A few days later, Shangguan Xue found an opportunity and took Yi Yuan to find a secluded place. She said with solemn eyes: "The fact that Confucian Sword Immortal Zhou Xing's secret realm was abolished has been widely spread within the sect. It is said that Zhou After the ancestor of the family learned about it, his anger went straight to the sky, and he has sent several Nascent Soul stage masters to the Monster Mountains to find the murderer Cao Weibo, and to investigate the cause of Zhou Renxing's death."
Yi Yuan's face was calm, his eyes didn't waver at all, and he signaled to Shangguan Xue not to worry: "No matter how they check, they really can't find anything on him. Since ancient times, evil people have their own evil people. If you do too many things that are harmful to nature, sooner or later it will happen." Get your comeuppance.”
When Shangguan Xue heard this, she felt a little at ease. Although there was something strange in it, she was extremely smart and had some vague guesses in her heart. She would not delve into the reasons, so she continued: "Lei Fan and his party are exploring the ancient cave. It’s also quite rich. They will probably have to explore the Monster Mountain Range for a while, shall we join them?”
Yi Yuan pondered for a while, shook his head and said: "There is no need to deliberately join them. The two of us are training in the Monster Mountain Range together. Hu Dali is with us all the way, and there are no monsters without long eyes approaching us." , isn’t it beautiful?”
Shangguan Xue understood Yi Yuan's thoughts instantly, and she did not refute it. With Yi Yuan's cultivation level, they would not be afraid even if they encountered monsters in the early stage of Yuan Ying. What's more, they had practiced all the way to hunt down golden beasts. The goal is to protect monsters from the Dan stage, not to mention safety.
As the sun sets, the green leaves on the tops of ancient trees cannot block the endless scenery. The warm wind disturbs people's emotions. The setting sun pulls the two figures leaning against each other into a long back; there is already a hint of light in the air. The silk is dry and hot, and the evening breeze blows Shangguan Xue's messy hair, emitting bursts of fragrance, plucking people's heartstrings, and making people unable to take their eyes away.
When the sky was covered with darkness, the tiger vigorously lowered his head and came slowly, raising clouds of dust. For several days, it followed the route that the golden-feathered bald eagle had traveled before, but could not find it. It felt extremely depressed, so it couldn't help but roar several times, scaring away countless insects, birds and beasts.
"Ahem, that's enough, Hu Dali, stop roaring a little and don't even look at what time it is." Yi Yuan pulled Shangguan Xue and landed lightly on the ground, saying in a dissatisfied tone.
"That silly bird, the golden-feathered bald eagle, why did it just disappear?" Tiger Dali was still a little aggrieved. Now that he had the ability to avenge his dead tiger mother, he suddenly couldn't find his partner, and he was very depressed.
"Haha, it can't run away. If we encounter it in the future, the two of us will block it and make it difficult for it to fly." Yi Yuan comforted him gently.
Hu Dali nodded emotionally, and could only put away his desire for revenge for the time being, carrying Yi Yuan and Shangguan Xue on his back, and quickly walked through the mountains and forests.
After two days of non-stop trekking, Yi Yuan and the others returned to the outskirts of the trial tower, and soon met their uncle Lu Yunfeng and aunt Jiang Yuxuan. After some discussion, they decided to work together in the Monster Mountain Range. He can move within a range of thousands of miles, and strictly requires Yi Yuan to not use his own strength at will.
Yi Yuan understands the importance of low-key development, so he follows the advice of his uncle Lu Yunfeng and his aunt Jiang Yuxuan. He will not burst out his true strength until absolutely necessary.
As for the current place of residence of the descendants of the Wu clan, Yi Yuan has no plans to go back for the time being. He has already discussed it with Brother Xing Mo. Regarding their existence, Yi Yuan has no plans to tell his uncle and aunt for the time being, and has also told Shangguan Xue not to say anything. Going out has nothing to do with trust or distrust. The most important thing is that the fewer people know about it, the more unexpected the effect will be in the future.
In the next ten days or so, four people and one tiger went deep for a long distance along the Monster Mountain Range. They encountered many low-level monsters. They cleaned them up along the way and brought back the bodies of these monsters. Sects can be exchanged for a lot of mission points and practice resources.
On this day, Yi Yuan and his party finally encountered a black panther, a monster beast in the early stage of the Golden Core, in the dense forest of a mountain stream.
The black panther's body is half the size of the tiger's, and it is born with extreme speed. However, it lags behind Lu Yunfeng and Jiang Yuxuan. Their strength has increased greatly recently, and they can easily block its path; even Shangguan Xue, under Yi Yuan's loving teaching, The light body footwork has also improved greatly, and can just keep up with the black panther's extreme speed; not to mention the tiger's strength, it is also a monster, its cultivation in the late stage of the golden elixir is far more than that of the black panther. Under the burst of momentum, the black panther I dare not choose its sharpness.
It's a pity that the black panther misjudged the situation and believed that Yi Yuan's magic power was the lowest, so he used him as a breakthrough point and fought for his life as fast as possible. After receiving a punch from Yi Yuan, he vomited blood and retreated. Although it was a little confused, it was not stupid. Without thinking, he rushed towards Shangguan Xue again. After receiving another slap, his whole head was stunned and full of doubts. Based on his past experience, it seemed that it didn't work.
Four people and one tiger, without giving the black panther monster much time to think, all approached. Although it rushed left and right, it could not break through the encirclement of everyone.
"Meow!" The demonic black panther let out a terrifying roar, accompanied by a powerless panic. The hair on its body stood on end, showing the appearance of choosing people to devour. Unfortunately, no one among them could handle it.
After a while, without any accidents, the demonic black panther fell. It let out its final screams and roars, and asked Hu Dali: "Why do you join forces with human monks to hunt the same kind of people? Aren't you afraid that you will have no place to live in the future if you work for the tiger?" ?”
The tiger's claws paused for a moment, then swiped across the black panther's head at a very fast speed. Before the black panther could self-explode the golden elixir, his head and body were separated. The brilliance in his eyes gradually dissipated. No matter how wide he stared, he could not change the outcome of death. .
Since Hu Dali followed Yi Yuan, he had already made a decision in his heart, so there was no trace of confusion or guilt in his heart. They are monsters, preying on the weak and the strong, which is clearly reflected in nature. Even if the monster black panther does not die in their hands, it will die in the mouths of other monsters with higher cultivation level.
After collecting the black panther's body and the demon elixir, four people and one tiger followed the aura left by it and found a sturdy ancient spirit tree in a very hidden place in the deep stream. It was more than ten feet wide in diameter and as tall as The other ancient trees are as tall as each other and are hidden in the dense forest. If you are passing by from the air, it will be difficult to spot without paying attention. The black panther's lair is located in the branches above the spiritual tree, coexisting harmoniously. There were strange flowers and plants all around. Yi Yuan and the others picked all the high-level spiritual herbs and stared at the ancient spiritual tree for a few times.
"This tree is extremely rare. With such a wide body, it is estimated to be tens of thousands of years old. It may contain the heart of rare plants. Let's split it open and take a look." Lu Yunfeng said casually, staring at the ancient spirit with bright eyes. Tree, gearing up.
The leaves of the spiritual tree were trembling, and the hanging branches and vines were dangling unintentionally. Yi Yuan clearly felt an unusual aura. The spirit of vegetation is definitely a rare thing in heaven and earth. Whether it is used for alchemy or swallowed directly, it has unexpected benefits. The life essence contained in it is a rare thing that can increase lifespan and cultivation at the same time.
Yi Yuan nodded and drew out the top-quality spiritual sword. If he guessed correctly, this spiritual tree should have given birth to spiritual wisdom, and its cultivation had reached the peak of Yuanying. The opponent's breath fluctuated slightly just now, and was touched by his keen Sensing it, he quietly motioned to everyone to be careful in case something unexpected happened.
At this moment, as if Yi Yuan's conjecture was fulfilled, more than ten branches and vines suddenly shot out from the ancient spirit tree. There was golden light flowing on each vine, and it seemed to be invincible. Straight towards Yi Yuan and the others.
Fortunately, Yi Yuan had warned in advance, so everyone was on guard and got out of the way. At the same time, he waved the spirit sword in his hand, and the sword light struck at the branches and vines. Although the ancient spirit branches and vines were blocked, they were full of resilience and unscathed, and then continued Intertwined into a big net, once again covering four people and one tiger.
Lu Yunfeng snorted coldly, and the real fire in his body instantly appeared on his fingertips. He gently waved out more than ten rays of fire and burned them towards the golden vines that were coming towards him. They made a "sizzling" sound as soon as they came into contact; the spiritual branches and vines shook slightly. For a moment, it stopped, the golden light flowed faster, flickering brightly, and the firelight wrapped around it was extinguished within a moment.
When everyone saw this, they were all shocked. The spiritual branches and vines containing golden light were not afraid of being burned by real fire. Invasion of tree cane.
The golden vines of the spiritual tree glowed suddenly, and the golden light suddenly shone brightly. Everyone felt a little unable to resist it, and the space for movement was constantly being compressed.
The only thing that can delay the attack of the spirit tree rattan is the true fire in the body. Although the effect is average, it still has some effect. Everyone uses the true fire in the body to light the rattan, especially when Yi Yuan's true fire lights up and surrounds his head. The two vines on his body were obviously shrinking, and their hesitant look made Yi Yuan calm down.
As Yi Yuan waved the real fire in his hand, the golden rattan above his head was obviously unwilling to touch, and retreated a certain distance, flying uncertainly in the air. The other rattans all retreated a distance due to the smell, and floated above everyone's heads. , flexible and flexible like a snake letter, threatening everyone's safety at all times.
"This ancient spirit tree should have taken root on the ground. It can grow to be so strong. It must be at least one hundred thousand years old. There must be a heart of vegetation in its trunk. It may be ten thousand years old. One hundred thousand years ago, this spirit tree Although plants are rare, they often appear. Now they are almost extinct in the world. I haven't heard of anyone encountering them for a long time. I never thought that we would encounter them today. It is really a good thing." Jiang Yuxuan recalled while guarding, "This tree must open It has spiritual wisdom and profound cultivation, and the dense forest surrounding it is probably a part of its body, so it may be difficult to be good."
Yi Yuan glanced around quickly. In other words, they were surrounded by a dense forest. If they wanted to get out, they had to knock down the ancient spirit tree. It seemed that they were being treated as prey by the spirit tree.
"Humans, stop struggling. You can't escape my encirclement. Once the true fire and mana in your body are exhausted, you will be like meat on the chopping board in my domain. There is no point in struggling to the death, hahaha ..."
The sound that echoed above everyone's heads made their scalps tingle, and then an indescribable fragrance filled the space, making their eyes look a little dazed.
"Everyone, hold your breath, this smell is too evil." Yi Yuan reminded everyone loudly, then took out the obstacle avoidance pill and handed one to each person. After everyone swallowed it, they gathered their energy.
"It's useless, you can't resist for long, just wait for death!" The seductive voice appeared above everyone's heads again, the fragrant smell surrounding them became thicker, and there were more and more golden branches and vines suspended above everyone's heads. If it weren't for the fear of Yi The real fire in Yuan's hand had already surged down.
"What should I do? The cultivation level of this ancient spirit tree is definitely at the peak of Nascent Soul." Hu Dali was also a little helpless. He tried his best and failed to cut off a vine, and he was already worried.
Yi Yuan carefully observed the golden vines above his head, and finally confirmed that there were thirty-six of them. Even so, it was difficult to cut off even one. Even if he was defeated by the monsters of his fellow cultivators, he still had enough time. Escape, but when faced with the siege of this extremely flexible golden rattan, he has no good solution for the time being. Only the real fire in his hand can restrain it. If only this way, it would be a bit difficult for them to escape.
