While Tianyang and Xingluo were fighting, Su Lie was not idle either. After he entered the scene, the first thing he did was to "invite" the old man of the mist tree to leave, so that the battle would not affect his son.
Su Lie raised his hand towards the old tree, and the ground began to shake. Before the old lord could react, the ground cracked and then a large piece of rock rose up, carrying the old tree away.
Around the rock, you can see some tentacle-like tree roots sticking out and twisting. The tree roots are covered with baby-like mouths that are constantly opening and closing. These mouths are full of sharp teeth. If you are entangled by the tree roots, you will probably be bitten to pieces.
It turned out that the old tree seemed to be standing on the ground, but in fact its roots were deeply rooted in the ground. And Su Lie knew that if the lord wanted, its roots could go deep into the ground and cover an area of nearly a thousand meters square.
In this way, it continuously obtains the dark particles that are everywhere in the world, and when its roots spread out, this lord is almost impossible to kill.
There are just pros and cons.
In the state that Su Lie called "transformed tree", the old tree was almost impossible to kill. But on the other hand, it was also unable to move, would not actively attack, and its mind was asleep most of the time.
Unless attacked, it is like a harmless old tree.
Now, in order to obtain the "legacy" of the killer, the old tree was moved out of its nest and released from the state of "transformed tree". At this time, it can be killed.
From the moment he was killed, Su Lie had already developed the intention to kill.
It flew a thousand meters in one breath, and the old tree on the rock began to grow roots. The roots quickly extended to the ground. They penetrated into the ground or coiled around the rocks, thereby pulling themselves up and falling to the ground.
Instead of digging its roots into the ground, it rolled and squirmed like an octopus, circling around the old tree. And new branches quickly grew on the roots.
The young branches grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in a few moments, they had formed sharp thorns. The circles of thorns were like guards, protecting the old tree in the middle, unless it flew through the air or cut through the thorns.
Otherwise, if you want to get close to the old tree, you will have to endure the damage from these thorns first.
This is not the end yet.
The hair-like branches on the old tree stood up and grew rapidly in all directions. The black leaves on the branches grew one to two, two to four, and more and more. When Su Lie arrived, a black crown had already appeared on the old tree.
The black leaves on this tree canopy actually have a metallic luster.
Seeing this, Su Lie was not surprised at all. The mist tree elder was very good at defense. When facing prey, it would actively defend, use its various advantages to trap the opponent, and consume the opponent's strength bit by bit.
The old tree will only launch a fatal attack when the opponent is exhausted.
Even now, the defensive means displayed by the old tree are just the tip of the iceberg. It is showing weakness to attract the enemy to approach so as to trap and strangle the opponent to death.
Su Lie had dealt with it several times. Although he had never actually fought with it, he had witnessed the fights between this lord and other black people of the same class and knew a lot about it.
Therefore, he would not be fooled.
Not only did Su Lie not fall for it, he even found it funny and couldn't help saying, "You must be getting old and confused.
Would I fall for this trick?"
A ball of chaotic gray light flew out from Su Lie's chest. This was a chaotic energy. Su Lie stretched out his hand, grasped it, and wiped it on the sword.
Whoosh!
Dark grey chaos flames immediately rose from the sword.
The old man-like lord suddenly shook the treetops, violently shaking out hundreds of black leaves. Those leaves made sharp whistling sounds and shot towards Su Lie like flying knives.
How could Su Lie take such a childish attack seriously? He didn't even dodge. Dark light surged on his body, forming a dark heavy armor similar to the fighting spirit armor.
The old tree's black leaf nails hit the black light heavy armor and all fell to the ground. There was not even a crack in the black light heavy armor. Su Lie took the opportunity to slash with his sword.
boom!
The seemingly careless sword had set off a gray wave. The chaotic fire wave hit the tree old man's wood thorn matrix, and the tree roots and wood thorns that would not be ignited by ordinary flames were now all burning.
And in the chaos fire, the energy of the old tree was permanently burned by the flames. This was exactly Su Lie's purpose. What he wanted to burn was not the old tree's body, but the dark particles that were everywhere in its body!
The energy is permanently reduced and cannot be saved by replenishing dark particles. The reduced energy needs time to increase before it can return to its original level.
Originally, he thought that he had inherited part of the 'slayer's' legacy and had greatly increased his strength, so he wanted to find trouble with Su Lie. However, he never expected that after a single encounter, Su Lie would burn off part of his energy.
The old tree acted decisively. There was a crackling sound among the roots. It actually cut off its own roots and quickly left the tree formation, for fear of being touched by the Chaos Fire.
It didn't want to be contaminated by that dark grey flame.
"Don't go. Don't you want revenge? Why do you only dare to bully my men when I'm not at home?" Su Lie chased after him. The chaos fire on the sword in his hand was far from being extinguished.
After all, this was obtained by Su Lie in exchange for a unit of stored energy. How could it be used up so easily? You must know that each unit of chaotic energy is equal to one hundred units of star essence plus the same number of dark particles!
The old tree suddenly swung out its roots, and several roots entangled the nearby rocks, rolled them up, and threw them at Su Lie like a cannonball.
As the tree roots were swung out, brown "seeds" that were invisible to the naked eye also flew out. They danced lightly in the air, fell to the ground, and fell to Su Lie.
Su Lie sneered, knowing that the old man would not dare to take risks easily. He was testing him and also wanted to consume the chaos fire on his sword.
But those rocks posed no threat to Su Lie at all. He was too lazy to even dodge and just crashed into them, breaking one rock after another.
Su Lie did not notice that when he smashed the rocks and rushed towards the old tree, some of the "seeds" that were difficult to see with the naked eye had already stained his black heavy armor.
Seeing that the flying rock didn't work, the old tree changed its mind and dug its roots into the ground. The rhizome expanded rapidly, as if something was extracted from its body and then injected into the ground.
Soon, saplings sprouted from the ground. The saplings grew at a very fast speed, and in the blink of an eye, they had turned into towering trees.
The trees suddenly opened their eyes, then were uprooted from the ground and moved towards Su Lie.
Su Lie was stunned. He had never seen the old man of the mist tree.
This method was able to give birth to dozens of tree people. Some of these tree people launched attacks, and their roots and vines whipped Su Lie like whips. They spewed poisonous miasma and raised roots from the ground to entangle Su Lie. There were also some who did not participate in the attack, and these tree people actively deployed defenses.
The treemen in charge of defense had their crowns grow rapidly, eventually forming a continuous stretch that looked like a sea of trees.
They connect with each other through vines, and produce some green sap on the surface. This sap contains toxins, which not only cover the body of the tree man, but also flow between each vine.
The vine net woven by tree vines immediately turned into a poison net. If Su Lie didn't want to get into this poison net, he had to step into the forest on top, but that seemingly quiet and peaceful forest must have some defensive measures.
However, Su Lie didn't want to step into the forest, nor did he want to get into the poison net. He sneered and thrust his sword into the ground.
Immediately afterwards, dark grey flames were released from the swords. They converged together and exploded!
A fire tornado rose from the ground. This dark gray fire tornado had a huge suction force. It sucked in all the roots and vines of the tree man and ignited them.
The chaos fire spread rapidly along the roots and vines of the tree people, instantly igniting their bodies.
The fire tornado did not disappear, it continued to move forward, and soon crashed into the tree man's defense position. It pulled many poisonous nets and ignited the sea of trees, causing the tree man's wailing to be heard constantly in the sea of fire.
The sea of fire was still not extinguished, and Su Lie suddenly felt a heavy aura. He raised his head slightly and looked behind the sea of fire. He saw a gloomy shadow rising behind the sea of fire.
That was the old misty tree magnified countless times. It had now turned into a towering ancient tree, almost as tall as a nearby hill.
It turns out that the tree man before was just trying to delay Su Lie so that it would have time to "grow".
The grown trees let out a dull and continuous roar, as if celebrating their victory in advance. The dense, sun-blocking canopy was emitting thick fog.
The fog spread rapidly, and in a blink of an eye, the figure of the old tree became unclear.
Su Lie knew how powerful this mist was. It was highly toxic and could kill even high-level black civilians in a few seconds. In addition, it could interfere with perception, causing the energy in your body to go out of control, and under the control of the tree elder, it could also cause a mist explosion.
This is an offensive and defensive method, which is very tricky. The trickiest part is that the fog can penetrate any hole. Even if you hold your breath, it can get into your body.
"It's really powerful, but unfortunately, I happen to know a way or two to deal with similar abilities."
Su Lie sighed again: "It's a bit wasteful. I didn't expect that I would have to use two portions of chaos energy to deal with you."
As he spoke, a ball of dark gray light surged out from Su Lie's chest, and a dark gray multifaceted light body formed around him.
This is exactly what he relies on to act in the "darkness". It can resist the attacks of those black gas belts and can naturally be used to resist the fog of the old tree.
Su Lie unfolded this multifaceted light body and plunged into the fog. A moment later, a streak of dark flames suddenly shot up into the sky from the thick fog, and a hurricane rolled through the fog, splitting it left and right.
Then, in the depths of the thick fog, the huge body of the old tree split into two, and was dyed with chaotic flames, turning into a huge torch!
