As the words of those so-called "immortals" fell from the top of the sacred tree, the monks all over the sacred tree became even more crazy.
Those monks who have already devoured the fruits of the sacred tree will naturally not give up and continue to plunder more fruits.
The monks who originally planned to stick to their true intentions gradually began to waver.
If you want to reach the path of immortality, you must either eat a hundred fruits or kill a hundred people in total. Moreover, they must be those who have swallowed the fruits of the sacred tree and regained their cultivation.
According to the meaning of the "immortal" at the top of the sacred tree, there is probably only one choice between these two paths.
Either they are fighting for the fruits of the sacred tree, or they are unable to swallow the fruits and kill the monks who have recovered their cultivation after swallowing the fruits.
And based on the experience these days, it can be inferred that the more fruits you swallow, the more powerful and terrifying your strength will become.
It is obviously several times more difficult to kill these monks who have eaten the fruits of the sacred tree without any cultivation.
From this point of view, eating fruits, restoring cultivation, and competing for more fruits is undoubtedly a relatively simple way to leave here and ascend to the immortal road.
Therefore, most of the monks who were still insisting and would never swallow the fruit easily began to weigh the pros and cons.
Since you can reach immortality, do you have to choose a more difficult path?
……
"It seems that no matter day or night, the fruits of the sacred tree will be born, and the fighting and competition will become more intense."
Duan Lingtian sighed softly and his expression became more solemn.
In the tree hole camp, the bonfire swayed, stretching everyone's shadows extremely long and thin. The occasional jumping sparks and the "cracking" sound of exploding firewood kept echoing in the ears.
Farther away, there were bursts of shrill wails and screams, resounding through the night sky.
In comparison, Ling Feng's camp was relatively quiet and peaceful.
However, this calmness will probably only last until tomorrow morning.
After daybreak, no one can avoid this cruel fight.
"It is not unusual for warriors to fight for fortune and opportunities. But the sacred tree nourishes its fruits with blood and forces all monks to join in this fight. How do you see it? There is evil and viciousness everywhere? Is this a god? Tree, or a tree from hell?”
After all, it was Sima Junting from the Temple of the Witch God who took the lead in breaking the calm.
Along the way of martial arts, it is indeed normal to fight and fight for opportunities and treasures.
But killing to the point of losing humanity, making no distinction between friend and foe, or even killing innocent people indiscriminately, should be treated differently.
In particular, Sima Junting once felt that way. Under the confusion of the fruit of the sacred tree, he actually wanted to kill Duan Lingtian, who had just saved his life.
He was so heartbroken and completely unlike himself.
"But no matter what, if you want to leave this place, you can only choose one of the ways."
Duan Lingtian took a deep breath, "Thankfully there is another way. At least, we are not forced to eat the fruit. But..."
After a pause, Duan Lingtian said in a deep voice: "Everyone must be mentally prepared. The choice we make will be extremely difficult."
There are still seven people left in their team including Ling Feng, Ye Keren's sister and brother, Duan Lingtian, Sima Junting, Zhang Haoran, and Yi Tianxing.
In order for them all to leave this place, they must kill at least the monks who have swallowed a total of 700 sacred tree fruits.
In addition, none of the people present were indiscriminate killers, so it was impossible to casually kill anyone who had eaten the fruit without any bottom line.
The rules of this killing feast are indeed restrictive for those with conscience and bottom line.
"I have an idea."
Ling Feng suddenly spoke, and everyone's eyes immediately turned towards him.
Ye Wuxin narrowed his eyes and stared at Ling Feng, saying: "Oh? Buffalo, what did you think of?"
"Judging from the two rules announced by the voice from the top of the tree, in order to compete for more fruits, those who eat the fruits must fight with other people who also target the fruits. There must be hostility between them. Relationship.
In addition, in order to condense more fruits, those who have eaten the fruits will continue to attack others who have not eaten the fruits, and because those who have not eaten the fruits have no cultivation, they will also be given priority. Selected target. There must also be a hostile relationship between the two.
However, there is no such inevitable hostile relationship between those who have not eaten the fruit and other people who have not eaten the fruit. The targets we need to kill must be people who have eaten the fruit. Therefore, I think we can deal with more and stronger opponents by assisting or rescuing those monks who insist on not swallowing the fruit, and constantly absorbing them as companions to strengthen our own strength. ”
Duan Lingtian's eyes suddenly lit up, "What a great idea!"
The monks who are unwilling to swallow the fruit will be a smaller group and more vulnerable in this fight.
But there is the possibility of win-win cooperation among this group.
Ling Feng was able to immediately find allies who could cooperate by analyzing the relationship between the enemy and ourselves.
This kind of overall view is something Duan Lingtian does not have.
Duan Lingtian nodded, "Junior Brother Shui Han, it seems that you have really awakened."
“I don’t know whether I am enlightened or not.”
Ling Feng shook his head and smiled, "It's just that the vague shadow in my mind seems to be getting clearer and clearer."
"Oh?"
After hearing this, Duan Lingtian's eyelids twitched slightly, "Is that shadow Ling Feng?"
In his opinion, Shui Han absorbed the drop of essence and blood belonging to Ling Feng in the Ling Tian Taoist statue, which meant he had obtained Ling Feng's inherited power.
It is normal for Ling Feng's shadow to appear in his mind.
"I don't know..."
Ling Feng shook his head, "I don't know that Ling Feng... but the shadow in my mind seems to be myself, trapped by countless chains..."
"There are indeed many secrets hidden in you, but the answers to all these can only be revealed after leaving this place. I just don't know if I can survive this time..."
"Bah, bah, bah! Senior Brother Duan, you are the number one among the young generation in our Southern Witch Territory. If you say anything depressing, you won't be able to survive. Aren't we all finished!"
Ye Wuxin spat several times with a look of unlucky look on his face.
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled, a look of determination flashed in his eyes, "That's right! Everyone will definitely be able to leave here alive!"
……
At the same time, on the other side of the sacred tree.
Jiang Xiaofan, Li Bufan, Shenshui Yinji and others did not directly engage in the killing, but also found a relatively hidden place to discuss countermeasures.
"It seems that next, even if I don't want to commit more crimes, I still have to take action."
Jiang Xiaofan sighed softly, "However, if we choose those monks who have eaten more fruits, their hands must have been full of blood. Killing them doesn't have any psychological burden."
"Humph, others are picking on the weak, but you are a good boy. You have to be tough when you come up!"
Yunfu couldn't help but laugh.
"Anyway, they didn't seem to be too cruel after eating the fruit."
Jiang Xiaofan patted his chest, "None of their swords can break through my physical defense."
"Haha..."
Everyone couldn't help but roll their eyes. If they didn't know that Jiang Xiaofan was an honest person, they would probably think that he was deliberately showing off.
But his Xuanwu Hegemony is indeed ridiculously hard.
"I agree with Xiaofan's suggestion, but if you think about it carefully, have you noticed that this sacred tree seems to be growing faster?" Li Bufan said in a deep voice.
"You mean..."
Jiang Xiaofan blinked, "When you put it this way, it's true that not only are there more fruits, but the branches of the trees are becoming more and more numerous and complex."
"That's probably because there are enough nutrients."
Shenshui Yinji said calmly, "Have you not noticed that the bodies of all the dead people will be directly swallowed by the sacred tree? The flesh and blood of so many people is enough to make this tree grow rapidly in a short period of time."
As the leader of the evil cultivator in the past, Shenshui Yinji has been exposed to more evil and sinister secret techniques and secret methods.
This so-called Jianmu Sacred Tree is more like an evil thing from their evil ways.
Shenshui Yinji said coldly: "I'm afraid that from the very beginning, the purpose of attracting monks from all major domains is to let us kill each other here to promote the growth of the sacred tree!" "Then let's put it that way. Come on, is the sacred tree an opportunity for those of us who come here to seek immortality, or are we simply the nourishment of the sacred tree?”
Jiang Xiaofan snorted softly, "I will never stand by and watch this sacred tree cause such trouble to the Xuanling Continent!"
……
The sky is getting brighter.
However, unlike usual, this time, the killing did not end at dawn.
All the monks no longer climbed up, but continued to fight each other.
And as the whole world becomes brighter, it also means that there will be nowhere to hide on the entire sacred tree.
"Get started!"
Ling Feng and his group walked out of the tree hole.
They decided to split into two groups to rescue the monks who were unwilling to swallow the fruits of the sacred tree, and then brought them back to the tree cave camp.
In this environment, only uniting all the forces that can be united is the secret to victory.
Everyone nodded, Ling Feng and Ye Keren were on the same team, and Duan Lingtian was on the other team with Zhang Haoran.
Yi Tianxing and Ye Wuxin stayed to take care of the injured Sima Junting.
They took the tree hole as the center and started searching for targets on both sides.
About an hour later, Ling Feng and the others had rescued five monks and sent them back to the camp.
And just when Ling Feng was about to take the two newly rescued monks back to the camp, the sound of a fierce fight suddenly came to his ears.
Ling Feng's eyelids twitched slightly, then he turned to look at Ye Keren and said in a deep voice: "Sister Keren, take them back, and I'll go over there and take a look!"
Ye Keren looked at Ling Feng intently and finally nodded, "Then be careful."
In the past few days, Ye Keren finally understood that this mysterious man with no cultivation seemed to contain endless power in his body.
To a certain extent, in this environment, even Duan Lingtian is not as tyrannical as him.
"Yeah."
Ling Feng nodded, and immediately touched the ground with one foot, and his body shot out like a cannonball.
Just now, he sensed a very special aura.
It seemed that he was connected with his own blood, but this feeling only flashed for a moment, and then disappeared without a trace.
It's like it's just an illusion.
But Ling Feng still couldn't help but rush in that direction with all his strength.
Because there may be his... relatives there!
Finally, after running at full speed for about half an hour, Ling Feng saw three bloody monks besieging a temporary camp.
There were about ten people in the camp.
None of these people have ever eaten the fruit of the sacred tree.
The most eye-catching among them is a girl with a strange little beast standing on her shoulders, and there is also a pregnant woman with a big belly.
Would such a combination actually take a trip into this muddy water?
Beside the pregnant woman was a handsome-looking man, who was protecting the pregnant woman firmly behind her. He should be her husband.
The three monks who were fighting for the fruit were a man with a beard, a middle-aged woman who still looked charming, and a young man with strong muscles and a burly figure.
Not far away, there was a middle-aged man wearing a strange animal skin jacket, lying on the ground moaning.
Next to him was a man dressed similarly to him, but also with a beard. He supported the middle-aged man and stared at the monks opposite, his eyes filled with hatred.
There was another deep claw mark on the middle-aged man's neck, and blood had stained the ground red.
Not far away, green light flashed, and a sacred tree fruit was about to be condensed!
"Haha, another fruit is about to be condensed! Brother Dou Long, if you kill all these people, at least a dozen more fruits can be produced!"
One of them, a middle-aged man with red eyes, stared at the people in front of him with a ferocious smile, as if they were all dead.
They have all eaten at least twenty fruits of the sacred tree.
The strength at this moment has almost reached the early stage of the ancestral realm!
Maybe they weren't that powerful, but before coming here, they were just ordinary early-stage holy monks.
The more fruits they swallow, the more terrifying their power becomes.
There is no need to survive the tribulation, and the cultivation level has skyrocketed without any bottleneck.
"I'll hold them back!"
Luo Hanzhou shouted loudly, swung the sword in his hand, and directly blocked the claw attack of the monk named Doulong.
Then, with a turn of the long sword, he directly blocked the attack route of the other two monks with his body.
"Fei'er, hold on to your sister and take everyone away first!" Luo Hanzhou growled. There were already many scratches on his body from sharp claws.
At this moment, he was just at the end of his battle.
"No, I will never leave!"
Devela's eyes were red, obviously unwilling to leave her husband.
Du Feier was already frightened at this moment.
If I had known earlier, she shouldn't have been so willful and insisted on climbing the sacred tree, thus involving everyone in such a crisis.
On the other side, Biluo Shengji and Xuanlei Palace Master Lei Wensheng looked at each other, with incomparable determination flashing in their eyes.
"Lin Mu, take your wife and get out of here! Get away as far as you want!"
Biluo Shengji roared and rushed out.
However, she is not good at body refining techniques and has no cultivation base. How can she resist a strong man whose strength is comparable to that of the ancestral realm?
The other party just raised his hand slightly, and a cold light flashed through, and he was about to split the body of Biluo Shengji into two.
However, at this moment, Lei Wensheng swooped out and stood in front of Biluo Shengji.
laugh!
At the same time, blood spilled out, staining Biluo Shengji's cheeks red.
Biluo Shengji felt as if she was struck by thunder. She looked at Lei Wensheng's body and fell into her arms. Her whole body fell into a state of stunned stupor.
Lei Wensheng just raised his hand with difficulty and gently wiped the blood stains on her face, "Bi Luo, after all, I can't accompany you to the end..."
Before he finished speaking, his palm slipped down weakly.
"No! No!!!"
Biluo Shengji's eyes were blood red, and her whole body was shaking violently with pain and anger.
"Hahaha! You are just a loser, but you still want to imitate other people's heroes to save beauty? But this little girl is not bad. You can't bear it. But after a while, I can enjoy it for you! Hehe..."
The three monks on the other side were grinning ferociously, as if they had just crushed an ant to death.
"Beast!"
Luo Hanzhou felt that all the blood in his body was ignited, and he slashed wildly with his sword. Unfortunately, he couldn't get any advantage at all.
On the other side, Rufeng's face turned pale and he was obviously frightened.
After all, she is just a little girl.
Everything she had experienced in the past few days had a huge impact on her immature mind.
And the blood of Lei Wensheng, the master of Xuanlei Palace, seemed to be the last straw that broke her reason.
The next moment, a dark red blood line suddenly condensed on Rufeng's forehead, and strange patterns flickered and floated in his eyes.
That is clearly a sign that the Eye of the Emperor is about to open! (End of chapter)
