The sword is the devil

Chapter 385 Volcano Expedition
Hou Niao is in the bamboo forest under the volcano, watching the mangosteen blossoms.

In this month, a very small amount of bamboo has died after flowering, and this is just the beginning. The next two months will be the time when a large number of annatto bamboos will die, and it will also be the time when new bamboos will break out of the ground. Because of planting, life Alternation will occur in large numbers during this time period.

There was no movement in the crater, only the eruption of smoke that was strong and weak at times showed the activity of the volcano, but Hou Tiao didn't feel any signs of man-made manipulation, maybe it wasn't there, but it was also possible that his realm was too low.

More and more annatto bamboos began to die, and the blooming was the last and only blooming in their lives, leaving the pavilion alone.

What Hou Tiao felt was this kind of withering of life, just like what he felt was the change of four seasons when he was in Shangjing Tongxuan. The four seasons, the alternation of life and death, are part of nature.

Originally, according to his plan, he paid more attention to the second half of the alternation of life, breaking the bamboo and rebirth, but the time of a month is fast, and Mrs. Bamboo has not come up yet.

Looking at the five Zhudao monks he found, Hou Tiao sighed,

"You just wait here. I'll go down to investigate the truth. Don't come down until I hear from you."

Fengweizhu insisted, "I should go down."

Hou Ni was not polite, "Is it useful for you to go down? It's just that the teacher sings and the apprentice follows...you can't persuade Madam."

Fengweizhu was speechless. These words were a little harsh, but they were true. These days, they had gotten used to this sword cultivator's style. There was no malice, but the words were too direct.

The little fairy was very careful, "If the senior brother doesn't come up, why can't we just wait like this?"

Hou Tiao has a lot of meaning, "The volcano is an active volcano, which means that no one can go down too deep, and the transmission of information will not be too difficult; the bigger possibility is that the people below are unwilling to spread the news, rather than being unable to spread the news." out the news.

Mrs. Bamboo said beforehand that you are not allowed to go down, because she is your master, but I am not her apprentice. "

A few people came to the crater, and Hou Tiao felt the temperature here, which was still within the range he could bear.

"Let's do it for one month. I won't come up after one month. It's up to you how you do it."

Before everyone could answer, he jumped into the crater, and he was already falling slowly; the environment inside the crater was even worse than he had imagined, but he had stayed here for a month, and he had already tried it a few times. With a preliminary judgment on the environment, the reason why he dared to come in alone was of course certainty.

Inside the crater, the most dangerous direct threat is the temperature, as well as some kind of elemental magnetic interference mana operation phenomenon that becomes more and more obvious as it goes deeper and deeper.

Theoretically, when a monk runs mana to form a barrier around the body, or uses a targeted magic weapon, it can effectively isolate the influence of heat, and determine the depth and time of the monk's dive according to the depth of the mana and the ability to transform the five elements.

However, the further you go down, the more complex the various forces under the earth's crust are, especially the existence of the magnetic force, which will greatly affect the operation of monks' magic power, which makes it impossible for monks to reach their theoretical level. The deepest position that can be reached.

The magnetic force is ubiquitous underground, but most of the places are very weak and does not affect anything, but places like Blue Island are special cases; The greater the impact, but such an impact is not a worry for him.

This is why he would rather go down alone than with a companion.

He can protect himself well, but he may not be able to protect his companions well.

In the process of descending, the temperature is getting higher and higher, the smoke particles are getting thicker and thicker, and the other five senses of the six senses have long since failed, leaving only the spirit sense which is barely usable, but the detection distance is also constantly shrinking .

It might not be a big deal to him, but it is a big deal to the cultivators in the three realms of the sky. Mrs. Bamboo has been unwilling to pass on the method of getting in to her disciples, and she is not willing to pass on the method of getting in. Do you know why?

These five disciples must have sneaked into the crater secretly during this month. Hou Tiao knew it, but they just didn't point it out. If they didn't have enough strength and didn't go deep enough, they could only return without success.

As the depth of the descent became deeper and deeper, he also felt the pressure. The mana in his body was transported, and he used the geomagnetic element to balance the mana shield around his body and maintain the necessary human body temperature.

It has already dropped to fifty feet, and he estimates that his limit is about one hundred feet, which is his purpose. If it is deeper, he will not take risks, it is not worth it.

The detection range of the spiritual sense has been compressed to less than ten feet, and as it goes down, the range is still shrinking.

When he approached a hundred feet underground and almost reached the safety limit, he finally saw a touch of crimson, which was slowly surging magma, and at the same time had a powerful formation restraining force.

That's right, it was the most efficient for Jindan Shangxiu to place the magic circle here. It is much easier to suppress the magma and prevent it from erupting than to wait until it erupts to the crater and then close it.

There was much less smoke and dust here, and he barely opened his eyes, and then he saw Mrs. Bamboo, sitting on a node in the magic circle, silently performing exercises.

Sensing his arrival, Mrs. Bamboo slowly opened her eyes, stared at him with no expression on her face,

"You shouldn't be here."

"But I've already come, if you want me to leave, there must be a reasonable reason?"

Mrs. Bamboo remained silent, but Hou Tiao didn't let her go, "I've always wondered why you, as the lord of Bamboo Island, seem half-hearted and secretive when defending Bamboo Island?
This is not the attitude that a person who defends his homeland should have. What do you seem to be acquiescing to the Cang Pirates? "

Hou Tiao showed no mercy, "You chose to enter the volcano to close the magic circle, the timing is wrong! But I don't know what your purpose is?

I didn't know until I met Yu Daoguang that it was a piece of bamboo, was it bamboo essence or something else?But what I can be sure of is that you and this bamboo spirit must be related.

The bamboo island also belongs to the Cang Pirates, because Yu Daoguang is the bamboo spirit you cultivated; the Cang Pirates also belong to you, because as the master, of course you have the right to control it. "

Mrs. Zhu said slowly, "I have kept the secret for more than a hundred years, and none of my disciples suspect it, but I can't escape the eyes of an outsider..."

There was a sneer at the corner of Hou Tiao's mouth, "No, you didn't hide it from them, it's just that they didn't dare to say it out of respect for the master; that's why they let me down, because they were afraid that they wouldn't dare to face it. "

Mrs. Bamboo was silent again, but Hou Tiao hadn't finished speaking,
"But I still have too many questions. Why did your bamboo spirit go against you? What made you hide it from your disciples who have been with you for hundreds of years? Why do you ignore the bamboo spirit you have cultivated for hundreds of years?" Let him die?
When I see you now, I realize that my guess might be wrong? "
