The withered forest was huge and had no distinguishing features. Apart from the cracked ground and withered ancient trees, there was nothing else. There was no sun or moon in the sky. If it wasn't for the fact that Qin Shi could sense the energy flowing deep underground, it would be very easy for him to get lost here. After walking for another day, Qin Shi and Zhang Chen suddenly stopped. Qin Shi's gaze was fixed on a spot a kilometer away. "It's there!"
Qin Shi could sense that the energy was no longer flowing in one direction. Instead, it was gathered in the center from all directions.
"It's here?"
Zhang Chen revealed a greedy expression. He took a few steps forward and went around the withered tree that blocked his view. Shortly after, an unusual grey light appeared on the yellow soil. It instantly attracted Zhang Chen's demonic eyes. "It's this aura!
It's definitely the Origin Evil Grass! "
Qin Shi also nodded. At this moment, he slightly hooked his finger and made a grabbing motion with his palm. A Saint Spirit Space that he had shrunk appeared and he used his Spiritual Energy to gently push it towards the grey light.
"Buzz!"
When the Saint Spirit Space covered the grey light, Qin Shi and Zhang Chen could clearly see the situation inside. In the center of the grey light, there was a space that wasn't barren. It was about ten meters wide and the ground was green. The grass was abnormally lush and the flowers and plants were dense. The density was tens of times higher than the outside world. Even the most common dandelion could grow to the height of two people. The grass was also like a sickle, densely packed. It was as if all the water and nutrients in the withered forest were gathered here.
In the middle of the dense flowers and grass, there was an extremely strange statue. That statue was extremely peculiar. It was three meters tall, with six eyes between its brows and nine tails behind it. It was in the shape of a human, and it was sitting in a kneeling position. In front of its feet, there was a pale grey flower. That flower looked extremely ordinary, and there was nothing unusual about it. However, the surrounding air seemed to be in a trance.
Seeing the flower, Qin Shi and Zhang Chen were both shocked. Qin Shi didn't know what the flower was, but he felt a strong killing intent from it that he had never felt before. Moreover, the killing intent wasn't the same as what he had seen before. It wasn't suppressed by any bloodline, nor was it mixed with any emotions or strange powers. It was the purest, untainted power.
"It's the Origin Evil Grass!
It really is the Origin Evil Grass! "Zhang Chen said excitedly.
Zhang Chen's eyes were shining. Even with his World Realm power, he couldn't help himself. That showed how rare and precious the Origin Evil Grass was.
Although they had found the Origin Evil Grass, the two of them hadn't done anything yet. Zhang Chen was especially alert because he knew that when a treasure like this was born, there would be a super xenogeneic guarding it. Qin Shi spread out his soul power to cover a radius of ten thousand meters, but the result was shocking. It made Qin Shi frown. "Nothing?
Nothing at all? "
Qin Shi couldn't believe it. With his current soul power, not even a World Realm being could hide. That meant … there were only two possibilities. One, they were overthinking it, and the Origin Evil Grass didn't have a xenogeneic guarding it. The second possibility … Qin Shi didn't even dare think about it. The guardian xenogeneic's power was higher than a World Realm being. Was it a Super World being?
"The former is fine, but the latter … is a big problem."
"Is it big?
It's just too big. "Zhang Chen had a wry smile.
Therefore, the two of them calmed down and observed the situation in a withered tree trunk for a day and a night. During this period, Qin Shi released two clones into the grass forest in the center, but they did not find anything strange. On the second day, Zhang Chen finally could not hold it in anymore. He stood up and said, "Forget it!
Kid, cover me. I'm going in to pick up the Origin Evil Grass. "
After that, Zhang Chen jumped ten meters into the flower. Qin Shi wanted to stop him, but he couldn't. He cursed, "What a cunning guy!"
Immediately after, Qin Shi became extremely vigilant. His psyche power once again expanded to a radius of thirty thousand meters. All the living creatures within thirty thousand meters were reflected into his sea of consciousness, not even the slightest fly was let off. Of course, there were no flies or living creatures in this dead forest. It was like a vast wasteland, the most desolate period of the ancient times. Other than the ten meter flower in the center, the two places were completely different.
As soon as he entered the ten-meter flower, Zhang Chen also shrank his neck. The vitality in the flower was so rich that it was terrifying.
But after a while, apart from the excessive vitality, there was nothing unusual. Zhang Chen even felt very comfortable, which made him happy. He turned around and told Qin Shi that everything was fine. Then he carefully walked to the stone statue in the center. Zhang Chen was quite superstitious. He kowtowed three times in front of the stone statue, and then carefully picked up the Origin Evil Grass. At the moment when he picked it up, both he and Qin Shi were extremely nervous. Some treasures would only be protected after being touched by others. However, the two of them thought too much. Everything was still quiet, and the guardian did not appear at all.
This made Zhang Chen ecstatic. Immediately, he rushed out of the ten-meter flower and said excitedly, "Boy, I did it!"
Qin Shi nodded happily for him. "Well, it seems that this Origin Evil Grass really has no guardian. We thought too much."
But hearing this, Zhang Chen's face suddenly became more embarrassed. He said with a gloomy face, "Doesn't that mean that I've lost more?"
"What do you mean?" Qin Shi did not react and was stunned.
Zhang Chen said coldly, "Think about it. Originally, I wanted you to help me deal with the guardian. That's why I agreed to help you find the other spirit herbs and treasures. But there is no guardian at all!
Can't I pick those spirit herbs myself?
In the end, they all fell into your hands! "
Qin Shi suddenly understood and laughed. "I can't help it. This is fate!"
"Brat!
Give me back my treasures! "
"That won't do!
How can I spit them out when they are in my pocket, Qin Shi's?
I advise you, don't do anything stupid!
You won't have a good ending if you provoke me! "
"I don't care!"
Zhang Chen bared his fangs and brandished his claws. No matter what, he wanted Qin Shi to give him some more treasures. But suddenly, he caught up to Qin Shi. Qin Shi froze on the spot, staring blankly at something behind Zhang Chen.
Seeing this, Zhang Chen frowned and said, "Boy, what's with that expression?
Don't try to lie to me. "
"No, no!" Qin Shi shook his head in disbelief and pointed. "You, you turn around …!
I promise … you won't want these treasures anymore. "
"Hmm?" Zhang Chen hesitated. Seeing that Qin Shi did not want to lie, he turned around. Then, he was stunned.
"How, how is this possible?"
Zhang Chen exclaimed. He immediately lowered his head to look at the Origin Evil Grass in his hand before raising his head to look at the stone statue in the middle of the flower ten meters away … He saw that there was another Origin Evil Grass that emitted a light gray glow in front of the stone statue. It was as if nothing had happened. If it wasn't for the fact that there was an Origin Evil Grass in his hand, Zhang Chen would have thought that he was hallucinating.
"There, there are two Evil Grass?" Zhang Chen said in shock.
Qin Shi also narrowed his eyes. He really could not figure out what was going on.
Zhang Chen did not care so much. The Evil Grass was the treasure of the Devil Realm. It was difficult to find one, let alone two.
He didn't even think about it. He jumped ten meters into the flower and picked the second Origin Evil Grass.
After getting two Evil Grass, his demonic eyes were wild with joy. "This time, I've made a big profit!"
However, when he walked back to Qin Shi's side, Qin Shi's expression was even more shocked and even stiff …
Seeing this, Zhang Chen curled his lips and said, "Alright, don't look so serious. I don't want those treasures!
Two Evil Grass, I've made a profit. "
Qin Shi swallowed his saliva and shook his head. "No … I think, not only did you make a profit, but you made a killing!"
"What do you mean?" Zhang Chen muttered and looked back. Then, he opened his mouth wide on the spot.
"This … this, this is real?"
Zhang Chen's mouth was wide enough to fit a fist. He stared at the gray light in front of the stone statue. "Another, another one?
Is God joking with me? "
Qin Shi felt his heart bleeding. He never thought that there would be three Evil Grass in a row. If this was in the Devil Realm, wouldn't it startle the Nine Provinces?
But immediately, Qin Shi was lost in thought. "No!
There was definitely something wrong … These three Origin Evil Grasses grew from the same root?
That is to say, these three Evil Grass are actually just one? "
Thinking up to here, Qin Shi suddenly had a bold idea. He took a step forward and plucked an ordinary spirit herb from the ten meter tall flower. Then, he stared fixedly at that ordinary spirit herb's rhizome … Suddenly, that rhizome actually grew a new spirit herb at a rapid pace?
It was as if Qin Shi had never picked it.
Zhang Chen also noticed this strange phenomenon. He was stunned. Then, his eyes glowed with golden light. "This, this is too magical, right?
Doesn't that mean that as long as I don't pull out the root of this Evil Grass, I can get as many as I want?
How many Evil Grass can I get? "
Suddenly, Zhang Chen couldn't help but drool. If it was really as he imagined, then it was really amazing.
Qin Shi ignored him. He directly dug out a spirit grass and took out a Domain Immortal Flower that he had obtained earlier. It was a kind of low-grade immortal spirit grass that could enhance the cultivation base of the Domain Realm. When he buried the root of the spirit grass, as he expected … In just the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, a new Domain Immortal Flower grew, which completely stunned him.
"This … this is equivalent to duplicating spirit grass?
This is simply a paradise for alchemists! "
However … the two of them didn't realize that as the two of them plucked spirit herbs from the ten-meter garden in the center, the withered forest was invisibly spreading throughout the Longevity Ridge. Soon, the withered forest that was originally 100,000 meters in circumference had grown to 200,000 meters in circumference. Looking down from above, it was a terrifying wasteland. The ground was dry and cracked, and all living things were dying.
