Chapter Thirty-Six: The Spirit Iron Tree
In an instant, Lu Xiaoan's cold sweat soaked the back of his clothes, and just a look made Lu Xiaoan fall into the abyss.
Without hesitation, Lu Xiaoan turned around and fled, even if he couldn't escape, he couldn't sit still, not to mention that there were two of them, and the tiger demon might not necessarily come to chase him.
"Roar!"
A tiger roared.
Lu Xiaoan stumbled under his feet and almost fell. He looked horrified, thinking to himself that this was the Great Demon? The mere roar made his chest feel tight, and his spiritual power could not function properly.
couldn't help but glance back, Lu Xiaoan even had the heart to scold his mother, because that section of Yunfeng was still behind him.
"I'm going to die, and you're still chasing me?"
Duan Yunfeng didn't answer, but suddenly broke out, almost surpassing Lu Xiaoan.
"Are you trying to take my back?"
Lu Xiaoan's mind was in a hurry, and he suddenly remembered that he had made a few fake maps just in case the old man learned.
So, Lu Xiaoan took out a folded animal skin, raised it at Duan Yunfeng, and said, "This is the map of the secret realm, go get it if you want it!"
This time, Lu Xiaoan couldn't care so much, and threw it back. It's best to be able to lure Duan Yunfeng away, and if you can't get away, you can only take out a magic sniper to fight hard, it just so happens that the tiger demon is big, and it can hit it indiscriminately...... Let's do it!
"Again?"
To Lu Xiaoan's surprise, Duan Yunfeng didn't stop, and flew towards the fake map, and the tiger demon behind him had already caught up.
"Is this a treasure that will not die?"
Lu Xiaoan fled in a different direction, and glanced at it with his spare eyes, just in time to see Duan Yunfeng grabbing the map, and the huge claws of the tiger demon also slapped on him.
"Bang!"
Duan Yunfeng was smashed on the trunk of a huge tree, but the strange thing was that he didn't have anything to do, so he bounced up and fled.
Lu Xiao'an understood, it turned out that this guy had a high-level talisman on his body to defend himself, no wonder he dared to sacrifice his life to seize the map.
After the tiger demon slapped Duan Yunfeng with his hand, he was originally going to chase Lu Xiao'an, but it could be seen that Duan Yunfeng didn't have anything to do, and he was also angry, so he turned around and chased after Duan Yunfeng.
Lu Xiaoan let out a sigh of relief, and he really felt like he had escaped death. However, now is not the time to rejoice, in case Duan Yunfeng is eaten too quickly, it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to escape. Therefore, Lu Xiaoan still ran desperately, wishing that he could grow two more legs.
Compared with Lu Xiaoan, Duan Yunfeng wanted to scold his mother even more, and at the same time, he also felt a little remorseful in his heart, he knew that he should have pretended to be dead first, and then escaped after the tiger demon chased Lu Xiaoan. Compared with life, any arrogance and arrogance are empty, and it is not a shame to pretend to be dead in front of the big demon in the Demon Pill Realm!
The speed of the tiger demon was extremely fast, and it took a few breaths to catch up with Duan Yunfeng again. Duan Yunfeng also knew that he couldn't escape, so he had already taken out a talisman from the storage bag.
There was no rune on it, but a small silver sword. This is called a sword talisman, it is far more precious than an ordinary talisman, it seals the power of Ling Yi's sword master, and it is Duan Yunfeng's biggest hole card.
He was a little reluctant, but there was no time to hesitate at this time, Duan Yunfeng threw the sword talisman back, and pinched it to stimulate the power of the sword talisman.
When they arrived at the Demon Pill Realm, the spiritual intelligence of demon beasts was not much lower than that of humans, and when Duan Yunfeng activated the sword talisman, the tiger demon sensed the threat, so he stopped.
I saw a flash of sword light, and the tiger demon let out an angry roar, and then turned and fled.
On the ground, the blood trails stretched all the way in the direction of the tiger demon's escape, and it was obvious that the tiger demon was not lightly injured, which showed how strong Ling Yi's sword was.
Duan Yunfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief, if the sword talisman couldn't help the tiger demon, then he would really die.
Getting rid of the danger, Duan Yunfeng had the heart to look at the map in his hand. Although the life-saving things have been used, it is not a loss to get the map of the secret realm, as long as he finds Lu Xiaoan and asks for the exercises of the first layer of the Heavenly Demon Forging Body later, he will be able to pass the skills.
However, at first he fantasized about a bright future, but the next moment he let out an angry roar.
"Dog, I'm going to tear you to pieces!"
I saw that there was no map on the animal skin in Duan Yunfeng's hand, and only five big characters were written, 'You are a big fool'.
Throwing the beast skin into the air, Duan Yunfeng swung his sword and cut it into pieces, but even so, it was still difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart.
Lu Xiaoan didn't know that Duan Yunfeng had seriously injured the tiger demon with his sword talisman, so he didn't dare to stay at all, and kept changing directions to run away until he was dizzy.
It was already dark, and Lu Xiaoan, who had been running for a day, really couldn't run, so he said to himself: "I shouldn't be caught up again!"
Xiao Ai: "According to my analysis, if the tiger demon had the heart to chase you, you would have been caught up a long time ago." ”
Lu Xiaoan was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "That means I'm out of danger!"
Xiao Ai: "Don't be too happy, although you kept changing directions before, you have been running towards the depths of the forest, and the straight-line distance from the edge of the forest is about 300 kilometers at this time. ”
Lu Xiaoan blinked and asked, "How far is three hundred kilometers?"
Xiao Ai: "Six hundred miles." ”
"W-How far is this?"
Lu Xiaoan was shocked and said, "Why didn't you remind me earlier?"
Xiao Ai: "I said earlier, do you dare to turn back?"
"This ......"
Lu Xiaoan thought about it, and it seemed that he really didn't dare to look back. Helpless, Lu Xiaoan only hoped that he had not yet entered the sea of clouds.
"Xiao Ai, can you analyze where I am now, how far is it from the sea of clouds?"
Xiao Ai: "My scope of exploration is the scope of your perception, so you don't know how big this forest is, so naturally I don't know." ”
Lu Xiaoan: "Forget it, it's all here, let's find the Spirit Iron Tree and the Rhino Horn Viper first." ”
If there is Xiao Ai, it is quite convenient to find something, because as long as it is within Lu Xiao'an's perception range, Xiao Ai will not ignore it, so Lu Xiaoan doesn't need to look for it carefully at all, just keep running, as long as something appears, Xiao Ai will remind him.
Of course, Lu Xiaoan couldn't run anymore, so he could only walk slowly, and he didn't dare to go any deeper, so he looked horizontally along this depth.
After searching for a whole night, Lu Xiaoan finally found a spiritual iron tree. But standing in front of this Lingtie tree, which was only a little thicker than his waist, Lu Xiaoan became depressed again.
"How do I know if this tree is a thousand years old?"
There is an introduction to the Lingtie tree in the Miscellaneous Chronicles, saying that this tree grows slowly, and the wood is extremely hard, harder than iron, so it is called the Lingtie tree. However, the miscellaneous chronicle does not say how thick the Lingtie tree is only a thousand years old.
Xiao Ai: "You cut down the tree, and you can tell how old the tree is by the annual rings." ”
"Good!"
Lu Xiaoan immediately took out the magic knife and slashed it, but his hands were numb, and the spirit iron tree only broke a little bark.
Lu Xiaoan was embarrassed, and couldn't help but say: "It's worthy of the Spirit Iron Tree, it's so fucking hard!"
But what now?
Or Xiao Ai said: "The branching of the tree is regular, and if the main trunk is not cut, you can cut the top branch, and you can also calculate the age of the tree." ”
Lu Xiaoan couldn't help but say: "Xiaoai, you know so much." ”
Xiao Ai: "These are the countless years of knowledge that we have accumulated in that world. ”
The Lingtie Tree was not high, only about five zhang, and Lu Xiaoan easily climbed to the top of the tree and cut down on the thinnest branch.
The branch was cut off with a knife, Lu Xiaoan jumped off the tree, picked up the branch, and asked, "Xiao Ai, do you know how many years this tree is?"
Xiao Ai: "This Spirit Iron Tree should be a fork in a hundred years, if it is correct, this tree is more than 1,200 years old." ”
When it came to the cultivation of the Heavenly Demon Forging Body, Lu Xiaoan couldn't help but ask, "What if it's wrong?"
Xiao Ai: "If it's wrong, this tree is only more than 110 years old, according to the description of the extremely slow growth of the Spirit Iron Tree, the probability that this tree is only more than 100 years old is less than 1 in 1,000." ”
"Okay, that's it. ”
Lu Xiaoan believes in Xiao Ai's judgment very much, after all, it is an artificial intelligence life, although Lu Xiaoan doesn't know much about what an artificial intelligence life is, but just listening to the name feels very reliable.
The sap of the Spirit Iron Tree is the sap in the trunk, so it takes a lot of work to get it.
"Phew, phew!"
Lu Xiaoan spat twice in the palm of his hand, and then began to cut down the tree, slashing several times in a row, and finally the juice flowed out. The juice was transparent and a little viscous, and Lu Xiaoan hurriedly took out the jade bottle that had been prepared a long time ago to catch it.
