Chapter Eighty-Four: Blackwater Swamp
The place of sealing is westward, and at the entrance to the middle of the Ancient Forest, there is a wide range of stone forests, and the dense stone pillars are gray-brown and disorderly arranged, some of which go deep into the ground, only showing a little head, and some are five or six meters high above the ground. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 A gust of cold wind passed through the stone forest, blowing on the stone pillars, making a piercing whine. Because no one has cared about this place for many years, there are many green bryophytes growing on many stone pillars.
At this time, a group of people and horses slowly walked from the middle of the stone forest, all of them were wearing white Taoist robes, tall and tall, their faces were covered with a layer of white gauze scarves, and a dark cyan bamboo leaf was embroidered on the chest and corner of the Taoist robe, which was the disciple of Daozhou Sunuguan.
It's just that at this time, the aura of the five figures was slightly unstable, and the white clothes on the two disciples were torn in many places, and there were even spots of blood. The five men were holding long swords and walked cautiously, making a very slight sound with each step they took when they landed on the ground. At the front of the team was a beautiful woman of eighteen or nineteen, whose smart eyes were always watching the surroundings of the stone forest, in case of accidents.
"Whoosh!"
A black stone pillar half a meter high in front of a few people suddenly shattered, and a monster three or four meters long drilled out of the ground, without a nose and eyes, and its whole body was in a spiral shape, opening a huge mouth full of black teeth, and it was about to open its mouth to bite down on several people.
"Earthworm Beast! everyone be careful!" The woman at the front screamed, and reacted at the first time when the monster broke out of the ground, her body jumped up, the long sword in her hand stood up in front of her chest, and a circle of golden light surged all over her body, and she went towards the long sword, and shouted sharply from the woman's mouth, "Chop!"
The long sword suddenly flew out, forming a golden rainbow of two or three feet in the air, and slashed at the earthworm beast with a sword.
"Wow!" the earthworm beast let out a strange roar, feeling an instinctive danger from the golden longsword, and hurriedly twisted its head to the side to dodge, but it was still a step slower, and the golden longsword slashed directly along the lower half of the earthworm beast's body.
"Bang!" the two severed bodies fell to the ground with a dull sound. The upper body of the earthworm beast let out a mournful roar, and its body writhed rapidly, quickly rushing into the pit that it had just jumped out of, and disappeared, leaving only a small half of its tail still writhing and slapping on the ground.
"Let's go! This stone forest is a little weird, everyone should be careful. The woman fell down slightly, waved her hand to withdraw the long sword in the air, and said to the girls behind her, and then the few people ignored the small half of the earthworm beast corpse on the ground, and continued to walk forward.

The same scene was constantly being staged on the edge of the Ancient Forest, and after more than half a month of the Valley Trial, all the teams were slowly marching towards the direction of the Ancient Forest.
............
Directly west of the sealed place, more than ten miles away from the Shuangtou Peak, there is an endless black mountain forest, in front of the black forest, a narrow river meanders and stretches, with the river as the boundary, the entire black jungle is naturally separated from the green mountains on the other side.
On both sides of the winding river, there are also swamps up to a kilometer wide, scattered in the swamp are stacked with piles of snow-white animal skeletons, from time to time bursts of white smoke, occasionally a bucket-sized anaconda rolls from the swamp, capturing prey around the swamp.
A day later, in the mountains and forests on the west side of Shuangtou Peak, five cyan figures slowly walked, four men and one woman, and the leader of the team was a beautiful woman covered with green veils, which was Mengchen who crossed the Shuangtou Peak and moved towards the direction of the ancient forest.
After a day's rest, the energy of several people was restored to the best state, and the fatigue caused by the continuous rush also dissipated, so several people stopped staying, and passed through the double-headed peak in one fell swoop, heading towards the ancient forest.
"After the blackwater swamp in front, there is the Ancient Forest on the other side. Several people came to an open stone platform, Mengchen stopped, looked at the black jungle opposite, and said softly.
"According to the information in the sect, this river is only more than ten meters wide, and it can be flown through by using the technique of light body, but the swamps on both sides of the river are as wide as a thousand meters, and there is a kind of acquired python that lives in groups in the swamp, which is very difficult. Mu Chen also took a step forward, looked at the swamp not far in front of him, and muttered.
Mengchen nodded, looked at the swampy area in front of him with a flat gaze, and said softly, "This swampy area is not too dangerous for the innate cultivator, but it is difficult for the acquired disciple to cross it alone. ”
"If we take a detour, we will use four or five more days, and there will be some risks in the upper and lower reaches of the swamp, such as the Wind Swallowing Stone Forest. Now that the trial has been going on for more than half a month, the other teams should be rushing here one after another, and we don't have much time to waste. ”
"So, I think it's better to go straight over this swamp and go straight to the ancient forest on the other side. ”
When Mu Chen and the others heard this, they all nodded, and everyone was used to this beautiful senior sister's arrangement along the way, so naturally there was no objection at this time.
Seeing this, Mengchen pondered for a while and continued, "Senior Brother Muchen, you take Liu Mu with you, I take Luo Xuan, and as for Ye Cang, because he has reached the innate realm, he can already pass through this swamp on his own. ”
"Okay, just according to what Senior Sister said. Mu Chen nodded in response, then looked at Liu Mu who was carrying a big knife on his back, and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Liu, let's go, Senior Brother should hurry up." ”
When the words fell, Mu Chen's figure flashed, appeared directly next to Liu Mu, grabbed his left arm, and then the spiritual power surged, and a cyan spiritual power suddenly covered the two of them, and with a slight jump, he floated directly to the swamp in front of him.
"Let's go. Seeing Mu Chen and the two leaving, Mengchen also turned around, glanced at Luo Xuan, and said softly. Then his body changed, grabbed one of Luo Xuan's arms, and poured out a circle of fiery red spiritual power to wrap the two of them, and also flew towards the swamp.
In the blink of an eye, only Ye Cang was left on the stone platform. Looking at the four people who had already set off in front of him, Ye Cang smiled slightly, a light purple spiritual power poured out of his body, and his toes tapped the stone face, and he also turned into an afterimage and jumped forward.
As soon as he entered the swamp area, Ye Cang felt a fishy smell coming, and hurriedly let go of his divine thoughts, enveloping the nearby thirty meters range, and suddenly the slightest movement in the nearby swamp area was reflected in Ye Cang's mind.
"Hiss~"
Flying out only about 100 meters, the head of a spotted python the thickness of a bucket suddenly jumped out of the water from the right front, and the whole body bent into a bow, and it was about to bite down on Ye Cang.
The corners of Ye Cang's mouth curled slightly, and a circle of lilac spiritual power surged from the sword in his hand, and with a wave of his hand, a light purple sword shadow was formed, which slashed at the head of the giant python in an instant, and passed directly through the giant python's body. The python jumped up at no faster speed, and continued to fly upwards for some distance, and when it reached the highest point, its head suddenly separated, splashing a pool of blood, and slamming into the swamp below.
The blood and qi dispersed, instantly dyed the area below red, and after a while, strange snakes came from all directions, opening their mouths and biting at the place where the giant python fell, and in four or five breaths, the giant python was left with a white skeleton.
At this time, Ye Cang had already flown more than ten meters away, and felt the blood behind him in his mind, and a chill surged in his heart, if he accidentally fell into the swamp below, it would be really more auspicious, so his spiritual power was highly concentrated again, and he used the Qingling Gong Body Technique to continue to fly forward.
"Well, it seems to be a blood spirit fruit!" Continuing to walk a distance of about five hundred meters, Ye Cang felt in his mind that at the edge of a quagmire in front of him, an emerald green plant appeared, the whole body of the plant was turquoise, and there were two fiery red spirit fruits hanging at the top of the vegetation, and there were no other animals in a radius of fifty meters around the vegetation, only the bones of some animals were scattered.
"It's weird, but it's recorded in the Hundred Grass Diagram that this Blood Spirit Fruit is the main medicinal material for refining the Blood Returning Pill, which is extremely rare in the outside world," Ye Cang noticed the strangeness around him in his heart, but thinking of the record of the Blood Spirit Fruit in the Hundred Grass Diagram, after weighing it slightly, he still decided to pick this Blood Spirit Fruit easily.
"Senior sister, there are two blood spirit fruits in front, I'll go and get them back!" The decision in his heart has been made, Ye Cang no longer hesitated, and during the flight, he directly transmitted the sound to Mengchen Dao not far ahead.
The words fell, and before Mengchen could react, Ye Cang's figure flashed, and he rushed in the direction of the Blood Spirit Fruit. At the same time, the power of divine thoughts in the Mud Pill Palace spread, instantly enveloping the surrounding fifty-meter range, and then flipped in his hand, and a pale yellow long sword appeared in his hand, which was the sand-containing spirit sword in the mountain and sea cave. After breaking through to the innate realm, Ye Cang took out this sword for the first time and used it.
The distance of more than ten meters was instantaneous, Ye Cang came to the top of the blood spirit fruit in a few flashes, felt that there was still no abnormality around him, and his heart relaxed slightly, and then his body sank slightly, leaning towards the blood spirit fruit below, the wind in the palm of his empty left hand surged, exuding a suction, "whoosh" twice, and the two ripe red fruits were caught in Ye Cang's hands.
Looking at the spirit fruit in his hand, Ye Cang smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and wanted to fly upwards to catch up with the figures of Mengchen and several others.
"Hiss!" But at this moment, a cold voice came, Ye Cang felt a biting cold behind him, as if he was being targeted by some kind of monster, and instinctively, Ye Cang quickly moved two positions to the right. At the same time, with a slight pick of the sand spirit sword in his hand, a light purple sword shadow swept out and slashed towards the position just now.
"Bang!" A sound of gold and iron intertwined came, Ye Cang retreated five or six meters backwards under the shock of the sword qi before he stabilized his body, and then looked at it and found that in the place just now, I don't know when a gray python with a thickness of one meter and a length of more than ten meters appeared, with a fiery red snake crown on its head, and two blood-red eyes open, staring at him coldly. At its neck, two scales were severed, revealing the blood-red snake flesh within.
"Innate peak demon beast, blood crown python!" Seeing the demon beast in front of him clearly, Ye Cang's heart sank, and he screamed bitterly.
