In the lush jungle, six figures darted through the gaps between the tree trunks, flying towards the interior of the Tree Demon Clan.
Summer Sky was among them.
While flying through the air, he also observed his surroundings.
This place is lush and verdant, with all sorts of trees standing tall and majestic. Along the way, you can see all kinds of strange and wonderful trees.
Some of them don't even look like trees; instead, they resemble wood carvings of wild animals. Some even grow horizontally close to the ground.
As they approached the inner area, the number of tree monsters increased.
Most of the tree spirits have already been able to transform into human form, gathering together to form small villages in the jungle.
At the same time, many tree spirits have not yet reached the strength to transform into human form and can only remain in their tree form, moving on the ground using their roots.
The entire settlement of the Tree Demon Clan has very few buildings; even those that exist are just small wooden huts.
It looks very harmonious with its surroundings.
Summer Qiong followed three elders and flew to the base of a huge withered tree. They entered the tree hole and saw a magnificent golden palace inside.
"This is where our clan holds meetings. Let's chat here, and we'll arrange accommodations for you later."
The elder of the Yinshan tribe smiled warmly, as if he had a guest in his home.
Suddenly, it pointed its right hand to the ground, and a silver stream of light shot out, disappeared into the ground, and a tender sprout instantly grew out.
The bud grew at an extremely fast pace, and in the blink of an eye, it grew into a small tree more than a meter tall.
The tree had few leaves, but many branches, which were thin and long. Then, it began to wriggle and weave together into a flat surface.
Xia Tianqiong glanced at it and realized it was a table!
But that wasn't all. A thin branch in the center of the table continued to grow, and after growing another twenty or thirty centimeters, it immediately blossomed and bore fruit.
The fruit was purplish-red, grew to the size of a fist, and fell off on its own, breaking in two on the table.
There were three fruits in total, which were broken into six pieces, making them look like six empty bowls.
It was completely empty inside, with neither pulp nor seeds.
Xia Tianqiong was secretly curious when the Silver Fir Clan Elder suddenly looked at the Monkey Clan Elder. Then, the Monkey Clan Elder reluctantly plucked a few green leaves from his head and threw one into each of the empty bowls.
The Silver Fir Elder waved his hand again, and six small water spheres materialized out of thin air, boiling and radiating intense heat.
The small water droplets landed accurately in six bowls, immediately releasing the aroma of tea.
The aroma of this tea is so refreshing that even a whiff of it in Xia Tianqiong makes her feel invigorated and relaxed.
"Excellent tea! Excellent craftsmanship!"
Seeing this, he finally understood that the other party's actions were merely a way of serving tea to guests.
At the same time, a chair grew out behind each person present in the same way.
The elder of the Yinshan tribe said with a smile, "Please sit down, have some tea, and let's chat while we drink."
Xia Tianqiong didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly.
The old woman in the funeral clothes and the boy with glasses followed closely behind, and judging from their expressions, they seemed quite interested in the tea as well.
After everyone was seated, the old lady in the funeral clothes was the first to pick up her teacup and take a small sip.
"It is indeed excellent tea. I haven't tasted such good tea in hundreds of years."
Its words were not only a compliment, but also a way of telling Xia Tianqiong that the tea was not poisonous and that she could drink it without worry.
Xia Tianqiong nodded with a smile before picking up her teacup.
First, bring it to your nose and take a gentle inhale; the aroma of tea instantly invades your brain, invigorating your spirit.
I took a sip, and the result was a bit unexpected.
The pale green tea soup had little flavor when it entered my mouth, but a mysterious power surged through my body, making me feel incredibly refreshed.
Crucially, it also has the effect of strengthening the body!
Xia Tianqiong's eyes lit up, and he turned to look at the Monkey Clan Elder.
Looking at it from head to toe, this thing is almost entirely covered in slender green leaves. If it were to transform back into its original tea tree form, it could probably produce a lot of tea leaves.
"Is this tea for sale?"
"Not for sale!"
The elder of the Monkey Clan immediately turned pale, feeling as if he were being treated like merchandise, a blatant insult.
The elder of the Silver Fir tribe explained with a smile, "This tea comes from its own body. Every time a leaf is removed, it causes damage to the plant. Therefore, this tea is never sold; it is only served to distinguished guests."
"That's a real shame."
Xia Tianqiong didn't insist any further and continued drinking her tea.
The elder of the Silver Fir tribe took a sip of tea, and then finally began to ask questions.
"Young friend Xia, may I ask why you went to ambush the Leng family's ghost general? And why did the rune tree stump of my Tree Ghost Clan end up in your hands?"
“That tree stump was sold to me by the young master of the Leng family. He didn’t tell me it belonged to you.”
At this point, Xia Tianqiong put down his teacup, his face filled with resentment. "As for why I ambushed the Leng family's cunning general, it's because I have a deep grudge against the Leng family."
Last year, I came to the Ghost Realm to participate in an auction hosted by the Void Ghost Clan and bought a floating island orchard. I never expected that the Leng family had secretly set up a teleportation array inside the floating island.
Not long ago, the head of the Leng family led an invasion of the human world, and they actually managed to enter my Sky Island Orchard directly through the formation. They not only killed my subordinates, but also tried to capture me as a slave. This is simply outrageous.
I was hunted by the Leng family for a long time, and finally entered this strange realm by chance through a spatial rift.
During the previous pursuit, I captured a fierce ghost from the Leng family and obtained a formation token from it, which allows me to enter the floating island of the Void Ghost Clan silently without triggering the formation.
So I planned to assassinate one of the Leng family's treacherous generals to weaken their strength and vent my hatred. Unfortunately, I only managed to wound one general before the Leng family patriarch led his troops back. I was then pursued again and fled all the way here.
