Chapter 358: Thunder Tribulation Giant Tree at the Bottom of the Lake
Then I saw that in the big lake, there was actually an underwater dense forest, with countless green and towering ancient trees, spreading densely towards the center of the lake.
The closer you get to the center of the lake, the more ancient trees there are, and they are so densely packed together that they even have roots connected to each other, as if they are one body.
Countless branches are intertwined, almost forming a thick wall that is airtight, blocking sight from the outside and preventing anyone from peering into it.
Luo Guan frowned slightly, his face showing solemnity. For some reason, when he looked towards the center of the lake, he felt a little depressed.
If there is no accident, all the weird things on this island must originate from here!
"Sir..." Mu Qingjie said in a trembling voice.
The huge trees under the water were towering, and the shadows looked like claws of ghosts. Even she, a ghost monk, felt uneasy.
Fairy Yunqing took a deep breath, "There must be danger here!"
Nascent Soul has a keen sense of spirituality. When he was in the lake, it seemed like countless sharp needles were constantly piercing his body.
The most correct choice at the moment is to turn around and leave immediately and never come even half a step closer.
But the ghost elder controlled the soul-eating insects to pursue them, and they had no way to retreat.
Luo Guan breathed out, "Don't be afraid, it's okay."
Holding the two girls tightly, he walked toward the lake.
A moment later, at the edge of the large lake in the island, with the sound of "buzz" and "buzz" wings flapping, countless soul-eating insects flew out from the trees.
The ghost elder stood by the lake, looking at the lake in front of him and frowning.
Those three people definitely did not escape from the island. They searched all the way and found nothing, so there was only one possibility——
They are now hiding in this lake!
But Luo Guanneng discovered that the island was weird, and the ghost elder was naturally aware of it.
Staring at the large lake in front of him, the old man's expression was uncertain. His intuition told him that there might be great danger in the lake.
It's best not to step into it.
But Fairy Yunqing and the girl with the gloomy body must have been taken into hiding in this lake by that damn bastard junior...
Gritting his teeth, the ghost elder waved his sleeves. A piece of soul-eating insect flew to protect him, and then he stepped into the lake.
Today's great opportunity must not be given up... Of course, what's more important is that the three of them dare to enter it, and he, the dignified Yuanying boss, has no reason to be afraid.
Even if something were to happen, the three of them would be the first to suffer misfortune, so he could just act according to the situation.
Buzz——
The soul-eating insect enters the water!
The topography of the island is originally high on all sides and low in the middle, but the depth of this lake still exceeded the expectations of Luo Guan and the others.
The further you go down, the denser the ancient trees become, and the trees become more astonishing. Each tree is hundreds of feet tall. They are rooted in the great lake, and they are full of vitality even if they don't see the light of day all year round.
At this point, due to the obstruction of the branches above the head, and as it continues to go deeper, the bottom of the water is already pitch black.
Luo Guan took out several lighting orbs and used his magic power to activate the suspension, but they could barely illuminate the surrounding area.
Fortunately, although it was completely silent underwater, we didn't encounter any accidents along the way.
But Luo Guan's expression, instead of relaxing, became more solemn.
Finally, a wall of trees blocked the way for the three of them.
The ancient trees at the bottom of the lake are too dense, their trunks grow wildly, they are squeezed together, and there are countless thick branches intertwined...
No, to be more precise, what we see in front of us is not a wall, but a towering fortress made of trees!
This fortress hides the island's biggest secret.
Buzz——
Buzz——
Water can carry sound, and subtle movements can come from all directions.
Soul-eating worm!
"Jie Jie... Even if you escape to the bottom of this lake, you are doomed to die." The ghost Taoist's sneer shook in the lake, "I will give you a good time if you are captured without any help, otherwise I will use soul-eating worms to burrow into your soul and make you suffer."
You guys have a taste
, what is the soul-eating pain!"
Luo Guan took a deep breath, asked Mu Qingjie to back away slightly, took out the Night Banquet Sword, raised his hand and slashed forward.
Hearing a "clang" sound, sparks burst out from the bottom of the lake, and there was only a shallow slash mark on the tree wall in front of him.
The lower part is exposed, which is completely golden and looks like a golden tree.
Although Luo Guan had seen the amazing texture of the trees here when he was on the island, the scene before him was still shocking.
It should be noted that with Luo Guan's current strength, even if he does not attack with all his strength, he is still comparable to the Golden Core Realm.
A slash of the sword could only leave a shallow slash on the tree wall... Its strength is simply unimaginable!
Rumble——
The calm bottom of the lake suddenly stirred up, as if a huge thing was rushing towards this place.
The ghost Taoist laughed ferociously, "I found you!"
There is an indestructible wall of trees in front of it, and there are Nascent Soul ghost cultivators coming from behind.
Fairy Yunqing's eyes showed helplessness and despair.
After a lot of twists and turns, he still couldn't escape death in the end...
From the beginning to the end, Luo Guan, who brought her here, never showed any evil thoughts.
It seems that what I thought before must have really misunderstood him.
Thinking of this, Fairy Yunqing's eyes softened and she said softly, "I am the one who has caused trouble to you today, I'm sorry..."
If Luo Guan had stood by and watched before, his amazing ability to cover up his aura would have been enough to protect himself.
"So that's it! So that's it!" Black Turtle's voice suddenly sounded, "Boy, smear your blood on the sword..."
Luo Guan turned over his hand and drew his fingertips across the edge of the sword. Blood immediately poured out, dyeing the sword red.
Raise your hand and slash forward!
The blood-stained sword sliced through the tree wall as easily as it sliced through tofu.
But the tree wall was too thick, and there was only a gap, but it was not broken. .
Luo Guan's eyes lit up, "Hold me!"
Mu Qingjie hurriedly hugged him tightly from behind, and he strode forward and waved his sword.
puff--
puff--
The tree walls shattered under the sword's edge, reflecting bright golden light under the lighting orb.
As the last sword was slashed, a passage suddenly appeared in front of him. Luo Guan did not hesitate and strode into it.
But the scene before him made his pupils shrink——
I saw that in this pitch-black darkness, a towering fortress composed of countless giant trees at the bottom of the lake, was actually a withered and dead place.
In front of him, there was a huge tree that stretched up to the sky, which was split in half and fell to the ground miserably.
Its surface was charred black, as if it had been burned by thunder and fire, and its countless branches were all bare and scorched.
Standing here, in front of my eyes, I seem to be able to see the horrific scene that happened a long time ago.
There is an island in the sea, and a giant tree protrudes from the sky in a large lake in the center of the island. One day, thunder suddenly falls from the sky, splitting it into pieces instantly, and then a fire breaks out, causing the entire lake to boil!
But obviously, although the surface of this giant tree that was struck by lightning was charred black and miserable, it was not really dead.
Because the roots of the giant trees are deeply rooted in the earth, strands of golden light are constantly pouring out.
He tried to blend into the broken tree and revitalize it, but was annihilated by the annihilating power of the sky thunder. Only a few parts remained, passing outward along the withered roots of the tree.
This dense, astonishing root system like a dragon, the closer it gets to the broken tree, the more charred it becomes. But when it extends to the tree wall, it becomes a little more alive, and the tips penetrate into the tree wall...
To be precise, all the towering ancient trees under the lake are derived from these tree roots.
If there is no accident, all the towering trees on this entire island are derived from this broken tree in front of me, which was once punished by God!
But when the three of them looked at the scene in front of them with shock on their faces, a sudden change occurred.
