That's why Xuanhuang decided that Su Wen's appearance was a conspiracy.
This is not a coincidence at all, but a trap.
The Earthly Branches on Su Wen's body are a bait.
That person may have guessed His location and deliberately laid such a trap.
After all, he was one of the beings that the Earthly Branches called the "supreme". Xuanhuang reacted immediately. The figure of the yellow-robed man deep in Su Wen's consciousness quickly dissipated and disappeared instantly.
However, as the shadow of a giant claw came from deep behind Su Wen, Xuanhuang's originally dissipated figure quickly condensed into shape, and was then scattered by the huge claw!
"snort……"
Xuanhuang let out a cry of pain, but after the sound stopped, there was no trace of him again.
"Click..."
Almost at the same time, Su Wen felt a slight cracking sound around him, as if something was broken.
The surrounding environment has returned to normal.
It's just that the torch in his hand fell somewhere in the corner, and the surroundings were dark. Only the faint light from the earthly branches illuminated Su Wen's surroundings.
"this……"
Su Wen was shocked again and quickly took out a torch from the treasure bag and lit it.
During the whole process, Su Wen found that the shadow creatures around him were completely motionless, as if they had forgotten that such a powerful figure as Su Wen was here.
Su Wen naturally knew that this was because Xuanhuang had frightened the shadow creatures.
"Earthly Branches...what happened?"
But how the mysterious phantom managed to repel Xuanhuang, Su Wen had no idea.
He was only sure of one thing: the carving knife did not cause any real damage to Xuanhuang. Even when Xuanhuang's pain dissipated, the carving knife was still far away from Xuanhuang.
But similarly, because his extraordinary power was too weak, he was unable to see the giant claw that appeared out of thin air.
"The great...master of the starry sky just gave Xuanhuang a trivial lesson."
Earthly Branch replied humbly.
"really……"
Su Wen realized that his previous guess was correct. That mysterious existence did indeed hide some kind of power in him...even a power specifically designed to deal with Xuanhuang!
"How...how did he know that I would meet Xuanhuang?" Su Wen also felt cold in his heart.
But after thinking about it carefully, Su Wen believed that it was unlikely that the mysterious shadow was plotting against him. What it plotted was more about the earthly branches.
After all, the Earthly Branches are taboo objects... and they are also loved by the taboo powers.
As long as the mysterious shadow masters this point, and the Earthly Branches like to be wild all day long, it is an inevitable result that they will encounter some incredible power.
Su Wen smiled bitterly. The Earthly Branches were on him. When mysterious beings plotted against the Earthly Branches, they were actually not much different from plotting against him.
"Dad...should we leave or continue exploring the cracks in the ground?!"
After escaping death, the Earthly Branches seemed to be branching out again, and he felt that he could do it. Without waiting for Su Wen to make a decision, he said: "I think it's better for us to continue exploring. After all, Xuanhuang has run away, and the shadow creatures have also gone into hibernation for the time being.
It’s much safer than before.”
"……good."
Su Wen pressed his chest and waited for his heartbeat to calm down. At the same time, he carefully considered Earthly Branch's statement and then decisively supported it.
He was just frightened by Xuanhuang, but Ren Zhengan was probably caught by Xuanhuang, and his life or death was uncertain at the moment. If he hesitated a little, he might have missed the chance to rescue Ren Zhengan.
"How far away can you feel now?"
Su Wen asked.
Earthly Branches directly projected all the areas within its field of vision into Su Wen's consciousness.
"very good……"
Su Wen breathed a sigh of relief. The area that the Earthly Branches can project has expanded nearly ten times compared to before. With this information, the next road will be much easier.
…
"You can't do this to me! In the last era, I even treated you to dinner! Do you remember the roasted flame sacred Tyrannosaurus Rex?!" Deep in the cracks in the ground, a tattered yellow robe swept through the mud.
passage, making a cry for mercy.
But the figure chasing behind him was even more fierce. Xuanhuang's tone suddenly became stiff, half pleading, half threatening: "I only have one clone left in this damn place. If you eat it..."
I may fall from my position as a pillar, and by then, a new war will inevitably occur, and you don’t want to trigger a new era war now, do you?!”
"Meow!"
The terrifying existence chasing Xuanhuang let out a deep roar.
Although there was only a short cry, Xuanhuang knew the meaning clearly.
"Since you want to eat my food, why shouldn't I eat you?"
"I am the pillar, I am the old god, what's wrong with eating something forbidden?"
Xuanhuang was furious. A being like him couldn't even look down on ordinary food! If you don't eat food that contains extraordinary power, what should you eat?
"...Ouch!"
You only ration it to me as food!
The stern gaze behind him stung Xuanhuang's heart, making him feel that his dignity had dropped to the ground. For several moments, he wanted to turn around and fight that arrogant guy!
But!
He really can't beat him. Even if the opponent comes, they are just clones, because each other's true bodies are hidden in the deepest part of the starry sky and will not move easily.
Even if he could move, Xuanhuang did not dare to move easily. After all, the person behind him wanted to devour him so as to complete the missing original rules, but he had planned it for several epochs.
"I'm willing to trade a forbidden object for safety!"
Xuanhuang began to negotiate terms.
He knows the person behind him, and if what he catches is not his true form, it can still be discussed in many cases.
This is not the first time that I have done this in exchange for a forbidden object. Although it does not work every time, most of the time I can get a chance to live.
As long as you can survive, it is easy to recover the losses. You only need to use the same method to rob other clones of other pillars that are weaker than him. If you rob a few more, you will not only recover your losses, but also make a surplus...especially
I was chased by the person behind me, and there is still a little breath left on my body, so the effect will be better...
"Ouch!"
Do you want to get rid of this forbidden item?
Walnut was angry.
In order to hunt Xuanhuang, it had planned for a long time. Even when Su Wen was pushed to Guixu by Ying Tianchang, it could not do without it being behind the scenes.
However, neither Wen Lingdian nor Cheng Zi realized that there was a more terrifying driving force behind this incident.
The moment Su Wen disappeared, no one except Taoyao noticed it, and Walnut quickly disappeared.
But Taoyao couldn't figure out where the walnuts had gone.
Su Wen didn't even know that from the moment he appeared in Guixu, there was a fat cat crouching next to him, but... let alone him and Dizhi, even Su Muzhe and Tao Gaoguin, the extraordinary people of Sequence Six
No one can feel its breath.
Dagon, Ghost Island and Nan Gezi, who was once Sequence Six, also knew nothing about walnuts.
Therefore, Walnut is certain that the Xuanhuang clone living here cannot be aware of its existence.
So in the cracks in the ground, Xuanhuang was finally attracted by the breath of the earthly branches.
But Earthly Branch didn't know that it was the walnut that stimulated its scent and made it richer, which quickly alerted Xuanhuang and attracted him.
Then he gave Xuanhuang a sap, and with one blow from the giant claw, half of Xuanhuang's clone's life was taken away.
After being injured, Xuanhuang was naturally no match for Walnut, so he staged a game of "cat and mouse".
"Two pieces!" Xuanhuang decisively increased the price.
After all, Walnut just dislikes the fact that the money he gave to buy his life is too little. The price is easy to negotiate! He travels across the sea of stars and has been groping in Gui Ruins for many years. He has collected countless extraordinary objects and accumulated a lot of taboo objects, which can save money and eliminate disasters.
It’s worth throwing away half of your net worth!
"Don't refuse yet, these two taboo items are extraordinary!"
Xuanhuang quickly said: "No one has seen their power except me, and it is impossible to know their containment conditions..."
In order to show his sincerity, Xuanhuang decisively conveyed the information about the two taboo objects to Walnut in the form of ideology.
But in the process, Walnut unnaturally tore off a thread of Xuanhuang's consciousness, causing Xuanhuang to cry out in pain.
"Ouch!"
not enough!
Walnut didn't even finish reading the information sent by Xuanhuang before he flatly refused.
"Aha...I have one more thing..."
This time, Xuanhuang's heart ached. The first two taboo objects were really just to waste money and ward off disasters, but this one was his treasure, and it ranked among the collections he had collected over the long years.
The kind before.
After passing on the secret of the forbidden object, Xuanhuang finally felt that the hostility behind him was lessened, but soon he discovered that Walnut's murderous intent seemed to be even stronger.
"Meow..."
If I eat you, won’t everything on you become mine?
Walnut seems to be preparing to kill the goose that lays the goose that lays the egg.
"That's different... fishing from the entire lake and fishing from the lake sustainably... are two different things!"
Xuanhuang never thought that one day he would be so humble in order to survive, that he could even utter the words "sustainably fish from the lake".
This is undisputedly positioning oneself in an absolute weak position, allowing the other party to take whatever they want and trim their hair at will.
"Ouch..."
Walnut finally made a satisfied sound.
If you can catch Xuanhuang this time, there will be a next time.
I hope that by then, Xuanhuang’s accumulated wealth will be even richer.
Walnut stopped, Xuanhuang ran for a while, and finally stopped, then sighed heavily.
Soon after, in the deep, dark cracks in the ground, a fat cat raised its feet happily, with a big bag on its back.
There was also a lost yellow robe, going in the opposite direction to the fat cat. The empty yellow robe seemed to become more tattered and empty.
"It's strange... there are actually forked roads, and both of them have the aura left by Old Ren... What on earth did Old Ren do here?"
Su Wen was confused.
Ren Zheng'an had no connection with the word "An Fen", and he wandered in even the cracks in the ground. At this time, Su Wen even thought that his disappearance might have nothing to do with Xuan Huang.
It was done by Ren Zhengan himself.
"Eh...core, walnut?!"
Su Wen suddenly saw something like a "baggage" walking towards him from a fork in the road. When he took a closer look, Su Wen saw a scene he couldn't believe.
