28. Gray and white forest

The gray and white forest is a vast area of primeval forest.

There is some kind of unknown giant tree growing here, and the body of these giant trees requires nearly twenty people to hug each other. The body of the giant tree was as hard as dark iron, and it was difficult for ordinary magic weapons to leave any traces on it, let alone spiritual weapons and magic weapons. Because of this, no one has the idea of hitting these giant trees at all - it's not that they don't want to, but that resources that can't be harvested are not called resources at all.

The canopy of the giant trees is huge, each of which can shade a radius of more than ten meters, and the closer you get to the tree, the more you will feel a chill. And the Gray Soul Fruit that Ye Kong wanted grew at the root of this giant tree.

Yes, at the roots, not on the trees.

No one knows exactly what the growth is, but the gray fruit, which resembles an apple, can only be excavated from the roots of the gray tree. As for the White Spirit Flower, it is a kind of spirit grass that only grows in the area where the Yin Qi of the Gray and White Forest is heavier, and this spirit grass is also a boundary marker in the edge area and the outer area of the Gray and White Forest.

The inhabitants of Sky Mountain Castle divide the gray and white forest into five areas.

i.e. marginal area, peripheral area, deep belly area, danger area, forbidden area.

Beyond the area where the White Spirit Flower grows is the official outlying area of the Gray and White Forest, and from here on, you will encounter all kinds of demon beasts. However, the strength of these demon beasts is generally not high, probably equivalent to the level between the fifth and sixth layers of human monks entering the Xuan Xuan and the second and third layers of the Xuan, basically as long as it is not too bad luck, at the junction of the edge area and the peripheral area of the gray and white forest, it is not possible to encounter too strong demon beasts.

Above the deep belly area, it was an adventure area that only the cultivators of the Three Realms and even the Circle Realm would enter. Naturally, there are more precious spiritual plants growing in this area, but the danger is also greatly increased, and it is said that there are also demon beasts equivalent to the strength of the third or fourth layer of human monks breaking through the realm.

The person the Xu family wanted to pursue was only in the realm of the sixth or seventh layer of Xuan, so the other party would definitely not dare to go too deep into the gray forest.

After passing through the Gray Gate Road, under the leadership of Xu Pocheng, Ye Kong and the three of them marched quickly.

Just looking at the back of Xu Pocheng leading the way in front of him, Ye Kong knew that the Xu family must have used some special method, so he was able to be so sure of the traces of those people in the Luo family. Otherwise, it would not be easier to find a few hidden people in such a vast gray forest than it would be in Empty Mountain City.

Grey forests are not a safe area.

In the Ten Thousand Bamboo Forest, Ye Kong dared to run at full speed without stopping, but here in the Gray and White Forest, he didn't dare to do so.

Because no one knows when a demon beast will suddenly run out.

In this case, the high concentration of attention is undoubtedly an aggravated mental consumption for Ye Kong and others. Therefore, two hours after entering the gray and white forest, Ye Kong and the others had to temporarily stop and rest.

Along the way, because he was in a hurry, Ye Kong naturally didn't have time to find the materials he wanted.

However, if Xu Pocheng decided to rest in place, then Ye Kong would have time to look for the Gray Soul Fruit around. But it's a pity that after walking around, Ye Kong didn't even find a gray soul fruit that had begun to decay, but instead saw two gray soul fruits that were in the flowering stage.

If the other monks were here, they would definitely be very happy, because two Gray Soul Fruits were almost worth one Xuanyuan Pill. But for Ye Kong, he was very disappointed, because what he wanted was not this kind of gray soul fruit that was in the ripening stage at all, but the gray soul fruit that had already passed the fruiting period and was ripe, and even began to rot.

"What? Didn't find what you were looking for? Looking at Ye Kong, who came back with a dejected face, Xu Pocheng said with a smile, "Ripe Grey Soul Fruit is not so easy to find, especially in this era, the Grey Soul Fruit has long been collected since it was discovered by someone. ”

Ye Kong smiled and didn't speak.

Xu Pocheng thought that Ye Kong was just helpless, so he didn't continue to dwell on this topic, and instead said: "We are getting closer and closer to the goal, if the other party doesn't make any moves, then we will contact the other party in about two hours at most, and the next is the real danger, so we can't take it lightly." ”

"You seem to know each other's whereabouts very well?" Ye Kong was a little curious, "If that's the case, why didn't you capture them when they were still in Empty Mountain City at the beginning?" ”

"Not really." Xu Pocheng shook his head, "This time, our Xu family paid a great price to invite the Shangyuan Dao people of Tianlong Mountain to use the divination, and I rushed back overnight last night to send the divination." …… It's a pity that once opened, you must find the target within twelve hours, otherwise it will be useless. ”

Ye Kong raised his eyebrows and did not answer.

Of course he knew about it.

Originally, in the game, this thing can probably be regarded as a RMB prop, and its function is only one: lock the real-time location of an item, and report the specific location of the target item to the user every once in a while. Depending on the amount of RMB, the duration of the sign varies from two hours to twelve hours. Of course, the conditions of use are also limited, so the item to be locked must be owned by you, otherwise the divination will not be able to divinate and lock.

Originally, Ye Kong didn't care about what the Xu family wanted to retrieve, but he didn't expect it to reach the point of using divination, which made him a little curious.

In the game, the cost of this item is not low, let alone the highest level of twelve hours.

With this curiosity, the three of them rested for a while before continuing on their way.

I don't know whether to say that Ye Kong and the others are lucky, or whether to say that the other party is unlucky.

After about an hour, the two sides met on either side of a stream.

At this moment, whether it was Xu Pocheng or the Luo family disciples on the other side, they were all slightly confused.

The other party obviously knew about such a thing, and in order to prevent the people of the Xu family from asking for divination to calculate their location, so even if they were hidden in the gray and white forest, they were always in a state of movement, which was also the reason why Xu Pocheng said at the beginning, "If the other party does not make any moves". It's just that I didn't expect that the two sides would move in the same direction so coincidentally, and they ended up running into each other across a stream by accident.

After the two sides were stunned for a moment, Xu Pocheng took the lead in reacting, staring at a young man opposite him, and shouted hatefully: "Luo Yuan! ”

There are a total of seven people in the Luo family, a few more than Xu Pocheng estimated before, but it is about the same number as Xu Cheng said at the beginning. Ye Kong glanced at it roughly, and saw that except for the leader who was the strength of the seventh layer of the Xuan Xuan, the other few people were all at the level of the fifth and sixth layers of the Xuan Xuan, and this strength happened to be the strength that Ye Kong could handle, but with his current physical fitness ability, he could only deal with two or three people at most.

Thinking of this, Ye Kong glanced at Xu Qianjun, but saw that the other party was also looking at him, with a strong battle intent in his eyes.

Ye Kong was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.

This morning, Xu Qianjun has been very silent, not even saying a word. Ye Kong thought that something was wrong with the other party, he was still an unruly and arrogant teenager yesterday, and suddenly he became a good baby who didn't talk much, and he was waiting to challenge himself here.

"Three for one?" Ye Kong chuckled, feeling that although the little kid in front of him was a little arrogant, his heart was still not bad in the end, "Whoever solves it first wins?" ”

"Good!" Xu Qianjun, who had been silent for a morning, finally said in a deep voice, his words full of strong fighting spirit.

Xu Qianjun answered, ignored it, jumped across the stream with an arrow, and rushed straight to the seven people opposite.

Xu Pocheng saw his younger brother's actions, his face also changed slightly, and he immediately didn't care about anything, so he had to follow immediately.

"Stupid!" Luo Yuan saw Xu Qianjun coming out of the formation, and his dignified expression, which had suddenly encountered Xu Pocheng, actually showed a little joy, and immediately shouted, "Tie the small Seven Star Array!" ”

Little Seven Star Array?

Ye Kong frowned slightly, he had never heard of this formation.

Jiao Anluo's family was able to gain a foothold in Jiao'an Ling, completely relying on the two sets of battle formations handed down by their ancestors, in addition to their mental methods and martial arts, compared to Jiao'an's other noble clans, they all belonged to the bottom one. Not to mention the other noble clans with the same name, even the famous families who are famous for their martial arts can almost be said to win when they fight alone with the disciples of the Luo family, not to mention the martial arts of the Jiao'an Xu family's "Seven Capture and Kill Fists", which ranks first among the four major clans in Jiao'an.

However, the two most famous battle formations of the Luo family are the three-way combined attack and the four-way attack.

What the hell is this little Seven Star Array?

The Star Array, the Big Dipper Seven Star Array, the Seven Words Array, and the Seven Killing Array, Ye Kong knew it very clearly, but the Little Seven Star Array ......

At the moment when Ye Kong hesitated slightly, Xu Qianjun had already rushed into the enemy formation, and then ......

just fell into the encirclement of the Luo family's battle array.

Ye Kong's facial muscles twitched a few times, he knew that Xu Qianjun had no actual combat experience, and he was a little complacent. But he didn't expect that this guy would be brainless to this extent, knowing that the Luo family was the best at the way of battle formation and combined attack, he actually dared to break away from the formation and rush into the enemy formation alone.

"A thousand troops!" Xu Pocheng was a little anxious, but at this time, Luo Yuan was already standing in front of the head of the formation, facing Xu Pocheng.

When he was in the Zhao family before, Ye Kong also asked Zhao Yu about the identity of this Luo Yuan.

Luo Yuan, Xu Pocheng, and Xu Qianjun are one of the five heroes of Jiao'an, he is a disciple of the Luo family's generation who has high hopes, not only in the way of the battle formation, but also comparable to the ancestor of the founding clan, and even in the martial arts, he also showed extremely high natural ability. If it weren't for the Xu family's Xu Pocheng, Luo Yuan would be the well-deserved leader of Jiao An's generation of young people.

But even if Xu Pocheng was there, it was only to disperse part of Luo Yuan's aura, but it couldn't suppress him.

Of course, in terms of fighting alone, Luo Yuan is still not Xu Pocheng's opponent. This is a flaw in the Luo family's martial arts, not Luo Yuan's own reason.

But in the current situation, Luo Yuan is not fighting alone.

Although he was facing Xu Pocheng head-on who was trying to save his younger brother with his strength, in fact, no matter how Xu Pocheng attacked, he needed to face more than three Luo family children at the same time. If it was only three disciples of the Luo family who had entered the Xuan Second Realm, then Xu Pocheng would not care too much, but among the people he needed to face, there would always be a Luo Yuan whose strength was almost not inferior to Xu Pocheng, which made Xu Pocheng unable to break the formation with his strength at all.

"Brother Tiger!" Xu Pocheng confronted the other party several times in a short period of time, but each time he couldn't break through the other party's blockade at all, at this time, when he saw that Ye Kong was still just standing next to him, he couldn't help but say urgently, "Brother Tiger!" What are you waiting for! ”

Luo Yuan's previous attention was on Xu Pocheng, although he saw three people coming from Xu Pocheng's side, but because of Xu Qianjun's headless self-throwing net, he didn't pay attention to who the person standing next to Xu Qianjun was. At this moment, Xu Pocheng shouted like this, and the corner of his eye swept Ye Kong, and his face couldn't help but change slightly: "Tai'an Crazy Tiger? ”

Hearing Luo Yuan's shout, as well as the slight commotion of several other members of the Luo family, Ye Kong was a little puzzled: Is this Tai'an Mad Tiger's name so loud? Why is it that everyone hears this name as if they have seen a ghost?
