Chapter 260: Secret
Dressed in black and black pants, dressed in a strong suit, even his face was covered with a black scarf, and only two eyes were exposed. The www.biquge.info of the Pen, Fun, and Pavilion are dressed like this, exactly the same as the Demon Sect killer who attacked Lu Chen's White Lotus not long ago, and its origin is unknown.
Bai Lian gasped, took a step back, and said in a low voice at the same time: "I said, what kind of grudge do you have against the Demon Sect, could it be that you killed their parents, fathers, and relatives? ”
Lu Chen's face was indifferent, and he didn't seem to react to this question, just looked at those black-clothed people coldly.
Different from the black-clothed people who rushed out to sneak attack before, most of the black-clothed people in this group were very quiet, and there was no insult, but the murderous aura that permeated around them was far better than before, and looking at the distance and location distribution between those people, echoing each other, they were staggered, and they actually blocked all the paths that could be rushed out, and sealed Lu Chen and the others here.
The rustling sound, the footsteps from time to time, and the sense of oppression exuded by those black-clothed people actually had an overwhelming momentum, which was pressed over little by little.
The corners of Lu Chen's eyes twitched slightly, and he suddenly gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Go back." ”
Bai Lian glanced at him and didn't say anything, so the two of them slowly retreated back into the snake vine forest again.
Ah Tu also followed them back, but seemed to be a little more irritable and restless, and looked back from time to time, grinning with a fierce face.
Returning to the oppressive and gloomy forest, Lu Chen and Bai Lian's faces were ugly, and Bai Lian looked at the road with some concern, if those black-clothed people who looked obviously powerful rushed in in one go, they and Lu Chen, plus Ah Tu, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist no matter what.
But to her surprise, those men in black actually stopped outside the snake vine forest like that, and did not continue to rush in to chase and kill.
Bai Lian was surprised in her heart, and was about to speak to Lu Chen, but was pulled by Lu Chen all the way back to the silver mother tree, and at the same time, heard Lu Chen say: "It's safer here, it's easy to talk, those sap will be scattered when you see the wind, and after a while, your breath will be weak, and then the surrounding snake vines may attack us." ”
"I see. Bai Lian nodded, but soon she frowned, but with a hint of strange eyes, she began to look at Lu Chen.
Lu Chen noticed her movements and said, "What's wrong?"
Bai Lian thought for a moment and said, "I think you seem to be a little weird. ”
Lu Chen said: "What do you mean?"
Bai Lian stared at him and said, "You are in this snake forest, are there any secrets you haven't told me?"
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, there's nothing." ”
Bai Lian's eyes were still bright, staring at Lu Chen and said, "No, I think there is indeed something wrong with you." According to what you said before, this snake vine forest is extremely dangerous, but it doesn't make sense that you are the only one in the world who knows the secrets of this forest, right?"
Lu Chen said: "That's naturally not. Although the snake vine forest is rare, as long as you walk in the land of confusion often, most people still know about it. ”
Bai Lian said: "In that case, why can we walk freely in this snake vine forest, but those people outside, including my second senior brother who was strong in Taoism before, are so jealous of this forest?"
As he spoke, without waiting for Lu Chen to speak, Bai Lian continued directly and said, "Also, among the many people who are chasing you and me, there are obviously monks with advanced Taoism, why can we drive straight into the snake vine mother tree so easily, but the others can't? Could it be that this snake vine mother tree looks at the two of us differently and thinks that we are good people?"
Lu Chen originally seemed to want to speak, but after hearing Bai Lian say this, he suddenly closed his mouth again, and looked at this unusually beautiful girl silently, with a cold light in his eyes.
"I hadn't noticed these things before, but now that I think about it, I feel that nothing is right. Bai Lian looked at Lu Chen, and said with a blazing gaze, "I think you probably have some secret, a ...... The secret that can make these fierce and powerful snakes look at us differently, what is that?"
Lu Chen was silent for a long time, then suddenly sighed and said, "You are so smart and clever, do your parents know?"
※※※
"They died a long time ago, and they don't know anything!" Bai Lian had no respect for her parents as always, her eyes just stared at Lu Chen, and said, "Admit it, right? What kind of means can actually affect this snake forest, tell me quickly." ”
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Will you tell me why you learned those fierce methods and the secret method of blood food before you went to Kunlun Mountain?"
Bai Lian's face remained unchanged, and she said calmly: "I had an adventure when I was a child, and I had to meet strangers to teach me the mantle, so I just learned some skills. ”
Lu Chen looked at her and laughed, and said, "What a coincidence, I met a master when I was a teenager, and I passed on all kinds of murder and arson skills, so I have today." After finishing speaking, he even added a sentence and said with a smile: "That master is still a big fat man, and his fat body is the same as a pig." ”
Bai Lian snorted coldly, looking at Lu Chen's eyes a little unkind, obviously not believing even half a word of what Lu Chen said, and sneered: "According to what you say, where is your heart of respecting the teacher, you still dare to scold your master for being a pig, and you are alone in the whole world!"
Lu Chen laughed, but after thinking about it immediately, he actually nodded and said to Bai Lian: "What you said is right, I am probably the only one who dares to scold him for being a pig in the whole world." ”
"Phew!"
Bai Lian took a sip and said hatefully: "If you don't say it, you won't say it, who is still rare." ”

"What should we do now?" Bai Lian asked Lu Chen.
Lu Chen was silent, many thoughts turned in his heart, and he was thinking carefully.
In the previous situation in this snake forest, in fact, what Bai Lian said is true, this little girl is really a little demonic, not only is her talent amazing at a young age, but even this intelligence and sensitivity are difficult for ordinary people to reach.
There is indeed a secret in Lu Chen's body that can affect the surrounding trees, so that this originally ferocious and terrifying snake vine is often a beat slower when it attacks, which allows him and Bai Lian to run to the mother tree smoothly. But of course, this method was not taught to him by Tianlan Zhenjun in the past, nor was it the supernatural power he learned in the Demon Sect, but the seed.
The mysterious seed embedded in his body originated from the legendary sacred tree that stood up to the heavens and the earth, and in the legends of the Demon Sect since ancient times, this sacred tree is the ancestor of all trees in heaven and earth, and is the only bridge connecting the Three Realms.
It's just that in the more than ten years that Lu Chen has obtained this seed, he has never felt any similar power on this seed, and the greatest function of the Divine Tree Seed for him is to suppress the Black Fire Curse, thus allowing him to continue his life until today.
But the strange thing happened on the night of the full moon last month, when the earth-shattering pillar of light penetrated the heavens and the earth, Lu Chen faintly felt that the seeds in his body seemed to have changed slightly, and the ability to slightly affect and manipulate some flowers and plants in the world was what Lu Chen gradually discovered on the way to escape after that.
Of course, this is a big secret, and Lu Chen has no intention of telling Bai Lian, in short, the two of them are unwilling to tell their secrets, so they just passed with a haha. But the predicament in front of him was still in front of him, and Lu Chen also felt a little tricky.
The Divine Tree Seed's ability is only a slight awakening, and at most it can only slightly slow down the attack speed of the surrounding snakes, but when it comes to controlling this snake forest, it is too far away.
But if you stay trapped here, it is obviously not a long-term solution, Lu Chen frowned tightly, and in the midst of a sharp turn of thoughts, Bai Lian asked again, and said, "Why don't we smear some more sap and escape from the other direction?" Anyway, this forest is so big, I don't believe they can all be sealed." ”
Lu Chen's face looked a little dignified, and after turning his head to look at the silver-white snake vine mother tree, he said, "This mother tree doesn't look very big, it should have only grown up for a short time." We can't take too much sap, otherwise we will hurt the root of the mother tree, and it will make the surrounding snakes go crazy. ”
Bai Lian was taken aback, and also looked at the snake vine mother tree, and said, "Then how many times can you get the sap?"
Lu Chen thought about it for a while, and said: "We have to apply two people at a time, plus Ah Tu's body is much bigger than ordinary people, and he needs a lot of sap, so I think I can only take the sap again at most." ”
"Ah, there's only one chance?" Bai Lian said in surprise, and a look of hesitation suddenly appeared on her face.
They could only fetch the sap one more time, in other words, they had almost one last chance left to escape from the snake vine forest.
This last time, only success is allowed not to fail, and after failure, whether they are blocked by people or this forest goes crazy, maybe they will only have a dead end.
Both of them fell silent, standing beside the snake vine mother tree and thinking silently, only Ah Tu looked a little more relaxed, walked around, and after a while, suddenly paced to the edge of the snake vine mother tree, looked up and down the beautiful silver-white mother tree, and as soon as he lifted his hind feet, he sprinkled a soak of urine on the root of the tree.
Lu Chen saw this scene, although he was anxious, he still couldn't help but be a little funny, thinking to himself, Atu, this dog is still a little different...... But just as this thought passed through his heart, he suddenly shook his body, but he thought of the word "different".
Different...... It seems a little different.
His eyes suddenly changed, becoming a little deeper, and at that moment it seemed that his mind was also affected by some thought, and even his breathing was a little heavier.
Bai Lian felt it, glanced at Lu Chen, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Lu Chen was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Those black-clothed people outside just now, you said they were Demon Sect killers?" )
