Chapter 299: The Fall of the Holy Tree
"Could it be that these bugs are parasitic on that parasitic plant?" Jiang Yuling, who saw this scene, said.
"Probably not." "In nature, there are many animals and plants that have a symbiotic relationship, one side provides the other with beneficial survival assistance, and at the same time, they can also get the help of the other, rely on each other, and support each other. ”
"What kind of symbiotic relationship, I think it's an embarrassment." Jiang Yuling said coldly.
Hearing this, Luo Mian chuckled twice, "You are not wrong to say so, but the symbiotic relationship is very strong, and the strength will also be the effect of one plus one is greater than two, but once they are separated from each other, both sides or one of them will not survive." ”
"However, then again, it is a bit ridiculous that the majestic sacred tree was almost folded in the hands of a parasitic plant."
This feels like a powerhouse in the Martial King Realm, losing to an ordinary three-year-old child.
Jiang Yuling didn't pay attention to Luo Mian's complaints, because she found another thing, those bugs that kept attacking Bai Bai and the demon had changed at some point.
From the original round, thumb-sized body has become more slender, and two black whiskers have grown on the top of the head.
In addition to these changes in appearance, the mouthparts of these insects have become sharper, and when attacked, they will explode directly, splashing their bodies with corrosive liquids everywhere.
The body fluids that exuded a pungent smell dripped down on Bai Bai and the demon's body, making a corrosive sound of "zizi".
Seeing this scene, Jiang Yuling was immediately distressed and decided to take back the tree and vine first.
"White white demon, you two will come back first."
There is not only one kind of bug that coexists with that parasitic plant, this is the second kind, and no one knows if there is anything behind.
Obediently stopped attacking, but at this time, the demon was already enraged, full of anger, and vowed to destroy all these black bugs.
I saw that the vines of the demon were expanding rapidly, and the originally bare vines grew bright buds, and the air was filled with a sweet and greasy smell.
And those black bugs that were originally attacking frantically also quieted down at this time.
As the buds on the bloodthirsty demon vine bloomed one after another, the bodies of those black bugs bloomed along with them.
The parasitic plant is still summoning a steady stream of bugs, however, no matter how much it summons, it will eventually become the nourishment of the demon.
After seeing the demon suppress the parasitic plant again, Jiang Yuling and Luo Mian took the opportunity to cross the river formed by the shimmering jellyfish and came to the side of the holy tree.
At this time, the sacred tree was already very weak, and the whole tree was in a state of malnutrition.
It stands to reason that it should be very easy for it to get rid of parasitism as a sacred wood, but it didn't do that.
Jiang Yu Ning looked at the roots of the sacred tree.
The trunk of the sacred tree was about the thickness of her arm, but the roots were swollen and faintly black.
If you look closely, where are the roots of the tree, it is clear that there are layers of entangled black vines.
At this time, Jiang Yuling also knew why the holy tree did not choose to leave, but let itself be parasitized, because it could not leave, because the parasitic plant was parasitic on its roots.
"Look, there's a fruit here that's turning red."
Before, Jiang Yuling saw three baby's fist-sized fruits hanging from the canopy of the sacred tree, but they were cyan, and it was obviously not ripe, but they didn't expect that on the other side of the canopy, where they didn't see, there was actually a fruit that was fully ripe.
"That's the fruit of the holy wood, it's very precious, this one is ripe, and the other three are not ripe, although they can't compare to this one that is ripe, but it's also very precious, master, you hurry up and pick them all off, otherwise they will be eaten by the holy wood in a while." Bai Bai said a little anxiously.
Sure enough, in this short period of time, the size of the fruit that had already matured was directly reduced, and the sacred tree itself grew a lot taller, the trunk became thicker, and the crown became more lush.
Seeing that the ripe holy fruit was about to be absorbed, Jiang Yuling hurriedly picked off the only half of the holy fruit, and by the way, also picked the three unripe holy fruits.
After solving the problem of the holy fruit, Jiang Yuling directly took out the blasting charm and used it to the parasitic plants parasitic on the roots of the holy tree.
This parasitic plant almost encased the roots of the sacred tree in it, and it was no wonder that the sacred tree chose to absorb the holy fruit it condensed in search of a glimmer of hope to break free.
As Jiang Yuling blasted one by one, on the battlefield on the other side, the black vines and endless black worms that caused great trouble to the cultivators, as if they couldn't be killed, actually began to retreat.
And everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It wasn't until Jiang Yuling blew up the last vine wrapped around the root of the sacred tree that a terrible scream echoed in the cave, making people shudder.
The holy wood was held in the whole hand by Jiang Yuling, and finally turned into a green spar that exuded the power of pure wood spirit.
I didn't expect it to be so easy, Jiang Yuling looked at the holy wood essence in her hand, all the energy of the holy wood was condensed here, and she didn't think it would go so well.
"I think I don't have much time, after all, I've been parasitized for so long, so I should have planned to die with that parasitic plant at the beginning."
After all, the entire root is tightly wrapped, but it still bears four holy fruits, one of which is fully ripe, and it is conceivable what the price will have to pay to achieve this step.
Even without them, the Holy Wood wouldn't have survived for long.
Luo Mian looked at the Holy Wood Essence in Jiang Yuling's hand, and there was no jealousy or greed in his eyes.
Something is good, but not for him.
Without the continuous supply of energy from the Holy Wood, the demon quickly ended the battle and returned to Jiang Yuling's side.
"Master, I'm so uncomfortable." The demon turned into a small turquoise vine, wrapped around Jiang Yuling's wrist, and rubbed it coquettishly.
"Uncomfortable? It can't be a bad stomach, right? Thinking of those black bugs just now, Jiang Yuling couldn't help frowning, "In the future, you won't be allowed to eat out without my permission." ”
In fact, the bloodthirsty demon vine that had just eaten had a small red flower on its head, and nodded cutely, "Mmmm, the demon knows, those insects are unpalatable, and I don't want to eat them anymore." ”
At this moment, the stump of the black vine that had just been thrown to the ground by Jiang Yuling suddenly began to wriggle as if it was alive, and a spiderweb-like crack appeared on it, from which a blue-black poisonous mist erupted.
