Chapter 187: Weird
Ye Chen said his guess, and the third girl, who was still trying all kinds of things, quickly calmed down.
The material of the Yongdao, they have also seen it with their own eyes.
Its hardness, after hearing what other people said, I had some idea in my heart.
The fundamental reason why the monks who have now taken refuge in the Kuiyuan Secret Realm cannot get out is actually on the collapse of the Yongdao.
I don't know how many capable people have tried it, but unfortunately, the joint efforts of so many Qi Refining Cultivators still can't break through the Dao in the slightest.
It was almost clear that this was not something that their Qi Refining Stage Minor Cultivator could touch.
If the material of this stone pillar has anything to do with the Yongdao, then it is really not something they can destroy.
"Then it's strange, what is the reason why these stone pillars are made of such strange materials?"
Qu Zhaozhao's face was puzzled, and Ye Chen and the others couldn't answer her question.
The scene in this entire Kuiyuan secret realm was full of abnormalities, including the Death Plain and the two corpses that he had encountered before, all of which gave people a very strange feeling.
"We can't destroy this stone pillar like this, so what should we do with those collapsed corridors......
"I don't know when I'll be able to go out. Ah......" Xiaoqing's sudden words completely extinguished everyone's slightly high interest.
"It's okay, as long as we can hold on here for a while, those people above Linyuan Immortal City will definitely not give up on us."
Ye Chen could only do this comfort.
In fact, he didn't believe these words himself, but at this moment, if there is only despair in his heart, how can he support the ground?
All they can do now is find a way to survive in this secret realm.
Xiao Qing quickly realized that it was wrong for him to be discouraged at this time, and glanced at Ye Chen gratefully.
Fortunately, this mixed mood did not last long.
The monks were originally accustomed to the loneliness of cultivating alone day and night, and their ability to resist pressure was not bad.
Even though the mood was a little fluctuating just now, under Ye Chen's few words of active atmosphere, everyone quickly adjusted.
After they regrouped, they finally began their official exploration.
When you enter this stone forest, it is naturally impossible to choose to fly.
In this complex environment, the low-altitude flight of the Qi Refining Cultivators could not give them much convenience and safety at all.
It even greatly increases the risk of becoming a live target.
Naturally, people choose to walk, which is much slower, but it still has more advantages than disadvantages for exploring an area.
The reason why the stone forest is called the stone forest is because such stone pillars are ubiquitous and numerous.
Basically, there was one within a few steps, and Ye Chen, who was watching, secretly said to himself, it's good to stay in this place, at least in case of rain, even the spell will be saved, just set up a tent under a few pillars.
In the stone forest, there are naturally not only stone pillars.
At the same time, there are other plants that are messed around.
Although it is not as vibrant as the grass everywhere in the Sleepy Death Plain just now, it can be regarded as a vigorous vegetation.
Although there are no large plants such as trees, they are quite diverse, and many of the stone pillars are covered with some kind of vines.
Walking all the way forward, Ye Chen's spiritual eye technique was open and not closed throughout the whole process.
Although these plants look ordinary and have no aura, in such a place where people can die at any time, it is better to be cautious.
Due to the existence of a large number of stone pillars and vegetation, the visual range here is very short, basically the line of sight is not more than 100 meters out from any angle, and it will be completely blocked by layers of stone pillars.
No more open than the grassland, it can be said that it is difficult to move an inch here.
The crowd had to cheer up their spirits. I don't know when those rumored terrifying beasts will pop out of which corner.
After walking for another quarter of an hour, Qu Zhaozhao suddenly remembered something, and asked aloud:
"So, what are we exploring all the way for?"
"When I first entered this stone forest, it was safe enough, not only did the area have a good view, but also there was no danger."
"If it's for our safety, we should just set up a base there."
She got to the heart of the question.
You Ran and Xiaoqing suddenly paused as if they were awake.
That's right!
What are they doing this for?
Ask yourself, the reason why people are gathered together is for safety.
The reason why I chose to leave the Sleeping Death Plains and come here was not to avoid the dangers that might arise on the Sleeping Death Plains?
In that case, wouldn't it be okay to hide at the junction of the Death Plains and the Stone Forest just now?
Only Ye Chen was still moving forward at this time, and he frowned when he glanced back at the people who had paused.
"What are you waiting for? You don't really think that place is safe, do you? ”
"Have you forgotten that there are many other fleeing monks in the Death Plains besides us?"
"Stone forests are a bit more secure than other places, which can be said to be a well-known thing...... Anyone else must have thought of this as well. ”
In that case, if we stay at the junction, will we become a living target?
His words woke everyone up in an instant.
By the way, if you stay in that position and be targeted by other monks, won't you become a living target?
You must know that the biggest reason why the Kuiyuan Secret Realm is so chaotic now is because of the lack of cultivation resources, and many monks have begun to take precautions to snatch the resources of other monks.
Seeing that the team started to move again, Ye Chen felt a faint uneasiness when a big stone fell in his heart.
I don't know if it's his delusion, but he always felt his heart pound when he stayed at the junction before, as if something bad was around.
It is said that monks have moments of bliss, and there is always nothing wrong with trusting one's instincts.
Sometimes this is not an intuition, but a perception of danger.
For example, an experienced hunter can infer the presence of prey around him by changes in the environment that he himself cannot tell.
"What is this?"
Xiaoqing's suspicious cry attracted everyone's attention.
I saw her stretch out her hand and point to a place, and everyone followed her fingertips to look in that direction, and found that there was a spiritual grass growing on the ground.
That spirit grass might be a little unfamiliar to others, but Ye Chen could see its true identity at a glance.
"Shepherd grass?"
It is not only a shepherd grass, but also a medium-grade shepherd grass with good quality in the shepherd grass.
His words made everyone react in unison.
The term Shepherd Demon Grass is not unfamiliar to anyone who is a resident of Linyuan Immortal City.
As the only valuable product in the entire Kuiyuan secret technique, the Demon Shepherd Grass relied on his great effect on demon cultivation, providing the residents of Linyuan Immortal City with resources that could feed tens of thousands of monks at the same time.
It can even be said that if there is no existence of the Shepherd Grass, then the Linyuan Immortal City will naturally not exist.
After all, if the Kuiyuan Secret Realm does not have the output of the Demon Shepherd Grass, then it is a secret realm with almost no effect, and there are terrifying Kui beasts in it.
Exploring this place is more than worth the cost.
From this, it can also be seen how attractive the shepherd demon grass is for those demon cultivators.
The appearance of this shepherd grass here can't help but feel a little sudden, but when you think about it, it's a matter of course.
After all, the Shepherd Demon Grass was originally a product of this Kuiyuan Secret Realm, and it was normal to be able to find it here, and it was normal to think about it.
It's not normal to say that no one has found a single demon grass in the previous big Sleepy Death Plain for a few days.
"It's the shepherd grass!"
Xiao Qing rushed forward excitedly, and prepared to pull out the demon grass.
Her uncommon sense move made Ye Chen only feel his temples jump.
"Wait, these spirit grasses can't just be pulled!"
Ye Chen hurriedly dissuaded.
As long as you have a little experience in the world of cultivating immortals, you know that the picking of spiritual grass is very particular.
The most basic point is to never touch it with your hands or pull it out directly with your hands.
Even if it is a spiritual grass rich in spiritual energy, its root system will most likely be fragile, and as long as it is slightly negligent, it is very likely to be damaged.
Although the parts of each spirit grass that exert their medicinal properties are different, there are still many spirit grasses, and some of the medicinal properties lie in their roots.
There are even some spirit grasses, whose roots are the effective parts.
If it is damaged, then it is still a trivial matter if the medicinal properties are damaged, and it may even cause the entire spirit grass to lose its value as an alchemy material.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you don't care about the damage of the medicinal properties, if there is a gap in the root system, the spiritual energy of the spiritual grass itself will be lost countless times faster.
Even if it is placed in a jade box, this kind of passage is unavoidable.
Shepherd grass is also the kind of spiritual grass that has some medicinal properties in the root system, and naturally it can't withstand such a toss.
"Ah, is that so?"
Xiaoqing obediently stopped his hand.
However, at this time, an extremely strange scene appeared.
The shepherd grass that originally grew on the ground seemed to have been "tied", and suddenly seemed to have life, and suddenly scurried and rushed directly through the bushes in front of it.
Almost instantly, it "disappeared" from everyone's eyes.
"Ah......h
Xiao Qing exclaimed, and subconsciously wanted to chase forward, but Ye Chen and You Ran were not good, and they rushed towards Xiao Qing one after another.
You Ran was worthy of being a ninth-level Qi refining body cultivator, and his reactions and movements were much faster than him, and he finally rushed forward in a very short time and protected Xiaoqing.
In the next moment, an extremely thick vine burst out of the ground.
The vines are purple-red in color, with a spike several feet long on the tip.
In a panic, he stepped forward to save people, if it was someone else, he might have been hit by now, but You Ran also made a means of resistance at this time, hugged Xiaoqing and kicked out towards the spike.
"Bang!"
The two collided, and there was a sound like a boulder falling to the ground.
You Ran's kick still had an effect, and the vine was kicked to block the attack, and the epidermis was also kicked apart, blooming with countless juices.
The sap fell to the ground and "hissed" to corrode the soil into a large hole.
You Ran hurriedly took a few steps back, and finally came to a safe place with Xiaoqing in his arms.
At this time, Xiaoqing's face was still shocked, and the vines that suddenly appeared just now almost scared her screaming.
"Little ...... Miss! ”
Her eyes were full of tears, and she looked at You Ran and only felt that both legs were weak.
It can be said that if there was no rescue from You Ran, she would definitely be dead just now!
While Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief beside him, he was also secretly afraid in his heart.
Although he had realized that something was wrong just now, he was not fast enough after all.
It would definitely be too late to use the Black Bone Sword in this kind of emergency, so he could only use his specialty as a half-body cultivator to rush forward and try it directly, but unfortunately, his speed was still a little slower.
If it weren't for You Ran, just now, Xiao Qing would probably have skewered the vine into a human meat skewer by now.
"How did you become a human servant, so reckless."
"Wait here, be careful!"
You Ran touched her head, turned around and rushed towards the vine.
It's not her style to sit back and wait, not to mention, there is no good cover around everyone in this situation, and if the threat is not solved, then they will be the ones who have a headache in the end.
"Zhaozhao, take care of Xiaoqing."
Ye Chen also left a word for Qu Zhaozhao, and then rushed forward.
Among the four, the combat power of Yu Ran is well-deserved first, and he can also sit firmly in the second, at this time, it is natural that the two of them rush to the front without hesitation.
After Qu Zhaozhao took out the defensive magic weapon and opened it, he nodded busily.
She knew in her heart at this time that Ye Chen and Youran didn't need to worry about it, she only needed to ensure that Xiaoqing had no problems at present.
If Ye Chen and the others have nothing to do in terms of fighting, the help she can help is limited, it is better to protect Xiaoqing here, she can be said to have no self-protection ability in this situation at the fifth level of qi refining.
At this moment, the vine had fully revealed its true form.
It was a monster that had been hiding underground before, purple red, probably because the soil under its feet was only half a foot thick, and the monster spread its body very wide, like a starfish.
By this time it had attacked, and it was no longer hiding its true form.
The whole body of the "starfish" supported the whole body and stood up, five or six feet high, and the five or six legs on the body were not the wrists and feet of the starfish, but the vines like tentacles.
Each vine had spikes on it, writhing as if it had life.
At the base of the vine, there are many things that look like eyes, and the whites of the eyes and pupils are very distinct.
Such an existence, it is not like an animal to say that it is an animal, and it is not like a plant to say that it is a plant, and a word suddenly popped up in Ye Chen's mind that they had mentioned countless times in the past few days.
Kui Beast!
