Zheng Nan looked at this huge dragon treasure in shock. The number of treasures in it was simply countless, and the value of some of them was also difficult to measure.
But for Zheng Nan, the most important things here are naturally the beast elixirs of high-level ferocious beasts and the spirit stones containing strange energy. These things can be used as materials for refining elixirs, or they can assist in cultivation.
.As for those sparkling jewels, although they are valuable, they are just mundane things that are of no use. Zheng Nan is not too rare.
Seeing Chongbao in front of him, Zheng Nan didn't get too hot-headed and rushed out recklessly. Intuition and reason told him: Komodo is very likely to be here!
Zheng Nan dived some more to ensure that he would not be discovered, and then began to search around in this mysterious underground world. He first wanted to determine where Komodo was, and at the same time he also wanted to figure out the secret of this mysterious place.
location.
After searching for a long time, Zheng Nan entered a dense forest. These trees were taller than those in the Burial Forest, each one over a hundred meters tall, with lush branches and leaves. Zheng Nan was nearly twenty meters deep underground, but he still kept coming from time to time.
Being blocked by the roots of trees is enough to show the strong vitality of these trees!
But when he arrived here, Zheng Nan felt that there was another stirring in the sea of blood. However, this stirring did not come from the horns, but an unknown thing...
Zheng Nan entered the blood sea and felt that the source of the sprouting was still the eighth area. To be more specific, the sprouting was located in the center of the eighth area, under the ground of the blood sea, buried in the blood-colored soil!
"Why is there anything moving in the soil of this sea of blood?"
Zheng Nan curiously fell into the eighth area and stood on the ground of the sea of blood, looking down. The blood-colored ground, which was originally extremely solid, was shaking very slightly at this moment, as if something was about to break out of the ground below!
"dad……"
While looking at the blood-red ground with all his attention, Zheng Nan was startled by a sudden cry! This cry came from beneath the blood-red ground.
After a while, the blood-colored soil was finally drilled through, and a small green seedling was seen, growing at an extremely exaggerated speed! In just a few breaths, the seedling emerged from scratch and quickly grew.
There are four branches, each with several sparse leaves. At the same time, the height of the small tree is more than half a meter!
"dad……"
Another shout.
The cry this time was clearer than the one just now, confirming that Zheng Nan was not delusional just now. The voice was childish, sounding like a three or four-year-old boy. And the voice was obviously not a real sound wave, but a
A kind of soul fluctuation.
"This little sapling...could this be the sacred tree left behind by Gongsun Yu after his death in the land of death?" Seeing this young and tender sapling, Zheng Nan's heart suddenly shook, and he remembered a past event.
When Gongsun Yu died, he left behind a mysterious black ball. The black ball was originally what was left after the burning of a sacred tree reaching the sky.
The black ball contains two very powerful energies: one is the inherited power of Gongsun Yu’s blood-vengeance goddess, and the other is the essence of the ten thousand-year-old sacred tree!
That time, Zheng Nan followed Xiao Sha's suggestion and put the black ball into the sea of blood, hoping to unleash the power of the sacred tree and grow again in the sea of blood.
Zheng Nan's actions had an effect at that time. After the black ball entered the sea of blood, it immediately took root and sprouted, and grew into a sacred tree seedling! At that time, Zheng Nan still clearly remembered that the sacred tree had also sent out a thought,
Just like today, it’s also a cry-Dad!
Why does this strange little sapling call him "Dad"? Zheng Nan has always been puzzled by this...
However, since then, Zheng Nan has not paid too much attention to the growth of the sacred tree seedlings. After Zheng Nan suffered from inner demons and overcame his karma, the Blood Sea experienced great changes and divided into regions! That earth-shaking event transformed the sacred tree seedlings.
It was directly annihilated. If it hadn't appeared again this time, Zheng Nan would have thought that the sacred tree seedling was dead.
No matter what, Zheng Nan was still in a good mood after seeing the sapling again. He asked with the power of his soul: "Little sapling, what happened to you these days? Why didn't you show up for so long and didn't grow much?"
"Idiot." The little sapling did not answer Zheng Nan, but Xiaosha said coldly. "Although this little sapling is a sacred tree sapling, it is only at the fourth level of spiritual realm, and is far from being able to talk to you."
"Uh... Okay. Then can you answer me?" Zheng Nan said to Xiao Sha, "Idiot: Turn a deaf ear and just ignore it."
"I can't answer, but I can tell you my guess. During this period, this sacred tree seedling should be using the power of the sea of blood to cleanse itself, separating the power of the sacred tree from the evil inheritance power of the blood-vengeful goddess! You can feel it
Although its breath is still very weak, it is full of vitality and very pure!"
Hearing this, Zheng Nan felt it carefully, and sure enough, the sapling exuded a very pure aura, and although the sapling was small, it could still fill the surrounding space with aura and vitality!
"Then why did this little sapling never show its head before, but suddenly emerged today?" Zheng Nan still had questions in his mind and continued to ask.
"You'll know just by looking outside." Xiao Sha replied calmly, and continued to sit cross-legged, closing his eyes and concentrating, and no longer paying attention to Zheng Nan.
"Outside?" Zheng Nan frowned suspiciously, looked at the seedlings again, and exited the sea of blood. He thought to himself: "You will know just by looking outside? What can be outside..."
Before he finished thinking about this thought, Zheng Nan was suddenly stunned: at this moment, he was blocked by a huge plant rhizome, and this rhizome went deep into the ground nearly a hundred meters deep, and was even more than ten meters thick!
"What kind of plant root is this?!" Zheng Nan exclaimed, then raised his head and looked up, the surprise in his eyes became even worse:
Sacred tree!
And it is a thicker and taller sacred tree!
The height of this sacred tree reaches straight into the sky, probably nearly a thousand meters! This also makes Zheng Nan really puzzled: the geographical location here is only a few hundred meters below the cave. With the height of the sacred tree being over a thousand meters, it should be out of reach.
It's correct when it's off the ground, but why can't it be seen on the ground?
Taking a closer look, Zheng Nan frowned again: Although this sacred tree was taller, it was still lifeless. The entire trunk was dead and ashes, without any life. Only at the highest part of the sacred tree, Zheng Nan relied on his keenness to
With my sharp eyesight, I could see a few extremely sparse leaves, which were already withered and yellow and crumbling...
This sacred tree seemed lifeless, but after Zheng Nan looked at it from top to bottom, it revealed a hint of surprise: in the middle trunk of the sacred tree, Zheng Nan clearly felt a strong wave of life.
There seems to be a living body hidden among them!
"What kind of life could be hidden in the sacred tree? Could it be an evil practitioner like Gongsun Yu?" Zheng Nan thought secretly. At this moment, Zheng Nan noticed a familiar feeling coming from a distance.
It was approaching quickly from the air.
Komodo!
This cold, evil, chilling and nauseating aura, Zheng Nan knew as soon as he touched it, it was the Komodo beast!
Zheng Nan looked up and saw the Komodo flying from a distance, its dark red and gray-brown scales reflecting the misty brilliance, revealing an evil nature.
Zheng Nan held his breath and concentrated, not daring to take a breath for fear of being discovered by Komodo!
After a while, the Komodo beast came directly above Zheng Nan, its long tail swaying back and forth, and its body kept circling around the sacred tree. The height he was at was just in the middle of the sacred tree, where it was emitting life fluctuations.
location.
Komodo walked around the sacred tree, as if speaking to the life form in the sacred tree: "I can't kill you, but I won't make it easy for you. I will make you suffer so much that life is worse than death!"
"This True Dragon Secret Realm in the Burial Sky Forest is the best palace built for the Lord of the Burial Sky. Only dragons like me are qualified to own it... Haha, those stupid beast kings fought with me.
For thousands of years, I don’t know the existence of this secret realm! It’s really ridiculous, it’s really ridiculous..." Komodo said viciously, with a strange "Jie Jie" laugh coming from his mouth.
Immediately he looked stern and continued: "Huh, the most hateful thing is that boy! I was originally in the Burial Forest. Although I couldn't sit in the entire forest, I at least had a happy place in the swamp. But that boy came
He is causing trouble and is on my tongue! I must kill him and cut him into pieces..."
"The corpse was broken into thousands of pieces...the corpse was broken into thousands of pieces..."
These four words echoed back and forth in the secret realm and persisted for a long time. It can be seen that when Komodo said it, he had already used all his own skills to achieve such an effect!
Immediately, Komodo flicked his tail, the surrounding space distorted sharply, and a dark space crack appeared out of thin air. Komodo's figure flashed, entered the space channel, and disappeared.
…
Continuing to hide motionlessly underground, Zheng Nan breathed a sigh of relief after the space energy above completely calmed down. From what Komodo just said, Zheng Nan gained a more accurate understanding of this area and knew what it was like here.
It is a "real dragon secret realm".
Zheng Nan was not surprised at all about Komodo's hatred for him. His appearance completely disrupted Komodo's plan and severely damaged him. Komodo would definitely fight to the death with him.
However, Zheng Nan was even more curious about the life form hidden in the middle of the sacred tree: What kind of existence could make the Komodo beast unable to kill, and he hated it so much that "even if it cannot be killed, it must be killed"
A point where life is worse than death?
"Komodo just broke through the space and left. He must have gone to a relatively far place. In this case, he probably won't be back in a short time..." Zheng Nan thought, and an idea of adventure came up in his mind.
Immediately, Zheng Nan boldly released the Earth Escape, quickly rushed into the air, and quickly swept towards the central area of the sacred tree!
