Chapter 1043 Eternal Rainforest
He knew that the Eternal Rainforest was sultry, but only after experiencing it in person did he realize that it was so sultry here.
The sweltering heat of the eternal rainforest affects not only the body, but also the human heart. Walking in the jungle, the tall grass and trees almost block all the sunlight, and the vision is extremely dark. Even if the sunlight occasionally sneaks through the gaps between the branches and leaves, it cannot bring people warmth. On the contrary, it makes the dark atmosphere here even more eerie and terrifying. .
Every time I take a breath, it feels like I am inhaling hot water instead of air. In the end, Li Chuyi simply closed his breath, and his whole body seemed to be shuttled in a warm water vapor. The air behind him condensed into a white shadow that lingered for a long time. Combined with his ghost-like speed, he looked like he was traveling through time. A ghost in the rainforest.
The clothes on his body were wet and sticky. He tried several times to use his magic power to dry the clothes, but he finally endured it. It's not easy to find the clues, but if you alert the snake and let the duck fly just for the sake of a moment of refreshment, it will be more gain than loss.
Enduring the discomfort, he followed closely Yan Wuxu in front of him. To be honest, he was very lucky now. Fortunately, he brought Yan Wuxu here with him. Otherwise, he would have been lost in such a large forest where he couldn't even see his fingers.
"Are you sure the direction is correct?"
I don't know how many times he asked, but Yan Wuxu was not impatient at all. He turned around and nodded vigorously as always: "Don't worry, it's no problem."
Seeing that Li Chuyi had regained his patience, Yan Wuxu turned around and smiled silently. He didn't blame Li Chuyi for asking so many times. It would be the same for anyone who came to the Eternal Rainforest for the first time.
The Eternal Rainforest is affected by unknown forces. It is almost impossible to identify the direction in the forest. Even powerful people in the ascension stage may get lost if they come in. If you want to come and go freely here, you can only use a specially refined compass.
The compass in Yan Wuxu's hand was specially refined by Taixu Palace, and it contained some of the topography of the western area of the ancient rainforest that Taixu Palace had mastered.
The center of the compass is a transparent ball, with a drop of cinnabar the size of a thumb inside. There are no markings around the ball such as east, west, east, west, and only different symbols arranged in several layers around it. Each layer of symbols can be rotated, and can be rotated to form a specific arrangement and combination according to the holder's mind. Each combination has its own specific meaning, and the cinnabar liquid will also change accordingly. The stretched tip points to That's where the monk wants to go.
From this point of view, it is more appropriate to say that it is a map guide than a compass.
The direction that the compass can guide is limited to the information it stores. If there is no information recorded where the monk wants to go, the cinnabar liquid will always be in the center in a drop shape. The one in Yan Wuxu's hand was something he had received when he was in the silent hall. The information in it was far more detailed than what ordinary disciples had received. In addition, he had come here several times for official business to explore and explore over the years. His compass included everything The area is much larger than the average person, and Wangyue Cliff is one of them.
Speaking of Wangyue Cliff, Li Chuyi really found the right person when he found him. How many people knew about that place?
Wangyue Cliff is located deep in the western part of the Eternal Rain Forest. It is the outermost part of the entire Eternal Rain Forest, but for ordinary people, it is already a place where strangers are not allowed to enter.
Wangyue Cliff originally had no name. It was called so because every full moon night, insects, snakes and animals would go there to look at the moon and worship. Some people say that those ferocious beasts and poisonous insects are swallowing the essence of the moon, while others say that they are just following certain habits in their blood. However, one thing is universally recognized. Wangyue Cliff is definitely the most dangerous place in this area. There is no such thing as a boundary.
These aboriginal people hate outsiders, especially the human race. For them, the night of the full moon is a sacred moment and cannot be disturbed in the slightest. For them, Wangyue Cliff has also become a sacred place.
I came here once before to hunt down a traitor. Yan Wuxu's team and another team accidentally broke into Wangyue Cliff. It happened to be the full moon time again. As a result, except for his Tao Fei stage, there were only two crossings. The calamity period survived, but the other twenty-odd masters in the embryonic and ascension stages, including the traitors, were all torn to pieces by the furious monster. Although the early-ascension elder who led the team also escaped, he was too deeply poisoned and died of the poison before he could survive the Eternal Rainforest. That battle left an indelible impression on Yan Wu Xu.
If he wasn't forced to do so, he really wouldn't want to revisit his old place. But there is no way, Li Chuyi will not take him away if he doesn't help him. Fortunately, it is the beginning of the month, and the moon only shows its eyebrows and feet. There are not too many ferocious beasts entrenched around Wangyue Cliff, so you should be more careful. No problem.
Although Li Chuyi didn't say anything, he guessed why he wanted to go there. Thinking about it carefully, whether it was intentional or coincidental, it was indeed an excellent hiding place.
As long as you are careful not to provoke the vicious beasts that cannot be provoked, hiding there will undoubtedly be extremely safe. The ferocious beasts wandering around are a natural barrier. As long as they are not fools, no one dares to make a big move there. It is extremely difficult to find someone to come out.
He told Li Chuyi these words, but Li Chuyi didn't care, so he could only follow them.
But he had already made up his mind. If Li Chuyi really caused something, he would have to drag Li Chuyi out even if he made the other party angry.
This ancestor couldn't die. He had already boarded his pirate ship. If he died, even if he got out alive, he wouldn't be able to escape Mo Tang's pursuit. Even if he defected to Dayan, it would be useless. He was born in Motang and he knew very well the capabilities of the eyes and ears of Taixu Palace. Compared with the Supervision Department of Dayan, Motang was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. .
As we go deeper and deeper, the sounds of insects and beasts roaring around us become more and more frequent. Yan Wuxu slowed down and was alert to the surroundings as he quietly landed next to Li Chuyi.
"You must be careful on the next road. Don't fall to the ground, and don't touch the surrounding trees and vegetation. The most important thing is that if you encounter danger, don't think about flying up and out of the forest. That way You will die faster! In short, don’t touch anything, suppress your energy to the lowest level, and treat yourself as a dead person!”
After looking at Yan Wuxu, Li Chuyi said nothing and nodded silently.
He was not as familiar with the road here as Yan Wuxu, but he only knew a lot more about the situation in the Eternal Rainforest.
Above the Eternal Rainforest is a dead land, which is ten thousand times more dangerous than the jungle below. There are not only the outer restrictions of the Forbidden Formation, but also because of the influence of the Forbidden Formation, it is filled with countless space cracks. If one is accidentally involved in it, the whole person will be sucked into the void and drift. It would be a disaster if any of the parts got caught in it, and if the body was not dismembered on the spot, it would end up being a mutilated body.
He also knew that at the very end of Jiuxiaoyun, there was not like other places in the human world that were filled with winds and thunders that could not be matched by human power. Instead, they were filled with space-time faults that were far more terrifying than the winds and thunders. They were only as terrifying as It is slightly inferior to the time and space storm encountered in the Holy Land of the Dragon Clan. Once involved, even if one does not die, one will be lost forever in the endless time and space maze.
It is said that the space-time fault there is not used to deal with the people and immortals in the three realms, but is used by the founder to resist the unknown terror that destroys the thirty-sixth level of the outer true world. Li Chuyi didn't know if his ancestor's worries were unfounded, but he knew his own weight, and it was better to keep such things as far away as possible.
Concentrating all his energy, Li Chuyi followed Yan Wuxu cautiously. He did not dare to stretch out his hands to block the branches and leaves that blocked his path. Instead, he carefully circled around to avoid them.
Yan Wuxu was not an alarmist, every hair on his body was telling him about the danger here. God knows if these lifeless tree branches could be the tentacles of the old tree demon. The old tree demon in Sansheng Forest is still fresh in his memory. It is better for him to hide away from the difficulties of the wood spirit clan.
"careful!"
Suddenly, Diemeng sent a warning message.
Li Chuyi quickly grabbed Yan Wuxu, and the two of them turned to look at Diemeng on his shoulder.
Diemeng did not speak, her cold little face was full of solemnity, and she raised her chin and gestured to a dead tree in front of her. Li Chuyi moved his eyes and looked carefully for a long time, and suddenly felt a cold sweat in his heart.
Just now I was talking about the old Sophora Demon, but in the blink of an eye I met a similar one.
The dead tree in front of him seemed to be intact at first glance, but upon closer inspection, the looming demonic energy pulsating on the tree revealed its true face to him.
The most terrifying thing is that Li Chuyi can't see its cultivation level. He could only vaguely see the clues of the demonic aura with the Yin and Yang Taoist eyes, but he could not tell the details of the old demon tree at all. Even its species was hidden due to its extremely decayed appearance.
"It seems to be a dead soul tree. It specializes in swallowing the ghosts of rotten things. It is not interested in living things and life, so it didn't attack us." After a long time, Diemeng said.
"Dead Soul Tree?!"
Li Chuyi's eyes suddenly widened. He had only seen the door panel of the ten-thousand-year-old dead soul wood once in Wuyang Cemetery. He didn't expect to see a living one here today.
Diemeng knew what he was thinking by looking at his expression, and she immediately looked at him speechless.
"I advise you not to think about it blindly. Even if you don't attract other ferocious beasts, you can't deal with the Dead Soul Tree itself. Its bark is so tough that only a master in the ascension stage can break it. Your Yazhen Sword can hurt Even if you get its skin, you can't move its bones. And if you think about the death energy in your body, once it detects it, you will never be able to leave alive!"
Swallowing hard, Li Chuyi spoke up and defended: "What are you talking about? I'm such a greedy person! Isn't it just a dead soul tree? It can't touch my heart! When I want it later, I will go to the Wuyang Tomb again and remove the door panel of Wuyang Old Monster. There is no need to work hard here! Sister Diemeng, it is not good for you. Do you think you are looking down on me? "
That's what he said, but one of his eyes was stuck to the dead soul wood and he couldn't pull it off. Diemeng rolled her eyes at him speechlessly, turned away and ignored him.
After staring fiercely for a while, Li Chuyi turned around and left in pain. After much deliberation, he didn't dare to walk under the tree, so he pulled Yan Wuxu around in a big circle to avoid it.
After continuing to move forward for an unknown amount of time, Li Chuyi suddenly felt something in his heart. He took out the jade slip and sensed it before pulling Yan Wuxu up and heading in one direction quickly.
After a while, the trees gradually thinned out, and more sunlight fell through the gaps, dispersing the surrounding darkness and making people's hearts warmer.
Right in front, two figures, one large and one small, suddenly appeared. Upon closer inspection, they were Li Sinian and Xiao Erhei. One person and one dog squatted on a branch as thick as three people hugging each other. After seeing Li Chuyi appear, Both waved their hands.
"Why are you here!"
