There are towering golden trees everywhere in the Devouring Swamp.
Through the conversation between Niu Lao Mo's jade slip and Qi Sha Zi, Lu Kun knew that this tree was called the Golden Demon Tree, which had never appeared in the outside world and was a unique plant in the Demon Devouring Swamp.
The magic cultivator who recorded this jade slip also cut down some branches of the Golden Demon Tree to study, but to the demon cultivator, the Golden Demon Tree seemed to have little value.
It can neither refine weapons, nor does it contain much demonic energy, nor can it refine elixirs.
Somewhere in the Devouring Swamp, on such a seemingly useless Golden Demon Tree, all the branches and the raised parts of the trunk were covered with fist-sized bees. On this tree, there were enough
Thousands of bees.
Except for their larger size, these huge bees are no different from ordinary bees in other parts. Even the color of their skin is yellow and black, making them look very ordinary.
But if you observe carefully, you will find that deep in the black compound eyes of this swarm of bees, there is occasionally a trace of blood-red light flashing, and there is a faint hint of crazy bloodthirsty.
This is the terrifying creature in the Demon-Eating Swamp that many other demon cultivators fear, the Demon-Eating Bee.
The bark covered by these demon-devouring bees has a lot of dark black liquid secretions, which seep out from the golden bark. It is the gum produced by the golden demon tree itself.
All Demon-eating Bees are collecting these dark black gums. In addition to sucking them into their mouths with their jaw teeth, they also store the gum through the grooves on the back ends of several legs.
Thousands of Demon Devouring Bees collected it very quickly. They collected the Golden Demon Gum in just one cup of tea, and then flew to the next tree.
Dozens of feet away from this group of demon-devouring bees, Lu Kun and the little monkey were in a state of invisibility, observing the movements of the demon-devouring bees.
"This is already the third tree. If these little guys collect another tree, they should go back."
Lu Kun relied on the strength of his body to move around in the swamp at extremely high speeds. Under the guidance of the little monkey, he ran for half an hour and went deep into the swamp before he found a swarm of demon-devouring bees.
According to Xiao Jin, he had already left the Qishazi behind. The seven seemed to be afraid of the magic power appearing and did not dare to fly fast, so they moved forward slowly.
After finding the Demon-eating Bee, Lu Kun and the others watched secretly.
Seeing such a scene, he was a little surprised. It was hard for him to imagine that the terrifying demon-devouring bees described in the jade slip actually collected gum like ordinary bees.
Lu Kun was looking forward to what these little bees would become after the magic aura appeared. Of course, this would have to wait until Qishazi came over.
"The Demon-eating Bee is sensitive to magical energy. Xiao Jin, please go into the spirit beast bag first and help me pay attention to Qishazi's movements."
"I will follow these little bees first and find their nest."
Hearing Lu Kun's voice transmission, Xiao Jin nodded obediently, turned into a ray of light, and disappeared into the spirit beast bag.
Although it practices physical training and concentrates all the magic power in its body, it will inevitably be discovered by these demon-devouring bees at close range.
As for Lu Kun himself, the bones of his body are filled with thunder-attribute magic power, and the blood magic power is crystallized deep in his bones, making it impossible for those demon-devouring bees to detect him.
Another tea time passed, and the Demon-eating Bee was filled with gum and flew towards the depths of the swamp.
Lu Kun added a top-level invisibility skill to his body, stepped on the branches and trunks of the Golden Demon Tree, and followed behind him with great ease.
"These little bees have collected gum. It seems that what's in the nest is not royal honey but royal glue." Lu Kun thought curiously and followed the Demon-Eating Bee.
As the swamp deepened, other swarms of demon-devouring bees gradually returned and joined the team. They all seemed to be out collecting golden magic gum.
After careful observation along the way, Lu Kun discovered some differences in the Demon-Eating Bee. When he first saw the Demon-Eating Bee, he didn't find any energy aura in its body.
After constant observation with his golden eyes, he discovered that each demon-devouring bee has a unique energy in its body, which is somewhat similar to magic power, but not exactly the same. I wonder if it is his illusion.
There are also similarities with the power of coldness.
Each one has very little special energy in its body. The total number of about a dozen Demon-eating Bees is barely the same as a first-level Warcraft.
Moreover, Lu Kun also discovered a strange thing, that is, occasionally a few demon-devouring bees bumped into Lu Kun's invisible body, but they seemed to have no reaction and continued flying after shaking their heads.
Such a phenomenon shows that these demon-devouring bees have extremely low intelligence and are completely different from the molten crocodiles they encountered before. Therefore, in the end, Lu Kun only maintained his invisibility and did not deliberately avoid these bees.
…
Just like this, after going dozens of miles deeper, Lu Kun's eyes suddenly opened up. The originally dense Golden Demon Tree suddenly became much sparser.
The most eye-catching thing in front was a huge golden demon tree that towered into the sky. From his visual inspection, the diameter of its trunk was twenty feet, and strong demonic aura emanated from the tree.
"Hey, is this the deepest part of the swamp that Qi Shazi is looking for?"
Lu Kun's eyes were filled with golden light. From a distance of about two hundred feet, he could clearly see countless golden and thick tree roots at the bottom of the giant golden devil tree. These roots were intertwined to form a huge tree hole.
From the gap between the tree roots, you can see the silver-gray light curtain inside and the purple-black True Demonic Qi. Obviously, there is the same True Demonic Pool and pure True Demonic Water inside as the Molten Cave.
Then Lu Kun looked around again. Outside the giant golden demon tree, there was a circular swamp pool with various corrosive auras rolling inside. There were even many skeletons and limbs of monster beasts inside.
Outside the circular pond, there are four Golden Demon Trees evenly distributed. Although these four trees are smaller than the one in the center, they are also much larger than the ordinary Golden Demon Tree.
There was also a small tree hole at the bottom of these four golden demon trees. The group of demon-devouring bees he was following flew into one of the tree holes.
The four tree holes seemed to be the entrances to the nests of Demon-Eating Bees. Demon-Eating Bees kept flying back from all directions, but none of them entered these tree holes.
"Four medium-sized trees surround a giant tree, surrounded by the nests of demon-devouring bees. The giant golden demon tree in the middle contains the water from the True Demon Pond. This arrangement seems a bit familiar."
With this thought flashing through Lu Kun's mind, he quickly walked towards the tree hole next to him. Along with many demon-devouring bees who had returned to their nests, they walked in. Inside was a hole leading to the ground.
Without any hesitation, he jumped directly. After falling for more than ten feet, a passage appeared in front of him.
This underground passage can fully accommodate two people, and it is filled with moist and pure demonic energy. However, under the influence of many demon-devouring bees, Lu Kun seemed to feel the breath of another kind of energy.
The walls of the passage were covered with the uneven roots of the Golden Demon Tree, mixed with the smelly black soil.
This passage has no branches and points directly to the location of the giant golden magic tree.
As Lu Kun advanced, a dark golden halo gradually appeared in front of him, illuminating the dark passage. A hundred feet away, a huge space appeared in front of him.
This is a huge circular cave with a radius of 100 feet. The air of the cave is filled with densely packed demon-devouring bees, at least hundreds of thousands in number. The buzzing sound of their wings and the dazzling black spots make people feel a kind of
Intensive fear.
In the middle of the circular cave, there are four thick golden tree roots intertwined to form a three-foot-thick pillar, which leads directly to the top of the cave. On this tree root pillar, dozens of dark golden tree roots are hung.
The round cake has a strange smell permeating from the top.
At this moment, waves of throbbing came from one of Lu Kun's spirit beast bags.
