Chapter 339
Before, when Yu Xi entered the pearl gravel layer of Yaoling Valley, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
It seems like there is some danger lurking in a place that is not easy to be discovered.
She couldn't help but ask Zhong Xian and the others if they had noticed anything wrong.
Jizhi shook his head vigorously.
Zhong Xian and Su Xianyun looked around.
"I do feel a bit uncomfortable," Zhong Xian pondered. "But apart from the hundred or so monks here, I don't see anything dangerous."
Of course, just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
Su Xianyun nodded slightly.
The gravel layer was not as desolate as the one among mountains and rivers, but it made them feel even more uncomfortable than among mountains and rivers.
Gu An, who was walking at the end, was talking to the bird on his shoulder. After hearing Yu Xi's question, he raised his hand slightly, waved the bird away from his fingertips, and walked closer to Yu Xi and said:
"Senior Sister, I just asked the birds. There are no monks living in the Pearl Gravel Layer. In the past, only tree people would work here. The monks cut down many trees, and the birds had no place to live. Most of them were driven away."
After hearing this, Yu Xi quickly realized the difference between the gravel layer and the mountains and rivers.
The mountains and rivers are desolate and dilapidated because the soil is poisoned and no plants can grow.
However, the soil in the gravel layer that can grow spiritual herbs is concentrated in the center of the mountain near the water flow, and other places are mostly rugged mountains.
These places are suitable for growing plants other than spiritual herbs, but at a glance there is not a single plant to be seen.
The soil is not contaminated by poison.
Something must be wrong when things are abnormal, so Zhong Xian simply asked everyone to stop and rest temporarily, and at the same time check if there was any problem in the gravel layer.
During this inspection, Yu Xi soon discovered that there was a formation that he had never seen before inside the pearl gravel layer.
The center of the formation is arranged very secretly. It is impossible to find it without looking for it deliberately. Judging from the residual spiritual power, it is most likely a killing formation.
If someone wants to steal the spiritual herbs from the Pearl Gravel Layer, this formation should be activated immediately.
There aren't many places in the pearl gravel layer where spiritual herbs can be grown. Although you can hardly see the end at a glance, it is still much smaller than in the Warm Nourishing Valley.
What's more, the spiritual herbs in the pearl gravel layer are not rare.
If there is such a secret killing formation hidden in the layer of beads, then there must be a more dangerous and more difficult to deal with formation hidden in the Warm Valley. It may be the cultivators' trump card, so we cannot ignore it.
Yu Xi lowered his eyes in thought. After he expressed this guess, Shu Nanzhi quickly said that he had heard his grandfather talk about the formation in Wenyang Valley.
"Grandpa said that when our people last resisted the riot, the monks activated that formation. After about a moment, all the people in the tribe were unable to move and were seriously injured. Many people died that day."
"That sounds dangerous," Zhong Xian pondered. "But if the formation takes time to activate, there's a loophole."
Yu Xi nodded: "And if it is a formation, there must be a possibility of breaking it."
Hearing Yu Xi say this, Shu Nanzhi hurriedly said, "Master Demon God, there's no need to bother breaking the formation. My grandfather is very powerful, but his demonic power is sealed. As long as you can find him before the formation is activated and grant him some demonic power, he will be able to send us all out of Wenyang Valley."
What Shu Nanzhi said is a solution.
Yu Xi thought it could be adopted, and then discussed another escape plan with Zhong Xian and others to avoid being trapped in Wenyang Valley in case of an accident.
But now that he was teleported away by Shu Tianzhu, Yu Xi realized that there was no chance that the backup plan would be used at all.
Shu Tianzhu's power is even stronger than she imagined!
However, in just a short moment, Shu Tianzhu not only prevented the spiritual energy from entering Qingzheng's formation, but also led them accurately into the holy land outside Yaoling Valley!
After the teleportation, Yu Xi did not feel any discomfort. The vines under her body dissipated. She tried to stand up, but her limbs were weak and she fell limply on her back on the furry tail.
Only then did she realize that her demonic power had been almost drained away by the tree Tianzhu.
Fortunately, the tail is soft enough and it is quite comfortable to lie on.
Turning my head to look in Gu An's direction, I saw that Gu An was lying face down on the ground, half dead, with no intention of getting up for a long time.
It seems that Gu An's demonic power has been completely sucked away.
Gu An has always loved cleanliness. Even when walking on a muddy road, he can be very careful to ensure that not a single speck of mud gets on his boots. Now that he can lie face down on the ground, he must have no strength left.
As if he noticed Yu Xi was looking at him, Gu An tried to raise his head, but failed, so he gave up.
However, under his somewhat messy black hair, his ears were red, and the wings folded behind his back were opened rather stiffly, with the black feathers between the wings just enough to cover his head, as if this could hide him.
Yu Xi chuckled without giving any face.
This should be the first time that Gu An has been so embarrassed since he came to live in the demon world.
Gu An seemed to tremble.
Soon, Zhong Xian and the others landed and found Yu Xi lying on the ground. When they were about to rush over with their faces changed drastically, Shu Nanzhi, who was closest to Yu Xi, rushed to Yu Xi's side first, crying and wailing, tears and snot flying everywhere:
"Master Demon God! Master Demon God, what's wrong with you? Please don't be in trouble!"
Yu Xi: “…”
She silently looked at Shu Nanzhi who was crying loudly, and after a second of silence, she said:
"Didn't you say that your grandfather sent us out just to absorb a little demonic power?"
"what?"
Shu Nanzhi stared at Yu Xi blankly. Seeing Yu Xi's weak look, he seemed to finally react and turned to look at Shu Tianzhu.
The age of the tree is unknown, but he looks like an old man in his sixties or seventies, with a hunched back and many wrinkles on his face, but his eyes are not cloudy and are bright and clear.
Seeing that Shu Nanzhi and Yu Xi were both looking at him, Shu Tianzhu touched his beard, which was several meters long and had dragged two circles on the ground, and coughed lightly and said:
"This is the first time my granddaughter has come to save me. Of course, a little ritual is necessary..."
So when he teleported away, he did not forget to use a fancy trick. Every vine bloomed, and a large number of tree species bloomed in the sky, leaving the big word "waste" in the sky, which severely annoyed the immortal monk.
Just a little bit, I used a little bit more magic power.
Shu Nanzhi cried even louder: "Grandpa, you sucked the demon god dry!"
Shu Tianzhu glanced at Yu Xi and muttered, "How can it be sucked dry? It's plump..."
Yu Xi was speechless.
The other demon clan leaders are all very reliable, why does this tree demon clan leader seem unreliable?
Moreover, when Shu Nanzhi called her "Lord Demon God", Shu Tianzhu did not react at all, which was different from the situation Shu Nanzhi had described before.
Maybe it was because Shu Tianzhu saw that she was not some demon god?
Yu Xi was thinking when Zhong Xian and the others came over.
