Chapter Eighty-Six: The Convergence of Parties
Crossing the Blackwater Swamp, Ye Cang and the others continued to move forward. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info With the experience of the Blackwater Swamp, the formation of five people remained the same on this part of the road, and they were always on guard against the environment on both sides of the jungle.
According to the information records of the sect, this black wood forest is active and wide, and the forest is full of several kinds of tall and dark betel nut ironwood, and there is often a leopard demon beast entrenched in the forest, which is known for its speed and likes to hide in the dark for sneak attacks. It's just strange that Ye Cang and the others traveled all the way, and they barely encountered a decent monster beast siege, as if the demon beasts in this huge jungle area had suddenly disappeared, which made the few people who were originally cautious all the way a little puzzled.
Three days later, a few people finally walked out of this black mountain forest, green plants began to appear in their field of vision, and the distant terrain suddenly became rugged, followed by an upward mountain road.
In front of the jungle, not far from the foot of the mountain, there is a slightly open space, a radius of 100 meters. At this time, broken branches fell on the ground, and the ground was in shambles within a radius of 100 meters, as if a tragic battle had just taken place here.
"Senior brother, there's a demon beast corpse there. At this time, Luo Xuan pointed to a place covered by tree branches and said loudly.
Several people hurriedly walked over, lifted the surrounding branches, and found a huge black bear four or five meters high on the ground, the head had been shattered, and there was a blood hole the size of a bowl at the neck of the black bear, and the blood seemed to have long been drained, and there was a pool of fresh blood lying on the ground.
"It's an iron-backed bear monster, it looks like it was fatal by a stick weapon, judging from the traces on the ground, the battle should have happened half a day ago. Mu Chen squatted down, examined the black bear's wound, and analyzed softly.
"Hmm, there seems to be someone there!" Then, Mu Chen frowned, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw an area covered with branches more than ten meters away, revealing a pale yellow cloth.
Mu Chen cautiously stepped forward, stopped beside a huge broken log, picked up the dense branches covered on the ground, and found a bald boy lying there, with multiple injuries on his body, his face seemed to be slapped with his bare hands, and on the corner of his chest, there was a simple word 'Tian' embroidered.
"It's someone from Tianyuan Temple!" Mu Chen saw the clothes on the young man's body clearly, and said in surprise, and several other people hurriedly walked over when they heard this.
"Judging from the injury, it should have been injured by brute force, presumably the people of Tianyuan Temple here had a tragic battle with the iron-backed bear demon before. Mu Chen saw the corpse of the young man on the ground, and said with a solemn face.
"With the strength of Tianyuan Temple, there are even disciples who have been poisoned by this, it seems that they must have encountered trouble that is difficult to solve. Mengchen nodded and said softly.
"We haven't encountered too much resistance from demon beasts along the way, I think something should have happened in the central area," after a slight mutter, Mengchen continued, "But since we have come here, let's move on, Luo Xuan and Liu Mu, you must always keep up, don't be careless." ”
When Luo Xuan and Liu Mu heard this, they hurriedly nodded yes. So the group stopped moving, crossed the area, and continued on their way.
In one day, several people climbed over seven or eight hills of about 100 meters, and once again saw many traces left by the battle along the way, and also found the corpses of several demon beasts, but they did not see the disciples of other sects who were injured to death again.
Just when a few people were on guard, a golden light tiger in the early stage of the innate period passed not far in front of several people, stopped lightly on top of a tall rock, looked back at Ye Cang and the others with cold eyes, and then continued to run forward directly.
"Keep up with it!" Mengchen whispered, and then a little under his feet, he swept out directly, and at the same time released his divine thoughts, closely following the golden light tiger in front of him, and Ye Cang and several people behind him also used their skills and followed.
Dodging left and right all the way, and continued to sneak forward for a distance of more than ten miles, the golden light tiger in front slowed down and stopped in front of a valley. Near the valley ahead, the trees began to thinn, and the air around them began to get warmer. I saw Jin Guanghu lingering at the mouth of the valley for a while, and after a little hesitation, he rushed into the mountain range and jungle on the side, and disappeared.
At this time, Ye Cang and the others went deep into the central area of the Ancient Forest.
Along the way, Ye Cang also released his divine thoughts to detect danger, and sensed no less than five or six innate demon beasts before and after, all of them rushed to the central region, even if they noticed the existence of Ye Cang and a few people, they directly chose to ignore it, which made Ye Cang's heart full of doubts.
A few people walked two or three miles further in the direction of the valley, and found that the surrounding trees were faintly purple-red, and the temperature in the air became hotter and hotter the further they went.
At this time, Mengchen slowed down his pace, and after a little sense, he pointed to the mountain peak on his side, and said, "Everyone go up the mountain from here." ”
Ye Cang and the others nodded, and they all used light body techniques, and quickly climbed up along the surrounding stone walls. Coming to a high place, Mengchen led a few people to dodge left and right, came to a stone platform covered by branches, and looked ahead.
I saw that in the valley less than 100 meters ahead, there was a deep red pool with a radius of more than 10 meters, and the fiery red magma in the pool was constantly rolling, and one or two sparks appeared from time to time, which was a natural magma pool on the bare surface. In the middle of the magma pool, a lotus-like reddish plant grows, and in the middle of the lotus grows a fiery red lotus pod, which has taken shape at this time, but is not yet mature.
At the end of the red pool, there is a cave that is more than one person high and goes deep into the stone wall.
At this time, on the edge of the fire pool, there were more than a dozen demon beasts of different shapes, and Ye Cang recognized at a glance that there were red-eyed pig demons, two-eared fire rats, and purple electric centipedes, almost all of which were fire attribute demon beasts in the innate realm. Several other demon beasts don't seem to be introduced in the mountain and sea map, and Ye Cang doesn't know much about them.
"That's the Fire Spirit Red Lotus?!" Ye Cang's gaze finally returned to the red lotus canopy in the middle of the fire pool, and he tried his best to search for the description of this thing in the hundred sketches, and said softly with uncertainty.
"That's right, it's a fire spirit red lotus that is about to mature, and it can generally only grow in the land of the Highest Sun where the fire attribute is extremely strong. Monks who practice fire-attribute exercises can directly improve the current exercises by a realm after taking them, and can also enhance the sensitivity of fire-attribute spiritual power, which is a treasure in the eyes of fire-attribute monks. At this time, Mengchen whispered on the side, and for the first time, his gaze at the Fire Spirit Red Lotus revealed a look of anticipation.
Hearing Mengchen's words, several people looked at the Fire Spirit Red Lotus again. Among the Qingye Guan group, Mengchen is the main cultivation method of the fire attribute exercise, if he can take the fire spirit red lotus, maybe he can break through the innate realm in one fell swoop, so everyone understands the importance of this fire spirit red lotus to Mengchen.
"There are so many demon beasts here!" Liu Mu looked at the group of demon beasts around the fire pool, and said in surprise, the first time he saw so many different demon beasts gathered together, it still had a lot of visual impact.
"These demon beasts are all innate demon beasts of the fire attribute, and they all seem to be waiting for the maturity of the fire spirit red lotus. Mu Chen said softly on the side.
"Don't say more, there are other horses nearby. At this time, Mengchen reminded softly.
Sure enough, as soon as Mengchen's words fell, a voice came from his ears, "Amitabha, it turned out that a few Taoist friends from Aoba Temple had arrived." ”
Several people hurriedly followed the prestige and found that more than ten zhang away from the southwest of the stone platform where they were, there was also a slightly wide stone platform, which was cleverly hidden behind a dark cyan giant tree. At this time, there were four figures standing on the stone platform, and they were the people of Tianyuan Temple who had cooperated in the Yam Garden behind the Taiyou Sect. It's just that the original team of five people is missing one person at this time, and the few people in front of them have more or less injuries.
"It turned out to be an empty ring Daoist," Mengchen also replied at this time, nodding lightly through the green yarn.
The empty ring folded his hands and returned the salute, his eyes swept over Mengchen and a few people, and when he looked at Ye Cang, he showed a hint of surprise, obviously he had already seen that Ye Cang had broken through to the innate realm.
"Senior sister, there seems to be a team in front of the left that has arrived early. Ye Cang whispered to Mengchen at this time.
"It's a team of plain women. Mengchen turned his head and looked at a tall giant tree in front of him, where five tall women were standing on a thick branch, all with white veils on their faces, who were the people of Daozhou Sunuguan.
At the same time as Mengchen looked over, a beautiful girl of eighteen or nineteen years old at the front of the Sunuguan also turned her head, looked over, nodded lightly and silently, and then returned to her original look again.
After a while, due east, there was also a slight sound, and then several figures jumped like apes, and a few flashes reached a stone platform in the eastern valley, hiding behind a dense bush, and the whole process did not seem to make any sound.
"It's the people of Xinfang Temple," Mu Chen looked up, noticed the figures of several people, and said softly. "But it looks like they're one less. ”
"It seems that several sects of people who entered the Ancient Forest have come here. Mengchen glanced in the direction of the people in Xinfang Temple and said softly.
Suddenly, Ye Cang felt a feminine gaze staring at him, raised his eyes, and found that on a raised mountain rock on the west side of the fire pool, several figures were hidden by trees, among which the leader was gently instigated with a folding fan in his hand, and was looking at himself with a smile, next to him was a dark-skinned, dark and strong young man, the two of them were the two of the Wind Cicada of the Imperial God Temple and the Xuantong of the Xuantie Temple.
There were six people standing behind the two of them, all of them more or less injured, and it seemed that during the time they entered the Ancient Forest, the two of them also suffered an accident and lost two of them.
"Now only the disciples of Lishan Nunnery have not arrived, and almost all the people from all the sects who have entered the sealed land have gathered here. Ye Cang retracted his gaze, glanced left and right at the people hidden around him again, and said softly in his heart.
Several parties noticed the existence of other teams at this time, but they all tacitly kept quiet, and their spiritual power was focused on the fire spirit red lotus below, everyone knew that once the fire spirit red lotus matured, it would lead to a big battle.
In this way, the people and horses of all parties quietly stayed in their respective positions and waited, and some even sat cross-legged and entered the cultivation state.
