Chapter 107: Preparations for War (I)
Ling Hao and Zhang Jianjun rested in the cave for a day and a night.
During this period, Ling Hao not only gave Zhang Jianjun the perfect quality Dong Lisan, but also used the medicinal materials he had prepared in advance to refine some Shengyuan Spiritual Liquid.
Zhang Jianjun's cultivation had already been promoted to the consummation of the Innate Realm, and at this moment, with the Ascension Yuan Spiritual Liquid and the perfect quality of Dong Lisan, coupled with Ling Hao's assistance, the bottleneck of the Xuanyuan Realm was easily broken through.
After successfully improving Zhang Jianjun's cultivation, Ling Hao saw that the sky outside had begun to darken, so he beckoned Zhang Jianjun to leave the cave together and march towards the north of Xuexia Mountain.
The people of the Blood Snake Village would not be active in the Blood Xia Mountain at night, so Ling Hao and Zhang Jianjun were very fast in the mountains and forests, and they were not worried about being discovered.
The more he walked towards the north of Xuexia Mountain, the denser the surrounding trees became, but for some reason, Zhang Jianjun felt a strong sense of oppression enveloping his heart, which was very uncomfortable.
"Further on, we will enter the range of the roots of the Bloodskin Demon Tree. ”
Ling Hao said, put a packet of medicinal powder into Zhang Jianjun's hand, and said, "Eat this thing." After eating, your body will be very weak, but the Bloodskin Demon Tree will not attack you. ”
Zhang Jianjun nodded, raised his head and ate the extremely bitter medicinal powder. Sure enough, after taking the medicinal powder, Zhang Jianjun immediately felt that the whole person was soft, and it was difficult to even stand.
"You don't eat?" Zhang Jianjun asked.
"I've got to do some setup. Ling Hao said, "Brother-in-law, after entering the shroud range of the Bloodskin Demon Tree later, you only need to do one thing, which is to get as close as possible to the Bloodskin Demon Tree, carefully count the branches on its main trunk, and calculate its breathing rate. ”
Although Zhang Jianjun was surprised that the tree could still breathe such a ridiculous thing, since Ling Hao said it, he must have a reason.
After that, Ling Hao helped Zhang Jianjun through a dense forest.
After walking out of the woods, Rao is Zhang Jianjun was already mentally prepared, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he still gasped.
Behind the trees, as far as the eye could see, there was not a single grass except for a giant tree that grew on a hillside far away.
The giant tree was not too tall, only about three meters, but it was very thick, and the canopy was so large that it almost covered an area of forty or fifty meters.
It's not like a tree, it's a bit like a large mushroom.
Even at night, Ling Hao and Zhang Jianjun could see dense corpses hanging on the huge canopy. When the mountain wind blew, those corpses kept shaking with the wind, and they were also shadowed in the night, looking very terrible.
Arm-thick vines fell and danced, bringing out a whooshing sound like a long whip sweeping through the air, and then slammed into the corpses that hung from the canopy, and writhed into the corpses, as if trying to suck out all their flesh.
Not only were the canopies of trees covered with corpses, but in this barren place, corpses that had been sucked up were scattered everywhere. There was an extremely obvious look of pain on the dry faces of those corpses, and one can imagine what kind of torture they suffered before they died.
Zhang Jianjun smelled the heavy smell of blood, and looked at the surrounding scene, he was about to vomit.
If Ling Hao hadn't told him and he had seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't want to believe that there was such a ferocious creature growing in the area where he lived!
And the Blood Snake Village is constantly using living people to feed it!
It's a loss of conscience!
"Where there is no grass or trees, this is the area covered by the roots of the Bloodskin Demon Tree. Ling Hao said, "Brother-in-law, as long as we step in, the roots of the Bloody Skin Demon Tree will be sensitive. You have taken the medicinal powder, as long as you don't take the initiative to touch the roots and vines of the Bloodskin Demon Tree, you will not be harmed. ”
"What about you, Xiaohao?" Zhang Jianjun said, "You didn't take the medicinal powder, wouldn't it attack you?"
Ling Hao smiled faintly, his tone full of confidence: "Don't worry." ”
After speaking, Ling Hao stepped into the area where there was no grass and slowly walked towards the location of the Bloodskin Demon Tree.
As soon as his feet were raised, two sharp tendrils that shimmered with cold light and like metal poked out fiercely, as if they could pierce through the golden stone.
If you hide a little later, you will probably be pierced in the foot.
The canopy of the trees in the distance trembled, and then three vines snaked in this direction, like three living poisonous snakes, and began to attack Ling Hao.
The long vine brought out a spear like a spear breaking through the air, and its strength and speed were very amazing, as if the three Xuanyuan Realm cultivators were constantly attacking.
Ling Hao's feet were constantly moving, always lifting up the moment before the roots of the Bloodskin Demon Tree poked out of the ground. And those three vines, every time he was about to hit Ling Hao, he dodged them lightly.
At such a tense moment, Ling Hao's hands were constantly carving out runes one after another, and smashing them into the ground around him.
His every movement seemed to have been calculated, whether it was moving forward or dodging, he behaved extremely naturally and calmly. Although the three vines and the tendrils that kept burrowing from the ground kept piercing and pumping him, they didn't even touch him after so long.
Seeing that Zhang Jianjun was looking at him, Ling Hao actually had time to wave to Zhang Jianjun and said loudly: "Brother-in-law, hurry up!"
Zhang Jianjun then remembered that he still had something to do, so he also raised his feet and stepped into the area where the roots of the Bloody Skin Demon Tree were shrouded.
As soon as he stepped in, Zhang Jianjun found that several sharp roots drilled out around his right foot at the same time, and the distance shook again, and three tree vines swept from a distance, and slammed on the ground in front of Zhang Jianjun, collapsing a large piece of soil slag with a bloody smell, and making Zhang Jianjun's face confused.
Zhang Jianjun's eyes widened.
He knew very well that even if his cultivation had reached the Xuanyuan realm, if he was attacked by that long vine, it would be the lightest end up being a broken tendon.
Thinking of the task that Ling Hao had given him earlier, Zhang Jianjun took a deep breath, and then carefully dodged those roots and long vines, and cautiously approached the place where the Bloodskin Demon Tree was.
The closer he got to the Bloodskin Demon Tree, the more roots and vines appeared around, and when Zhang Jianjun carefully moved towards the Bloodskin Demon Tree, he glanced at Ling Hao's location, and found that Ling Hao had been surrounded by dense long vines, and couldn't help but sweat for him.
After approaching the Bloodskin Demon Tree and getting the information Ling Hao wanted, Zhang Jianjun turned around and left. In the place where the Bloody Skin Demon Tree was located, the smell of corpses was so strong that Zhang Jianjun almost vomited his stomach, and he even saw many pregnant women with their bellies cut open in those corpses, as well as babies who had just been born but were already in pieces......
His face turned pale and retreated beyond the range covered by the roots of the Blood Skin Demon Tree, and Ling Hao also happened to jump out, and after the two of them gasped evenly, Zhang Jianjun, whose face was pale, kept chanting the six words "Blood Snake Village is not a person".
"We're halfway through the pre-war preparations, and we're going back to the cave. ”
Ling Hao looked up at the sky: "Calculate the time, in another day, there will be a heavy rain." ”
"When the time comes, we will cut down this demon tree, and then destroy the Blood Snake Village!"
Zhang Jianjun nodded heavily.
