Volume II: Clouds Rise Chapter 142: Destination

"Light is bright because it hides darkness and can leave the filthy things in the unknown abyss. ”

- Li Xuanfeng

In a pitch-black abyss, a man strides forward, with iron rings on his hands, wrists, neck, and feet, connected by thick chains, looking like a tortured prisoner.

But he is not a prisoner, he is a demon passing through the abyss, a beast that has lost his mind, and a Taiji demon corpse cast by Tsukasa Muji himself.

The demon corpse rampaged through the abyss like a scavenger, followed by two black shadows hidden under his hat.

"It's really lucky, fourth, originally we just heard about this place from a passerby, and by the way, we searched the soul and killed someone and took the so-called token, but I didn't expect to really be able to enter this place. ”

The person who was called "the fourth" was not as proud as the other party when he heard the words of his companion, but he also had a strong sense of confidence in his words.

"Thanks to your cleverness, you got useful information from that unjust ghost, so that we can find this corpse underground and train him into a puppet for us to drive, otherwise, the level of the Dream Moth Bone alone will be enough to kill us. ”

"Yes, fortunately, you usually read a lot of books, you have heard the legends here, and you know what those are, otherwise maybe our brothers would have really planted them this time. The person who spoke first agreed with the fourth child's words, although he couldn't see his face clearly, but he also had palpitations when he heard his tone.

The fourth nodded with deep feeling, and said again: "But third brother, what did you find in that guy's memory, why are you so excited, you have to come here." ”

When the other party heard this, he didn't know what he remembered, his body trembled with excitement, and he said: "It's okay to tell you, fourth, there is a treasure hidden here, a treasure that is unparalleled in the world." As long as we can get this thing this time, even if we don't have a father, our brothers will be able to rule the world sooner or later. ”

Of course, the fourth brother heard the emotions in his third brother's words, and he was even more puzzled in his heart, and continued to ask: "What the hell is going on, third brother, you should make it clear when you are here, right?"

"Haha!" The third child chuckled, turned his head to look at the brother next to him, and was about to say something, when he suddenly stopped, looking ahead with fiery eyes.

The fourth child was still puzzled, but when he saw him looking forward like this, he was stunned.

I saw that the Tai Chi Demon Corpse in front of him had stopped, and there was a round pool in front of him, which looked no more than two or three zhang wide, and in the center of the pool, a three-foot-high platform stood quietly, the platform was full of cracks, and I don't know how many years it had existed.

On the platform, there is a small crystal tree more than a foot high, crystal clear, the body of the tree is emitting bursts of white smoke, countless green liquid flows out of the tree, burrows into the cracks and hides, quietly flows into the pool under the platform.

The Taiji Demon Corpse was now at the forefront looking at this scene suspiciously, and subconsciously wanted to rush to the platform, but he was ordered by the master behind him, so he could only stand there obediently and remain motionless.

"This ...... What is this?" the fourth man rubbed his eyes, a little unable to believe the scene in front of him. If such a scene were just a scene, they would never be so out of shape. But neither of them is weak, and they clearly feel the breath of life and vitality around them, how can they really treat the things in the pool as mortal.

"The legendary tree of life is really here!" Ignoring the fourth child's doubts, the third child excitedly moved forward, came to the edge of the pool, and stretched out his hand to touch the small tree that was close at hand.

But there was an invisible wall around the pool, so his hand could only stop in mid-air.

But even without him, he couldn't touch it, the human hand was not that long, and he didn't notice that the fourth child behind him was shocked by his words.

"Three...... Third Brother......... You said...... This is the tree of life?"

"That's right, fourth, you can't think of it, right? Our brothers will have such a lucky day to be able to see this legendary treasure, and he is now in front of him, let you pick it. ”

Speaking of which, the third child no longer bothered to hide his true face, and directly took down the hat, revealing a young face, and the fourth child also took off the hat on his head, and the two of them looked exactly the same.

Not only do they look exactly the same, but their movements and bodies are exactly the same, if it weren't for the difference in clothing, ordinary people would not be able to tell who was who in the two.

The fourth child also came to the pool, looked at the middle of the pool through the invisible wall, and said excitedly: "Third brother, what should we do now?"

"What else can I do, of course it's a treasure!"

The third child said, carrying strong spiritual power with both hands, raised his hand and pressed it again, wanting to forcibly break through the defense on the edge of the pool. When the fourth brother saw that his third brother had already made a move, he also made the same move, carrying the same spiritual power, and cooperating with the other party.

The spiritual power kept pouring in, but the wall was still a wall, even if it couldn't be seen, it couldn't break through, at most, the spiritual power of the two of them rippled a little on the invisible wall.

After a while, the two of them were already sweating profusely, and the third child was even more soaked in sweat, and he couldn't resist it anymore, so he withdrew his spiritual power at once, and his hands were on his knees panting.

And the fourth child is not much better than him, but he continues to insist on transmitting spiritual power.

But the fourth child didn't last too long, so he also withdrew his hand, raised his sleeve and wiped off the beads of sweat on his head, a little discouraged. Let's take a book

"Third brother, no, this formation is not ordinary, I have never seen anything like this, we can't break through it with brute force. ”

These words seemed to poke the third child's sore spot, so he stood up, clenched his fist and punched directly into the invisible wall, making a huge collision sound.

"If brute force doesn't work, we will find a way, we must not let the duck fly in our hands, whether it can be done or not, this will determine the future life path of our brothers. ”

"I understand!" the fourth nodded, took out a pill and swallowed it in his abdomen, and his tired state was immediately relieved. At the same time, he sat cross-legged on the spot, his hands pressed back to the invisible wall, trying to find a way to break the thing in front of him.

However, before he could put it on the wall, he was interrupted by the sound of a chain clattering.

The two brothers turned around together, only to see a faint white light flashing on the originally motionless Tai Chi Demon Corpse behind them, and the tyranny in their eyes was much less, replaced by a hungry and thirsty look, as if they wanted to go to the pool.

When the two saw this scene, they were a little confused, and an idea was suddenly born in their minds, and the two of them glanced at each other and guessed each other's thoughts.

They each moved to the side, and the third child looked at the Taiji Demon Corpse, and commanded: "You go and try it, if you can, bring that little tree out!"

With a word, he directly brought the Taiji Demon Corpse into the chaos of consciousness again, the desire in his eyes gradually disappeared, and when he heard the master's command, the Demon Corpse obediently walked forward, and also came to the edge of the invisible wall and stretched out his hand.

There was no hindrance, there seemed to be nothing in front of him, there was no accident, and the palm of the Tai Chi Demon Corpse passed through like this.

"Can it really work?" The fourth looked at the Tai Chi Demon Corpse whose hand had already entered half in disbelief, and his expression said that he was not born shocked or happy, including the third child.

The Taiji Demon Corpse did not have the master's second order, so naturally it would only respect the master's previous words, step by step, walk into the pool, and walk to the front of the platform.

Looking at the crystal tree in front of him, the Taiji Demon Corpse instinctively stretched out his hand, held the trunk of the tree, held the small tree in the palm of his hand, and slowly raised his hand to pull it out.

As he exerted his strength, the cracks on the platform grew larger and larger, and the pool began to boil, as if trying to stop his movements.

A powerful force slowly leaked out from the cracks in the platform, cold and desperate, the pool snorted and sounded, and the heat suddenly filled the surroundings, so that the sight of the two people outside was affected.

The pool was surrounded by smoke, and neither of the two could see the situation inside, and the Taiji Demon Corpse only left them with a faint back.

Because their attention was on the treasure, naturally, they didn't notice that the boiling pool water began to decrease.

I didn't see that in the center of the demon corpse's eyebrows, a small Taiji diagram appeared, constantly rotating, absorbing the power contained in the boiling water in the pool.

I didn't even see that under the tree of life, countless pitch-black silk threads were like maggots attached to the bones, emerging from the platform, constantly winding up along the trunk, and burrowing into the body of the Taiji Demon Corpse, making his eyes reveal a trace of humanized pain.

The two people outside looked ahead cautiously, their eyes full of hope, waiting for the moment when the person in the thick fog appeared.

Maybe it was their sincerity that touched the heavens, maybe it was something else. After waiting anxiously for a long time, the power in the pool began to fade, and the fog slowly dissipated, allowing them to see the scene inside clearly.

The Tai Chi Demon Corpse stood quietly in the middle of the pool, the surrounding pool water had completely disappeared, and even the platform in front of him had turned into a pile of ashes, and everything had become nothing more ordinary.

The only thing that is not ordinary is that in the right hand of the Tai Chi Demon Corpse, a small crystal tree is being written tightly by him, for fear that it will run away.

Seeing this scene, the two brothers were overjoyed, and did not hide the desire in their eyes at all, and the third child shouted directly: "Hurry up...... Take out the Tree of Life. ”

Hearing the shout, the Tai Chi Demon Corpse slowly turned his head to look at the two of them, his eyes were chaotic, and he dragged the chain and walked back.

The moment he walked out of the protective range of the pool, the third child couldn't wait to meet him, stretched out his hands and grabbed the tree of life in the hands of the Taiji Demon Corpse.

"Poof!"

A low and faint voice came into his ears, and the third child subconsciously turned around, and saw that there was an extra sword tip on his chest, with many red water droplets on it, slowly falling to the ground in front of him.

He tried to look behind him, but before he could turn his head, a palm was already on the back of his head.

"Farewell, my dear brother!"

In one sentence, it became the last swan song heard in the third child's life.
