Half-life immortal

Chapter 6 Chance or Nightmare, Ziyingling Bamboo and the Straw Demon

She thought for a long time, but still got no results, so she sighed and thought:

This is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger!Sin, it's better to part ways after leaving this bamboo forest, it's too dangerous to go with this person, let's talk about apprenticeship or something in the next life.This kind of desperate life doesn't seem to be suitable for her?
Xue Qinglan's thoughts suddenly changed drastically. She decided to treat this experience as a nightmare and forget about this man once she left here.There is also apprenticeship and so on, which is actually unnecessary. She is living a good life now. She occasionally cheats and cheats people. She has been here for so many years, so why bother to cultivate some kind of immortal?Looking for guilt!Why don't you go to a good place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to squander all your windfall!
She already had a plan in mind, but since she was the one who wanted to follow in shamelessly, it wouldn't be good to ask him to turn back right away, right?It would be even worse if she was allowed to go alone. What if the big crow still had a wife?So she could only patiently continue to follow this dangerous man.

The two continued to move forward. After a while, the surrounding bamboos became darker and darker, and some of them were already purple or black. It was still dark tomorrow, but the surrounding area was full of clouds, which looked a little strange.

"Hey, aren't these bamboos good? They're all dark."

Xue Qinglan didn't want to leave for a long time, not only was she tired from walking, but she was also tired from worrying all the time.If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have come in with him, and I regretted it and got angry!

"This bamboo is not Ziying." Feng Yutian spoke very concisely, and continued walking forward without looking back.

"Oh, maybe there isn't one here? I must have made a mistake. Let's go back soon?" She changed the subject and grabbed his sleeve to stop him from walking.

He sighed helplessly: "Miss Qing, I can feel that the aura here is extremely abundant, and the climate is quite suitable. It is the best place for Ziyingzhu to grow. I guess it should be not far ahead."

"Not far ahead? As you said, let's go for another quarter of an hour... just the last quarter of an hour! If you still can't find it, turn around and leave!"

"Okay." He agreed happily.

In a quarter of an hour...

Xue Qinglan counted the time silently in her heart, and when she finally reached it, she hurriedly said, "It's a quarter of an hour! Let's get out!"

She didn't even look at it and wanted to pull Feng Yutian to walk in the opposite direction, but she didn't pull it, and almost fell on him instead.

She immediately said indignantly: "Hey, what are you doing? Breaking the contract?"

Feng Yutian shook his head, pointed his finger far ahead, and said: "There."

"Ah? Over there? What's over there?" Xue Qinglan subconsciously looked in the direction of his finger, and didn't realize what he was saying for a while.After looking intently, I found that the dark place in the distance seemed to emit a glittering purple light, like an amethyst-like crystal clear light.

The purple light is very faint, and because of its darker color, it is not conspicuous, and it is impossible to see it unless you look carefully.If Feng Yutian hadn't pointed it out, she definitely wouldn't have noticed.

According to Feng Yutian's description, Ziyingzhu emits a faint purple halo, but this kind of light is so elegant that it can't be seen at all during the day, even at night it is weaker than fireflies.Fortunately, there are dark bamboos all around this place, which can set off the slight purple reflection of bamboo light.

She froze for a moment, and murmured in a low voice, "No way? Did you really find it?"

Feng Yutian had been looking for this thing for some time, so naturally he would not admit his mistake, ignored the little resentment in Xue Qinglan's heart, and strode forward.

Xue Qinglan had no choice but to keep up with grievances, but when she got closer, and looked at those Ziying bamboos carefully, they really looked like finely carved amethyst bamboos. beauty.She was still a girl at heart, she immediately fell in love with something beautiful when she saw it, and wondered if she should take a few pieces home with her.

There are a lot of Ziying bamboos here, at least forty or fifty long bamboos, and there are quite a few young shoots.Feng Yutian didn't move the young bamboos, he just took a few long bamboos, cut them into sections and wrapped them in black cloth.After doing this, the expression on his face finally eased, and it was no longer so gloomy.

Xue Qinglan took two steps closer, squatted on the ground, touched the crystal-like jade-like tender purple bamboo shoots, and whispered: "It's really beautiful... Well, anyway, it's finally done."

As soon as she finished speaking, the wind suddenly picked up.

This gust of wind came very strangely, not only Feng Yutian, but also she felt a piercing chill, with a tightening of her fingers, half of the tender shoot of Ziyingzhu was broken off by her.

"Wait, how dare you!"

A strange and awkward sound suddenly sounded, and immediately after that, a bunch of straw suddenly emerged from the pile of bamboo leaves under his feet, as if trying to grab Xue Qinglan's feet.

"Wow ah ah ah--"

Xue Qinglan turned pale with fright and hurriedly dodged.Her reaction was still very fast, but her center of gravity was inevitably unstable when hiding, and she fell on a pile of purple bamboos.

"monster!"

Feng Yutian spoke at the same time as her, almost immediately he recognized that the owner of the voice must be a "monster" who is a hundred times stronger than spirit beasts.The biggest difference between a demon and a spirit beast is that a demon has evolved a wisdom that is close to that of a human or superhuman, can speak human languages, and possesses great potential.So once the monsters do evil, the consequences are usually serious.

His blood-colored long sword flashed out at some point, and the moment Xue Qinglan lifted her foot, his sword also pierced towards the bundle of straw that came out.

That bundle of straw seemed to have spiritual wisdom, seeing the aura permeating the bloody long sword, it immediately dispersed and broke into pieces, so as to avoid Feng Yutian's attack.The scattered straws also seemed to have eyes, circling the wind to guard against the sky, while the rest retracted into the ground.

"Where is the evildoer, sneaky?" Feng Yutian missed the sword, immediately retracted the sword, and asked in a cold voice.

Xue Qinglan threw herself on Ziyingzhu, Ziyingzhu looks like crystal, but actually has the toughness of bamboo, so it didn't hurt her.It's just that she didn't dare to let her feet touch the ground this time, who knows if the straw will come out again.

"You, detestable immortal cultivator!"

That weird voice appeared again, as if it came from all directions, just a few words, sometimes rough and sometimes feminine, indistinguishable between male and female, making it even more frightening.

Suddenly, some bamboo leaves spread out on the ground not far away, as if a hole had been dug, and a scarecrow the size of a human appeared!
The scarecrow was extremely rough in workmanship, but it was tied at will. There were a lot of straw forks in a mess, and there was something like a bird's nest on its head. Only those dark green eyes were extremely terrifying.

Xue Qinglan saw the Lord appeared, she seized the opportunity to hide behind Feng Yutian, and said in a low voice, "Is that... the scarecrow?"

Feng Yutian's expression darkened again, and he said: "It's a monster. How can you cultivate into a monster with a straw body? What a powerful monster..."

He finally understood that the dense aura of heaven and earth around here was gathered because of this monster.No wonder it regards Ziyingzhu as its private property. It is because of its arrival that Ziyingzhu can thrive. If not, there is no sign of Fengshui here, so why does it gather so much spiritual energy all year round?

Also, it is estimated that the dense miasma here is also related to this straw demon.

Judging from the hateful tone of the Scarecrow Demon, maybe it has suffered from other immortal cultivators, which is why it is so resentful.Immortals and demons are opposed to each other, and it seems that this battle is inevitable.

The straw demon's dark green eyes radiated a faint light, staring at Feng Yutian and Xue Qinglan, as if he wanted to tear them into pieces before he was reconciled.It has no mouth, and the sound comes from nowhere, it sounds quite harsh:
"Immortal Cultivator! Immortal Cultivator! Why don't you let me go!"

Feng Yutian frowned, feeling that the other party seemed to have misunderstood, and said, "I'm here to fetch bamboo."

"Take bamboo? Bamboo is my birth! How dare you! It's just an ant!"

After all, the straw demon is not a human being, and his words are not very clear, and the meaning of the words is not clear. Xue Qinglan can't understand it, but from his tone, he can still be careless.Simply put, this raging scarecrow is angry...

The straw demon has only one "leg", which is inserted in the bamboo field, and its two arms are straight, turning around in place.I saw that the surrounding black-gray mist also formed a black whirlwind with the rotation of the straw demon, and the surrounding bamboos, including Ziying bamboo, began to sway along with it.

Feng Yutian immediately became vigilant, in his perception, all directions were filled with the evil aura of the straw demon, as if surrounded by enemies!The Straw Demon has been stationed here for many years, and has long since assimilated the surrounding environment with it. This is its home field. To fight it here, unless it has strength far superior to it.

He felt the pressure, and a retreat started in his heart.Anyway, Ziyingzhu has already been obtained, so there is no need to continue fighting with this straw demon, not to mention, there is a oil bottle beside him...

Xue Qinglan seemed to be able to sense what Feng Yutian was thinking, and whispered: "The scarecrow won't let us escape so easily, be careful."

It's not that she has the ability to read minds, but at this moment, her mind is full of how to escape, so she speaks out unconsciously, and it can only be said that the two of them want to go together.

He nodded, since he was the one who brought Xue Qinglan to this place, then he is obliged to take her away safely.It's just that if you want to leave at this time, you must kill a way.

Xue Qinglan tried all the solutions in her head, but none of them could face the situation at this time, because the levels were too far apart.Ordinary beasts may still be able to fight each other with physical skills, but at the level of spirit beasts, ordinary people cannot deal with them, and the straw demon in front of them is obviously several times more terrifying than spirit beasts.

The black whirlwind caused by the straw demon had brewed enough, sweeping bamboo leaves and detouring towards the two of them.Feng Yutian stood with his sword in his hand, turning a blind eye to the overwhelming attacks in front of him. Blood-red aura emanated from his body, and gradually condensed into the phantom of a giant sword behind him.

Xue Qinglan looked up at the giant sword Phantom, and felt a sharp aura rushing towards her face. Is this sword aura?

With a sound of swish, the phantom of the red giant sword immediately split into countless red long swords. The group of swords were scattered and floating beside him like a guard.

Xue Qinglan stood at the side, but she couldn't clearly distinguish the sword energy from the monster energy on the opposite side. She only felt that the two powerful energy were competing with each other. It seems that if you are not careful, you will be blown away.

She lowered her center of gravity, raised her right arm to cover her eyes and face, and observed this unprecedented battle from between her fingers.It's a pity that the opposite side is full of black air, and the side is full of blood, which greatly hinders the line of sight, and it is impossible to see clearly.

She could only see the phantoms of blood-colored swords converging into a blood-colored dragon, breaking through the black whirlwind like a bamboo.There is not only fog in the whirlwind, but also a lot of bamboo, pieces of black and purple bamboo are scattered in all directions, but there is no trace of the scarecrow.

It is undoubtedly extremely difficult for her to tell who has the upper hand, because she can't even see the scene clearly, let alone judge.Taking a step back, so what if she could see who had the upper hand?She couldn't help Feng Yutian, nor could she cause any trouble to the Scarecrow.

She felt powerless, and this was not the first time that this feeling of powerlessness had appeared. She would feel this way many times when facing enemies who were not at the same level, and that was the source of her motivation for wanting to be strong.

She remembered why she wanted to be strong, because she wanted to control her own destiny, to be able to live well no matter what the circumstances were, she wanted to have her own world with her own hands, and Not relying on anyone.Also, she wants to make those who abandon her, despise her, and spurn her all regret it!

She wants to prove that even if she has nothing, no status, no wealth, and no parents, she will live a better and more wonderful life than anyone else in the world!
Born to be humble, she has crawled and rolled at the bottom. What kind of danger has she never experienced?What is she afraid of?What else is there to be afraid of?She just simply hates her own powerlessness now.

Although Xue Qinglan didn't know how the battle was going, Feng Yutian knew it very well, and at the same time felt the pressure on her shoulders was getting heavier and heavier.He didn't expect that he would encounter strong enemies one after another for such a simple task as going out to fetch Ziyingzhu?why?Monsters like the Straw Demon can't be seen everywhere, how could there be such bad luck this time?

He had no time to think about it, he aimed for a gap, and took Xue Qinglan's arm and galloped away into the jungle.

He thought very clearly that if Yujian vacated at this time, he could only be a target for the straw demon.The aura around here is already filled with the evil spirit of the straw demon, and it is determined that it will not be able to fly very far.

Xue Qinglan was dragged by him to run wildly, and couldn't help but look back, but she didn't see the scarecrow, only the thick black mist covered her sight.The uneasiness in her heart was rising day by day, and she didn't know if the two of them could escape smoothly.

"Wait, delusional!"

The ugly voice of the scarecrow sounded again, lingering like a haze.

Feng Yutian's brows were always furrowed, and his spirit was highly concentrated.The straw demon is not unimaginably powerful, but it is too difficult to deal with, as if stuck in a quagmire, no matter how hard it is, it can't get rid of its air lock.Do you still want to use fierceness?It's just a monster, is it worth his fierceness?

No, if it is used, it will be even more impossible to protect Miss Qing comprehensively.

As soon as he thought of this, his heart moved, and suddenly he heard a harsh sound of piercing the air, and at the same time, there was Xue Qinglan's exclamation.
