Chapter 1017: The End (I)
But this is just the beginning, according to the description of Qi Fei, the first disciple of the resurrected Heart Water Sect, the total number of their group has exceeded a thousand, accounting for about thirty percent of the total number of people sent by the various sects to search for treasures in this small world.
When these young elites of the major factions who came back from the dead on the swamp were still in a trance and did not wake up, Meng Siao did not care about them anymore, but continued to walk towards the inside along the extension of this swamp.
"Brother Meng, don't be careless!" Seeing his figure drifting away, Luo Wuru and Tang Yunshan both chased after him.
Meng Siao glanced back at the two of them, and said with a faint smile: "The exercises I practice are very sensitive to changes in the power of the five elements. So you don't need to worry about my safety, if you sense the existence of the 'Zhuxian Vine', I will naturally respond in advance. ”
After Luo Wuru and Tang Yunshan glanced at each other, he said, "Then call a few more brothers to go with you, at least, I can protect the Dharma for you when you resurrect those people." ”
"It's fine. After thinking about it, Meng Siao didn't refuse this suggestion, "I'll take five people in, and the rest of the people, let's preside over the order here." Just in case, let these resurrected people leave the swamp first. ”
"Brother Luo will bring someone to stay and preside over the overall situation, and I will take four people to go in with Brother Meng. Tang Yunshan said.
Luo Wuru also knew the reason for his arrangement, after all, there were still a few people who knew about the Yunzhou Tang Sect, but he, an old core seed disciple of the Taiyi Sect, was probably very rare to say that there were still disciples of the major sects here who didn't recognize him.
At the moment, he didn't shirk either, and the group was quickly distributed, Tang Yunshan took four people and went towards the swamp with Meng Siao, while the remaining few people, under the auspices of Luo ruthlessly, arranged the aftermath of these resurrected disciples of the major factions in the swamp.
The doppelganger was naturally among Tang Yunshan's five people, which was the only reason why Meng Siao did not refuse Tang Yunshan to bring people to follow him before.
Right now, he still needs the identity of the disciple of the Yushan Sect as a cover, so naturally he can't let people see that the two are actually the same person.
At the end of the swamp is a lush basin of fields, and the ground and the surrounding mountain walls are covered with verdant plants, some weeds, some vines, but not a single tree is in sight.
There are terrifying spiritual plants such as "Zhuxian Vine", and when Tang Yunshan and the others saw this piece of verdant, everyone's nerves immediately tensed.
Only Meng Siao, because he has the seedlings of the strongest spiritual plant "World Tree" in the wood system, can clearly sense that there is no trace of "Zhuxian Vine" in this basin.
However, it was precisely because of this that a trace of doubt also rose in his heart.
The spirit plant of "Zhu Immortal Vine" is not uncommon in the universe, and there is a description of this spirit plant in the mysterious power of the immortal tomb that has been passed down to him for a lifetime.
This is a kind of spiritual plant between the Xuan and Yellow Levels, and it is a very rare "carnivorous" type among the spiritual plants, which does not rely on absorbing the aura of heaven and earth and the essence of the five elements to grow, but completely devours the flesh and blood of various creatures to strengthen itself.
In the universe, many immortals will buy the "Zhuxian Vine" artificially cultivated by the "Spirit Master" as a kind of defense on the periphery of their caves.
However, this kind of spirit plant has an Achilles heel that all spirit plants have.
That's the force of movement.
The "Zhuxian vine" preys on its extended vines, but these vines, no matter how long they are, definitely have a limit.
And from Qi Fei's mouth just now, it can be known that the "Zhuxian Vine" that chased and killed them all was almost a full distance of more than ten miles after them, which was already far beyond the limit that a "Zhuxian Vine" vine could grow.
Therefore, Meng Siao had guessed before that these "Zhuxian vines" were planted separately according to a certain distance.
However, at this time, after crossing the entire swamp, there was not the slightest breath of "Zhuxian Vine" on the vast basin in front of him, which had to make him suspicious.
"Look, there's a monk's corpse over there!" Just as he was frowning and pondering, the disciple of the Treasure Refining Sect who came along with him had already pointed in one direction and shouted.
Everyone followed the direction of his finger and saw a corpse lying in the grass.
The weeds here are so dense that they don't get enough of the corpses to see where they are.
"It's similar to the swamp, it seems that it was also strangled by the 'Zhuxian Vine'. Tang Yunshan and the disciple of the Treasure Refining Sect cautiously approached the past, and after a while, they turned to Meng Siao and the others and said.
Meng Siao's brows were furrowed a little tighter.
He vaguely felt that something seemed wrong, but for a while, he couldn't find it.
However, it is an indisputable fact that there is no existence of "Zhuxian vine" in this basin. Therefore, at the moment, he also put aside this doubt for the first time, and began to resurrect the disciples of the major sects buried here.
There were nearly four hundred more people, dozens more than those who died on the other side of the swamp.
"Brother Meng?" Tang Yunshan was briefly explaining what happened to the young monks who were first resurrected, when the corner of his eye suddenly skimmed to Meng Siao walking towards the side of the basin, and immediately hurriedly swept over, glanced in that direction, and asked, "Do you want to go deeper?"
Meng Siao nodded: "I think there seems to be something else going on with the 'Zhuxian Vine'. You know, but all spiritual plants are close to zero in terms of movement. However, from the time we crossed the swamp to here, the straight-line distance was two or three miles, but there was no trace of the 'Zhuxian Vine' at all. ”
Tang Yunshan was stunned for a moment, and then his brows furrowed deeply: "Do you suspect that the disciple of the Heart Water Sect named Qi Fei is lying?"
"Not really. Meng Siao shook his head and said, "I believe he should have seen the 'Zhuxian Vine', but I doubt that there is really such a thing as 'Zhuxian Vine'." ”
A completely inconsistent sentence, but Tang Yunshan understood: "You mean, they may be the same as us at the beginning, did they fall into the 'blood sacrifice' ritual and don't know if it was an illusion or something?"
"Quite possibly. Meng Siao pointed to the last few young monks who were still being resurrected by the "Great Resurrection Technique", and said in a deep voice, "I felt that something was wrong just now, but I couldn't find out what was wrong for a while. But now I suddenly figured it out - these are the corpses!"
