Chapter 272: Spread 4
The spiritual root of Lishui Zhi appeared at the end of the crystal jungle, where a huge crystal pillar ran through the zenith, and below it was just beside the leyline river flowing with spiritual power.
It is hard to imagine that the Lishui Zhi community, which covers almost the entire Qianjiao, has a spiritual root that is only the thickness of a child's arm. It is like a climbing plant, wrapped around the crystal pillar. Countless roots protruded from beneath it, deep into the leyline's spiritual fluid.
It seems that a trace of liquid spiritual power can be seen being extracted from the roots and merged into it. It seems that the source of Lishuizhi, which is so lush on the surface of the thousand feet, is the extremely abundant spiritual power in the earth's veins.
But this is not the most surprising aspect, Cai Qingjia is simply jaw-dropping. Because in the place where the spiritual roots are densely entangled, there is actually a person.
This is a woman, her eyes closed, her brow slightly frowned, as if she was taking a nap, and her side face looks delicate and tranquil. But her body is very terrifying. The reddish-brown spiritual roots of Yeosuzhi crisscrossed her body. Where the skin and the spiritual root meet, dense branches will spread.
It didn't even seem to know if she was growing in the spiritual root or if the spiritual root was growing in her body. She was almost one with the spiritual root, with only her head exposed. The root system of the knot had already covered her neck, and it seemed that it was only a matter of time before this delicate side face was completely submerged.
Su Lei stepped forward and gently straightened the bangs on his forehead for this face.
"Xiaoyue, wake up, I've come to see you. ”
Cai Qingjia stood behind him, and Su Lei's gentle attitude made her hair stand on end.
She had to admit that she had underestimated this Sioux City Lord a little.
She had heard of the name Xiaoyue, and before coming, Cai Qingjia got a piece of information about Thousand Kick City from Lu Long.
According to intelligence, Su Lei originally had a wife named Xu Weiyue. Judging from the description, it is almost certainly the one in the spiritual root. It is worth noting that three years ago, Su Lei was not the lord of the city. And the city lord is precisely this Xu Weiyue. Three years ago, there was no trace of Xu Weiyue's city lord, and Su Lei was in charge of Qianjiao City on his behalf. No one expected that this missing Xu City Lord would actually be here.
Su Lei's gentle call made Xu Weiyue temporarily sober, and she slowly opened her eyes and saw the lover in front of her. At the corners of his mouth, a happy smile naturally appears.
"Ray... It's been a long time... Didn't come to see me..."
Her voice was choppy, hoarse like a thorn. But you can still feel a sweet voice from it. She must have been a woman who sang well. It's just that she was parasitized by the spiritual root and destroyed everything for her.
Su Lei smiled gently and explained: "Xiaoyue, I'm too busy with work, I finally found time today, don't I come to see you right away." Men want their careers first, and I think you can understand that. ”
Xu Weiyue nodded with difficulty. "I understand... As long as you take me to heart..."
Speaking of which, she finally saw Cai Qingjia standing behind Su Lei. Her gaze was puzzled and then horrified.
"Ray! Who is she!"
Cai Qingjia sensed some kind of dangerous aura, and she couldn't help but take a step back.
Su Lei smiled indifferently: "Xiaoyue, don't get me wrong, this Elder Cai is our partner.
Xiaoyue, I have good news for you. President Lu Long has already planned to put all the surrounding seven cities under our management. And Elder Cai is the president's envoy, so I'm bringing her to meet you. ”
Xu Weiyue smiled reluctantly: "It turned out to be... Elder Cai... Fortunately. ”
Cai Qingjia smiled more reluctantly than her: "Fortunately." ”
"Well, your husband is very capable. Su Lei was very proud, "Xiao Yue, I will be the Lord of the Seven Cities in the future, and I will be an important figure in the entire region! ”
Xu Weiyue was not happy, she frowned slightly. "But, Ray ...... You've managed so many cities, so you don't have time to accompany me... I don't want you..."
"Shut up!" Su Lei said coldly.
Xu Weiyue closed her eyes in pain.
Probably thinking that this was not good, Su Lei's tone softened.
"Xiaoyue, I work hard all day long, but I am not all fighting for the happiness of the two of us? You are suffering in this dark place, don't I feel uncomfortable? I can only keep spurring myself to strengthen my power as soon as possible. Because only in this way can I have the ability to invite more strange people to find a way to get you out.
Xiaoyue, you don't know. All the money I got in exchange for Lishui Zhi was used by me to hire powerful cultivators. I had meetings with them every day, figured out solutions, and discussed them until midnight. I'm fighting so hard to get you home as soon as possible. Without you, I wouldn't be able to sleep alone at night.
Why can't you understand my good intentions!"
Su Lei said that he was excited, and even tears in his eyes. Xu Weiyue's heart throbbed: "Lei, don't say it... I believe you... No matter what you say... I believe in you..."
"Well, I knew you knew me best. Su Lei touched Xu Weiyue's cheek, "Oh, by the way, there's one more thing." Chairman Lu Long hopes that the production of Yeosuzhi can be increased a little more, so you can find some way here. ”
Xu Weiyue took a deep breath when she heard this. She closed her eyes and waited for a moment to respond.
"I ...... Got it......"
"Okay, then you're done today. Su Lei glanced at Cai Qingjia, "Elder Cai and I still have some formalities to deal with, so we'll go back first." Xiaoyue, I'll come to see you when I'm free. ”
Xu Weiyue looked at him, then at Elder Cai, and his voice was pleading: "Lei... Can you stay with me a little longer... Just for a moment... I'm so scared..."
Su Lei smiled: "What are you afraid of, they are such big people." Let's go, bye-bye. ”
After speaking, he took Cai Qingjia's hand and left without looking back.
The two of them returned to the surface along the leylines again through alchemy. It wasn't until he walked out of the mine and saw the Lishuizhi growing in the valley that Cai Qingjia asked:
"Because of her, Lishui Zhi has such a high yield, right? But she shouldn't be able to get out of there, can she?"
"Yes. Su Lei nodded, "I repeatedly persuaded her not to do this, but she didn't listen, and she wanted to do something about spiritual root symbiosis on her own." Okay now, put yourself in. Who can blame this, you can't blame me, right?"
Cai Qingjia stared at Su Lei deeply for a long time, and finally turned his face and smiled: "That's what I said." ”
Su Lei's face did not change: "If I hadn't thought about some old love, I was afraid that she would be too lonely, would I go to that ghost place to accompany her if I have nothing to do?" but..."
He changed his words: "You can also see that the woman only listens to me." If someone else goes, they might go crazy. ”
Su Lei's words were actually knocking on Cai Qingjia and the New World Association behind Cai Qingjia. The New World Society promised the Seven Cities City Lord in exchange for the exclusive operation of Lishui Zhi, but it would not work to leave Su Lei to unload the mill and kill the donkey. Because Xu Weiyue is only at his mercy. Su Lei can make her increase her production, and naturally she can reduce her production.
If Su Lei suffers some grievances, Xu Weiyue is afraid that Lishuizhi will be out of production immediately. In this way, the new world will be empty.
I don't know if Cai Qingjia understands it, she smiled and grabbed Su Lei's arm.
"I don't care about her now, I only care if you're true or false to me. ”
"I have a sincere heart for you!"
At this time, at the bottom of their feet, hundreds of thousands of meters deep underground.
The milky white river of spiritual power still flows, this is the power of the earth, majestic and peaceful. The entire underground space is silent, so silent that it can even make people forget the existence of time.
Xu Weiyue's eyes were half-closed, trying to remember how much time she had stayed here, but it was doomed to be in vain. In the dark underground where there are no people and more than 100,000 meters deep, there is no difference between yesterday and today.
But she still remembers when it all began.
That day, Su Lei begged her to find a way to increase the production of Lishui Zhi. She remembered him saying, "Honey, I know you're the best at it." Please, help me figure it out. As long as I have ten tons of Lishui Zhi, I can exchange it for a high-level mental method. You want me to get ahead, right?"
Xu Weiyue couldn't bear the pain of her man, so she made a dangerous attempt alone. Su Lei got what he wanted a few days later, and Xu Weiyue's body had an extra root.
Not long after, Su Lei needed a high-grade spirit sword again, this time in exchange for five hundred tons of Lishuizhi.
Then there are exercises, magic weapons, and elixirs...... Until one day, Xu Weiyue was completely entangled in the spiritual root here and couldn't leave.
Every time Lishuizhi increases production, the price is that Xu Weiyue is further eroded by the spiritual root. By now, her body had been completely occupied by the spirit root, and only this head remained. She resisted by all means she could, not letting those roots spread to her face. Because by that time, her consciousness will be completely lost.
Today, Su Lei asked her to increase her production again, and Xu Weiyue agreed without too much hesitation. Because it suddenly dawned on her that perhaps losing consciousness was the best option.
She penetrated her divine consciousness into the spiritual root of Lishui, controlling it to grow more roots so that it could absorb more of the spiritual fluid in the leylines.
But at a certain moment, Xu Weiyue suddenly stopped moving. Three sharp roots suddenly rose up, stabbing like snakes into a dark corner not far away.
"What a person!
Her eyes were clear and sharp, and her words were sharp and crisp, how could she look a little weak in front of Su Lei.
Ding, ding, ding! three impacts, the powerful root piercing was bounced away by Sun Xiang with a wave of his hand.
He stepped out of the gloom and spread his hands.
"I have no ill will. Sun Xiang said, "Although it is likely that you already know, I still have to remind you. ”
"If you increase the absorption capacity of the spiritual root, your consciousness will disappear completely. ”
The root whisker was rolled up and taken back by Xu Weiyue, and she said coldly:
"I don't need you to remind me. ”
"I think so. A genius cultivator who can create his own alchemy and find out the method of spiritual root symbiosis will not even know this.
It's me who talks too much. ”
Sun Xiang laughed at himself.
Then he took out a book, leaned casually against the crystal, and read it in a dim white light.
Xu Weiyue didn't take the opportunity to attack, just stared at him coldly.
After a while, she spoke: "Do you want to say that I am a stupid woman?"
"It's not. ”
"Do you want to tell me how many women Su Lei raised behind my back?"
"It's not. ”
Xu Weiyue roared angrily: "Then why don't you get out of here!"
Sun Xiang sighed, he put down the book, and said helplessly: "I just want to accompany you for a while." ”
Xu Weiyue looked at him in a daze, her eyes full of tears. She finally couldn't help it and cried in front of Sun Xiang.
At this time, it suddenly began to rain coldly on the ground. The workers who were picking in the valley hurriedly called it a day and took refuge.
Everyone looked at the sky and felt inexplicable. The night rain that only falls every evening, why did it start to rain at noon?
