Volume 2 That World Chapter 82: Horrible Roar
After Qi Ji bandaged Su Jingqiu's wound, the two of them rested on the spot.
Qi Ji's burst of meridian nourishing technique just now lasted for about a minute, and his physical strength was consumed by about half accordingly.
However, physical strength is not that precious to Qi Ji.
With the blessing of transcendence, his body has far beyond the upper limit of ordinary people, and also has far beyond ordinary people's recovery ability.
As long as he doesn't use the spirit-consuming skills of Jiang Mo and Wu Xiang, and only uses his physical body, even using the super-limit burst of "Li" will not be too much of a burden for him.
Combined with the meridian nourishing method after upgrading to the maximum level, it not only expanded his limits, but also doubled his efficiency during training and recovery.
In short, as long as his body's energy can keep up, he is now a perpetual motion machine.
Less than half an hour later, Su Jingqiu was still regulating his breathing silently, and Qi Ji had already stood up.
His physical strength has recovered to at least 90%.
Sensing Qi Ji's movement, Su Jingqiu also opened her eyes and looked at Qi Ji in surprise: "Are you back to normal?"
Qi Ji nodded: "About 80% or 90%."
Su Jingqiu was silent for a moment, then sighed softly, "What an enviable physique."
Then she stood up, patted her clothes lightly, and said, "Let's go."
Qi Ji could see that this girl's strength had not fully recovered, but she was strong-willed and couldn't stand being a burden to others, so she took the initiative to offer to go up.
The two continued to wind their way up the mountain path.
On the way, Su Jingqiu looked down and said softly, "If the time estimate is correct, the people from the Divine Sword Building are probably on their way up the mountain now."
She obviously didn't think that the Divine Sword Tower would not even be able to leave the forest.
Qi Ji agreed with her speculation and also expressed his own speculation: "I think Wang Zhige may not have the energy to compete in this competition after these assassination attempts, and the people in Longchang were not very strong before they became extraordinary. However, Dao Lian and Dao Qing from Wuxiang Temple are quite powerful and may be able to reach the top of the mountain."
Su Jingqiu nodded, her face still a little worried: "The problem now is not them, but the roaring dragon on the top of the mountain. When I think about looking for the king flag under its territory , I have a bad feeling."
Qi Ji touched his chin. Judging from Su Jingqiu's performance, she was much more afraid of the Raptor than the Swift Dragon. It seemed that this was a more difficult and terrifying monster than the Swift Dragon.
…
After about fifteen minutes, the two were able to look up and see the summit.
The Wanren Peak is indeed a bit desolate. Coming along the mountain path, all you can see on both sides are mostly rugged rocks and dry land under your feet. There is very little vegetation, which is in sharp contrast to the fertile forests below the mountain.
Just as he was about to make a concerted effort to reach the top of the mountain in one go, Qi Ji subconsciously felt a palpitation.
Su Jingqiu's performance was even more exaggerated. Her pupils obviously shrank violently. The next second, she immediately grabbed Qi Ji's wrist and dragged Qi Ji to hide behind a huge rock!
Qi Ji's sixth sense was giving him a crazy warning. He followed Su Jingqiu's footsteps obediently and hid behind a boulder. He was about to ask Su Jingqiu what happened.
Suddenly, there was a roar similar to the roar of planes and tanks on the inner earth, and a bit like the sound of large-caliber firearms firing!
Boom boom!
This time the roar was exactly the same as the one Qi Ji and the others heard at the foot of the mountain, but its volume and deterrent power were more than ten times greater!
Even Qi Ji could see the dust flying on the ground and the tiny stones bouncing around.
The source of the sound was the top of the mountain, no more than three hundred meters away from Qi Ji and the others!
After the roar ended, Qi Ji was about to go out, but was grabbed by Su Jingqiu and pressed behind a boulder.
Qi Ji looked at Su Jingqiu, but saw that her face was pale, and her weak left hand barely raised the index finger to her lips, making a gesture of silence.
A few seconds later, Qi Ji only felt the air around him vibrating violently, and in the midst of the fierce wind, the sound of something heavy falling to the ground was heard.
The ground was shaken by the heavy object falling to the ground, and the vibration was transmitted to Qi Ji's feet, which finally made him understand why Su Jingqiu had such a frightened expression.
An absolutely ferocious beast, a more oppressive and terrifying beast than the velociraptor.
It's coming nearby!
The two men hid behind a huge rock, and Qi Ji could not see the appearance of the ferocious beast.
Of course, he didn't dare to stick his head out to check. He could only imitate Su Jingqiu, turning pale, staying completely still, and not daring to make any sound.
The giant monster behind the boulder seemed to be of completely different style from the black velociraptor. It seemed to have no concept of covering up its own sound, and its claws made a harsh scraping sound against the ground as it walked.
Qi Ji heard it clearly. The giant beast's footsteps were facing away from them with its back facing them.
He couldn't help but quickly lean out to take a look, and then immediately retracted his head!
His expression was slightly shocked.
He finally saw the appearance of the ferocious beast clearly.
It was a giant beast about twenty meters long, walking on all fours. Its posture was somewhat similar to that of the velociraptor in the forest, except that compared to the velociraptor, the overall skeleton of this velociraptor was larger, and its size gave people a more violent sense of power.
Its head looks like that of a Tyrannosaurus Rex on Earth, and it has no hair on its body. Instead, it has a thick skin and strong-looking scales. Its color and pattern are similar to those of tigers on the Inner Domain Earth, an overall orange-yellow color with some black stripes.
In general, it is a bit like the flying dragon monster in the Nordic fantasy on Earth, but this guy's wings look like an extension of the front claws, and it doesn't look like it can fly long distances.
No matter how you look at it, this thing is not something that ordinary people can deal with.
The Outland is really too dangerous!
Fortunately, judging from the performance of this dragon, it does not seem that it has discovered any signs of biological activity in this area. Instead, it seems to be conducting a routine patrol of its territory.
After a while, it seemed to have finished its inspection and let out another huge roar. Then it walked to the edge of the cliff, leaned on the cliff, and seemed to be overlooking the forest below the mountain.
The next second, as Qi Ji was secretly looking over, the dragon suddenly exerted its strength and its entire body instantly jumped out of the cliff!
Qi Ji immediately chased after it out of curiosity and secretly looked outside, just in time to see the Honglong spread its wings and claws, flying straight towards a certain direction of the forest in a gliding posture.
Su Jingqiu also followed, her expression was obviously much more relaxed, and then she quickly said to Qi Ji: "The Honglong went hunting. This kind of monster has a huge appetite, and unlike the Xunlong, they don't like to drag the prey back to the nest to enjoy. They basically eat the prey on the spot after killing it, so once they leave the nest to hunt, they will not come back in a short time."
She then said, "Let's take advantage of this opportunity to get to the top of the mountain and find the king's flag!"
After Qi Ji understood the power of the Honglong, he deeply understood why Su Jingqiu was so afraid of this monster, and he immediately responded to Su Jingqiu's suggestion.
The two men sped up and rushed to the top of the mountain.
The top of Wanren Peak is a huge "platform" covering hundreds of square meters.
Of course, if it is called a platform, it is not that flat. There are rugged rocks and undulating rocks everywhere.
In the center of the platform, there is a small pit that is obviously concave, and on the edge of the pit, there is an exquisite and unique colorful flag.
Su Jingqiu's expression changed, and he brought Qi Ji quickly to the colorful flag that was almost as tall as a person.
"I don't know which senior has this weird taste..." She seemed a little helpless and a little angry. "It's really a bit too much. They actually planted the king's flag next to the dragon's nest."
Qi Ji was speechless when he heard her words. If that was the case, if Hong Long did not go down the mountain to hunt, then wouldn't they have to find a way to steal the royal flag right under Hong Long's nose?
Damn, this is the decision made by that big guy. He is really not afraid of killing these youngsters.
Qi Ji saw that Su Jingqiu's left hand was inconvenient, so he simply took the exquisite royal flag and pulled it down. He held the royal flag on his shoulder with his left hand and asked Su Jingqiu, "What do you say now? Should we wait here or go back to the mountainside?"
Su Jingqiu immediately said, "Of course I have to go down. We never know when Honglong will get sick and suddenly come back. Compared to Honglong, I would rather be besieged by the Divine Sword Tower and the Wuxiang Temple."
Qi Ji nodded in agreement, and the two immediately found a way to leave the peak.
…
More than ten minutes later, Qi Ji and Su Jingqiu were already far enough away from the top of the mountain, and both of them looked much more relaxed.
Qi Ji followed Su Jingqiu and saw that she was not so nervous anymore, so he just started chatting with her: "Senior Sister, there is something I have always wanted to ask you, but I have never found a chance to ask you."
"What's the problem?" Su Jingqiu turned around and responded.
Qi Ji organized his words and said, "Whether it's our Sword Pavilion or Sword Capital, it seems that there are only a few low-level extraordinary people to be seen. What's the reason?"
Su Jingqiu immediately replied: "It's normal. There aren't many extraordinary people to begin with, and most of them have gone to the 'front line' to slay demons. It's normal that you can't see them."
She then said, "Including me. After this martial arts competition is over, I will also start to break through to the extraordinary level. At that time, I will be immediately assigned to the front line to kill the foreign demons."
Qi Ji nodded and continued, "I've heard from Zi Jin before that the front lines of our Donghua Continent have been continuously invaded by foreign demons, and the situation seems to be quite tense."
"It is indeed quite tense..." Su Jingqiu said softly, "However, the tense situation makes it difficult for people to devote themselves to killing the foreign demons. The real reason why the extraordinary people take the initiative to go to the front line is that killing the foreign demons can gain quite important benefits..."
Before she finished speaking, she stopped and looked forward with a calm look.
Qi Ji seemed to sense something and looked over there.
Three people stood quietly on the mountain path.
The leader had pale skin, long dark red hair, and his eyes had a hint of red.
He had a scimitar on his waist and was looking at Qi Ji with a wild smile.
His voice was cold, yet filled with excitement.
"Finally I can fight you...Qi Ji!"
