Chapter 21: Holding Back

A team of more than 20 people formed a long snake-like formation through the dense forest.

It's an endless jungle of endless, eerie and twisted trees, and strange winds blow through them, sending out a terrifying scream like a ghostly cry.

On the dark and gloomy forest ground, the zigzag strange grass is as sharp as a knife, more than a person high, and a clump of clumps, densely forming a vast and boundless sea of grass.

The jagged bushes were covered with barbed black spikes, and the corpses of unknown beasts hung from them. The corpses were shriveled and withered, and their entrails and flesh were gone, and they were supposed to have been sucked dry by these plants and died.

Huge black and white mosquitoes, as huge as human heads, swarmed in and out of the sea of grass. Red-headed and green-bodied bloodthirsty flies, buzzing and circling in the air, looking for hapless prey.

Qin Hao and Guo Xiaolu were far behind the group, carrying heavy packages on their backs, trudging through the sea of grass and shrubs full of rotting mud.

Guo Xiaolu walked out of breath, and kept muttering: "This is a dream, this is a dream, oops, my stomach is so hungry." ”

Qin Hao took the wooden stick that had been folded out of nowhere, carefully probed the ground where he was about to go, and took Guo Xiaolu to cautiously avoid the poisonous swamps that devoured living beings.

Fu Zhice turned back from the front of the group, and with a curved sword in his hand, he swept all the strange grass and thorn trees that stood in his way to the ground.

Finding the two of them, Fu Zhice urged: "Haozi, Xiao Lu, Senior Sister Qu said that she would camp under a tree in front, and she asked the two of you to hurry up and follow." ”

Guo Xiaolu was already tired and hungry until now, he cried with a sad face, and gestured: "Strategy, it's not that I don't want to go fast, this place is really scary." If you look at these trees, they grow taller than the mountains, and I can't see how tall they are when I fold my neck. The mosquitoes here are also scary, they are as big as puppies, and they are coming to suck my blood, and if it weren't for this ice mask, I am afraid that they would have sucked me dry. ”

Qin Hao also stopped and took a breath, this secret realm was really dangerous. If it weren't for the sect's preparations, he and Guo Xiaolu would have struggled in the forest. These crenellated weeds alone on the forest floor were enough to cut them into pulp.

Now the two of them have Jin Yue Dan around their necks, King Kong Dan on their belts, fast walking charms tied to their legs, and a layer of ice protection ring wrapped around their bodies, so that they can walk here without danger in this dangerous dense forest.

Qingyuntang's speed talisman is extraordinary, and when worn on the body, it can make people walk quickly. At the critical moment, reciting the spell can also allow the user to obtain a short glide of incense time, and the ability to leap continuously, but this latter ability can only be used three times, and the spell will be invalid if it exceeds three times.

Qin Hao and Guo Xiaolu had no spiritual power, although the speed talisman was magical, but after walking for a long time, their physical strength could not keep up, and the role of the speed talisman could not be played, so that they were far behind.

Fu Zhice saw that the two of them were indeed very tired, so he unloaded the packages on the two of them and said, "I'll carry it for you first, and you hold on for a while, and the front is not far away." ”

Fu Zhice carried the burden on his back and led the way briskly, while Qin Hao and Guo Xiaolu supported each other, followed behind, and rushed to the campsite.

Qu Mingfei was dressed in white and stood on the branches of a big tree, fluttering like a Lingbo fairy. A golden wheel of heavenly fire, swallowing flames and the bright aura of the sun, slowly flew around her body like a string moon.

Under the tree, there were the corpses of strange beasts and mosquitoes, which had been cut into several pieces.

Ma Xiaolian was directing the newcomers to set up the camp, and the flying bell flags used for vigilance were inserted around the camp.

On the ground, a guardian spirit array was outlined, emitting faint fluorescent spirit lines, painted on the ground in exquisite geometric shapes, and a majestic spiritual pressure shrouded the spirit array.

In the dirt below the camp, countless strange insects and poisonous snakes rolled out, fleeing the area of the guardian spirit circle.

The newcomers around looked at the strange insects with red heads and spikes, the strange insects with blue and black scales on their backs, the poisonous snakes with several horns and gray poisonous mist, the huge spiders with colorful black fluff and a strange human face, the wild ants with brown-black metallic luster and teeth like iron scissors, and all kinds of strange insects, endlessly burrowing out of the rotten and dirty ground of the forest, and their faces turned pale with fright.

Some of the female disciples lost their faces, and their cherry lips screamed, constantly urging their spiritual power to drive away the snakes and insects that passed by their sides.

After a long time, the insect tide gradually stopped.

Ma Xiaolian took out the floating cloud wood from the space ring, threw it on the ground, and recited the secret mantra.

"Hum. ”

The finger-sized floating cloud wood began to emit a faint turquoise aura, and endless warm spiritual power fluctuations spread out from it, and a pale green, full of vitality and purity, enveloped the camp.

The rancid ground was blocked by a faint spiritual light, and the newlyweds stood on the spiritual light, and finally sat down to rest without fear of touching the ground.

Qu Mingfei was still standing proudly in the treetops, the wind was blowing, and her white clothes were fluttering, as if she wanted to return by the wind.

She looked at everything in the forest indifferently, in a trance and in a daze, but there seemed to be a hint of worry in her phoenix eyes.

The figures of Qin Hao and the three of them appeared far away on the edge of the sea of grass, and Qu Mingfei's beautiful face, which was as cold as frost, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and slowly fell into the camp by stepping on the Heavenly Fire Golden Wheel in the air.

The newcomers looked at Qu Mingfei in awe, their eyes full of admiration and admiration.

If it weren't for the protection of this powerful Senior Sister Qu along the way, many of them might have been seriously injured and ended the expedition early.

The three generals were at the Ancestral Pole and the other was a Demon Beast at the Rank Sect level, and in an instant, they were killed on the spot with an understatement, and the newcomers were deeply shocked by Qu Mingfei's strength.

"Ah, it's finally here. ”

Seeing the camp from afar, Qin Hao and Guo Xiaolu looked excited, howling and trotting over.

As soon as they stepped into the camp, both of them seemed to be scattered, lying on the ground and panting for breath.

"Haozi, Zhice, I think I'm finally alive again," Guo Xiaolu said with a sigh.

Qin Hao looked at the eternal leaden gray sky of the secret realm, and gasped: "Me too, I have never walked for such a long time, and I feel more tired than turning over a mountain." ”

Fu Zhice stood aside with a smile, took out the kettle for the two of them, and was about to hand it over, but the expression between his eyebrows was suddenly stunned.

A faint fragrance hit, a slender and elegant shadow, and I don't know when, standing not far from the three of them.

"Senior Sister Qu. ”

Qin Hao and Guo Xiaolu hurriedly turned over and got up, and saluted with Fu Zhice.

Qu Mingfei covered her face with a light veil, and the handsome phoenix eyes under her eyebrows swept over the three of them lightly, and said slowly: "Two junior brothers who are dragging their feet, if you can't keep up with the team, senior sister can only let you fend for yourself in this jungle." ”
