"Patriarch, are these demon beasts?"

Outside a huge basin, Qin Qing pointed to the statues on both sides of the steps in front of him, his eyes widened with some curiosity, and asked Qin Yixiong.

In front of me, in the basin below, from a distance, it is lush and boundless, and it is the Wood God Ancestral Forest. Qin Qing came to the Wood God Ancestral Forest this time, and the people of the Qin family wanted to come together to escort him. However, there are really not many masters of the Qin family, and those elders of the Eight Heavens and Seven Heavens are not too strong in combat power, let alone those young people who only have three heavens and four heavens.

Moreover, Qin Qing felt that since he had already torn his face with the Murong family, it was indispensable to defend against others, so he let most of the people stay in the Burning Sky Valley to defend, and only let Qin Yixiong, a master of the peak of the Nine Heavens, escort him. Qin Yixiong's combat power is strong, and he has recently cultivated the Lava Flame Fist with six or seven points of fire, even if other families want to come hard, Qin Yixiong is not afraid to be there.

In front of him, a white jade staircase wide enough for four or five horses to walk side by side led diagonally to the Wood God Ancestral Forest below, which was very low, but in the middle of the basin, like a huge sinkhole. The place where Qin Qing stood was the hillside around the basin.

On both sides of the steps, every dozen steps, there will be a pair of strange-shaped statues. The expressions of each statue are different and lifelike. The appearance of the statue looks somewhat similar to a human, but its face is quite hideous.

Qin Qing had never seen a demon beast before, so he subconsciously thought that this was a demon beast.

Qin Yixiong smiled, stroked his beard and said: "The statues of these steps have been handed down from ancient times, and I don't know who built the Dao, when the Wood God Ancestral Forest was discovered, these steps already existed, and the history is longer than that of the Chuba Empire." However, this is not a monster, but a spirit monster. ”

"Spirit monsters?" Qin Qing was stunned for a moment, and then thought of the record about spirit monsters that he had seen in a book.

In this world, in addition to humans and monsters, there is also a creature called a spirit monster.

Ordinary people often refer to 'monsters', which refers to monsters and spirits, but in fact, monsters and spirits are two completely different creatures.

Demon beasts are cultivated by beasts, they are naturally more suitable for cultivation than humans, their cultivation speed is very fast, their physical bodies are strong, and their strength exceeds that of cultivators of the same level. Most of the monster beasts are irritable, ferocious and bloodthirsty, with distinct beastly characteristics on the outside, and they even treat humans as food. Therefore, humans and monsters almost fight when they meet, and they are completely unable to communicate.

Xiaobai is actually a kind of demon beast, but she is an ancient alien species, which is not the same as ordinary demon beasts.

Spirits are originally lifeless things, such as plants, minerals, etc., and can even be a mass of qi, absorbing the Xuanqi of heaven and earth all year round, and after a series of coincidences, it produces spiritual intelligence and life formation.

Spirits are generally naturally powerful, but they don't like to fight, and generally don't actively clash with other creatures. The characters of the spirits are very distinct, and they are more extreme, some are withdrawn, some are indifferent, and some are arrogant.

If the demon beast is a ferocious 'bully' who does all kinds of evil, then the spirit monster is more like a 'hermit' who hides from the world.

Compared with monsters, the number of spirit monsters is even rarer, and they are generally in extremely hidden places, living their own small lives. Even if Qin Yixiong has traveled south and north for decades, he has never seen a spirit monster.

"Could it be that there are spirits and monsters in the Wood God Ancestral Forest?" Looking at those statues, and then looking at the Wood God Ancestral Forest in the distance, Qin Qing said to himself with some expectation.

"Someone has entered the Wood God Ancestral Forest to search before. The Wood God Ancestral Forest seems to be boundless and dangerous in our eyes, but in the eyes of some real top masters, it is defenseless. But I haven't heard of anyone finding the spirits. Qin Yixiong said: "Maybe this is just a legend." ”

As the two of them spoke, they had already walked down the steps for dozens of meters and saw a big tree not far away.

The tree was hundreds of feet high, and at the bottom of the giant tree was an arched hollow, high and wide enough for a cart drawn by eight horses. From a distance, the underside of the tree was already full of people, and people stood under the tree, as small as ants.

Around the giant tree, there was a faint layer of mist floating, and it was impossible to see what was behind the fog.

"Qing'er, look. The surroundings of this Wood God Ancestral Forest are all fog, and once I enter, I will lose my way, and even I will never be able to get close. The only entrance is the hollow of the giant tree, and every year in September, the fog at the entrance lifts for a while. Qin Yixiong pointed to the giant tree in the distance and explained with a smile, Qin Qing was the first time to come to the Wood God Ancestral Forest, and he didn't know a lot of things.

"Is the fog around here a formation similar to the Ecstasy Array?" Qin Qing asked with a flash of inspiration. In addition to cultivation on the mainland, there are also miscellaneous techniques such as array techniques, craftsmanship techniques, and alchemy, all of which are quite powerful. There are also various miscellaneous houses left by Mrs. Sanke Langjun in the leisurely residence, but they can't be opened for the time being.

"Ha Luha, you kid is smart. Qin Yixiong smiled and patted Qin Qing's shoulder: "That is a formation that can produce illusions, but it is not artificially arranged, but naturally formed, so the power is countless times greater than that of ordinary ecstasy arrays, and even masters who surpass the Nine Heavens cannot easily crack it." ”

"The master above the peak of the Nine Heavens, but he doesn't know what kind of power he has. Qin Qing thought with some yearning. The peak of the Nine Heavens, in his opinion, is already a great master, the power of his gestures is huge, and how powerful should it be to surpass the peak stage of the Nine Heavens.

"If the royal family really sent the prince here, maybe you will see it today. Qin Yixiong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice.

As they spoke, the two of them had already walked down the steps and came to the entrance of the Wood God Ancestral Forest under the giant tree.

Outside the entrance is a meadow, at this time, a lot of people have gathered, three or five groups gathered together to chat and talk, from the way they dress, it seems that the people of the nine great families of Tianhe Mansion have almost arrived.

Although according to the agreement, only the most outstanding young disciples of the family could participate in the Wood God Ancestral Forest Trial, each family sent a large number of masters, guards, and even servants of the older generation to send the children of the family to participate in the competition.

It's also a way to show off the strength of the family. Therefore, in the open space outside the entrance, each family has a dozen people at least a dozen or dozens at most, and hundreds of people have already arrived.

In this way, there are only two people in the Qin family, Qin Qing and Qin Yixiong, and they seem lonely, a little shabby and pitiful.

In the middle of the meadow, a magnificent high platform has been erected, and the royal flags are planted on both sides of the platform, but there is no one on it for the time being.

Under the stage, there are already hundreds of people waiting for people, in the crowd, four tiger skin chairs are lined up, behind each chair, there is also a different flag, among the four chairs, there are already three people seated, but the last one is empty.

"This is the four sons of the last session. Qin Yixiong introduced Qin Qing.

In addition to Murong Hong, the second-ranked strong man in yellow is the young master of the Tuoba family, the reckless son Tuoba Volcano, and the eighth heaven junior cultivator.

Beside Tuoba Volcano, sat a young woman. I saw her white and tender melon seed face, Danfeng's eyes were as charming as silk between a smile and a smile, and her body was dressed quite openly, revealing a small waist with a hand, and a pair of snow-white jade feet were also ** outside.

Many of the people from the nine major families around her looked at her with admiration, and even some elders of various families in their forties and fifties looked at this woman with a hint of coveting in their eyes. It seems that this woman is also a limelight figure in Tianhe Mansion.

"Helian Jinghong, the daughter-in-law of the Helian family, is a mid-level of the Seven Heavens, and their family has been a female leader for generations. It is also the only one among the nine families that maintains a good relationship with the Qin family. When Qin Yixiong said this, he suddenly showed a somewhat strange smile, leaned into Qin Qing's ear and whispered: "Her mother, that is, Helian Yunrong, the head of the Helian family, had a crush on your father back then. ”

Qin Qing also smiled slightly when he heard this, his father was not only a genius back then, but also a talent, a young hero, and it was not surprising that he was loved by many beauties.

Although Helian Jinghong's appearance can be regarded as extremely beautiful, compared with Qin Zhiling, it is inferior by three points. Qin Qing's gaze only lingered on her for a moment, and then fell to the first seat on her left hand.

On the first chair on the left hand, there was a blue-clothed young man with a somewhat gloomy face, who was none other than Murong Fu. The Nine Heavens mid-level master Murong Hong who I saw last time was also following him.

Qin Qing's eyes condensed slightly, and he saw that in addition to Murong Hong, there were seven or eight masters behind Murong Fu, and their momentum was not weak.

"Hmph, the Murong family has really made a lot of money, their family only has a total of six Nine Heavens masters, and this time they actually sent three Nine Heavens masters and six Eight Heavens masters to cheer him on. ”

Qin Yixiong snorted coldly and pulled Qin Qing through the crowd.

"Old Patriarch Qin, hello!"

"Lao Qin, I haven't seen you for many years, but your old demeanor is still the same. ”

When the people around saw Qin Yixiong, they greeted him one after another, although the nine great families often attacked each other, they would still do things to save face. It won't be like a street scoundrel who stares at each other as soon as they meet.

Qin Yixiong also responded lightly, took Qin Qing, and came to the fourth seat.

This chair was empty, it should have been Qin Xuan's position, but now that Qin Duan was defeated in Qin Qing's hands, it should naturally be Qin Qing to sit on.

"Qing'er, sit here and wait, the trial can only begin after the royal family comes. Qin Yixiong said.

Qin Qing nodded, and was about to sit down, when suddenly a rude voice came from not far away.

"This position can only be sat by the four princes, why do you sit?"

Following the prestige, it was the strong man who spoke, the reckless son Tuoba Volcano, who was crossing Erlang's legs with a domineering face.
