Silently, the branches gathered together launched an attack on Zi Chen and the others.
This dense forest is very mysterious and can suppress spiritual senses.
Otherwise, at such a distance, Zi Chen's keen sense would definitely be able to detect it.
Zi Chen didn't notice at all. As for Wu Xie, let alone Wu Xie, his expression looked very excited. He was obviously thinking about the Phoenix, and maybe he could get the inheritance of immortality because of it. He was so distracted that he naturally felt nothing. Less than.
With his keen sense, Zi Chen sensed something unusual and turned around instantly. The scabbard appeared in his hand.
After turning around, he saw a back figure, that was Shangguan Hong's back.
At this moment, Shangguan Hong's whole body is exuding bright green light, and the green light is full of vitality.
She raised her hand and stretched it forward, her palm filled with green spiritual energy.
In front of this spiritual power are large branches, which are squirming like spiritual snakes.
"Go, what is this?" Wu Xie, who then turned around, was also shocked when he saw this scene.
If Shangguan Hong hadn't been present, the two of them would have been under siege.
The wriggling branches are also glowing and look very resilient. Once surrounded, even if they are not life-threatening, they are still very troublesome.
Then Wu Xie looked up and saw the ancient trees with their eyes open.
"Trees can also become spirits." Wu Xie's expression changed and he was very surprised. This was the first time he had seen a big tree turn into spirits.
"This dense forest is very strange. All the ancient trees in it have opened up their spiritual intelligence and have some means. They are not powerful alone, but once they are besieged, they will be very troublesome." Shangguanhong's body was surrounded by green light, and these The green light passes through these branches and extends towards the main body.
The green light gradually filled the entire ancient tree, gradually surrounding them, and the indifferent eyes that opened on the ancient tree gradually took on a comfortable look, and then they closed their eyes.
And as these eyes are closed, the extending branches and leaves also automatically retract.
"I sensed something strange here before and thought there would be tree demons inside, but I didn't expect that all these ancient trees have turned into demons." Shangguanhong said after taking back the green light.
"What should we do now? Are we going to go deeper like this little by little?" Wu Xie seemed a little anxious, because there was still fighting in the depths. If the higher beings had eliminated the phoenix early, they would have gained nothing.
"I'll give you a beam of energy that should be able to evade the perception of these tree spirits."
Shangguan Hong shook her hands and lit two green lights, which looked like the green light seeds she often used.
The expressions of Zi Chen and Wu Xie also changed subconsciously. This was obviously due to conditioned reflex. Seeing the green light, the two of them couldn't help but think of Shangguan Hong's methods to get those human monks who turned into big trees.
The green light spots spread and formed a light mask, covering the two people.
After that, Shangguanhong led the way and the two of them followed.
Along the way, the ancient trees no longer opened their eyes and their branches no longer spread. This move successfully avoided the tree spirit.
Next, the three of them moved forward faster and smoothly.
"Boom." "Boom."......
The ground roared and the battle continued. Many ancient trees left their original area and slowly moved deeper.
"The tree spirits here are actually moving deeper. Could it be that there is a tree king-level existence there?" Shangguan Hong's expression became a little unnatural.
If there really is a tree king, then the traces of the three people should have been discovered long ago. This green light can avoid the tree spirit, but it cannot avoid the tree king's perception.
But the tree king did not signal these tree spirits to attack, presumably because he didn't care.
"Be careful, I suspect there is a tree king here." Shangguanhong's expression became solemn, and there was a hint of vigilance in his beautiful eyes as he whispered.
"What do you mean?" Wu Xie was puzzled.
"In addition to the phoenix, there may be a tree king. That should be the reason why those higher beings haven't succeeded yet."
Zi Chen once encountered similar tree spirits on the ancient trial road and knew how powerful and terrifying they were, but those tree spirits could not move and were specially used for trials.
The tree spirit here is also used for trials, but it can move. Zi Chen also has the same guess in his heart, and naturally he is also worried.
With the guidance of these ancient trees, Zi Chen and others can reach the battle area quickly.
"boom."
The energy vibrated, large swathes of tree spirits fell, and a strong wave of energy swept toward the three of them.
"Sure enough, there are two big guys." Passing by a tree spirit, the three of them saw the battlefield ahead.
On the battlefield, there is a phoenix. Its whole body is fiery red, like a living thing transformed from a burning flame. With every blow, a large sea of fire will rush out and sweep in all directions.
Around him, there were seven advanced beings. Among these seven, some were fierce and fierce that Zi Chen had seen. The others were unfamiliar, but they were all in the second stage.
At this moment, the seven people were divided into two teams, three of them besieged the phoenix, and the other four launched a powerful attack on the thick ancient tree below the phoenix.
That ancient tree is the thickest in the entire dense forest. Its roots are like horned dragons. Together with the branches that can be extended at will, it can defend against attacks from all sides.
"Uh-huh."
Each root shot out was like a bendable spear, neutralizing the attacks from the four higher beings.
Its eyes were cold and ruthless, but at the next moment, it glanced towards the distance without leaving any trace.
At this time, it happened to be when Zi Chen and others arrived here.
Vibrating sounds continued to be heard, and beside Zi Chen and the others, the tree spirits rushed forward in a completely life-threatening manner.
The seven higher beings would also turn around and attack these tree spirits from time to time.
Dryads are very durable and have strong vitality, so most of these advanced beings attack with the purpose of repelling or flying them away.
"What should we do?" Wu Xie asked from a secret place, watching the battle ahead.
After Zi Chen pondered for a moment, he said: "Don't worry, our goal is to destroy the seven of them. The Phoenix cannot die, and neither can the ancient tree spirit."
A light flashed in Shangguan Hong's beautiful eyes, and he also lowered his voice and said: "Yes, these seven people are really hateful. If we have a chance, we will kill one of them."
Wu Xie had a puzzled look on his face, thinking that we were obviously here to defeat the Phoenix, so why did we kill these seven advanced beings?
But then Wu Xie was relieved. Both sides would be enemies sooner or later. If there was an opportunity to kill them, they naturally could not miss it.
Is this really the reason?
In the distance, the ancient tree king's indifferent eyes changed slightly, but this change passed quickly.
The entanglement of the tree spirits made the higher beings become upset. It seemed that these two guys had no stronger means. After the seven of them looked at each other, they decided to use some powerful means.
For a moment, in addition to the sharp roars, there were also animal roars.
I saw seven advanced beings manifesting their true bodies at the same time. There were seven more beast shadows in the sky, and the beast shadows exuded a heart-stopping aura.
What was violently transformed turned out to be a huge war beast. Zi Chen and the others had never seen this war beast before. It was completely black, with fine scales covering its entire body. It was as big as a mountain, but its eyes radiated with energy. The silver light has two sword-like horns on its forehead, piercing the sky.
"What is that?" It was obviously the first time for the three of them to see this kind of advanced life.
"Uh-huh."
After manifesting his true form, his fierce speed and strength have greatly increased, and his power is comparable to that of the swallowing wolf that transformed into a wolf.
Because there is no difference between the two, one is the Sky Devouring Wolf and the other is the Earth Devouring Beast.
The two are considered old enemies.
The earth-devouring beast rushed towards the ancient tree king, leaving behind a trail of afterimages wherever it passed.
"Puff puff."……
The branches shot out like spears, but all they penetrated were residual shadows.
"boom."
When the Earth-devouring Beast arrived in front of the Ancient Tree King, the two corners of its forehead began to light up, and it struck hard at the Tree King.
"Pfft." "Pfft."
Two rays of light were released from the two corners, and there were two big holes in the Ancient Tree King's body, and green blood flowed out of the big holes.
Of course, the reason why Jin Meng was able to succeed with one strike was not only due to the appearance of his true body, but also the assistance of several other war beasts.
In addition to the earth-devouring beasts transformed by Jin Meng, there are also war beasts transformed by other higher beings, including unknown blue leopards, war beasts with flames all over their bodies, and war beasts similar to the red-eyed pig demon, etc. .
In short, the people present are all advanced beings, and their combat prowess is very strong.
After revealing its true form and trying to contain it, the Phoenix and the Ancient Tree King gradually became invincible.
But those higher beings seemed very cautious and never launched desperate attacks, but only attacked very carefully.
Due to their numbers, the seven advanced beings completely suppressed the Ancient Tree King and the Phoenix. The wounds on their bodies were increasing, and it seemed that death was only a matter of time.
"What should we do?" Wu Xie asked as he looked at the battle that was gradually coming to an end.
"These seven guys are too cunning. They may have discovered us a long time ago, so they are so cautious. If we go up so hastily, the only thing waiting for us is death." Zi Chen sighed, his words full of regret.
"It's a pity that the strength is still too weak. We are human beings and they are advanced beings." Shangguan Hong also looked disappointed.
"Haha, let's die together."
Suddenly, a loud laugh rang out from the front. This laughter came from the Ancient Tree King, and a powerful aura was suddenly released from its body.
This breath began to spread and spread until it reached the end of the dense forest.
The tree spirit that had been rushing forward stopped after sensing this aura and stopped rushing forward. The next moment, a green light point came from the body and floated towards the sky.
Suddenly, in the entire dense forest, green light spots rushed out from all the ancient tree spirits.
The green light spots floating out went towards the Ancient Tree King, and then merged into the Ancient Tree King's body.
The already powerful aura around the Ancient Tree King became stronger and more terrifying.
With the injection of more light points, the Ancient Tree King has an aura of a king who looks down upon the world.
Many advanced beings' expressions changed drastically after feeling this aura.
