Volume Two Chapter 74: Walking Alone, Oversight Ambushed
A small gap opened in the void somewhere, and with a flash of light, a figure staggered out of it. He raised his eyes to look at the surrounding environment, and what he saw was an endless stretch of waist-deep fluffy grass.
The familiar sunshine is the same as the outside world. The sun is still hanging in the sky. I think it will be the same as the outside world at night.
After carefully investigating the surrounding situation, Xu Chenglin felt slightly relieved. The voice transmission from Master Qingshang was still in his ears, and he understood what was going on after a moment of thought.
"The five of us were plotted by someone, which prevented us from teleporting together. From what Master Qingshang said, this should be related to the Blue Jade Sect. That's right! The fact that we killed the Blue Jade Sect disciples has now been resolved
It’s not a secret anymore, and it makes sense for people to take revenge. The current plan should be to try to unite with everyone, and then make a plan to kill the Lan Yu Sect.”
Although he thought clearly in his heart, Xu Chenglin still felt extremely aggrieved. Among the five people, why was he the unlucky one? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel angry.
"That's his mother! You're a bastard of the Blue Jade Sect! One day, I will personally recover this debt!"
After cursing a few times, Xu Chenglin's depression eased slightly. Since he had not expected to be separated from everyone, he did not carry the sect's summoning fireworks with him.
A strategic mistake prevented him from acting together with the team for the time being. In fact, it was no wonder that he rarely acted with other people. Xu Chenglin had no idea of relying on the group at all.
This long period of collective action gave him some collective consciousness. After being separated from everyone, he immediately thought of finding a way to reunite, which is already commendable.
"I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. Since I have completely broken up with the Lan Yu Sect, I won't be polite anymore!"
Thinking of what Master Qing Shang had told him, Xu Chenglin also became heartbroken and made up his mind secretly.
After identifying the direction, Xu Chenglin chose to move towards the rich green in the distance. According to his outing experience, the green was none other than a forest.
If there is anything strange in the secret realm, it must be in the forest, not in this unobstructed patch of grass.
Being in an unfamiliar environment, Cheng Xulin did not dare to move forward at full speed rashly. He carefully and gradually explored forward. It was this cautious attitude that allowed him to make some unexpected gains under the grass.
The fluffy grass that has grown for an unknown number of years is covered with thick dead branches and leaves. As the saying goes, things must turn to their extremes. There is also life in the dead branches and leaves, but these life forces are all in a sealed state, waiting for their return.
At that moment, as the fluffy grass was pushed aside, Xu Chenglin discovered a dozen strange plants underneath.
These plants are only one inch tall, with a single tender green stem supporting a light blue fruit the size of a fingernail. Xu Chenglin was delighted when he saw these strange plants hidden under the grass.
Three words came to his mind.
This thing is recorded in the Zongmen Wen Daotang materials. The stem is a rare healing holy medicine. The light blue fruit on the top contains infinite vitality and can be used to heal wounds and instantly replenish spiritual power.
Most of the various magical powers of practitioners require the support of spiritual power. Therefore, for practitioners, things that can instantly replenish spiritual power are particularly valuable.
Wherever there is a valuable treasure, there must be something to protect it. Xu Chenglin did not touch these dozens of spiritual cultivars rashly. He took out his long sword and carefully moved around, and a scent of blood mixed with blood instantly rushed into his chest.
In the nose.
Knowing that the smell was wrong, Xu Chenglin hurriedly held his breath. As the strange aroma appeared, he suddenly
A two-foot-long green centipede poked out from among the dead branches.
Before the green centipede could react, Xu Chenglin slashed the centipede into three pieces with two consecutive swings of his sword. Gray-brown blood flowed from the centipede's body, and the three-piece body twisted a few times before becoming stiff and motionless.
The fishy smell filled the air instantly. Xu Chenglin held his breath and moved the centipede's corpse with his sword. An oval-shaped green bead rolled out from the centipede's corpse. As soon as the bead appeared, the fishy smell disappeared instantly.
Only a faint fragrance remains.
"The filth-removing bead? I didn't expect it to be this thing!"
Wherever poisonous substances appear, there must be something to detoxify them within five steps. The filth-removing beads are a strange thing that grows in the bodies of monsters and has the ability to remove hundreds of poisons and clean up filth.
This kind of thing is rarer than some heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and not every monster will have it in its body. Among a hundred thousand monsters, it is very rare to have one monster with a dirt-removing bead in its body. From this, we can
You can see how rare this thing is.
"I'm so lucky. I didn't expect to get two good things without going far."
Carefully putting away the filth removal beads, Xu Chenglin showed a satisfied smile after looking at the more than ten nurturing grasses.
After collecting the spirit-nurturing grass, he did not leave in a hurry, but continued to search around. Two hours later, he had cleared an open space within a few dozen feet, but he did not get any more spirit-nurturing grass.
strain.
"It seems that I am still greedy. This kind of thing is hard to come by, how can I find it everywhere."
With a self-deprecating smile, Xu Chenglin gave up and continued searching. He raised his head and glanced into the distance, then continued towards the forest.
After walking for about four hours, Xu Chenglin made another discovery. In his outer consciousness, Xu Chenglin saw traces of being trampled on the grass in front of him. There was only one possibility for this to happen, and that was that someone arrived before him.
Pass here.
It was still unknown whether the front was an enemy or a friend, and Xu Chenglin became tense. As he continued walking, what Xu Chenglin saw was no longer trampled marks, but a road cleared by humans.
Seeing that there were no traces of avoidance, Xu Chenglin had already made a rough guess about the people who had passed by here before. The people who came before were either self-reliant on their strength, or they were very nervous. But if you think about it for a moment, you will know the probability of the former.
It should be larger. Because these marks don't look like they were made by one person at all, but more like they were made by a group of people.
The appearance of these traces successfully distracted Xu Chenglin's attention, so that he stepped into the formation without noticing it. In his spiritual consciousness, Xu Chenglin noticed that four monks were approaching him quickly in the distance. This
He was slightly startled and felt that something was wrong. He suddenly felt that there seemed to be something he had overlooked.
When he realized something was wrong, an array with a radius of ten feet lit up under his feet and enveloped him. White mist quickly rose in the array, and Xu Chenglin's sense of direction disappeared instantly, and he was reflected in the array.
There was a white mist in his eyes that was so thick that it couldn't be dissolved.
"Damn, this is a trap set by taking advantage of people's psychology! Arrange the formation in advance, both for warning and trapping the enemy. Then use the environment to attract attention, making people ignore the existence of the formation, triggering the formation to fall into
Among them, people from one's own side then took the opportunity to move out and kill the enemy by surprise. What a good plan and strategy!"
The moment he fell into the formation, Xu Chenglin thought everything clearly.
"I was so careless that I didn't see through the trap in advance."
Muttering to himself, Xu Chenglin touched the Heavenly Spirit Gourd at his waist, and two shining talismans instantly appeared in his hands.
Not knowing what kind of formation he was in, Xu Chenglin didn't dare
He rushed forward rashly or attacked the formation. He activated a talisman without hesitation, and a thick golden light flourished.
The golden light turned into a shield, wrapping Xu Chenglin tightly. The existence of this armor talisman made Xu Chenglin no longer have any scruples, and he began to attack the formation.
It is foolish to hide one's clumsiness in a critical moment. Xu Chenglin is the strongest when he takes action. The Heavenly Spiritual Gourd on his waist flashes into his left hand, and the golden light flashes out of his right hand and the Lotus Flying Blade falls into his hand. With a wave of the flying blade in his hand, nine Lotus Flying Blades fly out.
came out and shot into the void ahead.
The thick white fog in front shook violently. In a moment, the fog dissipated and the scenery became clear. However, the fog filled in again and obscured the scenery in front of it. Other than that, the formation did not react at all. The flying blade seemed to hit something.
Nine of them bounced back together and circled around Xu Chenglin.
"It seems that this is just a formation that focuses on trapping enemies. Fortunately, it is not a formation that focuses on killing."
Feeling slightly relieved, Xu Chenglin commanded the flying blade to attack again, and Xu Chenglin observed the situation in the formation.
Compared to the first time, after Xu Chenglin finished his attack, the surrounding fog seemed to have become much lighter. Perhaps within a few strokes, the flying blade could break through the formation as a whole.
Putting away the Heavenly Spirit Gourd, Xu Chenglin controlled the nine flying blades with all his strength. It was indeed a top-level magic weapon, but after four or five attacks, the formation was shattered with a burst of cracking sounds.
The surrounding scenery returned to its original state, and Xu Chenglin left the spot and hid in the surrounding grass. In his consciousness, he had already seen four monks approaching.
The golden light on his body was taken back by him, and turned into a talisman and fell into his hand. Another talisman in his hand was activated, and after a burst of spiritual light, Xu Chenglin's figure slowly disappeared, and even the traces of his departure disappeared without a trace.
During the tea time, four figures came to the place where the formation was. Looking at the broken formation, the four people had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
"It's impossible. It just took less than half a quarter of an hour to break the formation and escape. The first group of four people couldn't break the formation so quickly. Instead, we were caught off guard and killed two of them.
People. How many people do we need in this team to be able to do this?"
The square-faced man looked surprised, and his tone was full of disbelief.
"The opponent does not necessarily have many people, it is possible that he or she knows a little about formations. This is just a simple trap. People with some knowledge about formations can break it easily, so don't be so surprised."
Although the monk wearing a bamboo hat was also surprised, he still analyzed it calmly.
"Junior Brother Wang, are you doubting Senior Brother Zhao's formation skills?"
A short and fat monk had a slightly proud expression on his face, as if he was proud that he had both flattered and defeated others.
The monk in the hat was about to speak, but a monk in white with a gloomy face interrupted him.
"Okay, I know that Junior Brother Wang doesn't mean this. I know the formation I set up, and it's really nothing worthy of praise. I just broke through the formation in a short time, and the opponent is quite capable."
"Senior Brother Zhao, what should we do now?"
The monk in the hat was slightly relieved after hearing what Senior Brother Zhao said, but he still did not dare to ask Da Da to ask about the next arrangements.
"We were ordered to block the incoming people from the bloody plain and cover others to seize the blood crystal stone. Now that person has run away in fear, we probably won't be able to catch up. For this purpose, we must first repair the damaged formation, and then look for him again.
I will continue to arrange formations to thwart others. The blood crystal that I, the Qingmu Sect, first discovered cannot be coveted by others."
There was a bit of coldness in Senior Brother Zhao's voice, and it was obvious that this man had planned to kill everyone who stood in his way.
