Chapter 867 Patrolling and the Wood Clan
The ancient trees in the Fuguang Forest are towering, the trees are extremely thick, and the trees are full of aura. In order to prevent spies from the Mu clan hiding in them, Luo Hong and others are not allowed to fly on the treetops from the first patrol point.
Fortunately, each of these ancient trees occupies an area of several tens of feet, and the people were not affected too much when they fled in the forest.
Luo Hong was in the middle of the team at this time, holding the spirit disk issued by the Hall of Abnormal Spirits, carefully sensing whether there was any aura of alien races around.
At the same time, all his spiritual consciousness was released, paying attention to the wind and grass within a radius of ten thousand miles.
After more than ten days, he already felt a little tired, but he didn't dare to relax for a moment.
And Tang Xin and the others who flew around him, the farthest being no more than a hundred feet away, were also holding spirit disks, but it was obvious from their appearance that they were not as meticulous as Luo Hong in sensing the breath.
On the contrary, his eyes swept around, constantly searching for something.
Suddenly, a big blue-eyed man in the crowd had a flash of light in his eyes, rushed out of the queue with a quick lift, and headed straight for a pool of water on the left.
The rest of the people were shocked when they noticed the movement, but soon showed envious expressions.
It turned out that right by the pool, there was a white ginseng fruit the size of a fist sleeping soundly.
It was also the first time for Luo Hong to see a real ginseng fruit, so she couldn't help taking a second look, only to see that this little thing was fat and white, not like ginseng, but like a pear with arms and legs.
The spiritual consciousness swept over but it was empty. Obviously, this little guy has completely adapted to the aura environment of the Floating Light Forest and perfectly integrated into it, so he can only detect it with the naked eye.
It's no wonder, if you don't have some skills, with their medicinal power, I'm afraid no matter how much they are, they won't be able to resist the arrest of the monks of Tianyuan City.
However, just when Luo Hong was about to take back his consciousness, he discovered that there seemed to be some movement in the pool.
Immediately, he frowned, and concentrated his consciousness to investigate carefully.
The next moment, his complexion changed and he said:
"Stay away from the pool!"
Hearing this, the big blue-eyed man subconsciously looked towards the water pool, and saw many blisters appeared on the surface of the pool at some time, as if some strange beast was about to escape from it.
Seeing this scene, the big blue-eyed man suddenly lost his soul, and quickly turned around to escape the light, and threw a bronze rusty clock behind him without saying a word.
At the same time that the bronze rusty bell grew in the wind, the sound of "bang bang" breaking the water also came from the pool, and more than a thousand beetles with black and shiny carapaces, half finger long, suddenly escaped from the pool.
I saw these black beetles gathering slightly in the air, and the spirit patterns on their backs lit up one after another, and then they all shot out, like more than a thousand black sharp arrows, shooting at the big blue-eyed man.
"No, it's a flying lice!"
After seeing the attacking spirit insect clearly, Daoist Wang immediately exclaimed, showing fear on his face.
And the blue-eyed man who was being chased also recognized this kind of spirit insect, his face suddenly turned pale, and he hurriedly threw all kinds of magic weapons and talismans behind him.
The flying louse's escape speed was extremely fast, and it hit the bronze rusty clock in an instant, and only heard a "clang, clang, clang".
Afterwards, the flying lice collided with the magic talisman thrown by the big blue-eyed man, and all kinds of wind, fire, thunder and lightning spells of the five elements mixed together to build a wall, and the momentum was very frightening.
However, these black beetles did not dodge or dodge at the moment, and rushed in after gathering in the middle.
When rushing out from the other end in an instant, it was just that dozens of them were missing on the periphery, which had no effect on the insect swarm.
At this moment, the swarm of insects had approached tens of feet away from the big blue-eyed man. Although there were two shields blocking them, the big blue-eyed man knew very well that this would not allow him to live longer, and strong despair rushed into his heart immediately.
After a moment of desperation, the blue-eyed man suddenly showed a ruthless expression, turned around to face the swarm and cast a spell, obviously wanting to bite off a piece of the swarm's flesh before dying.
However, at this moment, a strange scene suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
I saw that those flying lice suddenly seemed to have been immobilized, and they all stopped in the air, and then a wave of heat swept from behind.
A row of blue and white fire waves rushed over the immobilized air lice, and there was a burst of "crackling" explosions, and more than a thousand air lice were burned to fly ash in an instant!
It turned out that at the same time as the loud reminder, Luo Hong had already fled away, so that he could first use the power of heaven and earth to stop the flying lice in the blink of an eye, and then wipe them all out with the heavenly wolf's divine fire.
The escape speed of this kind of spirit insect even surprised him. If the method of thunder is not used, once the swarm of insects disperses, it will be very troublesome.
Seeing that the air lice that had chased him so that he had nowhere to go to the sky were easily killed, the big blue-eyed man couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and after he realized it, he immediately turned around and saluted Luo Hong respectfully:
"Thank you Senior Luo for saving your life, this junior will never forget it!"
"Well, you seem to recognize this kind of spirit insect, but you didn't have any precautions just now. Could it be that this insect has not appeared in the Floating Light Forest before?"
Luo Hong nodded lightly, but she was not dissatisfied with the trouble caused by the big blue-eyed man. After all, the water pool was not far from their patrol route.
In addition, he promised everyone to catch Shen Guo along the way, but the big blue-eyed man did not do anything out of line.
"Returning to the predecessors, this flying lice is a kind of vicious insect that is common in the wilderness. It likes to beat its prey to be riddled with holes, and then lay eggs in the corpse of the prey.
They also fled to Fuli Swamp and other areas before, but there is no such thing as Fuguang Forest here, but even if it appears, it is not surprising. "
The big blue-eyed man thought he was unlucky, and then replied.
For a white ginseng fruit, he lost a magic weapon and several high-level talismans, which was a big loss for him.
"So that's the case, since they came from the wilderness, it's probably not just this group.
Be careful on the next journey, wait until the next patrol point, you can go to search for ginseng fruit together later. "
Luo Hong secretly scanned the surroundings several times with her spiritual sense, and found nothing unusual, so she made arrangements and said.
Everyone didn't have any objection after hearing the words. After all, with their cultivation base, once they were attacked by flying lice alone, they probably couldn't handle it.
In this way, they can only form teams in twos and threes to find fruit during the rest time after arriving at the patrol point.
After a small episode, everyone picked up their mood and started patrolling again, and the nameless pool immediately returned to calm.
However, this calm didn't last long. Only half an hour later, an ancient tree by the pool flashed a strange aura.
Not long after, five figures who were somewhat similar to humans, but with green skin and purple eyes came out of the tree trunk.
If there are monks from Abyss Sky City here, one can recognize at a glance that these are members of the Mu clan!
And from the purple belts around their waists, it can be seen that these five wood clans are all purple-rank existences, which are comparable to the realm of human races.
After walking out of the old tree, the only slender woman among the five came to the edge of the pool, stretched out her green palm and waved, and a milky white bead flew out from the ground.
Afterwards, the Mu woman spat out a beam of blue light towards the orb in her hand, said a few words of formulas in her mouth, and then threw it in front of the other four people.
I saw that the milky white bead stopped suddenly when it flew to the highest point, and then sprinkled a piece of white light, condensing several blurred figures.
Immediately, these figures started to move, which was exactly the same as that of the blue-eyed man and Luo Hong at the pool.
"Sure enough, it's the power of the universe, the guys from the Spirit Race are not lying!"
After seeing the image in the orb, a ten-foot-tall wooden man said in a deep voice.
"Although the superior ordered us to look for the treasure of the universe, but this person obviously has a problem with the spirit clan, but he must be careful not to be used by the spirit clan."
A man of the Wood clan wearing thorns on the side frowned and said.
The reason why they focused on Luo Hong was all because the Spirit Clan took the initiative to give them information. Although this move was very suspicious, it was related to the treasure of the universe, so they still set up a trap here to test it out.
However, whether to carry out further actions, the Thorn Wood Spirit thinks that it needs to be considered in the long term.
"Mu Cang, you are too careful. Those guys from the Spirit Race don't know that we are lurking in the Floating Light Forest. This is a good opportunity to obtain the treasure of the universe. Otherwise, when the other party returns to Tianyuan City, our strength will not be comparable to that of the Spirit Race." .”
A wooden spirit with yellow lines on his face and holding a spear slowly shook his head and said.
Due to their own racial characteristics, the Spirit Clan and the Shadow Clan can pretend to be the magic weapon of the adult and monster races, and the other can pretend to be the Nascent Soul. It is much easier to sneak into Tianyuan City than the other clans.
"I think I have to ask Lord Huarui whether I should act or not. After all, the spirit clan's motives are really weird, as if they have suffered from that human race."
While taking back the orb, the Mu woman also made a suggestion.
"Lord Huarui fought a battle with wild ancient beasts before, and his injuries have not healed, but it is not appropriate to disturb them.
And what Mu Zheng said is right, the opportunity is rare, this person's treasure of heaven and earth is exactly what this clan urgently needs, absolutely not to be missed!
As for whether the spirit clan is hiding in the dark and wants to reap the benefits of the fisherman, it only needs to be tested again. "
At this time, a man from the Mu tribe in a purple robe suddenly became the master, and then he turned his gaze to the woman from the Mu tribe and said:
"Hua Xun, how is the domestication of those Wuguang beasts going?"
"It can be used."
The Mu clan woman named Hua Xun nodded in response.
"Then go prepare. If we can successfully achieve this great achievement, we will be able to leave this ghostly place!"
The Zipaomu clan narrowed their eyes slightly and made the final decision.
In fact, the four of them were refreshed when they heard the words, and they fled into the nearby ancient trees in a flash.
On the other side, Luo Hong had no idea that he had been targeted by a group of purple-ranked wood tribes. Twenty-four days after arriving at the first patrol point, he finally led his team to the second patrol point.
This is a wooden house built on an old tree, surrounded by phantom formations, which can be used by the patrol team to rest.
In the center of the phantom formation stands a black spar engraved with runes.
This stone is connected to the surrounding earth veins, and it is basically impossible to move without making a huge movement.
The first thing Luo Hong did when he arrived here was to come to the black spar and cast a spell on it with the Qingming Token.
As a beam of light shot out from the black spar and hit the Qingming Token, he nodded in satisfaction and told everyone:
"Rest for five days, and we will start again in the morning of the sixth day."
There are still six patrol points like this on their route, which means that it will take at least half a year for a patrol to come down.
But in the Floating Light Forest, due to the existence of various ginseng fruits, most of the time each patrol team will take the initiative to slow down, so it usually takes half a year to complete a patrol mission.
The five-day rest period given by Luo Hong is actually quite small. After all, everyone's mana and mind have been depleted during this journey, so they really need to rest for a day or two.
In this way, they also spent three days searching for ginseng fruit.
However, Luo Hong had just revealed his supernatural powers a few days ago, and everyone dared not have any objections at the moment. Anyway, this place is not too deep into the Fuguang Forest, and the chance of finding Shenguo is not high.
After watching the ten subordinates each enter a wooden house, Luo Hong took a step forward alone, and pressed his right palm on the black crystal. As soon as he spewed out mana, there was a suction force.
Luo Hong didn't resist at the moment, and let the suction force take him away, and came to a dark place in a blink of an eye.
"Junior brother Luo, you came half a day late, but encountered trouble on the way?"
Xiang Zhili's voice suddenly came from the front, and on a formation not far away, there were phantoms of Xiang Zhili and Baiyunzhou respectively.
This is another function of the black spar, which allows the various patrol teams to communicate with each other.
If something happens, you can rely on the formation here to send people from different patrol points.
However, although this function is good, it is rarely used. First, when a patrol is attacked, it is usually on the way of patrolling. Second, few people are willing to step into other people's muddy water.
The higher ups didn't force the patrols to support each other beforehand. After all, if the aliens attacked in a premeditated manner, they must have made sufficient preparations. Most of the time, the support would only increase the casualties.
"I encountered a group of flying lice and almost lost a team member, so I rescued him in time.
Brother Xiang and Fellow Daoist Bai, what happened to you along the way? "
Luo Hong stood on the edge of the formation with his hands behind his back, knowing that he was also a phantom in the opponent's eyes at this moment.
"Brother Wei and Brother Bai had a smooth journey, and they didn't even see a trace of a foreigner. Brother Bai found a red ginseng fruit, but it was a pity that it ran away."
Xiang Zhili heard that it was not a big deal, so he didn't take it to heart, and talked about his own situation.
"Bai didn't expect the red ginseng fruit to escape so fast here!
Of course, if Bai hadn't gotten used to the aura environment here, he wouldn't have let him run away and lose face for nothing.
But from this point of view, the purple ginseng is definitely more difficult, and it is extremely difficult for us to catch it alone. "
Bai Yunzhou sneered slightly ashamed.
"Brother Bai means you want to cooperate and do the encirclement?"
Xiang Zhili said with bright eyes.
"That's right, Mr. Bai has seen the map, and the patrol routes of our three patrol teams are right next to each other.
If one of us finds the purple ginseng fruit and is not sure about catching it, it is better to drive it in the direction of the other two and gradually lock it in an area.
In this way, our chances of success will be greatly increased. "
If the red ginseng fruit is missed, it will be missed, anyway, it is useless to him, but if the purple ginseng fruit is lost in vain, Bai Yunzhou thinks he will be depressed for a while.
Therefore, he thought a lot along the way and made such a plan.
"The idea is good, but how to distribute it then?"
Xiang Zhili asked with a frown.
"Since all the efforts have been made, it should be divided equally, one by one. How about Luo Daoyou?"
Seeing that Luo Hong hadn't spoken for a long time, Bai Yunzhou couldn't help asking for his opinion.
"Luo is fine."
Although the purple ginseng fruit is extremely rare, there is no need for Luo Hong to pour cold water on it at this time, and immediately agreed.
Anyway, he has confidence in his own luck, this distribution method must be his advantage!
