Chapter 80: Spiritual Plants in the Transformation Stage
"The two juniors were exploring in the fog one after another. Just now they heard my wife screaming. When I turned around, I saw something piercing through his chest and losing his life."
Everyone looked at the old woman's bloody wound, which showed that she had been penetrated by a sharp weapon, and her cultivation had reached the late stage of foundation establishment. She died without even reacting. After seeing the body, Lu Tianming asked the system in his heart,
It wasn't that they were killed by monsters. There was no one else in the fog except them, nor was it that the forbidden death was triggered. Lu Tianming was also confused.
Guan Hongda turned to look at Wang Rui and said,
"Didn't Master Wang say that he sent people in before, and even though they were trapped in the formation, none of them died? Is he hiding something from us?"
"I definitely didn't hide the situation from you fellow Taoists, and I don't know why this happened." Wang Rui slowly explained,
The other four people looked at each other, obviously not believing Wang Rui's words. Lu Tianming looked at the old man in time and said,
"You said you were in front of this nanny before she died. Then when you looked back and saw her body, was her body facing up or back?"
The old man replied with a hoarse voice,
"I turned around and saw that the person was falling backwards, but I didn't see anything that killed my fellow Taoist."
Lu Tianming asked the system to confirm that the old man was not lying, and continued his analysis,
"Then it means that the attack he received was not from behind but from the front, and you two have the most spiritual awareness and can detect each other within one foot of this place."
"From the perspective of the wound on his chest, it was an attack from the ground." Lu Tianming said while stamping his feet on the spot.
After listening to Lu Tianming's words, everyone unconsciously strengthened their consciousness to sense the ground. Taoist Ku Teng said,
"Our spiritual consciousness is severely limited. If the attack comes from the ground, at such a close range, the attack cannot be detected even in the middle stage of foundation building. Even if we are monks in the alchemy stage...",
Before he finished speaking, Tu Chuntao continued,
"In this case, I think we should exit the fog first." Wang Rui and Taoist Kuteng nodded in agreement with his suggestion. Obviously they did not want to risk their lives for unknown benefits.
However, Guan Hongda and Ju Lixin relied on their higher cultivation level and had life-saving trump cards in their hands. They were obviously unwilling to give up. Guan Hongda said,
"Since we have determined that our lives are in danger, we will explore together and protect each other even if we encounter danger."
"I will take the lead before leaving, Taoist friend Ju Lixin will guard the rear, Taoist Ku Teng and Tu Chuntao will guard the left, Master Wang and Taoist Lu are on the right, and the rest of the foundation building period will be coordinated in the center. What do you think of my suggestions?"
"I think this suggestion is good." Ju Lixin was the first to agree. The other three looked at each other and considered that if they only defended in one direction, the safety probability would be greatly improved. They then nodded in agreement with Wu Hongda's suggestion.
After Lu Tianming waited for the three people to nod, he nodded casually in agreement, but when the two women in the middle of the transmission message were in the center, they moved closer to him.
Afterwards, everyone began to continue exploring in the fog, and after Lu Tianming asked the system for directions, he would occasionally give directions for the direction to go.
Although Wu Hongda took the lead from the front and did not always follow his advice, after several turns, he still moved in the direction Lu Tianming said.
Just after everyone walked for another hour, when Lu Tianming asked the system again about the death probability of everyone, 8.74% appeared in front of him.
Without hesitation, Lu Tianming pulled the two girls, Rooibos, and jumped back, then reminded him,
"Everyone, be careful, I feel something is coming towards us."
Before Lu Tianming finished speaking, vines as thick as arms and full of vibrant green sprouted from the ground, stabbing at everyone at extremely fast speeds.
Lu Tianming reminded everyone to release their magic weapons, and Wu Hongda released green and red flags, forming two light curtains to protect his whole body.
Ju Lixin sent a golden tripod with patterns of various monsters engraved on it, and the three vines making a "dang-dang" sound.
Taoist Kuteng took out a gray-black cane with a white skull on the top and faced several vines.
The blue phoenix-patterned hairpin on Tu Chuntao's head is divided into fifteen hairpins like a nesting doll, circling and flying around his body and strangled with vines.
Wang Ruiyin and Lu Tianming were in a group. When they saw Lu Tianming jumping backward, they also followed him, thus avoiding several vines sprouting from the ground.
Lu Tianming also released nine wind and thunder pillars at this time, three of which flew towards the vines that had just sprouted from the ground, and the remaining six protected the three women and himself.
There were clanging sounds everywhere in the fog. Wang Rui saw that Lu Tianming was protecting herself in it. She glanced at Lu Tianming without saying a word, nor did she take out her magic weapon to deal with the enemy. She was thoughtful.
"It seems that this person really has no intention of controlling the Wonderful Sound Sect...",
When the wind and thunder pillar collided with the green vines, Lu Tianming felt that its strength was comparable to a magic weapon, and its speed and attack power were similar to those of a monk in the early stage of pill formation.
"This is not the main body yet, it is already comparable to the early stage of pill formation." Lu Tianming asked the system in his mind while controlling the wind and thunder pillar.
Then I learned that trees have their own intelligence, although they are still driven by instinct,
"Shouldn't this thing only exist in the spirit world?" When he asked, "His cultivation level has reached the stage of becoming a god." Lu Tianming was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his back.
However, after he thought about the mortality rate that he had asked about before, his mentality quickly calmed down.
"If we really want to take action at the God Transformation stage, all of them should have died. Then does this tree spirit have restrictions?"
At this time, the battle has ended. Among the several pill-forming monks, Lu Tianming showed the strongest strength. Whether he was the first to discover the danger or the fastest to end the battle, everyone else saw it.
Taoist Withered Vine smiled, picked up a section of the vine and said,
"This tree demon can be used to refine wood magic weapons just from its branches. If it can be taken away by its roots,"
Tu Chuntao curled his lips and said disdainfully,
"The branches of this tree demon are so strong, and the body is at least in the middle and late stages of pill formation. Fellow Taoist Dryad is confident that he can defeat it"?
"We also have fellow Taoist Lu here. I think his strength is at least comparable to that of the late stage of pill formation." What Taoist Ku Teng said meant to remind the other three people to stick together.
Lu Tianming just glanced at Taoist Ku Teng without saying anything, thinking in his mind,
"If you knew that this tree demon had reached the stage of becoming a god, how could you still laugh and cause division here?"
The other three people unconsciously moved closer to Taoist Ku Teng. Seeing this, Wang Rui spoke up and changed the topic,
"These vines can also be considered as materials for refining magic weapons. Let's share some. If I don't want to take action, I won't take them."
Lu Tianming picked up a piece of vine and asked the system in his mind. When he learned that the spiritual plant was sealed, he planned to move on with everyone else, otherwise Lu Tianming would run away with the three women.
A few hours later, everyone was walking and the white fog seemed to be weakening. During this period, the remaining four people formed a small group, and Wang Rui chose to stand with Lu Tianming. After all, there was danger before, and Lu Tianming also protected her.
