After asking for clues from Nan Fengjie, Su Anran stopped staying, grabbed him directly, and then left the city.
Nan Fengjie felt that the person in front of him was simply a lunatic.
But he really couldn't defeat the opponent, and now that his own life was in the opponent's hands, he naturally had no room for resistance and could only accept his fate and lead the way.
So two days later, Su Anran came to the entrance of a cave.
This cave is in the shadow of a mountain wall, surrounded by weeds and vines, and there are several trees nearby that break out of the cracks in the mountain wall. Therefore, if there were not some special search methods, there would be no way to find it.
It is impossible to find the entrance to this crypt.
The corridor at the entrance is a slope that slides downward. The passage space is not large and there are many potholes around it.
Su Anran could tell at a glance that this passage was probably not for normal people to pass, but for those crawling spiders he had seen before.
Seeing this, Su Anran finally understood how those parasites escaped by escaping underground.
The spider monsters that travel with the parasites are obviously controlled by these parasites, and their duty is to act as logistical baggage, specifically responsible for transporting the corpses of other monks and transporting the parasites close to the battlefield.
This is also the reason why the monks failed to detect the parasites in time when they raided the Wushui Kingdom camp.
After all, monsters are so common in Beiling, so the monks in this area have an inertial thinking: try not to provoke monsters and ferocious beasts in the mountains, especially the gregarious ones. So when they found a group of people outside the camp
When the monsters passed by, they must have been trying to avoid an encounter with this group of monsters. They never thought of monks attacking the camp, so there was naturally a loophole in their defense.
"Can you go back by yourself?" Su Anran glanced at Nan Fengjie, who was captured by him to lead the way.
"You...are you kidding me?" Nan Fengjie was stunned for a moment, then became furious, "Monsters and beasts are everywhere in the Wushui Mountains. There are countless ferocious beasts. With my current injury, can I get out of here?
?”
"Then ask for help." Su Anran was too lazy to talk nonsense, "I want to go down and take a look."
"You..." Nan Fengjie was stunned for a moment, but his expression soon became weird, "I advise you not to show off... Maybe you are very strong, and you may have touched the level of land gods.
But these strange creatures are not ordinary creatures. Otherwise, why would we, the Northern Tang Dynasty, need to join forces with the Kunlun faction to prevent these things from going south? It would be better for you to wait until the masters of my family arrive."
Su Anran glanced at the other party, then shook his head: "That's because you are too weak."
"you……"
After saying this, Su Anran didn't say much, jumped into the cave, and began to slide down the tunnel.
The true energy emitted along Su Anran's meridians and quickly protected his whole body.
As the corridor goes deeper, the surrounding environment becomes darker and darker.
In this special environment, ordinary monks will rely more on the coverage of divine consciousness. After all, not all monks have the special ability to see in the dark - at least, not all monks in the Tianyuan Secret Realm have mastered this skill.
, so in some relatively special environments, they will rely more on their own spiritual perception ability, which is actually similar to that of Xuanjie monks.
So what Nan Fengjie said before, although his tone was indeed not very good, was not sarcasm.
However, he did not expect that Su Anran would be special.
A gleam of bright light, like starlight, lit up in Su Anran's eyes.
There was only one flicker, and then the bright starlight fell silent again, but Su Anran had gained the ability to see in the dark.
About half an hour later, Su Anran saw that the width of the corridor suddenly increased.
A feeling of weightlessness suddenly came from his back.
Su Anran immediately realized that she had left the tunnel.
Then his true energy was released instantly, and his whole person was suspended in mid-air.
As far as the eye can see, there is a huge hemispherical space.
The dome is hundreds of meters away from the ground, and the area is so large that it is impossible to see everything at a glance.
There are dozens of corridors on the mountain wall of the spherical space. The corridor Su Anran came in before is just one of these corridors. However, each of these corridors is two to three hundred meters above the ground, and below the corridor
But it was sprinkled with some dark powder, which seemed to blend into the environment in the dark space, making it difficult to identify.
Su Anran didn't know what these powders were, but he knew they were definitely not good things.
At this moment, he was suspended in the air, scanning everything in the cave with cold eyes.
His consciousness cannot cover the entire space, as if there is some force that is constantly suppressing the spread of his consciousness, which makes Su Anran's consciousness can barely maintain within a hundred meters - one hundred meters up, down, left and right.
, rather than a square circle. Therefore, Su Anran could only feel the situation around him, and could not sense it at all if it was farther away. Even the distance between the dome and the ground was measured by his eyes.
But the parasite hiding in this cave at the moment doesn't know this.
The ground of this lair is not a flat land. There are countless small peaks scattered with heights of tens to hundreds of meters. The ground is not thick land, but a kind of moist soft soil, because Su Anran can feel it.
The humidity in the air is not low, and there are various smells similar to rotten leaves.
Many monks were hiding here at this time, staring at Su Anran with cold eyes.
Not to mention that these monks can no longer be regarded as human beings, even among humans, there are techniques such as turtle breath that can make people lurk in the ground and water for a long time, so they lurk in the moist slush and soft soil.
It's just as comfortable as coming home.
Su Anran slowly landed on the ground.
As he gradually descended, he began to notice that the air around him was a little turbid and heavy, and the aura around him seemed a little...
heavy.
Su Anran frowned and her expression suddenly turned cold.
He already knew what those powders were.
poison.
A special poisonous powder that can make the surrounding spiritual energy inert and thus affect the performance of the monks' strength. Coupled with Beiling's unique environment that suppresses the monks' spiritual consciousness, these parasitic bodies simply occupy the nest when they build a nest here.
Natural location.
At the moment when Su Anran was slightly distracted, several rays of black light suddenly flashed towards Su Anran.
"snort."
Su Anran snorted coldly.
Sword energy burst out of the air.
A weird and bizarre scream was heard, and several black shadows completely exploded in mid-air, and a foul smell instantly emitted.
Su Anran could see clearly that the black shadows that had just rushed toward her were actually several small spider monsters.
On other occasions, it would not matter even if the spider monsters got close to him, but Su Anran knew very well what his opponent was, so he did not dare to let these spider monsters get close to him, otherwise the consequences would be quite unimaginable.
And as Su Anran began to move around this underground lair, the spider monsters lurking here began to attack Su Anran one after another.
But it is a pity that within a hundred meters, Su Anran's sword energy can be born out of thin air at will, so there is no need to fear these spider monsters.
However, after this brief trial, Su Anran also understood that these spider monsters that attacked him should not be parasitic. They were more like a defense mechanism similar to jumping mines: they only attack when the enemy passes through the defense zone.
They will launch an attack. Although I don’t know what the consequences will be if they stick to the body, but if another person is here, even if they can block these spider monsters, they will not get any benefits.
Because once these spider monsters die, their bodies will begin to emit a putrid gas.
This kind of gas can make people feel a little disgusting at best, but combined with the poisonous powder everywhere in this lair, it will become a poisonous gas that quickly burns the true energy in the monk's body, and also has some slight hallucinogenic effects.
——Compared to poison gas, these hallucinogenic effects are not worth mentioning. At best, they can only make people feel trance-like for a moment.
But if a monk really enters here, and then kills these jumping spiders by luck, and then happens to run out of energy, what will be the end?
food.
Such a term suddenly appeared in Su Anran's mind.
After walking like this for more than a quarter of an hour, Su Anran found that there were finally no spider monsters around that kept sending them to death.
But the surrounding air is colder and the surrounding humidity is also greater.
This cold atmosphere has little impact on Su Anran. Even the poisonous gas in the previous area cannot burn the true energy in Su Anran's body, but it is inevitable that his true energy cannot be replenished.
.However, Su Anran carries a lot of elixirs, almost all of which are in tanks, and can be used in various environments, so he does not particularly care about this.
But the moment Su Anran stepped into this area, monks began to come out one after another from different directions around him.
They, or they.
There is no trace of life at all, and the cold temperament emanating from the whole body is perfectly integrated with the environment. Even if the positions of several of the monks happen to be within the range of Su Anran's spiritual perception, they appear in the
Su Anran's spiritual consciousness is not a "living thing", but more like a cold stone - if Su Anran's spiritual consciousness is not extremely powerful, I am afraid that he cannot even feel this "stone".
At this moment, Su Anran was somewhat grateful and grateful to Huang Zi for letting him practice the "Forging God Technique" to strengthen his spiritual consciousness.
A stone moved.
A parasitic monk who happened to be within the range of Su Anran's spiritual consciousness suddenly launched an attack on Su Anran.
It's extremely fast.
Almost the moment Su Anran noticed that the opponent was moving, it had already crossed a distance of hundreds of meters and came directly to Su Anran's back. Then the nails on the five fingers of his right hand instantly lengthened, as if he was holding five sharp knives.
Stabbed Su Anran's heart.
But at the moment when the other party's figure appeared, Su Anran took a step forward as if he had already anticipated the other party's actions; and then at the moment when the other party took action due to habitual thinking, Su Anran turned slightly to one side and then
Easily avoided the attack of this parasite.
At the same time, almost as soon as Su Anran turned sideways, a sword energy appeared in front of the parasite's eyebrows.
The parasitic body leaned forward due to excessive force. At this time, it seemed as if the parasitic body was committing suicide and bumped its head against the sword energy.
The next moment, sword energy came out of his head.
"squeak--"
In an instant, harsh and unpleasant screams came one after another.
Su Anran took a quick glance and saw that the screams like insects were coming from the monks around her.
Su Anran's face completely darkened.
The fourth generation.
In the infection chain of the Soul-Splitting Mountain Spider, the fourth generation can no longer be regarded as its descendants. They will only be regarded as food reserves, not even tools, because they have no wisdom at all, and even they
Their own instincts are not real self-instincts, but a kind of operating logic given to them by the third or second generation. They are like real puppets and can only "act according to orders".
At this time, Su Anran looked around and saw hundreds of fourth-generation parasites around him, which meant that there were at least hundreds of third-generation parasites in this lair.
Unlike the parasites of the fourth generation, the parasites of the third generation still retain a considerable degree of intelligence. Although they only have the ability to infect and produce food reserves once in their lifetime, because of the retention of intelligence, even if they lose the ability to infect
, they can still be used as tools.
The parasites that had previously attacked the Wushui Kingdom's camp and were hunting down the Zhao family, Nan Fengjie and others were none other than these third-generation parasites.
Only they will have enough wisdom to judge the situation, plan and execute tasks, collect corpses, and even choose to commit suicide neatly when they see that something must be done to prevent the enemy from pursuing them.
Su Anran felt a chill in her heart.
It was not the influence of the surrounding environment on him, but he discovered that the Soul-Splitting Demonic Mountain Spider, which had been hiding and developing in the Tianyuan Secret Territory for twenty years, might have really become powerful.
There was a strange rustling sound.
In the darkness, a huge shadow as high as a mountain slowly approached Su Anran.
Su Anran raised her head and stared.
This is a rather large spider beast.
Mountain spider.
This kind of ferocious beast is not a product of the Tianyuan Secret Realm, but a ferocious beast that only exists in the Xuan Realm.
But this kind of ferocious beast has been extinct for a long time, because it is a ferocious beast that can only be born by the Soul-Splitting Demon Mountain Spider - in the Soul-Splitting Demon Mountain Spider, "splitting the soul" refers to splitting the soul and creating a parasite, and
"Mountain" refers to the guardian spiders responsible for protecting and guarding the Soul-Splitting Mountain Spider. The mountain spider cannot represent "mountain" because it is just one of the manifestations of "mountain".
But Su Anran obtained relevant knowledge from Qingyu.
So he knew that wherever mountain spiders appeared, there would be a second generation of parasites.
That is, the first generation of infected people.
Or rather.
The first generation of parasites.
On the back of the mountain spider's head and chest, a child wearing a red robe is sitting on it.
It looked at Su Anran with a smile, but its young face revealed an unspeakable evil spirit.
When this child appeared here, all the surrounding fourth-generation parasites stopped screaming, but they still stared at Su Anran with extremely hateful eyes, as if they wanted to rip off his skin and bones.
In the air, there was a sudden flash of cold light.
The bright sword light suddenly burst out, and then turned into a frantic air current, raging in all directions.
These air currents are not simply air currents flowing, but violent sword energy.
At this very moment, this child had already had a confrontation with Su Anran.
But obviously, this child failed to suppress Su Anran, but was counterattacked by Su Anran's sword energy.
So at this moment, the child finally had to stretch out a small hand and make a virtual pressure gesture in the air.
For a moment, the violent airflow was suppressed.
The sound of splashing sparks and clanging metal is endless to the eyes and ears.
That was the state where the hidden spider silk of this first-generation parasite was clashing with Su Anran's sword energy.
After a while, everything returned to tranquility.
Those fourth-generation parasites have retreated to nowhere.
In this area, only the mountain spider, the first-generation parasite on its back, and Su Anran were left.
"You are very powerful." The first-generation parasite's eyes shone brightly, "If I take you back, my ancestors will be happy!"
Su Anran remained silent.
Because of the fight just now, he had already discovered the strength of the child in front of him.
It has almost reached the level of the Xuanjie Taoji realm.
Perhaps in the Tianyuan Secret Realm, it has about half the strength of a land immortal, slightly worse than Su Anran.
But now, the surrounding environment is its geographical advantage and its domain, so the power it can exert is hardly inferior to Su Anran.
