Chapter 255: Acquaintances
This was the first time Xu Chen had taken the initiative to enter this kind of strange forest.
Previously, he and the Phantom Pupil Demon Lord had been running around, occasionally trying to enter the dense forest to escape, but in fact, not only could they not get rid of the three-headed demon dog, but even put the two of them into a greater crisis, so after a few short experiments, the two never entered the dense forest again.
At present, this dense forest is deeper and darker than the dense forest that he came into contact with before, and the huge plants cover the sky and the sun as high as a hundred feet, so before Xu Chen landed, he felt a terrifying feeling of hair standing on end.
Because after coming down, he felt that he couldn't discern the direction.
There was a strong aura of murder and hostility everywhere in all directions.
It is as if every tree, every vine, every weed, even every stone and every inch of dirt is like a dormant living thing, waiting for an opportunity to strangle and devour all the creatures that enter it.
There was a cold and terrifying ancient wilderness in the dense forest, as if an ancient beast that chose to devour people roared and roared in the sea of knowledge, making people confused.
This is a completely different world from the Underworld.
There is no resemblance at all.
Xu Chen entered the dense forest and observed for a while, then felt the roar of the beast and the fluctuations of the aura from the battle, and began to flow into a cloud step, turning into an afterimage and quickly disappearing.
Dense hostility was surging in all directions, and Xu Chen was always vigilant but unconcerned.
This kind of hostility in the dense forest, although full of murderous intent, is different in strength and weakness, and basically cannot cause harm to him.
He needed to catch up with the Terran now.
This may be an extremely important clue to his departure from the wilderness.
It's at least 100,000 miles away from the Wind Clan's inhabited wilderness.
In the mortal realm, that is the scope of spanning more than a dozen human kingdoms.
But according to the Phantom Pupil Demon Lord, this little range is still not even one percent of the Netherworld, and the border area between the Netherworld and the mortal realm is hundreds of millions of miles, even if it is an ordinary Demon Venerable-level big devil, he doesn't necessarily know how big the Netherworld is.
Therefore, it is even more difficult to find an exit in such a vast area than to find a needle in a haystack.
The only good news at the moment is that the Shadow Pupil Demon Lord has successfully brought him to the Underworld Border, and he already has the approximate range of the passage.
According to the rumors left by the Wind Clan, when the ancestors of the Terran Race evacuated the Underworld, they destroyed all the teleportation passages, with the purpose of blocking the Immortal Beasts from entering the mortal realm.
And such a huge gap in front of him can only be done by super strong people.
Therefore, this may be a passage that was destroyed in the first place.
Xu Chen kept chasing along the large number of collapsed and destroyed plants, and the battle fluctuations in front of him were getting closer and closer.
And Xu Chen carefully discerned, the human race was not one, but several.
At this time, it was being chased and attacked by a large number of wild beasts, and the situation seemed to be very bad.
In the dark forest, whether it is a demon beast or a dark beast, there is no good stubble.
The distance was still a little far, and Xu Chen couldn't judge how many beasts there were and how strong they were, but since the human race was able to fight against these beasts, at least the strength was still good, which also made him feel a little more excited and confident.
In the dark dense forest ahead, at this time, five human races wearing animal skins or linen clothes were fighting to the death with seven or eight giant beasts.
The giant beast is strong and weak, the shape is strange, the big one is more than twenty zhang, the small one is also seven or eight zhang, one head exudes an incomparably fierce aura, the demonic aura is surging, and the mouth is spewing black light, the most powerful of which is at least five orders, every attack, there is a terrifying halo around the turbulence, and all the trees within the range of the halo will be destroyed and turned into dust.
The five of them are old and young, male and female, their breath is cold and weird, although their appearance seems normal, but in fact, their faces are pale and thin and have a faint black gas, just like the legendary ghost cultivator who has not seen the sun for many years.
Among them, the strongest is a thin and tall man with a withered yellow beard and an old face, who is still wearing a bun, and is holding a magic weapon to defeat the three largest giant beasts alone, and the black qi billowing all over his body continues to release a powerful cold aura, but the spell released is a pure human realm monk technique, and the thunder is bursting, full of weirdness and discord.
The other three men and one woman are each fighting a smaller giant beast, but the weapons used are messy, with clubs and animal bones, although they also exude an aura similar to magic weapons, but they are obviously crudely made, although they are more like normal magic weapons than the style of the Wind Clan, but the craftsmanship is simply unbearable.
The five of them were scattered within a radius of several miles, fighting and retreating, and using whistles to transmit messages to each other.
But in fact, at this time, the battle had entered a stalemate, and the five people had been completely entangled by several giant beasts and could not get rid of it.
"Ah~"
With a scream, one of the weakest young men was swept out by a giant beast, breaking several trees one after another, screaming and tumbling into the depths of the dense forest.
The old man was at least three hundred zhang away at this time, and he roared in a hurry, and his whole body exploded with spiritual light, turning into countless sharp blue-black blades that swept out in all directions, forcing the three-headed giant beast besieging him to retreat, and then his body shook and he was ready to pounce to save people, but not far away, another woman's scream came.
"Shizun save me!"
The old man suddenly turned around and threw himself in the direction of the woman, and at the same time, with a wave of his hand, the magic weapon turned into a blue light and smashed into the giant beast that pounced on the young man.
It seems that the two companions were injured one after another and caused panic, and the remaining two middle-aged men also began to lose their support, and one of them directly abandoned the giant beast and fled into the forest.
"Wang Daolin, you dare~" The old man roared loudly.
But the man threw something backwards, only to hear a loud bang, a blinding red light exploded, and the giant beast was stopped at the same time, the man had disappeared.
This was like the last straw that pressed the camel, and the scene that was still evenly matched collapsed in an instant, and the four Terrans were in danger.
The eight-headed beast roared and pounced on the four.
"Boom~"
At this moment, a cyan thunderbolt with a thickness of more than a foot suddenly fell from the sky and smashed on the giant beast that had already pounced in front of a middle-aged man wearing animal skin.
The huge body of the giant beast sank down, letting out a terrible scream, half of its neck was shattered by the thunder, and blue-black blood water like a waterfall spurted out wildly, and in an instant it was twisted into ashes by the churning thunder light.
The sudden huge movement suddenly made several demon beasts and the four human clans suddenly stunned.
A cyan figure flickered from the dense forest and appeared in front of another giant beast, turning into an afterimage, holding a magic weapon of green thunder and flashing, and at the same time, a simple bronze mirror above his head flashed out, turning into twelve bronze mirrors in an instant, and in the blue light spitting, twelve doppelganger lights and shadows appeared, each of them used Dao magic to launch a tide-like attack on several giant beasts.
"Qinglan Splitting Technique?" The old man exclaimed loudly with a dull face.
Xu Chen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his heart was overjoyed, and his divine sense voice shouted: "Everyone, hurry up and retreat, I won't be able to stop it for long!" ”
"Thank you!" The old man came back to his senses, and with a wave of his hand, a cyan wind swept across a thousand feet, rolling up two men and a woman, and their figures flashed away.
Xu Chen used the Flowing Cloud Step to flicker back and forth between several giant beasts, using the thunder fire pestle next to the wild hammer to attract hatred, and when the breath of the four people had gradually blurred at least ten miles away, only then did the phantom of two shells appear behind him, and suddenly disappeared from the encirclement of several giant beasts.
With Xu Chen's disappearance, the light and shadow of the clone left by the Qinglan Beamsplitter lasted for a moment and then quickly collapsed and disappeared.
Several giant beasts fell into a daze for a moment, roaring back and forth between the collapsed giant trees, searching for the breath of the enemy.
However, at this time, Xu Chen was already a few miles away, and his divine sense also caught up with the figure of the four old men in front of him, and then the shell fanned a few times, and his figure followed like a flash of lightning.
Behind him, the roar and impact of the behemoth came and went, but it was clearly out of direction.
Although the old man fled first with his companions, he also seemed to have slowed down and was waiting for Xu Chen.
Feeling a divine aura behind him, he stopped in a sparse rocky clearing twenty miles away, and soon, Xu Chen's figure flashed and appeared in front of the four of them.
But before Xu Chen could speak, the old man said with excitement on his face: "This place is still not safe, Xiaoyou, let's leave here first and talk!" ”
"Good!" Although Xu Chen had a thousand words to ask at the moment, he also knew that this was not a place to stay for a long time, so he followed the four old men to unfold their bodies again, rushed out of the dark forest, and galloped all the way to the depths of the gap.
Half an hour later, the men arrived near a small lake.
Surrounded by boulders, there are steep peaks everywhere, and the fog is chaotic in the distance, but it is impossible to see what the state is.
Several people stopped together, and the old man asked with excitement on his face and a little incoherently: "Who did Xiaoyou come from, how could he appear alone at the border of the Underworld, and why did he use the Qinglan Splitting Technique of the Jade Qing Palace?" ”
As soon as Xu Chen heard the three words of Yuqing Palace, he suddenly felt like he had found his father, and instantly had a tearful excitement, and hurriedly performed a Taoist general official salute:
"The junior Taiyuan Gate Xu Chen, who fell from the mortal realm to the underworld realm not long ago, is looking for a way back, since the seniors know the Yuqing Palace and the Qinglan Shadow Splitting Technique, it seems that they also came from the mortal realm, but I don't know if I can tell me where the road back to the mortal realm is?"
"Taiyuan Gate?"
When the old man and the other three heard this, they couldn't help but exclaim in unison, and the youngest man among them excitedly grabbed Xu Chen's arm and said eagerly: "You, you are really a disciple of the Taiyuan Sect, who came from the mortal realm not long ago?" ”
Xu Chen was stunned for a moment and quickly nodded: "If it is fake, I am indeed a disciple of the Taiyuan Sect of the Song Kingdom, and I just fell in from the Netherworld Rift a few months ago, do Daoyou also know about the Taiyuan Sect?" ”
The young man suddenly choked with tears in his eyes and said, "I am also a disciple of Taiyuan Sect, and I fell in from the mortal realm eight years ago......"
But speaking of this, he looked Xu Chen up and down again and said with some doubts: "You, if you are a disciple of Taiyuan Sect, why haven't I seen you?" ”
