Chapter 152 Killing Monsters

With Ye Qing's special mosquito repellent potion, Tang Qi and others were finally able to travel lightly, and they didn't have to wrap themselves tightly like a zongzi in a hot day, but they could not wear a diving suit, and they had to wear long hiking boots.

Ning Fei seems to have a lot of insight into geography, he said that in addition to guarding against insect bites, you should also be especially careful not to step on the swamp, because the sludge is often easy to breed a large number of parasites that cannot be seen by the naked eye because of long-term fermentation and hoarding.

When he used to serve, he had fought an ambush on the Vietnamese side, and he saw with his own eyes that the Vietnamese took advantage of the geographical advantage to trick a squad into the swamp, and some people walked behind, because they found it in time, only the front foot sank into a little, but after being pulled out, the whole calf has been hollowed out, and in that case, in fact, not dying is more uncomfortable than dying.

Tang Qi originally wanted to find a reason to shirk it at first, but after he said this, he immediately compromised obediently, and even when she changed her shoes, she deliberately tied her pants tighter, for fear that while walking, an unknown insect would get into it, and she would gnaw the whole ** in a few casual strokes.

It took nearly half an hour to pack his bags, and soon, all the equipment was finished, and Ning Fei saw that it was not early, so he shouted at the remaining three to set off quickly.

The canyon where the inner mountain is located is really strange, the outer area is craggy and the terrain is quite high, but the center is a humid and rainy oasis, infested with insects and ants all year round, and the sun does not shine.

Walking in such a dense forest, it is natural to be careful in everything, it is better at first, the surrounding trees are relatively loose, although the air is turbid, but at least it can form convection, but the further you go inside, the worse the situation becomes.

Layers of tree shadows are intertwined, black and pressed, like a moldy footcloth spread on the head, the surrounding temperature is very high, the air is abnormally humid, and after walking a few steps, the body is sweaty all of a sudden.

The sultry atmosphere seems to be particularly able to dissipate people's enthusiasm, just like Tang Qi, she was chatting with Ye Qing with great interest at the beginning, rather than asking, she would also respond a few times, but it didn't take long for only the strength to fan the wind while walking.

"Do you feel like we've been going downhill?" Looking up at the sky, Ye Qing suddenly paused and asked.

She has always been sensitive to the perception of air, and it stands to reason that if she walks on the same level, the degree of change in humidity should not be very large, but along the way, the concentration of moisture in the surrounding area has always remained high, and even gradually increased invisibly.

This made her wonder, could it be that the overall structure of this canyon was like a bottomless giant pit?

"Will it?" Tang Qi touched his head and said weakly: "Why can't I feel it?" ”

The young man surnamed Murong crossed his hands in front of his chest, stared at the sky with his eyes hooked, and did not speak.

Ning Fei frowned and looked around, and after a while, he nodded and said, "That's right, it seems that we are indeed going downhill!" ”

He said the canyon has few fractures in the rock walls, and it doesn't look like it's been carved by the wind, but rather a natural sight caused by some kind of geological movement, such as an earthquake or a volcanic eruption.

It's just that not long after he finished speaking, he shook his head and added: "No, no, you see here, if this canyon is formed by internal forces such as geological movements, the crack should be inverted V-shaped, but the fracture here obviously presents a positive V-shape, that is, its formation is not affected by internal factors, but caused by external factors?" ”

Ning Fei was taken aback by his conjecture, his eyes widened, and he said to himself: "God, what kind of external force should it be to carve such a geographical miracle?" Meteorite impact, or planetary collision? ”

Tang Qi was a little confused, and asked: "If these can't be explained, then you say, is it possible that this canyon was directly torn apart by the Queen Mother of the West with immortal power in order to build her own underground palace?" ”

As soon as the words came out, the remaining three were silent.

She is destined to get no definite answer to this question.

Ye Qing only knew that the Inner Divine Mountain and her party might be much more complicated than she imagined, and even felt that the underground palace of the Queen Mother of the West was like a bureau, a bureau where she knew that there were many dangers, but she had to take risks.

The reason is very simple, because the Living Buddha said: only there can she have the opportunity to meet the person she has been thinking about - her master, Xiao Ran.

Continuing to rush forward, at this time, Ye Qing and the others had gradually penetrated into the rainforest area, and the realm where they could still see the light of the stars was completely left behind.

Everyone turned on their flashlights at the same time, and saw that the damp mud and tangled trees were all under their feet, like the tentacles of monsters spreading everywhere, and from time to time spiders, poisonous bees, scorpions, poisonous snakes and other insects crawled by, smelled the medicine, and crawled away in a familiar way.

In addition to the mud ambush, the stones in the nearby area are also covered with moss, and the four of them walked up, basically one foot at a time, but fortunately they had made sufficient preparations in advance, and had the protection of long hiking boots, so as not to fall into the mud.

Tang Qi walked out of breath, wiping his sweat, and jokingly said that when it was time for dinner, she must go out to get some game and open meat.

But in such a place, in addition to countless mosquitoes, insects, ants, and bugs, where is there any food that can be served on the table.

Tang Qi said that she was not afraid, she and her aunt had been to Guangdong, and saw that the people over there even dared to eat fried scorpions and fried grasshoppers.

Ning Fei smiled and said yes, yes, it's best if the fragrance can attract the beasts nearby, so that it will be lively enough.

When Tang Qi heard this, his little face, which was still eager to try, suddenly collapsed again.

"Rustle...... Rustle......"

Faintly, it looked like something was quietly moving.

Ye Qinggang realized that Murong Invincible, who had always been silent along the way, took the lead in speaking: "There is something strange in the forest ahead, everyone had better be careful." ”

With that, he slowly reached for the long box behind his back.

In fact, from the first meeting, Ye Qing noticed the long camphor box behind him, originally thought that there would be some rare treasures inside, but he didn't expect that what he took out in the end was actually an oily black peachwood sword.

The sword was nearly a meter long, the whole body was black and faint, and there seemed to be a lot of spell inscriptions carved on the face, dense, like an earthworm, which looked very weird.

After being held by the young man, the blade of the sword began to emit a faint light, which was dark red, like rich blood, and was flowing out little by little, but it could not flow endlessly.

His strange behavior made the other three people also stop, listening carefully, just now it was still faintly audible rustling, but suddenly it was gone, there was a heavy atmosphere suppressed in the air, closed his eyes, and could only hear each other's heartbeats of "poof" and "poof".

Ning Fei gestured for them to move on, and after a few steps, the rustling sound reappeared.

"What the hell?" He asked, frowning.

As soon as the words fell, a wind suddenly blew in the forest, a sharp sound of breaking the air whistled in the darkness, and countless leaves flew in mid-air, Tang Qi raised the flashlight and swept left and right, and saw a thick tree root stretching out from the ground, quickly and forcefully throwing towards the place where everyone was.

Murong Invincible didn't want to think about it, he directly picked up the wooden sword to meet the enemy, as if he noticed the killing intent on the master's body, the whole body of the peach wood sword was glowing with dazzling light, and he heard a snort, half of the tree root was cut down by it, the root couldn't retract the momentum, and he threw it out heavily, sweeping away a lot of fallen leaves along the road, and finally didn't know what he hit, so he stopped for a long time.

Without waiting for Tang Qi to applaud, another tree root stretched out from the ground, menacing, and the strength was very amazing, and the one that had been cut off in half before, as if not to be outdone, also shook it back with the power of the rebound.

Murong Invincible's face remained unchanged, and a long sword was danced smoothly by him, almost at the same moment, several red lights flashed in unison, followed by a few more bangs, and those tree roots were like cutting turnips, divided into several pieces, and spread them on the dirt floor at will.

"Hey, stinky boy, are you alright?" Seeing Murong Invincible walking back with his sword, Tang Qi glanced at him and asked casually.

He nodded expressionlessly, did not speak, his breathing was slightly panting, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, obviously in the battle, although he was not injured, he also consumed a lot of strength.

Ning Fei couldn't figure out what was the thing that attacked them from behind just now, so he pulled Tang Qi and asked: "Answer scientifically, you'd better not tell me, those were ghosts before!" ”

"Of course it's not a ghost!" Tang Qi smiled, and then said, "That's a tree spirit." ”

"Dryads?!" Ning Fei was confused, and immediately rewarded her with a burst of chestnuts, and said: "Tang Qi, the teacher hopes that you will be more scientific, less fooling people, and looking at things from a scientific perspective." ”

Apparently he was not happy with this answer.

Ye Qing said indifferently: "That's indeed a tree spirit." ”

Dryads are somewhat similar to dryads, but they are not identical.

Dryads are just low-level plants that rely on the right time and place to cultivate their souls, and initially have a kind of creature similar to human sanity, they can't walk, they can't hunt prey from a distance, but the dryads are different, they can be said to be upgraded versions of the dryads, they can already walk independently, and the trunk branches can even take the initiative to attack each other, often by surprise, killing with one move.

Although Ning Fei nodded as if he didn't understand, his heart was still full of doubts.

- For example, how does a tree cultivate its soul, and how does it acquire its sanity? Also, what does it mainly rely on to walk freely, and why does it take the initiative to attack others?

Without waiting for him to ask these questions one by one, the peachwood sword in Murong Invincible's hand suddenly burst out with a cloud of red light, and only a few thin sharp sounds were heard in the red light, like the sound of a bullet cutting through the sky, from far to near, and soon close to his ears.
