Upon hearing this, Ye Li said: “Senior An is an expert in medicine, if he helps, he might be able to heal your injury.
Three seniors, since the other party has already escaped, let's leave here too."
Hearing Ye Li's words, Cao Yu said, "Wait a minute, little brother Ye Li, we still have some things to get, come with us!"
After Cao Yu finished speaking, he walked first towards the direction of the natural sacred tree, and Ye Li and Dian Yu hurriedly followed behind him.
The group of four passed through the forest and soon arrived at the natural sacred tree. This time, there were no spiritual creatures to block their way along the way.
It was not known whether the spiritual creatures disappeared because the life energy of the wood element in the forest was greatly reduced, or whether the spiritual creatures stopped attacking because of the presence of Cao Yu and the other two.
After the four of them arrived next to the Natural Divine Tree, Cao Yu and the other two took the initiative to kneel down and kowtow to the tree, their faces full of piety.
Ye Li was stunned, looking at the actions of the three people, somewhat confused.
Cao Yu seemed to have guessed Ye Li's thoughts and said, "Brother Ye Li must not understand why we kowtowed!"
Hearing this, Ye Li nodded and said, "Yes, I am indeed a little curious."
Cao Yu smiled lightly and said, "For us, the Wood Spirit Clan, the Godly Tree is like our ancestor.
The reason why we can survive here is because of the natural sacred tree.
Legend has it that our tribe first fled into the snowy area.
There was no ice tomb area outside at that time. The ice tomb area was a huge formation created by our tribesmen who found ways to change the surrounding terrain.
But even if there was no ice grave area, the harsh environment here would make it very difficult for people to survive.
Our ancestors were not very strong and were exhausted by the time they got here.
As a result, they accidentally discovered the underground world here. At that time, it was filled with rich life force and all the wounded were treated.
There are also many edible plants here, and there are no monsters, so our ancestors seemed to have been reborn and settled down here.
The underground world here was created because of the natural sacred tree. Without it, our ancestors would not be able to survive here.
Gratitude for the sacred tree made our ancestors worship it as a sacred object, which is the belief of our tribe.
After each of us is born, we will be full of gratitude and respect for the God Tree, so we kneel down to worship it. "
After hearing Cao Yu's words, Ye Li finally understood the significance of the natural sacred tree to the wood spirit clan.
Cao Yu and the other two stood up from the ground, and then took Ye Li to the back of the natural sacred tree, where there was also an open space.
The three of them immediately began digging on the ground and soon dug up a layer of soil.
After digging up the soil, a stone door was revealed on the ground, which was covered with rune marks.
Cao Yu stood in front of the stone gate and tried his best to gather a ball of spiritual energy in his hands, then drew three runes.
Three runes gathered in the air and transformed into a strange rune key, which was imprinted on the stone gate.
The stone door instantly turned into a ball of mud and flowed in all directions, revealing a huge cellar.
"This is where we, the Mu Ling clan, store valuable items. Although we don't actually have many valuables, we have such a long history after all, so we always store some good things here.
These things are basically the materials we use to set up formations. By taking these things out, we can set up formations at any time.
The material needed for the Heart-Destroying Formation should only be found here. It is the resin that has flowed from the Natural God Tree over the years."
As Cao Yu spoke, he waved to Ye Li and then took the lead and jumped into the cellar.
The cellar was not deep, but it was quite spacious, and indeed contained a lot of materials.
Cao Yu, Dian Yu and the other two walked up to the materials and began to put them into their Qiankun bags one by one.
Soon, all the materials were packed up and the cellar was empty.
The three of them looked at Ye Li, and Cao Yu smiled and said, "Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time, brother Ye Li. We can leave here now.
We, the Mu Ling clan, have lived here for too long. Because we are isolated from the outside world, we have avoided several wars outside and survived.
But it was also because of our isolation from the world and lack of fresh blood that we eventually went to extinction.
From now on, the Mu Ling clan will no longer exist, and the three of us are the last of the Mu Ling clan."
After saying this, Cao Yu took the lead and left the cellar.
Outside the underground world, Zuo Hufa and Pingqiu looked at the entrance of the underground world with uncertain expressions.
“Master Protector, should we ambush them here
The realms of those three old men were not very high. The reason why they could exert the fighting power of Fu Sheng was probably because they relied on some power from that underground world.
If they come up later, Ye Li will be the only one capable of fighting."
Pingqiu said to the left protector.
Upon hearing this, the left protector pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "The environment here is too special. The power stored in my glass bottle has just been released. Now the glass bottle can only barely emit icy power to protect the two of us.
If a war really breaks out here, Ye Li is not that easy to deal with. As long as he is able to hold on for a while and break the protection on my glass bottle, our situation will be dangerous.
The icy power here is very difficult to resist. Once we lose the icy power to cover our own breath, we will definitely be attacked by the icy vortex, and we may even die here."
Hearing what the left protector said, Ping Qiu was stunned, nodded, and said: "That Ye Li is really a huge disaster. The Tianhun Society has suffered a great loss at his hands. The last time we got the Bingling Gold, it was also taken away by him."
The left protector said: "He won't be arrogant for long. The overall situation cannot be changed by him alone. We and the Heavenly Soul Society have made full preparations. Once all the statues are cast, we will launch an all-out war.
After the war begins, we will build seven towers across the continent.
The blood and energy of war will be absorbed by Tongtiantai and finally provide power to activate the statue.
Once the statue is activated, it will be irreversible, the world barrier will definitely be broken, and Lord Dahuntian will be able to come into the world.
No matter how strong Ye Li is, he cannot stop our plan. Our power is stronger than he imagined, and he can only act as a clown and make minor troubles.
Let's go. There's no point in staying here. We haven't completed the mission given to us by the Heavenly Soul Society yet. Let's go back to the Divine Religion first."
Pingqiu nodded when he heard this, then took a reluctant look at the cave, and followed the left protector towards the outside of the ice tomb area.
