Chapter 203 Search Team
After the mid-term assessment, the disciples of Wuji Mountain Academy were busy attending classes and handing in homework. After the day's classes were over, the manager of Class D used a messenger to notify all the students in Class D to gather in the small square of the academy. "Recently, Wuji Mountain encountered thieves, and many residents of villages and towns at the foot of the mountain disappeared. Wuji Mountain sent patrol teams and inner and outer disciples, but the manpower is still not enough, so I hope that all students can participate in the search. If any are found, there will be additional exams at the end of the semester. "
Originally, everyone was not interested in this kind of volunteer activity. They just thought it was troublesome. After hearing that they could get extra points, they immediately became enthusiastic. "Master, can you tell me the situation in detail? Are there any suspects?"
The master talked about several current conjectures, "There were no traces left in this theft. It is suspected that it was a foreign monk with superb concealment methods, or someone from Wuji Mountain. People are guarding and stealing. These situations are all under investigation. It is precisely because of the difficulty of investigating the case that we hope to conduct a nationwide search to investigate all suspicious things."
Another master said: "This is also the case. It is very reasonable for the test of your abilities to be included in the year-end evaluation.”
The last master got to the point, “Another reason is that the stolen genius treasures are all living things. The situation is very similar to the black vines in the Valley of Fire. You have seen this kind of vines in the secret realm. It should not be difficult to identify it again."
As soon as these words were said, the students of Class D who were very enthusiastic just now were all excited. Calm down, there are so many of these vines, they are very troublesome, many of their companions have been killed by the attacks of the vines, which has brought a lot of shadow to them. This search unexpectedly encountered such a dangerous thing.
A female cultivator worriedly asked: "Isn't this thing only growing in the Fire Valley? It actually came out of the secret realm?"
The leading master comforted everyone, "This thing It’s just a possibility, and it’s not necessarily caused by vines. The Class D student union and the patrol team team up to search. This is also a good opportunity, and there is no need to worry about safety issues.”
The members of the patrol team are all involved. It is composed of monks in the distraction stage and Nascent Soul stage, and there are also monks in the transformation stage to take care of it, which makes the students in Class D feel at ease.
Four members of Class D and six members of the patrol team formed a ten-person team to conduct the search. The main task of Class D students was to identify this strange vine. Tu Wenzhou and Xu Tianwen took the initiative to form a team with Tang Yue and Shang Fanling, hoping to patrol with them.
Tu Wenzhou said: "We don't communicate too much with the fellow practitioners in the class on weekdays. We are more familiar with you. Let's act together."
Tang Yue nodded, "Okay." In Class D's future studies, group tasks are indispensable, and it would be good to develop a foundation for cooperation now. I guess the two of them think so too.
The four of them have their own strengths and can achieve good results in various assessments. After forming a team, you don’t have to worry about anyone holding you back. They are all good partners for cooperation.
The four of them participated in the search of the small mountain range in the west, which is sparsely populated and has only one village. I heard that several children and elderly people have disappeared in the village recently. The villagers asked Wuji Mountain for help many times, so the sect decided In this major search operation, this matter will be dealt with together.
The villagers told the team that the missing people went to the dense forest to collect herbs and never came back. The patrol team took people to search the dense forest.
Tang Yue used divination to measure the direction, searched along the road, and found the clothes left by the missing person. They were in tatters and seemed to have gone through a fierce struggle.
When she and her senior sister arrived at Shanyin, they thought of something to discuss with Shang Fanling, "The spiritual energy here is thinner, there are not as many creatures as in Huoting Valley, and there should be fewer dark vines than in the secret realm."
Dark Vine was a name given by Tang Yue herself. She felt that such a vine that could bring a sense of despair and fear to people should also have an unusual-sounding name.
"I agree, then it will be difficult to search for these vines." Shang Fanling believed in her junior sister's intuition, so she followed her to look for the vines.
"Sister, do you have any way to make plants grow quickly? This process will release a lot of vitality and may lead to dark vines."
"Yes, there is, but I don't have that much spiritual power. "
"I'm here to help you. I can quickly absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth."
Tang Yue has a Nascent Soul cultivation level and is assisted by micro-spirit insects. She is already familiar with how to supply a large amount of it. Spiritual power.
After the two discussed it, they searched for suitable plants. Shang Fanling found a small sapling, "This is a lingshan. It can grow very tall and is very suitable for growing into a big tree."
Shang Fanling chanted the incantation in her mouth and formed a seal in her hand. Tang Yue transferred a large amount of spiritual power to her body. The spiritual shirt gradually grew taller. After a cup of tea, it was already three meters tall. The spirit shirt emits a lot of vitality as it grows, and green light spots with wood attributes are looming around it. Suddenly, the forest became quiet, the insects disappeared, and the patrol team felt something was wrong.
Tu Wenzhou said to Xu Tianwen: "It seems that the junior sisters are using some magic over there. Let's go see if we can help."
Xu Tianwen nodded. , and Tu Wenzhou passed in the direction of Tang Yue and the others.
When the spirit shirt grew to ten meters high, there was a loud rustling sound in the grass on the west side, as if something alive was passing through the grass quickly, and the two women knew that it was a vine.
With a crackling sound, several vines flew out of the grass. Some of them rushed towards Lingshan, while the other part attacked Tang Yue and Shang Fanling.
Tang Yue drew his sword and cut off the vines that flew towards him from the air. The senior sister also used a thread to cut the vines into several sections.
When Tu Wenzhou and Xu Tianwen came, they saw this scene and flew forward to help.
After the dark vines attacked for a while, they found that they were no match for these people and only lost branches, so they put away the vines and left quickly.
Tang Yue shouted: "Chasing, if you don't eliminate the vines, someone will still be missing in the village."
The four of them chased in the direction where the vines receded, and Xu Wenzhou fired at the patrol. Signal them to help and prevent accidents from happening.
The vines fought and retreated, and finally reached a small cave and shrank inside.
Tu Wenzhou asked Tang Yue, "Do you want to go in?"
Tang Yue thought for a while, there would be no big vine monster. If there was any tunnel in the cave, the vines escaped. It was worse elsewhere, so he said: "Brother Xu is waiting for the patrol team to support you at the entrance of the cave. Let the three of us go in." Let’s find out.” Xu Tianwen would rather find out than stay where he is.
"Okay, let's go in together."
The cave is a bit narrow and can only accommodate two people walking side by side. Tu Wenzhou felt that in such a narrow place, if he was entangled, he would not be able to turn around. , said to the other three people: "Let's not go side by side, let's move forward in a row."
The other three people thought it made sense, and moved forward in a row as told. Tang Yue felt that his cultivation level was four The tallest among people should walk in front, and can stand in the way if something happens.
She also noticed that the walls of the cave were bare, and the bryophytes that usually grew there were gone. It seemed that no grass was growing wherever the vines went.
Suddenly the front became open, and there was a space that could accommodate ten people side by side. Tang Yue shouted: "It's right here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the vines attacked several people. Coming over, the four people hurriedly used their spiritual power to resist and cut off the vines that wanted to entangle them. This is probably where the roots of the vines are located. There are so many vines that after cutting one batch, another batch is thrown in, seemingly endless.
What’s even more annoying is that the broken vines will not die, but will become new roots and continue to grow. There are also many living things dragged by the vines in the hole, which provide nutrients for the vines to grow again. .
Tang Yue felt that this situation would go on endlessly, so she said to the three of them: "Everyone, hold your breath, I am going to use the fire method." This time she did not use the sword to drive away the fire, but made a formal gesture, calling A green fire dragon emerged and burned towards all the black vines, instantly turning most of the dark vines into ashes.
