Chapter 44: The Divine Lotus in the Lake
By noon, it had been three hours since Yiye entered the mountains, but at this moment, Yiye had only advanced for a few dozen miles. Along the way, he encountered many powerful fierce beasts, all of which had never been seen in the beast tide, and the entanglement with these fierce beasts greatly reduced the speed of Yiye's progress.
If this situation continues, it will be difficult to reach the place where the strange treasure is before dark, and it will be impossible to return to the sect when the beast tide comes.
Even if there are many difficulties ahead, how can Yiye give up because of this, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, he must try.
Blind persistence may not be able to achieve what you want, but Yiye is one of the lucky ones.
Just after noon, things took a turn for the better. In a very short period of time, many human powerhouses descended on the mountains one after another, and the powerful beasts were diverted by them, relieving a lot of pressure on Yiye, who was originally fighting alone, for a while.
At this time, I saw that in the middle of the air, a man was shrouded in golden light, and he had no mana but his body showed a shocking vision. Stepping on the void, one step at a time, the figure suddenly sank into the mountains in an instant.
After this, a team of men and women followed. The woman was scantily clad and had a flirtatious demeanor, and the man was pale with pink on his face. Ignoring the eyes of the monks outside the mountains, the two of them flirted and scolded each other on the crane, as if they were inadvertently flying in the direction of the strange treasure.
While many monks were still immersed in the woman's charm, they had already been killed by a sudden poisonous miasma. A poisonous miasma covered a radius of several miles, rapidly approaching the mountains, and only a monk with a high level of cultivation would notice that there was a monk in the middle of the miasma who was controlling all this.
When the poisonous miasma entered the mountains, it saw a monstrous demonic qi sweeping rapidly from afar. No monk noticed the traces of the demon, and no monk saw the face of the person who exuded demonic energy. I don't know if he is old or young, male or female.
Immediately following these people were the genius disciples of the top sects of the Tianwu Kingdom, except for the Tu Eucalyptus Immortal Sect, almost all the sects had people who appeared here.
Although Kazuha was deep in the mountains, he also felt the powerful aura of these people.
Kazuha doesn't know if these people are friends or foes, but he thinks that the appearance of these people will have more advantages than disadvantages for his own operation. Regardless of whether these people can take away the strange treasure, just their appearance has already helped Yiye alleviate the current predicament.
Yiye only stopped for a moment, and immediately seized the opportunity to run towards the depths of the mountains. It's got to the point where Kazuha can't just count on these people, he still prefers to take his fate into his own hands......
Although so many monks appeared, no one came to the Guiyi Sect. Because for the whole mountain, the Guiyi Sect is too small, and in the eyes of these monks, places like the Guiyi Sect can never be ignored directly.
Xiao Yi, who was in the Guiyi Sect, had been looking at the mountains since Yiye left. At this time, Xiao Yi will not deny that her heart is always worried about Yiye.
After the appearance of these monks, Xiao Yi wanted to shout out loudly for Yiye, hoping that Yiye would quickly withdraw from the mountains. But Xiao Yi didn't want Yiye to return to his side at this time, but just wanted Yiye to leave forever and never come back......
Without too many fierce beasts to stop him, the path ahead of Yiye no longer seemed extremely difficult, and in the hour after those monks appeared, Yiye had traveled more than the previous half of the day combined. At this rate, it would take at most half an hour and a leaf to find the traces of that strange treasure.
However, the truth is not as Yiye wants, when Yiye is rushing away, a figure bathed in golden light descends straight from mid-air, comes to Yiye, and blocks Yiye's way forward.
Kazuha already sensed the proximity of this person, but the speed of the person was too fast, so that Kazuha didn't have time to react too much. Feeling the strength of this breath, Yiye quickly retreated more than ten zhang before carefully examining the person in front of him.
This man is a stout man, with long blond hair and golden pupils. His cultivation is also only in the state of mind, but Yiye can feel the threat to himself from his body, and this danger comes partly from this person's strength, and the other part is caused by the fierce momentum on his body.
The mana of the blonde man was surging, and he could faintly see the appearance of a vision, but his body did not move, but it had already made Yiye vigilant.
"Tell me what you see and know, and I can spare your life," the blonde man said slowly, the arrogance and strength in his tone undisguised. And then the words fell, an invisible and powerful aura emanated from the blonde man, and he seemed to want to suppress Yiye with absolute power.
Kazuha was enveloped by this power in an instant, and although he was disgusted by the way this person spoke, Kazuha did not choose to fight it, but quickly retreated.
Kazuha knew that if he fought this person here, he was afraid that it would be difficult to decide the winner in a short period of time. And that's not what Kazuha wants to see, and he can't afford to delay too much time here.
As Kazuha left, he stood on the branch and glanced at the blonde man, who had already remembered the man's face because he was an opponent worth killing.
The blonde man was a little surprised when he saw Yiye retreat safely, he didn't expect such a seemingly ordinary person to have quite good strength.
Although he knew that Kazuha was very strong, the blonde man did not take it to heart. With his birth, talent, and strength, there is no need to pay attention to the so-called genius in a remote place.
"The next time you see me, it's your death. At this time, the blonde man did not think that Kazuha was qualified to be his opponent, he would only think that Kazuha's departure was disrespectful to himself, and those who disrespected him would have to pay the price.
Yiye left the sight of the blonde man, but he didn't choose to quit. Sensing that many human powerhouses were coming in this direction, Yiye chose to lie dormant in the shadows and follow the footsteps of everyone to explore the traces of strange treasures.
As he continued to observe in the dark, Kazuha couldn't help but be shocked by the strength of these people. Although most of these people's cultivation is only in the realm of the mind, the aura emanating from their bodies is definitely extraordinary, and they are not much stronger than those disciples of the three sects a few days ago.
Although the blonde man took the first step, he didn't know the general location of the treasure, so when he arrived, Kazuha had already followed the monks to the place where the treasure was.
Climbing over dozens of mountains and through a dense primeval jungle, a huge lake came into view.
The surface of the lake is very wide, standing in the sky and looking at the border can barely be known, the color of the lake is thick, it is difficult to know its depth, the lake surface is relatively calm, only a huge golden lotus in the center of the lake is gently shaking.
This is not an ordinary lotus flower, but more like a sacred object. The petals are open and covered with water, and there are no lotus leaves around, and there is a huge lotus canopy in the center. There are no lotus seeds on the lotus canopy, and only a golden needle is in the center of the lotus canopy from a distance.
The young powerhouses were either standing on the shore of the lake, or standing in the air, looking at the magical golden lotus from a distance, knowing that this might be a great opportunity, but at this time, no one acted rashly.
The people present at this time were either the top figures of the various sects of the Tianwu Kingdom, or the proud sons of the heavens who enjoyed a good reputation on one side.
Therefore, everyone knew very well that such a strange treasure would not be easily obtained by one person, and regardless of whether there were murderous creatures in the lake to protect it, even the people around it were a great threat.
For a while, dozens of monks were frozen on the shore of the lake, and no one was willing to risk their lives, they all just wanted to be the ones who reaped the benefits.
This situation lasted for half an hour, and seeing that it was difficult to have a result if it continued like this, one person stood up, "Huang Cheng, who is shaking the light door, dare to listen to me." ”
Everyone looked at this young man in a robe, but they didn't expect him to be the Taoist who shook the door.
The Shaking Light Sect is one of the seven top sects in the Tianwu Kingdom, except for the Tu Eucalyptus Immortal Sect, and each generation of its sect will elect the strongest person as the Daozi. From this point of view, this Huang Cheng's strength is the ultimate existence in the Shaking Light Gate Generation.
Now that Huang Cheng had already revealed his identity, the monks didn't say much, and they all wanted to know what he Huang Cheng could do, even the arrogant blonde man only showed a little disdain, but he didn't make any other moves.
"As we all know, there will be a great murderer guarding the innate spirit creatures, and most of the divine lotus in front of you will not be an exception," Huang Cheng said slowly, "Although everyone present is a Tianjiao, I think no one is sure at this time, and no one will want to go and find out alone." Huang Cheng looked around, wanting to know how everyone would react.
The crowd was noncommittal. Huang Cheng said this, and there must be a follow-up, so no one immediately expressed his position at this time.
"If there is still time, I don't recommend accompanying everyone to continue to wait and see. But in the past few days, my younger generation has received the news here, and presumably those powerful seniors will soon hear about it, and at that time, with the low cultivation of you and me, I am afraid that there will not even be a chance to get a piece of the pie. Although there was a hint of incitement in Huang Cheng's words, what he said was not unreasonable.
Recently, it seems that someone has deliberately spread the disappearance of this exotic treasure in the Tianwu country. For some reason, the news was initially circulated among the younger generation, so they were the first to rush here. But considering that the movement they caused along the way was very great, I am afraid that it will not be long before the situation here will be known to the powers.
Everyone didn't have to think about it, and they knew that what Huang Cheng said was true, so they saw a scantily clad woman on top of the crane and asked with a chuckle, "In that case, I don't know what you are planning to do, Senior Brother Huang." ”
This woman is from the Hehuan Sect, and her behavior is coquettish, and her words are full of teasing. The reactions of the monks present to her words were mixed, either with disdain or contempt, and with the exception of a few prostitutes, few of them looked at her squarely.
This woman has a good appearance, and she has a posture of bare breasts and breasts, and she is also quite accomplished in her charms, but it is still quite difficult to disturb everyone's mood, after all, the people here are not ordinary people.
The woman in Hehuan was not annoyed by everyone's reaction, and still just looked at Huang Cheng with a charming face.
Huang Cheng will not be affected by this, "If you can trust me, I will volunteer to lead the way for you in front, but if you encounter a fierce thing that is difficult to fight against at that time, I hope you will kill together in time." When we set foot on the lotus platform together, we will go our separate ways, so it is better for everyone to have opinions. Huang Cheng said his plan, and at this time he wanted to know what other people thought.
"My husband and I are willing to follow Senior Brother Huang," the first to express her position was still the woman from the Hehuan Sect, but the pale-faced man beside her did not speak.
"I'm fine. ”
"You can give it a try. ”
"Hmm," the monks thought for a moment, and most of them agreed to Huang Cheng's proposal, only a few of them did not express their position, and the blonde man was among them, and Yiye did not appear openly in the jungle deep behind.
"In this case, we will leave immediately, and I hope that all Taoist friends will keep to themselves and do not do more unrighteous things. Huang Cheng looked at those who didn't show his attitude, especially the blonde man who stayed for a moment, as if to warn them.
"Hmph," the blonde man disdained when he heard this, and directly took up his body and flew towards the center of the lake where Shenlian was.
Huang Cheng felt quite different when he saw this, so he also followed the sky. Everyone behind him no longer hesitated when they saw this, no matter what attitude they had before, they didn't want to be behind at this time, and even Yiye followed behind quietly.
The blonde man and Huang Cheng took the lead, and everyone followed, and the distance of more than ten miles passed in a moment. At this time, the surroundings were still calm, and there was no abnormal movement, and the appearance of the divine lotus was already clearly visible.
At this moment, everyone noticed that the lotus platform formed by the lotus canopy was not a golden needle, but a golden spear surrounded by Xuan Qi, standing in the center of the lotus platform.
The blonde man was overjoyed to see this, and he could feel the metallic aura emanating from the spear, which matched him perfectly. Now he is lacking a suitable weapon, and this spear born of heaven and earth is completely good.
The urgency of his heart made the blonde man less cautious, and flew straight to the lotus platform, intending to grab the spear before everyone else.
When others saw this, they also knew that the spear was the most important treasure here, such as this kind of natural spiritual weapon, which was one of the rarest treasures in this world.
Faced with the great opportunity in front of them, all the monks could not care about the potential danger, and they all showed their magical powers and went straight to the golden spear.
The blonde man was so fast that he was about to shake off the crowd and take the treasure for himself. Huang Cheng, who was behind him, didn't want him to succeed when he saw this, only to see Huang Cheng wielding a majestic mana, and a spell directly hit the blonde man's back.
The blonde man sensed the danger, although he didn't take Huang Cheng in his eyes, it was impossible for him to ignore Huang Cheng's attack, so he had no choice but to turn around and resist.
And after this toss, the speed of the blonde man was greatly reduced, and I saw Huang Cheng take the opportunity to catch up with him from one side, and there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth that had succeeded in his treacherous scheme.
"You are looking for death!" The blonde man was angry, but he didn't expect that this Huang Cheng was the most restless person.
The blonde man just wanted to use a spell to fight back, but he saw that a poisonous miasma had trapped Huang Cheng, who was about to step on the lotus platform, and the yin man who used the poisonous miasma wanted to step forward, so he was immediately hit back by many attacks.
Soon a chaotic battle began on the surface of the lake because of Huang Cheng's actions, and all the monks had no definite opponent, as long as anyone wanted to step on the lotus platform, countless spell attacks would swarm.
The originally calm surface of the lake soon became turbulent under the raging mana, and no one was able to set foot on the lotus platform for a long time, not even the blonde man with superior strength.
"There's a murderous thing underwater!" After a long time, the man of the Hehuan Sect who was standing on top of the crane suddenly shouted.
This sound woke up the people who had lost their minds, and they all looked underwater, and they all felt that something was wrong, and they didn't dare to have the slightest hesitation and immediately dispersed around.
The woman of the Hehuan Sect on the side of the man also sensed that the situation was wrong. Through the water, a murderous creature lurked beneath them, leaping up from the bottom of the water with its bloody mouth wide open, intending to swallow them both into its belly.
According to the aura emanating from the thing underwater, the woman of the Hehuan Sect knew that a great calamity was coming, and if she did not respond decisively, then she would definitely die here.
I saw that the woman left the crane and quickly swept to the side, and at the same time used two spells in succession to hit her companion and the crane under her.
Faced with the woman's sudden blow, the man of the Hehuan Sect could only respond in a hurry for a while. Although the spell failed to hurt him, his speed was greatly reduced, and the crane beneath him was so badly injured that he could no longer continue to fly.
The crane that stood still in the air was soon devoured by the fierce creatures that poked their heads out of the water, and the men of the Hehuan Sect were not spared because they were targeted by the fierce beasts. On the contrary, it was the woman who was the acacia, because she had a companion to attract the attention of the murderous object, and finally fled to a safe area.
Except for the men of the Hehuan Sect, everyone else also avoided the sudden attack of the murderous object. Everyone retreated thousands of feet away to see the whole picture of this murderous thing.
"There is a dragon in this place!" One person was surprised to learn the origin of this murderous thing.
"It's just a young black Jiao, my ancestor cut down Dacheng Jiao thousands of years ago. Others are dismissive.
"This dragon's bloodline is quite weird, and its cultivation is higher than ours, so it's not easy to deal with. ”
"It's hard to kill it, but it's not impossible to avoid it and step on the lotus platform. ”
"You wait for the same as the waste of the Hehuan Sect, or leave here," one person was extremely arrogant, ignoring the reaction of the crowd and flying towards the lotus platform again, after avoiding the black dragon's attacks several times in succession, it seemed to be a sign of success.
All the monks present had their own arrogance, and it was impossible for them to retreat, seeing that someone was about to arrive at the lotus platform, they no longer waited on the spot, and each showed their skills one after another, and went straight to the lotus platform.
