In the underground passage in Youyu Secret Territory, Ye Yang and the others left the lava cave and walked towards the original path.
When they first entered the spacious hall, the expressions of the three of them suddenly changed slightly. At this time, there were several corpses lying in the hall.
To be precise, they were actually several mummies. Judging from their clothing, they were those of the people who came in with them, but all the flesh and blood had been lost, as if they had been dried for several years.
Mu Yuqing frowned slightly and said solemnly, "It seems that the Netherworld Dryad is still alarmed."
"Netherworld Dryad?" This was the first time Ye Yang had heard of it.
"The Nether Dryad has almost disappeared in the outside world, but the bad reputation it left has made countless practitioners frightened," Mu Yuqing said.
After Mu Yuqing's explanation, Ye Yang understood the horror of the Netherworld Tree Demon.
It turns out that the Nether Dryad is a plant monster. Because its attacks are too strange, it is called a Dryad.
The Nether Dryad relies on its well-developed root system to capture prey. All creatures it captures will have their flesh and blood essence absorbed by it instantly, turning them into mummies in front of them.
"How strong is this Netherworld Tree Demon?" Ye Yang asked.
Mu Yuqing shook her head and said, "I don't know the details. The master told me before leaving to try not to disturb this Netherworld Tree Demon. If he encounters it, don't fight him and run away."
With Mu Yuqing's strength, her master would not let her fight with her. I am afraid that the strength of this Netherworld Tree Demon must be at least the fourth level, and it is very likely that it is already the fifth level.
Thinking of the fifth-level monster in the secret realm, Ye Yang's scalp went numb for a while. You must know that the giant scorpion almost killed him, and it was only the fourth level.
"But don't worry, we will be fine if we are careful. As long as we don't touch the Netherworld Dryad, we will still be very safe," Mu Yuqing said.
"Why does the Nether Dryad still have a true body? Are they divided into separate bodies?" Ye Yang said in surprise.
Mu Yuqing nodded and said, "Yes, the netherworld tree demon's root system is very developed. It can leave the main body independently, capture prey, and then return the absorbed essence back to the main body."
He didn't expect that the Netherworld Dryad would have such a weird hunting method. Ye Yang found it very incredible.
But they didn't think much about it. The three of them continued to move forward according to the route on the map. Occasionally they would see corpses that had been sucked and fucked.
Ye Yang sensed that these people were new military generals and their cultivation was relatively weak.
As he was walking, a tentacle as thick as a duck's egg suddenly poked out from the ground, with countless burrs growing on it, and it curled towards Ye Yang's leg.
The two girls reacted immediately and were about to attack when Ye Yang shook his head and said "No"
Just after the tentacle wrapped around Ye Yang's calf, the countless burrs on it stabbed Ye Yang's body fiercely.
Seeing this scene, both of them exclaimed, but out of trust in Ye Yang, they still did not take action.
Just when the tentacle was about to insert its spikes into Ye Yang's body and suck him into a mummy, Ye Yang's entire body instantly turned into bronze.
No matter how sharp the spikes were, they couldn't do anything to Ye Yang. Ye Yang used his strength to drag the tentacles wrapped around his calves out of the ground.
Following Ye Yang's movements, a tree root like an octopus was pulled out of the ground by him.
The tree root seemed to have intelligence. It instantly let go of Ye Yang's calf and was about to drill underground.
"Don't even think about running away once you're here." Ye Yang sneered.
Grasp the thickest part of it, let it struggle no matter how hard it is, and always squeeze it firmly.
The "root" suddenly fell into madness, and its tentacles, like whips, whipped Ye Yang wildly.
At this time, Ye Yang has summoned the bronze true body, and the "roots" cannot be shaken at all.
After only a few strokes, the tree roots slowly withered, and then became silent.
Ye Yang was a little surprised. He sensed its life breath and found that it was now a dead thing and turned into a real group of tree roots.
Seeing Ye Yang's confusion, Mu Yuqing explained, "The body of the Netherworld Tree Demon cannot leave the ground, otherwise it will lose the nourishment of the main body and die instantly."
After listening to Mu Yuqing's words, Ye Yang nodded slightly and pondered for a moment, "This split is also very strong. It has at least reached the level of a third-level monster. Its attack method is weird and silent. Even for a general, it is very powerful."
Easy to follow”
"The strength of the split body is already so strong. I am afraid that the strength of the Netherworld Dryad's body is probably already at level five," Ye Yang said solemnly.
"Let's go. If you can't beat him at worst, just run away. Let's try not to provoke the subject." He said before leading the two of them away.
"Hey, brother Ye Yang, this is a treasure, and you just threw it away like this?" Mu Yuqing pointed to the tree root that Ye Yang threw away on the ground.
"Baby, is this useful?"
"Yes, the root of the Nether Dryad is the essence of its body. Even if it is separated, it is a rare treasure. Whether it is used as medicine or for alchemy, it is a very precious material."
"Don't worry, it doesn't look very good, but if you take it out to the outside world, I'm afraid it can be sold for several million gold coins," Mu Yuqing said.
Good guy, I almost threw away millions. Is this the legendary big deal?
Ye Yang hurriedly put away the bunch of tree roots and said with some embarrassment, "Hey, thank you Yuqing for being well-informed, otherwise the loss would have been great. It's terrible to be uneducated."
Mu Yuqing listened to Ye Yang's praise, smiled and held her arms with the two of them, and continued to move forward together.
Along the way, we saw no more Netherworld Dryads or mummies. It is estimated that the generals who were killed were all isolated individuals who died without the care of the team.
It seems that the remaining people belong to various forces, and basically no one acts alone, which is relatively safer.
The three of them marched for half an hour, gradually approaching their destination, when they heard the sound of weapons clashing in the distance, mixed with ear-splitting roars.
The three of them looked at each other and hurried forward.
After turning a corner, an open field appeared in front of us, with a radius of several thousand feet.
On one wall, there was a hole. The hole was not big and only about ten feet deep.
Inside, there was a small tree about three feet tall, with more than a dozen fruits on it, the size of a baby's fist. Some of them were already red, exuding an alluring aroma, filling the entire hall.
At this time, in front of the fruit tree, a huge black bear was fighting fiercely with a group of people. The roar of its palms and the wind shook the entire cave.
This black bear is not very tall, only about two feet tall, and the aura it emits is only level four.
Its body is completely black, and every hair is shiny, as if it is made of steel. Even if an ordinary treasure is struck on its body, although sparks will fly everywhere, the hair will not be damaged.
There were more than twenty generals surrounding him, including Fang Chuge, Long Xiaoyun, Jin Yunshan and other masters.
A group of people surrounded the black bear, but they were helpless against its defense, making it difficult to effectively cause harm to the grizzly bear.
However, the black bear's attack was not something they could withstand. Now there were four people on the ground, beaten to a pulp.
"It's indeed the Spirit-Forging Wonderful Fruit, it's great," Mu Yuqing said with excitement.
The three of them did not rush into the hall, but quietly observed the situation inside in a hidden place.
The Spirit-casting Fruit? Ye Yang was shocked. He didn't expect the Spirit-casting Fruit to look like this. He had only seen a text introduction before, and there was no illustrated book.
The Spirit-casting Fruit is a sacred object for spiritual practice, which can enhance spiritual practice's affinity with nature and its understanding of heaven and earth.
The Magical Spirit-casting Fruit is something that any spiritual practitioner dreams of. However, there are only legends about the Magical Spirit-casting Fruit in the outside world, but it has never been seen.
"Last time, Master obtained a Spirit-Forging Fruit in the secret realm. Later, her cultivation improved rapidly. She once told me that her achievements are inseparable from the Spirit-Forging Fruit."
"No matter what, I have to help brother Ye Yang grab one today. Brother can be promoted to Spirit Emperor in the future," Mu Yuqing clenched her fists and said firmly.
Why does this girl always move me so much? If this continues, I will fall into despair soon.
Ye Yang gently took Mu Yuqing's jade hand and sighed, "I'm afraid no one will be able to get the Spirit-casting Fruit today."
"Why? Because of that bear? Although it is powerful, it is only level four, so it shouldn't be able to stop the likes of us," Mu Yuqing said doubtfully.
Ye Yang smiled bitterly, rubbed Mu Yuqing's little head and said, "Why do you always look at the surface of things? Think about how powerful the Netherworld Dryad is?"
"The Nether Dryad is very powerful, it should be a fifth-level monster, but what does it have to do with the black bear in front of you?" Mu Yuqing asked.
"The Nether Dryad is bloodthirsty. If this bear really only has the fourth level of strength, how could it survive here? It would have been sucked dry long ago," Ye Yang said.
"Ah?" Mu Yuqing was shocked. "Could it be that this black bear has hidden its strength?"
"I'm not sure." Ye Yang shook his head. "This black bear feels very dangerous to me. It will definitely not look like this."
"Just watch, there are people who are more anxious than us anyway, let's just watch the show," Ye Yang said with a smile.
So the three of them cuddled together and quietly looked at the battle ahead, as if I was just going to watch and I wouldn't say anything.
The twenty-some people in front of me are divided into three factions: Dragon Stone Empire, Shu Chong Empire and Guiyundong.
The leaders are all the top masters in their forces: Long Xiaoyun, Jin Yunshan and Fang Chuge.
Before they came here, they had been cared for by their elders. If they had the ability, they would bring back a magical fruit forging spirits at any cost.
So they made an appointment to enter here together, preparing to seize the magical fruit, only to have a big fight with the black bear in front of them.
As soon as the battle started, everyone saw that the black bear in front of them was only level four, and there were three top experts on their side, so they suddenly carelessly charged in.
As soon as the results came up, one person was beaten to a pulp on the spot, and in the panic, several more people died immediately from the bear's paws.
Although the three of them were all top experts, there were a large number of people attacking them, and they didn't cooperate very well. Most of the time, they fought independently, and their lethality was really limited.
More often than not, it was because of everyone's resistance that they missed the opportunity to rescue their teammates. Although they were angry, they had no choice but to fight with the black bear.
"Guys, don't keep it, otherwise you will have long nights and many dreams" (To be continued)
