Xiong Qian and his entourage returned to Shuichen Fort to stay. Since then, he hasn't seen the palace master and grandmother for several days, but Wan Nianqing has come several times and arranged for him to go to the largest Qingteng Academy in Tree Heart City to learn skills, and the director of Qingteng Academy is an old scholar.

The Gu family brothers and sisters and Ou Qing were not suitable for studying in the Qingteng Academy because they were mortals, so they were arranged to go to the Dali College in the ground area to study the Four Books and Five Classics with those Duan family disciples, while Panshan Huamei followed the Tiger Thorn Mei to learn spells.

A few people can meet in Shuichen Castle every day, but they are also endlessly happy, crazy and playing, and the days have passed like this for a year.

A year later, in a tree bubble at the bottom of the tree, Panshan Huamei was hiding inside with Tiger Thorn Mei to observe the demon clan who came and went outside, looking suspicious. This tree bubble is shaped like a round tent, and it is one-way transparent, with the help of the outside light, the inside can see the outside, but the outside can not see the inside, so it is convenient to observe every move outside, which is a secret station of the Secret Flower Hall underground.

The bottom of the tree is made up of burrows dug along the roots of the trees, which are connected by tunnels. The tunnels are dense like spider webs, and have been dug up by these creatures that have lived in the underside of trees for thousands of years. The route is so complicated that I'm afraid that even the palace master Concubine herself doesn't know the detailed structure here.

It is often inhabited by creatures with ugly appearances and strange shapes. For example, the stenching stinking smash monster is like a magma essence with pustules all over its body, and there are many creatures that Panshan Huamei has never seen and cannot name. They have lived here for a long time, were born here, grew up here, and died here, and many demon clans have never even seen the sunlight on the ground in their lives, and of course they don't like sunlight either.

These bizarre and seeping creatures are also a very important part of the ecology of the heart of the tree, it is their existence that ensures the normal operation of the roots of the heart of the tree, after all, the heart of the tree city is too big, the roots that extend out are several times the area of the canopy area, snakes, insects and rats bite is inevitable, relying on their own immunity will definitely not be able to do it, these demons take on the task of removing those nasty microorganisms and parasites underground, these microorganisms and parasites are the food they rely on for survival, and the roots of the tree provide them with spiritual essence for their cultivation food, Everyone takes what they need from each other, forming a complete and closed ecosystem.

Lantern insects can be seen everywhere dotted the cave, bringing a little light to the originally dark underground world, fortunately, Panshan Huamei is also a plant demon clan, and it is more adaptable to the darkness underground.

And Tiger Thorn Plum and Panshan Huamei also changed their appearance at this time, hiding their bright red clothes and fragrant body odor. After all, this is the base area of the tree, and the appearance is too ostentatious and eye-catching. The tiger thorn plum transforms itself into an ugly rafflesia, exuding the smell of local customs, and Hua Mei becomes a bitten dog's tail flower, which can shake out a dusty dust with a slight shake, so as to remind the living not to approach.

Tiger Thorn Mei whispered in Hua Mei's ear: "We have two goals, one is unknown, the body should be closely related to bees, maybe it doesn't matter; The other should be a mouse, or not that you want a mouse, look closely. ”

"That's not what you said. So how to find it? Hua Mei muttered.

"The monsters that can enter the heart of the tree can change their shape, so don't be in the accident table, look at his behavior, even if a mouse becomes an elephant, his behavior still can't change his sneaky appearance, this is a divine soul brand engraved into the bone marrow, no matter how you change it, you can't change it. For example, the ability of the Fighting Holy Buddha to reach the sky, but when fighting with Erlang Zhenjun, its body can instantly change into a land temple, but the tail can never change to the front. That's his weakness, again, the mouse, he can be ever-changing, but his rat tail must be difficult to hide, like a long rope on his clothes, or a braid. As long as this characteristic is identified, the target group is much smaller. ”

Panshan Huamei's eyes widened, and she observed the demon clan coming and going through the one-way transparent tree bubbles: "Well, isn't that demon?" He had a red rope around his waist. ”

Tiger Thorn Mei looked at Hua Mei's line of sight, but saw that it was a toad spirit, walking with a big belly. Tiger Thorn Mei shook her head: "That's someone's trouser belt, so big belly, how can you do it without wearing a sturdy trouser belt." ”

"Oh." Panshan Huamei hung her head and said, "It's so difficult, Sister Tiger Thorn Mei." I'm your little girl, just serve tea and water, why do you want to teach me this? ”

Tiger Thorn Mei stretched out her jade finger and flicked it on the forehead of Panshan Huamei: "Since the palace master arranged you to be a flower waiter for me, then you have to obey my arrangement, I Tiger Thorn Mei has never been a demon who hides behind to enjoy comfort, and it is inevitable to encounter danger, as your flower waiter, you have to follow me at any time, then the number of times you encounter danger will definitely not be less, I don't want to need me to save you at a critical moment, sometimes I will weigh the importance of saving you and arresting each other." Then I'll arrest the other party, and you'll have to rely on yourself to get out of danger. Otherwise, do you think I've been a sentry for so many years, why haven't I been around? ”

"Ahh Panshan Huamei felt as if she had fallen into a big pit. So he hurriedly opened his eyes wide, endured the impact of various strange species that polluted his eyes, and carefully observed the demon clans coming and going.

Three days passed like this, and nothing was found. Although she is dozens of years old, the bored Panshan Huamei can't help but doze off. The little head went down one by one. Dotted and pointed, and planted on the ground. The head slammed on the ground, and because it was a tree root, it didn't make much noise, but the hard tree root still hit Panshan Huamei's headache. Rubbing the sore spot, Hua Mei found that Tiger Thorn Mei didn't know where she went, and was immediately shocked: "Sister Mei, Sister Mei, where have you been?" ”

Panshan Huamei raised her left arm, there is a communication insect for communication on her left arm, this is a small insect like a scorpion, you can talk to another communication insect remotely by rubbing the scales on its back at a specific frequency, this was originally a creature in the northern desert of Xiniu Hezhou was specially cultivated by the local demon clan leader for communication, and it was obtained when the palace master of Wanhua Palace in Shuxin City went to Xiniu Hezhou to participate in the banquet of the Bull Demon King, and first purchased a batch for high-level use, Later, he felt that the effect was good, so he carried out a friendly visit with Xin Ba, the gold lord of Xiniu Hezhou, and introduced it on a large scale. Now there are a lot of them in the army of Shuxin City, this communication insect does not need any mana, even mortals can communicate with another communication insect thousands of miles away, so Panshan Huamei can get one, and the gold lord Xin Ba also expanded greatly with the profits of this thing, and built countless pyramids all over the world, from Dongsheng Shenzhou to Nanzhan Buzhou, one by one pyramids connect the entire human world, and the Xin Ba family was also prominent for a while, but it was later destroyed by the Holy Religion, Only the pyramids and sphinxes were left for the later demon clan to remember and mortals to guess.

The reason why the communication bugs in Tree Heart City can still be used is because the pyramid in the southeast of Dongsheng Shenzhou is still operating normally, which is also the reason why Tree Heart City must exterminate the Queen Hornet, if the Queen Hornet destroys the pyramid, the tens of thousands of communication bugs cultivated in the hands of Tree Heart City will be useless, and the communication bugs and their supporting facilities purchased at a high price back then will all be lost, and now the gold lord Xin Ba and his family have disappeared for thousands of years, and it is impossible to get up from hell to carry out an after-sales service for Tree Heart City.

Panshan Huamei participated in the method taught to him by Tiger Thorn Plum, and there was no response after rubbing for a long time, only a string of gurgling sounds from the mouth of the communication worm indicating that the target had not been found.

Looking around, there was no figure of Tiger Thorn Mei in the tree bubble, Panshan Huamei came out of the tree bubble, smelled the stench of Sister Mei deliberately covering up her body and tracked it all the way, holding the two thin swords under her clothes, and the end of the thin sword was tied with silk thread, which was the weapon that Tiger Thorn Mei chose according to her combat characteristics some time ago. As he walked forward, he struggled to recall the spells and skills that Tiger Thorn Plum had taught him. Just in case you can't remember when you are nervous when you use it for a while.

The smell of Panshan Huamei turned around the unknown number of caves, the originally lively big cave became a small hole, although Panshan Huamei originated from the land, has a deep attachment to the land, but the dark cave in front of it exudes a stunning smell, Hua Mei rubbed the communication worm on her left wrist again, except for the gurgling sound, there is no reaction.

Hua Mei sniffed the smell deliberately left by the tiger thorn plum in the air, and felt that things were not good, so she changed the friction frequency, and it was passed in an instant, and Wan Nianqing's voice came from there: "What's the matter, little flower demon." ”

After a period of etiquette teaching, Hua Mei understood many rules in Shuxin City, at least Brother Ginkgo himself couldn't call it anymore. "Sister Mei went deep into the underground cave, and the communication worm couldn't get connected, and she left a lot of pheromones in me, I don't know the meaning of pheromones, can you send someone over to translate it?"
