Qianye did not rush to the top of the tree to check, but pulled out Dongyue and input the force. A faint crimson brilliance immediately appeared on the tip of Dongyue sword, and the silver lines on the sword also shimmered.
After adding Tianshui Heavy Silver and Hair Nether Crystal, Dongyue's power has been further improved, far beyond ordinary level seven weapons. Although the trunk of the strange tree is hard, it is only at the level of armored steel plates of tanks. How can it be blocked?
Dongyue cutting? Qianye used a little force and Dongyue had already made a deep incision in the trunk.
The big tree trembled, as if it was wailing, and the purple-black matrix around the tree's roots also set off layers of ripples, quickly moving away. This scene looked extremely weird, as if this big tree, including the purple-black matrix covering the vast forest,
All have life.
However, under the real vision, Qianye saw that this scene was caused by the interruption of the force flowing inside the tree trunk after cutting it, causing the force circulation of the entire tree to be disordered. The root system of the big tree spread over a very wide area, and the original force was
The force fluctuations are transmitted along the root system, forming layer-by-layer fluctuations in the matrix.
Milky white juice oozed out from the crack, with a faint fragrant smell. As soon as it came out, it emitted wisps of force. Qianye stretched out his finger to dip a little, put it in his mouth and tasted it.
Sure enough, this is the source liquid!
It's just that the force attributes contained in this natural source liquid are closer to the void force. It is located in the middle area between eternal night and dawn, slightly more on the dark side. If compared with the source liquid of Zhao Clan's Marrow Cleansing Pool
, this natural source liquid needs to add many ingredients and undergo a series of refining and purification to remove the dark force before it can be used by practitioners of the dawn force.
However, even this is astonishing enough. The Zhao clan is the top clan in the empire, and it takes two or three months to prepare a pool of source liquid. Calculated in this way, the source liquid that a strange tree can produce is worth thousands of gold coins, and this way
A forest is vast, how many strange trees are there in it? Thousands, or even tens of thousands? This forest alone is worth fighting a local war for the empire.
Qianye sighed in his heart, this is only a small area on this continent, and there are more unknown areas that may contain hidden treasures.
It’s no wonder that both the Evernight Council and the Empire are always interested in conquering and exploring new continents. Once the heads of various powerful families have talented and ambitious heads, they will always choose to expand their territories, even though this is very risky and involves many inevitable sacrifices and sacrifices.
casualties.
But new territories mean more resources, and more resources mean faster development. Only in this way can humans gain more living space and survive in this world favored by darkness.
At this moment, Qianye suddenly discovered that the shock wave that had spread far away had disappeared somewhere.
Someone!
Qianye immediately opened his true vision and looked in the direction of the shock wave. He saw a figure flashing vaguely and then disappearing.
The man moved extremely quickly, and even Qianye was unable to catch any subsequent traces. He immediately held Dongyue in his hand, gathered his breath, and walked step by step towards the place where the figure disappeared.
That figure never appeared in the field of vision again. It seemed that it had a target for its next action and had already moved away.
When he was about to approach the place where the figure flashed, Qianye suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood. He quickened his pace slightly and passed over the purple-black matrix like wind, without causing any fluctuations in the matrix.
After walking around a big tree, Qianye was suddenly startled.
Behind the tree, there were several corpses lying upside down, all of them dressed in Zhao Clan costumes. Qianye's heart sank, and he looked around first before walking towards the scene.
Qianye recognizes most of these Zhao clan powerhouses. They are all elites in the bloody battle. They are also the elites sent by the Zhao clan to explore this time. They have died here before they can penetrate into the core area.
Qianye's face changed slightly, and his heart seemed to suddenly sink into icy water. He calmed down, and did not immediately check the corpse on the ground. Instead, he opened the pupil of true vision again and scanned the surrounding ground and trees one by one.
There were surprisingly few traces of the battle left at the scene, but there were no traces of the Blue Sky and the Purple Qi of the West, which meant that Zhao Jundu was not with them.
Qianye let out a gentle breath and relaxed his tense nerves slightly. He squatted down and turned over a face-down corpse at his feet. His face suddenly became gloomier.
Not only had he met this man before, but he also got to know him under the Iron Curtain. When Qianye returned to the Iron Curtain, he once rescued a Zhao clan team. At that time, the team was already in trouble. As a general, this man had a chance to escape alone.
But he still fought to the death, blocking attacks from troops several times his own, until Qianye arrived.
Because of this achievement, this person was later appreciated by his family and decided to allocate resources and focus on cultivation.
But he didn't expect that he would not die despite being attacked from both sides under the Iron Curtain, but would fall in this strange forest. He was still very young, but at this moment all his dreams were gone.
Qianye's heart felt like a heavy stone, unspeakably heavy. Under the Iron Curtain, in the cruel and bloody battles, a group of elite warriors were tempered, and it also made it easier for people who had fought side by side to identify with each other. There is nothing like time and time again.
The moment of life and death can test a person's nature. Although they have only known each other for a short time, Qianye has already regarded the Zhao Clan soldiers who have fought side by side as comrades-in-arms.
Comrade-in-arms, this word is more important than friend.
Qianye stretched out his hand and caressed his body, then took off his armor and checked the wounds. There was only one fatal wound, which was an extremely thin and smooth knife edge on the side of his neck. The knife was fast and steady, directly cutting off his cervical vertebrae.
, kill with one knife.
It seemed that the soldier named Zhao Shizhong was killed with one blow because he met an unbeatable opponent. But the problem was that the stabbing was too easy, and Zhao Shizhong had no chance to resist, which was why he suffered such a wound.
However, Qianye is very aware of his combat power. Within the combat power range of Dark Viscount and Earl, unless someone like Zhao Jundu takes action and has similar domain abilities to Bafang Fengzhen, he can be defeated instantly.
kill.
If it were Qianye himself, he would be sure to kill Zhao Shizhong instantly, but it would be impossible to create such a wound, and it would also be impossible to kill him so cleanly without any trace of struggle. Could it be that these Zhao clan warriors encountered a big man above the Dark Marquis?
?
Qianye stretched out a finger, pressed it on the throat of the corpse, and moved it downward little by little. His fingertips continued to send out wisps of force into Zhao Shizhong's body. When he moved to the chest, Qianye felt a little bit of feedback from the force.
It was strange, so I pressed it lightly with my finger, and the skin where my finger fell suddenly sank, and then did not bounce up, just like that, a pit was formed.
This pit is larger and deeper than what would be formed on a normal corpse. Not only does the body lose elasticity, but the sternum is also sunken. Qianye’s finger force is not too strong, and it is not enough to depress the sternum. Obviously.
For some unknown reason, the sternum of the corpse became extremely fragile.
Qianye thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry, brother!"
He pulled out his saber, cut open the corpse's chest, and examined the internal organs. After the chest was opened, all the exposed internal organs were shattered into pieces, and some even turned into a shapeless mass of meat.
Obviously, Zhao Shizhong suffered some kind of mysterious attack. There was no scar on the outside, but almost all of his internal organs were destroyed. Only then did he lose his ability to resist and was killed with one knife. In fact, the knife just cut off his last chance to struggle and all his life.
They all ended the moment their internal organs were destroyed.
As a warrior, there are no blind spots in Force defense, only strengths and weaknesses. However, what kind of attack can penetrate the Force defense of a twelfth-level warrior and directly destroy the internal organs?
Qianye's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a very bad premonition. He thought of his Eye Technique: Control, wasn't it a similar ability?
Eye Technique: Control, which can ignore the force defense and directly affect the opponent's internal organs. However, Qianye tried it, and the destructive power of control was not strong enough to directly destroy the opponent's core organs. In the past, when he used this ability, he only
Use this attack to expose your opponent's weaknesses and control the rhythm of the battle.
However, the person who killed Zhao Shizhong directly destroyed most of his internal organs under the defense of Zhao Clan's elite generals. This lethality was much stronger than control.
Qianye took a long breath, always feeling vaguely uneasy in his heart, but there was something in his subconscious that made him instinctively not want to think about it deeply. He checked the remaining corpses and found that there was another one who died from the same cause as Zhao Shizhong.
.The internal organs of lower-level warriors were mostly intact, but they were killed from the outside in by obviously powerful opponents.
These corpses were thrown here, and the blood overflowed, which has caused a reaction in the matrix. The matrix is like loose soil, constantly absorbing the blood. The matrix filled with blood is constantly squirming, gradually piling up, and spreading upward along the corpses. As you see,
It won't take long for the matrix to completely cover the body.
Qianye frowned, feeling very uncomfortable when looking at the scene in front of him. Thinking of his strange encounter in the black forest, he always felt that these strange matrixes would also swallow flesh and blood and turn into nutrients. He cut open the matrix with a knife, and then
Move all the corpses to one place, sprinkle them with fuel, and set them on fire. He would rather these former comrades turn to ashes in the fire than be submerged by these substrates.
Qianye stood by the fire and watched the raging fire rising. The matrix seemed to be afraid of the flames and kept retreating away from the surroundings. The parts affected by the flames also ignited flames, but the burning was not very violent.
After standing by the fire for a while, Qianye walked deep into the forest, where the mysterious figure disappeared. At this moment, he was no longer in the mood to continue exploring the secrets of these strange trees, and just wanted to catch up with the Zhao clan warrior and these
of people related to death.
After walking a few dozen meters, Qianye looked back and saw that the blazing pillar of fire had become very blurry. Walking a few dozen meters further, without turning on the real field of view, he could no longer see that it was still burning with his extraordinary vision alone.
The burning pillar of fire. This shows how powerfully this forest suppresses perception.
Qianye lit the fire pillar and also had the idea of attracting the enemy. His field of vision was obviously much further than that of ordinary people. Even if someone approached, he could find the opponent first and launch a fatal blow. But now it seems that the effect is not great, even if the entire tree is lit
The big tree can probably only be seen by people within a hundred meters.
Qianye walked leisurely through the forest, always paying attention to the movements around him.
Hundreds of meters away, a pair of eyes were watching him through a special sight. In the sight, the center of a pair of bat wings, representing the crosshair, was always moving with Qianye's head.
But until Qianye walked out of the sight of the scope, no gunfire rang out in the forest.
On the spherical crown of a big tree in the distance, Nighteye lay there, her aura completely integrated with the surroundings. She held a gorgeously crafted sniper rifle in her arms and silently looked at the world around her through the lens.
It wasn't until Qianye had walked for a long time that she slowly got up and disassembled the sniper rifle and put it away.
Next to her, the scenery blurred and distorted, and a figure of a demon appeared, with a faint cyan light emitting from the vertical pupils on his forehead. He glanced at Night Eyes with some confusion, and asked in a low voice: "Didn't you notice? How do I feel?
Are there abnormal force fluctuations in that direction?"
"If you have any questions, you can go and check it out yourself." Ye Tong answered in his usual cold voice.
The demon frowned slightly, and then said: "Your Highness, I did not mean to offend you. Although I have the Eye of Breaking the Nether, I am still not as good as Your Highness. Therefore, my role is to assist and protect you."
Ye Tong was noncommittal and said, "Let's go to the next place."
