Chapter 102: Cracked Shadow
When Ling Chen cut it off, a sense of danger arose spontaneously and hurriedly turned around, but it was already too late, his eyes couldn't help but stare at it, only to feel that a black shadow flashed in front of him, followed by a muffled sound, and the whole person flew out completely upside down, and he fell to the ground unconscious without even having time to react into the small tower.
After Ling Chen fell to the ground, the branches on the ground were afraid of him, spreading on him little by little, and then the whole person was completely overwhelmed by the branches.
Above the clearing, there were densely twitching branches, which looked very terrifying, and the two raised garden bags in the middle of the branches were Ling Chen and the others.
The branches wrapped around the two of them, and then gradually disappeared into the cracks.
The rift was not spreading, but there was a creepy chill, and there seemed to be a sonorous sound in the horror.
Liu Zefei and his party, not far away, were also surrounded by branches at this time, and there were only eight people left in the team of dozens of people now.
"Old Mu, do you know what this is?" Liu Zefei no longer held his bare hands as before, but asked suspiciously with a long sword glowing blue to the surrounding branches.
Mu Baifeng's face was very ugly, and he held a short sword in his hand and replied in a heavy tone: "Dryad!"
"Dryad?" Ma Rong was puzzled when he heard this, although he had been in this area for so long, he had heard nothing about this dryad.
Mu Baifeng heard Ma Rong's inquiring tone, glanced at it with a frown, and then said helplessly: "Your news has been collected in vain, this tree demon is the head of the four evils of the Psychedelic Valley!"
Mu Baifeng organized his words slightly, stared at the surrounding branches and replied: "There are legends of dryads in the savage forest, and these dryads have survived in the savage forest for more than a thousand years, and their lives are very long, and they can finally open their spiritual wisdom. β
"It is rumored that the dryad can speak people's mouths, and after thousands of years of cultivation, the rhizomes are intertwined and spread to most of the savage forests, and the ability to restore fΓΉ has reached a terrifying level, and this dryad. β
"By chance, I read in a different article that the dryad has reached the realm of alien beasts, and all the trees are its eyes and ears, and the attack is very strange and difficult. β
"Strange beast!" Ma Rong couldn't help but exclaim, how terrifying the rumored strange beast was, he had heard of it, and he had encountered it like this at this time!
The first-order alien beast was already comparable to the early stage of the human martial sect, but fortunately, the strength of him and Mu Baifeng was at the same time as the early stage of the martial sect, and Liu Zefei had reached the strength of the middle stage of the martial sect.
Presumably, the strength of this tree demon is only a low-level beast, and there are three martial sect stage powerhouses on his side, so he can naturally win easily.
"I'm afraid that he will do much, just a low-level alien beast, you and I are also martial arts sects, how can you not take it!" Ma Rong was already eager to try the long knife in his hand.
"Master, I'm afraid this dryad is not so simple. Yu Haosheng, who was on the side, cut off the branches in front of him and said, "We can't even solve these branches now, let alone find the tree demon." β
Mu Baifeng nodded with satisfaction when he heard this: "Yes, although this tree demon is only a low-level beast, its ability can be said to reach the sky, and after thousands of years of precipitation, the defense power has reached a terrifying level, even if the Martial Sect is difficult to break through the defense." β
"Unless"
"Unless it's something!" Ma Rong was very annoyed by Mu Baifeng, and said impatiently, very anxious.
"We have a Xuan Soldier, and with our full blow, we will definitely be able to kill it!"
Ma Rong couldn't help but roll his eyes at him when he heard this, he also knew the rarity of this Xuan Bing, although their Zitian Sect was a second-grade sect, but only the sect master and a sect had Xuan Bing to worship all, and now he was in the wilderness, where did he come from.
Liu Zefei didn't pay attention to the two of them, and kept waving the long sword with one hand, seemingly casually scribbling but revealing a sharp aura, each blow with a slight sound of breaking through the air, even the fist-thick branch was broken under his blow.
Liu Zefei cleaned up the branches and emitted the Xuan Power to sense the existence of the Dryad, and there was such a crack on the poisonous swamp just after they walked through it, and along with the crack, there was also an inexplicable sense of danger.
But this tree demon is too weird, with the strength of his middle martial sect, he can't detect this guy's life breath, and these spreading branches can't be cut down no matter how they are cut, this tree demon really let him see what it means to be difficult.
"Is there a weakness?" asked with a solemn expression as Yanagisawa retreated from his sword body and looked at the branches that had been broken but regrown by the green mang.
"Yes!"
"But it's hard. Mu Baifeng waved the short sword in his hand a few times, and then replied: "The bark of this thing is tough, as I said before, it is difficult to break without Xuan Bing, and after breaking it, you must find the beast core condensed by the dryad, and you can only kill it by smashing it in one fell swoop." β
When Liu Zefei heard this, he couldn't help but admire the weirdness and strength of this tree demon, ordinary alien beasts also need to be above the fifth order to condense the beast core, and this tree demon has now condensed the attribute beast core, which is really shocking.
But the tension in his heart was even stronger, and a fierce beast with an attribute beast core had no way to start!
"Old Mu, can your gourd still be used?" The surrounding branches spread again, and the growth rate became even more crazy, and there was no time to think about countermeasures to deal with the dryad, and the most important thing was to get all the branches in front of you.
"Yes. Mu Baifeng answered, and took out the red gourd from his arms.
The Xuanli in the dantian converged and rose directly from the previous general hand condensation of Xuanli, from the bottom of the gourd to quickly pull forward, when the palm of the hand was aimed at the mouth, the plug fell off a trace of flame breath began to spread outward, when Mu Baifeng held the fire gourd with both hands, the bottle mouth suddenly ignited a raging fire and the strip breath at the mouth of the bottle echoed and rotated.
The flames burned, and the flames surged. The withered hand-like branches quickly retreated as quickly as they shy after the flames were raised.
Mu Baifeng continued to urge the beast flame gourd with his mysterious force, the palm-sized gourd kept touching the flames outward, and the carved talismans on the gourd lit up one after another, and after a while, the red light filled the entire gourd body, and the flames at the mouth of the gourd instantly condensed into a flame lion with the red light to the extreme.
As soon as the flame lion was completed, the stability of the surrounding area increased rapidly, everyone present broke out in hot sweat, and the branches continued to converge in horror.
"Go!"
As Mu Baifeng spat out a word in his mouth, the flame lion suddenly surged towards the branches with a whistling sound.
Whew!
The heat wave quickly invaded the branches on the ground, and as soon as the beast fire stuck to the branches, it began to burn wildly, constantly twisting and flapping, and the scene was very amazing.
The raging flames continued to burn the branches and vines, and in a short time all the branches and vines in front of them were reduced to ashes.
"Boom!"
Seeing that the beast fire was working, Mu Baifeng exhaled a burst word in his mouth again, and then made a gesture, and the flames that were still condensed instantly exploded, turning into a rolling heat wave and raging towards the surroundings.
Suddenly, there was a sea of fire around it, and the branches of the trees were burning, accompanied by thick smoke constantly drifting in the mist.
Mu Baifeng's face was calm, looking at the ruins and the spreading flames on the ground, but his heart was already dripping blood in distress.
This beast flame gourd contained the beast fire of the seventh-order alien beast Flame Lion, which he had spent nearly ten first-grade pills in exchange for when he was traveling. Although the Beast Flame Fire Gourd is extremely powerful, it can only be used twice, originally he planned to use it once to cross the poisonous swamp, and the other to refine the Bone Cutting Pill, but he didn't expect it to be destroyed in the hands of this tree demon this time.
The flames continued to burn along the branches, and most of the originally dense branches and vines had turned into ashes, and a few were still ruthlessly devoured by the beast fire.
Pulled by a few branches that spread out of the cracks, the beast fire gradually crept into the dark and deep cracks, and a trace of fire appeared in the originally dark cracks.
After the beast fire spread to the crack, it lit up the dark crack, and the fire continued to flicker like a candle in the wind, which looked very strange.
Mu Baifeng's heart ached, Liu Zefei, Ma Rong and the other disciples couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they looked at the tree demon vines in front of them that had turned into ashes, and now it undoubtedly gave them a chance to escape.
"Shh
An extremely unpleasant roar suddenly came from the crack, and then the ground shook violently beneath his feet. The figures of everyone shook with the earth, and several disciples accidentally fell directly to the ground, Qin Yuqing's mind stopped on Mu Baifeng's praise of Yu Haosheng before, but he didn't expect to encounter such a strong shaking, and he almost stumbled to the ground.
Fortunately, with the support of the long sword in his hand, he barely stood firm, but when he turned sideways, he saw Yu Haosheng looking at him, and found that his face couldn't help but turn red when he saw all of them, and Yu Haosheng just sneered and threw his eyes towards the crack.
Qin Yuqing's face became ugly when he saw this, but now the situation is critical, and the two masters are also present, and the most important thing is that the shaking in the crack really makes him feel a tingling scalp, and the sense of danger rushes straight to the back of his head.
Rumble!
As the ground shook violently, the crack began to expand outward, and there was a loud rumbling sound, and the deafening sound continued to echo, and everyone felt a pain at the root of their ears, hurriedly covered their ears, and looked at the crack with difficulty.
The crack continued to expand, and then the whole land began to shake violently, and the three of them originally stood in place with guΓ² Xuanli, but as the crack expanded, the whole shaking became more and more intense, and they could only stick the weapon in their hand into the ground and force it to hold on.
"Shhhh
Another unpleasant sound came from the crack, and countless branches rose up like waving vine snakes, and the ground that was originally full of ashes was covered with branches again, and each rattan branch was the thickness of a bowl, which was particularly terrifying.
The cracks, which were already pitch black, could be seen moving in the faint light of the fire, and the surrounding damaged trees began to whirre, and the large trees that had been burned by the fire pulled out new branches and young leaves together, and there was no appearance of the previous dilapidation.
Everyone had no time to pay attention to the changes around them, the shaking became more and more intense, and the branches waving in the air became thicker and thicker, and the sound from the cracks became even more harsh.
Just when everyone thought that the monster in the rift would appear, an unexpected situation appeared. R1058
