Taishang Hualong Jue

Chapter 74
Until noon, the scorching sunlight from the sun in the sky makes people's skin burn and hurt, which can make people feel a sense of stuffiness and irritability.

Mo Lingshang, who was sleeping soundly, just woke up, her long eyelashes fluttered slightly, revealing those bright eyes like autumn water, when she opened her eyes, she saw that familiar face, and after she blushed slightly, she smiled, It brightens the world and makes all the flowers pale.

Qin Luo stared at her smiling face, and was stunned for a moment. The latter blushed slightly, and gave a coquettish sound, but his heart was sweet.

"Are you hungry?" Kissing her gently on the cheek, Qin Luo asked with a smile, his expression gentle.

I wanted to say I wasn't hungry, but my stomach let out a dishonest cry, blushing in embarrassment, nodded my head, looked at him with big eyes, hesitated for a moment, and said softly, "Don't burn, it's bitter."

The smile on Qin Luo's face froze, he touched his nose in embarrassment, and said unconfidently, "Try your best."

Helping Mo Lingshang to get up, he patted the dust on his buttocks. The latter gently straightened the folds of his robe with a gentle smile on his face.

"Waiting for me here?" Qin Luo stood on the cliff, the mountain wind swayed his thin clothes, blowing his thick black hair, looking at the misty forest with deep and bright eyes like a galaxy , listening to the low roars coming from the mountain forest, asked softly.

"Together."

Mo Lingshang spoke softly without any hesitation. Shui Ling's eyes looked at Qin Luo's upright figure, full of reluctance and nostalgia. She didn't know how long it would take for Qin Luo to come back after leaving, so she cherished the relationship with Qin Luo. Every day he was together, I didn't want him to disappear from sight.

Qin Luo looked back at her back to normal, sighed softly, walked to her side, put his arms around her soft waist, and the majestic spiritual energy surged out through his body, turning into a layer of spiritual energy in front of him With the protective shield, the toes lightly tap the ground, the light of the aura flows, and the figure rushes down the mountain like the wind.

In this mountain forest, the most indispensable thing is all kinds of ferocious beasts. Monster beasts can be seen occasionally, but only warriors can deal with monsters. Like ordinary hunters, they may still try to hunt when they encounter ligers and tigers. But when encountering monsters, even if they are only the first-order monsters, they don't dare to hunt and kill them, and run as far as they can.

This mountain forest belongs to the outer area of ​​this monster mountain range. Most of the beasts are rampant, but there are not many monsters. They disdain to come to this outer area, and they are driven to the depths of the mountain range by powerful warriors. They dare not step into it easily. , otherwise it will attract the hunting of powerful human warriors.

Of course, monsters are not kind, they are ferocious and violent, and cannot be at the mercy of humans. Every once in a while, the powerful monsters in the depths of the mountains will drive out thousands of monsters and fierce beasts, forming a terrifying wave of beasts, impacting the human gathering area, and constantly The humans who hunted them took a brutal vengeance.

Qingshui City is adjacent to this mountain of monster beasts, so it is naturally affected and devastated by the beast tide. However, the warriors in Qingshui City are not weak, and when the beast tide breaks out, all parties come to help. Not much damage.

Although many people died tragically, the monsters and ferocious beasts also left corpses all over the ground. Speaking of which, neither side took much advantage.

However, Qin Luo heard that in 20 years, a large-scale terrifying beast horde occurred. A fifth-order monster beast king who was equivalent to the state of concentration descended, almost broke through the thick city wall, and caused the most casualties in a century.

In the end, the city lord at that time and the then patriarch of the Qin family, that is, his grandfather, joined forces to block it to the death, and then barely kept it out of the city. Later, two concentrating realms in Tianfeng County came in person, and they teamed up to kill the beast king. beheaded.

Qin Luo is not worried about encountering a beast tide, because there was only one outbreak four years ago. According to the past rules, the interval between each outbreak of the beast tide is eight to ten years, and the monsters deep in the mountains do not go out. If so, he is still taking advantage of this gap to recuperate and recover his strength.

The meat of ordinary beasts is very poor, but it is not as tender and juicy as the meat of monsters cultivated by swallowing the sun essence and moonlight. After finally bringing Mo Lingshang to lie down, it is natural to eat good food. With his current strength, as long as he does not go deep into the deepest part of the mountain range , then have the confidence to get out of the whole body.

The two of them darted through the mountains and forests like a rushing gust of wind, blowing up fallen leaves, and occasionally stepped on the ground and landed on the top of a tree. Spiritual energy surged under their feet, lifting their bodies, their bodies were as light as butterflies, and like spirit apes Vigorous, walking on the top of the tree.

"Qin Luo, go [-] meters to the left." A voice suddenly sounded in his mind, causing Qin Luo, who was rushing forward, to stop abruptly. Mo Lingshang was startled, looked around, and asked curiously, "What's the matter?" ?”

"It's okay." Qin Luo shook his head and raised his brows lightly. The voice that sounded in his head just now was actually the ancient holy dragon speaking. Isn't it sleeping to delay the time for consciousness to dissipate?How did you wake up.

He only hesitated for a moment, but turned around and galloped to the left, within a few breaths, he was a hundred meters away. His eyes scanned all directions, his nose fluttered slightly, smelling the smell in the air, a smell of decay, his brows could not help but frown , this ancient holy dragon finally said a word, maybe it was just to let him smell the unpleasant smell of decay.

Mo Lingshang also frowned lightly.

"Did you see the ancient tree on your right? Yes, it's the one whose trunk is about to rot. In the past, there were treasures at the root of the tree." The voice of the ancient holy dragon sounded again.

Qin Luo frowned slightly, and walked over suspiciously. Mo Lingshang followed closely behind him. The ancient tree mentioned by Shenglong really deserves the word "ancient". The trunk is vigorous, and the bark on it is like dragon scales.

The ancient trees are as high as [-] meters, with luxuriant branches and leaves, stretching out to form a huge canopy, covering the sky in this area, making it difficult for even sunlight to penetrate in. The green branches hang down, exuding a breath of life.

However, compared with the rich breath of life of the branches and leaves, the roots of the extremely thick trunk have already decayed, and a damp smell permeated the air.

"This tree must be at least seven or eight hundred years old." Qin Luo was amazed. This tree is just a very common tree species that grows fast. Few of them can live for three to five hundred years. I haven't even heard of an 800-year-old tree. Said.

"A thousand-year-old tree."

The faint words of the ancient holy dragon made Qin Luo take a breath, and his eyes became hot. The thousand-year-old tree, even ordinary tree species, has mutated. It can be said that this kind of tree has become refined, and its heart contains majestic power. life force.

His mood was instantly agitated, and he stepped forward quickly, the aura was wrapped around his fingers, exuding a sharp breath, he stroked the thick but rotten root carefully, and pushed the rotten part away, the rotten smell made him feel ashamed. Both of them frowned.

"Didn't it form a tree heart?" Qin Luo frowned and said softly. If a tree heart formed, as long as the rotten part was removed, the life breath of the tree heart could be felt far away. How come the rotten smell became stronger and stronger.

"The ground is more scarce than the heart of a tree. It is rare for a thousand thousand-year-old trees to give birth to one. Moreover, it must be dug out before the old tree dies, otherwise it will rot and melt with the old tree. Now the roots are rotting. It's just in time."

The ancient holy dragon said lightly, with a calm voice, "The power of the earth and the life power of the ancient tree were conceived together, and life and death are intertwined. For those who are about to die, they are highly poisonous and holy medicine. If they resist, they will be reborn. .”

"hiss"

Qin Luo took a breath, earth tire?He hadn't heard of it, but if it was true as Shenglong said, it would be really cherished by ordinary people. If the news spread, I don't know how many old monsters would flock to it.

He continued to dig, and the smell of decay became stronger.The smell was pungent and unpleasant, Mo Lingshang couldn't bear it and retreated far away, Qin Luo gritted his teeth because of the attraction of the tire and continued.

"oops"

Mo Lingshang's exclamation suddenly came from behind, which made Qin Luo's face change, and he almost jumped up in a hurry, stopped what he was doing, and hurriedly turned around, but he didn't see any beasts, so he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Mo Lingshang looked surprised, her red lips parted slightly, and she stretched out her jade-like finger, pointing at the ancient tree that Qin Luo was digging, and said in a voice full of disbelief, "The tree is drying up."

"Oh?"

Qin Luo raised his head with a look of surprise on his face. He saw that the bark of the old tree that was lush with branches and leaves and full of vitality was becoming more and more dry and cracked, and the verdant branches and leaves were turning yellow at a speed visible to the naked eye. Pieces of yellow leaves flutter down like butterflies with the wind.

"Lingshang, step back a little bit." Qin Luo turned around and warned, looked at the ancient tree, and pondered for a moment. If he guessed correctly, it should be the "earth tire" absorbing the life force of the ancient tree to speed up its formation.

Mo Lingshang stepped back as he said, pulling the hem of his clothes with his hands, his face full of nervousness.

Qin Luo speeded up, and at the same time, he felt an astonishing wave of life from the rotten tree trunk, but it was accompanied by a smell of decay, as Shenglong said, life and death are intertwined.

Qin Luo was afraid that the old tree would break, so he only dug a hole toward the center of the tree. He speeded up the removal of the rotten wood, and the old tree was also drying up at an alarming rate. It is also affected, and the green branches and leaves are losing their luster, but the speed is very slow, and it is difficult to detect without looking carefully.

Qin Luo, who was digging, suddenly felt an obstacle, as if he had touched some hard object, and at the same time, a strange breath wanted to invade his body along his fingertips, which made him slightly startled, and the spiritual energy in his body roared out like an angry dragon. Layers of protection were formed, and at the same time, five fingers spread out, holding the hard object and grabbing it violently.

The leaves are rushing down, the ancient tree full of vitality decays in an instant, and there is no leaf on the stretched branches. If it is in autumn and winter, this situation may happen, but now, it is the spring when everything is recovering.

The leaves of the surrounding ancient trees were also yellow, and those who didn't know thought that autumn had come. Of course, even if autumn came here, it was impossible for all the leaves to turn yellow or fall off.

After Qin Luo grabbed the "earth tire", he retreated in an instant as soon as he moved. Who knows if this ancient tree will collapse in an instant, he is not afraid, but Mo Lingshang is by the side.

He grabbed Mo Lingshang's hand, and his aura surged, enveloping the figures of the two of them. He swept hundreds of meters before stopping, and the sound of falling trees came from behind him.

Qin Luo lowered his head slightly, and Mo Lingshang also leaned over, looking at the black mass of "monster" in his hand, like a lump of mud, but as hard as iron, exuding an amazing breath of life and a strong sense of decay and death.

"Keep it for now, and use it when you break through the nurturing realm." The voice of the ancient holy dragon sounded in Qin Luo's mind, and blood-gold rays of light emanated from Qin Luo's body, entangled on the ground, forming a strange pattern Restriction, the air of life and death is sealed, and no trace is emitted.
