Chapter 857 Ancient tree vortex, strange fruit
Bahuang was walking at the front, and Chen Qingyun could clearly smell the strange fragrance coming from him.
It's like being in a completely enclosed secret room. The moment you open the window, a large amount of strange fragrance blows into your face with the breeze, pouring into your mouth and nose continuously.
Chen Qingyun and others smelled this strange fragrance. Without exception, they all felt refreshed and their sense of smell was stimulated.
This fragrance does not have any sour or pungent feeling, but is filled with an indescribable and unexplained fragrance.
I always want to come closer, take a few deep breaths, and take a few big sips.
As the saying goes, there must be a monster when something goes wrong.
How could there be such a strong fragrance in a cave?
What's the answer? It's nothing more than man-made, or some kind of naturally produced substance.
"It has such a strong aroma, like some kind of spiritual fruit."
Li Mubing said, thinking that it was really possible to find treasures here.
Chen Qingyun and the others walked forward together, looked intently, and found that this was a huge flat area.
With the help of the light of the lighting stone, it can be seen that there are a lot of marks of swords and axes on the surrounding rock walls, indicating artificial construction factors.
About thirty meters ahead, a strange and huge vortex appeared on the dark ground.
This vortex is very thick, with bursts of black air surging inside it. It is slowly rotating counterclockwise, as if it is attracted by something.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like a whirlpool in the sea, but it appears on land, and the whole thing is mainly black and gray.
And those black and gray mist are already familiar to everyone.
It can be seen at a glance that if it is not the aura of the netherworld, what could it be?
"What's going on? Ever since we entered this cave, there is no trace of ghostly energy lingering in the ancestral temple or stone chamber outside."
"Why are there so many here?"
Mu Taoist was the most vigilant and was the first to express his doubts.
Seeing this scene, Chen Qingyun and others looked at each other, and without thinking, they all came up with the same guess.
"Netherworld Passage?"
Li Mubing and Luo Huzi said in unison.
Looking closely at the vortex composed of netherworld energy, what is even more strange is that there is no ghost cultivator hovering in it.
It seems that this place is an absolute restricted area for ghost cultivators. No ghost cultivator dares to come and go here.
In other words, the ghost cultivators who appeared here were eliminated by some mysterious force and unknown existence.
So much so that only the purest Netherworld energy was left, which has been gathering to this point.
If this is the Netherworld Passage, it would be too wrong, because there is no hole-like terrain below the vortex.
Since nothing can be seen at this distance, you can only gain something if you look closely.
While everyone felt strange, they could only continue to move forward, approaching the black vortex.
The closer you get, the stronger the fragrance in the air becomes.
So much so that the monks can be intoxicated and deeply attracted.
This strange fragrance, combined with the weird environment here, is full of weird atmosphere.
Chen Qingyun secretly bit the tip of his tongue to keep himself awake and not be influenced by the surrounding environment.
Old Monster Yan took the lead and walked at the front.
It was as if the most primitive greed in his heart had been awakened, his eyes glowed, and he used a circle of golden elixir shield to protect himself.
Then he walked towards the source of the strange fragrance, the strange vortex, with an excited look on his face.
At the same time, the surrounding Taoist Mu, Luo Huzi, and Li Mubing saw this and followed in the footsteps of Old Monster Yan.
Only Wen Xiumin and Granny Xiaoyu looked solemn and followed slowly.
Several people were on guard and quickly arrived around the vortex, not daring to take it lightly.
At this time, after careful attention, everyone was once again sure that they did not see any ghost cultivators or puppets ambushing here.
The large amount of Netherworld energy that swirled and moved like water actually gathered in such a large amount.
When he looked carefully again, he saw an ancient tree vaguely appearing in the center of the vortex.
Luo Beard threw two more lighting stones, which landed around the center of the whirlpool.
With the help of the lighting stone, it pierced through the large-scale netherworld aura and finally illuminated the appearance of the ancient tree.
It looks like a dead tree, nearly three meters tall, without any green leaves and decorated with flowers.
The whole tree is gray-black, and its surface looks extremely rough.
If it were a dead tree, this shape would not be surprising, but there was a solitary fruit hanging on the tree.
Looking closely, this fruit is equally strange. It is not the usual round or oval shape, but appears in the shape of a small human.
Yes, the whole fruit looks very similar to a baby.
It actually has four limbs and a head, and the whole thing looks crystal clear, containing some aura and charm.
If it weren't for the fact that there were no sharp-edged facial features, it would only be a preliminary outline of the facial features, which would be very simple.
There are no concave and convex patterns at the base of the legs, making it impossible to tell whether they are male or female.
Otherwise, it would be easy for people to mistake it for a baby, a baby hanging on a tree.
And that strange fragrance emanates from this baby fruit.
The closer it is to this point, the stronger the fragrance will be.
It has even reached the point where even if the sense of smell is blocked, the mana in the body can still be mobilized, showing signs of active boiling.
There are countless types of fruits in the world, and it is not like Chen Qingyun has never seen them before.
It is the first time that it can grow in such an environment and emit such a strange fragrance, which can boost the mana in the body of the cultivator.
Just as Chen Qingyun took a closer look and wanted to find out the origin of this fruit, he suddenly noticed that the fruit had moved, and his expression changed immediately.
"Retreat quickly!"
With Chen Qingyun's reminder, Li Mubing and others also noticed it, and when they retreated more than ten feet away, the baby fruit on the tree reacted.
It shook slightly, and I don't know if it was disturbed by human breath or wanted to move a few times.
As it shook, a large area of netherworld air that originally surrounded the ancient tree suddenly surged rapidly.
No, to be precise, it was not the netherworld air that was surging.
Instead, it was attracted by a strong suction force and gathered towards the ancient tree.
The source of this suction force was this strange baby fruit.
Under the three looks of vigilance, solemnity, and surprise,
With the baby fruit as the center, the vortex gathered around it began to rotate counterclockwise at a high speed, converging towards the center.
The baby fruit turned into a dragon sucking water, and it actually expanded a circle, and then madly sucked these netherworld air into its body.
"So edible?"
Luo Huzi was extremely surprised.
This scene made everyone more curious about the origin of this fruit.
At the same time, it can be clearly felt that the magic power in his body was also affected by this suction.
