After hesitating for a while, the old tree said to the spirit sword feather, "The heart of the tree is my foundation. Without it, I can't transform into a human form, and I can't explode with powerful power, let alone leave here.
Only one tree can take root here forever."
"So, you can't leave mainly because the tree heart is gone?" Ling Jianyu seemed to understand something.
"right."
Ling Jianyu frowned, "It's a pity that I'm too weak to help you get it back."
"Maybe he can." Laoshu said to this Ling Jianyu.
Ling Jianyu was suspicious, "You mean, he can defeat that secret realm monster."
"Defeat it, I dare not say, but it is okay to prevent that weird guy from getting hurt." The tree affirmed.
Ling Jianyu said strangely, "Is this kid so powerful?"
"Although he is only in the Golden Core Realm, I found out from the moment he entered this secret realm that he is very extraordinary. Moreover, he is not afraid of the lonely souls here, and can even enter and exit the cemetery at will."
Ling Jianyu suddenly felt incredible and said, "It's really not simple."
"Just watch." After the tree said this, he stopped talking and kept paying attention to Lu Chen's every move.
As for Lu Chen outside the big tree, as soon as he went out, Xie Yichan breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Sir, how is it?"
"It's okay." Lu Chen said and planned to walk out.
"Is everything okay?" Xie Yichan was confused.
Fire Blade Wolf didn't know what was going on, but he didn't ask any more questions and just followed silently.
After Xie Yichan saw Lu Chen said it was okay and left, he asked with curiosity on his face, "Sir, what are we doing here?"
"Go find that secret monster's lair." Lu Chen's words almost frightened Xie Yichan.
Xie Yichan's face was pale and he stuttered, "O-lao?"
"Well, do you have a question?" Lu Chen asked back.
Xie Yichan's face was solemn, "Sir, you have also seen that secret monster. He is very scary, but now you are going to his lair, isn't it?"
"I'm worried that I can't find him. If he appears, I will discuss with him." Lu Chen said without taking it seriously.
But Xie Yichan stared at Lu Chen like a monster.
Lu Chen ignored it and continued walking on his own.
Xie Yichan had no choice but to follow silently.
...
After about a while, the road the three of them were walking gradually became cold, and there was a thick layer of ice on the walls everywhere.
Xie Yichan said in horror, "This is the cold area of the secret realm."
"Cold zone?"
"Yes, there are many areas in the secret realm, and one of them is called the cold area. Because it is very cold everywhere, many people cannot walk too far, because the cold air will consume a lot of spiritual energy." Xie Yichan started to tremble.
But in order to maintain body heat, Xie Yichan frantically consumed the spiritual energy in his body.
Not only Xie Yichan, but also Huodaolang.
But Lu Chen seemed to be fine.
This made Xie Yichan confused and said, "Sir, why are you okay?"
Lu Chen has nine fires in his body, which can provide him with strength at any time. Naturally, he will be fine at all. What's more, the cold air can be absorbed by the "Wanling Technique" and converted into spiritual energy, so there is no need to consume anything at all.
So Lu Chen replied calmly, "This is nothing to me."
"Nothing?" Xie Yichan stared at Lu Chen like a monster.
Lu Chen looked at the two of them and said, "Let's go."
The two of them quickly followed.
But within a quarter of an hour of walking, Xie Yichan was out of breath, and he also took a lot of pills to replenish his spiritual energy, but as soon as the pills were taken, they were completely consumed.
Not only him, but also the Fire Saber Wolf.
"Sir, sir, I, I can't do it anymore." Xie Yichan said depressedly,
The Fire Saber Wolf held on.
After Lu Chen thought for a while, he took out two spiritual stones and carved some runes on them.
After about a while, he distributed the two spiritual stones to the two of them, "Take them with you to protect you from the cold."
"Warm against the cold?" Xie Yichan was dubious, so he took it over and injected spiritual energy into it. He could feel the coldness disappearing in an instant.
This made Xie Yichan startled, "Sir, what is this?"
"The cold talisman can resist the cold, but the cold is too strong. Such a spiritual stone will probably absorb too much cold after a while and eventually turn into an ice stone." Lu Chen pointed at the spiritual stone and said.
Xie Yichan was shocked, "Sir, you are really powerful. Just by making a rune, you can make the spirit stone look different."
Lu Chen smiled and said nothing, and then continued to move forward.
As for Xie Yichan, after he had this spiritual stone, he felt a hundred times more energetic and even walked with extra energy.
But after walking for a while, he saw the white mist ahead and an ice palace looming there. Xie Yichan began to worry again, "Sir, this, isn't it the old nest?"
"Yes, that secret monster's lair."
Xie Yichan began to worry, "If he can live in such a cold place, then his strength must be extraordinary."
Lu Chen smiled confidently, "No matter how ordinary or not, I will defeat him."
"Fight, defeat?" Xie Yichan was shocked by Lu Chen's tone.
Lu Chen didn't explain much, but continued to move forward.
The palace they saw through the mist was actually very far away, because it took them another half an hour to reach the ice palace.
Not only that, a cold air blew from the front of the Ice Palace, and even Xie Yichan, who had the cold-protecting talisman, shivered, as if his whole body had just been blown by some wind.
So Xie Yichan was startled and said, "Sir, this wind is so scary."
The Fire Saber Wolf also frowned, obviously he was also worried.
Lu Chen comforted them, "It's okay, let's go."
Xie Yichan had no choice but to tremble and follow.
I saw that the door of the ice palace was open, and at first glance, it was dark.
At the same time, the visible range of sight is only about ten steps away, and beyond ten steps, there is a vast white fog that is impossible to see through.
Therefore, after the three of them entered, Xie Yichan was confused, "Sir, where are we going now?"
Lu Chen recalled the image of the old tree to him and said, "This palace has three floors, and what I want to go to is the second floor, where the fruits are stored."
"Second layer? Fruit?" Xie Yichan didn't understand what fruit it was.
Lu Chen said as he walked, "The fruits that are more than 100,000 years old are all on this second floor, and they are well preserved."
Xie Yichan was startled, "Did Ling Jianyu tell you?"
"no!"
Xie Yichan was confused, "No? That is?"
"That old tree." Lu Chen replied.
"Old tree?" Xie Yichan felt incredible, while Lu Chen easily found the stairs and walked up.
But the sound of the stairs felt strange, especially after walking a certain distance, Xie Yichan said nervously, "Sir, why do I feel the footsteps of four people!"
Lu Chen stopped, Xie Yichan and Huodaolang also stopped, and the sound of the other footsteps also disappeared.
But Xie Yichan affirmed, "Sir, I'm not lying. There really were footsteps of a fourth person just now."
