Chapter 69: The Battlefield
When Jiang Chen came to the primeval forest, the scene in front of him made him dumbfounded. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The whole forest is on top of a mountain range, the mountains are endless, the ancient trees are uneven, and the rocks are clustered, as if there is a trace of antiquity.
Moreover, Jiang Chen felt that there seemed to be a breath of human life lurking in the mountain range, and the endless mountain range was like a giant sleeping on the earth.
From time to time, some monks passed by in the mountain range, and those who entered were full of antiquity, while those who came out were some happy and some sad.
In this case, Jiang Chen naturally understands that they came to this mountain range to capture some demon beasts as mounts, or to get the core of demon beasts to absorb the spiritual power in them for cultivation, some people have gains, some people have no gains, and their natural expressions are different.
At first, Jiang Chen could still see people coming and going, but the deeper he went, the fewer people there became, and later, he didn't see a single figure directly.
The strange emotions of the holy tree became more and more obvious, and Jiang Chen knew that he had to move on.
In the forest, there was a cold aura echoing, which made Jiang Chen shiver, he always felt that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him all around, and there might be demon beasts pounce on him at any time.
But fortunately, there seems to be something in the shadows that is fearful, and it doesn't really appear.
After walking for a long time, Jiang Chen saw a stone tablet, beyond which it was deep in the forest, and a warning was written on it, even if it was a cultivator, he must not enter, otherwise there would be death and no life.
"To go or not to go......"
Jiang Chen stopped, his eyes changed, and the holy tree felt more and more intense, obviously the purpose of this time was in the depths of the mountain range, but there were powerful demon beasts entrenched in the depths of the mountain range, and if he was not careful, his life would be in danger, even some powerful elders did not dare to enter easily.
But the emotions of the Colorful Sacred Tree in his body gave Jiang Chen a very strange feeling, even if there was danger ahead, that feeling drove him forward.
In the end, Jiang Chen still stepped over the stone monument and resolutely entered the depths of the mountain range.
The Southern Regions are dangerous, if the strength is weak, it is not much better than the depths of the mountain range, and the people's hearts are sinister, Jiang Chen needs more means to save his life.
The most important thing is that there are less than five months left before the covenant of the Seven Star Sect, and the time is too short, and we must hurry up every minute and every second.
If there was really any genius treasure in the depths of the mountain range, Jiang Chen was willing to take risks, but if he really encountered any danger, he would avoid it as soon as possible.
Stepping over the stone monument, the feeling of being targeted became stronger and stronger, and Jiang Chen stubbornly advanced.
As time passed, Jiang Chen went deeper and deeper, and the ancient trees in the depths of this primeval forest became more and more sparse, and there were gravel pieces on the ground, as if they had experienced some battle.
The further he went, the more frightened Jiang Chen became, the ancient trees in the depths of the mountain range were scattered, as if they had been knocked down by life, and they fell to the ground wantonly, and the surrounding boulders were incomplete, and even there were many footprints on the ground.
The footprints are very strange, there are all kinds of shapes, I can't tell what kind of demon beasts they are, but one thing is certain, these demon beasts are extremely powerful, and if you meet one casually, it is enough for Jiang Chen to drink a pot.
Jiang Chen cautiously moved forward, wanting to avoid those demon beasts, but not long after, he was still targeted by a behemoth.
It was a leopard with a red body, eight legs, horns on the top of its head, and two wings, more than twice as tall as Jiang Chen, if anyone was here, they would definitely recognize it, because it was an adult red fire leopard that was terrifying, and even the Danyuan realm would not dare to provoke.
It stood tall ten meters away from Jiang Chen, looking down at Jiang Chen, who was like an ant to it, and its palm-sized red eyes revealed layers of fierce light.
"Oh no, how did you break into such a big guy's territory." Jiang Chen's face turned pale, he didn't expect to be so careful, but he still entered the fierce place, and the big guy in front of him was afraid that it would be difficult to deal with.
"I have no intention of encroaching on your territory." Jiang Chen didn't care if the demon beast could understand the words, so he yelled at him, "You retreat quickly, otherwise don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless." ”
It is rumored that some demon beasts after attaining the Tao can have some spiritual intelligence, in this case, they can move their mouths, Jiang Chen will try not to do it, after all, now is not the time to waste energy to deal with demon beasts.
"Roar!"
The huge red fire leopard didn't seem to understand Jiang Chen's words, and directly raised its claws and waved towards Jiang Chen with a fierce wind.
The violent wind blew Jiang Chen's clothes into a hunting sound, and just as he was about to make a move, there was a throbbing movement from the colorful holy tree in his body, which flew out on his own, blooming with colorful brilliance, and the jade egg on the holy tree was held high by a red light, rising and falling.
The claws that the Red Fire Leopard was about to fall suddenly stopped, and there was an extremely frightened look flashing in its palm-sized eyes, and then in Jiang Chen's surprised eyes, it knelt down with a bang, trembling, its huge head kept kowtowing, and the ground was knocked out of a pit that was neither deep nor shallow by its head.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen couldn't help but be a little stunned, and even if he understood the truth here, of course the big guy was not worshipping him, but worshipping the jade egg flowing with brilliance on the colorful holy tree.
Dragon, is the chief of all beasts, although the egg on the sacred tree is not necessarily a dragon, but it has the breath of a dragon and noble bloodline, the demon beasts in this mountain range must not be able to withstand the absolute suppression of the bloodline, so it will have this performance.
"I can't imagine that there is such a good thing, it seems to save me some trouble." Jiang Chen thought for a moment, then walked forward with the Colorful Sacred Tree, stepped on the back of the Red Fire Leopard, took off a tree stick and unceremoniously pumped it on its body, "Take me forward!" ”
"Whoa, whoa!"
The Red Fire Leopard howled, forced by the residual power of the Holy Tree Dragon Egg, and unwillingly moved forward with Jiang Chen.
I don't know if it's because of the dragon egg or the red fire leopard, Jiang Chen didn't encounter the rest of the demon beasts along the way, but what shocked him was that the deeper the mountain range, the more desolate it became, and in the end, there was not a single green tree, only endless gravel remained, and the entire mountain range was full of traces of weapon fights, or human palm prints.
Those traces looked quite ancient, and some of the marks were even covered with moss, and just by looking at them, Jiang Chen was sure that this place must have experienced a terrible battle.
And the battle is not one person, it is two groups of people, there are even demon beasts, there are human beings, each of them has the power of ten thousand people, judging from the surrounding traces, there was a powerful formation here to defend, but even that formation was finally shattered, along with the ancient trees in the depths of the mountain range.
Even after countless years, it is still a barren place, with no grass growing and only dry and cold rocks.
"What kind of fighting is going on here?" Jiang Chen stood on the back of the Red Fire Leopard, looking at the imprints that still remained after countless years around him and muttered, "What the hell is this place......
After the holy tree arrived here, it was shining brightly, but it was still signaling Jiang Chen to move forward, as if the destination was far away.
Jiang Chen raised his eyes and saw that in the distance of the barren mountain range, there seemed to be a huge pit of a hundred zhang, and the black gas in the pit was enveloping, and it was not real.
"Could that be the purpose of this trip?" Jiang Chen retracted his gaze, raised his slap and hit the Red Fire Leopard.
"Whew!" The red leopard wailed, but did not move.
"Let's go!" Jiang Chen slapped again.
The Red Fire Leopard moved this time, but it crawled down directly, lying on the ground, looking at Jiang Chen with big eyes pleadingly, and then looking ahead.
Seem...... It is unwilling to move on, even if it is pressured by dragon eggs, it would rather die than give in.
