As they escaped the impact of the crystal beast's collision, Qi Linfeng and the others felt like they had been saved. Looking at the dense forest behind them that was constantly filled with dust and smoke and roaring, they couldn't help but break into a cold sweat, "It is indeed a relic." , they say it’s better to enter the spirit group than to enter the ruins, today I really experienced it, if it weren’t for your quick reaction, Brother Qi, we might not even know how to die.”
There are many dangers in the ruins, giving people a feeling of danger that is no less than or even far greater than that of the evil spirits forest outside. Although he has escaped, Qi Linfeng ignored it. At this moment, he was also focused on secretly following the figure in the darkness. Although it is not clear whether it is a human, an animal or an evil spirit, at least it can be judged that its size is not much different from that of an average adult. "Everyone, please stay vigilant. It is not time to relax yet. Maybe it will happen again later." What happened?"
"But gangster, why do we keep following that thing in front of us? After all, we don't even know what it looks like."
Luo Hong and Guo Zicong also looked puzzled, "Aren't you curious?"
"What are you curious about?"
"Although those crystal beasts just have a single attack method, it is not easy for even a master of the Yuling general level to deal with it, but the thing in front of it can actually kill a crystal beast on the spot with one blow, without even having a chance to resist. None. Although it is said that it took advantage of the chaos, it also shows that that thing knows the weak points of the crystal beast very well, so it can kill it with one blow, so no matter what it is, it must be very familiar with things in this place."
Guo Zicong nodded in agreement, "Well, so you mean to follow it to see if you can find a way out or something else?"
"That's right."
"Then, what if it's another kind of monster that I haven't seen before?"
"Have you ever seen a monster that can use a spear? And even if it is a monster, it can know how to hunt crystal beasts in the chaos, which at least shows that it has a certain degree of intelligence. If it has intelligence, it will always be easier to communicate than those crystal beasts just now."
The three people also understood, but in fact it was more than that, "The direction that the thing ran seems to be consistent with the light. Whether it is a person or something else, it is necessary to find out."
However, as they followed deeper, the originally vast forest of giant trees gradually revealed its edges. Several people did not even know how long they had been following. After leaving the forest of giant trees, what they saw was an even more vast and boundless forest. The grassland is full of green grass and wild flowers. However, the target that was originally being followed disappeared without a trace when they left the forest. "What's going on? I was following you all the time. How come there is no cover here?" But the grassland of animals has disappeared?”
"Did you see a ghost?"
Just when the four of them were confused about the situation, a wound appeared on Guo Zicong's arm out of nowhere, like a knife cut, dripping with blood. "Be alert! Where did the attack come from?!" But the four of them were backed by each other. Looking at it, he still couldn't find any trace of the attack, let alone the place where the attack came from. "Zicong, what attacked you just now?"
"No, I don't know. I was already injured when I reacted. I didn't see or sense any attack. It was like a wound appeared out of thin air."
Luo Hong looked helpless, "Appearing out of thin air? How is it possible...ah." But before she could finish speaking, a similar wound appeared on her waist. Although it was not too deep, there was still blood. , the injury was obviously serious, Qi Linfeng and the others were completely shocked, "Qi, Qi Linfeng, what on earth is going on?" Long Yuyun couldn't help but exclaimed, after all, the situation in front of him was really weird.
"Miss, be careful!" At this moment, Qi Linfeng suddenly placed the Fire Meteor Sword horizontally on Long Yuyun's abdomen. A clear and loud impact sounded, and when the sound dissipated, there was a tiny spark. Vaguely, "This is...an attack and collision..."
At this time, Guo Zicong and the three of them all had horrified expressions on their faces, "What's going on?"
"I, I can't explain it clearly. It seems like my sword is pulling me to fight back."
"Counterattack? Then what kind of attack can leave no trace at all? No matter how fast it is, it won't disappear without a trace."
When Qi Linfeng also looked confused, Yinglong's voice came from the spiritual realm, "Old guy, your five senses are blocked, what happened?"
"The five senses are closed? I don't know. Did you feel something strange just now?"
"Everything I hear, see, and hear in your spiritual realm comes from you. Once your five senses are closed, the spiritual realm will be as dark as night. You just suddenly closed it off."
The Fire Meteor Sword waved again, blocking the incoming invisible attack, "It was fine in the forest, but why did it happen as soon as we came out of the forest... Could it be that our five senses were blocked the moment we came out?"
Ying Long also agreed, "That should be the case. There are only two possibilities for this situation now. Either you were controlled by something and blocked your five senses instantly, or you were poisoned. I am more inclined to the latter."
"Poison? Why?"
"Because if you can seal off your five senses silently without even me being aware of it, it is impossible for your Fire Meteor Sword to not react at all to something of this level. You haven't seen it until now." Other than resisting attacks, the Fire Meteor Sword has nothing special about it."
Qi Linfeng asked the sword spirit, and the sword spirit only stated that except that the thing it attacked was a simple spiritual weapon, there was nothing else, "That means it could only be poison, but we didn't eat or drink, how could it happen?" "Chong..." Suddenly, he looked around and saw a purple-blue color among the vast grass and wild flowers. The knowledge flashed in his mind and he recognized the reason, "That's the dream flower!"
Without further ado, Qi Linfeng fully activated his spiritual power, "Miss, you all must use all your spiritual power to protect yourselves." Although they were puzzled, the three of them still did as they were told. Qi Linfeng Feng's attack suddenly came out, "Meeting Fire Moves the Stars!"
Hundreds of fireballs fell, razing everything hundreds of meters around the four people to the ground. Amidst the raging fire, the dream flower hidden among the dense grass and wild flowers also dissipated and dissolved. In the sight of Qi Linfeng, the surrounding scenery that was originally empty for thousands of miles was like a broken curtain, rapidly disintegrating and floating away. As the five senses recovered, the huge crystal beast corpse reappeared in front of Qi Linfeng and the others, and in front of them Next to the corpse, the figure of a young man instantly attracted the attention of the four people.
"Brother Qi, what exactly are we here..."
"From the moment we left the forest of giant trees, we were poisoned by the poison of dream spirit flowers hidden around us. You will understand just by looking at the air around us."
The three of them looked around and saw strands of blue mist floating in the air. If Qi Linfeng hadn't pointed it out, Guo Zicong and the others might not have been able to see or notice it. "Mengling flowers usually grow in A large number of corpses are scattered all over the place, feeding on flesh and blood, and absorbing resentment as a supplement. They are not harmful in themselves, and they even exist like cleaners who deal with the decay of all things in nature."
"If that's the case, how can we say we were poisoned?"
"The Dream Flower itself is non-toxic, but when the corpses of all things are digested, it will naturally turn into something else. Therefore, where the Dream Flowers gather and grow, the unique gas produced by the digestion of corpses will gather in the air. Once the amount reaches a certain level, , it is no different from poison, and it is one of the most violent poisons in the world. It will seal off the five senses of the person who inhales it, leaving them here forever, becoming a living fossil, and finally dying. This may be one of nature's effects on life. a protective mechanism."
Long Yuyun looked at the surroundings. Although the weather was gloomy and the situation was no longer the same, in fact, except for the place burned by the fire, it was not much different from just now. "But it doesn't look like a place full of corpses. On the contrary, it doesn't look like a place full of corpses." This grassland is so vast and full of life.”
Qi Linfeng couldn't help but stamp his feet, "Really, have you ever thought about why the land under our feet is so vibrant, not only a forest of giant trees, but also this vast grassland that stretches as far as the eye can see? The most important thing is, Although this grassland is dominated by flowers and plants, it has a wide variety of species and is very complete. Can ordinary grasslands maintain such a vital system?"
"So, gangster, what you mean is..."
"I'm afraid that the land beneath our feet has buried countless corpses of living things." Thinking of this, the two girls, Long Yuyun and Luo Hong, couldn't help but shudder. However, the situation in front of them was obviously They couldn't help but relax, and heard the young man next to the crystal beast's body gradually reveal his figure from the fireworks, "You were able to fight back even when you were poisoned, and even destroyed the dream flower, why?"
"Haven't you heard? Fire can suppress hundreds of poisons. Unfortunately, I am of the fire attribute. Maybe my spiritual power has a certain natural resistance to poison." But Qi Linfeng knew very well that if not Ying Long warned that he might be in danger too.
However, when the young man revealed his full face, Qi Linfeng and others were dumbfounded, because the young man in front of them actually still stood with a pair of wolf ears and even a wolf tail waving behind him. In addition, there were With those sharp cyan pupils, he looked like a wild beast, "Here, what on earth is this guy?"
It's not that Qi Linfeng didn't know that although spiritual beasts with intelligence can walk upright and even communicate with people, he has never seen such a half-human, half-animal appearance. Qi Linfeng looked at it Guo Zicong, but Guo Zicong was also full of doubts at this moment, "He has the characteristics of a beast, but he is also a human body. Among spiritual beasts, only the strongest Beast King of the highest level can transform. Is this guy the Beast King?!"
Hearing this, Qi Linfeng was also shocked, "Is this the Beast King? No way, it is said that the Beast King is as powerful as the human spirit king. However, the training of beasts is a hundred times more difficult than that of humans, so if you become the King He is much stronger than the king of the human race, but the person in front of me doesn't seem to give me the powerful aura of an emperor dominating the world, what's going on?"
Ying Long sneered, "Of course it's because the kid in front of me is not the king of beasts, he is just a mixed-blood bastard, an orc."
"Orcs?!" The records in Qi Linfeng's mind flashed, "The spiritual gods came to the world, spread their essence and blood, and transformed into thousands of evil spirits. For thousands of years, humans and the orcs have had to unite to fight. The two races have blended together for nearly ten thousand years. The highest spiritual beasts can also transform into humans, so there have been hybrids of humans and beasts. However, such existences are extremely difficult to appear, and the survival rate is as low as almost zero. Even if they are born, they will likely die young, and orcs He is one of the two hybrids, but how could he appear in this ruin space?"
"No need to ask, it seems that the kid in front of me is the bloodline of which beast king is left behind, but he is younger than expected."
"But Yinglong, how are you sure it's an orc? Couldn't it be another kind of hybrid, a fairy?"
"Of course it's not a goblin. Look at the body of that imp, and the power it had to kill the crystal beast with one blow before, and drag the huge body so far effortlessly. This is not an orc. Compared with an orc, The goblin has an astonishing physique, and most notably, immense strength, although his spiritual power is generally low." Qi Linfeng observed carefully that although the young man's body was slightly thin, there was an indescribable feeling between his skin. The feeling of hardness and heaviness, especially the vascular veins, is even more abrupt and obvious, as if every bit of blood flowing in the body is so steady and powerful.
"And compared with those goblins who are physically weak but proficient in various spiritual secret skills, doesn't this kid not have the most prominent feature of goblins, wings? He doesn't have hybrid wings. This is the fundamental thing."
Qi Linfeng understood clearly, "Indeed, according to records, if you are a fairy, you will turn into wings. Because you are born with a weak body, even ordinary people can easily kill them, so you need wings."
Guo Zicong and the others still don't know the situation. Facing a terrifying and powerful existence that may be the Beast King, they can't help feeling uneasy at this moment. "Really, is it really the Beast King? Then, shouldn't we follow him? If it makes it angry... ..."
"Don't worry, he is not the Beast King." Qi Linfeng appeased the uneasiness of several people, "He is a hybrid of human and spiritual beast, an orc." However, Guo Zicong and the others obviously have not been exposed to the knowledge about orcs, so they can only With a look of confusion on his face, he looked at the crude spear weapon in the hands of the orc young man. It seemed that it was a spiritual weapon discarded by an unknown number of seniors. It was very broken, but it still retained its sharpness. "Sorry, we don't mean any harm. Please forgive me." Let us explain it first.”
"Hmph, you have followed the crystal beast herd here without any malice. You are outsiders, and you actually walked into the crystal beast herd's lair by yourself. It's a pity that you can get rid of the dream spirit flower poison. If you can directly like It would be fine if those people before just kept making fertilizer."
Following the young man's pointing, he saw dozens of figures lying vaguely on one side of the grassland, and they were obviously lifeless. From a rough look, it seemed that they had entered earlier than Qi Linfeng and the others. Among the people here, I even saw the shadows of several masters of the spirit generals.
"He, are they all dead, even the Yuling General?"
Qi Linfeng couldn't help but sigh, "It is indeed Mengling flower poison. It is so hard to guard against and kills people invisible." Guo Zicong looked at the young man with a normal expression, "Then why does this guy seem to have no impact at all?"
"Because orcs also have an innate advantage, which is the resistance to poison brought by their blood. Ordinary poisons have no effect on them. And judging from his appearance, it seems that he has lived here for who knows how long, so he is naturally not afraid of dreams. The poisonous gas of the spirit flower.”
While Qi Linfeng and the others were still going through the process to figure out the current situation, the orc young man obviously didn't give them a chance. He directly raised the spear in his hand, with veins popping out in his hands and feet, accumulating strength, and rushed towards Qi Linfeng and the others. Coming, like a tiger coming out of its cage,
"The village chief said that we must not be allowed to be found by outsiders. Outsiders will die~!"
