"Whew...... You really shouldn't be alone. ”

After saying goodbye to Ling'er, Zhou Xu planned to go to the mountains to find some herbs, maybe he could repair his dantian, after all, there are many magical things in the world.

He cautiously climbed up the mountain.

"Hey, it's so cold, I knew I had to bring more clothes......" he said that, but he climbed up anyway.

He didn't know if he could repair his dantian by looking for herbs like this, but he knew that it was impossible to sit here and do nothing.

Zhou Xu wiped the sweat from his head, and then climbed up. Suddenly, several small rocks rolled down from the top of the mountain.

"Start...... The wind is blowing?"

Suddenly, a blue-green light smashed into the opposite hillside, and before Zhou Xu could think about it, a blue-green coercion hit him.

"Wow......"

How could a mortal with no strength be able to defeat this energy, Zhou Xu instantly spat blood from his mouth, and was affected by that terrifying light cluster, and his whole body was already surrounded by blood.

He turned around with difficulty, only to see that the dozen or so peaks had been smoothed out, and there were even a lot of ...... in the smoothing place Tree?

However, Zhou Xu didn't have the heart to think so much at this time, and besides, he was falling from a height of several thousand meters, and he was about to die at this moment.

"How is that possible!" With only the last of his strength, he raised his head to the sky and shouted. Then, he fell into a coma......

......

Tick, tick......

It was the sound of water droplets, and suddenly Zhou Xu was awakened.

"I ...... Where am I?"

He found himself in a jungle with a stream flowing through it. A scene full of spring should not appear in the late autumn season.

"In the spring, I've slept for most of the year? Heh, how is that possible?"

He patted his body, and suddenly he realized that the original blood stain on his body was gone, and he realized that something was wrong.

In the blink of an eye, razing more than a dozen mountains, he knew that only Emperor Wu could do it.

"You're awake, lad. ”

At this time, an old man came from a distance, this old man was skinny, but somehow, looking at the thin shoulders, it seemed to be full of strength.

"You are Emperor Wu?"

"It's just a false name, but you, a person who doesn't have any cultivation, can actually guess. The old man was surprised, "Hey, wait, your body seems to be a little interesting?"

"What are you going to do?" Zhou Xu made a defensive gesture, however, in the old man's opinion, it was useless at all.

"Hahahaha!" the old man suddenly laughed wildly, "Young man, do you want a power, the strongest power in the world!"

"You're laughing, I don't even have cultivation, if I really have such a strong strength, do you think I can support it?"

"No, no......, no," the old man said to himself, "Do you know that when the chaos first opened, nine elements popped out, gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light, and darkness, and each element formed a strange spirit orb. ”

"I do know this power, but haven't they all been taken away by those powerful ones?" Zhou Xu was a little puzzled, still very vigilant at the old man.

The old man gritted his teeth and smiled, "Hehe, do you think I look like a powerful person?"

"Ha-" Zhou Xu laughed helplessly, "Senior, even if you pass on this energy to me, do you think I have the ability to keep it from being taken away?"

"Oh, that's stupid!" the old man beckoned, and a turquoise orb sprang out of his hand.

With the appearance of the round tree, suddenly the grass and trees in the forest seemed to have received something, and became more active.

Some of the originally low trees suddenly grew into towering trees, and the grass under their feet became more and more verdant, and several different small flowers emerged from them.

The old man then said: "The Wood Spirit Bead is the most harmonious and affectionate of all the Spirit Beads, not to mention you, even if it is a half-limped waste, there is no problem in swallowing it." ”

Zhou Xu was still not at ease: "But ......"

"If you're worried about being robbed, its power is tied to your strength, the stronger you are, the stronger it gets, and it hides its aura tightly, unless it's something really terrifying, no one should be able to find out. ”

Zhou Xu didn't look like the old man was lying to him, so he asked, "With such a terrifying power, why don't you take it away yourself?"

"Ha, I think so!" the old man took a deep breath, "an organization has set its sights on me, and I guess it will come to me in a while." Besides, you... It's fun!"

The old man sighed again: "Alas...... In a word, mother-in-law or mother-in-law, do you want it or not!"

"Haha!" Zhou Xu smiled, "Of course I want to, but... What are the conditions?"

"Smart people, the conditions are naturally there-" The old man's voice suddenly fell a little lonely, "Avenge me......"

"Huh?" Hearing this, Zhou Xu's expression suddenly became solemn.

"Blood Scythe, they're a bunch of bastards who specialize in looking for spirit beads, but these bastards are ridiculously strong. ”

The old man put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky, "Have you ever heard of the Great Xia Dynasty five years ago, just because the emperor's fire spirit bead was targeted by them, they destroyed that dynasty in less than two days, and there was not a single living mouth!"

Zhou Xu's face gradually turned cold, and his voice became cold in an instant: "Is it a group of people with blood-colored sickle patterns painted on their arms?"

"You...... You know?" The old man was surprised, and seemed thoughtful.

"Even if you don't say it, I will definitely seek revenge on them......"

The old man clapped his hands: "Oh, I understand, prince, are you still alive? That old emperor who plays with fire is really powerful, haha, it seems that my revenge is hopeful!"

Rumble......

There was a sound in the sky, and several dark shadows faintly appeared.

The old man said quickly: "Boy, driving the Wood Spirit Bead is actually very simple, swallow it, and it will tell you what to do...... This may be the last time we'll see each other, come on, boy, I'll buy you some time!"

After saying that, the old man dropped the wood spirit bead and glanced at Zhou Xu with a different expression, this look was kind and warm.

What Zhou Xu didn't know was that this time it might be goodbye.

Suddenly, the old man turned into a green light and flew away. Naturally, this could not escape the eyes of the pursuers.

"Boss, here—"

"We're chasing—"

The old man burst out with extremely powerful wood attribute energy, the purpose of which was to cover up the existence of Zhou Xu and the wood spirit bead.

Zhou Xu was moved in his heart, so he did not hesitate. He understood the old man's good intentions, and directly swallowed the Mu Lingzhu, and then, his consciousness fell into a blur.

......

When he woke up again, he seemed to be in a mysterious fantasy world, and in front of him, it was like a forest of green and snow.

He walked over to a large tree that covered the sky, and he felt that the tree was calling to him.

"Here you are, child......" It was the big tree that spoke.

"Do you recognize me?"

"Haha-" The tree didn't answer his question, but asked rhetorically, "what do you think is the attribute of 'wood'?"

"The trees? or ......"

"Hahaha - don't guess, in this Oz Forest, you can understand it alone!"

In the next second, Zhou Xu seemed to be in a wonderful space, which was full of all kinds of natural scenes, birds singing and flowers, small bridges and flowing water, lone eagles in the mountains, and sheep in the fields.

He tried to grab something, but he couldn't.

"Wood Spirit Bead, it's really amazing!"

So, Zhou Xu smiled slightly, and then sat down cross-legged.

Minutes and seconds passed...... One second, two seconds...... 1 day, 2 days...... Year after year...... Here, it is as if the cycle of time has been broken, and decades of time have passed in a flash.

I don't know how long it took, a drop of morning dew dropped between Zhou Xu's eyebrows, and at this time, he seemed to have woken up from a big dream, stood up, and the next second, he returned to the big tree.

Everything seemed so real and ethereal, Zhou Xu even felt that these decades had actually passed in an instant.

"'Wood' is a kind of living power, whether it is flowers and trees, birds, beasts, fish and insects, heaven, earth, people and ghosts!"

In an instant, the heavens and the earth changed color, and a surging force, the power of living beings, burst out from the majestic tree.

"Okay—you can go back, kid. ”

In the blink of an eye, everything around was gone, only the forest at the beginning remained, and Zhou Xu was lying quietly in the middle of the forest, everything was like a dream, very illusory, as if nothing had happened.

"I ...... How long have I been asleep?" Zhou Xu rubbed his eyes tiredly and walked towards the city.

As he walked through the bazaar, he heard a lively discussion:

"Hey, Wang, did you know that the peaks in the west have become a forest. ”

"How is it possible? There is such a thing? Lao Li, don't lie to me!"

"Really, how could I lie to you?"

"Alas, there is indeed no mistake, yesterday I was about to go to the mountains to collect medicine, and suddenly it was as if a god had descended to earth and turned the mountains into woods. ”

Zhou Xu walked in the direction of the Jin family, and it seemed that he had been "missing" for a short time, at least no more than a day.

He hurriedly felt his condition.

"Heavenly ...... Oh my God, it can't be!"

I saw that Zhou Xu's dantian had been completely repaired, and there was a turquoise spirit bead, quietly shining in the center of the dantian.

His cultivation at this time had already reached the first rank of martial artists, and he directly skipped the martial apprentice level.

To be honest, the martial apprentice level is more powerful than ordinary people, and the speed is just fast, and only when you reach the martial artist stage can you release your spiritual power.

Now, it only took him less than a day to cross the entire martial apprentice stage, which is obviously very terrifying.

You must know that even if you were back then, the genius who had no one before or since, it took more than 20 days to go from the tenth order of martial arts to the first order of martial arts.

The Wood Spirit Bead was really terrifying, but Zhou Xu vaguely sensed that the role of the Wood Spirit Bead seemed to be more than that.

While he was thinking about this, he suddenly heard an annoying voice.

"Yo Yo Yo, how do you say that the road is narrow!"

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xu happened to meet Zhao Ming here, he seems to be a third-order martial artist now, but he doesn't have a treasure like a wood spirit bead, so Zhou Xu naturally won't be afraid of him anymore.

"The son-in-law of the Jin family, I'm sorry. As long as you don't kill you, right?" Zhao Ming condensed a cyan ball of light in his hand, ready to punch it over.

"Heh-" I saw that Zhou Xu didn't move, and with a slight wave of his hands, he easily blocked Zhao Ming's attack.

"What? you...... You shit, how can you?" Zhao Ming was surprised when he saw a ghost.

Zhou Xu didn't give him time to think, and slashed at Zhao Ming with his backhand knife.

Zhao Ming did not hesitate, and after dodging the hand knife without danger, he took out two daggers from his pocket, these two daggers were all emerald green, and the blades were extremely sharp, and they seemed to be a good spiritual weapon.

"Wait, poisonous?"

Zhou Xu suddenly found that the dark green liquid dripping from the dagger had dripped onto the stones on the side, causing a piece of it to corrode directly on those stones. Is this going to stick to the flesh?

Zhou Xu let the turquoise aura possess his whole body, after all, only when he reached the warrior stage could the aura leave the body.

Zhao Ming suddenly jumped up, intending to stab directly down from his head!

And Zhou Xu, with his somewhat unfamiliar body style, flashed lightly, went around behind Zhao Ming, and slammed it with a punch.

"Bang-" sounded, and Zhao Ming was knocked to the ground.

Zhou Xu defeated him in less than three moves! However, he still didn't seem to be satisfied, "It's really a little rusty......

"Impossible, impossible, you ...... How did you become a warrior?" Zhao Ming roared angrily, and at the same time looked at him incredulously, "You...... You waited for me—"

Suddenly, Zhou Xu turned his head, he felt a familiar gaze, and when he turned his head, it was Ling'er, who was tilting her head to look at herself, but she still couldn't hide her surprise, after all, she didn't have any cultivation yesterday.

Ling'er jumped over: "Could it be that the appearance of such a large forest yesterday has something to do with you, why are you now?"

"I just found an opportunity......" Zhou Xu looked at her, and the breeze blew Ling'er's hair.

She seems to be a delicate piece of jade, which cannot be tarnished by any of the world.

"Ling'er, ...... in the future I'll protect you!"
