense forest with a worried expression.

He still had a task assigned by the sect leader that he hadn't completed yet, and he couldn't afford to waste too much time here.

With that thought in mind, the sword immortal no longer hesitated. He strode quickly towards Liu Yanzhen, leaving Jiang Qingxue watching his retreating figure, slightly apprehensive.

After the man had walked away, Jiang Qingxue's expression returned to normal. She clenched her fists inwardly and thought, "Jiang Qingxue, you are really useless. You don't even dare to thank your savior."

The swordsman, unaware of the other's thoughts, cheerfully walked deeper into the dense forest. This time, he planned to take a different route to Liuye Town.

Exploring new maps is something he enjoys doing; he didn't dare to roam around recklessly before because he wasn't strong enough.

But now that my cultivation level is higher, it's not bad to be able to go to other places to take a look.

The sword immortal passed through the depths of the dense forest and unknowingly entered the outer perimeter of the Lianyun Mountains.

The Lianyun Mountains are divided into two areas: an inner and an outer area. The outer area is mainly inhabited by some relatively common spirits and monsters.

Of course, in certain special places, powerful demonic beasts at the late stage of Qi Refining may also appear.

These special places often have abundant resources, or rather, other rare and precious materials, resulting in an exceptionally rich spiritual energy that can help demonic beasts cultivate.

For example, the spirit lake that Feilong Zaitian and the others encountered earlier.

The sword immortal felt a chill run down his spine even from just a few words on the forum about the white snake's strength.

After all, being able to kill four people in succession from dozens of miles away, and even control water, is truly terrifying.

With this in mind, the sword immortal became more cautious and carefully followed the mountain path in front of him.

The mountain path was extremely narrow, with many dead branches and pebbles scattered around it.

The mountain path leads upwards, and the sword immortal also climbs along it.

One step, two steps.

The sword immortal walked slowly along the muddy path, and just as he reached the last platform, a bright and clear view suddenly appeared before him.

The narrow mountain road had vanished, replaced by a vast plain.

In stark contrast to the previously steep terrain.

The sword immortal stood on the mountain ridge, his gaze passing over the undulating mountains and landing on the vast, boundless plain.

The spiritual herbs spread like a carpet to the horizon. Several streams meander down from the mountains, shimmering with silver light, and merge into shallow pools.

Occasionally, a spirit deer would leap out of the grass, startling a flock of spirit birds. The sword immortal took a deep breath, letting the spiritual energy permeate his lungs, and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This place is truly a blessed land. If our sect could be built here, wouldn't it be much better than building it in that other area?"

It's no wonder he thought that way, mainly because the sect's original location wasn't very good.

Not only is it located on the edge of the Lianyun Mountains, which means that players have to travel a long way to go if they want to go deep into the Lianyun Mountains to kill monsters and level up, but many things in the sect's blessed land are also not perfect.

Compared to this resource-rich open plain, it's a world of difference.

It's no wonder the sword immortal thought that way, since players can resurrect infinitely, and even if they are in the middle of a plain, it is quite easy to withstand the onslaught of monsters.

The sword immortal's gaze swept across the plain, where all sorts of demonic beasts swarmed.

There are countless levels. Once he returns to safety and logs onto the forum, he must share this leveling paradise with others.

The sword immortal thought this, but did not enter the open plain.

The plains are teeming with monsters, and the open terrain presents numerous dangers, making it easy to find yourself surrounded and annihilated.

His current strength is too weak; there's no need for him to waste any more time here.

With this thought in mind, the sword immortal no longer hesitated and immediately strode towards the forest on the other side.

Upon entering the forest, the swordsman's field of vision instantly narrowed.

The trees are towering and their branches and leaves are lush.

A few rays of sunlight occasionally pierced through the tree canopy, scattering down and illuminating the road ahead.

The swordsman took a deep breath and carefully made his way through the forest, a place no one had ever been before.

If you're not careful, you could easily be ambushed by some kind of monster and killed.

Just then!

A peculiar commotion suddenly arose from the canopy.

The sword immortal frowned, instantly becoming wary.

Such commotion is rarely a good sign in dense forests.

Sure enough, a giant bird swooped down, its sharp beak aimed straight at the sword immortal's heart.

The sword immortal reacted quickly, leaping away from the giant bird's attack, drawing his longsword, and thrusting it straight at his opponent.

He didn't recognize the bird, nor did he know its specific weaknesses.

However, basic counterattacks and combat techniques are universal.

After several rounds of fighting, since their cultivation levels were similar and the sword immortal's magic weapon was of better quality, he actually gained the upper hand for a time.

Seeing that it couldn't capture the bird, the giant bird gave up its attack and flew out of the treetop.

The sword immortal sheathed his sword, looked at the fleeing giant bird, and sneered, "You stupid bird, I'll deal with you when my cultivation level is higher."

Having said that, he continued walking forward and soon passed through the forest.

The sword immortal did some quick calculations and realized he had probably overlooked his current predicament.

He first explored the outer perimeter of the Lianyun Mountains from the edge, and then walked through the forest from the outer perimeter.

Judging from its normal speed, it should be approaching the edge area by now.

It might not take more than ten minutes to officially step out of the dangerous situation.

Thinking this, the sword immortal breathed a sigh of relief. Exploring the outer perimeter of the Lianyun Mountains was still very stressful for him.

A person without companions must always be vigilant.

This kind of behavior is also very energy-consuming.

The sword immortal walked slowly along the mountain path, parting the bushes as he continued forward.

However, at that moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

It was a cultivator, fleeing at breakneck speed, as if something was chasing him.

Something is wrong!

The sword immortal's mind went blank, and he immediately retreated to attack.

At the same time, he ducked down, blending himself into the surrounding environment, concentrating his breath and mind to ensure he was not discovered.

As the cultivator ran past, the demonic beasts chasing after him also rushed over.

It was a giant firebird, but even the sword immortal didn't know exactly what it was.

All that could be seen was the bird's feathers glowing with fire, its wings flapping as if flames were rising.

"This detour was definitely worth it. Not only did we discover a great place to level up, but we also encountered so many strange and exotic beasts."

The sword immortal sighed inwardly, quite satisfied with what he had gained on this trip.

But a sudden change occurred.

When the firebird reached the sword immortal, its wings suddenly trembled violently.

The flames burned away the surrounding vegetation and rocks, revealing the figure of the sword immortal.

The firebird clearly sensed the sword immortal's aura, turned around, and the two locked eyes, speechless for a moment.

"Would you believe me if I said I was just here to observe?" The sword immortal gave an awkward smile and immediately ran away.

He couldn't discern the true strength of that firebird, but conservatively estimated it to be at the late stage of Qi Refining.

This level of monster is not something a mere player like him can afford to mess with.

Fortunately, after running for a while...

He noticed that the firebird wasn't chasing him, but instead continued rushing towards the monk.

Sword Immortal Sword escaped the pursuit and lay on a nearby tree, panting heavily.

He really risked his life running just now; he almost died.

The terror of the late-stage Qi Refining realm is no joke; a single area-of-effect (AOE) attack from them could almost instantly kill him.

"The situation is still relatively amicable. The firebird has already gone far away, and that cultivator hasn't noticed me either." The sword immortal withdrew his hand from the tree trunk. "In that case, this trip to the Lianyun Mountains can come to an end. It would be best to hurry to Liuye Town."

He took out a map, quickened his pace, and headed towards Liuye Town.

At this moment, his good buddy, Big Sword, was still in dire straits, waiting for the Sword Immortal to come and rescue him.
