"It's not easy to differentiate them. Most of the spirits are female, and most of them are formed from plants such as grass, trees, flowers, and trees. On the other hand, most of the spirits are male, and most of them are formed from flesh and blood. However, this is not a strict distinction. Take the ginseng spirit for example. Although it is a plant, it is also classified as a spirit, "Wu Man Er explained.
"It is said that the places where spirits and spirits live are usually filled with spiritual energy. It is a rare place with good feng shui. However, the spiritual energy here is mediocre. It doesn't seem to be the case," Shen Luo said.
"Well, it is a bit strange. The frog spirit is very cautious. Most of the time, it hides in the underwater palace built by itself in the mud at the bottom of the water. It will not come out of the water. It is almost impossible to see it from afar. Unless … "Wu Man Er muttered.
"Unless this is not its habitat," Shen Luo added.
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes immediately looked at a sandbank not far away.
There were lush water plants and a thick clump of reeds growing there.
Behind the reeds, there were slight ripples on the water surface. It looked calm, but in fact, there was a sneaky figure holding a bunch of transparent crystal wires in its hand.
Shen Luo and Wu Man Er's flying boat had just cruised nearby when the figure suddenly pulled the crystal wires in its hand. The water in front of it suddenly boiled.
A large net at the bottom of the water suddenly contracted, releasing a large amount of white electric light. The electric light hit the water surface and made a crackling sound. The bottom of the water was suddenly suffused with the color of blood.
A large number of fish and shrimps living in the water were stirred up by the electric light and filtered by the electric net.
"Woo … woo …"
A sound like a child crying was heard. The frog spirit was in the center of the electric net and could not escape. It was about to be captured by the electric net that was gradually contracting.
Wu Man Er's face showed a trace of pity. She raised her hand, but it was blocked by Shen Luo.
While she was puzzled, she saw Shen Luo raise his hand and wave it. A green talisman shot out from his sleeve like an arrow, stirring up waves on the surface of the water. The talisman was blocked by the waves stirred up by the electric net and shot into the water.
A muffled sound of thunder exploded. Suddenly, snow-white lightning shot out from the talisman paper. It mixed with the lightning of the electric net, but it did not merge. Instead, it blasted a huge hole in the electric net.
The frog spirit, who was originally at the end of its rope, immediately jumped out of the water when it saw the path of survival in front of it. Its body bounced in the air and directly drilled out of the hole in the electric net, falling into the water.
In the next moment, huge ripples appeared on the surface of the water. It was as if a firecracker had been thrown into the water, causing waves to rise several feet high.
The thick white smoke under the waves dispersed, and the figure of the frog spirit had already disappeared.
The human cultivator who had been lying in ambush in the water for many days emerged from the water in exasperation. However, he did not know how his electric net was broken. He could only slap the water surface and curse everywhere.
"Thank you, Brother Shen." Wu Man Er's eyes flashed with joy.
"It's nothing … But it seems that something has happened in the Dreamy Cloud Swampland recently," Shen Luo said in a low voice.
"Why do you say that?" Wu Man Er was puzzled.
"I don't know if you noticed the situation on the shore earlier. There were so many people gathered there, and they were all calling each other to form a team. It seems that they all gathered here temporarily. There shouldn't be so many people all year round, "Shen Luo said.
"Just because of this?" Wu Man Er raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Moreover, this frog spirit shouldn't have appeared here. It doesn't fit its cautious and timid nature. So, it was most likely that its original habitat was invaded and it was forced to escape. Since it was able to escape to the periphery of the Dreamy Cloud Swampland, it seems that something has happened in the Dreamy Cloud Swampland, "Shen Luo continued.
"Could it be related to the Divine Ginkgo Tree?" Wu Man Er frowned and asked.
"I don't know for now. But for us, it's most likely not a good thing." Shen Luo shook his head silently.
While the two were talking, a gust of wind suddenly appeared on the surface of the lake. In the distance, a thick white fog rolled and pushed towards them like a tall wall.
The thick fog rolled and quickly engulfed the flying boat.
Before the thick fog approached, Shen Luo had already probed it. The fog was not poisonous, but it seemed to be filled with a faint smell of blood and some Yin Qi.
"This fog is different from the one before. Let's be careful," Shen Luo warned.
Wu Man Er nodded and didn't say anything. She just shook the silver bell in her hand slightly.
Shen Luo knew that she was using the Gu Venomous Insects to explore the way, so he didn't ask anything.
The two moved in the fog for a while. The fog in front of them became thicker and thicker, and they couldn't see too far.
Shen Luo thought for a while and decided to light the guiding light first.
With a twist of his wrist, he took out the item that looked like a sky lantern. According to the instructions given by the shop assistant in Tianji City, he first tied the red rope under the lantern to the bow of the flying boat.
Then, he pressed his fingers together and a strand of magic power was injected into the guiding light.
In the body of the lantern, a bean-sized flame suddenly sprang up and swayed in the lantern.
Then, without any smoke coming out of the flame, the body of the lantern began to expand rapidly and flew leisurely into the air.
When it flew to a height of two to three feet, the guiding light was steadily suspended in the air.
Shen Luo gazed at it and saw a fan-shaped leaf pattern on the inner wall of the lantern. Under the illumination of the light, it shone with a golden luster.
At this moment, the sound of the wind on the surface of the lake gradually became louder. Unexpectedly, the guiding light that was suspended in the air was not blown back by the wind. Instead, it was tilted forward against the wind.
From the looks of it, it seemed that there was something in front of it that was attracting it.
"I see. They are so smart. They can sell the guiding light so easily. That's amazing." Wu Man Er clapped her hands and laughed.
"What do you see?" Shen Luo was puzzled.
"Brother Shen, what do you see inside the lantern?" Wu Man Er asked.
"Leaves … They look like the leaves of the ginkgo tree." Shen Luo looked carefully and said.
"That should be the leaves of the divine tree that we are looking for. The principle of the guiding light is to use the characteristics of the ginkgo tree's fallen leaves return to their roots." Wu Man Er laughed.
"Fallen leaves return to their roots?" Shen Luo was astonished.
"When the leaves of the ginkgo tree fall, because the spiritual energy inside has not dissipated, they will fall to the roots of the tree under the guidance of the divine tree. In the end, they will turn into energy and return to the divine tree," Wu Man Er explained.
"I see. This leaf in front of us is also because I injected magic power into it, which stimulated its fallen leaves return to their roots. So, as long as we follow the guiding light, not only will we not get lost, but we will also be able to reach the divine tree?" Shen Luo understood immediately.
"Just follow the guiding light and you will be dead."
At this moment, a somewhat delicate voice suddenly came from the air.
