Chapter 37: Lin Man'er fights against Lao Shu, and the pangolin waits for the opportunity to ask for his life
Lin Man'er brought back the Flower Candle Fruit and the Condensation Grass. After the mother of the little pangolin took it, not only was it detoxified, but its own cultivation was also improved. Lin Man'er was curious and asked him why.
The mother of the little pangolin told Lin Man'er that their pangolin clan mainly improved their cultivation by devouring spirit grass and spirit fruits, and then devoured demon pills. Moreover, not all spirit grasses and spirit fruits are suitable for them. For example, the Thunder Tribulation Fruit is only suitable for thunder-attribute demon beasts.
After hearing this, Lin Man'er said with some expectation: "Then do you think I can devour the spirit grass and spirit fruit to improve my cultivation?" ”
"Theoretically, it should be possible, but your human body is too fragile, and most of the spirit grass and spirit fruit are so powerful that if you take them lightly, they may hurt your internal organs. That's why you Terrans came up with the way of alchemy. ”
"Oh, that's right! But I swallowed the flower candle fruit directly before, and it was nothing, right? ”
"What? You swallowed the flower candle fruit directly? How is this possible, even I can't swallow it directly. ”
"If you don't believe me, ask your son, who made me eat."
The little pangolin moved to the side in fear, and then told his mother what had happened. After hearing this, the mother pangolin became interested in Lin Man'er's body. Lin Man'er seemed to sense the danger, and slowly urged the Seven Evil Soul Suppression Technique to warn the mother pangolin to put away her greed.
The mother pangolin felt the oppression of the divine soul, and at the same time roughly understood Lin Man'er's strength. So, his attitude changed and he discussed cooperation with Lin Man'er. Lin Man'er asked her how to cooperate, and after thinking for a while, the mother pangolin told about the cooperation.
It probably means that she will first explore the spiritual grass and spiritual fruit of the Meishan Mountain Range. Subsequently, everyone worked together to solve the guardian spirit beast, and finally the benefits were equally shared.
Lin Man'er thought the proposal was good, but he didn't trust the female pangolin. After all, the human race and the demon race have been fighting all year round, so how can they be trusted.
The female pangolin seemed to have guessed Lin Man'er's thoughts, and explained: "Your Excellency Sword Immortal, please don't worry too much, it's not our turn to take care of the affairs of the human race and the demon race. What's more, the battle within the demon clan is far more fierce than with the human race. Xiao Wang's move is also to improve his cultivation as soon as possible and protect my child. ”
Lin Man'er touched her chin with a hesitant look.
The mother pangolin was overjoyed and continued to persuade: "Presumably, Your Excellency the Sword Immortal has also seen it, if you don't have enough strength here, you can only be reduced to meat. And once you have the strength, you can occupy more resources and improve again. Therefore, the strong become stronger, and the weak perish. ”
Lin Man'er nodded and replied, "Very good!" I agree to work with you. Before you can do that, though, you'll have to help me deal with the old tree. ”
The mother pangolin was a little worried: "Is Your Excellency Sword Immortal really sure to kill the Old Tree King?" ”
Lin Man'er patted his chest and said confidently: "As long as you help me dig a tunnel, I can kill it." ”
After some careful consideration, the female pangolin decided to take the plunge.
——————————
About two hours later, the mother pangolin had dug a tunnel for Lin Man'er to the roots of the old tree. Because of the deep digging and the fact that it was a pangolin, the old tree didn't care. After all, in a few more hours, it would be able to advance to the rank of third-order tree king. After that, he grabbed Lin Man'er, flew away from here, and took refuge in the Supreme Hemlock Tree King.
It's a pity that Lin Man'er didn't give it this chance. I saw that in the cave, Lin Man'er closed his eyes tightly and probed the spiritual core of the old tree with his divine sense. It didn't take long for Lin Man'er to confirm the location. Then, the mourning sword was sacrificed, and the aura was reversed, ready to kill with one blow.
However, the mother pangolin stopped him. Lin Man'er was puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”
The mother pangolin said with her divine sense, "Have you really confirmed the location of the old tree's spirit core?" ”
"Confirmed, right in its thickest roots."
The mother pangolin shook her head and said again: "As far as I know, the old tree has a lifespan. Can it live that long without special means? But now, its most important spirit core has been found so easily by you, don't you think there is something wrong? ”
"What's the problem?"
"The spirit core you found is most likely fake."
Lin Man'er was shocked, and once again unfolded his divine sense, observing the spirit core of the old tree. Sure enough, there was something unusual about that spirit core. Lin Man'er scolded and continued to explore among the other roots. Unfortunately, the search was fruitless.
Lin Man'er was very angry and asked the divine pet: "Damn, are you lying to me again?" ”
"The master is angry, and his subordinates have never deceived."
"Then why haven't I found the spirit core?"
"Master Mingjian, it must be hiding the spirit core."
"Tell me, where is it hiding?"
"The master forgives the sin, but the subordinates do not know."
After Lin Man'er breathed a sigh of relief, he asked, "Where do you dryads usually hide their spirit cores?" ”
"Back to the master, the location of the hidden spirit core of different dryads is also different. However, subordinates can confirm that its spirit core is under the root of the tree. ”
Lin Man'er scratched the back of her head with some annoyance and asked, "Then why can't I detect it with my divine sense?" ”
"Returning to the master, according to the guesses of his subordinates, it should have used some special method to evade the detection of your divine sense."
Lin Man'er thought about it for a while and felt that it made sense. Just, how to solve this problem now? At this moment, the female pangolin admonished: "If it doesn't work, let's withdraw first!" Otherwise, if it drags on any longer, it will be discovered by the old tree. ”
As soon as they finished speaking, they saw the roots of the old tree approaching them. The mother pangolin was shocked, and decisively abandoned Lin Man'er and fled for her life alone.
Lin Man'er was so angry that he grinded his teeth, but the current situation no longer allowed him to turn back. In desperation, Lin Man'er held the sword in both hands, turned the aura to converge on the sword body, and then stabbed at the spirit core of the old tree.
Sure enough, the spirit core was fake, not only did it not shatter, but it bit Lin Man'er's death sword to death. At the same time, more than a dozen thick tree roots crossed each other, like a cage and buckled towards Lin Man'er.
Lin Man'er was in a hurry, broke the death sword, and took the opportunity to rush out of the ground. However, the foliage whip and bark shield of the old tree have been waiting for a long time.
"Boy, this king has no intention of killing you, but you have come to provoke you several times, is it really true that this king will not kill?"
Lin Man'er flicked his wrist, and the broken mourning sword reunited with an irresistible force. After that, the sword pointed at the old tree and scolded: "You old tree spirit, don't think I don't know your mind." If you really wait for you to advance to the third-order tree king, how can you allow me to live. ”
Lao Shu was first surprised by Lin Man'er's mourning sword reunion, but when it heard what Lin Man'er said, he laughed and said, "That's right, after this king is promoted, he still needs to use your head to pave a way. ”
"Humph! If you want my head, then I will kill you first. After speaking, he urged the sword qi to attack the trunk of the old tree. The old tree first fended off with a bark shield, and then attacked with a leaf whip.
Lin Man'er did not choose to use the Thousand Miles Wind Chasing Technique to dodge, but found the right time and jumped up with the long whip of the leaves stepping on the wind. Immediately after, he unleashed a Wind Slash, instantly cutting off a leaf whip. It's a pity that the leaf whip is not afraid of slashing.
The Old Tree King used his demonic power to gather the long whip again and control the bark shield to restrict Lin Man'er's movements. Lin Man'er urgently turned the thunder aura, and then, with the help of the power of the mourning sword, he split the bark cage that had not been closed in time. After that, he used the Thousand Miles Wind Chasing Technique to fly into the air.
The old tree king couldn't attack him, so he made a provocative remark: "Boy, you'd better run away now." Otherwise, in four hours, the king will be promoted. At that time, even if you fly into the sky, this king will be able to knock you down. ”
Lin Man'er stroked the body of the Mourning Sword and sighed: "In order to kill you, an old tree spirit, I have to take a few years of life, it's really not worth it." ”
After hearing this, the old tree king sneered: "You can kill this king even by yourself?" Scold... This is really the biggest joke that this king has ever heard. ”
Lin Man'er laughed, held the mourning sword in his hand, and urged the sealed Yuan Ying with all his might. I saw that the aura gushed out like a river, and all of it converged on the sword body. Immediately afterwards, Lin Man'er urged the blood burning spell again, extracting the essence blood full of nearly three years of life, and blessed it on the mourning sword.
At that moment, the broken body of the Mourning Sword was entangled with purple electric sparks, making a crackling sound. Moreover, as the sword qi continued to converge, gusts of wind suddenly blew around, rolling up the rubble and falling leaves, and destroying many surrounding trees.
When the old tree king saw this scene, he was terrified, and urged the spirit core with all his strength, and defended it with a giant bark shield.
After Lin Man'er accumulated his sword momentum to an almost uncontrollable level, he swung his sword down, prompting an enhanced version of the landing thunder.
I saw that the sword qi swooped down, destroying all the giant shields of the Old Tree King with a devastating momentum. Moreover, the sword continued to weaken, and cut the old tree king in half from the crown along the trunk to the root.
Lin Man'er breathed a sigh of relief, flew down, and was about to collect the spirit core, but saw three leaf whips waving head-on. Lin Man'er couldn't dodge and was thrown away by the long whip.
The next moment, I heard the old tree king say angrily: "Ignorant child, are you really the king's ten thousand years of cultivation as an ornament?" ”
Lin Man'er stood up with difficulty, stared at the Old Tree King, and cast the Seven Evil Soul Suppression Technique. The old tree king still carried the pain of the primordial god, and attacked Lin Man'er with a leaf whip. Lin Man'er was forced to suspend the Seven Evil Soul Suppression Technique and turned around to flee for his life.
However, the old tree king actually rose from the ground, with a huge body, and chased and killed Lin Man'er. Lin Man'er roared angrily and turned around desperately.
It was at this point that the unexpected happened. The Old Tree King suddenly let out a wail and fell to the ground. It didn't take long for the originally verdant leaves to seem to have come to the end of their lives, beginning to wither and wither.
Lin Man'er didn't understand what was going on, and asked the divine pet. The pet told him that this was a sign of the destruction of the Dryad Core. After Lin Man'er heard this, he immediately unfolded his divine sense, and sure enough, he found the female pangolin hidden underground.
"Do you think I can't find you?"
The female pangolin burrowed out, holding something like a "heart" in her mouth. Obviously, that was the spirit core of the Old Tree King.
Lin Man'er stretched out his hand and said sharply: "Bring it!" ”
The mother pangolin did not return it, but took the opportunity to discuss cooperation. Lin Man'er's eyes showed a fierce light, and it seemed that there were signs of sword at any time.
The mother pangolin stayed where she was, and her divine sense said: "Your Excellency Sword Immortal, please calm your anger, Xiao Wang did not flee with you before, but waited for an opportunity to help. ”
However, Lin Man'er only has two words - bring it!
The mother pangolin handed over the spirit core and said again: "In order to express Xiao Wang's respect for you, you account for sixty percent of the harvest of cooperation." ”
"Ninety percent!" Lin Man'er said in an unquestionable tone.
The mother pangolin was not angry, but begged: "Your Excellency Sword Immortal, can you give an extra two percent for the sake of the child?" ”
After Lin Man'er heard this, she was a little hesitant in her heart. The mother pangolin took the opportunity to bow her head and promised to go all out to serve Lin Man'er in the future.
Lin Man'er's heart softened and promised seventy-three points.
