As soon as he opened his mouth, he heard the sound of a solid body breaking under his feet. Fortunately, Miss Murong had followed his warning and used Qing Kung to dodge. Although Gu Xiao was still alert, he could not use Qing Kung and could only He watched helplessly as the huge branch broke through the ground and stabbed straight into his chest...
Seeing that he was helpless, he was about to grit his teeth and use the method of closing the acupuncture points again, forcing himself to activate his body's potential... At the critical moment, Murong Wu, who had dodged away, jumped over and finally caught the young man before the giant branch stabbed him. The young man pulled his clothes apart and backed away for more than ten feet before the two of them settled down.
Even though he was not stabbed by the giant branch, Gu Xiao's shirt on his chest was slightly scratched by the strong wind from the giant branch. He felt that the sharpness almost cut through his chest. He quickly turned around and spoke to remind the woman behind him.
"Miss Murong, don't be careful, this giant branch is extremely sharp..."
Before he finished speaking, he felt that the ground beneath his feet was shaking. Before he could lower his head to check, several huge branches had already stabbed out from the ground. Fortunately, the two of them were not too close, otherwise it would be difficult to escape. But even if In this way, the speed of these branches made it impossible for the two to dodge. The young man suddenly became wise and remembered the way of restraining the five elements. He waved the long sword in his hand and swept away the burning flame wrapped around the tip of the Broken Moon sword...
This method worked as expected. As if feeling the burning pain, the branches quickly receded and burrowed into the ground. After being able to breathe, Gu Xiao hurriedly called Murong Wu and left the place.
Before the two of them could retreat a little, those branches seemed to be sensing something and were approaching again. Gu Xiao could only swing his sword with all his strength to force the branches back, but found that although these giant branches were guarded against
Afraid, but it seems that he is no longer as afraid of the flames on the Moon-Breaking Sword as General Cai.
Hearing a sound behind him, he looked back and saw more branches breaking out of the ground. They had already blocked the way back. Murong Wu was dodging left and right, struggling to hold on. Gu Xiao's sharp eyes were looking at him. There was a branch approaching quietly, and she was about to speak out a warning, but it was too late. Murong Wu tumbled to the ground again, and the branch had already stabbed at the vital part of her back.
At this point, Murong Wufang noticed something strange behind him, but under attack from both front and back, it was too late to dodge. Seeing that her charming figure was about to be penetrated by this branch, she was killed on the spot...
The sword light finally arrived and cut off the branch that was attacked... The broken branch fell to the ground, twisting and twisting as if it were alive, and in excruciating pain. From the place where it was cut off, a bright red liquid like blood spewed out.
With a glance out of the corner of his eye, against the faint firelight, he saw wherever the red color passed by, bursts of green smoke were emitting from the rocky ground beneath his feet.
Ignoring the pungent stench, Murong Wu hurriedly looked where the sword light came from, and saw that the long sword in the young man's hand was filled with flames. He chopped off the branches and jumped behind her, using his back to defend himself against the enemy.
"The sap from this broken branch has a corrosive effect, so be careful." Gu Xiao also saw the shape of the broken branch and warned Murong Wu to handle it carefully.
Without thinking too much, Murong Wu only said that the young man had recovered a little. She responded softly and turned her eyes to face the enemy: "What kind of branch is this? It looks like a monster..."
How did she know that the young man had no choice but to use the method of closing acupuncture points to suppress the injury and stimulate his own potential. At this moment, Gu Xiao also knew full well what kind of load his method would bring to the body. If he did not solve it quickly,
I'm afraid that when the method of closing the acupuncture points is broken, the two of them will lose their lives.
A sword cut off the huge branches that attacked Murong Wu. Before he could think of a way to break all the branches, the branches blocking his retreat had already attacked again. Unlike the previous sneak attacks that had penetrated into the ground, the branches came again this time. They all emerged from the ground and surged on the ground like waves, trying to engulf the two people trapped in them.
The flames on the Broken Moon Sword body were gone, and the flames were getting weaker. When Gu Xiao was in a panic, he caught a glimpse of the broken branch that he had just cut off under their feet. It had been twisting and twisting before, but now it was lifeless, but Yin Hong Wherever the juice passed, it left deep traces of corrosion... The plan came to mind, and Gu Xiao instantly had a countermeasure in his mind.
Holding the sword behind his back, he wrapped the flames with the tip of the Broken Moon Sword. He gently picked up the broken branch, fearing that the Broken Moon would be corroded by the juice. He picked it up for a moment, and the internal force was instantly poured into the sword body, removing the burned green cloth strips and broken branches. Once provoked...
"Hey——" As the broken branch flew up, the smell of blood mixed with burnt smell instantly rose up, filling the nostrils of the two people, and dark red juice suddenly gushes out.
.
"Tighten me up!" Gu Xiao shouted quickly, glancing at the branches rushing in front and behind, he was close to the two of them. He stretched out his hand to hold Murong Wu's arm, used his energy in his dantian, used Cloud Zong, and jumped into the air.
After rising several feet, he finally crossed the huge waves of rushing branches. When he looked down, he saw that the broken branches and the red sap were swallowed up together... The juice from the broken branches was extremely corrosive, and the huge waves of branches swallowed them up for an instant. Corrosion, bright red sap, stained the branches of Julang, melted at the touch, and emitted a foul odor that quickly spread.
When the clouds were falling, Gu Xiao could see clearly that the huge waves on the branches below were moving rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It disintegrated quickly, and my heart was a little wider. I was about to use the branches that had not been corroded to jump away from here, but I found that the huge waves of the branches were like broken branches, spewing out dark red liquid, corroding all the way forward, turning into a patch of dark red. sea of blood...
Seeing that there was no way to retreat, he glanced around quickly and saw that he could still stand on the side of the giant tree. He had to fall down for a moment, before the branches melted, he got up again and jumped towards the side of the giant tree. Compared with the way he came, Fortunately, the two of them were a little closer to the giant tree, and Gu Xiaoyun could just jump to it.
Arriving next to the giant tree again, they settled down, and the two of them hurriedly looked back... The rising smoke from the red sea of blood corroding the rocks filled the land of chaos, and was extremely pungent... However, the two of them had no time to take a closer look, and they were in a hurry. At a glance, he turned around and was on guard, because the two of them were almost close to the giant tree.
Standing on the roots of the giant tree, the flames on the Moon-Breaking Sword were extinguished at this moment. The two of them once again faced the worry of endless darkness. Gu Xiao looked at the tree trunk in front of him. He was already shocked when he looked at it from a distance. Now that he was approaching, he felt even more shocked. , the mottled tree body is actually crisscrossed with traces of swords.
"Is it...could it be that someone arrived just before Miss Murong and I arrived here?" Seeing that there was no movement in the giant tree, Gu Xiao calmed down for a moment and looked at the sword mark and thought to himself, his starry eyes lingered on the sword mark for a moment. , but quickly denied his conjecture.
Regardless of whether these sword marks or knife marks are crisscrossed, one can tell at a glance that they have lasted for a long time and were not created overnight.
"Miss Murong, although this is abrupt, Mu still wants to ask a question..." Gu Xiao opened his mouth and wanted to ask Murong Wu. After all, she is from Murong Valley. The two of them were trapped here and wanted to escape. Still need to go from the valley
If you ask for clues about what is going on, there may be a solution.
But when the words came out, he found that the charming woman beside him lowered his head in silence. He lowered his head slightly, and then came back to his senses. He might have been too nervous before leaping, but until now, he was still holding her weak and boneless body tightly. His hands may have been clenched too tightly, and his fingertips were slightly purple...
"You...what are you asking for?" Murong Wu was thankful that the fire on the sword in his hand had been extinguished at this time, and she did not see herself in trouble.
To avoid embarrassment, Gu Xiao hurriedly withdrew his hand and asked with concentration: "As the girl said, when you go out of the valley, you need to wear the scarlet sword in your hand. Have you ever heard that what will happen if you don't wear the sword? ?In all these years, have you ever heard of anyone coming uninvited or escaping from Murong Valley?"
Gathering her mind, Murong Wu carefully recalled the situation when she left the valley that day, but she could not think of any useful clues. She could only follow the young man's words, recall what she saw and heard in the valley, and murmured: "I have been in the valley for many years, but I have heard from the people in the valley. Speaking of... After entering the valley, you can't get out again, but... there are still people who keep trying to enter the valley... Master... someone once told the slave family that with the slave family's skills, don't be curious and try. Otherwise, you will definitely lose your life."
Seeing how Murong Wu was about to speak but hesitated, Gu Xiao secretly sighed in his heart, thinking that the rules in Murong Valley were strict and the tone was so tight. When asked about these things, Murong girl always behaved like this. If she were to ask her about Feng Lingdang again, I'm afraid He would not get any reply. Just when he was at his wits' end, he heard Miss Murong calling softly.
"Ah...by the way, her old...that person once said that there was a person who entered the valley and said he wanted to record everything with ink in his hand.
He had a very pleasant conversation with the person in the valley who mentioned the matter to the slave family. She... trusted this person very much, but later... the person who entered the valley later, for some unknown reason, stole something. The son... escaped, but the slave family didn't know the inside story. "
Worried that her words would be useless to the young man, Murong Wu spoke stammeringly, even her eyes were wandering and she did not dare to look directly. When she finished speaking, she looked sideways at the young man and saw that he did not show any anger.
, but his eyebrows were furrowed, as if he was thinking hard.
"Yes, Miss Murong said that the person who entered the valley, recorded all the affairs in the world, and later escaped from Murong Valley, must be the Chongyang pen, but he has died in Hejiapu... Wait, he stole the object , escaped..." Gu Xiao thought to himself, and after carefully studying Murong Wu's words, he seemed to have grasped the key point. However, when he wanted to ask further, he caught a glimpse of Murong Wu's appearance of not knowing the inside story, and simply gave up. Thoughts of questioning.
Since I can't get anything out of Miss Murong's mouth, I can only place my hope on the giant tree in front of me. The way back is blocked, so it seems that I can only start from this tree. I was worried about the strangeness of this tree before, and experienced the surrounding branches. When someone wanted to investigate, the young man had to be on full alert to deal with it.
Looking sideways, he saw that there was no end in sight in the chaotic darkness. He composed his mind and said, "Miss Murong, this tree is so huge that I have never heard of it. Let's find out if there is any mystery or a way to escape."
After hearing that the young man no longer asked about what happened in Murong Valley, Murong Wu finally felt a little relieved. However, recalling the surrounding branches just now, she asked with lingering fear: "How should we investigate?"
"The sap from the giant branches is comparable to the poison that turns bones. It should not be taken lightly.
The Yideng tree is a tree. No matter how old it is, it always has boundaries. We will follow the roots of the tree. "
Having established the method of investigation, Gu Xiao tore off a piece of the already tattered green shirt corner, found the protrusion of the tree body, and tied it to it. Then without further delay, he set off immediately, along the footing, and tried to one side. Walk slowly...
In the chaos, the young man walked slowly in front, while Murong Wu followed closely behind him, and their figures gradually disappeared into the darkness.
He silently counted the number of steps in his mind, and while measuring the width with his steps, he was also observing the body of the giant tree. He thought to himself: "Based on the steps, it is already ten or twenty feet long, but there is still no hem of clothes. How far is this tree?" How thick..."
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the scene of the tree in front of him suddenly change, and he stopped immediately. Behind him, Murong Wu also noticed that the young man had stopped, turned around, followed the young man's gaze, and saw the scene in front of her clearly, and suddenly became speechless.
The tree body in front of the two people did not look like an ordinary tree ringing into a trunk. The tree body appeared in front of the two people, as if it had been split vertically by an external force, showing the shape of a crack. At this point, the tree body was no longer visible...
Even though Gu Xiao had experienced life and death several times and traveled around the world, the scene in front of him was beyond what he knew in his heart. At this time, he felt his heart beating rapidly, as if someone was beating it with a drumstick...
This tree is so huge that it can be cut vertically with such a crack. What kind of strength can do it... His Adam's apple flipped, trying to calm down for a while, Gu Xiao moved his steps, slowly approached the edge of the crack, and looked inside.
