The next day, everyone set out on the road again. Under the leadership of Wang Hong, Zhan Chen and the others traveled quickly and avoided many dangers along the way. In the end, it only took them nearly half a month to reach the area where the demon trees thrived.
There were fewer and fewer trees in front of them, replaced by patches of water plants that were taller than people's heads. Under the water plants, there was a trap-like swamp. They entered a large swamp.
At this time, Wang Hong suggested to Zhan Chen: Captain, we must go deep into this swamp to find traces of the demon tree, because the demon trees on the periphery of this place have probably been dug up.
Zhan Chen frowned and said: I didn't expect this demon tree to be so popular.
Of course, you don't know that a Heaven-reaching Divine Ark requires at least a hundred strong Martial Emperors to drive it, so it must be built very big. The amount of demon wood core that needs to be consumed is not just one or two, but a whole
Thousands of dollars, no big family would be able to build such a big ship, and in the city that never sleeps, it is not just the Ning family who is building the Sky-Tong Shenzhou, the City Lord's Mansion and the other three major families are also doing this.
Besides, we are not the only city in the center of Yuanchi that never sleeps. There are also Heiwu City, Wangri City, Yongqing City, and Minghai City. These four cities are not inferior to the Evernight City in size. Among them, there is also the power of the City Lord's Mansion family, and they also want to build Tongtian.
Shenzhou. As a result, the supply of Yaomu Heart Essence exceeds the demand. Basically, those that are easy to collect have been harvested. If we want to gain something, we must try our luck in more inaccessible and dangerous places.
Zhan Chen suddenly realized that this was the case, and sighed: I never thought that our city that never sleeps is not the only place where humans gather.
Wang Hong smiled and said: Captain, it should be said that our Evernight City is the city farthest from the center of Yuanchi. The other four cities are closer to the center of Yuanchi, the environment they face is more dangerous, and the folk customs are more fierce. I visited this place in the morning
Several cities, compared with those cities, our city that never sleeps can simply be said to be a paradise.
Mr. Wang, you still have experience?
Zhan Chen and others continued to go deep into the swamp, but the muddy road caused a lot of trouble for their movements. Even the strong Emperor Wu could not move lightly here.
At this time, the monsters lurking deep in the swamp frequently launched sneak attacks on them. Over the past three days, except for Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru, everyone else had more or less minor injuries on their bodies.
Fortunately, everyone brought a few bottles of healing medicine, so this minor injury would not affect their progress at all.
Huangtian paid off, and on the fourth day, they finally found their target. In the middle of a large empty swamp, there stood a strange giant tree. It was a hundred meters high and had a thick trunk. Even if twenty people hugged each other, it would not work.
It must be surrounded;
And on its trunk, there are hundreds of strong and powerful branches hanging, each root is as thick as the mouth of a basin, and is tens of meters long, like the tentacles of an octopus, hanging softly to the earth;
There is no leaf growing on the branch, instead it grows
There are needle-like thorns all over the tip of the tree, which are its most powerful weapons; the weirdest thing is that there is not a single plant growing around it within a hundred feet.
There are more than a dozen corpses of monsters scattered around,
Some of these corpses have only white bones left, and some still have fur, but it is just fur. Their flesh and blood has been removed by unknown things. Through the fur, the outline of their entire skeleton can be seen.
Nothing left.
Seeing this desolate scene, Zhan Chen couldn't help but frown slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
But Zhou Ziru was more impulsive and wanted to rush over and attack the demon tree, but Wang Hong stopped him and said to him: Vice Captain, please don't get excited. The attack methods of this demon tree are unpredictable.
If you attack rashly, you will definitely be embarrassed or even injured.
Our luck can be said to be very good, but it can also be said to be very bad. This demon tree is the largest one I have ever seen, and the essence of the demon tree contained in it must also be the largest. Even one tree can weigh as much as
It is comparable to three ordinary demon trees, but its attack speed and attack power are also the strongest. I estimate that its power will reach 800,000 kilograms. If it is hit, it will be fatal.
At this time, Zhan Chen nodded and said: Zhou Ziru, we still have to listen to Mr. Wang, he has the most experience. Besides, haven't you seen the jade slips? This demon tree's attack methods are not limited to its long branches.
As soon as he said this, a sixth-level intermediate monster, a mire lizard, happened to swim through the demon tree's sphere of influence. A terrifying scene happened. From the sticky mud, there was a sudden whooshing sound,
A black shadow emerged, as fast as a flying arrow, and shot at it, which was very close at hand.
Because the sneak attack broke out close by, and the speed was so fast that the mire lizard was stabbed and penetrated before it could react, killing him with one blow.
After everyone took a closer look, they discovered that the culprit that killed the monster was actually a long and slender tree root like a bamboo branch. The root penetrated into its body and began to frantically absorb the blood and energy from its body.
After only three minutes, all that was left of the fat mire lizard was its bones and a layer of skin attached to the surface of the bones, which made people's hair stand on end.
Until then, Wang Hong murmured: Have you seen it? This is the terror of the tree demon. If I guessed correctly, with this spiritual tree as the center, within a radius of a hundred feet, its roots are all spread out. As long as any life
If you dare to break in, you will get the same fate as the monster just now.
Then how should we get close to it? Zhou Ziru couldn't help but ask, and then he seemed to have a clear understanding and said: Yes, we can use long-range attacks to destroy it.
He did what he said, he immediately mobilized his true energy, slashed out a sword energy that was more than ten meters high, and roared towards the trunk of the demon tree.
The strange scene appeared again. Wherever the sword energy passed, thousands of tree roots shot out from the swamp and rushed towards the sword energy. The branches that were originally hanging on the demon tree also flew up and drew towards the sword with bared teeth and claws.
After many obstacles, the energy of the sword energy was finally completely exhausted and disappeared in the air. Only the branches and roots flying in the sky were left.
Seeing this scene for the first time, Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru were both so surprised that they opened their mouths wide and could not say a word.
At this time, Wang Hong laughed and said: Hahaha, deputy captain, your method is right, but unfortunately it is impossible to cut down the demon tree with just one blow of yours. This demon tree is very sensitive to threats.
Whether it is approached by a person or a monster, or it is attacked by real energy such as sword energy, it will respond until the threat is completely eradicated.
Therefore, the method we summarized in the past is to use sword energy to attack from a distance, and all ten people are concentrated in one place to attack. In this way, even if they cannot be seriously injured, they can still cut off the root system of the demon tree within a certain range and clear out a path.
A route that can approach its body.
The vitality of the demon tree is very tenacious. Even if part of the roots and branches are cut off, its roots will not be harmed. Only by attacking the trunk that is protected by those branches can we cut off its life.
Ziru, Wang Hong’s method is good, let’s implement it immediately. Zhan Chen said.
Let's attack together and cut off all the branches and vines of that guy. Zhou Ziru said excitedly.
Come together, everyone. When I give the order later, we will focus on attacking the demon tree. Zhan Chensui gives the order to everyone.
After receiving the order, the ten team members began to accumulate true energy at the same time, brewing their most powerful attack. Zhan Chen also poured all his true energy into the Shark Hunting Sword, preparing to use his most powerful attack, the Silent Killing Sword Art.
When his momentum reached its peak, he shouted: Let the Shark Hunting Sword fall from his head, and a huge dark gold sword energy nearly thirty meters high rushed out, with a black-red color spreading around the edges of the sword energy.
The sword light burned like a flame.
At this time, the other team members also used their strongest attacks, ten streaks of colorful sword energy, blasting towards a point on the trunk of the demon tree. Along the way, countless tree roots shot out from under the soil, trying to block
The sword energy moved forward. However, before they could get close, they were broken down by the countless tiny sword rays emitted by the sword energy, and finally dissipated in the air like dust.
It was getting close, the sword energy was about to approach the body of the demon tree. What would be the result? Everyone was watching closely, not daring to express their anger.
The demon tree seemed to feel that it was facing a huge threat, and waved all its branches to form a giant net in front of itself.
There was a loud bang as the sword energy finally hit the giant net, and a violent explosion occurred. Smoke filled the air, and everyone saw that several huge branches were blown into the air and fell to the ground.
Was it successful? Everyone's spirits were lifted. When they looked at the demon tree again, they felt a little disappointed, because they found that most of the branches of the demon tree were still there, and green tender leaves sprouted from the broken branches.
buds and begin to grow at a visible rate.
No, it regenerated again. The experienced Wang Hong called immediately.
Regeneration is another innate magical power of the demon tree. When its branches and roots are damaged to a certain extent, it will use the huge energy stored in the body to quickly grow the lost part of the roots and branches.
Let’s have another round, Zhou Ziru shouted.
But at this time, Zhan Chen shouted: No, we won't be able to remove all those branches in another round, but it will waste the real energy in vain.
After listening to Zhan Chen's words, everyone nodded frequently. The strength of this demonic tree was much stronger than what they had encountered before. Unexpectedly, even the combined efforts of ten Martial Emperors could not break through its defense.
Moreover, the recovery of the demon tree was beyond everyone's imagination. While everyone was talking, the branches that had been broken by the explosion had all recovered, and they were a bit stronger than before. They were waving in the air, as if to fight against the enemy.
Chen and others clamored for demonstrations.
Seeing this, Zhou Ziru said anxiously: Zhan Chen, do you have a better way? This is not a good idea.
Zhan Chen observed the demon tree silently for a while, then turned his head and said to everyone: I have a solution.
What can I do? Everyone is asking urgently.
Later, you launch another round of sword duel attacks to clear the way for me.
And I took the opportunity to rush over and attack its fragile trunk.
No, this is too dangerous. The demonic tree has many branches, and each one has an attack power of nearly 800,000 kilograms. Even a single blow would kill Wang Hong. He couldn't help shouting.
After hearing this, Zhan Chen smiled slightly and said: Don't worry, I know it well.
but
Okay, I'm the captain, obey orders
As soon as these words came out, everyone was speechless, but they all looked at Zhan Chen worriedly. He had not yet reached the Great Perfection of Emperor Wu, and he had to face such a powerful demon tree alone. No matter how you looked at it, he was seeking death.
