Big dreamer

After hearing what the man in black robe said, Mu Xiao had a look of hesitation on his face, looking very troubled.

But after a moment, his brows slowly relaxed, and he had made a decision in his heart.

"Can you really help me fuse the demon bloodline?" Mu Xiao raised his head and asked in a solemn tone.

"Of course, if I can do it, I can naturally help you do it," the man in black robe said confidently.

While speaking, he deliberately condensed a ball of solid demonic energy in his palm and showed it to Mu Xiao. The demonic energy in it was so strong that it was almost substantial.

"Well, even if you can survive this disaster today, you will still be trapped here and imprisoned forever in the future. Instead of doing this, it is better to give it a try..." Mu Xiao sighed softly, as if he had made some kind of decision.

"Okay, with the help of fellow Taoist Mu Xiao, things will become more and more promising." The man in black robe patted Mu Xiao on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Don't be too happy too soon. If I find out that you lied to me, I will fight to my death and drag you to be buried with me." Mu Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and said with full warning.

"Haha, good birds choose trees to roost. Don't worry, fellow Taoist Wood Owl, I'm so happy that I can get your help. How can I harm you? I will definitely reward you generously." The chest of the man in black robe was shaking. Tianxiang said with a smile.

"I hope you can keep your word." Mu Xiao said calmly.

"Okay, now that we have formed an alliance and we don't need to be killed, please tell me what is the current situation in the spiritual cave?" the man in black robe asked in a low voice.

"Spirit Cave? The Spirit Cave is now occupied by a giant Yanjia like a city. All transformed monsters who dare to approach will be attacked by Yanjia. Those who are slow or blindly confident will basically be attacked by the Yanjia. They were all caught, and only a lucky few were able to escape alive," Mu Xiao said.

"What about... Zizhu?" The man in black robe's eyes flickered and asked again.

"Hmph, his luck is not that good. The body has now fallen into the hands of the giant armor, and only the soul escaped by chance." Mu Xiao sneered and said.

Hearing this, the man in black robe became silent and didn't say anything more. He just let Mu Xiao lead the way and left with him.

…

Meanwhile, another area.

In the ruins of a broken wall, a yellow halo lit up on the ground, and two figures, one dragging the other, broke through the ground and emerged from the ground.

They are none other than Shen Luo and Yan Wushi who escaped from the earth and came here.

"Brother Shen, I was almost killed by you just now." Yan Wushi let out a sigh and sighed.

"Brother Yan, you're serious. Didn't we come out safe and sound?" Shen Luo said with a smile.

After saying that, he turned over and took out the black jade plate, and touched it gently with his palm. A white light spot immediately appeared on the jade plate, which represented the young master.

Immediately afterwards, another slightly smaller and darker light spot also lit up.

Yan Wushi was still a little dissatisfied at first, but when he saw a light spot suddenly appeared on the black jade plate, he immediately became interested and came over.

"What is this? How come there is one more?" he couldn't help but ask.

"This mark was left on the black and yellow short ruler when it was taken away. Now as long as the man in black robe keeps carrying the short ruler with him, we can keep track of his position and movements at any time." Shen Luo replied.

"So, you let him take away the black and yellow short ruler on purpose?" Yan Wushi said unexpectedly.

Shen Luo was stunned for a moment, touched his nose, and showed a thoughtful look on his face, neither admitting nor denying.

But in fact, of course he didn't think so, he just acted like this out of helplessness after being taken away.

"He moved..."

Jing Yan Wushi shouted, and Shen Luo suddenly came back to his senses, only to see that the light spots on the black jade plate were moving rapidly, and the direction they were moving was basically the same as where they were going.

"Let's go, we have to continue on our way." Shen Luo said.

…

The two of them had not walked long before a black bamboo forest appeared in front of them. It was surrounded by spiritual energy and a light mist. It was obvious at first glance that it was unusual.

After Shen Luo looked carefully, he found that the bamboos growing in this black bamboo forest were all no more than the thickness of an arm and very straight. But strangely, they all only had trunks and no branches and leaves.

"This... seems to be Youquan Bamboo." Yan Wushi suddenly said.

"Youquanzhu?" Shen Luo looked surprised. He had never heard of it.

"It is a kind of spiritual bamboo with yin attributes and excellent toughness. It is an indispensable spiritual material for refining many magic weapons and armors. However, it is not uncommon. There are many places where the yin energy is strong, but the evil spirit does not arise. There is growth." Yan Wushi explained.

Shen Luo listened, but his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had discovered something.

He trotted towards the bamboo forest, passed through the clumps of black bamboo, came to the middle of the bamboo forest, and stopped.

In front of him, a black bamboo about ten feet tall and as thick as a thumb stood on the ground.

This bamboo is completely different from the thicker bamboos around it. Although it is both black, it is purple inside, with a jade-like luster, and there are faint golden lines inside.

The most important thing is that the spiritual power fluctuations emitted from this black bamboo are more than ten times stronger than other black bamboos around it.

Yan Wushi also rushed over, and when he saw the slender black bamboo, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"The body is like purple jade, with floating golden lines. This is the best of the Youquan Bamboo. It is the real Youquan Lingzhu. Brother Shen, I didn't expect that we are so lucky to encounter this thing. Yan Wushi shouted happily.

Of course Shen Luo knew it was a good thing, and without saying a word, he knelt down and started digging up the soil.

"No, no..." Yan Wushi saw this and shouted quickly.

Shen Luo stopped, raised his head and asked, "Why not?"

"Brother Shen, you don't know something. If there is a purple jade-like spiritual bamboo growing in this bamboo forest in the quiet spring, it is usually where the spiritual energy of the entire bamboo forest gathers. It is nourished by the earth, and it also feeds spiritual energy to nourish other quiet springs. Once the Quan Bamboo is dug away, the quality of the other black bamboos will be greatly reduced as their aura will be lost." Yan Wushi said with a look of regret.

"Then what should I do? I can't let go of the spiritual bamboo I got, right?" Shen Luo frowned.

"Of course not, Brother Shen. As long as you dig out the other spiritual bamboos before digging up this purple jade spiritual bamboo, you can ensure that the other spiritual bamboos are not lost. Then wait for a while and then dig out the best one. , all the scattered spiritual energy can be concentrated in this purple jade spiritual bamboo, this is the best way to get the best of both worlds," Yan Wushi explained quickly.

"I see, I've learned a lesson." Shen Luo smiled and nodded.

"Help dig bamboo together." Then, he immediately patted the Qiankun bag on his waist and summoned the ghost general Zhao Feiji.

After that, one person and one ghost started attacking the entire bamboo forest.
