Chapter 381

This day.

Chu Xuan met with Shang Xingchen and Wei Ji.

Shang Xingchen brought some disturbing news.

The first news is that there are more hard tree roots.

At first, they only appeared around the city.

It is now seen everywhere.

Although the newly emerged tree roots are still very weak, they cannot withstand their extremely fast growth.

If you don't notice them for a day or two, they will become incredibly hard.

The Yuanying monk's spells can't hurt him at all.

The second news is that these tree roots actually started to manipulate the corpses!

"I specially caught one and brought it here."

Shang Xingchen threw something on the ground with a solemn expression.

Henry Chu took a closer look.

The whole body is dark, the body is not big, and the whole body is covered with scales.

Isn't this exactly the Microcrocodile?

However, there was a huge sword wound on the waist of this Microcrocodile, which directly split it into two parts.

However, there are actually slender tree roots wriggling at the incision, sewing the upper and lower parts together like silk threads.

The dead crocodile stood up again.

The aggression is even worse than before.

As soon as it landed, it suddenly rushed towards Wei Ji.

Shang Xingchen was already prepared. He pulled the chain in his hand suddenly and tightly bound this weird underworld crocodile.

Shang Xingchen said solemnly, "Other monks have seen similar situations, and they call them wooden corpses."

"These wooden corpses have a strong desire to attack, far more than ancient beasts, and they attack anyone they see without fear."

Henry Chu nodded slightly.

This should be the corpse controlled by the Taotie Tree.

The purpose...perhaps is to use these wooden corpses to obtain more nutrients.

The Micro-Underworld Crocodile in front of him was controlled by the Taotie Tree. After being resurrected, it only had the strength of the early stage of the Golden Core.

But as time goes by, perhaps the strength will become stronger and stronger.

Shang Xingchen raised three fingers and said in a deep voice, "The third news is that Tiansan City disappeared and a dark palace appeared in its place."

Wei Ji followed closely and said, "Let's go and take a look from a distance. The palace has an evil aura, and it is closely related to the demonic path like us."

After hearing the description, Henry Chu was thoughtful.

Now he recalls what happened that day in Tiansan City, and still feels frightened.

So he concluded almost instantly that the sudden appearance of the dark palace must be related to the old monster.

Wei Ji couldn't help but said, "The dark palace looks like it was left by a giant of demonic power. If we can gain something from it..."

He looked longingly.

The treasures left behind by the giants of the devil, whether they are skills or secret techniques, or elixirs, talismans, or magic weapons.

Even the inheritance of magic!

They are definitely rare treasures.

How could he not be excited?

On the contrary, Shang Xingchen did not lose his composure too much.

If you have a treasure, you must have a life to take it.

When Huangquan Dao Zongsi was born in the Ghost Palace, his brother Shang Tianjue used this move to absorb a large number of monks' souls and flesh.

As a veteran, he would not just venture into an unknown place casually.

Who knows whether what is waiting for them there is a treasure trove of treasures everywhere, or a bloody mouth waiting for ignorant people to enter rashly.

"How about it, Sect Master, are you going or not?" Wei Ji looked expectant.

Henry Chu shook his head, "I'm not good at fighting, so I won't go."

Wei Ji was stunned.

I thought you were just talking.

I didn’t expect you to take it seriously!

It’s okay to lie to your buddies, but don’t lie to yourself!

He couldn't help but ask again, "You really don't want to go?"

Henry Chu said, “I won’t go, I really won’t go, I’m really not good at fighting.”

Wei Ji had a troubled expression on his face.

If you are not good at fighting, what will happen to me?

I'll kill you if I find a piece of tofu!

Shang Xingchen couldn't help but look at Henry Chu a few more times, thoughtfully.

He suddenly said, "Master Tianhe and Tianmozi are planning to enter the dark palace, so let's not join in the fun."

"It saves time and it becomes a stepping stone for others."

"Fellow Daoist Wei, don't go either."

Wei Ji was stunned for a moment, "I want to go! I'm different from the two of you. My qualifications are not good enough. If I want to challenge the gods, I have to seize the opportunity."

Shang Xingchen shook his head, "You are not allowed to go, I'm afraid you will die inside."

Wei Ji looked stunned.

If you don't go, why won't you let me go?

Are you afraid I'll die inside?

Why are you so concerned about me all of a sudden?

It's so heart-warming.

Shang Xingchen said calmly, "If you die inside, who will repair the damaged puppets?"

Wei Ji, "...I knew it."

In the end, Wei Ji was moved by Shang Xingchen to show his affection and reason, and chose to stay in the stronghold instead of going into this muddy water.

…

Zhongling Stone Mine.

"Senior brother, so many people are going, why don't we go?" Kang Jia looked confused.

Shangguan He shook his head firmly, "You absolutely can't go."

Kang Jia couldn't help but said, "The dark palace looks like it was left by a giant of demonic cultivation. If the demonic cultivation is passed down, wouldn't we be in danger?"

"That's why Tianhe Zhenren entered that palace. Even if he can't get it, he can't let the demon cultivator get it."

Shangguan He shook his head, "Xiaojia, remember, only those who know how to hide their capabilities and bide their time will survive to the end."

“Just because we don’t go now, doesn’t mean we won’t go in the future.”

Kang Jia blinked, as if she understood what he said.

Shangguan He continued, "However, other people may also have such thoughts, so we have to be good at pretending that we really won't go."

…

Hantiemu Forest.

"I plan to explore it, maybe I can get something."

"If I can get the spiritual object of the transformation of the spirit, I will have the hope of the transformation of the spirit in this life!"

"Fellow Daoist Ximen, are you willing to go with me?"

Xiao Xian's eyes were bright.

Ximen Changqing was restless, and finally smiled bitterly, "I only love tea ceremony in my life, I don't like fighting, so I won't go."

"If fellow Daoist Xiao has a chance to come out alive, I will help you."

Xiao Xian nodded heavily, "Okay, I'll go!"

...

The same scene was staged in various places in the Tianjin battlefield.

Some people are willing to go, some are not.

Some people are really unwilling.

Some people are pretending to be unwilling, but actually want to take a share of the pie.

But the two great masters of the transformation of the spirit, Tianhe Zhenren and Tianmozi, all entered the dark palace at the same time.

It is extremely difficult for them to maintain the state of transformation of the spirit.

If they fall to the Nascent Soul stage, wouldn't they be the same as other cultivators?

By then, there would be no pressure from the great cultivators of the Nascent Soul Realm.

They held a large number of elixirs, spirit stones and other treasures, which would surely attract the covetousness of other cultivators, and thus they would attack them in groups.

The appearance of the pitch-black palace gave them an opportunity.

An opportunity to continue to suppress other Nascent Soul cultivators.

In addition, they did not dare to bet on whether the pitch-black palace was an opportunity or a risk.

If it was an opportunity, and it was obtained by other cultivators, wouldn’t it be a big loss?

If it was a risk, as Nascent Soul cultivators, they were less likely to get into trouble than Nascent Soul cultivators.

Various factors combined, causing them to have to go.
