Chapter 288: Voices from the Depths of the Ground
Putting away his sword and standing, Shi Xiaole glanced outside.
Seeing that the middle-aged man with a mustache was wrong, he ran away as soon as possible. With the other party's sevenfold cultivation of Xuanqi, he was bent on running, but Shi Xiaole really couldn't catch up.
After all, his strength lies in Kenshin and technique, and internal strength is always a weakness.
"Shaoxia, thanks to you this time. ”
After escaping death, Ying Xiong and the others immediately walked up, full of joy and excitement for the rest of their lives.
"Young man, he must have a bright future in the future. ”
One of the gang leaders was shocked and couldn't help but praise.
Xuan Qi triple killed the ghost mother-in-law of Xuan Qi Sevenfold, Shi Xiaole's talent has surpassed Lin Shaoyi, even among the first-class heroes in Daliang Prefecture, it can be regarded as upstream.
And looking at the other party's age, it seems that he is much younger than Lin Shaoyi.
Shi Xiaole had a polite conversation with a few people, and then walked towards the ghost castle masters who were seriously injured and had no time to escape. One of them was the right-hand man of the ghost mother-in-law, and under the Great Law of Soul Transfer, he easily spit out a way to enter the ghost castle.
It is worth mentioning that the formation in the original ghost castle was not arranged by the ghost mother-in-law.
According to this person, when the formation appeared inexplicably, they found the trick of getting in and out by mistake, although they couldn't find out the reason, but there was no danger, so they used this place as a base camp.
At the moment, led by Ying Xiong, several people first dealt with the many imps who were fighting for the tiger, and then walked out of the formation and called the disciples of the three major gangs to clean up the mess.
"Shi Shaoxia, Lin Shaoxia, these are some medicinal herbs, can you use them?"
The most valuable thing in the ghost castle is the Gu magic medicinal materials provided by the three gangs, a large part of which has been used up by the ghost mother-in-law, and the rest of the part, Ying Xiong and the others want to give to Shi Xiaole and Lin Shaoyi.
The former contributed the most and saved everyone's lives. The latter was almost implicated by them, and he always had to make up for it. Moreover, in the eyes of everyone, both of them are talented young heroes, and it will definitely not be wrong to have a good relationship.
"You're welcome. ”
Shi Xiaole didn't want to accept it, but he couldn't resist a few people, and it was estimated that if he didn't accept it, they wouldn't be at ease, so he symbolically chose a few plants.
"I don't like this kind of thank-you gift, I prefer wine to medicinal herbs. ”
Lin Shaoyi said.
"Hahaha, when I go back this time, I must let Lin Shaoxia drink enough. ”
The crowd laughed.
Shi Xiaole thought about the strange fruit under the half-moon pool, of course, it was impossible to go back to drink with them, but he didn't want to be seen by others, so he found a reason and returned to the ghost castle halfway.
Probably because he felt that the formation of the ghost castle was suitable for emergency hiding, Ying Xiong and the others did not dismantle it, Shi Xiaole walked into it smoothly, and soon stood by the half-moon pool.
According to the unknown monk, there was a passage dug up at the bottom of the waterhole, which went 400 meters underground, and the alien fruit seed must have been planted.
Here's the problem.
Generally, masters of the Lingguan Realm only have a lifespan of two hundred years, and above the Lingguan Realm, it is said that the lifespan limit of a martial artist is three hundred years.
The age of the Nameless Monk was long before the Great War of the Righteous and Demon, in other words, the person who planted the tree would never live to the day when the alien fruit ripened.
So will he send his descendants?
In other words, over the long years, the changes in the natural environment will not cause changes in the strange fruits?
In any case, Shi Xiaole didn't have much chance of getting the strange fruit, but fortunately, he didn't have much hope at first, he just wanted to give it a try.
Sure that there was no one around, Shi Xiaole swung his sword towards the west of the dry pool, resting for a while every quarter of an hour, and the cycle repeated.
About half an hour later, a hole was dug in the ground more than 20 meters deep.
Burst!
The sound of solid cracking sounded, and Shi Xiaole saw a stone slab under the soil, and after moving away, an extremely deep hole appeared.
"It's strange, this place is so secret, how did that nameless monk find out?"
Shi Xiaole suddenly became a little suspicious.
If someone hadn't told him, who would have sensed that there was no cave here? Could it be that the nameless monk had the ability to be different from ordinary people, or was it ......
With caution, Shi Xiaole cautiously entered through the hole.
The passage underground is very low, and adults can only crawl slowly with their bodies crawling, and the slope is very steep, full of sand and stones, and if you are not careful, you will roll dizzy and your head will break your blood.
Fortunately, Shi Xiaole's martial arts are good, and his center of gravity is very stable, although his speed is a little slower, he doesn't have any foreign appearance.
As we went deeper, the light in the ground increased and became brighter, and the temperature became abnormally high. Gradually, Shi Xiaole's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and the pores all over his body were hot.
When he reached three hundred meters underground, he didn't dare to take a big breath, because every time he took a breath, it was like being cut by countless fiery knives.
When we reached 350 meters underground, the air was red, and there seemed to be a large fireball hidden in front of it, causing the air to burn violently.
There was a popping sound on the surface of his body, and Shi Xiaole found that his body's true qi was almost insufficient, and if he was replaced by an ordinary person who didn't understand martial arts, he must have been burned into a pile of flying ashes at this moment.
"It's fifty meters away. ”
Running the internal force to the limit, Shi Xiaole's heart beat faster and resolutely went deeper. At this point, there is no turning back.
Heaven and earth fruits, is to absorb the essence of heaven and earth and born, at the beginning of the extreme dependence on the environment, and when ripe, will completely change the environment, if the road is ordinary, means that there is no strange fruit, he will be very disappointed.
Rumble!
The passage suddenly opened, Shi Xiaole fell on a flat ground, opened his eyes, and there was a blazing red in front of him, and only after looking carefully could he see that the light was emitted by a red and crystal fruit.
The crimson fruit hung between the stone walls like a sun that had shrunk countless times, and its roots covered the walls, as if it was absorbing the energy of the earth.
"This is, Chiyang Zhuguo!"
Rao Yishi Xiaole's heart couldn't help but cry out at this moment, and he was so surprised that he couldn't add it again.
Chiyang Zhuguo, one of the ten exotic fruits of the Pegasus Dynasty, must be planted in the land of pure yang, it takes three hundred years to germinate, six hundred years to flower, and eight hundred years to fruit, a total of 1,700 years.
And once ripe, it must be consumed within ten days, otherwise it will return to the soil and dissipate completely.
According to martial arts legend, Chiyang Zhuguo has an incredible miraculous effect, and if it is given to a eunuch or a woman, it will become a man within three days.
If it is a normal man, he will become a pure yang man, and his physique will increase greatly, and he will live a long life of 100 years.
If you give it to a warrior, the effect will be even more terrifying.
There was once a rumor that thousands of years ago, a down-and-out Jianghu guest accidentally discovered the Chiyang Zhuguo under the pursuit of the enemy.
In just ten years of hard work, this person has jumped from an unknown ordinary martial artist to a peerless master who is famous in the world, and has changed his life against the sky.
It can be said that the ten different fruits are one of the highest blessings recognized by the rivers and lakes, and whoever can get one of them can leap into the dragon gate and be proud of the world.
It's a pity that the top ten exotic fruits are too rare, and they have only appeared a few times for countless years. There are even a few strains that only exist in legends and have never been seen by anyone.
Shi Xiaole walked towards Chiyang Zhuguo, and the breath that seemed to be able to scorch gold and iron sprayed on his body, and he didn't feel pain.
When the two sides were less than a foot apart, Shi Xiaole suddenly stopped.
"That's not right!"
A suppressed instinct exploded, and Shi Xiaole flew backwards. Just as he moved, a sharp spiritual fluctuation pierced in place.
Shi Xiaole was sure that if he hadn't reacted in time, his mind would definitely have suffered a heavy blow under this blow.
"Can you actually resist the temptation of Chiyang Zhuguo?"
A slightly startled voice came, unable to capture its exact position.
"Who are you?"
Shi Xiaole looked around, and his power was running to the limit.
"I'm just a wisp of soul, waiting for the arrival of someone who is destined, and you are the person who is destined. ”
The voice was ethereal.
"It's ridiculous, where does the soul of the world come from, you are just a voice in a phonographic stone. ”
With a high concentration of mind, Shi Xiaole found the gramophone stone behind Chiyang Zhuguo, and stabbed it out with a sword, piercing it.
Click.
Everything in front of me is like a mirror, and the scene is changing. What rock walls, what Chiyang Zhuguo, all disappeared, and some were just a slightly larger soil space, and even the road when they came was gone.
Dark, oppressive, thin air.
Even if you are a peerless master who dominates the world, you will suffocate to death if you stay here for a while.
Shi Xiaole panicked in his heart, but soon, he calmed down again.
"Everything is fake. ”
The human subconscious is very scary, and when you think something is real, then you are really affected.
Shi Xiaole believed that he must have fallen into some kind of phantom array, infinitely exaggerating the power of his subconscious, and if he indulged in it, he would really suffocate to death.
It was also at this moment that he suddenly understood that perhaps the formation in the ghost castle was caused by the overflow of the aura of this phantom array.
"The mind is strong enough, and the physique is also good, although it is not as good as this seat back then, but it can barely get into the eyes. Hahaha, the prophecy of the Destiny of God is indeed correct. With the help of this person, this seat may be able to see the light of day again!"
In the depths of the earth, there was a space, full of the smell of mist, and there was a stone three feet long and six inches wide, like a glass jade. If anyone were here, it would be terrifying.
Because the jade stone is filled with an unknown boiling liquid, in the liquid, there is a human brain marrow suspended, and the cold voice comes from the brain marrow.
At the same time, a hammer between real and illusory took shape in the soil space and smashed into Shi Xiaole's head.
Bang!
Shi Xiaole's face turned pale, and the world was spinning in front of him, and he felt that his consciousness and mind seemed to be shattered.
The sword technique was cast, and a layer of fine cyan sword net protected Shi Xiaole and stabbed at the hammer. However, the hammer ignored all this, and smashed it again and again, not destroying Shi Xiaole's consciousness and not giving up.
"Stupid, this is the spiritual entity Dafa of this seat, although the power is less than one percent of what it used to be, it is enough to strangle you, give up resistance. ”
The voice of the underground brain came with a determination to win.
