"Master He never said that something like this would happen in the sea of ​​ancient trees!"

Outside the mysterious mirror, a man in white robes stood up angrily: "Now that such a commotion has occurred, I'm afraid four people will have to stay there!"

Someone sighed and said: "What's more, the secret realm of Xiaochong Mountain only allows Jindan monks to enter. We can't interfere at all. We can only wait for the secret realm to close automatically in two days and send the disciples out. It's so dangerous, what should we do?"

He Xiaochen's brows were furrowed, and he no longer had the calm and calm posture before. He stared intently at the extremely strange scene of the forest of ancient trees in the Xuanjing: "Xiaozhong Mountain has been opened many times, and this has never happened before. The ten thousand-year-old dragon's blood tree is not

It seems like he has become a spirit, but rather like... he is possessed by a demon."

The scene fell into a stalemate for a while, and in the silence, a woman's leisurely smile suddenly sounded: "You elders are too unsure of your disciples, right? Even though the changes in the ancient forest sea are dangerous, those who are sent into the secret realm are all

If the most powerful young talents in each sect cannot even solve this problem and then leave the sect and go down the mountain, how will they find a foothold?"

The speaker was surprisingly Concubine Qu from Niguang Island.

Her voice was lazy, her smooth-skinned right hand was playing with her long hanging hair, and there was no hint of panic in her expression.

The female cultivator said with a smile: "The lives of those trapped disciples are not in danger at the moment. We might as well calm down and see how others will respond - I have met several interesting children, and I really want to

I wonder how they will perform next."

The world of self-cultivation is unpredictable, and opportunities and evil opportunities often follow each other. Everyone will inevitably encounter life-threatening dangers in the process of practicing Taoism. How to deal with and escape depends entirely on personal nature.

The changes in the ancient forest sea are also part of it.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces showed a slightly hesitant look.

"However, as soon as she heard the news that her junior brother was killed, Ning Ning entered the forest regardless of her own safety."

Qu Feiqing casually put a grape into her mouth, leaned lazily on the back of the chair, raised her eyes and glanced at Tianxianzi: "The relationship between the young disciples of Elder Tianxian is really good."

Tian Xianzi smiled, also looking forward to it: "Ning Ning, we can't expect her to act according to common sense."

The female cultivator took it quite seriously and gave a low "hmm".

In the sea of ​​ancient trees and forests, blood is overflowing.

The rich crimson blood mist is as misty as smoke, entangled in the quiet air. The vegetation that originally exuded a light blue or light green light seems to have been soaked in blood. Although it still swallows dim light, it has turned into a suppressed dark red.

Ning Ning was still trying to ask the system in her mind, but the latter always seemed to be blocked and did not respond at all.

The further you go inside, the more bizarre and terrifying the scene becomes.

The tree vines flew up and down, and several branches as thick as a child's arm reflected the crazy shadows of demons dancing wildly, like the ferocious knuckles of evil spirits, constantly lashing the ground.

Not only the vines, but also the flowers and plants seem to have self-awareness. The petals open and close unscrupulously. Against the backdrop of the crimson light, it reminds people of red eyes peeping in the dark and blinking quietly.

After the battle between immortals and demons, the demonic forces were severely weakened, and there was no news for a long time. As a place where spiritual energy gathers, the ancient wood forest sea now produces an endless stream of demonic energy... The reason is really thought-provoking.

Ning Ning swung her sword again and cut off a vine that came from behind.

From time to time, you can see disciples from various sects escaping in a hurry, but she is the only one walking in against the crowd. The girl's figure is slender but firm, like a sharp sword, cutting a completely different path from others in the red mist.

--wrong.

Walking in with her, there was another female nun.

She was a girl wearing the uniform of the Wanjian Sect. Her appearance was pure and beautiful, as cold as frost. Under her eyebrows as cold as the wind, her thin lips were pursed into a straight arc, showing no emotion or anger.

She obviously noticed Ning Ning and turned her head expressionlessly: "Wan Jian Zong, Su Qinghan."

It was their first time meeting each other, and this announcement of their family status was unexpected. But thinking of Su Qinghan's character design, Ning Ning didn't feel so surprised.

As the daughter of an elder of the Wanjian Sect, this eldest lady has been destined to be famous and proud since she was born. Naturally, she has developed a proud and arrogant character.

She is a very typical swordsman, she doesn't speak coldly to others, she draws her sword whenever she disagrees with others, and she loves to challenge others to a duel.

He is very straightforward when dealing with people, and he doesn't want to look twice at people he doesn't like. On the contrary, if he wants to get acquainted, he will naturally take the initiative to strike up a conversation without hesitation.

Now that everyone else has fled, only the two of them dare to go against the crowd. Based on this alone, Su Qinghan is willing to make friends with the other party no matter how good his sword skills are.

Ning Ning smiled at her: "Xuanxu Sword Sect, Ning Ning. Hello."

Su Qinghan looked calm and nodded in greeting: "It turns out to be Junior Sister Ningning, who is under Elder Tianxian's sect. I wonder why Junior Sister entered the forest this time?"

"I heard that a junior brother was trapped by a ten-thousand-year-old dragon blood tree, and I wanted to rescue him."

She touched the tip of her nose with some embarrassment: "I did it out of personal love, there is nothing to say. Senior Sister Su must be here to get rid of demons, right?"

Su Qinghan shook his head: "Junior sister Ning Ning, there is no need to belittle yourself. You are willing to risk your own life for your fellow disciples, which is beyond the reach of others."

This girl talks in a refined manner, and she doesn't look like a swordsman anymore.

"Nowadays, there are sudden changes in the ancient forest sea, and the evil spirit is overflowing. I heard that the first one to hurt people was the dragon's blood tree. This accident is probably inseparable from it."

Su Qinghan added: "You want to save people, and I want to eliminate demons. We want to come to the same destination by different routes, but we have to go to the Dragon Blood Tree."

Ning Ning nodded and said "Yeah".

As the color of the forest gets darker, the evil spirit becomes stronger.

By the time the two of them could see the strong branches of the dragon's blood tree, the oppressive feeling brought by the demonic energy had become as strong as a physical thing, like a heavy boulder pressing on the heart, making it difficult to even breathe.

Compared with what Lin Hai once looked like, this place has become an inhumane purgatory.

The squirming branches of the trees resembled thick snakes. Some were quietly lurking underground, while others were suspended majestically in the air. The blood-like red mist gathered into a sheet, giving Ningning an illusion that she was in a trance.

In the scarlet sea water.

Several monks were wrapped in layers of rattan, forming airtight cocoons. Su Qinghan told her in a low voice that it was the demon clan's way of absorbing spiritual power. The imprisoned people would not die, but would become Yuanyuan.

Endless nourishment.

As for the dragon blood tree in the center——

Ning Ning has never seen such a big tree.

It is as tall as the sky, and the canopy that covers the sky and the sun is lush and emerald. A strange deep red color oozes from the tops of the leaves, as if they were injured and bleeding. The lush leaves are airtight, and not a trace of moonlight slips in. Under the cracked tree trunks are ancient

The thick roots of the tree slowly opened like huge claws and grasped the scarlet soil under the tree.

The intensity of the demonic energy was beyond her imagination.

Ning Ning frowned secretly, considering the cultivation level of this tree, I am afraid that even if she joins forces with Su Qinghan, she may not be its opponent.

——After all, I am more than 10,000 years old, so I always have two brushes.

She held her breath and concentrated, and when she saw a scene not far from the dragon blood tree, her heart skipped a beat.

The young man dressed in black was not surrounded by trees and vines, but was covered in blood and gritted his teeth to resist.

That's really Pei Ji.

Pei Ji's current situation is really not good, and he has almost been forced into a desperate situation.

The vines became more and more frustrated, attacking him non-stop like a wave. Although most of them were cut off by the long sword, there were still a few that cruelly cut through the skin, leaving strings of deep bones visible.

The hideous bloodstains.

His features were unclear in the blood mist, and Ning Ning could only see his dark shadow and the blood splashed out when his body was broken open, which was thicker than the blood spreading in the forest.

Pei Ji must have been exhausted physically, and his spiritual power was even less. But even so, he was still resisting desperately, with swords flying, and his back always straight, reminiscent of a thin but tall green pine.

Several venomous snake-like vines attacked from all directions, but Pei Ji's spiritual power was no longer enough to use the sword light to divide.

His arms, calves and neck were tightly entangled with vines, and the sharp thorns on the branches pierced his skin. He gritted his teeth without making a sound, still holding the sword tightly in his hand, and the blood in his eyes surged like a tide.

He was almost surrounded by layers of vines.

"Sister Su."

Ning Ning pondered for a moment and heard the message: "Dealing with the Dragon Blood Tree needs long-term consideration. Before that, can you do me a favor?"

She said and thought for a while: "Senior sister, these naturally formed monsters have not yet developed their intelligence, are they not very smart?"

*

The dracaena handles its new prey with ease.

The winding branches dug tightly into the flesh, and more vines continued to come up, like vicious dogs that had not eaten for a long time, scrambling to pounce on the food.

The scarred young man was almost a bloody man. The sword in his hand hummed lowly, but he no longer had the strength to resist.

Seeing that there were more and more vines, and they were about to swallow up Pei Ji, suddenly a snow-white sword light flashed not far away, suddenly piercing the overwhelming blood mist.

The circling branches were stunned for a moment, and then collectively turned their direction.

The Dragon Blood Tree has been around for thousands of years and requires a lot of spiritual energy, so there are not many trees growing around it to avoid being deprived of nutrients. In the surrounding circle of light green grass, there is a young girl standing.

.

Ning Ning raised her chin and smiled coldly and arrogantly: "I thought it was such an amazing monster, but it turned out to be just a tree. If I kill you, will the mutation end?"

Yellow-mouthed kid!

The branches and vines lying on the ground suddenly rose up after hearing the words, and they all jumped into the air and made an offensive posture. Ning Ning became the target of public criticism, but he was not afraid, but drew his sword with a calm expression.

The fight with Pei Ji consumed most of its patience. This time the vines did not attack one by one, but gathered into a huge net and rushed straight towards her.

When he was about to touch her, Ning Ning unexpectedly smiled and said in a deep voice: "Senior Sister Su, now!"

——It’s a lie!
