Su Wen naturally knew who was more reliable at this time.
"...Dad...what...is this place..."
The sad delayed sound of the Earthly Branches appeared in Su Wen's mind.
"Help me find the exit first...the abyss projection...I don't know what the hell this place is!"
Su Wen estimated the time.
The root of the tree is about fifteen meters away from the ground, and the speed of falling from the dome to the ground is not very fast. It takes almost a minute to move one meter. In other words, Earthly Branch has at least ten minutes to find the exit here——
The five extra minutes are used to escape.
Su Wen clearly realized that once the tree root senses that there is prey here, the speed of movement will definitely not be so slow, and it may be faster than him and Zheng Ming escaping for their lives.
It took almost half a minute for Dizhi to respond to Su Wen, saying that he had received his information and was investigating the surrounding area.
At the same time, the Earthly Branches also gave Su Wen a layer of protection. However, Su Wen sensed that what the Earthly Branches could do instantly in the past actually took a long time and was not completely completed.
The harsh environment severely suppresses the Earthly Branches.
Su Wen even suspected that Earthly Branch was suppressed not only in terms of his contact speed, but also in terms of his strength being severely weakened.
"Is it because the power of the earthly branches is restrained by the power of the abyss?"
Su Wen thought so.
"Xiao Su...Standing still is not an option...How about we find a way out of here?"
Seeing that Su Wen didn't answer, Zheng Ming lowered his voice and said to Su Wen: "...It's okay if you don't want to leave, but we have to do something. Set a fire and burn these tree roots. What do you think?
Sample?"
"set fire?"
When Su Wen heard this, he became energetic.
This unreliable guy actually came up with a reliable idea!
No matter what kind of weird tree it is, it is still afraid of fire. No matter how heat-resistant the tree is, it only needs to provide enough temperature to ignite it.
"good idea……"
Su Wen finally responded to Zheng Ming: "Can you ignite them with extraordinary power?"
"You can try..."
Zheng Ming was eager to try, but he added: "I'm afraid that the extraordinary sequence of the tree root is too high, and it will be troublesome if it can't be lit..."
"Dad...the exit...is up there."
At this time, Earthly Branches also found an exit for Su Wen.
Seeing the location projected in his mind, Su Wen's heart sank.
He had no choice.
The exit was actually hidden at the location with the most tree roots. If the tree roots couldn't be burned with a fire, then he and Zheng Ming would not be able to leave this place.
What's more... it's no longer a question of whether I can leave.
This is a matter of life and death. If the strange tree roots cannot be cleaned up, their fate will be like those corpses whose flesh and blood have been drained by the roots and become nutrients for the tree roots.
"Let me think about it...this fire-ignition skill...was awakened during Sequence 1. Apart from making fire and cooking, it has never been officially used..."
Zheng Ming smiled honestly at Su Wen.
"..."
Su Wen was speechless. Someone actually used the awakened skill to cook... This really subverted his cognition.
It's just that Su Wen is inevitably a little worried. Some of the secret techniques awakened in Sequence One can be improved as their strength increases, but more people's secret techniques will be solidified at the level of Sequence One after awakening and will not change.
.
Su Wen was very worried that Zheng Ming's ignition skills might not be as good as his ability to "build walls."
In particular, Zheng Ming had already consumed a lot of strength. Before he was implicated, Zheng Ming's strength was almost exhausted.
"Be careful...if it starts burning, don't get burned...I think the ground here is muddy enough. If the fire is too strong, just hide on the ground..."
Zheng Ming babbled.
"knew!"
Su Wen blessed himself with "natural breathing", but it was a pity that he could not use his "imitation" ability, otherwise he would imitate the atmosphere of the surrounding environment and try his best to make the tree roots ignore his existence.
"Fire! Fire! Fire!"
Zheng Ming's method of using skills was simple and crude. As he shouted, a ball of fire appeared in his hands. When the fireball appeared, it was just a small flame. When Zheng Ming made a sound, his hands were still moving.
The ground shook, and a huge fireball was pulled out by him.
Then……
Zheng Ming pushed forward with both hands, and the fireball hit the place where the tree roots were densely packed on the dome.
"Huhu..."
The moment the fireball appeared, the nearby tree roots realized something was wrong and moved closer to Zheng Ming. Some roots even made strange syllables, as if to remind the surrounding roots of the danger.
But it's too late.
"boom!"
The fireball landed on the dome and swept in all directions.
"Lie..."
When Su Wen saw this scene, his heart was filled with shock.
He didn't have much hope for Zheng Ming's attack, but in fact, he was quite surprised.
The entire dome was half ignited. The moment the fire started, countless tree roots shook together, making a "rustling" sound. Immediately afterwards, Su Wen saw the tree roots moving like the tentacles of an octopus, and the burned tree roots were everywhere.
Flapping, trying to extinguish the flames on his body. The tree roots that were not affected by the flames instinctively avoided, but more often they reached out to help, slapping the flames, trying to extinguish the flames.
But this kind of behavior can't be said to add fuel to the fire, but it can be said to be putting out the fire with a salary.
The fire continued to spread in all directions, and within a few minutes, the entire dome was ignited.
"Wow...this thing really catches fire easily!"
Zheng Ming couldn't believe that he was the one who started this fire.
"Awesome, really awesome!"
Su Wen pushed his chin hard.
He didn't expect that Zheng Ming could bring him so many surprises.
When he brought Zheng Ming with him, he originally thought that there was an extra oil bottle next to him.
But the actual situation is that Zheng Ming has rescued him several times, otherwise he might have been dealt with by the fog ghost or strange bat.
Being reduced to this place was also a situation that Zheng Ming took action to break.
"If you can leave here alive...you have to thank him!"
Su Wen thought so in his heart.
While Su Wen was sighing, Zheng Ming threw two more fireballs.
One big and one small.
Zheng Ming's extraordinary power had indeed been exhausted. Not only was the second fireball small, it did not even hit the top of the cave and fell halfway down.
But! An unexpected surprise happened.
It fell to the ground and turned into the roots of a wooden pillar, turning into a tree man, walking towards the direction of the two of them. Both of them were focused on the dome, and did not notice that such a thing was slowly approaching.
.
The fireball hit the tree man, burning it from top to bottom.
"……hold head high!"
The tree man let out a cry of pain.
"What is this?"
Zheng Ming, who was exhausted, twitched the corner of his mouth.
"hiss……"
Su Wen took a breath of cold air and whispered: "It looks like it's a tree man... it should be a tree that has come alive!"
"This is quite novel, I have never seen it before!"
Once people lose their fear, they will only find it interesting when they see a dangerous gasp. Zheng Ming is like this right now.
"still got more!"
The tree roots above their heads were burning brightly, illuminating the surroundings. Naturally, Su Wen could clearly see that there were at least seven or eight familiar people approaching them.
The tree man's movement speed is not slow.
"fire!"
Zheng Ming also wanted to use fire to burn it, but he found that even after rubbing his hands violently, no sparks could be produced. Not only that, he finally felt that his legs were weak and he could not lift up his energy.
"I have no power...it's such a pity."
When danger came to him, Zheng Ming remained calm.
Su Wen sighed inwardly, thinking to himself that if he became like Zheng Ming, it wouldn't be so miserable. At least he wouldn't be afraid of anything.
"Let's go!"
Su Wen dragged Zheng Ming up and pulled him to the side to escape.
The danger comes not only from the activated tree people, but also from the ignited tree roots. Many tree roots are balled up into a ball to resist the fire, but the result is often that the whole ball is ignited and falls from a high altitude.
Several fireballs fell not far from the two of them.
This is a fire lit by extraordinary secret techniques, and the burning tree roots have extraordinary properties. Once they fall on you, it is difficult to extinguish them.
It is precisely because of the characteristics of tree roots that Zheng Ming's fireball exerts unexpected lethality.
"I probably won't be able to leave..."
Zheng Ming felt that he was weak. Su Wen held his shoulders and fled to the edge of the stone wall. He said calmly: "If you can leave here, I have to trouble you one more thing. Help me find my brother... Hey, he
What's your name... Zheng Ming, no, it's Wu Yong, I still have some savings, he knows where it is... The savings of the two of them are enough for him to redeem the contract of Wenling Palace, and there is still a little surplus to buy a promotion.
The materials have left Guixu..."
"Without further ado!"
Su Wen patted Zheng Ming's face: "It's just a loss of strength, don't be nervous...it's too early to give your last words."
"...Oh, is that so? I'll talk about it later."
Zheng Ming nodded seriously.
"..."
Su Wen had nothing to say, so he could only silently take out the food from the treasure bag and stuff it into Zheng Ming's mouth.
Food cannot replenish the extraordinary power consumed, but it can provide some comfort.
In addition to the tree people who were accidentally ignited by the fireball and burned to ashes, there are seven tree people who can still move.
But they move very slowly, and they assume a running posture, but they look like an old man who is about to die. If he hadn't sensed that the tree man at least possesses the extraordinary aura of sequence four, plus those unknown roots of the grimace tree,
The tree roots were many times more flexible and agile. Su Wen wanted to go over and cut them off with a carving knife.
"This is not the way to go..."
The tree men avoided the area where the fireball fell, formed a circle, and slowly approached the two people.
The tree people seemed to have a certain amount of wisdom, realizing that as long as the two of them were in this closed space, it would be impossible to escape from their control, so they were not in a hurry to launch an attack.
The fire on the dome had begun to dim.
After all, no matter how many tree roots there are, they will be burned clean at some point.
Once they fall into darkness, they will usher in the darkness of life.
