she asked.
Then Li Re measured his body and said, "It's close."
The pothole in front of the green fire like Lin Sencold reflected into Cheng Shiyu's line of sight instantly following Li Re's sideways movement. She couldn't help but stare blankly at the scene that emerged in the space in front of her. It is enough to accommodate a dozen people walking side by side. The soil on the edge of the underground space has countless pale "bud"-like things drilled out and covered densely. It looks like a tentacled chamber of some weird creature, which is terrifying. And disgusting.
This is obviously 'pretty bud',
But it doesn't look like the one that just fell on the ground.
It's more like where it connects with the roots that extend down from it.
here is...
"The real source of the 'savage species' on the ground!"
Li Re replied casually.
"The real source of the barbarian species on the ground... Wait, the source of the barbarian species?" Cheng Shiyu suddenly realized the huge information contained in Li Re's words!And in this case, Li Re seems to have said it before!
"It seems that you already know what I want to say, Miss Jianxian." Li Re grinned and said, "I should have told you——"
"Although I'm new here and I'm not familiar with this world——according to what you said, these 'monsters' that came from the cracks leading to the abyss under the edge of the northern border of the Central World used to only exist in the real borderlands, and this place is obviously not a borderland. If it happened only once, it could be a coincidence, but if it happened the second time, it would be hard to call it an accident, let alone—under the barbarian tree we met earlier, there is a deep invisible gap!"
"So the guess you told me earlier that the two savage bone trees are connected and that there is a common underground source under their roots is true, and it is right in front of our eyes?"
Little Jianxian blinked his eyes and instantly understood Li Re's guess!
Confused again: "But does this have anything to do with our purpose of coming down?"
"Of course!" Li Re pointed to the pothole in front of him and said, "To be more precise, I used the talisman paper drawn by your elder teacher to sink them into the ground. That is, I want to see if I can find such a 'source'!"
"I even guess that the reason why your uncle was controlled by the 'barbarian' and why he appeared in the border town is also related to this."
"What do you think?"
what do i think
I think what you say makes sense.
Xiao Jianxian was about to say this, but found that Li Re was not looking at himself when he said this, but looking at... behind him! ?
Cheng Shiyu turned her head suddenly!
Surrounded by crackling green flames, a figure stood at the other end of the 'underground tunnel' they had just walked through.
The figure had an ancient and clumsy face, and the robe was hanging down, the opened eyes were pitch black, and there were no eyeballs, and he was holding an extremely special, no-front iron sword.
It was the 'Real Gu Jian' who was sunk into the ground by Li Re!
Xiao Jianxian was startled and subconsciously retreated to Li Nuan's side—but Li Nuan walked up and passed her by!
Cheng Shiyu was taken aback again.
Then, the figure standing over there exhaled lightly.
The ancient and clumsy face brings an extremely human expression...
"You guessed right."
A deep and heavy voice spit out from the mouth of the law enforcement elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect who should have been controlled by the barbarian through the barbarian.
It was only then that Xiao Jianxian remembered that real Gu Jian was briefly 'buried' in the loess by Li Re using the power contained in the talisman paper.
Temporarily cut off contact with the barbarians.
Under this premise, it is only natural for him, who still has a weak vitality and self-awareness in his body, to recover his self-control ability!
But Cheng Shiyu hasn't spoken yet.
Then I heard myself, the elder of the teacher's sect, look at her and say: "It seems that you have found a good helper—Nephew Cheng."
"Being able to rationally use the power that emanates from me after being controlled by the barbarian species, in turn allows me to temporarily get rid of the control...Although I am a ghost cultivator, I am very quick-witted! In this way, I can finally tell you something with my dying body." Although Master Gu Jian was controlled just now, he still has consciousness and knows what happened outside—otherwise, he wouldn't have told the little sword fairy to kill them when he approached!
Li Re, who was walking in front, paused and waved his hands: "Let's not talk about the praise, let's talk about the business!"
"Yes, the business is important!" Xiao Jianxian also hurried forward and stood side by side with Li Re again: "Uncle Gu Jian, what is going on? How did the barbarian species invade this land boundary? And there are still two in succession... How can you be eroded by the barbarian buds and controlled by the barbarian species? What's going on at the master gate!?"
The girl said a lot like pouring beans.
It seems that Cheng Shiyu is still very concerned about the situation of 'Tianjianzong'!Walking all the way ahead, I don't seem so worried just because I know that showing worry will only increase worry and have no effect!
Master Gu Jian was about to speak when he heard the words—but seeing his frown, the little sword fairy shrank his head subconsciously and knew that this person didn't want to answer his own question, but wanted to reprimand himself for paying attention to laws and etiquette.
It was like this when I was in 'Sky Sword Sect'!
But Li Re suddenly said first: "Because of killing and robbery, right?"
Little Sword Fairy looked at Li Re and paused slightly.
Master Gu Jian also looked at Li Re with a slight expression on his face - but Li Re grinned and talked eloquently: "One of the functions of robbery is to obscure the perception and make people lose their usual vigilance in it - and in this In such an environment, the savage species, which are already good at parasitizing and eroding, are better at being invisible."
"But I think this is just one of them... Shiyu, do you remember what you said when we first arrived?"
Cheng Shiyu tilted her head.
what did i say?
"You said—when you left the central world, the calamity hadn't reached the level it is now—you are obviously a little surprised by this situation, but you can clearly perceive yourself when you are in another world The arrival of the Sha Jie——Your Sha Jie originated from this world, and your power is closely related to this world, even if you leave this world, so there shouldn’t be such a big gap between you and the world’s Sha Jie! "
"In other words..."
"The massacre suddenly intensified shortly before we arrived!"
Cheng Shiyu's eyes widened and she understood completely.
Master Gu Jian also breathed out in a low voice and said, "You are very smart—smarter than I imagined, and you are right, this time the murder has indeed intensified suddenly—it shouldn't have come so fast and so fiercely!"
"However, the catastrophe came suddenly—it brought a momentary turmoil in the mountain and sea center—the 'barbaric bone tree' invaded and defeated the border army from the country, and spread to the center at a very fast speed—and at this time, as one of the two elders of the strongest sect 'Sky Sword Sect' stationed in the northern border, you resolutely shouldered the responsibility of eradicating the monster invasion—" Li Re said.
"Is that why he was controlled by the parasite?" Cheng Shiyu murmured, and was a little puzzled: "However, the uncle is a master who is close to becoming a fairy, and he has so many disciples of the Magic Sword Sect. The barbarians should not have the ability to parasitize them!"
At this time, the real Gu Jian 'looked' at her again.
Li Re also said: "It's true - I guess, they are just careless!"
"They eradicated every savage in sight."
"However, because of the catastrophe, the perception was disrupted, causing them to be attacked and successfully parasitized!"
He eradicated all the barbarians he could see, but he was still attacked?
Chewing these words, a flash of inspiration flashed in the little sword fairy's mind, her eyes moved slightly and she turned around to look behind her—looking at the barbaric spurs growing in the underground pits leading to deeper layers!
"That's right, that's them."
Li Re affirmed Xiao Jianxian's thoughts and said: "They were attacked by this 'savage species' who had been hiding in the ground earlier!"
"It is precisely because of the successful sneak attack that the border town above us fell, and so many barbarians grew wantonly in this territory—" Li Re said.
After such words fell, the sound of crackling and crackling of the spiritual fire followed.
But the underground space fell into a moment of silence.
Li Re and Cheng Shiyu stared fixedly at the "Real Master Gu Jian" in front of them—although Li Re's words were well-founded, in the final analysis it was still a guess, and whether the guess was right depends on the response of the person in front of him—
"It's my fault too."
at last.
Master Gu Jian once again affirmed Li Re's conjecture.
However, he was only half sure.
He said: "But it's not because I was careless - in fact, I was careful enough!"
"I was careful and vigilant about everything around me. Even though I completely wiped out the barbarians on the ground, I never let up. However, we still lost. It has nothing to do with carelessness, but because at that time, what we faced was It is the entire 'Northern Territory'!"
All of...the Northlands! ?
"good."
Faced with Li Re's shrinking pupils, Master Gu Jian narrowed his black eye sockets without eyeballs. His voice was serious and harsh, as if recalling the previous events: "When I went down the mountain, the surface of the northern border seemed to be sporadic. The bone tree grows, but in fact, the soil has long been occupied by the 'savage species'—"
"The bony spur buds in front of you are not connected to two simple bony trees, but the entire northern border, and there are countless wild species!"
"'Barbarian species' has already been secretly spreading underground when the catastrophe spread, forming a net."
"By the time the bone tree grows and sprouts, it's already too late!"
In other words.
It's not a coincidence that Li Re and Xiao Jianxian met "Brute Species" one after another when they landed.
As long as it lands in the north where the 'Sky Sword Sect' is located,
No matter where they go, they will encounter barbarians.
No matter which direction it goes, this is the inevitable result.
Because this piece of soil has long been parasitized by monsters.
For the North is dead.
Be reduced to a 'vicious place' for thousands of miles!
Chapter 222 Selection
The nearly [-]-meter underground tunnel and the deep potholes fell into silence again, and the whole world seemed to be left with only the crackling and crackling sound of the dark green spiritual fire echoing continuously. At this moment, after listening to the "Ancient Sword Not only was Xiao Jianxian stunned for a moment, but even Li Re was a bit surprised at the words of the "real person"—he thought that the situation was much more serious than he thought, and the "barbarian species" who occupied the entire northern ground, To some extent it is indeed 'invincible'!
Such a situation is more or less similar to the 'giant king' that Li Re encountered in the copy of 'Dark World Continuing After the First Fire'!
However, the 'King of Giants' occupies the entire sky and cannot be touched.
'Barbarian' is not necessarily the case.
only...
Li Re glanced at his side, the uncertain expression that appeared on Cheng Shiyu's delicate face under the light of the fire, he slightly restrained the excitement that was slightly raised in his heart and did not show it.
Although a little 'fun' attribute,
But Li Re thinks he is quite 'gentle'.
It's not that he completely disregards the feelings of the people around him - he has a lot of affection for the little sword fairy who has always been unrestrained, lively and cute.
So Li Re, who had clearly distinguished the situation, turned his eyes to the eyes again, and looked at the ancient and slender middle-aged figure of the "Gu Jian Zhenren" who paused a little after he finished speaking.
Only this time, this person didn't 'look' at him either.
Instead, he 'looked' at the little sword fairy.
Obviously there is no eyeball, but there seems to be a glimmer of light in the eye socket.
He said in an 'aggressive' manner: "I think you should have already guessed it—Nephew Cheng."
Guessed...of course, guessed!
Cheng Shiyu looked at his pupils tightly locked, and that face that had been quite chic and optimistic before seemed to think of something, showing an obvious expression of disbelief and panic.
"The land in the north is headed by Tianshan Mountain."
"Nowadays, the Northern Land has fallen, and the Tianshan Mountains are naturally inevitable—these days, although I have been parasitized by the barbarian buds and controlled by this monster 'barbaric species', my consciousness is hidden in this body that has not yet cut off its vitality. , still have a sense of the outside world.”
"So I saw it with my own eyes..." Master Gu Jian pointed to his dark eye sockets and said:
"I saw that Tianshan fell under the siege of countless barbarians and barbarians, and saw that many disciples stationed in Tianshan were also parasitized by barbarians, and even saw your master."
"Right now, you are the only 'surviving' disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect!"
'Gu Jian Daoist' spoke solemnly and coldly about the situation of Little Sword Immortal in this dungeon world at the moment—telling the current situation of the sect that she regards as her second hometown!
Don't hide it, let alone give it the slightest reaction time!
Cheng Shiyu opened his mouth.
Her face paled a little. When she discovered that the 'Gu Jian Daoist' was in the city, she had thought that something might have happened to the sect, but she never thought that such a thing would happen—— In her opinion, as the No. 1 clan sect in the north of the Central Realm, even if there is an accident, even if it is in the "killing robbery", the Tianjianzong will not be seriously injured. Her master, as the "No. ', let alone accidents!
However, it turned out that what happened here was beyond her expectation!
"Although you have found a good helper, this kind of thing is beyond what you can solve—the most correct choice for you now is to leave the northern border, go south, and go to the 'Central Plains' land!"
In the end, Master Gu Jian said again: "There are many capable people in the 'Central Plains'. Such a big change happened in the North, and they should have made enough responses..."
"Coping is indeed coping, but I'm afraid they won't be able to go either!"
It was at this time.
