Chapter seven hundred and forty second flower bud
The abdomen of the mountain was very quiet, and occasionally a few faint sounds of water droplets came. Behind the rugged rocks around, the dark shadow moved with Feng Ruo and the other four. As they continued to move forward, the originally dark abdomen of the mountain gradually lit up, hazy, wandering like fog.
It seemed that there was a beautiful singing voice flowing in the depths of the hazy fog in front of me, making people want to indulge!
Of course, no one was intoxicated by Feng Ruo and the other four. Huo Qiong's expression at the front became darker and more serious, while Wei Chang and Gu Mu were sweating on their foreheads and their faces began to gradually distort. It was obvious that they were desperately trying to resist the pressure on their souls brought by the singing.
Among the four, Feng Ruoshi was the most relaxed. Not only was his soul powerful, but Huo Qiongzhi and others, more importantly, the Zishui Spirit in his body took the initiative to block the pressure of the soul for him, and the Zishui Spirit seemed to be able to absorb this soul fluctuation.
However, Feng Ruo is in a strange danger now, and he has no time to think about the abnormality that appears in Zishui Ling.
"Be careful, the branch of the Shixian ghost grass should be right in front of you. Remember, don't be greedy. If you can cut down a piece of branches, you will immediately return to Shuling, and then we will escape along the same path. Otherwise, if we anger the body of the Shixian ghost grass, none of us will leave alive!"
At this time, Huo Qiongzhi warned again.
"Why can't we go back to Jinshi Town directly through teleportation?" Gu Mu, who had been accustomed to silence, finally questioned for the first time. "Hey! Through teleportation? You must know that we are facing a fairy grass. In its controlled area, we cannot leave by teleportation. If you don't believe it, you can try it now?" Huo Qiongzhi sneered.
Hearing this, even Feng Ruo was shocked. He tried it secretly, but he could not teleport back to the Jinshi Town. Even at some point, the terrain map in the jade talisman became a little blurred. The power of the fairy grass was so powerful!
Everyone fell silent again, but no one wanted to retreat. They were already here. Of course, they had to get enough benefits to go back!
After moving forward for a while, the light in front became brighter and brighter. Feng Ruo could even clearly see that from the stone walls in the distance, things like bamboo shoots grew, the longest, about several feet shorter, and a few feet long. They all emit soft light, and the inside was translucent, full of rich fairy spirit.
There is no doubt that these bamboo shoot-like things are the branches of Shixian Ghost Grass!
"Quick! Cut off one per person and evacuate immediately!"
Huo Qiongzhi ordered loudly, but in fact, before his words had finished, Wei Chang and Gu Mu had already rushed up, cutting down the branches of Shixian ghost grass like breaking lotus roots. In a blink of an eye, everyone harvested more than a dozen.
However, Feng Ruo did not move. Huo Qiongzhi did not move either.
"Why don't you go?" Huo Qiongzhi looked at Feng Ruo in surprise, and asked, as if it was strange how Feng Ruo could withstand the temptation of those fairy grasses?
"Yes! Why didn't you go forward?" Feng Ruo also asked back.
"Hehe! Fellow Daoist Mu Fei, you are really hidden. I admire you very much!" Huo Qiongzhi did not answer, but laughed strangely, then turned around and swept the two Wei Chang and the others ahead who were trying hard to harvest the branches of Shixian Ghost Grass. What's strange is that Wei Chang and the two seemed to have completely forgotten the existence of Feng Ruo and Huo Qiongzhi, and they didn't even hear the conversation between them, but they just kept harvesting the branches of Shixian Ghost Grass that were growing!
Feng Ruo was not surprised at all about this strange situation. In fact, the large number of branches of Shixian ghost grass growing in the rock crack in front were all very powerful illusions. Although Wei Chang and Gu Mu were first-level earth immortals, they could still not compete with the power of this illusion, so they were directly trapped inside. Unless the body of Shixian ghost grass was collected at one time, they would never be able to escape. Even Feng Ruo could not save it, let alone Feng Ruo had no intention of this. What he really had to worry about now was Huo Qiongzhi, because Huo Qiongzhi obviously wanted to treat them as stepping stones. Without them paving the way in front, he would not be able to collect real immortal grass.
So, what tricks will he play next?
"Fellow Daoist Mu Fei, please, I know you must not believe what I said, but it doesn't matter. I can tell you clearly that the branch of Shixian Ghost Grass is in front, but which one is true and which one is false depends on your luck!" Huo Qiongzhi said with a smile, and he shook his body and walked forward directly, following Wei Chang and Gu Mu, without stopping. He was about to hit the stone wall, but he passed through like a wisp of air.
Seeing this scene, Feng Ruo frowned. How could this be possible? You must know that he could sense the terribleness of the illusion very clearly. Could it be that Huo Qiongzhi can already crack this illusion, or was this illusion arranged by him in advance?
"Impossible!" Feng Ruo directly rejected it in his heart, because if it were the illusion set up by Huo Qiong, it would definitely not be difficult for him, and he could not even trap Wei Chang and the others without realizing it. Therefore, there must be another reason!
Thinking of this, Feng Ruo's eyes looked at Wei Chang and Gu Mu again, who were trapped in the illusion. Do they have a grudge against Huo Qiongzhi, that is why Huo Qiongzhi framed them like this?
No, it is impossible. Huo Qiongzhi would not be so boring, not to mention that the cultivators in the Jinshi Town all come from different micro-worlds. What kind of hatred can they have?
"I understand!" Suddenly, a light of inspiration flashed through Feng Ruo's mind, and he finally found the problem. If he was not mistaken, the illusion in front should only take effect once, or when some people are trapped, the effect of the illusion will be weakened, so Huo Qiongzhi let Wei Chang and Gu Mu rush forward, and this should be the real reason why he brought them to collect the immortal grass.
Taking a deep breath, Feng Ruo walked forward like Huo Qiongzhi. The moment he stepped into the range of the illusion, an inexplicable warmth immediately surrounded him completely. Wei Chang and Gu Mu had disappeared before him. All the branches of Shixian ghost grass growing on the stone wall, and he couldn't help but want to collect it.
However, as Feng Ruo had expected before, this temptation was not enough to stop him completely. When he walked straight to the stone wall and was about to hit the stone wall, the scenery in front of him suddenly changed. He found that he was actually in a deep pool water. In the middle of the pool water, a brilliant light was flashing. It was an extremely wonderful and magical plant that could not be described in words. It looked a bit like orchid, with many leaves, and its roots were deeply penetrated into the pool water. The leaves were scattered, most of which were scattered into the rock wall above, and only a small part remained in this space.
In the center of those leaves, a light blue bud that was about to bloom was faintly visible. The bud was extremely large, almost the size of a wooden barrel. It can be imagined that if it really bloomed, it would be at least the size of a water tank. The faint fragrance that Feng Ruo and others smelled before was emitted from the bud.
Feng Ruo immediately saw Huo Qiongzhi again, and Huo Qiongzhi also discovered Feng Ruo, but he didn't seem to care about Feng Ruo's existence, but carefully approached the huge plant that was probably Shixian Ghost Grass from the pool water.
For some reason, Feng Ruo felt very inappropriate. Although he could not sense any threat from the Shixian Ghost Grass in this pool of water at this moment, he didn't know where the inappropriate came from?
At this time, seeing that Huo Qiongzhi was about to get close to the body of Shixian Ghost Grass, Feng Ruo knew that he could not wait any longer, because he was sure that the most valuable existence of Shixian Ghost Grass should be the huge light blue flower bud. If this flower bud was obtained by Huo Qiongzhi, don’t expect him to spit it out. At this time, the so-called so-called profit distribution became nonsense!
However, Feng Ruo did not dare to use the purple fire wings to rush over directly, because Huo Qiongzhi swam slowly with his hands and feet, so he must have some fear!
But the pool of water seems to be particularly solemn. With Feng Ruo's current strength, it is quite laborious to float on the surface of the pool of water, let alone swimming!
But how could this be difficult to keep Feng Ruo? Without thinking, he directly released the purple water spirit around his body, making his whole body turn into a faint purple color. Suddenly, his swimming speed was several times faster than before. In a blink of an eye, he was about to catch up with Huo Qiongzhi who was about to reach the center of the pond water.
Regardless of the astonished Huo Qiongzhi, Feng Ruo rushed into the middle of the Shixian Ghost Grass as fast as possible. It was strange that the Shixian Ghost Grass's body was not moving at this time, and it was not as aggressive as outside.
But at this moment, Feng Ruo had no time to think about these strange things, and reached in and picked the light blue flower buds of Shixian Ghost Grass!
Almost at the same time, a feeling of extreme danger suddenly arose in Feng Ruo's heart. In an instant, he suddenly understood what was wrong with the inappropriate feeling he felt at first. Unexpectedly, he was still hit by Huo Qiongzhi's trick! That guy was deliberately tempting him to pick the bud!
"Hahaha! Fellow Daoist Mu Fei, thank you! Fortunately, you are so smart, otherwise I really don't know how to tempt you. Now, you should slowly bear the anger of the Shixian Ghost Grass by yourself. The flower bud has grown for 100,000 years. It is the true inheritance of Shixian Ghost Grass. Also, I forgot to tell you that this Shixian Ghost Grass is an immortal grass, but it is definitely the cruelest and most terrifying existence among all the immortal grasses, haha!"
Haha laughed, Huo Qiongzhi jumped out of the pool water, and then carefully broke off two branches of Shixian ghost grass like bamboo shoots from the stone wall on the shore, and turned around and left. (To be continued)
