Chapter 1420 Unexpected turnaround
Chapter 1420 An unexpected turn
Fortunately, Meng Xiang has never been a person who cannot afford to lose, nor is he a person who dares not admit his mistakes. So when faced with the torture from the soul, he has a greater advantage than those who like to slap in the face and pretend to be fat. He can pass the test of torture at a speed that ordinary people cannot imagine, and this is also the reason why he can still withstand the judgment error and does not collapse.
However, this does not mean that Meng Xiang's crisis has passed. On the contrary, it has just begun, because not only was the resentment heading towards him, but it will completely submerge him soon. Moreover, a new group of humans have appeared in the teleportation array, which means that they will become sacrifices, and after they are killed, they will inevitably have extremely strong resentment.
For Meng Xiang at this moment, the threat and harm to him by resentment is undoubtedly great, and as the intensity increases, the danger and harm to him will increase exponentially. What's more terrible is that the threat posed by these resentment to him is not just a direct mental impact. The various resentments, doubts, anger, etc. before people's death will form propositions that torture Meng Xiang's soul, and it cannot be avoided. After all, he watched them die in front of him, and nothing did it.
If someone else questioned him, he might have various reasons to explain it, but the torture of his soul, all kinds of glamorous or concise or natural explanations will have no effect. In a certain aspect, the torture of the soul is extremely rough and extremely sharp, and it will not give Meng Xiang any chance to dodge.
In the following time, the sacrifices on the blood altar never stopped. They were still ordinary people at the beginning, but as time went by, the people who were sacrificed were no longer ordinary people, but became practitioners, immortals, or even directly immortals.
If it were at other times, no matter how big the people who were sacrificed changed, they would have a strong mood as a support, and would not have a great impact on Meng Xiang, but now it is different. Every time the grade of the sacrifice increases, the threat and harm to him will increase exponentially, and he himself cannot make any evasion.
In fact, as early as when the sacrifices left the category of ordinary people, many immortals had chosen to evacuate and left the location of the blood altar far away. When the sacrifices appeared, both the immortals and the monsters had announced that they had evacuated the blood altar, and even the strongest immortals and monsters did not stay.
Although this does not mean that the most powerful immortals and monsters can no longer withstand the strong resentment caused by the mass death of humans, it is enough to prove that resentment has had a considerable impact on them. However, compared to them, Meng Xiang is not so lucky, and he can only choose to stay where he is.
It’s not that Meng Xiang doesn’t want to retreat, but that he can’t withdraw at all. Apart from fearing that his whereabouts are exposed, his current state cannot move. However, as time goes by, the dangers that Meng Xiang encounters are increasing significantly, in addition to his own, there are also those from the outside world.
Although resentment cannot be touched, its impact is unquestionable, especially when its concentration reaches a certain level, it is not only a threat to animals, but also to plants. Although more and more dead humans have become, the plants around the blood altar begin to be unlucky, the leaves start to wilt, and then they begin to wither, and their colors begin to turn gray, as if they are moldy, and then they turn into ashes.
As time goes by, the area of dead plants continues to expand, and the time is not long. The dead area spreads to the giant tree where Meng Xiang is hiding. Although the giant tree has extremely strong wood-attribute energy and instinctively protects itself, it cannot avoid damage. After soaking in the extremely high concentration of resentment, its leaves also wilt and wither.
It would be fine if it was just the giant tree that was hurt, but Meng Xiang himself was hiding on the tree. Although he had reduced his body many times, it would still greatly increase his risk of exposure. What's worse is that in the face of this situation, he was powerless to stop it, so he could only smile bitterly in the end. Although he had considered various states before doing things, he was just an immortal after all. Although he seemed to be omnipotent in the eyes of ordinary people, in fact he himself knew that he had many things that he could not predict or control, such as the crisis he was facing now.
Meng Xiang can be sure that this outbreak of human resentment is definitely much stronger and more terrifying than any previous one. Otherwise, the giant tree he was hiding at this time would not exist. Meng Xiang has experienced such danger, so he is naturally not a person who gives up easily, but the problems he is facing at the moment are too special. He racked his brains and could not come up with any effective way to solve his current crisis.
What's worse is that because he was distracted and thought of other things, the pressure in his heart suddenly increased, which almost made his mind collapse. This made him feel shocked and he no longer dared to distract himself. At this time, he had already thought about it and tried his best. If it was really irreversible, he would have nothing to complain about.
I don’t know if it was Meng Xiang’s luck or the immortals and monsters who were both affected by resentment. Although the leaves of the giant tree where Meng Xiang was located fell one after another, his disguise was peeled off layer by layer, he did not find his existence.
However, Meng Xiang did not have the heart to be grateful at this time, unless the attack he encountered in his heart became more fierce and dangerous, and he had no heart to think about other things at all. He also knew very well that his failure to be discovered now does not mean that he would not have been discovered, and it is not worth celebrating at all.
As time went by, the damage suffered by the giant tree where Meng Xiang was located became more obvious. The time was not long, and the leaves were basically cleaned, and even some thin branches began to fall off. Fortunately, when Meng Xiang chose a place to hide, the branches he chose were thicker, otherwise he would have fallen along with the dead branches. However, there was nothing to be happy about, because although the branches where he was located were thick, the whole tree would die under the erosion of strong resentment. It was a matter of time before the branches where he was located fell off.
Although his situation became more dangerous, Meng Xiang's heart did not change much. People's adaptability was extremely strong. Meng Xiang was in extreme danger from the beginning. As time went by, although he was still facing his inner heart, his heart would become many times more sensitive than usual, but over time, he would not feel so sensitive.
Although Meng Xiang didn't care too much about his situation, his situation was indeed deteriorating. Soon the front part of the branch he was hiding began to break and spread to his location. If no accidents occurred, I believe that he would fall from the tree after a while, and his whereabouts would inevitably be exposed. Although both immortals and monsters retreated far away at this time, their strength was there, and it was impossible not to find his existence. Even in an environment where resentment was dispersed, their sensing ability would be less affected.
Fortunately, the worst case did not happen to Meng Xiang's body. Now, when Meng Xiang was hiding, it was less than a foot long. The sky above the giant tree suddenly changed. A thick light beam fell from the sky, directly piercing through the smoky environment created by resentment, and landed directly on the giant tree.
In an instant, a stream of giant trees sucked green light into their bodies, just like a sponge encountered water. When the amount of green light it sucked in reached a certain level, a powerful vitality burst out from its inside. With the emergence of vitality, the entire giant tree that had suffered huge damage immediately rejuvenated.
New branches and tender green leaves continued to grow and grew at an extremely fast speed. In the process, the blackened areas of the tree surface corroded by resentment were separated, revealing new and smooth bark. Fortunately, Meng Xiang was hiding inside the branches, otherwise he would have fallen off with the broken bark.
With just one cup of hot tea, the whole giant tree has completely recovered, and it is even more lush than before being hurt by resentment. What is more important is that after the giant tree recovers, the whole tree is covered with a green halo, protecting every leaf of it. With the protection of the halo, the damage of resentment to it is suddenly reduced a lot. With the giant tree's own recovery ability, there is no possibility of death again.
By the way, Meng Xiang also benefited from it. He was inside the branches and other places. In addition to his special relationship with the giant tree, he was regarded as part of the giant tree and protected him. This was definitely a great news for him.
Meng Xiang was in a special state and was unable to weaken and avoid the threat and harm of resentment to him, but this did not mean that he could not get help. For example, now, the threat and harm of resentment have been greatly reduced, which greatly weakened the impact of his mental defenses, making his life easier all of a sudden, and even made him feel strong confidence. If there was no accident, he would have successfully passed this time when facing the inner world. Moreover, due to an unaffected crisis, after he completed it, the improvement and stability of his mental state cultivation must be much greater than he expected.
However, Meng Xiang didn't think much soon. After all, he had not yet truly completed the test of facing the inner heart. His mood was harmful to him and he did not give up his observation of external situations. This made him see that in fact, the plants that were saved were not only the big tree where he was, but also the plants in a certain area centered on the blood altar were saved as long as they did not die completely.
However, even so, the plants in a large area centered on the Blood Altar have become very rare, and many places are bare, especially the grass near the Blood Altar is not growing. However, what made him most relieved was that the rescue was not only those plants with strong vitality but not dead, but also the areas centered on the Blood Altar covered by resentment.
