After leaving the Taru Giant Tree, Zhang Yu identified the direction and walked towards the lake, but when he arrived, the road below was not what he had walked before, and he needed to analyze and identify it by himself.

At this time, he held a verdant branch in his hand, about four feet long, with no forked branches and leaves, smooth and tough, and there was a mist of water outside.

This is a heart branch given to him by the Tharu Giant Tree, and if it is planted somewhere, as long as the conditions allow, then it will grow into a new Taru Giant Tree over time.

And in front of him, this branch has another wonderful use, with a light touch, he can know the situation farther away through the grass and trees, which can allow him to avoid many troubles without letting go of the happy lake.

On the way, he was thinking about some questions, why did the jade flute spirit happen to appear on his path when he arrived?

He had asked the Giant Tree of Taru when the other party had appeared, and the emotions that the latter had conveyed seven days before the moon had fallen, which happened to be the beginning of his step into the jungle.

Is this a bit too much of a coincidence?

For some reason, he always felt that it seemed to have something to do with the turbidity tide.

Judging from the definition of turbidity tide in Xuanfu, this is the influence of the great chaos, so is the semi-chaotic transformation of the jade flute spirit also because of the turbidity tide?

He shook his head, there was so much information missing.

In fact, if the Xuanfu is still at the top of the ritual system of the Metropolitan Protectorate, then in addition to fighting against the supernormal forces, it is responsible for figuring out the root cause of many abnormal things and trying to eliminate them, so that they can better deal with the crisis before it comes.

But now that the Protectorate is above all, the Xuanfu is caught in a confrontation with the Divine Captain Army, and he still doesn't care about it, how can he have the leisure to take care of this kind of thing?

This is also fortunate that there are only more than 3 million people in the capital, and the level of communication between the upper and lower levels is relatively small, and there is a big enemy outside, plus the governance framework brought from Tianxia, so it can still be supported, and mistakes can be corrected in time, if the number of people is more, the situation will be more complicated, and there will be more contradictions.

After having the heart branch, he was very fast on the way, and after only a day and a night, he came to the lake where he had seen the lake above the treetop the day before yesterday.

Ever since he stepped into the forest, there had been a layer of darkness above him, as if he had stepped into a deep cage, where everything was open to the sun.

Under the clear sky, the light and mist are thin, and the tranquil waters of the lake are crystal clear, from the lake to the lakeside, due to the difference in light and water, it is rich in color.

He walked to the edge of the lake, came to the edge of a rock in his memory, and patted it with his hand.

I remember that his teacher was here to easily kill an inner lake newt with the strength of ordinary people, and under this rock, you can also find small stickman marks.

At this time, he turned his head to look, and with a bang, a big salmon suddenly burst out of the water.

In his gaze, everything slowed down, the big fish first hit the surface of the water with its long snout, and then the whole slender body rushed out together, and when it was in mid-air, the strong tail swayed vigorously, and the whole body rippled with a vigorous rhythm, and after a moment of high jumping, the big fish plunged headlong into the water, and the water splashed for a while.

A gust of wind blew, causing the robe to shake.

He stretched out his hand to take off his hat, and quietly looked at the blue water of the lake, and the white birds flying on the lake, standing here, the heat and humidity brought by the jungle were swept away, and it was extremely refreshing.

After standing for a long time, he put on his hat again, carried the Xia sword, and left here.

And some time after he left, some creatures in the dense forest came out one after another to drink water by the lake.

Half a day later, he walked up to a huge stone statue with only a huge head, and it was placed on the ground, and the statue's features were very exaggerated, and its mouth was wide open, as if it was making a strong plea for a certain existence.

"This is it. ”

Zhang Yu stood here, thinking about the sentence on the dense scroll, "Su Pasha's head pointed me the way......

From here, he needs to intervene in the spiritual emotions of his master and accept his guidance.

He closed his eyes, and after a while, when he opened them again, he saw a native with a feather crown kneeling there, worshipping the stone statue, and then he stood up and walked into the depths of the forest with a feverish expression.

It's just that as he runs, his figure gradually turns from real to virtual, and finally disappears to nothing, from beginning to end, there is not a single sound, but the branches and leaves in front of him are shaking back and forth, as if someone has really passed there.

Zhang Yu glanced at it, thought for a moment, and walked towards the place where the natives had disappeared.

On the other side, Lin Chu and the others, who set off more than ten days earlier than him, had also gone deep into the hinterland of Anshan at this moment, but his footsteps were not much faster than him.

And the team of more than 20 people at the time of departure is now only nine people left.

They were in tattered clothes and looked a little embarrassed at the moment, and if it weren't for the spiritual outer layer that could repel filth and mud, it would be even more ugly than it is now.

Along the way, they encounter murderous spiritual creatures every day, and sometimes mad Tuvan demigods.

This was still in the case of an offensive posture by the three major armies, which led to many Tuvan and indigenous tribes being conscripted to go to the Honghe Pass, and the inland was slightly empty, so you can imagine how dangerous the inland hinterland east of Ansan is on weekdays.

However, what they hate most is actually all kinds of poisonous insects, the kind of ferocious flying insects that are half the size of a human are easy to deal with and can be killed with a single blow, but the parasites and bloodsuckers that are difficult to observe haunt them all the time.

The surface of the spirit is to consume their own spirituality, and it is impossible to use it all the time all day long, so they can only take turns to defend it.

And Lin Chu is no longer in high spirits when he set off, and he is finally willing to come down from the sky and walk honestly.

At this moment, the group of them were sitting in front of a depressing bonfire, lying or sitting, without saying a word, looking lifeless.

Lin Chu looked at the crowd: "Everyone, bear with me a little longer, go a little further ahead, and we can find out the route." ”

A Wu Changyan said dissatisfiedly: "Lin team rate, if it goes on like this, how many people will die?" He didn't care whether others would die or not, he only knew that if he continued like this, he would end up sooner or later.

Mo Team Rate is the most intact person here, she is wearing an iron armor, even if she doesn't use spiritual power, she can still protect herself, as for others, those who are in front of her will be saved, and those who are far away will die, she is too lazy to care.

But she can also see that if this continues, people's hearts will be scattered, and she will not be able to get out alone.

She clasped her hands and said, "Team Lin, let's talk about it." ”

Lin Chu said: "What did you say?"

Team Mo looked at him and said, "We've been walking here for more than 20 days, what are you looking for?"

Lin Chu's eyes flickered.

Team Mo said: "I think it's better for you to say it, and if you keep it hidden, few people are willing to go with you, you can't do anything, and it must be difficult to explain when you go back, right?"

Lin Chu looked around the bonfire, and saw that everyone was looking at him with gloomy eyes, and he couldn't help but jump in his heart, and then he laughed, pretending to be free and easy: "Don't be surprised by Team Mo, because it is a matter ordered by several military candidates, I also have to be cautious, but when I get here, there is nothing bad to say." ”

Team Mo said: "Okay, then you can say it." ”

Lin Chu coughed, made a serious attitude, and said, "This time we are not here to explore the way, but we are ordered to contact a god of the Ancient Kingdom of Blood Yang and make a deal with him. ”

Hearing that he made a deal with the Blood Sun God, all the Divine Captains present did not react, because they didn't think it was a big deal.

Team Mo snorted and said, "So we're just looking for this alien god?"

"Yes!"

Lin Chu explained again, "But don't worry, we have already walked the most difficult road, and they will send someone to meet us next." ”

He looked at the crowd, "We...... Actually, just wait here. ”

The previous Wu Commander was a little annoyed and said, "Then how long will it take?"

Lin Chu snorted and said, "It's almost fast." He was also very anxious in his heart, and said secretly: "It is said that he should come, why haven't he come, how can these foreign gods endure the temptation of the place of eternal rest?"

After thinking about it, he stood up and said, "I'll go around and look around ......"

At this time, Mo Teamrate suddenly stretched out his hand and said in a low voice: "Don't make a sound." ”

Lin Chu frowned, and everyone was also vigilant.

First they heard a dull sound, and then a moment later, the leaves of the trees in one place fluttered, the plants that stood in their way were trampled to pieces, and then rows of tall blood-feathered warriors armed with stone spears came out of the dense forest.

Team Mo immediately stood up, and at the same time, he copied both hands and took the two battle axes in his hands.

The other Divine Captains also stood up one after another and made defensive movements.

Lin Chu hurriedly said loudly: "Don't do it!"

The tall blood-feathered warriors came to a halt at a suitable distance after walking some way, and then two of them turned in the middle and took two steps back in a neat manner.

In the open space, an old priest on crutches with sarcoma on his back came out, he was very old, all the flesh on his face was attached to his cheeks, half of his face was covered with strips of cloth, and his body was wrapped with circles of rattans, but if you looked closely, you could see that the rattans seemed to be alive, slowly writhing.

Team Mo said in a deep voice: "Demon vine sacrifice." ”

Among the many sacrifices in the ancient kingdom of Blood Yang today, there are three sacrifices that are the most famous and extremely strong, the poisonous heart sacrifice to Moya Paga, the blood scorpion sacrifice to Jorazaka, and the demon vine sacrifice to Canasum.

Lin Chu was not afraid at all, he walked up directly and complained, "Finally waiting for you, what do I want?"

The Demon Vine Priest looked left and right, the strip of cloth on his head swayed slightly, and he said in Tianxia language, "What do we want?"

Lin Chu said dissatisfiedly: "We are all here, are you afraid that we will not give it to you?"

The Demon Vine Priest looked at him, beat his crutches, turned sideways, and gestured with his hand, "Come with me." ”
