Chapter 44: Fire on Jianmu, Cuttings
"What are those bad guys out there doing?"
On the Dongcang Jianmu, the 'little green snake' coiled on the branches, its skin seemed to merge with the Jianmu, camouflaging itself to avoid being exposed.
But the "little green snake" could sense clearly what was happening outside.
However, Lu Zhong's actions made the 'little green snake' confused. Instead, it regarded it as a threat and did not dare to move at all, fearing that it would attract the attention of its natural enemy.
'Natural enemy' was the last label that this 'little green snake' gave to Lu Zhong.
Since its birth, the 'little green snake' has had very few natural enemies due to its powerful talents. Even those ferocious beasts that have lived in the sea for many years may not be able to hurt it.
Jianmu also has the ability to hide.
There are few ferocious beasts coming to the island! Facing those innocent eyes, Lu Zhong had an idea.
"No way?"
Lu Zhong had a guess in his mind, and at the same time a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes. His intuition was probably the truth.
The other person might still be a baby! At this moment, he heard a muffled sound coming from under his feet.
"Your Excellency, this young dragon loves to play and eat. You might as well give it something delicious or fun. Maybe it will agree with you!"
An old jade turtle as big as a millstone at his feet stretched its head out and cautiously made some moves at the edge, its pea-sized eyes full of fear.
"You have a lot of ideas, don't you?"
Lu Zhong glanced at the cowardly old turtle with strange eyes.
But what this black turtle said is right!
No matter how famous this Ancestral Dragon will be in the future, at the moment he is just a newly born intelligence, and is still curious and playful.
The green-skinned old turtle held back his voice and flattered, "Your Excellency, every time I went to the island in the past, I would have brought some fish and shrimp from the sea. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to use the title of the king to intimidate foreign enemies!"
Hearing this, Lu Zhong followed suit and fetched some delicacies from the sea, but it was obviously of limited use as the little green snake did not appear.
Lu Zhong thought that this little dragon might be picky about food, so he immediately ordered the black tortoise to go to the sea to fetch the belongings, which contained precious deep-sea medicines and sent them to Jianmu. However, he still couldn't lure out this "little green snake"! Even when Lu Zhong tried to lure it with all kinds of delicacies from the human world, he couldn't call out the frightened little green snake.
In anger, Lu Zhong immediately took his anger out on the black turtle.
"It doesn't work. Old turtle, you dare to deceive this god. Do you know how to write the word death?"
"God, I dare not! Something must have gone wrong!"
The old turtle was so frightened that he begged for mercy repeatedly.
In front of the cliff, looking at the Jianmu sacred tree towering into the sky, Lu Zhong's eyes were calm, and he secretly guessed in his heart that he actually believed what the old turtle said.
The black turtle didn't dare to deceive him at this time.
Lu Zhong felt that it might be the innate fire spirit light that frightened the "little green snake".
The Innate Fire Spirit Divine Light is a body-protecting divine light that he extracted with the Innate Fire Spirit as its origin essence. Lu Zhong is very clear about its power.
After all, this "little green snake" was just born not long ago and its intelligence is not very high!
"Forget it, I'll just have to be rude!"
A hint of coldness flashed across Lu Zhong's face, and he glanced at the Jianmu sacred tree in the distance.
After all, he doesn't have much time! He can't miss such a treasure! He is not greedy. If this treasure has an owner, he will not easily be tempted. But now is the time to seize it. He can't miss such a thing that can change his destiny! A trace of coldness flashed in his eyes. At this moment, whether it was the black tortoise under his feet, the "little green snake" in the distance, or the spirit of the Jianmu sacred tree, they all felt a chill in their hearts.
There is a sense of bad luck in life!
The next moment, a ray of blazing fire flew up into the sky with Lu Zhong's movement. The rosy clouds broke through the clouds and transformed into a scorching sun that towered above the sea, just like the sun bathing in the East China Sea.
A blazing flame rose up and landed on a point on the Jianmu barrier, burning wildly.
The Jianmu sacred tree emanated a rich green divine light all over its body, trying its best to maintain the barrier and protect the thousand-foot void around it, just like a round green jade egg, as if it were a world of its own.
However, when the fire that melted the heaven and earth fell, a part of the green divine light was ignited and pierced through.
After all, this Jianmu tree is not yet the one known as the World Tree in the myth.
Lu Zhong had long seen that the origin of this Jianmu tree was rooted deep in the earth's veins. Although it could borrow the power of the earth in the Dongji Divine Realm, its power was extremely limited. At least it was still very different from the world tree that supported the heaven and earth.
The Jianmu barrier could not stop the violent burning of the innate fire spirit's light.
A spark of fire sank into the barrier, and Lu Zhong's figure gradually appeared beside the thousand-foot-high Jianmu Mountain. A strong scent of grass and trees came from the heat wave.
There is also a burnt smell.
I saw that the branches on one side of Jianmu were already on fire, and thick smoke was rising from all the tender and green branches.
At this time, spiritual light continued to emerge from the Jianmu sacred tree, generating five elements of water mist in an attempt to extinguish the spiritual fire, but its effect was limited and it could not isolate it.
Lu Zhong put his fingers together like a sword, and a divine force swept across a small branch, sweeping it away into his hand.
“Got it!”
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Lu Zhong noticed that the small piece of tree branch was crystal clear and green, just like a pool of emerald light. He secretly praised it and quickly put it away.
After cutting off a small section of the branch of the sacred Jianmu tree, Lu Zhong used his spiritual power to actively extinguish the fire on the branch of the Jianmu tree.
Half an hour.
When the fire was extinguished, the scene was suddenly too horrible to look at.
The power of innate spiritual fire is not easy to deal with.
The branches of the thousand-foot-old tree are green on one side and charred on the other side. The green leaves on one side are lush and verdant, while the other side is bare and black as ink.
However, with the powerful vitality of the Jianmu sacred tree, Lu Zhong estimated that he would only lose a little origin and vitality, and should be able to recover.
Sacred trees are rare, and if possible, he does not want to completely eradicate such a treasure out of his own selfishness.
As for the 'little green snake' that took the opportunity to hide, Lu Zhong was not going to have any contact with it again.
I originally wanted to give this little snake a deeper impression, and now it should be very "deep"!
After picking a small piece of Jianmu branch, Lu Zhong searched the surrounding islands and seas. Wherever the Jianmu sacred tree grows, there must be treasures.
After leaving, Lu Zhong took the opportunity to suck out the gray stone fragments from the black turtle's body.
This old turtle was quite docile, so Lu Zhong had no intention of harming its life!
After leaving, Lu Zhong took another look at the timid black turtle below, and some conjectures flashed through his mind. What kind of existence is this old turtle that can get close to Zulong? Many famous black turtles flashed through Lu Zhong's mind.
Lord Xuanwu?
The black turtle that supports the sky in the North Sea?
Or is he the ancestor of the Black Turtle clan, the chief steward of Dragon Palace?
Or maybe he overestimated it this time, such a timid guy, maybe he is just an ordinary black turtle? "He is kind-hearted after all!" After Lu Zhong left, the black turtle was full of gratitude. It had no other skills, but it was good at seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster. It had sensed the coming of death before! ...
Within the evil eye, after his true body returned, Lu Zhong, who had been petrified, immediately returned to the Demon Suppression Palace.
“I have obtained the Dongji Jianmu Spirit Seed, but it is difficult for a Fire God like me to grow the Jianmu Spirit Seed!”
Lu Zhong looked at the branch of Jianmu that had separated from Jianmu but was still emitting a strong life aura, and he began to have a headache.
"How about trying the cutting method?"
