After entering the world of cultivating immortals, I have been living and sleeping

Chapter 236 Hope or Despair (-in-)

There are more than one Ziwei swamp, and Ye Pianran is less than a hundred miles away from the nearest swamp.

And within the sensing range of Heng Tianque, another breath appeared. The difference was that this breath was moving at a high speed, so fast that she looked surprised.

"Who is this person? Judging from his trajectory, he should have the same goal as mine. That's fine. This will undoubtedly give me more confidence."

Having said that, Ye Pianran actually had some guesses in his mind.

In dangerous places like dense forests and swamps, few people would rush at full speed. However, with some restraint, they could reach such an astonishing speed. The identity of the person coming was already obvious.

One of the three contemporary Tianlinggens of Tianheng Sect, Fenglinggen, Pei Shixing.

Each spiritual root attribute has its own advantages. As one of the mutant attributes, the most prominent advantage of the wind attribute is speed. Just like the metallic and thunder attributes are the strongest in attack, they are both undisputed.

When other conditions are equal, Fenglinggen monks can travel much faster than ordinary people, and as far as Ye Pianran knows, Pei Shixing's cultivation has reached the late stage of foundation building. Such speed is not surprising.

While thinking, a strange and eerie purple thick fog appeared in the field of vision. Where the fog was shrouded, the visibility did not exceed a radius of five feet, and the spiritual perception was also limited, only about one-fifth of normal conditions.

Swish!
Ye Pianran fell on the branches of a towering tree. He looked at the thick fog extending for an unknown distance in front of him, his face darkening.

"It really is the Purple Monster Swamp. Now we are in trouble. Fortunately, their location is not too deep, only more than thirty miles away. But it's hard to say. I can only hope that they haven't entered the core area yet."

In dense forest and swamp areas, if the danger level of the rainforest area is one, then the danger level of the swamp area is five.

Not only is there the threat of monsters in the Purple Mith Swamp, but the mist itself is highly poisonous. It is similar to the water in the Bone-Eating Black Sea, and with the addition of a weakened perception, it is even more difficult to move forward.

The towering trees in the rainforest area have the effect of absorbing purple mist, so the closer to the edge of the swamp, the lower the fog concentration, and the less restricted it is.

On the contrary, when the giant tree disappears completely, it means that you have entered the core area of ​​the Ziwei Swamp and officially arrived in the swamp area. Although the water in the swamp is non-toxic, its gravity is twice that of the outside world. Once you step into it, it will be difficult to escape. , Nine times out of ten, there is no return. After all, it is not that there are no indigenous people in the swamp.

To be honest, if she is alone, Ye Pianran is not afraid of the Purple Mith Swamp, and even plans to go in to hunt for treasures, because she has the fire of the earth spring, which is a great advantage. It is said that there is basically no big threat, and the danger level has dropped sharply.

But the situation is different now. The three fellow disciples are obviously in danger in the swamp. She went in to save people. In this case, the burden will inevitably increase greatly.

But she couldn't just turn around and leave, and forget about the others. She wouldn't save her fellow sects, which was inconsistent with her Taoist heart. Furthermore, since she came, she had to do what she was capable of. It's best if she is guilty, otherwise there is no need for her to come.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Pianran jumped out from the branches and landed when he was about to touch the purple mist. A thin layer of orange flames ignited on the surface of his body.

Protected by the fire of the earth spring, she stepped into the purple mist. Suddenly, a sense of discomfort filled her whole body. This was a negative reaction caused by the reduced range of perception. It was like a person with excellent eyesight suddenly became blind. Likewise, it is difficult to adapt in a short period of time.

Of course, Ye Pianran will not become blind. In fact, because her six senses are extraordinary and her spiritual consciousness is as strong as a top-level foundation-building perfection such as Wen Renyue, even if she is restricted, it is not too exaggerated. She has a radius of two miles. It can still be sensed within the range, which is comparable to that of a mid-stage foundation-building monk under normal conditions.

"Fortunately, the speed of spiritual power is not limited, so it shouldn't have much impact on my combat power."

After a brief period of discomfort, Ye Pianran quickly adjusted, but she slowed down her speed again. Saving people was saving people, and she could not become impatient and reckless. Otherwise, not only would she not be able to achieve her goal, but she might get herself involved, and the gain would outweigh the loss.

……

The core area of ​​Ziwei Swamp.

Looking around, all that is visible is the dense, purple and red mist, and the blurry tree shadows are looming in the thick fog, far apart from each other.

Under one of the towering trees, there were three young figures gathered together, with their backs to each other, observing the surroundings vigilantly. Each of them looked pale, and cold sweat continued to flow from their foreheads. They were obviously nervous and exhausted.

"It's almost, it's almost, hold on, two of our colleagues are already rushing towards us. As long as we hold on, we will be able to wait for rescue and get out alive."

A tall and handsome male cultivator expressed relief. He was in the best condition among the three. Apart from his slightly weak breath, there were no external injuries on his body. The other two people all had obvious injuries, but the wounds After processing, the smell of blood is almost negligible.

"I want to hold on, but we have almost used up all the treasures that can be used to isolate the mist, and there are not many pills left to restore spiritual power. If we continue like this, we will die before we can be rescued. It’s here.”

Another slightly shorter male cultivator showed bitterness on his face. His injuries were relatively minor. His arms were only slightly bruised while fighting the monster, but this affected his combat power to some extent. If he could not be healed for a long time, he would Gradually worsening, from minor injuries to major injuries.

"Gu Cheng, Wu Di, you are all in better condition than me. Why don't you leave me and go on your own? One of you will survive if you can, otherwise we will all die here."

The last man's face was gray, obviously due to excessive bleeding. There was a huge claw shadow on his back. The wound was deep enough to show the bones, and the skin and flesh were turned out. It was extremely ferocious, almost piercing through his entire body. In addition, his legs There was also a terrifying scar, which seemed to be caused by the same monster.

The three of them are all inner disciples of the Tianheng Sect. They are in the late stage of foundation building. Their strength is between the middle of the pack. They have but not many means of saving their lives. After meeting in the dense forest and swamp, they began to travel together and form a team to explore.

The first few days went very smoothly, hunting monsters and beasts, collecting medicinal herbs, and occasionally encountering one or two natural treasures. There were no dangers along the way, and the harvest was distributed according to work. We got along very harmoniously.

Just when they thought their good luck would continue like this, they were suddenly attacked by jagged vines.

Sawtooth vines are ubiquitous in the rainforest. No one knows where these vines come from. They only know that these vines have beast-like mouthparts with spiral-shaped sharp teeth inside. One puff and you'll be fucked instantly.

In fact, their team was not three people at the beginning, but five people. One of them died at the hands of these vines. The death was shocking. From a living person to a piece of human skin, no matter how good his psychological quality was, Also be scared out of your wits.

The vines are extremely difficult to tangle. Although the skin is not particularly hard, it still requires a certain amount of strength to cut off. The consumption of physical strength cannot be ignored. Moreover, there are so many vines that they appear in endless succession. It will not take long for them to be cut off. Trapped inside.

The four surviving people joined forces to fight their way out of the encirclement at the cost of self-exploding a magic weapon.

But it was not over yet. A large number of vines were chasing them. What was even more frightening was that before they could get rid of the pursuers behind them, there were vines blocking the way in front of them. After several attempts, they came to the edge of the purple swamp. . It’s not that the four of them didn’t know how terrifying the Ziwei Swamp was, but for them at that time, there was no way they could enter the Ziwei Swamp, because there might be a way to survive if they entered, but they could stay where they were once they were surrounded by vines again. That is ten deaths and no life.

In desperation, they entered the purple swamp. The vast purple mist did block the pursuit of the vines. Several vines pursued them relentlessly. Within a few moments, they were corroded by the poisonous mist into fly ash and turned into nutrients. The mist in that area was obviously A little richer.

As disciples of the Tianheng Sect, the four of them were not as fully armed as their direct disciples, but they were somewhat protected by treasures, so they did not encounter much danger at the beginning.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and the four of them had just experienced a highly stressful life-and-death chase, so their nerves would inevitably relax. This was very fatal in the Purple Otter Swamp where spiritual perception was limited.

The crisis hidden in the dark began to emerge. The first wave of monster attacks directly resulted in one person being seriously injured and two people being slightly injured. The second wave was even more terrible. It was a kind of gecko monster with incredible speed. The seriously injured person did not hold on for long and died on the spot. The remaining three people's injuries worsened and they could only detonate the magic weapon again to save their lives.

At this point, the treasures on the three of them have been consumed a lot. Fortunately, a fellow disciple finally discovered their traces and came to rescue them, but they didn't know if it was too late.

"Li Yan, don't say such depressing words. If you lose your belief in living, then no one can really save you. Let me see where they go first... No, everyone, be careful!"

Halfway through Gu Cheng's words, he caught a glimpse of red from the corner of his eye. Because the other party was too fast, he couldn't see clearly what it was. While trying his best to defend himself, he reminded loudly.

Wu Di's injuries were relatively minor. He did not dare to neglect after hearing this and quickly strengthened his defense. However, Li Yan beside him was not so lucky. Li Yan was already holding his breath, and his reaction speed was greatly reduced. He was suddenly hit by the red The object pierced through the abdomen and went deep into the mist involuntarily.

"Li Yan!"

The two of them were shocked. At this moment, they were finally able to see the true identity of the red object. It turned out to be a tongue with a tail similar to a suction cup, which firmly restrained Li Yan's body. The latter was like a dead fish, motionless. , the vitality in the body disappears rapidly.

This place is close to the core area of ​​Ziwei Swamp. The fog concentration is at least three times that of the edge area. The suppression of spiritual consciousness is even more severe. Gu Cheng and the others can only perceive a radius of more than a hundred feet, so they did not notice that they were so far away. The actual swamp is less than two miles.

In other words, the monster with the red tongue sticking out was a monster living in the swamp. Li Yan, who was dragged through the abdomen by the tongue, was cut off and died within a few moments. As for his body, it was brought into the thick In the stuck swamp, he disappeared instantly.

All this happened so fast. Before Gu Cheng and the two could react, the tongue had already taken Li Yan and disappeared into the thick fog.

"No! Wu Di, let's go rescue Li Yan!"

Gu Cheng's eyes were tearing up, and he was about to rush over regardless.

"Gu Cheng, calm down. Didn't you see that Li Yan showed no signs of struggle? I'm afraid he was already dead the moment he was hit by the tongue. We'd better leave directly while the monster digests Li Yan's body. It’s time to leave, maybe there’s still a chance of survival.”

Wu Di grabbed him and stopped him from dying.

Nowadays, death is inevitable. No one wants to see their companions who have fought side by side die in front of their eyes, but what can be done? The person is dead, and the only thing the living people can do is Seize the last chance and try to survive.

"Damn it!"

Gu Cheng naturally understands this truth, he is just unwilling to give in. Seeing that reinforcements are about to arrive, at this moment another monster comes out to attack. This huge gap from hope to despair can really defeat a person in an instant.

Fortunately, the monk's mentality was not so fragile. After taking a few deep breaths, Gu Cheng turned around with red eyes and almost said a few words through his teeth.

"let's go!"

With the life-and-death crisis hanging over their hearts, Gu Cheng and Gu Cheng naturally had no thoughts of caution at this time and ran as fast as they could, only regretting that they didn't have two more legs.

However, they had gone through several battles in turn and did not get enough rest. They were already at the end of their strength, and their speed dropped instead of increasing. How could they compare to the swamp monsters fighting at home.

The tongue as red as blood soon caught up with them. This time the two of them had experience. As long as their spiritual consciousness caught a touch of red, they would instantly open their defenses to the maximum. In this way, they would not be like Li Yan. He was shot through the abdomen and had no strength to fight back.

Bang!
The extremely long tongue came first and hit the slightly slower Wu Di in the lower back. Sure enough, it did not pierce him instantly, but knocked him away hard. The powerful reaction force made him faster and farther away. It zoomed out a lot.

Compared to human cultivators, the spiritual intelligence of monster beasts is still lacking. Only monster beasts that can transform have wisdom comparable to human cultivators.

The tongue failed in one blow, and it immediately targeted Gu Cheng next to him, and changed it into a tangle. Like a bright red ribbon, it instantly tied up Gu Cheng and shot it back in the direction it came from.

"No!"

Of course Gu Cheng knew what he was about to face and let out a shrill scream.

"Gu Cheng!"

Wu Di in front of him paused, with a look of struggle on his face. He didn't know what he should do now. Rationally, he should abandon Gu Cheng immediately and escape by himself, but emotionally, he couldn't face Gu Cheng to death. No rescue. After all, Gu Cheng is not Li Yan. He will not be defeated in one blow. At least there is still room for rescue.

Just when Wu Di was hesitating, suddenly, a stunning flash of lightning flashed in the thick fog and passed by him. Because the speed was so fast, it even had the effect of tearing through the fog. In the purple sky, A long and thin trail was drawn out of the fog.

"This is……"

Wu Di's eyes widened and he couldn't believe what he saw.

"Protect yourself and leave the rest to me."

The moment the lightning passed by, a female voice as clear as a wind chime sounded in my mind, like the sound of nature.

Wu Di was shocked at first, then dull, and finally became ecstatic.

"It's rescue. We've been waiting for it. We've really been waiting for it!"
