"Hey, what exactly do you want us to help you with? Please explain it clearly."
Ruotao stepped forward at this time and reached out to poke the skinned monster gecko on the forehead. After hearing this, the guy thought about it for a moment, then nodded, then picked up a sharp stone from the side and used it awkwardly. He clenched his paws and began to scratch on the ground.
Qinghuang, Qianxin and other sisters came up to take a closer look, and they all commented: "Is this guy painting?"
"Hahaha, if he is really painting, then this strange gecko will become a spirit."
"It seems to be just graffiti. I can't understand what it's painting." After hearing An Yan's words, Puxing said next to him: "It seems to be a tree, right?"
"Puxing is right." Guan Heng looked carefully at the things painted by the skinned monster guard, and then said: "Hey, are you painting a fruit tree with this kind of fruit?"
"Squeak, squeak, squeak." Seeing that Guan Heng understood what he was drawing, the strange guard nodded repeatedly, then pointed to the northwest, and shook his paws to gesture with everyone. At this time, Qinghuang grabbed He tugged at Guan Heng's sleeve and asked, "Did you understand what it said?"
"Uh, I basically understand." Guan Heng nodded slightly, and then told everyone: "This strange garrison said that a fruit tree he was guarding was robbed, and the perpetrators were the Golden-haired Evil Suan and several other evil beasts. , but later, the other party broke into internal strife..."
After a while, the skinned monster gecko finally made everyone understand what it was about to say. It turned out that it had been guarding this magical fruit tree growing nearby a long time ago.
The tree was adjacent to an underground water source. Although it grew quite luxuriantly and had not produced fruit for many years, the spiritual energy emitted from the tree was enough for the monster gecko to absorb it and make it live a very nourished life.
It’s true that even good things will be targeted by bad guys. The Golden-haired Evil Suan and several of his accomplices took advantage of the skinned monster to go out for a walk, sneaked under the tree, and took out the only one. After picking the spiritual fruit, the strange guard found out about it when he came back, which made him feel very distressed.
I don’t know why, but after losing its only fruit, the fruit tree suddenly began to wither and keep falling leaves, as if its vitality had been sucked away. The strange gecko had no choice but to follow the golden-haired evil suan in desperation.
After that, the monster garrison discovered that these evil beasts were fighting among themselves. The golden-haired evil suan found an opportunity to secretly swallow the fruit, and then escaped. Moreover, this guy also gathered a large group of evil beasts to protect himself, allowing several others to try to The guy who took the fruit back was quite afraid and did not dare to have a direct conflict with the other party.
"Oh, that's it." Hearing this, Qian Xin nodded, and then continued: "We also know what happened after this. We destroyed the evil suan and grabbed the fruit it swallowed."
"Shou Gong, what do you want us to do?" Guan Heng asked. The strange gecko scratched its head, and then gestured to Guan Heng. What it meant was: "You are so capable, can you help me save that fruit tree? If not, I will give up."
"Okay, I'll go with you." Guan Heng said, "You lead the way." Then he winked at everyone: "Come with me."
…
In this way, the skinned monster gecko led the way, leading Guan Heng and everyone through several underground tunnels, turning left and right, and finally came to an underground water source, which was a small tributary of a rapid underground river. , many underground insects and beasts will drink water here.
The strange thing is that if they meet in other areas, the insect beasts will be more or less hostile to each other and even fight. However, around this water source, they are very honest and will not even yell loudly. They each found a place for water, and then left in a hurry.
When passing by the river, some insects and beasts saw Guan Heng and everyone. As soon as they raised their heads, they were frightened by the murderous pressure they released. They hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to take another look.
"It seems that there is a powerful guy sitting near the water source." Guan Heng glanced around and said casually: "Otherwise, these insect beasts would not be so honest."
"That's true." Demon Mandrill said from the side: "Master Guan, do you want me to go and investigate who the other party is?"
"It's not necessary. The other party didn't provoke us, so we don't have to worry about it." Guan Heng shook his head and said, "Don't forget, we are just here to see the fruit tree that the strange guard said. We don't need to do anything else. Pay attention."
After hearing this, the demon mandrill nodded and expressed his praise. At this moment, the strange gecko climbed on the back of the big-nosed beast, signaling it to carry him on its back and climb up the rock wall in front. Normally it would take another route. It was a long way to get to the fruit tree, but now that I had a helper, I had to take the shortcut.
"Hey!" Everyone followed the strange guard and rushed along the rock wall to a huge stone platform several feet above the ground. The tree that the strange guard said was right here.
This tree was about two feet tall, and it looked like something was wrong. Its bark was cracked, its branches were withered, and yellow and rough leaves were everywhere, as if it had lost its vitality.
"Oh, it's something bad." Seeing this scene, Gu Sangnu hurriedly stepped forward in three steps and two steps at a time. She used her wood spirit energy to touch the tree body, "Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh" The spiritual energy enveloped the entire fruit tree, continuously delivering vitality to it.
Gradually, the tree trembled a few times, and the branches no longer withered, but that was all. The tree was far from returning to its normal appearance.
"How could this happen?" Seeing this scene, Gu Sangnu scratched her head and muttered: "I don't understand, I really don't understand."
"Okay, let me take a look."
With that said, Guan Heng had already stepped forward, stretched out his hand to rub the tree, and then said slowly: "It's not that the Mu Xuan spiritual energy you input doesn't work, but that there is something wrong with the inside of the tree. Even if there is spiritual energy entering the tree, it is estimated that it will not work." It won’t have much effect.”
"Huh?!" Hearing this, Gu Sangnu and the other sisters were a little surprised. They said in unison: "Why is it like this?"
"Then we have to look at the 'answer' of this tree." After listening to Guan Heng's words, Gu Sangnu said: "Although this tree has grown for a long time, it has not yet spawned a wood spirit. How do you communicate with it?"
"Hey, you have to use your brain in everything. You have to figure out what's wrong with the fruit tree. You don't have to make it talk. You can try this."
"Swish!" It was too late to say, but soon, Guan Heng suddenly released two streams of spiritual energy, which quickly poured into the body of the fruit tree. Seeing this scene, the ancient mulberry girl, the monster gecko and the other sisters were all wide-eyed. Eyes, intending to see what Guan Heng is going to do.
Only two streams of spiritual energy were seen wandering around inside the tree. After a few breaths, Guan Heng's eyes lit up: "Found it!"
