Chapter 16 Departure
Early in the morning of the second day, Qin Tao walked through the woods and ran towards the village of the Mamba tribe.
After the system was improved, he became more and more vigorous, and it only took two hours to reach the dense forest outside the village without the help of his soul.
The misty mountain passes, the verdant shrubs, the scattered tribal wooden houses, everything is so familiar.
Qin Tao came to the entrance of the village in a hurry, but was stopped by several clansmen. Sharp spears, colorful oil paint, and simple folk customs are the unique hallmarks of the Mamba people.
"Who are you, and why are you here?" asked one of the tall men.
Qin Tao spread his hands, blinked his eyes, and said, "Don't you know me, I'm Qin Tao!"
A look of suspicion floated in the tall man's eyes, and he said, "Qin Tao died half a year ago, you liar should leave quickly." ”
"This ......" Qin Tao was speechless for a while, but he didn't expect the clansmen to think that he was dead. However, he instantly remembered a person, and hurriedly asked, "Excuse me, is Qiya in the clan?"
As soon as they heard Qi Ya's name, several people immediately became angry, and without saying a word, they brandished spears and stabbed them.
"Could it be that Qi Ya really encountered an accident?" Qin Tao shook his heart as he dodged the attack.
The spear that fluttered in the air swirled in an arc, and with a strong wind that broke through the air, it approached Qin Tao like a python coming out of a hole.
"Stop!" a crisp and familiar voice suddenly came, causing several people to retract their spears. At the same time, a girl with a silver ring in her ear walked straight up.
"Qi Ya!" Qin Tao shouted loudly, feeling extremely happy in his heart, at least he knew that Qi Ya was safe.
The girl blinked her big eyes, revealing a look of surprise, and pointed to herself, "You know me?"
"I'm Qin Tao, can't even you recognize me, Qiya?" Until now, Qin Tao couldn't help but regret a little, his appearance had changed too much, and his acquaintances had become strangers.
"Are you Qin Tao?" Qi Ya rubbed her eyes and frowned slightly.
Qin Tao was helpless, and suddenly flipped his palm. I saw a ball of pure flame leap out and dance like an elf.
"Are you really Qin Tao!, you're not dead?" Qi Ya covered her mouth and exclaimed.
Golden mangs and red hearts, although the flames are different, but the aura emitted is very familiar to Qi Ya.
Qin Tao smiled slightly and said, "How can I die, there are still many things to do." ”
Qi Ya grabbed Qin Tao: "Since you are not dead, it is the best, go! Follow me to see grandpa!" As she spoke, she walked towards the patriarch's wooden house.
The few clansmen who stopped Qin Tao were stupidly stunned at this time, looking at each other, and they were a little helpless for a while.
Wen Cheng was very happy to see Qin Tao, and he only smiled indifferently at Qin Tao's appearance and didn't feel strange. Qin Tao roughly talked about the things in the past six months, and finally mentioned the idea of leaving.
Wen Cheng sighed and said, "Brother Qin's ambitions are lofty, and this is not a place to stay for a long time after all. I wonder when you're going to go?"
"Let's go in a moment. The tone is flat but profound.
"It's good, it's good. Then the old decay will not keep Brother Qin. ”
For Qin Tao, the patriarch Wen Cheng had helped him find the Divine Tree and fulfilled his promise. And then it's time for him to make good on his promise.
Wen Cheng and Qi Ya sent Qin Tao out of the house, but they met those clansmen guarding them. Strangely, they were all prostrate on the ground, their bodies trembling, and their panic was palpable.
"What are you doing here?" asked Patriarch Wen Cheng.
The tall man's voice trembled and replied, "Patriarch, we deserve to die for our crimes, and it is really a great crime to hurt Lord Qin Tao. ”
Qin Tao couldn't help but be amused by these simple clansmen, stepped forward to help them up one by one, and said, "You are not wrong, it is your duty to protect the clansmen, and it is also my fault that I have changed too much." ”
Seeing that Qin Tao was so open-minded, several people smiled, looking extremely honest and honest.
"Okay, since Brother Qin has forgiven you, let's all disperse. Wen Cheng commanded.
Several people bowed slightly to Wen Cheng and Qin Tao, lowered their heads and left.
"Brother Qin, that's it, I can't send it far away, we will have a period later. ”
Qin Tao nodded, and arched his hand: "Grandpa Wen, Qiya, there will be a period later!" After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the entrance of the village.
"Grandpa, did you say he would come back?" Looking at Qin Tao's distant back, Qi Ya suddenly asked.
Wen Cheng didn't say anything, just smiled faintly, but his expression was full of expectation......
Qin Tao left the dense forest and headed southwest, and two days later he actually walked into a pine forest.
The dark green pine forests are misty, the fluffy soil is damp and muddy, and the withered tree trunks seem to have a dusty feeling, blending in with the tranquility of the surroundings.
The opaque forest is as silent as death, and when you walk in it, you can only feel the gusting wind and the ghost fog, as if there is a ghost door closed at the end and waiting.
Qin Tao walked slowly, trying his best to disperse the mist that was blocking the way with a trace of scorching heat in his palm. Stepping into the depths of the pine forest, the shadows of the trees became thinner and thinner, and a small clearing in the faint hollow forest looked a little out of place.
With a soft sigh, Qin Tao walked curiously towards the clearing. When he got closer, Qin Tao found that the surface of the clearing was covered by a layer of white mist, which looked like a mirror under the sunlight. There is no vegetation on the ground, and it is extremely inhospitable compared to the surrounding pine forests.
"It's so strange here. Qin Tao frowned slightly and muttered to himself.
Stepping on the ground, there was a sudden softness under my feet, white mist flatteringly wrapped around my ankles, there was not a trace of wind around, everything was surprisingly quiet.
After walking a few steps, the soil was softer, and the white mist lingered down the calves like vines, and a faint fragrance rushed into the nose. Qin Tao stopped and stood, and the white mist unscrupulously wrapped around his body, like a wind-scratching girl taking him into his arms.
The flame scar on his forehead suddenly lit up, and a layer of red shield stood out, and it actually bounced away the white mist.
The Soul Qi Shield, the most basic symbol of the Soul Lord, has a great defensive effect.
The white mist was scattered, but the ground under Qin Tao's feet was not calm, the circular white light suddenly lit up, and the soft soil began to collapse, and then a Dao Sen cold spike rushed out of the ground. Qin Tao reacted extremely quickly, jumped out of the white circle, and at the same time, the flames in his palm exploded, and he slammed straight towards the spur.
The spike seemed to sense the power of the flames, and suddenly sank into the ground with a "whoosh".
Qin Tao fell slowly, his eyes were full of shock, he wanted to find out, but he didn't expect a green light to light up behind him very suddenly.
Turning around suddenly, the green mang was already close to the front, and Qin Tao swept back lightly on tiptoe, but the green mang still hit the shield.
"Hiss"
A puff of white smoke came out of the shield, and Qin Tao looked at it, and it turned out that the green light was actually a turquoise liquid.
"Does this liquid have a corrosive surname?" Qin Tao couldn't help but exclaim secretly.
The palm of his hand turned into fire and slammed into a struggle, instantly burning the turquoise liquid. Unexpectedly, the same four streams of liquid erupted from four directions.
Jumping up and down, Qin Tao rushed with a fist of fire and dissolved the green liquor with violence. Then both fists slammed down, and an invisible flame impact suddenly caused the ground to sink, causing a violent tremor.
"It looks like a soul beast. Qin Tao glanced at the ground and concluded.
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground began to tremble violently again. In a few moments, the ground not far away suddenly collapsed into a deep pit, and a large area of sand and gravel flew up, filling the air with a choking smell of earth. Instantly, a pair of black tentacles swung out of the hole, and a white shadow crawled out.
"Black Whiskered Ice Silkworm!" Qin Tao couldn't help but gasp.
In Qin Tao's recovered memories, part of it included the knowledge of soul beasts that he had learned in the Sword Cloud Sect. And at this moment, Qin Tao was able to conclude at a glance that it was all due to his diligence at that time.
Qin Tao clearly remembered the record in the book that the black-whiskered ice silkworm was a type of highly poisonous soul beast, named after a pair of black tentacles. The most powerful thing is its venom, which is said to festering and dying if touched.
"Looks like this is your territory. Qin Tao said to the black-bearded ice silkworm.
But how can the black-whiskered ice silkworm understand, facing Qin Tao's direction is a mouthful of venom. But Qin Tao didn't panic, his right fist smashed out, and immediately scattered the green liquor.
The blow was fruitless, the ice silkworm shook its soft body, let out a buzzing sound, and a huge column of venom suddenly erupted from its big mouth, which made Qin Tao startled.
The golden flames clung to the fist, swaying with layers of heat. Qin Tao was calm and calm, his fists were put together and he swung downwards with all his strength, bursting out a flame blade like a long rainbow, instantly shattering the venom pillar.
The dots of green beads turned into poisonous mist and flew away, and Qin Tao took the opportunity to jump up, his fist as shocking as the roar of a fire dragon. The Blackbeard Ice Silkworm only felt a black shadow appear in the green mist, and then a strong flame aura swept in, suffocating it to death.
The Blackbearded Ice Silkworm was originally an ice-type soul beast, and it was naturally afraid of flames, but Qin Tao's fire was so powerful that it was inferior to its third-level strength for a while.
"Boom"
The fire fist slammed into the back of the ice silkworm, stirring up a strong gust of wind. The green mist dissipated, and the black-whiskered ice silkworm crawled stiffly on the ground, a pair of tentacles towering, and a blood hole the size of a bowl appeared on the back of the ice-like surface.
"Fire Dragon Roar" is a soul technique evolved by Qin Tao based on the legendary divine beast Fire Dragon recorded in the book, which is mainly completed by relying on flames wrapped around his fists. This is what he has figured out on his own in his experience, but there are still many imperfections.
Qin Tao was very happy to defeat the third-level black-bearded ice silkworm in one fell swoop, but when he was about to go to fetch the beast pill, a piercing scream sounded in his ears.
