Braving the violent storm, the three of them stepped on driftwood and scraped the roof at other times. Without exquisite body skills, the journey was indeed a bit difficult.
"Don't worry, you will know when we get there."
A Niu stood firm in the wind and rain. When the voice came, it was a little blurred by the strong wind, so that the two of them did not notice the emotionless coldness in the words.
Daqiang and Dachen were a little helpless, but after all, they had followed each other out. Since there was no way to turn back, they could only continue to move forward with their "friends".
After walking for a long time, Na A Niu and them finally stopped in front of a big tree with several people hugging each other.
"Is this here? What exactly do you want to show us?"
The two of them were already panting from exhaustion. Even in the middle of Qi training, after working overtime for three consecutive days at "Zero Zero Seven", they still didn't have much energy left. In addition, running all the way, they were very tired.
However, the location of this big tree is quite good. It seems that because of the relatively high altitude, the surrounding area is not flooded by standing water. The down-to-earth feeling makes them feel much more comfortable.
A Niu stretched out his hand and patted the big tree, and the tree immediately split open, forming a tree hole that could be entered and exited by one person.
"Come on, come in first, and you will know when you come in."
This Aniu gave such an answer again.
After several inquiries, Aniu refused to give a positive response, and the two finally discovered something strange.
Combined with the fact that the other person had not returned for two days and the unfamiliarity between his words and deeds, the two of them looked at each other and took a step back.
"A Niu! Are you..."
Bang! Bang!
However, what they discovered was too late!
At some point, a black figure flashed behind them. After two muffled sounds, Daqiang and Dachen rolled their eyes and lost consciousness.
The black shadow stepped forward and opened their right hands. Sure enough, in their palms, they had already grasped the sky-leaping thunder distributed by the sect, ready to activate at any time.
Heiying skillfully took off the leaping sky thunder and put it into his arms. At this time, A Niu also came over.
"Two junior brothers, if you do good things as senior brothers, how could I forget you? Don't worry, you will become inner disciples soon."
He and the black shadow dragged the two people into the tree hole, and then the tree hole closed, and there was nothing strange about it on the surface.
...
After a while, the water not far away suddenly surged slightly, and a head wearing a blue-grey mask emerged from the water.
"You want to get rid of me just by throwing away your mask. This is too disrespectful to me."
As early as after the first person disappeared, Jiang Li had forced the two of them to be planted with "host seeds" by him. As long as there is no special shielding barrier like the burial coffin, it is generally difficult to escape from his tracking.
Jiang Li stepped forward step by step and escaped from the stagnant water. In order not to be discovered by them, Jiang Li was not afraid of flooding, but he dived all the way under the water.
"What's going on with this tree? What kind of wood-based method is it?"
Jiang Li patted the tree, but didn't find any flaws. He had a wood attribute spiritual root, and even he couldn't find the entrance. The person who arranged it really had some tricks.
However, there is no need for him to take care of this kind of thing. Once the specific location is determined, all he has to do is report a message and ask for help.
Raising his wrist and shaking it toward the sky, Jiang Li was about to launch a thunderbolt.
A dazzling red light bloomed in the palm of his hand, and then the next moment the red light rushed straight to the sky. In the dark and stormy night, after drawing an eye-catching red line, it suddenly exploded into a ball of light that could illuminate the surrounding areas.
.
With that brightness, even a flying boat floating far outside the city would be able to clearly see it.
Moreover, the red lines and bright spots, based on some unknown principle and technology, persisted for a long time even in the storm, becoming the most conspicuous road sign.
Jiang Li, on the other hand, was a little surprised and looked around under the light of the ball of light.
He had deliberately slowed down just now, but no one came out to stop him?
"Junior brother, are you looking for me?"
In the big tree, the tree hole opened again, and the black figure just now walked out unhurriedly.
Under the illumination of the light ball in the sky, Jiang Li finally saw the other person's face clearly.
"Oh? Is Senior Brother Guo An here to relax?"
The person who came out of the tree hole was none other than the so-called outer sect senior brother Guo An!
puff!
The two of them were talking, and their hands were not slow at all. Jiang Li's claws dug out the heart and went towards the other's chest.
However, it was still a beat later. Just as the claws with black nails touched the other party's clothes, a gold needle more than two feet long had already pierced his body.
His heart claws immediately lost their threat.
This golden needle magical weapon had a magical power. Jiang Li's body instantly slowed down, and his attack movements seemed to be slowed down ten times. Guo An easily dodged it.
Puff!
The slow movements were unable to effectively dodge and counterattack. Two more golden needles were driven into the body. The spiritual power on the three golden needles formed a special shackles. Now "Jiang Li" was completely unable to move.
"Senior Brother Guo An...or a certain senior fellow from the inner sect, it seems you don't plan to kill me now?"
Jiang Li, whose body was sealed by golden needles, was not idle and was still talking to the other party calmly and friendly.
Guo An's movements paused and then returned to normal. Without answering his question, he dragged "Jiang Li"'s body towards the tree hole.
"Senior brother is really indifferent. We are all brothers in the same discipline, so we can't fight each other with weapons, right?"
Then Guo An still didn't speak.
"Okay, okay, senior brother Guo An, if you let me go, how about I introduce to you how the red-haired elder accepts you as a registered disciple? The welfare benefits are great!"
"You don't even want to do this? Senior brother's appetite is too big, so how about I introduce you to a Taoist companion?"
"You don't want to do this? Then it seems that I am really doomed this time."
"Then, for the sake of me dying, answer me a question. Senior brother, why didn't you stop me from sending the signal just now? The elders of the sect are here, and you won't have a good ending, right?"
Jiang Li tried all kinds of nonsense, trying to distract the other party from paying attention to some of his little actions.
"Guo An" didn't know what he was thinking. He glanced at Jiang Li who was chattering away and actually spoke and replied.
"When you join us, what will happen even if the sect elders come?"
By the time he finished speaking, he had already pulled Jiang Li into the tree hole.
Jiang Li was surprised by the confidence in his words.
Logically speaking, although the methods of soul control and body seizing and rebirth are not full of flaws, they are difficult to conceal as long as they are carefully examined.
Even Jiang Li, a person who traveled through time, did not dare to have his soul checked.
Are their methods really so outrageous that not even the sect can discover them?
After entering the tree hole, there is another long and narrow passage ahead, and then it suddenly becomes clear.
Under the illumination of a ball of magic light, there were dozens of people lying or standing in this small underground space.
"Yu Banxia!..and..."
At a glance, Jiang Li saw Yu Banxia lying motionless on one side, and ten inner sect rebels in white disciple uniforms lying next to him!
However, for the past few days, they, who had been feared like tigers by the outer disciples, were now lying on the ground with their chests heaving and limp, and they were dying!
And their hair... all turned white!
Not only them, but there are also more than twenty outer sect disciples who have been confirmed missing. They are also lying on the ground with their hair completely white, and they look like their whole bodies have been hollowed out and they are lying on the ground waiting to die.
Jiang Li thought of the white-haired scale monster he met on his journey to seek immortality, and the big fish whose body immediately began to become limp and smelly after its seeds were taken out.
I already roughly understood something in my heart.
It seems that Elder Duan Shuang and Yu Banxia had already encountered something when they were in the Yinnan Kingdom, and they had already been parasitized by spiritual root seeds.
This led to a change in their personality consciousness, until they suddenly defected due to unknown reasons when they returned to the sect.
Even if it can parasitize and control mortals!
That thing! Even monks...even monks in the elixir formation stage can control it!
It’s simply appalling!
Jiang Li couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he thought that he had put the spiritual root seed in front of his nose and smelled it, almost putting it into his mouth.
Taking a deep breath and forcing himself to calm down, he looked around again and carefully observed the environment, but did not find the elder Duan Shuang who was in the elixir formation stage.
It seems that the body in the Dan Formation stage is indeed different, and is not easily discarded like the body in the Qi Training and Foundation Establishment stages.
The controlled Elder Duan Shuang should have acted separately from them.
On the other side, there were ten people standing, all of whom Jiang Li had met as outer disciples before. Some of them had been confirmed missing long ago, and some were unknown to him.
It may be that he has been disguising himself, or he may have been caught just now.
For unknown reasons, in just three days, these eleven people had changed their bodies at least two or three times.
And looking at their current appearance, it's obvious that they plan to change their bodies again.
The targets were naturally the three of them who had just been captured in the underground space.
Da Qiang and Da Chen were placed on the ground, and their mouths were violently opened. Two people knelt down directly on top of them, with their mouths wide open as if they were retching.
Jiang Li noticed that the hair of the two people started to turn white rapidly from the ends of the hair, and at the same time, their throats rolled, and something was about to be vomited out of their stomachs.
"Thunder has been sent out, hurry up!"
"knew."
That "Guo An" threw Jiang Li to the ground, and a female disciple who was in the middle stage of Qi training that he had seen before stepped forward and directly pressed him down.
But at this moment.
Puff puff!
Next to them, A Niu, Da Qiang and Da Chen spat out a mouthful of old blood at the same time, as if they had been hit hard at the same time, and their expressions instantly changed to the extreme.
"You see, your methods are actually not that clever. At least your memory reception is not complete enough."
But it was Jiang Li who directly inspired the contract and put the three people on the verge of death.
If they knew about this contract, they would definitely not dare to choose these three bodies to replace.
The two spiritual root parasites pressing on Da Qiang and Da Chen had black hair that was completely white, and the spiritual root seeds had already reached their mouths. However, they had no choice but to stop and neither swallowed nor vomited!
"you wanna die!"
"Guo An" stepped forward, grabbed the mask on "Jiang Li's" face, and violently lifted it off.
However, what appeared in their eyes was a rotting and blackened zombie face!
It turns out that the person who wore a wooden mask and appeared in front of everyone as Jiang Li was always Heizong!
Sizzssssssssss!
"It's not over yet, everyone, I still have a big gift to give you!"
