Chapter 54: Avalanches and Cracks
The shaking of the house became more and more violent, and Wan Peng, who had been sitting, finally couldn't hold it anymore and got up and got out of bed. The wood on the roof was already creaking, and some of the floating ash was falling.
A hint of suspicion flashed on his face, and he quickly walked to the side of the stacked materials, and directly put them into the ring. Since he had already made some of the materials into different components of the formation talisman before, his Na Ring was now just enough to fit in all.
The shaking of the house became even more violent, and Wan Peng did not stop, and flashed outside. As soon as I stepped out of the door, the house behind me collapsed.
The ground outside was equally unstable, and the whole mountain seemed to be shaking.
And the other houses, not many survived. As the other houses collapsed, a stream of disgraced cultivators burst out of the rubble. The smell of sulfur filled the air, but I don't know where it came from.
Why? Why is there such a strong earthquake? Doesn't it mean that Lingyun Mountain has deep spiritual roots, and under its influence, there will be no earthquake at all? And indeed, there has not been a record of such a large earthquake for thousands of years.
Or was it the army under the mountain that attacked?
And when this kind of chaos is in this way, isn't it the most dangerous time for him? Wan Peng did not hesitate, and quickly activated the Imperial Dragon Guarding Palace, and the white ice dragon flashed and guarded him firmly in it.
Other cultivators kept flying into the sky, and Wan Peng also took out the flying blanket and was about to rise into the air, but unexpectedly Liyang reminded him, "Don't fly into the air, walk down the mountain!"
Wan Peng was puzzled, "Why? With such a strong earthquake, running down the mountain, what if there is a danger of falling rocks or something? Besides, without the ice dragon, we ......."
Liyang was a little anxious, "I don't have time to explain to you, quick, do as I say!
Wan Peng could hear the anxiety in Liyang's tone, put away the flying blanket, and prepared to run down. But at a glance, he caught a glimpse of the broom in the two arrays, paused slightly, took it down directly, held it in his hand left and right, and rushed directly down the mountain.
The earth shook violently, and in some places stones rolled down the bones of the mountain. Wan Peng didn't care about the mountain road or not, and ran down to avoid possible dangers. People are constantly flying into the sky, and now Lingyun Mountain is a dense layer on top of it.
Suddenly, Wan Peng felt that there was some kind of change in the surrounding environment. He could feel a current of air rising from the ground, faint but extremely fast. These air currents seem to be formed by the convergence of countless filaments, and many of them are rubbed against Wan Peng's skin, and they can't avoid it even if they want to.
And just a few breaths, there was a sudden burst of continuous roaring sound in the air, Wan Peng stopped, looked up, but found that more than ten meters above the ground, began to fill with a kind of green smoke. This smoke became thicker and thicker, basically enveloping the entire Lingyun Mountain.
"Let's go, don't look at it. This is the spirit devouring agent spewed out by the soul devouring insect, which belongs to an extremely powerful poisonous gas, after it is sprayed, ten meters above the ground, it begins to burst, but if it is contaminated by this poisonous gas, the spiritual power in the body will flow at a certain speed, and the higher the cultivation, the faster it will pass. At the same time, this poison will invade the human body and cause irreversible damage to the meridians. Luckily, it only goes up, not down. Let's go!"
Wan Peng frowned, "Soul Eater, Spirit Eater, What is this?" Wan Peng had just finished asking Liyang, and a cultivator fell from his side, his face was miserable, his organs were twisted together, glowing with a pale green light, and he was already dead.
He didn't dare to stop at all, and he almost forgot about the problem just now, so he ran down. Damn, this thing is too poisonous, with its own small body, but it can't stand it......
As the green poisonous gas became thicker, there were cultivators in the sky who continued to fall downward, and some fell directly onto the stones, and the red and white flowed to the ground on the spot. Wan Peng's current speed has been raised to the extreme, and the wind is whistling in his ears.
But at this time, he realized that Lingyun Mountain, which used to be unhurried and could even be taken away by playing, was now descending, and it was actually so long!
The warning bell on the hill had already sounded, but it had only sounded twice, and a very unnatural sound was heard, and it was obvious that the bell tower had fallen. Wan Peng felt that the ground under his feet was sinking, and he was running, when a big crack suddenly opened in front of him, fortunately, Liyang had warned him that this situation might occur, so he jumped and dodged in time.
The further you go, the more often this happens. Wan Peng glanced back at the moment of rising, and the entire mountain surface had already risen a puff of earth mist, and above this, there was a thicker and thicker spirit phage.
Finally out of the mountain gate, and at the foot of the mountain, there are already ravines and ravines and rugged. Wan Peng saw that he was on the ground and moved forward one by one, and in the outer gate of the outer gate settlement, it was already in chaos, and there were countless people who were hit by falling rocks, fell from the air, and fell into the dirt pit and couldn't climb out.
Including the camp of the Eight Great Sect Coalition forces in the distance, it has now entered absolute alert, and the entire military camp is covered in a protective formation.
The shaking of the ground intensified, and as the widest furrow appeared in front of Wan Peng, it was almost to the point where it was impossible to stand firmly. With the help of spiritual power, Wan Peng used the rebound of the ground to rush out almost flat, because it was too far away, he didn't control his body in the air, and when he reached the opposite side, he lay directly on the ground.
At this time, it was already several thousand meters away from the foot of Lingyun Mountain. The shaking of the ground seemed to be much slighter on this side, and Wan Peng got up, and Liyang also told him that he was safe now. Turning around, Wan Peng's mouth opened wide in shock.
In his eyes, the entire Lingyun Mountain was sinking down little by little. A mountain is now shrinking downwards like a pile of mud!
This is a mountain, absolutely stony, and full of aura Lingyun Mountain, Lingyun Mountain that has not been weathered at all for thousands of years!
Wan Peng rubbed his eyes, making sure he was not mistaken. A feeling of desolation and loss suddenly rose in his heart. If Lingyun Mountain falls like this, it will eventually disappear, right? And he is, after all, a disciple of the Lingyun Sect.
The speed of Lingyun Mountain's sinking is getting faster and faster, and after a while, the entire mountain seems to be falling apart, and all the ground is scattered. The green Soul Eater, like a mask of light, floated above the wasteland that had flattened.
After about a pillar of incense, red magma surged from the ground, and there was no thick layer on the ground. Lingyun Mountain, which has stood majestically for thousands of years, has become a flat land at this moment!
Lingyun Mountain is gone, and the Lingyun Sect will naturally disappear! Wan Peng belongs to the early Liyang reminder, and fled to the bottom of the mountain, and the others, in this change, most of them will think of running to a high place, and the power of the spirit devouring agent is terrifying. Except for a few people who ran down by mistake, most of them had been reduced to bones in the magma, and there were no bones left.
Although the Lingyun faction itself did not have real preferential treatment, especially before that, he still wanted to make himself a scapegoat, but when he watched the collapse of his former master, Wan Peng still felt that he had no home. And thinking of a few good friends on the mountain, including Zhao Zhichuan, Bai Chao Bai Xi, Senior Sister Doudou, and Hou Ruoting, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Will they survive?
"Don't be so sentimental. Liyang persuaded him, "Maybe this is a fixed number." After the Lingyun Sect has grown for so many years, there will always be a catastrophe, similar to the tribulation of cultivating immortals. Some calamities can be crossed, and some cannot. Besides, you're not safe right now. ”
"I'm not safe? Why? Are you saying that those evil cultivators influenced by Li Yuanshan will continue to hunt me down?" He was still walking to the periphery at this time, because he felt that Lingyun Mountain was a poisonous pit now, and the closer he got to it, the more likely it was to be affected.
"It's not just that. What I want to say is about the relationship between the Soul Eater and you. Liyang's tone became indifferent again.
Speaking of the Spirit Devouring Worm, Wan Peng couldn't help but shudder. "What does it have to do with me?"
"Remember that at the beginning, your original Tianxing Grass was poisoned by someone?" Liyang's tone had a very strong aftertaste, "That is, almost at the same time, or not long before and after, I told you, Lingyun Mountain, there is a kind of insect that has begun to grow." ”
When Liyang said this, Wan Peng did have an impression. At the time, he thought it was just bugs, just a threat to plants. "So, you already knew about this kind of outcome?"
Liyang seemed to chuckle, "Of course I know." The Spirit Devouring Insect was an ancient poisonous insect ten thousand years ago, and later after the rise of cultivators, it gradually disappeared, and only some evil sects would keep it. And because the Spirit Devouring Worm itself reproduces extremely quickly, and it feeds on spiritual mountains, affecting the survival of cultivators and demons, the sect that keeps this thing has been wiped out once, and then, it never appeared again. But some people believe that it did not disappear, but was taken to a place that was not in the cultivator realm and the demon realm. ”
"Not in the cultivator realm and the demon realm, where else can it be?"
"In the vast Xiaohai, there are so many continents, except for the cultivator realm and the demon realm, no one knows how many realms there are. Of course, the realm is just a concept, probably, there are both cultivator realms and demon realms on a continent, and on a continent, there is only a certain realm. Of course, none of this matters. The important thing is that in the Floating Cloud Continent, the Spirit Eater has returned. At the same time, your original Celestial Star Grass has also been poisoned by an ancient poison, even as old as the Soul Devouring Worm. It is called Tianxingsha, which is specially dyed with Tianxing grass, which can be said to be poisonous, or it can be said to be an infectious disease. In other words, it's possible that the Celestial Star Grass was unintentionally brought to the Celestial Star Grass, or it could be specifically aimed at you. If it's the former, it's not a big problem, and if it's the latter, do you think you can get away with it?"
Wan Peng was silent. After a while, he suddenly thought of a question, "If the Spirit Devouring Worm eats down the Spirit Cloud Mountain, won't it soon spread to the entire continent?"
