Chapter 49 · Abnormal movements
When the guide people planned to enter the depths of Shidu Township to find out, Yi Kui and Bai Qingjiu had already reached the edge of the Forest of Thorns. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Looking back, the thorny vines were still daunting, and the vines thick with buckets and interwoven blood webs occasionally slid and wriggled in the air, making a slight sound of swaying. The blood-red branches in the eyes were entangled together and extended inward, gradually engulfed by the darkness.
And where they are now, is a dividing line.
The inward step was still the stunningly thick giant thorns, and the outward step was completely different, these thorns had become normal again, the size of a few people, mostly the thickness of a bowl. Compared to the giant thorns in the depths, these crossing thorns now look like they are undernourished and stunted.
Looking at the thorns in front of him that were gradually thinning out of the pool, Yi Kui's spirits lifted.
Qingjun also showed a smile on his face, and looked back at Bai Qingjiu and said, "The scene of this thorn forest is really peculiar, and the gap between it and the thorns outside is so big. If it weren't for the danger, it might even be a place of interest. ”
Bai Qingjiu wiped away the slight sweat stains on his forehead, and replied slowly: "After the Great Collapse, which of these Jedi is not a strange scene, which is breathtaking, Shidu Township is just ten quagmires." I heard that the wonder of swallowing snow is shocking, ice and snow cover, eternal and unchanging, with the god ice wall as the separation, thousands of lonely peaks outside the wall, and thousands of miles of abyss inside the wall. Those who lack strength will be instantly frozen into ice sculptures as soon as they step into the Snow Swallowing Domain. In addition to the Snow Swallowing Domain, the Fire Cloud Sea, the Earth Evil Heart and other peerless domains also have their own characteristics. ”
Yi Kui didn't know much about this world, and the so-called Peerless Domain was just a few words on the Continent Chronicles. Listening to her say this, my interest doubled, and I secretly thought that I would have to make up for these things in the future.
Suddenly, he remembered a question that had been bothering him since he went deep into the swamp, and with Bai Qingjiu beside him, he asked, "Do you know how this forest of thorns was formed? How is it that the deeper you go into the thorns, the stronger and denser it becomes? In the center of this swamp, there are not many blood food that can be found in the center of the thorns, right?"
Bai Qingjiu was slightly stunned, thought for a while, and said, "You seem to have such a problem as soon as you say it, but I have never seen a split and bred thorn vine in the Forest of Thorns. The big man in the Imperial Guard was kicked to the thorns by you before, and the thorn vines didn't split after he was eaten, right?"
Yi Kui nodded: "It's really not, this Forest of Thorns is really full of mysteries, and the thorn vines inside look like they have grown for hundreds of years." He looked around for a moment, and then said, "The vines in the Forest of Thorns are distinct from the vines outside, and they are very different in size, and it is a strange situation to appear in the same environment. Could it be that there are still varieties of thorns in this pond?"
Speaking of this, Bai Qingjiu didn't know what the reason was, but said: "I haven't been to Shidu Township in the past, so I don't know the environment here. But the powerful seniors around me have never mentioned it, to be more precise, it should be that the people around me who have gone deep into Shidu Township have not paid attention to this, maybe there is some unknown reason, but it doesn't matter, everyone takes the Forest of Thorns for granted......"
She didn't know why, Yi Kui could only give up.
Seeing that the girl's face was pale, he said: "You and I have traveled all the way after the previous war, and you have no chance to rest, now that it is safe for the time being, let's rest here for a while, and you can also breathe and breathe." ”
Bai Qingjiu glanced at him with a little gratitude, took out the Hui Qi Pill from his mustard seed ring, closed his sparkling eyes slightly, and breathed on the spot.
Yi Kui was also very tired, and he also took a Qingxin Pill and slowly adjusted his state.
Qingxin pills have the effect of warming the mind and refreshing the mind. As soon as you take your mouth, it melts in your mouth like mints, and a cold breath rushes straight to your mind, which makes people's minds clear.
It had been a long time since they entered Shidu Township, and according to his estimates, it was probably close to fifteen hours. After he forcibly overdrew his mind to condense that particular ice pick, the exhaustion in his brain kept coming up like a tide.
But in such a dangerous environment, he simply couldn't take the time to sleep to completely recover his spirits. Only relying on these drugs to temporarily maintain a clear mind is better than nothing.
Since entering Shidu Township for so long, the rotten sweet miasma in the swamp has penetrated deep into the spleen and lungs. Especially after entering the Forest of Thorns, the rotten incense won a great victory, and the impact was quite great, and now he only felt that his hands and feet were stiff, and his joints were as if he had not been lubricated for hundreds of years, and his actions were already very powerless.
Now that the red roots have been collected, and Bai Qingjiu, a little girl, knows the way back, and the primary election is close at hand, the top priority is naturally to return quickly, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
Ever since he met those two Fifth Guard cultivators, an alarm had sounded in his heart.
Although the flying note was not issued, the people on the other side probably wouldn't know that they had cleared out the guards. But nothing is absolute, who knows if those Imperial Guard people will have other ways to find out, and whether they will chase them out early?
Bai Qingjiu has now lost his strength, and he himself is not an opponent of cultivators above the Quadruple Heavens, I heard that there are at least a dozen people in a small detachment, and it is definitely a mortal situation if it falls into the hands of more than a dozen Quadruple Heavens masters.
Thinking like this, there was a faint layer of anxiety in his chest, and it seemed that he could no longer waste time.
Yi Qi opened his eyes and saw that Bai Qingjiu was still pranayama, but his complexion had already shown a touch of ruddyness, and it looked good.
He stood up, heard his sound, and Bai Qingjiu also opened his eyes.
"How's your recovery? We'd better get back as soon as possible. ”
The girl nodded, "The Immortal Yuan has recovered two or three points, let's hurry up." As he spoke, he got up immediately, but he didn't want her to be unstable, so he fell back again.
Bai Qingjiu's complexion changed, he tried to move his body, bit his lip and said: "Before, I was overdrawn by the Immortal Yuan, it should be that my body was not protected by the Immortal Yuan, and this rotten miasma took the opportunity to secretly erode me a lot. Now my whole body is stiff, and it is a little difficult to control after sitting for a while. ”
Yi Xiao frowned and stretched out his hand to her, "Can you still move?"
Bai Qingjiu only hesitated slightly, then put his slender fingers like shallots on Yi Xiao's palm, stood up with his strength, and replied in a low voice: "It's okay, let's go quickly, I'm afraid I really won't be able to move if I delay any longer......"
When she got up, the touch that Yi Qi came from her hand sensed that her body was trembling slightly with every movement, and it seemed that she had reached her limit.
At this time, Bai Qingjiu, how could she still see her light and elegant figure when she first entered the swamp.
I have to say that the miasma in this Shidu Township is really vicious.
"Well, I'm also being forced to move by this rotten poison. However, as long as the danger of getting out of the Forest of Thorns is reduced, we don't have to stop any more halfway, let's go straight out of the valley......"
However, before Yi Kui's words fell, a dull loud noise suddenly came from the depths of the Forest of Thorns.
"Knock ————"
The sound of the person was as if it had been in the ground for too long, and suddenly broke through the mud, heavy and long, as if it resounded in the bottom of the human heart.
Yi Xiao was taken aback, "How do you ......?"
With a loud bang, the path beneath the ground began to tremble, and some of the gravel bones at the edge rolled into the swamp without even a bubble before they could be seen. At the same time, the surface of the originally boiling swamp actually froze again at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the surface was instantly covered with a layer of mud.
In a short period of time, it went from extreme heat to extreme cold, and the sound of explosions bursting everywhere in the swamp suddenly appeared, and frozen mud debris was splashed everywhere.
And the thorns that had been layered on top of their heads to form a blood net actually all began to writhe wildly, and in the next second, the entire blood net like a cloud covered with a cloud completely collapsed, and a giant vine thicker than a pregnant woman's waist was overwhelmingly pressed down.
The change came quickly and quickly, and before the two of them could take any action, the world was turned upside down.
Yi Xiao's pupils shrank suddenly, and a cool breath rushed from the center of his feet to the top of his head, shouting in his heart that it was not good, if it was in his heyday, he would naturally be able to avoid these thorn vines that were pressed down indiscriminately with his reflexes. Not to mention Bai Qingjiu, with her strength, she would have already floated more than a dozen feet away.
But now the two of them are at the end of their crossbows under the destruction of miasma, and Bai Qingjiu is even more reluctant to walk.
In an instant, the huge vines were already close in front of her, Yi Kui pushed her forward and shouted coldly: "Go!"
Bai Qingjiu was sent by him with skillful force, staggered forward, and happened to pass through the gap under the thorny vine in front of him.
And Yi Kui could only reluctantly roll into the swamp with his experience, narrowly avoiding one of the vines smashed from above, as long as he was a fraction of a second, he would be scraped off a layer of skin if he didn't die.
The weight of the thick vines was terrifying, and the strong wind and the splinters that smashed into the frozen soil were sharper than the blades, immediately leaving bloody wounds on Yi Yan's face.
But that wasn't the end of it, he just dodged one, followed by another vine and pressed down!
When he dodged the previous vine, he had already tumbled into the swamp, although the swamp was frozen, but how could it withstand the force of the vine's smashing, Yi Xiao, who was clinging to the vine, suddenly fell into the smashed swamp.
In a predicament, he still wanted to dodge the second vine that followed him, but he was already powerless, so he could only temporarily activate the Protective Stream Technique and fight it.
Yi Qi's face turned blue, and he had already pinched the jade bead of the word rune in his hand, he really didn't think that the thin water ring of the Streaming Technique would have any effect on this vine, it would be difficult to fall short here!
At the last moment, a little light reflected in Yi Qi's dark pupils, and an ice blade as thin as a cicada's wings slashed like lightning, and the blade brought a stream of light and shadow along with the blue frost mist, hitting the rattan above Yi Qi's head fiercely.
Although it was not cut, it pulled out a long opening, and also deflected the momentum of the entire rattan, buying him a few seconds.
Yi Xiao's eyes flashed, and he shook out a stream of water that entwined the vines beside him, pulled it suddenly, and pulled himself out of the quagmire.
After crawling back to the path in embarrassment, he ran hard in the direction of Bai Qingjiu with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
