Chapter Ninety-Five: The Strange Talisman of the Hidden Land
Zhu Jiu used the Yin Spirit Talisman to cover Ling Xue's Yang Qi all over her body, and the two began to go deep into the woods where the Yin Qi was strong.
The light in the forest is dim, and the trees are tall and scattered, nearly 100 meters high, and more than 10 meters low.
The trees lack the vitality of normal vegetation, but are filled with a strong shade and cold, and the trunk is black and brown in color, which is not much different from ordinary trees in appearance.
The Yin Spirits and ghosts that exist in the shadows of the trees are also extremely dense, most of these Yin Spirits are composed of a dark fog or shadow, and some of them have been out of the low-level range, and the powerful Yin Spirits with the third-order breath can occasionally be seen floating around.
Ling Xue didn't know the art of ghost paths at all, in this cold woods, she felt a chill down her back from time to time, even though she was standing under the Yin Spirit Rune, knowing that these ghost things couldn't find herself, she still felt a chill from the bottom of her heart from time to time.
After Zhu Jiu entered the woods, he released the sunset and hid into the void to explore the way in front of him, and Ling Xue followed closely behind, looking very cautious.
After walking through the dark woods for half an hour, Zhu Jiu saw a tree in the distance that was hugged by a person, and the whole body looked like a big tree of black jade, and his eyes immediately lit up.
This tree is more than five feet tall, and its aura is far colder than that of ordinary trees.
Under the tree were several clouds of fog ghosts with a strong yin qi and a third-order aura.
Sunset received Zhu Jiu's order, and manifested his form from the void, looking up to the sky and roaring silently, and the newly evolved several yellow flames on his back immediately spread to his whole body, looking the same as when Sunset broke through and was recast by soul flames.
The flames that envelop the setting sun burn fiercely, and the steaming flames form a silhouette of flames around the body of the setting sun.
The outline of this flame was shaped like a huge beast, somewhat similar to the shape of the setting sun, and the moment the flame beast was formed, a boundless ferocious intent spread out at the same time.
This flame beast suddenly jumped out and pounced on the few yin spirits entrenched under the tree, the flames that formed the flame beast's body seemed to carry incomparably destructive power, and several yin spirits that came into contact with the flames were instantly vaporized and disappeared completely.
Then the flame beast leaped back into the setting sun, disintegrating and transforming into several flame sprouts attached to its back.
Is this Sunset's new ability, the Murderous Spirit?
It turned out that the soul flame on the back conjured up a flame beast, which was equivalent to providing a soul flame clone composed of flames for the sunset.
Zhu Jiu quickly walked to the inky jade-like tree after thinking about it, reached out and touched the body of the tree, closed his eyes and sensed it silently.
After a while, Zhu Jiu snorted softly, his hand formed a claw shape, and slowly pulled back, as if he was pulling something from the body of the tree.
With Zhu Jiu's gesture of slowly retracting, a thick ink-like cloud of cold air that seemed to freeze everything was pulled out.
The next scene made Ling Xue open her mouth in surprise, after this thick black air mass was pulled out by Zhu Jiu, the original tree that was more than five zhang tall and thicker than a person withered rapidly, and finally dissipated and collapsed into powder, almost completely disappearing.
Zhu Jiu stretched out his hand with a smile on his face, and the sunset came silently, and the soul flame swallowed this thick black into it in a roll, and the soul fire was steaming and fluctuating, and the dead qi contained in it actually improved.
Ling Xue couldn't help but ask:
"What did you just pull out?"
Zhu Jiu chuckled and replied:
"That tree just now is different, it can gather yin qi to accelerate its own growth, and it is possible to become a demon over time, what I took out is its tree heart, which is strong in yin power, and it is a great supplement for the genus of ghost things and demon corpses, if I don't extract its core, then its wood can also be used to refine ghost treasures,"
After that, the two continued to go deeper, and this time nothing abnormal happened, and an hour later, Zhu Jiu suddenly showed an expression of listening attentively, turned back to Ling Xue and said:
"There is a battle going on hundreds of meters ahead, and there are quite a few of them, let's go and see. ”
The two of them followed the sound and walked a short distance, when they saw that in the darkness ahead, the light of various spells flickered, like fireworks flashing in the dark night.
The place where the battle took place was a relatively flat clearing, and in the center of the clearing stood an unusually thick tree.
This tree is very strange, about fifty meters high, but its diameter is not below the height, and the overall appearance is extremely rough.
At this time, the tree was piercing out of the ground with many roots, and the earth was surging, and it was fighting with a human team around it with amazing momentum, and the various magic flames seen in the distance were the ones that this group of people sent when they attacked the tree.
The number of people in this team was nearly hundred, and several of them had extremely deep mana, and their cultivation should have approached or broken through to the level of the fifth order or above.
Zhu Jiu and the two of them hid more than 100 meters away, looking through the gap between the trees at the branches, leaves, and roots, like a big tree with thousands of arms dancing together.
This tree has grown to such a rough extent, and it obviously has a simple and hazy consciousness, and it looks like it has been hot for more than 10,000 years.
The Yin Tree of this level is the best at gathering Yin Qi, and will produce fruits with strong Yin Qi on the tree, and the Yin Ghost Tree King who has been burning for more than tens of thousands of years can even produce plant-like demon corpses containing soul flames.
And the most valuable thing about this kind of tree is the heart of the tree hidden deep in the root system under the tree, which is a valuable material that can refine many ghost artifacts.
Ling Xue asked Zhu Jiu softly:
"What are they doing attacking this strange tree for no reason?"
Zhu Jiu looked at the battle in the distance with shining eyes, wondering in his heart how to take advantage of it, and replied softly:
"There are too many people in this team, and the means of covering up the yang energy are not thorough enough, they must have been detected by this tree when they passed by, and someone should have been devoured by this yin tree first, and these people attacked frantically at this time, just to retaliate. It's a pity that they don't know that such Yin Ghost Tree Kings have the ability to mobilize the Yin Qi of the entire forest to bless their bodies, as long as the heart of the tree is not destroyed, no matter how much damage they take, they can be reborn in a few days. ”
At this time, several people with profound mana in that team also began to take action personally, and several extremely powerful spells exploded on the tree one after another, and the ground within a hundred meters shook violently.
The tree was attacked by the continuous and powerful spells of these people, and immediately let out a miserable 'chirp' scream, and the tree began to shrink in circles.
In the blink of an eye, it became only the thickness of ordinary people's hugs, more than ten meters high, and several limbs and feet composed of roots and tendrils turned out of the soil under the tree, which actually looked like they wanted to move and escape.
Several exceptionally powerful humans in the team besieging the tree laughed shamefully, and immediately strengthened the offensive, after several fierce attacks, the tree exploded into a cloud of powder, and a thick yin qi swept away, and the moment the tree exploded, hundreds of low-level yin spirits rushed out of the tree, scattering and flying, making people's hearts numb, this ghost tree seemed to have been completely destroyed.
The large team of adventurers bombarded the ghost tree several times with powerful spells in succession, and killed the surrounding Yin spirits before continuing to rush deeper into the trees.
Before these people left, several powerful people in the team also glanced at the hiding place of Zhu Jiu and the two people, obviously they had found that the two of them were hiding here, but they didn't say much.
When the team had gone far, Zhu Jiu turned around and said to Ling Xue:
"You stay still, I'll go to the ground where the tree dwells and take a look, hehe!"
As he spoke, the sea knowledge talisman appeared above his head, and the thick earth mountain pattern in it shone slightly, and there were rich earth fluctuations spreading.
Zhu Jiu pulled this incomparably thick aura, and slowly moved and depicted it in the void in front of him, and immediately there was a thick earth aura gushing out from the ground, attached to the mysterious rune depicted by Zhu Jiu in the sky, making this rune more and more thick, and the breath seemed to be connected with the earth's movement.
The rune carved by Zhu Jiu at this time is called the Escape Talisman, and when blessed on himself, it has the magical effect of walking underground like flat ground.
It is said that when this rune is cultivated to the extreme, it still has the magical power to enter the Nine Secluded Underworld.
