Chapter 211: Vampire Soil

The Black Crow Ridge, which stretches for thousands of miles, is an extremely large mountain range, and there are many black stones on it, and I don't know what it contains, but there is a faint scorching smell wafting in the air of this area, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable. Judging from the location, Black Crow Ridge is about 400 miles away from Lingxiao City, which happens to be in a very delicate position.

If we were to judge the danger of the surrounding realms within the Lingxiao Sect over the years, generally speaking, the farther away from Lingxiao City, the stronger the demon beasts, the more weird the alien races, and the danger would increase exponentially. And with the ability standard of the disciples of the Ning Yuan Realm, the area around Lingxiao City to five hundred miles is basically an upper limit.

Crossing this invisible boundary would be very dangerous for the disciples of the Ning Yuan Realm, and it would be relatively safe to explore and sharpen the area within five hundred miles, after all, the territory around the Ling Xiao Sect had been swept by the powerful people in the sect many times. Of course, these are only relatively speaking, if you are unlucky, even if you only go to three hundred or four hundred miles, you will also encounter high-level demon beasts wandering over and die, and if you are a disciple who is surprisingly powerful, even if you occasionally step out of the land five hundred miles, there have been amazing examples of returning with a full load without danger.

The mountain range of Black Crow Ridge is said to be four hundred miles away from Lingxiao City, but in fact, this mountain range is very huge, with five hundred miles as the boundary, about two-thirds of the mountains are in this relatively "safe" range, but there are still one-third of the remaining mountains, but they have broken through the limit and extended to the periphery of the boundary of five hundred miles.

As a result, there were actually a lot more choices in front of these Ling Xiao Sect Ning Yuan Realm disciples who were about to participate in the trial, whether to honestly stay on the side of the relatively safe boundary to find spiritual materials, or to fight ruthlessly to find wealth outside the boundary that was bound to be richer but equally risky?

No one could give an answer right away, and even the Yuan Dan Realm Truths who presided over this trial didn't say much about it, but maybe the very dangerous area included in this trial had already explained a little. It's just that after all, the road still has to be walked by everyone, and no one can do it for them.

The Floating Immortal Boat quickly flew over the Black Crow Ridge, and then perhaps wanted to emulate the fact that almost all the people who entered the Wentian Secret Realm would randomly disperse to completely unfamiliar and unknown locations, Ling Xiao Sect did not let these disciples who participated in the trial disembark at the same place this time, but very patiently drove on the edge of the Black Crow Ridge Mountain at a steady speed and a height of several zhang.

Every once in a while, someone would arrange for a trial disciple to jump down, and for the monks of the Ning Yuan Realm, this height was not a problem at all, so that everyone's position was separated, and what greeted them was this black and unfamiliar otherworldly mountain.

When it was Shen Shi's turn, a lot of time had passed, and the number of Ning Yuan Realm disciples participating in the trial on the floating immortal boat had also been reduced by half, and among the people he knew, Sun You had already gone down first, but Zhong Qinglu and Zhong Qingzhu were still on the boat.

When he heard Sun Hong, who was standing at the bow of the boat, holding the list and reading his name, Shen Shilang said yes and walked out, and at the same time, he quickly felt a few lines of sight fall on him out of the corner of his eye. Apart from Qinglu and Qingzhu, who else will pay attention to me?

Shen Shi felt a little strange in his heart, but he didn't look back to take a closer look, but strode to the exit of the boat that jumped out. At the same time, Xiao Hei hummed softly in his mouth and trotted all the way after him.

Sun Hong, who was standing there, glanced at Shen Shi with an expressionless face, but then his gaze fell, and he glanced at the little black pig, but his brows were slightly furrowed.

Shen Shi was a little uncertain in his heart, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Senior, this black pig has always followed me, can I take it with me?"

Sun Hong seemed to hesitate for a while, thought for a while, and then frowned: "The rules don't say that you can't bring pets over, so you can bring them." But in the future, if you really get to the secret realm of Wentian, there are restrictions of the secret realm, and you, the black pig, may not be able to bring it into the secret realm, but you have to think about it. ”

Shen Shi's heart was relieved, he nodded hurriedly, bowed, and said, "Yes, thank you seniors for mentioning it, the disciple understands." ”

Sun Hong nodded and said, "You go." ”

Shen Shi called Xiao Hei, glanced down first, and saw that the speed of the floating fairy boat was gentle, and there was a dense forest not far from his feet.

※※※

With the sound of a rapid wind in his ears, a large area of green branches and leaves suddenly magnified in front of his eyes, and almost in the blink of an eye, Shen Shi fell into this jungle almost like a real stone.

There was a muffled sound of "bang", and the ground nearby seemed to shake, Shen Shi had already fallen to the ground, and his body took advantage of the momentum to roll forward twice, then unloaded the momentum, and then stood up.

He casually checked his body, and as expected, there was no damage, and the body of the Ning Yuan Realm cultivator had been hammered day after day by day, and it was already enough to withstand this kind of impact. And Xiao Hei beside him, the tenacity of the pigskin on that body was only above him, and he didn't look uncomfortable at all, but at this moment he was already jumping up energetically, sniffing everywhere in the vicinity of this forest, looking very curious.

Shen Shi raised his head, looked at the sky, and found that the floating immortal boat had continued to fly away in this moment, only to look at it and stay in the field of vision for a moment, and then disappeared in front of the dense woods.

Shen Shi froze, took a deep breath, and then began to look around.

At this moment, he was in a very dense forest, with old trees at the top and shrubs, vines and thorns at the low, which did not look much different from the ordinary forests he had seen before. However, there was a small clearing in the middle of the woods, and it was just when he jumped down and fell into the forest that the powerful momentum smashed open a small piece of turf ground. In that place, it seems that a little bit of a different color is revealed.

Shen Shi pondered for a moment, then walked over slowly, took a closer look at the ground where there were obvious traces of his fall, and then squatted down as if he had found something.

The surrounding trees and grass don't look strange, and the only thing that is a little different from the outside world may be the dirt under the grass. He gently parted the roots of the grass with his hands, plucked a little weed thorns, and then saw a patch of soil blackened in a deep purple.

This color is not good-looking, it gives people a very disgusting feeling, and at the same time, Shen Shi also clearly smelled an uncomfortable smell, that is, the breath wafting from these strangely colored soils, it is not obvious, but it does exist.

Shen Shi thought of the time when he saw the Black Crow Ridge from a distance on the floating immortal boat, the color of the dark mountain seemed to be very close to the purple-black color in front of him.

He reached out and gently pressed the black dirt, the tentacles were moderately soft and hard, and there was nothing particularly unusual, it seemed as if this was just an ordinary place with an unusual color of earth. However, for some reason, Shen Shi was unusually patient at this time, and instead of being like many of his fellow disciples, he immediately began to pursue various spiritual materials after entering the mountain, but instead squatted in place and pondered for a while, as if he was recalling something.

In the past ten years, the classic books and scrolls he had read flowed quickly in his mind like a small river, and his expression did not change much, after a while, he suddenly frowned, and after a while, he reached out to touch the Ruyi bag, took out a sharp dagger, turned over the bowl, only to hear the sound of "whoosh", and suddenly inserted it into the soil.

The dagger is very sharp, and the soil is not hard, so it is very smooth when entering the soil, and there are almost no obstacles, Shen Shi's expression remains unchanged, his wrist flips, and in a blink of an eye, he picks up a large piece of soil, revealing the scene under the soil layer.

A few sections of grass roots are still left in the excavated mud, and you can see that the color of the soil is a deep purple-black above the surface, and the color begins to ease as you go down the soil, and the purple-black is still the main body, but it slowly fades, and gradually adds a faint red.

The deeper you go into the soil, the more obvious the red color becomes, and when Shen Shi keeps digging to a depth of one foot, you can see that in the soil layer here, the red has become as thick as blood, and has even replaced purple and black as the main color of the soil.

Shen Shi quickly stopped his hand, stared at this strange soil carefully for a while, and then the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he whispered to himself: "Sure enough, it's 'blood-sucking soil'......"

※※※

He was silent for a moment, a little thoughtful in his eyes, and after a moment he nodded, as if he had made up his mind, and began to fill the pit with the excavated dirt.

When backfilling, his eyes inadvertently saw a few pieces of grass roots cut off by his dagger mixed with some clods of soil, and suddenly found that those weeds and thorns above the soil were no different from ordinary things, but the rhizomes below the soil layer were all black, and in some of the severed wounds, a little juice flowed out of the red color similar to human blood.

There was a slight pause in the movement of his hand.

After a few moments, he withdrew his gaze, quickened himself to fill all the dirt back into the pit, then stood up, and trampled his feet firmly on the soil a few more times, and it looked like an ordinary and unremarkable piece of land, and in a few days the weeds and thorns in the vicinity would soon cover the traces.

He turned around and walked forward, and at the same time greeted Xiao Hei, who was making a fuss on the side, and called him over.

"Let's go, little black. He looked ahead, his expression looked calm, but there seemed to be a little indescribable faint sharpness, and said,

"Let's go ahead and have a look. The sect actually arranged such a place this time, maybe ......" He smiled, as if talking to himself, and said, "Maybe this time, they are actually ruthless, will they tolerate the death of some people?"
