Black clouds gathered above the Forest of No Return. The Forest of No Return, where monsters were usually rampant, seemed to have been looted by someone. There was not a trace of monsters left on the ground with intertwined roots.
The green vines hanging on the green branches turned into dark green overnight, as if the moss attached to them had faded away, revealing the original dark black like ink, or as if they were dyed black by the dense black clouds on the top of the trees.
.
These vines originate from an ancient tree in the land of No Return Forest, with a diameter of three feet. It rises straight from the ground and reaches the sky. It has been standing here for more than ten thousand years. Anyone who comes within ten miles of the ancient tree will be covered by the vines.
strangled.
At this time, there were three figures wandering twenty miles away from the ancient tree. They were dressed in long light blue clothes and were particularly eye-catching in the green, gray and black forest of no return.
The burly man in the lead is named Su Huaiqian, and he is the elder of Xuandong Valley of Qingyang Su Clan. During this trip, he will personally capture an ice-attributed cub as a gift to the young sect leader who has just awakened the ice spirit root.
"Elder, further ahead is the territory of the tree demon. The tree demon is a top-level monster. Even if the true immortal comes, he can only run away!"
The person who spoke was disciple Su Li. He raised his head and looked at the ancient tree, his forehead was covered with crystal beads of sweat, and his legs and feet were weak before he entered.
"Elder, I haven't seen a single monster along the way. I'm afraid the forest is not peaceful."
Another disciple, Su Ye, also stepped forward and spoke. Xuandong Valley is the place where Qingyang Su clan hunts and controls beasts. It is not difficult for them to capture young monsters. If they don’t encounter monsters today, they will wait until tomorrow.
, don’t rush this moment.
If he was really attacked by the tree demon and died, it would be too late to regret.
Listening to his disciple's advice, Su Huaiqian lowered his head and looked at the longevity line on his palm. The line had reached its end unknowingly. If he didn't get the longevity pill quickly, he would definitely die within half a year.
He is the one with the lowest cultivation level among the four elders of Xuandong Valley. He is nearly 700 years old, but he is still in the out-of-body stage and has not been able to break through. His lifespan in the out-of-body stage is only 700 years.
The other three elders of Xuandong Valley have always disliked him, so he took the initiative to take on the task of finding contract beasts for the young master. If he could capture a highly talented ice attribute monster, he could ask the master for one.
Three hundred years of longevity elixir.
Not far away, there lives a group of ice-attributed white foxes in this towering ancient tree. The white foxes are top-grade monsters with good fighting prowess and can speak human words. However, white foxes are cunning by nature and often appear in groups. They are also protected by ancient trees and are extremely dangerous.
Fewer arrests.
I heard that the Fox King was dead a few days ago, so now is the best time to sneak in.
This time, he must catch a rare cub! The white fox is his best choice.
After recognizing the current situation, Su Huaiqian no longer hesitated and led the two young disciples in the foundation building stage into the area covered with black vines.
As soon as the white boots stepped on the ground covered with soft leaves and dry branches, there was a scream from all around, and the harsh sound almost penetrated the eardrum.
Immediately afterwards, the vines beat the air with all their strength in a chaotic manner, like a warning to the intruder, and like a final struggle.
For a moment, the leaves were blown by the wind, making people unable to open their eyes. Even if the spells were strengthened, they could not stabilize their bodies. It was as if the entire Forest of No Return was being pulled by some force and shaking violently.
The three of them sensed the danger, and each took out their magic weapons and prepared to leave. The next second, they were stared at by a gaze that seemed to be able to see through everything. As the gaze swept across, suffocating murderous intent swept over them instantly.
They instinctively activated the life-saving magic weapon, but the spiritual energy around them stagnated, and their bodies were imprisoned and unable to move. They were clearly not within the attack range of the ancient tree, so why were they attacked?
Death took so long that the cold sweat on their foreheads was dried by the wind.
Just listen to a bang - something was broken hard and hit the lake hard, causing thousands of waves. The waves hit the shore, wetting the fallen leaves and branches, and washing away some traces that should not exist.
.
After a while, the earth stopped shaking, the dust settled, and everything became silent.
Su Huaiqian's pupils opened slightly as he gradually regained consciousness, unable to believe the scene he saw in front of him.
The ancient tree, which once had such lush branches and leaves that cast half of the Forest of No Return in shadow, and the tree demon that made countless monks frightened, was cut in half! The huge crown fell into the Lake of Tears, and the tree stump remained in place.
What happened just now?
"Elder!" The two young disciples opened their mouths wide and shouted at the same time. At that moment, they felt as if they were being stared at by a hungry beast. They thought they were going to die from this, but they never thought that the person who died was actually
Dryad!
The three of them walked towards the ancient tree with their swords filled with shock and confusion. The overwhelming black vines lost their vitality and became dry. They fell to the ground with the slightest touch, like burnt charcoal.
Su Huaiqian went around the top of the tree stump to check. There was no residual spiritual energy on the neat cuts. It was as if someone just waved a sword lightly and the tree broke.
In the past, there was an immortal who came here rashly because he had an immortal consciousness in his body. In the end, he ended up with no body left. At that time, the torso of the dryad was only left behind after a full blow from the immortal consciousness.
Got some scratches.
Immortals cannot enter the human world privately, and they will not return to the human world, so the people who come here are not immortals. Who is this person and what sword is it? It is so powerful! It broke the ancient tree with one sword!
"Elder! There is a white fox below!" The young disciple Su Li looked down along the tree hole. The tree hole was dark and although he couldn't see it clearly, there was the scent of the fox demon inside.
Monks take it as their duty to slay demons. Monsters are often good at concealment and disguise. In order to track those escaped monsters, it is allowed to contract with an obedient and powerful monster.
Su Li's contracted beast is a black python. With the help of the black python, he can quickly distinguish the aura of the monster. As an elder of Xuandong Valley, Su Huaiqian naturally had a contracted beast before, which was a blue bird.
Years ago, while killing a monster, Blue Bird died unexpectedly.
Each person can only have one contracted beast. Without the contracted beast, it is difficult for Su Huaiqian to tell whether those cubs that have not been contaminated with human blood have developed spiritual talents. He can only rely on these two young disciples who have contracted beasts.
.
The three of them entered the warm and humid tree cave. Su Ye condensed the spiritual energy in his hands and ignited a fire.
The tree hole was illuminated by orange light, and the walls were covered with vines. The upper vines were burnt black and emitting white smoke. The vines next to the ground were dripping something, and the viscous liquid seemed to be
It penetrated the entire tree stump, and everything that caught the eye was eye-catching red.
Covered in bright and dazzling colors, there are white foxes with their throats slit. Their sharp and shining teeth are covered with mucus. Their eyes are as wide as copper bells, staring upward, seemingly still alive.
.
But they don't have a trace of ups and downs in their hearts, which represents death.
"One, two... what happened here?" Su Ye looked at the fresh corpses on the ground and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. Just now he saw that the ancient trees were cut down, and he was just shocked and faintly excited. What he saw now
This frightened him.
There are a total of seven hundred of these white foxes! Some are still cubs. There is no doubt that the white fox clan will be wiped out if they do not return to the forest.
When monks kill monsters, they often do not harm the cubs. Firstly, the cubs can be raised as contracted beasts. Secondly, killing the cubs does not increase merit.
Nowadays, if a monk wants to ascend, he must have enough merit. Merit can only be obtained by slaying demons. The more powerful the monsters you kill, the more merit you will get.
"Who is it? Is it an ancient tree?" Su Li wanted to call out the black python and ask it to help check, but the black python was huddled tightly in the corner, very afraid of the situation in the tree hole. There was something that it was afraid of.
exist.
"The ancient branches are lush and leafy, and are often used as a habitat for monsters and beasts. The white fox has lived here for many years and will not suddenly change his mind. Looking at the wounds on the corpse, they are all sword wounds, sealing the throat with a sword, and cutting down the ancient tree.
The sword marks are exactly the same."
Su Huaiqian looked at the white fox corpse, his eyes gradually turned cold. He didn't pay attention to who did this. They were just a bunch of beasts. They died when they died.
He just wanted to know if there were any white foxes alive. If not, he would have to look for them sooner.
After the movement of the ancient tree, there must be a lot of people coming here at this moment. The silver snake living near the Lake of Tears is also an ice attribute, and its strength is not inferior to that of the white fox. It is his second choice.
So the three of them headed in three directions to carefully check if there were any surviving cubs.
Suddenly, in the cave that was supposed to be silent, there was a burst of sharp screams, one long and one short, beating the hearts of the three of them. The sound was strong and powerful, similar to the cry of a newborn, desperate to prove its existence.
Su Huaiqian followed the direction of the sound and pushed aside the vines on the wall. He saw a basket in the corner surrounded by vines. The source of the cry was lying on a soft fox blanket, his eyes closed and he kept waving.
Holding hands.
Just when the three of them were wondering why there was a child under the full moon in the monster's cave, the child stretched out her hand and pushed aside the blanket covering her head, and a pair of pointed white ears came into view.
"This is it!" Su Li took a step forward, his expression changed drastically. Seeing the ancient tree being cut off and the white fox clan being wiped out, he didn't lose his sense of proportion. However, the child in front of him actually had a pair of fox ears!
Su Huaiqian stared at the pair of slightly trembling fox ears, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind. No monster has ever transformed into a human being, and no one has ever given birth to animal ears. Beasts are just beasts, and even if they can practice and become stronger, they still cannot escape.
The ending of being beheaded by a monk.
The existence of monsters is to be killed by monks and become stepping stones on their way to ascend to immortality. Just like fish will be eaten by people, fish monsters are destined to be killed by monks. This is an unchanging rule throughout the ages.
But now, there is a child with fox ears here! Is this evil creature a human or a demon?
"My black python is very afraid of this little guy. She must be a white fox with extraordinary talent." Su Li thought of the fear that the black python had just now and concluded that this white fox with a human appearance must be extraordinary.
He held the basket in his arms and examined it carefully, and found nine fluffy tails under the fox fur blanket.
"Elder! This is the Nine Tails!" Su Li showed the little fox's tail as if he had found a treasure. The Fox King had practiced for ten thousand years to obtain the Nine Tails, so this little fox was born with Nine Tails!
These nine snow-white tails represent her one-in-a-million talent. There is only one fox with fox ears and human body and animal tail in the world. If she is dedicated to the master of the house, the master of the house will be very happy!
Su Huaiqian took the basket and put away the greed in his eyes. At this moment, he was extremely sure that the fox in the basket was a monster that could bring him wealth and glory, not a human!
He stuffed a milky-white pill into the little fox's mouth to satisfy his hunger. The little fox immediately stopped crying, smashed its mouth, and quietly let him wrap it.
"Go back to Qingyang Mountain." Su Huaiqian maintained his calm demeanor and picked up the tightly wrapped little fox, with its tail and ears uncovered. The corner of his mouth curled up in a hypocritical arc. His trip was worth it.
The three-hundred-year life-extending pill is right in front of you.
The two young disciples also believed that this little fox was of the white fox clan and had nine tails. With such talent, he was worthy of their young sect master.
After getting the food, the little fox fell asleep peacefully, unaware that she had been taken away by strangers, and that the tribesmen who had only met her once were no longer there. This chapter has been completed!
