Chapter 14: The Grass of the Human Face
The time of dizziness was very short, only a short breath, and Ye Qing woke up in the blink of an eye.
The moment he came to his senses, a flash of orange fire appeared in his eyes, like a candle flame.
Ye Qing was startled, although he didn't feel any threat in the firelight, he still didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly retreated.
"Bang ......"
However, the moment he retreated, the flame exploded, and the orange-red fire filled his eyes and hit his face.
Suddenly, Ye Qing only felt that his face was burning, but the flames seemed to be surging and terrifying, but in fact, the temperature was not high, just like warm water, and it did not cause him any harm.
After calming down, Ye Qing looked into the grass, and saw two strange-shaped grasses that seemed to have grown feet, and they were constantly drilling into the grass.
Two grasses, one with bell-like flowers hanging on the branches and leaves, every time they move, there is a sound like wind chimes, crisp and pleasant.
The branches and leaves of the other grass were covered with lantern-like fruits, through which orange light could be faintly seen, like a lit lantern.
"Bellflowers, lantern plants......"
Ye Qing was stunned, and a flower and a grass had already disappeared into the woods.
"Unlucky, I was tricked by two grasses!" The two grasses, one is called bellflower, the flower is like a bell, which can make a bell-like sound, and has the effect of briefly confusing people's minds, and the other is a famous lantern plant, the fruit is like a lantern, and there is a ray of fire in it, which is better at night, and can be used for lighting.
Bellflowers and lantern plants are both mortal monsters, and there is no harm, they just like to play tricks on people, bellflowers confuse people's hearts, and lantern plants take the opportunity to spew flames and attack others.
Although the flame of the lantern plant does not burn others, it contains a black powder that adheres to the flame, and often makes people feel as if they have been burned by a smoky fire.
With the cold light reflected by the blade, Ye Qing really saw that his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and the hair on his forehead was also dry and curly, exuding a burning smell.
"Well, one day I will catch you and pull out the bells and lanterns from you. Ye Qing shrugged, a little crying and laughing, and walked towards the stream.
Although this powder is not poisonous, it sticks to the face and is sticky, uncomfortable, and detrimental to his image, so he has to wash it.
Walking to the side of the stream, Ye Qing first carefully observed the surrounding environment, and found no danger, before squatting down, scooping up some water, and cleaning it.
However, at this moment, a layer of ripples spread slightly on the surface of the water, and something like a face appeared at the bottom of the water.
The next moment, that face slowly squirmed, turned into a secluded giant mouth, and bit Ye Qing who was washing his face.
"Whoa......
A bleak sword light flickered, slashing at the giant mouth, and the huge mouth of the huge secluded forest was directly split in two.
Taking this opportunity, Ye Qing took two steps back, staring at the giant mouth in the water with burning eyes.
And the giant mouth that he divided into two is not a giant mouth at all, but a series of aquatic plants, and many aquatic plants are entangled together to form the appearance of a giant mouth.
"Human face grass, blood-level weird!" Ye Qing instantly recognized the aquatic plants in the water.
"Whoosh ......"
At this time, those aquatic plants broke through the water, like spears, and stabbed directly at Ye Qing on the shore.
Ye Qing was not in a hurry, the long knife swept, the momentum sank, and all the aquatic plants that stabbed him were cut off, and then instead of retreating, the muscles of his arms swelled, and he slashed at the aquatic plants in the water.
The aquatic plants wriggled and intertwined with each other, forming a shield to block the falling long knives.
Ye Qing's long knife slashed at the shield formed by aquatic plants, as if it was cut on cotton, and he was powerless, only cutting off a few aquatic plants, and then he was exhausted.
"It's so hard, it's really a blood-level weird!" Ye Qing was surprised in his heart, although he didn't do his best with this sword, it was much bigger than the average martial artist who had just stepped into the Qi Condensation Realm, and even so, he only cut off a few aquatic plants, which showed how hard it was.
Not daring to slack off, Ye Qing drew his knife and wanted to retreat, but the aquatic plants in the river swarmed up, tightly wrapped the long knife, and then extended it up, wrapped around his arm at a very fast speed, and suddenly ripped it into the water.
A huge force struck, Ye Qing's body shook, but then he stood firm, and then no matter how the aquatic plants tore hard, Ye Qing stood still, like a big mountain.
"Do you like it?"
The corners of Ye Qing's mouth smirked, and then the blood surging all over his body, his muscles and bones sounded together, and his left hand grabbed the aquatic plants wrapped around his arm, and pulled them suddenly.
Immediately afterward, a large clump of aquatic plants was pulled out.
The aquatic plants dance wildly, like green water snakes, and they look very terrifying. But if you look closely, you will find that all aquatic plants have a common root, and the roots are coiled in the center of the aquatic grass, like a human face, indifferent and cruel contempt for all living beings.
This is the origin of the name of the human face grass, and it is also the biggest weakness of the human face grass, if you can't cut off its roots, even if you cut off more water plants, it will not help.
After being pulled ashore, the roots of the human face grass were undoubtedly completely exposed in front of Ye Qing's eyes.
But the human face grass also seemed to feel the danger, and the water grass in the sky seemed to be crazy, winding around Ye Qing, and instantly wrapped him tightly and pulled him towards the human face at the roots.
And the human face also slowly squirmed, opening its huge mouth, revealing dense teeth.
"Goo......
Just when Ye Qing was pulled less than three feet in front of the giant mouth, a toad sound came from the aquatic plants wrapped in a ball, and the aquatic plants that were wrapped in Ye Qing first drummed, then shrunk, and then exploded, revealing Ye Qing's figure.
As soon as Ye Qingfu appeared, a toad roared from his chest and abdomen again, and the long knife in his hand slashed at the root of the face of the person who was close at hand.
Before the long knife fell, a tiger roar resounded, full of ferocity and ruthlessness.
The light of the knife was as poignant as frost, as fast as a ghost, and before the aquatic plants could react, the knife slashed through the human face formed by the roots.
Immediately afterwards, the roots of the human face that turned into a huge mouth split into two from the middle, and the aquatic plants waving in the sky also strangely stopped.
"Boom ......"
In the next moment, the roots of the human face shattered and turned into detritus in the sky, and those aquatic plants withered after the roots of the human face were completely annihilated.
All aquatic plants depend on the human face roots to live, providing vitality, and after the human face roots die, the aquatic plants naturally cannot survive.
"Fishing Toad Jin with Five Tiger Broken Door Knife, it's really powerful!" Ye Qing looked at the grass debris on the human face all over the ground, and his face showed a touch of joy.
The knife just now, the knife method is the Five Tiger Broken Door Knife, but it contains the strength of the toad, under the knife, not only the hard human face root is divided into two, and the knife contains the strength of the toad into the human face root, and finally the root can not withstand the power of the toad, before it was shattered.
The power of toad fishing can be seen.
Moreover, his Toad Fishing Jin has just started, and with the increase of True Qi in his body, the power of Toad Fishing will be further improved.
As for "Five Tigers Broken Door Knife", he took the time to learn it yesterday, the knife technique is not complicated, and he pays attention to a fierce and ruthless one, other than that, don't mention it!
"I can kill the Human Face Grass, so I'm no worse than other Condensation Realm martial artists!"
The human face grass belongs to the blood-level monster, which is equivalent to the martial artist condensation realm, although it is the weakest kind, but he can easily kill the human face grass, which means that the average condensation realm martial artist is no longer his opponent.
"Hey, it's only been one night of cultivation, and it has such an effect, it's only a matter of time before you catch up with Chen Zheng!"
"Ding Ding ......"
At this time, Ye Qing heard a bell sound, followed the sound, and saw the previous bellflower and lantern grass hiding in the woods on the side, probing his brain to peep out, when he saw Ye Qing, the two strange monsters seemed to be frightened, and quickly fled into the woods.
"Am I so scary?" Ye Qing touched his nose, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and a touch of shock appeared on his face: "No!"
Looking at the escaped bellflower and lantern plant, a possibility suddenly appeared in Ye Qing's heart, that is, there may be a relationship between the bellflower, the lantern plant and the human face grass.
To be precise, it is the bellflower and lantern plant that deliberately play tricks on others, so that people have to go to the river to wash, and the human face grass takes the opportunity to lurk at the bottom of the river and attack the person who washes.
The Human-Face Grass can grow in strength and evolve by devouring flesh creatures, while the bellflower and lantern plant can seek refuge.
After all, weak treacherous monsters like bellflowers and lantern plants have a hard time surviving on their own, and must seek refuge from powerful treacherous ones.
The more you think about it, the more likely it is, and it's very likely.
I used to hear Fang Nianshui say that there are some intelligent monsters in this world, no different from people, who know how to think, know the gains and losses, know the pros and cons, and even some intelligent monsters will transform into human forms, sneak into human cities, and live with human beings.
He was skeptical before, but now he has to believe it.
"You have to be careful in the future, if you hadn't stepped into the condensation realm yesterday and learned to fish for toads, today would definitely be more than lucky!"
Ye Qing was full of vigilance in his heart, and then he took a sip and said with a wry smile: "Damn, I was almost tricked by a few grasses, it's too embarrassing!"
After resting for a while, Ye Qing continued to patrol according to the established route, and in the next few hours, he was safe and sound, and did not encounter any dangers and monsters, which made Ye Qing, who was bent on killing monsters to obtain dragon and snake runes, quite disappointed.
"Bang ......"
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Ye Qing was about to go back, but at this moment, a red firework suddenly exploded in the air.
"Something happened to the Messenger?" "Someone released the Messenger, which means that they are in great danger and need help.
Ye Qing did not delay, and hurriedly ran in the direction of the release signal.
