Ye Xing only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he entered a dark spatial passage. After a few moments, his eyes brightened, and his feet stepped on the ground. Ahead, the team of the Azure Academy also stopped in place, looking at the unfamiliar environment around them, but they didn't see anyone from the Star Lord's Mansion.

It was a wooded jungle with dark green trees as tall as the sky, and dark snake-like vines entwined around their trunks. There was silence in the forest, and from time to time a few bird's chirpings could be heard from the depths, and a faint wind stream passed through the branches and leaves of the ancient trees, making a thin sound.

Ye Xing looked behind him, and a one-shaped star gate hung in the air. Fortunately, it was still there, Ye Xingzhen was worried that the strange star gate would suddenly disappear.

The teams of the four families also walked out of the stargate vortex, and they all looked at their surroundings in amazement.

Gu Qian walked over and said to the four team leaders: "The Star Lord's Mansion has already gone ahead, let's also choose a direction to explore on our own, so as not to have conflicts." The four team leaders nodded, agreed to Gu Qian's suggestion, and prepared to lead their teams to explore.

A picturesque girl walked out of the Su family's team and saluted Gu Qian, "Teacher." "It's Su Lingyu.

Gu Qian looked at the girl in front of him and said scoldingly: "You girl, why can't you be idle just after you come back, and run around." But there was a happy smile on his face.

Su Lingyu said obediently: "Isn't this that I miss the teacher and my classmates in the academy, and I want to come in and have a look." ”

Gu Qian's kind face was full of love, and he turned to say in an unkind tone: "Su Hongdao, that guy, is willing to let you come with you." This secret realm has not been explored yet, so I don't know what danger it holds. ”

Su Lingyu clenched his fist and waved it a few times, and said coquettishly: "Teacher, I am your outstanding disciple, and I already have the strength to protect myself." Even if there is danger, you will protect me. ”

"Su girl, I can protect you, old man. Old man Hong walked over and smiled at Su Lingyu: "Old man Gu Qian wants to protect that group of little ghosts, but he doesn't have time to protect you." Why don't you go all the way with the old man?"

"Elder Hong!" Su Lingyu shouted in a brisk and joyful tone. Hearing Old Man Hong's words, Su Lingyu glanced at him with some hesitation, and then looked at Gu Qian.

Gu Qian glanced at the direction in which the City Lord's Mansion was leaving, frowned, and then laughed, "Since Old Man Hong asks for this, Lingyu you can follow him." If you lack any star weapons, let him refine them for you. ”

Old man Hong immediately nodded, and said with a smile: "Yes, Su girl, the star scepter you used was two years ago, and I will refine a new one for you to ensure that it looks good and is easy to use." ”

Seeing Gu Qian say this, Su Lingyu smiled tactfully, "Then thank you Elder Hong." Then he walked to Old Man Hong's side.

"Alright, Lingyu will follow you, and you will come here in three days to gather. Gu Qian walked in the direction of the academy team.

Old man Hong shouted: "If you have something, contact me directly with the compass." ”

"Got it. Gu Qian waved his hand and walked towards the east with the academy team.

"Su girl, let's go too. Old man Hong pointed to Ye Xing behind him, "Ye Xing, do you know?" I heard that you helped heal his injuries before. ”

"Speaking of which, he can be regarded as my junior. Su Lingyu looked at Ye Xingdao with a smile on his face.

Ye Xing carried the wooden box on his back and said to Su Lingyu with a smile: "I still have to thank Senior Sister for helping me heal my injuries, otherwise I may not be able to catch up with this expedition." ”

"Okay, I'll talk about flirting later. Time is pressing, so let's go first. Old man Hong walked towards the southeast, and Ye Xing rolled his eyes behind his back and followed. Su Lingyu was a little blushing by Old Man Hong's words, and immediately returned to normal and followed quickly.

The figures in front of the stargate dispersed, and the emptiness and silence were restored. A moment later, a black figure appeared in front of the Star Gate, glanced around, walked in the direction that the Azure Academy had left, and disappeared into the jungle.

"Hey, how are you doing?" Su Lingyu and Ye Xing walked side by side and said in a low voice.

"Are you concerned about me?" Ye Xing said in surprise.

Su Lingyu was stunned for a moment, and said with some annoyance: "I'm worried that my words that day will hit you too hard. ”

Ye Xing shook his head and laughed at himself: "This has nothing to do with you, you just told me the truth." It was my own bad luck that I didn't have a chance with the path of star cultivation. ”

Su Lingyu saw that his tone was a little lost, and comforted: "It doesn't matter if you don't become a star cultivator, you can also achieve something with Master Hong." ”

"Maybe. The topic was disconnected, and the two fell silent, speeding up their steps to keep up with Old Man Hong.

"Huh!" Old Man Hong stopped, looked ahead, and let out a startled sigh.

Ye Xing and Su Lingyu followed his gaze and found that next to a rock, there was a tall and pale cyan straight tree, which had no branches and leaves, but four pale cyan flowers grew.

"Azure Wood! Azure Flower!" Ye Xing exclaimed.

Su Lingyu looked stunned. Azure flower she knows, it is a flower that helps cultivate perception. She rarely heard of Azure Wood. When she saw the tree, she realized that the azure flowers grew on the azure tree.

"What is Azure Wood used for?" asked Su Lingyu.

"It can be used to make a star scepter, it is very tough, and the star power is very conductive. Ye Xing explained. Arzureli grows on azure wood, but the price is far less than that of azure wood. The price of an azure flower is about 3,000 star coins, a foot of azure wood is worth 10,000 star coins, and a foot of the root part is even more expensive than 50,000 star coins.

Old man Hong smiled and said: "Azure wood still has a certain amplification effect on the star power of the wood attribute, Su girl, your star power is the wood attribute, right?"

Su Lingyu nodded, looking at the pale blue azure wood like ink in surprise, and was a little eager to try. "How are you going to pick this green wood?"

Ye Xing shook his head and stretched out his hand to point to the azure tree.

Su Lingyu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Tian Qingmu with some confusion, as if he couldn't see anything wrong. She gently emanated her senses, observed them, and was startled. There are some faintly protruding parts in the middle of the straight azure wood, which appear to be inconsistent in thickness. Under the observation of perception, Su Lingyu clearly saw that the protruding part was slowly squirming, and with this movement, its body was revealed. It was a snake of the same color as the azure wood, less than two fingers thick, wrapped around the azure wood, and there were almost no traces to be seen.

Ye Xing remembered the introduction he had seen in a book called "Collection of Refining Materials" by Old Man Hong in the past, and read it out: "Azure flowers, azure wood, and azure snakes are born and colored together, and snakes feed on flowers and live on wood." Flower strong perception, wood refining star machine, snake poison. ”

"What now, do you want to knock it down?" Su Lingyu's hand surged with starlight, staring at the azure snake that fused with the azure wood.

Ye Xing's eyelids jumped, how could this seemingly delicate girl be so violent.

Old man Hong watched with a smile, wanting to see how the two were going to act.

"The Azure Snake is extremely fast, and it may disappear as soon as you make a move. If it hides and sneaks up on us, it will be troublesome. Ye Xing's words dispelled Su Lingyu's idea of making a move, and she wrinkled her nose and said, "Then what should I do?"

Ye Xing didn't speak, he looked at the surrounding environment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed to a tree and said, "Shoot that bird down, don't kill it." ”

Su Lingyu followed his point, and a small gray bird the size of a fist was parked on the branch of an ancient tree, blinking at the three outsiders with smart eyes. Su Lingyu nodded, and his fingertips released a ball of blue light the size of a bead, and the blue light bead ejected out, flying towards the gray bird extremely quickly.

Before the innocent bird could react, it was hit by a blue light bead, and a thin layer of blue light wrapped it and fell down the ancient tree.

Ye Xing walked over quickly, picked up the blue light bead wrapped in the bird, and there was a soft warmth in his hand, Ye Xing couldn't help but think of the scene where a palm released blue light and poured into his mind. He walked back to Su Lingyu with the blue light ball in his hand, and said with a smile: "I'll throw this out later, and you can take action according to the situation." ”

Su Lingyu nodded suspiciously, not quite understanding how he was going to use this to kill the Azure Snake.

Ye Xing held the blue light ball in his hand and threw it vigorously in the direction of the azure wood. When the ball of light approached, I saw a flash of blue light, and the azure snake wrapped around the azure wood rushed towards the ball of light, opened a mouth the size of a palm, and swallowed the ball of light in one gulp.

As soon as the Azure Snake swallowed the ball of light, it was about to return to the Azure Tree, but its speed plummeted. The ball of light in its body shattered directly, and a flexible force filled its body, and the Azure Snake's body sank and fell down.

Su Lingyu knew that the time had come. Her hands glowed with blue light, drawing a lone line in the air, and two cyan crescent moons flashed, making a sound of breaking the sky, and flew towards the falling azure snake at great speed.

Blood splashed, and the azure snake was cut into three sections by two blue moons. The bright red blood immediately turned blue when exposed to the air, and it made a "snort" sound when it fell on the soil, which actually corroded the soil into blue and black, and black smoke rose.

Ye Xing smacked his tongue at Su Lingyu's shot and said, "It's so strong." He even suspected that the Azure Snake in its normal state might not be able to avoid these two crescents.

There was a burst of applause, and Old Man Hong clapped his palms and smiled and exclaimed: "Su girl's star power has grown again, you are already a ninth-level star soldier, right?" Ye Xing looked at Su Lingyu in surprise, he didn't expect that she who was about the same age as herself was about to reach the peak of star soldiers, which also surpassed most of the third year students in the academy.

Su Lingyu chuckled: "Well, I just broke through a few days ago. She turned to ask Ye Xing curiously, "How did you know that it would swallow that Qingguang Regiment?"

"The Azure Snake has a strong thirst for wood attribute star power, and I see that your star power happens to be a wood attribute, so I guess it can't help but want to devour it. The process went quite smoothly. Ye Xing was about to walk over, but saw Old Man Hong suddenly make a move, and a flash of fire flew out, burning the blood stains of the remnants of the Azure Snake on the ground.

Ye Xing paused, his face a little embarrassed.

Old man Hong glared at him, "Do things in a hurry, if there is a gust of wind, the residual snake venom can directly make you die." With that, he walked to the azure wood. Ye Xing hurriedly followed. Seeing the scene of Old Man Hong reprimanding Ye Xing, Su Lingyu felt very interesting.

The three of them approached and looked at the tall Azure Tree. The whole body is verdant and clear, clear and clear, and the eyes can penetrate the wood. Su Lingyu couldn't help but rejoice as he imagined the appearance of Azure Wood made into a star scepter.

Ye Xing put down the wooden box behind him, opened the lid of the box, took out a shovel from it, and quickly dug up the soil near the azure wood root. Soon, after digging out two feet of earth, I finally saw the base of the azure wood. The bottom two feet were already a very dark green color.

Ye Xing put down the entire azure tree, and then took out a knife from the wooden box. The blade is as white as silver, as thin as iceflakes, and the cold light is dazzling. Ye Xing held the knife in both hands, stood with a horse, and measured the size with his eyes.

After determining the position of the knife, Ye Xing's eyes froze, staring at the boundary between dark cyan and light cyan. He squatted down with his legs slightly, sank his weight, clenched the hilt of the knife with both hands, and took a deep breath. Like a tiger pounced, Ye Xing kicked the ground with both feet, his body bounced up, raised the knife with both hands, and slashed down with a sinking momentum. "Click" sounded softly, and the azure wood broke in response, and the section was as smooth as a mirror.

Ye Xing exhaled, picked up the dark blue part that was more than two feet long, and raised it to Su Lingyu: "Your star scepter material is available." ”

Su Lingyu looked at him a little panting, and couldn't help but say, "It's easier for me to use star power to cut." ”

Ye Xing remembered the scene where the two blue moons cut the Azure Snake just now, his expression froze, and he said speechlessly: "If you didn't say it earlier, you almost forgot that there is a star power master like you." ”

"You didn't call me. Su Lingyu covered his mouth and smiled, pointed to the remaining ten feet of pale cyan azure wood and said, "Cut it into five sections, right?"

"Mm-hmm, be careful not to cut into the azure flowers. Ye Xing reminded.

Su Lingyu gave him a blank look, walked to the side of the ten-foot Azure Tree, stretched out his palm surging with blue light, and released four small blue moons, which accurately hit the two-foot node of the Azure Tree. There was a crisp sound, but the expected break did not appear, and only four and a half finger-deep incisions appeared on the azure wood.

Su Lingyu was stunned for a moment, how could it be? Why didn't he cut it off.

Seeing this, Ye Xing immediately laughed. Seeing Su Lingyu's unkind eyes, he put away his smile and said that he didn't know what the situation was.

Only then did the old man Hong on the side speak: "Azure wood has a good ability to absorb the spiritual power of the wood attribute. Su girl, the power you controlled by Qingyue just now could have just cut off the wooden body, but Azure Wood absorbed part of Qingyue's star power, so the strength was not enough. ”

Su Lingyu nodded abruptly. She immediately released four green moons with stronger star power again, hitting the two-foot node again, and this time the azure wood really broke off in response. Qingyue slashed through the azure wood and cut deep into the ground, leaving a deep and narrow cut.

Su Lingyu glanced at Ye Xing as if demonstrating. Ye Xing couldn't help but sigh: "Star power is really easy to use." He went over and picked up the azure wood that had been broken into five knots, and put it into the wooden box along with a piece of dark blue, then put away the knife and shovel, and put it back on his back.

Seeing that the two of them were busy with their work, Old Man Hong took out a silver compass from his arms, injected star power and handed it to Ye Xing, and said, "I don't know what you will encounter if you go deeper, you take the astrological compass and be wary of the nearby targets with star power." ”

Ye Xing took the astrological compass, nodded, and probed his perception into it, and couldn't help but be stunned. He found that the star map in his brain had shrunk a lot, so he informed Old Man Hong.

Old Man Hong frowned, his perception also probed into it, and after a while, he said: "This jungle has some influence on the astrological compass, and it can only detect units with relatively strong star power within a range of 5 miles. ”

The range has narrowed down too much, but it should still be possible to detect the situation in advance.

"Just be vigilant, I'll go to the front, Ye Xing to the middle, and Su Yatou to pay attention to the back. Old man Hong admonished, and walked forward. Ye Xing followed, and the perception remained probed into the astrological compass. Su Lingyu also radiated his senses, probing the situation behind him.
