In an instant, there was light that engulfed the old man Huangyan.
At the same time, Lu Zhong could clearly feel that this person's originally chaotic aura was recovering at an incredible speed.
"The earth not only carries the common people, but also seems to benefit all things..."
The old man Huangyan in front of him is indeed worthy of being in the middle stage of integration. In addition to the rock magic creations he has shown before, he also possesses the ability to absorb the power of earth veins to heal injuries.
After a while, the old man Huangyan came out from the rocks.
Now his complexion is obviously much better than before, and his breath has become more stable, as if the previous injury did not exist.
However, based on the results of Lu Zhong's review of the scene.
This person only suppressed the injury temporarily.
Under such circumstances, it's okay to deal with ordinary troubles. If you encounter a difficult opponent, the old injury will recur within three or five rounds.
"Thank you two fellow Taoists for protecting the Dharma!"
The old man Huang Yan came over and thanked the two of them.
"It's just a little effort."
Lu Zhong waved his hand and didn't care.
The same goes for Cheng Jian on the side.
However, although Lu and Zhong did not ask for anything, old man Huang Yan took the matter to heart. After all, there is never a free lunch in this world.
As a mid-stage integration monk, he understands this very well.
"Sigh, I don't know how much price I have to pay to repay this cause and effect."
On the surface, the old man Huang Yan seemed to be normal, but in fact he sighed in his heart. Then he took out his tracking disk and looked at the light spots on it, his expression changed.
Only four light spots?
"Could it be that something happened to someone?"
The old man Huang Yan looked puzzled and showed the tracing disk in his hand.
Seeing this, Lu and Zhong also hurriedly offered their own dharma dishes.
one two three four!
The tracing disks in everyone's hands have the same number of light spots.
For a moment, the expressions of the three of them became solemn.
"It seems something happened to someone!"
"Let's go and meet the remaining fellow Taoist!"
Lu Zhong said this, and before the other two people could respond, he turned into a rainbow light and soared into the sky. He immediately increased his speed to the extreme and flew towards the location of the light spot on the west side.
Seeing this, Cheng Jian and the old man Huang Yan looked at each other and followed suit.
...
Lu Zhong and the others flew thousands of miles away in one breath, and soon approached the fourth light spot.
But it is a large rift valley, which is extremely difficult to find in the dense forest.
The rift valley is filled with poisonous clouds, but there are many traces of fighting at the entrance, and the traces extend deeper, indicating that someone has entered this place. Standing at the mouth of the valley, Lu Zhong tried to detect his consciousness, but unexpectedly these poisonous clouds
It is so powerful that it can even melt the consciousness of a monk. Several attempts in succession ended in failure.
Not only that, their arrival also disturbed the monsters in the valley.
Although these monsters vary in size, they all obviously come from the same ethnic group. They look like a fusion of dragonflies, scorpions, and the ancient ferocious beasts that have been extinct for a long time - the gold-breaking insects.
Different from the description in the classics, these monsters that look like gold-breaking insects are not only more than ten times different in size, but the largest one is only more than ten feet. The whole body is covered with colorful insect shells, and with the addition of that
At first glance, you can tell that the extremely poisonous tail needle does not look like the ferocious beast that specializes in breaking magic weapons.
"Be careful, maybe it has changed after living here for a long time."
Lu Zhong reminded casually at this time.
The next moment, countless colorful lights suddenly rose, emitting from the scorpion tail of the mutated gold-breaking insect, shooting out like a storm, and the power was extremely frightening.
To be cautious, Lu Zhong chose to avoid it.
The old man Huang Yan on the side seemed to be very confident in his own strength. He raised his hand to pull up a huge earth-yellow wall, as if he wanted to use it to block the incoming colorful light rain.
Unexpectedly, the poisonous needle shot by the mutated gold-breaking insect was far more powerful than he expected.
In just an instant, the earth wall was penetrated.
The astonishing toxin spread at the same time, continuing to disintegrate the earthen wall.
No matter how old Huangyan tried to remedy the situation, it was still of no avail in the face of the continuous rain of light.
Within ten breaths, the defense was completely broken.
After witnessing this scene with his own eyes, Lu Zhongna still couldn't guess the reason.
I am afraid that the mutated gold-breaking insect has lived in a poisonous place for a long time. Not only has it not degraded its original ability, but it has also made the tail needle more poisonous.
The combination of the two results in the current situation.
"Now I finally understand why a fellow Taoist is trapped in the valley. With such a group of extremely powerful mutated gold-breaking insects, I am afraid that only Mahayana monks can forcefully fight them out."
Lu Zhong secretly thought of this in his heart, and his left hand, which was shining with lightning, had already pinched out the last magic formula.
In an instant, countless thunder and lightning emerged from the void.
Zixiao's thunder method never disappoints, a huge sea of thunder explodes in the swarm of insects, but any mutated gold-breaking insects that are too late to dodge will be blown to pieces in front of the thunder and lightning.
But seeing this scene, Lu Zhong didn't show any joy, but continued to retreat.
Not long after he retreated, a pouring rain of colorful light hit him.
"It's just a little bit close! What a risk!"
Lu Zhong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to use the real dragon to form a barrier and experience the tail needle of the mutated gold-breaking insect. Then he raised his hand and muttered something at the same time. He saw a burst of fire, and the temperature here began to rise rapidly.
Nine fire phoenixes roared out and flew straight towards the swarm of mutant insects in the distance.
Along the way, fire phoenixes were constantly being destroyed.
But in the end, a fire phoenix successfully broke through the interception of the insect swarm.
"Boom".
The scorching flames exploded, taking away dozens of mutated ferocious insects in an instant, and caused the insect swarm to be in chaos, so that the size of the light rain emitted was much smaller.
At the same time, Cheng Jian and the old man Huang Yan were also taking action.
The former slashed with thousands of feet of sword energy, destroying the incoming tail needles in pieces.
As for the old man Huang Yan, he was so angry that he kept summoning rock spears from the ground, which also poured down on the insects like a downpour.
With the three men joining forces to attack, the insect swarm quickly became chaotic.
After finally getting rid of them, except for Lu Zhong who had the true dragon barrier, the remaining two people all paid a heavy price. Either the toxins eroded into the body, or the old injuries almost recurred.
If not there were insect corpses on the ground that could make up for the losses.
I'm just afraid that these two people will lose their blood.
At this moment, the people trapped in the valley noticed the movement outside and did not know what they did. A big explosion was triggered, which instantly completely changed the landscape of the rift valley.
Amidst the waves of fire rising into the sky, a burning figure escaped.
It’s Guan Yuanzi!
At this moment, his state of embarrassment was no less than that of the old man Huang Yan before. Not only was his body robes in tatters, but his whole body was also covered with wounds corroded by the poison, and poisonous blood was constantly flowing.
After swallowing several bottles of pills, the injury was barely stabilized.
After doing this, Guan Yuanzi saw that it was Lu Zhong and the others. He felt relieved and reminded him: "I can't thank you enough for your kindness! However, we should leave quickly. The insect swarm in the valley has become a climate, and there is a vicious insect."
It is about to advance, and with the blessing of the insect swarm, its strength is no longer below the Mahayana stage, and it is impossible to provoke!"
It seems to be to confirm what Guan Yuanzi said.
Deep in the rift valley where the firelight had dissipated, a sky-holding figure slowly emerged. Its appearance was the same as that of a gold-breaking insect, but it was frighteningly large in size, and at the same time, its aura was as deep as the ocean.
A breath of peak seventh-level aura hit his face.
Just after the insect appeared, a similar aura appeared in the distance.
As if not to be outdone, he also tilted his breath out.
Seeing this scene, no one dared to stay.
Everyone used their own methods. Lu Zhong used his thunder escape and disappeared in a burst of thunder. He left this dangerous place one step ahead of the others.
...
A valley in the mountains.
The four of them, Lu Zhong, reunited here.
While adjusting his breath, Lu Zhong took out the tracking compass again, fired a few spells on it to stimulate it, and looked at the light spots on it, showing a puzzled expression.
"Five! Why did it become five light spots again?"
What's even more strange is that this fifth light spot is very close to the four people and is still getting closer.
After learning this situation, Guan Yuanzi and others looked at each other in shock.
"I'm afraid that the compass in the hand of fellow Taoist Baohua was affected just now, and it's only returned to normal now." Guan Yuanzi pondered for a while and expressed his guess.
In his opinion, the depths of this spiritual mountain range are full of secrets. Not only are there civilizations that have disappeared inexplicably, but there are also the remnants of the great powers' past battles. Even after millions of years have passed and a long period of time has washed them away, these powers are still there.
It is not surprising that it has not completely dissipated and affected the tracking compass.
only.
Although there was a relatively reasonable explanation, it still failed to make the four people lower their guard.
After a while, a rainbow light fell into the valley.
After the light dissipated, Baohua's figure emerged. Unlike Guan Yuanzi and others who were injured, Baohua could be said to be unscathed at this moment, just like Lu Zhong who was also unscathed.
"Just now...what happened over there, fellow Taoist?"
Guan Yuanzi did not try to hide it, but directly asked the questions in Lu Zhong and others' minds.
Baohua, as if he had expected this, raised his hand to create a screen of light, pointed at the content on it, and said with a wry smile: "Speaking of which, you don't believe it either. Just now, as soon as I passed through the Plain of Nirvana, a blind
I fell into a halo of light. After that, I almost got lost in a strange place."
"If it weren't for this talisman, I'd probably be lost in it forever."
She said, showing a golden talisman to everyone.
Lu Zhong saw the specific function of this talisman at just one glance. Although he didn't know its specific name, it must be a very high-level forbidden talisman.
"I see......"
After getting this answer, everyone's doubts were dispelled a lot.
Since everyone was in danger one after another, both their mana and spirit were exhausted, so at Guan Yuanzi's suggestion, everyone found a place in the valley and rested as before.
A temporary cave was built.
In a quiet room.
At this moment, Lu Zhong was in a very uneasy mood.
Just now when everyone was together, in order to get the truth, he had used the gray fog space to review the test with scenes, but he got a surprising answer.
Baohua, who seemed to be alive and just like a normal person, turned out to be a demon-like existence.
To be precise, she seems to be a certain kind of cat.
The state is between life and death.
It is not difficult to guess that the strange places that Baohua encountered before are most likely from the residual power of high-level monks. With a mere cultivation level in the integration stage, those who accidentally enter these strange and unpredictable places can kill Mahayana Du.
In the trap of tribulation, is there any reason to escape with just a true talisman?
As for Baohua’s fate.
"I'm afraid he died in that space, or... Baohua didn't leave at all!"
Lu Zhong speculated all the way and suddenly felt a little creepy.
The greatest fear comes from the unknown.
Facing those high-level monks, if they are really targeted by these people with malicious intentions and encounter strange and unpredictable methods, I am afraid that even if they are about to die, they will not know how.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhong didn't know how to decide for a moment.
"That's all, just use up some spiritual consciousness."
After reaching the integration stage, his spiritual consciousness has strengthened a lot, and the maximum time that can be used to deduce the future has already exceeded a hundred breaths, so it doesn't hurt to spend a little bit.
Soon, the answer came out.
There were three choices before Lu Zhong.
1. Maintain the status quo;
Second, clarify Baohua’s true identity;
Third, take advantage of the opportunity to make a sneak attack.
Each of these three options has its own pros and cons.
Maintaining the status quo is equivalent to planting time bombs around you. When the situation is unclear, no one knows what impact having such a being will have on the future.
But once the truth is revealed and Baohua knows her true state, she will scream, twist into a ball of black smoke, and disappear in an instant as if being observed.
Whether this is life or death, there is no way of knowing.
As for the third option, compared with the previous two, it seems much more attractive.
Cut off the roots!
However, Lu Zhong knew that if he really killed him, the person who killed him would be infected by that state and fall into a state of neither life nor death.
So judging from the results, letting Baohua disappear seems to be the best choice.
However, Lu Zhong could only feel wonder in his heart now.
"What a powerful method!"
It was not difficult for him to see that this method should be related to the law of time.
Moreover, it is by no means a quasi-law.
"I'm really curious, what happened at that time? The disaster of falling from the sky, the emergence of the Taoist Alliance, the current situation of the immortal world... I'm afraid I will have to wait until I ascend to become an immortal.
We'll know when we have the chance." Lu Zhong murmured and decided not to think too much about it until his condition was completely restored.
Time passes day by day.
In the blink of an eye, a jiazi passed by.
After such a period of rest, everyone else has recovered well, but Baohua is the only one who is getting worse and worse. Her condition is almost visibly haggard, and she looks exhausted mentally and physically.
This point is not limited to Lu Zhong.
Even Guan Yuanzi and the other three people, and even Baohua herself noticed it.
"I...what's wrong with me?"
Baohua raised her left hand tremblingly, only to find that it was slowly fading.
As the organizer, Guan Yuanzi was silent for a while, and then said: "To be honest, I have never heard of this kind of situation, and I have never seen it! I'm sorry, I can't help you fellow Taoist."
"What? Even you!"
When Baohua saw everyone shaking their heads, she suddenly couldn't help but panic.
