Chapter 270 Sword Marks on the Wall and Towering Trees (Second Update)

Although Shi Xuan sensed that something was flying towards him, he was both amused and confused, because what flew over was a fruit core, the flesh on it had been eaten cleanly, and there was no place that could pose a threat.

He casually waved a divine thunder qi, and the fruit core turned into gray. Shi Xuan looked up at the place where the fruit core flew from, and saw the mysterious brown-yellow monkey standing on a big tree with his hands on his hips, looking at him, with his head raised to the sky, making a squeaking sound, as if laughing wantonly.

Seeing that Shi Xuan destroyed the fruit core he threw, the monkey was not angry. He swung his tail to the tree next to him, and disappeared into the vast forest with his hands and feet.

Shi Xuan was now more and more certain that this monkey was definitely not an ordinary monkey. Even if it was not a spiritual treasure, it must have an extraordinary origin. Otherwise, after using the Great Teleportation Technique, he could move more than 5,000 miles out of thin air, and ordinary Jindan Grandmasters would not be able to catch up.

While thinking about what the monkey was trying to do, Shi Xuan followed the information he had obtained and went to the deep jungle to find the sword marks left by the sword master's infinite sword energy. Starting from there, he searched around to see if he could find the sword master's trace.

In the jungle, the trees were tall and the leaves were dense. Millions of years of fallen leaves were deposited on the ground and then slowly rotted, turning into swamps and miasma, making it extremely difficult to walk.

Of course, for a cultivator of Shi Xuan's level, these were not a big problem. While hanging down the Soul-Bewitching Banner to absorb the miasma of millions of years, he turned into a breeze and moved back and forth in the dense jungle. In addition, all the monsters here were killed by the demons, so he did not encounter any obstacles along the way.

The only headache was that the monkey seemed to be entangled with him, jumping out from time to time to throw some fruit cores and peels at him. No matter how fast he escaped, he could not get rid of it. After throwing them every time, the monkey was very happy and laughed. Thinking of what happened in the hall, Shi Xuan thought that the monkey was playing hide-and-seek with him at that time...

The deeper he went into the jungle, the more careful Shi Xuan became, because there was a space passage there. If he was discovered by the demon, he could only flee in panic, especially if he was discovered by the Taiyin Moonlight Beast or the Great Sunlight King Beast. It was very likely that they would send out the leader of the tribe with the strength of the Golden Core, which would be extremely dangerous.

Carefully along the way, not to mention the many dangers, Shi Xuan finally found the small lake where the sword mark was found. It was not small, but it was at least a few miles in radius. Under a cliff, the waves were sparkling and reflected a little light - it was emitted by a kind of spiritual wood.

On the side of the cliff facing the lake, there is a deep sword mark, and there are small radial cracks around the sword mark, which is the characteristic of the sword old man's infinite sword energy.

Before Shi Xuan had time to start exploring, a blue water column suddenly flew out of the small lake and attacked Shi Xuan.

The Thunder Demon Sword turned into a blue lightning and rushed towards the water column. After the two collided, the water column collapsed and lightning flashed on every water splash.

At the same time, Shi Xuan threw the Yin and Yang Qi Bottle, which turned into a huge jade bottle in the air, releasing two black and white Qi as thick as a mountain peak, and sucked them into the small lake.

The lake water rushed up to the sky and kept pouring into the Yin and Yang Qi Bottle. The demons hidden in it showed up. They were transparent jellyfish-like creatures, and they were the shadowless evil demons. They were good at hiding themselves. No wonder Shi Xuan didn't find anything unusual when he explored with his spiritual sense just now.

This also reminded Shi Xuan that he had a defect in detection that was not commensurate with his own strength. He could only rely on the sense of consciousness. There were many magic, Taoist, and skills that could hide from the sense of consciousness. When he was attacked by the three soul-stage cultivators in Hongfeng Mountain, he discovered it at the moment when the other party attacked.

The Fiery Golden Eye in the Penglai School's Taoism was very effective in detection. Unfortunately, Shi Xuan gave up this Taoist art in order to learn the Lightning Purple Eye in the Jindan stage. Of course, the Lightning Purple Eye must be better in detection.

Those shadowless evil demons were only the strength of the initial stage of the soul. Under the absorption of the Yin-Yang Two-Qi Bottle, they didn't last long before they were thrown in. Shi Xuan activated the forbidden method and turned them into dirty blood.

The reason why Shi Xuan used the Yin-Yang Two-Qi Bottle was to absorb all the lake water by the way to see if there was anything strange at the bottom of the lake. Since he wanted to detect, he must be careful and not miss anything.

There were only strange rocks and silt in the dried-up lake, and nothing unusual could be seen. Shi Xuan had no choice but to pour the water back into the lake and began to look at the deep sword mark on the broken wall.

The sword mark itself and the surroundings of the small lake were normal, and Shi Xuan could not see any problems for the time being.

"Then the rest is to look in other directions to see if there are any clues. The Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan has recovered in the past few days. If there is any danger, I can escape immediately." Shi Xuan thought so in his heart. At this time, he heard the monkey's squeaking sound again. He looked up and saw that it was sitting on a thick branch, leisurely peeling the banana in its hand and stuffing it into its mouth. As for the banana peel, it was thrown to Shi Xuan without exception.

Shi Xuan couldn't catch up with the monkey, and couldn't hit it, so he could only treat it as nothing. After identifying a direction, he went in that direction and prepared to search the area of ​​hundreds of miles.

Shi Xuan walked in this direction for a while, but he did not get any useful information from his spiritual sense along the way. However, there was a towering tree in the distance, dozens of feet high, with a trunk that was as wide as dozens of people could hug, and it had lush roots and leaves. Even in this jungle, it was one of the tallest trees.

"Will this big tree become a spirit?" Shi Xuan secretly thought in his heart. Although there has been no sunlight for millions of years, the nature of these spiritual trees that can still survive is extraordinary, and some of them have bloomed. It is normal for Lingzhi to become a tree demon. Maybe this tree demon has been a spirit for tens of thousands of years.

Do you want to go up and ask? If this big tree becomes a spirit, it will definitely leave an impression on Old Man Jian. After all, in the past thousands of years, only a handful of monks have been here. The only thing that worries Shi Xuan Yes, I don’t know how strong this big tree is. If his cultivation is better than mine and he likes to eat blood, and he comes to him, wouldn’t that mean he’s going to die?

So Shi Xuan closed his eyes and unfolded his spiritual consciousness with all his strength, trying to sense whether the big tree had become a spirit and what its strength was. But as soon as his spiritual consciousness touched the big tree, an old voice came from his mind: "This Fellow Taoist, why are you spying on me for no reason?"

As soon as it spoke, Shi Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, because his spiritual consciousness had sensed it, and its strength was still in the divine soul stage. However, he did spy on it for no reason, so he could only accompany him: "This old man, I am just curious for a moment. , I want to see if you have opened Lingzhi, please forgive me."

The old voice chuckled and said: "It doesn't matter. I haven't seen a stranger in many years. I can only chat with those old guys. Now that I have guests coming, I feel happy." It seems that there is more than one tree demon in this jungle.

As if knowing Shi Xuan's worries, a yellow figure appeared in front of Shi Xuan, wearing a Ge Huang robe, with a protruding forehead and a white beard that reached to his waist: "It is necessary to be on guard against others. I can save this, but I don't know that your friend is there." What are you looking for? I’ve seen you searching for a while.”

"It's like this..." Since the tree demon mentioned it himself, Shi Xuan also spoke frankly and told the story. Of course, he didn't mention that this relic was an opportunity for him to achieve the golden elixir. He just said that he came to find the swordsmanship skills left by his predecessors. .

The old tree demon recalled it carefully before saying: "In the past tens of thousands of years, there have been no more than ten monks here. I did have an impression of the one who left the sword mark on the cliff. I didn't know why at the time, but he came to him for no reason. He struck a sword on the cliff, and then I was just in a daze, and his figure was no longer visible, and he never appeared again. "

Shi Xuan said thoughtfully: "Could it be that he carved the sword marks on the broken wall to leave some message? It's just that you, my father, are so good at it that you didn't see clearly where he was going."

"Oh, fellow Taoist, you are joking. I have developed spiritual intelligence for tens of thousands of years, and I have only reached the divine soul stage since my cultivation. If I had condensed the demon pill and transformed into a human form, I would have left far away. Why bother here to be frightened?" The old tree demon said. Sighing, it is difficult for the Caomu clan to open their spiritual wisdom, and it is equally difficult to practice, and it takes at least the golden elixir stage to transform into a human form. Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. After the Caomu clan opens their spiritual wisdom, their lifespan is counted for tens of thousands of years.

"What do you mean by my father-in-law's words?" Shi Xuan asked following his words in order to get more information from the old tree demon.

The old tree demon had a bitter look on his face: "There are often void demons coming and going here. If you accidentally find a trace, you will have to wait for death. After all, there have been several void demons with golden elixir strength here." But it I don't know, but demons with Yin Shen's strength have appeared in other places.

"I wonder what kind of golden elixir-powered heavenly demons are there? When will they come to the jungle?" Shi Xuan only knew that someone had encountered two golden elixir heavenly demons, the Linglong Tiger and the Powerful Demon Ape, here.

The old tree demon shook his head and said: "They may appear at any time, but I haven't seen those demons with golden elixir strength for probably decades. As for the species, there are only four tribes with golden elixir strength across the space passage. The Linglong Tiger, the Powerful Demonic Ape, the Taiyin Moonlight Beast and the Great Sunlight King Beast.”

Unexpectedly, there would be the Taiyin Moonlight Beast and the Great Sunlight King Beast with the strength of the golden elixir here. Shi Xuan couldn't help but restrain his breath and became more cautious. At the same time, he almost got the information he wanted to get, so Shi Xuan handed it over and left: "I still want it." Keep searching and don’t bother me anymore.”

The tree demon old man said with a smile: "I won't delay my fellow Taoist, but as the fruits on my body are ripe, fellow Taoist, please taste a few, it will prolong your life." As he spoke, he took out three small yellow fruits. There are some golden spots on it, and there are waves of fragrance.

I don’t know if the old tree demon is really generous or has evil intentions. In short, Shi Xuan doesn’t dare to eat it now. After all, he just met a stranger and he gave him a tree fruit that can extend his life, and he asked for nothing. He didn’t want to do anything. Something is wrong. Either this old man has been here for tens of thousands of years, and only a few people have come, and no one has taught him. Apart from the demons, there are only a few tree demons who have the same disease to communicate with, so he is still too immature in terms of strategy, or the old tree demon is really innocent at heart. Be generous and hospitable.
