Calamity Dance

Chapter 27 Guardian Ancient Tree

The three waited for more than ten minutes, but the stone did not change in any way, nor did any of the guardians that Sanqianying said appeared to greet them.

"Lin, go and open the door." Xu Qingquan suggested to Lin who was beside him.

"Are you kidding? Have you ever seen someone burn stones?" Lin was shocked and looked at Xu Qingquan like a strange person.

"Didn't you smash it open just now when you said it couldn't work!" Xu Qingquan retorted.

"That's smashing, it's not boiling!" Lin stared at Xu Qingquan, "Go, go, aren't you strong, go smash!" She pushed Xu Qingquan and pushed him to stand up.

"Oh, isn't this a joke, so what should we do now, ask Dr. Orianna, didn't you say keep in touch?" Xu Qingquan looked at Lin.

"My lord said she didn't know either. I contacted you just now, so let's wait." Sanqianying looked at Xu Qingquan innocently and said.

Just when the three were at a loss, Xu Qingquan smelled some strange smells, which were not from the three of them, nor from the beasts passing by in the jungle.The smell seems to come from the stone, a bit like sandalwood, but too pungent.He followed the smell, came to the stone, and reached out to touch the words on the stone.

Xu Qingquan recalled the scene when he touched the stone gate in the dream, and now the feeling is very familiar.

"Did you smell something?" Sanqianying asked as she stood up.She thought of the scene when Xu Qingquan discovered the nightmare-eating tapir, which was somewhat similar to the present.

Xu Qingquan didn't answer, his state jumped back and forth between dreams and reality, as if all these were inextricably linked.

Suddenly, the stone vibrated violently, and Xu Qingquan was pulled back to reality. He took a few steps back, returned to Sanqianying and Lin, and watched from afar.

The vibration became more and more violent, and Lin also stood up. At some point, she had put on the gloves, the smile on her face had disappeared, and she was staring at the stone resolutely.

The big rock gradually cracked after the violent vibration, and thick smoke billowed from the cracks.The entire open space was shrouded in thick smoke in a short period of time, and the visibility was less than one meter.

"Don't move around, pay attention to breathing!" Seeing this, Sanqianying immediately reminded the two of them.She judged that the smoke might be highly toxic.

Seeing the thick smoke rushing towards them, the three of them immediately summoned an energy field to protect themselves in it.Because Xu Qingquan was not very proficient, he was a little slow, but he still finished the summoning of the energy field before the thick smoke hit.

"Not bad, I can already summon by myself!" Seeing that Xu Qingquan had also set up an energy field, Lin praised her, but she stopped talking soon.The energy field can slow down the entry of external air in a short period of time, forming an isolated space, but because it belongs to the category of electromagnetic field, it does not reach the molecular level, and the air will still penetrate slowly.

Sanqianying put her index fingers together, crossed the rest of her fingers, and said a spell.She formed the spell quickly, her fingers seemed to dance in the air, the air gathered around her, and a small tornado enveloped her.As the tornado formed, she stared straight ahead with extremely sharp eyes.After the spell was completed, Sanqianying struck hard with both hands, and instantly the thick smoke was torn open a long hole, as if cut open with a knife.

Xu Qingquan couldn't help admiring her skillful use of the power of wind, which has reached the level of a sword.

"Beautiful!" Lin clapped her hands and applauded.

From the crack in the smoke, the three of them could clearly see the condition of the stone portal.The stone has been completely broken and scattered on the ground, and there is nothing else left.

Sanqianying continued to manipulate the power of the wind, and with her hands together, the air knife that cut through the cracks gradually condensed, as if she was accumulating strength.She found the right time, and when she opened her folded hands, the dense smoke was instantly blasted and dissipated.

When the smoke dissipated, it turned out that the stone gradually revealed a huge figure.Xu Qingquan took a closer look, and found that it was not a wild beast, but an ancient tree broke out from the ground at some point and stood there.

"Guardian of Beast Spirits, what are you doing?" Lin yelled at the top of her throat.

What beast spirit guardian?Xu Qingquan was very surprised, no beast appeared, and no one was around.He sniffed hard, but there was no animal smell except the smell of grass and trees.

"Who's here?" A deep voice came from the tree.

Xu Qingquan looked around carefully, wanting to see who was speaking behind the tree, whether it was a human or a beast spirit, he was ready.

"The guardians of the Snakeman Sanctuary, Sophia Lin and Sanqianying, please visit Lord Beast Spirit King." Lin cupped her fists and bowed deeply.Sanqianying also cupped her fists and bowed at the same time.The two stood on both sides of Xu Qingquan, but Xu Qingquan didn't hear her mention his name, didn't react for a while, and stood straight.

"Human beings are no longer welcome in the beast spirit world, please go back." The guardian said slowly.

"I expected that." Lin lowered her head and whispered to the two, she raised her head immediately and raised her voice, "The beast spirit world has always been friendly with the mortal world, and the king of beast spirits has also visited our Fasalin College, I don't know why now I will not meet again, but I would like to hear more about it.”

Lin's words changed from the casual style of the past. If Xu Qingquan hadn't heard it with his own ears, it would be hard for Xu Qingquan to believe that Lin would speak like this.

"We have never been friends, but we just don't interfere with each other. Beast Spirit King is sick recently, and it is no longer convenient to meet with him. Please go back." The guardian's tone did not change at all, as if it was read by a machine.

"Recently, the beast spirit-eating nightmare attacked the village and injured hundreds of civilians. It will not take long for the beast spirit king to understand the truth behind it. Please let the guardian help to let it go." Lin was still respectful.

"I haven't heard about the nightmare-eating tapir, and I don't know what the inside story is. Please go back." The guardian didn't mean to back down.

"Since the beast spirit world doesn't interfere with us, isn't the guardian who released the nightmare-eating tapir to blame?" Lin was already a little angry. She straightened her body while bowing her head, and her eyes became fierce.

There was no response from the other end of the ancient tree, and the scene fell into a stalemate.

"Where is that guardian? Why are you pretending to be mysterious? What's so great about it?" Hearing that the guardian tried to deny the nightmare about it, Xu Qingquan was a little angry. He wanted to see what the guardian was. backing.

"This is the guardian, this ancient tree." Sanqianying said with a serious expression.

This surprised Xu Qingquan. It turns out that a tree is also conscious, and it is the guardian of the beast spirit world!The pungent sandalwood scent he smelled just before the smoke appeared was the scent of this tree, so it was no wonder that he didn't smell any animal scent.

"How long is this stalemate going to last? You interfered with us first, but you never let us in. We just want to ask the Beast King a few things. We don't have any malicious intentions, and we don't want to provoke a conflict!" Lin was already very angry. Even Xu Qingquan beside him could feel the breath.

"Please go back!" The guardian only threw out these three words this time.

The moment she heard these three words, Lin had already made her move.

In the palm of her right hand, a ball of fire had condensed and she threw it at the guardian.The moment the fire hit the ancient tree, it did not ignite the branches and leaves, but exploded and split into a dozen small fireballs, surrounding the ancient tree.

The guardian also responded, the branches kept shaking, the leaves fell and floated in the air, like blades of blades, flying towards the three of them.Seeing this, Lin immediately regrouped the fireball. This time, she fanned the fireball with both hands, intercepting the flying leaves in midair.The leaves burned violently in the air, turning to ashes.

At this time, Lin had no intention of showing any affection. She formed a spell with one hand, and her whole body was instantly ignited by the flames. At the same time, she was ejected into the air and flew towards the direction of the ancient tree. Lin, who was in a flame state, drew a long line in the air track.

Seeing Lin flying over, the branches of the ancient tree grew out at an extremely fast speed, piercing towards the direction of Lin flying.Lin kept dodging in the air, and the fire blade in her hand cut off all the trunks and branches flying over, cleanly.

Seeing that it was about to hit the trunk, the ancient tree retracted its branches, and quickly entrenched itself in front of the trunk, forming a large circular disk, trying to block it.However, Lin didn't have the will to back down, so she obviously increased her firepower and bumped into it.

The impact sent out a bright light, and at the same time brought a huge explosion.Xu Qingquan covered his eyes with his hands, Sanqianying didn't look back, he was still watching the battle scene, as if ready to strike at any time.

The smoke from the explosion dissipated, Xu Qingquan looked at the ancient tree.The disc shield that was temporarily formed just now has been penetrated, and a big hole appeared, and the torso of the ancient tree was also blackened in a large mass.Lin, who was still wrapped in flames, stood not far away, with her back facing them and facing the ancient tree, as if her anger hadn't dissipated at all.

The ancient tree also seemed to be enraged after receiving the trauma. His branches grew even more crazily, and he kept attacking Lin at a very fast speed, and Lin kept using the fire blade as a block.She bounced back and forth in the open space, but she still couldn't get rid of the attack of the ancient tree.

However, danger suddenly occurred.The ancient tree suddenly protruded a slender root from the ground behind Lin, trying to attack her from behind, but Lin was busy fighting with the branches in front of her, not aware of the danger coming from the ground.

Xu Qingquan wanted to remind Lin that it was too late, and at the same time, three or four tree roots pierced out of the ground, and they were about to poke Zhong Lin.Sanqianying also saw this dangerous scene, she exclaimed, but her wind magic could not support Lin in such a short time.

Can't care so much anymore, Xu Qingquan took a brisk walk, kicked his legs, his body immediately rushed out like an arrow off the string, and he dodged to Lin's back to hug Lin who was in a burning state.

The flame on Lin's body ignited the clothes on Xu Qingquan's body, and the skin on his body was burned instantly.But Xu Qingquan didn't care about the pain in his body, picked Lin up and tried to get out of the piercing range of the roots of the ancient tree.However, it was too late, three sharp roots had pierced Xu Qingquan's back and pierced through his chest.

Xu Qingquan's painful screams resounded in the forest.

Lin didn't react to what happened in the flash, but she saw Xu Qingquan blocked the fatal piercing attack for her.She quickly cut off the tree roots on the ground with a fire blade and rescued Xu Qingquan.The tree roots that passed through Xu Qingquan's body also quickly disappeared. Xu Qingquan lost his center of gravity and lay on the ground. One side of his body was scorched and his chest was pierced, and blue blood was constantly gushing out.

Sanqianying rushed over by the wind, separated the two with an air wall, and led the two away from the battlefield and back to the stream.
