Chapter 203: Ambush
Click!
Xu Mu waved the thunder sword in his hand and split the branches that were blocking the way in front of him.
According to the white cat's prompt, if you fly, it is easy to attract the attack of demon beasts, in order to save spiritual power, Xu Mu chose to walk forward.
"The trees here are really hard!"
Xu Mu picked up the fallen branch on the ground. The leaves are green and tender, and the trees are dark brown, and when you tap them with your fingers, you immediately make a golden and iron clanging sound.
Xu Mu grabbed his five fingers and pressed hard, and with a bang, the branches exploded, flying everywhere, and some of them shot deep into the soil.
Judging from the experiment, these seemingly ordinary trees are already harder than ordinary mortal iron, and with a little refining, they are a good low-level magic weapon.
"There is abundant spiritual energy here, and there are a large number of fierce beasts infested, and if they remain a little harder, they can't survive at all."
The puppet cat was bored and explained to Xu Mu.
"That's right!"
Xu Mu nodded.
Like humans, plants evolve in response to their environment.
This is also the reason why more spiritual plants will be born in areas with abundant spiritual energy.
Of course, more dangers will be born.
"It's a pity that these plants and trees contain evil energy, otherwise you can collect some!" Xu Mu said regretfully.
There is abundant spiritual energy here, and no one has set foot in it for many years, and there are rare and exotic grasses everywhere, spiritual fruits and spiritual trees, if you collect it, it is definitely a lot of wealth.
"Although these Suzuki can't make magic weapons, they can be used to make puppets, and they are not all worthless."
The puppet cat stretched and continued: "Although it allows you to save spiritual power, if you continue to walk so slowly, I am afraid that the spiritual power consumption will be even greater. ”
There is no stopping here and the outside world, there is evil qi everywhere, Xu Mu needs to use spiritual power to protect his body all the time, and the spiritual power consumption can be full at all.
If you are using a defensive magic weapon, the spiritual power consumption will be even greater.
"Senior, don't worry!! I'm just familiar with the environment first, and besides, isn't your master also a set time! Xu Mu said with a hippie smile.
"Whatever!"
The puppet cat lay on his shoulder, squinting lazily, as if unwilling to talk nonsense with him.
Xu Mu saw that it was cute, so he couldn't help but want to reach out and stroke it, but before his hand could touch it, the puppet cat's body suddenly emitted a white spiritual light, blocking his hand.
"What are you doing?"
The puppet cat suddenly opened its eyes, its dark pupils staring at him.
"Don't get me wrong, senior, I'm just touching you!"
“……”
The puppet cat snorted coldly, jumped directly off his shoulder, and landed on a nearby tree,
"No way!"
The puppet cat raised its chin and looked at Xu Mu with disdain, living like a tsundere little princess.
"If it doesn't work, forget it!"
Xu Mu spread his hands indifferently, and continued to walk forward with his sword.
The further you go, the taller the trees become, and some can even stretch out into the clouds, like a building block that supports the world.
The hardness of this kind of tree can already refine a fourth-order spiritual weapon, and the heart of the tree can even be used as the main material of a sixth-order spiritual weapon.
It's a pity that the evil qi contained in this kind of tree is heavier, not to mention using it for refining, just holding it in your hand can disturb your mind, and even the demon monks have to be cautious when using it.
The more he observed, the more Xu Mu felt that there was a problem here.
Especially after inhaling a wisp of evil qi into the body and trying to refine it to no avail.
It's not that he hasn't been in contact with demonic monks, and he even has a lot of refining corpses with yin and evil qi on his hands.
But whether it was the demonic monk he came into contact with, or the refining corpse in his hand, the yin and evil qi contained in it was qualitatively different from here.
If you had to compare, one was water and the other was mercury.
Whether it's destructive or erosive, it's a world of difference.
This is also the reason why he deliberately stalled for time.
If you don't figure it out, you dare to mess around there, and the ghost knows what monsters you will meet later.
The white cat turned a blind eye to his actions, as if allowing him to discover the secrets of this place.
However, as the white cat said, the longer he stays, the greater the consumption of spiritual power, and the more unfavorable it is for him.
Although he had a lot of spirit stones and elixirs that replenished his spiritual power, it was impossible for him to stay indefinitely.
Not to mention, these evil qi can also affect his divine thoughts and consume his spiritual power to a certain extent.
The replenishment of spiritual power is much more troublesome than spiritual power.
Xu Mu looked at the puppet cat that was silently passing between the branches, and the other party didn't seem to care about the erosion of the evil qi at all.
However, considering the identity of the other party's puppet, it doesn't seem to be incomprehensible.
It is estimated that it is precisely for this reason that the woman will let them follow.
I don't know how long I walked, a person and a cat suddenly stopped, and the puppet cat jumped back on Xu Mu's shoulder without hesitation, with a hint of vigilance in his expression.
Although it is not afraid of the evil qi in the space, its real strength is not strong, and it still has to rely on Xu Mu.
Xu Mu squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the surrounding environment.
At this time, they were in a dense forest, surrounded by dense ancient trees, the smallest of which had to be hugged by two people, hundreds of meters high, the bark of the trees was dark red, and pieces were attached to the trees like scales.
The heavy leaves above the head block the already small amount of light, forming a mottled path on the rotting leaves on the ground, and the surrounding is so quiet that only the chirping of birds and the subtle sound of the wind can be heard.
Xu Mu released his divine thoughts to check, but he didn't find any clues, but he obviously had a feeling of being targeted by something in his heart.
"It's supposed to be disguised, you can attack nearby!" The puppet cat reminded.
"Good!"
Xu Mu nodded, took out three fourth-order ice sword talismans from the storage bag, and threw them in three directions.
These talismans were made by Leng Yuening idle and bored, Xu Mu had a lot of them, for him now, this kind of talisman is useless, but it is very suitable to use it as a test, it can save the spiritual power in the body.
Burst!
The rune burned in the air, and the runes on it were stimulated, quickly absorbing the surrounding heaven and earth aura, condensing into a handleless blue ice sword, emitting cold air all over its body, shooting towards the surroundings.
One of them shot at the air, as if it had touched an invisible rope, and after flying for a distance, it actually froze in the air.
The other shot into the sky and disappeared into the thick foliage.
The last shot shot at a tall giant tree, and with a pop, the ice sword seemed to pierce into some liquid, and then a round lump of dark brown bark fell from the tree, along with the ice sword.
Hiss!
As soon as the round lump of bark hit the ground, it let out a piercing hiss, and then catapulted out eight arthropods, opened six yellow compound eyes, and struggled desperately on the ground to get up, but the ice sword was too heavy, and it obviously didn't have much strength.
"Spider monsters?"
Xu Mu recognized at a glance that this was an insect demon beast, but before he could confirm it carefully, the hissing sound instantly filled the entire dense forest.
"Isn't this going to ......!" Xu Mu looked up fiercely.
All the big trees bulged up one by one like goosebumps, and then under the bark, one by one arthropods popped out, and the dense yellow compound eyes opened at the same time, and between turning, they all looked at Xu Mu on the ground.
