Chapter 271 Daughter of Bai Chen's Bloodline
There are no cherry blossom trees?
Xu Ning rushed to the location of the Divine Cherry Tree immediately.
The slightly raised ground was overgrown with weeds. There were no wooden steps, no stone platform guarded by foxes, and no trace of divine cherry blossoms or any trees that had ever grown there.
"It wasn't destroyed, it was never even planted."
Xu Ning's heart sank. No wonder the entire Inazuma area was shrouded in black mist.
Without the protection of the Divine Cherry Tree, once those naturally corrosive dark forces appear on a large scale, they will be unstoppable, just like now, leaving us helpless to watch them devour every inch of land.
The reason why Shadow Mountain has not fallen to this day is probably because of the barrier set up by Fox Palace.
Although I don't know the situation at Coral Palace, from what I see here, Mount Kagetoshi seems to be the last inch of pure land for Inazuma.
Although he didn't know how he got here, Xu Ning knew that leaving someone in distress was not his style.
The most urgent task is to relocate the women and children guarding this place to the Hidden Dust Cave. With these burdens gone, and with the combined strength of the demon clan's Mikoto Chiyo and Lord Kitsui-no-miya, escaping from this near-destruction Inazuma shouldn't be a problem.
Then she continued to cling to the Emperor's leg in Liyue.
Xu Ning's plan was not bad, but when he placed the Dust Concealment Gourd, as soon as he let go, the Dust Concealment Gourd fell to the ground and rolled three times.
"What the hell?! The ground isn't level?"
Xu Ning picked up the gourd and tried several different places, but there was no place where he could place the gourd properly and open the Dust-Hidden Cave.
Xu Ning anxiously examined the gourd from all angles. The contents were correct; the wind imprint and rock patterns on the dragon's body were still there, and the red rope tied by Shen He on the gourd's waist was also correct. So why couldn't he open the Dust-Hidden Cave?
"Is it you cowardly god who's behind this? Qingyi, and that slacker, get out here together!"
Even though they were facing a life-or-death situation, the people on the mountaintop were still attracted by Xu Ning's behavior of throwing the gourd back and forth. Some of the children who were frightened by the beast hounds even forgot to cry and stared blankly at Xu Ning, who was desperately roaring and struggling with the gourd.
Seeing that the Dust Concealment Gourd was completely still, Xu Ning realized that since it couldn't house the cave, neither he nor anyone else could enter or leave.
He then tried to use the gourd's wind and rock elemental powers and found that he could manipulate them at will, which made Xu Ning feel a little more at ease.
Xu Ning calmed down and communicated with the Wind God's Heart within the Dust-Hidden Cave Heaven, using the flowing winds inside to explore the situation. He also wanted to retrieve the Peak-Chopping Blade that he had placed in the cave heaven.
However, this investigation took Xu Ning by surprise.
The Dust Concealment Cave was completely empty; there was nothing there at all!
The feeling was just like when I first entered the Hidden Dust Cave with the help of Granny Ping.
There were no houses or any other facilities, and even many of the things I had put in there had disappeared without a trace.
Strangely, there was only one spring of wine in the cave, instead of the six springs of wine and one spring of water in the current Dust-Hidden Cave.
And the most outrageous thing is the woman sleeping on the bluestone slab at the foot of Jiuquan.
His hair was disheveled, his arms and feet were bare, his clothes were in disarray, and he was sleeping in a very bad posture, sprawled out on his back.
"Could this be the situation when Qingyi sealed herself away and hid back then?"
Xu Ning opened his eyes and looked at Mikoto Chiyo, who was slaying the beast-like hound at the main gate of the shrine, and at Kitsune Sōgū, who was nowhere to be seen. "It seems that everyone except myself has returned to five hundred years ago. Never mind, I need to figure out how to get through this crisis first."
Having made up his mind, Xu Ning uncorked the Dust Concealment Gourd in his hand and then gulped down a mouthful of wine.
This sip of wine was provided by the only spring of wine in the Hidden Cave.
One bite and the effect is immediate.
A voice that sounded like a synthesized machine suddenly rang in Xu Ning's ears.
"The level 2 host drank the 'Memories of the Golden Goblet at the Banquet' and broke through level 40."
As soon as the liquor entered his mouth, Xu Ning sensed something was wrong on his tongue; the taste of this liquor was too vivid in his memory.
So far, I only used 225 Wine Seals to exchange for a small cup when I broke through to level 20.
Now, taking advantage of the ley line disturbance, he has gained several waves of experience and has already pushed his level to the critical point of level 40. However, due to insufficient Wine Seals, he is unable to make a breakthrough.
Who would have thought that one day, on the land of Inazuma hundreds of years ago, a casual sip of water would provide the opportunity for a breakthrough?
However, Xu Ning couldn't check his post-breakthrough panel right now. On the other side of the cliff where the Thunder Cherry Tree hadn't been planted, several Beast Realm Hounds swarmed towards the barrier's light screen.
"Somebody come!"
A warrior in armor brandished his longsword, and immediately two or three others responded to his call, surrounding the location where the Beast Hound was about to break through.
It was only at this moment that Xu Ning saw the ability of those beast-hunting hounds to dissolve the boundary.
Although the barrier in front of them kept them out, the beast hounds opened their mouths wide.
Puffs of black mist spewed from their mouths, the corrosive fog clinging to the invisible barrier and instantly tearing a small hole in it.
One after another, terrifying beasts broke through the barrier and began to attack all living things in the surrounding area indiscriminately.
The leading warrior seemed to have been prepared for this situation. With a flash of purple light, his long sword slashed at the beast hound that had broken in.
The others followed suit, each swinging their swords at the enemy in front of them.
The barrier was eroded by a hole, and the many beast-hunting hounds that had been roaming outside instantly swarmed toward the spot like wolves that had smelled blood.
Xu Ning glanced at the warrior who had just swung his sword. He saw that the blade of the sword was faintly crackling with lightning, and a lightning-type divine eye at his waist was shining brightly. He should have no problem leading those few people to deal with the monsters that had already poured in.
After taking two steps forward and facing the hole in the barrier, Xu Ning, after a brief gathering of strength, unleashed a powerful "Drinking Song" attack, carrying with it a strong aroma of alcohol, towards the hole.
"I've been wanting to try my luck on you for a while, but you've been hard to find. Now that you've delivered yourselves to my doorstep, let me see what's so special about you 'lye'!"
The dragon-shaped aura, brimming with vitality, burst through the hole in the barrier and surged into the pack of beast-hunting hounds.
In an instant, just as fire melts snow, the black mist emanating from the hound that had been hit head-on by "Bring in the Wine" was completely dissipated, and its skeletal body began to crumble apart.
"Oh, it's a very peculiar power!"
A slightly surprised exclamation rang out, and through the breach in the barrier, a beautiful woman with fox ears dressed in white, her fluffy fox tail swaying, gracefully walked in.
Xu Ning gazed at the daughter of Bai Chen, the one whose bloodline was most unforgettable to Inazuma.
Then, I couldn't help but look at the little pink fox on her shoulder.
