Chapter 5: The Golden Leaves
Xiao Chen had an idea and had a way - plants are afraid of fire!
Collect a lot of dry branches and tie them together to make them look like a boat.
Standing in the middle of the "boat", he first fixed the shield, then lit the branches in front of him and on both sides, and when the fire was burning, he lifted the small "boat" with both arms and walked towards the patches of soul grass.
The heat of the fire made the outermost few soul grasses feel very uncomfortable, and the straight blades began to bend in the direction of the cool air.
He was overjoyed, and quickened his pace.
A strange scene happened, as the flames approached, the soul spirit grass bent to both sides very "consciously", making way for him.
Whoosh...... Boom......
However, there are still guys who are not afraid of death, and they swing their blades and slash towards the burning branches, and the leaves are ignited at the same time as the branches are chopped, and they are instantly turned into ashes.
Xiao Chen quickened his pace, and finally passed through the danger zone before the branches were about to burn out.
He let out a sigh of relief, and before he could celebrate, danger struck!
Still thanks to the reminder of the martial spirit, he quickly shrank his neck, and three leaf flying knives struck quickly, two hit the cutting board, and one flew over his scalp, cutting off a lock of hair.
It was so dangerous, he sat on the ground with his buttocks, and waited for his mood to calm down, and then he continued to walk forward with the "shield".
Finally approaching the range of one kilometer, the frequency of leaf darts became higher and higher, so that the "shield" was almost full, and when the distance was only three hundred meters, everything became calm, and no more leaves attacked.
He threw away the almost obsolete cutting board and walked towards the tree. The only thing he can rely on is his own leaf martial spirit, and he bets that the old dryad will treat him as a plant.
The diameter of the crown of the 10,000-year-old dryad is at least 100 meters, and the diameter of the main trunk must be 7 or 8 meters, and the cracked bark and the roots of the tree exposed above the surface are all clearly visible.
In the not-so-strong moonlight, the trees shone with a turquoise glow similar to that of a jewel, and the hanging notes swayed gently in the wind.
Sou......
A twig suddenly drew towards him, and he quickly dodged to the right, the branch hitting the ground, leaving a shallow furrow about a foot deep.
Sou......
The second branch was drawn, and he calmly dodged it again, followed by the third, and then the fourth...... Until, dozens of branches form a dense network array.
Facing dozens of branches at the same time, Xiao Chen couldn't help but be a little in a hurry, and he hurriedly released his martial spirit.
As soon as the leaf martial spirit appeared, all the branches stopped, and instantly returned to the previous state of swaying with the wind, as if nothing had happened.
"It seems that buddy's martial soul really has something to do with plants, and the old dryad treats me as a kind. He muttered to himself, what he had just done was tantamount to gambling.
Until his hands touched the trunk of the tree, the old dryad seemed calm.
Through his nails, he felt a hint of familiarity, which made Xiao Chen even more suspicious of his martial spirit, obviously he had just awakened, why did he have a familiar feeling with this 10,000-year-old tree demon?
He looked up and saw a huge canopy of trees, with a little starlight shining through the dewdropping leaves.
His gaze was drawn by a faint golden light, and as far as he could see, a golden leaf grew on the tallest branch of the tree.
The shape of the leaf is very similar to his martial spirit, the only difference is the color.
The feeling of familiarity should come from this leaf.
The martial soul slowly rose and flew towards the golden leaf, the golden light and the green light of the martial soul immediately fused into one, he closed his eyes comfortably, and at the same time tried to see if the martial soul could absorb the golden leaf.
Rumble......
The golden light suddenly exploded, shaking his martial soul far away.
Xiao Chen opened his eyes, and the two leaves that were still in harmony with him a second ago seemed to have become enemies in an instant, hostile to each other.
The martial soul was obviously weaker than the golden leaves, and it drifted with the tide under the strong light, and although he tried his best to control it, he still couldn't stabilize it.
The approach just now was a bit excessive, and it was obvious that the dryad didn't want to give him this leaf obediently, and the good feelings that the two leaves had at the beginning also disappeared cleanly with the possessiveness of one party.
He put his hand on the trunk of the tree again, and clearly felt a trace of resistance from the dryad, how can he take the golden leaves for himself, from the performance just now, it is not difficult to see that the golden leaves will help his martial spirit.
The old dryad must have sensed his thoughts, and the branches in a calm state began to swing sharply, as if they would be pumped at any moment.
Xiao Chen pressed his body against the trunk of the tree to avoid the attack of the branches, this method proved to be very useful, and in the confrontation with the golden leaves, the martial soul was defeated one after another, and it seemed that it was very difficult to achieve the goal.
His head flashed with inspiration, according to the principle of the five elements, gold is the natural enemy of wood, and if you want to make a thriving tree die, you only need to drive a copper nail into the trunk, and over time, the tree will gradually lose its vitality.
And in his backpack, he carried a bronze short sword.
Believing that the Dryad possessed some wisdom, he took out the short sword from his backpack and said as he made a gesture to nail it into the trunk, "Old fellow, you should know what this means, if you don't want to die, give me that leaf!"
The big tree began to shake violently, hundreds of branches swayed sharply, as the saying goes, it is dark under the lamp, no matter how powerful the ten thousand year tree demon is, there is no way to ignore any position to attack.
Xiao Chen saw that it worked, gathered all his strength on his right hand, and then stabbed down violently, the sharp bronze short sword pierced the bark of the tree, pierced into the trunk an inch deep, and then said: "Give you half a minute to think about it, when the time comes, I will nail it into the whole thing, no matter how strong your vitality is, you don't want to live past this time next year." ”
Whew...... Whining......
The big tree swayed even more, and as soon as the time came, Xiao Chen bent down and picked up a stone and smashed it on the hilt of the sword, making the blade of the sword more than half an inch deep.
Before smashing it a second time, he said, "Since you choose to die, I will fulfill you!"
The blade continued to penetrate, and soon reached a depth of four inches, and further inside was the main vein of the Ten Thousand Year Tree Demon, once the main vein was destroyed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Finally, the Ten Thousand Year Tree Demon stopped, and Xiao Chen laughed: "That's right, in fact, sometimes it's not bad to be soft." Don't worry, as long as you give me the golden leaves, I won't embarrass you. ”
Immediately, the light of the golden leaf became dim, and he immediately commanded the martial soul to pounce, and the green light enveloped it, and the two leaves quickly merged into one, releasing a dazzling brilliance.
With the addition of golden leaves, the original turquoise martial soul turned into a tender green, like a piece of high-grade tea waiting to be picked.
He felt a powerful force enter his body, these were energies that were cleaner than the purest soul power, operating in the eight veins of the Qi Sutra on their own, and the most obvious change was that where these energy flows through, the meridians were rapidly opened up and widened.
He closed his eyes comfortably, his feet slowly lifted off the ground, and the aura contained in nature was gathering in this direction on its own.
At this moment, he could even feel the changes of the nearby grass and trees, as if he had also become a plant, and felt the breath of nature.
Everything in the world has spirituality, from the towering mountains to the weak weeds, all of which contain energy that can be turned into soul power, and at this time he had a deeper understanding of this view.
As the meridians were continuously broadened, the surrounding aura began to enter rapidly, turning into valuable soul power.
I don't know how long it took, he opened his eyes, the essence in his eyes flashed, and he was surprised to find that he had upgraded, and now he was a fifth-level Condensing Martial Realm soul warrior.
And the most gratifying thing is that the meridians have been widened several times, and the leaf martial soul has also received huge benefits.
Bet, win!
A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Chen came to safety.
Looking at the 10,000-year-old dryad, the front of a relatively thin branch is tied to the hilt of the short sword, and it is pulling out little by little.
The little marquis has a heart, if the 10,000-year-old tree demon wants to pull out the short sword, he must be patient and work hard little by little. If you use too much force, the branch may break, and the dagger will remain in the trunk forever.
In this way, you can buy time for yourself to come to safety.
