After a brief introduction, Yi Jiaoxiang and Ye Chengyun learned that these two Donghao sect disciples were going down the mountain for the first time, and the senior brother's name was Liang Yi, and the junior brother Zhang Qingfeng.

They are the outer disciples of the Donghao Sect, and like Yi Jiaoxiang, they only have the cultivation of the middle stage of the first glimpse realm.

The outer disciples of the Great Gate Sect are generally in the first glimpse realm and the fusion realm, and only after stepping into the Divine Realm can they have the opportunity to be promoted to the inner disciples.

Of course, there are exceptions. A disciple with extremely outstanding talents, even if his cultivation is very low, may be promoted to an inner disciple or even a true disciple.

Liang Yi and Zhang Qingfeng went down the mountain this time to practice, they lacked experience and shallow knowledge, and because they were disciples of the Donghao faction and were extremely conceited, they made such an oolong.

On weekdays, they practice a lot, and they don't deal with monsters, but those are ordinary situations, and this time they encountered a special event, which they didn't expect.

Seeing that Liang Yi and Zhang Qingfeng were willing to listen to his explanation, the village chief hurriedly explained the reason for the incident.

He sighed and said, "That happened a few days ago." To the west of our village, a few miles away there is a lake, and in the middle of the lake is an isolated island.

On that day, there was a sudden vision in the sky, black clouds overwhelmed the city, lightning and thunder, and a dazzling light lit up in the direction of the lake, which many villagers saw with their own eyes.

"Everyone was surprised, and they didn't know what was going on. If you want to blame Ah Niu, this child is very curious, and when he saw this scene, he went to the lake with a few children in the village to check.

"I didn't expect them to be gone for three days, and it wasn't until this morning that Ah Niu came back alone, and there is no news from the other children. ”

Hearing this, Liang Yi and Zhang Qingfeng's faces suddenly became serious, and their palms were covered with cold sweat. It turns out that they really got it wrong, and I'm afraid this matter is very tricky.

They couldn't help but look at Ah Niu again, sixteen or seventeen-year-old Ah Niu looked dull at the moment, his eyes were dull, and his face was pale and bloodless.

Seeing the gazes of the two Donghao sect disciples, Ah Niu was obviously startled and hid behind the village chief in a panic.

Yi Jiaoxiang asked the village chief: "Did Ah Niu look like this before, he seemed to be very afraid of people?"

The village chief shook his head: "Shaoxia doesn't know, Ah Niu used to be a very cheerful child, and since he got home this morning, he has become like this, no wonder ......"

He wanted to say, no wonder Liang Yi and Zhang Qingfeng thought that Ah Niu was a monster, but they didn't dare to say it after all.

Yi Jiao groaned, "Although Ah Niu is not a monster, he does have a problem...... as he spoke, he looked at Liang Yi and Zhang Qingfeng, "The two brothers must have seen it, right?"

Liang Yi nodded: "He is contaminated with demonic energy, and he is not contaminated with ordinary demonic energy, if this continues, he will become a monster if he is not a demon." ”

The village chief was shocked and said in a trembling voice: "How can it be...... How could it be...... How's that okay?"

Ye Chengyun, who had been watching the play quietly, sneezed at this time and said, "It's not a big deal, isn't it just contaminated with demonic energy, wouldn't it be good to get rid of the demonic energy?"

Yi Jiao said in a deep voice, "Second Senior Brother, don't say it too lightly, this matter is not as simple as you imagined. ”

"That's right. Liang Yi followed, "Ah Niu's demonic aura is very complicated, and we can't identify its origin at all. rashly taking action to force out the demonic qi is only afraid of harm and no benefit to Ah Niu. ”

Zhang Qingfeng said to Liang Yi: "Senior brother, if you want to save Ah Niu, you have to figure out the source of the demonic energy, we might as well go to the lake to check it out." ”

Liang Yizheng had this intention, so he asked the village chief: "Have you people in the village ever gone to check what the situation is on the other side of the lake?"

The village chief froze and replied, "No one has dared to go to the lake easily since the vision, but someone who has taken a closer look at the lake not far from it has found a very surprising scene. ”

Liang Yi hurriedly asked, "What a surprising scene?"

The village chief said, "There are many huge vines that have sprung up out of nowhere and lifted the small islands in the lake into the sky, and they are still in this state. ”

Liang Yi thought for a moment, then stepped forward and carefully checked Ah Niu's physical condition. Ah Niu dodged at first, but under the supervision of the village chief, he finally cooperated.

"Looks like we're going to have to go to the lake. After the inspection, Liang Yi said with a strange expression.

Zhang Qingfeng understood, and said with a straight face: "Senior brother, this harmful demon, I'm afraid there is some origin. ”

Liang Yi nodded, and turned to Yi Jiaoxiang and Ye Chengyun: "What are the plans of the two of you?"

Ye Chengyun shrugged his shoulders and remained silent, just waiting for Yi Jiao to speak. Personally, he would never want to meddle in such a boring matter, but Yi Jiao was so enthusiastic that he could do anything.

Yi Jiaoxiang said: "Since we have bumped into such a thing, how can we turn a blind eye, let's go to the lake together, and if we encounter that harmful demon, we can kill it together." ”

Whether the demon kills or not, the village chief doesn't care very much, what he cares about is his son, and begged: "A few young heroes must save Ah Niu, please, only you can save him." ”

Ye Chengyun responded in a lazy tone: "Old village chief, let's go find that demon, if we find it, there will be a way to save your son." ”

The village chief was so grateful that he even knelt down and kowtowed.

Having made up their minds, the group set off for the lake to the west of the village. As they walked out of the compound, a young man in his twenties caught up with him and hurriedly stopped them.

"My name is Cao Wen, and I am from this village. The young man said, "I heard that a few young heroes are going to the lake to subdue demons, I often fish in the lake, and I am very familiar with the environment there, so why don't you let me show you the way." ”

Yi Jiao saw that Cao Wen was just an ordinary mortal, so he said: "We understand your kindness, now that the lake is very abnormal, there are monsters making trouble, you go with us, I am afraid it will be very dangerous." ”

Cao Wendao: "Don't worry, I can protect myself, and a few young heroes will take me with them no matter what, because ...... Because my nephew had gone to the lake with Niu a few days ago.

"Now that Ah Niu has returned, my nephew is still nowhere to be seen, and I am very worried about him, and the family is very anxious. Therefore, I have to go and see for myself, and I hope that a few young heroes can be fulfilled. ”

Yi Jiaoxiang was still a little hesitant, looking at Liang Yi and Zhang Qingfeng, and the two brothers were also hesitant.

Cao Wen continued: "I have discussed with the villagers, and I will be the representative of the village to assist several young heroes in eliminating demons. This was originally a matter for our village, and we could not stay out of it.

"Although I don't know any spells, I am strong and have some martial arts, so I won't cause trouble for a few young heroes. ”

Ye Chengyun was a little impatient, and said to everyone: "Since he is going, take it with him, there is a person who knows the way, I don't know how convenient it is, why push it around." ”

Yi Jiao secretly glanced at Ye Chengyun, Ye Chengyun saw it, he didn't care at all, he thought to himself: It's also a person who doesn't have much cultivation, you can take Shangguan Ying and one more villager, why not?

What's more, this villager is more useful than Shangguan Ying.

Ye Chengyun had already opened his mouth to agree, and the others didn't want to say anything more, so they let Cao Wen follow.

With Cao Wen leading the way, it didn't take long for them to come to the lake to the west of the village.

This is a large lake, with a small island in the middle of which is almost a mile in circumference. Today, the island was held up by countless huge vines, and from a distance, it looked like a lamp.

The vines that hold up the island are surprisingly large and cannot grow normally. Around the large vines, there are dense small vines, which are very spectacular at a glance.

Approaching the lake, Cao Wen pulled a small fishing boat and said to Ye Chengyun and the others: "This is the boat I usually use for fishing, and it can take us to the islands in the lake." ”

Ye Chengyun was injured and inconvenient to fly, while Yi Jiaoxiang and Liang Yi and others couldn't fly for a long time, so there was no other way than to take a boat.

As they boarded the boat, they suddenly heard a wailing, and everyone looked up to see that it was a waterfowl flying over the lake, entangled in the vines.

After a few wails, the waterfowl stopped moving, apparently dead.

Ye Chengyun asked Cao Wen with a look of surprise: "Those vines in the lake will take the initiative to attack the living creatures that are close to it?"

Cao Wen replied, "That's right, we have already discovered that those vines are alive, and if you get close to them, they will suffer. However, if you approach it from the water, it will not react much. ”

Having said that, Ye Chengyun was still not at ease, and he was always vigilant during Cao Wen's rowing to the middle of the lake.

The fishing boat finally came to the bottom of the huge vines, which were sticking out of the lake, and no one knew what was going on underwater.

"I'm afraid it's a vine demon. Liang Yi groaned.

Ye Chengyun naturally knew what the so-called vine demon was, it was nothing more than a vine that had been cultivated into a refined vine.

Although he knew, he had never seen it with his own eyes, and seeing the hundreds of vines in front of him, he couldn't help but secretly estimate in his heart, wondering how many ways this vine demon had.

Everything can be cultivated into a demon, and it stands to reason that even if a vine becomes a demon, it is only a small demon, and it is not enough to worry about it. But the person in front of him can hold up a small island to the sky, and it is really not to be underestimated.

Cao Wen leaned the fishing boat against a small vine, tied it, and said to everyone: "You should be able to climb up from here, everyone be careful, I heard that there were outsiders who came here to watch the excitement yesterday, but they didn't come back." ”

Liang Yi was the first to climb the vines, which were as thick as the mouth of a well, like a winding ladder, spiraling upward. There is nothing wrong with walking on it alone, but you have to be careful when you go to a high place, because if you fall, you will fall into the lake, and you will definitely not be able to bear it.

Crawling up the vines, halfway through, Shangguan Ying suddenly exclaimed "ah", Yi Jiao was quick to turn around and support her, so that she would not fall.

Shangguan Ying finally stood firm, but she was still shocked. She raised her hand, pointed to a spot on the left, and said in a trembling voice, "Look...... Look there!"
