All the way north, the mountains, forests and lakes passed by were extremely quiet. There were no monsters, no birds, not even fish and crabs in the lakes and rivers. There were only outside cultivators in twos and threes who came to explore the ruins in search of treasures.
This made the group of people feel strange. It is said that even if the ruins have been sealed for thousands of years, it is impossible for there to be no living creatures. Even if the living creatures cannot be seen, there is no danger at all. Then how did the people who came in before die? It's confusing.
There are no monsters in the ruins, but there are a lot of heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Hundred-year-old spiritual materials can be found everywhere. The deeper you go north, you can also see many that are more than a thousand years old. This Shuiyuedongtian ruins looks like a spiritual plant garden. . There is no danger, but it is still a treasure.
As a senior money fan, Ye Hong's eyes were shining with gold. There were crystal stones all over the place. If Murong Jingxue hadn't told her to hurry up and go out after exploring the ruins, Ye Hong would have wanted to loot the entire ruins. If you go any further, you won’t miss any turf.
In the process, Yan Song also quickly collected all the spiritual materials required for the mission. Tieshan was still a little short of it because the spiritual materials required for the mission he took were relatively rare, but he finally collected a lot of valuable spiritual materials along the way. Materials are also a huge income for Tieshan and Yan Song, who are civilian cultivators. They can still get a few thousand crystals after selling them.
At this time, it is indeed understandable to recall that Jingtao Pavilion charges fees at the entrance to the ruins. After all, as long as you spend some time looking for the ruins once, you can earn back the crystal stones you paid. If you are lucky enough to come across rare spiritual materials, you can make a lot of money. Jingtao Pavilion can be said to have given huge benefits to the practitioners on the mainland. It is no wonder that Shuiyue City is so lively.
"Ye Hong, look at that! Evergreen Artemisia!" Tieshan pointed in one direction and exclaimed, looking excited.
Following the sound, I saw a short green plant between the rocks. It was difficult to distinguish it from the surrounding weeds without looking carefully.
"Tieshan, why do you have such long eyes? Spiritual materials can detect them at a glance. From such a long distance, you are clairvoyant!"
Tieshan scratched his head and chuckled, "The main reason is that the Evergreen Artemisia grows on the edge of the stone. My earth attribute is more sensitive to the rock and soil."
"...Then why don't I feel the same way as you? You are really good at it!"
Ye Hong didn't want to delve into it any further. All he could see was the ten thousand-year-old artemisia. He ran towards it excitedly and couldn't wait to put it into his storage bag.
"A thousand-year-old spiritual material, if sold, will be worth a large sum of crystals. You can't let it go. Whoever sees it has a share. I will keep it for you first. When we go out, we will sell half of the crystals." Ye Ye Hong said shamelessly to Tieshan, while he was about to grab the Evergreen Linghao.
Tieshan didn't have much to say about Ye Hong's shamelessness. Let alone a ten-thousand-year-old spiritual material, it actually didn't matter if he gave it to Ye Hong. When he went to the mountains to hunt the Moon-Screaming Demonic Wolf, if Ye Hong hadn't protected him, he wouldn't have done it. Although he died a long time ago, he is still very grateful to Ye Hong and has always regarded him as a good brother.
But just when Ye Hong came into contact with the Evergreen Spirit Wormwood, a sudden change occurred. The Evergreen Spirit Wormwood suddenly sprang up, and roots surged out of the ground. They instantly entangled Ye Hong's arms, and then many roots sprang out from the surrounding ground, heading towards Ye Hong entangled and left.
"I×! What's going on!"
This sudden turn of events shocked Ye Hong into reacting quickly and struggling to break free from his entangled arms.
Tieshan and Murong Jingxue were also shocked. They did not expect such a thing to happen suddenly. Especially Murong Jingxue was even more surprised, because she clearly didn't sense that there were any living things nearby besides them, and the roots and branches that suddenly sprang out didn't sense any life breath from above, or in other words, her own. Perception is blocked.
While Ye Hong struggled to break free, Tieshan and others quickly came over to help. Seeing that Ye Hong couldn't break free from the entanglement of the roots and branches for a long time, and was still entangled tighter and tighter, Murong Jingxue couldn't sit still at this time, and hurriedly came over to help. The light blade in his hand was condensed, and it was pointed at the roots that were constantly emerging from the ground. Branches chopped.
"What the hell! Why is it getting tighter and tighter! I can't even use my strength!"
Ye Hong pulled hard and summoned the Qingfeng Sword to chop with one hand, but the effect was very little. The Qingfeng Sword only cut a big gap on the branch, and soon the branches were entangled with each other to fill it. Breaks and gaps also heal quickly.
During this process, not only were not many of those roots and branches destroyed, but more and more of them were chopped down, constantly emerging from the ground, like a big net, and soon trapped Ye Hong in the middle, and tied his limbs. Hanging upside down in mid-air.
Ye Hong's situation was the same, but Tieshan and Yan Song were even worse. Instead of helping Ye Hong, they also fell into trouble, and their situation was almost the same as Ye Hong's.
Murong Jingxue's situation was better than the three of them. The light blade in her hand chopped off many branches and successfully cut a passage to reach Ye Hong, but that was all.
As Ye Hong and Tieshan were bound by the roots one after another, all the roots rushed towards Murong Jingxue, making it difficult for Murong Jingxue to deal with them. He was touched by those roots several times and almost got entangled.
"Watch your back!"
At Ye Hong's reminder, Murong Jingxue responded with a swing of her sword, cutting off the branches that had sneaked up from behind.
"waste!"
Murong Jingxue cursed angrily, whether she was complaining about Ye Hong's incompetence, or whether she was holding back the fire in her heart and being a little annoyed by these branches. Suddenly, the light blade in her hand was replaced by the staff of holy light. The light element surged, and the light Dasheng, the instantly scorching light breath forced the invading roots and branches back.
"Glory!"
Realizing that these branches were afraid of light, Murong Jingxue instantly had a way to deal with them. She used light magic to attack and quickly knocked out most of the branches that were staring at them.
"Great radiance technique!"
The large-scale light spell attack caused Genzhi to retreat continuously. Ye Hong and the others were finally rescued. At the same time, they were very lucky that Murong Jingxue was here this time, otherwise the lives of the three of them would really be at stake here.
Everyone was relieved when they saw the roots and branches emerging from the ground shrinking back. Murong Jingxue was relieved after seeing this. Her realm was suppressed in the late Nascent Soul stage, and the strength she could exert was limited. If it weren't for the fact that this thing was afraid of light. , Murong Jingxue felt like she was in danger this time.
"There is something not normal in this Shuiyuedongtian ruins, you'd better not run around!"
Murong Jingxue warned the three of them, and then continued to head north, but just after taking a few steps, Murong Jingxue stopped.
Tieshan and Yan Song were too embarrassed to speak. Ye Hong didn't take Murong Jingxue's words seriously. He rarely used his brain when he was following Murong Jing these days. There was no need to do anything if he couldn't beat someone. With Murong Jingxue protecting his life, Ye Hong didn't do anything. Not false.
Ye Hong was still thinking about the Evergreen Artemisia plant just now. He lowered his head and searched for it on the ground, and almost bumped into Murong Jingxue who had stopped.
"What's wrong? Why don't you leave?" Ye Hong looked at Murong Jingxue in confusion.
"Are there so many trees around here just now?" Murong Jingxue stared at the surrounding woods, frowning.
"Huh? Trees? I didn't pay attention just now. What happened to these trees?" Ye Hong was confused.
"This...these trees didn't originally exist!" Yan Song said tremblingly after hearing Murong Jingxue's question.
The attentive Yan Song did notice the abnormality, and just after he said the words, the surrounding trees suddenly shook and moved quickly, revealing his true face in an instant.
"The tree... the tree moved!" Everyone screamed.
"I×! The tree has become a spirit!"
Soon, a group of four people discovered that something was wrong. Not only the trees in front of them came alive, but also all the trees around them. They and their group were surrounded by a group of living trees, and they were surrounded.
Those fast-moving trees let out strange laughter, and a bright red face could be vaguely seen on the tree trunks, which looked extremely terrifying against the demonic laughter.
"No! Laughter has a confusing effect. Use your inner strength to isolate the sound! Don't listen to the laughter of those trees!" Ye Hong was in a daze for a moment. He sensed something was wrong and shouted quickly.
"It doesn't matter what you are, whether you are a monster, a monster, or a tree spirit! Let me die for you!" The holy light staff in Murong Jingxue's hand was shining brightly, and it struck the front.
"Swiss, swish... cluck..."
The surrounding trees were not scattered or frightened by Murong Jingxue's attack, and continued to laugh strangely, as if they were laughing at Murong Jingxue's inability to defeat them.
The strange tree movements were more than that. After surrounding Ye Hong and his party, tree roots kept coming out of the ground. They were very similar to the previous branches, and there were more roots and branches appearing this time than before. More than ten times more, they continued to pour out, targeting Ye Hong and his party.
"So many! I'm done!"
"Don't be stunned! Use all your strength to deal with these strange trees!" Murong Jingxue urged Ye Hong Chuanxin with a solemn expression.
Everyone was in a hurry, hurriedly dealing with the tree roots that kept coming. Ye Hong complained incessantly. The few tree roots before were too difficult to deal with, but now there were so many at once, and even if he tried his best with the Frost Sparkling Sword, it would be useless.
"Jingxue, you'd better use your skills quickly! Don't test me anymore, I really can't handle this much!" Ye Hong sent a message to Murong Jingxue.
"Who tested you! My realm has been suppressed by this weird place, and I can only use the strength of the late Nascent Soul! If you don't want to die here, show me your skills. How smart are you! Find a way for me!" Murong Jingxue said with rapid breathing.
The realm has been suppressed, and now neither the realm nor the realm armor can be used. Murong Jingxue continued to use spells to resist the invading tree roots. There were fine beads of sweat on her face. This time she was really trapped.
Seeing Murong Jingxue's appearance, Ye Hong felt cold. He never thought that Murong Jingxue's realm would be suppressed. The confidence he had always had suddenly became hopeless. He was really helpless. With his strength here, these weird things Shu was obviously more than one level above him, and was so difficult that even Murong Jingxue couldn't deal with him.
"Fire! Yes! Trees are afraid of fire! Use fire to burn! If light and fire match, the damage will be doubled!"
Ye Hong reacted and quickly called the fire element attack, using fire attribute combat skills to drive away the tree roots.
"Fire flames burn the sky!"
The fire attack did give everyone a chance to relax, but that was all.
Ye Hong was only at the early stage of the Golden Core, and the power of the flame attack was far from causing any damage to these weird trees. After getting familiar with Ye Hong's attack methods, those weird trees seemed to have found the flaw in Ye Hong's flame attack, and risked Fearing the danger of being burned by the flames, he once again launched a violent attack on everyone.
"There's something wrong with these trees! They're too spiritually advanced! How can they cooperate with each other? God forbid!" Ye Hong complained.
Ye Hong's flame attack and Murong Jing's snow light spells failed to break through the surrounding trees, and their internal energy was continuously consumed. Not only Murong Jingxue was anxious, but Ye Hong was also so anxious that he sweated and wrung his hands. Think of ways to break out of the encirclement.
