Chapter 18
The miasma along the way changed from thin to thick, and then to thin again.
After about a stick of incense, Qin Zheng's vision was finally no longer foggy, and it seemed that he had finally stepped out of the miasma.
At this moment, the three of them were standing on the edge of the center of the forest. It was darker than the outside, but they could still see things within ten meters, and with the addition of some glowing plants, the three of them could not lose their way. .
The plots surrounded by miasma all belong to the central part of the forest, and the area looks quite wide.
There are countless trees growing here like outside the miasma, but the color of these trees is different from the brown ones outside, and the trunks are faintly dark red.
Qin Ke took a closer look at the trunk and said with certainty: "I read in the book that this kind of tree usually grows in places where demons live together, and it is the same as the plant we are looking for."
"I just said why we didn't see a monster before we have been practicing outside. It seems that they are all hiding here."
Qin Su looked at the two people behind him and said, "Be careful, not all monsters will attack people actively, on the contrary, most of the demons are more aggressive."
Qin Zheng nodded seriously.
Although Qin Su like this looks like a child, his speech and actions are already biased toward the appearance of an adult.
The rumors that the children of the Tianque faction were precocious were really worthy of the name.
Now that they knew that monsters gathered here, the three of them moved slowly and cautiously.
When Qin Zheng, who had been concentrating on observing the soles of his feet, looked up at the front, he vaguely saw a rather large shadow appearing in front of him at some point, as if there was an extraordinary tree.
A place that is different from the surrounding plants always attracts people to walk towards it.
When the three of them slowly approached together, they realized that the huge shadow was not just a tree, but a simple palace built around a tree. It was surrounded by three-person-high stone walls. A doorway for people to enter and exit.
Qin Zheng looked up at this decent palace in surprise: "Could it be that these monsters made this thing?"
"The monster is worthy of being a monster. Even if there is only one original soul left, the thinking is still different from others, and it is alive and well."
Qin Su nodded and said, "The only ones who can build such buildings are the demons."
Qin Zheng just guessed wildly, but unexpectedly he guessed it right. He hurriedly looked nervously at the palace not far away, and asked cautiously in a low voice, "Does that mean there will be many monsters inside?"
After speaking, Qin Zheng paused, stretched out his hand to poke Qin Su and said, "Do you want to use your ability to perceive it?"
Qin Zheng thought of Qin Su's special ability that he could feel himself every time. It would be very convenient if this ability was used to detect the number of enemies.
Although Qin Ke on the side didn't like Qin Zheng very much, he heard every word he said, and quickly turned around to look at his young junior brother and asked in surprise: "Young junior brother has already learned to perceive? "
Qin Su is the junior that Qin Ke admires the most since he started the sect. His savvy often makes Qin Ke, who has always been proud, feel inferior, and he no longer treats him like a child at all.
Qin Su turned her head and looked at Qin Zheng's eyes showing a trace of sobriety, then shook her head at Qin Ke and said, "I haven't learned to perceive, Brother Qin Zheng must have misunderstood something."
After being looked at by Qin Su, although he didn't say anything, Qin Zheng subconsciously felt that Qin Su didn't want him to continue talking, so he consciously closed his mouth.
Qin Zheng was sure that he did not misunderstand Qin Su, but he didn't understand why he would lie?
Is it to hide strength?
Since he doesn't want to reveal it, he should shut up too.
In order to answer this question, Qin Zheng could only pretend to scratch his head in embarrassment and said, "When I was secretly scaring my younger brother, he avoided me. I thought he had already learned to perceive."
After speaking, he secretly winked at Qin Su.
Qin Ke on the side listened, glared at Qin Zheng, then continued to turn around, and said softly: "Rare is more strange!"
Qin Zheng, who had long been accustomed to Qin Ke's attitude, didn't care. He looked around on his own, pointed to the three-person-high stone wall and suggested, "Why don't we sneak up there to see what's going on inside?" ?”
"It's relatively high there, and the view must be good. Let's go up there to see if there is anything I didn't want. If there is no one, we don't want the group of monsters to meet head-on."
Qin Zheng's simplicity this time was more pertinent, and Qin Ke also glanced at Qin Su as if asking for his opinion.
Qin Su nodded and said, "Yes, the location there happens to be a place that is easy to hide in such a dim situation."
As they said that, the three of them moved their positions from the front, found a corner slightly off, and prepared to go up the wall.
However, Qin Zheng realized that he didn't seem to know how to do this, so he quickly grabbed Qin Su's hand, and said softly, "Give me a hand."
Qin Su looked at his grasped hand, paused for a moment, but didn't shake it off in the end, and led Qin Zheng to jump onto the stone wall.
After going up, he found that there was a meter-wide platform above the stone wall, which made Qin Zheng feel relieved.
If it was pointed, he wasn't sure if he would slip down.
Standing on the stone wall, the three of them had a very wide field of vision, and they could clearly see the situation inside the stone wall.
The big tree that can be seen outside the stone wall was not simply surrounded by the wall, it actually grew out of a stone palace inside the wall, and its roots were completely blocked by the palace wall.
Qin Zheng noticed with sharp eyes that there were palm-shaped plants growing on the outer wall of the stone palace, and he couldn't help pointing out: "Look, that plant is even bigger than the one planted by the master in the grove. strangeness."
Qin Su looked at the plants and took out a piece of paper from his bosom to compare them carefully before saying, "This is the herb that master wants."
"What?" Qin Zheng looked at the situation inside the wall.
Inside the wall and outside the palace, people can be seen moving. According to what Qin Su said before, these people should be monsters.
Compared with the woman with the cloak I saw before, the monsters here look much more vicious. They look like the type who want to fight when they meet each other, and there are probably hundreds of people outside, not including the ones in the palace. number of people.
Qin Zheng had no choice but to make an opinion: "There are too many of them. If we just go in like this, we will always feel that there will be conflicts. Why don't we wait for them to rest and then go quietly to pick them?"
"Fighting is also a part of cultivation!" Qin Ke vetoed Qin Zheng's suggestion, but pointed to the back of the palace and said: "There are few people there, so sneaking past should not be discovered."
Qin Zheng looked in the direction Qin Ke pointed, and saw that the back of the palace was indeed rather dark, and it seemed that most of the people were gathered in front of the palace, which was a good idea.
Qin Su seemed to have listened to Qin Ke's advice, stepping on the top of the wall and walking slowly towards the back of the palace.
Now that the most reliable juniors have gone, Qin Zheng has to follow of course.
But Qin Zheng had a faint worry in his heart.
Soon, the three of them had circled to the back of the palace. There was not much light here, and the branches and leaves pressed down from it were almost invisible.
Qin Su looked at the target plant and said, "I'll go there, I'm small and not easy to be spotted."
Qin Ke nodded.
As a person with little mana, Qin Zheng could only stand here and watch even if Qin Su didn't say anything.
Qin Zheng watched his junior brother jump up from the spot, pass through the darkness and stop on the roof of the palace in the distance, looking like a white butterfly from a distance.
Qin Su bent down gently, and picked off the nearest plant.
After getting the plant, Qin Zheng also breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but look at the movement of the monster in the distance.
I was startled when I saw this, and the group of people who were casually staying in the square gathered together unknowingly.
Qin Zheng quickly patted Qin Ke beside him and said, "No, they seem to have found out!"
Qin Ke glanced at the distance and said: "This is impossible. The third-level monsters don't use perception. They just gather into the palace."
Qin Su in the distance got the medicinal materials, then dodged behind the tree trunk, and then flew back.
As soon as Qin Su landed on the ground, he frowned and said, "I've been discovered, let's go!"
After finishing speaking, he pulled Qin Zheng and ran outside.
Qin Zheng turned his head to look behind while being dragged away, and saw a large group of monsters flying out of the wall, as if the door under the wall was just a decoration.
The three of them ran for a certain distance, but the other party was only the original soul. In the case of equal strength, the three of them were soon surrounded by monsters.
Seeing that there was no way to escape, Qin Su took the lead to stand up and prepare to fight.
Seeing this, Qin Zheng and Qin Ke put on a fighting posture together.
However, the other party didn't seem to intend to strike immediately, but asked loudly, "What do you have to do with Yu Jingchen!"
"Yu Jingchen? It sounds so familiar!" Qin Zheng looked at Qin Su and Qin Ke for answers. This is the first time he experienced such a scene, his head was still a little confused, and he couldn't remember the source.
Qin Ke said: "It's the mountain god of Yujing Mountain."
Qin Su replied indifferently: "It doesn't matter."
The people around laughed and said, "If it wasn't because of his aura on you, how could we have discovered it?" "Since you don't want to say it, then don't blame me for being rude!"
"It looks like these little kids should be his apprentices. If we capture his apprentices, I don't believe he won't come looking for them!"
