Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 542 Ancient Tree Space
Inside the Chiyan Ancient Tree.

Here is a huge space, the vast dark green and the bloody red are seamlessly connected together, the hanging vines will attack suddenly from time to time, and the small spirits will come out of the cave wall from time to time.

Ye Shuo didn't know how long he had been walking here, there was a special miasma all around him, and he couldn't sense Xu Yuan's breath.The only guidepost is that in the extreme depths far away, there is always a faintly invisible energy calling to him.After entering the interior of the ancient tree, this feeling became more and more intense.

There are many teleportation arrays distributed here, and as soon as you step on it, you will be teleported to another space, but the scenery in front of you is the same everywhere.If you are not careful, you will completely fall into an endless loop.If Ye Shuo hadn't relied on that vague induction, he might have lost his way in this chaotic space long ago.

In addition, those low-level demons whose bodies are dark green and look like a lump of mud should all be spirits born from the ancient red flame tree. They have absorbed demonic energy for many years and have the ability to move.But they haven't even developed the most basic intelligence, that is to say, they can't be considered real monsters.Ye Shuo killed a few of them, but none of them had the essence of magic origin in their bodies.

At the same time, after these little demons were defeated, their bodies would turn into a pool of green water and merge into the interior of the ancient tree. Obviously, none of them really died, and they would reappear in another space at some point.Or it should be said that they were originally the ancient tree itself, a part of this space.

After passing through several teleportation arrays one after another, the surroundings seemed to be a little wider.Ye Shuo turned around a cave wall, and suddenly heard bursts of spiritual power breaking through the wind not far away, mixed with the suppressed sobbing of a girl.Not far away, I saw a figure surrounded by seven or eight little dark green goblins. The weaker the enemy's aura was, the stronger their power became. At this moment, they almost completely suppressed that figure.

And the one who was driven to the end by the lowly little devil was actually Qiao Xiying, the savage girl who had been against her all the time before that!
How did she come in?Ye Shuo felt dizzy for a while, even if he was beaten to death, he didn't believe that the Qianyuanzong people would be so kind to save him.Remembering what others said earlier, picking Chiyan ancient fruit must enter the interior of the ancient tree when the blood color of the trunk has dropped to the darkest, is it the time now?So how long did he stay in the ancient tree?What about Sugaki now?

These low-level little devils would not have appeared in a swarm, but Qiao Xiying was unfavorable in the first battle, the delay was too long, and new batches of little devils were constantly being refreshed from the cave wall, which led to the current situation of hard fighting .

Randomly released a few spiritual formulas, and Qiao Xiying slashed in all directions with a long sword in her hand.As if she still thought she was not messy enough, the vines not far away suddenly squirmed, turned into several long snakes and shot towards her, spanning several feet in a sudden, wrapping her sword tightly.Losing their self-defense weapons, those lowly little demons immediately rushed up and rushed towards her from all directions.

"No..." Qiao Xiying wanted to cry but had no tears.He could only tightly cover his cheek with his remaining arm, unwilling to see the next nightmare with his own eyes.

On the other side, Ye Shuo secretly shook his head.At the same level of vigor, the Great Elder was the pillar of the entire sect back then, but she couldn't even beat a few low-level demons.Even if her strength level is mixed with water, it shouldn't be so weak.Thinking of her usual self-willed appearance, it seems that it should be caused by relying too much on others.

Perhaps a girl who is too weak can indeed arouse a man's desire to protect, but a person like Mo Gucheng should never wish to have an extra burden around him...

Ye Shuo shook his head, and wanted to leave without hesitation, but judging by her appearance, he couldn't save himself, and he had to wait for the next person to be teleported here, and he didn't know when.It's enough to see the lessons she has received, anyway, it's a matter of little effort, so please help if you can.

When Qiao Xiying was almost in despair, all the lowly demons around her suddenly exploded, the vines came loose, and the long sword returned to her hand.It was as if Qiao Xiying had come back from a desperate situation, she turned her head in ecstasy, and just wanted to thank her savior for his good life.But the joy on her face disappeared instantly after seeing the figure in front of her.

"Why...how could it be you..."

"What else? Your Gucheng senior brother isn't here." Ye Shuo said angrily.Then he stopped talking to her, turned around and left.

Before he could go far, there was a sound of pattering footsteps behind him.Qiao Xiying actually chased after him and followed closely behind him. Seeing him turning his head in confusion, she stared again and declared confidently: "I'm lost!"

Although Ye Shuo really wanted to answer her: "What does it matter to me if you get lost?" After thinking about it, he still didn't have the same knowledge as her, and walked faster.

But after that, when he walked fast, Qiao Xiying followed him fast, and when he walked slowly, Qiao Xiying also followed him slowly. In short, he followed him.Ye Shuo was secretly helpless, this girl spared no effort when she ran on her before, but now she is using her unequivocally... Forget it, let her follow.

While Qiao Xiying was complaining to herself, Ye Shuo also got a general idea of ​​what happened outside the ancient tree.

After he chased into the ancient tree to save Xuyuan, the ancient tree suddenly went berserk and swallowed all the people outside.Everyone in the ancient tree space was scattered, and the jade slips could not be used to communicate. Qiao Xiying couldn't find Lu Hongyu, so she could only try her luck and bump around.

This is not the first time that many sects have explored this Chiyan ancient tree, and all the sects also carried maps inside the ancient tree.For Qian Yuanzong and his party, the map was kept by Lu Hongyu this time, and Qiao Xiying didn't even look at it.

When she thought about it, she couldn't remember it anyway, so she just had to follow senior brother closely.But unexpectedly, such a change occurred, and she, who was alone, was truly in chaos.

Ye Shuo felt helpless when he heard that.At first, I thought that I had some advantages, but now it seems that those who have the map have probably found the main space.As the only two people here without a map, I and Qiao Xiying bumped into each other while walking around, which is considered fate.

Qiao Xiying also explained emphatically that she is not weak, but just hates those disgusting looking things.She repeated this passage several times, and she had to force Ye Shuo to repeat it to her sentence by sentence before giving up.

In the dim space, the bickering between the two never stopped.

"The ancient tree looks only a few feet tall, but there is such a vast space inside..."

"Haven't you even heard of the principle of Xumi mustard space? Country bumpkin!"

"Yes, yes, only your brother Gucheng is the young master."

"you!……"

After another walk, the feeling of calling gradually climbed to the peak. Every step Ye Shuo took, he could even feel the soul in his body fluctuating violently, which made his breathing quicken unconsciously.

After stepping out of the teleportation array again, there is finally no longer a monotonous narrow passage in front of you, but a square and wide space.A tall tree trunk stands straight, with strings of ancient fruits hanging from the branches on both sides.The overall shape is completely consistent with the outside world, like the projection of the ancient red flame tree inside.

Obviously, this is the final destination, the backbone space.

Sure enough, there were already crowds of people in front of the tree trunk, but this time they all moved their team back spontaneously, creating an extremely long distance from the tree trunk.

And these people... Ye Shuo narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that they were much less than before.There are also maps, and they are swallowed at the same time. Hasn't the others rushed over?

There is a strong demonic energy here, and the originally very strong induction has been completely covered in front of the main trunk.The power of one's own soul can't even come out of the body.For a while, I can only give up searching and go to meet up with my companions first.

On the periphery of the crowd, Lu Hongyu, Feng Yu and others were also attacking in full swing.Ye Shuo stepped forward suspiciously, and asked, "What are they doing? Didn't they say that as long as the ancient red flame fruit enters the ancient tree, they can be picked casually?"

When Lu Hongyu saw him, a complex look flashed in his eyes, and it turned into relief when he saw Qiao Xiying beside him.Ying said: "It is true that you only need to pick from the inside, but today's Chiyan ancient tree seems to be very violent for some reason. It will directly swallow people if it is touched, and many people have been swallowed before. So Everyone can only try to attack the trunk from a distance, hoping to use the vibration to shake the ancient red flame fruit from the branches."

"What...?" Ye Shuo followed his gaze, and sure enough, he saw piles of tree chrysalis in front of the trunk.He was blocked by everyone's attack before, and he didn't have the time to distinguish it, but now, it is clearly a group of human beings wrapped in tree chrysalis!Those faces are still vaguely familiar, they are all people from various parties who have previously harbored ulterior motives in the outside world and coveted the ancient fruit of Chi Yan.

However, within a few hours, the muscles on their faces had shrunk deeply, showing a serious loss of energy.As for the essence they absorbed, without thinking too much, it turned into the nourishment of the ancient tree, nourishing the ancient red flame fruit they had dreamed of.

They were clearly all companions, but no one present was thinking of saving them, and the indiscriminate attacks were still scrambling to fall.

Looking into the depths of the tree chrysalis, Ye Shuo's pupils suddenly shrank.I saw that Xu Yuan was also wrapped in it, his eyes were closed tightly, and only a layer of dry human skin remained on his face.Presumably it was because he was absorbed the earliest, and his position at this time was closest to the trunk. With the continuous wriggling of the bark, he would definitely be fully integrated into the tree in a short time!
Without hesitation, Ye Shuo jumped up and was about to charge towards the ancient tree when Lu Hongyu suddenly held him back.

"You can't go there! Every time the ancient tree swallows people, it swallows a large number of people directly. Not only can you go there now, you can't save Xuyuan, but if the ancient tree is stirred up again, many people will be swallowed by it!"

"Get out of the way!" Ye Shuo didn't care about the lives of other people at all.Throwing away Lu Hongyu fiercely, he rushed straight to the ancient tree.People along the way saw his plan and rushed to stop them, but Ye Shuo chopped them down with three moves.

As soon as he jumped onto the trunk, Ye Shuo raised his hand and grabbed the tree chrysalis in the deepest part.The drooping filaments are extremely resilient, and the light blade of spiritual power cuts continuously and cannot be cut off.Ye Shuo had no choice but to punch the trunk directly.

Ye Shuo didn't know what kind of stimulus the main body received to riot. Although he was confused before, since they couldn't get in close contact, why did the group of people conclude that a long-range attack would be fine?But now he can't control that much, the only thing left in his mind is a stupid way, attack the main body, let it spit out the continuation!

Lu Hongyu was still worried and wanted to stop him, but Qiao Xiying stopped him.

"Don't pay attention to him! This is his own death, not ours. If he really dies here, Brother Gucheng must be happy to see it happen! Brother Hongyu!"

Lu Hongyu remained silent, allowing Qiao Xiying to shake his sleeve vigorously, but he did not take another step forward.

Perhaps it was the phrase "Brother Gucheng will also be happy to see his success" touched him.If you think about it differently, if others hurt your relatives, even if you are inconvenient to take action directly due to your status, in your heart, don't you want to see your enemy die?

The attacks of the people present also stopped, and they retreated vigilantly to prevent the ancient tree from devouring it again.But until Ye Shuo successfully rescued Xu Yuan, the ancient tree didn't move for a moment!
"The ancient tree won't swallow people anymore?" Everyone looked at each other, and soon saw the sudden rise of greed in each other's eyes, "Don't miss this opportunity, grab the ancient fruit of Chiyan!"

Although everyone is still fighting for each other at this moment, small-scale conflicts also break out from time to time.The large-scale battle will officially begin when the ancient fruits on the branches are really picked off.It is conceivable that there are sects behind all those present, and the arrogance brought to them by the sect will never allow them to share the visible treasures equally with others.

Ye Shuo didn't participate in the chaotic fight ahead, once he rescued Xu Yuan, he directly hid in a corner of the cave, opened the barrier, and channeled spiritual power to Xu Yuan.It took quite a while before Xu Yuan's face turned rosy again.However, the large loss of energy made him feel like he had just suffered a serious illness, and it was obvious that he would no longer be able to participate in battles in a short period of time.

After Ye Shuo confirmed that Xu Yuan was fine, he left him in a corner to rest, and he didn't forget to strengthen the barrier a few more layers before leaving.

At this time, the battle around Chiyan Guguo had reached a fever pitch, with swords and soldiers colliding on all sides, and blood rained heavily.

As one of the top powers here, Qianyuanzong did not participate in the initial competition.What they are fighting is the idea of ​​waiting for work with ease.There were also a few sects with the same thoughts in the arena, but as the battle progressed, these bystanders were about to end in person.

"Brother Ye, how many can you deal with?" Lu Hongyu asked indifferently when he saw Ye Shuo approaching.

The corner of Ye Shuo's mouth slowly curled into a sneer, and his eyes swept across the audience: "You guys go pick the ancient red flame fruit. Leave all the ones here to me."

Although I don't have any intention of showing off, but in front of two people who are always waiting to put on my shoes, if my performance in this mission cannot be seen by all, how can I get them to pay the reward honestly?

Hearing Ye Shuo's wild words, not only Lu Hongyu was stunned, but also the fierce fighting crowd stopped for a moment.Several people had already turned their heads and sneered at him maliciously.
