"You, you, you...you can actually speak the common language of the vast continent? Weren't you just babbling before? When did you learn to speak the common language of the vast continent? Or were you just pretending to us before?" Su Fanjun said in surprise.

The old tree spirit ignored Su Fanjun's words and stared at An Ran, An Yu, Jun Zichen and Xu Errong very seriously with a serious expression, waiting for their answers stubbornly.

An Yu raised an eyebrow at the old tree spirit and replied calmly, "Not long. I just felt you were being a bit too flattering. And since you've put so much effort into protecting this thing, how could you remain indifferent when the five of us took it away?"

"Yes, and you were kind enough to open the passage and let us out. There wasn't even a trap. Everything went so smoothly that it really made me feel uneasy! So I can only guess that there might be something more important waiting for you to protect, and this thing is just a decoy..." Xu Errong said lightly.

Jun Zichen's lips curled up into a smile. He looked at the old tree spirit and said with a very evil look, "From the moment you brought us to this place, I began to doubt you. I was able to guess what Yi Yi said by guessing it? It really makes me unbelievable!

And... the most important point is, how could a proud Qilin, a divine beast, be so spineless as to find the tree spirit who was responsible for guarding the cave treasure?

An Ran took the box fragments out of the bushes, looked at the old tree spirit with a smile, raised the box fragments in her hand, and said, "I have a hobby, that is, I particularly like these small and cute things, so... I accidentally found this in the bushes, and unfortunately, I think I recognize this thing..."

Looking at the fragments of the box in An Ran's hand, An Yu couldn't help laughing. Isn't this what they saw when they looked at Angel's memory tree in his spiritual world?

"Haha, it seems that thanks to our experience in my spiritual world, all my guesses have come true!" An Yu said with a smile...

Listening to their well-reasoned analysis, Su Fanjun fell silent. He stood blankly behind them without saying a word...

"Hahaha, you really deserve to be the one who found this place. Most people would be so excited after seeing the jade ruyi that they would not know what day it was. You four can actually guess and analyze that there are other treasures in it. It's true that heroes emerge from young people!" said the old tree spirit lightly.

Jun Zichen raised an eyebrow and looked at the old tree spirit, replying calmly, "Haha, I really don't deserve it. It's just that your acting is so poor. But now that we've exposed you, shouldn't you go with us to find the real treasure?"

After saying that, he let go of Xiaohuo, as if Xiaohuo could immediately absorb all his vitality as long as he didn't agree!

The old tree spirit remained silent as he looked at Xiao Huo's drooling expression. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead, and it seemed as if the wound on his right wrist was aching again...

But he still stood in front of An Ran and the other five, and said stubbornly: "Impossible, I can't take you to find the treasure left by the master!"

"Are you sure?" Jun Zichen raised his eyebrows and looked at the old tree spirit, asking lightly.

"Do you know what the consequences will be if you don't take us to find the treasure?"

"Think about it, which is more important, the treasure or your own life?"

"You know, the treasure is dead, and you are alive. Which is more important?"

"The treasure is left here. One day, someone will take it away. It's just a matter of time. So what's the difference between taking it away today and taking it away tomorrow? What's the difference between being taken away by someone else and being taken away by us?"

…

Jun Zichen asked one question after another, trying to break the psychological defense of the old tree spirit. After all, in such a big cave, especially in this unfamiliar cave, it would be much easier for the old tree spirit, a familiar person, to lead the five of them to search, rather than for them to search alone!

The cold sweat on the old tree spirit's forehead kept pouring out as he asked questions one after another, and the resolute expression on his face began to loosen a little...

However, he still struggled and said, "I can't go against my master's wishes. I can't take you to find my master's treasure!"

"Are you really not going to take us with you? Aren't you afraid of death?" Jun Zichen asked calmly.

The old tree spirit looked at Xiao Huo with great fear and said bitterly: "I am afraid of death, but there is nothing I can do. I cannot disobey the master's orders!"

After saying this, she closed her eyes resignedly, and said with a calm demeanor, "Since that's the case, you can kill me or chop me up as you please!"

Oh, you really aren't afraid of death?

"Xiaohuo." Jun Zichen called out softly, and Xiaohuo pounced directly at the old tree spirit like an arrow, lying on her body tightly, biting the wound on his palm, and began to devour his life madly.

The old tree spirit struggled hard, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not break free from Xiaohuo's grip. After a while, a wailing sound that resounded through the sky sounded in the ears of Anran and the other five people.

"ah!"

The old tree spirit was struggling in agony, the wood whiskers exposed to the air were shaking constantly, and an almost enchanting purple light was growing on the dry roots at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Its vitality was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the entire tree spirit became dry from its previous vitality!

An Ran, An Yu, Su Fanjun and Xu Errong could not help but turn their heads away, unable to bear to watch the scene that followed.

An Ran even wanted Xiaohuo to stop devouring the old tree spirit, but looking at Jun Zichen's expressionless face, he held back and didn't say anything!

Jun Zichen gradually became anxious, and at one point he wanted to stop the small fire from devouring the old tree spirit's life, but... it was not the time yet!

Just when the vitality of the old tree spirit was about to be completely devoured by the young man, a wave of waves suddenly came from the air, and forcibly knocked the little fire out of the old tree spirit's body!

"Xiaohuo!" Anran yelled and quickly caught Xiaohuo!

Jun Zichen also breathed a sigh of relief. It’s finally here!

An Ran, An Yu, Xu Errong and Su Fanjun looked at the weak old tree spirit in front of them with great surprise, and looked around in confusion, trying to find the source of the sound to see who could save the old tree spirit from Xiao Huo's mouth!
