"What's wrong?"
Liu Yi and the two were about to fly towards the gray hills. When they heard Lu Li's reminder, they immediately stopped and looked at Lu Li with puzzled expressions.
"There's something wrong with that hill. Let's take a detour to another place."
As Lu Li said that, he lifted five feet off the ground and flew towards the left. Liu Yi and Liu Yi looked at each other and quickly followed. The three of them flew to the left for dozens of miles before continuing to the north.
Finally, the three of them landed on a bare hill. This hill was about the same size as the previous hill with strange black trees, but the view was much wider.
After landing, seeing the two people looking curious, Lu Li explained: "There is a gray flying insect lying on the hill. It seems to be the legendary fog shadow insect."
"Mist shadow insect!"
When Liu Yi heard this, he immediately screamed. Lu Dingzong next to him was still puzzled. He looked at Liu Yida and said, "What is the fog shadow insect?"
"It is a kind of flying insect that looks very ordinary, but is extremely poisonous and sucks blood. This kind of insect always likes to live in groups and is very good at hiding. If you are not paying attention, it is easy to mistake it for ordinary mist... ..”
Liu Yi explained it to Lu Dingzong with a solemn look. Lu Dingzong was frightened for a while and thought to himself that it was a good thing that 'Lu Li' had discovered it in advance, otherwise he would have suffered disaster if he jumped in!
Afterwards, several people recovered on the bare hill.
This place is already on the outskirts of Zeqiu. According to Liu Yi, about ten thousand miles further to the northeast, there is a depression there, and a soul-nurturing fruit tree grows in it.
What the three of them didn't know was that just as they were recovering, a group of golden elixir masters wearing Huanyue Palace badges followed the route they had taken before and flew towards the hills with broad-leaved black trees.
The leader was a young man wearing a dark yellow robe, who was the Holy Son of Huanyue Palace, Huo Zhang.
I remember that Huo Zhang was still chasing Yuan Junlong for a fight to the death, but now for some reason he appeared here, and he didn't know what happened to Yuan Junlong, the holy son of the Emperor's Immortal Sect.
Huo Zhang and his party moved very fast, as if they were running for their lives, and rushed straight into the black wood hill.
Ah, ah...! ! !
But just as it fell, several heartbreaking screams came from the team! The bodies of several early-stage monks were now covered with gray monsters, layer after layer, quite terrifying!
Everyone's expressions changed suddenly when they saw this, and they quickly applied a protective shield to themselves. However, two people were still half a step too slow to react. The surrounding 'grey fog' swept in. The two people immediately became as miserable as the previous few people. Called Lianlian.
"Walk!!!"
Huo Zhang's pupils shrank sharply. He dared not stay here for even a moment. He flew away from the hill. Others also rose up and flew out following Huo Zhang.
Fortunately, although these fog shadow insects are highly toxic, they are not very fast, so everyone got rid of them easily.
The six people who were wrapped by the fog shadow bug before had their blood sucked out in just a moment. Their skin turned black and shriveled, and they lay motionless on the ground.
"Stop!"
Just as everyone was flying forward in panic, Huo Zhang suddenly stopped, and those flying behind him stopped one after another, while an old man in green robes beside him rushed straight out.
In an instant, the old man rushed into the mist half a mile away. Then, he let out a cry of terror and flew back again.
At this time, his spell mask was covered with thick fog shadow insects. These fog shadow bugs gnawed at the mask desperately, making a squeaking sound, as harsh as grinding teeth.
"fire!"
Huo Zhang narrowed his eyes and dodged, and shouted at a middle-aged man next to him. The man understood, and turned his hand to shoot out a large ball of flames, wrapping the old man in green robes in it!
Suddenly, thick smoke rose, and a pungent burning smell filled the air.
After about a dozen breaths, the middle-aged man withdrew the true fire, and then the gray-robed old man flew out with a pale face, "Thank you, Holy Son, thank you, Brother Pei!"
"Hehe, there's no need to be polite, Brother Yun, but you're too reckless, so you have to be more careful next time." The middle-aged man waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, yes." The old man surnamed Yun was embarrassed.
"Okay, everyone, please pay attention. There are a lot of fog bugs here, so don't run rampant anymore!" Huo Zhang frowned and glanced at the old man, then gave instructions to the others, and then continued on his way.
But this time, everyone's speed has slowed down a lot. No matter how important the soul-nurturing fruit is, it must be taken with a life. The reason why Mr. Yun can survive is because of his advanced cultivation.
If it were them, even if they had a shield to defend themselves, they might not be able to withstand the attack of the fog shadow insect.
In fact, what happened to the people in Huanyue Palace was just the tip of the iceberg. At this time, many people in the area of Zeqiu accidentally broke into the fog shadow insects and ended up dead.
And the number of casualties among casual cultivators was much higher than that among sect members.
However, Lu Li had no idea about this. After recovering from a simple breath adjustment, he took Liu Yi and the two of them on their way.
Due to the existence of the fog shadow bugs, Lu Li did not dare to be careless and used his pupil technique from time to time to observe the situation ahead.
Precisely because he could discover the fog shadow bug in advance, the three of them rushed much faster than other teams.
After walking around for about two days, the three of them finally came to a vast black grassland. This black grassland was different from others. The soil under their feet was already very firm, and there was no feeling of sinking when they stepped on it.
At this moment, in front of the three of them, there was a huge crater. Lu Li roughly estimated that it was at least thirty miles in diameter.
At the bottom of the pit, there are many old broad-leaved trees growing. These old trees are crooked and have lush branches and leaves. Most of them are more than ten feet high and six or seven feet thick. They seem to be quite old.
"Is this right here?" Lu Li looked away and looked at Liu Yi and asked.
"Yes, it's right here. It is said that the soul-nurturing fruit tree is in the center of this pit. It is easy to find." Although Liu Yi was wearing a mask, you could tell from his voice that he was a little excited at this time.
Lu Li nodded when he heard this, then his eyes flashed with green light and he looked toward the center of the pit.
After a dozen breaths, Lu Li looked away. There was indeed an unusual spiritual tree in the middle of the pit. The trunk and leaves were green and gray, and the whole body was emitting a silver-gray light.
Although the tree is only three feet tall, its lush branches and leaves extend outward for more than ten feet, like a giant open umbrella.
Moreover, Lu Li also found no less than thirty silver-gray fruits on it, which were exactly his target this time, soul-nurturing fruits!
But Lu Li was not excited about this, because he not only discovered the soul-nurturing fruit, but also found that the area one mile around the soul-nurturing fruit tree was densely covered with fog shadow insects.
These fog shadow insects seemed to want to eat the soul-nurturing fruit, but they were blocked by an invisible barrier, forming a thick foggy area around them...
