Chapter 351 Beautiful Picture

Staring at the picture in front of them, Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei stared wide-eyed and opened their mouths, standing there at a loss.

What really surprised them was neither terrifying nor frightening. On the contrary, what was displayed in front of the two of them at this time, and what made them at a loss was a beautiful picture, a picture that could only appear in dreams. , or scenes that can only appear in movies.

The dense black fog swirling rapidly around surrounded a circular area with a diameter of 40 meters.The ground of this circular area is covered with green shoots, which looks like a green grass field.In the very center of the meadow stood a dead black tree.

Different from the thick roots that the two people saw before, this dead tree is not large in size, and its trunk is only about the thickness of a person's waist.The dead tree was about three meters high, and there were no branches on the upper part of the tree, only the bare trunk stood there.

A lot of roots protruded from the bottom of the trunk, and these roots were interlaced and coiled together. The tips of the roots protruded into the grass, and only part of the roots were exposed.

There are also a lot of buds growing on the roots of these trees, but the buds growing on the roots are much sparser than the buds on the surrounding grass, and there are also some buds growing on the lower part of the trunk, but these There are very few shoots growing on the trunk.

The edge of the uppermost part of the black trunk is very irregular, and it looks as if the tree has been struck by lightning.From Chen Ziyang's perspective, he found that the trunk of the tree seemed to be hollow.

The black mist gathered tens of meters above the tree trunk into a huge black vortex, and a white beam of light protruded from the black vortex, straight into the hollow tree trunk.

The upper part of this beam of light is still surrounded by swirling black fog, but from time to time, a few bright white souls flash out from within the black fog, and are then surrounded by the swirling black fog. Sucked in.

The lower half of the beam of light that wasn't surrounded by black mist shone with white light. Although the light wasn't too strong, it still allowed people to see things in this small space clearly.

Some dots of white light drifted out from the beam of light, looking like countless fireflies.These light spots slowly rotated around the dead tree trunks, and slowly fell, like pieces of snowflakes. After the light spots disappeared into the grass, they disappeared.

The beautiful scenery in front of them gave Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei a kind of spiritual shock. This kind of beauty came from the heart and gave people a sense of tranquility. Even Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei who had just entered here The two of Lei have already forgotten their purpose of coming here, they just want to stand there quietly and enjoy this eternal scenery.

After heaving a long sigh, Chen Ziyang stabilized his mind, looked carefully at the dead old tree, and a simple and simple atmosphere came over his face.

After looking at it for a long time, he couldn't find the source of this unreasonable feeling. The ancient tree in front of him looked very ordinary, no different from the dead trees he had seen before, but as long as he kept looking at this ancient tree If you go there, your heart will be filled with a familiar feeling and a kind feeling, which makes you want to run forward and hold the tree trunk tightly.

"Not good!" Suddenly, Chen Ziyang was aroused by the cool feeling coming from the soul-suppressing paperweight in his hand, and he hastily bit the tip of his tongue hard to let himself out of the state of being addicted to this feeling. Woke up.

Chen Ziyang, who had regained his sober state, broke out in a cold sweat. He knew that he had been in a state of being charmed just now, and he didn't know what he was thinking or doing at all.Fortunately, the soul-suppressing paperweight pulled me back, otherwise, I might be immersed in that feeling forever, unable to extricate myself.

After a while, Chen Ziyang, who was afraid, suddenly thought that even if he was confused by holding the paperweight, Yang Lei behind him must not be able to escape, so he turned his head and looked at Yang Lei behind him.

Sure enough, the expression on Yang Lei's face at this time was like that of an idiot. He squinted his eyes and opened his mouth wide. Even because of being charmed, the muscles on Yang Lei's face relaxed, and the corners of his mouth were all down. Shrugging, drops of saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth.

Hastily clamping the ancient Xuanming sword under his left armpit, Chen Ziyang, who freed his right hand, slapped Yang Lei across the cheek.

"Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!" After four loud slaps, Yang Lei woke up suddenly, and while covering his cheeks, he looked at Chen Ziyang puzzled.

"What... what's wrong?" Yang Lei, who was in a daze, recovered from Chen Ziyang's four-slap slap, but he was a little dazed by the slap and didn't know what happened.

"Steady your mind, don't look at that ancient tree." Chen Ziyang hurriedly reminded Yang Lei.After saying these words, Chen Ziyang bit the middle finger of his right hand fiercely, and pressed it against Yang Lei's brow.

After all, the soul-suppressing talisman was not as effective as the soul-suppressing paperweight, and it was understandable that Yang Lei couldn't get into a sober state for a while. Chen Ziyang had no choice but to use this method to help him wake up.

After Yang Lei left a drop of mana-filled blood between his brows, Yang Lei immediately became sober.He hastily shifted his gaze away from the ancient tree.

"My dear, what is this place? It's so strange. I felt comfortable when I saw that ancient tree just now. I felt that every cell in my body was very comfortable, as if every pore in my body was opened. , It's so comfortable, my goosebumps are getting up." Yang Lei said with a lot of meaning.

Seeing that Yang Lei missed the feeling of drowning just now, Yang Lei, who even turned his face away, turned his eyes slightly and moved them to the corners of his eyes, obviously wanting to take a look at the ancient tree again, Chen Ziyang The roots of my teeth itch with hatred.

"Don't mess around, as long as you see that ancient tree, you will be charmed. If you indulge in it again, I may not be able to bring you back."

"Then what do you want me to do? This is such a big place, I can't close my eyes. If I still close my eyes when the tree demon comes out, then I won't be a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. "Yang Lei said aggrievedly.

Although Chen Ziyang knew that Yang Lei was making excuses for looking at the ancient tree again, he had to admit that what Yang Lei said was very reasonable.There is nothing else in this area except this dead tree, and this area is very small, no matter where you look, you may see the old tree from the corner of your eye.

In a short period of time, Yang Lei might be able to restrain himself, but after glancing at the ancient tree from the corner of his eye again and again, he might be charmed by the ancient tree again.It's okay for me, after all, I have the soul-suppressing paperweight in my hand, but Yang Lei, who only swallowed a soul-suppressing talisman, has no way to resist it.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang endured the pain, and used his bitten middle finger to smear on the soul-suppressing seal carved under the soul-suppressing paperweight, and wiped all the blood from his middle finger on the soul-suppressing seal.

"Be patient." Chen Ziyang, who had finished speaking, came to Yang Lei, and slapped the soul-suppressing paperweight on his forehead.

After hearing Chen Ziyang tell him to endure, Yang Lei's eyes showed a puzzled look. He didn't understand what Chen Ziyang asked him to endure. Before he could figure out the key point, Yang Lei just I felt like something like a brick had been slapped hard on my forehead.

"Oh, I'm going, it hurts me to death." Yang Lei screamed while covering his forehead. Just now, the soul-suppressing paperweight in Chen Ziyang's hand was slapped on his forehead, and a blood-colored soul-suppressing seal was left on his forehead. on Yang Lei's forehead.Chen Ziyang made Yang Lei's eyes black with this shot, and Yang Lei who closed his eyes even saw some golden stars flashing in front of his eyes.

Although it was very painful to be photographed this time, Yang Lei woke up suddenly, and he knew that he had completely recovered from that half-drowsy and half-awake state.At this time, when Yang Lei looked at the ancient tree again, he didn't have the feeling of being obsessed with it.

Seeing that Yang Lei had returned to normal, Chen Ziyang felt relieved, and hurriedly turned his head to continue looking in the direction of the ancient tree.Just now Yang Lei mentioned the tree demon, which reminded him.

The purpose of the two people coming here is to get rid of the tree demon, but the two who came here were confused by the ancient tree in front of them, and they didn't notice that there was no tree demon in this small space at all .

"Where's the tree demon?" Chen Ziyang muttered to himself while observing carefully.This space is so big, and there are only so many things inside, it can be described as unobstructed, but there is no trace of the dryad, nor the trace of the diamond.

At the beginning, Chen Ziyang thought that this incomplete ancient tree was transformed by a tree demon, but then he denied his own idea.This ancient tree has a simple and simple feeling, which has never appeared on the tree demon's natal seed.

Obviously, this ancient tree has existed here for a very long time, and it should have stood here 2000 years ago when the ancient Yumi Kingdom still existed.

After simply looking around, Chen Ziyang felt that the only place where the dryad could hide was the hollow trunk of the ancient tree.Thinking of this, he hastily and carefully looked towards the top of the ancient tree.

Under the light of the white beam of light, one can see a looming tree hole at the top of the ancient tree, and the white beam of light protruding from the black vortex above stretches straight into the ancient tree.At this time, Chen Ziyang, who was observing carefully, could see the original appearance of this white beam of light.This white beam of light turned out to be composed of shining souls one by one.

These souls floated out from the black mist above and gathered together to form this white beam of light. Because there are so many souls, these bright white souls are all connected together, so it makes people feel that this is A beam of light.

What surprised Chen Ziyang was the expressions on the faces of these souls.When he was observing the large black mass of evil spirits hanging above the crack before, he found that the souls in the mass of evil spirits all had hideous faces, and even a few souls protruding from the black evil spirits were still interacting with each other. biting.

But the souls that make up the beam of light are very different.These souls were very peaceful, and some had expressions of relief on their faces.

Although Chen Ziyang couldn't figure out the reason, he guessed that the thin black line protruding from the black evil air mass composed of souls should have changed direction after entering the thick fog, and the souls in the evil air were all in the air. It was sucked out here, sucked into this ancient tree.

At this moment, a small finger-sized piece of black bark suddenly lifted from the surface of the ancient tree.Although the angle of this small piece of bark was very small, Chen Ziyang still saw this unobtrusive situation.

After the small piece of bark was slightly lifted, a green bud protruded from the bottom of the bark, and this bud slowly stretched out a small green leaf at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Only at this time did Chen Ziyang realize that this small piece of bark was pushed up by the newly grown shoots below.It seems that this ancient tree is slowly returning to life.

After such a short period of time, Chen Ziyang found that the white beam of light composed of souls seemed to be slightly thicker, and at the same time, the speed of the soul in the white beam of light moving downward seemed to be faster.Recalling the thicker and thicker black line protruding from the black evil spirit before, Chen Ziyang knew that the speed of this ancient tree absorbing souls was getting faster and faster.

This ancient tree obviously grew on the thick trunk under the feet of the two people. The large grassland growing on the trunk also reminded Chen Ziyang that after absorbing the soul, this ancient tree not only Let yourself regain vitality, and even inject these vitality into this huge tree trunk on the ground.

After briefly introducing the situation to Yang Lei, Chen Ziyang said: "I guess the dryad is hiding in the trunk, we must immediately stop this ancient tree from absorbing the soul, and we cannot allow the dryad to absorb it anymore.

After absorbing these souls, the dryad not only recovers its vitality, but also its mana. Every second it takes, the dryad's mana will increase, and it will be more difficult for us to deal with it. "

"Tell me, what shall we do." Yang Lei who was standing behind Chen Ziyang said decisively.Right now, Yang Lei's forehead and cheeks are still aching. When he came to his senses, he attributed the pain to the tree demon. Impatiently, he wanted to fight the tree demon so as to vent his inner frustration. anger.

Looking at the ancient tree in front of him, Chen Ziyang felt that he couldn't do anything.Since he was learning art when he was a child, he has never seen such a special evildoer at all, and he has never even heard of it. He doesn't know how to stop the tree demon from absorbing souls.

After thinking for a while, Chen Ziyang gritted his teeth, and said decisively: "All changes are inseparable from the principle, and the law is broken with strength." the tree goes.
