Ruotao smiled and said: "No wonder you treat us to delicious fruits. Is this considered a 'bribe' before asking for help?"
"Well, you can say that." The weird tree body said: "Because no living creatures have come here for a long time. If I don't ask you, I may not be saved after waiting for thousands of years."
Hearing this, An Yan nodded and said, "Okay, for the sake of the fruit, let's listen to your request first."
"Thank you very much."
"First of all, in order to express my sincerity, let me show up and meet with you."
"Huh - swish swish -" the moment the words fell, the strange tree body suddenly shuddered a few times, and then, a spiritual energy was swirling in the air with strong wind, and then landed in front of them, turning into a person with only The image of an old man three feet tall.
"Yeah, it's a wood spirit." Ruotao said with a smile: "I have a best sister who is also a wood spirit, so I feel particularly kind to creatures like you."
"Yes, it is precisely because I sensed the extremely pure aura of wood spirits in these two girls that I trust you very much and chose to ask you directly for help."
The old wood spirit said: "Now let me introduce myself again. I am the wood spirit of the 'storage tree' that lives at the bottom of this cave. Hello everyone."
"The wood spirit of the storage tree...?!" After hearing this, Ruotao and An Yan were a little puzzled.
The storage tree spirit smiled and said: "You haven't heard of my existence and it's not new, because wood-type creatures like us have basically disappeared many years ago. I was also a guy from the Yanling Ancient Clan that happened to be By being transplanted here, I was lucky enough not to be destroyed together with the rest of my clan."
"So you still have something to do with the Yanling Ancient Clan?"
"Yes." After hearing Ruotao's words, the storage tree spirit said: "Many years ago, the Yanling ancient people brought me here to work for them."
"Working for the other party, what can you do?"
"Actually, this part of my tree has been modified and can be used as a large storage space. The people of the Yanling Ancient Clan stored their things in my belly."
The storage tree spirit said: "But many years ago, something unexpected happened to this ruins suddenly. Most of the guys from the Yanling Ancient Clan died or disappeared. Other creatures in the ruins were talking about rumors that these guys Maybe he offended some deep-seated monster and provoked the annihilation of his race."
"However, in the end, it's just a rumor. That's it, I can be considered abandoned."
The wood spirit sighed, and then said: "If you leave yourself on the surface and get burned by the fire spirit repeatedly, you will die sooner or later. So out of anger, I dug a tunnel with my own tree roots and hid here."
"Then your choice is not bad. According to our observations on the surface, there is indeed nothing left of the plants on it. They are probably all scorched." An Yan said.
"Well, this decision seemed right at the time, but it also puts me in a dilemma now."
The storage tree spirit said: "The lack of spiritual energy underground has made me weaker year by year, and I no longer have the strength to dig tunnels to return to the surface. In this case, no matter where I am, I will just wait to die."
"Well, that makes sense." After hearing this, Ruotao nodded slightly, and then said, "Then you want us to take you away, right?"
"Yes." The storage tree spirit nodded, and An Yan said, "Your tree is so huge, we can't get it away."
"It doesn't matter, you just need to take away my 'spiritual root core'." The storage tree spirit explained: "As long as the core is planted in a place with water, my tree body will quickly return to its original shape after absorbing the wood spirit energy. appearance."
"By the way, how about I also give you the things in the tree space that the Yanling Ancient Clan didn't have time to take away? I won't need them anyway, so I'm happy and relaxed."
"Okay, then it's decided." Ruotao nodded in agreement, but at this moment, a series of loud noises suddenly came from the nearby area: "Boom-boom-boom-"
"What's going on?" Hearing this, the green-haired skinny rat, black falcon, ground python boss, and yellow raccoon leader all became a little nervous.
"It's 'those guys'. I didn't expect them to come again." Hearing the storage tree spirit's words, Ruotao asked, "Who are they? Do you still know them?"
"Yes, the opponent is some evil spirits that live underground. They will control the minds and bodies of the underground beasts and drive them here."
Mu Ling said: "They just want to seize the core of the spiritual root in my tree body, and then devour it to increase their own power. No matter where they go, there is no shortage of fools like this. They have been repelled by me many times, but they still want to come here to seek misfortune. "
"Hahaha, that's right." Ruotao and An Yan were both amused by its words, and then they both said, "Well, let's take care of it for you."
"Thank you very much." The storage tree spirit said: "In addition, I need Skinny Rat, Black Falcon Ground Python and Yellow Fox to stay and help me to take out the spiritual root core intact."
"Okay, Skinny Rat, you all stay."
"Yes, Miss Ruotao."
"An Yan, let's go." Ruotao said, took An Yan's hand and ran forward.
After a few breaths, the two of them arrived at the place where the loud noise came from. An Yan looked left and right and said, "Strange, why didn't you see anything?"
"Clark la la..." Suddenly, Ruotao felt some slight cracks on the ground under her feet, so she shouted loudly: "Be careful, they are coming from the ground!"
"Boom!" "Boom!" It was too late to say, but at that moment, just as the two of them jumped up, the ground was suddenly smashed by something, and it roared and rushed toward the two women. Come.
"How dare you sneak attack us, you are seeking death!"
"Shua! Click!"
The next moment, Ruotao's thunder-swallowing blade slashed hard from top to bottom, and a blood mark immediately opened between the opponent's eyebrows, "Pfft!" The guy shook his body slightly, and his body suddenly turned red and was divided into two pieces of corpse, and then He fell to the ground with a plop, and it turned out to be an underground demon wolf.
"Huh--" In the lightning flash, an evil spirit emerged from the beast's corpse, and Ruotao roared: "You evil beast, don't even think about escaping!"
"Shua chi chi!" The thunder-swallowing blade in her hand suddenly spun sharply, creating a wind pressure that trapped the evil spirit. No matter how much the other party screamed and struggled, it was still crushed into nothingness in an instant.
"Pah!" An Yan landed with her feet on the ground, and then shouted: "There seem to be a lot of them. It would be more convenient to draw them all out at once."
"Yeah, that's right."
"Bang!" The moment he finished speaking, Ruotao kicked another evil wolf beast, and then said: "Let's go, find a commanding height nearby, and then attract the other party to it."
