There is no wind around, and the air is filled with a sweet and strange smell. Under the red light that fills the world, the dead trees in the forest and the shadows of the trees printed on the red vegetation are twisted and winding.
Gu Qing and Guo Xuanting walked through the dead wood forest.
The two of them didn't trust each other very much, so even though they were traveling together, they were still five or six feet apart.
The ground in the dead wood forest is covered with red vegetation. These red vegetation, the rhizomes of the slender plants, like the arms of a baby, the flat leaves of the plants, and the veins on them seem to outline Faces with different expressions.
puff!
As Gu Qing walked forward, he crushed the leaves of a plant with a large number of human faces with different expressions on them with one foot. A large amount of red slurry spattered in all directions. Suddenly, he felt like he was being stared at by countless eyes. Realizing this, he calmly glanced around.
I saw that the surrounding red vegetation started to move slowly, stretching out arm-like roots and reaching towards the leaves that were crushed by him. In just half a breath, The leaf he crushed before, along with the red slurry that spattered out after being crushed, was swept away by the surrounding red vegetation.
'Can these things actually eat each other?
Gu Qing raised his eyebrows.
'If I smash all the weird plants here, leaving only one, and let it devour as many of the weird plants as possible, will this weird plant grow to an extremely huge size, and even threaten to threaten me? Foundation building? Or maybe a weird plant like this cannot grow too big and will split when it reaches a certain size?
'If this is the case, are all the weird vegetation here formed by the division of one such weird plant?
'Well, this kind of weird plant should have some value. If it is taken to the outside world, it should be exchanged for some spiritual stones. Gu Qing's expression moved slightly, and he reached forward to grab it. Immediately, a blood-colored spiritual palm condensed out and grabbed a relatively lush and strange plant in front of him.
This relatively lush and strange plant looks like it is made of flesh and blood. On its main stem, which is like a pillar of flesh, there are hundreds of branches that are like the arms of a strong man. On these branches are clouds of red leaves. , each leaf has a large number of twisting and changing veins like human faces.
The blood-colored spiritual power palm formed by Gu Qing, which was three feet in size, quickly disappeared and became smaller under the invisible devouring force that seemed to be carried by the red light around it. He realized that the speed at which his own spiritual power was being consumed. When the outside world condenses this bloody spiritual power hand, it is more than three times.
This bloody spiritual palm, which was originally three feet in size, had shrunk by more than half a foot when it grabbed the strange plant.
Click!
There was a sound that sounded like bone cracking. On the main stem of the plant held in the palm of the blood-colored spiritual power, many branches had been broken by the huge force. A large amount of red slurry flowed out from the plant. At this moment, Gu Qing seemed to hear screams and begging for mercy.
On the cloud-like leaves of this plant, hundreds of human faces outlined by the veins of the leaves all turned towards Gu Qing. The seven orifices of each face were all leaking blood-colored serum, which was miserable and terrifying.
Gu Qing was unmoved by this.
He simply uprooted this lush and weird plant with his bloody spiritual palm, and then put it into his storage bag. The whole process only took half a breath, and he didn't even stop his steps. The largest strange plant I have ever seen was taken away.
Guo Xuanting on the side was attracted by the movement here.
He turned his head slightly and glanced at Gu Qing quietly without saying a word.
'Although the spiritual plants here have a rather special appearance, judging from their fluctuations, they are just spiritual plants that are equivalent to weeds in ordinary spiritual fields. Why does this person spend spiritual power to collect them?
'I have sensed that the red brilliance falling here will continue to devour the spiritual power and blood of the monks. This person must also be aware of this, but why would he spend precious spiritual power to use this kind of energy? Seems nothing special
Is it just a strange-looking spiritual plant?
'The spiritual energy contained in this kind of spiritual plant is not as good as the ordinary weeds in the first-order spiritual field! Is it possible that there is something special about this kind of spiritual plant?
Guo Xuanting's heart moved slightly. He twisted his fingers lightly and flicked his fingers to create a silver-white arc. This arc shot out of the air and passed over a taller strange plant in front of him with a tingling sound.
This strange plant is smaller than the one Gu Qing put away, but it is still the tallest one nearby at this time.
The silver-white electric arc struck by Guo Xuanting accurately split the main stem of this strange plant. Its cross section was burnt black, with white gas coming out, and not even a drop of red slurry flowed out.
Guo Xuanting took a few steps forward, picked up the above-ground part of this strange plant that was cut off by a silver-white electric arc, and put it into the storage bag on his waist.
Gu Qing naturally noticed this person's behavior.
But he had no reaction at all.
In the dead wood forest here, there are few flat places, and there are dense red vegetation everywhere. It feels soft when you step on it, as if you are stepping on the clouds, or walking in an endless swamp.
As Gu Qing walked, he always felt like he was falling into it. It seemed like there were invisible tentacles wrapping around his calf, trying to drag him down. But when he lowered his head and looked at his calf, he couldn't. He couldn't see anything. Even if he exuded blood-colored spiritual power to sense, or used the secret spiritual eye technique he had obtained from Huang Tao, it was still difficult to distinguish on the calf that seemed to be trapped. What a doorway.
Gu Qing suddenly asked Guo Xuanting, "Can Fellow Daoist Guo see something attached to Gu's calf?"
His question made Guo Xuanting's eyes narrow.
A light blue light appeared in Guo Xuanting's eyes. He looked at Gu Qing's calf and shook his head: "Fellow Daoist Gu is overly worried. There is nothing attached to your calf. You can rest assured."
Gu Qing nodded imperceptibly and continued to move forward.
This forest of dead trees is very wide. Gu Qing and Guo Xuanting have been walking for half a day, but the scene in front of them is still the same.
If he hadn't looked behind him and couldn't see the dozens of black sand dunes, Gu Qing would have thought he was standing still.
As the half day passed.
Above this piece of heaven and earth, on the pitch-black sky, stars appeared again. Thousands of starlight fell down, mixing into the red brilliance that filled the surroundings. Gu Qing only felt the spiritual power and blood in his body. The feeling of loss disappeared without a trace. It seemed that this starlight was the kind of devouring power that could neutralize the red brilliance.
Guo Xuanting on the side also noticed this change, but before he could be happy, he noticed that the energy around him was fluctuating violently.
His expression became extremely solemn and he said to Gu Qing: "Fellow Taoist Gu Yun, I'm afraid that the starlight will trigger some kind of change in this dead wood forest! The two of us must exit this place quickly..."
Gu Qing glanced at Guo Xuanting lightly.
He said: "Retreat? Where to retreat?"
Before Gu Qing finished speaking, he had just pulled out the strange plant. The black earth and stone cracked instantly, and an extremely thick pale arm stretched out from it and swatted at Gu Qing!
boom!
The biting wind came across, and almost instantly, on the thick arm, the palm that was probably 14 to 15 feet in size, like a dark sky, approached Gu Qing's scalp, pushing Gu Qing aside. Guo Xuanting also fell under him.
Guo Xuanting's expression suddenly changed.
A large amount of blue electric light appeared above his figure, and with a sting, he turned into a silver-white electric arc, moving dozens of feet to one side at a speed that was difficult to capture, avoiding the slap. Read the book
After Guo Xuanting moved dozens of feet away, he immediately noticed a huge impact coming from his original position. Strong fluctuations spread out in all directions from where the giant palm struck, sweeping Countless red-colored vegetation in the sky revealed black soil and rocks below.
Guo Xuanting did not sacrifice any magic weapon, he just relied on his own spiritual power
, condensed a light blue electric light cover to protect his body. Under this impact, he under the light blue electric light cover moved more than ten feet backward.
At this time.
A dense sound of shattering sounded from all around.
Puff puff!
Guo Xuanting's expression was extremely solemn.
Just as he moved sideways here, the nearby crimson-colored vegetation surged like waves, and the main stems of the strange plants exploded. Branches, stems and leaves like broken arms and limbs flew around in large numbers. The blood-colored slurry turned into a surging sea of blood, wrapped in countless broken arms and limbs, and swept towards him with a sweet and fishy smell.
Waves of blood waves hit the light blue electric light cover, and Guo Xuanting, who was protecting it, looked thoughtful.
'This huge palm slapping down probably belongs to a giant that is over a hundred feet tall! The tremendous power it carried was unstoppable. If I didn't dodge, I would have turned into flesh at this moment!
'That fellow Taoist Gu Yun is really a pity... There must be many rare treasures in his treasure storage.
A burning light flashed in Guo Xuanting's eyes.
The next moment.
With a flash of light in his hand, he took out a purple flying sword and shot it forward. With a swish, a purple sword light chopped up the waves in front of him and shattered countless stumps and broken arms. The surging sea of blood was divided into two halves by the purple sword energy.
Guo Xuanting's face turned even paler.
He waved and held the purple flying sword in his palm, and then with a sway, it turned into a ball of purple-blue electric light, and went straight to the direction where the light was distorted and chaotic after the giant palm slapped down.
Guo Xuanting's cultivation at the twelfth level of Qi Refining exploded completely. He did not care about the loss of his own spiritual power, showing an escape speed comparable to those in the early stages of foundation building. In just a flash, he returned to where the giant palm fell. Nearby, I looked through the somewhat chaotic light.
Below I saw cracked black earth and rocks, and the ground was densely covered with dry and broken pieces of meat. Where Gu Qing was originally, there was a pit about half a foot deep. Except for two deep holes in the pit, Footprints, and more dried and broken pieces of flesh, nothing else.
After the blood-colored vegetation nearby exploded, blood-colored slurry flowed in, filling the half-foot-deep hole here.
'Where did Gu Yun go during this cultivation?
Guo Xuanting narrowed his eyes.
The surging blood-colored vegetation in this dead wood forest became even more powerful, pulling Guo Xuanting back from his thoughts. He suddenly raised his head and saw a bloody spherical shadow slowly appearing above the dead wood forest. The phantom of the sphere appeared, and his head felt dizzy.
Buzz!
Trembling and buzzing sounds came from all directions, and the sea of blood in the dead wood forest seemed to rise into the sky. The bloody vegetation burst, and the bloody slurry flowed out, enveloping a large number of broken limbs and branches and stems, and rushed towards As the illusory spheres gathered together, it turned into a huge vortex in an instant. At the center of the vortex was the bloody sphere!
In just an instant, the blood-colored sphere had become extremely solid, turning into a suspended eyeball. The eyelids of the eyeball were blood-colored, and the slightly exposed eyes were of deep darkness.
This darkness is like the sky above.
More than a hundred feet underground.
In a cave with a radius of several hundred feet.
Gu Qing was sitting cross-legged near the center of the cave. At this moment, his figure had grown ten feet tall. There was blood-colored brilliance flowing on his body surface. This bloody brilliance circulated for a moment, then turned into a thin The golden color merged into the bones of his body.
In front of Gu Qing's ten-foot-tall figure was a giant's corpse that was torn into hundreds of pieces of flesh and blood, and the giant's corpse, which turned into a black skeleton full of tiny holes.
If you piece together the flesh and blood hastily, it is not difficult to find that the giant's corpse is actually a hundred feet tall. At this time, the torn corpse of the giant, the torn pieces of flesh and blood are already Withered, it turned black
The skeleton was full of tiny holes, and cracks were constantly spreading on it. The power contained in the flesh, flesh and bones of this giant's corpse seemed to have been sucked out.
These withered flesh and blood were blown into powder by the hurricane caused by Gu Qing's breathing. He raised his head slightly, and an extremely dim blood-colored aura spread on the tight black robe.
'Above, something seems to have changed.
Gu Qing's lantern-sized golden eyes were slightly closed. Although his consciousness could not be detected, he could still do it by focusing on his own body. He looked inwards to explore the state of his body.
'After swallowing this huge giant with vitality, all the power in the flesh and bones, the power of the ancient demon does not advance quickly. Fortunately, I don't have to enter that kind of cultivation state. I can allow the power of the ancient demon to The power contained in the flesh and bones of this giant was refined by itself.
'It's just that the trouble is that I'd better not use the power of this ancient demon for a period of time. Otherwise, the power absorbed by the giant's flesh and bones will inevitably be wasted...obtaining the ancient demon After the inheritance, I have been able to increase my own strength by devouring other living beings. Now it is the first time to use this ability. This feeling is really good.
Gu Qing raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
His figure shrunk back to normal size, and his black robe became extra wide. When he flicked his sleeves, a streak of blood flowed out.
The blood-colored armor shot out of the air, and upon contact, it shattered the withered bones full of holes into black powder.
