Kong Ling didn’t understand much either, so he didn’t speak.
"How many days do you think we've been here?"
"Four days."
"Seven days."
Qingyu and Kongling said in unison, but the content they said was completely different, which made the two of them look at each other in surprise.
"When did you discover it?" Qingyu quickly asked again, "Why didn't I feel it?"
"There is no spiritual energy here." Kong Ling added, instantly leaving Qingyu speechless.
As a martial arts cultivator, Qingyu's perception ability is the most outstanding, and it is impossible to hide the slightest disturbance from her.
So it stands to reason that if the perception of the flow of time is distorted, Qingyu should be the first to discover this, but she was completely unaware of it. This is what shocked and puzzled her.
However, Kong Ling's words also clearly explained the answer that Qingyu was puzzled by.
Spirit beasts are very sensitive to changes in spiritual energy, but if there is no spiritual energy in the surrounding environment, then the spiritual beast's perception ability will be completely weakened and become very slow. This is a racial flaw, even if Qingyu does not
No matter how willing you are, you can't get rid of this. So in this special environment now, Qingyu is actually the one who should be carefulest among the three. It is even possible that she won't be able to detect the enemy if they touch her.
As for Su Anran, he actually didn't feel this either.
His perception of the flow of time was also distorted, and he even felt that he and others had only walked for three days.
But in fact, they have been walking for five days, and they have been walking in circles, and have not really left Tianqiong City - or in other words, Tianqiong City has become a kind of magnet, and Su Anran, Qingyu, Kong Ling and others are still alive.
The monks have become iron stones. No matter how they move forward, they will eventually have to circle back because of the existence of the magnet in Tianqiong City, and it is impossible to leave the secret realm of Tianqiong.
It was Su Anran's system that really discovered this.
Not long ago, she asked in a rather curious tone: "Why do you keep circling here? I've been watching you circling for five days."
Su Anran's face turned dark at that time.
And he always thought that the others had only been away for three days, but the system said it had been five days. Only then did he realize that their perception was completely distorted - not only the perception of the flow of time, but also the space
The same is true for perception.
"Then what should we do now?" Qingyu and Kongling couldn't help turning their heads to look at Su Anran, "How about we try walking in a straight line?"
"It's useless." Su Anran shook her head.
Of course, he would not immediately believe the system's words. Maybe the system was also distorted?
So Su Anran has already tried the straight line method.
The result was that they were obviously walking in a straight line, but they would inexplicably deviate from the route, and eventually they were still going in circles. But this time, Su Anran paid more attention and cooperated with the system to record it.
, so they discovered it relatively quickly. If the mark was left in a stupid way, then according to the system, it would take them nearly two days to circle the entire Tianqiong City.
In the past five days, they have walked around the entire Tianqiong City twice and a half.
"We can't completely restore this secret realm, and it's been five days. This secret realm will only become more and more dangerous." Su Anran sighed, "We must try another way to leave here."
"Another way?" Qingyu and others were puzzled.
"The root." Su Anran said in a deep voice, "This place is very similar to the situation I encountered in the Netherworld Ancient Battlefield, so I believe that there must be a twisted root that dominates everything here. As long as we destroy this root, we will
This distorted situation must be resolved, and then we can leave here."
Qingyu and Kongling looked at each other.
The two of them didn't see any worry or fear.
But anyway, there was no good solution at the moment, so they could only nod and agree to act.
"Then what are you planning to do?" Qingyu asked.
"Don't worry, I have experience in this kind of thing." Su Anran patted her chest, looking like "it's all about me", "The space here is distorted and doesn't want us to leave here, so we just need to follow this
If our instincts keep going, we'll surely find the root cause."
"Why are you so skilled?" Qingyu looked suspicious.
"After all, I came out of the Netherworld Ancient Battlefield. How do you think the Netherworld Ancient Battlefield was defeated in the first place?" Su Anran snorted.
"Isn't it broken by Uncle Second Master?" Qingyu blinked.
"Although the woman in Jiuli was killed by Second Senior Sister, if I hadn't put myself in danger, she wouldn't have woken up at all. How could Second Senior Sister kill someone?" Su Anran snorted coldly, with a look of pride on her face, "
Moreover, if it weren’t for me, all those people who fell into the ancient battlefield of the netherworld would have died.”
"Then they still have to thank you?"
"They have already thanked me." Su Anran said casually.
Qingyu was so angry that she could only curse bitterly: "You smell shameless."
But Su Anran pretended not to hear it at all.
After a few people calmed down a bit, they quickly continued on their way.
But this time, they did not resist the subconscious guidance too much, and they did not immediately go deeper when they saw some ruins of buildings on the edge of Tianqiong City like before, so they quickly returned to
Inside the "giant city" of Tianqiong City, just looking at the more broken ruins around them, as well as various traces of cruel battles that could prove the existence here before, several people fell into silence.
In the past few days, this secret realm has obviously undergone some more dangerous changes.
However, there is currently a lack of on-site evidence, so it is not yet clear what the changes are.
The only thing that is certain is that all the bodies have disappeared.
When Su Anran and others left Tianqiong City and tried to leave Tianqiong Secret Realm, they saw a lot of corpses when they passed through these ruins. But now, although the road they took when they came back was different from when they left.
It's not consistent, but judging from the battles that broke out in the secret realm before, at least there shouldn't be even one corpse visible.
So the weirdness revealed now all indicates one thing, that is, the danger value of this secret realm has increased again.
A few people walked carefully through the ruins of the city, choosing roads with a relatively open view as much as possible to avoid entering some lanes.
Even if there is no road ahead, Su Anran will forcefully break through the obstacles in the alleyway in his own way. After all, he has a lot of magic pills and is not afraid of the loss of true energy. Anyway, his purpose is very clear, which is to never let himself enter the shadow of existence.
place.
Because he had suffered heavy losses in the ancient battlefield of the Netherworld, he knew that there might be enemies in these shadows.
After walking like this for a long time, just when Su Anran destroyed the alleyway for the third time and tried to open a passage with a clear view, the ground suddenly vibrated.
"Someone big is approaching." Su Anran immediately became vigilant.
Qingyu and Kongling also quickly moved closer to Su Anran, and then the three of them quickly moved their positions and chose to go to the open space they passed through before.
But just as they were about to leave, several black shadows suddenly shot out from the shadows formed by a collapsed floor.
These figures have the same appearance.
They all look like teenagers.
But they are hideous and ugly, with all the water in their bodies completely lost, and their bodies look dry, like a layer of wrinkled skin wrapped around the bones. However, they have very sharp nails, which look like
The claws are the same, and the teeth are also very sharp. It can be seen at a glance that the bite force of these monsters is not small.
Several black shadows leaped into the air and flew towards Su Anran and others.
They seem to be fierce, but in fact the strength of these monsters is not very high, probably only equivalent to the level of the natal realm.
Before Su Anran even made a move, Qingyu raised her hand and a fireball as big as a marble flew over, and then hit these monsters head-on and face-to-face. On average, each monster was hit with more than ten fireballs.
Although these fireballs may only appear to be the size of marbles, the temperature inside them is actually quite high.
Just one shot is enough to completely ignite these monsters - they look skinny, like dehydrated and sun-dried corpses, but they have a surprising amount of oil in their bodies, so once
Once a flame marble entered the body, it was completely ignited.
On average, a monster was hit by at least ten flame marbles, which not only knocked them backwards, but even the temperature of the burning flames reached a terrifying thousands of degrees, almost instantly destroying their bones.
All burned to ashes.
Su Anran was slightly puzzled by Qingyu's action.
Because Qingyu has rarely taken action since she transformed into a spiritual beast.
Usually in Taiyi Valley, I follow Fang Qianwen and take care of the spiritual plants in the back valley. Occasionally, I go to refine elixirs. Basically, I live a farm life of planting flowers and raising fish.
Even if she encounters some unsatisfactory things outside, she usually will not choose to take action, but will choose to reveal her identity as a disciple of Taiyi Valley to scare away some people who are trying to do evil things.
So at this moment Qingyu suddenly took action and looked very fierce, Su Anran was really curious.
But he knew that it was not a good time to ask now, because the extremely strong vibration was getting closer and closer, and it was clearly coming towards them, so Su Anran immediately took Qingyu and Kongling away from this place
An area not suitable for fighting - there were too many shadow areas nearby. He didn't want to have a lot of child-like monsters jump out of the shadows to attack him when he was fighting that huge monster.
This is a very dangerous thing.
In the Netherworld Ancient Battlefield, the first thing Su Anran learned was not to look down on a monster because of its low strength.
Because these monsters have been completely distorted, they are likely to have some special ability that you cannot understand, and they can kill you inadvertently - Su Anran encountered it when he led the team in the Netherworld Ancient Battlefield.
One of the attrition cases was because a group of monks felt that a kind of monster that was only in the natal realm was too weak to be afraid. However, they did not expect that after killing these monsters, they would emit a terrifying poisonous smoke, causing many monks to inadvertently
After inhaling this smoke, the soul is polluted.
"Those should be the ghostly corpse boys."
When leaving here, Qingyu suddenly said: "They are all resentful souls of children who died tragically. Their hearts are full of strong unwillingness and resentment. After coming into contact with certain skeletons, they will become like that... But their
There is some aura about him that I can't understand, and it must have been contaminated and distorted in some way here."
"Usually after being contaminated and distorted, some new changes will occur. These things should have some abilities that you don't know about." Su Anran took over, "I am indeed a little surprised that you would actually take action."
"Because the resentful ghost corpse boys are not afraid of any attack method other than the sun and fire elements... Even if you tear them into pieces with sword energy, they can be repaired again." Qingyu said, "Actually, Longhu Mountain is
To deal with the real masters of these things, my methods are still a little rough. But..."
"but?"
"A ghost actually appeared here. I suspect that the people over at Longhu Mountain must also have used the ability of the small world, causing them to be assimilated into this secret realm."
There is indeed someone coming to Longhu Mountain this time.
Ghost King. Yang Xin.
Then the elder Yang Xin brought with him must also be from Longhu Mountain, but I don't know if he is still alive.
The shaking sound is getting closer and closer.
Su Anran and others also left the surrounding ruined area, and then saw the culprit who caused the shock.
"Is that... Taotie?"
At the end of everyone's line of sight was a giant creature that was estimated to be over thirty meters tall.
This monster is all black, has scales on its body, looks like dragon scales, has four hooves, and a white, huge fluffy tail, but no one would want to try the power of this tail. There are
Three rows of bone spurs extend all the way to the end of the buttocks. The head looks like a lion's head, but the side hairs are blue-red and there is a pair of huge horns.
Qingyu recognized this thing as a Taotie because there was a huge mouth on its chest and abdomen.
As we all know, the Taotie's head is only used for communication, and the giant mouth on its chest and abdomen is used for eating.
"Isn't the Taotie extinct? It was a ferocious beast from the First Era!"
"Don't forget where this place is." Su Anran also said with an ugly face, "That guy is not simple. He can even imagine Taotie. I don't know what to say about him."
"What should I do?" Kong Ling asked, "That Taotie doesn't seem to be strong. It only has the strength of the Earth Fairyland. Do we want to help?"
"What help can you do?" Su Anran said angrily, "You two are not even qualified to raid the formation. Even if I take action, I may not be able to solve it... Don't forget, Taotie has the ability to swallow mountains and rivers with anger. Maybe I
As soon as the sword energy comes out, it is swallowed by it and becomes the nourishment for its own strength."
"Then..." Kong Ling was a little ugly.
But she also knew that Su Anran was telling the truth.
Taotie, an ancient evil creature, was not killed by humans, but perished in the destruction of the First Era.
Under normal circumstances, no one can kill this creature.
"Unless someone from the other side takes action, don't even think about it." Su Anran shook her head, "But you two find a place to hide first."
"What are you going to do?" Qingyu looked at Su Anran with vigilance.
"Of course it's to save the fool." Su Anran said, "That Taotie is undoubtedly a phantom demon. What if it kills the fool, what if it gains wisdom and goes to the mysterious world in the future?...
Even if we can't kill this glutton, we can at least save people and escape."
Qingyu and Kongling then remembered that the Phantom Demon had a disgusting ability to gain wisdom by killing its host.
If Taotie really has wisdom and goes to the Xuan Realm in the future, then it will really cause a big problem.
