Chapter 234: Encounter
The distance was too close, Lu Xu was shocked, and he couldn't care that he was on the rock wall more than thirty meters high, relying on the strength of his body, he kicked under his feet, turned over and jumped down sharply.
Free fall at such a high height is also very dangerous for him, and after borrowing force a few times, he stepped on several branches, which offset the momentum of the fall, and waited for the landing. He sped out more than ten meters and stood in disbelief.
At this time, when he turned around, Lu Xu's face turned cold, and he saw a black and purple giant python crawling next to Jiuxingzhi. It is more than two zhang long, the thickness of an adult's thigh, and the huge python head is more than half a meter high, looking down at Lu Xu, spitting scarlet letters, sizzling.
"Demon beast!?"
"No, there's no monster breath!"
Lu Xu sensed it slightly, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be just an ordinary giant python, which may have lived for a long time and has a very strong vitality, so it has grown so big.
Generally speaking, with the qi and blood emanating from his powerful body, most beasts have to avoid it, but there are some special beasts with strong blood and energy, coupled with their tyrannical nature, sometimes they are exceptions.
In a word, the giant python was very jealous of the aura on Lu Xu's body, but it felt threatened, so it attacked.
"There's its nest on the rock wall?"
Lu Xu's heart moved.
However, whether it is guarding its nest or not, Lu Xu has to drive it away or solve it.
Although the black bone vine can be dispensed with, the more precious Seven Star Zhi is his must-have.
After meditating for a while, Lu Xu once again touched a line of the sky, a few meters away, and the giant python could be clearly seen from below.
Picking up a few stones from the ground, he threw them out with all his might, and the stones flew up and hit the python.
Although the distance is far enough and the strength is not enough, under Lu Xu's full strength, the residual strength of the stone is still not small, the giant python was hurt by it, and kept swimming, but the rock wall seemed to be flat, and it couldn't fall.
Seeing that the flying stone worked, Lu Xu rose up and hit the giant python with a stone bullet, but this guy simply didn't move later, and let the stone hit him just wouldn't leave.
Lu Xu's face turned cold when he saw this, he didn't have so much time to waste.
"I wanted to let you live, but you didn't leave!"
Untie the bow and arrows, wind the arrows, and thousands of catties of power quickly gather on the bow and arrows, and even the bow and arrows are buzzing.
At this moment, the giant python suddenly moved, swam and climbed upward, and swam quickly towards the gap between the heavens.
Clearly, it felt threatened so much that it couldn't fight back, so it had to slip away.
Lu Xu opened his mouth and scolded what a cheap bone, he knew that it would work, so why waste Lao Tzu's time?
The animal is extremely sensitive to danger, and if an arrow is fired, it will be enough to kill it.
After making sure that it had entered the first line of heaven and walked away, Lu Xu took a deep breath and climbed up again.
This time, he was vigilant all around, but his movements were not slow, and he began to cut off a few vine branches of the black bones, and threw them aside casually, cleaning up all around.
This is also for the picking of the Seven Star Zhi, he does not have a spirit sealing talisman now, if he is not dug up together with the root tie soil, it will not be long before most of the spiritual energy of this Nine Star Zhi will be consumed.
"Huh. "As soon as the shovel dug in, there was a clang, and it seemed to hit the gold and iron, not rotten wood.
Like ordinary Ganoderma lucidum, Qixingzhi also grows on decaying wood, obviously, it is not here.
Lu Xu hurriedly brushed away the soil on it, and was stunned for a moment.
"Transforming into a god tree?"
Under the soil is a piece of black and green palm-sized, iron-like hard wood, which is very similar to the Divine Wood that Lu Xu had seen in the classics before, if the Seven Star Zhi can only grow so big on the Divine Tree, and the giant python is reluctant to leave, then everything is easy to explain.
The Divine Wood is extremely difficult to find in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, and its value is incalculable, because the Divine Wood is the main medicine for refining the Divine Soul Nourishing Pill, which can nourish the monk's divine soul and increase divine consciousness. You must know that in the world of cultivating immortals, the elixir that can nourish the divine sense is almost lost, and this divine wood has been extinct in the world of all spirits for tens of thousands of years, but I didn't expect that there would still be here.
The palm-sized piece is already very large, with this Divine Tree, he will be able to refine several furnaces of the Divine Soul Nourishing Pill, it can be said that if this Divine Wood appears in the World of Ten Thousand Spirits, it will definitely cause a bloody storm.
About half an hour later, Lu Xu flew down and galloped towards the location of the Dragon God Heavenly Palace.
Even if you don't find the Dragon God Heavenly Palace this time, the harvest will be worth it.
......
About twenty miles from the location of the Dragon God Heavenly Palace, which was evident on the map, a heavily armed procession was winding its way. The direction happened to be the same as Lu Xu's, however, the team was relatively large, with more than 20 people, carrying swords and wearing leather armor, observing the surrounding trees and terrain, correcting the direction from time to time, discussing, and marching very slowly.
In the crowd, there were eight black-clothed men with lean bodies and sharp eyes, carrying their own weapons on their backs, their temples bulging high, showing that they had a strong kung fu. They are obviously not the same kind of people as the young men and women behind them, and they are clearly distinguished, which can be seen at a glance.
And these people are escorting a man about thirty years old with outstanding temperament and a handsome girl of seventeen or eighteen years old.
"How far is it from your destination?" the man asked in a deep voice.
A strong man next to him who exuded a capable aura looked at the map when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Jiang, there are less than twenty miles left, and it is estimated that it will take more than two hours, if at this speed, it will be impossible to move forward in the dark, and you will have to get there tomorrow morning!"
The man frowned and said, "It's a little slow......"
Hao Fei looked at the people in front of him and said, "We are not familiar with this mountain, and it is easy to get lost and waste time without a guide." ”
When the man heard this, he didn't answer, turned his head and asked the girl next to him, "County Lord, what do you think?"
This girl is the only woman in the team, but she is the little lord of the Beichen Marquis Mansion, so she must be consulted for any action.
The girl frowned and said, "Mr. Jiang, this map is not only obtained by our Beichen Marquis Mansion, we must rush there as soon as possible, and we can't delay time!"
"County Lord, as soon as we got the map, we were already on our way as soon as possible, and there was no delay on the road at all, so it didn't take a little time, right?" said a guard from the Beichen Marquis Mansion.
The girl glanced at the man who spoke, these people were all guards of Beichen Hou's Mansion, and those black-clothed people were the masters of the army that Beichen Hou specially transferred for this matter, and they didn't know much. Only these guards knew they were going to explore a mysterious place.
"Go and ask the guide, and figure out the general path as soon as possible, we must speed up!" the man named Mr. Jiang said to Hao Fei in a deep voice. "You have to be there before dark!"
"Yes. Fei Fei replied in a low voice.
"I hope it's true, and no one has rushed to get ahead of us......" Mr. Jiang muttered as he glanced in that direction.
The girl whispered, "Are you worried that someone is ahead of us?"
"Well, the man said he had an original picture, but it was stolen by a tomb robber, so I'd rather believe it!" Mr. Jiang said.
"Hmph, those people are really useless, they haven't found that tomb robber in Qinghe City for three days!" the girl complained.
"Hehe, that tomb robber is an old Jianghu, so naturally he has some doorways?" Mr. Jiang said. "However, fortunately, we set off as soon as possible, and there should be no problem!"
"However, instead of worrying about the tomb robber, I am worried about the others, we have received this unverified and shocking information, and there is no guarantee that someone else will know about it and go ahead of us!" Mr. Jiang then whispered worriedly. "We learned the news through the people in the Criminal Department, but it was the red-clothed Tiqi who caught the gang first. ”
The girl frowned, and said in an uncertain tone: "Impossible, right?" The red-clothed Tiqi caught someone and handed it over to the criminal department as soon as possible. Although the red-clothed Tiqi is controlled by the people of the four major families, who would take the words from the mouths of a group of tomb robbers seriously? If it weren't for the fact that my father had been in contact with the immortal master, I'm afraid we would also think that those people were crazy. ”
"Can't be left to chance!" Mr. Jiang said in a deep voice. "Master Hou can get in touch with the Immortal Master, and others may be able to do it too. Maybe there are four major families in this big cliff mountain now. ”
"This ......" The girl was stunned, her face became serious, and after a while, she smiled bitterly: "What you said is very reasonable, you can't leave it to chance!"
A moment later, he came back and nodded at everyone.
"County Lord, Mr. Jiang, I have made it clear, but I have calculated, according to the guide, this straight line of twenty miles, we have to walk eighty miles, this may be the closest, otherwise with the path we just calculated, we have to walk one hundred and twenty miles away, and we will arrive tomorrow afternoon!"
"Then let's go, go as fast as you can!" Mr. Jiang and the girl glanced at each other and immediately ordered. "I'll be there tomorrow morning!"
Eighty miles through the mountains and forests, it is not a flat road, because there is no road to follow, only one way can be taken, so this distance is very far.
At ten points in the evening, Lu Xu finally approached the place of the 'Dragon God Heavenly Palace' marked on the map for about two miles. However, when he stepped on the top of a small mountain, there was a deep valley in front of him, and there was not a place with a strong spiritual aura within a radius of more than ten miles.
"Could it be that the formation has not been broken, and the aura has not been leaked?" Lu Xu frowned slightly, it seemed that this situation was different from what he had deduced, and he originally thought that the formation was broken to let that guy enter. But it doesn't seem to be, if the formation is incomplete, the aura should leak out, and he will definitely be able to find the fluctuation of the rich aura, after all, it is a place for immortal cultivators, no matter how you say that the aura environment will not be bad.
Take out the map and look at it again, that's right, the destination is two miles ahead, there is a deep valley, and that mountain stream is in the depths of the valley, as long as the person who drew the map is not lying, then the Dragon God Heavenly Palace he is looking for is about to arrive.
