The depths of the nameless valley were already in a state of chaos. Countless vines were torn apart, towering trees were broken, rocks were cracked and broken, and there were even ravines several feet deep on the ground.
A few hundred meters away from the source-devouring vine, a hideous green giant python corpse lay quietly. Its body was covered with countless knife marks and sword marks that were deep enough to see the bones. The flesh and blood all over the body were rolled and dripping with blood, and there was no good flesh anywhere. , one of the attacks almost cut it in two, completely killing this tenacious seventh-level monster.
At the same time, many corpses of warriors whose flesh and blood were indistinguishable could also be found near the corpse of the monster. Obviously, the battle just now was not easy.
Phew!
A shrill cry from the sky resounded through the area again. Everyone on the ground looked at it, and saw that the giant gray bird looked as miserable as the giant cyan python below.
There were only a few feathers left on its body, one wing was broken, and several bloody holes were pierced through its chest. Blood continued to flow from it and dripped on the ground.
In front of it, an old man in gray clothes with a withered complexion was walking in the air holding a wooden cane. The aura exuding from his body clearly showed that his cultivation was in the Divine Sea realm!
"Beast, it's time for you to go now."
Glancing at the giant python corpse on the ground, the old man in gray shirt coughed and did not choose to fight with the latter, preparing to end the battle.
Whoosh!
The figure of the old man in gray clothes was like a ghost, appearing across space above the head of the giant gray bird in an instant. The wooden cane made of unknown materials in his hand was slightly raised, and it seemed to be slow but was actually as fast as lightning to stab the latter's head.
The giant gray bird was instantly shrouded in a terrifying crisis. The remaining feathers on its body exploded, and its beak let out a scream, preparing to use all the energy in its body to stop the old man in gray shirt, but it had no effect.
In the eyes of everyone, the wooden crutch sank into the huge head of the gray giant bird without any hindrance. The violent real energy shook slightly, and the inside instantly turned into mud. The giant gray bird's red eyes froze, the spiritual light dissipated, and the energy that was about to explode in his body collapsed instantly.
Bang!
The huge corpse fell from the sky, causing a burst of flying sand and rocks.
The only surviving nine-tailed civet saw the giant cyan python and the giant gray bird fall one after another. It had a high intelligence and was not too affected by the fragrance of the medicine. It instantly regained its clarity. It understood its current situation.
I saw the nine-tailed civet knocking away the sneak attack sword of a warrior with one claw, and dodge several attacks with its body. Then its figure exploded violently, and instantly broke away from the people who besieged it, and submerged into the sea of dense vines with all its injuries. , disappeared without a trace.
Ji Chen looked at the nine-tailed civet that was escaping, and stretched out his hand to stop his men who wanted to pursue him. Compared with a seventh-level monster, he had more important things to do now.
Ji Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the old man in gray shirt who fell from the air, and then looked at a man with black hair and black clothes on the side, carrying a long black knife on his waist, and exuding a cold and cold temperament.
Just now, it was this man who fought with the giant green python, a level 7 monster, and killed it with a single blow.
The old man in gray shirt with the withered yellow wall on the wall coughed and bowed slightly to Ji Chen, "The old and withered old man pays homage to His Highness the Fifth Prince."
Everyone was a little confused when they saw the old man in gray shirt saluting Ji Chen as a strong man in the Divine Sea Realm. However, when they heard the name he addressed Ji Chen, they suddenly realized.
"That man is the fifth prince? Why is he here? Isn't he in the imperial city?"
The fifth prince, Ji Chen, can be said to be the proud son of heaven who is well-known in the Tang Dynasty.
On the day of his birth, he was gifted with a vision of a white rainbow piercing the sun, which alarmed both the government and the public. He began to practice martial arts at the age of ten, reached the peak of body tempering at the age of sixteen, and broke through to the Lingyuan realm at the age of seventeen, becoming the youngest peerless genius in the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years.
He was gentle and courteous to others, and he was one of the top ten in the last list of geniuses. He was the dream lover of countless young girls in the Tang Dynasty, and he was also admired and admired by countless warriors.
It is said that the fifth prince has many supporters in the court. It seems that the king of Tang is also very satisfied with him and intends to make him the crown prince. It can be said that the fifth prince is very likely to be the next king of the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, the fifth prince at this time should be located in the imperial city thousands of miles away, and should not appear here.
Ji Chen's eyes were calm, "Old Dry Ghost, who has cultivated in the Divine Sea Realm, and Gu Jue, the Mo Swordsman who is fifth on the list of geniuses. I didn't expect that the boss and the third boss are so willing to send you here."
The old man withered ghost grinned, "His Royal Highness the Third Prince heard that there is a strange and strange fruit that he has never heard of before, so he sent me to come and explore it."
Ji Chen secretly came here to find out the whereabouts of the God of Punishment. Since he could get the news here, the third prince Ji Wuya could also get it.
However, the latter did not have the courage of the former and dared to come secretly to search for him alone. He just sent his own capable generals.
The other man with a cold aura all over his body was sent by the eldest prince.
Gu Jue, the black swordsman, looked at Ji Chen with cold eyes. He had no worries because of his identity. Apart from the sword and the man's order, everything else had nothing to do with him.
"You are very strong, how about a fight between you and me?"
Gu Jue took a step forward and looked directly at Ji Chen, with a strong fighting spirit in his body, as if he would draw his sword to fight the latter in the next moment.
In the battle just now, Ji Chen led everyone to stop the nine-tailed civet. Although he only made a few moves to stop the nine-tailed civet from killing his men, Gu Jue saw that Ji Chen was powerful and was by no means weaker than him.
This made Gu Jue, who was so warlike and crazy about swords, not wanting to fight him.
Ji Chen glanced at Gu Jue and smiled lightly: "If you want to fight, don't be afraid! But it's not a fight here and now."
The most important thing now is to find the news about the divine object of punishment. As long as we can find some information about the divine object, it is a great opportunity. Everything else is unimportant.
Now that the overall situation has been decided, if Ji Chen guessed correctly, the unknown spiritual vine must have some connection with the divine object of punishment!
Thinking of this, Ji Chen ignored everyone, stepped on his feet, and his figure rushed out, heading towards the Source Devouring Vine.
