The warm sun is high, the snow is about to melt, and the air seems to contain the breath of spring, which makes people feel full of vitality.

Zhao Hao was like a bird shuttling through the jungle, and the flying technique had obviously been perfected.

Suddenly, Ji Rushuang in front seemed to have discovered her prey, and jumped down the mountain with a swish, and swept straight towards the deep valley below.

Seeing this, Zhao Hao hurriedly unloaded the longbow, sped up his speed, and followed.

Unexpectedly, there were no strange beasts in the deep valley, and there was no existence close to the divine beasts, and there was not even a trace of a beast.

After Ji Rushuang swept down the valley, he stood still in front of a small tree.

Could it be that there is some strange beast hidden in the small tree?

Zhao Hao looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but be at a loss.

That small tree is only four or five meters tall at most, and the trunk height is more than two meters, and although the branches and leaves on it are extremely dense, it doesn't look like a strange beast is hidden!

Is it a snake?

If it is a snake beast, it is also possible, after all, the snake hovering does not take up much space, and other beasts are not very likely, so a small branch and leaf, it is impossible to hide a huge beast in it.

Zhao Hao stood on a thick branch, slowly pulled out an iron arrow, put on the bowstring, and looked nervously at the small tree in front of Ji Rushuang, his palms were about to sweat.

Snakes are not easy to shoot, because snakes are too small, and their speed is quite fast, and if they don't shoot in the head or seven inches, it's basically useless, and he doesn't dare to be careless.

Unexpectedly, he held his bow and arrow tightly and waited for a long time, but there was no movement on the small tree, and Ji Rushuang also stood there motionless, as if he had been immobilized.

Oh, that's not right!

Ji Rushuang didn't even pull out the divine weapon, what was going on?

Zhao Hao was puzzled, but Ji Rushuang suddenly turned around and beckoned to him.

Does this mean let me pass?

He hesitated, but put away his bow and arrows, drew his divine weapon, and leaned over cautiously.

Seeing his cautious appearance, Ji Rushuang couldn't help but say playfully: "What are you doing here, there is no danger here." ”

When Zhao Hao heard this, he hurriedly put away his divine soldier and said embarrassedly: "Uh, this, then why did you suddenly rush down?" ”

Ji Rushuang was quite puzzled: "This is a sacred tree, haven't you ever seen a sacred tree?" ”

Yes!

This is a sacred tree!

When Zhao Hao heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and took a closer look at the so-called divine tree in front of him.

To be honest, he really didn't know what the sacred tree looked like, and he couldn't really see it from a distance, so he didn't know what was so special about this tree at all.

However, when he stood up to him and took a closer look, he finally saw the special features of this sacred tree.

First of all, the branches and foliage of this tree are much denser than those of ordinary trees, and they are densely packed and look like they are full of life.

Moreover, every leaf on the tree is verdant and verdant, and it looks like it has been carved out of jade.

Is this the Sacred Tree?

Zhao Hao subconsciously asked, "Are you sure this is a divine tree?" ”

Ji Rushuang nodded without hesitation and said: "Of course, there are a lot of Divine Trees in our Nanhua Department, and I have seen more than one, I will never be mistaken, this Divine Tree is only relatively small, but it is definitely a Divine Tree." ”

This is a sacred tree, doesn't that mean that it can bear divine fruit on it?

Moreover, this is the extreme south of the Nanban Mountains, and it is inaccessible, and maybe, the divine fruit on it is still there!

Thinking of this, Zhao Hao couldn't help but eagerly search among the branches and leaves of the sacred tree.

He didn't want to eat a divine fruit to try, it is estimated that a divine fruit can only increase his strength by one or two thousand catties, and this thing is no longer very useful to him.

The reason why he was so eager was because he wanted to find a divine fruit for others to eat.

After all, according to legend, the Divine Fruit is a thing that ordinary people can eat and increase their strength by 5,000 catties.

It's a pity that there are only branches and leaves on the sacred tree, and there is not even the shadow of the divine fruit.

Seeing him like this, Ji Rushuang couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "No need to look for it, there is no divine fruit on this sacred tree." ”

When Zhao Hao heard this, he couldn't help but be disappointed: "Ah, is it because this divine tree is too small, and it is not yet time to receive the divine fruit?" ”

Ji Rushuang continued to shake her head and sighed: "It's not, the main thing is that we missed the time for the divine fruit to mature, and it will take about ten years for a divine tree to bear the divine fruit, so we should have missed it." Perhaps, the divine fruit that bears on it is ripe and rots on the ground, or it may be eaten by passing beasts or strange beasts. ”

This is indeed a pity.

So, what to do with this sacred tree?

Could it be that someone was sent here to guard it?

Zhao Hao looked at the surrounding terrain and couldn't help frowning.

Here, it's not easy to keep!

Seeing this, Ji Rushuang also raised her head and looked around, and then sighed: "It's a pity, this place is too far away from the Netherworld Valley, and the terrain is not suitable for defense, otherwise, guarding this sacred tree, every ten years or so, you can cultivate a pretty good master." ”

Zhao Hao nodded slightly and said: "Yes, it's a pity, if you want to keep this sacred tree, it will take too much manpower and material resources, and it won't outweigh the losses at all." ”

He really didn't know what to do, in this kind of place, it was really a headache to find a sacred tree.

Zhao Hao looked at the divine tree in front of him blankly, and he didn't know what to say.

Ji Rushuang proposed: "Otherwise, let's bring someone over to dig up all the surrounding areas and find the Heavenly Replenishing Divine Stone below?" There must be a Heavenly Replenishing Divine Stone near this sacred tree, and there is definitely more than one. “

Yes!

Dig up all of this neighborhood?

Zhao Hao asked blankly: "If you dig up all the Heavenly Replenishing Divine Stones below, will the Divine Tree wither?" ”

Ji Rushuang slowly shook her head and said: "This won't be, it's just that the divine tree can't bear the divine fruit without the Heavenly Divine Stone, we can also keep the piece under the Divine Tree and not dig it, if there is a Heavenly Divine Stone in it, this divine tree can still produce divine fruits, but it will take a little longer." ”

When Zhao Hao heard this, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

To dig, or not to dig?

If he didn't dig it, this sacred tree would be of little use to him, and it would be impossible for him to send a large number of elites to garrison here.

You know, this is the Southern Barbarian Mountains, and it is also the extreme southern land with an unusually large number of strange beasts, if you want to defend here, you need at least a few masters with a strength of more than 10,000 catties, otherwise, any powerful beasts, the elite stationed here may be wiped out.

And a master with a strength of more than 10,000 catties is not a problem to hunt a few strange beasts a year, if it is ten years, it is dozens, dozens of strange beasts, which is enough for ordinary elites to increase tens of thousands of catties of strength.

Sending a few masters with a strength of more than 10,000 catties to waste time here, it will definitely outweigh the gains.

If he couldn't send someone to garrison here, he would be able to take the time to come over once in a while at most, and in that case, it would be impossible to meet the ripe divine fruit.

In other words, if he wanted to get the divine fruit from this divine tree, it was almost impossible.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hao couldn't help but nodded slowly: "Okay, let's dig up all the vicinity here, look for it, and see if we can find the Heavenly Divine Stone!" ”
