Chapter 316: Long Worm

The Tiannan region is very large.

The Seven Kingdoms area is at the top. Going north is the Dead North Sea, which is covered with ice and snow all year round, with thin spiritual energy and a harsh environment. Going south are two places, the southwest is the evil cultivation area, and the southeast is the sea area. The three are arranged like a "品" character.

Continuing southwest from the evil cultivation area is the Tiannan Region.

The border is blocked by the Wan Yao Mountains.

Tiannan Territory is like an inverted polygon, with the top connected to the Dead Silence North Sea and the southernmost connected to the sea at the bottom. It is the largest piece of land in this area. It is only because the pass between the evil cultivation land and Tiannan Territory is at the bottom corner that many people think that Tiannan Territory is in the south of the evil cultivation land. In fact, the west and northwest of the evil cultivation land are all Tiannan Territory, but there is a barrier of the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain, and there is no way to cross it, so people feel that it is in the southwest.

After flying away from the Shenhu Immortal Gate, Chen Luo flew towards the southeast.

Half a day later, he arrived at the place where Xue Ning had arranged things.

This is a small city near the sea, and like Mushan City, it is a city of She State. After the change of dynasties, this place also became the territory of Cang State.

However, this place is remote and the communication is inconvenient, so the people in charge did not pay attention to these things. In the eyes of the people below, changing the name is the business of the bigwigs above, and the changes are all kings, princes, generals and ministers, which has nothing to do with them. The flag of the She State hanging on the top of the city has not been changed, and everyone is still living their previous life.

The changes in Shenhu Xianmen and the Imperial Center had no impact here.

This place is remote, the spiritual energy is thin, and immortal cultivators are almost extinct. Chen Luo sensed the air but did not find a single immortal cultivator.

After passing the small town, Chen Luo went deep into the mountains, where he finally found the small valley arranged by Xue Ning.

There is a person in charge left by Xue Ning here. As long as he is found, he can quickly figure out what happened here and take over the forces left by Xue Ning in the sea area. After being promoted to the Jindan stage, Chen Luo needs a group of higher quality brains, a force that completely obeys him and can help him quickly collect enough brains. The "Heart Demon Art" also needs people to help him spread the "Heart Demon Seed".

"No one?"

The valley was not big. Chen Luo spread out his spiritual sense and quickly took in everything in the valley.

Falling into the valley, Chen Luo took a look at the only thatched hut inside. This house was decorated by Xue Ning, and everything was the same as he remembered. Logically, there should be a mute slave waiting for him here, but now there was no living person in the valley.

Chen Luo walked over and pushed open the wooden door, ready to see if there were any clues inside.

The furnishings in the house were simple, with only a bed and a table, two round stools leaning to one side, and the oil lamp on the table was also knocked over, leaving a circular mark on the table. Other places were also very messy, as if something urgent had happened and the people living there had fled in a hurry.

Chen Luo walked in and pinched it with his index finger, and found that there was a thick layer of white ash on it. Judging from the thickness, no one had been to this place for at least ten years, which was very different from the arrangement in Xue Ning's memory.

"strangeness."

This was the place Xue Ning had arranged. If something happened, the people inside should have informed her immediately. Why didn't even Xue Ning receive the news?

Chen Luo searched the valley but found no clues.

He flew out of the valley again and searched the area. With his spiritual sense, he soon found a few woodcutters on a mountain path who were going up the mountain to chop wood. These people did not have any spiritual energy at all and looked like ordinary people.

Chen Luo flew down from the air, ready to find these people and ask what happened in the valley.

A person flying down from the sky was naturally seen by several woodcutters who were going up the mountain. The woodcutters quickly put down the dry firewood on their backs and bowed respectfully to Chen Luo.

One of them spoke a long speech.

Chen Luo was stunned for a moment.

These people don't know the official language of the She Kingdom? He had never encountered such a scene when he went to the evil cultivation land and Tiannan region before. Although these two places span thousands of miles, they are essentially of the same origin. It's just that the pronunciation is slightly different, and you can understand it with a little brain. But this is the first time Chen Luo has come here, and there are no people from this place in his collected brains, so naturally he can't understand what they say.

The perception of a Jindan Zhenren was very strong. Chen Luo could roughly hear the awe these people wanted to express, but he couldn't understand the specific meaning. He could only understand that awe was meaningless. He wanted to inquire about the news in the valley and find the mute slave left by Xue Ning.

"Do you understand Mandarin?"

Chen Luo tried to ask.

Several woodcutters looked confused. One of them hesitated for a moment and then asked a question in poor official language.

"Immortal. Are. Are. You. Going to Eat?"

Seeing what he said, Chen Luo laughed immediately. He must have only learned some fixed sentences and had never really talked to anyone.

But Chen Luo didn't care. As long as he could understand the general idea, it was fine.

"Do you know where the people in the valley have gone?" Chen Luo pointed in the direction of the valley. These woodcutters were all nearby villagers, and the most direct way to find out if there were any changes in the valley was to ask them.

"Snakes are long and worms are big!!"

Seeing the direction Chen Luo pointed, several woodcutters showed horrified expressions on their faces. The woodcutter who could speak some Mandarin danced for a long time and finally gave a general idea.

snake?

Could it be a monster?

Chen Luo was a little skeptical. He had been to the valley before. If there were monsters in the valley, he should be able to sense it.

Several woodcutters talked for a long time, and the woodcutter who could speak Mandarin even volunteered to take Chen Luo to see the long worms. These woodcutters must have met immortal cultivators before, and it was because of this that they were so enthusiastic. Because leading immortal cultivators would receive rewards from the immortals.

Seeing this, Chen Luo threw out a few spirit stones.

After forming a pill, spirit stones can be extracted from the heaven and earth's vitality by themselves, but it takes some time. Normal Jindan cultivators will not do such a thing, as the effort and reward are not proportional.

The woodcutters who got the spirit stones were very excited and took the initiative to lead Chen Luo to the other side.

This direction was different from the previous valley. There were a lot of weeds and the forest was very lush. The rotten leaves on the ground were black, like an old forest that no one had ever set foot in.

Several woodcutters made their living in the mountains, and they walked very fast on the mountain roads, not to mention Chen Luo. This kind of terrain was like walking on flat ground for him. After passing through two hills, the woodcutters in front stopped and pointed to a cave in front.

"Longworm nest."

The woodcutters didn't dare to go any further. A cow had been lost in their village before, and several strong men had tracked it down, but none of the people who had entered the cave had ever returned.

Chen Luo spread his consciousness and found that there was indeed a demonic aura in the cave. He could not sense its strength. There was a special energy in the cave that blocked his consciousness. He stretched out his sleeve and took out a piece of talisman paper. The paper shook twice on the ground and turned into several palm-sized figures.

"Go in and try it out."

When the woodcutters nearby saw this scene, their eyes were filled with even more awe.

Several talisman paper figures climbed up along the stone, their vivid movements were no different from real people. After forming the elixir, Chen Luo's talisman cultivation had also improved, and now he could draw a third-level spiritual talisman. The talisman paper figures made with this strength were naturally very different from before.

After a long while, a roar suddenly came from the cave.

The induction of the paper figures that Chen Luo had put in was suddenly disconnected, and a foul smell of evil spirit rolled out from inside, and several white bones were blown out. The woodcutters had never seen such a momentum, and they retreated in fear, hiding far away, hiding behind big rocks and secretly watching. Chen Luo was also impacted by this evil spirit, and his robes rustled.

“I dare to eat anything.”

Chen Luo reached out and took out a small black stone.

This stone was the "demon seed" of the Demon Seed Sect Master. The several paper figures he had put in there before all had curses drawn by him. If the monster in the cave dared to eat the paper figure, it meant that the curse was also swallowed by it.

He made a hand gesture with one hand, and a black spiritual power appeared at his fingertips.

The tip of his index finger lightly touched the magic stone, and then he heard a "crack" sound, and the stone broke. An invisible force was transmitted into it.

In the cave.

A huge black snake coiled up and howled in pain. Its body twisted in the cave and its tail swept fiercely on the stone wall next to it. Then a loud 'boom' was heard and the mountain shook. A stronger demonic energy burst out from the snake's body.

Simply emitting demonic energy could not solve the problem. Wisps of black aura ignored the demonic power and merged into its brain.

The attacked black creature was running around wildly in the cave, causing the ground outside to shake and rocks to fall. Several woodcutters turned pale with fear and kept shouting things like "The mountain king is angry".

Chen Luo ignored them. He grabbed the air and spread out his palm.

The powder that turned into powder after the black stone cracked floated up at some point, mixed with a wisp of black and gray energy, and condensed into a black snake-shaped soul in the palm of his hand.

This is the effect of the superposition of ghost cultivation methods and curses.

Chen Luo has the brain of the Demon Sect Master and the brain of the Ghost Cultivator Xue Ning in his body. The combined use of the two is even more terrifying than when they were alive.

"If you eat anything you don't like, you'll die!"

Chen Luo didn't plan to take the risk, so he stretched out his index finger and gently pinched the little snake phantom in his hand. He saw that the dark little snake phantom was gently pinched off by two fingers, especially the head, which was directly pinched into nothingness.

Boom

An angry roar was heard from the cave, followed by a violent collision. The mountain above was cracked and a large amount of soil and sand fell down. It took a long time before everything returned to calm.
