The farther west you go, the denser the trees in the forest become.

The sunlight cast from among the leaves was gradually swallowed up by the darkness, the leaves on the ground rotted into mud, the air was filled with the smell of corruption, and the surroundings became quiet, with the occasional bird chirping, and sometimes there were strange sounds in the darkness, most likely some kind of animal jumping.

Su Qi and the four of them walked through the forest, and the rustling and breathing sounds covered everything around them.

Everywhere they passed, the birds were silent, and the insects were silent.

A sudden flash of shock swept by.

It was the sword behind Lu Celadon that galloped away, stabbing at a point in the darkness, and after a muffled sound, the sword flew back again.

Su Qi glanced at it.

On the small slope not far away, a demon wolf from the Spirit Sea Realm was lying on the ground, already exhausted.

"So fast. Jian Cicada touched his neck and sighed.

Zhao Riyue's eyes lit up, holding the sword, and he was also eager to try.

"How far is it?" Lu Qingci asked.

Su Qi pointed to a dark hillside in front of him, "Go over there and walk for another seven miles." ”

Lu Celadon nodded.

She was dressed in a pale blue shirt, carrying a sword, her long hair tied together haphazardly at the back of her head, and her delicate face looked white and tender in the dim forest, and her figure was swift, rushing towards the west.

Stand on the slope.

There is still a boundless forest sea below, and there is a demonic aura in front of it.

"I feel it. ”

A glimmer of brilliance flashed on Lu Celadon's face, she threw out the Qiushui Sword in her hand, turned into a streamer, and hit her toes twice on the tree beside her, leaped up, stepped on the sword light, and disappeared.

"Damn, don't be in such a hurry. ”

Su Qi stared at the sky blankly.

Zhao Riyue pouted, looked at her senior sister's back, and rushed down the hill suddenly.

Jiancia touched his head, "The girls are so fierce." ”

"What about you?" Su Qi glanced at him, the monk's expression had betrayed him.

"Uh," Jian Cicada said embarrassedly as he looked at the distant sword light, "actually...... It's been a long time since I've fought with demons. ”

Su Qi rolled his eyes and waved his hand, "Get out." ”

The cicada laughed, stepped out, and flew into the air.

Su Qi sighed and chased after Zhao Riyue.

The sword intent in front of him was surging.

Su Qi seemed to be able to hear the Qiushui Sword roaring excitedly, the sword qi flowing out of its body, and its cheers made the Qingzhi Sword behind him uneasy, trembling slightly behind his back.

A moment later, there was a loud tremor on the ground, and a flash of fire loomed in the forest ahead.

"This monk!" Su Qi sighed.

By the time Su Qi arrived, even Zhao Riyue had already joined the battlefield.

A snake demon coiled on the ground, more than a dozen feet long, with thick scales on its body, and a purple light was spewing out from its mouth, sweeping on the surrounding trees, making a piercing snort, and those trees were quickly corroded and wiped away.

Jian Cicada stood on the ground, and there was an illusory Buddha shadow sitting cross-legged behind him, pinching his fingers.

He punched in the air, and a Buddha shadow rushed out of his fist, colliding with the purple light.

The Buddha's light and demonic energy are in a stalemate.

Lu Celadon stood in mid-air, and the Qiushui Sword hung over her head.

She seized the opportunity, and a sword qi rushed and stabbed at the snake's tail.

The snake demon howled, the snake's head trembled, its tail fluttered, and the purple light in its mouth swept everywhere, clearing the surrounding area into an open space, and the darkness suddenly faded, and the sun sprinkled on the ground.

Only then did Su Qi see clearly that the snake demon's whole body was turquoise, the scales were like pieces of jade, crystal clear, and there were already several sword marks on the snake's body, leaving bright blood.

Taking advantage of the snake demon's pain, Jian Cicada punched again, and the big golden fist continued to form in the air, punching one punch after another, hitting the snake demon's abdomen fiercely.

Zhao Riyue had been wandering around the sidelines, and at this time he also jumped in the air.

A beacon in March.

The fiery sword qi swept accurately over the snake demon's eyes, leaving a scar.

The snake demon tail flicked violently, like a long whip across the air, forcing several people back.

It spits letters.

Raised his head and slapped the snake's tail suddenly.

A giant snake phantom suddenly appeared in the sky, with two wings on its back, two horns on its head, and a huge mouth, biting at several people.

Jian Cicada lifted the air with one hand, and the Buddha shadow stood up from behind him, put his hands together, took one step, grabbed the head of the giant snake with one hand, grabbed the wings of the giant snake with the other, and pressed it to the ground fiercely.

The ancestor phantom was restrained, and the snake demon saw that the situation was not good, and the snake tail swung and fled to the forest.

Lu Celadon pointed with one hand, and the Qiushui Sword rushed like electricity, speeding to the top of the snake demon's head, the sword light was differentiated, and countless sword shadows rushed down densely.

Ten thousand swords eat bones.

The snake demon screamed and collapsed limply on the ground, and the demon's blood flowed all over the ground.

"It's miserable. ”

Su Qi approached, and the scales of the snake demon were almost wiped out by Lu Celadon and were scarred.

"The snake gall of the god-level snake demon must be very replenished. ”

The cicada straightened the snake's body and gestured to find the location of the snake's gall.

"Alchemy is not bad. Su Qi interjected, he knew several recipes for alchemy with snake gall.

After digging up the snake gall, the cicada began to advocate chopping the snake demon into pieces and packing the snake meat away, and won the resolute support of Zhao Riyue, Lu Celadon took out a small jade bottle and collected the venom at the snake's head.

The three of them cleaned up the battlefield, Su Qi looked around, but he was suddenly stunned for a moment, a trace of surprise flashed on his face, and then he walked to the edge of the battlefield, where the trees had survived and were not affected by the battle just now.

He looked up, and an ancient tree beside him reached into the sky, and he reached out to feel the lines on the tree, rough and shriveled, and turned his head to look at the other trees in the darkness.

"Is there something wrong?"

Lu Celadon walked over.

Su Qi took out his sword and slashed it on the trunk.

The ancient tree suddenly trembled wildly, and the leaves rattled.

The cicada stepped forward, his index finger was reddish, and he pressed it lightly on the tree, leaving a pit the size of a bowl.

The ancient tree groaned, and a pungent liquid flowed from its damaged branches.

"This is the Demon Tree. Jian Cicada stared at the ancient tree, "Although it is weaker than the Forging Body Realm, it is absolutely true, this tree has already embarked on the path of cultivation." ”

Lu Qingci noticed Su Qi's eyes looking around, "How many?"

"There are three around here," Su Qi pointed to the northwest, "but there are more over there, within ten miles, and a few have dozens." ”

"It's hard for a tree to become a demon," Jian Cicada looked surprised, "In addition to the ancient god trees such as the Heaven and Earth Tree, Jianmu, and Fusang, ordinary trees like this may not have a chance to become a demon after a thousand years of exhaustion.......

"There is a demon tree in Luofengpo. ”

Su Qi understood Lu Qingci's words.

There is only one demon tree in a large Fengpo slope.

How could this demon valley come out of thin air with dozens or hundreds?

"Can you see what's over there?"

"There are too many interferences, the demonic qi here is everywhere, and there are little demons in the spiritual sea and forging bodies everywhere," Su Qi rubbed his brows, feeling a trace of disgust, "But at least, there is no demonic qi above the divine mind within thirty miles." ”

"It's possible to be in a deeper place. Lu Celadon hesitated, she looked at Su Qi and Zhao Riyue, "Wait for me here, I'll take a look." ”

"No, let's go together. ”

Su Qi instinctively felt that something was not quite right there.
