As the surroundings gradually quieted down, there was silence all around them again. Xu Chenglin, who was running with all his strength, was extremely fast, and reached the middle of the mountain peak in less than three or four hours.

All the way up, there are more and more ancient trees on the peaks, and they are getting thicker and stronger. It is worth mentioning that all ancient trees have the same characteristics, that is, there are many vines hanging on each ancient tree.

These vines are rooted in the old tree, but the old tree does not seem to have withered because of it. On the contrary, the more lush the vine grew, the thicker the tree grew. Obviously, the relationship between the vine and the ancient tree is not parasitic, but more like a symbiotic relationship.

At the beginning, Xu Chenglin did not take these ancient trees and vines to heart. Originally, some trees without wisdom can stir up some wind and waves. But as he reached the middle of the mountain, his mind changed completely.

Without a smart tree, it may be possible to make a huge wave. The ancient tree in the middle of the mountain peak is more than 20 feet long, and the three-foot-thick tree is covered with wrist-thick vines.

Dense ancient trees are separated by a dozen feet, and these ancient trees are staggered and almost obscured the entire sky. The dappled light shines through the canopy of the trees on the ground, so that the underneath the ancient trees does not appear to be too dark. But what is surprising is that there is no wind and grass, and the light spots on the ground are indeed constantly changing positions.

A tall ancient tree attracted Xu Chenglin's attention, and he saw that this ancient tree was much taller than other ancient trees. If many ancient trees are like warriors in the army, then this ancient tree is a general among warriors.

This ancient tree is different from other ancient trees, and there are six strange fruits that are more than one person tall hanging from the ancient tree. These fruits are entangled in vines, and from time to time the vines will crawl a few times to make the fruit more tightly wound.

"These vines can move, could it be that they are also intelligent?"

Xu Chenglin's eyes shrank and he looked at the ancient tree in front of him seriously. The six strange fruits on the tree attracted his attention.

Before Xu Chenglin could take a closer look, one of the strange fruits suddenly shook violently. The other five fruits also shook one after another as if they had received a message.

With the continuous shaking, various colors of spiritual light flashed on the six fruits. Seeing these flashes of spiritual light, Xu Chenglin felt a sense of danger in his heart. But the source of this feeling, he had no way of knowing. A practitioner's telepathy is generally foreshadowed, which Xu Chenglin himself has personally verified.

Quietly, he took a few steps back. With a flick of his right hand in the storage bag, the Lotus Flying Blade appeared in his hand. With a slight shake, the flying blade turned into nine like a lotus flower. Nine flying blades flew up and down, guarding Xu Chenglin in the middle.

As soon as these were done, Xu Chenglin saw that the tall ancient trees suddenly shook. The six strange fruits also flickered and shook with the ancient tree. Xu Chenglin's body tensed instantly, staring at everything in front of him with all his attention. The flying blades around his body also trembled, and the speed of his flight increased a few points.

The aura on the six fruits continued to weaken as the ancient tree trembled. But these spiritual lights are sucked away by the vines and flow along the vines. Some of this flowing aura was absorbed by the vines, and some of it was transmitted to the ancient trees through the vines.

After absorbing these spiritual lights, the ancient trees and vines grew a lot quietly. After a while, the ancient trees and vines slowly stopped shaking, and the strange fruits on the trees also stopped shaking.

"Absorb spiritual power to strengthen yourself, is it possible that the things on the tree are not the fruits of the ancient trees, but the prey that they rely on the vines to catch?"

When Xu Chenglin saw this scene, he immediately had a guess in his heart. As soon as the thought flashed through his mind, everything that followed proved it for him.

A heavy wheezing sound came from the ancient tree, and listening carefully, Xu Chenglin found that the sound was coming from those strange fruits.

The wheezing continued for a few moments, then gradually leveled off. A rough voice came out weakly.

"Senior brothers, don't be discouraged, let's try again. How can we dignified cultivators be trapped by a few strange vines. ”

Hearing the voice, Xu Chenglin's eyes froze, and the expression on his face became a little solemn.

"But there are Taoist friends trapped in it!"

The surrounding sounds were suffocated by Xu Chenglin's shouting, and then the rough voice sounded again.

"But there are Taoist friends outside, and I hope that Taoist friends will help me and rescue the six of us!"

"It's okay! Fellow Daoist be careful, I'll break these vines!"

Hearing someone calling for help, Xu Chenglin was about to command the flying blade to break through the vines.

"Don't use spiritual power to attack vines, these vines can absorb spiritual power, and the fastest way is to directly attack the roots of the vines. ”

As if he was afraid that his colleagues outside would suffer, the rough voice hurriedly reminded him.

"Thank you for reminding you, be careful!"

The flying blades around Xu Chenglin's body flew out with six handles, each of which slashed towards the root of a vine.

Puff puff... With six consecutive sounds, six monks wrapped tightly in vines fell to the ground. The vines in the tree were battered, like a mad snake.

After a frantic dance, the vines silently shrank back into the canopy. The six monks who fell to the ground rolled on the ground for a while, and finally managed to get out of the siege of the vines.

These six monks seemed to be from different sects, but when they were all called senior brothers, it was obvious that they all trusted each other.

At this time, they were extremely weak, their faces were pale and terrifying, and the main points of their bodies such as the Baihui on their heads were also constantly beating, and they obviously looked like they were over-consumed.

The six of them came out of trouble, not caring about their weak bodies, and thanked Xu Chenglin one after another. Xu Chenglin smiled slightly, stopped the six people, and motioned for them to recover their spiritual power first. Seeing Xu Chenglin like this, the vigilance in their hearts decreased slightly.

Half an hour later, the six of them had recovered some of their spiritual power. The rough voice that had spoken to Xu Chenglin earlier came from a square-faced black monk. Looking at these six people, it seems that it is this black strong monk who is the leader. This person got up and bowed to Xu Chenglin to the end.

"Thank you for helping us get out of trouble, the grace of rescue is unforgettable. ”

With the words of the Black Zhuang monk, the other five people also bowed deeply. Xu Chenglin did not refuse, and was bowed by several people.

Xu Chenglin did not shirk this salute, and the six of them relaxed in their hearts. If he refuses, it means that he must have a plan. did not excuse himself, but showed that he had no plans for the six people.

After the six people got up, Xu Chenglin smiled at a few people.

"Meeting is fate, just a gesture. ”

"Daoyou is humble, and the grace of rescue is unforgettable. ”

"I wonder why a few fellow Daoists were trapped by the vines?"

"Don't hide it from fellow Daoists, the six of us also arrived here not long ago, and without paying attention, we touched the vines on the ancient tree. These vines come directly to us, and they are extremely weak at first. But after a few of our spell attacks, instead of being destroyed, these vines grew wildly. After a while, they surrounded me and a few others, and then no matter how many spells we used, we couldn't get out, but the vines became more tough and indestructible. By the time we realized that these vines could absorb spiritual power, we would have been unable to get out of trouble. Later, we wanted to get out of trouble with the help of magic weapons, but whenever we used magic weapons to gather spiritual power, these weird vines would suck the spiritual power away. Later, Daoyou also saw it. ”

The Black Zhuang monk told their story, but it also solved Xu Chenglin's doubts.

"Didn't Daoist try to use fire-based spells?"

"It didn't work, we tried. Fire spells are initially effective, but only a few breaths of time spells are absorbed by the vines. ”

Listening to the other person's answer, Xu Chenglin couldn't help but raise his head. Look around at the ancient trees, which are more or less entwined with vines.

"It seems that these vines are really not easy, and it is a big trouble on the way up the mountain. These vines can absorb spiritual power to grow, but if they are allowed to become a climate, it will be difficult to do. ”

Thinking so in his heart, Xu Chenglin looked at the six people again.

"Six fellow Daoists, I don't know where to go next, but do you want to go up?"

The six of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and then the black strong monk spoke.

"I and a few others have consumed too much spiritual power, and I don't know what difficulties we will encounter if we continue to go up. We're going to go down and try our luck on other peaks. ”

"I see, if that's the case, I suggest you go to the purple peaks and give it a try......"

Xu Chenglin told a few people about the situation of the purple peak, especially the strangeness of the peach blossom forest. These are not things worth keeping secret, so Xu Chenglin did not cherish the broom.

"Thank you for informing me, I haven't asked for the name of the Taoist friend yet. ”

"Jiuhua Academy, Xu Chenglin!"

Xu Chenglin clenched his fists slightly and smiled at a few people.

"It turned out to be Xu Daoyou, and we will remember the great kindness of Daoyou!

The six of them clasped their fists again, thanking Xu Chenglin for his rescue.

Xu Chenglin shook his head slightly, a little helpless at a few people.

"A few people, I won't stay here longer, I wish you a smooth journey!"

He smiled and glanced at the six, then turned and continued towards the top of the mountain.

"Take care!"

The black strong monk watched Xu Chenglin go away, and also turned around and left towards the bottom of the mountain.

Half an hour later, the six monks gathered. The magic weapon in his hand flashed, and from time to time the magic weapon flew out to attack something.

On closer inspection, they weren't attacking vines or something. They were besieged by vines again, only this time they were on guard and were not trapped and unable to resist.

"Damn, these vines are not only able to absorb spiritual power, but they also track them based on their traces. Are we going to be trapped by this strange vine again? Damn! Xu Daoyou didn't know the news yet, and I don't know what happened to him now. ”

"Alright, we're too busy to take care of ourselves, and we don't have time to worry about him. Damn, it's obviously vines, but you can't use fire spells to burn them all. ”

Just as a few people were at a loss, a round of golden light rose into the air. The trees that covered the sky were instantly pierced by the golden light, which was like a golden sun, illuminating a piece of golden light.

The golden light dissipated, and the golden sun burst open and turned into countless sparks. The sparks landed on the vines surrounding the six people, and the moment the vines touched the golden sparks, they quickly withered and burned. Within a few breaths, the vines besieging the six were burned to the ground.

The six of them were all shocked when they saw this, and it was clear that the fire spell had no effect on the vines. Why this golden flame can burn vines, how is this done?

Could it be that the fire spell doesn't work, but that your own fire spell is not powerful enough?
