Chapter 67: The Fearsome Great Summoning Technique
It's been a month since we got the dancing grass, and during this time, I've rested ten times because I was really tired. On average, I rest once every three days. When resting, I would find a cave or climb up a big tree to sleep, of course with someone keeping watch in turns. Surprisingly, there were no major dangers encountered, not even any other human shadows seen.
It's been a month, and everyone has gained a lot. Each person's storage space is almost full, including my constantly expanding mental space. Specifically, what we got is not detailed here, but in short, it's some of the best things: ginseng from the Spirit of Ten Thousand Demons, Cordyceps sinensis, Sanqi and other medicinal materials, as well as bitter melon that clears the mind and eyes, dispels evil and relieves fatigue, and benefits Qi and Yang. There is also cilantro that aids digestion, dandelion that strengthens the body, and mustard greens that clear ears and eyes and remove stagnant blood.
That day, we arrived at a lake. The water was crystal clear and bottomless, of course getting deeper towards the center; this lake is so vast that you can't see the other shore, if not for the distant mountains vaguely visible in the distance, we might have mistaken it for the sea. A gentle breeze blew, waves crashed against the rocks on the shore, splashing up flowers of foam. Several girls had already excitedly run to the lake and started soaking their feet.
This scene inspired the two brothers to a frenzy of poetic inspiration; they exchanged a smile and instantly collaborated on a poem:
Treasures Found with Feeling
The mainland wind rises and clouds surge, the proud son of heaven is passed down through the ages.
Tianjiao College is public, treasure land gift.
Elite nearly hundred bees swarm, but is divided into groups action.
Why should people's hearts be unjustly blamed? This scenery cannot be wasted!
My brother came up with a title, then started it off, and I continued the next sentence; just like that, a poem full of ideas was born. The four girls soaking their feet also heard it, looking thoughtful.
"Unexpectedly, there is still someone who can analyze the mainland form and this matter so thoroughly, and only used a few short sentences of poetry, really unexpected?"
"Perhaps our family's tyrant has a good eye for things, and it's us who are too stubborn."
"Let's take a look, maybe in our lifetime we can really witness miracles."
These three voices were not unfamiliar to the brothers, and they were indeed the three white-haired old men. In front of us, space twisted and distorted, and the three white-haired old men appeared before our eyes, looking benevolent and kind-hearted at this moment.
The two brothers reckoned that they had been paying attention to the situation in this space all along, and felt uneasy in their hearts. Who would like it if someone was always paying attention to their every move? Not to mention that the two brothers had many secrets. Fortunately, the worry was unnecessary, as the three old men did not mention those secrets at all, and they really didn't discover any more secrets. At this moment, the appearance of the middle-aged man was not just to praise them, but only heard him say:
"Your group is the last to arrive at the lake, where treasures will soon appear on the small islands in the center of the lake. Other groups have already begun preparing to cross the lake and head to the islands; you should hurry up and prepare too. Once you reach the islands, an inevitable battle will ensue, and whether or not you can obtain the treasure depends on your strength."
"Great-grandfather, what treasure? Has anyone passed by?" The fourth girl had already arrived, Tian Mei asked.
The old man in the middle smiled and said, "Perhaps the treasures on the island are the most precious things you can get this time. Don't underestimate Du Hu, someone has already been injured and taken back."
After finishing speaking, the three people disappeared. The six people looked at each other in dismay, it seemed that there was a monster in the lake, otherwise how could someone be injured and taken away while crossing the lake?
"Can you two find a way to cross the lake?" Tian Chenchen asked, looking at his brother and me, while the other three girls had the same expression. My brother and I were already used to it, as over the past month, whenever we encountered problems that required decision-making, the four girls would always listen to our opinions.
With a wry smile, he shook his head and said, "Let's all think about it for a moment. We can't quite grasp the situation yet, so let's first take a look at what kind of danger is in the lake before making any decisions."
"Good." The four girls were also quick-witted and understood at once.
So the six of them began to probe around the lake, with the two brothers changing their spiritual sense from width to length and extending it towards the center of the lake. Unfortunately, the distance was still not enough, even if their spiritual sense became as thin as a thread, they could only sense things a thousand meters away. The probing by the four girls wasn't bad either, but the distance was still not enough. They were using the method of throwing stones into the water to see if anything would be provoked, but it was just short of the distance. The lake water was like a wise and experienced person who had been through many things, calmly enduring the fierce pounding by the girls without making any movement, which made them so angry that they stomped their feet.
The two brothers' eyes lit up, and they exchanged a glance, getting an idea. Isn't it just that the distance is not enough? If you control a flying bird to fly over the lake surface, occasionally flapping its wings on the water's surface, what would happen? Originally, if Xiao Tian was there or wasn't afraid of exposing his strength, he wouldn't have gone through so much trouble and could have simply flown over with his sword.
Unfortunately, nothing is left now, and another trick has to be used - the Great Summoning Technique. This is a subtle technique passed down by the Continental Spirit of the Day, Moon, Star, and Fire Continent. The brothers have never been lazy, and it's just right to use it now. Although the summoning technique is rare, it's easy to explain.
Then, the two brothers made a consistent move and punched out countless handprints, revealing two blurry space-time doors, one large and one small. Faintly visible inside were swirling yin energy and what seemed to be the sound of wailing ghosts coming from both doors. As soon as the two doors appeared, they frantically absorbed the surrounding yuanqi, causing the surrounding spiritual energy to become unstable. A fierce gale howled, and a hundred-meter-high wave surged up on the lake surface. Rocks and soil flew everywhere around the brothers, with trees uprooted and houses toppled within a hundred-mile radius.
No one expected the commotion to be so great, and the noise from this side spread far and wide, only to be discovered by Rose Four Girls and three white-haired old men. The two brothers were secretly shocked, not expecting the Great Summoning Technique to be so terrifying, indeed worthy of being passed down by the Spirit of the Continent. At the same time, their hearts were full of worry, as the Space-Time Gate had just sucked away half of their vital energy; looking towards the Four Girls' side, they were being protected by the three white-haired old men, who were now shouting in surprise, especially Tian Jiaomei and Liu Zhenzhen, whose eyes were filled with worry.
Seeing the four women safe and sound, I can finally put my mind at ease. At this moment, it's too late to stop now, I don't dare to slack off. My divine sense is transmitted to the Time-Space Gate, conveying our desired target: Flying Beast. Meanwhile, I'm frantically crushing and absorbing the energy from the beast crystals and coins (energy-rich stones, currently only red stone, orange stone, and yellow stone are available). Most of these coins were obtained from selling the demon corpses last time, it seems they will be depleted this time. Although it's a bit heart-wrenching, compared to safety, it's not worth mentioning.
Fortunately, the time didn't last very long. At the same time as the space gate condensed into shape, a fourth-level flying bird and a third-level flying bird's soul flew out. As soon as they appeared, they flew intimately to the brothers' side, seemingly waiting for orders.
The summoning was successful, and the two brothers were almost exhausted. If they hadn't had some reserves, or if their internal energy wasn't abundant and of high quality, they might not have been able to complete the summoning, and would have even harmed their own foundation. Hurriedly closing the space-time gate, they found that although the space-time gate couldn't be seen anymore, it seemed to still exist in some way, and as long as the two brothers had a thought, they could summon them again. It seems that from now on, it won't be so strenuous, truly amazing.
The two brothers sat on the ground with their buttocks, looking at each other and bursting into loud laughter. At this moment, the two brothers were already disheveled and tattered, no different from the street urchins.
"Hey, those two little rascals, do they think they're so capable now? They've become like this and still dare to laugh, without knowing someone is worried about them." It was the voice of Tian Mei Hua. Seeing that the summoning was successful, several girls left their protection and ran towards the brothers, but saw some scenes instead.
The two brothers saw the girls walking away from us with their backs to us, their fragrant shoulders trembling as if they wanted to laugh, but also a bit shy. It's not strange, looking down, it's really embarrassing: just now I only saw that the upper half of the clothes were broken, and I didn't care too much, but now seeing the lower half of the pants is even more unbearable, let's not mention it. The old face turned red, and they disappeared into the murky lake water like the wind, where was there still a tired look? The four girls couldn't help but giggle, completely losing their elegant image.
About half an hour later, the two brothers strolled back along the lake shore, having changed their clothes. Except for the pale complexion left by overexertion, where was the disheveled appearance of just now?
Everyone looked at the two flying creatures beside my brother and me. Due to their lack of physical bodies, their strength was greatly discounted, barely stronger than a low-level demon beast. My brother's one belonged to the eagle family, extremely divine, and its combat power must be even stronger; mine belonged to the crane family, very beautiful, but its strength is hard to say.
The four women didn't even have time to worry about a few sentences, when the old man in the middle spoke up first. He said seriously: "Your summoning technique is quite unusual, although it's powerful, but it's difficult to control. I suggest you try not to use it when you're not familiar with it and your strength isn't enough, otherwise it's easy to cause unnecessary losses."
"Ah, elder's wise words, junior will remember them in heart." The brothers' attitude was sincere, but they knew that it wouldn't be this difficult later on. Moreover, they had a premonition that the subtlety of the Grand Summoning Technique went far beyond what they saw today.
"Good, very good! I'm more and more satisfied with you all, and my expectations are growing. Here, take these few bottles of Hui Yuan Dan to recover." The old man in the middle was extremely pleased, and with a casual toss, four bottles of Hui Yuan Dan appeared before the brothers. Then the three old men vanished. The four girls were overjoyed, especially Xiao Mei and Zhen Zhen Jie, as if the old man's praise was directed at them personally, or even more delightful than that.
The two brothers didn't expect that after this incident, they would actually gain the recognition of these old men. It seems that being low-key isn't always good! After taking the Huiyuan Dan, they swallowed one pill and started meditating to recover. Unexpectedly, the medicinal effect was quite strong - just one pill and the two brothers recovered to their peak state, and they felt that there was still some remaining medicinal power, which was temporarily sealed in their dantian.
About twenty minutes later, the two brothers stood up vigorously, which surprised the four women. They knew that Huayuan Dan was ten times more potent than Huiling Dan, but they didn't expect them to digest it so quickly, and Fang's heart felt a strange movement.
"Is it okay?" Zhenzhen Jie asked hesitantly.
"Alright, let's get going."
"How did you get past? Did you guys find a way?"
"Fly over."
"How to fly?"
"Of course not fly by myself, take theirs."
"Oh, so this is what you guys came up with!"
……
Xiaomei and I sat on Hehun, while Gege, Liu Zhenzhen and Tian Chenchen sat on Yinghun, flying towards the center of the lake.
