"How is that possible? Now that the canopy is still shattered, no one can survive under that power, you must be lying. ”

After the rugged man heard Qiao Yuan's words, he took a few breaths, and then the corners of his mouth showed a sneer again, and even there was disdain in his eyes.

At this moment, more than a dozen monks here also had different expressions, some did not believe it, some people were skeptical, and some people showed fanaticism and respect, obviously believing Qiao Yuan.

Qiao Yuan ignored these people, let alone argued with the rugged man, but looked at the early foundation building monk on the shore and asked.

"Fellow Daoists, how long does it take to enter the inner valley from the periphery?"

A man with a grateful look on his face hurriedly stepped forward and clenched his fists and said.

"It can be two or three hours, or five or six hours. ”

Jun Feng had gone downstream along the Empty River before, and Qiao Yuan could feel that there was an invisible barrier beneath the surface of the Empty River, and that layer of separation should be the connection between the outer and inner valleys.

"Fellow Daoists, I would like to borrow your map jade slip to take a look, and I hope it will be completed. ”

After thinking for a moment, Qiao Yuan sighed lightly and decided not to wait for Tang Li and the others anymore, and then he moved his gaze to those early stage foundation building monks, and said with his fists clenched.

Although the maps of these people may all be maps of the periphery of the Grass Spirit Valley, it is possible that the herb he is looking for is on the periphery of the Grass Spirit Valley.

These monks in the early stage of foundation building naturally didn't dare to refuse Qiao Yuan, and they took out the map jade slips one after another and threw them towards Qiao Yuan.

Qiao Yuan took these jade slips, examined them carefully, and after a cup of tea, there was still a trace of disappointment in his eyes, and he waved his hand to return the jade slips to everyone.

"Let's go. ”

The dozen or so monks in the early stage of foundation building, when they heard Qiao Yuan's words, showed gratitude on their faces, and bowed to Qiao Yuan, and then the three of them galloped towards the inner valley together.

After watching them all leave, Qiao Yuan turned around and flew towards Lu Nan and Qu Yunwei, and nodded to them.

Then the three of them didn't look at the rugged man with ridicule and ridicule on his face, and directly turned into Changhong and walked into the distance.

"You ......"

When the rugged man saw this scene, the sarcasm at the corner of his mouth instantly froze, and he suddenly felt that the young man in white should not be lying, but this kind of thought was quickly extinguished by him as soon as it appeared.

It's not that he doesn't believe it, it's that he doesn't want to believe it.

The man in the green shirt thousands of feet away showed a look of surprise and uncertainty in his eyes, looked in the direction where Qiao was far away, and muttered in a low voice.

"Is he or isn't?"

In fact, this question has been answered in his mind for a long time, but he, like the rough man, just doesn't want to believe it.

After speaking, he and the woman beside him turned into Changhong and galloped towards the distance.

A day later, Qiao Yuan came to the place where the Demon Tree Lake was located again.

Standing on a hillside thousands of feet away from the lake, Qiao Yuan looked up at the sky, only to see that the blue canopy was like a broken mirror, overlapping and intertwined, making people feel that this world was so unreal.

Under the canopy, there are spatial cracks of different shapes, which have been diffusing from the air to the top of the lake, making people extremely shocked to see from afar, and how dare anyone approach the lake.

Therefore, this place has always been a dead silence, no one dares to come again, even if someone comes to check out out under curiosity, it is just like Qiao Yuan, standing thousands of feet away and looking for a moment, and then he will leave in shock.

"This is where the white pillar of light appeared? It's terrifying. ”

Lu Nan looked shocked, looked at the sky blankly, and exclaimed.

When Qu Yunwei saw this scene, her expression was still calm, but when she saw the ten-zhang big hole on the ground, a trace of palpitation flashed in her eyes.

A look of fear flashed in Qiao Yuan's eyes, thinking back to that day, if he hadn't entered the space bead in time, I am afraid that he would have really died under the white pillar of light that day.

"Wait here for a while, and I'll come as soon as I go. ”

After Qiao Yuan observed the surrounding situation clearly, he saw that there was now only a seven-inch-long spatial crack left in the southern part of the lake, and his eyes flashed with determination, he looked at Qu Yunwei and Lu Nan, and said slowly.

"What do you want to do?"

Qu Yunwei's expression changed, her eyes showed worry, and she hurriedly spoke.

"I'm going to the bottom of the lake. ”

Qiao Yuan showed a reassuring smile on his face and said softly.

Qu Yunwei's face showed a resolute look and said urgently.

"No! This place is very unstable, and a spatial rift could appear again at any time. ”

"Look at the southern part of the lake, there is only a seven-inch-long spatial rift, I just need to avoid that rift from afar. ”

Qiao Yuan raised his hand to the south of the lake and said slowly.

He knew that he had only destroyed the trunk of the demon tree that day, but not its roots.

In addition, the yellow boss was knocked to the bottom of the lake by him with a stick, but he never appeared again, Qiao Yuan was worried, guessing that the demon tree might not be dead.

If it drags on for a long time, the demon tree recovers, then it is a little difficult for him to take the roots for Cangtai.

Although the demon tree is Cangtai's descendant, Qiao Yuan is not sure whether the demon tree will listen to Cangtai's words, so it is better not to delay this matter.

Qu Yunwei saw that Qiao Yuan's eyes were firm, as if there was something that had to be done, and she muttered for a while, and she didn't speak again.

Qiao Yuan gave the two of them a reassuring smile, and then he walked slowly towards the lake.

The space here is unstable, and there may be spatial cracks at any time, so it is safer to walk over without relying on cultivation.

Thousands of zhang away, Qiao Yuan walked slowly for a stick of incense before he reached the south of the lake.

Qiao Yuan's expression was extremely solemn, and his gaze was always focused on the spatial crack not far away, until he walked to the edge of the lake, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Qiao Yuan jumped into the lake and hurried towards the center of the lake.

At the moment when Qiao Yuan jumped into the lake, under the small island in the middle of the lake, a thick vine immediately trembled.

Qiao Yuan's divine sense spread in all directions, and he was extremely vigilant in his heart.

The place was still as it had been the last time he had seen it, the bottom of the lake was covered with bones, and beneath them were dead roots.

Since the natal tree spirit was taken away by Qiao Yuan, the more than ten vines left here have also begun to show signs of death due to lack of vitality.

Qiao Yuan saw a lot of half-dead vines, he didn't pay attention to them, but carefully searched for the thickest vine.

Suddenly, those half-dead vines squirmed and headed straight for Qiao Yuan, but their speed and strength were obviously not as good as before.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Qiao Yuan's mouth, and he raised his hand to grab those vines and pull them hard, and then Qiao Yuan went directly down the roots of the vines.

He wanted to follow the vine and find the rhizome of the demon tree.

In the center of the lake, under the small island in the middle of the lake, Qiao Yuan saw a ten-zhang sized dirt bag, which was the foundation of the island and the foundation of the demon tree.

At this moment, there are many white roots extending from the surface of the dirt bag, and they slowly flutter with the water, looking like insects, and at the bottom of the dirt bag is a thick vine that surrounds it.

Next to the vine, there were several corpses entwined with countless roots that extended into the flesh of the corpses, absorbing the essence of the flesh of the corpses.

Most of the flesh and blood of these corpses had been devoured and absorbed, and only the white bones remained, but there was one corpse, whose head was preserved, and the face could still be faintly seen.

When Qiao Yuan saw that face, his eyes immediately froze, and he recognized that the corpse was Boss Huang who had not been heard from since he hit the lake with a stick that day.

But at this moment, the dirt bag shook suddenly, a muffled roar came out, and the thick vine trembled directly and rolled towards Qiao Yuan.

"You weren't my opponent before, and now you're so weak and daring to be presumptuous. ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of Qiao Yuan's mouth, and he said in a low voice.

After speaking, his figure flickered, and he directly stepped on the thick vine fiercely, causing the vine to sink directly downward.

"Master, for the sake of the old slave, surround its life. ”

Just when Qiao Yuan stepped on the vine at the bottom of the lake and couldn't move, Cang Tai's anxious words suddenly sounded in Qiao Yuan's heart.

"Cangliao, stop quickly. ”

"Ancestor, is that you?"

When Cang Tai's words sounded, a voice full of shock immediately came from the dirt bag.

Because of Mrs. Cang's relationship, Qiao Yuan didn't think about killing this demon tree at first, but now he didn't speak, but raised his hand and directly took the natal tree spirit out of the space bead.

"Thank you hosts. ”

After the Natal Tree Spirit appeared, a large amount of green smoke immediately appeared on it, and finally condensed an old face in front of Qiao Yuan.

"Ancestor, it's really you, are you still alive?"

As soon as the old face appeared, an extremely excited voice came out of the dirt bag.

"My soul has been suppressed by the Great Array of Destroying Seals, and is in a state of half-death and half-sleep, until it was brought out of the Great Array of Destroying Seals by its master, and it showed signs of recovery. ”

Words slowly came from the old face.

As soon as these words were finished, a very confused voice came from the dirt bag.

"Master, Ancestor, why did you call this monk the master?"

"I don't want to mention this matter, I am here to take a foundation, and one day, I will restore my true body again. ”

There was a hint of bitterness on the old face, and he said softly.

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the dirt bag for a long time before the words came out.

"If the ancestor needs it, he can take the main vein of the younger generation. ”

After saying that, the thick vine that Qiao Yuan stepped on under his feet trembled, and Qiao Yuan immediately got up and let go of the thick vine.

"Cangliao, the ancestor does not have the ability to take you out for the time being, but if the ancestor recovers, one day, the ancestor will take you back to your hometown. ”

A long sigh came from the old countenance, followed by a very solemn promise.

As soon as Mrs. Cang's words fell, a burst of extremely excited words came from the dirt bag.

"Thank you Ancestor, the younger generations are here waiting for the Ancestor's return. ”

After speaking, the thick vine trembled violently, like a big python, writhing and breaking away from the dirt bag.
