From the advent of the mountains and seas

Chapter 78
The size of the tree house is no more than the size of an ordinary bedroom, and it is extremely simple.

Not to mention a full set of furniture in the house, there is not even a bed, only a log table, and fluorescent green lights made of fireflies hanging from the ceiling, barely providing a weak light source.

The tree man walked into the house first, and looked at the three people standing at the door with surprised expressions.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. He curled up in the corner of the wall and buried his head in his arms.

"Um, this must be the legendary log style, which is very popular in the market now."

Seeing that the tree man was about to fall into a state of autism, An Jing gave a dry cough, and hurried forward to praise him,

"Simple but not simple, it must be the best interpretation of the word light luxury."

The tree man raised his head and looked at the two people next to An Jing with empty eye sockets.

Tang Ruosheng and Lu Qinghan had no choice but to echo a few words, and then the tree man regained his vitality and sat cross-legged next to the round table.

The exchanges along the way gave An Ding and the others a basic understanding of the situation on the island.

Now is the time to discuss the next steps.

Thinking of this, the eyes of the three of them turned to the tree man in unison.

"You said that you are the experimental subject being studied. You must have stayed in the place where the monks developed the elixir. There must be a building similar to the tower on the island. Where are the residences of the Taoists? Do you know?"

Holding the bamboo slips in his arms, Tang Ruosheng looked at the tree man and asked.

Just because the tree people didn't know the research details of the monks, it didn't mean that the Taoists didn't know.

In fact, Tang Ruosheng suspected that the Taoist disciples were transformed from the monks back then, and they were probably still researching the elixir.

"I know that there are several steep mountains in the center of the island. They are very close and connected to each other. The Taoists spent hundreds of years transforming them into living palaces, and the fairy residence is on the peak. top."

After all, he had been on the island for many years, the tree man gave the answer after a little thought, and added,
"I remember that the palace should have been built later, and the Taoists were in it most of the time."

"Heaven and man are one, refine Qi and live forever, choose caves and heavens and blessed places. If it is just normal research, you don't need to spend a hundred years doing such thankless things. I think the palaces where Taoists live are very likely to have hidden secrets to keep them alive. Hundreds of years of secrets."

Tang Ruosheng shook the bamboo slips in his hand and expressed his opinion.

It is impossible for ordinary people to build a palace on a high mountain, and only Taoists who have mastered "Qi" can control giants to create this special building. There must be something extremely important inside that needs their protection .

"The problem is that with our current combat power, it may not be so easy to enter the palace. Once discovered by Taoists, it will be too dangerous."

Putting Nuan Dong beside him, An Jing raised his hands and kneaded his shoulders. The soreness in his muscles that had disappeared from the effect of accumulating evil spirits made him feel extremely uncomfortable. Thinking of the battle tonight, his brows were furrowed.

They have just seen the strength of Taoists.

In terms of individual combat power alone, it is even stronger than the deer head monster.

This is nothing, An Jing and Lu Qinghan teamed up, enough to fight.

The real trouble is their ability to control giants.

Not to mention the heavy casualties of the fleet at the moment, there were not a single soldier in the camp, and many senior officials of Beizhen Fusi who had withdrawn with them were killed, and the high-end combat power was repeatedly reduced.

"How many Taoists are there?"

Tang Ruosheng looked at the tree man, hoping to get an exact number.

"As far as I know, there are five. I don't know if there have been more in these years."

As soon as these words came out, An Jing and Lu Qinghan both clicked their tongues in unison, their eyes met, and they both saw troublesome expressions on each other's faces.

The number of Taoists has exceeded the limit they can fight now.

"There is another way. There are three fleets on the island. Nanzhen Fusi has already broken the rules when he attacked us. Zhao Jinzhong's covering up the remnants of the Manyue Kingdom is collaborating with the enemy and treason. Let's find Qianniuwei and cooperate with them."

After thinking for a while, Lu Qinghan had no choice but to change his mind and seek cooperation with another fleet.

What Nanzhen Fusi did undoubtedly exceeded the scope of competition. If he wanted to turn defeat into victory, seeking foreign aid was the only option.

Qianniuwei, as the emperor's personal guard, needless to say his loyalty.

Both An Jing and Tang Ruosheng nodded in agreement.

In the current situation, stiff necks are causing trouble for himself, and the cooperation between Fusi Nanzhen and the remnants of the Manyue Kingdom has broken the bottom line.

"Go to the grassland early tomorrow to collect the escaped people, and then move closer to the Qianniuwei fleet. With the information we have, the progress will only be faster than that group of bastards who only know about sneak attacks!"

Seeing the heavy casualties of his subordinates, Lu Qinghan's anger needless to say.

But at this moment, the tree man raised his hand and asked,
"The Qianniuwei you are talking about, are those people who landed on the west side of the island?"

"Have you seen it?"

The three fleets each chose a direction to land, and Qianniuwei's landing point was indeed in the west.

"I just saw two giants carrying Taoists there. Now they should be cleaning the battlefield. The situation is probably similar to yours."

The Ent fell back on the floor and groaned.

Obviously, Nanzhen Fusi was not the only one who tried to take advantage of the fact that they had just landed on the island. The Taoists also seized the opportunity and tried to destroy the three fleets in one night in order to collect a large number of living pills. Material.

Nanzhen Fusi's night attack created extremely favorable conditions for them.

"It's over, Baijiu, you all knew that you should go to the palace to try your luck while you are fighting. Maybe you can find something useful. Now that everyone is dead, how can you beat the Taoists?"

The tree man curled up into a ball, and vines grew on the surface of his body to wrap himself up.

This guy must have been alone on the island for too long, and he has mental problems, and he will be autistic if he doesn't go well.

Of course, the current situation of Lu Qinghan and Tang Ruosheng is not much better.

The incident happened suddenly, and the friends who were still fighting side by side or doing research together during the day, the subordinates suffered heavy casualties and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

On the contrary, An Jing, the saha walker, remained calm.

"There is another way. If you want to enter the temple, you don't have to rely on a frontal attack."

An Jing tapped his fingers on the table, drawing Kazuki's attention, and said,
"Don't forget, there are three fleets landing on the island, and in order to sneak attack us, Nanzhen Fusi must have a large number of people leaving the camp and lurking outside, which means that even if their station is attacked by Taoists, they will retain a large number of viable forces .”

The sound of arrows raised outside the camp earlier, coupled with the performance of Yinzhu and others in the battle, convinced An Jing that the Nanzhen Fusi's team was hiding in the jungle near the beach at that time, ready to launch a surprise attack and take over the camp at any time.

In fact, they were only one step away from success.

Although they were interrupted by the giants controlled by the Taoists, they were the first to notice the danger. With Beizhen Fusi attracting the attention of the Taoists and the giants, it was not difficult for this group of people to evacuate.

"You mean to let them attract the attention of Taoists, and we sneak into the palace?"

Lu Qinghan quickly understood what An Jing meant.

"That's right, right now our goal is to figure out the secret of the elixir, not to kill the Taoists. As long as we find a way to make Nanzhen Fusi and the latter break out in conflict, we will have a chance to take advantage of the fire!"

After all, the ultimate goal of the three fleets coming to Penglai Island is unity.

Fusi Nanzhen relied on Taoist priests and giants to eliminate competitors, but eventually he had to return to the route of finding the elixir. Sooner or later, they would have conflicts with Taoist priests, and this was An Jing's chance.

win or lose

Nanzhen Fusi, who has preserved his strength, is undoubtedly qualified to fight the Taoists, and he can contain them no matter how bad they are
An Jing hopes to control the timing and location of conflicts, and this requires the cooperation of a key person.

"Brother Shuren, you shouldn't have had any conflicts with the Fusi people in Nanzhen before, right?"

Looking at the autistic tree man next to him, An Jing moved his buttocks to get closer, patted its shoulder, and said softly,
"Based on how familiar you are with the island, you shouldn't have any difficulty finding them, right?"

".It shouldn't be difficult. What do you want to do?"

Part of the branches and leaves on the tree man's face faded, and he tilted his head to look at An Jing, not understanding what he meant.

"Since you can save us and provide us with the direction of action, why can't you find a chance to get on line with Nanzhen Fusi?"

"Their group of people must not be able to fight the Taoist disciples. They only know how to kill each other. I am afraid that after knowing that the Taoist disciples have five things that can control giants, they will immediately think of fleeing from Penglai Island. There is no use looking for them."

"They don't know how many Taoists there are, don't they?

An Jing ignored the tree man's complaints, leaned closer and whispered "bewitching",

"As long as you lure them to the vicinity of the palace, it will not be so easy for them to escape if they want to fight. They will inevitably entangle and fight with Taoists. Then it will be our chance. As long as we can sneak into the palace, we will have a way to help you get the alchemy. Qi method!"

Since Nanzhen Fusi dared to be the first grader, An Jing would naturally be able to be the fifteenth grader.

They could have thought of using a large group of humanoid monsters to rush into battle and assassinate Lu Qinghan to seize power, and An Jing could use the tree man to lure them into another trap!
It's nothing more than repaying the other with the way of the other.

"That makes sense, I'm leaving now."

Hearing that there is a chance to get the Qi refining method, the tree man jumped up immediately, and was about to run out immediately.

As a result, An Jing grabbed his arm halfway through the run.
"You have to tell us where the palace where the Taoists live is and how to get there, so that we can cooperate with you!"

The place where the Taoists gathered was dangerous without even thinking about it. An Jing didn't want to wait for the Nanzhen Fusi to fight and they were discovered first.

"No problem, I'll draw the route for you. I've figured out the situation around there a long time ago."

The tree man casually pulled the wooden boards that acted as windows as blueprints, sketched them with charcoal, and told the three of them how to get to the mountain palace, using the tower and the grass as references.

"The palace is in the air. You have to climb the tree first and jump up the nearby cliff. There are many monsters wandering there, so pay special attention."

While leaning over to outline the lines, the tree man also tried his best to explain a few key points that need attention.
"By the way, when you lurk in, you can pay more attention to one place, the tiankeng full of flowers, there is a place where Taoists refine living pills, maybe you can save your companions."

It took half an hour before the wooden map was finally completed.

"I will bring those people to the front of the palace. You can observe from a high place first, and then sneak into the palace after fighting. You must remember to look for Qi refining methods. Those exercises were developed by the great monks back then. You Two can also be cultivated."

Probably because An Jing and Lu Qinghan were only thinking of finding the elixir, before the tree man left, he specifically asked to get the Qi Refining Method and said that An Jing and Lu Qinghan could also practice it.

These words really caught An Jing's attention.

In the previous battle with the deer head monster, it clearly mentioned that An Jing's evil spirit is also "qi".

An Jing relied on Qiong Qi's life soul to condense the evil spirit, and now the use of it is really superficial, except for the body quenching of the tiger, and the side effect of the evil spirit is the best proof.

If it is said that the method of refining qi can really allow ordinary people to practice.

Can he use this opportunity to obtain a special skill?
After the tree man explained, he left the tree house directly. Nanzhen Fusi was attacked tonight, which is the most suitable time to contact him.

"Can this guy be trusted?
When the tree man disappeared into the forest, Lu Qinghan, who was leaning against the window of the tree house, turned around and asked,

"Aren't you afraid that it will directly cooperate with Nanzhen Fusi and sell us instead?"

"Don't worry, it's not as stupid as it looks. We are the weak side now and we need it, so we cooperate with it and cooperate with its actions. Nanzhen Fusi is undoubtedly the strong side, and Shuren has no qualifications at all." Work with them."

An Jing leaned back against the wall of the tree house, said with a sigh of relief,
"Besides, Nanzhen Fusi can't really beat Taoists now. Shuren knows very well that our plan has the highest success rate."

An old monster that can survive on the island for hundreds of years.

Among other things, judging the situation has probably become its instinct long ago.

　there will be later
