Chapter 124 Dead Trees and Colorful Butterflies
It was obviously not the Devouring Demon Willow. After all, it did not look like a willow tree.
It only had stiff dead branches that stretched and twisted in the mist. It did not even have leaves.
Its fluffy dead branches looked like the white afro of an old Albert Einstein.
In the mist, its branches were shadowy, like a withered tree.
But it was obviously not a dead tree...
Not only was it not a dead tree, it was also extremely powerful and fierce! Facing the five expedition members and the tentacle monster that were chasing after it, it took the initiative to attack!
Each of its seemingly withered branches moved, stretched quickly, and attacked like a tentacle...
No, it was not a tentacle, it was more like a spear.
Those thousands of spears stabbed quickly, and in the moment Qin Ran looked up, they had already stabbed in front of him.
He had no time to react and make an evasive operation. His body instinctively performed a dreamlike operation and turned his body into a water form.
Just as Qin Ran gritted his teeth and prepared to bear the pain of the dead branch spear piercing his body...
The imagined pain did not come.
Qin Ran was stunned, and looked carefully, only to find that the dead branches did not stab him, but only intertwined into a cage to imprison him. He looked to the side and found that other people, including Su Changqing, were also imprisoned by the dead branch cage.
And they were imprisoned "friendly", but the tentacles that chased them here were not so lucky. The dead branch spears were extremely sharp and nailed those tentacles in the air.
"So strong!" Qin Ran thought to himself, but at the same time he used the dreamlike illusion to turn himself into water and tried to flow out from the gap of the dead branches.
...This is impossible!
I don't know what realm this dead tree is in. The cage it intertwined seems to have dense holes, but it seems like a barrier. No matter what, I can't get out.
This dead tree is not a friendly army! Qin Ran's heart sank.
Although the dead tree attacked the tentacle monster and had a grudge against it, it was not friendly to the five-member team.
After struggling for a while, Qin Ran had to give up and looked at the tentacles in the air. He found that the tentacles nailed in the air by the dead tree had shriveled in a short time...
The flesh and demonic power inside were absorbed by the dead branch!
Sucking flesh and blood? ! Qin Ran was frightened. It was indeed not a kind thing.
"Hoarse..."
At this time, the tentacle monster screamed in pain in the mist. The next moment, the tentacles nailed by the dead branches broke apart. All the tentacles, including those that were not nailed, retreated faster than when they were chasing Qin Ran and his team.
The tentacle monster was afraid of this dead tree!
Hearing the cry of the tentacle monster and seeing the speed of the tentacles, Qin Ran's face changed drastically. He looked at Su Changqing and instantly understood...
The tentacle monster had been playing with them!
The screams of the tentacle monster were not far away, which meant that its movement speed was not slow! Its tentacles could move so fast, which meant that it could have caught up with Qin Ran and others long ago, but it just didn't...
If it weren't for this dead tree, their final fate would be to be toyed to death by the tentacle monster.
I am really scared... bullshit!
I have been afraid all the time!
What is the fog in this immortal land? Weird and terrifying creatures come one after another!
Now being caught by the dead branches of a group of people and imprisoned, I am afraid it will not be much better than being toyed to death by the tentacle monster.
You can get rid of the tentacle py, but you can't escape the imprisonment paly!
Qin Ran was as disappointed as death.
After forcing the tentacle monster back, the dead tree pulled the branches and pulled Qin Ran and others under its trunk. Then the branches shook, and an unknown spell was emitted. This dead tree was summoning something.
Was it not to imprison py, but to whom to offer them?
Qin Ran's mind raced again, looking for a way to escape...
Tree?
He suddenly thought, this is a tree, no matter how powerful it is, it should be afraid of fire.
And he has the Earth Flame Pill in his hand.
At this point, Qin Ran hurriedly took out an Earth Flame Pill from his Qiankun bag...
"I guess you are the Blood Dragon Bone!"
At this time, Su Changqing suddenly spoke.
Qin Ran's movements paused, Blood Dragon Bone? He looked at Su Changqing, did Su Changqing know the origin of this tree?
The shaking branches of the dead tree stopped, it did not move, but Qin Ran had a strange feeling, it looked at Su Changqing.
"Legend has it that deep in the Hengduan Mountains of Lingnan, there are two ancient strange trees. One is the Devouring Demon Willow that can devour the sky and the earth, and the other is the Blood Dragon Bone that has absorbed the bones of a real dragon."
Su Changqing's clear voice sounded in the mist, with a wonderful charm.
"It is rare for trees to awaken their spirits. It is a great fortune and luck given by heaven and earth that two trees that have become spirits can meet. So they became brothers, called each other fellows, and exchanged their cultivation experiences together."
Su Changqing knew about this tree. Qin Ran thought to himself, it seems that it doesn't need to die, and there is no need to play imprisonment.
"Although the cultivation of trees is extremely stable, it is too slow. They have been seeking a way to practice quickly, but tens of thousands of years have passed and they have gained nothing. Until this day..." Su Changqing looked at the Blood Dragon Bone, "A corpse of an immortal fell from the sky and smashed into the Hengduan Mountains.
"At the moment they saw the immortal aura emanating from the corpse of the immortal, both trees knew the method of practicing quickly... Devour!
"One of them grows by devouring the flesh and blood of other creatures, and the other grows by the dragon bones buried under its own roots. So their growth method was determined at the beginning, and it can only be devouring.
"If they can absorb this immortal corpse, then their strength will usher in a huge increase...even, they will find an opportunity to become immortals.
"So, for the immortal corpse, they turned against each other."
What Su Changqing said was obviously right, because the dead tree in front of him was angry, and its branches began to shake, and the branch cage used to trap Su Changqing was tightening inwards.
The fate of the immortal corpse is already very clear. One is the Devouring Demon Willow that is about to merge with the Dao, and the other is a dead tree hidden in the mist and unknown to the world...
"You don't have to be angry, sir. I believe you know that since the Devouring Demon Willow got the immortal corpse, its cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds. In just over ten thousand years, it is close to merging with the Dao..." Su Changqing was not panicked at all. He was as steady as an old dog and talked freely, "And in order to achieve the strongest merging with the Dao, he will devour all the savings of the Hengduan Mountains in the past ten thousand years.
"We are here to stop him!"
As soon as these words came out, the branches of the Blood Dragon Bone stopped shaking instantly.
Su Changqing spoke generously: "We will never allow him to do this! "
And at this moment, the fog suddenly dispersed to form a small passage. Everyone present felt a divine coming at the same time. Su Changqing stopped talking and looked at the passage...
I saw a passage opened in the thick fog, and a colorful butterfly slowly flew over from the depths of the passage.
It was light and elegant, flapping its wings slowly, with a kind of beauty close to the Tao!
Everyone looked at it, watched it flap its wings, watched its flight trajectory, as if seeing the essence of Tao...
That is the essence of cultivation that cannot be described in words!!
That is the Tao.
Everyone was fascinated, watching the colorful butterfly fly out of the passage, fly through the air, fly to the branch of the dead tree, gently land, and fold its wings.
At this time, everyone on the scene woke up from the Tao realm as if in a dream...
"What is it, who is it? ! "Qin Ran asked in his heart.
He couldn't get an answer, so he had to look at Su Changqing. He saw that Su Changqing was thoughtful, so he knew that Su Changqing knew the origin of this colorful butterfly.
The blood dragon bone, the colorful butterfly, the blood dragon bone and the Devouring Demon Willow...
Su Changqing didn't say a lot of things.
After the colorful butterfly stopped, the branches of the blood dragon bone were seen shaking gently, obviously communicating with the colorful butterfly.
After a while, the branches loosened, and Qin Ran and others were put down.
Then the colorful butterfly flapped its wings again, flew up from the branches of the blood dragon bone, opened up a passage in the mist, and flew in.
And Qin Ran and others had some kind of enlightenment in their hearts, and hurried to catch up...
