After a moment of silence, he said, "Do you know how to control the blood puppet?"
The female elder was stunned at first, then quickly nodded and said, "I can, I can control the blood puppet!"
Seeing this, Lu Jingzhi nodded slightly, "Very good, then from now on, you have to teach me the method of controlling the blood puppet in detail."
"If your teachings satisfy me, perhaps I will consider sparing your life."
Hearing this, the female elder felt like she had grabbed a life-saving straw, and a fire of hope suddenly ignited in her heart.
She quickly stood up, and the fear and sadness on her face were instantly replaced by joy and respect.
Then she quickly walked to a big tree and pointed at the human tree in front of her, "Master Lu, you only need to use a knife to cut a hole in the trunk of this tree, and a tree heart will appear inside."
"That tree heart is the dragon blood tree heart you are looking for."
Lu Jingzhi stared at the human tree in front of him and asked thoughtfully, "Since it's called Dragon Blood Tree Heart, could the blood inside really be dragon blood?"
The female elder slowly shook her head. "This is just a gimmick to attract people's attention. In fact, what flows in here is tree blood."
"I see……"
Lu Jingzhi suddenly realized, then reached into the storage ring and took out a brand new and sharp fifth-level long sword.
Lu Jingzhi gripped the long knife tightly, looking firmly at the strange face not far away.
"I'm sorry, maybe this is a relief for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a flash of his body, and the long knife in his hand cut through the air and chopped straight towards the thick tree trunk.
In an instant, there was a crisp "crack" sound, and a long and narrow crack suddenly appeared on the tree trunk.
Then, a sharp wail echoed throughout the tree.
Along with the wailing, bright red liquid gushed out from the crack and quickly spread.
At the same time, the eyes that were originally closed on the human tree suddenly opened, and a faint soul slowly floated out from the trunk.
The face of the spirit was blurry, but one could vaguely see a smile of relief on it.
After staying in the air for a while, it gradually dissipated into nothingness and disappeared completely without a trace.
Seeing this, Lu Jingzhi stepped forward without hesitation.
The strong and pungent smell of blood hit him in the face, making him frown.
But he did not retreat. Instead, he inserted his hands into the cracks in the tree trunk and pulled it out with all his strength.
As he continued to increase his strength, the trunk was finally stretched wider, revealing the scenery hidden inside.
When Lu Jingzhi opened his eyes, he saw a heart beating slightly and tightly wrapped in a thick layer of bark!
"Could this be the heart of the dragon blood tree?"
Lu Jingzhi widened his eyes, staring at the mysterious heart and muttering to himself.
He carefully stretched out his right hand and slowly approached the beating heart of the tree.
The moment his palm touched the heart of the tree, a cool feeling spread along his arm and throughout his body.
He didn't dare to delay for even a moment. Lu Jingzhi retracted his right hand and took out an exquisite jade box from the ring.
Then, he mobilized the power of ice elements in his body, gathered it at his fingertips, and with a light tap, the bone-chilling cold air instantly spread out.
In the blink of an eye, the palm-sized tree core was completely frozen into a solid block of ice.
Finally, Lu Jingzhi placed the frozen tree heart into the jade box, then closed the lid and carefully put it into the ring.
After finishing all this, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Finally, I've got the dragon blood tree heart. Now I only need one last thing..."
"son."
A soft call was heard. After hearing the voice, Lu Jingzhi turned around and looked with a smile on his face.
"Mom, don't worry, I've successfully obtained the dragon blood tree heart."
Mu Jin nodded, but her gaze did not stay on Lu Jingzhi for too long. Instead, she began to look around.
When she saw the trees around her, she couldn't help but gasp and a chill went through her heart.
I saw that these trees were extremely tall, with lush branches and leaves, but they exuded a gloomy and strange atmosphere.
"Son, look! How come there's a human face on this tree, and it's bleeding?"
