"Damn it! This bastard won't let me get close to the tree!!!"
Ye Li looked up at the sky and then started cursing.
He had already seen that the strange bird would not let him get close to the big tree in front of it. As long as Ye Li moved forward, the strange bird would attack him.
This strange bird did not attack him because of Wan Gu Chang Qing. It attacked him only because he entered the attack range of the strange bird.
The strange bird hated Ye Li and his friends to the core. They had killed all the monsters in the forest. Naturally, the strange bird would attack when it found an opportunity.
"It seems that if we don't deal with this guy, we will have no way to get the crystals on the roots of the Eternal Ivy!!!"
Ye Li said angrily.
The Ice Emperor was silent for a moment, then said, "Let me do it, the death energy doesn't seem to have any effect on us.
Although we have become living beings, our true bodies are still transformed from talismans, so they are completely between dead and living things.
Death energy cannot threaten us, we have tried it many times just now!"
Hearing what the Ice Emperor said, Ye Li was startled, then he smiled and said, "It seems to be true, Senior Ice Emperor, you come and give it a try.
You find the root of the Evergreen Ivy under the tree and see if there is a fist-sized green crystal on it.
The crystal should be wrapped in the roots, it is easy to distinguish!!!"
After hearing Ye Li's words, the Ice Emperor nodded and then walked towards the big tree.
The Sun-Swallowing and Yin-Fire Divine Puppets do not have human bodies, so they are not suitable to dig and check the roots of the Eternal Ivy.
Among them, except Ye Li, only the Ice Emperor could easily take the roots of the Eternal Ivy out of the ground.
Ye Li stood in the distance, watching the Ice Emperor walk to the big tree and then start digging in the ground.
An ice crystal shovel condensed in the Ice Emperor's hand and he dug out all the soil from the ground.
The strange birds in the sky were still attacking, and the huge balls of death gas spit out by the lion's head and the spears of death gas spit out by the snake's mouth all hit the Ice Emperor's body accurately.
But the deathly aura really had no effect on it. No matter how the giant bird attacked, it simply ignored it.
After attacking for a while, the strange bird finally realized that its attack was ineffective. After roaring angrily again, it stopped attacking.
Ye Li had already sensed from the monster bird's attack that it had the strength of a late-stage Talisman Saint.
The Ice Emperor quickly dug out the roots of the Eternal Ivy from the soil.
"Ye Li, there doesn't seem to be the crystal you mentioned here!!!"
After looking at the roots of the Eternal Ivy for a while, the Ice Emperor said to Ye Li.
There are only roots at the roots of the Evergreen Ivy, and there are no crystals wrapped around them.
Ye Li's expression changed when he heard this, and he asked, "What... no crystal?"
Such a result was somewhat unexpected for Ye Li.
After all, this illusion should have existed for a long time. Logically speaking, there must be crystals in the Eternal Ivy here.
But now there is no crystal, which is completely beyond Ye Li's expectations.
"Wait, that's not right. Judging from the shape of these roots, they seemed to have been wrapped in something before. However, there are many broken edges on the roots. It seems that the crystals have been dug out by someone!"
After inspecting the roots, the Ice Emperor suddenly discovered that there were many neat cuts on the roots, which looked like they had clearly been cut off by someone.
Hearing the words of the Ice Emperor, Ye Li's expression suddenly changed, and he said: "So... So the crystal stone on this Eternal Evergreen Ivy has been taken away!!!"
The Ice Emperor said: "Yes, it must have been taken away by someone!"
"Then who took it? It's impossible for the monsters here to take the crystal. Is there someone else here?"
Ye Li said with a puzzled look on his face.
Tunri said: "You forgot that this place used to be the place of the Wrongful Death Palace. Maybe the crystal stone was taken away by their people at that time."
Ye Li was a little confused. If there was only one Eternal Ivy here, and it was now completely killed by the death energy, then the Eternal Ivy would be completely extinct.
He didn't want to find the crystal at the root of the Eternal Ivy anymore.
"Ye Li, there is a palace up here. Since the crystal stone at the root of the Eternal Evergreen Ivy is a treasure, it is normal for people in the past to take it out.
Do you think they will store the crystals somewhere else after taking them out? After all, the crystals at the roots of the Eternal Ivy are not commonly used casting materials!"
Tunri then made his own guess and said to Ye Li.
When Ye Li heard this, his heart moved and a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.
“You are right, there is indeed such a possibility. If the other party did not use the Eternal Ivy to forge things, then this kind of large-scale material would definitely be stored.
I don’t know where that palace is, maybe… maybe the root crystal of the Eternal Ivy is in the palace!”
After hearing what Ye Li said, Tunri nodded and said, "I have the same guess, so why don't we go to the palace first to check out the situation."
Upon hearing this, Ye Li looked up at the strange bird in the sky and said, "That strange bird will definitely not let us enter the palace. Who knows, there may be a big battle soon!"
Tun Ri said: "There will definitely be a big battle. Humph, I want to see how strong this monster is!!!"
The strange bird mobilized an army of monsters to attack everyone, causing them a lot of trouble. Naturally, Tunri would not have a good face towards the strange bird.
The Ice Emperors quickly retreated back to Ye Li, and then they walked towards the hill in front.
When the strange bird saw Ye Li and his companions walking into the hill, it immediately let out a loud cry, then flew into the air and launched a crazy attack towards Ye Li and his companions.
Ye Li snorted coldly. Although they couldn't reach the strange bird in the air, it would definitely not be so easy for the strange bird's attack to hit him.
After Ye Li increased his speed, his figure was as fast as lightning, and the monster bird's attack could not touch him at all.
Although the pervasive death energy might still envelope Ye Li, as long as he was not at the center of the death energy outbreak, Ye Li would not be affected at all with the help of the wood casting secret technique.
Tunri and his men were not affected by the deathly aura at all. They rushed directly through the mountain path and started rushing towards the palace in front.
The strange bird let out an angry roar, and it seemed to know that it could not stop everyone with its deathly aura. It flapped its huge wings suddenly, and then stopped attacking and fell directly towards the palace.
The body of the strange bird began to change the moment it fell. The original bird body gradually disappeared, and a lion-like body replaced the bird body. It even grew another pair of lion's front paws on its chest.
