Chapter 179 The Journey of the Demon Plant
A senior shadow repairer named Sixteen.

A high-level swordsman named Lei Shan.

A real person named Yu Huazi from the Taishang Sect.

A Xiaoyao Dao monk named Shangwu.

The identities of the members of this rescue team are somewhat mixed, but in Zhou Ning's eyes, there is a sense of déjà vu that the previous Cangren ruins expedition team reappeared in disguise.

Shiliu's role is somewhat similar to Hu Qi's, the initiator of the operation, and the scout in the team.

Lei Shan is a bit like Li Shi, a thug.

Yuhuazi is somewhat similar to Yao Jie, assisting and treating.

Shangwu is the only one who resembles Yu Qing, probably because they both like to drink bars.

Zhou Ning felt that the last team was a pure chopper team.

This one is more particular, it has milk and output, and Shangwu is said to be a meat shield. To be honest, Zhou Ning is more curious. He has a big gourd on his back and a small gourd on his waist. Hulu, I really can't see how to carry it, how to laugh at it.

"Then your Excellency is..."

Zhou Ning'Hula La'showed some burning methods: "Yun neutron, pyromancer."

Yun Zhongzi is Lei Zhenzi's master. When Juelongling intercepted and killed Wen Taishi, each of the eight god-reaching fire pillars released 49 Samadhi fire dragons, and he was called a first-class arsonist.

But in this world, Yanshu belongs to the power of the five elements, and the five elements divide yin and yang.

Yin-Yang and Five Elements have something to do with Yin-Yang Dao and Taishangjiao.

In the past thousand years, due to the increasing shortage of aura, more and more monks practice the power of the five elements.Even each Dao vein has corresponding branches.

After all, the requirements for extraordinary power are not so harsh, and it is easier to obtain cultivation resources.

As for the lack of familiarity with each other, it doesn't matter. There are related methods that originated from the oath system of Sanxian Mountain. There is still a basic trust between extraordinary people. No one will easily make fun of their own souls.

The team set off, the target, Taoyuan.

Zhou Ning didn't know the origin of the name 'Taoyuan', nor did he know what was waiting for the group of people there.

I don't bother to ask, I know what I should know when I get to the land, and it doesn't matter if I don't have a chance to know, it's nothing more than weird people and strange things, and fighting and killing.

For game veterans who have gone through this journey with the mentality of searching for knowledge, it is difficult to be amazed by any story, and it is better to browse the scenery along the way to have a sense of expectation.

For Zhou Ning, the scenery of the five and six places is still impressive.

The land bridge deep ravine lava river, giant mushroom forest crystal mountain, these are not worth mentioning.

The lava channel, the gravel paving, and the mushroom becoming fine, these are a bit interesting.

The lava channel can be called a whimsy and uncanny workmanship of nature. It is like an undersea tunnel with the function of an ocean exhibition hall. Walking in a tube-like channel, the surrounding area is completely surrounded by lava.Through the transparent membrane, the red lava looks real.

This is much more exciting than walking on a high-altitude glass bridge.

Even if a group of people have prepared corresponding protective measures, they will not be burned alive if they fall into the lava; even if Zhou Ning is driving the Lihuo Dharma Body, the temperature of the lava is just a slightly hotter bathing pool for him.

Can still feel flustered, bottomless.

This is the fear derived from the instinct of life.

What's more, lava not only has the characteristics of high-temperature combustion, but also has the characteristics of airtight high pressure and liquid flow. Once lost in the lava, just thinking about the scene is scary.

Of course, what is even more miraculous is the formation of the lumen, which is not artificial, but a natural creation, with extraordinary characteristics, without personal experience, even if others tell him that there is such a miracle, he will think it is bragging.

Shashi, a kind of radiant stone that can emit different luster, most of them are like pebbles in some rivers, and can be seen everywhere.

The entire tunnel or dome, reflecting the jewels.

Form a kind of stuff called light evil.

Zhou Ning feels that this is atypical light pollution, even worse than the famous neon light pollution of Cyberpunk.

His consciousness was almost trapped in this dreamlike precious light. It was the system warning, and he passed the test after drinking the potion sold in the system store.

It can only be said that based on his mental state, he is suspected of seeking abuse if he comes below five places.

As for the growth of mushrooms, when he followed Li Shi, the captain of the hunting team of Lijia Town, to visit the spar mine, he encountered a systematic warning, saying that there were extraordinary spores in the mine, and the toxicity was fatal to him at that time.

Later, in the Jing prison three places, this kind of situation was not encountered.

After attacking the demon pinworms of the evil stone clan in Xinzhou, they did not encounter similar problems.

This concept gradually faded away, but it was awakened here.

Witnessing the power of these spores with his own eyes, Jianxiu Leishan almost became a mushroom seedbed.

A layer of multicolored mushrooms suddenly appeared on the skin exposed to the air. If it wasn't for the fact that its willpower was high enough, and it was unwavering in the face of anomalies, its body would have been crippled immediately.

After being taught to be a man, this swordsman didn't dare to continue to be arrogant. He used special protective gear, which looked like he was wearing a full set of chemical protective clothing.

Zhou Ning has no such worries. What he controls is Lihuo. The combustion area can be large or small. When it is small, a one-inch-thick combustion layer will be formed on the body surface. The area remained incinerated.

The spores are often full of holes, which means that the number of fungi is not low.

This is indeed the case. I met several times along the way, and suddenly became a popular actor.

Moreover, these strange creatures with external deformities don't have a fatal point, they can be ooze monsters in the form of glue blocks.

Because of this feature, Lei Shan's flying sword encountered invisible taunts, and it was still active after being chopped into slag, and tried to re-bond and combine. It had to be burned to ashes with energy flames before it was finished.

So later, Zhou Ning simply acted as a scavenger. When encountering the mushroom essence, he directly ignited + ignited it, and burned it thoroughly from inside to outside. Annoying drama.

After several hours of trekking, Taoyuan finally appeared in front of Zhou Ning.

It is located in a huge, abyssal subterranean vault.

Surrounded by staggered fang-like rocks, there are also a large number of cone-shaped stalactites on the top.

Anyway, in Zhou Ning's eyes, the sense of security is extremely poor.

But he noticed some details, such as the large number of runes etched into these rocks.

Therefore, he guessed that these rocks are not only harmless to the residents here, but also beneficial, and they are a setting for them to protect their own safety.

At the very least, it can provide a warning effect.

Because they had just entered this area, in the small town of Taoyuan, someone came out of the room with a weapon and looked towards them with a cold expression.

Compared with these underground people with strange bones and ancient appearance, who seem to have stopped halfway through the evolution of ape-man, Zhou Ning is more concerned about the plants planted here, the magic peach.

Under the natural and deliberately generated cold light, these peach trees with scarlet leaves swayed there like a slow dance, dancing without wind, and streamers appeared on their surfaces from time to time. Disappeared, quite eye-catching.

He felt that Taoyuan's word '桃' probably came from this.

In this temporary team, he originally thought that Shang Wu was the one who suffered from social cow beeping and was in charge of foreign negotiations as a matter of course.

After all, he was the one who talked a lot along the way, showing a bit of familiarity, and he was not greasy or routine.

In the end, when the matter came to an end, the negotiator was Yingxiu Shiliu, who had always kept a straight face.

The sense of sight given to Zhou Ning is a saying that he knew when watching gossip shows in his previous life:
It is said that those comedians who are well-known by the general public are not usually fun people, or even serious ones. They only appear to be very happy when they need to perform on the stage, and they are full of jokes...

Shiliu's negotiation ability is obviously practiced on purpose. Ordinary people can't be as decent as him. Facing Shiliu's speech skills and body language, Taoyuan's underground people are flattered by honesty, and they are simply compared. The appalling.

From the very beginning, it was short of writing 'foreigners and foreigners should die' on their faces.

It didn't take long, and it became "the people in the ditch are the most hospitable and willing to entertain outsiders with the best things".

What's the best thing about Taoyuan?

Of course it is a magic peach.

The magic peach is naturally not comparable to the magic flat peach, but it is also very good.After fruiting, as long as you don't pick it, it can continue to mature, and it has special curative effects, including but not limited to prolonging life.

Like ginseng fruit, one for each person.

Shiliu did not refuse the hospitality of the underground people, but he winked at his teammates while eating the peach, and then ate the peach, revealing the peach pit to show respect.

"Strange custom, isn't this embarrassing my fat tiger? I am single, and my ventriloquism is very average!" Complaints are complaints, and finally the pulp and core are peeled off without the juice overflowing.

After eating the peaches, there is also a tree planting ceremony. I don't know if the players are out of their minds. Anyway, Zhou Ning always feels that this ceremony is like burying and erecting a monument.

And couldn't help but think: "If this big peach grove came from this way, it would be very close to the old family's way of burying and planting willows in the previous life."

Finally, this effort was rewarded, and Shiliu got the information he wanted.

Immediately, under the banner of saving people like a fire, he left Taoyuan Town.

The next step is to step into the field of ashes.

This wilderness of ashes easily reminded Zhou Ning of the environment he had set up in the Jing Prison three places.

It is also a huge, empty, barren, and desolate underground world.

The natural stone pillars, connected to the sky and the earth, spread unevenly, like the palace of the Titans, making the whole area more stable, and will not easily collapse due to earthquakes and other reasons.

It's just that, compared to the environment in the three places of Jing Prison, which was ravaged by devil crickets and turned into an underground desert, this place is another kind of barren.

Ashes, Zhou Ning thinks it is not as good as sand.

Zhou Ning also couldn't see whether the ash-like, snow-like, half-leg-deep harsh environment was man-made or natural.

The only thing that can be determined is that this environment has been formed in the past few hundred years, because of the existence of ancient river channels, the current travel route of the group is the ancient river channels.

There is almost no wind, and the deep gullies formed by the perennial flow of the ancient river are still almost filled today, which is the power of time.

Sixteen found a big rock and landed on the flying boat, expressing that he had something to say.

"Fellow daoists, the person we want to save is probably already dead."

Lei Shan asked, "Why did you say that?"

Yuhuazi also asked, "Is it because of the magic peach?"

Shiliu took out a jade tablet, and Zhou Ning saw that the exquisitely carved jade tablet had been broken, and the central part was bright red.

The life card is similar to the soul lamp. If the life card is broken, it means that the person is gone.

Lei Shan asked again: "When did it happen?"

"Before eating peaches."

"So, this peach..." Yuhuazi asked again.

"I don't know if there is any necessary connection between falling and doing as the Romans do. But be careful, it's always right."

When everyone thinks about it, it makes sense.

Sixteenth said: "I pulled up this team for the purpose of saving people. Now that the people are gone, the main purpose is lost. If anyone intends to withdraw, I will pay ten middle-grade spirit stones as travel expenses."

This price is already not low, reaching one-third of the basic employment salary.

Shang Wu stated: "Although the person is gone, the matter should be investigated clearly. If Taoyuan cheated people, it is impossible to do a fight."

Lei Shan echoed: "Fellow martial artist, what you say makes sense."

Yuhuazi said: "Xuanmen is connected with each other, so we should watch over and help each other."

Zhou Ning: "Let's continue."

So the group set off again.A little over an hour later at the Great Gap.

Sixteen explained to the four people: "The minions of the heavenly demon have been entrenched underground in the country of Yu for many years.

With the sacrifice of hundreds of millions of souls in the Yu Kingdom and the creation of the Chaos Realm, these minions also benefited and became more and more rampant.

I used to respond to the Taoist call with a few Taoist friends to eradicate the evil. During a certain operation, I happened to encounter an underground person who was hunted down by the minions of the demon. After rescue, we became friends.

Later, we acted together a few times. Due to the presence of underground teammates, our strategy and tactics were somewhat deflected.

For example, we will rescue the underground people and act together with the underground people, so that we can more effectively fight against the devil's minions.

Because of this, we gradually learned how to deal with underground people.

Before the Zongmen summoned me, I left for more than a month, and encountered a series of changes when I came back."

As he spoke, Sixteen took out a few flying letters and handed them to Zhou Ning.

Only then did Zhou Ning realize that Sixteen was mainly explaining the ins and outs to him this time.

It must be said that it felt very comfortable.

Zhou Ning quickly read the letter.

This letter was not written all at once.

It's a bit like the modern text message usage. If it's worth writing a few sentences, then write a few sentences, and then send them via Fetion in a secret way.

According to the letter, the minions of the Heavenly Demon are also planning to attack the Demon Pantao.

Shiliu's good buddy feels that this thing cannot fall into the hands of the minions of the demon, and it is better to strike first.

Probably this is the background.

Not to mention any noteworthy details.

Mainly two:
1. It is Taoyuan's magic peach, this kind of plant is obviously different from ordinary underground plants, and Shiliu's good buddy also thought it was a bit strange at first.

However, there are underground people in the exploration team, and some customs of the underground people are rather strange. The sixteen-year-old buddies don't look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face, so they go to the village to do as the Romans do.

But turning around, he recorded the matter and informed Shiliu through Fetion.

2. The big rift.According to this buddy Sixteen, the group went down first, but they almost died.

The reason is that in the depths of the big rift, there is a mysterious environment. To put it bluntly, it is equivalent to the area of ​​death and magic, or the area of ​​​​magic violence. Suddenly, it is possible to lose the extraordinary.

Imagine that you are riding a flying boat with ease, and suddenly your extraordinary power fails...

This is also the reason why Shiliu's buddies turned back to Taoyuan for supplies.
The last flying letter was sent during this period. Under the environment of breaking the mystery, the flying letter secret method cannot be used.

Zhou Ning returned the letter to Shiliu, saying: "Since it is such a chaotic environment with extraordinary power, I will simply go on and take my flying boat."

Zhou Ning made several small changes to the flying boat during the operation of opening the map of the human country for more than half a year.

This is part of his improvement as a qualified traveler.

But these small changes are still not enough to deal with the current situation.

Fortunately, Zhou Ning has a system that can temporarily add pendants to the flying boat.

So the airship became an airship.

The steel airship, the metal levitation capsule of the cartoon fat shark model, specially added the fluorescent painting of the toothed shark on the front end, which looks a little funny and silly.

Playing games, you can't expect Zhou Ning to always be a gloomy dog ​​who will occasionally let go of his inner turmoil.

The flying boat becomes a hanging basket on the hull.

In this way, whether there is extraordinary or not, it will fly right.
