Chapter 263: The Secret of the Locust Tree
Millet then looked in the direction of the lightning and thunder, and he suddenly realized that the center of this abnormal movement was actually the location of the big pit he had been in earlier.
Although Xiaomi was curious, he did not dare to approach the direction of the big pit, because just the deafening thunder aftermath had already frightened him, if it was close to half a minute, Xiaomi believed that he would be killed by the lightning falling from the sky.
Xiaomi watched the thunder and lightning flash in the sky, wreaking havoc in the big pit and constantly swimming, and it took about ten minutes to go.
The sky was calm again, and the earth was peaceful, if it weren't for the fact that Xiaomi had just witnessed the scene just now, he would have wondered if he had a dream in broad daylight.
For Xiaomi, after all, he had been in the big pit for a few years, and driven by curiosity, after some thought, he decisively turned back in the direction of the big pit.
When Xiaomi returned to the big pit, I saw that the periphery of the big pit was intact and there was no damage, but the center of the big pit, especially the location of the locust tree, was really dilapidated, and I couldn't bear to look at it directly.
Especially at this time, the big locust tree was directly split into charcoal, although the tree shape is still there, but millet can clearly perceive that the consciousness of the previous big locust tree no longer exists.
Not only that, but even the grass and tree spirits that had gathered before the big locust tree had escaped at this time, leaving only the big locust tree standing alone in the center.
Seeing this, Millet couldn't help but sigh at the impermanence of the world, as if she was saddened by the sudden death of the big locust tree.
Then, Xiaomi took a few more steps forward, trying to see the appearance of the big locust tree.
After all, Xiaomi has been in the pit for so long, and it was only some time ago that he was freed.
Before he could take a closer look at the appearance of the big locust tree, he was scared away by the indifferent aura of the big locust tree.
Millet took a few steps forward, then reached out a hand and stroked the trunk of the locust tree.
At the same time, scenes kept flashing in Xiaomi's mind, although Xiaomi was flustered, but he saw that these images only flashed in his mind, but they did not hurt him in any way.
Xiaomi's heart also settled, and at the same time closed his eyes and carefully perceived these images.
At this point, Xiaomi discovered that these pictures were actually the life of the big locust tree, from its birth as a sapling planted on the mountain, to the scene when it grew into a towering tree and stood on the mountain col.
Through these memories, Xiaomi learned that the big locust tree is actually not bad in nature, and it has been resting and recuperating step by step for hundreds of years, and has not done anything harmful to yin morality.
It's just that a few decades ago, it suddenly discovered that due to the impact of the war, it actually hurt his roots.
As a result, he should have had a few hundred years of life, but he actually began to pass rapidly, and advanced the stage of the five decays of heaven and man.
This heavenly and human five decays are a stage that people, gods, immortals, Buddhas, demons, and demons all have to go through, but the way they manifest themselves is slightly different.
For human beings, their five decays are the end of their lives, until the oil runs out.
For gods, immortals, Buddhas, demons, and demons, the five decays of heaven and man are both an end and an opportunity.
The five decays of heaven and man will gradually make their momentum, cultivation, and strength gradually fall to the lowest point, which is a manifestation of their imminent death.
But at the same time, it is also an opportunity for them to break out of their cocoons and become butterflies, and they will be born after death.
If they survive this catastrophe, they will not only regain their strength in the future, but even go further.
Of course, if it can't hold on, it will be a return to dust, and everything will wither.
And the big locust tree suddenly came to this stage.
Originally, I didn't recruit anyone and didn't mess with anyone, I lived well, and I still had a few hundred years of life.
I plan that my incarnation will not be long before it can take shape, and then I will not be bound by this tree body, and I can go to see the outside world.
The big locust tree, which was originally planned to be good, suddenly found that it only had a few decades of lifespan left, how could it accept it.
Since then, the big locust tree has begun to use all means to find a way to prolong its life as much as possible, or to restore its longevity.
To this end, the big locust tree has made a lot of efforts.
It's a pity that it backfired, and what the big locust tree did didn't buy him more time.
It wasn't until a few years ago that the big locust tree watched itself grow old and its consciousness gradually blurred, and it thought of a forbidden method in its heart.
One is the method of repairing the lost essence, improving cultivation, and prolonging life.
However, because this spell is too vicious, it is listed as a taboo list.
With the mentality of a last fight, the big locust tree targeted the group of monkeys gathered near him.
The locust tree waited for the monkeys to come and play on its branches, and attacked it brazenly.
The essence blood of these monkeys was sucked clean, and only a pair of withered skin and bones remained.
Although this method is too cruel, its benefits are obvious.
The big locust tree finds itself in the passing of life. It actually got a little bit of compensation, although this little compensation is minimal, but it is at least better than nothing.
Since then, the Great Locust Tree has developed a strong dependence on this technique, and has become out of control, and has begun to eat the creatures around him.
Because the big locust tree's actions disturbed the nearby creatures, there were no more creatures around him.
At the same time, because the Great Locust Tree has not yet practiced its incarnation, it cannot find living beings in person.
Instead, he gathered a group of grass and wood spirits around him who did not have much intelligence, and gave them grace and power to drive them to serve him.
In later times, because the locust tree devoured so many livestock, that the current animal essence blood has almost no effect on it.
As a last resort, the big locust tree had to put his mind on the living.
For the first time, when the grass and tree spirits were allowed to capture living people and eat them, the big locust tree was full of fear.
After all, human society is not like the law of the jungle, and the disappearance of someone will inevitably attract others to search for them, for fear that if they are not careful, they will be burned.
However, after the big locust tree sucked a living person, it suddenly found that the effect of this living person was actually equivalent to the essence blood of dozens of livestock.
Not only that, but the body of the big locust tree, which he thought would take hundreds of years to condense, began to condense in his body after he sucked the first living person.
As soon as he saw this benefit, the greed in the heart of the big locust tree suddenly overcame fear.
Since then, humans have become the main food therapy for the locust tree.
It's just that because of the prudence of the big locust tree, it does not eat, eat, and suck human essence and blood every day.
It's just every three or five times,
