211 Nine stars are a strange treasure
"Let's go, let's go back to the cave, I'll go back and make you something to eat."
The Ancient Tree of Life appeared for only one day.
In order to save time and leave more time to look for ancient trees, on this day, he and Liu Erlong were basically both hungry and nibbling on a mouthful of dried meat, and thirsty grabbing a handful of snow and putting it in their mouths to quench their thirst.
Now, there is too little time left, even Ye Huang, who never gives up easily, has no hope in his heart at this time.
Seeing that a large number of dark clouds began to gather again, and snowflakes gradually floated in the air, Ye Huang took a deep breath, suppressed the depression in his heart, stood up, took Liu Erlong's jade hand, and prepared to return to the cave.
"Huh? What's going on? β
Just as Ye Huang and Liu Erlong got up and were about to go back, a strange thing suddenly happened.
In the pitch-black sky, a dazzling star actually pierced the thick clouds and appeared in the field of vision of the two.
And that's not all, shortly after the appearance of a star, followed by a second, a third, a fourthγγγγγγ
When the ninth star appeared in the night sky, the entire summit of the Ice Flame Mountain was illuminated by these nine bright stars as if it were day, without any dead ends.
This sudden change also blinded Ye Huang and Liu Erlong.
It is really unusual that there are so many dazzling stars in the dark cloud-covered sky.
The two of them also stopped, carefully inspecting this rare spectacle.
The change continued, and when the two of them looked up at the sky, the nine stars in the sky began to change positions.
The nine stars, which were already chaotic, moved slowly, gradually converging into a straight line.
"It's a nine-star star star!"
Looking at the stars in the sky connected in a straight line, Liu Erlong couldn't help but sigh.
"I didn't expect that I would be able to see the once-in-a-millennium nine-star star star in my lifetime."
When Liu Erlong sighed, the spectacle continued to evolve, and the moment these stars were connected into a straight line, except for the first star, the starlight emitted by the other eight stars slowly converged, and then became dim until it disappeared.
As the body of the other stars was blocked by the first star, the light of this first star became more and more dazzling.
When the light of the first star reached its peak, suddenly, a pillar of light shot out from this brilliant star.
Shine on the snow at the top of Iceflame Mountain.
Immediately after that, a light gate also suddenly appeared where the pillar of light shone brightly.
This light gate is more magnificent and more primitive than the light gate of the ancient ruins that Ye Huang discovered last time.
It seems to have gone through the vicissitudes of 10,000 years.
"This is the light gate of the ancient ruins."
Seeing the light gate not far away, Ye Huang couldn't help but scream.
He didn't expect to find traces of ancient ruins again in this inaccessible Ice Flame Mountain.
Moreover, the light gate in front of him was very different from the ancient ruin light gate that Ye Huang had seen before.
There is no light shield on the outside of the light gate, which means that anyone can enter this ancient ruin.
"Brother Ye Huang, you said that the ancient tree of life that the two of us have been looking for all this time will be in this ancient ruins."
Looking at the quaint light gate in front of him, Liu Erlong said softly.
The reason why she had such a guess was also because the time when this ancient ruin appeared was too weird.
It was exactly within the time period that was written in the books.
Moreover, this nine-star star alignment spectacle is the same as the frequency of the ancient tree of life, and it only appears once in a thousand years.
"The time and place are very consistent, and it is really possible!"
Hearing Liu Erlong's words, Ye Huang pondered for a moment, then nodded.
"Let's go, let's take a look."
Regardless of whether this ancient ruin was related to the ancient tree of life that Ye Huang was looking for, he was ready to go inside to investigate.
Baoshan is in front of him, and Ye Huang will certainly not return empty-handed.
"Sister Liu, there are many dangers inside the ancient ruins, you must be careful to deal with them."
"Once inside, you rush to the central area, where we meet."
After experiencing the last trip to the ancient ruins, Ye Huang also had experience, knowing that after they entered the ancient ruins, they would be randomly scattered to different places.
Before entering the light gate, agree with Liu Erlong on a place to meet.
"yes, okay."
"Brother Ye Huang, you have to be careful."
Liu Erlong also did not forget to tell Ye Huang.
"Well, I will."
"Sister Liu, I'll wait for you in the ancient ruins."
With that, Ye Huang turned around and walked into the light gate.
The whole body also slowly disappeared into the light gate.
After a whirlwind, Ye Huang felt his feet on the ground.
He shook his swollen head and slowly opened his eyes.
Before he could observe his surroundings, a wave of energy came from not far away, followed by a vortex of energy.
"Possessed by the Strange Furry Heavenly Chrysanthemum!"
He didn't know what would appear in this energy vortex, so he hurriedly summoned his martial soul and put on a posture that could attack at any time.
"Huh."
A slight sound came from the energy vortex, followed by a black shadow flying out of the vortex.
It staggered to the ground.
This black shadow was none other than Liu Erlong, who followed Ye Huang into the light gate.
When Ye Huang saw that it was Liu Erlong, he hurriedly put away his martial soul and walked over quickly.
"Red Dragon Possession."
As soon as Liu Erlong landed, her mind was still groggy, and when she heard the footsteps on the ground, she hurriedly summoned her martial spirit.
"Sister Liu, it's me."
Afraid that Liu Erlong would attack him, Ye Huang hurriedly reminded him.
"It's Brother Ye Huang."
Hearing the familiar voice, Liu Erlong also relaxed his vigilance, slowly opened his eyes, and happily looked at Ye Huang who was walking towards him.
Before entering the ancient ruins, she had been worried about Ye Huang's safety, but now that the two of them were lucky to be put in the same place, the uneasiness in Liu Erlong's heart was also gently put down.
In fact, it's not that the two of them were lucky enough to teleport to the same place, but that the ancient ruins that the two entered were really a bit small.
Looking up, you can see the energy mask on the edge of the ancient ruins opposite.
And this ancient ruin is not like the ancient ruin that Ye Huang went to last time, there are not only large forests, but also soul beasts, and the palace complex.
The ancient ruins where the two of them are now, as far as the eye can see, the entire ground is bare, and there is not even a single grass sprout.
The feeling to Ye Huang is desolate, lonely, and without any vitality
Fortunately, there was an ancient house in the middle of this ancient ruin, otherwise Ye Huang would even feel that he had entered an abandoned place.
"Sister Liu, let's go to that old house and have a look."
Ye Huang pointed to the old house with red walls and black tiles in the middle of the ancient ruins and said.
It's all here, of course you have to investigate, although Ye Huang's heart doesn't have much hope for this place.
In Ye Huang's heart, the ancient tree of life should live in a place with strong aura, not such a barren land where no grass grows.
"Let's go."
Hearing Ye Huang's words, Liu Erlong said with great interest.
Although Liu Erlong has heard of the name of the ancient ruins, it is the first time that the eldest girl has been in a sedan chair when he enters the ancient ruins.
She thought that the ancient ruins that Ye Huang entered last time were as desolate as this.
Hearing Ye Huang say that she was going to hunt for treasure in the house in front of her, her face immediately showed an eager expression.
The ancient ruins are not big, and the place where Ye Huang and Liu Erlong landed is not far from the house, and with the foot strength of the two of them, they came to the front of the house in the time of a pillar of incense.
The gate of the yard was already covered with dust.
"Squeak!"
Ye Huang gently pushed with his hand, and the gate of the courtyard opened.
"Looks like there's really nothing good here."
The last time they went to the ancient ruins, it took a lot of effort for them to open the gates of the palace complex.
This time he pushed open the gate of the courtyard so easily, and Ye Huang's heart was completely dead to this trip to the ancient ruins.
In the yard, as outside, not a single living plant was planted.
Only a huge ancient tripod stands in the middle of the courtyard.
Seeing this huge Gu Ding, the two of them also looked at it carefully.
I saw that the interior of the ancient ding was filled with sacrificial incense ashes.
Time has passed, and these incense ashes have been glued to each other.
On the top of the ancient tripod is carved a large tree with lush branches and leaves.
In front of the big tree are the three animal sacrifices: the whole pig, the whole cow, and the whole sheep.
In front of the sacrifice were countless human beings kneeling.
From the gestures of the humans, it seemed as if they were praying to the tree.
"The big tree on this ancient tripod is actually somewhat similar to the ancient tree of life!"
"No, it should be more lush than the ancient tree of life, and it bears more fruit."
Ye Huang took out the ancient map of unknown material from the soul guide, and stood in front of the ancient ding and carefully compared it.
From time to time, there was a look of excitement on his face.
He originally thought that he would find nothing this time, but he didn't expect to make a new discovery in this inconspicuous courtyard.
And it's a new discovery about the ancient tree of life.
"Sister Liu, let's go into the room and have a look."
The excited Ye Huang directly took Liu Erlong's hand, bypassed Gu Ding, and came to the front gate of the house.
It was as easy as opening the gate of the courtyard, and with a slight push of Ye Huang's hand, the main entrance of the house was pushed open.
The moment he pushed it away, a strong breath of life came to his face.
Feeling the majestic breath of life, Ye Huang and Liu Erlong seemed to have 100,000 pores on their bodies open at the same time.
The indescribable comfort all over my body, and the fatigue in my body disappeared in an instant.
"There's got to be some great treasure in there."
Ye Huang and Liu Erlong exchanged glances with each other, and looked into the room in unison.
The things in the room were as simple as the outside, the floor was paved with polished stones, and in the middle there was a Gu Ding that was slightly smaller than the outside.
Moreover, this ancient tripod in the interior and the stones on the entire ground are a whole, without any bonding places.
Apparently the Guding and the ground were carved out of the same large stone.
Ye Huang silently calculated in his heart that this stone had at least tens of thousands of tons of weight before it was carved.
"How much mana does it take to move such a large stone to this place."
Looking at the ground and the ancient ding in front of him, Ye Huang sighed secretly in his heart.
On the periphery and ground of the ancient ding, a strange pattern was carved with unknown beast blood.
It seems to be some kind of magic circle that Ye Huang doesn't know.
The breeze blew, and there was a rustling sound in the ancient ding, and bursts of refreshing fragrance instantly filled the air.
Although the size of this ancient tripod in the interior is much smaller than the one in the courtyard, its four tripods are much higher than those outside.
Dingkou is only a man-high distance from the top of the house.
Even if Ye Huang tried his neck to move forward, there was no way to see what was in this ancient ding.
"Sister Liu, I'll go inside and take a look."
"In case something is wrong, you pull me out."
The patterns depicted in this room were too weird, and the two of them didn't dare to step into it easily at first, in order to find out the treasure in the ancient ding, Ye Huang planned to enter the room first to investigate.
Leave Liu Erlong to answer outside.
"I'd better go, my soul power is stronger than yours."
Hearing Ye Huang's words, Liu Erlong replied immediately.
"No, I'm not in the habit of letting my own women take risks."
Ye Huang strongly rejected Liu Erlong's kindness.
"You're out there answering me."
As he spoke, Ye Huang took out a long iron chain from the soul guide, tied one end to his waist, and handed it over to Liu Erlong's hand, turned around and slowly walked into the room.
Ye Huang slowly moved his body towards Gu Ding in the room.
While exerting his spiritual power, he sensed all the changes around him.
Along the way, he found that the closer he was to Guding, the stronger the breath and fragrance of life in the air.
Soon, Ye Huang moved to the front of Gu Ding.
He gently grabbed the corner of Gu Ding, slowly climbed up, and stretched out his head to look at the source of the fragrance.
I saw that at the bottom of the ancient ding, there were some liquid that was green and full of life.
In the center of the liquid is a small tree about two meters tall.
There was some darkness in the ding, and Ye Huang couldn't see what kind of plant this little tree was.
In order to be able to see the appearance of this small tree clearly, Ye Huang also hurriedly took out a fire fold from the soul guide, lit it and shone it into the ding.
"This, this is the Ancient Tree of Life."
When Ye Huang saw the small tree at the bottom of the Gu Ding, his face showed a look of ecstasy.
"Sister Liu, I found it, the ancient tree of life was found."
Ye Huang happily shouted to Ye Huang outside the door.
"Great."
Hearing Ye Huang's words, Liu Erlong's heart was also very excited.
Afraid that something would happen, she hurriedly opened her mouth to urge.
"Brother Ye Huang, hurry up and pick the fruit of life and keep it."
"Okay, Sister Liu, I'll pick it right away."
Ye Huang said as he took out a jade box from his soul guide.
It was carefully placed under the fruit at the top of the ancient tree of life.
The fruit is ripe and gives off an enticing aroma.
As soon as Ye Huang's hand touched it, the fruit fell off the ancient tree of life and fell into the jade box prepared in advance.
But what Ye Huang didn't expect was that the moment this fruit of life fell into the box, a strange scene happened again.
The ancient tree of life that he was holding in his left hand was withering at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
