Chapter 397: Secret Realm of the Abyss, Old Monk in the Bamboo Forest.
Tang Zhen, who was pulled by an unknown force, seemed to be trapped in a quagmire and lost the ability to move freely.
Falling rapidly all the way, there seems to be no end, and the panic in my heart becomes more and more intense.
It wasn't until this moment that Tang Zhen clearly realized that he was indeed taking too many risks.
Although you have been lucky in the past and have always been able to turn danger into safety, it does not mean that it will always be like this.
Especially inside the abyss, there are dangers everywhere, so you must not leave anything to chance.
Facts have also proved that Tang Zhen's dive plan failed, and he was almost beaten to death by a fierce demon.
Although he was temporarily safe, it did not mean that the crisis was over, because he was about to face a more powerful demon.
With just one slap, a powerful demon was knocked away. What kind of terrifying existence must this be?
There is a great possibility that it is a demon-level existence.
If you fall into the opponent's hands, you have no power to resist and can only let it be manipulated obediently.
This trip is so difficult that the rescue plan is probably doomed to fail.
At this moment, Tang Zhen was ready to give up and began to plan for the next action.
Tang Zhen would definitely not give up easily until he got the artifact in his hands. If he couldn't succeed the first time, he would immediately prepare for the second time.
I will never give up until I achieve my goal.
But I don’t know if the reborn mutant tree demon can be more brilliant than the first generation. After all, some things require chance, and there is no way to forcefully copy them.
After an unknown amount of time, Tang Zhen regained consciousness and quickly observed his surroundings.
When he saw the scene in front of him, Tang Zhen couldn't help but be slightly startled.
The abyss, which was as red as magma, now appears in blue, white, and blue, just like the clearing sky at dawn after the rain.
That kind of transparent coldness is unforgettable for a long time.
The terrible pressure disappears, and it even gives people a refreshing feeling, like walking in the fields and pine forests after the rain.
If you look carefully, you can even find traces of water vapor, flowing slowly like clouds.
In the distance there is a large bamboo forest, an exquisite bamboo building, fish ponds and flowers and plants.
Seeing this scene, Tang Zhen couldn't help but secretly wonder if he had left the underworld?
However, the ubiquitous source of power proves that it is still in the abyss at this moment, but the environment has changed.
With the abilities possessed by monsters, it is not difficult to change the environment, but most monsters do it with disdain.
Looking at the environment of the bamboo forest and pond, it does not match the aesthetics of a demon at all. It is more like a secluded place for a human monk.
A thought flashed through Tang Zhen's mind.
"Bengbengbang..."
A crisp sound of wooden fish came from the bamboo building in the distance, and it sounded so familiar.
When he was in Tomb City before, the old monk liked to bang the wooden fish and chant sutras, and the unique rhythm could be easily heard.
"Sure enough, it's here."
At this moment, Tang Zhen couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Unexpectedly, when we are on the verge of despair, hope suddenly appears before our eyes. Such ups and downs are frightening.
However, it is still too early to rejoice now. Let’s find out the specific situation first.
Looking back on the whole process, he felt like he was being manipulated.
Tang Zhen controlled the mutated tree demon, his body shook violently, and then a huge change occurred.
The tree demon that originally had three heads and six arms turned into a man wearing a robe, with a rune sword slung around his waist, and it looked like there were still some traces of vegetation.
He no longer looks like a demon, but more like a reclusive scholar.
When you enter a country, you must follow the local customs. In this peaceful and leisurely environment, maintaining the image of a monster is really a disgrace to the scenery.
Tang Zhen is also considered a refined person, and he also likes such an environment. Especially after being used to the depressing and chaotic environment of the underworld, the scene in front of him is indeed refreshing.
Such a change in image is also to please the owner of this place and maintain the demeanor that a guest should have.
Tang Zhen walked slowly along the path among the flowers and soon arrived in front of the bamboo building.
In the quiet and transparent bamboo building, there is a green bamboo screen with dragons and phoenixes dancing on it.
The old monk sat cross-legged without moving, constantly tapping the purple wooden fish and reciting unknown scriptures.
"Old monk, you are well."
Tang Zhen smiled and said hello to the other party.
The old monk raised his head and looked at Tang Zhen standing at the door, with a confused expression on his face.
But in the blink of an eye, he judged Tang Zhen's true identity, and a bright smile bloomed.
"It's incredible that you can actually get here!"
When Tang Zhen heard this, he immediately smiled "haha" and said in a complaining tone: "You think I am willing to come here just to rescue you so that I can get the recognition of the artifact."
Tang Zhen would never deliberately conceal his purpose, and the old monk had long known this.
He even promised that as long as Tang Zhen completed the rescue of the monks from Famen, he would voluntarily give up control of the artifact.
Tang Zhen completed the mission, but the system was missing, so he had no choice but to go into the abyss to search.
After hearing Tang Zhen's story, the old monk apologized and said that the incident happened suddenly and he had no way to tell the truth.
It turns out that after entering the underworld, the system followed its perception and finally arrived at the location of the abyss.
When standing on the edge of the abyss, the old monk felt the call of his true body, and was immediately pulled into the abyss by an unknown force.
Tang Zhen originally thought that it was the old monk who jumped into the abyss on his own initiative, but now it seems that is not the case.
At that moment, the old monk could not help himself, just like his previous state.
Facing the powerful existence in the abyss, I really have no choice but to let the other party manipulate me.
Fortunately, looking at the situation in front of him, the other party did not have any malicious intentions, otherwise the scenery that greeted him would definitely not be the countryside.
"You said that you sensed the breath of the body from the abyss, then where is he at this time?"
Upon hearing Tang Zhen's question, the old monk had a serious expression, and then sighed softly.
"Come with me, go over and take a look and you will know."
The old monk led the way, followed closely by Tang Zhen, and soon walked deep into the bamboo forest.
After entering, you will find that there is something else inside the bamboo forest. From the outside, it looks green and full of vitality, but when you enter, there is a lot of evil energy inside.
The emerald green bamboo actually turned into pitch black color.
As we continue to move forward, the bamboos become thicker and thicker, and many of them are more than one meter in diameter.
The bamboo leaves become thin and long, green and black in color, and have silver sharp edges on both sides.
Combined with the jade-like bamboo leaf stalks, it is clearly a natural sword, exuding a chilling and terrifying aura.
"This is the Demonic Sword Bamboo Forest. It is cultivated by the main body and cannot be seen in other places."
The old monk stretched out his hand and a bamboo leaf fell down, floating in front of Tang Zhen's eyes.
Tang Zhen stretched out his hand to grab it and found that the bamboo leaves were cold and as heavy as ink jade.
There are also natural lines on the surface, which are obviously a special rune, and will have strange effects after activation.
Although bamboo leaves are naturally produced, their power is not inferior to the best magical weapons. If placed outside, they are enough for demons to fight over them.
Looking at the huge bamboo forest around him, Tang Zhen was shocked and envious, and he wanted to imitate.
After he returns, he will try to see if he can grow the same magical plant.
When outsiders see it, they will definitely be shocked, and they will definitely admire themselves.
While Tang Zhen was observing intently, he suddenly heard the sound of wind, and the boundless bamboo forest began to sway gently.
The bamboo leaves of the magic sword collided with each other, making crisp sounds, but the killing sound made people's scalp numb.
But in the blink of an eye, another strong wind appeared and passed through the sky above the bamboo forest.
Countless ink jade and bamboo leaf swords were swept into the strong wind, like schools of fish swimming in the sea.
Driven by the strong wind, the bamboo leaves flew towards the center of the bamboo forest, followed by a painful scream.
When the old monk heard the sound, he couldn't help sighing and started reciting unknown scriptures.
Tang Zhen was suspicious and wanted to ask, but in the end he did not speak.
The two sides continued to move forward, and after walking for about a few miles, a huge sinkhole appeared in front of them.
When Tang Zhen saw the scene in the sinkhole clearly, he couldn't help being shocked again.
