With doubts in mind, Du Yu, led by Qingshi, marched all the way down.
The further down he went, the more joyful the little Burning Yang in his body became.
"It's close."
"A little closer."
"Demon fire, demon fire, Du Yu and I's little demon fire~"
Du Yu: "..."
Xiao Fenyang is not in this state on weekdays.
It was obvious that the demonic fire was very attractive to her, and this little golden crow almost turned into a "little talker".
Du Yu imagined the scene of little Fenyang rubbing his hands, and one emoticon after another appeared in his mind. Is it a bit cute?
He endured it again and again, and finally communicated: "Go to sleep, little Fengyang. There is everything in the dream."
Xiao Fenyang felt embarrassed. In his excitement, he accidentally passed on all his thoughts.
She was a little embarrassed and muttered in a low voice: "I hate you, I'll ignore you."
Then Xiao Fenyang lost his voice, maybe he went to play with Sister Ta.
Du Yu continued to follow Yang Qingqing down, and the 15th floor was unexpectedly quiet. Until the two of them entered the tunnel door again, they were not attacked by monsters.
After walking through this tunnel and exiting the secret door, you will be on the 20th floor underground.
This is the legendary battlefield with real swords and guns!
"Qingshi?" The two of them walked in the passage for a while, and finally a voice came from the end of the tunnel.
Du Yuyun looked forward with great eyesight, but the cold air was lingering here, which really disturbed his vision.
It wasn't until the two of them approached the stone gate that the cold air around them gradually dissipated.
The soldiers guarding the gate naturally saw this scene and couldn't help but be secretly amazed.
The cold mist that filled the tunnel was like hiding from the plague, keeping the master and apprentice as far away as possible, and also made the tunnel clean.
After confirming the identity of master and apprentice again and again, the two soldiers said: "Master Qing, there are many troops on the battlefield performing tasks at this time. Today's passwords are 'Mugong' and 'Shikou'.
If you encounter a soldier verifying your identity information, please be sure to respond immediately to avoid unnecessary trouble."
"Yeah." Yang Qingqing nodded, "We won't go too deep, don't worry."
"Return safely." The soldier said softly and patted the miniature camera on the side of his head.
"Crack!"
There was a soft sound, and the stone door behind the soldier slowly opened.
Du Yu held the Youying torch in his left hand and looked warily in the direction of the stone gate.
I never expected that when the stone door opened, I would see a "corridor of branches" in front of me?
Behind the door is also a tunnel, which is made up of densely packed branches. There are a few scattered leaves hanging in it, all of which are gray.
As the master and apprentice walked in, the cold mist immediately dispersed and fled.
"Ha." Du Yu couldn't help but shudder, and a cold breath hit his face, making people shudder.
"Click!" The stone door behind him slowly closed, and only the master and the apprentice were left in the branch tunnel.
Yang Qingqing raised her hand, pinched a leaf with her long jade fingers, and gently twisted it: "This is the demon plant that came out of the ground. We call it the tree of cold air."
"Has it spread here?" Du Yu's heart sank. This is the 20th floor underground, only about 100 meters above the ground!
Have trees from another world invaded to this extent?
Under the illumination of the headlight, Du Yu carefully looked at the leaves. Apart from the color, there was nothing special about them.
But in contrast to Qingshi's white fingers, the leaves looked even more dirty.
"It has been here a long time ago." Yang Qingqing said lightly, pinching the leaf with two fingers, "Watch it."
Da~
With a soft sound, the dirty gray leaves were picked off.
Suddenly, the tree tunnel trembled!
The tree of cold energy seemed quite dissatisfied with the woman's behavior of removing her own leaves, and the branches were tumbling.
"Oh!" The ground under Du Yu's feet was also made up of branches. Under the agitation of the cold tree, the ground of the branches was like waves, rising and falling.
Yang Qingqing: "Did you find the problem?"
Du Yu looked for the pattern of the ground's ups and downs, and after standing firm, he also noticed the problem!
The cold tree from another world is restricted by another kind of tree!
"This...is this the tree of gods?"
Du Yu was shocked!
If there were no restrictions, the cold tree might be able to suck the people in the tunnel into a pulp!
It cannot run wild as much as it wants because there are branches of another tree that are tightly bound to the branches of the cold tree.
And these dry branches, aren't they the state of existence of the tree of gods?
"Yes, the tree of gods."
Yang Qingqing brushed her fingers across the tree wall: "The reason why the cold tree from the other world failed to poke out of the ground and invade the surface is because the roots of the tree of gods stretched downward and bound it."
Yang Qingqing inserted her fingertips into the tree wall and tore out a pliable gray branch.
Sure enough, there were dry roots tightly wrapped around the gray branches.
"Wherever the cold branches pass, there are trees of gods following them." Yang Qingqing reached forward with her right hand, pushed back the dry roots, and then pinched off the gray branches.
After the gray branches were cut off, they finally lost their "spirituality" and no longer struggled and twisted.
Red flames ignited in the woman's hands, and she rubbed the gray branches into her hands and burned them all.
As she kneaded it in her palms, little bits of ashes fell.
"Huh." Yang Qingqing blew on the palm of her hand, and the branch corridor surged again!
Du Yu could feel that this time there was not only the irritability of the Cold Tree, but also the joy of the Spiritual Tree!
Especially that small piece of dry tree root.
It was originally imprisoned in the gray branches, but now it has some free time to move around. It gently brushed the back of Qingshi's hand, as if to express its gratitude.
Yang Qingqing picked up the dead wood at hand, like threading a needle through a thread, piercing it into the gap in the tree wall, letting it find the next target to be imprisoned.
After doing all this, she looked at Du Yu who was standing blankly and said, "The Daxia Demon Spirit Army is the modern Shenmu Pavilion."
Du Yu: "Well..."
"But we are much worse than the ancients. The ancient Shenmu Pavilion solved the problem from the source and cut off the path of the cold tree from invading the world.
As for us, we can only keep going to the battlefield and clean the branches of the Tree of Cold Air regularly to give the Tree of Spirits a chance to breathe."
Yang Qingqing stepped forward, Du Yu followed closely behind.
There was a hint of helplessness in the woman's voice, as well as a hint of lament: "When the tree of gods is exhausted and can no longer trap the tree of coldness...
That day will be the end of our Great Summer."
Du Yu felt heavy in his heart: "It is only 100 meters away from the ground now."
Yang Qingqing: "It's not as serious as you think. Many years ago, when I first went off the battlefield, I was in this state."
Du Yu felt a little relieved. It would be better if he stayed in this state.
If in recent months, the Cold Tree suddenly rose from the ground to 100 meters above the ground, it would really be over.
While thinking, Du Yu suddenly thought of something: "Why do historians say that the tree of gods abandoned our human race?
The Tree of Spirits is obviously resisting the invasion of foreign species! That’s why it’s too busy to take care of itself and can’t spread its spiritual energy to the world, right?”
Yang Qingqing nodded: "Many people who are new to battlefield information will have this idea, thinking that we have misunderstood the tree of gods.
But in fact, the battle between the Twin Tree Civilization and the Bottomless Pit Civilization existed from the first day of its birth and lasted for 2 to 3 hundred years.
But when the human race and the beast race reached the peak of their strength, and the war between the two sides developed to the point of almost annihilation, the tree of gods suddenly withered.
Judging from the stories that have been pieced together here and there, the Twin Trees may have even cut off one of their arms in order to resolve the endless battle between the human race and the beast race, and then actively withered, thus allowing the bottomless pit civilization to take advantage of it.
but......"
Du Yu: "But what?"
Yang Qingqing led her disciple forward and said softly: "I have always been skeptical of this argument, even if it is the mainstream view.
Ever since you completed the enlightenment ceremony under the tree, received the guidance of the tree of gods, and heard the news about the 'shackles'...
I don’t even believe that the Tree of Spirits has given up on humans on its own initiative.”
Yang Qingqing stopped and stood at the exit of the branch corridor, looking down at the cold air: "I have always believed that during the hundreds of years when humans and beasts destroyed the world, some unknown stories must have happened.
That’s why the twin trees exist today.”
There is another sentence that Yang Qingqing did not say: Maybe one day in the future, you and I can understand the mystery.
Du Yu stood behind his master, looking down.
He could see a faint light, but the cold fog was too thick to see clearly.
"Duyuduyu~"
"Um?"
"Actually, we can see through the fog, right?"
"What?" Du Yu was startled, "Including Han Wu?"
"That's right~ We can see through all the mist that disturbs the vision." Little Fenyang's voice had a unique arrogance, "This is my Fenyang Eye!"
Du Yu hurriedly said: "What should I do?"
Little Fenyang's charming voice became a little disgusted: "I will let you advance quickly and activate the new functions of your eyes as soon as possible. You are so weak now~"
Du Yu: "..."
Xiao Fenyang: "Try it, just for 1 or 2 seconds, I'll help you, don't look at it for too long."
"Okay!" Du Yu suddenly became interested again, "I'll just take a look."
"Concentrate, your eyes will be very hot." Xiao Fenyang's voice became smaller and smaller, more like comforting himself, "Just two seconds, it should be fine."
The next moment, Du Yu only felt that his eyes were getting hotter and hotter, and his eyes were covered with a layer of fiery red.
Du Yu's eyes suddenly widened and he was shocked on the spot!
Shocking!
There are no traces of human construction below, it is all natural landscape, the result of the entangled confrontation between the tree of gods and the tree of cold air.
The first 20 floors of the bottomless pit. How orderly each floor is, but how chaotic the picture below is!
The trees stretched horizontally and vertically in a disorderly manner.
Branches spread all over the place, criss-crossing each other.
Endless trees and vines twist and turn, coiling around strange shapes, the picture is a mess!
Where are there one or two lights below? The densely packed lighting lights are spread all over it, dotted with stars, spreading all the way to deeper places, which also indicates the progress of the demon army's exploration.
With just one glance, Du Yu saw countless wandering monsters...
"Uh." Du Yu hurriedly closed his eyes. In just 2 seconds, he couldn't bear it anymore.
Little Fenyang was a little unhappy: "I didn't see the demon fire... The damn tree blocks my view and will burn them all to you sooner or later!"
"What's wrong with you?" Yang Qingqing turned around slightly and held Du Yu's shoulder with one hand, looking concerned.
"Lu..." A hunting sound suddenly came from outside the branch tunnel.
Yang Qingqing's eyes narrowed, and she pressed her left hand on Du Yu's shoulder, pinched Du Yu's neck, and quickly pulled him back.
At the same time, she swung her right hand forward, and a burning fire vine shot out, piercing the layers of fog.
"Woof! Woof woof!"
A burst of canine roars sounded. Yang Qingqing flipped her wrist, grabbed the flame flower vine, and directly pulled the prey back!
"Lu!" A huge evil spirit dog bit into the rose fire vine and plunged into the corridor of branches.
Its body is in the shape of illusory lines and looks like a bully dog, but it has a strong body like an adult lion.
Yang Qingqing raised her eyebrows slightly, and there was a burst of demonic breath in front of her forehead.
"Woof!" The evil spirit dog's eyes were scarlet and it rushed towards him like crazy.
But unexpectedly, a huge rose figure quietly appeared and blocked the road!
"hiss!"
Countless flame flower vines rolled out from Rose General's body, and in an instant, they wrapped the ferocious evil spirit dog inside.
"Woooo~oooo~!" The evil spirit dog went from roaring loudly to whimpering miserably in just a few seconds.
Yang Qingqing put Du Yu down, ignored the strangled evil spirit dog, and asked with concern: "Du Yu?"
"I'm fine." Du Yu didn't want to lie to Qingshi, but he couldn't explain it, so he could only blame Shadow Gu Tower.
Yang Qingqing frowned slightly and did not choose to delve deeper here.
She looked at the fire-filled tunnel in front of her: "Judging from the size of this evil spirit dog, it should be at the spirit level. You and I don't need to go deep. You will absorb its evil spirit in a while."
"Gudu." Du Yu's Adam's apple squirmed. When he regained his vision, he saw an astonishing scene.
The flame flower vine has become a fireball, trapping the evil spirit dog in it.
Against the background of the fierce firelight, the huge size of the Demon General-level Rose General gave him an endless sense of oppression!
this......
The spiritual creature that Du Yu didn't even dare to touch quickly became silent in the hands of Rose General.
"Come." Yang Qingqing led Du Yu forward. When passing by Rose General, Du Yu was shocked to find that he could only look directly at Rose General's knees...
Xiao Mengnan finally has a rival!
She really should be allowed to see what real long legs are!
The body made of rose stems is particularly realistic.
Du Yu even had the illusion that Rose General's body shape seemed to be simulated according to Yang Qingqing's body shape?
"Summon Shadow Gu Tower."
"Yes!" Du Yu was already very proficient in using the Shadow Gu Tower. As his left chest was empty, he spread out his palm and a beautiful Shadow Gu Tower quietly appeared.
Yang Qingqing ordered: "Give us a gap."
The layers of entangled flower vines slowly squirmed, revealing a slight gap.
Du Yu vigorously activated the demonic energy in his body, and the Shadow Gu Tower buzzed!
"Hiss...wuwu~wuwu!" The extremely miserable whimpering sound made people feel sad.
The illusory demon spirit was forcefully sucked out from the gap in the fire vines! It was struggling crazily, its twisted face still screaming.
After more than ten seconds of tug-of-war, the demon's claws were still close to the door of the Shadow Gu Tower. The pair of beast claws continued to get smaller, and wisps of souls poured into the tower.
Yang Qingqing silently watched the breathtaking scene, and also looked at Du Yu's stiff face.
This scene is indeed a bit scary.
Slowly, all the evil spirits of the evil spirit dogs were sucked into the tower. Du Yu and the Shadow Gu Tower on his palms trembled.
Yang Qingqing held Du Yu's shoulder with one hand, fearing that he would fall to the ground.
But Du Yu's expression was extremely weird. He gritted his teeth, as if he was trying his best to endure something, but couldn't hold it back. He made a comfortable nasal sound: "Hmm~"
Yang Qingqing:???
At this moment, Du Yu wanted to die!
Is this a serious spirit-level monster? This energy is too terrifying...
He held the tower with one hand and covered his face with the other. In a hurry, he coughed crazily: "Cough cough, cough cough! Ah~ cough cough."
