Chapter 261 Battle in Devil's Valley (V)

In the deep and dark Dragon Creek Underworld Spring, Wu Yan was like a blue fish, unaffected by the impact of the water flow, swimming up the stream at lightning speed.

According to Tan Lang's suggestion, as long as he kept going up the stream and entered the bottom of the Diamond Mountain from the spring, he could find the root of the Soul-Nourishing Ancestral Tree that had not yet withered. As long as he found this root, the purpose of this trip would be completed.

Wu Yan was determined to get the root of the Soul-Nourishing Ancestral Tree. This was the only way for his ordinary relatives of the Wu family to continue to survive in the world, and he must not lose it.

The Dragon Scale Armor was indeed a treasure of the spiritual treasure level. Even if it only activated part of the water escape power of the first level of magical power, it was extremely fast in the water, even faster than when he used the Wind Hidden Step on land.

After a few moments, Wu Yan, who was swimming rapidly under the water, suddenly changed his face and glanced up.

In the water, he did not dare to easily probe his spiritual sense to investigate the surrounding situation, but the dragon breath shield has an advantage, that is, it can display the movements within a hundred feet above the water, and display them on the spiritual wall of the dragon breath shield with some special dragon clan secret method. It is equivalent to Wu Yan's eyes can directly see everything within a hundred feet above the water surface in the water.

But at the intersection of the tributaries of the Dragon Stream, there was a man standing on the bank of the tributary flowing to Nanying, looking at the water surface with a gloomy and indifferent look. The man held a bowl magic weapon in his hand, and seemed to be hesitating about where to pour the contents of the bowl magic weapon into the water. This person was the Poison Venerable.

Wu Yan smiled coldly, then took out the Ten Thousand Poison Gourd and held it in his right palm. His left hand was quietly raised, silently moving the blood evil magic energy, and the six hairs on the index and middle fingers had faintly grown.

Wu Yan quietly walked to the bottom of the shore in the water, and then walked to the bottom of the shore by feeling the sand and rocks, and then he quietly floated up at a very slow speed.

The Poison Venerable had a sneaky expression on his face, and looked around for a moment, and even took out a high-level talisman with his other hand and held it in his hand.

However, no matter how careful he was, he could not find out that someone was almost sneaking under his feet.

In this Devil Valley, the topography is too strange, and this Longxi Mingquan is famous for being able to devour people's consciousness. No one dares to jump into the water and swim casually. How could the Poison Venerable realize that there was still someone in this Mingquan.

However, he still had the usual caution of a cultivator, so the Poison Venerable still held a high-level talisman in his hand.

Unfortunately, because the underground magnetic force here is extremely special, he cannot open the protective aura, which invisibly reduces his defense ability.

Wu Yan saw this and decided to kill the man with a surprise attack. Moreover, he was looking for someone to test the power of the legendary Blood Blade.

The eyes of the Poison Venerable were rolling around, and he kept looking at the situation around him. He looked like he would use the talisman in his hand if he saw that the situation was not good. His other hand was ready to flip the bowl in his hand and pour the large amount of poison in it into the Longxi Mingquan. However, his eyes were always moving around, but he did not look into the water, so he did not find anything strange under the water.

Just when the Poison Venerable stretched his arm over the stream and was about to pour the poison in the bowl, something strange happened.

Forty-eight strange vines like poisonous snakes suddenly broke out of the water and instantly entangled the Poison Venerable's arm, and then entangled his whole body.

The Poison Venerable was horrified. He had never expected that there was someone ambushing underwater. However, he was a Jindan-stage cultivator after all. Although he was shocked, he did not panic. He hurriedly sacrificed the talisman in his other hand, just waiting to activate the magic power sealed in the talisman.

Unfortunately, he forgot the taboos of this place because of his panic. When he sacrificed the talisman this time, he suddenly felt that the magic power on his feet began to pour down to the ground crazily. He had not successfully sacrificed the talisman, but because of the crazy pouring of magic power, his mind began to become confused instantly.

It was this confusion that completely killed him.

But a figure rushed out of the water. The figure was in the air, but on his right hand was a black and shining treasure gourd. At the feet of the figure, the spiritual light of the magic power pouring down was visible to the naked eye, but he ignored it and aimed the mouth of the black and shining treasure gourd at the confused and stunned Poison Venerable.

A flash of bloody light rushed out of the gourd and cut through the neck of the Poison Venerable in an instant. After the arc of bloody light cut through the neck of the Poison Venerable, it rushed out more than ten feet and disappeared due to exhaustion of mana.

The head of the Poison Venerable rose into the sky the next moment. The forty-eight tendrils that were originally entangled with the Poison Venerable separated into two at the thought of Wu Yan, and rushed up to entangle the head directly. With a twist, a crackling sound came from the tendrils, which was horrifying.

As the head and the soul inside were crushed by the two tendrils, the headless body was also crushed into minced meat by the other forty-six tendrils in the blink of an eye.

When the blood mist dissipated, the figure fell to the ground.

The forty-eight tendrils grabbed the three bags, shrank rapidly, and returned to the hands of the figure. The light of the black-glowing treasure gourd also disappeared the next moment, and disappeared with the wave of the figure's big hand. This attack may sound time-consuming, but in fact, it took no more than ten breaths from the start to the end.

If such a strange sneak attack and assassination were to be spread, it would certainly shock the entire cultivation world. You know, a Jindan early stage cultivator who has not even condensed his life magic weapon actually killed a Jindan late stage cultivator in less than ten breaths. How could anyone believe such an unreasonable thing?

However, it is a pity that this has already happened, but I am afraid that no third person will know about it.

Except for the bloodstains sprinkled on the black iron soil, the famous Du Zun of the Demon Mansion disappeared from the world. Even his Yuanshen was destroyed. From then on, there was no Du Zun in the world.

The most tragic thing is that Du Zun didn't even know who died in his hands before he died. It can be said that he was extremely unlucky.

The figure staggered and kicked the bloodstained black iron soil on the ground into the water one by one with his feet. After a moment, the last trace disappeared.

This figure is naturally Wu Yan. Without even looking at it, he quickly put the three bags he got from the Poison Venerable and the talisman that had lost its effect before it could be activated into his arms, fell headfirst, jumped into the water, and disappeared.

A few moments later, a strange huge black-haired demon wolf came down from the dark and thick magic cloud without any warning and landed here. On the back of the black-haired demon wolf, an old man with a goat beard was sitting cross-legged.

The black demon wolf walked here, raised its nose and asked around on the ground, and finally his eyes stayed on the water. The old man with a goat beard had already jumped off its back at this time. After a survey of the original place, a solemn look appeared on his face.

The man and the beast stood in silence for a moment, and a trace of cruelty flashed in the eyes of the old man with a goat beard. He jumped onto the back of the black demon wolf again, stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the South Camp. The black demon wolf took off and jumped into the dark magic cloud more than ten feet high and disappeared.

Wu Yan was naturally no longer here at this time. As soon as he jumped into the water, he swallowed a high-level Qi-replenishing pill, and with the remaining mana, he activated the water escape ability of the dragon scale armor and fled to the upper reaches of Longxi.

Although the attack just now lasted less than ten breaths, Wu Yan used the clone method and the magic weapon Wandu Gourd in the few breaths when he escaped from the water, and his blood evil magic energy and Yuanling magic power were consumed to the extreme. Especially at the moment of using magic energy and magic power, the crazy suction of Yuan magnetic force almost drained Wu Yan.

Fortunately, in this Longxi Mingquan, the Yuan magnetic force seemed to have lost its effect, and there was no such strange consumption, otherwise Wu Yan would have to stay here to rest and recover his magic power before continuing to move forward. In this way, he would definitely be caught by the man and the beast just now.

Wu Yan continued to move forward with the water escape technique, while slowly absorbing the medicinal power of the high-level Qi-replenishing pill to restore his almost exhausted mana. At the same time, he continued to absorb the magic energy in Longxi Mingquan with his left arm to replenish the consumption of the blood evil magic energy just now.

Wu Yan was secretly thankful at this moment. Fortunately, this was in the Devil Valley, so he could kill the Poison Venerable so smoothly. If it were another place, I am afraid that these methods would not have any effect.

With the caution of the Poison Venerable, he would definitely release the body protection aura in advance. With this body protection aura, how could he succeed in the sneak attack?

After swimming for a few more moments, Wu Yan found that the water in front of him became narrower, but deeper. A large underwater cave appeared in front of him, which seemed to be the exit of Longxi Mingquan flowing out of the Diamond Mountain.

Wu Yan's face was happy, and he rushed in without hesitation. Under this water, he didn't have to worry about being attacked by anything. With the dragon breath shield, even if you really encounter some underwater beasts and monsters, they may not be able to break the defense of the dragon breath shield.

After entering the cave, Wu Yan slowed down and took out a piece of fluorite from his arms. With the illumination of the fluorite, the underwater cave in front of him, about ten feet away, was clearly visible.

There was nothing special here, and the cave entrance was quite wide. Wu Yan no longer hesitated, holding the fluorite and swimming carefully towards the depths.

The cave of this underground river was tortuous and it was unknown how deep it was. Wu Yan only felt that he had swam for about half an hour, and finally felt a dim light flashing in front of him, and an empty deep pit appeared in front of him.

Wu Yan hid in the water and put away the fluorite, but did not float to the surface immediately. Instead, he carefully checked the situation above the water with the special magical power of the dragon scale armor.

Through the image revealed by the dragon scale armor, Wu Yan found that this was a circular deep valley with a radius of about 200 feet. And the place where he was now seemed not to be the black iron rock, but a black wooden object, because the black wooden object in front of him had obvious wood textures on it, and it was definitely not wrong. But the wooden object was even harder than the black iron rock.

"It seems that this is the root of the legendary Soul Nurturing Tree. It's a pity that this root is dead and has even been weathered into stone. Senior Tan Lang, I have found the place where the Soul Nurturing Tree's roots are dead. Now how can I find the remaining roots that have not yet died?" Wu Yan asked Tan Lang in his heart.
