Volume IV, Chapter 27 [The Dryad who was simply deceived]
Volume 4, Chapter 27 [The tree demon who was simply deceived]
"Senior, is this demon tree really so powerful that even you can't deal with it?" Wang Rui asked.
Lieyang Zhenjun sighed and replied: "If this was Pindao's peak period, then of course it wouldn't matter, but now Pindao's cultivation level has fallen, and he can only exert the strength of the Nascent Soul for a quarter of an hour at most, and the demon tree has already
The power that has absorbed most of my soul is now comparable to that of a Yuanying monk, I'm afraid..."
"I understand, as long as we leave this place, the demon tree will not be able to leave this cave, right?" Wang Rui asked again.
Lieyang Zhenjun immediately replied: "Of course, the root of this demon tree lies in this cave. If it wants to leave here, it must survive a catastrophe before it can truly become a saint. These demons originally came from Xiwu Continent, and they were also captured by
I brought them back from Xiwu Continent. Unexpectedly, they lost their mortal bodies because they absorbed my soul. However, although their lifespan is far longer than that of humans like us, their cultivation is extremely difficult. It is even more difficult to survive the catastrophe.
, so don’t worry about that.”
"That's good, as long as my companions can leave here, let me play with this demon tree." Wang Rui was determined and seemed confident to leave here. Although True Lord Lieyang didn't quite understand,
But seeing that the other party was so insistent, he had no choice but to remain silent. He sincerely hoped that the young man who asked him to hand over his life and soul was not that arrogant, otherwise he would take it at all costs, even if he died together.
The tree demon finally came to Wang Rui. It had no interest in other humans, but Wang Rui was what it wanted.
"Mortal, you have something I want hidden in you. If you hand it over, I can consider letting you live." The tree demon is very similar to the big tree in Lieyang Zhenjun's illusion, or it may be the same object.
Wang Rui pinched his lower half, in a contemplative state, and said to himself: "Hmm...it seems to be a good deal...but the conditions you gave are not generous enough, I don't think it will work..."
Anyway, it was just stalling for time. Wang Rui wished that the demon tree in front of him would talk trash to him.
Lord Lieyang who resided in his body was frightened to death, thinking that Wang Rui was really interested in exchange.
However, as a Yuanying monk, how could he be so impatient? Thinking of this, he still endured it.
Although the demon tree has survived much longer than Wang Rui, when it comes to experience and scheming, it is far inferior.
It didn't understand it at once, thinking that Wang Rui was really negotiating with it. The soul of Lord Lieyang was what it longed for, and it was a little worried that if Wang Rui, a human monk, resisted desperately and the soul was damaged, it would lose more than it gained.
, so it is willing to pay a certain price in exchange for it.
"Mortal, his soul is of no use to you. If you are willing to hand it over, I can exchange it with you for a heart of ice spirit." The tree demon gave the conditions.
Wang Rui asked in confusion: "What is the heart of the ice spirit?"
The dryad patiently replied: "The heart of the ice spirit is naturally conceived and has taken millions of years to form. It is extremely precious."
"Can I take a look?" Wang Rui rolled his eyes, feeling that this tree demon seemed a bit silly and he might be able to trick him once.
The dryad didn't hesitate, and opened its mouth to spit out a bit of cold light.
Wang Rui was worried that it was waiting for an opportunity to attack, so he immediately deployed a protective barrier and threw a protective amulet at the same time.
However, it was obvious that he was overly worried. The tree demon did not make any sneak attacks, but sent the Ice Spirit Heart directly in front of him.

.
Wang Rui was stunned for a moment and asked True Lord Lieyang: "Senior, could this tree demon be deceitful?"
"It can't deceive you. Even though it has lived for hundreds of millions of years, according to Pindao's understanding, it is equivalent to the teenage years of a mortal. In addition, it has stayed in this cave for a long time and has never gone out to see the world, so it is purely
Very." Lieyang Zhenjun couldn't help complaining.
Wang Rui coughed awkwardly, then removed the barrier, wrapped his hands with spiritual power, and sucked in the Ice Spirit Heart.
A cold air spread across the air. This Ice Spirit Heart was indeed extraordinary. Just floating in front of him was enough to cause a huge chill.
Wang Rui only admired it for a while and then felt that he couldn't bear it. He was not a practitioner of ice arts, and his physical constitution could not withstand the cold, so it was difficult to resist the ice spirit's heart.
When I was worrying about how to store the Heart of Ice Spirit, I suddenly thought that I still had a lot of fine gold in my storage bag, which could contain all things.
Wang Rui immediately took out the fine gold, smelted a box, and then tried to move the Ice Spirit Heart into it. Sure enough, the fine gold was indeed powerful, and the coldness of the Ice Spirit Heart was greatly alleviated, and it was no longer enough to harm Wang Rui.
Already.
When Wang Rui put the box back into the storage bag, the tree demon didn't say anything after seeing it. In its simple mind, since the transaction was verbally promised, of course it would not go back on it.
Unfortunately, Wang Rui let him down. After taking the things away, he did not hand over the soul of True Lord Lieyang.
Dryad: "???"
Wang Rui: "???"
"Mortal, where is the soul?" the tree demon asked.
"I never said I would give you my soul." Wang Rui spread his hands, looking very honest.
At a speed visible to the naked eye, the tree demon's long tree face turned red, and a burst of anger directly turned into a substantial flame, causing the temperature of the surrounding air to rise suddenly.
"You - dare to deceive me?" The tree demon couldn't understand why humans were so despicable. They clearly took their own things but didn't fulfill their promises, which made him very hurt.
Wang Rui immediately summoned the sword light, changed the magic talisman on his leg to two more, and started to swim quickly.
"Your Excellency, please calm down. This Yuan Soul belongs to the Nascent Soul cultivator and is extremely precious. You want to exchange it with a heart of ice spirit. How can I agree?" Wang Rui replied plausibly, not feeling ashamed at all.
Lie Yang Zhenjun blushed a little for Wang Rui when he heard this, and couldn't help complaining: "Today I have gained a lot of experience. My fellow Taoist's shamelessness can be regarded as a masterpiece. I feel inferior to this poor Taoist."
"Senior, don't make sarcastic remarks on the sidelines. If I get eaten by a tree demon, wouldn't senior also be dead?" Wang Rui reminded.
True Lord Lieyang had no choice but to keep silent and stay under the roof of others. How could he not bow his head?
The tree demon was extremely angry and took root directly on the ground, then spread, and the entire surrounding cave suddenly turned into a forest-like terrain.
The tentacles of branches and leaves ejected again, this time the tentacles were several times more powerful than those seen before.
Wang Rui used Thunder Sword and Sword Qi Rushuang, which exploded with huge power. At the same time, the thunder wave generated paralyzed the tentacles attacking him. However, there were too many of these tentacles, and their regeneration speed was even more amazing. No matter how Wang Rui killed him,
, can continuously recover in a short period of time, and then attack desperately.
This cave space is almost controlled by tentacles, Wang Rui can dodge
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The space was getting less and less, and the terrain here restricted him from summoning Qingliu Wings, so the magic runes were consumed very quickly. Fortunately, Wang Rui had a lot of reserves and was able to withstand this wave of consumption.
Tentacles filled the sky, and at the same time, a scent of flowers spread out from nowhere.
"Be careful, fellow Taoist, if you smell this fragrance too much, you will have hallucinations. Ordinary barrier protection cannot stop it, unless there is a magic weapon to resist it. Unfortunately, you are only a foundation-building monk." Lieyang Zhenjun reminded.
Wang Rui snorted depressedly, and then simply used his spiritual power to seal his mouth and nose, not to breathe for the time being. At the same time, the pores all over his body were closed to prevent the fragrance from entering through the pores.
Seeing that Wang Rui was still very active, the tree demon's huge body trembled, and suddenly a lot of seeds-like things were sprinkled from its crown.
Soon, after these seeds fell into the ground, they grew in the wind and soon turned into smaller tree men. The heads of these tree men bloomed, and then a human-sized monk emerged.
These monks wear robes made of tree bark. They are men, women, old and young. They are simply a tribe of tree people.
They seemed to be like human monks, sitting cross-legged on the ground, stretching out their arms, and shooting out a series of magical light.
These spiritual lights began to form a formation-like pattern, covering the space.
"Incredible, this tree demon actually absorbed the cultivation method in Pindao's memory and passed it on to his descendants, making them become like us human monks. The magic circle they set up now is exactly the clue in Pindao's memory.
Soul Formation, once this formation is activated, you... can't escape with your wings, so why are you still entangled with it here? You can leave." Zhenjun Lieyang reminded.
Wang Rui did not agree. He would not evacuate in advance before receiving news of the safe evacuation of Chen Qi and others. Only with him standing here could others have the chance to truly leave the cave.
Whoosh!
A loud voice came, and Wang Rui suddenly felt happy and looked above his head.
At this time, a transmission note flew towards Wang Rui. He immediately stepped on the body of a tree man, jumped up high, and took the transmission note before the tree people could snatch it.
"Brother Rui, we have found the exit. You should evacuate quickly. Don't miss it." It was Chen Qi's telegraph. It seemed that the four of them were no longer in danger.
The transmission note burned, and Wang Rui ejected it into a tree man, and then penetrated through it, causing the tree man to scream and hit his companions. The tree man monks who arranged the formation above were also confused for a while.
The formation that was to be set up was delayed for a while.
It was at this moment that Wang Rui retreated.
However, the tree demon would not let him go. When he opened his mouth and roared, a wave of sound turned into a hurricane. Wang Rui was directly swept up by the hurricane, and he was completely dizzy.
"Fellow Taoist, you can't continue like this. It's better to let Pindao control your body." Zhenjun Lieyang said anxiously.
"No need." Wang Rui refused and released five thunder balls, which merged into one thunder ball and began to detonate. At the same time, he used the air-returning technique.
A powerful force of attraction came and directly pulled Wang Rui out of the area. The tree demon stretched its arms desperately, and the soul-seeking formation also began to exert its power, emitting an astonishing blood light, but it was still a step too late. At the same time, Lei
The ball exploded, setting off a huge spiritual storm, tearing apart the surrounding area...
