Chapter 522: Rotten Roots

This time I stood where I was, and the beads of sweat that had been thrown from my hands landed not far from the mules, but they were frightened and retreated again.

I looked at my palm, and there were not only beads of sweat on it, but also some dark liquid, which was the blood of the monster.

When the monster's chest was pierced, not only demonic energy gushed out from the wound, but also its blood. And when I pounced on it, the blood splattered on me.

The dwarf mule is not afraid of the seal of Fantian, but the blood of that monster!

I really thought I was going to be finished, but I didn't expect the dirty blood on the monster to save my life.

I remember that Master Xia often said, "The reincarnation of heaven has its own fixed number in the underworld." In the past, I had deep doubts about this sentence, but now, I have come to believe it.

Life and death are sometimes based on fate.

I smiled and shook my head, put away the seal, picked up the flashlight again, and turned to walk deeper into the cave.

The dwarf mules behind me did not follow, and the blood I spilled on the ground became the boundary of the forbidden area, and they kept looking at me from a distance, but they did not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool.

Back near the monster's corpse, they were gone. I turned the monster over so that it was facing the ground so that its blood could run down the wound on its chest, and the mule might chase after it, but the large amount of dirty blood would definitely stop them.

I let out a long breath and continued to march towards the depths, deliberately speeding up my pace on the way, hoping to meet Liang Houzai and the second master.

The Qinggang Sword is in the second master's place, I only have the Fantian Seal pinned to the belt, without the Qinggang Sword in my hand, I always feel uncomfortable, like a broken arm, and even the center of gravity when walking has become not so stable.

Although I also know that the reason why it is difficult to maintain balance is because the previous battle consumed a lot of physical strength.

Demon corpses and evil gods will definitely be more tricky than monsters, and I don't know if we can still fight them in our current situation.

After about half an hour, the familiar backs finally appeared in front of me.

I held a flashlight in my hand and shone it on them, and Liu Shangang stopped early in the morning and looked at me.

The second master also turned his head and shouted at me: "The dwarf mule has been cleaned up?" ”

I walked up to them and told them exactly what had just happened, and they couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion as they listened to my statement.

The second master said that we may not be killed this time, and the next evil gods and demon corpses should not be able to do anything to us. I knew he was saying this to boost morale, but when I heard these words, I felt a sense of relief.

I'm thinking, maybe the second master is right, we really shouldn't die this time.

Knowing that the dwarf mule had been blocked by the monster's blood, Du Kang suggested that he take a break in place and eat something to recover his strength.

It's really time to take a break, if we face the demon corpses and evil gods with such physical strength, there is a chance that we will be destroyed as soon as we start a war.

I sensed the demons and the evil gods, and they were still entrenched in the depths of the cavern, unchanged from before.

"Rest for half an hour, stand and rest, don't sit down." What I said later was actually to Lao Yang, if you sit down now, you may not be able to stand up later.

After that, Liu Shangang and I took out compressed biscuits, and everyone divided them together, and Liang Houzai and Du Kang still had a small amount of water.

In fact, the food and water in the backpack of the second master is the most, and Liu Shangang also felt that the second master had a lot of food and strength, so he loaded some more, and later when Gai Dong was left in the village by us, he also gave his food and water to the second master. It's a pity that the second master's backpack has been lost, and we can only rely on the last bit of food left to satisfy our hunger.

I couldn't tell the time in the realm of the evil gods, so we rested until our breath calmed down and then we started again, and the second master returned the green steel sword to me, and I wrapped the hilt and scabbard in gauze and hung them on my belt.

After going some distance, the air in the cave became hot, and there was a strange smell of rot on the walls of the cave on both sides, which was a mixture of baking and acetic acid, like the stench emanating from badly rotten apples, very pungent.

Lao Yang was obviously extremely uncomfortable with such a smell, and I saw him frowning and pinching his nose twice with his hand from time to time.

The further you go, the hotter the air becomes, and the smell of rancid smell gets heavier and heavier.

For the first time, the second master took the initiative to ask Du Kang: "What kind of smell is this?" ”

Du Kang thought for a moment and said, "It should be a rotten sacred tree root." ”

Liu Shangang also spoke: "Aren't they all burned out?" ”

Du Kang shook his head and said, "I suspect that before the accident in Dazhai, the sacred tree should have begun to rot its roots, and this rotten root whisker is near the mountain pass where the mountain demon is located. You remember, when there was an accident in the mountain pass, the Great Witch called the Black King to the wall and told him that something had happened to the sacred tree. ”

Liang Houzai: "Maybe it's because the sacred tree has rotten roots that it has caused the mountain demon to change." What happened in Dazhai was a chain reaction after the rotten roots of the holy tree. ”

Du Kang: "When the spirit of the sacred tree seeps into the earth, its roots fester, the entire valley will be affected, and the mountain demon will not be able to be left alone. It is also possible that the root system of the mountain demon and the root system of the sacred tree are connected together, and after the root of the sacred tree rots, its root system is also corroded, so it becomes manic. However, I think that the rotten roots of the sacred tree are a reason, and the Han people who behaved strangely were also inseparable from the mutation of the mountain demon. ”

Speaking of this, Du Kang paused for a moment, and then said, "Actually, most of the evil gods were spawned by humans. ”

I listened silently to the conversation, and I didn't interject during the conversation, just walked forward with my head bored.

Having witnessed so many things in this ancient valley, I always had the feeling that Luo Youfang had deliberately brought me here, as if he was trying to tell me something.

Although the person who spread the evil art in the Bohai generation was not Luo Youfang, he was the connector of Ashiya Masanobu, and it can be speculated that perhaps Ashiya Masanobu did everything under Luo Youfang's instructions.

It is precisely because of these evil arts that I can get in touch with Boss Dong, and I can see that Han man in the memory of the evil god - the old man who looks like Luo Youfang.

But what exactly did Luo Youfang want to tell me, and what did he do so much painstakingly?

What makes me even more incomprehensible is why he told me the longitude and latitude of those tombs, what exactly did he want to do?

"Brother Dao, there's movement ahead." Liu Shangang suddenly approached me and whispered to me.

I immediately stopped and listened with my ears sideways, but I couldn't hear anything, so I asked Liu Shangang, "What kind of sound?" ”

Liu Shangang: "I can't describe it, it's just a very broken sound, like a lot of snakes crawling on the ground." ”

A lot of snakes crawl on the ground, they can't be earthworms, right?

The thought of those huge earthworms makes me feel sick.

Liu Shangang asked me, "Why don't I go to the front to find out the situation first?" ”

I shook my head, "Now that we're close to the evil gods and demon corpses, don't act alone." ”

Liu Shangang returned to the team to take care of Lao Yang, and I beckoned everyone to continue walking.

Everyone's footsteps were very light, and we listened attentively as we walked, but the very broken voice in Liu Shangang's mouth never appeared.

And the Qi field of the demonic qi and the evil god also stopped changing after reaching a certain concentration, and I walked for a long time, but I always had the feeling of walking in place.

Liu Shangang came up to me again and said to me, "Brother Dao, we seem to have been going around in circles since just now." ”

I stopped to look at Liu Shangang, he raised a hand and pointed to the cave wall on the right, and continued: "The sound came from here, just now we walked forward, getting farther and farther away from it, but now it seems to be back to the original place, and the sound has become louder again. ”

When he said this, I put half of my face on the wall of the cave and listened carefully for a while, but I still didn't hear anything.

Liu Shangang said again: "We seem to be really going around in circles." ”

I replied, "I know." Then he fumbled around the cave wall.

This cave wall gives me a bit of a strange touch, when the light of the headlamp shines on it, the potholes and reflections on the cave wall indicate that there is no other thing attached to it, but when my hand touches it, I feel that there are a lot of roots attached to the stone wall, and those roots seem to have cracked and cracked, and the humidity here is very heavy, it feels very strange to the touch.

I took two steps back and shone my flashlight on the cave wall, and there was really nothing on it.

Something is wrong, something is so wrong.

At this time, Liang Houzai's muttering reminded me: "Why can't you feel the corpse when you get here?" ”

That's right, in this place, there is only the Qi field of demonic energy and evil gods, but only the corpse qi is missing, which is indeed a very strange thing. The point is that I don't know when that corpse qi disappeared, as if it was not the corpse qi that disappeared, but the ...... My ability to perceive this kind of Qi field.

I tried to perceive the Qi field again, and there was indeed no corpse qi, and the purity of the demonic qi seemed to have a tendency to surpass the evil god Qi field.

"It should be the demonic aura here that affects our senses." I said to Liang Houzai.

Liang Houzai immediately took out a few evil charms from his backpack and pasted them on the cave wall.

In just an instant, the aura on these evil talismans was quickly depleted, and the rapid consumption of the aura would cause the talisman to catch fire for no reason, and those few evil talismans were now sparking, burning rapidly on the cave wall.

Liang Houzai couldn't help but exclaim: "What a heavy evil field." ”

I untied the fire silk cloth and placed Fantianyin on the ground, and the fiery Qi field of Fantianyin immediately dispersed in the cave. Although this Qi field is not considered neutral and will make people upset, it can also prevent evil qi from entering.

Soon, Fantianyin's Qi Field occupied a small area in the cave, forming a small ...... Enchantment, let's call it enchantment, anyway, neither the demonic spirit nor the evil god's Qi field can enter this area.

I looked back at Lao Yang, who was obviously having a hard time getting used to Fantianyin's irritability, and was pacing anxiously.

The fact that the evil qi can't come in doesn't mean that I can't perceive them, on the contrary, as the demonic qi is driven away by the Qi field of Fantian Yin, my sense of various Qi fields has become acute again, and I can feel that outside of Fantianyin's Qi field, the corpse qi has reappeared. And the cave wall in front of us has also undergone some changes.

Vein-like roots appeared on the originally bare stone walls, and these roots covered every inch of the stone wall densely, the thickest sections of roots were overwhelmed and rotten, and the small roots that surrounded them were very smooth.
