The bark of the immortal tree itself is not rough, on the contrary it looks very smooth, Su Anran and others can even see their own blurred reflections from it, a bit like an unpolished bronze mirror in ancient times.But when you touch it with your hand, it is very dry, and even has a strange grainy feeling, but the bark of the old tree doesn't seem to have any grains at all.
Su Anran didn't understand these things, and it could only be attributed to the peculiarity of this illusion.
The branches and leaves of the Everlasting Tree are very lush, and the branches are about eight meters above the ground. The dense leaves even cover the range of five or six diameters into the range of shadows.It's just that at this time, these leaves have a large area of withering and yellowing. Obviously, the extinction of the butcher's vitality just now has no effect on the immortal tree. It's just maybe because of the distance, or maybe the immortal tree is very miraculous. Species are therefore not directly destroyed.
The distance of eight meters is not too difficult for Su Anran and others.
It probably only takes one borrowing to get up the tree easily.
Su Anran jumped forward, and then lightly stepped on the tree trunk to borrow strength, and successfully climbed onto the branch and got into the bushes.
According to Yaoshen's description, the Shenhai Immortal Vine that Su Anran is looking for is the companion of the Shenhai Immortal Fruit.The Shenhai immortal fruit usually grows at the top of the immortal tree, where all the essence of the immortal tree gathers, and it is also the place where the immortal tree is exposed to sunlight all the year round.
Even, because of the special climate of Leichi Water Lake, when the Doomsday Sea is in a period of rage and the Illusion Divine Sea is completely sealed off, there will be thunder and lightning falling here all the year round.A large number of lightning strikes fell on the immortal tree, which basically gathered at the top, so it provided the immortal tree, or the immortal fruit of Shenhai, with a lot of lightning breath—just like crossing the catastrophe. After the baptism of thunder and lightning, the Immortal Fruit of the Divine Sea will more or less be contaminated with the breath of this kind of power.
The pure yang aura of thunder and lightning can not only destroy the soul, but at the same time it is a special power that can nourish the soul.
This is probably the so-called extremes must be reversed.
Su Anran climbed all the way to the highest point, and he didn't encounter any danger on the way.
This matter went so smoothly that Su Anran found it incredible.
Because according to the principle that divine objects must have guardians, treasures such as the Immortal Fruit of the Divine Sea and the Immortal Vine of the Divine Sea must be guarded by powerful monsters or ferocious beasts nearby.But even after Su Anran picked the first Shenhai Immortal Fruit, he was still not attacked by any monsters or beasts, which made Su Anran start to wonder if he had picked a fake natural treasure?
But no matter what, it was an agreement between him and Master Xuan Bei, so he quickly finished picking the two immortal fruits of the Divine Sea.
The so-called Shenhai Immortal Fruit is a bit like an apple.
The whole body is bright red, the skin is smooth, and there is a faint lavender light on it.
This is the performance of Shenhai Immortal Fruit absorbing the pure thunder power - the immortal tree will bear fruit every 30 years, and each time there must be only two fruits, and then after another 30 years, Shenhai Immortal Fruit will truly mature. The power of thunder and lightning that was originally absorbed due to the fruit after the fruit began to dissipate, and then it began to gradually restrain itself, until in the end, just like the two immortal fruits in Su Anran's hands, only a trace of lightning power was left from time to time. The force is flickering.
If no one picks the fully ripe Shenhai Immortal Fruit within ten years, it will automatically fall off due to overripeness and melt into the ground to become the nutrient of the immortal tree.
The arrival of Su Anran and others this time is just right - all the power of lightning has been completely absorbed by the Shenhai Immortal Fruit, but it has not yet reached the level of overripe: the medicinal effect of the Shenhai Immortal Fruit is the most effective at this time. good time.
After carefully picking the two Shenhai Immortal Fruits and putting them into the storage bag, Su Anran took out a blood-red knife, and then scratched off the top buds of the Immortal Fruits of the Immortal Tree. .
With the swing of the blood-red knife, the tree of immortality, which was supposed to be unafraid of any weapon or magic weapon, suddenly began to shake all its branches and leaves.
It was originally a windless environment, but at this moment it suddenly began to shake, and even made a whining sound like the wind blowing.
It sounds like the tree of immortality is crying.
"What's the matter?" Qingyu, who was standing under the old tree, suddenly shouted because she couldn't see Su Anran's situation covered by the leaves.
"It's okay." Su Anran replied loudly.
Because the injuries of Qing Yu and the others had not completely healed, Su Anran was the only one who went up the tree to pick at this time.
To some extent, this facilitates Su Anran's actions.
After Su Anran responded to the sapphire, she shook the rune blood sword in her hand, and said coldly: "Give me a piece of immortal vine, at least three meters, or I will find it myself... But if you want Think clearly, what will happen if I do it myself."
While talking, Su Anran handed the blood-colored rune sword to the body of the immortal tree, lightly tapped the bark with the tip of the dagger, and made a "beep—beep—" sound like hitting leather.
Being tapped so lightly by Su Anran, the branches and leaves of the immortal tree seemed to shake even more violently.
"I don't have much patience." Su Anran was not moved at all, and directly used the knife to stab into the tree of the immortal tree again.
Immediately, silver-white viscous liquid began to flow out from the place pierced by the bloody knife.
Just like the human body will bleed when it is injured, if the immortal tree is injured, it will also bleed out sap similar to blood.
The blood-red knife in Su Anran's hand is a special tool given to him by Miss Yaoshen, and it is only effective against certain plants with soul consciousness - when it attacks plants, the stinging sensation also hurts. It will directly affect the soul of this kind of spiritual plant itself.And if a living plant is stabbed by this blood-red knife, its soul itself will also be swallowed and absorbed by this knife.
Hence, this blood-red pocket knife has a name.
Soul Eater Dagger.
The Everlasting Tree happens to belong to the category of this "spiritual plant"—although it doesn't show it, the Everlasting Tree does have self-awareness.
Lingzhi, who has already been born with a soul like this, will naturally transform into a monster after a period of evolution.
Su Anran didn't know whether it was because the Lei Chi Shui Ze obstructed the laws of heaven and earth, or because this kind of thing that was born in the special environment of the Illusory Sea of God had its own defects, so it seemed that the tree of immortality never turned into a monster.It's just that it has self-awareness and certain communication skills, which is true.
"You don't need to expect any monsters to save you, I think you should be able to feel that there is no trace of any living things around you." Su Anran looked at the immortal tree that was still unwilling to hand over the immortal vine, and sneered Then, another wound was drawn on the tree.
This time, the Everlasting Tree shook even more violently.
Since the God of Medicine wants Su Anran to help obtain medicinal materials, she will naturally tell An Anran about the many secrets, weaknesses and precautions about the tree of immortality.
Originally, the immortal tree was inhabited by a group of thin and small monsters. They had a mutually beneficial relationship with the immortal tree. The immortal tree relied on the protection of such monsters to prevent it from being cut down by monks. Monster beasts also take advantage of the particularity of the tree of immortality to catch those greedy prey.
But it's a pity that all these monsters disappeared this time, not even the corpses.
Su Anran guessed that it was very likely that these monsters chose to flee after feeling the power of the butcher.If it wasn't for the old tree without feet, Su Anran felt that the old tree might have escaped long ago.
Of course, this means of protection is not the only one.
The hardness of the bark of the Eternal Tree is itself a means of defense, but it is a pity that the Soul Eater Dagger can easily tear apart the defensive bark that the Eternal Tree is proud of.
Similarly, the sap of the immortal tree also has a certain value.
For human monks, the sap is poison.
But for some monsters, the sap is equivalent to an aphrodisiac, which is enough to make the monsters who smell it fall into a state of excitement and madness.
But it is very helpless that this time, the old tree met Su Anran who played cards unreasonably.
So all its means are useless.
After a few seconds of stalemate with each other, the immortal tree probably resigned to its fate.
So soon, a piece of blue-gray rattan suddenly grew from the body of the immortal tree, and then began to hover around Su Anran's side automatically - this is like going to a store, when the buyer tells the seller these things After planning to give it away, the clerk kindly prepared the gift box and small greeting card for you.
These blue-gray vines grew to about three meters, and then broke immediately, and there was no possibility of an extra point.
Su Anran knew that the Immortal Vine of Shenhai was the core foundation of the tree of immortality, and it was already very easy for it to give three meters instead of Su Anran collecting it naturally.Of course, in reality, if the tree of immortality is not willing to give it by itself, Su Anran doesn't mind doing it herself - in fact, not every monk will communicate with the tree of immortality, most of the monks are after picking the immortal fruit of the sea of gods After that, it will get some other things found from the tree of immortality.
Among them, the method of picking the Immortal Vine of Shenhai by violent means is included.
It's just that such a treatment method will cause the quality of the Shenhai Immortal Vine to be damaged to a certain extent, which is far inferior to that of Su Anran, who can retain the medicinal properties of the Shenhai Immortal Vine to the greatest extent.
After putting away the Immortal Vine of Shenhai, Su Anran could feel that the aura of the tree of immortality became much weaker.
More withered yellow appeared on the leaves.
It seems that to separate the immortal vines of the three meters of Shenhai is also a great burden for the immortal tree. No wonder the immortal tree was unwilling to send the immortal vines at first.It was only because of Su Anran's lust in the end that he had to transfer the three-meter immortal vine, so as to send the plague god away as soon as possible.
After tidying up the Immortal Vine of Shenhai, Su Anran turned around and jumped off the tree.
But before he could open his mouth to greet the others, a sharp piercing sound suddenly sounded.
Su Anran even smelled death!
But at this time, his face was not surprised but happy.
Yeah!
Trying to kill and get more money!Or by means of a sneak attack!
Sure enough, this is the painting style that a monk should have when he breaks into the secret realm!
Chapter 048 The Standard Villain
A sharp piercing sound roared.
A black shadow suddenly appeared in Su Anran's eyes.
He only had time to turn his head slightly, and the black shadow with the sound of breaking the air brushed past Su Anran's cheek.The airflow like a sharp blade cut through the side of Su Anran's face, and a line of blood was clearly visible.
"Truly—"
With a soft sound, the black shadow pierced the body of the Everlasting Tree.
Su Anran glanced at the thing that attacked her with the help of the corner of her eye when she turned her head.
is a feather.
It's just much bigger than ordinary feathers: the feathers are about the size of a palm, the pinnae are slightly thick and wide, the color is as black as ink, and the feather handle is slender but the texture can be clearly seen to be hard.
This is obviously not the feather of a normal creature.
At this time, he even had other thoughts: It seems that this feather is just an ordinary thing, and it is not even as good as the rune knife given to him by Miss Yaoshen. It is not as lethal to the tree of the old tree as his own knife big.
At this point, the impenetrable tree hardly reacted, even without shaking the branches and leaves, it knew that it didn't care about the feathers at all.
Things that cannot be truly lethal to the immortal tree cannot attract the immortal tree's attention, and it is even more impossible to discover the true secret of the immortal tree.
Turning around, Su Anran looked at the three figures that appeared not far away.
The one in the middle is a young man, wearing a long black trench coat, it looks like he is wrapping his whole body with a black curtain.
For some reason, only the word "vulgar" came to Su Anran's mind.
The other two who followed him, the one on the left also wore a "curtain", but the color was taupe, and they were relatively older, looking like a middle-aged man.
But Su Anran knew the person on the right.
Duan An from Shenyuan Villa.
He didn't die? ——This was Su Anran's first reaction.
Then, he turned his head to look at Qingyu who was sitting beside the immortal tree.The latter also had a dazed look on her face, but her face was quickly replaced by an angry look, she stood up quickly with a cold face, and took advantage of the moment she stood up, cleverly swallowed a elixir. True Qi began to surge rapidly, obviously accelerating the catalytic effect of the medicine.
"Zhou Peng." Qingyu's voice was a little cold, and her expression seemed very normal, but Su Anran had an intuition for no reason, this woman was really angry this time, "It seems that all my friends died because of you hands."
"Except for Lin Qing, everyone else died at my hands, but he won't live long. You can rest assured that I promised them when I killed them, and I will send you there soon to continue to be their saint." Girl." The black-clothed man in the center did not deny it, and his face looked very calm, as if he had already eaten everyone present, "Hand over the fruit of youth, and I will spare your life."
The last sentence was addressed to Su Anran.
Hearing this, the smile on Su Anran's face became wider, and she was even a little excited in her heart.
So Su Anran turned her head, looked at Qingyu, and said, "Who is this person, he seems to be older than you?"
"Zhou Peng of the Beiming Clan, his grandfather is the Jinpeng Demon King among the Eight Kings of the Demon League." Qingyu said lightly.
Zhou Peng, on the other hand, seemed to be cooperating with Qingyu's introduction, and looked down at everyone present with a proud face.
The small excitement in Su Anran's heart quickly turned into a big excitement.
This is the third generation of immortals!
I am familiar with this plot!
A typical villain of the third generation of immortals forcibly kills and steals goods!
This is the painting style of cultivating immortals I want!
However, in Zhou Peng's eyes, Su Anran's excited expression became a symbol of his fear.
So Zhou Peng's expression became even more proud: "Hurry up and hand over the elixir, and I can spare your life."
Su Anran glanced at the other party, and then asked, "What if I don't pay?"
"No?" Zhou Peng, the man in black, seemed to have heard some funny joke, and suddenly laughed, "Then you don't want to leave the Sea of Illusions alive."
Su Anran lightly bumped the sapphire with her elbow, and then said: "His grandfather is only one of the Eight Kings, and your grandmother is still the Great Sage of Nine Tails. They don't even have a Great Sage in their family. Why is their temper worse than yours?" How old is he? People who don’t know think he is the child of the Dragon King.”
They are also three generations of immortals, but why is there such a big gap between the child of the great saint family and the child of the demon king's family?
Even the children of the Nine-Tails Dasheng family dare not be so arrogant, nor are they so defiant. Why does a mere grandson of the demon king think that he is great?Su Anran really couldn't figure it out, so most of the characters who could only be blamed on the villain's psychology had no brains.
Qing Yu, who was originally pretty and frosty, burst into laughter when she heard Su Anran's words.
This made Qingyu couldn't help but give Su Anran a blank look.
"You're courting death!" Zhou Peng's face suddenly became extremely ugly seeing the two people who looked like no one else.
He suddenly waved his hands and opened the black robe on his body.
At this time, Su Anran saw that the reason why Zhou Peng wore such a long black robe was to hide his ugliness: except for his head and hands, he had not successfully transformed into a human form, and was still in the form of a bird— —It just looks like a bird that has successfully lost weight.
At this time, he waved his hands, and suddenly shot out two black carved feathers from under the opened black cloak and robe.
Just as Su Anran was about to swing the knife, Qingyu beside her raised her right hand.
The pale green radiance suddenly spread out, turning into a green barrier, blocking Su Anran.
The Eagle Feather shot towards it, and the sharp piercing sound was deafening. It was obvious that Zhou Peng's attack method also carried some kind of sonic attack effect.
However, when the two carved feathers crashed into the emerald green barrier cast by the sapphire, they were like feathers falling into the water, completely losing all kinetic energy—as if time had been completely frozen and stagnant, the two carved feathers hung Stopped in the emerald green barrier.
Immediately afterwards, Qing Yu withdrew her hand and returned, and the two carved feathers had already landed in her hands.
