The vast land of China is vast, among which the Central Plains is naturally the richest.
Outside the Central Plains, to the north is the icy and snowy Far North Icefield, which is inaccessible; to the east are the vast seas and islands; as for the south, outside the Central Plains, there are hundreds of thousands of mountains, rising borders, and endless stretches of barren mountains and dangerous waters.
, there are countless poisons in the miasma, and legend has it that there are even weird and strange wild barbarians who drink blood like hair and are extremely ferocious.
In the western part of the vast land of China, there are two dangerous places side by side.
To the northwest, there is an endless stretch of desolate Gobi, which the world calls a "barbaric land." It has not rained for hundreds of years, and the climate is extremely dry. There are occasional oases, but most of them are occupied by ferocious beasts. It is easy for ordinary people to enter.
It is a dead end. Deep in the wilderness, there is a grand temple, known as the Savage Temple, which is the birthplace of the Demonic Cult.
As for the southwest, it is the huge death swamp that the world talks about. The climate here is completely opposite to that of the wild northwest. It rains seven or eight out of ten days a year, and there are all kinds of strange plants.
They are as numerous as cow hairs and grow luxuriantly.
This cold and damp place has always been a place where the world's most poisonous beasts and poisonous insects live. And the highly toxic swamp gas unique to this place rises from the rotten soil in the swamp every rainy day.
If inhaled, without a suitable antidote, the poison will attack the heart and kill you within half a moment.
In addition, animal bodies, trees and flowers that have been soaked and rotted by rain for thousands of years have turned this place into a dangerous place. If you take a wrong step, you may be sucked into the bottomless swamp and never be seen again.
Every day, he died miserably.
But even in such a dangerous area, it seems to be overcrowded now.
In the deepest part of the swamp, between the thick miasma and mist, a huge mountain-like tree that was so thick that the edges could barely be seen stood majestically, soaring straight into the sky and disappearing into the clouds.
Standing at its feet, human beings are as insignificant as ants.
Under the tree, several groups of "ants" were confronting each other.
Under the guidance of the dazzling golden light, no one got lost. The Qingyun disciples and the disciples of the three demon sects arrived at the front and rear respectively. Then, before they had time to sigh at the wonders of the world, they showed off their magic weapons and started to confront each other.
"This tree...could it be the tree that reaches the sky?"
A knowledgeable practitioner exclaimed.
"Whatever it is, the treasure must be on the tree anyway, we can't let them go up there!"
A battle for treasures suddenly began.
Sword light and poisonous gas flew across the sky, flames blended with ice.
The battle became intense from the beginning.
The three leaders of the Qingyun Sect took the lead and fought against several demonic villains. Although they had an overall advantage in cultivation and magic weapons, due to their numerical disadvantage, they did not establish an advantage as quickly as they thought, but instead fought against them.
The enemy reached a stalemate.
But what is strange is that the fight is like this. The leader of the Qingyun Sect, Cangsong Taoist, the Poison God of the Wandu Sect, the Changshengtang Yuyangzi, the Hehuan Sect Sanmiao Fairy and other leaders did not participate in the battle.
Are they looking at each other, as if they are competing for momentum?
The disciples who were too low in cultivation could not understand the confrontation between them. They only felt that Taoist Cangsong had single-handedly held back the three leaders of the Demon Sect. It was so terrifying!
In fact, these people are all substitutes sent by Changshengtang.
They are indeed communicating with their eyes now, but the content is very different from what everyone thinks.
Cangsong (substitute): What should we do? Should we take action too?
Poison God (substitute): Use the hammer! Do you want to be exposed?
Yu Yangzi (substitute): But everyone else is fighting! If we don’t fight, wouldn’t it be a bit unreasonable?
Fairy Sanmiao (substitute): Can't fight. If you fight fiercely, the disguise will be ineffective.
Cangsong (substitute): How about... just fight with your eyes?
Poison God, Yuyangzi, Sanmiao Fairy (substitute): This is a good idea!
The eyes of several people were moving wildly. You looked at me and I looked at him. I don’t know if they understood each other. Anyway, they were communicating all the time.
However, they are worthy of being stand-ins, and their acting skills are indeed top-notch.
They kept acting awkwardly like this, and made others stunned. No one thought that there would be any problems with them, they only thought that their behavior at the moment had profound meaning.
But people from the Qingyun Sect and the Demon Sect have this mindset, and others don’t.
The nine-tailed fox and his entourage, who had been hiding in the dark and watching, soon saw some clues.
"Do you think Poison God and Yu Yangzi look a little strange?"
Qinglong, who had dealt with them a lot, pinched his chin in confusion and looked at Suzaku, who was always thoughtful.
"It's a bit awkward indeed."
Suzaku stared at the few people carefully for a while, then hesitated and said, "It always feels like they are very... nervous?"
After hesitating for a moment, she spit out such a strange adjective.
If others heard this, they would just laugh out loud.
The Poison God, Yuyangzi, and Sanmiao Fairy are the three top experts in the Demon Cult today. How nervous are they? What a joke!
But the Nine-tailed Sky Fox confirmed Suzaku's judgment: "Indeed, these little guys seem to be very nervous~"
Her voice was playful and charming, as if she had discovered some novel toy.
"Haha, let me have some more fun for them~"
Having said that, the nine-tailed sky fox transformed into an ordinary monk who was inconspicuous, and infiltrated into the demon sect's camp.
"Is it really okay for us to show up so early?"
Suzaku, who had the least contact with the nine-tailed sky fox, was a little worried.
"Do not worry,"
Qinglong comforted him, "She's the best at this."
Not long after, a bloody light suddenly flew out and hit Taoist Cangsong who was confronting the Poison God and others.
How could a mere stand-in withstand such an attack? He couldn't even make a single dodge, and blood was spilled on the spot.
Almost at the same time, several more sword energy and treasure lights exploded near the Poison God and others, drawing them all in.
"Head!
"
"Master!"
"Elder!
"
Although the situation at the scene is very chaotic, Cangsong, Poison God and others are the leaders after all, and they still receive a lot of attention, and no one would think of joining them to fight.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This sudden attack immediately shocked both sides, and many people left their opponents and flew to rescue them.
But it was not easy to get rid of one's opponents in the midst of a fierce battle. Before anyone could catch them, violent explosions soon followed, slowing down everyone's progress.
Finally, when both parties arrived, where were the figures of Cangsong, Poison God and others in the field of vision?
So, in anger, more brutal fighting broke out again.
But the Nine-tailed Sky Fox, who was directing all this behind the scenes, hid his identity and fame, and quietly returned to the spectator position with a smile.
"Those little guys are fake."
"Fake?"
Qinglong was a little surprised, "Then where did they go?"
You know, this rare treasure born in the Death Swamp has gained a lot of attention and attracted a lot of attention. Could it be that there is something more important than this?
"Could it be..."
He looked up at the giant tree whose top could not be seen at all, and guessed, "Going up in advance?"
Thinking of this, his heart tightened. You must know that the purpose of their coming today is not to watch a show or fight, but also to find that rare treasure! How can they allow others to get there first?
"Then we can't delay any longer!"
"Hey, don't worry."
The nine-tailed sky fox stretched out his hand to stop him, "I don't know if they can go up there, but it's not that easy to get the treasure. I feel the breath of an old friend."
唳——
As soon as she finished speaking, before the end of her words had even finished, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded from the sky, attracting everyone's attention.
The sky suddenly turned dark.
A large orange-yellow color slowly appeared above the nine heavens, covering an area of tens of feet, covering everyone's heads, and even blocking the sunlight.
Then, a clear whistle like the sound of a phoenix came from the sky again.
The cloud fell down like it covered the sky and the sun, and it turned out to be a huge bird covered with orange feathers, flying with wings spread and hovering in the sky.
"That's...a yellow bird?"
As an ancient alien species, the Nine-Sky Spirit Bird, the Yellow Bird is not low in popularity. Many people in the melee below recognized the origin of this giant beast.
But instead of panicking because of its appearance, they were overjoyed!
"It seems that that rare treasure is indeed extraordinary! It can actually attract such strange beasts. If you can get it..."
This is what everyone in the Demon Sect thinks.
The leaders of the Qingyun Sect are becoming more and more worried: "What kind of rare treasure can attract the yellow bird to take the initiative to invest? If it falls into the hands of the Demon Sect, there will be big trouble!"
So they attacked more and more fiercely, and even with a numerical disadvantage, they gained the upper hand in the battle.
Breaking through the demon sect's defense line, he rushed towards the sky along the branches of the giant tree.
"Come on, let's go up and have a look too."
Covered by the illusion of the nine-tailed sky fox, the figures of Qinglong and others were not discovered by anyone.
Everyone flew along the trunk of the giant tree for a long time. There was nothing else but a bunch of nameless vines that had been wrapping around the giant tree from the bottom of the trunk. They became stronger and stronger, and even gradually replaced the branches. The flowers on it were in full bloom, and they were all colorful.
, even the air began to be filled with a faint fragrance.
Until the tree trunk is completely covered by vines, it condenses into a wall like a sea of flowers.
In the sea of flowers, there stands a stone gate, five feet high and three feet wide, embedded in the trunk of the tree. It is surrounded by countless vines and flowers, leaving only the thick boulder in the middle, with four ancient seal characters engraved on it.
Large characters:
"Treasure House of the Emperor of Heaven!"
Vaguely, there seemed to be a voice like a yellow bell echoing in the blue sky, which was shocking.
"Is that what we want in there?"
Suzaku looked slightly distracted as he looked at the strange scene in front of him.
"That's right! Do you need me to break the door open?"
The white tiger was a little eager to give it a try.
"No need,"
The nine-tailed sky fox raised his head and looked at the sky, "Let's wait a moment."
This wait only takes half a day.
People from Qingyun Sect and Demon Sect also came up one after another and saw the stone gate of the Emperor's Treasury.
They used fairy swords and spells to continuously bombard them, but at most they only caused the giant wood under their feet to tremble once or twice, and the stone door did not move at all.
However, precisely because the Heavenly Emperor's Treasure House attracted attention, the fighting between the two sides calmed down temporarily, and other than talking to each other, they basically stopped taking action.
Tianhu and others used illusions to blend in among the crowd, discussing in low voices.
"Why didn't they fight? It's such a pity..."
Qinglong felt a little regretful.
For them, whose goal is to take away all the treasures, everyone present is an enemy. Since they are enemies, it is only right to let them consume each other, which can also reduce some pressure on themselves.
"If they don't fight, we will let them fight."
The nine-tailed sky fox smiled softly and made a magic spell.
"Roar--"
From the depths of the mist below, there was suddenly a shocking roar, like an evil beast roaring to the sky. The invisible sound turned into a violent wind, surging from the bottom up, blowing away everyone's clothes.
ring.
Among the roars, there was also a strange and inexplicable "hissing" sound, like the sound of a snake crawling or the friction of a rope, echoing between the heaven and the earth, getting louder and closer.
There was suddenly a fishy smell in the air, and the strange "hissing" sound that was getting louder and louder, like a devil stepping on their hearts, became more and more intense.
"what……"
Naturally, many people noticed such a big movement. A disciple of Wan Du Sect walked to the edge of the tree branch and looked down, cursing.
"ah!
"
The shrill wail had just started and was immediately cut off.
Rumble——
The giant tree underfoot shook violently, and everyone followed the sound, but they all froze in place.
Don't blame them for being timid, it's just that what they saw was too terrifying.
Under the clear sky, in the direction where the huge branches extended, where there was still some miasma remaining, it suddenly seemed like two huge flames were burning.
Dark green flames!
In the flames, there were two slender, erect, deep eyes, shining with a cold and eerie light.
The fishy smell in the air suddenly became strong and made people want to vomit.
Like an evil beast that has traveled from ancient times, the Blackwater Black Snake wraps its huge snake body around the tree trunk. Wherever it passes, the branches and leaves are in a mess, and the vines and flowers are withered and broken.
It raised its neck and stared coldly at the monks standing on the platform of the tree branch.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment. Being stared at by the pair of snake boys that were larger than themselves, everyone felt their scalps numb, fearing that they would make any strange noise or movement and become the number one target of this giant beast.
.
Fortunately, the Blackwater Black Snake did not pay attention to these ants. Its eyes quickly swept across the crowd and looked in the direction of the Emperor's treasure house.
But he still didn't stay there for long.
Finally, it raised its neck to the sky, facing the yellow cloud above the sky, and roared filial piety.
"Roar!
"
Yellow bird, the old enemy of black water and black.
Ever since he was conquered by Chi Yao, he had been promised to help him defeat him.
Today, the time has finally arrived!
The black water black snake can't wait to taste the blood of its old enemy, bite its flesh and blood, and conquer it ruthlessly!
As the winner of the last confrontation, Yellow Bird will naturally not back down when provoked.
唳——
A sharp whistle exploded in the sky, and a flash of yellow lightning fell from the sky, striking hard at the black water snake entrenched on the tree trunk.
