Chapter 31: I'd rather be buried
Just as he was standing in contemplation, he was suddenly dragged out of the ground, and at the same time was lifted several feet above the ground. Standing alone in the darkness of the ground, he kept his eyes closed, and suddenly stepped out of the ground, and when he opened his eyes, the things in front of him were a little blurry.
It was evening, and the sun was not very strong.
The monster that was originally wrapped around Lili's body disappeared immediately, and one person and two demons suddenly had no support, and fell directly to the ground, falling to the ground for a while.
Standing alone, he grinned a few times, softened his ass, settled down, and looked around, and couldn't help but be shocked and his eyes widened.
The first thing that catches your eye is a behemoth like an octopus's tentacles, at a glance, its surface is mostly dark blue, when it is nearly ten zhang long, it swayed in the air a few times, and then went straight to the ground.
Seeing this, he hurriedly grabbed the babbling and confused balls that had been thrown a little irritable, and ran to the side.
"Boom"
In an instant, dust flew and the ground shook.
He hurriedly turned sideways, blocked his snort with his arm, babbling and Qiuqiu startled, and hid in his arms.
When everything calmed down, he slowly opened his eyes, only to see that the behemoth like an octopus's tentacles had been planted deep in the ground, and only part of the surface was exposed. He slowly stood up, and saw that under his feet, on the muddy purple-black ground, dark blue roots that showed cracking, intertwined like old coiled dragons, stretched into the distance until they were completely submerged in the ground.
The 'monster' that had previously bound the lonely was actually a huge tree root. No wonder it can move quickly through the ground, no wonder its surface is so hard that it can be wrapped and bound. It's just that it has been dragged here from the previous place, and it has traveled at least five or six miles, what kind of tree is it, and there are such long roots.
Standing sideways, he looked in the direction of the origin of the roots, and saw that dozens of zhang away in front of him, there was an ancient tree that was not very huge, but looked majestic and mysterious.
Its main trunk is about a zhang wide, the old bark on the surface is very cracked, and the branches and leaves above the main trunk are emerald green and very fine, and at a glance, it looks fluffy.
"Dryad again?" said in his heart. He knew that this ancient tree demon must be extraordinary, and judging from the fact that the roots of the tree stretched for several miles, it was not something that ordinary demons could do. It's just that after waiting quietly for a while, the ancient tree demon didn't make the slightest movement, and he couldn't figure out its intentions for a while, so he didn't make any moves for the time being.
Babbling stared at the ancient tree demon in front of him, looking a little puzzled.
Xiao Li turned his head to see the babbling expression, and asked in a low voice, "Babbling, do you know your relatives?" If Babbling really became related to this ancient dryad, it might be of great help to them. It's just that it's still unclear why this ancient dryad dragged them here, whether it was a kind rescue or a malicious cruelty.
She shook her head and ran her hands over her face, as if to say that this ancient dryad was not as good-looking as him at all.
"You're still ugly," he said, carefully lowering his voice. Instead, he thought to himself, "Since you don't know each other, and the ancient dryad doesn't respond, you can only withdraw first." "According to past experience, most of the monsters encountered in the Demon Night Forest have bad intentions, since it has no movement, it is better to go first.
Thinking of this, he tugged the babbling into his arms, forbidding him to make a sound, and at the same time turned cautiously and stepped back.
Just as he turned around, there was an extremely hoarse and low voice behind him, "Some connections, but not blood", as if in response to the previous question.
"Babble!" Seeing that the ancient tree was able to speak, Babbling showed half of his head from Lili's arms, pointed at the ancient tree, and turned his head to look at Lili with a look of surprise.
He looked stunned for a moment, turned around slowly, and thought quickly, "If it wants to stop me, I will definitely not be able to leave, besides, its previous words do not seem to be malicious, and it was underground before, if it hadn't dragged us here, I am afraid that it would have been suffocated to death, so speaking, it still has a life-saving grace for us." Anyway, now I have to deal with it carefully", when he thought of this, Xiao Li just turned around, and then arched his hand and said, "The seniors are superb, and the qi is thousands of miles, and I admire it! Thank you for the life-saving grace of the seniors." The younger generation's soul cultivation is erect, dare to ask the senior's surname?"
"Hehe" The ancient tree demon laughed a few times hoarsely, it sounded like a dry cough, I don't know whether it was laughing or laughing, "What seniors are not predecessors, I'm just an old and immortal dead tree, how can I have a surname?"
Although he bowed his head, he could still see the cracked trunk of the ancient dryad in the corner of his eye, faintly showing a black eye texture, and an almost circular mouth below, which closed one by one with its sound.
"I don't know, what else do the seniors command?" asked Yu Li cautiously.
"You don't have to be nervous, I just sensed a familiar aura underground, so I took you here to see you. The corners of the ancient dryad's mouth went up, as if he was smiling.
"Did you mean him?" said the babbling that had already climbed to his arrow. It was only after they went underground that the ancient tree demon noticed the babbling through the rhizome.
"Hmm" The ancient tree demon shook the branch slightly downward, and then said, "I was originally an ordinary ancient tree in this forest, and I have lived in chaos for thousands of years, and later, I don't know if it was tens of thousands of years ago, the blood of the Ancestral Demon Emperor was stained on my rhizome, and since then, I have gradually gained my senses. ”
"I don't know how many tens of thousands of years? "I was amazed in my heart.
The ancient tree demon looked at the sky, and his gaze seemed to be full of respect for the ancestral demon.
At this moment, Xiao Li already believed that the ancient tree demon in front of him was not malicious to them, because if he really wanted to harm them, how could he say more.
"His sanity comes from the blood of the Ancestral Demon Emperor, and he said that he is somewhat familiar with the babbling, could it be that the babbling is really related to the Ancestral Demon Emperor. However, he can be regarded as having the blood of the emperor, but he said before, 'It is not related by blood', so babbling should not be the descendant of the ancestral demon, what does babbling have to do with the ancestral demon?"
"In addition, the Ancestral Demon Emperor actually shed blood? Can anyone in this world hurt the Ancestral Demon? It is rumored that the Law of the Ancestral Demon is far above the master of Tongtian, and it is mysterious and mysterious, and it should be a realm that the human race has never spied on. ”
Xiao Li was shocked, but he didn't show too much on his face, and instead said, "Do you know where he came from?" As soon as Xiao Li finished speaking, he grabbed him with his backhand and put him on the ground, and then there was a "whoosh" sound.
Previously, this guy had already straightened up his crotch, and he knew that he wanted to pee, and he just peed on his shoulder, but he couldn't pee on the ancient tree demon!
The ancient dryad's eyes furrowed to the middle, and after a moment, he shook his head in confusion.
Seeing the ancient tree demon with such an expression, he couldn't help but feel a little lost.
"In the bloodline of the ancestral demon, most of them are the spiritual roots of the world, although there are those who can move thousands of miles, but it is unheard of for someone like him to be completely separated from the land bearing. Moreover, I couldn't feel the ancestral demon bloodline in his body at all, but I could sense some of the ancestral demon breath. It's weird!"
After hearing what the ancient tree demon said, he was shocked again, and looked sideways at the little guy who was squatting on the side and looking around, no more than a foot long, and there were some muddy little guys, and muttered, "Even the old-timers who are a little familiar with your breath don't know where you come from, what are you?"
At this moment, the ground where he had been babbling and peeing before loosened up, and a wet stain disappeared in an instant, as if the ancient dryad used the roots to absorb all the urine.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but feel a little disgusted, but when he thought about it, although the ancient tree demon had a divine sense, its body was a tree after all.
"It's indeed the breath of the ancestral demon, but it's very thin. "It seems that the ancient dryad is making sure of the babbling breath.
"What's the difference between breath and blood?" asked after a moment's hesitation. Although he understood the literal meaning, he was not sure if his understanding was consistent with the expression of the ancient dryad.
"The breath is unique, and the bloodline is continuous," the ancient dryad said slowly.
He nodded, and then he really understood, "It turns out that different creatures have different breaths, so why does Babbling have a faint breath of the Emperor Stream? However, since Babbling has the breath of the Emperor's body, isn't it even rarer than the bloodline?"
"It's been a long time since I've sensed Lord Diliu's breath, and it seems that the ancestral demon is no longer in this world. Today, I faintly noticed a little bit of the breath of the ancestral demon, which was really rare. I've never heard of it, so I don't know where it came from or why. The ancient tree demon seemed to notice the look of doubt on his face, and only then did he say the words that followed.
The ancient dryad stared at it with a kind expression, as if he was looking at a junior.
Xiao Li looked at him and babbled, and hurriedly picked him up and put him on his shoulder. He was afraid that if he babbled and dug it up, he would dig out the roots of the ancient dryad.
After a long groan, seeing that he couldn't figure out the origin of the babbling for a while, he turned to speak again......
