After understanding the weakness of the zombies, Lu Zhong continued to go to Qingliu Ruins.
Along the way, walking corpses can be seen wandering in the wilderness, numbering in twos and threes. They will take the initiative to attack any living thing they find, whether it is monsters or beasts, even snakes, insects, rats, and ants.
Under this situation, in order to avoid trouble, Lu Zhong had no choice but to hold his breath and move forward.
After dark, we arrived near the pier.
With the help of Qi-gazing technique, he began to search for the location of "Lv Zhong".
According to Li Dong's explanation, after the natural disaster, Qingliu Ruins was in chaos. At that time, in order to escape for his life, he tried to escape with the help of a boat, and then he killed "Lv Zhong" who turned into a zombie.
After checking back and forth several times, Lu Zhong did not find the target figure.
"Strange, Li Dong's words don't seem to be false, so where did I go?"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but worry.
After all, what I saw along the way here is that the walking corpses are not stationary, but wander aimlessly. If "Lv Zhong" really wanders elsewhere, that would be bad!
"Hey, this is..."
Suddenly, Lu Zhong caught an unusual light in his vision.
Its location is right at the dock area.
The color is dull and nearly imperceptible.
At the same time, a sense of familiarity came from there.
Lu Zhong observed carefully for a while, with a thoughtful look in his eyes. He felt that there was something strange there, so he made a hand with one hand to cast a spell, but he was ready to blast it away.
Suddenly spiritual energy gathered and turned into fireballs that were shot out.
After just a few breaths, they all fell into abnormal places.
The space there was distorted, and then a huge shadow fell out.
At first glance, you can tell it's a humanoid thing.
But if you look carefully, you will find that this person is huge, more than ten feet tall. At the same time, his body is covered with abscess-like bulges, and there are things like tree roots mixed in, shining with an unknown black light.
It exudes the aura of the first level of Qi refining.
When Lu Zhong moved his eyes to his chest, he couldn't help but froze.
I saw a triangular wound there.
And this is exactly what Li Dong did.
When the monster raised its head, Lu Zhong finally dared to be sure.
This is "Lu Zhong"!
another me!
Due to the influence of unknown forces, "Lv Zhong"'s appearance changed drastically and became what he is today.
Lu Zhong also discovered something at this time. When he got close to "Lv Zhong", his original connection with Xingchen Jianruo became even weaker.
"It seems that the cause of the mutation is related to this unknown force."
On the other side, the monster that was forced out by the continuous fireball suddenly roared at this moment.
There were continuous bursting sounds, and dark branches like thorns shot out from those bulges. They danced wildly like venomous snakes, with a pair of scarlet eyes shining brightly at their tips, locking on Lu Zhong and shooting towards him.
Halfway through, the branches changed again.
They could be seen extending their bodies, forming antlers and double claws, and their size increased several times.
The aura suddenly rose to the foundation building level.
"Jiao, or dragon?"
Seeing this scene, Lu Zhong looked shocked, but his movements were not slow at all. He took out the golden light talisman and stuck it on his body. At the same time, do not forget to communicate with your own natal spiritual treasure star mirror and borrow strength from it.
Suddenly, gray mist filled his body, and then a little bit of silver light lit up, and finally turned into pillars of light.
The mirror light shone like a torrential rain, hitting a group of monsters rushing toward him.
A scene that surprised Lu Zhong appeared!
With the power of the Star Mirror, even if the power is not fully exerted due to the weakened connection, it is still enough to kill the pill-forming monk instantly. But now when faced with the strange dragons released by "Lü Zhong", it seemed like the reverse was true. Instead of being able to defeat them instantly, they collapsed and disappeared when the mirror light hit them.
Spells have no effect on it!
Realizing this, Lu Zhong suddenly felt a headache.
This time, his greatest support was eliminated.
Seeing the strange dragon approaching, Lu Zhong had no choice but to change his mind. A bolt of lightning instantly enveloped him, but with the help of the power of the Star Mirror, he instantly escaped to the distance.
But "Lv Zhong" obviously wouldn't let him go, and he roared in the sky again.
More pustules burst and more strange dragons shot out.
Fight or flight?
Lu Zhong was leaning towards the latter option, but when he thought about the strange power of "Lv Zhong", it had only been seven days, and his strength had expanded to this point. What if he gave this monster more time?
In order to avoid long nights and many dreams, Lu Zhong decided to test it again.
Until it is certain that something cannot be done.
"Since the spell is ineffective, then maybe the thunder method... No matter what, I have to try it." Lu Zhong knew that he had no other means to rely on at the moment, and it was better to be a dead horse.
Then he started to mutter something.
Unlike the previous use of thunder spells, since there is no thunder seal to help, it is a little troublesome to cast it now. Fortunately, the thunder method is not an immutable thing, and there are many ways to do it.
In the current situation, the best option is to resort to spells.
When Lu Zhong cast the spell, there were bursts of sound breaking through the air approaching, and the strange dragon from the opposite side was already attacking.
At this moment, a light mirror appeared.
But he didn't feel much relieved because after all, light mirror and mirror light were the same method.
Sure enough, after the strange dragon hit the mirror, its body only stagnated slightly before it passed through the mirror.
The strange dragons broke through the defense one after another, making Lu Zhong feel nervous.
Fortunately, at this time, he had finished casting the spell.
Immediately, the magic formula was prompted.
Suddenly, countless purple lightning bolts shot out from the fingertips.
Each one carries astonishing power.
Leisi struck the incoming monster dragon with a flash. The latter, which was originally unstoppable, was instantly defeated and then disappeared into a puff of black smoke.
Thunder method works!
Lu Zhonghe breathed a long sigh of relief, made a hand gesture with one hand, and began to mutter something again. He didn't care whether over-casting would damage his body's vitality. Purple intention suddenly appeared on his fingertips, and he used the lightning technique again.
This time, the target was changed to "Lu Zhong".
Purple thunder threads formed a dense web, covering the giant monster's head and face.
"Boom, boom, boom" thunder suddenly sounded!
Under the bombardment of lightning, those pustules burst open one by one. Before the strange dragon inside took shape, it collapsed and disappeared into black smoke.
Affected by this, his connection with Xingchenjian increased sharply.
At the same time, his own strength has also improved.
From the first level of Qi refining to the early stage of foundation building.
This series of changes made Lu Zhong overjoyed.
But soon, he found that he was too happy too early.
"Lv Zhong" had all the pustules defeated. Instead of dying, he actually underwent new changes. First, his body size shrank rapidly, but in the blink of an eye, he shrank from more than ten feet to several feet.
Then, countless branches spread over his body, and his whole person began to alienate.
This time, Lu Zhong could clearly see the source of the mutation.
"It's a thing inside him!"
Before Lu Zhong could understand, the alienation of "Lv Zhong" over there had been completed. Except that he still looked like a human, there was no trace of a human being anymore, and he had turned into a bloated tree man.
In terms of aura, it has grown to the late stage of foundation building.
Immediately afterwards, tumors appeared on the surface of the tree bark.
The tumor that shone with black light quickly burst, and another strange dragon shot out.
Compared with before, these strange dragons have also changed. From a distance, they look like tree roots, but they have all the characteristics of a real dragon, whether it is antlers or five claws, they all match one by one.
This time, the strange dragons not only became stronger, but also became denser in number.
Lu Zhong felt his scalp numb. After raising his hand to hit a piece of lightning, he did not dare to stay where he was.
The lightning flashed and it was already a hundred feet away.
Unexpectedly, the tree man refused to give up, and together with the group of strange dragons, came towards Lu Zhong to kill him.
Feeling that there was very little mana in his body, Lu Zhong had no choice but to retreat while tightening his connection with the Xingchen Jian, so that it could let in more power to meet the needs of subsequent spell casting.
Otherwise, based on his current cultivation level, he would definitely not be a match for the Tree Man.
Fighting and retreating along the way, countless houses were damaged along the way.
Soon they retreated to the outside of Qingliu Ruins.
Until this moment, the tree man was still unwilling to give up. He was spitting jet black light beams from his mouth, trying to kill Lu Zhong.
"Let you be arrogant for a while longer!"
Lu Zhong looked calm and continued to distance himself from a distance.
At the same time, he is also trying his best to restore his mana.
Time passed like this, and both sides chased each other. Finally, a quarter of an hour later, thanks to the help of the Star Mirror, the mana was fully restored.
The time for counterattack has arrived!
As soon as Lu Zhong raised his hand, dense lightning bolts were shot out.
Leisi first defeated the group of strange dragons, and then broke through to the tree man.
But at this time, something he didn't expect happened again.
The purple sky thunder and lightning, which was invincible against the strange dragon, had little effect on the tree man. As soon as it hit it, the purple thunder immediately dissipated like a bubble, leaving only some scorched black marks.
Seeing this scene, Lu Zhong had a headache again.
What the hell is this!
Spiritual treasures are ineffective, and thunder spells are almost ineffective.
At first glance, it seems that it is completely aimed at the immortal way.
"Is it possible that this weird thing is really a dirty trick?"
Lu Zhong couldn't help but make such conjectures in his heart. Even the reason has been thought out, that is, the upper spiritual world of Qinghe Realm, that is, the immortal path of Linghuan Realm was completely defeated.
As a result, all evil forces spread and invaded this world.
Although he was doubtful in his heart, he did not give up. Thinking of the weakness of the walking zombies, he used his magic to pick up large rocks and threw them at the chasing tree people.
Unexpectedly, it had an effect.
Even though the tree man was not afraid of thunder and lightning or the attack of the spirit treasure, after being hit by the boulder, dirty blood splattered on his body. Not only did the bark of the tree burst, but even the area where it was hit was dented.
There's drama!
Seeing this, Lu Zhong felt happy.
However, he also knew that an attack like a boulder would only cause superficial injuries to the tree man.
If you want to solve this ghost thing, you need the help of sharp weapons.
When he thought of this, Lu Zhong immediately flashed and reappeared behind Shuren. He was planning to return to Qingliu Ruins with the intention of obtaining a magic weapon so that he could use it to deal with the tree people.
The pursuit continued, with the Tree Man still in hot pursuit.
During the process, it continued to release strange dragons, but Lu Zhong still used thunder to resolve them.
"Boom!"
In the purple thunder and lightning, all the strange dragons disappeared.
At this time, a giant figure appeared in the field of vision in front of Lu Zhong, but it was Wei Tie from Jiangwei Pavilion. This man failed to escape the disaster and also turned into a walking corpse.
Seeing Lu Zhong at this moment, it roared and rushed over.
But still halfway, a thunderbolt passed by.
Even though the zombies were weird, they couldn't withstand the power of thunder and lightning, and were immediately knocked backwards.
Lu Zhong appeared in front of it, holding a thunder gun and stabbing it hard. At the same time, he stretched out his other hand to grab the storage bag on Wei Tie's waist.
In just a moment, the walking corpses beneath their feet turned into charcoal.
At this time, his face showed joy.
This time, my luck was not bad. There was a magic weapon in the storage bag called "Green Bamboo Sword". Although it is the most inferior and low-grade magic weapon, for Lu Zhong now, it is enough to deal with the tree people chasing after him.
After a little refinement, he sacrificed it immediately.
Then he pinched his sword fingers, and a ball of green light shot out of the air. In a flash, he slashed out several sword energy.
What happened next made Lu Zhong almost doubt himself.
However, he saw that the sword energy shot out and landed on the tree man had no effect.
"Could it be..."
Lu Zhong couldn't help but wonder if his previous judgment was wrong.
At this moment, he saw the tree man opening his arms again and forming countless branches, as if he was going to nail him to the spot. Without thinking about anything, he hurriedly ordered the green bamboo sword to slash forward.
An accident occurred again. Wherever the sword touched, the branches broke off.
Lu Zhong was stunned and understood immediately.
"It turns out that as long as the method does not involve spiritual energy, it is not immune! I guessed it right. This ghost thing is specifically targeting immortality."
Taking a deep breath, he controlled the green bamboo sword and struck dozens of swords in a row.
Facing the sharp sword edge, the tree man could no longer defend himself, and was chopped into pieces with sawdust flying everywhere. When the chest was broken open by the sword, something appeared in front of Lu Zhong's chest, but it was a dark seed.
It can be seen that this is the thing that caused all the changes.
Immediately, Lu Zhong's sword finger changed and he used the green bamboo sword to stab him fiercely.
"Crack!"
There was a crisp cracking sound.
The dark seed was pierced by the sword edge and instantly collapsed into several pieces.
Just when Lu Zhong thought that the matter was over.
Suddenly, at the location of the seed, the void became distorted.
Under his astonished gaze, wisps of Tianyuan surged out and sank into the inside of the seed one after another. Then a black light appeared, reconnecting the fragments and completing another jet-black seed.
Affected by this change, the tree man's aura increased again and again, breaking through to the level of pill formation.
Witnessing this scene with his own eyes, Lu Zhong's heart suddenly sank. No wonder something was getting worse the more we fought, the tree man's strength had been improving all the time, and the reason was because he appeared here.
"We can't let it continue to strengthen."
Before the tree man could resume his action, Lu Zhong quickly stabbed him again.
Unexpectedly, the blade of the sword struck close to the seed, but was blocked by a layer of tree roots.
No matter how much he pushed it, the green bamboo sword could hardly advance an inch. Moreover, due to the influence of the huge force, the sword had begun to deform slightly, showing signs of being unable to hold on.
If this sword collapses, Lu Zhong's defeat will be certain.
Of course he wouldn't let this happen. He immediately bit the tip of his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of blood onto the green bamboo sword.
The sword roar suddenly became loud!
The power of the Green Bamboo Sword is blessed by blood essence, and its power increases by several percent.
In this way, it pierces the roots bit by bit and hits the seeds again.
The cracking sound sounded again.
