Chapter 38 Team Assassination
To Chi Jue's words, Shi Ming had a heart, but he didn't show it, he just smiled.
"The one you killed was Moxiu." Shi Ming said.
"I don't think it's any different from killing a chicken." After hesitating, Chi Jue said.
"Really? Subconsciously, you don't see him as a human being." The vague words are just to cover up.
Chi Jue: "..."
Lowering his head and taking a look, Chi Jue stopped thinking about it and was relieved.
The end of evildoers must be a bad death. Both the white ghost and the monsters he raised were contaminated with human life, so it is only natural to send them back to the west.
He dug a big pit in the yard, buried the monster's body in it, took a handful of hair from Moxiu's body, and buried him in the pit right away.
Holding the hair that represented his identity, Chi Jue went to the commissioner of the task, let him see it, and told him that he had completed the commission.
The client was overjoyed after seeing it, he had already paid him, but he still took out the money and forced it to Chi Jue.
It was getting late at this time, Chi Jue rejected the client's wish to stay, found a restaurant in the city, and stayed.
After the feasting and feasting, the night was quiet, and Chi Jue spent a quiet night.
The next day, Chi decided not to stay any longer, and Yu Jian went straight back to Yun Yinzong.
When passing by the village outside the city, Chi Jue looked down from the clouds, and the scattered houses stood like black dots.
In the night to come, these villages will be peaceful, Chi Jue thought.
Shuttle among the clouds, the wind howling, carrying the mission scroll in his arms, Chi Jue landed on Yunyin Peak.
"Look at me making money...to make a living." I wanted to say earning money to support my family, but Chi Jue changed his mind after weighing the few silver taels.
Buying pills, materials, and exercises always feels that using them is faster than earning them, Chi Jue thought, raising a family or something, this is a long-term solution, take your time.
Moxiu's hair was mixed in the quest scroll. When returning the quest, the elder probed it with spiritual power, and immediately took back the quest scroll.
There was an exclamation not far away, and Chi Jue walked over and found that a new task scroll had been posted.
Many disciples of the golden core stage gathered around there, and they leaned over to take a look. The reward really moved Chi Xinxin.
Kill Li Lin, a Tier 500 Demon Cultivator, [-] taels.
Generally, there are more tasks to kill monsters, but the rewards will be correspondingly less.
After all, Moxiu is a human being, he can think and calculate, and he was killed instead of killing the other party. This kind of thing has happened several times, so the assassination mission, even if the money is more than two, the immortal cultivator will secretly figure it out.
The name of this demon cultivator was exactly the same as that of Li Lin from Piaomiao Peak, and Chi Jue grinned unconsciously.
"It actually has the same name and surname as mine. I accepted this mission." Li Lin's quiet voice came, and with his footsteps, he stepped forward and took off the mission scroll.
The real master is here too, Chi Jue turned his head and stared at him.
"I didn't expect you, brother, to have broken through to the golden core stage." From the tone of his voice, it sounded like a certain brother from Piaomiao Peak.
"Yes, but I just broke through, and I haven't done the mission of the golden core period yet. I came here to pick one up and test my own strength. I didn't expect to see this mission as soon as I came here." Li Lin said with a smile.
"For a reward of 500 taels, at least three people are needed for this task, and he is a Tier [-] Demon Cultivator, so his strength should not be underestimated." The senior also smiled and said, "Are you sure, Junior?"
"You have to be sure, if you are free, brother, can you do this task together?" Li Lin invited.
"That's exactly what I mean," said the brother.
"That's one person short." Li Lin looked around and said, "I don't know who else is willing to go with you?"
Seeing the eager expressions of the cultivators around him, Chi Jue hurriedly said, "I'm coming!"
Li Lin's eyes fixed on Chi Jue, and he said in a full-fledged manner, "Okay, then there are three of us."
After receiving the quest scroll, he went to find the elder, but Chi Jue was in a difficult situation when he reported his name.
He hesitated to say the name, which immediately attracted Li Lin's surprised gaze.
"Are you Brother Chi Jue?" Li Lin asked suspiciously.
"I have difficulties." Chi Jue laughed and said, "I'll tell you later."
With a clear mind, Li Lin laughed and said, "If you have Chi Jue to help out, it is much more reliable than those who don't know."
Li Lin introduced Chi Jue and his senior brother to each other, and because of his seniority and seniority, Chi Jue also called that man his senior brother.
After discussing with each other, the three decided to make some preparations on their own and set off together the next day.
According to the quest scroll, Li Lin, the demon cultivator, was originally a low-key person. Because he became obsessed with practicing secret arts, his demonic nature was rampant, and he killed many innocent people indiscriminately.
"There are also people who have gone mad in Daoism. It is impossible to kill innocent people by mistake. Maybe there is such a mission in the Demon Realm, let Moxiu come to assassinate us." Chi Jue thought about it, and felt that the possibility of this idea existed. very big.
"I don't know what kind of secret technique he is practicing, you should be careful." Ten Lives said.
A smile escaped, but Chi Jue didn't care much, and said, "There are three of us. Although he has a higher realm than us, with one against three, he must be unable to fly."
"Ah."
After pondering for a while, Shi Ming felt that this trip would not be as smooth as last time.
With the silver, Chi Jue went to buy some dry food and took it with him in case he was hungry before.
"I don't know where the storage ring is for sale. If I see it, I must buy one." Chi Jue murmured, it is really inconvenient to keep everything on his body.
"Isn't it for you?"
"What?" Chi Jue didn't understand.
"earring."
Chi Jue touched his ears subconsciously, and the earrings he took out from the forbidden area were hanging in his hair.
"Can it store things?"
Surprise was followed by surprise, and with a thought, the dry food really disappeared from his body.
After patting his head, Chi Jue was a little annoyed.
Being able to store such intangible things as cultivation bases is not a problem, so why didn't I realize it before.
It can place objects, but it cannot accommodate living or living things, so the bed cannot be placed in it.
Fortunately, there is a star map.
In the early morning of the second day, the three of them met up and left the sect together.
This time, the destination was farther away. As usual, he went to find the task entrusting person first, but he traveled for a few days on the way there.
The wind whipped up the Yi Jue, causing the person to fall backwards. Chi Jue stabilized his body and stepped on the sword, his black hair still flying.
"Chi Jue, your cultivation speed can be described as fast. You were below my realm before, but now you have broken through to the Golden Core Stage one step ahead of me." Li Lin's voice was brought over by the wind.
"Isn't breakthrough all about chance? I'm just lucky." Chi Jue opened his mouth and felt the wind blowing in.
"The future must be limitless." Li Lin sighed, and then seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "This mission is an assassination, Chi Jue, is this your first mission to kill a demon cultivator?"
"It's the second time, but it's the first time to form a team." When the mouth opened and closed, the wind kept pouring in, and Chi Jue spoke more concisely.
"The second time?" Li Lin was in a daze for a moment, then smiled and said, "So you are really the direct disciple of Immortal Venerable Wuwang."
"It seems that you are full of confidence, junior brother." The senior brother was also quite surprised, and interrupted.
I don't understand what these two people are talking about. What does assassination have to do with direct disciples?
After rationalizing the wording, Chi Jue opened his mouth to ask, then swallowed the previous words, and asked in a different way: "What's the matter, only the direct disciples know?"
"Elite Pavilion." Li Lin's expression was full of yearning, and he said: "The disciples of Jindan stage who have completed a single assassination or a team assassination are all qualified to enter the Elite Pavilion. Killing a demon is different from killing a demon. Disciples who kill monsters and can enter the Elite Pavilion have a superior status in the sect. However, the Immortal Venerable will only tell his own disciples, and ordinary named disciples, unless they hit by mistake, they will not be able to pass this threshold .”
The Elite Pavilion sounds so awesome that Chi Jue couldn't help but be moved.
"When will the selection of the Elite Pavilion be held?" Chi Jue asked subconsciously.
"After three months."
Three months later, Chi Jue made some calculations in his heart.
In my memory, Qin Yuhan also stepped into the golden core stage not long ago, and she will be released from confinement in three months, and she will definitely participate in the selection of the elite pavilion at that time.
Chi was determined not to meet her, but some things would happen sooner or later.
Just as Chi Jue was about to say something, Li Lin said "Here we are", and immediately the blade turned and pointed straight down.
The mist filled the air, the miasma was overwhelming, and the place where it fell was actually in the dark forest.
The client is the leader of a nearby tribe. The place is so remote that no one comes here all year round.
It is isolated from the world, and its development is naturally slow. There are no cities and no villages, and there are solitary tribes for thousands of miles.
The village lives by farming, and the tribe lives by hunting.
Ben lived a peaceful life, but who knew that the appearance of the demon cultivator Li Lin broke the tranquility. He appeared from time to time, and every time he appeared, he took away a large number of children.
Those children never came back.
All the tribes are in panic all day long, telling the adults of each family to take care of their children and not allow them to go out, not only that, even the adults are also worried when they go hunting.
One day, an immortal cultivator who had been training around the mainland happened to pass by, and the leader of the tribe raised all the silver taels and asked the immortal cultivator to kill Moxiu.
The immortal cultivator was no match for Moxiu alone, but he got the realm of Moxiu and a little bit of his situation, so he came to Yun Yinzong, one of the two sects in the world of cultivating immortals, and issued this task.
When I went to see the leader, the leader was so grateful that he bent his knees in front of him, and knelt down for Chi Jue and the three of them.
Glancing up, Chi Jue saw a timid gaze from the curtain behind him, and knew that it was a frightened child. Thinking of the other children who had been taken away, he couldn't bear it, so he immediately comforted the leader.
The leader led Chi Jue and the others to the place where Moxiu had been haunted. Chi Jue screened himself and did not feel the presence of Moxiu.
The three of them exchanged glances with each other, and decided to look for each other separately, sense the location of Moxiu, and then tell the rest to kill him together.
Chi Jue had ten lives by his side, so he didn't need to search so hard, but he could only pretend and act separately.
Moxiu, who has become obsessed, is no longer a normal person. He has lost his mind and is more terrifying than monsters. He can do anything.
Shi Ming pointed in a direction, saying that Moxiu was over there.
Chi Jue thought about it and decided to go over and have a look.He didn't intend to confront the demon face-to-face, he just went to investigate the reality.
In the dense forest, there are unfamiliar plants everywhere, lush and luxuriant, covering the sky and the sun.
Stepping on the accumulated fallen leaves, pushing aside the low hanging branches that blocked the road, Chi Jue's eyes locked on a plant not far ahead.
It was a tree, which looked ordinary at first glance, with its branches extending and hanging down, but Chi Jue's heart skipped a beat.
A creepy feeling spread in my heart.
"The sense of oppression from that tree is so strong." Chi Jue guessed that it was not ordinary.
A bird squeaked and passed by, and just landed on the tree.
The tree seemed to have sensed a living thing, and the low-hanging branches seemed to be alive, and they moved flexibly. The branches rolled up, quietly, and gathered silently from all directions, and surrounded the birds.
The bird was chirping, unaware of the approaching danger, and was singing happily, but suddenly let out a scream in vain, and was rolled up by the branches.
It gets tighter and tighter, as if trying to melt the bird into the branch.
The tree secreted a viscous fluid that seeped from its branches and stained the feathers of the birds, enveloping it entirely.
"Is this... eating it?"
Goosebumps stood up, looking at the scene in front of him, Chi determined to feel a little fear.
Cannibal tree?
Like a wolf, the bird was quickly corroded by the liquid and disappeared, as if it had never existed.
The branches trembled and hung down again, as if waiting for the next prey to arrive.
The sense of oppression has decreased a little, but the fear in my heart has become more and more intense.
That tree was too hungry, that's why the sense of oppression was so strong just now. Chi Jue raised his eyes and looked around. In the dense forest, this kind of tree cannot be the only one.
Chi Jue suddenly regretted coming into this forest, he felt that it was really a dangerous place.
"There are all kinds of things in the world. I've heard of this plant that can eat animals, but I've seen it for the first time." Shi Ming laughed softly.
His feet seemed to be stuck, Chi Jue couldn't move his feet, and his eyes kept moving among the trees.
"Are you afraid?" Shi Ming said, still smiling.
"Of course I'm afraid." Chi Jue didn't deny it.
There is no need to worry about safety if you have true energy and cultivation, but the shock and impact of the picture just now are too strong.
"I heard that the liquid it secretes is very useful." Ten Lives was thoughtful.
"So what if it's useful? Could it be that you use a living thing to eat it and take the opportunity to get the liquid. I'm afraid that if it gets angry, it will wrap me up." Fighting plants, it's a bit ridiculous to say it, but Chi is determined In fact, there is no certainty.
Thinking of the sticky liquid, Chi Jue shivered unconsciously.
"Then leave it alone."
Shi Ming's voice was full of joy, and Chi Jue knew that whenever he went to a place he hadn't been to, under a novel environment, he was always in a good mood.
Requests made to people in a good mood are generally granted.
The feet seemed to be nailed in place, and they couldn't be pulled out at all. Chi Jue felt a trace of coldness climb up his back, and his voice became uncontrollably weaker: "I want to leave here, but I can't walk..."
The end of Chi Jue's words dragged a bit, and he expressed his mood tactfully.
With Yi Jue raised, Ten Lives appeared in front of him.
"Follow me." Said the sentence with drooping eyes, turned around and walked.
The drooping branches and tendrils on both sides avoided one after another, giving him a seemingly empty path.
Although it wasn't what he thought in his mind, but with Shi Ming leading the way, he felt strength surge from the soles of his feet in vain, Chi Jue took a light step, and trotted after him.
After a few steps to catch up, Chi Jue's eyes were locked on the back of the person in front of him, with a smile on his lips, and he didn't notice a huge rhizome entrenched on the ground between the peelings.
"oops!"
With his feet stretched out, Chi Jue tripped over the tree root and fell forward uncontrollably.
When Chi Jue fell, Shi Ming turned his head and subconsciously wanted to reach out to support him, but he passed through him.
Frowning, Shi Ming watched Chi Jue fall to the ground.
The whole person was face down, lying on the ground, and fell into the mud, Chi Jue was extremely embarrassed.
Holding onto the old tree that tripped him, Chi Jue climbed up.
Feeling something strange in his mouth, Chi was determined to shudder.
Fuck, I really ate mud!This makes me how to behave in the future!
Don't stop me, let me shit!
"Bah bah" twice, spit out the dirt that he ate, and an embarrassing blush appeared on Chi Jue's face.
The atmosphere was a little stagnant, and as he patted off the plaster on his body, Chi Jue said in embarrassment: "This is an accident."
The embarrassing scene was seen by the person he likes, and Chi decided to feel extremely embarrassed.
Staring at him, Shi Ming smiled and said, "You need to take a shower."
Chi Jue went down the steps and said, "Of course."
I squeezed my ankle, feeling a little pain.Moved a bit, but fortunately it didn't twist.
Moving his gaze to his ankle, Shi Ming said, "Pay attention to your feet when walking, don't always stare at me."
Chi Jue curled his lips and said, "That's because you rarely show up."
"I don't want to show myself in front of others." Shi Ming was stunned for a moment, and then said soothingly, "You can watch it for as long as you want in the future."
"Really? I will work hard to cultivate so that that day will come sooner." Yang laughed, and Chi Jue felt the awkward atmosphere dissipate.
Still leaning against the tree, Chi Jue wanted to take a rest and stand up when his feet got better.
Rubbing his feet and spreading his hands, Chi Jue's eyes stopped on the few grooves in the palm of his hand.
Staring at the thin lines intertwined in his palms, Chi Jue raised his eyes and said, "Ten Ming, you stretch out your right hand."
"What?" With the doubtful words, Shi Ming spread his right hand in the eyes of the other party.
The slender fingers are slightly curved upwards, with full, white and slender finger pads.
After scrutinizing it in his hand for a long while, Chi decided to be astonished.
Unlike the clear and clear ones in the palm of my hand, the lines in the palm of Ten Lives are entangled and intertwined, like a mess.
"Do you know how to read?" Shi Ming said softly, "You have to read your left hand."
"Same." Chi Jue whispered, he didn't understand how such beautiful palm prints were so intricate.
Carefully identify the deeper line of affection among a pile of thin lines, which is very long and extends from the edge of the palm to the point between the index finger and the thumb.
Seeing how long the relationship line was, Chi Jue was relieved and smiled unconsciously.
"See what?" Ten Ming asked, raising his eyes.
"I don't understand either, but such a long strip must mean that we can last for a long time."
Seeing the complicated palms at first, Chi Jue was worried for a while, for fear that he would see a short line of emotion, which would break off after a short stretch.
"You mean the love line?" Shi Ming glanced down and said, "The longer the life line, the better."
"It's all the same." With a smile on his face, Chi Jue patted his ashes and stood up.
When I looked up, I saw the same tree as the one that ate the bird before.
His foot staggered and he almost fell again.
Fortunately, Chi Jue held him in time to avoid another fall.
"Get out of here." His tone trembled, Chi never wanted to stay here again.
Raising his true energy, it covered his whole body with a thin layer, and he was on guard, Chi Jue followed Shi Ming through the dense forest.
Along the way, he saw a lot of trees eating living things, and Chi Jue subconsciously stayed away from them.
The dense forest was full of miasma, and the intertwined branches of the trees completely blocked the scorching sun above the head. In the hot weather, Chi Jue felt a bit of coolness here.
The sound of footsteps on the fallen leaves drove away many wild beasts living in the forest. Along the way, there was no surprise attack by unknown creatures.
The further you go, the thicker the miasma becomes.
"This miasma, couldn't it be made by Demon Cultivator Li Lin?" Chi Jue murmured in a low voice.
Bewitching, and arresting many children, they must be doing shameful things. It stands to reason that the miasma may really be caused by the devil. Chi Jue thought about it, and he was firm in this idea.
But after walking for so long, he didn't feel the breath of the demon cultivator.
"Is he still far away?" Chi Jue asked with his voice raised a little.
The figure in front did not stop at all, but the voice came over: "Hurry up."
After walking forward again for a while, the sun was mottled and fell on the ground, pulling out yellow beams of light.
After finally passing through the dense forest, looking back, Chi Jue breathed a sigh of relief.
The scorching sun was hot, but the scorching heat of the scorching sun did not reach here.
What appeared in front of us was a wide lake, the dark green color indicated its depth, the water surface was calm and waveless, and a thick miasma shrouded it, spreading outward continuously.
"The source of the miasma is this lake?" Chi Jue frowned.
Seeing the water at first glance, Chi Jue was filled with joy, thinking that he could take a bath, but the green lake water, which was as deep as black, dispelled his idea.
"The magic cultivator is at the bottom of the lake, do you want to go down and have a look?" Shi Ming turned around, with light flowing in his eyes.
Chi Jue looked at the lake, inspected it intently, and then shook his head hastily.
Standing by the lake, he couldn't feel the breath of the demon cultivator, so he didn't know how deep the lake was.
"I'll call Li Lin and the others over first." Chi Jue said in a deep voice.
The thought was sent out, and Li Lin and his senior brother rushed here quickly.
"A steady stream of miasma comes from here." Li Lin's expression became serious, he pinched his chin with two fingers and rubbed it a little, and said: "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. I think Moxiu might hide it. At the bottom of this lake."
"But I don't know how deep this lake is. If I go down rashly, I'm afraid..." A look of worry appeared on the brother's face.
"I'll go down and have a look first, and I'll come up within a stick of incense." Seeing his brother's worried expression, Li Lin smiled reassuringly, and said, "Don't worry, I have the ability to save my life."
Since he said so, Chi Jue and his senior brother also acquiesced.
Li Lin sighed and jumped into the lake.
A stick of incense time passed, but Li Lin didn't come up.
An hour passed, and Li Lin hadn't come up yet.
The surface of the lake was as calm as before, without any waves.
I kept calling with my mind, but I couldn't get half a reply.
The senior brother was dripping with cold sweat, and Chi Jue couldn't sit still.
"I knew that I should have asked the leader about the situation of the lake first, so it was really inappropriate to act so hastily." The brother couldn't help shaking his head, with regret in his voice: "I should have insisted and held him back."
"I don't believe this lake has always been like this." Chi Jue pursed his lips and said, "The people of the tribe are just ordinary people, and they shouldn't be able to see the miasma covering the lake."
"But at least I can know how deep the lake is." The brother sighed and said, "Li Lin is too confident."
After pondering for a moment, Chi Jue said, "I'll go down and have a look."
"Don't go down." The senior brother stopped him and stopped him.
"If you don't go down, you can't do it. Moxiu is below, and sooner or later you have to go down." Chi Jue smiled and said, "I also have the ability to save my life."
"Moxiu will show up to catch the children of the tribe every once in a while. Let's not be impatient and wait for him to come out." The brother insisted: "Li Lin has not come up for so long, I feel very disturbed. Then Moxiu It’s a fifth-level demon cultivator, you and I are only at the golden core stage, and it’s useless to go down, not to mention the miasma here is so dense, it can be regarded as his lair, so we’ll wait.”
"Don't wait." Chi Jue shook his head and said, "Li Lin said he has the ability to save his life. He must have been trapped below if he hasn't come up for so long. will be even worse.”
Tong Chijue looked at each other for a moment, the senior brother nodded, and said: "Every incense stick, you have to use your thoughts to inform me about your situation. If there is no news from you for two hours, I will return to Yunyinzong immediately, Report this matter to Master."
"Okay." Chi Jue returned him with a reassuring expression, put on a smile, turned around and walked towards the source of the miasma.
The author has something to say: This is the first time I write such a fat chapter (⊙_⊙) It seems that XXX is just around the corner hahaha [smiles like an idiot]
"The one you killed was Moxiu." Shi Ming said.
"I don't think it's any different from killing a chicken." After hesitating, Chi Jue said.
"Really? Subconsciously, you don't see him as a human being." The vague words are just to cover up.
Chi Jue: "..."
Lowering his head and taking a look, Chi Jue stopped thinking about it and was relieved.
The end of evildoers must be a bad death. Both the white ghost and the monsters he raised were contaminated with human life, so it is only natural to send them back to the west.
He dug a big pit in the yard, buried the monster's body in it, took a handful of hair from Moxiu's body, and buried him in the pit right away.
Holding the hair that represented his identity, Chi Jue went to the commissioner of the task, let him see it, and told him that he had completed the commission.
The client was overjoyed after seeing it, he had already paid him, but he still took out the money and forced it to Chi Jue.
It was getting late at this time, Chi Jue rejected the client's wish to stay, found a restaurant in the city, and stayed.
After the feasting and feasting, the night was quiet, and Chi Jue spent a quiet night.

When passing by the village outside the city, Chi Jue looked down from the clouds, and the scattered houses stood like black dots.
In the night to come, these villages will be peaceful, Chi Jue thought.
Shuttle among the clouds, the wind howling, carrying the mission scroll in his arms, Chi Jue landed on Yunyin Peak.
"Look at me making money...to make a living." I wanted to say earning money to support my family, but Chi Jue changed his mind after weighing the few silver taels.
Buying pills, materials, and exercises always feels that using them is faster than earning them, Chi Jue thought, raising a family or something, this is a long-term solution, take your time.
Moxiu's hair was mixed in the quest scroll. When returning the quest, the elder probed it with spiritual power, and immediately took back the quest scroll.

"I didn't expect you, brother, to have broken through to the golden core stage." From the tone of his voice, it sounded like a certain brother from Piaomiao Peak.
"Yes, but I just broke through, and I haven't done the mission of the golden core period yet. I came here to pick one up and test my own strength. I didn't expect to see this mission as soon as I came here." Li Lin said with a smile.
"For a reward of 500 taels, at least three people are needed for this task, and he is a Tier [-] Demon Cultivator, so his strength should not be underestimated." The senior also smiled and said, "Are you sure, Junior?"

"The second time?" Li Lin was in a daze for a moment, then smiled and said, "So you are really the direct disciple of Immortal Venerable Wuwang."
"It seems that you are full of confidence, junior brother." The senior brother was also quite surprised, and interrupted.
I don't understand what these two people are talking about. What does assassination have to do with direct disciples?
After rationalizing the wording, Chi Jue opened his mouth to ask, then swallowed the previous words, and asked in a different way: "What's the matter, only the direct disciples know?"
"Elite Pavilion." Li Lin's expression was full of yearning, and he said: "The disciples of Jindan stage who have completed a single assassination or a team assassination are all qualified to enter the Elite Pavilion. Killing a demon is different from killing a demon. Disciples who kill monsters and can enter the Elite Pavilion have a superior status in the sect. However, the Immortal Venerable will only tell his own disciples, and ordinary named disciples, unless they hit by mistake, they will not be able to pass this threshold .”
The Elite Pavilion sounds so awesome that Chi Jue couldn't help but be moved.
"When will the selection of the Elite Pavilion be held?" Chi Jue asked subconsciously.
"After three months."
Three months later, Chi Jue made some calculations in his heart.
In my memory, Qin Yuhan also stepped into the golden core stage not long ago, and she will be released from confinement in three months, and she will definitely participate in the selection of the elite pavilion at that time.
Chi was determined not to meet her, but some things would happen sooner or later.
Just as Chi Jue was about to say something, Li Lin said "Here we are", and immediately the blade turned and pointed straight down.
The mist filled the air, the miasma was overwhelming, and the place where it fell was actually in the dark forest.
The client is the leader of a nearby tribe. The place is so remote that no one comes here all year round.
It is isolated from the world, and its development is naturally slow. There are no cities and no villages, and there are solitary tribes for thousands of miles.
The village lives by farming, and the tribe lives by hunting.
Ben lived a peaceful life, but who knew that the appearance of the demon cultivator Li Lin broke the tranquility. He appeared from time to time, and every time he appeared, he took away a large number of children.
Those children never came back.
All the tribes are in panic all day long, telling the adults of each family to take care of their children and not allow them to go out, not only that, even the adults are also worried when they go hunting.
One day, an immortal cultivator who had been training around the mainland happened to pass by, and the leader of the tribe raised all the silver taels and asked the immortal cultivator to kill Moxiu.
The immortal cultivator was no match for Moxiu alone, but he got the realm of Moxiu and a little bit of his situation, so he came to Yun Yinzong, one of the two sects in the world of cultivating immortals, and issued this task.
When I went to see the leader, the leader was so grateful that he bent his knees in front of him, and knelt down for Chi Jue and the three of them.
Glancing up, Chi Jue saw a timid gaze from the curtain behind him, and knew that it was a frightened child. Thinking of the other children who had been taken away, he couldn't bear it, so he immediately comforted the leader.
The leader led Chi Jue and the others to the place where Moxiu had been haunted. Chi Jue screened himself and did not feel the presence of Moxiu.
The three of them exchanged glances with each other, and decided to look for each other separately, sense the location of Moxiu, and then tell the rest to kill him together.
Chi Jue had ten lives by his side, so he didn't need to search so hard, but he could only pretend and act separately.
Moxiu, who has become obsessed, is no longer a normal person. He has lost his mind and is more terrifying than monsters. He can do anything.
Shi Ming pointed in a direction, saying that Moxiu was over there.
Chi Jue thought about it and decided to go over and have a look.He didn't intend to confront the demon face-to-face, he just went to investigate the reality.
In the dense forest, there are unfamiliar plants everywhere, lush and luxuriant, covering the sky and the sun.
Stepping on the accumulated fallen leaves, pushing aside the low hanging branches that blocked the road, Chi Jue's eyes locked on a plant not far ahead.
It was a tree, which looked ordinary at first glance, with its branches extending and hanging down, but Chi Jue's heart skipped a beat.
A creepy feeling spread in my heart.
"The sense of oppression from that tree is so strong." Chi Jue guessed that it was not ordinary.
A bird squeaked and passed by, and just landed on the tree.
The tree seemed to have sensed a living thing, and the low-hanging branches seemed to be alive, and they moved flexibly. The branches rolled up, quietly, and gathered silently from all directions, and surrounded the birds.
The bird was chirping, unaware of the approaching danger, and was singing happily, but suddenly let out a scream in vain, and was rolled up by the branches.
It gets tighter and tighter, as if trying to melt the bird into the branch.
The tree secreted a viscous fluid that seeped from its branches and stained the feathers of the birds, enveloping it entirely.
"Is this... eating it?"
Goosebumps stood up, looking at the scene in front of him, Chi determined to feel a little fear.
Cannibal tree?
Like a wolf, the bird was quickly corroded by the liquid and disappeared, as if it had never existed.
The branches trembled and hung down again, as if waiting for the next prey to arrive.
The sense of oppression has decreased a little, but the fear in my heart has become more and more intense.
That tree was too hungry, that's why the sense of oppression was so strong just now. Chi Jue raised his eyes and looked around. In the dense forest, this kind of tree cannot be the only one.
Chi Jue suddenly regretted coming into this forest, he felt that it was really a dangerous place.
"There are all kinds of things in the world. I've heard of this plant that can eat animals, but I've seen it for the first time." Shi Ming laughed softly.
His feet seemed to be stuck, Chi Jue couldn't move his feet, and his eyes kept moving among the trees.
"Are you afraid?" Shi Ming said, still smiling.
"Of course I'm afraid." Chi Jue didn't deny it.
There is no need to worry about safety if you have true energy and cultivation, but the shock and impact of the picture just now are too strong.
"I heard that the liquid it secretes is very useful." Ten Lives was thoughtful.
"So what if it's useful? Could it be that you use a living thing to eat it and take the opportunity to get the liquid. I'm afraid that if it gets angry, it will wrap me up." Fighting plants, it's a bit ridiculous to say it, but Chi is determined In fact, there is no certainty.
Thinking of the sticky liquid, Chi Jue shivered unconsciously.
"Then leave it alone."
Shi Ming's voice was full of joy, and Chi Jue knew that whenever he went to a place he hadn't been to, under a novel environment, he was always in a good mood.
Requests made to people in a good mood are generally granted.
The feet seemed to be nailed in place, and they couldn't be pulled out at all. Chi Jue felt a trace of coldness climb up his back, and his voice became uncontrollably weaker: "I want to leave here, but I can't walk..."
The end of Chi Jue's words dragged a bit, and he expressed his mood tactfully.
With Yi Jue raised, Ten Lives appeared in front of him.
"Follow me." Said the sentence with drooping eyes, turned around and walked.
The drooping branches and tendrils on both sides avoided one after another, giving him a seemingly empty path.
Although it wasn't what he thought in his mind, but with Shi Ming leading the way, he felt strength surge from the soles of his feet in vain, Chi Jue took a light step, and trotted after him.
After a few steps to catch up, Chi Jue's eyes were locked on the back of the person in front of him, with a smile on his lips, and he didn't notice a huge rhizome entrenched on the ground between the peelings.
"oops!"
With his feet stretched out, Chi Jue tripped over the tree root and fell forward uncontrollably.
When Chi Jue fell, Shi Ming turned his head and subconsciously wanted to reach out to support him, but he passed through him.
Frowning, Shi Ming watched Chi Jue fall to the ground.
The whole person was face down, lying on the ground, and fell into the mud, Chi Jue was extremely embarrassed.
Holding onto the old tree that tripped him, Chi Jue climbed up.
Feeling something strange in his mouth, Chi was determined to shudder.
Fuck, I really ate mud!This makes me how to behave in the future!
Don't stop me, let me shit!
"Bah bah" twice, spit out the dirt that he ate, and an embarrassing blush appeared on Chi Jue's face.
The atmosphere was a little stagnant, and as he patted off the plaster on his body, Chi Jue said in embarrassment: "This is an accident."
The embarrassing scene was seen by the person he likes, and Chi decided to feel extremely embarrassed.
Staring at him, Shi Ming smiled and said, "You need to take a shower."
Chi Jue went down the steps and said, "Of course."
I squeezed my ankle, feeling a little pain.Moved a bit, but fortunately it didn't twist.
Moving his gaze to his ankle, Shi Ming said, "Pay attention to your feet when walking, don't always stare at me."
Chi Jue curled his lips and said, "That's because you rarely show up."
"I don't want to show myself in front of others." Shi Ming was stunned for a moment, and then said soothingly, "You can watch it for as long as you want in the future."
"Really? I will work hard to cultivate so that that day will come sooner." Yang laughed, and Chi Jue felt the awkward atmosphere dissipate.
Still leaning against the tree, Chi Jue wanted to take a rest and stand up when his feet got better.
Rubbing his feet and spreading his hands, Chi Jue's eyes stopped on the few grooves in the palm of his hand.
Staring at the thin lines intertwined in his palms, Chi Jue raised his eyes and said, "Ten Ming, you stretch out your right hand."
"What?" With the doubtful words, Shi Ming spread his right hand in the eyes of the other party.
The slender fingers are slightly curved upwards, with full, white and slender finger pads.
After scrutinizing it in his hand for a long while, Chi decided to be astonished.
Unlike the clear and clear ones in the palm of my hand, the lines in the palm of Ten Lives are entangled and intertwined, like a mess.
"Do you know how to read?" Shi Ming said softly, "You have to read your left hand."
"Same." Chi Jue whispered, he didn't understand how such beautiful palm prints were so intricate.
Carefully identify the deeper line of affection among a pile of thin lines, which is very long and extends from the edge of the palm to the point between the index finger and the thumb.
Seeing how long the relationship line was, Chi Jue was relieved and smiled unconsciously.
"See what?" Ten Ming asked, raising his eyes.
"I don't understand either, but such a long strip must mean that we can last for a long time."
Seeing the complicated palms at first, Chi Jue was worried for a while, for fear that he would see a short line of emotion, which would break off after a short stretch.
"You mean the love line?" Shi Ming glanced down and said, "The longer the life line, the better."
"It's all the same." With a smile on his face, Chi Jue patted his ashes and stood up.
When I looked up, I saw the same tree as the one that ate the bird before.
His foot staggered and he almost fell again.
Fortunately, Chi Jue held him in time to avoid another fall.
"Get out of here." His tone trembled, Chi never wanted to stay here again.
Raising his true energy, it covered his whole body with a thin layer, and he was on guard, Chi Jue followed Shi Ming through the dense forest.
Along the way, he saw a lot of trees eating living things, and Chi Jue subconsciously stayed away from them.
The dense forest was full of miasma, and the intertwined branches of the trees completely blocked the scorching sun above the head. In the hot weather, Chi Jue felt a bit of coolness here.
The sound of footsteps on the fallen leaves drove away many wild beasts living in the forest. Along the way, there was no surprise attack by unknown creatures.
The further you go, the thicker the miasma becomes.
"This miasma, couldn't it be made by Demon Cultivator Li Lin?" Chi Jue murmured in a low voice.
Bewitching, and arresting many children, they must be doing shameful things. It stands to reason that the miasma may really be caused by the devil. Chi Jue thought about it, and he was firm in this idea.
But after walking for so long, he didn't feel the breath of the demon cultivator.
"Is he still far away?" Chi Jue asked with his voice raised a little.
The figure in front did not stop at all, but the voice came over: "Hurry up."
After walking forward again for a while, the sun was mottled and fell on the ground, pulling out yellow beams of light.
After finally passing through the dense forest, looking back, Chi Jue breathed a sigh of relief.
The scorching sun was hot, but the scorching heat of the scorching sun did not reach here.
What appeared in front of us was a wide lake, the dark green color indicated its depth, the water surface was calm and waveless, and a thick miasma shrouded it, spreading outward continuously.
"The source of the miasma is this lake?" Chi Jue frowned.
Seeing the water at first glance, Chi Jue was filled with joy, thinking that he could take a bath, but the green lake water, which was as deep as black, dispelled his idea.
"The magic cultivator is at the bottom of the lake, do you want to go down and have a look?" Shi Ming turned around, with light flowing in his eyes.
Chi Jue looked at the lake, inspected it intently, and then shook his head hastily.
Standing by the lake, he couldn't feel the breath of the demon cultivator, so he didn't know how deep the lake was.
"I'll call Li Lin and the others over first." Chi Jue said in a deep voice.
The thought was sent out, and Li Lin and his senior brother rushed here quickly.
"A steady stream of miasma comes from here." Li Lin's expression became serious, he pinched his chin with two fingers and rubbed it a little, and said: "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. I think Moxiu might hide it. At the bottom of this lake."
"But I don't know how deep this lake is. If I go down rashly, I'm afraid..." A look of worry appeared on the brother's face.
"I'll go down and have a look first, and I'll come up within a stick of incense." Seeing his brother's worried expression, Li Lin smiled reassuringly, and said, "Don't worry, I have the ability to save my life."
Since he said so, Chi Jue and his senior brother also acquiesced.
Li Lin sighed and jumped into the lake.
A stick of incense time passed, but Li Lin didn't come up.
An hour passed, and Li Lin hadn't come up yet.
The surface of the lake was as calm as before, without any waves.
I kept calling with my mind, but I couldn't get half a reply.
The senior brother was dripping with cold sweat, and Chi Jue couldn't sit still.
"I knew that I should have asked the leader about the situation of the lake first, so it was really inappropriate to act so hastily." The brother couldn't help shaking his head, with regret in his voice: "I should have insisted and held him back."
"I don't believe this lake has always been like this." Chi Jue pursed his lips and said, "The people of the tribe are just ordinary people, and they shouldn't be able to see the miasma covering the lake."
"But at least I can know how deep the lake is." The brother sighed and said, "Li Lin is too confident."
After pondering for a moment, Chi Jue said, "I'll go down and have a look."
"Don't go down." The senior brother stopped him and stopped him.
"If you don't go down, you can't do it. Moxiu is below, and sooner or later you have to go down." Chi Jue smiled and said, "I also have the ability to save my life."
"Moxiu will show up to catch the children of the tribe every once in a while. Let's not be impatient and wait for him to come out." The brother insisted: "Li Lin has not come up for so long, I feel very disturbed. Then Moxiu It’s a fifth-level demon cultivator, you and I are only at the golden core stage, and it’s useless to go down, not to mention the miasma here is so dense, it can be regarded as his lair, so we’ll wait.”
"Don't wait." Chi Jue shook his head and said, "Li Lin said he has the ability to save his life. He must have been trapped below if he hasn't come up for so long. will be even worse.”
Tong Chijue looked at each other for a moment, the senior brother nodded, and said: "Every incense stick, you have to use your thoughts to inform me about your situation. If there is no news from you for two hours, I will return to Yunyinzong immediately, Report this matter to Master."
"Okay." Chi Jue returned him with a reassuring expression, put on a smile, turned around and walked towards the source of the miasma.
The author has something to say: This is the first time I write such a fat chapter (⊙_⊙) It seems that XXX is just around the corner hahaha [smiles like an idiot]
