"Then what should we do next? This place is too big. Do we need to send someone to explore it carefully?" Nie Caizhu asked.
"Since the Qingqiu Fox Clan has destroyed the magic circle here, it seems that they are planning to abandon this place and will not leave any clues. It is futile to send people to investigate." Shen Luo shook his head and said.
Whether or not clues can be found is secondary. The most important thing is that if other people know the existence of the World Tree, they will not be able to reap the huge benefits in front of them alone.
Nie Caizhu understood what Shen Luo meant and did not object.
She was also quite excited by the huge tree roots in front of her. After all, with so many world trees as materials, she wondered how many top-quality wood-attribute gems she could refine.
The three of them understood each other tacitly and immediately started digging the roots of the World Tree.
Shen Luo made sword gestures with his hands, and several sharp sword energies slashed at a thick tree root nearby.
With a few muffled "puff" sounds, the tree root in front of him was only cut about half a foot, less than one-fifth of the whole.
Shen Luo raised his eyebrows. This World Tree was stronger than he had expected. It would be difficult to cut it through with sword energy alone.
He flicked his sleeves and released all sixteen Pure Yang swords, which turned into sixteen dazzling sword rainbows and slashed down fiercely.
After a series of loud "bang" and "bang" noises, the thick tree root several meters long was cut down.
Shen Luo rolled it up with a flick of his sleeve, put it into the Xiaoyao Mirror, and immediately turned to the next tree root.
On the other side, Nie Caizhu took out a two-foot golden wheel. It looked like a magic weapon made of pure gold. There were gears shining with cold light on the edge, and it looked extremely sharp.
At this moment, the golden wheel chopped on a tree root, spinning and cutting rapidly, and most of the root had been cut off.
Huo Lingzi directly activated a golden magic circle in Gu Xuanxing Disk, and golden knife shadows shot out from it, all slashing towards a tree root nearby.
In a short while, all three of them had made a profit and cut off several tree roots.
But the World Tree before them was too huge. The part that the three had cut off was just a tiny part. It would take an unknown amount of time to take out the entire root.
The three of them looked at each other. They had been delayed here for a long time. Lu Huaming and others might have already searched Qingqiu City. If they stayed any longer, it might arouse suspicion from others.
"The World Tree is right here anyway, so why not leave for now and come back to get it later," Nie Caizhu suggested.
Shen Luo had no better solution and nodded in agreement.
"The World Tree is a rare treasure of the Three Realms. Although it is deep underground, there is no guarantee that it will not be discovered by others. Wait for me to use a sealing power to seal the aura of this wood as much as possible. It will not be too late to leave then." Huo Lingzi said.
"Okay, thank you, Brother Huo." Shen Luo was worried about this matter, and said with joy when he heard this.
"It's a bit difficult for me to perform this secret sealing technique alone. Boy Shen, please give me a hand." Huo Lingzi pinched his fingers and urged the Gu Xuanxing Plate. A white magic circle rose from it and enveloped the World Tree.
He sat cross-legged above the Gu Xuan Star Plate, constantly making hand gestures, and four white light gates appeared in front, behind, left and right of the World Tree.
One of them happened to be next to Shen Luo, sitting on the broken end of a tree root that had just been cut off.
"Just use your magic power to inject it into the other two light gates." Huo Lingzi waved his sleeves, and two red lights were injected into the two nearby light gates, and he said.
