Chapter 863: Twists and turns
But what about the tree in front of him? It has nothing to do with the fire tree at all, and if it were not for its trunk, it would not have been burned to ashes by the flames, which is basically equivalent to a dead tree with nothing to burn, and only a little bit of charcoal fire left to linger there.
"You ...... Didn't you look for another source of fire?" Looking at the candle-like ember wood in the wind, Cang Wunian asked with some reluctance.
"Hey, how can you not look for it? Yan Gong sighed, then waved his hand, "Come on, these are not things you need to worry about. Try it first and see if this spark can calcine the roots of your sacred tree. ”
Cang Wunian turned his head to look at Feng Yan, and saw that the woman nodded to him helplessly. After thinking about it, Cang Wunian still took out the root of the Dragon Blood Divine Tree, and with a gentle wave of his hand, the root landed steadily on one of the flickering branches of the Ember Wood.
At first, the roots and branches of the tree did not react in any way, especially the roots of the Dragon's Blood Divine Tree, which seemed to have just met ordinary flames, and did not have the slightest tendency to turn red or black.
Seeing this scene, Cang Wunian and Feng Yan couldn't help but sigh secretly in their hearts, it seemed that the power of the one-star spark taken out of the Zhurong Fire was really not strong enough.
However, after another moment, a surprising scene occurred: a small flame suddenly appeared at the place where the root of the dragon blood divine tree met the branch of the ember wood.
The flames were red and bright, constantly flickering and jumping under the mountain wind, and they looked like a naughty child playing hide and seek with his friends.
"It's on, the roots of the tree are burning!" said Feng Annihilation in surprise.
As soon as her words fell, as if to continue to ignite their hope, the red flame suddenly surged upwards again, and the flames immediately swelled up, twice as large as when they first appeared.
"This ...... Could it be that the roots of your divine tree can still fuel the fire of this fire?" Yan Gong's eyes widened and he muttered incredulously.
Immediately after, I saw that the fire was getting brighter and brighter, and the flame was getting higher and higher, and the originally dying spark seemed to have encountered something that was very easy to ignite, and it suddenly became energetic, and soon wrapped the roots of the sacred tree in the raging flames.
Under the gaze of the three of them, the surface of the roots of the tree began to gradually change, first emitting a faint red light, and then slowly turning black.
Cang Wunian's heart was like a fluttering flame, beating wildly and weakly, he subconsciously hugged Feng Yan's waist, and said with some excitement: "The power of this flame can really calcine the roots of the sacred tree, it seems that it won't be long before our ink will fall." ”
Feng Yan glanced sideways at the man's side face that looked shining in the light of the firelight, and at the same time there was an inexplicable feeling of joy in his heart.
Long Ear had been curled up in the woman's elbow socket, and at this time he couldn't help but poke out his little head, a pair of round eyes full of surprise staring at the scene in front of him, if he hadn't already understood the power of the fire on this ember wood before, he might really be able to jump on the branch and want to play with the flames at this moment.
Just when everyone thought that the roots of the tree would burn the flame more and more, and finally turn into a black charcoal in the flames, a shocking scene appeared.
It was a strange sight, as all the branches on the ember wood that emitted a faint glow like charcoal fire suddenly rose with a small flame, as if the flames that had gathered in the center of the branches suddenly came out, and all gathered on the surface of the branches.
At first glance, this seems to be a good thing, at least at this time, the ember wood has already shown the appearance of a burning fire tree, as if the flame on the tree is the leaves of the tree, and the more the flame burns, the more vigorous the tree will be.
But the truth is the opposite, the flame that suddenly rushed to the surface of the branch not only did not give people a feeling of vitality, but was like the return of this sacred tree, trying its last bit of strength to fully release the flame in its branch, just to bloom its last prosperity.
"What's going on?" Cang Wunian gave Yan Gong a surprised look.
But Yan Gong could still hear others asking him at this time, and when he saw the flames on the branches of the Ember Wood released, the thoughts in his head exploded like fireworks, as the oldest old man of the Fire Light Beast clan here, of course he knew what this phenomenon meant.
The source of fire on which they live is on the verge of death, and the flame will be completely extinguished after it blooms.
Just as he was waiting for the fire to bloom and disappear like fireworks, something happened to him that made him stunned: he saw clusters of small flames as if they had grown legs, and quickly swam towards the location of the root of the dragon's blood divine tree.
If you regard the Ember Wood at this time as a person who practices martial arts, and the clusters of flames as the true qi in his body, then the way the flames move at this moment is as if this person who practices martial arts has gone mad, and the true qi in his body is reversed, and he quickly rushes towards a certain acupuncture point - and the location where the root of the Divine Tree is located is the acupuncture point where the true qi pours into.
If this Ember Wood is really a martial arts practitioner, and his true qi does not obey the call for such a reversal, it will not be long before he explodes and dies.
However, Ember Wood is not a human after all, and no matter how much the flames gather, it is impossible to burn it out, so the scene in front of him quickly developed into the fact that all the flames in the Ember Wood quickly gathered on the body of the Divine Wood Root, as if he would not give up until he burned this foreign invader to ashes.
When the last flame on the Ember Wood also merged into the army of flames burning the roots of the Divine Tree, Yan Gong muttered in disbelief, "Flames...... It was transferred by itself?"
"Transfer?" Cang Wunian and Feng Annihilation let out a cry of surprise at the same time.
As if he hadn't heard their words, Yan Gong shook his head lightly and said, "Impossible, this flame is obviously going to be extinguished, how can there be any energy left to transfer?"
"They...... They seem to be planning to die together. Xiao Chang'er suddenly said timidly.
This should have been a child's saying, a child's whimsical statement, but it was just such a sentence that sounded a little inexplicable, but it was a sentence that woke up the person in the dream.
Seeing that Cang Wunian, Feng Annihilation, and Yan Gong's complexion immediately changed, Yan Gong's color changed because he understood that the flame on the Ember Wood was not released because it should be extinguished tonight, if it weren't for the intervention of the tree roots that didn't know where to come, maybe this fire source could continue to burn for another hundred and eighty years.
And Cang Wunian and Feng Annihilation were shocked by the sentence "Die together" in Chang'er's sentence. In all fairness, whether or not the spark of Zhurong Fire would be extinguished was not what they really cared about, what they cared about was whether the roots of the Dragon Blood Divine Tree could be completely calcined into charcoal.
In fact, according to the speed at which the flame wrapped around the burning tree roots at the beginning, it should be done in less than an hour.
As a result, the fire suddenly went wrong, and it burst out with all the remaining power and rushed towards the roots of the Divine Tree, which was not even intended to be left for them!
After a short period of astonishment, he heard Cang Wunian let out a low roar of "Oops", and then he didn't care if the flames would burn him, so he reached out at the roots of the Divine Tree in the center of the flames, he couldn't watch the roots of the Divine Tree being burned to ashes in the flames.
"Ah Nian, don't!" Feng Yan immediately came back to his senses and hurriedly spoke to stop him, but at this time, Cang Wunian's hand was almost touching the flame surrounding the root of the tree.
Maybe this night was destined to be full of twists and turns and unexpected things, just when Feng Yan's mind suddenly went blank and his heart was in his throat, another strange scene happened.
I saw that the flame that tightly surrounded the roots of the Divine Tree was about to scorch to the fingertips of Cang Wunian, and suddenly made a soft "boom", and then instantly turned into small sparks and flew into the air.
Everything happened very suddenly, without even a little excessive time, and the flames that were burning and struggling desperately a moment ago suddenly turned into little sparks and flew into the air, and then turned into nothingness.
After all, Cang Wunian's hand still didn't touch the root of the Dragon Blood Divine Tree, because when all the flames dissipated, the Divine Tree root placed on the branch of the Ember Wood fell from the branch as if it had lost its supporting power.
The surface of the tree roots that fell to the ground was pitch black, and there was a faint wisp of white smoke, which was very much in line with the appearance of a section of the roots after being burned by the flames.
Cang Wunian felt as if his heart had sunk to the bottom with the scene of the tree roots falling to the ground, he lowered his head with some difficulty and looked at the black roots on the ground that were emitting white smoke, and then leaned down stiffly, and reached out to pick it up with a slight trembling hand.
There was still some warmth on the roots, but it was far less hot than expected.
Cang Wunian took a deep breath and gently rubbed his fingers on the surface of the tree root, he admitted that he was very nervous at this moment, he was afraid that if he rubbed it like this, the tree root would turn into fine black ash in his hand, and it would be blown away by the wind before he could do anything.
However, fortunately, his fingers rubbed lightly on the roots of the tree, and it was true that the black ash was rubbed, but the amount was very rare.
Cang Wunian's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly rubbed it on the other side of the tree root, and soon, his palm was covered with black ash, but the tree root was revealed from the blackness.
