Thick smoke was billowing in the clearing in the forest, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger. Seven Taoist warriors set fire in the forest, and with the help of everyone in the formation, one can imagine how terrible the fire would be.
As many as ten kinds of fires with different colors spread with considerable momentum, and it did have a certain effect. The fire soared into the sky, igniting the tree spirits, making the old vine roots on the ground become weaker and weaker, making the hanging tree spirit become weaker and weaker.
The thousands of branches under the canopy have lost their original vitality and no longer pose much of a threat to everyone.
After a full two hours, the branches, tree roots and old vines retreated from the unknown formation like a tide. Feng Jueyu tried his best to deduce the changes in the formation for two hours. It was not ordinary tiring, and there was a steady stream of energy.
Mobilizing the original divine power to maintain the high-speed operation of the formation was no worse than fighting against the Barbarian Emperor. When the formation was finally able to maintain smooth operation without him, Feng Jueyu was finally tired and lost all strength. He jumped from the Black Lotus Platform.
It fell down and fell to the ground.
Everyone gathered around and helped him up. They all knew that he was the one who contributed the most and consumed the most in this battle, and they all gave him panacea.
Feng Jueyu ate a few pills and sat down again. While adjusting his breath a little bit, he released all four golden bodies and guarded them at the four corners of the east, south, west and north of the nameless formation to prevent the tree spirits.
Come back again.
There was no fire within the formation. The fire was isolated from the formation by the nameless formation. No matter how fierce the fire was, it could not burn them. However, outside the formation, dozens of tree spirits were burning.
, and if you observe carefully, you can also find that the toughness of these tree spirits is so strong that even if they are burned by the Nine Ancient True Flame for a long time, I am afraid that it will not be burned out even if it takes two days and three nights.
"These tree spirits are so resistant to burning. It's been two hours and they haven't turned into ashes yet." Lu Wuzai, holding a fire magic weapon, wiped the sweat from his head, his calves trembling.
"Brother Lu, you are injured, let me give you some medicine." Miao Qing was panting tiredly, but he did not forget to help Lu Wuzai.
Lu Wuzai's clothes were in tatters. There were cuts everywhere made by branches. The damaged parts of the clothes were stained with bright red blood. There were as many as a dozen such wounds. It seemed that the sudden change just now had really caused a lot of damage.
Lu Wuzai posed a great threat.
"It's just a flesh wound, don't worry about it." Lu Wuzai saw that Miao Qing was also very tired, so he rejected his kindness, and then he exclaimed: "This ghost landlord is really evil, just a few old tree spirits,
It’s so powerful, who can tell me where exactly this place is?”
Everyone was out of danger for the time being. They all gathered around Feng Jueyu and sat in the center of the formation to bandage the wounds, take pills, regulate their breath and Qi, and circulate the heavens.
No matter how strong they are, they are still ordinary people. Even if they have physical skills and can fly to the sky and escape from the earth, no matter how powerful their cultivation is, there is a critical point that they can withstand. When this critical point is exceeded, they will be injured, too.
Will bleed.
However, beings like them, whose strength is almost close to that of gods, can be tortured into this state by tree spirits. It is foreseeable that those tree spirits are likely to have a more terrifying origin.
After a lot of tossing, everyone was very tired. They took the time to adjust their breath and practice while gathering around to discuss.
"What's going on with these dryads? I've never seen such powerful dryads before."
"Look at the mist here. It is the origin of the earth element and the wood element respectively. The breath of life is extremely thick. I think we should have triggered some kind of restriction here to wake up the tree spirits. The most likely reason is this piece of jade.
Damn it." The Lord of the Blighted Realm had a sudden idea and found the key.
After hearing this, everyone nodded one after another: "Yes, it must be that jade slab. Didn't Mr. Pang want to lift it up just now? Come on, see what's weird about that jade slab?"
At present, the nameless formation is trapped in all directions, firmly blocking the dryads from outside the formation. Coupled with the burning fire, the dryads cannot yet pose a threat to everyone.
But as long as you look out from the formation, you can see the branches swaying in the vast forest and their teeth and claws showing. It is obvious that the tree spirits in other places have not been burned and are still alive and well, which is equivalent to trapping everyone here. This is not a good sign. Those trees
They are extremely resistant to burning, and once the fire is extinguished, the dryads will surely come back.
Even if a clear space is cleared around them, they will still be in a prison, unable to move forward or retreat.
While he was talking, everyone quickly gathered around and overturned the jade boards.
The back of the jade plate was covered with mud. After cleaning it, they found that there were still densely packed ancient divine words, which were about the same size as the front. Many of them were divine symbols that they did not recognize, and most of the divine symbols were
It was blurry and couldn't figure out the reason. Now everyone was even more confused.
"What is written on it?" Lu Wuzai's head swelled as soon as he saw the divine language. After all, he had never been exposed to this before.
Among everyone, only Pantan had the most say, but after looking at it for a while, he shook his head helplessly.
"Oh, the divine language on this is too ancient. It's worse than the front. I can recognize two characters on the front, but I can't recognize any of the characters on the back." He took the ancient scroll Feng Jueyu gave him and looked at it for a while.
Expressing helplessness.
At this moment, Cao Sheng, who was sitting next to him, suddenly said: "I think the awakening of those tree spirits may have nothing to do with this jade slab."
Everyone was shocked and turned to look at Cao Sheng.
Feng Jueyu said: "Cao Shengjun, how do you interpret this statement?"
Cao Sheng glanced at everyone, pointed outside the formation and said: "Twice before, I accidentally discovered that the trees here can move. When I mentioned it to you, you thought I was dazzled, but now that I think about it, it may not be me.
It's dazzling, but all the flowers, plants and trees on this land should be alive. Do you still remember those two whines?"
Everyone looked at each other.
Rong Realm Master nodded and said: "Of course I remember it. That whining sound was sad and resentful. I don't know what made it..."
"Yes..." Cao Sheng said: "At first, I thought it was Mr. Pang who touched the jade plate and revived the tree spirit. But now it seems that this possibility is unlikely. On the contrary, the whining sound seems to be the reason why the tree spirit woke up.
He is the evil leader who awakened the tree spirits. If you think about it, if it is true that I saw the tree spirits move when I first entered the forest, it means that the tree spirits here should be awake themselves and have nothing to do with the jade plate.
?”
"Then why did they attack us when we got here?" Miao Qing was puzzled.
Cao Sheng said: "I think it's the whine. Do you think it was the first time we heard the whine?"
"About thirty breaths!"
"What about the second time?"
"Sixty breaths!"
"That's right." Cao Sheng said very keenly: "Look at the fog here. Is it a little thicker than outside? Moreover, the sadness brought by the second whine has become stronger for a long time. Do you have any thoughts?
What comes to mind?"
"Distance!" Feng Jueyu thought for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"That's right." Cao Sheng concluded: "I guess there are two reasons why the tree spirits here were awakened. One is the distance, and the other is the intensity and length of the whine."
A group of eight people looked at me, and I looked at you, and they suddenly understood.
Pantan looked into the distance and said: "We came in from the outside and walked to now, which is at least three to forty miles away. In other words, if there is any powerful monster hidden in the deepest part of this land, then what kind of monster is there?
The sound it makes will affect the tree spirits here. If the distance is too far, the tree spirits may not attack, but the closer the distance, the greater the impact of the whine on these tree spirits, and they will go crazy.
Attack us."
Mo Xicheng and Feng Jueyu nodded repeatedly. At this moment, Lu Wuzai suddenly pointed outside the formation and said: "Hey, hey, hey, look, the tree spirit outside is not moving."
In the forest filled with thick smoke, dozens of giant trees lit by the original spiritual fire stopped swinging their branches, and the old vines and roots clinging to the ground also stopped invading the formation. At this time, the forest looked like a normal one.
Like the deep mountains and old forests, the tree spirits seemed dead.
call!
Feng Jueyu waved his hand and withdrew the formation, looking around with great vigilance. Sure enough, the tree spirits no longer launched an attack.
Everyone's eyes lit up, and Mo Xicheng said: "Two hours have passed since the demonic whine, and these tree spirits have just returned to their deep sleep. In other words, they cannot stay awake all the time, but are affected by the demonic whine.
It only comes out to cause trouble due to the influence, and that voice cannot completely control the tree spirit."
Feng Jueyu immediately stood up and said: "I don't know how long it takes for that sound to be heard. Before the sound is heard yet, if we walk further inside, we will definitely find more clues about this place."
After he finished speaking, he looked at everyone with solemn eyes and said, "Do you want to investigate further?"
"I'll go." Pantan said without any hesitation.
"I'm afraid this is inappropriate. These tree spirits are no weaker than the original Peeping Realm. I don't know what is more terrifying inside?" Lu Wuzai said with a bit of trembling.
Miao Qing stopped talking this time, and the leader of Kurong Realm said: "This is a God-given opportunity. We really want to know what is going on in this land?"
Cao Sheng thought for a while and said: "I have been practicing all my life and I have never seen any big winds or waves. I want to see what this ancient land has."
When Lu Wuzai saw that most people wanted to go in and have a look, his heart was wavering. He looked at Miao Qing and said, "Brother Miao, can you say something?"
"I...I can do anything..."
Lu Wuzai rolled his eyes, and Feng Jueyu glanced at Mo Xicheng. Needless to say, Mo Xicheng was not afraid of this dangerous place at all, so he said: "That's it, let's go inside together, in case we encounter a fight."
If you are a monster, please withdraw immediately and we will discuss the long-term plan later."
Miao Qing said: "This idea is okay."
"Then go." Lu Wuzai had no choice but to fulfill everyone's wishes.
After saying that, everyone got ready and continued walking deeper.
