Chapter 212: The Strange Tree

After Wu Luo left, Xia Yu fell into deep thought.

The content of this night's combat meeting was indeed extraordinary and of great importance. Although Zhaoyao Mansion has been occupied, the situation of the human race is still very dangerous. Today, there are nine mansions, each of which can govern a large vast sea area, of which eight mansions are still in the hands of the demon clan, and the human race has just recaptured one mansion, and it is also the most remote and the most barren swagger mansion, although it can be used as a base and deeply rooted, but it takes a lot of time to develop, and the demon clan will obviously not let such a situation happen.

The news that Zhaoyao Mansion was occupied by the Terrans is estimated to be able to reach the nearest quicksand mansion within a month, after all, the distance between the two mansions is thousands of miles apart, and those monsters who fled in a hurry want to bring the news over, and it will take a certain amount of time.

It is not an easy thing to send a large army to attack, including collecting ships, transporting soldiers and food, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources, not to mention that it is impossible to be calm at sea, and when encountering strong winds and waves, it is necessary to find nearby islands to take shelter from the wind, so it will take more time.

At the battle meeting, everyone unanimously agreed, and the final conservative estimate was that in three months at the earliest, the army of Quicksand Province might appear near Zhaoyao Province.

Three months may not seem short, but for the current Terrans, it is too short and too hasty, and it is almost impossible to raise the strength of the Zhaoyao Mansion in these three months until it is enough to fight against the Quicksand Mansion.

Quicksand Mansion, no better than Zhaoyao Mansion, has always been known as the first mansion in the West Sea, among the nine mansions, second only to Lei Yan Mansion, the area is vast, the resources are abundant, and Zhaoyao Mansion is not the same, the monsters in it, the strength is also stronger, the number of demon generals, more than Zhaoyao Mansion, more importantly, the guard of Quicksand Mansion is the nine demon kings, the youngest, but the most talented demon king - Raccoon!

If it is said that the East China Sea is the power of the Candle Nine Yin and the world is extremely respected, then in this West Sea, it is the fox that covers the sky with one hand, and the entire West Sea is shrouded in the shadow of the fox, for the human race, the fox is like a dark cloud overhead, which makes people feel extremely depressed, but it will never linger.

It is precisely because of the existence of the raccoon that the human race cannot see the hope of revival.

In the face of such a strong enemy, the three-month preparation time can be imagined how short it is.

The battle meeting was discussed in the middle of the night, and some people proposed that since the Zhaoyao Mansion was laid, then as long as the resources of the Zhaoyao Mansion were plundered, it would be fine, and there was no need to stick to the Zhaoyao Mansion, which would lose flexibility and be more easily defeated by the demon clan, and this opinion was agreed by many people.

In the past, Huaxia Shenzhou has always been a guerrilla war with the demon clan, and if it is beaten, it will be fought, and if it can't be beaten, it will be able to survive, so it can survive in the treacherous West Sea, and now if it is to defend the Zhaoyao Mansion, then it is equivalent to becoming a live target, and the army of the Quicksand Mansion will drive over wave after wave, and it is impossible for the Zhaoyao Mansion to support it.

But Chi Songzi resolutely disagrees with such an approach, today's human race, the situation is indeed critical, but if you keep fighting guerrillas, it will never be able to become a climate, in the final analysis, without a solid base, it is impossible to do a long-term confrontation with the demon race, and sooner or later it will be defeated.

Zhaoyao Mansion is obviously the most ideal base area, first, it is the most westward of the nine mansions, that is to say, with the help of a remote location, you don't have to face the enemy attack on both sides, you only need to make every effort to prevent the east. Second, it is still thousands of miles away from the nearest quicksand mansion, and it is not easy for the demon clan to want a large army to attack, and the human race can rely on the Zhaoyao Mansion to wait for work, which is obviously also a big advantage.

It was precisely because of these two reasons that Akamatsuko firmly rejected the proposal to withdraw from Zhaoyao Mansion.

However, in this way, how to quickly improve the strength of Zhaoyao Mansion and resist the invasion of Quicksand Mansion within three months is an almost inexplicable matter.

After discussing for a long time, no one could come up with any good solution, so Chi Songzi had to announce the dismissal of the meeting, asking everyone to go back and think about it, and the battle meeting would be held again in a few days.

Xia Yu frowned, he couldn't sleep for a long time, the threat of the quicksand mansion was even greater than he imagined, especially the demon king Xuan, it is said that before the battle of Buzhou Mountain, when the demon emperor Candle Jiuyin had just left Beihai, the demon demon had fought with the fire witch Zhurong for three days and three nights, and in the end there was still no victory or defeat.

Although Xia Yu obtained the power of the origin spar and the Pangu totem, he also evolved to the ninth order, but he didn't think that he already had the power comparable to the three witches, even if he defeated the mocking wind, the gap between him and the three witches was still very huge.

And decades ago, the fox was already able to tie with the fire witch, and now the fox is definitely stronger than then, and the gap between Xia Yu and him can be imagined.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu felt solemn, and a sense of anxiety haunted his heart, at present, the entire Zhaoyao Mansion urgently needs to improve its strength, and he is even more so, because at present, only he has the capital to confront the demon king.

But how do you improve your strength?

Ancient treasures like the Origin Crystal can be obtained by God's blessing, and if you want to get the second piece, it is a fool's dream. And apart from the Origin Crystal, what other way can you quickly increase your strength?

The next day, Xia Yu went to discuss with Chi Songzi.

Chi Songzi was well-informed and knew a lot of things that others didn't know, so she shook her head and said: " If you want to defeat the raccoon, it is almost impossible, at least for now, it is like this, the original fire witch, the fire totem has evolved to the top level, that is, the twelfth layer, but it is still only tied with the fox, that is to say, if you want to defeat the fox, then the totem needs to evolve to at least the top twelve layers, and even so, the probability of winning will not exceed fifty percent, not to mention, at the moment, although your totem is the highest nine layers among the human race of Zhaoyao Mansion, but there is still a big gap from the twelfth layer, and you want to rush up within three months, unless, you can find another origin spar, but it is obviously even more impossible, alas!”

Speaking of this, Chi Songzi couldn't help but sigh.

Xia Yu didn't expect Chi Songzi to be so pessimistic, and his mood became heavier for a while.

Chi Songzi said slowly: "Perhaps, the opinion I denied last night is the only way out, we may not really stick to this swagger mansion that we can't hold at all!"

Xia Yu was also speechless for a while, he really couldn't think of any way to solve the dilemma in front of him.

At the beginning, Zhaoyao Mansion was originally intended to be used as a base, but in the process of attacking, the heavy damage suffered by the Terrans was somewhat unexpected, and the resources in Zhaoyao Mansion were not as rich as expected, which directly led to the fact that it was difficult for the Terrans to have the strength to confront the Quicksand Mansion in a short period of time.

Just when both of them were frowning, suddenly Wu Luo hurriedly came to report, saying that he had discovered something very strange.

It turned out that early in the morning, Wu Luo went out to inspect the camp, and when he walked to the open space in the east of the city, he suddenly found that something was wrong.

This tree can only be regarded as a sapling, only as tall as an adult's knee, it looks a bit like a peach tree, but the leaves are much thicker than the peach tree, and it is very rare, an ordinary sapling, at least twenty or thirty leaves, but this sapling, but only one leaf, which has to make people feel even more strange.

Wu Luo really couldn't figure out why such a strange tree would pop up here, so he could only ask someone to take care of it, and then hurriedly came to report the red pine nuts.

"Really?" Akamatsuko listened, but his expression moved, "Go and see!"

Xia Yu also went to see what was going on. When the three of them came to the clearing, they saw that there were two warriors, who were inserting wooden sticks into the ground to make a fence and enclose the sapling.

Take a closer look, the sapling really looks very unique, the ordinary sapling, the branches are blue-black, but this sapling, but the scarlet, in this world, the red sapling is not nothing, but like this blood-stained scarlet, it is unheard of.

At first glance, it is easy to think that the trunk is stained with blood, but when you touch it with your hands, you can see that it is not blood, but the original color of the branch.

At the top of the trunk, there is the only leaf, this leaf, is even more unique, it is said to be a leaf, but it is not the kind of light and fluttering leaves, but fleshy, but a bit like the small hands of a newborn baby, and the veins on it are also scarlet, like blood vessels, which looks quite weird.

"Strange, what kind of tree is this?" Xia Yu suddenly became curious, he grew up on the edge of the snowy mountain since he was a child, and he had seen a lot of trees, but he had never seen such a unique tree.

He glanced at it in a blink of an eye, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Chi Songzi's solemn expression, without saying a word, and couldn't help asking, "My lord, do you recognize this tree?"

"This tree is," said Akamatsuko, pointing to the strange tree, and said in an excited voice, his beard trembling as he spoke, and his face glowed with a strange brilliance.

"What is this tree?" Xia Yu asked curiously.

Chi Songzi didn't say any more, but suddenly frowned, and said to himself: "No, no, according to legend, it has long been extinct and no longer exists, how could it suddenly appear here?
