Chapter 181: The Man-Eating Tree
After we left the inn, we kept walking in the direction of Miao Jiang, and not long after leaving, I felt as if someone had been staring at us, and when I stopped and looked around, there was nothing, Xiaoyu and Flame also stopped and asked, "What's the matter?"
I was a little uncertain and said, "I always feel like someone is watching us." ”
Xiao Yu and Flame agreed and said, "You feel this way too?"
I heard them say this and was sure they felt the same way I did, so I spread out my soul power, but I found nothing, not even the slightest fluctuation of energy.
I had no choice but to shake my head and say, "Maybe we're too nervous, let's hurry up, we have to find the two of them quickly, if it's too late, let the four major families find them first." ”
Jade and Flame nodded, and we began to speed forward again, and in a short time we were out of the city.
Outside the city, we noticed that everything here was very different from what we had seen when Edgeworth was flying, so we walked forward cautiously.
We walked less than a hundred meters before we felt the earth shake incessantly, and I shouted loudly, "Everyone, be careful." ”
As soon as I finished speaking, the shaking stopped, and then we looked around and saw that we were in a huge pit.
Flame shouted and hid behind Xiao Yu and said, "Ha, what is the situation when I said this?"
Xiao Yu saw the flames and pulled her clothes again, and she pulled her clothes angrily and said, "Stand up." ”
The flames had no choice but to let go of Xiao Yu, but they still stood behind Xiao Yu timidly, and looked around from time to time.
Xiao Yu and I spread our soul perception, but still didn't find anything abnormal, and I said, "Could it be that we have encountered an opponent higher than our realm?" ”
Xiao Yu said: "I'm not sure, I didn't feel a trace of energy fluctuations when these changes happened, even if the earth trembled just now, I didn't notice anything, but it happened in an instant. ”
As soon as the two of us finished speaking, we said in unison, "It's not good, get out of the way." ”
Before the flames could react to what was happening, they were pulled away by me, and as soon as the flames shouted, "What's wrong...... the earth changed again.
A huge tree quickly grew from the place where we were standing just now, and the branches of the big tree kept spreading in all directions, and we had to fly in the air when we saw this, I didn't have Xiaoyu's kind of skills and physique, so I could only fly with a sword, and the flames kept looking around behind me, lest something happen in the air.
The flames hugged me so tightly that I couldn't breathe, and I shouted, "I said Brother Flame, can you let me go first." ”
After hearing this, the flame took his hand back in embarrassment, I turned my head to look at him and said with a smile: "Haha, how can there be such a big contrast with the flame I saw when I entered Huoyun City?"
Xiaoyu snorted and said: "He, that's his virtue, he always likes to be in the limelight when he's fine, and when something happens, he will just hide behind like a mouse." ”
Flame didn't care what Xiao Yu said, just smiled, and then shouted in surprise: "Look down." ”
We listened to the flames and looked down, but the water below was already occupied by the big tree, we looked at each other and thought that Edgeworth had flown past, who knew that a new change had arisen, and it was not far from what the flames thought.
There was indeed a change in the air, only to see that the trunk of the big tree grew up rapidly, quickly covering the top of our heads, and enveloping us firmly.
The flame ghost howled and said, "It's over, now we're going to be the nourishment of this dryad." ”
Xiaoyu said angrily, "Shut up." ”
Flame is still very afraid of Xiao Yu, this level does not have to be clear from the fear brought by danger, but usually he only treats Xiao Yu as a little girl, but as long as Xiao Yu roars, Flame will behave like a cat.
Seeing this, I smiled: "Hehe, okay, it's important that we still find a way to get out." ”
Flame said, "This tree is not like other trees, it is a dryad, how can we escape?"
I said, "Don't worry. Then I took off the sword of the priesthood behind my back, and as soon as I took it off, the true yuan power in my body overflowed outward, and the flames were shocked: "I didn't expect Brother Wang's true yuan power to be so strong." ”
I smiled and didn't say anything before using my True Yuan Power and injecting the Orchid Flame into the Priest's Sword, and then slashed at the trunks of the trees above us, only to see that the trunks were easily split, and the branches were quickly burned to ashes.
Flame wanted to laugh when he saw this, but before he could laugh, the new branches filled the void on it.
I saw that I went to cut those branches again, and after repeating it a dozen times, I gave up my action and looked at Xiaoyu next to me.
Xiaoyu knows: "I also feel like this, every time you cut it, new branches will grow quickly, and each new branch will be harder than the previous branch, and I can feel that these branches contain a certain energy, this energy is the reason why it can grow quickly." ”
I nodded and said, "Maybe so, I'm struggling more and more every time, but it doesn't affect this tree in the slightest. ”
Then the flame suddenly said, "No, I don't think it's the cause of this big tree, it should be something under the big tree." ”
Xiaoyu and I looked at the flame suspiciously, and the flame smiled and said, "Although my current realm is not very high, how can I say that it is also the spiritual fire between heaven and earth, so there is some kind of connection between heaven and earth." ”
"Then why didn't you just say it. Xiao Yu asked angrily, touched the back of her head, and said with a smile: "I wasn't scared just now." ”
I couldn't help but laugh when I heard this, and Xiao Yu softened her mood and said, "Then can you feel what is down there?"
Flame said, "I can't feel it, the thing below is very strange, like some kind of spirit animal, but it is not like, it is not like some kind of spirit creature bred between heaven and earth. ”
After the flame finished speaking, he jumped down: "You two wait for me, I'll be back in a while." As soon as the flame jumped down, it turned into countless small fireballs, and gradually these small fireballs turned blue-purple, and finally purple, and when he was about to touch the roots of the tree, they turned into colorless flames.
I looked at the flame in surprise and then looked at Xiao Yu again, Xiao Yu said, "The two of us can only rely on him now, it is indeed the Holy Lotus Fire." ”
I was even more surprised when I heard Xiao Yu say these four, this was actually the transformation of the Holy Lotus Fire that ranked seventh in the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire.
I asked, "Since he is really the Holy Lotus Flame, why did he only say that he wanted to leave some room for future generations when we were in the Fire Cloud Palace, instead of taking us to find the Holy Fire Lotus Seed?"
Xiao Yu shook his head: "Don't you see? Although he has turned into a human form, but the realm is very low, he even forgot where he was born from, I once asked him, he only vaguely remembered that he was a spiritual fire, and he also knew what the environment around him was born like, but sometimes when I asked him again, he never seemed to know." ”
I heard Xiao Yu say this and nodded: "Maybe its transformation is not stable enough, I will find a way, maybe one of my treasures can help him." ”
Xiaoyu was very happy when she heard this: "Really, then please ask Brother Shixiong, you must help him." ”
I was so happy to see Xiaoyu that I had a very bold idea: "Do you like flames?"
Xiao Yu blushed and lowered her head when she heard my words: "Brother Shixiong, what are you talking about?"
I burst out laughing, just as flames suddenly flew up: "Hehe, are you talking about me?"
Xiao Yu returned to her old attitude and said to the flames, "Did you find anything?"
Flame smiled and said, "Hehe, there are a few rats down there and nothing special. ”
I shook my head: "It can't be that simple, there must be something else we haven't found." I thought for a moment, and then said, "I'm afraid there is something wrong with those rats that Flame said just now. ”
Xiao Yu looked at me and didn't speak, but the flame asked, "What's so strange about just a few mice?"
I said, "I'm afraid these rats are not that simple, otherwise why can't Brother Flame be sure if they are spirit beasts just now? And even Xiao Yuhe and I can't detect their traces, if you don't have a trace of spiritual fire and them, I'm afraid you won't be able to detect them." ”
"Even if those rats have problems, they can't let this tree grow as big as it wants, right?" Flame asked me, "There is a problem with these mice, if my guess is right, it was these rats who were watching us in the first place, and this big tree is probably really a terrifying man-eating tree." ”
"I've only heard of man-eating flowers, I haven't heard of any man-eating trees. The flame said to himself, "This man-eating tree is rarely known, it is an ancient tree left over from ancient times, but it was extinct thousands of years ago, how can it appear here?"
Xiao Yu said, "Is it carried by some primeval spirit beast?" ”
When I heard Xiao Yu say this, I suddenly became like a big one: "Hearing you say this, I can understand why there are a few mice under the roots of the tree, maybe these mice are primeval spirit beasts." ”
"I don't want to care about any primeval spirit beasts right now, I just want to get out of this hellish place quickly. The flame and the wolf howled, Xiaoyu shook his head helplessly, I saw the flame and Xiaoyu couldn't help laughing, "These two people are really a pair of enemies." After going out from here, we must find out what the origin of this rat clan is, and who is the mastermind behind the scenes?"
