Chapter 246: The magnificent sea of lantern flowers and the terrifying demon forest hidden deep un
The next morning, the five of them took a special teleportation array and came directly to the evil alienation area. At this time, the original restricted area had been lifted, but because this was the hinterland of the Thousand Lights Forest, the only safe route to enter was Thousand Lights Town. However, if you want to take the teleportation array in Thousand Lights Town, you need to spend a lot of spirit coins, so this place is still a paradise with few people.
Once people are gone, spiritual plants and animals tend to increase in number. Although this place had just been polluted by the origin of the sick world and suffered considerable damage, the number of creatures that had returned to normal had not decreased much, except for becoming weaker.
Because they had prepared talismans and elixirs specifically for protecting against the cock-crested python in advance, the five people's safety could be basically guaranteed as long as they did not deliberately go to the cock-crested python's territory to "provoke" it.
As soon as he arrived here, Yun Bai felt the weak but cheerful emotions of countless plants. Such intimacy and enthusiasm moved Yun Bai so much that his nose was sore again. No matter what kind of pain the spiritual plants suffered, they would never pass their pain on to others. What they conveyed to Yun Bai was always the greatest welcome and love. This might be the biggest difference between humans and spiritual plants...
After chatting with the spirit plants for a while and knowing that the situation here was not too bad, Yun Bai and Xiao Hua went to the seriously injured and dying spirit plants first, and Yun Bai used the spirit-guiding technique to help them save their lives first, and then she asked about whether there were any unusual movements underground. However, because the spirit plants and spirit beasts here were generally of low grade, she couldn't get any useful information after asking for a long time.
"About three miles from here, there is an eighth-grade Tianxian vine, and five miles to the northeast there is an eighth-grade Songye Wuzhu. Those two are the old masters here, and they may find something. Follow the route I gave you, so you can avoid those dangerous cockscomb pythons and other beasts." Although she did not get direct information, she still found some clues. Then the five of them rushed to the location of the two eighth-grade spiritual plants. Following the route indicated by the spiritual plants, they were safe all the way without encountering any danger.
The five people still didn't get any special news from the Tianxian vine. Although the Tianxian vine's root system was not so developed, the vines on the ground could spread over a distance of more than ten miles. It also told Yun Bai a good news - twelve miles southeast of here, there is a small piece of wild lantern flowers! Among them, several have successfully mutated into colorful lanterns! The so-called "wild" means ownerless. Unlike the lantern flower fields taken over by the alliance, that small piece of "wild" lantern flowers has not been discovered by any human, which means that Yun Bai and others can pick them freely! This made Yun Bai very happy, because she had always been thinking about helping Mu Yun and the others collect more high-quality lantern flower materials, while those controlled by the alliance could only be obtained by purchase, and colorful lanterns could not be bought even if you had money! Now, they have such a good place... Yun Bai quickly told the good news to the others, and everyone was very happy after hearing it - Mu Yun was even happier, not for those precious materials, but simply for the thought that Yun Bai had placed in his heart.
Yun Bai firmly memorized the map given by Tianxian Teng, and then followed its prompts to take the safest route to the eighth-grade Songye Wuzhu. Songye Wuzhu has the dual characteristics of pine and bamboo, and the "Wu" in its name is not for show - it was originally called "Songye Bamboo", and later the weapon refiner discovered that this spiritual plant has the advantages of toughness and sharpness, and is particularly suitable for making various weapons. In the past 20,000 years, among the few famous spiritual practitioners, 30% of them are spiritual practitioners who have transformed from Songye Bamboo! The name "Songye Wuzhu" has been passed down since then.
Unlike the Tianxian Teng, the aboveground part of the Songye Wuzhu is extremely developed, and the root system is more developed than the underground part. Take this eighth-grade Songye Wuzhu in front of you for example. The aboveground trunk is as thick as Xiaohua's waist, more than 18 meters high, and the underground root system can extend to a thousand meters underground. The longest root can even go more than 1,100 meters underground. The entire root system can cover a radius of 30 miles! More importantly, according to the characteristics of bamboo, they can reproduce through the root system. The offspring will fall off from the mother or father after they are half-grown. Before that, the mother or father of a Songye Wuzhu can have several daughters and enjoy their perspectives at the same time! Now, if this eighth-grade Songye Wuzhu is added with the shared perspective of the daughters, the range can extend to more than 40 miles!
Yun Bai finally got two explosive news from the eighth-grade Songye Wuzhu - first, thirty miles west of here, there is a more secret and ownerless lantern flower field on the inner ring side, where there are three eighth-grade fantasy colorful lanterns! However, there are two seventh-grade cockscomb pythons guarding it all year round, which is very dangerous!
The second piece of news was the purpose of Yun Bai and his five companions' trip. Less than ten miles to the east of here, there was an underground cave one thousand five hundred meters underground where humans, dark attribute spiritual plants and spiritual beasts were active. They had one thing in common, they all exuded an aura that made it feel cold and disgusting, very similar to those spiritual plants and spiritual beasts that had been infected before, but not exactly the same!
Through the soul connection with the eighth-grade pine leaf bamboo, Yun Bai also saw part of the huge underground cave, and was immediately shocked by the scene inside! Under the cover of a dim red and black light, countless evil and alienated spiritual plants and spiritual beasts were baring their fangs and claws, roaring, and some seemed to have just mutated. They all twisted their bodies (or plants). Even without any sound, Yun Bai could feel that they were in great pain! And some completely mutated demonized spiritual plants and spiritual beasts were fighting and devouring each other fiercely, and quickly formed several camps!
The entire cave was as terrifying as a hell filled with ferocious monsters, but the most horrifying thing for Yun Bai was yet to come!
A little further away, many people wearing black cloaks shuttled back and forth between various spiritual plants and spiritual beasts. On the left chest of those black cloaks, there was a strange totem, which might be some kind of symbol. It can be seen that those spiritual plants and spiritual beasts were trapped here by force. Those people used some unknown method to imprison them here and prevent them from moving. Then, those people sprayed a liquid on the trapped spiritual plants and spiritual beasts. The moment the liquid touched the spiritual plants and spiritual beasts, they twisted and twitched in pain. In just a blink of an eye, they began to transform into evil! When this transformation enters a relatively stable stage, they will be sent to the front area by the people wearing black cloaks to fight with those evil creatures that have already been transformed. In the end, those who survived will be concentrated and sent to a place deeper underground!
Seeing this, Yun Bai finally discovered a horrible fact—someone was actually artificially creating evil alienation!
