Qiao was far away in the lake, and suddenly he was like a flat boat in the angry sea, fluttering back and forth with the monstrous waves, making his mind boom, and his eyes were blurry, and he could only see endless splashes.

But his divine sense was locked on the six vines, and every time the vines were drawn, Qiao Yuan would quickly dodge.

"It's not a good situation and it can't be delayed any longer. ”

As time passed, the bad feeling in Qiao Yuan's heart became stronger and stronger, and at this moment, these vines were becoming more and more crazy, which made him feel impatient in his heart.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yuan's heart moved, and a silver long sword appeared in his hand, which was the Fengyuan Sword.

As soon as the sword came out, a flash of silver light immediately fell on the vine that was whipped, silently, and the vine split in two and sank directly to the bottom of the lake.

And at the moment when the vine was cut off, the big tree on the island in the middle of the lake shook again, and the green light flashed on it, as if it was roaring with great anger.

Qiao Yuan did not hesitate at all, stabilized his body and was about to rush out of the lake, but the moment he rushed out of the lake, his figure suddenly froze, and his eyes showed a strong look of horror.

He had just swept his divine sense at the bottom of the lake, but he found that a large number of white bones had been deposited in the depths of the lake.

These white bones are piled up like a mountain, covering the bottom of the entire lake, there are people's white bones, and there are also various bones of demon beasts that Qiao Yuan has never seen before, densely packed, it looks like this lake is a cemetery.

"What the hell is this tree, and how difficult are these people and beasts killed by this tree?"

Qiao Yuan muttered, and then he forcibly suppressed the vibration of his heart and probed his divine sense deeper.

At this glance, he was shocked to find that in the deepest part of the bottom of the lake, dense vines grew under the white bones.

It is not correct to say that it is a vine, in fact, it is the root of the big tree, and the vine that attacked Qiao Yuan and the others is the branch of the root.

The roots of those trees were intertwined, covering every corner of the hundred-zhang lake, and the largest one was more than ten zhang thick, looking bigger than the small island in the middle of the lake.

Even the roots of ordinary trees are three or four feet thick, thicker than the trunks of the big trees on the small island in the middle of the lake.

Seeing this scene, Qiao Yuan really couldn't imagine that it was just an ordinary-looking big tree, and such an amazing root was hidden under it.

It's just that these roots are gray and white, not as green as those vines, and Qiao Yuan didn't find the slightest life on them, obviously these roots have been dead for many years.

"If these roots are still alive, then this tree must be an extremely terrifying existence, no matter what, it's better to leave quickly. ”

After Qiao Yuan saw the true face of this tree, he had already set off a monstrous wave in his heart, and at this moment, without thinking, he quickly withdrew his divine sense and hurried towards the outside of the lake.

He held the Fengyuan Sword in his right hand, and those vines could not stop it at all, and before he could get close, he was split in half by Qiao Yuan's sword.

After splitting four vines in a row, the remaining three vines seemed to wake up, and their madness gradually decreased, and they no longer rushed towards Qiao Yuan, but circled around Qiao Yuan, as if they didn't want him to leave.

"I feel the extremely pure wood attribute spiritual power in you, give it to me, and I will give you supreme cultivation. ”

A cold light flashed in Qiao Yuan's eyes, and when he swung the Fengyuan Sword and was about to slash towards the remaining three vines, an extremely faint sound came into his ears.

The voice was so faint that it was easy to ignore without listening carefully, as if the person who spoke was so weak that he had already used all his strength to say it.

When Qiao Yuan heard this, his expression immediately changed, he turned his head to look at the big tree, his eyes showed a look of surprise, and after hesitating for a moment, Qiao Yuan spoke in a deep voice.

"Who are you?"

"I am the Tree of Wood Spirits, one of the guardians of this place, so the space collapsed, I was implicated, and most of my body died, and now only this vein of the root remains. ”

Qiao Yuan's words did not attract the attention of the blue-robed young man and the others, but after a while, the faint words sounded in his ears again.

"You have an extremely strong wood attribute aura on your body, give it to me, I will meet all your requirements, give you supreme cultivation, and even tell you the location of the spirit hidden here. ”

Through the sound of these words, Qiao Yuan knew that the tree was already weak, and he had just seen the dead roots, and he could also guess that the big tree on the island was indeed a remnant root.

This is true, but it does not mean that Qiao Yuan will believe all its words.

At least this tree is the guardian, Qiao Yuan didn't believe it, after all, there were still a lot of white bones deposited under the bottom of this lake.

And when he first arrived, there was a remnant of the formation.

Why this array exists here, is to protect this tree, or to seal this tree, this is enough to make Qiao Yuan think deeply.

"Obviously, the spatial rift that I entered with Miss Qu together, it stands to reason that she and I shouldn't be too far apart, but why haven't I seen Miss Qu until now?"

"Why did I come here as soon as I entered the Grass Spirit Valley and was trapped in the remnants, is it just a coincidence?"

"Why is it that as soon as the remnants opened, huge waves rolled in this lake, and a whirlpool of spiritual energy condensed above the island, and this tree grew rapidly?"

There were all kinds of problems in Qiao Yuan's heart, and he hadn't thought about these problems before, but at this moment, combined with the words of this tree, Qiao Yuan had a faint guess in his heart.

And this guess, Qiao Yuan is seventy percent sure that it must be true.

"What is Reizang?"

After thinking for a long time, Qiao Yuan came out with a word.

At this moment, the vine had calmed down, no longer attacking to block Qiao Yuan, if he wanted to leave, his figure flickered, and he could step on the ground outside the lake.

"The spirit vault is the place where the lord of this place stores treasures, and there are countless elixirs in it, as well as all kinds of rare magic elixirs. ”

The faint voice came, and there seemed to be an endless temptation, which made Qiao Yuan have a trace of greed in his heart.

"Didn't you enter this place for the elixir treasures? Those herbs that grow in the wild don't even have the qualifications to be included in the spirit store, and compared to the spirit medicine in the spirit store, they are just weeds and weeds. ”

As soon as this trace of greed rose, a spherical light curtain suddenly flickered on the surface of Qiao Yuan's heart, forcibly removing this trace of greed.

That spherical light curtain is the heart protection prohibition that Qiao Yuan learned in the Forbidden Array Tower, this prohibition has no attack power, and it can't resist ordinary spells and spirit weapons, but it can resist the secret method of attacking the mind, and play the role of protecting the mind.

"What a strange secret method, it can affect people's emotions, if it weren't for this heart protection prohibition, I'm afraid I would really be driven by that trace of greed and agree to it. ”

Qiao Yuan looked at the big tree on the island, and his expression suddenly became gloomy.

Just as he was thinking about it, there were a few terrible screams on the other side of the lake, Qiao Yuan turned around to look, and saw several blue-robed young men, all pulled into the bottom of the lake by vines, and disappeared.

At this moment, there was no one else above this lake except Qiao Yuan, and in less than a stick of incense, this tree had already killed thirteen people.

And Fang Sheng, the only one who escaped, if he hadn't sneaked up on the barefoot man and the young man in white, he would have calculated Qiao Yuan at the end to distract Da Shu's attention, otherwise it would have been difficult for him to leave this place easily.

After Fang Sheng left, he didn't stop nearby, but went straight into the distance.

During this period, there were also other monks who were attracted by the whirlpool of spiritual energy, but when they saw the hideous vines and the miserable blue-robed young man and others, they were immediately shocked, and they were far away, and they didn't dare to approach at all.

However, there are also brave people who did not leave this place, but stood on the outside and looked out, after all, they all saw the extraordinaryness of this tree.

There are even people who foolishly regard this tree as a treasure and are ready to wait here for the opportunity to snatch it.

Qiao Yuan ignored these monks, but stared at the big tree with an extremely gloomy expression, and spoke coldly.

"Why did you kill these monks?"

"Alas, I don't want to kill more, but if I want to recover, I need the blood essence of these people. Moreover, these monks are all greedy, and if they had not wanted to take my trunk, they would not have ended up like this. ”

A sigh came leisurely, and then the faint voice sounded in Qiao Yuan's ears again, but this time there was a sense of helplessness in his words, as if this tree was really helpless.

Qiao Yuan also sighed lightly, his gloomy expression gradually eased, and he understood that this tree's words were not unreasonable.

And these people were not all killed by this tree, although the black-faced strong man was not killed by Qiao Yuan, but he also beat him to serious injury, the barefoot man was even attacked by Fang Sheng, and the young man in white was also killed by Fang Sheng.

This kind of everything is also caused by the greed in the hearts of these people, and it is no wonder that others are dead.

Qiao Yuan sighed lightly not because he sympathized with these people, he just felt the greedy nature and insidious psychology of these monks.

"Cultivating immortals and cultivating immortals, if people who cultivate immortals are so greedy and insidious, then what kind of immortals are they cultivating?"

Qiao Yuan looked up to the sky and sighed, his expression revealed deep helplessness, and said slowly.

"They are just despicable monks, how can they understand the word immortal, the path of immortals, how can such monks understand. ”

After Qiao Yuan's words fell, a burst of words full of contempt and contempt came into his ears.

After pondering for a long time, Qiao Yuan's right hand flipped over, and a little green mangs appeared in his hands, this green mangs looked the size of peach pits, but there was an extremely amazing wood attribute spiritual power emitting from it.

This green mang is the wood spirit seed that Xi Ling'er gave to Qiao Yuan at February Peak before.

Only this thing on his body exuded a wood attribute aura, so the big tree said that he had an extremely strong wood attribute aura on his body, and Qiao Yuan immediately thought of this thing.

And when he took out the wood spirit seed, the small island in the middle of the lake shook violently, and the big trees on it shook violently, and countless green leaves were scattered.

Qiao Yuan looked at the big tree, as if he felt that at this moment, the growth speed of the big tree had increased significantly.

The waves were rolling above the lake, and there seemed to be countless vines stirring wildly below, but none of them spread out of the lake.

And at this moment, Qiao Yuan heard an excited word, this word was trembling, and the volume was obviously much higher than before, as if just seeing this wood spirit seed, the big tree was full of vitality.

"Give it to me, I will give you supreme cultivation, tell you the location of the spiritual treasure, clear all obstacles for you, and I can tell you the secret of cultivating immortals. ”
