Chapter 57: The Strange Forest Swamp

The more Ye Cheng traveled deeper into the Strange Forest Swamp, the more difficult it was for the swamp to break free from the mud and dense tree roots. In terms of size, maybe it would be more convenient for Ye Cheng to change back into his human form to explore the Strange Forest Swamp, but Ye Cheng's strength in the humanoid state will drop a lot, and if he encounters any emergencies in this dangerous place, he may be attacked before he has time to change his form. Therefore, for safety reasons, Ye Cheng still maintained the dragon form.

Fortunately, Ye Cheng's four dragon claws are very sharp, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the iron is like mud, so when the roots under the silt are entangled, Ye Cheng can easily cut it off and break free, which greatly reduces the pressure of Ye Cheng's travel.

As Ye Cheng went deeper and deeper into the inner perimeter of the Strange Forest Swamp, the tree spirits on the swamp grew more and more densely, and their strength became stronger and stronger. Although the dryads still haven't transformed, compared to the strength of the late stage of the dark one's transformation, Ye Cheng estimates that these dryads have reached the strength of the early and even middle stages of transformation.

If it was one-on-one, Ye Cheng would not be afraid of these little minions at all, but there were thousands of tree spirits in this strange forest swamp! There are many ants that can bite and kill elephants, not to mention that these are not weak tree spirits.

Now even Ye Cheng didn't want to go into the area where the tree spirit was concentrated, so he could only try to pick some places where the tree spirit was sparse. If it is entangled by a large number of tree spirit branches, even if Ye Cheng's strength is not low, it will take a lot of energy to break free. What bothered Ye Cheng was not the tree spirit's branch puncture that couldn't break his defense at all, but the tree spirit's ability to wrap its branches, which was really a dense cage that kept cutting and tidying up.

When approaching the deepest part of the Strange Forest Swamp, the dense tree spirits almost covered the entire swamp, and the branches and roots of the tree spirits almost formed a high wall of trees in front of Ye Cheng. There were no longer any slightly larger creatures under such a dense wall of dryads, not even the rough-skinned swamp crocodiles, let alone other creatures.

If this is really a wall, it's okay to say, just this height of less than 100 meters, Ye Cheng can cross it with a jump, but Ye Cheng knows that behind the tree spirit wall is still a dense tree spirit wall, jumping over it has no effect at all, and if he lands unsteadily, he is likely to be entangled in dense branches, which will be very bad at that time.

Thinking of no other better way, Ye Cheng could only pick up his old job, and a continuous wave of thermal radiation light shot straight at the dense tree wall in front of him.

The underground is full of stagnant swamps, and here is a tropical rainforest, the water vapor is humid, Ye Cheng is not afraid of starting a forest fire, he is only afraid that this thermal energy radiation light wave will not have the effect he expected.

Fortunately, things didn't go in a worse direction, and a straight circular passage of almost three hundred meters appeared in front of Ye Cheng. Although the dryads are mountain spirits and wild monsters that have become spirits, they are only slightly more than ordinary trees under the irradiation of this ultra-high temperature thermal type nuclear radiation light wave, and under the continuous thermal light wave spray, the tree spirits also turn into charcoal.

Without thinking much about it, Ye Cheng went straight into this tree wall tunnel that he had built with his own hands. But the more he went inside, the more uncomfortable Ye Cheng felt, why did the tunnel in front of him seem to be getting narrower and narrower?

Ye Cheng looked back, not good! This is not Ye Cheng's illusion, the tunnel is really getting narrower and narrower! Because the tunnel behind Ye Cheng is already slowly closing!

"Damn! It's these abominable dryads! Their roots can be active! I should have thought of it a long time ago! They can roam freely in this swamp! ”

Ye Cheng also thought of the reason, but now that he had drilled in, it would be a waste of physical strength and nothing to gain if he drilled out again, so Ye Cheng decided to move on. He firmly believed that there must be some strange treasure in the center of the Strange Forest Swamp, and even the trees on the periphery had mutated into tree spirits, and Ye Cheng didn't believe that there would be nothing strange in the most central place.

It was still a thermal energy type nuclear radiation light wave, this time Ye Cheng did not continue to spray, but only emptied the area of a hundred meters in front of him, anyway, if it was sprayed far away, it would be covered by the moving tree spirits, it was better to take a step to empty a small piece of space.

If this place is still very far away from the most central bizarre, then even if Ye Cheng has a steady stream of nuclear energy core rods to replenish energy, he will eventually collapse to the ground after making ends meet. So Ye Cheng set a standard, and when the nuclear energy was halfway consumed, he would turn around and go back if he didn't see hope. It's just a task, it's not worth Ye Cheng to pay such a big price, and there are still a few dangerous places behind that have not been explored, and there is no need to hang yourself on a tree.

Fortunately, the place where Ye Cheng opened the tunnel at the beginning seemed to be not far from the most central place, and when the core energy of the body was consumed by nearly one-third, Ye Cheng saw the light of the stars coming from behind the tree wall, which meant that Ye Cheng could reach the destination by crossing this small section of the tree wall.

After seeing the hope, Ye Cheng immediately lifted his spirits, and a continuous thermal radiation light wave completely opened up this last section of the passage, and Ye Cheng saw the light emitted by the exit of the passage.

Before the dryad moved over to cover the exit, Ye Cheng had completely stepped out of the high wall of trees and entered this clearing.

After completely stepping into this open space with a radius of seven or eight hundred meters, Ye Cheng knew why such a large open space appeared behind this dense tree spirit wall. Because the dryads simply can't survive in this clearing!

A large tree with a height of between 200 and 250 meters grows straight and tall here. The huge canopy of the tree is like a giant canopy, completely blocking the sunlight in the sky. Dense aerial roots and vines fell from a height to the ground like jungle pythons. Ye Cheng didn't know what kind of giant tree it was, it looked very much like a big banyan tree he had seen before from the bottom, but the leaves on the canopy were not the round leaves of a banyan tree, but jagged and barbed, which looked dangerous.

Ye Cheng didn't know if the tree spirits wanted sunlight, but even if they didn't, Ye Cheng estimated that they would not enter the territory of this giant tree to survive, which was the most basic respect for the strong.

And the light that Ye Cheng saw was a little bit of sunlight leaking from the gap between the edge of the giant tree's canopy and the wall of the tree spirit. This gap is not very wide, only about five meters wide, but compared to the dark tree forest, the sunlight emitted is enough for Ye Cheng to see clearly.

The tree spirits on the periphery can attack freely, and Ye Cheng doesn't believe that this central "tree spirit king" will be an ordinary giant tree without consciousness. Although he looked immobile now, Ye Cheng was sure that as soon as he stepped into the range of the Dryad King's attack, he would face a stormy attack.

However, it is useless to wait in the outer clearing, to find out the strangeness here, Ye Cheng must enter the vicinity of the giant tree, Ye Cheng estimates that the treasures here must be kept by the "Dryad King". If Ye Cheng wants to seize this unknown treasure, then there must be a battle between the two!
