After sealing the almost perfect arc, Pei Wende flipped his palm and the golden lotus in his hand disappeared instantly.
After reaching the level of Pei Wende, all kinds of magical powers and spells have become natural, and the Qimen Dunjia technique that can store objects has also become a trick that can be easily picked up.
After confirming that the dragon girl had left no other aura, Pei Wende calmly crossed the threshold and officially entered Zexin Temple.
Just as Pei Wende imagined, Zexin Temple was filled with various wrecks and ruins, as if no one had cleaned it for hundreds of years.
Just by stepping lightly on the aisle, Pei Wende left a clear footprint in Zexin Temple.
But those plants that had long grown together with the wooden piles and beams seemed to have consciously avoided the direction of the door, leaving this area alone that was blocked from the sun by the eaves.
Not far away, the Buddhist sculptures built on the cliffs are covered with moss and lichen in the dark places.
Looking from a distance, the Buddha sculpture exposed to the sun, although it looks vast and bright, always gives Pei Wende a sense of evil and sneakiness.
This feeling comes not only from the extreme contrast between the temple and the Buddhist sculptures, but also from the ubiquitous black water in the entire Zexin Temple.
Dripping from the eaves, flowing along the edges of Buddhist sculptures, and gathering in ditches where vegetation grows...
These black waters that can alienate living things are almost everywhere, giving people a different kind of weirdness and gloominess.
"No one...?"
Narrowing his eyes slightly, he saw Pei Wende's hand quietly touching the sword on his waist, his expression looking very serious.
He had just fought against Heishui at the Governor's Mansion one day ago, so Pei Wende was wary of the strange and quiet Black Water in Zexin Temple.
After all, although there are no humans in Zexin Temple, there are vegetation that almost cover the entire temple.
After these vegetations came into contact with the black water, they did not produce any changes. This in itself is an extremely abnormal situation.
In contrast, Pei Wende would be relieved if these plants suddenly activated into some kind of monster.
"The situation appears to be very different than we imagined."
At this time, Xiao Qing, who was wandering in the world, also came back to his senses and looked at the Zexin Temple, which was so quiet and almost eerie, with the same surprise.
It's okay if there are no ferocious and terrifying monsters. It's a bit exaggerated to think that there are no animals such as rats, mosquitoes, etc. in such a large temple.
"No, it was us who prejudged it."
Taking another step forward calmly, Pei Wende suddenly explained in a low voice.
"We always thought that creatures infected by black water would turn into monsters, but we didn't realize that those 'monsters' were only for us..."
"If you take a closer look at the plants here, they are not any plants we know."
There was a slight pause in his tone, and Pei Wende suddenly drew his sword and slashed at the vines clinging to the beam.
The next second, I saw that the vine twisted like a snake, and a dark red juice spurted out from the place where it was struck by the sword.
Pei Wende was very sure that it was definitely not blood, but some kind of mineral pigment that was similar to blood.
"Perhaps in the eyes of real plants, these plants are also 'monsters' now..."
"Just like we see humans being monsterized."
Before he finished speaking, the vine that Pei Wende had cut off suddenly dissolved and merged with the ground beneath his feet.
Immediately afterwards, the dissolved stone slab suddenly transformed into a stone tentacle, which hit Pei Wende who was very close at hand.
Seriously!
The roar that erupted from the tip of the tentacle made Pei Wende's eardrums hurt, but it did not prevent him from swinging the knife again.
However, to Pei Wende's expectation, when his sword collided with the stone tentacles, there was a crisp sound of gold and iron.
Clang!
As if it had been struck on some kind of hardened mineral, a gap appeared in the sword in Pei Wende's hand.
Fortunately, Xiao Qing reacted at this time, opened his mouth and sprayed out a dense stream of poisonous gas, quickly covering the stone tentacles.
Sizzle...
He only had time to twist twice before the stone tentacle turned into a puddle of indescribable liquid.
Ever since he swallowed the snake poison of the Xiangxi witch, Xiaoqing is no longer a normal snake in a sense.
Whether it's animals, plants, or even steel and stone...
Xiao Qing's current venom has long surpassed normal people's cognition, and can synthesize almost any known or unknown toxic substance.
To be honest, if Xiaoqing's biochemistry foundation was not so poor, Pei Wende would not have doubted whether the other party could synthesize radioactive poisons such as benzene, plutonium, and even uranium.
In this regard, Pei Wende didn't know whether to be grateful or regretful.
The only thing he knew clearly was that even if Xiao Qing completely lost all his magical powers one day, with his ability to synthesize any toxin, he would definitely be able to become a predator at the top of the plant chain.
"It seems that this temple does not welcome us."
Slowly spitting out his snake letter, Xiao Qing, who was on alert, could clearly see that the nearby vegetation was still disturbed by the two of them.
"Unexpected, but reasonable."
He did not take back the Jie Dao in his hand. When Pei Wende said this, he had already turned around and looked in the direction from which he came.
Because at the same time that Xiao Qing destroyed the stone tentacle, two huge shadows appeared behind them.
The owner of those two shadows is none other than Vajra Vajra who was previously guarding in front of Zexin Temple.
Click, click, click...
The wooden body was getting closer and closer, and the huge body was filled with a strange sense of oppression...
The two "alive" Skanda Vajras have ferocious and majestic expressions. While moving, they seem to retain some of the indifference of dead objects.
It’s not a divine fighting technique that invites gods to take over the body, nor is it a golden warrior with nine artificial orifices...
The two Skanda Vajra gave Pei Wende the feeling of being more like some kind of machine controlled by humans...
[Or...robot? 】
With such a thought flashing through his mind, Pei Wende jumped up without hesitation and struck the head of one of the Skanda Vajras with a knife.
Clang!
Just like when the stone tentacles were struck before, the same sound of gold and iron echoing spread throughout the small half of Zexin Temple.
But this time, Pei Wende was well prepared. He immediately let go of the sword in his hand and soared into the air with the help of the wind.
——Sword Control·Hundred-Step Flying Sword!
The Jie Dao suddenly rotated at high speed, and this time it finally broke through the defense of Vajra, and penetrated its head at once.
Wherever you look, plants assimilated with Vajra suddenly appear inside the Vajra.
It was under the assimilation and control of these plants that the two Skanda Gold statues were able to move like living creatures just now.
