"Your Highness... hurry up and get wild! The wilder you are, the more excited I get..."
Lan Fenghuang couldn't resist sticking closer. If Li Zhu hadn't been holding Xiaolongnu, he probably would have thrown himself into Li Zhu's arms...
Li Zhu's Great Xia Dragon Sparrow swept across, forcing Lan Fenghuang to stop two steps away. At this distance, they could feel each other's breath, but it also prevented them from getting any closer...
The countless vines didn't give the two much time to talk. Li Zhu, while fending off the vines, spoke to Lan Fenghuang.
"This can't go on. These vines are endless. If we keep fighting like this, we'll eventually run out of energy. We have to find a way to escape..."
"Then what do you suggest we do?"
Lan Fenghuang looked at Li Zhu and asked. In this uncertain situation, even someone as powerful as Lan Fenghuang became somewhat indecisive...
"Go down... there might be a glimmer of hope down there..."
Li Zhu looked at the crack and said seriously!
"Are you crazy? The vines are the roots of that tree. We're already struggling to hold them off from this distance. If we get closer to the tree, won't we just die even faster?"
"Haven't you heard that the most dangerous places are often the safest? If you're not going, you can stay here. I'm taking Little Dragon Girl down with me..."
After finishing his sentence, Li Zhu jumped down from the crevice in front of him without hesitation, heading straight for the tree canopy below...
Seeing Li Zhu's resolute stance, leaving him no room for maneuver, Lan Fenghuang had no choice but to jump down with him...
The whistling wind swept past their ears as the two dodged and weaved, avoiding all the vines...
Perhaps sensing their thoughts, countless vines shot towards them at lightning speed, forming a barrier in front of them...
"Li Zhu, we can't make it through..."
Blue Phoenix shouted loudly from behind!
"The stronger these vines resist, the more it proves we're doing the right thing, because our actions threaten his safety, which is why he's so frantically trying to stop us from advancing..."
Li Zhu shouted back without turning his head, showing no intention of stopping. The Great Xia Dragon Sparrow in his hand emitted a dazzling light, and just as it was about to crash into the barrier formed by vines, Li Zhu used all the power in his body to slash forward...
boom!
With a deafening roar, Li Zhu cleaved a hole in the barrier in front of him, just big enough for one person to pass through…
Without any hesitation, Li Zhu rushed into the passage that had been carved out, with Lan Fenghuang following closely behind. As they passed through, the passage, controlled by the large tree, continued to shrink...
Just as the passage was about to close in, Li Zhu rushed out, and Lan Fenghuang also narrowly escaped. Before they could even catch their breath, the passage behind them vanished...
But the two were not attacked again; after breaking through the barrier, it was as if all the vines had disappeared…
The two had now reached the edge of the tree canopy, and only then did they realize that this was not a tree canopy at all, but a giant carnivorous arum lily. The enormous flower was as big as a volcano, and the branches they had seen were merely thorns protruding from the flower…
As for the leaves, their height was like that of buildings, obscuring the view downwards. It was the leaves and thorns that made Li Zhu mistakenly believe there was a giant tree underground...
How long would it take for such a giant carnivorous arum lily to live? A hundred years? Or a thousand years?
This made Li Zhu suspect that Loulan's disappearance might have been caused by this flower, since Loulan was just an isolated country in the desert, and even if it had been completely devoured by the man-eating flower, no one would have known...
The man-eating devil's tongue was shimmering with an alluring light, but it also made Li Zhu feel an extreme danger. The Jizhou Cauldron between his brows became even more active, and the feeling of being called was clearer than ever before...
Whatever it is, it must be hidden inside this flower…
"What is your purpose in coming to Loulan?"
Li Zhu looked at Lan Fenghuang and asked, under these circumstances, he wanted to have an open and honest conversation with her in order to obtain more information…
"This is a secret of my Miao region, I can't tell you..."
Blue Phoenix replied coldly…
"You can choose not to tell us, then we might as well wait to die. Behind us are the roots of the man-eating arum twig, blocking our way. There's no going back. Ahead are the flowers of the man-eating arum twig; going in is like walking into a trap. Staying here is also a dead end. Tell me everything, and we'll think of a way together. Maybe there's still a glimmer of hope..."
Li Zhu explained the pros and cons of the matter to Lan Fenghuang, letting her choose whether or not to reveal the secret she knew…
Lan Fenghuang's eyes kept shifting, unsure whether she should tell Li Zhu the secret...
Just then, the voice of the Demon God rang in her mind, which made Lan Fenghuang somewhat incredulous at the Demon God's decision. However, she still followed the Demon God's instructions and looked at Li Zhu, speaking softly.
"I can tell you everything I know, but I want all the treasures inside. If you agree, I'll not only tell you everything I know, but also return Wang Riqing to you. Otherwise, I'd rather die here..."
Li Zhu clicked his tongue, thinking to himself that this little vixen was really greedy. According to her, he was just here to work? And without pay...
"Blue Phoenix, don't you think your suggestion is a bit excessive?"
Li Zhu looked directly into Lan Fenghuang's eyes and asked a question, which made Lan Fenghuang feel a little guilty. However, that was what the Demon God had ordered, and she was just doing what the Demon God instructed...
"You can choose not to agree..."
Blue Phoenix replied calmly, seemingly indifferent to her own life or death...
Li Zhu was so angry he almost fainted. Was this even human? They were all in the same boat; he wanted to hog everything, but instead acted like he was doing him a favor…
However, because he was worried about Wang Riqing's safety, his Achilles' heel was completely under their control...
"Alright, take whatever you want, but if you can't take it yourself, don't blame me..."
Li Zhu had no choice but to reluctantly agree to the other party's conditions, but he left a loophole in his words...
After receiving Li Zhu's promise, Lan Fenghuang finally spoke.
"I hope you will keep your promise..."
Then Lan Fenghuang looked at Li Zhu and asked in return.
You know Zhang Liang, right?
Hearing Lan Fenghuang's words, Li Zhu felt insulted. Every Chinese person knows that she was the strategist who helped Liu Bang establish the Han Dynasty, a woman of outstanding merit…
"Know…"
Li Zhu said irritably!
"Do you know how he died in the end, and where he died?"
Blue Phoenix continued to ask!
