Suddenly the red light exploded, and the flaming red flag nailed to the tower popped, revealing its original shape. It turned out to be a towering tree.
As soon as the towering tree appeared, it shook violently, and countless vines sprang out. The four warriors were the first to bear the brunt. They were unable to fight back. They screamed and tried their best to no avail, and were swept away by the vines. At the same time, those strong men dressed as scholars and academics who were watching the battle from a distance were also implicated. They had a premonition that something was not going to happen and immediately dispersed, but how could they escape? In the end, even the chariots were not spared. They were attacked one after another and no one escaped.
"What kind of tree is this?"
"...Ah! It's the World Tree!"
"Set it on fire!"
"I have Beiming Lihuo Yidou here, go!"
There are strong people who use powerful Lihuo, but the result is like adding fuel to the fire. The more it burns, the stronger it becomes, and the vine becomes tougher.
"Mediocre, mediocre! Jin Kemu, I have a pot of Xinjin Divine Water here..."
"Yes, Jin Kemu, I have a Chunyang Gengjin party here..."
…
Boom, boom, boom…
"ah……"
They screamed again and again, and everyone's skin and flesh were torn, and their intestines were torn...
Everyone used their magical powers, magical weapons, treasures, etc. Unexpectedly, the towering trees and vines were impervious to all kinds of evil and refused to reject anyone who came. Whether they were tangible objects or invisible auras, they were all swept away and devoured. After a while, The area fell silent again.
The cold wind howled, and a "Haqiu" sneeze broke the silence of Li Xiu and the others on the other side. Zhu Menghai sat here all night, feeling a little unable to bear it.
Li Xiu rested his arms on the back of his head and slept on the grass. He opened his eyes at this moment, stood up and stretched his body. I saw that Zhu Menghai looked very poor, his eyes were glowing green, and he had lost a lot of weight overnight. Li Xiu went over to take Zhu Menghai's pulse and check. The situation was okay. There were no extra bones growing in Zhu Menghai's body, but Zhu Menghai still had a pulse showing excessive blood loss. Li Xiu pondered, and it seemed that he might not be able to survive the seven days just by asking him to go on a hunger strike.
Passing a can of water to Zhu Menghai, who drank it all, Li Xiu said: "Although the mutation in your body has been temporarily contained, your physical condition will become very bad in less than half a day. A hunger strike alone is a temporary cure." If you don’t treat the root cause, it will take an ordinary person seven or eight days to starve to death or even starve to death if you don’t eat. You estimate that it only takes three days to turn into a mummy, but that’s not okay!”
Zhu Menghai drank a can of water before he felt less dizzy. At this moment, he came back to his senses and said: "No matter what method you use, you can do it to me, even if you let me go to clinical experiments and dissect me, I don't want to change." Into monsters and beasts!”
"It's too hasty to seek medical treatment for an acute illness and to take you for an autopsy without finding out the cause of the disease!" Li Xiu said angrily, "There seems to be an evil ghost in your body now, sucking your energy and blood. If I were here, Just give you hands-on treatment, help you kill evil spirits, and even use magic tricks to help you change your genetic code. Prescribe three pairs of tonics, and you will be full of life and become a strong man in no time! But in this way, your practice will be greatly affected. It is harmful rather than helpful. I suspect that you, the evil ghost, have awakened the martial spirit. Even in our laboratory, there are very few cases of living bodies awakening the martial spirit. Li Silang awakened the martial spirit overnight. Although He didn't become a beast, but his character also changed drastically. He was deceived by Gou Yue and led astray. Li Silang's martial arts talent is already considered unique, and not all warriors can have his talent!"
"You mean, you can save my life, but the consequences will make me a useless person?" Zhu Menghai understood what Li Xiu meant.
"It's not necessarily a useless person, but if you can cultivate to this point, you are almost at the top. If you don't awaken your martial soul, you have to sharpen your mind. As your mind increases, martial arts will become stronger. After the age of forty, no matter how strong your character is, you cannot go against the physiological aging process. That is a real mortal practicing martial arts, and it is impossible to make any further progress in martial arts. If you want to reach the height of flying into the sky and escaping from the earth, you will never be able to do so for the rest of your life!" Li Xiudao : "So your martial spirit must be awakened. Although I have a way to destroy it, I can't do it for the time being."
When Zhu Menghai heard this, his pale face showed gratitude and pain: "I...how much time do I have?"
"Less than three days!" Li Xiudao, "This is still under the condition of insisting on reciting the Three Corpses Mantra silently. Otherwise, without the mantra to suppress the evil spirits in the body, hundreds of bones will grow on your body in half a stick of incense. . What I want to do now is to help you solve the problem of Qi and blood loss and malnutrition, so as to avoid an emergency and you have no physical strength and energy to protect yourself. Then you will really have to take the last step! "Having said this, Li Xiu thought for a moment and then said, "During this period, you still have to go on a hunger strike and drink a small amount of water. I will give you a bottle of elixir for external application. You use your pores to absorb the power of the medicine. In this way, it can have the effect. The effect of paralysis is to prevent the evil spirits in your body from excessively sucking your energy and blood. At the same time, you need to strengthen the training of external skills, suspend the practice of internal skills and breathing, etc., and go to the laboratory first!"
Li Xiu brought Zhu Menghai into the experimental community.
After Zhu Menghai applied the elixir, he dragged his tired body and followed Li Xiu's instructions to walk and jog on the paths around the experimental community to stretch his muscles and bones. Sure enough, absorbing the power of the medicine in this way made the evil ghost-like martial spirit in the body feel paralyzed, and it did not speed up the devouring of Zhu Menghai's blood and energy. If food and medicine are taken orally, evil spirits such as robbers will "grab" each organ of the body when they see gold. Not only will it not cure the awakening of the martial spirit, but it will nourish the martial spirit and make it more difficult to suppress it. Although Li Xiu's delaying method had little effect overall, Zhu Menghai's feeling of weakness was significantly reduced.
Li Xiu said to Yang Zi and Lu Youshi: "Let's go too, it's time to meet the rightful master."
Yangzi and Lu Youshi didn't say much.
At this moment, a big demon suddenly fell from the sky, it was Zikai.
"Sir, there's a show!" said Zikai.
"Oh?" Li Xiu looked at the other party.
Zikai said: "Yesterday we stayed to observe the low-level monks. They dug the ground in a large area next to the mountain road and later dug out a tunnel. We waited outside for nearly an hour and were about to break in to investigate. , those people came out again. When they came out, one person was carrying a coffin and walked quickly towards the mountain road to the south. After a while, there was a place that had just been dug up over there, and another corridor appeared not far away. A hundred people and a hundred coffins entered the corridor one after another and never came out again!"
"The south you are talking about should be under our current main mountain range?" Li Xiu asked.
"Yes, sir!" said Zikai.
Li Xiudao: "Now that things are roughly clear, we can go meet the so-called 'old ghost' and see who he is!"
Several people were surprised.
Li Xiudao: "You have forgotten the big flag I left on the city tower yesterday. From the first watch last night to not long ago, nearly three hundred strong men from all walks of life came one after another, and now they are all included in my magic weapon Among them. Thinking of the glazed mirror we met on the road, it is almost certain that the glazed mirror is used to collect souls. If I hadn't included those strong men from all walks of life as magic weapons, they would have become soulless now. Corpses, those corpses should all fall in front of the glazed mirror."
This time, several people became more and more puzzled.
Yangzi said thoughtfully: "Isn't it true that not only the huge passage we walked through has such a glazed mirror, but also the other small side roads?"
Li Xiu said with a smile: "Yangzi, you should go to the road and find out at once! Let's go back! Zukai, you continue to stare outside to see if you can find more things, but don't trespass into the hinterland, outside Just pay attention and observe!”
The widowers responded quickly.
"Take it!" Li Xiu suddenly felt something in his mind, and a flaming red flag flew through the air and fell into Li Xiu's palm. This fiery red flag is of course the Star Tianyuan Vine sapling. At this time, those strong men who were swept away by the sapling were all suppressed in Duo Duo's cage. They were interrogated by Yu Leng himself. When they encountered hard bones, they were directly eaten by the sapling. While forming a fruit, you will gain the memory of the other party.
He gave a lot of information back to Li Xiu, and Li Xiu knew it well.
At the moment, Li Xiu, Yang Zi, and Lu Youshi walked back. When they see a fork in the road, they abandon the big passage and walk into the small passages that are only a head taller than a normal person.
There was a strange sound of "Buzz!" and sure enough, there was a glazed mirror not far from the intersection. If you go here, you will inevitably be exposed to strong light, even at night.
Yangzi and Lu Youshi secretly thought that’s how it is! Li Xiu and the others were prepared and destroyed the glazed mirror from a distance. After walking for a while, there are forks in the road, and there are similar glazed mirrors not far from each intersection.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the front. It sounded like there were about four or five people in the footsteps.
"Follow me!" Li Xiu pulled directly on the mountain wall and escaped into it. Yang Zi and Lu Youshi followed in. After hiding, five strong men in night clothes came over.
"It's very strange tonight. I didn't even find a body. I'm afraid it won't be easy to do business when I get back!"
"If we keep wandering around a lot, we won't be able to go back empty-handed! I'm also very surprised. Didn't I hear the captain say that a group of outsiders came to our place to hunt for treasure last night?"
"What kind of treasure can we have here? How ridiculous!"
"What do you know? The news that we have treasures in Bowang Mountain has been circulating outside many years ago. This is just false news deliberately released by the superiors. If we don't do this, will others come and die?"
Several people were talking in low voices and passed by Li Xiu's hiding place without noticing anything. However, at this time, the leader's voice suddenly came: "What's going on? Why is the soul-eating mirror broken?"
"No, go ahead and take a look!"
The rustling footsteps quickly disappeared, and after a while, the footsteps came back again.
"Lao Qi, go and tell the captain quickly, we will stay here and go to more places to inspect!"
That Lao Qi should be about to leave.
"Lie down!" Li Xiu suddenly drank them all down. He had nothing to hesitate and went straight to searching for their souls. Yangzi and Lu Youshi also each grabbed a "corpse mover" to search for souls, and knocked the remaining two out directly. The three of them found the direction and quickly disappeared deep into the passage.
What Li Xiu and the others didn't notice at this time was that the shattered glazed mirror fragments suddenly stirred up a burst of smoke, and hundreds of fragments flew out like butterflies, and a series of human skins sprang out. Originally, these human skins Because the treasure mirror was shattered and freed, they should rush to a wider world, at least away from here. However, they did not fly outside, but towards the fork in the road closest to them, where there was still an intact treasure mirror. They flew into the treasure mirror, like stones sinking into the sea, and soon regained their composure.
"Finally you can't help but come in? Li Xiu, I'm glad you can join us on our journey to the soul world. Let's see how you get out alive! You will still be eaten by me after all! Gagaaaa..." In a deep underground pit In the midst of it, there was a creepy and strange laughter. There was a huge humanoid monster corpse in the pit. The corpse was tied with iron chains. Next to the corpse sat a young man. A huge glazed mirror was inlaid on the stone wall in front of the young man. Last night, Li Xiu broke the world in the mirror and everything that shattered the mirror was under his observation. However, Li Xiu disappeared later. Unexpectedly, he saw Li Xiu again just now, which made him feel abnormal. Excited.
This young man was actually killed by Li Xiu long ago and had no shortage of money.
