Chapter 63: Black Vine Devouring Spirit
The rain lasted until dawn, but the cultivators were all sheltered by Gang Qi, and before the rain could reach them, it had been vaporized and lifted into the air.
At the beginning of dawn, the rain gradually stopped, Jiang Fan stared around, and found that the black vines on the ground were even darker than yesterday.
Last night was his vigil, so he could keep observing, all the time, the black vines that covered the ground with something strange to make. These black vines seem to become thicker and thicker once they are touched by rain, but their arrangement and growth are very disorderly, and Jiang Fan still has difficulty seeing its source.
However, there is another phenomenon, that is, many small animals in the woods will deliberately avoid these vines and do not touch them, which is even more novel to Jiang Fan.
Through the deep forest moistened by the light rain, it became muddy, and the damp qi erupted from time to time, rushing into the noses of Jiang Fan and the others. Rolls of gray smoke, coming from nowhere, have already infected the entire forest, making this ancient forest much more ethereal.
In the smoke, Gu Nianqing had already come to Jiang Fan's side, and after seeing him observing those vines with a rigorous face, he couldn't help but smile and asked, "What did Brother Jiang find?"
Hearing this, Jiang Fan looked back at him, shook his head and said: "These black vines change when they encounter water, and even some small creatures dare not touch them, which can be seen in their weirdness, but unfortunately they grow disorderly, criss-crossed, and converge in all directions, it is really difficult to see where its source is!"
These words made Gu Nianqing stunned for a moment, and then he deliberately observed some of the situation on all sides with his eyes, and sure enough, he found that some creatures such as birds and mice did not dare to touch the vines that stretched for a long time on the ground.
Seeing this, Gu Nianqing looked at Jiang Fan and said, "Could it be that these black vines are poisonous?" Jiang Fan heard this, but said with a smile: "Brother Gu is confused, if they are really poisonous, I don't know how many times I have touched them since the day they appeared, and I haven't seen poisoning!"
Gu Nianqing smiled embarrassedly, knowing that she was not thoughtful, and after scratching her head, she said, "Since it is non-poisonous, why don't those birds, mice and foxes dare to touch this black vine?"
Hearing this, Jiang Fan could only shake his head, he was puzzled by this. At this time, Gong Xun and Xue Xiangying walked over, only to see Xue Xiangying staring at the dense fog around him, and said: "These fogs gather in this deep forest and do not disperse for a long time, which is not a good thing!"
The deep forest is already dangerous, and now there is a thick fog shrouded in it, obscuring people's vision, which increases the level of danger.
Although they can rely on their breath to detect the movement ahead, once they encounter something that can block the breath detection, they will unknowingly go deep into the trap and find it difficult to get out.
"Look, the vine is blooming!"
Gong Xun's voice suddenly came out, and when everyone heard the voice, they saw that the black vines under their feet were actually growing buds at an extremely fast speed, and they immediately bloomed directly.
Seeing this, Jiang Fan's heart was suddenly shocked, only to see that among those blooming flowers, black smoke rose and swirled in all directions. At the same time, a strange floral fragrance rushed into the mouths and noses of the four people, making them instantly feel intoxicated and very comfortable.
In a few moments, all the vines were full of black strange flowers, which caused them to be surrounded by the fragrance of flowers. In the sea of flower fragrance, Xue Xiangying's expression suddenly changed, and she said in shock: "I know what these vines are, you hurry up and hold your breath, this pollen is poisonous and will make you lose consciousness!"
Hearing this, the other three hurriedly got into their noses and began to hold their breath, and immediately looked at her, waiting for her next sentence.
Sure enough, Xue Xiangying continued: "If these vines are as good as I expected, they are black spirit devouring vines, such sinister creatures, every time after the rain, in the morning of the next day, they will bloom and scatter pollen, confusing all the spirits in the forest, and automatically send them into its spirit devouring pool, turning them into its nutrient food!"
Hearing this, Jiang Fan and the others couldn't help but be shocked, at this moment they really felt that their heads were a little fainting, an unknown summoning, if nothing was subconsciously guiding them, trying to lead them to a certain place.
This feeling is so hard for people to control themselves, if it weren't for the reason why they inhaled less pollen, I am afraid that it would have been difficult to control themselves at this moment, and they involuntarily walked in the direction of the source of the black devouring spirit vine.
Looking around, they saw many animals crawling straight in one direction, as if they were under some kind of control.
Seeing this, Gong Xun immediately said: "Then let's go quickly, let's get out of here!" Such a strange thing is really terrifying, and with just some pollen, it can control those creatures to send it into their mouths, as soon as they think of this, Gong Xun can't help but feel a chill in his heart, and he can't wait to stay away immediately.
Even Jiang Fan and Gu Nianqing nodded in agreement, but Xue Xiangying suddenly looked at them with a different look and said: "Don't worry, this Black Soul Devouring Spirit Vine is terrifying, but it is not without benefits! All living beings in the world are reincarnated, and this Black Soul Devouring Spirit Vine is naturally difficult to escape, so when these black strange flowers all wither, the source of the Black Dark Devouring Spirit Vine will grow something called the Black Soul Fruit!"
Black Underworld?
Jiang Fan had heard of this name for the first time, so he had a puzzled expression, but Gu Nianqing seemed to have a memory, and said: "I seem to have seen this name somewhere, although I don't remember it, but in general, this Black Soul Fruit is a good thing!"
"That's right, the Black Immortal Fruit is the essence of this Black Immortal Devouring Spirit Vine, which condenses a majestic aura, which can be eaten and refined by cultivators, and improve their realm cultivation!"
Xue Xiangying smiled. In fact, she didn't say a word, the real effect of this black dark fruit is for the black dark devouring spirit vine to cultivate the treasure of spiritual wisdom, it is originally a thing that the black dark devouring spirit vine uses for its own use, and after eating the black dark fruit, the vine can gradually produce spiritual wisdom and turn into a spiritual elixir, so as to become an earthly creature that can cultivate like a human being.
Therefore, if they go to rob it, they will definitely fight to the death with the Black Soul Devouring Spirit Vine!
As soon as Jiang Fan heard that he could improve his cultivation, his heart warmed up a little, he was now in the Gathering Spirit Realm, if he had that Black Soul Fruit, he could advance to the Qi Transformation Realm!
Xue Xiangying looked at the look in his eyes and knew what he was thinking, so he continued: "That Black Immortal Fruit is a treasure, but this kind of treasure will inevitably be protected by the Black Immortal Devouring Spirit Vine, if you want to fight, then a battle will alarm many more difficult opponents!"
Hearing this, Gu Nianqing and Gong Xun suddenly hesitated, they just wanted to reach the central area of the Dongyan Mountain Range safely, and they couldn't make trouble during the period, so they said: "It's better to give up, the vines that can confuse many living beings in this forest through pollen are not ordinary difficult things, and once they attract other cultivators, it will be even more troublesome!"
