The deepest part of the cave is a rather open cave hall. The surrounding rock walls are covered with dots of green fluorescence, illuminating everything in the cave.
In the center of the cave hall, next to a bottomless pool of water, there are two behemoths as big as an attic lying on the left and right. The two are no more than ten feet apart.
The two giant beasts both have lion-like heads and red hair, but they have a human face and a scorpion tail that is two or three feet long. They are lying powerlessly aside.
Upon closer inspection, it can be seen that there are wounds on the bodies of these two giant beasts. The blood is not obvious mixed in the red hair and has gradually dried up. In addition, a large gash was cut on the heads of the two giant beasts.
The demon core inside has been removed.
Around the corpses of the two giant beasts, three young men were standing or standing. There were also some blood stains on their bodies. It was unclear whether it was their own or left by the giant beast in front of them.
"Finally, this scorpion lion lair has been cleared. In the following days, as long as nothing happens, the three of us will be able to join the Qinglan Holy Land at the same time." A man wearing a white robe squatting on the ground said,
The man with light blue skin said this.
"Fellow Daoist Qiu is wrong. As far as I know, there are far more people participating in the trial this time than in the past. There are many talented disciples from major families. If we don't pay close attention, we may not be able to rank among the top 100.
Ranked eight." Another man from the demon tribe standing with his hands behind his back and half of his body said.
"Don't just talk about it. These two scorpion lion kings are full of treasures. If you don't care, I will take them all away!" The last person is a short and fat man, but he has four arms. He is getting closer at the moment.
The giant beast on the left is tumbling in front of him.
"Hmph, as long as you can join the Qinglan Holy Land, these materials don't matter!" the man in the white robe and green skin said, but he still stood up and walked towards the giant beast on the right.
Just when he walked in front of the giant beast, the giant beast's huge body suddenly moved.
"What's going on? Is this Scorpion Lion King still alive?" The blue-skinned man in white robes looked shocked. With a flick of his hands, two strange-shaped weapons curved like snakes appeared. He stood still with a vigilant look on his face.
in its original place.
"Are you dazzled?" The big demon clan man curled his lips in disdain, swayed, and appeared in front of the giant beast on the right, about to squat down to check.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
There was a muffled sound of "boom"!
Then the giant beast on the ground opened a big hole with a "pop", and a huge brown root that was full of spiritual patterns and green moss sprang out from it, and rolled towards the monster man like lightning.
"What the hell!"
The monster man's reaction was also very fast. His two arms suddenly blurred and turned into a pair of giant claws. With a slight shake, dense silver lightning emerged from between the pincers and shot towards the huge brown roots.
At the same time, red light circulated around its body, and a pair of tough red armor emerged on its surface, with faint lightning on its surface.
Loud thunder!
A large piece of silver lightning fell on the huge brown root, bursting out into balls of dazzling lightning, wrapping the entire brown root, causing it to freeze in mid-air and unable to fall.
However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, there was a bang behind him, and the ground exploded, and another huge brown root sprang out from it, binding the monster man's body like lightning.
The seemingly tough red pointed armor of the demon burly man burst like paper the moment the roots reached his body. Then the roots were tightened, and the spiritual patterns on the surface flashed wildly, and the demon burly man's body suddenly changed.
His body became abnormally shriveled, and Jing was sucked out of all his essence and blood in an instant, and he didn't even have time to let out a scream.
From the moment the monster man fell to the ground to the moment he was attacked by two roots and sucked out his blood essence and blood, it only took one or two breaths, which made the white-robed and green-skinned man a little dazed for a moment.
At this moment, a shrill scream came from behind him.
The green-skinned man suddenly looked back and saw a scene that made him terrified!
The four-armed fat man who had been squatting on the ground to dismember the giant beast was now tied up by two huge brown roots and held high, leaving only half of his head exposed.
Whoop!
The two brown roots were released at once, and a short figure with a shriveled shape like a skeleton fell from mid-air. It was the fat man with four arms from before.
Suddenly, in the blink of an eye, his essence and blood were sucked dry by the sudden and strange roots, and he could no longer die.
"Whoosh" and "whoosh" sounded through the air!
However, the two roots that had attacked the demon clan man before swept over and attacked him up and down.
The green-skinned man turned pale with fright, and the strange-shaped weapons in his hands flashed wildly, with shocking blade rays, and rolled away at the two roots menacingly.
Rush towards the cave entrance.
There was a sound like rain hitting banana trees!
The seemingly menacing blade slashed at the two thick roots, and the light flashed continuously, but only left a series of shallow knife marks, but it did make the two stay in mid-air for a moment.
The man in the white robe and green skin took this opportunity, and with his body like lightning, he rushed to a few feet away from the cave entrance, holding the Shuitian Jade Pendant in his hand as he ran.
It seems that if you work harder, you can leave the cave.
At this moment, the rock wall at the entrance of the cave suddenly shattered, and two thick roots emerged from it, coiling up and down like a python.
At the same time, there was a loud sound in the air behind him, and the five roots from before attacked at the same time.
The green-skinned man gritted his teeth and crushed the Shuitian Jade Pendant in his hand.
A strange scene happened!
The jade pendant exploded, emitting water that filled the sky, but it did not wrap around his figure and send him away. Instead, he was pulled down by a strange suction force and sucked into it by the two roots at the entrance of the hole.
The man suddenly looked desperate.
…
Somewhere in Manggu Forest.
Above the towering ancient trees, seven or eight demon youths of different heights and looks were using their own methods to fly through the air, speeding in one direction.
These people all had panic expressions on their faces, their bodies glowed brightly, and they desperately tried to activate the escape light.
Behind them, more than a dozen thick brown roots that could cover half of the sky were chasing after them at an astonishing speed.
From time to time, the slowest one would be caught up by one or several thick roots. When rolled up, the body would quickly shrive up and fall down.
And if someone hesitates for a moment and then crushes the Shuitian Jade Pendant in an attempt to teleport out of the secret realm, not only will the released water light be mysteriously sucked away by the roots behind, but because of this moment of delay, the roots behind him will immediately catch up and strangle him.
on the spot.
…
A low-lying mountainous area thousands of miles away from the center of the secret realm.
"Bang" sound!
A huge object that was seven or eight feet in size fell heavily to the ground, sending smoke and dust everywhere.
The smoke quickly dissipated, revealing what was inside.
But it was a giant beast with rough skin like a rock, bound by several thick brown roots, and very close to it, there was another one who was also bound by brown roots for almost half of its body.
Humanoid creature.
Although the two were tied up airtight, they were still struggling hard.
However, as the spiritual patterns on the surface of the roots flashed, the giant beasts and humanoid creatures shriveled up and shrunk at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye they lost all their vitality.
The roots that had sucked up the essence and blood were loosened, and the spiritual patterns on the surface flashed, and the aura emitted became stronger and stronger, and then like earthworms, they burrowed into the ground one after another without leaving a trace.
…
The same thing happened at the same time almost thousands of miles away in the center of the secret realm.
Almost instantly, thousands of trial disciples were strangled by mysterious roots that suddenly appeared, and had their blood and essence drained from their bodies.
…
Deep in the Manggu Forest, a human youth with an elegant face and sideburns was walking slowly through the forest.
Suddenly, with a tap of his toes, his body suddenly rose three feet taller.
Just as his figure left the ground, the ground below suddenly cracked open, and a brown shadow suddenly jumped out and flew into the air.
The elegant young man was in mid-air, and when he quickly glanced down, he discovered that it was an extremely thick brown root extending from the ground, twisting like a giant python.
The elegant young man held his hand in the air, and a blue long sword appeared out of thin air in his hand, and at the same time, a blue sword light extended from the sword body.
Then he leaned down and rushed down. With a wave of one hand, a blue sword light about ten feet long slashed towards the huge root.
A "pop" sound!
There was a flash of blue light, and the huge root was split in two from the middle.
However, those two roots seemed to be able to survive on their own, twisting their bodies and rushing towards the elegant young man who had barely landed on the ground.
At the same time, two cracks opened again on the ground behind the elegant young man. Two thick brown roots sprang out from them, one from the left and one from the right. They surrounded each other from both sides. Together with the two previous roots, they
The elegant young people gathered around.
The expression on the elegant young man's face did not change at all, and he stood straight up from the ground, rushed into the air, and escaped from the surrounding of such strange roots.
And after the four roots were encircled and missed in one blow, they also twisted and rose into the sky, rushing towards the elegant young man, and intertwined into a large net in mid-air, trying to trap the elegant young man in it from the bottom up.
.
The elegant young man raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth and suddenly uttered the word "ding".
His eyes flashed with blue light, and with it as the center, a burst of spatial fluctuations suddenly appeared in the surrounding void.
The next moment, the mountain wind in the forest seemed to have stopped. Several fallen leaves were floating in the air, hovering motionless, and the large net wrapped with four roots also stopped twisting and settled in mid-air.
.
It seemed that time within a radius suddenly stopped at this moment!
The blue long sword in the hand of the elegant young man suddenly came out, and the big net made of roots flashed wildly, like a blue sword lotus blooming, and then turned into the reflection of a blue long sword again.
And back.
The whole process went smoothly and took less than two breaths.
When he held the blue long sword in his hand again, the large net transformed by the originally motionless roots began to twist again, but then suddenly broke into countless pieces, fell from the mid-air, and turned into
Lifeless ordinary roots.
The strange thing is that after death, this kind of root-like monster does not seem to have a demon core in its body.
Seeing this, the elegant young man smiled slightly, and then with a flash of his body, he disappeared into the distance, leaving a loud laugh in the air:
"Tree Spirit King, very good! I have waited more than ten years in vain. This time I finally waited for you to fully awaken. In this case, haha..."
