Chapter 3604 Sacrificial offerings
When Mo Yujian saw it, he looked frightened and terrified.
If Gu Chengquan hadn't kindly reminded him just now, he would really have taken action, and the way he looked at Gu Chengquan changed for a moment.
Chen Xiao, who saw this horrifying scene in mid-air, his pupils were shocked, and he said in shock: "What is that? Is it a vine attack?"
"Yes, those black spikes are the branches of the true immortal tree. Anyone who dares to get close to the canopy of the tree will be attacked. The reason why so many thousand-year-old spiritual herbs you see have not been harvested is for this reason." Lie Xin.
said in a deep voice.
Obviously, he had known this secret for a long time before this, and Lie Xin was not the only one to know it.
But those monks who didn't know it, committed suicide, and their death was a little unjust.
"No wonder." Chen Xiao nodded.
No wonder he had seen so many thousand-year-old spiritual herbs before but no one picked them. This was the reason.
"So, this true fairy tree has become a spirit. It is no longer a dead tree, but a tree spirit?" Qin Daoyuan said thoughtfully.
"Yes, tree spirit, it is reasonable for a fairy tree to become a spirit." Lie Xin replied.
Chen Xiao nodded and agreed. It was nothing new for a tree demon to become a spirit. The Ten Thousand Demonic Vine Shiro in his body was transformed from the demonic vine that became a spirit. It was also a grass in essence.
"Since the Immortal Tree has become a spirit and has its own consciousness, why does it allow the monks to seize the True Immortal Fruit?" Chen Xiao asked again.
"The reason is very simple, because if it is not allowed, it will die." Lie Xin said straightforwardly.
"..." Chen Xiao looked shocked.
"The person who discovered this secret realm was not the Tribulation Immortal, but the Immortal Realm great master. Facing the powerful men of the Immortal Realm, no matter how powerful the Immortal Tree is, it is still a dead object and cannot be moved. As long as the Immortal Realm great masters are willing,
It can consume the immortal tree alive. In order to compromise, it has to offer the true immortal fruit. In return, this is what you see in front of you." Lie Xin said with a cold look.
After hearing this, Chen Xiao noticed that the bodies of the several Tribulation Immortals who had just been killed by black spikes had been sucked dry and turned into mummies, leaving only a pair of skins hanging on the ground, like a rag.
Extremely scary.
"This...the True Immortal Tree sucks up the essence and blood of the dead Tribulation Immortal, feeding it back and strengthening itself, at the cost of the True Immortal Fruit."
Chen Xiao finally understood, and it was terrifying to think about it carefully.
It turned out that these people were not here to seize the True Immortal Fruit at all, but were just sacrificial offerings to the True Immortal Tree.
To put it more bluntly, they are just fertilizer, living fertilizer used to grow fairy trees.
When Chen Xiao thought of this, his face turned pale, his mind was greatly shaken, and he subconsciously took a few steps back.
"So, we are actually fertilizer for growing trees?" Chen Xiao asked rhetorically.
Lie Xin smiled bitterly, as if he already knew the truth, and said: "Yes."
"That's not necessarily true. Fertilizer and tree cutters are sometimes the same." Qin Daoyuan retorted.
"Maybe, you two just need to think about how to survive later. When the fairy tree goes crazy, just try your best to survive." Lie Xin changed the subject and said solemnly.
"Is the fairy tree going crazy?" Chen Xiao was surprised.
Before he finished speaking, the big tree that was originally stationary in the center of the earth began to dance crazily, and the branches all over the body were trembling, as if going crazy.
The next moment, hundreds of black spikes emerged from the ground at extremely fast speeds, turning into countless black afterimages. Each black spike was thousands of feet long, like a whip, swinging back and forth to stab.
.
Puff puff puff.
Caught off guard, with just one blow, twenty or thirty Tribulation Immortals died. Like a huge meat skewer, they were pierced by black spikes and died on the spot.
The mad fairy tree is like a beast king defending its territory, fighting back desperately, trying to kill all the monks who dare to invade.
"Back off." Lie Xin shouted at the right time.
Chen Xiao did not dare to hesitate, because he saw that after the black spikes had sucked out the essence and blood of many monks, there was actually a trace of blood, exuding an extremely dangerous aura.
"Being able to stab so many Peak Tribulation Immortals to death with one blow shows that the attack power of each black spike is no weaker than that of a Peak Cultivator. It is truly a terrifying immortal tree."
Chen Xiao was frightened and made a judgment.
With so many black spikes, if he was besieged, he would definitely die. The only thing he could do now was to run away, desperately running away.
"ah!"
"No, what the hell is this, get out of here."
While fleeing, more than a dozen Tribulation Immortals died under the black spikes, and the Immortal Tree that absorbed more monks once again greatly increased the attack power of its black spikes. It accelerated violently and headed towards Chen Xiao.
Three people swept over.
"Escape separately." Lie Xin shouted.
"Um."
"yes."
Chen Xiao did not hesitate and dodged the first attack of the black spikes. Just as he was trying to teleport away, another spike struck.
There is no way to dodge, so the only option is to block with all your might.
"One word sword energy slash."
With Xuan Ling Sword in his hand, Chen Xiao slashed with all his strength, and an astonishing sword light shot out, hitting the black spikes.
Snap!
The Xuan Ling Sword was directly thrown away, and the black spikes hit Chen Xiao. His skin and flesh were instantly torn apart, blood gushed out all over his body, and he was knocked out. Fortunately, he endured the severe pain and took the opportunity to escape from the attack of the fairy tree.
scope.
"What a terrifying strength. Even though I was protected by the Ten Thousand Demon Vine, I actually suffered such serious injuries."
In mid-air, Chen Xiao looked at the fairy tree below, shocked.
On his chest, a huge gap was opened in the original black armor of Ten Thousand Demon Vine, revealing the flesh and blood underneath, which was particularly ferocious.
He quickly took a large amount of pills to recover from his injuries.
"Hero, what the hell is this thing? Does it have any weaknesses?" Chen Xiao asked rather unwillingly.
"The True Immortal Tree is just a fruit tree. In ancient times, this kind of tree could be seen everywhere and was very common. Originally, this True Immortal Tree that has survived to this day had the hope of becoming a spirit and transforming into a human form. Unfortunately, it chose the wrong path.
The potential ends here." Hiro said calmly.
Chen Xiao frowned, "What do you mean?"
"It means that its biggest weakness is that it cannot move. As long as you are far enough away and attack it with a flying sword, it will not be able to resist at all. Of course, it may also be blocked by his spikes. Now
Understood." Hiro replied.
After hearing this, Chen Xiao's face darkened and he chose to retreat without hesitation.
Because he knew very well that with his method, if he attacked at close range, he might have a chance to break through these black spikes, but if he attacked from a long distance and the power was greatly reduced, it would be almost impossible to break through the black spikes.
When Hero saw it, he smiled and said, "Smart."
"If I were not smart, I might not be able to survive now." Chen Xiao smiled bitterly.
