The poisonous miasma in the black swamps scattered in this area is only the first threat. There are also poisonous insects and other poisonous creatures hidden in it. Among the three of them, the most affected is Ailu.
Smell perception was originally Ai Lu's best assistant when conducting investigations. But in this environment, he could only pinch his nose to reduce the impact of the smell of various rotten and spoiled things in the black swamp on him.
"Ouch..."
Qing held a three- to four-meter-long wooden stick and poked forward to avoid falling into the swamp. Suddenly he poked something hard, and the next moment, a pitch-black one with a row of spikes on its back appeared.
A crocodile-like creature rushed toward Qing. Its enlarged mouth revealed four rows of sharp teeth, and unknown rotten matter was mixed in between the gaps between the sharp teeth.
This made Qing couldn't help but think that after being bitten by this crocodile, even if he was not bitten to death, he would be infected with some strange virus. Thinking about these messy things, Qing's hand movements did not stop.
Squatting down slightly, he suddenly punched the crocodile's jaw from bottom to top. There were no hard scales on the back, and a bloody hole appeared in the black crocodile's jaw, and its body was also knocked into the air. At the same time, Ai Lu, who was standing beside Qing,
The spear slashed hard at the soft belly of the black crocodile exposed in front of him.
The black crocodile quickly spilled a bunch of entrails and fell into the swamp to die. The set of combos was extremely smooth, because this thing killed dozens of them all the way along.
There are also those predators that are not hidden and can be seen from a long distance, and will be shot to death by Ailu with a bow. Generally speaking, the biggest threat to them in this area is poisonous miasma, which Xi has been aware of since the beginning.
Erlei cracked.
Not having encountered any serious enemies, Qing was not so happy, but rather worried. The situation here was obviously seriously affected by the invasion of erosive energy, and it was probably the second most eroded place in the Dusk Jungle.
The most serious place is naturally the eroder's lair. In such a place, there should be many eroders. Even if there is not that kind of particularly powerful eroder, it is not like now that not a single one is seen.
In this regard, Qing asked the two to be careful. Ai Lu heard this and responded: "Could it be that the corroders who went to Yuequan to besiege us originally came from this place, and then were wiped out, and now they are just empty shells."
"Well, it's not impossible." Qing thought for a while, and Ai Lu said it was reasonable. But what he was more worried about was actually the wood element. The Moon Spring area where the water element imprint was located was protected by the power of the element, and even
There is no erosion energy. But where the wood element is, it seems to be completely opposite to the water element.
I don’t know if the guardian of the wood element deliberately chose it. If so, it’s easy to say. If not, who knows if the elemental inheritance left by the guardian of the wood element has been destroyed by corrosive energy.
"I have some bad news to inform you." Ai Lu suddenly stopped and said to Qing and Xierlei with great seriousness.
"What bad news?" Xi Lei asked.
"I felt a presence in front of me with a very strong aura. Even more powerful than the one who was the leader of the corrosive army at that time." Ai Lu said about the aura he sensed.
"Sure enough, it didn't go so smoothly." Qing Zao had a bad premonition, and now it has come true.
"So what should we do now?" Ai Lu left the decision of whether to move forward to Qing.
Qing thought for a while and said firmly: "I think we can move on. Since the spirit of flowers and trees is guiding us here, it is impossible for her to not know the situation here. This means that we still have a chance."
The spirit of the flowers and trees was not dead. She chose to guide them to this swamp, so there would be no chance at all. Unless the spirit of the flowers and trees stood on the side of the corrosive, she would not think of killing two elemental powers at once.
the inheritor of.
The three of them continued to go deep into the dangerous area. Qing looked at the stone slab in his hand and found that it was not far from the light spot. The three of them also saw the source of the powerful aura that Ai Lu said.
"It turns out it comes from..." Ai Lu also didn't expect that the powerful aura he sensed actually came from an ancient tree.
What appeared in front of the three people was an ancient tree, with dark golden textures looming on the thick branches. Leaves wrapped in black air shrouded the surroundings.
Qing could feel the sense of danger coming from the ancient trees even from such a distance. At the same time, he also noticed the suspicious look in Xielei's eyes next to him.
Before he could ask, Xiilei said with a look of shock: "Grandpa Treya?!"
"Lei, do you know this ancient tree?" Ai Lu heard this and turned to look at Xile Lei.
Xierlei nodded and said: "Although there are quite a few changes, I recognize him as Grandpa Treya. He is Grandpa Oak's good friend and the oldest tree spirit in the dusk jungle. But why is it like this?
?”
"It's easy to understand. The tree spirit retains the most primitive tree form and is far more closely connected with the jungle than other races. And this oldest tree spirit is so powerful that it has become the primary target for erosion and energy assimilation." Qing
Based on his understanding of corrosive energy, he explained to Xierlei.
"What should we do now?" Xierlei was a little anxious.
Qing pointed at her, and then said: "I need to rely on you, Lei."
Xierlei quickly realized that she could use the power of the water element to purify the corrosive energy, which would naturally help Grandpa Treya.
"Leave it to me." Xielei took a deep breath, approached Treya who was in the form of a dark ancient tree, waved the staff in her hand, mobilized the power of the water element, and covered it with the power of purification.
The dark ancient tree spirit was also alarmed by the power of purification. The leaves swayed, and vine whips protruded from the branches and lashed out at Xielei. It seemed that because of the hasty reaction, the vine whips were not very powerful.
, Qing and Ai Lu stepped forward to block it. If the ancient tree Treya had used its full strength, these two blows would have beaten them to death.
"Grandpa Treya!" Even though Xierlei possesses the power of the water element, she is still unable to face the ancient tree spirits who are much stronger than her. While purifying the erosion energy with the power of the water element, she calls out to this ancient tree spirit.
Tree spirit.
Needless to say, this operation is really effective. The leaves on the ancient tree are swaying constantly, and an old face appears on the main trunk. The tiredness and weakness on the face are visible to the naked eye.
"It's Xiaolei, get out of here quickly... huh? Is this power the legendary power of the water element?" After Treya was awakened by Xielei, she immediately realized that Xielei was using the power of the water element to save her.
He, Treya, decisively used the purifying power of the water element to suppress the corrosive energy that was eroding him in his body.
"Much more comfortable." A tired smile appeared on Treya's old face, and then she said: "I didn't expect Lei to gain the power of the legendary water element, and the future of the Dusk Jungle will be left to you."
"Grandpa Treya, what's going on?" Xierlei asked while purifying the corrosive energy.
"The erosion here is too serious. I am worried that it will spread to other areas and suppress it here. But I still underestimated this power..." Treya, the tree spirit, replied.
