Chapter 265: No Return to Death - Encounter (I)
By the time Qiu Jiu'er and Yan Zheng arrived in the middle of the Ghost Huai Forest and finished the construction of the second base, it was already close to early morning. The two of them repaired again in the stronghold, and then marched to the depths of the central part again on the third day of the first lunar month.
Yan Zheng raised his eyebrows and said triumphantly, "Why do you need me again this time?" ”
Looking at his triumphant appearance, he added a bit of high-spirited handsomeness. Qiu Jiu'er squinted his eyes and said, "Are you coming or not?" ”
"You open your mouth to beg me, of course I will give you a face, and then in front of Yu Bing...... Feed! You wait for me! ”
The two of them came to the ground, and Qiu Jiu'er commanded, "I can't use my spiritual power, there are some small insects and beasts in the depths that are difficult to detect, so please be more vigilant around at that time." ”
“…… I used to think your peculiar physique was awesome, but now I feel like rubbish. Not being able to use mental power is more terrible than losing your senses, how did you survive? ”
Qiu Jiu'er said helplessly, "It's because you rely too much on spiritual power, and the five senses are also very useful." ”
It sounds like someone on a tricycle is saying, "It's okay, the tricycle is as good as the car."
Yan Zheng snickered and silently followed Qiu Jiu'er's footsteps.
"Fortunately, I have a treasure from my master, which can weaken my soul aura. You wait, I'll start it up and go. By the way, do you have any goals? ”
"Collect the natural elements, and let the rest be casual."
"You're quite Buddhist."
After that, the two of them concentrated on the road and stopped talking. The ghost thorn demon vine opened the way, and Yan Zheng escorted him behind him, and Qiu Jiu'er's speed was much faster. The daylight vanished, and the gray air was once again covered in black. After a long journey, Qiu Jiu'er held a phosphorus torch and stopped in front of the fifth-order ghost locust wood side by side with Yan Zheng.
Qiu Jiu'er said in a low voice, "Do you think these ghost locusts are very wrong?" ”
Yan Zheng said, "It's not right, they seem to be guarding against something. Shhh Want to get in? ”
"Be careful, try not to touch these trees."
Qiu Jiu'er took the lead towards a large gap.
She had been thinking about the anomaly of the ghost locust for a long time; This 'Ghost Locust Forest' is their territory, why should a high-level Ghost Locust stop outsiders like themselves? Moreover, when he first arrived in the depths, he was wearing a robe of the night, which was definitely not something that a weak plant and demonic beast with a weak soul cultivation could detect.
Wait, if it's not to guard against 'outsiders', but to prevent someone from escaping?
Noon Moon ...... Could it be that there are people from the Yuanxi Empire who are still trapped inside?!
Qiu Jiu'er's heart was pounding. Those who dare to enter the realm of non-return to death, not to mention that there are close cultivation to the lord, it is almost the same. With a fourth-order intermediate and Yan Zheng a fifth-order intermediate, they are not their opponents at all!
I can only pray that I won't come across.
The two of them walked cautiously in the dense forest of ghosts; Qiu Jiu'er was nervous because of the hidden enemy, and Yan Zheng was exhausted because of his tall body and not daring to touch the trunk of the tree.
It seems that only the fifth-order ghost locust is 'standing guard', and the inner area is loosely lined with sixth- and seventh-order ghost locust trees. The two of them finally broke out of the barrier of the fifth-order ghost locust, and coincidentally chose to hide in the bushes to recover their strength.
"At eleven o'clock, about ten miles or so, I can sense an extremely large existence."
What the hell is 'huge'?
Qiu Jiu'er couldn't speak and ask (for fear of attracting ghosts), so he had to write a note and hand it to the grass next door.
Yan Zheng said again, "It doesn't look like a living thing, it could be the corpse of a building or a demonic beast?" It's too far away, I can't say for sure. Shall we go over and have a look? ”
Qiu Jiu'er handed over the note again.
"You're alone? So what do I say? …… Oh, you go to explore the way, then I'll be waiting for you here. ”
Qiu Jiu'er thought about it, and handed over the note again.
"What's this...... Fire magic scrolls? 'If there's a battle or if there's a movement in the Oni Locust, use the scroll to escape immediately'? …… I said, others are afraid that they will be sold, are you forcing me to sell you? Forget it, if you think that's okay, then I'm okay with that. ”
Qiu Jiu'er lay down in the bushes and rested for most of the hour, then put on the robe of the night, and the rustling sound sounded, and then it returned to silence......
*****
A golden palace with a shadow approaching the Yuanxi Empire.
Qiu Jiu'er was so frightened that his face was pale! Not everyone can get their hands on such a heaven-level superlative large-scale defensive magic guide! This must be the direct descendants of Yuanxi's 'one emperor, three dukes, six kings and nine marquis'!
I can't afford to offend.
Slipped away.
But Qiu Jiu'er didn't take two steps and stopped.
Why didn't they leave? What is the attempt to maintain a powerful magic guide in the realm of no return?
Don't say they can't escape; With the assistance of the Jade Chamber of Commerce, even Qiu Jiu'er was able to blast out a way with magic scrolls, not to mention the nobles of the empire. Everyone knows that teleportation scrolls cannot be used on the land of fragments, so the elemental scrolls used to save life are naturally as many as they can carry.
In any case, you have to figure out their purpose, otherwise when Yan Zheng leaves, he will be targeted by these people when he breaks alone...... The consequences are unimaginable.
Qiu Jiu'er approached from the dead end of the palace door, and by taking advantage of the superiority of the night's robe, she successfully pasted the back of the palace door.
"No matter how strong the evil cultivator is, he is only one person......"
"Our array beads are exhausted, and the scrolls should be kept for the ...... to open the way."
"Her Royal Highness the Princess's 'Spirit Cloak' can be ......"
The more Qiu Jiu'er listened, the more shocked he became, he didn't expect that there was not only Princess Yuanxi and her party in the Ghost Huai Forest, but also evil cultivators?!
In fact, it is not surprising, after all, there are the ruins of the three gods of the undead here, and there must be evil cultivators who want to obtain the inheritance of the undead!
Qiu Jiu'er also gradually reacted: it turned out that the princess was stared at by the evil cultivator and couldn't get out. Now he is planning a decisive battle with evil cultivators......
At this moment, a familiar female voice sounded.
"As long as everyone is willing to help me defeat the evil cultivator and return to the empire safely, when I marry the young master of the Yu clan, I will reward each of you with 1,000 boxes of blood gong stones and qigong stones!"
Qiu Jiu'er was stunned for a moment.
Marry Yu Bing?
Shen Shiyao?!
She's going to marry Yu Bing?!
Qiu Jiu'er was hit hard, and suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and he had to lean against the wall to stand firmly.
The hall began to cheer, and the sound of praise and congratulations was heard, and there was no talk of tactics for a long time. Qiu Jiu'er also hid back in the woods, sitting under the ghost locust with a depressed expression.
It's not that I don't know that Yubing will marry a lot.
Mo Linji, Shen Shiyao, Su Liubing, Zuo Qingcheng...... There are so many women who covet Yubing, and the Yu family is a merchant family, as long as the 'dowry' on the other side is enough, what reason does the Yu family have not agree?
Qiu Jiu'er had been mentally prepared, but when she heard Shen Shiyao's words with her own ears, she would still be painful and unable to control herself.
Reality didn't give Qiu Jiu'er time to adjust.
"Quack—quack—"
"Woo-ah-ah-"
A huge crow neighed and a demonic shrill scream came from Yan Zheng's direction, and immediately after, a flock of black feathers soared into the air with a flaming eagle. There was a tremor on the ground, and the high-level ghosts began to move and gather......
Love was left behind in an instant, and Qiu Jiu'er's heart sank.
Oh no, Yan Zheng was attacked by an evil cultivator!
