Chapter 167 Yellow Spring Tree

Although the Golden Flower Poison Python was huge, its movements were extremely flexible. It moved through the densely wooded forest without any hindrance and at a very fast speed.

In just a few breaths, the Golden Flower Poison Python had already caught up with Bai Rong. A sac in its bloody mouth expanded, and a stream of purple poisonous gas gushed out from it, surging down.

Seeing that he could not dodge in time, Bai Rong immediately turned around, raised his hand and held a small bronze mirror, reflecting it towards the poisonous python.

A white light flashed on the mirror, and a round shield made of white light condensed, blocking him in front of him.

The surging purple gas fell on the light shield, making bursts of "puff" sounds, but it could not defeat it.

However, the dissipated poisonous gas leaked from both sides of the round shield and approached Bai Rong.

When Yuan Ming saw that she was about to be submerged by the poisonous gas, he was hesitating whether to step forward to rescue her, but suddenly he saw Bai Rong's figure retreating quickly, and a simple-shaped bell appeared in her other hand.

"Dang"

She shook it violently, and the bell rang loudly.

At this time, a black shadow suddenly swept down from an ancient tree next to the Golden Flower Poison Python.

Accompanied by a "hiss" sound.

The huge head of the Golden Flower Poison Python fell down immediately, and the blood was splattered, and the poisonous gas spewed from its mouth stopped abruptly.

Behind the Golden Flower Poison Python, a man in black came out with his shoulders shaking.

"Corpse control! Is she a disciple of the Black Fire Sect?"

When he saw the appearance of the man in black, Yuan Ming couldn't help but frown.

His whole body was not wearing black clothes, but was wrapped in black ribbons, from head to toe, with only two deep eye sockets not wrapped, revealing two balls of green light.

On the outside of his two arms, two slender scimitars were installed by some unknown method, and they were still stained with the blood of the poisonous python.

After killing the Golden Flower Poison Python, Bai Rong did not step forward, but quickly came to the stone wall here and looked at it carefully, as if she was looking for something.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming was a little surprised. He did not show up, but just observed silently.

Not long after, he saw Bai Rong searched the stone wall, took out something, and pressed it on a stone under the stone wall.

After putting it away, Bai Rong took the corpse and left in a hurry.

After her figure disappeared, Yuan Ming flashed out from behind the tree and searched under the stone wall with suspicion.

After he turned over the stone, he found that there was something similar to the jade talisman given by Bai Ye San Meng underneath, which seemed to be some kind of guiding beacon.

Yuan Ming hesitated for a moment, and did not move rashly without knowing what it was.

He covered the stone again.

When he wanted to chase Bai Rong again, he could not find any trace.

Yuan Ming looked back again, but saw that the black toad he had placed on the periphery for warning had actually run to the body of the Golden Flower Poison Python.

He hurriedly chased after it, and saw that the vines extending from the bulge on the black toad's back had pierced into the remains of the poisonous python, and seemed to be absorbing the remaining strength of the poisonous python.

A moment later, the body of the golden flower poisonous python, which was originally bulging with muscles, gradually became shriveled and shrunken.

The black toad squatting on the side was emitting a faint black mist all over his body, and the vines on his back were shaking with joy, obviously reaping a lot of benefits.

"I have only heard of snakes swallowing toads, but this is the first time I have seen a toad swallow a snake." Yuan Ming couldn't help muttering to himself.

The black toad immediately jumped up in front of him, which was considered a positive answer.

Yuan Ming thought about it and understood it in his heart.

When he relied on the art of cloaking hair to survive, didn't he also hunt beasts and swallow their flesh and blood to increase his strength?

So it is normal for this little black toad to swallow those poisonous moths before and swallow the golden flower poisonous python now, using poison to replenish poison.

"Since you love to eat poisonous things so much, let's go. I'll take you to eat until you're full." Yuan Ming said with a smile.

The little black toad immediately let out an excited low cry, kicked the ground with both feet and jumped up, jumping onto Yuan Ming's shoulder.

Yuan Ming continued to explore forward under the guidance of the Soul Crow.

The further he went in, the thicker the poisonous miasma became.

Later, Yuan Ming gradually felt obvious discomfort, and his breathing began to become heavy.

Just when he was about to stop and rest for a while, a burst of rapid fighting suddenly came from not far ahead.

"Bai Rong?" Yuan Ming subconsciously thought of that woman.

As soon as he thought about it, the Soul Crow flew over there first.

But when Yuan Ming saw clearly with the help of the Soul Crow, he found that the people fighting over there were not Bai Rong, nor one person, but Mangtun and Kunsha.

The two were surrounded in the center by four huge golden flower poisonous pythons, relying on a defensive magic weapon in Mangtun's hand to support themselves.

But the protective light shield emitted by the magic weapon was already riddled with holes, and it was obvious that it would not last long.

"Are you done? Can you do it?" The pig that controlled the magic weapon urged.

Kunsha was also busy with an anxious look on his face, and kept saying, "It's almost there, it's almost there..."

Yuan Ming saw this scene and felt something was wrong.

These four golden flower poisonous pythons were only at the fourth or fifth level of Qi Refining at best, so how could they force these two people to such a point?

At this moment, there were sudden and frequent movements in the forest.

Even though Yuan Ming was far away, he could feel the ground shaking violently.

At this time, he saw through the sight of the soul crow that huge shadows emerged in the rolling fog, and hundreds of golden flower poisonous pythons jumped out and rushed towards Mangtun and the others like a tide.

Under the huge pressure, Mangtun's defensive magic weapon finally couldn't hold up and collapsed.

But at the same time, a red light rose from the center of the two people, followed by a group of red mist bursting out.

Accompanied by Mangtun's painful roar.

The diffuse red mist was highly corrosive, and it forced the approaching golden flower poisonous pythons to retreat.

And because of the spread of the mist, a large number of golden flower poisonous pythons turned around and rushed towards Yuan Ming.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming hurriedly summoned the soul crow back, and he put away the black toad and hid towards the mountain wall.

However, before he ran far, those golden flower poisonous pythons had already twisted their bodies and rushed over quickly.

"Not good! This is a disaster of the level of a beast tide!" Yuan Ming knew that he could not resist it at all, so he quickly climbed up the mountain wall.

Just as the beast tide was about to surge, he climbed up a stone cliff in the middle of the mountain wall, where he saw a black cave more than one person high.

Yuan Ming rushed into the dark cave entrance quickly, and just took a step, his feet were empty, and the whole person lost balance and fell forward.

Fortunately, there was only a steep slope in front, not a cliff. After a few rolls, Yuan Ming supported the ground with one hand, stopped the rolling momentum, and stood up.

At this time, he found that the passage inside the cave entrance was unusually wide.

In the passage, there was a warm airflow blowing out continuously, blocking the poisonous miasma outside at the entrance of the cave. There was no miasma inside except darkness.

Yuan Ming stretched out his palm forward, slightly condensed some magic power, and formed a fist-sized fireball.

As the fingertip pointed forward, the fireball flew out with a "whoosh" sound, flying downward until it was ten feet away, and suddenly exploded.

Yuan Ming dodged the hot air wave sideways, and with the help of the sparks from the explosion, he could see the situation inside clearly.

The passage that was diagonally downward was very deep, and it was not empty. There were many huge white animal bones scattered on the ground. The more they were, the more they were. It looked like a cemetery for wild animals.

Yuan Ming's mind moved, and the soul crow flew in first to help him explore the route.

After walking for about a cup of tea, the soul crow finally passed through a pile of white bones that almost blocked the entrance of the cave and flew into an open and dark space.

The reason why it is called dark, not dark, is that this space is not completely underground.

Above it, there was a narrow opening, and there was faint light from the sky, which could barely be regarded as a cemetery.

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Ming punched open the large piece of animal bones blocking the entrance of the cave and came here.

As soon as he entered, he couldn't help shivering.

Although the skylight was visible in the cenote, it seemed even colder than the passage just now.

The higher you go in the cenote, the more vibrant the surrounding stone walls become, covered with green mosses and various ferns. Near the entrance, there are a lot of vines, which cover the already narrow entrance even more.

The ground in the cenote is also scattered with the bones of wild animals, most of which have decayed, and only a few still have uncorrupted fur.

After carefully checking around, he didn't find any danger, but in the middle of the cenote, he saw a black dead tree with a strange shape.

It was only three feet high, shaped like coral, with tentacles, and as black as ink, but it had a metallic luster, and looked like it was cast from black iron.

So at first, Yuan Ming really thought it was a piece of iron.

But when he looked carefully, he found that there were still wood textures on this "iron lump", with the scars of old trees, and exposed roots at the roots.

However, the whole tree was obviously dead and no leaves grew.

At the bottom of the tree roots, there was a slightly sunken pit, in which there were traces of water gathering.

Yuan Ming reached out and waved his hand above the bottom of the pit. He didn't touch it directly, but he felt a cold breath.

"Could this be the rumored Huangquan tree?"

A flash of inspiration came to his mind, and he suddenly remembered what this thing was.

According to the book, in some places where yin energy gathers, springs can gather by chance, attracting the yin energy of the earth veins to form springs.

This kind of spring water is Yinling Spring.

If a tree species falls into it and takes root and sprouts, the tree that grows is the Huangquan tree.

Therefore, depending on the seeds that fall into the Yinling Spring, the appearance of the Yellow Spring Tree is not fixed. Some can grow into thick trees, which can be used to make coffins to keep the body from decaying for a hundred years.

Some can only grow into short plants like the one in front of Yuan Ming. The bracelets or sandalwood made from them have very good calming and soothing effects.

The wood of the Yellow Spring Tree can also be used as one of the main spiritual materials for the refining of some special instruments.

In short, this is a very rare and good thing!
