Obviously, those are not real eyes, but another spiritual consciousness.
Without thinking much, she immediately concentrated her consciousness with all her strength and headed towards the spiritual consciousness to explore.
Although it was just a thought, the owner of that spiritual consciousness was obviously not weak, and he immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly retreated.
He retreated quickly, but no matter how fast he retreated, he couldn't retreat faster than Gu Qingxi.
With the promotion and integration, her two souls were more than ten times stronger than before. Not to mention the tribulation monks, even the strong ones in the early stage of Mahayana, their souls may not be any stronger than her.
Her consciousness locked onto that one, and her hand grasped the hilt of the sword.
The feeling this spiritual consciousness gave her was eerie and strange, and there was a vague smell of evil and blood that made her feel uncomfortable.
The two consciousnesses were chasing each other in the valley. Although they were invisible, the air around them seemed to be stagnant, making it difficult to breathe.
Finally, the spiritual consciousness realized that it could not escape and stopped suddenly.
Gu Qingxi's heart trembled, and in an instant, she felt the hairs on her back standing on end.
Without thinking much, she turned around instinctively, drew her sword and slashed out.
The one he used was the second sword of the Seven Swords of Meteor: Jun Lin Tian Xia. This is also her strongest sword.
"Be careful!" Not far away, Su Lingshuang shouted and also played a magic talisman.
"Boom!" A black shadow seemed to appear out of thin air and rushed towards Gu Qingxi.
But before it could rush forward, the sword light had already fallen on him, and the talisman light and fire exploded at the same time.
Amidst the loud noise, gravel shot up and dust flew into the air, and the black shadow disappeared, as if it had been blasted into nothingness.
"What was that just now?" Su Lingshuang rushed to Gu Qingxi's side and asked in shock.
"I don't know either." Gu Qingxi shook her head and said.
The figure just now didn't look like a human monk, but it didn't look like a monster either. Because it appeared so suddenly, she didn't even see what it was.
"Go back to Yunmiao Peak immediately and ask Senior Brother Lu and Senior Sister Xiao to come over. It's best to ask Du Jiuling to come with you." Gu Qingxi continued without waiting for Su Lingshuang to ask.
"Oh." Su Lingshuang actually didn't understand. Wasn't the black shadow just now destroyed by her and Gu Qingxi's teamwork? Why did she ask Lu Anjun and others to come over?
But after hearing Gu Qingxi's instructions, he didn't ask any more questions and immediately turned around and ran towards the entrance of the valley.
This is also one of her greatest strengths. She handles things cleanly and never sloppily.
"Wait." But just after running out for two steps, she was dragged back by Gu Qingxi.
"What's wrong?" Su Lingshuang asked doubtfully.
"There is no need to go back, and there is no way to go back." Gu Qingxi said solemnly.
Only then did Su Lingshuang discover that vines had grown out of nowhere at both ends of the valley. Their branches and leaves were entangled with each other, forming two dense nets, trapping them in the middle.
"What's going on?" Su Lingshuang asked in horror.
"That thing is not dead yet." Gu Qingxi looked at the ground not far away and said.
Following her line of sight, a withered vine was stretching out from between the rocks, growing and twisting at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Ordinary vines are green or dark green in color, and turn gray after withering, but this withered vine took on a dazzling blood red color.
In just a few breaths, a bloody giant made of withered vines appeared in front of him.
The head position has all the facial features, just like an old man over fifty years old, but the vines on his body that are thicker than human calves are slowly shaking like poisonous snakes spitting messages, which looks very weird. .
"What... what is this?" Su Lingshuang had experienced everywhere before, but she had never seen such a strange sight before, her voice was trembling slightly.
"Blood Demon Vine!" Gu Qingxi took a deep breath and said.
"Blood... Blood Demon Vine!" Su Lingshuang turned pale with fright.
Legend has it that in ancient times, the Tianyuan Continent was so full of spiritual energy that all things could be cultivated successfully. Not only are there a large number of demonic beasts, but there are also many demonic plants (also known as spiritual plants in later generations).
Although humans are known as the spirits of all things, they were not the absolute masters of the continent at that time, and wars often broke out with monsters or monster plants.
It was at that time that some monsters with cruel natures got the name of ferocious beasts, which made the world change their minds after hearing about them, such as the four legendary ferocious beasts.
In addition to monster beasts, some monster plants also have a savage reputation, even worse than the four ferocious beasts.
Blood Demon Vine is one of them.
It is said that the cultivation method of this kind of monster plant is completely different from other monster plants and monsters. It neither refines the spiritual energy of heaven and earth nor absorbs the essence of the sun and moon, but completely relies on absorbing the essence and blood of other monsters or humans to enhance its strength.
Because humans are the spirit of all things, but their bodies are not as strong as monsters, they suffer even more.
Fortunately, the reproduction of the Blood Demon Vine still requires extremely abundant spiritual energy. As the spiritual energy of the mainland gradually weakens, the number of such demonic plants is getting smaller and smaller.
In the ancient times, there were only a few blood demon vines left in the entire continent. When many ancient powerful men joined forces to eradicate them, this most vicious and evil demon plant race would be completely extinct.
When Su Lingshuang saw this record, she felt lucky for a while: Fortunately, the Blood Demon Vine had become extinct, otherwise countless people in the world of cultivation would have suffered misfortune.
But she never thought that the Blood Demon Vine was not really extinct, and at least one was still alive to this day.
Gu Qingxi looked at the Blood Demon Vine in front of her, and her heart sank slightly.
She remembered very clearly that the last Blood Demon Vine in the world was killed by her own hands.
Afterwards, strong men from all sides searched everywhere and were completely sure that there was no more Blood Demon Vine in the world.
In fact, with the aura of the three continents at that time, even if there were one or two seedlings, it would be impossible for them to survive, let alone reproduce to this day.
So, where did this Blood Demon Vine come from?
Gu Qingxi couldn't help but think of the group of blood crows that should have been extinct long ago.
Could it be that all this was done by the Divine Palace? Apart from the ethereal and mysterious shrine, Gu Qingxi could not think of any other possibility.
But why would they do this? Once ferocious beasts and spirits like Blood Crow and Blood Demon Vine are released, not only Tiancang Continent and Yuanzhen Continent will be destroyed, Tianyuan Continent will probably be doomed as well?
Shrine, what are you planning?
Gu Qingxi couldn't think of an answer to this question, and she didn't have time to think about it.
Because on the opposite side, the huge figure formed by bloody withered vines was approaching them step by step with heavy steps.
"Stupid humans, they could have lived a few more days, but they had to come here to die." He said coldly as he walked away.
The voice was hoarse and dry, without any emotion, and the old man's face, which was also made of dead vines, also showed a ferocious smile.
"Kick-kick-kick-kick..." Seeing this, Su Lingshuang was so frightened that her teeth chattered, and her teeth were almost broken.
Gu Qingxi patted her shoulder, wanting to comfort her.
But before she could say anything, she saw her holding the magic talisman in her left hand and pulling out a long sword with her right hand, saying: "Sister Qingxi, please leave quickly, I'll stop it."
