Chapter 385 – Underground Attack
Chapter 385 – Underground Attack
In the small courtyard of the campground.
A few slender light red mutant doddering yin silks were swimming recklessly, their figures appearing and disappearing, coming in front of them without paying the slightest attention, trying to enter the body to parasitize.
However, just as they approached, they were firmly blocked by an aura shield and returned without success.
Lu Xuan stood at the edge of the aura shroud, while Feng Yu and the two of them were on the left and right, controlling the formation to prevent accidents.
After Fire Liner left, the fellow disciples who had returned to the camp in the past few days brought a few more Mutant Cuscuta, increasing the number of samples for Lu Xuan’s research experiments.
He entered the formation and let out a low roar towards the several days of Cuscuta Yin Silk.
The sound was like a dragon’s roar, majestic and domineering.
Previously, when the Jiao vine matured, Lu Xuan had opened a body refining technique called “Taixu Transformation Dragon Chapter” from the light mass, and practiced it diligently, coupled with the countless Jiao dragons in the Thousand Dragons Lake contributing fresh essence blood one after another, causing him to have an extremely deep attainment in this technique, and his low roar vaguely carried a hint of dragon authority.
The roar swept through, the free swimming, secretive movements of the mutant dodder yin silk seemed to be stimulated by something, instantly calmed down, the slender silk grass curled up, and soon became a small pale red grass cluster.
“Sure enough, the sound wave attack has a strange effect on these mutant dodder yin silk.”
Lu Xuan sighed with emotion as he continued to observe the Cuscuta Yin Silk that had shrunk into a ball.
After half an hour, the Cuscuta Yin Silk slowly stretched out and swam cautiously, looking for parasitic targets.
Seeing this, Feng Yu and the two men at the side were clear that Lu Xuan had made a qualitative breakthrough in the research of this mutant spirit plant, and they congratulated each other.
“Congratulations, Senior Brother Lu, for solving another Mutant Spirit Plant.”
“Senior Brother is worthy of being the most famous Spirit Plant Master in the sect, in just a few days he has solved this problem, I guess those few in the Spirit Sky Sect’s campsite are also ashamed of themselves.”
Although the two had long realized Lu Xuan’s profound attainments in Spirit Plants, they still felt exhilarated and surprised when they witnessed it again.
“We can inform Senior Brother Fire Liner and the others.”
Lu Xuan said indifferently, taking out a summoning talisman and telling Fire Liner about the discovery that the Mutant Cuscuta Yin Silk in its unparasitized state feared sonic attacks.
After solving this problem, Lu Xuan’s research task was much easier, and he then shifted his focus to exchanging spirit plants.
On this day, he arrived at the camp where the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect was located.
The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect was famous in the cultivation world for raising demonic beasts, and naturally, their knowledge of spiritual plants was not as good as that of the Spirit Sky Sect next door, so Lu Xuan tried to come over to pick up the pieces.
“Fellow Daoist Long, I wonder how you feel about my proposal?”
When he saw the lanky and clear female cultivator, he was clear that she was straightforward and didn’t like to beat around the bush, so he directly stated his intentions.
“Good, then we’ll exchange certain varieties of spirit plants as Fellow Daoist Lu said.”
Although Long Miao Miao didn’t know how, she could still copy homework.
The two sects, Spirit Sky Sect and Heavenly Sword Sect, exchanged mutant spirit plants with each other, and the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect in the campground naturally knew all about it, and even the spirit plants that were exchanged were exactly the same.
Lu Xuan naturally couldn’t wait to do so, taking out the Altered Spirit Plants needed by the other side, exchanging them for the desired Spirit Plants in the camp of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, and returning home with a full load of money.
Nightfall.
The Treading Cloud Lynx’s pair of turquoise eye pupils were particularly noticeable in the darkness, coldly scanning the surroundings, its line of sight occasionally landing on Lu Xuan, who was concentrating on his cultivation.
The pupils didn’t have any emotional color changes, only the two tufts of greyish-white hairs on the tips of the ears trembled slightly, indicating that it was in a pretty good mood right now.
The Demon Ghost Vine’s gray vines split into sections, like countless tentacles spreading out, lying motionless on the ground.
Suddenly, the Demon Ghost Vine seemed to have sensed something, and a section of its vines buckled up, sniffing around.
Immediately afterward, it violently pulled up and ruthlessly drilled into the dark red soil on the ground. “Eh?”
Lu Xuan was awakened by the movement of the Demon Ghost Vine, and exited from his cultivation state, quizzically looking at the Demon Ghost Vine that was drilling deeper and deeper.
With his mind coalescing around the gray vines, Lu Xuan sensed a thought transmitted by the Demonic Ghost Vine.
“Yummy yummy, so many of my favorite foods.”
“What do you mean? There’s a lot of things the Demon Ghost Vine likes under the ground?”
Lu Xuan wondered, the Demon Ghost Vine liked to eat spirit fruits, all parts of spirit plants as well as demonic beasts’ meat, while it was extremely sensitive to spirit species, for it to be able to make such a commotion, it would mean that there were a lot of spirit plants and demonic beasts coming towards the campsite from underground.
He was instantly alert in his heart, and the fifth-grade Yun Shen post in his mind was slightly lit up, and his spiritual sense was like getting an increase, soaring towards the ground.
In recent times, his Spiritual Sense had already improved quite a bit under the day and night nourishment of the Divine Embracing Post, and it finally came into play at this moment.
In his spiritual sense perception, deep underground, a large number of demonic beasts were coming towards the camp.
At the forefront were demonic beasts that were good at earth evasion and digging holes, smoothing out the obstacles for the rest of the spirit beasts to advance.
Lu Xuan noticed that all the demonic beasts had a weak aura on them, so they hadn’t been detected by the cultivators of the three sects in the camp until now.
At the same time, he sensed a faint hint of incoherence on the hundreds and thousands of demonic beasts, their movements were mechanical and dull, seemingly acting on instinct.
“It looks like puppets, could it be that all of these demonic beasts have been parasitized by the doddering yin silk?”
Lu Xuan had a sudden thought in his mind and pulled out the Demon Ghost Vine, handing it a Mutant Cuscuta Yin Silk.
“Do all those demonic beasts in the ground have the scent of this weird spirit plant in their bodies?”
Although the Demonic Ghost Vine didn’t have five senses and four limbs, it still had no problem with basic expression, and when it heard Lu Xuan ask this, it flew and nodded heavily.
“It looks like your feast is coming!”
Lu Xuan took out his Fourth Grade Wind and Thunder Sword, and many Fourth Grade Sword Talismans were fastened in various parts of his body so that he could inspire them at the first opportunity.
“There are several formations set up in the camp, all four sides as well as the air can be well protected, but I never thought that there would be such a large number of Demonic Beast Puppets finding another way to come up from the ground to sneak in.”
Lu Xuan couldn’t help but lament a sentence, and when he saw that Feng Yu and the two of them as well as the fellow disciples who had left the camp behind hadn’t reacted in the slightest yet, he transmitted his voice.
“Fellow Daoist Feng, Fellow Daoist Zhang, wake up, there are demonic beasts attacking the camp.”
The two of them were cultivating bitterly, when they heard this voice transmission from Lu Xuan outside the house, they woke up, their spiritual senses extended into the ground, and they all paled in unison, each getting fully prepared for battle.
“Roar!”
A two feet long earth yellow earth dragon drilled out from the dark red spiritual soil, emitting an urgent low roar from its mouth.
Dragon Miaomiao directly broke out of the house and came to this spirit beast of hers, and after a brief exchange, her expression changed and her voice resounded throughout the camp.
“Fellow Daoists, there are demonic beasts attacking from the ground in large numbers, please be more careful.”
This earth yellow earth dragon in her hand was adept at earth evasion and all sorts of earth techniques, so she quickly noticed the various changes in the spirit soil.
The cultivators within the camp, although they were all better at cultivating spiritual plants to raise spiritual beasts, after all, they were all disciples of the inner sects of the great sects, and they were not good at fighting only in relative terms, so they quickly finished their preparations, intending to give the crowd of demonic beasts whose minds had been manipulated a headbutt.
Lu Xuan and Feng Yu were surrounded by the two of them as well as several fellow disciples who were healing their wounds within the camp, their expressions serious.
Feng Yu slapped his storage bag and a blue aura shield flew out, enveloping everyone within.
