Chapter 261: Lightning Strikes Wood
"Xiao Jiu, didn't you sense anything abnormal? Brother Qi reminded me again and again, saying that the demon beast is extremely sensitive to the impending disaster, and the abnormal reaction of the demon beast when the volcano erupts or the earth dragon turns over is the most obvious warning sign. Wu Xing shook his head, cheered up, glanced at Xiao Jian who was flying happily beside him, and asked directly.
"Master, Xiao Jian didn't sense anything abnormal. Xiao Jian replied, "Even if a volcano erupts or the earth dragon rolls over, we can quickly evacuate this place through the spirit vortex, and my racial talent plus those four bugs are enough to support us to leave here." So, no need to worry about the hosts!"
Perhaps recalling his first experience of walking through the spirit vortex, Wu Xing shuddered a little, subconsciously shook his head, changed the topic, and asked: "Xiao Zhu, how do you recognize the flowers on the other side? Is there a flower on the other side in the treasury of the mountain gate 'seventy-two'? Well, it is estimated that no, otherwise someone may directly loot the treasury of the mountain gate 'seventy-two', which will save us a lot of trouble, and there is no need to search for the other side flower in the Great Rift Valley." ”
Xiao Jian replied: "Master, I haven't seen the flowers on the other side with my own eyes, and all I know is what the previous master told me." In addition to a plausible story, the former owner also said something about the characteristics of the growing environment of the flowers on the other side, and those characteristics are unique, and Xiao Yu should not admit it!"
Wu Xing is the master, the previous one is the hostess, and the previous one is only the messenger of the mountain gate "seventy-two".
“...... The flowers on the other side bloom for a thousand years and fall for a thousand years, and the flowers and leaves will never meet......"
“...... Legend has it that a long, long time ago, the edge of a certain town was filled with a large expanse of flowers from the other side, and its fragrance had a magical power that reminded people of their past lives. There are two goblins guarding the flowers on the other side, one is the flower demon and the other is the leaf demon. The flower demon and the leaf demon have guarded the flowers on the other side for thousands of years, but they have never met each other, because when they bloom, there are no leaves, and when there are leaves, there are no flowers......"
“...... The gods blamed him, and Manju and Sawa were thrown into reincarnation and cursed to never be together......"
“...... On the way to the other side, the first saint passed by the Lechuan River in the underworld...... I found that the fiery red flowers had turned pure white, and called it the flower of the other side......"
“...... Another sage came to the Lethe River, took out a seed and threw it into the river, and a flower that was more red than the previous one grew out of the water......"
The story retold by Xiao Jian was a little messy, and Wu Xing silently extracted the part of it that might imply key information: "Open for a thousand years, fall for a thousand years, your grandmother's, I'm afraid this is another living 'Chitose' in addition to the spinning turtle...... When it blooms, there are no leaves, which should refer to the order of flowering...... Flowers and leaves can never be mixed...... One is white, the other is red, well, is there still a seed? Is there a seed before the harvest or after it.......
"It should not be unintentional for the soul envoy of the Mountain Gate 'Seventy-Two' to deliberately tell such a story to the soul. Wu Xing turned his head to look in the direction of the magma, then looked at the underground river on the other side, and muttered: "If I am on the 'other side' now, can it be said that the underground river next to it is the so-called 'Lechuan River'? ”
"For example, the lighthouse, if it is not promoted to the third grade, is just a poison that can quickly pass between the spirit vortices through the 'small star shift'. The spiritual vortex that can travel between the Starfall Continent and the spirit realm, and the unique energy in the process of opening and closing the spiritual vortex is the root of Winning Fish's cultivation...... Therefore, the mirror of the spirit world has become the sea after winning the fish and advancing to the third grade, swimming freely and freely. From the seaport at the mouth of the eastern part of the Great Rift Valley, the Winning Fish group began their "migration" journey upstream, and the marginal note on the portrait of the Winning Fish in the Classic of Mountains and Seas is: "The Winning Fish, the body of the fish and the wings of the bird...... Seeing it, the big water ......'"
"Another example is the soul detaining demon beast, which originally only 'detained the soul' through the fine dust powder of the 'soul attraction', and only after advancing to the third rank did it really have the ability to hook the soul and capture the soul. There is no record of the Soul Detention Demon Beast in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" at all, perhaps it shows that the beast tamers who followed the Emperor through the Ages to conquer the Great Rift Valley only began to contact, understand and tame the Soul Detention Demon Beast after entering the Great Rift Valley, which led to the later 'Soul Detention Messenger'. The most widely circulated legend on the Starfall Continent is a ghost, according to legend, its appearance is no different from ordinary people, often two people go in and out together, and they like to wear purple clothes. The ability of the soul detaining demon beast to hook the soul after being promoted to the third rank can extract the spirituality from the soul of the other party, which is incredible. The dependence of the Soul Arrest Demon Beast on the Great Rift Valley Emissary makes the image of the legendary Soul Detention Ghost coincide with the combination of the Envoy and the Soul Detention Demon Beast. ”
"Master, that should be the other side of the flower! It is basically the same as the environment and scene described by the previous master about the growth of the other side flower. After Xiao Jian finished speaking, he walked directly through the spirit vortex to the front. The "former master" it refers to naturally refers to the messenger of the "seventy-two" of the mountain gate.
Xiao Jian is a strange state close to the soul and exists, with the stabilization of the realm after it has advanced to the third rank, Wu Xing, as the master, can't even confirm the position of Xiao Jian in the sensing circle, unless it shows its true face with a blue face and fangs.
However, according to Xiao Jiu, the appearance of the blue-faced fangs was actually when he used the Soul Hooking Race talent, and at this time, Xiao Jian was extremely powerful and at the same time extremely vulnerable.
The premise of the Soul Hooking Race Talent is that Xiao Jian is stronger than the other party's spirituality, and this strength may be reflected in the difference in the grades of the two sides, or it may be that one of them is in a weak period.
However, if the spiritual connection is forcibly interrupted in the process of seducing the soul, both sides of the spiritual connection will be subjected to extremely terrifying backlash! This is the weakness of the small detention.
Therefore, Xiao Jian must need a strong backer, so that it has no worries, and does its best to enchant the soul! This is also the reason why the envoys in the Great Rift Valley are all above the level of the Star Venerable. Like Wu Xing, who has grown up with the Soul Detention Demon Beast since the Star Monarch and the Star Envoy, among the various coincidences, it can be said that it is unique, at least unprecedented!
Even the teahouse storyteller's strange words would not dare to write like this!
If it weren't for the fact that the fourth-grade winning fish fell into a weak period after being promoted to the third grade, Xiao Jian said frankly that he might need to wait for Wu Xing to be promoted to Xingzun before he could be promoted to the third grade after hunting high-grade demon beasts and sucking blood marrow. The lighthouse's "Little Star Shift" racial talent before advancing to the third rank is exactly one of the racial talents that Xiao Jian needs after advancing to the third rank. It can be said that Xiao Jian completed his own promotion by fusing the blood marrow of the fourth grade to win the fish and advance to the third grade. Of course, the blood marrow of other high-grade demon beasts can also help the soul detaining demon beast complete this leap of the fish and dragon gate, but in addition to the racial talent of seducing souls, Xiao Jian may still exist in the form of a demon beast in the Starfall Continent, rather than the current form of a demon beast.
Demon beasts hunt each other, devour, fuse crystal nuclei, or like Xiao Jian to devour blood marrow to advance, in fact, the principle is the same: just like splicing a piece of ornamentation, the ultimate goal is a complete ornament. Generally speaking, the more pieces of the ornament, the stronger the final ornament. However, on top of that, there is a higher standard, and that is the compatibility between the ornaments: the best is the best!
Some of the ornaments are spliced together to complement each other, some are better than nothing, and some are like the blood marrow swallowed by the lighthouse and completed the perfect fusion, which is the finishing touch, and can even be said to be reborn!
Straight to the point.
The place where the small detention appears is perhaps the narrowest of the banded rifts that have come down from the shaft rift, and it is about the same distance as the lava and the banks of the underground river. Underneath the small detention, there is now a magical "rope bridge".
The main body of this overpass is a huge stone stele, although its size is not up to the level of the Nine Words Law Giant Stone Stele, but it is much larger than other stone tablets.
The "rope bridge" is made up of a huge "net bag", which is actually crisscrossed by hundreds of pitch-black vines and milky white roots. Judging from the state of the giant stone tablet as stable as Mount Tai and immovable, the "net pocket" should be extremely tough.
One side of the net is pierced directly through the lava cliffs, connecting to the top and bottom of the megalith, and the other side of the net is the same, and the roots of the net are through the river bank, probing into a small iceberg, and then disappearing into the rushing water. Xiaoice Mountain is as stable as Mount Tai in the river, it looks like a sandbar in the river, and it can be guessed that the root system penetrating under the iceberg is quite deeply rooted in the river!
"Xiao Ji, you seem to have been very sure of this just now...... Something is the flower of the other side. Wu Xing expressed his doubts in a flat and straightforward tone.
Xiao Jian and his master were naturally already in touch through the spiritual contract, so he said: "Master, please look! Although the vines have penetrated through the lava cliffs, the foundation is here. ”
Xiao Jian floated along the vines to a large "bare" tree on the side of the lava and continued, "This is the foundation of the vines. ”
"The body and stems of the tree were black and shiny, bare, and without leaves...... It's a ...... Is this the kind of black wood that the demon beast fire rat often comes to 'rub oil'?" Wu Xing gathered the star power of the "fish fin" of the tattoo removal device, landed next to the bare towering tree, looked up and down several times, and asked suspiciously.
"This one can't be called a 'tree' yet. Xiao Jian explained: "In its current state, this tree can only be called a 'lightning strike tree' for the time being. ”
