Qianye was not in a hurry to climb to the top of the tree to check, but pulled out Dongyue and input the original force, a faint crimson brilliance immediately appeared on Dongyue's sword edge, and the silver lines on the sword also shimmered.
After adding Tianshui Heavy Silver and Hair Youjing, Dongyue's power has been further enhanced, and it has already far surpassed ordinary seventh-level weapons. Although the trunk of the strange big tree is hard, it is no more than the armor plate of a chariot. How can it stop Dongyue from cutting it? With a little force from Qianye, Dongyue had already cut a deep cut in the tree trunk.
The big tree trembled, as if it was crying, and the purple-black matrix around the roots also set off layer upon layer of ripples, and quickly went away. This scene looked extremely strange, as if this kind of big tree, including the purple-black matrix covering the vast forest, had life.
However, in the real field of view, Qianye saw that after cutting the trunk, the original force flowing inside was disturbed, which caused the entire tree's original force cycle to be disordered, which caused this scene. The root system of the big tree spreads over a wide range, and the force fluctuations are transmitted along the root system, forming layer-by-layer fluctuations in the substrate.
Milky white juice oozes from the crack, with a faint fragrance. As soon as it comes out, it emits wisps of original force. Qianye dipped a little bit with his finger, put it in his mouth and tasted it.
Sure enough, this is the source liquid!
It's just that the original force contained in this natural source liquid is closer to the original force of the void, located in the middle of the eternal night and the dawn, and slightly more on the dark side. Compared with the source liquid of the Marrow Washing Pool of the Zhao Faction, this natural source liquid needs to be added with many ingredients, and after a series of refining and purification, it can only be used by practitioners of the dawn force after the dark force is removed.
Even so, it's surprising enough. The Zhao family is the top family in the empire, and it takes two or three months to prepare a pool of source liquid. In this way, the source liquid that a strange tree can produce is worth thousands of gold coins, and such a forest is vast and endless, and the monsters inside How many trees are there? Thousands, or even tens of thousands? This forest alone is worth fighting a local war for the empire.
Qianye sighed deeply, this is only a small area on this landmass, and there are more unknown areas that don't know what kind of treasures are hidden.
It's no wonder that both the Eternal Night Council and the empire are always interested in conquering and exploring the new continent. Once the great families have a talented patriarch, they will always choose to expand their territories. Although doing so is very risky, there are many inevitable sacrifices and sacrifices casualties.
But new territories mean more resources, and more resources mean faster development. Only in this way can human beings gain more living space and survive in this world favored by darkness.
At this moment, Qianye suddenly discovered that the shock wave that had been transmitted far away disappeared somewhere.
someone!
Qianye immediately opened his real vision, looked in the direction of the shock wave, and saw a figure flashing indistinctly, and then disappeared.
That person moved extremely quickly, and even Qianye was unable to catch the follow-up trace. He immediately held Dongyue in his hand, restrained his breath, and walked step by step to the place where the figure disappeared.
That figure never appeared in the field of vision again, as if there was a target for the next step, and it was already far away.
When he was about to approach the place where the figure flashed, Qianye suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood. He sped up his pace a little, passing over the purple-black matrix like the wind, without stirring up any fluctuations in the matrix.
Around a big tree, Qianye was startled suddenly.
Behind the tree, there were several dead bodies, all dressed in Zhao Clan costumes. Qianye's heart sank, he looked around first, and then walked towards the scene.
Qianye recognized most of these Zhao Clan powerhouses. They were all elites in the bloody battle, and they were also the elites that the Zhao Clan sent in to explore this time. They died here before they penetrated into the core area.
Qianye's face changed slightly, and his heart seemed to suddenly sink into ice water. He calmed down a bit, and instead of inspecting the corpses on the ground immediately, he opened the pupil of true sight again, sweeping the surrounding ground and trees one by one.
There were surprisingly few battle traces left at the scene, but there were no traces of the blue sky and the purple air of the western pole, which meant that Zhao Jundu was not with them.
Qianye exhaled lightly, and relaxed his tense nerves a little. He squatted down and turned over a face-down corpse at his feet, and his face suddenly turned gloomy.
Not only had he met this person before, but he had also met him under the Iron Curtain. When Qianye returned to the Iron Curtain, he once rescued a team of the Zhao Clan. At that time, the team was already in trouble. As a general, this man had a chance to escape alone, but he still fought to the death and blocked the attack of several times his own strength. , until the arrival of Qianye.
Because of this achievement, this person was appreciated by the family afterwards, and decided to tilt resources and focus on cultivation.
It's just that he didn't expect that the enemy under the Iron Curtain didn't let him die, but he fell in this strange forest. He is still very young, but all dreams are gone at this moment.
Qianye's heart felt like a heavy stone, indescribably heavy. Under the Iron Curtain, in the brutal bloody battle, a group of elite fighters were honed, which also made it easier for people who had fought side by side to be recognized by each other. Nothing can test a person's nature more than life and death. Although they got along for a short time, Qianye already regarded those Zhao Clan fighters who had fought side by side as comrades-in-arms.
Comrades, the weight of this word is still higher than that of friends.
Qianye stretched out his hand to caress his body, then untied his armor and checked the wound. There was only one fatal injury, and that was an extremely thin and smooth knife edge on the side of the neck. The knife was fast and steady, and it directly severed his cervical spine, killing him with one knife.
It seems that this warrior named Zhao Shizhong was killed in one blow only when he met an unrivaled opponent. But the problem is that the stabbing was too easy, and Zhao Shizhong had no chance to resist at all, which caused such a wound.
However, Qianye is very aware of his combat power. In the range of the two ranks of Darkness Viscount and Earl, unless someone like Zhao Jundu takes action and has a domain ability similar to that of Bafang Town, he can be instantly defeated. kill.
If it were Qianye himself, he would be sure to kill Zhao Shizhong instantly, but it is impossible to create such a wound, and it is impossible to kill so cleanly, so clean that there is no trace of struggle. Could it be that these Zhao Clan fighters met a big man above the Marquis of Darkness
Qianye stretched out a finger, pressed it against the corpse's throat, and moved it down little by little. The fingertips continuously sent strands of original force into Zhao Shizhong's body. When moving to the chest, Qianye felt that the feedback force was a little strange, so he pressed lightly with his finger, and the skin where the finger fell sank immediately, and then did not bounce back, just like that, a crater was formed.
This pit is larger and deeper than that formed by normal corpses. It's not just that the body loses its elasticity, but the sternum is also sunken together. The force of Qianye's finger was not too strong, it was not enough to crush the sternum. For apparently unknown reasons, the sternum of the corpse had become extra fragile.
Qianye thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry, brother!"
He pulled out his saber and used all his strength to cut open the chest of the corpse to examine the internal organs. After the chest cavity was opened, the exposed internal organs were indeed all shattered, and some organs were even turned into a lump of shapeless meat paste.
Obviously, Zhao Shizhong was attacked by some kind of secret. There was no scar on the outside, but almost all internal organs were destroyed, so he lost the ability to resist and was killed with a single knife. In fact, that knife only cut off his last chance to struggle, and all vitality had ended the moment his internal organs were destroyed.
To become a warrior, there are no dead ends in force defense, only strengths and weaknesses. However, what kind of attack can penetrate the force defense of a twelfth-level warrior and directly destroy the internal organs
Qianye's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a very bad premonition. He thought of his pupil technique: Controlling, isn't it a similar ability
Pupil technique: control, can ignore the defense of the force, and directly affect the opponent's internal organs. However, Qianye tried it, and the destructive power he controlled was not strong enough to directly destroy the opponent's core organs. In the past, when he used this ability, he only used this kind of attack to expose the opponent's flaws, so as to control the rhythm of the battle.
However, the person who killed Zhao Shizhong directly destroyed most of his internal organs under the defense of Zhao Clan's elite generals. This lethality was much stronger than control.
Qianye let out a long breath, always feeling uneasy in his heart, but there was something in his subconscious that made him instinctively unwilling to think about it. He inspected the remaining corpses again, and found that there was another one whose cause of death was the same as that of Zhao Shizhong. Most of the low-level fighters had nothing to do with their internal organs, but were killed from the outside by the obviously powerful opponent.
These corpses were thrown here, and the blood flowed out, which had already caused the reaction of the matrix. The matrix is like loose soil, constantly absorbing blood. The matrix that was full of blood was constantly wriggling, gradually piling up, and spreading upwards along the corpse. Seeing that it won't take long, the matrix will completely cover the corpse.
Qianye frowned, looking at the scene in front of him, he felt very uncomfortable. Thinking of his strange experience in the Black Forest, he always felt that these strange substances would also devour flesh and blood and turn them into nourishment. He cut open the matrix with a knife, moved all the corpses to one place, sprinkled them with fuel, and set them on fire. He would rather these former comrades-in-arms be reduced to ashes in the raging fire than to be submerged by these substrates.
Qianye stood by the fire, watching the raging fire rising. The matrix also seemed to be afraid of the flames, and kept retreating to the surroundings. And the part affected by the flames also ignited, but the burning was not very violent.
After standing by the fire for a while, Qianye walked to the depths of the forest, where the mysterious figure disappeared. At this moment, he was in no mood to continue exploring the secrets of these strange trees, he just wanted to catch up with the person who was related to the death of these Zhao Clan fighters.
After walking a few tens of meters, Qianye looked back, and the raging pillar of fire had become very blurred. Walking a few tens of meters further, without opening the real field of vision, he could no longer see the burning pillar of fire with only his extraordinary vision. From this we can see how powerful this forest suppresses perception.
Qianye lit the pillar of fire, also thinking of attracting the enemy. His vision is obviously much farther than that of ordinary people. Even if someone approaches, he can detect the opponent first and launch a fatal blow. But now it seems that the effect is not great. Even if the whole tree is set on fire, only people within 100 meters will be able to see it.
Qianye walked through the forest at a leisurely pace, always paying attention to the movements around him.
Hundreds of meters away, a pair of eyes were looking at him through a special scope. In the scope, the center of a pair of bat wings representing the front sight always follows Qianye's head.
But until Qianye walked out of the sight of the scope, there was no gunfire in the forest.
On the spherical canopy of a big tree in the distance, Yetong lay there, his breath seemed to be completely integrated with the surroundings. Holding a gorgeous sniper rifle in her arms, she silently looks at the world around her through the camera.
It wasn't until Qianye walked for a long time that she slowly got up and disassembled the sniper rifle and put it away.
Beside her, the scene was blurred and distorted for a while, and a figure of a demon appeared, with a faint blue light emitting from the vertical pupil on his forehead. He glanced at Yetong with some doubts, and asked in a low voice: "Didn't you find it? Why do I feel abnormal force fluctuations in that direction?"
"If you have any doubts, you can go and check it yourself." Yetong replied in his usual cold voice.
The demon frowned slightly, and then said, "Your Highness, I didn't mean to offend you. Although I have a piercing eye, I am still not as good as Your Highness. Therefore, my role is to assist you and protect you."
Ye Tong was noncommittal and said, "Let's go to the next place."
