Chapter 226: Fruit Petals

In the dark shadows, the sound of thin breathing.

There seems to be a faint sound of heartbeat.

Her body quieted down, standing in front of him no longer trembling, her soft lips pressed against his palm, and a strange feeling of tenderness crept in. In the shadows, the terrifying roaring of the beasts in front of him seemed to suddenly become a lot more distant.

A faint fragrance passed from her, Shen Shi lost his mind for a moment, and then came to his senses, suppressed his voice to the lowest, and whispered in her ear:

"Are you feeling better?"

Zhong Qingzhu didn't speak, but nodded slightly. Shen Shi immediately found that his hand was still covering her mouth, and quickly let go, but for some reason, he suddenly felt that this action was a little familiar, when Ling Chunni met those fierce beast alliance monks who were tracking her in Liuyun City, he dragged her aside in order to save her, it seemed that he was also doing the same.

In his mind, Ling Chunni's coquettish and smiling face flashed, and after Shen Shi was silent for a moment, he took a step back slightly, a few points away from Zhong Qingzhu's body.

Zhong Qingzhu turned around and looked at Shen Shi, in the dark, the man's face seemed a little hazy and blurred in the shadows, whether it was the change in expression or gaze at the moment, it was a little unreal, but the breath of the body and the solid embrace not long ago, as if the gentle leaning was still in the heart.

She lowered her head slightly, and suddenly felt that there was a burst of unexplained burning on her cheeks, and she was confused in her heart, and suddenly there was a little joy, but after a while, she still cleaned up her mood, hid all her thoughts, and said softly:

"I'm fine...... Thank you very much. ”

"Hmm. ”

In the shadows ahead, Shen Shi responded in a low voice, but there were no more words, which made Zhong Qingzhu feel a little disappointed, but she quickly put this loss aside and said, "Shi, there are so many high-level demon beasts here, we will definitely not be able to defeat them, what should we do?"

Shen Shi glanced at the light in the middle of the cave, those swords and swords roared and confronted each other, looking at the many high-level demon beasts that seemed to be about to break out, he was also dumbfounded for a while, but after all, he had seen many life and death grinds over the years, and he still maintained a little sanity and calmness at the moment, and after a moment of silence, he pulled Zhong Qingzhu back a few steps and pasted the stone wall of the cave behind him, trying to get as far away as possible from those demon beasts.

"Let's set up an 'Empty Illusion Array' here first. Shen Shi said softly, "These high-level demon beasts don't seem to have noticed us for the time being, but there are so many demon beasts, among them there may not be any xenomorphs with keen senses, let's use the Empty Illusion Array to hide their tracks and see the situation." ”

Zhong Qingzhu nodded, looking unopposed. Immediately, she first glanced at the demon beasts in the distance, and after confirming that under the extremely tense confrontation over there, none of the demon beasts noticed the movement next to the cave, and then she reached out from the Ruyi bag on her waist and began to take things out.

At the edge of the cave, it was already difficult for the light to shine, and it was almost pitch black, so even if Shen Shi stood very close to Zhong Qingzhu, she didn't see clearly what she was taking out of her hand at the moment, but it should be all kinds of magic array disks and other things needed to set up the array.

After taking out these magic objects, Zhong Qingzhu took a deep breath in the dark, and then her arms began to vibrate, and unknown artifacts flew out of her hands silently, falling, far and near, around the two of them, forming an irregular circle.

After throwing out eleven or twelve utensils, Zhong Qingzhu paused slightly, then took a step back, and Shen Shi clinged to the somewhat cold stone wall, and in her hand, a bright light like a candle flame flashed in this shadow, and then disappeared.

Everything, it seems, has not changed.

The darkness here is still there, the shadows are dim, and it looks even a little more gloomy than just now, but the faintly visible figures of the two people suddenly disappeared completely at this time, as if there was no trace left.

It was as if the darkness in the depths of this shadow had suddenly and silently thickened a little, and beyond that, there was nothing.

In the roar, under that bright pillar of light, the iron-winged black scorpion surrounded by many high-level demon beasts roared fiercely and angrily, and suddenly realized it, and suddenly turned back to look in a certain direction in this cave.

It's just that the pressure on the many powerful demon beasts around it in front of it seems to be really great, so after a while, the iron-winged black scorpion removed its strange compound gaze, returned to the depths of the light, and roared and threatened the front again.

※※※

Once the Void Illusion Array was formed, Shen Shi suddenly felt that there was a spiritual power not far from his side, and he had the illusion of separating himself from the surrounding darkness. But at a glance, the surrounding darkness is still as one, and there is no change in the slightest.

Xiao Hei at his feet seemed to be a little uneasy, and hummed a few times in a low voice, Shen Shi hurriedly calmed it, but at this time Zhong Qingzhu said beside him: "The formation has been completed, now as long as the demon beasts over there are not too close, or we make too much movement here, plus in this dark shadow, the tracks are more secretive, it should not be able to find us." ”

Shen Shi breathed a sigh of relief, looked around in a blink of an eye, felt the looming spiritual power formation, smiled, and said, "The way of this formation is really mysterious. ”

Zhong Qingzhu glanced at him in the dark, and said: "I'm just getting a glimpse of the doorway, the formation is difficult, and there will be many big formations in the future. ”

Shen Shi said: "You are so smart and talented, you will definitely have extraordinary achievements in the future." ”

Zhong Qingzhu was silent, his eyes were clear and clear, looking at his face that was a little blurred because of the darkness. But at this moment, suddenly on the side of the beasts in the distance, suddenly in a burst of roaring and confrontation with each other, there was a strange voice that was somewhat out of place with the surrounding atmosphere.

"Smack!"

It was a crisp and loud sound, as if something had suddenly cracked.

All the demon beasts, including Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu hidden in the dark shadows at the edge of the cave, all turned their heads to look at them in an instant at this moment.

The sound came from the brightest part of the light.

Under that pillar of light, the iron-winged black scorpion was tightly guarding the heavenly vermilion fruit.

On the stem of the emerald leaf, the only red fruit that bore fruit at the top was wrapped in five purple petal-like things on the lower flesh of the fruit, and at this moment, it was one of the petals that suddenly loosened, burst, and spread outward.

With the sudden splitting of this purple petal, an extremely strong aroma instantly diffused out, wafting in every corner of this cave, even if Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu were standing so far away from the edge of the cave at the moment, they could clearly smell the strange fragrance, and after the fragrance entered the nose, it was a burst of refreshment, and the spirit was lifted.

They were startled and glanced at each other, and in the distance in the center of the cave, the iron-winged black scorpion was obviously also shocked, but the biggest reaction was still the circle of high-level demon beasts surrounding the bright pillar of light.

"Roaring ......"

In an instant, nearly twenty or so high-level demon beasts around here seemed to have been greatly stimulated, and they roared out almost in unison, and that momentum was like an overwhelming sea, and like a sea of blood, sweeping inside and outside this cave, so powerful that Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu in the distance were affected, and they subconsciously felt a tightness in their chests.

With this burst of roars, the already tense atmosphere in the cave suddenly tensed, and almost from all directions, fierce and strong high-level demon beasts began to move towards the pillar of light, approaching them.

With the bright pillars of light falling from the sky in the cave, those figures that had been hovering around them with some blurred light and shadow were now gradually becoming clearer. Shen Shi looked at it from a distance, his face became more and more ugly, the demon beasts that appeared over there were really similar to what he expected before, almost all of them were fourth-order demon beasts of Qingyishui, dark wind wolf, Xuanjia beast, broken yuan lazy and even rarer Qinglei Lion King, all of them were high-level demon beasts with strong combat power, and there were even several monster beasts with strange shapes that even Shen Shi didn't recognize.

Looking at those many high-level demon beasts roaring from afar, even after a long distance, Shen Shi couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes, and a chill arose behind him. In the face of such a formation, let alone a cultivator of the Ning Yuan Realm like him, I am afraid that even the masters of the divine artistic conception will flee in the wilderness when they come, maybe only the great true people of the Yuan Dan Realm Dao Law will have the power to fight.

There was still some tingling on his scalp from a distance, and the iron-winged black scorpion that bore the brunt of the attack and was lying in the pillar of light guarding the Heavenly Mist Zhuguo, the pressure he was under at this time was even more incomprehensible.

Looking at the roars around one after another, many demon beasts seemed to finally be unable to bear it anymore, and began to slowly advance from all directions, the iron-winged black scorpion seemed to have fallen into a rage, and a scream like a terrible cry suddenly sounded, as if it intended to shock the beasts again.

However, under the temptation of the strange fragrance emanating from the Heavenly Mist Zhu Guo, the demon beasts who were originally intimidated by the might of the iron-winged black scorpion seemed to be stimulated by the ferocity in the depths of their blood, and they did not retreat as before, but still kept trying to approach, looking a little impatient.

A moment later, a dark wind wolf located behind the side of the iron-winged black scorpion, with gray fur as hard as steel, and a body as high as a foot, seemed to finally can't hold back the desire in his heart, roared angrily, and was the first to rise into the air and pounce on the iron-winged black scorpion.

There was a commotion around the beasts, and the momentum seemed to be ignited in an instant, like a flame being poured into a barrel of boiling oil, and in an instant, roars erupted, and a chaotic battle was about to break out. Suddenly, a sharp and piercing scream pierced all the space, and the huge iron-winged black scorpion with a huge body turned around violently, and the huge scorpion tail that had been curled up and attached to the back of the body suddenly straightened, stabbing straight out of the air like lightning.

The roar of the Dark Wind Wolf instantly turned into a wail, full of despair, and the body seemed to want to turn in mid-air, but the scorpion tail was like a ghost chasing the soul, and the lightning and flint suddenly stabbed, ignoring the Dark Wind Wolf's copper skin and iron bones as if it were nothing, only to hear a muffled bang, and the huge beast body was pierced by the scorpion tail.

The terrifying, high-pitched wails of despair instantly resounded throughout the cave, making the surrounding excited beasts suddenly stop.

With a "snap", the scorpion tail slowly retracted.

The Dark Wind Wolf that had been pierced through its body fell heavily to the ground and kept convulsing, and at the same time, the wounds of this fourth-order demon beast began to rapidly turn black and rot, and pools of yellowed blood flowed out of the flesh and blood, and it didn't take long for the wolf's head to hang down, and it was actually dead.

At this moment, the iron-winged black scorpion looked as if it was like a god in this cave, terrifying and incomparably powerful, its cold compound eyes coldly swept over the surrounding demon beasts, and a piercing scream came out of its mouth. It's just that for some reason, Shen Shi in the distance suddenly had a strange feeling, it seemed that on the body of this most powerful fifth-order demon beast, its body faintly looked a little weaker than just now.
