"What a pity! The spirit fruits on the spirit tree have all been lighted, and I don't know how many years it will have to wait before they reach the ripening stage. ”

Looking at the dense cyan leaves, Xiao Tianchi sighed in his heart, the fifth-order spirit tree, the maturity period is about ten years. If this spirit tree has matured recently, it means that it will have to wait for more than ten years to mature.

Lin Dong smiled indifferently: "It is estimated that it will mature within a year." ”

"Within a year?" Xiao Tianchi was surprised: "Didn't the Yang family say that this spirit fruit would be depleted within half a month after picking?" Even if this spirit fruit can be hung on the tree for a long time, it should not last for nine years. ”

"At that time, Sect Master Xiao will know if he can hang for nine years." Lin Dong smiled without saying a word, carefully observed around the cave wall, and asked after no result: "Sect Master Xiao, do you think there is still a possibility of a secret passage in this cave?" ”

Xiao Tianchi frowned slightly: "Shopkeeper Lin thinks there is more than one spirit tree?" ”

Lin Dong didn't explain, just nodded.

Xiao Tianchi was silent, and came to the cave wall to investigate carefully, and also went around in a circle, but the time was several times longer than Lin Dong, and the result was ...... It's the same.

"There shouldn't be a possibility of a secret passage."

Lin Dong was convinced of Old Man Ding's words, and he was not disappointed when he heard this, and asked, "Sect Master Xiao, is there a spirit tree that can cause the entire tree to die if the slightest damage to the roots of the tree?" ”

Xiao Tianchi was puzzled, and after pondering for a moment, he shook his head and said, "Although the Spirit Tree is ten times more delicate than ordinary trees, it is still delicate to such a serious extent. ”

Lin Dong nodded, took out the Xuantie kitchen knife from the mobile counter, came to the blue tree, and squatted to scrape the ground.

"Shopkeeper Lin, you are ......" Xiao Tianchi was a little inexplicable about Lin Dong's actions.

"Look at the fibrous roots!" Lin Dong smiled slightly.

Monk Xiao Tianchi was puzzled, but it was not easy to stop him, so he had to watch from the sidelines.

The underside of the blue tree, as in the surroundings, is dark brown soil. This kind of soil is as hard as steel, and Rao is as sharp as a black iron kitchen knife, and it is extremely slow to scrape. For a long time, with Lin Dong's unremitting efforts, the bottom of the trunk was gradually scraped off.

When Lin Dong got up, there was already a deep joy in his eyes. Xiao Tianchi looked at it, and the fibrous roots of this spirit tree were a little different from other spirit trees, and they only spread to one side.

Except for the left side of the passage, on the other three sides, there was not even a trace of fibrous roots in the dirt.

Seeing that Lin Dong came to the cave wall on the left side again, he scraped it underneath. Xiao Tianchi was slightly stunned, and then said in amazement: "Shopkeeper Lin, do you know the characteristics of this spirit tree?" ”

Lin Dong nodded and said casually: "I accidentally looked through an ancient book and found that there was a kind of spirit tree that was the same as the spirit fruit given by the Yang family, so I knew something. ”

The corners of Xiao Tianchi's mouth twitched slightly, he didn't believe these words. But seeing that Lin Dong didn't even say the name of the Spirit Tree, he didn't ask much. Whether it is the spiritual speed array that increases the cultivation speed or more than twenty high-level spiritual skills, the shopkeeper Lin is already mysterious enough, and it is not bad for these two things, as long as Gu Huan Sect can follow the soup to drink.

"It's done!" Lin Dong stood up abruptly, and under his feet, a hairpin-thick fibrous root was exposed to the air.

Knocking on the wall of the cave that the root of the beard was referring to, Lin Dong looked at Xiao Tianchi helplessly: "Sect Master Xiao, the soil here is too hard, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you." ”

Xiao Tianchi's right palm was bluff, and a long sword as black as iron instantly appeared in his palm.

Lin Dong was speechless, this sword should be the sixth-order spirit weapon Cloud Piercing Sword.

Xiao Tianchi stepped forward to Lin Dong's side and asked, "Cut in the direction that the fibrous root is pointing?" ”

Lin Dong nodded, and gestured: "There is no limit to the width and height, and it will not affect Sect Master Xiao's spiritual skills." ”

Xiao Tianchi nodded, his right arm suddenly waved, and a deep black light suddenly appeared on the Cloud Piercing Sword, and then with a series of rapid breaking sounds, he slashed towards the cave wall.

The sword drove straight in, did not enter the cave wall, and immediately continued to descend, although it was much slower than when the sword was swung, but the speed was not slow, and it reached the bottom in the blink of an eye.

Drawing the sword and jumping up, the cloud-piercing sword changed to a sweep, and when it sank above the cave wall, it was receiving the slash mark of the previous sword. Immediately after sweeping the marks and cutting out a sword, a long doorway about four meters wide and three meters high was cut out on the cave wall.

In the crack of the sword, the spiritual power vomited slightly, shook it a few times, and after widening the sword gap a little, the sword moved up, and after such a circle, Xiao Tianchi collected the sword and came to the center.

A sword hole was stabbed in the center, Xiao Tianchi inserted one hand into the gap, and the other hand into the sword hole, his eyes flashed, and he shook from side to side suddenly. The door trembled, and there was a constant clicking sound inside, and the sound sounded like the cracking of wooden blocks.

In a moment, Xiao Tianchi stopped shaking, and instead exerted force outward, and a clod of soil that was more than a meter thick slowly moved out.

Lin Dong was overjoyed, and hurriedly drilled into the door hole to scrape the ground with a dark iron kitchen knife, and after determining the direction of the fibrous roots, he replaced it with Xiao Tianchi.

In this way, they cooperated and advanced all the way, and as the two of them gradually went deeper, the thick clods of earth in the cave continued to increase.

About a hundred meters, Xiao Tianchi slashed down with a sword, and his face changed suddenly.

"The stab is empty!"

"Pierced?"

Lin Dong's body stiffened, and he was immediately overjoyed. This undoubtedly means that the way to find another trunk is the right one, and moreover, the other trunk is not far away.

Xiao Tianchi swung two swords in a row, and then pushed it out with one palm.

With a bang, the stone fell to the ground, and in the sight of the two, a cave with a diameter of no less than ten meters appeared. In the center of the cave is a dwarf tree about two meters tall with dense blue leaves.

On the low tree, two blue fruits poke out of their leaves, which is particularly eye-catching.

"Unexpectedly, there is really no cave!"

Xiao Tianchi took a deep breath, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly. This blue-leaved spirit tree and the green-leaved spirit tree outside are obviously of the same root and origin, that is to say, the spirit fruit on this is also a fifth-order spirit fruit, and he believes that if the two spirit fruits are taken at the same time, it is even likely to have special effects. Otherwise, this spirit tree would not have been so peculiar.

A seed could not be a hundred meters long, and the Spirit Tree was able to split in two, no doubt because one of the main trunks would move along the ground and penetrate the walls of a cave as hard as iron. Over the centuries, the walls of the cave slowly recovered and closed to form this wonder.

This spirit tree has such a strange special surname, and it must also have a special effect.

It's a pity that the other two cyan spirit fruits have already been eaten by Tianhao, otherwise they can be tested.

The two of them were in a hurry, and a squeak that tingled their eardrums quietly sounded.

"It's not good, spirit trees are generally guarded by spirit beasts."

Xiao Tianchi was shocked in his heart, and couldn't help but tighten the Cloud Piercing Sword in his hand and protect Lin Dong behind him.

The squeak grew louder and louder, and after a while, the ground a few meters away from the blue tree slowly arched, and an animal the size of a rabbit with brown fur and a rat-like appearance emerged from the ground.

"Fifth-Order Earth Eater Rat!" Xiao Tianchi's heart widened slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Shopkeeper Lin, the fur of this earth-devouring rat is as hard as iron, and its claws are comparable to high-level spiritual weapons, my strength should be about the same as it, and no one can help anyone." Let's get out and come back tomorrow. ”

"Sect Master Xiao, you are responsible for dragging the earth devouring rat, and I will go to pick the spirit fruit."

Lin Dong shook his head, entering Baoshan, how can there be a reason to return empty-handed.
