When Li Xuan and Xia Ruixue saw this small tree, their breathing became hot.
"That's the Netherworld Tree, right?"
Li Xuan said.
"That must be it. It is said that the Netherworld Tree can only grow one centimeter a year. This tree looks to be over a hundred years old!"
Xia Ruixue said.
"There are exactly two branches, how about one for each person?"
Li Xuan said again.
Xia Ruixue was silent for a few seconds: "Are you sure we can get it?"
"Just try and you will find out!"
Li Xuan said and walked down the mountain eager to try.
Xia Ruixue hesitated for a moment and then followed.
Even she didn't know why, but she became bolder when she was with Li Xuan.
They went down the mountain very quickly. In less than twenty minutes, they had passed through the land mixed with gravel, wood chips and mud, and arrived at a place twenty meters away from the Netherworld Tree.
Taking another step forward, there is an intact area with the Netherworld tree as the center. Looking at the Netherworld tree at close range, Li Xuan can sense a silent and suppressed power buried in the trunk. It seems that as long as the tree is pulled out,
You can see the netherworld hidden under the tree! The two branches of the netherworld tree are the so-called netherworld trees. Their thickness and length are suitable for use as weapons. Of course, they are suitable for all weapons because they are tougher than steel.
And toughness, as well as the best spiritual power conductivity and ductility! Such a perfect top-grade material is less than twenty steps away, and it seems that you can reach it in your hand.
Li Xuan just stood in the distance, took a deep breath and said, "I won't move unless you come out, so there's no need to wait."
His voice floated across the ground, and Xia Ruixue immediately looked around cautiously.
After a few seconds of silence, a dark quagmire not far away suddenly started churning. After a bunch of bubbles popped out, a huge head emerged from it.
"Crash..." The mud rolled down from the huge head, revealing an extremely ferocious dog face.
This is not over yet, the quagmire continues to bubble, and the second and third dog faces emerge one after another. The three dog faces coexist on a huge body, and six blood-red eyes look over.
The cold and cruel eyes made Xia Ruixue couldn't help but shudder.
It turned out to be the legendary terrifying monster in charge of human life and death - the three-headed vicious dog.
This is really a huge monster. Just one dog leg is as tall as Li Xuan. The three dog heads are about the same size. The three heads are like three small hills, rising high above the huge body.
The fur of the three-headed vicious dogs is black, and light is faintly reflected on it. It turns out that there are pieces of armor-like scales under their fur.
"Aww..." The middle head of the three-headed vicious dog stared at the two of them, spit out its bright red tongue, exposed its sharp canine teeth, and let out a cry at them that didn't sound like a dog bark but more like a wolf howl.
However, it neither attacked nor spoke, but looked into the distance.
There was a sound of the earth cracking behind them. Li Xuan and Xia Ruixue looked back. The ground was forcibly pushed open by some powerful force, and another monster quickly appeared in their eyes.
This was a big black snake, covered with thick mucus like phlegm, crawling out of the ground.
Its body is as long as a three-headed evil dog. Its body is coiled up, and the two triangular eyes on the huge snake head are shining with scarlet light. The snake letter in its mouth is spitting out, and it makes a strange "Jie Jie" sound.
laughter.
What's even more terrifying is that the scales on this big snake rubbed against the ground, making the sound of gold and iron clashing. Wherever the scales touched, the stones were crushed directly into powder! Only then did Li Xuan see the big snake's body.
The body is covered with scales that stand upright. If they are shaken, even a mountain can be flattened.
No wonder the nearby land was in a mess, it seemed that it was all caused by this snake! Two such terrifying monsters surrounded Li Xuan and Xia Ruixue one after another.
Xia Ruixue stayed close to Li Xuan, regretting running down.
Li Xuan, on the other hand, was calm and calm. He glanced at the three evil dogs and then at the big black snake. It didn't look like he was facing two scary monsters, but like he met two cute little squirrels in his garden.
At this time, the middle head of the three-headed vicious dog spoke human words.
"It's actually a human... It's really nostalgic. We haven't seen humans for a hundred years, right?"
It said hoarsely.
"I thought some powerful guy was coming... It's so boring."
The left head of the three-headed evil dog glanced disdainfully at Li Xuan and yawned.
The head on the right side didn't speak, simply closed his eyes, and immediately started snoring.
Only the middle head was left. It looked at the two of them with interest, opened its mouth and said, "Human, are you responsible for the movement on the other side of the mountain?
Who are you, what plane do you come from, please tell me who is the most powerful demon cultivator in the world right now?"
Li Xuan and Xia Ruixue looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
The Five-wheel Peak Realm is extremely vast. It is said that outside the continent where the Yunteng Empire is located, across the vast ocean, there is another continent. It is not a country of humans, but is ruled by half-demon.
It is called the Half Demon Continent.
Half-demon can also practice cultivation, and the monks among them call themselves demon cultivators.
The three-headed evil dogs are talking about demon cultivators. Could it be that this plane comes from the semi-demon continent?
Li Xuan's knowledge of the Half-Demon Continent only came from a few old books in Kuixing Castle, but Xia Ruixue knew more.
In the past few years, it was popular in the imperial capital to raise half-demon girls. They looked similar to humans. They had sweet body fragrance, sparkling jewel-like eyes, and delicate and smooth skin. Some girls also had furry hair.
Ears and tail.
Xia Ruixue saw a half-demon girl during several banquets held by nobles.
They followed the nobles pitifully. Sometimes they were charming and cute, and sometimes they performed some coquettish dances with great effort.
Whoever has a few well-trained half-demon girls is something to be envied.
There were also sweet fruits, which impressed Xia Ruixue more deeply than the half-demon girl.
One of the most delicious fruits is called "green melon", which is a unique fruit that cannot be seen in Yunteng Empire.
It is as big as a human head, with red flesh hidden in the thick green skin, which is sweet and juicy.
Several times during the hottest days of summer, nobles offered green melons as the most precious tribute to the Queen Mother. Xia Ruixue ate them several times. It was indeed the best fruit to relieve summer heat and quench thirst.
I heard that green melons, like other rare melons and fruits, were transported by slave traders from the other side of the distant sea on large ships.
In order to avoid rotting and deterioration, fruits and melons must be stored in cabins blessed with ice talisman arrays, and the voyage can take months or even years to cross the ocean.
Perhaps they are common objects that can be seen everywhere in the Half-demon Continent, but once they cross the ocean, their value immediately doubles.
A green melon the size of a human head costs thousands of taels of silver, and only the most luxurious nobles can afford it.
Girls and fruits are Xia Ruixue's only impression of the Half-demon Continent. Even if the imperial princess is like this, Li Xuan doesn't know much about it.
