The days here are long, and so are the nights. A night of breathing adjustment will almost heal the injury.
At dawn, Niu Youdao finished his work and opened his eyes. He turned his head and looked at the moon butterfly resting on the stone wall. His eyes were deep for a while, and then he took out a piece of spiritual seed and cast a spell to break it into powder, which was mixed with the moon butterfly's food.
among.
Nowadays, there are not many people willing to follow him. Only this Moon Butterfly can be completely trusted and will never leave him. Therefore, he would rather waste his spiritual seed, even if his usage is shortened, he must try to keep this moon butterfly.
Yue Die, try not to let it die in the secret realm.
After collecting the moon butterfly, Niu Youdao picked up his sword and stood up. He walked out of the cave and nodded to Wu Zhaoxing, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating outside the cave.
let's go!
Although Niu Youdao went out quietly for a few days, the so-called five-day retreat time had not yet come. However, since he decided to set off, the people from the three major sects naturally had no objections and the group continued to move forward.
After controlling the loss of mana, half a day later, when he was about to walk out of the forest, but before he could walk out, he heard the sound of shaking ground rumbling from a distance.
Everyone was alert and quickly left the forest. Standing on the hillside and looking around, they saw a vast grassland in front of them.
This grassland is different from the grasslands outside. The weeds are all taller than people. Although the scattered trees on the grassland are not as huge as the forest behind them, they are much larger than the trees outside. Being here always makes people feel that things outside are very small.
The source of the rumbling and trembling sound was also found. A group of unusually large animals walked through the grassland like hills. They had long necks and tails, and each foot landed on the ground with a dull "thunk" sound.
Everyone looked at it in amazement, and they all clicked their tongues.
Niu Youdao was stunned when he saw it. His thoughts were a little confused. One word flashed in his mind, dinosaur?
If he admits correctly, based on his knowledge in his previous life, the group of behemoths passing by in front of him should be the one called Brachiosaurus?
Before entering the Tiandu Secret Realm, he had heard that there were many huge animals here, but he could not imagine that it would be something like this.
He looked back at the forest of giant trees behind him, then looked around, and a mess of associations appeared in his mind, and he didn't know whether they were right or wrong.
It is said that under normal circumstances, animals from the outside world cannot survive here, and animals here cannot survive in the outside world. The difference lies in the special environment of the two places. He was somewhat reminded of the so-called extinction in the memory of his previous life. Is it because of the destruction of the special environment?
, which led to that extinction.
"Don't worry, everyone. According to previous experience, this thing looks huge, but as long as we don't mess with it, it won't attack us." Shan Hai turned around to comfort the Xiaoyao Palace disciples who became distraught behind him, but also reminded: "
But not all of them are inoffensive, and you can make your own judgment after encountering them."
Niu Youdao suddenly asked, "The Wanshou Sect is good at controlling beasts, can it control the animals here?"
Shan Haidao: "No, when you come here, the Ten Thousand Beast Sect will also catch you blind. Things in the two realms are different. It is probably related to the special environment here."
"Let's go, first find a coordinate location for gathering, and then arrange for people to spread out and search." Yan Li greeted, and took the lead in leading the Zijin Cave personnel to fly away.
Everyone flew away one after another, and more than a thousand people were rising and landing on the grassland.
From time to time in the grass, a ferocious little guy with fangs and claws that is about the height of a person jumps out. He jumps up to ten feet high, and bites everyone when they are falling. However, they can't match the monk's reaction speed, or they are kicked away by the monk.
Or it becomes something that everyone can rely on.
Finally, a group of about hundreds of ferocious little guys in the grass below pursued them in groups, galloping through the grass below like chopping waves.
However, it could not catch up with the monk's flying speed, so in the end it could only swish its tail and watch the monk go away.
After flying for about an hour, everyone left the grassland and broke into a rolling mountain forest.
Most of the trees here seem to be normal. Although they are still very tall, they are not as tall as the trees in the ancient forest.
However, the trees in the ancient forest are single, while here a variety of vegetation grows together.
As soon as they entered the forest, the three major sects reminded the disciples below to be careful.
Niu Youdao's understanding of this caution is that the ancient forest blocks the living space of other plants, destroys the food chain, and makes it difficult for various animals to survive. There are not so many ferocious beasts, and places outside the ancient forest are different.
There may be various ferocious beasts waiting for an opportunity to prey on you at any time. These ferocious beasts are used to being wild and will not know whether you are monks with extraordinary destructive power. If they seize the opportunity, they will attack you.
Leaping over the mountains, a group of people headed straight for the highest peak.
As luck would have it, there is a black tree growing on the main peak, with dark branches and few leaves. It is the so-called spiritual tree.
The ones who took the lead were the people from Zijin Cave. They rushed to the front and as soon as they discovered the spiritual tree, they immediately swept away all the fruits growing on the spiritual tree.
Although the spiritual tree is huge, there are only seven fruits on the tree. The seven fruits growing toward the sky are at the top of the seven clusters of main branches, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon.
The fruit is also dark and looks like a coconut to Niu Youdao.
As soon as the fruit was removed, an incredible scene appeared. It seemed that the spirit of the entire spiritual tree had been removed. The big tree seemed to be unable to bear any load anymore. The branches snapped and fell, and the remaining trunk also quickly decayed, and finally everything collapsed.
collapse.
This is one of the magical things about spiritual trees. There are no seeds of growth. They are nurtured by heaven and earth. They are born by collecting the essence of heaven and earth. It takes twenty years to grow into a tree. After that, it blooms in ten years, bears fruit in ten years, and matures in ten years. It is exactly fifty years old.
There is a cycle of life and death once a year.
The spiritual seed in the fruit can only exist here for five years at most. When the five years are up, it will be born in the dark, and finally dissipate in the dark.
As for where spiritual trees will grow and where they will disappear, there is no fixed pattern that can be captured. At least the practice community has not yet found this pattern. Spiritual trees seem to grow wherever they want.
Although the people from Zijin Cave took advantage of the first spiritual tree they encountered, there was no looting. There was no need to kill each other for such a small thing.
However, several factions gathered everyone to watch how the spiritual seeds were harvested.
The shell of the fruit is very hard, and it can only be broken open by using magic. After breaking open, you can smell a refreshing fragrance. The pulp inside has become capsules, and there are densely packed spiritual seeds in them, the size of sesame seeds.
Crystal clear purple.
The quantity is the same, there are exactly 700 spiritual seeds in one fruit, no more, no less, which means that one spiritual tree can collect nearly 5,000 spiritual seeds.
The quantity seems to be a lot, but in fact it is only a small handful.
Niu Youdao, who was watching, had his eyes opened.
Afterwards, the three factions discussed and decided to use the main peak here as the starting point to spread out the people and launch a large-scale search. After agreeing on the approximate distance ahead, everyone would gather and rearrange their positions, also to collect the harvest in everyone's hands.
After the agreement was made, the three major factions, namely, the middle section, the left wing, and the right wing, were each responsible for a specific aspect and began to make their own arrangements.
Niu Youdao didn't know which arrangement he should belong to, but Chu Fengping, the elder of Lingjian Mountain, found him first and took the opportunity to ask in a low voice, "Have you thought about it? Do you have to wait five days? With your head, you need to think about it.
Is it that long? There is no point in delaying it for another day or two."
Yan Li on the other side of Zijin Cave and the mountains and seas on the other side of Xiaoyao Palace all glanced at this side with vague eyes. They knew exactly what Chu Fengping was looking for to see Niu Youdao, but they both pretended to be confused and didn't see through it.
Say it as if you don’t know.
It's a blessing, not a curse, but you can't avoid it. What's supposed to come will eventually come.
"Elder Chu is right..." Niu Youdao felt a little heavy and said word by word: "Marriage is not a trivial matter. It is difficult for Niu to obey orders!"
Chu Fengping's face darkened, "Brother, this is not a place to be emotional. If you haven't thought about it yet, I will let you wait for five days before thinking about it. Don't be emotional."
Niu Youdao: "Elder Chu, why are you so forced? Is there no other way to discuss it?"
Chu Fengping: "Other ways? Okay, you can come up with some other ways. As long as you can come up with a way that can completely reassure me, I will listen to you."
There is no way, Niu Youdao can reveal a major secret and give it to the other party as a handle. However, Chu Fengping or Lingjian Mountain cannot bear the weight of those secrets, and it is very likely that he will be sold directly to Piaomiao Pavilion, which will outweigh the gain!
To put it bluntly, he didn't have any good ideas, so he kept silent.
Chu Fengping stared at him for a while and then softened his tone: "Brother, why bother yourself? It's really unnecessary. How about I give you one more day to think about it?"
Niu Youdao: "We cooperate, mutual benefit, and it is good for everyone, so why push others too hard!"
Chu Fengping: "I also want to reciprocate and benefit each other, but you don't understand me! I'm not forcing you, but bringing you is a burden and will cause huge trouble. Lingjian Mountain will not get the benefits it wants. You and I are not our own people.
If so, why should I let the disciples of Lingjian Mountain sacrifice themselves for you? Brother, I am good enough to you. My disciple wants to marry many people, and a good thing will come true for you in vain. Is it necessary to be so embarrassed?
?What a great thing, why do you have any hesitation?"
Niu Youdao said calmly: "Is it enough if I agree to marry her?"
Chu Fengping: "Promise is the minimum! But this place is not suitable for marriage, and I don't want to wrong the girl. It would be too hasty. When we get out of the secret realm, I will arrange a grand wedding for you. Of course, the marriage is just a formality.
, in order to make you feel at ease, I can give it to you first, so that everyone can feel at ease when you have a child..."
As expected, Niu Youdao had already guessed what he was going to say and raised his hand to stop, "Elder Chu, Niu appreciates the kindness. I don't think we can talk about it."
Chu Fengping's face turned ugly, "Niu Youdao, don't be shameless, don't toast or eat as a penalty, it's better to think clearly before you say anything!"
Niu Youdao said firmly, "Marry whoever wants to marry you, I don't like the women in Lingjian Mountain!"
