Chapter 52: Burning the Tree

"It's a pity, the Jianning army behind him is about to arrive. Otherwise, this seat is very willing to send people and horses to go up this giant tree to find the legendary true immortal. ”

"Burn!"

With the order of Generalissimo Guo, countless soldiers gathered around the giant tree of Zhushi Town, raised torches and threw them at the giant tree. As soon as the flames touched the tree wall, they quickly ignited. The tongue of fire soared like a bolt of lightning, engulfing half of the giant tree beneath the clouds. And the tongue of fire was still jumping upward, directly dyeing the black clouds in the night sky red.

The fire kept rising, but when everyone under the tree looked up, no one could see how far the flames had spread. Because the giant tree is really raised.

In the midst of the chaos, when all the soldiers threw the torches in their hands together, one soldier missed for a moment and threw the torch that was supposed to be thrown at the giant tree into the abyss. He secretly exclaimed, if he was seen by the brutal and murderous Generalissimo Guo, he would definitely be executed on the spot.

Thankfully, everyone's attention was focused on the burning tree, and no one noticed that their hands were slipping.

"It's so dangerous......"

The nameless soldier sighed in his heart. He lowered his head and followed the torch all the way to the light, looking at the unfathomable abyss beneath the giant tree.

The torch that fell into the abyss kept falling and falling...... That little spark is getting smaller and smaller......

Suddenly, the soldier's eyes flashed. His pupils shrank to two, and he felt like he was seeing something he shouldn't have seen.

"That's ......"

In the midst of the chaos of people, no one except the soldier saw the torch that had fallen into the abyss, and what the torch shone out of the hurry. As if he couldn't believe what he was seeing, the soldier craned his neck forward at the edge of the abyss, trying to see what was hidden in the abyss.

Silently, a pair of black hands reached out from the abyss, gently wrapped their arms around the soldier's neck, and dragged him into the abyss. Of all the soldiers in his vicinity, none of them noticed that a companion was missing.

......

Zizizizi......

The blazing fire, which reached into the sky, had been going on for three full hours. However, the soldiers under the giant tree were more and more surprised to find that the burning giant tree was still standing in the middle of the abyss, and there was no intention of being destroyed or even collapsed by the fire. No one could have imagined that this giant tree, made entirely of wood, could last so long in the light of the fire, as if it were not a wooden tree at all, but an iron tree.

"Great Rule. The two subordinates walked to Generalissimo Guo's side, first glanced back at the fire tree that was already burning wildly, attached it to Generalissimo Guo's ear, and said softly: "I can't stay here anymore, the army of the Jianning Army is already two hundred miles away, and it can rush here at any time." ”

"You have to see this giant tree burn to the ground. "I don't know why, the black-robed demon Dao's ears are so good, he walked over and stood between the two generals, and suggested to the generalissimo, "This giant tree is a giant tree that leads to the sky. If it falls into the hands of the Marquis of Jianning, he is equivalent to having a key to the sky. In the next big battle, does the general think he can still win him?"

"Bastard, if we don't leave now, when the Marquis of Jianning comes, all of us will die here, what are we talking about later?" a general was furious and scolded angrily at the black-robed demon dao.

Now several generals in this army hate this demon in their hearts, and they don't know what his real purpose is, so they come up with some whimsical and ridiculous ideas.

Another general with a tiger's back also walked up, looked at the black-robed demon coldly and said, "Old Dao, if you really care so much about this matter, then you might as well stay here alone." Title you a general, anyway, if anything happens at that time, you have the right to deal with it alone, how about it?"

Not to be outdone, the black-robed old man responded: "Hehe, if the Jianning Army comes here......

"Don't make any noise!" Suddenly, Generalissimo Guo, who was looking up at the fire, interrupted the conversation between the two sides at the same time and said sharply.

"Generalissimo Guo!" There were also several generals around him who came out of the military formation, still trying to change the generalissimo's mind.

"Say no more, I have made up my mind. Generalissimo Guo did not give them a chance to speak, "Let's stop here for another half hour." Half an hour later, whether the tree is burned or not, we must all get out of here. ”

In the middle of the military formation, someone let out a slight sigh.

"Good. The black-robed old man said softly, and then retreated.

......

Generalissimo Guo sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes closed. He was waiting, waiting for the result in half an hour. After their arrival in this strange town, their own army has been delayed by this giant tree for too much. Half an hour later, no matter what the outcome, they must get out of here.

The time is almost up, and I don't know how far the giant tree has burned.

Just when Generalissimo Guo felt a little sleepy, a noisy voice suddenly sounded in his ears. Many of the soldiers in the formation whispered, as if they had seen something incomprehensible. There was fear and curiosity in the voice.

"What are you arguing about! Shut up Lao Tzu!" At the same time, Generalissimo Guo, who closed his eyes, also heard several of his subordinates walking back and forth in the military formation, loudly and angrily reprimanding for maintaining military discipline. But it was still useless, and the more the commanders roared, the more violent the commotion among the soldiers became. Later, the whispered chattering of countless people in the entire military array was like an explosion, and it couldn't be stopped at all.

"Marshal. ”

Someone whispered in their own ear.

The marshal ignored him. He felt like a bottomless boat slowly sinking into a vast lake.

"Marshal. ”

The soft voice still whispered in his ear, as if he would not give up if he did not disturb him.

Generalissimo Guo's brows furrowed. He began to reflect on whether he had killed too few people over the years and thought that he was too gentle? Why was this subordinate not afraid of himself? If he didn't open his eyes when the other party called him the first time, the other party should have retreated, what was it that gave the other party the courage to dare to try to wake him up again and again?

"Marshal, something big has happened. ”
