More than a dozen people gathered around the big tree and started digging hard.
Xiao Chen didn't know what the big tree's consciousness would do, so he could only dig it first.
It has to be said that Xuanyuan Dao is a magic weapon that can cut iron like clay. It is also extremely useful as a shovel.
Even though the ground was a bit hard, it was still easy to break through, and soon a large hole was dug out, and a root of the big tree was seen.
"Damn, this root is so thick..."
Xiao Chen looked at the root in front of him and twitched the corner of his mouth.
But soon, he discovered something unusual. The root had rotted away, and turned into black mud with the slightest touch.
This surprised him. Something was wrong. If it was so untouched, it should have been broken when digging just now.
Instead of waiting until he is dug out, it will look so rotten again.
"Is it the tree's consciousness?"
Xiao Chen's thoughts flashed across his mind and he continued to dig aside.
With the big tree as the center, roots were quickly exposed. They were almost the same as the first roots and soon turned into black mud.
"this……"
Xiao Lin and others were also shocked. Why is this happening?
Is it because it was struck by lightning that the roots are dead?
But why did it decay only after it was dug up?
While they were digging wildly, two more groups arrived at the Lightning Strike Sacred Tree.
After all, this is almost the only way to go to no man's land. No matter which direction you come from in the jungle, you will almost end up here.
Of course, it's not absolute. There are some directions where you can bypass the Lightning Strike Sacred Tree and directly enter the no-man's land, but there are very few.
Finding such a direction, I don’t know whether to say it’s good luck or bad luck.
The two groups were already in a bit of a panic when they got here, and they obviously suffered a lot.
There were several people with bandages on their bodies and blood dripping from them.
When they saw Xiao Chen and others digging in the ground, they couldn't help but be stunned. What were they doing?
One group of people didn't know much about the lightning-struck sacred tree, and were shocked by how big the tree was.
The other group of people knew about the lightning-struck sacred tree, and a very absurd idea arose in their minds... They were not going to dig up the lightning-struck sacred tree and take it away, right?
How can it be!
This is simply impossible.
Not to mention how laborious it is to dig out, how do you transport such a big tree?
It's a deadly jungle outside, not a flat road!
"Old Xue, please burst out your breath to prevent them from coming to disturb you."
Xiao Chen naturally saw these two groups and said to Xue Chunqiu.
"good."
Xue Chunqiu nodded, no longer suppressing his own aura, and exploded.
He was like a sword that suddenly came out of its sheath, displaying terrifying killing intent.
A group of people who were about to step forward felt Xue Chunqiu's aura, and their expressions changed drastically.
What kind of strong man is this?
Innately strong?
No, the innately strong ones are not that scary.
What day?
At least the third or fourth heaven, right?
They immediately retreated, fearing that Xue Chunqiu would come and kill them.
As Xue Chunqiu restrained his murderous intent, they understood what he meant. They cupped their hands and headed straight into the depths without making any stop.
Even though they originally wanted to rest one night at the Lightning Strike Sacred Tree, now... they don't dare to stay any longer.
As for the other group of people, they also left in a hurry.
"I don't know how many of these people will survive."
Xiao Chen looked at their backs and sighed.
He just felt that there are at least four great perfections of transformation energy. Such strong men are considered to be first-class strong men in the world.
Even though there are more and more innate strong people nowadays.
"They should be stuck in the realm of the Great Perfection of Energy. They want to go to the no-man's land to find opportunities and break through to the innate realm..."
Xue Chunqiu said slowly.
"When I couldn't find the innate path, I also wanted to come to the no-man's land... After all, there is a great opportunity here. Maybe if I get it, I can take this step."
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded, withdrew his gaze and continued digging.
As we dig deeper and deeper, tree roots are exposed, some as thick as a bucket, and the thinnest ones as thin as a child's arm.
Without exception, these tree roots rotted instantly after being dug out and broke into pieces when touched.
"Brother Chen, that's not right. This lightning strike wood is very hard. Even if it is buried underground and has no vitality, it shouldn't be so rotten, right?"
Bai Ye twisted a piece of tree root and said.
"Who knows."
Xiao Chen said casually that he already had a guess in his mind that this was all done by Dashu's consciousness.
Otherwise, even if you dig it out, it may not be that easy to cut off these roots.
In order to leave, it cut off all its roots.
I have to say that this big tree is very powerful. After all, if these roots are broken, they will not be able to grow back.
Once you can't leave, you're dead.
This was a life-and-death gamble, and it chose to believe in him.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen was actually a little moved. To be trusted so much by a stranger, no, a strange tree, he must be worthy of this trust.
Although the roots of the tree decayed instantly after being dug out, saving them a lot of trouble, it was still very difficult to dig out the big tree in a short period of time.
It's too big.
The sky is getting darker and darker, and it is almost impossible to see people.
Xiao Chen took out the searchlight from the bone ring and placed it on the big tree nearby, making the place as bright as day.
During this period, several more groups of people came in and were dumbfounded at Xiao Chen's actions.
As soon as Xue Chunqiu showed his powerful aura, they left immediately.
Roar!
In the jungle, a beast roared.
Xiao Chen stopped and looked at the jungle. It was night, and these strange beasts were more active.
"With the Lightning Strike Sacred Tree here, they probably won't come..."
Ding Wu's tone was not certain.
It was like this before, but now they have dug up the Lightning Strike Sacred Tree. Will the Lightning Strike Sacred Tree still protect them?
No one can say for sure.
"Just kill him when he comes... Hey, Senior Ding, you haven't left yet? I thought you had already left."
Xiao Chen looked at Ding Wu and said in surprise.
"..."
Ding Wu was stunned. Damn it, you just saw me here?
"Haha, just kidding, you can just leave when it gets up tomorrow."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Since my seventh uncle said to let you go, I won't kill you again..."
"Alliance Leader Xiao is righteous..."
When Ding Wu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and then flattered him fiercely.
"It shouldn't be a secret that I came to no man's land. Senior Ding brought my words with him when he returned."
Xiao Chen said again.
"It goes without saying that plunderers plundered ancient warriors, just like tigers hunting for prey, but the killing of ordinary people will have to be settled after I go out."
"Please rest assured, Alliance Leader Xiao, I will definitely bring the message to you."
Ding Wu nodded hurriedly.
"Just keep working."
Xiao Chen said and continued to dig tree roots.
"Okay, okay."
After Ding Wu was sure that his life was safe, he worked even harder.
Time passes minute by minute.
If you want to dig out a big tree that ten people hug together, the workload is beyond imagination.
This is still a situation where there is no need to deal with the tree roots, otherwise three to five days will be enough.
In the middle of the night, the big tree tilted slightly.
Xiao Chen pressed his left hand on the big tree, communicated with his consciousness, and entered the dark space again.
Soon he saw the sea of thunder, but the consciousness of the big tree did not appear.
He originally wanted to go to the crown of the tree, the new branch, to see if he could find the consciousness of the big tree again, but he gave it up after thinking about it.
We’ve already talked about everything that needs to be talked about. Let’s dig out the big tree first and put it into the bone ring space.
No matter whether the tree can be reborn from nirvana or die, he has tried his best.
If it really died, I wouldn't blame him.
When it got daylight, all the roots of the big tree were dug out.
The figures of Xiao Chen and others can no longer be seen from the ground.
A big pit appeared around the big tree where ten people were hugging each other.
"We have to cut off all the roots under the big tree, completely disconnecting it from the soil, and then put it into the bone ring..."
Xiao Chen stood in the big pit, looking at the big tree, thinking about how to start.
Just as he was thinking about it, a "click" sound suddenly came out.
Everyone was shocked. Is this tree going to fall?
"Be careful."
Xiao Lin reminded loudly.
Click, click, click...
There were constant sounds coming from under the big tree.
But the big tree did not fall as they feared.
"Brother Chen, the roots of the trees below are all broken..."
Suddenly, Bai Ye screamed.
"Damn it, it broke on its own? What happened?"
"Um?"
Xiao Chen looked down and was surprised. All the roots under the big tree were broken.
Different from the tree roots next to them, some tree roots below are not rotten, but green liquid is flowing out.
Soon, the rich power of life filled the pit.
With the breathing, everyone's spirits were lifted.
"These liquids are all good stuff, please collect them quickly."
Xiao Chen reacted very quickly and took out a dozen bottles in an instant and threw them to everyone.
He also held one, moved it to the broken root of the tree, and caught the flowing liquid.
He dipped his finger into it, tasted it, and his eyes lit up.
The power of life!
This energy is very much like the essence of wood!
Everyone responded quickly and used bottles to catch it.
"It's really rewarding..."
Ding Wu was a little confused. Who would have thought that digging the lightning-strike sacred tree would yield such a harvest.
Will this rich vitality replenish vitality?
If this is the case, then the value of these liquids is too great.
"Connect all the disconnected tree roots to the bottle..."
Xiao Chen was excited. Not to mention what kind of reward he would receive after the lightning struck the sacred tree. With the liquid in front of them, their whole night of digging was not in vain.
At the same time, he vaguely understood why the consciousness said that.
If you are completely disconnected, you will lose the only connection with this place.
Then the new branches will no longer be able to gain vitality...either they will sleep or wither.
Life or death depends on luck.
The green liquid did not flow too much and stopped quickly.
Xiao Chen was a little disappointed, not too much.
He was a little impulsive. Should he stab the tree again and let out some blood? No, let out some more liquid.
But after thinking about it, I gave up.
"How much has everyone collected?"
Xiao Chen picked up the bottle and saw that there was more than half of it in it.
"Well enough."
Everyone answered one after another.
"The harvest is not small."
Xiao Chen looked around and nodded.
"Leader Xiao..."
Ding Wu handed over the bottle, he collected the least.
He just took a few sips and delayed the collection.
He felt that even after collecting it, he had to hand it in... he might as well take a few sips of it himself.
