Liu Cang's Misfortune
After Mo Tang and his group realized something was wrong, they immediately withdrew.
Clearly, the area around this Bodhi Ancient Tree is fraught with danger, and Mo Tang has no intention of becoming someone else's cannon fodder.
In a short while, the Gu Clan arrived first... followed by the Soul Clan, the Yan Clan, and other ancient races, and then the ancient sects like Blazing Flame Valley, which had the protection of Dou Sheng Expert.
However, after they had passed through the Beast Tide, they were not overwhelmed by the sight of the Bodhi Ancient Tree so close at hand.
Since so many people have chosen to wait here instead of directly entering the ancient tree, there must be dangers they are unaware of.
With a gentle smile, Hun Yu looked at Mo Tang and the others and asked, "Mr. Mo, why have you stopped here? Is there some danger in this Bodhi Ancient Tree? If so, please tell us, and I think everyone here will be grateful to you."
Hun Yu's words immediately drew everyone's attention to Mo Tang and his group.
Because everyone knew that they were the first to break through the Beast Tide and arrive here...
Mo Tang paid no attention to such a petty trick, simply saying, "I am unaware of any danger, as this is my first time seeing this Bodhi Ancient Tree, and I know no more than anyone else here..."
"As for why we stopped here..." Mo Tang looked at the other party and smiled, "Since everyone's goal is the Bodhi Ancient Tree, then I will naturally wait for everyone to come together."
Mo Tang's words left everyone speechless.
Do you think we're all idiots? That we'd believe such nonsense?
Hun Yu showed no reaction to Mo Tang's words, and a slight smile remained on her face.
Pointing to the Bodhi Ancient Tree ahead, he said, "Hehe, since Mr. Mo is unwilling to talk about it, then I will share some things I know with everyone."
Although we broke through the Beast Tide, the most difficult thing to deal with is still this Bodhi Ancient Tree ..."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing his words, everyone's hearts stirred, and their gazes lingered on Hun Yu's face.
"It was recorded in an ancient book of our Soul Clan..."
One of my ancestors also encountered the Bodhi Ancient Tree. However, he subsequently disappeared without a trace...
By the time our clan's strongest warriors received the message and went to their rescue, he and the Bodhi Ancient Tree had already completely vanished...
Hun Yu smiled and said, "Although I don't know exactly what happened to that ancestor, I'm certain he has most likely perished. And, probably, he fell at the hands of the Bodhi Ancient Tree..."
Seeing the increasingly serious expressions on everyone's faces, he feigned sudden realization and said, "Oh, right. I forgot to mention, this ancestor of my Soul Clan was also at the Half-Saint level back then..."
"Half-Saint?"
Everyone present had a slight change in expression.
Even Half-Saint level expert could be inexplicably disappeared by this Bodhi Ancient Tree. It seems that the level of danger this time needs to be reassessed!
Although there were many Dou Sheng Expert present, most forces did not have such a level of powerhouse, and some did not even have a peak Dou Zun, so they felt even more apprehensive.
Just like the Heaven Nether Sect.
In the Central Plains, this is considered a first-rate power. This time, the deputy Sect Master, who is at the peak of the Dou Zun, led the team, and it was originally thought that they would definitely gain something.
However, after passing through the previous few levels, not only have we suffered heavy losses in manpower, but we are now also likely to return empty-handed, which is hard to accept.
However, no matter what, since they had come here, they couldn't stop. In the end, they each led their own small groups and slowly began to move towards the Bodhi Ancient Tree.
Just as they slowly approached the massive tree trunk, a glint of light suddenly appeared in Mo Tang's eyes...
"That is... Bodhi Heart!"
About a hundred feet away from the tree trunk, there was a bright radiance. This radiance was like a huge energy heart, about ten feet in size, and it faintly emitted a powerful pulsating sound.
It was clear that Mo Tang was not the only one who discovered the Bodhi Heart. At the same time that Mo Tang was moved, countless figures rushed towards the direction of the ball of light.
"Hahaha, this Bodhi Heart is mine now!"
As a peak Dou Zun, Liu Cang's strength was among the top in the group, except for Mo Tang and the other Gu Clan, so he rushed to the front.
Originally, Tang Zhen, the Valley Master of Blazing Flame Valley, also intended to rush out, but he was stopped by his ancestor behind him.
"Ancestor, what does this mean...?" Tang Zhen asked anxiously, puzzled.
Old Ancestor Huoyun did not answer at all, but simply gestured for him to look at Mo Tang, Hun Yu, Gu Xun'er and the others in the distance.
After being reminded by his ancestor, Tang Zhen suddenly realized that none of the major Gu Clan, the Sky Demon Phoenix represented by Mo Tang, the Nine Netherworld Nether Python, and others had made any moves.
This situation shocked him, and then a great fear rose from the bottom of his heart.
What happened next truly proved how correct their ancestor's choice was...
The Bodhi Ancient Tree, which stood quietly on this grassland, suddenly emitted a faint rustling sound.
Immediately, the dense branches intertwined and hung down from the shade of the tree, and as these branches touched the ground, they slowly split open...
Five figures, expressionless, slowly stepped out from within.
As these five figures stepped out, the space between heaven and earth rippled violently, and a terrifying pressure suddenly spread out!
"Half-Saint level expert..."
Feeling this oppressive aura, Tang Zhen's expression changed drastically in an instant.
Liu Cang, who was charging at the forefront, had no chance to dodge and was directly punched away by a figure...
Whoosh... Boom!
He was slammed into the ground at an even faster speed than when he had just rushed out, leaving a huge crater hundreds of meters long in his wake.
Fortunately, these people were just a bunch of puppets, completely devoid of intelligence. After knocking Liu Cang away, they did not continue to chase after him, but instead rushed directly into the nearest crowd.
Although those people were not weak and there were dozens of them, more than a dozen of them were instantly blasted into dust by the group of Half-Saint Puppet during the surprise attack.
By the time they came to their senses and prepared to put up a reasonable resistance, half of their men had already been killed or wounded by the puppets.
Mo Tang and the others watched all this indifferently, showing no intention of intervening.
However, when Mo Tang looked at the giant pit where Liu Cang was, he suddenly realized that the unlucky fellow was still alive and was even slowly crawling out of the pit...
A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips, and Mo Tang secretly flicked one of the puppets lightly...
An invisible force penetrated through space and acted on a puppet.
The puppet that was about to kill a Seven-Star Dou Zun was suddenly sent flying, landing right next to Liu Cang, face to face...
And then, that was it.
