Chapter 31: Deep in the mountains, capture the Nine Dragon Vine
The little Taoist priest saw that Lu Yu finally killed the cunning one, and he breathed a sigh of relief. When he stretched out his right hand, the glow of the Liuhuo Golden Bell converged, and slowly shrank to the size of a palm, returning to its original appearance. Then it fell into the hands of the little Taoist priest.
.
The little Taoist priest put it away, floated down from the tree, and came to Lu Yu's side. Seeing Lu Yu's sluggish look, with half his life lost, he breathed out softly and made a tut-tut sound.
"How is it? How do you feel?" the little Taoist priest asked with a serious face, but there was clearly a hint of joking in his eyes.
Lu Yu glanced at him, not paying attention to his tone, and frowned slightly. He said: "That cunning one is really not very powerful in terms of combat power alone. However, if you hadn't limited its speed, I might not be its opponent.
.Moreover, there will always be some lag in the use and transition of moves. In the final analysis, the level is still too low."
"Indeed." The little Taoist priest nodded. "Your biggest problem now is that your fighting awareness is not strong enough, the connection between the moves is not smooth enough, and there is a lack of running-in.
You know, you are different from me. When I perform Taoist magic, it has little effect on me regardless of the distance. And the farther the distance, the safer I am because I have enough time to respond. But you use a sword, so you have to fight in close combat.
, the time used to react and then defend or counterattack is too short.
So when you use this move in a fight, you must be able to instinctively and subconsciously use the most suitable next move. It is not the strongest, but the most suitable and effective next move. And this must go through
Only the tempering of blood and fire will do!"
Lu Yu nodded slowly, looking thoughtful.
"How is the injury?" the little Taoist priest suddenly said. As he spoke, he walked to Qiao's body and dug out his inner elixir. The inner elixir was the size of a baby's fist and exuded a bright luster.
"It's not serious," Lu Yu waved his hand, "It's just a bit exhausted. With the constant nourishment of Langfeng Lithium, plus taking the healing elixir, I can recover quickly."
"That's okay." The little Taoist priest looked up to the sky.
The sky is burning red, the sun is about to set, the sunset is gorgeous and mottled, and the wind and smoke are rolling. There is a kind of sunset that is infinitely beautiful, and the sadness turns back to white, and there is no one leaning against the door in the deep courtyard. There is also a kind of lonely smoke in the desert, and the twilight is vast.
, the meaning of a golden horse and an iron horse.
"It's getting late, so let's walk here today." The little Taoist priest turned around and said, "You need to recover from your injuries first, and you will have to speed up tomorrow. I wonder where the men and horses of those sectarian forces are now?"
"Furthermore, since there is a cunning person from the Taiyi Realm here, it means that we have entered the inner area of the Wulong Mountains. Our next opponent will become the Taiyi Realm. So, you have to adapt quickly."
"Do not worry!"
"Hurry up and heal your wounds, and stay vigilant at all times. I'll be on guard duty tonight." The little Taoist priest turned around and jumped to the tree.
Lu Yu agreed and walked slowly to the foot of the tree. He put his hands on his legs, assumed a posture with five hearts pointing to the sky, and sat cross-legged quietly. The power of the elixir in his body was released, flowing through the meridians in Lu Yu's body, filling his body with blood.
His limbs were covered with bones. In the Dantian, Langfeng Naphtha released the pure energy of life, like spring breeze turning into rain, nourishing and repairing Lu Yu's injuries.
The next day, in the early morning, the sky was slightly bright, and the sky was white with fish belly. There were faint cicadas chirping all around, and the sound of katydids flapping their wings came into my ears. In the distant mountains and forests, there were birds and animals chirping, one after another, responding to each other.
.
Lu Yu opened his eyes and exhaled a deep breath. He stood up and stretched his body. After a night of training, the injuries on his body had basically recovered.
The little Taoist priest quietly fell down from the tree and glanced at Lu Yu. He nodded lightly and said nothing.
"Let's go."
…
From the gushing red sun to the lingering light of the west wind, and then to the still dark night. As the sun and moon rotated, the two men were bleeding and injured, facing endless difficulties and never-ending dangers, all the way to the depths.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed, and the weather was getting colder. The two of them had reached the depths of the Wulong Mountains.
This is a primitive wild world!
In the vast forest, there are old trees with dead vines and towering ancient trees. They are tens of feet, a hundred feet, or even hundreds of feet high. The branches are stretched out like a tent, like a vast sea of blue clouds, grabbing the clouds and grabbing rocks, covering the sky.
day.
There were clouds and mist among the trees, and the vines were circling, making it look a little dim. Through the dense gaps in the forest, the sunlight illuminated mottled and broken shadows. The two of them walked in the forest, like two tiny ants.
Deep in the mountains, there is nourishment from flowing cloud fluids above, and nourishment from ground-source fermented wine below. Lingbaozhicao, rare and rare things, are countless.
The air of heaven and earth is thick and thick like mist, colorful and as colorful as a rainbow. Ants the size of heads, spiders the size of millstones, dragons more than ten feet long, and eagles with wingspans more than ten feet appear and fly in the forest.
If most of the powerful beasts and monsters in the mountain forest had not gone to the core area of the mountain for unknown reasons, and if the little Taoist priest had not been fast enough, Lu and Yu would have died long ago. But even so, the two of them were still covered in blood.
Injured and exhausted.
At this moment, the two of them were fighting with three monsters. The cause was a Nine Dragon Vine.
Kowloon Vine, also known as Kowloon Root.
The whole body is blood red, the roots are spreading, and it looks like a ginseng, but it is vaguely dragon-shaped. It has nine leaves, and the whole body is dark red, as if it is made of coagulated blood. The leaves of the vine are covered with strange dragon patterns. It is said that the Nine Dragon Vine is made of
It is nourished and bred by dragon blood, and usually grows at the entrance of the python's cave. It needs to be nourished by the meager dragon energy of the python at all times to survive and grow.
The plant they found grew at the entrance of an iron-scaled dragon's cave and had survived for at least five hundred years. According to the little Taoist priest's guess, the realm of the iron-scaled dragon should be the perfect state of Taiyi.
However, because of the summons of the mysterious existence deep in the core of the mountain range, the iron-scaled dragon left here, and even the precious Nine Dragon Vine was left alone.
It is precisely because of this that some people and monsters who coveted the Nine Dragon Vine were attracted, namely Lu Yu and the little Taoist priest, as well as two dragon snakes and a cross-armed white ape.
The three-headed beasts, or rather the three-headed monsters, were all in the Taiyi Realm and at the same level as the little Taoist priests. Because of this, the two of them dared to take action. If they had been stronger, they would have escaped long ago.
Lu Yu held a long sword and fought a green dragon snake alone. The other Mangshan dragon snake and the cross-armed white ape were stopped by the little Taoist priest.
The green dragon snake, to be precise, should be the green dragon snake. It is in a similar situation to the other Mangshan snake. At this moment, it is in the stage of evolution from snake to dragon. And this is also the reason why they want to get the Nine Dragon Vine.
If the green snake can swallow this Nine Dragon Vine, then it will definitely transform into a spirit, a carp into a dragon, and become a green snake. As a result, its blood will evolve, its strength will greatly increase, and it will have the opportunity to break through to a higher realm in the future. So it
You will definitely risk your life to snatch it.
For Lu Yu, although the effect of Nine Dragon Vine on him is not as great as that on the Green Snake, it is still a rare and rare elixir. If he can obtain it and refine it, the strength of its flesh shell will increase.
It is comparable to a python. Although it is not invulnerable, it is similar. At a critical moment, you may be able to save your life.
Therefore, even Lu Yu coveted it.
…
Lu Yu stepped on the "idle step", the white light on the long sword was bright, and the sword energy surged, exuding a fierce aura. He quickly approached the green snake. The nearly ten feet long body of the green snake was entangled, and Lu Yu was entangled.
locking.
The snake's head is raised, the snake is hesitating, saliva is dripping, and its teeth are as sharp as daggers. Its scales are as green as iron, reflecting the cold light. Its toes and claws are raised as sharp as a cone, and there is a single horn on the top of its head, which blooms like a sword piercing the air.
The light, but slightly dim, is the gestating dragon horn.
Lu Yu jumped up and stood in mid-air, looking at the green snake at eye level. The long sword in his hand danced and clanked.
The sky and the earth were dark, and the autumn wind was rustling. Lu Yu held the sword with both hands, his arms trembling, and danced out a sword flower. The fallen leaves in the sky were like sharp blades, flying and circling, gathering on top of Lu Yu's head, turning into a mottled broad sword three feet tall.
, Brilliant Binghuan, like the bright sun, the sword light soaring to the sky!
The sword energy was swirling, and the black clouds were overwhelming. Compared with before, there was more of a murderous aura like an iron horse.
"Eight methods of ancient swords! Flying swords cut through the wind and clouds, and the snow is so bright and cold."
Lu Yu shouted loudly, raised the sword above his head, and struck down with all his strength!
And the brilliant broad sword made of fallen leaves moved accordingly, slashing straight at the green snake!
The green snake neighed, and the scales on its body flickered, as desolate as cast iron. A series of mysterious and inexplicable lines lit up from the snake scales. The green snake flicked its tail, and there was a "pop" sound, like a cold streak.
Lightning flashed and struck the fallen leaf sword.
Zheng!
There was a roar that penetrated the clouds and cracked the stone! The sound was as loud as a thunderbolt! Lu Yu's sword seemed to have struck the steel.
Lu Yu's body swayed and fell from the air, almost falling to the ground. His face turned pale, his ears stung, he staggered, and retreated more than a foot away.
The sound wave spread in all directions like a twisted transparent halo, and the surrounding trees of nearly ten feet were swept away, exploded into pieces, and turned into piles of powder, flying all over the sky.
The Fallen Leaf Broadsword trembled non-stop, and exploded with a 'bang' sound! The Green Snake let out a long and shrill cry, the scales on its tail were blown to pieces, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. At the explosion site, a giant that was as tall as two people could be seen.
The pit appeared suddenly, countless mud and rocks splashed down like rain, and the sound of rumbling was endless.
Seeing this, Lu Yu advanced instead of retreating. Against the powdery mud and rocks flying in the sky, the sword energy around him was sharp. He raised his right foot and stepped hard. The air flow under his feet exploded instantly, and Lu Yu rose into the sky like a sharp sword.
Starlight burst out from the 'Wangzhi' sword in the hand, as if it was connected to the sky, and the sound of wind and thunder shook! The long sword made a circular motion and slashed forward, with force through the center. The footsteps turned around, and the force was buckled and dragged down. The wrist vibrated, and it slashed three times in a row like lightning.
In an instant, the wind and clouds changed, sand and rocks flew, the wind rose again, and sword energy swept across the sky!
The Big Dipper Sword Technique, the third style, Lucun's succession of changes!
The body of the green snake quickly became entangled into a ball, the snake's head was raised, and a vast, majestic, and thick dragon roar suddenly sounded. The horn above the head shined brightly, like a spear, about to pierce the sky!
boom!
The sword light fell like thunder!
The roar of the explosion filled the clouds and resounded for nearly ten miles in radius! Countless leaves covered the sky like autumn rain and rustled down. At the explosion site, the storm raged crazily, and the force spread in all directions like waves in a hurricane, impacting
!
The energy surged and hit Lu Yu like a mountain. Lu Yu instantly spurted out a mouthful of blood. His body was like a stone rolled up by the storm, and he fell helplessly backward until his body hit a tree more than ten feet away.
There was a loud bang on the giant tree, and Lu Yu's body finally stopped.
The blood in his body surged, and Lu Yu spat out another mouthful of blood, his face suddenly turning pale!
On the other side, the light from the horn on the top of the green snake's head instantly disappeared, as if it had turned into a piece of scrap metal. The body was shrouded in the storm, crumbling. The sword energy was sharp and fierce, destroying the body of the green snake wantonly. The green snake
The scales all over the body were shattered in an instant, and countless scars of different sizes and depths appeared in an instant, and hot blood gushed out like spring water. The green snake let out a shrill scream and instantly succumbed!
As if time had stood still, one person and one monster calmed down strangely at the same time.
The calm was broken, and the green snake suddenly moved. The snake's body suddenly bounced up, and it arrived in an instant. The blood-stained claws of the green snake shone with a cold light, like a spear or a steel fork, with a bloody and fierce look.
He was so angry that he immediately grabbed Lu Yu.
Lu Yu took a deep breath, his whole body flashed with light, his toes connected in the air, his body flew back, and he stepped on ripples like water waves.
A powerful force surges forward!
Lu Yu swung his long sword, and sword shadows appeared in front of him. He held the sword with both hands, and the veins on his arms jumped. He suddenly lifted it up, and the long sword let out a harsh roar, leaving a dazzling light mark in the void.
In the dantian, Langfeng Shi's brain floated, and wisps of life energy wrapped around Lu Yu's body, and the green energy was dense; traces of death energy covered the sword, and the sword edge was instantly dyed with a layer of black, a sense of death and darkness.
Feelings are spreading!
Big Dipper Sword Technique, Fourth Form, Curved Chi Xuanwu Wanli Feng!
A brilliant sword light that was three feet long, the sword energy was surging, shining like the sun and stars, and with the sound of Xuanwu roar, it suddenly slashed at the green snake's claws.
Clang!
The sound of gold and iron clashing vibrated around. Lu Yu's body shook, he groaned, and flew backwards in an instant!
The green snake's claws were almost cut off by this sword, and blood spilled out! The claws were filled with black air, and the air of death was like maggots attached to the bones, eroding unscrupulously. The flesh and blood on the green snake's claws were rotting rapidly.
, and it was spreading to the body at a speed visible to the naked eye! The green snake roared angrily and rushed towards Lu Yu again!
Lu Yu's body retreated from the lightning and flint, as ethereal as a ghost, leaving only the afterimages disappearing into the dense forest. The green snake's eyes were red, as if it was about to bleed. It looked like crazy, and it roared hysterically, wreaking havoc among the trees.
!
"The thunder in the sky is like the sky, and the thunder in the sky is like the nine palaces. The decree of Taiyi means that there are no evils and no monsters."
Jade Purple Book Divine Light Talisman!
Lu Yu's figure suddenly appeared from among the branches and leaves. He shouted low and slapped his palm. In his palm, thunder and lightning surged like a romantic sea, and purple light shone like stars in the sky! A rune made of nine thunderbolts emerged from it.
The palm of his hand shot out, traveled through the void, and came to the front of the green snake!
When the green snake's claws were grasped, black water vapor surged between the claws, and the water turned into a five-foot-long black snake with ferocious scales. It circled between the claws of the green snake, and then jumped out instantly!
The Nine Thunder Rune came in an instant and hit the black snake. But strangely, at the moment of collision, the Nine Thunder Rune suddenly spread out and turned into thousands of tiny lightning bolts, which fell on the Green Snake.
.
Countless thunder lights enveloped the green snake. The moment the thunder light fell, it exploded, and deafening roars resounded throughout the world!
Kill it while it's sick!
Lu Yu's body swayed, turning into a streak of light, and he moved forward quickly. The long sword in his hand danced, and he suddenly raised it above his head. The sword energy surged like a deep and sea. The stars filled the sky, like small suns, bright and blazing!
The sword energy and starlight enveloped Lu Yu and transformed into a blazing white dragon, exuding a monstrous and ferocious aura. It bared its teeth and danced its claws, and the dragon's roar shook the sky, and it rushed towards the green snake!
The Big Dipper Sword Technique, the fifth style, ride on the Five Yellows to destroy the Tianhe River!
The blazing white dragon, as brilliant as the Milky Way, rushed forward, smashing the black snake into pieces and exploding! Then, unabated, with the momentum of swallowing up mountains and rivers, it pounced on the green snake!
At this moment, the green snake had just escaped from the lightning of countless explosions, and its body was covered in bruises and flesh.
Buzz!
The long sword clanked, and the mad dragon pounced. But it was like a phantom, passing through the green snake's neck!
Blood spurted out! The green snake screamed shrilly, and a blood hole the size of a millstone suddenly appeared in its neck. It was transparent from front to back, and its flesh and blood were blurred.
It flew nearly ten feet before finally stopping. The mad dragon turned into a point of light and dissipated, and Lu Yu slowly emerged from the starlight. The sword in his hand was as clear as autumn water, without any trace of blood.
Lu Yu turned around and looked at the green snake that was struggling crazily but its breath was getting weaker and weaker. He coughed lightly and another trace of blood spilled from his mouth. He smiled bitterly and couldn't help but shake his head.
"This green snake is much stronger than that cunning one. Although it is in the same realm, it is not on the same level at all. This time, if I had to use the 'Yu Qing' trick that Xuan Zhenzi taught me unexpectedly,
Purple Book Divine Light Talisman', even if you don't die this time, you will be seriously injured."
Lu Yu whispered to himself, then raised his head and looked towards the little Taoist priest.
