Going out from the south gate of Karasuma City, there is a plain like flat land.
The water and soil here are relatively fertile, so there are more than a dozen spiritual plant farms outside the city, which are responsible for the production of spiritual plants that do not have particularly high environmental requirements. The demand for such spiritual plants is the largest, but the requirements are also the lowest.
, so it is natural to control operations through some special means to achieve large-scale mass production.
After about a day's journey, you will enter the Wushui Mountains - a mountain range that spans the entire Wushui Kingdom. All branches and peaks in the Wushui Kingdom extend from this mountain range.
The mountain range is huge, with many ferocious beasts inside, and naturally there are also many rare spiritual plants.
If you don't follow the path opened by the predecessors, you may lose your way completely after going deep into the mountains. If you can find a way out, it is a fluke; the most feared thing is to get completely lost without knowing where you are, and in the end you can only
Become a pile of dry bones in the mountains.
Su Anran and Song Baiye left the south gate of Karasuma City and galloped all the way.
It should have taken about two days to enter the Wushui Mountains, but for them it only took half a day.
But after entering the mountain range, Su Anran and Song Baiye had to lower their altitude.
Because the mountains in Beiling are lush with vegetation, many of them present a primitive forest-like forest sea environment. Therefore, if Su Anran and others continue to fly at high altitudes, it will be impossible to find people. After all, they are not
He is in a hurry, so there is no need to continue flying at high altitudes.
"Can you find them?" Su Anran turned her head and looked at Song Baiye.
He knew that Song Baiye had a very special ability. Although he could not accurately identify the target, he could still capture the breath of the living and the dead, provided that the other party happened to be within Song Baiye's perception range.
Song Baiye didn't answer and took a deep breath.
Suddenly, the surrounding wind was strong, and the air flow visible to the naked eye was sucked into Song Baiye's nose like a whale.
After a while, the strong wind subsided.
Song Baiye then spoke: "There is no smell of living people within a hundred miles ahead, but there is a lot of smell of dead bodies... and some smell of animals."
"No one?" Su Anran asked again.
Song Baiye frowned slightly, and then said: "I'm not sure if it's a human being?... It has an aura similar to that of a living creature, but it emits the stench of a dead body."
"Parasite." Su Anran looked solemn, "Where are these things!"
Song Baiye didn't say anything, but as soon as his body moved, he began to rush forward.
Su Anran followed closely behind.
The towering trees in the forest and the tangled roots protruding from the ground are all obstructions to ordinary people, but they are nothing to Song Baiye and Su Anran. These two people regard everything as
With nothing in mind, he moved forward quickly.
It only takes a few breaths.
Su Anran felt that the vision in front of her suddenly became empty, and the two of them broke into a messy battlefield.
A very fierce battle had obviously broken out on this battlefield, because the ground was full of traces of the battle.
For example, there were big trees that exploded and collapsed, weapons and many corpses scattered on the ground, there were still many burning flames around, and some strange burning smell wafting around. But what really attracted people's attention was
Dozens of people with different clothes, different looks, different ages, genders
Different people with different weapons were cleaning the battlefield - they moved the corpses that were not burned, had complete limbs, and had no obvious injuries to an open space, and then a spider-like monster was spitting out white threads and moving them.
These corpses were wrapped one by one like packages.
The appearance of Su Anran and Song Baiye was too sudden, and the noise was not small.
So these people naturally looked at Su Anran and Song Baiye.
Song Baiye's eyes clearly showed disgust for the first time.
Su Anran also had a cold face.
The moment he appeared here, his spiritual consciousness spread out and covered the entire battlefield, so he knew very well that there was no living person on this battlefield - not even the people who were cleaning the battlefield in front of him.
They are not real "people", but corpses that have been parasitized and controlled by the eggs of the Soul-Splitting Demonic Mountain Spider. This is evident from their scarlet eyes and the huge black ferocious blood vessels that swell out from their necks.
It can be seen.
After all, this is not the first time Su Anran has seen this kind of thing.
The battle completely broke out at this moment.
Dozens of figures let out a scream and flew towards Song Baiye and Su Anran like flying foxes.
The huge spiders quickly entangled the wrapped silk cocoons together, then lifted them up and quickly moved away, with no intention of getting involved in the battle.
"sword!"
Su Anran gave a low drink.
In the air, violent sword energy suddenly began to surge.
After entering Beiling, Su Anran had already noticed that his consciousness was suppressed to a very small range - in fact, it was not when he entered Beiling, but when he entered the Tianyuan Secret Realm.
His spiritual consciousness had already been suppressed, but the impact was not great at first. It was after he entered the Beiling area that this suppression became obvious.
Not to mention compared to him when he was only in the Soul Condensing Realm, he was even worse than when he was in the Aperture Realm.
But Su Anran knew why.
The way of heaven in this world is a brand new way of heaven that is completely independent from the mysterious world. It has its own rules. Outsiders like Su Anran who bear the mark of "mysterious world", even if they have not crossed the rules set by the way of heaven in this world,
, but it will inevitably be suppressed in some aspects.
Song Nana and Shangguan Xin only told him this later.
But even so.
Su Anran's consciousness is still more than enough to cover the battlefield.
And Su Anran's sword energy has a special characteristic.
That is, as long as he is within the coverage of his spiritual consciousness, his sword energy can appear out of thin air, and there is no need to activate the true energy from his own body like other people, and then convert the true energy into sword energy.
Points have always been Su Anran's biggest advantage.
The next moment.
Then he saw the sword energy in mid-air like a rainbow.
Countless rays of sword energy suddenly burst out of the air. Whether it was these parasites or the escaping spiders, they were all torn apart by Su Anran's sword energy, crushed into pieces, and turned into rain of blood falling all over the sky.
As for Su Anran's body, the sword energy surged out, and the blood rain was excluded and could not fall on him at all.
The battle broke out suddenly, but ended quickly.
Everything happens in the blink of an eye.
These parasites are generally in the Soul Condensing Realm, and a few of them have reached the level of the Earthly Immortal Realm. With their strength, after being transformed by the Soul-Splitting Demonic Mountain Spider, they will have a fighting chance against the ordinary upper-level Immortal Realm monks in this world.
With such power, even those in the fifth and sixth realms of immortality can directly kill the opponent by relying on the ants-killing-elephant style of play.
But facing Su Anran, who already possesses the Taoist realm, these parasites are completely inadequate.
Just one move.
They all turned into dust.
Su Anran put away her sword energy, then let her consciousness cover the battlefield, carefully searching for any clues that might be hidden in it.
After a moment, Su Anran raised his head and said in a deep voice: "The people in this camp were suddenly attacked, and these parasites should have been following them for a long time and knew them well, so when the battle broke out, the camp
The people in the camp were overwhelmed before they had time to react, and fell into fighting on their own. In the end, the people in the camp were unable to resist the siege of these parasites, and they broke out in three directions."
Song Baiye took a look at the battlefield, which was already very messy and chaotic, and then became even more messy due to Su Anran's action. He still couldn't figure out how Su Anran identified the details of this battlefield. In the end, he could only shout: "
Daddy is awesome!"
Su Anran rolled her eyes.
He wanted to correct Song Baiye's slip of the tongue, but no matter how he corrected it, Song Baiye still called him daddy, which made him quite helpless, so he didn't bother to correct it this time and pointed directly in three different directions: "From here
Can you sense anything from three different directions?"
Song Baiye repeated his old skills.
After a while, he said: "There is no breath of living people in one place, and there is still in another place, but the distance is not close. But the third place is a little strange."
"Why is it weird?"
Su Anran was not afraid of Song Baiye saying strange things.
Because as long as Song Baiye finds something strange, there is often a slight turning point.
"There is the smell of living people, and there are probably quite a few of them, but they disappeared inexplicably in the middle of the journey." Song Baiye thought for a while, and then said, "They should be hiding, I smell ghosts
The smell of incense. The parasites can't find them, but they disperse very quickly, so if we want to pass by, we can't go quietly, and we will definitely alert the parasites."
Song Baiye learns things very quickly.
Su Anran only mentioned the parasite once and he already remembered it.
"Do you still remember the smell of the old man we saw that day?"
Song Baiye nodded, and then pointed in the third direction: "He is in the direction where the ghost scent is."
"Walk."
Su Anran was straightforward and neat.
The whole person turned into a black shadow.
The strong wind howled past his ears.
He spreads out his spiritual consciousness field, which is not too large, but it is enough to eliminate the possibility of any sneak attack. And if he is within the range of his spiritual consciousness perception, and someone accidentally enters it, then before the other party can react, they will
There was a sword energy that strangled the opponent into mincemeat on the spot.
There could never be another living person here and now, so Su Anran was not worried about the so-called manslaughter at all.
Song Baiye stood up one step slower than Su Anran, but quickly passed Su Anran and led the way in front of him.
However, Song Baiye did not exceed the range of Su Anran's spiritual perception.
Because Song Baiye had a good understanding and learned things very quickly.
During this period of time, he was with the little butcher and Qingyu, so what he learned the most was how to be legally lazy - at this time, within the range of Su Anran's consciousness, he did not need to take action at all, as long as he was in
It is enough to be a good guide from the front.
After a while, Song Baiye brought Su Anran to a huge rock.
This boulder is nearly two meters high and has an irregular rugged shape. There are also many stones of different sizes scattered around, which makes the surrounding environment look very natural and there is nothing wrong with it.
.
But Su Anran knew that Song Baiye brought him here for no reason.
After observing carefully, he found that there was a faint flow of air behind the boulder. It was obvious that there was a cave behind the boulder. And on the back of the boulder, there was a dark black powdery substance similar to incense ash——
These incense ash exudes a very light and strange aroma, which seems to be able to absorb the scent of all living things.
This is also the reason why Song Baiye didn't smell the breath of other living people.
Su Anran pointed out both.
A ray of sword energy flew out from the tip of the sword, instantly shattering the boulder.
The next moment, a flash of sword light burst out from the rocks flying everywhere, hitting Su Anran's face.
At the same time, along with the sword light came a loud shout: "Second uncle, take the princess and run away!"
Someone came out with a sword.
Make the final obstruction and fight.
There were also several figures rushing to the left.
This is a bait to confuse the enemy.
Then three more figures rushed towards the right.
These three people are the real targets.
In Su Anran's eyes, the actions of these people on the other side seemed to be in slow motion.
He could even see among the three people breaking through to the right, there was a petite and exquisite figure of a girl, who must be the so-called princess; and the target Su Anran came out to find during this trip, Zhao Shucheng, also suddenly broke out on the right.
in the figure.
Thinking of the second uncle called by the person who drew the sword at this moment, Su Anran immediately knew the identity of the person who was attacking her.
As a result, Su Anran restrained the sword energy that was about to move.
He just stretched out his right hand and pinched it with his thumb and index finger forward.
A mournful buzzing sound suddenly sounded.
Zhao Zhongan immediately realized that his sword could not move forward even an inch.
And it's more than that.
The sword energy surging around him, and even the sword energy stimulated by him, completely lost all contact with him in an instant.
It was as if at this moment, he lost all his power and became a complete invalid.
A look of horror and horror suddenly appeared on Zhao Zhongan's face.
As Su Anran took action, Song Baiye also took action at the same time.
A strange aura as thick as ink emanated overwhelmingly like a substance, trapping everyone in this darkness in an instant.
Regardless of whether they were those running to the left or those running to the right, even Zhao Zhongan, everyone could not help but have a look of despair on their faces.
Because they know that the person in front of them is an opponent they cannot win.
"City Lord Zhao, it's me."
But Su Anran had no intention of scaring the other party to death, so he quickly spoke and at the same time released his fingers to indicate that he was not hostile.
Song Baiye also released his own mysterious world at this time.
The vision of Zhao Zhongan and others suddenly returned to clarity.
Zhao Shucheng first glanced at Su Anran, then at Song Baiye, and then exclaimed: "It's you!"
Zhao Zhongan looked surprised: "Second uncle, do you know him?"
Su Anran smiled and nodded very reservedly.
"We know each other. These two are Miss Qingyu's guards." Zhao Shucheng introduced, "Miss Qingyu is the Su family's Qingyu. She comes from the Taiyi Sect in the West Desert. She is the woman I said before who wanted to do a business with us.
.These two are the escorts of that young lady, but I didn’t expect that the level of cultivation of the two gentlemen would be so high. I guess Miss Qingyu’s status in the Taiyi Sect is not simple either.”
Su Anran's expression froze.
Only then did he suddenly realize that on this trip, he was acting as Qingyu's escort.
