Yun Que was surprised by the news told by Zhou Yuanliang.
Mu Qingyao actually has supernatural spiritual roots!
Moreover, it is an extremely rare plant-like spiritual root among the supernatural spiritual roots, which is called flower spiritual root.
Flower Spirit Root has an innate keen sense of the scent of flowers and plants, and can easily track the whereabouts of Spirit Flower Spirit Grass in dangerous places, and is also excellent at taking elixirs.
For the same elixir, the effect of taking one pill of Hualinggen is equivalent to taking two, three or even more pills for others!
After all, most of the materials for alchemy are various spiritual flowers and spiritual grasses, which have a natural blessing effect on the spiritual roots of flowers.
Strange spiritual roots are not a strange thing in the spiritual world.
For example, the Leilinggen disciples who have just joined the Sword Palace are a type of foreign spiritual root. Many sects will have several disciples of the foreign spiritual root more or less.
But Hualinggen is definitely rare.
It is equivalent to the most powerful tracking weapon and can be called a harvester of spiritual materials!
No wonder Zhou Yuanliang once vowed that this trip to Wushan would definitely be fruitful. It turned out that Hua Linggen was leading the team.
After learning about Mu Qingyao's supernatural spiritual roots, Yun Que's heart suddenly sank.
He glanced at Luo Xiaoyu, who was busy cutting bark, and then at Mu Qingyao, who was standing in the distance with a flying sword hanging behind his back.
At this moment, Yun Que felt that his scalp was starting to feel numb!
A huge sense of crisis arose in his heart.
Luo Xiaoyu's physique is disgusted by the vines, and Mu Qingyao is most likely the existence that the vines covet!
Otherwise, when Mu Qingyao led the team to climb the mountain, why would the vines drag her into the ground and trap her to death at the mountainside regardless of the cost.
Completely opposite to Luo Xiaoyu, the weird vines in Wushan are eager to devour Mu Qingyao!
In other words, the vines want to swallow the flower spirit roots!
Yun Que suddenly rushed out, took a few steps to Mu Qingyao, grabbed her arm and backed away quickly.
Mu Qingyao wanted to throw away Yun Que's hand, but it was unethical to see so many people watching. When she saw the other party's solemn expression, she immediately knew that the situation was serious and stepped back in cooperation.
There is no need to explain, the two of them have a clear understanding of each other at this moment.
Just after exiting about ten feet away, the earth and rocks on the spot suddenly cracked open, and a large group of green vines spurted out from the ground!
The vines that suddenly rushed out created a wave of air, blowing away the thick fog around them.
Then in front of people, this piece of green vines entwined and closed together to form a green tree more than three feet high!
The tree crown is lush and green, like a big umbrella, covering a large open space.
There are two people hugging each other on the tree trunk.
Roots like straws extended out from the bark of the tree, connecting humanoid or animal-like corpses, constantly twisting and squirming.
Those are its prey,
Just like the flying insects on the spider web, some only have a skin left, and some still have some flesh and blood left, which makes people sick to see them.
Buzz…
All the leaves on the green trees trembled at the same time, making a strange sound like a whistling wind, which made people's eardrums hurt.
Wu Dachuan directly covered his head, and his puppy Wangcai also held his head and shivered.
Although Zhou Yuanliang and Luo Xiaoyu were still standing, their legs and stomachs were trembling and their faces were as pale as paper.
That is the sense of oppression brought by powerful alien beasts.
Deterrence from natural enemies.
Demonic pressure!
"Tree demon..."
Yun Que whispered in a deep voice, his pupils like needles.
He guessed it right.
There is indeed a powerful grass and tree spirit monster in the foggy mountain. All the treasures of heaven and earth are bait for the tree monster, trapping and killing the monks and monster beasts that are attracted to it!
"At least at the third level." Mu Qingyao said with great solemnity.
In addition to the Qi Refining Realm, which only corresponds to first-level monsters, the three smaller realms of the Foundation Establishment Realm, the front, middle and back, respectively correspond to second-, third- and fourth-level monsters.
Although dryads are plant-based monsters, they are also suitable for the level of monsters.
The threat of a level three tree demon is equivalent to that of a monk in the middle stage of foundation building!
Among those present, only Mu Qingyao had the highest cultivation level, but he was still in the Qi Refining Realm. Facing the tree demon that had reached the third level, they had no chance of winning even if they tried their best.
Mu Qingyao quickly glanced at the dozen or so trees left around, urged Feijian and said decisively:
"You save people, I'll hold off the tree demon."
At this time, Luo Xiaoyu no longer needed to chop down the tree alone. The tree demon had already awakened, and he no longer had to worry about being discovered.
Yun Que did not let go and continued to pull Mu Qingyao back in one direction.
"Lead it away."
Yun Que only said three words, and Mu Qingyao immediately understood.
She now also guessed that the target of the tree demon was herself, and followed Yun Que as he scurried down the mountain.
really,
As soon as the two escaped, the tree demon paid no attention to Zhou Yuanliang, Wu Dachuan and the others, turned over the earth and rocks, and chased after dragging the prey all over the ground.
Only a deep trench was left in the ground.
When the tree demon disappeared into the heavy fog in the distance, Zhou Yuanliang and others woke up as if from a dream.
"Let's run for our lives quickly!" Wu Dachuan said in shock.
"Save people first, let's do it together!" Zhou Yuanliang was still calm and hurriedly started cutting down trees to save people.
The tree demon was lured away, and the others had no worries about cutting down the trees. There would be no vine attacks for a while.
Strange trees were chopped down one after another, and the disciples of the South Campus wrapped in them appeared one after another. Most of them were female disciples, most of them were still alive, and a few of them had lost their breath.
The ones who died were the disciples with lower cultivation levels. They could not persist to the end.
Zhou Yuanliang squatted next to a corpse and slowly closed the corpse's eyes.
She was a young female disciple with green eyebrows and some baby fat on her face. She looked very cute, but without any vitality.
At this moment, Zhou Yuanliang's face showed no trace of dissoluteness, and was frighteningly gloomy.
He pinched his knuckles until they turned white and hammered them hard against the ground.
The corpse in front of him was the liveliest little junior sister in the south courtyard. Zhou Yuanliang liked to tease her a little bit when nothing happened, and then the other party would shyly run away.
Now, that shy junior sister will never come back.
Heaven and man are separated.
"It's cold in the mountains, senior brother will take you home."
Zhou Yuanliang picked up the cold corpse and walked down the mountain. His back was deserted. A group of surviving disciples from the South Campus supported each other and followed behind.
During this trip to Wushan, the South Hospital suffered heavy casualties.
The other side of the mountain.
Yun Que and Mu Qingyao sometimes ran and sometimes wielded swords at very fast speeds.
Behind the two of them, the tree demon was chasing after them, and the distance between them kept getting closer.
Although this tree demon has no arms and legs, it can move at an amazing speed, and it is about to catch up!
At this time, we were passing through a flat area with a rock on the ground.
Yun Que and Mu Qingyao suddenly turned around and avoided the rock.
The chasing tree demon had no time to turn and rushed directly from the rock.
With a crackling sound, the tree demon's roots were carved with deep grooves by the nine flying swords left here in advance, and green sap splashed all over the ground.
Due to its speed, all nine flying swords were embedded in the tree demon's body.
There was a loud squeaking sound!
The dryad was in pain and twisted its body randomly, trying to throw the flying sword away.
It will definitely not be comfortable with so many sharp knives inserted into it.
Take advantage now!
Yun Que and Mu Qingyao turned from defense to offense and attacked together.
Mu Qingyao's flower spirit sword turned into a dazzling sword light, instantly cutting more than a dozen gaps in the tree crown, and large branches fell off.
Yun Que took out his magic weapon, the Snake Sword, and rushed forward to slash the tree trunk, causing bark and vine leaves to fly all over the sky.
Now was not the time to hold back. The two of them used all their strength to severely injure the tree demon with the help of the trap.
Yun Que took the opportunity to cut down many corpses that had been sucked by the tree demon.
These corpses have one thing in common: there is a black stone the size of a goose egg somewhere.
Similar to the one Zhou Yuanliang was looking for, there were more than twenty pieces.
The stone is formed by condensation of the tree demon's prey. It has been condensed for many years, and it must be worth a lot of money.
Just as they put away the stones, a strong wind suddenly appeared, blowing Yun Que and Mu Qingyao back continuously.
When the two of them stood firm, the tree demon in front of them had already changed form.
From the original tree shape, it gradually twisted and writhed into the shape of a giant hand!
At the same time, a dull roar sounded from the top of the mountain, and a terrifying shadow pushed through the thick fog and appeared in front of Yun Que and Mu Qingyao.
It was a giant tree ten feet high, with eyes the size of lanterns protruding from the trunk. The cracked bark formed a huge eerie mouth, and the emerald green crown covered half of the foggy mountain.
The true form of the tree demon!
It turns out that the so-called tree demon before was just a hand!
