Chapter Seventy-Six: News of the World Tree
The two finally arrived in the center of the city, and found that the once prosperous area had been surrounded by a large circle of mutant plants, which looked a little strange and desolate. Feng Jiu immediately felt the unusual aura inside, and even he felt a little dangerous, turned around and solemnly instructed Mai Xiaoyou: "Xiaoyou, it is estimated that it will be more dangerous here, you have to follow me, don't get separated!"
Mai Xiaoyou nodded obediently, and Feng Jiu took her carefully through the gap in the plant. But at this moment, a sudden change occurred, and countless vines spread out from the surrounding plants, winding around the two of them like a group of snakes dancing wildly.
Feng Jiu snorted coldly and said lightly: "Originally, I didn't want to make a move, since you took the initiative to find death, then don't blame me for being unkind, Qinglian Fire Shield!" He directly laid the Qinglian Fire Shield beside himself and Mai Xiaoyou to protect the safety of the two, and at the same time used the Qinglian meteor shower to form a devastating blow to the ability plants around him, and after a while, it turned into a sea of void cyan fire, destroying the surroundings.
After Feng Jiu solved the threat at once, the two of them finally entered the center of the city smoothly, and found that the entire urban area had become a paradise for all kinds of strange plants, with an extremely wide range, and they couldn't help but have a headache, and they didn't know what had happened here.
Before he had gone far, Feng Jiu immediately sensed a sense of urgency to be sniped, and couldn't help but look slightly startled, and quickly fled with Mai Xiaoyou. With a thud, a thumb-sized sniper projectile flew out, shattering the spot and sending dirt and rocks flying.
At this time, on a building in the distance, Yu Wei, a yellow-haired man wearing a peaked cap, saw that his sniper actually failed, and complained: "Damn, I thought I had found a weak prey, but I didn't expect his reaction speed to be so fast!"
Yu Wei's companion Huo Yi was a short white-clothed killer, and he said coldly: "It is not easy for people to break into the center of the ruined city, Yu Wei, you should not underestimate anyone who enters here. But since you have been exposed, then immediately shift your position, I will help drag them down, and you must not let these two newcomers discover the secrets of the World Tree!"
"Don't worry, the dead will naturally not know, it is better to have less competition, and then I will leave it to you, I will assist you!" Yu Wei sneered, just when the two of them wanted to act, they found that Feng Jiu suddenly appeared not far from them, and they couldn't help but be startled, and had to wait for it.
"The secret of the World Tree, I'm really curious what the secret is, can you two tell me?" Feng Jiu asked lightly.
"Fuck, who the hell is this kid? He's so fast that he can't even notice if he's eavesdropping on us. He's a little weird, Huo Yi, drag them immediately!" Yu Wei felt bad and roared angrily.
Huo Yi nodded, and then his figure began to become transparent and disappeared in place. Yu Wei quickly evacuated, and the whole person was as swift as a bird, and once again sniped the two with his ability sniper rifle.
"It seems that your abilities are a little special, one is sniper enhancement, and the other is stealth, which does look good. But it's a pity that I met me, so I'll let you know what despair is now!" Feng Jiu smiled faintly, turned into a black shadow and quickly disappeared in place, his figure was elusive, and he approached Yu Wei with lightning speed.
Yu Wei's face was shocked, and he wanted to snipe Feng Jiu to the nearest headshot, but unexpectedly, he suddenly took out a black blade and slashed it directly, not only his ability sniper rifle was cut into two pieces, but even his body turned into two pieces without resistance, and blood rained. But at this moment, Huo Yi also hid behind Feng Jiu's back, and a pair of short thorns stabbed at him.
But Feng Jiu had obviously sensed Huo Yi's sudden attack for a long time, and the chaotic blue wings suddenly opened behind him, and the void cyan flames suddenly burned a pair of short thorns, and even his hands were brutally burned.
"How is it possible?ah, it hurts me to death!" Huo Yi screamed, forced to appear, and hurriedly retreated, his eyes showed horror: "I am obviously invisible, how can you see it?"
Feng Jiu explained flatly: "Your stealth ability is too poor, not only do you have a shallow shadow to emerge, but the aura of the ability is too strong, it's hard not to find it, only those idiots will be attacked by you." Since your last words are finished, I'll send you to the western sky!"
Just as Feng Jiu waved his hand to kill Huo Yi, he suddenly surrendered and begged: "Little brother, spare me, aren't you curious about the secret of the World Tree here?"
Feng Jiu couldn't help but stop, and chuckled: "Then you can talk about it, if I'm interested, I can not blame the past and let you live!"
Huo Yi breathed a sigh of relief, he had no choice but to say truthfully in order to survive: "You should be very puzzled why there are so many abnormal plants in the center of this ruined city, in fact, they are all made by the World Tree. And the World Tree is rich in infinite vitality, as long as you obtain the Heart of the World, you can live forever, which is why many Strangers come here to break through!"
"Then since there are so many supernatural beings here competing for the World Heart of the World Tree, there must be many masters among them, why hasn't anyone grabbed them until now?" Feng Jiu noticed the clue and asked suspiciously.
"That's because there is an A-level high-level golden-winged eagle guarding the World Tree, its strength is too strong, and many of the people who came to compete were killed by it, causing no one to dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool easily. But the allure of immortality is too great, so there are still many supernatural beings lurking nearby, waiting for it to show a flaw and fight for it in one fell swoop!"
Huo Yi explained methodically, and when Feng Jiu heard his description, he was even more puzzled in his heart. According to the memories of his previous two lives, the World Tree should not appear so simply, it has always shuttled through chaos, although it has infinite vitality, it also has the power to destroy the world, how can it be guarded by a mere A-level high-level alien beast?
If the World Tree really appeared, in the era of cultivating immortals, even the old monsters in the Tribulation Period would be excited. Therefore, he dared to insist that the World Tree in Huo Yi's mouth was definitely not the real World Tree, otherwise how could it only cause so many abnormal plants to appear in the center of the city? But what it was, he had to go and see it himself.
Hearing Huo Yi's true words, Feng Jiu continued to ask calmly: "Then since there are so many supernatural beings lurking here and trying to seize the heart of the world, why do you and that dead yellow hair attack me and Xiaoyou?" Before he came here, he had already asked Mai Xiaoyou to find a place to hide, and after asking the questions, it was time to pick her up.
"This is because of the appearance of the World Tree, which has been reduced to a hunting ground for supernatural abilities, everyone is in danger, and they all want to get rid of others to have a greater chance of gaining the Heart of the World, and the other is also to seize the strange treasures on others, which is why Yu Wei and I attacked you. But the real masters here don't know how to do it, they are all waiting for the opportunity!" Huo Yi explained solemnly.
"Oh, can you tell me who the real masters here are?" Feng Jiu asked with interest.
"There are only four real masters here, all of whom are A-level or above superpowers, and I will give you one by one, little brother. One is the Fire King Zhu Yan, who has terrifying and devastating flames, one is the Wood Spirit Housheng, who is the most eager for the heart of the world and has a very powerful bow and arrow, the other is the Iron Blood Lord Mu Qiu, whose physical skills are almost inviolable, and the last one is the Ghost Emperor, whose origin is the most mysterious, he can't see his appearance clearly in a black robe, and his own abilities are weird, and he is the object of jealousy of everyone here!"
Huo Yi brought his understanding of the four masters one by one, Feng Jiu couldn't help but be surprised, he didn't expect that this so-called World Tree turmoil really attracted the masters among the superpowers, with his current strength, it was okay to deal with one, if he dealt with four people, it would really be difficult for him. So he had to think about the next step and let Huo Yi go according to the agreement.
Huo Yi immediately left with a thousand thanks, he didn't dare to take revenge at all, now his hands were useless, if he didn't escape from here, even if Feng Jiu didn't kill him, he would become someone else's prey.
After Feng Jiu learned the news, he immediately returned to the place where Mai Xiaoyou was hiding, and said solemnly: "Xiaoyou, I originally wanted to take you to the city center to have a look, but now that I know some information there, I don't think I can take you there!"
"Why? Brother Feng Jiu, do you think I'm a burden?" Mai Xiaoyou asked a little unconvinced, tears in his eyes.
"Xiaoyou, this matter is a long story, now that the so-called World Tree has appeared in the center of the city, many masters of the Strange Ability are lurking there, and there are not a few who hunt each other, if I take you there, it is inevitable that I will not be able to distract and take care of you in the face of so many enemies, if you are in danger, I will feel guilty!" Feng Jiu said solemnly.
"That's the case, Brother Feng Jiu, I'm sorry, it's all because I'm too weak, and I can't be your helper, so I can only distract you to take care of me. But don't worry, I won't be a burden to you, I'll find a place to hide, and when you come to pick me up, I'll hear about your adventures!"
Feng Jiu sighed lightly, touched Mai Xiaoyou's little head, and comforted: "Xiaoyou, you are really sensible, so that I can go there with confidence, I will come out to pick you up as soon as possible!"
So Feng Jiu waved goodbye to Mai Xiaoyou, telling her to hide and not be discovered by other passing beings. And just when he hadn't walked a few steps, he found that Cheng Yu, who was secretly observing him, had come to his approach.
"Mentor Cheng Yu, you showed up in advance, do you want to participate in it too?" Feng Jiu asked lightly.
"To be honest, I don't believe that the World Tree would have appeared in the center of this ruined city by such a coincidence, I hadn't heard of it before, and there must have been something I didn't know about in the meantime. And I also heard the conversation between you and the white-clothed killer, and understood the danger, so I can't continue to stay behind the scenes, just to help you, after all, if something happens to you, it will be difficult for me to explain to the dean!" Cheng Yu said sincerely.
"Then you'll have to work, Mentor Cheng Yu!" Feng Jiu didn't object to Cheng Yu's active assistance, it was good to have one more helper, he felt that he was also unfathomable, and maybe he could really deal with four A-level or above supernatural abilities......
