Chapter 224 Guessing and the Serpent

"Secret Realm...should have passed away..."

Along the way, Chu Mu also had such a judgment in his heart.

From what we've seen along the way, this seems like a sure thing.

With such a strong aura in the secret realm, if it has been isolated from the world for thousands of years, among other things, most of the trees, flowers and plants in front of me are probably rare treasures that are rarely seen by the outside world.

Although it is extremely difficult for plants to break through their own growth cycle, it is nothing more than a matter of probability.

Under the huge number, it is inevitable to appear.

In an environment that has been isolated for a long time, under the law of the jungle of survival of the fittest, it is inevitable that it will appear universally.

After all, if there is a tree that exceeds its own growth cycle in the forest, it will inevitably occupy the growth space of other plants.

If other plants can survive, it is obvious that they can only be spiritual plants.

But in front of him, although there are spiritual plants that exceed the growth limits of flowers and trees, they are only exceptions, not universal.

In this forest, there is no trace of being destroyed and mined.

This is undoubtedly not in line with common sense.

Unless, this secret realm has once appeared in the world, and a large number of immortal cultivators have descended...

Thinking in his heart, Chu Mu looked at the tree in front of him. Compared with other trees nearby, this tree in front of him was much thicker, and the texture of the bark was much more delicate.

Under the cover of spiritual consciousness, it seems that he can clearly perceive the fluctuation of his aura.

"The Cangtong Tree..."

After a little identification, the name of the tree came to mind.

Cangtong tree has a wide range of functions, but in the world of cultivating immortals, one of its most common uses is to make boats.

It is worth mentioning that the Cangtong tree itself is a cultivated spiritual plant. Its normal growth cycle is about 30 years, and thereafter it is a 30-year cycle. Hair is rare.

And Cangtong wood, the most precious, is the wood in the innermost ring of Cangtong wood, which is usually called Muxin.

In many square cities, most of the low-level flying boats are almost made of this wood core as the main material.

And the Cangtong tree in front of him, whose age is at least a hundred, has gone through several growth cycles, and it is obviously considered a rare treasure for him in the outside world.

Chu Mu touched his bosom, took out one from a stack of storage charms prepared at a huge expense, Ming Hongdao appeared, and within a short breath, the paulownia tree in front of him shed its outer skin and turned into a A log with roots like jade.

"150 years..."

After identifying the annual rings, he chopped the cangtong wooden heart into several pieces and threw them into the storage talisman.

Looking at the surroundings, there are mostly young spiritual plants and some ordinary people.

The judgment in my heart has become more and more certain.

Out of the valley, there are rolling mountains, which are quite similar to the terrain of the former Jade Emperor Valley.

However, outside the Jade Emperor Valley, there are secular mountains, and outside this valley...

The emerald green dragonfly is suspended, and the picture taken by the photo stone flows clearly.

The surrounding mountain peaks are all very clear.

But in the mountains...

There are many monsters...

Chu Mu turned his head and glanced at the silent valley, his heart trembled.

There is peace in the valley.

The valley is full of monsters.

What does this prove?
It proves that there must be an extremely powerful monster in the valley, deterring all monsters outside the valley.

And Wangcai was in the valley just now, but he didn't notice...

In other words, did the monster temporarily leave, or was it good at holding back its breath?
"So, someone is planning to kill this monster, or in other words, what treasure is in it?"

Chu Mu thought silently, the world of monsters is obviously the naked law of the jungle.

Monster beasts with strong cultivation bases and strong fighting power occupy the best spiritual veins, the places with the most aura, and the places with the most aura are obviously the most suitable environment for the growth of heaven, material and earth treasures.

Moreover, the instinct of the monster is extremely sensitive. If there is a treasure in that place, the monster instinctively feels that the treasure is good for itself, so it will naturally guard the place where the treasure is, waiting for the treasure to mature.

Therefore, the saying that monsters guard heaven, material and earth treasures is widely circulated in the world of cultivating immortals.

Chu Mu subconsciously looked back at the end of the valley, feeling a little moved. If the monster really left temporarily, then...

Monster beast, the whole body is a treasure!
Flesh, bones, fur, and even spirits are all high-quality spiritual materials.

And the treasure guarded by monsters...

A monster that can monopolize the valley and prevent other monsters from approaching for half a step is obviously impossible to be a first-order monster.

A high-level monster, the treasures that all need, will it be ordinary?

"boom!"

"Roar……"

When Chu Mu was thinking, at the end of the valley, there was a roar, a breathtaking roar, followed one after another!

"Woooooooo..."

Wangcai slightly bent his front legs and stared at the end of the valley. When he sobbed, his body trembled a little.

fear……

Wangcai's mood swings are very clear.

In the field of vision, there is only a faint light flickering, and a faint spiritual energy fluctuation, which seems to be detectable.

The distance is too far, and I can't see the specific situation clearly, but it is clear that at the end of the valley... there is a fight, and among them, there is a monster...

Chu Mu raised one hand, and the two emerald green dragonflies around him, one left and one right, flew towards the place where the movement came from the valley.

"Wangcai, come here."

Chu Mu shouted, and very quickly followed the way he came, heading towards the valley.

Wangcai followed closely behind, one person and one dog, his breath restrained, and finally hid in the forest on the side of the valley exit.

The distance is still far away, and it is difficult for the naked eye to see the situation clearly, but it has also reached the range of the bamboo dragonfly's spiritual control.

At this moment, two emerald green dragonflies, one on the left and one on the right, are staying on the treetops, blending with the color of the treetops.

Whether it is the naked eye or the spiritual sense, it is difficult to detect the existence of the dragonfly.

And in Chu Mu's spiritual perception, there are two heavenly eyes, one on the left and one on the right, monitoring the water pool at the end of the valley.

All the scenes, through the monitoring of the bamboo dragonfly, came into mind very clearly.

At this moment, in the water pool, the most conspicuous thing is a very visually stunning black giant snake.

The giant snake hovered above the water pool, and the height of the snake's body was more than ten meters high.

Around the pool, more than a dozen immortal cultivators seemed to be in a certain formation, besieging the giant snake.

Roaring continuously and shining brightly, facing the methods of the immortal cultivator, this giant snake was obviously a little uncomfortable and seemed extremely stiff.

But the majestic aura of the giant snake proved beyond doubt that it was a second-order monster.

Moreover, it is not an ordinary second-order monster.

Chu Mu looked at the trembling Wangcai beside him, thoughtful.

It is not that Wangcai has never faced a strong foundation builder. In Shuitianfangfang, in the surrounding black market, or even when entering the secret realm, it has never been so afraid of a mid-stage foundation builder with full power. .

Obviously, it is unlikely to be due to cultivation, but... blood?
Therefore, this giant snake has extraordinary blood...

Chu Mu looked at the dozen or so immortal cultivators who were besieging the giant snake. The uniform water-blue robes clearly showed their identities.

East Lake... Xie Family!
The mana fluctuations of the fight are very clear, and the cultivation of the people present is almost clear at a glance.

Every child of the Xie family has completed Qi training, and among them there are even a few immortal cultivators whose body training is obviously good.

Nine immortal cultivators form a formation to entangle with the giant snake. Each of these immortal cultivators is a magical weapon capable of both offense and defense.

Besides the formation, there are three immortal cultivators wandering around, obviously ready to make up for the lack of formation at any time.

On the outside of the formation, there was another immortal cultivator sitting cross-legged, with his eyes slightly closed, a piece of animal skin talisman was already floating in front of him.

Chu Mu is obviously no stranger to animal skin talismans.

Fu Bao, he also has one!
Although the terrifying aura on the talisman is far away, through the peeping of the bamboo dragonfly, one can faintly perceive it.

But that man is still frantically pouring mana into the talisman, and the power of the talisman is still improving, waiting for the moment when it will completely explode.

As for the giant snake, although it was not suitable for the fighting skills of the immortal cultivator at first, the instinct of the monster obviously lies in adapting.

The tyrannical monster body of the second-order monster is almost invincible.

A series of magical attacks only left a shallow white mark on the giant snake's body, and only a few blood marks could be seen from the raging of the top-grade magic weapon, but obviously, it was far, far away from being fatal.

And if the giant snake's body moves at will, it will be Mount Tai pressing down on the top.

The few broken corpses on the ground undoubtedly clearly proved the strength of the giant snake.

Chu Mu could see clearly that if the formation composed of nine people hadn't been stronger and restrained the giant snake in the pool, the group of immortal cultivators from the Xie family might have been wiped out at the beginning of the battle.

The battle situation in the field is undoubtedly very clear.

The immortal cultivators of the Xie family restrained the giant snake with formations, and the talisman was used to store power in the rear. All hope obviously lay in the talisman.

If the talisman can do its best to seriously injure the giant snake, or even kill it in seconds, only the immortal cultivators like the Xie family can survive.

If not...

Chu Mu estimated the distance, and began to wonder in his heart whether he should stay farther away from here, so as not to bring himself into trouble with Chi Yu.

It's a bit mysterious whether such a terrifying second-order monster can escape.

But at this moment, above the pool, a sudden change occurred.

The fangs of the giant snake, which was only relying on its monster body to fight, spit out a mouthful of scarlet venom.

The place where the venom spread was instantly corroded. The original nine-person formation, under this venom, three of the immortal cultivators, including their humans and magic weapons, were completely corroded.

Although the immortal cultivators from the Xie family wandered behind to make up for it in time, the formation that had been stably entangled the giant snake was obviously completely out of control under this sudden change.

The giant snake roared, stretched its body more than [-] meters away, and swept its tail across. The nine immortal cultivators who were struggling, flew backward one after another like nine sandbags.

"cut!"

But at this time, the floating talisman seemed to have finally accumulated enough strength, accompanied by the man's low shout.

A silver giant sword also took shape suddenly, falling from the sky, like the mighty power of heaven, the blade pointed directly at the raging giant snake...
