"Bao Xiang." With an exclamation, Wu Gen rushed to the place where Bao Xiang disappeared. On the originally hard ground, a quagmire with a radius of several feet suddenly appeared, and Baoxiang fell into it.
Gululu, Bao Xiang struggled hard in the mud, taking a few mouthfuls of mud from time to time, and holding a sword high in his hand.
The five people rushed to the edge of the swamp and looked at the treasure elephant floating in the swamp. They were helpless for a moment. Seeing that the treasure elephant was about to sink into it, Wu Gen was in a hurry, secretly using his luck, and activated his magic technique to fly across the mud like a dragonfly touching water. When he got close to the treasure elephant, he stretched out his hand and grabbed it, trying to lift it out of the mire.
Ke Baoxiang's body seemed to be caught by someone, and a huge force came from it, almost dragging Wu Gen into the mire.
"Wu Gen, you stepped on my halberd." Shui Congyue said loudly, the halberd stretched out into the mire, and the tip of the halberd just reached Bao Xiang's head. Wu Gen hurriedly stepped forward on the halberd pole, stood tremblingly on the tip of the halberd, reached out and grabbed Bao Xiang's exposed hand.
That strange force came again, dragging the treasure elephant downwards. What the hell, hey, Wu Gen used his strength in his hands and after several battles with the strange power, he finally pulled the treasure elephant out of the mire bit by bit.
As soon as his head appeared, Baoxiang shouted loudly, "Wu Gen, hurry up, there is something pulling me down here." Sure enough, there was something strange. At this time, Qi He walked around to the side of the swamp, swung his broad sword, and a sword aura slanted Cutting into the mire, he just avoided Bao Xiang's body.
There was a tremor under the swamp, and green muddy water gushes out of the swamp. The swamp continued to surge, and more than a dozen long beards as thick as arms came out, wrapping around Bao Xiang's body in circles, swaying around, trying to drag Bao Xiang into it again.
Wu Gen's pressure suddenly increased greatly, and the pulling force was countless times greater. Under the shaking of his long beard, his body began to sway involuntarily on the tip of the halberd.
At the edge of the swamp, Shui Congyue's face was slightly red, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead. He could only hold on to the end of the halberd pole. He had no strength at all, so he could only grit his teeth and hold on to prevent Wu Gen from falling into the swamp.
The bridge team gestured with the snake sculpture, but did not dare to activate it. If it hit Bao Xiang, it would be a big joke.
Seeing that there was still a long beard trying to roll up to him and the euphorbia, Wu Gen was furious, "What the hell do you dare to bully me?" He grabbed the treasure elephant with one hand and slashed out with the broken knife in the other hand.
Hey, after the sword energy passed, the long beards were cut off one after another. But soon more long beards emerged from the mud, like long snakes, rushing towards Baoxiang and Wu Gen.
Wu Gen was also a little in a hurry at this time. Although these long beards didn't look very powerful, the trouble was that they couldn't be cut off.
"Wu Gen, I'll catch Bao Xiang, and you cut off his long beard." Feng'er suddenly shouted, and his body had turned into a big bird.
"Okay. I'll try to cut off as many long beards as possible, and you can rescue Bao Xiang." Wu Gen responded loudly, swinging the broken knife in his hand quickly and cutting off most of Bao Xiang's long beards. While the new long beard has not yet stretched out. Feng'er spread its wings and flew out quickly against the swamp. The bird's claws grabbed Baoxiang's body and pulled it hard, finally pulling it out of the swamp.
"Okay." Wu Gen shouted excitedly and waved his knife to cut off Feng'er's back. Feng'er quickly flew towards the opposite side, but when she turned around, her long tail hit Wu Gen.
Wu Gen staggered, his feet slipped, fell from the tip of the halberd, and fell into the mire. Once he entered the mire, those long beards lost their control and quickly wrapped around Wu Gen.
For a moment, everyone who was relieved was a little surprised by this sudden change. Feng'er, who had just put Bao Xiang down, looked back and was shocked, and hurried back again, trying to catch Wu Gen. But this time Chang Xu seemed to have learned his lesson. He pulled Wu Gen down quickly and quickly disappeared under the muddy water, leaving only a few bubbles floating on the mud surface.
Several people were a little dumbfounded. They didn't expect that just as one person was rescued, another person fell down. Qi He was about to jump down to rescue, but was stopped by Shui Congyue. "Feng'er." Shui Congyue's face turned livid, he took back his halberd and pointed it at the swamp, "Bake it dry."
Saying that, regardless of other people's reactions, he picked up the halberd and chopped it down on the ground beside the swamp. This swamp doesn't look like it's natural, it must be caused by a monster. If you want to rescue Wu Gen, if you can't enter the quagmire, just dig it out. The other is to use Feng'er's firepower to burn the swamp dry. Even if it cannot be burned dry, it cannot be burned dry.
Let those long beards roam freely.
Qi He and others saw Shui Congyue's intention and rushed over with weapons in hand. Shui Congyue has reached the level of cultivation in the four realms. Every time the spurge is swung down, several squares of earth are dug out. With the help of Qi He and others, a large ditch was soon dug out, and the turbid muddy water flowed out along the ditch.
Feng'er seemed to regret her mistake just now, spitting out blazing flames from her mouth, burning the mire. Smoke and mist mixed with each other on the swamp, and soon a layer of hard mud appeared, firmly binding those long beards that were ready to move.
As the trench deepens, the muddy water flows outward faster and faster. The mud slab fell quickly, but was shattered by Shui Congyue and others, revealing the mud. Feng'er spurted out flames again and evaporated the muddy water. Even the holly bird was not far behind, sticking its butt out and spitting out strings of slender flames.
Repeatedly, with everyone smashing and removing the mud, the mud in the swamp quickly decreased, and a large pit three feet deep was exposed on the ground. There are long whiskers crisscrossing the bottom of the pit, and two yellowish-brown human figures can be vaguely seen hugging each other, like fish rolling in muddy water. One of them was covered with a thick layer of long beards of different thicknesses, and he still struggled to hug the other person and bite him non-stop.
The water rushed in from the first one in Yue, stepping on the waist-deep mud and slashing at the long beards that were still squirming. Baoxiang, Qihe, and Qiaoban also rushed in, slashing with their axes and swords, cutting off all the long beards at the bottom of the pit.
After picking up the two human-shaped clay figures, Wu Gen still bit his long beard and refused to let go. As soon as he was released from the restraints, Wu Gen shouted loudly, "It's a good thing to catch that damn thing."
Baoxiang pounced on the clay figurine fiercely and pulled the clay figurine out, with long roots trailing behind it.
When they got outside the mud pit, they cleaned the mud off the clay figures. What appeared in front of them was a human-shaped rhizome, just like the Polygonum multiflorum that had grown in the mountains for many years.
Wu Gen tore off the few remaining long beards on his body. These long beards had tried to penetrate into his body, but they hurriedly withdrew after encountering the remaining chaos, thus saving his life.
"This thing is great, chop it up." Wu Gen jumped up and pointed at the humanoid rhizome on the ground. Just now in the mud pit, his body was restrained, and he could only bite with his mouth in desperation. Unexpectedly, as soon as the juice entered the belly, a soft breath spread through the body, making the injured body feel extremely comfortable.
Looking at this slightly brown, very similar to life-like rhizome that is still squirming, Shui Congyue is really hard to swallow. Qiao Ban and Qi He also have disgust on their faces. This thing looks too similar to a human. Some, the hurdle in my heart is really difficult to jump over.
Only Baoxiang roared and pounced on it, tearing off an arm of the rhizome without any scruples and chewing it up. Without him, he was almost swallowed by this ghost just now, how could he not be angry.
"Eat, eat, eat." Wu Gen greeted a few people, then stepped forward and chopped off a piece with a broken knife, chewing it like a radish.
After a long time, when they saw that the two of them were enjoying their food, Shui Congyue and others tentatively took a small piece into the mouth. Sure enough, as soon as this thing enters the mouth, a sweet feeling is felt, and a soft feeling of life is generated in the belly, which slowly spreads from the abdomen to the whole body. Wherever it passes, all the bones will spring up and the meridians will be smooth. This business penetrates into the bone marrow and blends into the blood, and the hidden wounds in the body are quietly healed. It was so magical that everyone looked surprised.
Soon, a huge piece of human-shaped rhizome was eaten by several people, but Baoxiang believed that he had suffered the most, and he hugged the largest piece and refused to let go.
Wu Gen patted his bulging belly. There was still some green juice on the corner of his mouth, and he looked refreshed. This was the most enjoyable meal he had ever had since entering Dayizhou. The feeling of spring is rippling all over my body, like rain moistening the heaven and earth.
Finally, Baoxiang put all the roots into his belly, walked lazily in front of Wu Gen, and just opened his mouth, a stream of green air spurted out from his mouth. Suddenly, his eyes widened, and his heartbeat gradually became louder, so that his whole body was shaking.
Clenching his fists with both hands, Baoxiang roared loudly, veins popped out on his head, and the flesh and blood on his body undulated like ripples with his heartbeat. Without waiting for Wu Gen to ask questions, Baoxiang ran wildly to a deserted place, and the two hands behind him also appeared at the same time.
Dong Dong Dong, Baoxiang beat the ground hard. For a moment, there was a dull rumbling sound underground
The sound is like a cow turning over.
"What's going on?" Wu Gen looked at Baoxiang's movements curiously.
"He should be about to break through. He has the blood of heaven and humans in his body. It is difficult to break through. That's why he stayed in the second realm for so long. But it's okay. The accumulation is getting deeper and deeper. I didn't expect to break through the realm today." Shui Congyue. He opened his mouth to explain, with a hint of envy in his words. He has fought life and death and has not yet broken through, and others just need to eat a meal. I have to say, comparing people to each other is really infuriating.
Wu Gen clapped his hands hard and said bitterly: "This kid eats the most. No wonder he can break through. No, next time I catch this thing, I will eat more. Maybe I can catch up with you from Cong Yue."
Shui Congyue just wanted to taunt, but when he saw the burning blood coming out of Wu Gen's body, he couldn't help but change his mind and said, "We should grab more. Even if we can't break through, it is very rare to eliminate internal injuries and replenish the essence. I once I have read in a book that there is a spiritual herb named Renling, which belongs to the genus of Orchid. After growing for many years, the rhizome resembles a human shape. It contains the two properties of wood and water, which can nourish blood and Qi, and strengthen the body and bones. It is a rare sacred item for martial artists. . I think the thing I caught today should be similar to it."
The two were discussing when suddenly Qi He hurried over, looking anxious, "Wu Gen, Feng'er suddenly fell unconscious for some reason."
Several people were stunned for a moment, and then they remembered that everyone was feasting here, but Feng'er was never seen.
Following Qi He, he came to a bush and saw Feng'er collapsed on the ground, her body curled up and shaking. There was blood flowing out of all the seven orifices, and only the air left, and no air in, as if she had been seriously injured. . If Qi He hadn't discovered it in time, he might have died here.
When Qi He found Feng'er just now, he was also startled. He thought he had been plotted against someone and did not dare to move at will, so he hurriedly looked for Wu Gen.
"Are there any injuries on the body?" Wu Gen asked. Qi He quickly replied, "There is no obvious trauma, and it doesn't look like he was poisoned. He is just unconscious."
Wu Gen and Shui Congyue looked at each other and shook their heads. Except for a few people, there should be no outsiders here. It is possible that they encountered a surprise attack by a strange beast. But with Feng'er's skill, he could take it down silently, and probably no one else present would be able to escape. What's more, no one heard any unusual fighting.
Seeing Qi He's frightened look, Wu Gen's mind moved. He walked up to Feng'er and put his finger on his forehead. After a moment, Wu Gen looked back with a serious face, "Everyone, step back, including you, Qi He."
Everyone saw something was wrong and quickly moved away some distance. Wu Gen closed his eyes slightly and muttered something. After a while, he leaned down and whispered a few words, and then turned around and said, "Qihe, take him back. There should be nothing serious."
