Text: Chapter 71: The Drought Fish

"Don't worry, we have some interactions, and there will be no conflict!" Zhao Da took the gift and left confidently.

Lan Jiuming waited outside the Qingqiu Forest with the sergeant, waiting from morning to noon, and did not see Zhao Da come back, Lan Jiuming was uneasy, could it be that Zhao Da also had an accident?

In the afternoon, Wei Xiaoyue led the army to come and joined Lan Jiuming, "Brother Ming, after we received your military report, we were afraid that you would be alone and would not be able to speak, so we sent me to answer you!"

Lan Jiuming was very happy to see Wei Xiaoyue, "It's great that you can come, Xiaofeng is missing, this Zhao Da has not come back for a long time, I want to go and see, but I don't dare to leave my post without permission!"

Lan Jiuming whispered to Wei Xiaoyue: "These people are newly surrendered, the army is unstable, if I leave, I am afraid that they will change, now that you are here, just here to guard, I will explore this Qingqiu forest!"

"Brother Ming, I used to have some understanding of Qingqiulin, this is a branch of the Tibetan Mountain Sect, they have been passed down for hundreds of years, all the sect masters are called green foxes, each generation of green foxes is good at illusion, different from our cultivation, I am not at ease if you go alone!"

Lan Jiuming said: "The secret technique of the Tibetan Mountain focuses on the technique, although it seems to be varied, but after all, it is inseparable from the five elements, don't worry, I will act cautiously!"

Wei Xiaoyue handed Lan Jiuming a packet of powder and said, "This can cure the soul separation technique, you may be useful if you carry it!"

Lan Jiuming hid it close to his body and entered the dense forest alone!

The first few miles of the road didn't show anything special, except that the vegetation grew more and more luxuriant, and there was no sound of birds chirping in it.

Lan Jiuming cheered up and continued to walk forward, and it didn't take long to find a few traps. Although these traps are well hidden, for the masters of the rivers and lakes, it is easy to notice, "These traps should be a warning!"

He looked around, and vaguely felt a few faint breaths, Lan Jiuming raised his feet and walked over the pit, because of his excellent light skills, his feet stepped on the trap mechanism without any reaction, as if he hadn't touched it!

"Presumably those 'eyes' have already seen it!" Lan Jiuming deliberately revealed his skills, the main purpose was to send a signal that they should hurry up and pay attention to it, and show up earlier, the enthusiasm for worshipping the mountain gate in his body was ignited, and he hadn't really broken through on the rivers and lakes for a long time!

Those few faint breaths slowly disappeared, Lan Jiuming continued to walk forward, a strange cry sounded in the woods, which lasted for a while, after the scream stopped, Lan Jiuming found that the weeds in the forest were originally flourishing, but at this moment, a road appeared in front of him!

The grass and trees in front of me are completely different from the ones just now, "The trees have shifted, I don't know where they are leading me?"

Lan Jiuming looked at this road, leading straight to the depths of the Qingqiu Forest, and at the end of the road was a gloomy!

He walked along the road for a while, and found that the number of beasts on the road began to increase, and at once a hare ran past, and occasionally a few fawns ran out, but the most common on the road were snakes!

These snakes are flesh-colored, some big and some small, wandering in the grass, they are a species that they have never seen, there are more and more snakes, and some are even lying on the path, Lan Jiuming can only step past them, they don't attack, they just move their bodies slightly, and then continue to lie on their stomachs!

Lan Jiuming stopped, because the road ahead was already crawling with snakes, and there was no road! The branches above his head were also densely packed with small snakes four or five inches long, and some of the branches could not bear the weight, so the little snakes fell to the ground like rain!

There are snakes in front and back, and although Lan Jiuming is not afraid, he also has scruples in his heart: "There are too many strange species in the arching earth, and if so many snakes are poisonous, it will be a big trouble!"

At this moment, a low flute sound was heard not far away, and all the snakes stood up with their heads up!

Tens of thousands of snakes are standing and swaying with the sound of the flute, which is a spectacle!

Lan Jiuming held the sword in his hand, waiting for the attack to come at any time!

The sound of the flute suddenly became extremely sharp, and those snakes quickly turned their heads at Lan Jiuming, and after a moment of confrontation, they curled up and shot out like springs!

Front and back, left and right, up and down six directions to attack together, this small space is full of wriggling snakes, Lan Jiuming didn't dare to let them get too close, and hurriedly released the true qi to form a section of qi wall to protect himself, those snakes were blocked outside, but because of their extremely fast speed, they were not shaken open by the qi wall, but stuck to the periphery, the more they sticked!

This made Lan Jiuming very surprised, could it be that the snake also had cultivation? Otherwise, how could it be connected with my true qi?

The snakes surrounded the air wall layer by layer, they kept drilling in, some snake heads had already stretched in, and their bodies were still stuck inside, Lan Jiuming saw that the situation was critical, so he changed the shape of the gas wall, and the qi turned at will, and the surrounding air flow quickly began to flow, turning into a tornado surrounding, those snakes were swept up in it and spun rapidly, Lan Jiuming stood in the center of the vortex, pushing this air flow into the distance!

Huge tornadoes carried tens of thousands of meat snakes against tree trunks and shrubs, due to the huge force, many snakes were torn apart by branches, and the broken snake bodies hung all over the woods, making people's scalps tingle!

The flute was still blowing, Lan Jiuming looked for a position, and quickly flew to him with light skills, but he didn't find anyone, "It's really strange!"

Lan Jiuming couldn't help but admire, the source of this flute sound was not a person, but an emerald green snake, standing at the tuyere, there were twelve holes on its body, exactly the same as the flute, if it wasn't for seeing its snake head moving, Lan Jiuming thought that someone had lost a flute here!

The wind flowed through its holes, making a flute-like sound, and with the twisting of its body, it could even change its tone, "It was just the signal it sent that the snakes would attack me!"

Thinking of this, Lan Jiuming picked up a branch and hit the snake's seven inches, as soon as his hand was raised, he felt a yin wind blowing from behind, he turned around and palmed it, broke up the yin wind, and then saw that the snake was gone!

Lan Jiuming looked anxiously at where the yin wind came from, and two figures walked slowly from a distance. The posture of these two people walking is a little strange, unlike normal people walking, they circle their legs, walk swayingly, and their breath is even more unusual, not human breath, nor beasts!

After getting closer, I saw clearly that it was two old apes, their fur was blue and white, their four fangs were exposed, and their eyes were blood-red, full of murderous aura!

Lan Jiuming looked at one of the old apes holding the flute-like snake in his hand, and muttered in his heart: "Are all the animals in this forest refined?"

He took out the green dragon whip and looked at the two old apes, the more he looked at them, the more wrong they became, the nails of this old ape were blue-black, three inches long, his mouth was full of filthy breath, and the sound of Ula Ula sounded in his throat, giving Lan Jiuming a feeling more like an weathered ancient corpse in a cemetery, the long hair on this body was not as supple as apes, and the roots exploded outward like steel needles!

"What kind of breath is this, not a human or an animal?" Lan Jiuming was in confusion, and the two "old apes" suddenly jumped high, their four paws downward, and pounced on Lan Jiuming!

Lan Jiuming didn't know the details of these two guys, so he didn't dare to relax, so he hurriedly pulled out the Qinglong Whip, flew backwards, the whip was thrown into the air, and the old ape rolled in the air, dodging the Qinglong Whip!

"No matter what you are, staying in this forest spirit will harm the people, I will get rid of you today!"

Lan Jiuming once traveled to the rivers and lakes, and he had no good impression of the rare and exotic beasts in the mountains and forests, most of them were harmful things, and he was not afraid of them today, and the green dragon whip in his hand was not soaked in water and fire, and it was not invaded by a hundred poisons, so that the number of open roads was slammed against the two old apes!

Although those two guys had terrible faces, how could they be Lan Jiuming's opponents, they were hit by the Qinglong whip many times, their skin and flesh were cracked, and they were miserable!

However, they didn't seem to feel pain, and they still attacked Lan Jiuming regardless of it, Lan Jiuming shook his spirits and threw the green dragon whip horizontally, the whip tail was as fast as the wind, sharp as a knife, and cut off the heads of the two old apes in an instant!

They staggered behind them, and instead of falling, they stood there motionless, and it took a long time for the strange aura to slowly disappear.

Lan Jiuming put away his whip and said to the front: "What kind of hero is hiding in the shadows, and he doesn't show up yet?"

He was full of internal strength, and his voice echoed loudly in the forest, and a sweet voice came: "I'm not a hero in the first place, what's wrong with hiding?"

Lan Jiuming saw two women coming in front of him, he stepped forward and said, "It turned out to be two girls!"

The two women were expressionless, and one of them looked Lan Jiuming up and down and asked, "Who are you?"

"I don't know who I am, just shoot the two of you, is human life so cheap in your eyes?"

A woman said angrily: "You broke in and still have a word, this Qingqiu Forest has rules, you can't complain about yourself!"

Lan Jiuming smiled, and then said, "Then I'm offended, I'm here to meet your sect master, Qinghu!"

"The master of the door is what you say you will see!"

Lan Jiuming pointed at the two headless old apes and said: "I believe that the two of you already know my skills, if I break through, although I am not sure of victory, I am still very confident in giving you a heavy blow, but today I am here to find someone, and I don't want to grudge with Qingqiulin, so there are two girls who can be introduced!"

A woman said, "I don't want to make grudges, but you destroy them, and this feud is already settled!"

Lan Jiuming laughed and said, "Those two are not living creatures at all, why bother with dead corpses? Now that the war is raging, you can find corpses everywhere to replace them!"

The two women's eyes widened, "Do you know what they are?"

Lan Jiuming nodded and said: "I didn't know at first, but then I found the breath of the two of them, and then I reacted, your Tibetan Mountain Sect is good at driving corpses, those two guys are covered in long hair, people are not like people, apes are not like apes, there is no pain, they must be thousand-year-old corpses!"

He looked at the two women with a look of approval, "It's just that I didn't expect that the people who are proficient in such a secret technique are actually two young and beautiful girls!"

When the two women saw Lan Jiuming praising their beauty, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, "You are young, it is rare to have such knowledge!"

Lan Jiuming saw that their attitude was relaxed, and struck while the iron was hot, "Two girls, I have no intention of conflicting, but I have to take action in order to save my life, please forgive me, it is indeed urgent to break in rashly today!"

The two of them glanced at each other, and then took out a small snake, still in the shape of a flute, the woman blew gently, the voice was short and powerful, and it didn't take long for the forest to reverberate!
