Chapter 950 Devouring
"what happened?"
Xia Ruoxi immediately became alert and quickly dressed herself and helped Zhao Mu put on his clothes as well.
If a fight breaks out later, they'll be easily distracted by the other side in their current state.
"Feel it, savor it, really savor it."
Upon hearing this, Xia Ruoxi, though confused, did as instructed, carefully sensing the surrounding situation and even the changes within herself. After a moment, her eyes suddenly widened.
"You found out?"
Seeing the sudden change in Green Tea's expression, Zhao Mu knew that she had also noticed it.
"Ok!"
Xia Ruoxi nodded and said, "Although it is very weak, my life force is gradually fading away. If I don't notice, I might die here silently."
Once the life force is exhausted, it is as if the end has come, and even elixirs cannot save it unless the lost life force can be retrieved.
Each person's energy and spirit are unique.
Therefore, the lack of vitality cannot be compensated for by external things.
"Wood represents life force. This place is silently robbing us of our life force. Luckily we discovered it early. If we had continued walking like this, we probably would have died before we got very far."
Zhao Mu's expression was solemn as he murmured, "This ancient secret realm is truly dangerous!"
To plunder the life force, and over such a large area at that, let alone understand the mystery, he couldn't even imagine such a thing happening, because it was too inconceivable.
"So... how did Xu Shenghao get through here?"
This is a question that deserves serious consideration.
Of course, they didn't stay put to think; they immediately retreated outside.
"I don't know."
Xia Ruoxi shook her head and said, "Do you have any clues?"
"without!"
Zhao Mu also shook his head; this place was simply bizarre.
The loss of life force, though not significant, is definitely a major loss, as it cannot be replenished by external means, which may have some impact on subsequent cultivation.
This place must be cracked; at the very least, the lost life force must be reclaimed.
A dense forest, with trees of completely unknown species.
"Is it the life essence absorbed by these trees?"
After looking at it for a moment, Zhao Mu threw out a Xuanjin Thunder without hesitation.
Boom!
The explosion rang out instantly.
However, the result was...
Unharmed.
Yes, the seemingly ordinary trees didn't lose a single leaf after being hit by the explosion. This is not just absurd, it's utterly absurd.
"this....."
Xia Ruoxi was also shocked by this scene.
"Sure enough, there's something strange about these trees!"
Zhao Mu narrowed his eyes and immediately stepped forward, wanting to try to destroy a tree with brute force. However, as soon as he made a move, countless tree roots suddenly emerged from the ground, as flexible as arms.
Ding Ding Ding ~
Not daring to be careless, Zhao Mu immediately took out his heavy spear and began to fight.
These tree roots were ridiculously hard; even a heavy spear, nearly of the highest grade, couldn't cut them. It only made a few crisp sounds of collision, and Zhao Mu's hand was shaken and went numb.
This place is so weird.
Zhao Mu immediately withdrew; clearly, he had gone in the wrong direction.
These strange trees are no ordinary trees; in his opinion, Xu Shenghao is definitely no match for them.
Therefore, there must be other ways.
"Zhao Mu, look what that is!"
Ok?
Following the direction Xia Ruoxi pointed, there was a swaying flower, without roots, leaves, or even a stem, yet it gave people a feeling of vibrant life, swaying in the wind.
How could such a strange thing appear in a place with pure wood properties?
Could it be...?
"Grab it! That's the life essence that's being quietly absorbed!"
Zhao Mu suddenly realized.
"what!"
Xia Ruoxi was taken aback, and immediately joined forces with Zhao Mu to head straight for the strange flower.
However, this flower can actually run.
Moreover, it ran incredibly fast, and Xia Ruoxi couldn't catch up with it in a short time.
"You little punk, trying to run away? No way."
Zhao Mu immediately used his speed-enhancing technique, instantly blocking the way, grabbing the flower, and putting it in his mouth.
At the first glance, Xia Ruoxi came over immediately.
The two embraced tightly and kissed, slowly swallowing the flower formed from the essence of life in their mouths.
After it ended.
Zhao Mu and Xia Ruoxi both discovered that not only had their lost life essence returned, but they had even increased it.
"this....."
"A tremendous opportunity!"
Their eyes lit up. Life essence was a very magical thing, which was of great benefit to cultivation. However, in their previous understanding, it was impossible for this thing to be enhanced by external objects.
But now.....
"Are we... considered heretical cultivators?"
Xia Ruoxi looked at Zhao Mu with some uncertainty.
There is a type of heretical cultivator who uses extremely evil methods to extract the life essence of cultivators for their own use.
This is a quick way to achieve success, and it's also something that everyone condemns.
There was once an evil emperor in the evil cultivator camp. In just 170 years, he transformed from an ordinary person into an evil emperor who ruled over a region. Back then, in order to destroy this evil emperor, many top forces in Kunwu Continent sent out a lot of powerful people.
It took a huge price to erase it.
Since then, this method has become taboo, and anyone discovered using it will be hunted down and killed.
However, the allure of quick success is irresistible, and over the years, people have continued to follow suit. The mission lists of righteous sects have always included missions to eliminate these evil cultivators.
The life essence that evil cultivators dream of can be easily captured by them at this moment.
Of course, this is all predicated on the existence of the bug that is Zhao Mu.
If she came here alone, she would probably have a hard time catching even one flower.
If there is a first flower, then there must be a second one.
Of course, it's also possible that they were all caught by that bastard Xu Shenghao.
We need to look for it some more.
"What's that worth!"
Zhao Mu said calmly, "We haven't used any evil means to harm anyone. These flowers, formed from the essence of life, are too good to pass up."
"Hehe, found another one, let's follow!"
The next moment, before Xia Ruoxi could react, Zhao Mu rushed forward again and grabbed the second flower bud formed from the condensation of life essence.
This time, without Zhao Mu needing to remind her, she took the initiative to kiss him.
The two quickly refined the rich life essence.
"Isn't this density a bit too high?"
Soon, Zhao Mu noticed the problem and asked in confusion, "Could it be that Xu Shenghao didn't discover this secret at all? Then how did he get through this place?"
Zhao Mu didn't believe Xu Shenghao would let such an incredible opportunity slip by.
However, if he had really just been killed and captured, there would be no way he could have captured two flowers in such a short time.
"Who cares? Just arrest them if you see them!"
Xia Ruoxi has now put the question of whether he is an evil cultivator out of her mind; all she sees are the life essence flowers that are running around everywhere.
