When the heat comes, trees grow faster. As if the tree was full of springs, branches slanted out, spreading in all directions unscrupulously, like horned dragons dancing wildly.
Such hot temperatures make trees grow wildly, making people extra anxious, and also evaporate the water vapor in the air.
There was no moisture in the surrounding environment, and even the bark of the big tree formed by the sword technique was burnt brown.
This damn climate...wouldn't it be a pity not to set a fire?
Deputy Chi glanced at Tang Zhao, raised the wine gourd and drank a few sips. The smell of wine leaked slightly, and there was a danger of a fire.
"puff--"
A breath of wine breath was sprayed out, and it was already filled with sparks, and it poured onto the big tree with a bang.
At the same time, Tang Zhao drew his sword and swung it out, and the stream of light instantly rose into the sky.
The light penetrates diagonally from bottom to top, inserting into the lush leaves.
The moment he took action, Tang Zhao wanted to try to directly penetrate the bark of the tree with sunlight like a sword, thus damaging the foundation of this swordsmanship. It is more efficient to attack the heart directly than to let the fire burn slowly.
But it turned out that he was overthinking. Even if he condenses the light to the extreme and consumes the sword energy as fast as fire, he cannot damage the bark of the tree at all.
There is indeed a world of difference between swordsmanship and swordsmanship. Although the power of swordsmanship will gradually increase through continuous practice and the accumulation of sword energy, swordsmanship is swordsmanship and cannot be easily defeated by swordsmanship.
But when the sunlight is concentrated to a certain point, although it may not cause enough damage, it does bring high temperatures.
And spirits are flammable!
Wine, trees, sunshine, and heat all come together to ignite almost instantly.
call--
Clusters of flames burned on the big tree. In the blink of an eye, there were clumps in the east and west, covering the surface of the tree, as if there were large and small flame pimples on the bark.
It's just that although the flames burn fiercely, they only stay on the surface. Tang Zhao could see clearly that it was not so much the bark that was burning, but the wine slurry on the surface of the bark that was burning. After the deflagration, the bark smeared with wine burned dry, and the flame was naturally extinguished. The clean bark next to it could not be burned at all.
As for the two swordsmen competing in the clouds, no one glanced down. It seemed that they didn't know what little moves the two swordsmen at their feet made. Maybe a swordsman doesn't need a swordsman in the first place.
On the other hand, the outer array forest was too dry and hot, and was easily ignited by flying sparks. Several fires had already started, and the flames were blazing, adding more heat to the air.
Just now Deputy Chi scolded Zhou Chengzhi for setting fire to the mountain, and now it was the turn of the two inspectors to set fire to the mountain.
"It seems that this big tree is not combustible." Deputy Chi was originally not optimistic about Tang Zhao's intervention in the swordsman fight. "Although trees can catch fire, the tree formed by this swordsmanship may not be called a tree. It may even be It's a sword elephant. Our method of setting fire seems to be ineffective."
This Shangzhu Kingdom is known as the Shangzhu Kingdom. When the summer heat came, both Tang Zhao and Deputy Chi thought it was a sword elephant, just like Deputy Chi's sword elephant smelled of alcohol. But now it seems that his sword The meaning may be "growth", so it is also appropriate that the sword image is a tree.
If it is a sword elephant, then this big tree is probably beyond its own physical properties and can basically do whatever it wants.
Tang Zhao shook his head and said, "Maybe the flames are not good enough?"
…
The fire was started just now, using high temperature and the smell of alcohol, which is ordinary fire. Maybe a better flame should be used.
Tang Zhao reached out and took out a short sword. The sword was more than a foot long, and the blade seemed to be burning with flames.
"Ah... isn't this?" Deputy Chi was surprised and reached out to touch his evidence bag.
Tang Zhao said: "Well, it's the Lihuo Sword. It's the magic weapon of that sword."
It's a coincidence that for all the years Tang Zhao had obtained this magical weapon, he never thought that the real sword had a swordsman, and he was also a turtle bandit.
When Tang Zhao saw the Suzaku pressing toward the ground from a distance, he thought it looked familiar, and thought that he had also released the trumpet of will in the Taoist temple on the mountain. He guessed that the redhead was holding the sword he had expected before. Finally, I took Zhou Chengzhi down and saw that it was really the Lihuo Sword.
The True Li Fire Sword is twice as long as the magical weapon, close to the length of an ordinary sword, but the fire energy contained in it is exactly the same as the Li Fire Magic Artifact. Gui Kou was very creative and even equipped the young Shangzhuguo with an ancient sword.
Deputy Chi touched the bag. The sword of the red-haired Shang Zhuguo was now lying quietly in the evidence bag. Because its swordsman was still alive, it was not dim. You could still see the flame-like lines on it, and said : "It's a pity that you already have a sword. Otherwise, this sword would be suitable for you."
Tang Zhao smiled. He no longer cared about it. Not to mention that he already had the most suitable sword. Even if he had this precious Lihuo sword in his hands for many years, he would rarely have the opportunity to use it with his true form. When they appear, they are all trying to hold the Yanggu sword. The sun is a star that lasts forever. How can it be compared to a mere fire?
But today is an exception, Lihuo Sword reappears.
"Swordsmanship - Suzaku Fire!"
Suzaku reappears!
The scarlet divine bird dragged its long flaming tail, emitted a sweet phoenix cry, and suddenly crashed into the towering tree, almost instantly engulfing the tree in flames.
call--
Golden-red flames soared into the sky and enveloped a large section of the tree trunk in an instant. Countless leaves were scorched, curled, and withered in the flames.
efficient!
In the mist, the two swordsmen finally felt something and looked down at the same time.
Seen from the sky, the flames were still spreading upward like a fire tube. Not only was the big tree swallowed, but even the iron ropes attached to it felt burned. The two of them were surprised at the same time - they actually felt a hint of threat outside of each other.
"Damn you little thief -" Shang Zhuguo was about to swing down his sword when he heard a "hey" from the other side, but it was the young swordsman who had been confronting him for a long time who looked at him.
The two of them are now in a highly tense confrontation. Although they are not covered with Gang Qi like Sanren, their sword energy is flowing at a high speed, supporting their sword skills and defending themselves. If there is a slight difference, the other party will take advantage of it. Therefore, Xing Ji clearly warned the other party that he would take action, and Lao Shang Zhuguo did not dare to move.
But he could still use his swordsmanship without moving.
You can see that the giant tree starts from the top, and the bark sheds one layer downwards like a snake shedding its skin. The bark is bifurcated, as if countless petals are hanging upside down.
The petal-like bark quickly peeled downwards, as did the bark that was being burned by the flames. The bark separated from the trunk seemed to be wrapped and rolled up, completely enveloping the flames inside, making it airtight. In the blink of an eye, the seemingly arrogant Li Huo was rolled up and thrown aside.
…
Nothing is left.
To be honest, Tang Zhao was a little dumbfounded.
His Lihuo is not unpowerful. In order to cause damage to the swordsman, he also used all his strength to attack. Suzaku was stronger than the first time he used it. He also had the advantage of attribute restraint. Unexpectedly, the opponent didn't even blink. It was handled easily.
This is the difference between the swordsman's swordsmanship and the swordsmanship in the magic weapon.
No matter how powerful the magic weapon is, it is only a tool to preserve the swordsmanship. It can only reproduce the swordsmanship in a rigid manner, and it is difficult to change it at will. It seems more powerful and flexible than a magic weapon, and can even be easily manipulated, but it is still a dead thing.
If the magic on the magic weapon is a trace or a photo of the swordsmanship, then the magic on the magic weapon is a section of the swordsmanship. The people in it seem to be alive, but it is just a repetition and not really alive.
This is why even if they have abundant energy, it is still difficult for a mortal holding a variety of magic weapons to compete with a swordsman. And it is difficult for a swordsman holding a magical weapon to truly fight against a swordsman.
It was only after Tang Zhao became a swordsman that he discovered that the way he used to hold the weapon was very rigid, too much like a mortal fighting with a magic weapon, which was a waste of natural resources. That is to say, the sword in the sword manual is too powerful and the realm is crushing, and the sword master's sword is strong enough to suppress the swordsman, so that he can win by chance. For example, he combined his experience as a swordsman and thought about overturning his own fighting model. If he were to hold the Yanggu Sword and the Kun Sword now, he should be able to easily kill his original self in an instant.
Now he was even more convinced that even with a swordsman's thinking, the swordsmanship of using those famous swords was too crude. There is still a long way to go before we can truly achieve the state of one sword being like a hundred swords through "pretending to hold", and let the original fairy swords and holy swords come back to the world.
The only thing that is more convenient now is that after becoming a swordsman, his body has undergone a transformation and he can already wield the sword while imitating it.
Is it possible to suppress the swordsman with the power of the sword, just like suppressing the swordsman with the sword technique?
Seeing several rolls of bark-wrapped flames falling on the ground, Tang Zhao and Deputy Chi immediately moved away quickly. These fires had not been extinguished yet. Who knew whether the bark rolls would be like jars, able to preserve the flames for a long time until they were used as weapons to smash into the ground. on their heads. In fact, the best way is to use great force to kick these trees into the surrounding forest fires, and simply burn them all. However, the risk of this contact was too high. Tang Zhao and Deputy Commander Chi did not dare to act rashly, so they had to escape by themselves.
But then, Tang Zhao realized something was wrong.
Buzz——
Is there any sound, vibrating?
The vibration made a buzzing sound. Although it was very small, the frequency was extremely high, which was so penetrating that it made people's ears numb.
The sound seemed very close, but also seemed very far away, separated by a thick barrier...
Under the ground!
Tang Zhao felt numb in his heart and jumped up almost instantly, almost somersaulting into the forest fire.
Buzz——
A huge ugly insect emerged from the soil and slammed into Tang Zhao.
Tang Zhao turned around almost in the blink of an eye and looked at the body of the insect that had passed by. The insect was bigger than Tang Zhao's body.
What the hell?
At a glance, Tang Zhao saw that there was another one on the side of Deputy Chi. It was as ugly as the one on his side. It had a withered yellow body and looked like a larvae. It was much uglier than ordinary flesh worms. It brushed against the two sides. The person did not look back and hung directly on the tree. A pupa forms.
Not only the two of them, but also many insects crawled out of the soil and clung to the branches of the giant tree that had just shed its skin.
In the blink of an eye, a pupa as big as a human body hung on the giant tree.
"That's -" Tang Zhao felt his scalp tingle at the sight, "Is it a demon? No, it doesn't look like it. Instead, it's something like a tree..."
Suddenly, there was a soft cracking sound.
A black gap opened on the back of those pupae.
Countless ugly heads with compound eyes protruded from the pupae, staring at Tang Zhao and the others from all directions.
Followed by a green body and wrinkled wings.
"In the soil...in summer...there are singing cicadas!"
