The Dead Tree Spirit sighed, "I have been rampant in this sea for more than a thousand years, but I didn't expect to be planted today! The mobile phone has no ads, and it saves the most data. ”

When Zhong Ling heard him say this, he immediately took the opportunity to ask, "You said that the massive ghosts that covered the sky and the sun just now were all cultivated by you?"

The drywood could have disagreed, but it wasn't going to do so, so it bluntly said, "Yes." ”

Zhong Ling was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "How did you gather such a large number of ghosts? Is this unreasonable! Could it be that in the past thousand years, you have killed more than 100,000 people on this island? You have collected all their souls?"

The branches on the dead drying's body shook for a while, and he explained, "No, I have indeed killed many people in the past thousand years, but I can't reach that much. And as a Taoist priest, you should know that although the life span of the soul is very long, it is not unlimited, so it is impossible to accumulate such a terrifying number of souls by killing people and searching for souls. ”

The withered tree spirit is right, once the human body dies and the soul leaves the body, if you don't report to the underworld, then you can drift away in this world for a long, long time. However, this time limit is not infinite, ordinary souls, if they do not have any mana cultivation, and do not take other measures to replenish them, then they will naturally dissipate after wandering for more than ten or twenty years, and their souls will be scattered and disappear in this world forever.

If you practice ghost arts, use the qi of heaven and earth as a tonic, or rely on inhaling human yang qi to nourish, you can survive for a much longer time, and three or five hundred years is not a problem.

Once it has existed for more than 500 years, it will begin to be tolerated by heaven, and a heavenly curse will automatically descend from heaven and shatter this soul. At this time, it is basically a desperate situation for ghosts.

However, there are exceptions, that is, those ghosts who have cultivated their mana to a very high level, they can test their own strength, or add some auxiliary means to resist the thunder. After the tribulation, you can continue to live in the world.

Xiao Linglong is a ghost who has survived a catastrophe.

But then there will be a second, a third Tribulation, each more powerful than the last.

Generally speaking, the first catastrophe is difficult to resist, and most of the ghosts can't resist it and die under the thunder. But compared to the second and third tribulations, it was much easier. There are a few ghosts who have escaped the first catastrophe, but very few can carry the second and third catastrophes.

Therefore, if the withered tree spirit is relying on the souls accumulated over the past thousand years, then these hundreds of thousands of ghosts are all powerful ghost cultivators, and I am afraid that none of them can carry the thunder. In other words, almost no ghost has survived for 500 years. Therefore, the withered tree spirits can accumulate the souls of the last five hundred years at most, and those first souls must have dissipated.

Zhong Ling hurriedly asked, "Then how did you manage to accumulate so many souls?"

The withered tree spirit seemed very honest, and 1510 replied, "Because I have the ability to conceive souls! No, I should say that I have the ability to give birth to new souls between male and female souls!"

Zhong Ling was taken aback when he heard this idea, and said, "What do you say? You can make two souls produce the next generation, just like a living child is born?"

The drywood "nodded" and admitted, "Well, that's probably what it means. So that's why I can manipulate so many souls at the same time. Because most of them were conceived by me. I just used a small number of human souls, and then slowly gave birth to such a large number of soul groups. ”

Zhong Ling questioned in his heart: "Since you said that those souls were conceived by you, but when I fought just now, I didn't find the soul of the 'child'?"

"The way to conceive a soul is not the same as to conceive a child, not to go through the age of infancy, childhood, but to directly conceive an embryo, and then this embryo slowly grows up, takes shape, and when it is completely mature, it is already a mature and usable soul." ”

Zhong Ling was amazed in his heart, even he had heard of these views for the first time, and then asked, "Then I haven't seen your so-called embryo either?"

The withered tree spirit said: "Those embryos are all in my body, in fact, don't look at me as a dead tree, there is a large independent space in my belly, and thousands of embryos are pregnant in it." ”

Zhong Ling nodded silently, knowing that in the trunk of this dead tree spirit, the so-called independent space was an independent small world similar to his Heavenly Book World!

Zhong Ling was secretly surprised, this goblin was really strange, he had never seen it before, and he had never heard of it.

There were countless questions in his heart that he wanted to ask him, so he continued to ask, "Dry Tree Spirit, what are you from? You said that you have existed for at least two thousand years, so how deep is your mana cultivation?"

The Dead Tree Spirit replied honestly, "My name is the Soul Dream Tree, and it is a type of plant-based goblin. My mana is deep, but I don't know how deep it is. It's just that these mana of mine can't be used for any attacks, but can only be used to defend and protect myself. That's why no matter how much you did to me just now, you couldn't shake me in the slightest. I can say that even if your attack power is ten or a hundred times stronger, it won't hurt me. I'm like the queen bee of a swarm's hive, and I can only attack by manipulating those souls that have been cultivated below me. ”

After the withered tree spirit finished speaking, he continued to sigh: "My defense is so strong, so strong that I thought that no one in this world could destroy me, but I didn't expect that little girl next to you made me feel extreme fear from the depths of my soul. I was acutely aware that that little girl was absolutely capable of destroying me. ”

Little Nine-Tails looked at the big tree spirit, smacked his mouth, and didn't say anything.

After listening to the withered tree spirit's words, Zhong Ling thought a lot.

In the end, he concluded: "In view of the fact that you have been on this isolated island for more than a thousand years and have killed an unknown number of human beings passing by here, as a Taoist priest, I can't let you continue to exist on this island and let you kill more people in the future!

After Zhong Ling finished speaking, he reminded and added: "If you don't agree, then I'm sorry, I can only order my daughter to destroy you." ”

The reason why Zhong Ling wanted to get the dead tree spirit into his Heavenly Book World was naturally due to his considerations. Now it's up to the dryest tree spirit to go in and see if he's willing to go in.
