Yan Ying's experience surprised Fang Zhen.

During this period of self-redemption, Yan Ying actually saved nearly 100,000 people before and after.

She had all brought them back in mustard beads, only to have an accident at the last step.

But the message is not so simple.

Fang Scar said with some surprise, "Aren't all these people infected?" We have conducted a general exploration before, but we have not found such a large number of survivors.

After discovering that the Taiqing Sect had fallen and corrupted, and that the other sect factions had been polluted by the expatriates of the Taiqing Sect and had followed the degeneration, Fang Zhen and the others had already sent various investigators to find the survivors.

The lightning falcon flew around Zhongzhou more than a dozen times, and some scouts like death squads also launched four or five armed reconnaissances, but the news brought back was disappointing and frustrating, except for the few sects closest to Zidou Mountain, there were less than a thousand survivors who were rescued by them, and there were almost no survivors in the farther places.

It's not that there is nothing at all, but the number is very small, according to its number and combat effectiveness, it is impossible to hold out until the Qingshan Hundred Refining Sect rushes to the rescue, and if it is forcibly rescued, it may lose more manpower, so it can only give up.

Under such circumstances, Fang Zhen didn't expect that Yan Ying could actually find the survivors of nearly 100,000 people, how did he do this?

Yan Ying said: "This matter is also what I want to report to Venerable Fang!"

Obviously, Yan Ying still hadn't discovered the fact that Fang Scar had become a Heaven and Earth Realm Sage, after all, Fang Scar was already good at hiding his own aura, and not long ago, Yan Ying had seen Fang Scar promoted to the Origin Realm Venerable, and it had only been a month or two, and she hadn't thought that Fang Scar would be able to break through to the Heaven and Earth Realm Sage so quickly.

However, this was just a small detail of insignificance to Fang Zhen, so he didn't correct the other party, but listened to the other party with a serious face.

After Yan Ying sorted out her thoughts, she said: "Those who were rescued by me have actually been infected, but they all have one thing in common, that is, although they are infected, they can still control their thoughts most of the time, and most of them are still very aware of the fact that they are infected, and they are trying to resist." ”

"It seems that there is some kind of inexplicable knowledge that directly enlightens them, so they all know what is happening, so they are working hard to fight corruption, on the other hand, the strength of these infected people has increased by leaps and bounds in a short period of time, and many monks who were originally just in the Qi Control Realm have all reached the Dao Realm in this short period of time after being infected, and some even broke through to the True Human Realm. ”

"The most typical thing is that two cultivators who were originally True Human Realm One Heavy Heaven, after being infected, they were promoted to the Five Qi Realm in a short period of time, and they didn't cause any thunder tribulation!"

Fang Zhen's eyes widened more and more when he listened to Yan Ying's words, Rao is he was also quite surprised by the news, and only after the other party finished speaking did he show an incredible expression, and said: "There is actually such a situation, Fairy Ying, have you investigated any reasons or clues for this?"

Yan Ying nodded and said, "Yes, I also know very well that if we can know the reason why these people can control their own infection and greatly increase their strength in a short period of time, we should be able to add a huge weight to this doomsday war, but unfortunately, I am not good at this kind of research, and I no longer have the ability to connect to the Heavenly Dao after leaving the Necromantic Corpse Lake, so I only found a little clue!"

She was a little ashamed when she said this, and she looked like she was useless.

Because of her former identity and the fact that she indirectly killed hundreds of millions of living beings in Beizhou, she has always had a knot in this regard, and she has a deep sense of shame that she can't play a greater role.

Fang Zhen knew that the other party's situation could not be changed by saying a few words, but he still couldn't help but say: "It's okay to do this, what we are facing is something beyond everyone's imagination, no matter who it is, no matter who can do everything, Fairy Ying, let's talk about your discovery first, maybe that's a very important clue?"

Yan Ying sorted out her mood for a moment before continuing: "A common feature of all the survivors found so far is that these people were found near the node. ”

Without waiting for Fang Ji to ask, Yan Ying began to explain what the so-called node was.

The so-called node is actually the attack node that the Necromantic Corpse Lake used to corrupt the vine of salvation under the guidance of the Heavenly Dao of Destruction, and it can be regarded as the rune node of a huge magic circle.

If he uses this method, then the vine of salvation can be completely prevented by self-cutting and self-purification, even if it cannot be completely stopped, it can be extended indefinitely.

Therefore, the method used by the Heavenly Dao of the World Destroying was actually broadcast, constructing a large magic circle through countless key nodes, and then contaminating a large area in a very short period of time at the beginning of the infection.

This is how the Corrupt Giant Tree takes shape.

It's just that the Salvation Vine is not without resistance in this process, so in the end, the Heavenly Way of Destroying the World still didn't make the entire Middle Continent instantly become a completely corrupted place, which finally gave Fang Zhen and them a chance to breathe and a stage to fight.

After the Corrupt Tree grows, the nodes that were not used in the first place are useless, but what I didn't expect is that these nodes eventually become the key to sheltering the survivors.

Fang Zhen frowned, and said, "It seems that although the Salvation Vine has lost the ability to contact us due to corruption and infection, he is still trying his best to fight against the Heavenly Dao of Destruction and leave us with hope! ”

Jin Ting, who had been listening since just now, finally spoke at this time, and said: "Yes, this doesn't seem to be a simple infection situation changed by the Salvation Vine, if the Salvation Vine is really isolated from pollution, then these people should not be infected, but they are still infected, but the situation is not to the worst point, so is this a compromise that the Salvation Vine has to make due to its lack of strength, or is it some signal that he deliberately left us like this?"

In the case of not being able to directly contact the Salvation Vine, they can only speculate on any traces of the other party's actions, and the two situations mentioned by Jin Ting have completely different meanings.

Fang Zhen couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, so he could only sigh and say, "Let's put this first, Ying Xianzi, do you have any more detailed clues?"
