"Look for the scent of the evil king and determine his approximate location." Fang Yun ordered.
Although the dog demon general was a demon, he faithfully carried out Fang Yun's orders. The scholar next to him was secretly envious. Others trained their demon private soldiers for several years or even generations, but Fang Yun was different. He became the Moon Emperor after writing a poem that was spread all over the world, and then he almost packed hundreds of demons in a village into his private soldiers.
The two evil creatures in the distance were fighting fiercely, while the dog demon general kept using his nose to search for the scent of the evil king, the spirit leopard.
The roots of the strange tree were all underground, so it left a long gully on its path. The dog demon would soon lead everyone to the edge of the gully.
Fang Yun observed the strange tree and the ferocious crabs from time to time. The strange tree was still fighting at the beginning, but soon it slowly killed the ferocious crabs one by one. No matter how hard the shells of the ferocious crabs were, they could not resist being rolled up by a large number of tree roots for a long time.
Soon, the dog demon will stop at the edge of the ravine, which is three miles away from the current location of the strange tree.
The dog demon general sniffed again and said in demon language: "I smell the scent of that spirit leopard. He was still here this morning, but left early. He followed the gully left by the strange tree. There is no way he could be wrong."
Fang Yun said: "It seems that he really lured the strange tree here, and wanted to go to the strange tree's nest to find something. But now such a long time has passed, I don't know if he succeeded. Does anyone know anything about Longya Forest? I don't know much."
Han Shoulu said: "Even if there is no Great Demon King in Longya Forest, there should be other strange trees. It is impossible for the evil king to sneak into the nest of strange trees easily. It will definitely take a lot of time."
"Yes, even if it is the Evil Lord, sneaking into Longya Forest will not be smooth. We have a chance to catch up with him."
Fang Yun asked again in demon language, and Niu Shan immediately said: "You are the Moon Emperor. This crazy strange tree may not care about you, but those ordinary strange trees and grasses should not actively attack you, unless they are those vicious creatures."
Han Shoulu said, "That's why everyone at the Shengxu Mid-Autumn Festival tried their best to write poems in exchange for more moonlight. This is also the reason why the evil king couldn't wait to kill you. If you really use the moonlight to gain an advantage in the Shengxu, he will be even less likely to assassinate you in the future."
Fang Yun took a look at the giant tree that looked no different from a ferocious creature and said, "Let's go to Longya Forest and take a look. But leave one person here to observe the giant tree. If it returns, notify us. Who of you can send a message? Who will stay here?"
After discussing it, everyone found that the Star Demon Barbarians had a unique way of communicating. They used the same branch of a tree from the Holy Ruins to make two whistles. When one whistle was blown, the other whistle would vibrate slightly even if it was a hundred miles away. This was the Star Demon Barbarians' method of communication.
So everyone left a demon soldier here and started running all the way to Longya Forest.
The dog demon general ran a few steps and then jumped into a two-meter-deep ravine, then jumped out with a side root of a strange tree in its mouth. The side root was half a meter long and as thick as a finger. The dog demon general chewed it slowly and ate it bit by bit.
The dog demon saw that everyone stopped to look at him, and immediately whimpered and said, "Don't look at me. Run."
Li Fanming said, "Good things should be shared equally. Brother Dog can't eat alone."
The dog demon general chewed the tree root slowly, blinked, turned around and continued running.
"asshole!"
"mean!"
Everyone followed the dog demon and ran away. Ma Xiong put his mechanical dog into the ravine.
"The roots of a tree are one of the most precious parts of the tree. The roots of the Great Demon King's exotic tree are even better than the Demon King's dragon horns."
Hua Yuqing said, "Cut the roots of the strange tree into slices, clean them and boil them into soup. It will be very helpful for the other party's injuries. This is also a great demon king strange tree. You can imagine how rare it is. Although those fallen leaves are also valuable, they are far inferior to the roots."
Fang Yun immediately said to the dog demon general: "One for each of you, take turns!"
The dog demon whimpered twice. He was very reluctant but had no choice.
Not long after, the mechanical dog picked up a ten-foot-long side root and brought it to Fang Yun.
Hua Yuqing said, "You can't make soup now. Wash the lateral roots, slice them with a knife and chew them slowly. It's best if you can swallow them. If you can't swallow them, spit them out after chewing."
So Fang used water containing lake scallops to wash the lateral roots of the alien tree, then cut them into slices, put them in his mouth, chewed them slowly, and finally swallowed them. He didn't feel anything at first, but when he ate the third slice, he felt hot all over and sweated.
Seeing Fang Yun like this, Hua Yuqing laughed as he ran, "I don't know how much holy blood and holy jade this strange tree absorbed to grow into a great demon king. Its roots are more precious than the best ginseng."
"Yes, the root of the strange tree can be used to sustain life. It is a hundred times more valuable than the same weight of gold and second only to the divine objects such as the life-giving fruit and the longevity fruit. It is a treasure that cannot be bought. In the past two hundred years, no one has been able to obtain the root of the great demon king strange tree from the Holy Ruins. Only a little bit can be obtained occasionally in other ancient places." Jia Jing'an said.
Fang Yun nodded and continued to eat the tree root slices.
After running for ten miles, the dog demon suddenly stopped and said hurriedly: "I smell the scent of other strange trees! There are other strange trees coming!"
Everyone immediately moved away from the ravine and hid aside. After a while, more than ten strange trees broke through the fog, rushing forward aggressively, but because they were trees after all, their roots had to keep digging into the ground, so even if they tried their best, they could only jog like an ordinary person.
Most of these strange trees are demon lords, and there are two demon commanders.
Seeing these strange trees coming to reinforce, everyone was happy instead of worried. This meant that Longya Forest was very empty and safer. It wouldn't be too dangerous to go there now, at least there would be no problem escaping.
After these strange trees left, everyone continued on their journey.
Every time they ran for a while, they would see fallen leaves and roots from strange trees, which they picked up and distributed.
Niu Shan and his men ate the roots of the exotic trees without washing them, while the scholars washed them and ate them, while others put them in the lake shells.
The group picked up the side roots of the exotic trees as they ran, and when they saw the Longya Forest, they slowed down. At this point, each of them had obtained four or five tree roots, which was a considerable harvest.
Fang Yun looked at the dense Longya Forest. Next to the forest was a mountain range, which was the famous Longya. Like the Youshui River, it had powerful power and its terrain did not change often.
At the edge of the woods, the dog demon general said, "The spirit leopard entered the forest from here, and there is no scent of it leaving yet."
Everyone looked at Fang Yun.
"Walk!"
At Fang Yun's command, everyone went deep into the woods along the direction of the ravine.
Longya Forest is a lush primeval forest with giant trees more than ten feet high everywhere. The treetops above are like layers of large umbrellas blocking the sunlight. Even though the sunlight in the Holy Ruins is extremely bright, it is usually difficult to shine on the ground in the forest.
Now a path was opened up by the Great Demon King Tree, and all the trees on both sides fell to the ground, adding a sunny passage to the forest.
Everything went smoothly at the beginning, but after going several miles deep into the forest, everyone felt that there was a force watching them. However, the force was not very strong, so everyone was not too worried. After all, the powerful strange trees had already left.
Soon, the crowd saw that the trees ahead were becoming sparse, and finally they saw a strange big tree standing in front of them. There were almost no other trees around. The trunk of the tree was so thick that it could not be described as thick. The diameter was more than ten miles, and the tree was a hundred feet high. It was simply a tree mountain.
The brown trunk is like metal, and the green leaves are like jade, full of strange texture. People feel happy just by looking at it, as if this big tree can represent nature.
However, under the tree, the flames were blazing, hundreds of strange trees were struggling in the fire, and more of them had been burned to charcoal.
More than a dozen injured demon trees stood firm under the giant tree, using their bodies to block the flames.
"Isn't that the kerosene used by the Mohists to defend the city? This evil king is really crazy!" Li Fanming said.
"No wonder the evil king wants to lead the demon princes and demon kings away, because in front of those demon princes, demon kings and strange trees, this kerosene is no different from water. These demon generals and strange trees are actually very strong. Their bodies are extremely hard, and axes and saws can do nothing to them, but kerosene combined with war poems that summon flames is their nemesis. Just by killing all these strange trees and putting them into his Drinking River Shells, his trip to the Holy Ruins can be said to have paid off. The strange trees have so many uses. They can be used for medicine, pianos, pens and mechanisms." Jia Jing'an said as he ran.
"We can't let him succeed!" Everyone quickened their pace.
The appearance of the strange trees is no different from that of trees, and they don't even have eyes, noses or other organs, and they can't speak. After everyone appeared, many strange trees kept shaking their branches and leaves, and the rustling sound was full of endless sadness.
However, those demon generals did not show any sadness, but instead "looked" at Fang Yun together.
As they ran, the men recited war poems such as "Cang Lang Xing" to summon a large amount of water to wash over and weaken the fire.
The spirit leopard was originally confident of victory, with a very human-like look of pride on its face, but when it saw Fang Yun and the others, it was stunned for a moment involuntarily, and then was hit hard by a strange tree.
The power of the protective treasure allowed it to escape the disaster, and then it moved away from the strange tree and looked at Fang Yun and the others.
The leopard's eyes were blazing, its face was twisted, and it made a strange sound in its throat that only wild animals make when they are angry, as if something was rolling in its throat. Its claws were tightly grasping the ground, wishing to tear the earth apart.
Fang Yun sat in a wheelchair and said with a smile: "Xiong Jun, we meet again!"
The evil king roared and said angrily: "Who are you? What kind of military tactics or painting disguise are you using? Fang Yun is dead! Already dead! He can't appear in front of me!"
Everyone saw a trace of panic in the eyes of the spirit leopard and realized that they had come to the right place. The evil king's leading away the great demon king Yi Mu and burning the Longya Forest must be the key point to entering the Holy Ruins. Once destroyed, the evil king's loss would be enormous, so he was panicked.
Fang Yun stared at the Evil Lord, pointed at his chin, and said slowly and forcefully: "The scars left by your beastly claws are still there, how could it be a disguise. I said that I would leave the Holy Ruins safely! Let me add one more sentence, from now on, you are the prey and I am the hunter, I will make you, the clone, die in the Holy Ruins!"
The offensive and defensive situation reversed!
The spirit leopard forced out a look of contempt and said, "I have been preparing for the Holy Ruins for nearly eight years. Do you think you can kill me now?"
Fang Yun smiled and said, "I know, but whether it's eight years or eighty years, it's limited after all. I will break your life-saving methods one by one. It doesn't matter if you run once or twice, but I will kill you in the end! Now, start running!"
Fang Yun's tone was extremely calm, but to the evil king's ears, it sounded like a mockery from a king.
