Chapter 133: Ferocious Plants
When she saw that Bai Zongjun actually went to the smaller Xingyun Temple, she understood that the Yun family was not really sincere in wanting to cooperate with the Bai family.
Otherwise, I wouldn't give you a fake map.
The map in the hands of the Yun family is the specific location of Xingyun Temple, and the maps in the hands of the Yan family and the Bai family are route maps. After the three maps are merged, it becomes the complete distribution map of Xingyun Temple.
Now, the Bai family went to the Xiaoxingyun Temple. They had no idea that there were two Xingyun Temples.
Yang Zengyue sent a message to Fan Jinggang, asking him not to worry about it and just do his job on the construction site, and to guard the foot of the mountain.
Tianyuan and his friends did not choose to enter the mountain from the village, but took a detour from the other side of the mountain.
The path we take is the most difficult one.
His intuition told him that it would be safer to cross the mountain.
Xingyun Temple has existed for so many years, it is impossible that it does not have some defensive measures.
Before coming, he had identified a route that could avoid those defenses.
On the first day, Tianyuan didn't move.
On the second, third, and even fourth nights, he saw a star in the sky becoming brighter from dim, and decided to do cloud watching the next morning after he finished the last part of the journey.
Tianyuan told the other members of the Yan family about tomorrow's plan. There were 26 people in the group. They followed his instructions and prepared various exploration tools and equipment for going underground.
Tianyuan knew that there was an underground palace in Xingyun Temple.
However, he did not know how to enter the underground palace, nor did he know where the mechanism was.
You can only try your luck.
The Yan family's map is relatively complete, after all, it was obtained from the Shi family.
On the morning of the fourth day, Tianyuan frowned. He found that the rune he left on Yan Jinxi had changed.
Yan Jinxi finally used the pill he left behind. It seems that this is Yan Jinxi's fate, and Shi Jiuyue is his nemesis.
However, this is a good thing for him.
The other members of the Yan family are not to be feared.
Tianyuan was lost in thought, fiddling with the decades-old string of beads in his hand, his abacus clicking in his mind.
He has always known what Yan Jinxi was thinking, and he also knew that Yan Jinxi would definitely "get rid of" him after getting the things from Xingyun Temple.
There is not a single good person in the Yan family.
Did Yan Jinxi think that he could do nothing by detaining Xia Yinlan and Wang Yashan?
After being exploited by the Yan family for so many years, how could he not resist and have no ideas?
How is that possible?
Even clay figures have some temper.
What's more, he almost took over Xilan Temple's Tianyuan, and he has already reached the master level!
Along the way, the Yan family members didn't say much, and on the surface they listened to Tianyuan in everything.
However, several of them received orders from Yan Jinxi.
Once they get the thing, they will kill Tianyuan directly. This was the task that Yan Jinxi assigned to them privately when they came.
Tianyuan knew it very well.
He had to use these people to find the entrance to the underground palace, so he pretended not to know.
Soon, Tianyuan brought the Yan family into the Xingyun Temple.
The woods were dense and it looked as if people often traveled this road.
Tianyuan was a little suspicious of their direction, but after a while he discovered that this road had been modified by someone, and he thought it was probably the work of Shi Jiuyue.
After some time, Tianyuan and his men bypassed these arrays.
The array's mechanism was not triggered.
Therefore, this is definitely the only way to enter Xingyun Temple.
It is also the easiest one to take.
There was an eerie silence in the mountains.
There was no sound as there should have been, not even a single animal was seen.
It doesn't make sense that we haven't found these things in such a dense and deep mountain.
Tianyuan took his steps carefully, not daring to take too heavy a step, as he was worried that there might be other "ambbles" here.
But they were not attacked until they reached the cliff.
The Yan family relaxed a little.
When he came here, Yan Jinxi described this place as so great, but what was the result?
There was nothing to be seen, and nothing to stop them.
Even when Tianyuan almost thought so, an accident happened.
The plants on the roadside that seemed so ordinary that they could be ignored suddenly jumped out and attacked them.
It's hard to guard against.
The vines of these inconspicuous vine-like plants are covered with sharp thorns. Even if they didn't have thorns, being strangled by these vines would quickly kill you.
Tianyuan and the Yan family swung their swords to cut off the vines of the first wave of plants.
Then, they discovered that these vines could grow back instantly...
The speed is breathtaking.
The plant then proceeds to attack.
Tianyuan had no choice but to retreat with his men.
Tianyuan originally thought that they could return to a safe area by retreating, but he found that they had entered a vicious circle and could not get out.
Before he could figure out what was going on with those suddenly aggressive plants, several of the people he was with were dragged away by the plants' vines that grew instantly...
Then, Tianyuan and others heard a few sounds similar to those of a ferocious animal chewing food, "crunching, crunching" sounds as it chewed bones.
"Ahhhh" the tragic and painful sound resounded through the sky.
After a few seconds, those people fell silent.
After the sounds disappeared, Tianyuan discovered that the plants suddenly became very large and dense at a speed visible to the naked eye.
You can't see what's happening inside the vines.
However, since those people did not come out and heard the creepy screams, they knew that these people had been "eaten"!
Eaten by plants!
They encountered an unprecedented plant that eats people.
Moreover, there is consciousness.
Know how to attack!
Thinking of this, everyone got goosebumps.
Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead.
Fear filled their hearts.
Before my heart could calm down, the vines of those plants swung out again.
You can still see residual blood and flesh at the tip...
The others suppressed their nausea, stood back to back in a circle, and observed their surroundings vigilantly.
Tianyuan asked others not to move for the time being.
He used runes to temporarily hide their location.
Let these people shoot.
After a burst of hurried gunfire, the plants temporarily stopped attacking.
They are not afraid, but rather observing and judging where the danger comes from.
This time they only brought guns and explosive weapons, thinking that these two weapons were enough.
No incendiary bombs were brought.
Tian Yuan ordered the people following him to use explosive weapons, and said quickly, "Where are your hand grenades? Throw them quickly if you want to survive."
The surviving members of the Yan family quickly took out grenade from the backpack behind them, pulled the trigger and threw it at the plants.
"Boom", after several sounds, the plants were blown to pieces.
The few survivors were overjoyed.
Then he threw out several more grenades.
The dense parts of the plants were blown to pieces, but their roots were still there.
Within just a few seconds, these plants grew wildly back to their original shape, and were even bigger than before!
Tianyuan's heart beat in his throat.
how so!
After being hit by the hand-bomb, these plants went crazy!
Their vines and roots began to grow in all directions, cracking the soil wherever they passed.
After searching around and not finding anyone, they stopped.
He stretched out the vines and stood them up, with the tip bent into an arc, as if trying to obtain some information from the air.
Soon, Tianyuan discovered that the plants seemed to have X-ray vision, and even though he used the hidden rune, he still could not see through their location.
These plants seem to have intelligence.
Moreover, the plants have become extremely large.
They could actually sense the breath of humans, and even though they had runes of invisibility, they were still captured by the plants.
Tianyuan discovered that although these plants were not common weeds, as a cultivator, he would deal with medicinal herbs or poisons, so he would still see them frequently.
Seeing the Yan family members' skin injured by the plants instantly festering beyond recognition, Tianyuan became much more cautious.
Although the clothes they wore when they arrived were prepared according to the needs of the expedition, they could only protect them from common insects, ants and water.
The force of the plant's vines was enough to knock them away, and the clothes were completely useless.
Tianyuan couldn't understand why this place was so weird. There was no record of strange plants in the map or the previous legends of the Yan family.
At most, the road leading to Xingyun Temple is a bit dangerous, with a deep abyss. If you fall in accidentally, you will be smashed to pieces.
Tianyuan saw that the sharp, woody thorns on the extra-large poisonous vines pierced into the arms, legs, and abdomen of the Yan family.
Those who were stabbed were immediately corroded by the venom that flowed out of the thorns.
After only holding on for less than a second, these people turned into a pool of thick, dark brown liquid with a foul smell!
I didn't even have time to shout...
Then, disgustingly, the plants began to suck up the liquid, making the same sound as when eating noodles.
Tianyuan had lived for so many years, but when he saw this scene, he felt nauseous and couldn't help vomiting.
And there is a deep fear.
The plants were eating, and they broke into a strange place.
Tianyuan was constantly strengthening himself mentally to calm himself down.
Can't be chaotic.
If you get into chaos, you will lose your mind.
He went over all the runes he could use in his mind, and then carefully observed the edible plants.
Used an enhanced version of the invisibility talisman.
He looked around and found that he had not yet reached the range of Xingyun Temple, and only one in ten of the people he brought with him was left.
Now, only he, Yan Weide, a branch of the Yan family, and Duan Qifeng, a capable subordinate of Yan Jinxi, are left.
Tian Yuan said calmly, "Watch my gestures later. Don't act rashly. These guys seem to have hearing."
Yan Weide and Duan Qifeng nodded quickly. The others would be eaten by these plants in an instant, and they didn't want to feel that kind of pain.
They want to return to Nanyuan alive.
Don't want to die.
Now we can only rely on Tianyuan.
Although hand grenades can play a certain role, they only have a limited number of them.
As for explosive weapons, Tianyuan didn't dare to use them.
He was worried that the plants would not be killed, but they would be blown away instead.
These plants are hundreds of times more sensitive than them.
Unless someone throws explosive weapons in from outside, they will be destroyed together with these plants at such a close distance.
He doesn't want to explain it here.
Tian Yuan made a gesture, and Yan Weide and Duan Qifeng understood and immediately moved closer together.
The three of them stood back to back, and Tianyuan activated the enhanced invisibility rune and moved slowly, intending to escape the encirclement of the plants.
He used a rune that could temporarily silence people, as well as the forbidden technique he had practiced for many years, to block the breath of the three people, and only then did he successfully leave the plants' territory.
Maybe these guys were full, or because Tianyuan increased the amount of runes, they did not chase the three people.
After leaving the plants' attack range, Tianyuan was still feeling scared.
The three of them slumped on the ground, not even bothering to wipe the sweat from their foreheads.
Tianyuan looked at the mountain, and the wrinkles on his forehead deepened.
What is hidden in this mountain?
There are such strange plant guards.
It looks like a legend.
Those plants are almost like the spirits we talked about before.
Tianyuan felt that what he had learned at Xilan Temple could not explain everything he saw today.
Not only do plants violate the principles of growth, but they also actively attack anything that enters their territory. He just can't understand why.
After returning to a safe area, Yan Weide and Duan Qifeng found that water could be wrung out of their clothes.
The two people sitting paralyzed on the ground thought that they would become food for those plants, but fortunately they managed to escape.
If they told others about this experience, no one would believe it.
Tian Yuan: "Did you guys take pictures of the plants just now?"
When he first discovered the plant, Duan Qifeng took a photo. "I took it. Master, do you want to see it?"
After saying that, he handed the phone to Tianyuan.
Tianyuan slid the screen and felt something was wrong the more he looked.
He didn't know what plant spirits looked like, but feeding on flesh and blood was often mentioned in storybooks.
There must be something unusual about these Sikun Mountains, otherwise how could there be so many aggressive plants?
The essence of the sun and the moon, or is it man-made?
Tianyuan thought of the forbidden technique in his hand. He decided to return to the town and find the answer even at the risk of vomiting blood and shortening his life.
Tianyuan asked Duan Qifeng to send him the pictures and videos, and he would study them carefully after returning.
After resting for more than ten minutes, the three of them calmed down and decided to return to town.
On the way, Yan Weide gave Duan Qifeng a look and said, "Old Yan didn't tell us there would be these strange things here before we came. He only said the terrain was dangerous and asked us to be careful on our way."
Duan Qifeng was also told the same thing. He nodded in agreement, "I've really never heard of these strange things. They almost killed us."
The two of them still feel scared when they think about it.
Fortunately, Tianyuan is a master with real skills, otherwise they would probably have died here today.
Thinking of the fate of those people who came with them, the two of them shuddered again.
The two of them exchanged some words, and Tianyuan called the Yan family.
He found a place with signal and called Yan Jinxi.
The person who answered the phone was A Xing.
Tianyuan told Axing about the situation in Sikunshan. Now that Yan Jinxi could not move, he could only contact him.
Ah Xing passed on the situation and photos that Tianyuan told him to Yan Hongning. After learning that Tianyuan was safe, Yan Hongning asked Tianyuan to go back to Nanyuan first to wake up his father, and then send someone to go after his father woke up.
Since Xingyun Temple is guarded by such a powerful thing, it is impossible for other families to enter.
Let those treasures stay in the underground palace for a while, and Xingyun Temple will definitely belong to the Yan family in the end.
