Chapter 259: Between Life and Death (Thanks to xihas, FY Infinity, Brother Hei, Third Update!)
Of course, this kind of nothingness is also different from object to object, for example, as soon as the wind beaver beast encountered this kind of thing, it immediately turned into nothingness, and the same is true of those vigorous vegetation, only those lifeless rocks or the kind of bare-looking red wood trees, which seem to be seriously damaged, but the outer layer has turned into a blue-gray layer of destruction!
It seems that this light of destruction is particularly fond of things that have vitality, but Zhou De and the others did not immediately suffer from the attack of this light of destruction, because they don't know from what point those lights of destruction actually formed a vacuum around Zhou De and the three of them.
"Hey, what's going on?" Tomoku quickly realized this strange phenomenon.
"Master Zhikong, it's the effect of the remnant diagram above your head!" Zhou De immediately discovered the crux of the problem after some observation, the remnant diagram that was originally not very conspicuous was sent by Zhikong with true qi to guide the way above his head, at this time, it actually emitted a trace of golden points of light, these golden points of light were extremely faint, if it weren't for the fact that most of the winds in this wind valley were dissolved by the power of the light of destruction, they wouldn't have felt it at all!
"Amitabha! Buddha blessed! I didn't expect this thing to be so miraculous!" Zhikong's heart that was hanging because of the appearance of the light of destruction calmed down a little, but the next moment, his expression changed, because suddenly he found that his true qi and divine consciousness were rapidly disappearing!
"It's not good Master Zhou, Lao Gu's true qi and divine sense are quickly being swallowed up and disappearing by this remnant image, we must get out of here quickly!" Zhikong's face was a little embarrassed at this moment.
"How long can the master hold on?" Zhou De looked carefully and found that the aura of Zhikong at this time began to decline.
"Judging from the current situation, it is estimated that we will be able to hold on for a while, and then if we still can't escape this light of destruction, Lao Wei may go to see the Buddha!" Zhikong said a little depressed.
"An hour may be enough! Let's go up this mountain wall! Maybe there will be some cave above it that we can dodge!" Zhou De glanced at the towering stone wall.
The reason why Zhou De wanted to go up along the mountain wall instead of continuing along the valley was because he found that the wind beaver beasts that escaped before had fled towards the top of the mountain! This is the chassis of the wind beaver beasts, Zhou De doesn't think that these destruction lights can destroy them, if this is the case, then there can't be so many wind beaver beasts here!
"Brother, are you sure we have to climb the rock?" Wang Jinfeng was a little puzzled by Zhou De's words, because in her opinion, it was obviously safer to walk along the valley towards the front at this moment, and it didn't seem to be a good choice to climb the rock under the shroud of the light of destruction.
"Feng'er, it seems to be more dangerous for us to climb the rock, but I feel safer! On the contrary, if we keep walking along the valley ahead of the valley, there may be great danger!" Zhou De said.
Zhou De had an intuition that if they were to go ahead of the valley at this time, they would inevitably encounter some unexpected dangers! This was their intuition! Moreover, the intuition of a monk like Zhou De was even more subtle and subtle, in fact, just like we do things, some things that are easy to do at the beginning often do not have much gain! And some things that are difficult at the beginning but once they can persist in the past, they will definitely be able to have great gains!
"Amitabha, Miss Wang, Lao Wei also agrees with Master Zhou's suggestion, it may be safer above!" "Zhikong is the abbot of Jinguang Temple after all, although his cultivation is not as good as Zhou De, but he is obviously not comparable to Wang Jinfeng in terms of judgment and induction of some things.
"Since you all agree, I naturally don't have any problems!" Wang Jinfeng didn't actually want to express and insist on her suggestion before, she just had some doubts and wanted to understand!
"Without further ado, let's hurry up! The master is going to trouble you to urge this remnant picture in front! Feng'er, you are in the middle, and I will break the back!" Zhou De knew that it was not the time for his mother-in-law and mother-in-law, so he immediately arranged it.
Because the remnant is Zhikong's, it must be urged by Zhikong in front to block the gray points of destruction around him.
"Haole, you come with me!" Monk Zhikong said and immediately carried the Zen staff behind his back, and at the same time took out a short sword from his waist, only to see him come to the stone wall, holding the short sword in one hand, and grasping the gap in the rock with the other, and at the same time separating his divine sense and true qi to control the faint light curtain released by the remnant image to cover the three of them.
"Oh~噌~" Don't really say it, don't look at the fat body of the monk Zhikong, but when he climbs the rock, he is very flexible, and sometimes wields a short sword to leave a dent on the hard rock while slowly climbing towards it.
Zhou De and Wang Jinfeng naturally followed behind Zhikong and climbed towards it cautiously, but when they had just climbed a height of dozens of meters, Zhou De found that Zhikong's body in front of them began to slow down.
Although Zhikong is the strength of the middle stage of the Xuanshi, now he not only has to control the protection formed by the residual image, but also has to dig a rock pit on the rock wall with his hands and feet while wielding a short sword to inject true qi, and he has to climb with his qi up, which is really a big burden.
"Master, let's change positions, you go down first to recover, I'll open the way in front!" Feeling the abnormality of Dao Zhikong, Zhou De immediately mentioned the Yin and Yang True Qi 'Oo' a few times and rushed to the position side by side with Zhikong, and the five fingers were like steel structures, deep into the rock and firmly grasped on the hard rock.
"Amitabha, Lao Ne's cultivation is not good, so the master laughs!" At this time, Zhikong actually felt that his old face was hot.
"Master, you don't have to be like this, you still have to separate your true qi and divine consciousness to support us, and the cost is too great! I'll replace you first, and when I'm not good for a while, you can replace me, master!" Zhou De controlled his body and continued to push upwards as he spoke.
With Zhou De's opening, Zhikong immediately felt a lot more relaxed, and he and Wang Jinfeng followed Zhou De and quickly climbed towards the top of the mountain.
Obviously, after Zhou De's opening, their speed increased a lot, but Zhou De did not let Zhikong replace him, on the contrary, Zhikong's replacement request was also rejected by Zhou De, so the three of them finally climbed to the top of the mountain in half an hour under the leadership of Zhou De and under the protection of Zhikong's control of the remnant map.
"Oh my God!" As soon as he reached the top of the mountain, Wang Jinfeng was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him, because of the existence of strong winds in the valley, and the relatively small valley, they couldn't really feel the power of this light of destruction, but from the top of the mountain, all of them were gray points of light, as if this piece of heaven and earth was suddenly shrouded in a dense layer of rain.
In the whole rain curtain, it was full of silence, as if at this moment, everything in heaven and earth had turned into a dead silence, and even those red wood trees were also eroded by the light of destruction of this scale, and began to show large traces of corrosion, some trees were mottled with gray spots all over, and some were even corroded into dead trees that were burned by ash at a moment, as if they were burned by the fire of the sky.
Even the crimson rocks beneath their feet rose in patches of gray-red mist, a special imagination of the rocks being invaded by the light of destruction, and the entire mountaintop was full of potholes and mottled apocalyptic scenes.
"Oh no, the light of destruction here is too powerful, I feel like I can only hold on for a few minutes before I'm done!" Compared to Wang Jinfeng's curiosity and panic, Zhikong was even more frightened at the moment, because as soon as he reached the top of the mountain, he immediately felt the power of the remnant image above his head to devour his true qi and divine consciousness increase suddenly.
"Master, don't panic, you let go of your defense, I'll input true qi for you!" Seeing Zhikong's reaction, Zhou De immediately put his hand against Zhikong's back heart and urged a stream of true qi to enter Zhikong's body.
"Thank you Master Zhou, I feel better now, but I can only hold on for more than ten minutes at most, because my divine sense can't keep up with the loss!" At this time, Zhikong felt very helpless, his true qi was blessed by Zhou De, but his divine sense had no way to bless him, even Zhou De now has no way to inject his divine consciousness into Dao Zhikong's sea of consciousness.
"Master Zhou, this remnant of my picture needs divine consciousness and true qi for sacrificial refining can be controlled a little, please Master Zhou and Miss Wang, you quickly release your true qi and divine consciousness for sacrificial training, and we will jointly control this thing to be able to win a glimmer of life here!" Zhikong finally gave up the idea of wanting to control this remnant diagram alone after some consideration.
In fact, for Zhikong, this remnant is a treasure that has been inherited by their Jinguang Temple for hundreds of years, and naturally it doesn't look like it has been manipulated by others! But after this short period of life and death test, Zhikong was finally deeply impressed by Zhou De's character and strength! What's more, in the current environment, they must let go of all the mustard and gather everyone's strength, so that they may be able to win that glimmer of life.
"Master, this thing is something inherited by your Buddhism, it seems a little inappropriate for us to control it together!" Zhou De hesitated. To be honest, the great monk was able to say this kind of thing at this time, which made Zhou De a little admired, but Zhou De didn't want to take advantage of the danger.
"Amitabha, master, what time is it, you still have other concerns, if you don't control this thing with me, let's not talk about exploring and hunting for treasures, I'm afraid we will bury bones here today! Although this thing has been handed down from our Buddhism, it also requires our lives!" Zhikong immediately spoke.
"Okay, since that's the case, let's fight this crisis together!Feng'er, let's go together!" After Zhou De finished speaking, he immediately controlled his true qi and divine consciousness and began to slowly inject into the remnant diagram.
