Chapter 377: Dying Wood, Revival of the Living
"Sigh Rule~"
With a long hiss, the speed of the star's wild run gradually slowed down, and finally the vague outline of the body became clear, and the body shrouded in the starlight was full of a strong sense of strength.
At this moment, it has come to the border between Beast Domain 47 and Beast Domain 76, which is a jungle of dead wood, and the bare branches in the night are like hideous twisted claws, hiding heart-palpitating fluctuations.
Xu Ran glanced at the dead wood forest in front of him, opened the map that Qi Yuan handed over to him and the information of the No. 76 Beast Domain, and after a while, his voice raised slightly, "There is a beast king living here. β
"Catch it, and ask the other party if they know the whereabouts of the demon wood demi-saint."
While saying this, Xu Ran's heart couldn't help but feel a little more emotional.
When he was still in the 97th Beast Domain, the Beastmaster was out of reach for him, and a Beastmaster soldier coming to the city was enough to bring a third-level town to the danger of destruction.
And now, for him, the Beastmaster level is already something that can be handled casually.
Ziyun didn't even bother to move, and waved his paw at Cancan, who was eager to try, signaling that it was enough for such a small character to let the third child go.
"Cha!" (Look at me!) οΌ
Cancan's figure melted into the earth, quickly disappeared, and after a while, he easily grabbed a giant wolf with blood-red hair and returned to Xu Ran.
The giant wolf beast king who was surging with a dark aura around his body originally had a little bit of resistance, but after seeing the imperial crown of Ziyun and Xingchen, like a trembling dog, he honestly lay on the ground and didn't dare to move.
Xu Ran pulled out the Mo Chai knife, and casually brushed the body of the Giant Wolf Beast King, leaving a deep knife mark tens of meters long on the ground, and then thrust the tip of the knife into the ground in front of the Giant Wolf Beast King, squatting down and staring at the Giant Wolf Beast King.
"I'll ask you something, and if you answer honestly, I won't touch you."
"You ask, as long as I know, I will say." The human aura in front of him was even a little more terrifying than that of the emperor race, and the giant wolf beast king didn't dare to have any other thoughts, so he hurriedly shouted that he would definitely cooperate.
Seeing this, Xu Ran nodded with satisfaction.
"Have you been in this dead wood forest all this time?"
"It's... Yes. The Giant Wolf Beast King nodded like pounded garlic, "During this time, my lair is deep in this dead wood forest, and I won't leave except once every three or five days when I go out to forage for food." β
"Have you seen any powerful creatures passing through here in the past few days?" Xu Ran's voice rose a little higher.
"Powerful creaturesβ" the Giant Wolf Beast King struggled to think, but finally shook his head, "The most powerful creatures that have passed through me during this time are you. β
"Hmm..." Xu Ran touched his chin, revealing a thoughtful look.
Also, if the Demon Wood Demi-Saint really passed by here, he would probably try his best to hide his aura from being discovered for the sake of safety.
With its means, the Giant Wolf Beast King couldn't even detect it.
Xu Ran decided to ask a different question.
"So during this time, have you seen any tree-like transcendent creatures, or found anything related to trees?"
"This..."The Giant Wolf Beast King's pupils shrank slightly, and the hesitation and entanglement in his eyes flashed.
This did not escape Xu Ran's eyes.
He was overjoyed, and immediately said in a deep voice, "Think clearly, if you hide something, you will definitely die!" β
"I..."The Giant Wolf Beast King hesitated for a moment, and then spoke slowly, "I said, you really don't kill me?" β
"You're not qualified to negotiate conditions."
"Okay." With a sigh in his heart, the Giant Wolf Beast King gritted his teeth and spoke, "Yesterday I was wandering around the dead wood forest and accidentally picked up a treasure that seemed to be the shape of a tree branch. β
Twig?
Xu Ran was pleasantly surprised, "Show me!" β
"The branch is in my lair." The Giant Wolf Beastmaster shrank his head.
"Lead the way." Xu Ran spoke without hesitation.
The strength of him and the five little ones far surpassed that of the Giant Wolf Beast King, and according to the intelligence, there was no more powerful existence in this vicinity, so he was not worried about the other party's deception at all.
"Come with me." Revealing its own chance, the giant wolf beast king seemed to accept its fate, it turned around and walked in the front, and soon arrived at the center of the dead wood forest, which belonged to its lair.
It was a huge hollow of dead wood, and outside the hollow was a pile of bones, both human and otherworldly.
This giant wolf, which was manipulated by Xu Ran and the five little ones at will, was famous in the No. 76 Beast Domain, and even this dead wood forest became a forbidden area.
The Giant Wolf Beast King walked straight out of the lair, and quickly walked out with a branch about one meter long, and placed it in front of Xu Ran, "This is what I picked up." β
On the branches, there is a surge of vitality, and there is a strange power permeating, it looks quite extraordinary, and there are blue and golden light patterns on the branches, which are extremely dim at the moment, but still clear.
Seeing these light patterns, Xu Ran knew that his guess was not wrong.
This is indeed a branch left by the Demon Wood Demi-Saint.
He couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart.
From the perspective of the Demon Wood Demi-Saint, it obviously didn't want its whereabouts to be exposed, so it was very unlikely that it deliberately left this branch.
The biggest possibility is that it really hurts too badly.
Plant-based supernatural beings have a lower ability to perceive their bodies than ordinary supernatural beings, and they do not feel pain when a branch breaks or a leaf falls.
In this case, it is very likely that the Demon Wood Demi-Saint is too badly injured and fled too hastily, and a branch falls without noticing.
Pinching this branch, Xu Ran's heart was a little heavy.
On this branch, there is a small fork, which looks like a place where the leaves are strewn, but now there are no leaves at this fork.
Thinking that every leaf of the Demon Wood Demi-Saint had an unpredictable power and could rewrite the order of an area in an instant, Xu Ran couldn't help but wonder if the Demon Wood De-Saint had exhausted all the leaves in that terrible battle.
He rubbed the branch, and suddenly his heart was blessed, and he took out a cyan leaf filled with golden veins from his bosom.
It was a leaf that the other party gave him in order to express his gratitude to him after he helped the Demon Wood Demi-Saint successfully evolve into the Holy Spirit Race.
This leaf itself has reached the strength of an epic-level resource.
According to the Demon Wood Demi-Saint, using this leaf, Xu Ran could instantly rewrite the order of the nearby area, but Xu Ran did not encounter any danger after obtaining it, so this leaf has never had a chance to use it.
This time looking for the Demon Wood Half-Saint, Xu Ran brought it over with the mentality of being able to use it in case.
Thinking that this might be the only remaining leaf of order of the Demon Wood Half-Saint, Xu Ran carefully pasted the leaf on the fork of the branch.
A hazy glimmer of light flashed, and the two fused together seamlessly, the leaves were as natural as growing on the branches, and the golden lines shimmered slightly, like breathing, and the blue-gold light patterns on the branches gradually brightened at this moment.
When the streaks of light were completely bright, an inexplicable, extremely faint attraction emerged from the branch in his hand.
Capturing this faint attraction, Xu Ran's eyes were filled with joy.
Although I don't know what the specific principle is, this awakened branch seems to be able to sense the position of the demon wood demi-saint at this moment.
"Xingchen, go over there!"
Xu Ran didn't look at the honest giant wolf beast king lying on the ground, and took the other four little ones to turn over and get on the horse, pointing in the direction where the attraction came from.
"Sigh Rule~"
With a hiss of the stars, one person and five pets disappeared in place.
The Giant Wolf Beast King raised his head in a daze, looking at the direction in which they had disappeared, and couldn't help but be stunned.
Really let yourself go? ββ
"Keep going!"
With Xu Ran's slightly hurried voice, Xingchen's figure turned into an afterimage in the No. 76 Beast Domain, and even the Beastmaster could hardly catch its traces.
As Xu Ran gradually approached the direction where the attraction came from, the attraction from the branches in his hand became stronger and stronger.
At this moment, the blue-gold light streaks on the branches were trembling slightly, as if they were showing excitement.
It's closer, it's getting closer.
Xu Ran was extremely sure that the Demon Wood Demi-Saint was somewhere ahead.
You can't go wrong!
"Stop!" A loud shout came from the side, and a huge figure quickly appeared, chasing in their direction.
Without waiting for it to say anything, Xu Ran casually threw out the purple cloud in his arms.
The thunder flashed, and the roar exploded, and before the transcendent creature surging with the strength of the king-level perfection could be seen clearly by Xu Ran, it was directly blasted out by Ziyun with a slap, and he was scorched black and didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
casually caught the purple cloud that came back, Xu Ran didn't look back, grabbed the branch with one hand and kept perceiving, staring at the front.
A secluded and inconspicuous valley with a path revealing in front of his eyes.
The moment he stepped into the valley, Xu Ran saw the figure of the demon wood half-saint.
It's just that the situation of the demon wood demi-saint at this moment is far worse than Xu Ran imagined.
Its huge body was seriously shrunk at the moment, only three or four meters high, not even as good as many ordinary trees, there was not a single leaf on its body, and the blue-gold light patterns on the branches and trunks were almost completely dim, and only a little could be faintly seen.
This state is even worse than the state of the branch in Xu Ran's hand.
Obviously, after hiding in this valley, the state of the demon wood demi-saint did not improve, but got worse and worse.
Turning over and dismounting, Xu Ran walked step by step in front of the demon wood half-saint.
And the silent body of the Demon Wood Half-Saint did not react to this, even if Xu Ran gently pressed his hand on the trunk of the Demon Wood Half-Saint, it did not wake up.
On its body, Xu Ran could only feel an extremely weak life force, like a candle in the wind, which would be extinguished at any time.
If he had come a little later, the Demon Wood Demi-Saint might have really fallen here.
Thinking of this, Xu Ran's heart sank.
Sure enough, even though the Demon Wood Half-Saint talent is extremely high, it is still too reluctant to defeat three enemies at this stage.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Ran picked up the branch with the leaves hanging in his hand, followed the appearance of the demon wood demi-saint exerting his power, and spoke softly.
"Here, the recovery from injuries is accelerating!"
"Click~"
With a soft sound, the green leaves covered with golden veins instantly turned into points of light and dispersed, enveloping the surrounding space at the same time, and the unpredictable power of order descended.
The order of this place was changed in an instant, and the recovery of all injuries was accelerated.
Xu Ran looked nervously at the silent demon wood half-saint, and his heart rose to his throat.
As the minutes passed, the power of order in the leaves was rapidly depleted, and when the last light dimmed, the surrounding order returned to its original state.
Looking at the demon wood half-saint who was still silent and the blue-gold light patterns of the branches had not lit up, Xu Ran's heart sank to the bottom.
In this way, can't you save the demon wood half-saint?
This is already the most effective means he can think of now.
If this is ineffective, then all Xu Ran can do is to ask Ji Xuan to make a move again.
But according to his understanding, the two epic-level pet beasts that Ji Xuan could use at the moment did not have the ability to heal.
Therefore, even if Ji Xuan came to the rescue, he could only take the Demon Wood Half-Saint to Broken Abyss City for treatment.
Not to mention that it is not too late, Broken Abyss City may not be safe for the Demon Wood Half-Saint.
After all...
Thinking of the little information that Ji Xuan had revealed while discussing with him in the past few days, Xu Ran's expression became more and more ugly.
Is it true that there is no way to save the demon wood demi-saint?
Just when Xu Ran was at a loss, a faint voice echoed in the valley.
"That's not how the power of order is used."
Hearing this familiar voice, Xu Ran raised his head violently and looked at the demon wood demi-saint in front of him in surprise.
"Senpai, you..."
The majestic power of the surrounding earth surged, causing his words to stop instantly.
Cancan on the side was dumbfounded.
At this moment, it could clearly feel that the entire valley and even the extreme distance outside the valley, countless earth forces were converging towards this side, as if they were being frantically swallowed by a black hole, and they were constantly pouring into the body of the demon wood demi-saint.
Under this terrifying power, the body of the demon wood demi-saint gradually grew, and the life force that was like a candle in the wind turned into a monstrous torch in a very short period of time.
The dying state was dissolved in an instant!
Its body stretched out to its fullest, and in the blink of an eye, it had changed from a thin tree that was only three or four meters tall to a towering giant tree hundreds of meters high, and although it was not as large as it had been in its heyday, it had regained a lot of strength.
An illusory face appeared in the void, with a smile in his eyes, and he looked at Xu Ran, "I never thought that some of my gifts in the past did not help you, but they helped myself." β
"If it weren't for that glimmer of order, I'm afraid I would have been completely silent here until the fire of life was completely extinguished."
"Senpai, have you recovered?" Xu Ran's face was excited.
Unexpectedly, the demon wood half-saint shook his head slightly.
"Recovered, but not either."
Looking at Xu Ran's confused expression, the Demon Wood Half-Saint smiled indifferently.
"On my body, the lapidium holy pattern representing order has not lit up."
"And, what I absorbed just now was the power of the earth system."
