Chapter 308 Heart of Bitter Grass
A desolate and uninhabited land.

"step, step"

A boy, dressed in plain clothes, is roaming in this boundless space.

Every step the young man stepped down, there were bursts of smoke and dust everywhere. From a distance, it was like a wave of waves, flipping slightly in this barren world like a desert.

"Is this... the world of spiritual consciousness?"

Chen Yao, stand here.

"My head hurts so much...!"

Suddenly, bursts of severe pain came from Chen Yao's forehead, which made him frown and nod his head. He stretched out his hand to rub it, but found that the boundless pain seemed to come from the deepest part of his body.

Speaking of pain, Chen Yao is no stranger. After stepping into the fairy gate, Chen Yao has experienced countless kinds of piercing pain.Whether it is a monster chasing, or being injured by someone, or getting some kind of miraculous exercise or elixir, Chen Yao will always feel that kind of boundless pain when he needs to refine it.

However, this time, the pain was different, it was not the kind of sharp pain that penetrated into the bone marrow, but a slow and fatal pain, like countless tiny bugs slowly gnawing at his body Flesh and flesh, want to completely disintegrate him from the body.

"Huh...huh...huh..."

Chen Yao panted heavily, and it took him a while to finally straighten out his breath, but the pain in his body remained undiminished, instead it seemed to deepen, deeply engraved into the depths of his mind.

Where does this pain come from?Are you in the world of spiritual consciousness?There are countless questions in Chen Yao's mind and he wants to find the answer, but he doesn't know where to start.

"Just now... I'm not here..."

Shaking his head, Chen Yao thought about it carefully, why did he appear here?What happened before?His mind was in chaos, with countless pictures superimposed, many of which seemed familiar, and many of them were very strange.

"huhuhuhu"

One after another pictures danced, most of the pictures that Chen Yao knew had already been taken into his mind, and the rest were those strange and strange images.

Most of these images are pure black, without any impurities, as if they are in a deep water where light cannot reach them at all, making people feel fear rising from the bottom of their hearts.

On some screens, a very subtle light shone, which seemed to be shining from a very far away place, making Chen Yao dazed.

"These... are not my memories."

After distinguishing for a long time, Chen Yao finally determined that a considerable part of the picture that appeared in front of him did not belong to him.But in his spiritual world, why would there be a memory picture that does not belong to him?Chen Yao was puzzled.

"crash"

I don't know how long these images have been flying, but suddenly a breeze blows, and the images seem to fall apart, falling apart quickly, all scattered on the ground, and disappear.

Although the pictures disappeared, the feeling that those dark pictures brought to Chen Yao did not dissipate.

Chen Yao was a little out of breath, as if he was underwater, and his chest felt tight.

"The bottom of the water... that's right! I was at the bottom of the water before! The Cangyue Mountains, the bottom of the Xu River!"

And the disappearance of the picture seemed to make Chen Yao's mind clear all of a sudden. The memories that didn't belong to him were completely lost, wandering to some corner, and Chen Yao's memory became coherent again.

That's right, before the blink of an eye, Chen Yao was still at the bottom of the magical Xu River under the Cangyue Mountains.

In order to rescue Xu who was controlled by the stone-skinned man, Chen Yao ventured into the water, found the silver needle controlling Xu, and pulled out the silver needle at the very moment when Shenfeng Wuying attacked.

However, Chen Yao had no memory of what happened after that.

"I...what did I experience later...? Why did I suddenly enter the world of spiritual consciousness??"

Chen Yao thought hard, but still couldn't find the answer. Just when he started to think of a way to leave this boundless world of spiritual consciousness, a voice sounded.

"Step, step, step, step"

Behind Chen Yao, there was a sound of footsteps.

"who is it……?!!!"

Chen Yao's heart suddenly seemed to be caught by some invisible hand, and it stopped beating for an instant. When he looked back suddenly, he was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground.

"This, this, this...!"

"step, step"

Not far in front of Chen Yao, a figure was slowly approaching.

"In my spiritual world, there are... other people exist...!!!"

Chen Yao was so surprised that he couldn't believe this fact.

The world of spiritual consciousness is the deepest inner world of a monk. The landforms and landscapes here are all fictitious, and all are the feedback of the monk's deep thoughts and physical feelings.

In such an extremely private world, it is absolutely impossible for other people to exist, because if someone enters the spiritual world of a monk, it is equivalent to changing the mind and thoughts of the monk at the subconscious level.The consequences are unimaginable, and it is even possible to completely destroy or control the other party fundamentally!
Before this time, Chen Yao had also escaped into the world of spiritual consciousness many times, and no matter how the scene changed every time, there was only one thing that would not change:
That is, in Chen Yao's spiritual world, there will always be only Chen Yao alone.

However, at this time, a second person appeared in Chen Yao's spiritual world...!
"Who are you……?!!"

After finally calming down, Chen Yao hurriedly got up, ignoring the weirdness and strangeness, and asked loudly to the visitor.

"Tread, step, step"

However, the only answer to him was the sound of eternal footsteps.

"tread"

I don't know how long it took, but in Chen Yao's view, after almost a long time like a century, that figure finally walked in front of Chen Yao.

"It's you……??"

In front of Chen Yao, a stranger in a black robe stood alone. Beside him, there seemed to be faint waves of water flowing, exuding waves of boundless chill.

"Hurrah..."

This person's face was hidden under a strange mist, and it was impossible to see clearly, even whether it was a man or a woman.

But on it, Chen Yao felt a somewhat familiar aura.

It was a special cold air emitted by an underground river.

"You...are you false?"

"..."

The person who came did not answer. Compared with animal monsters, if mountains, rivers and mountains become monsters, their way of understanding the world will inevitably be very different from animals.

This is like in the eyes of animals, the rising and setting of a day can be very fast or very long.But for plants, in their hundreds of thousands of years of life, one day is too short to be worth mentioning.

So in most cases, the xinxing of plant monsters will be much slower than that of animal monsters.

Based on this, it is not difficult to infer what kind of character the more silent and indifferent Shanshui monster will have.

"Swish"

Chen Yao was still trying to communicate with Xu, but the latter slowly stretched out a hand silently.

On that hand, there was a tiny seed, whose age and species could not be discerned, only a distant and ancient aura was felt.

"Xu, you mean, you want me to accept this seed...?"

Chen Yao asked tentatively, Xu still didn't answer, but slowly sent the seeds to Chen Yao's mouth.

"huhu"

The boundless chill hit, making Chen Yao shiver involuntarily. When he saw the seeds near his mouth, he thought twice, but mustered up the courage to swallow them.

"Well……!"

The moment the seed was swallowed, Chen Yao regretted it:
This seed is actually a bitter grass seed!
Bitter grass, Chen Yao was forced to refine part of it under the coercion of Yingzhao.Although the effect of refining is remarkable, both the immortal energy and demon energy have been improved extremely quickly.But the pain and suffering during the refining process was something Chen Yao never wanted to experience again in his life.

"pump"

The bitter grass grew extremely fast, and it grew crazily in Chen Yao's body in an instant, and bursts of intense burning sensation rose in Chen Yao's abdomen, which made him unable to hold on any longer, and fell to the ground.

"Tread, step, step"

But at this time, Xu, who had been silent all this time, didn't say anything to Chen Yao, but turned around and walked away slowly.

"False... False!"

Chen Yao struggled in pain, watching Xu gradually walk away, slowly disappearing into the wind and sand, and finally his eyes went dark, and he passed out.

In Chen Yao's body, the wild movement of bitter grass also stopped suddenly, quietly waiting for the mother to wake up.

Back to the real world.

"Could that monster... be treating Chen Yao...?!"

Beside the Xu River, the huge waves had subsided slowly, Feiyunhe, Yue'er, and Qisuzhishou stood aside, watching from a distance.

"huhu"

By the river, Chen Yao fell to the ground, his life and death uncertain. Beside him, a stranger nodded slightly, observing Chen Yao's situation carefully. From time to time, there was a monster in his hand, covering Chen Yao .

Fei Yunhe keenly sensed that the monster might have accidentally injured Chen Yao, and now he was trying to find a way to treat it, so he stopped Yue'er from coming forward.

After a while, this wonderful silent confrontation finally came to an end. There was no obvious trauma on Chen Yao's body, and the stranger also straightened up and walked towards the river in silence.

"drift"

A huge lotus leaf appeared in the river. The stranger helped Chen Yao up and presented the lotus leaf, and then he himself sat on the lotus leaf, facing the direction of Yue'er and the others, and remained silent.

"Senior, do you mean..."

After observing for a long time, Fei Yunhe finally understood a little bit, squinted his eyes and said: "Let's cross the river together on lotus leaves?"

"..."

The stranger still didn't say a word, but his attitude of not making any objection had already told Fei Yunhe his answer.

"Elder Feiyunhe, do we really want to cross the river on its lotus leaves?" Yue'er asked anxiously, "Why do I always feel a little cold, as if there is some extreme danger??"

Fei Yunhe sighed softly, smiled wryly and said: "For the present plan, we can only believe Chen Yao's words, and pray that he is indeed kind to this senior, and can carry us across the river..."
