A few days later.

A certain area of the Blade Sea.

Anrui and Chloa were sneaking at the bottom of the sea, each with a huge bubble on their heads, and after these days of recuperation, Chloa's injuries were mostly healed and she was able to move freely. Both wore glowing stones that emitted a white halo that illuminated the darkness of the ocean floor.

There are a large number of sea monsters and carnivorous fish lurking around, and these sea creatures circle around the two of them, and from time to time some of them will rush up and attack them. The sea creatures here are very strong, and it is difficult to suppress them by relying on Long Wei alone.

Sou!

Another sea monster rushed at him, its slender body, its silver glittering, and the fins on its back as sharp as the blade. It quickly rushed to An Rui's side, shook its body, and slashed at An Rui with its shiny fins. Don't look at it's just a fin, it's as sharp as a gold-level weapon.

Anrui dodged the blow with a short stature, and then with a backhand swing, he slashed the sea monster's head with his sword. The sea monster was hit by a sword in the head, and at that time it spurted out a stream of blood, and died on the spot. I didn't see An Rui make any movements, and the bloodthirsty sword that he swung out had already returned to the scabbard.

"Alright, let's move on." Anrui pointed down and continued diving.

"President An Rui, how long will it take to swim to find that 'Ancient Tree in the Center of the Earth'?" Kloa asked. It can be seen from his title that he has surrendered to An Rui and become a member of the Overlord Chamber of Commerce.

"It's coming, swim another three to five minutes, and you'll be there." An Rui replied.

The two of them went in search of a tree called the "Ancient Tree of the Earth's Center", which grows deep underground. It doesn't need sunlight to grow, and because it's old, it's called an ancient tree. This tree is spiritual. Possess a certain amount of wisdom, and if there is danger, it will take the initiative to launch a counterattack. Its branches, as well as the sap it spews, are powerful weapons.

The reason why Anrui wanted to find this tree was to increase Chloa's strength.

Chloa is a druid who is very good at controlling plants, especially trees. That's why he got the nickname "Tree King". With the spells of the druids, he can manipulate hundreds of trees to fight for himself, turning them into powerful soldiers.

Trees are different from trees. There are strong trees and there are weak ones. The stronger the trees that Chloa controls, the stronger her combat power will be.

The Ancient Tree of the Center of the Earth is a powerful tree in this area of the Blade Sea. The strongest tree An Rui could find was the Ancient Tree. He's going to find the tree. Help Chloa improve her strength. In this way, when the sun never sets on the Imperial fleet to attack Red Diamond Island, Chloa can also come in handy.

The two of them continued downstream, passing through a vast expanse of mountains that had been reached by changes in the earth's crust, and that would have risen thousands of yards to the surface. These mountains are very different from those on land. There is a different view. Many marine creatures inhabit these mountains, coming and going in caves and crevices. Among them are some big guys.

The two of them walked through the valley at the bottom of the sea, reached the deepest point, and then stopped.

"We've arrived at the place, the ancient tree in the center of the earth is right down here, let's dive into the ground together." An Rui hung in the turbulent waters of the undercurrent, staring at the ground below.

Chloa didn't ask Anrui why he knew that there was an ancient tree in the center of the earth, and his years of experience as an official had taught him to do more things and ask fewer questions, and not to question leaders easily.

"Leave it to me to go underground." Chloa took up the task, swam to the ground, reached out and dug through the moist soil, and planted a seed.

Anrui could easily dive underground with the Drill Ring, but instead of stopping Kloa, he watched quietly to see what tricks the rookie was up to.

Chloa stretched out her hand and aimed at the seeds in the soil, casting a spell that had the effect of accelerating the growth of plants, and a soft green light appeared from the palm of her hand, and the light exuded a rich breath of life, just like the sun and rain in spring.

Under the spur of the spell, the seed quickly took root and sprouted, rising at an alarming rate, and one rhizome after another sprung up. These rhizomes are like the powerful tentacles of an octopus sea monster, piercing into the soil and extending downward.

A jar of soybeans soaked in water can even burst a glass bottle, and the power of plants should not be underestimated.

The rhizome's tentacles continue to extend, penetrating deep into the ground, creating a path that leads below. The tentacles grew and thickened, tearing and squeezing the soil below, widening the passage. The surrounding sea water poured into it, filling the channel.

The passage stretched downward, getting deeper and deeper, and after diving for more than a hundred yards, it finally penetrated the land. The tentacles of the plants stretched out into an empty and unknown space below, and the speed of the surrounding sea water suddenly accelerated, forming a torrent.

"There's a hole down there." Chloa was taken aback.

Due to the influx of seawater, it is not clear what is underneath for the time being, but judging by the speed of the seawater, the space below should be very large.

An Rui looked at the passage pierced by plants, and nodded slightly, different professions have different skills, and the ability of druids to turn into animals and manipulate plants is still very strong.

"Alright, let's go down together. This is the Ancient Tree in the Center of the Earth, I don't need to remind you of the danger of this kind of tree, you should remember to be careful. An Rui advised, and immediately got into the passage first, and dived quickly with the current.

A hundred yards wasn't a long distance, and Anrui quickly made his way through the tunnels and came below.

The space is very large, at least three thousand yards long and wide, and above it, grows a towering tree that stretches downwards with dense branches. The color of the bark is grayish-black, similar to the color of stone. There are no leaves on the branches, but there are many wood buds.

Seawater poured down from above and poured into the space, forming a column of water that could not fill the place in a short period of time.

Chloa then arrived, using a flying cloak that Anray had given him earlier, hanging in mid-air. He saw the strange giant tree growing underground, and excitedly said, "There is really an ancient tree in the center of the earth growing here!" ”

The Ancient Tree in the Center of the Earth had a strange perception ability, and when it sensed the arrival of the two intruders, the branches that had not moved at all slowly trembled and stretched out towards An Rui and Chloa. The thickest part of the branch is three times thicker than an elephant's waist, and the thin part is as slender as a little finger.

"Chloa, how long do you estimate it will take to submit this big tree?" An Rui drew his twin swords and asked intently.

Chloa recovered from her stunned state, and after a moment's thought, replied, "If you can get me close to its roots, it will only take me a minute to subdue it." ”

"Okay, I'll help you buy this minute, you come with me!" As soon as An Rui's words fell, the whole person rushed headlong towards the ancient tree in the center of the earth, and the speed was as fast as lightning.

Chloa followed, casting a defensive spell halfway through, a layer of veneer armor spreading out of her body to protect herself.

The rapid movement of the two of them further touched the ancient tree in the center of the earth, causing the tree to react violently. Countless branches sped up towards the two of them, trying to tie them up. The two of them tried to avoid the branches, looking through the gaps to find their way forward.

"Huh!"

A twig was like a whip, and it was whipped at Anrui.

An Rui mustered up all his strength and slashed at the branch, which broke in response. The ancient trees in the center of the earth have a very strong defensive ability, even he has to do his best to cut these branches, if he encounters branches that are too thick, he can continue to cut them with a single sword.

The two of them flew all the way, gradually approaching the trunk of the ancient tree in the center of the earth.

The ancient tree in the center of the earth was completely anxious at this time, and began to deal with the two of them with all its strength, and all the branches up and down the whole tree acted together, half of them were wrapped around the trunk to protect them, and the other half attacked the two like crazy, and used another attack method. Countless wood buds on the branches bloomed, revealing small black holes, aimed at An Rui and the others.

"Snort!"

The black holes splashed red sap, which had a very corrosive effect, and even metal and stone could easily corrode away.

Fortunately, Anrui had already prepared and brought defensive treasures for himself and Chloa. The two of them each unleashed the magic scroll and propped up a curtain of water around their bodies. The sap sprayed on the water curtain and immediately slid down, without any harm.

The two used various means to resist the attack of the ancient tree in the center of the earth, and finally rushed to the front of the big tree. An Rui suddenly swung the Demon Breaking Sword, using the magic power contained in the sword body, fusing with his own strength, enhancing the destructive power of this blow, slashing heavily at the root of the tree, splitting several branches that were wrapped around it.

The damaged roots of the tree were exposed, and sap as red as blood emerged.

Seeing this, Chloa hurriedly flew to the side, reached out to the root of the tree, and released a spell to subdue the plant. Green glowing talismans appeared in the air, imprinted on the roots of the tree, and made a buzzing sound. This submission takes a minute and cannot be successful in a short period of time.

For a minute, Chloe could not be disturbed in any way.

With his twin swords in hand, Anrui hovered beside Chloa, staring at the surging branches around him, and he wanted to do his best to protect Chloa from being affected.

The Ancient Tree of the Center of the Earth has a certain ability to think, and can make judgments based on the situation around it, and in the case that normal attacks have no effect, it can only use killer weapons. The numerous branches were tangled together, and their volume continued to expand, as if they had become the fists of giants.

The giant fist of the twig gathered strength, and there was a tight crunch from the branches. (To be continued......)
