Chapter 21: The Neighbors of the Ancient Wood Sect
Hu Menglin immediately jumped to the side of the female elder and didn't entangle with the two again. The girl had a look of astonishment on her face, "You can beat the two of them? Your name is Hu Menglin, and you're new this year?"
Hu Menglin smiled, "Didn't you say that, I was looking for the Flying Ant Sect, but I ended up here by mistake?"
The other two men also stopped, and the two rushed over together, "Boy, I'll fight when I'm free, by the way, your name is Hu Menglin?"
Hu Menglin smiled and didn't answer. The crowd around them began to talk to each other. Soon, Hu Menglin learned about the identities of the two men. One is Shi Nantian, the grandson of the young sect master of the Giant Stick Sect, and the other is Yin Lei, a young genius of the generation of the God Devouring Rat Clan. Because Shi Nantian likes Yin Lei's sister, that is, the one next to Hu Menglin, he always comes to her, but Yin Lei is very unhappy, and often blocks the door to prevent him from entering, and the two often fight upside down.
The two were very refreshing, pestering Hu Menglin to learn martial arts. For a while, Hu Menglin actually felt that all around him were naked eyes. He has such a big head, he already has a bunch of daughters-in-law in the wilderness, it is estimated that a few will come in the next few days, and now there are so many women looking at his hot gaze, how can he stand it!
The female elder didn't care, but introduced the origin of the God Devouring Rat clan as she walked. It turned out that there was once a genius on their ancestors who had gone straight to the elemental plane, and now they were god-level powerhouses. Therefore, the vein he left behind has naturally become the pride of the sky. And in this vein, there is not even one person in each generation who truly inherits the ancestor's "God Devouring" ability. And the Yin Lei brothers and sisters are a rare pair of "God Devouring" talent owners, and their status in the clan is extremely noble. This is also the main reason why Yin Lei does not agree with his sister's relationship with Shi Nantian.
Hu Menglin did not meddle in other people's family affairs, but constantly observed the dense underground palace complex. If you count the number of people, although the God Devouring Rat Clan is not as many as the Flying Ant Sect, it is definitely a big clan around the Gumu Sect!
Because everyone is close and has a good relationship, they are like friends. Hu Menglin saw that everyone was out of sight, so he asked if the "God Devouring Mouse" clan ate the root system of the ancient wood!
As a result, the crowd made fun of him. It turned out that these god-devouring rats basically didn't eat plants, they all ate some demonic beasts growing on and around the trees, and even some corpses of powerhouses such as the Flying Feather Sect. Like the Flying Ant Sect, they are also important protectors of the Ancient Wood.
Over the course of a few days, Hu Menglin got to know the neighbors around him. The so-called Tianling Sect is actually a sect established with birds and demonic beasts as the main body, comprehensively defending the canopy part above the sky. It is a place frequented by the strong people of the Kun tribe.
The Giant Stick Gate, the Sky Swallowing Clan, and the Whistle Clan will often come to the canopy to help and fight against the alien races that steal the ancient wood fruit.
On this day, Hu Menglin, who was visiting the Swallowing Heaven Clan, suddenly received a message from the Tianling Sect that someone had invaded the canopy, not only picking unripe fruits, but also trying to cut down trees!
It can make everyone angry at once, if it is not a big problem to pick some branches and leaves, it is generally not too careful, but if it is like this kind of blatant logging, it is a provocation to the Gumu Sect and the surrounding clans!
The young patriarch of the Heaven Devouring Clan, who had a huge snake head, waved his head, "You're welcome, let's go up and see, which guy ate the bear's heart and leopard gall and dared to use a knife on the ancient wood!"
Hu Menglin waved his hand, "You don't need to go all up, you have to defend on the ground, if you turn the tiger away from the mountain, we will suffer!"
When Hu Menglin and the young patriarch of the Heaven Swallowing Clan reached the canopy together, they found that this place seemed to be the size of a wild world, and all that could not be seen was green leaves. The leaves closer to the branches, each like a small lake, glowed with blue light, and the spiritual power probed into it, and there were even some creatures swimming in it.
One leaf and one world, this place is so magical!
A red-topped old man was chattering: Those guys saw everyone coming up and went inside, I guess they are the Drill Leaf Borer Clan, it should be a subordinate sect of the Kun Clan!
There was a loud "collapse", and at the edge of the sea of leaves, a small branch suddenly fell, and a fruit as golden as the sun fell down instantly!
"It's not good, the other party wants to steal the fruit!"
Several main god-level powerhouses flashed from the blades in an instant and fell to the bottom, while at the underground, several flying ant clan powerhouses rushed into the air, staring at the golden red fruits that fell from the sky.
In front of Hu Menglin, thousands of people suddenly appeared, each of them much stronger than his strength! On the leaf trunk and between the leaves, hundreds of Zerg who drilled in and out from time to time were being chased by some giant birds. These Tianling people who have recovered their true bodies are flexible and changeable, and they are very skillful in controlling the space around them, chasing those leaf borers with nowhere to escape.
Looking at the branch that fell to the ground, a strong superior god had completely carried it, and was slowly controlling its speed, gradually straightening the huge branch, and began to flee into the distance. Several of the main gods of the Flying Ant Clan were wrestling with them as they roared and called for reinforcements. Behind another mountain, dozens of strange-looking insects had rushed forward.
Behind the mountain, there was a sudden sound of water tide, and two strong men with dragon heads and human bodies appeared on the top of the mountain with a pair of bottles, pointing at the insects, and behind them, there were gradually more and more figures.
"Hu Menglin, you two go down to the tree to help, the dragon clan is only responsible for blocking the other party's reinforcements, and will not take action easily. You two are dedicated to dealing with those who are weak, and it is inconvenient for us to bully them!" The red-capped old man pointed downward, then suddenly raised his foot and kicked the two down.
Before the young patriarch of the Sky Devouring Snake Clan landed, he had turned into a giant yellow and green snake, the huge mouth like a cave suddenly opened, and the wind suddenly roared in his sharp teeth, and the stones within 10,000 meters around him flew into his stomach.
Hu Menglin was secretly shocked, he was afraid that he would not be able to withstand his suction force! Sure enough, the weak Zerg who was a little closer flew towards the two of them quickly. Hu Menglin's spear flicked on the ground, and the whole person rose into the air again, pounced on a stout worm-headed man, and encircled him in his spear.
More and more strong people joined the battle, and the space in mid-air was broken open again, and several thin cultivators suddenly jumped onto the trunk of the tree, and suddenly broke a thicker branch, and there were actually three or four golden red fruits on it.
These cultivators didn't wait to leave the ancient tree, and suddenly there was a loud shout from the bark, and Mu Lao, who was purple-robed and high-crowned, jumped out, and all the wooden swords on his back were scattered, trapping several of them all on the trunk of the tree, not allowing them to escape!
Around the ancient tree, a big battle was unexpectedly encountered. More than 20 main gods on both sides, and thousands of god-monarch-level powerhouses fought, branches and leaves scattered, stones flying, broken limbs were all over the ground, and blood flowed like an infusion.
Hu Menglin hid far away, occasionally making a move, sneaking up on a few approaching Divine Monarchs, and as for the middle of the battlefield, he didn't dare to approach at all. Even so, the flying air currents and ancient tree branches still left a few scars on his body!
Finally, the clouds cleared and the fog dispersed, and the song ended. Hu Menglin was arranged to take thousands of brothers and sisters to clean up the battlefield and pick up items. Tens of thousands of leaves were shot down, except for a few large branches taken away by the other party, the rest were left behind, and there were hundreds of corpses of God-level powerhouses alone, as well as the arms and thighs of two or three main gods.
Mu Lao looked at Hu Menglin with a smile, "This is a bigger battle, you will get used to it in the future, every few hundred years, each Zerg-based sect will organize a large-scale sneak attack, and they will often snatch the giant branches and strong cadres, but their corpses are enough to offset these losses!"
"Wouldn't that be worth the loss?" Meng Haoran asked.
"This ancient tree in our Void God Realm has many uses, and the most important thing is that its leaves contain pieces of Great Dao fragments, and only by absorbing these fragments can the Juvenile Zerg derive the Great Dao Foundation and start cultivating. In other words, for the sake of their descendants, we have to snatch them! When we reach the powerhouse above the god monarch level, we can comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth on our own! To put it bluntly, we don't want to let them get the branches and leaves, but we can't indulge them, in case these guys don't restrain themselves, the entire ancient tree will be destroyed!"
Standing under the tree, Hu Menglin looked at the entire ancient tree, towering over the clouds, and he was full of emotion. I thought that the fight between life and death was just a fight between you and me on the food chain, but I didn't want to have so many unavoidable hardships in the process. It is not easy for any race to survive!
Everyone was talking about which big branch they were cultivating on!
As if hearing everyone's thoughts, Mu Lao pointed to the middle position, "From here, the ancient wood is divided into one hundred and eight branches. The Spirit of the Ancient Wood took the thirty-six branches and ascended to the elemental plane. And the other thirty-six branches were refined by him into the Ancient Wood Sword, which is our thirty-seventh branch, the Changtian Branch. I'll take you up and have a look!"
Standing among the thirty-six branches as thick as a giant peak, Hu Menglin felt that he was as small as a grain of dust, and in the middle of the branch was a "tree bud" with the tip of a sword pointing upward, wrapped in layers of fine and scales, and from the bottom to the top was exactly thirty-six layers.
It turned out that he had been cultivating in this sword! The other people's eyes were straight, and they all envied Hu Menglin's cultivation place so peculiar.
Mu Lao smiled, "If you want to come to our Changtianzhi, you can apply, I warmly welcome you." My branch, including Hu Menglin, is only more than a hundred people, and compared to the tens of thousands of people in other sects, it seems too lonely! The Changtian Branch is divided into thirty-six layers, Hu Menglin is now in the first layer, and in a few days, I am afraid that he will be promoted to the second layer, until the cultivation of the thirty-sixth layer is completed, it is estimated that he will not be far from the ancestral god!"
Hu Menglin was happy, it seems that the Changtian Monument is in this sword, and when he rushes to the tip of the sword, he can leave the Empty God Realm.
Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly Hu Menglin's wrist moved, a lotus flower bloomed, and a sentence floated out, "Menglin, what are you doing?
Everyone laughed coaxingly, and several junior sisters immediately laughed, "This is Mrs. Sister-in-law, why did you come to Gumu Sect?"
Hu Menglin's face turned red all of a sudden, this was what she gave to her when he broke up with Mercury Daoren, saying that there was an urgent matter that could be transmitted, and now I understand the meaning of this sentence!
