mysterious forerunner

Chapter 323 Invisible Enemy
Zhang Qingxiang's [Sniffing the Sky] continuously captures all kinds of information from this place. It goes all the way back seven days.

It gets blurry the further you go.

But Chen Shenghe and the others came in yesterday, so the whole picture is very clear.

This secret spirit was killed by Chen Shenghe, and he used this harmonica.

In addition to meeting the professional attributes of Chen Shenghe [Musician], the harmonica also has another characteristic: devouring vitality.

The ancient vine sucked up the small animals in the mountain forest, but he never expected that he would die due to the same skill.

After killing Gu Teng, Chen Shenghe seemed to be forced by some powerful strangeness, and he quickly escaped before he even had time to take back the secret object.

Next, in the "picture" provided by [Sniffing the Sky], although there were no weird figures in this forest, the entire forest suddenly fell uniformly in one direction - as if it was suddenly run over by something. Pass.

After about half a second, this "invisible giant" completely passed, and the trees and weeds returned to normal.

Zhang Qingxiang frowned: What?
On a small tree behind me, the three little bugs on the back of the leaves were still following me.

Zhang Qingxiang stepped in front of He Xu and Guan Xuanbai, and happened to see a ferocious head the size of a bucket sticking out of the dirt on the hillside on one side of the path!

This thing was pitch black and covered with strange scales, like pieces of obsidian, reflecting the faint light.

There are a large number of torn tents and canopies scattered here, and several thick trees were directly broken by the powerful force. Aluminum tables, gas stoves, folding chairs, etc. are scattered all over the ground. It looks like a typhoon passing through. .

This weird thing looks strange and powerful at first glance, but it seems that it has no power to fight back when facing the enemy.

He Xu guessed: "This thing is also a secret spirit? But the master here is a plant secret spirit. How can there be such a secret animal spirit?"

An unknown entity cut off its body - it may not be accurate to say that it was cut off, but from the point of view of the fracture, it looked more like it was torn off directly.

Guan Xuanbai closed the gourd lid and said in confusion: "After the mysterious scene fades, these weird corpses, if they are not [rewards], should disappear together with the mysterious scene."

Zhang Qingxiang reminded the two of them: "Something is wrong, be careful!"

The three of them all wanted to see what this monster looked like.

The three of them walked into the camp cautiously. Zhang Qingxiang could "see" the situation within seven days. Chen Shenghe and the others came in yesterday, and supposedly they could clearly see their traces in the camp.

Zhang Qing, on the contrary, had no suitable means - everyone knew that when dealing with such unknown and weird corpses, try not to touch them with your hands.

But Chen Shenghe and the others do not have this ability, and the plant-type secret spirit has no brain at all.

Three steel wires wrapped around this weird half, and after holding it up high and showing it in front of the three people, Zhang Qingxiang said: "Put it away. This is a very good secret material. If you have the means, you can create a powerful secret material." ”

He Xu had just taken a few steps when he shrank back with a whoosh: "What is this?!"

Guan Xuanbai looked at it carefully for a while and said with some uncertainty: "Is this thing... a strange snake?"

But when he got here, Zhang Qingxiang found that his [Sniffing Sky] had been seriously interfered with, and the messages sent back were chaotic.

Zhang Qingxiang continued to walk forward along the path until he was four or five miles away. The interference caused by the strange thing disappeared, and Zhang Qingxiang received the message from Chen Shenghe and the others again.

The body behind the head is also as thick as a bucket, with large obsidian-like scales falling off, making it look extremely miserable.

The basketball-sized bump should be a brain wave generator, and the large thorns behind it are like antenna-like amplifiers.

Two fist-sized dark yellow eyes protrude from the sockets like light bulbs. There is a weird bulge the size of a basketball on his forehead.

The monster was motionless, as if someone had inserted it into the hillside. It had been dead for an unknown amount of time. The light of life had long since disappeared from those dark yellow eyes, but they still held a bit of cruelty and ferocity.

Behind this protrusion are densely packed bony spines.

"It shouldn't be..." Zhang Qingxiang muttered to himself secretly. If this happens, it means there is someone nearby with powerful "brain wave" ability!

"Keep chasing." Zhang Qingxiang said and continued to chase Chen Shenghe and the others yesterday.

Or a corresponding professional.

Guan Xuanbai took out a small gourd. He didn't know what year it was. The surface was red and shiny, like a piece of soapstone.

He Xu was a little impatient and always rushed to the front.

These messages made Zhang Qingxiang worried: two of the three people had been seriously injured!
Chen Shenghe held the two of them in one hand and fled in embarrassment.

He walked around the campsite and found nothing, so he went straight to a path diagonally behind the campsite.

Zhang Qingxiang said: "Get this thing out."

Zhang Qingxiang understood: this weird thing has strong brain wave ability, and it is it that interferes with his [Smell the Sky].

The three steel wires were closed and the weird half-body was put into the gourd.

The interference was even stronger than when Guan Xuanbai and He Xu activated [Sniffing the Sky] together.

Although it is dead, as long as this thing exists, it can destroy all kinds of information remaining in the space.

He pulled off the cover of the gourd, and three "steel wires" quickly grew out of it!
It wrapped around the ferocious head and slowly pulled it outward.

This was a promotional "gimmick" for the campground and the trail was an "adventure route."

But the three of them were still disappointed, because after being pulled out, only half of the monster's body was left.

Soon they entered the actual campsite.

The two are from the capital and should be able to find corresponding professionals.

Not far from the trail is a small hillside, which can no longer be seen from the campsite after going around it.

Zhang Qingxiang thought of the three bugs behind him: "I'm afraid Beijiang Bureau made a mistake in their judgment of this place from the beginning."

She looked back from time to time, or looked around in panic, as if some powerful enemy was chasing them.

He Xu noticed the subtle change in Zhang Qingxiang's expression and asked quickly: "What did you find?"

Zhang Qingxiang thought for a while and then told the truth.

He Huo was even more anxious, passed Zhang Qingxiang and stepped forward quickly, stepping into a fallen leaf. The leaves suddenly flew up with a clatter, like a group of butterflies flying away, but these butterflies were extremely vicious. The veins of the leaves split into two narrow, scarlet eyes!

They huffed and puffed around He Dou, and no one knew what kind of force was aroused. He Dou's whole body was stiff and his eyes were dull.

Then the legs began to wither, and a green leaf vein clearly appeared on the exposed skin!

Guan Xuanbai's expression changed, and he quickly grabbed his back with his right hand.

A sword box appeared there, and with a rattling sound, a sword popped out and fell right into his hand.

He was as fast as lightning and struck those "leaves" with a sword.

"Old He!" As he took action, [Thunder Sound] bloomed on the tip of his tongue, trying to awaken He Xu.

[Leiyin] From Guan Xuanbai's mouth, clear pale white sound waves burst out, spreading out in circles, but when they reached the range of those leaves, they were disintegrated by an invisible force and could not be transmitted at all.

Guan Xuanbai's sword followed closely, just a smidge slower than the sound.

Chi chi chi——

The sword pierced a leaf, and countless leaves were superimposed behind it.

The sword has pierced more than twenty leaves. This weird defense is very ordinary and cannot stop the sword at all.

But Guan Xuanbai became weird. The green veins spread along the sword and soon covered the hand holding the sword. They continued to spread upwards and soon appeared on Guan Xuanbai's neck and face.

Guan Xuanbai's eyes became dull like He Xu, and the sword in his hand also stopped.

Zhang Qingxiang raised his hand, and the "Jian of Life and Death" rose high. The black and white colors were swept down, and the leaves were quickly judged to be dead, turning from green to withered yellow, and falling down with a clatter.

But at the moment they landed, a large part of them changed from withered yellow to emerald green, and flew up again. They abandoned He He and Guan Xuanbai, and ferociously rushed toward Zhang Qing.

"Rejuvenation of dead wood?"

This is the ability of the mysterious spirit of the plant system. Zhang Qingxiang focused his eyes and stared at the leaves. More and more leaves turned from withered yellow back to green, and then flew up again: "But this is the eighth-level weird ability. Have the ability!”

Is there an eighth-level weirdness in this campsite? !
Judging from various information provided by the Beijiang Bureau, the secret spirit here should be sixth level, or at most seventh level.

Why is it wrapped by those butterfly-like leaves?

The leaves were flying wildly, and a strange dark green wind seemed to be wrapped around the body! What's even weirder is that there are blood-red electric lights flashing in these strange winds.

The leaf veins on Guan Xuanbai's body also appeared again, occupying most of his face and almost spreading to his right eye.

Zhang Qingxiang snorted coldly: "What can the eighth level do!"

[The Book of Life and Death] rises high, this time the black and white colors are more condensed, rich and viscous like oil paint.

Sweeping down, countless leaves fell down.

This time it not only went from birth to death, from emerald green to withered yellow, but also directly from withered yellow to decay, turning into "spring mud".

Zhang Qingxiang was extremely domineering: "Show me your rejuvenation again!"

In the blink of an eye, the tornado and the blades disappeared.

But the really tricky part has just begun: those leaf veins on He Xu and Guan Xuanbai have not faded.

This is an invasion of weird power. It has been integrated with their bodies and undergone certain transformations. It is very difficult to remove them.

Zhang Qingxiang frowned, controlling the black and white colors, entering from the two fingers, annihilating these powers bit by bit.

If Zhang Qingxiang was still in the [Mortal Transformation Realm], even at the ninth level, he would not be able to control the power of the [Life and Death Mirror] to such a meticulous level.

It took Zhang Qingxiang a full twenty minutes to eliminate all the strange power in the two people's bodies.

The two of them "burped" almost at the same time, spitting out a trace of green mist.

"What the hell is this!" He Xu yelled, extremely frightened.

He has been promoted to the sixth level, and he has been following Zhang Qingxiang recently. He is invincible when facing strange things, and he really "disdains" the enemy. This experience was a wake-up call for him: When facing mystery, you must always maintain enough awe.

Zhang Qingxiang laughed mischievously and glanced at the two of them: "Even though you usually dislike each other, something really happened to you. Xiaoguan was the first one to draw his sword and kill him desperately..."

The two of them interrupted him sharply: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Zhang Qingxiang shrugged his shoulders, "Okay, I won't say anything anymore, let's continue the pursuit."

But Zhang Qingxiang took three steps forward, froze in place, and then sighed: "One of Chen Shenghe's teammates died here."

A message came from [Sniffing Sky]: Chen Shenghe escaped here with two seriously injured teammates. The blades suddenly attacked and one teammate was caught off guard and trapped by the blades.

Chen Shenghe wanted to rescue him, but his teammates knew they would die and there were powerful pursuers behind them.

He gathered all his strength and wrapped around all the leaves, shouting loudly for Chen Shenghe to go first.

Chen Shenghe left in tears.

Those leaves completely turned the agent into a plant, which greatly increased his strength, doubled the size of the group, and expanded the "territory" area.

Zhang Qingxiang brushed the ground with his hand, and dozens of centimeters of soil were wiped away, revealing a huge human-shaped tuber under the ground.

Thick and long roots are spread all over, transporting nutrients to those leaves through the air.

It is precisely because of its existence that those leaves have the power to "rejuvenate dead wood".

Zhang Qingxiang killed those leaves and all their root systems at the same time.

The agent has already died and has become a strange part of the blade. Even if he knew in advance, he could not be saved.

Under this ground, there are also buried a large number of tubers transformed by wild beasts.

All died at the same time.

The masseter muscles on He Xu's cheeks bulged, but he still walked forward silently.

He was feeling worse and worse. These strange things were too powerful. Chen Sheng was afraid that he couldn't cope with them.

Zhang Qingxiang is even more curious: What is the powerful mystery that is chasing Chen Sheng and others?
Why didn't Xiang Kong reveal its secrets among all the information it collected?
Is it because it is too powerful, or does it have the ability to become invisible?
Seven or eight miles deeper into the mountain, he suddenly stopped.

Zhang Qingxiang and Guan Xuanbai followed. In front of them was a dry river, scattered with some calf-sized boulders. A pipa was smashed on one of the stones.

Zhang Qingxiang guessed: "Is it Chen Shenghe's secret?"

"It's her main secret!"

The main secret objects were all broken into pieces, and Chen Shenghe's fate... was indeed not optimistic.

Zhang Qingxiang took a step forward and used [Sniffing the Sky] to grab information from the void - but found nothing!
Zhang Qingxiang lost his voice and said: "How could this happen?!"

In this void, all messages appear as: empty!

No matter what happened before, no "trace" was left.

This is different from the weird snake brainwave interference before, where information can be collected by throwing it, but the information is confused due to the strong interference.

But there was nothing in front of him. The void was like a crime scene that had just been cleaned, leaving nothing behind.

Zhang Qingxiang stopped He Xu who couldn't help but come forward: "This place is not very good, you should also try using [Sniffing the Sky]."

Zhang Qingxiang stopped using his secret technique. He Xu and Guan Xuanbai tried it each, and were stunned: "Something has cleaned this place!"

Zhang Qingxiang nodded: "Follow me, be careful, there may be traps."

But Zhang Qingxiang walked all the way to the broken pipa, put away the secret object and inspected it carefully. There was no abnormality from beginning to end!
"This pipa was shattered by a power of level eight or above."

He Xu was getting more and more anxious, but he was also very sensible and knew that at times like this, he could not rush forward any more. He felt very depressed and uncomfortable.

Zhang Qingxiang carefully recalled all the weird things he had encountered and all the information he had collected during the time he entered the campground, and he had a guess in his mind.

"Let's go, keep chasing. This blockade is so big, where else can they hide?"

Zhang Qingxiang strode forward and walked out of the boulder valley without encountering any attacks.

When we left the valley, we saw a huge pine tree growing on the opposite side of the mountainside.

The sun shines from the east and is partially blocked by nearby mountain peaks. The upper half of the mountain, where the pine trees are located, is bathed in sunlight, while the lower half is shrouded in shadow.

The pine tree is right on the dividing line between yin and yang on the mountain.

It seemed to "hear" the footsteps of the three people, and was awakened. It shook its body and opened its eyes.

Its eyes are located in the lower part of the tree trunk, about the height of a person.

They are clearly a pair of human eyes, but they are filled with the coldness, ruthlessness, bloodthirsty, and cruelty of a carnivorous beast!
Then the second pair of eyes opened slightly above the tree trunk, followed by the third pair, the fourth pair, the fifth pair...

In an instant, the whole tree was filled with eyes from top to bottom!

Those swollen eyes did not know what kind of energy they released. They could not see or feel anything at all, but they made He Xu and Guan Xuanbai feel dizzy. They were obviously powerful sixth-level professionals, but they were as weak as patients with severe anemia. They were top-heavy and plopped. Fell to the ground.

Zhang Qingxiang also sensed that there was some kind of special mysterious power that was constantly invading his brain.

But Zhang Qingxiang is too strong. This pine tree is only of the eighth level and cannot shake Zhang Qingxiang.

Zhang Qingxiang took out [Eavesdropping] and used it on the pine tree. The first time he got nothing, the second time, the third time...

Fortunately, Zhang Qingxiang was very powerful and was able to use this secret object many times in a row.

Finally, on the fifth time, this secret object eavesdropped on a vague thought.

This thought just confirmed Zhang Qingxiang's previous guess.

Zhang Qingxiang strode forward unceremoniously. The eyes of the pine tree kept blinking, and every time the dizzying power exploded.

Zhang Qingxiang was not affected at all.

Guan Xuanbai and He Xu, who were lying on the ground, suffered a disaster, holding their heads in pain and curling up, vomiting constantly.

Zhang Qingxiang had already rushed twenty meters in front of the pine tree. All the eyes of the pine tree stared angrily, and countless pine needles shot towards Zhang Qingxiang with a popping sound.

The [Emperor's Half Face] battle armor appeared on Zhang Qingxiang's body. The penetrating power of these pine needles was comparable to the armor-piercing bullets of a tank. They hit Zhang Qingxiang's body densely, but they were all bounced away.

The pine trees now looked strange: all the branches were bare and covered with eyes.

These eyes watched as Zhang Qingxiang rushed over, pulled out the roots from the ground with a bang, turned into a huge tree man, and waved branches to hit Zhang Qingxiang.

Zhang Qingxiang slapped him.

The pine tree fell to the ground with a crash.

Zhang Qingxiang rushed forward and stepped on it, raised his hand and released [Invisible Softness], turned into a water snake, and tied it up tightly.

Then Zhang Qingxiang threw the [Steam Engine Core], and the secret object rumbled into a truck. Two rows of thick exhaust pipes extended out from both sides of the front of the truck, which was more than ten meters high, and black smoke was blowing out. cigarette.

Zhang Qingxiang threw the pine tree into the back of the cart, then turned back and picked up Guan Xuanbai and He Xu: "How is it?"

The two of them were covered in their own vomit, and Zhang Qingxiang distanced themselves in disgust.

Without the strange suppression of the pine tree, the two of them recovered quickly, but their condition was still very poor, their faces were pale, and sweat was flowing down their cheeks.

"I'll clean it up." The two said.

They all had secret items similar to Zhang Qingxiang's [Void Storage Compartment]. They found clean clothes, put them on, and wiped their faces: "It's okay."

When I saw the bare pine trees, I became very angry. I have never been so embarrassed since I debuted.

He jumped onto the truck and kicked the pine tree several times.

The pine tree is of the eighth level and is unscathed, so why does it hurt my feet?

"Why don't you just kill this thing?" He Xu volunteered: "This thing must be afraid of fire. I have a secret object that may be able to burn it to death!"

Zhang Qingxiang waved his hand: "I can still use it if I keep it."

Zhang Qingxiang thought, the door of the giant steam truck opened, and Zhang Qingxiang jumped on: "Everyone, come up."

After the three people got up, the truck started moving over the mountains and ridges at extremely fast speeds.

After climbing over the pine tree, a huge gap suddenly opened in the ground. The steam truck fell into it with a roar and was half stuck.

Under the crack, countless roots emerged, quickly tying up the steam truck.

The steam truck then transformed, and eight huge circular saws protruded from the body. They cut off the roots with a roar, and rushed out of the crack with a roar.

Those roots also chased out. The steam truck accelerated violently, but a giant vine net fell from the sky, and the truck crashed into it.

The circular saw was swung on the truck, but the vines were as tough as hair and even entangled the circular saw.

He Xu got out of the carriage and held up a "torch" in his hand.

This was the secret thing he was talking about.

boom!
The torch ignited with blazing flames. He He gritted his teeth and smashed the torch towards the vines.

But a human face appeared on the vines, shouting: "Brother!"

He Xu's whole body was shocked and he quickly took back the torch.

The human face condensed on the vines is none other than Chen Shenghe!

Zhang Qingxiang sat in the truck and watched coldly, while several powerful secret spirits quietly emerged from the ground and surrounded the truck.

Zhang Qingxiang sneered in his heart: Can't you hide it? It's finally coming out!
