Volume IV: Test Feather Seventy-Seven: The Island of Giant Trees

Qian Chao took everyone to find the place where there may be a spiritual spring, although it is not very far, but it is impossible to reach it today anyway, so a few people estimated that they had gotten rid of the entanglement of Yunxi, and they also picked up some places that might hide spiritual grass and frequently fell down to look for it under the guidance of Qian Chao, knowing that when the sky was dark and the twilight was shrouded, there was a lot of harvest on this day.

A few people stopped hurrying at night and found a hiding place, and Qian Chao arranged the hidden spirit array around the hiding place, and several people prepared to spend the night here.

"Hey, boy Qian, how did you know that there was a spiritual spring in the place where we were going?"

During the break, Tang Ping saw that Qian Chao was still studying a few maps, so he asked him curiously.

"It seems from the book, there are a few books in our library, written by the former senior brother, which says that they originally thought they could find some good places like ruins, but they were disappointed when they got there, saying that it was empty, but it was full of aura, and there was a strange spring, because there was no harvest there, so they returned in a huff, according to the records in the book, I guess the strange spring they found was the spiritual spring."

"Empty? That is, there is nothing left where they went? ”

"How is it possible, the book writes that before finding that spring, they took a lot of effort, they saw so many demon beasts guarding there before, and thought they had found the right place, but in the end they only found a spring, which made them disappointed, at first they thought they didn't find the right place, and they searched there for a few days, and then left disappointed after finding nothing."

When Lu Pingchuan heard that there were a lot of demon beasts guarding there, he came to his senses and asked, "Brother Qian, does that mean that there are many demon beasts in the place where we are going?" ”

Yan Xuan also asked, "Will there be any demon beasts there?" Now that those senior brothers have found it, shouldn't they drive away the demon beasts there? ”

"Sister Yan, this was all a long time ago, even if the demon beasts there are slaughtered, as long as the monk turns around and leaves, it won't be long before the demon beasts will occupy it again."

"Oh."

……

At the same time, in a leeward place in the mountains far away from Qian Chao and the other five people, Yun Xi and Bai Lin were resting there.

These two people don't go to the Remembrance Yuan to receive the dispatch on weekdays, so naturally they don't have any experience in going out, they were originally going to chase Li Jian, but they just lost it when they left the sect, and then chased for another day, but they didn't even see Li Jian's shadow, and now that the night is falling, the two of them have stayed outside the sect, so they found a leeward place and built a bonfire, and the two of them waited for dawn by the bonfire.

It's just that in the night when the bonfire is not lit, the two of them can always hear the sound of their clothes breaking through the air, and those voices come from a distance and go away, it seems that the two lively things that Bai Lin said really attracted many disciples in the sect to hurry there, but I don't know which one they did in such a hurry.

There were even disciples in the sect who were attracted by their bonfires when they passed by, and they actually flew close to observe the two of them, these were all high-level disciples of Qi refining in the sect, after seeing Yun Xi and Bai Lin's cultivation in a shallow manner, they either laughed mockingly or snorted coldly, and then flew away in a hurry, making Bai Lin both worried and puzzled.

"Sister Yun, were we dumped by Li Jian's kid, why didn't we see a trace after chasing for a day?"

Yun Xi also thought the same way at this time, as soon as they left the sect, the five people disappeared, it seems that they must be doing things in the worship house secretly, and after being discovered by the little girl, they were alerted, if they were really dumped by them, then the direction of the five of them must not be here, they probably deliberately lured us here.

"Almost, I don't think those five people are going in this direction now, huh! What a cunning little girl! ”

"Then what should I do," Bai Lin seemed a little anxious when he heard this, "Why don't we wait for dawn and go back to look for those people again?" ”

"Don't worry, a few of them are deliberately avoiding us, the sect is so big, as long as it is lost and then want to find it, it will be difficult, anyway, the two of us came out to see the excitement, this time I didn't find Li Jian, and next time, he will not come out in the future, but this big excitement in front of you can be seen, haven't you noticed, how many people pass by us after nightfall, it seems that if you go all the way down, you can definitely feast your eyes."

"Sister Yun, those people are all high-level disciples in the sect, wouldn't we be a little reckless like this?" Although Bai Lin was a little domineering in the sect, he was now outside the sect, and the place where he went was where many high-level disciples gathered, so he was still a little weak in his heart.

"What are you afraid of, let's just take a look, and don't compete with them, it's a big deal to stay away."

"Okay."

……

As soon as the sky dawned, Qian Chao and Tang Ping and the other five people continued to hurry.

As the day approached noon, the five of them gradually noticed that the direction they were going in had gradually changed.

The terrain under the few people gradually lowered, and even the mountains gradually lowered here, and the mountains gradually became gentle, on the contrary, a stream of water vapor became thicker and thicker, like a mist shrouded in front.

Qian Chao thought of what was written in the book and what he saw in front of him, so he said, "It may be almost there." ”

It was indeed almost there, and after flying for a while, in the thickest part of the fog, they found that there was no ground under them, and it became a small lake, because of the fog, they could not see how big this lake was, but the lake was clear, and the lake was calm, not like a dangerous place.

The water of the lake was crystal clear, it didn't look deep, and a few people could see the fine sand at the bottom of the lake when they flew low.

"Eh, how come you haven't seen a single fish in such a big lake?"

Lu Pingchuan said casually, when he saw the water, he must have wanted to get a few big fish to eat, but although the lake water was clear, there were no fish in the place he saw!

Lu Pingchuan's words reminded Li Jian, he was originally guarding against any demon beasts around, as soon as he heard Lu Pingchuan say, his sensing power went downward, and after a while, Li Jian said: "Let's fly higher, Brother Lu just said that there are no fish in this lake, I tried it, sure enough, such a large piece of water, there is really no shadow of fish, I don't know what danger will be hidden in the sand under the water, even if there is no water below us, but we are still prepared just in case." ”

After listening to Li Jian's words, several people flew away from the lake a little nervously, and they could only see a vast fog from above.

Gradually, in the fog in front of the five people, the outline of a big mountain faintly appeared, but the outline of that mountain looked a little weird.

After flying for a while, a few people flew closer, and then they realized that it was indeed a big mountain, but there was a towering giant tree growing on that mountain.

Mountains below, and giant trees above, make their silhouettes a little strange in the mist.

It is indeed a giant tree, several people stared blankly at the trunk looming in the mist, looking down, the shadow of the mountain connected below is blurry, and the crown of the tree cannot be seen upward, I don't know how tall this giant tree is, Qian Chao pondered that if the trunk is cut off, on that section, if there are hundreds of people standing on it, it must be more than enough.

Yan Xuan sighed: "What a big tree! ”

Lu Pingchuan grinned and said, "It's not small, it's not small!" ”

Tang Ping kept looking up, but unfortunately the fog was full and she couldn't see it at all, she said curiously: "Eh, what will be on the tree, should we fly up and take a look?" ”

Several people were a little moved when they heard this, except for Li Jian.

When Li Jian heard Tang Ping's words, his face changed color and said, "No! Let's not make this plan, you can't see it, but I can vaguely feel that there are evil birds in this tree, not just one, there are many, those evil birds are by no means something we can deal with, now far away, they don't want to pay attention to us, if we get close, it will be dangerous. ”

As soon as Li Jian flew close to the giant tree, he let go of the induction of his whole body, originally with his cultivation, he could not detect the situation on the top of the tree, but there were indeed a lot of big birds and demon birds living on the tree, and the wind brought up when their wings waved downward, and the aftermath of the gust of wind was keenly noticed by Li Jian, with Li Jian's heart, they were so afraid of the big birds that lived on the tree, it can be seen that the many demon birds on the top of the tree must be far from being able to defeat these five people. Therefore, as soon as he heard that Tang Ping was going to fly up to see the freshness, he immediately spoke out to stop him.

Seeing that Li Jian said solemnly, several people dispelled this idea, and several people looked up in awe, guessing what kind of demon bird it would be.

"Actually, it's not just above," Li Jian said again, "As soon as I got here, I found out that there are also a lot of things hidden below us, although the level of the things below is not high, but the number is so large, if we go down, we should be more careful, it seems that Brother Qian should be looking for a good place, there must be something in this mountain, probably that spiritual spring." ”

Several people listened and looked down.

"Almost," Qian Chao said, "Look at this giant tree, it can grow so big, it must be nourished by water vapor below, if it is not a spiritual spring, it should not be like this, since Brother Li said that there are a lot of things down here, then let's take a turn around here first, and then see clearly, how about it?" ”

A few people naturally had no objection when they heard this, so the five of them flew around the giant tree and the mountain below.

Looking up and down this circle, the five people were slightly frightened.

This mountain can be regarded as an island in the lake, surrounded by the water potential in the lake, the mountain is not small, there is no other grass and trees on the mountain, but the roots of the tangled knots between the craggy rocks loom, it seems that this giant tree should have grown between the rocks on the top of the mountain, but it is likely to be nourished by the water aura of the spiritual spring, not only the body of the tree has been so huge over time, but even the huge root system is also extending downward, like a giant hand to grasp the mountain tightly, it seems that a little force can grasp the mountain to pieces.

The five of them circled around the mountain, and finally found a hole in a mountain wall, which was dark and dark, and it was impossible to see what was inside, but when the five of them flew over, they could clearly feel that the aura emanating from the entrance of the cave was much richer than elsewhere, and it seemed that if they wanted to find the spiritual spring, they naturally had to enter from this hole.

However, Li Jian still didn't let a few people fall to the ground rashly.

"There are a lot of things on the ground, they are hidden in the soil, although they have not appeared now, but if we fall, it is estimated that those things will come out to our detriment, and in that hole, there are some strange, I don't feel very clearly, in my opinion, let's think of a way first, don't be reckless."

After listening to Li Jian's words, Tang Ping looked at the empty ground, although she didn't doubt Li Jian's words, but she couldn't see those hidden things, she didn't know what those guys looked like, what methods they had, and it was always bad to not figure out the details.

"It's better to be like this," Tang Ping said, "let's go down first to find out the truth, according to my opinion, let's start by scaring the snake, otherwise it will be really difficult to figure out how many things are waiting for us." ”

Lu Pingchuan saw that Li Jian and Qian Chao both nodded slightly, and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll go down first, and you will follow." ”

"Brother Lu," Tang Ping instructed, "Don't rush to the cave first, Brother Li said that he doesn't know much about the inside, let's go outside now, and then get closer to the cave little by little." ”

"Good!"

Lu Pingchuan agreed, and his suspended body sank.
