The tearing force in the whirlpool was disorderly and brutal.
Xiang Shu endured the dizziness. After a brief period of darkness, he was suddenly pushed out of the whirlpool and fell into the wet dead branches and leaves. The smell of decaying earth poured into his nose.
The raindrops hit my back with a chill, and the roar of corpses in my ears was no longer replaced by the crisp sound of raindrops hitting the leaves. The surroundings seemed extremely quiet.
Xiang Shen raised his head and looked around, his eyes a little dazed.
All she could see was that the surrounding tall trees were blocking out the sky, the light was dim, and there was no sunlight. It was like just one step away, she had crossed thousands of miles from the ancient city to a vast and boundless rain forest.
Could it be that the attack by the corpse puppet caused some kind of change in the entrance and the message was sent to the wrong place?
She straightened up and patted the mud on her body, raised her sleeves to wipe away the blood around her mouth, and took out the bloodline emblem that was close to her body. She felt a little at ease when she saw that it was glowing slightly.
If the coat of arms is sensitive, it means that this is the ancestral land. But generally speaking of ancestral lands, they are cemeteries with many ancestors' tombs, but I didn't expect that this Lu family's ancestral land is actually a rainforest.
While his thoughts were swirling, Xiang Shen looked around, but there was no sign of Lu Zhu.
Lu Zhu did indeed come in. The time difference between him and her was no more than one breath, but they were not in the same place.
In other words, the entrance vortex is most likely used for random teleportation, and everyone who enters the ancestral land is temporarily separated.
After all, Lu Zhu is a direct descendant of the Lu family. The place he is transported to should be much better than himself, right?
Thinking like this, Xiang Shu felt slightly at ease, but suddenly there was a sharp pain in her chest. She couldn't help covering her mouth and coughing, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.
She frowned slightly.
Trouble.
The corpse puppet's blow was so powerful that even with the bone knife as a buffer, it still hurt his heart.
Looking left and right, Xiang Shu took out the spirit dagger and cut a thick branch to use as a walking stick. After walking not far, he found a small cave where he could hide, but it was already occupied by a wild bear.
Xiang Xiang approached quietly with a cane, and observed him for a moment from a distance of ten feet, then threw out the spiritual dagger.
"puff!"
There was a soft sound, and the spirit dagger hit the wild bear between his eyebrows, killing him silently.
Xiang Yu frowned slightly, bent over and pulled out the spiritual dagger, put the wild bear corpse into the storage ring, sat down on the still warm hay, circulated his true energy, evaporated the soaked clothes, and temporarily stabilized Come down.
Crash--
The rain outside became more and more intense, dripping down the rocks and forming a line.
Xiang Shuo sat cross-legged on the ground and groped for a while for a storage ring. He found a jade box four feet long and good in depth. He barely used it as a basin and placed it under the rock to catch the water drops.
After doing this, Xiang Shu took out a healing elixir and put it on the tip of his tongue. His true energy circulated and he slowly fell into concentration.
As time passed, the sky gradually darkened.
Boom!
A snake-shaped lightning flashed across the sky, lighting up the night sky.
Xiang Shu woke up from his trance, his eyes were alert, he listened around for a moment, and then quietly stood up.
She tried to move her limbs twice and found that the injury was 60 to 70% better and did not affect her movements. She suddenly looked slightly relaxed.
When I turned around, I saw that the jade box at the door was filled with rainwater, and a lot of it had already overflowed.
She walked over, carefully moved the jade box into the cave, and placed it in front of the hay. Then he took out all the empty bottles in the storage ring and placed them under the rock to continue collecting water.
After doing this, Xiang Shu took out a corner of the array plate, walked to the jade box, and gently threw it into the water.
With a soft plop, a corner of the array plate slipped into the water and quickly sank to the bottom.
Xiang Shu sat down cross-legged, a subtle light flashed in his eyes.
She was not going to find Lu Zhu.
Those who can enter here are either the disciples of the sect or the elites of the cultivation family. She is definitely no match.
If the entrance vortex is really randomly teleported, then the probability of her encountering an enemy while walking around in the rain forest is much higher than that of Lu Zhu.
She couldn't do that kind of thing to seek death.
Coincidentally, the sun shines brightly all day in Xuanwang City, but it is raining in this ancestral land. There is no water supply, so it is not too late to complete the "Breathing Concentration Technique" first, and then go out.
…
The jade box can hold very little rainwater, not to mention one cup, at most three cups, so the soaking time will naturally be shortened.
Xiang Shu waited patiently, taking a small sip from time to time. In less than half an hour, he tasted the essence of the spring.
She immediately put all the water in the jade box into the gourd, picked up a few jade bottles at the door and poured it back into the jade box to continue soaking.
In this way, it took a whole night.
The next morning, the sky cleared after the rain.
Xiang Shu poured the last batch of rainwater into the jade box, and two large gourds were already filled around him.
After cleaning up roughly, Xiang Shu drank a large mouthful of spring water and started practicing the "Breathe Concentration Technique" without stopping.
The "Breath Condensation Technique" is indeed as described in the records. With the help of spring water, it is extremely simple to practice. It only took a moment for Xiang Shu to draw out a very special ray of vitality from the spring water in advance.
With a thought in her mind, she integrated this ray of vitality into the spiritual platform, and all the escape paths around the spiritual platform were immediately closed. Even Xiang Shen himself could not sense any leakage.
Done!
Xiang Shen was delighted and immediately concentrated on refining the spring water.
After being refined, the spiritual energy of the spring water has not disappeared. Instead, it has merged into the Dantian as the true essence circulates, causing the true essence to further grow...
Two days later——
Inside the cave, two gourds lay empty.
Xiang Shu still maintained the cross-sitting posture he had two days ago, with a pale white mist lingering around him.
This situation lasted for less than a quarter of an hour. The pale white mist suddenly penetrated into the pores of the turtle and gathered at the Consciousness Sea Spirit Platform. The condensed mist entangled for a moment, and finally turned into an illusory white bead.
According to the secret method, this bead is called the breath gathering bead, and it can absorb the vitality of the spring water on its own. Even if the vitality is exhausted, it will form an empty shell to guard the spiritual platform, and there is no need to practice again.
As soon as this bead settled on the spiritual platform, patterns immediately appeared on the surface. The lines were curved and spreading, mysterious and obscure, and they were similar to the pattern of the formation plate.
At this point, the breath-containing technique has been completed.
Xiang Shen suddenly opened his eyes, and was about to withdraw his power and stand up. His mind drifted over his Dantian and he saw the full amount of true energy in his Dantian, and he was suddenly stunned.
Such true strength...
She raised her hand to condense a ball of true energy, and a strange look appeared on her face.
After two days of seclusion, her entire mind was focused on the breathing technique, but she didn't realize that her true energy was also affected by the spiritual spring. She made rapid progress and reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi training without realizing it.
She used her true energy at will, only to feel that it was thicker and more condensed than before. Apart from the slow-moving defects caused by the mental method, she didn't feel empty.
This fact was unexpected, but after thinking about it carefully, Xiang Shu felt that it was reasonable.
Yuanquan's spiritual energy was abundant. Previously, half a gourd could save her several months of hard work, allowing her to easily break through the fifth level of Qi training. This time, she drank two full gourds in one go. It would be abnormal if she did not reach the peak of Qi training.
It's just that... my family knows their own affairs. She was more than twice as powerful as she was two days ago, but in the eyes of the foundation-building monks, she was at most a slightly larger ant and could still be easily crushed to death.
If you don't know how high the sky is because of this small gain, you may die without knowing how.
Slowly exhaling a breath, the joy in Xiang Shen's eyes quickly faded away, and he regained his clarity. He stood up and packed away the sundries.
After being delayed here for three full days, it was time to go out and investigate the situation.
After two days of soaking, the rainwater in the jade box had long since turned into a spring. He put it into a gourd for emergency use. After carefully covering up the traces of the two days, he left the cave without any regrets.
The moment he stepped out of the cave, he thought to himself, and the breath gathering beads in the spiritual platform immediately began to rotate. White mist escaped from the surface of the beads, disappearing the breath.
Xiang Sheng took out the bloodline emblem and looked at it for a moment. Seeing that it was still only emitting a weak light, he grabbed it in the palm of his hand and walked in a random direction.
Three hours later, Xiang Shu stopped. She looked at the dense rainforest around her and frowned slightly.
Not quite right.
This rainforest seems too vast. She walked for so long and encountered many snakes, insects, rats, and ants, but she didn't meet anyone. Did they find the secret location in the past two days, or does the rain forest have another mystery?
With this thought in mind, Xiang Shu did not adjust his direction and continued walking forward.
After walking for an hour this time, Xiang Shu suddenly felt a warmth in his palms.
She immediately raised her hand and spread her palm, only to see a strange bloody symbol forming in the center of the originally light red coat of arms.
The bloody symbol floated out, turned into a ball of light, swayed for a moment, and suddenly shot away to the left.
Xiang Shen immediately caught up with him, but saw that as he chased deeper, the greenery of the trees on both sides gradually faded away, and strange pale patches appeared among the branches and leaves, as if white long worms were twisting and crawling.
Xiang Shen only glanced at it, and then she felt dizzy. She immediately looked away, and her heart was awe-inspiring. She was hesitating whether to continue chasing, but at this moment, the bloody symbol stopped and fell back into the coat of arms.
She put away her coat of arms, avoiding the pale color on the branches and leaves, and looked around cautiously. Just as she took a step, her feet suddenly felt soft, as if she had stepped on cotton and almost sunk in.
He took back his right foot in time, lowered his head to take a closer look, and suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
What he had just stepped on was clearly a bloody corpse. His face was bleeding from all the orifices, his eyes were wide-eyed, and he looked like he was dead.
Wan Zilin? !
Xiang Shu recognized the identity of the corpse, his pupils shrank slightly, and he was about to squat down to examine the injuries, when he saw the corpse suddenly began to sink slowly.
It didn't take long for the body to be completely swallowed up by the ground, and the blood stains spreading around it were also absorbed, leaving no trace left, as if the body just seen was just an illusion.
Xiang Yu stared at the ground for a moment, and a chill suddenly surged through his heart.
Is this why she can't meet anyone?
Wan Zilin was a foundation-building monk, and even he died quietly...
wrong!
Xiang Shu's color suddenly changed and he immediately realized something.
Only this time, the escape was a step too late.
The surrounding white spots disguised as branches and leaves trembled slightly, and the next moment——
Pale vines shot out all over the sky, entangled Xiang Yu's limbs and body in the blink of an eye, and finally wrapped her whole body into a huge white takraw ball.
