The group of people walked forward for half an hour, when suddenly Shi Mu raised his eyebrows, and Cai'er's voice sounded in his mind.
He raised his head and glanced in a certain direction in the distance.
"Brother Shi, what's wrong?" Zi Ling asked.
"It's nothing. There are monster beasts not far ahead approaching here. Their strength is average, but there are quite a lot of them. Be careful." Shi Mu said.
Zi Ling followed Shi Mu's gaze, blinked her big watery eyes, and nodded.
"Where are the monsters? After walking for a long time, there were two or three kittens, which are not enough to fill the gap between teeth!" A young foreigner walking in front of Shi Mu and Zi Ling heard this and said disdainfully.
"That's right! This is still just a peripheral area, how could there be so many monsters!" Another monster man with green skin and two fangs hanging out of his mouth agreed.
Shi Mu just smiled faintly and said nothing more.
After a while.
"No, there are monsters!" Ji Jiang, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped and shouted.
Not long after he finished speaking, there was a faint rumble of footsteps in the distance, mixed with screams one after another.
The sound is getting louder and louder, and it looks like there are a lot of them!
Everyone's expressions changed, they all looked wary and took out their spiritual weapons.
"Be careful, be on alert!" Ji Jiang raised his eyebrows and shouted loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the grassland ahead rippled like waves, and a large figure appeared.
The figures gradually became clearer, but they were green giants that were four or five times the size of ordinary people. Their bodies had wooden textures, and their eyes were green and full of greedy and fierce light.
There were thirty or forty of these giants, waving some wooden spears, wooden axes, wooden knives, and wooden swords in their hands, and they rushed towards the crowd.
"It's a wooden giant!"
"Why do so many appear all at once!"
"These wooden giants are not very strong, but they are very powerful. Let's fight as a team, don't take it lightly!" Ji Jiang shouted, and the cyan light on his body shone brightly, and his body shot out.
The two fleshy wings on his back suddenly spread out and were several feet long. They emitted a dazzling green light, like two giant knives, easily cutting several wooden giants into two pieces.
Others also used their own methods, and balls of flames, frost, and storms smashed into the oncoming wooden giant.
Shi Mu's eyes flashed and he waved his hand.
A golden sword light flew out, like a swimming dragon, and chopped the two wooden giants rushing from the side into several pieces.
Immediately afterwards, a red light passed over the corpses of these wooden giants, and several thumb-sized green demon cores were picked out, and they fell into Shi Mu's hands in a flash.
Next to Shi Mu, Zi Ling also released two purple flying knives, which turned into two rays of purple light. They went back and forth and killed a wooden giant on the spot.
Although these wooden giants were numerous in number, they were no match for Earth-level disciples like Shi Mu and others. In just a few breaths, these wooden giants were killed and everyone got some demon cores.
"It turns out these things are demon cores..."
Shi Mu looked at the several green demon cores in his hand and muttered to himself.
There were not many monsters he encountered on the road before. As soon as he discovered them, they were easily dealt with by the people in the front team. According to the distribution rules, the monster core naturally belonged to the other party, so it was not until this moment that he saw the so-called monster core for the first time.
.
These things emit strong aura fluctuations, which look similar to Blue Star's demon elixir.
He glanced twice, took out the Qingshan Token and waved it gently, a piece of green glow flew out, caught these demon cores, and took them in.
"Everyone, please don't be fooled by the calm scene in the peripheral area before and take it lightly. This secret realm of Shuitian Qingshan is a trial place for the new disciples of Qinglan Holy Land. The degree of danger is by no means as simple as talking. This point
, Those who have been here must have a deep understanding of it. Just imagine how dangerous the situation would have been if we were alone or a few of us encountered such a group of wooden giants, so it is right for us to form a team." Ji Jiang said loudly to everyone.
Since they had just experienced a battle, most people agreed with this and nodded.
"Okay, the warm-up is over, let's move on!" Ji Jiang showed a smile on his face, waved his hand, and headed forward.
"Brother Shi, you are so powerful. You can feel the aura of monsters from such a distance!" Zi Ling said with admiration.
Shi Mu smiled noncommittally and said nothing more.
In the next two or three days, everyone continued to move forward.
This grassland area is surprisingly large. The group walked for two or three days and still did not see the end.
During this period, monster beasts appeared more and more frequently, but most of them were at the innate realm, and not many at the early stage of the earth realm.
The group has not suffered any casualties so far, and the journey has been extremely smooth. Everyone has obtained a lot of demon cores, and their morale is quite high.
"Fellow Taoist Ziling, how much do you know about this grassland? How come you haven't gone out after walking for several days?" Shi Mu and Ziling were still walking at the end of the team. Shi Mu moved his lips slightly and said through the voice.
"I don't know much about this place, but I've heard people mention it. It's called the Lost Grassland. I don't know why it got this name." Zi Ling replied via voice transmission.
"Lost Grassland..." Shi Mu frowned, thinking to himself.
At this moment, there was a commotion from the team in front. Shi Mu looked up and his face changed slightly. For some reason, a large stone forest appeared in the grassland ahead, stretching to the end of his field of vision, and it looked endless.
The key is that there is a faint gray mist floating in the sky above the stone forest, making Cai'er unable to see clearly.
"Why did so many stone forests suddenly appear?" Shi Mu was surprised.
Everyone was also talking about it at this moment, and they all felt that the appearance of this stone forest was strange.
"Everyone, don't be afraid. Although these stone forests look a little weird, there may be monsters lurking in them, but this is only a peripheral area after all, and the monsters won't be too powerful. As long as we all work together, I believe we won't be able to defeat us. These days
Didn't we get here unscathed?" Ji Jiang stood up and encouraged.
When everyone heard this, they cheered up and expressed their deep agreement.
"Moreover, we have been walking in this direction for so many days. Is it possible that we cannot return the same way because of some dead stone forest?" Ji Jiang continued.
After everyone heard this, they all nodded in agreement, and the uneasy expressions on their faces were greatly reduced.
"Fellow Daoist Ji Jiang, you are relatively familiar with this secret trial realm. I heard that this place is called the Lost Grassland. Do you know why it is called this name?" Shi Mu asked.
"What a coincidence. Although I have entered here twice, I have never been teleported to this grassland. I don't know much about the situation here than everyone else." Ji Jiang glanced at Shi Mu and said.
Shi Mu had a look of disappointment on his face and fell silent.
"Let's go on. Maybe there are some rare spiritual materials in this stone forest waiting for us to pick." Ji Jiang said with a smile, and he flew into the stone forest first.
Everyone also laughed for a while, and the dull feeling in their hearts dissipated a lot, and they followed Ji Jiang into the stone forest area.
What Ji Jiang said was true. After entering the stone forest area, there were obviously more various spiritual materials on the ground. It seemed that no one had been here. Spiritual materials that were decades old could be seen almost everywhere. They were hundreds of years old or even hundreds of years old.
I also occasionally hear about the magical herbs and flowers.
Everyone picked along the way, everyone harvested a lot, and their faces were full of joy.
Although Shi Mu also collected a few spiritual grasses, his face showed no trace of happiness and he looked around from time to time, his eyes wary.
"Brother Shi, what's wrong? Did you find something wrong?" Zi Ling walked over and asked in a low voice.
"No, I just feel a little uneasy. It has been almost an hour since I entered this stone forest area, and I haven't encountered a monster. The situation is a bit strange." Shi Mu said.
Zi Ling's face changed when she heard this. After entering the stone forest area, just as Shi Mu said, it was a bit abnormal not to encounter a monster.
"Maybe..." Zi Ling was about to say something when the ground suddenly shook.
Boom!
There were bursts of roaring from the ground, as if some ferocious beast was roaring underground, and the ground was shaking more and more violently.
"Be careful underground, something is coming out of the ground!" Shi Mu's expression suddenly changed, he shouted loudly, and his body rose up from the ground and flew into the air.
Seeing this scene, others also used various methods to fly into the air. Zi Ling stepped on a colorful flying satin and stood not far away from Shi Mu, with a solemn look on his face.
"Fellow Daoist Shi, what did you detect?" Ji Jiang asked in a deep voice.
Just as Shi Mu was about to reply, a large piece of yellow light suddenly appeared on the ground, covering an area of 70 to 80 feet around.
Boom!
The stone forests on the ground were wrapped in yellow light, and they suddenly stood up one by one. Then they turned around and hit everyone in the air like a trebuchet.
The sound of breaking through the sky is loud!
At one time, hundreds of boulders were wrapped in yellow light and raining down on everyone, covering an extremely wide area and making it impossible to dodge.
"There's an ambush!"
The expressions of everyone in mid-air changed drastically, but everyone reacted very quickly, using various means, their bodies lit up with various protective lights, and they used various protective spiritual weapons to defend themselves.
Shi Mu shouted low, and countless golden scales appeared on his body, covering his whole body and emitting a large golden light, like a god in golden armor.
When several demon youths nearby saw the changes on Shi Mu's body, their faces showed a bit of surprise.
Zi Ling looked at Shi Mu with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
However, a large purple cloud-like thing had already appeared around her, covering her whole body tightly.
As various spiritual lights flashed on everyone's bodies, countless boulders came crashing down and hit everyone.
All kinds of rays of light flashed wildly in the mid-air for a while, and roars and explosions were heard everywhere. After all, these earth-level disciples were also elites of various races. Although they responded a little hastily, they still withstood this wave of boulder attacks.
Shi Mu waved his hand and smashed several boulders flying towards him. His eyes flashed with golden light as he looked towards the ground, his expression suddenly changed.
I saw the ground flashing with light, and a dozen huge monsters like yellow horned dragons came out. Each one was seven or eight feet long, and the aura it exuded reached the ground level!
