Chapter 0717: The Sword Pill’s Cut, the Trick of the Tricky Tree
Jiang Yue raised his mental power to the extreme and finally saw the situation clearly at this moment.
Each of these criss-crossing green links points to the end, which is the strange tree that appeared in Tong Fei's dream.
Just looking at the roots of this tree, although they can be considered very developed, compared with the giant trees Jiang Yue saw before, they are obviously much slender, and there are no exaggerated tentacles with fangs and claws.
But its absorption ability is extremely overbearing.
These green ties are like its straws, frantically absorbing the source of life from all over Star City.
Moreover, Jiang Yue could see that the source of life needed by this tree was obviously a heavenly quantity.
Under the constant nourishment of the source of life, its roots are also expanding with a slow momentum. With ordinary people's eyesight, this momentum may not be visible, but Jiang Yue's mental power and eyesight are compared with ordinary people.
More than a tenfold increase?
This can naturally be seen.
With so many spiritual species as the source of life, it is equivalent to making up for the loss.
According to the logic of the Sunshine Age, if one person eats the food of hundreds or even thousands of people, he will definitely be starved to death.
And this strange tree not only did not die, but thrived because of it.
This also means that as its appetite continues to grow, when one day the source of life of all spiritual species in Star City cannot satisfy its appetite, its target of absorption will definitely turn to other living beings, such as humans, such as other kinds of creatures.
A strange creature.
In this way, the situation in Tong Feifei's dream will naturally appear.
Jiang Yue lurked in the dark, observing carefully while also making various deductions in his mind.
In this case, how can we cut off the transportation of these sources of life, and how can we eradicate this strange tree?
Currently, Jiang Yue's most offensive equipment is undoubtedly the sword pill inherited from his ancestors. It can consume most of his blood tank once used.
Although as Jiang Yue's strength continues to improve, he already has enough spiritual power to activate the sword pill, and it will not drain out the spiritual power in his body at once.
But the consumption power of Jianwan is undoubtedly very exaggerated.
At least Jiang Yue's current strength is not enough to use two sword pills at the same time.
As for the equipment other than Jianwan, the Soul-fixing Talisman is naturally the highest level at present. Perhaps it can also be used here?
Of course, it is obviously not enough to rely on the Soul-fixing Talisman alone. It must be used in conjunction with the Fire Flame Talisman, which may be effective.
Various drafts kept flashing in my mind.
Jiang Yue deduced one by one and found that no matter which plan he chose, there were obvious drawbacks.
Attacking with a sword pill is crisp and clean, but it only has the power of one blow. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, Jiang Yue must retreat. And during the retreat, he may be surrounded and attacked by the surrounding giant trees.
As for attacking with chaotic space and fire talisman, it will take a certain amount of time and is not a sure-hit attack. Some unexpected situations may occur in the middle.
Originally, the soul-fixing talisman was more useful, but in the battle against the bald man, the soul-fixing talisman was reduced to ashes and died.
Jiang Yue didn't have time to refine it again.
As for the set of talismans given by Luo Teng, Jiang Yue didn't know how to use them yet, so there was no way he could use them at the moment.
Of course, there is another plan, which is to evacuate in place and then sweep away those spiritual seeds in the periphery. Eliminate all the spiritual seeds in Star City so that this strange tree will not have the supply of the source of life. Naturally, it will be equivalent to sourceless water.
, it must dry up.
But this method is undoubtedly more difficult. After all, who can say clearly how many spiritual species there are in Star City? To find them one by one, the workload is absolutely huge. What's more, there may not be enough time.
God knows how long it will take for this weird tree to complete its evolution?
Ten days and a half month?
Within this time, finding all the spiritual species in Star City will not be much easier than finding a needle in a haystack.
And there is a fatal problem. As spiritual power continues to recover, more and more new spiritual species may appear.
Press the gourd to float the scoop.
It's like whack-a-mole, you can never defeat enough.
In addition, Jiang Yue has another worry. Once there is no spiritual seed to provide the source of life, will this weird tree directly extend its claws to humans?
Using human awakeners as fertilizer?
Looking at the root tentacles of the giant trees outside, Jiang Yue clearly felt that these strange plants had begun to use humans as fertilizer.
However, their summoning range is limited and they cannot extend their poisonous hands to further areas.
Otherwise, the victims will definitely be more than just these.
No matter what the situation is, time is of the essence.
So, no matter what
Jiang Yue felt that he must take action tonight.
In order to ensure the success rate, Jiang Yue approached again, squirming in the deep soil, like a stubborn earthworm, slowly approaching the roots of this strange tree.
Fortunately, although the roots of this strange tree are well developed, they extend in all directions.
But as long as Jiang Yue doesn't touch these roots, this strange tree will not be able to sense Jiang Yue's existence.
Of course, it is also possible that it was absorbing the source of life with all its strength and had no time to be distracted and did not sense Jiang Yue's existence.
Perhaps, it had sensed Jiang Yue's existence, but regarded him as an ordinary creature underground, a creature larger than an earthworm.
After all, this strange tree is just a strange creature. It is not a human being after all. It cannot be measured by human perception.
Of course, no matter what the situation is, it is undoubtedly beneficial to Jiang Yue to not be discovered by this weird tree.
This allowed him to reach the root edge of the tree more freely.
Bypassing the wire-like tentacle roots, Jiang Yue slowly turned the ring in his hand.
The power of chaos immediately spread within ten meters of the surrounding area.
This chaotic force came extremely suddenly, immediately cutting off the source of life that extended in all directions.
This sudden change made the strange tree suddenly wake up, like a furious lion, all its roots and tentacles rolled up crazily.
But once Jiang Yue took action, he was rude.
Boom boom boom, five fire talismans were sacrificed in one go, forming a circle at the roots of this strange tree.
The terrifying power of fire instantly erupted with a momentum like a volcanic eruption. The burning power of one or two thousand degrees immediately burned the roots of the strange tree until it was rolling and shrinking. It turned out that it could not withstand this.
Terrible high temperature burning.
Jiang Yue did not hesitate, took out the sword pill and activated it quickly, and it quickly turned into a golden sword. In the fierce fire, it slashed hard to the root without any hesitation.
Although it was underground, wherever the sword light struck, the surrounding soil was like tofu, not enough to slow down the sword's power at all.
Crack!
A sharp sword strike struck the root of the tree solidly.
What Jiang Yue didn't expect was that the sword was much easier than expected, and it actually cut off the tree roots together, and two strange cross-sections appeared.
There is no tree ring pattern visible in this cross section, but the two sides are a strange turquoise color, so green that one suspects that these are actually two pieces of jadeite.
A bad premonition flashed in Jiang Yue's mind.
Grain Owl
Almost at the same time, the two sides that were severed were like two groups of mucus that had been forcibly separated. They quickly moved towards each other, and returned to their original state in a breath.
In other words, although Jiang Yue's terrifying sword cut off the tree just now, the roots of the strange tree quickly closed under his eyes, and no wounds could be seen at all.
On the contrary, the burning power of the fire talisman made the roots of this strange tree obviously frightened, and they kept shrinking, just like a green dragon, squirming and swimming rapidly deep underground.
How could Jiang Yue allow it to slip away like that?
At this moment, the fire talisman's attack power was attracted, and the five fire talismans were like five-headed fire dragons, and they quickly pursued it.
He also saw that this strange tree was quite afraid of fire attacks.
What Jiang Yue didn't expect was that this strange tree could wander deep underground so easily.
This completely subverted Jiang Yue's understanding of plants.
Since ancient times, trees have been moved to death and people moved to life.
This strange tree not only moves but does not die, it can also move on its own initiative.
This kind of autonomous consciousness is obviously far beyond that of spiritual species like the old banyan tree.
After all, even if spiritual species like the old banyan tree awaken their consciousness and have their own thoughts, they cannot move freely.
Otherwise, the old banyan tree could completely escape, or even leave Star City, to avoid this strange tree depriving it of the source of life.
Soon, Jiang Yue realized something was wrong.
The speed at which this strange tree escaped underground far exceeded the speed at which he could drive the fire talisman to pursue it.
Moreover, the duration of the Fire Talisman is not particularly long, and since it is underground, the soil has a great inhibitory effect on the Fire Talisman.
Just when Jiang Yue was secretly depressed, an unprecedented sense of crisis surged into his heart.
not good!
Feeling the overwhelming terrifying pressure, the whole earth seemed to be trembling, and it seemed that thousands of troops were quickly coming towards him.
It’s those giant trees!
Jiang Yue knew that the strange tree could drive those giant trees.
And each of those giant trees has countless terrifying tentacles and roots.
Once Jiang Yue is surrounded by these tentacles, it will be an absolutely unimaginable nightmare.
It's too late to say it, but it's soon.
Jiang Yue gritted his teeth and gave up the pursuit of the strange tree. At the same time, he opened up the chaos space and quickly escaped deep into the ground.
Descending vertically deep underground was Jiang Yue's only option.
Horizontally or upward, you will inevitably encounter the roots of those giant trees. As long as you are entangled, countless roots will swarm in.
When the time comes, even if Jiang Yue is possessed by a giant, it will be impossible for him to break free.
Fortunately, Jiang Yue reacted quickly and made the most correct decision. Almost at the same time as he fled deep underground, those roots quickly rushed over from all directions.
The speed and momentum of piercing the soil are like countless spears, constantly piercing the soil.
The root tentacle closest to Jiang Yue was almost one meter away.
Fortunately, Jiang Yue was fast enough, and the chaotic space prevented those root tentacles from accurately hitting Jiang Yue for a while.
Of course, as Jiang Yue continues to deepen, the roots of these giant trees will eventually reach their limit.
And this extension obviously consumes their bodies.
When this limit is reached, these roots can no longer follow up.
At this moment, Jiang Yue had already escaped to a position nearly fifty meters underground.
Although he couldn't say he had escaped death, Jiang Yue still felt a lingering fear as he looked at the root tentacles that were constantly being retracted.
After a while, a feeling of frustration and frustration came over me again.
The failure of this attack meant that this strange tree was disturbed.
Will there be another chance?
When it comes to self-blame, Jiang Yue is not one to blame.
If it were an action bureau, they would use the most powerful explosives to plow the ground. Even with the speed of this weird tree's escape, it would be impossible to succeed.
As for incendiary bombs, it is impossible to penetrate deep into the ground and damage the roots of this tree.
At least Jiang Yue went deep underground, and the Fire Talisman threatened the core roots of the strange tree.
But no matter what, this time it was a complete failure.
At the same time, alerting the enemy will inevitably make the chance of taking action next time extremely slim.
Even Jiang Yue's most powerful sword pill couldn't kill this tree. This was indeed Jiang Yue's unprecedented defeat.
You know, in the past, no matter which time, as long as the sword pill was activated, it didn't matter what monsters, ghosts, ghosts and monsters you had, they would all be killed.
This time, the chop was also cut off, but the effect did not meet expectations at all.
What frustrated Jiang Yue the most was that he took stock of all the equipment and skills he had on him and found that with his existing resources, the possibility of destroying the tree was so slim.
Even if he was given another chance, the chance would be slim.
The only excuse I could come up with was that I didn't have a soul-fixing talisman.
But judging from how crazy this weird tree is in absorbing the source of life, which is the third-level spiritual talisman, whether it can deny it is also unknown.
What if even the fixing talisman cannot fix this tree? So what should we do?
It's not like Jiang Yue has never had this thought before. Maybe he should endure it and go back to refine a spirit-fixing talisman first.
But right now, there is no point in making other assumptions.
After a long detour, Jiang Yue finally came out of the underground. He had already left the boundaries of Wuzhou Park, but the location he came out of was the same community he had arrived at before.
Of course, all this is based on Jiang Yue's calculations. Based on his judgment of the direction and distance, he roughly knows where he will return to the ground.
What surprised Jiang Yue was that the plants in this community seemed to have received some instructions. They seemed to have a little bit of spiritual consciousness, and they seemed to be full of wariness and hostility towards him.
Although most of these landscape trees are not very old and are unlikely to have independent consciousness like the old banyan trees, Jiang Yue can clearly feel that they do have some wariness and hostility.
Could it be that the influence of the strange tree can actually cover this?
But it doesn't seem strange if you think about it. The strange tree can lead people in the surrounding community to that area, and it relies on conveying this aura through the surrounding plants.
It is not unusual for plants to be affected in the community.
Fortunately, these landscape trees in the community are obviously not as popular as those giant trees, and they have not evolved any attack power.
Apart from alertness and hostility, he also posed no threat to Jiang Yue.
