Chapter 41: Alienation

But seeing Dongfang Lingdexterity's blank face, he said in a somewhat slow tone: "To be honest, I don't know what happened at that time. In that plain, the grass grows taller than a man, and each of us has to be careful about the path under our feet, lest one of us step into the mire without paying attention. However, it was in this situation that one by one the people with us disappeared without a word. So much so that when we found out that the situation was wrong, there were more than half of the companions around us. Among them, there is even an elder of our Oriental family. ”

"What, your elders are missing too?" Di Tian was even more shocked at this time.

Elder of the Dongfang Family, what kind of existence is that?

Putting aside the rest for the time being, the strength of each of them alone is not much stronger than the current Emperor Tian. But such a world-wide master, who can be called a top-level master, would disappear in front of everyone's eyes so inexplicably.

Thinking of the scene at that time, Dongfang Lingqiao seemed to still have some palpitations, his face became a little ugly, and he said: "It's because this secret realm is full of weirdness, and our Dongfang family doesn't know how many elite children of the clan have lost because of this." Therefore, this time the family made this decision and summoned all the forces in Nanzhou that were dependent on our Dongfang family to come and explore this secret realm together. ”

At this time, Di Tian suddenly thought of a question, so he said, "You said before, it seems that you have never walked to that black mountain peak. Why do you Oriental family think that there must be something special there, instead of going there?"

I saw Dongfang Dexterous shook his head, and he didn't seem to be very sure: "I don't know the specifics, but I just heard Elder Tong say it once in a while, as if it was because they had seen a divine light flash on that peak." ”

"Divine light?

It was Di Chonghai who was asking, and I don't know when he suddenly woke up, and he happened to hear the conversation between Di Tian and the others, and he couldn't help but ask when he heard this.

Dongfang dexterously heard the voice, turned her head and saw that Di Chonghai was leaning his head behind her, and when she saw that hateful face, she was angry, and she almost slapped her hand with a slap. However, as soon as she made a little move, Di Chonghai's side quickly dodged away, as if she had already foreseen it.

"Okay, you girl, did you provoke you? Isn't it just a question, as for being so angry?" Di Chonghai muttered as he stepped aside.

"It's annoying to see you old man, what's wrong with wanting to beat you?" Dongfang said with a deft glare.

Di Chonghai smiled when he heard this, and once again exerted his cynical nature, and said with a smile: "Girl, have you ever heard of the phrase "beating is kissing, scolding is love?"

As soon as the words fell, Dongfang Dexterity's face suddenly changed, like an explosive that had been ignited with a fuse, which instantly made the atmosphere in the entire air extremely strange.

Di Tian saw that Dongfang Dexterity was about to go crazy, and knew that if he didn't stop it at this time, this girl would really go crazy later, and I was afraid he wouldn't be able to stop it. So he hurriedly said: "Dexterity, ignore him, this thing has always been like this, the dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth." ”

As soon as he heard this, Di Chonghai was immediately unhappy: "Hey, I said you stinky boy, it's really not big or small, did you say this about your uncle?"

Di Tian said indifferently: "What's wrong with my uncle, I'm here to help my relatives." By the way, dexterity, you go on, what happened to that divine light just now?"

Seeing that Emperor Tiandu said this, Dongfang Dexterity couldn't continue to trouble that hateful guy in Di Chonghai, so he had to say: "In fact, the so-called divine light has been found in many places before. At least as far as I know, it seems that in the secret realm controlled by our Dongfang family, or several other major families, we have seen the appearance of divine light. And where there is divine light, there must be peerless treasures. Back then, our Dongfang family discovered an ancient artifact in an ancient secret realm, which made our Dongfang family from an obscure small family to one of the four major families like this in one fell swoop. ”

"Of course, divine light doesn't have to appear only in secret realms, and there are other places that have also appeared. To put it simply, the appearance of divine light means that there must be a rare secret treasure in the world. To tell you the truth, in fact, the secret realm we are in now was discovered by our Dongfang family a long time ago, and even sent many people to explore, but nothing has been discovered. It was as if it was just an abandoned and broken space, useless, and even tempted to abandon it at one point. However, it wasn't until a year ago, on that black mountain peak, that a divine light suddenly came, which once again alarmed the elders of our Eastern Family. ”

Hearing this, Di Tian couldn't help but fall into silence for a while, thinking about something secretly there.

In fact, after he entered this secret realm, there was a faint strange feeling in his heart, as if in this place, something was secretly calling him. Originally, Di Tian didn't know what was going on, but he just thought it was just an illusion in his heart, an illusion caused by worrying about his father's safety.

But until just now, in order to rescue the second uncle who was swallowed by the mutant demon beast, he had to summon the Heavenly Dao Sword.

At this time, the emperor genius suddenly discovered that the illusion he had always thought was indeed in this secret realm, and he didn't know that there was some kind of strange power that was secretly connected with the Heavenly Dao Sword in his body. I don't know if it was calling for the Heavenly Dao Sword, or if the arrival of the Heavenly Dao Sword resonated with it. But after listening to Dongfang Ling's words, Di Tian had a vague answer in his heart.

In this secret realm, there is really a rare secret treasure hidden!

After a short rest, the Emperor Tian and the others also recovered some of their strength, and continued to walk forward. When they looked outside, they just felt that there was no end in sight to this forest, but when they really walked inside, what they saw made people feel a sense of despair.

The main thing is that the forest is so quiet, the silence is terrible, the silence is too unusual.

Emperor Tian couldn't even help but wonder, where was the ancient secret realm here, looking at this blood-like red river, full of darkness and endless forest, it felt like going to hell. And along the way, the three of them were tense and didn't dare to relax at any time, coupled with the difficult road, the energy of several of them was consumed quickly.

After walking for a while, several people had to stop and rest.

However, although the road is difficult to walk, fortunately, there is no danger on the road, and it is a blessing in misfortune.

The three of them walked a long distance again, and Di Tian jumped up to the treetops from time to time and looked at the black mountain peak in the distance, only to feel that they were getting closer and closer to that mountain peak now.

"I just took a look, and we should have walked almost halfway through the time we entered this forest. With a little more effort, we'll soon be able to reach the foot of the mountain over there. After observing the surrounding situation, Di Tian jumped down from a tree and said to the two of them.

Di Chonghai didn't say anything, and Dongfang Lingdexterity on the side only nodded, just looking at her appearance at this time, she seemed to be a little tired.

"Dexterity, are you alright?" Di Tian asked softly.

Hearing this, Dongfang raised his head dexterously, smiled forcefully on his beautiful face, and said, "I'm fine, don't worry, I'm not so weak yet." ”

As she spoke, she suddenly pulled Di Tian aside and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Di Tian, do you feel that there seems to be something wrong with the old man's appearance. ”

"My second uncle?" Di Tian was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Di Chonghai, who was about to open the way not far away, and didn't see anything unusual about him. So he shook his head and said, "I don't see anything special, why do you ask?"

Dongfang Dexterous sighed softly, and then said: "You take a closer look, look at his right hand, haven't you seen it yet?"

At this time, Emperor Tiancai looked at his second uncle Emperor Chonghai again, only to see that at this time, Emperor Chonghai was holding a sword in his right hand, and he was constantly cutting down the messy trees and branches in the forest that blocked their way. And after this reminder of Dongfang Dexterity, Emperor Tiancai put his eyes on his right hand. I saw that at this time, Di Chonghai's entire right hand seemed to be larger than usual, and the whole hand showed a sauce purple.

Di Tian couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly walked up, shouting, "Second uncle, wait a minute!"

Hearing the voice, Di Chonghai couldn't help but turn around and said strangely: "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong with your hand?" asked Di Tian.

"My hand?" Di Chonghai looked at his hand with a strange expression, and noticed that his right hand seemed to be a little swollen.

He smiled, but thought that it might be because he had swung his sword too many times along the way, and his arm was a little swollen. didn't take this seriously at the moment, but laughed at himself: "Hehe, you know, your second uncle and I have been single for a long time, and this right hand will be a little thicker than ordinary people." ”

Di Tian couldn't help but feel funny when he heard this, and said: "It's a shame that you are still interested in joking, if it weren't for the dexterity and carefulness, I found that there was something wrong with your hands, I'm afraid I would have been hidden from you all the time." Hurry up and give me the sword first, I'll open the way in front, second uncle, you take a rest first. ”

When Di Chonghai heard this, he raised his eyes and looked at Dongfang Dexterity not far away, and saw that as soon as the girl saw his eyes, he quickly turned his head to the side, as if he didn't want to meet his eyes. Di Chonghai smiled and said, "It's okay, my hand is a little swollen, and it doesn't hurt or itch, what can be the problem." Alright, don't worry about it. ”

Is your hand swollen like this, and it doesn't hurt or itch?

Di Tian felt strange in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Let me take a look." ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward and pulled Di Chonghai's sleeve to it, and his face suddenly changed.

"This, this ......"

At the same time, when Di Chonghai saw the appearance of his right hand, he also opened his mouth all of a sudden, and he was speechless for a long time like Di Tian.

Seeing this, Dongfang Ling, who was not far away, couldn't help but rush over curiously, and when she poked her head to look at Di Chonghai's right arm, she saw that Di Chonghai's entire right arm was covered with white scales at some point. Starting at the shoulders and extending to the wrists, they are all covered in scales. And at this time, on the back of Di Chonghai's hand, he could vaguely see some small protrusions, as if something was about to grow out of his skin.

"What's wrong with you, why do you have scales on your hands?" Dongfang Dexterity couldn't help but exclaim.

Hearing this, Di Chonghai and Di Tian came back to their senses, only to see Di Chonghai with a wry smile on his face, and said: "Where do I know this, I didn't pay attention to it along the way, and I didn't feel anything wrong with my hands, the ghost knows how it was inexplicably overgrown with these ghost things." ”

As he spoke, Di Chonghai wanted to try to tear off one of the scales. It's just that at this time, the scales have completely grown on his hands, and he wasted a lot of energy, only grinning in pain, so he finally ripped off a piece of it.

However, then, a scene that surprised the three of them appeared, only to see that not long after Di Chonghai ripped off the scale, blood suddenly gushed from the wound site. However, when he wiped the blood off his hands, he found that the place where he had torn off a scale had actually grown a scale in its original position!

"Hell, what the hell is going on?!" Even Emperor Chonghai was having a hard time keeping his composure, and there was a hint of panic in his expression.

At this time, Di Tian, who had not spoken much, suddenly came up and said to him: "Second uncle, these scales grow on your hands, don't you feel them at all?"

Di Chonghai shook his head and said, "I don't feel anything at all, if I have to say that there is, I just feel that my right hand seems to be much stronger than before." And when I clenched my fist, I faintly felt that there seemed to be an extremely powerful force in my fist. ”

Hearing this, Di Tian suddenly fell into deep thought, and it wasn't until a long time later that he said again: "Second uncle, it is very likely that you were alienated by the demon beast in the river just now!"

Di Chonghai didn't understand a little, so he asked, "What do you mean? What do you mean that I was alienated by that monster?"

Di Tian frowned and said, "When we crossed the river before, the white monster that looked like a fish was encountered, didn't you be swallowed by that monster at that time, Second Uncle, it seems that your right hand was injured at that time. Although I didn't feel anything at the time, it seems that now that the second uncle should have been infected by him when he was injured by that monster. I don't know if that's appropriate, but I think it's about the same as the monster's ability, and you see that the monster has the body of a fish, but it has the hands of this person, so we guess that he may have caused a change in his body after eating a person. And the second uncle was injured by that monster, and for some reason, he was even infected by some kind of power of that monster, which caused these scales to grow on your right hand now. ”

After he finished saying this, Di Chonghai and Dongfang Dexterous were both stunned, obviously not very understanding.

Di Tian looked at their appearances and roughly saw that they didn't understand, but even if he asked him to say it again, he couldn't explain the reason for it clearly. Because even if it was him, it was impossible to know the real reason for the scales growing on Di Chonghai's hands, and the reason why he said that just now was completely out of his speculation.

"Having said so much, I didn't understand what you were saying. But what do you mean, if these scales keep growing on me, will I end up like that monster?" Di Chonghai's face became very ugly, and he asked with some concern.

Di Tian fell silent and shook his head, he really didn't know.

At this time, I saw that Di Chonghai's face suddenly showed a strange smile, and then he instantly snatched the long sword from Di Tian's hand, and directly slashed towards his right arm.

"What are you doing!" Dongfang Dexterity was the first to notice that something was wrong, shouted, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop it.

However, she was still a step too late after all, and Di Chonghai snatched the long sword before Di Tian could react, and then slashed directly at his right arm without any pause. However, the next scene once stunned the three of them.

The long sword fell, but there was no such scene of blood splashing, the three of them just heard a loud sound, and then saw that Emperor Chonghai's left hand holding the sword was actually shaken out. Instead of being able to cut off his right arm, his sword was counterattacked by an extremely strong force on his right arm, which shook his mouth for a while.

On the side, Emperor Tian and Dongfang Dexterity couldn't help but look at him in a daze, you must know that the sword in Di Chonghai's hand, although it is not a rare divine weapon, but it is also made by a famous person in the world, the sword body is extremely sharp, enough to blow short hair, it can be called a commodity. Moreover, the sword that Di Chonghai just now secretly used his internal strength, but in such a situation, he failed to cut off his right arm?

Just when the three of them were in shock, suddenly the long sword in Di Chonghai's hand broke in two without warning and fell to the ground.

"It's, it's too fucking fake, isn't it?!" Di Chonghai was shocked and couldn't help but burst into foul language.

Emperor Tian and Dongfang Dexterity also nodded in agreement, only to see Dongfang Dexterity step forward and pull Emperor Chonghai's right hand full of scales, only to see that the place where Emperor Chonghai's sword was cut down just now did not leave a trace of wound except for a shallow white mark on it.

"He wasn't even hurt? Is his arm made of iron? No, even if it was made of iron, it would have been enough to cut it in half under the sword just now. These scales are so hard?" Dongfang Dexterity couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, Di Tian also came to the front of him, and said to Di Chonghai with some reproach: "Second uncle, you were too impulsive just now, and you even made such a move without saying a word." ”

Di Chonghai smiled, seemingly a little embarrassed. But at this time, looking at his invulnerable right hand, his heart was really full of feelings, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

But he heard Di Tian say: "Second uncle, although your right arm does seem to have been alienated by the monster in the river, but according to the current situation, the scales on that hand seem to have grown from the shoulder, and then spread to the whole hand, and there is no tendency to spread to the body." And the current situation doesn't seem to have any effect on you, and you can't say whether it's a good or a bad thing. In this way, second uncle, don't be so impulsive and want to cut it off, let's observe the situation first. If the scales hadn't spread to your body, and it wouldn't have had much of an impact on you, maybe it would have been a good for nothing. ”

Hearing this, Di Chonghai couldn't help frowning, that's right, but whoever is good at it, his hands are suddenly covered with scales inexplicably, I'm afraid no one's heart will be comfortable, right? But these scales are extremely hard, and his sword just now couldn't even leave a wound on it. Now, even if he wanted to cut off his right arm, he would have no choice.

Dongfang Lingqiao on the side couldn't help but laugh when he saw Di Chonghai's bitter gourd face at this time, clapped his hands and smiled: "Hehe, the old man has become an old monster now, it's really gratifying." ”
