"Great Sage! Great Sage! Where are you?"
Li Mo looked towards the dark cave entrance and could see nothing but endless darkness. Even the Great Sage who had just entered had disappeared.
Following the thick rattan at the entrance of the cave, Li Mo slid down into the cave little by little. But what he didn't expect was that the tree hole was not as simple as he saw outside. It was very deep, and his legs were still touching the ground after about a quarter of an hour.
"This tree hole should be connected to the cave on the ground. It is simply a bottomless pit!"
Now he finally understood why Han Tianyu marked this place as a dangerous area. There might be some terrifying monsters in such a dark underground cave.
"Do you want to go up? But the Great Sage is still down there. It would be too boring for me to go up alone. Forget it, we have already gone down here, so let's go down and have a look. As long as we are careful, there shouldn't be any danger. After all, the Great Sage is still here!”
After another ideological struggle, Li Mo decided to go and find out. Place your own safety on the Great Sage again.
After another quarter of an hour, Li Mo's legs finally touched the ground, and a pungent musty smell entered his nose.
"Ahem... Monkey King! Where are you?"
Li Mo was choked so much that he cautiously moved forward step by step in this dark underground world.
But what puzzled him was that no matter how much he called out the name of the Vajra Giant Ape, there was still no response from it.
"Did it go inside?"
Seeing the darkness in front of him, Li Mo began to feel a trace of fear in his heart. He didn't have any lighting tools like torches on him, and now he was in a difficult situation.
And just when Li Mo was worried about a dilemma, a spot of light suddenly appeared in front of him, which was extra-curricularly dazzling in the darkness where he couldn't even see his fingers. Then a familiar cry came over.
Woo woo woo...
The great sage held up this luminous stone and ran over while thinking about his position!
"Where have you been! What is this glowing stone?"
Woo woo woo...
The Great Sage ignored Li Mo's complaints and pulled him inside.
With the light emitted by the stone, Li Mo could clearly see their environment. This is an underground cave. Above the ground should be the dead leaves that have fallen from the big tree over the years. On both sides are walls mixed with soil and gravel. Li Mo found no traces of artificial excavation, and it should be naturally formed.
The cave becomes more spacious as you go inside, and the kind of glowing lights the Great Sage holds in his hand appear sporadically on the surrounding walls.
Li Mo took off a piece and studied it for a long time. Apart from the fact that the stone glowed, he didn't see any other clues, nor did he sense the existence of any energy in it.
They walked for a while and finally arrived at the bottom of the cave. This place is unusually spacious, and the surrounding walls are covered with luminous stones, which have illuminated the dark underground cave as if it were daylight!
"Oh my God! What is that?"
Li Mo saw a small tree as tall as a person growing in the center of the cave. What surprised him was that the small tree had lush branches and leaves without sunlight, and it also emitted a faint blue light.
Woo woo woo...
The Great Sage shouted twice excitedly, pulling Li Mo and running towards the small tree. It seemed that he was very interested in the small tree.
But when they just stepped within ten meters of the small tree, a slight vibration suddenly occurred on the ground. Thick vines sprouted out of the ground, wrapping around them like giant pythons!
"I'll go! What is this!"
Li Mo couldn't help being shocked when he saw this. He had only heard of monsters in animal form. This is the first time I’ve seen a plant become a spirit!
Woohoo…
The Great Sage seemed to have known the existence of this thing for a long time, dodging left and right to avoid the entanglement of those vines.
Li Mo did not dare to be careless and started to wave the red dragon scale sword in his hand.
Swish, swish, swish…
Red-gold light flashed, and a large number of vines were cut into two pieces. It fell to the ground and twisted a few times before turning into a pool of green water and disappearing.
However, these difficult vines did not decrease because of Li Mo's slashing, but more came out of the ground.
A barrier was formed in front of the small tree, as if they didn't want Li Mo and the Great Sage to get close to the small tree.
But the more this happened, the more Li Mo believed that the small tree was extraordinary. His curiosity was suddenly aroused, and he had to go and see what happened.
"Breaking the air!"
Li Mo gave a light drink and swung his sword directly towards the thickest vine.
Swish, swish, swish…
The dragon-scaled red sword flew up and down, and countless sword shadows streaked through the vines. But the vines seemed to be endless, doubling and continuing to sprout out of the ground!
"What the hell is this? If this continues, even if you are not entangled with these things, you will be exhausted to death!"
There was sweat on Li Mo's forehead, and the Great Sage next to him didn't seem relaxed either. Using the huge tearing power of its fangs and arms, there is no danger for the time being. But in the face of more and more vines, who knows what the result will be later.
"No, we must find the roots of these vines! Zangetsu..."
boom…
Li Mo shouted loudly, and a huge red-gold half-moon-shaped light directly hit the ground while his body was suspended in the air. The explosion sounded, splashing soil up to a height of ten meters, and the vines also turned into green thick water during the explosion. But in just a few breaths, new vines crawled out from the ground!
"Zangetsu..."
Li Mo was waiting for this opportunity. He found the spot where the vines climbed out and started to use his skills again. This time he released his skills twice in a row, and half of his body's energy was drained away.
Boom boom…
A huge explosion sounded, and the roots of the vine finally appeared in Li Mo's sight.
In a huge crater about ten meters deep that was blasted out by Li Mo, a green thing as tall as a person and as big as a human heart was beating rhythmically. Every time it beats, countless vines will grow on it!
"Oh no! What's so disgusting?"
Li Mo couldn't help but feel chilled when he saw it, but the great sage on the side was extremely surprised when he saw this thing. Completely ignoring those vines, he shuttled his body between the gaps of those vines, and in a blink of an eye he was in front of the thing.
"Great Sage, be careful!"
Li Mo was very anxious when he saw this, for fear that something would happen to it. Although it is the king in this misty forest, it is also in the world of monsters. There is no way a plant can buy this thing.
Without saying a word, Li Mo directly used the air-breaking skill to catch up regardless of the energy consumption!
When the Great Sage saw Li Mo, he pointed at the thing that was still beating like a heart and took a bite.
With a pop,
A piece of flesh was ripped off from the thing under the fangs of the Great Sage, and a thick green liquid surged out of its body. The Great Sage started sucking without hesitation, and Li Mo retched as he watched. However, this green liquid has no peculiar smell, but has a light fragrance.
After the thing broke, the vines stopped growing. It begins to wither and finally disappears.
After the crisis was over, Li Mo breathed a sigh of relief. But the Great Sage's belly seemed to be as bottomless as the cave, sucking up all the liquid in the thing. But it still seemed to be unsatisfied, and in the end it even wanted to eat the skin of the thing.
In the end, Li Mo stopped him and pulled him to jump into the pit. But the small glowing tree was nowhere to be seen!
"No way! Could it be that the tree has become a spirit? Has the long legs run away?"
