The mangrove forest in Lingshan is also called the redwood iron forest. It is born naturally along with Lingshan Mountain. It is concentrated at an altitude of 10,000 meters, which is the special transition zone from the mountainside to the top of the mountain.
The mangrove has grown over countless years, and each ancient tree looks vigorous and simple. The trunk is big enough for two or three people to surround it. It is as strong as steel, and its surface is densely covered with broken bark, giving it a sense of vicissitudes of time.
Each ancient tree towers into the clouds, competing to grow towards the sky and the sea of clouds. The main trunk is thick and strong, and the roots are like giant pythons. There are countless messy branches. The ancient trees grow close to each other, with the roots connected to the roots.
The branches are entangled with the branches, covering the sky and spreading all over the earth's surface.
Like a giant blood-red city wall, it blocks the approach from the mountainside to the top of the mountain.
The forest area is very large and chaotic, and it is filled with thin fog. Anyone who wants to break into the mangrove will lose their way once they enter the mangrove. It is like being in a natural maze of trees. Let alone walking forward.
It is difficult to retreat. Moreover, the redwood iron tree is as tough as steel, and its branches are sharp and sharp. If you want to force your way through, you must have at least the strong physique and ability of a second-level demon king. It will also cause an extremely magnificent momentum, which will definitely wake up the mountainside.
and the guards at the top of the mountain.
To pass through the mangroves, there is only one opened channel.
The passage is quite spacious, with a width of about ten meters and a height of about tens of meters. It is considered for the large high-level monsters. The top of the passage is covered by branches intertwined into a whole, and below is a staircase composed of thick roots. On both sides of the passage are
There are huge mahogany trees, but... there are some weird things mixed in among these mahogany trees.
They are the guards of the mangrove passage - tree demons!!
It is not as huge as a normal ancient tree, but it is still four or five meters high. It is very strong. At least it has the strength of a demon king. There are several special leaders who have reached the demon king realm. As for what level of demon king they are... who
I don’t even know! Because no one has seen these tree demons take action with their own eyes. They only know that they are very scary.
Even the two third-level demon masters guarding Lingshan would lower their posture slightly when passing through the mangroves.
Today, standing in front of the calm mangrove forest is a strange human-shaped monster—Tang Yan!
He missed Mu Rou in his heart and didn't want to practice in seclusion, so he quietly slipped here.
I wanted to see if there was any secret passage, but after wandering around for a long time, I finally came to the entrance of the passage and took out the token given by Guo Fuyao: "This is the pass given by the Four Saints. Can you please let me pass?"
"Why did you go to the top of the mountain?" A hoarse old voice came from the dark passage.
"Visiting the Great Sage."
"You only have half a day. Once the time is up, the passage will be closed again, and the Red Forest Passage will forever restrict your peers."
There was a crisp clicking sound in the passage, as the branches and leaves intersecting in the passage were retracted into the woods, revealing a spacious and unobstructed passage, allowing Tang Yan to climb on the roots.
Tang Yan crossed the passage and entered the mountain top area.
What is he here for? A private meeting with Mu Rou!
I'm afraid Tang Yan is the only one in the world who dares to think about having an affair under the nose of the holy beast and actually takes action!
It is very quiet here. You can see green ancient trees, elegant pavilions and pavilions all around. There are many large and small gravel roads in the forest, leading to different areas.
As the core area of East Kuiling Mountain, the top of the mountain is inhabited by core high-level people, including the sacred beast Zhu Jian, three saints, and two third-level demon kings. The area is very wide, and each high-level person occupies a certain position.
, as a place for daily retreat and intensive cultivation.
In addition to them, there are also a few maids and servants responsible for taking care of the house, as well as doormen and medicine boys.
Tang Yan walked along the forest path, silently feeling the energy fluctuations in the area, looking for the place where Mu Rou might exist. Semi-saints like the Samsara Blood Snake and Rhinoceros would exude extremely thick blood energy, while Guo Fuyao would be relatively
Quiet and simple feelings can tell whose territory this is, while Mu Rou has a light and holy aura.
These can be used as the basis for finding Mu Rou.
Tang Yan searched for a long time and finally stopped in the eastern area. The architectural style here is slightly luxurious. It is a small palace, much larger than other directions. In front of the palace, there are two extremely heroic peak demon kings.
.
High in the sky of the palace, there is a terrifying devouring power, gathering the spiritual power between heaven and earth. Its scale is definitely not something that a demon lord or a half-saint can trigger.
It seems that this is undoubtedly the residence of the sacred beasts.
That is where Mu Rou was detained.
Tang Yan was lurking in the woods, observing the palace from a distance. Maybe no one had ever dared to come and disturb him. Except for the two demon kings who were waiting for orders, there were no alert guards in front of the palace. It looked like
An undefended fortress.
Of course, Tang Yan was not purely crazy, but concluded that the chance of Zhu Jian discovering him was very small, to the point of being extremely slim.
Because Zhu Qian was seriously injured this time and needed to recover his strength faster and better, he would choose to go into deep retreat. This is his own territory, and the immortal phoenix does not dare to come and cause trouble. After the Holy Mountain incident, the Holy Lords of each territory will settle down for a period of time.
, so Zhu Jian’s deep retreat may evolve into a retreat to death.
Unless a powerful person invades and causes a big sensation, Zhu Qian will not be disturbed to wake up. In a state of cultivation, Zhu Qian will not deliberately investigate Mu Rou's situation.
Therefore, the time is very suitable for Tang Yan to sneak in. The only thing he is worried about is...whether Zhu Qian will set any restrictions inside.
"Wait for me, I'll come." Tang Yan avoided the guards at the main entrance, took a detour to the back and climbed over the wall.
The architectural style of the temple is magnificent and somewhat elegant and beautiful.
Maybe it was because Zhu Jian liked peace and quiet, so the huge palace was empty, let alone maids, and there were no free-range monsters, which was convenient for Tang Yan.
Sneaking on tiptoe along the corners, secretly exploring the movements of each room.
Tang Yan was cautious all the way, fearing that he might accidentally disturb something. After all, he did not know where Zhu Jian lived, nor did he know what kind of special abilities the Demon Saint had.
But when Tang Yan searched the entire palace, he did not find any suspicious clues. There was no sound or energy fluctuation in the huge palace complex. It was as quiet as a dead place. Logically speaking, Mu Rou should practice in seclusion.
It should be easy to detect the special flow that causes the spiritual power of heaven and earth. How could this happen?
"Does it mean that Mu Rou is not here? Or... is there some secret room inside?" Tang Yan sat cross-legged in the darkness in the corner, frowning and thinking. The black water locust was sucking the blood of the semi-saint, preparing for a new transformation.
, Tang Yan didn’t want to bother her anymore, so he could only explore on his own.
"Eh? That's... Yuna? Why is she here?" Tang Yan was frowning when he suddenly noticed a slim figure walking in the distance. He took a closer look and saw that it was the maid who was arranged to serve in his own courtyard.
.
Yuna held a silver plate in her hand. The silver plate was full of strange spiritual fruits. They looked very tempting and exuded a misty spiritual mist, which was extremely extraordinary. She walked towards the backyard and did not find Tang Yan's presence, or at all.
I didn't expect that there would be 'infiltrators' inside the Holy Lord's temple.
"Why did Yuna come to the top of the mountain when she wasn't staying on the mountainside?" Tang Yan wondered, quietly following behind and following Yuna to the backyard.
Yuna walked directly to a wooden house covered with green vines and took out a jade pendant from her arms. The jade pendant gave off a soft halo and followed her into the wooden house, and then... disappeared...
Tang Yan could clearly see that the halo emitted by the jade pendant filled Yuna's body. When she approached the wooden house, subtle ripples appeared in the surrounding space, as if she had passed through some kind of membrane and entered a special place.
place.
Banned!!
Tang Yan was secretly shocked. No wonder he didn't find any abnormality before. It was indeed strange! It should be a restriction set by the holy beast Zhu Qian himself, and Mu Rou was probably inside!
Fortunately, there is no excessive temptation, otherwise once the restriction is touched, it is likely to be noticed. If it is unfortunate enough to wake up Zhu Qian, he may be in trouble today.
what to do?
Tang Yan turned his eyes and lurked cautiously in the dark bushes.
Fortunately, not long after, there was another fluctuation in the space in front of the wooden house. At this moment, Tang Yan made a decisive decision. Like a wild leopard hunting, it suddenly burst into flames, thrust out a claw, and made a snapping sound.
Clasp it on Yuna's throat.
Yuna was defenseless, and before she could fully come out of the confinement, a huge force was exerted on her throat, and she was torn out.
The next second Tang Yan grabbed Yuna's throat, his footsteps moved and he rushed towards the corner not far away.
The whole movement was astonishingly fast, and in the blink of an eye, both of them fell silent.
Yuna was in shock, staring at the 'orc' in front of her with wide eyes, and wanted to speak, but her throat was tightly strangled, and the huge force almost broke her throat.
