Early the next morning, Shui Xuanying returned to Xuanying Cave and told Tang Yue who was waiting at the door, "The leader has learned about this and arranged for the disciples to step up the investigation. Do you still remember the place where the vine was found when the soul came out of the body?" "What else is there near it?" Tang Yue thought for a moment, "The location is the forest between the highest peak of the main peak and our mountain. I seemed to have seen a rotting corpse."
Grandpa said: "This body has not been found so far. It must have been dragged somewhere."
Tang Yue thought of the warehouse, "What strange things have been taken into the third-level treasure house of Wuji Mountain recently? ?”
“The treasure house collects common genius treasures. Only a month ago, I collected a meteorite, thinking about making it into a meteorite magic weapon in the future.”
“This piece. What happened to the meteorite? "
"The meteorite is also gone. It is the only lifeless thing among the disappeared treasures."
Tang Yue was very surprised. She discussed this with Meng Furong yesterday. The object may be a kind of curse, which was denied today. "In other words, the dark vine may be an extraterrestrial object?"
"There is this possibility. A sudden disaster has come. Wuji Mountain has already informed this matter. Shangqing Palace, the palace master sent a message, asking us to eliminate this vine within the territory and not let it spread to other places. If Wuji Mountain cannot be controlled, a large closed magic circle will be set up outside the mountain, and no living creature can leave. Wuji Mountain."
"Isn't this too serious? Isolating Wuji Mountain from other parts of Liuzhou Continent will bring great losses to Wuji Mountain."
Elder Shui looked solemn. , "That's exactly the case, but in order not to affect other areas, Shangqing Palace can do this kind of thing, so Wuji Mountain must make every effort to remove the black vines."
"Grandpa, I also want to contribute to Wuji Mountain and eliminate the vines."
"Wuji Mountain will give orders when you are needed, so don't worry."
What Tang Yue Yuanshen saw No rotting corpse was found, and many elders suspected that it was her imagination. The vines should not have spread to the main peak, and the entire mountain should not be covered with vegetation just for some illusion.
However, the meteorites and the living genius treasures in the warehouse were indeed missing, and we were not sure that there were no vines on the main peak, so we didn’t say anything more.
But Tang Yue saw their dissatisfaction and was helpless. He didn't believe her and just let it go. Even his grandfather's reputation was damaged.
She was sure that her soul had seen the vines and corpses, and the cold feeling was definitely not an illusion.
"Ayue, I believe you, let's go find it together." Senior sister suggested.
Tang Yue's mood improved a little. The senior sister is really a good person, "Okay, let's go and take a look. If there is any problem, it is best to take action."
Under the patient search of the two, they Some items of clothing were indeed recovered, seemingly from several individuals, but otherwise nothing else was found.
Tang Yue felt very strange. The black vines were so arrogant yesterday. Where are they today?
The senior sister was more attentive and suggested: "Let's go ask the main peak who have been missing recently and where they last disappeared. Maybe we can find something."
"Okay."
< br>After inquiries and investigations, it was found that many people were missing from the main peak. However, most of the missing people were outer disciples, so they did not attract enough attention. The population of the outer sect was very mobile, and it would take some time for the inner sect deacons to discover this matter.
And these missing people all ended up going to the dense forest where Tang Yue went when his soul left his body yesterday.
Tang Yue was really confused and put forward his conjecture with his senior sister, "Why do I feel that the vines on the main peak are much smarter and know how to cover up their tracks? Is this my illusion?"
< br>"The aura of the main peak is richer than other places, and the living creatures living here are more graceful. Maybe it is for this reason that the vines raging here are different."
Tang Yue thought about the words of his senior sister. , I remembered something, "The Spirit Beast Courtyard is not far from the main peak. The spirit beasts there often come to the mountains and forests here to look for food. Maybe you can find some information there."
Shang Fanling felt that What the junior sister said makes sense, "Okay, Brother Xu happens to be there and can provide us with some information."
The Spirit Beast Academy is built in a valley, with a larger space and environmental conditions than those in Kunwu City. The Spiritual Beast Courtyard is much better, full of vitality, with birds singing and flowers fragrant. There are not only birds and animals here, but also some insects, fish, etc. It is like a large ecological zoo. Tang Yue and Shang Fanling walked inside, changing from investigation to visit.
The two of them walked to a valley where butterflies were flying. They both thought it was very beautiful. Shang Fanling said: "Junior sister, I have never seen such colorful butterflies in the mountains and fields around Kunwu City. They are so beautiful."
"Yes, they are so beautiful."
Xu Tianwen, who took them to visit the Spiritual Beast Academy, felt funny in his heart. Sure enough, no matter how powerful the female cultivators are, they all love beautiful things, " This is the Colorful Soul Butterfly, which has the ability to confuse souls. It is still in the soul-gathering stage, and it can absorb people's souls when it reaches the body-building stage."
Tang Yue and Shang Fanling were startled and took a step back. Staying away from these beautiful creatures, it turns out that "Colorful Soul" also means "collecting souls."
Suddenly the Colorful Soul butterflies flew to one place, and Tang Yue was puzzled, "Is there something there?" "
"It should be that some creatures passed away and their souls left their bodies, attracting the colorful soul butterflies. ”
“Do they eat dead souls? "
"The Colorful Soul Butterfly does not eat dead souls, and the Colorful Soul Butterfly only eats raw souls during the body training period, but it will be attracted by the soul energy and the underworld energy on the road to the dead soul. "
Tang Yue wanted to know what creature died, "Senior brother, can we go there and have a look? "
"Okay, I just want to check what kind of spiritual beast died and record the cause of death. ”
There have been too many casualties of low-level spiritual beasts recently, and Xu Tianwen is also very troubled. He wants to find out the cause as soon as possible. If it is those damn vines, they must be burned. They cannot let this thing hurt the lovely creatures here anymore.
The three of them followed Cai Die and found a patch of grass. A rotten smell came towards them. Lying in the grass was a rotten python, dozens of meters long, as thick as two people, with its abdomen It was bulging, as if it had swallowed some large prey before death.
Xu Tianwen exclaimed: "Zhiyuan Jun, how did you become like this?"
Tang Yue and Shang Fanling were originally sad about this incident, but after hearing the python's After hearing the name, they still felt embarrassed for a while. Their own spirit beasts were all little white and red dolls. It was the first time they heard such a serious spirit beast name.
The three checked the surrounding grass and found no black vines. Tang Yue suddenly noticed that the belly of the dead python moved. After observing for a few breaths, I determined that this was not my illusion.
She stopped Senior Brother Xu, "Brother, I know you are sad, but the most important thing now is to find out the cause of Zhiyuan Jun's death and avoid the casualties of other spiritual beasts. I think there seems to be something in the belly of the python. , can we cut it open and take a look?"
Xu Tianwen took a deep breath and made up his mind, "Okay, I can only apologize to Mr. Zhiyuan. I will chant sutras for him for three days later and hope that he will. I will have a good pregnancy in my next life.”
Xu Tianwen often takes care of spirit beasts and has dissected many spirit beast corpses. At this time, he still cuts open the belly of the python.
A human corpse fell out of the python's belly. It was horrific and rotten even more severely inside the snake's belly. The three of them all looked around in disgust. Several vines were wrapped around the corpse.
The vine was originally trapped in the snake's belly, but now it was freed and instantly attacked the three people present.
In order to prevent the spirit beasts from escaping or rioting, the Spirit Beast Academy has many formations to trap the spirit beasts. Xu Tianwen immediately activated the formations and trapped the black vines.
Shang Fanling said: "It is indeed this thing. It seems that the spirit python swallowed the person killed by the black vine and crawled back to the spirit beast courtyard."
"Zhiyuan Jun , Why do you swallow everything? Now you are killing yourself!" Xu Tianwen's voice was full of grief.
Tang Yue stopped his sadness and suggested to him, "We should report this matter to the elders of the Spirit Beast Academy and Wuji Mountain, and we must not let this thing spread."
Xu Tianwen woke up from his grief, with firm eyes, "I must protect the safety of everyone in the garden, and I will never let this evil vine get close to our home again."
