Chapter 174: The Heart of Plants and Trees (1)

A few days later, Shangguan Xue found an opportunity to take Yi Yuan to find a secluded place, and she said solemnly with her eyes: "The abolition of the Confucian Sword Immortal Zhou Xing's secret realm has been rumored in the sect, and it is said that after the ancestor of the Zhou family learned about it, his anger soared into the sky, and he had sent several masters of the Yuan Infant Stage to the Demon Beast Mountain Range to find the murderer Cao Weibo, and to investigate the cause of Zhou Renxing's death. ”

Yi Yuan's face was calm, his eyes did not fluctuate at all, and signaled Shangguan Xue not to worry: "No matter how they check, these really can't be found on his body, since ancient times, wicked people have their own wicked people, and if you do too many things that hurt heaven and reason, you will get retribution sooner or later." ”

When Shangguan Xue heard this, her heart was a little relieved, although there was something strange about it, but she was smart and smart, and she had a faint guess in her heart, and she would not delve into the reason, so she continued: "Lei Fan and their group, the harvest of exploring the Ancient Cave Mansion is also quite rich, they are estimated to have to explore the Demon Beast Mountain Range for a period of time, shall we join them?" ”

Yi Yuan pondered for a while, shook his head and said: "There is no need to deliberately meet with them, the two of us are together, practicing in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, with the tiger vigorously as a companion all the way, and there is no demon beast that does not have long eyes in front of you, isn't it beautiful?" ”

Shangguan Xue instantly understood Yi Yuan's thoughts, and she didn't refute it out loud, with Yi Yuan's cultivation, even if they encountered the demon beasts in the early stage of Yuan Ying, they were not afraid; What's more, they practiced all the way, with the purpose of hunting the demon beasts of the Jindan period, not to mention their safety.

The sunset is slanting, the top of the ancient trees, the green leaves can't cover the endless scenery, the warm wind disturbs people's feelings, and the sunshine falls in the west, pulling out a long back of the two figures who are leaning on each other; There was already a hint of dryness and heat in the air, and the evening breeze blew Shangguan Xue's messy hair, emitting bursts of faint fragrance, tugging at people's heartstrings and making people unable to take their eyes off it.

When the night was overwhelming, the tiger vigorously drooped its head and came slowly, raising clouds of dust. For several days, it followed the route that the Golden Feather Bald Eagle had used to move, but it couldn't find each other, and it was extremely depressed, so it couldn't help but let out a few long howls, scaring away countless insects, birds and beasts.

"Ahem, okay, tiger vigorously, don't roar a few times, and don't look at what time it is." Yi Yuan pulled Shangguan Xue and fell to the ground lightly, and said in a dissatisfied tone.

"The stupid bird of the golden feather bald eagle, how can you say that it is gone?" Tiger Dali is still a little indignant, and now it has the ability to avenge the dead tiger mother, and suddenly it can't find a partner, and it is very depressed in its heart.

"Haha, it can't run away, and when we meet it later, the two of us block the road by ourselves, making it difficult for it to fly." Yi Yuan comforted softly.

Hu Dali nodded his head in a depressed mood, and for the time being, he could only put away his desire for revenge, carrying Yi Yuan and Shangguan Xue, and quickly walked through the mountains and forests.

After two days of non-stop trekking, Yi Yuan and the others returned to the outer area of the trial tower, and soon met with their uncle Lu Yunfeng and aunt Jiang Yuxuan, after some discussion, they decided to work together within a million miles of this demon beast mountain range, and strictly required Yi Yuan not to use his own strength at will.

Yi Yuan understood the importance of low-key development, so he followed the advice of his uncle Lu Yunfeng and aunt Jiang Yuxuan, and he would not burst out of his true strength unless he had to.

As for the current place of residence of the descendants of the Wu Clan, Yi Yuan does not plan to go back for the time being, he has already discussed it with the Demon Elder Brother; Regarding their existence, Yi Yuan did not plan to tell his uncle and aunt for the time being, and also told Shangguan Xue not to say it, it has nothing to do with trust or distrust, the most important thing is that the fewer people who know, the more unexpected the effect will be in the future.

In the next ten days, four people and one tiger, along the demon beast mountain range, went deep into a short distance, encountered a lot of low-level demon beasts, they directly cleaned up along the way, these demon beast bodies, brought back to the sect can be exchanged for a lot of task points and cultivation resources.

On this day, Yi Yuan and his party finally blocked a black panther of the demon beast in the early stage of Jindan in the dense forest of the mountain stream.

The black panther body is half smaller than that of the tiger, and it is born with extreme speed, but the realm is behind Lu Yunfeng and Jiang Yuxuan, and the strength of the two has risen sharply recently, and it is easy to block its way; Even Shangguan Xue, under Yi Yuan's dedicated teaching, has also made great progress in light footwork, just enough to keep up with the speed of the black panther; Not to mention the tiger vigorously, it is also a demon beast, and its cultivation in the later stage of Jindan far exceeds that of the black panther, and under the burst of momentum, the black panther does not dare to choose its sharpness.

It's a pity that the black panther misjudged the situation, thinking that Yi Yuan's mana cultivation was the lowest, so he took him as a breakthrough, fought for his life quickly, and after receiving Yi Yuan's fist, he spit blood and retreated, although it was a little confused, but it was not stupid, and rushed to Shangguan Xue without thinking, and after receiving another palm, the whole head was stunned, full of questions, with its leopard's previous experience, it seemed to be useless.

The four people and one tiger didn't give the black panther demon beast much time to think, and they approached together, although it rushed left and right, it could never break through the encirclement of everyone.

"Meow!" The demon beast black panther let out a terrifying roar, accompanied by powerless horror, and the hairs on its whole body stood upside down, revealing the appearance of choosing people to devour, but unfortunately none of them were able to cope with it.

A moment later, without incident, the demon beast black panther still fell, and it let out its last scream and roar, and asked Tiger Dali: "Why did you join forces with human monks to hunt your own kind?" For the sake of the tiger, aren't you afraid that there will be no place for you in the future? ”

The tiger claw paused slightly, and then slashed across the black panther's head at a very fast speed, and before the other party could explode the golden pill, his head and body separated, and the brilliance in his eyes gradually dissipated, and no matter how big his eyes were, he couldn't change the outcome of death.

Since Hu Dali followed Yi Yuan, he had already made a decision in his heart, so there was no trace of turbulence and guilt in his heart. They are demon beasts, the weak eat the strong, and they are vividly reflected in the natural world, even if the demon beast black panther does not die at their hands, it will also die in the mouths of other demon beasts with higher cultivation.

After cleaning up the corpse of the black panther and the demon pill, the four people and one tiger followed the breath left by it, and found a sturdy ancient spirit tree in a very hidden place in the deep stream, with a diameter of more than ten zhang and a width of more than ten zhang, and the height was as high as other ancient trees, hiding in the dense forest; If you pass by in the air, it is difficult to spot it if you are not careful, and the black panther's nest is located in the branches above the spirit tree, coexisting in harmony. There were strange flowers and plants around them, Yi Yuan and the others picked up the high-level spirit grass, and stared at the ancient spirit tree a few times.

"This tree is extremely rare, such a wide body, estimated to be tens of thousands of years old, maybe it contains the heart of strange things and plants, let's split it and take a look." Lu Yunfeng said casually, staring at the ancient spirit tree with bright eyes, grinding his fists.

The leaves of the spirit tree shook "whoosh", and the falling branches and vines swayed inadvertently, and Yi Yuan obviously felt an unusual aura. The spirit of plants and trees is definitely a strange thing in heaven and earth, whether it is used for alchemy or swallowed directly, it has unexpected benefits, and the essence of life contained in it is a rare strange thing that can increase life span and cultivation at the same time.

Yi Yuan nodded, and directly pulled out the best spirit sword, if he didn't guess wrong, this spirit tree should have given birth to spiritual wisdom, and the cultivation has reached the peak of the Yuan Infant, the other party's breath fluctuated slightly just now, and he was keenly perceived, and he quietly signaled everyone to be cautious, just in case.

At this moment, as if Yi Yuan's conjecture had been fulfilled, more than ten branches and vines suddenly shot out from the body of the ancient spirit tree, and each rattan had golden light flowing on it, seemingly indestructible, silently and quickly stabbing straight at Yi Yuan and them.

Fortunately, Yi Yuan warned in advance, and everyone was on guard and avoided it one after another, and at the same time, the spirit sword in his hand waved, and the sword light slashed towards the branches and vines; The branches and vines of the ancient spirit tree were blocked, but they were full of resilience and unharmed, and then they were intertwined into a large net, once again enveloping the four people and one tiger.

Lu Yunfeng snorted coldly, and the true fire in his body instantly appeared at his fingertips, and he gently waved out more than ten fires, burning towards the rushing golden light rattan, and it made a "zizi" sound as soon as it came into contact; The branches and vines of the spirit tree shook slightly, and then stopped, and the golden light flowed faster, flickering brightly, and the fire that was wrapped around it was extinguished in a few moments.

Seeing this, everyone was shocked in their hearts, the spirit tree branches and vines containing golden light were not afraid of the real fire, and now it was a little difficult, and they waved the spirit swords in their hands one after another, intertwining into a piece of defensive sword nets, preventing the invasion of the spirit tree rattans.

The rattan of the spirit tree glowing with golden light, and suddenly the golden light bloomed, and everyone felt a little irresistible, and the space that could move was constantly compressed.

The only thing that can suspend the attack of the Spirit Tree rattan is the real fire in the body, although the effect is average, but it still has some effect, everyone has sacrificed the true fire in the body and ignited the rattan, especially when Yi Yuan's true fire was lit, the two rattans around his head shrank back significantly, and the appearance of hesitation made Yi Yuan's mind settle down.

With the wielding of the true fire in Yi Yuan's hand, the golden rattan above his head was obviously unwilling to touch it, and retreated a distance, flying in the air, and the rest of the rattan smelled and retreated a distance, suspended above everyone's heads, stretching and shrinking like a snake letter, threatening everyone's safety at all times.

"This ancient spirit tree should be rooted in the ground and be ten thousand years old, it can grow to such a thick and strong tree, at least 100,000 years old, and its trunk must contain the heart of grass and trees, maybe 10,000 years. 100,000 years ago, although this spirit plant is rare, but also often appeared, and now it is almost extinct in the world, I have not heard of anyone who has encountered it for a long time, I never thought that we would encounter it today, it is really a good creation. Jiang Yuxuan recalled while guarding, "This tree must have opened its spiritual wisdom and cultivated profoundly, and the dense forests around it are probably all part of its body, and it may be difficult to be good." ”

Yi Yuan's eyes quickly glanced around, if he said this, their group was now surrounded in the dense forest, if they wanted to get out, they had to put down the ancient spirit tree, it seemed that they were taken as prey by the spirit tree.

"Humans, don't struggle, you can't escape from my encirclement, when the true fire and mana in your body are exhausted, in my realm, you are like meat on the chopping block, there is no point in dying and struggling, hahaha......"

The sound that echoed above everyone's heads made their scalps tingle, and then there was an indescribable fragrance everywhere in the space, making their eyes a little dazed.

"Hold your breath, this smell is too evil." Yi Yuan reminded everyone loudly, and then took out the obstacle avoidance pill, and each person sent one, and after everyone swallowed it, their spirits were concentrated.

"It's useless, you can't resist for long, just wait for death!" The voice of temptation appeared above everyone's heads again, the fragrance that permeated the surroundings became stronger and stronger, and there were more and more golden branches and vines suspended above everyone's heads, if it weren't for the fear of the true fire in Yi Yuan's hands, it would have surged down a long time ago.

"What to do? The cultivation of this ancient spirit tree is definitely at the peak of the Yuanying. Tiger Dali was also a little helpless, it tried its best to cut off a single rattan, and its heart was already uneasy.

Yi Yuan carefully observed the golden rattan on the top of his head, and finally confirmed that there were thirty-six, even if it was so, it was a little difficult to cut one, even if he was defeated by the demon beast of the same cultivator, he would have enough time to escape, but against the siege of this extremely flexible golden rattan, he had no good way for the time being, only the true fire in his hand could restrain one or two, just like this, it was a little difficult for them to get out of trouble.
