Chapter 4: Nightmare Root

'Boom... Whoa'

It became more and more sultry, oppressive and breathless, and at some point the stars were covered by dark clouds, and a blinding white light cleaved at the burning pine tree, and it was fleeting. Thunder followed, 'Boom... Cracking sound... Boom. ’

The pouring rain fell instantly, and without the slightest room for negotiation with you, the burning trees were watered... The fire gradually weakened, but at this time, two bolts of lightning struck in succession, and the half-crippled branches that had been burned by the fire rose directly and ignited again, and the flames that were about to rise were extinguished by the rain in an instant.

Looking at the forest with heavy rain, Li Fei took out a cigarette and snapped his fingers, took a sip of food with a little gratification, and said, "It's raining, otherwise there will be no forest fire." In this era of information explosion, Li Fei knows the horror of forest fires, thinking about the video of the Amazon fire, Li Fei can't help but shudder.

Feeling the coolness in the air, Li Fei turned around and returned to the cave, lit the thick branch in his hand and walked deeper, although his stomach began to bark again, but now it is not the time to go out to find food, first, if you get sick in the rain, there is no medical treatment, there is no cold medicine or anything, and second, the forest at night always makes people feel uneasy, in case you encounter a snake, insect, rat and ant or something, it is difficult to save your life, this is not a game after all, and it is not an immortal body.

Avoid the leaking place in the hole, with the torch let Li Fei better see the situation in the cave, the cave is polished without water chestnut, the ground is paved like a stone brick, the back of the stone statue is empty, occasionally there are some rotten debris in the corner, Li Fei folded down the thinner branch next to the torch, and used the branch to pull and pull each pile of wreckage, the confidence to explore the treasure still has to be there, in case you find something, wouldn't it be beautiful.

When he arrived at the dragon fruit tree, Li Fei put the torch forward, hoping to find a few more fruits to sacrifice to the Five Organs Temple, "I don't know if the fire in my mouth is brought by the dragon fruit, or the newbie gift package sent by the crossing, it would be nice if I could have more..." Li Fei pursed his lips.

The branches of this dragon fruit are a bit like the old people's dragon head crutches, meandering, the shape is very attractive, the back of the tree extends to the outside of the hole I don't know where, too high to explore, stretched into the hole on these branches and no longer see half of the fruit, in line with the principle of thieves do not fall short, oh, no, in line with the principle of entering the treasure mountain and not empty-handed, Li Fei found a stone crack and inserted the torch into it, and pulled up a branch that had been observed a long time ago and looked like a dragon's head, and it felt very strong between pulling,

"Hey, hey, it's very flexible, brother. Li Fei folded for a long time, but instead of tearing it off, he was thrown in the mouth, the tears and snot of the pain almost came out, and he turned his head and spit out a mouthful of blood foam, hanging directly on the branch and pulling it down, swaying left and right, swinging up and down, between which Li Fei's forehead was bruised, and he was shouting in his mouth, dangling like a monkey on the tree.

'Click', the branch was not torn off, the hand was bald, and a butt was thrown to the ground. "It's so tough, but unfortunately I don't have tools like axes. Li Fei looked at his hand and shook his head regretfully. Reluctantly, he gave up the idea of continuing to toss with this seemingly dragon-headed cane, turned around and picked up the torch and walked towards the cave.

Unaware of the fact that there were two glowing eyes staring at him at the hole that reached into the branch, revealing a slight curiosity, excitement and cunning, as if he had encountered prey, a toy.

With the disappearance of the torches, Li Fei's back fell into darkness again, Li Fei nervously probed into the cave, the smell of rot was a little strong, like dead branches and rotten leaves, the end of the hole was full of wind, and from below came a damp and sticky wind, a fishy smell.

The torch probed forward, and the end of the front seemed to be connected to the depths of the cliff, dark and dark, with a craggy rock, accompanied by a 'woo' sound, Li Fei's careful liver jumped a few more times, the flames on the branches danced messily in the wind, Li Fei's excitement of exploration was instantly extinguished, and he couldn't help but shiver, stepped back, took a few steps back and turned around and ran.

"No, you still have to find a tool for self-defense, no guy is still a little weak-hearted. Li Fei ran to the strange tree, racking his brains to figure out how to break off the branches.

The origin of this tree is incredible, it is the fourth of the twelve spiritual roots of the dragon fruit hybrid of the butterfly abyss nightmare spiritual root, its branches are full of toughness, previously because the fruit reached the ripening period, it is easy to be torn off, if it is a branch with a thick arm, it is not easy, this tree only grows eighty-one branches in its life, eighty-one branches and leaves absorb the essence of all things in heaven and earth only for one branch to bear fruit, this fruit is called Mengyan fruit, eat it to get spiritual fire, rooted in the god's house, protect the consciousness of the ghost from invading, nightmares do not give birth, this branch that looks like a dragon's head is called Butterfly Dream Dragon, the appearance is the most atavistic, and the dragon fruit is the closest。

Not to mention, Li Fei's vision is really not bad, he didn't stare at this dragon head branch, I saw that he carefully used a torch to get close to the root of the branch and roasted it, not only is the fourth-ranked heaven and earth spirit thing famous for fire, even the fire spirit dream flame in his mind is also from the nightmare spirit root tree.

After roasting for more than half an hour, the branches and torches were almost burned out, Li Fei jumped up, and pulled up with the strength of the fall, "It stands to reason that I usually exercise a lot, and this strength is not too young, why is it so difficult to break, this special cowhide tree." Li Fei swayed up and down and didn't see the branch that had been burning for a long time breaking, grinding for a long time, looking at the almost burning torch, Li Fei, who was a little red-eyed, forced himself to burp...'poof' A stream of flames shot out.

This is the same root to fry each other why too urgent, the spiritual root has its own spirituality, if it is an ordinary fire, naturally not afraid, and this fire is a hybrid dream fire, in addition to burning the flesh and burning the soul, from the inside out, caught off guard, although this fire is born by itself, but the best understanding of this fire is yourself, this fire gathers the essence of heaven and earth, gives birth to the soul fire in the dream, the dragon fruit of the dragon fire, in this continent it is nothing does not burn nothing does not burn, frightened Linggen quickly mobilized the essence of other branches in order to resist the invasion of dream flames, it is estimated that it did not expect to be burned by its own baby one day。

Nightmare Linggen also wanted to cry a little at this time, thinking about how the ancestors were so powerful, good at calculation, and struggling to plan to obtain the hybrid identity of the twelve spiritual roots, that is the groundbreaking spiritual root, the so-called hybrid with the root of the seedlings, although limited to the immovable particularity of the body increases the difficulty of turning into an innate Dao body, but it is much more promising than those ordinary mortal miscellaneous trees, and he is in this special growth environment, has mutated from the nightmare spirit root to the butterfly abyss nightmare spirit root, all these advantages were taken away by the bald monkey in front of him in the process of sleeping just now, the nightmare demon disc here did not gnaw him not to say, but also ate the fruit of the old lady, not even a kind of vomit ...

"Where the tree can bear it, the old lady can't bear it, bald monkey, I will let you see how powerful the old lady is. Nightmare Root gritted his teeth and grinded his mouth, if the bark of a tree could be counted as a mouth. I saw that she mobilized all the energy of her body and rushed towards the butterfly dream dragon, exuding a bewildering aura all over her body, and drifting melodiously towards the depths of the cave entrance.

The wind in the cave swirled with this breath

At the end of the day, a group of swallow-sized butterflies flew out of the cracks on the blades of grass, accompanied by a group of black translucent butterfly shadows, the wind is like dancing for them, riding the wind, swallow-sized colorful and translucent black butterflies are graceful, different from the petite of ordinary mortals, but they do not lose the delicacy of elves, and they dance freely like a dream.

Li Fei was still desperately trying to burp at this time... Hiccup...', this goldfinger, this companion newbie gift package is good anywhere, just this... This way of appearing makes people disagree, this affects the image too much, Li Fei kept spraying, while thinking nonsense in his head, unaware that danger was quietly coming.

It's like a hairless monkey swinging on this branch bare-chested, jumping up and down, holding the few torches left in one hand, pulling the branch with the other hand, and hooking his legs together on the branch, his bare upper body tilting his head and shaking and shaking'burping' with fire in his mouth, and the pajama pants have been pulled black and white, the picture is too beautiful, I can't bear to look at it directly.

Li Fei is also competing with this tree, obviously feeling that it is about to break, but this tree has inexplicably added a little elasticity, and it feels like it is at your fingertips and feels unreachable, and the desire to scratch your heart with a hundred claws can't stop. Li Fei threw away his torch, snapped his fingers, and dragged the branch with both hands, and the three fires burned together, wanting to compete with the tree.

As the flames on the torch weakened, the depths of the cave gradually fell into darkness, at this time a group of butterflies fluttered up, swaying posture, accompanied by translucent shadows flew over, around the sweaty Li Fei fell around, Li Fei concentrated, only this branch in his eyes, did not feel uncomfortable at all, some translucent butterflies integrated into his body, and the fire in his mind was a little excited.

The butterfly that pounced on Li Fei first felt very comfortable, as warm as going home, and then gathered his partners to exude butterfly words: "Come on, so comfortable, so comfortable..." It's like love.

Nightmare Linggen waited for a long time, but he didn't see the bald monkey in front of him looking exhausted, but his body was much thinner, and he held on for a while, but he couldn't bear to fall into a coma and fell into a deep sleep.

'Snap', I saw that the dragon-shaped branches with thick arms were cracking from the roots, and Li Fei fell down, and the barrel-thick tree body at the root seemed to be much more slender.
