Chapter 569 Cocoon Valley and Blood Fly Silkworm
  When Baihua Witch saw Fang Dushu stop, she also stopped beside her and asked: "Has the bell sensed the location of the pagoda bell?"

Fang Dushu nodded, turned around and pointed: "This bell points in another direction, let's take a detour and take a look."

Entering Kun-Lai Island this time, the two had clear goals.

The first thing is to find the secret fire cave, go to refine the relics, and force the relic heart ape to appear. After suppressing it, let the relic heart ape go to salvage the intercepting branches and half of the Xia Xia Dan.

This was the method given to Fang Dushu by the Baihua Witch to suppress the Heart Monkey when he captured the relic.

Originally, Fang Dushu was worried that the Secret Fire Cave would be occupied by monks from Kun-Lai Island and did not intend to take the risk, but after the Dragon Tiger Beast advanced to become a god, it gave him the confidence to search for the cave.

According to what Baihua Witch knew, the Secret Fire Cave was located on the island where the two of them were currently staying. After entering Chaotian Palace, the direction they headed straight towards was the Secret Fire Cave.

After finding the Secret Fire Cave and refining the relics, the two of them will continue to the next island and land, heading to the Tongtian River to collect the divine water for rebirth.

Whether it is the Secret Fire Cave or the Divine Water of Rebirth, the Baihua Witch has the exact location. Fang Dushu can easily find the specific location just by letting her lead the way.

As for the pagoda bell, since the trace cannot be determined, Fang Dushu plans to use the bell to sense it along the way. If it cannot be sensed, he will not search for it for the time being. Anyway, the priority of this trip is the Secret Fire Cave and the Divine Water of Rebirth. .

But he never expected that the whereabouts of the pagoda bell would be detected as soon as he entered the island.

Since the pagoda bell was the closest to him, he naturally didn't want to miss it.

The Witch of Flowers had no objection and immediately changed direction and followed him to find the clock.

The entire island and continent are covered with undulating mountain terrain. The two traveled hundreds of miles between the mountains and ridges, hovering on the outskirts of a mountainous area filled with blood mist.

"We're here!" Fang Dushu had been holding the bell to sense the distance of the pagoda bell, and he added: "The pagoda bell is hidden under this blood mist."

"It's actually here!" The Hundred Flowers Witch looked worried, as if she was worried about something.

"Do you recognize the landforms here?" Fang Dushu noticed something strange about her and asked, "The gathering of monsters in this mountain is the training territory of a certain monster cultivator?"

The Witch of Flowers did not answer this question. She lowered her hand and took the black peony at her feet into the air. She shrunk it and held it in her palm.

She pointed at the black peony and asked Fang Dushu: "Master, do you remember that I once mentioned to you that this black peony was originally born on Kun-Lai Island. It was hunted for some reason and then escaped from Kun-Lai. Island, finally taking root in the world of appreciating flowers and cultivating immortals?”

Fang Dushu remembered it very clearly: "When you talked about the origin of the Black Peony, you were not particularly sure. You just discovered a Black Peony ruins on Kun-Lai Island, and then speculated that the Black Peony was born on Kun-Lai Island. "

The Witch of Flowers immediately pointed to the blood mist ahead: "This foggy mountain is called 'Cocoon Valley', and it is exactly where the previous Witch of Flowers discovered the ruins of Black Peony!"

Fang Dushu looked quite surprised when he heard this: "You mean, Black Peony was first born in this valley? But why is it called 'Cocoon Valley' instead of 'Hundred Flowers Valley'?"

The Flower Witch explained: "Because there is a silkworm cocoon corpse sealed in the valley. This cocoon is spit out by the ancient poisonous insect 'Bloodfly Silkworm'. The 'Bloodfly Silkworm' is the natural enemy of our flower cultivation. Wherever its cocoons appear, all flowers and plants will Turn into ashes!”

Fang Dushu had never heard of any natural enemies of the Grass Spirit Tree Monster, but judging from the worried expression of the Flower Witch, she should be afraid of the 'Bloodfly Silkworm'. Even if it was not a natural enemy, it had been in the 'Bloodfly Silkworm' Silkworm' has suffered a big loss on his hands.

He said: "If this kind of blood silkworm is really your natural enemy, then the reason why Black Peony fled Kun-Lai Island back then must have been because of being chased by the blood silkworm, right?"

The Baihua Witch's tone was uncertain: "It's possible. In fact, the Blood Fly Silkworm has died long ago. It only has a broken cocoon left in the valley. There are many murals from ancient times sealed in the cocoon. The paintings reveal that there are The figure of Black Peony was discovered by Kun-Lai Island cultivators and spread out. When the previous Witch of Flowers heard about this, she sneaked into the cocoon to inquire about the situation, so she identified it as the ruins of Black Peony!"

The fall of Black Peony was so long ago that it has long been impossible to verify why it fell. The previous Witches of Flowers can only speculate based on the only clues.

The Cocoon Valley in front of us is the only Black Peony ruins discovered by the Witch of Flowers. However, there is still a lot of doubt as to whether this ruins is the birthplace of Black Peony.

Fang Dushu stopped asking further and began to trace the whereabouts of the pagoda bell: "Is the blood mist all over the mountain caused by the remains of the cocoon?"

The blood mist radiates over hundreds of miles of mountainous areas. This distance is not difficult for Yuanying monks to detect, but the blood mist contains magical power that can prevent spiritual consciousness from penetrating.

Fang Dushu cast a spell to enter, and his spiritual consciousness could extend for several miles at most. He couldn't see the whole picture of this 'Cocoon Valley', so he casually summoned the dragon and tiger beast to explore the way for him.

While listening to the Witch of Hundred Flowers say: "The mountain fog is indeed caused by the blood energy of silkworm cocoons. However, apart from isolating spiritual consciousness, the cocoon energy has no harm to human cultivation. It can only suppress the blood of grass flowers!"

"Oh, how to suppress it?"

"Low-level flower cultivators accidentally enter the blood mist, and their body will be directly corroded and fester. Although high-level flower cultivators can resist the blood mist, their mana will not function smoothly. If they stay in the mist for too long, there is a risk of fainting, and... "

"And what?"

"The Cocoon Valley is covered with silk. The deeper you go into the valley, the denser the silk becomes. Once the body of a flower is entangled in silk, it will immediately be sucked dry of the flower's blood!"

"The situation is so dangerous. The previous Witch of Flowers dared to explore the valley. She was very brave! Is silk harmful to human cultivation?"

"Originally it does not harm people's body, but this is ancient silk. There is demonic power left in the silk, which can actively wrap around the human body. Due to the toughness of the silk, if unfortunately it is entangled when entering the valley, it will be difficult to break free from the silk net. Therefore, the island Master Xiu occasionally goes into the valley to explore, but he never dares to stay for a long time!"

There used to be many Kun-Lai monks who took a fancy to the topography of Cocoon Valley and thought that Cocoon was a natural barrier and very suitable for use as a protective barrier, so they wanted to open Cocoon Valley into a secluded dojo.

Unfortunately, these monks were never able to control the silk and had no choice but to give up.

Today, the Cocoon Valley has become a well-known dangerous area on Kun-Lai Island. The treasures in the valley have been looted long ago. No one visits the valley on a daily basis, but occasionally monsters will flow into the valley.

At this moment, the Dragon Tiger Beast detected the environment in the valley and happened to find the figure of a demon cultivator.

After Fang Dushu listened to the feedback from the dragon and tiger beast, he said to the Flower Witch: "There is a blood spider sitting at the bottom of the valley. It seems that it is not afraid of silk. Instead, it builds a web nest on the silk and uses this valley as its habitat!"

The Witch of Hundred Flowers was not surprised: "The corpses of silkworm cocoons under the Broken Cocoon Valley had extremely strong demonic powers during their lifetimes. The cocoons have not decayed yet and are still emitting blood. If the demon clan has been sucking blood all year round, there is a chance that they will inherit a trace of the 'Bloodfly Silkworm' Of blood, in the past, island cultivators came to explore, and they could often meet mutated demon cultivators in the valley!"

That blood spider is obviously the mutated demon.

Fang Dushu said: "I suspect that the pagoda bell was accidentally picked up by this spider and brought here to hide. I want to dive to the bottom of the valley to search!"

The Witch of Hundred Flowers hesitated: "Master, my cultivation is only at the Nascent Soul stage, and I don't have the strength to break into the valley. Once I enter the blood mist, my magic power will be weakened by [-] to [-]%. Following you into the valley will only be a drag!" 　　　 "I didn't say that. Let you follow!"

Fang Dushu's figure flashed, his body separated from the thunderbolt sword body, and he pinched his fingers to cast a spell, turning the sword body into the form of a flying sword, "I can't enter the valley myself, just this flying sword is enough!"

Because the Thunderbolt Sword Spirit was lost outside, the Thunderbolt Sword body became an empty shell. Outsiders could not see through the sword body's cultivation. The Hundred Flowers Witch was also confused. She was very curious about the identity of the sword body. It could not only evolve into a human body, but also act as Fang Dushu's. The clone can actually evolve into a flying sword and use it as a weapon for Fang Dushu to fight.

When she was surprised, the Thunderbolt Sword body had already plunged into the blood mist of Cocoon Valley under the control of Fang Dushu.

After flying for dozens of miles in the valley, the Thunderbolt Sword reached the sky above the Blood Spider, and suddenly plummeted down to the bottom of the valley, piercing the Blood Spider's head with one sword.

This spider was only at the Golden Core level and could not withstand the blow of the Thunderbolt Sword.

Fang Dushu originally thought that it would be easy to attack and kill spiders, and it would not be difficult to follow the clues to find the spider's nest. But the next moment, he suddenly got excited! A look of surprise appeared on his face.

At this moment, the Baihua Witch accompanied Fang Dushu to lie on a barren mountain outside the Cocoon Valley. Her consciousness was limited and she could not see the slightest trace of the Thunderbolt Sword body. She also could not see the location of the blood spider, so she asked: "Master, have you discovered What happened?"

Fang Dushu nodded: "There is more than one blood spider at the bottom of the valley, but there is a female and a male. The female spider is still low in cultivation. It is entrenched at the entrance of the cocoon. It should be patrolling!"

"Where's Xiongzhu?"

"The male spider was hiding inside the cocoon. When I killed the female spider just now, it showed its head for a moment, but did not dare to meet my flying sword. It quickly retracted into the cocoon. I want my sword to go in and take a look! "

Fang Dushu's spiritual consciousness attached to the body of the thunderbolt sword and slowly came to the entrance of the cocoon.

The entire cocoon extends for several miles, lying in the deepest part of the valley.

Because the cocoon has been dusty for too long, the surface has already evolved into rough rock, and now only its huge oval shape can be seen.

Fang Dushu used the thunderbolt sword to hover at one end of the cocoon, where a crack of more than ten feet high appeared, looking like a stone gate.

Fang Dushu peered through the stone door and could only see densely packed silk, either horizontally or vertically, filling the air, forming irregular silk nets that sealed the cave space inside the cocoon layer by layer.

This is like a pansi cave.

In the first half of the cave, although the silk is densely packed, there are many broken marks, and the broken terrain of pits and pits can be seen everywhere on the ground and walls.

After Fang Dushu looked at it, he guessed that these were the traces left by the monks from Kun-Lai Island who used magic to bombard the silkworm caves when they came to explore in the past.

These monks had opened a passage in the silkworm cave, and Fang Dushu let the Thunderbolt Sword follow the route, successfully avoiding the silk entanglement.

As a result, after the Thunderbolt Sword moved forward for two or three miles, the surrounding silk suddenly gathered and swarmed towards the sword. Fang Dushu was well prepared and immediately activated the Zhuxian Electric Escape of the Thunderbolt Sword and moved out of the silk mesh in time.

After moving like this three or five times, he finally found the male spider in the silkworm cave.

This is a spider cultivator with profound demonic power. Its appearance is the same as that of the blood spider just now, except that its head has transformed into a human head. Its cultivation has entered the Nascent Soul stage. It has the ability to completely transform, but it deliberately retains some of the The spider body makes it easy to walk on the cave full of silk.

I saw it lying sideways on a silk net, glaring fiercely at the Thunderbolt Sword body, not taking the initiative to attack, nor shrinking back in fear.

Fang Dushu confronted it for a moment, then suddenly activated the power of his sword and turned it into a bolt of lightning and flew towards it.

When it was approaching about ten feet in front of it, a bell sounded suddenly, instantly curbing the speed of the flying sword. The sound wave seemed to contain the power of stabilizing the body, freezing the thunderbolt sword in mid-air, making it impossible to get any closer to it.

"Buddha Bell!"

Fang Dushu immediately recognized the origin of the bell, but before he could react, the surrounding silk threads had swept across again, densely wrapping around the body of the Thunderbolt Sword.

This time, the sword body's Zhu Xian Electric Escape had no dodge effect. It was caught by the silk. In the blink of an eye, it was wrapped into a twist, tightly entangled in the same place, and could no longer move.

Even if Fang Dushu unleashed the sword power of the Thunderbolt Sword Body to its limit, he could not destroy the silk restraint.

When the male spider saw Feijian being suppressed, there was a hint of sarcasm on his face, and then he turned around and crawled away. There was a silk door woven more than ten feet away. When the male spider quickly climbed into the door, the silk door automatically shrank, and it healed quickly. Silk seamless.

The moment Fang Dushu closed the silk door, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the bloody clock body of the Pagoda Bell, floating in the air inside the silk door.

The target has been found, but how to get the clock?
  Fang Dushu let his spiritual consciousness detach from the Thunderbolt Sword body and temporarily returned to his true body.

"My flying sword is trapped!"

He turned his head and looked at the Witch of Flowers: "My flying sword can release the magic lightning of killing immortals. It has always been indestructible. But today it encountered silk and was unable to break it. It seems that what you said is true. The silk of the blood fly silkworm is indeed tough. Unparalleled!"

Whether his Green Lotus Sword could cut the silk threads was uncertain at this time.

He wanted to give the sword a try, but if the Qinglian Sword continued to be trapped, how would he rescue it?

The Witch of Flowers was afraid of the blood silk, so she was helpless and unable to give Fang Dushu any advice.

Fang Dushu pondered for a while, then reached out and took off the insect bag from his waist. This bag contained his group of crystal silkworms. He planned to release the crystal silkworms and sneak into the silkworm cave to try again.

It has been more than two hundred years since Qin Hongyao hatched the crystal silkworms. In fact, he did not take care of much. During daily retreats, the silkworms were raised by his disciples Qin Fuhu and Fang Chuncan. At first, there were only more than a hundred silkworms. The number has now increased to thousands.

However, the progress of the silkworms is extremely slow. They have only transformed once so far, and they have realized the talent of breathing crystal flames. Fang Dushu does not know whether they can break the silk imprisonment of the blood fly silkworms.

He first released more than ten crystal silkworms to confirm.

As a result, the swarm of silkworms became extremely excited after escaping into the blood mist. They even took the initiative to find the cocoon at the bottom of the valley without Fang Dushu's command, and swarmed into the entrance.

After they saw the silk, they began to spit out crystal flames. While spitting fire, they climbed up the silk body and opened their mouths to devour it.
