The roots, which were ten and a hundred times larger than the giant whale, twisted painfully, as if they were being greatly stimulated, and the extent of the twisting was like painful twitching.
And Jiang Yue clearly felt that the vitality and spiritual power inside the roots continued to overflow, and then flowed towards him.
Although the extent of this overflow is not exaggerated, at most it can only be described as peeling off the cocoon.
But the whale swallowing technique and the year-eating skills are indeed taking effect, Jiang Yue is very sure of this.
The whale swallowing technique swallows the roots of the strange tree and only swallows its spiritual power. The roots of the strange tree have a well-developed root system and abundant spiritual power. With Jiang Yue's devouring power, even if he were to operate it non-stop for three days and three nights, it would be difficult to cause any fatal damage.
What is really lethal is the skill of eating the year.
Jiang Yue's age-eating skill truly erodes the roots of this vein over time.
The roots of the strange tree evolved day after day and finally reached this level. Jiang Yue's Year Eating skill was equivalent to depriving it of its vitality from the source of time and causing it to degenerate.
Even the roots of the strange tree cannot bear it for a long time.
Looking at its sharp twisting and twitching posture, you can tell that the Year-eating Skill has caused trouble to it, making it feel frightened and fearful, and its instinct is resisting.
And the conspicuous green color on this root is also slowly degrading, and the color gradually becomes lighter, as if the mottled years are accelerating on its surface, depriving it of its annual rings and shortening its life cycle.
The roots of the strange tree were obviously aware of the danger of killing people with this kind of blunt knife, and they became furious and violent.
Its shape began to swing violently, just like the giant Kun sleeping in the depths of the North Underworld was angered and began to overturn the river and sea, stirring up turbulent waves.
The ground began to tremble, and the surrounding soil also shook violently under the swing and squeeze of the roots.
The terrifying squeezing force before became even more intense, squeezing towards Jiang Yue.
Obviously, the roots of the Weird Tree were aware of where the crisis was coming from and knew how to counterattack Jiang Yue in a targeted manner.
This root obviously would not sit still and let Jiang Yue harass and attack him.
The surrounding soil became more and more surging and active, constantly hitting Jiang Yue and jolting his body, making it impossible for him to use his techniques calmly.
And all this was obviously not enough. Jiang Yue clearly felt that from a distant place, the strange tree itself was obviously aware of the strange movement here and began to send power to this root.
The roots that were originally weakened by Jiang Yue, with the support of the strange tree itself, once again became full of vitality and appeared full of vitality.
In this way, the roots of this vein are like a giant dragon in the sea, becoming more active and more violent. As its vitality continues to recover, its attack methods gradually become more diverse.
The roots themselves were like a mountain, crashing towards Jiang Yue.
This kind of terrifying momentum and this exaggerated size are definitely not something that Jiang Yue can handle with his flesh and blood.
Jiang Yue had no choice but to dodge its sharp edge and avoid the root body's attack through dexterous maneuvers.
But the roots obviously have more than this. With the continuous release of its spiritual power, the roots of the trees that were only twenty or thirty meters before seemed to have been summoned by some mysterious ritual, and they continued to extend to these dozens of meters. Hundreds of meters deep underground, Jiang Yue was encircled and suppressed.
Afterwards, a large number of evil monsters came after hearing the news. These evil monsters are obviously very good at working under the ground. The resistance of the soil is completely unable to stop them, just like a school of fish swimming under the water as smoothly and freely as they can.
What surprised Jiang Yue even more was that the root seemed to summon some kind of power from the depths of the ground. There was a very violent movement coming from the depths of the ground, as if an army was about to come out from the depths of the ground at any time. It was just that it was blocked underground by a city wall that Jiang Yue couldn't see, and he couldn't break through for a while.
Just listening to the posture, this army may break through the barrier at any time and cover up the enemy.
For a time, Jiang Yue fell into an ambush from all sides.
Jiang Yue was surprised and knew that his situation was not good. A powerless feeling of regret came over me. It was not easy to find that this year-eating skill had a striking effect on the roots of the strange tree, but it could not stand on other people's territory, and the other party easily came back.
If he doesn't leave, he himself may be trapped in a tight siege.
If he were on the surface world, Jiang Yue wouldn't worry about being surrounded. But this was deep underground, and Jiang Yue couldn't guarantee that he could come and go freely and ignore any encirclement.
If you stay any longer, you will only make yourself passive.
Jiang Yue was determined, gritted his teeth, turned around and left.
When Jiang Yue came, he had already planned the route. He decided to leave. Before the encirclement was formed, he was not worried about being trapped in a tight siege.
However, the roots of the strange tree were obviously not vegetarians. When they sensed that Jiang Yue was about to leave, they were obviously not willing to let this intruder go.
The roots continued to extend, like a precision-guided missile, following Jiang Yue in pursuit. At the same time, he controlled the roots of all the trees and laid a dragnet close to the surface, which was bound to trap Jiang Yue deep underground. at.
Jiang Yue naturally noticed the movement of the strange tree.
He couldn't do anything about the roots of the strange tree because the roots were too big and most of his attacks couldn't be effective. Even the Year Eating Skill and the Whale Swallowing Technique couldn't destroy the opponent in a short time.
But this doesn't mean that Jiang Yue has nothing to do with those trees.
Although the tree roots are also very active, they are like dragons raging underground. But they are just plant roots after all. Even though they were endowed with powerful attack power and tenacity by the strange trees, they were not so strong that even Jiang Yue couldn't do anything to them.
What's more, Jiang Yue can also control evil monsters.
When Jiang Yue approached the surface world, the evil monster he controlled received Jiang Yue's will and frantically attacked the trees.
The roots of the trees were active underground, forming a dragnet to ambush Jiang Yue. But it doesn't mean that their bodies are indestructible.
Under the attack of the evil monster, the trees' bodies were suddenly severely damaged.
But when these trees are severely damaged, no matter how active their roots are, they will naturally be affected by the main body.
The main body has been destroyed, how can it be possible for roots to remain unaffected?
When trees are constantly being attacked, the roots beneath the ground will naturally be stimulated.
More and more roots are stimulated and affected, and the network formed by these intertwined roots will naturally have loopholes.
This kind of dragnet composed of countless tree roots is itself composed of individuals. When it reaches a certain base and there are loopholes, the whole will naturally collapse.
And this kind of collapse gave Jiang Yue the opportunity to rush out of the ground.
What Jiang Yue is best at is looking for such opportunities. He smashed one of the obvious loopholes in one fell swoop, swung away a dozen obviously weak roots, and rushed out of the ground in one go.
On the ground, the trees themselves were destroyed, and the evil monsters around them were controlled by Jiang Yue, clearing many obstacles for Jiang Yue, but instead creating great convenience for Jiang Yue's retreat.
Even though there are still a large number of tree demons on the surface trying to surround them, in this kind of chaos, these tree demons don't know why these evil monsters rebel and turn against the enemy.
The battle situation was chaotic for a while, and it was difficult to distinguish between friends and foes.
This undoubtedly gave Jiang Yue the opportunity to leave calmly.
Jiang Yue jumped out of the surrounding circles and glanced back with some frustration. The ring-shaped walled city is still the same, and the high platform is still the same, but it seems that it has been affected to some extent. The invisible magic circle surrounding the walled city and the high platform seems to have become dimmer, the kind of intimidating power that attracts but does not cause any damage. , also dropped a lot.
Jiang Yue's mind was agitated. Could it be that his attack on the roots of the strange tree still affected this city and this high platform?
For a moment, Jiang Yue didn't have much room to make guesses.
Although I was unwilling to give up on this trip, at this point in the battle, I basically had no more trump cards to play.
If we don't withdraw, we will be bringing disgrace upon ourselves.
When retreating to the periphery, Jiang Yue sent out a signal to look for Sangou.
The signal was sent out several times, but there was no response from Sangou at all. This made Jiang Yue slightly panicked.
I used all my means to look around, but I couldn't find Sangou's perspective at all.
We made an appointment with Sangou to meet in the outer area, but where is Sangou?
If those tree demons and evil monsters were repulsed by Sangou, or if Sangou had no choice but to retreat on his own initiative, Sangou would definitely wait for him where he was.
Jiang Yue felt a little uneasy.
When looking around, they found traces of battles everywhere, and the battle scene was very tragic.
Judging from the traces, many battle traces are indeed very similar to the three dogs' fighting methods.
In other words, Sangou did have a fight with his opponent, and the fight was fierce and the situation was tragic.
Jiang Yue frowned slightly.
Logically speaking, I have made it very clear to Sangou. His mission is to attract these evil monsters and tree charms, hang them up, and lure them away without fighting, buying time for Jiang Yue.
Although Sangou was unruly, Jiang Yue's words would usually not fall on deaf ears. Even if he is as bellicose as Three Dogs, he definitely knows the seriousness of the matter. He would never ignore Jiang Yue's instructions and rashly fight with the opponent.
Not to mention leaving without authorization after the battle.
Could it be that something happened to Sangou?
Jiang Yue's heart tightened, but then he secretly shook his head.
No!
With Sangou's ability, even if he can't defeat him, he is completely capable of escaping in this peripheral area. Could it be that he really fled in defeat?
With Sangou's character, even if he retreats temporarily, he will never retreat so completely. He will definitely come back to harass.
Jiang Yue walked around the surrounding area several times to make sure that Sangou was not at the scene.
What made him relieved was that the on-site analysis showed no evidence that anything happened to Sangou. This made Jiang Yue feel a little relieved.
Perhaps, Sangou has withdrawn to Yuncheng first.
Jiang Yue thought for a moment and decided to return to Yuncheng first.
After walking for more than ten miles, there is a valley. After walking out of this valley, it is close to the outskirts of Yuncheng and close to the human-controlled area.
This valley was originally a place where humans and the Weird Tree camp fought a lot. Most of the time, both camps will deliberately avoid this valley.
Because this is a war zone, both sides are worried about being ambushed by the other side.
When Jiang Yue was entering this valley, his footsteps stopped. He discovered some signals left by Three Dogs.
After three turns and two turns, Jiang Yue finally locked onto Sangou's perspective.
From Sangou's perspective, Jiang Yue discovered another person, He Jin!
Jiang Yue quickly rushed to the scene through Sangou's perspective.
"Second brother, you're back!" Sangou waved repeatedly.
Next to the three dogs, there was a man lying on a bluestone slab, it was He Jin. He Jin's face turned pale, and there were many wounds all over his body. He was very weak and dying.
Even Sangou had several wounds all over his body. He looked tired and exhausted, as if he had exerted too much force.
Seeing Jiang Yue coming, He Jin raised his eyelids slightly, moved his lips, and showed a wry smile: "Director Jiang, I'm embarrassing you."
Sangou said with some embarrassment: "Second brother, I was ambushed by those monsters. It was He Jin who rushed into the ambush and covered my retreat. It was my carelessness this time... that caused him to be so seriously injured."
He Jin coughed twice, grinned and said: "It's no harm, if I don't want to, no one can force me. If I'm willing to rush in, that's what I'm willing to do. When I lost to you in the ring, boy, I still can't. I didn’t regain my position, but I don’t want you to be killed by those monsters so early.”
Sangou and He Jin had a fight before, and He Jin was restrained severely by Sangou. He was beaten very frustrated and finally surrendered.
Sangou looked down upon He Jin more or less.
But this time, it was He Jin who saved him regardless of his life, which made the proud Sangou feel a little ashamed.
Especially since He Jin was so seriously injured, Sangou felt that he owed He Jin this time.
Jiang Yue stepped forward to check He Jin's injuries and said, "If there is still any chance of being rescued, go back to Yuncheng first."
This place was not far from Yuncheng. The three dogs carried He Jin on their shoulders, urged the spirit bird, and galloped back towards Yuncheng.
Jiang Yue and the others returned to Yuncheng. Except for Jiang Yue, the other two were covered in injuries. Even Jiang Yue himself looked a bit messy and embarrassed, quite different from his usual coolness.
Although Jiang Yue went to treat He Jin's injuries alone before he had time to explain, everyone could feel that this time Jiang Yue personally acted, I am afraid he did not take any advantage, and even suffered a big loss.
The only good thing is that no troops were lost this time, at least everyone returned in full. Although he was a little injured, everyone was still there.
After being treated with Jiang Yue's rejuvenation technique, He Jin obviously improved, and his life gradually became fuller again.
"Director Jiang, I seem to owe you more and more." He Jin sighed.
"Let's not settle these favors. The Weird Tree cannot be destroyed. In the end, they are all bad debts. It's useless to settle them." Jiang Yue waved his hand, indicating that He Jin didn't have to say this.
