Chapter 1764: Living in Sojourn
As the place where the gourd was broken, the water here is the deepest, reaching a depth of eight zhang.

The huge amount of water impacted and a big hole appeared, and the space in the tree hole was shattered.

Many tree monsters that relied on tree roots to crawl were washed away along with the soil.

Although these tree monsters have extremely good strength and can easily tie up people, they are generally between one and two meters tall.

For waters several feet deep, even if these tree monsters doubled their size, they would not be able to emerge from the water.

When Zhang Xuezhou dived, he reached out and touched all kinds of trees scattered across the sky.

Judging from a physiological point of view, Zhang Xuezhou felt that these tree monsters should have drowned, with only the remaining tree bodies lying at the bottom of the water.

It was the first time that he saw so many monsters die in battle at the same time. This made Zhang Xuezhou sigh, and he felt that he had witnessed another rare and strange thing.

There is an essential difference between dryads and trees. The former has developed consciousness, while the latter can only survive by plant instincts.

These trees may survive and grow if transplanted, but it will be difficult to awaken the consciousness of the tree spirits.

To these tree spirits, they have all drowned, similar to how humans become brain dead and turn into vegetables; the body is alive, but the person is dead.

Zhang Xuezhou patted the roots of the tree, only to feel that they were cold, without any sense of struggle.

"The spiritual spring was also destroyed, what a pity!"

Zhang Xuezhou sneaked into the old place and measured the distance. There was also a central point where the demon trees gathered, which allowed him to find the exact location relatively quickly.

When we found the spiritual spring again, there was only a stone wall left where the spring water gushed out, and it was difficult to find the trace of the spring.

The tree demon cave that tempted and influenced them was more than ten feet away.

Li Shaojun made a rough positioning, while Zhang Xuezhou made a detailed positioning, and once again accurately found the underground space where the tree demon had been.

As the first place to bear the impact, this area was desolate. Zhang Xuezhou and Gongsun Hong both rushed several miles away. The huge tree roots in this area were turned upside down, and it looked extremely chaotic.

It is difficult to find a special tree root in such an area. There is almost no light under the water, and Zhang Xuezhou can only grope around.

"It should be here!"

Zhang Xuezhou still remembers that the tree roots wrapped in vines were twisted and coiled like a dragon.

He didn't find this special tree root, but Zhang Xuezhou touched a delicate leaf at the bottom of the water.

He stretched out his hand and grabbed the gourd vine.

With just a slight pull, Zhang Xuezhou easily pulled down the gourd vines lying on the roots of the trees.

Although it has existed in the gourd for many years, the gourd vine is not an aquatic plant. After being soaked for a whole night, this special vine could not survive.

Perhaps grasping at straws when drowning is not just for humans. The gourd vine was entangled between these tree roots and did not float to the surface.

Zhang Xuezhou pulled for a while, and the three or five-meter-long gourd vine was pulled down by him, and Zhang Xuezhou also found the source of the gourd vine's roots.

He shook the tree hard, only to find that the roots were not as stable as he had imagined. With just a shake, the roots that were entangled by the gourd vines had loosened.

When Zhang Xuezhou turned it, the piece of tree root was turned out like a screw, leaving only a few thin roots as thick as fingers to pull.

A faint green light entered Zhang Xuezhou's eyes, and he felt the tree root in his hand slip. His right hand had quickly pinched back the Eye of the Basagoonic Ape.

Before he could fall into hallucination, Zhang Xuezhou also used deterrent and suppressive measures.

Under normal circumstances, Zhang Xuezhou felt that his intimidation and suppression would most likely be ineffective, but the tree roots had been submerged for a night and were on the verge of death, so it was unlikely that they would be very strong.

He beat the downed dog without mercy at this time.

The tree root that the left hand was holding fell into calm in a short moment, no longer struggling or moving.

"So your head is hidden underneath. No wonder we couldn't find the target no matter how hard we looked. It was your head that was hitting us upside down!"

The faint green light at the bottom of the tree roots allowed Zhang Xuezhou to barely see the situation clearly in the water.

Like a bald red-crowned crane, a green mark also grew at the bottom of the tree root.

He intimidated and suppressed the rather strange tree monster. After turning the part with the green mark around, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the monster was most likely parasitic in the tree roots and could be pulled out like a hermit crab.

The tree roots used as shelters were bitten by sleepy bugs, and it was this hole that posed a fatal risk. When the gourd vine's suction cups were fully absorbed and penetrated into the interior, the other party also fell into panic and struggled desperately, which eventually led to a flood.

"The world's great wonders!"

Zhang Xuezhou knocked on the green mark and deliberately bent it back and forth until he pulled out the piece of wood with the green mark.

After some powerless twists, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the piece of wood became hard and straight, and the green light gradually dimmed.

The feeling of being suppressed by the powerful state and lack of purpose surged into Zhang Xuezhou's mind, and he felt that he had almost finished explaining this unknown monster.

Not to mention monsters, even a great cultivator who is not good at water would not be able to endure being submerged for half a day and then being beaten up when weak.

The exhausted great cultivator on the battlefield was killed by the young general, and this monster with unique abilities could not withstand Zhang Xuezhou's attack.

He touched the piece of tree root that could not be pulled off, and when he felt that he could not pull it off, Zhang Xuezhou quickly floated to the surface.

"Have you found it?" Li Shaojun shouted from a distance.

"How do you detect risks with this unreliable thing? It almost attacked me!"

Zhang Xuezhou shouted, and Li Shaojun couldn't help but shrink his head.

With Zhang Xuezhou's words, he would be at a disadvantage when seeking distribution.

"Aren't you still alive?"

Li Shaojun groaned.

"I left half for you down there. If you want it, you can dive down and get it yourself!"

"What about your half?"

When Zhang Xuezhou replied, Li Shaojun felt very bad.

He looked at Zhang Xuezhou raising a wooden stick that looked like white jade, and he felt his heart bleeding.

"Is this really the tree demon?" Li Shaojun asked doubtfully.

"Dongfang Shuo, your hands are swollen and blue!"

Li Shaojun was concerned about the treasure in Zhang Xuezhou's hand, while Gongsun Hong paid attention to Zhang Xuezhou's body.

Gongsun Hong cried out, allowing Zhang Xuezhou to see his left hand holding the green mark.

Just as Gongsun Hong had said, his left hand had turned blue and swollen, as if it had been poisoned.

It was difficult to see light underwater, and this invasion was almost impossible for Zhang Xuezhou to detect.

But this poison is not serious. Not only has it stopped spreading, but it is also slowly fading away.

There was no need for Zhang Xuezhou to actively practice the poison-avoiding technique, as his body functions would automatically eliminate the toxins.

"I said this thing attacked me," Zhang Xuezhou shouted, "If you go down there, you'll be dead!"

"I can get up even if I die!"

Li Shaojun argued strongly.

With things like this, he had no choice but to try to dive in and out of the area where Zhang Xuezhou was from time to time to see which half Zhang Xuezhou had left for him.

As for the present, Li Shaojun felt that it would be better to drown this dangerous thing. As long as Gongsun Hong did not compete with him for it, Li Shaojun felt that he would have no problem finding his other half.

His eyes were focused on the white jade-like wood that Zhang Xuezhou was holding. He felt that the wood held by Zhang Xuezhou was like a peeled bamboo shoot and looked too new.

If a spiritual root is poisonous, it is not suitable for consumption and is more likely to be used as a special magical tool.

But Zhang Xuezhou did not die from the poison, which proved that the toxicity of this chaotic spiritual root was limited and far less than those things that could kill people instantly.

For a moment, Li Shaojun felt less envious.

He only felt that Zhang Xuezhou's chaotic spirit object might be of inferior quality, or that the other half left by Zhang Xuezhou might have a miraculous use. When he thought about it this way, he had more thoughts about the half left by Zhang Xuezhou.
