Chapter 163: Inquire about the news
After wandering around the market, Zhou Nan bought some news on the bright side and came to a teahouse. The business of this teahouse is very hot, although the spiritual tea is not very good, but there are many people.
Ordered a pot of spiritual tea worth ten lower grade spirit stones, Zhou Nan found a place by the window on the first floor, and while playing with the teacup, he pricked up his ears and listened. Sure enough, it didn't take long for a lot of news about the snake swamp ghost to penetrate his ears densely.
This is the closest market to the Snake Swamp Ghost Snake, and many immortal cultivators who enter and leave the Snake Swamp Ghost Snake will come here to rest and recuperate. Drink tea, chat, buy something, make a purchase. Then, retreat after retreat, continue to explore and explore, each doing his own thing, and living a good life.
"Senior brother, I heard that the third junior brother has been missing in the snake swamp ghost snake for a long time, I wonder if the Dao is true?" Suddenly, a voice reached Zhou Nan's ears and caught his attention.
"Shhhhhh This matter was personally explained by the master, and the two of us were asked to go inside to find the third junior brother, do you think I am willing to go. ”
"Ah, senior brother, is there something hidden in this?"
"Hehe, it's more than secret. In the past six months, I don't know what happened to this snake swamp ghost snake, and there are often disappearances of immortal cultivators. Only the third junior brother, that fool, would run in stupidly for a woman, for a mere elixir, who would die if he didn't die?"
"Senior brother, tell me in detail, what happened?"
"It is said that a white bone python inside the snake swamp ghost snake seems to have broken through to the fifth order, and is frantically hunting the immortal cultivators inside. This is what the master said himself, otherwise I wouldn't know the way. ”
"What, fifth-order demon beast, obediently, then let's not go in. ”
The two talked enthusiastically, and they didn't know what to say at all, even if they were separated by a layer of sound shield, their words were heard clearly by Zhou Nan.
"Fifth-order demon beast, white bone python. It's kind of interesting. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and Zhou Nan smiled.
In this way, Zhou Nan stayed in the teahouse for a whole morning, until even the maid in the store thought he was very strange, Zhou Nan paid the spirit stone and left the teahouse slowly.
Out of Fang City, Zhou Nan hadn't walked long before he was stopped by two immortal cultivators in the early stage of foundation building. When the two saw that Zhou Nan didn't have the slightest breath on his body, they thought he was a soft persimmon. But unexpectedly, he kicked the iron plate, divided by two by three, and was cooked by Zhou Nan.
Without killing the two, Zhou Nan directly found a remote place and started the soul search technique.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhou Nan cleaned up the bodies of the two, walked out thoughtfully, opened the flying spring boots no longer staying, and quickly jumped towards the snake swamp ghost.
Although they didn't get any particularly useful information from the spirits of the two, both of them had been to the Snake Swamp Ghost Snake and still had some material in their heads. Therefore, Zhou Nan has also gained a little, and his understanding of the snake swamp ghost snake has deepened.
It's just that he didn't expect that on the territory of this Demon Sect, killing people and seizing treasures is so common. Therefore, this also reminded Zhou Nan that he should be careful and not careless. Otherwise, it is not impossible to capsize in the gutter.
There are not many entrances to the snake swamp ghost snake, and there are only three safe passages. Each one is guarded by disciples of the Blood Demon Sect. After all, the snake swamp ghost snake is within the scope of their sect, although it is not forbidden for others to enter, but this ticket still has to be bought.
After spending a hundred spirit stones, Zhou Nan got a green ring. This ring is engraved with a formation that can open the forbidden passage entrance. The entrance is in a slit in a valley, and outside is a small square. Many of the monks stayed there, still hesitating to go in.
Zhou Nan glanced at these people lightly, raised his feet and stepped into the square, and walked directly to the entrance. But before he could go far, he was stopped by three monks from the late stage of foundation building.
"A few fellow Daoists, what does this mean?" Zhou Nan stopped and said in a somewhat cold tone.
"Hehe, don't worry, fellow Daoists, we have no malicious intent. It's just that I'm planning to form a team to enter this snake swamp ghost, and now there is still one person left, can Daoyou join our team?" explained a middle-aged man with a smile on his face.
With a glance of his eyes, Zhou Nan looked at the frightened people around him, then slowly shook his head, let go of the three of them, and walked towards the entrance without saying a word.
The entrance to the passage is not large, and nothing can be seen with the naked eye alone. But as soon as Zhou Nan walked in, he felt a huge pressure. But at the moment when the pressure came, the green ring on his hand suddenly became hot, and Zhou Nan walked in without hindrance.
"Boss, just let this kid go. You don't look at the storage bags around his waist, they are all bulging. At first glance, he is a rich man. Shall we follow up and get rid of him?" said a strong man with one hand to wipe his neck, his face full of flesh.
"Hmph, go, catch up. Since that kid doesn't know what to do, he just abolished him. Originally, he wanted to only rob things and not hurt people, but since he didn't appreciate it, don't blame the old man for being ruthless. With that, the three of them came to the entrance and rushed in.
As soon as he entered, Zhou Nan frowned. This snake swamp ghost snake is indeed the same as rumored, gray sky, dense fog everywhere, and extremely low visibility. What's more, here, his divine thoughts were greatly suppressed. Although it is not as serious as the Valley of the Wind, the divine thoughts of Zhou Nanbali can only be released for less than a mile.
After walking forward for a while, all I saw were dead trees and dead grass, lying on the ground in all directions, dilapidated and unusual. Not long after moving forward, Zhou Nan found that the ground under his feet quickly softened. If you step on it, you will fall inside. The sludge has a lot of suction and is extremely difficult to pull out. If you accidentally fall inside, it will be difficult to survive with only manpower.
After testing for a while, Zhou Nan smiled slightly, and took out two wooden planks more than a foot long and half a foot wide from the storage bag, and tied them to the bottom of the flying spring boots. After getting it done, Zhou Nan jumped, and when he saw that his actions were still agile and not affected much, he nodded with satisfaction.
With the plank to increase the force area and reduce the pressure, Zhou Nan can easily move forward on the soft mud without worrying about sinking. In a short time, he skipped more than ten miles and officially entered the confines of the swamp.
The swamp is very deep, viscous, and smells violently fishy. How can the things that have been silted up for thousands of years rot and deteriorate without smelling? There are many unknown insects on the swamp, constantly wandering, constantly flapping their wings, buzzing, and those who listen are upset.
The swamp was desolate and unusual, with some long black aquatic plants growing horizontally and vertically, which were pulled diagonally on the water surface, crisscrossing and crisscrossing them, seriously blocking the view. From time to time, there are many grasshoppers, leeches, mud turtles and other slightly larger animals, jumping out of the water, splashing a large sludge, stinking to the sky.
What's even more odious is that for some reason, there are strange whimpering sounds in the air from time to time. Just like a ghost crying wolf, a person with a weak soul will feel inexplicable sadness when he hears too much, and unconsciously end his life.
This kind of place is typically a ghost that escapes from it.
Zhou Nan's mind was full of thoughts, and he walked very carefully. But before he could go, he frowned and stared behind him. I saw that three small black dots were flying towards him at a fast speed.
Because of the transformation of the cultivation body, Zhou Nan could not fly. In this kind of terrain, it is very disadvantageous. Soon, the three black dots flew within the range of his divine thoughts. Seeing the person clearly, Zhou Nan smiled coldly, stopped moving forward, stood in place, and waited indifferently.
After a short time, the three of them flew above Zhou Nan and surrounded him.
The person who came was not good, Zhou Nan Dalu laughed, and he was not ambiguous, he directly pulled out the sealed dragon coffin, stepped on it fiercely, and in the flash of silver light, a large piece of fishy mud splashed up, killing the middle-aged man led by him.
Seeing that Zhou Nan didn't say a word, he shot directly. The faces of the three of them sank, and they hurriedly sacrificed a few spiritual weapons and beckoned to Zhou Nan. When the spirit weapon came, Zhou Nan didn't care, just waved the dragon coffin fiercely. Suddenly, with the loud sound of two overlapping 'bangs', there were two medium-grade spiritual weapons, which were violently smashed into pieces by Zhou Nan.
With the grade of the sealed dragon coffin at this time, it would not take much effort to smash these medium-grade spiritual weapons. Seeing that Zhou Nan destroyed his spiritual weapon as soon as he made a move, the middle-aged man suddenly felt a heartache. But before he could react, Zhou Nan kicked him with a thunderous kick, kicked him off the flying sword, and fell towards the swamp.
borrowed a force from the middle-aged man, Zhou Nan turned the direction with a gorgeous twist, and with the amazing elasticity of the flying spring boots, he killed the other two...
A quarter of an hour later, Zhou Nan settled the battle and landed on top of a dead tree trunk. He looked at the battlefield.
But just by glancing, Zhou Nan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he frowned.
I saw that the middle-aged man who had landed on the ground disappeared without a trace. There was nothing left on the sludge except for a large lump of blackened blood that still remained. Although the devouring speed of this swamp was fast, it was impossible to wipe out an immortal cultivator in the late stage of foundation building so easily.
It can be seen that there must be something else that unknowingly concealed his perception just now and cleaned up the middle-aged man. In this kind of place, Zhou Nan's divine thoughts are severely restricted, and it is not surprising that this kind of thing happens.
