Chapter 40: The Black Forest
At this time, Di Tian suddenly looked at the long sword in his hand, smiled and said, "Heavenly Dao, Heavenly Dao, don't let me down." ”
As he spoke, Di Tian hurriedly urged the vitality in his body and tried to convey it to the Heavenly Dao Sword. However, his vitality had just been output, and he suddenly felt that the Heavenly Dao Sword was like an endless black hole, constantly devouring the vitality in his body, and in just a moment's effort, it actually consumed the vitality in Emperor Tian's body.
"Good guy, it's so exhausting, it seems that with my current strength, it's a little too early to control it. ”
However, with the vitality that Di Tian had just entered, it was enough to evoke a trace of the power of the Heavenly Dao Sword, and at this time, the sword body suddenly bloomed with bursts of golden light, and Di Tian clearly felt that there was already an extremely terrifying power hidden on the Heavenly Dao Sword.
Immediately afterwards, Emperor Tian unfolded his divine sense, and at this time, he seemed to be fused with the Heavenly Dao Sword, and his divine sense became much sharper than before.
Every grass and tree around, and even the movement of air seemed to be clearly grasped by him.
Di Tian had been sensing the movement in the river, following the breath of the monster that had appeared in an instant just now. Then, after a while, his eyes suddenly opened, and he said, "I have finally found you evil beast!"
It turned out that after swallowing Di Chonghai in one gulp, the monster did not run far, but stayed at the bottom of the river not far in front of Di Tian, and seemed to be waiting for an opportunity to move.
"Evil animal, return my second uncle quickly!"
Emperor Tian suddenly shouted angrily, and with a slash of the long sword in his hand, a golden sword light flew out in an instant, and in an instant, it cut a big hole in the surface of the river. The river seemed to have been cut in two sections by Emperor Tian, and at the bottom of the river, the figure of the white monster from before suddenly appeared, churning in a pile of mud.
Looking at it, it seemed to be very painful, and it was tossing and turning at the bottom of the river, constantly struggling.
What's going on?
Di Tian couldn't help frowning, he was worried about hurting the second uncle just now, so when this sword was swung out, he didn't deliberately target this monster, but just cut the surface of the river, and at the same time locked the monster's qi machine, so that it would not escape his attack range.
But now seeing its appearance, it was obvious as if it had been greatly injured, and it was roaring in pain, emitting bursts of piercing screams.
At this time, Emperor Tiancai carefully looked at the appearance of the monster, all white, covered with a thick layer of scales, shining with a white luster. Di Tian couldn't even help but think, I was afraid that with an ordinary sword, it would be difficult to hurt the layers of scales on its body. And the appearance of this monster as a whole looks like an incomparably huge fish. However, unlike the fish, the three parts of its pectoral fin, pelvic fin, and anal fin are not fins, but three pairs of giant hands with sharp claws like human hands.
"What kind of monster is this?" Dongfang Lingdexterity behind him sensed the movement here, and finally couldn't help but walk up, seeing the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but turn white, and asked in a trembling voice.
Di Tian shook his head: "I don't know, looking at it, it doesn't look like a demon beast, at least what I've seen in some books, I've never seen such a demon beast." It's obviously the body of a fish, but it has a few pairs of big hands like people. Could it be that it was because of this secret realm, in this strange river, that he had mutated?"
Dongfang Lingqiao, who only listened to the side, said: "If you say so, when I came in before, it seems that I have seen a few particularly strange monsters, and they are similar to this monster, on the surface, it seems to be some kind of huge monster beast, but there are one or two times on the body, and they look very similar to people." At that time, I couldn't help but wonder if it was because they ate those who broke into the secret realm, and then their bodies also mutated, and finally became like this?!"
Dongfang Lingqiao's words were unintentional, but they suddenly caused a shock in Di Tian's heart.
Could it be that the truth is really as Dongfang Dexterity says?
The creatures living in this secret realm can actually devour other lives, thus causing themselves to mutate?
But now is not the time to think about these things, Di Tian listened to a burst of screams in his ears, and guessed that this monster was probably in pain, and was about to start to go berserk. He immediately concentrated his energy, the sword qi in his hand secretly gathered, and once the monster moved, he immediately swung his sword away, sealing its path.
For the rest, Di Tian did not make any other moves.
Dongfang Dexterous on the side couldn't help but hurriedly say: "Ditian, now is a good time, why don't you go up and kill that monster so that you can rescue the old man." ”
Di Tian didn't seem to hear it, he still didn't move, after a while, seeing that the monster's struggle was getting smaller and smaller, the expression on his face seemed to be much more relaxed, and he smiled at Dongfang Lingdexterity beside him, and said, "Don't worry, I have already sensed the breath of the second uncle just now, and now he is fighting it in the belly of the monster." If I attack here, I might accidentally hurt my second uncle. Rather than this, it is better to wait for the second uncle to come out of it himself. All I need to do now is try to block the monster's path and keep it from escaping into the river on either side. ”
"He, he's really okay?" Dongfang Dexterous seemed to be surprised.
"It's okay, don't look at my second uncle who always seems to be cynical, but his strength is also very strong, it's just a demon beast that has been mutating, and he can't help him. ”
As soon as Di Tian's words fell, he suddenly heard a miserable roar from the monster in the river, and then suddenly fluttered in the mud at the bottom of the river a few times, and finally became quiet. Immediately after, a sword light flashed, and the huge belly of the fish was suddenly cut open from the inside.
Then I saw a long sword stretching out from inside, and at the same time, half of Di Chonghai's body was quite embarrassed.
"Damn, what kind of monster is this, I almost didn't digest Lao Tzu. Di Chonghai cursed as he crawled out of the monster's belly.
Di Tian looked at him and couldn't help laughing: "It's okay, Second Uncle, how does it feel to be swallowed by that monster?"
Di Chonghai raised his eyes to see Di Tian, and when he saw him gloating, he immediately said angrily: "You stinky boy, when you see your second uncle in trouble, you don't say anything about helping, you know that you are watching jokes on the side." ”
As he spoke, he climbed onto the monster, looked at the dead monster under his feet, and couldn't help but exclaim in his heart: Good fellow, this monster is really big enough, the size of a small courtyard. No wonder when I was in it just now, I tossed and turned for a long time, and I felt that the space was spacious.
It's just that at this time, he was covered with the blood of the monster, as well as some unknown slime, and he didn't feel it when he fought hard just now, but as soon as he relaxed at this time, he suddenly felt a burst of extremely foul smell coming, so that he couldn't help but churn in his stomach for a while, and he almost couldn't hold it, and spit out the sour water in his stomach.
"I said second uncle, come up quickly when it's okay, I can't stop the river on both sides. Di Tian suddenly shouted.
"River water, what river water?" At this time, Di Chonghai suddenly turned his head to look, only to see that on both sides of him, there were huge red waves several feet high, like two walls. And now, he is in the middle of those two huge waves, and looks like this, the mud all over the ground, as if he is at the bottom of the river?
"What's going on?!" Di Chonghai couldn't help but exclaim, and no longer bothered to rest, he hurriedly flew away and broke away from the bottom of the river.
When he arrived safely on the shore, at this time, Emperor Tiancai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and collected the vitality on the Heavenly Dao Sword, and the huge force that cut the river water suddenly dissipated, only to hear a monstrous sound, and the river that had been cut in two sections was connected again. The river swallowed the monster below, and after a while, it gradually regained its calm.
Di Chonghai on the side couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and looked at Di Tian with some stump: "Xiao, Xiaotian, this, you did this?"
Di Tian smiled, didn't explain too much, just looked at him, and asked, "You didn't have any injuries on your body, did you?"
Hearing this, Di Chonghai also carefully checked his body, and found that except for some parts on his right arm that were corroded a little by the stomach acid in the monster's stomach, the rest of the parts were fine, so he shook his head. Then he saw Dongfang dexterity on the side, there was still a trace of tears in the corner of the girl's eyes, Di Chonghai couldn't help but take a step forward, and said with a smile: "Little girl, just now I cried for my brother?" Hehe, look, look, you Chonghai Brother has always been wise and martial, Yushu is in the wind, just a little monster, how can you be my opponent." ”
Dongfang looked at him dexterously, just silent for a while, and then after a while, he suddenly saw a look of disgust in her eyes, and then kicked Di Chonghai unexpectedly, quickly ran to the side, pinched his playful little nose, and scolded: "You old man, your body stinks to death, don't talk to me, stay away from me!"
"Stinky?" Di Chonghai then remembered that he was still looking extremely embarrassed now, and he couldn't help but smile embarrassedly. looked at Di Tian on the side, and saw that he was also holding back his breath, and suddenly felt a burst of shame.
"Two guys with no conscience, they have escaped death once, not to mention comforting the fragile hearts of others first, and they still hit me like this. Di Chonghai looked very aggrieved, and then walked towards the river.
Emperor Tian knew that he wanted to clean the dirt on his body, so he reminded: "Second uncle, be careful, I don't know if there are other monsters in the river." ”
Di Chonghai didn't look back, just waved his hand there, signaled that he understood, and then went to the river by himself and washed his body. However, after the toss just now, the river was already quiet at this time, and there was no abnormal movement.
When he came back from cleaning, the fishy smell on Di Chonghai's body had faded a lot, but because of the ** on his body, he kept complaining.
Di Tian didn't bother to pay attention to him, just walked towards the forest in front of him. The black forest in front of me gives people an extremely strange feeling, not at all as vigorous as in ordinary forests, on the contrary, it gives people a sense of dead silence and depression.
"This forest is really uncomfortable to look at. Dongfang Dexterous suddenly said.
Di Tian nodded and reminded: "There are strange things everywhere here, everyone should be careful." ”
The three of them walked into the forest, only to see that the vision in front of them gradually became darker, and from the moment they entered this secret realm, the whole sky took on a crimson color, just like when it was dusk outside. It's just that there isn't even a single cloud in the sky, just a faint red. Inside the woods, the light became even darker, and everywhere there was a black oppression.
After walking in this forest for a while, he suddenly heard Di Chonghai on the side: "Xiaotian, do you feel it?"
Di Tian just nodded, did not speak, and focused on his surroundings.
At this time, Dongfang Lingqiao on the side also seemed to feel that something was wrong, and whispered: "We seem to be targeted by something?"
Di Chonghai motioned for her to be silenced, and at the same time, his expression tightened, and he had quietly unsheathed the long sword in his hand.
The three of them continued to walk forward for a while, only to feel that the aura around them was becoming more and more obvious, and it seemed to be gradually approaching them.
"That aura is very strange, it doesn't look like a human, it doesn't look like a demon beast, what is it?" Dongfang Dexterous couldn't help but say.
Di Tian glanced at her and knew that this girl was a little nervous, so he comforted: "Don't worry, no matter what it is, but according to the current situation, they don't seem to have any ill will towards us, they are just spying on us." We'll just keep going with ours. ”
Having said that, at the moment, they are under the surveillance of some unknown creature, and in such an extremely strange forest, people really dare not relax for a moment, and everyone's nerves are tense.
I don't know how long they walked like this, but they felt that the aura around them that had been following them gradually faded, so that in the end, they could no longer feel the slightest thing.
But from beginning to end, they didn't even know what each other looked like and what intentions they had.
"They shouldn't have caught up again, right?" said Di Chonghai with a sigh of relief.
Di Tian shook his head, and before he could speak, he only heard Dongfang Dexterous on the side say: "What the hell are those things? It seems that there is no ill will towards us, but it has been following us." No matter how much I try to find them, I just can't find where they're hiding. Could it be some kind of mutated monster?"
"Whatever it is, now that we've come here anyway, and they haven't come to our trouble, it's already the best outcome. ”
Di Tian said, looked around again, and saw that as the few of them went deeper and deeper, the forest became more and more dense. Now they had scarcely a place to put their feet in the woods, and the ground was full of all sorts of thorny bushes and jagged trees.
Then he changed to Di Chonghai to lead the way, and used the long sword in his hand to open a way forward for the two behind him.
From time to time, Emperor Tian jumped up to the treetops to make sure they were going in the wrong direction. After walking like this for a long time, it felt like they were outside for a long time, but they were still extremely far away from the black peak.
The three of them found a place to rest for the time being, and Di Chonghai consumed a lot of vitality because he had to open the road in front. As soon as he stopped, he immediately sat down on the ground and began to exercise pranayama.
The two Emperor Tian stayed aside, seizing the time to rest while carefully watching their surroundings.
"Lingqiao, what happened when you entered this secret realm before, how long did it take for you to pass through that layer of fog and then walk towards that black peak?" Di Tian suddenly asked.
I saw Dongfang Dexterous shook his head and said, "I don't know, I haven't been here before." I remember one time, after I had passed through the outer mist, I also came to a small forest, but the forest was not very large, and we only walked for about half an hour before we went out, and then we saw a plain. Speaking of which, although the plain looks like a vast expanse, it seems to be easy to walk. But in reality, that plain was far more dangerous than the forest where we are now. Beneath the messy grass of the plains, there were some deeply hidden swamps, and there were many extremely fierce monsters in the swamps. At that time, I was led by three elders, as well as a dozen or so young juniors from our clan. But we had only walked less than half a distance in that plain, and we had less than a third of the rest of us. ”
Hearing this, Di Tian couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.
Just imagine, at that time, they were led by three elders of their Dongfang family, and there were more than a dozen elite children. But it was really shocking that such a lineup lost most of its half not long after entering the secret realm.
Emperor Tian couldn't help but ask, "What the hell is going on? Could it be that something has happened to you?"
