Chapter 624 Chapter 626 Blossom and Fruit
The waving tree roots in the sky could not penetrate the hard ice, nor could they avoid the scorching flames. The roots made crackling sounds in the burning flames. The evolved red nematodes on the main roots were as big as an adult's fist, with light red and somewhat transparent wings and very sharp teeth. Driven by the dead blood tree's evolutionary instinct, the giant red nematodes flapped their wings and attacked Rong Xianxian. Countless pairs of scarlet insect compound eyes stared at her, revealing a naked desire to eat.
Swarms of red nematodes instantly surged in front of Rong Xianxian like surging waves. The protective suit on her body could not bear the weight and soon made cracking sounds. The Vajra Talisman also broke one after another. Seeing Rong Xianxian being submerged by the sea of worms, the outsider hiding in the air felt his mood fluctuate wildly. He clenched his fists in triumph. However, the next moment, he felt a sight that made him feel uneasy. He saw the giant dragon's flaming eyes staring at his position, and opened its mouth to spray a sky-burning flame towards him.
With a "crash", the treasure Lingwen Treasure Mirror bestowed by the master was shattered, and the outsider fell out from mid-air.
The Lingwen Treasure Mirror can completely isolate the user's body and breath, making the user feel as if they are in another space. It also has a very high protective function, making it a very powerful defensive magic weapon. But now, such a powerful treasure has been destroyed.
Faced with the current situation, the outsider had no time to feel sorry for the treasure. He hurriedly took out a sword and stood on it to steady his body. At this moment, the overwhelming tree roots pounced towards him like sharks smelling blood, and at the same time, dense swarms of insects also pounced towards him.
The outsider took out a dark Ruyi-shaped weapon from the space container, and while controlling the flying sword, he fought with the swarm of tree root insects. The dark Ruyi gave off a pungent smell, which made the swarm of insects retreat, and the tree roots seemed to be suppressed as well.
However, surrounded by a sea of insects, Rong Xianxian used ice magic to create a solid ice barrier around her body, freezing the red nematodes and blocking their invasion. The Burning Sky Fire Dragon continuously spewed flames at the main roots of the Dead Blood Tree. In this life-and-death crisis, the roots of the Dead Blood Tree surrounding the outsider attacked him like crazy. The Dead Blood Tree urgently needed energy to complete its evolution. Seeing this, the outsider hurriedly patted himself, forming a halo around his body to keep the roots of the Dead Blood Tree out.
The outsider had just breathed a sigh of relief when a black gun barrel extended from the ice wall in front of Rong Xianxian. With a "bang", a cannonball exploded on the halo, and the halo swayed like ripples on the water. With a "bang", another cannonball hit the halo, and some fine lines appeared on the halo, and then it returned to its original state in a very short time.
The roots of the dead blood tree seemed to have found a flaw in the halo protective shield. The slender and curved roots explored the halo protective shield as if looking for a water source.
With a "boom", another shell hit the halo, and with a "bang", the halo's protective shield shattered into pieces, and the outsider hiding behind it turned around and fled.
More roots were coming towards him. The outsider took out a jade talisman from his arms and crushed it in his hand with a bang. It was a teleportation talisman that could teleport him to a place one kilometer away. Unfortunately, a thick root had already pierced into his thigh, and then more roots wrapped around it. The teleportation talisman teleported him and these roots out together.
The outsider was at the peak of the Blood Refining Realm, with abundant blood and spiritual energy in his body. The Nine-branched Blood Tree was nourished by the outsider's flesh and blood, and its appearance quickly changed. The tree became smaller, and the overwhelming red nematodes returned to the roots. The thousands of roots slowly turned from earthy brown to black-gray, and then to grayish white, and finally dissipated and returned to the soil. The huge blood mist swamp under the Nine-branched Blood Tree lost its blood color, and the blood mist that filled the dead tree forest also gradually dissipated.
The Nine-branched Dead Blood Tree, which was originally ten meters tall, slowly shrank and became only two meters tall. The evolved dead blood tree was crystal clear all over, like a finely carved jade. The tree had nine branches, and the nine branches surrounded the glowing flower blooming on the central trunk like stars surrounding the moon.
This flower is as big as a bowl, with plump white petals and a stamen that shines with dazzling golden light, truly dazzling and colorful.
Rong Xianxian stared at the flower, quickly searching her mind for information about the flower, but to no avail.
Suddenly, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth gathered towards the flower. The spiritual energy was rich, the petals closed, and the whole tree was emitting a dazzling light. A wonderful fragrance floated in the air. The light dissipated, and a sparkling, bluish-white fruit appeared where the flower had originally grown.
The fruit is the size of a half-pound apple, round in shape, with radial lines on the top.
Rong Xianxian stared at the bluish-white fruit without blinking. The fruit seemed to contain pure energy, making people eager to swallow it in one gulp.
The main purpose of the outsider hiding here must be for this fruit!
They even went so far as to design a way to force the blood-stained tree to complete the process of flowering and fruiting as quickly as possible. So what is the main purpose of this fruit? The answer should be available from outsiders.
Rong Xianxian flew on the flying carpet to the dead blood tree and reached out to pick the fruit.
However, her hands seemed to be out of control and she couldn't pick the fruit no matter what.
Rong Xianxian was so angry that she wanted to chop down the tree. The giant dragon phantom opened its mouth towards the dead blood tree. The dead blood tree shook and the fruit fell straight into Rong Xianxian's hands.
The fruit fell off the branch, and the crystal clear blood tree ran away as if it had legs, and soon disappeared without a trace.
The crisis was resolved, the giant dragon's shadow suddenly became smaller and flew into the body of the human figure in the shadow.
"Alie!" Rong Xianxian shouted.
"Sister Rong!" The figure in the giant dragon's shadow was Cui Lie.
"Alie, why are you here?" Rong Xianxian asked with some concern.
Cui Lie holds a military post and is not free to move. I wonder if he came here for official duties or on his own initiative?
Cui Lie's arrival did solve a problem for her. Otherwise, facing the attack of the dead blood tree and the indiscriminate artillery fire of the army, she would probably have no choice but to hide in the foggy space.
However, there are outsiders in the dark, lurking covetously. If she hides in the foggy space, she doesn't know whether the outsiders will discover the traces of her entering the space, nor does she know what other tricks the outsiders have.
