"He has never said that such things will happen in the ancient forest!"
Outside the mysterious mirror, a man in a white robe stood up angrily: "Now that there is such a riot, I am afraid that 40% of people will have to be there!"
Someone sighed and said: "What's more, the secret realm of Xiaozhongshan only allows Jindan cultivators to enter. We can't intervene in the slightest. We can only wait for the secret realm to close on its own in two days and send the disciples out. It is so dangerous, what should I do?"
He Xiaochen's brows were furrowed, and he no longer had the calm attitude before, and stared at the incomparably strange scene of the ancient wood forest in the mysterious mirror: "Xiaozhongshan has been opened many times, and this situation has never happened. That ten thousand year dragon blood tree is not It seems to have become a spirit and become a spirit, but it is like... into a demon."
The scene fell into a stalemate for a while, and in the silence, a woman's leisurely and gentle smile suddenly sounded: "You elders are too unconfident in their own disciples, right? The mutation of the ancient wood forest sea is dangerous, but the people sent into the secret realm are all If the top-notch young talents in various sects can't even solve this matter, and then leave the sect and go down the mountain, how will they find a foothold?"
The one who spoke was Qu Feiqing of Niguang Island.
Her voice was lazy, her right hand was playing with her long drooping hair, and she couldn't see the slightest panic in her expression.
The female cultivator said and smiled: "The trapped disciples are not in danger at present, we might as well calm down and see how others will respond - I have met several interesting children, and I would like to know more about them. What's next for them?"
In the realm of self-cultivation, the world of self-cultivation is unpredictable, and opportunities and murderous motives often go hand in hand. Everyone will inevitably encounter dangers that endanger their lives in the process of cultivating the Tao.
The mutation of the ancient wood forest sea is also one of them.
As soon as these words came out, a slightly hesitant look appeared on everyone's face.
"However, just after hearing the news of the death of the younger brother, Ning Ning entered the forest sea regardless of safety."
Qu Feiqing put a grape in her mouth, leaned lazily on the back of the chair, raised her eyes and glanced at Tian Xianzi: "The young apprentices under Elder Tianxian's sect have a really good relationship."
Tian Xianzi smiled, also looking full of anticipation: "Ning Ning, you can't expect her to play cards according to common sense."
The female cultivator was quite convinced, and gave a low "um".
=====
In the sea of ancient trees and forests, blood is overflowing.
The rich, deep red blood mist is misty like smoke, entwined in the quiet air. The vegetation that originally exuded light blue or light green dim light seemed to be soaked in blood. Although it was still emitting dim light, it turned into a depressed dark red.
Ning Ning was still trying to ask the system in her mind, but the latter always seemed to be blocked and did not respond at all.
The further you go inside, the more eerie and terrifying the scene becomes.
The vines flew up and down, and several branches as thick as children's arms reflected the mad shadows of a group of demons, like the knuckles of evil ghosts, constantly lashing the ground.
Not only the vines, but also the flowers and plants seem to have self-awareness. The petals open and close recklessly, against the background of the crimson light, reminiscent of the peeping, blinking red eyes hidden in the dark.
After the battle between the immortals and the demons, the power of the demons was greatly damaged, and there was no news for a long time. And the ancient wood forest sea, as a place where spiritual energy gathers, has now given birth to an endless stream of magical energy... The reason for this is really thought-provoking.
Ning Ning waved his sword again and cut off a cane that came from behind.
From time to time, I could see disciples of various sects fleeing in a hurry, but she was the only one who walked in against the crowd. The girl's figure is slender but firm, like a sharp sword, breaking a path completely different from others in the red mist.
-wrong.
Walking in with her, there was another female nun.
It was a girl in Wanjianzong's uniform, with a clean and beautiful appearance, cold as frost, cold wind-like eyebrows, thin lips pursed into a straight arc, no happiness or anger can be seen.
She obviously noticed Ning Ning, and turned her head expressionlessly: "Wan Jianzong, Su Qinghan."
The two of them met for the first time, and this self-reporting came unexpectedly, but thinking of Su Qinghan's character setting, Ning Ning didn't feel so surprised.
As the daughter of the elders of Wanjianzong, this eldest young lady was destined to be the proud son of heaven from birth, and naturally developed a arrogant temperament.
She is a very typical sword cultivator. She doesn't speak much of cold words. She draws her sword whenever she disagrees, and loves to find someone to fight one-on-one.
Getting along with people is even more straightforward, and I don’t want to take a second look at people I don’t like. On the contrary, if I get acquainted, I will naturally take the initiative to strike up a conversation without hesitation.
Now other people are running away, only the two of them dare to go in against the crowd. Based on this alone, no matter what the opponent's sword skills are, Su Qinghan is willing to make friends with him.
Ning Ning smiled at her: "Xuanxu Sword Sect, Ning Ning. Hello."
Su Qinghan looked indifferent and nodded in greeting: "It turned out to be Junior Sister Ningning from Elder Tianxian's sect. I wonder why Junior Sister entered the forest this time?"
"I heard that a junior brother was trapped by the Ten Thousand Years Dragon Blood Tree and wanted to rescue him."
She touched the tip of her nose a little embarrassedly: "I'm out of love, I have nothing to say. Senior Sister Su must be trying to get rid of demons, right?"
Su Qinghan shook his head: "Junior Sister Ningning doesn't need to belittle herself. I am willing to take risks for my classmates, which is beyond the reach of others."
This girl speaks in a delicate manner, not much like a swordsman.
"Nowadays, the ancient woods and forests have undergone sudden changes, and the demonic energy is overflowing. I heard that the dragon's blood tree was the first to hurt people. This accident is likely to be inseparable from it."
Su Qinghan said again: "You want to save people, I want to get rid of demons. If you want to come to the same destination, you will go to the dragon's blood tree."
Ning Ning nodded and replied, "Yeah."
The color of the forest gradually deepened, and the devilish energy gradually became stronger.
By the time the two of them could see the vigorous branches of the dragon's blood tree, the oppression brought by the demonic energy had become so strong that it felt like a heavy boulder pressing on the heart, making it difficult to even breathe.
Compared with the scene of Lin Hai, this place has become an inhuman purgatory.
The wriggling branches of the trees looked like sturdy snakes, some lurking in the ground quietly, some suspended in the air, and the blood-like red mist gathered into a piece, making Ning Ning have an illusion in a trance, as if he was in a place. In the scarlet sea.
Several monks were wrapped in layers of rattan, forming an airtight cocoon. Su Qinghan told her in a low voice that it was the way the demons absorbed the spiritual power. The imprisoned people would not die, but would become an endless supply of nourishment.
As for the dragon's blood tree in the center—
Ning Ning had never seen such a big tree.
Gao Ke is towering, and the canopy that covers the sky and closes the sun, the canopy is emerald green, and the dark red oozes from the top of the leaf, as if it was injured and bleeding. The luxuriant leaves are dense and impenetrable, and no moonlight slips in. Under the cracked trunk are the thick roots of the ancient trees, like huge claws slowly opening, grasping the scarlet soil under the tree.
The intensity of the demonic energy was beyond her imagination.
Ning Ning frowned secretly, with the cultivation base of this tree, I am afraid that even if she joins forces with Su Qinghan, she may not necessarily be its opponent.
- After all, people are more than 10,000 years old and always have two brushes.
She held her breath, and her heart skipped a beat when she saw a scene not far from the dragon's blood tree.
The boy dressed in black was not surrounded by all the trees and vines, but gritted his teeth and resisted with blood.
That was really Pei Ji.
Pei Ji's current situation is really not good, and he has almost been forced into a desperate situation.
The vines became stronger and stronger, and they attacked him like a wave without interruption. Although most of them were cut off by the long sword, a few cruelly cut through the skin, leaving behind a string of deep visible bones. The hideous bloodstain.
His eyebrows and eyes could not be seen clearly in the blood mist, Ning Ning could only see his dark shadow, and the blood spattered when his body was torn open, which was thicker than the blood that spread in Lin Hai.
Pei Ji should have run out of physical strength, and his spiritual power is not much left. But even so, he was still desperately resisting, the sword light was flying, and his back was always straight, reminiscent of the thin but tall Qingsong.
Several venomous snake-like vines attacked together from all directions, but Pei Ji's spiritual power was no longer enough to use the sword light to differentiate.
Arms, calves and necks were entangled in vines, and the spikes on the branches pierced the skin. He gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound, still holding the sword tightly in his hand, bloodshot in his eyes surging like a tide.
He was almost surrounded by layers of rattan.
"Sister Su."
Ning Ning pondered for a moment, and the sound transmission sounded into his ears: "The matter of dealing with the dragon's blood tree still needs to be considered in the long run. Before that, can you do me a favor?"
She said and thought for a while: "Senior sister, isn't this naturally formed spirit monster not very smart?"
=====
Dracaena handles new prey with ease.
The meandering branches pierced tightly into the flesh and blood, and more vines continued to come up, like a vicious dog that hadn't eaten for a long time, rushing towards the food.
The scarred youth almost turned into a bloody man, the long sword in his hand hummed lowly, but he was no longer able to resist.
Seeing that there were more and more vines, Pei Ji was about to be swallowed up, and suddenly a snow-white sword light flashed not far away, which suddenly pierced the overwhelming blood mist.
The circling branches were stunned for a moment, and turned their heads together.
The dragon's blood tree has been born for thousands of years, and it needs a lot of aura, so there are not many trees growing beside it, so as not to be deprived of nutrients. In the surrounding light green grass, stood a young girl.
Ning Ning raised his chin and smiled arrogantly: "I thought it was a great monster, but it turned out to be just a tree. If I kill you, will the mutation end?"
Yellow mouth child!
The branches and vines crawling on the ground suddenly rose up when they heard the words, and all of them took to the air to make an offensive gesture. Ning Ning became the target of public criticism, but there was no fear, but he drew his sword with a faint expression.
The fight with Pei Ji consumed most of its patience. This time, the rattan did not attack one by one, but gathered into a huge net and rushed straight towards her.
When he was about to touch her, he didn't expect Ning Ning to curl his lips into a smile, and his crisp voice fell in a deep voice: "Senior Sister Su, it's now!"
- It's a scam!
Vine's movements stopped abruptly, she threw her existence aside without thinking, and hurriedly turned around.
As expected, another female sword cultivator held a long sword and ran towards somewhere quickly. Look where she's going...
It was the prey it had just caught!
This outburst is useless to it!
Dozens of long vines were unsheathed like sharp knives and attacked the sword cultivator who appeared later. Su Qinghan's expression remained the same, and he recited the sword art in his heart. In an instant, the qi of the sword rose in all directions, and the sword light was divided into six light blue phantoms, surrounding her in the center.
The cold wind appeared, and the sword light rose.
The sword energy was surging like a river, and wherever the sword wind touched, there was a looming sparkling water light, quite like a water dragon looking up, but in an instant, most of the vines were cut off.
The dragon's blood tree was thoroughly enraged, and the blood-red color on the leaves was more obvious.
However, just when it was going to use all its strength to teach this little Jianxiu a lesson, he suddenly felt unsuspecting that his body had suffered another sharp sword wound.
Exactly the direction its new prey is in.
The branches cut through the air quickly, turned to look at the source of the pain, and let out a scream similar to a roar.
—Ning Ning came to Pei Ji at some point, and the star-marked sword in his hand was shining brightly.
Dragon's blood tree finally understood.
When it was full of heart that it had cracked the trick, and concentrated all of its energy on dealing with the sword cultivator who appeared later, the bait that was left behind turned out to be...
It actually broke the layers of confinement on Pei Ji's body.
This is Ning Ning's strategy, taking advantage of the inertial thinking that everyone has.
There is also a little bit of natural quirky IQ deficiency.
Judging from the overwhelming magical energy around, the strength of the dragon's blood tree is unfathomable. These vines must be just simple appetizers. If there is a head-on conflict with it, I am afraid that the plot will have to be renamed.
It's called "Nobody Survives Extra Story: Ancient Woods and Forests".
So she first acted as the bait in the Tiaohu Lishan plan, and when the time was right, she shouted deliberately, and shifted the attention of the dragon blood tree to Su Qinghan.
Dragon's Blood Tree thinks that he has broken the strategy, and will subconsciously use her as a bait without threat, so as to relax his vigilance on Ning Ning and regard Su Qinghan as the primary hunting target.
But it would never have thought that the first one who rushed out to act as a bait was actually the one who was really going to rescue Pei Ji.
Let it taste the sweetness first, thinking that he is in a position to control the situation, so that the dragon's blood tree will be convinced of this scam.
It's a pity that Dragon Blood Tree has never played e-sports, so I will never know.
=====
Pei Ji bit her tongue hard, and her scattered consciousness finally became clearer.
The vines had already covered both eyes, the sight was pitch black, and there was a long, harsh roar in the ears, and nothing could be heard.
The unbearable pain came from the place where the vines were cut, and every breath would lead to a heart-piercing sting. The dark pupils of the young man were as deep as a pool, and there was a trace of decisive cruelty.
Pei Ji is never soft-hearted towards the enemy, and he is equally ruthless towards himself without hesitation.
The situation in front of him is in a desperate situation. If you want to break free from the bondage, you can only fight to the death, condense all the remaining power into shape, and pierce the vines in one fell swoop.
It's just that his current body is overwhelmed. Once he uses that method, his internal organs will be severely damaged, and life or death is up to fate.
The smell of rust in the mouth became stronger and stronger, and Pei Ji evoked a self-deprecating sneer.
He has no other choice.
Without family and friends, and without a secret method of chance to rely on, he has long been accustomed to struggling back and forth between life and death by himself, barely holding on to this rotten life full of holes.
Like encountering wolves in the deep mountains when I was a child, being locked in a dark room by my mother for three days and three nights, and encountering monsters on the way to the Xuanxu Sword Sect for apprenticeship, I can only fight for my life with an iron sword.
No one will care about this life even if he dies. There is no salvation or miracle in the world. He can only rely on himself.
The bloodshot in the bottom of the eye is getting thicker and thicker, like spider silk clinging to the entire pupil. Pei Ji's expression was cold, and she silently recited the magic formula in her heart, feeling that the spiritual energy was gradually rising, and the path was broken through the meridians and skin.
It was burning hot all over, and the pain was almost numb.
The sea of consciousness vibrated, and the cold-eyed young man moved his fingertips slightly, just as he was about to activate his spiritual power, suddenly saw a flash of white light in front of him.
It was a mighty sword light.
- The snow-white sword light is like the silver currents falling from the Tianhe River, and the stars dotted in lines are bright like pearls, breaking open the rattan that bound him firmly, and also cut open the silence and darkness shrouded in Pei Ji's side.
The sword wind was blowing, and the crushed branches rose in response to the situation. The wind and the blood and the galaxy reflected each other in the distance. In the blurred vision, he saw the girl's black hair raised by the wind.
And eyes brighter than the moonlight.
Pei Ji's heart, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly jumped.
"Ah, little brother."
Ning Ning looked up at him, secretly relieved in her heart, she still insisted on the character setting of the vicious female supporting role on the bright side, and raised a smile from the corner of her mouth: "There is still one breath left, you are not dead, right?"
"Yes, it's Ningning, woohoo!"
Chengyingjian in his heart almost burst into tears: "She actually came to save you Pei Ji! She she she she actually!"
she-
Pei Ji had a splitting headache, why did she come here
It was clear that when the mutation happened before, he did not see the figure of this fellow senior sister nearby.
The thought hadn't subsided, but suddenly, the boy suddenly widened his eyes—
Ning Ning held his back and pulled him into his arms.
Although it was a completely routine action without charm, it still caused Pei Ji to hold his breath conditioned reflexively.
The terrifying blood stains from the wound all smeared on her chest, but Ning Ning did not show any disgust, but said to him carelessly: "Hey, I didn't come here on purpose to save you, I just happened to see someone This poor fellow looks familiar, and intends to help out—get it?"
She had a scent of gardenias that was incompatible with the smell of blood.
When he spoke, the light and warm breath fell on his ear, like a faint electric current, spreading from the earlobe to the heart.
Pei Ji lowered her eyelashes and softly said "um".
Dragon Blood Tree noticed Ning Ning's actions, knew that he had been deceived, and was furious.
For a time, there was a loud wind in the forest, and the blood-red resin seeped out of thin air on the tree trunk, as if screaming blood, it was extremely strange.
Hundreds of vines rose into the air, no longer targeting Su Qinghan, vowing to put the sword repairer who played him all over the place to death.
But how could she just stay in place and wait to be beaten.
After realizing that his home had been stolen, Dragon Blood Tree would definitely give up on Su Qinghan and attack her again.
Ning Ning had thought of this for a long time, so he instructed Su Qinghan to run away as far as possible when attracting monsters, so as to buy time for her and Pei Ji to escape.
It's not good for trees to become fine, and wood heads are always not very smart.
"It may be a little bumpy, you should be careful."
Ning Ning exchanged glances with Su Qinghan in the distance, put both hands on Pei Ji's back, and his voice was brisk and public: "Let's go."
As soon as the voice fell, a white light appeared under his feet.
Fortunately, the vegetation around the dragon's blood tree is sparse, and it can fly with the sword effortlessly.
The sound of the wind and the girl's voice poured into her eardrums together, and Pei Ji heard her speak solemnly: "Don't be too sentimental and think I'm good to you. I need to be paid for saving people. You can decide how many spirit stones you need."
Ning Ning was still trying his best to set up a character, and another sword light appeared silently beside him. Standing on the sword, it was Su Qinghan who escaped easily.
The young Jianxiu looked at her and Pei Ji roughly, and showed a clear look: "This is the junior brother you insist on saving even if you risk your life?"
The star-marked sword shook violently.
However, Senior Sister Wanjianzong, who is a straight daughter of Steel, didn't notice that Ning Ning's face was wrong at all, and continued to say with a bit of envy: "I was wondering why Junior Sister Ningning came to rescue him without any trouble. Look, the relationship between the two is really good. Unlike my junior brother, who is very naughty all day long, it makes people worry-"
Speaking of this, he suddenly raised his voice in confusion: "Strange, why is Junior Sister's face so red? Could it be that she was poisoned by something?"
Ning Ning tried to pull out an embarrassed but polite smile.
She just wanted to wave goodbye to this beautiful world.
Sister Su, do you know
In fact, you are the most poisonous little goblin.
