After the Skyfall

Chapter 500: Silencing the Tree Spirit

Ten days passed in a flash.

During this period, Li Yi still hid in the cave of the purple gold gourd and did not go out. In his spare time, he regulated the gold and fire energies, consolidated his cultivation, and at the same time paid attention to some movements and changes outside.

very quiet.

It was very quiet for ten days.

Li Yi felt that the giant dragon and tree spirits outside had probably suspected that he was dead and were now falling into a deep sleep again.

But he was still not in a hurry and decided to wait for two more days.

During this period, Li Yi took out the longevity plate to measure his own lifespan and found that his lifespan had not decreased but increased to 321 years.

This lifespan is considered short for an evolver who also practices Taoism. After all, he had wasted a lot of it by using supernatural weapons indiscriminately before. Although he took longevity pills later to replenish his lifespan, it has also been shortened recently.

To be on the safe side, he took another longevity pill.

Then he measured his life span again and found that Li Yi had reached 421 years old.

The longevity pills in the four seas and eight continents are truly magical. Longevity, which is extremely rare in other worlds, has become a relatively common thing in the four seas and eight continents. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, it would have been hard for him to believe that such an outrageous thing could happen.

really.

Each world has some specialties.

Things that are worthless in this world may be priceless in other worlds.

Two days passed quickly.

Li Yi felt that he had waited long enough. After all, it had been twelve days. He didn't want to be trapped here for a long time.

"Go out and see."

He restrained his breath and put on the golden rat skin again to avoid being noticed by the dragon.

Then he controlled the purple gold gourd, opened the lid, and sent himself out of the cave world inside the gourd.

As Li Yi left the purple gold gourd, he found himself buried in rocks. Fortunately, these rocks were not particularly hard and he could easily break free. With a little force, the rocks shattered and a small space was cleared around him. Then he identified the direction and carefully broke out of the ground.

Soon, a golden rat head poked out from under the charred rock ground. Li Yi looked around and saw a burning smell all around. Everywhere he looked, there was scorched earth, and there was even a lava river bubbling not far away.

"Just as I thought, the dragon flame melted everything, and the purple gold gourd was buried in the magma. Then the magma cooled and formed rocks, so I appeared underground."

Li Yi thought for a moment, put away the purple gold gourd, and jumped out from the ground.

He still restrained his breath and did not use his magic power or internal energy. Instead, he relied on his own strength to quickly leave the low-lying area.

During this time, Li Yi saw a lot of gems scattered everywhere.

Gold, green, purple, each piece is huge and pure, and even emits some strange glow, as if it contains some special power.

He was not interested at first, but the thing around him was too attractive. Li Yi couldn't help but pick up a dozen pieces and throw them into the Five Elements Bracelet. He would study it later when he had a chance to see if it was useful. If not, he would give it away.

When Li Yi came to a hillside, he looked into the distance.

A gigantic dragon was crawling there like a mountain, with its eyes closed and no breath, as if it was dead, without any movement. On this dragon were all kinds of tree roots that looked like blood vessels, which had completely grown together with the dragon and could no longer be distinguished from each other.

Even if the hot magma flowed through, these strange blood vessels were not burned at all.

Obviously, this thing has absorbed the flesh and blood of the dragon and is no longer afraid of fire and high temperature.

Li Yi stared at the giant dragon. He remembered what happened before and had a rough guess in his mind. That is, this giant dragon was not an evil dragon. It did not want to kill him, but it was parasitized by the golden apple tree and had no choice but to launch an attack.

If this giant dragon wanted to kill him, he would have been killed by the first breath of dragon flame and would not have survived until now.

Therefore, the golden apple tree is the real evil.

"Maybe I can help the dragon, get rid of the parasite on the golden apple tree, and relieve it from its pain." Li Yi originally wanted to leave, but before leaving, he wanted to repay the dragon. He also wanted to teach the spirit of the golden apple tree a lesson and pick all the remaining golden apples.

The reason for this bold idea is that he had a good idea.

Li Yi took out a cracked short stick from the Five Elements Bracelet.

"Since the tree spirit has an old face, it must also be its head. I wonder what will happen if I hit it with this magical weapon? If I'm not too lucky, I should be able to put the golden apple tree into a long sleep."

He was thinking whether this was feasible.

After a brief thought, Li Yi felt that his method had a high probability of success.

Because the golden apple tree was there and would not run away, as long as he flew fast enough, he could succeed before the tree spirit could react, and the other party would never expect that he would make a surprise attack.

"Now that we have made up our minds, let's do it." Li Yi took a deep breath. Covered with the golden rat skin, he began to cross the mountains, crossed the lava river, and approached the location of the golden apple tree again.

He needed to be close enough before taking action to ensure that nothing went wrong.

But he also made another preparation.

That is to prepare the cross-border device and colorful stones and put them in the purple gold gourd.

If he failed, he would hide in the purple gold gourd again, then open the cross-border door and escape from here. The worst that would happen would be the loss of a Taoist weapon.

As the distance got closer, Li Yi gradually felt the pressure of this giant dragon, which was truly suffocating. However, the huge blood vessels attached to it were also very strange. Every time they beat, they would draw away a portion of the dragon's blood and essence. This giant dragon was indeed extraordinary. After being parasitized for who knows how many years, it could still maintain such strength.

After working carefully and attentively for a few hours, Li Yi stopped when he was about to climb over a hill.

"We can't go any further, otherwise all our efforts will be wasted if we are discovered by the tree spirit. We might as well start from here. With my strength, I can use the Cloud-Flying Technique and reach the golden apple tree in just three seconds." He took a look and estimated the distance and the time he would have to use his magic.

Li Yi didn’t think the other party would be able to react in three seconds.

Then he tightly grasped the cracked short stick, and no longer concealed his breath, and directly practiced Taoist magic.

next moment.

A red cloud appeared under his feet.
Then auspicious clouds suddenly rose into the sky, turning it into a ray of light that flew straight to the golden apple tree on the top of the giant dragon's head.

But as soon as Li Yi took action, the dragon immediately opened one eye.

A huge golden vertical pupil immediately locked onto him.

This gave Li Yi a sudden shock.

But the dragon did not take any action, and its huge body did not seem to move at all, because it realized Li Yi's intention, so it wanted to see if Li Yi could really deal with the golden apple tree that was parasitic on its body. Although the probability was very slim, over the years, Li Yi was the only one who entered here and planted the golden apple.

The dragon is not a wild beast, it is very intelligent and thinks it is worth a gamble.

"Sure enough, the dragon also wants me to help pull out the golden apple tree." Li Yi reacted immediately when he saw that the dragon did not take any action at the first moment.

But right now.

The ugly old face on the golden apple tree reappeared. It also sensed Li Yi's approach and instantly became angry: "Damn robber, thief, you are still alive, World Dragon, you deceived me, you didn't kill him at all. Damn, I want you to pay the price."

The tree spirit was completely enraged at this moment, and it shook its body desperately.

At this moment, the blood-colored roots entangled in the World Dragon suddenly tightened, strangling the weakest part of the dragon's body, even its soul.

Feeling such tremendous pain, the dragon's entire body was shaking and it let out a terrible wail.

But soon.

The dragon gritted its teeth, steadied its body, resisted the severe pain, and tried not to move, because once it lost control, its huge body might affect this tiny human, causing the failure of what he wanted to do.

Now that we have been discovered, we cannot retreat at this time.

But this kind of pain made the dragon tremble all over. Every inch of its scales was throbbing, and every piece of flesh seemed to be torn apart.

In the past, it would have been absolutely unbearable.

But the dragon had been tortured for countless years and had become accustomed to such pain. The years of tempering had made it burst out with amazing resilience at this moment. Until Li Yi arrived in front of the golden apple tree, the dragon did not move at all.

"You robber, do you want to pick the golden apples again? The evil dragon has awakened, and I will make you die miserably," the old tree spirit shouted angrily.

However, Li Yi said nothing, because the wooden stick in his hand was already swinging.

boom!
A knocking sound was heard.

This magical weapon was used again. Li Yi spent ten years of his life to launch this attack, and it hit the tree spirit's forehead accurately.

Some kind of supernatural power was triggered.

The old tree spirit who was still chattering in the previous second immediately closed his mouth the next second, followed by his eyes quickly closing. Even the emerald green leaves drooped at this time, as if it had suddenly lost all its vitality and fell into silence.

And this silence spread in the shortest time possible.

The wriggling red blood vessels stopped beating at this moment, and the giant dragon, who was almost fainted from the pain, suddenly felt his whole body relax, and all the pain disappeared in the shortest time.

The dragon's mouth, which had been closed for who knows how many years, opened again and tore apart a part of the bloody roots.

Even though blood was gushing out and dyeing the mountains red, the dragon felt more comfortable than ever before.

Then it roared towards the sky, letting out a roar that shook the heavens.
