"Could it be?" Shao Yitian looked at the old man and asked with a look of surprise.

The old man stroked his beard, nodded and said, "It seems that you have already thought of the answer, Xiaoyou, and that's it." ”

If there was a third person present, he thought that Shao Yitian and the old man were playing some dumb riddle, Shao Yitian didn't finish speaking, the old man knew what Shao Yitian was thinking, could he be Shao Yitian's stomach and would eat?

The answer that Shao Yitian came up with was that the so-called Devil Fruit was actually a trick of the Demon Tree, attracting everyone to come here to kill each other in order to extract nutrients from the Demon Tree.

Shao Yitian also saw it before, after the gorilla's corpse was pierced by the roots of the Demon Tree, it turned into a pile of white bones in one fell swoop. So, it's certain that the Demon Tree is designed to absorb nutrients from the corpses of monks and youkai.

And if the Demon Tree wants to absorb the corpses of monks and monsters as nutrients, then the Demon Tree will have to come up with some countermeasures to attract monks and monsters.

This situation is like selling lottery tickets, you just tell others that you will win the lottery if you buy your lottery ticket, and the prize will be very high, but no one believes you, because you have no basis for your words.

Only after someone else wins the jackpot from you, will others believe that they will win the jackpot if they buy your lottery ticket.

The Devil Tree obviously knows this truth as well, so it created some Devil Fruit in order to make everyone kill each other.

Since the Devil Fruit needs the nutrients of a corpse, why not make it ripen every 100 years, but 1,000 years?

Shao Yitian felt that the old man should know this question, so he asked the old man his questions.

The old man said: "The Devil Tree is very smart, if the Devil Fruit matures in a hundred years, then it will make everyone not cherish the Devil Fruit so much, you think, as a monk, a hundred years is not a long time, and the Devil Tree knows this truth very well." Also, the Devil Fruit matures every 1,000 years, and the effect is naturally better. ”

Hearing the old man's explanation, Shao Yitian suddenly realized that this was the case.

Yes, scarcity is expensive, and if the Devil Fruit is ripe in a hundred years, everyone will not fight for it like this, because a hundred years is not too long for a monk.

However, a thousand years is not a short time for monks, because monks do not have many thousand years.

In addition, the Devil Fruit matures every 1,000 years, which also makes everyone feel more precious and rare.

The Demon Tree guessed through everyone's hearts, so it had such a plan, luring everyone to die in front of it willingly, and then it absorbed nutrients.

Poisonous! This devil's tree is truly worthy of its name!

A tree has such a thoughtful and vicious idea, and it seems that this demon tree is not an ordinary tree with a good spirit, but a tree with a very high IQ.

To tell the truth, if Shao Yitian was a monk in the Heaven and Earth Enchantment Realm, and he happened to be a cultivator in the pseudo-immortal realm, maybe Shao Yitian would also be fooled, and he would also go over like a moth to a fire to grab this devil fruit.

"Little friend, are you interested in going up and eradicating this demon tree later?" the old man suddenly asked with the technique of transmitting sound into the secret.

Hearing the old man's words, Shao Yitian was taken aback, it turned out that the old man had this idea, and he wanted to destroy the Demon Tree.

The Demon Tree is hateful, but if these monks were not greedy, they would not be fooled, so in the end, it is the greed of people and monsters that is at work.

Shao Yitian looked at the old man and asked with the technique of transmitting sound into the secret, "Is it just the two of us?"

Since the Demon Tree can think of such a vicious method, it is not a general, and this Demon Tree is not easy to deal with at first glance.

Besides, to deal with this Devil Tree, those monks still have to fight with Shao Yitian and them, they are still waiting for the Devil Tree to produce Devil Fruits for them, so that their cultivation can be promoted to the peak of pseudo-immortals.

The old man said: "Xiaoyou is the peak cultivation of pseudo-immortals, as long as Xiaoyou helps me, I will definitely be able to do it." ”

Hearing the old man's words, Shao Yitian couldn't help but look at the old man again, damn it, you won't be bragging, right?

However, seeing the old man like this, it didn't look like he was bragging, Shao Yitian hesitated, hesitating whether to help the old man or not, knowing that once he took care of this idle matter, there would be unknown risks.

To help, or not to help? Shao Yitian felt that this decision was a bit difficult to make.

The old man also seemed to see Shao Yitian's difficulty, and stroked his beard with his hand with a smile and said, "Little friend, you think about it slowly, anyway, it will take some time for these monks to compete for the Devil Fruit, don't be in a hurry!"

Shao Yitian heard the old man's words, and looked at the field again, the battle between the monks and the monsters for the combat power of the Devil Fruit was even more intense, and almost a quarter of the monks were lost.

After some monks were wounded, they chose to withdraw from the battle, which is called the person who knows the times as Junjie, and if he is injured and continues to stay in this battle, that is to kill himself.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Shao Yitian finally nodded and said to the old man, "Okay, I promise you." ”

Although Shao Yitian is not a living Lei Feng, he saw so many monks and monsters killing each other in this furnace, and finally cheapened the Demon Tree.

Seeing that Shao Yitian had agreed to his invitation, the old man nodded with a smile and said, "With Xiaoyou joining, it is really like a tiger with wings." ”

Shao Yitian asked with some concern: "Old man, what if these monks and monsters stop us later?"

Although Shao Yitian is a pseudo-immortal peak flying cultivator, if he faces a monk who is excited, it will not be able to bear it!

The old man smiled and said, "Don't worry, this little friend, once the Devil Fruit is snatched away, the monks and monsters will leave this place immediately, and we will do it again when the time comes." ”

It turns out that this is the case, then in this way, I have to separate from Zuo Yuanbo and Wanfu Ancestor. It's okay, anyway, I came to the Demon Abyss this time to see if I could find clues about the pill.

Thinking of the Medicine King, and then looking at the old man beside him, Shao Yitian immediately asked, "Old man, let me ask you about someone." ”

Shao Yitian wanted to ask the old man about the Medicine King, because Shao Yitian felt that the old man was not simple, and he might know some things about the Medicine King.

The old man said, "Little friend, may I ask." ”

Shao Yitian said: "Old man, I want to ask you about the Medicine King, do you know the whereabouts of the Medicine King?"

Hearing Shao Yitian's words, the old man stroked his beard with a smile and asked, "Xiaoyou, why are you inquiring about the whereabouts of the Medicine King?"

Shao Yitian said: "I have something urgent and need the help of the Medicine King, if the old man knows the whereabouts of the Medicine King, please let the old man tell me." ”

The old man smiled and said, "Little friend, don't worry, after we solve this demon tree, I will slowly tell you about the Medicine King, do you think about it?"
