Chapter 244: A Wall
The strangeness of Xiangxi is not only its ubiquitous heavenly fragrance qi, nor is it just that Qin Que sensed the condensation power that disappeared with the passage of the demon insect before, and the appearance of this river itself is also strange enough.
Qin Que didn't pay much attention to it at first, but he found that the Xiangxi riverbed was very different from the riverbed he knew, there was no soft mud and gravel, and there was no undulating terrain.
It's just that it's flat, it's nothing, what makes Qin Que more cautious in his heart is that the bottom of the river is as hard as a golden stone, and he tried to use his strength under his feet to try how strong it is, Qin Que suddenly found that it was stronger than a magic weapon, and if he wanted to break through the bottom of the river, he had to at least use the power of a flying sword to do it. Such a riverbed, coupled with the strange Xiangxi, this is not what a natural river should look like at all, think about the legend of the Luo A clan, here is really a powerful predecessor with boundless means, Xuan Arcane Spell arrangement?
It's just that what kind of means and what kind of arrangement is this, Qin Que can't do anything, let his divine sense sweep it, whether it is in the water of the Xiangxi River that flows slowly and slowly, or on the riverbed that is as solid as gold and stone, there is not a trace of the formation prohibition breath that he can sense.
The more this is the case, the more strange this fragrant stream becomes, and Qin Que is more and more cautious in his heart, and when he is cautiously continuing to cross the past step by step to find the traces of the demon insects, Qin Que sees a gray and dark shadow that suddenly rises in front of him.
The shadow is not high, only a few feet, but it does not see its head in the direction of the flow of Xiangxi in the front, and it does not see the end in the direction of the river in the backwards, just like a gray-black wall built at the bottom of the Xiangxi River.
Mo said that the world of cultivation is nothing strange in the vast mortal world, it is rumored that the sea can change mulberry fields, and today's ravines may be thousands of mountains in the past, and a city or a stockade falls into the bottom of the river, leaving only the stone wall and gray and black wall shadow is nothing.
But the long gray and black wall in front of him is obviously not the case, if there is such a wall, even if you don't inquire about it, you will definitely hear many rumors.
After staring at it for a while, Qin Que finally discovered that the dark wall was not really a wall, but a gathering of hundreds of billions of demon insects.
What is the matter with the construction of a wall deep at the bottom of the river, and what is it to contain? What is it necessary to intercept something? But what can this gray wall of only a few feet contain, and what can it intercept.
After recognizing the figure of the demon insect in the gray wall, Qin Que not only did not solve his doubts, but had more questions.
Without rushing closer to investigate, Qin Que even retracted his divine sense and only wandered around him for a few feet, staring only at the wall condensed by the gambling insect tide with his eyes.
After looking at it for a while, I didn't see much movement, but it was not without change, and the color of the wall became a little lighter, from the previous gray and black to the dark gray now.
Finally, Qin Que, who couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, took another step and cautiously approached the wall of insect tides, until he could clearly see the specific figure of the demon insect on the wall in his eyes.
Lying down, Qin Que stared at the dense layers of demon insects more than a dozen zhang away.
Qin Que saw that one by one the demon insects opened their back elytra membrane wings and flapped rapidly, and after a few breaths, they seemed to be tired, so they retracted their wings to rest, and after a few breaths, they opened their wings again. And over and over again.
One or two are nothing, but they are like this on the wall of the dark gray insects for an unknown number of years, and millions or even billions of demon insects flash their wings at the same time, which can be described as spectacular.
The long wall went from dark gray to gray to light gray again, and is still fading.
What has changed is the wall, and it is also a demon insect, they have faded a lot from the original jet-black, especially the elytra on their backs, which have changed from jet-black to almost transparent like their lower membranous wings, if it weren't for the monk's eyesight, and the Qin Que has been staring at them without being distracted, maybe they won't be able to find the soft and hard wings behind them for a while.
This movement is really strange, what are these countless demon insects doing, is that fading black demon yuan or something, and where has it gone.
As Qin Que became more and more puzzled in his heart, the color of the gray wall built by the insect tide became lighter and lighter, not only the two pairs of wings on the back, but even the body shape began to turn from black to gray, until half an hour later, the entire gray wall was almost transparent.
Just as Qin Que was considering whether to probe a trace of divine sense to explore the past, the demon insect army moved.
In a breath, the gray wall suddenly began to collapse, layer after layer, and the demon insects that fell off the wall returned along the way they came.
Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, he also took back the protective divine sense, and as he had done before, he restrained his breath and let these demon insects pass over him.
Bang bang bang, Qin Que was on the way back from the demon insects, and just like before, many demon insects that came straight over directly bumped into him.
Unlike the previous time, this time there was not a single demon insect that tried to gnaw at Qin Que, most of the demon insects that hit Qin Que dodged to both sides, bypassing Qin Que and continuing to move forward, and a small part of them landed in front of Qin Que and stayed.
Listening to the movement in his ears, Qin Que, who was puzzled in his heart, slowly opened his eyes a little, and saw that there was a small pile in front of him, made of dozens of demon insects, and the demon insect army behind them automatically separated when they arrived at the small pile, and they did not close again until they bypassed behind him.
"Huh, are they all dead?" At a glance, Qin Que found that the small pile of demon insects in front of him had all lost their breath. His eyes glanced at the demon insects passing by on both sides, and their breath was much weaker, although they were still half the size of a brick, they seemed to be just a beetle that had been hit harder.
The surprised Qin Que looked at it for a while, and finally carefully poked out a trace of divine sense.
Compared with what he saw with his eyes, his divine sense scanned it out more clearly, not that he was wrong, the original first-grade and second-grade demon insects had lost half of the demon yuan, and it had really become just an ordinary beetle dragon lice that was much larger and lighter in color.
Ever since he entered the cultivation world, Qin Que knew that the path of cultivation was only to move forward, but it was impossible to retreat. Once you retreat, there is a possibility that you will disappear or even fall, even if you survive, the damage to your body is not as good as before. For example, Fang De at the beginning, when he was in the sea realm, he injured the sea of qi, and after falling back to the Tongqi realm, his strength was not as good as that of a monk in the late stage of the Tongqi or even the middle stage of the Tongqi, if he hadn't happened to meet Qin Que, Fang De would have been entangled with the injuries in his body for the rest of his life.
The many demon insects in front of him are different, without the demon element, they were born from the demon beast and fell back to the mortal insect, but their bodies were not damaged at all, at least they didn't find anything wrong with these insects with Qin Que's divine sense.
It's just that what happened to these dozens of insects that died in front of him, after looking at it for a while, Qin Que came to a conclusion that made him shake his head but it was very probable, they were killed by themselves, just like some galloping rabbits would not see the stump in front of them and hit their heads, these monsters were killed after hitting their bodies.
In the dark night, the most mysterious thing is that it is no longer astringent, and it is also as wonderful as the black crow disappearing into the night sky to accommodate the surrounding environment. If your eyesight is good enough, you can naturally see the crows in the dark night, but these dragon lice-like beetles, not to mention that they have no demon yuan at the moment, and they have become ordinary beetles, even when the demon yuan is in their body, with their realm of one product and two products, they can't find the Qin Sparrow that is slightly different from the surrounding water flow. It seems to be a flow of water, but in fact, Qin Que's body is not much worse than a stubborn stone, and the beetle that lost the demon yuan at the beginning and was still traveling at the usual speed could not withstand such a shock, so such a strange scene appeared.
Whether it was as he guessed or not, Qin Que didn't have the heart to care about these insects that no longer threatened in the slightest, Qin Que was more concerned about where their demon yuan had gone, and what was happening at the location of the insect wall that was still collapsing at the moment.
A wisp of consciousness approached the crumbling insect wall.
After a few breaths, he found that all the demon insects were the same as those beside him, and there was no trace of demon beast breath on the entire wall.
Before he could get closer, Qin Que stopped again, just because he saw another wall.
It's not a wall of insects built by hundreds of millions of demon insects, after the collapse of the insect wall, there really is still a wall.
In other words, the disappearance of the demon elements on the bodies of countless demon insects is inseparable from this long wall? Without getting closer to the past, Qin Que urged his divine sense to investigate carefully, and as the demon insects attached to it kept collapsing and retreating from the Xiangxi riverbed under him, Qin Que gradually saw the appearance of the long wall at the bottom of the river. The wall was black and gray, the material could not be detected, and there was no breath flashing, and after many sweeps, Qin Que did not notice the fluctuation of the formation prohibition.
Not to mention the strange movement of hundreds of millions of demon insects just now, not to mention all the miracles in this fragrant stream, Qin Que also saw some faint lines on the black and gray wall from a distance, so he would never think that this long wall was an ordinary wall.
Stopping in the water, looking at the feet more than two zhang wide, along the lines of the unknown gray wall, Qin Que frowned for a while. These looming, seemingly absent lines, like rune strokes, but they are not finally connected into complete runes, if this is really a rune stroke, this rune is inevitably too large.
Unconsciously, the sound of rustling stopped, and hundreds of millions of demon insects had all retreated and disappeared, looking at the wall not far in front of him, Qin Que didn't think about whether to go over and explore it carefully for a while.
At this time, Qin Que's expression suddenly changed, and in the water of the Xiangxi River, the condensation power of Xiangxi that he hadn't felt for a long time suddenly flashed again, although it was not much, it was far from making Qin Que feel restrained like before, and it was enough to make Qin Que feel alert.
Looking at the long wall with black and gray stripes, Qin Que suppressed his curiosity, and then turned around and wanted to go back to the river bank and go up the mountain stream like a demon insect, but before he could swim, Qin Que suddenly wondered: "He is also here?"
