Man-eating tree, some people may be very unfamiliar with this word, but I believe everyone has heard of carnivorous plants. This plant feeds on some small insects. Some huge plants are even rumored to feed on humans and large animals. But these things generally appear in the West, not to mention those things that are legends. I didn't expect to see this plant in China.

"That's right, it's the Man-Eating Tree. Although this plant generally grows in the west, it is unfortunate that there are huge man-eating trees around Turtle Mountain. Usually they are active, preying on some large animals or humans lost in the mountains and forests. However, after about two months, the cannibal tree will go into hibernation. Zheng Gong nodded and explained to Xiao Nan.

"And that's when the Ancient Martial Arts Tournament begins, right?" Xiao Nan immediately understood why the Ancient Martial Arts Competition was held on Turtle Mountain at this time, it turned out to be because the cannibal tree was dormant.

"Not because of them, to be exact. There were also some ascetics on Turtle Mountain, and they only allowed us to enter that place at that time. Zheng Gong's explanation of those masters was a little vague, and it seemed that even the Zheng family didn't go far to mention those ascetics on the mountain.

"How did those man-eating trees end up around Turtle Mountain?" Xiao Nan didn't bother with the master's affairs, he knew that Zheng Gong didn't want to mention more, and Xiao Nan didn't ask with great interest. Luckily, I asked about the man-eating tree.

"To be honest, we don't know about the appearance of the man-eating tree, and there is no record in ancient books." Zheng Gong shook his head and said.

"I remember that the ancient books of the Zhou family recorded the relevant content." At this time, Sanjo touched his chin and said suddenly. In a word, everyone in the tent gathered their eyes.

"You know!"

"Like...... Seen. Sanjo was taken aback by the appearance of everyone, smiled, and explained: "I went to the Zhou family's secret warehouse to walk around, and then I saw their ancient books. It seems to be because of a big war that year. It was only after the Great War that the Man-Eating Tree appeared. ”

After listening to Sanjo's explanation, everyone nodded. I almost forgot about the ghost thieves who had been to the warehouses of the four major families.

What is the Great War, though? Xiao Nan looked at the three suspiciously.

"Blood Killing Brother, you are not from the ancient martial arts world, you don't know, there was a shocking battle that happened hundreds of years ago. That battle was centered on the Holy Maiden, and there were only two of the four major families at the beginning, the Wu family and the Zhou family. The war between the two families over the Holy Maiden. However, the third uncle still knows a little bit about the specific things. Seeing Xiao Nan's puzzled eyes, Zheng Mu hurriedly explained to Xiao Nan.

"Well, the Zhou family and the Wu family were in full swing at the beginning. In order to compete for the Holy Maiden, she almost pulled the entire ancient martial arts world into the Turtle Mountain. However, it seems that in the end, it was the Wang family who took advantage. Zheng Gong thought for a while and said.

"But I'm wondering, isn't it just a man-eating tree, it's not easy to interrupt those big trees with our strength?" Luo Jiahao looked at Zheng Gong and the two suspiciously.

"It's different, it's said that the war was full of corpses. The team that was sent out to clean up the corpses did not finish cleaning up for a day and a night. But the next day, all the bodies disappeared inexplicably. At that time, it also became one of the legends circulating in the entire ancient martial arts world. Later, strange things happened frequently in Turtle Mountain, and this thing gradually disappeared. Zheng Gong thought for a moment and continued: "I think it's very likely that those corpses were used as flower fertilizer for the man-eating tree, which made the man-eating tree grow like that. Don't look at it as an ordinary man-eating tree, but if you really get up, even if Mu'er and I join forces, it won't work. ”

"Two martial arts masters can't join forces!" Luo Jiahao looked at Zheng Gong and the others in shock, and muttered in disbelief: "Are those plants still refined?" ”

"It's not surprising if you say so, each of those cannibal trees has the strength of the Heavenly Rank, and even has an existence comparable to martial arts." Zheng Gong nodded and said with a smile.

"It's really a good ......" Luo Jiahao couldn't help pinching his ears, hoping that he had heard it wrong. In fact, each of them has the strength of the Heavenly Rank, and what is even more terrifying is that there is a cannibal tree comparable to a martial arts master, wouldn't those people go in to deliver food?

"But we didn't encounter any man-eating trees when we went in yesterday." Xiao Nan couldn't help but say, he really didn't believe that there would be a man-eating tree in this world.

"You entered Turtle Mountain yesterday!" Zheng Gong was taken aback and looked at the four of them in surprise. Xiao Nan and the others nodded, which was considered to be an acknowledgement.

"There should be a safe road in there. Could it be ......" Zheng Gong said in exclamation as if he suddenly thought of something.

"What is it?" Xiao Nan was stunned and hurriedly asked.

"Every year, the Wang family is the first family to enter Turtle Mountain. This is what I heard from an elder in the past. Could it be that the Wang family knows that safe way? Zheng Gong stood up from the chair and kept muttering: "The big war back then was the Wang family's advantage, and after that, the Wang family was the first to enter the Turtle Mountain every year, so these man-eating trees may have been planted by the saint of the Wang family back then!" And it is precisely because of the map that the Wang family is faster than us every year. I said that our other three families have prepared a lot, but no matter how many masters are sent, they are not as fast as the Wang family, so this is the reason! ”

Zheng Gong was taken aback by his own inference. If this is the case, then there will be fun, for so many years, the heavenly and earthly treasures on Turtle Mountain have probably been included in the Wang family's pocket!

Don't say you don't know, but be shocked when you say it. If it goes on like this, it will be more than ten years, and I am afraid that the gap between the four major families will become wider and wider. The Wu family and the Zhou family are both old forces, and it is natural that they are stronger. But if this continues, the strength of the Wang family will definitely catch up, and the Zheng family will become the weakest of the four major families at that time.

This is not the result that he, or even the entire Zheng family, wants to see!

"Uncle Zheng, let's not worry about it yet, it's useless if it's really so anxious, it's still the most important thing to find a way to break through the cannibal tree group now." Xiao Nan saw the anxiety in Zheng Gong's eyes, and hurriedly comforted.

"Yes, spirit beasts, and spirit beasts." As soon as he heard Xiao Nan's words, Zheng Gong immediately reacted.

"That, Uncle Zheng." Although Xiao Nan didn't want to see Zheng Gong disappointed, he had to say honestly: "Uncle Zheng, that so-called spirit beast is fake. ”

"What, fake!" Zheng Gong and Zheng Mu looked at Xiao Nan and asked in unison, it seemed that the speculation just now made both of them anxious.

"That's right, fake." Xiao Nan nodded with a wry smile, and then told him what happened last night.

"Are you saying that you entered Turtle Mountain from a safe area by mistake, and then found that the so-called spirit beast was nothing more than an ordinary little fox!" Zheng Gong looked at Xiao Nan with some disbelieving. But will Xiao Nan lie to them on this matter? Apparently not.

"But Uncle Zheng, I found a tracker on the feet of the blood fox, and it is a very advanced tracker." Xiao Nan looked at Zheng Gong and Zheng Mu and said his analysis.

"Brother Blood Kill, you mean that there are rumors that the little red beast is a spirit beast, in order to bring a group of our warriors together, but why did they do this?" Zheng Mu looked at Xiao Nan suspiciously and asked.

"That's where I wondered. I checked the blood fox's condition, and the little one didn't have many days left, and he still had cubs in his belly. It seems like someone deliberately put it out, and with the tracker on its leg, it must have a special purpose. Xiao Nan didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in this gourd, so he let the fox go and wanted to find out.

"Could it be that someone's pet escaped?" Luo Jiahao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said.

"It's impossible, one is that the tracker is too wasteful to use on pets all the time. Second, even if the owner of the pet likes this fox, but with the tracker, even if the fox runs around, it can be caught within half a day. But rumors of spirit beasts have been circulating for a long time. The third and most important point is that there are no such trackers in the country at all. The only person who can use this kind of tracker is Lao Mei. Xiao Nan looked at Luo Jiahao and explained that the time for this kind of tracker to be researched by Lao Mei was only half a month. It was only half a month, and it was still in the experimental stage, so it is impossible to popularize it at all.

"So you mean that there are barbarians who have broken into my ancient martial realm?" Zheng Gong looked at Xiao Nan and asked solemnly.

"I think it's very likely." Xiao Nan nodded and said.

"Blood killing brothers, this can't be nonsense!" At this time, Zheng Mu hurriedly said: "Even those citizens in the Ancient Martial Realm don't know about our existence, how can there be foreigners entering our Ancient Martial Realm. ”

This thing is not a joke, if you accidentally say the wrong news, you are likely to be hunted down by the world. This is the Ancient Martial Arts Realm, if you casually let foreigners in, then what kind of Ancient Martial Arts Holy Land is it?

"Brother Zheng Mu, do you say that the country knows about the existence of the Ancient Martial Realm?" Xiao Nan smiled slightly, looked at Zheng Mu and asked.

"This ...... Of course I do. Zheng Mu nodded, although they called themselves ancient warriors, but they also lived in the land of Huaxia, and the country naturally knew about their existence.

"Then how is it possible that foreign powers do not know about your existence. Their strength is enough to compete with the top soldiers in China, and they are very well informed, so it is not surprising that they know your location. Xiao Nan shrugged his shoulders and said.

"It seems that we underestimate that group of people." Zheng Gong looked into the distance and said coldly: "Since this is the case, then we should find out their purpose!" ”
