Unsurpassed Spirits

Chapter 278 The Giant Wood
Behind the barrier seems to be another world. Although it is still a quagmire, the poisonous gas and black mist have been blocked out. The air is filled with rich and pure spiritual energy. If they had not known it in advance, no one would have imagined that such a scene would happen. It is in the Nether Forest.

And in the center of this swamp, there is a towering tree growing.

This tree has a strange shape, is thick and tall, and is dozens of feet tall. Its branches and leaves are spread out, blocking out the sky and the sun. It is very spectacular. The thick vines are wrapped around its branches, spiraling up, and there are many branches. A scarlet fruit the size of a fist, exuding a bright and clear aura, you can tell at a glance that it is not an ordinary product.

"The spiritual object you are talking about refers to this tree?" Luo Qingli asked Ah Li.

Ahri licked her paws, "Yeah, although I don't know exactly what it is, but one thing I'm sure of is that this tree is full of treasures."

Luo Qingli understood and did not move in a hurry. At this time, Ye Xiliang also walked in. The barrier that was broken behind the two people slowly healed little by little, as if they separated the inside and the outside into two worlds. .

Ye Xiliang raised his eyes and looked at the giant tree and asked aloud: "Fellow Taoist Guilan has good alchemy skills and should be familiar with spiritual plants and trees. Do you know what this giant tree is?"

Luo Qingli shook his head, "Unheard of."

This giant tree is different from ordinary spiritual plants, but just from the vitality it exudes, you can tell that it is not a common thing.

Growing in this natural formation, surrounded by poisonous swamps and confusing obstacles outside, and protected by such strange beasts, it was as if this tree had been carefully protected.

The two looked at each other, and soon reached a consensus when their eyes met.

There may be treasure-protecting monsters or potential dangers around such spiritual creatures, but since they have already come here, even if they end up empty-handed, they still have to give it a try.

The two slowly approached the giant tree. The breeze blew by, and the branches and leaves made a rustling sound. The tiny sunlight fell through the gaps and dappled the ground, making it beautiful.

The closer they got, the more they could feel the vitality emanating from the giant tree, but it also made them more wary.

There was not a single fallen leaf on the swamp, and until they stepped into the shadow cast by the giant tree, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

So safe?

Both of them felt a little surprised, and besides this giant tree in front of them, they really didn't feel the breath of other living beings.

Luo Qingli took out the Light Sword, and Ye Xiliang held a thin blade between his two fingers. The two of them shot almost at the same time, and the sword energy sharp blades hit a red fruit on the branch.

pat.

Zhu Guo was knocked down. Luo Qinglisu raised his hand, and a piece of imperial silk flew out, catching the Zhu Guo. Ye Xiliang also threw out a small green net to catch the Zhu Guo.

Almost at the same time that the Zhu Guo fell into the hands of the two men, the swamp suddenly shook. The giant trees seemed to wake up from their slumber, twitching their branches. Countless roots of the giant trees poked out from the swamp. These roots were like thousands of trees. A tentacle wrapped around the two of them almost instantly.

Luo Qingli was slightly startled. He raised his sword and slashed at the root wrapped around his ankle, but it seemed to hit an extremely hard stone, with no effect at all.

The situation on Ye Xiliang's side was similar. He waved his silver daggers and made a series of afterimages, but the daggers only left a small mark on these branches. Instead, they were entangled tighter and tighter by the vine roots.

"Master!" Xiao Wu was shocked, jumped out of the spirit beast bag in a hurry, and bit the vine that rushed towards him.

Its teeth were extremely sharp, comparable to the best magic weapons. However, not only was the vine not broken, it also felt a dull pain in its teeth.

Ah Li looked at it in the spirit beast bag, feeling a little anxious, but it was not a monster that was good at attacking, and it only had a fourth-level cultivation level. Going out at this time would be useless except to help.

Soon Xiao Wu was also entangled by the vines. No matter how hard it struggled and bit, it could not shake off the vines. It could even feel that the power in its body was being sucked away by these vines little by little. If it continued like this , they will be sucked dry by this tree in a short time.

"You go back first."

Luo Qingli forced Xiao Wu back into the spirit beast bag, and then the tree vines wrapped around Xiao Wu turned and pounced on her, almost wrapping her whole body into a rice dumpling.

Ye Xiliang's eyes changed slightly, he took out a Thunder Pestle and raised it high. A bolt of thunder struck the vine roots near him. Although it failed to cut them off, it still blocked their attack.

No matter how powerful this demonic tree is, its body is still a plant, and the five elements will have some use in it.

At this moment, Luo Qingli made a secret with one hand among the heavy vines, and used the Cloud Thunder Heavenly Descending Technique, which also shot out a thunder.

This thunder was several times more powerful than Ye Xiliang's magic weapon. The vines wrapped around her body suddenly loosened a lot, and she took advantage of this gap to escape from the heavy vines.

Rustling - the giant tree shook even more violently, as if it was angry and dissatisfied with her leaving. Countless tree vines fluttered in the swamp, and bursts of scorching breath rushed towards the face, almost capable of burning the skin.

Another tree vine swung over, and Luo Qingli caught it with his bare hands without dodging.

The tree vine seemed to be very excited and climbed up along her arm. However, in just a moment, she saw a burst of scarlet fire igniting on her body. This fire ignited the tree vine, and the tree vine was suddenly startled, as if facing a formidable enemy. , panicked and retracted the branch, but Luo Qingli held him tightly, and the flames burned forward along the tree vines.

swish, swish—

The giant tree shook its body wildly, and many leaves were shaken off. Ye Xiliang felt that the vines wrapped around him suddenly loosened and dispersed like a tide.

When his vision returned to clarity, he saw that the girl in green was shrouded in firelight, her hands tightly grasping a tree vine. She was floating in the air, her eyes were like ice, like a judge, and the originally domineering giant tree was here. At this moment, it seemed that fate was being strangled by the throat, and he could only struggle in place.

He was slightly startled, Luo Qingli's hand suddenly loosened, and an arm of the huge tree broke off. The vine was peeled off from the main body, and Luo Qingli took advantage of the situation and put it into the storage bag.

At this time, the giant tree was on guard, and vines fluttered around the main body, seeming to prevent them from approaching.

This giant tree doesn't know how many years it has been there. It has sucked a lot of the spiritual power out of Luo Qingli's body. It had consumed a lot of it before, and there wasn't much spiritual power left in the spirit-storing jade. If he really wanted to fight it, even if She has the red lotus karma fire, which can threaten it, but without spiritual power to sustain it, she may not have a chance of winning. Of course, if she really wants to fight, even if she can't defeat it, it will definitely not be able to gain favor.

Jumu probably realized this, and then suddenly stopped.

"You are conscious, right?" Luo Qingli said calmly.

After a spiritual plant reaches 10 years, it can absorb the essence of the sun and the moon and practice on its own. This is the first time she has encountered such a spiritual plant. This giant tree can definitely be called a demon plant. It is probably from ancient times. Period has existed.

It is very difficult to cultivate spiritual plants, but after becoming demon plants, they will undergo earth-shaking transformations. If you really want to talk about it, its strength is enough to be comparable to that of a monk in the late golden elixir stage, even if there is no special restraint. Fa, will be completely suppressed and beaten by it.

It didn't respond when they approached, and it wasn't until the red fruits were taken from it that it became furious and wanted to suck them dry. This shows that it may not be unreasonable.

"Since you grew up in this maze, you should be regarded as the center of this natural formation. If we don't fight you, you let us leave here. After we get out, we promise not to reveal the fact that you grew up here. Leave it to others, you can still practice here with peace of mind. If you don't want to, it doesn't matter. Anyway, you are the eye of the formation. As long as you are destroyed, the formation will collapse on its own, and we will also get a piece of you. baby..."

Luo Qingli spoke sentence by sentence, and every word was spoken using psychic skills. It didn't sound strange to others, but it made Yaozhi better understand her meaning. The giant tree was calm at first, Later, he couldn't help it anymore and slapped the vines, as if he was extremely angry.

Ye Xiliang looked on in surprise.

This was his first time negotiating with a tree.

"Are you not satisfied?" Luo Qingli condensed a cluster of scarlet flames in his palm, with an eerie and eerie look that came from hell, and the giant tree couldn't help but move.

"I don't know how many years have passed since you have cultivated to this point. We have a big fight with mixed success and failure. Even if you win, it will take many years to cultivate. If we fight together and perish, you will have to start from scratch. If you If you are really willing to give up, then we have nothing to say.”

The vines flapped more violently, and mud splashed everywhere. Luo Qingli said no more, but just walked to the side, nonchalantly waiting for its answer.

Ye Xiliang swallowed a few pills and looked at the irritable look of the giant tree. After thinking for a while, he sent a voice message and asked: "It... can it understand human speech?"

"Since it is a demon plant, it has developed spiritual intelligence and understands human nature." Luo Qingli replied.

Ye Xiliang understood clearly, but he also knew that even if spiritual wisdom had been opened, compared with human cultivation, the spiritual wisdom of this giant tree would not be too high, and its thinking should be relatively pure.

Sure enough, the two didn't wait long before Jumu compromised.

A whirlpool appeared on the swamp, and the giant tree took advantage of the situation and retracted its vine roots.

Ye Xiliang looked at the whirlpool and frowned, "Is it highly credible?"

"I don't know." Luo Qingli glanced at him and said truthfully: "But even if it wants to trick us, it shouldn't be able to trick us anywhere."

Compared to human cultivators, the demon plant has very single abilities. This is just a natural maze, and it has no ability to transform it into a killing array or anything else.

Ye Xiliang nodded, "Let's go then."

He jumped into the whirlpool first to clear the way ahead. Luo Qingli glanced at the giant tree and jumped down as well.
