The cave was filled with rich spiritual energy, which flowed slowly in the cave like materialized clouds.
On the ground of the cave, there grow all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, all of which emit strange light, some of which is soft, some of which is dazzling, making the entire cave look like a dream.
In the center of the cave, there is a huge stone platform, on which is placed a bead emitting colorful light.
The bead kept spinning, and with every spin, the surrounding spiritual energy would surge, as if the bead was the core of the spiritual energy in the entire cave.
Jiang Qiong and the other two were stunned by the scene before them. They slowly walked towards the stone platform, wanting to observe the mysterious bead more closely.
However, just as they were about to approach the stone platform, suddenly, the beads on the stone platform emitted a strong light, and the light instantly enveloped the entire cave...
The light instantly enveloped the entire cave, and the strong light made Jiang Qiong, Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue subconsciously close their eyes.
When the light faded, they slowly opened their eyes and found that everything around them seemed to become a little unreal and blurry. The colorful light was like agile silk threads, weaving and interweaving freely in the air.
A strong curiosity and desire to explore surged in Jiang Qiong's heart. He stared at the bead and unconsciously took another step forward.
Seeing this, Lang Nana quickly grabbed his arm and said with a worried look: "Jiang Qiong, this bead is too strange, we should be careful."
Nan Fengxue also nodded and agreed: "Yes, if some unknown danger is triggered, it will be troublesome."
But Jiang Qiong was unmoved. He pointed at the bead and said, "Look, the spiritual energy in this cave is so rich. It must be related to this bead. Maybe this is an opportunity that can help us improve our cultivation."
Under Jiang Qiong's insistence, Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue had no choice but to follow him and continue to approach the stone platform.
As the distance shortened, they could feel the powerful power fluctuations emanating from the beads. It seemed as if that power had its own consciousness, gently touching their souls.
When they finally reached the stone platform, Jiang Qiong slowly stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the mysterious bead.
Just as his fingers were about to touch the bead, the bead suddenly trembled violently, and then an invisible force bounced Jiang Qiong away.
Jiang Qiong flew back several feet and fell heavily to the ground.
Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue ran over and helped Jiang Qiong up. "Jiang Qiong, how are you?"
Lang Nana asked anxiously. Jiang Qiong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said through gritted teeth: "This bead is really not simple. It seems that it doesn't want us to get it easily."
Nan Fengxue frowned, looked at the bead and said, "If that's the case, let's not force it. Maybe this is a sacred artifact that protects this place and cannot be desecrated by others."
But Jiang Qiong was unwilling to give up. He stood up, dusted himself off, and said with a firm look in his eyes: "I can feel that this bead is destined for us. As long as we find the right method, we will be able to control it."
After saying that, he began to pace around the stone platform, carefully observing the patterns on the platform and the surrounding environment, trying to find clues from them.
Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue were not idle either. They began exploring the cave from different directions, hoping to discover some secrets related to the beads.
During the exploration, Lang Nana discovered that the walls of the cave were covered with dense runes, which were somewhat similar to those they saw in the underground maze, but more complex and profound. She quickly called Jiang Qiong and Nan Fengxue over.
After Jiang Qiong and Nan Fengxue arrived, the three of them began to study the runes carefully.
After some observation and analysis, they found that these runes seemed to be an ancient writing system, recording the origin and usage of the beads.
However, the texts were so obscure that they could only understand fragments.
Just as they were struggling to decipher the rune, the stag that had been following them suddenly let out a low cry.
The stag walked up to the wall and gently touched the runes with its antlers.
A magical thing happened. When touched by the stag, the runes began to emit a faint light and gradually combined into vivid pictures.
The picture shows that this bead is called "Lingyun Tianbaozhu" and was left behind by a powerful cultivator in ancient times.
It possesses powerful spiritual power that can help practitioners break through bottlenecks and improve their cultivation.
But at the same time, this bead is also subject to powerful restrictions. Only people with kind hearts and a connection with it can unlock the restrictions and control its power.
After seeing these scenes, Jiang Qiong and others finally understood why they couldn't touch the beads before.
Jiang Qiong reflected in his heart that his previous idea of stealing the young emerald elk was too selfish and evil. How could such an attitude be recognized by Baozhu?
So, Jiang Qiong and the other two sat cross-legged in the cave and began to calm down and adjust their mindsets.
They abandoned the distracting thoughts and greed in their hearts, making their hearts pure and peaceful.
During this process, they recalled every moment they had with the emerald elk, and those heartwarming scenes filled their hearts with warmth and kindness.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Qiong slowly opened his eyes. He felt that a huge change had taken place in his heart.
He stood up again and walked to the stone platform. This time, his eyes were full of awe and sincerity.
When he stretched out his hand, the spiritual heavenly pearl no longer resisted, but slowly flew into his hand.
In an instant, a powerful spiritual power surged into Jiang Qiong's body. He could feel that his meridians became tougher under the impact of the spiritual power, and his cultivation level was also improving rapidly.
When Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue saw this scene, they were happy for Jiang Qiong but also a little envious.
After Jiang Qiong felt the power of the pearl, she did not enjoy it alone, but instead divided a part of the power of the pearl and transferred it to Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue.
With the help of the power of the orb, the cultivation of the three people was greatly improved.
Afterwards, Jiang Qiong placed the Lingyun Tianbaozhu back on the stone platform. He knew that this bead did not belong to any of them, and it should continue to protect this mysterious place.
Before leaving the cave, Jiang Qiong and the other two bowed deeply to the stag and the surrounding emerald elks, thanking them for their help and trust.
When they walked out of the underground maze and returned to the ground, the sun was still shining brightly.
Jiang Qiong and others continued their journey with a new mindset and understanding.
They decided that from now on, they would use their own power to protect all living things in the world and make this world a better place.
When Jiang Qiong, Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue said goodbye to the stag and the emerald elk with a new state of mind and prepared to leave this mysterious place, the originally peaceful underground maze suddenly shook violently.
The three of them stopped in their tracks, moved closer together, and looked around cautiously. They saw the ground began to crack, and cracks spread rapidly like a spider web. Then, a strong stench of decay gushed out from the cracks and filled the entire space.
"What's going on?" Nan Fengxue frowned and clenched the magic formula in his hands to control the giant cauldron.
"Be careful, something is coming out." Jiang Qiong said in a low voice, with a hint of nervousness and vigilance in his eyes.
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge vine emerged from the crack, twisting its body in the air like a giant python awakening. Then, more vines emerged from all directions, quickly intertwining and entwining, forming the shape of a towering ancient tree in the blink of an eye.
The trunk of this ancient tree is extremely thick, and its surface is covered with twisted lines, like countless human faces struggling in pain, appearing hideous and terrifying.
Its branches stretched out in all directions like giant arms, and were covered with sharp thorns. Each thorn flashed a faint green light and emitted a sickening smell.
The leaves were blood red and shaped like sharp blades. They trembled slightly in the air, making rustling sounds, as if telling of endless malice.
"This is a demon tree!" Lang Nana exclaimed, and she quickly formed seals with her hands, preparing to cast a spell.
The demon tree seemed to sense the hostility of the three people. It let out a low roar, shaking the surrounding air.
Then, it swung its huge branches and violently lashed at Jiang Qiong and others.
Jiang Qiong reacted quickly. He flashed and avoided the attack of the tree branch in an instant.
At the same time, he muttered something, waved his hands quickly, and cast a fire spell.
I saw balls of blazing flames gathering in his hands, and then flying towards the demon tree like meteors.
The flames hit the branches of the demon tree, igniting it instantly. The green flames raged on the branches, making crackling sounds.
The demon tree seemed to feel pain. It twisted its body frantically, trying to put out the fire.
However, Jiang Qiong's fire magic was so powerful that the fire grew bigger and bigger, and soon spread to the entire trunk of the demon tree.
"Hmph, let's see how long you can be so arrogant!" Jiang Qiong snorted coldly and increased the output of the flame.
Just when Jiang Qiong thought that the demon tree was about to be destroyed, the demon tree suddenly let out a roar, and huge cracks appeared on its trunk, and a large amount of black smoke spewed out from it.
The smoke quickly spread, covering the entire space in darkness.
"Be careful, there's something strange about this smoke!" Jiang Qiong warned hurriedly. At the same time, he condensed the flames in front of him to form a protective barrier to resist the invasion of the smoke.
Under the cover of smoke, the demon tree's attack became even more bizarre. Countless vines emerged from the smoke and attacked Jiang Qiong and others like lightning.
Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue did not dare to be careless either. They each cast their spells and engaged in a fierce battle with the demon tree.
Lang Nana pushed her hands forward, and an ice-blue light shot out from her hands, instantly freezing the attacking vines into icicles.
However, these icicles were quickly shattered by the powerful force of the demon tree, and the vines continued to approach them.
Nan Fengxue controlled the giant tripod and rushed around in the smoke, trying to find the weakness of the demon tree.
Wherever the giant tripod went, vines were broken one after another, but the vines of the demon tree seemed endless, and new vines would soon fill the gap.
During the fierce battle, Jiang Qiong discovered that although the demon tree's attack was fierce, its movements seemed to be restricted to a certain extent, and it was unable to leave the place where it was rooted.
An idea suddenly occurred to him and he thought of a solution.
"Nana, Fengxue, you attract the attention of the demon tree, I will find a way to destroy it!" Jiang Qiong shouted.
Hearing this, Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue immediately increased their attack strength. Lang Nana cast an ice spell to lower the temperature around her to an extremely low level, trying to slow down the movement of the demon tree.
Nan Fengxue controlled the giant tripod, constantly hitting the branches and trunk of the demon tree, making a dull sound.
Jiang Qiong took advantage of the opportunity when the demon tree was distracted by the two people and quietly went behind the demon tree.
He carefully observed the roots of the demon tree and found a huge black sphere there, emitting a strong evil aura. He thought this must be the core of the demon tree.
Jiang Qiong took a deep breath and gathered all his spiritual power into his hands. The flames in his hands burned more vigorously, forming a huge ball of fire. He pushed the ball of fire towards the roots of the demon tree and shouted, "Explode!"
The fireball hit the core of the demon tree instantly with great force.
With a loud bang, the black sphere was blown to pieces, and a powerful energy wave spread in all directions.
The demon tree let out a shrill scream, and its trunk began to wither rapidly. Its branches and vines fell off one after another, and its original hideous appearance gradually disappeared.
As the flames continued to burn, the demon tree eventually turned into a pile of ashes, and the black smoke in the air also dissipated.
Jiang Qiong and the other two stood there tiredly, looking at the scene in front of them, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's finally over." Lang Nana wiped the sweat from her forehead and a relieved smile appeared on her face.
"The power of this demon tree is really strong. If we hadn't worked together, we might not be able to defeat it." Nan Fengxue sighed.
Jiang Qiong nodded and said, "This experience has taught us that in the face of a powerful enemy, as long as we unite as one and use our wisdom, we will be able to overcome difficulties."
After this battle, the strength and tacit understanding of the three were further enhanced.
After the evil tree was killed, the originally dark and depressing underground space began to undergo miraculous changes.
The pervasive stench gradually dissipated, replaced by a fresh and rich aura, like a breeze in the early spring morning, gently brushing across the faces of Jiang Qiong, Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue.
As the demon tree turned to ashes, the surrounding ground began to tremble slightly, and golden rays of light slowly rose from the ground, interweaving into a huge magic circle.
The runes on the magic circle flickered, giving off an ancient and mysterious aura, as if telling a story from the past that had been buried by time.
"This...what's going on?" Nan Fengxue widened his eyes in surprise and couldn't help but take a step back.
Lang Nana also looked puzzled, staring at the magic circle closely, trying to find some clues from it: "I have never seen such a strange magic circle, could it be related to the demon tree?" (End of this chapter)
