Chapter Thirty-Seven: Into the Valley
Somewhere in the Heavenly Continent.
"Is what the ghost fog said true? Why did I die in the next day?"
"Yes, the Three Heavenly Teachers, please mourn. The little one has already sent someone to verify that it was the Southern Sword Emperor and the Northern Spear Emperor who teamed up to kill the Lord of the Green Spirit Emperor. The Ghost King and the Ghost Fox King have confirmed their martyrdom, and the Fairy Fox King failed to find the body but should have been martyred. This time, only the ghost mist undead of the Daoists sent by our Dao to the Human Continent survived, and the others had all been martyred. ”
"Damn! If it weren't for the fact that the five sects on the Heavenly Continent were pressing down now, this Heavenly Master would have gone to destroy these Xiaoxiao to avenge my Tian'er!"
"Yes, it's disgusting that the ants of the Continent of Mere People dare to shout at me. However, the Great Heavenly Master issued an edict that his Daoist friends were not allowed to go out until he left the customs. And ......"
"Don't babble, say!"
"The Five Heavenly Masters think that Lord Green Spirit is impulsive and impulsive, and he is not a suitable candidate to serve as the master of the branch altar at all. And Lord Fairy Fox and Lord Green Spirit Emperor have a lot of filth, Lord Charm Fox is even more resentful of the Great Heavenly Master and has no feelings for the Northern Spear Emperor, she thinks that Lord Charm Fox should never be sent this time. The Five Heavenly Masters judged that the reason why there would be such a heavy loss this time was due to two reasons, one was that Lord Fox had betrayed his own way, and the other Lord Green Spirit Emperor had done nothing. The Five Heavenly Masters also said that those old Dao friends will die when they die, but the loss of many young elites can't just be counted like that, and when the Great Heavenly Master leaves the customs, he will make it clear that the Great Heavenly Master will hold the Dao middle and high-level related people accountable. ”
"Hmph! That woman thinks that she is the second child when she sleeps with her eldest brother!
"Alas, the order of the eldest brother cannot be violated. The people who ordered us to keep a low profile during this time. You will wait for me! Let you live for a few more days!"
"Obey the decree of the three-day teacher. ”
"By the way, is there any news from that bastard of the soul fairy?"
"That guy seems to have evaporated from the world, and his subordinates speculate that even if she is alive, she will be at most an Emperor Realm cultivator. ”
"That slut has ruined the best disciple of this Heavenly Master, this Heavenly Master will never let her go!
"Yes!"
At the same time, deep in the Demon Dragon Mountains.
"Brother Yujian, get up and eat knife noodles, the egg yolk belongs to you. ”
"No, it's hard to get a good night's sleep. Hey,, what are you playing, Master Black, role-playing!"
Master Hei's head will be turned into a bun that Wan'er often combs, and I can't tell the truth from the fake with my sleepy eyes.
Speaking of Wan'er, I don't know if she is doing well in Tianlan Palace.
"Teacher Bai, where is the red dust blood hosta?"
Hong Tong's voice came with some complaints, in fact, not only him, but also I was a little depressed. In order to find the Red Dust Blood Hosta, we have been in this Demon Dragon Mountain Range for more than three months.
"Alas, the old man also saw from the codex of a ring owner that there was a place called Dragon and Phoenix Tomb in the Demon Dragon Mountain Range. But the codex simply states that the dragon and phoenix mound is in a valley protected by divine power, and only those who are destined to enter it. ”
"It's okay, Mr. Bai. We'll definitely be able to find it, and Erya is making so fast progress in this Demon Dragon Mountain Range! ”
"Sister Yuxin, the energy of heaven and earth here is much more abundant than that of Longyi, which will naturally be of great benefit to your cultivation. However, you are really talented, and you have broken through to the Horn Zun realm in only three months. My boss and I are really getting farther and farther away from you. ”
"All of you, I'm stronger to protect you and my brother. ”
"Two people eat soft rice. ”
Hong Tong and I glanced at Master Hei viciously, but we didn't dare to attack.
It's another day of exploration.
The Demon Dragon Mountain Range is high and densely forested, and the shrubs are thick, and it is difficult to see even the beast path. Due to the influence of the rich energy of heaven and earth, there are almost no ordinary beasts in the Demon Dragon Mountain Range, all of them are demonic beasts. These monsters have their own magical abilities, and they are very troublesome to deal with.
The second girl is in front, Hongtong is in the middle, and I am broken. And the two teachers, black and white, intended to train us and did not come out to protect us.
Hongtong and I took turns using probes to probe our surroundings and move forward cautiously.
"Erya, there is a big snake 5 meters to your left. ”
Erya, who had been reminded by me, was immediately on guard, and suddenly a bush to her left jumped up and pounced on her. Erya short sword swung out a white light to meet the shrub, and with a bang, the shrub was remembered to fly out more than 20 meters.
The long strip of shrub turned out to be a pseudo-leaf demon snake that was 4 meters long and as thick as A4 paper, and it was said that the pseudo-leaf demon snake was a mutated offspring of the combination of a soul eater spider and some kind of demon snake. Its back is covered with leaf-like flesh buds, and it is adept at disguised as a shrub waiting for an opportunity to sneak up. It paralyzes its prey with its powerful paralyzing toxin, then secretes digestive juices that dissolve the prey's bones and internal organs, and finally uses its unique mouthparts to pierce the prey and suck it.
The pseudo-leaf demon snake that was knocked away by Er Ya fell to the ground, and a large hole was cut open on its body, and purple-black blood gushed out. At this time, a few small branches one inch long came out of nowhere and fell to its wound, and the pseudo-leaf demon snake suddenly struggled and rolled violently. But as the pseudo-leaf demon snake rolled, not only did it fail to shake off the small branches, but more and more small branches catapulted onto its body, and soon the body of the pseudo-leaf demon snake was completely covered by the small branches.
"Leaf flying ants, this guy is dangerous. A nest of thousands of Leaf Flying Ants is equivalent to a third-level demonic beast. However, as long as you're not injured and don't get too close to its lair, it won't attack you. ”
Teacher Hei's leisurely explanation was not finished, and the Pseudo-Leaf Flying Ants wrapped in the Pseudo-Leaf Demon Snake had already dispersed in a hurry, leaving only the body of the completely deflated Pseudo-Leaf Demon Snake on the ground. Leafy flying ants continue to emerge from the skin of the pseudo-leaf demon snake in twos and threes, and fly back to the bushes next to them.
When I looked closely, it turned out that most of the leaves of the lush shrub were pseudophyllous flying ants. Because a single leaf ant does not pose a threat, I subconsciously did not perceive it as a threat when I probed it.
"Mr. Hei, how far away is it to be safe?"
"5 meters is enough, the Leaf Flying Ant can't fly, it just jumps high to make people mistakenly think it's flying, in fact, it only jumps 5 meters. ”
I visually inspected it, and the closest we were to the Leaf Flying Ant was about 15 meters. I exchanged a look with Hongtong, and it was better to stay away from it.
After paying special attention to these little insects on the way, I understood why the Demon Dragon Mountain Range was rarely entered. There are too many poisonous insects, snakes and ants, especially magical beasts such as pseudo-leaf demon snakes and pseudo-leaf flying ants, which are good at camouflage and have poisonous attacks. If we hadn't had the hints of the two elders in black and white, plus Hong Tong and I could sense the faint magic power of the Demon Beast, it would have been difficult to move an inch in the Demon Dragon Mountain Range.
"Boss, don't you think the shrubs seem to form a circle?"
Hong Tong is right, we have indeed been going around in circles for half a day. We wanted to explore the valley between the two mountains in front of us, but now we are getting farther and farther away because of the flying ants.
"The old man went in and had a look. ”
As soon as Master Bai's words fell, he turned into a white light and flew towards the valley.
"Little Jian'er, help the old man!"
After a while, Master Bai sent a message, and I increased the mana input into the ring as he requested.
"Old man Bai can be 10 kilometers away from you now, and if you inject mana, you can reach 20 kilometers. This valley should not be more than 15 km, it seems that he has something to gain. ”
"Well, you're right. The old man found a cave in it, which was very rich in the energy of heaven and earth, but the hole was too deep for the old man to probe in. ”
"Leaf flying ants are afraid of fire, so use fire to open the way. ”
According to Master Hei's suggestion, Hong Tong raised his right hand and clenched his fist, his index finger was like a halberd's front finger, condensing magic power in front of his fingers.
"Fire Serpent. ”
A one-meter-thick fiery snake burst out and flew towards the valley with a dazzling red light, turning all the bushes in its path to ashes. Although the shrubs that had not been touched by the snake's body did not turn into flying ashes, they also burned rapidly, and the flying ants fled one after another.
Hongtong then ran towards the gray path formed by the fiery serpent, and I followed him closely and cast my magic.
"Ice condensation. ”
Suddenly, the ash path that was still smoking quickly condensed a layer of frost, and Erya also followed me on this frost road. We kept moving forward in this formation, Hongtong kept casting fire snakes to open the way, and I released ice condensation to form a passage, and Erya followed us to protect our safety.
After about 1 kilometre of progress, we finally managed to get out of the bushes.
"Brother, are you waiting for it to burn like this?"
After the second girl retreated 20 meters away from the bushes, she pointed to the fireworks behind her and asked me.
"I'll solve it, after all, we're here to find something, not to open up wasteland. ”
I raised the stick high with both hands, closed my eyes and chanted the incantation: "Spirit of the wind, spirit of water, please accept my offering, the spirit gathers into a cloud." ”
With the incantation of my spell, my magic surged out into the sky. Under the pull of my magic power, the qi and water elements condensed at a high speed, and soon the sky above the fire field was covered with dark clouds.
After about 5 minutes of maintaining the mana, the clouds were almost complete. I continued: "The thunder rises, the wind blows, and the rain falls. ”
Suddenly, the electric light swept down the clouds in the sky, and the thunder rolled, and then a heavy rain covered the entire fire field.
"It's fun to use your shield, it's just a little hot. ”
"Of course, it's a fire shield, it evaporates the rain that falls, and we won't get wet. ”
I glanced at the 5-meter-square fire shield that covered all of us 3 meters above my head, and felt a little lost.
No one praised such a heavy rain, and some people praised Hongtong for a shield, he was really single and had no human rights. Alas, I want to be Wan'er again.
"Well, this rain will rain for at least 20 minutes, let's go and find Master Bai. ”
I really couldn't stand the two next to me next to each other to show affection, so I hurriedly set off after saying something weakly.
Just a few minutes after we turned to leave, the frost in the gray path we had opened suddenly completely melted, and the emerald green shoots broke through the ground and grew rapidly. After just 10 minutes, the grey trail was filled with new green bushes. The newly grown bushes will no longer grow tall when they grow to the level of the bushes next to them, and the ground of the newly grown bushes will drill out of the green branches, which are the leafy flying ants.
I looked at the valley, it was an ordinary-looking valley, nothing peculiar, but I could feel something special about it, and it made my body cheer. I looked at Hong Tong, and he was looking at me excitedly, but it was important to find Master Bai first.
"This way. ”
I followed the prestige, and at a height of 6 or 7 meters on the straight cliff wall full of dark red vines, there was a stone platform formed by the protruding mountain wall, and a thicket of artemisia grass more than two meters high covered the cliff wall behind it.
I closed my eyes and felt carefully, behind the artemisia grass, there was a much richer amount of heaven and earth energy slowly seeping out than the surrounding area.
"Brother, these vines don't seem ordinary?"
"Well, it's the mandala red vine that rolled you up the other day. ”
Erya's face was slightly pale, but her eyes were full of anger when she looked over. A month ago, she didn't listen to the dissuasion to chase the little rabbit, but was hung up and beaten by the mandala red vine, and since then she has been much more well-behaved and never runs around again.
The scene that day, none of us dared to mention it in front of Erya in the future, and it became Erya's biggest rebellion.
