The black smoke was billowing, and Xu Dao stayed above the smoke, hiding his expression and constantly calming his mind.
After he adjusted his condition, he listened to the Taoist disciples around him chatting and learned some news about the trip to Montenegro.
I don't know how much time passed, but when the sky was slightly bright, Baigu Guan and his party came to a swampy land.
Xu Dao stood on the black smoke and looked down. He suddenly felt like a bright mirror dozens of miles wide covering the ground, reflecting the sunlight that had just jumped out of the sky, making it brilliant.
At this time, the rolling speed of the black smoke slowed down, descended, and landed on the surface of the Shuize Lake.
"Have we reached the right place?" Xu Dao looked around and saw small mountain peaks like stone pillars, one by one, only ten feet high, scattered all over the surroundings, quite like the landscape of Guilin, but there were no nearby ones.
Huge mountains.
But it is true that the White Bone Temple group did not fly anymore, but moved forward slowly against the water, like a boat.
Even the five evil Taoist priests restrained their momentum and looked like they did not dare to make any mistakes.
The other Taoist disciples were also aware of the situation, and they all had the same doubts as Xu Dao, "Is it possible that we have arrived somewhere?"
“But where is Montenegro?”…
There was a murmur in the black smoke, and many people didn't understand why, but the ink-striped leader didn't make a sound to explain.
After a while, the number of small peaks scattered around decreased, and the Baigu Guan group seemed to have arrived at the center of Shuize Lake.
There is a tall tree growing in the middle of the lake. It is lush and has dense branches and leaves, like a locust tree.
This tree stands alone on the water surface, dozens of feet high and several feet wide. Its root system is twisted and intertwined, forming an island of its own.
At this time, there was already a group of people near the big locust tree, dressed in strange clothes, and there were scattered people standing on the water. Only when the White Bone Temple and the group were exposed from a distance, many people looked at them.
Xu Dao was mixed in the crowd, looking at the distant scene, and thought to himself: "It seems that we have really arrived at the right place."
Mo Wen among the crowd saw the huge locust tree and nodded, confirming Xu Dao's guess.
When the White Bones Viewer approached the giant locust tree, the first group of people who arrived were also wearing Taoist robes, but they were all white robes, and they also wore high hats on their heads. Their faces were paler than those of the White Bones Viewers, many of them.
People even have blush on their cheeks.
At this time, the knowledgeable Taoist disciples saw this group of people and secretly shouted: "It's Yaksha Gate!"
Xu Dao raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the name.
The Yaksha Sect, together with the White Bone Temple and the Shezhao Tribe, are the three major forces in the southwest of the Wu Kingdom. Among them, they also practice Taoism and are specialized in ghost ways. They are good at extracting, refining souls, and controlling ghosts.
Xu Dao thought about it and thought to himself: "Yaksha Gate and White Bone Temple have arrived. Could it be that the Shezhao tribe will also come?"
Sure enough, not long after the White Bone Guan group arrived, there was a swarm of insects flying in the sky, low on the water, and a strange boat like a long worm was pulled by the flying insects and slowly came to the edge of the big locust tree.
Looking at their appearance, they are clearly the Shezhao tribe who are good at controlling snakes, insects and poisonous creatures.
As soon as the Shezhao tribe arrived, a swarm of buzzing and flying insects gathered together, and a human face appeared on it, with eyes, ears, and a nose. When it opened its mouth, the sound of insect wings rubbing against each other came out: "You guys are here early!"
When Mr. Shi from the White Bone Temple heard this, he cupped his hands at the other party and said with a dry smile: "It's not too early or too late. The Yellow Witch came just in time. Without further ado, let's start worshiping the mountain god right now."
"Exactly! Put these cubs into the Black Mountain as soon as possible, and we'll have a good time together!"
On the other side of the Yaksha Gate, a green-faced, fanged spirit six or seven feet tall opened his mouth to speak. His power was as powerful as the Taoist priests at White Bone Temple, or even worse.
In addition, there is a ghost made of gray mist on the other side of the Yaksha Gate. It has three twisted and painful faces, and there is also an unruly laughter coming from its mouth.
Xu Dao glanced briefly and knew that these people should also be in the foundation-building realm. They were powerful, but their appearance was also strange and inhuman.
"Good!" Together with the five Taoist priests from the White Bone Temple, they came forward and seemed to be discussing something. There were frequent disputes between each other, and there were constant roars and black smoke rising.
However, the three groups restrained each other and no direct conflict broke out.
At this time, Mo Wen also took the opportunity to briefly introduce the situation to the Fuyuan Taoist disciples beside him, "The Yaksha clan is good at using ghosts, and the Shezhao tribe is good at using Gu insects. If you meet two people, it is best to use a spell that can restrain them. The former is afraid of Yang.
, the latter is afraid of thunder and fire..."
Xu Dao also pricked up his ears and leaned forward to listen carefully. However, Mo Wen just said that there was news circulating in the temple. Xu Dao had collected these for a long time, but some Taoist disciples who were not prepared after listening
, and immediately expressed gratitude toward Mo Wen.
After briefly speaking, Mo Wen casually encouraged everyone. After a while, there were four demonic bodies and one corpse of the White Bone Temple Taoist priests, and the discussing White Bone Temple Taoist disciples fell silent again.
Mr. Shi came back. He looked at the Taoist disciples who were like quails in the black smoke. He smiled and said, "This mountain god's banquet will last for thirty days in total. You can take care of yourself."
After saying that, Mr. Shi waved his sleeves and shouted: "Everyone pack up and prepare to go to the Black Mountain!" The black smoke was scattered in all directions by him.
Xu Dao was slightly startled when he heard what Mr. Shi said.
According to what Mo Wen in the temple just said, the number of days the Mountain God Banquet is held will mean how many Immortal Fruits will appear in the Black Mountain. In other words, there will be thirty Immortal Fruits this time, ten more than usual.
The Taoist disciples around were buzzing for a while, and the Yaksha Gate and the Shezhao tribesmen in the distance were also agitated.
However, Xu Dao thought for a moment and calmed down again.
There are nearly 400 people coming to the White Bone Temple alone, plus the other two groups. The number of people in the Yaksha Clan is slightly smaller, but the number of people in the Shezhao tribe is much larger than that in the White Bone Temple. Plus there are scattered people on the water.
, there are at least two thousand people who entered the Black Mountain.
Two thousand people divided up thirty Immortal Fruits. Even though the number was doubled this time, the competition was still very difficult.
Xu Dao thought about the risks of the trip to Black Mountain that he had learned about, and said secretly: "Although the Immortal Ascension Fruit is good, but there are so many people, the White Bone Temple alone has No. 20 in the late stage of Qi Refining, plus the hard work in the early and middle stages,
It’s better to save your life first!”
"Go and have a rest! Go and have a rest!" Suddenly, not long after Mr. Shi spoke, he shouted again.
Whoosh! In an instant, the black smoke carrying the Taoist disciples was billowing and spread out in all directions, causing the Taoist disciples standing on top to suddenly disappear.
Immediately someone shouted: "There are no mountains here! Where is the Black Mountain?"
"Jie Jie Jie!" After hearing this, someone just laughed and said: "Let's see where you stand!"
Everyone lowered their heads after hearing the words, and suddenly found the figure of a large locust tree reflected on the lake. The shadow was dark and undulating, not like the shape of a tree, but more like a mountain range.
The shadow reflected in the lake suddenly enlarged, wrapping everyone in it in an instant.
Poof! Someone immediately fell into the lake and disappeared on the water in the blink of an eye. Xu Dao was also shocked when he saw this, and thought in his mind: "Is this Black Mountain?"
The situation at the scene suddenly changed. When Xu Dao was about to fall into the water, he quickly looked up at the big locust tree.
He suddenly discovered that the large locust tree, which was originally lush and leafy, suddenly turned pale, with skeletons all over its body, and will-o'-the-wisps wrapped around its branches and leaves. The so-called leaves were actually hanging corpses.
