Chapter 1043: Eternal Rainforest
He knew that the Eternal Rainforest was hot and humid, but only after he came here to experience it did he realize that it was so hot and humid.
The heat of the Eternal Rainforest affects not only the body, but also the heart. Walking in the jungle, the tall grass and trees almost blocked all the sunlight, and the vision was extremely dim. Even if the sun occasionally sneaked through the gaps between the branches and leaves, it could not bring warmth to people, but made the dark atmosphere here even more gloomy and terrifying.
Every breath seemed to be not air, but hot water. In the end, Li Chuyi simply held his breath, and the whole person seemed to be shuttled in a warm water vapor. The air behind him condensed into a white shadow that did not dissipate for a long time. With his ghostly speed, he looked like a ghost shuttled in the rainforest.
His clothes were wet and sticky. He tried to use his magic power to dry his clothes several times, but he finally endured it. It was not worth it to find a clue after all the hard work, and it would be a loss to make a move for the sake of a moment of pleasure.
Enduring the discomfort, he followed Yan Wuxu closely. To be honest, he was quite thankful that he brought Yan Wuxu with him. Otherwise, he would have been lost in such a dark forest.
"Are you sure you are going in the right direction?"
Yan Wuxu did not seem impatient at all after asking for the nth time. He turned around and nodded vigorously as usual: "Don't worry, it's okay."
Seeing that Li Chuyi had calmed down again, Yan Wuxu turned around and smiled silently. He did not blame Li Chuyi for asking so many times. Anyone who came to the Eternal Rainforest for the first time would be like this.
The Eternal Rainforest was affected by some unknown force. It was almost impossible to tell the direction in the forest. Even the powerful people in the Ascension Period might get lost. If you want to come and go freely here, you can only use a specially refined compass.
The compass in Yan Wuxu's hand was specially refined by Taixu Palace. It stored some of the terrain and conditions of the western part of the Eternal Rainforest that Taixu Palace knew.
The center of the compass is a transparent sphere with a thumb-sized drop of cinnabar liquid inside. There are no markings around the sphere, only different symbols and markings arranged in several layers around it. Each layer of symbols can be rotated. It can be rotated at will to form a specific arrangement and combination according to the holder's wishes. Each combination has its own specific meaning, and the cinnabar liquid will also change accordingly. The point pointed by the stretched tip is the place where the monk wants to go.
From this point of view, it is more appropriate to say that it is a map guide rather than a compass.
The direction that the compass can point to is limited to the information it stores. If there is no information record of the place where the monk wants to go, the cinnabar liquid will always be in the shape of a drop in the middle. The one in Yan Wuxu's hand was received by him in the silent hall. The information in it is far more detailed than that received by ordinary disciples. In addition, he has come here several times for business reasons over the years. The area covered by his compass is much larger than that of ordinary people. Wangyue Cliff is one of them.
Speaking of Wangyue Cliff, Li Chuyi really found the right person to find him. It is really hard to say how many people know about that place.
Moon-Watching Cliff is located in the deep west of the Eternal Rainforest. It is the outermost part of the entire Eternal Rainforest, but for ordinary people, it is a place where no one is allowed to enter.
Moon-Watching Cliff originally had no name. It was called this because every full-moon night, insects, snakes, and beasts would go there to watch the moon and worship. Some people say that those fierce beasts and poisonous insects are absorbing and exhaling the essence of the moon, while others say that they are just following certain habits in their blood. However, one thing is recognized by everyone, that Moon-Watching Cliff is definitely the most dangerous place in this area, without a doubt.
These aborigines hate outsiders, especially humans. The full-moon night is a sacred moment for them, and they cannot tolerate any disturbance. Moon-Watching Cliff has also become a holy place for them.
Once before, they came here to hunt down a traitor. Yan Wuxu's team and another team accidentally broke into the Moon-Watching Cliff. It happened to be the time of the full moon. As a result, except for him, who was in the Daotai period, only two people in the Dujie period survived. Including the traitor, the other twenty or so Daotai and Feisheng period masters were torn to pieces by the furious monster. Although the elder who led the team in the early stage of Feisheng also escaped, he was too deeply poisoned and died of poisoning before he could walk out of the Eternal Rain Forest. That battle left an indelible impression on Yan Wuxu.
If he hadn't been forced, he really didn't want to revisit the old place. But there was no way. If he didn't help Li Chuyi, Li Chuyi wouldn't take him away. Fortunately, it was the beginning of the month, and the moon was only showing its eyebrows. There wouldn't be too many beasts entrenched around the Moon-Watching Cliff. It should be okay if you are careful.
Although Li Chuyi didn't say it, he guessed why he went there. If you think about it carefully, whether it was intentional or coincidental, it is indeed an excellent hiding place.
As long as you are careful not to provoke the beasts that should not be provoked, hiding there is undoubtedly extremely safe. The beasts wandering around are natural barriers. No one dares to make a big move there unless they are fools. It is as difficult as climbing to the sky to find someone to get out.
He said these words to Li Chuyi, but Li Chuyi didn't care, so he could only follow.
However, he had made up his mind. If Li Chuyi really provoked something, he would drag Li Chuyi out even if he made the other party angry.
This ancestor couldn't die. He had already boarded his pirate ship. If he died, even if he got out alive, he wouldn't be able to escape Mo Tang's pursuit. Even if he defected to Dayan, it would be useless. He was born in Motang and he knew very well the capabilities of the eyes and ears of Taixu Palace. Compared with the Supervision Department of Dayan, Motang was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. .
As we go deeper and deeper, the sounds of insects and beasts roaring around us become more and more frequent. Yan Wuxu slowed down and was alert to the surroundings as he quietly landed next to Li Chuyi.
"You must be careful on the next road. Don't fall to the ground, and don't touch the surrounding trees and vegetation. The most important thing is that if you encounter danger, don't think about flying up and out of the forest. That way You will die faster! In short, don’t touch anything, suppress your energy to the lowest level, and treat yourself as a dead person!”
After looking at Yan Wuxu, Li Chuyi said nothing and nodded silently.
He was not as familiar with the road here as Yan Wuxu, but he only knew a lot more about the situation in the Eternal Rainforest.
Above the Eternal Rainforest is a dead land, which is ten thousand times more dangerous than the jungle below. There are not only the outer restrictions of the Forbidden Formation, but also because of the influence of the Forbidden Formation, it is filled with countless space cracks. If one is accidentally involved in it, the whole person will be sucked into the void and drift. It would be a disaster if any of the parts got caught in it. If the body was not dismembered on the spot, it would end up being disabled.
He also knew that at the very end of Jiuxiaoyun, there was not like other places in the human world that were filled with winds and thunders that could not be matched by human power. Instead, they were filled with space-time faults that were far more terrifying than the winds and thunders. They were only as terrifying as It is slightly inferior to the time and space storm encountered in the Holy Land of the Dragon Clan. Once involved, even if people do not die, they will be lost forever in the endless time and space maze.
It is said that the space-time fault there is not used to deal with the people and immortals in the three realms, but is used by the founder to resist the unknown terror that destroys the thirty-sixth level of the outer true world. Li Chuyi didn't know if his ancestor's worries were unfounded, but he knew his own weight, and it was better to keep such things as far away as possible.
Concentrating all his energy, Li Chuyi followed Yan Wuxu cautiously. He did not dare to stretch out his hands to block the branches and leaves that blocked his path, but instead walked around carefully to avoid them.
Yan Wuxu was not an alarmist, every hair on his body was telling him about the danger here. God knows if these lifeless tree branches are the tentacles of the old tree demon. He still remembers the old tree demon in Sansheng Forest. It is better for him to hide away from the difficulties of the wood spirit clan.
"careful!"
Suddenly, Diemeng sent a warning message.
Li Chuyi quickly grabbed Yan Wuxu, and the two of them turned to look at Diemeng on his shoulder.
Diemeng did not speak, her cold little face was full of solemnity, and she raised her chin and gestured to a dead tree in front of her. Li Chuyi moved his eyes and looked carefully for a long time, and suddenly felt a cold sweat in his heart.
Just now, I was talking about the old sophora demon, but in the blink of an eye, I met a similar one.
The dead tree in front of him seemed to be intact at first glance, but upon closer inspection, the looming demonic energy pulsating on the tree revealed its true face to him.
The most terrifying thing is that Li Chuyi can't see its cultivation level. He could only vaguely see the clues of the demonic energy with the Yin and Yang Taoist eyes, but he could not see the details of the old demon tree at all. Even its species was hidden due to its extremely decayed appearance.
"It seems to be a dead soul tree. It specializes in swallowing the ghosts of rotten things. It is not interested in living things and life, so it didn't attack us." After a long time, Diemeng said.
"Dead Soul Tree?!"
Li Chuyi's eyes suddenly widened. He had only seen the door panel of the ten-thousand-year-old dead soul wood once in Wuyang Cemetery. He didn't expect to see a living one here today.
Diemeng knew what he was thinking by looking at his expression, and she immediately looked at him speechless.
"I advise you not to think about it blindly. Even if you don't attract other ferocious beasts, you can't deal with the Dead Soul Tree itself. Its bark is so tough that only a master in the ascension stage can break it. Your Yazhan Sword can hurt Even if you get its skin, you can't move its bones. And if you think about the death energy in your body, once it detects it, you will never be able to leave alive!"
Swallowing hard, Li Chuyi spoke up and defended: "What are you talking about? I'm such a greedy person! Isn't it just a dead soul tree? I can't move my heart! When I want it later, I will go to the Wuyang Tomb again and remove the door panel of the Wuyang old monster. There is no need to work hard here! Sister Diemeng, this is not good. Do you think you are looking down on me? "
That's what he said, but one of his eyes was stuck to the dead soul wood and he couldn't pull it off. Diemeng rolled her eyes at him speechlessly, turned away and ignored him.
After staring fiercely for a while, Li Chuyi turned around and left in pain. After much deliberation, he didn't dare to walk under the tree, so he pulled Yan Wuxu around in a big circle to avoid it.
After continuing to move forward for an unknown amount of time, Li Chuyi suddenly felt something in his heart. He took out the jade slip and sensed it before pulling Yan Wuxu up and heading in one direction quickly.
After a while, the trees gradually thinned out, and more sunlight fell through the gaps, dispersing the surrounding darkness and making people's hearts warmer.
Right in front, two figures, one large and one small, suddenly appeared. Upon closer inspection, they were Li Sinian and Xiao Erhei. One person and one dog squatted on a branch as thick as three people hugging each other. After seeing Li Chuyi appear, Both waved their hands.
"Why are you here!"
