Chapter Seventy-Four: This Sword Is Yours
"I didn't agree to it before!"
"Don't move!" Dugu Hexuan picked up a ball of blood, stretched it out to the young man's mouth, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, I'm sorry, you still have to eat this thing again." ”
"Ahh
As soon as the young man opened his mouth, the blood ball fell into his mouth, and he swallowed with a "grunt". Suddenly, red smoke came out of the young man's mouth, and small cyan flesh worms swam out of his nose. Dugu Hexuan put the small meat insect into a box of pollen.
"Sure enough, it's a green extinguishing worm, not a blood extinguishing worm. Dugu Hexuan muttered, "In the blood soil, there are green extinguishing insects, and there are blood barbarian bamboos. How does this look like a plague land? There seem to be traces of human beings here!"
Gan Dan quietly glanced at Dugu Hexuan and said in a low voice: "Brother Dugu, will human sweat really inhibit the growth of that meat worm?"
"You're pretty smart! However, with the blood sacrifice of the Green Extinguishing Worm, you will have no worries about your life!"
Dugu Hexuan used the green extinguishing insects that had been sacrificed with pollen and blood as the medicine, and it only took one hour to prepare and refine more than 300 antidotes. Resolve the green extinguishing insects on your body for everyone. In this process, those who have no foundation for Taoism have undergone obvious changes in their physical bodies, and the meridians that were originally blocked and stagnant have gradually shown signs of unblocking.
Dugu Hexuan did not skimp on what he had learned, and taught a cultivation method to people like Huang Shu who had no foundation in Taoism, and instructed them to absorb the power of spirit stones and cultivate the divine power forging body. Among them, nine people with broken arms, whose bodies are mutilated, are the most difficult. Whenever he saw that the nine people vomited blood and still couldn't complete a complete cultivation, Dugu Hexuan felt very sad.
Dugu Hexuan is not a soft-hearted person.
The sky pays off.
Ten days later, the nine men finally succeeded. Huang Su and others, who were with them, have already made some achievements. With the cultivation of the Dao Xing, the speed of cutting bamboo has increased several times. So, this group of people insisted on cutting bamboo and slowly moved forward. As the leader of the alliance, Dugu Hexuan is not only not in a hurry, but sometimes even deliberately suppresses the speed.
Everyone naturally understood the painstaking efforts of the alliance leader. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to comprehensively improve the combat effectiveness of the team, even if you have to rush more roads, it will be in vain. What's more, no one can guess for sure what kind of calculations the alliance leader has in foresight for many things. If it comes to the time when someone has to be sacrificed, the high-ranking alliance leader probably won't even blink an eye.
"Senior brother, it's been three months since we entered the Otherworld. Do you have to wait patiently?"
"Wait! until this line of bloody barbarian bamboo is cut down!"
Dugu Hexuan replied very resolutely, knowing that Qiu Xu's wisdom was very high and it was likely to be above him. If you wait like this, there are two people here who can't be hidden, one is Qiu Xu, and the other is Huang Shu. However, he could only continue to wait.
Qiu Yu was a little unwilling, a little uncertain, and asked tentatively, "Senior brother, have you found any other clues?"
Dugu Hexuan smiled and said, "Second child, guess?"
Qiu Yu shook his head decisively and said, "I don't know anything about things here. I just judged by my feelings, the senior brother asked everyone to cut down bamboo, which has a deeper intention. ”
"Actually, I don't know anything. It's just that the miscellaneous books I've read and the stories I've heard are richer than yours. Now, the only thing I know for sure is the blood sacrifice soil, and the confirmed green extinguishing insects. Other than that, everything else is speculation and assumptions, including what I call it
The mysterious tree of the Bloody Bamboo. Dugu Hexuan said, "We must be patient and wait for useful information to appear." Otherwise, it will be difficult to save our more than 100 lives. ”
In the open wilderness, the bamboo-cutting army continued to advance. In addition to the four hours of rest for cultivation every day, the remaining eight hours are all spent on cutting bamboo. After three months of training, the spirit of this team has risen to a new level. Those who did not have a foundation for Taoism before the third month were also the worst of the Pure Spirit Realm First Realm, and a few people even broke through to the Pure Spirit Realm Triple Perfection in one fell swoop. There is one person who has directly reached the fourth level of the Qingling Realm, and he is Shi Wengong, who was disemboweled.
With their own hands, they cut a path alive.
On this day, Dugu Hexuan inadvertently found that the speed of everyone cutting bamboo had increased by nearly ten times. With his keen sense of smell, he immediately felt the change in the Blood Barbarian Bamboo. Dugu Hexuan did not deliberately stop everyone, but pretended to cut down a tree unintentionally and carefully observed the incision. At first glance, the incision is smooth and no different from the previous ones. However, upon closer inspection, it is evident that there are marks on the fracture, which are the marks of the tree's growth rings.
So, finally, it was determined that it was not the bamboo that everyone fell, but the tree. It's just that in this area, this mysterious tree reveals its characteristics.
Dugu Hexuan grabbed a handful of soil, sniffed it, and said in his heart: The smell of blood is gone. Could it be that everyone has already walked out of the bloody land?
"Big brother, a lot of bones. Gu Jia suddenly roared, causing everyone to retreat sharply and gather around Dugu Hexuan.
Dugu Hexuan approached, only to see that the front line that everyone was cutting down was no longer dirt, but bone ground. It was a deep, long pit, filled with bones. In front, a mysterious tree grows on the white bones of the forest.
Gu Jia said: "Big brother, what kind of bones is this? Why are there so many?"
"Human bones!"
"Huh?" more than a hundred surprised voices came at the same time.
"In ancient times, when the gate of the other world was closed, the human race that did not return to the Hongmeng realm probably ended up like this. Dugu Hexuan said calmly, "If this comes true, then when the gate of the other world opens again, it will be the time when the human race will take crazy revenge on the foreign race." At that time, the dragon will fight in the wilderness, and its blood will stain the sky. Remember, we try to be part of it, not a spectator. ”
Dugu Hexuan continued: "This also proves that the bloody land we passed through must have been laid by the power of the human race in ancient times. It's just that it is not known whether it is related to the otherworldly gate of Kuafu Mountain. ”
Huang Shu said: "This bloody land is also a burial ground?"
"Yes!" Dugu Hexuan replied, "The first thing we want to track down is the origin of this mysterious tree. This mysterious tree is definitely not owned by the human race. I can only assume for now that they are: Sealed Tokens, and they are directly related to the opening of the Otherworldly Gate. ”
Dugu Hexuan said in a deep voice: "Senior Brother Shen, you take someone to burn the remaining mysterious tree. Others, ready to fight. ”
A short time later, balls of fire were thrown into the woods, and the Tree of Mystery burst into flames. Under the firelight, there seemed to be countless yin spirits emitting mournful voices, echoing over the empty and endless moat for a long time.
Dugu Hexuan led everyone forward, and the mysterious tree where he passed was burned to ashes. To everyone's surprise, this pit of the dead is a hundred miles away. Probably not
Would one believe that there really are so many Terrans who have been buried here, and they are still so neat?
Even Dugu Hexuan felt only cold in his heart. Others, not to mention, were pale and in poor spirits. Everyone looked at the last section of the fire, and the mental pressure was somewhat relieved, and the situation improved slightly.
When they reached the end of the mysterious tree, the mountains appeared in front of everyone at the right time. Dugu Hexuan overlooks the mountains, and his thoughts are flying. Suddenly, a strong and clear thought came, and I suddenly felt a slight shock in my heart, and my footsteps couldn't help but walk towards the fire.
Three feet away from the fire, Dugu Hexuan quickly dug up, and in no time, lifted a giant sword from the ground. The giant sword is completely black, with a width of nine inches and nine, and a long foot of nine feet, with no blades and no blades, and there are all kinds of embroidery, and there is no aura and divine power.
The moment he picked up the sword, his heartbeat intensified, pulling the flame in his heart. The flames were suppressed by an inexplicable force, which in turn caused snowballs and waves to move on the left and right sides. The four sides wrestled and gradually reached a balance. Dugu Hexuan calmed down.
Gu Jia hurriedly ran over and said, "Big brother, this is everyone's chance, do you want to swallow it alone?"
Huang Chu also walked over and said, "Big man, don't be joking." This artifact can sense the soul of the eldest brother, and the sluggish reaction of the eldest brother just now is caused by the soul of the artifact and the soul of the human being devouring each other. If you had taken this sword, it would have become a pile of bones. ”
Gu Jia glared and said, "Blue-eyed, who are you scaring about?" Then you mean, so many white bones are caused by this big sword?"
"I didn't say that. But if it's one of the reasons, it's not surprising. ”
Dugu Hexuan nodded and said, "What Brother Huang said is very true. Perhaps, those Terran predecessors were buried to protect this sword, maybe it's not true. But if any of you wants to try his luck, then whoever can take the sword will be the one who owns it. Brother Gu, you come first. ”
Gu Jia smiled and said, "Big brother, no need." The sword is yours. If anyone dares to rob you, I'll help you clean him up. Gu Jia looks like five big and three thick, but he is also a person with a careful heart, he is the closest, and he naturally sees Dugu Hexuan's hand holding the sword, and there is a faint black mist coming out. That can only show that Huang Shu's statement is reasonable.
Dugu Hexuan glanced at the others, and the others had blank expressions, and they had no intention of fighting. Dugu Hexuan didn't care about the black mist in his hand, he casually carried the giant sword on his shoulder and walked towards the mountains in front of him.
Mountains and forests.
Looking back, at the foot of the mountain is a flat river, and in the gradually extinguishing flames, the gloom and gloom are highlighted.
The endless aura of desolation pervades the mountains and the dark and deep forests, in stark contrast to the bloody plains.
As the team entered the mountains, the situation was no longer as calm as it was on the Hirakawa in the trenches. On the first day of entering the mountain range, several low-level demon beasts appeared. The first-order demon beasts here seem to be even stronger than the second-order demon beasts in the Hongmeng Realm. However, with Qiu Xu, Ji Ning and other True Yuan Realm cultivators, low-level demon beasts obviously would not pose any threat.
Even so, Dugu Hexuan immediately made a decision and ordered the team to avoid the forest and try to walk on the more barren peaks.
Wearing the stars and the moon, over the mountains and mountains.
It's a full moon night again.
When the moon was full, a cloud of fire rose in the distant sky.
