Five hundred and twenty-two chapters rotten roots
This time I stood there, and the beads of sweat that were thrown from my hands fell not far from the low mules, but they were still frightened and retreated again.
I looked at my palms, and not only had beads of sweat, but also some darkened liquid, which was the monster's blood.
When the monster's chest was pierced, not only did the demonic energy gush out along the wound, but its blood also splattered on me when I pounced on it.
What the short mule fears is not the Fantian Seal, but the blood of the monster!
I really thought I was going to be finished just now, but I didn't expect the dirty blood on the monster to save my life.
I remember Master Xia often said, "The cycle of reincarnation in the heavens has its own fixed numbers." In the past, I had deep doubts about this sentence, but now, I gradually believe it.
Sometimes things like life and death depend on fate.
I smiled and shook my head, put away the Fantian Seal, picked up the flashlight, turned around and walked towards the depths of the cave.
The short mules behind me did not follow, and the blood that I scattered on the ground became the boundary of the forbidden zone. They kept looking at me from afar, but did not dare to step beyond the line.
Back near the monster's corpse, Liang Houzai and the others were gone. I turned the monster's body over and let it face the ground so that its blood could flow out along the wounds in front of my chest. The short mule might chase after him, but a large amount of dirty blood would definitely block them.
I let out a long sigh and continued to move towards the depths. On the way, I deliberately accelerated my pace, hoping to meet Liang Houzai and Erye Zhang.
The Qinggang Sword is with Master Jian Er, and I can only have the Fantian Seal on my belt. Without the Qinggang Sword in my hand, I always feel uncomfortable all over, just like a broken arm, and even the center of gravity when I walk is not so stable.
Although I also know that the reason why it is difficult to maintain balance is because the previous battles consumed a lot of physical strength.
Demon corpses and evil gods will definitely be more difficult than monsters. I wonder if we can still fight them with our current situation.
About half an hour later, those familiar backs finally appeared in front of me.
I held the flashlight in my hand and illuminated them. Liu Shangang stopped early in the morning and watched me.
Mr. Zhang also turned his head and shouted at me: "Has the short mule been dealt with?"
I walked up to them and said what had just happened. As I listened to my statement, they couldn't help but feel a little.
Mr. Zhang said that this time we might not be dead, and the evil gods and demon corpses should not do anything to us. I knew that he said this to improve morale, but when I heard these words, I still felt relieved.
I was thinking, maybe Mr. Zhang was right, our fate should not be lost this time.
When Du Kang learned that the short mule had been blocked by the monster's blood, he suggested that he rest on the spot first, eat something to restore his energy.
We should indeed take a break. If we use this physical ability to face the demon corpses and evil gods, we will be destroyed in almost every battle.
I sensed the Qi field of the demon corpse and the evil god. They were still entrenched in the depths of the cave, and there was no change compared to before.
"Stay for half an hour, stand and rest, don't sit down." My words behind me were actually saying to Lao Yang. If I sit down now, I may not be able to stand up later.
After that, Liu Shangang and I took out the compressed biscuits and we all divided them together. There was still a small amount of water in Liang Houzai and Du Kang.
In fact, the food and water in the backpack of Erye Jae-Second Master Jae-Second Master Jae-Second Master Jae-Second Master Jae-Second Master Jae-Second Master Jae-Second Master Jae-Second Master Jae-Second Master Jae-Second Master Jae-Second Master Jae-Second Master Jae-Second Master Jae-Second Master Jae-Second Master Jae-Second Master Jae-Second Master Jae-Second Master Jae-Second Master Jae-Second Master Jae-Second Master Jae-Second Master Jae-Second Master Jae-Second Master Jae-Second Master Jae-Second Master Jae-Second Master Jae-Second Master Jae-Second Master Jae-Second Master Ja
In the realm of the evil god, we couldn't recognize the time. We rested until our breath stabilized and then drove out again. Mr. Zhang returned the green steel sword to me. I wrapped the hilt and scabbard in gauze and hung them on my belt.
After a while, the air in the cave became hot and dry, and a strange rotten smell spread on the walls of the caves on both sides. It was a smell of baking and acetic acid mixed together, like a stench emitted from a severely rotten apple, which was very pungent.
Lao Yang was obviously very uncomfortable with this smell. I saw him frowning constantly and pinch his nose with his hands from time to time.
The more you move forward, the more you get, the air becomes hotter and the sour and corrosive smell becomes heavier.
Mr. Zhang took the initiative to ask Du Kang for the first time: "What does this taste like?"
Du Kang thought for a while and said, "It should be the rotten holy tree root."
Liu Shangang also spoke: "Aren't they all burned up?"
Du Kang shook his head and said, "I suspect that before the accident in Dazhai, the holy tree should have started to rot, and the rotten roots are near the mountain pass where the mountain demon is. Remember, when the accident happened at the mountain pass, the great witch called the Black King to the wall of the village and told him that something happened to the holy tree."
Liang Houzai: "Maybe it was because the holy tree had its roots rotten that the mountain monsters changed. What happened in the Dazhai village was a chain reaction after the holy tree had its roots rotten."
Du Kang: "The spiritual charm of the holy tree penetrates into the earth, its roots are ulcerated, and the entire valley will be affected, and the mountain demon cannot be immune to it. It is also possible that the roots of the mountain demon are connected to the roots of the holy tree. After the holy tree rots its roots, its roots are corroded, so it becomes manic. However, I think that the roots of the holy tree rots are one reason. The Han people who act weirdly cannot be separated from the change of the mountain demon."
Speaking of this, Du Kang paused for a while before saying, "In fact, most of the evil gods are born from humans."
I kept listening to their conversation silently, but didn't interrupt during this period, just walked forward.
After witnessing so many things in this ancient valley, I always have a feeling that Luo Youfang deliberately led me here, and he seemed to want to tell me something.
Although the person who spread evil magic in the Bohai generation was not Luo Youfang, he was the leader of Ashiya Masashi. It can be speculated that perhaps Ashiya Masashi's actions were all instructed by Luo Youfang.
It is precisely because of these evil techniques that I can join forces with Boss Dong and meet the Han man in the memory of the evil god - the old man who looks like Luo Youfang.
But what exactly did Luo Youfang want to tell me? Why did he do so much effort?
What makes me even more incomprehensible is why he told me the quorums of those large tombs, what exactly he wants to do?
"Brother Dao, there is something happening in front of me." Liu Shangang suddenly came to me and whispered to me.
I immediately stopped and listened with my ears on my side, but I couldn't hear anything, so I asked Liu Shangang: "What kind of voice?"
Liu Shangang: "It can't be described as a very broken sound, it's like a lot of snakes crawling on the ground."
Many snakes crawl on the ground, can't they be earthworms?
When I think of those huge earthworms, I can't help feeling nauseous.
Liu Shangang asked me: "Why should I go ahead and explore the situation first?"
I shook my head: "Now we are very close to the evil god and the demon corpse, don't act alone."
Liu Shangang returned to the team to take care of Lao Yang, and I asked everyone to continue moving forward.
Everyone's steps were light. We listened while walking, but the very broken sound from Liu Shangang's mouth did not appear.
The Qi field of the demonic energy and evil gods no longer changed after reaching a certain concentration. I walked for a long time, but I felt like I was walking in the same place.
Liu Shangang came to me again and said to me, "Brother Dao, we seem to have been going around in circles since the beginning."
I stopped and looked at Liu Shangang. He raised his hand and pointed to the hole wall on the right, and continued, "The sound came from here. We just walked forward and got farther and farther away from it, but now it seems that we have returned to our original place, and the sound has become louder again."
After hearing what he said, I pressed half of my face against the wall of the hole and listened carefully for a while, but still heard nothing.
Liu Shangang said again: "We seem to be really going around in circles."
I replied, "I know." and then fumbled on the hole wall.
The hole wall gives me a bit weird. When the headlight light shines on it, the potholes and reflections on the hole wall indicate that there is no other thing attached to it. However, when my hands touch it, I feel that there are a lot of roots attached to the stone wall, and the roots seem to have cracked and skinned. In addition, the moisture here is very heavy, so it feels weird to touch.
I took two steps back and shone the hole wall with a flashlight, and there was really nothing on it.
Something is wrong, something is not right.
At this time, Liang Houzai's muttering reminded me: "Why can't I feel the corpse when I get here?"
Yes, there is only the Qi field of demonic energy and evil gods in this place, but there is only the corpse energy. This is indeed a very strange thing. The key is that I don’t know when the corpse energy disappeared, as if it was not the corpse energy that disappeared, but... my ability to perceive this Qi field.
I tried to sense the Qi field again. There was indeed no corpse energy, and the purity of the demonic energy seemed to have a momentum that surpassed the evil god Qi field.
"It should be the demonic energy here that affects our senses." I said to Liang Houzai.
Liang Houzai immediately took out a few evil-proof talismans from his backpack and stuck them on the wall of the cave.
In just one moment, the spiritual rhyme on these evil-proof talismans were quickly consumed. The rapid consumption of spiritual rhyme would cause the talisman to catch fire without any reason. Those evil-proof talismans are now burning with sparks and burning rapidly on the cave wall.
Liang Houzai couldn't help but exclaim: "What a heavy evil qi field."
I untied the fire silk cloth and placed the Fantian Seal on the ground. The fire-dry Qi field of Fantian Seal immediately spread in the cave. Although this Qi field is not central and will make people feel upset, it can also prevent evil qi from entering.
Soon, the Qi field of Fantian Seal occupied a small area in the cave, forming a small... barrier, let's call it a barrier. Anyway, neither the demonic energy nor the evil god's Qi field could enter this area.
I looked back at Lao Yang. He obviously found it difficult to adapt to the impatientness of Fantian Yin and was walking anxiously.
The inability of evil energy into it does not mean that I cannot sense them. On the contrary, as the demonic energy is driven away by the Qi field of Fantian Seal, my sense of various Qi fields becomes sharper again. I can feel that outside the Qi field of Fantian Seal, the corpse energy appears again. And some changes have occurred in the cave wall in front of us.
The originally bare stone walls had vein-like roots, which covered every inch of the stone walls. The thickest sections of the roots had been peeled and rotten, while the small roots surrounding them were very smooth.
