Chapter 222: Ghost Flame Zhu Guo
Chapter 222: Ghost Flame Zhu Guo
Cuong nodded gratefully, put away the parchment roll, and laid his grandfather's body on the ground, unable to find it all over his body.
showed a very disappointed look, and then raised his legs and strode towards this bottomless deep hole! Lin Yi and the others trotted barely to keep up with him!
Although this cave is dark, it is extremely wide, and four or five people can pass through it side by side, as this continues to go deeper, Lin Yi only feels that this cave is getting brighter and brighter, and after a while, they have entered a large hall that can accommodate hundreds of people!
The right entrance of this hall revealed a ray of light, which was very dazzling, and Lin Yi finally understood that the light was coming from this direction!
That Ah Qiang also felt very strange, as the back of the clan, although he had only been to this patriarch's forbidden place a few times, but he also remembered clearly, there was no light in this cave, because the holy tree could bear the best fruit in the darkest place.
Everyone quickly stepped forward to check, only to feel that the light was getting brighter and brighter, and there was a faint sound of water in front of them! Lin Yi and the others walked forward quickly, they didn't dare to make a sound.
"Who?" Yao Da shouted violently, and then saw that in the light in front of him, two black shadows were about to shoot away, but it was a step too late, and Yao Da's palms were already just slapping, up and down, blocking all their escape routes.
"Immortals, spare your life!" said a voice begging for mercy from the two dark shadows.
Lin Yi saw that there were already more than two monsters in Yao Da's hands, and this tiger's mouth happened to be pinched on the back of the neck, so that they didn't dare to resist at all, and could only make a sound of begging for mercy!
Lin Yi looked at these two monsters again, they were both human-headed python bodies, and their faces were very hideous. There was residual blood everywhere, and there was a strong bloody spot on the body.
There is no doubt that these two people are the monsters of the water tribe, looking at the blood on the body, as well as the small mound of dirt faintly piled up in front of them, there is a very strong fishy smell. These two monsters should be eating the corpses of these Gan giants.
The enemies were very red when they saw each other, and they saw this Ah Qiang looking up to the sky and roaring angrily, and when he burst out, he smashed down with a hammer and went straight to the door in front of him. With his brute strength, this punch down, although this monster is a cultivator who refines himself and builds a foundation for the perfection realm. Even if you don't die, you can't afford to be seriously injured!
"Wait!These two monsters can't die for the time being!" Lin Yi said hurriedly, making a calming gesture to Ah Qiang. Although he was still a foot away from this Ah Qiang, he saw that as soon as he stretched out one hand, he ghostly grabbed the arm that Ah Qiang was about to raise. No one sees. How did he make a move, only Yao Da showed a very surprised expression in his eyes.
The next moment. This Ah Qiang's eyes are already scarlet as blood. Suddenly, he changed to a very surprised expression. This Lin Yi seemed to be grabbing carelessly, as if his body was being pressed by a huge mountain, he couldn't move a single bit! Even the bravest warrior in this Gan Giant tribe couldn't do this!
Cuong made a very strange sound in his mouth, with puzzlement, reverence and surprise!
"These two monsters must have been left by Zhang Chi. Secretly monitoring this holy place has prevented any fish from slipping through the net among this Gan giant tribe! If they were killed, that Zhang Chi would definitely know that the gains would outweigh the losses. It's just the trajectory of them!" Lin Yi said to this Ah Qiang.
After a while, after Guo Pu's explanation, this Ah Qiang showed a very admiring and shy and ashamed expression on his face, and he repeatedly made Lin Yi nod his head and apologize, he finally understood the meaning! If he let that Zhang Chi know, they would definitely be on guard, and if he wanted to kill them, it would be even more difficult!
As a primitive giant tribe, these Gan giants already admired the warriors very much, and Lin Yi's casual move made him even more admired. Although this Ah Qiang has developed limbs and a violent temperament, the simple truth in this is still clear at all.
"These two monsters, although they are capital crimes, but this living crime is inevitable!" As soon as Lin Yi's words fell, he made a demonstration to this Ah Qiang, and in an instant, each of these two monsters showed a very clear palm print on their faces!
That Ah Qiang, naturally, understood what it meant! Instantly jumped away, and each monster received more than a dozen palms on his face before stopping. Looking at these two half-human, half-python monsters, they are already unrecognizable, their facial features are already inhuman, their faces are even more hideous, and they can't even scream in the end!
After this lesson, these two monsters are naturally honest and greet all the situation! Of course, Lin Yi naturally knows this audit technique very well, and if he separates these two people, the same question, and the review alone, can naturally deduce whether they are lying or not!
If it was really as Lin Yi had guessed, these two people were the ones who stayed here to monitor what was going on, and kill all the fish that had slipped through the net! According to this requirement, if there was any disturbance, it would be reported to the Ninth Prince Zhang Chi immediately.
The light here is already a little dazzling, and the sound of water is even more murmuring. Lin Yi had already guessed that this place was not far from the entrance of the cave, and there should be a cliff outside the entrance, and the Ganjiang River should be below the cliff.
Lin Yi was really glad to have this Yao Da with him. He had already discovered the existence of these two monsters, but if he made a move, there was no guarantee that he would subdue these two people on the spot, if one of them was allowed to escape, with the ability of this water monster, as long as they reached the water's edge, the news would naturally be transmitted to Zhang Chi. If this is the case, then Zhang Chi will be fully prepared, and it will be even more difficult to come up with a surprise to hit him without a measure!
Lin Yi just stopped Ah Qiang in time and didn't let him kill these two monsters. He had already known that these two people should have left their natal lamps with Zhang Chi, and if they died accidentally, then Zhang Chi would naturally know about it. From the mouth of this monster, it really proves Lin Yi's guess.
These two people have evolved into half-human bodies, refining themselves and building a perfect foundation, which is equivalent to saying that one foot has stepped into the realm of refining and refining qi, and they are already regarded as the highest existence under this Zhang Chi, which shows that this Zhang Chi attaches great importance to this matter!
These two monsters also belong to the existence of the commander level under this pool, and they are the overlords of the waters. In this way, he was sent to the holy temple of this Gan giant, which shows the importance of this holy fruit to him.
A moment later, Lin Yi and the others followed Ah Qiang back to the main hall in the cave. There was indeed a huge passage in front of the hall, but it was too dark. Everyone was attracted by the lighted passage on the right.
Although the cave is very dark, Lin Yi can still see that this cave entrance is obviously different from other caves, after manual careful digging, the cave entrance is surrounded by neat stones. Looking at the traces of this cave, it is obvious that there should be a mechanism here, and this cave should be a secret passage. Lin Yi thought of it again, before entering the cave, Ah Qiang had been very anxious and careful to find this on his grandfather, which should be the token of the cave entrance mechanism.
Unexpectedly, the pool had already found this token from the old man and opened the mechanism. Perhaps he was in such a hurry that he forgot to close the mechanism again.
Lin Yi and the others had already guessed that this cave should be the holy temple of the Gan giant mentioned in the mouth of the water tribe monster, that is, the place where the holy fruit grows!
Seeing that Ah Qiang was very nervous and curious, Lin Yi had already guessed. This should also be the first time he has entered this holy temple, and it seems that this holy temple is extraordinary. Only clan elders or patriarchs can enter.
I walked into this hole for a few feet. Lin Yi felt that the yin wind in this cave was getting stronger and stronger, and the ghost wind was gusting, although it was still very dark, it was getting colder and colder, and the stone slabs around the wall also stopped abruptly and were replaced by a damp and soft ground.
With Lin Yi's physique, he can barely bear it. But seeing that Xu Xun, Guo Pu, Wei Jue and Ge Hong were already gritting their teeth, they couldn't help but shudder. Although Ah Qiang's performance is a little better than them, it is very ugly to look like this, and he is gritting his teeth and persevering. Only he and this Yao Dafang can be at ease.
Lin Yi at this time. I finally understood why this Gan Giant Temple strictly forbade ordinary disciples in the clan to enter, not only because of the treasures in it, but because the environment here was too dangerous and weird. These two water tribe demon cultivators, although their bodies are far stronger than those of the human race cultivators. But I don't want to stay in this place any longer. No wonder that Zhang Chi asked them to guard this holy temple, and did not arrange many subordinates, in addition to the fact that there are many people who will startle the snakes, and more importantly, the ordinary water monsters in this holy temple can't stay for long at all. And these two people were also derelict in their duties, and they were not willing to stay in this temple for a long time.
In an instant, Lin Yi slapped Guo Pu, Xu Xun, Wei Jue, Ge Hong and Ah Qiang on the back, and suddenly their whole bodies were surrounded by a red light mask, and they hurriedly cast grateful glances. Although Lin Yi's golden qi could only not eliminate the cold yin qi in this cave, it could reduce the damage they suffered after all.
However, after all, there is a time limit for this golden qi, and Lin Yi and the others hurriedly speed up. The cave was really getting colder and colder, and there was a ghostly wind in his ears, and Lin Yi felt like he was on the way to the underworld.
In less than a stick of incense, Lin Yi and the others saw the starlight shining in the dark cave in front of them, as if there were fireflies flickering, and as if they were phosphorus fire.
Lin Yi and the others hurriedly quickened their pace, and the space in this cave was getting bigger and bigger, with gusting winds and cold winds, as if they were walking in this hell. After a while, I finally walked before the phosphorus fire, and it turned out that I had reached the end of this cave, and at the end of this cave was a very wide hall. Everyone finally understood that this shining thing was the so-called holy fruit in the mouth of this Gan giant. More than a dozen fist-sized vermilion fruits floated and shifted in the air.
Wei Jue couldn't help but was about to open this fire fold, but was quickly pulled by Lin Yi and said to everyone: "The situation here is unknown, the air smells strong, I'm afraid it is extremely flammable, and it may even cause an explosion!
Everyone nodded again and again, although it was pitch black here, Lin Yi and the others followed the constantly shining phosphorescence, and still saw the general situation in this cave.
It turned out that this big hall was in the middle, there was a towering tree, it was difficult for two people to hug, it was only a few zhang high, full of branches, the strange thing was that this big tree did not have a leaf, the white fork shone with cold light, as if it was a section of the skeleton, inserted into the walls around this cave, and the huge trunk grew directly into this mountain, as if to hold up this cave, and as if the whole mountain was one. This should be the sacred tree among these Gan giant tribes. Lin Yi is unheard of, there is such a strange tree in the world, contrary to the principle of nature, not only growing in the ground. It also grows branches and trunks into this mountain.
"In this world, all the heavenly treasures live in the most sinister and harsh place in this environment, and the environment that ordinary people can hardly bear, it is true!" Guo Pu sighed as he looked at the strange scene in front of him.
It was on the branches of this sacred tree that the fruits were constantly flickering, and it was no wonder that at first they felt as if they were living creatures, constantly moving.
The bottom of the trunk was like a fountain, and the smoke was pouring up along the trunk. Infiltrate the mountain. This smoke is highly poisonous, Lin Yi and the others held their breath, and when they got closer, there were piles of skeletons of unknown animals under this tree trunk!
Lin Yi had already guessed that the miasma emitted by these roots should be the miasma. I'm afraid that the miasma in this entire primeval forest comes from this place. This sacred tree is the source of that miasma.
Lin Yi felt incredible. What a miracle of nature. This big tree is supposed to rely on the corpses of all the animals and plants in this primeval forest to grow, not only growing very strange fruits, but also emitting countless miasma. Lin Yi finally understood, no wonder this place was so gloomy, he couldn't imagine that this sacred tree was actually the corpses of these animals and plants. It's just strange that the sacred tree doesn't know how to pull the corpses above the surface into the ground. And what will be done with the piles of skeletons under the trunk? Looking at the trunk like white bones, Lin Yi finally realized, but he was afraid that these trunks and branches were all transformed by this white bone.
It makes sense of common sense. Miasma is a poisonous gas produced by the decay of animals and plants in tropical primeval forests, mainly due to the lack of effective disposal of dead animal carcasses and the high temperature and rainy climate. Therefore, most of the miasma in the mountains and forests of Lingnan is so painful, and ordinary people can't even touch it. Lin Yi finally understood the truth of this, it turned out that this holy tree had absorbed so much corpse qi in this forest, no wonder it was so domineering.
"Ghost Flame Zhuguo!" Ge Hong, who had already stared at the sacred tree motionless, suddenly opened his mouth with a dull face, and he recognized the name of the sacred tree.
Without waiting for everyone to speak, he gushed endlessly: "Legend has it that under the 100,000 mountains in Lingnan, there is a strange tree growing in a cold and cold place underground, called the skeleton tree, which is more suitable than a tree, and it is said that this kind of tree is specially designed to absorb the corpses of all animals and plants in the mountains, and even the trunk and fork are all combined by absorbing the skeletons of these corpses! It is said that this skeleton tree blooms and bears fruit in a year. When it matures in a year, the young fruit withers at the sight of light, flickering like phosphorus fire, and if it is ripe, it will naturally fall off. ”
"The sacred tree in front of me is the same as described in this legend. I thought this was just a legendary existence, but I didn't expect that in this lifetime, I would really be lucky enough to see this skeleton tree! This skeleton tree itself is not of much value, but it has only released countless poisonous miasma for this surface, but the result is actually the legendary Ghost Flame Zhuguo, which is a rare bone refining elixir in the world. Because this Ghost Flame Zhuguo is to absorb the bone marrow essence in these countless corpse bones and grow in the cold environment, this elixir for refining bones and washing the marrow is not only a great increase in physical strength, but also can refine bones and improve the toughness and strength of the bones in the whole body!" Ge Hong continued.
This Ge Hong has been very obsessed with medicine since he was a child, and he is also familiar with these strange flowers and plants in the world.
"Look at this young fruit that can already be the size of a fist, the red phosphorus fire has only flashed once in a few breaths, but I am afraid that it will not take long to ripen!" Lin Yi was also very excited. At this moment, he finally understood that although this Gan giant clan didn't know what method of cultivating the truth, why everyone was washed and cut the marrow, especially the infinite strength and iron bones.
"Yes, according to the current situation, I'm afraid it won't take long, at least three or four days, at most ten days and a half months!" Ge Hong also replied.
When Ah Qiang saw this sacred tree, he was naturally very respectful and excited. At this moment, it was finally wah-wow yelling. After Guo Pu's translation, Lin Yi and the others finally understood what he meant, five days later, at the triennial hunting meeting of the Gan giants, all the boys in the tribe who reached the age of 12 could get a holy fruit, and all the people in other tribes, according to the number of prey per person, the warriors in the front could also get a holy fruit! According to this time, I am afraid that after these four or five days, this holy fruit will be ripe.
"If this is calculated, that pool will inevitably come to this holy temple in four or five days! As long as we hide in this holy temple and attack it by surprise, no matter how many treasures there are on this pool, I am afraid that it will be difficult to return alive!" Xu Xun suddenly spoke.
"Yes, I also have this intention! It's just that this specific matter, how not to let this Zhang Chi arouse a trace of suspicion, we have to discuss it carefully! In that battle that day, this Zhang Chi was mainly entangled with the three of us, I don't know if he found out about the existence of this Ah Qiang, will he think that we and this Gan giant clan already know each other! Now it seems that it is still unknown! However, according to the current situation, before this Ghost Flame Zhu Guo matures, Zhang Chi will definitely not leave too far! What we can do now is to quickly find the hiding place of this pool, and keep attacking this water tribe, so that he will naturally not suspect that we have already laid a trap in this holy temple for him to drill!" Lin Yi replied. (To be continued......)
