The few people walked forward for a few more minutes, and Jiang Ling, who had been scanning the surroundings with his mental power, suddenly noticed that the surroundings were a little cooler, and the humidity had also increased a little.

Jiang Ling told Wei Zhong about this, and Wei Zhong said that he was also aware of it. Jiang Ling guessed: "Maybe there's a stream ahead?" ”

"Not really." Wei Zhong shook his head and said, "According to the instructions of the seniors of Bailing Valley, we should not be far from that primordial ancient tree, it may be the influence of that ancient tree." ”

"You say, since the primordial ancient tree is so miraculous, and one or two drops of sap can heal such a serious wound of divine consciousness, then its branches and leaves must be treasures, so no one is tempted? I don't even have an accurate map. Xi Jiu was puzzled.

Wei Zhong explained: "You have also seen that this mountain is vast and there are many trees, even if it is a cultivator of the Heavenly Transformation Realm, there is a possibility of getting lost. Moreover, there are many powerful beasts in this forest, far more than the ones we just encountered, not to mention the protection of the Divine Bird. Another point is that the primordial ancient tree is rumored to be the first tree planted by the gods, and it is also the first living being in the world, so everyone has a sense of awe for this ancient tree, and most people dare not covet it at all. ”

"Okay." Xi Jiu responded and muttered, "I'm getting more and more curious about what this tree looks like." ”

After a few more moments of effort, the dampness and coldness in the air became more and more obvious.

Jiang Ling looked around, the trees in this vicinity were even more lush, each tree was more than twenty meters high, and the branches and leaves covered the sky, and it was impossible to see that it was already the cold winter season.

Jiang Ling looked ahead through the gap between the trees, but he didn't see the towering tree he imagined.

"The people of the Divine Court are coming and about to catch up." Wei Zhong glanced back, his face was solemn, and he said to Chi Chengyan: "After we arrive at the Taichu Ancient Tree in a while, let's observe the state of the black calamity bird first, if it is not easy to approach, it is better not to take risks." ”

"Understood." Ji Chengyan responded. Although he was concerned about the Valley Master's injury, he would not joke with his own lives and the lives of his disciples.

At this time, the three-way pursuers behind them arrived immediately, and they had to reserve enough strength to protect themselves, and they had no strength left over to compete with the Black Evil Bird. If the Divine Bird did not allow them to get close to the Ancient Tree, they could only choose to give up, and then cross the jungle as fast as they could, trying to get rid of the pursuers and preserve their existing strength.

"Have you heard, don't take any chances, if the Evil Bird is not allowed to approach the Primal Ancient Tree, we must withdraw as soon as possible." Chi Chengyan reminded the surrounding Bailing Valley disciples.

The surrounding disciples seemed to be a little reluctant, and no one answered.

"If you can't get out of this mountain forest alive, even if you get the sap of the primordial ancient tree, what's the use? What's more, in the eyes of the valley master, your life is as important as his, how can he bear to see you die for him? Chi Chengyan shouted: "If you want to go to Lanyin to visit the valley master, you must listen to my orders, understand!?" ”

This time, the disciples said in unison, "Understood." ”

"Do you want to take the juice with so many people?" Xi Jiu asked in a low voice.

Wei Zhong sighed lightly and said: "I heard that the valley lord is worried about his life, and now he can only hope to get the sap of the primordial ancient tree to heal his injuries, so these disciples all took the initiative to ask for help, and they were not afraid of the risk and followed the mountain, just hoping that the valley lord could recover as soon as possible." ”

"It's very united." Shimakawa nodded admiringly.

"Yes, Bailing Valley has always been like this, up and down in unison..."Halfway through speaking, Wei Zhong looked ahead, squinted his eyes and said, "It seems that we are about to arrive." ”

"Really? Get up to speed. Chi Chengyan and the disciples of Bailing Valley quickened their pace and walked forward.

Jiang Ling also followed, and at the same time extended his telekinesis and leaned forward. After running a few steps, Jiang Ling's eyes were different and said in disbelief: "Won't it?" ”

"When I heard about it, I was surprised." Wei Zhong had heard about it a long time ago, but he didn't tell Jiang Ling about them in advance, not to hide it, but to let them feel the shock for themselves.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Xi Jiu asked eagerly.

Jiang Ling was dumbfounded, and even a little hard to believe the results of his telekinetic survey, he glanced at Xi Jiu and Shimakawa Qin, and paused for a moment before speaking: "That tree... That tree... Forget it and see for yourselves. ”

"What, isn't it just a bigger tree?" Xi Jiu quickened his pace and muttered, "I'll see how thick and big it can be." ”

Xi Jiu said a bad line, and then trotted all the way, actually overtaking the disciples of Bailing Valley and continuing to run.

"Slow down, slow down, stop!" Jiang Ling followed behind and suddenly snorted.

Xi Jiu's running pace suddenly stopped, her whole body stiffened for a moment, and the next moment her legs seemed to be paralyzed, and she sat directly backwards and fell to the ground, and then took two steps back in a panic, and she broke out in a cold sweat in an instant.

Her eyes widened and she looked in disbelief in front of her.

At first glance, she was still wondering why the trees in front of her had become thinner, only as thick as one person hugging each other, and many of them were slanting long, and the branches and leaves were much lower on the trunk than other trees.

At this time, Xi Jiu discovered an extremely shocking thing, these were not trees, but branches.

Of course, these branches do not grow from the ground, they are born on the trunk of a tree, and this trunk is in the ground.

In front of Xi Jiu's toes, there was a huge pit like a cliff!

She took a deep breath and bent over to take a closer look, and then she felt dizzy.

"This primordial tree... Why is there a pit, and why is this pit so deep? Xi Jiu knelt on the ground, feeling palpitations, so he simply took two steps back in this posture, and then stood up with Jiang Ling's support.

After Jiang Ling helped Xi Jiu up, he walked to the edge of the cliff and looked at the past in amazement.

The ground vanished from here, and in front of me was a large, circular crater, and there was no slope, just a cylindrical crater straight up and down, as if a finger had been inserted into the cheese.

As a rough estimate, the pit was about the size of a stadium.

And the reason why Xi Jiu didn't see this pit was because there were dense branches and leaves in front of him that confused his vision.

But this is not a forest of many trees, but the canopy of a single tree.

Jiang Ling looked down, the darkness in this pit was impossible to see the end, he used his mental power to probe a little, and then was shocked again...

"This pit must be more than 500 meters high, which means that the tree must be close to 600 meters high." It's a wonder how tall a tree is as tall as a skyscraper, and its open canopy is comparable to a forest. Even if there was a conjecture in advance, this still shocked Jiang Ling's heart. Then he was also as confused as Xi Jiu: "The primordial ancient tree actually grew in the pit!?" ”

"You two retreat a little later." Wei Zhong stood ten meters away from the edge of the giant pit and reminded him.

Jiang Ling and Xi Jiu came to their senses at this time, and hurriedly retreated first, and looked at the top of the canopy, but they didn't see the shadow of the black bird.

"Since ancient times, the primordial ancient tree was born in this sinkhole, so some people say that it was the gods who pressed a pit with their fingers and threw the seeds of the ancient tree into it. As for whether it's true or not, it was thousands of years ago, and who knows. Wei Zhong had only heard about the situation of the Taichu Ancient Tree from his predecessors, and it was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes, so he was naturally shocked. He continued, "This is the primordial ancient tree, the first creature in this world. ”

At first, Jiang Ling thought that this statement was just a rumor, but looking at the six-hundred-meter-tall giant tree in front of him with a trunk as thick as a unit building, Jiang Ling had fully accepted such a statement.

Jiang Ling then asked, "That... What about the Miser? ”

"I don't know, normally speaking, it's incompatible with the primordial ancient tree." Wei Zhong was also carefully watching the canopy department, afraid that a giant bird would rush out of the dense canopy and pounce on this side.

"Isn't it? Or... Grab the juice and go? Ji Chengyan looked at Wei Zhong.

Wei Zhong hesitated slightly, but he really didn't notice the location of the black bird, so he said, "You can try it." ”

Jiang Ling asked, "How to get this juice?" Picking a leaf and grinding out the juice? ”

Wei Zhongdao: "Leaves also have medicinal effects, but they are far less effective than the sap obtained from the branches, and the most precious and effective is the sap taken from the trunk. ”

"The sap taken from the trunk? Isn't that going down into the pit? Jiang Ling was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said, "Could it be that the black bird is not allowed to go down to the pit with older people and beasts?" ”

"That's right, so the best thing to do now is to find someone to go down and have a look." Wei Zhong spoke.

"The Misfortune Bird is not there? Then I'll go. Ji Chengyan said.

"No, the black bird is like a mythical beast, it may be hidden somewhere in the ancient tree, but I can't detect it." Wei Zhong said, "If it detects that you are close to the Primal Ancient Tree, it will not be good to provoke it. ”

"Hall Master, I would like to go down."

"Hall Master, let me go."

"Master, let the apprentice go down first."

Several disciples of Bailing Valley scrambled to ask for their lives, knowing that it was also the first time they had seen the Taichu Ancient Tree, they were also extremely shocked, no one could tell what the situation was under the giant pit of about five hundred meters, but they were not the slightest fear.

"Okay, Ruhan, you go down and take a look, be careful." In the end, Ji Chengyan chose his own personal disciple.

"The disciple receives the order." Ruhan lowered his head and clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and came to the edge of the huge pit.

At this time, Jiang Ling took two steps forward and also came to the edge of the giant pit.

"Little Brother Jiang?" Wei Zhong asked suspiciously.

Jiang Ling opened his mouth and said, "I'll accompany him down to have a look." ”

"That's annoying little brother Jiang." Chi Chengyan was naturally worried about his disciple, and when he saw that Jiang Ling was willing to accompany him, he hurriedly hugged his fists and thanked him.

"It should." Jiang Ling responded, and then gave Xi Jiu and Shimakawa Qin a look, signaling the two to be careful on it.

Shimakawa Qin and Xi Jiu also understood Jiang Ling's approach and nodded in greeting.

Jiang Ling stood at the edge of the pit, looking at the huge pit like an abyss below, he jumped and jumped directly.
