The Heavens: A Qing, the Yue Girl at the beginning

The ground that Xia Mi was walking on seemed to come alive at this moment. It changed from being hard as before to being extremely soft. It began to fluctuate in an incredible way and turned into a surging sea of ​​mud.

The subtle fluctuations of vital energy are like streams that converge into rivers, penetrate deep into the soil, and meander along complex paths, invisibly weaving a huge perception network that covers the entire interior of the green building, as if the earth itself is breathing.

The nearby roads, trees, vines, and even the rotten leaves and dust that had been dormant for years, swayed gently with this force, like ripples on the water, spreading layer by layer.

The rotten leaves were dry and decayed, as if weathered, without any moisture. However, all kinds of unknown trees and vines grew extremely densely around them, filling the entire green building.

Through the gaps between these branches, there are many intricate runes on the inner wall of the green building, shining with a faint light, which naturally reveals a sacred feeling. Among the crowded woods stand some strange stone figurines, without facial features, but exuding a strange murderous intent.

"The gravity anomaly should come from the stone figurines that suppress the terrain."

Xia Mi explained, her voice echoing in the empty corridor, sounding particularly clear: "The land here is much denser than the outside world, as if the mountain peaks were forcibly compressed into a river valley. Even my spiritual power can hardly shake it. No wonder the blind dragon couldn't burrow into the ground to escape."

"Don't touch the runes on the building." Zhao Qing nodded in agreement. "Unless something unexpected happens, the outer solar fire is far from the peak power of this formation. The aura leaked during the fight with the blind dragon and the lightning strikes it caused are the real fatalities."

In the midst of this chaos, a pink mist mixed with green, yellow and gray rose quietly, and a heart-pounding aura quickly spread. It was a powerful mental pressure from ancient creatures, and even if it was not deliberately used, it was enough to kill many low-level practitioners instantly.

In the expanding fog, a dark mass appeared, then quickly grew larger, became transparent, and became clearer.

It was a black head like a giant catfish, with dozens of black whiskers dangling from its lower jaw, but it had no mouth and no eyes. On the flat, round, dark head, there were only a dozen or so spots that shone with crystal light, like black gemstones.

The head, which is larger than several adults combined, has no facial features, which makes people feel weird. The cruel and powerful light shining in those black spots makes people feel the breath of death.

This strange black insect is, of course, the legendary blind dragon whose strength is no less than that of a seventh-level being. It cannot see things, but its perception of breath is dozens of times that of ordinary practitioners. When it noticed an intrusion from the outside world, it naturally attracted its attention.

As a carnivorous spirit beast that feeds on qi and blood, it has been imprisoned here for hundreds of years. This is because the powerful cultivator who locked it in at that time knew the blind dragon's ability to endure hunger and did not provide it with enough food to increase its desire to eat and devour everything.

Over the years, its only food has been the insects growing in this green building, and some birds and beasts that accidentally entered the green palace. Although these could barely keep it alive, the hunger over the years was the greatest torture, driving it to attack and eat every practitioner who entered this place.

However, when the blind dragon sensed the arrival of Xia Mi and Zhao Qing, it did not attack immediately. Instead, its huge head turned slightly to the side, and those black spots continued to shine with crystal light, as if it was "watching" Xia Mi in a special way.

This is because it could clearly sense that the surrounding land was fluctuating in a way that it could not understand, as if an invisible hand was controlling everything, while the two people opposite did not show any obvious hostility.

The seemingly gentle yet unfathomable earth energy control technique made the Blind Dragon feel unprecedented doubt and uneasiness. He judged that the opponent's strength was very likely above his own, and even surpassed him in the areas he was best at.

This is much more terrifying than the cultivator who broke into this place decades ago, and is almost as terrifying as the unfathomable array setter back then.

Although it could mobilize the power of the formation to assist in fighting the enemy, years of imprisonment had taught it to be cautious and tolerant. The blind dragon quickly stopped and quietly observed the two people in front of it with a high degree of vigilance, and even its pressure was restrained a lot.

Although it cannot speak, it is quite intelligent and soon realizes that this unusual intrusion may be the key to regaining its freedom, or it may bring it even greater disaster.

When the blind dragon was "staring" at Xia Mi closely, Xia Mi was also looking at the other party with an equally strange look. The fog gradually dissipated, and behind the huge black head was a round body like a worm. However, this body was very thin, like skin wrapped around bones.

"It looks like an earthworm magnified nearly a thousand times. I have to say, this blind dragon is really ugly in a unique way. If it is really tamed and used as a mount, I am afraid it will become the focus wherever it goes. I don't know how many children will be scared..."

Zhao Qing spoke calmly, commenting on this: "But judging from its length of about eighty or ninety meters, it seems to be quite impressive in terms of pure strength. Its output may be several times stronger than that of human practitioners of the same realm. Its true essence reserves are estimated to be more than ten times. Its defense may be average, but its vitality is extremely tenacious."

“The blind dragon turned out to be a super giant earthworm? Does it have the biological characteristics of an earthworm?”

Xia Mi walked towards the side of the blind dragon, looking at the middle part of its body, with a playful tone: "As we all know, when an earthworm is cut into multiple sections, each section can grow back into a new individual. If the blind dragon also has this ability, then..."

“That’s a question that’s definitely worth exploring.”

Zhao Qing walked to the other side and also glanced at the middle of the blind dragon, then continued chatting: "In addition, the reproductive capacity of earthworms is also very outstanding. Not considering asexual reproduction by splitting and regeneration, their hermaphroditic characteristics can also achieve self-fertilization reproduction with artificial help..."

Hearing this, Xia Mi's eyes lit up, and she pointed at the location of the blind dragon's reproductive opening with her fingers: "If we breed hundreds or thousands of blind dragons, wouldn't it be an invincible army, or an extremely efficient and tireless construction team?"

Although the blind dragon basically could not understand what the two were saying because it had had very little contact with humans, it felt the other party's casual and unfocused attitude and felt an inexplicable chill. Its huge insect body felt cold and began to tremble slightly.

It hesitated for a moment, looking at the two people standing by seemingly defenseless, just like tourists visiting a garden and chatting and laughing. The earth-based aura that had touched it before slowly dissipated, and the desire for food that had been temporarily suppressed took over again.

It paused for a few breaths, shook its head slightly, and first chose to attack Zhao Qing, who had no outstanding performance and looked weaker.

With the rumbling of hunger like thunder, the many flesh whiskers on the blind dragon's head fluttered, and the ground beneath it surged with dim yellow air waves. Dozens of straight lines instantly appeared on the ground, extending rapidly towards her body. In an instant, the air was filled with a pure and strong sense of cutting and tearing, as if countless invisible swords were passing through the ground, and all the dead leaves and vines around were shattered into extremely fine powder, turning into a large ball of green, yellow and gray smoke.

This is the ultimate attack skill that the blind dragon has honed after being trapped here for many years in order to escape.

There are no unnecessary changes, only the pursuit of strength, speed and concentration. It seems clumsy and ridiculous, but if you want to take this blow head-on, even a grandmaster at the peak of the seventh realm may not feel good.

Just as Zhao Qing had just judged, its output was several times stronger than that of human practitioners at the same level, and it had an amazing advantage in strength. Therefore, the shortcoming that this giant spiritual beast most needed to make up for was undoubtedly the mysterious changes in its moves and the principles of life and death.

After all, no matter how hard one studies, without extensive knowledge, it is impossible for the Blind Dragon to create any exquisite moves with his not-so-high talent. If one wants to be ingenious and overwhelm others with force, one must at least have achieved the level of "great ingenuity".

As her mind moved slightly, thousands of clean and transparent crystal lines suddenly appeared in front of Huang Lang. They crisscrossed irregularly and spread rapidly in the air. They seemed to have no roots or bases, but seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, suspended and fixed in the void.

Each straight yellow line was surrounded by hundreds of crystal lines on the way forward. The thick true energy attached to it was peeled off layer by layer, and tiny invisible crystal dust was splashed out amid countless overlapping "hissing" cracking sounds.

Almost at the same moment, the spreading crystal dust shattered again and transformed into rapidly expanding heaven and earth energy, which blew up a hurricane between the green buildings. The whistling sound was deafening, and it continued to echo in the entire dry river valley that was blocked by the outer edge of the water mist.

The next moment, Zhao Qing rushed towards the opponent against the strong wind. The edge of his swinging fist stirred up a circle of bright light curtain like sparks and glass. His bones suddenly made crackling sounds. When the blind dragon was about to launch a stronger beam attack with his blind fist, he hit it in the jaw.

This was one of the gains she had made recently from using her body spirit to explore the dragon world. It simulated the bone transformation of the "dragon bone state" of humanoid dragons. By increasing the number of bones, she could adjust the position and lock in battle, temporarily transforming the original labor-intensive lever into a labor-saving lever, thereby amplifying the effect of strength.

For "Emperor" level hybrids, the dragon bone state can increase their strength by three times, and their defense is also significantly improved, thus creating an absolute gap between them and ordinary hybrids.

However, in Zhao Qing's hands, since he had already completed the high development of Gang Jin and comprehensive control of the body, the proportion of strength generated by tendons and bones was limited, and he could only exert several times more strength in close combat. This was mainly due to the new idea of ​​drastically changing the bone morphology to optimize the mechanical structure.

The blind dragon did not have any time to react or struggle. Its heavy body, which weighed at least four or five hundred tons, was blasted high into the sky by this punch in the high-gravity environment, and rushed straight to the water mist belt above the green building, and was about to leave the boundary of the formation.

However, after sensing the majestic aura released by the Blind Dragon and the Strange Seven Realms, and confirming that one of them was flying away quickly, the "Blue Thunder Sky Absolute Array" that enveloped the place was finally officially activated.

In an instant, all the runes on the inner wall of the green building suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and countless green lightning bolts instantly covered the entire inner ceiling, crisscrossing and flowing, echoing the thousands of scarlet-gold flaming swords that were synchronously generated in the mist outside.

A pillar of green lightning, several circles thick, fell like a curtain, and in a flash, it was about to blast everyone present, including the Blind Dragon, into pieces. The golden flaming sword formed by true fire quickly circled and danced, intending to burn anyone with a strange aura into ashes.

The blind dragon in the air curled up in fear. It knew very well that such a thunder and fire attack was not enough to kill itself with its tenacious vitality, but it would definitely cause unprecedented and difficult to recover painful damage. Therefore, it felt deeply regretful for provoking Zhao Qing just now.

At this moment, the thick water mist that was illuminated by the strong light as bright as day suddenly condensed into azure blue ice crystals, and broke apart and gushed out in the direction of the blind dragon, colliding with the earth-shaking lightning and flames around it, and turned into crystal ice mist that looked like flowers scattered by a fairy.

Zhao Qing's figure appeared silently in front of the blind dragon that was struggling to open a yellow sword curtain. His fingers, which were shining with strange light, penetrated the true energy barrier directly, stopped its rising momentum on the spot, pressed it back, and floated down from the air.

During this time, dense green electric lights and golden flames passed by her and the blind dragon at a distance of less than half a foot. The mighty force fell on the empty space mixed with flying ice crystals, and was reabsorbed and recycled by the magic circle itself.

Part of it returned to the scorching sun sand that covered the valley, and part of it merged into the runes of the blue building.

It turned out that Zhao Qing had already roughly cracked the way the formation here identified abnormal energy, and successfully controlled the trajectory of its attack with illusory bait. This principle was imitated from the characteristic of this formation that eliminates perception when it conceals itself, which is like giving someone a taste of their own medicine.

Fundamentally, this kind of high-level formation with a certain degree of intelligence, just like human practitioners, has to use certain "senses" to lock and judge the target, which is just what she is proficient in, the "Five Elements Burial Heart Sword" and her profound spiritual cultivation.

"You launched a surprise attack out of nowhere. Did you learn your lesson this time?" She grabbed the blind dragon's trembling body and swung it accurately along the winding corridor in the garden like a whip. When it touched the ground, the force suddenly dissipated, causing its muscles and meridians to become limp and powerless.

The blind dragon lay stiffly on the ground. Due to the loss of strength, his body became several times longer, as if he had changed from an elastic rubber band to a dry and fluffy hemp rope. Seeing Zhao Qing, who had easily beaten him, and Xia Mi, who might be no less powerful than him, approaching slowly, he quickly let out a whine of obedience.

In its view, being able to completely avoid the attack of the Qinglei Tianjue Formation in some way naturally meant that the other party had the ability to free itself from this predicament. In order for the two to be willing to put aside their past grudges and take itself with them, it had to lower its posture as much as possible.

Sensing the change in the blind dragon's mentality, Zhao Qing winked at Xia Mi, and when the bombardment outside stopped, he signaled it to stay where it was and wait, and not to come closer. The two of them first entered the core area of ​​the green building and performed the classic tactic of playing hard to get.

Next, they walked inward along the dense forest path and soon crossed a clear green line.

Among the dead leaves, there are many green crystals with a small part exposed, emitting a faint green light, like a continuous green wave.
