Chapter 245: A Fork in the Ruins
The door to the reception room was pushed open, and Gu Xiaoman and Silva strode in.
"Grandpa, why don't you wait for me to start. ”
"Shut up!"
When Gu Xiaoman heard this, he immediately stopped his voice and sat beside Lin Xiuqi obediently.
Lin Xiuqi thought to himself, sure enough, one thing descends from one thing! The laws of nature are really amazing!
Gu Hongjian sorted out his thoughts and continued: "It's not a secret, the old man was contaminated by the breath of a certain plant in that fork in the road, so he was parasitized by poisonous insects. ”
Wu Xinhe added: "When the two of us entered that fork in the road together, it was as if we were in another space, and only a very faint forbidden aura existed. ”
"Not a spatial portal?"
"No, it's another space, but it's like a small space parasitic in the forbidden ruins. Before the two of us could go any further, we encountered a large area of plants that emitted fragrant mist, but I was temporarily overlooked, and I failed to expel these strange mist in time, so Ah Jian was poisoned, and the exploration trip was forced to end. ”
Gu Hongjian sighed lightly, signaling that Wu Xinhe didn't need to mention this matter again, he turned to Lin Xiuqi and said: "After detoxification, the old man searched for various classics, but did not find any record of the 'fork in the road', there may be a big opportunity in it, so he plans to explore it again, but it is just ......"
Wu Xinhe continued: "It's just that the disciples in the tribe alone may not be able to retreat with their whole body, so I hope Lin Xiaoyou can accompany him, I don't know what you think?"
"This ......"
"If you find an opportunity in it, it will be owned by you!" Wu Xinhe added.
"Brother Lin, come with us, I can trust you!"
"Brother Lin, if you don't have any other plans for the time being, it will be beneficial and harmless to explore together, and besides, with Elder Wu accompanying you, there will be no danger. ”
At this time, Lin Xiuqi was a little entangled in his heart, he knew that the forbidden dungeon was very mysterious, and the fork in the road was bound to be extraordinary, however, Gu Hongjian, who cultivated in the later stage of foundation building, could not retreat with his whole body, if he entered, it was easy to accidentally stage a drama of "dying before leaving the school"!
"Boy, go and see, there must be treasures when there is a fork in the road in the forbidden dungeon. ”
"Why are you so sure. ”
"Do you remember the formation outside the dungeon?"
"Of course, there is a sense of similarity with the Great Array of the Five Elements Sect, perhaps it is from the same person's hand, which is very mysterious. ”
"If someone can arrange an independent space in this kind of formation, what do you think of this person's strength?"
Lin Xiuqi was slightly stunned, if someone could really spread it in the formation of the forbidden dungeon for a while, it could be called a move from heaven to earth, he immediately spoke: "Everyone is serious, if you don't give up, Lin is willing to go together." ”
"Okay, let's go!" Gu Hongjian said.
"Uh...... Let's go now?"
Wu Xinhe said with a smile: "In order to prevent the regeneration of the Di Barbarian tribe, it is not advisable to prepare too much, the number of people on this trip is also not much, only a few monks in the tribe." ”
"Okay!"
"Brother Lin, this time we can fight side by side again!"
"You're also a monk of the Extraordinary Ranks?"
"Of course, it's only twenty-eighth, hehe!"
Lin Xiuqi suddenly remembered that when he checked the list of barbarian talents before, he only looked at the top ten side, the stone pillar had five sides, and the side that recorded the twenty to thirty places happened to be on the back, so he didn't pay attention to it.
"You go and get ready, and the old man will arrive later. Wu Xinhe said.
The three of them saluted respectfully, and when they left the stone house, Gu Hongjian spoke: "Ahe, is it really appropriate to let Lin Xiaoyou accompany ......him?
"I've also thought about this matter, Ah Jian, I don't know if you feel this way, I always feel that Lin Xiaoyou has a relationship with my barbarians, I don't know why!"
"I don't feel that way, but your instincts have always been accurate, I believe you!"
......
More than a dozen people gathered in front of a stone building, Gu Xiaoman, Silva and Lin Xiuqi were among them, and they were the barbarian monks who planned to enter the ruins.
"Brother Gu, are there so many monks in the Liman tribe who have entered the list of talents?" 110 literature
"Most of them were once in and then squeezed down. ”
In the face of Gu Xiaoman's outspokenness, several people showed embarrassed looks on their faces, but they did not have the slightest sense of anger.
Lin Xiuqi likes the atmosphere of the barbarians very much, no matter who is dissatisfied here, he will inevitably challenge the opponent directly in the ring, and after the competition, shake hands and make peace, no one will suppress the unhappiness in his heart.
After a while, Wu Xinhe descended from the sky and said, "Let's go!"
"Yes!" said everyone in unison.
A group of more than a dozen people entered the path leading to the underground and passed through the "Giant Stone Wall" to enter the forbidden ruins.
After only a minute, Lin Xiuqi was surprised to find that none of the barbarian monks used spirit runes, spirit pills and other foreign objects to resist the forbidden aura, and all of them only used spiritual power to protect their bodies.
Although this behavior is less affected by the forbidden aura, it also shows the strength of the barbarian monks' physique, at least in the forbidden dungeon palaces of the Houtu Courtyard and the Ruijin Courtyard, there is no one who does not use foreign objects, perhaps only their slow movements can show that any forbidden dungeon palace is not a place that can be easily conquered.
Lin Xiuqi looked at the barbarian monks, they were also looking at Lin Xiuqi, but their moods were completely different, in the final analysis, Lin Xiuqi was just curious, but they were completely surprised.
Five minutes later, Gu Xiaoman couldn't help it anymore and said, "Brother Lin, don't you feel restricted in your movements in the ruins?"
"Uh...... It felt like walking in the water, and I kept trying to maintain my normal pace as much as possible. ”
"Oh~~~"
Everyone made a sound of "I see", they thought that Lin Xiuqi didn't feel the pressure, if that was the case, it would be really terrifying.
Wu Xinhe took the opportunity to say: "You also have to learn more from Lin Xiaoyou, and don't relax your tempering at any time." ”
"Yes!"
Everyone followed Lin Xiuqi's example, keeping their original stride and speed as much as possible, but no matter how hard they tried, there was always a hint of jerkiness.
Seeing that he had become "someone else's child", Lin Xiuqi encouraged everyone: "It will not go well at first, hold on, and you will always be rewarded." ”
Not only the barbarian cultivators in the Qi Gathering Period, but also the people in the Spirit Period who heard this, they also nodded frequently at Lin Xiuqi in agreement.
An hour later, traces of plants appeared in the ruins, a nettle with broad, ovate, black-green leaves, black-gray stalactite traces on it, serrated edges, slender petioles, only the height of a bench, and a "malnourished" feeling.
When Lin Xiuqi entered the ruins before, he was deeply engaged, although he saw the shadow of the plant, he didn't pay too much attention to it, at this time, the speed of progress was not fast, and he could take a closer look.
He was about to reach out to touch it, but was stopped by Wu Xinhe.
"Lin Xiaoyou, this thing is called 'Tomb Ash Cold Water Grass', it will be infected with corpse poison when touched, so it's better to be careful. ”
"Thank you Senior Wu for reminding me, I haven't seen this thing before. ”
"It's no wonder that the grass is extinct in the outside world, and about three or four months ago, the ruins suddenly appeared after a shock. ”
"Three or four months ago, there was another tremor?"
"That's right, this tremor is very strange, and those who are in it will feel a kind of anger that seems to be nothing, and some people speculate that there is an unknown powerful existence in the depths, and for a while, some people want to explore, and some people want to seal this place. ”
"So there is such a thing, Senior Wu, where is the fork in the road mentioned earlier?"
"It's almost there!"
A group of more than a dozen people walked for two hours, and found a large number of black-green vines and plants crawling all over a wall on the left side of the front.
"This is it!
The crowd followed Wu Xinhe's instructions and retreated behind him, staring at the old man who looked to be only sixty years old with expectant expressions.
Wu Xinhe took out a black bag, slapped it on the bag three times with his hand, and said something in his mouth.
The silver-white light flashed, and several small snakes with the thickness of hemp rope appeared, the snake gods were about two meters long, and they were of different colors, but without exception, their eyes showed a bright light, and they looked back at Wu Xinhe, as if they were listening to the other party's appeal.
Wu Xinhe's mouth made a strange sound like a whisper, and some strange gestures appeared in his hands, and the eyes of the spirit snake showed a human-like "understanding" look, and they all crawled towards the plants in front of them.
These vines had already withered a little, and in Lin Xiuqi's impression, as long as they were touched slightly, they would make a "click" sound and then break.
The next moment, he realized that his idea was wrong, very wrong.
