Chapter 423 Trap
"This giant tree has become a monster!"
Li Mu and King Nie understood at a glance that this was already a demon tree, and those hanging on the branches of this demon tree were obviously its trophies.
"Junior brother, look at the foot of the demon tree, does it look like an entrance?" King Nie Renwang suddenly lit up and said in surprise.
Li Mu took a closer look at the tree demon's feet and found a vague entrance. There seemed to be a stone door at the entrance, and there seemed to be two large characters engraved on the stone door.
"This monster is actually guarding the entrance to a ruins. No wonder so many people died here. Except for some of these people who were careless, I'm afraid most of them wanted to break into the ruins and be hunted by it!"
Li Mu looked at the corpses swaying like leaves and said.
"Yes, it should be like this. I don't know if this tree is easy to deal with. Junior brother, should we break into this ruins or not?" King Nie Ren said eagerly. This was the first ruins they encountered after entering Jingshui Cave. , how could you not give it a try.
"Since you have encountered something, there is no reason to let it go. Maybe this is a big opportunity. Let's go for it!" Li Mu took a deep breath and punched out from a distance. Anyway, the tree demon seemed unable to move in a wide range. Even if it can't defeat it, it can still retreat, not to mention that this is still the outskirts of Jingshui Cave. Even if this tree demon is strong, it shouldn't be that strong.
"Boom!"
A terrifying loud noise rang out, and the huge fist condensed instantly and blasted directly at the tree demon. At this moment, the tree demon seemed to come to life.
"Swish!" The corpses on the branches opened their eyes one by one in an instant. Even the eyeless skeletons had green flames appearing in their eye sockets. These corpses turned their heads at the same time and looked at Li Mu. past.
"Bang!"
Immediately, things like vines suddenly hung down from the giant tree. The next moment, waves of demonic energy appeared in the sky. These vines instantly whipped towards the huge fist, and a series of continuous whipping sounds were heard. The huge fist was directly blasted by the vines.
"The strength of this tree demon is indeed not weak!" King Nieren had a cold look in his eyes and took action without hesitation. "Beiyin Kuangdao, kill evil and ward off changes!"
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
Eight sharp sword rays were slashed out instantly. King Nie Ren did not approach the huge tree demon at all, but kept swimming around it. The eight sharp blade rays slashed at the tree demon in an instant, and the vines carried the sky-high thorns. The demonic energy was drawn directly towards the sword light. Just as the vine was about to hit the vine, the eight sword lights suddenly merged into one sword light and slashed hard on the huge tree trunk of the tree demon.
"Roar!"
A ferocious ugly face condensed on the huge tree trunk, and it let out a shrill roar. A huge hole opened where the trunk was struck, and streams of stinking, sticky dark red blood were slowly coming out of it. flowed out.
This tree demon can still bleed, but King Nie's face is a bit ugly, because his eight sword rays gathered together, but he failed to cut off the tree demon with one sword. Instead, he only left a slash of no more than three feet on the tree demon's body. How long, the wound was less than half a foot deep, this giant tree was simply amazingly hard.
At this moment, a terrifying mountain-shaped force suddenly exploded, and the giant mountain roared, falling directly towards the tree demon, as if it wanted to destroy and suppress everything.
"True Martial God Fist, one punch can conquer the mountain!"
"call!"
The huge mountain shape gathered a huge amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and the terrifying giant mountain suppressed it directly. The tree demon roared, and the branches on the crown of the tree shot out fiercely, and they actually penetrated deeply into the mountain shape like long steel arrows. On top of it, the mountain shape was riddled with holes.
"burst!"
Li Mu frowned, and directly detonated the Yamagata Qi Jiner. The Yamagata Qi Jiner instantly exploded in the air, directly shattering a small part of the tree crown. The tree demon let out a shrill wail, and the branches were covered with pus and blood, like broken limbs. The arms are scattered.
"Watch your step!"
At this moment, Li Mu suddenly felt that something was wrong under his feet. He immediately raised his body and climbed into the sky, but King Nie Ren's reaction was half a beat slower than him. He had just flown halfway when he was instantly hit by a tree that suddenly appeared from under the ground. The roots entangled his legs. The strength of those tree roots was astonishing. Once they entangled his legs, they immediately dragged him to the ground.
King Nie Ren looked into the distance and saw that with the huge tree demon as the center, dense tree roots grew out within a mile around the tree demon. Those tree roots chased him and Li Mu, and they looked like dense branches. Terrible worms that make your scalp numb.
"Walk!"
King Nie swung his sword to cut off some tree roots, but more roots had already wrapped around him. Just as he was about to be dragged into the ground, a punch struck and smashed all the tree roots under his feet. Then Li Mu stretched out his hand As soon as he grabbed it, he immediately took him to the sky.
"This tree demon is so powerful, it is basically a hunter!" King Nieren said with lingering fear after being rescued by Li Mu.
The longest roots stretched out by the dryads on the ground are even a hundred feet long, and the shortest ones are fifty or sixty feet long. Even a strong person will probably die if he accidentally falls into the trap.
"This tree demon is indeed powerful. Even if it is a strong person of the third level of Grand Master, it will be very dangerous if he is not careful. But now that we know its true face, it is not difficult to kill it!"
Li Mu reached into the storage bag and took out the Ruyi Golden Gourd that had not been used for a long time. Then he opened the gourd's mouth and threw the Ruyi Golden Gourd into the sky.
"call!"
A flame burned instantly, and the golden flame spread, instantly forming a hundred-foot-long fire dragon and burning toward the tree demon.
"boom!"
The hundred-foot-long golden fire dragon was burning fiercely. Before it could reach the tree demon, the tree demon let out a horrified howl. The terrifying huge mouth on the tree trunk opened, and a stream of thick, smelly pus and blood spewed out. An ordinary thing, that thing sprayed directly towards the golden dragon.
"good chance!"
"True Martial Divine Fist, one punch to suppress the river!" Li Mu's eyes lit up. He took advantage of the tree demon's attention to be focused on the Ruyi Golden Gourd, and his body instantly paused to condense.
"boom!"
The power of the fist is like a mountain, and the power of the fist is blessed. The power of Zhenwu Shenquan's punch to Zhenhe explodes instantly. The overwhelming power of the fist pours out directly from his hands, and then gathers the vast amount of heaven and earth spiritual energy in Jingshui Cave, directly forming a mighty wave. The long river of fists swayed directly towards the tree demon.
The dryad belongs to wood. Among the five elements, fire overcomes wood. The fire is burning, and the dryad will instinctively feel fear. Therefore, as soon as the Ruyi Golden Gourd spurts out flames, it immediately attracts the attention of the dryad. While the dryad is burning, Attracted by the flames, Li Mu took the opportunity to gather his strength and struck out with a powerful punch.
"Boom!"
The mighty river of fists surged out, and the tree demon's entire attention was attracted by the blazing golden flames. He didn't even notice Li Mu's concentrated attack. When the river of fists roared out, the tree demon had already tried to resist it. late.
"Roar!"
The tree demon let out a shrill wail, and after sensing something was wrong, he quickly gathered the dense tree roots in front of him, forming a thick barrier in front of the river of boxing.
"boom!"
It's a pity that the hastily gathered tree root barrier couldn't stop the mighty river of boxing. The mighty river of boxing fell on the tree barrier, and the tree root barrier was instantly washed away and destroyed. The river of boxing washed away the tree root barrier, and then fiercely It hit the tree demon's body hard.
"Bang!"
The body of the tree demon suddenly exploded, and the sticky and smelly blood spattered everywhere. The tree demon wailed under the mighty river of fists and collapsed. The flames of the Ruyi Golden Gourd also fell on the remains of the tree demon, leaving the remains of the tree demon. Burning.
The corpses hanging on the tree demon's branches each let out pitiful cries, and then the entire huge tree demon was destroyed under the river of fists, and the blazing flames began to devour everything.
The giant tree demon's core was directly destroyed by the river of boxing. The flames spread and swallowed up his last bit of vitality. Soon, even the last bit of the tree demon's remaining vitality completely disappeared.
"This tree demon is dead!" Li Mu and King Nie fell back to the ground and watched as the tree demon gradually stopped struggling. Then they used all their strength to sweep away the remains of the giant tree and saw the stone door.
But when they saw the stone door, Li Mu and King Nie's expressions sank at the same time, because after the giant tree demon collapsed, the stone door also fell into the ruins, but there was nothing behind the stone door, no passage, and no other special features. Where there is only one stone door.
"There is no passage. This tree demon actually used this stone gate to make a trap to lure people and demons who want to enter the ruins to get closer!" King Nie Ren said with an ugly expression.
Sure enough, this stone gate is just a trap set by the tree demon. There is no passage to the ruins underneath the tree demon. The tree demon just uses the stone door it got from nowhere as a bait to use those people and demons who want to enter the ruins. Psychology keeps them hooked.
This is simply a scam.
"So many people keep coming to die for such a non-existent ruins passage!" Li Mu shook his head and said in a deep voice, "However, the ruins passage is fake, but this stone gate is real. Senior brother, look at the words on this stone gate. !”
"This seems to be ancient writing. The first character looks like a sword, but I can't recognize the second character!" King Nie Ren shook his head and said.
"The second word is grave. The word "Sword Grave" is written on this stone gate. If you look at it this way, this may not be a stone gate, but a tombstone!" Li Mu said.
He couldn't determine the two words on the tombstone, but he had a mastermind. The mastermind scanned and compared some data stored in its database, and quickly identified these two words. These two words were Jianfen.
"Sword Tomb?" King Nie Ren said in surprise, "Then it seems that the ruins are real. There is indeed a ruin called Sword Tomb!"
"Not only is there a sword tomb here, but the sword tomb must be not far away nearby. At least one of the entrances should be nearby, otherwise the tree demon will not be able to get the tombstone at all!" Li Mu said.
This tree demon cannot move freely, and it is certainly impossible for him to move this tombstone from somewhere. The most likely reason for this tombstone is that it was washed here by flash floods caused by rain, or brought here by the river.
If it was brought here by the river, it's a little hard to say. It's hard to tell that the entrance to the sword grave is here. But if it was brought here by a mountain torrent, it's easy to be sure. The entrance must be nearby.
"Junior brother, the river just now is not far away. I will search along the river to see if I can find it. I will also see if I can find some other opportunities. You can search nearby. The two of us will work separately. If we find the entrance, we will Explore first, don’t wait!” King Nie Ren thought for a while and said.
He actually wants to separate from Li Mu. King Nie Ren is actually a very proud person. He does not allow himself to live under Li Mu's wings. In Jingshui Cave Heaven, once he follows Li Mu for a long time, he will definitely have involuntary consequences. Dependence is the biggest obstacle to progress.
Once you have a sense of dependence, you will not be able to break through between life and death. This will not only affect the speed of cultivation, but also have a huge impact on your own mentality. This is absolutely unacceptable to King Nie Ren.
So King Nie wanted to separate from Li Mu. He wanted to face dangers and opportunities by himself. Even death could not scare him. This was his pride.
"Okay, senior brother, be careful!" Li Mu stared at King Nie and nodded slowly.
The growth environment of King Nie Ren is completely different from that of Li Mu. He has shown superhuman talents since he was a child, and his family environment can also support his growth. King Nie Ren has almost never encountered huge setbacks since he was a child, so he Have your own pride and persistence.
After meeting Li Mu and Cui Xuanlong, King Nie discovered that there are mountains beyond the mountains and a sky beyond the sky, but his pride has not disappeared. He wants to grow on his own and use his talents and efforts to step into the top ranks again. This is how it is in the inner sect. , the same is true in the ranks of true successors.
King Nie nodded and also told Li Mu to be careful. Then he rushed towards the river in the distance without looking back, and soon disappeared from Li Mu's eyes.
Li Mu watched King Nie disappear. He glanced at the remains of the giant tree demon, then reached out to grab the tombstone, put the tombstone into his storage bag, glanced around, and began to search around.
Since it may have been washed down by a flash flood, it means that even if the original location of the tombstone is not at the top of the mountain, it should be halfway up a nearby mountain. It is unlikely that it is at the bottom of the mountain.
After searching for a while, Li Mu quickly located his target. There were only a few nearby mountains. Once he knew that the entrance to the ruins below the tree demon was fake, it was not difficult to find the real entrance.
"found it!"
Soon Li Mu found a hidden entrance halfway up a hill. The entrance was very gloomy. The outside was covered with a lot of soil and vegetation. You couldn't find it unless you looked carefully. But if you looked carefully, you could notice the gloominess here. Angry, follow the clues to find the entrance.
