Section 877 There are pros and cons
This place was originally overgrown with weeds, and it was not so easy to imagine finding the footprints of the Wood Spirit in the redstone cave at the entrance to the Great Array.
She took a few breaths of grass, then squatted down, plucked two small daisies from the ground and said, "Here it is." The small pink and tender flowers bloomed in the palm of his dark hand at this moment. The wood spirit has only been gone for less than two hours, so the flowers here are still the most delicate.
When she approached and leaned over, she saw the flowery paving left by the wood spirit. On this flower-paved road, there are sky-blue mother-in-law, purple and melancholy purple flowers, and pure white as snow full of stars, small and small flowers are less than the size of copper coins, but they are faithful guides, leading the footprints of the wood spirit all the way to the deep forest.
"Let's go. A few people followed the flowers on the ground and followed all the way to the forest.
At this time, he realized that the wood spirit was walking aimlessly, and sometimes two steps away, but it had to make four or five turns in the same place, and it was obvious that he was having a lot of fun, and he suffered from the people who followed him. But overall, the guy headed deeper into the forest.
Changtian muttered: "Looking at it like this, the movement of the wood spirit is not very regular, which means that it has not yet opened its spiritual wisdom like Ah Li. After all, there is no emperor slurry here, and it can't accept ignition. "For a heaven and earth spiritual creature like the essence of the five elements, it is doubly difficult to obtain spiritual wisdom. Ah Li's original real body was the essence of gold, and he also stood in the mountains and forests and did not know how many times he had been baptized by Emperor Hui's slurry, and then he turned into a little girl. There is no emperor flow pulp in Yunmengze, and the essence of wood passes through the great array, and the natural path is not deepened, and there is no spiritual enlightenment.
However, this also means that it will be much easier to catch it than you think.
After walking like this for half an hour, the surrounding trees became thicker and thicker. Although it is still not time at this moment, but looking up to the sky, the sun has been blocked by the impermeable canopy, and it cannot shine on the ground at all, and the temperature in this deep forest has also dropped by eight or nine degrees, and the sun is still scorching outside, but there is fog and vapor in the forest.
The forest was so quiet that not even the birds could hear a single song, so the rustle of the people stepping on the fallen leaves was particularly harshβhalf an hour ago, it was a place of demons. Ning Xiaoxian has been with monsters all day long, although he is a mortal at this moment, he can also feel the strong demonic aura that lasts for a long time.
She was following the footprints, stood up and was about to speak, when Changtian, who was walking in the forefront, suddenly raised his hand and made a stop movement.
There's someone ahead!
They were now cowering behind a clump of wild hawthorns that were growing vigorously, and the heavy red fruits were pressing down on the branches, and they only had to bend down, and the dense branches and leaves could hold a few people tightly.
Ning Xiaoxian beckoned, and Rhubarb sneaked to her side silently, lying quietly on the ground.
After more than a dozen breaths, there was a small sound of the soles of the feet rubbing against the fallen leaves outside the hawthorn bushes. As soon as she heard it, she knew it was a human approaching: beasts don't wear shoes.
Listening to the footsteps, the comers were getting closer and closer to them, and she mentally calculated, one, two, there were only two people, and a little heavy, and it was evident that their owner was beginning to get tired. At this moment the footsteps of a man stopped outside the hawthorn bushes, and the bushes trembled. Rhubarb raised his head vigilantly, opened his mouth slightly to show his fangs, and Ning Xiaoxian stroked the fine hair on the top of its head, signaling it to be restless.
Sure enough, the people outside just picked a few hawthorns, put them in their mouths and chewed them, and then spit them out with a "puff" and said: "It's sour to death!" Although the hawthorn at this time looks red, it is a meager and sour flesh, and only a small number of animals will eat it. Rao is like this, he still beckoned his companion and said: "You can also eat a few, you can't find a water source in this ghost forest for half a day, and if you don't eat the fruit, you will die of thirst." β
The bushes shook again, and apparently his companion had also picked the fruit to eat, and then tasted the sour taste, and it took a long time before he asked, "Senior brother, is it true that there is a news of the infestation of wood spirits here?"
As soon as these words came out, Ning Xiaoxian and the others immediately paid full attention.
The senior brother said, "It should be true, don't forget that we heard the news near the headman, and at this time mortals have not yet learned to lie to the superiors." It's a hateful brute that came too quickly, otherwise if you make some preparations and come again, you can have a better grasp of that thing. β
Senior Brother Qi said: "Our goal of entering the Guyin Mountain and River Formation is not the essence of wood?"
"Stupid! It's better to have a clue from the Wood Spirit than to search for magic weapons like a headless fly here. Senior brother hates that iron does not become steel, "This thing is rare, as long as it is caught and sold for a good price, what do you want to exchange?
The two men rested for a while before slowly walking away.
It wasn't until he could no longer hear their footsteps that Tu Duan said in a deep voice, "Did you hear about these two people near the headman?" but when the barbarians were chasing them, I don't remember seeing them in the human settlement managed by Lisheji. β
"I don't remember either, maybe it's the immortal cultivators hiding in the other two human settlements?" Several people glanced at each other, and they all knew that the question was coming: why did the leaders of the other settlements also receive news from the wood spirit?
The corners of Changtian's mouth sneered: "Keep up with these two people, if there is a trap ahead, they will step on it for us first." β
In order to be able to enter this forest to explore, they used all the immortal cultivators as bait, which triggered a big war between the demon and barbarian races in advance, but everything has advantages and disadvantages, although this trick is effective, it will inevitably leave trouble, that is, there are more immortal cultivators in the northern forest at this moment than in other places. In other words, the number of people competing with Ning Xiaoxian and others for the essence of wood has also increased greatly.
They followed for a while, and found that the two people in front of them had indeed heard the head man talk about the wood spirit, because every time they walked a distance, they had to stop to check the flower arrangement traces left by the wood spirit.
Finally, after another ridge, the fog grew thicker. They kept a distance of about fifty zhang from these two people, and at this time they could hardly see the figure in front of them.
Ning Xiao was about to get closer, but Gongsun Zhan suddenly said, "Don't move! He hurried up a few steps, stared at the valley below for a moment, and then pointed ahead, "The fog barely flows, it's not a natural phenomenon. β
Changtian also glanced at it a few times, frowned, and said, "Trick to cover your eyes?"
"Not bad. Gongsun Zhan nodded, "For example, on the Southern Ganbu Continent, I have at least ten methods to make the blinding method look the same as the outside world, and only after people walk in will they find out that there is an abnormality." It's a pity that Yun Mengze is not allowed to use spiritual power, so this mist looks frozen and sluggish, without vitality, and it is also a little reckless. β
As he spoke, a gust of wind blew. Ning Xiaoxian looked at his sideburns and hair, and then looked at the fog that was condensed in front of him and was not affected in the slightest, and he also felt that there was something strange here. "It's so vicious, and it actually laid a formation on the flower path of the wood spirit. She whispered.
Xie Huanlang also said: "This is obviously using the essence of wood to lure people into the formation. Isn't it a monster cannibal?"
Ning Xiaoxian sneered: "It's not as simple as this. I bet with my dagger that the heads of all the human settlements in this scene have probably received news from the wood spirit. β
Xie Huanlang's face moved: "You mean?"
"I'm afraid it has nothing to do with the Qianqing Temple. You also said that Kachiha is an old fox, and after chasing the second act of heaven and earth, of course you will find that there are still many immortal cultivators here, and we will use the art of disguise, and it is not easy to find us out in the vast crowd. Soβ"
Ning Xiaoxian shrugged his shoulders, "Kachiha doesn't have to bother looking for us. He knows the purpose of our entry into the Great Array, so as long as the news of the Wood Spirit is effectively disseminated, we will naturally send it to the door. β
When Changtian heard this, he said lightly: "It's a pity that no matter how careful the plan is, it is difficult to ensure that nothing goes wrong." Glancing at Xie Huanlang, he said, "Tell me about this person in Kachiha." β
Xie Huanlang immediately cheered up and said: "Kachiha is the altar master of the Tulian Mountain branch of the Qianqing Temple, and he has been appreciated by the sect, so he may be mentioned as the helmsman when he goes back this time." He has always been cautious, he has brought people into Yunmengze eight times, only this time Yunmengze opened, he came in three times, he was familiar with the first two scenes of heaven and earth, and also followed the former head of the Gongsun family into the third scene of the world, and then retreated. Among all the teams that have entered Yun Mengze, his team has the lowest mortality rate, and the last time he came in, his team only lost one member. β
"Oh?" Ning Xiaoxian said with interest, "Why does his team have the fewest deaths?"
Xie Huanlang smiled bitterly: "I don't know. His subordinates often boasted that the lord of the Kachiha altar liked to plan the layout the most, and that everything would be arranged properly, and everyone only needed to carry it out. β
Changtian's eyes moved slightly: "What did he do after he came in?"
Xie Huanlang said: "It's nothing special to follow the head of the Gongsun family. This man often has a plan in his belly, and when he saw the green smoke emitted by me in the first act, he didn't come to the rescue, thinking that the situation in the second act was more favorable to him?"
Ning Xiaoxian pursed his lips, feeling that this person must belong to the rabbit, otherwise how could he frighten him with a little bit of trouble? He was so vigilant, it was no wonder that his team had lost the least number of personnel.
Xie Huanlang thought for a while, and then said: "After Yun Mengze was opened last time, I heard that he and Mr. Gongsun had different opinions. β
Ning Xiaoxian was interested and said, "What's the matter?"
"The details are unknown, but I heard that when Mr. Gongsun was figuring out the Guyin Mountains and Rivers Formation, he temporarily wanted to find another way, but Kachiha disagreed, insisting on acting according to the original plan, and the two almost broke up unhappily. β
Changtian pondered for a while, stretched out his hand to stroke Ning Xiaoxian's hair, and said to Gongsun Zhan: "Although you can see the trap in front of you, the footprints of the wood spirit are still in the formation, and you still need to go in and find it." Can you solve this problem?" R1152
