Step by step, as we see that we are getting closer, the gem is within reach, and when we are just about to reach out and get it, something happens suddenly.

The floor under his feet suddenly collapsed, and Qi Yue fell into it unexpectedly, and after he fell, the floor closed again, without a trace.

The jewel on the throne still shines brightly, the hall is still the same hall, and everything is calm again.

......

Half-asleep and half-awake, Qi Yue felt as if he was constantly falling from a height, but strangely enough, there seemed to be something below that supported him, so that he was not thrown to death during the coma.

Confused, he slowly opened his eyes, and memories came flooding back, remembering where he seemed to have fallen, and slowly stood up and looked around.

The wet soil under his feet let him know that he was still alive at the moment, and the place he was in seemed to be a cave, and he could clearly hear the sound of water not far away, and the splash of water dripping from the stalactites on the roof of the cave.

"Where is this? I remember that it seemed to have fallen from that hall just now" Being in a completely unfamiliar and dark place, Qi Yue was still a little worried in his heart, and this place didn't seem to be inhabited, and it was hard to say if there was a way out.

Picking up the lost long sword not far from his side, he listened carefully and found that the sound of the water was coming from the left, so when he couldn't find the way, Qi Yue chose to follow the direction of the water flow.

Turning a corner, the scene in front of him suddenly opened up, and a large open space appeared in front of him, and there was a towering giant tree growing in the center, and I don't know what kind of tree the branches were straight up, and I couldn't see how tall it was.

After slowly leaning over, he found that he still underestimated the height of this tree, and a bare rhizome would be three or four times higher than Qi Gao, and Qi Yue, who was standing under the giant tree, felt so small for the first time.

The strangest thing is that the bark of the giant tree is dotted with some grass, illuminating the area. Although it is not as good as the gem I saw before, it is no different from the outside world.

Just when Qi Yue was still amazed by the creation of nature, several vines behind him actually moved, gradually approaching him, but he didn't notice it at all.

Qi Yue looked up and suddenly found that the giant tree was actually very lush and bearing some fruits. I just wanted to step up and pick it up.

Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking the sky behind him, and the instinct of being a martial artist made him subconsciously jump to the side, and took the opportunity to look behind him with his spare light, and found that it was actually a few rattans that attacked him.

What's even more incredible is that the speed of the rattan is still extremely fast, and it immediately reversed its direction when it missed the blow, and quickly wrapped itself around Qi Yue.

Although he hadn't figured out what was going on, he didn't want to be a zongzi, so the swordsmanship he had just learned came in handy.

"The yellow sand is long!" the long sword was unsheathed. The sword light suddenly turned into several streams, each of which slashed towards the vines, rubbing twice, and the fragile vines broke in response.

Seeing this situation, Qi Yue thought it was over and wanted to go and observe, but a few vines flew up from the giant tree and came towards Qi Yue.

Only this time, both speed and tenacity have increased. The long sword slashed at it, but only a few scratches were left, and it was difficult to enter.

"I'll go! this tree is fine!" dodged a vine coming from behind him, and slashed it with a backhand. It turned out to be ineffective at all.

Seeing that the rest of the vines were surrounding again, he hurriedly gave up the attack first, and instead used the most familiar body technique, dodging again and again, fighting and retreating. After a while, he retreated to the wall, and saw that there was no way back behind him. Qi Yue no longer kept his hand. The light blue internal force gathered on the sword body, making this ordinary long sword emit a brilliant blue light, which was extremely gorgeous.

His eyes looked directly at the vines that Qi was attacking him, and he suddenly shouted: "Break the wind and cut the waves!"

The blue sword burst out of his body, slashing several vines as hard as steel with unparalleled force. The remnants of the sword qi flew towards the opposite wall, blasting the wall two feet deep, and the rubble splattered all over the ground.

"Whew~!" The first time he used this move, the powerful sword qi really did not disappoint him, and even far exceeded his imagination. However, although the strength is strong, the price is not small, and even if this move is performed in the late stage of the Hundred Veins Realm, it will cost nearly forty percent of the internal force.

Although his internal strength is higher than that of the same realm, it can only be compared to the average late stage, and he cannot recover in an instant.

After finally cutting off the vines, he wanted to meditate and recover his internal strength, but the last thing he wanted to see happened. The countless vines wrapped around the giant tree's body flew towards him as if they were being manipulated, and they were overwhelming, and there was no way to avoid it.

What's more, the force was too strong just now, which caused some follow-up powerlessness, and I could only watch these vines wrap themselves into a big dumpling and hang it up.

Only one head can move all over his body, and the rest of the body can't exert any strength at all, but that's not what worries him the most. Since he had just been tied up by the vines, he suddenly found that the remaining internal force in his dantian had been constantly draining.

You must know that internal strength is the foundation of a martial artist, and it is not unimportant, so Qi Yue was so frightened that he hurriedly let Xiaoxi check it.

Variety: Devouring Vines

Strength evaluation: second-grade inferior spirit plant

Talents: Soul Eater, Tenacity

Soul Eater: When the tree vine entangles the warrior, it can devour its internal power to nourish itself.

Toughness: After the vine evolves to the second grade, it can greatly improve its toughness.

"No, you have to think of a way, if you go on like this, you will be sucked dry sooner or later!" There are at least ten vines wrapped around his body, even if they are not devouring fast, they are enough to suck Qi Yue dry together.

Just as he was thinking about how to escape, a human voice came from nowhere.

"Do you want to live?" the voice couldn't tell if it was male or female, but one thing was certain, it was definitely a human voice.

"Of course, please also ask the seniors to help!" At this moment, Qi Yue was in a predicament, and the more Qi Yue didn't care about whether the other party was good or evil, he just wanted to escape first.

"If you want to live, then I ask you questions, and you must answer them truthfully"

"Of course, if the seniors have questions, even if they ask, I know everything and say everything!" As soon as he heard that the other party was just asking some questions, how could Qi Yue disagree, and he agreed directly.

"Let me ask you, what did you just use the Hundred Battles Crazy Sand Sword Technique?"

These made Qi Yue stunned, he had just obtained this sword technique, and it stands to reason that no one would know about it, how could the other party recognize it.

Although he had doubts, since he wanted others to save him at this moment, Qi Yue could only answer truthfully: "If you go back to your predecessors, this sword technique is indeed called the Hundred Battles Crazy Sand Sword!"

After Qi Yue answered, the other party was silent for a long time for some reason before continuing to ask: "Then have you been to a place called Qingniu Village?" This time it was different from the previous emotionless voice, and there was obviously a slight pause when mentioning Qingniu Village.

"I did go to a place called Qingniu Village, and this sword technique was also obtained there, but I don't know if it's the same place as what my predecessors said?"

"The Qingniu Village you went to is on the shore of Yushui?" the man's tone was obviously more excited, and even his voice was a little hoarse.

"Exactly!"

"I see, it seems that the Dugu thief lied to me, hahahaha......" The man inexplicably said something that Qi Yue didn't understand, and then there was a series of laughs.

Qi Yue didn't know why the other party was laughing, but he didn't want to know, what he was doing now was just the vine on his body, in just a few words, his internal strength was missing two layers, and he was about to be sucked up, Qi Yue couldn't help it anymore, and interrupted the other party with words: "Senior, can you untie this vine for me first!"

The other party was obviously a little annoyed that he interrupted him, and snorted coldly: "A few vines won't kill you, if you answer my question obediently, I will naturally save you!"

At this moment, although he was very angry that the other party had reversed course, he could only swallow his anger and say: "What questions do you have with the senior, please hurry up and ask!"

"Let me ask you again, is the current martial arts alliance leader still the old thief of Duguye?"

"Duguye?" Qi Yue rummaged through the memories in his mind, remembering that the disciple who greeted him seemed to have said that the first martial arts alliance leader seemed to be called Duguye, so he replied depressedly: "Senior, aren't you playing tricks on me?" Duguye's predecessor is the first leader of the martial arts alliance, if he lives to this day, he will be at least more than six hundred years old."

"What? Dugu Ye is dead, this is impossible!" The man seemed to have heard some incredible news, and shouted "This is impossible", "He won't die" and the like, if Qi Yue didn't want him to save his life, he really didn't want to pay attention to such a madman.

"Then let me ask you, you said that the leader of the martial arts alliance is not Duguye, will there be others who can't do it?"

Qi Yue was even more depressed, he was now almost certain that this person was a madman, and sighed and said: "Although I don't know how many masters of the current martial arts alliance are, he is definitely not called Duguye, but Nangong Ze!"

"Nangong Ze!How is it possible?How can someone from the Nangong family be the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance?Could it be that the Canglang Kingdom has been destroyed?" A series of questions made Qi Yue not know how to answer him at all, so he could only find a way to get rid of the vines by himself while listening to this madman's nonsense.

"Boy, if you answer my last question, I'll get you out!" After a moment, the man seemed to regain his senses, and suddenly said to Qi Yue.

Although he was no longer hopeful, Qi Yue still decided to trust the other party one last time, "Okay, you ask!"

"Do you know how Dugu Ye died?" the man didn't seem to give up, and wanted to make a final confirmation.

"I don't know, I don't seem to have heard anyone talk about it, but I think that such a powerful character should not die at the hands of others, probably at the end of his life!" Qi Yue told all his knowledge and some guesses, as for whether the other party would save him, it would be up to fate.

The body suddenly loosened, and the vines that wrapped around him seemed to be frightened, and instantly retracted into the roots of the Dao giant tree, and there was no more movement.

After falling to the ground, Qi Yue immediately thanked him in the air and said: "Thank you seniors for the rescue, dare to ask the seniors if they can be sent, and do your best when you make up your mind."
