Chapter 31: Taking Advantage(1/2)
The stacked bones are connected to each other, like a spire made of building blocks, pale and eerie.
Most of the bones were in dilapidated condition, and many skeletons still had centipedes crawling through their eye sockets.
"This, so many dead people!"
"There are too many corpses, there are thousands of them!"
"How many people did these vines eat?"
Several people screamed in shock, and Wu Dachuan fell to the ground in fright.
Yun Que actually did not agree with his companion's judgment.
The mountain of bones in front of me may not be caused by vines.
The identity of the bones cannot be determined, but judging from the degree of decay, they definitely did not die at the same time.
The further down the body is, the earlier the person died.
The entire White Bone Mountain took at least several years to accumulate.
The foggy mountains were only formed in two or three months.
If the heavy fog is a strange phenomenon brought about by the vines, then the white bones in the heart of the mountain are probably what attracted the vines.
Yun Que guessed,
Strange vines are attracted by the breath of these bones, and then take root in the foggy mountains, swallowing up the living creatures that enter the mountains.
When White Bone Mountain appeared, Wu Dachuan and others became even more frightened and planned to leave immediately.
"Vine!" Luo Xiaoyu pointed to a high place and said, "There seems to be something in the vine!"
Several people then looked around, and Yun Que also raised his head to look.
Through the twisted vine-shaped strange tree, I saw a vague blue outline.
It looks like a giant flower embedded in the center of the strange vine tree.
"Flower? Is it a piranha?"
Luo Xiaoyu shrank her shoulders, startled by her own guess.
"It must be a strange flower on the vine! Let's run away!" Wu Dachuan stood up tremblingly and wanted to run away.
The other three people also wanted to escape. They had been sucked a lot of blood by the vines, and now their legs were weak and they were weak.
Even if I wanted to escape, I couldn't run fast, so I could only move out step by step.
"Not a living thing."
Yun Que slowly shook his head and stared at the strange blue flowers in the vines.
His eyesight was very good, and he could see that the strange flower existed alone, not connected to the vines, as if it was wrapped and imprisoned, similar to what happened to Wu Dachuan and others.
At this time, something strange happened to the strange vine tree.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
All the vines suddenly tightened and wrapped around the strange flower, trying to strangle it.
At the same time, a sharp aura emitted from the strange green flower, cutting off the vines wrapped around it.
This confrontation lasted for tea time.
The strange flower's aura is getting weaker and weaker, and it looks like it won't last long.
The vines loosened and rolled into twists, continuing to trap the strange flowers, like a seasoned fisherman, exhausting the fish's strength little by little.
Witnessing this strange scene, Wu Dachuan and others opened their eyes wide with incredible expressions on their faces.
Vine is by no means a dead thing, and it has a very high intelligence!
Yun Que's pupils narrowed and he whispered two words.
"Sword energy..."
That's right, at the moment when the vines and strange flowers were clashing, he felt the presence of the sword energy.
Right on the strange flower!
A flower is unlikely to emit sword energy.
However, some swords can exist in the form of flowers.
"That's not a flower, but a sword."
When Yun Que said these words, his heart moved.
He felt that the strange flower opposite looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for the moment.
Hearing this, Luo Xiaoyu and others were also greatly surprised, and curiously looked at the strange flower again, but no one could see the reason.
Only Wu Dachuan's expression gradually became dull.
"Sword energy, flowers, magic weapon..." Wu Dachuan suddenly exclaimed: "It's the Hua Ling Sword! The Hua Ling Sword of the number one swordsman in the South Academy!"
At the same time, Yun Que also had an idea.
He finally remembered where he had seen that blue flower!
If you shrink the blue and white flowers a hundred times, they will become a sky-blue flower hairpin shape.
And this hairpin was hung on Mu Qingyao's long hair on the day Yun Que first entered the imperial city!
The blue and white hairpin is Mu Qingyao's hairpin, and it is also the essence of her magic weapon, the Flower Spirit Sword.
"Mu Qingyao..."
Yun Que's eyes became complicated.
The Flower Spirit Sword is trapped here, and it can stimulate sword energy. Apparently Mu Qingyao is also trapped inside.
If left alone, the Flower Spirit Sword will never last long. Judging from the situation of the confrontation between the two sides just now, it may be defeated soon.
Once she loses the protection of the magic weapon, Mu Qingyao's fate can be imagined.
He must die miserably here!
Yun Que couldn't leave now.
He didn't care about the marriage contract between Yun Mu and his family, it was dispensable.
If the Mu family didn't want to cause trouble and didn't want to get involved with him, Dayan's number one star, it wouldn't matter if they broke off the engagement, and he would even agree with it.
But he couldn't help but watch Mu Qingyao die in this trap.
After all, she is the daughter of her father's old friend.
"Beauty is a curse, women are indeed trouble."
With a slander, Yun Que asked Wu Dachuan and others to stay away from this place and find a safer place to regain their strength and escape from the cave as soon as possible.
He himself walked towards White Bone Mountain.
Walk towards the weird and terrifying vines and the azure sword flower.
"Junior brother Yun, be careful!"
Wu Dachuan kindly reminded: "It's a good story about a hero saving a beauty, but when a person is about to die, he can't bear the blessing of saving so many beauties."
Yun Que paused, turned his back to a few people, and smiled helplessly.
"I'm not interested in heroes, and I'm even less interested in saving beauties. I just don't want to be known as someone who abandoned my wife and children."
It's already a bunch of unpleasant names like 'the number one broom star in Dayan', 'the prodigal marquis', 'the nail house in Yanmen Town' and 'the useless prince'. If you add to it the words 'will not save the man until he dies, but will abandon his wife and son'.
Hou', that Yun Que is really too embarrassed to see anyone.
If others don't save her, how can she not save a daughter-in-law who has never been born before?
As long as the engagement contract still exists, Mu Qingyao will be his Yun Que's person.
I have to go even if I risk my life!
Yun Que can do without fame, but not reputation.
Wu Dachuan and Luo Xiaoyu looked at each other, but no one understood what it meant to abandon a wife and son.
Seeing that Yun Que was determined to go, they had no choice but to support each other and retreat away from the range of White Bone Mountain.
The rustling sound appears again!
The vines seemed to sense the weakness of the Flower Spirit Sword and quickly launched a second wave of attacks.
From high up, more slender vines hang down, entwining themselves into arms-thickness, like pythons, strangling towards the Flower Spirit Sword.
The sword energy on the flower burst out again, and it was difficult to defend.
As the sword energy becomes weak, loopholes appear.
A green vine invaded the top of the flower, instantly splitting into countless tiny green vines, and gradually pried the flower open.
Seeing that the flowers are about to be unable to hold on any longer.
To be continued...
