A huge red sun hung high in the middle of the sky, casting soft and warm sunlight, bringing some warmth and light to the entire underworld.
Many creatures in the underworld also started a new life under the light of this red sun. Qu Wuming activated the Wuwang Hiding Robe to the extreme. His entire body was almost completely transparent, and he was quietly hiding on the trunk of a big tree. He looked at a strange figure in front of him from a distance.
"Village". The village is indeed a village, but the people living in the village are not human beings. They were a group of humanoid creatures about eight feet tall, with dark skin and skinny bodies.
Their torsos are only over a foot long, and the rest of their height is made up entirely of their slender arms, legs, and heads.
They are called ghost servants and are one of the most common creatures in the underworld. Before, I had only seen the image of the ghost servant in the "Encyclopedia of Creatures of the Underworld". Now that I saw it with my own eyes, Qu Wuming was still shocked by the strange appearance of this creature.
The slender, skinny limbs, and the thickest thigh are only as thick as an ordinary man's arm, growing like four hemp poles on the same skinny torso.
And the head was even more peculiar, over a foot long, without a neck, just like a huge black date stone, standing between their shoulders, which were no more than a foot wide.
The ghost servant has only one eye, which is big and round.
The "jujube core" is in the middle, while their ears, mouth, and nose are relatively small, almost all squeezed around the eyes.
These ghost servants are different from the ordinary beasts and monsters in the underworld. Although their appearance is weird and very different from the human race, their lifestyle has many similarities with the human race.
In the ghost servant village in front of Qu Wuming, all the buildings were simply made of trees unique to the underworld, with something similar to thatch spread on them as roofs.
From a distance, they look like tents with pointed roofs. And in this village, such large and small
There are hundreds of "tents", arranged in an orderly manner, like stars holding the moon, guarding a huge building in the middle of the village - it is a building that seems to be like a temple, although it is also only One floor, but its roof is more ordinary than the others
The "tent" is twice as tall and covers an average area.
More than ten times as many "tents". In this village, Qu Wuming saw many interesting things from a distance, such as several large livestock pens, which contained dozens of very strange-looking creatures, like pigs and sheep, that were raised in In the circle, there were several ghost servants each carrying a large basin and feeding them some mushy stuff.
In another part of the village, there were many ghost servants who seemed to be women, sitting around a table made of a large stone slab. There were many hides of beasts on the stone table, and the female ghost servants each held long and long swords in their hands. The thick bone needles were sewing something while talking and laughing.
Some smaller ghost servants, who seemed to be young ghost servants, ran and played in the village in groups of three or five, and from time to time they would attract the scolding and shouting of female ghost servants.
On the periphery of the village, there is a tall wall made of trees and stones, about two feet high. Every twenty feet, there is a high lookout tower. On each lookout tower, There are at least two male ghost servants armed with spears and bows and arrows vigilantly observing the movements outside the wall.
What surprised Qu Wuming was that there was a deep trench dug outside the village wall, which was filled with sharp thorns - at first glance, they were the poisonous thorns on the agouti.
Moreover, these poisonous stingers were also used on the wall - the outward side was also covered with poisonous stingers, guarding the entire village like a wall of thorns.
Qu Wuming observed for a moment, satisfying his curiosity about creatures like ghost servants, and then quietly jumped down from the tree, planning to bypass the village and continue on his way.
Because Qu Wuming knew that the village of ghost servants seemed weak and backward, but this was just the survival mode of the weakest members of the ghost servants.
Just like ordinary people in the human race, in the ancient times, they had to form villages and join forces to keep warm, so as to resist the attacks of poisonous insects and beasts, so as to survive in the harsh environment.
The same goes for ghost servants. In this village, including those ghost servants standing guard on the lookout, they are just among the ghost servants.
Just "ordinary people". But the one in the middle of the village
In the "big house", there lived among the ghost servants
"The ascetic". They are special existences among the ghost servants. They can practice by absorbing the breath of the underworld, and their life span is much longer than that of ordinary ghost servants.
According to the "Encyclopedia of Creatures of the Underworld", the most powerful ghost servant known
The strength of the "monastic" has even surpassed the ceiling of combat power in the Shifang Realm - the peak of the Void Refining Stage.
Such a ghost servant was called the Ghost Servant King by the "Encyclopedia of Creatures in the Underworld". However, the Ghost Servant King, whose strength is comparable to that of a cultivator in the Hedao period, seems to only exist in records. At least in the past ten appearances in the underworld, no one has mentioned that anyone has seen the Ghost Servant King. record of.
Despite this, when encountering a ghost servant village, it is best to avoid it - it is said that in a village with more than a hundred residents, the powerful ghost servants who really protect the village are at least equivalent to the god transformation stage. cultivation level, and there may not be only one such powerful ghost servant!
Qu Wuming didn't want to cause trouble, so he quietly looked at it from a distance, and then wanted to leave quietly. But who would have expected that just when he jumped off the tree and turned around and walked out within two feet, a stone the size of a fist whizzed over from a distance and hit Qu Wuming directly!
The stone flew over very fast and with the sound of wind. What's more, by coincidence, it was actually a white stone.
It was daytime in the Underworld. As soon as the stone appeared, it fell into the eyes of the two ghost servants on the observation platform inside the wall.
As the target of the stone, Qu Wuming only felt that his teeth were itching with hatred - with Qu Wuming's eyesight, he had naturally seen at a glance that this stone had been drilled with several transparent holes. This is why it had Causes of noise during flight.
Moreover, this stone is also wrapped in some special magic. Although it has not hit me yet, I can already feel that the special power on it has been firmly locked on me!
No matter who is attacking, he has only one target. That was to force Qu Wuming to resist and then expose himself.
If it were anyone else, I'm afraid they would have no choice but to resist and expose themselves.
But Qu Wuming is not someone else. Especially after getting new treasures
After "Falling Star". I saw Qu Wuming's thoughts moving,
"Falling Star" suddenly flew out of his storage ring, and then turned into an earthy yellow light shield, covering Qu Wuming inside.
In the Ghost Servant Village, the two sharp-eyed Ghost Servant guards immediately saw something strange here. One immediately bent his bow and aimed an arrow at this side, while the other raised a horn on his waist and whimpered. It whistled loudly.
"You dare to attack me secretly, you want to expose me to the ghost servant monks?" Qu Wuming snorted coldly in his heart,
"I want to see who is plotting against me!" The khaki light shield flashed and suddenly sank into the ground, disappearing without a trace as if it had never appeared.
The ghost servant guard who was bending his bow and arrow suddenly lost his target. He put down his bow and arrow in surprise, leaned forward and looked around, but could no longer see anything abnormal there - except for the white stone that missed the target. outside.
But after the white stone hit the air, it did not stop. Instead, it drew an arc in the air, went straight over the wall of the Ghost Servant Village, and shot towards the observation tower behind!
The ghost servant guards holding bows and arrows were too frightened to care about anything else, turned around and jumped off the observation tower. The guard next to him who blew the horn was not so lucky.
It was concentrating on blowing the horn when its chest was instantly pierced by the stone, and its entire body was knocked backwards. The whining sound of the horn suddenly stopped... At this moment, something suddenly flew up in the middle of the village. Three black shadows appeared, and three ghost servants exuding powerful auras jumped up. In the blink of an eye, they had flown over the village wall and rushed straight towards the direction from which the white stones came.
At this time, Qu Wuming had already taken advantage of
"Falling Star" used the earth escape method to fly a hundred feet away in the direction where the white stone flew. I have to say, this
The power of "Falling Star" is not even a little bit more powerful than the previous Wutu Orb. When I used the Wutu Orb to escape from the earth before, I could only
About five feet before "seeing" the orb, no matter how far away it was, it was pitch black, and nothing could be detected.
And this kind of
"Seeing" is also different from seeing things with the naked eye on the ground. It is more like using the Wutu Orb to amplify the power of one's spiritual consciousness, so as to observe the location that the power of spiritual consciousness can detect, such as rocks in front, Soil or tree roots, for example, whether there are metal or other objects in front that the Wutu Orb needs to avoid, etc.
When the results of this observation are fed back to the mind, it is more like a special feeling, just like the feeling in a very real dream.
You must know that when ordinary cultivators use Earth Escape, the space they can detect underground is only a foot or two away.
Why is the Wutu Orb so famous in the Eastern Continent? Just the fact that it can observe a distance of about five feet is enough to make Qu Wuming invincible in the earth escape technique.
At this time, Wutu Baozhu and
After the "falling stars" merged into one, the distance that Qu Wuming could observe actually expanded by nearly five or six times!
And when Qu Wuming deliberately increased his intensity, he could even do it in a short time
"See" the image fifty feet away! Even if it is only a distance of twenty or thirty feet under normal conditions, it is already considered out of reach for ordinary practitioners who use the earth escape technique!
This is one of the reasons why the monastic world has existed for countless thousands of years, but there are still many underground mineral veins, spiritual mines, and treasures that have not been discovered.
and
The benefit of "Falling Star" is not only the increase in observation distance - its earth escape speed is also nearly three times faster than the Wutu Orb!
What is the concept of the Earth Escape Technique that allows the Wu Earth Orb to escape three times faster? If the Earth Escape technique of an ordinary cultivator is compared to a three-year-old child walking quickly, then using the Earth Escape technique of the Wutu Orb, the Earth Escape technique is like a ten-year-old boy running at a constant speed.
and
The escape speed of "Falling Star" is three times faster than this boy's speed! Although this kind of speed is still not comparable to flying in the air, it is already unheard of and unseen.
At least in the Eastern Continent, Qu Wuming had never heard of anyone with such a high Earth Escape speed! At this time, Qu Wuming wanted to find out who threw the stone just now. After getting into the ground, he immediately maximized the detection distance. At the same time, because
The "field of vision" became extremely wide, enough to allow him to avoid many buried debris that were not conducive to earth escape in advance. With the escape speed at full speed, Qu Wuming had already discovered more than a hundred feet away almost in the blink of an eye. A figure hidden between two boulders...
"It turns out it's you!" When Qu Wuming saw that figure, he couldn't help but be surprised...
