Chapter 483: Unkind Visitors
When Yuan Ming and the other two saw the familiar purple flower meadow again, they were surprised to find that the flowers and plants around them not only did not suffer any damage, but also seemed to become more colorful, as if they had just been moistened by rain.
Yuan Ming and the other two looked at the scene in front of them and understood something.
Perhaps, this sudden star rain was a blessing from heaven for the creatures and plants in the secret realm, nourishing all living things.
However, for Yuan Ming and the other two, it was a real natural disaster.
"Alas, the treasure is not even there yet, and a magic weapon has been lost first. If I had known this, I might as well use the talisman given by Fusang Island." Long Chong sighed and complained.
"You should say less. Unless you don't want to rank, the three talismans should be used at the critical moment. How can they be wasted in such a place?" Qiong Yun raised his eyebrows and said disapprovingly.
Long Chong nodded helplessly, but then he looked up at Yuan Ming again, and then sent a message to Qiong Yun.
"You are right, talismans cannot be wasted, but it is okay for us two to lose one or two magic weapons with our big families. Yuan Ming is just a casual cultivator and does not have so many magic weapons to lose. In my opinion, if we encounter the star rain again, we should try to hold on for a while, so as to avoid Yuan Ming's loss and no magic weapons to use when he encounters the enemy." Long Chong whispered.
Unexpectedly, Qiong Yun heard his voice transmission and gave him a puzzled look:
"I did this when resisting the star rain just now. You didn't realize it just now, did you?"
Long Chong blushed, coughed a few times, and didn't feel embarrassed to say anything more.
On the other side, Yuan Ming relied on his powerful spiritual sense to hear the voice transmission between Long Chong and the other two, and nodded secretly.
These two people are very loyal, and they are worth making friends with.
But he didn't say anything, and continued to let Huazhi devour the flowers and plants here, and still only gave a bad evaluation.
Long Chong and the other two have finished communicating at this moment. Qiong Yun activated the compass, and the shadow of the round spoon still pointed to the southeast.
The three set out again, and this time, in order to find the treasure before the next star rain, they all sped up their speed. Even if they met monsters on the road, they would avoid them if possible and would not take the initiative to fight with them.
About an incense stick later, the continent still had not reached the end, and a swamp with purple fog appeared in front.
The swamp was full of purple reeds, extending endlessly to both sides, like a high wall, blocking the front.
There was almost no gap between the clusters of reeds, and the purple spikelets seemed to hang down weakly, but when you look closely, you will find that the purple spikelets are like the mouths and noses of living things, breathing gently, and the purple poisonous fog lingers on them, connecting with each other, forming a nearly non-existent poisonous fog giant net, covering the entire swamp.
There were occasional insect sounds in the dense reeds, but whenever Yuan Ming and the other two listened carefully, the sound stopped abruptly, as if it had never appeared.
Thick dark purple clouds appeared over the swamp, layer upon layer, emitting waves of ominous breath, heavy and oppressive, and the dazzling starlight falling from the sky was also swallowed up by it.
"What a powerful natural poisonous cloud, it can even swallow the power of starlight, it's better not to touch it easily." Long Chong said with a sigh.
Yuan Ming and Qiong Yun did not rush into it, and stopped at the edge of the swamp.
The black wooden compass was suspended in front of Qiong Yun, and the compass vibrated and pointed to the swamp ahead.
"No mistake, the treasure is in the swamp, and it actually made the black wooden compass react so strongly. It seems to be an incredible thing!" The woman showed excitement on her face.
Hearing this, Yuan Ming also became a little interested in his heart, and his spiritual sense explored forward.
However, his spiritual sense only entered the swamp for more than a hundred feet before it was blocked by an inexplicable resistance.
Long Chong and Qiong Yun also made surprised sounds, and it was obvious that the two of them also discovered the suppression of spiritual sense by the swamp.
"It is indeed a treasure-hiding place. There are indeed some tricks. It seems that we have to take the risk to enter. The two of you should prepare some poison-proof items." Long Chong said.
A colorful light flashed on Qiongyun's body, and a five-colored cloud bag appeared out of thin air, turning into a five-colored light shield to protect his body.
"This is a five-colored brocade cloud bag! The secret magic weapon of the Five Immortals Sect in Southern Xinjiang, how do you have it?" Long Chong was very surprised.
"Five Immortals Sect!" Yuan Ming raised his eyebrows.
Hongling was born in Pansi Island in Southern Xinjiang. He asked Hongling about a lot of situations in the sects in Southern Xinjiang, including the Five Immortals Sect.
The Five Immortals Sect is a very mysterious sect in Southern Xinjiang. It is good at using poison and is also proficient in Gu Shu. The Hundred Poison Cave in the northern region of Southern Xinjiang is also good at using poison, but compared with the Five Immortals Sect, it is simply a small witch meeting a big witch, not at the same level.
"Of course it was robbed." Qiongyun said lightly.
"You killed someone from the Five Immortals Sect? Those who can possess the Five-Colored Brocade Cloud Bag must be the core disciples of the Five Immortals Sect. The leader of this generation of the Five Immortals Sect, Gu Xian Po Po, is very protective of her shortcomings. Don't bring yourself into trouble." Long Chong looked worried.
"Don't worry, that person is a traitor to the Five Immortals Sect. The Five Immortals Sect knows about this and can't thank me enough." Qiong Yun said.
Hearing this, Long Chong breathed a sigh of relief and sacrificed a purple shell magic weapon to form a purple shield around him.
Yuan Ming had no poison-proof items, but this swamp poisonous fog could not stop him.
Hua Zhi flew out of the spirit beast bag and turned into a purple-black little man about the size of a foot and sat on Yuan Ming's shoulder. He performed the Golden Sunflower Beast Taming Technique, and a purple-black demonic power surrounded him.
"This place is extremely poisonous. Just in case, you should take these two anti-poison pills first. I prepared them for the Immortal Fruit Club. They can resist most of the poisonous gas erosion. You should also keep these few anti-poison pills first. If you feel that you are poisoned, take them immediately to avoid accidents." Long Chong said, taking out four porcelain bottles and handing them to Yuan Ming and Qiong Yun respectively.
Qiong Yun did not refuse and took the anti-poison pills according to his instructions.
Yuan Ming smiled slightly, knowing that Long Chong took out the pills mainly because he was worried about him.
He did not refuse the other party's kindness. He secretly used his spiritual sense to confirm that the pills were safe and swallowed them.
After the pills entered his stomach, Yuan Ming felt refreshed all over, and the air around him seemed to be much fresher.
After taking the pills, the three did not stay for long. They quickly split the reeds with magic weapons and stepped into the swamp.
The deeper they went into the swamp, the more lush the reeds grew around them, and in those dark corners, there were also many poisonous creatures lurking, quietly waiting for their prey to pass by.
Poisonous mosquitoes with six pairs of wings the size of fists, toads with purple ghost faces on their backs, and skinny poisonous snakes standing in the mud like reeds...
Yuan Ming and his two companions avoided them if they could, and quickly dealt with them if they couldn't. In less than an incense stick of time, they had wiped out seven or eight level three monsters, one of which even exploded into a demon pill, which Long Chong temporarily took into his pocket for safekeeping.
After working together to kill the poisonous lizard again, Long Chong wiped his sweat and was about to check whether the lizard monster had a demon pill, but Yuan Ming, who was standing behind him, suddenly changed his expression and stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Wait a minute, there is movement in the southwest, and there are quite a few of them. It doesn't seem to be a monster." Yuan Ming reminded in a low voice.
His main body's consciousness could not spread too far, but the first soul power in the Stealing Heaven Cauldron could fall easily.
Upon hearing this, Qiongyun immediately released his spiritual sense to investigate, but soon revealed a doubtful expression: "I didn't find any movement over there. Could it be that you sensed it wrongly?"
"No, I believe in Brother Yuan's judgment. Along the way, he was the first to discover the lurking monsters every time. His spiritual sense is stronger than ours, and he will never shoot without a purpose." Long Chong hummed for a moment, and suddenly shook his head.
Yuan Ming did not respond to them, but silently used his spiritual sense to investigate the southwest direction.
Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and he whispered quickly: "The other party also discovered us and is walking towards this side. There are five cultivators who use illusions to hide their tracks."
"Illusion? But Huan Lingzi?" Long Chong asked.
"It's this person. It seems that he has hostility." Yuan Ming said.
"Hostile? I know, Huan Lingzi has a good relationship with Cui Yu of Yehuo Island. You defeated Cui Yu in the competition, I'm afraid he came for you." Qiongyun glanced at Yuan Ming.
"I see." Yuan Ming nodded. No wonder Huan Lingzi attacked him the first time they met.
It was just that the battle between him and Cui Yu was fair and square, without any shady tricks.
And although Cui Yu was defeated, he was not seriously injured. Huan Lingzi came to trouble him for such a small matter?
"Oh, that's just right. I've been annoyed with this guy who likes to stab in the back for a long time. Today is a good opportunity to teach him a lesson." Long Chong waved his hand disapprovingly and clenched the magic spear.
Qiong Yun's eyes were cold, and he didn't seem to like Huan Lingzi either.
"Here he comes, to the east." Yuan Ming reminded him through voice transmission.
Although Long Chong saw no changes around him, he trusted Yuan Ming's judgment very much. He chopped and swept with the spear in his hand, and shot out seven or eight water blades in a row, slashing in the direction Yuan Ming said.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Long, don't do it. I'm not a monster."
Along with laughter, a light red spiritual light suddenly flashed, hit the water blades, and easily dispersed them.
At the same time, Long Chong and the other two saw that the reeds in front of them suddenly twisted, as if someone was stirring the water and pouring ink into it. However, after a moment, the twisted reeds suddenly returned to their original state, and five figures of different sizes appeared and landed in front of the three people.
The leader was Huan Lingzi, who was dressed in white. At this time, he had a faint smile on his face. He didn't seem to care about Long Chong's attack just now, and it didn't seem like he was here to seek revenge.
The four people behind him were other second-level island players who made it into the top 16.
The first person was Yun Jiuxiao from Jinlian Island. He was dressed like a scholar, with a Confucian shirt and a black silk scarf. Beside him floated a three-eyed octopus less than half a person's height, and his body was only black and white.
Standing side by side with him was the Ice Heart Fairy from Hanjing Island, with white hair and eyebrows, and a frosty face. It was impossible to see any expression at all.
Mi Luo from Wuyun Island hid behind the two of them. He was dressed in green and had a face with many wrinkles. He looked kind, but in fact, he was best at poison.
As for the last person, it was Wu Lu who disguised himself as Hong Chang from Xueyan Island. His silver hair was a bit eye-catching. When he appeared, he quietly gave Yuan Ming a meaningful look, and then he stopped making eye contact with Yuan Ming.
"Huan Lingzi, why are you hiding so much? I almost thought there was another monster coming." Long Chong snorted and said.
"There are so many monsters in this reed field. I am just in case. However, I didn't expect to meet you, Qiongyun, and this fellow Daoist Yuan here." Huan Lingzi said indifferently, glancing at Yuan Ming intentionally or unintentionally.
"Hmph, Huan Lingzi, I know what you are thinking. Fellow Daoist Yuan and I are old friends. As long as I am here, you can't even think of taking advantage of him!" Long Chong shouted.
