Chapter 137: Fighting for Wood Spirit Crystals Xu Hui paused and decided to...

Xu Hui paused and decided to wait and see what would happen.

The group of people were afraid that all the benefits would be taken away, so they rushed in without any precautions.

The originally quiet desert became restless in an instant, like an enraged lion that broke free from its slumber the moment Xu Hui disappeared with the Daotian Wood Spirit.

The earth trembled violently, as if an invisible giant hand was stirring wantonly deep underground, suddenly releasing the power that had been dormant for billions of years.

The sand dunes undulate and the sand waves roll, like surging waves on the sea, rolling up thousands of snow piles, and then being pulled back to the ground by gravity in an instant, making a deafening roar.

At this moment, the boundaries between heaven and earth seemed to have been lost, and everything became blurred and chaotic under the impact of this force.

As the earthquake intensified, the tree roots buried deep in the sand were activated, breaking free from their shackles and stretching out like giant dragons with endless anger, breaking out of the ground.

For a moment, sand and dust flew, covering the sky and the sun, and the entire sky was covered with a gray sandstorm.

These tree roots were like living things, rushing towards the uninvited monks with amazing speed and strength.

The monk who rushed to the front was an old man with a high level of cultivation. The defensive magic weapon on his body shone with dazzling light, trying to resist the impending attack.

However, when the tree roots swept fiercely, those magic weapons were vulnerable and were shattered in an instant. The old man also flew backwards and hit the monk behind him, letting out a shrill scream.

This scene terrified all the monks. These tree roots were too powerful and too numerous to be resisted at all.

They were terrified and wisely turned around and ran away.

However, it was too late.

The tree roots seemed to have consciousness and quickly surrounded them.

Countless tree roots came crashing down from all directions, with such speed and power that there was no escape.

The monks could only bite the bullet and use all their strength to try to resist these terrifying attacks.

They each cast spells, using blazing flames and surging waves to block the roots.

However, they seem to be immune to water and fire. No matter how hot the flames are or how turbulent the waves are, they cannot cause any substantial damage to them.

The monks then tried to use ice and thunder techniques to freeze with ice or destroy with lightning.

It also didn't have much effect, only leaving shallow marks on the surface of the tree roots, and was unable to shake their roots at all.

The monks were beaten so badly that they had no power to fight back and fell to the ground seriously injured.

Their bodies were hit by tree roots, making dull sounds, accompanied by the tragic scene of broken bones and splattering blood.

When Xu Hui saw this scene, she couldn't help but grit her teeth. This was too painful.

Originally she didn't want to care about it. The secret realm was full of dangers, and one should be prepared to die once entering.

But there was someone she knew in the crowd, Xu Haoying, one of the weapon refiners she had recruited for the Wei family when she first found a bargain in Quxian City.

The Xu family's unique array refining hand gestures brought a lot of benefits to the Wei family. This person was recruited by Xu Hui, so he was classified under the name of Wei Mubai and became one of his affiliated weapon refiners.

Usually, when Xu Hui needed some less important refining products, he would ask the two brothers to refine them.

Although their cultivation level is not high and they have not yet established a foundation, the two brothers are quick-witted. They can not only complete all the requirements raised by Xu Hui, but also give corresponding suggestions for those that cannot be done, and tell Xu Hui who to ask for help.

In short, he is a relatively useful subordinate.

Since he is one of her own, Xu Hui naturally would not just sit there and let him die.

Xu Hui was just about to fly his sword and use the Wanxiang Sword to destroy all those ugly tree roots.

Suddenly she felt something was wrong and looked back to see that the Daotian wood monster she had brought into the space was tightly entangled with a huge tree root.

The tree roots struggled wildly, wantonly damaging the plants on the entire hilltop.

She suddenly remembered that when she brought the Daotian Wood Monster into the space, she felt something strange. Could it be that she brought the tree roots in as well?

Fortunately, she chose an empty hilltop. There was nothing here except some common medicinal plants, so she wouldn't feel bad if it was destroyed.

Xu Hui was flying the sword, ready to destroy the tree root first, but then he thought of something and turned the sword around, rushing out of the space and instantly destroying all the tree roots around Xu Haoying.

Xu Haoying was already seriously injured and dying. Seeing so many tree roots coming at him, he had no way to avoid them. He could only close his eyes and wait for death with no desire to live.

However, after waiting for a while, the imagined severe pain did not come. I opened my eyes and saw that all the tree roots around me had turned into sand and fell down.

His eyes widened in surprise and he looked around hurriedly.

I saw a very thin black shadow shuttling back and forth among the tree roots in an instant, and wherever it went, all the tree roots turned into sand.

For a moment, the area around them became a vacuum, and all the monks breathed a sigh of relief.

Those who could still move shouted loudly, "Thank you for saving my life, senior!"

Since we have saved them, we must save them to the end. Xu Hui waved his sleeves, and dozens of pills flew towards the monks and into their mouths.

The monks were busy meditating and refining the medicine. The pure medicinal power entered their bodies and soon most of their injuries were healed.

What Xu Haoying put into his mouth was a higher-level pill than the others. It healed all his injuries. The moment he took the pill, he knew what was going on.

This person must be the elder of the Wei family!

Because the recovery pill he took was a high-level pill only provided to Wei family disciples. It took two thousand points to redeem one pill. How could an ordinary disciple be willing to redeem it?

Even though he had been awarded a lot of points for his contributions, he was reluctant to buy them. Points had to be used to buy skills, magic tools, refining materials, etc.

If you need healing pills, you can also buy cheap versions, such as the repair pills that other people take, which can also recover most of the injuries and are worth only one tenth of the price.

The reason why he knew this was because he was a subordinate of the second young master Wei Mubai. Wei Mubai also participated in the refining of this pill, and if there was any surplus, he would distribute it to his subordinates.

He was lucky enough to get one, so he cherished it very much.

And this senior actually gave it away casually, which shows that he is not short of this kind of medicine. Apart from the seniors or senior members of the Wei family, who else would help him like this?

Xu Haoying knew what was going on. As soon as his injuries healed, he immediately stood up and saluted, "Thank you for your protection, Senior. It's our fault for not being well-trained. I will leave now."

While they were meditating, the black shadow did not stop and kept strangling the surrounding tree roots.

The tree roots seemed to have no fear, rushing forward one after another, and then turned into handfuls of yellow sand.

If it weren't for this senior, they wouldn't be so safe.

But just because he will save them doesn't mean he will protect them in their treasure hunt. Being greedy will only lead to faster death.

Therefore, he said goodbye decisively. Seeing this, the others also stood up. Although they were unwilling to do so, the Wood Spirit Crystal was a rare treasure, but no matter how good a thing was, one had to live to enjoy it, right?

Now that they were threatened by the endless huge tree roots, no matter how foolish they were, they dared not be greedy any further, so they said goodbye and left.

Seeing that they were sensible, Xu Hui used the Wanxiang Sword to clear a path for them to leave.

She waited until the monks had left a certain range so that they could escape safely even if the tree roots caught up with them. Then she retracted the Wanxiang Sword and sent a secret message to Xu Haoying.

She had tried it before. After entering the secret realm, she could not contact anyone else. She didn't know whether it was because the spiritual talisman had lost its effect, or because of the limitations of her surroundings, but it was possible to transmit secret messages at close range.

"After you get out, if you can contact Mu Bai, bring him here! If you can't, tell him that I'm safe and don't worry!"

Xu Haoying paused, a hint of joy flashed across his face, and then he followed the monks out as if nothing had happened.

He was very familiar with this voice, it was the Second Young Master's wife!

He was also the benefactor who helped the two brothers change their destiny. He would never fail to hear it even if he was beaten to death.

Xu Haoying was excited in his heart, but he did not show it. He just nodded slightly.

He knew that the Second Young Master's wife would definitely see it.

Xu Hui saw it and understood what he meant. It seemed that as long as she was teleported to another dimension, others should be able to contact each other.

Otherwise, Xu Haoying would not have nodded so confidently, which means that he actually has a way to contact Wei Mubai.

This made her feel relieved. After the others left, she took back the Wanxiang Sword and let the tree roots wreak havoc on the entire desert.

Xu Haoying and others left the area and turned around to see the ferocious tree roots from afar. They all breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they met that kind-hearted senior, otherwise they would all have died here.

However, they looked at each other tacitly, but had no intention of leaving. Instead, they found a corner and contacted the high-level monks they could contact.

Wood Spirit Crystal! Who would be willing to give up such a precious spiritual treasure?

Even if they themselves cannot get it, once the news gets through and those high-level monks get it, they will also reward them with some good things.

This is common practice.

Sometimes the big guys are not as lucky as the novices, but the novices do not have that much strength. When they get an opportunity, they will contact high-level monks and exchange information for resources.

However, Xu Haoying was only a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, and those he met, even if they came from aristocratic families, were all at the bottom of the family. The direct descendants of aristocratic families had their own circles.

Therefore, the number of high-level cultivators they know is limited, at most up to the Jindan stage. If they want to go higher, they have to report to higher levels.

But Xu Haoying is different. He is Wei Mubai's direct subordinate and was recruited by Xu Hui. Wei Mubai would usually take care of him, so he has his direct contact information.

As soon as the spiritual message was connected, he used a special secret order to convey the news that Xu Hui was here.

Wei Mubai said without hesitation, "Wait for me!"

Immediately, the spiritual message was cut off, but Xu Haoying continued to send spiritual messages as if nothing had happened, as if he was looking for a few more people to trade information, and his behavior was no different from other people.

On the other side, as soon as Wei Mubai received the news, he immediately arranged for his deputy to take over the command temporarily, and Venerable Canglan was in charge to protect everyone's safety, while he brought Wei Yuan and rushed over in person.

However, due to the long distance between the two places, and the fact that there are alien dimensions everywhere in the secret realm, time and space are unstable, and it is easy to fall into the cracks in time and space, or get trapped in an alien dimension.

I had to give up teleporting and rely on flying, but it took a long time.

On Xu Hui's side, after seeing off Xu Haoying and his group, she carefully observed the violent tree roots in the space.

If her guess was correct, the Wood Stone Formation was used to collect Wood Spirit Crystals, so where were the Wood Spirit Crystals?

Apart from the Muyun Stone, all that remained in the sand were the tree roots, and the roots and the sand had the same origin...

She suddenly stood up, took out a magic sword from her space bracelet, and swung it at the tree roots dozens of times, instantly chopping the roots into sections.

But even after becoming like this, it was still not obedient and kept jumping around violently.

And because it was cut off, the Daotian wood monster could no longer restrain it and wanted to rush up to attack Xu Hui.

Xu Hui was not polite at all. He used the Qiankun Sword Technique, forming a dense sword net that trapped all the tree roots and cut them into fist-sized pieces.

Among these countless pieces of wood, there is one that is particularly special. From the old and twisted roots, a touch of transparent green leaks out. This green is full of vitality and vigor, which makes people feel happy at first sight.

Xu Hui has an affinity for plants. When she feels the green, she feels relaxed and happy.

That’s right, this is the Wood Spirit Crystal!

I didn’t expect that the extremely precious Wood Spirit Crystal was hidden in the roots of the tree.

Did she also destroy the tree roots that she destroyed with the Myriad Sword? And what about the Wood Spirit Crystal? Did she also turn it into quicksand?

Xu Hui looked at the countless tree roots outside the space and suddenly felt a great sense of getting rich overnight.

This is really... a big profit!

With so many Wood Spirit Crystals, she is simply the chosen one!

However, thinking that Xu Haoying and others would definitely call someone to snatch it from her after they left, she suddenly felt that her previous action was too hasty.

She should have knocked the man unconscious, collected all the wood spirit crystals, and then let him go!

Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret. Now I can only try my best to collect as much as possible before others arrive!

Then she thought of the Mu Yun Stone Formation, which was a more precious treasure, but unfortunately she couldn't even get close to it.

If you don't have enough cultivation and force your way in, you will only get seriously injured.

Xu Hui put aside all distracting thoughts and calmed down. He first kept the wood spirit crystal in his hand properly. Then, the Wanxiang Sword turned into a sharp stream of light and chopped all the remaining wood into quicksand.

Then, she concealed her breath and floated silently in the air like a breeze.

He cast the sword net again, slowly covering the intricate tree roots, easily extracting the wood spirit crystals, and the remaining tree roots disappeared.

Three days passed in a flash, and with Xu Hui's tireless work day and night, he had collected more than 600 wood spirit crystals.

However, compared with the dense and endless tree roots, it is still insignificant.

Xu Hui frowned and looked at the world outside the desert. The other cultivators should have arrived by then. Should she move all these tree roots into the planting space and then take the wood spirit crystals one by one?

But these tree roots were too violent, and this situation had not been expected before. There was no territory or formation in the space that could control them.

Putting it in hastily would only ruin the current layout. There were some very precious things in it that she didn't want to be destroyed.

At this moment, she hoped very much that Wei Mubai was by her side. If he were there, he could directly engrave a large formation in the space and put all these tree roots into it!

Xu Hui sighed, took out half of the trapping array disk, threw it into the vacant space in the space, then moved his body, shuttled between the tree roots, and cleared the surrounding area in an instant.

She put all of these into the space formation, there were more than 500 of them, but compared with the number in front of her, it was still pitifully small.

She had experienced the feeling of arriving at a treasure mountain but being able to take away only a little bit. It was so painful that it was heart-wrenching!

"Oh!" Xu Hui sighed, and the next second her eyes widened in surprise.

What is this called?

Speak of Cao Cao, will Cao Cao appear?

Two very familiar figures were seen rushing towards me from the distant sky. They were Wei Mubai and Wei Yuan.

Xu Hui was so surprised that she tore open the breath-suppressing talisman and jumped nimbly between the tree roots while waving at them happily.

Seeing that she was safe, Wei Mubai breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly rushed over, looked her up and down, then lowered his eyes and smiled, "Are you okay?"

Xu Hui nodded vigorously, "What a great opportunity! These tree roots are full of Wood Spirit Crystals. Quick, quick, go and burn a large trap array in the space. We can take away most of them before the others arrive!"

Wei Mubai turned his head slightly and waved his hand at the tree roots that had sensed the intruder and were attacking more and more frantically, "No need to go through so much trouble."

As soon as he finished speaking, vigorous spiritual energy began to vibrate silently, spreading outward in circles.

All the tree roots that came into contact with these spiritual powers turned into sand and flowed downwards, leaving only specks of green that emitted a lustrous and translucent luster, like green stars, filling the entire sky.

Xu Hui's eyes widened in surprise, "You have this trick?"

Wei Mubai nodded slightly at her, "The ethereal root is also the power of destruction."

What is emptiness? It is both nothingness and destruction! It can be everything, but it can also destroy everything!

Wei Mubai’s control over the spiritual power is so perfect that he can destroy the roots of trees while leaving behind wood spirit crystals.

He is so powerful, controlling everything, creating and destroying everything!

Of course, with his current Nascent Soul stage cultivation, he cannot do whatever he wants like a god, but that may not be the case in the future.

Wei Mubai waved his hand, and tens of thousands of wood spirit crystals piled up like a mountain in front of him.

He nodded at Xu Hui and said, "Put it away!"

Xu Hui was immediately upset. She had been busy for three days, but it was not even as fast as Wei Mubai's wave of his hand. If she had known this would happen, she would have...

Well, she will still diligently kill the tree roots. Who knows if Wei Mubai can get here?

What you get is yours, so Xu Hui released the things in the space and asked him to turn them into wood spirit crystals as well.

As for the rest, they all looked at Wei Yuan, "Senior?"

This meant asking him whether he wanted it or not. Since they were taking the risk together, they should naturally share the benefits equally.

They collected more than 10,000 pills, and there were more than 10,000 pills left. Wei Yuan could take them all away because he was stronger and he would be needed to take action later.

Wei Yuan said nothing. He glanced into the distance and sensed a powerful aura approaching quickly. He expanded his domain and directly took away all the tree roots. He said to them, "You go first. I will meet them."

What he meant was that he would hold these people back and let them leave first.

Wei Mubai didn't say anything, and rushed to the edge of the desert with Xu Hui's hidden figure and aura.

Those who came were cultivators above the Out-of-Body Stage, and we couldn’t let them know that Wei Mubai had taken away more than 10,000 Wood Spirit Crystals.

Even a Mahayana cultivator would be tempted by such a huge wood spirit crystal.

Wei Yuan took the initiative to stay and deal with it for their safety. After all, with his cultivation level, he was not afraid of anyone.

Moreover, he concealed his identity and followed Wei Mubai, so other people couldn't see it.

But if those people knew that Wei Mubai also had it, it would be troublesome for them to plot against the Wei family in the secret realm and snatch the Wood Spirit Crystal.

The two of them quickly rushed to the edge of the desert. At this time, the monks had already arrived, and they could sense any wind blowing on the grass.

Wei Mubai stopped decisively, wrapped the two of them with his ethereal roots, and stayed where he was.

As expected, those high-level monks did not notice them and rushed straight towards Wei Yuan, surrounding him.

"Hand over the Wood Spirit Crystal and I will spare your life!" An old cultivator in the Spirit Severing stage stared at Wei Yuan with greed in his eyes.

Wei Yuanjing stood in mid-air, looking at them coldly, "Want it? Then come and grab it!"

Seeing Wei Yuan being so arrogant, the cultivator in the Spirit Severing Stage roared angrily, quickly formed seals with his hands, and launched a powerful attack.

However, in Wei Yuan's eyes, his movements were as slow as a snail.

Wei Yuan curled up the corner of his mouth in a sneer, and his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot, leaving only a residual shadow.

Almost at the same time, the old monk's spell fell with a bang, but it only hit the place where Wei Yuan had previously stood, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Wei Yuan had already quietly appeared behind the cultivator. With a slight wave of his hand, a powerful spiritual power surged out like a tide, instantly submerging the cultivator.

"Hmph, you overestimate your abilities." Wei Yuan's voice rang out in the dust, filled with coldness and disdain.

When the dust settled, the cultivator in the Spirit Severing Stage had fallen to the ground, no longer breathing, and was obviously dead.

The expressions of the cultivators around changed drastically when they saw this. They didn't expect that Wei Yuan's strength was so terrifying that he could kill even a strong man in the Spirit Severing Stage in an instant.

For a moment, they didn't dare to act rashly. They just surrounded Wei Yuan from a distance and stared at him vigilantly.

Wei Yuan looked around, his eyes as sharp as ice, revealing a cold indifference to life and death.

He waved his hand lightly, and ten wood spirit crystals were summoned, floating in the air, flashing with alluring light.

"The Wood Spirit Crystal is right here, why don't you act quickly?" His voice was low and full of provocation. He fully enjoyed the excitement of being besieged by so many cultivators.

His provocative words were like sparks that ignited dry wood. A cultivator could no longer suppress his greed. He roared, raised the heavy hammer in his hand, and smashed it towards Wei Yuan with overwhelming force.

The power contained in the giant hammer seemed to tear the space apart, causing violent vibrations in the surrounding air, flying sand and rocks, covering the sky and the sun. The world seemed to be shrouded in a thick layer of chaos, losing its original color.

However, this energy that seemed to be able to destroy the world, when it came in front of Wei Yuan, it was as if the pause button was pressed, and it instantly solidified in mid-air.

The flying sand stopped dancing, the huge rocks hovered in the air, and the whole world seemed to have lost the passage of time at this moment.

"Is it really like this? It's so vulnerable?" Wei Yuan's tone was full of disappointment, and everyone felt a pang in their hearts.

"You are all trash! How dare you snatch things from me? Ha!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly raised his hand, and the boundless domain spread out, instantly bringing everyone within the scope of the domain.

Everyone felt that they were trapped in boundless fear, and inexplicable fear surrounded them.

Their eyes were filled with despair and fear, and their bodies trembled involuntarily, as if their souls had been sucked out by an invisible force, leaving only fear.

They tried to struggle and escape from this horrible place, but no matter how hard they tried, they seemed to be locked tightly by invisible shackles and could not move.

Their cultivation was useless at this moment. Whether they cast spells or used spiritual power, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, with no response at all.

Some people began to shout, trying to use sound to dispel the fear in their hearts, but their voices echoed in the realm, seeming even more empty and terrifying, and instead deepened their fear.

Others closed their eyes tightly, trying to fight with their wits, but their minds seemed to be swallowed by darkness, unable to find a glimmer of light.

They were hostile and attacked each other in an attempt to ease this inexplicable fear.

However, the more they fought, the stronger their opponents became. Fear overwhelmed them and they fell into endless darkness and despair.

Wei Yuan looked at them, his eyes revealing cruelty and mockery, which was a disregard for life.

He didn't take these people seriously at all. Killing them was no different from crushing an ant.

He slowly raised his hand, flicked his fingertips lightly, and the power in the boundless domain began to surge.

At the critical moment, a tremendous force came and impacted the realm, "Stop!"

A Mahayana cultivator came hurriedly, and a violent collision occurred between the realms, shaking the entire space to pieces.

As luck would have it, Wei Mubai and Xu Hui were standing right above the crack.

They were hit by the terrifying force in an instant, and their bodies were almost torn into pieces, and they fell heavily into the depths of the crack.

Wei Mubai completely ignored his own injuries. With his ethereal power, he suddenly swept Xu Hui and rushed towards the edge of the desert.

However, when they arrived at the edge of the desert, they were shocked to find that only Wei Mubai had successfully crossed the boundary, while Xu Hui seemed to be firmly bound by an invisible force and could only stay in the desert.

This sudden change startled both of them for a moment.

Wei Mubai reacted quickly, came to his senses in an instant, rushed back without hesitation, hugged Xu Hui, and tried to break out again.

However, no matter how hard he tried, the results were disappointing - Xu Hui seemed to be under some mysterious restriction and could never take a single step out of the desert.

This series of movements undoubtedly alarmed the newly arrived Mahayana cultivator.

A heart-pounding pressure, as heavy as a mountain, surged in from afar. Along with this pressure came an even more terrifying realm, as if it was about to envelope the entire world.
