Chapter 32: The Vine of Heaven
Liu Jing and Li Mo's weapons are both long knives, and these weapons are spiritual weapons for close-range combat. Wang Wanxi's weapon is a magic staff, which is similar to the Yuanwei Wood Fennel, which can be used to attack from a distance. Sun Ling's weapon is the most peculiar, it is a flag-like animal skin bound to the top of a long pole, hunting in the wind, this is also a magic weapon, called a spirit flag.
The huge valley is dozens of zhang wide, and for mortals, this is a moat that cannot be crossed. Motoo and the others were able to control flying spirit weapons with spiritual power, so there was no difficulty in stepping into the valley.
A few people stepped on the spirit feather and slowly flew towards the bottom of the valley.
The valley is almost entirely lined with vertical stone walls, covered with vine branches and leaves, like two green walls, with occasional clouds rising from the valley floor, and the sun is full of tranquility and serenity.
Yuanwei and the others didn't dare to relax at all, because they had already flown half a pillar of incense, and they still hadn't reached the bottom.
"I've been practicing in Qingqiu Sect for many years, why have I never heard of a deep valley here? ”
"yes, yes, be careful, it's not an easy place. ”
Just as a few people were talking in a low voice, there was a sudden fluttering sound, and a flock of green nameless strange birds flew out of the vines, circling over the heads of several people and scattering in all directions.
The bird was the size of an adult's palm, like the leaves of a vine, and was green from head to toe, full of weirdness.
Under the nervousness, several people were startled, and only then did they relax when they saw that it was just a flock of strange birds.
"Those birds are really weird!"
"It's just birds, after all..."
The six of them had no intention of retreating at all, and continued to land towards the bottom.
However, as if a gust of wind was blowing, all the green leaves on the cliff wall suddenly turned into green strange birds, squeaking and swooping down on them.
The countless green birds formed a green storm and directly swept several people into it.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Sun Ling unfolded the spirit flag, and the strange beast skin grew into dozens of zhang in the wind, wrapping around the six people to form a protective shield.
The green bird continued to pound on the hide, thumping the drum.
Sun Ling injected spiritual power into the spirit flag, and a light purple halo emanated from the animal skin, and the green birds that hit the animal skin were bounced out by the spiritual power and turned into green liquid.
"Senior Sister Wang, hurry up and find a way, there are too many strange birds, I'm afraid I won't be able to support much time!" Although Sun Ling was in the realm of forging veins for nine weeks, she felt a little difficult under the simultaneous attack of thousands of strange birds.
Wang Wanxi raised his staff and shouted, "Heavenly Fire Slaughtering City!"
A ball of flame appeared at the top of Wang Wanxi's staff, and with a bang, a circle of flame waves emitted around it and continued to impact the green strange birds, and those strange birds turned into black charcoal when they were burned, emitting bursts of scorched stench.
Wang Flame burned batch after batch of green birds, but there were too many green birds and they were not afraid, Wang Wanxi's spiritual power was always limited, and it was never a way to confront them like this. And one after another, some green birds broke through the skin of the spirit flag and got in, Liu Jing and Li Mo danced the long knife, although each blow can eliminate a few green birds, but it also makes everyone green juice, very embarrassed.
"Everyone, hold on, let's keep flying!" Wang Wanxi controlled the rhythm of the attack and forcibly punched a downward path.
After descending a few hundred feet, the six of them felt that the temperature around them was much lower, as if they were afraid of the change in temperature, and the number of green birds gradually decreased, and finally disappeared. At the same time, white clouds appeared around them, looking towards the bottom of the valley, and there was a vast sea of white clouds covering the entire valley floor.
This battle lasted for a long time, except for Yuan Wei and Mu Wei, the other four people were a little tired, especially Wang Wanxi and Sun Ling, whose faces were even a little pale due to the continuous use of spiritual power.
Motowei was born with a special sense of beasts, but what made Motowei wonder was that those green strange birds were not like real birds, because Motowei didn't feel the aura of birds from them.
Due to the obstruction of the cliff wall, there is a lot less light in the valley at this time, perhaps because of the light, or because the temperature has become colder, the green leaves on this section of the cliff wall have been very few, only some yellow residual leaves are scattered and hung. The stone walls were densely replaced by dark red branches like veins, twisting and twisting vertically.
"Senior brothers and sisters, have you seen those branches? That's where the essence of the Heaven Covering Vine lies, but the spiritual power contained in these branches is still relatively small, if we follow them to find the main trunk, that's what we're looking for!" Mu Wei hid in the protective circle and was unharmed, but there was some green juice on his body, and he cheered everyone up loudly.
A few people escaped the green strange bird, and they were encouraged again, and their low and nervous mood rose again.
"Look, what's hidden in that cloud?" Liu Jing suddenly noticed something twisting in the clouds floating around her.
"The wind swept the clouds!" Sun Ling waved the spirit flag, summoning a gust of wind that struck the clouds.
The clouds and mist blew away, revealing a giant snake more than a zhang long, the snake's head was extremely hideous, the fangs were long and shining blood-colored light out of the mouth, and the most conspicuous thing was that there were two dark red wings of one zhang long on the snake's body!
"That's Teng Snake! Senior Brother Liu should stay away from him, the most powerful thing about Teng Snake is to swallow poisonous mist!" Mu Wei looked at the giant snake, and his face changed and reminded loudly.
Liu Jing wanted to escape, but it was too late, the Teng snake's mouth opened, and a cloud of green smoke directly surrounded him, and a huge dark green skull was formed, and the skeleton's mandible shook up and down, making a chatter and strange laugh. Liu Jing in the smoke brandished a long knife and struck around, but the smoke was like a maggot on the tarsal bones, lingering.
"Flameburst!"
Wang Wanxi danced her staff to send out a ball of fire, burning the Teng snake to ashes, but she didn't dare to attack the smoke for fear of accidentally injuring Liu Jing.
Several people threw a mouse, and they had to watch as the smoke consumed all of Liu Jing's spiritual power little by little, and corroded his muscles, refining a strong immortal cultivator who had been forging veins for eight weeks into a white flower skeleton, scattered and falling into the depths of the valley.
"Blast away all the clouds around us, and don't let any snakes get close to us!" Wang Wanxi ordered angrily, and before she could see a single hair of the elixir, she would lose her troops first, which made her angry.
Fortunately, except for Li Mo, the other four people can manipulate weapons to carry out long-range attacks, and it is not difficult to open a passage in the clouds.
After descending for a few hundred zhang, layers of white ice appeared on the cliffs on both sides, and the temperature at this time was close to midwinter, but fortunately, with the improvement of the realm, the immortal cultivators no longer needed cotton clothes to keep warm and warm. But the trouble is that the original scattered clouds have become a sea of clouds at this time, connected with the white ice cubes on the cliff wall, forming a strange white world, making it impossible to tell whether it is a cloud or a white snow for a while.
"Senior Sister Wang, do we still want to continue down?" Li Mo looked at Wang Wanxi with difficulty.
"Senior Sister Wang, you can see that the ice-covered vines on the cliff wall are much thinner and thicker than before. It won't take long to keep going down, and you should be able to find the backbone! You can't give up at this time!" Mu Wei was afraid that she would retreat in the face of difficulties, so she added a fire at the right time.
"I have overcome so many difficulties! I also lost Liu Jing's junior brother, so I am really unwilling to give up like this. Wang Wanxi lowered her head and pondered, but she couldn't figure out if there was also a snake that could cast a poisonous mist hidden in the thick clouds.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Wanxi raised her head and stared at Yuan Wei and Mu Wei. Yuanwei suddenly felt a chill shoot out of her eyes, and she couldn't help but shiver.
"Senior Brother Yuan, Senior Brother Mu, do you know the purpose of Senior Brother Nie sending us out?"
"The purpose of coming out, isn't it to greet Senior Brother Nie's cousin?" Yuan Wei was a little dazed, at least this was the way his expression looked. After staying with Mu Wei for a long time, Motoo unconsciously learned to lie and learn to hide his true feelings.
"Hey, that's just the façade. It only takes the four of us to pick up Senior Brother and Cousin Nie, and we will take you out, just to find an opportunity to get rid of you. Wang Wanxi suddenly changed her face, a little sinister and a little vicious.
"No! Senior Brother Nie won't do this! He's my most respected senior brother!"
"Hmph! Childish! The truth has been told to you. Now there are two paths for you to choose from. One is that I will burn you two to death, and the other one, you two will lead the way and lead us through the sea of clouds..."
"Let's go to the sea of clouds?!Senior Sister Wang, you can kill us directly!" Yuan Wei and Mu Wei glanced at each other and shouted in unison.
