Chapter 257 The Sword Insects Howl, Bizarre and Wonderful

Upon hearing Wei Yuan's cheers, Chen Xu immediately turned and took a small step forward.

Suddenly, a wide-open view appeared ahead, with a waterfall cascading down from the sky.

Below the waterfall is a deep, emerald-green pool, and the surrounding environment at first glance is somewhat similar to the Bitan Monkey Cave in the Wanqiu Mountains.

But in reality, the source of this waterfall is the snow that never melts on Jade Cold Peak. So much so that Chen Xu felt a chill from afar even before he got close to the waterfall.

Yet, amidst this bone-chilling cold, the area around the icy pool was surprisingly covered with lush green grass.

The grass blades were pointed, each one as green as jade, exceptionally clear and delicate.

These are hardly ordinary blades of grass.
They were clearly all green needle grass!

Back then, Wei Yuan searched all over the mountains for the Green Needle Grass in order to treat Chen Xu's injuries, which really took a lot of effort and energy.

Despite the time and effort involved, it only managed to find a small clump of green needle grass by a body of water in Qihe Mountain.

Who would have thought that at this moment, after merely climbing a mountain and arriving at this remote, icy pool a thousand meters above sea level, so many green needle grasses would appear.

This is truly a wonderful surprise, nothing could be more wonderful.

Wei Yuan stood by the lush green grass. The little hedgehog's eyes were almost crescent-shaped with laughter. It waved vigorously at Chen Xu and shouted to him:

"Brother Chen, look! It's all green needle grass! With this green needle grass, we'll never be afraid of getting hurt again!"

After saying that, it turned around and hopped into the grass to pick the blades of grass.

Just then, Chen Xu suddenly waved his palm lightly.

An invisible, strange power surged forth, instantly enveloping Wei Yuan as if by a spell to freeze him.

Wei Yuan's small body froze on the spot, unable to move.

This is actually an application of spirit control techniques, not a true immobilization spell.

That day, Chen Xu saw Monkey Nine use a freezing spell to immobilize Monkey Twelve in the Wanqiu Mountains. He found the spell to be very magical and practical, and he pondered it for a long time.

In the end, Chen Xu, of course, failed to figure out the immobilization technique on his own.

Although his true energy is becoming increasingly profound, compared to the boundless path of cultivation, he is still just a novice.

Chen Xu simply couldn't create magic out of thin air.

However, after pondering for a while, he developed a new use for the Spirit Control Technique.

Through the Spirit Control Technique, one can use powerful divine energy to control the actions of a designated target, much like an invisible hand or an invisible net, binding the other party tightly.

This can create an effect similar to a freeze spell on the surface.

As for the principle behind the immobilization technique, Chen Xu currently has no idea.

In a flash, he used his spirit control technique to subdue the little hedgehog, and at the same time, he looked behind Wei Yuan.

The sudden change in his gaze made Wei Yuan realize something instantly. Although the little guy was a bit naive, he wasn't stupid.

Its eyes immediately glanced at the ground, and it said, "Brother Chen, I... I can... Do you remember the spell I cast when we first met?"

This is it racking its brains to remind Chen Xu that it wants to escape using earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic or technique).

Fearing that it might not have enough tacit understanding with Chen Xu, or that it might not have expressed itself clearly enough, all the soft, spiky hair on its head stood up again.

Fortunately, Chen Xu understood immediately, and with a slight movement of his fingers, the invisible net binding Wei Yuan was instantly released.

The moment he freed himself from his restraints, Wei Yuan's body sank to the ground.

The speed at which it sank was as fast as a shooting star chasing the moon.

But then a strange buzzing sound was heard.

Like morning dew and lightning, like sparks flying, a dense patch of long, emerald-green needles suddenly flew up from the vast expanse of emerald needle grass!
Wow, it turns out that most of this so-called green needle grass is actually alive.

Furthermore, these strange creatures looked remarkably similar to the real Emerald Needle Grass, to the point that even with Wei Yuan's demonic intuition, he hadn't noticed anything amiss before. Fortunately, Wei Yuan's earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a Chinese idiom meaning to escape into the ground) was truly superb; it sank into the ground in a fraction of a second.

Chen Xu made a hand seal with one hand and softly shouted, "Wind, come!"

call--

A sudden gust of wind arose out of nowhere, instantly swirling the countless emerald needles that had been flying towards them into the air.

A series of piercing screams erupted from mid-air: "Aaaaah—"

It was those long, emerald-green needles that were screaming.

These creatures were able to emit human-like cries, piercing screams that rose one after another, soaring into the sky amidst the howling wind.

Chen Xu heard this and felt a slight stinging pain in his eardrums.

He guessed that the thing's shrieking sound must have some kind of strange attack power.

Sure enough, just as the heavy shrieks rang out, a delicate young girl's voice suddenly came from above the icy pool: "Scholar, quickly hide! The cries of those sword insects can pierce the soul!"

Chen Xu did not dodge.

He discovered that although the shrieks of those long, needle-like sword insects were sharp and piercing, his own divine soul was actually much stronger.

Therefore, when attacked, Chen Xu only felt a stinging pain in his eardrums and his soul seemed to be gently bumped by something sharp.

To describe this feeling in detail, it's like a thick layer of cowhide being gently pricked by a grass needle.

A grass needle can pierce through the skin of some creatures with delicate skin, but it certainly cannot pierce through the thick hide of a cow with strong defenses.

At most, I was scratched and felt a little uncomfortable.

Chen Xu ignored the warning voice above the waterfall cliff above the cold pool, and instead waved his hand lightly, suddenly making a clenching motion in the air.

"Ahhhh-"

The sword insects' shrieks grew increasingly sharp and piercing, like countless slender swords gathered together, stabbing towards the sky.

A cry of alarm echoed from the cliff: "Oh no!"

woohoo-

Before the exclamation had even faded, the countless emerald needles flying in the howling wind were finally swirled into a ball.

With a single clench of his hand, Chen Xu gathered and kneaded the tangled emerald green sword insects, which quickly coalesced into a ball resembling a green grass ball.

At the same time, Chen Xu made a feinting push with his other hand.

With a loud bang, a large wine jar, about a foot in diameter, fell to the ground out of thin air.

Snapped!
The mud seal on the wine jar was lifted up as if it had a spirit and opened on its own.

Before the aroma of the wine had fully dissipated, Chen Xu summoned a swarm of sword insects in the wind from afar.

With a whoosh, the clump of grass formed by the sword insects fell into the wine jar.

boom!
Chen Xu then brought back the mud seal that had been thrown back and slapped it back onto the mouth of the wine jar.

buzzing-

Inside the wine jar, the sword worm's shrill cry could be heard, now deformed.

At the same time, the wine jar shook violently, as if it were undergoing a great conflict.

Chen Xu raised his hand again and slapped it, using his magic to press down on the wine jar from a distance.

Above the cliff came a subsequent exclamation: "Oh dear, what are you doing? Don't you know that sword worms carry sword energy? Your wine jar is going to be smashed!"
