Talisman Emperor
Chapter 333 Follows Like a Shadow
This place was a stretch of stone located on the edge of the extreme depths of the Forest of gloom and huge jagged and oddly shaped boulders were scattered all around. Some of the stones were strangely shaped even as high as 3 km, but only slightly over 30k in diameter, and when viewed from afar, it was like a spear that pierced straight into the sky, stand proudly there without fear of wind or snow.
Wu ~ Wu ~ Wu ~
A piercing cold wind like a blade flashed past the layers of rock. As it passed through the large rocks with a strange shape, the wind emitted a sharp and ear-piercing sound that sounded like crying, and it was like a wailing vengeful spirit, but it also looked like a demon who was shouting sharply.
This place is a dangerous place behind Gloom Forest – Evilstone!
Unlike the Dark Forest, there were no living creatures in Evilstone, as the spirit energy here dried up, and the surroundings were extremely poor. A strange wind blew through this place all year round, and when it entered the ears, it would cause various hallucinations to appear in one's mind and captivate one's soul. A little carelessness can cause a person to lose his soul and make them turn into dried corpses.
Moreover, the deeper one traveled to Evilstone, the stronger the gales became, and the hallucinations created by them became even more terrifying. Compared to the bloody battle that occurred between the ferocious beasts in the Dark Forest, Evilstone was undoubtedly even more terrifying.
Because this is a natural disaster that is impossible to guard against.
At this moment, a group of black-clothed figures stood respectfully in a hidden spot in Evilstone, but their expressions were extremely heavy and unsightly. Their target had escaped from under their eyes within a single breath and had even killed three of their friends. This result caused their hearts to be covered by a shadow so dense that it was impossible to dissolve.
Her bloody clothes fluttered as her black hair waved, Rose stood still on the strangely shaped rock, and her icy-cold eyes contained no emotion in the slightest or even the slightest hint of fluctuation.
Everyone was silent, and only the sound of the loud wailing of the wind resounded in the air, and it carried an energy that took away one's soul.
Not too long later, Rose suddenly raised her head, and another black-clothed figure revealed a wary expression. There was no need for orders, as they all instantly made preparations to do battle.
"Rose, it's me!" A soft voice like water sounded from a distance. Accompanying this voice was a handsome man who had dimples on his left cheek when he smiled, who had a sharp chin, white skin, and a smile at the corner of his mouth, which was a very bright, and he arrived before everyone in the blink of an eye.
The handsome man was dressed in snow-white clothes and had a smile on the corner of his mouth, yet his temperament looked extremely gentle. Along with its arrival, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, and the small grains of sand on the ground were even covered in a translucent layer of ice.
There were also about 50 black-clothed figures following behind him.
Rose saw the person's appearance clearly, and she said with a nod, “Crimsonfox, you have arrived. ”
To his surprise, this person was a Golden Core Realm commander level assassin from the Blacksun Pavilion who was ranked 68th in the Golden Core Rankings, Crimsonfox. His gaze swept past Rose and everyone behind him before he said in surprise, "You guys won't really meet with an accident, will you?"
Rose nodded and said, “You were right. No matter if it was the assassination operation in Firecrow Town, the tavern owner's plan of using a fake map to lure him in, or Qi Yin pulling him out, all ended in failure, and I even lost three subordinates. ”
"Very tough?" Crimsonfox's eyes narrowed, and coupled with his extremely sharp chin, he looked like a cunning fox.
Rose spoke in a dull matter, but she naturally understood his seriousness. Moreover, he understood Rose's strength very well, and being able to safely escape from her hands undoubtedly proved that the boy's strength was clearly greater than expected.
“The higher-ups underestimated his strength, especially the control over the situation that had reached a level that ordinary people could not reach. Coupled with the acute perception of danger, and his resolute and resolute movements, even I was powerless to save the situation.. ”Rose analyzed word for word. His tone was stable, neither fast nor slow, and it seemed to be very calm as he described everything he saw in detail.
Crimsonfox's face gradually became solemn, and a bright light flickered as his eyes flickered, and he immediately made up his mind. “For the sake of operation this time, the superiors have been preparing for a very long time, so they only let success and not failure. ”
As he spoke to here, he raised his eyes to look at Rose and asked. "Are you gathering his aura?"
Rose reached out her white hand and flicked the thing that was like a drop of water and said, "His True Essence Fluctuation was very small when he killed three of my subordinates. I can only collect a little. ”
Crimsonfox measured it for a moment and said, "That's enough. We can activate the Precious Shadowtrack Amulet with this. ”
As he spoke, Crimsonfox took out a light blue jade talisman, then he refined it slightly by fusing this thing that was like a drop of water into a talisman, then he refined it slightly by fusing this thing that was like a drop of water into a talisman, and then a bright light flashed before recovering back to normal.
“Alright, its rough location can already be determined. Target hasn't left the Forest of gloom, start the operation! ”Crimsonfox closed his eyes and pondered deeply for a moment before he suddenly opened his eyes, and then he looked towards a great distance.
Swooshes! Swooshes! Swooshes!
Under the lead of the two commanders, Rose and Crimsonfox, everyone quickly disappeared within Evilstone.
————
The forest is dark, on the side of a big tree.
But under the cultivation of formidable body refinement, his injuries healed very quickly, and his strength was quickly recovered at this moment. It would not be long before he once again recovered to his optimal condition.
There was a bow placed in front of him.
During these past few days, he had the intention to temper his strength in body refinement and put aside his qi refinement cultivation, and he fought at full strength with Shaman Energy. Not only had he cultivated the Heavenly Transformation and Transformation God Ability, he had even tried to start researching and learning archery, and he had obtained considerable results.
With Chen Xi's cultivation, after he performed the Heavenly Transformation, his body was able to reach a height of 48m, and his own strength would increase explosively by around 30%. If it was combined with the God Transforming, then even though his strength would not increase, but the strength he was able to provide in the battle was raised by many.
If it was purely in terms of his body refinement cultivation, after he had gained the support of these two heavenly Abilities, the combat power he possessed was even slightly higher than his qi refinement cultivation!
Moreover, under the support of Heavenly Transformation and God Transformation, no matter if it was Starsky Wings or the Grand Astral Palm, the strength of the two displayed had increased by almost 30%.
Although it was only a 30% increase, it was truly an incredible change when used in combat. For example, he killed a terrifying beast a few days ago, the Speted Stripetiger. If he fought normally, he was no match for it at all, yet if he were to execute Heavenly Transformation and God Transformation, he could crush the Spiked Stripetiger into a pile of porridge in just three steps.
As for his cultivation in archery, he obtained small achievements in it as well.
Drawing a bow and firing an arrow emphasizes on having sharp eyes, agile hands, and the ability to move one's body as soon as the intention appears. Not only does it require sufficient strength, speed and precision are also very important. Especially precision, as it was the most basic requirement when testing archers.
Shooting a leaf 100 steps away and shooting the heart 100 more steps, both are requirements for ordinary people in the world. For cultivators and body refiners, if they wanted to uncover great power in archery, then the requirements towards their strength, speed, and accuracy were even harsher.
Because all cultivators had the ability to fly into the air and escape to the ground while in battle, and their lightning-like fast movement technique is even more agile than the most nimble of kites, faster than the most adept hawks at flying. If one wanted to precisely hit them, then the difficulty was obviously enormous.
But the current Chen Xi had no lack of strength and speed, and what he had to train was how to lock onto his targets and hit them.
Archery cultivation was completely different from cultivating other skills, and his need for one's heavenly Sense was even higher than his requirement for one's strength.
Only a formidable Divine Sense was able to lock in the enemy's movements and capture the slightest chance of annihilating the enemy in a split second. Then, it would cling tightly to this opportunity and launch a ferocious attack, and a small surveillance in any aspect could cause the attack to miss.
Overall, the most basic cultivation in archery is to let the hand aim at the target as soon as the eye sees it, and for the body and mind to become one. Just then someone decided to shoot an arrow, the motion of drawing a bow, aiming an arrow, aiming, and shooting had to be completed at the same time. Only in this way could one exert actual archery power.
Of course, these are just the basics.
Supposedly, there was a great expert in ancient times who was skilled in archery. He was even able to pierce through space, destroy the stars, and destroy a hundred mountains with a single shot, and he was even able to kill enemies as far as 5,000 km by the time his mind appeared.
Chen Xi was only able to shoot arrows skillfully now, and he had gained some superficial knowledge about archery. This was all thanks to Qi Yin, because in the storage of the Magic Treasure left behind by Qi Yin at the time of his death was a jade slip that recorded the God Ability archery called the Staruin Shattermoon Arrow.
This heavenly ability records the knowledge associated with archery in detail, such as how to make the power of the shot stronger when drawing the bow, the way the arrow nock to reach the fastest speed, and so on and so forth.
Of course, this heavenly Archery ability had to be executed with the Treasure Shaman's bow and arrow. Currently, Chen Xi only had a Staruin Bow, yet it did not have an arrow, and he could only use his Shaman Energy to shoot out formless arrows. Although its power was strong, it could not compare to a real arrow.
Something worth mentioning is that this arrow should also be a Shaman Treasure. Because an ordinary arrow would be completely unable to withstand the power contained within it when the arrow was fired, and only the Shaman Treasure arrow was capable of exerting the entire force of a shot.
But even then, relying on Chen Xi's current strength in archery, it was enough for him to annihilate any ordinary Golden Core Realm cultivators within a distance of 50 km. As for cultivators who were slightly more formidable, it would depend on the situation.
Chen Xi opened her eyes when she woke up from her meditation, and she was filled with energy and vitality when her entire body had recovered to an optimal state. Then, he grabbed the Staruin Bow on the ground and just moved forward.
Right at this moment, a small energy fluctuation swiftly swept through his body, and it was like a ripple that swiftly surged out before disappearing without a trace.
Shadowtrack Treasured Amulet.
As a Talisman Formation Master capable of making a perfect high-level Precious Talisman, Chen Xi practically instantly recognized what had emitted traces of these energy fluctuations.
As the name suggests, the Shadowtrack Treasured Talisman was a high-grade Treasury Talisman used to track. It only needed a thread of enemy aura before it could find the location of the enemy, and it would follow the enemy like a shadow.
If one wanted to escape this type of detection, it was only possible if one's strength had reached the Nether Transformation Realm, otherwise, even a Rebirth Realm cultivator would not be able to avoid it.
Did they finally come? When he saw this trace of fluctuation, not only did Chen Xi not feel nervous in the slightest, he instead looked a little impatient as if he had waited for a long time. He carried the Staruin Bow on his back, yet no more advanced, and he turned to head towards the Gloom Forest.
