"well."
Chu Liang sighed softly, put away his sword and stood up.
The harvest in the second half of the journey was average, and we only encountered two flower demons. A smooth journey is naturally a good thing in the eyes of others, but for those who aim to kill monsters, it is inevitable that they will be a little disappointed.
However, this slight disappointment was quickly dissipated by the scene in front of him.
When everyone stepped out of the narrow forest road one by one, the first thing they felt was shock.
This place is still within the scope of the dense forest, but the canopy of the green forest trees is more than ten feet high, as if it is a palace with a very high dome, entrenched above the head, and there will no longer be a feeling of depression for a while. Ahead is the entrance to a valley, with rugged and upside-down rock cliffs, vines and trees entangled on the black stones, and strange flowers blooming everywhere. There is a faint fluorescent light flying up and down, bringing light that flickers on and off.
It is completely a primitive and profound alien demon realm.
"This..." Lin Bei opened his mouth and made two ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, as if he wanted to say something, but as soon as the sound came out, it echoed in the Cangcang Valley, making him hold back again.
It actually has the meaning of "don't dare to speak loudly for fear of frightening the heavenly beings".
Fang Ting said in a deep voice: "According to the instructions, the Human-Faced Jade Flower is in the valley not far ahead. Although there are no more flower demons here, the danger is higher... Be careful."
"Yeah!" Everyone nodded in agreement.
The reason is very simple. In a place full of demons, if a piece of pure land suddenly appears. That can only mean that this must be the territory of a bigger demon.
Human bodies walking in this wild and vast land will inevitably feel insignificant. Everyone stepped into the black valley with rocks and rocks. Not far away, they found a cluster of huge trees growing in an open space at the edge of the valley. Flower branches.
There are two flowers, each one as big as a human head. The petals cover the center of the flower tightly. They are pure white in color and the surrounding leaves are long and straight. They look pure and abrupt in this valley.
"This is the Human Face Jade Flower...it's exactly the same as the one in the album." Lin Beidao.
Fang Ting raised his eyes and looked at the valley wall above his head that was covered by rocks, and said: "At this time, it should have just fallen outside. When the ray of moonlight falls on the flower at night, it will be the moment it blooms. Before that, it will definitely Don't touch it."
Chu Liang had also learned about the process of picking human-faced jade flowers on the way here.
This thing is quite magical, and if you pick it at other times, it will lose its spirituality. It must be picked off when it is mature enough to absorb the moonlight and open up, in order to retain its spirituality.
But at that moment, everyone who looks at it will fall into an illusion. Maybe this intention is to protect themselves.
At this time, someone must use a bronze mirror to block the human-faced jade flower in front of it at the moment it blooms, so that the illusion of the human-faced jade flower will make you faint. At this time, another person can pick the flower from behind to successfully pick it.
In this case, only two people are needed, and the reason why this task requires five people is because three other people must be picking flowers and forming a three-talent sword formation on the outside to guard against the treasure-protecting monsters near the human-faced jade flowers. .
…
"Junior Sister Ziqing stands in the human position, Junior Brother Chu stands in the ground position, and I stand in the sky position. Lu Ren holds the mirror, and Lin Bei picks the flowers." Fang Ting gave orders crisply.
The Sancai Sword Formation is not just about one person guarding one side, but the human position only guards one direction, the earth position guards two directions, and the sky position guards one direction while taking care of other directions and providing support at any time.
In this way, the greatest responsibility is placed on the strongest point, which can make up for the differences in the strength of the organizers.
Naturally, everyone had no objections and sat down around the flower branches.
The waiting time was not long, and soon, a ray of moonlight passed through many obstacles and fell on this open space. In a valley where the sun is hard to see all year round, this ray of moonlight is extremely precious.
The lines of the moonlight gradually shifted, bit by bit, and slowly came to the top of the human-faced jade flower.
"Focus!" Fang Ting suddenly shouted.
The three people in the formation, Chu Liang, Xu Ziqing, and Fang Ting, immediately stood up with swords in hand, their backs to Huazhi, and no longer looked over there.
because……
As the human-faced jade essence flower matures, there are also rustling sounds in the valley, and some monsters who have coveted the flowers for a long time can no longer hold back.
"Roar -" The first one to rush out of the bushes was a black-spotted tiger, roaring and shaking the forest! It has ferocious patterns all over its body, and there are actually a pair of fleshy wings under its ribs! Obviously he has been practicing for many years.
This forest monster is the most cunning, and naturally breaks through towards Xu Ziqing as soon as it comes out.
The little girl clenched her silver teeth, and it was obvious that she was very frightened in her heart, but she did not retreat. Instead, she stepped forward, preparing to draw her sword to meet the enemy.
At this moment, a golden dragon's thunderous sword energy whizzed past in the slanting stab!
boom--
As soon as the surging sword energy passed, the demonic tiger figure disappeared, leaving only traces of ash falling down.
Naturally, it was Fang Ting who took action.
Chu Liang caught a glimpse of this scene and sighed that the strength of the Golden Core Realm was really powerful. At the same time, he couldn't help but secretly sigh.
What a waste.
If only I could make up for it with a knife.
Fang Ting looked around and saw Chu Liang sighing, and said: "Junior brother Chu, there is no need to sigh. As long as you practice diligently, with time you can achieve my level of cultivation."
Hmm... He thought he felt inferior after seeing his cultivation?
Chu Liang was startled for a moment, then nodded towards Fang Ting.
Ah, yes, yes.
There was no time to chat anymore, the appearance of the tiger monster seemed to be a command, followed by a giant python as thick as a bucket, a golden eagle with a glowing body, a first-born jackal with three eyes...
There are monsters attacking from all directions!
Chu Liang's eyes suddenly lit up.
But immediately he heard Fang Ting yell again: "Wind and Thunder Sword Technique! Quick!"
He held the sword with his left hand and the Thunder Sword with his right hand. With a shout, the thunder light went out violently, and the sword edge drew a circle. In an instant, sand and rocks were flying, and thunderclouds rolled beside him, sweeping out in an instant.
Rumble, rumble——
With just one strike of the sword, the monster beasts that flew over were all caught up in the wind and thunder, and instantly turned into powder!
The group is destroyed.
"Hmph!" Fang Ting put away his sword, snorted coldly, and glanced around with a look of disdain, majestic. Then he glanced at Xu Ziqing and Chu Liang next to him, holding his head high and chest high. Although his face was expressionless, his eyes seemed to be shining with some kind of expectation.
It's like a golden retriever who has caught a mouse and is waiting for praise but still pretends to be aloof.
In stark contrast, the gleam that had just lit up in Chu Liang's eyes was extinguished in an instant.
There is no light in his eyes...
The harder Fang Ting killed, the more his heart ached...
Xu Ziqing didn't know whether it was because she was used to her brother's cultivation, so she didn't think it was powerful...or she was just too nervous to care about anything else. There was no praise for Fang Ting's heroic performance.
As a result, Fang Ting posed for a long time, but did not get what he wanted. In the end, he could only blink and said to himself: "Junior Sister Ziqing, Junior Brother Chu, as long as you two practice diligently, you will be able to do it in the future." Use such a sword."
"Haha." Chu Liang smiled.
While the battle on the outside went smoothly, the two people responsible for picking on the inside finally waited until the moonlight fell on the heart of the first flower.
"It's about to bloom!" Lin Bei shouted immediately.
Lu Ren quickly raised a large bronze mirror in his hand.
The moonlight scattered, and the huge human-faced jade flower slowly unfolded its petals like a beauty waking up from sleep... revealing a face as white as jade.
That's right, when the human-faced jade essence flower's bones are opened, the bottom part really looks like a human face! Moreover, it is a beautiful face with skin as white as jade and indistinguishable male and female.
When this human face first appeared, its eyes were still full of strangeness and vigilance, but then, it saw the large bronze mirror directly in front of it. And, my own face in the bronze mirror.
Those eyes soon showed an intoxicated look...
