Chapter 34 The Tree of the Dead
"Master Xiang, what are you doing? Are you crazy?"
All this happened in an instant, and by the time Zheng Tianyuan reacted, Granny Snake and Chi Long had turned into mummies, while Mr. Xiang was staring at the flowers and bones on the tree with excitement.
"Crazy? Haha, I'm not crazy. How could I be crazy?" Mr. Xiang replied, but his eyes kept staring at the flower bones in front of him, his expression seemed a little crazy.
After successively absorbing the energy and blood of Granny Snake and Red Dragon, the flower bone on the tree finally changed. The petals slowly unfolded, and a delicate and evil flower appeared in front of the three of them.
The flower has five petals, each petal has a color, red, yellow, blue, black, and white, and looks very gorgeous.
What's weird is that there is a human face on three of the petals. They can be vaguely identified as Ah Bao, Snake Granny and Chi Long. The breeze blows, the flowers sway, the petals open and close, and the three people on the petals are...
His face was also shaking slowly, as if he was smiling at someone, which made people shudder.
Zheng Tianyuan shuddered and said in a trembling voice: "Then... what is that?"
"That's the dead man's flower. The dead man's flower grows on the dead man's tree. The dead man's flower drops the longevity fruit. When the longevity fruit ripens, the dead are alive. The bones are buried under the dead man's tree!"
Mr. Xiang stared at the flowers with eager eyes and whispered softly, as if he was afraid of disturbing the flowers on the tree: "This tree is called the Dead Man's Tree, and that flower is called the Dead Man's Flower. Only when it is watered with living vitality and blood can the Dead Man's Tree grow."
It will bloom. When the dead flower falls, it will bear a fruit called the longevity fruit. As the name suggests, the longevity fruit has the effect of prolonging life, strengthening the body, and being invulnerable to all poisons. No matter how serious the injury is, as long as there is a breath, you will live forever.
It can be restored by any fruit, and it is one of the top ten miraculous fruits."
"The Dead Man's Tree, the Dead Man's Flower, and the Immortality Fruit are really ironic!" Ye Qing sneered: "To put it bluntly, isn't it just transferring other people's lives to yourself?"
"Haha, what a rough idea!" Mr. Xiang grinned, his eyes still not leaving the dead man's flower on the tree.
"So, you raided Granny Snake and the others just to make the Dead Man Tree blossom and bear fruit!" Zheng Tianyuan asked.
"Not bad!" Mr. Xiang nodded.
"Eternal Life Fruit, okay, great, Mr. Xiang, as long as you give me the Immortality Fruit, I can forget about today's incident!" Zheng Tianyuan looked at the Dead Man Flower, his eyes also becoming extremely fiery.
"Huh?" Hearing this, Mr. Xiang finally turned his head and looked at Zheng Tianyuan, with a surprised and amused look.
"Oh, what a fool!" Ye Qing raised his forehead, and he finally saw that Zheng Tianyuan was a fool with a confused mind.
"What did you say?" Hearing this, Zheng Tianyuan glared angrily.
Ye Qing spread his hands: "Mr. Zheng, haven't you noticed yet? Today's matter is probably all arranged by Master Xiang!"
Master Xiang glanced at Ye Qing curiously: "When did you guess it?"
Ye Qing said: "Just now, you should have known that there is a Dead Man's Tree here, otherwise you would not know so much about the Dead Man's Tree, and from the moment you entered here, your attention has been focused on the Dead Man's Tree, which seems a bit strange. If you say
If these are all coincidences and accidents, then what's the explanation for why you changed your usual caution and rashly asked Abao to get the wooden box above without knowing the tree clearly?"
"There is only one answer, and that is to let the Dead Man Tree absorb Abao's vitality and blood. The same reason is why we attacked Granny Snake."
"If I'm not wrong, I'm afraid, Mr. Xiang, your goal from the beginning was the Dead Man's Tree and the Fruit of Immortality! And Ah Bao and others are all the food you prepared for the Dead Man's Tree!"
"Haha, the younger generation is to be feared, the younger generation is to be feared!" Mr. Xiang laughed loudly and said, "Yes, my goal from the beginning is the longevity fruit."
"What do you mean?" Zheng Tianyuan was still confused.
"What do you mean? It means that all this was arranged by me." Mr. Xiang laughed proudly: "Otherwise, Mr. Zheng, where do you think the treasure map of the old man Xueying in your hand came from? That was my intention to ask Grandma Snake
For you!"
"Grandma Snake is yours?" Zheng Tianyuan said subconsciously.
Mr. Xiang stroked his beard and said: "Of course, otherwise why would she suggest you to cooperate with me in the first place? Hehe, that was also arranged by me. Otherwise, you idiot, how could you find so many people and follow me here obediently?"
To die?"
"Of course, I just hid a little bit of information about the Dead Man's Tree and the Everlasting Fruit. I think Mr. Zheng won't mind."
"Grandma Snake is yours, how could you be so cruel as to kill her?" Zheng Tianyuan said in disbelief.
A ferocious smile appeared on Mr. Xiang's face: "There is only one longevity fruit. How can two people share it? One person can get half of it? Of course it would be best if one of them dies!"
"You are so cruel!" Zheng Tianyuan felt a chill in his body, and his eyesight turned black, as if the sky was falling. He originally thought that the treasure map of the old man Xueying was a great opportunity, but he did not expect that it turned out to be a carefully crafted treasure map.
Designed trap.
"This dead man tree needs the vitality of living people, and the blood can bloom and bear fruit. Then you can just find some people with no background and strength and kill them. Why bother with the Zheng family?"
Ye Qing asked curiously.
"Haha, if it's not necessary, I don't want to do it, but who allowed this dead tree to grow next to Yulong Lake?" Mr. Xiang said helplessly: "The blood energy in Yulong Lake is very weird. Without special means or tricks,
, I don’t dare to get close at all.”
"In Anyang County, there are very few people with such special means and tricks. After asking for a long time, I learned that the Zheng family has a Buddha bone relic that can restrain the strange blood energy of Yulong Lake! So, I didn't
The only way is to find Mr. Zheng."
"In addition, the more vitality and blood the Dead Man Tree draws, the better the quality of the longevity fruit it produces. And what can be richer than the vitality and blood of a warrior? And what warrior can be better than the warriors led by Mr. Zheng?
, what about a higher level? I always like to strive for excellence and perfection in my work!"
Ye Qing nodded: "That's it! Master Xiang is really a good trick and a good scheming man!"
"Master Xiang, this time I admit defeat!"
After a while, Zheng Tianyuan finally became clearer: "I don't want the longevity fruit, I don't want it anymore. You plotted against me and killed Ah Bao, Chi Long and others. I can just pretend that it didn't happen. Our Zheng family can't do it either."
There will be no further investigation, as long as you let me leave, how about that?"
"Haha, it's great that Mr. Zheng can think so!" Mr. Xiang smiled and slowly walked towards Zheng Tianyuan: "Actually, I don't want to be an enemy of the Zheng family!"
Zheng Tianyuan's face was filled with joy. He only had the strength of the middle stage of Qi Condensation. Ah Bao, Chi Long and Granny Snake were all dead. He was no match for Master Xiang at all, so he had to find a way to survive first.
As long as he can go back alive, what kind of bullshit Mr. Xiang dares to plot against Zheng Tianyuan, and he will make the other party miserable?
However, when Master Xiang approached Zheng Tianyuan, he slapped Zheng Tianyuan on the head.
The incident happened suddenly, and Zheng Tianyuan seemed to be frightened, or he didn't expect that Master Xiang would dare to kill him. He didn't react for a moment, and stayed in place, watching helplessly as Master Xiang's palm fell on his head.
However, at this moment, a blade of light seemed to have crossed the distance of space and suddenly slashed towards Master Xiang's neck.
This knife was extremely fast and extremely sudden!
But Mr. Xiang reacted. Just when the light of the knife was about to pass by his throat, Mr. Xiang's body floated back gently like a fallen leaf, dodging the approaching knife.
"What a fast knife!" Mr. Xiang praised.
Ye Qing put away the knife and said with a smile: "Thank you!"
Master Xiang was not angry because of Ye Qing's sudden attack. He still had a kind smile: "I am very curious, how did you guess that I wanted to kill him?"
Ye Qing smiled softly: "Who is Young Master Zheng? I think you know better than me, Mr. Xiang. If you let him go, will he let you go? With your shrewdness, Mr. Xiang, how can you let him leave alive?"
"In addition, according to my observation, the dead flower does not seem to have bloomed completely. The dead flower has five petals, but only three people have died now. Only three petals have faces on them, so two more people should be needed.
Only dead flowers will bear fruit. There are only three of us left now. If it wasn’t Zheng Tianyuan and me, how could it be you, Mr. Xiang? Didn’t you deliberately let me in just to make up for the five people?”
"Compared to Zheng Tianyuan and I, Zheng Tianyuan is obviously a greater threat, so Mr. Xiang, your first target will definitely be Zheng Tianyuan."
"Wonderful, wonderful. If it weren't for the fact that this longevity fruit requires the vitality and blood of five people to mature, I would really be reluctant to kill you!" Mr. Xiang clapped his hands with a look of regret.
"How dare you kill me? How dare you kill me? My father is Zheng Feng, the head of the Zheng family and a martial artist in the Tuo Pulse Realm. If you kill me, he will definitely not let you go!" Zheng Tianyuan changed from his previous daze.
Zhong came to his senses and screamed.
Master Xiang smiled disdainfully: "I can't afford to offend the Zheng family, but who would know that I killed you? Don't forget, this is Yulong Lake, not your Zheng family. Besides, when I eat the immortal
As a result, if you increase your longevity and practice the "Blood Shadow Magic Skill", how can I take it seriously if you are just a member of the Zheng family?"
"So, you must die today."
Zheng Tianyuan was furious, mixed with a hint of fear: "You..."
"I say Mr. Zheng, save your strength, he won't let us go!" Ye Qing stopped Zheng Tianyuan and said: "For the current plan, we must join forces and kill Mr. Xiang, so that we can have a chance of survival."
Yes, Ye Qing's purpose in saving Zheng Tianyuan was to join forces.
Although Zheng Tianyuan is not a good person, he is easier to deal with than Xiang Ye, so killing Xiang Ye first is the top priority.
"You want to kill me, haha, you are not overestimating your own capabilities." Mr. Xiang sneered, raised his wrist lightly, and two flying knives shot out of the air, directly attacking Ye Qing and Zheng Tianyuan.
Ye Qing rolled on the spot and dodged the flying knives aimed at him in a very graceless manner. On the other hand, Zheng Tianyuan roared, took three steps in the air, and struck out with a palm, which was fierce and had the sound of thunder and lightning.
The unique skill of the Zheng family is the Wuji Thunder Palm.
However, just when his palm was about to fall on the flying knife, the flying knife suddenly turned into three handles, or to be precise, it was originally three flying knives, but was blended together by Master Xiang with special strength.
Together, it looks like a flying knife.
After transforming into three flying knives, the speed of the flying knives suddenly accelerated, and the angle of the flying knives also appeared very tricky and strange, attacking Zheng Tianyuan's different parts.
Zheng Tianyuan blocked the first flying knife, but he did not react to the other two knives. One of the two knives penetrated his chest and hit his heart.
The other one was inserted between his eyebrows, killing him with one blow.
