Chapter 145: Darkness Chen Cang

The sky gradually brightened, the rain stopped, and the first rays of light of the morning spilled through the thick clouds in the sky and the mist drifting in the dead waters.

In the forest, there was silence everywhere, but slowly, with the glimmer of light, gradually began to make noise.

In an unknown place, the first birdsong sounded, and with the light sprinkled between the branches and leaves, the whole forest seemed to wake up from the deep sleep of the night, far and near, and everywhere was the sound of early morning joy, welcoming the new day.

At this moment, in the forest, there is a mist as thin as a white veil wafting everywhere, and people walk in it, and their faces are faintly moist.

A faint blue light crossed the sky, causing the mist to roll and surge, within the light, Zhang Xiaofan was in front, Baguio was behind, his hands were wrapped around his waist, and the whole person was attached to his back, only to feel extremely relieved.

At their side, Yuhime wrapped herself in telekinesis and flew forward, not slowing down at all, although there was no light.

Due to the encounter with the Black Water Snake, they were separated from the large army, and their luck was not bad, they did not lose their way, and successfully broke out of the miasma wall.

At that time, the team of righteous monks happened to be in the path of the Black Water Snake, and the unlucky one was hit by the Black Water Snake, and the protective aura was broken on the spot, and he was poisoned by the miasma, and he didn't even have a chance to drink the antidote.

Although some of them were not hit, they also lost their way in the miasma wall after a few turns because they avoided the Black Water Snake.

Whether it's going forward into Uchizawa or flying backwards back into Uizawa, or even if the angle is slightly tilted, as long as you can fly out, it's fine.

The most feared thing is the kind that hits sideways, and the direction of travel is to fly along the miasma wall, then it is dangerous.

The width of this miasma wall is already very terrifying, and the horizontal length is not known how much, if you fly along, maybe you can't fly out when your spiritual power is exhausted, and you can only die in this miasma wall in the end.

Zhang Xiaofan and the three of them were almost bumped into, but when they flashed, Youji and Baguio were both nostalgic, firmly locked in each other's positions, and they were not separated.

At that time, they were in the miasma wall, the situation was unknown, everyone was flustered, and they didn't care about others, so they all wanted to fly out first, and then they were separated from the others.

They searched near the miasma wall for a while, but they didn't meet the same sect or fellow sects, but instead met some people from the Demon Dao Loose Cultivators or small sects, and after a few battles, they also killed more than a dozen people in the Demon Dao.

In the end, when a large number of people in the demon path came to kill, they had to leave the scene first, and when the vision appeared in the evening, they didn't care about anything, and flew straight in the direction where the vision came.

The vision was so loud that the others must have seen it, and everyone would converge there, and they would naturally converge there.

"It's here, it should be the front." Yuhime, who was flying beside the two of them, suddenly said lightly.

Baguio's telekinesis did not extend as far as Youji, and when she heard this, she asked curiously, "Aunt You, what did you see?" ”

Yuhime's eyes, which had rarely had mood swings, actually showed a look of surprise, "A tree, a ...... Incredibly large trees. ”

After a few words, the distance of dozens of zhang had been crossed, and the giant tree in Youji's mouth appeared in front of Zhang Xiaofan.

It was like a lightning bolt in the silence, and with a roar, the whole forest trembled, and what appeared in front of him was indeed a giant tree beyond imagination.

At this time, the three of them were like ants, and they seemed insignificant in front of this giant tree.

What would it be like for a giant tree that can reach a height of six feet even to its roots? Zhang Xiaofan didn't know, he only knew that it seemed that the Yuqing Hall was only three or four zhang high, and the amount of wood from this tree root was enough to build several Yuqing Palaces.

Baguio said with some excitement: "Xiaofan, let's fly up and take a good look at this tree." ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Xiaofan collected his thoughts, and the cyan light emitted by the soul devouring under his feet suddenly lit up, and led them straight up, and Youji followed closely.

The wind was blowing, and it seemed a little sharp because of the rapid rise speed, and in this mist, it was a bit like yesterday in the wall of miasma, but after all, it was different, first, this fog was not poisonous, and second, it was also far away.

It's just that this layer of fog actually condensed to a very high place, flew up along the incredible huge tree in front of him, and flew straight to the meal time, this fog has not yet dissipated, I really doubt that it will be connected with the clouds in the sky like this.

At the same time, several people also noticed that the trunk of the giant tree in front of them was gradually changing.

Below, of course, was the base of the giant tree, which was unimaginably thick, and above the tree, there was nothing but rough bark.

But after flying for a long time, branches began to gradually appear on the top of the giant tree, and the most striking thing was a strange plant that began to appear from just now, wrapped around the trunk and resembling a vine.

This plant is criss-crossed, the leaves are huge, but at the top of the branches and leaves are blooming colorful flowers, some red and yellow, some orange and purple, it is very beautiful, and the wind wafts in, as if there is a faint fragrance of flowers.

But until this moment, they still can't fully see how thick the trunk of this giant tree is, the wonder of creation is really incredible, the strange tree in front of them, I am afraid that it is really tens of millions of years old, it is so huge.

"Snort"

There was a sharp sound that broke through the air, and the dark blue light flashed, rushing out of the mist, and the mist under his feet also rolled upwards with the figures of several people, and then fell gently, as if the waves had subsided.

The three of them finally broke out of this fog, and the world suddenly opened up.

The sky above his head was like a wash, and there were no clouds, but under his feet was a white mist, wrapped around the giant tree in front of him, and the closer he got to the giant tree, the thicker the fog became.

At this moment, the three of them were already high in the sky, and they finally saw the giant tree in front of them.

Even at such a high height, the trunk of this giant tree in front of it was still a hundred feet thick, and when you think of the distance you flew from the ground to the present day, it was not a tree in front of you, but a towering mountain.

However, it is clearly a tree.

And it still stretched upward, and the huge trunk stretched straight up to the sky except for the equally shocking thick branches.

Baguio said stammered: "I'm afraid this tree is taller than Qingyun Mountain!" ”

Zhang Xiaofan said affirmatively: "Absolutely, when I flew from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain, it didn't take me so long, let's see how tall this tree is." ”

The three of them went up again, and the higher they flew, the trunk of the giant tree gradually shrank, and by the time, it had become only a few tens of zhang in size.

Despite this, it is still shocking, after all, a tree with a diameter of more than 100 meters may only exist in the world of Xianxia mythology.

At this moment, the surroundings of the trunk began to become foggy again, but it was no longer fog, but clouds, and they were already in the clouds.

If they understand science, they will understand that they are about to fly out of the troposphere and reach the stratosphere, which is generally the flight altitude of an airliner, and ordinary people cannot breathe at this altitude.

Cultivators are different, as long as there is aura, there is no problem of lack of oxygen, because reiki is enough to replace oxygen.

Just like in the water, as long as you continue to use your spiritual power to breathe internally, it will not be a problem to hold it for a few hours, if it weren't for this, Lu Xueqi would have died long ago when she was in the Ruthless Sea.

After flying upwards for a few more moments, the three of them finally stopped ascending, because they had reached the top.

In front of them, the trunk of the tree, which had been originally straight, suddenly split into two huge branches, stretching out to the left and right, and the tree as a whole was a huge T-shape.

The three of them settled at the fork of this giant tree, saying that it was a fork, but in fact, with the huge size of this giant tree, it was not too crowded for dozens of people to stand here.

The two branches of the bifurcation, similar in size, almost dozens of zhang thick, volleyed across the air, like two giant dragons leaping horizontally in the air.

From here, the foliage gradually grew, and the extension distance was quite long, and with clouds shrouding it, it was impossible to see the edge on either side of this fork.

"Which way shall we go?" Baguio looked left and right and asked Zhang Xiaofan.

Zhang Xiaofan looked at Youji, and saw that she didn't mean to express her opinion, so he said: "It's all the same, no accident, the strange treasure should be on this tree, let's come one by one, let's explore the left first!" ”

"Okay."

Since they had made a decision, the three of them did not hesitate and flew along the horizontal branch on the left, and not long after the three of them flew away, two white figures that were almost integrated with the white clouds walked out from the horizontal branch on the right, but who were they Yang Yifei and Xiaobai?

Xiaobai looked at Zhang Xiaofan and the others who were not in the clouds on the left, and said, "They are all here, what should we do?" Do you want to meet them? ”

Yang Yifei shook his head and said, "It's best not to, it's estimated that others will arrive in a while, it's best for us not to show up in front of them, and quietly take away the elixir and the Heavenly Emperor Immortal Stone." ”

Xiao Bai frowned and said: "But that day, the Emperor's Treasury couldn't even penetrate the telekinesis, so it couldn't be directly teleported in, and when it was opened, we couldn't avoid them after all if we wanted to enter." ”

Yang Yifei said with a smile: "Who said that we can't avoid it, when the treasure house is opened, we will first lurk in a position of more than 100 zhang and hide in the clouds." ”

"Once the door of the treasure house is opened, the telekinesis should be able to penetrate it, and when the time comes, we will teleport directly into the treasure house, except for Baguio and Youji, anyone else wants to come in, and I will blast him out."

Xiaobai looked at him funny and said, "But your methods are too obvious, anyone will know that it is you at a glance, won't this still be exposed?" ”

Yang Yifei grinned, gently pinched her tender pretty face, and said, "Don't worry!" No one can see that there are many skills for a husband! ”

"You think all you know is all you have for your husband? Forgot what did you say to your husband at the Xuanhuo Altar back then? ”

Xiaobai tilted his head and thought about it, and suddenly smiled dumbly, "You mean...... Treasure Boy? ”

Yang Yifei smiled smugly, put his hands on his back, and raised his head and said: "Yes, the treasure boy is me, I am the treasure boy Yang Yifei." ”

"Just when you think you know me well enough, you'll soon find out that you don't know enough, dig deep! My little woman. ”

Yang Yifei has the inheritance of the five major professions of darkness, and he has only shown the skills of magicians, necromancers, and paladins, as well as the skills of Amazon and assassins that have not yet been shown in this world.

He's never going to show all his skills and cards, that's foolishness, and now it's a good idea, isn't it?

Hearing this, Xiaobai shook his head weakly, and sighed: "How thick does it take to make a man who can even run all over the mountain still call himself a boy?" ”

Yang Yifei shook his head and said with a smile: "No, you don't understand, men will only grow old, but they will not grow up, and a man will always be a child in his bones." ”

Xiaobai: "......"

……

But it was said that Zhang Xiaofan and the three of them flew to the left, and this flight was a long time, but they saw that although it was in the sky, above the clouds, there were still countless huge leaves on the huge branches of this giant tree, which were extremely luxuriant.

But for some reason, I didn't see any fruit and flowers, but the nameless vines that had been wrapping around the giant tree from the trunk below, blooming and spreading.

As we walked forward, the branches on this side gradually became smaller, but the vines became thicker and thicker, and the flowers that bloomed more and more, until they were almost everywhere, dizzying, and the air was filled with an inexplicable fragrance.

Suddenly, the light that had been speeding was suddenly in mid-air, stopping so urgently, there was a faint sharp sound, Baguio's body suddenly pressed forward with inertia, squeezing on Zhang Xiaofan's back, making the two soft flesh in front of his chest a little painful.

"What's wrong?"

Baguio stretched out his head from Zhang Xiaofan's shoulder, and saw that the trunk of the tree in front of him was suddenly completely covered by countless vines, and the flowers were competing with each other, like a sea of flowers from top to bottom, condensing into a wall.

And in the sea of flowers, there stands a stone gate, five zhang high, three zhang wide, rigidly embedded in the trunk of the tree that bends upward.

The surroundings were flooded with countless vines and flowers, leaving only a thick boulder in the middle, on which were engraved the four big characters of the ancient seal - the treasure house of the Emperor of Heaven.

At this time, in front of the stone gate, in the sea of flowers, there was already a white figure standing there quietly.

It seemed that she also heard the movement behind her, and the woman in white slowly turned around, and countless beautiful flowers were under the blue sky, and suddenly laughed together, lining her peerless face, and her pride bloomed.

In the sea of flowers, she is the brightest and most vivid color.

Zhang Xiaofan was stunned, then showed an indifferent smile, and greeted: "Senior Sister Lu, you have arrived early, are you alone?" ”

The wind blew, countless flowers shook together, Lu Xueqi stood expressionlessly in the sea of flowers, glanced at Zhang Xiaofan and Baguio behind him, and said lightly: "Just me." ”

Immediately, she owed a debt to Youji who fell to the ground, and said, "Senior." ”

Youji nodded slightly to her, and then walked to the stone gate to check, Lu Xueqi said: "The junior has already checked, this stone door has no mechanism at all, I don't know how to open it." ”

Zhang Xiaofan and Baguio also fell into the sea of flowers, and looked around, the stone gate looked complete, and the surroundings were also clear at a glance, and there was nothing like a mechanism at all.

Baguio and Yuhime both tried with their telekinesis, and they couldn't pass through the stone gate at all, but it wasn't that there wasn't the slightest gap, but there was a strange power that blocked their telekinesis.

Baguio said helplessly: "It seems that I can only wait for the stone gate to open on its own, but I don't know how long I will have to wait." ”

Zhang Xiaofan frowned and said: "If that's the case, then it's not good, the vision movement last night was so big, I'm afraid that the demon sect demons have also discovered the vision here, or it won't be long before it comes." ”

Baguio said: "Now we can only hope that Senior Brother Xiao and they arrived first, otherwise we can only retreat first for the time being." ”

"Whew......"

Zhang Xiaofan was nodding to himself, about to say something, only to hear a faint roar suddenly in the distance, the sound came from the depths of the fog under their feet, it seemed to be far away, and it sounded like the roar of some beast.

After a while, several people felt at the same time that the real towering tree under their feet suddenly came from the trunk of the slight trembling.

Several people's faces changed slightly at the same time, this strange tree is unbelievably big, compared to ordinary mountain ranges, not to say that it is shaking this tree, even thinking about shaking it is incredible.

The cultivation of these people present is not weak, how can the movement under their feet be hidden from them? It was clear that in the fog under his feet, there was a sudden great change, and I don't know what kind of huge force could shake this tree.

As soon as they thought of this, several people were all quick to react, and they all thought that this change was probably related to the Heavenly Emperor's treasure house in front of them.

It was also at this time that the first rays of sunlight on the horizon shone obliquely and sprinkled on the sea of flowers about three feet in front of the stone gate.

"Whew......"

After a while, a roar was so loud and loud that it was so fierce and loud that the other three people in the field, except for Yuhime, felt slightly dizzy, and almost at the same time, the trunk of the tree under his feet suddenly shook violently.

It was as if the earth, which had been thick, suddenly trembled violently, and it felt like an earthquake.

Without waiting for Zhang Xiaofan and Lu Xueqi to react, You Ji and Baguio suddenly looked in the direction of the trunk.

The next moment, a shadowy figure suddenly flew out of the clouds, and in a blink of an eye, it was close, and Zhang Xiaofan and the others looked at it, and their faces were happy.

"Senior Brother Xiao, Senior Brother, Senior Sister-in-law, Sixth Senior Brother, Senior Brother Zeng, Jing Yu...... It's you, it turns out that you haven't been separated! ”

The people who came were none other than the Qingyunmen, and there were not less than ten of them, and there were twenty or thirty righteous path monks behind them, but their faces were a little solemn.

Xiao Yicai and the others were greatly relieved to see that Zhang Xiaofan and the others were safe and sound, and Song Daren stepped forward to pat Zhang Xiaofan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Senior brother, it's great that you are okay." ”

They met near the giant tree, and if they hadn't had a common destination, they wouldn't have come together so easily!

Zhang Xiaofan looked behind them and said in surprise: "Why are there only a few people?" What about the others? ”

Xiao Yicai smiled bitterly and said, "They were separated in that miasma wall, and there are only so many people converging at present, I hope they don't encounter the Demon Sect army!" ”

"We met once before, but fortunately we saw the opportunity early and broke away in time, so we were not surrounded by the other party."

Zhang Xiaofan looked at everyone puzzled: "Why are your faces so ugly?" Is something wrong? ”

Zeng Shushu smiled bitterly: "We met ...... not far from under the tree."

Before he finished speaking, the huge tree trunk under his feet trembled violently again, this time the tremor was much stronger than the time not long ago, everyone clearly saw the tree trunk shaking in the air, everyone couldn't stand still, and staggered a few steps.

"Whew......"

At the same time, in the depths of the fog below, suddenly there was a heaven-shattering roar again, like a vicious beast roaring wildly to the sky, and the invisible sound turned into a raging wind, surging from the bottom to the top, blowing everyone's clothes into a hunting sound.

And in the roar, there was also a strange and inexplicable "hissing" sound, like a poisonous snake crawling, and like the sound of a rope rubbing, echoing between heaven and earth, louder and closer.

Zeng Shushu lost his voice and said: "Oh no, it's that beast, it actually came up." ”

Everyone was shocked, and Zhang Xiaofan asked anxiously, "Senior Brother Zeng, what is it?" ”

Zeng Shushu said bitterly: "Do you still remember the fierce beast you encountered under the Ten Thousand Bat Ancient Cave ten years ago? ”

Zhang Xiaofan was shocked, and glanced at Baguio, they both saw the horror in each other's eyes, and Lu Xueqi also subconsciously looked at Zhang Xiaofan.

Zhang Xiaofan and Baguio exclaimed in unison: "Black Water Snake? ”

Just as the two of them spoke, in the clear sky, the direction where the huge branches extended, where there was still a little cloud, suddenly seemed to burn two huge flames, faint green flames.

In the midst of the flames, there were two slender and erect deep pupils, shining with an icy light, and the fishy smell in the air suddenly became so big that I wanted to vomit when I smelled it.

The trunk of the tree trembled even more, and even this incredible towering tree seemed to tremble under the huge body of the Black Water Snake.

It seems to be an evil beast from ancient times, the Black Water Snake wraps its huge snake body around the trunk of the tree, and everywhere it passes, the branches and leaves are messy, and those vines and flowers are withered and broken.

It shook its head and tail as it walked forward, and the humans in front of it looked like ants in its eyes, not worth mentioning.

"When we were down there just now, we suddenly met this terrible beast, and we can only run for this little way."

"But at that time, it didn't seem to care about us, it was just looking for something, and it left quickly, but I didn't expect it to ...... It actually climbed up. ”

Zeng Shushu looked at the huge stone gate and said with an ugly face: "Not surprisingly, this beast is only here for the things in the Heavenly Emperor's treasure house." ”

Watching the Black Water Snake continue to advance, the huge black body weighed down the tree trunk and trembled, almost making people worry about whether the tree trunk would be crushed by it.

And in mid-air, the huge snake head, under the fangs, the bright red bifurcated tongue kept expanding and contracting in the air, and roared softly in the direction of the Heavenly Emperor's treasure house, as if it was very excited.

At this moment, everyone could already see that the purpose of this giant beast was indeed the things in the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury behind them.

Xiao Yicai said astringently: "This Black Water Snake is an ancient demonic beast, which can be defeated by non-human beings, we are definitely not its opponents, so don't hold on, let's withdraw first!" ”

Zeng Shushu's eyes flashed, and he said in a low voice: "The Heavenly Emperor's treasure house is guarded by the Yellow Bird, and the Black Water Snake is coming, the Yellow Bird will come, we will retreat first, and when the Yellow Bird arrives to subdue this beast, we will make a plan." ”

"Okay."

Everyone had no opinion, and immediately set up magic weapons, jumped out of the tree, and soon disappeared into the clouds.

Seeing that those ants left on their own, the black water snake showed a touch of smugness in its cold vertical pupils, and he didn't pay attention to it anymore.

On the other side of the clouds, only a hundred zhang away from the Heavenly Emperor's Treasure Vault, Yang Yifei and Xiao Bai were wrapped in telekinesis, silently, and even the Black Water Snake did not notice them.

Seeing Zhang Xiaofan and the others leaving, Yang Yifei showed a little smile on his face, very good, because Zhang Xiaofan and Lu Xueqi were no longer as hostile as the original plot, so they didn't hesitate and took the initiative to avoid the Black Water Snake, which was simply good, saving him a lot of effort.

Soon after the group left, the sunlight in the sky shone on the top horizontal of the word "sky" in the four-character ancient seal of the "Heavenly Emperor's Treasure House".

"Boom"

With a roar, under the sunlight, the huge stone door, which was originally complete, suddenly cracked a gap in the middle, and then slowly moved to the side.

The dazzling golden light burst out from that gap, and even in the sun, it was so brilliant that even the rising sun in the sky seemed to become dim at this moment.

It was as if something was roaring in the Heavenly Emperor's treasury and roaring in the golden light.

And at the moment when the division door opened, Yang Yifei's eyes flashed, and his mental power probed in, he looked at Xiaobai, saw that she also nodded, and said in a low voice: "Go." ”

The figures of the two suddenly disappeared in place, and when they reappeared, they were already in a strange place.
