Chapter 118: The Sky Swallowing Tree
After the lightning, a deep pit with a radius of three meters immediately appeared on the ground, but it quickly returned to leveling, and the pit seemed to have never appeared at all.
Xia Yang's body was half-kneeling, panting violently, and crystal water droplets dripped from time to time on his clothes that had already been soaked with sweat, but he couldn't leave a trace on the ground.
Xia Yang scrambled to breathe in air, his sore muscles constantly reminding him that he needed to rest.
What the hell is this place? If you are to be struck by this lightning, I am afraid that you will be bombarded with scum left!
As if he was angered by Xia Yang, the clouds in the sky suddenly surged wildly, and between the collision of the clouds, countless lightning bolts were connected in series to form a thick lightning pillar!
In an instant, the gray heaven and earth were lit up by lightning, and all the lightning was entangled into a giant lightning pillar with a diameter of more than five meters and fell from the sky, and the target was Xia Yang, who had completely lost his ability to dodge!
Xia Yang looked up at the terrifying huge lightning pillar, and before the words on his lips could be cursed, his body was engulfed by lightning.
I don't know how long it took, Xia Yang woke up leisurely, and the first thing he saw was the sky. The blue sky was pure and transparent, a few soft cotton clouds floated quietly in the air, and beneath him was soft grass, with a hint of earthy smell, and the Destroyer puppet stood silently aside, faithfully guarding him.
Xia Yang casually picked up a long grass, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it, the bitterness with a trace of cool moisture permeated Xia Yang's mouth, he stayed in the maze for too long, and his lips were dry and cracked.
Xia Yang's last memory was still stuck in the moment when the giant lightning swallowed him, and he looked around, and the peaceful and wonderful scenery around him made him unable to react for a while.
"Ye Lao, what happened to those lightning bolts just now? It stands to reason that if I am struck by that lightning, I will surely die, how can I survive? Xia Yang couldn't figure out everything that happened to the other party, and asked Ye Lao.
"I guess those are not real lightning bolts, but are virtual by the power of the soul, and its function is supposed to test whether you are qualified to enter here." Ye Lao said.
"Test what? Where is this again? Xia Yang asked, looking at the grassland covered with a green carpet.
Ye Lao analyzed: "If I'm not mistaken, this is an independent world!" You look intently to see how you're doing. You will find that you are in a very peculiar state right now. ”
Xia Yang looked intently into his mind, and unexpectedly found that there was a purple lightning sign in his mind, and when he touched the lightning sign with his soul power, he only felt that the lightning sign rotated ninety degrees clockwise, and then he was stunned to find that he and the Destroyer puppet appeared on Godfall Island together, and it was right next to the secret passage where he entered the underground labyrinth!
What's going on?
Xia Yang was surprised to touch the lightning sign again with his soul power, the lightning sign rotated ninety degrees counterclockwise, and then he returned to the grassland!
"The purpose of those lightning tests just now is to see if your soul power is up to the mark. If eligible. You'll be stamped with this mark. You can travel between the two worlds at any time, and in short, this lightning bolt icon has the same function as the game helmet, except that this time you enter it with your body. And not just spiritual. ”
"It's amazing!" Xia Yang tried to shuttle back and forth a few times, only to find that he didn't know when he opened the magic array, and the consumption had fully recovered.
It was already the middle of the night on Shenluo Island at this time, Xia Yang climbed up to the simple tree house he had built, and found that his belongings were placed on the tree unharmed, so he breathed a long sigh of relief, took out the water placed on the tree house, and poured it into his mouth, although it had changed its taste. But he still drank very happily, he was so thirsty.
After replenishing some water, Xia Yang remembered the griffin and quickly got in touch with it, learning that the griffin was still under his control. That's a complete reassurance.
Xia Yang instructed the Destroyer to hunt a small monster nearby to use as their food. The Destroyer also needs to be fed, or risk starvation.
Xia Yang rested for a while, and at the urging of Ye Lao, gathered the destroyer and griffin to his side, and then touched the lightning sign, and returned to the grassland, although there was no light source, it was as bright as day.
"I'm really curious, what's so strange about this world!" Ye Lao said with anticipation.
Xia Yang was just as curious, but for the sake of safety, he brought the griffin and the destroyer with him. The griffon's ability to fly is extremely useful in reconnoitring the enemy in this grassland, and with Xia Yang and the Destroyer joining forces, at least their safety is enough to ensure it.
Xia Yang and the Destroyer sat on the back of the griffin and chose a random direction for the griffin to fly low in the air.
Suddenly, a tall unknown tree appeared in front of Xia Yang's eyes. Its dark trunk is tall and straight, with only a few black leaves at the top, which is somewhat similar to the appearance of the coconut tree, but its thick trunk and broad, large leaves are obviously a completely different species from the coconut tree.
This tree was extremely tall, and it couldn't help but remind Xia Yang of the five black pillars of the magic array just now.
"Take a closer look!" Xia Yang patted the griffin's huge head and motioned for it to fly to the top of the tree. Xia Yang carefully observed this rare tree, its few leaves gathered slightly, as if it was protecting something.
Is there something in it?
Xia Yang was a little puzzled, and was about to touch those blades with his hand, but he heard Ye Lao shouting urgently: "Danger, flash quickly!" ”
As Ye Lao's voice sounded, those blades suddenly rotated, like a sharp gear, after Xia Yang was reminded by Ye Lao, he immediately used teleportation to dodge backwards, and the griffin's huge body didn't have time to avoid it at all, and was directly sawed on the body by the gear composed of the blades, and the blood flowed like a river in an instant!
You know, the griffin's body is stronger than steel! But in front of these leaves, they are as fragile as tofu!
The griffin's body shook violently, and a miserable howl, Xia Yang was connected to its soul, and he could fully understand its pain, but the scene that followed made Xia Yang even more frightened!
After the blades turned, it revealed what was wrapped in it, it was a huge strange head, it was as fast as lightning and completely unfolded, as huge as a hot air balloon, and the strange thing was that this head actually had a circle of teeth on it, and it swallowed half of the griffon's body directly! With such a hard blow, no matter how strong the griffon's vitality is, it will not survive!
Xia Yang clearly felt that his connection with the griffin had completely disappeared, and he and the Destroyer fell straight from the air to the ground with the griffin's corpse, and the most terrifying thing was that there was a tree monster on the side!
Xia Yang was full of confidence, he thought that with the griffin and the destroyer, coupled with his own tandem on the side, it was enough to be invincible, but he didn't expect that as soon as he entered this strange place, a big tree would give him a dismount.
After swallowing half of the griffin, the dryad was not satisfied, and the whole trunk bent down to chase the griffon's carcass, which was extremely flexible.
Xia Yang was in mid-air, and he couldn't use his strength, so he shouted loudly, letting the Destroyer jump first, and then jump down himself. Obviously, the griffon's huge body had a stronger attraction to the dryad, perhaps it didn't notice the two small points on the griffin's body, and was just focused on chasing half of the griffin's body.
Xia Yang used teleportation to take a step sideways in the air, unloaded the force of the fall, and rolled on the grass before standing up, and when he looked up, he happened to see the huge head devouring the griffin.
Xia Yang gasped, the size of the griffin was amazing, but the monster's head was even more terrifying, as if it could grow as much as it wanted, and the griffin would be swallowed up in two bites.
"This is the Alien Beast Sky Swallowing Tree!" Ye Lao exclaimed, "No wonder this grassland is so quiet, it turned out to have been eaten by the Sky Swallowing Tree!" ”
"Ye Lao, have you ever seen this kind of monster?" Xia Yang asked in surprise.
"Although the old man has never seen it, he has heard that the Sky Swallowing Tree is an extremely powerful alien beast, although it cannot move, its trunk can bend and expand at will like a spring, and no living creatures in the sky or underground can escape its predation." Ye Lao paused and said strangely, "How could an alien beast appear here?" ”
"Could this be the source of alien beasts?" Xia Yang thought of a possibility.
"Unlikely." Ye Lao said without any hesitation, "The place of origin of the alien beast has never been explored, how can there be a magic array specially teleported here?" And there is also a special test lightning test, apparently set up to screen the awakened, which should all be done by the awakened. ”
"Oh no, it doesn't seem to be going to let us go!" Xia Yang had been keeping an eye on the Sky Swallowing Tree's movements, and after it ate the griffin, the trunk quickly shortened and bent, and its large jagged mouth attacked Xia Yang directly.
Ice Arrows!
Xia Yang raised his hand and shot an ice arrow, because of the increase in soul power, this ice arrow was even more powerful than ever, as thick as an adult's arm!
The Sky Swallowing Tree directly opened its mouth and swallowed the ice arrow, and the sharp teeth actually bit off the ice arrow on the spot, and the arrow was eaten by it like rock candy.
Xia Yang knew that he couldn't escape, he would never be able to run the trunk of the Sky Swallowing Tree, and the only thing he could do was to avenge the griffin and fight with it!
Xia Yang let the Destroyer be the bait on the side, he used teleportation to quickly approach the trunk of the Sky Swallowing Tree, and wanted to use the sharpness of the Demon Saint's dagger to cut it, but he didn't expect that the Sky Swallowing Tree would completely ignore the Destroyer, but chased after Xia Yang closely.
Could it be that the Sky Swallowing Tree can't sense the existence of the Destroyer?
No, the Destroyer is a puppet like a griffin, why was the griffin killed in an instant just now?
The only explanation is that the Sky Swallowing Tree, like all alien beasts, has a strong hatred for the Awakened, so it will give up the Destroyer and come to pursue Xia Yang.
In that case, let's give you a taste of the power of The Destroyer!
Xia Yang sneered and gave the order to the Destroyer to attack the Sky Swallowing Tree to the death, while he concentrated on the huge head with a circle of teeth that came from the Sky Swallowing Tree.
