Chapter 437 Such Is the Cause Such Is the Fate
Duan Rong shuttled through the dark forest.
Although the place where the black fire lotus was located was still on the edge of the dark forest, it was much deeper than the place where Duan Rong had hunted Yuan beasts before, so Duan Rong was more careful at this time, and his spiritual sense had been fully released to cover the surroundings.
He had not encountered any accidents along the way, and he avoided all Yuan beasts, big or small.
He did not come here to hunt Yuan beasts this time, and did not want to cause trouble.
Moreover, there were still many Yuan beasts in the black jade pool of the training chamber that had not been refined.
Duan Rong locked the position and moved forward.
After a while, he suddenly saw a strange light and shadow in the gap between the trees in front of him, looming.
Duan Rong immediately stopped and hid behind a big rock, his eyes flashing.
The strange light and shadow flickered back and forth in the forest like a fleeting light...
Moreover, that place was still quite far away from Duan Rong, and was even beyond the range of his divine sense. It was only because the dark forest was dim that Duan Rong could see it from afar.
Duan Rong hid behind the big rock and was very alert.
Fan Hongjiao said that in the dark forest, strange plants are more dangerous than Yuan beasts.
"What is the strange light and shadow flickering in the gaps between the trees in front?"
Duan Rong crawled on the ground and slowly sneaked towards that place.
Not long after, the divine sense exploration had covered that area.
It was a cliff with a black hole on it, which seemed to be the cave of some Yuan beast.
And under the cliff was a deep pool.
The pool was covered with pure black lotus, lotus leaves and lotus pods.
The lotus leaves and lotus pods were fine, but they were just as black as ink, and there was nothing strange about them.
But the lotus flowers dotted between the lotus leaves and lotus pods, some in bud, some in full bloom, and some withering, all had thick black fire burning in their stamens and petals.
A light breeze blew, and the black lotus swayed gently with the wind...
The shadow of the black fire flickered constantly, like a dancing ghost.
Duan Rong breathed a sigh of relief when his spiritual sense detected this place. He thought he had encountered some evil spirits, but it turned out to be the place of the black fire lotus.
However, this black fire lotus was also strange enough. The fire shadow looked a little creepy in the dark night.
Duan Rong stood up and walked slowly towards this place, but his spiritual sense kept exploring the surroundings, and he did not dare to relax at all.
Duan Rong approached, hid behind a big tree, and looked at the cliff and the deep pool.
The pool of water was covered with pure black lotus leaves and lotus pods, dotted with black fire. In the endless darkness all around, the strange scene in front of him made Duan Rong feel cold all over.
This seemed to be an illusion that would only appear in the deepest hell, but now it was so real in front of him.
Duan Rong's eyes moved, and he stared at a lotus pod that was sticking out from the gap between the lotus leaves at the edge of the pool closest to him.
The black lotus pod was bulging, and the lotus seeds were full. They were the lotus seeds of the black fire lotus that he wanted to get this time.
Although the lotus pod seemed not too far away from him, only about two feet away, Duan Rong did not move his body to pick the lotus pod. His eyes were fixed on the pool of water covered with lotus leaves and the cave on the cliff, and his cold eyes flickered back and forth.
He knew that the lotus seeds of the black fire lotus were very important to the fire toad in the pool and the fire weasel in the cave on the cliff. That thing was of great benefit to the growth of these two Yuan beasts.
They will never allow anyone to pick them.
Wu Shidao's records only say that the fire toad and the fire weasel are difficult to deal with, but they do not record their abilities in detail.
Duan Rong is not ready to go up rashly, after all, there are two Yuan beasts here. And his soul illusion, Yinghuo, can only control one Yuan beast at present.
In other words, he has to rely on his strength to kill another Yuan beast before he can safely pick the lotus pod.
"Let's first understand the habits of these two Yuan beasts..." Duan Rong stood there and muttered to himself.
At least we have to see their appearance, so that we can play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses, and decide which Yuan beast to control with soul illusion and which Yuan beast to kill with strength.
It obviously takes a lot of time to observe the two Yuan beasts, so Duan Rong decided to find a place where it is easy to observe.
He chose a good position and was about to hide in the crown of the big tree, but suddenly found that the big tree seemed to have been burned, and then it grew lush branches and leaves again.
Therefore, a large part of the trunk is actually hollow.
Duan Rong smiled slightly.
If you hide in the trunk, you can have a better view than in the canopy, observing through the gaps between branches and leaves.
He moved his body, and like a ghost, he drilled into the burning hollow trunk.
Duan Rong hid in the trunk, and the vitality of his fingertips flashed slightly. He tapped the trunk three times in a row, and three small holes immediately appeared in the trunk in front of him.
Duan Rong could almost see the whole area in front of him through the three small holes.
After he hid in the trunk, he retracted his spiritual sense.
After he entered the dark forest, he had been using his spiritual sense to explore. And the black fire lotus was deep and far away. It was quite exhausting to explore all the way with his spiritual sense.
So he retracted his spiritual sense and took a rest. If necessary, he would use the spiritual illusion.
Moreover, since he was hiding in the tree trunk, which was so secretive and not dangerous for the time being, there was no need to keep his spiritual sense open to detect him. That would only make him more likely to be exposed.
Duan Rong collected his spiritual sense and stared at the quiet pool through the small hole in front of him. He knew that the fire toad was hiding in the depths of the pool.
Just as he was staring at the pool, a spiritual sense suddenly passed through his head, obviously sweeping through the crown of the big tree.
"Someone?!"
Duan Rong was so shocked that his head shrank and he held his breath immediately.
Almost at the same time, he saw a figure flashing out from the edge of the dense forest across the diagonal through the small hole in the tree trunk.
The figure was slender, holding a long sword, and wearing a light green dress.
The fire shadow on the black fire lotus reflected her cold and beautiful face.
"Is it Lv Qingzhu!?" Duan Rong's eyes were shocked.
Lv Qingzhu stood not far from the pool, like a lonely flower in the dark.
Duan Rong stared at her for a while and began to doubt. Why did Lv Qingzhu come here? It's not like she came here to hunt the two Yuan beasts, the fire toad and the fire weasel. Even Wu Shidao marked those two Yuan beasts as difficult to deal with, not to mention that Lv Qingzhu had not yet advanced to the cyclone realm.
Duan Rong suddenly noticed that Lv Qingzhu's eyes were fixed on a black lotus pod beside the pool not far from her.
"She also came for the lotus seeds of the black fire lotus?!"
Just as Duan Rong was suspicious, Lv Qingzhu had already dodged and hid in the crown of the big tree beside her.
The branches and leaves of the big tree shook for a while, and then fell into silence.
Lv Qingzhu had obviously scanned this area with her spiritual sense just now, but when she scanned the place where Duan Rong was hiding, she only scanned the lush tree crown with her spiritual sense, but did not notice that the trunk was hollow.
Although the tree was burned, its branches and leaves were very lush, covering the exposed part of the hollow trunk that was burned. If you don't get close to see it, it is indeed difficult to find it.
Duan Rong hid in the trunk, his eyes flickering. Since Lv Qingzhu also came for the lotus seeds of the black fire lotus, and he was hiding in this hollow tree trunk without being exposed, then he could just sit back and reap the benefits without making a sound.
After Lv Qingzhu dealt with the two Yuan beasts and picked the lotus pods and left, he could go out and pick them.
He didn't believe that Lv Qingzhu could pick all the lotus pods in this pool?
Just as Lv Qingzhu hid in the tree canopy, about half an incense stick later.
Suddenly, bubbles began to emerge from the lotus leaves in the pool, and then a lotus leaf somewhere on the edge of the pool began to shake, and a black shadow crawled out from the edge of the deep pool.
That thing was wet all over, and the size was like two sturdy men stacked together. Its back was like pus, covered with poisonous sores.
The fire toad had red eyes and crawled on the bank of the pool. Suddenly, its mouth opened wide, and its red tongue like fire swung out, rolled up a lotus pod, and rolled it back into its mouth.
The fire toad swallowed the lotus pod and cried out in satisfaction. At this moment, the dense branches and leaves in the tree canopy not far away trembled, and a graceful figure had already jumped out.
No mistake, one sentence, one post, one content, one 6, one book, one bar!
The moment the figure jumped out, the fire toad noticed it, and its red eyes flashed with a hint of irritability, obviously very angry that someone disturbed its eating.
But just as it was about to stick out its tongue and roll towards the person in the air, a flickering glow suddenly appeared in front of its eyes.
The glow was like a firefly in the dark night.
When Duan Rong saw the flickering glow from the small hole in the tree hole, his heart trembled.
"Is it a firefly?!"
"Lv Qingzhu has also learned the soul illusion technique!"
At this time, Duan Rong finally understood why Lv Qingzhu came here to pick the lotus seeds of the black fire lotus like him.
It turned out that she had already achieved the eleventh level of the Taizang Sutra and was about to practice the twelfth level.
No wonder she was alone when she met Lv Qingzhu in the Dark Forest last time.
She also used the Mars to hunt the Yuan Beast, so she was enough alone.
He met Lv Qingzhu both times he came to the Dark Forest. I wonder if it was fate?
However, Duan Rong was still very curious.
He thought that he was able to practice the Taizang Sutra to the twelfth level in such a short time by devouring the tree spirit.
The light threads contained in the tree spirit were exactly the light threads that the four great statues stripped out of the thick fog in the sea of spiritual consciousness when practicing the Taizang Sutra.
These two kinds of light threads are the same kind of soul origin.
Therefore, when practicing, the light threads in the tree spirit were directly absorbed by the Taizang Sutra.
Duan Rong relied on this opportunity to quickly achieve the Taizang Sutra, which was originally extremely difficult to achieve.
How did Lv Qingzhu achieve the eleventh level of the Taizang Sutra and learn the soul illusion technique Yinghuo in such a short time?
Duan Rong suddenly remembered a sentence Zhu He had told him.
Zhu He said that Lv Qingzhu had the ancestor of the sect behind her, and as a teacher, she had to give her some leeway.
"The ancestor of Taiyi Sect, Lv Yinlin!"
Obviously, Lv Qingzhu was able to achieve the eleventh level of the Taizang Sutra, and the ancestor of Taiyi Sect must have used some means to help her practice.
At this time, at the edge of the black fire lotus pond, the fire toad was like petrified, motionless, with its tongue hanging at the corner of its mouth.
Lv Qingzhu's figure was like a ghost, flashing in front of the fire toad, the sword shadow flashed, and the vitality was infused, and then the belly of the fire toad was cut open.
The blood that spurted out sprayed all over her face.
The most powerful thing about this fire toad is its tongue. It is difficult for warriors to get close to it, and they are often forced back by it.
The biggest weakness of this fire toad is its belly, which is the softest part of its body, and it is not covered with tumors like its back.
Fire toad's internal organs have flowed all over the place, and those who have died can no longer die. On the edge of the pond water, a strong bloody smell is filled ...
After the fire toad died, on the cliff wall, in the black cave, a red shadow suddenly came out of the inside.
The shadow was like a flame, and the speed was very fast like a ghost, and he attacked Lu Qingzhu at the edge of the pond.
It is another Yuan Beast, Fireachi.
This Fire and Huo toad have been with each other for many years. They have already had feelings. At this time, seeing Huo toad died, it was even more mania.
After Lu Qingzhu killed Huo toad, he had already held a long sword and looked at the cave.
She knew that the fire beach would smell the bloody smell and come out to attack.
This is also her before she wanted to kill the fire toad with confusion, and then fought with Huo Itachi.
The flames of the flames flickered around Lu Qingzhu, just like in the dark night, there was a flame, dancing around her.
Lu Qingzhu's heart sank a little bit. The speed of the fire Itachi was so fast. Her sword shadow had waved to the extreme and could not hurt her.
Lu Qingzhu quickly adjusted the tactics and changed the attack. She believed that the weird speed of Fireachi could not be maintained like this.
Sure enough, the Fire beach was surrounded by her, and after a few laps, the speed seemed to be slower.
After the speed of the flames slowed down, Lu Qingzhu suddenly caused difficulties, and Jianfeng slammed against the fire to Itachi, hitting the fire to Itachi.
Suddenly, Lu Qingzhu's sword was stabbing from the back of the fire to the neck of the fire. When he saw it, he succeeded, and the piercing was the key to the flaw.
But at this moment, at the buttocks of the fire, a large number of yellow gases were sprayed at the buttocks.
Duan Rong was in the tree hole and saw the rich yellow gases through a small hole, and it instantly shrouded Lu Qingzhu.
Fireachi's fart is its killing trick!
The moment Lu Qingzhu was sprayed with the yellow gas, he closed his gas immediately, but it was still late. Although there was only a thin gas, she entered her nasal cavity.
But she was still vomiting, and she almost closed her breath.
The fart's fart is not only strange, but also has a powerful anesthesia effect.
Lu Qingzhu's eyes were dark, holding the sword's hand, and it was weak.
At this moment, the flaw of the flames of the flames was scratched to her throat.
The moment Lu Qingzhu fainted, but saw a figure in the trunk not far away.
In the trunk, there was a person hidden? Intersection
However, no matter whether the man saved her or harmed her, it was too late, because the sharp claws of the Fire beach had to open her throat in half an inch.
"I'm going to die?"
At the moment Lu Qingzhu was about to die, a person with a black face was like standing in front of her eyes, looking at her with a nice smile.
She laughed and scolded, and it was you again, and he passed out.
