My sister took me to Xiuxian

From this point, it can be seen that these tree people are not much different from the ferocious beasts in the lower level. They are just physically strong. They can't even be considered demon cultivators. They act because of their body instincts. For a cultivator like Qiu Yi, it is nothing and they can be cleaned up in no time.

However, at this moment, a doubtful voice came from the sky.

"What's going on in Xu Gu Lin? The map clearly shows that this is a forbidden area. How could someone be so foolish as to break in and awaken all the tree people?"

"But this is an opportunity. The elders of the sect said that every tree man has a tree heart in his body, which is the essence condensed from a large amount of life breath. If we can take advantage of the unrest to secretly kill a tree man and seize the tree heart, then this trip to the secret realm will not be a loss even if we don't gain anything." Another person also spoke up.

"Let's go down and see who caused this chaos."

"That's fine, be quiet and don't draw other people's attention."

A bolt of lightning rose up and smashed the huge tree trunk that was roaring towards him. Qiu Yi turned around to dodge, standing in a blind spot above and looking up at the sky.

Forbidden land? Coelenterium forest? Tree heart?

Are you talking about this place?

But a mere group of tree people, a place where he only needs to use one-third of his strength, can be considered a forbidden area?

How come he didn't see that!

Qiu Yi was ready to wait a little longer to see who the people flying in the sky were and what their origins were. What sect or school did they come from? However, he never expected that while dodging the tree people's attacks and keeping an eye on the movements above, he didn't wait for them to come down. Instead, he waited for a red sky-high fire meteor.

The flames were blazing, along with almost melted rocks, falling down with extremely high temperatures, instantly dyeing the tree-shaded sky a bright red.

Moreover, as the flames rose and the smoke spread, the entire forest began to burn violently. The blazing flames scorched the earth, leaving behind one charred patch after another.

Qiu Yi: “???”

My goodness, those guys above don’t play by the rules!

You said you would come down and take a look, but instead you just started a fire?

It seems that the conversation he just heard was also intentional, deliberately delaying time in order to perform subsequent magical powers?

Chapter 59: Darkness

After the fire, the forest was filled with thick smoke and scorched earth. The previously violent and powerful tree people were no longer there, and all that was left was charred charcoal and dust on the ground.

But apart from the smell of burnt charcoal ash, there seemed to be a faint rich aroma floating in this miserable land, which made people feel depressed and confused.

Just like this, another hour passed. The fireworks, having lost their combustible materials, dissipated. Columns of thick smoke flew up to the sky. Three young figures slowly walked out of the smoke.

"We are so lucky that we happened to encounter the time when the tree people in the Coarse Bone Forest were rioting. If these dense roots were deep underground at normal times, no matter how powerful the fire magic is, it would not be able to affect the roots and they would grow again afterwards. We never thought that someone had already provided us with a stepping stone, allowing us to uproot them and catch them all in one fell swoop."

A young man in a silver robe crushed a piece of charcoal and spoke with a smile. It was he who had just cast such a large-scale Skyfire Meteor. Well, actually, his cultivation and strength were not enough to cover this area with magical powers. However, when the fire ignites the forest, many times it only needs to ignite a corner, and the trees themselves will naturally be engulfed by the flames.

"You should be more careful. Your flame is only designed to restrain these trees. It has poor killing power on a large scale. It is not certain whether it can cause any harm to the person who caused the tree people to riot earlier."

Another young man in blue spoke. Even his pupils were blue, and there was a misty ice-blue airflow on his body, which surrounded the three people at all times, forming a simple protective shield to protect them from the thick smoke and ash.

“Brother Zhang and Brother Li, don’t mind. When brother Li was performing his fire magic, I had already mixed the corrosive smoke into it. Even if that person is lucky enough to be okay, he must be weak all over and depressed now. How can he be a match for the three of us? It is more important for us to find the heart of the tree man first!” The third young man looked very confident. They had been prepared and caught the enemy by surprise. How could they fail?

"Indeed, don't worry about it. The most important thing is to hurry up and search for the Heart of the Tree of Life. After this secret realm, once our generation reaches the fifth realm, the competition for the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters among the six holy places will officially begin. Isn't this what we have been practicing for all these years!"

"That's right, let's hurry up. The fire is so big and the smoke is rising to the sky. If we don't hurry up, it will be easy for others to intercept it."

The three of them looked at each other, without saying anything, and walked straight towards the deepest part of the woods.

The secret realm of Tianji Valley is not a big secret to the six holy places, and they all know exactly what opportunities are there, such as this Xugu Forest.

From the outside, it looks like a huge forest, but based on the experience of our predecessors, it can be inferred that it is very likely that this forest is just a tree man of very, very large size.

Normally, it confuses other creatures in the secret realm with the appearance of a tree. Once it encounters danger, it can mobilize thousands of huge tree people to carry out unreasonable beatings on the invaders.

Of course, when it encounters an opponent it cannot handle, it will also actively offer tree hearts in order to save its life. However, according to the analysis of the sect's elders, those tree hearts might just be baits split from the main body and are not the real body at all. After all, for plant-type creatures like tree people, unless they are beaten to ashes, leaving behind a tiny bit of roots will allow them to revive again.

"Over there, I can feel the direction of the vibrations of the underground roots."

"Is it trying to run away? Or is it deliberately diverting our attention?"

"Never mind, time is running out, let's catch up first!"

The three of them rushed forward quickly without any hesitation. They could see a small raised mound of earth moving quickly on the scorched earth. If it weren't for the previous fire that burned the entire forest to ashes, they might not be able to see it so clearly.

After a quarter of an hour of chasing, the three of them used their Taoism to coordinate their efforts to intercept the small mound, blocking its path and surrounding it like a three-legged tripod, waiting for the tree man's final struggle.

Finally, perhaps under the pressure of the three of them, the small mound of earth cracked open, and a vine as thick as an arm came out. It was about one meter long, snow-white and crystal clear, like a little dragon with leaves spread out, lifelike.

All of this is not the point. The point is that on this vine, there are two green halos wrapped in leaves, carrying a vigorous breath of life and a fresh fragrance that is almost too strong to dissolve.

Seeing this, the three people present had burning eyes and could no longer sit still, and immediately reached out to grab it.

but……

"How are we going to divide the two tree hearts among the three of us?" The man named Li, who was wearing a silver robe, had a playful look in his eyes. Part of his attention was on the vines in front of him, while the rest was locked on his two friends.

"I didn't expect this tree man to be so cunning. He actually wanted to use two tree hearts to alienate the three of us." The man surnamed Zhang shook his head, stretched out his hand to grab the bottom of the vine, and said sternly: "Since it can take out two, it must be able to take out three. Why would it let the three of us fight and kill each other?"

"Brother Zhang is right."

The three of them looked at each other, all knowing the importance of the matter, and nodded together: "Indeed, we are disciples of the Holy Land, how could we be fooled by the tricks of a tree man, then we..."

"puff……"

But this time, before they could finish their words, three sharp vines emerged from behind them and pierced their chests first. The sad and bright blood splashed in the air, making the green heart of the white jade vine in the middle look even more tender and green.

"This tree man... Brother Li, please use your fire magic... ah..." The man named Zhang in a blue robe wanted to struggle again, but after being attacked by the plant, the greatest harm was not the tearing of the wound, but the roots that took root in the body through the tearing wound and the toxins that were injected into the body and paralyzed everything.

"Puff puff……"

As soon as the tree man succeeded, one equally sharp vine after another rushed out of the ground impatiently, or drilled into their bodies to take root and sprout, or wrapped around them like hemp ropes, seemingly wanting to enjoy the prey it captured in this way.

The man who was good at fire magic was the first to react. First, the hot magic power surged in his body, burning him with high temperature. A fiery red Yuan Dan flew out of his body, and the pure Yuan Qi flowed, suddenly supporting a red fire area of ​​20 to 30 feet in size. There were lines of flames burning in it, as if to burn the vines directly to ashes.

Seeing this scene, and feeling the tree demon's movements becoming slower and slower and even starting to retreat, the other two men breathed a sigh of relief. It was really too dangerous just now. If they were not careful, the three of them might have really died.

When did the tree people in this secret realm become so wise?

However, just as they were rejoicing in their hearts, a ray of green lightning flew from afar and hit the crystal red Yuandan exactly. With a snap, the Yuandan shattered and the fire area scorched by the flames was extinguished.

!!!

Everyone present, even the tree man who was about to retreat and run away, was stunned. What was going on?

Everyone has finally turned this dangerous situation around, but someone is trying to hinder them. Is this going to drag them down completely?

They couldn't understand it, and their brains couldn't wrap their heads around it for a while.

Of course, this brief stagnation could not last long. At least after the Yuandan was shattered, the miserable screams of the cultivator surnamed Li made the horror of the incident rise to more than one level.

"Who is it...who is it?"

"You come out here?"

The two people who came to their senses almost went crazy. Who could accept being stabbed in the back under such circumstances!

But no matter how they shouted, no one showed up. Instead, the roots of the trees that had retreated just now began to grow madly. The roots squirmed, climbed onto their limbs and trunks, and pierced deep into their flesh, completely depriving the three of their ability to resist.

In the smoke and dust dozens of feet away, Qiu Yi did not show up. He watched quietly as the three holy land elites were swallowed by a tree man without any resistance.

To say that he had pity, it was true that he did not, otherwise he would not have sent out a ray of Azure Sky Thunder at the critical moment. It was just that when he looked at those roots that had taken root in his flesh and blood, he had a strange sense of déjà vu.

At once……

Seems to be……

My own spiritual veins...

same!

It was not until the three monks had completely lost all signs of life, their flesh and blood had been sucked dry, leaving only pieces of bones scattered on the ground, that Qiu Yi slowly walked forward and approached the jade-white vine.

It seemed that the tree man was not far away, silently waiting for his arrival. Only the dozens of roots around it that were swinging like poisonous snakes gave people an extremely eerie and terrifying feeling.

brush!

After all, before the young man could get really close, when he was still four or five feet away, the ground collapsed again, and dense roots surged out, like a swarm of snakes smelling their prey, and pounced towards the young man frantically, fearing that they would never be able to taste the delicious food if they were one step late.

When Qiu Yi saw this scene, the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder exploded and the overwhelming sword energy swirled, ready to roar out in the next moment and clear the field directly. However, an unexpected situation occurred at this moment. In his sea of ​​​​qi, his spiritual veins suddenly flashed with dazzling light, and an invisible aura bloomed, causing the dense roots that were about to pounce on him to all stop, as if the space was solidified, unable to move at all.

"what!"

Then, a truly shrill scream rang out, making people's ears hurt.

The earth suddenly collapsed, snake-like shadows danced all over the sky, rays of spiritual light burst out, countless spikes shot out, and colorful flowers bloomed, touching large areas of colorful poisonous gas. Wherever they passed, the soil was corroded.

The terrifying wave shocked the young man who was well prepared and was deeply surprised.

"Well, this is..."

Qiu Yi dodged quickly among the whips, spikes, and poisonous gas. For a moment, he couldn't figure out what was going on.

Wasn’t it agreed that it was just a tree man?

Isn’t the aura that is exuding now a bit too much?

The young man didn't know how to describe it, but the most obvious feeling was that, just as the three monks had said before, this piece of forest might have been transformed by a huge tree man for hunting.

But now, judging from the surging mana fluctuations, this is not a wild tree man at all? It is completely a hidden wood monk!

Moreover, their strength is beyond imagination, at least at the peak of the sixth realm.

"Whoosh!"

After retreating for several hundred feet, Qiu Yi looked forward in fear.

The dust dissipated, the shadows of branches and leaves that almost covered the sky retracted, and the blooming poisonous flowers faded away. When everything dissipated, what appeared in his eyes was a gentle middle-aged man. The only difference between him and ordinary people was probably his dark green skin color and hair woven from fine vines.

"Plants can cultivate and become monsters?" Qiu Yi asked subconsciously, his heart beginning to beat fast.

This turn is a bit outrageous!

The master of Tianji Valley said personally that there are no demons or monsters that have achieved success in spiritual practice in the secret realm.

"..."

The man opposite also wanted to say something, but when he saw the young man in front of him, an extremely terrified look appeared in his eyes, his face trembled, his lips quivered, and without saying a word, he abandoned the nest he had occupied for hundreds of years and turned around and ran away.

In his perception, at the moment when he was about to attack him, a thin layer of darkness suddenly lingered on the young man, as if he had turned into the source of darkness, violently wanting to devour everything, and nothing could stop him.

He was scared and no longer had the will to fight back.

If nothing else, your life is important.

"???"

After the opponent ran away, Qiu Yi looked confused. What was this guy doing? With such strength, couldn't he stay and say a few more words?

Cautiously approaching the edge of the big pit left by the man, the young man cautiously stuck his head out to look inside. The first thing that caught his eye was a pool of turquoise water, which was the result of the liquefaction of rich life mist.

Secondly, around this pool of water, there is a large area of ​​complex and intricate array runes faintly visible.

Qiu Yi didn't know much about the formation, but this time he understood part of it.

Because the runes in this part of the formation are more or less closely related to the Nine Revolutions Mi Lun Immortal Sutra.

……

Not far from Xu Gu Lin, several figures were rushing towards this side at a rapid speed.

"Your Highness the Fourth Prince, the place ahead seems to be one of the forbidden areas marked on the map, the Xu Gu Forest. Do we really have to go in and snatch the tree hearts of the tree people? Wouldn't it be a bit..." a young genius from an ancient country hesitated.

"Robbery?" Chen Qian, the fourth prince of the Qingyang Ancient Country, laughed loudly and said proudly, "Don't worry, everyone. Xugulin may be a forbidden area for other holy places, but for us, it is a supreme treasure land that can shelter us from the wind and rain."

"Does the prince have a way to deal with that vicious tree man?"

"Why do we have to deal with him?" Chen Qian's eyes sparkled with brilliance, and he said proudly, "I just found out a few days ago that hundreds of years ago, our ancient country's ancestors specially planted a virtual ancient divine vine in the Tianji Secret Realm. Not only did it bear the mark of the ancient country, but every year when the Tianji Secret Realm opens, those of us who enter must bring a lot of spiritual objects and skills to enlighten and guide it to help it practice.

Over time, this ancient divine vine has taken root in the secret realm for hundreds of years, and its strength is enough to turn itself into a forbidden area. Today we will ask for its help to deal with the villain Qiu Yi, and it will be easy!"

Chapter 60: When did you feel that you were in the third realm?

Looking at the clear emerald pool water, Qiu Yi himself did not feel much.

I just feel that someone in Tianji Valley has taken advantage of the situation and found a loophole.

My sister's restriction can isolate the disordered, chaotic and violent life force of the next layer and filter out a small amount of relatively harmless life breath.

However, for some people, this small amount of life breath is obviously not enough to meet their needs, so I made some small changes to my sister's restriction, which not only greatly increased the efficiency of obtaining life breath, but also left enough to accumulate a full pool of life essence over time.

Qiu Yi himself is not a pedantic person. Since the powerful demon cultivator fled in panic for unknown reasons, what he has to do now is to take advantage of this opportunity to gain as many benefits as possible, otherwise it would be a waste of resources.

After scanning the surroundings with his spiritual sense and confirming that there were no signs of any living creatures left in the pit, he jumped in decisively, ready to collect all the crystal clear green water.

But just when he was about to collect it, hundreds of spiritual veins in his body began to shine at the same time, and snow-white light flowed, flickering and flickering, revealing an unprecedented desire.

This was the first time that Qiu Yi felt the different emotions in his own spiritual veins. He didn't even need to do anything. A strange force roared out from his many spiritual veins, sweeping up all the water in the pool and turning it into a stream of emerald green silk, which sank into his body without leaving a drop.
