chapter182Because the Fog Tears Bamboo Forest was in an open area, Su Ziyi didn't even dare to raise the fire.After washing his face and hands indiscriminately, leaning against the sparse shrubs, Su Ziyi took out the food and water bladder and chewed slowly, although today is only the first day, Su Ziyi has a feeling of being in a different world, and even the slightly sweet taste of the steamed buns soaked in saliva makes him nostalgic.I really don't know what else will happen next.By the time he had finished his dinner, the sun had set, and the whole sky was grayish-blue, heralding the arrival of night.He squeezed his whole body into the gaps of the bushes that grew next to him, recoated his face and hands with the mud activated by the essence of the five elements, and then curled up and spent the night in such a careful way.This night, the surroundings are not quiet.From time to time, there was a "whooshing" sound of water being disturbed in the depression, and there were also "gurgling" and "babbling" sounds from unknown animals, even if it was the shrub where Su Ziyi was staying, there were also insects similar to crickets making "one by one" sounds.In short, this night, Su Ziyi only felt quite lively.After the sun rose the next day, Su Ziyi got out of the state of cultivation, and this meditation and rest made his whole person's mental outlook return to the fullest state, and every muscle in his body was full of energy and ready to go.He settled breakfast in two bites, and walked in the direction he had planned yesterday with his sword in hand.The further you go, the more dynamic you become.Unlike the blood thread insects that only hide themselves in the shadows in the reed flower lake, in this low-lying land, there are many small and weak monsters and animals, they are not big, their strength is not high, they are not aggressive, and they only survive on the impurities and aquatic plants in the muddy water.Even the demon beasts in it only have an extremely faint spiritual power in their bodies, and other than that, they are no different from ordinary animals.But Su Ziyi didn't dare to underestimate their existence, because he found that wherever these demon beasts gathered, it was easy for spirit grass to appear, although it was not a very precious spirit grass, but it was much better than the place on the side.In an instant, Su Ziyi remembered the role played by earthworms and other scavengers on the earth in the ecological cycle, so he deduced that these inconspicuous demon beasts were the same?
Thinking of this, Su Ziyi immediately took out a small wooden box from the storage bag, grabbed some water and mud and put it in, ready to take it home and test it well, if it is true, then the spirit grass he will plant in the future can be raised better.It's just that the storage bag has the restriction that no living animals can be placed, so after thinking about it, Su Ziyi had to use a bag to carry it behind his back.At the same time, he began to think back to what he had learned on Earth, remembered the role of bacteria and fungi, and couldn't help but hope to find something similar.All the way forward, the puddle under Su Ziyi's feet not only did not get shallower and shallower, but became deeper and deeper, and in the end, he almost passed through the water, and as far as the eye could see, the front was like this, a shallow swamp with sparkling thousands of miles, and the dry land was not visible at all.This couldn't help but make Su Ziyi wonder if he was in the wrong place.But he was soon in no mood to think about it, as a group of demon beasts appeared within the range of his divine sense.This is a group of silver-scaled fish covered in small silver scales, they are not large, the longest is no more than two inches in size, and there are two thin long whiskers on both sides of the protruding mouth, which looks very cute.In fact, because of their tender and delicate meat, they are indeed loved by cultivators, but their strength is too low, and they are all at the bottom of the first-order demon beasts, so they have long been arrested in the outside world and have little left.Of course, even the things that cultivators like, the demon beasts will not be very disgusted, for example, behind this group of silver-scaled fish, there is a big fish with a sharp mouth and a hard fin with a black body, with a large mouth full of sharp and thin teeth, and with a strong suck, even the ribbon fish swallowed four or five silver-scaled fish!
And that was the second-order demon beast black thorn fish!
Although the strength of the silver scale fish is low, because it is a demon beast, it has already begun to understand the wisdom, and it has learned how to avoid the existence of natural enemies like the black thorn fish early.As soon as they saw their tail fins swing, they swam quickly towards the shallow water, which made the stinging fish chasing behind them very trapped, and they were blocked by the shallow water, so they had to return in a huff.Seeing this scene, Su Ziyi understood why these silver-scaled fish were alive and well here than outside.However, since there are already first- and second-order demon beasts, it is not impossible for a higher-level demon beast to appear in front of them.Taking a deep breath, Su Ziyi walked forward again for a long time, at this time, the water around him was already above his waist, as long as Su Ziyi was willing to bend down, he would definitely be able to swim directly in the water.As for the mud he had smeared on his body, it had been almost washed away by the washing of the water along the way, and only the one above the water was still firm.Therefore, Su Ziyi looked at the water in front of him, which was bound to get deeper and deeper, so he immediately didn't think much about it, swallowed a water repellency pill, bent down and plunged into the water, and swam forward quickly.Under the surface of the water, aquatic plants flourished, and Su Ziyi also found some spiritual grasses, although these spiritual grasses are not necessarily precious, but they are also some not very common, so Su Ziyi collected them at all.It's just that this kind of collection activity didn't last long before it ended, because he found that the water area, which was originally quite lively, suddenly became quiet, and the low-level demon beasts that happened to appear in this area would also quickly swim away and avoid this area.Su Ziyi immediately realized that he had stepped into the territory of a high-level demon beast.Without the intuition of a demon beast, Su Ziyi couldn't accurately determine what level of demon beast it was before he met the other party.So for the sake of caution, he directly took the Breath Pill, so that even if the water flow stirred by him would disturb the other party, it would also make it difficult for the other party to grasp his whereabouts in the first time and buy more time for himself.It's just that the time won is not much, but in the time of a stick of incense, a colorful shuttle-shaped human-faced fish appeared in the scope of Su Ziyi's divine sense.And the moment it appeared, Su Ziyi's whole person became cautious, no longer swimming forward, but diving directly to the bottom of the water and lying on it motionless.It's just because this fish, which looks extremely gorgeous, is actually a real third-order peak demon beast!
This demon beast is as good as its name, it is directly called the "Colorful Human-faced Fish", the whole body is highly poisonous, from the skin to the bones, there is no poison, and the toxin is quite domineering, as long as it is contaminated, ordinary people will die on the spot, and the cultivators in the foundation building period will also be greatly injured, it is a third-order demon beast comparable to a fourth-order demon beast!
I don't know how many times stronger than the black spider Su Ziyi encountered at the beginning!
Therefore, in the face of this kind of demon beast, Su Ziyi did not dare to act rashly at all.He carefully hid himself in the water and grass, hoping that the other party would leave when he found nothing, or perhaps because his prayer had worked, the colorful human-faced fish turned around nearby and did not notice anything else, so he simply forgot about it, and swam away with a flick of his tail.But when it left, Su Ziyi frowned, for no other reason, because the direction in which this colorful human-faced fish left was exactly the direction he planned to go!
For a while, Su Ziyi was in a dilemma.In front of him was a place marked on the map where there might be a cherished spirit grass, and it was too unwilling for him to give up.But the Colorful Human-faced Fish is not an easy existence to deal with, even if he is now a Great Perfection of Qi Refining, he can't guarantee that he will retreat when facing the other party, in case he is injured by the other party, it is almost a matter of life.Therefore, without complete certainty of killing, Su Ziyi did not dare to easily confront the other party.But in the end, Su Ziyi decided to take a risk.After a long time, after confirming that the colorful human-faced fish had left a long enough distance, Su Ziyi swam in that direction again.And he has been working his divine sense, intending to hide as soon as he notices anything wrong, and if he can't hide under the water, then he will go to the water.It's just that this time, he swam out of Xu Yuan and failed to touch the other party again, nor did he touch other demon beasts, if it weren't for the faint demon beast breath left in the water, Su Ziyi would even think that it was an illusion of his own before.But he didn't dare to think so at all, because the breath left by the other party told him that the colorful human-faced fish was going in the same direction as him, but the other party was much ahead of him.This made him more and more cautious.At that time, it was past noon, and the water under his feet was at least three or four feet deep, and people could only see the green and glittering part of the water when they looked down at the surface of the water, and the more detailed parts were completely unclear.However, what surprised Su Ziyi was that in such a deep place, there were actually slender and slender shrubs growing?
These shrubs look like ordinary shrubs, they all grow a few small branches from the roots, and then grow upwards, the only difference from the shrubs on land is that they are bare under the water, except for the black branches, only the part that grows on the surface of the water near the tip of the water stingy to grow a few leaves, it looks very bleak.But it was such a strange shrub that came from a very thick water vapor.Su Ziyi leaned over curiously, broke one off with his hand, and then watched the fragrant juice flow out of it, and when his fingers pressed it a little harder, a small stream of clear water suddenly flowed out, and it smelled quite attractive.Looking inside, it is completely loose and fast woody tissue, which looks a bit like paulownia wood with larger holes.couldn't figure out what it was, so Su Ziyi directly folded some and put it in the storage bag, planning to study it carefully after he went back.Later, there were more and more such shrubs, and some of them were no longer scattered in the water, but were next to other shrubs, as if there was a tendency to form a forest.In such a place, Su Ziyi not only saw a different performance of spirit plants, but also keenly detected many mixed demon beast breaths, including the colorful human-faced fish he encountered before.This made him immediately realize that something was not simple.Just as he was thinking about it, a new demon beast appeared.But this time, the monster didn't swim from the water, but flew from the sky!
The other party's speed was extremely fast, at first it was only at the edge of Su Ziyi's divine sense exploration, and in the blink of an eye, he flew forward a fifth of the distance, so shocked that Su Ziyi immediately sank to the bottom of the water and no longer appeared on the water.Because just as his divine sense swept away, he had already recognized the identity of the other party—a fourth-order flying demon beast with a sharp mouth.This is a very fierce demon beast, not only in terms of flight speed is the top three existence of the same level, but the ferocity is not inferior to the general large land demon beasts, they are not entangled, one dozen is your life and death.Their long, pointed mouths are like cultivators' natal magic weapons, and they can often make a hole when inserted into the opponent's body, and they will not stop without seeing blood.So seeing this kind of demon beast, Su Ziyi only felt tricky.But fortunately, the other party didn't like water, so he swept directly through the air and went into the distance.And after the sharp mouth passed, another strange movement of the demon beast came from a distance, making this area feel a little dangerous.But with his previous experience, Su Ziyi still avoided this wave of demon beasts very well and was not discovered by the other party.It's just that when he found that all the demon beasts were going in the same direction, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, what was the place marked on the map?
Itching, he set out again to swim that way.Only this time he was more cautious.Not only did he take the Breath Extraction Pill, but he also pasted the Breath Gathering Talisman that Bian Qing bought for him, but when he swam halfway through, he suddenly felt a burst of palpitating coercion coming from the front, forcing him to stop and take a breath, and in addition to the coercion, there was also a very faint smell of blood wafting from there.Su Ziyi immediately realized that there was a bloody fight going on over there.He hurriedly took out the essence of the earth and the essence of the water from the storage bag, activated a pile of soil at the bottom of the river, and then smeared a thick layer on his body, and then took advantage of the fact that the mud had not fallen from his body, he directly rushed out of the water, and the whole person stood firmly on the water, and then forcibly resisted the trembling feeling brought by the pressure of the high-level demon beast, and used all his strength to rush towards the convenience.As the distance got closer, the smell of blood became stronger and stronger, and in addition, Su Ziyi also smelled a thick fragrance, just like the smell of water flowing from the shrub he had broken before.However, this time the taste is more pure and rich, which makes people's minds clear a lot after smelling it.And Su Ziyi also recognized the source of this smell in the first time he smelled it.It's just that he doesn't smell it, he sees it.Because a lush bamboo forest is standing above the water in the distance, they are tall and beautiful, coiled into a forest, and use their thick roots to create a "land" in this ocean-like water.On the land, under the bamboo leaves, a layer of fine and dense white clouds is climbing upwards from the roots, they shake the bamboo branches and bamboo leaves, making a strange sound of "boom", just like a baby crying, so the bamboo in this bamboo forest is called "fog tear bamboo" again.
