The video takes stock of the heavens, starting with the Fire Dragon King Natsu!

"Looking for death!" Xi Suo snorted coldly, then he dodged the wolf's attack with a flash, then stretched out his right palm, and a blue flame instantly appeared in Xi Suo's palm.

"Boom!" After a loud bang, the wild wolf was burned to ashes by the blue flames, and Hisoka's right palm also became charred. Seeing the injury on Hisoka's palm, Zero asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Hisoka smiled slightly, then put away his right hand, "Let's keep moving forward! I feel the situation ahead is not simple."

"I know, otherwise I wouldn't be walking so carefully in this misty forest." Ling nodded, and then said, "No matter what the situation is ahead, I will help you."

"Yeah." Xi Suo nodded.

The two continued to move forward, but their speed slowed down because they both felt that the spiritual power in their bodies was insufficient. Although Ling was replenishing their spiritual power, such a replenishment was just a drop in the bucket.

Hisoka looked at Zero and said, "How much spiritual power do you have left? Use as much as you can!"

"Without spiritual power, I can't guarantee that I can come out alive." Ling sighed, then took out a bottle of pills and handed it to Hisoka, "Eat it!"

Hisoka glanced at Zero, and without any hesitation, he took the pill handed to him by Zero, opened the cork, poured out a pill and put it into his mouth.

"Click..."

As soon as he swallowed the pill, Xiso felt as if there was a hot current in his dantian, circulating in his body. Xiso immediately closed his eyes and rested.

Zero looked at Hisoka who was resting with his eyes closed, and something moved in his mind. He also sat down cross-legged and practiced his skills.

"call!"

After an incense stick of time, Hisoka opened his eyes and looked at Zero, "How much is left?"

"Almost halfway." Zero said.

"Almost half, it seems our luck is pretty good." Hisoka smiled slightly, looked at Zero, and continued walking forward.

This time, the two walked much slower and came to the Soul Lake.

Chapter 841: There is a Thousand-Year Soul Tree in the Lake

The lake is very large, the water is crystal clear, and various fish, shrimps, crabs, and other seafood are floating in the lake.

"Soul Lake is indeed worthy of its name." Zero said with appreciation when he saw the scene in the lake, and then said to Hisoka, "Hisoka, you take a rest on the shore! I'll go take a look inside the Soul Lake, maybe I can find some rare monsters!"

"Okay!" Hisoka nodded.

Ling walked to the edge of Soul Lake and then jumped into it. The Soul Lake was very large, and Ling did not sink after falling into the water, but floated to a safe distance.

There is a very small island in the Soul Lake, and around the island, there are many fish swimming in the water.

Looking around, Ling became a little excited because he found two thousand-year-old medicinal herbs here.

Seeing this scene, Hisoka also became excited. If he could get hold of these medicinal herbs, his training speed would be greatly improved. Maybe he could even break through to the seventh level of warrior again, and then he would be able to leave the misty forest.

Thinking of this, Hisoka quickened his pace and walked to the Soul Lake.

Next to the Soul Lake, Zero was squatting by the lake, carefully observing the situation in the Soul Lake.

Hisoka walked over, squatted down and asked, "Zero, did you find anything?"

"I just tried it, and there are very few monsters in this Soul Lake." Ling turned his head to look at Xi Suo and said, then looked at a red plant in the lake and said, "Do you see that tree? It is the thousand-year-old medicinal soul tree. I am sure that there are definitely many thousand-year-old medicinal herbs in this misty forest, but these thousand-year-old medicinal herbs are bound by restrictions and cannot be picked by people."

"I know all these things, so I want to find some thousand-year-old medicinal herbs." Xi Suo said lightly, "Soul Tree?"

"Yes." Ling nodded. "This thousand-year soul tree is a strange creature in the world. It has a powerful intelligence and a very strong defense. Once bitten by it, even a ninth-level warrior will be seriously injured and even lose the ability to fight."

"I know this, but tell me how to pick it first!" asked Xi Suo.

Ling nodded, then looked at the Soul Tree. "The Soul Tree grows at the bottom of the Soul Lake. The Soul Lake is a wonderland. The spiritual energy inside is very rich, but it is highly poisonous. Once you touch the Soul Tree, you will be corroded by the venom. This venom is highly toxic and there is no antidote."

"Are you sure this venom will work on you?" asked Hisoka.

"Yes." Ling nodded. "I was once bitten by a poisonous snake. My flesh and blood quickly rotted away, and only my skeleton was left. But I was able to recover from my injuries, and I can also use this venom to attack the enemy. If I encounter powerful monsters or humans, I will use the venom to attack them."

"I understand this." After listening to Zero's words, Hisoka said, then looked at the Soul Tree and asked, "Soul Tree, has there always been monsters living in this Soul Lake?"

"Yeah." Ling nodded and said, "Every once in a while, there will be monsters coming to this lake to hunt."

Xi Suo frowned upon hearing this and muttered to himself, "Doesn't that mean we have to stay here forever?"

Hisoka and Zero had similar ideas. They both didn't want to stay in this hellish place, so they wanted to go out and find a way out.

Chapter 842: The Red Leaves of the Soul Tree Are Treasures

At this moment, a loud noise came into Hisoka's ears.

Hisoka and Zero quickly looked off into the distance.

A spaceship is flying towards this side.

"This should be the teleportation array!" Ling murmured.

"Soul Tree!"

Suddenly, Ling's eyes became sharp, staring at the soul tree, muttering to himself, "Soul tree! This is a thousand-year-old soul tree!"

"What is this?" Hisoka looked at Zero in confusion.

"The Millennium Soul Tree. Legend has it that this Millennium Soul Tree is a medicinal herb that has existed for thousands of centuries. This soul tree looks very much like Ganoderma lucidum, but it is not. It looks very strange, and its leaves are not Ganoderma lucidum leaves. Instead, they are red and look like rubies." Zero said slowly.

"Red?" Hisoka asked in surprise. "So what should we do now?"

"What you want is the red leaf." Zero said with a smile, his eyes fixed on the Soul Tree.

"Red?" Hisoka was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, "No wonder I feel it is familiar, it turns out it is called 'Soul Tree'! But what is the use of this Soul Tree, why does it grow in the Soul Lake, and the leaves of the Soul Tree look like rubies..."

"I don't know what to do now. Do you know what to do?" Zero asked.

Xi Suo shook his head. "I don't know what to do. This soul tree is too strange. It's not an ordinary medicinal herb at all. How should we deal with it?"

Ling smiled and said, "If it was just an ordinary soul tree, you wouldn't have to worry about this problem, but since you are here, you have to take it away. Don't you want the treasure?"

Hisoka nodded.

"The treasure they are talking about should be the leaf. You should find a way to bring it back." Ling said with a smile.

"Yeah." Xi Suo nodded, and then said, "You wait here for me, I can get it myself."

"Okay." Ling responded and continued to look at the soul tree.

Seeing this, Hisoka's body disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was next to a lake not far from the Soul Tree.

The Soul Tree was circling in the air. When it saw Hisoka appear, it immediately began to sway its branches, making a rustling sound, as if it was alerting Hisoka.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to get something." Xi Suo shouted softly, reached out and grabbed the branch of the Soul Tree and pulled it out.

“I got it.” Hisoka breathed a sigh of relief and put it away.

The Soul Tree seemed to understand what Hisoka said, and stopped waving its branches.

Seeing that the Soul Tree was quiet, Hisoka breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to leave the area. However, just after taking two steps, the Soul Tree suddenly changed. It suddenly shook, and hundreds of red leaves fell off the tree and shot towards Hisoka.

"Oh no!" Hisoka was shocked and quickly dodged.

The branches and leaves of the Soul Tree kept whipping Hisoka's body, making muffled sounds. Hisoka kept waving his arms to block the attacks of the Soul Tree, but the Soul Trees were too dense, and Hisoka's body was instantly covered with leaves.

"Damn it." Hisoka cursed angrily and quickly wrapped his whole body with true energy, barely able to resist the attack of the soul tree.

"How dare you attack me!" Xi Suo gnashed his teeth and said, gathering all his energy and slapping the soul tree with one palm.

Chapter 843: The Call from the Spirit of the Weapon

A golden light flashed, and Hisoka punched the Soul Tree with a loud bang. The entire lake surface instantly churned, and the water splashed everywhere. The branches of the Soul Tree were broken and fell into the lake.

The soul tree was damaged and immediately began to shrink. In the blink of an eye, the soul tree turned into a palm-sized sapling.

Hisoka looked at the soul tree that was getting smaller in front of him, and secretly felt lucky: Fortunately, the soul tree's attack power was relatively weak, otherwise, he would really not be able to guarantee his own life.

Although there are few leaves of the Soul Tree, their number is very large. Hisoka quickly ran away and put those leaves into the ring.

After cleaning up, Hisoka started searching the area again.

Hisoka carefully observed the surrounding environment, trying to find traces of the soul tree, but he did not find any traces of the soul tree around.

Xi Suo sighed in frustration. "It seems that this soul tree is indeed difficult to deal with. However, the spiritual energy here is very rich, and the spiritual energy in this lake is even more pure than that outside. It seems that it is because the soul tree grows in the soul lake! But it is also true that the spiritual energy in this lake is hundreds and thousands of times richer than that outside."

The Soul Tree, also called the Soul Spring, is watered with soul water. This soul spring is a sacred object for cultivators. The function of the Soul Tree is to absorb soul water between heaven and earth and nourish its own soul. This is why the Soul Tree appears in the Soul Lake.

The function of the Soul Spring is very obvious, which is to help monks quickly improve their cultivation.

No matter what it is, as long as it enters the soul pool, it will gradually become stronger, and the deeper it goes, the more obvious the effect of the soul pool will be.

The function of the soul pool is also very extensive. In addition to helping monks increase their cultivation, it can also help monks repair their injuries, restore their normal thinking, restore their memories, and let them remember everything that happened on the soul tree, and they will not forget it in the short term.

These are all benefits.

Hisoka looked around and didn't see anything strange, so he couldn't help but frown.

The Soul Tree is not here, so where is it?

Xi Suo thought about it for a long time, and finally gave up. After all, it was not easy to find the soul tree. Moreover, even if he found the soul tree, Xi Suo didn't know how to deal with it. He couldn't kill the soul tree!

"Let's leave first! We'll think of a solution later." After thinking about it, Hisoka decided to turn around and leave.

However, just as Hisoka took a step forward, a huge force suddenly appeared and fixed Hisoka firmly to the ground.

Hisoka was startled and quickly used his soul power to try to break free from the restraints.

Hisoka tried several times and found that his soul power was unable to break free from the restraints. Hisoka was shocked. The power of this soul tree was really terrifying!

At this moment, an old voice came out, "Little kid, you are not welcome here."

Xi Suo's heart tightened, and he immediately realized that he should be on the Soul Tree now, and that old voice should be the spirit of the Soul Tree.

"Who are you? Why don't you welcome me?" Xi Suo asked in a deep voice.

The old voice laughed. "Because you have ruined the good things of our Soul Tree, I want to stop you from staying here."

Xi Suo frowned and said, "The environment here is very suitable for training!"

Chapter 844: Hisoka Rushes Back to the Competition Site

The old voice said with a smile: "Don't you think you spend too much time?"

When Xi Suo heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised: How did he know about me?

"All things have souls and are everlasting. You have your own mission to fulfill. Go quickly, someone is waiting for you." After the old voice finished speaking, it disappeared into the air, and no trace of its presence could be felt anymore.

"Indeed, I should go back." After saying that, Hisoka hurriedly said goodbye to Zero, took the red leaves picked from the Soul Tree and rushed to the third round of the Monster Gathering competition square.

【square】

"Now we will have the final match. The two contestants are Bai Zetsu from the Bai Ming clan and Hisoka from the human race!" the referee announced. After hearing this, Bai Zetsu walked onto the square, waiting for the match to begin, but Hisoka did not show up yet.

"What about the human race? Are they not participating?"

"Wasn't he punished by the demon king to get treasure? He hasn't come back yet?"

"Is he afraid of being embarrassed, so he dare not come out to see people?"

……

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, but White Zetsu's expression was very calm. He didn't rush anyone. He had already expected that Hisoka wouldn't be able to come, so he didn't feel disappointed at all.

However, Hisoka on the stage was looking at the audience with a puzzled look on his face.

The referee on the stage couldn't help but cough when he saw that Hisoka hadn't appeared yet.

Just as the referee was about to announce the result, Hisoka flew over from a distance.

Hisoka's movements were very light, without making any sound, and he flew towards where White Zetsu was.

"Brother, please wait a moment!" Xi Suo landed in front of Bai Zetsu and said, "I'm coming."

Bai Zetsu smiled slightly, he stood there without moving.

When the referee saw Xi Suo coming back, he asked Xi Suo for the treasure he had retrieved, but Xi Suo ignored him and went straight to the second floor of the viewing area where the Demon King was and handed the red leaf of the Soul Tree to the Demon King.

"Well, go back." The Demon King said lightly, and then handed the red leaf of the Soul Tree to Hisoka.

Xi Suo glanced at the red leaf in the demon king's hand, said nothing, and turned and left.

"What does this mean?" The referee muttered a little depressed. It was the first time he encountered such a situation. However, since the other party didn't care, what else could he do?

The demon king looked at Hisoka's departing back and smiled.
