Chapter 1240 Pingnan Pass

"Oh, forget it. No matter what happens here, I can't even protect myself now. Why should I bother with all this?"

Thinking of the horror of those spiritual plants and the Titan Black Shovel Beetle, Lin Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, his expression full of helplessness.

But soon, his expression changed slightly, and then he raised his head and looked towards the place where the ancient life-eating grass was.

After his eyes changed for a moment, Lin Feng gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Anyway, other places are not necessarily safe now, so we might as well try our luck there and see if we can find a bargain. This way, at least we may gain something this time instead of returning empty-handed."

Thinking of this, the former did not hesitate any longer. He moved his body and hid in the dense forest, silently and quickly rushing towards the place where the ancient life-eating grass was.

"Buzz~"

While Lin Feng was trying to take advantage of the situation, the Titan Black Shovel Beetle on the other side, after flying over countless mountains, finally landed on a man-made cave platform on a steep cliff.

"Hey, Xiao Hei, who hurt you like this? Did you go and provoke those guys again?"

As soon as the Titan Black Shovel Beak landed on the platform, a slightly surprised voice came out from the cave.

When the Titan Ink Shovel Beetle heard this, it opened and closed its upper jaw several times in anger, and then made some threatening movements with its fangs and claws.

However, although I don't know what he is doing, judging from his constantly opening and closing upper jaw and red eyes, he is obviously very angry.

"What? New natives opened the seal and came into this damn place?"

Just as the Titan Black Shovel Beak was showing its fangs and claws, the voice inside the cave suddenly became extremely shocked and unexpected.

Then, in the blink of an eye, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the giant black insect, looking towards the north with interest, and murmured: "There are new people coming. It seems that we should notify them to go and have a look. Although the chance is rare, maybe this time the other party really has the key to leave?"

"I don't want to stay in this damn place for even a moment. I think the ancestors must want to leave here too, right, Xiao Hei?"

Having said that, the figure immediately reached out and touched the huge upper jaw of the Titan Black Shovel Beak.

Then, he continued, "No wonder the pollen of the Purple Soul Flower and the juice of the Life-Eating Grass made you so miserable. It seems that you are the one who provoked those grasses again. But now you have to endure for a while. After all, although I can deal with these grasses, the old ancestor's body is now collapsed and his soul cannot leave the tree."

At this point, the man was silent for a moment, and then continued: "If the people who came this time really have a way to leave, then as long as I take the ancestor away from here, this Douqi Continent, according to those people before, now because of the exhaustion of the original emperor energy, there is not even a strong man in the supreme realm. When we find a way to rescue the ancestor, it will be up to us, hehe."

As he spoke, the voice couldn't help but chuckle, with a tone full of surprise and excitement.

He has been trapped in this hellish place since he was born, and now he finally sees hope of getting out.

When the Titan Black Shovel Beetle heard the former say this, it immediately jumped excitedly.

After all, no one can stand being locked up in this place for nearly ten thousand years!

"hehe."

Seeing the excitement of the Titan Ink Beetle, the figure couldn't help but shook his head and chuckled.

Then, he suddenly waved his hand lightly, and several tiny gray insects, less than one tenth of a micron in size, flew out silently from his palm and flew to various places.

After doing all this, the figure immediately turned around and looked at the huge black insect beside him and said, "Let's go, Xiao Hei, take me to the place where you met that person."

"Buzz~"

Upon receiving the order, the Titan Ink Shovel Beetle immediately flapped its wings behind it and rushed towards the distant sky.

As for that figure, it was like a ghost, following closely behind the giant insect and flying away together.

"Huh! Huh!"

While the man and the beast in front were excited, Lin Feng on the other side carefully jumped and moved in the dense forest for a while, and then quietly appeared behind a bush more than one person tall, carefully looking at a tall mountain opposite.

To be more precise, it is a huge green and pink plant on a plain on the mountainside.

This plant, with its special wedge-shaped body and two pink steel leaves with dense spikes, all indicate that this plant is the ancient life-eating grass that fought against the Titan black stag beetle and the spiritual plant with purple flowers.

However, the Life-Eating Grass now no longer has the mighty power it had before when it was able to fight against the ancient crustacean creatures of the late eight-star level. Instead, it looks very listless, with yellow branches and leaves, and it looks like it may die at any time.

"Hehe, it seems that I guessed right. This Life-Eating Grass was previously held back by the purple flower of the eight-star Dousheng level, and then its spiritual projection was shattered by the Titan Ink Stag Beetle without any preparation. It is now seriously injured and can almost be said to be dying."

Seeing the withered yellow ancient life-eating grass on the opposite mountain, Lin Feng's mouth suddenly curled up and he was overjoyed in his heart.

After all, he knew something about this ancient life-eating grass and knew that this spiritual plant stored a special gas in its body.

If he got hold of these gases and released them when he encountered an enemy, even an eight-star Dou Sheng would be in a state of panic for a while.

Of course, what is even more coveted is the root of this life-eating grass.

Because this life-eating grass is different from other spiritual plants, it does not rely on its roots to absorb the energy of heaven and earth to grow stronger, but relies on using its "steel" leaves to prey on other living creatures or use its leaves to absorb the energy of heaven and earth.

Therefore, its roots, which are unable to absorb energy from the soil, become its energy storage area.

All the energy that the Life-Eating Grass failed to absorb is stored there.

Judging from the strength of the Life-Devouring Grass in front of him, if he could obtain it, he would be able to advance to the Seven-Star Dou Sheng within half a year.

"Let's give it a try. A six-star Dou Sheng can be promoted to a seven-star one. Moreover, if the special leaves of this Life-Eating Grass used for hunting are refined, it can probably be refined into some offensive weapons or treasures to trap people. Even an eight-star Dou Sheng will probably need some time to escape. This time, do it!"

Thinking of the Life-Eating Grass that was full of treasures, Lin Feng's heart suddenly became hot and he gritted his teeth.

After all, the Life-Eating Grass is already extinct in the outside world, not to mention that this is an eight-star Douluo level Life-Eating Grass.

He only had a chance because the other party was seriously injured by the Titan Black Shovel Beak. If he missed this opportunity, he would never have the chance again.

Thinking that the Life-Devouring Grass was afraid of fire, Lin Feng immediately asked in his heart: "Xiao Ling, have you recovered?"

"Not yet. The lotus in front of me has almost exhausted all my energy. Unless you give me a bunch of ninth-grade precious pills to recover, it will take at least a few days."

In response to Lin Feng's question, Xiao Ling quickly transformed into a fist-sized doll girl and stood on the latter's shoulder, spreading her hands helplessly.

Hearing this, Lin Feng said helplessly: "It seems that I can only rely on myself."

As he spoke, Lin Feng quickly formed a strange handprint and said in a deep voice: "Tai Xuan."

"Master, wait a moment, look at what that grass is doing?"

Just when the former was concentrating on performing his fighting skills, Xiao Ling's surprised voice immediately interrupted Lin Feng's actions. At the same time, her little hand kept shaking Lin Feng's ears, urging him to look at the Life-Devouring Grass.

"Oh, Xiao Ling, be gentle, my ears"

Lin Feng, whose ears were suddenly pulled hard by Xiao Ling, subconsciously let out a scream.

But soon, he reacted and forced himself to stop talking, then followed Xiao Ling's words and looked at the life-eating grass on the opposite mountain.

However, when he saw it, he was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

Because next to the root of the life-eating grass, a grayish-black flat round bead had appeared at some point, and from a distance it looked like a giant black bean.

Of course, what Lin Feng was afraid of was not this "broad bean" but the fact that the Life-Eating Grass had already produced this "broad bean"!

"Master, what is this?"

Seeing Lin Feng's body suddenly tremble, and then a lot of sweat quickly appeared on his forehead, Xiao Ling asked in confusion.

After all, the bean didn't look dangerous to her, so why was its owner so scared?

Hearing this, Lin Feng's throat moved a little, and he said in a trembling voice: "Those are the seeds of the Life-Eating Grass. According to ancient records, the seeds of the Life-Eating Grass are grayish black when they first fall to the ground, and after being nourished by the mother tree for a period of time, they will turn pure black. If the energy can keep up, then the seeds will hatch within a thousand years."

"Of course, during this period, the best supplement is the life force in the body of the living being. If there is a large amount of life force to nourish it, its germination time will be infinitely shortened, and it may even break out of the shell immediately!"

"Uh"

After listening to Lin Feng's introduction, Xiao Ling frowned, and then said in confusion: "Although absorbing life force to grow is a bit strange, there are examples of this in the outside world. Even many of your human secrets are to absorb life force to strengthen yourself. Is it so scary?"

At this point, the look of doubt on the little girl's perfect face became even more intense.

After all, in order to improve his strength, his master would not hesitate at all even if he was asked to eat the soul alive, let alone absorb the life force. Why did he suddenly become timid?

"You think I'm afraid of the seeds? When the Life-Eating Grass seeds fall to the ground, they will take away a lot of energy and temporarily fall down a level. And doesn't this Life-Eating Grass in front of me just meet this condition?"

At this point, Lin Feng quickly took a few steps back, and said in fear: "Judging from the fact that this Life-Devouring Grass still has the strength of an eight-star late-stage Dou Sheng after giving birth, it must have been at least a nine-star early-stage Dou Sheng in its prime. Even if its realm has temporarily fallen, its residual power is still there."

"It was only because the Titan Black Stag Beetle was lucky that it encountered the real body of the purple flower instead of the life-eating herb. In addition, the insect feeds on the juice and essence of spiritual plants, and has a natural restraint on spiritual plants. Otherwise, it would have been eaten up long ago."

"After all, if this Life-Eating Herb is an eight-star Dousheng-level monster and it deploys a defensive state in advance, even if the Titan Shovel Beak attacks it for a thousand years, it won't suffer the slightest damage. If we go forward and attack its body, it's like turning on the light in the toilet. We'll die early (shit)!"

As he spoke, Lin Feng didn't hesitate at all. He just turned around and ran.

After all, even if this Nine-Star Fighting Saint was seriously injured, he was not someone he could afford to offend now!

When Xiao Ling heard the Nine-Star Fighting Saint, she was so scared that she almost peed on Lin Feng's shoulder, and then hurriedly urged: "Master, run, hurry up, I have to pee!"

"You think you're the only one, I'm the same!"

Hearing this, Lin Feng glared at Xiao Ling unhappily. Anyone who saw this ancient spiritual plant of the nine-star Dou Sheng level would be terrified.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Feng no longer cared about the treasures on the body of the Life Devouring Grass, and ran tens of thousands of miles in one breath before stopping.

"Huh, it should be safe now. Although this spiritual plant has a long lifespan and a high upper limit, its main body is difficult to move, and the spiritual body is far less powerful than the main body. Even if the Life-Eating Grass spiritual body chases me now, I dare to fight it."

Leaning among the dense branches at the top of a big tree, Lin Feng looked at the dense forest and endless mountains behind him with lingering fear, and then wiped the sweat from his forehead.

It was fortunate that Xiao Ling reminded him just now, otherwise, if he had foolishly run over to cast the Taixuan Fire Control Array, he would probably have died without knowing how he died.

But this cannot be blamed on him. After all, although his soul power is not weak, it is a bit difficult for him to see through a nine-star Douluo.

After all, even if it is an emperor soul, it is hard to say that it can completely detect the alien species at the nine-star Dousheng level.

However, when Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief and carefully explored the situation ahead, he immediately said in surprise: "Hey, I didn't expect that I would come to the residence of an ancient sect just by running around."

As soon as the voice fell, Lin Feng's face suddenly became expectant, and he immediately rushed towards the four peaks in front, which were located in the four corners of the east, west, south and north, and guarded a steep mountain in the middle that was much higher than the surrounding four peaks.

And because Lin Feng was extremely fast, in less than half a cup of tea, he and Xiao Ling arrived in front of the tall peak in the center of the four mountains.

Arriving here, Lin Feng's soul power immediately penetrated his body and scanned several surrounding mountains carefully.

Then soon, he discovered many human buildings and traces of life in these mountains.

At the same time, Lin Feng discovered that there were numerous continuous buildings in the valley between these four peaks and the middle peak.

These buildings are of uniform style and are distributed very reasonably. In the center of these buildings, there is a wide avenue that surrounds the middle mountain, and these buildings are built on both sides of the road.

Under the sweep of Lin Feng's soul power, he soon found a road leading to the outside world in each of the valleys between the four mountains outside.

Wherever these roads lead to the valley cities, there is a huge stone hundreds of feet high with words engraved on it.

"Pingnan Pass!"

When Lin Feng saw these three words, his brows immediately frowned, and his face was full of confusion.

Because if this place is said to be the headquarters of a sect, he is very sure about it, but the pass.

"What is this Pingnanguan Town?"

“Why was it built here?”

"There's nothing special here that can hinder the enemy's attack."

"Also, if this place is really a pass, then what is the object of the leveling?"

Seeing this unknown place name, Lin Feng's mind suddenly became filled with questions one after another.

He really couldn't understand this place!

"In Douqi Continent, peace generally means that someone is causing chaos here, disrupting the normal order of the continent, so one or more forces, representing the will of the majority of the people on the continent, send people to quell the rebellion here."

Thinking of this, Lin Feng looked curiously at the peak surrounded by four mountains, and murmured, "Could it be that someone has quelled a rebellion here before, or a foreign enemy?"

"External enemies and internal thieves are pacified"

After thinking for a long time, Lin Feng recalled the information he had obtained from the Jindan Grandmaster's ring.

But after thinking for a long time, he finally shook his head helplessly.

In the information left by the Jindan Grandmaster, there was no mention of anyone causing trouble here?

"Could it be that this happened after the death of that Jindan Grandmaster?"

Thinking of this, Lin Feng calculated in his mind that this Jindan Grandmaster was almost a contemporary of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, and he had also seen Tuoshe Ancient Emperor when he had not yet become an emperor and whose fighting spirit level was only that of an initial Dou Sheng during his lifetime.

At the time when this alchemist was killed in a surprise attack by his concubine, it seemed that Tushegudi had not yet become emperor.

This means that this might be the period between the death of the Golden Core Grandmaster and the ascension of Tushe Ancient Emperor!

After all, the time when Tushegudi became emperor can be regarded as a dividing line between ancient times and modern times.

Since then, the mainland's information is relatively complete, with little lost, and the system is also very complete.

“But then again, why is there so much missing information about Tuoshe Gudi before he became an emperor, and why is there a serious lack of cultivation information from the ancient times?”

Thinking of this, Lin Feng suddenly had more questions in his mind.
