It was as if a red-hot soldering iron was sticking to the skin, and I saw that Zhou Zheng's right hand had just been put on it, and there was a sizzling sound on the child's neck, which made people's scalps tingle. There are even puffs of black smoke, from where the skin of the two people meet, constantly rising, flickering in the air, like ghosts.

And on Zhou Zheng's side, he controlled his true qi wholeheartedly and met the most difficult opponent in his life. The death qi under the control of the Hades Tree seed is much less in number than the Styx Mist on Chinese New Year's Eve. However, the former is controlled by the Hades Tree Seed, while the latter is simply scattered between heaven and earth, and the gap here cannot be made up by quantity.

It's like a fire in the stove, no matter how fierce it is, it can only boil water for cooking. But if someone pulls a burning log out of it, and with a little control, it can burn down a building, a market, or even a village.

Crucially, there is no one better at manipulating the aura of death than the Tree of Hades. This kind of expertise even surpasses the "arm and finger", because the Hades tree is born in the breath of death and feeds on it. Some people even speculate that the Hades Tree is a strange creature that is infinitely gathered by the qi of death and eventually produced.

Once the Hades Tree grows, it is terrifying, and there is almost no one in the entire underworld who can effectively restrain it. Their existence is a huge threat to all creatures in the underworld, and even forced the entire underworld to put aside their grudges and choose to temporarily join forces to commit genocide against them.

Such a creature, rooted in the human body, controls a mass of dead air, and wrestles with Zhou Zheng. And Zhou Zheng not only wants to try to completely eliminate it, but also wants to save the life and health of the parasitic...... It's too hard.

"I have to find the consciousness of the Immortal Tree seed!"

In order to ensure the safety of this child as much as possible, Zhou Zheng abandoned the simple and crude method and did not directly destroy the entire area where the Hades Tree seeds were parasitized. Because once he chooses to do this, the Hades Tree Seed will definitely resist to the death, and the battle for survival driven by the desire to survive will definitely fight until one side runs out of oil.

It's not that this kind of battle will do any harm to Zhou Zheng, after all, Zhou Zheng's true qi reserves, as well as his soul strength, are much higher than the Hades Tree seeds that have not yet germinated. But this kind of immortal battle can completely destroy the battlefield of both sides, that is, the soul and body of the host, then the parasitic child will die.

This kind of ending is something that Zhou Zheng never wants to see, if he is willing to do this, it is better to cut it in two. Therefore, he chose the path that was most dangerous for himself - to separate a wisp of primordial spirit, attach to a trace of true qi, and with the flow of true qi, secretly invade the core area of the Hades Tree seed.

Zhou Zheng wanted to find the unformed true spirit in the seed of the Hades Tree in this way. As long as you can successfully find this true spirit and destroy it with your true qi, then the remaining death qi will become a rootless tree and a sourceless water, which can be easily eliminated.

And fortunately, in this case, Hades Tree's reaction was not too fierce as Zhou Zheng guessed. After all, from the perspective of the Hades Tree seed, Zhou Zheng's true qi was very weak, it was just a disease of ringworm and scabies, which did not hinder its growth and development, and it was not worth spending its precious strength to eliminate.

You know, the more power expended, the longer it will take for the Hades tree seeds to germinate. If the host's life force is drained and it fails to germinate, then it will have to find another way. In fact, the Hades Tree Seed had already felt the harshness of its surroundings - due to the restrictions of the seal of the Pillow Flow Society's cell, it was barely able to absorb the slightest aura or death from the environment, which gave it even more reason to preserve its power.

And this is also what Zhou Zheng likes to see, he was very relieved to be able to deceive the Hades Tree Seed so easily. After this first test, the next step is to make bold assumptions and carefully verify them.

Be bold because the Hades Tree, as a creature of the underworld, lives in the most cruel and unforgiving places in the world, and will naturally ensure its safety as much as possible. Even if it is just a small seed, it has an absolutely strong sense of self-protection. It mixes its own death qi with the host's life qi to create many false targets that resemble true spirits, and hides true spirits in them. The target and the True Spirit will also change positions at any time, and if you are not brave enough, you will definitely not be able to catch it.

Be careful, because if you act too aggressively, or if you mistakenly attack a false target, you will undoubtedly invite the Hades Tree to fight back with all its might. If this is the case...... Zhou Zheng pinned on the weak true qi of the remnant soul, which could not be resisted no matter what. Then the final result is likely to be that Zhou Zheng's soul is damaged and needs to recuperate for a long time, and the child who is the host is drained of vitality and finally dies tragically.

Zhou Zheng's primordial spirit, attached to the true qi, is like a swimming fish, lightly shuttling in the ocean of death qi. He carefully coped with everything around him, trying to avoid contact with excessive dead air currents to avoid being injured by them. But at the same time, paradoxically, he had to swim to the place where the breath of death was strongest.

It wasn't an easy spring outing, and after successfully seeing through the camouflage of the target several times, Zhou Zheng became more and more tired, but also more and more experienced.

"I can, I'll find my real purpose soon!"

Zhou Zheng encouraged himself in this way, and perhaps it was the great faith that worked, and after once again dodging the large mass of dead air, he felt an aura that he had never felt before.

It was an impossibly condensed mass of dead air, exuding a beautiful pale green. But if you look closely, you can't help but shudder, because this kind of green is not seen at ordinary times. If you have to describe it, only the ghost fire of the desolate tomb has a similar color.

This color does not belong to the earth, not to the living, not to all living beings...... It comes from beneath the Nine Shadows, a sign of the dead, an unquenchable fire of the soul.

"Did I really find it?" Happiness came too suddenly, Zhou Zheng himself was a little surprised, but he still remained cautious: "No, no, no, you must be careful, if you make a mistake, you will fall short!" ”

However, this gloomy breath-taking breath-taking breath of death seems to remind Zhou Zheng - yes, yes, this is it.

Zhou Zheng felt a lot of sweat drops appear on his forehead, but at this moment his senses were all on this wisp of primordial spirit, there was no doubt that this was an illusion. However, this illusion also proves Zhou Zheng's nervousness.

"As long as you believe, if you are firm enough, you can break through all the darkness of the world and not be swallowed up by it!" This sentence has almost become Zhou Zheng's motto, and whenever he hesitates, he will always repeat this sentence silently.

The hesitant heart became extremely firm, and even the small wisp of Yuan Shen seemed to glow.

"Broken!" With the belief of victory, a wisp of primordial spirit, a trace of true qi, like Don Quixote hitting a windmill, slammed into the green energy flow......

And not long after, Zhou Zheng's physical body opened his eyes, and then, a smile appeared on his face.

"Did it work?" Meng Zhuo was also a martial artist in the Heartbeat Realm, and he could clearly feel that the dead qi on the child on the side was gradually dissipating.

Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "It's successful, then you just need to dispel the dead qi in his body." After that, his posture remained the same, still with one hand clasped together with his left hand, and the right hand cast the Fearless Seal. Under the urging of Zhenyuan, Zhou Zheng's right palm radiated a heavy golden light, illuminating the grimaces on the tumor, distorting one by one, and finally dissipated like a snow lion towards fire.

When Zhou Zheng withdrew his right hand, calmed down his true anger, and looked at the child's neck, the tumor was gone. But necrotic muscle tissue does not regenerate instantly, and the flesh on the left side of his white neck has rotted and exudes a fishy smell.

"Brother Zhou, have you ever considered this child's future?"

"I don't know, I haven't thought that far."

Meng Zhuo looked at the child's wound with some distress, and suggested, "If you can trust me, Brother Zhou, it is better to hand him over to me." We, the Pillow Book Club, will definitely train him to be a good man who is both civil and military. With his root qualifications, and with his experience, he will definitely be a fighter for demon slaying and defending the path in the future. ”

Wen Siqi stood aside, listened to Meng Zhuo's words, and put this kid on the template of Zhou Zheng in his previous life for no reason-he has excellent qualifications and hates demons, hehe, and he also fell into the hands of the Pillow Flow Book Club...... Isn't this the second bitter Confucian?

It's just that Jinshui Town in the previous life was plowed several times by the tide of death like a rake, and except for Zhou Zheng, half of the living people were not left. The child in front of him naturally has no chance.

And Zhou Zheng didn't know all this, he glanced at Meng Zhuo, was silent, and didn't agree immediately. It's not that he doesn't worry about the Pillow Flow Book Society, it's just that in his opinion, since this child has been freed from the Hades Tree seed, then all matters related to him should be left to him to decide after he wakes up.

It was in this short silence that a short, painful "um" came from the side. Zhou Zheng and the other three were attracted to it, and they couldn't help but turn their heads to look, only to find that the child had actually woken up.

"Knives!"

It didn't seem to have fully recovered his senses, and the thin child in front of him reluctantly raised a hand and pointed it at Zhou Zheng. His mouth was full of babbling—

"Give me ......"

"I want a knife ......"

"Knife ...... A knife that is alive, a knife that lives on. ”

There is a sentence in it that no one else can understand, only Zhou Zheng knows, and the previous Asura also said the same thing. Seeing this, Zhou Zheng did not hesitate at all, untied the ring knife on his back and put it in the child's hand.

The weak child took the sword, hugged it tightly in his arms as if he were holding a doll, and fell into a deep sleep.

Meng Zhuo and Wen Siqi looked at each other, unable to believe that there was such an operation in coaxing the child to sleep. Zhou Zheng just sighed lightly, made a gesture to the two, and led the two to the outside of the house.

In this way, Zhou Zheng and the other three left the cell. What they didn't know was that just after Meng Zhuo locked the door again, the sleeping child actually sat up. What's even more terrifying is that his eyes emit a faint green light, like the legendary ghost fire of the desolate tomb.

The skeleton tiger on the side was affected by this, and couldn't help but tremble, trying to shrink back, trying to find a place to hide.

The child who woke up did not pay attention to the skeleton tiger, but only touched the wound on his neck, and held the ring knife in front of him with both hands, and carefully studied it again......
