The invasion of the abyss begins with the Laughing at the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 26: Abyssal Devil Vine
"There is no such thing as a free lunch. Food delivered to your door often means unpredictable dangers, or even bait or poison."

"Before, you also hunted me down, leaving me with nowhere to go. This time we are even. We owe each other nothing. Have a safe journey, Brother Leopard!"

After using the same method to deal with the leopard, the surging torrent flowed through his skin, flesh and bones, especially his feet. Shen Yuanliang felt much lighter, as if he could fly away with the wind at any time.

Shen Yuanliang jumped lightly and easily onto the branch, then started to run a little. The cold wind whistled past his ears, and the thorns and grass on the roadside passed by quickly.

At this moment, Shen Yuanliang was like a breeze in the mountains, running freely and venting his inner anxiety and depression.

The disaster of the sky crack was like a sword of Damocles hanging over his head at all times, forcing Shen Yuanliang to not slack off at all and to keep "running".

Of all things in the world, only force can make Shen Yuanliang feel at ease and give him the confidence to face all dangers. This is also the reason why he is so eager to undergo the trial of life and death.

However, after combining the strength of a tiger, the physique of a bear, and the speed of a leopard, Shen Yuanliang's body had reached its limit, like an inflated balloon.

There was even a faint "crunching" sound from deep in his blood, reminding him to stop, unless...

……

Death Valley is less than thirty miles away from here.

The white wind is raging wildly in the northern land, but Death Valley is like spring all year round. Everywhere you look, it is emerald green, so lush and green that it reveals a sense of something unusual.

This is the life forbidden zone of Daqing Mountain. No matter what kind of ferocious animal breaks in, it will be killed in less than a moment and become fertilizer for plants.

Among the lush vegetation, one could vaguely see white bones that were two to three meters long, or even five to six meters long. They were clean and without a trace of flesh and blood. It was unknown what kind of animal they were.

Other bones such as bear bones, tiger bones, pig bones, etc. are countless and scattered all over the ground, like a cemetery for dead animals.

At this moment, there were hundreds of people stationed on the edge of the Death Valley. All of them were sturdy, full of energy, with rough hands covered with thick calluses, and their eyes were cold and sharp.

Judging from their clothing and the rat tails on their heads, they were all slaves of the Later Jin Dynasty.

"Flag Master, the Death Valley is ahead. It is very likely the place we are looking for."

A Bai Bayala, wearing three layers of armor including cotton armor, chain mail and iron armor, opened the tent, knelt on one knee and said respectfully.

The elite soldiers in the Later Jin army were called "Bayala". Among the 300 regular soldiers in each Niulu, there were less than ten white Bayala.

Bai Bayala, also known as the white-armored soldier, who is wearing three layers of armor, has a strength no less than the seventh level of martial arts. With the armor on his body, even the sixth level of martial arts is no match for him.

"Rest for a while, the whole army will explore Death Valley later."

In the central army tent, the leader of the Zhenglan Banner, Heshuo Beile Aisin-Gioro Manggurtai, wiped the sword in his hand and gave the order expressionlessly.

As the fifth son of Nurhaci, Aisin-Gioro Manggurtai annihilated the troops of Ming general Du Song and Liu Jing in the Battle of Sarhu 10 years ago and made great military achievements.

In the seventeenth year of Wanli's reign, fire fell from the sky, the sky cracked, and the abyss where all things return to accidentally set its sights on the Ming world. The Jurchens, who were close to the water and had the upper hand, hooked up with the Porcupine Clan of the Abyss.

After gaining the support of the Abyss Porcupine Clan, the Jurchens grew rapidly. In just thirty years, Nurhaci unified the Jurchen tribes and established the Later Jin Khanate. Two months ago, the Abyss Messenger suddenly sent down an "oracle" and asked the Later Jin Khanate to make every effort to find the Abyss Demon Vine that was about to be reborn.

Therefore, Manggurtai, who should have enjoyed countless honors, under Nurhaci's instructions, took half of his Baibayala to search everywhere for the Abyss Demon Vine mentioned by the "envoy".

"set off!"

After an incense stick of time, surrounded by hundreds of Baibayalas, Manggurtai, dressed in armor and holding a shiny new sword, broke into the Death Valley.

The heavy footsteps stepped on the frosty white bones. The seemingly extremely solid animal bones turned into powder in an instant, as if they had been weathered for thousands of years.

Countless corpses were hidden under the emerald green grass. The entire Death Valley was devoid of birds and silent. The only sound left was the clashing of soldiers' armor and the sound of their footsteps, which echoed in the valley and seemed particularly harsh and eerie.

An ominous premonition came to his mind. Bai Bayala, who usually killed people like crazy, held his breath and dared not even breathe, for fear of disturbing the evil creature sleeping in the valley.

"what!"

At this moment, a vine hundreds of feet long, like a poisonous snake, "swooshed" out from the grass and trees, and then pierced into the chest of a white Bayala, "gurgling" and sucking blood.

The three layers of armor seemed to be made of paper and were completely useless against the vines. Only a skeleton and thin skin were left behind, which looked extremely eerie and terrifying.

One after another, after a while, the crisp-colored vines gradually turned bright red, crystal clear, like a ruby ​​of extremely high purity, with an indescribable sense of enchantment.

"Everyone must not retreat, rush forward."

"King Khan has ordered that after completing the mission, all those who complete the mission will be promoted three levels, rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver, and be granted the title of first-class viscount."

Most of the hundred or so Baibayala soldiers were killed, but Manggurtai was not in a hurry at all. He just kept urging the remaining soldiers to advance towards the center of the valley.

The scene before him seemed absurd, but it concealed the calculations of Manggurtai and others. The Abyss Demon Vine was not so easy to deal with, even the Abyss Demon Vine in Nirvana.

Before coming, Manggurtai mixed a "secret medicine" into the liquor. After everyone drank the liquor, the "secret medicine" hid in their bodies and served as an excellent bait.

In this way, Manggurtai "gave his head" one by one, and the Abyss Demon Vine happily absorbed the flesh, blood, and souls of the soldiers, preparing for Nirvana.

The sun was setting, and the rays of sunset shone on the drunken and dazed Abyss Demon Vine. Manggurtai and his group were killed and wounded, and he was the only one left.

"The treasure that the envoy wants must be extraordinary. If I can get it, I will be the next Khan."

"If you want the Abyss Demon Vine to recognize you as your master, the best way is to sign a contract, but the safest way is to refine it with blood, using your own lifeblood essence to refine it."

Although Manggurtai seems reckless, he is actually bold and careful. He had thought of various possibilities before coming here and has reached this point step by step.

Looking at the Abyss Demon Vine crawling on the ground and gradually becoming motionless, Manggurtai cut his own blood vessels, and his tears and blood dripped onto the roots of the Abyss Demon Vine.

At the same time, he chanted an incomprehensible spell, and Manggurtai's mind invaded the interior of the Abyss Demon Vine, gradually approaching the core position, preparing to leave his mark.
