The next day, everyone went on the road again, under the leadership of Wang Hong, Zhan Chen and they traveled quickly, avoiding many dangers along the way, and it only took nearly half a month to come to the area where the demon tree breeds. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The trees in front of them were dwindling, and in their place were patches of aquatic weeds taller than a man's head, and under the aquatic weeds, there was a trap-like mud in ambush, and they entered a large swamp.

At this time, Wang Hong suggested to Zhan Chen: "Captain, we must go deep into this swamp to find the trace of the demon tree, because the demon tree on the periphery of this place may have been dug up." ”

Zhan Chen frowned and said, "I didn't expect this demon tree to be so popular. ”

"Of course, don't you know, a Heavenly Divine Boat needs at least a hundred Martial Emperor powerhouses to drive it, so it must be built very large. The demon wood heart essence that needs to be consumed in this is not one or two, but tens of thousands, it is not that the big family has no way to build such a big ship, and in this city that never sleeps, not only the Ning family is building the Heavenly Divine Boat, but the City Lord's Mansion and the other three major families are also doing this. ”

"Besides, in the center of the Yuanchi, we are not the only city that never sleeps, but also Heiwu City, Wangri City, Yongqing City and Minghai City, these four cities, their scale is not inferior to the Sleepless City, among them, there are also city lords' mansions, family forces, and they also want to build the Heavenly Shenzhou. In this way, the essence of the demon wood is really in short supply, and basically those that are easy to be collected are all lighted up, and if we want to get something, we must go to more inaccessible and dangerous places to try our luck. ”

"I see!" Zhan Chen suddenly realized, and sighed again: "I didn't expect that our Sleepless City is not the only human gathering place. ”

Wang Hong said with a smile: "Captain, it should be said that our city that never sleeps is the one that is the furthest away from the center of the abyss, and the other four cities are closer to the center of the abyss, and the environment they face is also more sinister, and the folk customs are more fierce. I've been to these cities in the morning, and compared to them, our city that never sleeps is a paradise. ”

"Elder Wang, you still have experience!"

Zhan Chen and the others continued to go deep into this swamp, but the muddy road brought a lot of trouble to their movements, even if they were strong Martial Emperors here, they couldn't move lightly.

At this time, the demon beasts lurking in the depths of the swamp frequently launched sneak attacks on them, and in the past three days, except for Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru, everyone else had more or less minor injuries on their bodies, but fortunately, everyone had a few bottles of healing medicine, so this little injury would not affect their movement at all.

On the fourth day, they finally found their goal! In the middle of a large open swamp, there stood a strange giant tree, which was 100 meters high, and its body was so thick that it might not be able to surround it even if twenty people hugged it; and above its trunk, there were hundreds of strong and powerful branches, each of which was as thick as a basin mouth, and was tens of meters long, like the tentacles of an octopus, hanging softly to the earth; on the branches, not a single leaf grew, but instead there were needle-like spikes, covering the tips of the entire tree, which was its most powerful weapon; the most strange thing was that within a radius of a hundred zhang around it, there was not a single plant, but the corpses of more than a dozen demon beasts scattered aroundSome of these corpses are only white bones, and some still have fur, but they are only fur, their flesh and blood, they have been removed by something, and through those furs, the outline of their entire skeleton can be seen at a glance.

Seeing this bleak scene, Zhan Chen's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

But Zhou Ziru was more impulsive, so he wanted to rush over directly to attack the demon tree, but was stopped by Wang Hong on the side, and said to him: "Vice captain, don't be excited, this demon tree's attack methods are unpredictable, if you attack rashly, you will definitely be embarrassed and even injured." ”

"Our luck can be said to be good, but it can also be said to be very bad. This demon tree is the largest one I've ever seen, and the demon wood essence contained in it must also be the largest, and even one can be worth three ordinary demon trees, but its attack speed and attack power are also the strongest, I estimate that its strength will reach 800,000 catties, and it will be drawn, but it will be fatal!"

At this time, Zhan Chen nodded and said, "Zhou Ziru, we still have to listen to Elder Wang, he has the most experience." Besides, haven't you also seen the jade slip, this demon tree's attack is more than its long branches. ”

As soon as he said this, a sixth-order intermediate demon beast, the mire lizard, happened to swim through the demon tree's sphere of influence, and a terrifying scene occurred! I saw that from the sticky and rotten soil, there was a sudden "whoosh", and a black shadow drilled out, and it shot at it as fast as a flying arrow, shooting towards it close at hand.

The sneak attack erupted in close proximity, and it was so fast that before the mire lizard could react, it was stabbed and pierced, killing it in one hit!

Everyone looked at it and realized that the culprit who killed the demon beast was actually a long tree root as slender as a bamboo branch. The roots of the tree were rooted in its body, and it began to frantically absorb the blood and energy in its body, and after only three minutes, the originally fat mire lizard was left with only bones and a layer of skin attached to the surface of the bones, which made people look creepy.

It was only then that Wang Hong muttered: "Do you see it? This is the terrifying thing about the Tree Demon, if I guess correctly, with this spirit tree as the center, within a radius of a hundred zhang, it has all been covered with its root system, as long as any life dares to break in, it will get the same fate as the demon beast just now." ”

"Then how should we approach it?" Zhou Ziru couldn't help asking, and then he seemed to have "a big idea" and said, "Yes, we can use long-range attacks to destroy it!"

As soon as he said it, he immediately mobilized his true yuan, slashed out a sword qi more than ten meters high, and roared towards the trunk of the demon tree.

The strange scene appeared again, where the sword qi passed, thousands of tree roots rushed out from the mire, rushing towards the sword qi, and the branches that were originally hanging on the demon tree's body also flew up, pumping towards the sword qi with teeth and claws, and under the heavy obstruction, the energy of the sword qi was finally completely exhausted and disappeared in the air. All that was left was the fluttering branches and roots.

Seeing this kind of scene for the first time, Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru were so surprised that their mouths opened wide and couldn't say a word.

At this time, Wang Hong on the side smiled and said: "Hahaha, vice captain, your method is right, but unfortunately it is impossible to cut down the demon tree with just one blow from you." This demon tree is highly sensitive to threats, whether it is approached by humans or demon beasts, or to a true element attack such as sword qi, it will react until the threat is completely eradicated. ”

"So the method we have summed up in the past is also to use sword qi long-range attacks, and it is ten people who attack in one place. In this way, even if it can't be seriously injured, it can still cut off the root system within a certain range of the demon tree, and clear out a route that can get close to its body. ”

"The vitality of the demon tree is very tenacious, even if it is cut off some of its roots and branches, it will not hurt its roots, and only if we attack the trunk protected by those branches everywhere, can it be killed. ”

"Ziru, Wang Hong's method is good, let's implement it immediately. Zhan Chen said.

"Okay, let's attack together and cut off all the branches and vines of that guy!" Zhou Ziru said excitedly.

"Come on, everyone, and when I give the order later, I will concentrate on attacking the demon tree!" Zhan Chen then gave an order to everyone.

After receiving the order, the ten team members began to accumulate true yuan at the same time, brewing their strongest blow. Zhan Chen also poured all his true essence into the Shark Hunting Sword, preparing to perform his strongest blow, the Silent Killing Sword Technique.

When his momentum swelled to the highest, he shouted: "Release!" The Shark Hunting Sword fell from his head, and a huge dark gold sword qi nearly thirty meters high rushed out, and a black-red sword light was diffused on the edge of the sword qi, burning like a flame.

At this time, the other team members also used their strongest blows, ten colorful sword qi, and blasted towards a point on the trunk of the demon tree. Along the road, countless tree roots shot out from under the dirt, trying to block the sword qi's progress. However, before they could get closer, they were disintegrated by the countless tiny sword rays that escaped from the sword qi, and finally dissipated into the air like dust.

It's close, the sword qi is about to approach the body of the demon tree, what kind of result will it be? Everyone stared at it tightly, and they didn't dare to let out the atmosphere.

The demon tree also seemed to feel that it was facing a great threat, and waved all the branches in front of him to form a "giant net".

Hearing only a loud sound of "boom!", the sword qi finally hit the "giant net", and a violent explosion occurred. There was a lot of smoke, and everyone saw that several huge branches were blown into the air and fell to the ground.

"Did you succeed?!" everyone's spirits were lifted, and when they looked at the demon tree, they felt a little lost, because they found that most of the branches of the demon tree were still there, and green shoots appeared from the broken branches, and began to grow at a visible speed.

"Oh no, it's reborn!" the experienced Wang Hong immediately called.

"Regeneration" is another of the demon tree's natural powers, when its branches and roots are damaged to a certain extent, it will use the huge energy stored in its body to quickly grow the lost part of the roots and branches.

"Let's do it again!" Zhou Ziru shouted.

At this time, Zhan Chen shouted: "No, we can't remove all those branches in another round, but we have spent the true yuan in vain." ”

After listening to Zhan Chen's words, everyone nodded frequently, the strength of this demon tree was much stronger than all they had encountered before, but they didn't expect that the combined forces of ten Martial Emperors would not be able to break through its defenses.

And the restoration of the demon tree is beyond everyone's imagination. While everyone was talking, the few branches that had been blown off had all recovered, and they were still a few thicker than before, waving in the air, as if shouting and demonstrating to Zhan Chen and the others.

Seeing this, Zhou Ziru hurriedly said: "Zhan Chen, do you have a better way? ”

Zhan Chen observed the demon tree silently for a while, then turned his head and said to everyone, "I have a way." ”

"What's the solution?!" everyone asked urgently.

"Later, you will launch another round of sword duel attacks to clear the way for me. ”

"And I'll take the opportunity to rush over and attack its fragile trunk!"

"No, this is too dangerous, that demon tree has many branches, and the attack power of each one reaches nearly 800,000 catties, and it will kill you even if you take a hit!" Wang Hong couldn't help but exclaim.

Zhan Chen listened, but smiled slightly, and said, "Don't worry, I know it in my heart." ”

"But—"

"Alright, I'm the captain, obey orders!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was speechless, but they all looked at Zhan Chen worriedly, he had not yet reached the realm of the Great Perfection of Emperor Wu, and he had to face such a powerful demon tree alone, no matter how you look at it, it is an act of looking for death.
