As Hao Yun and his party went deeper and deeper into the Southern Spirit Realm, they encountered more and more dangers. Fortunately, all they encountered were indigenous monsters, so they survived without any danger. The indigenous monsters have lived in the Southern Spiritual Realm for such a long time. Therefore, these monsters have formed a daily living habit. Perhaps because there are dangers everywhere in the Southern Spiritual Realm, these monsters rarely attack recklessly. They, therefore, gave them a chance to fight hard. Otherwise, Hao Yun could only use the Time Technique to escape.
The performance of the indigenous monsters made Hao Yun and the others a little puzzled. Huo Kuang said that these indigenous monsters were all crazy beasts. As a result, the monsters they encountered along the way were quite cautious, even if they were crazy. But it can always be suppressed at critical moments. To be honest, Hao Yun and his group were able to survive thanks to these monsters who kept a thin line everywhere. Otherwise, this journey would have been really difficult.
To this end, Hao Yun and the others held a special discussion. The core of the problem was whether the ecosystem of the Southern Spirit World had undergone major changes. After all, this journey is very different from what Huo Kuang said. To put it bluntly, what Huo Kuang said is almost always wrong. For example, as they went deeper and deeper, the volcanic environment, which was originally full of magma lakes, changed dramatically. From being barren at the beginning, to now they were in a forest environment with lush foliage. It's not that the trees here have weird colors, and the streams or puddles in the forest are steaming, they would think that this is just a very common forest in the spiritual world. Z.br>
Now that there are forests, there have been great changes in the natural ecology. The most important thing is that there are very rich biological species. This can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes from when they first entered the Southern Spirit World. Fortunately, in the forest, most animals and plants pose no threat to them, which makes them feel much more at ease walking in the forest.
"Wow, life is so tenacious. Normally, the environment in the Southern Spiritual Realm is too harsh. However, such harshness cannot stop the evolution of life. It can even form such a lush forest environment. It shows that the environment of life is so harsh. It’s really admirable how strong your adaptability is!” After everyone was surprised, Hao Yun had some insights and sighed like this.
"It is indeed powerful. So, those indigenous monsters have become less crazy. Is it also because of evolution?" Wanwan tilted her head and looked at Hao Yun.
"It's impossible to say for sure, but logically speaking, the evolution of life should be based on the principle of survival of the fittest. That is to say, all the monsters that are not adapted should be eliminated, and the monsters that survive are the ones that have adapted. The environment in the Southern Spiritual Realm." Hao Yun replied.
"It's a matter of survival of the fittest. If you say so, those crazy monsters only know how to fight and kill. Over time, no matter how powerful the monsters are, they will be scarred and they will definitely not live long. Only these monsters can successfully control their own behavior. Only animals can know how to advance and retreat, and know the choices, so that they can survive well." Yao Li also felt deeply.
"Yes, in fact, our demon race is the same. Those races with bad tempers were all exterminated. The remaining demon races are basically tolerant races. This should also be in line with the principle of survival of the fittest." Xingyun came from the demon race. Departs, giving her opinion.
"Haha, survival of the fittest applies everywhere. It reflects that we humans are the same. Cultivators with bad tempers and inability to tolerate will not survive." Hao Yun laughed.
After all, this is the law of the forest taking effect, just like the forest they are in now. Along the way, Hao Yun and the others felt signs of life everywhere, but these lives just did not appear in front of them easily. . It can be seen that these beings know that caution is the prerequisite for survival, and being able to defeat curiosity shows that these beings also have the wisdom to survive.
Huo Kuang became a little silent along the way. After all, along the way, he discovered that there had been such a huge change in the Southern Spiritual World, and he also needed to digest it. While Hao Yun and the others were having a heated discussion, Huo Kuang finally sent his spiritual consciousness to join their exchange.
"The spiritual energy here has also changed. I feel it is no longer as violent as before." Huo Kuang said.
"I feel the same way. After all, so many years have passed and so many biological species have appeared here. Especially the plants here are so lush, which will definitely cause environmental changes.
Changing. "Hao Yun has felt it for a long time, but he didn't dare to easily contact the spiritual energy from the outside world, otherwise it would be bad if it had an impact on his body.
"Yes, the plants here are indeed the main reason. However, I don't understand. The Southern Spirit World was a barren land before. How come there are so many plants now?" Huo Kuang asked in confusion.
"I think it's probably man-made." Hao Yun replied casually.
Hao Yun's answer was completely unintentional, but after Huo Kuang heard it, he became silent again. Hao Yun and his group were walking through the forest, but they were never attacked by monsters, which made them less and less vigilant. Although they could feel life peeping at them from time to time, this feeling was fleeting, so they did not really pay attention to it, thinking that it was just some little creatures in the forest observing them in the dark.
Traveling through the forest would definitely affect their speed. In addition, they were carrying a magic circle, so everyone needed to keep their actions consistent, which made it even harder for them to go faster. At this time, everyone had an idea, wouldn't it be better if it could fly?
Fly, Hao Yun and the others can fly. After all, there is spiritual energy in the Southern Spiritual World. Although Hao Yun and the others cannot directly absorb and utilize this spiritual energy, the spiritual energy as a carrier can still make their bodies float. Besides, due to the existence of the magic circle for converting spiritual energy, there is a large amount of spiritual energy around them that can be used. Therefore, if they want to fly, there is definitely no problem. They just need to be careful that the flying speed cannot be too fast, otherwise the spiritual energy in the magic circle will be very small. It's easy to leak out.
On the issue of flying, Hao Yun and the others reached a consensus that they would not fly if they could. The reason was that they were afraid of the dangers of flying in the air. There must be demonic beasts that are good at flying in the Southern Spirit World. Even if they fly up, their speed will be relatively slow. Moreover, if four people fly together, their target will be particularly obvious. If they are targeted by the demonic beasts, the gain will outweigh the losses. In the final analysis, cultivators will feel more confident when they keep their feet on the ground. If they fly, they will often lose their advantage when competing with monsters that are good at flying. In fact, the monsters are only one reason, and more importantly, there are always thick clouds covering the entire Southern Spirit World in the low altitude of the Southern Spirit World, and purple lightning will appear in the clouds from time to time. Huo Kuang also specifically reminded them that if they were hit by lightning, even Wanwan, who possesses the thunder and lightning technique, might not be able to withstand it, and the others would definitely feel even more uncomfortable. .
For safety reasons, everyone could only walk in the forest on foot. As they went deeper and deeper, the gaps between the trees in the forest became smaller and smaller, making their movement slower and slower. As a result, Wanwan, who was walking behind the magic circle, was accidentally stung by a protruding tree root. Just when she was about to fall, a vine struck Wanwan's body.
Because it was so sudden, everyone realized something was wrong when the vines surrounded Wanwan's body. However, it was already too late at this time. A large number of snake-like vines appeared around everyone. , launched a crazy attack on them.
Wanwan's body flashed with electric light, and a pair of gray wings stretched out behind her. Wanwan subconsciously wanted to use electric shock to get rid of the entanglement of the rattan. Unfortunately, the electric shock had no effect on the rattan, and the rattan just followed her. Like a giant python, it tightened around Wanwan's waist and abdomen and began to tighten hard. Wanwan was obviously a little overwhelmed by this sudden attack. Although she used the thunder and lightning technique in time, the electric shock, which had always been easy to use, had no effect, which made her even more panicked. .
"Hurry up and chop with your sword!" Hao Yun shouted loudly to Wanwan.
Hao Yun was also busy resisting the attacks of the canes and could not spare any time to help Wanwan. Of course, if he used the time method, he would definitely be able to help Wanwan. However, Hao Yun discovered that the attacks of these canes were not very powerful. , but the number of rattans is really too much.
After hearing Hao Yun's reminder, Wanwan remembered that in addition to lightning attacks, she could also use physical attacks. The pair of wings on Wanwan's back quickly began to deform, and soon a big knife appeared in Wanwan's right hand. Wanwan swung her knife downwards and slashed down on the cane wrapped around her body. A deep cut was made on the cane. Wanwan saw purple-black liquid flowing out of the cut on the cane, dripping.
On the ground, a puff of thick smoke rose up.
Wanwan was shocked, but fortunately the juice did not flow to her body. Such a strong corrosive force may not be worse than Yao Li's dark spiritual power. Wanwan's chop had an effect, the cane let go of Wanwan's entanglement, and Wanwan took the opportunity to fly quickly.
Yao Li used the dark space to resist the attack of these rattans from the beginning. As a result, the effect was very bad. These rattans were like leeches, lying on the dark space and directly wrapped Yao Li. Yao Li discovered that these rattans were not afraid of the corrosiveness of dark spiritual power at all. Not only that, these rattans were also trying their best to absorb her own dark spiritual power. This discovery shocked Yao Li and made her at a loss. She thought, how can she get rid of these hateful rattans?
Hao Yun originally planned to use the dark space to cooperate with Yao Li, but he soon discovered that something was wrong. These canes were not afraid of the dark spiritual power at all. Fortunately, Huo Kuang reminded him in time and asked him not to use magic tricks and try physical attacks directly. Hao Yun took out a replica of the gold-cutting sword from the storage ring. After hacking it for a while, he found that it had indeed had a huge effect. The replica of the gold-cutting sword was originally very sharp, and wherever it touched, these vines would break. After Hao Yun got rid of the rattan around him, he quickly came to Yao Li's side.
After Hao Yun cut a gap, he ducked into Yao Li's dark space. Hao Yun raised his hand and threw a sword to Yao Li.
"Stop using space, just use your sword to cut!" Hao Yun reminded.
"What's going on? Why aren't these things afraid of the dark spiritual power?" Yao Li asked as she took the sword and started chopping.
"Hey, not only is this thing not afraid of dark spiritual power, it is probably also insensitive to attacks from other spiritual powers." Hao Yun said, waving his sword.
It turned out that Huo Kuang was more timely. He discovered that these rattans felt very much like blood-sucking vines. In other words, if these rattans were really blood-sucking vines, not to mention dark spiritual power, all spiritual attacks would be useless. Ways to hurt them. Fortunately, these rattans were not real vampire vines, so Fire Maniac discovered that the flaw of these rattans was that they were afraid of physical attacks.
Hao Yun and Yao Li finally cleared away all the rattan wrapping the space, and found that more rattan stretched out.
"Fly up quickly, there are too many canes." Wanwan flew above the forest and said to Hao Yun and Yao Li below.
When Hao Yun and Yao Li also flew up, they discovered that Xingyun had teleported into the air immediately. She did not compete with the canes at all and just dodged them.
