132. Purple moss
Zhao Yuan didn't expect such an inside story, he couldn't help but hesitate a little in his heart, he stared, and he still teleported out of the alien Xuanwu's body first.
The outside world is still full of grass and vitality, but the difference is that at this time, there is a black Xuanwu in front of Zhao Yuan, which is not much older than the old Xuanwu, lying on the ground with a dying breath.
Zhao Yuan looked at the big basin Xuanwu in front of him, and once again had doubts about his spiritual power, just now he clearly sensed that there was a huge monster outside!
"This Xuanwu should be a rarer space-based Xuanwu than me, hey, it's a pity......" Old Xuanwu said regretfully. "And it should be almost the ninth order, what it used just now was the prototype of the realm unique to the ninth order powerhouse. ”
"I'm also half-step ninth-order, why don't I have a domain?" Zhao Yuan felt strange in his heart. However, he himself knew that he didn't put much effort into cultivation at all, and it was normal for him to not comprehend this kind of profound thing.
So far, a silver light has flashed on Zhao Yuan's forearm, and the old Xuanwu suddenly appeared in front of the black Xuanwu. The black Xuanwu raised his eyelids, looked at the emerald green carapace, the radiant old Xuanwu glanced at it, and screamed twice, his eyes showing affection and envy.
Zhao Yuan didn't understand the turtle language, so he could only watch the two Xuanwu communicate, and after a while, the old Xuanwu sighed in Zhao Yuan's mind: "Hey, it's almost dead." ”
Zhao Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then listened to Lao Xuanwu continue: "It has been guarding here for thousands of years, and it suffered a heavy blow a few decades ago, and its longevity has been greatly reduced, and it is already the end of the strong crossbow when I see you." But it's okay this way, instead of being delirious and being controlled and used by others, it is better to rest in peace early. ”
Old Xuanwu's speech speed is always slow, and as he speaks, the black Xuanwu aura is getting weaker and weaker, and I'm afraid it won't last for a while.
"It lets us into its space. Old Xuanwu said. Zhao Yuan trusted Lao Xuanwu the most, and nodded without a little hesitation. Soon, a familiar pulling force came, but it was much weaker than before, Zhao Yuan did not resist, and was sucked in obediently. What appeared in front of him was the narrow black-red tissue, which was in the black Xuanwu body.
It seemed that because Zhao Yuan was in this Xuanwu body, he actually felt the fluctuation of consciousness emanating from that Xuanwu. The alien Xuanwu did not rely on its own innate breakthrough to the eighth order, and it did not have the bloodline of the divine beast, so it was still unenlightened and unable to understand human language. But the emotional fluctuations it emitted still made Zhao Yuan feel its calm at the moment, and even with a little joy, not at all like a life that was about to die.
Old Xuanwu seemed to have guessed Zhao Yuan's thoughts, and said to him: "The alien beasts themselves are not tolerated between heaven and earth, they are excluded from the population, and they can no longer obtain the power of the contract, if they encounter an existence stronger than them, they can only be forcibly formed by the other party, and become slaves who have lost their freedom, which is worse than the traitorous beast." Death is not necessarily a bad thing for them. ”
"The power of the contract...... Zhao Yuan thought for a moment, "Is there a god in charge of this? It's the same as the beast god expelling the rebel beast?"
"No, it's not under the control of the gods, it's the power of the law, and the gods must obey it. Old Xuanwu said.
Zhao Yuan blinked as if he didn't understand, it was the first time he had heard of such a high-level thing as the "law", it seemed that Lao Xuanwu really knew a lot.
During the communication between the two, the outside world has changed dramatically. At some point, the plants on the oasis suddenly began to wither, their roots began to wither and rot as soon as possible, and then the whole area of lush greenery fell into a carnival of corruption, but soon, the rotten plants became no different from silt, and the whole oasis disappeared in a few minutes, leaving only a swamp that was indistinguishable from the surrounding area.
Zhao Yuan, on the other hand, sank all the way in the belly of the black Xuanwu, and the monotonous time always passed very slowly. Zhao Yuan didn't know how long he was stunned, and suddenly a light flashed in front of him, and a black crystal nucleus had appeared in front of him.
"It gave me its crystal nucleus, you can help me keep it first. Old Xuanwu's voice sounded in Zhao Yuan's mind.
It was the first time Zhao Yuan had seen the black crystal nucleus, and he couldn't help but take it in his hand and look at it twice. The outer wall of this crystal nucleus glowed with an undetectable purple light, and it should have been a seventh-order Xuanwu before it turned into an alien.
It stands to reason that Zhao Yuan will have some appetite when he sees the crystal nucleus, but in the face of this black crystal nucleus, Zhao Yuan feels that what kind of rotten food is in front of him, revealing a disgusting taste. Thinking of what Old Xuanwu said before, he also secretly sighed in his heart, and put this crystal nucleus into the Seven Star Ring.
The next moment, Zhao Yuan was ejected from that space, and what suddenly appeared in front of him was a dark rock wall, on which unknown moss grew and exuded a faint green light. The entire rock wall is dotted with stars, and it is as beautiful as the starry sky.
Zhao Yuan looked down, and on the ground, a black Xuanwu with a basin was lying quietly on the ground, and there was no sound.
Zhao Yuan picked it up, the black carapace was cold and hard, there were no gorgeous patterns like the old Xuanwu, just ordinary vicissitudes of life, before it became a special-shaped Xuanwu, it was just an ordinary Xuanwu who relied on the increase in longevity to gain strength, and I don't know what it went through to become like this. But now, it has slept peacefully, and can no longer tell its story to the world.
Zhao Yuan also put his dead body into the Seven Star Ring, planning to wait until he went out to find a place to bury it. He looked around and saw that the cave seemed to be very wet, with the sound of dripping water in two or three places, and the glistening of water on the rock walls.
There is a deep corridor leading to the unknown darkness, which is convex and uneven, not like it has been dug by man. Zhao Yuan's spiritual power explored the depths along the corridor, but found that once the spiritual power left him ten meters away, it was inexplicably subjected to a resistance, and he couldn't move forward.
Why is this situation again, Zhao Yuan is a little upset, but he has come here, he still has to go and see, Zhao Yuan simply put on a suit of armor, and his mental power was alert to the nearby movements, and he walked into the corridor step by step.
The corridor looks dark and deep, but in fact, like the rock wall, it is dotted with countless moss that shimmers with green fragments.
Zhao Yuan didn't touch those mosses, the people of the elven clan had told him that all the plants that dared to shine were either carefully cultivated rare varieties, such as those glowing plants that could be seen everywhere in the elven fortress, or poisonous plants. Because they emit light, they are faintly noticeable by herbivores, and only with their poison can they deter those animals and monsters that are about to move.
Plants, like animals, have no survival skills, how to survive and reproduce in the natural environment.
"Tick, tick. The sound of water droplets is still ringing, neither light nor heavy, but it has been lingering in Zhao Yuan's ears. Zhao Yuan walked a few steps before he suddenly realized that something was wrong and stopped suddenly.
"Tick, tick. The sound of the drop of water was not far or near, and it sounded unhurriedly, making a hollow echo in this silent corridor.
Zhao Yuan turned his head slowly, his spiritual power tentacles had already been one step ahead of him, frantically searching for information around, but there was no trace of abnormal feedback.
Behind him, there was just a dark corridor, the same as before. Zhao Yuan raised his feet, step by step, and with the sound of his footsteps, the sound of water droplets seemed to be closer.
"Tick, tick. The surrounding rock walls were wet, and it was impossible to see where the water was dripping, Zhao Yuan stretched out his palm, and the five were slightly curved, "Poof!" A lively and dazzling flame instantly appeared on Zhao Yuan's palm, illuminating the entire corridor. With the orange firelight, those green lights also dimmed instantly, and Zhao Yuan saw clearly that the mosses that emitted bright light were a very gorgeous purple plant, and they were tightly attached to the stone wall, like a thin layer of velvet.
With the light of the fire, Zhao Yuan's vision became clear in an instant, he looked around, but still did not find the source of the sound, and the sound of water droplets disappeared the moment the firelight lit up. There was only the sound of Zhao Yuan's breathing in the entire space, and a strange feeling enveloped his heart. Finally, his eyes flashing in the reflection of the firelight, and he turned back and continued to walk deeper into the corridor.
The corridor was not a straight line, and soon, Zhao Yuan passed a turn that was close to a right angle, and then another similar distance.
In this way, after turning a few inexplicable corners, a different scenery finally appeared in front of Zhao Yuan.
Here, a big tree with a crown that goes straight to the top of the cave is standing majestically, it is not very tall, it is less than ten meters, but the trunk of the tree is like a wooden wall, and Zhao Yuan has a diameter of five or six meters.
Looking at the rhizomes spreading on the ground, Zhao Yuan suddenly realized something and extinguished the small fireball in his hand. Suddenly, the starry green light lit up in the cave again. Countless greens eventually converge in the center and become a large tree.
"Tick, tick. In the darkness, the sound of water droplets appeared again, right behind him! Zhao Yuan was distraught, turned around suddenly, and a magic shot was already in place. Hearing the sound of "bang!", the rock wall behind him was smashed into a small hole, and a faint sweet fragrance filled the air, Zhao Yuan's expression froze, and the fire light in his hand was re-lit, and he saw that the purple velvety moss that was evenly spread out on the rock wall had broken a hole, and the purple juice was slowly flowing out, and the sweet and greasy fragrance was coming from here.
Zhao Yuan intuitively felt that this fragrance was not a good thing, but he had little experience in exploration, and he had lived in a peaceful era since he was a child, so he did not hold his breath at the first time vigilantly. It's too late to hold your breath any longer.
