Immortality and Immortality: Liver Experience Begins in the Desert

Chapter 361 Destruction
Jiang Qiong sat up suddenly and found herself lying on the bed. It was quiet all around.

But that special fragrance still lingers in the air, as if it's everywhere.

“There’s something wrong with this scent!”

Jiang Qiong was shocked and immediately realized that something was wrong.

He forced himself to stay awake, quickly got up and walked to the window, pushed it open, and wanted to breathe some fresh air.

However, the fragrance was still everywhere, as if the whole village was enveloped in it.

Jiang Qiong took a deep breath and quickly circulated the spiritual power in his body, condensing it into a spiritual consciousness to protect his own spiritual consciousness.

He closed his eyes and tried to use his spiritual sense to explore the situation around him.

The spiritual consciousness is like an invisible tentacle, slowly extending to the surroundings.

As his spiritual awareness expanded, Jiang Qiong soon discovered that all the monks in the village had fallen into a strange state.

Their eyes were empty and their faces were expressionless, as if they had lost their self-awareness and were being controlled by some force.

In every corner of the village, these monks were performing a strange dance with uniform movements, as if they were performing some kind of sacrificial ritual.

"How is this going?"

Jiang Qiong was shocked, and continued to explore with his spiritual consciousness, trying to find more clues.

He saw Wang Chen, Zhao Qiang, Li Xue, Chen Feng and others among them, their movements were also stiff and mechanical.

Wang Chen's body spun in the air, his hands raised high, as if he was praying in a certain direction;

Zhao Qiang knelt on the ground, clasped his hands together, bowed his head and silently recited something;
Li Xue and Chen Feng were performing a strange dance. Their movements were graceful but full of a weird atmosphere.

Jiang Qiong's mood became increasingly heavy, and he realized that this situation was very abnormal.

His spiritual consciousness continued to explore further and he found an open space in the central area of ​​the village where more monks gathered.

They formed a large circle, in the center of which was an ancient altar with a blazing flame burning. Strange patterns could be vaguely seen flickering in the flame.

"It seems that this fragrance is related to this altar."

Jiang Qiong secretly guessed in his heart, thinking about waking up the familiar monk from this state.

He quickly walked out of the room and headed in the direction guided by his spiritual sense.

The air in the village was still filled with that special fragrance, but Jiang Qiong had already used his spiritual sense to protect himself and was not affected by it for the time being.

He carefully avoided the monks who were in a trance and found Wang Chen in a courtyard.

Wang Chen was standing in the middle of the courtyard at this moment, his body stiff and his eyes empty, as if he was performing some strange ritual.

Jiang Qiong walked up to him and patted his shoulder gently, trying to wake him up.

"Wake up!" Jiang Qiong called out in a low voice, but Wang Chen did not respond at all and was still immersed in his own world.

Jiang Qiong frowned and decided to increase his strength.

He circulated his spiritual power, condensed it into a powerful spiritual consciousness, and suddenly rushed into Wang Chen's consciousness.

Wang Chen's body shook violently, and a hint of clarity flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to his previous state.

"Such a strong influence, even my spiritual sense can't wake them up."

"It seems that we must find the source before we can completely eliminate it. But before that, we still have to try again. Maybe others can wake them up."

Jiang Qiong thought secretly in his heart and decided to find his other companions first, and then find a way to solve this problem.

He continued to move forward and soon found Zhao Qiang in another courtyard.

At this moment, Zhao Qiang was kneeling on the ground, with his hands clasped together, his head down, and muttering something silently.

Jiang Qiong also used his spiritual power to try to wake him up, but the effect was still not obvious.

Next, he found Li Xue and Chen Feng, whose conditions were similar to those of Wang Chen and Zhao Qiang.

Jiang Qiong gathered these companions together and then tried to find a way to release them from this state.

He brought these people back to the house one by one. Although they were still in a psychedelic state, at least they were gathered together for easy care.

Jiang Qiong stood in the middle of the living room, thinking about her next strategy.

He recalled the library mentioned by Youmingzi, perhaps there was some information about the secret realm and this fragrance.

Prepare to go to the library early the next morning to look for relevant information.

As the night grew darker, the lights in the village remained on, but the fragrance showed no sign of waning.

Jiang Qiong sat cross-legged in the middle of the living room, continuing to use his spiritual awareness to protect himself while remaining highly alert.

The next morning, just after daybreak, Jiang Qiong got up and went to the village library.

The library is located in the southwest corner of the village. It is an ancient and magnificent building.

Jiang Qiong pushed open the door of the library, which was filled with countless ancient books and scrolls, and the air was filled with a faint scent of books.

Jiang Qiong quickly began to look up information about the secret realm and the fragrance.

He flipped through several ancient books and finally found relevant records in an ancient book called "Secret Records of the Underworld".

"There is a special flower in the Netherworld, called the 'Soul-Crushing Flower'. This flower emits a special fragrance that can control a person's mind and make them fall into hallucinations and dreams."

"Legend has it that the scent of the Ecstasy Flower is inspired by an ancient sacrificial ritual, and the only way to remove the influence of the scent is to find and destroy the altar."

Seeing this, Jiang Qiong was shocked and immediately realized that the altar in the village was the source of the problem.

He quickly closed the book and decided to go to the altar, find it and destroy it.

Jiang Qiong left the library and headed towards the altar in the center of the village following the direction guided by his spiritual sense.

There were still many monks gathered around the altar, but now they all looked normal, unlike at night when they all looked like living people.

Glancing at this group of monks.

Jiang Qiong restrained his breath, his entire figure seemed transparent, and he approached the altar cautiously.

The flame on the altar was still burning, with strange patterns flickering in the flame.

Jiang Qiong took a deep breath, circulated his spiritual power, condensed it into a powerful spiritual consciousness, and rushed towards the altar.

However, just as her spiritual consciousness was about to touch the altar, a powerful recoil force suddenly bounced back. Jiang Qiong's body was shaken back a few steps, and she was secretly surprised.

"This altar has a strong protective power. We must find a way to break it."

Jiang Qiong pondered secretly in his heart.

He looked around and saw that the monks around the altar were awake but still performing strange rituals.

Fortunately, the realm of this group of monks is very low.

However, Jiang Qiong's figure was not detected.

Jiang Qiong decided to observe the structure of the altar first and find a way to break the protection.

He observed the altar carefully and found that it was engraved with various ancient patterns. These patterns seemed to be the source of the altar's protective power.

Jiang Qiong walked forward and tried to destroy the lines with his spiritual power, but every time his spiritual power touched the lines, it was bounced away by the powerful recoil force.

"We have to find the core of the altar before we can completely destroy it." Jiang Qiong's thoughts raced, and he decided to continue his investigation.

He walked around the altar and finally found a hidden stone slab on one side of the altar.

There were some ancient words engraved on the stone slab. Jiang Qiong identified them carefully and found that these words seemed to be an ancient spell.

Jiang Qiong took a deep breath, concentrated his mind, and began to silently recite the ancient spell on the stone slab.

His voice was deep and powerful, as if every syllable carried some mysterious power.

As the spell was chanted, the flames on the altar began to tremble slightly, and the light in the patterns became unstable.

"It's now!"

Jiang Qiong's heart tightened, and he suddenly circulated all his spiritual power, condensing it into a powerful shock wave that hit the core area of ​​the altar directly.

The altar made a deafening noise, the flames suddenly went out, and the entire altar began to shake violently, as if it would collapse at any time.

At the moment the altar was destroyed, earth-shaking changes took place in the village.

The monks who were originally immersed in a trance state suddenly let out painful howls.

Their bodies began to twist and deform, their skin turned gray, their eyes lost their luster, and they turned into hideous monsters.

"broken!"

Jiang Qiong was startled and quickly stepped back, preparing for the impending attack.

The monsters roared and rushed towards Jiang Qiong.

Jiang Qiong swung the sword in his hand, his spiritual power burst out, and the sword energy was like a rainbow, splitting the monster in half.

However, these monsters that were chopped in half did not die. Their bodies healed quickly, and they stood up again and continued to attack Jiang Qiong.

"These monsters are actually immortal!"

Jiang Qiong frowned, realizing that the situation was more serious than he had imagined. He kept swinging his sword, trying to temporarily repel the monsters.

But their number is so great that it is almost endless.

Just when Jiang Qiong was in a tough battle, he suddenly had an idea and remembered the legend of the bewitching flower mentioned in the "Secret Records of the Underworld".

The scent of the Ecstasy Flower is inspired by an ancient sacrificial ritual, and the influence of the scent can only be removed by finding and destroying the altar.

Although he had destroyed the altar, some force was clearly maintaining the existence of these monsters.

"We must find the real source!"

Jiang Qiong made up his mind and decided to take a risk.

He quickly activated his spiritual power and expanded his spiritual awareness to the limit, trying to find the real source hidden in the village.

The spiritual consciousness quickly traveled through the village, and finally discovered a powerful energy fluctuation deep underground in the village.

"Sure enough, there is a hidden core!"

Jiang Qiong was delighted and quickly moved deeper underground. He waved his sword to repel the monsters while moving forward in the direction guided by his spiritual consciousness.

Finally, he found an entrance leading underground in a hidden area of ​​the village.

Jiang Qiong jumped into the entrance without hesitation and went down along the narrow passage.

The passage was covered with ancient runes, and the air was filled with a thick chill.

Jiang Qiong was fully focused and moved forward cautiously, and finally found a huge underground cave at the end of the passage.

In the center of the cave, stands an even more ancient altar, on which burns a faint blue flame. A strange flower can be vaguely seen in the flame, and that is the Ecstasy Flower!
Jiang Qiong was shocked and realized that this was the real source of the monsters' existence.

"Only by destroying this altar can we completely eliminate the monsters' immortality!"

Jiang Qiong made a decision in his heart. He took a deep breath, gathered all his spiritual power, and prepared to launch the final attack.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to make a move, a black shadow suddenly flashed from behind the altar and blocked his way.

Blocking the way was an old man in a black robe, his face covered with deep wrinkles and his eyes flashed with a cold light.

The old man raised his mouth slightly, revealing a strange smile, and sneered:

“Young man, do you think you can destroy this altar so easily?”

Jiang Qiong frowned and looked at the old man warily, "Who are you?"

The old man sneered and said arrogantly: "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you will never be able to destroy this altar."

After saying that, he swung the scepter in his hand violently, and a powerful black energy wave hit Jiang Qiong directly.

Jiang Qiong quickly swung his sword to block, and the two powerful forces collided in the air, making a deafening noise.

Jiang Qiong felt a huge impact and her body involuntarily took a few steps back.

“I can only try my best!”

Jiang Qiong made a secret decision in his heart, and quickly circulated the spiritual power in his body, condensing it into a powerful sword energy, and slashed at the old man fiercely.

The old man snorted coldly, swung his scepter, and the black energy waves once again met the sword energy.

The two forces collided violently in the air, and the air in the cave seemed to vibrate.

Jiang Qiong gritted his teeth and mobilized his spiritual power with all his strength. The sword energy gradually suppressed the black energy fluctuations and finally defeated the old man's defense in one fell swoop.

The old man howled in pain. His body was hit by the sword energy. He took a few steps back and spurted out blood from his mouth.

Jiang Qiong seized the opportunity, rushed forward quickly, and slashed at the enchantment flower on the altar with a sword.

The sword light was like a rainbow, striking directly at the core of the bewitching flower.

The altar made a deafening noise, the dark blue flame suddenly went out, and the Enchantress Flower turned to ashes in the sword light.

The entire cave began to shake violently, and rocks fell from the roof, as if the earth was roaring.

When the old man saw the altar being destroyed and the love-flower turning into ashes, his face instantly became hideous and terrifying.

He roared, with a crazy light flashing in his eyes, and swung the scepter in his hand violently. The black energy waves once again gathered into a powerful shock wave, hitting Jiang Qiong directly.

"How dare you destroy the Ecstasy Flower! I will make you pay the price!"

The old man's voice was filled with anger and despair. His body was wrapped in black energy and seemed to have turned into a ball of black flame.

Jiang Qiong felt the old man's powerful anger and murderous intent, and his heart trembled. He quickly circulated his spiritual power, condensing it into a spiritual power shield to block in front of himself.

The black shock wave hit the spiritual shield with a deafening noise. Jiang Qiong felt a huge impact and his body involuntarily took a few steps back.

"Humph, dying struggle!"

Jiang Qiong clenched her teeth, a determined light flashed in her eyes, and she went all out without any hesitation.

He quickly adjusted his breathing and concentrated all his spiritual power. The long sword in his hand made a buzzing sound, and the sword energy was like a rainbow as he slashed at the old man again.

The sword flashed, like a bolt of lightning cutting through the darkness and striking the old man's chest.

The old man snorted coldly and waved his scepter. The black energy once again gathered into a barrier, trying to block Jiang Qiong's attack.
