Deep in the dense forest, there are indeed many dangers and dangers at every step.
However, after bypassing the bee swarm area, the three of them never encountered any major disasters while traveling.
After all, what you can encounter is also a matter of probability.
After they entered the dense forest, they encountered long-armed demon monkeys, a group of giant wolves, and a poisonous honeycomb. This luck could not be called good.
Of course, in the following days, they also encountered some dangers, but compared with the previous bad luck, they were not worth mentioning.
On this day, just as Ouyang Ming continued to explore the road, He Liangce came up and said, "Brother Ou, we are almost there."
Ouyang Ming was already in awe of his miraculous ability to identify directions. Hearing this, he did not doubt anything, but his eyes lit up slightly.
This kind of strange bamboo is the best material for making magic weapons and gun shafts, and Ouyang Ming has a lot on his mind, and he doesn't just want to give Chen Yifan exclusive enjoyment.
Therefore, when he knew that Qizhulin was about to arrive, his heart beat a beat faster.
"Brother He, the ancestors said that there should be a half-elf beast here." Ouyang Ming said slowly: "If you encounter it, please linger for a while. We will take the strange bamboo and leave."
"Okay." He Liangce smiled slightly and said suddenly: "Brother Ou, are you interested in joining forces to kill the enemy?"
Ouyang Ming laughed and said, "If I could, I wouldn't miss it, I'm just afraid..."
He Liangce said quickly: "If you are not strong enough, you should leave it alone."
The two of them nodded to each other, and in just two sentences, they had reached a consensus.
However, they did not have high expectations for this.
In the past, before Ni Jingshen encountered this half-elf beast, he was only at the peak of Yang level. But after so many years, Ni Jingshen has long been the ancestor of the Jida. So, is this half-elf beast still standing still
The three of them met together and walked slowly, and Ouyang Ming was watching all directions and listening in all directions, raising his vigilance to the highest level. At this time, if you don't cheer up, you are asking for death.
Finally, in front of the three people, the environment changed dramatically.
Although it was still the same dense forest, in the area ahead, all the trees seemed to be wilting. Even the big trees with lush branches and leaves seemed to have become sickly and underdeveloped.
Ouyang Ming's eyes turned, puzzled.
He Liangce said slowly from the side: "Those strange bamboos are really powerful, they can actually rob the nutrients of nearby plants for themselves. Haha, and they are also measured and do not plunder too much. This kind of slow and steady flow of water is almost psychic. ”
Ouyang Ming nodded slowly, becoming more and more interested in those strange bamboos.
However, the three of them went around here but did not find any whereabouts of the strange bamboo. If it weren't for the fact that the plants here were really weird, they would all wonder if they had gone astray.
The three of them looked at each other, feeling helpless.
Ni Yinghong pondered for a moment and said: "Xiao Mingzi, try it with your spiritual power. Master once said that these strange objects that do not belong to this world are difficult to identify with the naked eye, but sometimes they can be sensed by spiritual power."
In fact, she also has a certain amount of spiritual strength, but if compared with Ouyang Ming, it is a world of difference.
Ouyang Ming nodded slightly, gathered his thoughts, and settled between his eyes and brows.
The next moment, in Ouyang Ming's eyes, the whole world seemed to have undergone subtle and unusual changes.
This is the unity of nature and man, and it is the mysterious realm of looking at mountains but not mountains, and looking at water but not water after meticulous attention to detail. In this realm, what he saw was not just the surface of matter, but a glimpse into the origin and truth of the world.
Of course, with Ouyang Ming's current level of cultivation, he still cannot reach the level of being able to see through it at a glance.
However, all the mysteries in this area are clearly visible to him.
context.
That's right, what Ouyang Ming saw at this time was the veins.
Under their feet, strange lines seemed to emerge. What each line represents is the energy vein.
Ouyang Ming's eyes flashed with strange light. He seemed to be exploring with his eyes, but in fact he was using his mental power to track.
Within these veins, there is a trace of energy flowing. These energies are not powerful, far less powerful than when Ouyang Ming uses the devouring attribute to absorb flesh and blood energy.
However, within the veins, the flow of these energies is endless.
Moreover, this is not a one-sided flow, but a certain amount of communication. However, in Ouyang Ming's observation at this time, he could see the inequality in this exchange.
That is a difference in energy. One party delivers a lot of energy, while the other party returns only about one-tenth of that energy. Such a huge gap is maintained in an extremely subtle way.
Ouyang Ming frowned slightly. He certainly understood what happened in these contexts.
This is plunder, naked plunder.
However, if this method of plundering had been maintained like this, the plundered plants would have perished long ago, instead of being half-dead like they are now.
With his heart moving slightly, Ouyang Ming focused his eyes, identified a vein, raised his saber and dug in.
He Liangce and Ni Yinghong were both puzzled, but they also knew that Ouyang Ming must have noticed something, so he did such a move.
When Ouyang Ming pulled out the sword from the ground, some roots immediately came out.
Taking a long breath, Ouyang Ming put away his mental strength and looked at the roots in his hand, with a hint of surprise on his face.
The roots in his hand turned out to be the roots of not one, but two plants. One of them is just that, but the other root is obviously very different from ordinary plants. The root was placed on the palm of the hand, and it actually glowed with a rare golden luster.
"Hey, this is... spiritual root!" He Liangce said in surprise.
Ouyang Ming's heart moved slightly and he asked, "What is the use of spiritual roots?"
He Liangce said seriously: "Spiritual roots have infinite uses, whether it is refining elixirs or forging high-end equipment." He looked at Ouyang Ming and said, "Brother Ou, how did you discover it?"
Ouyang Ming chuckled, pointed at his eyes, and said with a smile, "I saw it."
He could be sure that except for himself, He Liangce would never be able to detect the existence of spiritual roots.
Moreover, he can also be sure that this spiritual root must be the root system of Qizhu. When this strange bamboo robs other plants of their growth energy, it also gives part of its own energy back to them.
Although the amount it gives back is minuscule, only one tenth. However, the energy level it possesses is relatively high. Under the high-level energy washing, those plants did not become extinct.
This was an advanced form of plunder, or a way of survival, which amazed Ouyang Ming.
He Liangce hesitated for a moment and did not continue to ask, but said: "Brother Ou, since you can see where the spiritual roots are, can you see Qizhu?"
Ouyang Ming nodded slowly and said, "Come with me."
His spiritual power was released again, and he immediately found the direction of the underground veins, and followed it up.
After a while, they came to a bush.
Ouyang Ming stopped, with a rather strange expression on his face, and said, "It's right here."
He Liangce and Ni Yinghong also looked at each other speechless. They had been to this place before, but they left without finding anything. Unexpectedly, the strange bamboo was actually hidden among the shrubs.
Of course, these shrubs are a bit weird, because they reach a height of more than ten feet.
However, in this dense forest, there are countless strange and weird things, even if they are ten times weirder than it, there are many. After everyone sees it, the limit is to take a few more glances, and no one will ask for trouble to find out the reason.
Ouyang Ming took out his saber and sighed, "I'll do it."
With a flick of his wrist, the knife came out like lightning, like a cutting machine. In just a moment, it had cut off more than half of the bush in front of him.
However, at the next moment, his sword was slightly raised, cutting upward at an extremely strange angle.
He Liangce's eyes lit up and he said, "Found it!"
Sure enough, in the place that Ouyang Ming deliberately avoided, a black bamboo was exposed. This bamboo actually grew in the bushes.
Ouyang Ming leaned down and the sword became faster and faster.
Finally, the root of the bamboo was exposed. Ouyang Ming's eyes flashed and he suddenly chopped it out with a knife.
The lower end of the bamboo snapped. Ouyang Ming reached out and grabbed the broken part and pulled it out immediately.
This is a bamboo about one foot long. Although the bamboo joints on it exist, they are extremely small. What's even more weird is that the two ends of this bamboo are actually of average thickness. If one of them didn't have obvious cracks, it would be difficult to tell which end is the root.
Ouyang Ming said solemnly: "The ancestors said that this bamboo is not tough at first, but it will quickly harden after being cut off, and after an hour, it will become indestructible."
As he spoke, he was absolutely not slow in his action. With a flick of his wrist, he took out the spear head that had been prepared and inserted it into the end of the bamboo.
Turning his wrist, the light of the weapon was faintly revealed.
However, at this moment, all Ouyang Ming's movements suddenly stopped. He raised his head and stared into the darkness ahead.
The muscles on his body were tense, and even the hairs on his body stood on end.
A strong aura was released involuntarily from his body. Almost at the same time, He Liangce's expression also changed slightly, and his robes swayed slightly, as if there was a gust of wind blowing constantly.
"That guy is here."
