This sudden sound came from the ancient tree in front of Zichen.
Hearing this voice, his expression changed, he grasped the long knife in his hand, and said coldly: "Come out!"
"Don't get me wrong, I mean no harm." A voice came from the ancient tree again.
"You don't have any malice, are you hiding inside?" Zi Chen's expression was cold and stern, and the yin and yang light on his body flashed. He had not noticed anyone inside before.
The clone had killed all the fifth-level heavenly clans, and did not continue to collect loot at this time. He turned back and stared at the ancient tree, with the divine needle floating beside him.
"It's not hiding, I am here."
The voice in the ancient tree sounded again, and a ray of light appeared from it, turning into a face that could not be seen clearly.
"Are you here?" Zi Chen looked at the other party with an increasingly vigilant expression.
"I am the tree spirit here, and I have always been here." The human face said.
"I have killed many ancient trees, but why have I never seen the tree spirit? What is your relationship with those moving lights and shadows?" Zi Chen asked coldly, never letting down his guard.
"You should be talking about the spiritual shadow, right?" The human face said: "I am different from them, I can't move."
"Oh?" Zi Chen frowned.
The lights and shadows he encountered before were all able to change quickly with the help of other ancient trees, but the other party did not move.
But thinking about it, it seems like this. If the other party can move, he probably won't show up and will definitely leave on his own. There is no need to answer the call before.
"What kind of existence are you?" Zi Chen asked.
"I'm a hapless loser." Human Face said, his voice becoming lower.
"What do you mean?" Zi Chen asked in confusion.
"I am a king who was born to fail." Human Face continued.
This ancient tree is extremely huge. Although it cannot be compared with the King of Ancient Trees, it is still much larger than ordinary ancient trees.
The amount of information in the king who was born to fail is really too great.
Wuying collected the other corpses and returned to Zichen's world. Although he broke through the realm with his true body, it took him some time to adapt.
"What's the meaning?"
"I was born different from other ancient trees. I have spiritual intelligence and know my future achievements. However, there can only be one king in this forest, so I was discovered by them and then erased by them. My
I was lucky. After death, my spiritual wisdom was not dissipated, and it was slowly condensed again, and I have been hiding here since then, not daring to be exposed."
It looked at Zi Chen and said: "I know you have seen the king, and you have the aura of the king."
"Are you talking about the fruit breath? I have refined the fruit of the ancient tree king." Zi Chen asked.
"It is the breath of the fruit that can attract those spiritual shadows. The reason why you came to the periphery is that you met the spiritual shadows, right?" said the man-face.
Zi Chen said: "I don't know if they are spiritual shadows. In short, they cannot be killed. They can teleport with the help of other ancient trees."
The human face said: "That's what I call the spiritual shadow. This space has been opened once before. You should come from the outside world, and last time the forest will disappeared, I guess you have all gone to the king and got the fruit. Then
It is the king's conspiracy, just to let the light and shadow find your location and kill you. The energy in your body is the king's greatest nourishment and can help it advance."
What the other party said was almost exactly the same as what Zi Chen guessed, but the only difference was that he didn't know that the king would advance.
"Why are you telling me this?" Zi Chen looked at the other party.
"I want to cooperate with you." Human Face said.
"How to cooperate?" Zi Chen asked.
"I'll help you kill the spirit shadow, you help me kill the king, and help me control this forest."
"Doing this doesn't seem to make much sense to me, right? As long as I clear a place, those spiritual shadows can't threaten me. As for the king, I have no intention of becoming an enemy of him." Zi Chen said directly.
"Even if you don't kill it, it will kill you. You can't be safe here. The most important thing is that if the king doesn't die, you will never be able to leave here."
Human Face said: "You have always been against each other. Even without me, you are still enemies. As for those spiritual shadows, it is true that they can't do anything to you, but you may not know the value of the spiritual shadows. If you kill them, they will
Become a fruit. Just as your energy is useful to the King, the fruit produced by the King’s energy is also useful to you.”
Zi Chen's expression changed.
Human Face continued: "If you refine me, it will be of some help to you, but due to strength, this help will be minimal. If we cooperate, I can help you kill those spiritual shadows, and your gains will definitely be greater than
I get more through refining."
"Is this why you chose to show up?" Zi Chen asked.
"Yes, I have been paying attention to you from the moment you arrived. This is also my only chance, because a new erasure is coming. And because of the massive loss of vitality before, I am not sure that I can succeed this time.
We can no longer avoid threats, so we have no choice but to fight."
What the other party said was very sincere and well-founded. This cooperation is also a win-win situation for both parties.
Regardless of whether there is a tree spirit or not, Zi Chen will eventually fight his way into the depths, kill the king and take away all the fruits.
Now that he has an ally, it is of course the best. Moreover, this ally can also help him kill the spiritual shadow and obtain the fruit for cultivation.
The reason why he was able to reach level four in such a short period of time was largely due to the more than twenty fruits.
Zi Chen didn't hesitate too much and nodded in agreement.
"What do I need to do before this?"
Now that we have talked about a lot of benefits to him, it is naturally time to talk about what he should pay.
"You need to protect me from being killed by the spirit shadow."
Human Face said: "I can only kill them one by one. If there are two spiritual shadows, there is nothing I can do. If there are more, I will only die."
"They are all invisible and I can't catch them at all." Zi Chen said helplessly.
"That's true for one, but I can deal with one. If there are too many, they will appear on their own and will not hide in an ancient tree."
The human face said: "As long as they reveal their true form, I hope you can kill them."
Zi Chen's heart moved and he said, "Do you think this is okay?"
He waved his hand, and eight sword ancestral tablets appeared, surrounding this bare ancient tree.
Immediately afterwards, Zi Chen activated the Sword Domain, and the human face hidden in the ancient tree felt an extremely strong pressure.
"What is this?" it asked nervously.
"One of my domain methods will cause you to be trapped and unable to escape as long as you are in it." Zi Chen said: "However, its activation is relatively slow, and all eight pieces must be revealed."
In fact, the activation speed of the Sword Domain is not slow, and it is easy to trap a human being, but the speed of those spiritual shadows is close to teleportation, which is relatively much slower.
"This will definitely not work, because they are very vigilant and will flee immediately when they see that the situation is bad," the tree spirit said.
Zi Chen said helplessly: "Then I have no other choice."
"If you can hide them, I believe you can trap those spiritual shadows." The tree spirit suggested.
"hide?"
Zi Chen was startled when he heard that there was a will of the forest here, and he was not an formation master, so he didn't understand the concealment method at all.
Suddenly, he looked up at the sky. The sun was shining down on his head. This place was already on the outskirts. Where was the will of the forest?
"I'll try."
Knowing his situation, Zi Chen opened his mouth and opened the world, only to see the power of rules falling down one after another.
The power of these rules fell on the eight stone tablets, and the next moment the space where the stone tablets were located began to distort, and then disappeared.
After the eight sword ancestral tablets disappeared, the sword domain launched by Zi Chen was naturally cancelled.
"How?" he said, looking at the tree spirit.
"I can no longer sense their existence, so there should be no problem." The tree spirit said.
…
…
The strong men who are still alive now all know the existence of the spiritual shadows, and these spiritual shadows are silent and cannot be killed at all, so they come together to the outer areas.
During this period, those spiritual shadows were also following them, and their numbers were getting larger and larger. Just as those strong humans began to team up, they also began to move forward in teams, and their lethality became more powerful.
Zi Chen was waiting outside, while Wuying went out to investigate. Although he had formed an alliance with the tree spirit, Zi Chen still had some worries in his heart, that is, what should he do if he meets other people?
Just like the previous Celestial Clan, he is now considered a piece of cake in the eyes of others, and everyone who sees him wants to get close to him.
What gave him a little peace of mind was that there was finally no forest will here, and his world could be fully revealed. This was also his greatest reliance.
Time passed, and Wuying returned from his trip, informing him that many strong men had come to the outside world, and it wouldn't be long before someone could reach his direction.
He couldn't give up the tree spirit, so he had to deal with it.
Fortunately, Wuying told another good news, that is, there is a spiritual shadow nearby, and it should be here soon.
Zi Chen was sitting cross-legged next to the withered ancient tree, refining the heart of the tree. Wuying was on guard for him. As for the previous tree spirit, he had gone into hiding again.
A spiritual shadow appeared in the distance. It appeared from the withered ancient tree, and Zi Chen here was visible at a glance.
It disappeared from the front and then appeared behind Zi Chen.
At this moment, the tree spirit appeared above the tree.
On top of a tree, two human faces appeared.
The human face belonging to Lingying was trembling at the moment.
At Wuying's reminder, Zichen opened his eyes, stood up and looked behind him, and finally saw the so-called spiritual shadow.
The spirit shadow was fighting against the tree spirit, looking very painful.
However, at this moment, this world that had never seen night suddenly turned dark, and night fell suddenly.
