Chapter 131: The Tower in the Forest
If the purple vines are only the ones that appear at the beginning, they are nothing, cut off and take the opportunity to leave, but, the terrible thing is that these ghost vines are not just a few dozens, but countless numbers.
Lu Qingming's speed was extremely fast, and he was dozens of feet away in one flash. However, this was not enough, the ghost vines seemed to be everywhere, and suddenly countless vines stretched out from the other side.
The moment Lu Qingming saw the ghost vine, he knew what the cause of the bones all over the ground was. According to records, the ghost vine is a xenomorph creature in ancient times, a half-demon, rated as a four-grade plant, its strength lies in its ability to devour flesh and blood, whether it is a human or a demon beast, etc., all flesh and blood creatures are its food.
This plant is rooted in one place, the roots are numerous, it is difficult to eradicate, all the vines that grow out can attack creatures, and its terrifying attack power is enough to break through the true element of the body protection of the master of the Ning Yuan Realm, that is to say, Lu Qingming has a great possibility of being killed if he is not careful.
However, Ji Yuling was much more embarrassed than him, not only because he was a little slower than Lu Qingming's reaction, but also because his speed of action was much slower due to his injury, which also made it almost impossible for him to escape from the pursuit of the ghost vine.
"Damn, today I really used up all the bad luck of my life, and I blame this kid, I just came to this kind of place to find death. Ji Yu chattered endlessly, and once again slashed the ghost vine that was chasing after him.
After this knife, he did not relax in the slightest, and immediately took the opportunity to accelerate and pull away. However, more ghost vines suddenly rushed out from the side, and they actually attacked from the side.
"Thousands of verticals. ”
The long knife trembled suddenly, and the sword qi swept in all directions, cutting off all the ghost vines around him.
He smiled helplessly in his heart: "I didn't expect to be forced like this by a half-demon plant." However, he did not despair too much, and he knew that he was fleeing in the right direction. This is the way in before, and in the very beginning of the place, it can be seen that the distribution of the bones is clear, and there is obviously a boundary separating the range of action of the demon vine.
He knew that the way of life was ahead, so he no longer retained his strength, and tried his best to gallop forward, asking the ghost vine more quickly.
Lu Qingming's direction is just the opposite of Chi Yuling, which is a dead end. It's not that he doesn't want to run for his life, it's because the situation at the time made it impossible for him to run in the right direction.
When the ghost vine broke through the ground, he immediately chased after him, if Lu Qingming ran to the road of life, he would meet Chi Yuling, and Chi Yuling would inevitably stop him, and then the two of them would have to die together. Although Lu Qingming is not afraid of death, he does not want to die in vain.
The faster he escaped, the less chance he had of escaping, and he could feel that the road was slowly getting narrower, and that there was only one path here, leaving him with no choice but to fly along the road.
Suddenly, his body was stunned, and it turned out that there was a large piece of ghost vines blocking the road in front of him.
The ghost vine appeared extremely abruptly, and the speed was also extremely fast, but Lu Qingming's movements were not slow, his body was stunned, his body quickly flipped over, and he stepped lightly on the ghost vine, like an arrow from the string, and shot quickly to the side, and then, he stepped on the trunk again, bypassing the ghost vine and continuing to move forward.
And the oni vine was a little slower to react as he turned to the side, destined to be pulled away. However, the ghost vines behind quickly swept by, chasing Lu Qingming's figure and spreading in the forest.
Vientiane Walk is running to the extreme, almost conjuring up countless shadows, and you can fly through the air for a while by stepping on the ground.
When you reach the Ning Yuan Realm, you can already fly through the air, but this requires a lot of skill, and the distance of the fly is not very far, but the consumption is a lot, under normal circumstances, only the martial artists above the late stage of the Ning Yuan Realm can afford this consumption.
However, although the cost of the volley is relatively large, the speed is more than doubled, and not only does the volley increase the travel speed, but it is also possible to use footwork to double the speed at the same time. In this way, the speed of the volley is nearly five times faster than that of flying over flat ground.
After all, Lu Qingming's cultivation has not yet reached the advanced stage, and it is naturally impossible for the speed to increase by five times, but at least it has also increased by about three times, which is enough to leave the ghost vine behind.
"The energy of the ghost vine is endless, it can continuously draw strength from the land, and my true yuan and physical strength are limited, so I must not escape like this. Lu Qingming's mind turned sharply, and his mind kept thinking about how to do this, but his body had to react again, because there were traces of ghost vines in front of him, blocking his path.
"Terrifying, vines are all over the ground, and they may appear in front of him at any time, or even beneath him!" As soon as he thought about it, he found a shadow from below rushing up, attacking Lu Qingming by surprise.
He leaped and flipped quickly, barely dodging.
"There is hardly a place in this dead air area where the ghost vine may not exist, what should I do. ”
Suddenly, a tall tower appeared in sight, and from a distance, you could see it standing in the forest, with a very simple atmosphere.
The tower should be about fifty zhang high, like a spear pointing straight to the sky, and the top of the tower is even more spiky, which shows its extraordinary momentum. The body of the tower is very clean, but there is a trace of golden light lingering, like a heavenly soldier with divine light.
"That place, obviously in the dead air area of the ghost vine, can maintain such an appearance, has not been broken by the ghost vine, and has not even been covered with dust, I am afraid there is some mystery. Lu Qingming thought for a moment and immediately made a decision, "Anyway, it's not a good way to keep dodging now, just go over and take a look." ”
The tower's unusual situation aroused Lu Qingming's interest, perhaps it was his chance to get out of the temporary ghost vine. This was his instinct as a loose cultivator, and he felt that it was his own chance.
Immediately swallowed a pill and recovered the true yuan in his body. This elixir is naturally not the previous Huiqi Pill or True Qi Pill, but the Huiyuan Pill obtained from the blood-robed person, and the use of restoring the True Yuan is the same as the Huiqi Pill, it is flawed, and if it is used too much, it will cause the True Yuan to be turbid and not pure enough. This kind of elixir is a second-grade elixir, and a bottle of at least a thousand pieces of earth spirit gold can be obtained, and it is absolutely valuable.
After recovering the true yuan, he immediately exploded the true yuan, marched with all his might, and instantly threw the ghost vine farther away, and as he stepped through the air, the purple robe was in the wind, and the hunting sounded.
Soon, he came to the tower and did not enter it immediately, although he felt that this place might be a little strange, but he would not venture into it until he confirmed that the oni vine had indeed failed to enter it. If the ghost vine can enter it then, there is really no way to escape.
"Hopefully, as I thought, this tower has the ability to keep the oni vines out of approach. Lu Qingming muttered to himself, and at the same time glanced around, and then looked at the countless ghost vines that shot from in the distance, he suddenly felt a little numb, he didn't expect that there were so many ghost vines chasing him, if he was caught up, he would definitely die no longer.
The reason why he dared to guess that the demon vine could not enter the tower was because there were no bones near the tower, and beyond that, countless dry bones were piled up. This is the contrast, and in contrast, it is natural to see the difference.
The ghost vine approached quickly, and Lu Qingming saw this terrifying thing approaching, and he was also a little nervous in his heart, and he was already secretly running the true yuan under his feet, ready to use the occult method to escape at any time.
However, it was obvious that he didn't need to flee, and after the ghost vine approached the tower, it seemed that he had encountered some irresistible existence, and they retreated one after another, plunging back into the earth.
Lu Qingming clearly saw that around the tower, there was a protective shield, which would work when the ghost vine approached, and a faint golden rune would appear, blocking the ghost vine and even driving away the ghost vine.
When Lu Qingming saw this scene, he breathed a sigh of relief and put his mind at ease, at least, for the time being, he was free from the threat of the ghost vine.
It is impossible for the existence of the tower to be meaningless, and Lu Qingming naturally knows this. He glanced back at the tower, and suddenly felt a sense of dizziness, the flowing golden light on the tower was too dazzling, flashing and flashing, making it difficult to catch its location.
Lu Qingming retracted his gaze, took a deep breath, and strode into it.
Inside, there was nothing but a straw mat in the center, and I didn't know what it was for.
Lu Qingming was suddenly a little depressed, could it be that this tower was only empty on the outside, but it was unbearable on the inside. He didn't believe it and continued to walk up the second floor.
Judging from the total height of the tower and the height of the first floor, there should be more than five floors here, so he didn't believe that five floors in a row were straw mats.
On the second floor, a lone desk is arranged in the center, and on the table is a painting. Lu Qingming approached to see that the painting was of a two-tall man, with golden hair and flowing gold, just like the body of this tower, standing on the vast grassland, pointing to the sky with one hand, proudly looking at the countless lives on the grassland, like a king.
Lu Qingming only sighed at the momentum of the man in the painting, but he didn't have much interest in the painting itself, and he wasn't ready to take this thing, so he continued to walk to the third floor after seeing it.
The third floor, still empty, has a golden paper placed on a platform in the center. However, it's a pity that Lu Qingming couldn't understand what it was, and there weren't many words on it, only the words "Wang Junlin". What this means, Lu Qingming can't guess.
Shaking his head in disappointment, he put down his paperwork and continued walking.
On the fourth floor, there's finally something.
