Chapter 614: Strange Village
After leaving the cave of the Silver Fang King, Chen Luo did not stop for a moment and fled in the direction he came from at the fastest speed. Unlike when he came here, Chen Luo walked very fast. Every time he stepped down, his figure would change his position, as if shrinking the earth into an inch. In a few flashes, he left this ice field.
As he moved away, the sense of peeping that followed him like a shadow gradually dissipated.
The surroundings were covered with ice and snow again.
Stopping, Chen Luo looked back. At this position, it was impossible to see the outline of the valley where the cold pond ice cave was located. All he could see were ice-blue snowflakes.
What level of monster was at the bottom of the cold pond?
There must be good things under the cold pond, there is no doubt about it. But the big guy below gave Chen Luo a feeling of extreme danger. This was a situation he had never encountered since he was promoted to the sixth level. Out of caution, he chose to leave this place.
"The demon clan is really not a good place. Fortunately, I didn't come here in advance."
The mentality that was relaxed because of the breakthrough in cultivation before became cautious again.
Unlike the Qunxing Sect, which was promoted by picking up the legacy of the White Fairy Cave, the demon race has a long history, and the life span of demon cultivators is far longer than that of humans. It is hard to guarantee that there will not be one or two old monsters who survive in the race. As long as one of these old monsters survives, it will subvert the pattern of the cultivation world.
After walking for another half a day, the ice and snow gradually faded.
The world also changed from the monotonous ice and snow to a colorful world, with green plants and soil in sight. Except for a few ice residues on the soil layer, he was completely out of this place. Although there was still some chill, it was not so big.
Just as Chen Luo raised his foot to walk out, a strange barrier appeared in front of him. When he landed again, he found himself back at the border of the ice field.
Looking back, the world of birdsong and flowers turned behind him.
One step away, the world is so far away!
This feeling was like passing through a mirror. This change made Chen Luo feel a little uneasy.
‘Demon power restriction. ’
The brain that was proficient in formations quickly became active.
Before Chen Luo could think of a solution, the cave gourd on his waist suddenly lit up with a layer of blue light. The ice blue flower that King Yin Ya gave him flew out of it and appeared in front of him, spinning. The light blue light flowed through his body like a water curtain, and then exploded like an ice crystal.
The stream of light merged into Chen Luo's body like a drop of water, and when he looked at the blue light in front of him, he had a feeling of "seeing through".
'The same source of demon power can break the demon ban. '
In the external brain, the hatred of the third brother first emerged.
Chen Luo's heart moved, and he raised his feet to the barrier again. This time, he did not encounter any obstacles and walked out easily.
Leaving the ice and snow and stepping on the soil again, Chen Luo felt relieved, and the feeling of being banned disappeared.
"It seems that King Yin Ya also knows the big guy under the cold pond."
Chen Luo instantly understood the cause and effect.
The Silver Fang King was trying to make peace with him, most likely wanting to establish a good relationship and owe him a favor. But Chen Luo didn't buy it. The flower of the Silver Fang King just saved him some time. Even without the flower, he could still get out of there.
Spiritual power surged, and the whole person took a step in the air. When he landed again, he was already in the air.
Looking down, Chen Luo found that the extremely cold land behind him seemed to be hidden. A thick layer of ice fog appeared outside, and the wind and snow whistled in it, making it difficult to see clearly. Only an abstract outline could be vaguely felt, and this outline was like a whole.
An exaggeratedly large 'Kun'.
"This place can't be visited for the time being."
After noting the location, Chen Luo turned around and turned into a stream of light, flying away without looking back.
A few days later.
Chen Luo came to a mountain range. The temperature here was getting higher and higher, and there were more and more green plants around. After crossing a mountain range, Chen Luo hovered here.
According to the information left to him by the flower-backed turtle before, this was the tomb he found. But the specific location of the entrance is unknown. Large tombs usually have hidden means. The hiding methods of the demon clan are mostly related to their own innate magical powers. It is very difficult to search out of thin air.
"Where are the people?"
Chen Luo held the communication talisman in his right hand to make sure that he had not found the wrong location.
After flying down, Chen Luo spread his spiritual sense and tried to find it. As a result, neither the flower-backed turtle nor Yuwen Ling and Ding Jian gave any feedback. These three guys seemed to have evaporated from the world.
'Did you encounter some big demon? '
Chen Luo spread his spiritual sense and searched around.
As a result, he still found no clues. This place is very ordinary, without even a spiritual vein. In addition to the miasma and poisonous insects, there are only a few small demons who practice hard in the mountains. The strongest one is only in the late stage of Qi Refining, which is not as good as the black bear that lifted the pot on the ice field before.
Chen Luo changed his appearance and flew down from the air.
He found a pangolin and prepared to ask it about the news in the vicinity to see if there were any clues left by the three flower-backed turtles.
"My lord, I really don't know."
The pangolin knelt on the ground and trembled. A dozen female beasts in the nest next to it looked at the direction where Chen Luo was standing in horror.
"Forget it, I'll see for myself."
After asking for a long time, Chen Luo found that this little monster knew nothing about the outside world. In his understanding, he was the strongest king in this mountain forest, and all monsters with enlightened intelligence were his subordinates. If Chen Luo hadn't suddenly appeared, he might still be living the life of a mountain king.
Don't ask about the outside world, don't go out of the mountain.
Just manage one-third of an acre of your own land.
Chen Luo put his hand on the pangolin's head, and the picture flashed by like a slide. This is a method newly developed by several brains in the external brain who are studying the "Soul Searching Technique". It can read the memories of the weak without harming the soul.
Chen Luo's original task for these external brains was to rewrite memories, but now it seems that the progress is not very satisfactory.
Pangolins have simple memories.
In addition to foraging for food, the rest of the day is spent mating. As one of the few monsters in the mountains, he lived a very comfortable life. He found more than three hundred spouses alone. The female beasts left in the lair were the ones he carefully selected.
Skipping these disorganized memories, Chen Luo quickly found what he wanted in them.
The time was two years ago.
An evening.
A pangolin saw a strange sunset on a mountain top. The sunset that day was particularly beautiful, like demon blood, and its red color was a bit abnormal. However, pangolins that had never been outside regarded this situation as a natural phenomenon and ignored it.
‘Twenty miles to the northwest. ’
As the thought emerged, Chen Luo locked the location in his memory, dropped the pangolin, and reached the location in his memory in a few flashes.
A cold breeze blew.
This is a high mountain cliff. Looking down from this position, Chen Luo discovered a strange village.
The village of demon clan.
"strangeness."
Withdrawing his consciousness, Chen Luo felt something was wrong.
There is no trace of monster power in the village below. The monsters in the village live a normal farming life just like humans. This kind of scene is normal on the Star Gate side, but it's not right on the Monster Clan side.
According to Chen Luo's understanding, only monsters who have entered the Tao can be born with spiritual wisdom, break away from the category of 'beasts', and learn the human way of life. The monsters below clearly don't fit this example. How do they maintain their intelligence without cultivation?
Thinking of the news about the flower-backed turtle, Chen Luo changed his figure and put on a new 'skin', and the old inn fox in the external brain revived.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Luo transformed from his previous human form into a fox demon.
Chen Luofei, who had changed his appearance, fell down. After gathering his aura, he walked along the mountain road.
The mountain village is quiet.
Completely isolated from the outside world, like a paradise.
The air is filled with the fragrance of grass and trees, and the mountain plants are exceptionally lush. The raised rocks are covered with vines, and some strange insects that have never been seen before shuttle among them.
"The aura has changed, and only the wood attribute aura and demon power remain."
The external brain is highly active and analyzes the changes in spiritual energy around it. Chen Luo was also observing his surroundings, and he stopped near the mountain pass.
He turned around and walked to an old locust tree that was embraced by three people. He squatted down and fiddled with it twice, and found a black tortoise shell from the rubble.
‘Brother, help me. ’
Chen Luo rubbed it twice with his hand, a gray-white breath overflowed from the tortoise shell, and a familiar voice appeared in his ears.
It is what the flower-backed turtle left behind.
"Are you in danger or have you been caught?"
Chen Luo felt a sense of vigilance in his heart. He called up the external brain responsible for sensing danger. He looked around and found no source of danger. These brains that sense danger are all geniuses discovered by Chen Luo, and there are many geniuses who died young. These brains are uniquely equipped for murderous intent and danger perception.
Putting away the tortoise shell, Chen Luo continued to move forward.
Approaching the village, Chen Luo saw a beautiful scenery like a picture scroll.
Smoke curls from cooking pots and children play.
Under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, a rickety figure sat.
It was a black-backed pig demon.
This pig demon is like a human being, wearing a pair of black trousers and a blue belt around its waist. It sits on a wooden stake with its buttocks and a pig's hooves stepping on the stone next to it. Holding a dry cigarette in his hands, he looked sideways at Chen Luo who walked in from outside.
"Looking for someone?"
"Borrowing."
A smile appeared on Chen Luo's face and he replied very kindly.
"The seventh house at the entrance of the village is unoccupied."
The black-backed pig demon replied and continued to smoke. It was as if he was used to seeing outsiders and had no desire to even talk.
Enter the village.
Chen Luo found that the spiritual power here became more extreme.
Except for the wood attribute spiritual power, other attributes of spiritual power cannot be used here. If there are immortal cultivators here, they will find the seven attribute spiritual roots. Except for the wood spiritual root, all other spiritual roots here are useless spiritual roots.
This is a place where only wood spirit roots can practice. (End of chapter)
