Chapter 1940 Walking through the mountains and forests
The corpse tree is not very intelligent, but it is a living monster after all, and it has a strong appetite for food. Foreign humans or monsters must come in droves for the spiritual objects. Even if the Thousand Cherry Blossom Soul Plants are of no use to the corpse tree, if you stay near these spiritual plants, you won't have to worry about no prey coming.
Zhu Qi is not stupid, so he naturally knows the possible dangers of looking for the corpse tree. It's just that in this Hanging Corpse Ridge, in addition to the corpse tree, there is also an extremely terrifying ghost butterfly tree. Once attacked, the tree will release a swarm of ghost saliva butterflies, which is extremely difficult to deal with. Moreover, this ghost butterfly tree is not low in intelligence and extremely vindictive. Once someone is grudged, unless they are completely killed in Hanging Corpse Ridge, they will be troubled by the Ghost Butterfly Tree's revenge.
The corpse tree has the ability to change shape. It usually dresses up as a ghost butterfly tree, but will return to its original shape when it gets angry. If Lu Xiaotian and the wild boar demon plan to continuously attack the surrounding trees to test whether they are corpse trees, this method will not work at all. You can only be extremely careful when walking on the corpse-hanging ridge, and be as alert as possible to sneak attacks from the corpse-topped tree.
Fortunately, this Ghost Butterfly Tree draws on the spiritual power of the underground and the ubiquitous Tomb Evil, and does not like to eat flesh and blood like the Corpse Tree. Unless he is attacked, he will not take the initiative to attack other people or monsters.
Lu Xiaotian and the wild boar demon walked cautiously among the mountains, especially when passing by the forest.
During this period, there were also some other monsters that appeared in the jungle. Along the way, I saw several corpses hanging on the top of the trees, and I also saw several monsters captured by the corpse tree. We also saw a dead woodthorn bird digging holes in several trees in an attempt to find its nest. When it hit a tree, who would have expected that it turned out to be a ghost butterfly tree. The tree trunk exploded, and a large number of ghost-faced wood-grained demon butterflies flew out. The ghost-faced wood-grained butterflies spilled a large amount of colorless and odorless powder when they flapped their wings. Mo, directly poisoned the emerald-green woodthorn bird to death.
It’s just that Hanging Corpse Ridge is dangerous and unusual, but there are many spiritual creatures in it. It is undisputed. At least Lu Xiaotian and the wild boar demon have seen a lot of spiritual plants along the way, many of which are monks of the Divine Void Realm. Use it to practice diligently. Physical cultivation is similar to that of ordinary monks. As for the low-level monsters in the God Transformation Realm, there are even more. In order to advance, there are naturally many humans and monsters who dare to take risks.
“There are quite a few spiritual creatures there.” The wild boar demon pointed at a small clump of spiritual plants in the dense forest in the distance, his eyes shining brightly.
“Find a way to get the Thousand Cherry Blossom Soul Grass first. It’s not a good habit to go around here and there.” Lu Xiaotian shook his head. He naturally had selfish motives when he said this. Compared with the Thousand Cherry Blossom Soul Grass, those The spiritual plants used by monks in the Divine Void Realm are already useless to Lu Xiaotian's current realm. If you just take it in your spare time, that's it. There are more important things now, so Lu Xiaotian naturally doesn't want to waste too much energy here.
"Okay, listen to Brother Lu." Zhu Qi nodded. Lu Xiaotian was the leader. Naturally, he didn't have much say in this matter.
"Besides the pair of fire hammers, do you have any other magic weapons?" The demonic fire on the pair of fire hammers is also powerful, but the hammers are not as powerful as expected when used against the tough corpse tree. .
"There is also a pure gold stick, which is worse than the pair of hammers." The wild boar demon scratched his head and smiled. "Okay, stay a while and be more alert. If there is a chance, I will drag the corpse tree. If you have the chance, attack the trunk or get the spiritual plant." Lu Xiaotian nodded. Walking with a wild boar demon in a dense jungle, in a place like this, if you are flying in the air and encounter a demon bird above, but there is still a corpse tree guarding you below, you will definitely be in an embarrassing situation. Lu Xiaotian and the two had to be careful again and again when they walked to a dusty ground. There were many thick and exposed yellow-brown tree roots on the ground. Lu Xiaotian and the wild boar demon were four or five feet apart.
Suddenly, with a crash, the crown of a big tree fell down. Countless branches whipped down like sharp whips. Lu Xiaotian raised his eyebrows slightly, Fang Tian's painted halberd appeared in his hand, and the arcs cut by Fang Tian's painted halberd flew away. The branches that were struck were knocked back one after another, and the younger branches were cut off directly.
"Good opportunity." The wild boar demon Zhu Qi shouted. Taking advantage of the corpse tree being restrained by Lu Xiaotian, the wild boar demon took the opportunity to use the fire hammer. The fire hammer shot out like a meteor and hit the middle of the corpse tree pole hard. With a bang, the trunk of the corpse tree shook violently, and a dull groan of pain came from inside. Lu Xiaotian took the opportunity to cut down many branches.
Zhu Qi took advantage of his illness, and the pair of fire hammers bombarded the trunk of the tree one after another, causing the tree to tremble violently and wailing one after another. The leaves on it were scattered one after another, and the tree trunk shrank directly towards the ground. The corpse tree, which was originally more than ten feet high, shrunk into a tree stump no more than ten feet high. It's just that after shrinking into a tree stump, the armor formed by the bark on it is extremely hard. This is the corpse tree's way of protecting itself. The Corpse Tree is extremely slow, and once defeated, it is impossible to escape the enemy's pursuit. However, when the corpse tree encounters an enemy that cannot be defeated and suffers a heavy loss, it will automatically enter a state of suspended animation and become a tree stump like this. The stump's defense is extremely high. Attacking with force will yield nothing but a pile of sawdust. Waste mana for nothing. Ordinary people would naturally not do such a thankless thing.
It’s just that the price to pay for the corpse tree’s fake death is not small. When you recover from the suspended animation, your strength will plummet. It’s not unusual for the corpse tree in front of you to fall back to the level of god transformation. .
The wild boar demon Zhu Qi angrily hit the tree stump again and cursed before continuing to move forward with Lu Xiaotian.
With the attitude of not seeking merit, but seeking no faults, Lu Xiaotian and Zhu Qi moved forward extremely slowly. In the middle, he stopped several times to expel the evil spirits that invaded the body. It's just that in this Hanging Corpse Ridge, no matter how careful you are, you can't avoid all dangers. The Corpse Tree is just not very intelligent, but it is not without wisdom at all. After Lu Xiaotian knocked five or six corpse trees back to their stumps one after another, they walked for a peaceful journey. But when they were attacked by the Corpse Tree again, Lu Xiaotian and Zhu Qi realized that the surrounding woods seemed to be collapsing, and the sharp branches were surging forward like the sky and the earth. Zhu Qi was so frightened that he called God to bless him.
Even with Lu Xiaotian's strength as an ordinary monk in the late stage of the Divine Void Realm, he was unable to break out of the encirclement. He swallowed the souls of several Divine Void Realm monsters one after another. With the addition of the Fusion Technique, he cut off a large number of branches one after another. Only then did he take the wild boar demon, who was almost certain to die, to take out three Thousand Cherry Blossom Soul Grasses and cut a bloody path.
There were too many battles along the way. Under the fierce battles between the wild boar, demon and pig seven, the power of the blood gang was exhausted. Lu Xiaotian directly stuffed a pill into Zhu Qi's mouth, controlled a spider puppet to carry the wild boar demon's bulky body, and spent a lot of effort to break out of the encirclement.
