"Ah?" Yun Jinfan didn't understand for a moment.
However, she saw that the long brocade whip appeared in Zhao Ning's hand, and when she swung it upward, she reminded the three of them to "step back."
The black dragon emerged from the long whip, roared, and headed straight to the top of the rock. There was a loud rumble, young bats flying around, smoke filling the sky, and mud and rocks falling.
Large swathes of roof rock were broken into pieces, and a glimmer of light was faintly visible.
Everyone used their spiritual swords to block the attack to avoid being accidentally injured by the young bats scurrying around, while they stared at the strange changes above their heads.
"Zhao Ning, is this cave going to collapse?"
Yun Jinfan was nervous. The falling rocks and the smoke and dust in the sky had left them with no place to stay.
But Zhao Ning just waited. When the ink dragon disappeared in the smoke, she performed a dust-clearing spell. The dust and smoke faded away, leaving a mess on the ground, but a new world on top.
It seemed as if it had been dug upwards by nearly ten feet. The tangled vines were intertwined and entwined. The veins on the leaves were clearly visible. The edges were jagged like blades. Spiritual energy traveled along the vines as if they had substance.
"Look inside, what is that?!" Chen Tian shouted in shock.
After the vines overlapped for several feet, a solitary fruit was looming. The fruit was transparent and round in appearance, green in color and red in color. If you observe it with the Lingmu Jue, you can see the pure fire spirit gathering on it.
"Could this be the Zhu Guo that Senior Brother Jia Rui got?"
"The red fruit is naturally long. It is said that it can only be mutated in the place where the wood and fire attributes meet. It takes a hundred years to bloom and bear fruit. It is not a natural treasure, but it is very close to a natural treasure." Chen Tian murmured. .
Mingluo nodded in a daze, as if he was blinded by the opportunity. He only said his first reaction when he saw it for the first time, "These vines have never been seen in Kunxu. They seem to be the ghost crying vines in Netherworld State."
The Land of the Netherworld is located in the northwest of Kyushu. It is eroded by the Demonic Wasteland of the West, making it difficult for all living things to grow. Most of the mountains, rocks, grass and trees are dark purple, so some special creatures are born, and the Ghost Crying Vine is one of them.
The Ghost Crying Vine is a strangled plant with saw-tooth-shaped leaves and sharp thorns attached to its body. Its sap is highly poisonous. It likes to be eaten alive. When preying, it makes a sound similar to the cry of a ghost baby. After they devour the flesh and blood, they convert it into pure wood spiritual energy. , is an extremely dangerous demon vine.
"A Ghost Crying Vine so strong must have been growing for nearly a thousand years." Zhao Ning speculated.
Yun Jinfan crossed his arms, goosebumps rising up again and again, "Hurry... hurry up, if you get entangled, you will be eaten alive..."
But no one paid attention to her words. The three of them were all immersed in their own thoughts.
Mingluo said, "Junior sister Yun and Han Ying were able to approach smoothly because the bat swarm was resisting the Devil's Crying Vine and had no time to be distracted until they went deep into the hinterland and the bat swarm had to withdraw to attack."
"Use bats to raise vines, use vines to raise fruits, use fruits to raise bats, and use the bat swarm and the ghost crying vine to double prevent others from prying." Zhao Ning lowered his eyes, "It's really a good method."
"Ah? You mean this Zhu Guo has been trapped?" Yun Jinfan realized at this time, "It's like raising a Gu. Why don't we go."
Minluo raised her lips and smiled, "How many are there? Are you leaving?"
Zhao Ning raised her eyes, "I'm not interested in Zhu Guo, but I'm a little curious about the Devil's Crying Vine."
Mingluo and Chen Tian smiled at each other, "What a coincidence, we have no interest in the Ghost Crying Vine, we are only interested in this newly grown red fruit."
"The Ghost Crying Vine is not very intelligent. If it locks onto an enemy, it will attack with all its strength."
They all looked at Zhao Ning, "Senior Sister, could you please tempt me for a moment?"
Zhao Ning nodded.
Yun Jinfan was confused, "What riddles are you playing?"
As soon as she finished asking, she saw Min Luo and Chen Tian suddenly flying up, carrying their spiritual swords forward, awakening the sleeping Ghost Crying Vine. The vine body twisted and intertwined like a long snake in an instant, and Zhao Ning took action at this moment.
The Xunfeng Qingyu Spirit Book was unfolded, and the whip shadow was swept by the wind, tearing the vines to the outside, leaving an upward passage. The vines screamed from nowhere, and the sound of the wind became more and more terrifying.
After the whip shadow, Zhao Ning's figure appeared and flew towards the main vine hidden behind many thin vines. The vines clung to the wall and the leaves on the vines had bright lines. When they sensed the culprit, the leaves shot out directly, with jagged edges.
Yunsi Qianhuan Cloak appeared on his body, easily blocking all attacks.
The cloak disappeared again, and Zhao Ning was already in front of the main vine. A sharp short knife glowed with cold light, and the next moment, it pierced into the main vine.
"Hey——" A shrill cry was heard, and the last layer of vines on the top was spread out twitchingly.
"There's a chance!" Minluo shouted.
Chen Tian stretched out his hand towards Zhu Guo, and just as he was about to touch it, he suddenly noticed that the roots of the Devil's Crying Vine on the top also came to life, and countless roots whipped out.
At the critical moment, the two of them cut off several roots with their spiritual swords at the same time.
Chen Tian started picking fruits again, and the burning sensation in his hands made his palms seem to melt.
"I got it!" Chen Tian was overjoyed.
Mingluo pulled him and was about to go down, but felt that the surrounding vines were shrinking rapidly. This guy's target of attack shifted from Zhao Ning to the two of them, wanting to hang them and turn them into fertilizer.
The two swords kept chopping the indented vines, but there were too many, too many to cut through. However, in the blink of an eye, the vines had wrapped themselves into a huge cocoon around them.
"Senior Sister Ming, we can't go on like this." Chen Tian shouted.
Mingluo frowned, thinking that Zhao Ning could not resist outside, so he turned over his hand and took out a spiritual talisman, the best fire-control talisman.
"Be careful, I'm going to burn these annoying vines."
Just when she was about to tear open the ultimate fire-bending talisman, strangely, the vines began to retract, and the intertwined vine cage gradually opened the gaps. Then, the vines lost their vitality and fell to the ground one after another.
Chen Tian and Mingluo flew down, put away the red fruits in jade boxes, and asked Yun Jinfan, "What's going on? Where is Zhao Ning?"
Yun Jinfan was looking up in shock, and she pointed upward blankly.
The two of them also followed and watched, only to see Zhao Ning fly to the height of the original bat den at some point, and use a short knife to break through the remnants of the formation. After the formation was completely dissipated, she took out the dark purple and goose bats from the rock formations. A crystal object the size of an egg.
Zhao Ning fell to the ground, and the three of them saw clearly that the thing in her hand was not a crystal or a fruit, but a seed.
Said to be a seed, it would be more appropriate to call it the vitality core of the Devil's Crying Vine.
There is a saying in Kyushu's aspiration that when the Ghost Crying Vine encounters a life and death crisis, it breaks off its branches to lock in its vitality, hides it in the rocks, and awakens it with blood.
"Senior Sister's skill in seizing the vine seeds also helped us get out of trouble." Chen Tian smiled and cupped his hands towards Zhao Ning.
Zhao Ning put away the vine seeds and asked them what to do with the red fruit. After all, it was not fully mature yet and might not be able to achieve the effect of transforming into a fire spirit body.
Mingluo smiled and said, "Now I have to ask my junior sister for another favor."
"Senior Sister Ming, it doesn't matter."
"I would like to ask you to help us connect with Grandmaster Huo Rong and invite Grandmaster Huo Rong to refine an elixir. The elixir is called Huozhendan. I heard that it can increase the strength of the fire spirit root. Zhuguo is the main elixir."
"There are three to four pills in a furnace, and one pill will be given as a thank you gift."
Zhao Ning didn't respond. She glanced not far away. Yun Jinfan didn't know if he heard them talking. She lowered her head and tapped her toes, as if she was annoyed or depressed.
Zhao Ning smiled and answered Mingluo, "Senior Sister Ming should know that I measured the four elements of spiritual roots in the Xiaoluo Cauldron, but there was no fire spiritual root. This pill was useless to me, but it was Senior Sister Yun who killed all the bat monsters at the beginning. If you have merit, give it to her.”
"This..." Mingluo and Chen Tian hesitated, but Yun Jinfan was of no help once she entered the cave. No matter how stunning and beautiful she was before, people subconsciously ignored her. However, since Zhao Ning said this, they didn't have to worry about it.
Chen Tian called out to Yun Jinfan and gave an overview of the gift. Yun Jinfan was surprised and pleasantly surprised. He looked at Zhao Ning with a bit of shame and said thank you sheepishly.
Zhao Ning pursed her lips and smiled, but didn't say much.
After all this tossing, everyone was a little tired, so Mingluo suggested that they take a rest in the cave and then explore the secret realm together.
The cave gradually became quiet, and Zhao Ning sat cross-legged and meditated in the corner.
After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly opened her eyes.
Her eyes turned to Yun Jinfan who was not far away. She stared at Zhao Ning expressionlessly, her eyes white and cold. Others around her had their eyes closed and there was little movement, as if they were frozen.
Zhao Ning smiled lightly, "Senior, do you have any advice?"
Chapter 107
"I warned you."
His voice was cold, as if it had climbed up from hell.
Zhao Ning Ba Feng remained motionless, with a calm expression, and only smiled slightly, "Senior said it's strange, it's because you failed to control Yun Jinfan, come closer to me."
Suddenly a strong wind blew up, and the broken rocks on the ground rose out of thin air, and the sharp points were close to being condensed.
The Yunsi Qianhuan Cloak appeared again, and the clear light shone around, stopping the broken rock that was approaching three inches.
With a bang, a wave was created at a certain point between the two of them, and all the broken rocks hovering in the air were shattered.
"I won't kill you." The mysterious man said coldly, "Jin Fan said you are a kind person, but I think you are cold-hearted and cunning. Don't think I can't tell. When you saw Jin Fan trapped in a swarm of bats, When you have murderous intentions, even if you want to use the True Fire Pill to counteract it, it won't change the fact. Sooner or later, I will make you pay for it."
Zhao Ning's voice was calm, "Senior, killing me is like pinching an ant, why do you have to kill me sooner or later?"
She looked at "Yun Jinfan" and said, "Killing means really wanting to kill, and giving is also a real gift. There is no need to mix it up. If senior is unhappy, it is better to take action now to avoid any grudges."
The air seemed to have condensed, and white frost seemed to have condensed on the bodies of the others who were immobilized.
"Hahahahaha." The mysterious man suddenly laughed wildly, and after the wild laughter, he became even colder, "Don't try to provoke me. You stole Jin Fan's favor and killed you, which made me and Jin Fan stagger for nothing. Why are you doing this? An ant is really not worth it."
"Senior's heart is so touching. He lives the same life as heaven, is honored by Kyushu, and enjoys immortal blessings forever, but he bends down to guard a young girl. I am a little envious of Junior Sister Yun." Zhao Ning said in a calm tone, and she didn't know why. True envy or implicit ridicule.
Surprisingly, the speaker is hiding his thoughts and the listener is speechless, seeming to be deep in thought or wandering.
It took a long time to regain consciousness, all emotions were hidden, and there was only deathly silence in the cave.
He also warned Zhao Ning, "My patience has its limits. Stay away from Jin Fan. Don't try to pry into my relationship with her, let alone rob Jin Fan of his opportunity."
Zhao Ning raised her eyes, with the same cold expression as him, "What a coincidence, my patience has its limits. If she walks the right path, nothing will happen to her. If she uses tricks to steal skills and seize opportunities, I will never let her go."
"Tsk--" The mysterious man sneered disdainfully. At this time, his brows twitched unnaturally. Yun Jinfan seemed to wake up. The mysterious man disappeared, leaving only a condescending contempt in Zhao Ning's ear, "What qualifications do you have to threaten me? Take care of yourself." yourself!"
qualifications? Even if the earthworm can shake the towering trees, why can't she drag the Venerable to reincarnation?
Zhao Ning closed her eyes.
"Hey! What's going on? Why are there so many powders on the ground! Hiss - it's so cold!" Yun Jinfan's confused and frightened voice rang out. She shook Minluo and shivered from the frost on Minluo's body, " Senior Sister Ming!”
Mingluo trembled and woke up faintly. Yun Jinfan ran to call Zhao Ning again, "Zhao Ning, Zhao Ning, wake up."
"What happened? Why was I almost frozen?" Minluo woke up completely and went to find Chen Tian in surprise.
Zhao Ning pretended to be awake at this moment and looked at Yun Jinfan with confused eyes, Yun Jinfan was also at a loss.
Chen Tian finally woke up, looking at the mess on the ground, the frost all over his body shook, and he was extremely alert, "We are obviously just adjusting our breath, but we will lose consciousness at the same time?"
He subconsciously looked up at the location of the original formation. The formation was actually just a breath-holding restriction that had been destroyed by condensation. However, he still couldn't help but look at the formation. In a short time, he could only attribute this accident to the past thousand years. On the front formation.
"Could it be that the senior who raised Zhu Guo also set up a freezing formation in addition to the formation."
No one could answer, Zhao Ning only said, "It's better to leave here, we have other places to explore."
"Yes, yes, let's go quickly." Mingluo nodded hurriedly and hurried away first.
