"Peeping?" Xu Yunhe's expression changed slightly.
"Where is it, is it Demon Beast or..."
Song Changsheng shook his head and said solemnly, "That feeling only lasted a moment, and when I looked for its traces, it disappeared again. Brother Xu, Yuechan, you must be more vigilant. I am afraid there is some unknown danger hidden here."
"Don't worry."
Although they didn't notice anything, no one would doubt Song Changsheng's judgment. After all, monks' intuition is often the most accurate.
Several people took out the defense Law Artifact to protect themselves and raised their vigilance to the highest level, not letting go of the slightest sign of trouble.
And just in the corner outside the range of the few Divine Sense, a vine as thick as an arm slowly raised its head from the bushes, staring at their departing backs...
"Brother Song, look at this."
Suddenly, Xu Yunhe, who was walking at the front of the team, greeted loudly.
"What's wrong, Brother Xu?"
Song Changsheng rushed over to take a look and found that it was the body of Unicorn Horse.
Unicorn Horse is a very common low-level Demon Beast, which can grow up to the second level. Judging from the size of the one in front of you, it is just a newly adult First-Tier Unicorn Horse.
"It looks like it has been dead for a while. The only wound is the big hole through the abdomen, but the cause of its death is probably that the blood in the body was drained by something."
Song Changsheng used a branch to pull the corpse that looked like a dry Corpse One, and frowned slightly.
Unicorn Horse belongs to the group Demon Beast and reproduces very quickly. If there is a group of Unicorn Horse in this valley, it is absolutely impossible for it to be so quiet.
And Skyfall Valley is so deep, First-Tier Demon Beast will definitely be smashed into pulp if it falls, so it can directly rule out the situation of accidental entry from the outside.
"There is a ghost here."
Thinking of the feeling of being spied on before, Song Changsheng suddenly became a little irritable. This feeling of being in the open and the enemy in the dark is really terrible, just like a poisonous snake dormant in the corner, who doesn't know when it will come out and bite you.
"Changsheng, look here, there seems to be drag marks." Zhuang Yuechan suddenly pointed at the dirt in front of him.
The two of them went over to take a look and found that there were some subtle traces spreading into the distance.
"Hmph, let's go over and see what's going on."
Several people followed the traces on the ground and finally came to a towering tree.
Perhaps due to the lack of sunlight, although the vegetation here is dense, it is mostly low shrubs and lichens.
But this tree is dozens of feet tall, with a round crown that covers the sky and the earth. The trunk is as thick as a dozen people hugging each other, and the branches are covered with red fruits the size of sandbags.
"This tree is weird, be careful." Song Changsheng looked at the red fruits and felt a very uncomfortable feeling in his heart.
He flicked out a wisp of Sword Qi with his finger and chopped off a fruit. The fruit fell to the ground and broke into pieces in an instant. Bloody juice splashed everywhere. Everywhere it touched, whether it was vegetation or stones, was corroded and emitted pungent white smoke.
"It's Unicorn Horse." Xu Yunhe said in shock.
Song Changsheng took a closer look and found a skeleton on the ground that had not been completely corroded.
Just as the three people's eyes were attracted, countless vines suddenly sprang out from the tree crown and enveloped them.
"No, it's Tree Demon, go back!"
Song Changsheng's expression changed drastically, and he swept [Heaven Measuring Ruler] in his hand, instantly tearing a big hole in the big net woven by Tree Demon, and rushed out with the two of them.
But as soon as he escaped, more vines came from all directions.
"Brother Xu!"
"Coming!"
Xu Yunhe responded, and the long sword in his hand burst into sword light, shattering all the vines within a hundred feet.
Song Changsheng took this opportunity to open Spirit Severing Gourd and released [Earth Core Cold Flame].
To deal with enemies like Tree Demon, Spirit Fire is their nemesis.
But what caught Song Changsheng off guard was that a blood-colored barrier appeared around Tree Demon, firmly blocking Spirit Fire from the outside and unable to damage it in the slightest.
"It's such a strong Demon Qi. I'm afraid this Tree Demon is almost reaching Third-Tier. Yuechan, Divine Soul that disturbs it." Song Changsheng dodged the attack of vines and shouted.
"Boom..."
Zhuang Yuechan, who had left the battlefield at this moment, heard the words and immediately placed Jade Zither in front of him, quickly plucked the strings with his fingers, and played "Soul-Confusing Melody".
The sound of the piano is pervasive and acts on Divine Soul, making people feel drowsy just by hearing it.
Tree Demon Divine Soul was generally weak, so Zhuang Yuechan's offensive was effective quickly. After a while, the frequency and intensity of Tree Demon's attacks began to decrease.
Song Changsheng felt happy when he saw this, and immediately offered the gourd.
"Please Gourd Soul Slash!"
Formless Blade swept through the space, rushed directly to Sea of Consciousness of Tree Demon, and chopped on its Divine Soul.
Tree Demon suddenly began to tremble violently, all the vines retreated like a tide, and even the bloody barrier became dim.
Song Changsheng was overjoyed and said quickly, "It Divine Soul was injured by me and won't last long. Let's work together to kill it!"
At this moment, a hazy human face suddenly appeared on the thick trunk of Tree Demon. It glared at Song Changsheng and other Human Dao: "Outsiders, you have successfully aroused my anger."
The sound was like two pieces of dry tree bark rubbing against each other, which was very uncomfortable to hear.
"Is it you who is spying on us in the dark?" Song Changsheng shouted.
"So what if it's me, you broke into my territory first."
"There is no point arguing about this at this moment. Since you said Skyfall Valley is your territory, do you know that a piece of flesh and blood fell off some time ago." Zhuang Yuechan stopped the argument between the two parties.
The face on the tree trunk changed slightly when he heard this, and then said, "So what if you know."
"It's not easy to grow Demon Cultivator, and we have no intention of being your enemy. As long as you give me the scales on that piece of flesh and blood, we will retreat immediately and never come back."
It is far more difficult for plants to cultivate spiritual intelligence than Demon Beast. Every one of them can be said to be the darling of heaven, and there are very few who have reached the level of Tree Demon in front of him. Song Changsheng does not want to commit more crimes if it is not necessary.
Unexpectedly, Tree Demon became furious when he heard this and said, "That's my treasure, why should I give it to you?"
"Whatever you want, I can exchange it with you." Song Changsheng frowned slightly. It would be best if it could be solved peacefully. After all, this tree Demon Cultivator is not weak. It has been cultivated for a long time and it has hidden many trump cards. It is not easy to win it.
Hearing this, Tree Demon fell into silence.
After a long time, he spoke again, "I want to go one step further."
"Impossible." Song Changsheng couldn't help rolling his eyes. The cultivation level of Tree Demon was only one step away from Third-Tier, but it was very difficult to cross this step. Think about Song Xianming and Chang Wudao, and then look at Yin Shang and Niu Dazhuang.
Which one is not the best resource, and which one is not just one step away?
As a result, I haven't crossed over in all these years.
People are like this, let alone Tree Demon, who is more difficult to practice?
This was an impossible deal.
"Then there's no need to talk." Tree Demon shouted angrily.
At this moment, Zhuang Yuechan took out a Talismans and said, "It's impossible to help you break through, but I have a Third-Tier defense Talismans that can block a Heavenly Thunder for you. How about I exchange this with you?"
Dryads are different from human monks. Human monks will only experience thunder tribulations when they break through the golden elixir stage, but tree demons must experience the baptism of thunder tribulations every time they break through the great realm.
This is also the reason why it is difficult for people of the grass, tree, spirit and monster attributes to practice.
Being able to block a Tribulation Lightning defense Talismans is already worth a lot of money.
Tree Demon's expression changed, and he finally said, "Okay."
After saying that, he stretched out a vine in front of Zhuang Yuechan and asked for Talismans.
"You take out the scales first, and we will exchange them face to face." Zhuang Yuechan frowned slightly, this guy actually wanted to use his gloves White Wolf.
Hearing this, Tree Demon's face suddenly became a little embarrassed and said, "The scales are useless to me, so they are not in my hands."
Song Changsheng and others' faces instantly turned ugly. Isn't this a joke?
Seeing that they were about to explode, Tree Demon quickly said, "Although it is not in my hands, I know where the scales are. You can go get them yourself."
Song Changsheng had a look of suspicion on his face, this guy couldn't be cheating, could he?
Seeing Song Changsheng's face, Tree Demon said quickly, "If you don't believe it, you can go get the scales first. I can't run away here anyway."
"Changsheng, what it says makes sense. We will find out if it is true or false." Zhuang Yuechan said secretly.
"Okay, please point out the address. If we find the scales, I promise you Talismans will definitely give it to you with both hands. If not, even if we try our best, we will not make it easier for you." Song Changsheng threatened in a cold voice.
"Don't worry, it's in a cave ten miles away from Southwest." Tree Demon stretched out a vine and pointed in one direction and said confidently.
"Let's go."
Song Changsheng and the others slowly exited the attack range of Tree Demon, and then moved their swords in the direction of Southwest.
In less than a quarter of an hour, they found a hidden cave. There were overgrown weeds in front of the cave entrance, but there were obvious signs of being crushed by heavy objects.
"Brother Song, I feel a strong Demon Qi, do we really want to go in?" Xu Yunhe looked at the dark entrance of the cave and hesitated.
After all, they had just played with that Tree Demon, and the credibility of the other party's words was very questionable.
"That Flood Dragon Scale contains a trace of Dragon Might, which has no effect on vegetation and monsters. Then Tree Demon should not lie. Of course, its purpose is definitely not simple.
Look at the weeds at the entrance of the cave, they look very much like the traces left by snakes and pythons. If the prediction is correct, there is probably a Demon Beast here. The other party should be trying to borrow a knife to kill someone. "Song Changsheng's eyes burst out with a hint of coldness.
"Then let's fight back?" Xu Yunhe frowned slightly.
"No, I am even more convinced that Flood Dragon Scale is here. This thing is useless against vegetation and monsters, but it is a rare treasure for snakes and pythons.
The flesh and blood of Black Dragon Demon King is also the most attractive to them. After devouring it, it may even make them go further. It is impossible for them to resist such temptation.
If the scales were in Tree Demon's hands, it would be impossible for the two sides to live in peace. "Song Changsheng analyzed rationally.
"It is possible that he is not the opponent of Tree Demon. After all, Tree Demon is only one step away from Third-Tier."
Hearing this Song Changsheng smiled and said, "If that were the case, then Tree Demon wouldn't lend us our hands to get rid of it.
The reason why there are so few living creatures here is all because of Tree Demon, which is trained to digest animal flesh and blood, and all the living creatures in Skyfall Valley have been turned into its nutrients.
If it was stronger than Demon Beast in this cave, it would have turned it into its own nourishment long ago. How could it wait until now? Even though its body cannot move, in fact its root system may have covered the entire valley.
It's only ten miles away, so it won't have any impact on its combat power. "
"Whether it is yes or no, you will know if you try it? "Zhuang Yuechan blinked his eyes and said.
"How to try? We have been here for a while, and there is no movement at all. There is no way we can go in."
The situation inside the cave is unknown, so entering hastily is probably not a good idea.
"Doesn't the opponent's lack of movement mean that it is not strong? If it were Third-Tier Demon Beast, I'm afraid it would have been unable to hold on any longer. Don't worry, I have a solution Luring the Snake Out of Its Hole."
After that, Zhuang Yuechan placed Jade Zither horizontally in front of him, plucked the strings and began to play a song with a strange melody. The sound made people feel goosebumps all over their body.
The lingering music of the piano entered the cave and fell into the ears of a giant creature. It had originally made up its mind to shrink to the bottom, but suddenly it felt unusually irritable.
It wanted to isolate these piano sounds, but no matter what it did, it couldn't do it.
He became more and more irritable, and gradually a thought arose that he wanted to tear the person playing the piano into pieces. As soon as this thought emerged, it was difficult to contain it, and it grew like a weed.
At a certain moment, it couldn't bear it any longer, neighed, and rushed out dragging its huge body.
Outside the cave entrance, Song Changsheng, who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Here we come!"
"Boom——"
As soon as the words fell, a ferocious and huge snake head suddenly sprang out. The scarlet snake hesitated and rushed towards Zhuang Yuechan to bite him.
Song Changsheng quickly used [Lu Wu Bell] and hit it firmly on the head, making stars appear in its eyes.
Then Song Changsheng held Zhuang Yuechan's hand and moved back.
The big snake had already been disturbed by the music and lost its mind. It quickly twisted its huge body and chased after him.
Seeing the big snake leaving the Mountain Opening hole, Xu Yunhe, who was hiding in the dark, immediately appeared and blocked the big snake's retreat. At this time, the two Song Changsheng also stopped retreating, and the three of them formed a "pin" shape and surrounded the big snake.
At this time, Song Changsheng had the opportunity to observe the other party carefully, and saw that the big snake was covered with hard black scales, with an obvious bulge on the top of its head, and a pair of vertical pupils flashing with a soul-stirring cold light.
And at its heart, it is covered with several scales of obviously different colors and sizes, exuding a rich Demon Qi, which is exactly the Flood Dragon Scale that Song Changsheng is looking for.
"Brother Xu, Yuechan be careful, it has swallowed Black Dragon Demon King's flesh and blood and is about to turn into a dragon!"
