Celestial being

Although Lei He didn't speak, he looked at the Qinggui straw hat on Yuan Ming's head with surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Senior Zhao Gui knew that my cultivation was insufficient and it was difficult for me to move around in this peach forest, so he gave me this straw hat to provide some protection." Yuan Ming said.

"Why is he so nice to you? There must be some shady deal between you and him!" Yan Xiang said rudely with a jealous look on his face.

Ever since he saw Zhao Gui, he had been furious, but he could not get angry. On the contrary, Yuan Ming seemed to be treated with courtesy, which made him even more furious.

"Senior Yan Xiang is serious, and there is nothing shameful. It's just that in the stone forest before, I had better luck and found a few more blooming golden sunflowers. Senior Zhao Gui said that he would not take advantage of me, so he gave me these things. , it’s like replacing the extra golden sunflowers.” Yuan Ming didn’t care and replied cheerfully.

When Yan Xiang heard this, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he clenched his fists, as if he was about to snatch it away at the next moment.

Lei He saw something was wrong, and when he was about to open his mouth to say something, a sudden change occurred.

Just hearing a "click", the ground under Yan Xiang's feet suddenly cracked, and a blue-black tree root sprouted out quickly, like a spiritual snake, and quickly wrapped around his legs.

Yan Xiang screamed in surprise, but his reaction was extremely fast. A red light flashed through the palm of one hand, and the red sword appeared out of thin air. It turned into a red shadow and swung it down without hesitation, slashing hard on the green and black roots. .

With a muffled sound of "bang", the great sword magic weapon was knocked back, leaving only a shallow mark on the green and black roots.

"How is that possible!" Yan Xiang was shocked. This red sword was an eight-rune magic weapon!

Yuan Ming and Lei He also looked shocked.

Lei He was about to turn back to rescue him, but the next moment his eyes widened, his body froze, and his expression fluctuated for a while.

Yan Xiang let out a scream, and his legs suddenly shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye. At some point, tiny thorns emerged from the black and blue roots, piercing into Yan Xiang's legs.

Not only that, hair-like green and black air roots shot out densely from the roots of the tree, piercing into other areas of Yanxiang's body.

Yanxiang was still struggling wildly, but he couldn't get rid of the roots wrapped around his body. The flesh and blood all over his body began to become dented as if it had been pulled away, and his breath quickly weakened.

Lei He's pupils shrank and he turned around and ran away into the distance without hesitation.

Yuan Ming and Yan Xiang had a bad relationship, so they naturally ran faster.

Boom boom!

Several long dragon-like thick roots emerged from the ground and pounced on Yuan Ming and the others.

Yuan Ming used the ghost escape method and barely escaped the entanglement of the roots.

However, before he could take a breath, countless blue-black tree trunks and vines rushed out from the surrounding ground, intertwined in mid-air, and instantly formed a lush green-black forest, covering Yuan Ming and Lei He's bodies.

Under the shroud of countless towering trees, the originally dazzling and hot environment instantly became dark, and moist moisture even appeared in the air.

The green and black forest looked lush and full of vitality, but all the peach trees within its coverage withered instantly, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of several hundred feet disappeared in an instant, turning into a land of death.

Suddenly, somewhere in the forest, there was a sudden surge of cold air, and all the branches and leaves of the trees in that area were covered with white ice.

"boom"

After a few breaths, a purple gun shadow broke through the ice, revealing Yuan Ming's figure.

Almost at the same time, thousands of thunder lights bloomed in another part of the green and black forest, and a figure wrapped in thunder and lightning shot out, but it was Lei He.

Both Yuan Ming and Lei He were pale and panting at this time.

These green and black trees were so terrifying. The moment they were enveloped by the forest, they felt that the mana, soul power, and energy and blood in their bodies were being sucked away at an incredible speed.

If the two of them hadn't had their own means to deal with it and rushed out with all their strength in time, they would have been sucked in by now.

"Where did the monster come from? We can't deal with it. Let's go!" Lei He said with fear on his face. After taking out a pill and taking it, it turned into a bolt of lightning and shot into the distance.

Yuan Ming lost most of his mana and soul power, with less than 30% left. He quickly took out a lotus seed and drank it. As his mana quickly recovered, lightning flashed under his body, and the figure of Leiyu emerged, carrying him forward and shooting forward. .

A loud "boom" sound came from behind!

A red fire phoenix spread its wings and broke through the green forest, chasing after Yuan Ming and the others. Everything along the way that it encountered the fire phoenix was turned into ashes.

Lei He's speed did not slow down, and he glanced back, surprise flashing across his face.

Yuan Ming glanced at Huo Feng and was also startled.

There was a figure wrapped in this powerful fire phoenix, and it was Yan Xiang.

At this moment, his legs were broken at the knee level, his clothes were messy, and he was in a state of embarrassment, but his eyes were red, as if he wanted to spit fire.

He is holding a red feather fan in his hand, the shape is somewhat similar to the cyan feather fan he had previously. There is a phoenix relief on the handle, and the fan is covered with clusters of golden and red feathers.

The spiritual light on the surface of the red feather fan shines brightly, and a terrifying spiritual pressure bursts out, making Yuan Ming's chest feel tight even from a long distance.

"This fan should be an imitation spiritual treasure. I'm afraid it's not as powerful as my Purple Star Nine Dragon Spear." Yuan Ming was secretly frightened and lamented that these Nascent Soul Stage monks are indeed not simple people.

Immediately afterwards, a roar came from the green forest, and the trees in the sky quickly converged, disappearing in the blink of an eye, replaced by a tall, green-skinned and green-haired strange man.

This weirdo looked similar to Hua Zhi in human form, and he was chasing Yuan Ming and the others with long strides.

The cyan weirdo ran very fast, not inferior to his physical skills at all. A layer of green light flashed on his legs, and he could move dozens of feet out of thin air with every step he took. It seemed to be a wood escape technique, and he quickly approached the three of them.

"Spread out and escape, turn under the giant golden peak!" Lei He shouted, turning into a bolt of lightning and shooting towards the left front.

Yuan Ming hit the thunderstorm almost at the same time, turning into a thunder shadow and sweeping towards the right.

Yanxiang was seriously injured and his reaction was a beat too slow. He secretly cursed the two of them for being treacherous but could only bite the bullet and move on.

The green weirdo didn't seem to be very intelligent, so he subconsciously followed the previous direction and chased Yanxiang.

Yuan Ming sensed this scene, breathed a sigh of relief, controlled the thunderstorm to make a big circle, and then rushed towards the golden peak.

…

After one day and one night.

The majestic peaks are as tall as clouds, covered with golden colors, as if they were made of gold, and like the sun falling from the sky to the world.

At the foot of the mountain, three streams of light flew out from the peach forest not far away. They were Yuan Ming, Lei He and Yan Xiang.

A puff of smoke followed the three of them, and the ground shook, but a dozen cyan weirdos were chasing after them.

Yuan Ming and the other three escaped earlier, but a dozen green weirdos appeared in the peach forest and chased Yuan Ming and Lei He separately, forcing the three of them back together.

With this episode, the conflict between Yan Xiang and Yuan Ming naturally has no time to take into account.

With the speed of the three of them, they arrived at the foot of the giant peak in the blink of an eye. They saw a winding mountain road leading to the peak. Several palaces could be vaguely seen on both sides of the road, arranged unevenly.

"These tree men are still lingering behind, and this is not the way to go." Lei He said in a muffled voice.

"No matter what they are doing, just climb the mountain!" Yan Xiang snorted.

On the way, he didn't know what secret method he used, but his legs recovered unexpectedly. The escaping light showed no intention of stopping at all. He turned directly and flew towards the top of the mountain.

But as soon as Yanxiang crossed the foot of the mountain, before he could fly any higher, he suddenly fell heavily and hit the ground.

In the smoke and dust, Yan Xiang climbed up with a cough, dispersed the smoke and dust, and looked at Lei He and Yuan Ming who fell behind steadily with a look of displeasure on his face.

"Fellow Taoist Yanxiang, you are too impatient. How come there is no no-fly ban in a place like this?" Lei He shook his head and said.

"You have to give it a try. Those tree men are right behind you. How can you outrun them while walking slowly up the mountain?" Yan Xiang snorted and flew upward along the mountain road.

Lei He and Yuan Ming followed closely behind.

Those cyan weirdos also chased after them, but stopped in front of the golden giant peak.

Yuan Ming and the other three were overjoyed when they saw this.

"It seems that the tree man is the test of Taolin, and it stops when it reaches the giant peak." Lei He exhaled lightly and said happily.

Although flying was prohibited on the mountain road, they could not help but escape. The three figures quickly disappeared in front of them.

The cyan weirdo danced and roared, but did not climb the mountain.

Yuan Ming and the other three ran for a long distance, and when they saw that the green weirdo really wasn't chasing after them, their hearts dropped.

However, they did not slow down and climbed with all their strength.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the nearest palace. However, the gate of the palace fell to the side, and the wall next to it was covered with slash marks from swords, as if it had been forcibly broken open.

The three of them hurriedly went in and searched, but as expected, they didn't find any treasures.

"Hmph! Sure enough, someone walked in front of us, and everything was taken away. We have to hurry up, or we won't even be able to drink the soup!" Yan Xiang came out of the palace with an extremely ugly expression.

Then the three of them quickened their pace and encountered several more palaces along the way. However, just like the first one, the doors were forced open and the contents were taken away.

Lei He and Yan Xiang walked more and more hastily, but Yuan Ming was not too anxious. He followed behind the two of them, constantly exploring the surroundings with his consciousness.

Not only the palace, there are also traces of battles on some mountain roads. Obviously, there are dangers on the mountain roads and one should not be careless.

A quarter of an hour later, the three of them arrived near the mountainside, their expressions changed slightly, and the sound of fighting could be heard faintly in front of them.

Lei He and Yan Xiang looked at each other and immediately rushed in the direction of the sound, quickly arriving at a flat area on the mountainside.

I saw a majestic golden hall sitting here. The door was closed and had not been broken open.

In the open space in front of the hall, Gu Xuanyang, the owner of Jin'ao Island, was controlling a golden flying sword magic weapon and fighting with two strange beasts that looked like gold and stone.

Not far from him, Taoist Qianbao held a jade whisk and waved out thousands of white threads, trying to entangle the smaller gold and stone beast on the other end.

These metal and stone beasts are shaped like lions, are over ten feet tall, and are as strong as iron. Gu Xuanyang's flying sword is even more sharp. Almost every sword fall can cut off part of the beast's body.

The two strange beasts that were confronting them were covered in wounds, and one of them had half of its body chopped off, and the other one was also missing a hind leg. There were gold and stone fragments of different sizes scattered on the ground around them.

In comparison, Taoist Qianbao's whisk was unable to have any impact on the metal and stone beasts, and the dancing white threads were occasionally burned by the fire spewed by the beasts.

Taoist Qianbao was only in an invincible position through talismans and other means. He looked quite embarrassed, and his clothes were also scorched black. It was obvious that he was accidentally burned while dodging.
