"This is already in the inner abyss, and the Abyss Tower is in the center of the inner abyss. Activating the Celestial Tablet consumed a lot of energy. I'll recover first. Call me when you pass through this wasteland. Also, be careful of these black pillars. " Before Liu Ming could speak, Mo Tian left a message and turned into a black light with the Celestial Tablet, entering Liu Ming's body.
Liu Ming didn't rush to move forward when he heard the words. Instead, he pondered for a while, raised his head and looked forward. His eyes suddenly flashed.
After a while, he frowned slightly.
Under a closer look, the black stone pillars that could be seen everywhere in this wasteland were actually some kind of super-large plant with a diameter of several meters. It seemed to be countless black vines twisted together, and then it went straight into the black mist in the sky.
In addition, at the end of the plain ahead, a large area surrounded by black fences could be vaguely seen. Even though it was at least hundreds of miles away, one could still feel the shocking corpse aura coming from it.
And the closer they got to the black fences, the denser these black stone pillars were.
Zhao Qianying's ears moved a few times. She frowned slightly and said, "I've never seen these stone pillar-like plants before.
"I've never seen these stone pillar-like plants before. However, although they are plants, they contain a fierce and brutal aura of life. It is indeed a little strange."
"Did you notice that there is no demonic creature here?" Liu Ming suddenly asked without rhyme or reason.
"That's right. Brother Liu, you mean … it's related to these stone pillars? "Zhao Qianying was startled at first, and then she looked shocked.
"If I guessed correctly, the demonic creatures in the sea of mist should also be afraid of these stone pillars, so they entrenched in the sea of mist and didn't chase out." Liu Ming said slowly.
As soon as this statement came out, Zhao Qianying couldn't help but be shocked.
"Let me try!" After a while, the woman raised the purple striped short bow in her hand and aimed at the nearest black stone pillar.
"Hua", in the woman's crisp incantation, a large black flame emerged from the bow.
"Wait!"
Liu Ming suddenly thought of something, and his expression changed as he hurriedly stopped him.
Zhao Qianying shuddered, but she still stopped chanting. She turned her head slightly and looked at Liu Ming with a puzzled expression.
"Wait here, I'll be right back."
When the word "come" left his mouth, a crackling sound came from Liu Ming's body. Lightning flashed wildly with a series of afterimages, and he disappeared into the black fog behind him in a flash.
Before Zhao Qianying could ask anything, Liu Ming had already vanished without a trace. This caused her to be unable to help but feel slightly depressed. She turned around and glanced at the black stone pillar in the distance. In the end, she stomped her feet and had no choice but to temporarily put down the violet striped bow in her hand and wait silently.
After the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, the black mist behind him tumbled violently, and then a figure wrapped in lightning flashed out. It was Liu Ming.
However, in his hand, he was also carrying a 20 to 30 meters long, gray demonic creature that looked like an ape. Its cultivation was roughly at the early stage of the Celestial Phenomenon State.
The ape's eyes were tightly closed as if it was knocked out by Liu Ming's punch. However, its body was full of vitality, and it was obviously still alive.
Liu Ming didn't say anything to Zhao Qianying. Instead, his figure flashed a few times and appeared less than 300 meters away from the nearest stone pillar. With a shake of his wrist, he threw the ape in his hand toward the black stone pillar.
At the same time, he retreated without thinking. He opened his mouth and spat out a black gas toward the ape in front of him.
The black gas fell on the ape's body. After its body shook, it suddenly opened its eyes and woke up.
However, in the next moment, when the ape saw the black stone pillar right in front of him, his expression suddenly changed as if he had seen something extremely terrifying. Black Qi wrapped around his body, and he roared as he tried to turn around and flee.
However, it was already too late.
The black stone pillar, which was originally like a towering stone pillar, suddenly became unusually soft as if it had come to life the moment the black gas emitted from the ape's body.
Then, an incredible scene appeared!
The whole black stone pillar suddenly bent in the direction of the ape, and the top part that was originally submerged in the black mist suddenly revealed itself. It was a huge black flower bud.
The flower bud suddenly bloomed and divided into three petals.
A black light flashed!
Numerous black silks shot out from the flower bud in a flash, piercing through the grey ape that was about to turn around and escape in an instant. Then, the black silks quickly circled around the ape and tied it up tightly!
A trace of despair flashed in the gray ape's eyes. Before it could let out a cry, it was directly pulled back into the black flower bud. Then, the three petals retracted, and the black stone pillar suddenly straightened. The whole black flower bud once again submerged into the billowing black mist above.
The whole process only took a breath or two. When the black flower bud submerged into the black mist above, Liu Ming's figure fell back to Zhao Qianying's side.
At this moment, Zhao Qianying was already dumbfounded. Her mouth was wide open, and she could not close it for a long time.
She had seen this gray ape in the sea of mist before. Its defense was far stronger than that of the Cadaveric Vulture, and its agility gave her quite a headache.
But the black silk that shot out from the black flower bud could easily penetrate the ape's defense, which showed how terrifying it was.
And these strange black stone pillars were everywhere in this wasteland, almost every few hundred feet, there was one. No wonder there was not a single demonic creature in this area.
"These stone pillar-like plants should be extremely sensitive to demonic energy. Once you get close to their attack range, even a Celestial Phenomenon expert may not be able to escape unscathed. If you face the attack of several stone pillars at the same time, you can only wait for death," Liu Ming said calmly.
Hearing this, Zhao Qianying swept her gaze forward and then nodded.
Liu Ming was right. It would be fine if they were at the periphery, but if they were to go a little deeper, it would be impossible to take a detour when faced with such a dense number of black stone pillars. Even a Tongxuan Realm expert might not be able to deal with them.
"Brother Liu, do you have any idea how to pass through this wasteland?" Zhao Qianying thought for a moment, but could not think of a good idea. She could only look at Liu Ming.
Liu Ming opened his mouth and was about to speak, but at this moment, in the depths of the forest of black stone pillars, the black pillar of light that rose from the center of the Inner Abyss suddenly weakened. After a few breaths, it actually dissipated.
The black mist in the sky began to tumble.
Rumble!
The forest of black stone pillars, which was originally motionless, seemed to have been awakened in an instant. It slowly began to dance and twist. At a glance, it looked like countless thick tentacles, which made one's scalp tingle and heart tremble.
Zhao Qianying's beautiful face turned pale. On the other hand, Liu Ming, who was at the side, quickly grabbed Zhao Qianying and brought her to the ground.
At this moment, these strange plants had already awakened. If they were to stay in midair, it would be too obvious. Naturally, it would be safer to stay on the ground.
However, the moment the two of them landed, the purple-lined bow in Zhao Qianying's hand trembled, and a large amount of black demonic flames burst forth, as though she was facing a formidable enemy.
"Don't!"
Seeing this, Liu Ming hurriedly tried to stop her, but it was already too late.
Sou!
A strange black tree in the vicinity seemed to have sensed something. Its trunk bent and flew toward the two of them. The black flower bud at the top of the tree suddenly opened, and countless black threads shot out from it, shooting toward the two of them.
Sizzling sounds rang out!
A rain of purple arrows shot out from the short bow in Zhao Qianying's hand.
Pu pu! Sounds of arrows flying!
These purple arrows fell on the oncoming black threads and black flower buds, creating a large purple halo, but they could not stop the approaching speed at all.
Liu Ming's face changed. He had just seen the power of these black threads. Not only was their penetrative power amazing, but even he was not sure that he could break free if he was entangled by them.
Without saying a word, he grabbed Zhao Qianying, then with a tap of his foot, he flew backward. At the same time, a thought flashed in his mind. He patted his left shoulder, and a green light of Che Huan's totem appeared on his body, enveloping both of them.
Pu pu pu!
The black threads almost brushed past the afterimage left by Liu Ming, and all of them shot into the black mist.
Then the black threads shrank back into the flower bud. The black flower bud swayed a few times, and the three petals opened and closed slightly, as though it was sensing something.
After a while, it finally slowly retracted.
Liu Ming's face was filled with joy. Just now, the two of them were not far from the strange black tree, but the strange black tree retracted after one attack. Obviously, Che Huan's totem had concealed their aura, so that the strange tree could no longer sense the devil qi emitted from them.
If that was the case, it should not be difficult to pass through the forest here.
"Thank you, Brother Liu, for your help … I wonder what kind of concealment magic that even these strange trees can't sense it?" Zhao Qianying finally recovered at this moment, and then said with a happy face.
"It's just an ordinary breath concealment secret technique, Miss Zhao, you flatter me." Liu Ming smiled faintly.
Zhao Qianying's beautiful eyes flashed, and she did not ask any more questions.
Now that they had found a way, the two of them did not linger here any longer. After another round of probing and confirming that the strange trees could not sense them, the two of them turned into a green shadow and slowly flew toward the black fence of the inner abyss.
In the following time, the green shadow passed through the strange black trees, not attracting the attention of the surrounding strange black trees, and naturally, it was not attacked.
After flying for a few thousand feet, Liu Ming finally completely relaxed. With a thought, the green shadow immediately increased its speed and flew toward the inner abyss at an incomparable speed.
The further they flew, the denser the surrounding strange black trees became, and the thicker the branches became. Some even exceeded ten or twenty feet in diameter, and black buds also grew on the black tree trunks.
Liu Ming was secretly shocked, and he pushed Che Huan's totem to the extreme. The green shadow became dimmer and dimmer, almost completely merging into the void.
Time passed, and the two had already flown into the black forest for less than a quarter of an hour. Liu Ming estimated that they should have flown for a few thousand miles, and there was still less than half of the distance to the area surrounded by the black fence in front of them.
However, the strange black trees here still stood there quietly, not imagining that they were dancing non-stop outside.
Liu Ming and Zhao Qianying looked at each other and saw a trace of horror in each other's eyes.
The inner abyss was extremely strange, and it was also extremely dangerous. If Liu Ming did not know Che Huan's magic power, it was almost impossible for the two of them to pass through here.
At this moment, Liu Ming's expression suddenly changed. A burst of fighting sounds came from ahead, mixed with the fierce shouts of demonic cultivators.
"Ah!" A shrill scream rang out, but it soon came to an abrupt stop. From the sound, it seemed to come from not far away to the left.
