The interior of the Red Flame Ancient Tree.

It was a huge space, where the dark green and the blood-like crimson were connected without any gaps, and the hanging vines would suddenly attack, and the dwarf spirits would emerge from the cave walls from time to time.

Ye Shuo didn't know how long he had been walking here, there was a special miasma on all sides, and he couldn't sense the breath of Xuyuan. The only guidepost is only in the far depths, where there is always an energy calling to oneself. After entering the inside of the ancient tree, this feeling became stronger and stronger.

There are many teleportation arrays scattered here, and as soon as you step on it, you will be transported to another dimension, but the scenery in front of you is the same everywhere. If you're not careful, you'll fall into a loop. If Ye Shuo hadn't relied on that vague sense, he might have been lost in this complicated space a long time ago.

In addition, those low-level little devils who were all thick green and looked like a lump of mud should be the spirits born of this Chiyan Ancient Tree on their own, absorbing demonic energy for many years and possessing the ability to act. But they haven't even given birth to the most basic intelligence, that is, they are not really monsters. Ye Shuo killed a few in a row, and there was no existence of the Demon Source Spirit in their bodies.

At the same time, after these little devils are defeated, their bodies will turn into a pool of green water and merge into the interior of the ancient tree, obviously, none of them are really dead, and at some point, they will re-transform in another space. Or rather, they were the ancient tree itself, a part of the space.

After passing through several teleportation arrays in succession, the four sides seemed to open up a bit. Ye Shuo turned around a cave wall, and suddenly heard the sound of spiritual power breaking the wind not far away, which was mixed with the suppressed sobbing sound of the girl. After walking a short distance, I saw seven or eight dark green devils surrounding a figure, the weaker the enemy's momentum, the stronger their strength became, and at this time, it was almost completely suppressed by that figure.

And the one who was forced to the end of the mountain by the low-level devil turned out to be Qiao Xiying, a barbaric girl who had been working against her before this!

Why did she come in too? Ye Shuo's head was so big for a while, he didn't believe that the people of Qianyuan Sect would be so kind to save him. Remembering what others had done before, picking the Chiyan Ancient Fruit had to enter the ancient tree when the blood color of the trunk had dropped to the darkest level, could it be that it was already time now? So how long had I been delayed in the ancient tree? What about Xuyuan now?

These low-level little devils would not have appeared in a swarm originally, but Qiao Xiying's initial battle was unfavorable, and the delay was too long, and the new batch of little devils were constantly refreshed from the cave wall, which caused such a bitter battle situation today.

A few spiritual tricks were released indiscriminately, and Qiao Xiying held a long sword and slashed in all directions. As if she wasn't messy enough, the vines not far away suddenly wriggled, turning into several long snakes that shot at her, spanning several feet in a flash, and firmly entangled her sword. Losing her self-defense weapon, those low-level little devils immediately swarmed up and pounced on her from all directions.

"Don't......" Qiao Xiying wanted to cry without tears. He could only cover his cheek tightly with his remaining arm, unwilling to see the nightmare that followed.

On the other side, Ye Shuo shook his head secretly. is also at the strength level, at the beginning, the Great Elder was the pillar of the entire sect, but she couldn't even beat a few low-level little devils. Even if her strength level is mixed with water, it shouldn't be so weak. Thinking of her usual willful appearance, it seems that it should be caused by relying too much on others.

Maybe a girl who is too weak can indeed arouse a man's desire to protect, but a person like Mo Gucheng should definitely not want to add an extra burden to his side......

Ye Shuo shook his head, he wanted to leave without hesitation, but looking at her appearance, she couldn't save herself, and she had to wait for the next person to teleport here, and she didn't know when. It's enough to see what she's learned, anyway, it's a gesture, so let's help if you can.

When Qiao Xiying was almost desperate, the low-level little devils around her suddenly exploded, the vines loosened, and the long sword returned to her hand. This Qiao Xiying was really like a desperate life, and she looked back in ecstasy, and just wanted to thank her life-saving benefactor. But the joy on her face instantly collapsed after seeing the figure in front of her.

"How...... How could it be you......"

"Otherwise, your brother in the lonely city is not here. Ye Shuo said angrily. Then no longer with her more, turn around and leave.

Before he could get far, there was a sound of clackling footsteps behind him. Qiao Xiying actually chased after him, followed him closely, and when she saw him turn around in confusion, she glared at her eyes again, and confidently declared: "I'm lost!"

Although Ye Shuo wanted to reply to her: "What does it matter to me that you get lost?" After thinking about it, he still didn't have the same knowledge as her, and accelerated his pace.

But after that, he walked fast, Qiao Xiying followed fast, he walked slowly, Qiao Xiying also followed slowly, in short, he followed him. Ye Shuo was secretly helpless, this girl spared no effort when she squeezed herself before, and now she is using herself unambiguously...... Forget it, let her follow.

In Qiao Xiying's self-talking complaints, Ye Shuo also had a general understanding of the changes outside the ancient tree.

After chasing into the ancient tree to save the wall, the ancient tree suddenly went crazy and swallowed all the people outside. Everyone in the ancient tree space was scattered, the jade slip contact could not be used, Qiao Xiying couldn't find Lu Hongyu, so she could only try her luck and collide on all sides.

This Chiyan Ancient Tree, it is not the first time that many sects have explored it, and a group of sect members also carry a map of the inside of the ancient tree. Qianyuanzong and his party, the map was kept by Lu Hongyu this time, and Qiao Xiying didn't even look at it.

In her mind, she can't remember it anyway, so she just needs to follow her brother closely. But she couldn't help but make such a variable, and she was alone, which was the real chaos.

Ye Shuo was helpless when he heard it. Originally, I thought that I still had some advantages, but now it seems that those who have maps have already found the backbone space. As the only two people here who don't have a map, he and Qiao Xiying were able to bump into each other in the process of walking around, which is enough fate.

Qiao Xiying also focused on explaining that she is not weak, but she especially hates those disgusting-looking things. She repeated this passage several times, and she had to force Ye Shuo to repeat it to her sentence by sentence before she gave up.

In the dim space, the bickering between the two has not stopped.

"That ancient tree looks a few feet tall, and there is such a vast space inside......

"Haven't you even heard of the principle of Sumeru mustard space? hillbilly!"

"Yes, yes, only your senior brother in the lonely city is the eldest young master. ”

"You ......"

After another journey, the sense of summoning gradually climbed to the top, and with each step Ye Shuo, he could even feel that the soul in his body was fluctuating violently, which made his breathing unconsciously shortened.

Stepping out of the teleportation array again, the eyes were finally no longer a monotonous narrow passage, but a wide and boxy space. A tall tree stands straight with clusters of ancient fruits hanging from the branches on both sides. The overall appearance is completely consistent with the outside world, like the projection of the Chiyan Ancient Tree inside.

Obviously, this is the final destination, the trunk space.

Sure enough, there was a crowd in front of the tree trunk, but this time they all spontaneously moved the team back, opening an extremely long distance from the tree trunk, and all kinds of spiritual skills were colorful, and they shot down towards the main trunk with a bang.

And these people ...... Ye Shuo's eyes narrowed slightly, and he always felt a lot less than before. There are also maps, and they are swallowed at the same time, haven't the others rushed over?

The demonic aura here is thick, and the original feeling is still very strong, but it has been completely obscured in front of the main trunk. His soul power can't even reach out of his body. For a while, I could only give up the search and go to meet my companions first.

On the periphery of the crowd, Lu Hongyu, Feng Yu and others were also attacking in full swing. Ye Shuo stepped forward with a suspicious hug and asked, "What are they doing?" Isn't it true that as long as the Chiyan Ancient Fruit enters the inside of the ancient tree, it can be picked casually?"

As soon as Lu Hongyu saw him, a complicated color flashed in his eyes, and when he saw Qiao Xiying beside him, he turned into relief. Ying said: "Originally, it was true that it was only necessary to pick it from the inside, but today's Chiyan Ancient Tree seems to be particularly violent for some reason. At the slightest touch, it will swallow people directly, and many people have already been swallowed before. Therefore, everyone could only try to attack the trunk from a distance, hoping to use the vibration to shake the Chiyan Ancient Fruit down from the branches. ”

"What......" Ye Shuo followed his gaze, and sure enough, he saw piles of pupae in front of the main trunk. He hadn't been able to distinguish it when he was blocked by everyone's attacks before, but now that he saw it, it was clearly a group of humans wrapped in tree chrysalis! Those faces were still a little familiar, they were all people from all walks of life who had harbored ghosts in the outside world and coveted the Chiyan Ancient Fruit.

Within a few hours, the muscles on their faces had atrophied deeply, and they looked like they had lost their energy. As for the essence they were absorbed, without thinking about it, they turned into the nourishment of the ancient tree, nourishing the red flame ancient fruit that they had once dreamed of.

It was clear that they were all companions, and no one present even thought about saving them, and the indiscriminate attacks were still scrambling to fall.

Looking into the depths of the chrysalis again, Ye Shuo's pupils suddenly shrank. I saw that Xu Yuan was also wrapped in it, his eyes were closed, and only a layer of dry human skin remained on his face. I think it's because he was absorbed the earliest, and his position at this time is closest to the main trunk, and with the continuous wriggling of the bark, it will not be long before he will be completely integrated into the tree!

Ye Shuo didn't hesitate, jumped up, and was about to rush towards the ancient tree, when Lu Hongyu suddenly dragged him down.

"You can't go over! Every time that ancient tree swallows people, it directly swallows a large number of people, and now you can't save Xuyuan in the past, but if you provoke the ancient tree to riot again, there will be many people who will be swallowed by it!"

"Get out of the way!" Ye Shuo didn't care about the lives of other people. shook off Lu Hongyu fiercely and rushed straight towards the ancient tree. Along the way, some people saw his attempt, grabbed to stop it, and they were all cut to the ground by Ye Shuo in three moves and two moves.

As soon as he jumped onto the main trunk, Ye Shuo raised his hand and grabbed the deepest chrysalis. The drooping filaments are extremely tough, and the spiritual power light blade is constantly cutting, and it can't be cut off. Ye Shuo had no choice but to directly punch and bombard the trunk.

What kind of stimulation did this trunk receive to cause a riot, Ye Shuo didn't know, although he was also confused before, since he couldn't get in touch with him closely, why did that group of people conclude that a long-range attack would be unharmed? But now he can't control so much, there is only one stupid way left in his brain, attack the trunk, and let it spit out the continuation wall!

Lu Hongyu was still worried, and wanted to step forward to stop him, but Qiao Xiying grabbed him.

"Ignore him! This is his own death, and it is not our fault. If he really dies here, Senior Brother Gucheng will definitely be happy to see it!

Lu Hongyu was silent, allowing Qiao Xiying to shake his sleeves vigorously, and his steps really didn't take another step forward.

Maybe it was the sentence "Senior Brother Lonely City will also be happy to see it come true" touched him. If you empathize and others hurt your relatives, even if you are hindered by your identity and it is inconvenient to take action directly, but in your heart, don't you want to see the enemy die?

The attacks of the people present also stopped, and they stepped back vigilantly to prevent the ancient tree from devouring again. But until Ye Shuo successfully rescued Xuyuan, the ancient tree was stunned and didn't move!

"The ancient tree doesn't swallow people?" everyone looked at each other, and soon they all saw the greed that suddenly rose in each other's eyes, "Don't miss the opportunity, grab the Chiyan Ancient Fruit!"

At this time, although everyone was still competing for each other, small-scale conflicts also broke out from time to time. When the ancient fruits of the branches are really plucked, the large-scale battle will officially begin. It is conceivable that there are sects behind those present, and the arrogance brought to them by the sect will never allow them to share the visible treasures equally with others.

Ye Shuo did not participate in the brawl in front of him, and as soon as he saved Xuyuan, he directly avoided a corner of the cave, opened the enchantment, and channeled spiritual power to Xuyuan. It took a long time for Xu Yuan's face to become rosy again. However, the loss of a large amount of essence made him feel as if he had just had a serious illness, and it was obvious that he would not be able to participate in the battle again in a short period of time.

After Ye Shuo confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the continuation of the wall, he left him in the corner to rest, and did not forget to strengthen the enchantment a few more layers before leaving.

At this time, the battle around the Red Flame Ancient Fruit had already reached a fever pitch, with swords colliding on all sides, and blood raining down.

As one of the top forces here, the Qianyuan Sect did not participate in the initial struggle. What they fought was the idea of waiting for work. There were also a few sects with the same mind in the field, but as the battle deepened, these bystanders were about to end in person.

"Brother Ye, how many can you deal with?" Lu Hongyu saw Ye Shuo coming, slanted his gaze, and asked lightly.

The corners of Ye Shuo's mouth slowly lifted a sneer, and his gaze swept over the audience: "You go and pick the Chiyan Ancient Fruit." Leave it to me here. ”

Although he didn't have any intention of being in the limelight, but in front of two people who were waiting to put on his little shoes all the time, if his performance in this mission could not be obvious to all, how could they honestly pay the honorarium?

Hearing Ye Shuo's wild words, not only Lu Hongyu was stunned, but the crowd fighting in the field also stopped for a moment. Several of them had already turned their heads to him and sneered maliciously at him.
