Chen Shaojun frowned slightly, somewhat incomprehensible. Judging from the time, he had been unconscious for at least half a day. This experience was something Chen Shaojun had never had before. Obviously, all this should be related to the previous physical exertion and the witch's
Related to strength.
"By the way, I walked around here before."
At this moment, Xiao Wu's voice came into his ears.
"The person who defeated us seems to be called a wizard by others. They look different from the barbarians, but all the barbarians respect them very much and regard them as their own, just like the higher barbarians. And among the barbarians
Internally, there is more than one such wizard, and they seem to be the ones who really give orders within the barbarian tribe."
"oh?"
Chen Shaojun looked surprised, but after thinking about it, he felt relieved. Just like in the human world, there is Taoism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism. Obviously, there are not only those barbarian warriors among the barbarians.
Whether they are those rugged barbarian warriors or those wizards, they are obviously bearers of different powers under the same system.
However, another question soon came to mind.
In the previous situation, he asked himself, "Why didn't these barbarians kill him? Did they really regard him as a sacrifice to some barbarian god?"
But no matter what the reason is, as long as he is not dead, it means that he still has hope and opportunities.
His eyes passed by, and suddenly, he seemed to see something. Chen Shaojun's eyelids jumped violently as if they were pricked by needles.
"This is--"
At the rear left, not far away, Chen Shaojun suddenly saw an identical iron cage, and further away from the iron cage, there was a second and third one... It was just because of the corners and the angle behind them.
Due to the location and distraction, Chen Shaojun didn't pay attention for the moment.
But that's not the key. The key is that in the nearest iron cage, Chen Shaojun suddenly saw a familiar face.
——The black-armored master of the Lieyang Dynasty.
His body was lying on the ground, limp and motionless, with a pool of blood flowing underneath him. Chen Shaojun's internal and mental strength was limited, and it was not clear for a moment whether he was dead or alive, but obviously, even if he was alive, he was probably
Not far from death either.??
"It's really them."
Chen Shaojun's eyelids twitched, and his expression gradually became solemn. There was no doubt that the scream they heard in the wild forest belonged to these two people. He was not the only one who was attacked by the barbarians. Apparently, there were also
There are many other masters.
Chen Shaojun turned his eyes, and sure enough, in another cage not far away, Chen Shaojun saw the second black-armored master from the Lieyang Dynasty. The latter was also dying, and their hands and feet were tied up like himself.
, there are also some witchcraft charms like tattoos on his body.
But when Chen Shaojun's eyes fell on their torsos, his heart couldn't help but beat violently.
"This is--"
On their waists, torsos, and legs, Chen Shaojun suddenly saw thick tree roots. These tree roots branched out like hyphae, which directly penetrated into their bodies, as well as their bones, flesh and blood.
They are connected as one, and if you listen carefully, you can even hear faint sucking sounds, as if the roots of those strange trees are absorbing their life essence.
"What is this?"
Chen Shaojun's eyes widened suddenly. At this moment, Chen Shaojun trembled suddenly and almost at the same time felt a sharp pain like acupuncture coming from his back and calf.
A flash of lightning flashed through his mind. Chen Shaojun was shocked and seemed to understand something.
"Could it be that……"
There is obviously no need for barbarians to favor one person against another. If there is no accident, his back, legs and feet are likely to be entangled with such weird tree roots.
"I have already bitten off some for you, but this kind of thing is extremely tough, even stronger than steel wire. I can only bite off part of it for you, but I cannot cut off all the roots. But I observed you carefully when you were unconscious.
Yes, these things can only absorb part of your strength and are not fatal."
Xiaowo said aside.
It had a mind-to-heart connection with Chen Shaojun and could communicate directly through mental power. During the period when Chen Shaojun was unconscious, it relied on its own invisibility to explore almost all of the barbarian tribe.
Chen Shaojun was about to speak, but at this moment, a strange wave came from the top of his head. At the same time, Chen Shaojun heard sounds like trembling branches in his ears. The sound also came from the top of his head.
And the distance is very close.
The strangest thing is that although it sounds like the trembling of branches, the sound is completely different from the trembling of branches that Chen Shaojun has heard.
Almost subconsciously, Chen Shaojun raised his head out of nowhere and looked above his head. It was midnight, and the sky was dark. At first, Chen Shaojun didn't feel anything strange, and then the next moment——
"Buzz!"
Chen Shaojun's pupils shrank suddenly as if they were pricked by needles. At the same time, like a strong wind passing by, Chen Shaojun's heart suddenly stirred up waves.
"This is--"
This is the most shocking scene that Chen Shaojun has seen since his journey from the capital, and it is also the most incredible scene.
Just above his head, in the darkness, Chen Shaojun saw an unimaginably huge tree. When Chen Shaojun looked up, he only saw part of its outline, perhaps less than three meters taller than the tree.
One-third of the volume.
However, just this part that Chen Shaojun saw was enough to eclipse any huge ironwood that Chen Shaojun had seen before in the wild forest. The difference between the two is like a sapling that has just sprouted and a sapling that has just sprouted.
Like an ancient tree that is hundreds of years old.
In front of this huge ancient tree, even Chen Shaojun felt an incomparable feeling of insignificance.
This huge tree is at least tens of thousands of years old. It has penetrated time and the rolling torrent of time. Compared with it, human life is just a speck of dust, and in this tree
It contains such huge vitality that even the prehistoric beasts are insignificant.
Not only that, unlike all trees in the human world, this giant tree is translucent, like glass in the night, and emits light like the bright moon.
At first glance, Chen Shaojun almost thought it was the stars falling from the sky. It was his own illusion - his current strength was greatly limited. However, soon, Chen Shaojun saw the clear outlines and lines of the trees.
Its trunk is extremely straight, a form of great tension, holding up the sky, stretching toward the depths of the sky.
Its entire body was emitting light, which was a kind of power that made people feel peaceful and soothing. And further up, Chen Shaojun saw tree trunk branches that were also like glass. Those translucent branches were also in the night sky.
It exudes luster and stretches out like an umbrella, with each branch pointing in a completely different direction.
And the most bizarre thing is that the trunk of this giant tree extends all the way up. The higher it goes, the trunk gradually becomes thinner and shows signs of constriction. Its branches are more and more, and they stretch farther and farther.
It is getting longer and longer, but what is surprising is that Chen Shaojun did not see its crown. Its branches and leaves do not seem to stretch towards the void, but possess some kind of strange magic power, extending directly to the depths of time and space.
As for the ends of these branches, they are all hidden.
All the branches and trunks were shining brightly in the night, and were changing rhythmically according to a certain unique rhythm. Chen Shaojun had felt that strange wave before, which was emanating from this giant tree.
Yes, when Chen Shaojun raised his head, he could even tell that with this strange, glass-like giant tree as the center, the invisible fluctuations turned into ripples visible to the naked eye, and continued to spread towards the surroundings.
.
"What is this?"
Chen Shaojun looked up and murmured to himself.
This was the first time he encountered such a unique thing. This huge tree seemed to blend into the entire time and space.
More than that, Chen Shaojun vaguely felt that there was something else hidden at the end of the branch of the tree, that is, its crown. However, his current internal and spiritual power was sealed and his strength was limited. He could not tell it for a while.
come out.
"This is the sacred tree of these barbarians."
The familiar voice of Xiaowei came from the ear, and at some point it squatted on Chen Shaojun's shoulder. It also raised its head and followed Chen Shaojun to look up at this strange giant tree.
However, unlike Chen Shaojun, it was obvious that Xiaowo had already visited this place during the period when Chen Shaojun was unconscious. It had seen the giant tree above Chen Shaojun's head more than once before.
"Holy tree? Could it be that this thing is similar to the ghost holy tree we encountered in the ghost realm?"
Chen Shaojun's eyes flashed, as if he had thought of something, and he immediately understood it.
"Yeah, but it's different from the ghost clan's holy tree. When you were unconscious before, I saw several waves of wizards and barbarians worshiping this big tree, including the wizard who captured you. And if you look carefully,
There are many powerful barbarian masters guarding this place, so it is not easy for outsiders to approach."
Small wormhole.
Chen Shaojun said nothing, thinking deeply in his heart.
In the Three Realms, there are actually many sacred trees originating from ancient times. Not only the ghosts and barbarians, but also the human world and the fairy world have some such trees. Chen Shaojun has heard that there is a unique Dawen tree in the Dawen Kingdom.
, which is the foundation of the country of Dawen, and is inextricably related to Confucianism and Taoism, but Chen Shaojun has never had the chance to meet it.
In addition, it is said that there is a holy tree belonging to the fairy world in the fairy world. Its level should be higher than the barbarian holy tree that I saw now and the ghost holy tree that I encountered before. However, according to Master Beidou Xianzun,
The sacred tree in the fairy world became extinct due to various reasons long before ancient times.
