Can Yunze defeat a tree demon at the level of a demon king?
Of course he can! But even though he can defeat the tree demon in front of him, what if there are even more powerful beings in this space?
It wouldn't be good if we caused any trouble and implicated Qianqian and the others.
They should keep a low profile as much as possible; finding someone is the priority!
However, the ground was really hard to step on. Fortunately, neither of them were fussy people, and they were just about to step over these snakes, insects, and rodents to get to the other side.
At this moment, Yu Zhao on Yun Ze's waist flickered, and a childish voice rang in Yun Ze's ear.
“Master, there’s something good inside that tree, and Zhao Zhao wants it.”
Yunze reached out and pressed the small mirror at his waist. He never expected that Yu Zhao would find what he wanted in this smoky and chaotic place.
What Yu Zhao wants is definitely a spatial treasure that can help it upgrade itself.
This space overlaps with the Blue Star region, and the fact that Qianqian and the others were deceived and landed here must be closely related to what Yu Zhao wants.
He sensed again and had already pinpointed Qianqian's location.
However, in order to avoid causing trouble, they cannot use their power indiscriminately.
He must find them quietly first; only when their safety is guaranteed can he freely do other things.
"Find Qianqian first, then I'll come back here to get your things later."
Yu Zhao struggled twice in Yun Ze's palm, somewhat unwilling; it really wanted that thing.
But since Yunze had already said that, there was nothing it could do. It could only suppress its own urgent desire and go find someone first.
Just as Yunze was about to leave, Chuzhou grabbed him.
He held a test tube in his hand, waved it at Yunze, and then transmitted his voice to him.
"This is a reagent purified from perfume bugs. I've added many other things and made an improved version specifically for soul-based aphrodisiacs, which I've named Soul Hook. As long as this tree has sentience, it can be brought down silently without leaving a trace. How about it, give it a try?"
"Can you really take it down without leaving a trace?"
"The probability of knocking him down is 80%, and the probability of leaving no trace is 60%."
Eighty percent, sixty percent—for Chu Zhou, that's already a very high percentage. He's a crazy scientist who'd experiment even with just a ten percent chance of success.
"Give it a try. Anyway, the chances of getting to the other side silently without using magic are not high."
Chu Zhou is right. These roots scattered all over the ground are the eyes and ears of this tree demon.
There's a considerable distance between here and the other side, making it difficult to cross without being spotted.
"Are you sure you can take it down? It's a genuine demon king, only one level below me in cultivation, and this is its lair, its home turf."
When Chu Zhou heard Yun Ze ask this question, his eyes lit up instantly.
Put the test tube back into the storage space and take out another one.
"This dose and its effect are doubled. If you're not on guard, it could easily knock you out."
When Yunze heard him say that, his hair stood on end, and his wariness of Chuzhou reached its peak.
"What kind of look is that? I won't use that on you. I swear on my research career and Kaka that if I break this oath, may I never be able to do research again, and may Kaka leave me."
As he spoke, he held up three fingers of his other hand and swore an oath to his ear.
This oath is a severe punishment for Chu Zhou, worse than taking his life.
Yunze nodded, indicating that he believed what he said.
Then, after looking at the corpses scattered all over the ground, he agreed to Chu Zhou's proposal.
After Yunze agreed, Chuzhou took out two special masks, put one on himself, and gave the other to Yunze, indicating that he should put it on.
Then he opened the test tube, and with a slight movement of his fingers, a gentle breeze arose, spilling all the liquid in the test tube onto the tree spirit's trunk.
A short while later, the tree spirit, which had been dozing, suddenly trembled, and the entire tree visibly drooped a little.
Has it completely fallen into a deep sleep?
Yunze grabbed Chuzhou's arm, took a step, and appeared near the thick tree trunk.
As expected, Chu Zhou's "soul-snatching" technique was effective. He used his magic, but the tree demon king didn't feel anything. It seems that the tree spirit has truly fallen into a deep sleep.
"Yu Zhao, where is that thing?"
"Over there."
Yunze looked around, then tossed out several array plates and set up an array to ensure that the commotion he was about to cause would not be known to the outside world.
Seeing that the formation was working, Yunze boldly approached the tree demon and used his divine sense to observe the surroundings.
Then, when the camera scanned a certain direction, it froze. It walked over to take a look, and then closed its eyes.
Seeing this, Chu Zhou also took a few steps and looked in that direction.
There was a creature with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a tree, fast asleep on a huge tree root.
The air around it was thick with the smell of alcohol.
Not far from it, there were two people who had just been tortured to death by it, and the tree branch that its right arm had conjured was still stuck in their hearts.
It was a man and a woman, and the blood on their clothes hadn't dried yet.
Moreover, the woman's abdomen was cut open, and the already formed fetus was pulled out by tree branches.
"This is a monster, a tree spirit, isn't it? What a beast, a demon!"
Chu Zhou pointed at the tree demon on the ground, his usually calm face now contorted with rage.
"Yes, this is also a tree spirit. To be precise, this tree is its main body, and this is its avatar. It usually uses this avatar to walk around. Look at its lower body, it's exactly the same as the tree roots on the ground. It has a tree leg, which has been integrated with the tree roots beneath it."
Yunze had considerable insight into this matter and immediately understood the whole story.
Although the horrific scene angered him, he was not blinded by rage and carefully observed everything that needed to be observed.
At this point, Chu Zhou calmed down and, after thinking it over, concluded: "This avatar went out, got drunk, returned to the main body, killed two people, and then lay down here to sleep. After that, we arrived, and then we used a sleeping potion to seduce the avatar, knocking not only the main body down but also the avatar."
"That's about it. Okay, enough talk. Stand back and protect yourself, I'm about to make my move."
After Yunze finished speaking, he slashed at the tree demon's true form with his sword.
He originally didn't want to cause any trouble and just wanted to leave quietly to find Qianqian, but now he has changed his mind.
Evil demons don't deserve to live in this world; he's going to kill demons and steal their treasures!
In any case, the piles of white bones under the tree show that the tree demon king committed heinous crimes, so doing this can be considered as acting on behalf of Heaven.
Yunze's all-out attack sliced the hundred-meter-tall demon tree in two.
At the broken end of the tree trunk, a hollowed-out hole, about one cubic meter in size, was exposed. There was only one thing there: a willow branch about seventy or eighty centimeters long.
It should be a willow branch, right?
It looks similar, but the material is different. It has a metallic sheen and is hollow in the middle, making it look like a steel water pipe.
Yunze reached out to take it, but Yuzhao was faster.
With a "whoosh," a flash of light appeared, and the willow branch disappeared.
Turning my head, I saw that it was indeed Yu Zhao.
It was seen hugging a willow branch and stuffing it into the mirror.
"Yu Zhao!"
