Chapter 533 Going up the Mountain
Although Lei He did not speak, he looked at the Qinggui straw hat on Yuan Ming's head, and his eyes also flashed with surprise.
"Senior Zhao Gui knew that my cultivation was not enough and it was inconvenient for me to move in this peach forest, so he gave me this straw hat to cover myself a little." Yuan Ming said so.
"Why is he so good to you? Is there some shameful deal between you and him?" Yan Xiang showed a jealous look and said bluntly.
Ever since he met Zhao Gui, he has been very angry, but he couldn't vent his anger. On the contrary, Yuan Ming seemed to be quite courteous, which made him even more angry.
"Senior Yan Xiang, you are too serious. There is nothing shameful. It's just that I was lucky in the stone forest before and found a few more blooming golden sunflowers. Senior Zhao Gui said that he would not take advantage of me, so he gave me this thing in exchange for extra golden sunflowers." Yuan Ming didn't care and replied happily.
Upon hearing this, Yan Xiang's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he clenched his fists, as if he was going to snatch it the next moment.
Lei He saw that something was wrong, and when he was about to say something, something strange happened.
With a "crack", the ground under Yan Xiang's feet suddenly cracked, and a dark green tree root quickly emerged, like a spirit snake, and quickly wrapped around his legs.
Yan Xiang cried out in surprise, but his reaction was extremely fast. A red light flashed in the palm of one hand, and the red sword appeared out of thin air, turning into a red shadow and swinging down without hesitation, slashing fiercely on the dark green root.
With a muffled "bang", the great sword magic weapon was repelled, but only a shallow mark was left on the dark green root.
"How is it possible!" Yan Xiang was shocked, this red sword is an eight-rune magic weapon!
Yuan Ming and Lei He were also shocked.
Lei He was about to turn around to rescue him, but the next moment his eyes widened, his body paused, and his face changed from gloomy to bright.
Yan Xiang let out a scream, and his legs suddenly shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye. A bunch of fine thorns emerged from the blue-black roots and pierced into Yan Xiang's legs.
Not only that, a bunch of hair-like blue-black gas roots shot out from the roots, piercing into other parts of Yan Xiang's body.
Yan Xiang was still struggling frantically, but he couldn't get rid of the roots wrapped around him. His flesh and blood began to become concave as if they were pulled out, and his breath also weakened rapidly.
Lei He's pupils shrank and he turned around without hesitation and fled into the distance.
Yuan Ming and Yan Xiang had a bad relationship, so he ran faster.
Boom!
Several long dragon-like thick roots drilled out of the ground and pounced on Yuan Ming and the others.
Yuan Ming used the ghost shadow escape method and barely avoided the entanglement of the roots.
However, before he could catch his breath, countless dark blue tree trunks and vines rushed out from the ground around him, intertwined in the air, and instantly formed a lush dark blue forest, covering Yuan Ming and Lei He.
Under the cover of countless towering trees, the originally dazzling and scorching environment suddenly became dark, and even moist water vapor appeared in the air.
The dark blue forest looked lush and full of vitality, but all the peach trees within its coverage instantly withered, and the spiritual energy of the world within a radius of hundreds of feet disappeared in an instant, turning into a land of death.
A sudden coldness in a certain part of the forest, the branches and leaves of the trees in that area were all covered by white ice.
"Boom"
After a few breaths, a purple gun shadow broke through the ice, revealing Yuan Ming's figure.
Almost at the same time, another part of the dark blue forest burst into thousands of lightning, and a figure wrapped in lightning shot out, but it was Lei He.
Both Yuan Ming and Lei He were pale and panting at this time.
This dark green tree is too scary. The moment they were covered by the forest, they felt that their mana, soul power, and blood power were being sucked away at an incredible speed.
If the two of them had not had their own means to deal with it, and had not burst out in time to rush out with all their strength, they would have been sucked dry now.
"Where did the monster come from? We can't deal with it. Let's go!" Lei He was terrified. He took out a pill and swallowed it, then turned into a lightning and shot into the distance.
Yuan Ming's mana and soul power were mostly lost, with less than 30% left. He also took out a lotus seed and swallowed it. While his mana was quickly restored, lightning flashed under him, and Lei Yu's figure emerged, carrying him forward.
A loud "bang" sound came from behind!
A red fire phoenix spread its wings and broke through the green forest, chasing after Yuan Ming and the others. Everything along the way that touched the fire phoenix was turned into ashes.
Lei He did not slow down, turned his head and glanced, with surprise flashing on his face.
Yuan Ming glanced at the fire phoenix and was also stunned.
A figure was wrapped in the unstoppable fire phoenix, and it was Yan Xiang.
At this moment, his legs were broken at the knees, his clothes were messy, and he looked very embarrassed, but his eyes were red, as if he was about to spit fire.
In his hand, he held a red feather fan, which looked somewhat similar to his previous green feather fan. There was a phoenix relief on the handle, and the fan was covered with clusters of golden red feathers.
The surface of the red feather fan was shining with spiritual light, and it burst out with terrifying spiritual pressure, which made Yuan Ming's chest feel stuffy from a distance.
"This fan should be a replica of a spiritual treasure, and its power is probably not less than my Purple Star Nine Dragon Spear." Yuan Ming was secretly shocked, and felt that this Yuanying period cultivator was indeed not a simple person.
Then, a roar came from the green forest, and the trees in the sky quickly converged and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Instead, a tall, green-skinned and green-haired weirdo appeared.
This strange man looked similar to Huazhi in human form, and was chasing after Yuan Ming and the other two.
The blue monster ran very fast, not inferior to the physical cultivators at all. There was a layer of green light flashing on his legs. Every step he took could advance dozens of feet in the air. It seemed to be a wood escape technique, and he quickly approached the three people.
"Split up and escape, and meet under the golden giant peak!" Lei He shouted loudly, turning into a lightning and shooting to the left front.
Yuan Ming almost slapped the thunderstorm under him at the same time, turning into a thunder shadow and sweeping to the right.
Yan Xiang was seriously injured and reacted half a beat slower. He cursed the two men for being treacherous, but he could only bite the bullet and continue forward.
The blue monster seemed to be not very smart, and subconsciously chased Yan Xiang in the previous direction.
Yuan Ming sensed this scene, breathed a sigh of relief, controlled the thunderstorm to make a big circle, and then ran towards the golden giant peak.
...
One day and one night later.
The towering mountain peaks were as high as clouds, and they were covered with golden colors, as if they were made of gold, and like the sun in the sky, falling to the world.
At the foot of the mountain, three streams of light flew out from the peach forest not far away. They were Yuan Ming, Lei He, and Yan Xiang.
A cloud of dust followed the three people, and the earth shook. It was a dozen green monsters chasing them.
Yuan Ming and the other two had fled separately before, but a dozen green monsters appeared in the peach forest and chased Yuan Ming and Lei He separately, forcing the three back together.
With this episode, the conflict between Yan Xiang and Yuan Ming was naturally no longer taken care of.
With the speed of the three people, they arrived at the bottom of the giant peak in the blink of an eye. They saw a mountain road winding to the peak. On both sides of the road, they could vaguely see several palaces located, which were not arranged neatly.
"These tree people are haunting behind us. This is not a solution." Lei He said in a muffled voice.
"Why bother with them so much, just climb the mountain!" Yan Xiang snorted.
On the way, he used some secret method to recover his legs. The light he turned into did not stop at all. He turned his direction and flew towards the top of the mountain.
But Yan Xiang just crossed the foot of the mountain and did not fly higher. He suddenly fell heavily to the ground.
In the smoke and dust, Yan Xiang coughed and got up, waved away the smoke and dust, and looked at Lei He and Yuan Ming who fell behind and landed steadily with dissatisfaction.
"Daoyou Yan Xiang, you are too impatient. How can there be no no-fly ban in such a place?" Lei He shook his head and said.
"We have to give it a try. Those tree people are behind us. How can we outrun them if we climb the mountain slowly!" Yan Xiang snorted and flew up along the mountain road.
Lei He and Yuan Ming followed closely.
Those green monsters also chased after him, but stopped in front of the golden giant peak.
Yuan Ming and the other two were all happy when they saw this.
"It seems that the tree man is a test of the peach forest, and it will stop when we reach the giant peak." Lei He exhaled lightly and said happily.
Although flying is prohibited on the mountain road, it is forbidden to escape. The three figures quickly disappeared in front.
The blue weirdo danced and roared, but did not climb the mountain.
Yuan Ming and the other two ran for a long distance. Seeing that the blue weirdo really did not chase them, they finally let go of their worries.
However, they did not slow down their pace and climbed up with all their strength.
Soon, the three of them came to the nearest palace, but the palace gate fell to the side, and the wall next to it was covered with sword cuts, as if it was forcibly broken open by someone.
The three hurriedly went in to search, and as expected, they did not find any treasures.
"Humph! Sure enough, someone walked in front of us, and everything was taken away. We have to be faster, otherwise we can't even drink the soup!" Yan Xiang came out of the palace with an extremely ugly face.
Then the three of them quickened their pace and encountered several palaces along the way, but like the first one, the gates were forcibly broken open and the things inside were taken away.
Lei He and Yan Xiang walked faster and faster, but Yuan Ming was not too anxious. He followed behind them and kept exploring the surroundings with his spiritual sense.
Not only in the palace, but also in some mountain roads, there were traces of fighting. Obviously, there were dangers on the mountain roads, and they must not be careless.
A quarter of an hour later, the three of them came to a place near the middle of the mountain. Their expressions changed slightly, and there was a faint sound of fighting in front of them.
Lei He and Yan Xiang looked at each other, and immediately rushed in the direction of the sound, and soon arrived at a flat area on the mountainside.
There was a towering golden palace here, and the door was closed and had not been broken.
In the open space in front of the palace, Gu Xuanyang, the owner of Jinao Island, was controlling a golden flying sword magic weapon and fighting with two strange beasts that were as heavy as gold and stone.
Not far from him, Qianbao Taoist held a jade whisk and waved thousands of white silks, trying to entangle another smaller golden and stone beast.
These golden and stone beasts were shaped like fierce lions, more than ten feet tall, and as hard as iron. Gu Xuanyang's flying sword was even sharper, and almost every sword could cut off part of the beast's body.
The two beasts that were fighting against him were already covered with wounds, and one of them had half of its body cut off, and the other was also missing a hind leg. There were gold and stone fragments of various sizes scattered on the ground around them.
In comparison, Qianbao Taoist's whisk could not have any effect on the golden and stone beasts, and the white silks were often burned by the fire spewed by the beasts.
Qianbao Taoist was only barely invincible through talismans and other means. He looked quite embarrassed, and his clothes were also a little burnt, obviously because he was accidentally burned when dodging.
