Chapter 481: Helpless
Chen Ziyang stepped forward with his sword and walked into the light curtain composed of light points emanating from the soul's body. The sparkling light fell on him, and then vanished.
After these points of light disappeared, a cold feeling spread throughout Chen Ziyang's body, although all the souls here were sucked into the ancient tree, but there were too many souls gathered here, and the points of light emitted from the souls alone could make people feel a kind of cold air, which showed the strength of the mana contained in these souls. Chen Ziyang couldn't imagine what this Dryad would grow into after all the souls were sucked into the Dryad's body.
After hundreds of years of planning, the dryad has gathered tens of thousands of souls here, and these souls have been transformed here for more than two thousand years, and the power contained in the soul is no longer something he can understand.
Looking at the ancient trees full of new shoots, Chen Ziyang felt that plants were really amazing, there was no creature in the world that could live for more than 2,000 years, but plants could. At this moment, the ancient tree in front of him has been rejuvenated after more than 2,000 years of death. It's no wonder that those dragon blood strains in the dryad's body have such magical effects.
When approaching the ancient tree, Chen Ziyang walked very slowly, carefully guarding his surroundings. The dryad should already know about his arrival, and the dryad at this time has already recovered some of its mana, and it may not be so easy to deal with it.
But at this time, the dryad seemed to be still focused on absorbing souls, and did not appear immediately to stop Chen Ziyang. Chen Ziyang, who came to the vicinity of the ancient tree, raised the Xuanming Ancient Sword in his hand and stabbed it at the root of the trunk.
He used eight points of strength for this sword, and Chen Ziyang felt that if the Dryad was really hiding in this ancient tree, then he should leave some leeway to prevent the Xuanming Ancient Sword from stabbing too deeply, and if it was stuck in the trunk of the tree, it would be difficult to pull it out again. After all, the Dryad's movements are very flexible, and if you delay a little time when drawing your sword, you are likely to be seized by the Dryad.
But what Chen Ziyang didn't expect was that the Xuanming Ancient Sword he stabbed with eight points of strength didn't even pierce the bark, but only made a small dent on the surface of the trunk.
Chen Ziyang's face showed an expression of disbelief, he knew the sharpness of the Xuanming Ancient Sword, and he couldn't imagine that such a sharp sword would have no effect on this ancient tree. You must know that the Xuanming Ancient Sword was able to cut off the arm of the Dryad's natal seed in the hands of Yang Lei, who had no mana, which is enough to prove that the Xuanming Ancient Sword has a restraining effect on the Dryad.
But now the Xuanming Ancient Sword stabbed in the past but it had no effect, Chen Ziyang's heart was a little hairy, he hurriedly withdrew the Xuanming Ancient Sword, took the sword in his hand, turned the stab into a split, and attacked the ancient tree again.
This time, Chen Ziyang, who was holding the Xuanming Ancient Sword and slashing at the ancient tree, used a lot of strength, and the ancient sword turned from a thorn to a chop, and the destructive power should be much greater.
After the sound of "dang", Chen Ziyang was shocked back several steps while holding the Xuanming Ancient Sword, and after the Xuanming Ancient Sword slashed on the ancient tree, there was a sound of gold and iron clashing, Chen Ziyang felt that the sword he had just now seemed to be not chopping on the tree, but on a boulder.
Chen Ziyang, who was shaken back, only felt that his arms were numb, and a painful feeling instantly came from the tiger's mouth in his right hand. Seeing Chen Ziyang being shaken back, Yang Lei hurriedly ran over in a few steps and stabilized Chen Ziyang with both hands.
"Buzzing ......" After the Xuanming Ancient Sword slashed, there was a buzzing sound from the trunk of the ancient tree, and the sound of the ancient sword chopping on the ancient tree echoed in the trunk.
"That's right, the trunk of this ancient tree is empty, otherwise there would be no such echo, but this ancient tree is too hard, how can it be broken?" After shaking his numb hands, Chen Ziyang said to himself.
"Isn't it easy to do hollow? The Dryad must be hiding inside, let's climb to the top of the tree and stab down from above, there is no hard old tree to protect the Dryad. Yang Lei said.
Although what Yang Lei said made some sense, Chen Ziyang felt that this method was not feasible. The trunk of the tree is indeed hollow, but at this time, the hole above the trunk has been completely filled with a pillar of light composed of souls, and if you really climb above the trunk, you must face these souls head-on.
Looking at the thicker and brighter pillars of light, Chen Ziyang shook his head, he didn't want to use the method Yang Lei said, until the last resort, he didn't want to directly face the souls of these inhabitants of the ancient kingdom, after all, the power contained in these souls was too strong, Chen Ziyang felt that he was not completely sure that he could deal with it.
Then he put away the Xuanming Ancient Sword and took the Soul Suppression Paperweight in his hand. Chen Ziyang knew that his reliance on dealing with the Dryad was only the Soul Suppression Paperweight in addition to the Xuanming Ancient Sword, and now that the Xuanming Ancient Sword was useless, he could only try the effect of the paperweight.
Before, Chen Ziyang bit his middle finger when he woke up Yang Lei, and after holding the Xuanming Ancient Sword and slashing it hard, the wound on his middle finger was shocked open, and blood flowed out of the wound again. After smearing the soul suppression seal under the soul suppression paperweight with the blood on his middle finger, he stepped forward again, holding the soul suppression paperweight and slapped it on the trunk of the ancient tree.
"Pop" Soul Suppression Paperweight was firmly printed on the trunk of the ancient tree, and when Chen Ziyang took back the Soul Suppression Paperweight, he saw that the pattern of the Soul Suppression Seal smeared with his own blood was printed on the trunk of the ancient tree, but after waiting for a few seconds, there was still no response.
This was to be expected. After all, the key to the soul seal is the word "soul", and at this time, in front of him is an extremely hard ancient tree, and it is indeed a little inappropriate for the soul seal to be used here, but Chen Ziyang, who has no other way, still wants to try it.
After seeing that the soul seal was useless, Chen Ziyang took out a pile of spirit runes from his body, and stacked the spirit runes neatly, he clamped the end of this pile of spirit runes with both hands, and then Chen Ziyang's two palms rotated in the opposite direction, and the rune paper of the spirit rune instantly unfolded under the squeezing of his palm, turning into a fan.
Chen Ziyang pinched the spirit rune with one hand, and with the other hand, he slashed the blood of his middle finger on the fan composed of spirit runes, so that each spirit rune was stained with a little of his own blood, and then he threw the spirit rune towards the top of the tree trunk, wanting to use these spirit runes to stop the ancient tree from absorbing souls.
A large handful of runes flew towards the base of the pillar of light, but before the runes could get close to the central pillar of light, the light emanating from the soul came into contact with them.
The moment each piece of rune paper touched these points of light, it instantly burst into flames, and after only a few seconds, all the rune paper turned to ashes, falling with the light of the stars. Even the closest talisman to the trunk of the tree was still far away from the trunk, and it was impossible to get close to it at all.
After seeing that the Xuanming Ancient Sword and the Soul Suppression Seal and his own spirit runes had no effect on this ancient tree, Chen Ziyang raised his head and looked at the top of the ancient tree, then he gritted his teeth and turned around and shouted to Yang Lei: "Next." ”
After throwing his backpack to Yang Lei, Chen Ziyang pinned the Xuanming Ancient Sword to his waist, held the handle of the Soul Suppression Array Law Enforcement Weapon in his mouth, and used both hands and feet together to climb towards the top of this ancient tree.
Now Chen Ziyang's heart is beating a drum, and he really doesn't know how to deal with this ancient tree. I can only try the method that Yang Lei said.
Although he knew that his soul suppression paperweight should have a restraining effect on the souls of the inhabitants of these ancient kingdoms, after all, the number of souls here was too much, and the mana contained in the soul was also very strong, he didn't know if the small soul suppression paperweight in his hand could play its due role.
The trunk of the ancient tree was only more than three meters high, Chen Ziyang stood on the ground and jumped up, and after climbing a few more times, he approached the highest point of the trunk of the ancient tree. But now Chen Ziyang, who is close to the tree hole, can't climb anymore.
In the few seconds he was climbing the tree, Chen Ziyang felt the coldness he had never felt before. A large number of souls were injected into the trunk of the tree, and when Chen Ziyang climbed up, he was much closer to these souls.
At the top of the trunk of the ancient tree, a large amount of yin qi emitted from the soul was gathered, and Chen Ziyang, who had entered these yin qi, felt that his limbs would immediately stop obeying, and even he felt that his blood had been frozen.
Chen Ziyang, who had stiff limbs, saw that the trunk of the ancient tree in front of the tip of his nose was getting farther and farther away from him, and he knew that he had fallen backwards.
"Eryang, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Chen Ziyang fall down on his back facing the sky, Yang Lei hurriedly ran over, helped Chen Ziyang's upper body up, and then pulled him to a position far away from the ancient tree.
Although his body did not obey the call, Chen Ziyang's head was still quite clear, and he hurriedly used the mana of his whole body to run around his whole body according to the mental method of closing qigong, so that his mana could expel the yin qi in his body.
Fortunately, these yin qi in Chen Ziyang's body is not too much, and at the same time, his mana also has a certain restraint effect on these yin qi, coupled with the operation of the closed qigong mental method can mediate the functions of the human body in the shortest possible time, after running the mana in a circle, Chen Ziyang opened his mouth violently and spit out a large mouthful of cold air.
This cold breath was spit out of his mouth, just like the breath exhaled from a person's mouth on a three-winter wax moon day of more than minus 20 degrees, and the white mist was quickly dissipated after being sprayed out.
After exhaling this breath of yin qi, Chen Ziyang immediately felt the existence of his limbs again, and after slowly standing up with Yang Lei's support, he hurriedly moved his hands and feet.
"No, the yin qi on it is too heavy, and it can't go up at all." Chen Ziyang felt that his actions just now were too reckless, because he was worried that the Dryad's mana would increase by one point every second, so he made a big mistake, that is, he did something beyond his ability.
The sheer number of these souls, and the long time it took to transform, have been far beyond their imagination, not only themselves, but even their own old Taoist masters have never seen such souls. These souls are just taken out and put anywhere, they are a ghost-like existence, and at this time, there are no less than tens of thousands of such souls here.
If it weren't for the absorption of this ancient tree, just at such a close distance, the yin qi emitted by these souls would be enough to freeze two people into popsicles. Chen Ziyang now has a feeling of helplessness.
"I'll go to your grandma's." Seeing that Chen Ziyang almost put his life into it, Yang Lei scolded, and ran towards the ancient tree with the sapper shovel in his hand, and two steps later he came to the ancient tree and waved the sapper shovel desperately, cutting off the roots of the ancient tree that were exposed to the ground.
"When...... When ...... "The roots of the ancient tree were as hard as the trunk of the ancient tree, and after three or five chops, Yang Lei also felt that his tiger's mouth was shaken and painful, and he could only use his numb arm to hold the sapper shovel and walk back dejectedly.
"What now? Let's just watch, if there is no other way, I think the two of us should turn around and leave, now the dryad is still absorbing the soul, there is no time to deal with us, if we wait until the dryad recovers its mana, we won't even have time to run, and we may save our lives if we go now. Yang Lei said tentatively in Chen Ziyang's ear.
"Let's go? Where can we go? According to the current absorption level, it will not be long before all these souls will be absorbed by this ancient tree.
When I was connecting with the Dryad's soul before, I got a lot of information from it, many of the inhabitants of the Ancient Kingdom of Dryad fled and walked into the desert dozens of kilometers away from the Ancient Kingdom of Dryad, but none of those people went out, they all died under the power of the Dryad, and their souls were all sucked back, do you think we can go that far? ”
"What then? Are we just here waiting to die? ”
"Don't make a noise, let me think about it." Chen Ziyang said while staring at the upper part of the ancient tree.
When he had just climbed onto the ancient tree and fell down on his back to the sky, Chen Ziyang seemed to see two very strange marks at the top of the trunk of the ancient tree.
Because he had been in a hurry to deal with the Dryad, Chen Ziyang lost his due calm, and after being invaded by the Yin Qi in his soul, he calmed down instead.
Judging from the traces at the top of this ancient tree, this ancient tree should have been destroyed by an external force, and this ancient tree was hidden deep under the body of the Dryad, and this location should be inaccessible to the residents of the Jade Mi Ancient Kingdom.
In other words, this ancient tree was not destroyed by the inhabitants of the ancient kingdom of Sumi during the previous human-tree war, so what was the upper part of this ancient tree lost by something?
While thinking about these questions, Chen Ziyang slowly moved his steps, slowly rotating around the trunk of the ancient tree in the center, trying to find the two traces left on the trunk of the ancient tree he had just seen.
After moving a few steps horizontally around the trunk of the ancient tree, Chen Ziyang stopped and looked carefully at the top of the trunk of the ancient tree.
