The thorn giant monster is definitely very powerful, with at least a warrior-level combat capability. However, things in the world tend to be one thing after another. No matter how strong a tree is, it is afraid of fire. Once it burns, no matter how strong it is, it will be in vain. The powerful tree monster was instantly surrounded by flames. The fire grew stronger and stronger, and it finally made a pleading sound.
"Spare your life, spare your life!"
Brief fluctuations of thoughts were conveyed to Ye Ming's sea of consciousness. The tree demon could not speak human words and could only communicate with other creatures using his thoughts.
Ye Ming saw that the tree demon would be burned to death if he continued to burn it, so he raised his hand and fired dozens of water talismans, extinguishing the flames in an instant. The dryad's body was covered in black and gray, and it suffered serious injuries. Its huge head was inlaid with two cyan eyes, as big as a pot lid.
"Thank you for not killing me." The tree demon did not dare to be rude to Ye Ming anymore, but expressed his gratitude.
Ye Ming asked: "You tried to stop me, and I should have killed you. However, God has the virtue of a good life, so I will let you go. However, death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be escaped. After today, you will follow Are you willing to be a slave serving tea and water next to me?"
The tree demon has no concept of dignity. Ye Ming asked you to follow him, and he didn't feel any difference. Instead, he felt that it was not a bad thing to leave this desolate place. But he immediately told Ye Ming that his body was born here. If he left like this, if the thorn tree here was damaged, he would be homeless.
Ye Ming said: "This is easy, you mark out a range for the body, and I will set up a psychedelic array nearby so that no other living being can enter. If you are still worried, I can also set up a teleportation array in the psychedelic array, so that if something happens here , you can return to the rescue at any time.”
The tree demon's wisdom is still shallow, but he also understands what Ye Ming means. When he heard that he was so capable, he nodded repeatedly.
Ye Ming knew that tree elves like this had no evil intentions. One was one, and two was two, otherwise he wouldn't have him by his side. He said: "You are so big that it is difficult to move around me. Do you have any means to change?"
The tree demon's huge body swayed and shrunk in an instant, turning into a middle-aged man about the same height as the Giant Spirit Warrior. Moreover, his image was actually three-thirds similar to Ye Ming. It seems that he changed according to Ye Ming's appearance. become. It's just a human being. After the transformation, his skin is still dry and hard, without any human color, just like a zombie.
Ye Ming didn't mind either, so he let him follow behind him and continue to move forward with the marching team. With the Dryad accompanying him, the thorns along the way gave way, and the journey went very smoothly. When they arrived at the edge of the thorn forest, which was exactly eight hundred miles away, Ye Ming made the giant spirit soldiers set up camp here.
In the open air, the giant spirit soldiers set up tables and chairs, and Ye Ming sat in the center. The tree demon squatted aside honestly, looking a little embarrassed. Xiaobao and Xiaoqiang also jumped out, jumping around on the tree demon curiously. Xiaoqiang said: "What kind of monster is this idiot? Why does he look so ugly?"
The tree demon glanced at Xiaoqiang and said, "I like to eat snake meat the most."
Xiaoqiang was angry and wanted to fight, but Ye Ming stopped him. He said to the tree demon: "You will follow me from now on. For the sake of your convenience, I will give you a name. It will be called Thorns."
The tree demon hurriedly said: "Thank you, Master, for the name."
At this time, Xiaobao suddenly screamed, his little nose twitched, and then he looked straight into the distance. Ye Ming knew that treasure hunting rats were good at hunting for treasures. He was moved in his heart and asked, "Xiaobao, what did you find?"
Xiaobao squeaked and pointed his little paws forward. He regained his composure and asked Jing Ci first: "What is the land ahead?"
Thorns showed a longing look and said: "Ahead is the Divine Lake."
"Holy Lake? What kind of place?"
"The Divine Lake existed a long time ago. The lake water is sweet and has magical effects. The reason why I was able to turn into a demon spirit is because the water brought by the tornado fell here, and I was able to open up my spiritual wisdom." Thorns expressed gratitude. color.
Ye Ming: "In that case, why don't you move to the shore of Shenhu Lake?"
Thorns shook his head repeatedly: "The Divine Lake is occupied by the Divine Lake Palace. Let alone living in it, even if you get close to it, you may be killed by those powerful humans."
"Oh? Are the people in Shenhu Palace so strong? How strong are their people?" Ye Ming was slightly shocked, having a premonition that this Shenhu Palace would be a powerful enemy.
Jing Ci said: "The people of Shenhu Palace practice Shinto, and there are four gods among them. They can be regarded as one of the stronger forces in the Xuantian world." He then told Ye Ming that the ultimate goal of Shinto practice is to become a god. The division of realms in Shinto practice is hugely different from that of martial arts. It only has lower realm, middle realm, and upper realm. Each realm has nine turns, which can almost correspond to many small levels among the nine levels from warrior disciple to martial god.
Of course, when you reach the ninth level of the upper realm, you can achieve divine enlightenment. And among the gods, there are many divisions. The four gods in Shenhu Palace have roughly the fighting power of a warrior god.
Ye Ming then knocked on Xiaobao and said: "Idiot, of course there are treasures in Shenhu Palace, but it's a pity that you can't just take them."
Xiaobao screamed a few times in dissatisfaction, expressing his dissatisfaction and insisting on a trip to Shenhu Palace. How could Ye Ming let it mess around and just put it in his pocket. He asked Jing Ci: "You have settled here, do you know the situation of Xuantian Continent? How many forces are there on this continent? Where does Shenhu Palace rank?"
Jing Ci said that although he stayed in the woods most of the time, he would sometimes go out and wander around. Moreover, he had killed many humans and learned a lot about the Xuantian world from their mouths. The current Xuantian world is divided into nine major powers. In addition to Shenhu Palace, there are also Xingxiu Sea, Hidden Sword Villa, etc. Each force controls many small worlds.
The environment of Xuantian World is relatively harsh, and the population here is far less than that of Tianyuan Continent. The total number is less than one-tenth of the latter. Jing Ci also mentioned that a long time ago, Xuantian World was not like this. At that time, Xuantian World was densely populated, with a suitable environment and beautiful scenery. A huge dynasty was also established.
However, one day suddenly, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered, and the whole world changed. It became more and more desolate, and a large number of creatures became extinct, gradually forming what it is today.
Ye Ming asked curiously: "Do you know what caused Xuantian World to become like this?"
Thorns scratched his head: "Some people say it was caused by the collapse of God's will."
"God's will collapsed?" Ye Ming was stunned, "Will God's will collapse again?"
Jing Ji said: "Yes, it is said that the providence of the great world will collapse once every era, and then be reborn in nirvana to form a new providence."
Ye Ming: "You mean, the old providence has collapsed and the new providence has not yet formed? So today's Xuantian world has lost the control of providence and has become the current situation?"
"It should be like this." Jingshi wasn't too sure, "Anyway, that's what everyone else said."
Ye Ming touched his chin and thought, does the opportunity mentioned by the Suzaku Dynasty refer to this matter? Do you know where the ghost army was that day
Since he was ordered to station here, Ye Ming stayed still and waited for further orders. He also informed the rear troops of the location of Shenhu Palace.
At night, Ye Ming carefully took off a message talisman from his body. This message talisman existed in pairs, and the other one was placed on Su Lan. Since Sulan left Tianyuan Continent, he was unable to contact him. Now that the two are in the same big world, theoretically he can now get in touch with Su Lan.
A trace of Zhen Gang was input into it, and the message talisman glowed brightly. He quickly said: "Xiaolan, I am near Shenhu Palace, can you hear me?"
For a long time, no response came from the message symbol. After the energy of the talisman was exhausted and turned into ashes, he let out a long sigh, his heart filled with worry. Could it be that Sulan was in danger? Otherwise, why haven't I heard from him
At the Far Hidden Sword Villa, a young man was wiping his sword. Suddenly, a talisman beside him lit up, and a strange man's voice came from it: "Xiaolan, I'm near the Shenhu Palace, can you hear me?" ?”
The young man's eyes shone coldly. He sneered and said to himself: "Su Lan, no wonder you don't want to follow me. It turns out you already have someone in your heart. Haha, if this person dies, you should be relieved, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his body and sword turned into a sword light, which shot into the air with a "thread" sound, and galloped away into the distance.
At the same time, in the secret room of Hidden Sword Villa, Su Lan was practicing with concentration. If Ye Ming sees her, he will be surprised. Su Lan's realm has actually reached the level of Wu Jun, and it seems that he is about to break through a small realm.
Ye Ming failed to contact Su Lan and was in a bad mood. He took out the Xuantian sword and danced under the sword.
His Xuantian Baidi Sword has already cultivated the sword intention, and the next step is to condense the sword heart. What is the heart of the sword is not clearly stated in the sword manual, and he can't figure it out for a while. I just feel that my mood is ups and downs at this moment, and I want to express it with my sword intention. However, with the light of the sword, the worry and sadness in his heart became more and more obvious.
The light of the sword is like a rainbow in the sky, shooting like lightning, and the sword spans nineteen continents with flying momentum. But Ye Ming's hand holding the sword was very unstable, because his heart was unstable, and his hand was unstable. If his hand was unstable, the sword light would be somewhat scattered.
"I shouldn't let my emotions affect my sword, my sword." He murmured, forcing down the turbulent emotions in his heart, and the sword light became more and more stable.
He performed all the sword skills he knew, and suddenly his heart moved, saying: "The human heart is easily affected by emotions, joy, anger, sorrow, joy, and fear, which will affect the performance of sword skills. If I have a heart that is not contaminated by all things, Being extremely sincere and single-minded in the way of swordsmanship, isn’t that the heart of the sword?”
Thinking of this, he entered a wonderful state of selflessness. At this moment, he seemed to have entered the sword. He was the sword, ruthless, rational, decisive in killing, as cold as steel, and invincible!
