Hearing Chen Zhou's words, Yu Qirui was completely relieved. A person who could sincerely say such a thing must not be a bad person.
“Great! I’m really grateful to you! I can guarantee that this formation will only bring you benefits, not harm,” Yu Qirui said.
Yu Qirui had already invited a formation master from the Tianyun Association on behalf of the tribe and was in full charge of the matter, so he naturally had some understanding of that divine formation.
Last time, I was blind and mistook someone for someone else.
Yu Qirui will definitely not make the same mistake as last time.
He believed that Chen Dachuan was the best candidate.
"Then lead the way." Chen Zhou looked at the excited Yu Qirui and didn't know what to say, so he could only awkwardly say.
Although Yu Junya saw that Chen Zhou was willing to help save Inatael, she was still a little down. Not all array masters could set up that divine array, and she didn't know if this first-level array master was reliable.
Yu Junya was very grateful for Chen Zhou's help and immediately changed her opinion of him. However, this was another matter entirely.
Yu Qirui led Chen Zhou toward the sacred tree, with Yu Junya following behind them.
At this moment, the old clan chief had not yet left, because he did not know what to do with the crystal-clear poisonous tree root on the ground.
The other injured Inathal people were taken back to their tribes, and the scene was somewhat desolate for a time.
The poisonous tree root detached from the body, and all the venom was gone, leaving only a green-glowing root in place.
"Chieftain, what should we do with the roots of this poisonous tree?" Yu Qirui asked.
This was the first time in a hundred years that they had encountered such a situation. The roots of the poisonous tree had no effect on them, so they had no experience in how to use them.
"I don't know how to deal with the roots of this poisonous tree. My true energy gets corroded by the roots as soon as it gets close, let alone using my hands," the old patriarch said helplessly.
This is indeed very frustrating; the divine tree can create a miracle every hundred years – the roots of the divine tree.
Every year, a poisonous tree root is created.
The roots of the sacred tree and the roots of the poisonous tree represent two extremes: one is extremely beneficial to the Inata tribe, while the other is extremely harmful to them. Perhaps this is what is meant by a double-edged sword.
"So, are we going to keep people stationed here indefinitely?" Yu Qirui asked the old clan chief.
"It seems that this is the only way to prevent the roots of the poisonous tree from falling into the wrong hands," the old patriarch said after thinking for a moment, as there was indeed no better solution at the moment.
Just then, Chen Zhou seemed to sense the call of the poisonous tree roots ahead, and he stared intently at them.
The feeling was like someone was constantly calling you, and Chen Zhou couldn't help but look at the roots of the poisonous tree.
“Young man, you have a special connection with the roots of this poisonous tree,” Elder Ren said at this moment.
Chen Zhou was completely bewildered. Fate? What fate?
"The root of this poisonous tree is perfectly suited to you. If you absorb it, it will only increase your strength," Elder Ren replied.
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhou recalled the gray lion that had absorbed the roots of the poisonous tree, and the venom flowing from its body made Chen Zhou feel extremely disgusted.
Chen Zhou absolutely did not want to become like that, and faced with the allure of the poisonous tree's roots, he hesitated.
"Don't overthink it. The root of this poisonous tree isn't what you imagine! Do you think it will give you what you want?" Elder Ren directly shattered Chen Zhou's illusions.
"The effects of absorbing the roots of this poisonous tree vary from person to person," Elder Ren added.
Just as Elder Ren finished speaking, Chen Zhou still did not want to absorb the root of the poisonous tree. At this moment, the true essence of Chen Zhou's first pupil technique shone brightly once again, and a formation eye instantly appeared below the root of the poisonous tree.
Chen Zhou was startled; that was the very core of the Dragon Imprisoning Formation!
Chen Zhou can now instantly locate the core of the Dragon Imprisoning Formation, which means that he is not far from being able to instantly cast the Dragon Imprisoning Formation!
As Chen Zhou expected, the Dragon Imprisonment Formation appeared in the next second, forming a small cage that surrounded the roots of the poisonous tree and slowly flew towards Chen Zhou.
"Who are you?!" The old clan chief shouted at Chen Zhou immediately upon seeing the sudden turn of events.
The scene immediately descended into chaos.
Yu Qirui and Yu Junya became hostile towards Chen Zhou.
"Chen Dachuan! What are you doing?!" Yu Qirui said angrily.
Hearing this, Chen Zhou would have no way to defend himself, even if he had a hundred mouths to do so.
Nevertheless, Chen Zhou still wanted to argue, but the root of the poisonous tree was already in front of him, and Chen Zhou had no time to pay attention to the other three people on the field.
Everyone watched as the root of the poisonous tree slowly merged into Chen Zhou's body, appearing in his dantian as soon as it entered.
A dark green aura was continuously injected into Chen Zhou's dantian.
As soon as these auras appeared, Chen Zhou's dantian immediately became chaotic. The originally calm and still energy was constantly circulating and supplying power to his limbs. At this time, the Poison Tree Root not only turned the originally snow-white true energy into dark green, but the Poison Tree Root also absorbed the true energy in Chen Zhou's dantian.
"Who is this person? Is he an undercover agent again?" The old patriarch frowned as he watched Chen Zhou sit down to absorb the roots of the poisonous tree. Now he could make his move and kill Chen Zhou.
“He is a formation master. I personally commissioned him to help our tribe set up a divine formation,” Yu Qirui said honestly.
"Haven't you learned your lesson from last time?" the old patriarch said angrily, as if the bloody lesson from last time was replaying in his mind.
"Elder Chief, I'm willing to stake my life on it," Yu Qirui said to the elder chief.
Yu Junya tried to stop Yu Qirui, but it was no use. Yu Qirui had made up his mind, and even if she wanted to, she couldn't stop him.
"Can you guarantee the lives of the entire tribe with your own life?!" the old chieftain continued angrily, but did not choose to take action.
Even if they kill Chen Zhou now, the root of the poisonous tree will likely reappear, and they will still be helpless against it.
At this moment, Yu Qirui believed that the best way was to take a gamble. If they won, then the root of the poisonous tree would be equivalent to the reward that Natal gave to Chen Zhou, and Chen Zhou would help them set up the formation.
If the gamble fails, with his and the old patriarch's strength, are they afraid they won't be able to keep a Foundation Establishment cultivator alive?
That gray lion was an eighth-level spirit beast. Even after upgrading to ninth level with the help of the Poison Tree Root, it was still no match for the old patriarch. Moreover, they also had the super combat power Yu Junya, who wielded a soul weapon.
It's wishful thinking for Chen Zhou to escape with his Foundation Establishment stage strength alone.
"Elder Chief, please trust me one more time!" Yu Qirui said sincerely, cupping his hands in a gesture of respect.
Life is sometimes a gamble; if you win, you gain everything.
