526, Weird Haze, Ginseng Fruit Tree [3000 words]
The walls of the courtyard were only one zhang high, and they were broken everywhere, and most of them collapsed.
But even so, everyone still couldn't see the internal environment of the courtyard wall.
Because inside the courtyard wall, there is a layer of earthy yellow haze. The earthy yellow haze rose all the way to the sky, like a huge cover, covering everything within the courtyard wall. Not only is it cut off from sight, but even the divine mind cannot penetrate.
"The entire Wuzhuang Temple is covered by that kind of earthy yellow haze."
The feathered fox led the team towards a three-zhang wide gap in the front, and introduced: "Don't look at the gaps in this courtyard wall, but any gap covered by haze can't get in." Only the fog-free gap in front of us allows us to enter. ”
Ouyang Jing and the others were silent, and while moving forward, they carefully observed the wind-blown earthy yellow haze.
It's just a haze, but it gives people the feeling that it is as dignified and thick as the earth, tough and stubborn as a rock.
Ouyang Jing's eyes flickered, and the Dao body spirit eyes were urged to the extreme, expanding and expanding his field of vision until he was like a microscope, and he could see the fine particles in the haze.
It is a dense mass of earthy yellow particles, suspended in the air in a mysterious arrangement.
Each particle is thousands of times smaller than a grain of sand, but it gives people a strange feeling of being as heavy as a mountain.
Ouyang Jing flicked his fingers and struck a finger wind, hitting the haze, but it only made a crisp sound like a golden iron strike, splashing a brilliant spark.
The haze did not move at all, and not even a speck of dust in the fog was shaken by his finger wind, which was enough to shatter a 10,000-pound boulder.
Ouyang Jing was slightly moved: "No wonder the feather-coated fox said that the places covered by the haze are impassable." Where is this fog? It's clearly a continuous mountain range that doesn't know how thick and how strong it is! ”
Thinking of this, Ouyang Jing used his earthy talent to sense the earthy yellow haze. I only feel that in the earth yellow haze, there is an endless amount of earth power. The earth-moving yuan power contained in a speck of dust is not inferior to a thousand-zhang mountain peak.
But to his surprise, the earth element force in the haze was extremely stable and did not move at all. Even his earth-walking talent couldn't move it in the slightest.
"The Yuan Force is stagnant, and even my earth-walking talent can't make it respond...... In other words, my talent is not able to pass through this haze? ”
Ouyang Jing's brows furrowed: "It's obviously a genus of earth, but it can invalidate my talent ability...... How did such a strange smog come about? ”
As he pondered, there was a sudden thud in front of him.
Ouyang Jing restrained his thoughts, followed the prestige, and saw Ding Crab covering his head, baring his teeth and cracking his mouth.
"What's wrong with Lao Ding?"
Dao Mei shrugged her shoulders and said, "Lao Ding wanted to see if he could pass through the haze, but it turned out to be like hitting an iron plate." This haze is really evil, it obviously looks like fog, but even Lao Ding hit a bag. ”
"It's very evil." Ouyang Jing nodded: "But this is the territory of Zhenyuan Daxian, it's normal to be a little weird." ”
As he spoke, the feather-clothed fox had already walked through the gap with the Killing Witch, Li Tianhan, and Zhao Yiyi.
Ouyang Jing and the others hurriedly followed and entered the gap.
After the gap crossed the courtyard wall, everyone looked around and found that the surroundings were still yellow, and the field of vision was full of earthy yellow haze.
But where the people were, there was not a trace of fog. There is also a tunnel-like passage, which extends inward from the gap where everyone is.
"How did this passage come about?" The little dragon girl suddenly spoke: "Feathered fox, did you open it up?" ”
"Heh, how can I have such a skill?" The feathered fox chuckled, "Look at your feet, and you'll know." ”
Ouyang Jing and the others looked down and saw that the ground under their feet was suddenly blue and black, full of tiny fibrous roots and wood tumors the size of sea bowls.
"It's ......"
Ouyang Jing looked around and saw that this passage full of fibrous roots and wood tumors was more than three zhang wide. The edges on both sides of the passage are normal dirt. Above the soil, it was covered with earthy yellow haze, but there was no haze in this strange passage.
"This is the root of the ginseng fruit tree."
The feather-clothed fox smiled: "This earthy yellow haze contains the power of the earth, according to the theory of the five elements, the wood can overcome the earth." Therefore, where the roots of the ginseng fruit tree are located, the haze dissipates and forms a channel. If it weren't for that, we wouldn't be able to enter the inside of the Five Villages. ”
Ouyang Jing said: "How do you know that this is the root of the ginseng fruit tree?" ”
The feather-clothed fox didn't explain, but said, "Go forward for a while, and you will naturally know." ”
As she spoke, she walked along the passage with the three of her men without stopping.
Ouyang Jing and the four of them were a few feet behind, and they were careful to keep up.
The passage is not straight, but winds like the roots of a tree. And the further you go, the wider it becomes, and the "ground" of the passage gradually rises and becomes more and more uneven, and the shape of the roots of the trees can be seen gradually.
After walking for dozens of miles, the front suddenly opened up, and a "short and fat" giant tree with a height of only 30 zhang and a diameter of 10 zhang appeared in front of everyone.
The branches of the giant tree were dense and lush, and the sky was yellow.
Around the giant tree, the haze dissipated, revealing a quiet space with a radius of more than 1,000 zhang.
At the foot of the giant tree, dozens of thick root systems, like earth dragons, prostrate on the ground, spreading out in all directions. After exceeding the fog-free range, it pokes into the yellow haze on all sides, and opens out passages that lead to unknown places in the haze.
The passage where Ouyang Jing and the others stood was one of the roots. They stood on the root of the tree, raised their eyes and stared at the giant tree, only to see that above the canopy, among the branches and leaves, there were indeed a dozen or so baby-like fruits, which were ginseng fruits!
"The passage is really opened by the roots of the ginseng fruit tree!" Ouyang Jing exclaimed.
"Ginseng fruit!" Xiaolongnu's eyes lit up, looking at the dozen or so ginseng fruits, "There are so many ginseng fruits!" ”
The ginseng fruit, which only has the ability to prolong life, is not attractive to other reincarnators.
But for the little dragon girl...... If she opens her eyes is open, then the ginseng fruit is the ingots to recharge the plug-in!
If you can get all the more than ten ginseng fruits on the tree...... Then she would dare to turn her face with the feathered fox now.
But......
The little dragon girl glanced at the feather-clothed fox, and asked with a smile: "The feather-clothed fox, why didn't you pick all the ginseng fruits when you came last time?" How is it that so much fruit is left on the tree? ”
The feather-clothed fox smiled: "There are both natural and earthly treasures, and there are things to guard. I was able to pick four ginseng fruits last time, and to be honest, I was lucky that those four ginseng fruits were right within my reach. And the rest of the fruit is high in the canopy, guarded by a monster that is not easy to mess with. The ginseng fruit is useless to me, but I am not guilty of fighting the monster. ”
"Monsters?"
The little dragon girl turned on the pupil technique and stared at the canopy. However, the ginseng fruit tree is the spiritual root of heaven and earth, and it has its own miraculousness, and the little dragon girl has even changed several kinds of pupil techniques, but she can't even see through a leaf, and she can't see what kind of monster is hidden in the canopy of dense branches and leaves.
"Feathered fox, what monster is hiding in the tree?"
The feathered fox smiled and said nothing, obviously not wanting to say it, so that the little dragon girl got a advantage.
"Captain, I'll take a look."
Seeing this, Ouyang Jing strode forward, walked under the ginseng fruit tree, raised his eyes and stared for a while, and couldn't see the clue clearly. But he didn't care, raised his palm and pressed it against the trunk of the tree, the palm of which was against the rough bark, and activated the talent of wood to communicate with plants.
"Huh?"
After a few breaths, Ouyang Jing frowned slightly, and was surprised in his heart: "How can this be?" ”
This main trunk is thick, the branches are luxuriant, the root system is developed, and it is full of vitality, containing the infinite wood spirit qi, which can produce ginseng fruits, and can restrain the earth and yellow haze.
But this is not normal.
Even an ordinary ancient tree that is a little old will give birth to a trace of spirituality, and it can resonate with Ouyang Jing's wood talent, how can a dignified ginseng fruit tree be inferior to an ordinary ancient tree?
Ouyang Jing frowned, and used all his strength to activate the wood walking talent, and his divine thoughts infiltrated into the body of the tree, and he continued to explore deeply, and after a long time, he finally noticed a trace of abnormality.
He sensed a hint of death.
"Dead?"
The corners of Ouyang Jing's eyes jumped slightly: "The spirituality of the ginseng fruit tree...... Already dead? ”
The ginseng fruit tree is spiritually dead, leaving only pure plant functions, although it can still produce ginseng fruit, but it no longer has any ability to communicate with people.
"I can't help it."
Since the fruit tree's spirituality was dead and it was impossible to communicate, Ouyang Jing couldn't ask it what monsters were hidden in the tree, so he could only risk his life and go up to the tree to check in person.
Seeing him jump onto a horizontal branch and climb upwards continuously, the little dragon girl hurriedly reminded: "Be careful! The feathered fox said that the monster was not easy to mess with! ”
"Don't worry! The feathered fox just didn't want to fight the monster for the ginseng fruit that was useless to her. Ouyang Jing smiled: "I'm careful, it's fine......"
As he spoke, he had already plunged into the depths of the canopy, his figure was hidden by dense branches and leaves, and disappeared from the field of vision of Xiaolongnu and the others.
Then, there was a loud bang.
Ouyang Jing, who had just penetrated into the canopy of the tree, fell down at a faster speed than when he went, and smashed to the ground like a meteor, smashing the ground under the tree to the point of bursting more than 100 zhang and sinking more than 10 zhang, forming a huge death pit.
"Ouyang!"
Just looking at Ouyang Jing's momentum when he fell to the ground, he knew what a heavy blow he had suffered.
The little dragon girl, Ding crab, and knife girl suddenly changed color at the same time.
Ding Crab and Dao Mei each held weapons and took vigilance against the feather-clothed fox and others not far away, beware of them taking advantage of the fire to rob.
The little dragon girl flashed her figure, and instantly swept to the bottom of the pit, came to the place where Ouyang Jing fell, and looked at the bottom of the pit, only to see Ouyang Jing lying on his back at the bottom of the pit, his chest placket was torn, revealing strong chest muscles.
"How are you?" She asked urgently, "Are you hurt?" ”
"It's fine." Ouyang Jing raised his right hand, stroked his chest nonchalantly, smiled at the little dragon girl, and said, "I just discovered something. This is probably my home turf! ”
