The demon-like and terrifying tree in front of them had turned into dead branches and leaves at some point. The pustules on its body burst open one by one, and all the poisonous bees inside were dead. An unpleasant smell filled the air!

"The Godly Evil Tree Heart!"

Suddenly someone shouted, and everyone's spirits were lifted. The entire body of the Divine Evil Tree was made of top-grade materials, and any branch was priceless. The most precious of them was the Divine Evil Tree Heart. A complete Divine Evil Tree Heart was only about one meter long, but it was the essence of the entire tree and the only holy material in the entire tree.

The reason why the City Defense Office headquarters loaned out five spiritual-grade equipment was also because of the Divine Evil Tree Heart. If the Divine Evil Tree Heart could be obtained, let alone five spiritual-grade weapons, even five more would not be a problem.

Xu Nantian and the others did not care about Xu Feng, and rushed towards the Divine Evil Tree, wanting to find the more than one-meter-long tree core from the body of the Divine Evil Tree that was more than 300 meters high. Even if it was not like finding a needle in a haystack, it was almost the same. They had to do it as soon as possible, otherwise, if the news was leaked accidentally, hundreds of thousands of secret realm apostles in the entire Songtao City might flock over.

"Hmm, it stinks. Why does this evil tree stink so badly? It seems like it has been rotting for a long time..."

"Could it be that it was originally a stinky tree? It didn't smell bad when it was alive, so why is it like this after it's dead?"

"There are so many dead bodies of poisonous bees. Hey, do you think these dead bodies are valuable? I heard that the dead bodies of wasps can be used as medicine. Do these dead bees have the same effect?"

"Hiss, why are the branches of this God's Evil Tree so rotten? Like rotten wood, they turn into powder with a pinch! Isn't it said that the branches of the God's Evil Tree can be used as alchemical materials?"

"It's really strange. In its current state, it's not even as good as ordinary wood. How can it be used as an alchemical material..."

"Let's dig it open first and look for the heart of the Divine Evil Tree. It's a holy material, so it shouldn't rot so quickly, right?"

…

The huge branches of the Divine Evil Tree turned into a pile of rotten wood. Everyone looked at Xu Feng with strange eyes. This change of the Divine Evil Tree might be related to Xu Feng, and it might even be caused by Xu Feng.

After working for a long time, everyone returned empty-handed. They all looked at Xu Nantian in confusion. In addition, many people secretly glanced at Xu Feng, as if Xu Feng had taken away all the benefits in the end.

"Xu Feng, come here!" Xu Nantian frowned slightly, called Xu Feng to him, and said, "We were all stunned by the soul scream of the Divine Evil Tree before. Tell me, how did you kill it in the end?"

"It was my fighting spirit..." Xu Feng smiled bitterly and said, "My fighting spirit can cause soul damage. After I revealed its soul body, my fighting spirit tore its soul into pieces and devoured it all. The Godly Sin Tree died immediately!"

"My fighting spirit has fallen into a deep sleep because it devoured the soul fragments of the Divine Evil Tree. Then you all woke up, and I didn't even have the time to get close to the Divine Evil Tree!" Xu Feng said, spreading his hands.

“As the saying goes, when the spirit is scattered, the body will perish. Without the soul, even if this divine tree has a strong recovery ability, it will be of no use…” Li Dong, who was standing by, subconsciously supported his nose bridge, then realized that his glasses were gone. He smiled awkwardly and explained.

"That heart of the evil god tree..." Xu Nantian's face turned black. He made such a big fuss, but in the end, not to mention the heart of the evil god tree, he didn't even get an ordinary branch of the evil god tree. The benefits were totally disproportionate to the effort. He couldn't even explain it to the headquarters.

"No matter what, our goal has been achieved. At least we have saved Songtao City!" Zhou Zhi said in a low voice.

But now, after the Divine Evil Tree was killed, nothing exploded at the scene except the corpse of the Divine Evil Tree that was crushed into powder.

"Could it be that there is an error in the memory of the previous life, or that the information obtained in the previous life was inaccurate, and the ancient tree secret realm was not created after the death of the Divine Evil Tree?" Xu Feng thought to himself.

At this moment, Xu Feng suddenly felt the secret realm on his body start to tremble slightly, and then the connection with him was cut off, which shocked him! "Could it be that the ancient tree secret realm has already appeared, but because I killed the Godly Tree and automatically obtained the secret realm core, it directly merged with my secret realm on my body?" Xu Feng thought to himself.

You should know that even if you obtain the secret realm core of a secret realm, not all secret realms are suitable for a portable secret realm. If the properties are incompatible, the two secret realms cannot be merged at all. At that time, the portable secret realm can only swallow the secret realm core.

But although devouring the secret realm core can improve the quality of the portable secret realm, doing so is undoubtedly a waste of resources. You know, a secret realm, even a lowest-level zero-level secret realm, the resources produced can bring about earth-shaking changes to an ordinary family. Even if a secret realm apostle who has a portable secret realm obtains it, he will rarely choose to directly devour the secret realm core.

…

The battle was over, the Divine Tree was completely killed, and at least two to three thousand apostles of the secret realm died. However, compared with the previous life, the losses were indeed reduced a lot. Killing such a tree man without any gain would be a depressing experience for anyone.

A few days later, the City Defense Office headquarters even sent someone to investigate the incident, but it seemed to be left unsolved in the end. However, the entire Songtao City Defense Office was somewhat embarrassed by the incident. Whenever the people in the Songtao City Defense Office saw Xu Feng, they would secretly look at him with a strange look. Xu Nantian even quietly called him into the office and asked him about the whole process.

"You little bastard, more than half of our City Defense Department's more than one hundred combatants were killed or wounded, and we didn't get a penny, but you got the advantage!" Xu Nantian stared at Xu Feng with anger on his face.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

The news that Xu Feng's fighting spirit devoured the soul of the Divine Evil Tree, which was equivalent to devouring the entire essence of the Divine Evil Tree, leading to the second advancement of the fighting spirit, had spread throughout the City Defense Office. Although Xu Feng's fighting spirit was still dormant, Xu Feng's aura was becoming stronger day by day, and it was obvious that he was comparable to a third-level apostle.

"If it weren't for me, would you be able to kill the Divine Evil Tree relying on just a few of you?" Xu Feng sat on the sofa in Xu Nantian's office with a look of disdain on his face.

"Without me, the entire City Defense Office would be wiped out. I tell you!" Xu Feng said confidently, "Not only the City Defense Office, but even the entire Songtao City would be mostly destroyed. Now, let alone you, a small director of the City Defense Office, even the mayor of Songtao City would be grateful to me!"

Seeing Xu Feng's reckless look, Xu Nantian took a deep breath, pointed at the office door and growled, "Get out!"

Xu Feng shrugged indifferently and walked out of Xu Nantian's office. Xu Nantian stared at the closed office door for a long time. After a long time, an inexplicable smile appeared on his face, and he cursed in a low voice: "Stinky boy!"

Xu Feng walked out of the office, and suddenly his whole body felt a chill, and his aura began to boil uncontrollably. In his mind, the Dragon Blood Shura Vine that had originally curled up into a ball seemed to wake up from a deep sleep, and slowly stretched out its vines.
