Create the heavens and the world

Chapter 18 Plant Essence
Only ten miles away from the Weeping Blood City, Zhou Tianci saw the endless forest stretching to the south. Under the setting sun, countless mountains, rocks and trees converged into the sea. The black sea was like a giant beast lurking, with a breathtaking power.

Zhou Shi, Zhou Tianci's predecessor, joined the army five years ago and had never experienced a beast horde. On weekdays, the Bloody Battle Legion was mainly defending the Golden Wolf Empire, so Zhou Shi had never been to the wild forest.Because of this, Zhou Tianci didn't have a deep impression of the wild forest.Only when Zhou Tianci saw a corner of the wild forest with his own eyes did he understand why there were so many legends here.

"Is this the wild forest?" Looking at the huge tree over [-] meters high, Zhou Tianci lamented the magic of the world's creations.

"Captain, this is just the edge of the wild forest. Strictly speaking, it's not a wild forest." Zhou Tianci's team leader Chen Xiangrong stepped forward and said, "40 miles ahead is the wild forest!"

Chen Xiangrong is the captain of Zhou Tianci's second team, and he has the peak cultivation in the middle of the day after tomorrow.This person used to have a lukewarm attitude towards Zhou Tianci, but since Zhou Tianci became famous in the bloody battle stage, he began to take the initiative to seek refuge, showing courtesy to Zhou Tianci from time to time.

"Chen Xiangrong, have you been to the wild forest?" Zhou Tianci asked.

Chen Xiangrong nodded lightly: "I went in when the beast swarm happened seven years ago. At that time, I really thought I would never come back. Fortunately, the beast swarm lasted for a short time and was not large in scale, which made me Get your life back."

Zhou Tianci immediately became interested: "Since you have experienced the beast tide, do you know why the beast tide happens here every once in a while?"

"This kind of thing, that's what I can know..." Chen Xiangrong smiled wryly.

Zhou Tianci was right when he thought about it. Chen Xiangrong probably just joined the army seven years ago, so what could he know?
"But..." Chen Xiangrong hesitated.

"Speak up if you have anything to say." Zhou Tianci said.

Chen Xiangrong said: "Captain, I've heard a rumor about the reason for the beast swarm, but it's just a rumor. I heard that since the city of Weeping Blood was built, the beast swarm has happened periodically. It seems that there is something in the wild forest. Things can cause wild beasts to panic. This rumor has been circulating in Weeping Blood City for a long time, and many people know it."

Zhou Tianci nodded, he was not very interested in the reason for the beast tide.However, he noticed something unusual behind the beast tide.

"If it's just to resist the beast tide, why would Liu Yuntao take action himself? I don't believe that the Dayu Congress will use 23 elite legions for those villages scattered in the wild. When the beast tide happens, there must be great interests in this wild forest." Liu Yuntao!"

"Brother Huang, Liu Yuntao's move is amazing. He even left us all the defense of Weeping Blood City." A middle-aged man in green robes was playing chess with Huang Shuyi in the Huang Mansion of Weeping Blood City.

"It's really beyond our expectations. I don't know how brother Zhang can deal with it?" Huang Shuyi said.

The one who played against Huang Shuyi was Zhang Yuliang, one of the four major families in Weeping Blood City.The four big families advance and retreat together when dealing with Liu Yuntao, but they are not monolithic, basically divided into two factions.The Huang family and the Zhang family have many marriages, which can be regarded as one faction, and the Wang family and the Zhao family are connected by interests, which is another faction.

Zhang Yuliang shook his head slightly: "This time Liu Yuntao is using the Yang scheme. He is sure that we can't afford to lose the Weeping Blood City. Liu Yuntao came to the Weeping Blood City under the orders of the royal family and wanted to completely control the Weeping Blood City. Today Yan Xiong, the lord of Dayu Kingdom, is much stronger than the previous lord. Judging from his actions against Weeping Blood City, Yan Xiong must have integrated the other eleven states. If this is the case, he will never let Weeping Blood City escape from his control .”

Huang Shuyi nodded slightly, he had the same opinion as Zhang Yuliang.

"In this way, my four major families will be in danger." Huang Shuyi worried.

"Indeed, although the Dayu Kingdom has produced several inactive rulers, the Yan family is a royal family after all, with a profound heritage, and we are not rivals at all. Fortunately, there are other families and sects to restrain us, otherwise we have no chance. Right now, Our crisis is not small. Liu Yuntao led 23 elite legions into the wild forest, and left us to guard the Weeping Blood City. In case the Weeping Blood City is destroyed, he only needs to retreat to Jiangzhou, and then wait for the Golden Wolf Empire to plunder It will be good to recover the Weeping Blood City in the future. Although Dayu Kingdom will suffer a lot of losses, our four major families will suffer the most. At that time, Liu Yuntao will be able to clean us up. It is bound to be difficult to compete with Liu Yuntao in the wild forest, and the loss is also huge, it is really a good strategy." Zhang Yuliang sighed.

"The so-called lesser of two evils, we can only follow Liu Yuntao's pace this time, leaving 15 elite legions to defend the city." Huang Shuyi said, "However, it will not be easy for Liu Yuntao to monopolize the benefits of the wild forest! "

"Haha, that's right! This time we will let Liu Yuntao see who is the master of Weeping Blood City!" Zhang Yuliang laughed loudly.

……

The bloody battle legion marched very fast, and after an hour, the whole legion had entered the wild forest.

"What a rich aura!" As soon as he stepped into the wild forest, Zhou Tianci felt different. The aura here was much thicker than that in Weeping Blood City. The ubiquitous vitality seemed to stimulate his body all the time, making him feel like he was soaking in a hot spring. generally.

"I heard that there are countless villages at the northern end of the wild forest, and it's not without reason." Zhou Tianci thought.

The arrival of the Northwest Legion woke up a large forest, and the military spirit of the 23 legions was like a halberd like a knife, causing the surrounding beasts to flee in a hurry.A ferocious beast with closed eyes approached, and was shot and killed hundreds of feet away in an instant.

After staying for a while, Zhou Tianci received an order to lead his brigade to meet the fleeing villagers along Yutou Mountain.

"Yutou Mountain?" Zhou Tianci approached Chen Xiangrong, "Do you know?"

Chen Xiangrong did not disappoint him: "This is the branch of the largest mountain range, the Black Dragon Mountain Range at the northern end of the Wild Forest, about 60 miles away from our current location."

"Since you know, then lead the way!" Zhou Tianci said. He came from the era of star civilization and attached great importance to humanitarianism. Now that he was going to save people, Zhou Tianci didn't dare to waste time.

"Yes!"

More than 200 people headed towards Yutou Mountain under the leadership of Chen Xiangrong, but their speed was several times slower in the forest.

"There is no way to open a road in the wild forest." Seeing Zhou Tianci's anxious expression, Chen Xiangrong took the initiative to explain, "This place is very suitable for vegetation to grow, even if we spend a lot of effort to open a passage, within two days, the passage will be flooded by new vegetation. "

"Those mountain people always take the same road every time they come to Weeping Blood City?" Zhou Tianci looked at the dense trees and endless vines around him, stomped his foot, and shocked a lurking three-tailed scorpion to death.

"However, according to the habits of the mountain people, they usually come to Weeping Blood City once every two to three months."

It took a whole hour for the group to move forward for 20 miles, and they were still 40 miles away from the destination. Seeing that it was getting dark, Zhou Tianci was in a hurry.

"This speed is too slow... Let all the fighters above the middle stage of the day after tomorrow be responsible for clearing the way, speed up!"

Zhou Tianci took the lead and walked in the front. He waved the halberd, and the wind of the halberd swept away the vines within a foot of the surrounding area.Seeing Zhou Tianci going into battle in person, Qi Shan, Chen Xiangrong and the others naturally did not dare to sit still, and immediately rushed to the front to clear the way.

Among the more than 200 people in the first brigade, there were 17 fighters who were above the mid-acquired stage. Under the leadership of Zhou Tianci, these 17 people formed a sharp arrow, which greatly increased the speed of the team.

Half an hour later, Chen Xiangrong breathlessly suggested: "Captain, let's take a break, we are only 10 miles away from Yutou Mountain."

Zhou Tianci looked around and saw that Qi Shan and the others were sweating profusely and lacked strength, so he said, "Alright, let's rest for a quarter of an hour, and then rush to Yutou Mountain in one go."

"Captain is worthy of being praised by the commander as an acquired invincible powerhouse. It took more than half an hour to open the way without much consumption." Qi Shan looked at Zhou Tianci in surprise, seeing that his expression was calm and his breathing was normal, he couldn't help admiring him.

Zhou Tianci was not without consumption, but his physical strength replenished faster.During the opening of the path just now, Zhou Tianci felt that there was something very beneficial to him in this wild forest, not aura, but the essence of vegetation.

"I used to think that I could only devour ferocious beasts, but now it seems that I can devour even plants."

In this way, Zhou Tianci devoured the essence of plants and trees in the forest while clearing the way, his strength not only did not decrease, but was enhanced.If this continues, Zhou Tianci will not need to rest even if it is twelve hours, let alone half an hour.

When Chen Xiangrong and others recovered from meditation, Zhou Tianci arranged for some people to guard the surroundings, and he also calmed down to practice.

"This wild forest is really a blessed place. Although I can't improve as fast as the energy of devouring beasts here, it is better for a long time. The energy of plants and trees is everywhere here, which can be said to be endless. If this continues, half a month to a month. Time is enough for me to become the day after tomorrow!" Zhou Tianci said secretly.

Zhou Tianci also discovered that devouring the essence of vegetation can nourish his primordial spirit, which is stronger than devouring beasts.While practicing, whirlpools invisible to the naked eye appeared around Zhou Tianci, and the endless vegetation essence in the forest poured into his body.At the same time, Zhou Tianci's Primordial Spirit also received huge benefits.

"There seems to be movement ahead!" Half a quarter of an hour later, Zhou Tianci seemed to hear something, he got up immediately, turned back to Qi Shan and the others and said, "I'll go and see what happened ahead, you wait for my news."

Qi Shan and the other five looked at Zhou Tianci's disappearing figure.

"Did you hear anything?" Qi Shan asked.

"No."

Zhou Tianci galloped through the forest, and after walking for half a mile, he finally heard clearly, right in front of them, there were many men and women crying.Zhou Tianci realized that he might have run into a fleeing mountain dweller.
