"Why, a few guys who don't know whether they are alive or dead, they have to come to provoke the old man, can't the old man lose his temper?"

"That Zero, also dead?"

"You mean the guy with dragon scales on his arm?" Old Hailing asked.

"yes, there's one with a compass in his hand."

"The guy with dragon scales on his arm was locked by me, and I didn't see the person with the compass in his hand, I only saw a young man who could breathe fire, fire is the old man's nemesis, he escorted some people away, and the rest should be fed to the fish below."

I sat on a huge old tree floating on the surface of the sea, and there was nothing around me but the sea, and the old guy kept talking to me but never showed up.

"What the hell are you doing with me?"

"Catch?" Old Hailing asked me in a surprised tone, "The old man is saving you, don't you understand?" If you go to Gusen Academy with your extremely unstable demon bloodline, you are looking for death. ”

I looked up and down the old tree with a puzzled face, and it was no different from an ordinary tree except for its thick branches and leaves of various colors, except that it was so vibrant that it floated on the surface of the sea.

"You know about Goosen Academy?" I looked at it in amazement.

"Of course, the old man is very well-informed."

"Then tell me, why did they arrest me?"

The thick branches shook suddenly, and Lao Hailing yawned, "Naturally, I caught you because of the unpredictable demon bloodline in your body. ”

"Can the senior tell me where the demon bloodline in my body comes from?"

"At this time, it's polite, I can't be your senior, if you want to know these questions, you might as well help me interrogate the guy with dragon scales on his arms."

Lao Hailing deliberately sold off with me, just to let me help him get some words out of Zero's mouth, this is a win-win deal, I have no reason to refuse.

"You seem to be interested in him."

Lao Hailing was silent for a moment, then bypassed my question and continued: "You help me ask, I help you answer the questions in your heart, this is a very fair deal, what do you think?" ”

"Of course," I nodded, "you are strong, in this vast sea, even the ancient gods can't compare to you, and now that we are in your hands, naturally we can only do what you tell us to do." ”

"Don't play tricks with me, you just need to help me find out the origin of the dragon scales on that guy's arm, and I can tell you anything you want to know."

"Okay, it's a deal!" I patted the trunk hard.

"Don't worry," Old Hailing interrupted me, "what if I can't ask?" ”

I hesitated for a moment, "You can do whatever you want." ”

"Okay, happy!"

Before I could react, the tiny branches quickly wrapped me, and a hole was suddenly torn in the middle of the thick trunk, and the old sea spirit threw me down from the tree hole, this kind of unserious action was really a headache, my whole body lost its balance, and the tree hole seemed to have no end. The endless falling sensation continued for a long time, and suddenly a huge air bag enveloped me, and at the end of the tree hole was a pool of spring water.

"Walk through this fountain to the dungeon, and remember that you are just my prisoner like him."

I nodded, Lao Hailing's Nine Treasures Tree is like a palace that can be moved at any time, with the canopy as a cover, the trunk as a passage, and all kinds of attics inside, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have imagined that there was such a wonderful design in this world.

"Your big world in the tree is really mysterious, can you take me on a tour and then interrogate that kid for you?" I tentatively asked the old sea spirit.

"When you finish what I have explained, I will satisfy you with everything you want to know."

The old guy seemed to be particularly anxious about the zero thing, I didn't know what he was thinking about, the huge air bag opened, and I was soon taken into the spring, which was not so much a clear spring as an underwater world, and what I could see from the trunk of the tree was only a mouth the size of a spring.

Entering it, it suddenly opened up, and an unknown ghost light filled the entire space, and I didn't need to worry about breathing when I was hiding in the airbag, just like a small submarine, the airbag could reach anywhere under the control of the old sea spirit's consciousness.

As far as I could see, seaweed, corals, flattened hairtails, leisurely sea turtles, rushing tuna, and so many other creatures that I couldn't name.

As the airbag continued to move forward, it suddenly became stiff, my outstretched hand was forcibly pulled back, and some large sea creatures came into my eyes.

Further on, I saw a strange little guy, hiding in a small coral crevice, waiting for an opportunity, and before I was noticing, it suddenly pounced on my air bag, and although the little guy was knocked in the dust, I was really startled.

Passing through this underwater world, the old sea spirit's air sac sent me out of another spring-sized opening. The passage of the thick trunk was wider than the place I had entered, and the first time I walked through the passage formed by the trunk, the saltiness of the sea mixed with the fragrance of ancient trees.

Strangely enough, there were no lighting tools in the area, but the bright light filled the entire passage of the tree trunks, as if the trunks themselves would glow.

According to the guidance of the old sea spirit, I quickly found the place where Zero was being held. It was a duplex dungeon, and through the passage of the tree trunk, a huge space appeared in front of me, with intertwined roots and branches. Neat branches sprout from the wooden walls on all sides, but the greenery of the foliage is the most loyal guard in the dungeon.

The cages woven from the roots of the trees were suspended in mid-air, the cages of various shapes staggered from each other, and the branches on the wooden wall bound me, and they rudely threw me into the cage.

Below the suspended cage was a fiery red magma, strangely I didn't feel its temperature, and a few strange fish creatures roamed freely in the magma.

The cage where Zero was held was above me, and he looked like he had just been tortured, crimson blood dripping through the cracks in the roots of the tree into my cage.

"Hey! Alive, isn't it? ”

Zero squirmed his body in his dying state, "Why are you?" How did you get caught by that guy too? ”

"It's a long story, what's the matter with your injuries?"

Zero pointed to the branches on the wooden wall, "Ugly guys, use these branches to torture Lao Tzu." ”

I quickly glanced around, it was like a labyrinth, with countless tree trunk passages leading to it, not to mention so many branches guarding, even if we let us out, we might not be able to touch the door to get out.

"Have you seen the sea spirit?" I asked.

Zero shook his head, "I don't see anything but these branches. ”

"So no one asked you anything?"

"No," Zero looked at me with a puzzled expression, "Have you seen Hai Ling?" ”

I shook my head vigorously and took a closer look at the magma beneath the cage, and after a moment I looked up at Zero.

"That guy may not be as powerful as we think."

"What do you mean?" Zero looked at me in surprise.

The corners of my mouth twitched, "Do you want to go out?" ”

"Of course, you have a way?"

I smiled and nodded, it was not very difficult to get rid of the old sea spirit's control, I kept thinking about why he had to let me interrogate Zero for him, it was nothing more than two reasons, one was that he didn't want outsiders to know about his existence, and the other was that outsiders couldn't perceive his existence at all.

Old Hailing can communicate with me without any scruples, which shows that he doesn't care that others know about his existence, so there is only one reason left. Zero was caught here and tortured, but he never saw Lao Hailing, and Lao Hailing didn't even communicate with him.

This is no accident, and the fact that he needs to do things for him under the guise of someone else just shows that he is not as powerful as we see.

I looked closely at the duplex dungeon, and everything here was almost entirely wooden except for the lava beneath the cage. Lao Hailing said that he didn't see the young man with a compass in his hand, but he saw a guy who could breathe fire, I can conclude that it was Li Muqing Undoubtedly, Lao Hailing said that fire is his nemesis, and there is magma here that is more dangerous than fire.

Why would a person who is afraid of fire leave lava in his palace, this kind of thing will burn his Nine Treasure Wonderful Tree to the ground if he is not careful.

The old fellow wouldn't be so confused even if he was confused, and I didn't know why he wanted to arrest me, but I knew in my heart that he couldn't just let me interrogate Zero for him.

Old Sea Spirit has been cut off from me since I entered the dungeon, and he had been chattering with me as he walked through the underwater passages, but now there was no sign of him except for his loyal branch guards.

I stared at the magma beneath the cage, and Zero seemed to have discovered something.

"This thing doesn't seem to have any temperature!" Zero said with a frown.

"Strange," I tapped my hand on the door of my head, "the walls, the passages, the cages, and even the guards here are made of wood, and there shouldn't be magma here." ”

"Could it be~" Zero desire to say and stop, we looked at each other.

A moment later, the giant claws covered in dragon scales tore through the cage, and before the branches on the wall could react, Zero and I had lost the shackles of the cage and fell vertically into the magma.

"Poof~"

The splash of lava knocked back the branches on the wooden wall, and I couldn't imagine that I had fallen into the lava, and the fiery liquid rendered everything in front of me red.

It doesn't feel hot, but there is a hint of coldness, and it doesn't seem to be any different from ordinary seawater except that its shape is similar to lava.

Zero lay in the magma, the lacerations on his body began to reunite rapidly, and the giant claws covered with dragon scales were also changing little by little.

I dived into the lava, looking for a way out of here beneath the fiery liquid.

Unlike swimming at the bottom of the ocean before, this time I didn't have the protection of an airbag, and it didn't take long for me to surface the lava surface to breathe.
