After a fight, Ye Hong successfully held down the frantic Tieshan and Yan Song.
"Is this evil? When did they get possessed? This desire demon tree is too evil."
After Ye Hong restrained the two of them, he said doubtfully.
Ye Hong tried to wake up the two of them by shouting a few times, but found that it was useless. He had no choice but to knock the two of them unconscious and tie them up, thinking that after the desire demon tree was dealt with, the two of them would return to normal.
After all, Murong Jingxue was in urgent need of help now and could not let him fall into danger, so after dealing with the two people, he quickly supported Murong Jingxue.
With Ye Hong's timely arrival, the two of them dealt with the Demonic Desire Tree together, which immediately made Murong Jingxue less stressed.
"Glimpse of light! Radiance technique!"
"The shadows of the wind dance! The flames burn the sky!"
"Falling feathers and flying flowers!"
The two of them cooperated tacitly, their swords buzzed, the sword came out and fell, and they waved their hands as a move, shuttling around the Desire Demon Tree to attack and intercept.
The Demonic Desire Tree retreated step by step, with numerous roots and branches chopped off, and countless holes penetrated in the tree. The Demonic Desire Tree, which had such tenacious vitality and resilience as if it was out of control, could not withstand such a fierce pursuit. After recovering many times, the Demonic Desire Tree retreated steadily. Later, the red light on the Desire Demon Tree faded and weakened, and its recovery ability gradually became weaker.
Seeing that the Demonic Desire Tree's recovery ability had weakened, Ye Hong said happily: "It seems that the Demonic Desire Tree is not invincible! Victory is in sight!"
"A few more times should be enough to solve it! I don't have any pills to restore my inner strength. Please bring them to me! I've used up all the pills I have."
Murong Jingxue was equally happy. After fighting with the Demonic Desire Tree for so long, she finally saw that the Demonic Desire Tree was exhausted. She had consumed so many high-level elixirs in vain.
"What? At this time, you said there was no more elixir!" Ye Hong's eyes widened.
"You won't say that you don't have it anymore, right?" Murong Jingxue frowned.
Ye Hong said helplessly: "I only have a few low-level pills left to restore my internal strength."
Murong Jingxue frowned and thought for a moment and then said: "That can only be solved once and for all! I found that the instant recovery of the Demonic Desire Tree is the slowest after it is severely damaged. Even if it regenerates, there is a certain delay. Let's seize this opportunity to quickly attack it. Perform a combined fencing skill."
"Listen to you." Ye Hong said without hesitation.
Then the two of them concentrated their attacks on one battle as agreed, and gave it a go, intending to deal with the Demonic Desire Tree in one fell swoop.
The sword shadow was heavy and unstoppable. Even if the tree wanted to resist, it couldn't resist this time. There was no part of its body that was not cut by the sword shadow, and the red crystal embedded in the tree was completely shattered.
Murong Jingxue and Ye Hong performed their joint fencing skills twice in a short period of time, which consumed a huge amount of energy on both of them. It also consumed a lot of mental energy. This was considered their limit.
Fortunately, because the Desire Tree was consumed before, two consecutive intensive attacks finally succeeded in destroying the Desire Tree, and the Desire Tree never recovered.
Seeing that the roots and branches of the Desire Demon Tree finally stopped regenerating, and the wounds on the tree did not recover, the two of them invariably raised their hearts in their throats.
After waiting for a while, they found that there was indeed no movement from the Desire Tree, and that it had really lost its life. The two of them breathed a sigh of relief. This time, in order to deal with the Demonic Desire Tree, we have exhausted all our means and consumed a lot of energy. It can be said to be the most difficult battle in our life.
After killing the Demonic Desire Tree, the first thing Murong Jingxue did was to collect the Death Realm Heaven Crystal. When she got the Death Realm Heaven Crystal, Murong Jingxue was ecstatic and extremely excited to be able to harvest such a treasure. This trip The ruins of Shuiyuedongtian were not in vain.
"What is this strange fruit, the Death Realm Crystal? What's its use?" Seeing Murong Jingxue's excitement in collecting the Death Realm Sky Crystal, Ye Hong came over curiously and asked.
Murong Jingxue quickly put away the Jingshu Tianjing and said expressionlessly: "It's just a treasure of heaven and earth. It has no use except that it looks good. Seize the time and continue to go deep into the ruins, and try to complete the task and leave the ruins as soon as possible."
Ye Hong didn't say much. It was obvious that Murong Jingxue didn't want him to know, so he didn't go into details. Anyway, Murong Jingxue was interested in something that he had no share in, so it was better not to know.
After Murong Jingxue took away the Death Sky Crystal, there was nothing of value on the Demonic Desire Tree. Apart from a blue-red Heart of the Demonic Desire Tree, there was nothing valuable.
Back to Tieshan and Yan Song, after the death of the Desire Demon Tree, the two returned to normal. As soon as Yan Song saw a female mummy dug out on the ground, he rushed over and burst into tears.
"Sister! Sister, why did you become like this, wuwuwu~"
Seeing Yan Song holding the female mummy and crying and calling her sister, Ye Hong knew that the mummy should be Yan Song's sister who died. I had noticed something strange underground before, but I didn't think about it. I never expected that Yan Song's sister's body would appear here. The corpse turned into a mummy and was at the root of the Demonic Desire Tree. Obviously, this had something to do with the Demonic Desire Tree.
Seeing Yan Song crying so sadly, Ye Hong didn't want to disturb him, but he had to hurry now and he still had a mission. Murong Jingxue had already said that he had to leave.
"Yan Song, are you so sure this is your sister?" Ye Hong still asked.
Yan Song nodded affirmatively and explained: "Sister, I grew up with you. We ate together, practiced together, and..."
Through Yan Song's story, Ye Hong learned that Yan Song could identify his sister at a glance because of the special clothes on her sister's body and the special jade knife ornament hanging on her waist, which was left by their parents. The relic has always been kept by Yan Song's sister and has never left her body.
Seeing Yan Song sad and with tears in his eyes, Ye Hong didn't know what to say. He was the worst at comforting people. I wanted to ask Tieshan to persuade Yan Song, but I saw that Tieshan's mood was not much better than that of Yan Song. Even when a Tiehanhan was sad, he didn't know what Tieshan was feeling at the moment and what his feelings were for Yan Song's sister.
"...Now that your sister has been found and the mission materials you need to collect for the mission have almost been collected, you should leave the ruins as soon as possible! There may be dangers if you continue to go deeper into the ruins, so don't follow her. "
After experiencing the Demonic Desire Tree, Ye Hong knew that there was no safety in the ruins as imagined. He was not afraid of these dangers, but Tieshan and Yan Song were different. Sometimes he could not take care of them. In the face of a powerful enemy, the safety of the two cannot be guaranteed.
This is also for their sake. After all, their purpose of coming to the Shuiyuedongtian ruins this time has been achieved, and there is no need to follow them to risk going deep into the ruins.
"This...that's okay!"
Yan Song and the others hesitated for a moment before agreeing to Ye Hong's request, knowing that even if they followed, they would not be able to help and would cause trouble to Ye Hong. Seeing that Murong Jingxue didn't want to see the two of them, and her eyes revealed cold murderous intent towards her, she thought that she wouldn't join in the fun.
What's more important is that now that his sister's body has been found, what he has to do is take it out of the ruins and bury it. Moreover, this trip to the ruins has yielded a lot, and the natural materials and treasures obtained are enough to sell for a large sum of money, so I should be satisfied.
"Then this Jiyi Sword Technique..." Yan Song said with some reluctance, holding the technique he took out from the storage bag of his sister's body.
Ye Hong waved his hand indifferently and said: "This book is yours. Just keep it with you. I will look for you to read it when I leave the ruins. You can also make a rubbing for me when you have time after I leave." .”
"Then... then according to Brother Yehong's wishes, I will find someone to help you make a rubbing after I leave the ruins."
Ye Hong didn't directly ask for the sword technique, and Yan Song was somewhat pleased. After all, with Ye Hong's strength, even if he had to go through the Sword Art to take it away, there was nothing he could do. Moreover, it was thanks to Ye Hong that he could come here to retrieve his sister's bones this time. Ye Hong wanted to use the Sword Art to take her away. It’s not an exaggeration to take it as your own.
Let Yan Song and Tieshan return along the original road. Ye Hong and Murong Jingxue will be the only ones on the road after that. Because all the desire demon trees along the way have been wiped out, Ye Hong is not worried about the two of them on their way back. Encountered the Demonic Desire Tree again.
Here, Ye Hong and Murong Jingxue continued to go deep into the ruins. Strangely enough, since they killed the huge mutated Desire Tree, they never encountered the Desire Tree again while going deep into the ruins. , and did not encounter any other creatures, as if it had returned to the tranquility when it first entered the ruins.
The more silent it became, the more doubtful the two of them felt. Although there were pleasant scenery everywhere, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and lush greenery, everything felt strange.
The two of them walked in silence for a long time. In order to make the atmosphere less depressing and ease the awkward situation between the two, Ye Hong said something out of his mind.
"We cooperated very well just now! I didn't expect this combined fencing skill to be so powerful. The sword spirit is finally reliable."
Murong Jingxue suddenly paused, turned around and glanced at Ye Hong, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said threateningly:
"Don't tell anyone that you can combine fencing skills with me! Otherwise, I'll kill you!"
Seeing Murong Jingxue's dangerous eyes, Ye Hong subconsciously nodded silently, a little afraid of Murong Jingxue.
After warning Ye Hong and seeing Ye Hong's reaction, Murong Jingxue turned her head and snorted without saying anything more. She seemed not to want to communicate with Ye Hong and continued walking forward.
Ye Hong couldn't figure out what Murong Jingxue was thinking. Just now they were dealing with the Demonic Desire Tree together just fine, but now their expressions were changing at every turn, leaving Ye Hong not sure which one was Murong Jingxue's true character.
"Hey! A woman's heart is as deep as the bottom of the sea! You can't guess!" Ye Hong sighed to himself.
The ruins of Shuiyuedongtian are very large. Currently, the two of them have gone a long way in one direction, but the strange thing is that they still can't reach the end and can't see the edge.
Suddenly, Ye Hong stopped, observed the surrounding scenery, frowned slightly, and said:
"Did you notice that we seemed to have walked through this stretch of road just now?"
Ye Hong, who had been paying close attention to the surrounding scenery, noticed something unusual and said it. After finishing speaking, Murong Jingxue also stopped and looked around with a frown.
Seeing Murong Jingxue standing there without speaking for a long time, Ye Hong became anxious and began to make random guesses.
"We're not going to keep spinning in circles, are we? Are we trying to beat the wall?"
While Ye Hong was still thinking, Murong Jingxue said solemnly: "It's not that we are spinning in circles, we have not walked this journey, it is the surrounding scenery that is repeating itself."
"You said these scenery are reappearing? How is this possible!" Ye Hong was surprised and couldn't believe it.
"I have my own unique glorious aftertaste along the way. It is impossible to repeat the same path. I don't know, and these scenery do exist, so there is only one possibility. What is repeated is not the path I have taken, but what is repeated. scene."
After hearing what Murong Jingxue said, Ye Hong was doubtful and said doubtfully: "How can there be duplicate scenes in the world? Is this really possible?"
"We'll find out if we walk a little further." Murong Jingxue frowned and said nothing, and began to verify what she said.
