Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Dry Tree
No one responded.
Everything was calm again, except for the sound of the wind and the faint smell of blood in the air.
The air current, as if it had never existed.
Mu Jiujiu glanced at Wen Yuan, his eyes uneasy.
Not only because of this sudden attack, but also because after using that move just now, Wen Yuan's face turned even paler.
Wen Yuan still couldn't see the emotion on his face, he held the cloud blood sword, and said calmly: "Let's go." ”
Duan Qianxiao nodded.
Mu Jiujiu looked at the stiff man underground with emotion, and followed them on.
The bushes were deep ahead, and there was no one to be seen except for a bunch of trees.
"Who do you think was the one who attacked us?" Mu Jiujiu asked.
Wen Yuan didn't answer, his eyes were thoughtful. Duan Qianxiao said: "Although I don't know who this person is, this person is very strong. ”
Along the way, for some reason, more and more leaves are falling.
It was supposed to be the season when the trees were luxuriant, but the further you went to the center, the trees seemed to be sucked out of their vitality, and they became old and withered.
The golden leaves danced in the wind, and the weeds on the roadside seemed to have been washed away, and they shrugged listlessly.
With a thick layer of fallen leaves under his feet, he said, "How do I feel like I've gone from summer to autumn?" ”
Duan Qianxiao also said: "It's too strange. ”
Mu Jiujiu looked up and looked at the countless fallen leaves blown down by the wind, and a strange feeling appeared in his heart.
It's like there's something in the middle of the forest that sucks the life force out of the trees.
Suddenly, Wen Yuan said, "There is someone ahead." ”
Mu Jiujiu suddenly raised his head, and after a while, a man in brown clothes walked over from the front.
Mu Jiujiu was a little excited in his heart. Ever since I entered this forest, strange things have happened. Either it's some violent and bloody spirit beasts or some zombies who deceive corpses.
The person walking in front of him walked with a normal pace, and there was no blackening or anything like Yintang, so he looked like a normal ordinary person!
"This passing brother." Mu Jiujiu waved at him frantically.
When the visitor heard his voice, he looked suspiciously and found a young girl looking at him with an excited face.
There were two other men beside her, one of them staring lightly, his gaze gently brushing over him. One person had a smile on his face, but there was a scrutiny in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" He asked, a little curiously.
Mu Jiujiu thought for a while and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal, I just want to know why the forests around here have suddenly withered, and the leaves are about to fall out." ”
The man in brown glanced at them, but he didn't hide anything: "It's because the flowers in the forest are about to bloom, you know the 'heart of the blue', right?" ”
Mu Jiujiu's eyes moved after hearing this, and Duan Qianxiao and Wen Yuan glanced at each other behind him.
Duan Qianxiao spoke: "I've heard of it, but we've never heard that 'Emerald Heart' will cause the surrounding trees to dry up. ”
The man said, "I also find this strange.
Every time the Turquoise Flower blooms, it will always absorb spiritual power around it, as a reserve energy to give birth to the 'Turquoise Heart', I have never heard of such an exaggeration before, it stands to reason that the spiritual power in the air is enough.
But this time, I don't know what's going on, those turquoise buds frantically absorb the spiritual power around them, and around them, not a single living grass remains. ”
"That's ......" Mu Jiujiu nodded thoughtfully, and said, "I don't know where this brother is going?" ”
It stands to reason that this is the place where the Crystal Flower is in front of you, and this person must have come for the 'Heart of Jadeite'.
The man in brown said, "I'm going to go back, not going to this troubled water." ”
Mu Jiujiu: "How do you say this?" ”
The man sighed, "Although I want to get the 'Crystal Heart', I also have to take this life." Don't you know, several waves of people who have come for it have been fighting these days, and there have been countless casualties.
I consider myself a nameless and unaffiliated cultivator, and I can't compete with these people. It's better to go home and protect my little life. ”
Mu Jiujiu: "Are there a lot of people here?" ”
The man said: "Yes, some people from the Demon Realm and the Demon Realm have intervened. ”
Mu Jiujiu thought of the corpse of the fat man he had seen before, and thought, could it be that this person died because of a conflict with the competitor?
She thanked the man in brown, and when the man saw that they were going to move on, he kindly reminded: "Girl, I saw that you had a kind face, so I said a few more words."
Those people will do whatever it takes to 'Bi Ying Heart', and don't fight with their lives for a little profit.
Although I am a little person with no name in my life, I have some means to survive until now.
Along the way, I didn't encounter much trouble except for one or two slightly ferocious spirit beasts. But this forest just gave me a sense of foreboding, and my instincts saved my life several times.
I advise you to get out of here as soon as possible. ”
Mu Jiujiu thought to himself, they didn't just encounter "a few ferocious spirit beasts" along the way.
What is this, special care?
However, it also allowed them to realize that something was wrong in the forest earlier.
Mu Jiujiu said: "Thank you for reminding us, but we have other purposes for this trip, so we decided to move on." ”
The man in brown couldn't persuade them, and his eyes were a little pity.
He said, "Then don't go the wrong way, this dry leaf has covered the previous path, and this place is deserted, and it is easy to get lost."
You keep going east, and when you see a ruined temple, you can stop there. The ruined temple is not far from the Turquoise, so you can rest there for a while.
However, there may be other people in the ruined temple, try not to get into conflict, most of these people are here for the 'Crystal Heart'. ”
Mu Jiujiu thanked him and waved goodbye to the man.
The road ahead was covered in leaves, and the wind was blowing in the distance.
Mu Jiujiu's robes are hunting, and the fallen leaves are dancing, and this picture is still a little poetic.
She has never been good at poetry, and when she sees this situation, she also plans to pretend to be vicissitudes.
Mu Jiujiu sighed, touched his non-existent beard, and said softly: "The wind is sluggish and the leaves are dancing, and the beauty will never return." ”
Wen Yuan: "......"
Duan Qianxiao: "What nonsense! ”
Mu Jiujiu blinked and said with a smile: "It's an active and active atmosphere." What is this 'Crystal Heart', and why do so many people flock to it? ”
Duan Qianxiao said: "Good thing, I haven't heard what the specific effect is, anyway, it is certain that I can improve my skills."
And I think I've heard that this thing also has the effect of repairing the soul......"
"Repair the soul?" Mu Jiujiu's eyes lit up.
Could it be that under the moon that night, the breath that Yumeng said made her feel comfortable was the "Crystal Heart"?
Thinking of this, Mu Jiujiu felt full of strength, and said to them excitedly: "We must get the 'Biying Heart', you cheer up!" ”
The other two looked at each other, and when they saw the wine in front of them, they looked inexplicable.
