Chapter two hundred and ninetieth: old tree with twisted roots
"Ying'er, your injuries really don't matter?"
In a mist-filled valley, Zhou Yang looked at the Taoist monk who was sitting cross-legged in front of him doing ground exercises to heal his injuries, with a look of worry on his face.
At this time, two months had passed since they entered the Duanyun Mountains. Because they were traveling alone, and because their own flying speed with the sword was much slower than Cao Wenjin's original flying speed, the couple at this time
He is still in the Duanyun Mountain Range and has not yet come out.
And a few days ago, when Zhou Yang was killing a third-level flying monster that broke his path, the smell of blood suddenly attracted the attention of a fourth-level monster wolf hundreds of miles away, and was finally followed by this monster wolf.
The taste came up.
Ever since, when he was fighting fiercely with this fourth-level demonic wolf, the fighting noise attracted the attention of many third-level demonic beasts.
Those third-level monsters did not dare to deal with him, but attacked his Taoist companion Xiao Ying.
As a result, although Xiao Ying had several high-quality defensive magic weapons and many defensive talismans given by him, she was still outnumbered and suffered internal injuries from the attacks of many third-level monsters.
When he saw that the Taoist companion was injured, he was so enraged that he no longer had any scruples. He used all kinds of methods and quickly killed the fourth-level demon wolf on the spot with a "Qian Yang Divine Thunder".
But it was refreshing to kill the demon wolf at once, because the demon wolf's shrill howl before it died stirred up a hornet's nest, attracting seven or eight fourth-level demonic beasts and hundreds of third-level demonic beasts to massacre the surrounding area.
search.
Under the dragnet search of these monsters, Zhou Yang did not dare to stay for a moment longer. He made a prompt decision and immediately activated a fourth-level wind talisman that could increase flight speed, and hurriedly fled the scene with his Taoist companions.
They ran away for several days, and it was only after confirming yesterday that no monsters were chasing them that the two of them found the current valley to heal and rest.
And because she was running for her life for several days, Xiao Ying only took a healing elixir to suppress her injuries, and had no time to sit quietly and exercise to heal her injuries. As a result, more than a day had passed, and her face was still pale and without a trace of blood.
"Don't worry, Zhou Lang. This little injury on my part is really not a problem. Have you forgotten that the "Qinghua Sutra" that I practice is good at healing and recovery? For this kind of injury, I only need to give me two more days.
If you rest and recuperate, you will definitely be able to return to perfection."
A smile broke out on Xiao Ying's pale face, and her eyes were full of confidence.
As she said herself, the "Qinghua Sutra of Fighting Calamity" she practiced was not surprising in terms of fighting skills, but it was extremely powerful in terms of healing and recovery.
In particular, they are now in the Duanyun Mountain Range, which is rich in spiritual energy and vitality, and is most suitable for Xiao Ying, who practices wood-based skills, to practice and recuperate.
Zhou Yang was also concerned but confused. Now when he heard Xiao Ying say this, after thinking about it, his face relaxed and he nodded lightly and said: "Okay, then we will rest here for three days before setting off."
Three days later, Xiao Ying's injuries fully recovered as she said, and her pretty face returned to its former beauty.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang felt relieved and took the Taoist companions back on the road.
After that, they flew for nearly a month, stopping and stopping midway. Zhou Yang and the two finally flew out of the cloud and fog area and arrived in the outer area of Duanyun Mountain Range.
Although there are still fourth-level monsters in this peripheral area, Zhou Yang no longer needs to be careful and worry about exposing his whereabouts and attracting fifth-level monsters like he did in the cloud area.
So after arriving in this area, he did not drop his sword light and walk on foot like last time, but continued flying with his sword towards the fourth-level spiritual mountain where he had discovered the "Condensing Yuan Fruit".
He flew in the air with a sword so arrogantly, which naturally aroused enough hatred and attracted attacks from many flying monsters that regarded the sky as their territory.
But as long as he is not besieged by several fifth-level monsters at the same time, with his ability, he can kill or repel the incoming monsters safely.
After flying like this for several days, Zhou Yang finally saw the ancient green pine that was over a hundred feet high.
The ancient green pine takes root among the bluestone soil on the top of the mountain, and several roots penetrate hundreds of feet into the mountain, absorbing the nutrients of the entire spiritual mountain to support itself.
So much so that on the top of that huge mountain, except for this old green pine and the emerald green fruit tree like the grapefruit tree below it, not even a single weed grew!
The world of plants is much crueler than the world of animals.
In order to maintain their own growth, tall and lush plants will do whatever it takes to crowd out the living soil of other plants and rob the soil of nutrients to themselves.
That ancient green pine tree has become a demon, and its demonic nature is ferocious. In this regard, it is more absolute and thorough than its unconscious counterparts.
Its roots go deep into Lingshan Mountain. In addition to absorbing the aura of the spiritual veins in Lingshan Mountain to supply its own cultivation, it also absorbs nutrients from the land hundreds of feet below the top of the mountain, preventing any other plants from growing in this area.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yang couldn't help but murmur to himself: "Plundering all things in the world to support himself, the path of this tree demon is more evil than the path of the devil. No wonder no birds and beasts dare to live on this spiritual mountain, for fear of coming
The birds and beasts that live here must have been buried and absorbed by this tree demon as fertilizer in the mountains!"
Immortal cultivators will also plunder spiritual energy for practice, but immortal cultivators will not be as domineering and evil as tree demons, carrying out destructive plunder.
But among all the spiritual mountains where immortal cultivators are located, which one is not full of vitality and spiritual energy?
The unity of heaven and man and the coexistence of heaven and man are the ways of cultivation advocated and practiced by orthodox immortal cultivators.
Even most monsters follow this path.
The current behavior of the tree demon is regarded as demonic behavior in the human world, and it is a demonic evil that everyone can punish.
However, in the world of monsters and beasts where the jungle preys on the strong, although the behavior of the tree demon makes many monsters unhappy, no high-level monster will go up the mountain to cause trouble to the tree demon.
After all, the tree demon itself is basically unable to move. Even if it takes the path of plunder, it can only harm the spiritual mountain where it grows, but not the territory of other demon beasts.
"Plundering the heaven and the earth will not tolerate it. Today, let me, Zhou Yang, come to do justice for the heaven and eradicate you, the demon tree that is causing harm to the heaven and the earth!"
Zhou Yang opened a pair of "Lihuo Golden Eyes" and looked at the tree demon. After looking at it, he looked at the tree demon righteously and let out a thunderous shout.
Before he shouted, he asked Taoist companion Xiao Ying to retreat to a safe place thousands of meters away to wait. He raised his hand, and a crimson feather fan appeared in his hand. It was the red feather fan that he had taken from Luo Yunqing.
The stolen fourth-level high-grade magic weapon "True Sun Fan".
He held the "True Sun Fan" and slapped it hard against the tree demon on the mountain, and the billowing red flames turned into a huge firebird and flew towards the tree demon.
The tree demon had the ability to share the perception of other flowers, plants and trees, and had long since discovered Zhou Yang who was watching in the sky. However, before Zhou Yang took action, the tree demon, who knew his own strengths and weaknesses, did not dare to attack rashly.
Seeing Zhou Yang showing hostility and attacking him directly, the tree demon was angry and quickly used his methods to fight back.
I saw the old green pine on the top of the mountain swaying for a while, and thousands of pine needles fell off the trunk instantly like rain, forming a huge shield of pine needles to block the flaming bird.
At the same time, several branches on the ancient green pine suddenly broke and fell off automatically, and then a burst of green light fell from the trunk to the branches, instantly turning the branches into sharp spears with shining edges and shooting towards Zhou Yang.
past.
These cyan spears transformed from the branches of the tree demon have the same characteristics as the flying swords of the immortal cultivators before the mana blessed by the tree demon is exhausted. They can continuously attack the target according to the will of the tree demon.
When attacking Zhou Yang, the power of the green wood spear condensed with mana will be much greater.
At first, the strength gap between Zhou Yang and the tree demon was too big, and the tree demon did not attack with all his strength, so he was not clear about the specific strength of the tree demon.
But now that the tree demon was attacking with all its strength, he immediately judged from the mana fluctuations caused by the opponent's attack that the tree demon was indeed a high-grade tree demon of up to the fourth level.
Moreover, although the tree demon transformed from an ancient tree cannot move freely like other birds and beasts, it also has its own advantages, that is, its vitality is strong, its magic power is strong, and its recovery speed is astonishing.
It is also a fourth-level high-grade monster. The tree demon's mana is at least three to four times that of the beast-like monster of the same level, which allows it to continuously unleash its ultimate moves without sparing its mana.
After Zhou Yang saw this, he would certainly not be stupid enough to compete with the tree demon for mana consumption.
I saw the "True Sun Fan" in his hand fanning again, and the rolling flames turned into fireballs all over the sky and hit the branches of the ancient blue pine.
Then he waved his hand, and the "Thousand-Blade Disk" flew out of the storage ring in an instant, blooming all over the sky and cutting all the ancient tree spears that shot towards it into pieces.
At the same time, while he was using the dozens of blades formed by the "Thousand-Blade Disk" to fly around him for defense, he quickly made seals with his hands and used the magical power of "Qianyang Divine Thunder" on the spot.
To deal with plant monsters such as tree monsters with strong vitality, there is no more effective method than the "Qianyang Divine Thunder" that contains the killing energy of gold.
Using fire to burn the tree demon, as long as the tree roots are not harmed, the tree demon can rely on its strong vitality to resist. However, the golden killing aura contained in the "Qian Yang Divine Thunder" can directly kill the roots of the tree after hitting it.
His life was cut off by it!
The tree demon obviously didn't know what it was about to face. After seeing Zhou Yang's offensive slow down, it thought it was frightened by its powerful counterattack just now and prepared to retreat.
Therefore, instead of shrinking its strength for defense, it increased its attack intensity, hoping to leave a deep impression on Zhou Yang so that Zhou Yang would not dare to offend it again in the future.
This is the standard thinking of monsters. When monsters are guarding their territory, they will usually choose this method to frighten the enemy when they are unable to kill the powerful enemy.
Then he soon realized how stupid his approach was.
