Chapter 7: The World of Roots
"Okay!
In the end, Feng Ruo could only accept his fate, he didn't know why the blue bird didn't listen to him, but he thought that there were no more than two possibilities, first, it was deliberately making things difficult for itself, and second, this stupid bird was probably lost, after all, the ground of this sea of dead wood was almost the same, with its speed, it was possible to fly out thousands of miles in one go!
Since it was clear that he would not be able to return to the Deadwood Castle in a short period of time, of course Feng Ruo could not sit still, at least he had to dig a hole in the ground and hide it!
Ignoring the blue bird, Feng Ruo immediately searched around, and soon found a dead tree surrounded by more than ten people not far away.
"Well, this is it!" Feng Ruo ran over directly, drew out the Thunder Sword and dug hard not far from the dead wood, and the reason why he did this was entirely because this sea of dead wood was full of deserts, and if he dug directly, it was estimated that he would soon be buried in the sand.
However, since these dead trees can stand for thousands of years, they must have an extremely developed root system in the ground, and digging in this vicinity may have a high chance of digging up the soil, and in this way, it is not a problem to make a hole in the ground where you can hide.
With a goal, Feng Ruo's motivation is also sufficient, "Huhuhu" A large area of sand flew towards the sky, which looked quite spectacular from a distance.
But soon Feng Ruo discovered a very fatal problem, because no matter how hard he tried, he could only dig down to a depth of about one zhang, and if he continued down, the surrounding sand would automatically flow down.
At this time, the blue bird that was watching the excitement on the side suddenly chirped, and the sound was very pleasant, but Feng Ruo knew that the dead bird was laughing at him again.
"What are you laughing at! If you have the ability, you will dig it! You may not be like me!" Feng Ruo couldn't help but say angrily.
However, the blue bird suddenly spread its wings, soared into the air, and flew directly to the place more than ten zhang above Feng Ruo's head, followed by the pair of extremely beautiful wings slammed down, and suddenly a gust of wind came out.
And Feng Ruo below hurriedly escaped, because the power of this wind was too great, if he didn't run, it was estimated that he would soon be buried alive.
After he escaped more than ten zhang, he looked back again, but he couldn't help but be surprised, only to see that under the flapping of the wings of the blue bird, a gust of wind came out of the ground, and I don't know how it struck, these winds did not spread around, but formed a tornado with a diameter of about a few zhang!
In Feng Ruo's stunned, he saw that the tornado whirled up the sand on the ground, and an unfathomable hole appeared in the spot, which was much faster than his previous efficiency.
At this moment, the blue bird suddenly rushed over, grabbed Feng Ruo and threw him into the tornado.
"Hey, hey...... Hmm...... "Before he could protest, Feng Ruo's whole person was turned dark, dizzy, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he was in an extremely dark environment.
"Uh! this damn bird! it's always so violent!" Feng Ruo knocked hard on his forehead, and then took out a low-grade five-element stone with a fire surname, and struck it with a sword, and suddenly a ball of fire appeared.
With this firelight, Feng Ruo looked around for a long time, only to find that this was a very strange space, because there were dense tree roots everywhere, and these roots crisscrossed each other, but there was not a trace of dirt, not even a grain of sand.
And Feng Ruo's location was the center of the intersection of a dozen tree roots, and not far from him, the blue bird was standing somewhat calmly.
Although the place where the fire shines is less than a dozen zhang, based on what he sees in front of him, Feng Ruo can deduce that this should be a huge underground world, and what builds this world is the countless tree roots!
"Yes, this should be the habitat of those spirit beasts living in the sea of dead wood, after all, the environment on the ground in Bai Yue is too terrifying, so those spirit beasts should naturally have a place to hide, and it is precisely because of this that every time the day falls, there will be countless spirit beasts coming out of this ground, which forms that terrifying beast tide!"
Thinking of this, Feng Ruo was taken aback, if this was really the case, then wouldn't he have fallen into the lair of those countless spirit beasts! Even if he had a thousand lives, it was not enough to die!
"Hey, hey, it's too dangerous here, we have to leave immediately!" Feng Ruo couldn't help but say to the blue bird not far away, now that he saw this guy's strong strength, he unconsciously chose to throw out all the important things.
But what made Feng Ruo extremely devastated was that after tilting his head and looking at him for a while, the blue bird suddenly turned into a blue light and disappeared into the ring, and he no longer came out!
"Damn it!
If Feng Ruo can only accept his fate in the end, if he comes, he will be safe! If he really encounters unknowable danger, he will go to this guy for help.
In this unfamiliar environment, Feng Ruo quickly put aside all kinds of distractions and entered a state of vigilance, he first carefully inspected the terrain of this underground world along the criss-crossing roots, but the result was very surprising to him.
At the top of these roots, there is a very strange soil, it is these dirt that intercepts the quicksand on the surface of the dead wood sea, of course, these dirt also have dense small roots, so that this layer of soil is extremely strong, Feng Ruo tried to attack with the Ben Thunder Sword, but found that this kind of soil is unusually hard, with the sharpness of the Ben Thunder Sword, it is only a small white dot left.
This discovery made Feng Ruo determine two things, first, the strength of the blue bird should be unfathomable, because it is easy to use a tornado to sweep away the quicksand, but if it breaks through this kind of soil in a short period of time, it is quite difficult!
But at the same time, Feng Ruo also felt a little puzzled, because since the strength of this blue bird is so strong, why would Mingxi still be seriously injured? Could it mean that Xi's enemies are even more terrifying? Thinking of this, Feng Ruo quickly dispelled this idea, he was just a little ant now, and he was not interested in getting involved in the affairs of those big people.
And the second thing that Feng Ruo was sure of was that there should be many passages to the ground in this underground world, otherwise, it would be impossible for those spirit beasts to rush out of the ground quickly the moment they fell!
So as long as he finds these passages, he can leave this damn place, of course, provided that he doesn't get eaten by spirit beasts!
After confirming the top of this underground world, Feng Ruo climbed down like a monkey along the roots of those trees, because he was really not used to this kind of hanging environment, after all, he was not the kind of bird that lived in the trees, and being down-to-earth was the best choice!
But Feng Ruo was destined to be disappointed, he climbed down dozens of zhang in one breath, but those tree roots seemed to be endless, there was no end at all, the only change was that the more down, the thicker those tree roots became, but the gap between them increased a lot, and the narrowest gap was more than ten zhang wide!
Therefore, Feng Ruo wisely stopped the move of continuing to explore downward, because it was obvious that from those gaps, it could be seen that the lower down, the higher the probability of those powerful spirit beasts appearing, and he didn't want to encounter a powerful spirit beast like the Scorpion King.
According to this reasoning, Feng Ruo quickly climbed back again, and now that he had been in this darkness for a long time, he realized that in fact, this place was not really pitch black, and those crisscrossing tree roots would always emit an extremely faint light, and thousands of tree roots gathered together, this light was extremely obvious, at least with Feng Ruo's eyesight, there was no problem in seeing the surrounding area of dozens of zhang.
Next, Feng Ruo chose a suitable location closest to the layer of soil, and then found eight tree roots that could echo each other according to the appropriate direction, and then used the Ben Thunder Sword to dig five holes in each tree root, and each hole was stuffed into a soil surnamed Five Elements Stone, so that his simple lair was equivalent to having five positive and negative mountain formations.
Speaking of which, Feng Ruo still really wants to thank Mo Yan, Yao Xing and the damned Lao Jiu, thanks to them, there are nearly 20,000 low-grade Five Elements Stones in his hands now, especially that Lao Jiu, there are actually more than 10,000 low-grade Five Elements Stones in the Qiankun bag that was thrown to him later, and the reason why this is the case is because the situation is urgent, on the other hand, that Lao Jiu obviously wants to kill him afterwards, so he is not worried that Feng Ruo will be greedy for ink!
"Hmph, I hope you bastards can live well, otherwise, I will be very sorry!"
Snorted coldly, Feng Ruo only then took the longitudinal formation trick and opened the outermost positive and negative mountain formation, as for the remaining four, it was better to open it when something unexpected happened, after all, he didn't know what year and month he would be able to escape from this damn place now, so it was better to use those Five Element Stones sparingly!
After arranging all this, Feng Ruocai sat cross-legged on the root of the tree, took out the wood spirit crystal and ran the green wood spirit technique, he must now use the fastest speed to recover all the mana before dawn, because at that time, the spirit beasts on the surface of the dead wood sea will return, and he doesn't know what will happen.
It had only been more than two hours, and Feng Ruo was alarmed by a rustling sound, looking at the faint light outside, Rao was mentally prepared, and he was also shocked at this time!
I saw that a dozen feet below him, a group of hundreds of dead wood poisonous scorpions quickly crawled over, and those hanging tree roots were like walking on the ground for them, fortunately they seemed to be in a hurry, or they didn't notice the existence of Feng Ruo, so they disappeared into the distance in a blink of an eye.
Seeing this scene, Feng Ruo didn't dare to cultivate anymore, put away the wood spirit crystal, and couldn't help but hold his breath and observe the surrounding situation, and in just half an hour, at least dozens of groups of spirit beasts passed quickly from below, the lowest level of these spirit beasts is the dead wood scorpion, but their number is the largest, and there are more than a dozen spirit beasts that Feng Ruo doesn't know at all, and it seems that their strength is not weak!
However, because Feng Ruo was at the top, those spirit beasts did not notice his existence, but there was a very strange situation that made him very interested.
Because according to his observations, the dozen or so spirit beasts he saw seemed to have their own routes, and rarely intersected and collided with other spirit beasts, for example, the dead wood scorpion had always moved forward within a range of more than ten to twenty zhang below him, and several other spirit beasts were acting in a range of less than twenty zhang, all of which were very regular, and occasionally a group of spirit beasts derailed, they would inevitably be attacked strongly, almost endlessly!
"I didn't expect that this underground world would have such strict rules, the lower it is, the higher the level of the spirit beast, fortunately I ran to the top, otherwise it would be miserable!"
Feng Ruo thought to himself, but soon he found that things were far from being as simple as he thought, it was estimated that after the day came out, the intense light scorched everything, and the boiling heat wave penetrated into the ground, through the thick quicksand and the layer of soil, and finally emitted into this underground world.
Although this heat is almost negligible, it attracts countless flying insects from the lowest level, and the number has reached a dense level, and that situation almost makes Feng Ruo sick to death, fortunately, these flying insects will not take the initiative to attack, but just keep flying.
However, just when Feng Ruo was just breathing a sigh of relief, the figures of several dead wood poisonous scorpions suddenly appeared in his sight!
"Oops!"
Feng Ruo was almost depressed to death, it turned out that the top was not safe, it was obvious that those dead wood scorpions were running up to prey on those flying insects!
As a last resort, Feng Ruo had no choice but to open the five positive and negative formations, and then pulled out the Ben Thunder Sword and guarded carefully, no matter what, it was a moment to fight, of course, the best situation was that those dead wood poisonous scorpions put all their minds on those delicious flying insects, turning a blind eye to him, an alien!
Feng Ruo's wish was very good, but unfortunately, for those dead wood poisonous scorpions, he seemed to be more delicious, and after those dead wood poisonous scorpions approached the range of ten zhang, they immediately discovered Feng Ruo's existence.
With a hiss, the dead wood scorpions rushed up excitedly!
"Bang bang bang!" A series of explosions came, and the dead wood scorpions were bounced out of the positive and negative formations at the first time, but their ferocious attacks also made the entire formation shake violently, if they were allowed to attack several times, they would have to be broken!
"Silverarmour!
Feng Ruo let out a low shout, first unsealed the silver-armored heavenly spider to support on the side, while he quickly released three green silk entanglements to bind the three poisonous scorpions in the front, and then his body flashed, and the thunder sword in his hand "Huh!" cut off the scorpion tail of a poisonous scorpion!
At the same time, the sword light flashed again, and this dead wood poisonous scorpion was completely killed! And all this was because of the sharpness of the Ben Thunder Sword, otherwise it would not be so easy to change to the three-grade sword weapon before Feng Ruo!
Killing this dead wood scorpion, Feng Ruo's figure flashed, and he was able to avoid the tail needles of the two poisonous scorpions next to him, and then immediately retreated into the formation, because he didn't cast the shield wall spell now, so he couldn't deal with the simultaneous attack of the two poisonous scorpions!
"Well, well, see who can eat whom?"
