Gu Ding was stunned for a moment when the old man revealed his identity, and then nodded happily in acknowledgement.

"Clan Elder, I am indeed the one who participated in the assessment of this king's path. However, I did not come here with any ill intent, just to know about this forest. ”

Guding said, looking at the patriarch again. But this clan elder still feels like an ordinary person with no cultivation at all.

"Just ask any questions you have, and I'll try to tell you what I know." The old man smiled and nodded.

"This forest...... What the hell is going on? Are all tree rattans blood-eating and flesh-eating spirits? Gooding posed a question he wanted to know the most.

"This forest is strange because there is a demon tree in the center of the forest. It is rumored that the demon tree is a desolate ancient tree species from the eleventh layer of purgatory, which was planted here by the mighty, and now hundreds of epochs have passed. It is said that the innate qualification of that demon tree is comparable to that of a human saint-level demon, and after so many years in this path of kings, it has devoured endless flesh and blood, and has long evolved to the saint king level. If it weren't for the rules of this world, I'm afraid it would have become a king long ago. ”

"Such a powerful ......" Gu Ding felt a little incredible when he heard it, but he also knew that if he changed to a human race saint-level demon, there was a great chance of cultivating into a seven-star lord in hundreds of epochs, and if he was promoted to a saint king-level qualification, it was normal for hundreds of epochs to become kings, and even transcended kings.

"According to the information I have received, this demon tree is much stronger than the Human Saint King. It had one hundred and eight branches, and the attacks from each branch were comparable to the full force of a Saint King-level powerhouse. Its branches, attacks under the Holy King could not cause the slightest damage. Moreover, it has a large amount of qi, blood and life force in its body, and any trauma can be repaired instantly. The only drawback is that you can't move your position. ”

"The fruit produced by such a demon tree should contain a huge amount of energy, right?" When Gooding heard this, his heart moved.

Hearing Gu Ding's question, the old man's eyes suddenly widened, and he seemed to have guessed what Gu Ding was thinking, and nodded, "That's right, this demon tree will bear fruit once in each era, and it will give birth to 108 blood-colored fruits each time." After fruiting, one is dropped every year and absorbed by itself. When all the fruits on the branches are dropped, the demon tree will bloom, and each time the flowers bloom for 30,000 years, the fragrance will float for millions of miles, and then the petals will fall off and give birth to new fruits again. ”

"During the period when the fruit of the Demon Tree is not ripe, the Demon Tree is the most dangerous, as all 108 branches will attack. On the other hand, after the Demon Tree fruit is ripe, it is the safest time. Because, the branches of the fruit will not participate in the attack. ”

"What state should that demon tree be in right now?" Gooding asked with some urgency.

"It's in the fruiting period, but there should be just over thirty fruits left." The old man replied.

"Understood." Gooding nodded with satisfaction, the information about the demon tree had already made him very rewarding. "Clan Elder, you said so much about the demon tree, what does this forest have to do with the demon tree?"

"This was originally a barren land, and it took many years for this forest to appear after the demon tree was planted. All the trees in this forest are derivative lifeforms of the demon tree, and it has too much life energy to digest, so this forest was created, and as more and more energy accumulates, the area of this forest is getting bigger and bigger. All the trees in this forest are actually equivalent to a tentacle of the demon tree, and the dynamics of all the living forms that enter the forest are perceived by the demon tree at the first time. ”

"You mean, all the plants in this forest will attack other lifeforms under the control of the demon tree?" Gooding's brow furrowed slightly.

"Not all plants, only plants that have been around for more than a million years have a sense of aggression. Those under a million years old are just ordinary plants, not aggressive, only probing. ”

"However, now that hundreds of epochs have passed, isn't the number of plants that have existed for more than a million years terrifying?" Gooding was terrible to think about.

"It's not that simple, the demon tree is restricted by the rules here and can't grow above the Saint King. Its derivative lifeforms are similarly restricted. Every once in a while, natural disasters occur in this forest, destroying plants that are more than a million years old. Only those plants that are less than a million years old and have not produced consciousness will not be affected by natural disasters. If it weren't for the existence of the natural calamity, with the ability of the demon tree, it would have expanded its domain to every corner of this world long ago. But even if there are natural disasters, the number of plants in this forest with a sense of aggression accounts for more than 30%. ”

"Scourge, what is it?" Gooding asked with some curiosity.

"Disasters from the sky, such as wind, fire, thunder, and ice, every time a natural disaster comes, a large number of plants with a sense of attack die. Especially when a plant is about to break through to the Holy King, the coming of the natural disaster will be extremely powerful, strangling it in the cradle. So up to now, in the entire forest, there is only one Saint King level plant of the Demon Tree. ”

"Although this forest is dangerous, as long as you don't provoke that demon tree, it's actually a good place to cultivate. You should have already discovered that slaying the plant spirits here will give you a large amount of energy and law fragments. These are actually all emanated from the demon tree's body after it is absorbed and saturated. As for the fruit of the demon tree, the energy contained in it is more refined, and the fragments of the law are more complete. There were even a few Saint Lord-level demons with outstanding talents in the past, who swallowed enough law fragments to achieve Saint Kings! ”

This part of the information given by the patriarch made Gu Ding's eyes light up. He had already achieved the Saint King, and the Law Fragment didn't mean much to him, but for Liliat, Bigg and the others, this forest was very likely to be a great opportunity for them to break through the Saint King.

"The fruit of the demon tree must be obtained!" Gooding secretly made up his mind.

"Clan Elder, do you know the specific location of the demon tree?" Gooding asked.

"I have a map here, but it's just ......" the clan elder said this, his tone paused, and then he looked at Guding, his eyes revealing a hint of cunning, "The map can't be given to you in vain." ”

"It's natural, I can trade things for it." Gooding didn't think about getting someone's map for free in the first place, he just didn't know what to exchange it for.

"I want a demon tree fruit." The clan elder stared at Gu Ding Dao, he was a little afraid that Gu Ding would refuse this request, after all, it was not so easy to obtain the Demon Tree Fruit.

"Yes." Gooding frowned slightly, but finally agreed.

It's not that Gu Ding thinks that the value of the Demon Tree Fruit is far more than the map, but that the old man deliberately said about the Demon Tree Fruit from the beginning, as if he was calculating himself, which made him a little uncomfortable.

The clan elder slowly took a leather map from his bosom and handed it to Guding.

"Aren't you afraid that if I take the map, I won't come back?" Gooding asked with a smile.

"I've lived for so many years, I've seen enough things, and if I can't come back, it's all your choice." After the patriarch finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Gu Ding's unhappiness in his heart eased slightly, and he bowed his hand towards the clan elder and turned to leave.

Not long after Gu Ding left, the clan elder Youyou opened his eyes and looked up at the sky outside the window, "If it weren't for the fact that the old man was about to die, he was really desperate, and he wouldn't have been so cheeky to calculate a junior...... Ay...... Shame on you, ......" (To be continued.) )
