Whether it was the nutrients in the soil or those from the Golden Ancient Tree's roots, all of it was being sucked away by these blue roots.
The deeper underground he went, the more vivid the roots became—an eye-searing blue, a dazzling gold. Even Huo Yuhao's vision trembled.
"Thump, thump, thump."
Deep beneath the Golden Ancient Tree, Huo Yuhao seemed to hear a sound like a great bell and heavy chime.
The wildly growing blue roots had completely blocked off the depths underground, wrapping up every Golden Ancient Tree root that tried to break free.
As far as the eye could see, roots crowded tightly together and twisted around one another, like enormous serpents with blue skin and golden patterns mating.
No matter where he looked—above, below, or all around—roots of every conceivable shape and size covered everything.
At the very center of these roots was an unimaginably massive, heart-like structure formed from several colossal roots, wrapped layer upon layer in countless root fibers.
"Thump!" "Thump!" "Thump!"
The sound of that "heart" beating was like a Kui Bull Drum struck by an emperor. Before its vigorous pulse, every other sound seemed feeble.
Thick roots constricted while finer ones pumped. Before him, the mountain-sized imitation heart contracted and expanded powerfully again and again.
The aorta and the upper and lower venae cavae of that mountain-like heart were actually formed from those thick, dark-blue roots bearing golden patterns.
This was precisely what troubled Huo Yuhao. The Golden Ancient Tree's roots had already been completely bound by the enemy, unable to break free in the slightest.
If he were to make a move here, Huo Yuhao would have to descend several hundred meters underground while remaining constantly on guard against these terrifying roots.
Even the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord's eyeball was only around
