Chapter 68: Spores
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"
A team of four people was striding forward in the forest, and between the steps, the robes on several people were hunting.
After entering the Lingxing array, everyone walked with the sword first, and Jing Zhi Lao Dao rubbed Zhang Xu's "free ride" with the red golden sword and drove a long way.
Until he was about to enter Yitai County, Bai Lu said that when Senior Brother Qiu sent out his request for help, he was on the boulder of Yilin, which was blocked by heavy trees, and if he approached the sword, he was afraid that it would be difficult to see clearly in the air.
For their own insurance, the four of them combined before entering the Yi Forest, so it was better to give up the method of high-altitude imperial sword and use the escape method to move forward instead.
First, it will not be like Edgeworth's walk, where the enemy will reveal his location early;
Second, the three disciples of the Xuanji Holy Land are all accustomed to using swords, and in this way, they can cover their qi on the sword while hurrying, in order to punish evil at any time.
The boy is at the end of the team, not only in charge of the back, but also in order to have a little buffer time in case of unexpected situations, he plays the role of "knowing the blessing", and strives to quickly find the enemy's weak points.
Among the four people, the most sparse and ordinary person is the old man of Jing Zhidao.
Its cultivation is no more than the sixth layer of the Qi refining period, and it basically relies on the qi machine to sink and wrap its feet to speed up slightly, so there is no flexible skill at all, just faster than when ordinary people run.
In this process, the young man heard that the green leaves in Jing Zhi's old road occasionally stepped on made a different sound, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, so he used a gas machine to remotely take a picture of a fallen leaf and put it in front of him to take a look.
The leaf still retains a green color that cannot exist in winter, but the touch is close to that of an iron sheet, and the veins of the large and small leaves on it are very unnatural, curling and growing savagely, like a hideous and terrible money string;
In addition, the mesophyll grows densely bulges that resemble eggs and herpes, and are dull in color, similar to rust, and have a bloody smell.
Zhang Xu looked at those bulges carefully, and the "Zhifu Fit" magic power listed the information of this thing in front of him:
[Magnolia Leaf: Infected by the sacrificial evil [rust], it is spewing out a miasma unique to this evil spirit. 】
…… Such a random magnolia leaf that falls from the branch has miasma?
Fortunately, when they entered the order, the four of them all took the miasma pill, and they were not afraid of the so-called miasma in a short time.
Zhang Xu subconsciously covered his mouth and nose with the qi machine first, and then condensed the qi in his eyes more solidly.
After two breaths, he saw that above the leaf, a small particle was slowly emanating from the breeze in the forest.
Such fine and invisible particles are definitely not like the seeds of willows, reeds, and dandelions, which rely on flocculent hairs to fly far away, but more like another kind of life that is neither animal nor wood - fungi.
I have to say that this small particle is indeed very similar to fungal spores, but I didn't expect this evil to spread in the same way as a fungus, I don't know what the relationship is.
It is estimated that a single plant infected with rust can produce a large number of spores.
These spores move far away with the wind, and they are attached to the rocks and soil, but if they are attached to people, animals, flowers and plants, they can continue to grow after a period of time, which is consistent with the description in the foreign affairs file that "everything is stained".
If only this Nanfu County was as dusty as the Western Regions, and few living beings existed, this evil would definitely not be able to spread so quickly.
It's a pity that these spores did not spread in a short period of time, but lurked on humans, animals, flowers and plants with low toxicity for a long time, until the coverage spread from Yitai County in the middle of Nanfu County to the surrounding neighboring counties, and then they suddenly began to harvest the host.
It is no wonder that so many elderly people and children in Nanfu County are not spared, these two groups have poor resistance and can hardly resist the toxicity of the first wave of spores.
And once the people turned into bronze and iron figures, it became a breeding ground for more spores to grow......
If it weren't for the rapid reaction of the Holy Land, which immediately issued an order to march, the scope of the infection could continue to spread, rushing out of Nanfu County, until it was like a loose horse, causing the entire Dali to suffer together.
If that happens, this fang should be able to upgrade to a disaster-level evil in its entirety.
"It's almost there, and the boulder in front of you is where Senior Brother Qiu is sitting."
The heron's script slows down slightly for everyone to hear.
Jing Zhidao closed his eyes and felt a few breaths, and said like this:
"Yes, that boulder was originally a hot spring, originally a water in the fire, located in Yitai County, in the middle of the Yilin forest, called "Yitang";
"After the abnormality of Nanfu County, the two qi of yin and yang are seriously unbalanced, the five elements have changed drastically, the water in this fire has turned into water in the soil, and the boulder is hollowed out, containing a clear spring in it, but it has gained the cultivation of Qiu's predecessors, yes or no?"
After speaking, Lao Dao stood slightly stiff, let out a few breaths, and adjusted the feeling of poor breathing caused by hurrying.
Bai Lu was a little stunned when she heard this, and her tone couldn't help but be a little surprised, and she nodded and praised:
"Jing Zhi Daoyou's unique technique is quite accurate."
Zhang Xu and Le Xun glanced at each other, and through the gap in the woods, they could only see the appearance of a little boulder.
After five or six breaths, Jing Zhidao opened his eyes and said:
"Senior Bai praised it falsely. The old way has been adjusted, let's go and see how Senior Qiu is? ”
The heron bowed her head lightly and said to the young girl:
"That's right, since Jing Zhidao is no longer in the way, I'll just move forward in the order just now."
Le Xun didn't procrastinate, and pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword and whispered:
"Let's go, be careful."
Zhang Xu responded, and continued to move slowly in front of the three of them in the position of the tail.
The four of them walked out of the woods and took in the boulder, but they didn't see Qiu Hengliang for the time being.
"Zheng! Zheng Zheng! ”
Behind the boulder, there was a sudden sound of rapid hand-to-hand combat.
The moment the four of them took an attack stance, two strange shadows rushed out from behind the boulder, tangling together in a clattering manner.
These two strange shadows were like old enemies, and when they attacked each other, they didn't spare their hands at all, and the vibrating thick qi even cracked the ground.
A shadow is in the form of a human figure, with uneven variegated metal growing on its face, completely obscuring its features, and its body is not metallic, but covered with a sludge and muddy water;
The other shadow was irregular, wriggling in mid-air, and at a rough glance, it looked like the tentacles of a swarm of extremely tiny bees.
As soon as the humanoid figure saw several people in the egret, he immediately pointed impatiently at the boulder.
However, due to the metal on his face, he blurted out some muffled words.
Zhang Xu stared at the figure for two breaths, and rushed towards the boulder:
"The figure is Senior Brother Qiu! Senior Sister Le protects Jing Zhi Daoyou! ”
Another tentacle shadow saw the boy move towards the boulder, and immediately sank in an instant, as if it was about to sink into the ground.
"Ahh
The humanoid figure raised its hand in a hurry, and a huge mud hand suddenly rushed out of the ground, grabbing the tentacle fiercely and pulling it!
The tentacle shadow turned in half, but it did not stop at all, and quickly burrowed into the ground.
"Ahhh
The strange shadow that Senior Brother Qiu turned into shouted loudly, and his heart was in pain!
