Chapter 677: Destroy the Wood Demon
Xuehua's proposal was directly agreed upon by Aoshui and Jingtian.
Just hide away and that's it? Too naive.
This is definitely a case of one can hide from the monk but cannot hide from the temple. Everyone knows that the huge sycamore tree on the top of the mountain is the lair of the tree demon.
"Isn't this old guy very powerful? Why is he hiding? Wouldn't it be better to just confront him head-on?" Jingtian wondered as he moved upwards.
"She is just bluffing. Her abilities are only invisibility, teleportation and those vines. I have been fooled by her reputation all these years." Black Wolf rarely expressed his opinion.
"Bluster?" Jingtian raised his eyebrows and looked at Ao Shui.
"Not entirely. Its realm is indeed very high, and its attack power varies from person to person. To other spirit beasts, teleportation and these vines are absolutely fatal. If it weren't for sir's strange fire, we would also have some minor troubles." Ao Shui somewhat disagreed with Black Wolf's judgment.
Indeed, if it were not for Jingtian's strange fire, it would take at least more effort and time for Ao Shui and Heilang to completely break through the vines blocking their way.
But no matter what, the advantage is now on Jingtian's side.
The old tree demon is definitely not as she said, not afraid of the strange fire. On the contrary, this guy should be very afraid or daunted, otherwise he would not be hiding like this again.
Soon the group arrived at a big tree on the top of the mountain.
This big tree was undoubtedly the largest tree Jingtian had ever seen.
There is no doubt that this is also a paulownia tree. With a height of fifty meters and a trunk diameter of thirty meters, it is rather short and fat in proportion.
At a height of 20 meters, the branches and leaves begin to branch out, and the area spreading in all directions is so large that it can almost cover one-third of the hill. The dense canopy is completely opaque, and the diameter of the canopy is definitely more than 200 meters!
When they arrived in front of the giant tree, they easily found a hole at the bottom of the trunk.
The entrance of the cave is two meters high and more than one meter wide, and is blocked by a fence made of rattan.
The few of them did not rush in, but explored inside.
Xuehua was the most sensitive to the aura of spiritual stones. After checking it out, she showed a surprised expression on her face. "The spiritual stone is in this tree trunk!"
Ao Shui also nodded and looked up slightly at the height of twenty meters.
"I'll go in." Jingtian also found out that the spirit stone was twenty meters high inside the tree.
"Sir, don't go... This is a trap. It will directly transfer the entire tree to another dimension."
Ao Shui stopped Jingtian for a moment, and after a slight flash of his eyes, he gave a suggestion.
"Why go through so much trouble? It would be better to just burn it, and all the traps will be reduced to ashes." Xuehua said immediately after hearing Ao Shui's words.
Jingtian shook his head slightly at Xuehua. Aoshui was definitely not the type of person who liked to complicate things.
“Let’s put it into the space first, but we need to dig up the tree roots.” Jingtian said .
"I'll do this, it won't be too much trouble!"
Ao Shui nodded immediately, took off the triangular fork behind him, and then went straight to the middle of the mountain slope.
Jingtian and his companions naturally followed closely, not wanting to give the old tree demon another chance to take advantage.
I saw Ao Shui raising the triangular fork and stabbing it diagonally into the mountain.
Boom...Crack!
A loud noise was heard, and a crack was clearly seen extending horizontally, at least tens of meters.
Then Ao Shu walked forward for a distance along the crack, and then stabbed into the hillside with a fork.
The hillside was not very big, and one circle was only about a thousand meters. Ao Shui took about three minutes to complete a circle.
Jingtian didn't need Aoshui's reminder. He directly opened the space gate to the maximum area and tried it. As a result, the entire huge paulownia tree, along with one third of the mountain, was directly taken into the dimensional space.
The tree is big and has deep roots. There are still a large number of roots left throughout the mountain. However, given the vitality of this big tree, it will not affect its vitality.
Of course, if they can't survive, Jingtian and others won't have any regrets, they can just treat it as collecting some wood.
In the dimensional space, Jingtian directly found a good location to place the big tree, which was the hill next to the phantom turtle.
With a thought, the top of the hill flattened and a suitable large pit appeared, just right for planting the towering tree.
If they really survive, this might be the most suitable habitat for the griffins.
"Very stable, definitely survivable... huh?"
After Jingtian planted the tree, he used his control to investigate the vitality of the entire tree and the spirit stone, and found something unusual, which changed Jingtian's expression.
Jingtian's eyes moved around, and without doing anything else, he directly exited the dimensional space with his consciousness.
"gentlemen……"
"I see. The old tree demon is hiding in that tree, right?"
Ao Shui wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Jingtian with a smile.
"So you've discovered it, sir." A smile appeared on Ao Shui's face.
"How is it possible that the old woman didn't run away in the tree? I didn't find any signs." Xuehua shouted in surprise and disbelief.
The black wolf's expression did not change, but it did not say anything. Apparently, it did not notice this either.
In fact, only Ao Shui discovered it, and Jingtian discovered it through his control over the dimensional space.
"In fact, its main body is the big tree, and the old lady is just the core of the tree. After integrating into the big tree, the whole thing is it, so outsiders can't feel it. If you rashly enter the tree hole, you will be eaten by it directly." Ao Shui explained to them.
"Never mind. What you said is right. Things here are over. Jingtian asked me to go back. I want to deal with that old woman!" After listening to Ao Shui's words, Xuehua said directly to Jingtian.
"Go ahead, don't be polite this time, I'll support you even if you kill it." Jingtian showed no kindness this time.
Once you enter the dimensional space, no matter what kind of existence you were before, you must accept control.
Even if it was the strongest ice dragon today, it would only take a thought for Jingtian and Xuehua to imprison it.
Xuehua returned to the dimensional space, leaving Jingtian, Aoshui and Heilang.
"Without that old tree demon woman here, will it have any impact on this forest?"
Jingtian looked at the huge sycamore forest around him, then asked Heilang.
"No, because even though the trees here were reproduced by it , they all absorb energy from it. Without it, the trees here will only become more and more lush." Black Wolf shook his head with certainty.
"That's good, things here are over, we can go find that violent brown bear now!" Jingtian said after feeling relieved after hearing what Black Wolf said.
Jingtian would feel somewhat guilty if the big tree was removed, affecting the vitality of such a large forest, and he would have to help with some remedial work.
Ao Shui and Heilang naturally had no objection to Jingtian's decision.
Then the two men and the wolf turned around and returned in the direction they came from.
On the way back, Jingtian did not choose to travel at high speed in the air. He was still thinking about picking up some spiritual herbs on the way.
Even if you encounter common medicinal herbs and special plants, Sedum will not miss them.
Because ordinary medicinal herbs can also have great effects if cultivated well, special plants are used to enrich the species in the space.
It was already very dark at this time. Although the darkness had no effect on the three of them , Jingtian decided to recuperate here for a night after wasting a lot of time collecting plants.
The main reason is that Jingtian is also worried about the old tree demon in the space.
"Black Wolf, we have been through a lot together, and we are also friends from Xiaopang's perspective. Come to my space to recuperate for a night, and I will give you some thousand-year-old stone milk."
When Jingtian and Aoshui were preparing to return to the space, Jingtian also extended an invitation to Heilang.
Black Wolf had always refused to enter Jingtian's dimensional space, but this time he obviously hesitated.
"I will not sign any contract with you, including an equal contract, and I will not stay in your space forever." said Black Wolf.
When Heilang said this, it was obvious that he was moved.
"Don't worry, we're just going to take a temporary rest. We'll come out together tomorrow morning. Even if you want to stay inside, I won't allow you. You still have to wait for Xiaopang here." Jingtian said with a smile.
Jingtian really just invited Heilang to be a temporary guest and had no other ideas at all.
After a moment of hesitation, Black Wolf finally nodded.
Jingtian smiled again, then took Heilang and Aoshui back to the dimension.
