Lord of Bones

Chapter 408 Mengze Lake

Mengze Lake is less than ten thousand miles away from the depths of Yunmeng Daze.

For hundreds of miles there is a gray swamp.

The sprawling wetlands are filled with dark, strange water plants.

Some dead vegetation and remains of monster beasts sank in the water, adding an air of death to this desolate land.

Occasionally, a few strange birds would fly by, leaving a series of long calls, breaking the silence here.

There is a lake with a radius of about five miles in the center of the swamp.

The lake water is clear and sparkling, in sharp contrast to this desolate swamp area.

There are some sparse old trees growing around the lake.

Their curved branches are like the fingers of an old man, stretching towards the lake, as if praying for the moisture of the water.

The swamp area here is different from the swamp area just entering the outer edge of Yunmeng Daze.

The poison in the miasma is much weaker, and it doesn't take much energy to resist it in the Nirvana realm.

However, there are many dream soul grass growing here, which is a relatively common plant in Yunmeng Daze.

This herb is not poisonous and will not pose any physical threat to the Yuan.

But Dreamweed releases a gas that produces hallucinogenic effects.

Once you inhale too much, you will lose your mind and be trapped in a dream.

The Mengze Lake area is where Mengze grass is most concentrated.

Once it goes deep, those with weak soul power will surely be trapped to death.

According to the map drawn by the Dayan royal family, Mengze grass is located on a small island in the center of Mengze Lake.

Li Yuan walked on the cauldron and at the same time released his soul power to explore the surrounding situation.

Affected by the Dream Soul Grass, even with his powerful soul power, the range he could explore was less than ten miles, and he could only fly towards the center cautiously.

After flying for dozens of miles, no danger was found.

It's just that the entire Mengze Lake is eerily silent, except for the occasional strange scream coming from nowhere.

The closer you get to the center, the huge corpses lying on all kinds of giant strange trees and vines must be the monsters trapped here.

Some turbid potholes were constantly bubbling and emitting a rotten smell.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a faint sound of water flowing in front of him, and Li Yuan finally relaxed his heartstrings.

He knew that the water lake in the central area of ​​Mengze Lake was almost here.

The sound of water flowing became louder and louder, and relatively normal vegetation appeared in sight, full of life.

Landing slowly by the lake, you can vaguely see the small island in the lake through the water vapor.

Li Yuan swept across the lake and landed on the island.

The island is not big, covering an area of ​​about five to six hundred feet.

In addition to the outer perimeter being seven or eight feet above the lake level, the interior is a low-lying pit, with the deepest point being fifty or sixty feet deep.

The vegetation inside the pit is lush and various plants thrive.

The bottom is covered with colorful flowers and plants, their bright colors contrasting sharply with the surrounding green vegetation, making the whole place full of life and energy.

Around the pothole, there are several small waterfalls hanging down, with gurgling water and soft sounds, giving people a sense of tranquility and comfort.

Based on the layout of the island and the potholes, Li Yuan guessed that this place should have been the lair of several at least level five Yuan bone monsters.

After looking at it carefully for a moment, he slammed his feet hard on the ground, and his whole body was ejected towards the bottom of the pit.

After descending less than ten feet, Li Yuan's expression suddenly changed.

He tapped his toes hurriedly in the air, rolled sideways, and landed lightly on a stone platform on the cave wall.

He stepped carefully on the moss and hid behind the vines.

Not long after, two figures, one red and one gold, emerged from the woods at the bottom of the pit.

Li Yuan judged from her clothes that the middle-aged woman in red must be a strong person in Xuanhuo Sect.

The middle-aged man in golden robe may be the original person of the Jinlingshan Wheel Blade lineage.

They all had the perfect cultivation of Nirvana, and Li Yuan's tense body slowly relaxed.

As long as he is not the kind of Nirvana consummation genius who can leapfrog and kill enemies, no Yuan being in Nirvana can be his opponent.

He relaxed his body, moved his feet, and a small stone covered with moss rolled down.

"Boom-"

The sound of pebbles falling and hitting the rock wall echoed in the pit.

"Come out! No need to hide!"

The middle-aged man below looked up at Li Yuan's position.

The corners of Li Yuan's mouth raised slightly, and he cupped his hands towards the two people below and said, "You two are seniors from Jin Lingshan and Xuanhuo Sect.

"I don't have any ill intentions, I just want to get two Meng Ze grass."

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Two plants?
"Boy, I'm afraid you haven't woken up..."

"This is not an ordinary sixth-grade material. Two plants are worth one or two hundred thousand Xuanyuan Stones."

"It seems that you two want to monopolize some of the precious medicines here?" Li Yuan said coldly.

He moved the soles of his feet, jumped up, and rushed out of the pit instead of towards the bottom of the pit.

The middle-aged woman frowned slightly, twisted her wrist, and a big knife wrapped in thick fire flew straight towards Li Yuan's back.

Turning around suddenly, Li Yuan raised one hand, and the thunder dagger flashed out.

"boom--"

The moment the short thunder sword and the long fire sword touched, violent energy fluctuations spread out, and the entire pit trembled.

"Catch up, don't let that kid escape."

Looking at the figure disappearing over the pothole, the middle-aged woman shouted.

"That kid can't escape!"

The middle-aged man laughed wildly and followed him out of the pit.

Hundreds of feet away from the island, Li Yuan stabilized his figure, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and said secretly: "If you don't do anything inside, you are afraid of destroying the treasure."

"Why don't you run away?"

The middle-aged man who landed on a giant withered tree that protruded dozens of feet above the lake looked at Li Yuan coldly.

Then, he raised one hand, and a golden light swept out.

"Ugh-"

The golden light turned into a wheel blade, and the sound of the weapon was heard.

Confirming Li Yuan's previous guess, those who are good at Nirvana with this weapon may only have the Jinlingshan Wheel Blade lineage on the mainland.

The golden wheel blade rotated crazily, and the middle-aged man formed a hand seal, and then the energy in his body surged.

The golden energy on the wheel blade quickly condensed.

In an instant, a golden energy blade several feet in size was formed, flying straight towards Li Yuan.

The air is rippling and the water on the lake is rolling.

With this move, the middle-aged man was confident enough that even if he could not kill Li Yuan, he could still seriously injure him.

The next moment, when he saw Li Yuan's expression, his heart skipped a beat.

The young man's face was calm and he didn't make any dodge movements.

A whip of thunder and fire appeared in the young man's hand at some unknown time.

The long whip is covered with slithering electric snakes, making a sizzling sound and making it very dazzling.

The whip fell and smashed the golden energy wheel blade into pieces.

"Although they both achieved Nirvana, the Yuan Shu you performed is far worse than Diao Zhiyuan."

The moment the opponent cast Yuan Shu, Li Yuan recognized the technique.

He directly turned the six earth-shattering blades into thunder whips and strangled them before they were completely split.

"You are Li Yuan. Elder Diao's death was really your fault!" the middle-aged man yelled.

The Jinlingshan Wheel Blade lineage found the clue at the cost of losing a peak protector in the late Nirvana period.

The middle-aged man is also an elder of Jinlingshan and has rich experience. He knows that Li Yuan is stronger than him as soon as he takes action.

Moreover, he realized that the Thunder Fire Whip was not simple, so he immediately turned around and ran away frantically without thinking about it.

Seeing that the other party wanted to leave, Li Yuan was stunned and ran away just after the fight.

She put away the thunder whip, flipped her palm, and a big blue bow appeared. The bow string was fully drawn, and a thunder arrow was fired.

"Zizi-"

The thunderbolt's speed was so fast that it passed through the thin miasma and made a harsh electric sound.

A flame rushed out from the small island in the lake and intercepted the lightning arrow.

"boom--"

The two collided, creating a wave of electric fire that instantly burned away the miasma in a radius of more than a hundred feet.

A red figure swept out from the island and stood in front of the middle-aged man.

At this time, a rapidly rotating long knife appeared in the sky above the water lake.

Red flames danced on the fingertips of the middle-aged woman, and then formed a pillar of light that gathered flames, which contained extremely powerful energy, and shot towards the sky.

The squeezed air erupted into ripples.The light beam gathered by the flames collided with the long knife, and the space was shaken.

A square energy body half a foot in size and surrounded by flames gradually emerged from above.

Suddenly, the flaming energy body rushed nearly a hundred feet into the sky at an extremely fast speed.

At the same time, it quickly grew in size, and finally turned into a giant flame energy body of tens of feet, with a red python seemingly wrapped around it.

The middle-aged woman pointed towards Li Yuan, and the giant flame energy body suppressed it.

At this moment, the sound of thunder came from the sky covered by miasma.

Immediately afterwards, a huge thunder cloud handprint fell from the sky and hit the square energy body dozens of feet tall.

"collapse--"

The energy body that seemed to be wrapped around a red python was pressed into the lake by the thunder cloud handprint. In an instant, a huge wave with a height of more than ten feet appeared, sweeping dozens of miles in radius.

The middle-aged woman's face was full of astonishment. The Xuanyan Zhenyuan Seal, which she had practiced for decades, was suppressed by the other party with a casual palm and lost all its power.

She said to this: "If we fight alone, neither of us is as good as him, let's go together."

As soon as he finished speaking, a blue figure appeared in the sky, holding a thunder-fire dagger, and swung out two thunder-fire sword lights several feet long, striking at the middle-aged man and woman.

When the two people standing together saw this, they jumped up in different directions to avoid the sword attack.

Li Yuan fell into the lake, glanced left and right, and rushed towards the Xuanhuo Sect strongman.

It is obvious that the middle-aged woman plays a leading role among the two, and is much stronger than the middle-aged man.

Li Yuan slid on the water and was in front of the opponent in an instant.

The long flame sword and the short thunder-fire sword slashed at each other, causing ripples of energy to erupt.

The strong man from Jin Lingshan shouted loudly, swung the golden wheel blade, and hit Li Yuan directly on the back of his head.

Li Yuan flew and rolled to avoid the attack of the wheel blade.

"Bam—"

The wheel blade hit a strange tree several feet thick, cutting it off.

The middle-aged woman jumped up, holding the knife in both hands, flames surging, and struck out with the knife, like a fire python, trying to devour Li Yuan.

At this moment, the falling Li Yuan tapped the lake surface with his short knife, and the water surged up, perfectly avoiding the opponent's attack.

The flaming sword struck again, and Li Yuan turned slightly to avoid it.

"Bam—"

The long knife struck the island, creating a crack dozens of feet long.

The sword slashed through the air, and the middle-aged woman's body fell uncontrollably towards the lake.

Although the opponent's fall was short-lived, Li Yuan seized the opportunity.

He rushed forward, then spun around, gathering lightning on his right leg.

One leg slashed down, striking directly at the opponent's back, leaving no room for dodge.

"Whoa-"

Powerful force was transmitted to his back, and the Xuanhuo Sect strongman flew into the island, rolled several times and rolled from the island into the lake.

After attacking continuously, before Li Yuan could catch his breath, the wheel blade from behind spun again.

"Chong-"

A nine-color divine light flew out from the center of his eyebrows and turned into a crystal cauldron, blocking the wheel blade.

The air wave formed by the collision knocked Li Yuan away.

He landed on the ground and forcibly stabilized his figure. The lightning flashed under his feet and turned into lightning. In an instant, he was in front of the strong man from Jinling Mountain.

Revealing his figure, he slashed at the opponent's waist and abdomen with a knife, splitting him into two parts.

"boom--"

At this moment, a strong man from the Xuanhuo Sect soared into the sky from the lake and headed straight for Li Yuan.

"Zizzi-"

Suddenly, six thunder blades appeared out of thin air behind her, streaking across her body in succession.

The middle-aged woman stopped less than three feet away from Li Yuan and smashed into the ground, splashing dust.

After confirming that the other party was dead, Li Yuan lay down on the ground and relaxed.

"It is worthy of being the consummation of Nirvana of the Eight Sects."

Li Yuan murmured.

When killing Jiagu Guijun and Siko Aoye in Xijun Town, it was not so difficult.

After a while, he stood up and took away their Yuan Weapons and Yun Rings, then leaped into the air and climbed onto the branch of a thick tree.

A few of them dodged and disappeared into the pit, reaching the woods at the bottom of the pit.

The environment at the bottom of the pit was not affected by the recent war and was well preserved.

Perhaps it is because few living beings enter here, and the vitality is relatively strong, giving birth to heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Through the thick curved vines, you reach the waterfall hanging down from the cave wall like an emerald ribbon.

Beams of bright light gently sprinkled from the entrance of the cave, and the splashes of water were as bright as pearls.

The sound of water is like a melodious piece of music, sometimes exciting, sometimes calm, adding a bit of fairy charm.

Next to the waterfall, there are all kinds of colorful flowers, vines and trees.

They are tightly wrapped around each other, like ribbons decorating the cave walls.

These flowers and vines are colorful, including golden, fiery red, dark blue, and emerald green. They are like a rainbow descending, exuding a gorgeous glow, and are steaming under the reflection of the water vapor of the waterfall.

In the center of the flower vines, there are several small grasses about five inches high, with one stem and six leaves. Each of the six leaves is different, dreamlike and extremely eye-catching. This is Mengze grass.

This herb can relieve the pain caused by injuries in the Yuan's body, and is also one of the ingredients for refining some healing elixirs.

Different from the Dream Soul Grass, although this grass also has the effect of making Yuan Yu fall into a dream state, it is helpful to improve his cultivation.

Li Yuan walked over and took away a few precious medicines. He looked around again and found that there were a lot of fifth-level materials here.

He didn't pick it yet. The strong vitality here had something to do with them.

Being able to give birth to so many good things, Li Yuan can basically confirm Chu Lai's judgment.

This place was a lair of a high-level monster a long time ago.

After the monsters living here died, the flesh, blood, and bones turned into nutrients, changing the environment here, and also has the effect of isolating the miasma.

The two strong men of Xuanhuo Sect and Jinling Mountain valued these and wanted to practice and achieve breakthroughs here.

There were two people waiting next to Mengze Lake. Yunmeng Daze was full of dangers, so Li Yuan did not stay long.

.........

Outside Mengze Lake, under a strange tree.

"Several hours have passed. Will Li Yuan be in danger?" Yan Ningsi was a little worried.

Ling Chiyun glanced at the direction of Mengze Lake, frowned and whispered: "Wait another hour, if you haven't come out yet, I'll go in and have a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, a nine-color divine light swept out of Mengze Lake.

"Miss Yan, here it is."

Li Yuan handed two Mengze grasses to Yan Ningsi.

Yan Ningsi's face was filled with joy and she said, "Is this Meng Ze grass?"

"Yes." Li Yuan nodded, and then asked, "What are your plans now?"

“With my current strength, it is too dangerous in Yunmeng Daze.

"Now that I have got the Zemengbancao, I have to rush back. My father has been waiting for this for too long.

“And if King Jin’s affairs are exposed, he may have to take action in advance.

“Li Yuan, if I had come alone, let alone Baocao, I would have died in Xia Hong’s hands.

"Thank you for that."

Yan Ningsi bowed.

"Don't be like this. You're welcome, it's just a little effort.

"Didn't you also give me the map of Yunmeng Daze?"

Li Yuan leaned over and helped him up.

"I'll send you away now.

"By the way, Mr. Kureha, there should be no need for you to stay here."

"Yeah." Ling Chiyun nodded.

"I brought a silk pattern that can open the space transmission channel connected to Dayan Palace.

"Mr. Kureha, come with me."

After Yan Ningsi finished speaking, she twisted her wrist, and several thick stacks of patterned silk appeared in her hand, with more than a hundred of them.

It is worthy of being the first dynasty on the mainland, with so many patterns and silks on hand.

Li Yuan was still guessing before. Dayan had drawn such a detailed map and explored so many areas. If he returned the same way, he didn't know how many powerful people would be lost.

"Leave it to me to set up the formation." Li Yuandao.

It is naturally easier for the array master to arrange the teleportation array than Yan Ningsi.
