Chapter 314: Pine Forest

Xu Hong saw that Jiang Hui accepted the more than 100 taels of silver, so he indifferently instructed: "In the future, you have to cultivate more, and in the future, you may be useful, be cautious, don't be abolished again, let's say goodbye, and see you again in the future." After instructing Jiang Hui, Xu Hong quickly disappeared into the busy streets with Dong Hao.

Jiang Hui was stunned for a moment, and then disappeared from Xu Hong's two people, in order not to attract the attention of others, Jiang Hui also quickly turned a few corners in the street, arrived at the main street, and disappeared into the crowd.

Not long after Xu Hong and the three disappeared, they saw two groups of people arriving at the scene, and the leader of one of them, a middle-aged man dressed in brocade and red silk, laughed at the blue-robed young man opposite: "God really help me to wait, I didn't expect Juxinglou to really make trouble here, but I never thought that this time I kicked the iron plate, but taught me to wait for a preference, fortunately he Gao Zhengkun died early, if it falls into our hands, hum, now see how he Juxinglou will fight with us in Qingyuan City?" Afterwards, the interests of the territory were evenly divided, and the province was more suitable for the local government, and we were not less angry with the government half a month ago!"

When the blue-robed young man heard this, he clapped his palms together and laughed loudly: "The eldest brother is reasonable, the brother will listen to the eldest brother, and the official government in the "Martial Domain Realm" cannot be favored, at this time, we have many brothers, and we are not weak in fighting." Brothers, come with me to outflank Juxinglou, and all the people in Juxinglou will be killed! Today's bonus will be doubled!" After the other two groups of people in Qingyuan City discussed with the leader, they divided into two ways and killed Juxinglou.

In the Qingyuan City Guard's Mansion, the City Keeper heard the secret report of his subordinates. Sneered. He thought in his heart: "It's just a group of clowns who jump off the beam." It is really wishful thinking that several sects will soon be separated, and they will definitely come here to manage the mines, and they will not abandon Qingyuan City and let others be powerful, and as long as they cooperate with themselves, they will inevitably make a fortune, hehe...... "After thinking about it." Then there was a smirk of smirk.

When Xu Hong and the two turned around a few alleys and arrived at a secluded corner, Xu Hong began to sort out the harvest this time, to Xu Hong's displeasure, he didn't find the martial arts secrets of the master of the Gathering Star Building in the space bag, I don't know where this is hidden, and the master of the Gathering Star Building is also a cautious person.

After sorting out the items, in addition to the six two-star space bags, there were seven three-star space bags, plus nearly a thousand taels of silver and more than thirty swords of different grades. As well as dozens of soul cores of different levels, I didn't expect to get more three-star space bags than two-star space bags this time. This was something Xu Hong didn't expect, but he could increase his income somewhat.

After sorting out the belongings brought by Juxinglou for himself, Xu Hong directly put six two-star space bags in the auction hall, in addition to his own three-star space bag, Xu Hong already had eight three-star space bags at this time, but the price of the three-star space bag was not satisfactory, and Xu Hong had no plans to sell it in the near future.

After dealing with it, Xu Hong took Dong Hao to ask the original inhabitants in "Wuyu Boundary" about the strange pine forest outside the west gate of the city.

To Xu Hong's surprise, the local residents seemed to be very afraid of the pine forest, and carefully inquired about the charm of Jiayinliang before they heard them explain the reason, and the result was so strange.

It turns out that a hundred years ago, the pine forest is a steep hillside, covered with pine trees, after climbing the hillside forest, it is a basin valley, which is warm in spring and cool in summer, the scenery is pleasant, it is a place that often plays in ten miles and eight villages at that time, especially some young students, but then I don't know why, suddenly overnight, the whole hillside and basin valley disappeared, from then on, I only saw a pine forest outside, and there were two villages near the town, and there was no one in the village after that night, no one knew where the people of the two villages wentใ€‚

What's even more strange is that no one who reaches the depths of the pine forest can survive anymore, and over time it has become a forbidden place, and even the brave dare not take the risk to break in. In recent decades, it is estimated that some young people have forgotten what happened, only that the pine forest is a forbidden place, and no one dares to enter it anymore.

However, the pine forest is also very strange, listening to some older generations of people, nearly a hundred years as if it has not grown much, has always been like this, people feel very strange and inexplicable, this situation adds to the mystery of the pine forest.

Xu Hong and the two of them came to the formation pine forest three or four miles away from the south of the avenue outside the west gate of the city again, and when they came here for the first time to practice the fingering of the "Spirit Rhino Divine Finger" and the body of the "Phoenix Dance Nine Days", Xu Hong and the others did not conduct a detailed exploration of this pine forest, and after asking the original inhabitants in the "Martial Realm", there was some more danger in their hearts, after all, according to the old people of the previous generation, this pine forest seemed to be very strange, and no one who went in had ever come out again.

But at this time, Xu Hong, who is both third-order cultivators, has decided to be cautious, after all, the people who went in before were all ordinary villagers, and if they met fierce beasts or demon beasts inside, it was naturally impossible to get out of the formation, and they should not be able to fall into it like ordinary villagers, and besides, in a poor and remote place, there may not be a formation master who deliberately set up a formation here, or a strong person is not good at the formation, and it is not necessary to set it up casually, Xu Hong has always been passionate about treasure hunting.

The two came to the blank place where Xu Hong had tested the "Lingxi Xuanyu Finger", and carefully checked it on the side, but it was the same as last time, and they did not find any danger, but to Xu Hong's surprise, the pine tree that Xu Hong had practiced fingering before had already recovered at this moment, as if it had not been traumatized, but Xu Hong and the others clearly remembered that around the blank field, there were several pine trees that were all Xu Hong's "Lingxi Xuanyu Finger" took care of it, and left a finger hole that was deep and an inch deep, and at this moment the empty space was surrounded by intact pine trees, where was it still the scene in Xu Hong's impression.

This strange change made Xu Hong and the others more cautious, and even Xu Hong had already retreated in his heart, but as a third-order cultivator, how could he be deterred by the rumors passed down from ordinary people, although there were some strange scenes here. But some simple phantom arrays can also achieve this situation. What's more, because the Demon Beast Mine Cave is six or seven miles away. There will only be more and more cultivators paying attention to this place, if there is really any treasure in the formation, it would be a pity to miss it!

After staying in the first blank field for half an hour, there was no major discovery, and then Xu Hong and the others carefully walked towards the next blank field, but the second blank field was surprisingly calm, there was nothing special, and there were some pine trees of the same thickness around them. It was almost the same as the first blank field, Xu Hong and the two did not encounter any formation, Xu Hong was already a little skeptical, whether this formation had fallen into disrepair and had broken down.

Although they did not encounter anything suspicious at this time, Xu Hong and the others were more cautious, the unknown danger was even more terrifying, and gradually, when Xu Hong and the two walked towards the last blank field, the position at this time was five or six hundred meters away from the edge of the pine forest.

Before entering the last empty field. Xu Hong stopped, turned around and instructed Dong Hao beside him, "Hazy." You stay here for now, and I'll go in and check it out, so that we won't be able to save each other when we are in danger at the same time. โ€

Dong Hao hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and finally reluctantly responded: "Okay, brother, you have to be careful." โ€

Xu Hong nodded, answered, and walked slowly through a few sparse pine trees in front of him towards the empty space in the middle.

After Xu Hong approached the empty field for a while, he didn't encounter any formation, thinking to himself if he was too cautious, maybe this was originally a broken formation, and after such a long time, it had lost its effectiveness.

But the next moment something happened that made Xu Hong creepy, the obviously empty field, Chu felt that a rattan as thick as an invisible finger was silently wrapped around his body, just about to struggle, his hands and feet had been bound by invisible rattan, and at the same time he found that his feet were slowly submerging into the ground, suddenly encountering this scene, Xu Hong couldn't help but be anxious, but what he had to do at this time was to calm down, in less than two seconds, Xu Hong's waist down, in order to completely submerge under the blank field, hurriedly shouted to Dong Hao:" Hazy and fast, meet at Qingyuan Inn. As soon as he shouted this command to Dong Hao, Xu Hong's speed of being pulled into the ground increased sharply, and he disappeared from the ground in an instant.

When Xu Hong's figure just disappeared downward, Dong Hao had already found out, and after saying "Brother be careful", he rushed forward, but Xu Hong fell too fast, and Xu Hong's instructions had just come out and disappeared, as if no one had ever appeared in the empty space in the middle.

Such a strange scene made Dong Hao at a loss, and stood beside the pine forest in a daze, hesitating in his heart, whether to return to the Qingyuan Inn according to what his brother said, or enter the blank field to see if his brother had entered the illusion, or had an accident?

Dong Hao hadn't decided what to do with him, when he suddenly tightened his waist, as if a vine was entangled in him, looking down, but there was nothing, and his body had been slowly pulled forward, and he hurriedly swung his sword and slashed towards the void in front of him, slashing to a place parallel to his waist in the air, slashing a thing, but it was like a mid-defeat, and like hitting a golden stone, and the sword in his hand was so shocked that he almost flew out of his hand, which was very weird.

Dong Hao was just about to make another move, and suddenly felt that his body was light, but he found that his body had been volleyed over the empty field, and before Dong Hao could react, the accident was born again, Dong Hao only felt a dizziness in his brain, and then it was dark in front of him, and it was dark all around, Dong Hao fell asleep when the darkness came.

When Dong Hao woke up and turned around, he found that Xu Hong was looking at him anxiously beside him, but the surroundings were red, the light was not very bright, and it was blurred in the distance, Dong Hao said a little confused: "Brother, where is this? Have we reached hell? No, after my brother dies, will he also enter the same hell as our original inhabitants?"

Xu Hong couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Dong Hao wake up, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Dong Hao sit up, and said with concern: "You girl, you finally woke up, didn't you tell you to go back, why did you faint and come here instead? Hehe, but it's okay to be hazy, it's not hell here, we are still alive and well." He blamed Dong Hao with concern, and then smiled and comforted her, so as not to let the little girl think nonsense.

Dong Hao sat up under Xu Hong's support, explained the situation to Xu Hong at that time, and said: "I didn't step into the empty field at that time, but my waist suddenly tightened, as if I was entangled by an invisible vine, and I swung my sword with all my strength to slash the invisible vine, and the next moment Hazy fainted in front of my eyes, and when I woke up, I was next to my brother, did my brother find out where this was? Why is the light so dim?"

Xu Hong looked around and said, "I don't know where this is, I just came down and didn't understand what was going on, you fell down, fortunately, I don't know why, the vines didn't directly throw us into the air, so we didn't fall and hurt our bodies, I don't know why the strange vines wanted to catch us here, but they didn't kill us." But you just seemed to be poisoned, I was very worried, but I didn't want to wake up in less than half an hour, and the toxicity must not be deep. How is your body feeling now? โ€

Dong Hao moved his body lightly and said softly: "There is no major discomfort, but the body is a little weak, it feels soft, and the internal strength is not running smoothly." โ€

Xu Hong heard that Dong Hao didn't have much discomfort, and couldn't help but put his mind at ease, and said: "It's good that there are no major symptoms, this shows that the toxins in you are not strong, and your body will recover after two days. โ€

After instructing Dong Hao, Xu Hong got up and looked around carefully, only to see a red color all around, and his vision was blocked from a distance, and he couldn't see clearly, in this red space, it was like being in a refining furnace, but there was a little less scorching feeling, otherwise it would really be a purgatory. I don't know where this is, why is it under the empty space? Could it be that this is an illusion formed by a phantom array?

Xu Hong, who had not walked far away, slowly continued to walk more than 20 steps into the distance, and saw a strange scene, only to see a circle of red walls, which were made of countless red arm-thick vines, and the walls formed by the intertwined vines looked very weird and terrifying, and seeing this kind of arm-thick vines made Xu Hong feel a little creepy, because among the arm-thick vines, you could see a slowly flowing bright red liquid like blood, I don't know if the liquid of this vine itself is bright red, or the liquid is reflected by the red vines into a blood-red color, or some other reasonใ€‚ (To be continued......)
