Chapter Forty-Nine: The Eyed Bird
The time is approaching, the sun converges its dazzling light over the forest, and the white clouds floating in the sky are painted with a layer of golden yellow under the reflection of the setting sun, which is particularly magnificent.
In the distance is a sea of forests, and the border is barely visible, only white mist rises from the forest to the sky, which looks mostly strange and mysterious......
At this time, on the horizon, from time to time, there would be a few rays of light flying in the sky, and those people who didn't know who they were, just watched them control their immortal magic weapons, and then fell into the vast forest sea one after another.
At night, Duanmuqi and a group of nine people, they found a relatively safe place, rested here for a night, ate the dry food they carried when they were hungry, and lay down on the trunk of the tree to sleep when they were sleepy!
This night was the first night they had just come to the Desolate Forest, and they were worried about the presence of reptiles and strange beasts, but they only heard intermittent insect chirping and bird chirping all night, and they were safe and sound all night.
Vertical day.
A group of people appeared in the desolate forest, and they rushed to the depths of the dense forest in groups, and they didn't know who the sect was, and it seemed that they were quite loud!
Along the way, the group encountered many reptilian beasts, but they were so small that when they encountered them, they all fled or hid in the dense forest.
The group had been walking in the forest for a short time, when out of nowhere came the chirping of several birds, which sounded as loud and beautiful as phoenixes!
At this moment, everyone stopped, and raised their heads to look over the dense forest, looking for the source of the sound!
I could only hear the flapping of wings getting closer and closer, and after a while, a flock of almost fiery red alien birds appeared above everyone's heads, dancing and whirling in the sky.
Just look at their two eyes, each with two pupils, and the light is shining. On the top of the head, on the neck and on the tail, there are golden feathers, which shine brightly!
According to the book "Book of Strange Beasts", it is recorded: this bird is a legendary bird, the mountain of Danxue, there are strange birds, its shape is like a chicken, the sound is like a phoenix, the eyes are heavy, the power is infinite, the fierce beast that fights is the heavy eyed bird!
Then again, when everyone in the dense forest saw this scene above their heads, the group of heavy-eyed birds did not seem to have the intention of attacking them, which made everyone let down their guard, and at this moment they were watching the group of heavy-eyed birds in the sky with a curious look, and they all looked at the birds and amazed again and again!
Suddenly, one of the heavy-eyed birds in the sky suddenly lowered its head, and the fierce gaze in its eyes stared directly at the people on the ground, and then it was accompanied by a scream, and the birds began to attack as if commanded, and they all flapped their wings and pecked down violently......
The people on the ground were caught off guard, and when they saw this sudden attack, they were thrown into confusion, some let out screams, some fled in the wilderness, and the rest hurriedly drew their weapons and tore up with those heavy-eyed birds.
For a while, due to the great strength of the heavy-eyed birds, they rushed into the crowd, and their front paws were heavy enough to grab those people's bodies, the claws penetrated deep into the viscera, blood spurted, and screams rang out one after another, and they fell to the ground and died of exhaustion!
A series of blood explosions sounded, flesh and blood flew sideways, and the speed of the heavy eyed birds was so fast that the group of people could not stop it, and under the sharp beaks pecked violently, several people's eyeballs had been pecked out, and then they were eaten, and then those people fell to the ground and rolled, wailing again and again!
With the sound of swords and swords, the fiery red feathers of several heavy-eyed birds flew off freely, as if they were maple leaves flying in the sky, and they fell to the ground with the flying blood rain. I think that a few of those people are not ordinary people, and after several struggles, several heavy-eyed birds broke their wings and flew to their deaths.
Despite this, in the face of the crazy attack of this group of alien birds, those people finally became exhausted, abandoned their armor one by one, and dodged in all directions, and this bloody battle ended!
At this moment, the ground was almost stained red with blood, and several corpses were piled up in a terrible state, and the birds fell from the sky at this time, pecking at each other, and from time to time there were a few strange calls......
In another part of the barren forest, the light in the cave gradually brightened, and at the top of the cave wall grew a deep green and thick root vine, intricately knotted.
The whole cave has an arch shape, and this cave has two openings that lead from one end to the other!
Duanmuqi and the others came here, only to see the stout vines above their heads in front of them, covered with crystal water droplets, the water droplets fell one after another, falling on a strange luminous plant in the cave, its leaves are purple blue, the leaves glow with a translucent white light, it looks extremely beautiful.
When the water droplets slapped on the purple and blue leaves, they all turned into spider-sized organisms and flew in the hole, and everyone looked at these strange scenes, and their faces showed surprise!
Walking forward is the entrance of the cave at the other end, and when they get out of the hole, there is another scene in front of them, only to see a few huge vines in front of them that need several people to surround and hug, coiled together. Beneath the vines was an abyss, and under the abyss there was a white mist that made it impossible to see below.
The group walked along a narrow path at the edge of the abyss, but at some point a huge cliff appeared on both sides of the path, and only a ray of light could be seen in front of them.
After a few roundabouts, Duanmuqi and the others had entered a valley of plants full of huge leaves, all of which were more than one person tall, and the leaves submerged them, so they had no choice but to fly up the sword.
The people were trekking in this forest like this, presumably they were looking for something important, otherwise with cultivators like them, they would still need to walk on foot, and they would have already flown over with the magic weapon.
They didn't fly very high, flying forward over those plants. After a while, the field of vision in front of them was slightly wider, and those plants that were more than one person tall were now gone, and everyone withdrew the flying swords under their feet and landed lightly on the ground.
At this moment, on the ground not far ahead, three huge flowers grew and formed a row. They are purple in color, and they all exude a soft light, and they are so beautiful that they are a strange scenery in this valley!
I saw the three huge purple flowers, each of which grew out of the ground, without branches or leaves, and the wide petals spread on the ground, like a fan, which was lightly stirring and extremely elastic.
Through the gap in the petals, several vines stretched out of the petals, and the vines reached into the sky, their ends spiraling and curling like tails.
At the center of the three purple flowers, a huge purple light burst out from the sky, and I saw that the top of the three purple lights was burning like a flame, which was very strange!
Duanmuqi and his party looked at the three huge strange flowers not far ahead, they all stopped and watched, and they all looked up at the purple pillar of light rising into the sky.
At this moment, Yue Ning, who was among the crowd, smiled skillfully, seeing that she should be in a good mood now, she stretched out a finger and pointed to the largest purple flower in front of her, and said with a smile: "Wow...... It's the first time I've ever seen such a strange tweed, how can it be so huge, so beautiful!" she sighed as she spoke!
She looked at Chu Zhichuan who was standing beside her, and saw that he was dumbfounded, his mouth was almost open enough to swallow an egg, and the expression on his face was even more surprised and rich than Yue Ningyi.
Yue Ningyi looked at Lin Xu, who was standing not far away, and said to him affectionately, "Senior Brother Lin, do you know what kind of flower this is?"
Lin Xu was on the other side, although his expression was not as exaggerated as Yue Ningyi and Chu Zhichuan, but it was the first time he had seen this flower, thinking that he had seen a lot of ancient books and scrolls before, and this purple flower in front of him had really not been recorded!
He turned his head to look at Yue Ningyi, shook his head slightly, and said, "Senior Sister Yue, this is the first time I've seen this flower, I really don't know what kind of flower it is!"
Yue Ningyi nodded, she looked at Lin Xu's warm smile, although she didn't even know him, but she was already very happy to see his smile.
At this time, Chu Zhichuan also said: "Yes, I have never seen such huge petals when I grow so big, I think only such a strange flower can grow in this desolate forest!"
Among the crowd, Gu Nanyun inadvertently set his eyes on Ye Lanjing beside him, seeing that her expression had not changed because of the strange flower in front of her, the woman was still as cold as frost, as if she could never guess what she was thinking, just quietly watching the three strange purple flowers.
"Senior Duanmu, do you know what kind of flower seed this is?" He Dahong asked Duanmu Qi on the side.
I only heard Duanmuqi staring at it for a long time, with a slight smile on his face, and then said lightly: "According to the records in ancient books: this flower is the 'Purple Spirit Flower', I don't know if it is the purple flower we saw in front of us!"
She continued: "It is rumored that in ancient times, that is, after the opening of Hongmeng, there was a fairy named Zibi, who was beautiful and powerful! That Li Fan was originally a cultivator, and the two of them were in love, and the Zibi Fairy followed Li Fan back to the master's gate. Li Fan has an evil master who has always coveted the immortal qi of the Zibi Fairy, if he can absorb the immortal qi on her body, he will be able to ascend to heaven, his merits will be complete, and he will no longer suffer from the catastrophe!"
Everyone didn't know the situation, so they listened carefully to Duanmu Qi's story, and Chu Zhichuan asked at this moment: "Uncle Duanmu, what happened later?"
Duanmu then said: "If this immortal qi breaks out of the body, it will be destroyed. Later, Li Fan's master cultivated an extremely evil magic circle, and his apprentice Li Fan was trapped in it, Zibi Fairy naturally wanted to go to the rescue, but under the coercion of Li Fan's master, she did not hesitate to sacrifice her life to forcibly force out the immortal qi in order to save Li Fan's man. Later, the purple fairy had a trace of spirit that did not disappear, and has been wandering between heaven and earth, I don't know how many years later, that spirit should be tired, so it flew down to the ground and fell asleep, and finally turned into three bewitching purple spirit flowers!"
After Duanmuqi finished speaking, everyone was silent for a while, whether this legend was true or not, they were all thinking about the spirit of the Zibi Fairy who could sacrifice for love, which made them admire!
Yue Ningyi's eyes flashed with a strange light, and she stared blankly at the three bewitching huge purple spirit flowers in front of her, as if she saw the figure of the purple fairy.
She felt that it was worth it for the Zibi Fairy to do this, if one day the man she loved was in any danger, then she would be like the Zibi Fairy, desperate to protect him, even if it was to take her own life!
At this moment, who could have noticed that a pair of tender eyes were being cast on Lin Xu's side, which was a deep love of joy, a longing feeling......
Yue Ningyi retracted her gaze, looking at the largest purple spirit flower in front of her, only to see the petals of the purple spirit flower swaying gently, beckoning to her, her expression became a little trance, and a series of pictures appeared in her mind, it was Lin Xu smiling, a pair of hands were wrapping around her, she was wearing a red and gorgeous dress, and the tenderness and sweetness at the moment were being staged in turn......
Just when everyone didn't pay much attention to it, Yue Ningyi's figure was already quietly moving.
Among the crowd, Chu Zhichuan also became a little confused at this moment, the purple spirit flower was so beautiful that he wanted to get closer, and after walking a few steps forward, he could see a green figure flashing in the center of the purple flower, the figure was dancing among the flowers, a beautiful face was facing Chu Zhichuan, and the woman's smile made him fall in spirit!
"Miss Liu......" Chu Zhichuan said softly, and then followed Yue Ningyi's steps and slowly approached the Purple Spirit Flower!
Ye Lanjing found that something was wrong with the two of them, and she had a bad premonition when she first saw this purple spirit flower, and even for a moment, when she stared at the flower, she was almost guided by an inexplicable illusion, which was fleeting!
Fortunately, she has a deep foundation in her Dao heart, which is able to resist the evil spirit charm of the purple spirit flower!
When the few people saw this purple spirit flower for the first time, only Yue Ningyi and Chu Zhichuan were happy about the flower, and they couldn't control their minds well, so they were easily charmed by the purple spirit flower.
Yue Ningyi and Chu Zhichuan walked a few steps away one after the other, they were like being possessed by evil spirits, their eyes were demented, their bodies became stiff, and they slowly walked towards the purple spirit flower......
"Everyone be careful, this purple spirit flower has the evil power of charm!" Ye Lanjing exclaimed!
Duanmuqi also felt that something was wrong, she only knew that the origin of this flower was recorded in the book, but she didn't expect that this flower was actually an evil flower!
"Ning Yi, Shigawa is coming back soon......" she shouted, and then quickly took a few steps and grabbed their shoulders.
In an instant, the three purple spirit flowers opposite them became shaken all over, and the wide petals gradually elongated, and the flowers seemed to have spirituality as if they had heard their conversation and were about to start attacking.
Yue Ningyi and Chu Zhichuan were stopped by Duanmu Qi's call, and they immediately regained their senses!
There was a sound of "...... the sound of the ropes", and they only saw that the purple light of the purple spirit flower instantly became stronger, and several long vines stretched out into the sky, and were sensed by the purple spirit flower, and quickly attacked everyone, like a poisonous snake rushing towards the sky.
Here, everyone has already pulled out their long swords, and began to swing and slash at the vines that attacked, and after several sword strokes, the rattans have been cut off, and they fell to the ground and wriggled like snakes, not completely dead, which made everyone feel shocked!
At this time, Yan Zhen and Wen Li, both of whom were in the field, soared together, clenched the glowing long sword in their hands, and rushed towards the other two slightly smaller purple spirit flowers......
In this way, the battle between the flowers and the people began, and a fierce sound sounded in the field, only to see the countless vines rushing up to the sky, turning into bundles of thick rattans, and the impact was greater than before!
But seeing Duanmuqi jumping up and flying into the air, the green light of the Qingjiao sword in her hand flashed, and she was about to confront the rattan that came violently, the blue light long sword immediately waved and danced in the air, and the sharp sword light was like lightning in the sky, Duanmuqi quickly swung her sword and slashed at the rattan, only to see that the rattan was cut in half, and some were cut off and fell to the ground.
Despite this, those thick rattans were still coming at her endlessly, but before she could get close, she was already slashed by the sword light wielded by Duanmuqi.
Looking at the ground again, He Dahong was fighting fiercely at the moment, his whole body exuded a ruthless energy, and the sword in his hand was dazzling, and countless vines had been cut down by him one after another.
The purple spirit flower on the opposite side continued to shoot vines while extending its wide petals around, and then the purple petals became thin and long, like long strips of cloth turning into several paths towards Gu Nanyun's side.
The petals did not rush straight like vines, but stretched out into the sky, and finally smashed down from mid-air, and for a moment, the ground had been smashed into several deep pits, and dirt was flying!
Gu Nanyun was secretly shocked in his heart, expecting that this flower was really powerful, it was really an evil sect!
There were several times when he was almost hit in the head, but fortunately, he was dexterous and avoided the waves of powerful attacks!
At this time, four or five more petals appeared in the sky above Gu Nanyun's eyes, which were quickly smashing towards the top of his head, he held the Kunqi Sword tightly, raised it high, and swung it around the sky above his head, a yellow circle of light flashed out, and then it was snatched out of the circle of light from several lightsabers, and immediately collided with the four or five smashed petals, the petals were pierced through several holes by several sword lights, and immediately flew to the ground, and the remaining part shrank back!
In addition, the other two slightly smaller purple spirit flowers in the field suddenly moved, merging and overlapping each other. At first, when the two purple spirit flowers were separated, Yan Zhen and Wen Li could still suppress their momentum when they dealt with one by one, but now that they are one, the strength is surprisingly overwhelming, Yan Zhen and Wen Li are already unable to parry in the face of this strange offset, and they are both repulsed and fly out!
At this moment, Yue Ningyi and Chu Zhichuan were together, and they approached the two overlapping purple spirit flowers. When the battle was fierce, he saw that the flower was divided into two flowers, as fast as light and shadow, and then surrounded Yue Ningyi and Chu Zhichuan in the middle, and the two purple spirit flowers gave birth to the other two at this time, and this time it became four, and surrounded the two of them and spun rapidly.
"Senior Sister Ningyi, let's rush out!" Chu Zhichuan shouted, and then flew up, the Danhe Sword in his hand pointed to the sky, and Yue Ningyi also followed closely, and his body also flew up.
When they had already flown a certain height, suddenly, four purple petals rose from the ground, and then surrounded the two of them, and then quickly shrank towards the center.
Before the two of them could fly out of the encirclement of the petals, they had been wrapped in the four huge petals, forming a spherical shape!
A shout of "help" came into the ears of Lin Xu not far away, this was Yue Ningyi's voice, and he saw that Yue Ningyi and Chu Zhichuan had been wrapped in four petals.
Lin Xu quickly rushed towards them, his sword was like a swimming dragon, and the Zhenyuan Sword in his hand emitted a strong brilliance, breaking through the layers of petals, and flying straight towards the spherical petals!
I saw him fly to the sky above the spherical petals, and a shining Zhenyuan sword flew up and spun in front of his chest, and then Lin Xu crossed his legs, stopped in mid-air, put his hands together in front of his chest, and then made a move to summon a spirit rune.
Suddenly, the golden light around him appeared, and several yellow spirit runes swirled around him, but when he saw him draw the rune with one hand, he attacked the spherical petals under him, and several spirit runes immediately flew down!
When those spirit runes approached the spherical petals, they were all pasted, and then surrounded by a layer of golden light, and then Lin Xu held the long sword from high in the air and shot straight down, piercing the spherical petals in an instant, and exploded in an instant.
Yue Ningyi and Chu Zhichuan had already been saved at this time, and they struggled to get up and fly, out of the attack range of the Purple Spirit Flower!
Looking at the few purple spirit flowers on the ground, they had been destroyed, and now only the huge purple spirit flower was still attacking the other people.
One after another vines attacked quickly, Ye Lanjing continuously waved the Hanxi Sword and slashed downward, her body fluttered lightly, flying into the air, facing the continuous flying vines, she cast her eyes on the source of the vine launch, the purple spirit flower!
I saw her body flying up in the air, and the long sword in her hand flew towards the purple spirit flower, and at this time, several petals appeared in the sky, and they were heading towards Ye Lanjing to intercept it!
Those petals began to surround her, and they were closing towards the center, Ye Lanjing could stand firmly in the air, her hands crossed in front of her chest, the Hanxi Sword was under the control of her hands, the aqua blue light rose sharply, and a strong pillar of sword qi broke through the petals, the sword qi flew away, and the purple petals in the sky fell into pieces, as if it had fallen a purple rain and snow!
Ye Lanjing was flying in the sky, accompanied by countless petals that flew down, her whole person was very dazzling, like a fairy of the Nine Heavens.
Look at He Dahong again, he soared into the air at this moment, approached the purple spirit flower, held the Que Lin knife with both hands and slashed it hard, a huge knife shadow flashed, the purple spirit flower was cut off in half, and a strong light burst out on the ground!
In another place, Duanmu Qi had also already flown over the Purple Spirit Flower, only to see that she was surrounded by six colorful qi swords, gradually becoming bigger and bigger. She immediately urged the qi sword, and the six colored qi swords flew down sharply, like a meteor catching the moon, hitting the purple spirit flower, and a rumbling sound sounded, and the entire purple spirit flower had turned into fragments and dissipated to the ground!
After a fierce battle, at this time, everyone's long swords were already in their sheaths, and they walked to one place, standing quietly, looking up at the rain of flowers that were still flying in the sky.
A long time has passed, and the color in front of me has changed from the fierce fight just now to a calm wind and waves, and the fragmented petals scattered all over the place seem to quietly disperse with an endless sadness, as if telling a wordless longing and reluctance.
Gradually, all the tiny petals turned into purple smoke, and the wisps flew into the sky, and finally disappeared from everyone's sight......
