Volume 2 Shuangshi Hui Wu Ripple Sheng, Chapter 74 Walking alone, neglecting to be ambushed
Somewhere a small crack opened in the void, and with a flash of light, a figure staggered out of it. When I looked up at my surroundings, I saw an endless stretch of waist-deep grass.
The familiar sunlight is the same as the outside world, and the sun still hangs in the sky, so I think the night will be the same as the outside world.
After carefully investigating the surrounding situation, Xu Chenglin was slightly relieved. Qing Shang Zhenren's voice was still in his ears, and he understood what was going on after a little thought.
"The five of us were plotted by someone to keep us from being able to teleport together. Listening to the meaning of Qingshang Zhenren, this should be related to the Blue Jade Sect. That's right, it's no secret that we killed the disciples of the Blue Jade Sect now, and it's reasonable for people to retaliate. The current plan should be to try to meet with everyone first, and then plan to kill the Blue Jade Sect. ”
Although he thought through in his heart, Xu Chenglin still felt extremely aggrieved. Among the five people, why is he unlucky? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a fire in his heart.
"The bastard of the Blue Jade Sect! One day, I will personally collect this account!"
scolded a few times, and the depression in Xu Chenglin's heart was slightly reduced. Since he didn't expect to be separated from the crowd in advance, he didn't have the sect's summoning fireworks on him.
A strategic mistake prevented him from acting with the team for the time being. In fact, it's no wonder that he rarely acts with other people, Xu Chenglin has no idea of relying on the group at all.
This long period of collective action has given him some collective consciousness. After being separated from everyone, the first time I thought of finding a way to meet, this is already commendable.
"If no one offends me, I will not offend anyone. Since you have completely torn your face with the Blue Jade Sect, then you are welcome!"
Thinking of what Qingshang Zhenren confessed, Xu Chenglin also made up his mind in secret.
After discerning the direction, Xu Chenglin chose to move towards the rich green in the distance. According to his experience of going out, that green was nothing else, it was a forest.
If there was anything strange in the secret realm, it would be in the forest, not in the unobstructed grass.
In an unfamiliar environment, Cheng Xulin did not dare to rush forward at full speed, he carefully and gradually explored forward. It was this cautious attitude that gave him some unexpected gains under the fluffy grass.
I don't know how many years of fluffy grass has grown, and it is covered with thick dead branches and leaves. The so-called extremes of things must be reversed, and there is also life in the dead and silent dead branches and leaves, but these vitality are all in a sealed state, waiting for the moment of thin hair. As the fluffy grass was removed, more than a dozen strange plants below were discovered by Xu Chenglin.
The plants were only an inch tall and had a single delicate green stem that supported a pale blue fruit the size of a fingernail. Seeing these strange plants hidden under the fluffy grass, Xu Chenglin was overjoyed, and the word Yuling grass appeared in his mind.
This thing is recorded in the information of the Zongmen Wendao Hall, the stem is a rare healing elixir, and the light blue fruit on the top contains infinite vitality, which can be used to heal injuries and replenish spiritual power instantly.
Most of the various supernatural powers of cultivators need the support of spiritual power. Therefore, for cultivators, things that can instantly replenish spiritual power are particularly valuable.
Where there is a treasure, there must be something to guard, Xu Chenglin did not rashly touch these dozen spirit cultivation grasses. He took out his long sword and carefully swung it around, and a scent of bloody fragrance instantly rushed into his nose.
Knowing that the smell was wrong, Xu Chenglin hurriedly held his breath. With the appearance of a strange aroma, a two-foot-long cyan centipede poked out from the dead branches.
Before the cyan centipede could react, Xu Chenglin had already swung two swords in a row to cut the centipede into three sections. Gray-brown blood flowed from the centipede's body, and the broken body writhed a few times before it froze.
The fishy smell instantly spread, and Xu Chenglin held his breath and flicked the centipede's corpse with his sword. An oval-shaped, turquoise bead rolled out of the centipede's corpse. As soon as the beads appeared, the fishy smell disappeared in an instant, leaving only a faint fragrance.
"I didn't expect it to be this thing!"
Wherever poison is infested, there must be an antidote within five steps. The Remover Bead is a strange thing that grows in the body of a demon beast and has the effect of removing all kinds of poisons and cleaning up filth.
This kind of thing is even rarer than some heavenly treasures, and not every demon beast will have it in its body. Among the 100,000 demon beasts, it is rare to have a demon beast with a defilement bead in its body, which can be seen from the rarity of this thing.
"I was so lucky that I didn't get two good things without going far. ”
Carefully put away the defilement beads, and after looking at the more than ten good spirit cultivation grasses, Xu Chenglin showed a satisfied smile.
After the gathering of the spirit grass, he did not leave in a hurry, but continued to search around. Two hours later, a vacant lot had been cleared by him within a radius of a few dozen zhang, but the Spirit Cultivation Grass had not been planted again.
"It seems that I am still greedy, this kind of thing is hard to find, how can I find it everywhere. ”
With a self-deprecating smile, Xu Chenglin gave up and continued to search. He glanced up into the distance and continued toward the forest.
After walking for about four hours, Xu Chenglin made another discovery. In the released divine sense, Xu Chenglin saw that the fluffy grass in front of him had traces of being trampled. There is only one possibility that this situation will occur, and that is that someone has been here before him.
Whether it was friend or foe ahead was still unknown, Xu Chenglin's spirit tensed up suddenly. As the walk continued, what Xu Chenglin saw was no longer a trace of a trampling, but a road that had been artificially cleared.
Looking at the traces that were not evasive, Xu Chenglin already had a rough guess about the people who had passed by here before. Those who arrived before were either proud of their own strength or had strong nerves. But as long as you think about it a little, you know that the probability of the former is greater. Because these traces don't look like they were done by one person at all, but more like a group of people.
The appearance of these traces successfully distracted Xu Chenglin's attention, so much so that he stepped into the formation without even noticing. In his divine sense, Xu Chenglin noticed that four monks were rapidly approaching him in the distance. This made him slightly startled, and he felt that something was wrong. Suddenly, he felt as if something he had overlooked.
When he sensed that something was wrong, a ten-zhang array was already lit up under his feet, enveloping him. A white mist quickly rose in the formation, and Xu Chenglin's sense of direction in it disappeared instantly, and what caught his eyes was even more so thick that he couldn't dissolve the white mist.
"Damn, this is a trap laid by taking advantage of people's psychology! Arrange the formation in advance, both for early warning and to trap the enemy. Then use the environment to attract people's attention, make people ignore the existence of the formation, and touch the formation to fall into it. Then the people on their own side took the opportunity to go out and kill the enemy by surprise. What a good calculation, a good strategy!"
The moment he fell into the formation, Xu Chenglin thought everything clearly in hindsight.
"I was careless, I didn't see through the trap in advance. ”
Muttering to himself, Xu Chenglin touched the Tongtian Spirit Gourd on his waist, and two pieces of spiritual light flashed in his hand instantly.
didn't know what kind of formation he was in, he Xu Chenglin didn't dare to rush forward or attack the formation. Without hesitation, he activated a talisman, and a thick ball of golden light burst out.
The golden light turned into a shield, firmly enveloping Xu Chenglin. The existence of this armor talisman made Xu Chenglin have no scruples and began to attack the formation.
It is stupid to hide clumsily at a critical moment, and Xu Chenglin's action is the strongest. The Heavenly Spirit Gourd on his waist flashed into his left hand, and the golden light flashed in his right hand, and the lotus flying blade fell into his hand. With a wave of the flying blade in his hand, nine lotus flying blades flew out, shooting in unison into the void in front of him.
The thick white fog in front shook violently, and the fog dissipated in a moment, and the scene became clear, but in an instant, the fog backfilled again, covering the scene in front of it. Other than that, there was no reaction from the formation. The flying blade seemed to hit something, and the nine bounced back together, hovering around Xu Chenglin's body.
"It seems that this is just a formation that focuses on trapping the enemy, and Xin Qi is not a formation for the main killing. ”
With a slight relaxation in his heart, he commanded the flying blade to attack again, and Xu Chenglin observed the situation in the formation.
Compared to the beginning, after Xu Chenglin attacked once, the surrounding fog seemed to have become much lighter. It may not take a few strokes for the flying blade to break through this formation in its entirety.
Putting away the Tongtian Spirit Gourd, Xu Chenglin manipulated the nine flying blades with all his might. It was worthy of being a top-level magic weapon, but after only four or five attacks, the formation was shattered in a burst of cracking sounds.
The surrounding scenery returned to its original state, and Xu Chenglin left the place and hid in the surrounding fluffy grass with a dodge. In his outer sense, he had already seen four monks approaching.
The golden light on his body was taken back by him and turned into a talisman and fell into his hand. Another talisman in his hand was activated, and after a burst of spiritual light fluctuations, Xu Chenglin's figure slowly disappeared, and even the traces of his departure disappeared without a trace.
However, at tea time, the four figures came to the place where the formation was. Looking at the formation that had been broken, the four of them all had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
"It's impossible, it's just that in less than half an hour, I broke the formation and fled. The previous group of four people failed to break the formation so quickly. Instead, we were caught off guard and killed two of them. How many people does it take for this team to do this?"
The square-faced man looked surprised, and his tone was full of disbelief.
"The other party is not necessarily a lot of people, it may just know a little bit of formation knowledge. This is just a simple trapped formation, and people with a little common sense of the formation can easily break it, so don't be so surprised. ”
Although the monk wearing the hat was also surprised, he still analyzed it calmly.
"Senior Brother Wang, are you doubting Senior Brother Zhao's formation attainments?"
A short and fat friar had a slight smug look on his face, as if he was proud that he had slapped himself on the back and hit others.
The Monk was about to speak, but a white-robed monk with a gloomy face interrupted.
"Okay, I know that Senior Brother Wang didn't mean that. I know the formation I laid out, and there really is nothing to praise it. It's just that he broke out of the formation in a short time, and the other party is also quite capable. ”
"Senior Brother Zhao, what should we do now?"
Monk Dou Li's heart was slightly relieved after listening to Senior Brother Zhao's words, but he still didn't dare to ask about the next arrangements.
"We have been ordered to keep the people out of the Scarlet Plains and cover the others for the Bloodcrystal. Now that the man has been frightened away, I guess we won't be able to catch up. For the sake of today's plan, first repair the damaged formation, and then find another place to continue to arrange the formation to obstruct others. The blood crystal that I first discovered in the Aoki Gate cannot be coveted by others. ”
Senior Brother Zhao's voice was a little cold, obviously this person had already planned to kill the people who blocked him one by one.
