Chapter 35: Knife Back Mountain IV
The open space in the center of the six giant trees was a mess at this time, and the vines the thickness of the small arms were stirring around on the ground, and when the spikes on the top of the twisting and wriggling pierced out, the sound of breaking the air was incessant, and the rotten dead leaves on the ground flew everywhere, and they were in a mess.

The three of them, Cheng Fuhai and Jiang Shun were entangled with the big-faced giant monster back and forth, the monster's huge thorny body hung down from the treetops above, and the whole body was extremely flexible, with great force between the up, down, left and right, and back and forth, and every dive smashed the ground into a deep pit. But where are the three of them in the Central Plains waiting for idle people? The monster's body is flexible, the three of them are more flexible than the monster, the three of them are whirling around the monster with the momentum of horns, and the strength of the body swinging around is not weaker than the momentum of the giant monster diving.
At this time, I split a swimming vine in half, and a three-eyed angry voice sounded in my ears: "Mr. Su, what kind of monster is this, how can the hell not kill it?"
My brother and I were fighting separately, and we were not far from each other, and more and more vines spiraled down from the treetops above, and we gradually came closer to each other. Some of the vines spun in the air, some wrapped around the giant trees to sneak attack, but more often they wandered on the ground.
Su Qingyao shouted: "I don't know what kind of monster this is, I have never encountered this monster when I came to the Death Swamp a few times before, but I am afraid that it is a monster born from the Death Swamp." ”
He was a little worried, and he only held a short waist knife in his hand, but with the skill in his hands, it was not difficult to deal with these vines.
Can monsters be born in the swamp of death?
I was thinking about it, when suddenly, I saw that a dozen or so of the vines in front of us no longer stabbed at us, but twisted together in the middle, and in just one breath they twisted into a large rattan the thickness of a water tank.
This large rattan is no different from those thin vines, more than a dozen of them are twisted together as one, and even the thorns on the top fit without gaps. Is that okay? I was surprised.
At this moment, this slightly thick vine didn't leave us any respite at all, and the half-zhang long spur suddenly opened up in the low air, biting Su Qingyao like lightning.
Su Qingyao reacted quickly, and the waist knife in his hand was held in front of his chest, but the person quickly jumped backwards and dodged. Who knows, he jumped back like this, his face suddenly froze, but a thin vine pierced out of his shoulder, and others were castrated by this vine, and the volley was picked up by that vine.
I couldn't help but exclaim, and the brother of Eighteen Knife also screamed. I saw that the vine was picking up Su Qingyao, and the prism on his head was turned around and was about to penetrate into Su Qingyao's body again, Su Qingyao's face was a little pale, and he grabbed the prism in his hand with one hand.
Not good!
Although the vine was caught in Su Qingyao's hand and could not penetrate his body for the time being, the thick vine from before was followed by Su Qingyao and bit Su Qingyao again. This time, Su Qingyao was no longer able to dodge.
I screamed angrily, and jumped towards the thick vine with the shadow chasing sword, which was now heading straight for Su Qingyao, ignoring me at all. I lifted the internal force in my body, and the Shadow Chaser sword slashed at its neck.
The Shadow Chasing Sword swung down, and a sword qi rushed out from the tip of the Shadow Chasing Sword, and this sword qi was splitting into its thick vine body, splitting its vine body into a big opening, and red blood immediately sprayed all over me.
Hit by my sword qi, its momentum slowed down, and it was going with its head held high, but at this time, the entire huge prism slid forward against the ground, and the thick rotten leaves on the ground were washed away by it, revealing the muddy silt under the rotten leaves.
On the other side, Han Xiao and Sanyan had already cut off the vines on Su Qingyao's body, and the two of them were helping Su Qingyao to retreat, watching Su Qingyao being injured, I was inexplicably a little annoyed in my heart, and I raised the shadow chasing sword to make up for its wound.
The wound on its vine was cut open by my sword, and I only had to slash it at the top of it with one more sword. Clinker, I swung my sword but it split into the air, it seemed to know, the thick vine body twisted, and it was able to dodge my sword qi.
Almost as soon as my shadow chasing sword fell, a strong wind suddenly came from the back of my neck, and I tensed up, leaned forward and turned in a circle, and the backhand that I didn't look at was a sword.
I heard a "poof" sound in my ears again, and the Shadow Chaser Sword was cutting off a vine that was attacking from behind me, and my body was spinning around, and I only felt a heart-piercing pain from my left arm. Looking over, the prismatic thorn that had broken off from the tip of the vine was nailing to my shirt, nailing my flesh into a bloody hole.
At this moment, Han Xiao's shout sounded in his ears: "Brother Gu, be careful!"
I was startled, and as soon as I turned around, I saw that a thick vine had approached three feet in front of me, and its three edged thorns were densely packed with inverted teeth, and a fishy wind was blowing directly on me.
At this time, it was a matter of life and death, although it was almost split by me, but its speed was as fast as thunder, and the three open spikes also blocked my left and right retreats. At the critical moment, I suddenly lifted my internal force, and the shadow-chasing sword in my right hand stabbed upward, stabbing into one of its prismles, and kicked my feet to both sides, trying to step on its other two prismles.
Once I can step on its spikes with both feet, I am confident that I can keep it close with my own strength, and with the Shadow Chaser Sword in my hand, I can cut its spikes off by slowing it down.
I thought so, but when I was about to kick with my feet apart, I kicked empty. Its three prismles didn't close, but instead turned its head and picked me up, along with the shadow chasing sword.
It picked me up like this, afraid that it wanted to wear me densely with other vines, and turned my head to look, and sure enough, there were already four or five vines stabbing at me in the air behind me.
At this time, I was already riding a tiger, and if I let go of my hand now, I would be unarmed when I fell into the air, and I would never be able to avoid the thrusts of these vines. But if you don't let go and be penetrated by the vines behind you, I'm afraid that you will become the belly of this thick vine.
Suddenly, two domineering sounds of breaking the sky came from under me, and I could only hear the "poof" sound of the vines continuously disconnecting in my ears.
When I turned my head to look, I saw that the vines that were stabbing at me behind me had all been sliced open, and the top of the thick vine that had lifted me in the air had also been sliced open.
It was Han Xiao who relieved me of the siege.
I was overjoyed, and as the man dragged three thick spines down, he kept steady, and as soon as his feet touched the ground, I rolled to one side twice, unloading the fall.
There was a lot of bright red blood flowing from the thick vine's body, its spikes had been sliced, and the lower half of its body was almost like a fountain, gushing blood.
Although I already knew that there was bright red blood flowing from the body of this vine, I was still terrified to see so much blood gushing out. Its vitality is very tenacious, and if you cut off one vine thorn, another one will grow.
At this moment, Su Qingyao shouted: "It's useless to burn these rattans, these rattans are all controlled by that monster, kill that monster, and these rattans will die." Go quickly!"
The three eyes beside him answered, holding a porcelain vase in his hand, and turned around and ran towards Cheng Fuhai and Ba Zhongyuan. I have seen the porcelain vase he is holding in his hand, it is the porcelain vase that Su Qingyao pretended to be a rotting corpse.
My mind lit up. This forest is filled with a little miasma, and there can be no open fire here, we naturally know these simple truths, so we have not lit a torch in the dark at night. When I was entangled with these vines, I had the idea of burning them with fire, but I quickly denied them, and I was afraid that the whole forest would burn up, and whether these vines could be burned to death was another matter, and I even lifted a stone and shot myself in the foot.
But it's different with carrion. The rotting corpse is a yin fire, which only corrodes when it touches flesh and blood, and the fire that comes out is not a real flame, and there is no temperature at all, and the fire that comes out is cold, not enough to ignite the miasma here.
I have been in contact with Su Qingyao for a long time, and I also have some understanding of these pill powders. There are also grades of pill powder, which are divided into five grades, one is the best, and five is the lowest. There are also upper, middle and lower grades in the grades, the same kind of pill is precious and inferior in the materials, the refined pill will appear in different grades to a large extent, the pill refined from the same material because of the refining techniques, equipment, season, weather changes, etc., there will be a big difference in refining, there is a grade and grade, and the powder is the same. The higher the flame is, the higher the grade of the rotting corpse, and the lower the grade of the rotting corpse is dark green or dark green.
When they were in Dongguan Town that day, the green fireworks emitted by the high boss and the others using the rotting corpse to corrupt the female corpse were yin green, that is, the grade of the rotting corpse was inferior. When he was in Chenzhou City, the one he used to deal with the female worm was also the carrion corpse, but the flame ignited by the carrion corpse he used was pure green, and the grade was high-level. I don't know much about the classification of pill powder grades in more detail, I just take these things as a deaf ear, I didn't pay much attention to Su Qingyao when I talked to me, but I know that refining pill powder is a very difficult thing, and the person who makes alchemy must be well-informed and know all kinds of herbs in the world.
In any case, there was blood flowing from these vines, and at this time, it was the best choice to disperse the rotting corpses.
I thought of this in an instant, and the thick vine in front of me was about to grow a new thorn, and I didn't dare to think about it anymore, so I swung out the shadow chasing sword and made up two more swords on its vine, and cut it again. Before its spikes grow, I'll stop it.
When I split a piece of it for the second time, suddenly, a terrible scream came from the open area not far away.
At this time, the monster's entire huge face was covered with bloodstains, one face was full of palm prints and blood holes, and a mouthful of fangs was also interrupted a lot by Nakahara and Cheng Fuhai. The thorns on its neck and its lower body burst into green flames at this moment.
It suddenly occurred to me that the rotting corpse on its body only made a sizzling sound when it was scattered, and there was no abnormal phenomenon in the miasma around it. The carrion is really useful!
The monster couldn't take care of us anymore, and its long body shrank rapidly towards the treetops above us, and the thin vines around us quickly pulled back, swirling towards the top of the tree.
The venue, which was still chaotic, died down almost instantly.
A group of us hurriedly ran behind Ba Zhongyuan and Cheng Fuhai, looked up, and saw that the branches and leaves of the treetops above were shaking violently, accompanied by bursts of screams. The monster scurried behind the wide leaves, and we couldn't see it, but its cry was so terrible that the hairs on my back stood on end.
At this time, Cheng Fuhai suddenly said: "Strike the door master, what kind of monster is this, why has the old man never seen it before?"
"The deity is also strange, and there are no beasts and insects recorded in the classics of our sect that look like this." ”
Cheng Fuhai retracted his gaze, looked around again, and said, "I don't know if you notice that this place seems to be different from ten years ago?"
He stopped looking at the branches on the top, looked around and said, "You mean the miasma here?"
Cheng Fuhai said: "Not bad. Twenty years ago, the miasma here was blown away by the wind and sand, but the miasma left in the forest was not knee-like, ten years ago it was not a leg, but now it is not even a knee-to-ankle, and it seems that the miasma of the death swamp is dissipating little by little. ”
Probably because the wind and sand outside the forest are blowing stronger and stronger, that's why the miasma here is getting thinner and thinner, right? I don't think it's funny, we are now encountering such monsters, and the two of them are talking about the miasma at this time. As if knowing my thoughts, Han Xiao continued: "Owner, this situation may be caused by the wind and sand outside, and the wind and sand outside are a little more powerful than the last time we came here. ”
At this time, Ba Zhongyuan shook his head and said, "It's not caused by the wind and sand, no matter how strong the wind and sand outside are, it can't blow here." ”
When he said this, he saw that the branches and leaves above our heads suddenly parted to the sides, and a semicircular thing fell from behind the fat leaves, and landed on the rotten leaves in front of us with a "bang".
The hemispherical thing was pink all over, the size of a horse, with furrows of blood flowing from the raised side, and a black hole the size of a millstone in the middle of the flat side, with several vines hanging from the edge of the hole, and a few thorns sticking to it. In the middle of the hole, green fireworks were burning at this time. It looks like the whole hemispherical thing is like a human brain.
Ma Qianli rushed over with an arrow, flicked the scimitar in his hand into the black hole, turned around and said, "Door master, it is the hiding place of that monster, which has been burned to ashes at this time." ”
When he said this, I was amazed. It's just that the monster's face is half the size of a house, and this semicircular thing is only the size of a horse, so can the monster get into it?
Ba Zhongyuan looked at this strange thing and thought for a moment, looked at Cheng Fuhai and said: "Yang is born by nature, yin is born on the earth, the pure one spreads and nourishes all things, and the turbidity and ups and downs are silent and pollutes all spirits." When I came, I deduced a hexagram that there was a great omen of evil on this trip, and I thought that most of it was related to the miasma settlement here. ”
I couldn't help but be stunned, divination? Cheng Fuhai frowned and said, "The words of the master of the sect, do you mean that the reason why such a monster appears here is related to the miasma in the forest?"
Ba Zhongyuan nodded and said: "All things have spirits, but if there is vitality, they will thrive, and this monster can inhabit this forest, most likely because the miasma here is thin to grow here." ”
