Text: Chapter 2: Spore Attack!
The golden light from Xie Tong fell on Xiao Guang's body, which suddenly made the golden bird brighter and brighter, and the soft golden light flickered fascinatingly. When the brilliance receded, Xiao Guang's body, which had grown a lot, was more than twice as large. Xiaoguang was already a head taller than Xie Tong standing there.
"Let's go!" Xie Tong flew and landed on Xiaoguang's back and stood with his hands in his hands.
The same was true of the rose on the other side, Xiao Ling became equally huge, carrying its owner and Xie Tong into streamers and flying eastward.
After the Spiritual Light Bird advanced, it was extremely fast, and it didn't take a moment. Xie Tong had already rushed to the border of the two armies with Rose.
The almost transparent pale golden light curtain stretched from the ground to the sky, if it weren't for the golden light that contained a divine aura that was awe-inspiring, probably Xie Tong would not have found that there was such a large area of defensive light wall here.
Rattle...... There was a strange sound from the opposite side of the light curtain, and a hazy black-clothed soldier crashed into the light curtain, instantly being burned out of bursts of green smoke and making the sound of teeth rubbing. He was screaming, but he couldn't make a sound.
Xie Tong frowned, this is not a person at all. It is a demon warrior summoned by the Dark Spirit Death Holy Fist, and the main body is a long-standing unjust soul. When he was competing with Bai Shattered Spirit for the Heaven Dou Secret Treasure, he was once entangled by this thing. "Dark Guard?"
Rose nodded, "These aren't the toughest ones, you see. As she spoke, she pointed her finger at the corner of the light curtain.
Xie Tong looked at it, and he couldn't find anything from a distance, and he didn't find it until he looked at it carefully for a while. On that corner of the light curtain, every few seconds, an imperceptible particle would hit it, forming an extremely faint wave. Looking at the entire light curtain, Xie Tong was horrified to find that such a situation spread all over the surface of the light curtain, and there were such tiny granular objects flying on the opposite side all the time, which were blocked by the holy tree's guardian light curtain.
"What the hell is this?" Xie Tong said in surprise. Since it is blocked by a light curtain, this small thing that is invisible to the naked eye must be harmful. And with such a large number and such a high frequency, just ask how many people will not be touched by this thing after going out.
"It's the Mushroom King's ability, Spore!" said Rose in a deep voice.
Xie Tong still remembers it, but it's not a good memory. He was hunted down by the Mushroom King that day, and before he could do anything, he was blasted out of his body by spores inhaled in the air, and everyone in his company was hit. If it weren't for the Dragon Emperor using golden light into his body to wash away these strange things for everyone, as long as the mushroom had a thought, the person who inhaled the spores would have no chance of survival.
"Isn't the mushroom king tired after releasing so many spores?" Xie Tong wondered. There is an end to everything, and the mushroom king can't make these things all day long, doesn't he need to sleep?
Rose sighed, solemnly said, "The Mushroom Saint King's achievement of today's cultivation can also be regarded as a kind of chance, he found the most mysterious kind of fungus spirit pet in the country of trees, it is not a plant or an animal, it is born with the ability to divide infinitely, these spores are not the offspring of that spirit pet, but a real doppelganger, each of which can grow into a main body." Wherever the mushroom wants to appear, it can be achieved by spores regeneration. The most terrifying thing is that this ability is not bound by the aura of the spirit pet and the owner, as long as there is an aura, the spores can grow and split. Suffice it to say, the Mushroom King is immortal and omniscient, and his doppelgangers are found everywhere in the entire Tree Country. ”
"Immortal body?" Xie Tong was surprised, "Don't care about the spirit pet, can't you just kill his master?"
"A strong person in the Spirit Emperor Realm can not only share his soul will with his pet, but even his physical body can be combined into one. Of course, the Mushroom King also has such an ability, and he is even more excessive. The main body uses his spirit pet, which is the mushroom, and the real body of the human has been completely integrated into the spirit pet, and what you see is just the appearance of the mushroom. Rose said, clenching her fists.
After Xie Tong listened, a trace of cold sweat couldn't help but break out on his forehead. "Isn't he invincible, then?"
"Not really, the strong above the Spirit Liberation Realm can release their spiritual energy at all times to resist the invasion of spores. The higher the level, the less danger there is from being attacked by spores, and when you reach the Emperor Realm, you can release your aura on a large scale, which is enough to protect many people from it. Rose said.
"That means that as long as there is an Emperor Realm powerhouse present, the ability of the mushroom will be useless? Xie Tong said with relief.
Rose shook her head, "But a powerhouse of the Emperor Realm of the same level has almost no strength to fight just by releasing spiritual energy to resist the spread of mushroom spores, and besides, he also has the help of the Dark Spirit Guard Legion...... That's how the Beast Saint King ......"
Xie Tong realized that one of the three holy kings of the Spirit Clan had already killed a Hundred Beast Saint King. Listening to Rose say this, I can probably guess a thing or two about the cause of his death.
What Rose said next was also in the process of speculation.
On that day, the mushroom raised the flag and rebelled, leading the headquarters of the army to attack the range of the sacred tree. The Forest Saint King is responsible for releasing the aura to resist the spores, while the Hundred Beast Saint King is responsible for dealing with the Mushroom King. Originally, there was no pressure to win or lose, the Mushroom King had to care about his spores, and he was not the opponent of the Hundred Beast Saint King at all. However, the Dark Spirit Guard Legion suddenly arrived, and the first person to use the Dark Spirit Death Holy Fist was extremely high. In cooperation with the Mushroom King, he besieged and killed the Hundred Beast Saint King in front of the army of the Tree Country. The Holy King, who could have escaped, in order to protect his subordinates from evacuating, was stunned and desperately released his aura to block the attack, and finally fell into a black gas wrapped in his body, sucking up the essence, and not even leaving a whole corpse.
Rose said this, her eyes glistening, tears rolling down. "The King of the Forest wants to protect us, and he can't interfere...... We could only watch as the Beast Saint King and his spirit pet turned into ashes...... Woo woo", she couldn't finish the next words, she just choked up and cried, squatted on the ground and hugged her face and sobbed. Two birds of light surrounded her, caressing the saint with their wings, comforting the underage girl.
Xie Tong can imagine the scene of that day. I was also very sad and indignant in my heart, and my fists rattled, "Don't cry, no matter how much you cry, you won't be able to live." Pack up your mood and avenge the Holy King!"
Rose stood up with her red eyes open, wiping her tears and nodding, "I also want revenge, but the will of the sacred tree does not tell me to kill." ”
"Kill, if you don't kill these wicked people. The warriors of the Spirit Race, the people will suffer more, and the Holy Tree will not blame them. Xie Tong patted her on the shoulder and said firmly.
"Let's finish the task first. Rose turned thoughtfully and led Xie Tong deeper into the woods.
The forests after the war were lifeless, littered with rotting animal carcasses and poisonous insects that had eaten them. The sunlight shining through the leaves marks the blood that remains on the ground.
Xie Tong and Rose walked through the forest on the thick fallen leaves, and the two of them were silent all the way, because the light curtain generated by the sacred tree was nearby, and the dense spore impact on it that was more dense than the torrential rain did not stop for a moment.
Pushing aside a human-tall weed, Rose lifted a damp piece of ground, revealing a muddy tunnel underneath.
"This is what I dug up, and I watched the light curtain change from below, without those annoying things disturbing me. Rose said, bowing her head and diving. Let the muddy water in the pit stain her skirt.
Xie Tong followed, moving forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Not only is the muddy water slippery, but there are also a lot of thick tree roots running through it, making the already rugged tunnel even more difficult.
After a few rounds, the faint golden light in front of me showed that it was about to arrive.
"I'm sorry, but I dug a little more to avoid the roots of a few trees. Rose said embarrassedly.
Xie Tong disagreed: "It should be." ”
Rose released a small spirit, and placed her palm on the light curtain to begin to perceive the changes in the aura on the light curtain. While saying to Xie Tong, "The Holy Tree uses its root system that spreads over most of the Tree Country to release this Guardian Light Curtain, and our current position should be on its root system. It stands to reason that the light curtain emitted by the holy tree with divine power is almost impossible for anyone in the world to break, but recently, the energy of the light curtain has been quietly and slowly fading, and neither the Forest Saint King nor I can find the reason. ”
"Could it be that they are digging up the root system of the sacred tree?" Xie Tong guessed.
Rose laughed, "That's looking for death, the sacred tree can be said to be the only god alive in this world." Not to mention that its root system is thousands of meters underground, even if they dig it up, give them a few dares to move? ”
"Obediently, it's all like this, the holy tree simply killed them directly. Xie Tong said.
"Wars between human beings, it will not be managed. Unless someone wants to harm it, the reason why the sacred tree will protect us is because we don't want to kill again, and it is at its feet. Rose said, concentrating on the senses again.
In the middle of the sound, Rose withdrew her palm and sighed, "It's still the same, I can only sense the weakening divine power of the holy tree, and I can't find the reason." ”
"I'll try. Xie Tong also stretched out his palm and sensed it.
As soon as his hand was attached to the light curtain, the familiar power from the sacred tree entered his skin, and Xie Tong unconsciously threw his body and mind into it.
Seeing that Xie Tong was almost in a state of concentration, Rose finally believed that Xie Tong was the spokesperson chosen by the Holy Tree like her, except for the two Holy Sons who had the same power in their bodies, any power would be rejected when it encountered the light curtain.
However, Xie Tong's entry into the state was a full half a day. That is, Rose had patience and never disturbed him, just waiting.
After another half a day, it was already dark outside, and the cold tunnel added to the chill. Xie Tongcai shivered, woke up from his state of steady, and said excitedly, "Found it! Found it!"
Rose happily held Xie Tong's hand, "Really!"
Xie Tong felt the coldness coming from her hands, and saw Rose's almost completely soaked clothes, but there was a feeling of guilt in his heart. "Sorry to keep you waiting. However, as soon as the nose was hot, two hot currents disrupted the atmosphere at this time.
"Why are you ......" Rose saw Xie Tong's nosebleed, only to find that her wet clothes were clinging to her body, and under the reflection of the golden light of the light curtain, her delicate figure was almost visible.
"I didn't see anything...... Xie Tong argued, but a familiar sense of crisis arose in his heart.
"Pervert!" Rose waved her arm.
"W-a-a-——!"
