Deep in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, there are towering ancient trees.
Yi Yang was carrying Lu Qinglan on his back, Cloud-Treading Wind-Chasing Boots's blue light flashed under his feet, and his whole body was like a gray shadow, shuttling Forest.
"Cloud-Leaping Crane" His body movement was pushed to the extreme. His body rose and fell between the tree trunks a few times, and then swept away more than ten feet away. The speed was so fast that only an afterimage was left.
Lu Qinglan lay on his back and put his hands on his shoulders. He could clearly feel the tightness of the muscles on Yi Yang's shoulders and back, as well as the steady and powerful rhythm.
The reason why the two of them acted like this was to avoid the Demon Beast they encountered and to speed up their journey. After all, there was a huge gap between Yi Profound Connection Realm's movement skills and Lu Qinglan True Astral Realm's movement skills.
She turned her head and looked at the rapidly retreating tree shadows on both sides, feeling a surge of complicated emotions in her heart.
It's been three days.
After killing the two Dharma Body Realm monsters, they followed the direction Fatty Qian directed before his death and went all the way deep into the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains.
The deeper you go, the more furious the Demon Beast atmosphere around you becomes.
The day before yesterday, I encountered a Profound Connection Second Realm named "Azure-Eyed Demon Wolf". It had hair all over its body like steel needles and was incredibly fast.
Yi Yang didn't even pull out the knife, he directly activated "Nine Heavens Thunderclap Seal", and a "Awakening of Insects" fell from the sky, splitting the wolf to pieces on the spot, and fled in embarrassment.
Yesterday I encountered two Profound Mystery Third Realm's Dharma Body Realm Demon Beast - "Ironback Bear" and "Red Flame Fire Ape".
The two beasts were fighting over a Spirit Medicine plant, and they fought hard.
Yi Yang originally wanted to take a detour, but the fire ape sensed their aura and directly dropped his opponent and rushed towards them.
Lu Qinglan I remember clearly that the fire ape was surrounded by crimson flames Dharma Body, and one punch could break the ancient tree that the three of them were hugging.
But Yi Yang just looked at it coldly, held the knife in his right hand, and handed it out with "Vermilion Bird Burns the Flame".
The flame lotus exploded in mid-air, and thirty-six scorching Blade Astral Force rays intertwined into a network, forcibly suppressing the fire ape's Dharma Body flames, leaving a blood groove deep into the bone on its chest.
The fire ape was in pain, let out a shrill scream, turned around and ran away.
Yi Yang did not pursue, but continued on his way. The whole process was neat and tidy, not even half a stick of incense was wasted.
Lu Qinglan looked at his back, feeling shocked one after another.
She has been practicing with her grandfather since she was a child, and has seen many Profound Connection Realm strong people, but she has never heard of someone like Yi Yang who can crush Dharma Body Realm Demon Beast in the Profound Awakening realm.
What worries her even more is Yi Yang's attitude.
No matter what level of enemy he faces, he will always have that calm and indifferent expression on his face, and there is a hint of indifference in his eyes that can see through life and death.
It's like... he has long been accustomed to life and death fights.
The wind howled in my ears.
Lu Qinglan came back to his senses and found that the surrounding trees were getting taller and taller. The thick trunks were covered with dark green vines and moss, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance.
The aroma is very strange, it makes people Dantian feel hot, and their qi and blood speed up unconsciously.
"Master Yi." Lu Qinglan lowered his voice, "The fragrance in the air..."
"I know." Yi Yang's voice was deep, "The destination should be arriving soon."
Before he finished speaking, his feet stopped and he landed firmly on a thick branch.
Lu Qinglan got off his back and looked forward along Yi Yang's line of sight.
At the end of the dense forest ahead, an open land appeared. It was a valley surrounded by towering peaks. The mouth of the valley was narrow, but the interior was extremely wide. Visually, it measured at least a thousand feet in radius.
There are towering ancient trees in the valley, the most conspicuous of which is the huge Ironwood that stands a hundred feet high in the center of the valley.
The tree was surprisingly thick, with a trunk at least ten feet in diameter. The bark was a deep iron-grey color, and its surface was covered with ravine patterns left by time.
The crown of the tree is like a giant open umbrella, covering almost half of the sky in the valley.
But the strange thing is that the entire valley is too quiet. The beasts in the forest outside are roaring constantly, but in this valley there are no insects, no birds, not even the rustling of leaves in the wind.
Deathly silence.
Lu Qinglan gripped the dagger at his waist tightly, his palms covered with sweat.
This kind of silence made the hairs on her body stand on end.
"Something's wrong." Yi Yang squinted his eyes, and a golden light shone deep in his eyes.
Illusion-Breaking Perfection and Divine Sense came out of the body and turned into a large invisible net, spreading towards the inside of the valley.
The exploration range of 600 feet is enough to have a panoramic view of the entire valley.
Divine Sense passed over the ground, and Yi Yang saw clearly the things scattered in the valley.
That is the remains of Demon Beast.
Some only have a pile of white bones left, and the bones are covered with fine holes, as if they were drilled through by something; some flesh and blood are still there, but they are as shriveled as bacon, with the skin sticking tightly to the skeleton, and all the blood and essence in the body has been sucked out.
There are a lot of them, at least a dozen.
Judging from the size of the remains, the lowest level of cultivation during life was True Astral Realm, and there were even two surprisingly large skeletons, which should have been Profound Connection Realm and Demon Beast.
They are all dead.
Die quietly.
Yi Yang's Divine Sense continued to explore forward and landed on the huge Ironwood.
The surface of Ironwood's trunk is covered with vines, which are dark green and vary in thickness. Some are like human arms and some are like fingers. The vines are like living creatures, slowly crawling on the trunk, with a shiny sheen on the surface.
The leaves of the vine are maple leaf-shaped, but more pointed, with dark green leaves and dark red backs, which faintly emit a faint phosphorescence under dim light.
Yi Yang's pupils shrank suddenly.
This vine... is Demon Beast!
And it's an extremely rare plant type Demon Beast!
Yi Yang's breathing sank for half a minute, Divine Sense continued deeper, and he saw the highest point of the tree crown.
In the center of the overlapping branches and leaves, there is a main vine as thick as a human arm. The whole body is dark purple and almost black in color, and its surface is covered with a layer of fine barbs that are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
And in a depression formed by the entanglement of the main vine, a fruit the size of a fist hangs.
The peel is as red as blood jade, and the surface is covered with dark golden veins, which are pulsing slowly like blood vessels.
The light fragrance exuded by the fruit is the strange fragrance in the air that makes people's blood surge.
"That's..." Lu Qinglan also saw the fruit at the top of the tree crown and his eyes widened.
"Wood Spirit Soul Fruit." Yi Yang spat out three words with solemn eyes, "This is a treasure created by plant Demon Beast's lifelong essence. It will be of great help to warriors and Demon Beast to break through the realm."
Lu Qinglan wanted to ask again, but Yi Yang suddenly raised his hand and made a silence gesture.
His Divine Sense was locked underneath Ironwood, leaning against a person between the tangled tree roots. The man was wearing a gray gown Martial Garment, with sparse silver hair and a lean body. He leaned against the tree roots with his waist bent, and his face was as pale as paper.
Lu Qinglan followed Yi Yang's line of sight and was shocked.
"Grandpa!"
She exclaimed and subconsciously rushed forward.
