Chapter 722: Hunger
The snake body of Yishijun has bitten the flesh of countless humans and demons, and has rarely encountered resistance, and many targets have even been willingly sent to his mouth - if you get a sentence of "long-standing and noble" from Yishijun's mouth, it is much more effective than a bunch of genealogies and heirloom treasures combined.
There are also a few unlucky eggs who will be swallowed by Yi Shijun in one bite, and then he will regret that he didn't resist.
The snake-shaped Shijun bit down at Mu Xingqiu, whether it was a piece or the whole, he didn't care, he just wanted to show his strength, the thing he hated the most in his life was to see the arrogance of the weak, all the souls and demons had to act in a low-key manner in this world, how could a little Taoist priest who didn't even have a Neidan dare to speak wildly in front of him?
So he was merciless in this mouthful.
Even if Mu Xingqiu was really interested in his life experience and ancestors, he would never take the initiative to let Yi Shijun take a bite. He didn't have Neidan, and he couldn't cast a powerful illusion, but his body was not weak at all, he was still vigorous and sensitive, Yi Shijun had just turned into a snake shape, and his mouth hadn't opened yet, Mu Xingqiu had already jumped up violently, hugged the snake body with both hands, and turned to the back of the snake.
Yi Shijun is not an ordinary demon clan, he bites the air, immediately changes his form, his head changes to his tail, his tail changes to his head, and he bites it again from another direction.
Mu Xingqiu jumped up, dodging the attack while jumping above the snake's head.
This is a real hand-to-hand combat, a man and a snake are almost never separated, the snake shape is varied, humans are agile, and it is difficult to distinguish for a while.
But after all, the body is no match for demon magic, not to mention that the other party is still a powerful demon of the souls. After more than ten moves, the snake body finally wrapped the human in the middle, and Mu Xingqiu no longer had room to toss and turn.
The bloody mouth bit again. Mu Xingqiu couldn't avoid it, but he still didn't give up resisting, he also opened his mouth and yelled at the giant snake, even if he was really swallowed whole, he would bite into the snake's stomach.
Shekou stopped, fangs clinging to Mu Xingqiu's scalp. In the end, it was only a slight stroke, leaving a bloody mark, and then the snake's head changed into the form of an old man. The snake body is still wrapped around its target.
Yi Shijun raised his head, chirped his lips, tasted it for a while, and said, "You don't have a prominent ancestor. ”
"I don't live on my ancestors. Mu Xingqiu held his breath and didn't dare to exhale. Otherwise, the snake will get tighter and tighter. Without Nedan, he couldn't hold out for long.
"If I take a big bite, I might be able to find out your ancestors even earlier. ”
"That doesn't make sense. ”
Yi Shijun didn't argue, and even nodded, "It's really meaningless, you are one of the most inconspicuous little insects, struggling to survive." ”
"Is there anything more important than survival at this moment?"
Yi Shijun pondered for a while. Actually, he didn't think about anything, he just needed a little time to make his attitude more natural. When he felt that it was almost there, he let out a burst of laughter, let go of Mu Xingqiu, and returned to his human form to fly in mid-air, looking down at the humans on the ground.
"I'm going to create a new fantasy world. ”
"The area of the state is large enough that there is no need for kings and slaves. ”
"Ha, it's not up to you to decide what the illusion is like, Mu Xingqiu, you are now a mortal in the flesh, and you can't get out of the Divine Tree, so leave me here, but the first thing you have to do is not to practice, but to think carefully about what benefits you can use to convince me. ”
"The benefit? It's the biggest benefit to be able to leave the state alive. ”
"Suppose I can really find a way to extend ten years to one hundred years, and suppose you can really reach the eleventh layer of Serving the Sun and Illusion...... You're going to have to assume a little more good for me. You can't be ten years from now and you're the supreme and I'm the same as I am now. ”
"Time Delay is the most powerful spell. ”
"It's not enough, little bug, it's not enough. Since you have hope, let it be bigger, but don't be too selfish, the new hope must be related to me. ”
Yi Shijun disappeared, and the Dao fire outside the tree had cracked, and he didn't need the Taiyin Fire to enter and exit freely.
Mu Xingqiu was left alone, there was no wind around, no other creatures, the roots everywhere grew silently, and the pure silence even stretched into Mu Xingqiu's heart.
The Taoist priest would like this kind of environment, but Mu Xingqiu felt that it was a little too quiet, his mood was closely related to his strength, and without Neidan, he was weakening in all aspects.
Mu Xingqiu was a little hungry, but there was no food here except for the roots, he didn't want to eat this kind of thing, so he found a flat place, carefully smoothed the roots, sat down and thought, time is precious, and the sooner he starts to practice again, the better.
Even thinking was a little more difficult than usual, and it took Mu Xingqiu a little time to calm down the messy thoughts in his mind and enter the realm of thoughtlessness.
The aura of heaven and earth here seems to be different from the outside, this is Mu Xingqiu's last thought.
I don't know how long it took, he slowly opened his eyes, forgot where he was, looked at the roots everywhere, and thought it was an illusion, until he saw that his body was also covered with roots, and then he suddenly woke up.
"You almost died. Yi Shijun turned to Mu Xingqiu, and his tone was strange, neither condescending when facing the "little bug", nor equality or jealousy, "You forgot that you are already a mortal and need food and water." ”
Mu Xingqiu raised his right hand with great difficulty, and saw through a layer of roots that his arm was as thin as wood, he wanted to speak, but his throat was dry like a piece of red-hot coal, and when he was finally able to speak, his voice was so hoarse that he didn't even recognize himself.
"How long?"
Yi Shijun's eyes were full of scrutiny and speculation, as if he knew some secrets that Mu Xingqiu himself had not yet known, "Forty-nine days. ”
"Forty-nine days!" Mu Xingqiu was really taken aback, when he had Neidan in the past, he had never thought about it for so long, he didn't eat or drink for forty-nine days, even if he was a Starfall Daoist, he might not be able to stand it.
"It's exactly the time when the soul disappears completely. Yi Shijun laughed and changed to a mocking tone, "I also created a fantasy world here, forty-nine days is actually only seven days." And voila, even in a fantasy world. I can also only make one day seven days, not ten, and you want to extend ten years into a hundred years. It's simply impossible. ”
Mu Xingqiu looked at his arm again, "It's just seven days, I won't lose weight like this." ”
Yi Shijun shook the root of the tree in his hand, "The Fire Tree King is indeed a treasure, able to do both virtual and real, although forty-nine days are just illusions, but your body has admitted and experienced the real forty-nine days. ”
"...... so"
"You're wrong. Yi Shijun sternly denied it. He knew what Mu Xingqiu wanted to say, "The weaker the person, the more likely it is to indulge in illusions and even believe in it." Your body has accepted these forty-nine days because you don't have an inner dan. Sue me, have you condensed into Neidan?"
Mu Xingqiu shook his head, although forty-nine days was far from enough for Ning Dan. But he didn't feel anything in his lower dantian. It can only be said one thing.
"Your body accepts illusions, but you don't practice them, the Taoist method will not be confused by illusions, seven days is seven days, not much at all, no less, the illusion of reality in the void is only effective for the weak, and you want to use it for practice. It has to be made out of nothing, and no one can do that. Even if it's a Taoist priest who serves the sun, he can't do it. ”
Mu Xingqiu lowered his head and was silent, he had to let his brain spin, but he couldn't do it, his body was too weak, and it became difficult to even think, "Tell me everything you find, Yi Shijun, I don't have the energy to guess with you." ”
Yi Shijun snorted, as if he was disdainful and like appreciation, if there was no hope, he would not waste time standing in front of the little worm, "I just said, you almost died, but you didn't die, it wasn't me who helped you stay alive, it was these roots." ”
Mu Xingqiu looked carefully, and sure enough, a few roots penetrated the sleeves of his shirt, which seemed to be connected with his flesh and skin, and he gently tugged on it, feeling a little pain.
"It's part of the Sacred Tree, it didn't let you die, maybe it gave you strength. ”
"I'm here to kill it, why is it...... Help me?"
"Because it's a fool, and it can't tell the difference between friend and foe. "Yishijun once worshipped the tree as a god, and after discovering that it had no "divine will" at all, he immediately demoted it to a weak person.
"But I don't have Ning Dan, and my strength hasn't increased. In fact, Mu Xingqiu felt very weak, the roots were just to sustain his life, and now it was difficult for him to even stand up.
"Give you another seven days, if the power of the tree can really be transferred...... "Yi Shijun disappeared, he would pay close attention to Mu Xingqiu's cultivation progress, and if there was a way to obtain the power of the tree, he himself would come in and share it, or even monopolize it.
Mu Xingqiu watched everywhere, Tianmu was still there, but without the support of Neidan, the effect was greatly reduced, he couldn't see any signs of illusion, for him, forty-nine days was forty-nine days, but for cultivation, one qiē had not changed.
He struggled to his feet, his roots drifting away, causing bouts of subtle pain.
Mu Xingqiu was even hungrier and weaker, but there was no food around, and Yi Shijun didn't take this kind of thing to heart at all.
Next time, no matter what, I have to ask Yi Shijun to bring some food and water, Mu Xingqiu thought so, and then started boxing. Since cultivating Neidan had no effect, he wanted to try the Mind Illusion Technique.
Boxing was much more difficult than thinking, and in less than ten moves, Mu Xingqiu was so tired that he was out of breath, staggered on his feet, and almost fell down several times.
But he still persevered, and finally finished the whole set of forging bone fists, and immediately fell to the ground, unable to get up.
If he didn't eat anything, he would starve to death in the illusion.
Mu Xingqiu grabbed a handful of roots, and before he could reach his mouth, the roots turned into grass ash and flowed out of his fingers, he turned his head and bit directly, but what went into his mouth was still grass ash, and he couldn't swallow it at all, so he could only spit it out.
The roots that once sustained human life, but they didn't want to be eaten, Mu Xingqiu immediately understood that this idea was ridiculous, trees didn't have the idea of "willingness", the roots just couldn't be broken, and their lives were all in this land.
Mu Xingqiu decided to sit up and think about it, but he couldn't even do it, he could only move his gaze slowly, watching the flames solidified outside occasionally crack.
Finally, his gaze rested on something nearby.
The roots of the golem's body have all turned pale yellow, and they have not yet withered. In a trance, Mu Xingqiu saw a red and bright fruit in a patch of yellow, I don't know if it was part of the illusion, or if it was something real.
