It didn't matter that she supported it, but Tu Nian was surprised to find that the touch of the golden tree was not as hard as she had imagined.
The surface of the tree seemed to be rhythmic and breathing as if it had life, and following this rhythm, in just a moment, her palm sank into it.
"Brother Jian, look, this tree looks like it can eat people."
Tu Nian found it extremely interesting and proudly shared her discovery with Bo Qiu, but she didn't know that the latter was completely confused when he saw this scene.
"No, take your hands off!"
Bo Qiu's emotions have always been stable, and he rarely sounds so nervous. Tu Nian was inevitably stunned after hearing this.
After just a short delay, her hand stuck in the tree trunk began to feel a tingling sensation, as if something had pierced her skin and grown together with her flesh.
Tu Nian subconsciously wanted to take her hand away, but was horrified to find that her hand seemed to be completely trapped on the tree trunk.
“No way…”
After several unsuccessful attempts, Tu Nian couldn't help but panic. Bo Qiu made a quick decision, "Use all your strength!"
"I can't seem to pull it out—"
Tu Nian listened to him and used all his spiritual power to push his feet against the tree trunk, even using all his strength. However, not only did his hands not move at all, but even his feet were tightly stuck to the tree trunk.
"Feet, feet!"
Tu Nian felt that the suction force was quickly moving from the soles of his feet to the insteps, and he was so anxious that his tongue was tied.
Bo Qiu shouted, "Take off your shoes!"
Tu Nian didn't dare to delay any longer this time. She pulled off her shoelaces and socks with a single effort. Before she could even put her foot down, the shoe had disappeared into the tree trunk.
The tree really intended to "eat" her.
Tu Nian realized this and looked back at the half of his arm that was stuck in the hole. His legs suddenly went weak and he shouted to Bo Qiu in a trembling voice: "Don't just stand there, help me!"
She had barely escaped the snake demon and dodged Su Youzhi. If she was punished by the tree in the end, she would definitely die with regrets.
It can be seen that this golden tree is obviously interested in Tu Nian's bloodline. If Bo Qiu wants to save people, he must use the power of the origin.
The original power that he had painstakingly accumulated over the past hundred years had already been used once when he first met her. If he used it again this time, he would have to start all over again over the past hundred years.
Bo Qiu felt extremely conflicted.
But when he heard Tu Nian's crying voice and saw her arm being gradually swallowed by the golden tree, he no longer cared about anything else and flew straight out from her waist.
Landing in front of the golden tree, the intricate patterns on the sword suddenly lit up, and the entire sword body changed from black to bright red. The translucent sword body emitted a bright red light, just like the one Tu Nian used on the cliff, but the light was a hundred times brighter.
A pure flame immediately burst out from the sword and swept towards the golden tree.
Although the golden tree is called a tree, its structure is actually made of extremely hard metal except for the roots and some branches which are made of wood.
Among the five elements, fire is the most powerful against metal. Therefore, as soon as Bo Qiu's original fire approached the golden tree, the temperature, which was almost enough to refine gold and stone, burned its branches and leaves, and the trunk that trapped Tu Nian also relaxed a lot in an instant.
Tu Nian was overjoyed when he discovered this and quickly pulled his arm out.
At the beginning, the golden tree was restrained by Bo Qiu, so Tu Nian's movements were relatively smooth. However, when she was halfway through pulling it out, the golden tree seemed to sense her departure and suddenly became crazy.
Its branches and leaves swung violently, temporarily dispelling the flames around it, and then released an even stronger suction force, instantly pulling half of Tu Nian's body into the trunk.
Tu Nian was pulled so hard that he couldn't help but cry out in pain.
Bo Qiu was furious, and the flames on his sword almost instantly enveloped the branches and leaves. However, the golden tree ignored him and was determined to devour Tu Nian despite the burning.
Although Bo Qiu still had some strength left, he was afraid that a desperate move would hurt Tu Nian, so he did not dare to act rashly.
"Hold on! Don't sleep!"
Seeing Tu Nian almost fainting due to excessive blood loss, Bo Qiu was almost going crazy.
If he was in his prime, this small golden tree would be able to survive in a short time, but unfortunately, he had not recovered even 10% of his cultivation.
This ten-thousand-year-old golden tree in front of him was like an insurmountable mountain. No matter how unwilling he was, he could only drag out time and watch with his own eyes as Tu Nian's body was devoured by the golden tree bit by bit.
In just a few breaths, most of Tu Nian's body had sunk into the tree trunk, with only a pair of shoulders supporting his head exposed.
The part of his body inside the tree was gradually pierced by the veins in the trunk. Tu Nian could even clearly feel the feeling of his blood being slowly eaten away.
Perhaps it was due to excessive blood loss, or perhaps the heart was under pressure and unable to beat. Tu Nian looked at the fire and his thoughts began to drift.
The fire burning in the air was entangled with the branches and leaves of the golden tree, just like dusk entangled with the setting sun, close yet distant.
Suddenly, she heard someone calling her.
Immediately afterwards, the red and gold in the sky gradually faded, replaced by a clear blue.
"Tu Nian, don't sleep. Wake up!"
The voice ringing in my ears was too calm compared to the current situation.
Before she could think about the origin of the sound, a cool feeling suddenly echoed between her mouth and nose, bringing her back to her senses.
Looking at the strange yet familiar face in front of her, she called out dully, "...Big Brother?"
This sound reminded Jin Nanfeng to breathe.
He nodded heavily, "It's me."
In order to find her, Jin Nanfeng flew almost all over the secret realm.
